Possible periglacial involution structures exposed in several road cuts within Mesa Verde National Park (MVNP) were documented and analyzed to determine whether the structures originated from periglacial processes. GIS-based surface analyses including slope, aspect, and timberline approximation were performed to favor north, northeast, and northwest facing slopes, low gradient, and timberline above 2,400 meters (7,874 feet). The suitability analysis...

Worldwide honey bee (Apis milifera) populations are in a state of flux, and the corresponding beekeeping profession is in economic distress. An established, primary contributor to honey bee population decline is the aptly-named, ectoparasitic mite: Varroa destructor. These mites both weaken bees' immune systems by feeding on hemolymph fluid (akin to blood), and are attributed as a vector by which viruses are transmitted between beehives. Botanically...

How do we arrive at a set of moral beliefs that is accurate? John Rawls's answer to this question is the method of wide-reflective equilibrium. Wide-reflective equilibrium is the process where an individual compares moral judgements about particular cases, moral principles, and moral theories to pick and choose a set that is coherent. It is unlikely that after an individual has completed wide-reflective equilibrium that they have found an objective...

Project Armeise is an engineering design project with a goal to design, fabricate, analyze, and test an affordable camera mount to be used in the research of sprites, a high altitude electrical phenomenon. Scientific research and exploration has led to the discovery of these large scale electrical discharges in the earth's troposphere. Sprites appear during thunderstorms as reddish-orange flashes of light traveling upwards at high speeds. Recent developments...

In the years leading up to the end of the Cold War, the United States followed along traditional realist notions of foreign policy when considering any actions taken abroad. These realist notions placed U.S. national, security, and economic interests as the priority for any involvement in the international scene. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, a new era of U.S. dominance and leadership came to light, as well as a new global order and new...

"My plays are broken, jagged, filled with sharp edges, filled with things that take sudden turns, careen into each other, smash up, veer off in sickening turns. That feels good to me. It feels like my life. It feels like the world." This is how Charles L. Mee, the playwright who created Trojan Women: A Love Story, describes his plays. Mee's plays are grandiose collages of texts from many sources with no concern for "originality," including...

The resolution limit of imaging systems is ultimately limited by diffraction. However, diffraction is often neglected in the analysis and design of both front and back illumination imaging systems in favor of the simpler ray tracing model. In many systems, paraxial optics provides a reasonable model for the design of systems with high resolution. This is certainly true for the majority of front-illuminated imaging systems; however, in back illuminated...

" This research examines the role of direct democracy in a federal system of government and why states choose to defy federal law. Ever since the adoption of the Constitution, America has been dealing with the issue of delineating which powers are reserved to the national government and which powers are reserved to the states. Scholars of federalism have long theorized about the nature of the relationship between the states and the federal government....
