Religion and Political Innovation in Ancient MesoamericaThis chapter was a result of research carried out through a Religion and Innovation in Human Affairs (RIHA) grant from The Historical Society (funded by the John Templeton Foundation). We would especially like to thank the RIHA programme leader and editor of this volume, Donald Yerxa, who offered advice, encouragement and good humour throughout the project. We would also like to thank the people of the lower Río Verde Valley for their friendship and assistance through the years as well as the Consejo de Arqueología and Centro INAH Oaxaca of the Mexican Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia. Additional funding for our archaeological research discussed in this chapter has been provided by grants from the following organizations: National Science Foundation (grants BNS-8716332, BCS-0096012, BCS-0202624, BCS-1123388, BCS-1123377), Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies (#99012 with Stacie King), National Geographic Society (grant 3767-88), Wenner-Gren Foundation (GR. 4988), University of Colorado at Boulder (CARTSS, CRCW, Norton Anthropology Fund, and Dean’s Fund for Excellence), University of Central Florida Office of Research and Commercialization’s In-House grant and start-up fund, Vanderbilt University Research Council and Mellon Fund, Fulbright Foundation, H.

AbstractThis paper presents information concerning a specific undergraduate honors course on the interdisciplinary topic of time. True to the cross-cutting nature of time, the course was both led by and primarily taught by two professors from the distinctly different disciplines of information systems and psychology, respectively. It was offered as a special topic honors course in the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida whose rubric ensured that enrollment was limited to a maximum of twenty undergraduate, honors students only. Additionally, selected auditors were allowed to attend specific, special events. The ceiling on enrollment proved critical since it allowed for a broad, discussion-based exploration of time, led on a number of occasions by specialist guest lecturers drawn from the arts, the sciences, and other speakers from well beyond the traditional confines of academe. There was a high demand for, and an excellent reception of, the course as offered. Due to the external constraints of the two professors involved, it proved to be a unique offering. However, the following description is provided for use by other teachers and professors who might wish to peruse and adopt the basic structure and/or some of the content that was collected and created.

This article examines the corporatization of collegiate media in the United States. Gannett Company, Inc.’s purchase of two university publications, the FSView & Florida Flambeau ( FSView) at Florida State University and the Central Florida Future at the University of Central Florida, have raised concerns regarding the autonomy of the campus press. This article first defines the functions and structures of the campus press and how each contribute to the normative goals and democratic potential of collegiate student newspapers. The article goes on to argue that a corporate ownership structure, despite the alluring rhetoric espoused by corporate media, meets the needs of advertisers and shareholders, not the communities the campus press should serve. Gannett’s purchase of the FSView is examined in depth because it provides a revealing case study of the underlying interests that corporations such as Gannett have in collegiate media.

The University of Central Florida Cogeneration Facility is a state of the art chilled water CHP system using a natural gas fueled high efficiency 60 Hz medium speed reciprocating engine as the prime mover. The facility features one lean burn 5.5 MW 18KU30GSI (MACH II-SI) spark ignition engine, generator, controls, auxiliaries, multi-effect absorption chiller, secondary cooling, and an advanced emissions control system that includes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system and oxidation catalyst (OC). The cogeneration system is located on a constrained site in Orlando, Florida at the second largest university in the United States with a student enrollment of over 56,000. The site is adjacent to a sensitive environmental area to the east, a main thoroughfare to the south, student dormitories to the west, and a lecture hall to the north. The architecture of the new combined heat and power plant was carefully designed to blend with the surrounding campus architecture and sound attenuation methods were employed to minimize noise pollution from the power plant. The new chilled water system was interconnected to the existing campus chilled water facility, therefore requiring coordination with existing chilled water infrastructure as well as other existing electrical, water, sewer, and storm water utilities on the campus. This paper describes the plant load profile, design criteria, engine performance, chilled water production heat balance, and emissions requirements. The economic benefit to the University is discussed including both the impact of self generating power and augmentation of the existing chilled water system. In addition, the benefits of using modern 3-dimensional design tools are outlined for a brown-field location such as the subject site.

Discrimination of a mismatch or single nucleotide substitution (SNS) is challenge due to a minimum pair to pair formation double strand needed to stabilize the structure. Here we present a new approach to atinge the needed stability by using additional segments strains to favored stabilization. The use of additional complementary strains facilitates the discrimination of a SNS in a cooperative way. Keywords: Nuclei acid, Single nucleotide substitution, infection, cancer
