Fort Lewis College is a small public liberal arts college and is a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges nestled between the San Juan Mountains and canyon country in Durango, Colorado.
Main Objectives 1). How are we defining the Southwest for this course?
2). What are the major differences between the Colorado Plateau region and the San Juan Mountains?
3). What are the major life zones for these areas?
Major Objectives 1. Understand basic community ecology definitions and processes
2. Know the two main hypotheses for why plant communities have different species assemblages

What are the important parameters that need to be defined for a carbonaceous aerosol analysis ? Hélène CACHIER
Laboratoire des
Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l ’Environnement Durando ECOC workshop, March 2003 How should these be documented for different analysis protocols ?
Apoptosis – Programmed Cell Death (True/False) In adult tissues cell death exactly balances cell division
In apoptosis the cell destroys itself from within and avoids leakage of the cell contents into the extracellular space. Why do you think that this occurs via a different mechanism than in necrosis?
What are some signals that indicate to a cell that apoptosis needs to occur? Where do these signals come from?
What are some cellular components involved in the apoptotic pathway?
What is the difference between a mitogen, a growth factor, and a survival factor?
In what phase of the cell cycle do cells exit to undergo apoptosis?
What effects do telomeres and telomerase have on cell aging and death? If you could turn on telomerase activity in all of our cells, would it prevent aging?
Do the following types of cells exist in humans?
Cells that do not grow and do not divide
Cells that grow, but do not divide
Cells that divide, but do not grow
Cells that grow and divide

Treatment History
Mental Hospitals–
Moral Therapy–
Phenothiazines-
Deinstitutionalization –
1800’s tickets to view patients, hosing, twirling, drawing blood
1900’s more decent atmosphere – during Reform movmt – overcrowding and loss of funding
Block dopamine – reduce schizophrenic symptoms
1955 – 550,000; 1980 – 150,000; now 800,000: 25-50% of homeless
