Interview With Jesus Villarreal, Jesus Villarreal, Ramon Navarro

Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools (CHAPS) Oral Histories

The interviewee is Jesus Villarreal, owner of the taqueria. Along with many others, he has struggled to keep his small business afloat during this pandemic. He worked at a young age and saved enough to pursue his dream of opening a taqueria alongside his mother, but with recent events it has been an uphill battle. Social distancing measures were taken during the interview to ensure the safety of both parties.

Building An Improved Drought Climatology Using Updated Drought Tools: A New Mexico Food-Energy-Water (Few) Systems Focus, Lindsay E. Johnson, Hatim M.E. Geli, Michael J. Hayes, Kelly Helm Smith

National Drought Mitigation Center: Faculty Publications

Drought is a familiar climatic phenomenon in the United States Southwest, with complex human-environment interactions that extend beyond just the physical drought events. Due to continued climate variability and change, droughts are expected to become more frequent and/or severe in the future. Decision-makers are charged with mitigating and adapting to these more extreme conditions and to do that they need to understand the specific impacts drought has on regional and local scales, and how these impacts compare to historical conditions. Tremendous progress in drought monitoring strategies has occurred over the past several decades, with more tools providing greater spatial and …

Resilient And Rapid Recovery Of Native Trout After Removal Of A Non-Native Trout, Phaedra E. Budy, Timothy Walsworth, Gary P. Thiede, Paul D. Thompson, Matthew D. Mckell, Paul B. Holden, Paul D. Chase, W. Carl Saunders

Watershed Sciences Faculty Publications

While the importance of reducing impacts of non-native species is increasingly recognized in conservation, the feasibility of such actions is highly dependent upon several key uncertainties including stage of invasion, size of the ecosystem being restored, and magnitude of the restoration activity. Here, we present results of a multi-year, non-native brown trout (Salmo trutta) removal and native Bonneville cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii utah) response to this removal in a small tributary in the Intermountain West, United States. We monitored trout for 10 years prior to the onset of eradication efforts, which included 2 years of mechanical …

A Boron Difluoride Hydrazone (Bodihy) Polymer Exhibits Aggregation-Induced Emission, Alexander E. R. Watson, Joe Gilroy, Daniela Cappello

Chemistry Publications

Polymers that exhibit aggregation-induced emission (AIE) find use, for example, as cell-imaging agents and as fluorometric sensors due to their unique optical properties. However, the structural diversity of AIE-active polymers has not necessarily advanced at the same rate as their applications. In this work, ring-opening metathesis polymerization is used to synthesize the first example of a polymer (M_n = 61,600 g mol^‒1, Đ = 1.32) containing boron difluoride hydrazone (BODIHY) heterocycles in its repeating unit. The BODIHY monomer and polymer described absorb and emit in the visible region in solution (λ_abs = 428 and 429 nm, …

Cybersecurity Of The Artificial Pancreas, Daniel Cooke, Andres Guzman, Robert Kinney, Christine Patterson, Josh Stone

VIP 2020

We live in a world of cyber-enabled devices that enhance many aspects of life, including the treatment of diabetes. Type I Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by destruction of pancreatic cells and subsequent deficiency of insulin - a crucial hormone in regulating blood glucose levels. The development of an Artificial Pancreas System is automating the maintenance of this disease by integrating wireless devices to continuously balance blood glucose levels without patient interaction. An integral part of this system is the Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) which wirelessly transmits blood glucose measurements every 5 minutes. CGMs and other Implantable Medical …

Train The Brain Using Virtual Reality Aromatherapy To Detect Memory Loss Diseases, Shannon Crain, Neale Ellyson, Beatrice Dayrit, John Bieter, Peter Müllner

VIP 2020

What comes to mind when you think of baking homemade bread, or hugging a family member, or climbing the tree outside your childhood home? These memories often come with a smell that help bring that memory into focus.

Those with memory loss diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia often demonstrate a difficulty in recognizing scents in addition to their memory loss symptoms. The connection between the olfactory system and the hippocampus, where degeneration due to the disease occurs, is being explored. The aim is to be able to provide a biomarker for diagnosis and a therapy to train the …

“It's All Window Dressing:” Canadian Police Officers' Perceptions Of Mental Health Stigma In Their Workplace, Lesley J. Bikos

Sociology Publications

Purpose: This study will provide a preliminary, general overview of Canadian police officers’ perception of stigma toward mental illness in their workplace culture and its impacts.

Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a mixed methods approach with two nationwide datasets: a self-report survey (N=727) and 116 semi-structured interviews with police officers from 31 police services. Results are grounded in theories of stigma, masculinities, and organizational culture.

Findings: Results indicate that most officers believe stigma toward mental illness in their workplace remains, despite senior management messaging and program implementation. Reporting mental illness was often seen as high risk, both personally and professionally. Policewomen, …

This story was told to me by a bartender in Salmon, Idaho. It happened more than 50 years ago, so I don’t think it will do any harm to tell it now.

The Implementation Of Spirituality In School Counseling, Molly Attoe

Counselor Education Capstones

Spirituality has been identified in empirical literature as a developmental asset for adolescence and a protective factor for areas including mental health, life satisfaction, purpose and behavior. These benefits emphasize the importance of spirituality exploration and development in this stage of life. School counselors, given their professional duties to support academics and social-emotional development, are in a prime position to achieve positive impact. Hesitations and limitations do exist for this practice, however. Lack of consensus and understanding surrounding the difference between religion and spirituality, as well as laws and policies complicating the incorporation of these areas in school have caused …

Home Alone, Mary Ellen Collins

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

John is spending the weekend visiting his mother, which means I am spending three nights on our living room loveseat. I’m afraid of not sleeping near the front door when he’s gone. He doesn’t understand the logic, since my arrangement means I have to turn off the security system in case I need to get up during the night.
