Identifiying Three Species of Rails, Rallus Species
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page exercise in converting lists
of facts to readable, continuous prose. This paper uses a field guide's description of three
rails, which are marsh birds native to various areas of the US. The paper incorporates
physical identification features, habitat description and differences in vocalization patterns in
this technical writing exercise. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Impact of Music on Human Neurology/Children
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that explores the impact of music on the neurology of children. The writer explores research that addresses benefits derived from music instruction and also the neurological impact of listening to music. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Imprinting in Animals
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the processes
and results of imprinting in animals. Dictionaries define
imprinting as an “indelibly distinguishing effect or influence.”
As such a statement applies to animals, it is an irreversible
influence. Whether it is the homing “device” or ability of
salmon, the ability of newborn animals of all species to
recognize their parent, or the mating choices of any creature,
what has been imprinted is what serves as one of the strongest
determinants of their behavior. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

In Favor of Stem Cell Research
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper arguing that embryonic stem cell research should be permitted on embryos created in fertility clinics not supported by federal funds. Though we should proceed cautiously and certainly not allow creation of embryos solely for research purposes, neither should we reject out of hand investigating the use of stem cells already available through fertility clinics for the treatment of disease that exists now. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

In Which Environment Does Mold Grow Best?
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper is representative of a typical science fair report that might be submitted with a science fair project. It is written on a middle school level. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Inability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Invade Epithelial Cells
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper
discussing the research investigating possible paths to genetically altering this opportunistic
bacterium so that it is unable to cause disease. The organism is ubiquitous, but rarely
causes disease in healthy individuals. In those with compromised immune systems,
however, it can be quite devastating. The focus of the research here is on genetically
altering the organism's cell membrane so that it is not as readily able to adhere to epithelial
cells, or so that it is not as readily taken up by them. Bibliography lists 10 sources in 20
footnotes.

Insect Adaptations, Disease, and Control
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page overview of the insects, their benefits and adverse impacts to humans. Emphasis is placed on their status as disease vectors. Bibliography lists five sources.
Filename: Insectad.wps
Insight into the Digestive Process
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page overview of the digestive process. The author traces the route a Big Mac would take through out bodies, noting the digestive process, organs, and enzymes that would be involved in its processing. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Invasive Non-Native Plants
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses
non-native, invasive plants and the fact that they have often
damaged more habitat than development. Non-native plants or
invasive weeds follow a growth pattern opposite the native plants
and overcome habitats either before or after the native plants
are in season. They may be harmless and beneficial in their
natural surroundings, but they can totally devastate different
environments. Greater effort must be spent to make individuals
aware of the potential harm and destroy non-native invaders when
they first appear. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Invasive Species
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper which reacts to the article Invading the Pacific: Biological and Cultural Dimensions in Invasive Species in the Pacific Region by James Russell as it involves the historical aspect of invasive species. No additional sources cited.
