Final Report To The National Park Service - Colorado State University Cooperative Studies Unit: Vegetational History Of Rock Mountain National Park, Scott Elias, Harvey Nichols

Rocky Mountain National Park

The principal question addressed in this study concerns whether or not the current subalpine ecosystem boundaries are in equilibrium with modern climate, or whether they owe some part of their present distribution to past conditions which no longer exist, and are therefore unusually vulnerable to contemporary damage.

Rocky Mountain National Park: A History, C W. Buccholz

Rocky Mountain National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park: A History is more than just the story of Rocky Mountain in its brief tenure as a national park. Its scope includes the earliest traces of human activity in the region and outlines the major events of exploration, settlement, and exploitation. Origins of the national park idea are followed into the recent decades of the Park's overwhelming popularity. It is a story of change, of mountains reflecting the tenor of the times. From being a hunting ground to becoming ranchland, from being a region of resorts to becoming a national park, this small segment of the …

Yafo, Ha-Te‘Uda Ha-Aduma Street: Remains Of The Al-Hureish Neighborhood From The Late Ottoman Period And British Mandate Era / יפו, רחוב התעודה האדומה: שרידי שכונת אל־הורייש משלהי התקופה העות'מאנית וימי המנדט הבריטי, Ayelet Dayan, Yoav Arbel

Qadum: Journal of Excavation Reports from Israel

The excavation at the corner of Yehuda Ha-Yamit and Ha-Te‘uda Ha-Aduma Streets in Yafo uncovered remains dating to the eighteenth–twentieth centuries CE, including those of the late Ottoman and British Mandate neighborhood of al-Hureish. The earliest construction remains at the site, dated to the second half of the nineteenth century CE, suggest agricultural activity in the area or early residential structures with channels installed for drainage. This construction was later disrupted by a wall, possibly part of the eastern wall of the al-Hureish neighborhood, built in a subsequent phase. The main significance of the excavation was the al-Hureish neighborhood, founded …

System And Method For Preventing Insider Fraud Using Change-And-Revert Pattern Detection In Sensitive Banking Fields, Alok Roy

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure relates to a technique for preventing insider fraud using change-and-revert pattern detection in sensitive banking fields. The technique includes a monitoring framework configured to detect alterations to protected customer identity fields, such as mobile numbers and email addresses, recovery contact, card details, communication preference, or authentication identifiers. An audit trigger logs modification events, capturing details such as old and new values, timestamps, and user identifiers. A change data capture service continuously polls these logs to identify changes and activate cooling-off periods and transaction restrictions upon detection. The policy enforcement module invokes these restrictions, while the fraud pattern …

Skrmetti And The Problem Of Incidental Intent, Martin J. Katz

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

The modern Supreme Court has defined “discriminatory intent” as a strict-liability concept. It does not matter why the government sorts people by a protected characteristic, such as race or sex; it matters only that the government does sort people by such a characteristic. This principle is the key holding of affirmative-action cases, such as Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College. Yet, in the recent case United States v. Skrmetti, the Court seemed to focus not on the question of whether the government sorted people by sex (it did), but on the question …

Experiences Of Stigma And Barriers To Care Among Transgender And Gender Expansive Populations Seeking Mental Healthcare, Amanda Veldorale-Griffin, Elizabeth Banks, Elizabeth Patrick, Judith Cannon, Caidan Thomas Smith

Marriage and Family Therapy Faculty Articles and Research

Transgender and gender expansive (TGGE) people experience increased risk for mental health issues and suicidality, as well as significant barriers to mental healthcare, due to stigma and discrimination, including from mental healthcare providers. A sample of 945 TGGE participants completed self-report surveys, measuring experiences of stigma and barriers to care, and counselor competence. Data were divided into two groups by age and analyzed through linear regressions and one-way ANOVAs. Across groups, participants (approximately 58% of younger participants and 49% of older participants) reported experiencing stigma from a healthcare provider, and all reported some barriers to care, with more than half …

Williamsburg Pact Llc V. Doe

All Decisions

In a licensee holdover involving a RAD/PACT conversion, the court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss. The landlord failed to serve a mandatory Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Notice with the predicate 10-day notice to quit. The court noted that federal regulations define "tenant" to include "an individual or a family renting or occupying an assisted dwelling unit," thus requiring the landlord to serve the VAWA notice on the occupant tenant. This failure was deemed a fatal defect, necessitating dismissal of the proceeding.

165 E. 35th St. Llc V. Gross

All Decisions

The court considered the landlord's motion for a money judgment for unpaid use and occupancy and the tenant's cross-motion to modify a prior use and occupancy order. The court denied the landlord's request for a money judgment, holding that the amended RPAPL § 745 eliminated this remedy, leaving an immediate trial as the sole penalty for non-payment. However, the court granted the tenant's cross-motion, modifying the use and occupancy obligation to 30% of her monthly public assistance cash benefit, effective October 2025, pursuant to RPAPL § 745(2)(c)(i). The proceeding was restored for discovery.

Construction Project Performance Research: A Bibliometric, Scientometric, And Qualitative Review (1989–2023), Abdelnaser Abdelhameed, Mohamed S. Yamany, Ahmed Abdelaty, Emad Elbeltagi

Faculty Publications

Despite the significant increase in publications on construction project performance (CPP), there is a deficiency of research that rigorously assesses and synthesizes previous studies to delineate the field’s development, themes, and research gaps. This article employs quantitative and qualitative methodologies to critically evaluate studies on CPP published over the last three decades and indexed in the Scopus database. The quantitative approach includes bibliometric searches and scientometric analyses to assess the extent of research interest and achievements. The qualitative methodology aims to conduct thorough content analysis to classify existing material based on prevalent themes. The results demonstrate an exponential growth of …

Costs Of Single Maintenance And Reliever Therapy Vs Traditional Therapy For Asthma, Tri Pham, Abigail R Barker, Sarah A Eisenstein, Eliot Jost, Anna Volerman, Krutika Chauhan, Ross C Brownson, Timothy Mcbride, Mark D Huffman, Kaharu Sumino, Lynn B Gerald, Mario Castro, Anne E Dixon, James G Krings

2020-Current year OA Pubs

IMPORTANCE: Despite strong guideline support, single maintenance and reliever therapy (SMART) for asthma is underused in the US. Limited insurance coverage of SMART-compatible inhalers remains a major barrier to its adoption.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the annual asthma management costs of SMART vs traditional therapy from a US health care payer perspective.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This economic evaluation used a probabilistic decision-tree model with Monte Carlo simulations to compare the total asthma management costs for patients prescribed SMART vs traditional therapy, conducting analyses from September 1, 2024, to March 13, 2025. Input data were extracted through a systematic review of …

A Fijian Barkcloth In The May Weber Ethnographic Study Collection, Delaney M. Bahns

Amino acids are essential for the activation and function of CD4 T helper (Th) cells, which differentiate into Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg subsets to coordinate immune responses. While specific amino acid transporters have been identified for Th1, Th17, and Tregs, a transporter regulating Th2 cells remains unknown. This study identifies SLC7A8 as a Th2-specific amino acid transporter in the Th compartment. We found that Slc7a8 expression is upregulated in Th2 cells compared with other T helper subsets, and Slc7a8 deficiency impairs Th2 cell proliferation and cytokine production. Furthermore, SLC7A8 was found to be crucial for an effective type 2 …
