High Deadwood Loadings Decades After Spruce Beetle Outbreak
Get PDFResults of research in forest health and forest futures in Utah.
Key Results 1. Variable fuels: Fuels are highly variable on the landscape (upper left) - making estimations from transects difficult. 2. Slow to decay: Slow decay rates of Pinus deadwood can lead to high accumulations of loading - even after decades. 3. Brown\u27s transects underestimate fuel: Brown’s transects underestimated fuels by 24%, compared to mapping all deadwood

Evaluating the Stress System of the Grieving Brain: Corticotropin-Releasing Factors and Partner Loss in Female Coyotes
Get PDFForming social bonds is fundamental in helping us foster connections with others. The loss of a loved one often results in grief, stress, and loneliness, and the stress response system of the body has been implicated in the physiological symptoms associated with grieving. Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) is the hormone that initiates the stress response in the body and acts at two different receptor subtypes CRF receptor (CRFR)1 and CRFF2. Many studies on CRF and social loss have been conducted in monogamous prairie voles, but studies in longer-lived monogamous mammals could improve understanding of the effects of losing pair bonds. A monogamous mating system and stable pair bonding behavior exhibited by coyotes (Canis latrans) make them an appropriate animal model to study social bonds and social loss. Our goal of this larger study was to map CRFR1 and CRFR2 in the coyote brain using a comparative binding approach and to quantify CRFR levels in both widowed and paired female coyotes, allowing us to determine if CRFRs densities changed in response to partner loss. The results of our mapping study showed that the olfactory system, hippocampus, amygdala, and pyriform cortex were sites of action of CRFRs. Region-specific differences in CRFR1 and R2 binding were observed after partner loss. Specifically, elevated CRFR1 and R2 binding were detected in the olfactory bulb and olfactory tubercle respectively, suggesting the potential role of the olfactory system in regulating the brain’s response to social loss in coyotes
Background & Methods: Research Summary
Get PDFDuring the fall of 2023, Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) researchers conducted a statewide study to establish a baseline of public perceptions related to the awareness, understanding, and attitudes around challenges that Utah women and girls face. It focused on the following areas: education (finance, higher education attainment, and K-12 initiatives); community engagement (political representation, boards and commissions, and civic engagement/advocacy); safety and security (child sexual abuse, domestic violence, poverty and homelessness, sexual assault, and sexual harassment and gender-based discrimination); health and wellbeing (health across the lifespan and home and family); and workplace (childcare/pre-K programs, entrepreneurship, gender pay gap, leadership development, organizational strategies and workplace culture, STEM fields, and workforce development)

Leavening Agents Substitution in Chocolate Chip Muffins
No full textThe primary function of leavening agents in baking is to cause the dough or batter to rise, allowing the baked product to be less dense, have more volume and be more aesthetically pleasing.1 The three main types of leavening agents are baking powder, yeast, and the production of carbon dioxide steam as the product is baked.2 These different types of leavening agents behave very differently and the purpose of this experiment was to discover and record the differences that occur in chocolate chip muffins. This research is important because if baking powder is unavailable the research shows what alternatives are available and how they might be altered and the differences in texture, flavor and appearance that may occur
