Rudby (2005) specifically identifies organizational and generic difficulties that might be encountered as a part of the cultural disparity that exists between many non-native English speakers and the institutions wherein they earn advanced degrees, noting that it is far more than a simple linguistic barrier that makes the proper collation and presentation of research questions and data difficult for EFL and ESL students. Simple writing modules that emphasize theoretical underpinnings and practical techniques, and that incorporates other areas of academic knowledge and research as well, have proven especially effective in supporting ESL/EFL dissertation efforts and leading to greater clarity and reliability in the presentation of results and in the results and findings of ESL/EFL dissertations themselves (Rudby 2005). Though built on a single case study, the conclusions and recommendations made herein are also largely supported by previous and more general research (Rudby 2005).

This research compared language fluency and improvement rates in elementary and junior high school aged students, and examined the role that teaching methods and practices had on these figures. Though not pertaining directly to the issue of ESL/EFL graduate student progress and dissertation deign, preparation, and presentation, this study identifies specific elements of language use in academic settings that pertain both directly and indirectly...
A lack of practice is one of the key factors identified insofar as explaining this noted discrepancy; this is an issue that is likely to effect graduate students perhaps even more than younger students, as peer groups and siblings are less likely to speak English at older ages than at earlier points in development (Reynolds 2005).

Digital Signature Scheme Based on Factorization The objective of this study is to discuss an issue in cryptography or computer security. Digital signatures are described as "an analog of handwritten signatures" which are based on "the physically idiosyncratic way of signing one's name. But they can be easily forged." (Grabbe, 1998) The digital signature is "a mathematical method of attaching one's identity to a message" and is held to be more

Foremost, though, is the Nietzschian concept that freedom is never free -- there are costs; personal, societal, and spiritual. To continue that sense of freedom, one must be constantly vigilant and in danger of losing that freedom, for the moment the individual gasps a sigh of relief and feels "free" from contemplating freedom, tyranny will ensue. He believed that it was the internal cost that contained value. This, however,
