Abstract
The paper shows how hair science is a direct result of commercial interest in the industry, and its important role in economics and the social world, which has fostered its profound development over the last century. The hair care industry is a multi-million dollar business with serious economic, technological, social, and fashion attributes. Hair styles have changed dramatically, serving as part of the socio-cultural process of identity construction, gender relations, and political expression. Likewise, they have been as influenced by the social constructions they nurture. The paper examines the last half of the century which has witnessed the most development in hair science, with technical advancement evident in the at-home focus of many products, the introduction of chemical understandings to hair care, and the infrastructural focus on speed and results that has characterized the digital revolution.

From the Paper
"At the dawn of the century, the start of the 1900s ushered out the very end of the Victorian era. Known most for its political and revolutionary socio-cultural transformations, the Victorian era was also one of excess, superficial concentration, and popular culture. Hair was an integral part of the culture. "While women's hair, particularly when it is golden, has always been a Western preoccupation, for the Victorians it became an obsession." This infatuation with hair was neither a passing fad nor just an aesthetic attention, but it was a mechanism of societal imagery, assertion of gender norms, and the greater product of cultural symbols."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that career and technical education (CTE) is traditionally identified as an academic track for students who are not seeking to engage in post-secondary studies. The writer points out that CTE is delivered to students both within the secondary setting and within programs and institutions that are designed to bring CTE directly to the student. However, integration of CTE into the curriculum has the potential to improve the quality of education for students who are planning to go to college as well as those who are not. The writer maintains that this is increasingly important in scenarios in which academic accountability and high standards of educational performance are critical components for a student seeking to enter into advanced education. This paper provides a brief review of the literature on these topics.
Outline:
Career and Technical Education for All Students
Accountability and the Need for Increased Learning
From the Paper
"This creates an educational environment in which the student is likely to avoid pleasurable coursework out of practicality; the arts and courses that have been identified as irrelevant to the student's core academic portfolio no longer have value. CTE coursework, however, can be integrated into the core portfolio as practical work experience, application of learned studies, or improved development in other areas that are not directly correlated to academic performance. This enables the student to develop a more well-rounded sense of self, a critical component that can set the college graduate apart in an era where admission transcripts from the college-bound student are remarkably similar."

Abstract
This paper examines how current teaching methods in technical writing must change to meet business and industry demand for quality foreign writers and how the role of technical writing instructors rarely is thought of as second language instructors, but with more people coming to the United States, they cannot escape becoming a second language instructor as well. It looks at the different teaching materials and resources that need to be designed to meet these changing needs and different approaches to teaching.

Introduction
Definition of Technical Reading and Writing
Significance and Relation to Foreign Language
Acculturation Model

From the Paper
"With technical writing, a thought does not begin or end with each paragraph as it does with other types of writing. This is what confuses international students, because they learn the rule of paragraph construction?each paragraph must begin and end a complete thought. This is not true of technical writing, which may take several paragraphs to convey a complete thought. An example of this may be when a particular idea is introduced and the explanations take more than just one paragraph."

Technical Analysis in Finance, 2005.
An overview of the concept of market analysis, using technical analysis techniques.
1,683 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 12 sources, APA, £ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at technical analysis, a method to forecast price movements and market trends, by analyzing charts of the past market action, which consider the account price of instruments, volume of trading and, should it be applicable, the open interest in the instruments.
Outline
Technical Analysis
Qualitative Analysis
Fundamental Analysis
Technical Analysis Versus Fundamental Analysis
From the Paper
"Hence technical analysis concentrates on the study of the market prices themselves rather than an evaluation of those factors directly. This method requires a detailed study of, besides other things the actual daily, weekly and monthly price changes and is expected to give the most effective means to capitalize on the future direction of price movements. These strategies most often use a set of mathematical measurements and calculations to keep track of the market activity. Buy and sell decisions are then made on the basis of the output generated by the charts, manual calculations, computers or all of them put together."

Technical Writing, 2006.
Examines several professional technical writing styles.

Abstract
Technical writing is not limited in any way, shape or form to any specific field of inquiry, nor does it devote itself to any specific formats or specific styles. The paper shows that in today's highly specialized world of technology, one finds the term technical writing applied to every field of endeavor. At the same time some technical writers devote their entire careers to writing for a contemporaneous and very specific audience, while other devote their time to the far less specific audience of the general public. The paper shows that either avenue has many uses.
From the Paper
"Another article researched in the general area of Computer Technology is the interesting article written by Gary Conroy, a technical content writer for About.com. In the article, and in layman's terms, Conroy compares a new software product, "Trellix 2.0" to its competitors in the field. "Trellix 2.0" is basically a word processing software package intended for use by IT business users desiring better control over HTML content rather than coding and site control. His analysis of the product is clear, concise and conclusive as he makes his points economically worded."

Abstract
This paper describes and defines these two acts and compares their various advantages. STWOA is defined on focusing helping students' transition from the school environment to the workplace, shifting toward a community-connected learning approach in which the members of the community have become teachers and mentors to the local students. Technical preparation is explained as a series of practical programs in the field of construction and other technical fields whereby the student joins an apprentice program after high-school.
From the Paper
"There is a long series of pieces of legislation dealing with job training for individuals in economically depressed areas or with exceptional circumstances keeping them in poverty. This began with the Adams Act of 1906, followed by the Morrill Act of 1907 which created land-grant colleges. The Smith Hughes Act of 1917, or Vocational Act of 1917, dealt with the need for vocational training and the creation of national preparedness through education. Woodrow Wilson supported this specifically because he saw the approach of war and wished to create a citizenry that was prepared to deal with both the domestic and international ramifications of that (Major Legislation 1900-1982, 2000)."

Outline:
Introduction
Educational Advancements and Research on the Internet
e-Commerce & e-Business
Computer-assisted Manufacturing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Internet has had the most profound affect on education and research capabilities, almost to a point previously thought unimaginable. Students are now able to attend courses online, and take tests online in real-time. A vast amount of research information is also available through the Internet, making research tasks easier and more organized. This has improved the way of life for American students because although higher education tends to be a part of student's lives, in many cases college attendance is not the core activity in their lives. For these students, college must compete with employment and family obligations. Distance learning and increasingly sophisticated technology, such as online courses, have changed the possibilities for engaging in higher education and the nature of the educational experience. The traditional four or five year full-time program at a residential college is no longer the most frequent course of obtaining a college education. Recent research also indicates that the sources of influence on students' learning are as varied and interconnected as are the ways in which students learn. Current research indicates that students' out-of-class experiences promote critical thinking skills independent of their classroom experiences."

Problem 4
Summary
From the Paper
"At the center of any Technical Support Divisions' role in any organization is the need to be a responsive resource to its internal and external customers. The effectiveness of any technical support division is directly linked to its ability over time to learn about which solutions work and why, how the organizations' products function in a variety of environments and under a wide variety of conditions, and most critical for a high tech and software company, what the dependences are with other system components and elements. The extent to which a product or service can function in conjunction with other system components in the case of a high tech manufacturer, or in a variety of conditions and under specific stress loads as is the case with an auto manufacturer, all hinges on the ability of technical support divisions' ability to constantly learn and catalog what works and what doesn't for the products and services supported."

"Technical manuals are one of aircraft mechanics? vital tools. An aircraft is a composition of thousands of assembly parts. Its maintenance depends on referencing to thousands of technical manuals that are critically kept for future checks and consultations in cases of aircraft repair or diagnosis. One study indicates that an F-18 Fighter, for instance, consists of 30,000 pages of documentations whose printed documents consume a storage space of 68 cubic feet. With the advent of IETM, such pages of documentation could only take a CD-ROM to store exactly all the information and a few seconds of time to retrieve them. Today, IETM has been the preferred scheme in technical assessment and repair of complex machineries. This is due to the fact that IETM offers more advantages than the traditional scheme of paper-based technical manuals."

This study determines the skills and competencies required by the trainer in order to effectively deliver information. Included are diagrams and graphs to explain the material analyzed.
From the Paper
"The role of a technical trainer carries a heavy weight in today?s workplace. With the ever-changing pace of today?s technology, there must be a way to provide guidance and support to these trainers. Research suggests that technical training contains a range of positive and negative characteristics. ?Teaching via the Internet can be categorized as either institutional, instructional, technical, or personal, and the specific reservation about employing this technology may be closely related to the type and degree of technological use.? (Piotrowski & Vodanovich, 2000, p.48)."
