Temperature Effects on Behavior
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page paper discussing the link between increased temperature and increase aggressive behavior. Increased irritability, inability to concentrate on routine tasks and a general lack of patience with small irritations all can be called signs of heat frustration. Even when temperatures are not high enough to cause physical problems, several studies indicate that increased temperatures do have a direct connection with increased aggressive behavior.

The 1988 Piper Alpha Oil Platform Disaster: Background, Risk Assessment and Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the background of the Piper Alpha oil platform disaster, risk assessment and analysis. The Piper Alpha oil platform disaster which resulted in 167 deaths in 1988 became the center of several safety and risk assessment inquiries and analyses. Several systems on board the platform had failed which included mechanical, communication and safety measures which if operating properly could have lessened the disaster considerably. Since that time, oil companies, insurance companies, investors and workers have all had to make their own risk assessments in regards to continuation of the production of oil from off-shore platforms.

The All Macaw Group
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper examining an Internet membership group in terms of composition, function, operation and differences from traditional mass media.
