With the discovery of the five nearly complete hominin crania at the Dmanisi site in the Republic of Georgia, the discoverers have caused some controversy by aligning them with the middle Pleistocene Homo erectus based on facial and cranial morphology. This classification is used to imply that both H. habilis and H. erectus belong as a single highly variable species; a classification which ignores the presence of important primitive characteristics...

Acidobacterium capsulatum is an acidophilic, heterotrophic, aerobe ubiquitous to soils and aquatic environments throughout the world. It is capable of growing on glucose as its sole carbon source. Comparative studies of Acidobacteria genomes suggests A. capsulatum may be capable of reducing Fe(III) and nitrite, while other Acidobacteria may be able to reduce nitrate. Additional in situ studies showed iron reduction capabilities in Acidobacteria is...

"The Ouray fault is one of the best exposed structures in southwestern Colorado. The fault has controlled geomorphic expression and drainage evolution around the town of Ouray. Although the fault has been described in publications for over half a century, no previous research documents strike-slip or curved slickenlines. There has been speculation regarding the timing of movement, and there has not been any detailed study of the fault's kinematics....

Overexposure to technology is resulting in negative effects towards children's physical and psychological development. More of the time children spend is indoors, and away from nature due to homework, television screens, and parental anxiety about the potential threats of strangers....

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are a group of macromolecules that encode genetic information. Primary RNA structures can fold into various complex secondary structures, which are important for numerous cellular functions. Many single-stranded RNAs serve as the genetic material for several viruses, such as the Human T-Cell Lymphotrophic Virus Type I (HTLV-1). Five to ten percent of the time, HTLV-1 infections result in leukemia. HTLV-1 is a retrovirus that...

Until the mid-19th century textile colors came from plants, insects and sea life. In 1856 William Perkins, a teenage English chemist, accidentally discovered a purple synthetic dye he called mauve. This discovery led to an explosion of synthetically produced colors. Today we know about the detrimental impact to our ecological systems from textile processes. For example, an article in Tech Science states: "The wastewater from textile plants...

White nose syndrome has caused the death of millions of bats throughout the eastern United States. Since the 2006 discovery of Psuedogymnoascus destructans (P. destructans) in New York, the psychrophilic fungus has been observed as far west as Oklahoma. With bat populations seeing 70% decrease in numbers after being infected with P. destructans, we sampled bats from around Crestone, Colorado in order to determine if P. destructans was affecting local...

Prior research examined the correlation between impulsivity, gun and substance usage. These studies isolated two variables at a time, while there was limited research that analyzed all three of these factors. It is widely debated whether substance usage increases aggression, thus making individuals more likely to commit gun crime, or individuals commit crimes with guns in order to uphold their drug habits (Williams-Reid, 2001). Impulsivity increased...

Ostrya is a genus of generally small understory tree which exhibits a widespread distribution throughout the Arcto-Tertiary region. In North America, the distribution of Ostrya is ubiquitous throughout the extensive deciduous forest of the east. To the west, Ostrya exhibits a highly disjunct distribution throughout the desert southwest, western Texas, and northern Mexico. The genus continues its range south through the discontinuous high elevation...

The purpose of this study was to add to the body of literature about perceptions of care quality in athletic training through the lens of race and gender, given that both are prominent issues in general health care. We hoped to see how gender and race match/non-match relationships between collegiate athletes and Athletic Trainers affect their perceptions related to quality of care. Methods: We sent out a survey designed to assess athletes' perception...
