Discuss briefly any logical implications of the journal articles for practical application or future studies

The technical essay is a review paper that synthesizes and interprets work on a particular subject area. In writing your essay, interpret the primary journal article in a series of paragraphs that build on your discussion, giving particular attention to the problem or topic posed in your introduction. In addition, relate your findings to previous observations or experiments from the supplemental references that you have chosen. Discuss briefly any logical implications of the journal articles for practical application or future studies. A good review paper not only synthesizes information; it also provides a critical overview of an important scientific problem. Select one of the following journal articles as your primary reference for the first technical essay (5 pages in length, with at least 3 additional references). You may use Internet sites to read and gain an understanding of the subject area, but WWW references are not permitted for this assignment.
