Abstract
This paper explains string theory, which has been put forth by physicists in an effort to develop a theory of gravity that can be incorporated into the quantum understanding of nature. The paper explains that string theory hypothesizes that classical point particles are actually infinitesimally small lines or, perhaps, loops and that the theory supports the concept that all quantum particles, including the messenger particle of gravity, or graviton, are components of a single, master superfield.
From the Paper
"Generally speaking, considering the enormous amount of matter that was concentrated in a tiny space after the Big Bang, the setting for unification is contained by almost unbelievable energy levels. Efforts to achieve this "mathematically" have been reasonably successful and are termed Grand Unified Theories, or GUT. So far, physicists have managed to unify the electromagnetic, weak, and strong interactions into one formalism."

Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of Grand Unified Theory--or GUT--the major accomplishments of the theory to date, as well as the most promising directions for the future. Foremost among these is the emergence of string theory or superstring theory in physics: it may provide the tools necessary to ultimately link the major branches of physics under the overarching cosmological model of the universe.

Abstract
This paper expounds the "Theory of Everything," starting with the pioneering theories of Newton's "Laws of Motion" and Einstein's "General Theory of Relativity," developing right through to the cutting-edge "string theory" research currently being conducted around the world today. It shows the importance of fields of study as seemingly diverse as calculus, differential geometry, electromagnetism, particle physics and quantum mechanics to the development of a "Theory of Everything".
From the Paper
"However, there is a fundamental discord between Einstein's "Theory of General Relativity" and quantum mechanics. Einstein saw the universe in four dimensions (the three dimensions of space plus time). The gravitational force that binds matter to the earth stems from this space-time continuum. Since quantum mechanic's subatomic particles only exist theoretically, they cannot be located in space-time and their motion can only be hypothesized. Thus, we have two theories that work individually but not together. There are also many unanswered questions. Relativity cannot tell us how the big bang created the universe or what black holes consist of. Similarly, quantum theory is not able to make order or sense of the assortment of miniscule matter it describes."

Abstract
This paper expounds the "Theory of Everything," starting with the pioneering theories of Newton's "Laws of Motion" and Einstein's "General Theory of Relativity," developing right through to the cutting-edge "string theory" research currently being conducted around the world today. It shows the importance of fields of study as seemingly diverse as calculus, differential geometry, electromagnetism, particle physics and quantum mechanics to the development of a "Theory of Everything". It also demonstrates how those with access to this theory can use the knowledge as power for anything, such as understanding stock markets using the premise that the stock market moving up over time means that these are not random movements and therefore should be explainable.
From the Paper
"Stock markets exist over time and space (the geographical markets) that we are able to quantify and understand to a degree. Therefore, as with Einstein, we are fairly comfortable with the stock market in its familiar four dimensions. We have become accustomed to inflation; the rising of prices of goods rise over time and this is obviously a major reason for at least part of the upward rise of share prices. However, what happens when we explore the smaller dimensions - like the six unknown dimensions string theorists grapple with? Like the string theorists who know that subatomic matter exists but can't explain or predict its behavior, we often know what influences the stock market but are usually unable to predict it."

Abstract
This paper explains that Beethoven studied under Joseph Haydn, the "father of the string quartet," who inspired Beethoven's first six string quartets, including Opus 18/6, written for two violins, a viola, and a cello. The author points out that, because of his troubled personal life, his music often depicts a theme of struggle followed by triumph as is evident in Beethoven's first six string quartets, which were composed before he went deaf. The paper describes each of the four distinct movements of String Quartet Number 6, Opus 18/6: 1. Allegro con brio; 2. Adagio ma non troppo; 3. Scherzo: Allegro; and 4. La Malincona Adagio-Allegretto quasi Allegro. A listening chart for the First Movement is included.
From the Paper
"Beethoven began composing string quartets in his so-called "early period," the time of his musical career in which he was exploring different styles and primarily emulating his teacher Joseph Haydn. Moreover, Beethoven's "early period" is also the time before he began to go deaf, around age 30. When Beethoven began losing his hearing, his impending deafness led the musician into deep mental depression. His social life deteriorated and he became suicidal as well. Music written during Beethoven's "middle period" is characteristically grand, expressing "heroism and struggle.""

The String Quartet, 2001.
Development; musical disputes. Vision & influence of composer/condoctor Louis Spohr.

From the Paper
"Introduction
The development of the string quartet did not take place without controversy. In the nineteenth century, a dispute erupted as to the direction the string quartet should take, a dispute bound with different ideas about performance, the relationship of performance to composition, and the way certain instruments should be used in the quartet as in other types of composition. Composer and conductor Louis Spohr advocated virtuoso violin play in the quartet, while composers such as Schumann and Mendelssohn saw the string quartet not as a collection of pieces with differing performance requirements but as a cohesive whole, with the unity of the four instruments emphasized over any one instrument emerging even for only one movement or more."

Abstract
This paper introduces and explains several theories in physics, such as the M theory, string theory, quantum mechanics, and general relativity theory. It presents them in layman's terms and explains how these theories all work (or don't work) together.
From the Paper
"Quantum mechanics or the quantum field theory has worked well to describe the known behaviors and properties of particles of the Planck length or very small particles. General Relativity works with large objects like planets and galaxies. However the theories only works when one of the two theories can be neglected. General relativity has explained a lot about the universe, the evolution of stars, the orbits of planets, and best-known theory "the Big Bang". It also shows how black holes and gravitational forces work. However, the General relativity theory only works on its own and when we think of the universe in traditional matter because of the fact that quantum mechanics dose not comply the description of General Relativity. The two work well to explain the theories they were set up to explain however the do not work together. String theory was then conceived to explain the how Quantum Mechanics, the really small stuff, and General Relativity, the really large stuff, works together."

Abstract
The paper explains how Kathleen Stassen Berger, in her book "The Developing Person Through the Life Span", considers how each stage leads to the next and how biological and sociological causes affect the psychological development of any individual. The writer considers events from her own life in light of Berger's theories in order to determine the ways in which her own personal development has been a result of a string of causes and effects throughout the stages of her life. The writer looks at her infancy and preschool years, school years and adolescence and finally, adulthood.
From the Paper
"In her book "The Developing Person Through the Life Span," Kathleen Stassen Berger outlines the stages of growth from infancy to adulthood and discusses the psychological impacts of each stage. She shows how each stage leads to the next and considers how both biological and sociological effect the psychological development of any individual. Using a concept called the "butterfly effect", she shows how small and seemingly unimportant developments in any single stage can compound through successive stages to result in specific types of personality development. (The "butterfly effect" is borrowed from the concept in environmental science in which it is said that when a butterfly beats its wings in one part of the world, a storm can occur in another part of world. The interconnectedness of events is the key concept here.)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the difficult life history of Dimitri and the publications of his vast contributions to the music world. The author also gives a detailed description of his piano and trumpet concerto with strings, No. 1, Opus 35 providing its four distinct movements Movement I Allegretto, allegro vivace, Lento II, III Moderato and lastly Allegro con brio.
From the Paper
"Shostakovich had a difficult adolescence, his sister Maria died at the age of seven, when he was 14. A year later in 1921, due to the privations of World War I and the Russian Revolution, he began to suffer from malnutrition. At the age of 17, he completed his courses and began to sketch his first symphony. He was unable to continue due to malnutrition and tuberculosis. While recovering in a Crimean sanitarium, Dimitri met Tanya Glivenko, his girlfriend until her marriage in 1929. Shostakovich was forced to go to work as a cinema pianist after his recovery. Despite these set backs, Dimitri continued to compose. Between the ages of 17 and 19, he completed his famous Symphony No. 1 in F minor, Op. 10., and had his Op 5, 10 and 11a accepted for publication. He also graduated from Leningrad conservatorie. By the age of 21, he had premiered his first symphony and completed his 15th major composition."

Two Mozart Minuets, 2002.
This paper compares Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Minuet for String" from his "Quintet in D Major" to his "Minuet No. 6" and gives background information.

Abstract
The author states many music historians believe that Mozart attained his greatest heights as a composer with his string quintets. The paper analyzes the minuet as a musical translation of popular musical dances of the era and compares the two minuets. The paper continues that it is important to recognize that listeners of Mozart today are different from listeners in Mozart's day. The author concludes that, to understand Mozart's Minuets, the listener must explore the roots of the form of the piece and the piece's history.
From the Paper
"Before analyzing the pieces themselves, one must first consider exactly what a minuet is. A minuet is dance in a moderate triple time. It has a light texture. "Some minuets have a cross-rhythm that makes two bars of 3/4 sound like one bar of 3/2 (as in courante). Unlike other dances, it is often in ternary form. It is one of the only Baroque dance forms that survived into the late symphony of the Classical era, besides the trio." From a listener's point of view, this "light" or "sprightly" texture translates into an almost humorous, dancing quality to the music."

Abstract
The following paper examines several issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, such as the Suez Canal crises, the Balfour Declaration, the Yom Kippur War and the Six Day War. The writer discusses the events that lead to the major unresolved issues that remain today in Israel, namely the status of Jerusalem; the future of Israeli settlements; and the rights of Palestine refugees. This paper is written by a pro-Palestinian supporter.
From the Paper
"In 1994, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip and Jericho, ending 27 years of occupation. A Palestinian police force replaced them. In 1995, then a Jewish extremist assassinated Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, who had been involved in the latest peace processes.
In April 1996, Israeli forces bombed Lebanon for 17 days, with Hezbollah retaliating by firing upon populated areas of Northern Israel. Israel also bombed a UN shelter, killing about 100 out of 800 civilians sheltering there. The UN claimed it was intentional. In 1998, the Wye River Memorandum planned Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank but Israel suspended it in 1999 due to internal disagreements on its implementation."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at how the anterior cruciate ligament can be repaired using the hamstring tendon. The paper explains that the surgical procedure can use the tendon alone as a two-string graft or with the gracilis tendon as a four-string graft. Additionally, the paper discusses the problems posed by this procedures such as weakness in the donor leg.
From the Paper
"ACL healing is dependent on an intact synovial lining. For this reason surgical repair is usually necessary. During the evolution of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery, several different sources of grafts have been used. The most commonly used tissues are autologous semitendinous gracilis tendons, central one-third patellar tendons and allograft patellar tendons. The central autologous patellar tendon is considered by many to be the graft of choice but the incidence of knee pain has been reported in a large number of cases and due to technical..."
