Pollination plays a huge ecological and economic role in nature and in civilization. The agriculture industry relies heavily on insect-driven pollination for fruit production. Likewise, many angiosperms depend on insect pollination for fertilization and reproduction. This study outlines bee and fly pollination habits in a subalpine meadow near Molas Pass in the San Juan Mountains, Colorado, which is an undersampled region for pollinators. The objectives...

Histones are associated with gene regulation across species. Variations of the major histones potentially change this regulation as well as the structure of chromatin. In particular, it is thought that the histone variant H2A.Z may be implicated in development by causing changes in normal gene regulation. This study explores the relationship between Drosophila melanogaster egg development and the appearance of histone variant H2A.Z in the developing...

According to the book A Geometry of Music, by Dmitri Tymoczko, in Contemporary Music Theory, it is believed that musicians take on a mathematical approach when creating progressions of chords in their music. Because of this mathematical approach, musicians construct music as opposed to composing it. In the construction of their music, musicians strive to create sound that is pleasing to their audience's ears. In order to reach this goal, musicians...

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between students' cultural values with rationales and goals regarding the college experience. Using open-ended responses from introductory psychology students (n=211) about why they were attending college and their future goals, the responses were coded based on whether they contained self-oriented or other-oriented motivations.
For example, a response indicating a desire for a high-paying...

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), is a novel but controversial form of treatment that was recently recognized by the American Psychological Association. EMDR is an exposure therapy that enables the individual to access and process traumatic memories to achieve resolution. Founder Francine Shapiro hypothesizes that the endorsement of a saccadic eye movement "desensitizes" the hippocampus by activating both sides side of the brain...

Colorado has a long history of natural gas exploration. The style and amount of exploration have changed over time. New, more efficient processes for extracting natural gas have been developed. These new technologies have increased the amount of gas exploration in Colorado. This increase has coincided with economic gains to both the state, and the natural gas industry. These economic gains have come at the cost of contaminating state water supplies....

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the biological features and cultural framework of a human skull identified as Tibetan Tantric skull. Tantric skulls are often associated with a ritual cups or bowls, known as a Kapala. The interpretation of Kapala in Sanskrit means “skull”. Kapalas are cups or bowls fashioned from human skulls and were used in both Hindu and Buddhist Tantra. Most frequently, in Tibet these Kapala cups and bowls were...

Yeast cells, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are microorganism essential for bread and beer production. Yeast cells have the capacity to utilize various pathways for the conversion of simple sugar molecules into CO2 and alcohol. Using metabolome-base research we characterized water soluble metabolites to characterize metabolites from S. cerevisiae using two different sugars dextrose and galactose. These metabolites were characterized by one-and two-dimensional...

This paper exposes the need to give greater attention to the correlation between past mining activities and the degraded water quality in the Animas watershed. An amendment to section 402 of the CWA would serve as a means to create a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit specifically for accomplishing the partial cleanup of abandoned mines by third-party volunteers seeking to improve watershed quality in areas such as Silverton...

Research into better cancer treatments has been a progressively growing field. Metal containing coordination compounds offer unique chemistry that could prove useful. A ruthenium(III) compound with two indazole and four chlorine ligands, KP1019, is currently in phase III clinical trials as a pro-drug for the treatment of cancer. Our research delved into creating similar compounds to KP1019 but with cobalt centers instead of ruthenium, and with...

Previous studies show that people with spinal cord injury (SCI) are less likely than the average American to meet physical activity recommendations, and they face more preventable disease as a consequence. If health and fitness professionals are to effectively increase physical activity among people with SCI, a logical first step is to understand some of the variables related to physical activity in this population. The purpose of this study was to...

Phylogenetic analysis of the nr ITS region indicates that several species of the genus Charpentiera, C. autralis of French Polynesia and C. obovata populations of Kaua’i and Moloka’i, have historically hybridized with Achyranthes mutica, endemic to Hawai’i and Kaua’i. Analysis of the plasmid psbA-trnH region suggests that Achyranthes served as the pollen donor and Charpentiera as the seed donor in the hybridization event likely occurring on...

A large number of adolescents struggle with self harm, and due to the sensitive nature of the topic it is often overlooked. Although, this is a major problem it is largely misunderstood and many adolescents won’t seek help for the behavior due to the fear of judgment from misconceptions. In response to this, the study examined the effects exposure to self harm has on perceptions of self harm. Contrary to the hypothesis, there was not a significant...
