"Previous research has suggested that physical training or exercise improves the development of self-efficacy. Additionally, separate research has suggested that engaging in adventure experiences such as a whitewater rafting, rock-climbing, and mountaineering may also improve the development of self-efficacy. However, there is no existing research that measured the effectiveness of both physical training in conjunction with an adventure experience...

My work centers on the Russo-Finnish Winter War that started on November 30, 1939 and ended with the Moscow Peace Treaty on March 13, 1940. Contextually this conflict fits into the early part of World War II. After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in September 1939, the Soviets turned their territorial interests to the Baltic States and Finland. The popular narrative asserts that the United States, under legal restrictions...

Previous research regarding the transgender experience has indicated there are normative sets of gendered behavior and presentation expectations experienced by transgender individuals in America. While these expectations have been studied in the context of older transgender individuals, little research has been done in reference to the current generation of transgender young adults. Eighty-six transgender young adults participated in an online survey...

Domestic violence has been a cultural taboo. My research began with exploring the historic reality of domestic violence. I looked at the social context of domestic violence and how social movements led to legislation of domestic violence laws. While domestic violence is defined in the state of Colorado as being between two intimate partners, there are often children living in the home where the violence occurs. Recognizing this, I explored the effect...

Acidobacterium capsulatum is an environmental bacterium that is relatively abundant in soil and aquatic environments, prefers pH 3 for optimal growth, and encapsulates itself in a polysaccharide. Little is known about the biochemistry and physiology of this organism, but its genome has been completed and growth conditions have been found that support growth on glucose as a single carbon source. We are focusing on the metabolism of glucose and the...

The majority of the studies conducted on skin tone involve the two dominate racial groups, white and black, rather than other racial minorities. The objective of this study was to investigate how skin tone affects perceptions of attractiveness. Participants (N = 90) rated the attractiveness of computer generated "ethnic" looking females with light skin, medium skin, or dark skin. Based on previous research, we hypothesized that the light skin...

The digraph of a finite field, Zp, denoted ψ(Zp), has p2 vertices. Of these, ((p^2−2)/2) are sources and ((p^2+2)/2) are non-sources, where p is the order of the finite field Zp. If we expand each vertex in ψ(Zp) to a set of q^2 vertices in ψ(Zpq) we can generate all of the vertices in ψ(Zpq). We show that we can count the number of source vertices in any directed graph of Zpq through the expansion of source and non-source vertices in Zp.

The La Plata Mountains are one of several laccolithic complexes in northwestern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado that formed ~70 Ma during the Laramide orogeny. Base metal and tellurium-rich Au-Ag-Hg-PGE deposits formed in hydrothermal systems during or after the emplacement and crystallization of potassic intrusive rocks. The La Plata mining district contains a complex history of mineralization defined by late-stage precious metal deposits. The...

In this presentation I will argue that parental rights are property rights by applying John Locke's theory of property ownership. I will then explore what this theory implies about parental rights when children are abused by their parents, when children are born as a result of rape, and when children are the unintentional result of consensual sex between two persons who did not previously intend to have children together.

In the realms of art and design, it is the finished and presented work that is often valued most by society and individuals. Consumers and viewers have become accustomed to focusing only on the finished piece they see in front of them with little regard to the labor that went into making it. In the fine arts it is sometimes possible to reveal an artistic process or technique within the finished piece, however in the world of digital design the artistic...

Although it is commonly agreed that the ancient Celts practiced human sacrifice, we know relatively little about how and why they engaged in this practice. The Celts did not have a written language to record their practices, so our understanding of how they performed human sacrifice comes from historical accounts provided by Greek and Roman contemporaries and from archaeological evidence of these ritual practices. A cross-cultural comparison of ritual...

For centuries, humans have had a desire to classify everything, including themselves. Society is organized into a system of classes, rules, and conventions. But, how true is this system? Elizabeth Gaskell, a social novelist, seems to address this in her novel North and South. Reviewing the novel, looking at characters and class relations within it, and finding whether or not it fits into a Marxist system and theory like Louis Althusser's reveals Gaskell's...

Evidence suggests advertising may reinforce stereotypes about the demographics of outdoor recreation participation in the United States (Martin, 2004). Addressing this concern, we conducted a content analysis of images containing people in three popular outdoor magazines - Backpacker, Climbing, and Rock and Ice, for the period between 2011-2014 - by quantifying who was represented, in terms of gender, race, and ability. In addition, in images depicting...

As electronic databases of sensitive medical information continue to grow in the medical industry, the necessity for maintaining patient confidentiality within these files while simultaneously making large datasets available for doctors, medical students, and researchers is quickly growing. The potential for incredible medical advancements is unlocked with the distribution of large sets of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) to researchers and the public....
