Inconsistencies With the Drumian Carbon Isotope Excursion (DICE) in West-Central Utah
Get PDFGeologic Setting During the Cambrian Period (539-485.4Ma), the western US was submerged by a shallow ocean Carbon cycle fluctuations in stable carbon were preserved in marine sediments One such period of geologic time, the Drumian Age (500Ma), is defined by the first appearance of a deepwater trilobite, P. atavus, in west-central Utah Researchers have hypothesized we can find Drumian-aged rocks without the fossils using carbon cycle fluctuations preserved in limestone the Drumian Carbon Isotope Excursion (DICE) is defined as a -2.5‰ fluctuation in global carbon-bearing rock
Discovering the True Meaning of Federalist No. 27
Get PDFBackground
Three of the Founding Fathers wrote the Federalist Papers in order to gain support for and explain the new system of government.
The Federalist Papers provide valuable insight into the original meaning of the Constitution.
Supreme Court Justices often look to the Federalist Papers when making decisions but do not always come to the same understanding.
In Printz v. United States (1997), both the Supreme Court’s majority and dissenting opinions used Federalist No. 27 to support their arguments.

SEEING 230 IDENT: A Compact, High-Precision ZERODUR\u3csup\u3e®\u3c/sup\u3e-Based Imager for Smallsat
No full textThe SEEING 230 IDENT is a compact space imager based on a ZERODUR® main structure. It provides a ground sampling distance of 1 meter when operating at an altitude of 500 km. The optical layout adopts a space-efficient Korsch design, optimized for compactness and performance. This paper provides a comprehensive presentation of the instrument’s main specifications, its opto-mechanical concept, and the experimentally validated performance
Restore the Shore: A Guide to Lakeshore Revegetation in the Great Basin
Get PDFLakeshore vegetation supports many valuable aspects of lake ecosystems: foraging areas for birds, rearing grounds for fish, nutrient cycling, carbon storage, and aesthetic, cultural, and spiritual values. Yet, the vegetation of many lakeshores has been lost or heavily impacted by humans. What can be done to restore lakeshore vegetation to ensure that lakes remain healthy for future generations? In this guide, we summarize best practices for lakeshore revegetation (i.e., the process of actively reintroducing vegetation, usually native species, to a restoration site through seeding and planting) in the Great Basin
Tracking the Translocation of Nanoplastics From Soil to Plant: Comparison of Different Analytical Techniques
No full textNanoplastics (NPs) are increasingly prevalent in the environment, posing potential risks to agricultural systems and the food web. Despite this, currently it lacks comprehensive evaluation on NPs detection and quantification techniques, which is critical for quantitatively understanding the fate and transport of NPs. To address this gap, our study systematically assesses and compares advanced analytical tools for tracking different types of NPs (derived from both top-down and bottom-up approaches) from soil to plants. For identifying and quantifying NPs from environmental samples, pyrolysis - gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) and confocal-Raman spectroscopy demonstrate promise. For laboratory study, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) along with metal doped NPs enables good sensitivity for tracking NPs in plant system. Our results demonstrated a substantial NPs internalization, 1.09 × 101 1 NPs per gram in shoots and 1.52 × 101 1 NPs per gram in roots, by wheat seedlings after five days of exposure, leading to a notable 77.26 % reduction in biomass. This study highlights the importance of integrating multiple techniques to overcome the limitations of each individual technique and provides quantitative insight into the detection of NPs within plant systems, contributing to the improvement of methodology for NPs related research in environmental and agricultural fields

Exploring the Instructional Effectiveness of High-Growth K-2 Teacher Teams in Foundational Reading
Get PDFThis study examined high-performing teacher teams in Title I elementary schools that demonstrated significant student growth in foundational reading skills. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, we identified K-2-grade-level teams within a district with the highest growth on Acadience Reading. The study explored (1) student growth and proficiency outcomes in these high-growth teams and (2) how teachers described their instructional practices and outcomes. Focus group interviews were conducted, and thematic analysis revealed key factors, including collaboration, data responsiveness, professional development, and content/pedagogical knowledge. Recommendations and directions for future research are discussed
Wild Licorice (Glycyrrhiza lepidota) Identification and Management in Pastures
Get PDFWild licorice, also known as American licorice, is a perennial legume native to North America, commonly found in the western United States. Wild licorice reproduces rapidly through seeds and rhizomes, leading to large infestations, particularly in pastures. The low preference of livestock for wild licorice results in overgrazing of other plant species, leaving them at a competitive disadvantage, further promoting the spread of wild licorice and contributing to pasture infestations. This fact sheet reviews the identification and management of wild licorice in pastures
