These recollections include perceptions of the coaches, universities, teammates, family and other lesbian players. I have compared studies previously done on this topic and examine...

Swarms of middle Tertiary mafic dikes are exposed along the northern edge of the San Juan Basin in southwestern Colorado. The emplacement of mantle magmas that gave rise to these dikes was close in time and space to large-scale volcanic events in the adjacent San Juan Mountains. The dike swarms in the area reflect widespread incipient extension and invasion of mantle magmas that could have played an important role in regional magmatic events, but...

The research was specifically designed to be applied towards skiers and snowboarders that are interested in the theory of flow. The hypothesis states that flow will be felt depending on: the emotional feelings felt by the participants, the difficulty of the ski run, and the perceived...

The State of New Mexico established a water law system based on Prior Appropriation in 1848 through the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. This allocation system conflicted with the then current system of Equitable Apportionment. In 1907, the Acequia Act, which created unique bylaws for the Spanish acequia communities, helped to reduce the conflict. Acequias are gravity fed irrigation ditches used primarily by the Spanish population of Northern...

While there are many methods used by athletes to decrease muscle tightness and thus increase range of motion (heating, stretching, joint mobilizations), one of the newest and least studied methods is foam rolling. While purported to increase range of motion, decrease delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and increase athletic performance, there is very little scientific research to date on the validity of these claims, particularly increasing range...

These moments in nature are often called "aesthetic experiences," characterized by total engagement in the present, awe, and conditions of beauty or sensory novelty. Widely described in the literature as experiences which emphasize unity and connectedness, aesthetic experiences may promote inclusive and socially...

Intermediate to mafic intrusive rocks are exposed in the Mount Sneffels stock in the western San Juan Mountains, Colorado. Debate over the timing of pluton emplacement in previous studies impeded an understanding of how this pluton fit into the regional magmatic history. Detailed field studies revealed that the pluton intruded adjacent Oligocene volcanic rocks of the Southern Rocky Mountain volcanic field. However, a previous K/Ar and fission track...

The Rights of Conscience Committee played an integral role in carrying out the mission of the American Friends Service Committee, as well as Quaker testimonies, for the duration of its existence, 1955-1973.

My work centers on the Russo-Finnish Winter War that started on November 30, 1939 and ended with the Moscow Peace Treaty on March 13, 1940. Contextually this conflict fits into the early part of World War II. After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in September 1939, the Soviets turned their territorial interests to the Baltic States and Finland. The popular narrative asserts that the United States, under legal restrictions...
