coesite’s structure is that of tetrahedrons; stishovite is constructed of octahedrons
with oxygen. Stishovite is the densest known form of silica and also the hardest known
oxide; both begin to degrade in the absence of high pressure. Bibliography lists 8

Earthquakes & The New Madrid Fault : An
8 page research paper that examines the most dangerous geological feature of the North
American heartland. While most Americans think of California whenever the topic of
earthquakes comes up, the residents of New Madrid, Missouri suffered through the worst
series of quakes in the known history of North America during an eight-week period in the
winter of 1811 to 1812. The three principal shocks have been determined to have had a
magnitude of 8.0 or higher. Additionally, ten of the aftershocks reached or exceeded a
magnitude of 6.0, and at least three may have reached 7.0. Scientists now believe that
eyewitness stories of the Mississippi flowing backward, and waterfalls on the Mississippi

discussing the origins and chemical composition of this sedimentary rock used in so many
diverse applications even today. For the soil as well as the sulfur-emitting furnace,
limestone is applied as small particles no larger than good-sized dust particles, often
the result of quarrying activities. Calcium, the primary component of limestone, is our
"miracle mineral" adding stability to buildings, enhancing soil fertility and
strengthening our own human infrastructure. And it still can be as beautiful as the
finely-veined marble with which Michelangelo sculpted. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Limeston.wps
Centrifugal And Coriolis Forces : A 5
page overview of the two forces and their interaction. Centrifugal force is that
fictitious force that imparts a general feeling of weightlessness for astronauts and is
also the force by which washing machines extract excess water from wet clothes. The
Coriolis effect holds that an object which moves in a straight line above the surface of
the Earth (and not parallel to the equator) will appear to curve because the Earth is
turning under it. Together, both are important for space travel. Bibliography lists 4

MuD
Bacteriophage & Operon in Gene Fusion : 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. Mudphage.wps
Genetic Expression in Cancer : A 12
page paper discussing the actions and implications of genes p53 and pRB, and the enzyme
telomerase in the control of cancer. Genes p53 and pRB are known to be tumor suppressor
genes, inhibiting the ability of cancerous cells to thrive. Over half of all cancers
reveal that the p53 gene has either been disabled or has been dismantled at the cellular
level. Telomerase is an enzyme found most abundantly in association with cancerous
conditions, preventing the shortening of chromosomal "endcaps," telomeres, that
happens in normal cell growth and division. The enzyme prevents the shortening of the
telomeres, prolonging the life of the cell. Telomerase provides the best indicator of
cancerous conditions present and is measurable before there are any symptoms at all.

explored as well. Bibliography lists 5+ sources. Invoster.wps
The Advantages Of Bioengineering : 6
pages in length. Despite the throngs of critics who oppose the use of bioengineering in
current endeavors, this scientific strategy has only begun to open doors that have
otherwise never before been accessible. There are myriad possibilities for people's lives
to become enhanced in ways that have not ever existed; researchers have only just applied
the very tip of what technological mastery they have uncovered. The writer discusses how
rapid advances in bioengineering not only represent humanity's ongoing quest for a more
pleasurable existence, but also how it symbolizes the ability to provide where nature
leaves off. Bibliography lists 5 sources. TLCBioEn.wps
The World’s First Test Tube Baby :
A 7 page paper on the test tube baby and how the project has since contributed to the

ethical objections. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Testube.wps
Embryonic Research, Genetic Engineering, &
Cloning : A 8 page exploration of the controversy of embryonic research as it
pertains to genetic engineering and cloning. Presents both positive and negative aspects
of the practice and concludes that we need to determine definition of such terms as
"desirable" and "undesirable" and decide how these definitions fit
into our own ethics and morals. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Embclone.wps
Ethics of Genetic Engineering Through The Eyes
of Aristotle : Aristotle believed that an absolute moral standard was not
possible because morality is determined by behavior and outcome and these are governed by
the individual and the choices made by that individual. The individual is by definition
unique, which foregoes that each choice and outcome is unique. The concept of Plato's
"good" is seen in terms of the action and the result of the action, rather than
a predetermined, 'a priori', standard. Inasmuch as individuals dwell within a society,
there exists an ethical component to community behavior and is grounded on the
"purpose" of the behavior: the highest form of community behavior being for the
purpose of the 'good' of man. This 4 page paper examines the issue of genetic engineering
from the view presented by Aristotle in the Nicomachean Ethics. Bibliography lists 2
sources. Genengin.wps
Cloning : 6 pages. The author discusses
the cloning of humans and the possible effects which could occur, if humans were cloned.
Bibliography lists 5 sources. Clissu.wps
Human Cloning / Why It Is Beneficial : 5
pages in length. The concept of human cloning is, perhaps, the most controversial topic of
the twentieth century. With steadfast opinions on both sides of the issue, the idea of
creating scientifically produced people has some of the population up in arms with such
sacrilege, while others deem this marvel of modern technology the missing link to what
could help make an ailing human race whole again. The writer takes the position that human
cloning is beneficial by addressing the positive aspects. Bibliography lists 3 sources. Clonben.wps
To Clone or Not to Clone ? A Look at
Biotechnology : This 5 page report briefly examines some of the controversies
raised on the subject of cloning. The body of evidence reported and the practical
application of scientific products supports the value of biotechnology, including cloning.
Among the many reasons to support arguments in favor of cloning is the idea that DNA probe
systems will revolutionize analysis of raw materials, ingredients, and finished products
for the presence of pathogenic and spoilage organisms, bacterial and fungal toxins,
chemical contaminants (i.e., herbicides, pesticides, heavy metals), and biological
contaminants. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Clone.wps
The Ethical Downside of Cloning : A 10
page research paper on the negative aspects of human cloning. The writer details the

present-day social issues surrounding cloning. The writer presents a quoted
"Dolly" technology synopsis, with equal attention given to discussion social
issues in the form of specific comments by every day people, scientists, ethnicists, and
government representatives. The paper proves that current opinion concerning cloning still
resides in the realm of chaos--worldwide. The paper argues that ultimate responsibility to
speak up on the issue is up to individuals. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Clone2.wps
The Ethical Controversy of Cloning : A 4
page paper looking at the very controversial topic of cloning a human being from a
theological and social standpoint. The paper concludes that the issue is really not one of
ethics at all, but of theology, having to do with the nature of the human soul.
Bibliography lists 4 sources. Ethclo.wps

Genetic Drift / Quick Change, Quicker Reversal
: A 10 page paper that argues in support of science's use of genetic drift over
natural selection to make quicker shifts in genetically drifted and naturally selected
traits. The paper works from the viewpoint that genetic drift often leads to dominant gene
traits and, therefore, extinction, whereas natural selection leads to environmental
control by nature and seeks to provide examples throughout history where genetic drift has
also resulted in a quicker change that natural selection. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Genetic.DOC

and statistical data are provided. Bibliography lists 8+ sources. Homogene.wps
Homosexuality Is NOT Genetic / Argument :
A 6 page argumentative paper supporting the theory that recent genetic findings cannot
displace years of documented support for the behavioral determinants of sexual
identification. The writer contends that the many discrepancies in the findings of Hamer
and his colleagues leads scientists, sociologists and psychologists to continue to support
the concept that homosexuality is determined through behavioral choices, not
through genes. Bibliography lists 6 sources. Homosexu.wps
Genetics / Violence : A 7 page
argumentative paper proving that violence is hereditary and unless stopped could lead to
the demise of the human race. The writer relies on the original thesis and research of
Darwin and Mendell, and bases arguments on the genetic discoveries of Han Brunner, et al.
and subsequent modern-day researchers who proved how genes are mutated, have traced the
regeneration of mutated genes, and have created violent species in laboratories based on
the regeneration of mutated genes. Bibliography lists 11 sources. Geneviol.wps

Is Alcoholism a Genetic, Hereditary Disease ? -
Yes ! : A 7 page research paper arguing quite strongly that alcoholism is, in
fact, a hereditary disease linked to our genes. Using the findings of specific studies in
books and journals, the writer debunks the myth that alcohol is a social disease and that
the only familial influences are those related to peer pressure and modeling. Both sides
of the argument are weighed, assessed, and the ultimately conclusion that alcoholism is
hereditary-- is reached. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Alcohere.wps
