Sexual dimorphism in the Chin-spotted Knob-scale Lizard, \u3cem\u3eXenosaurus phalaroanthereon\u3c/em\u3e
No full textMany aspects of the biology of lizards in the genus Xenosaurus remain relatively understudied, including sexual dimorphism. We studied sexual dimorphism in body and head size in X. phalaroanthereon from Oaxaca, Mexico. We found no sexual dimorphism in snout–vent length or head size in X. phalaroanthereon. The lack of information on survivorship and growth of the sexes, as well as their social behavior, make it difficult to provide explanations for the patterns of sexual dimorphism in this and other populations of Xenosaurus.Muchos aspectos de la biología de los lagartos del género Xenosaurus permanecen relativamente poco estudiados, incluyendo el dimorfismo sexual. Estudiamos el dimorfismo sexual en tamaño del cuerpo y cabeza en una población de X. phalaroanthereon de Oaxaca, México. No encontramos dimorfismo sexual en longitude hocico–cloaca ni en el tamaño de la cabeza en X. phalaroanthereon. La falta de información sobre supervivencia y crecimiento de los sexos, así como su comportamiento social, dificultan la explicación de los patrones de dimorfismo sexual en esta y otras poblaciónes de Xenosaurus
The Effects of an Undergraduate Peer Mentoring Program on Belonging and Success
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine if participation in an undergraduate peer mentoring program led to increased feelings of belonging and success compared to students who have never received BYU ComD peer mentoring. Outcomes were measured using pre- and post-experiment surveys and focus groups. This study had ten participants in the experimental group and 12 participants in the control group with seven participants from the experimental group who participated in the focus groups. Analysis of the results determined there were three key findings from the study: mentees benefited from the peer mentoring program, students signed up to receive peer mentoring in search of belonging and success, and suggestions from mentees for improvement of the BYU ComD peer mentoring program. Findings of this study support the hypothesis that peer mentoring programs promote a sense of belonging and increase feelings of success for mentees. The implications of this study are important because many of these students are future service providers in the field of communication disorders (e.g., speech-language pathologists, audiologists); their experiences now as students can shape their outcomes for better or for worse, and the more support they receive and feel, the better their learning and growth will be. Findings from this study can also inform peer mentoring efforts at the undergraduate level
A Dendrite Equivalence Relation on Loop Spaces
No full textIn Definition 2.0.3 we define an equivalence relation on paths such that two paths into a space X are related if doing the first, then the second backwards factors as a loop through a dendrite. This equivalence relation induces a group structure L(X) on a large subset of the loop space of X, namely all loops that have a unique reduced representative. We show that certain continuous maps induce a homomorphism between dentropy groups and that projection from three-dimensional real space to two-dimensional real space does not induce a homomorphism on dentropy groups.. We show that dentropy groups are locally free. For any finitely generated subgroup G of X, there exists a one-dimensional space Y with a map that induces an isomorphism from L(Y) to G, such that every path to X lifts to Y and every path with a unique reduced representative lifts uniquely
Magnetic nanoparticles tethered with Zn–DPA for the removal of bacteria from red blood cell suspension
No full textBacterial infections continue to drive the need for more effective and rapid methods for bacterial analysis. To address this, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as promising tools, especially when their surfaces are modified with bacteria binders. The bis-zinc–dipicolylamine (Zn–DPA) complex is known for its broad affinity to bacteria. We have synthesized MNPs via a thermal decomposition method, encapsulated them in silica, modified their surface with Zn–DPA, and tested their ability to remove bacteria. The MNPs retain their superparamagnetic properties and crystallite structure after being encapsulated. The MNPs coated with silica and Zn–DPA effectively bind and remove both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria from bacterial suspensions in both PBS buffer and red blood cell suspension. The capture efficiency (CE) of bacteria is high, \u3e0.95 for both concentrated (1 × 108 CFU) and dilute (1 × 103 CFU) suspensions of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in PBS. The bacterial capture efficiency in red blood cell suspension with 50% hematocrit ranges is high (CE \u3e 0.95) for both concentrated and dilute suspensions of S. aureus but lower for concentrated (CE = 0.30) and dilute (CE = 0.15) suspensions of E. coli. The Zn–DPA coated MNPs have promising binding efficiencies for a broad-spectrum of bacteria within a short period of time, potentially leading to applications in diagnostic devices for both medical and industrial uses

Prepping for the Last Battle
No full textIntellectually acute, deeply learned, brilliantly imaginative, yet popular and easily accessible, C. S. Lewis was arguably the greatest Christian apologist of at least the past century. I believe that Latter-day Saints can benefit greatly from reading him and re-reading him and that those who are unfamiliar with his writing have an enviable treat awaiting them. I’m also convinced, by my own experience, that those who return to his work after having read some of it once, long ago, will find his books at least as good as they seemed on first acquaintance. In fact, they may even find, as I did, that they’re even better than they had realized. This essay is a shameless plug for a great and greatly admired writer
