Human by design: from evolution by chance to transformation by choice / by Braden, Gregg(CARDINAL)658783;

"Human by Design invites you on a journey beyond Darwin's theory of evolution, beginning with the fact that we exist as we do, even more empowered, and more connected with ourselves and the world, than scientists have believed possible. In one of the great ironies of the modern world, the science that was expected to solve life's mysteries has done just the opposite. New discoveries have led to more unanswered questions, created deeper mysteries, and brought us to the brink of forbidden territory when it comes to explaining our origin and existence. These discoveries reveal the following facts: Fact 1. Our origin--Modern humans appeared suddenly on earth approximately 200,000 years ago, with the advanced brain, nervous system, and capabilities that set them apart from all other known forms of life already developed, rather than having developed slowly and gradually over a long periods of time. Fact 2. Missing physical evidence--The relationships shown on the conventional tree of human evolution are speculative connections only. While they are believed to exist, a 150-year search has failed to produce the physical evidence that confirms the relationships shown on the evolutionary family tree. Fact 3. New DNA evidence--The comparison of DNA between ancient Neanderthals, previously thought to be our ancestors, and early humans tells us that we did not descend from the Neanderthals. Fact 4. A rare DNA fusion--Advanced genome analysis reveals that the DNA that sets us apart from other primates, including in our advanced brain and nervous system, is the result of an ancient and precise fusion of genes occurring in a way that suggests something beyond evolution made our humanness possible. Fact 5. Our extraordinary abilities--We are born with the capacity to self-heal, to self-regulate longevity, to activate an enhanced immune response, and to experience deep intuition, sympathy, empathy, and, ultimately, compassion--and to do each of these on demand. In this book, New York Times best-selling author and 2017 Templeton Award nominee Gregg Braden crosses the traditional boundaries of science and spirituality to answer the timeless question at the core of our existence--Who are we?--and to reveal science-based techniques that awaken our uniquely human experiences of deep intuition, precognition, advanced states of self-healing, and much more! Beyond any reasonable doubt, Human by Design reveals that we're not what we've been told, and much more than we've ever imagined"-- Provided by publisher

Satellite remote sensing of submerged aquatic vegetation distribution and status in the Currituck Sound, NC / by Nelson, Stacy A. C.(CARDINAL)315507; Hartis, Brett M.; North Carolina.Department of Transportation.Research and Analysis Group.(CARDINAL)272064; North Carolina State University.Center for Earth Observation and Geospatial Sciences.; North Carolina State University.Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 66-68).Final report;Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) is an important component in any estuarine ecosystem. As such, it is regulated by federal and state agencies as a jurisdictional resource, where impacts to SAV are compensated through mitigation. Historically, traditional detection methodologies have been proven to be ineffective or inappropriate for SAV mitigation over very large areas. These tasks are further complicated in that the location and density of SAV can change from year to year depending on variances in weather and water quality. Satellite remote sensing holds great promise for providing a labor and cost-effective means of monitoring and quantifying SAV distribution. For this analysis, sensor specific models based on multinomial logit procedures proved to be the best approach for predicting SAV presence or absence. No models could be developed for low distribution occurrence categories due to a low ratio of events to non-events. Statistical automated selection methods were developed to produce the final models we selected for each sensor. The use of the automated best-subsets method allowed for exploration of a number of potential candidate models based on the number of variables input in the model. The automated stepwise selection method led to the final, most reasonable model as decided upon in the best-subset procedure. For a variable to enter into or remain in the model, a p-value of <0.01 was necessary. A model was considered fit if the Hosmer and Lemeshow test yielded an insignificant difference in groups (p>0.05). Sensor specific models were developed for both the Quickbird and Worldview-II sensors, however LANDSAT 5 specific models were inconclusive largely due to quality of the data.Performed by Center for Earth Observation and Geospatial Sciences, Department of Forestry and Environmental Resources, North Carolina State University, sponsored by North Carolina Department of Transportation, Research and Analysis Group

The trouble with ancient DNA : telling stories of the past with genomic science / by Källén, Anna,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 125-151) and index.Ancient DNA -- Return of the arrows -- A family tree of everyone -- Paleopersonalities -- In defense of the molecule."In recent years, new discoveries yielded through analysis of ancient DNA have made headlines around the world. Can and should we take these stories at face value? In this thought-provoking book, archaeologist Anna Källén provides a concise and accessible guide to the promises and perils of telling stories about the past using genomic science. Acknowledging the power of ancient DNA to rewrite ideas about who we are and where we came from, Källén offers a variety of cautionary examples to demonstrate why such narratives should be received, understood, and crafted with greater accuracy as well as sensitivity. Probing the gaps between the hype and the science, The Trouble with Ancient DNA is required reading for anyone interested in the fascinating findings of paleogenomics"--
