Abstract
This paper presents a brief historical perspective of inferior vena cava filters, discusses the effectiveness for individuals suffering deep vein thrombosis (DVT), points out indications and contraindications for use and potential short and long term side effects. The history presented stems from the concept of DVT in 1860 to surgical interventions in the 1930s and 40s to the development of the IVC filter in 1967 and then on to the developments in the present.
From the Paper
"In 1967, Siskin and Kwan tell us that the first inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, the Mobin-Uddin umbrella filter, was developed by a surgical forum to replace surgical ligation and prevent the occurrence of a pulmonary embolism. From that its first introduction in practice in 1972 research indicates that in the last 34 years (Siskin and Kwan; Gomez, Salwon & Basson) filters of varying shapes and materials have been developed. This paper presents a brief historical history, effectivity for individuals suffering deep vein thrombosis (DVT), indications and contraindications as well as potential short and long-term side effects."

Abstract
Deep veins in the legs and pelvis join to form a large vein in the back of the abdomen, known as the inferior vena cava, which carry blood from the lower part of the body to the heart. This paper explains how the inferior vena cava is usually a single large vein that forms from many smaller veins in the early stages of development of a human embryo. The importance of this vein is discussed and an examination of health risks if this vein is damaged.
From the Paper
"The superior vena cava, which is one of the largest veins in the body, works to return blood back to the right atrium from the upper part of the body. The inferior vena cava is important for carrying the blood back to the right atrium from the lower part of the body. The inferior vena cava is a large vein--about as big as a broom handle--in the abdomen and chest. It drains most of the blood from the legs and abdomen and takes it to the heart. The heart then pumps then pumps it into the tiny vessels of the lungs to get fresh oxygen and then out again into the general circulation."

Abstract
This paper outlines the five major filtering software products, and conducts a discussion of their pros and cons. The paper assesses how, when, or even if these filters should be utilized in schools or public libraries. The paper also attempts to answer whether filtering is unconstitutional censoring; whether public institutions have the right -- or the duty -- to filter; whether the companies that produce filtering software are truly objective; and whether there are better ways to keep minors from accessing adult material.

III. Is Filtering Interfering with "Free Speech" in Libraries and Schools?
IV. Who Are the "Guardians" of Morality on the Internet?
V. Some Conclusions
From the Paper
"Today's internet provides access for all kinds of information, from useful to salacious. Access is available to anyone with the knowledge of how to use a computer. Some of the information available for mature audiences in various web sites ought to be restricted to adults. There are five major software suppliers of filters that block unwanted information and make it unavailable to children. The problems of installing such filtering software in public locations, such as schools and libraries has brought a spirited defense of First Amendment rights. The problems are not that materials might be "censored" and unavailable to minors,. But who should do the filtering. The government has passed a "Communications Decency Act". However, the on-going arguments to be presented in the body of this research paper is whether the government has a right (or the power) to censor materials that should, properly, be the responsibility of individual parents."

Abstract
This paper shows how character development in short fiction is very important in order to establish an understandable plot. Many authors in the 19th century, as well as those in the early 20th century, used their writings to communicate the treatment of women in their societies. The paper examines how women's fight to be considered equal to men is expressed in many of the fore mentioned stories.
From the Paper
"In many works of short fiction the focus in a story relates to a relationship of some kind. The portrayal in many such works show women being powerless, abused and oppressed by men which can be seen through the authors descriptions of the female character. A women's role in the family was to be submissive. Society had rules that barred women from being involved in political actions. The idea for women's rights became very evident after many women became involved in trying to end slavery. Women's suffrage can be considered one of the most important rights for women. When women received the right to vote it helped declare their independence from male domination."

Polly Peachum: A Satirical Filter, 2004.

Abstract
Analysis of English values in the Restoration, focusing on Polly Peachum as a foil character that Gay uses as a satirical element to show the hypocrisy of London society. It explains how Gay juxtaposes the aristocracy against the thieving, working class and asks the audience "Who is who?" The character helps question whether there is really such a difference between the gentry and the criminals warehoused in London jails.
From the Paper
"The aim of satire is to attack or expose human vice or hypocrisy by means of irony, sarcasm, and acerbic wit. In the Restoration play The Beggar's Opera, author John Gay satirizes early 18th century England by turning societal convention on its ear, challenging the upper stratus of government and the aristocracy, and making ridiculous the Italian opera. One of Gay's most ironic and satirical elements in the Opera is his characterization of the play's personas. The theatregoers of Gay's era were accustomed to characters who behave according to an established set of conventions that supposedly mirrored the London society in which they live. In the typical Restoration plays such as Man of Mode and The Way of the World, the upper-class male protagonists are fashionable, witty, respectable, honorable, and of good reputation. The young female leading roles are almost stock characters who are pure, chaste, virtuous, filially obedient, and have the propensity to be excellent wives. But in order to expose the hypocritical double standard that existed in London society, John Gay creates a play of inverted values. The value systems of criminals and gentle people are almost indistinguishable. The rake is replaced by a highwayman, match making parents are replaced by villainous thieves, and the honorable maiden is swapped for a would-be ingenue. This maiden, Polly Peachum is the antithesis of stock Restoration female protagonists such Millamont, Harriet, and even Margery who possess honor and respected positions in society."

"WATER TREATMENT TECHNIQUES
One of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. today is water treatment. No longer limited to a chemicals business, the art of water treatment has metamorphosed because of the revolutionary development of technology and the diminishment of pollution-free water supply sources. In conjunction with water treatment expansion the economics have kept pace with the boom. In recent years, water treatment processes have burgeoned into a $2 billion a year industry (6:16). Water treatment is becoming fundamental in not only the industrial manufacturing process, but also municipal water treatment facilities, taps, wells, aquifers and reservoirs. While no single catalyst can be cited from the growing demand for water treatment , there is a combination of ..."

Library Censorship, 2004.
A discussion of why libraries should refrain from filtering out content and speech in their books.
1,014 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 24.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents the opinion that libraries should not use special software packages that filter out unacceptable speech and materials. The paper compares the discussion to the current topic prevalent in U.S. politics of hate crimes and whether someone can be punished for their thoughts as well as the crime itself. The writer here believes that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and collections of books should not be limited by the personal views of the institution that houses them.
From the Paper
"Simply on a level of technological capabilities, this is problematic, given that groups that advocate hate might not be recognized currently, and might not be screened, and groups that do not advocate hate might be incorrectly identified in this ongoing process of identification and unjustly blocked by the software, and tarred with the label of hate. Also, if an individual is conducting research upon, for instance, the American Nazi Party, he or she would be unable to examine the evils of this group, in their own words, and thus open his or her research up to charges of bias and inaccuracy."

" Men have had every advantage of us in telling
their own story. Education has been theirs in
so much higher degree, the pen has been in their
hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.
Jane Austen, Persuasian
In his book, The Art of Loving, philosopher Eric Fromm claimed that the greatest problem with the world today was that for two or three thousand years, mankind has been worshiping the wrong god and pursuing the wrong ideals. Fromm maintained that, when man substituted God for the Great Goddess, he substituted authoritarian for humanistic values. Man's relationship to God (...)"

"Goodbye Earl", 2002.
This paper examines the concepts of gender typical behavior and the penalties for violating that behavior through the filter of country music.

Abstract
This paper deals with public outcry against certain country music songs dealing with domestic abuse, namely, "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie Chicks. It asserts that the public's outrage over the song, rather than the topic the song examines, is a result of socially sanctioned gender roles as well as a misunderstanding of the phenomenon of spousal abuse.
From the Paper
"Troubled relationships have long been a focus of popular music. From break-ups and resultant depression to serious battery and final retribution, popular music has served as a constant commentary on human beings and their failed attempts at romantic relationships. While most singers and songwriters tend to focus on the more accessible topic of painful separations when looking at failed relationships, many have also taken a close look at the darker side of these relationships, when love transforms into violence. Before the 1960s, most songs dealing with the subject of domestic violence focused only on the abuse and, in some cases, the eventual death of the female partner. It wasn't until the sexual revolution that songs about domestic violence began to be sung from the perspective of the abused."

Socrates' Words in Plato's "Apology", 2005.
This paper argues that the examined life may not be inferior to the unexamined life contrary to Socrates' opposite claim in Plato's " Apology".

Abstract
This paper explains that, describing in Plato's " Apology", Socrates went to wise men, politicians, poets and artisans and, in each case, he found that they had no answers to his questions and that their wisdom was false; thereby, Socrates concluded that the unexamined life is a life in which one is ignorant of one's ignorance. The author argues that the over-examination of life may lead to an over-intellectualization of the world, a divorce from the sensualization of the actually mystic world and a loss of pleasure and initiative. The paper concludes that, if Plato tries to argue that the unexamined life in the sensual world is not worth living, maybe that is because he has forgotten his own body's language because the unthinking life is the most in tune with the body and the sensual nature of the real physical world.
From the Paper
"To truly understand Socrates' horror of the unexamined life, one must turn to his allegory of the cave. In this story he refers to the world as a cave in which men are prisoners. The sun beyond the cave mouth shines across objects and actors on the outside and cast shadows on the wall. These shadows are what the men in the cave, without examination, call reality. The man who has truly examined life is like one who has stepped outside the cave, and there is nothing that could convince him to go back: "if they were in the habit of conferring honors among themselves on those who were quickest to observe the passing shadows ...do you think that he would care for such honors and glories, or envy the possessors of them?""

Jurors and Inadmissible Evidence, 2005.
An in depth research paper that explores inadmissible evidence and the ability of a jury to filter it.
5,000 words (approx. 20.0 pages), 17 sources, APA, £ 89.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
There has been extensive psychological research into the question of whether jurors are able or motivated to effectively disregard evidence ruled inadmissible in a courtroom. This paper explains that as there has been significant variability among these studies, at this time no clear consensus on the matter has emerged. The writer examines how several key factors seem to affect jurors' abilities to disregard inadmissible evidence. The reasoning behind inadmissibility rulings has been found to affect this ability. Measures of need for cognition may predict ability to differentiate between reasons. It discusses how additionally, research has shown attenuating effects of deliberation, suspicion, and in certain cases, judges' instructions to the jury may increase biases. The paper concludes that overall, it seems that jurors are not able to sufficiently disregard inadmissible evidence.
From the Paper
"The very foundations of the criminal justice system depend on jurors' ability and motivation to base their decisions solely upon legally admissible evidence. Therefore, any evidence ruled inadmissible must be disregarded. However, in cases where such evidence is entered and later deemed inadmissible, it is not completely understood whether jurors are able to disregard this information. If jurors fail to disregard such evidence, there is a danger of incorrect judicial outcomes and sentencing. However, if jurors are indeed able to ignore inadmissible evidence, justice is working in the way it was intended."

Imperialism and the Racial "Other", 2004.
This paper discusses that Imperialism in the 19th century was an intellectual act of aggression, presuming the inferiority of the "race" that was colonized.

Abstract
This paper explains that Imperialism in the 19th century established the sense of racial superiority as mainly manifested in creating dichotomies, such as progress vs. tradition, because the Christian whites needed to educate the racial "other", whose civilization was believed to be backward and subservient to false traditions and myths, if the whites were to benefit economically from the colonial process. The author points out that the Victorian emphasis upon morality in a morally confused and volatile England, the dominant colonial power of the era, brought an added dimension to the military domination and exploitation of the 19th century. The paper relates that the appearance of uncivilized territories convinced many expansionists they had a God-given mission to take new territory and to spread Christianity and the benefits of European culture.
From the Paper
"This is not to deny imperialism's economic and military components. Industrialized nations have often produce more manufactured goods than their people need or can afford to buy and colonies have long served as markets for these unsold products and military strategy is another important motive for imperialistic activity, as colonies provide important buffer zones in creating military spheres of influence. Both industrial production and militarism had experienced a tremendous expansion in the 19th century. But also, during the late 1800's, a strong feeling of nationalism had swept most European countries beyond pure economic and military motives."

Language Acquisition, 1999.

From the Paper
"Language acquisition and vocabulary acquisition are governed by a number of factors. The development of vocabulary is also governed by factors in culture and psychology, and borrowing words form other languages depends on the proximity of the two language groups, the cogency of the new term, and other factors that have been studied and about which theorists have speculated. Language is a vital part of human life, and hundreds of different languages are in use in the world today. Yet much is not known about the origin of language, the way languages have developed, the relationships among certain languages, and even the manner of acquisition of language. Linguists have developed the idea of different families of language to show how certain existing languages developed from an earlier root, though whether all languages can at some point be traced back to a single.."
