The Myth of Frankenstein
[ send me this paper ]
More focused upon scientific issue than upon the classic sci-fi novel, this 4 page research paper refutes Mary Shelley's premise that scientists will some day create life through brain transplants and other methodologies touched upon in her story. Parallels are made between genetics and the 'Power of God' as well as issues concerning the existence of the human soul. Bibliography lists 3 sources which support the writer's thesis that there is more to 'life' than the brain.

Research Proposal
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper proposing a research project designed to discover some of the mechanisms of pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis resulting from the influence of rheumatoid factor. Early research discovered elevated levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in patients seropositive for rheumatoid arthritis, but it was not known if there was any relation between the presence of these IgG substances and the presentation of rheumatoid arthritis. It has since been established that IgG, as well as other dimers of Ig have some primary role in either the development or the advance of the disease, and it is believed that the role has at least some causative effect. The purpose of this proposed research is to attempt to discover what that effect might be. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The Rainforest of the Amazon Basin
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the rainforest, its importance to the world's environment, its diversity of plant and animal life, as well as the struggles it is facing against the destruction and exploitation by humanity.

Low-Voltage Circuit Design
[ send me this paper ]
A 42 page paper discussing basic designs enroute to
devising a project focusing on voice recognition circuitry and control. The intended application is
not ultimately intended to be that used for voice-to-text designs, though it could be. Rather, the
project focus is more that designed as a security measure, such as that ensuring that the user of a
cellular telephone is indeed the subscriber to the cellular service on which that specific telephone's
service is billed. Voice recognition can be seen to be approaching a standard in the future. That
standard seems to be far in the future, but it likely will be attached to natural language and context
sensitivity. In order to be truly useful, it will need to be based on the simplest circuits achievable.
Includes 16 figures, bibliography lists 25 sources.
