How Can Diagnostic And Pattern-Recognition Abilities Of Expert Systems And Neural Networks Aid Bioinformatics Research And The Development Of New Medicines?
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The extent to which diagnostic and pattern-recognition abilities of expert systems and neural networks aid bioinformatics research and the development of new medicines is both grand and far-reaching. That artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral component of medical advancement speaks to the growing need for machines that can start with a basis of man's knowledge and aptitude and expound upon it with self-learning abilities. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Hydrothermal Vents in the Ocean Floor
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page overview of this recently discovered geologic phenomena. This paper provides a description of hydrothermal vents as well as a detailed overview of their geology and the biology which they drive. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Isolation and Characterization of the Enzyme Alkaline Phosphatase
from E Coli
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. A study of the successful
isolation and characterization of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase
from Escherichia Coli. Because enzymes are almost always
proteins, the main aim of this enzyme purification was to
successfully remove all other proteins present in the enzyme
preparation. Includes introduction, results/discussion,
conclusions and experimental sections.

John Dalton's Contribution to Atomic Theory
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. John Dalton was one of our most important contributors to the development of atomic theory. His development completely altered the theory that was in place at the time he began his work. This paper explains both of those theories and also provides the experimental basis for the new theoretical development of atomic theory. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG)
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page paper provides an overview of LPG. Positive and negative aspects of this type of fuel are discussed. Ways in which LPG are used are duly noted. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
Filename: SA331LPG.rtf
Lithium-Polymer Batteries
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of lithium polymer batteries. Includes a brief history of batteries, and overview of types, lithium batteries, and the role of polymers in lithium batteries. Bibliography lists twenty sources.

Making New Elements / The Artificial Creation Of The Most Fundamental Components Of All Matter
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of the past and present efforts to artificially create elements. Based largely on the September 1998 Scientific American article 'Making New Elements' by Peter Armbruster and Fritz Peter Hessberger. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Filename: Elements.wps
Molecular Mixtures and Cross-Membrane Transport
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page review of “Drug Delivery: Breaching the Membrane”, an article by Joe Alper published in the May 3, 2002 edition of “Science”. Alper’s (2002) research concentrates on the cell membrane and the manner in which cross-membrane transport occurs, specifically the manner in which membrane-bound protein transporters function to allow various nutrients and hormones across. Alper’s paper adds insight to both the structure and function of the cell membrane and its components and how each relates to the molecular structure of the body’s complex mixture of chemicals. No additional sources are listed.

Molecular Modeling: Conformation Analysis and Energy Minimization
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing these two aspects of computational chemistry. The next generation of narrowly-targeted drugs seems to be about to appear over the horizon. Conformation analysis and molecular modeling play increasing roles in new drug research. Conformation is important in that it can change according to its environment; energy levels affect action. Drug developers need to discover the most effective conformation, but they also need to be able to retain that conformation despite conditions external to the molecule. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Includes a Newman projection diagram.

MuD Bacteriophage & Operon in Gene Fusion
[ send me this paper ]
10 page paper. Despite the fact that gene fusion has been with us for years, there is still significant opposition in the popular press to 'genetic engineering.' Myriad agents are used to accomplish delivery of genetic factors to specific gene sites, many of which are written of extensively in the literature. One that is not written of quite as much as the others is the MuD bacteriophage. Despite all the work that has been done in gene fusion and gene mapping, the ultimate foreseeable value lies not in science-fiction tales of cloning, but rather in understanding some of the diseases with which gene fusion could be either alleviated or cured. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
