Five Scholarly Open Access Publishers
No full textThis review critically examines five international scholarly publishers that publish academic journals using the gold (author pays) Open Access model. The author-pays model is changing scholarly publishing because authors, rather than libraries or other subscribers, become the publishers' customers, an arrangement that creates a built in conflict of interest. The more articles a publisher accepts, the more revenue it earns. New gold Open Access publishers are appearing almost weekly, and many are engaged in unethical practices. The review covers four predatory publishers, Academy Publish, BioInfo, ScienceDomain International, and Scientific Research Publishing, and one legitimate publisher, AOSIS Open Journals

Rodeo Event, Cheyenne, Wyo., A
No full textA RODEO EVENT. In Cheyenne a Wild-West show is given each year. It is called Frontier Days. The most interesting part of the show is the rodeo. The riding of the backing bronchos is only one event at the rodeo. Prizes are given to the best riders. Other events are the roping and the branding of calves and steers. Rodeos are held only in a few places. The one at Cheyenne, which lasts almost a week, is the best known, and it usually attracts a large crowd. The rodeo reminds us of the "dude ranch." This is a ranch where paying guests, usually from the eastern cities, are taken. Its name comes from the cowboys' custom of calling men from the east or from the cities dudes. The guests are provided with guides and horses so that they may take long rides over the prairies or up into the mountains. Some hunting and fishing is done. Various entertainments in the way of games and shooting matches are provided. Many city people enjoy a week or two on a dude ranch as a part of their vacation. Today the owners of some ranches make more money from their paying guests than they do from their cattle
Cheyenne Odyssey: Representing Removal in an Educational Video Game
No full textThis articles reflects on the process of creating digital media in collaboration with Native communities, using the example of Cheyenne Odyssey, a game from Mission US, to argue that such media can illuminate the perspectives of Indigenous peoples for a wide audience while also creating digital repositories for both visual and narrative forms of knowledge. This game takes on the difficult challenge of portraying very sensitive moments of US history to middle school-age children. The game walks the player through the Battle of Little Big Horn, the forced removal of the Northern Cheyenne people, their harrowing journey home again, and even the massacre of Dull Knife’s band at Fort Robinson. The creators of the game brought Cheyenne perspectives to the process by consulting Northern Cheyenne elders, historians, and even school children, as well as archival materials, and scholars of Cheyenne history, including the author. This multifaceted collaboration resulted in a game that presented Cheyenne history in a way that reflected Cheyenne values while providing non-Cheyenne people with an accessible narrative that, nevertheless, disrupts the familiar history of westward expansion in the United States. At the same time, the game makes new a history familiar to every Cheyenne by presenting it in a fresh medium that captivates young people. The public nature of this online game empowers Cheyenne people to take pride in their own historical narratives.This article is published as Hill, C.G., Cheyenne Odyssey: Representing Removal in an Educational Video Game.

Cheyenne Dog Soldier Depredations on Settlers in the Northern Kansas Frontier From 1864 to 1869
No full textMorgan, M.J.During the 1860s, Indian tribes raided frontier settlements across the plains, most notably the Cheyenne in North Central Kansas. Numerous counties in Kansas felt the scarring effect of the raids; however, the counties of Jewell, Mitchell, Washington, Republic, Cloud, and Clay were the most affected. Almost all sources on the matter report the Indians as "northern Cheyenne." However, the information provided by first-hand accounts points to the Dog Soldiers as being behind the raids. In this study, the author examines the raids that took place in north central Kansas between 1864 – 1869, while demonstrating how and why the Dog Soldiers committed the depredations
A Fusion of Cultures and the Rise of Gynaecology in the Hellenistic World
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to discuss the stylization and content of the statuette of a childbirth scene, and the impact of Hellenistic medicine on the statuette. However, there has been no research published before about this statuette. This paper focuses on Cypriot culture from the Chalcolithic period until the Hellenistic period, and the increasing popularity of using portraiture to connect oneself to power in Ptolemaic culture. Also, this paper will examine the rise of gynaecology and recognition of midwifery in the Hellenistic period due to the change of political structures, because it is likely that it caused the statuette to be portrayed realistically. This paper aims to explore how the impact of the fusion between the Cypriot and Ptolemaic cultures resulted in an individualized childbirth scene, as well as how the rise of gynaecology and midwifery affected the realism of the statuette.Peer reviewedstudent peer-reviewed journal articlefinal article publishe
Life Cycle Assessment of Switchgrass Ethanol for Arizona
No full textabstract: An increase in population and need to protect the planet has created many initiatives and research goals in developing alternatives methods of fueling. Federal and state policies have provided a push for industries to find ways to of reducing their impact on the environment while maintaining competitiveness. In the sector of alternative fuels, large policies such as the Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) in the United States are making goals to reduce vehicular fuel from coal and oil, and focus on alternative fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. Along with the RFS and other federal policies, states are introducing independent initiatives to promote the use of alternative fuels.
Research has shown that other crops besides corn can feasibly be used to produce ethanol for fuel use. One of the major crops of interest currently is switchgrass (Panicum Virgatum L.) because of its ability to grow under a variety of weather conditions and soil types. Switchgrass does not require as much maintenance as corn and is a perennial grass that can have high yielding fields for up to 9 years.
This report focuses on the impacts from using switchgrass-derived ethanol to meet the state of Arizona’s policy to have government fleet vehicles operating on alternative fuels. The study uses a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach to evaluate 22 million gallons of ethanol produced in Arizona and stored at fueling stations for use. Impacts in land use, global warming, and water quality are evaluated using software tools and databases in Ecoinvent and Simapro.
The results of the study indicate that the cultivation and harvest phase of the process will contribute the most to negative environmental impacts. According to the study, application of heavy nutrient fertilizer and the machinery needed for the additional agriculture have the potential to contribute over 36 million moles of hydrogen and 89 million CTU eq. to the air, soil, and water
