Biological systems are dynamic, but predominant reductionist approaches in biology model these systems with little context of other related systems. Peircean semiotics is a methodology that models a pathway in reference to other levels of organization. In this study, immune response of deer mice infected with Sin Nombre Virus (SNV) is modeled using Peircean semiotics. Results suggest the immune systems of deer mice adopt the virus as a part of self,...

Often, trying to describe how atomic interactions in a structure come to manifest themselves macroscopically is tedious if not impossible when large numbers of molecules or atoms are being considered. One way to more easily approximate the expected behavior of a large system of particles, such as magnetic dipoles, is to consider how the "mean field" produced by neighboring particles near a single particle affects it. In magnetic systems, there is...

The purpose of this study was to assess how the running economy of experienced runners was affected when wearing 4mm and 0mm heel to toe drop shoes as opposed to regular running shoes. Previous studies have shown that barefoot running and running in lower heel to toe drop shoes increases running economy (Squadrone & Galozzi, 2009). The participants (n=23; 18 male and 8 female) were subjected to 3 separate tests that were each 20 minutes....

This study outlines bee and fly pollination habits in a subalpine meadow near Molas Pass in the San Juan Mountains, Colorado, which is an undersampled region for pollinators. The objectives...
