During the past several decades, the Earth system has changed significantly, especially across Northern Eurasia. Changes in the socio-economic conditions of the larger countries in the region have also resulted in a variety of regional environmental changes that can have global consequences. The Northern Eurasia Future Initiative (NEFI) has been designed as an essential continuation of the Northern Eurasia Earth Science Partnership Initiative (NEESPI), which was launched in 2004. NEESPI sought to elucidate all aspects of ongoing environmental change, to inform societies and, thus, to better prepare societies for future developments. A key principle of NEFI is that these developments …

Constitutional Barriers To Congressional Reform, John M. Greabe

Law Faculty Scholarship

Americans celebrate our Constitution as a beacon that can guide us through difficult situations. And justly so. But at times, the Constitution also has stood as a barrier to necessary reform.


Comparative Study Of Spinning Field Development In Two Species Of Araneophagic Spiders (Araneae, Mimetidae, Australomimetus), Mark A. Townley, Danilo Harms Dec 2017

Comparative Study Of Spinning Field Development In Two Species Of Araneophagic Spiders (Araneae, Mimetidae, Australomimetus), Mark A. Townley, Danilo Harms

Molecular, Cellular & Biomedical Sciences

External studies of spider spinning fields allow us to make inferences about internal silk gland biology, including what happens to silk glands when the spider molts. Such studies often focus on adults, but juveniles can provide additional insight on spinning apparatus development and character polarity. Here we document and describe spinning fields at all stadia in two species of pirate spider (Mimetidae: Australomimetus spinosus, A. djuka). Pirate spiders nest within the ecribellate orb-building spiders (Araneoidea), but are vagrant, araneophagic members that do not build prey-capture webs. Correspondingly, they lack aggregate and flagelliform silk glands (AG, FL), specialized for forming prey-capture …


Data Snapshot: Migration Fuels Largest New Hampshire Population Gain In A Decade, Kenneth Johnson Dec 2017

Data Snapshot: Migration Fuels Largest New Hampshire Population Gain In A Decade, Kenneth Johnson

The Carsey School of Public Policy at the Scholars' Repository

The population of New Hampshire grew by 7,800 between July of 2016 and July of 2017 to 1,343,000 according to new Census Bureau estimates. This is the largest population gain for the state since 2005 and 60 percent greater than last year, though it remains modest compared to gains in the 1980s and 1990s. Migration accounted for nearly all of the growth. New Hampshire had a net domestic migration gain of nearly 4,700 residents in migration exchanges with other states last year, compared to just 1,800 in the previous year.

Which Triggers Produce The Most Erosive, Frequent, And Longest Runout Turbidity Currents On Deltas?, Jamie L. Hizzett, John E. Hughes Clarke, Esther J. Sumner, Peter J. Talling, Michael A. Clare Dec 2017

Which Triggers Produce The Most Erosive, Frequent, And Longest Runout Turbidity Currents On Deltas?, Jamie L. Hizzett, John E. Hughes Clarke, Esther J. Sumner, Peter J. Talling, Michael A. Clare

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Subaerial rivers and turbidity currents are the two most voluminous sediment transport processes on our planet, and it is important to understand how they are linked offshore from river mouths. Previously, it was thought that slope failures or direct plunging of river floodwater (hyperpycnal flow) dominated the triggering of turbidity currents on delta fronts. Here we reanalyze the most detailed time‐lapse monitoring yet of a submerged delta; comprising 93 surveys of the Squamish Delta in British Columbia, Canada. We show that most turbidity currents are triggered by settling of sediment from dilute surface river plumes, rather than landslides or hyperpycnal …

As Opioid Use Climbs, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Rises In New Hampshire, Kristin Smith

Data Snapshot: Working Families With Young Children Are Unlikely To Afford Child Care, Beth Mattingly, Robert Paul Hartley, Christopher Wimer Dec 2017

Data Snapshot: Working Families With Young Children Are Unlikely To Afford Child Care, Beth Mattingly, Robert Paul Hartley, Christopher Wimer

The Carsey School of Public Policy at the Scholars' Repository

Working families with young children face substantial barriers in accessing and affording quality child care. Figure 1 shows that among working families with a child under age 3, those who do not pay for child care are more likely to live in poor or low-income families than those who do pay for child care (61 percent versus 45 percent).
