Human T-cell leukemia Virus Type I (HTLV-1) was the first identified human retrovirus, identified in 1980 (1). Infection with HTLV-1 results in adult T-cell leukemia with 5-10% incidence. An estimated 15-20 million individuals worldwide are infected with HTLV-1 (2). Replication of retroviruses, such as HTLV, is dependent upon synthesis of viral structural and enzymatic proteins. Synthesis of HTLV's enzymatic proteins is dependent upon two -1 programmed...

The importance of tribal food systems is strongly related to the health, land, and culture of Native American people. I was interested in exploring the beliefs, knowledge, and perspectives of Navajo Fort Lewis College (FLC) students about tribal food systems and food sovereignty, and determining whether their access to traditional and healthy foods differed between the Navajo Nation and on campus. This study took place at FLC using an online survey...

Porous silicon offers remarkable optical properties which have a wide range of applications. A method to predict the reflectance of arbitrarily etched porous silicon structures using a numerical thin film model is posed. Porous silicon samples were created using an anodization cell of our design and reflectance measurements were compared to the model. The theoretical reflectance curves show a promising correlation to the actual data. More samples...

Acidobacterium capsulatum was cultured from acid mine drainage, has optimal growth at pH 3.0 to 6.0, is a chemoorganotroph, contains membrane menaquinones and its genotypes have been identified in environments worldwide. When these organisms are grown in liquid media with glucose as the sole carbon source under aerobic conditions the cells become "pink," allowing the culture to take on the shade of pink lemonade as the cells transition from log to...
