It looks at the their growth and development since World War I along with their definite effect upon modern military affairs. It looks at the use of mines and cruise missles and future technological advancements such as hypersonic missile concepts that strike long distance targets at high speeds.
From the Paper
"Although, precision has been recognized as one of the important feature of weapon development as noted by military theorist, historian and strategist Major General J.F.C. Fuller, who considered it as ?accuracy of aim? and as one of the five familiar attributes of weaponry, collectively with range of volume of fire, striking power, action and portability. Here, it is important to note that the modern precision weapon bring together the traits of accuracy, portability, striking power and range making the combination of a powerful force multiplier in nowadays' military scene."

Abstract
This paper describes precision agriculture. The author feels that precision agriculture may be the greatest development since the agricultural revolution. The paper then discusses how precision agriculture became possible and the technologies behind it. The author concludes that precision agriculture enables small farmers to survive in a market dominated by huge corporate farms.
From the Paper
"Precision agriculture became possible through the development of Global positioning systems technology and as such technology has increased in accuracy and decreased in cost, as technology tends to do there has been a far-reaching effect. Though the price tag may still seem high the promise of precision agriculture far outweighs the initial output. "Normal civilian GPS receivers have a precision of about 100 yards. A system called differential GPS, which requires a local base station, can provide meter-level accuracy. At these accuracy levels, the technology has found widespread use in the nation's farmland, as part of a movement called precision agriculture. ("Satellite System Can Control")"

Abstract
This paper addresses the benefits of guided reading in grades K-3. It also compares guided reading direct instruction methods. It explains that there are necessary basics involved in encouraging a successful guided reading lesson and then examines these basics.
From the Paper
"I visited my elementary school a few weeks ago. Winfield Street Elementary School in Corning, N.Y., was where I was educated from kindergarten until fifth grade. Remembering back, each classroom always had a very traditional setup. The desks were always in rows and the teacher's desk in the front. Students were considered "empty containers" that were filled with facts and rules through lecture and discussion. The students had little choice in the direction of their learning. As I walked through the hallways of my elementary school and peeked into different classroom doorways, I saw the same setup. Sadly, some teachers believed that direct teacher instruction was still better than any other type of instruction. I do not know how or why teachers can feet that students gained from this type of instruction. Recently, in many schools, a new reading technique is being used. This new technique is guided reading and it requires teachers to have a more focused approach on reading instruction. "

Guided Reading vs. Ability Grouping, 2004.
This paper explores whether a guided reading approach is more effective than past practices of reading instruction.

Abstract
This paper explains the main criticisms of ability grouping practices, which refer to reading groups created by the teacher according to the size of the class, students' reading aptitudes, or the distribution of reading aptitudes within the class, are that such practices do not accomplish anything of benefit to students and that they fosters unequal opportunities for academic achievement among different groups of students. The author relates that the goal of guided reading is for instructors to provide an environment that will assist students in their progression toward independent, silent reading by fostering positive attitudes toward reading in students and by aiding students in the development of strategies to extract meaning from reading and to understand the reading process. The paper concludes that an approach that combines grouping strategies with guided reading practices may prove to be the most beneficial option for reading instruction.

A Combined Approach
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Four Blocks approach used guided reading as a crucial component to its instructional strategy. Guided reading was known as the basal block, because the basal reader drove instruction at this level. There are several purposes of this block, including exposing children to a wide range of reading material, teaching strategies for comprehension and challenging children by providing increasingly more difficult reading material. Guided reading provides a base for the following blocks. However, it is difficult to target guided reading practices to students that represent various literacy levels, and inevitably some students are struggling while others are not challenged enough."

Abstract
This paper discusses the problems of the residents of Badger, Wisconsin, who are battling to drink contaminant-free water, trying to avoid poisoned fish in Ballistics Pond, and holding their breath while old ammunition sites are burning dinitrotuluene; and yet the government continues to both push and ignore the very destruction that ails them. The author continues that the Department of Defense is spending money on additional armed submarines to continue polluting the oceans. The paper states that, if the United States government wants more money for defense, it should consider taking up effective listening in regards to what might matter to the people in the world.
From the Paper
"The budget proposal mentioned becomes even more sickening when you explore what has happened in Badger further. Badger citizens cannot even drink their own water. According to The Citizens for Safe Water around Badger, "Late on Wednesday, March 3, the Army received results from monitoring wells sampled during the December 2003 round. Several monitoring wells located along the south boundary of Badger detected DNT in groundwater near the intersection of Keller Road and Highway 78 in Sumpter township. DNT levels were detected at 0.02 and 0.05 ppb (parts per billion). The safe drinking water standard for DNTs is 0.05 ppb." The detection of this cancer - causing agent in the Badger water prompted the military to hurry up and wait. Time has elapsed, dollars have been spent, and there is still no cure."

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the circumstances that brought about the development of guidance system weapons in 1944. This paper also discusses in-depth the influential role satellite communication technology had and continues to have in most areas of warfare as well as the importance of global positioning systems (GPS).
From the Paper
"Although the atomic bomb was a revolutionary new weapon, it played no part in World War II until the end, and cannot be said to have had a profound impact on the actual conduct of war since. The effectiveness of nuclear weaponry is so extreme that, were it to be used, the results would be incalculable loss of life and destruction that could produce a complete change in the world as we know it today. It could also be said that the significance of the atomic bomb was in the elimination of warfare among the developed countries, but that has not happened. Instead, wars have continued almost unabated in one part of the world or another since then."
