Scientific Theory: Is the Proof in Empirical Evidence?
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages. If scientific theory has confirming instances and it is not falsified by any available empirical evidence at a given time but is empirically adequate at that time, then is every scientific theory that is empirically adequate at a given time scientifically acceptable at that time? This paper considers this interesting and thoughtful question and gives a convincing argument about it. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Seed Dispersal Mechanisms Found In Epiphytic Plants
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Epiphytic plants – those such as herbs that live off other plants – utilized various seed dispersal mechanisms depending upon habitat and whether or not those mechanisms are biotic or abiotic. When examining these criteria, it is important to consider how nature's impact upon said mechanisms can become interwoven with man's attempts to intervene in the natural course of seed dispersal. Of the myriad ways in which epiphytic plants spread their seed and ultimately make it to appropriate sites for germination and establishment, the use of fire, wind and animals represent the primary ways in which new plant growth is made possible. Some plants even employ the help of more than one way in which to disperse their seeds. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Seed Dormancy / Evolutionary Importance
[ send me this paper ]

Sensory Perception: Physiological Biases from Past Experiences and their Relations to Cultural and Racial Biases
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the physiological basis of our perceptions. Discusses the phenomenon of phantom limbs in depth and relates this phenomenon to neurological processes and the structure of the brain itself. Suggests that given the number of physiological processes which can lead to false perceptions it difficult to trust even our own bodily perceptions. Extends this thought to a discussion of racial and cultural prejudices, of ingroups verses outgroups. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
