title: Productivity of Two Utah Deer Herds as Related to Nutrition
Creators: name: Pack, Clarence Leon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: A study of mule deer occupying deer management units 53 and 54 in south central Utah was conducted from August, 1971 to May 1974 to determine food habits, caloric requirements, dietary nutritional levels, and productivity. Transects, fecal analyses, weight data, classification counts, and forage analyses were used to accomplish these objectives.
Food habits of deer on the two units were similar, except for higher use of scrub oak on unit 53 and higher use of snowberry on unit 54.
Deer on unit 54 were significantly larger than those on unit 53. Thus, their caloric requirements also were significantly higher.
Deer productivity and the nutritional quality of deer diets on unit 54 were lower than on unit 53.

description: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common leukaemia in the western world and we conducted this study to explore which disease markers are helpful in predicting time to first treatment in CLL. We found that combining IgVH mutational analysis with testing for the high risk immunophenotypic markers CD38 and CD49d can offer a predictive tool that can differentiate between a standard risk CLL group with long treatment free survival (mutated IgVH and no co-expression of CD38 and CD49d) and a high risk group that progress early post diagnosis and usually requires multiple lines of treatment (unmutated IgVH with no expression of both CD38 and CD49d).
The retinoid acitretin was used to treat psoriasis in a patient with a known history of CLL. Post treatment with acitretin his lymphocytosis improved to normal levels. This case sparked research to investigate the effects of acitretin on CLL cells. The effect of acitretin on the expression of CD49d, CXCR4 and L-selectin was examined. CD49d, CXCR4 and L-selectin represent important cell surface proteins that control CLL cell traffic. In this study acitretin was shown to have no effect on the expression of CXCR4 or CD49d; however, acitretin significantly reduced the expression of L-selectin.
Adhesion of CLL cells to the endothelium in lymph node microenvironment and bone marrow stroma, promotes CLL cell survival and protects CLL cells from spontaneous or drug-induced apoptosis.The effects of acitretin on the adhesion of MEC-1 “CLL like” cells to the endothelium were tested using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). This study indicated that acitretin significantly reduced the adhesion of MEC-1 cells to the endothelium. Similar reduction in adhesion was seen when MEC-1 cells were treated with ibrutinib (BTK inhibitor licensed for CLL treatment). We found that combining ibrutinib with acitretin led to more pronounced reduction in the adhesion of MEC-1 cells to the HUVEC cells.
We finally used western blotting to evaluate if the effects of acitretin on adhesion were mediated through PI3K-p85 pathway. We found that acitretin down regulates PI3K-p85; while ibrutinib has no effect on the PI3K-p85 pathway. This suggests that down regulation of PI3k-p85 pathway can be a possible mechanism through which acitretin reduces CLL cell adhesion to the endothelium.
We conclude that acitretin; a drug licensed for the treatment of psoriasis with limited side effects may potentially be an adjunctive treatment in CLL by enhancing the effects of other anti-CLL agents

Our approach follows the scheme given by Shao, which obtains the existence of maximizers in the context of the Schrödinger equation. The main tool that we use is the linear profile decomposition for the wave equation which we prove in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 3$, extending the profile decomposition result of Bahouri and Gerard, previously obtained in $\mathbb{R}^3$.

title: Irrigation Scheduling Program for Sugarcane
Creators: name: Pearse, Terence L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: An estimate of potential evapotranspiration is acquired to implement an irrigation scheduling program. Four equations, which estimate potential evapotranspiration (evaporation) were evaluated for prediction of Class "A" Pan evaporation. The equations used were Penman's combination equation, the Jensen-Haise temperature and radiation equation, and two of the Christiansen-Hargreaves polynomial regression type equations. Measured and calculated radiation was used together with two values of albedo. Four years of daily climate data from Rhodesia was evaluated by general linear regression methods.
Despite the significant variations between the four annual regression lines of each equation, the use of confidence intervals indicate that the Penman and Christiansen-Hargreaves equation adequately predict Class "A" pan evaporation for irrigation control purposes.
Using class "A" pan evaporation as the measure of potential evapotranspiration for sugarcane, a computerized irrigation scheduling model was developed.
Controlled plant moisture stress was incorporated in the program with an irrigation coefficient related to the limiting effects of low soil moisture on plant transpiration. Five soil moisture regimes and two levels of irrigation were studied.
Within the limits of the defined soil moisture assumptions, the program exhibited considerable flexibility in computation and the control of desired plant moisture stress.
title: A Hydrology Temperature Model for a Small Mountain Watershed
Creators: name: Pettee, Charles Wilson
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: A small mountain watershed located in the Wasatch Mountains of North Central Utah is calibrated to a lumped, deterministic simulation model which is capable of predicting daily streamflow and stream temperature. The input information required is daily precipitation and maximum and minimum air temperatures.
In this study, the area of watershed modeling is reviewed in general and as it specifically applies to the study watershed.
The degree of correlation between observed data and predicted output is only mediocre. The model remains unverified for streamflow prediction and is poorly verified for stream temperature.
title: Household Projections for Utah: 1970-2000
Creators: name: Kan, Stephen Hauwah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: This study deals with Utah household projections by age and sex for five-year intervals from 1970-2000. Projections are based on the method used by the bureau of the Census with certain modifications. Two sets of the population projects prepared by the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station, high and low medium, are chosen as the population base. By assuming the household formation pattern in two alternate ways, constant rates and exponential growth rates, two sets of household projections are prepared for each of the two sets of population projections. This study also makes some examinations on the social and economic implications of these projections.
The 1960 and 1970 census data are used to project the furniture household headship rates. The households are projected in five categories: Husband-wife household, other male family head, female family head, male primary individual, and female primary individual. Being the prerequisite for household projection, the future population distribution by marital status, namely, single (never married), married with spouse present, and other married, is also prepared.

Operator mixing in N = 4 SYM: The Konishi anomaly re-re-visited

Publisher: name: arXiv

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The supersymmetry transformation relating the Konishi operator to its lowest descendant in the 10 of SU(4) is not manifest in the N=1 formulation of the theory but rather uses an equation of motion. On the classical level one finds one operator, the unintegrated chiral superpotential. In the quantum theory this term receives an admixture by a second operator, the Yang-Mills part of the Lagrangian. It has long been debated whether this "anomalous" contribution is affected by higher loop corrections. We present a first principles calculation at the second non-trivial order in perturbation theory using supersymmetric dimensional reduction as a regulator and renormalisation by Z-factors. Singular higher loop corrections to the renormalisation factor of the Yang-Mills term are required if the conformal properties of two-point functions are to be met. These singularities take the form determined in preceding work on rather general grounds. Moreover, we also find non-vanishing finite terms. The core part of the problem is the evaluation of a four-loop two-point correlator which is accomplished by the Laporta algorithm. Apart from several examples of the T1 topology with two lines of non-integer dimension we need the first few orders in the epsilon expansion of three master integrals. The approach is self-contained in that all the necessary information can be derived from the power counting finiteness of some integrals.

Anschließend wird das Framework getestet und bewertet, um zu erfahren, ob es genauso gut in der Praxis wie in der Theorie funktioniert, da es sich hierbei um komplett clientseitige Anwendungen handelt. Im Normalfall benötigen solche Anwendungen nämlich noch zusätzliche Hardware, um zu funktionieren. Die verwendeten Biblitoheken kommen jedoch ohne diese aus, fordern nur eine funktionierende Webcam und bestehen nur auf JavaScript Code. Deshalb stellt sich hier nun die Frage, ob eine rein clientseitige Anwendung vergleichbar gut mit

description: Purpose: This study examines how personal, clinical, and word-level features explain paraphasias when using machine learning–based error analysis on the narratives of people with aphasia (PWA).Method: We used AphasiaBank as the source of narrative transcript data for 236 PWA. We tested machine learning classification algorithms including decision trees and random forests on the utterances of PWA, including nonparaphasic words and intended words when paraphasias were produced. We classified target words as paraphasic or nonparaphasic based on PWA’s age; aphasia severity, duration, and type; presence of apraxia or dysarthria; and word-level features including part of speech, word frequency, imageability, syllable count, and location in the utterance. We measured the models’ predictive accuracy across classification thresholds on held-out test sets, and we used feature analysis to compare feature importance.Results: At the word level, our random forest model achieved an area under curve (AUC) of 0.896. We found a sensitivity of 0.821 for semantic paraphasias, 0.764 for phonemic paraphasias, and 0.872 for neologistic paraphasias. The most salient features, in order of importance, were word frequency, imageability, part of speech, age, severity, and syllable count, followed by aphasia duration, location of word, presence of apraxia, type of aphasia (e.g., fluent), and presence of dysarthria. Our random forest model that included information about surrounding words achieved AUC scores ranging from 0.881 to 0.899. Additionally, we developed a model that was trained on surrounding words and their respective features, but not given the actual error word. The best model achieved an AUC of 0.745.Conclusions: Machine learning can aid in the explanation of paraphasias. In this study, we analyzed word- and person-level features and highlighted the nonrandom nature of paraphasic productions. Furthermore, this lays the groundwork for developing machine learning models with clinical applications at the various stages of treatment of PWA.Supplemental Material S1.

description: We perform Monte Carlo investigations of the 4d ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory on the lattice with dynamical gluinos in the adjoint representation of the SU(2) gauge group. Our aim is to determine the mass spectrum of the low-lying bound states which is expected to be organised in supermultiplets in the infinite volume continuum limit. For this purpose we perform simulations on large lattices, up to an extension $L/r_0 \simeq 6$ where $r_0 \simeq 0.5 \rm fm$ is the Sommer scale parameter. We apply improved lattice actions: tree-level improved Symanzik (tlSym) gauge action and in the later runs a Stout-smeared Wilson fermion action. The gauge configuration samples are prepared by the Two-Step Polynomial Hybrid Monte Carlo (TS-PHMC) update algorithm.

The targum (1969:Oct. 1 - 1969:Oct. 31)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1969

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Physical forces are important cues in determining the development and the normal function of biological tissues. While forces generated by molecular motors have been widely studied, forces resulting from osmotic gradients have been less considered in this context. A possible reason is the lack of direct in situ measurement methods that can be applied to cell and organ culture systems. Herein, novel kinds of resonance energy transfer (FRET)‐based liposomal sensors are developed, so that their sensing range and sensitivity can be adjusted to satisfy physiological osmotic conditions. Several types of sensors are prepared, either based on polyethylene glycol‐ (PEG)ylated liposomes with steric stabilization and stealth property or on crosslinked liposomes capable of enduring relatively harsh environments for liposomes (e.g., in the presence of biosurfactants). The sensors are demonstrated to be effective in the measurement of osmotic pressures in pre‐osteoblastic in vitro cell culture systems by means of FRET microscopy. This development paves the way toward the in situ sensing of osmotic pressures in biological culture systems.
Genetic classification of Pc3 and Pc4 geomagnetic pulsations in mid-latitudes
Creators: name: Ng, Tai Ping
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Dynamic spectra processed from data recorded on magnetic tape at the mid-latitude Ralston station (Alberta) in 1967 have been studied in detail. The Pc3,4 pulsations appear to behave in a much more complicated manner than reported by other observers at low-latitude stations. The variation of the Pc3,4 frequency at Ralston assumes different forms from one day to another, the pattern depending largely upon the general level of magnetic disturbance represented by the K(p)-index. It appears, however, that most of the Pc3,4 spectra analysed may be classified into one of, or a combination of, four well-defined diurnal patterns under steady magnetospheric conditions. An interpretation is offered to explain the existence as well as the fine structure of these four diurnal patterns. The crux of the present interpretation is that Ralston, under moderate magnetospheric agitation, may pick up micropulsation activities originating from the plasmasphere and/or the plasmatrough depending upon its position relative to the plasmapause. Eigen oscillations of modified Alfven mode (poloidal oscillation) in these two magnetospheric regions are considered to be the prime sources of the ground observed Pc3,4 magnetic pulsations. Such suggestion is reinforced by observations made simultaneously at other mid- and high-latitude stations. Other morphological properties of Pc3 and Pc4 are discussed in the light of the new interpretation.

description: I present three relations, striking in their simplicity and fundamental appearance. The first one connects the Compton wavelength of a pion and the dark energy density of the Universe; the second one connects Compton wavelength of a pion and the mass distribution of non-baryonic dark matter in a Galaxy; the third one relates mass of a pion to fundamental physical constants and cosmological parameters. All these relations are in excellent numerical agreement with observations.
Search Channels of Workers and Firms over the Business Cycle

Subjects: subject: 330

subject: search effort
subject: advertisement effort

description: On the one hand, in expansions it is relatively easier for workers to find jobs, so they rely less strongly on their social networks, which means that hiring through referrals should be less frequent in expansions. On the other hand, firms have difficulties to fill their open positions in expansions and rely more strongly on their social networks, which means that referral hiring may be dominating in expansions. Empirical analysis of the IAB Job Vacancy Survey data of the years from 2000 to 2013 and GSOEP data from 2000 to 2014 show that in the long run there is a positive correlation between the GDP and the proportion of workers hired through their social networks. In order to explain the effect of the productivity change on the search and matching strategies of firms and workers, this paper presents a search and matching model with several search channels. The firm chooses advertisement effort through formal search channels to maximize the asset value of an open vacancy. The workers choose their search intensity through formal channels to maximize the asset value of being unem- ployed. Calibration results of the model show that during expansions formal advertisement is not gainful for the firms because of competition. As a result, the firms advertise less, so the proportion of referral hiring should increase. While when the productivity increases, employment becomes more gainful, so the workers exert more effort in search through formal channels. As a result, the proportion of referral hiring should decrease. Both the estimation and the calibration results indicate that the firm-side effect dominates.

description: In this short note, we obtain the necessary and sufficient condition for a class of non-canonical single scalar field models to be exactly equivalent to barotropic perfect fluids, under the assumption of an irrotational fluid flow. An immediate consequence of this result is that the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation in this class of scalar field systems vanishes exactly at all orders in perturbation theory and on all scales. The Lagrangian for this general class of scalar field models depends on both the kinetic term and the value of the field. However, after a field redefinition, it can be effectively cast in the form of a purely kinetic K-essence model.

title: Advanced rotor blade design based on high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics
Creators: name: Fitzgibbon, Thomas Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: This thesis is aimed at expanding the current state of the art in rotor design by combining high fidelity CFD and optimisation methods. Such methods are associated with extremely high computational costs, when optimisation of unsteady flow fields is required such as those encountered by a rotor in forward flight. For this reason, the majority of studies in literature resort to lower fidelity models for forward flight optimisation. To maintain the high fidelity of the Navier-Stokes equations at modest computational costs, an optimisation framework based on an overset adjoint harmonic balance method was developed within the present research, which is the primary novelty of the thesis. Firstly, however, the CFD solver is validated for a range of rotor designs in hover and forward flight, by comparing the performance predictions with available experimental data, and thereby verifying the findings obtained in the rotor design study. The CFD validation also includes a sensitivity analysis of various numerical modelling parameters on the performance predictions including effects of computational setup, grid resolution and turbulence models. The validation studies highlighted the need for more accurate and higher quality experimental data. Based on the CFD validation results, the use of standard performance metrics such as figure of merit and lift-to-drag ratio was assessed for comparing different rotor designs, showing that a dimensional thrust and torque comparison is more informative. A blade solidity study was also performed to inform the correct use of different solidity parameters, in particular, thrust- weighted solidity. The comparison of the different designs used for CFD validation highlighted the subtle aerodynamics involved in advanced planform shapes and the need for numerical optimisation. The developed optimisation framework was applied to the AH-64A rotor blade and showed that significant performance benefits are available through blade planform shape modifications. The final design was validated in hover and forward flight using time-marching calculations. The differences between the harmonic balance and time-marching simulations are analysed in detail along with the sources behind the performance gains for the optimised blade. Finally, a discussion of the favourable rotor design features is conducted along with suggestions for improvements of the optimisation framework.
title: Maintenance Energy Requirements of Free Ranging Goats and Sheep
Creators: name: Oliveira, Ederlon Ribeiro de
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: Measurements of energy expenditures for domestic animals are used as a basis to determine the total energy requirements for maintenance and for production. Most studies on energy metabolism have been conducted under controlled, confinement conditions, and the results extrapolated to free - ranging animals. Such approaches do not always represent the real energy costs of free existence in the range or pasture environment.
This study compared energy expenditures of sheep and goats under free-grazing conditions and assessed the accuracy of the carbon dioxide entry rate technique (CERT) as compared to the oxygen consumption method. In addition, 24-hour activity budgets were used to construct energy budgets for both animal species. These estimates were compared to CERT measurements. Dietary organic matter, crude protein, gross energy, digestible protein, and digestible energy intakes, as well as the apparent digestibility coefficients for crude protein and gross energy were compared for both species in one of the grazing trials.
The validation of CERT yielded the linear regression equation: Y = 0.878 + 5.333 ER where Y energy expenditure in Kcal·min-1, and ER is the C02 entry rate in grams of C02 carbon·min-1. The coefficient of determination (r2) was 0.979, and the residual standard deviation of ± 0.12 Kcal·min-1. Daily energy expenditure of goats was higher (P
High ambient temperatures during one of the grazing trials apparently caused heat stress to the grazing animals. Both species responded to this situation by using behavioral adaptations and avoidance mechanisms.
The energy budget method over-estimated energy expenditures of sheep by 9 percent, and grossly underestimated the energy expenditures of goats by 39 percent.
The nutritive value of the diets selected by both species was similar . However, goats had higher (P< .OS) organic matter, crude protein, gross energy, digestible protein and digestible energy intakes. The apparent crude protein digestibility coefficient for goats was 20 percent higher (P
CERT can predict energy expenditures within ± 8 percent of the mean. It is a feasible technique for assessing energy expenditures of small ruminants under range conditions. The energy budget method was not reliable for estimating energy costs in small ruminants, especially goats.

description: We have identified a new transient luminous low-mass X-ray binary, NGC 6440 X-2, with Chandra/ACIS, RXTE/PCA, and Swift/XRT observations of the globular cluster NGC 6440. The discovery outburst (July 28-31, 2009) peaked at L_X~1.5*10^36 ergs/s, and lasted for <4 days above L_X=10^35 ergs/s. Four other outbursts (May 29-June 4, Aug. 29-Sept. 1, Oct. 1-3, and Oct. 28-31 2009) have been observed with RXTE/PCA (identifying millisecond pulsations, Altamirano et al. 2009a) and Swift/XRT (confirming a positional association with NGC 6440 X-2), with similar peak luminosities and decay times. Optical and infrared imaging did not detect a clear counterpart, with best limits of V>21, B>22 in quiescence from archival HST imaging, g'>22 during the August outburst from Gemini-South GMOS imaging, and J>~18.5$ and K>~17 during the July outburst from CTIO 4-m ISPI imaging. Archival Chandra X-ray images of the core do not detect the quiescent counterpart, and place a bolometric luminosity limit of L_{NS}< 6*10^31 ergs/s (one of the lowest measured) for a hydrogen atmosphere neutron star. A short Chandra observation 10 days into quiescence found two photons at NGC 6440 X-2's position, suggesting enhanced quiescent emission at L_X~6*10^31 ergs/s . NGC 6440 X-2 currently shows the shortest recurrence time (~31 days) of any known X-ray transient, although regular outbursts were not visible in the bulge scans before early 2009. Fast, low-luminosity transients like NGC 6440 X-2 may be easily missed by current X-ray monitoring.

description: We have obtained numerically exact results for the spin-related geometric quantum phases that arise in p-type semiconductor ring structures. The interplay between gate-controllable (Rashba) spin splitting and quantum-confinement-induced mixing between hole-spin states causes a much higher sensitivity of magnetoconductance oscillations to external parameters than previously expected. Our results imply a much-enhanced functionality of hole-ring spin-interference devices and shed new light on recent experimental findings.

description: We present simultaneous optical and X-ray data from Swift for a sample of FSRQs selected from the EMSS survey. We present also a complete analysis of Swift and INTEGRAL data on 4 blazars recently discussed as possibly challenging the trends of the "blazar spectral sequence". The SEDs of all these objects are modelled in terms of a general theoretical scheme leading to an estimate of the jets' physical parameters. Our results show that, in the case of the EMSS broad line blazars, X-ray selection does not lead to find sources with synchrotron peaks in the UV/X-ray range, as was the case for X-ray selected BL Lacs. Instead, for a wide range of radio powers all the sources with broad emission lines show similar SEDs, with synchrotron components peaking below the optical/UV range. Of the remaining 4 "anomalous" blazars, two highly luminous sources with broad lines, claimed to possibly emit synchrotron X-rays, are shown to be better described with IC models for their X-ray emission. For one source with weak emission lines (a BL Lac object) a synchrotron peak in the soft X-ray range is confirmed, while for the fourth source, exhibiting lines typical of NLSy1s, no evidence of X-ray emission from a relativistic jet is found. We reexamine the original "blazar spectral sequence" and suggest that the photon ambient, in which the particle acceleration and emission occur, is likely the main factor determining the shape of the blazar SED.

title: Flume Study of the Effect of Concentration and Size of Roughness Elements on Flow in High-Gradient Natural Channels
Creators: name: Abdelsalam, Mohamed Wafaie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1965

description: In recent years investigators have given increased attention to flow in natural, high-gradient, rough, open channels. Studies include work in both the laboratory and in the field. Solutions to the problem are still incomplete; however, continued attention by investigators is needed to answer many questions. Using a laboratory flume, the writer studied one of the questions concerning the relative importance of gross velocity fluctuations versus turbulent mixing, and the ranges of each under different ranges of submergence and kineticity of flow. In the different ranges, the effect of size and concentration of the roughness elements was studied.
title: The Formation and Properties of Machining Burrs
Creators: name: Gillespie, LaRoux K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The formation of burrs in Machining Operations occurs by three Basic Mechanisms:
1) Lateral Extrusion of material
2) Bending of the chip
3) Tearing of the chip form the workpiece
Each of these mechanisms has been studied analytically and compared to experimental results. The agreement between predictions and measurements has been found to be close.
Drilling, milling, grinding, and turning burrs were produced in 303Se stainless steel and their properties were related to tool geometry, feedrates, and depth of cut. One thousand measurements were made and subsequently analyzed by analysis of variance techniques. The properties measured include burr length and thickness.
Both the theory and the empirical results indicate that burrs cannot be prevented by changing machine variables. Burr size can be minimized, however, by appropriate machining conditions.
title: The Effects of Brief, Localized, Intensive, Social Skills (BLISS) Training on Social Outcomes for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Inclusive School Settings: Form and Function

description: The number of students with autism spectrum disorder is on the rise and more of these students are being served in general education settings. As a result, more school personnel need to be prepared to support students with autism spectrum disorder. Most students with autism spectrum disorder require social supports to function effectively in a general education setting. Previous research indicates that there is a need for efficient social skills interventions implemented by existing school personnel. This study examined the effect of a brief, localized, intensive, social skills training intervention on the social interactions of students with autism spectrum disorder in an in inclusive school setting. The results indicate that this intervention produced meaningful increases in participants’ appropriate social vocalizations and social engagement. We discuss the implications of these results for current practice and future research.

description: Lightening talk at the 2020 AGU Fall Meeting Abstract: The Environmental Data Initiative is an NSF-funded project, actively promoting and enabling curation and re-use of environmental data. Our team consists of highly motivated and experienced data practitioners, software developers, and research scientists. We assist researchers from field stations, individual laboratories, and research projects of all sizes to archive and publish their environmental data in the EDI Data Repository. Our repository grew out of the infrastructure developed by the LTER Network and its design has been informed by 30 years of LTER data management experience. The EDI repository requires that detailed metadata accompany a dataset submission to ensure future reusability of that data. Furthermore, data and metadata must pass extensive congruency checks before being uploaded, ensuring that only high quality metadata and data are archived in the EDI Repository. EDI has developed a user-friendly, web-based metadata editor, ezEML, to make the process of generating metadata accessible to all. To teach scientists to use our system, we also offer one-on-one curation assistance to anyone who requests it and will complete the data publication process ourselves once complete metadata has been submitted. For those wishing to publish data independently of our curation team, we provide ample online guidance and are always just a slack message away. We have also led multiple successful in-person data publishing training workshops to acquaint groups with our resources and are developing an online curriculum so that we can reach more people more efficiently. Datasets published with EDI receive a DOI, making them easily referenced to meet funder and publisher requirements. EDI is committed to enable data that is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).

description: Let $G$ be a connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$. In 1965 Steinberg proved that if $G$ is simply connected, then in $G$ there exists a closed irreducible cross-section of the set of closures of regular conjugacy classes. We prove that in arbitrary $G$ such a cross-section exists if and only if the universal covering isogeny $τ\colon \tG\to G$ is bijective; this answers Grothendieck's question cited in the epigraph. In particular, for ${\rm char}\,k=0$, the converse to Steinberg's theorem holds. The existence of a cross-section in $G$ implies, at least for ${\rm char}\,k=0$, that the algebra $k[G]^G$ of class functions on $G$ is generated by ${\rm rk}\,G$ elements. We describe, for arbitrary $G$, a minimal generating set of $k[G]^G$ and that of the representation ring of $G$ and answer two Grothendieck's questions on constructing generating sets of $k[G]^G$. We prove the existence of a rational (i.e., local) section of the quotient morphism for arbitrary $G$ and the existence of a rational cross-section in $G$ (for ${\rm char}\,k=0$, this has been proved earlier); this answers the other Grothendieck's question cited in the epigraph. We also prove that the existence of a rational section is equivalent to the existence of a rational $W$-equivariant map $T\dashrightarrow G/T$ where $T$ is a maximal torus of $G$ and $W$ the Weyl group.
