Abstract:
Reconstructions of the Paleoindian period are archaeology's origin stories about the native people of North America. These reconstructions have strongly emphasized great differences between recent and ancient Native Americans, echoing a perspective with its roots in the nineteenth century. One central component of the differences archaeologists have seen lies in the way that Paleoindian groups moved across the landscape. Particularly on the Great Plains, these movements have been seen as unpredictable and nonrepetitive, with this view founded largely in interpretations of evidence from large bison kills. This paper compares the overall patterns of post-Clovis Paleoindian and post-Paleoindian communal bison hunting on the Plains, arguing that there is no evidence of rapid or substantial change in such hunting at the end of the Paleoindian period. Although hunting practices did not remain exactly the same over time, most of the basic characteristics of Paleoindian hunting were common on the Plains for millennia. Only the northern Plains stands out from this, and it does so only within the last 2,000 to 3,000 years, probably in reaction to the development of continent-wide exchange networks. Paleoindians certainly lived different lives than did later occupants of the Great Plains, but the literature significantly exaggerates the magnitude of this difference.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: To date, our Scholars have been highly productive in the conduct of impactful research and have contributed to the literature through dissemination of their findings. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The primary purpose of the Great Plains IDeA Research Scholars Program (RSP) is to support the development and retention of early-career faculty preparing to compete for external funding as clinical-translational research (CTR) investigators. We developed processes for RSP applications, prioritization, and selection criteria. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In year 1, we admitted 4 Scholars and have since added 5 additional Scholars. Scholars are retained in the program until they receive R- or K-level funding or if progress is deemed to be substandard on two consecutive 6-month reviews (no awards revoked to date). Each scholar was assigned a mentor(s) or mentoring team. Each participant developed 1-year goals and a 4-5-year plan that included a refined proposal to collect preliminary data, a timetable for grant submissions (with a focus on R01 applications or equivalent), and personal goals to enhance chances of success. Scholars composed an Individual Development Plan (IDP) with mentor(s) feedback to identify the skills needed to achieve goals. Each Scholar completed pilot work to generate the requisite preliminary data for an extramural grant application. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Over four years, we have had 9 scholars from 4 sites with 51 total applications. All scholars completed required grant writing seminar courses, an 8-hour Responsible Conduct of Research course, and were given access to seminars and workshops sponsored by the Great Plains IDeA CTR. Scholars received 0.5 FTE in research support and $50,000 annual funding to support their research and/or career development activities. Seven of 9 scholars have completed the program to date, collectively receiving an R01 (1), a U01 (1), a K23 (1), a VA Career Development Award (1), or COBRE pilot projects leadership roles (3). All remain active faculty at their institution. Two remaining scholars are working towards independent funding: both have submitted extramural grant applications with anticipated funding this year. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: To date, our Scholars have been highly productive in the conduct of impactful research. They have submitted 36 grants; culminating in 27 funded projects and >$7.5 million in total funding for 7 graduates. They have disseminated their findings through 121 publications and 48 invited regional/national presentations.

Public universities cite their economic impact to help justify state financial support, but the literature offers no comprehensive theory that can guide analysis of such claims. This research used qualitative methodology to complement the ubiquitous economic impact studies, and showed that mission, leadership and geography determine how public institutions impact on economic development and entrepreneurship in small towns on the Great Plains.

Abstract:
In July 1947, the Cuban Author Alejo Carpentier traveled from his home in caracas to the sparsely inhabited interior of venezuela, visiting the country's tropical forests and its great plains. At the time, Carpentier was known principally as a music critic and newspaper columnist for El Nacional in Venezuela and Carteles in Cuba; he had yet to publish El reino de este mundo (The Kingdom of This World; 1949), which would launch his career as a novelist and earn him international renown. Carpentier later wrote a novel about a trip much like the one he took in 1947. In the now-canonical Los pasos perdidos (The Lost Steps; 1953), a failed composer finds inspiration by traveling from a cosmopolitan city to the tropical forests of South America. Carpentier's creativity was similarly sparked by his trip to the Venezuelan wilderness, as his travel diary Notas del viaje a la Gran Sabana (Notes on the Trip to the Great Savannah) makes clear. Notas is the only contemporary account of the journey written by Carpentier, who later made contradictory statements about the details and even the number of trips he took. Beyond its documentary value, the travel diary reveals that Carpentier's experience was deeply enmeshed with his readings, a characteristic that also marks the narrator-protagonist of Los pasos perdidos. Moreover, Notas is of broad ecocritical and historical significance because it makes clear the extent to which the forests and plains of South America were changing during Venezuela's boom in oil drilling and gold mining in the 1940s. Inspired by what he witnessed in Venezuela, Carpentier created the central drama of Los pasos perdidos out of his protagonist's desire to inhabit what the author called the “mundo del Genesis” (“world of Genesis”) at a time when extractive industries were rapidly transforming the economies, ecologies, and societies of the region (“La Gran Sabana” 32).

Full text
Abstract:
This master's thesis explores the intersections of labor, socioeconomic class, and constructed American Indian masculinities in the literature of indigenous writers of the Great Plains published after the Native American Renaissance of the late 1960s. By engaging scholars and theorists from multiple disciplines--including Native labor historians such as Colleen O'Neill and Alexandra Harmon, (trans)indigenous studies scholars such as Chadwick Allen and Philip Deloria, and Native literary and cultural critics such as Gerald Vizenor and Louis Owens--this thesis offers an American Studies approach to definitions and expressions of work, wealth, and masculinity in American Indian literature of the Great Plains. With chapters on D'Arcy McNickle's posthumous Wind From an Enemy Sky (1978), Carter Revard's poetry and mixed-genre memoirs, and Thomas King's Truth and Bright Water (1999), this thesis emphasizes the roles of cross-cultural apprenticeships for young Native protagonists whose socioeconomic opportunities are often obstructed, threatened, or complicated by dams, roads, and bridges, both literal and metaphorical, as they seek ways to engage (or circumvent) the capitalist marketplace on their own terms. In highlighting each protagonist's relationship to blood (family and community), land, and memory, the chapters reveal how the respective Native authors challenge and reimagine stereotypes regarding Native workers and offer more complicated and nuanced discussions of Native "traditions" in modernity.

Abstract:
This is the first of three parts in the first of three planned novels, collectively called The Great Plains Trilogy, which takes place between 1841 and 1845. Set against such historical events as the Battle of Plum Creek and the Texas Council House Fight, Part One follows Lock (a.k.a. Aidan Plainfield) in 1841, whose wife and daughter were killed by Comanches during the Victoria raid of 1840. Since the raid, Lock has left his life behind, surviving alone in the Great Plains. One morning he discovers that Comanches have stolen his horse, and he sets off to recover it. Along the way, he meets Mr. Pendleton, an Englishman who has been injured by Comanches, and Raymond Wales, a thief who has been mysteriously left to hang in the middle of the woods. Mr. Pendleton and Raymond Wales, each of whom have their own mysterious motivations, join Lock on his journey.

Full text
Abstract:
The Great Plains are prevalent among the literature of the nineteenth century, but receive hardly a single representation among the landscapes of the Hudson River School. This is certainly surprising; the public was teeming with interest in the Midwest and yet the principal landscape painters who aimed to represent and idealize a burgeoning America offered hardly a glance past the Mississippi River. This geographical silence is the result of a tension between idealistic and empirical representations of the land, one echoed in James Fenimore Cooper’s The Prairie, Washington Irving’s A Tour on the Prairies, and Margaret Fuller’s Summer on the Lakes, in 1843. Margaret Fuller’s more physical and intimate Transcendentalism unifies this tension in a manner that heralds the rise of the Luminists and the plains-scapes of Worthington Whittredge.

Full text
Abstract:
This qualitative study comparing three separate English-language versions of a single Dakota cultural myth "Iktomi" presents a novel systematic approach for analyzing Native American folk tales to understand how stories function as tools of transmission of cultural information and knowledge. The method involved coding character traits according to type with regard to representation, ability, or attribute to ascertain patterns among the codes and elucidate character roles and relationships, reorganizing the coded traits into paired polarized correspondences to clarify relationships among traits, and assessing pronoun use and documenter effect pointing to gender-specific character activity. Findings revealed an encoded framework illuminating how the tale is used to represent progressive stages in the Dakota vision quest. Analysis using simple word counts of character traits produced emergent patterns disclosing a male-specific focus on character activities with additional evidence delineating a framework for the vision quest traditionally regarded tribally as a male rite of passage.

Abstract:
A new collection of tree-ring chronologies developed from trees and remnant material located in the western and central Great Plains makes an important contribution to the spatial coverage of the US tree- ring chronology network. Samples from 24 sites were collected from the west-central Great Plains, and to date, ten chronologies have been produced. When correlated with a set of 47 single-station PDSI records, the chronologies display relationships with regional spring and summer drought. The reconstruction of spring PDSI for eastern Colorado generated in this study suggests that the inclusion of Great Plains trees can improve the quality of Great Plains drought reconstructions. The eastern Colorado drought reconstruction explains 62% of the variance in the instrumental record and extends to 1552. This reconstruction provides information about the regional character of major droughts over the past four and a half centuries. Major eastern Colorado droughts include events in the 1580s, 1630s, 1660s, 1730s, and the 1930s. The late 16th century drought, noted as an especially severe drought in the southwestern US, appears in this reconstruction as only slightly more severe than other major droughts in this region.

Abstract:
Research on soil organic carbon (SOC) within the northern Great Plains has not been clearly documented. Objectives of this study were (i) to inventory literature reporting SOC responses to agroecosystem management, (ii) extract data for the Northern Great Plains Rapid Carbon Assessment, and (iii) summarize data to identify relationships between SOC and land use management. Soil organic carbon at 0 ? 15 cm depth was 1.57 ? 6.87 kg C m-2, 1.56 ? 5.34 kg C m-2, and 1.48 ? 5.48 kg C m-2 under grasslands, conservation tillage (CST), and conventional tillage (CT), respectively. Soils with a Productivity Index (PI) of 80 ? 100 had greater mean SOC (4.14 kg C m-2) across all managements. Correlation between SOC and PI for CT was significant (r=0.240) (P=0.05) and highly significant (r=0.418) (P=0.01) for CST. Management practices for cropland soils combined with productivity potential appear to relate to the C accrual potential of northern Great Plains soils.

Great Plains rivers are unique systems that vary from large, continental scale, to small intermittent streams with grain sizes that range from bedrock to cobbles to silt. These rivers have been subject to widespread hydrologic alteration both within the channel and the watershed, which has resulted in an alteration in their hydrologic and geomorphic regimes. Although there is an acknowledgement of this alteration, to date there has not been a synthesis of the hydrology of Great Plains rivers or of their longitudinal morphologies. Chapters in this dissertation provide, to my knowledge, the first comprehensive analyses of the hydrology and morphology of Great Plains rivers over a range of spatial and temporal scales. In the first study, I found that there was no uniform pattern of hydrologic alteration throughout the Great Plains, which is likely attributable to variable system-specific reservoir management objectives, land use changes, and climatic regimes over the large area the Great Plains encompass. Results of this study are the first to quantify the widespread hydrologic alteration of Great Plains rivers following impoundment. In the second study, I found an apparent decoupling between local moisture conditions and streamflow in intermittent prairie streams. Results of this study used statistical models to identify relationships between flow intermittence, mean annual flow, and flood flow characteristics with moisture to characterize flow in an intermittent prairie stream. In the final study, I found that the downstream trends in hydraulic geometry and substrate characteristics of the Ninnescah River were consistent with the expected trends proposed by hydraulic geometry and substrate theories. However, there were points that deviated from the expected trends, most notably where a substantially large tributary enters the Ninnescah River and as the Ninnescah River approaches the Arkansas River, and causal explanations for these deviations were explored. Results of this study are, to my knowledge, the first of its kind to assess the longitudinal hydraulic geometry and substrate characteristics of a large sand-bed river over a large spatial scale. To our knowledge, there have been no comparable studies exist that attempted to describe hydrologic and geomorphic characteristics of prairie streams.

Abstract:
In Great Plains archaeology, differences in projectile point morphologies are used to define typological groups, which are subsequently inferred to reflect unique cultural groups. The goal of this project was to investigate the variability between projectile points dating to the Late Middle Prehistoric period (2,500 – 1,300 BP) since some researchers associate these cultural remains with one group (Besant phase) while others separate them into Outlook, Besant, and Sonota phases/complexes. Metric and non-metric attributes of projectile points from six single component sites, Fincastle, One-Eleven, Happy Valley, Muhlbach, Fitzgerald, and Ruby, were statistically examined. The results showed that basal attributes remain relatively constant, while blade aspects vary greatly. Since the base of a point is considered more typologically indicative than the blade, which is connected to functional aspects, it was concluded that, based on the projectile points, these represent one typological group.

Abstract:
Higher education is co-financed by the state, municipalities, as well as various local and international funds, but the support of individuals and businesses, known as patronage, is playing an increasingly important part. Here, the contributions of alumni are of a great consequence, ranging from cash donations, in-kind donations, volunteering and pro bono contributions. To receive these diverse donations, universities must work diligently on their communications strategy with alumni, current and potential patrons. This strategy should be diversified on the basis of age, gender and wealth. Successful fundraising campaigns are based on a well-thoughtout and ad hoc approach, where each participant clearly understands the goals and objectives of his or her activities.

Abstract:
The multi-criteria evaluation methods of complex systems such as the new and renewable technologies gradually spring up. The feasibility of energy power plants is evaluated and considered from many aspects, such as technology, economic cost and environment protection. However, the energy power plants’ ranking results in different methods or different weighs can be different. Accordingly, the sequencing results should be aggregated and analyzed, and then an integrated result should be given out. Aiming to get the specific evaluation result, 10 kinds of energy power plants, such as hydro, nuclear, wind, geothermal and biomass plants are considered and evaluated. The singular value decomposition method is employed to aggregate the evaluation results in grey relational method, PROMENTHEE II method, and other results from literature. The integrated evaluation result shows that the hydro and nuclear power plants are located on the first place and the renewable energy power plants have great potential development in the future.

Abstract:
Abstract Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) liquefaction plants have become increasingly important as natural gas is exported from the United States of America to markets world-wide. Downtime of any part of the process train (gas turbine, compressors, controls, etc.) due to failure of one or more of its components can result in high costs. The total cost of loss is of great concern to the LNG industry as it moves towards increased LNG exports with required operational efficiency, and downtime reduced to a minimum. This paper reports the application of a methodology of property risk assessment, providing insight into the use of PML (Probable Maximum Loss) and MFL (Maximum Foreseeable Loss) risk measures. Major sources of risk are analyzed, drawing from both technical literature and operational information on typical large LNG liquefaction plants. The outcome of this paper is an estimation of the economic loss associated with property risk for two hypothetical LNG liquefaction plants, based upon sample plants located in North America and characterized by different capacity. These plants represent recently built and commissioned plants and are chosen to take advantage of current technology and plant capacities.

Abstract:
There is data available in the literature showing that more accurate flow measurement of air can be obtained using fractal-shaped orifice plates. Furthermore, energy losses over the fractal orifices were less than for circular orifices of the same area. The design of energy efficient systems is becoming increasingly important, therefore the testing of fractal orifices with fluid systems is of great interest. This present study determined pressure loss and discharge coefficients for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, for fractal shaped orifices plates. Four short orifices, circular, triangular (0-generation), 1st generation and 2nd generation Von Koch fractal-shaped, were manufactured. The orifice plates had the same flow area as the circular orifice of equivalent diameter Deq = 26.2 mm (β = 0.57). This work provides novel experimental results on the performance of fractal orifices for Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquid flow applications. Flow measurement energy conversion efficiency of some 19% can be expected when using the fractal orifices over the standard circular geometry.
