The Colorado River Water Supply Crisis In A Few Graphs: Part 2 Agricultural Water Use In The Lower Basin, Jack Schmidt, Anne Castle, Eric Kuhn, Kathryn Sorensen, Katherine Tara

The Traveling Wilburys of the Colorado River

Reductions in Lower Basin water use during the last four years, including

forecast use in 2026, are similar to the initial targets for Lower Basin shortages

described in the Final Environmental Impact Statement for Post-2026

Operational Guidelines and Strategies for Lake Powell and Lake Mead (FEIS)

and the accompanying Record of Decision (ROD).

6 Lower Basin consumptive

use in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and forecast for 2026 has been the smallest for

the entire 2010-2026 period. These four years of smallest use are between 1.4

and 1.7 million acre feet/year (maf/yr) less than the 7.50 maf/yr amount

Motivating Second-Order Differential Equation Models Beyond The Spring–Mass System, Katherine E. Rutherford, John C. Borger

CODEE Journal

Students in introductory differential equations courses often learn to associate specific equation types with familiar physical systems. While this approach supports procedural fluency, it can inhibit transfer learning: students recognize familiar forms rather than construct models from first principles. This paper presents a modeling-first instructional approach designed to help students recognize the shared structure of second-order differential equations across diverse contexts. Students derive governing equations from fundamental physical laws for multiple systems, including an Inductor, Resistor, and Capacitor (LRC) electrical circuit, a simple pendulum, and viscous pipe flow. Through guided comparison, students identify common components such as inertia, damping, restoring …

Your Own Small Syllabus, Jennifer L. Holberg

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

As an academic, the start of the school year is more the new year than whatever that thing we do in January. I know no other life rhythm, having begun every fall in a classroom since I excitedly hurried off to pre-school in 1972.

And what’s not to love: when I met my class on Monday and reviewed the syllabus, I felt as I always do the absolute privilege of getting to introduce my students to the texts with which we’ll engage this term. It’s like being a hostess at a really good party–you want everyone to meet each other …

Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a key biomarker of mismatch repair deficiency and response to immunotherapy, yet most existing genomic detection methods are optimized for short-read sequencing and rely on a panel of homopolymer markers, limiting the ability to characterize genome-wide and motif-specific patterns of instability. Here we present Owl, a bioinformatic tool for quantifying MSI from long-read (PacBio) genomic data. Owl leverages a genome-wide marker set of more than 140,000 microsatellite repeats ranging from 1-6 bp in length to measure MSI across a phased genome. Using a wrap-around alignment algorithm, Owl constructs repeat-length distributions at each marker site and flags …

Sports Injuries You May Overlook, Sarah Gubara, Greg Canty

Pediatrics in Practice: A CME Podcast

Could this recurring pain or sudden limp mean something more than a sprain? Greg Canty, MD, Medical Director, Sports Medicine Center at Children's Mercy, walks through how to recognize concerning pediatric sports injuries that are often missed. This episode covers X‑ray‑negative knee injuries (patella dislocation, ACL tear, meniscus), pelvic avulsion and transitional ankle growth plate fractures, and overuse conditions such as gymnast wrist, spondylolysis, Little League elbow, and shoulder impingement. Dr. Canty outlines practical red flags—swelling, inability to weight‑bear, point tenderness, pain persisting beyond two weeks in single‑sport athletes, and declines in participation—and explains how assessing training load, sleep, nutrition, …

Is My Child's Pink Eye Contagious?, Sarah Gubara, Jennifer N. Qayum

Pediatrics in Practice: A CME Podcast

Is my child's pink eye contagious and how long will it last? Jennifer Qayum, OD, FAAO, Optometrist at Children's Mercy - Pediatrics in Practice - CME, explains how viral, bacterial, and allergic conjunctivitis spread and how long contagion can persist. She discusses unilateral vs bilateral onset, discharge types (yellow/green versus watery), typical contagious periods for viral cases, and practical prevention steps like hand hygiene and laundering linens to reduce household spread.
