An Overview of the Applications of Hydroponics
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the value of hydroponics in the modern world. The author outlines the problems of our modern lifestyle which have necessitated the use of such alternatives in both agriculture and plant research designed to produce plants which qualities which better allow them to fill our need for particular products. Passive forms of hydroponics are distinguished from active hydroponics and an overview of the key features of each approach is provided along with a brief review of the primary nutrients a plant needs to grow and how each nutrient functions in that growth. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Analysis of Research in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
[ send me this paper ]
A 29 page paper discussing current research in LGMD, much of which has moved beyond the realm of theory and elementary discovery into that area that enables researchers to create accurate and workable
syntheses of mechanisms and pathways that exist. Though research is not required to provide definitive answers in order to be considered valid, arrival at those definitive answers is greatly more gratifying for researchers and clinicians, and certainly provides hope for patients. A review of current research and normal function does provide insight into the reasons for researchers' thinly veiled glee over the rapidity of emerging facts that can be translated into clinical results, including the advent of the first clinical trials for gene therapy. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Animals and Earthquakes
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages. An interesting paper reporting
on the connection between animals and earthquakes. Can animals
actually predict earthquakes days before the fact? And if so,
how? There are many reports of animals behaving strangely just
days before a major earthquake which causes many scientists to
believe that the animals can actually predict what is going to
happen. If this is the case, an interesting question is raised:
is there a way we could use animals’ abilities to give us early
warning of earthquakes? Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Anthrax and Biological Warfare
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page overview of the Bacillus
anthracis bacteria and its potential for use in biological warfare. Includes a description of the species and its epidemiology and outlines
current research on the organism, including the recent development of a vaccine. Emphasizes the importance of the identification of one

Antibiotic Resistance
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the growing problem of bacterial resistance to
antibiotics, how is occurs and why it is of such great issue now. Greater awareness in both health
care and agriculture can be of immense benefit in at least slowing the rate at which our antibiotics
are losing their effectiveness. Bacteria have shown themselves to be highly efficient in adapting to
the threat that antibiotics offer. Everyone in health care and agriculture needs to be made aware
of the greater problems that can result from the quick fix. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
