description: The development of cyber-physical systems can significantly benefit from domain-specific modeling and requires adequate (meta)-modeling frameworks. If such systems are designed for the safety-critical area, the systems must undergo qualification processes defined and monitored by a certification authority. To use the resulting artifacts of modeling tools without further qualification activities, the modeling tool must be additionally qualified. Tool qualification has to be conducted by the tool user and can be assisted by the tool developer by providing qualification artifacts. However, state-of-the-art domain-specific modeling frameworks barely support the user in the qualification process, which results in an extensive manual effort. To reduce this effort and to avoid modeling constructs that can hardly be implemented in a qualifiable way, we propose the development of an open source (meta)-modeling framework that inherently considers qualification issues. Based on the functionality of existing frameworks, we have identified components that necessarily need to be rethought or changed. This leads to the consideration of the following six cornerstones for our framework: (1) an essential meta-language, (2) a minimal runtime, (3) deterministic transformations, (4) a qualification artifact generation, (5) a sophisticated visualization, and (6) a decoupled interaction of framework components. All these cornerstones consider the aspect of a safety-critical (meta)-modeling framework in their own manner. This combination leads to a holistic framework usable in the safety-critical system development domain.

description: We prove that if u is a bounded smooth function in the kernel of a nonnegative Schrodinger operator $-L=-(Δ+q)$ on a parabolic Riemannian manifold M, then u is either identically zero or it has no zeros on M, and the linear space of such functions is 1-dimensional. We obtain consequences for orientable, complete stable surfaces with constant mean curvature $H\in\mathbb{R}$ in homogeneous spaces $\mathbb{E}(κ,τ)$ with four dimensional isometry group. For instance, if M is an orientable, parabolic, complete immersed surface with constant mean curvature H in $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$, then $|H|\leq 1/2$ and if equality holds, then M is either an entire graph or a vertical horocylinder.

description: The baryon-number density formed in relativistic nuclear collisions, versus the chemical potential of the freeze-out states, is systematically studied on the basis of existing measurements. A remarkable power-law behaviour of the baryon-number susceptibility is found at the SPS, consistent with the existence of a QCD critical point at $μ_{B,c}\simeq 214$ MeV, $T_c\simeq 155$ MeV. The equation of state in different asymptotic regimes of the critical region is also examined and confronted with freeze-out states in these experiments.

title: Improving Accuracy of Large-Scale Prediction of Forest Disease Incidence Through Bayesian Data Reconciliation
Creators: name: Hanks, Ephraim M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Increasing the accuracy of predictions made from ecological data typically involves replacing or replicating the data, but the cost of updating large-scale data sets can be prohibitive. Focusing resources on a small sample of locations from a large, less accurate data set can result in more reliable observations, though on a smaller scale. We present an approach for increasing the accuracy of predictions made from a large-scale eco logical data set through reconciliation with a small, highly accurate data set within a Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework. This approach is illustrated through a study of incidence of eastern spruce dwarf mistletoe (A rceuthobium pusilfom) in Minnesota black spruce (Picea mariana). A Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) operational inventory of black spruce stands in Northern Minnesota found mistletoe ill 11% of surveyed stands, while a small specific pest survey found mistletoe in 56% of the surveyed stands. Through use of Bayesian data reconciliation, cross-validation shows an increase in agreement of the DNR forest inventory with the more accurate specific pest survey from 53% to 76%. Using this model, we predict 35% to 59% of black spruce stands in Northern Minnesota are infested with dwarf mistletoe.

description: Καθ’ όλη την ιστορία του ο άνθρωπος αγωνίστηκε ώστε να υπερνικήσει και να συμφιλιωθεί με τη φύση με κύριο στόχο την επικοινωνία, την επιβίωση του και τη δημιουργία πολιτισμού. Η ανάγκη της επαφής οδήγησε των άνθρωπο σε κατασκευές όπου σκοπό είχαν να ξεπεράσουν τα φυσικά εμπόδια, να μειώσουν τις αποστάσεις και να καταστήσουν τις μεταφορές ασφαλέστερες. Αυτές οι κατασκευές ήταν οι γέφυρες. Αντικείμενο της παρούσας διπλωματικής είναι η ανάδειξη των τοξωτών πέτρινων γεφυρών της Ηπείρου, με περισσότερη έμφαση σε αυτών της περιοχής του Πωγωνίου που κατασκευάστηκαν από τον 18ο έως και τις αρχές του 20ου αιώνα και που αποτελεί την περίοδο που γνώρισαν την μεγαλύτερη ακμή τους. Αποτελούν κατασκευές κτισμένες με τα υλικά που πρόσφερε η ίδια η φύση και αποτελούν κορυφαία στοιχεία της παραδοσιακής γεφυροποιίας και τοιχοποιίας της Ηπείρου. Στόχος είναι γίνει κατανοητή η αξία αυτών των δημιουργημάτων του ανθρώπου τόσο σε χωρικό επίπεδο όσο και σε λειτουργικό και τεχνικό επίπεδο. Στα παρακάτω κεφάλαια θα γίνει ανάλυση της γεωμορφολογίας της περιοχής, των πλεονεκτημάτων που πρόσφεραν τα γεφύρια στους κατοίκους και στις κρατικές αρχές, τις πολιτικές συνθήκες που επικρατούσαν στην περιοχή κατά τη δημιουργία τους, της σχέσης τους με το οδικό δίκτυο, καθώς και όλης της διαδικασίας κατασκευής ενός γεφυριού από την σύλληψη της ιδέας μέχρι την τελική διεκπεραίωση του έργου. Η πολιτιστική κληρονομιά ενός τόπου αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της ιστορίας του και η διαφύλαξη της και ανάδειξης της είναι απαραίτητη για την διαφύλαξη της ταυτότητας της κάθε περιοχής. Τα γεφύρια είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένα με την ιστορία της Ηπείρου και οδήγησαν στην δημιουργία πολλών τραγουδιών, παραδόσεων αλλά και θρύλων. Τα τοξωτά γεφύρια αποτελούν από τις μεγαλύτερες αρχιτεκτονικές ανακαλύψεις πριν την βιομηχανική επανάσταση και είναι κορυφαία δείγματα της πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς της χώρας μας.

description: The purpose of this project is to provide an introduction to how technology can be used in the mathematical classroom to enhance students' learning of mathematics, while at the same time leading students to a richer and deeper understanding of those mathematical concepts. The topics were selected based on their relevance to the Utah State Core Curriculum for middle and secondary mathematics courses. It was intended that each lesson plan would challenge a preservice mathematics educator to build relationships between different areas of mathematics and/or to create deeper understandings of specific mathematical concepts. At the same time many of the lesson plans can be used at the high school level to teach mathematical ideas. The ideas arc not too complex for the secondary level, but their extensions that will hopefully inspire a preservice mathematics teacher to search for deeper understandings. It is hoped that these lessons will promote a desire in the students who work out the activities to create their own lesson plans, plans which relate activities, mathematical topics and technologies together for deeper understanding.

description: In a recent paper, the partition function (character) of ten-dimensional pure spinor worldsheet variables was calculated explicitly up to the fifth mass-level. In this letter, we propose a novel application of Pade approximants as a tool for computing the character of pure spinors. We get results up to the twelfth mass-level. This work is a first step towards an explicit construction of the complete pure spinor partition function.

description: Supernova remnants (SNRs) are important objects in terms of their connections with supernova (SN) explosion mechanism(s), progenitor stars, and cosmic-ray acceleration. Non-thermal emission from SNRs is an effective probe of the structure of their surrounding circumstellar media (CSM), which can in turn shed lights on mechanism and history of the elusive mass-loss of massive stars. In this work, we calculate the time evolution of broadband non-thermal emission from SNRs originating from Type II SNe embedded in a CSM environment linked to the mass loss history of the progenitor. Our results predict that Type II SNRs experience a prolonged period of weak radio and $γ$-ray emission if they run into a spatially extended bubble of low density and high temperature created by the stellar wind during main sequence. For a typical red supergiant progenitor evolved within an average interstellar medium (ISM), this "dark age" corresponds to a range of SNR ages spanning from ~1000 to 5000 yrs old. This result suggests that a majority of Type II SNRs are too faint to be detected, which may help explain why the number of known Galactic SNRs is significantly less than what we expect from the SN rate in our Galaxy.

description: Usually we assume that the distribution of the additive errors in a one-way ANOVA linear model is normal. However, exceptions to this assumption about the error distribution may exist. In such cases, we might consider non-normal error distributions, but proceed with the "usual" ANOVA F-test analyses. This study focuses on simulating power for one-way ANOVA when using non-normal error distributions.

description: We show that the Haldane phase of S=1 chains is characterized by a double degeneracy of the entanglement spectrum. The degeneracy is protected by a set of symmetries (either the dihedral group of $π$-rotations about two orthogonal axes, time-reversal symmetry, or bond centered inversion symmetry), and cannot be lifted unless either a phase boundary to another, "topologically trivial", phase is crossed, or the symmetry is broken. More generally, these results offer a scheme to classify gapped phases of one dimensional systems. Physically, the degeneracy of the entanglement spectrum can be observed by adiabatically weakening a bond to zero, which leaves the two disconnected halves of the system in a finitely entangled state.

title: Home to Harlan: African American Miners' Children Celebration of Homecoming

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: For decades, Harlan County has been studied for its unique characteristics—coal, class, power, and segregation, which have allowed many fields to understand the deeply rooted history of the region. It has become increasingly clear that Harlan County is unlike many other mining regions in the Appalachian area. Harlan County mines developed “model towns” with schools, hospitals, stores and housing for their workers, thus, drawing in migrant workers, native Appalachians, and immigrants. Among these people were African Americans.
African American coal miners’ have been heavily discussed in literature, especially in West Virginia and Alabama. This work focuses on African American mining families in Harlan County, Kentucky.
This work focused specifically on a small mining town in Harlan County, KY named Lynch. “Home to Harlan” explores two main ideas: the formation of community as a way to understand group among African American miners’ children and how community in continued in the present as seen in homecoming. The community formed a social club, the Eastern Kentucky Social Club (EKSC), to reaffirm bonds built in childhood after the decline of coal caused outmigration. This club hosted two annual gathers that encouraged return migration to bolster communal bonds. “Home to Harlan” focused on the Memorial Day celebration and its evolution express that communities can continue gathering despite outmigration and how celebrations are recontextualized to fit the needs of the attendees.

description: The superradiant stability of higher dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes under charged massive scalar perturbation is analytically studied. We extend an analytical method developed by one of the authors in the extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole cases to non-extremal cases. Using the new analytical method, we revisit four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black hole case and obtain that four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black hole is superradiantly stable, which is consistent with results in previous works. We then analytically prove that the five-dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom black holes are also superradiantly stable under charged massive scalar perturbation. Our result implies that all higher dimensional non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black holes may be superradiantly stable under charged massive scalar perturbation.

description: We propose a general approach for the construction of modified gravity which is invariant under foliation-preserving diffeomorphisms. Special attention is paid to the formulation of modified $F(R)$ Hořava-Lifshitz gravity (FRHL), whose Hamiltonian structure is studied. It is demonstrated that the spatially-flat FRW equations of FRHL are consistent with the constraint equations. The analysis of de Sitter solutions for several versions of FRHL indicates that the unification of the early-time inflation with the late-time acceleration is possible. It is shown that a special choice of parameters for FRHL leads to the same spatially-flat FRW equations as in the case of traditional $F(R)$-gravity. Finally, an essentially most general modified Hořava-Lifshitz gravity is proposed, motivated by its fully diffeomorphism-invariant counterpart, with the restriction that the action does not contain derivatives higher than the second order with respect to the time coordinate.

description: Recently, a stock price model is proposed by A. Mahata et al. [Physica A, 574, 126008 (2021)] to understand the effect of COVID-19 on stock market. It describes V- and L-shaped recovery of the stocks and indices, but fails to simulate the U- and Swoosh-shaped recovery that arises due to sharp crisis and prolong drop followed by quick recovery (U-shaped) or slow recovery for longer period (Swoosh-shaped recovery). We propose a modified model by introducing a new variable $θ$ that quantifies the sentiment of the investors. $θ=+1,~0,~-1$ for positive, neutral and negative sentiment, respectively. The model explains the movement of sectoral indices with positive $ϕ$ showing U- and Swoosh-shaped recovery. The simulation using synthetic fund-flow ($Ψ_{st}$) with different shock lengths ($T_S$), $ϕ$, negative sentiment period ($T_N$) and portion of fund-flow ($λ$) during recovery period show U- and Swoosh-shaped recovery. The results show that the recovery of the indices with positive $ϕ$ becomes very weak with the extended $T_S$ and $T_N$. The stocks with higher $ϕ$ and $λ$ recover quickly. The simulation of the Nifty Bank, Nifty Financial and Nifty Realty show U-shaped recovery and Nifty IT shows Swoosh-shaped recovery. The simulation result is consistent with the real stock price movement. The time-scale ($τ$) of the shock and recovery of these indices during the COVID-19 are consistent with the time duration of the change of negative sentiment from the onset of the COVID-19. This study may help the investors to plan their investment during different crises.
title: Contexts and Perspectives for Foreign Language Learning and Teaching
Creators: name: Fallis, Kimberly Paige
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: This portfolio highlights what the author believes are important facets and implementations of second language teaching and second language learning. This portfolio is grounded in two elements: second language acquisition theory and the author’s first-hand observations as a student in the Master of Second Language Teaching (MSLT) program. The target languages focused in this portfolio are English and French.
This portfolio is divided into three main sections. The first section contains the author’s teaching philosophy statement with focuses on student and teacher roles, tasks in the classroom, and the author’s experiences teaching English. After the teaching philosophy statement, there are three research perspective papers with a focus on language, literacy, and culture. The language paper addresses classroom environment(s) and student motivation, the literacy paper concerns the use of creative writing in the second language classroom, and the culture paper explores the second person pronouns—tu and vous—in French. The final section of the portfolio is a collection of annotated bibliographies on key topics related to second language learning and second language teaching. The topics of the annotated bibliographies include first language use in the second language classroom, foreign language anxiety, and student creativity in the classroom. Each annotated bibliography presents different aspects of language learning from a student’s perspective.
This portfolio establishes itself in different theories both in language teaching and in education. This portfolio delves into sociocultural linguistics for learning and communicative approaches to languages; namely sociocultural theory, communicative language teaching, the Zone of Proximal Development, and the Output Hypothesis. There is also focus on second language motivation, and second language theories in regards to social cognition and constructivism perspectives.
title: Assessment of Utah Bankruptcies by Census Tracts: A Spatial Statistical Approach
Creators: name: Pena, Kenneth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: There are two questions raised when looking at the spatial pattern of the rate of bankruptcies in Utah: (i) are there similarities between the bankruptcy data in adjacent census tracts and (ii) can local cluster and outliers be identified within the data? Specifically, are there similar rates of bankruptcies in bordering census tracts and are there any localized areas of interest where we find extremely high or extremely low rates of bankruptcies? This study uses spatial statistics to perform tests for spatial autocorrelation to address these two questions. It also looks at commonalities in the clusters and differences in the outliers. Using a spatial statistical approach, insight is gained regarding the relationship of bankruptcies between census tracts in Utah and how strong that spatial autocorrelation may be.

description: We calculate the shear viscosity of strongly coupled field theories dual to Gauss-Bonnet gravity at zero temperature with nonzero chemical potential. We find that the ratio of the shear viscosity over the entropy density is $1/4π$, which is in accordance with the zero temperature limit of the ratio at nonzero temperatures. We also calculate the DC conductivity for this system at zero temperature and find that the real part of the DC conductivity vanishes up to a delta function, which is similar to the result in Einstein gravity. We show that at zero temperature, we can still have the conclusion that the shear viscosity is fully determined by the effective coupling of transverse gravitons in a kind of theories that the effective action of transverse gravitons can be written into a form of minimally coupled scalars with a deformed effective coupling.

It is shown that its restriction k(it) (the restricted Nevanlinna transform) to the imaginary axis can be expressed as the Laplace transform of the Fourier transform (characteristic function) of the corresponding measure. Finally, a relation between the Voiculescu and the boolean convolution is indicated.

title: Virtual Manipulatives in the Classroom and Resulting Articles and Lesson Plans
Creators: name: Juliana, Cheryl
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Upon coming across mathematical manipulatives generated and produced by Utah State University, as a math teacher, I conducted a classroom teaching experiment in three pre-algebra classes with students of various achievement levels. After teaching the entire year using no manipulatives in the classroom, I tested my students with a general, end-of-year, core criterion, or cumulative test. Their scores were noted. The students in the study group were then given opportunities to try several manipulatives offered on the "National Library of Virtual Manipulatives," both as a class, and alone, and then retested. The following paper gives the parameters of the study, the statistical data surrounding the scores, responses from the students participating in the experiment, and the information found concerning the data collected.

description: We consider the trace map associated with the Fibonacci Hamiltonian as a diffeomorphism on the invariant surface associated with a given coupling constant and prove that the non-wandering set of this map is hyperbolic if the coupling is sufficiently small. As a consequence, for these values of the coupling constant, the local and global Hausdorff dimension and the local and global box counting dimension of the spectrum of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian all coincide and are smooth functions of the coupling constant.

title: Logistic Models with Missing Categorical Covariates
Creators: name: Rounds, Jeremiah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2009

description: We present an EM based solution to missing categorical covariates in Binomial models with logit links using an assumption that experimental units are drawn from a Multinomial population of infinite size. We further address the problem of separation of points inducing large variances on parameter estimates by the use of a novel score-modification based on Firth's bias-reduction score-modification. We simulate to address questions about estimate bias, distribution, and appropriate parameter coverage by Wald intervals.
Phase Structure of Beta-deformed N=4 SYM on S^3 with Chemical Potentials
Creators: name: Elander, Daniel
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the beta-deformation of N=4 SYM on S^3 with chemical potentials for the U(1)_R as well as the two global U(1) symmetries. The one-loop effective potential at weak coupling is computed for both the Coulomb and Higgs branches. At near critical chemical potential and small finite temperature, we find a metastable state at the origin of moduli space. On the Higgs branch, this has the interpretation in terms of deconstruction as an extra-dimensional torus which becomes metastable for infinite size and decays to zero size through quantum tunnelling and thermal activation. At strong coupling, the theory is described by its gravitational dual. The relevant background is found by performing a TsT-transformation on the solution describing an AdS_5 black hole spinning in S^5. A probe-brane calculation, using giant gravitons as probes, reveals qualitative agreement with the weak coupling results.

title: Comparison of Bootstrap and Jacknife Statistical Procedures
Creators: name: Gobena, Amanuel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: This report compares the bootstrapping to jacknifing statistical procedures in terms in bias, confidence interval and estimation of median. Related literature have been reviewed. A bootstrap allows a researcher to get an approximation to the distribution of possibly complicated statistical summaries. It is based on random sampling with replacement from experimental units. Jacknife has also been in operation prior to bootstrapping statistical procedure. The jacknife divides the data into subgroups and obtains partial estimates of these subgroups by omitting one subgroup at a time. When both of these statistical resampling procedures are compared the bootstrap has less bias, more accurate confidence interval and better estimation of the median than the jacknife.

description: We propose an explicit non-linear realization of massive gravity, which relies on the introduction of a spurious compact extra dimension, on which we impose half-Newmann and half-Dirichlet boundary conditions. At the linearized level, we recover the expected gravitational exchange amplitude between two sources mediated by a massive Fierz-Pauli spin-2 field, while cubic interactions in the additional helicity-0 mode give rise to the expected Vainsthein mechanism. We also show that this framework can accommodate for a flat four-dimensional geometry in the presence of a cosmological constant, putting this framework on a good footing for the study of degravitation.

On the Vershik-Kerov Conjecture Concerning the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman Theorem for the Plancherel Family of Measures on the Space of Young Diagrams

description: Vershik and Kerov conjectured in 1985 that dimensions of irreducible representations of finite symmetric groups, after appropriate normalization, converge to a constant with respect to the Plancherel family of measures on the space of Young diagrams. The statement of the Vershik-Kerov conjecture can be seen as an analogue of the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman Theorem for the non-stationary Markov process of the growth of a Young diagram. The limiting constant is then interpreted as the entropy of the Plancherel measure. The main result of the paper is the proof of the Vershik-Kerov conjecture. The argument is based on the methods of Borodin, Okounkov and Olshanski.

title: Comparison of Vestibular Contribution During Stair Ascent, Stair Descent, and Treadmill Locomotion
Creators: name: Kern, Alexander
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Stair negotiation accounts for 16% of fall related traumatic spinal cord injuries and the vestibular system plays a crucial role in fall avoidance through its role in maintaining balance during human locomotion, but its role in stair negotiation is unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the vestibular contribution to a) stair negotiation versus locomotion and b) stair ascent to stair descent in healthy young participants. It was hypothesized that, with cadence held constant, vestibular influence would increase during stair negotiation when compared to locomotion. We also expected the vestibular influence to increase during stair descent vs. ascent. The timing of muscle responses were expected to change due to differences in gait patterns. Differences in vestibular influence were analyzed using time-dependent coherence and time-independent cross-correlation. To probe the vestibular system, we used a random bandwidth limited white noise stimulus and recorded EMG signals from muscles of the lower leg, upper leg, and hip. Participants completed 300 steps on the treadmill at a cadence of 76 steps/min and a velocity of 0.4 m/s (0.9 m/h). Participants also ascended and descended a 9-step staircase for a total of 300 steps at a cadence of 76 steps/min. When comparing stair negotiation to locomotion, we found increases in mean peak coherence values across most muscles, however, only the soleus was significantly different during locomotion vs. ascent (.146 ∓ .080 vs. .259 ∓ .105, p = 0.001). Surprisingly, we also observed decreases in coherence values during stair descent vs. ascent. Finally, differences were seen in the timing of muscle responses when comparing the three conditions. For example, the medial gastrocnemius showed greatest vestibular influence before peak EMG recording during locomotion and stair ascent, but after peak EMG recording on descent. Our findings suggest that the magnitude of difference in the influence of the vestibular system is muscle-dependent. Also, the findings of this study suggest that we rely more heavily on the vestibular system during ascent than descent.
title: An Analysis of Murals Painted by Students at Intermountain Indian School in Brigham City, Utah
Creators: name: Guadarrama, Carlos Junior
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: My plan B thesis argues that Intermountain School in Brigham City, Utah was a progressive development, especially when placed within the context of other Native American boarding schools. I argue my point by conducting a close examination and analysis of several murals painted by prominent indigenous artist Allan Houser and students at the school as well as several other forms of art from Intermountain. In the first chapter of my thesis, I present evidence that demonstrates how damaging Native Boarding schools were for generations of students. I then present evidence which showcases how certain changes paved the way for Intermountain to stand as a more progressive development. In the second chapter, I present evidence that features how the art curriculum at Intermountain led to murals that represent a knowledge of culture and stand as a direct contrast to the ideologies of 19th century boarding schools. I break up the analysis into two segments: murals and significance to Intermountain. The evidence I provide showcases how Intermountain was a progressive development that helped students acknowledge and showcase their cultural heritage on several platforms.
title: Utah Salt Storage Facilities Guidelines and Best Management Practices
Creators: name: Bellon, Weston
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: An environmental analysis was conducted at the Utah Water Research Laboratory of samples gathered from Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) salt storage facilities retention ponds across the state. The analysis indicated high levels of TSS largely made up of minerals directly associated with the deicing solution currently used by UDOT in roadway applications. As a companion to that analysis, best management practices have been identified and compiled to provide a resource for the proper management of salt storage facilities in the state of Utah. Topics included as best management practices include locating new storage facilities, proper salt storage, proper salt handling, and retention and evaporation pond design and maintenance. The application of these guidelines will increase the economic efficiency of deicing procedures as well as protect the environment from potential contamination.
