The Physiological and Behavioral Components of Sexual Mimicry
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper outlines a study on sexual mimicry in animal populations. The physiological and behavioral components of sexual mimicry can be viewed through an understanding of polymorphism and the changes that occur in flycatcher populations. A number of studies of flycatcher populations provide a basis for understanding the physiological and behavioral changes that occur in the presence of different stimuli. This study relates to these changes through a view of existing studies, and assesses the methodologies used by other researchers to determine the best ways of studying this population.

The Physiological Concepts of Sleep: Implications for Nursing
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page discussion of the physiological processes associated with sleep. Defines sleep and delineates its critical cycles and the environmental, physiological, and psychological conditions which can interrupt those cycles. Emphasizes the need for nurses to allow for periods of uninterrupted sleep and to fully assess patients for sleep related problems. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

The Physiological Impacts of Dioxins
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of the far reaching effects of dioxins such as chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs), chlorinated dibenzofurans (CDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Notes that although some dioxins are produced naturally, many are produced as pollutants from industrial applications and such activities as the incineration of waste products. Outlines the impacts of these pollutants on human and animal physiology emphasizing the adverse impacts to reproduction, lipid metabolism, and the central nervous system. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
