Alfalfa and 'Yellow Rocket' (Barbarea vulgaris)
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the interaction between alfalfa crops and a common weed. The weed chosen for examination is Barbarea vulgaris, most commonly known as 'yellow rocket.' Yellow rocket is usually biennial or perennial with some plants flowering, setting seed and dying after their first growing season; reproducing only by seed but the seeds are notable for their ability to germinate with minimal soil requirements. Yellow rocket and other weeds reduce alfalfa production during establishment by competing with and choking out young alfalfa seedlings, invade established alfalfa fields, and reducing forage quality and yield. Several aspects of intervention and eradication are discussed. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Altered States of Consciousness and Hypnosis
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses hypnosis and the altered state of consciousness it produces. While the term “hypnosis” often carries a certain number of negative connotations that do not truly convey the beneficial and physiological relation response that is the legitimate hypnotic response, many people are still hesitant about the concept in general. The simple fact is that hypnosis is not a form of mind control and is not the will of one person being exerted over another. Health professionals, mental health counselors, even sports performance consultants advocate hypnosis as a form of stress reduction, pain management and personal performance enhancement. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Analysis of Research in Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
[ send me this paper ]
A 29 page paper discussing current research in LGMD, much of which has moved beyond the realm of theory and elementary discovery into that area that enables researchers to create accurate and workable syntheses of mechanisms and pathways that exist. Though research is not required to provide definitive answers in order to be considered valid, arrival at those definitive answers is greatly more gratifying for researchers and clinicians, and certainly provides hope for patients. A review of current research and normal function does provide insight into the reasons for researchers' thinly veiled glee over the rapidity of emerging facts that can be translated into clinical results, including the advent of the first clinical trials for gene therapy. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Animals and Earthquakes
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages. An interesting paper reporting on the connection between animals and earthquakes. Can animals actually predict earthquakes days before the fact? And if so, how? There are many reports of animals behaving strangely just days before a major earthquake which causes many scientists to believe that the animals can actually predict what is going to happen. If this is the case, an interesting question is raised: is there a way we could use animals’ abilities to give us early warning of earthquakes? Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Antagonistic and Mutualistic Associations: Plants
[ send me this paper ]
Interactions between plants and animals are often categorized as antagonistic or mutualistic. In many ways, this is a fair dichotomy, with the needs of the pair serving each other. The plant needs to be fertilized and the animal can offer that service. The problem arises when the herbivore or human spreads disease through the process of fertilization. Yet, most interactions between plants and humans rely on this mutualistic process. 4 references. jvPlntMA.rtf
