Richards, Ph. D. OreoHelix Consulting Phone: 406.580.7816 Email: [email protected] and Theron Miller, Ph.D. Jordan River Farmington Bay Water Quality Council OreoHelix Consulting 1 Ecological Importance of Benthic Macroinvertebrates in Utah Lake Introduction Benthic macroinvertebrates are a critical component of the ecology and ecosystem functioning of Utah Lake. They are a major link between sediment chemistry, water column chemistry, nutrient cycling, benthic algae, phytoplankton, and Utah Lake’s food web including carp, game fish, June suckers, waterfowl, shorebirds, etc. Benthic invertebrates provide underappreciated but invaluable ecosystem services and are keystone taxa instrumental for the functioning of Utah Lake’ ecosystem. It has become clear that several dominant benthic taxa, primarily chironomids, play a key role in the timing and intensity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the lake. Very few studies have been conducted on the benthic invertebrate assemblages in Utah Lake (Barnes and Toole 1981, Spencer and Denton 2003, Shiozawa and Barnes 1977) and none were conducted at the level and intensity that is presently being accomplished by this group. No study has ever examined the role of benthic invertebrates on HABs in Utah Lake, this is the first. Our research is also an important element of sediment chemistry, nutrients, and food web models that are presently being conducted by us and others on Utah Lake.

A lot of the songs came from conversations about that.” While the powerful, anthemic sound of The Incredible Machine won’t surprise anyone who knows its origins, it might shock country fans used to more down-home sounds. But reinvention is almost as much part of Sugarland’s identity as any one genre. The group grew out of the Atlanta singer-songwriter scene but found immediate success in mainstream country music with its 2004 multiplatinum debut, Twice the Speed of Life. “We’ve turned over a whole lot of new leaves since starting this Stewart Volland band,” says Bush. The trio became a duo when founding member Kristen Hall abruptly Jennifer Nettles, Kristian Bush quit while Sugarland was still riding high on the first album’s success, and some wondered if the shift would upset the group’s unique chemistry.chemistry.

  • American Athena a Feminist Sophistic Analysis of the Discourses of Women Servicemembers
    American Athena A Feminist Sophistic Analysis of the Discourses of Women Servicemembers Nancy Ann Fox A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Gail Stygall, Chair Anis Bawarshi Candice Rai Christine Harold Program Authorized to Offer Degree English © Copyright 2020 Nancy Ann Fox University of Washington Abstract American Athena: A Feminist Sophistic Analysis of the Discourses of Women Servicemembers Nancy Ann Fox Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Gail Stygall Department of English In classical mythology the goddess Athena is the embodiment of strategic intelligence and prowess in war. She inherited these gifts from her mother, Metis, who carried her to full maturity within the body of her father, Zeus, from whose forehead she was delivered, armed for battle. In this guise she serves as representation for the identities created and conveyed in the discourses of American women servicemembers. This study presents a grounded theory analysis of 99 narratives collected from personal interviews and culled from published sources in which women describe and interpret their experiences as enlisted personnel in the U.S. military. This method, discovered in the 1960’s by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss, studies narrative content to discern an emergent theory from that data. Recent renovation of this method by Kathy Charmaz, Adele E. Clarke, and others allows for this theory to align with existing ideas, if relevant and not imposed on the data a priori – which led to the feminist sophistic design of this Athena study, the terms derived from the work of classicist Susan Jarratt and defined by values within the narratives themselves.

  • Network Considerations with the Advantage Network You Get Care at Hospitals and Generally Pay Similar Prices from One to Another
    Introduction Network Considerations With the Advantage network you get care at hospitals and generally pay similar prices from one to another. With the Summit network, some services are available only at hospitals, while others are also available at surgical or imaging centers with prices varying from one facility to the next. With both networks you get access to doctors’ offices, where prices can vary. The Summit network also provides rebates for certain procedures; see Benefits Summary. ADVANTAGE Price estimates for Intermountain Healthcare hospitals Procedure Doctor’s Office Surgery/Imaging Center Hospital Hysteroscopy $567 Not Available $4,165-5,858 Colonoscopy $653 Not Available $1,100-2,225 MRI of Head $536 Not Available $1,931-2,638 Knee Arthroscopy Not Available Not Available $3,279-8,373 Knee Replacement Not Available Not Available $31,485-33,289 SUMMIT Price ranges for IASIS, MountainStar, University of Utah, surgical centers, imaging centers Procedure Doctor’s Office Surgery/Imaging Center Hospital Hysteroscopy $507-567 $1,209-1,638 $3,721-9,532 Colonoscopy $653 $645-1,456 $1,284-2,728 MRI of Head $536 $550 $1,179-1,890 Knee Arthroscopy Not Available $851-1,489 $2,287-7,059 Knee Replacement Not Available $12,800-20,000 $23,961-36,815 *For illustrative purposes only.
