Time Reversed Smoke Simulation, Jeremy Michael Oborn
Time Reversed Smoke Simulation, Jeremy Michael Oborn
Theses and Dissertations
Physics-based fluid simulation often produces unpredictable behavior that is difficult for artists to control. We present a new method for art directing smoke animation using time reversed simulation. Given a final fluid configuration, our method steps backward in time generating a sequence that, when played forward, is visually similar to traditional forward simulations. This will give artists better control by allowing them to start from any timestep of the simulation. We address a number of challenges associated with time reversal including generating a believable final configuration and reversing entropy.

The Effects Of Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, And Atherosclerosison Fluid Flow In The Lumbar Intervertebral Disc, Jennifer Ann Bowden
The Effects Of Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, And Atherosclerosison Fluid Flow In The Lumbar Intervertebral Disc, Jennifer Ann Bowden
Theses and Dissertations
Physical activity impacts health and disease in multiple body tissues including the intervertebral discs. Fluid flow within the disc is an indicator of disc health that can be observed using diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging. We monitored activity levels of 26 participants, age 35 to 55 yrs, using Actigraph accelerometers for four days to evaluate vigorous-intensity activity, moderate to vigorous-intensity activity, and sedentary time. Participants underwent structural and diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate intervertebral disc health and fluid flow. They also underwent bone density scans, carotid artery ultrasounds, a treadmill test, and a physical exam for pain, range …
Silver-Haired Bats Associated With Abandoned Mines In Colorado Provide Insights Into Winter Habitat And Roost Use, Lea' R. Bonewell, Mark A. Hayes, Nancy Lamantia-Olson, Elijah Wostl, Kirk W. Navo
Silver-Haired Bats Associated With Abandoned Mines In Colorado Provide Insights Into Winter Habitat And Roost Use, Lea' R. Bonewell, Mark A. Hayes, Nancy Lamantia-Olson, Elijah Wostl, Kirk W. Navo
Western North American Naturalist
Herein we present the first published records (N = 5) of silver-haired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) roosting in abandoned mines in Colorado during winter. The records are based on internal surveys of abandoned mines during the winter period from 2004 to 2008. These noteworthy records provide insights into the winter roosting ecology and habitat use of this species in southwestern Colorado.

Landscape Movements By Two Species Of Migratory Nectar-Feeding Bats (Leptonycteris) In A Northern Area Of Seasonal Sympatry, Michael A. Bogan, Paul Cryan, Christa D. Weise, Ernest W. Valdez
Landscape Movements By Two Species Of Migratory Nectar-Feeding Bats (Leptonycteris) In A Northern Area Of Seasonal Sympatry, Michael A. Bogan, Paul Cryan, Christa D. Weise, Ernest W. Valdez
Western North American Naturalist
Animals often migrate to exploit seasonally ephemeral food. Three species of nectar-feeding phyllostomid bats migrate north from Mexico into deserts of the United States each spring and summer to feed on blooms of columnar cactus and century plants (Agave spp.). However, the habitat needs of these important desert pollinators are poorly understood. We followed the nighttime movements of 2 species of long-nosed bats (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae and L. nivalis) in an area of late-summer sympatry at the northern edges of their migratory ranges. We radio-tracked bats in extreme southwestern New Mexico during 22 nights over 2 summers and …
Responses Of Small Mammal Communities To Pinyon-Juniper Habitat Treatments, Mark E. Peterson, Cynthia E. Rebar, Karen S. Eisenhart, Denise I. Stetson
Responses Of Small Mammal Communities To Pinyon-Juniper Habitat Treatments, Mark E. Peterson, Cynthia E. Rebar, Karen S. Eisenhart, Denise I. Stetson
Western North American Naturalist
Small mammals should be considered in wildlife management decisions because they are an important component of ecosystems. We examined small mammal population abundances (N) on 4 habitat treatment types in Colorado pinyon pine (Pinus edulis)–Utah juniper ( Juniperus osteosperma) woodlands on the Uncompahgre Plateau, Montrose, Colorado. We trapped small mammals in Sherman live traps on 4 habitat treatment types—including 2 types of management treatments (chaining, roller chop), sites with high drought-related mortality of pinyon pine, and sites of mature pinyon-juniper (PJ) woodland—on 3 mesas. We modeled detection probability of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) …

Adaptations to stress can occur through epigenetic processes and may be a conduit for informing offspring of environmental challenge. We employed ChIP-sequencing for H3K4me3 to examine effects of early maternal deprivation (peer-rearing, PR) in archived rhesus macaque hippocampal samples (male, n = 13). Focusing on genes with roles in stress response and behavior, we assessed the effects of rearing on H3K4me3 binding by ANOVA. We found decreased H3K4me3 binding at genes critical to behavioral stress response, the most robust being the oxytocin receptor gene OXTR, for which we observed a corresponding decrease in RNA expression. Based on this finding, we …
