Body temperature regulation
[ send me this paper ]
A five page paper which looks at the way in which warm-blooded creatures, especially human beings, utilise complex physiological mechanisms in order to maintain their body temperature within a comparatively narrow optimum range. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Brain Research and its Applicability to Learning
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the latest research on the brain and how this research applies to
learning. Notes the findings of three authors in particular who are instrumental in summarizing the scientific information into a format
which is useful to educators. These authors are Eric Jensen, Marian Diamond, and Robert Sylwester. Emphasizes that learning occurs though
an individual being cognizant of his or her environment and gaining knowledge from that environment. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Canine Hip Dysplasia
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Canine hip dysplasia is a condition that can strike any dog but is significantly more prevalent in a handful of breeds, such as the golden retriever, German shepherds, Labradors and Rottweilers. Dogs afflicted with the genetically-induced joint problem experience excruciating pain in their hind end as the hip sockets become deformed and improperly aligned. The writer discusses etiology and treatment of canine hip dysplasia. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Canine Oral Spirochetes
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of canine oral spirochetes, concentrating on Treponema denticola, Treponemapectinovorum, and Treponema maltophilum. Notes that although oral microflora cannot be held solely responsible for the presence or absence of periodontal disease and associated conditions, thesemicroflora do manifest differently in healthy verses diseased tissue. This observation is true both in the species which are present and in what concentrations they are present. Suggests laboratory methodologyfor qualifying and quantifying their presence, as well as linking thatpresence to periodontal disease. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Cell Structure
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of cellular structure. Defines a cell and distinguishes between plant and animal cells. List the major cellular components and describes their structure and function. Includes a Roman Numeral outline. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Chameleons: Phylogeny, Taxonomy, and Ecology
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the group of animals we know as chameleons. The author provides a specific phylogenetic classification of these animals from Kingdom to Species, noting the similarities in evolutionary pattern with other vertebrates and distinguishing the chameleon from other lizards on the basis of key taxonomic criteria. A discussion of the ecology of the group as a whole is presented as is a brief notation on the endangered status of one specific example of this group, Chamaeleo belalandaensis. A detailed explanation of how and why the chameleon changes color is included as well.

Circadian Rhythms: Ultimately in Control
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing whether
students who consciously choose early schedules for themselves might perform better than those
waiting until much later in the day to begin their daily studies. The paper uses studies in the
emerging field of chronobiology, which is devoted to the study of the circadian rhythms resident
in all living organisms. There is not yet any empirical evidence linking academic performance to
the circadian cycle, but there is ample evidence that even long-term shift workers adjust only
psychologically, but not physiologically. As the field of chronobiology matures, it is reasonable to
assume that the same link will be found between circadian rhythms and academic performance.
Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Cognitive Neuroscience: The Biology of the Mind
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper provides an overview of nine chapters of the book Cognitive Neuroscience. This paper outlines the principles of each of the chapter and links the perspectives presented to source information on cognitive development. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Depth Perception
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that explores the mechanics of depth perception. The writer outlines out depth perception works and also discusses how depth perception differs from species to species. Bibliography list s 4 sources.

Digestion: Travels of a Ham Sandwich and Glass of Milk, From Mouth to Excretion
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page overview of the digestive system as seen through the digestive processes required in the consumption of a typical meal. Outlines the basic functions of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and large intestine. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Disadvantages of Liposome-Based Anti-Tumor Drug Delivery
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing problems associated with using liposome-based molecules as drug delivery
vehicles for tumor-inhibiting compounds Recombinatory chemistry has given great hope
for highly targeted and specific drugs that will attach to only specific sites on other molecules. The eventual goal is to deliver highly specific drugs to tumors with no side effects other than those directly attributable to the shrinkage and subsequent death of the tumor, but the problems associated with liposome-based delivery systems would seem to indicate that there is another solution waiting to be discovered. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
