Imprinting in Animals
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the processes and results of imprinting in animals. Dictionaries define imprinting as an �indelibly distinguishing effect or influence.� As such a statement applies to animals, it is an irreversible influence. Whether it is the homing �device� or ability of salmon, the ability of newborn animals of all species to recognize their parent, or the mating choices of any creature, what has been imprinted is what serves as one of the strongest determinants of their behavior.

Inability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Invade Epithelial Cells
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the research investigating possible paths to genetically altering this opportunistic bacterium so that it is unable to cause disease. The organism is ubiquitous, but rarely causes disease in healthy individuals. In those with compromised immune systems, however, it can be quite devastating. The focus of the research here is on genetically altering the organism's cell membrane so that it is not as readily able to adhere to epithelial cells, or so that it is not as readily taken up by them. Bibliography lists 10 sources in 20 footnotes.

Invasive Non-Native Plants
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses non-native, invasive plants and the fact that they have often damaged more habitat than development. Non-native plants or invasive weeds follow a growth pattern opposite the native plants and overcome habitats either before or after the native plants are in season. They may be harmless and beneficial in their natural surroundings, but they can totally devastate different environments. Greater effort must be spent to make individuals aware of the potential harm and destroy non-native invaders when they first appear. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
