description: We present the systemic Console, a new all-in-one, general-purpose software package for the analysis and combined multiparameter fitting of Doppler radial velocity (RV) and transit timing observations. We give an overview of the computational algorithms implemented in the Console, and describe the tools offered for streamlining the characterization of planetary systems. We illustrate the capabilities of the package by analyzing an updated radial velocity data set for the HD128311 planetary system. HD128311 harbors a pair of planets that appear to be participating in a 2:1 mean motion resonance. We show that the dynamical configuration cannot be fully determined from the current data. We find that if a planetary system like HD128311 is found to undergo transits, then self-consistent Newtonian fits to combined radial velocity data and a small number of timing measurements of transit midpoints can provide an immediate and vastly improved characterization of the planet's dynamical state.

title: Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in an Effluent-Dominated Stream: Seasonal Variability and Downstream Fate
Creators: name: Buswell, Bradley R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents are major sources of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in the environment and effluentdominated streams (EDSs) represent worst-case scenarios for PPCP exposures to aquatic organisms. The concentrations of PPCPs downstream from a WWTP can be altered by dilution and fate processes such as biodegradation, photodegradation and sorption. The relative importance of these processes depends on the individual PPCPs and environmental variables that vary seasonally. The primary objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of selected PPCPs in an EDS as a function of season and distance from a WWTP with the hypothesis being that the downstream attenuation of the PPCPs would vary based on their corresponding physicochemical properties. A secondary objective was to evaluate the ability of the constructed wetlands located between the plant and creek to reduce PPCP concentrations. Samples were collected seasonally from above and below the East Canyon Water Reclamation Facility (ECWRF) and within the constructed wetlands for selected PPCPs. Except for caffeine, downstream PPCP concentrations were higher than upstream, indicating that the ECWRF effluent is the major source of PPCPs in East Canyon Creek. Generally, the highest PPCP concentrations in the stream were observed in July and the lowest in May corresponding to the times of lowest and highest ratio of stream to effluent flows, respectively. Dilution was the major factor associated with the declining PPCP concentrations downstream of the ECWRF but the extent of decline varied between compounds suggesting other fate mechanisms also play a role. Sorption of PPCPs to wetland sediments was greater than stream sediments but overall the retention time within the wetlands was too short to significantly reduce the amount of PPCPs moving into the stream. The observed concentrations of individual PPCPs in East Canyon Creek were lower than those expected to negatively impact the health of aquatic organisms but mixture effects are still a potential concern.

description: A study on North South (NS) asymmetry of different solar activity features (DSAF) such as solar proton events, solar active prominences, H alpha flare index, soft X ray flares, monthly mean sunspot area and monthly mean sunspot number were carried out from 1996 to 2008. It is found in our result that solar cycle 23 is magnetically weak compared to solar cycle 22. Study shows the Southern dominance of DSAF during the time period of study. During the rising phase of the cycle the numbers of DSAF approximately equal on the North and South Hemisphere. However, these activities tend to shift from Northern Hemisphere to Southern Hemisphere in between year 1998 to 1999. The statistical significance of the asymmetry time series using a chi square test of goodness of fit indicates that in most of the cases the asymmetry is highly significant, i.e., the asymmetry is a real feature in the NS distribution of DSAF.

Threshold electron impact excitation
Creators: name: Olsen, Lyle Allen Roger
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Threshold electron impact spectra have been obtained for helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and carbon monoxide using a velocity-selected electron beam. Zero energy electrons ejected at excitation thresholds are scavenged by sulfur hexafluoride and the resulting SF(6)¯ ions are detected using a mass filter. Optically forbidden transitions are observed to make a large contribution to the total threshold excitation. Singlet-triplet transitions are especially prominent in helium and carbon monoxide. Excitation of outer s and p electrons is observed for neon, argon, krypton and xenon.
Sex differences in altruism shown in offenders : are female offenders more altruistic than male offenders?
Creators: name: Bertoni, ES
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: One of the key aims of this thesis is to discover if female offenders are more altruistic in their offending than male offenders. The purpose of this thesis is also to provide a theoretical background on the notions altruism and egoism-defining the similarities and differences between them. Another purpose is to measure and compare levels of altruism among male and female offenders. The final purpose of the research is to either prove or disprove the notion that female offenders are more altruistic than male offenders. It was found that the female group committed fewer egoistic offences and more neutral offences than the male group. The male group was also more egoistic in their offending when the specific criteria were calculated. Having children also had a stronger impact on female offending than the male offending, making it less egoistic in nature. In regards to the levels of altruism and egoism, the male group scored significantly higher than the female group in both objective and subjective egoism. In contrast, the female group scored higher in altruism and neutrality. However, the impact of having children on the levels of altruism and egoism were mixed-with an increase of egoism and a decrease in neutrality in the female group. It was also found that more of the female group were motivated by altruism than the male group. It was also possible for female offenders to be motivated by altruism and necessity simultaneously. However, this does not mean that women are always offended for altruistic reasons, just as males do not always offend for egoistic reasons.

Towards Generalizing Schubert Calculus in the Symplectic Category

Subjects: subject: Symplectic Geometry (math.SG)

description: The main purpose of this article is to extend some of the ideas from Schubert calculus to the more general setting of Hamiltonian torus actions on compact symplectic manifolds with isolated fixed points. Given a generic component of the moment map, we define a canonical class α_p in the equivariant cohomology of the manifold M for each fixed point p of M. When they exist, canonical classes form a natural basis of the equivariant cohomology of M; in particular, when M is a flag variety, these classes are the equivariant Schubert classes. We show that the restriction of a canonical class α_p to a fixed point q can be calculated by a rational function which depends only on the value of the moment map, and the restriction of other canonical classes to points of index exactly two higher. Therefore, the structure constants can be calculated by a similar rational function. Our restriction formula is manifestly positive in many cases, including when M is a flag manifold. Finally, we prove the existence of integral canonical classes in the case that M is a GKM manifold the moment map component is index increasing. In this case, our restriction formula specializes to an easily computable rational sum which depends only on the GKM graph.

Archiving RDF data in relational databases
Creators: name: Chu, D
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: RDF has become the de-facto standard for the representation and exchange of information. It is not only used for representing the context of Linked Open Data and semantic-Web, but also used as to publish structured data in science and business. It is also the driving force behind the increasing research interest in RDF data management. RDF is the data format for publishing liked data, and links between databases are based on database state. Failure to maintain the history of a database may lead to loss of evidence for links. In addition, regarding storage and querying, it is not reasonable to simply keep all the database versions. Therefore, this paper will develop specialized archiving technologies. This paper have compared existing archiving techniques and the approaches of store RDF in relational databases, and based on one of existing approach, the paper developed two solution of archiving RDF data in relational databases. Also, in order to track the history of changes to the data, the paper proposes the strategies to extend existing methods for storing RDF in relational databases. For each of strategy, the paper present the efficient way for updating and archiving RDF data. Based on the strategies, the paper develops approaches about how to query these data. At last, there are evaluations of the proposed methods via different experiments.
Photon scattering by a three-level emitter in a one-dimensional waveguide

description: We discuss the scattering of photons from a three-level emitter in a one-dimensional waveguide, where the transport is governed by the interference of spontaneously emitted and directly transmitted waves. The scattering problem is solved in closed form for different level structures. Several possible applications are discussed: The state of the emitter can be switched deterministically by Raman scattering, thus enabling applications in quantum computing such as a single photon transistor. An array of emitters gives rise to a photonic band gap structure, which can be tuned by a classical driving laser. A disordered array leads to Anderson localization of photons, where the localization length can again be controlled by an external driving.

title: The Short and Long-Term Effects of Temperature and Strain on a Concrete Bulb-Tree Girder Bridge
Creators: name: Pickett, Ethan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: The Utah Transportation Center (UTC) as well as the Mountain Plains Consortium, sponsored a study to investigate the long-term performance of a deck bulb tee girder bridge. The bridge in question is located in Nibley, Utah and was erected in early 2016. Temperature and prestress losses were analyzed from embedded instrumentation placed within two of the bridge girders before casting. These two girders contained a total of 50 thermocouples and 16 vibrating wire strain gauges. These instruments were placed at the mid-span and end of an exterior girder and the mid-span, quarter-span, and end of a center girder in order to effectively monitor the bridge response in one quarter of the bridge superstructure.
The monitoring performed with the thermocouples included the temperature of the girders during curing, weekly maximum and minimum temperatures compared to methods for predicting the average bridge temperature, maximum and minimum thermal gradients at each of the five selected cross sections compared to Code thermal gradients, and thermal camber by measured temperature compared to models to predict thermal gradients. The 16 strain gauges measured prestress losses at four girder cross-sections, which were compared to two predictive methods provided by AASHTO as well as a method by PCI. An additional comparison of the equations provided by AASHTO and a newly available equation used for determining the modulus of elasticity of concretes with a compressive strength of 6,000 – 12,000 psi was performed.
Additional exterior instrumentation were provided by Bridge Diagnostics Inc. (BDI) in order to monitor short-term changes within the bridge. A total of 8 strain gauges were attached to the exterior of the girders with 6 attached at the bottom face of 6 girders and 2 attached at the centroid of 2 girders. These sensors as well as the software and wireless data acquisition provided a method to measure the magnitude and frequency of the ranges of strain experienced by the Nibley Bridge.

description: Atomically thin two-dimensional layer of honeycomb crystalline carbon known as graphene is a promising system for electronics. It has a point-like Fermi surface, which is very sensitive to external potentials. In particular, Zeeman magnetic field parallel to the graphene layer splits electron bands and creates fully spin-polarized and geometrically congruent circular Fermi surfaces of particle and hole type. In the presence of electric field, particles and holes with opposite spins drift in opposite direction. These phenomena are likely to be of interest for developing graphene-based spintronic devices. A domain wall (DW) separating regions with opposite spin polarizations is a basic element of such a device. Here we consider a ballistic passage of spin-polarized charge carriers through DW in graphene. We also discuss the analogy between the generation of spin currents in graphene and in relativistic quark-gluon plasma, where the spin-polarized current is responsible for the phenomenon of charge separation studied recently at RHIC.

title: A Comparison of Park Access with Park Need for Children: Case Study in Cache County, Utah
Creators: name: Chen, Shuolei
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Childhood obesity is one of the nation’s most serious health problems. There are growing efforts to prevent childhood obesity by improving opportunities for physical activity in their communities. The outdoor settings of the built environment, such as parks and open spaces, can offer children opportunities for physical activities, experience with nature, and social interaction, which contribute to children’s physical and psychological health. However, children’s physical access to parks is often inequitable. Simultaneously, the quality of parks also varies. These disparities caused the inequitable distribution of health-promoting features of built environment among disadvantaged groups who may not have access to other resources. While most previous studies focused on physical park distribution inequities, the purpose of this study is to explore park access by both park physical proximity and quality related to children’s (5 to 17 years old) potential need for parks.
This study employs case study methods to explore these relationships across Cache County, Utah. Park proximity is identified by GIS network analysis methods to determine park service areas for all the 77 census block groups in Cache County. Both overall park quality and five separate park feature qualities (facilities, amenities, aesthetic feature, cleanliness and maintenance, and incivility) are measured using the PARK tool (Parks, Activity, and Recreation among Kids). The measure of children’s potential park need is an index created according to the following contributing factors; the population density of children, total population density, racial minority density, population percentage whose income falls below the federal poverty line, population percentage of unemployment, population percentage of low-education, percentage of renter-occupied housing, and yard size. Comparison between the measures is both graphical (spatial) and statistical (correlational). The graphical analysis identifies spatial gaps between the measures. The statistical analysis, using multiple linear regression, assesses the extent that the park location and quality distribution is correlated with children’s potential park need in the setting.
Proposed parks are added in the graphically identified spatial gaps, the effect of which is statistically analyzed to see whether children’s park needs can be better met in the study area. This study can be a model for examining park access and park need among children to ultimately improve opportunities for physical activity and reduce the rate of obesity among the population.

title: Nitrogen Excretion of Lactating Dairy Cows Fed an Alfalfa Hay- or Birdsfoot Trefoil Hay-Based High-Forage Diet
Creators: name: Khan, Mohammad Ghelich
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Extensive research has been conducted to decrease the environmental impacts of dairy farming by using forages containing condensed tannins (CT). In this study, it was hypothesized that feeding CT-containing birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus, BFT) to lactating dairy cows would result in a decrease in N degradation in the rumen, causing a shift in N partitioning into milk and manure outputs, compared with alfalfa hay. Urine N is more volatile and harmful to the environment compared with fecal N. By reducing urine N, overall N utilization efficiency can improve. It was our goal to verify how the changes in N partitioning would affect the overall N utilization efficiency by dairy cows fed BFT hay-based high-forage diet. The results in this report showed that feeding BFT-hay diet reduced protein degradation in the rumen, decreased N excreted to milk and urine, and increased N excretion into feces, resulting in decreased urinary-N:fecal-N ratio due to feeding BFT-hay diet. However, the change in the N excretion routes was not associated with N utilization efficiency, which may have resulted from poor nutritive quality of BFT hay. Although the BFT hay fed in the current study was in a very mature condition and was of poor quality, DM intake and milk yield were similar in both treatments. Therefore, it is implied that BFT hay can replace alfalfa hay in dairy rations, because even poor quality BFT hay compared with alfalfa hay led to similar lactational performance and a beneficial shift in N excretion into environment.
title: A Mechanistic Approach to Modeling Habitat Needs of Drift-Feeding Salmonids
Creators: name: Addley, R. Craig
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: A mechanistic model is developed to determine the habitat needs of drift-feeding stream salmonids from the direct cause-and- effect relationships of environmental and physiological variables on net energy intake (NEI). The model determines NEI by subtracting energy costs (basal metabolism , swimming cost, digestion cost) and losses (egestion and excretion) from the gross energy intake obtained as a result of simulated prey capture. The prey capture portion of the model utilizes components o f the predation model of C.S. Holling and the prey capture model of N.F. Hughes and L.M. Dill to determine the rate of prey capture (gross energy intake) as a function of fish size, water velocity, water depth, water temperature, and the amount of drift. Physiological input parameters for the model are estimated from the literature.
Two separate validation tests of the model's ability to predict stream habitat use of trout, primarily cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki), in St. Charles Creek, Idaho, are presented. In both cases, the NEI model closely predicts the stream habitat that different size classes of fish utilize. The validation tests provide strong evidence that drift-feeding fish utilize stream habitats that provide high rates of NEI as determined by the model.
Sensitivity and simulation analyses of the model are used to identify the most important input parameters and to illustrate in terms of energetics why drift-feeding fish utilize various habitats. Model simulations explain why fish utilize deeper and faster habitats as they get larger and why they utilize slower habitats in the winter. In addition, it is shown that streams with high drift rates should theoretically provide more usable salmonid habitat than similar streams with lower drift rates.

Year: 2023

description: An investigation of the noise which is an inherent part of delta modulation due to the nature of the modulation process is presented. A large part of the examination of the noise consists of an investigation of the noise performance of delta modulation. In order to limit unwanted paramenters, the study has been mainly confined to an ideal delta modulator with a perfect, single integration feedback network. The investigation presented is restricted to the modulation - demodulation process in the main, with emphasis on voice communication usage. The feasability of a computer simuation of delta modulation and the design and construction of an experimental modulator is presented.

description: Quorum sensing is the mechanism by which bacteria communicate and synchronize group behaviors. Quantitative information on parameters such as the copy number of particular quorum-sensing proteins should contribute strongly to understanding how the quorum-sensing network functions. Here we show that the copy number of the master regulator protein LuxR in Vibrio harveyi, can be determined in vivo by exploiting small-number fluctuations of the protein distribution when cells undergo division. When a cell divides, both its volume and LuxR protein copy number N are partitioned with slight asymmetries. We have measured the distribution functions describing the partitioning of the protein fluorescence and the cell volume. The fluorescence distribution is found to narrow systematically as the LuxR population increases while the volume partitioning is unchanged. Analyzing these changes statistically, we have determined that N = 80-135 dimers at low cell density and 575 dimers at high cell density. In addition, we have measured the static distribution of LuxR over a large (3,000) clonal population. Combining the static and time-lapse experiments, we determine the magnitude of the Fano factor of the distribution. This technique has broad applicability as a general, in vivo technique for measuring protein copy number and burst size.

title: Redefining Landscape Norms: Exploring the Influence of Normative Landscaping Patterns in Washington County, Utah
Creators: name: White, Ryan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: As water supplies in the American West become increasingly strained by growing populations and threats of drought and climate change, water managers and governments are working to maximize water-use efficiency. With well over half of municipal water being used on outdoor irrigation, improved landscape water efficiency has been a clear candidate for conservation messaging. Because social norms play a significant role in what conservation behaviors individuals adopt voluntarily, conservation messaging strategies often try to influence and shift norms in favor of improved behaviors. A clear understanding of the existing norms, demographics, and cultural values of an area is essential to tailoring relevant and effective conservation messages.
The purpose of this research was to identify landscape norms in Washington County, Utah and whether residents had perceived a shift in norms over time toward desert-adapted landscapes. We also researched whether social norms played a significant role in the types of landscapes residents preferred. To answer these questions, we surveyed three populations: visitors to a popular, local conservation garden, participants in conservation programs and workshops, and members of a homeowner association. Based on their responses, we found that residents did perceive a shift in landscape norms toward desert landscapes. The vast majority of respondents also indicated approval of homeowners using desert landscaping in their neighborhoods, regardless of their own landscaping decisions. However, little social pressure exists to motivate homeowners to adapt to a specific neighborhood norm. As such, conservation strategies in Washington County should emphasize the approval and growing use of appropriate water-conserving landscape norms.
To increase effectiveness, conservation messaging should address the needs of specific demographics. For example, because we found that homeowners with children tend to prefer larger amounts of lawn, conservation messaging needs to demonstrate how child-friendly alternatives to lawn-dominant landscapes can meet the needs of children. In addition to suggestions for improving voluntary behavior changes, we discuss how policies can help to accelerate changes in landscape norms.

Quatuor Pour Temps Incertains (Part 8: Violin)
Creators: name: Elia, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Music

description: The “Quatuor pour temps incertains” is a Quartet for Bb Clarinet, Violin, ‘Cello, and Piano, inspired by the work “Quatuor pour la fin du temps” by Oliver Messiaen. The present work is also in 8-movements, and composed with the same instrumentation as Messiaen’s work. The parts are based on aspects of life, memory, spirit, and prayer, for example, though not directly tied to Messiaen’s biblical inspirations. The composer of the present work first got the idea to write this “Quatuor,” after reading a piece about Messiaen by clarinetist Nurhak Tuncer, for whom this was written. The 8-movements of this piece include: Part 1: Incertitude, Part 2: Fragilté, Part 3: Recherche, Part 4: E’quilibre, Part 5: Esprit, Part 6: Repos, Part 7: Prière, Part 8: Résurrection. (All individual parts for the 8 movements will be available on Academic Commons).
title: The Development and Validation of a Life-Change Checklist for Juvenile Delinquents
Creators: name: Kulcsar, Paul G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: A method generated by psychophysics has been used to develop a Checklist consisting of 58 life-events that require varying degrees of readjustment on the part of adolescents experiencing them.
A very high degree of concordance was found to exist among psychologists, social workers and probation officers with regard to the relative value of life-change required by those events.
Information about the occurrence of the amount of life-change was subsequently gathered from a sample of 334 juvenile delinquents and 104 nondelinquents by administering the Checklist. A measure of the degree of severity of delinquency was also obtained for each delinquent subject.
The magnitude of life-change experienced by the delinquent sample was found to be highly significantly related to the severity of delinquency and to types of delinquency. The greater the magnitude of life-change, the greater the severity of delinquency, and the more severe the type of delinquency, the greater the amount of experienced life-change.
Partially specific relationships were also found with regard to life-events and categories of events. Forty-six of the 58 life-events were found to have discriminatory value for at least one of the four major types of delinquency. Additionally, status-offenders were found to be more similar to nondelinquents than to delinquents with respect to the kinds of life-events which affect them.
Other types of delinquents were not significantly differentiated by categories of life-events.

description: We report on a Dalitz plot analysis of B- -> D+ pi- pi- decays, based on a sample of about 383 million Upsilon(4S) -> BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We find the total branching fraction of the three-body decay: BR(B- -> D+ pi- pi-) = (1.08 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.05) x 10^-3. The masses and widths of D^{*0}_2 and D^{*0}_0, the 2+ and 0+ cubar P-wave states decaying to D+ pi-, are measured: mass_{D^{*0}_2} = (2460.4 +/- 1.2 +/- 1.2 +/- 1.9) MeV/c2, width_{D^{*0}_2} = (41.8 +/- 2.5 +/- 2.1 +/- 2.0) MeV, mass_{D^{*0}_0} = (2297 +/- 8 +/- 5 +/- 19) MeV/c2 and width_{D^{*0}_0} = (273 +/- 12 +/- 17 +/-45) MeV. The stated errors reflect the statistical and systematic uncertainties, and the uncertainty related to the assumed composition of signal events and the theoretical model.

title: Telephone Crisis Intervention: Empathy and Conceptual Level
Creators: name: Seymour, Paul J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: The telephone crisis intervention service at Utah State University (Help-Line) was evaluated in order to make the training program accountable and to produce recommendations for improvement in volunteer training.
Help-Line training teaches a "non-directive" counseling model and incorporates experiential sensitivity type exercises, didactic discussion, and role playing.
Help-Line volunteers were assessed by two methods. The first was a pretest-posttest control group design. Training was the independent variable and the discrimination of core conditions (as measured by the Crisis Center Discrimination Index) and the communication of empathy (as measured by the Crisis Center Communication Index) were the dependent variables . The Indexes are patterned after the work of Robert Carkhuff and utilize his 5-point rating system. The trainees scored significantly better than the control group on both the discrimination task (.01 level) and the connnunication task (.05 level).
The second method was a comparison of the volunteers on the variables of Conceptual Level as postulated by Harvey, Hunt, and Schroder, and the decision of the volunteers regarding whether or not to work on Help-Line after training. Conceptual Level was measured by the Conceptual Systems Test (form 71) categorizing subjects according to cognitive structure and beliefs into one of four Conceptual Levels (CL): CL 1--concrete-proestablishment, CL 2--concrete-antiestablishrnent, CL 3--abstract-dependent, and CL 4--abstract-independent.
Both trainers were CL 4 individuals and the interaction between subject and trainer is unknown. A comparison of CL 1, CL 3, and CL 4 subjects (the test identified no CL 2 members) on the Crisis Center Discrimination Index produced no significant differences.
A comparison of CL 1, CL 3, and CL 4 subjects on the Crisis Center Colillllunication Index showed no significant differences on the pretest scores but a significant difference (.05 level) on the post test scores, CL 4 subjects scoring significantly higher than CL 3 and CL 1 subjects. No significant differences in the comunication of empathy were found between CL 1 and CL 3 subjects.
A comparison of those subjects who elected to work on Help-Line after training and those who elected not to work on Help-Line after training revealed no significant differences on either the discrimination or communication indexes.
A comparison of those subjects who elected to work on Help-Line after training and those who elected not to work on Help-Line after training with respect to Conceptual Level was made. Chi-square tests showed no significant differences for CL 1 subjects choosing to work or not to work, significance at the .05 level favoring CL 3 subjects choosing to work, and significance at the .05 level favoring CL 4 subjects choosing not to work.
