From the Paper
"Repairing potholes is a complex problem, particularly if one attempts repairs in a time of high levels of precipitation and extreme temperature fluctuations, as in the Spring. Today there exist materials and technologies that permit effective solutions to potholes that need not wait until summer (Kuennen 2004). However, as will be seen, these solutions come with higher costs. Solutions will be determined by the expected lifespan of the road surface.
"If the City of Markham intends to reconstruct the pavement of the section of Steeles Avenue East in question within a span of, say, three years, then a short-term patch using hot-mix asphalt may be the preferable solution. In this regard, as specialists in the field of pavement and pothole patching observe: "You have to price your options to the length of life that you want for the patch" (Kuennen 2004, p.32)."

Abstract
This paper looks at technical analysis, a method to forecast price movements and market trends, by analyzing charts of the past market action, which consider the account price of instruments, volume of trading and, should it be applicable, the open interest in the instruments.
Outline
Technical Analysis
Qualitative Analysis
Fundamental Analysis
Technical Analysis Versus Fundamental Analysis
From the Paper
"Hence technical analysis concentrates on the study of the market prices themselves rather than an evaluation of those factors directly. This method requires a detailed study of, besides other things the actual daily, weekly and monthly price changes and is expected to give the most effective means to capitalize on the future direction of price movements. These strategies most often use a set of mathematical measurements and calculations to keep track of the market activity. Buy and sell decisions are then made on the basis of the output generated by the charts, manual calculations, computers or all of them put together."

Abstract
This paper examines how current teaching methods in technical writing must change to meet business and industry demand for quality foreign writers and how the role of technical writing instructors rarely is thought of as second language instructors, but with more people coming to the United States, they cannot escape becoming a second language instructor as well. It looks at the different teaching materials and resources that need to be designed to meet these changing needs and different approaches to teaching.

From the Paper
"With technical writing, a thought does not begin or end with each paragraph as it does with other types of writing. This is what confuses international students, because they learn the rule of paragraph construction?each paragraph must begin and end a complete thought. This is not true of technical writing, which may take several paragraphs to convey a complete thought. An example of this may be when a particular idea is introduced and the explanations take more than just one paragraph."

Technical Writing, 2006.
Examines several professional technical writing styles.

Abstract
Technical writing is not limited in any way, shape or form to any specific field of inquiry, nor does it devote itself to any specific formats or specific styles. The paper shows that in today's highly specialized world of technology, one finds the term technical writing applied to every field of endeavor. At the same time some technical writers devote their entire careers to writing for a contemporaneous and very specific audience, while other devote their time to the far less specific audience of the general public. The paper shows that either avenue has many uses.
From the Paper
"Another article researched in the general area of Computer Technology is the interesting article written by Gary Conroy, a technical content writer for About.com. In the article, and in layman's terms, Conroy compares a new software product, "Trellix 2.0" to its competitors in the field. "Trellix 2.0" is basically a word processing software package intended for use by IT business users desiring better control over HTML content rather than coding and site control. His analysis of the product is clear, concise and conclusive as he makes his points economically worded."

Career and Technical Education, 2007.
This paper discusses career and technical education and looks at relevant literature on the subject.

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that career and technical education (CTE) is traditionally identified as an academic track for students who are not seeking to engage in post-secondary studies. The writer points out that CTE is delivered to students both within the secondary setting and within programs and institutions that are designed to bring CTE directly to the student. However, integration of CTE into the curriculum has the potential to improve the quality of education for students who are planning to go to college as well as those who are not. The writer maintains that this is increasingly important in scenarios in which academic accountability and high standards of educational performance are critical components for a student seeking to enter into advanced education. This paper provides a brief review of the literature on these topics.
Outline:
Career and Technical Education for All Students
Accountability and the Need for Increased Learning
From the Paper
"This creates an educational environment in which the student is likely to avoid pleasurable coursework out of practicality; the arts and courses that have been identified as irrelevant to the student's core academic portfolio no longer have value. CTE coursework, however, can be integrated into the core portfolio as practical work experience, application of learned studies, or improved development in other areas that are not directly correlated to academic performance. This enables the student to develop a more well-rounded sense of self, a critical component that can set the college graduate apart in an era where admission transcripts from the college-bound student are remarkably similar."

"Technical Preparation" and "School To Work", 2002.
This paper compares the "Technical Preparation" program and "School to Work Opportunities Act" (STWOA) - both designed to help high school student integrate better into the job market upon graduation.
1,675 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»

Abstract
This paper describes and defines these two acts and compares their various advantages. STWOA is defined on focusing helping students' transition from the school environment to the workplace, shifting toward a community-connected learning approach in which the members of the community have become teachers and mentors to the local students. Technical preparation is explained as a series of practical programs in the field of construction and other technical fields whereby the student joins an apprentice program after high-school.
From the Paper
"There is a long series of pieces of legislation dealing with job training for individuals in economically depressed areas or with exceptional circumstances keeping them in poverty. This began with the Adams Act of 1906, followed by the Morrill Act of 1907 which created land-grant colleges. The Smith Hughes Act of 1917, or Vocational Act of 1917, dealt with the need for vocational training and the creation of national preparedness through education. Woodrow Wilson supported this specifically because he saw the approach of war and wished to create a citizenry that was prepared to deal with both the domestic and international ramifications of that (Major Legislation 1900-1982, 2000)."

Problem 1
Problem 2
Problem 3
Problem 4
Summary
From the Paper
"At the center of any Technical Support Divisions' role in any organization is the need to be a responsive resource to its internal and external customers. The effectiveness of any technical support division is directly linked to its ability over time to learn about which solutions work and why, how the organizations' products function in a variety of environments and under a wide variety of conditions, and most critical for a high tech and software company, what the dependences are with other system components and elements. The extent to which a product or service can function in conjunction with other system components in the case of a high tech manufacturer, or in a variety of conditions and under specific stress loads as is the case with an auto manufacturer, all hinges on the ability of technical support divisions' ability to constantly learn and catalog what works and what doesn't for the products and services supported."

Abstract
An examination of the needs and challenges of the technical trainer when designing and delivering instruction through the use of technology, specifically through critical incident questioning. This study determines the skills and competencies required by the trainer in order to effectively deliver information. Included are diagrams and graphs to explain the material analyzed.
From the Paper
"The role of a technical trainer carries a heavy weight in today?s workplace. With the ever-changing pace of today?s technology, there must be a way to provide guidance and support to these trainers. Research suggests that technical training contains a range of positive and negative characteristics. ?Teaching via the Internet can be categorized as either institutional, instructional, technical, or personal, and the specific reservation about employing this technology may be closely related to the type and degree of technological use.? (Piotrowski & Vodanovich, 2000, p.48)."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the significance of liberal education and debates whether or not it adds value to a person with a technical career. It is more important to understand what liberal education offers, because the importance of this field of education lies in the role that it plays in the development of mind. Liberal education is not intended to open professional doors for someone; instead its main purpose is to enrich the mind and allow students to choose from a vast range of exciting opportunities.

From the Paper
"Technical manuals are one of aircraft mechanics? vital tools. An aircraft is a composition of thousands of assembly parts. Its maintenance depends on referencing to thousands of technical manuals that are critically kept for future checks and consultations in cases of aircraft repair or diagnosis. One study indicates that an F-18 Fighter, for instance, consists of 30,000 pages of documentations whose printed documents consume a storage space of 68 cubic feet. With the advent of IETM, such pages of documentation could only take a CD-ROM to store exactly all the information and a few seconds of time to retrieve them. Today, IETM has been the preferred scheme in technical assessment and repair of complex machineries. This is due to the fact that IETM offers more advantages than the traditional scheme of paper-based technical manuals."

Abstract
The paper examines plays by Henrick Isben ("A Doll's House") and Garcia Lorca ("The House of Bernarda Alba") who both wrote very dramatic and risque works which challenged the social standards of the time. The paper shows that in order to dramatize and accentuate the themes of "A Doll?s House" and "The House of Bernarda Alba", Isben and Garcia Lorca employed several specialized on-stage technical devices (such as sound and lighting).
From the Paper
"Throughout the history of theater, playwrights have used color to emphasize a point, theme, statement, etc. Isben and Garcia Lorca use the color black to introduce the presence of death and disobedience. In A Doll?s House, Nora Helmer begins to plan the events of a dreadful evening. She fantasizes that her husband, Torvald, will stand by her side when he is made aware her socially unacceptable actions and that she will then refuse to allow him to ruin his own reputation by publicly announcing herself to blame and committing suicide. While plotting the events Nora becomes uneasy of her planned suicide. Nora says to herself, ?Ah! the icy black water - the unfathomable depths - if only it were over!? (Isben 61). The unrealistic black color of the water Nora plans to drown herself in emphasizes the tragic restrictions placed on society and the consequences resulting in ignoring those restrictions. In The House of Bernarda Alba, Garcia Lorca also uses the color black to show the results of disobeying societal restrictions. Towards the conclusion of the play, shortly before Adela commits suicide, the stage directions call for Adela to wear ?a small black scarf? (Garcia Lorca 205). Adela is wearing the black scarf as she walks out to the barn to visit with her engaged lover. The small amount of black adds emphasis to the fact that Adela is driving herself to suicide through her unsuitable actions."

"Olsen (1992) analyzes the way Project Management can be used to control project requirements through the use of software designed especially for that purpose. He says that Project Management is the only discipline that focuses on getting things done and that this has contributed to its success and adoption by a variety of organizations. The need to control project requirements is related to the goals of the project and to the need to avoid problems. Project Management is to be used when building a team working toward a single goal, when you can define exactly what needs to be done, and when you can then manage the interrelated tasks to achieve that goal (pp. 35-38)."
