Alfalfa and 'Yellow Rocket' (Barbarea vulgaris)
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the interaction between alfalfa crops and a common weed. The weed chosen for examination is Barbarea vulgaris, most commonly known as 'yellow rocket.' Yellow rocket is usually biennial or perennial with some plants flowering, setting seed and dying after their first growing season; reproducing only by seed but the seeds are notable for their ability to germinate with minimal soil requirements. Yellow rocket and other weeds reduce alfalfa production during establishment by competing with and choking out young alfalfa seedlings, invade established alfalfa fields, and reducing forage quality and yield. Several aspects of intervention and eradication are discussed. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Alfred Russel Wallace: Reputation
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. It has been said that Alfred Russel Wallace's reputation falls far short of what his scientific achievements merit, an assertion that might be supported by evidence pointing to Wallace's spiritualist tendencies. By the same token, however, he was just as steeped within the fundamental tenets of science as any other man of factual knowledge; however, he was able to bring together these two seemingly unassociated perspectives under the umbrella of scientific understanding. This blatant departure from conventional approach had many up in arms and, therefore, quick to accuse Wallace of having no basis to his scientific assertions, to which Wallace indicated how there is more than one way to look at and consider the principles of science. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Alternative Fuel Cars: Alcohol vs. Electric
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the design, durability and safety of alcohol-powered and electric cars, particularly GM's EV1. As for which is "best," it appears that alcohol-powered vehicles provide a good alternative to gasoline-powered cars for the short term, buying time for further development of the various electric versions that are becoming more common and more affordable. In the long term, however, it is the electric approach that needs to be regarded as "best." Current models are highly limited in their range, but the further development and refinement of the use of fuel cells will give future purchasers greater freedom of movement outside the city limits. Bibliography lists 15 sources in 23 footnotes.

Alternative Fuels Why They are Likely to Fail
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the various forms of alternative fuels that are being tested and tried. While alternative fuel has been an issue for some years, it appears as though most of these alternative fuels have proven to be inadequate for the required purpose. The most powerful and prevalent of the alternative fuels today is electricity. This is discussed in the context of its performance, availability, and cost, all of which fall drastically short of the public’s needs. It is not likely that alternative fuels will be used across the nation, on a large scale, for quite some time. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
