Author(s) of paper(s) chosen for publication: [Jason Madsen]
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
Comments: [...]'s paper was completely correct.  The only suggested
improvement was to include further explanation and the revised function
of T, but this is optional.  Of the other papers, one did not address the
question posed and the other did not appear to be correct.
 
GRADER'S AND INSTRUCTOR'S COMMENTS:  Upon examination, the originally 
chosen paper also did not address the question posed.  None of the papers 
did.  The point is that the left side of the equation should have a total 
derivative (dT/dx, where x labels a point on the path) whereas the right 
has a partial derivative, so they do not cancel.
