Abstract
This paper discusses how malaria in Western Kenya, an increasingly serious disease, is responsible for more deaths in the area than HIV/AIDS. The paper reports that the advent and introduction of impregnated mosquito bed netting has raised hopes of a new method of combating malaria. According to the paper, numerous studies attest to the fact that impregnated nets significantly reduce the transmission and infection of malaria in the region; especially among very young children.

Recommendations and Conclusion
From the Paper
"The literature also provides a wide range of studies that show that previous conventional methods of fighting malaria have proven in general to be ineffective. This aspect is concisely outlined in an article entitled, When Disease Resists; Malaria's Toll Rises in Tropical Regions As Effectiveness of Chloroquine Falls Off by David Brown ( 1994. ) This article refers to an aspect that has already been touched on; namely that the malaria parasite has become resistant to many previously effective agents. "...the microorganism that causes malaria had become resistant to chloroquine, the standard medicine used to prevent and treat the disease for the previous 40 years." ( Brown,1994) The study also refers particularly to the Kenyan situation."... researchers in Kenya - where chloroquine has been useless for a decade - reported that more than 25 percent of malaria cases in a recent study were resistant to the two more modern and expensive antimalarial drugs, mefloquine and doxycycline." ( Brown,1994) This again raises the central concern that modern drugs are proving to be less and less effective in the fight against malaria."

Abstract
Mosquitoes are insects that have been around for approximately 30 million years. Mosquitoes can sense carbon dioxide and lactic acid up to 100 feet away. If a person wears light or white clothing, mosquitoes can see him/her and zero in on him/her. Mosquitoes can detect heat. One way to stop mosquitoes is to confuse their chemical receptors.

Abstract
This paper provides a review of the mid-Atlantic bed and breakfast industry through a survey of various bed and breakfast owners and a review of the success of bed and breakfast start-ups in the region. This review includes data on the general employment and unemployment rates in the mid-Atlantic region and a discussion of the reasons for displacement from the manufacturing industry. A review of the pros and cons of entering into a new bed and breakfast establishment, or entering into an established bed and breakfast, are then also presented. A short review of the skills and requirements that are necessary to run a successful bed and breakfast establishment is also presented. Finally, a discussion of the merits of entering into the trade is presented.
From the Paper
"We have also seen, however, through a telephone interview with a high-ranking official at the United States Bed and Breakfast Association, that the number of bed and breakfast establishments in the mid-Atlantic region decreased by over 25% in the previous four years, and that the main reason he could see for the failure of this number of businesses was a failure on the part of the owners to devote themselves, wholly and efficiently, to the setting up and day-to-day running of their bed and breakfast establishment."

What is the .NET Framework?
Technical Overview
Microsoft Intermediate Language
Common Language Runtime
.NET Framework Class Library
Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
Benefits of .NET Framework in Building Object-Oriented Systems
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The common language runtime is the execution engine for the .NET Framework system. The common language runtime is built on top of operating system services. It is responsible for actually executing the application. Specifically, code that targets the runtime and whose execution is managed by the runtime is referred to as managed code. The CLR is responsible for run-time services, including language integration, security enforcement, memory management, (including garbage collection), process management and thread management. Similar to CORBA, (Common Object Request Broker Architecture), it is the ?engine? that allows diverse applications to work with each other regardless of what language they were written in."

Bed Rest to Prevent Preterm Birth, 2005.
Reviews literature to try and verify the claim that bed rest for pregnant women might prevent miscarriage in high-risk pregnancies.

Abstract
Loss of pregnancy before 23 weeks happens in 10 - 20 % of pregnancies. It is associated with chromosomal defects in about one half to one third of the cases. Many interventions are used, but bed rest is the most common. The objective of this review is to evaluate the effect of prescription of bed rest during pregnancy to prevent miscarriage in women at high risk. The paper concludes that although bed rest is widely used to reduce the risk for preterm birth, there is no evidence that this practice is beneficial. Further research evidence is needed to support or refute the efficacy of bed rest in women with high risk for miscarriage.
From the Paper
"Currently there is not enough evidence to support the use of bed rest in multiple fetus pregnancies. Although there is a suggestion that fetal growth is improved, no other risk reduction is evident. For uncomplicated twin pregnancies, the risk is actually increased if bed rest is used. Further research evidence is necessary to be able to recommend this clinical practice."

Abstract
The paper explains that the article is about the new "Globe-Net" website, which provides upcoming events, market reports and headline news and business opportunities in the environment sector. It also points out that the site is easy to navigate and is useful especially for the small Canadian businesses, which do not have the resources or the awareness to collect information about business opportunities on their own. The author points out that the article provides useful information about the introduction of a new website for the Canadian environmental businesses and is written in an attractive style with liberal quotations from the relevant experts. The paper states that the Globe-Net initiative is particularly useful to the management accountant because it provides 'real-time' information, which can be fine tuned for the daily company operations of their companies and to improve their responsiveness to market trends and customer needs.

From the Paper
"In Canada up to 7,500 firms and as many as 160,000 workers are in some way linked to the environmental business. Canada, in fact, leads the world in some of the major environmental technologies such as fuel cells, alternative fuels and water treatment. Still, the industry needs help to expand in a big way. The Canadian government is helping out by providing substantial funds for environment friendly businesses in the federal budget. The Globe-Net aims to play a crucial role in the process by providing the necessary information."

From the Paper
"The Bed and Breakfast (B&B) operations are believed to have been the first form of accommodations available to travelers however, those establishments have historically been replaced by inns and hotels. The Bed & Breakfast (B&B) is however, making a comeback for travelers who prefer a "home-like" hospitality with breakfast served to begin the day. Because this business is making a comeback entering into this type of business is desirable however, requires an understanding of what makes the Bed & Breakfast operation marketable and thereby profitable. The origins of the Bed and Breakfast Inn is historic, based on the traditions of New England and Europe. Country inns, indigenous to New England, provided food and lodging to travelers and locals, and were often a focal point for a community."

Charlie Smith?s ?Beds?, 2005.
Examines how Charlie Smith constructs a poem from a Whitman-esque catalogue of beds he has known.

Abstract
In his poem, "Beds", Charlie Smith charts his journey through addiction, through a catalogue or 'heaping figure' of beds he has known throughout his life. The paper examines this technique and the importance of metaphor as tool for raking through challenging subject matter.
From the Paper
"Whatever one chooses to call the technique, Smith's handling of it is masterly. He takes an everyday object and uses it as a vehicle through which to explore a situation and its accompanying emotions. He continually implodes the object through constant re-inspection, "heaping" one kind of bed upon the other, exhausts it, turning it over and over, examining it ever closer until it ceases to be merely a bed and becomes a metaphor for each step of his journey. Smith's catalogue of beds are the landmarks of his recovery."

Thom Jones?s ?Mosquitoes?, 2004.
This paper discusses the short story, ?Mosquitoes?, a social commentary by Thom Jones.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Thom Jones uses double meanings and symbolism in ?Mosquitoes? to convey his message. The author points out that, at first glance, the story seems to be normal enough: a doctor telling his experiences when he visits his brother; but the constant references to mosquitoes in the story mean more than meets the eye. The paper concludes that Jones, through his character, ?Bob?, states that humans are no better than animals and may be even worse. The worst of all are not the criminals, junkies, or prostitutes, but rather, the worst are the prosperous, upper-class people.
From the Paper
"Toward the beginning of Jones?s story, Bob is making his way to his brother Clendon?s house in Middlebury, Vermont. When he got there, he was surprised to find, what looked to be a mosquito infestation throughout the entire area. The infestation was intended by Jones to take on two different meanings. One was the obvious literal meaning of an infestation by mosquitoes and the other was an infestation by the people in the world that represents all that is evil in Bob?s mind. The symbolism here is perfect for a comparison. Not only do mosquitoes annoy and bother people but also they spread disease."

Abstract
This paper shows how in today?s fast paced economy and exploding computing infrastructure, XML and web services for e-commerce is the prima franca language for application solution developers. Sun Microsystems and the Microsoft Corporation have lined up their forces for an immense battle on whether Java and J2EE or the Microsoft .NET framework should dominate the platform developer landscape. This paper examines the debate and an objective analysis of which technology should be adopted by a customer looking to web services development.
From the Paper
"The Internet has spawned a breeding ground for web applications and database systems to perform e-commerce, e-banking, and e-government transactions. At the cornerstone of these systems are web services and a platform battle for the high ground is well underway by Sun Microsystems and Microsoft Corporation. Over the past few years, XML has enabled heterogeneous computing environments to share information over the Internet. From a technical perspective, the advent of web services is not a revolution in distributed computing. It is instead a natural evolution of XML application from structured representation of information to structured representation of inter-application messaging (Vawter, 2001)."

Abstract
The paper explores a common problem in the control of diabetes, nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes. The paper explains how many people experience hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) levels during the night. As a remedy for this situation, many doctors have suggested a snack before bedtime to help get the patient through until morning. The paper discusses how there has been mixed evidence from clinical studies that indicates that a bed time snack may not always be able to control night time hypoglycemic episodes. The research examines the role of carbohydrate loading throughout the day as a possible solution to the dilemma. The paper concludes that this study will play an important role in the development of better guidelines to help patients control their diabetes.

"Diabetes is a condition that affects millions of people on a global basis. It presents a major medical expense for insurance companies and if not controlled, can lead to serious side effects such as stroke or heart disease. In 2003, it was estimated that close to 194 million people suffer from diabetes around the world (IDF, 2003). In 1985 it was estimated that 30 million people had diabetes. The IDF estimates that by the year 2025 nearly 350 million people will have some form of Diabetes. Among the nations monitored by the IDF, North America has the highest percentage of diabetes in the world."

"Talking in Bed" and "Metamorphosis", 2005.
A critical analysis of Philip Larkin's "Talking in Bed" and Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis".
1,216 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 29.95
»

Abstract
This paper examines how the poem by Philip Larkin, "Talking in Bed" discusses alienation and isolation from humankind. It looks at how the poem can be compared to Franz Kafka's, "The Metamorphosis", because it deals with isolation and estrangement from one's own comfort. In this case, his home life. It discusses how both works deal with ontological issues- the state of being- and present themselves in a bleak, murky tone and how Larkin and Kafka both share experiences of isolation and alienation from their societies.
From the Paper
"The sense of broken communication is well displayed through the structure and form of the poem. The iambic pentameter and the three-tercet rhyme scheme (aba, cac, dcd, eee) portray the absence of continuity and the broken-up nature of the couple's discourse. Each stanza in the poem, with exception given to the third stanza, contains end-stopped lines. This form displays the isolation of each stanza in relation to the couple isolating themselves from one another. "At the unique distance from isolation/It becomes still more difficult to find" (Larkin, 9-10) discusses the unique isolation the couple is faced with and contains no end-stop punctuation to separate the two verses.

.Net versus J2EE - Web Service Technologies, 2002.
This paper compares between the two approaches to Web services, .NET and J2EE.

Abstract
In this paper, comparisons are made between the two approaches to Web Services, .NET and J2EE, along with suggestions on why one might want to use one method or the other. Web Services are presently concerned with four basic challenges: 1) Service Description; 2) Service Implementation; 3) Service Publishing, Discovery and Binding; and 4) Service Invocation and Execution. This paper takes each of these challenges in turn and looks briefly at how the two technologies handle them. The paper also includes sample source codes from each Web service approach.
From the Paper
"Having extensively examined how J2EE and .NET handle Web Services, the question of, ?Which version does one implement?? comes to mind (w.s.architect.com). From a purely technical standpoint, each method has advantages and disadvantages (w.s.architect.com). The key advantage, perhaps, of using the .NET approach to Web Services is that it has been designed for that purpose, whereas J2EE is being retrofitted by the addition of further APIs (w.s.architect.com). One advantage of using J2EE as a base for your system is that you have a much wider choice of vendor for your pre-built software (application servers mostly), including numerous open source projects (w.s.architect.com). In many ways, open source J2EE application servers are closer to the standard laid down by Sun, because they don't add proprietary extensions to overcome problems (w.s.architect.com)."
