Abstract
This paper covers the following topics: what are supernovae; the history of the supernovae; supernovae in our Galaxy: how they are formed; nomenclature; how they affect us.
From the Paper
" A supernova is the cataclysmic explosion of a big mass star, which releases a huge quantity of light instantaneously, occurring approximately twice per century. Astronomers have been observing supernovae in our skies since the times of Christian Huygens, Simon Marius, Messier, Brache and Kepler. Fritz Zwicky was the first to use the term supernova to describe lights that were much brighter than any other star or planetary body visible in the sky. "

Abstract
This paper explains why a woman's views that abortion in the early stages of pregnancy is permissible but that the death penalty is never permissible are congruent and consistent from a moral and ethical standpoint.
From the Paper
"Though Abby rejects the application of the death penalty in all instances she does advocate the permissibility of abortion in the early stages. Despite the seeming contradiction of ethics or morals in these views, Abby's views on abortion and the death penalty are more congruent than they might initially appear. This is because abortion is part of a woman's overall reproductive rights guaranteed by law while the death penalty is often applied in a biased manner and represents state-sanctioned homicide..."

Abstract
This paper provides a critical assessment of the 1999 article by Jalaludin, et al., which was published in the Australian and New Zealand Journals of Public Health, entitled ?Risk Factors For Asthma Deaths: A Population-Based Case-Control Study?. It looks at how the objectives of the paper by Jalaludin, et al. were to investigate risk factors for deaths from asthma, using a case-control study design with two control groups and how the study was prompted by a bout of deaths from asthma in New Zealand in 1970 for which the cause was unknown, but suspected to be fenoterol.
From the Paper
"The Mitchell et al. (2002) questionnaire requested information on demographics, age at first diagnosis of asthma, duration of symptoms before diagnosis, self-assessment of severity, symptom frequency, medication use (by broad category and specific names), history of allergy, exposure to asthma triggers, the asthma trigger for the index episode, and feelings of vulnerability (Mitchell et al., 2002). The article under discussion was, again, not so thorough in terms of the rigor of the questionnaire used, and again, any conclusions drawn from such a questionnaire need to be looked at from the point of view of this caveat."

The Origins of Life, 2008.
Looks at the origins of life on earth and the implications for the search for extraterrestrial life.

»

Abstract
This paper explains that the search for life beyond this planet must be built on a solid understanding of how life managed to emerge on Earth. The author examines the development of extraterrestrial theories about the origins of life by beginning with an examination of previous theories of origin. The paper then presents current research and the empirical basis for current theories with implications for the search for extraterrestrial life. The author also offers some possible avenues of future research and examination, which could help refine the understanding of the origins of life in the universe.
From the Paper
"In fact, the presence of a liquid like water seems to be the only major prerequisite for the development of life. Without a liquid, the complex chemical reactions required for the emergence of life are presumed impossible. But, that's not to say that the liquid in question must be water. Many researchers are exploring the possibility of life developing in more unorthodox liquids, such as methane, ammonia, or even sulfuric acid. Life on earth may have simply developed to take advantage of the very abundant liquid water; water's presence may have only been happenstance."

A report on the deaths attributed to the testing, or lack thereof, of one of the most widely used blood thinners, Heparin.
885 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the large number of deaths associated with the blood thinner known as Heparin and attributes this to the drug source being one of Chinese origin. The paper places the blame on the FDA on their shortcomings of not efficiently testing drug sources.
Outline:
Summary of issues presented
Description of parties involved
Potential resolutions
Open questions
From the Paper
"One of the most significant issues with regards to deaths and injuries associated with Heparin is one which involves a blatant oversight on the part of the FDA. The FDA is duty bound to inspect any plant providing ingredients or product that are approved by the FDA. The FDA has admitted that its officials have neglected to inspect, Changzhou SPL, the Chinese plant which provided the heparin utilized by Baxter International, the maker of the heparin in question. The implications of this are such that the failure on the part of the FDA to do its job can be cited for the resulting deaths of what is now estimated to be approximately seventeen ."

The Origins and Specificity of Parasites, 2002.
This paper discusses the origins of life and the role that parasites play in its continuity.
2,750 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 82.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the origins of parasites, their relationship to their host and how they have evolved in tandem with many other organisms. The paper seeks to answer several questions including why parasites live where they do and how the origins of evolution affect different parasites, specifically RNA and what role protozoans play in the life of parasites. The paper also discusses the process of Coevolution and the effect that a parasite's long-term residence has on the body of different species, including humans.
From the Paper
"However, it is once an organism has taken up residence inside another organism, that a second and crucial process comes into play. This is the process of Coevolution. Coevolution is based relatively simply on the fact that Evolution is a non-stop process. All species are continually changing and developing. Genetic mutations, errors in the copying of DNA and RNA, lead to minute, or even at times, dramatic changes that might be either beneficial or maladaptive. In the normal course of things the maladaptive forms will die out, while the successful adaptations will survive as a result of those organisms that possess them living on to reproduce. The same process of evolution is at work both in host and parasite. As the host itself changes, the environment inside it changes as well. Subtle differences in conditions might mean death a microorganism living inside the body of another animal."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book "The River of God - A New History of Christian Origins" by Gregory J. Riley. The paper shows how in the book, Riley tends to focus on the historical aspects of Christian origins that are often ignored by scholars. It shows how it is found that majority of the researchers of Christianity confine their subject matter to the inspiration from the Greek and Roman. They also confuse Rabbinic Judaism with the Judaism of Jesus' times. Prof. Riley however, takes into account Middle Eastern religious history to our search for God.
From the Paper
"He also adds to Greek ideas of Orphism, Pythagoreanism and Plato, by throwing light on the Egyptian and Persian Zoroastrian impact on the progress of Christian concepts of afterlife. Riley highlights the role of Persian Zoroastrianism to make us understand the concept of Satan and God. He includes an in-depth account of how the ancient religious models of God from the East and West including Greek science added to our understanding of our body and soul and the creation of the doctrine of the Trinity in the fourth century. The River of God cannot be taken as a generalized synopsis of world religions because it concentrates on the development of Christianity from so many different religions. Prof. Riley writes on the development of Christianity from a wider perspective. Some scholars will have trivial objection on some of the details and generalizations, but one thing that can be concluded on this book ?The River of God? is that it?s a very good resource for strengthening our understanding of God."

Abstract
This historiography paper contrasts the opinions of four historians on the topic of the origins of the Renaissance in Europe. It divides the historians into two camps, those who favor periodization and those who perceive continuity. It looks at how some historians have classified the Italian Renaissance, originating in the fifteenth century, as unique since it is believed to be the birth of the modern state while other historians argue that the Italian Renaissance is simply a continuation of the Middle Ages, since characteristics associated with it can be found in earlier centuries. The historians studied are Jacob Burkhardt, Erwin Panofsky, Johan Huizinga and Charles Homer Haskins.
From the Paper
"Historians favouring periodization, like Burckhardt, argue the Renaissance was, at least in part, the result of the dynamic political structure emerging, occurring primarily in Italy, whereas those believing in continuity from the medieval period, like Haskins, tend to maintain that many states were experiencing a rise in bureaucracy, but did not embark upon large scale cultural revolutions. In Burckhardt?s opinion the feudalism of medieval France, Spain and England naturally evolved into a monarchy, and that in Germany feudal lords continued to maintain unity in the empire, but Italy was different in that the remnants of feudalism were almost gone."

"The origins of World War I This essay is an analysis of the debate over the origins of the First World War. Three historians have used different way to approach the question of who was guilty for the beginning of World War I (WWI). All three use arguments and put forward evidence to support their conclusions. This essay examines their approaches, arguments and conclusions and assesses their claims. The first historian, Fischer argues that no European nation is free of some responsibility for this war, but that Germany gets by far the greatest share of blame. "

Origins and Significance of Hyperbolic Geometry, 2008.
An analysis of the origins and importance of hyperbolic (non-Euclidean) geometry.
1,279 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 43.95

Abstract
This paper examines the origins and significance of hyperbolic geometry. Specifically,it briefly discusses the men who conceived of it, as well as how hyperbolic geometry differs from Euclidean geometry. Finally, and most importantly, the paper looks at the significance of hyperbolic geometry when it comes to exploring the universe around us.
From the Paper
"Delving deeper, the contemporary significance of non-Euclidean geometry grows more and more unavoidable - even to those disinclined to give it its "due". For one thing, it is well-known that hyperbolic geometry has shed some light on the immersion and curvature of spaces. More importantly, Einstein's theory of relativity is, at least in part, indebted to non-Euclidean geometry - though it is admittedly not clear from the available literature the precise extent to which hyperbolic geometry made his revolutionary findings vis-a-vis relativity possible. In any event, this writer - drawing upon course work completed in previous introductory classes that dealt with geometry and its relationship to modern cosmology - would be remiss if he did not also point out the fact that the "empty" regions in outer space where no matter exists can really only be described adequately using a hyperbolic model. In effect, understanding the Hubble Constant involves understanding and appreciating non-Euclidean, hyperbolic geometry."

Abstract
The mechanical clock is one of the most common technologies in the Western world. The fact that the mechanical clock is so common means that many people have a difficult time believing that there have been periods of time in which the mechanical clock did not exist. In this bibliographic essay the origins of the mechanical clock are examined. The paper demonstrates that the mechanical clock did not simply spring into existence as a result of a single innovation. Instead the mechanical clock resulted from a number of technological and social developments.
