 | Grand Lake, Colorado has experienced a severe mountain pine beetle outbreak over the past twenty years. The aim of this study was to map lodgepole pine mortality and health decline due to mountain pine beetle. Multispectral data spanning a five-year period from 2006 to 2011 were used to assess the progression from live, green trees to dead, gray-brown trees. IKONOS data from 2011 were corrected to reflectance and validated against ... |

|
| Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) are an endemic mesocarnivore of North America subject to resource and predation-based pressures. While swift fox demographics have been documented, there is little information on the importance of top-down versus bottom-up pressures or the effect of landscape heterogeneity. Using a consumable resource-based ideal free distributionmodel as a conceptual framework, we isolated the effects of resource-based habitat selection on fox population ecology. We hypothesized if swift fox ... |

| In-stream structures constructed of natural materials are increasingly popular on US rivers. Examples include rock weirs that provide an aesthetic means of pooling and diverting flow for irrigation and lake filling. Though considerable progress has been made in the design and construction of these soft engineering structures, most applications to date have been on rivers that are unaffected by ice. Recent experience shows that the presence of ice can have ... |

| Unexploded ordnance (UXO) contamination is a high-priority problem for the Department of Defense (DoD). Recent DoD estimates of UXO contamination across approximately 1,400 DoD sites indicate that 10 million acres are suspected of containing UXO. Because many sites are large in size (greater than 10,000 acres), the investigation and remediation of these sites could cost billions of dollars. However, on many of these sites only a small percentage of the ... |

| Beta-Leptinotarsin-h, purifed from the hemolymph of the beetle Leptinotarsa haldemani, is a potent neuroactive protein that stimulates Ca2+ influx and neurotransmitter release. Our goals were to further characterize beta-leptinotarsin-h and to test the hypthesis that it stimulates Ca2+ influx through presynaptic Ca2+ channels. Analysis of partial amino acid sequences revealed that beta-leptinotarsin-h is a unique protein with significant similarity to only one other protein, the juvenile hormone esterase of Leptinotarsa ... |

| This report presents and describes geophysical logs for six boreholes in Lariat Gulch, a topographic gulch at the former U.S. Air Force site PJKS in Jefferson County near Denver, Colorado. Geophysical logs include gamma, normal resistivity, fluid-column temperature and resistivity, caliper, televiewer, and heat-pulse flowmeter. These logs were run in two boreholes penetrating only the Fountain Formation of Pennsylvanian and Permian age (logged to depths of about 65 and 570 ... |
