Abstract
This paper explains that face recognition, one of the first issues studied with regard to child psychological development, plays a significant role in early brain development, but this may be a natural characteristic rather than one that is learned over time. The author points out that research is locating the site in the adult brain for face recognition activities, which is important for analyzing the effects of organic and non-organic brain damage that has increasing consequence for the treatment of alcoholism and even autistism. This paper concludes that the research is substantial with regard to the issue of face recognition, its impact on social and cognitive ability, and its importance within both children and adults, but more research must be done to determine its efficacy and best practices with regard to face recognition technology for identification purposes.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many of these questions have become increasingly important to the whole of society as more and more people lean toward, biometric identification technology to increase security during travel and to meet the most recent U.S. demand for biometric identification for all flight passengers entering the United States from foreign countries by October 26, 2004. The historical research has been used to develop ways in which the human identifies faces for recognition and developed the same or similar tactics in a simulate computerized system that is said to scan faces and determine their similarity with those in a database."

Abstract
This paper attempts to explain voice recognition technology by describing the components of a voice recognition system and by explaining what the functions of a computer with speech capabilities are supposed to be. The paper explains that the goal of voice recognition technology is to have effective speech communication that is hands free, allowing the user to use a computer without a keyboard. Furthermore, the paper also looks at the disadvantages of voice recognition technology, the future of the technology in business and voice recognition technology developments in the future.
From the Paper
"Computer science is continually changing and growing, with new technologies being added to it on a regular basis. There are also some technologies that have been on board for many years, but have not been a high priority on the development front. Voice recognition is one technology that has been in use for many years, but on a limited basis. As the end of the 20th century approaches, voice recognition is now a technology that is seen as a promising and exciting useful tool for computer science. Voice technology is a valuable tool for individuals as a time saver, a necessary tool for the disabled, and has several practical uses in business."

Revenue Recognition, 2005.
This paper discusses problems of revenue recognition, the major single entity in financial statements.
1,660 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 53.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, since no broad norms on revenue recognition exist, there is a considerable gap between the broad conceptual guidance in the Financial Accounting Standard Board - FASB Concepts Statements and the exhaustive guidance in the authoritative literature. The author points out that more than 50% of the frauds in financial reporting among the U.S. public companies involve overstating the revenue. The paper stresses that, because users in this modern era want instantaneous data in formats which permit rapid access and analysis to assist in the better decisions; companies require trustworthy on-line, real-time reporting that is characterized by (i) dependable systems (ii) usual methods of disseminating information. (iii) corporate accountability, inclusive of management integrity and concrete enterprise risk management and (iv) comprehensible disclosures and information.

From the Paper
"As regards the items which must be included or excluded from the description of revenues, a consensus was made that - (i) a reporting body must not recognize revenues for the performance by third parties of its responsibility to work or extend services to customers in case those responsibilities are officially assumed by those third parties. (ii) In case of all other situations, a reporting body must recognize revenues for the performance by third parties of its responsibility to do work. (iii) Production will result in effecting a component of wide-ranging income. (iv) Non-reciprocal transfers received must not be excluded from revenues and must not be shown as a distinct line item in the income statement. (v) A reporting body must at the introductory stages measure its obligations for performance guarantees at their fair values and must recognize revenues as a result of their satisfactory performance or completion of those guarantees."

Table of Contents:
Overview
Past Uses
Viability for Use in Large-Scale Venues
From the Paper
"In order for facial recognition to be effectively implemented at a large-scale venue, the video surveillance infrastructure must be in place, and also be able to provide images at a suitable resolution for facial features to be analyzed. Furthermore, in order to increase the accuracy of the technology, security personnel must be able to maximize control of the environment, as well as the subject. Lastly, it should be noted that, due to technological limitations, "performing facial recognition processes with relatively high fidelity and at long distances remains technically challenging for automated systems" (John D. Woodward et al., 2003, p. 12); therefore, facial recognition must be implemented at points of entry into the stadium, and even then will only have limited success, due to the myriad constraints on the technology, as well as the environmental preconditions that must be met to ensure accuracy."

Abstract
The paper examines the issue of speech recognition and computers, including applications, forecasts and the state of the industry. The paper discusses speech recognition software and includes an abstract and a table of contents.
From the Paper
"Voice recognition for computers has long been considered the most natural way for humans to interact with their electronic tools. However, bringing about effective speech recognition has proved more difficult than many originally thought, with the result that speech recognition has yet to reach the widespread implementation once envisioned."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the implication of trade (TU) union recognition within the Insignia Hotel group. It examines the route that can be taken to TU recognition, including its advantages and disadvantages. It analyzes the hotel and catering sector and discusses why union decline has been a large characteristics of the industry - focusing on employee relations. It also looks at the impact that TU's could have on the HRCT sector and proposes some alternative approaches to employee relations.
From the Paper
"The Hotel and Catering sector represents a changing part of the service sector, accounting for 70% of employment in the UK (Euromonitor, 2002). Low pay has always been a well-documented characteristic of the industry, not to mention the unsociable hours and high demands of the job. Trade unions (or rather lack of them) have been an issue of considerable interest to industry experts. To date the HRCT remains poorly organised regardless of the degree to which employees and employers have been supportive towards Trade Union recognition. Consequently in the absence of recognised trade unions decisions about pay for example are traditionally taken at establishment level."

Abstract
This paper presents a rewards and recognition system for First Bank. It explains that this system will allow First Bank to, not only survive in the new electronic age, but also thrive in that environment. Specifically the paper looks at the present situation confronting the financial organization as well as the present state of the organization itself.
From the Paper
"There can be little question that adequate organizational change can only occur in situations wherein adequate reward and recognition systems are in place; without these systems, changing attitudes and behavior becomes extremely difficult - if not impossible. With this in mind, the following paper will include six key components: it will discuss the organizational background of the business entity being examined; it will provide analysis of the organization and its environment and what rewards system will best allow it to facilitate healthy organizational change; it will unveil a reward system proposal which is simultaneously feasible and necessary; it will present a metrics system which will permit comprehensive evaluation and assessment of employee performance; it will disclose an implementation strategy which should be both straight-forward and expeditious; finally, the paper will briefly review the lessons learned from the project. As should become apparent, the key to any organization is to ..."

Abstract
Promoters of globalization by large consider the knowledge and practices of local indigenous people of no use and impractical in the construction of a truly global contemporary world, hence they are marginalized. This is a comprehensive paper on how far the role of the indigenous peoples in sustainable development has been recognized. It starts by observing the threats that they face in the 20th century. By using their identity and their historical role on the management of the nature as the basis, it then analyse the development of legalized rights as the form of worldwide recognition for their importance. For this purpose, the highlights of ILO Convention No. 169, the Rio Declaration, Agenda 21 and the Convention on Biological Diversity are introduced and studied.
From the Paper
"Such problems for the indigenous peoples actually have always been there, but the 19th and 20th century international law ?almost consigned them to oblivion?. This is rather ironic as according to the United Nations there are more than 300 million indigenous people in over 70 countries, in almost every climatic zone from the remote Arctic region and the deserts Africa to the Pacific Islands and the rainforests of Asia and South America. Meanwhile, most of them live in the ?Biological 17?, the seventeen nations that are home to more than two-thirds of the Earth?s biological resources. Of the nine countries in which 60 percent of human languages are spoken, six are also hosts to a wealth of plant and animal species that are not available elsewhere. The extinction of some of the world?s languages also means the loss of ecological knowledge."

From the Paper
"Statistics have shown that juries and other legal officials favor eyewitness testimony; however, this testimony is highly inaccurate. In order for this form of testimony to assist in the conviction of the defendant, extensive measures must be taken for proper identification. Current research, as reported by A. Mike Bruce, Stephen Wilson, Michelle Cowan, and Vicki Bruce, in ?Face Recognition in Poor-Quality Video: Evidence From Security Surveillance,? examines the relationship between face recognition and the quality of security surveillance videos."

The Gender Recognition Act 2004, 2005.
This paper considers and explores the rights allocated to transgender individuals.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper endeavours to examine the newly enacted Gender Recognition Act 2004 and the reasoning behind Parliament's hurried reaction to a small body of case-law, whose terms of reference concentrate on the issue of obviating transsexual discrimination and promoting pluralism. It probes the doctrine of legal plurality and considers whether it promotes the campaign of transgender equality or if the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is simply an advocate for such an ideal. In order for this hypothesis to be discussed in significant depth, it also explores various academic conferences and looks at basic provisions of the Gender Recognition Act.
Outline
Introduction
Transsexualism and the European Convention on Human Rights
The Introduction of the Gender Recognition Act 2004
The Doctrine of Legal Pluralism and its Influences
Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is much evidence which suggests that the Gender Recognition Act 2004 was introduced as a direct result of Goodwin and by recommendation of Bellinger. Despite the pressures that Parliament was faced with, the Minister for Constitutional Affairs has openly recognised that the Act aims to celebrate the allocation of rights that transsexuals are to enjoy in a civilised and educated society. The logic behind the implementation of the Gender Recognition Act is possibly a combination of pluralistic values and an attempt to make domestic law compatible with the ECHR. Both of these ideas will be discussed in subsequent sections."

Abstract
The issue of revenue recognition may seem, at first thought, trivial relative to the other areas of financial accounting. However, the way in which a company chooses to recognize its revenue can have a significant impact on the company's financial statements and may lead to an overstatement or understatement of revenues. The paper shows that with the increasing popularity of the internet, the issue of revenue recognition is becoming even more important as hundreds of small companies are now issuing stock and attracting small investors who might not have participated in the stock market previously. In addition, there is increased competition for funds among publicly held companies and being able to show higher revenues, rather than lower, can help a company both maintain a higher stock price and attract new investors. This research examines one Internet company, eBay and its approach to revenue recognition.
From the Paper
"The most basic explanation of eBay is that it provides an on-line auction service. Sellers (who must register with the site) list items for sale and, optionally, a minimum price (as well as a reserve price below which they will not sell the item). Buyers have a predefined period of time during which they may bid on items after which eBay validates if a bid exceeded the minimum price and the reserve price (if a reserve price has been set). If the sale was successful according to these criteria, eBay notifies the buyer and seller through e-mail and they consummate the sale (arranging for shipment and payment) between them. At the time of the e-mail notification, eBay's involvement in the transaction is concluded. The site is not responsible for either payment or shipping (1999 Annual Report, 2000, p. 6)."

Abstract
This paper provides a hypothesis and recommendations for the early recognition of adolescent alcoholism. It shows how by identifying and treating the early warning signs of alcoholism among adolescents, action can be taken to deter the onset of those problems symptomatic of adolescent alcoholism. Through a literature review, it analyzes the the symptoms most obviously associated with adolescent alcoholism including the effects of substance-abusing families and the evaluation of problems experienced by children of different ages in relation to alcohol.
From the Paper
"Children under five years of age are at increased risk for hypoglycemia. Additionally, the rapid development of coma is a significant risk in alcohol intoxication and in cold weather could lead to fatal hypothermia. Preschool-aged children eliminate ethanol twice as fast as do adults and young teenagers tend to eliminate it at the adult rate. In children eleven to sixteen years of age alcohol intoxication closely resembles that of adults. Mild acidosis of a respiratory or metabolic origin and mild hypokalaemia are common in young teenaged children. Generally the recommended treatment is fluid replacement with glucose containing fluids and follow-up."

Recognition in the Global Arena, 2002.
Shows how celebrities are seen as icons and global commodities
1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 6 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the role of popular figures in sports and entertainment as global commodities. These figures are perceived as global commodities in that the general public can immediately identify them and tie these popular figures to their accomplishments, which is also highly effective when used as a marketing strategy for companies that advertise a commercial or product connection to these figures. In addition, the recognition that accompanies these figures helps the average individual affirm a feeling of personal connection to a country or a product. In order to best assess this thesis, the evolution of the lack of individuality in respect to a growing global capitalism is assessed, with an emphasis on the media and on popular culture. The book "Michael Jordan and the New Global Capitalism" will be used, in addition to other sources.

Abstract
This paper brings forward Will Kymlicka's study on polyethnicity and multinational states, and compares it with Charles Taylor's famous concept of the politics of recognition. It shows how the study of identity and its politics is very important in the effort to understand control and somehow reduce the occurrence of group conflicts.
From the Paper
"In the last decade, the international political arena has seen the rise of groups discontent that leads to conflicts and even to separatist movements. Some of them actually stem from long-term tensions that were suppressed by the Cold War international arrangement. According to Daniel L. Smith (1989, p. 385), these conflicts are maintained in the minds of the actors according to the symbols and motifs that they have. Any solution to such conflicts can only be obtained by addressing the cultural identity of the people themselves. The study of identity and its politics is therefore very important in the effort to understand control and somehow reduce the occurrence of group conflicts."
