Join kids as they look at several rescue vehicles.

There are many ways to look at love. It can be exciting and happy. It can be terrifying or tragic. Love can bind us or blind us. We may step into it, run with it, or run away from it. It is necessary and always there even if it is absent. Ten Tales of Love offers ten stories of love but precious little romance.

The Insomniac is a mystery in the tradition of Dragnet and Beach Party musicals. In a world of beatniks, surfers, aerospace engineers and lawn bowlers, a murderer lurks in the foggy alleys behind the Strand.

Headwater streams are common features of forested landscape and provide critical resources to near-stream riparian forests and downstream aquatic habitat. In many small streams in the southern Appalachians, often narrow and heavily shaded, these systems are almost entirely dependent on external input of nutrients. The volume and quality of nutrients available to headwater ecosystems varies through space and time, depending on the species of trees present in riparian forests, the time of year, and the rate of litter-processing by invertebrates. Additionally, nutrients are not distributed uniformly through aquatic ecosystems, and may be moved or aggregated by both physical and biological processes. Despite the perceived greater reliance on allochthonous input, there has been little work to identify how wildlife inhabiting smaller streams are facilitating stream nutrient dynamics both within streams and riparian systems. To increase our understanding of the role of animals in headwater streams, my research investigates the patterns of density, biomass, foraging, and excretion in the Black-bellied salamander (Desmognathus quadramaculatus), the largest, most-aquatic species of salamander occurring in fishless headwaters of the southern Appalachians. Desmognathus quadramaculatus forage both within and directly around streams, spending significant amounts of non-foraging time in stream banks or under partially submerged cover objects. Additionally, D. quadramaculatus have a 3-year larval period in this region and require permanent aquatic habitat for larval development.

The Park City Math Institute 2016 Summer Undergraduate Faculty Program met for the purpose of composing guidelines for undergraduate programs in data science. The group consisted of 25 undergraduate faculty from a variety of institutions in the United States, primarily from the disciplines of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. These guidelines are meant to provide some structure for institutions planning for or revising a major in data science.

This report details the use of a DNA amplification-DNA sequencing methodology that enabled a viral genetic sequence to be determined from infected tissue or allantoic fluid in 18 hours or less. This rapid analytical technique at the genome level of the virus was crucial to effective decision making for control/quarantine of the virus in the field.
