description: A change in management style, combined with increased visitation and the advanced age of guiding documents used to describe conditions and goals (known as Resource Management Plans) in Utah’s State Parks, are leading park managers to potentially not fulfill the objectives stated in their Resource Management Plans. Using a research tool known as “content analysis,” we analyzed the Research Management Plans of ten sample parks and found that written plans had strong priorities and goals regarding the care and management of natural resources. Significant findings included strong emphasis on resource protection, data collection, and research. Pre-written questions were asked of the sample park managers during a phone interview where we discovered a wide divergence from the Resource Management Plans in priorities and actions regarding natural resources. Analysis on the rate of visitation increase compared with the increasing age of the Resource Management Plans and a shift toward greater dependence on Business Plans also showed a departure from the objectives stated in the plans. Recommendations include updating Resource Management Plans, developing basic thresholds for data collection, additional research on Business Plans, and additional resources and training for park managers regarding Resource Management Plans.

description: Braneworld black holes existing today may be of primordial origin, or may even be produced in high energy particle collisions in the laboratory and in cosmic ray showers as well. These black holes obey a modified mass-radius relationship compared to standard Schwarzschild black holes. Using the variational principle we calculate the bending angle of a light ray near the horizon of a braneworld black hole in the weak field limit. We next derive the expressions of several lensing quantities like the Einstein radius and the magnification for a point light source. These expressions are modified compared to the lensing quantities for standard Schwarzschild black holes and contain the scale of the extra dimensions.

description: Characterizing functional trait variation and covariation, and its drivers, is critical to understand the response of species to changing environmental conditions. Evolutionary and environmental factors determine how traits vary among and within species at multiple scales. However, disentangling their relative contribution is challenging and a comprehensive trait–environment framework addressing such questions is missing in lichens. We investigated the variation in nine traits related to photosynthetic performance, water use and nutrient acquisition applying phylogenetic comparative analyses in lichen epiphytic communities on beech across Europe. These poikilohydric organisms offer a valuable model owing to their inherent limitations to buffer contrasting environmental conditions. Photobiont type and growth form captured differences in certain physiological traits whose variation was largely determined by evolutionary processes (i.e. phylogenetic history), although the intraspecific component was non-negligible. Seasonal temperature fluctuations also had an impact on trait variation, while nitrogen content depended on photobiont type rather than nitrogen deposition. The inconsistency of trait covariation among and within species prevented establishing major resource use strategies in lichens. However, we did identify a general pattern related to the water-use strategy. Thus, to robustly unveil lichen responses under different climatic scenarios, it is necessary to incorporate both among and within-species trait variation and covariation.

description: Angiogenesis, the formation of new vessels, is one of the key mechanisms in tumor development and an appealing target for therapy. Non-invasive, high-resolution, high sensitivity, quantitative 3D imaging techniques are required to correctly depict tumor heterogeneous vasculature over time. Ultrafast Doppler was recently introduced and provides an unprecedented combination of resolution, penetration depth and sensitivity without requiring any contrast agents. The technique was further extended to 3D with Ultrafast Doppler Tomography (UFD-T). In this work, UFD-T was applied to the monitoring of tumor angiogenesis in vivo providing structural and functional information at different stages of development. UFD-T volume renderings showed that our murine model's vasculature stems from pre-existing vessels and sprouts to perfuse the whole volume as the tumor grows until a critical size is reached. Then, as the network becomes insufficient, the tumor core is no longer irrigated because the vasculature is mainly concentrated in the periphery. In addition to spatial distribution and growth patterns, UFD-T allowed a quantitative analysis of vessel size and length, revealing that the diameter-distribution of vessels remained relatively constant throughout tumor growth. The network is dominated by small vessels at all stages of tumor development with more than 74% of the vessels less than 200 $μ$m in diameter. This study also showed that cumulative vessel length is more closely related to tumor radius than volume, indicating that the vascularization becomes insufficient when a critical mass is reached. UFD-T was also compared with dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) and shown to provide complementary information regarding the link between structure and perfusion. In conclusion, UFD-T is capable of an in vivo quantitative assessment of the development of tumor vasculature (vessels with blood speed >1mm/s (sensitivity limit) assessed with a resolution limit of 80 $μ$m) in 3D. The technique has very interesting potential as a tool for treatment monitoring, response assessment and treatment planning for optimal drug efficiency.

description: Sustainable flood control infrastructure is needed as climate change continues to produce more extreme precipitation events, as our water infrastructure continues to age, and as populations continue to grow and expand. Non-linear weirs, such as labyrinth and piano key weirs, are sustainable passive flood-control structures due to their improved hydraulic performance, and low maintenance and construction costs. However, like other structures, these weirs are susceptible to local scour, which is removal of soil and rock due to hydraulic forces. The scour phenomenon is a complicated process dependent upon multiple variables. There is limited information for non-linear weirs with little directed to practitioners attempting to design scour protection measures for these structures. Due to this lack of information, a laboratory study is performed to consider scour morphology and evolution, scour prediction, and scour mitigation techniques that could be employed by practitioners. Hydraulic conditions affect the scour intensity, the time it takes to reach equilibrium, and the overall scour morphology. Published scour prediction equations are evaluated to determine the relative accuracy in estimating maximum geometric scour features at piano key weirs. Using published scour prediction equations, new scour mitigation design equations are generated to assist practitioners in the development of aprons lengths and cutoff wall depths for piano key weirs.

description: Evolving methods of dam construction and rehabilitation require unique and innovative spillways. Spillways provide passage for water impounded by a dam. Stepped chute spillways offer an efficient and economical solution for dam construction and rehabilitation. Labyrinth weirs, which allow high flow discharge within a compact footprint, are often an economical solution for the spillway crest at a chute entrance. Labyrinth weirs have recently been combined with stepped chutes in several locations. However, published literature is scarce for the flow properties and key design parameters of these combined structures.
This study researched the hydraulics downstream of a labyrinth crest for two stepped chutes and one smooth chute. The results of this study, which appear herein as Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, are in the form of two academic articles for consideration by hydraulic engineering journals. Results included visual flow patterns, air concentration profiles, velocity profiles, turbulence intensities, transverse and streamwise flow uniformity, and energy dissipation of the labyrinth weir and spillway structures.
The results showed stepped chutes with labyrinth crests achieve flow uniformity farther upstream than predicted by previous research, despite initial three-dimensional flow patterns. The rate of energy dissipation was low immediately downstream of the labyrinth weir but increased farther downstream as uniform flow was established. These findings provide improved design guidance for stepped chutes with labyrinth crests.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit erforscht, in welcher Hinsicht belastende Lebenserfahrungen von Studierenden im Studium der Sozialen Arbeit an der Hochschule Landshut präsent sind und dieses beeinflussen. Zur Bearbeitung des Themas wurde mit einem Mixed-Methods-Ansatz gearbeitet. Hierbei wurden die Studierenden des Bachelorstudienganges der Sozialen Arbeit mit Hilfe einer anonymisierten Online-Umfrage zu den Arten sowie den Auswirkungen potenziell belastender Erfahrungen befragt. Insgesamt nahmen daran 145 Studierende teil. Des Weiteren wurden Expert*inneninterviews mit zwei Lehrpersonen der Hochschule Landshut geführt. Die Ergebnisse der Empirie werden anhand von Erkenntnissen aus der wissenschaftlichen Literatur gemessen und mit ihnen verglichen. Aus der Diskussion der Theorie mit den Ergebnissen der Forschung lässt sich ableiten, dass Studierende der Sozialen Arbeit mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit belastende Erfahrungen gemacht haben und diese das Potenzial haben, im Studium noch einmal aufgegriffen zu werden und unangenehme Emotionen hervorzurufen. Trotz eines Bewusstseins der Lehrpersonen für diesen Zustand zeigt sich, dass eine Bearbeitung jener Emotionen zwar essenziell für den späteren Beruf der Sozialen Arbeit ist, sich allerdings im Rahmen des Studiums durch verschiedene Faktoren eingeschränkt sieht. Hierbei wird deutlich, dass alle am Ausbildungsprozess beteiligten Personen und Institutionen eine Verantwortung für das Erlernen emotionaler Kompetenzen im Sozialarbeitsstudium tragen. Aus dieser Arbeit lässt sich ableiten, dass ein Bewusstsein für potenzielle Belastungen unter den Studierenden wichtig ist und neben bestehenden Ressourcen ein Bedarf an breiter und besser ausgebauten Unterstützungssystemen an der Hochschule besteht.

description: The challenge of providing reliable electricity during power interruptions, especially in rural and remote regions, has prompted the exploration of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRESs). This systematic review employs the PRISMA framework to conduct a comparative analysis of HRES configurations, specifically those integrating rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV), diesel generators (DGs), converters, and battery energy storage systems (BESSs). This review assesses the techno- economic performance of these systems in various countries, highlighting the cost efficiency, reliability, and environmental impact compared to traditional single-resource systems. The analysis reveals that HRESs offer significant advantages in managing energy supply during power interruptions, particularly in regions with high solar potential but unreliable grid access. A comparative analysis with other countries demonstrates that while HRES configurations are tailored to local conditions, the integration of solar PV with diesel generators is a consistently effective strategy across different contexts. This review provides essential insights for policymakers and stakeholders, facilitating the optimization of energy solutions tailored to regional needs.

description: A celebrated feature of SYK-like models is that at low energies, their dynamics reduces to that of a single variable. In many setups, this "Schwarzian" variable can be interpreted as the extremal volume of the dual black hole, and the resulting dynamics is simply that of a 1D Newtonian particle in an exponential potential. On the complexity side, geodesics on a simplified version of Nielsen's complexity geometry also behave like a 1D particle in a potential given by the angular momentum barrier. The agreement between the effective actions of volume and complexity succinctly summarizes various strands of evidence that complexity is closely related to the dynamics of black holes.

description: Insects are a ubiquitous and species-rich component of the biologically-diverse planet we inhabit. The majority of insects are understudied, with many species awaiting formal description and their natural history yet to be discovered. Members of the family Mutillidae, commonly known as velvet ants, are one of these little-known insect groups. Velvet ants are technically wasps, and the wingless females superficially resemble true ants of the family Formicidae. Further, they frequently have a ‘velvety’ appearance and are often brightly colored to serve as a warning to would-be predators that they have the ability to inflict a painful sting. These insects are solitary parasitoids and their young primarily feed on the immature stages of solitary bees and apoid wasps. There are currently 4,603 described species of Mutillidae and many await formal description. In order to organize the overwhelming amount of biological knowledge presently known and to accommodate for future discoveries, species are classified into a hierarchical system that was first proposed by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Biological classifications allow us to organize, understand, and convey information about groups of species at various ranks. Further, phylogenetic analyses allow us to understand how species are related to one another and they can inform us on how to classify life on Earth. Genomic-level molecular data are becoming increasingly more accessible and have become the primary source of information for inferring phylogenetic relationships between species. To better understand the internal classification of Mutillidae, I performed several phylogenetic analyses using molecular data. I also investigated the mating strategies known for Mutillidae and reported on a new mating strategy record for Sphaeropthalma pensylvanica (Lepeletier). Additionally, I performed a phylogenetic analysis for the species-rich, cosmopolitan mutillid tribe Trogaspidiini in order to discern how its members are related to one another and to determine their biogeographic history. Lastly, I revised the rare genus Invreiella Suárez and increased the known diversity from three to fourteen species. My dissertation research sheds light on a number of understudied aspects of velvet ants and the results will aid other researchers studying these remarkable insects.

description: Here we discuss that unlike bond dissociation energy (BDE) that is a state function quantity, the energy components of the energy decomposition analysis (EDA), i.e. electrostatic interaction, Pauli repulsion, and orbital interaction, are path (process) function quantities. Being a path function means that EDA energy components are not uniquely defined, i.e. relative magnitude of the orbital interaction, Pauli repulsion, and electrostatic components may vary depending on the selected pathway for EDA analysis. Therefore, at best, EDA analysis can define whether closely related chemical bonds are more or less ionic/covalent compared with each other. However, a precise assessment of the nature of a certain type of chemical bond using EDA is a questionable task. Besides, we briefly discuss that widely used EDA analysis pathway, which is merely an arbitrary choice among infinite possible paths, comes to conclusions not consistent with our widely accepted knowledge of bond formation even for the simplest molecules.

description: A graph where each vertex $v$ has a list $L(v)$ of available colors is $L$-colorable if there is a proper coloring such that the color of $v$ is in $L(v)$ for each $v$. A graph is $k$-choosable if every assignment $L$ of at least $k$ colors to each vertex guarantees an $L$-coloring. Given a list assignment $L$, an $L$-request for a vertex $v$ is a color $c\in L(v)$. In this paper, we look at a variant of the widely studied class of precoloring extension problems from [Z. Dvořák, S. Norin, and L. Postle: List coloring with requests. J. Graph Theory 2019], wherein one must satisfy "enough", as opposed to all, of the requested set of precolors. A graph $G$ is $\varepsilon$-flexible for list size $k$ if for any $k$-list assignment $L$, and any set $S$ of $L$-requests, there is an $L$-coloring of $G$ satisfying an $\varepsilon$-fraction of the requests in $S$. It is conjectured that planar graphs are $\varepsilon$-flexible for list size $5$, yet it is proved only for list size $6$ and for certain subclasses of planar graphs. We give a stronger version of the main tool used in the proofs of the aforementioned results. By doing so, we improve upon a result by Masařík and show that planar graphs without $K_4^-$ are $\varepsilon$-flexible for list size $5$. We also prove that planar graphs without $4$-cycles and $3$-cycle distance at least 2 are $\varepsilon$-flexible for list size $4$. Finally, we introduce a new (slightly weaker) form of $\varepsilon$-flexibility where each vertex has exactly one request. In that setting, we provide a stronger tool and we demonstrate its usefulness to further extend the class of graphs that are $\varepsilon$-flexible for list size $5$.

With underrepresented student populations comprising up to a third of business school enrollment, there is institutional and departmental value in understanding how, and at what levels, undergraduate business students of color persist and graduate at satellite campuses.
Findings from this study could be used to inform institutional and departmental administrators and program managers on different strategies to foster not only a more diverse matriculation, but also to improve graduation outcomes for underrepresented student populations. Study results could also provide insight into how campus differences (i.e., main, satellite) impact graduation rates.

description: I discuss how peer sexual health educators have proven to be effective in conveying sexual health information in ways that set them apart from traditional sexual health educators. Specifically, I argue that peer educators can be more effective than traditional sexuality educators through their ability to relate to teens on a personal level, through specific training as peer sexual health educators, and by using student-led instruction and meaningful pedagogy in sexuality education. I also discuss the challenges of peer sexuality education.

Pye and M. Warren, Eds. Geelong, Victoria: School of Information Systems, Deakin University, November 2005, pp. 71–79.AbstractWireless ad-hoc networks are vulnerable partly due to the absence of a clear physical boundary. A simple yet robust network layer security protocol has been proposed previously for Suburban Ad-Hoc Networks. It secures network layer packets at each hop, and provides fully self-organised key and access control management functionalities without relying on any centralised trusted entity. In this paper we extend the possible attack space of SSP. Then we map the possible attacks into the canonical strategies of Information Warfare to evaluate the effectiveness of SSP from the Information Warfare perspective.
Operating LISA as a Sagnac interferometer

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A phase-locking configuration for LISA is proposed that provides a significantly simpler mode of operation. The scheme provides one Sagnac signal readout inherently insensitive to laser frequency noise and optical bench motion for a non-rotating LISA array. This Sagnac output is also insensitive to clock noise, requires no time shifting of data, nor absolute arm length knowledge. As all measurements are made at one spacecraft, neither clock synchronization nor exchange of phase information between spacecraft is required. The phase-locking configuration provides these advantages for only one Sagnac variable yet retains compatibility with the baseline approach for obtaining the other TDI variables. The orbital motion of the LISA constellation is shown to produce a 14 km path length difference between the counter-propagating beams in the Sagnac interferometer. With this length difference a laser frequency noise spectral density of 1 Hz/$\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ would consume the entire optical path noise budget of the Sagnac variables. A significant improvement of laser frequency stability (currently at 30 Hz/$\sqrt{\rm Hz}$) would be needed for full-sensitivity LISA operation in the Sagnac mode. Alternatively, an additional level of time-delay processing could be applied to remove the laser frequency noise. The new time-delayed combinations of the phase measurements are presented.

description: This systematic review aims to investigate studies related to the analysis of the gait of psychotic patients and the possible association with disorders in their metabolic profile, inflammation and cardiovascular complications. The bibliographical search was carried out by the scientific publications PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge and Science Direct. The Rayyan program was used to organize the literature from different bases and the systematic way of selecting or rejecting studies from the review. A total of 11068 results was collected and 27 studies were selected that met the criteria of this review. After analysis of the data, it is concluded that the occurrence of cardiometabolic disorders is very common in patients with psychosis taking antipsychotic medication, as well as disturbances in movement and gait that thus affect the daily life and functionality of the individual. There is no research to study whether gait analysis can act as a predictive or diagnostic tool

description: The topological susceptibility of the vacuum in quantum chromodynamics has been simulated numerically using the Asqtad improved staggered fermion formalism. At nonzero lattice spacing the residual fermion doublers (fermion ``tastes'') in the staggered fermion formalism give contributions to the susceptibility that deviate from conventional continuum chiral perturbation theory. In this brief report we estimate the taste-breaking artifact and compare it with results of recent simulations, finding that it accounts for roughly half of the scaling violation.

description: I investigated the relative abundance, spatial distributions, return to the creel, and growth rates of two genetic stocks of kokanee salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka, in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Utah-Wyoming. The two genetic stocks consist of fish from the two major spawning populations of kokanee in the reservoir. One population, Shore Spawners, spawns along the eastern shoreline of the Open Hills area of the reservoir. The other population, Sheep Creek, spawns in Sheep Creek, a tributary located in the Canyon area of the reservoir.
Mitochondrial DNA of kokanee from each population was analyzed to determine haplotype differences between stocks. These haplotype differences were then used to determine the natal population of kokanee captured throughout the reservoir. Shore Spawner kokanee were more abundant relative to Sheep Creek kokanee both in the reservoir (93% to 7%) and in return to the creel (93% to 7%). Individuals from the two populations were not, however, distributed differently during the summer of 1995.
Midwater trawls conducted during August 1995 and 1996 showed that age-0 kokanee in the less productive Canyon area were significantly smaller than their counterparts in more productive reservoir areas. Measurements of adult kokanee returning to spawning areas in 1995 showed that spawning Sheep Creek kokanee were significantly smaller than their Shore Spawner counterparts. A common garden net pen experiment conducted on age-0 kokanee during the spring of 1996 showed a significant effect of genetic stock on Flaming Gorge kokanee growth. Both genetic stocks grew faster in the more productive areas of the reservoir, but Shore Spawner kokanee grew faster than Sheep Creek kokanee in seven of nine net pens. Potential physiological, behavioral, and life history differences between the genetic stocks that could explain these growth differences are discussed.

description: Energy decomposition analysis (EDA) is a useful tool for comparing the nature of chemical bonds that are closely relevant. However, unlike bond dissociation energy (BDE) that is a state function quantity, the energy components of EDA analysis, i.e. electrostatic interaction, Pauli repulsion, and orbital interaction, are path (process) functions quantities. Being a path function quantity means that EDA energy components are not uniquely defined, i.e. relative magnitude of orbital interaction, Pauli repulsion, and electrostatic components can vary depending on the selected pathway for EDA analysis. Therefore, EDA analysis can define whether closely related chemical bonds are more or less ionic/covalent with respect to each other. However, precise assessment of the nature of a certain type of chemical bond using EDA is a questionable task. Besides, I briefly discuss that widely used EDA analysis path, which is merely an arbitrary choice among infinite possible paths, comes to conclusions not consistent with our knowledge of bond formation even in simple cases.

description: We study internal structure of the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equations for spin-0 and spin-1 mesons. We demonstrate, that the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equations can be splitted into constituent equations, describing particles with definite mass and broken Lorentz symmetry. We also show that solutions of the three component constituent equations fulfill the Dirac equation.

description: We present time-resolved spectroscopy and photometry of the double-lined eclipsing cataclysmic variables AC Cnc and V363 Aur (= Lanning 10). There is evidence of irradiation on the inner hemisphere of the secondary star in both systems, which we correct for using a model that reproduces the observations remarkably well. We find the radial velocity of the secondary star in AC Cnc to be K_R = 176 \pm 3 km/s and its rotational velocity to be v sin i = 135 \pm 3 km/s. From these parameters we obtain masses of M_1 = 0.76 \pm 0.03 M_sun for the white dwarf primary and M_2 = 0.77 \pm 0.05 M_sun for the K2 \pm 1V secondary star, giving a mass ratio of q = 1.02 \pm 0.04. We measure the radial and rotational velocites of the G7 \pm 2V secondary star in V363 Aur to be K_R = 168 \pm 5 km/s and v sin i = 143 \pm 5 km/s respectively. The component masses of V363 Aur are M_1 = 0.90 \pm 0.06 M_sun and M_2 = 1.06 \pm 0.11 M_sun, giving a mass ratio of q = 1.17 \pm 0.07. The mass ratios for AC Cnc and V363 Aur fall within the theoretical limits for dynamically and thermally stable mass transfer. Both systems are similar to the SW Sex stars, exhibiting single-peaked emission lines with transient absorption features, high-velocity S-wave components and phase-offsets in their radial velocity curves. The Balmer lines in V363 Aur show a rapid increase in flux around phase 0 followed by a rapid decrease, which we attribute to the eclipse of an optically thick region at the centre of the disc. This model could also account for the behaviour of other SW Sex stars where the Balmer lines show only a shallow eclipse compared to the continuum.

description: We report the detection of a non-corotating gas component in a bright unlensed submillimeter galaxy at z=4.3, COSMOS-AzTEC-1, hosting a compact starburst. ALMA 0.17 and 0.09 arcsec resolution observations of [CII] emission clearly demonstrate that the gas kinematics is characterized by an ordered rotation. After subtracting the best-fit model of a rotating disk, we kinematically identify two residual components in the channel maps. Both observing simulations and analysis of dirty images confirm that these two subcomponents are not artificially created by noise fluctuations and beam deconvolution. One of the two has a velocity offset of 200 km/s and a physical separation of 2 kpc from the primary disk and is located along the kinematic minor axis of disk rotation. We conclude that this gas component is falling into the galaxy from a direction perpendicular to the disk rotation. The accretion of such small non-corotating gas components could stimulate violent disk instability, driving radial gas inflows into the center of galaxies and leading to formation of in-situ clumps such as identified in dust continuum and CO. We require more theoretical studies on high gas fraction mergers with mass ratio of 1:>10 to verify this process.

description: We study the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the presence of a background metric ds^2 = -dt^2 + dx^2 + e^{-2gx}(dy^2 + dz^2) in a semi-infinite lab (x>0). This metric has a constant scalar curvature R=6g^2 and is produced by a perfect fluid with equation of state p=-ρ/3. The eigenfunctions of spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles are obtained exactly, and the quantized energy eigenvalues are compared. It is shown that both of these particles must have nonzero transverse momentum in this background. We show that there is a minimum energy E^2_{min}=m^2c^4 + g^2c^2\hbar^2$ for bosons E_{KG} > E_{min}, while the fermions have no specific ground state E_{Dirac}>mc^2.

description: We consider a non-interacting Fermi gas in a combined harmonic and periodic potential. We calculate the energy spectrum and simulate the motion of the gas after sudden replacement of the trap center. For different parameter regimes, the system presents dipole oscillations, damped oscillations around the replaced center, and localization. The behaviour is explained by the change of the energy spectrum from linear to quadratic.
