Understanding of the local lateral heterogeneity within the Eagle Ford Group, a prolific mudstone reservoir on the Texas Gulf Coast, is hindered by a lack of well-preserved outcrops in close proximity to one another. Misinformation or over simplistic assumptions about relevant horizontal reservoir heterogeneities can lead to sub-optimal or uneconomical exploitation. High-resolution correlation of individual beds in the Eagle Ford Group over several miles in Lozier Canyon and Antonio Creek in Terrell County, West Texas, was used to document lateral variation in thickness, composition, sedimentary structures, and gamma ray response of these strata on a local scale. Physical tracing of the beds on outcrops and within Gigapan photomosaics, hand-held spectral gamma-ray scintillometer profiles, and examination of polished hand samples and thin sections were used to correlate Eagle Ford Group strata across Lozier Canyon and Antonio Creek. The results add value by increasing the understanding of local horizontal heterogeneities and the depositional environments of Eagle Ford Group strata and potentially influencing how and where wells are drilled and completed. Five distinct lithostratigraphic units, termed A-E from the base up, and their subunits, are laterally continuous over several miles in terms of thickness, lithology, and spectral gamma ray response. However, there are notable differences in thickness and sedimentary structures in units A and B. Unit A has the largest difference in thickness (7%), suggesting higher accommodation in the southeast part of the study area. Moreover, sedimentary structures and bed morphology of skeletal packstone beds in unit B, the primary target of horizontal wells in the subsurface, vary over a 4-mi interval from discontinuous lenses to laterally continuous stacked beds. Simulated wireline logs obtained from outcrop exposures suggest that spectral gamma ray data is superior to total gamma ray data in correctly identifying the most desirable sub units for completion. Geochemical data and trace fossil abundance suggest primarily anoxic bottom water conditions during deposition of the Lower Eagle Ford Formation and oxic conditions during deposition of the Upper Eagle Ford Formation. Widespread zones of deformed bedding within the Eagle Ford Group strata typify certain units and were likely caused by paleoseismicity. Laterally extensive bedding plane exposures in Antonio Creek provide three-dimensional views of macrofossils and the bedform morphology that were previously only described from two-dimensional outcrops. Sedimentary structures suggest that units A, C, D, and E were deposited above storm wave base; and deposition of unit B was episodically above storm wave base.

From Rome and Florence to Tuscany and Sicily, this journey of exploration, often on roads less travelled, is full of humour, mishaps and surprises. It is a story that takes the reader into ancient piazzas, local markets, tiny hilltop villages, and along beautiful coastlines, always with some vino at hand and an appreciation of the extraordinary. This is travel writing at its best, providing the reader with a portrait of a truly unique country. A compelling read for any who want to experience the real Italy, to understand its magic and its seduction.

The first of its kind, the Med Ed Booklet and accompanying Passport are a content rich pair of guides that provide mental health medication education and treatment tracking for children, teens, and young adults.The guides contain: frequently asked questions, checklists and other tools to make tracking symptoms, activities and behaviours around medication use easy, medication information, and a glossary. You will find important information about anti-anxiety and sleep medications, antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and stimulants.The guides were created using the best available evidence regarding use, design, impact of medication resources and management of mental illness. The intention is to provide young people, their families, and health care providers with information and tools that help them work together to better track treatment plans for mental illnesses and symptoms of mental illness.The tracking guides also provide a wealth of content-rich information to help the mental health care team make appropriate adjustments to medication to help the patient feel like themselves again.The two documents can work in tandem or by themselves.* The booklet has 8 sections: 1) 26 frequently asked questions (FAQs), 2) medication class information, 3) trackers for activities, symptoms and side effects, 4) checklists with questions when interacting with doctors and pharmacists, 5) medication log, 6) appointment log, 7) notes, and 8) glossary.* The passport is a companion book and is more concise, comprised mainly of checklists and trackers with a few important FAQs included.When brought to appointments with doctors, nurses, pharmacists, etc. it can help with asking the right questions and recording and sharing the right information.* The Med Ed Booklet and accompanying passports are available in colour or black and white.

Luke Patrick is gagged and bound, drenched in gasoline. Claudio holds a flickering Zippo in his face. What had gone wrong? Why were they doing this to him? Luke had done them no harm.This is the focal point of The Pharr Bridge. It is the story of Luke Patrick, a young American whose adventure begins when he receives a phone call from an old friend. That call sets in motion a cascade of events that includes murder, a cover-up, and a desperate run for the Mexican border. Along the way Luke endures an avalanche that entombs him in a mountain cabin, and a storm that sets him adrift in an open boat on the merciless Atlantic Ocean. The physical journey is paralleled by an emotional and psychological one. He suffers painful guilt and remorse. He is betrayed and beaten. But the greatest challenge is his unrequited love for a beautiful prostitute.

Microalgae are capable of accumulating high levels of lipids and starch as carbon storage compounds. Investigation into the metabolic activities involved in the synthesis of these compounds has escalated since these compounds can be used as precursors for food and fuel. This dissertation represents the summary of work completed to evaluate factors that control and stimulate triacylglycerol (TAG) accumulation in microalgae, and demonstrate the use of sodium bicarbonate as a chemical additive to induce TAG accumulation. Two Chlorophytes, Scenedesmus sp. WC-1 and Coelastrella sp. PC-3, were analyzed in pH buffered systems to determine the effect of pH on growth and TAG accumulation, both with and without nitrate deplete conditions. Medium nitrate and pH were found to be independent stress mechanisms and the causal effects of each were determined. Growth and TAG accumulation was optimized on the Chlorophyte Scenedesmus sp. WC-1 and the addition of bicarbonate was shown to arrest cellular replication and induce an elevated TAG accumulation rate. Thus, decreasing the total culturing time required for TAG production by half. To ascertain whether the addition of bicarbonate would give similar results in other algae, the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum Pt-1 and the model Chlorophyte Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were evaluated similar to WC-1. C. reinhardtii showed a cessation of the cell cycle with bicarbonate addition while P. tricornutum Pt-1 did not. However, the addition of bicarbonate was shown to induce lipid accumulation in both organisms. This demonstrates the broad use of bicarbonate as a means of inducing TAG accumulation in microalgae (Chlorophytes and diatoms, freshwater or marine).

This study examined how an intervention in the form of an implicit bias training professional development session in an urban high school impacted the practice of assigning discipline referrals. This study was conducted for a period of 4 weeks, and it included 17 participants. The research question for this study focused on examining whether or not implicit bias training had an impact on improving discipline referral practices in an urban high school. A pre and post quantitative survey was administered to the participants. The results of the surveys showed that there was a measurable decrease in the referral rate, thus showing that the implementation of implicit bias training was able to reduce the discipline referral rate in the study site.
