Birth Order Theory
[ send me this paper ]
Despite the fact that research findings on birth order theory are contradictory and inconclusive, many researchers continue to believe that birth order is one of the most significant indicators of personal development. The question first arose in 1920 when Alfred Adler published his definitive study indicating that quantifiable personality differences occur in people because of their birth order. It remains viable today. Bibliography lists 4 sources. jvBirOrd.rtf

Brain Research and Technology in the Classroom
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing some of the discoveries of recent brain research and how that information can be used in the classroom, specifically how teachers can use technology to take advantage of students’ specific stage of brain development. The bottom line is that the use of technology not only can assist in maximizing the benefit a child receives while in a specific state of brain development, it also can be used to signal the teacher that the same child may be moving into the next developmental stage, and that it is time that his lessons be altered.

Canine Oral Spirochetes
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of canine oral spirochetes, concentrating on Treponema denticola, Treponemapectinovorum, and Treponema maltophilum. Notes that although oral microflora cannot be held solely responsible for the presence or absence of periodontal disease and associated conditions, thesemicroflora do manifest differently in healthy verses diseased tissue. This observation is true both in the species which are present and in what concentrations they are present. Suggests laboratory methodologyfor qualifying and quantifying their presence, as well as linking thatpresence to periodontal disease. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
