These papers are provided as examples to be used by both supervisors and undergraduates working for research credit. They reflect the structure, topics, and overall quality that are expected for the papers that research credit undergrads will produce each semester. Note that these papers are from over a decade ago. Their topics and citations are both far out of date from a scientific standpoint. They should be viewed as inspirational examples, and nothing more. They should not be used as the basis for a current paper or copied from in any sense.
