Abstract
The paper explains how the recent decision of the Israeli government to close the Karni Crossing has sparked a great deal of debate within the international community. This paper delves into the tense history precipitating the closure, states the law which the Israeli decision to close the crossing appears to contravene, outlines the facts of the present situation in Gaza (that is to say, what the closure means for Palestinians), provides an analysis of why the closure is clearly a breach of international law (chiefly, the closure constitutes the use of force by an occupying power as per international conventions and protocols) and lastly, looks at what can be done to resolve this troubling situation without further rancor.

Abstract
International Environmental treaties have become more and more common in recent years as fears about the decaying state, or at least perceived decaying state, of the natural world has sparked high level discussions among national leaders. This paper examines three international conferences or summits, the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the Kyoto Protocol of five years later, and the recent Montreal Conference, and describe the successes and shortcomings of each.

Abstract
This paper explains that the debate over the Kyoto Protocol, an international set of standards regarding environmental issues, that specifically regards the emissions allowed by each nation, which are negatively affecting a global climate change, demonstrates the problem of international environmental regulation. The author points out that disputes in current worldwide groups like the United Nations and regional organizations, such as NATO and the Organization of Latin American States, do not give an optimistic outlook for the world's ability to compromise when it comes to environmental regulations. The paper argues that creating a bureaucratic standard and enforcement mechanism for environmental regulations is going to be an incredibly difficult task;therefore, non-governmental organizations, NGOs, will be the non-bureaucratic movement, which will eventually be the most influential in terms of changing international environmental policies.
From the Paper
"There must be punishments or enforceable measures for nations that are found not to comply. The details of how long a nation has to comply and in what manner it will be determined that they have failed to comply to the standards will take a massive bureaucratic effort, using thousands of hours of research, of manpower on the ground, and then of deciding on a proper method of enforcement. This bureaucratic effort is a huge factor in why the world has not adopted a uniform model of environmental standards-even if a compromise can be reached with all the world's nations, who will pay for the inspectors? Who will pay for bringing the industries up to standard-the nation at fault, or the world community as a whole?"

Abstract
This paper explores TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and how it is the driving force behind the scenes of the Internet and most business networks today. It examines how, even though the name insinuates that there are only two protocols involved, TCP/IP consists of several different protocols. It looks at how these protocols are designed to work together to ensure the transfer of data communications across the Internet so that information arrives the same way it was sent and how they include many important features, such as logical addressing, routing, name service, error and flow control, and applications support.
From the Paper
"The layer above the Network Access layer is the Internet layer, at this layer the most important protocol lies ? IP. The IP protocol sends the data packets from one to point to another. On a routed network it is not possible to deliver the data by only using its physical address therefore a logical address is needed. The network is organized by a logical addressing scheme, holding logical addresses, and is maintained by the IP protocol at the Internet layer. The logical address is known as the IP address. ?The Address Resolution Protocol assembles a table that maps IP addresses to physical addresses. This Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table is the link between the IP address and the physical address burned into the network adapter card? (Casad, Hour 4)."

International Law and National Interests, 2008.
Argues that international law does not have an independent effect on the behavior of states.

Abstract
This paper explains that, even in cases where states obey an international law, they do it because it's in their best national or security interest to follow the law. The paper utilizes the rational decision making model to introduce this argument. The paper then presents the Crimean war of 1854, the current Iraq War, the dispute over the Bakassi peninsula between Nigeria and Cameroon and the "Montreal Protocol" and chloroform carbons as examples. The paper also reviews treaties and agreements, which deal somewhat directly with individuals, such as the international criminal court of justice. The paper concludes that state interest, which is shaped by the position of its political class, citizens and interest groups, determines if the state preference is to follow international law or not.
From the Paper
"A good example of a states following international law because it is in their national interest was the dispute over the Bakassi peninsula between Nigeria a Cameroon. The Bakassi peninsula is an oil rich region between Nigeria and Cameroon. This peninsula has been cause of serious rivalry between Cameron and Nigeria. Both countries claimed that they had jurisdiction over the peninsula. The complexity of this case required a review of old colonial documents between these nations and their colonial masters. "

Abstract
Network protocols are standards that permit computers to communicate. This paper explains how a protocol defines how computers recognize one another on a network, the form that the data should take during transfer, and how this information is processed once it reaches its target. It looks at two main concepts TCP and IP -
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol built on top of Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly always seen in the grouping TCP/IP.
From the Paper
"Generally speaking, TCP/IP is a software-based communications protocol used in networking. The name TCP/IP implies that the product is a combination of two protocols. However, the term TCP/IP is usually not a single entity, but a larger set of software programs that provide network services. These services include remote logins, remote file transfers, and electronic mail. TCP/IP provides a method for transferring information from one machine to another, and manages the routing and delivery of data, controls the actual transmission of data by the use of predetermined status signals, and handles errors in transmission (Hutchinson, 1999)."

Tuberculosis and Compliance with Medical Protocols, 2002.
A paper which discusses the forced detention of tuberculosis sufferers and the urgency for a solution to be found to the problem of non-compliance with medical protocols.
3,745 words (approx. 15.0 pages), 7 sources, APA, £ 73.95

Abstract
The paper shows that most tuberculosis sufferers are homeless or substance abusers and by not complying with medical protocols on TB treatment, they are endangering the general public. The paper questions the right of the State to detain these people by force in an attempt to protect the public, and further outlines a research proposal designed to determine how medical professionals could better work with patients to produce a higher level of compliance with medical protocols for the treatment of tuberculosis.
From the Paper
"People often have very good reasons for being non-compliant, and in fact their non-compliance often results from the failure of medical staff to be empathetic towards their problems. One reason, for example, that people fail to comply with drug protocols is due to side effects. Medical staff who do not adequately explain the severity of possible side effects, who do not express concern for the patient?s experience with these side effects, and who do not treat these side effects as effectively and vigorously as possible are themselves contributing to non-compliance in those patients. This is clearly part of the process of treatment in which nurse?s behavior can be changed and the effects of these changes studied."

Abstract
This paper looks at the variety of standard protocols available to programmers. The paper considers their advantages, disadvantages, reliability, speed, and flexibility. The paper also discusses implementation of the protocols and takes a look at industry and international standards.
From the Paper
"In Information Technology (IT), protocols are agreed-upon formats for transmitting data between two devices (Webopedia, 2003). They determine the type of error checking to be used as well as the method, if any at all, of data compression used. The manner in which the sending device indicates that it has finished sending a message and how the receiving device will indicate that it has received such a message are two more common situations resolved by protocols."

Poetic Conventions and Stimulation of the Senses, 2003.
An examination of the conventions, both common and original, used by poets to gain superior, heightened responses from their readers.

Abstract
This paper discusses how one of the common qualities possessed by successful poets throughout the ages is the profound ability to stimulate the senses through subtle and original means. It demonstrates the truth of this statement by closely examining the works of several poets including Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Wordsworth and Percy Shelley and the ways in which they persuade their readers to be led by their poetry. It looks at the manner in which the poets employ conventions such as simile, metaphor, rhyme and syntax, to stimulate the reader's subconscience into sensing subtle feelings in the precise way intended.
From the Paper
"Simile and metaphor are well recognised as being two of the most common conventions present throughout the history of poetry. Most poets have no difficulty in using one or the other to vary their description of events or to add diversity to the structure of their piece. Far rarer, however, are the poets capable of employing their use with such appropriate application as to heighten the texture and feel of the poem in order to increase the reader?s perception of the sights and sounds within the work to a more three dimensional level. That is to say in order to draw a deeper, more detailed realisation of the situation described. Elizabeth Barrett Browning took the use of these conventions to extreme lengths in part XXIV of her Sonnets from the Portuguese."

Abstract
This essay focuses on British Soap Opera and its conventions. It gives a brief history of the soap opera genre and it origins. It gives examples of current and past british soap operas and their popularity and reasons for it. It also looks at theories of audience enjoyment and uses for such media.
From the Paper
"The soap opera genre originates from the American radio serials of the 1930's so called because of their sponsorship by major soap powder companies. Due to its incredible success the genre grew and by the 1950's it had developed into television productions. The first soap to be televised in Britain was The Groves, which first aired in 1954 and lasted for three years. It was followed by what is now the longest running and most successful soap in Britain, Coronation Street. Rival terrestrial channels soon picked up on the success of Coronation Street (and the soap opera genre in general), this resulted in the arrival of Channel 4's Brookside in 1982, followed by the BBC's EastEnders in 1986."

MAC Protocols, 2002.
An overview of Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocols in computer network engineering.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol, which enables different devices to connect through a common, shared medium by providing three main features: The ability to detect when the shared media is free and the device should send the data, the ability to decide what to do if the data collides with data from another device and the ability to determine how long to wait before re-sending data that has collided. The paper includes illustrations
From the Paper
"The data is monitored during transmission and if it changes, a collision is assumed to have occurred and the detecting device sends out a ?jam bit? or ?jam sequence,? a random bit pattern meant to ?kill the corrupted frames.? At the other end, MAC receivers read the first 6 bytes of the PCI, determining the destination address of the frame. If that address matches it?s own, the receiver continues to read the rest of the frame. The PDU or data payload of the frame is then read, followed by the CRC. The MAC receiver calculates the CRC to detect any errors in the data, such as a collision, and allows it to discard corrupted frames. Once done, the receiver transmits back confirmation data to the source, notifying it whether the data was sent successfully or was corrupted and needs to be resent."

Abstract
This paper traces the development of the history of art in Ancient Mesopotamia through a specific study of four well known and well preserved pieces of art. The range of dates runs from 2600 B.C. with an examination of the "Standard of Ur", through to 260 A.D. and the "Triumph of Shapur I". It looks at how this period of art history is critical to an understanding of the art of the ancient world and logically precedes Egyptian, Minoan, Greek and Roman Art.
From the Paper
"Of Standard of Ur's two main sides, the 'war side' has immediately recognizable conventions similar to those found in Triumph of Shapur I; four-wheeled war chariots ride down enemies, the bodies of which are trampled beneath the hoofs of the animals. The depictions of war and victory are common motifs in Mesopotamian art. Here, as in Triumph of Shapur I, conventionalization is used, and the four bodies trampled beneath the war chariots, like the trampled body of the Roman soldier from Bishapur, represent the many killed. On the middle tier, the victorious army leads away naked and defeated captives."
