Soil detachment capacity of shallow overland flow in Earth-Rocky Mountain Area of Southwest China

In 1995, the Mountain-Plains Consortium in the Rocky Mountain area initiated TEL8. TEL8 is a satellite-based telecommunications system serving 10 sites in FHWA’s Region 8. Each site consists of in-room audio and video equipment that receives and transmits live sound and picture, coding/decoding compression equipment, and a satellite transmission system. Each site is capable of sending and receiving signals from other sites in several modes of conferencing ranging from broadcast to multipoint two-way conferencing. The goals of TEL8, its development, and lessons learned are presented along with cost data for this cutting-edge technology. The many applications, including formal graduate course work, informally scheduled learning opportunities, and open communication forums, are also discussed. The system provides a network for interaction among the six departments of transportation and four regional universities. A user assessment of this form of distance learning is compared with more traditional forms using results of several client-based surveys.

Areas Of Interest

This autumn, 95 scientists and students from the Rocky Mountain area, along with invited speakers from Colorado, California, Montana, Florida, Louisiana, New York, Maryland, and India, attended the 19th annual meeting of the Rocky Mountain Virology Association that was held at the Colorado State University Mountain Campus located in the Rocky Mountains. The two-day gathering featured 30 talks and 13 posters—all of which focused on specific areas of current virology and prion protein research. The keynote presentation reviewed new tools for microbial discovery and diagnostics. This timely discussion described the opportunities new investigators have to expand the field of microbiology into chronic and acute diseases, the pitfalls of sensitive molecular methods for pathogen discovery, and ways in which microbiology help us understand disruptions in the social fabric that pose pandemic threats at least as real as Ebola or influenza. Other areas of interest included host factors that influence virus replication, in-depth analysis of virus transcription and its effect on host gene expression, and multiple discussions of virus pathology, epidemiology as well as new avenues of diagnosis and treatment. The meeting was held at the peak of fall Aspen colors, surrounded by five mountains >11,000 ft (3.3 km), where the secluded campus provided the ideal setting for extended discussions, outdoor exercise and stargazing. On behalf of the Rocky Mountain Virology Association, this report summarizes 43 selected presentations.
