...The current state - is the catalog relevant? Today, the online library catalog is in a state of crisis. The current challenges facing the catalog are numerous. There is the challenge of having to catalog ever-increasing inputs; more print titles and online resources exist today than ever before. The high cost of cataloging is a factor as well. "In 2004, [American research] libraries spent an estimated $239 million on technical services labor alone." (Calhoun, 11) But the biggest challenge to cataloging today is competition from other services. (Danskin, 2) The Catalog began life as an inventory control tool for the sum total of our collective knowledge. Before the internet, the library catalog was the starting point for research. Now, however, the catalog is becoming less and less relevant to scholars and other library users. The OCLC Report of 2005 found evidence that “89% of college students began their searches on the web, with only 2% starting at the library website.” (Calhoun, 37) In May 1999, at the Medical Library Association's annual meeting, Dick Miller discussed the "frustrations that we encounter regularly at Lane Medial Library, in trying to cope with proliferating digital resources. With burgeoning web development, we [Lane Medical Library] felt that our 'library information' was under-utilized due to its segregation from mainstream web resources, and in danger of becoming marginalized." (Miller,1) What Miller feared in 1999, the under-utilization of...

...management and data analysis. Currently, I am working on a small metabolomics project where I am learning principal component analysis in R. However, I am eager to design epidemiologic studies to understand the impact of genetic and non-genetic factors of breast or prostate cancer risk and its molecular subtypes in African-Americans. To prepare myself, I am taking a Genetics Course and Multivariable Calculus this summer. When school starts, I eager to take Cancer Genetics, Cancer Epidemiology, and Clinical Trials Design/Analysis to improve my skill set. The MS Epidemiology program at Georgetown would help me realize my goal of designing cancer epidemiologic studies. In addition, I would like to work with faculty to present my thesis research at AACR in the near future. The program would prepare me for a Ph.D. program and a career as an investigator at a university. The program’s unique focus on the social determinants of health and cancer epidemiology makes it an excellent fit for my career. I am confident that I can contribute to your program through research, publishing, and collaboration. ...

Review Cancer Research Cancer Stem Cells: Distinct Entities or Dynamically Regulated Phenotypes? Yunqing Li1,2 and John Laterra1,2,3,4 Abstract The origins of tumor-propagating neoplastic stem-like cells [cancer stem cells (CSC)] and their relationship to the bulk population of tumor cells that lack stem-like tumor-propagating features (i.e., transit-amplifying cancer progenitor cells) remain unclear. Recent findings from multiple laboratories show that cancer progenitor cells have the capacity to dedifferentiate...

...Student’s Name Professor’s Name Class’ Name Date There Is No Hope of Doing Perfect Research (Griffiths, 1998, p97). The issue of whether doing a perfect research is feasible or not has in the recent years, become a key issue of debates in the world of research and inventions. It is usual that the level of perfection committed to any given research, is in most cases, is bent towards the achievement of the research’s primary goals. Based on the fact that human beings possess varied intellectual capabilities, have constructive, reflective and inquisitive minds, and are prone to the commission of errors, it is certain that nothing can be done to perfection. In spite of the fact that many discoveries, developments and inventions seem to be perfect, research has always proved that they can be improved upon. In the light of these lines, I do agree with Griffith on the statement that there is no hope of doing perfect research. The definition of the term research by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is a devoted and systematic study, investigation or examination of previously done work, with an aim of establishing or developing new inventions or conclusions. The term may also be used to imply to the revision of already existing laws, theories or experiments with a target of discovering new facts and findings. This makes the hope of doing perfect research unfeasible. The various developments and transformations, which the world has gone through since the dawn of civilization, satisfy...

This report includes a look at the past, present, and future of Japan’s economic stance, cultural values, and business opportunities. Our group examined the relations between the Georgia-based insurance company AFLAC, and their Japanese counterparts. This report explains AFLAC’s strategic motives and successes they have found in doing business in Japan. It also identifies some of the weakness and threats that are in the near future if current practices are not altered.
