    1. another major theory of color vision is known as the opponent-process theory

      https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-opponent-process-theory-of-color-vision-2795830 This article is a good source for going beyond the book's source material to understand multiple aspects of the opponent process theory.

    2. There is a point in the visual field called the blind spot

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjTCbL2wbRk This video does a good job of describing why we have blind spots.

    3. According to the trichromatic theory of color vision, shown in Figure 5.13, all colors in the spectrum can be produced by combining red, green, and blue.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8_fZPHasdo While this video does not cover the trichromatic theory or color vision specifically, I feel it does do a good job of explaining how we see color produced by red, green, and blue color combinations.

    1. The goal of all scientists is to better understand the world around them

      https://youtu.be/EjyR499Xhvw Scientist use research to help the world and people like in this video it talks about how most people don't receive their heart transplant and even die waiting for a new heart so they created an artificial heart so more people can survive

    2. Scientific research’s dependence on falsifiability allows for great confidence in the information that it produces.

      https://youtu.be/FuVGo3AJhqA Research is what has helped the world evolve and what has helped people gain knowledge. Without research we'd be lost, doctors couldn't help us cure our illnesses, scientist wouldn't be able to give us trustworthy information

    3. In contrast to other methods that people use to understand the behavior of others, such as intuition and personal experience, the hallmark of scientific research is that there is evidence to support a claim

      https://youtu.be/5Stkq9QNQFg Understanding people and their behavior is apart of research and shows why it is important. This is apart of the type of research psychologist do to learn about people.

      This resource gives an overview of what creativity entails. The video tells about the importance of coming up with creative ideas but also combining creative ideas. It also explains how becoming an expert in a certain area leads to more creative ideas because you know the innerworkings behind them.

    2. Multiple Intelligences Theory


      This video will help explain Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory. The video walks through each of the eight intelligences and provides examples as well as visuals for each one.



      This video touches on the idea of street smarts compared with high IQ scores. The video also explains and gives examples of both ideas and poses the idea that a new definition of intelligence may need to be created in order for humans to further their understanding of the topic.

      HS-LS2-7 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

      This paper investigates a means to optimize carbon storage potential through knowledge of biodiversity mechanics and the idea of sinking carbon into plant life in order to lower atmospheric CO2.


      MS-LS1-7 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes

      It is important to understand the nature of the carbon cycle, and how carbon is utilized within organisms as biomass.

      Teacher's Resource:

      The removal of atmospheric CO2 reduces pollution, but it comes at the cost of creating plant conservation sites to store the carbon from CO2.

      This paper focuses upon the utilization of biodiversity in order to to increase carbon storage for economic purposes. By increasing the amount of carbon that can be stored in a hectacre of grassland, it will become much cheaper to reduce pollution via carbon sinks.

      Hungate et. al performed their investigations through past experiments that compared the carbon uptakes of grasslands of varying biodiversity over a period of 50 years.

      Findings support a positive correlation between biodiversity and carbon uptake levels. Therefore, increasing biodiversity in carbon sinks will increase efficiency and will make carbon sequestration more affordable as a result.

      While this paper shows a 'soft cap' (decreasing marginal effects) on these carbon uptake gains from biodiversity, this effect might be proven to have synergy with other efforts to improve carbon sequestration in the future.

      Discussion Questions:

      1. Why does adding to the biodiversity not linearly add to the carbon uptake rates?

      2. Is the resource competition (resulting from biodiversity) limiting or benefiting the flora in carbon sequestration?

      3. What is the 'sweet spot' of biodiversity that optimizes highest carbon storage per dollar spent?

      4. Do the results of this study have qualities that could be generalized to a other grasslands or possibly even other types of habitat? SC

    1. In conformity with the principles of our constitution, which places all sects of religion on an equal footing,

      This line is very important in the document because it establishes the universities intent in religion. The religious intent of UVA is not to have one, it's secular. The basis for this secularism comes from the Constitution's Bill of Rights, "In conformity with the principles of our constitution, which places all sects of religion on an equal footing." This is very different from the charter establishing the College of William and Mary which explicitly stated one of the main purposes of the college was to spread Christianity, "We, taking the premises seriously into our consideration, and earnestly desiring, that as far as in us lies, true philosophy, and other good and liberal arts and sciences may be promoted, and that the orthodox Christian faith may be propagated." UVA was secular and did not even have a religious studies department at its founding. It is interesting to consider how the enlightenment period changed the world of higher education. SUPA FLY LEVI

    2. Canadian Arctic Resources Committee

      The Canadian Arctic Resource Committee (CARC) is an organization that is run by and serves the citizens of Canada in regard to environmental and social changes. CARC was originally developed in 1987 in response to The Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Proposal and contributed significantly to the Commissioner’s Inquiry. CARC has been involved in subsequent pipeline initiatives on the quest to find an optimal, sustainable solution. If it had been successful, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline would be the largest infrastructure in the North. CARC assisted in stopping the implementation of this pipeline due to the environmental detriments, which are further described in Chapter 6 (CARC-Canadian Arctic Resource Committee 2017). CARC works to defend and protect the interests of natives and residents of Canada. CARC encourages northern development, while still maintaining the natural landscape and environmental advantages that native people depend upon. CARC acts as a mediator between governmental advancement and native opinions in order to protect both interests and assist in creating appropriate legislature. After its creation, CARC worked on a national treaty for toxic chemicals and ensured that the Canadian diamond mines were made to be as environmentally sustainable as possible. CARC works as an advocate for Northern natives and develops policy for conscientious use of Arctic resources. CARC supports industrialization and development that works with the environmental conditions and contributes positively to the lives of those who reside in that area. In order to help developers understand native land claims, CARC provides cultural information about native peoples. In addition, CARC releases publications including Northern Perspectives, Northern Minerals Program, Compass, and Voices from the Bay, which provide context into the main issues facing the Arctic and its people (Canadian Arctic Resources Committee 2010).

    1. A system for automating deployment, operations, and scaling of containerized applications originating from Google. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions. Although with a primary accent on web services, I think it (or its ideas) could be of good use for managing collections of the execution environments. There is a nice FLOSS weekly podcast https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/351 which introduces the platform and its abilities.

    1. Approach similar to CDE (http://www.pgbovine.net/cde.html) for wrapping entirety of the execution environment into a redistributable and possibly reusable (? might not grab all dependencies which weren't excercised in particular analysis) bundle
