A 21 000-year record of fluorescent organic matter markers in the WAIS Divide ice core

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Englacial ice contains a significant reservoir of organic material (OM), preserving a chronological record of materials from Earth's past. Here, we investigate if OM composition surveys in ice core research can provide paleoecological information on the dynamic nature of our Earth through time. Temporal trends in OM composition from the early Holocene extending back to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide (WD) ice core were measured by fluorescence spectroscopy. Multivariate parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis is widely used to isolate the chemical components that best describe the observed variation across three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (excitation–emission matrices; EEMs) assays. Fluorescent OM markers identified by PARAFAC modeling of the EEMs from the LGM (27.0–18.0 kyr BP; before present 1950) through the last deglaciation (LD; 18.0–11.5 kyr BP), to the mid-Holocene (11.5–6.0 kyr BP) provided evidence of different types of fluorescent OM composition and origin in the WD ice core over 21.0 kyr. Low excitation–emission wavelength fluorescent PARAFAC component one (C1), associated with chemical species similar to simple lignin phenols was the greatest contributor throughout the ice core, suggesting a strong signature of terrestrial OM in all climate periods. The component two (C2) OM marker, encompassed distinct variability in the ice core describing chemical species similar to tannin- and phenylalanine-like material. Component three (C3), associated with humic-like terrestrial material further resistant to biodegradation, was only characteristic of the Holocene, suggesting that more complex organic polymers such as lignins or tannins may be an ecological marker of warmer climates. We suggest that fluorescent OM markers observed during the LGM were the result of greater continental dust loading of lignin precursor (monolignol) material in a drier climate, with lower marine influences when sea ice extent was higher and continents had more expansive tundra cover. As the climate warmed, the record of OM markers in the WD ice core changed, reflecting shifts in carbon productivity as a result of global ecosystem response..

An experimentally validated immersed boundary model of fluid-biofilm interaction

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Biofilms are colonies of microorganisms that live on wetted surfaces in a matrix consisting of polysaccharides, proteins, and nucleic acids. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), biofilms play a role in over 80 percent of microbial infections in the body and these infections are remarkably difficult to treat with antimicrobial compounds. The objective here is to understand and predict the physical interaction between a biofilm and the surrounding fluid flow.We have developed a biofilm-fluid interaction model, based on the Immersed Boundary Method, to simulate the interaction between the biofilm and a moving fluid. The model predictions of biofilm deformation quantitatively agree with experimental measurements for a range a biofilms using a simple immersed elastic solid to model the biofilm matrix. An immersed viscoelastic solid model is also developed and compared with experimental measurements. The results show that the viscoelastic behavior inherent to the immersed boundary method (even when using a simple immersed elastic solid) is sufficient for some biofilms, but a slightly viscoelastic solid gives more general agreement with experimental measurements.

Growth and physiological responses of subalpine forbs to nitrogen and soil moisture: investigating the potential roles of plant functional traits

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Anthropogenic inputs of biologically available nitrogen (N) and climate change are simultaneously altering N and soil moisture availability in terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, plant responses to concurrent changes in both N and soil moisture in non-grassland ecosystems remain poorly understood. Our objective was to investigate how rooting depth and N-fixing ability—two functional traits we expected to mediate soil moisture and N limitations—influence forb responses to N and soil moisture availability in the Rocky Mountains USA. We assessed the growth and physiological responses (i.e., chlorophyll fluorescence, transpiration rate, and floral display) of four subalpine forb species to N additions across a naturally-occurring soil moisture gradient during one growing season. Soil moisture had a stronger positive effect on growth in shallow-rooted species and N additions had a stronger positive effect on photosynthetic capacity in species without N-fixing abilities. Transpiration rates were not consistent with soil moisture limitations expected for shallow-rooted species, and soil moisture and N had a neutral or negative influence on maximum floral displays across species. Nitrogen and soil moisture appeared to each limit separate response variables in some cases and we did not observe any N × soil moisture interactions. These findings suggest that shallow-rooted species may be more vulnerable to increased drought severity and that increased N availability may disproportionately benefit species without N-fixing abilities. However, mixed support for our hypotheses suggests that environmental conditions and functional traits not evaluated here likely influence subalpine plant responses to soil moisture and N availability.

With drought and heat events increasing in frequency and intensity worldwide, global drought-induced tree decline (Allen et al. 2010, Hammond et al. 2022) has resulted in widespread interest in understanding the physiological mechanisms that underlie tree death. Unprecedented mortality rates threaten forest function and ecosystem services, including carbon (C) sequestration, clean air and water, and recreational and emotional value. Researchers have aimed to understand the mechanisms of tree mortality to better predict which trees will die or survive, inform future forest dynamics and improve forest management practices (McDowell et al. 2008, 2011, Raffa et al. 2008, Sevanto et al. 2014, Gaylord et al. 2015, Adams et al. 2017).

Bulk optical characterization of dissolved organic matter from semiarid wheat-based cropping systems

# _embedded.searchResult._embedded.objects[]._embedded.indexableObject.metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a critical role in the cycling of nutrients and long-term agricultural sustainability. The composition of DOM in soil is likely altered due to management, yet there is limited knowledge on the effect of long-term cropping on DOM chemical character. Here, we characterized water extractable DOM composition along a gradient of soil organic carbon (SOC) affected by differing cropping and tillage intensity in a semiarid climate of the northern Great Plains, USA. Soil samples (0–10, 10–20, 20–30 cm) were collected from conventional till-fallow winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.; Ftill-W), no-till spring pea/oilseed-wheat (Pisum sativum L.; Pg/O-W), and no-till continuous wheat (W-W) fields, and analyzed using UV/Vis absorbance and excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy. The concentration of DOM decreased with depth and was significantly greater (P < 0.05) under W-W or Pg/O-W than Ftill-W. The absorbance at 254 nm (Abs254), a proxy for DOM aromatic nature, indicated that aromaticity decreased with depth and lower biomass-C inputs (i.e. W-W ≥ Pg/O-W ≥ Ftill-W). Multidimensional parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis revealed humic-like (C1, C2), monolignol-like (C3), and protein/tannin-like (C4) components with varying fluorescence intensities as a function of cropping system and soil depth. DOM humification, indicated by the humification index (HIX), increased significantly with depth (P < 0.05) and was higher for Ftill-W (2.95) than W-W (2.61) or Pg/O-W (2.28). Overall, DOM became depleted of plant-derived constituents and was enriched by more decomposed, condensed substances in Ftill-W, as compared to W-W or Pg/O-W soils. DOM composition is strongly affected by cropping intensity and such changes are important drivers controlling SOC accretion in arable soils.

Stereotype-threat theory states that minority students underperform because of the pressure created by negative stereotypes about their racial groups. This qualitive case study will explore how first-year, Native American undergraduate students perceive the possibility of or experience with stereotype threat as shaping their experiences in the light of their Elder’s stories of resilience and coping with adversities. Four Native American undergraduate students (3 first-year students, 1 junior) were recruited to participate in a series of three, 1.5-hour long focus group sessions where they first watch videotapes interviews with Native American Elders and successful MSUB graduate students, who shared stories of their journey thought life, reflecting on their resilience. The first-year students were asked to discuss their feelings towards the videos in the light of their own campus experience that have affected their resilience on MSUB campus. Participants were also asked to describe their personal values and stories of overcoming adversity. The data will be transcribed, analyzed, and coded for theme development. The themes coinciding with each research question will hopefully highlight the complex interactions between the impact of stereotype threats on their academic performance versus the resilience gained through inspirational stories if their Elder and other successful Native American students. The results will further help broaden our knowledge about coping skills used by Native American students, and how they are able to stay resilient in mainstream society.

Experimental determination of the isosteric heat of adsorption at the fluidsolid interface is an important undertaking in the chemical sciences since this fundamental thermodynamic quantity is closely related to the binding energy of the adsorbate on the adsorbent surface. The usual methods employed to calculate the isosteric heat from measured gas adsorption equilibria, however, are unsuited to the treatment of adsorption under a high-pressure adsorptive fluid (where the difference in molar volume between the two phases becomes small and depends significantly on that of the adsorbed phase). Herein we employ a methodological approach to the thermodynamic analysis of adsorption up to high pressures in the supercritical regime, with a specific focus on methane adsorption on microporous carbonaceous materials at T/T c between 1.25-2.75 and P/P c up to 2. The aim is to achieve a meritorious description of the thermodynamics of the adsorbed phase with as few independent parameters as possible. We compare several simple approaches to estimating the molar volume of the adsorbed phase, and demonstrate that among the several well-known sources of error involved in the isosteric approach, that attributed to molar volume estimations is not itself prohibitive to achieving meritorious results. We contrast the isosteric approach with that of the so-called 'isoexcess' methodology, and thereby shed new insights into the key role of the finite adsorbed phase volume in assessments of adsorption thermodynamics.

This study investigates how people have viewed the environment and the terrain of the Gallatin Valley through a cross section of time.  The period during which the region was settled is explored for its impact on the present palimpsest of the landscape.  The choices people made about where to farm and where to site their houses reveals much about their perceptions and attitudes towards the land.  What people thought about its potential and its threats are reflected not only in their journals, but in the physical markings they have made in the form of buildings, fences, roads, and irrigation ditches.

The validity of single-gender education is a debated topic within the field of education. Research on best practices is limited. As part of their 'Strategic Vision,' Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora, Colorado expressed a goal to become a leader in single-gender education. This study seeks to uncover the nature and perceptions of single-gender education at the school as an initial step towards achieving this goal. Surveys and interview were conducted to expose students' and teachers' attitudes and perceptions towards single-gender education. The results indicated primarily positive perceptions and attitudes towards single-gender education from both students and teachers, although there as much variation in the survey data. Girls seemed to have a more positive perception of single-gender education than boys. This action research study showed there is room for improvement in areas of course offerings, school culture, student peer interactions, and teacher professional development related to single-gender education.
