The purpose of this course is to give students a working knowledge of the various types of statistical tests used in geology and related sciences. Through computer-based exercises the students will explore the uses and pitfalls of statistical techniques and when certain tests should be done and how to interpret results of tests. Students will be evaluated on how well they can recognize and apply statistical tests to a variety of data sets and problems.
This course is intended to provide an introduction to the geologic aspects of the interaction between people and the environment, and to give a better understanding of how science works. We will discuss the geologic aspects of a range of environmental issues, including: soil pollution, air pollution, landslides, water supply, waste disposal, resources and global climate change.
Aquaporins (Aqps) are integral membrane proteins that facilitate the transport of water and
small solutes across cell membranes. Among vertebrate species, Aqps are highly conserved
in both gene structure and amino acid sequence. These proteins are vital for maintaining
water homeostasis in living organisms, especially for aquatic animals such as teleost
fish. Studies on teleost Aqps are mainly limited to several model species with diploid
genomes. Common carp, which has a tetraploidized genome, is one of the most common
