Abstract
This paper defines what a search engine is and explains how various search engines work. There is a search engine glossary which provides an explanation of the various search methods and an evaluation of some of the bigger search engines on the Internet.
From the Paper
"As defined by an online encyclopedia called Webopedia, a search engine is ?a program that searches documents for specified keywords and returns a list of the documents where the keywords were found. Although search engine is really a general class of programs, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Alta Vista and Excite that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web and USENET newsgroups?1. In a logistical sense, a search engine acts like a warehouse. The following demonstrates how web pages are found and indexed, then stored like inventory until a user requests the keyword(s) or subject found in those particular web pages."

From the Paper
"This research reports the results of the use of two Internet search engines to elicit so-called "hits," or links to Web sites covering the topic of project management. The research will set forth the details of searches and hits encountered on the Google and Excite search engines and discuss findings from ten sites listed in these search engines, as well as evaluate their relative merits for efficiency, content, and comprehensiveness.
The fact that proprietary search engines, or sets of computer programs that function as instruments of and portals to online information retrieval (Search, 2001), are of variable quality has long been acknowledged by information-industry experts (Salpeter, 2001; Goldsborough, 2001). This owes something to the information-retrieval utilities, conventions, and ..."

Abstract
This paper describes a recent initiative of the The National Center for Biotechnology Information, which is a national resource for molecular biology information. The project is known as Western Washington University Periodic Search Agent for Protein Database Information or WWU Search Agent. This web-based search engine browses and does periodic searches of the protein databases of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool or BLAST. The writer describes the benefits of this project, which include its interfacing with the NCBI BLAST and the continuous updates and enhancements done by NCBI on the system.
Includes Charts:
Chart - Content of Protein Sequence Databases
Fig. 1 - General Subsequence and Database Input Area
Figure 2 - Options for Advanced BLASTing Input Area
Figure 3 - Format input area for report outputs
From the Paper
"The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families. The summary of the Content of Protein Sequence Databases with the sequences they contain are as follows: (NCBI, 2006)"

Abstract
This paper describes the process by which Internet search engines, such as "Google" and "Yahoo", search and retrieve information requested by users. The paper explains that the process works on the basis of created indexes and then explains the four elements of the indexing system, which are known as a document processor, query processor, search and matching function, and ranking ability.
From the Paper
"The document processor comprises a preparing, processing and inputting function when a search is conducted (Liddy, 2001). Several functions are inherent in this process, including normalizing the document stream, breaking it into retrievable units, metatagging subdocument pieces, identifying indexable elements, etc. The first three functions are known as pre-processing, and the main aim is standardization of multiple formats."

Abstract
In recent years, medicine has been so greatly affected by technological advances that it has gone beyond therapy and towards the limits of our imagination. Unlike a few years ago, when conceiving a baby girl or a baby boy was a matter of chance, today?s prospective parents can choose to alter the genetic make-up of their children in order to enhance their offspring's well-being in the future. This paper shows, however, that it is not clear if modern society is ready to face the consequences of genetic engineering. On one hand, scientists agree that, from a medical standpoint, genetic technologies do, in fact, hold promising potential. The paper shows that, on the other hand, genetic engineering focused on improvement of the human species involves profound ethical and political risks that are to be taken into serious consideration. The paper argues that not until we become fully aware of the issues surrounding genetic technologies should we pursue the illusion of creating a ?perfect baby? and intrude upon our children?s lives by intervening with their genes.
From the Paper
"What does modern germline engineering have to do with eugenics of the past? Obviously, contemporary genetic technologies are nowhere near encouraging or discouraging certain groups of people from reproduction. However, the science seems to be turning away from its primary purpose of bringing human beings to life free of diseases towards enhancing otherwise normal human beings. This trend looks like a resurrection of eugenics at a more advanced scientific level. Daniel Wikler confirms that people are clearly worried about genetic engineering moving ?from ?medical? concern for the individual to ?eugenic? ambitions for improving the gene pool in general?(because) this move was accompanied, early this (last) century, by great wrongs, harms justified by the greater good?? (14). Is germline engineering simply a new name for eugenics? "

Abstract
This paper explains the meanings of the terms "hackers", "phreakers", "reverse engineers" and "social engineers" and takes a look at what they mean in terms of computer and technical crimes. The paper describes some of the techniques used by people committing these types of crimes and some of the methods companies are employing to combat the problem.
From the Paper
"When most people think of "hackers" they think of nerdy, pimply-faced teenagers wasting time in their parent's basements-maybe trying to mess with their high school transcript or web site. However, the real world of computer hacking has grown far more complex and widespread. In fact, now the term "hacker" in itself is no longer sufficient to encompass all of the very different "types" of computer code criminals there are in the "underground world" of technology. Instead, we now have specialized terms in addition to "Hacker," like "Phreaker," Reverse Engineer," and "Social Engineer," to name a few. But what exactly does each of these do?"

Abstract
Since its beginning, search engines have quickly moved from being used by high end researchers to very young students. This paper discusses how they are becoming an increasingly popular form of sourcing information. It discusses the advantages and argues that while the benefits of using search engines are paramount, an important question to ask is it being effectively and fruitfully used. Therefore, since students are the dominant users of information, they should be properly guided and educated regarding its uses. While search engine could be disadvantageous in certain areas and could mislead users, the advantages are numerous. It concludes that the use of search engines definitely have been a milestone in the history of education.
From the Paper
"The accelerated growth of the World Wide Web has turned the Internet into a huge and immense information storehouse (Brown, 1997). The web has become an incredible resource for almost every kind of information need. For many people doing research or finding an answer to a question simply involves going to a web search engine. Search engines have become the fundamental part of information seeking on the Internet."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, when typing the words "breast cancer" into the Google internet search engine, there were over 21,000,000 web addresses offering practical information and advice, pushing agendas, selling a product and still others are well-meaning but misinformed, all of which must be overwhelming for someone who is already distraught as a result of a cancer diagnosis. The author points out that, fortunately, the first web site that comes up is BreastCancer.org, an easy-to-navigate site packed with information on risk, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and life-after treatment. The paper relates that there are also sites that offer only false claims, which at the worst can con a patient out of his or her money by offering dubious cures and promises too good to be true.
From the Paper
"Also high on the top of the Google list are the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Both of these sites are partially there to raise funds, but they do offer some useful information. The National Breast Cancer Foundation, for instance, provides early warning signs of breast cancer and prints updates from "JAMA" on topics such as hormone replacement therapy. The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation site includes message boards where cancer survivors can tell their own stories and request feedback from other survivors. It also offers extensive information on treatment."

Abstract
This paper argues whether rotten.com, a website which portrays pictures of people?s faces blown up by a shotgun, brains scattered on a street and a horrible nudity scene should be allowed access by all on the web. It discusses the negative criticism that rotten.com recieves, as well as it's few positive virtues. It concludes by stating that due to the first amendment, freedom of speech, the website has a right to exist and it is solely the responsibility of parents and teachers to prevent children from accessing it.
From the Paper
"Another picture of a motorcycle accident shows a man laying face down and his scalp torn open with his brain scattered on the floor. These pictures might be too gory to be shown on the Internet. People might say, ?Why must they post these pictures on rotten.com?? These pictures are posted up for many reasons. One, it shows what can happen if a person does not wear a helmet. After viewing pictures of a man with no face and brains scattered on the street it might convince viewers to wear a helmet so it would not happen to them. This is an example of how it makes people more sensitive to life rather less sensitive."

From the Paper
"While the aim of IP rights to protect and aid commercial exploitation and innovation remains constant, the means by which they are expressed are constantly adapting to technological developments on the Internet. As a result, difficult issues are raised by the vast availability of IP on the Internet. For example, the ease of copying and distribution of copies and the anonymity offered to this practice conflicts with the user expectation that information downloaded on the Internet should be free of charge."
