Abstract
The position of the traditional R & D director has evolved into that of the chief technology officer, which is much more broad and encompassing. The paper shows that the primary role of the chief technology officer is to deliver the total value of technology for the corporation, to ensure that the firm has the technologies that it needs to achieve its goals and to facilitate technology transfer across business units. The paper looks at various issues on the subject, including the evolution of this role in the business world, areas of responsibility for the C.T.O. and the future of this field.
From the Paper
"I believe that the chief technology officer is an important link between government laboratories and U.S. corporations, because one of the primary functions of the CTO is to assess the need to form partnerships with government institutions in order to exploit the total technology capacity of the organization. A government role is also vital in promoting technologies that are critical to economic growth, the creation of good jobs, and meeting the common needs of the nation, but that cannot attract adequate private investment?especially in the cases of high technical risks and long payback horizons.
Overall, it is clear that the CTO has a vital role in building a strong U.S. base of fundamental science, and developing a business environment that encourages innovation and investment."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that assisted reproductive technology (A.R.T.) has received a great deal of attention in recent years. The writer explains that couples who have difficulty having children are now seeking out assisted reproductive technology to conceive children. The writer examines the developments and advancements in assisted reproductive technologies. The technologies examined include: Zygote intra fallopian transfer, donor egg or embryo, surrogacy/gestational carrier, in vitro fertilization (IVF), intra cytoplasmic sperm injection and gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT). The writer concludes that the research indicates that there are many alternatives available to infertile couples and that IVF and GIFT remain among the most popular and successful types of reproductive technologies.
Outline:
Introduction
Zygote Intra fallopian Transfer
Donor Egg or Embryo
Surrogacy/Gestational Carrier
In Vitro Fertilization
Intra cytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Gamete Intra fallopian Transfer
Future Technologies and Conclusions
From the Paper
"In addition to egg donation, embryos can also be donated. In most cases embryos are donated by couples that have undergone IVF and still have some additional frozen embryos; couples can choose to donate these embryos, have them used for medical research or have them destroyed. When the embryos are donated they are given to couples that have problems creating their own embryos."
"The author also points out that as it relates to having to use donor eggs, there are certain emotions that a woman may experience. The author asserts that these emotions are similar to the emotions that a man may experience when he discovers he is sterile. Relying on a donor egg or embryo also means that the woman will have no genetic link to the child."

Abstract
This paper looks at how vital this form of technology is. It discusses the spread of the use of internet for doing day-to-day transactions such as bill paying and purchases - and how this has created the need for the protection of sensitive data from being misused. The paper examines the history of encryption technology and how it developed into the level it is today. The issue of the need for privacy in the cyberworld is also discussed.
From the Paper
"The Internet has made the transfer of data easy and has become an everyday part of our lives. Many of us could not even imagine our lives without the Internet, let alone, the computer. Computers allow us to store and transmit data with ease. Data storage takes up much less space than a filing cabinet and data can be transmitted almost instantaneously using the Internet. The ease and speed of data transfer has led to the development of faster and bigger systems to handle larger and larger amounts of data. Some of this data is private and contains information that is only to be read by certain individuals. Now we transmit critical information such as credit card and banking information over the Internet on a daily basis. So how do we protect that information from prying, but unauthorized eyes? Encryption is one technique used to protect the data."

Abstract
This paper examines how past research on procreation technology has provided numerous opportunities for infertile couples, or individuals wishing to become pregnant, a chance at creating life. It looks at how, in thirty-five years, the technology has advanced from extra-corporeal test tube babies to major breakthroughs in stem cell research, frozen embryo transfer, and cloning. It also discusses how the ethical implications of this research continues to be at the heart of many heated debates. It examines how society has changed in light of this technology.
From the Paper
"Procreation technology is the science, research and technology associated with creating human life. The first extra-corporeal, outside the human body, fertilization of human egg by human sperm in occurred in 1969 (Garrett, 1999). Until this time all human procreation had taken place inside a woman?s body. Dr. Robert Edwards conducted research for almost ten years (and one hundred and three attempts) before the first successful test-tube baby was born in 1978; her name is Louis Brown. Since this time the field of procreation technology has exploded. The more science reveals about the human body the more we are able to manipulate and control aspects of procreation believed possible only in science fiction novels."

Abstract
This paper compares HTML and XML to determine the advantages of the latter for internet applications. The structure and benefits of each technology protocol are outlined in order to show that although XML is not widely in use at present, it is the technology of the future because it allows more control and use of the content of web data transfers.
From the Paper
"As the Internet came into common use in the last two decades and evolved from a tool for scientific and academic research into a forum for sharing all forms of information, including commerce, entertainment and art, the need for speed, efficiency and flexibility became increasingly apparent. In its original form, the technology that was used to build websites and structure data was termed Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML and this served the needs for scientific/academic research look-up fairly well. However, as Internet traffic and data sharing demands have increased, the technology has been proven insufficient to meet the needs of new Internet uses and users."

Abstract
The paper explains the concept of E-Government as a strategy used by governments in and around developing countries to use new technologies to provide people with more convenient access to government information and services. These are for the improvement of the quality of services and to provide greater opportunities to participate in the democratic institutions and processes.
The paper provides an in-depth, critical appraisal of the opportunities and threats ushered in by the new concept and practice of E-Government as transferred to developing countries. Ways in which developing countries may cope with the phenomenon of E-government as well as advances in information technology and governance, are discussed. In addition, it also examines the strategies and tools that policymakers use to preserve the benefits as well as to avoid or lessen the costs involved.
From the Paper
"The issue of Electronic Government (E. Government) , with particular regards to the advantages and disadvantages of its implementation and use, has been the subject of considerable debate and numerous studies in both the developed and the developing worlds. This paper seeks to explore the capacity of the developing world to fully utilize the opportunities E-government presents. However, to obtain maximum effect it is also necessary to determine what negative impacts might be and how best to approach them. In the discussion, an attempt will be made to explain why many of these negatives may not be totally eliminated as some are intrinsically intertwined with the benefits to be gained, while others derive from social conditions such as cultural differences, lack of resources, training and education. Consequently, development managers and policy makers in the developing world have come under severe pressure as it is their duty to find ways to sustain the opportunities presented by E-government while at the same time reducing the harmful effects. The paper postulates that this can only be achieved through technical changes such as trained personnel, increased availability of technology and conditional changes such as rules and regulations, social capital, capacity building etc."

Abstract
This paper describes the Asynchronous Transfer Mode layers, which include the ATM Layer, AAL Convergence sub-layer, ATM Adaptation Layer or AAL, the AAL Model Segmentation and Reassembly sub-layer and the Higher Layer Protocols for control, management and application. The author points out that the ATM technology is a very detail oriented and maybe the most complex technology ever created in the current technologically driven society. The paper relates that the network-to network cell is used to define the interface between nodes throughout a network's switches or between two or more unique networks.
From the Paper
"As noted, the ATM Cell utilizes a 5-byte header for the UNI and NNI cell formats. Although the fields of these formats are similar, there is an exception for the UNI cell format which includes a 4-bit generic flow control or GFC to assist in the overall flow control for the UNI level. The exception is based on the fact that the NNI level flow control is inadvertently created through longer VPI's which permits for more virtual paths, 12 bits vs. 8 bits for UNI. Other fields for the header are the VCI which consists of 16 bits, the payload type which consists of 3 bits, the cell loss priority which is 1 bit and the header error correction of 8 bits."

Abstract
This paper examines the advanced method of communication available these days in most offices - e-mail, fax, teleconferences, chat programs, SMS, etc. It further examines how these forms of technology assist in the transferring of information in almost real time and the effect this has on "office gossip". The writer concludes that even with all these forms of communication available, the inter-personal conversation of relaying gossip is still a favorite.
From the Paper
"Technology has vastly changed the means of communication over a relatively short period of time. Along with these changes in communication technology came new ways for employees to communicate within the workplace, which pose unique challenges. We continue to communicate as we used to, but now we are communicating through new and more technological mediums. As our communication methods progress at a rapid pace, the business world is forced to progress as well in order to be successful and competitive. Looking into the business culture, and how employees are communicating in this technological age is an important task of this paper. As workers in the business place, it is important for us to recognize that our modes of communication are changing. If we want to continue to communicate effectively, we must learn about how the new technological modes of communication can influence and alter our most basic interactions."

Abstract
This paper briefly describes the different forms of heat transfer. Heat transfer is a process that occurs on the molecular level. The basics of the process are defined, with three heat transfer mechanisms identified-- conduction, convection and radiation.
From the Paper
"In metals, thermal energy is transported by conduction band electrons. This is based on understanding molecular orbital bands. This refers to solids that form a lattice, including metals. These lattice metals are understood by looking at the lattice itself as one large molecule rather than looking at it as individual atoms. The electron orbitals of the atoms overlap, creating a continuous band covering a range of energies that extends throughout the lattice (Shriver, D.F., Atkins, P.W., & Langford, C.H. Inorganic Chemistry. New York: Oxford University Press, 1994, p. 91)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between transference, counter-transference, and the American Psychological Association's ethics code, claiming it to be fraught with challenges and ambiguities. The paper contends that understanding the synergies and linkages involved is one of the key aspects to a successful therapist/patient relationship.
From the Paper
"The American Psychological Association's Code of Ethics deals with transference and countertransference. It is a code which must be adhered to by all practicing therapists and students: "Membership in the APA commits members and student affiliates to comply with the standards of the APA Ethics Code and to the rules and procedures used to enforce them. Lack of awareness or misunderstanding of an Ethical Standard is not itself a defense to a charge of unethical conduct." (APA Code, 1) Self-disclosure is another very important and related concept to transference and countertransference. According to Psychology Today: "Do you tend to open up to and confide in the people in your life, or do you keep tight-lipped? The inability to share ourselves with others can prevent us from reaching high levels of intimacy. If we bare our soul at the drop of the hat, however, we can put ourselves in a vulnerable position. Self-disclosure and communication skills overall are important components of any healthy relationship, whether with family, friends or in romance.""

From the Paper
"Asynchronous Transfer Mode is a digital technique for high speed switching. The unit of multiplexing and switching is a cell which comprises a short fixed length information packet with a fixed length header to carry signalling information. By offering access at the cell level, information from many sources with widely differing activity patterns and transmission rates can be interleaved on a single transmission link or switched through an ATM node. As in other packet switching environments capacity is used only when it is needed."
