Item MATH 2210(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2024-10-15)Complete files, lecture notes, projects, and discussions for the course MATH 2210. Archived from the professor Jorge Armando Flores Matute, as part of the University of Wyoming's Open Educational Resources (OER) Grant Program.Item Lecture Materials for Course in Cloud Physics and Cloud Dynamics(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2022-03-01)Lecture Materials for the course ATSC5011. ATSC5011 is a graduate-level investigation of the behavior of clouds and the behavior of hydrometeors within clouds. Topics include cloud dynamics, shortwave and longwave radiation transport through clouds, activation of aerosol to droplets, nucleation of ice crystals, diffusion growth of droplets and ice crystals, and rain and snow development via collection.Item Greater Yellowstone Climate Assessment: Past, Present, and Future Climate Change in Greater Yellowstone Watersheds(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2021-06-01)The Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) is one of the last remaining large and nearly intact temperate ecosystems on Earth. GYA was originally defined in the 1970s as the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which encompassed the minimum range of the grizzly bear. The boundary now includes about 22 million acres (8.9 million ha) in northwestern Wyoming, south central Montana, and eastern Idaho (Figure ES-1). Two national parks, five national forests, three wildlife refuges, 20 counties, and state and private lands lie within the GYA boundary (Figure ES-1). The Tribal Nations of the Eastern Shoshone, Northern Arapaho, Apsáalooke/Crow, Northern Cheyenne, Shoshone, and Bannock have reservations in and near the Greater Yellowstone Area, and 27 Tribes are formally recognized to have historical connections to the lands and resources of the region. Natural resources sensitive to climate change connect many of the major economic activities of the GYA, including tourism and recreation, agriculture, and energy development.Item Information Technology-Assisted Sport Pedagogy and Assessments: Achievements, Lessons Learnt, and Challenges to Overcome(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2024-09-20)Information technology has become an integral part of many people’s lives and is widely applied in many facets of education. For example, technological applications for activity measurement, such as the use of pedometers, heart rate monitors, or accelerometers, are common in physical education research. The ability to provide objective, accurate assessment of students’ physical activity is an important element in Quality Physical Education, a concept adopted by UNESCO, which highlights the role of school physical education in children’s overall well-being development. Nevertheless, similar digital tools are not frequently applied in frontline teaching. Further, unlike the measurement of physical activity quantity, technology-assisted teaching, and assessment tools for the measurement of movement quality are scarce. With motion capturing devices such as infrared depth cameras being very affordable, such technologies could be capitalized to capture and analyze movement skill performances. In this talk, I will share real-life examples of how technology application could be applied to school physical education (and beyond) and explain how these led to enhancements in teachers’ teaching effectiveness and students’ learning experiences in Hong Kong. Challenges faced and potential solutions at technological and implementation levels will be discussed. While some of the challenges have remained partially unresolved, and new obstacles could be expected in the future, the processes of navigating through these barriers have led to new ideas and opportunities, such as the use of artificial intelligence in movement quality assessment. The continuous advancement of technology and data analytical approaches will open doors to novel assessment approaches and methods to tackle research questions that were previously unachievable. By maintaining optimism and being open-minded to new opportunities, researchers and frontline teachers could work in tandem to further shift the field closer to the idealistic goal of delivering Quality Physical Education to all students across the globe.Item Exercise-Induced Microbial Changes in Preventing Type 2 Diabetes(University of Wyoming Libraries, 2024-09-20)ABSTRACT: Exercise has long been applied for the prevention and management of diabetes. However, the global metabolic reshaping induced by exercise and its specific impact on the gut microbiota to produce these benefits have not been fully elucidated. The purpose of this study is to investigate how exercise-induced alterations in the gut microbiome can prevent diabetes and to re-evaluated the link between the microbiota and physical fitness within a cohort of Chinese athlete students cohort.
