title: The Integration of the Nutrition Screening Tool with The Interdisciplinary Plan of Care Form
Creators: name: Hyatt, Beth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: Literature Review
Undernutrition in the hospital setting has been shown to cause adverse outcomes. Screening for nutritional risk assists in the detection of undernutrition with subsequent early intervention to prevent further decline. While many nutrition screening tools exist, none are proven to detect undernutrition. Furthermore, many barriers exist for utilizing nurses as primarily responsible for screening patients for nutritional risk.
Background
A hospital reviewed the nutrition screening process and found that the form used and screening factors were insufficient to adequately detect undernutrition and appropriate referrals for dietitians.
Objectives
1) Determine if nursing compliance improved when the nutrition screening form was integrated with the Interdisciplinary Care Plan form. 2) Improve the relevance of the nutrition screening risk factors used and the overall screening tool.
Methods
The Interdisciplinary Plan of Care form was updated to include the nutrition screening tool and used on the Medical /Surgical unit. Data was also collected on the Intensive Care Unit which continued to use the original screening tool.
Results
Screening completion did not improve with the implementation of the new screening process, however the quality and quantity of referrals from the new screening form did improve. Total compliance for nurses responsibility also improved with the new form.
Conclusion
Integrating nutrition screening factors into an interdisciplinary plan of care can improve the rate of dietitian referrals. Nutritional screening procedures must be continually reevaluated for effectiveness in detecting undernutrition in the hospitalized patient. Further studies must be conducted to evaluate the validity and specificity of all nutrition screening tools.

description: We consider electron-electron interaction effects in quantum point contacts on the first quantization plateau, taking into account all scattering processes. We compute the low-temperature linear and nonlinear conductance, shot noise, and thermopower, by perturbation theory and a self-consistent nonperturbative method. On the conductance plateau, the low-temperature corrections are solely due to momentum-nonconserving processes that change the relative number of left- and right-moving electrons. This leads to a suppression of the conductance for increasing temperature or voltage. The size of the suppression is estimated for a realistic saddle-point potential, and is largest in the beginning of the conductance plateau. For large magnetic field, interaction effects are strongly suppressed by the Pauli principle, and hence the first spin-split conductance plateau has a much weaker interaction correction. For the nonperturbative calculations, we use a self-consistent nonequilibrium Green's function approach, which suggests that the conductance saturates at elevated temperatures. These results are consistent with many experimental observations related to the so-called 0.7 anomaly.

description: The ensemble averaged power scattered in and out of lossless chaotic cavities decays as a power law in time for large times. In the case of a pulse with a finite duration, the power scattered from a single realization of a cavity closely tracks the power law ensemble decay initially, but eventually transitions to an exponential decay. In this paper, we explore the nature of this transition in the case of coupling to a single port. We find that for a given pulse shape, the properties of the transition are universal if time is properly normalized. We define the crossover time to be the time at which the deviations from the mean of the reflected power in individual realizations become comparable to the mean reflected power. We demonstrate numerically that, for randomly chosen cavity realizations and given pulse shapes, the probability distribution function of reflected power depends only on time, normalized to this crossover time.

description: We study the transition between a Coulomb phase and a dimer crystal observed in numerical simulations of the three-dimensional classical dimer model, by mapping it to a quantum model of bosons in two dimensions. The quantum phase transition that results, from a superfluid to a Mott insulator at fractional filling, belongs to a class that cannot be described within the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. Using a second mapping, to a dual model of vortices, we show that the long-wavelength physics near the transition is described by a U(1) gauge theory with SU(2) matter fields.

title: Use of Natural Antioxidants to Control Oxidative Rancidity in Cooked Meats
Creators: name: Vasavada, Mihir
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: The research in this dissertation focused on determining antioxidant effects of various natural antioxidants in cooked meat systems. Milk mineral (MM), spices, and raisin paste were used in cooked meat systems to verify their potential antioxidant properties.
The MM study determined the antioxidant activity of 1.5% MM added to uncured cooked beef meatballs, and possible additive effects of MM in combination with 20-ppm or 40-ppm sodium nitrate in cooked beef sausages . There was no additive inhibition of lipid oxidation in samples containing 20-ppm or 40-ppm sodium nitrite plus 1.5% MM. Cooked meat yield was not different between control meatballs and those containing MM. As expected, treatments containing nitrite had higher redness (a*) values than samples without nitrite. The MM at 1.5% was a very effective antioxidant as compared to controls.
The Garam Masala (GM) study determined the antioxidant effects and sensory attributes of the individual spices in an Indian spice blend GM in cooked ground beef, and possible additive antioxidant effects between Type I and Type II antioxidants. All spices had antioxidant effects on cooked ground beef, compared to controls without spices, with cloves being the most effective. All spices at their lowest effective recommended level effectively lowered the perception of rancid odor and rancid flavor in cooked ground beef as compared to control samples. As expected, most spices also imparted distinctive flavors to the cooked ground beef. Type II antioxidants (iron binding phosphate compounds) were more effective than individual Type I antioxidants (spices and butylated hydroxytoluene; BHT) in cooked ground beef. There was a positive additive antioxidant effect seen with rosemary + MM and rosemary + sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) treatments as compared to individual rosemary treatment. There was no additive antioxidant effect observed for other combinations of spices with phosphate antioxidants.
The raisin study was done to determine the antioxidant activity of raisin paste added to cooked ground beef, pork, and chicken. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values were measured using the distillation method, on the distillates, to avoid interference from sugar in the raisins. Beef, pork, and chicken flavor intensity, rancid flavor intensity, and raisin flavor intensity were evaluated by a trained sensory panel (n = 6). Addition of 2% raisin paste effectively inhibited rancid flavor development for 14 days after cooking in cooked ground beef, pork, and chicken. Sugar added at levels equivalent to that contributed by the raisins inhibited rancidity, probably due to antioxidant effects of Maillard browning products, suggesting that the antioxidant effect of raisins was due to their sugar content.

description: Molecular epidemiology studies have identified HLA-B*58:01 as a protective HIV allele. However, not all B*58:01-expressing persons exhibit slow HIV disease progression. We followed six HLA-B*58:01-positive, HIV subtype C-infected individuals for up to 31 months from the onset of infection and observed substantial variability in their clinical progression despite comparable total breadths of T cell responses. We therefore investigated additional immunological and virological factors that could explain their different disease trajectories. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses during acute infection predominantly targeted the TW10 and KF9 epitopes in p24Gag and Nef, respectively. Failure to target the TW10 epitope in one B*58:01-positive individual was associated with low CD4+ counts and rapid disease progression. Among those targeting TW10, escape mutations arose within 2 to 15 weeks of infection. Rapid escape was associated with preexisting compensatory mutations in the transmitted viruses, which were present at a high frequency (69%) in the study population. At 1 year postinfection, B*58:01-positive individuals who targeted and developed escape mutations in the TW10 epitope (n = 5) retained significantly higher CD4+ counts (P = 0.04), but not lower viral loads, than non-B*58:01-positive individuals (n = 17). The high population-level frequency of these compensatory mutations may be limiting the protective effect of the B*58:01 allele.

description: The Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider has collected approximately 800 million Upsilon(4S) events in its decade of operation. The KEKB group has proposed Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB to increase the luminosity by two orders of magnitude during a three-year shutdown, with an ultimate goal of 8E35/cm^2/s luminosity. To exploit the increased luminosity, an upgrade of the Belle detector has been proposed. A new international collaboration Belle-II, is being formed, with a broader participation of European institutes. Super-KEKB and Belle-II were officially placed on the KEK 5-year Roadmap in early 2008. The paper presents physics motivation, basic methods of the accelerator upgrade, as well as key improvements of the detector. More details are given on the DEPFET pixel detector that will be completely built in Europe.

description: The 10th International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Sciences was convened at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where 350 researchers presented talks and posters on topics including climate change, biotic evolution, magmatic processes, surface processes, tectonics, geodynamics, and the cryosphere. The symposium resulted in 335 peer-reviewed papers, 225 of which are published online). A proceedings book will also be published by the National Academies Press. Advances in our understanding of Antarctic tectonics were many, often involving techniques that provide information under ice sheets or from proxies such as glacial till to provide clues on provenance. John Goodge (University of Minnesota-Duluth) and coworkers reported a 1440-million-year-old granite boulder from glacial till from the Nimrod Glacier that can be matched to North American Laurentian province granites, supporting the postulated (Southwest U.S.—East Antarctica (SWEAT) hypothesis) fit of East Antarctica and North America more than 1 billion years ago. Considerable debate concerned the formation of the Transantarctic Mountains and the role of plateau collapse.

National urban growth strategy in Canada
Creators: name: Cameron, Kenneth Duncan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this study, an attempt is made to discover evidence of the presence of a national strategy for urban growth during the period from 1945 to 1969. Data for this examination consists of the federal throne speeches of the period, a selection of major pieces of federal legislation, and the debates in the House of Commons concerning this legislation. A basis for discussion is laid by an examination of the nature of urban growth strategies, the state of theory explaining urban and regional development, and a brief discussion of the experience of selected foreign countries in national urban growth strategy. Results of the examination of the speeches, legislation, and debate are presented in detail in two appendixes, while more general summaries appear in the main body of the paper. A conception of the fragmented nature of the phenomena studied emerges in relation to both housing and urban development policy, and area and regional development policy. However, a steady broadening of the perspective of the federal government is noted in both areas, which is a prerequisite for an effective national strategy. It is concluded that these two areas of federal policy concerning the distribution of activity in space have yet to be merged into a comprehensive strategy, and that the government has not yet considered introducing a regional dimension into the entire range of its activities. Thus, the evolution of national urban strategy in Canada continues, and suggestions for future research are offered
title: Applications of Relative Motion Models Using Curvilinear Coordinate Frames
Creators: name: Perez, Alex C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: A new angles-only initial relative orbit determination (IROD) algorithm is derived using three line-of-sight observations. This algorithm accomplishes this by taking a Singular Value Decomposition of a 6x6 matrix to arrive at an approximate initial relative orbit determination solution. This involves the approximate solution of 6 polynomial equations in 6 unknowns. An iterative improvement algorithm is also derived that provides the exact solution, to numerical precision, of the 6 polynomial equations in 6 unknowns. The initial relative orbit algorithm is also expanded for more than three line-of-sight observations with an iterative improvement algorithm for more than three line-of-sight observations. The algorithm is tested for a range of relative motion cases in low earth orbit and geosynchronous orbit, with and without the inclusion of J2 perturbations and with camera measurement errors. The performance of the IROD algorithm is evaluated for these cases and show that the tool is most accurate at low inclinations and eccentricities. Results are also presented that show the importance of including J2 perturbations when modelling the relative orbital motion for accurate IROD estimates. This research was funded in part by the Air Force Research Lab, Albuquerque, NM.

Influence of non-dipole field on determination of Plio-Pleistocene true polar wander

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Geophysics

description: Some studies of global paleomagnetic data have found an offset of the magnetic pole during the Plio-Pleistocene which has been interpreted as indicating a period of rapid True Polar Wander, with a rate of movement comparable to the present-day rate of polar motion deduced from astronomical observations. We show that much of the polar offset determined from the paleomagnetic data may be due to deviations in pole position caused by persistent non-dipole zonal components of the geomagnetic field. A correction of paleomagnetic poles for the long-term non-dipole field reduces the polar offset and thus suggests a slower or shorter episode of True Polar Wander over the past 5 million years.

On the Origin of the Standardization Sensitivity in RegEM Climate Field Reconstructions

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Atmosphere

description: The regularized expectation maximization (RegEM) method has been used in recent studies to derive climate field reconstructions of Northern Hemisphere temperatures during the last millennium. Original pseudoproxy experiments that tested RegEM [with ridge regression regularization (RegEM-Ridge)] standardized the input data in a way that improved the performance of the reconstruction method, but included data from the reconstruction interval for estimates of the mean and standard deviation of the climate field—information that is not available in real-world reconstruction problems. When standardizations are confined to the calibration interval only, pseudoproxy reconstructions performed with RegEM-Ridge suffer from warm biases and variance losses. Only cursory explanations of this so-called standardization sensitivity of RegEM-Ridge have been published, but they have suggested that the selection of the regularization (ridge) parameter by means of minimizing the generalized cross validation (GCV) function is the source of the effect. The origin of the standardization sensitivity is more thoroughly investigated herein and is shown not to be associated with the selection of the ridge parameter; sets of derived reconstructions reveal that GCV-selected ridge parameters are minimally different for reconstructions standardized either over both the reconstruction and calibration interval or over the calibration interval only. While GCV may select ridge parameters that are different from those that precisely minimize the error in pseudoproxy reconstructions, RegEM reconstructions performed with truly optimized ridge parameters are not significantly different from those that use GCV-selected ridge parameters. The true source of the standardization sensitivity is attributable to the inclusion or exclusion of additional information provided by the reconstruction interval, namely, the mean and standard deviation fields computed for the complete modeled dataset. These fields are significantly different from those for the calibration period alone because of the violation of a standard EM assumption that missing values are missing at random in typical paleoreconstruction problems; climate data are predominantly missing in the preinstrumental period when the mean climate was significantly colder than the mean of the instrumental period. The origin of the standardization sensitivity therefore is not associated specifically with RegEM-Ridge, and more recent attempts to regularize the EM algorithm using truncated total least squares could theoretically also be susceptible to the problems affecting RegEM-Ridge. Nevertheless, the principal failure of RegEM-Ridge arises because of a poor initial estimate of the mean field, and therefore leaves open the possibility that alternative methods may perform better.

description: 4-H Youth and Families with Promise (4-H YFP) is a one to one youth mentoring program that aims to help youth obtain skills that will help them to be successful. The purpose of this research was to determine if any positive outcomes were shown of youth participating in 4-H YFP. Positive outcomes were identified as peer social competence, greater ability to make positive choices, the development of effective communication skills, building connections, and contributing to the community. Results show that these outcomes positively increased among youth participants in the 4-H YFP program- but the changes were too small to be of any significance. Results also show that the longer youth are enrolled in the program, the greater their peer social competence, ability to make positive choices, and effectively communicate.
Mitigating Memory-Safety Bugs with Efficient Out-of-Process Integrity Checking

Subjects: subject: 80303 Computer System Security

description: Computer programs written in low-level languages with manual memory management, like C and C++, can contain unintentional memory-safety bugs [175] due to developer error. Examples of these bugs include spatial buffer overflows, as well as temporal use-after-frees and double frees, which can be leveraged by attackers to exploit programs by altering their runtime behavior. Indeed, statistics from both Google Chrome [1] and Microsoft [129] show that ~70% of all security vulnerabilities in their codebases involve memory-safety bugs. Past work, as discussed in Chapter 2, has proposed various strategies to eagerly detect or lazily mitigate such bugs. Eager approaches detect memory-safety bugs by checkingpointer operations (§2.1), whereas lazy mitigations prevent exploitation by validating program data (§2.4, §2.5). To improve accuracy, mitigations may need to maintain internalstate (metadata) about program execution, which must also be protected from corruption. This has been achieved using different techniques, including software-based addressspace partitioning (§2.2), and hardware-based fine-grained instruction monitoring (§2.3). Nevertheless, these approaches suffer from significant complexity, brittleness, or incompatibility, which reduces their efficiency and effectiveness. In this thesis, we observe that existing mitigations are limited by their decision to maintain internal metadata within the same process. We show that augmenting hardware with a small, secure, and efficient AppendWrite inter-process communication (IPC) primitiveallows metadata storage and policy checking to be performed in a separate isolated process, which improves both security and performance. We implement this design inour HerQules [42] framework, which we use to develop new approaches for control-flow integrity and data-flow integrity that are more precise than past work. We evaluate ourdesigns on a variety of real-world programs, including multiple benchmark suites, the NGINX web server, and the Google Chromium web browser.

description: The source J 1128+5925 was found recently to show strong intraday variability at radio wavelengths and its radio variability may come from interstellar scintillation. In optical, the object was quiet in our 2007 monitoring session. Here we report the results of our new optical monitoring of this source in 2008. In addition to confirm our 2007 results, that the object did not display any clear variation on timescales from hour--day to month, we provide evidence that the object does not vary on timescale of one year, and it is probably intrinsically quiet in optical domain. Its very different behaviors in optical and radio regimes can be naturally explained if its strong radio variability comes from interstellar scintillation.

description: The pre-drift Wegenerian model of Pangea is almost universally accepted, but debate exists on its pre-Jurassic configuration since Ted Irving introduced Pangea 'B' by placing Gondwana farther to the east by ∼3000 km with respect to Laurasia on the basis of paleomagnetic data. New paleomagnetic data from radiometrically dated Early Permian volcanic rocks from parts of Adria that are tectonically coherent with Africa (Gondwana), integrated with published coeval data from Gondwana and Laurasia, again only from igneous rocks, fully support a Pangea 'B' configuration in the Early Permian. The use of paleomagnetic data strictly from igneous rocks excludes artifacts from sedimentary inclination error as a contributing explanation for Pangea 'B'. The ultimate option to reject Pangea 'B' is to abandon the geocentric axial dipole hypothesis by introducing a significant non-dipole (zonal octupole) component in the Late Paleozoic time-averaged geomagnetic field. We demonstrate, however, by using a dataset consisting entirely of paleomagnetic directions with low inclinations from sampling sites confined to one hemisphere from Gondwana as well as Laurasia that the effects of a zonal octupole field contribution would not explain away the paleomagnetic evidence for Pangea 'B' in the Early Permian. We therefore regard the paleomagnetic evidence for an Early Permian Pangea 'B' as robust. The transformation from Pangea 'B' to Pangea 'A' took place during the Permian because Late Permian paleomagnetic data allow a Pangea 'A' configuration. We therefore review geological evidence from the literature in support of an intra-Pangea dextral megashear system. The transformation occurred after the cooling of the Variscan mega-suture and lasted ∼20 Myr. In this interval, the Neotethys Ocean opened between India/Arabia and the Cimmerian microcontinents in the east, while widespread lithospheric wrenching and magmatism took place in the west around the Adriatic promontory. The general distribution of plate boundaries and resulting driving forces are qualitatively consistent with a right-lateral shear couple between Gondwana and Laurasia during the Permian. Transcurrent plate boundaries associated with the Pangea transformation reactivated Variscan shear zones and were subsequently exploited by the opening of western Neotethyan seaways in the Jurassic.
A study of Langerhans cells in lupus erythematosus, lichens [sic] planus, leprosy and mycosis fungoides in Singapore

description: Langerhans cells were studied on 184 cases of four major skin diseases - lupus erythematosus, lichen planus, leprosy, mycosis fungoides, and 44 skin biopsies from cadaver. In addition, T cell phenotyping and antibody tracing in tissues were performed on 20 cases of lupus erythematosus and 10 cases of uninvolved normal skin as controls. Antibody serology was also investigated on 120 leprosy cases and 16 cutaneous erythematosus cases. Electron microscopy was used to examine the lesions in lepromatous leprosy and mycosis fungoides. Langerhans cells were elevated in number per mm. epidermal length in lichen planus, leprosy, and mycosis fungoides. In lupus erythematosus, LC distribution in the epidermis was elevated in the chronic stage, while in the acute stage LC numbers were decreased. In the dermis of these four skin conditions, LC were observed especially in the dermal infiltrates. In the control skin, it was found that there was no difference in LC number per mm. epidermal length in Chinese, Malays and Indians. Sunlight showed an adverse effect on LC distribution in the epidermis of control skin. The difference between tanned skin and untanned skin was statistically significant. It was also observed that in control skin, there was a correlation between LC distribution and increasing age but such correlation was absent in the diseased skin. The findings in this study provide information on the role of LC in diseased skin in the Singapore population. Further study is required to link the distribution of LC in the skin with T cell phenotype, lymphocyte function, serology and HLA markers. This might provide a greater understanding of lupus erythematosus, lichen planus, leprosy and mycosis fungoides.
Paleomagnetic study of 143 Ma kimberlite dikes in central New York State

description: A palaeomagnetic study of 143 Ma serpentinized kimberlite dikes near Ithaca, New York, yields a dual-polarity, high unblocking temperature, and high coercivity magnetization which passes the reversal test and two baked contact tests. The mean pole position (58"N, 203"E; A95 = 3.8", N = 7) differs from published late Jurassic-early Cretaceous North American poles currently used to define the apparent polar wander path. The angular dispersion in mean directions (863 =3.5") is low but the presence of reversals argues that the Ithaca kimberlites magnetization should represent sufficient time for averaging of palaeosecular variation. Similar findings apparently typify palaeomagnetic studies of other serpentinized kimberlite, supporting the suggestion that thermo-chemical remanent magnetization in this lithology prolongs the duration of magnetization acquisition sufficiently to average secular variation per dike. A consistent but weak foliation in anisotropy of ARM parallels the N-S and vertical orientation of the Ithaca dikes, but ips aparently unrelated to the northwest-down or southeast-up remanence. The Ithaca kimberlites pole may therefore record a previously undocumented sharp bend or 'cusp' at -143Ma, and the initiation of a Cretaceous and Cenozoic interval of apparent polar wander that generally follows a great circle along the 200"E meridian to geographic north. A coeval (-145 Ma) kimberlite pole from southern Africa transferred to North America agrees with the Ithaca kimberlites pole position whereas reported poles from the Berriasian stratotype (southern France) and 144Ma Svalbard dolerites provide less diagnostic tests of the Ithaca kimberlites pole due in part to uncertainties in Europe-North America reconstructions.

description: Storm tracks play a major role in regulating the precipitation and hydrological cycle in midlatitudes. The changes in the location and amplitude of the storm tracks in response to global warming will have significant impacts on the poleward transport of heat, momentum and moisture and on the hydrological cycle. Recent studies have indicated a poleward shift of the storm tracks and the midlatitude precipitation zone in the warming world that will lead to subtropical drying and higher latitude moistening. This study agrees with this key feature for not only the annual mean but also different seasons and for the zonal mean as well as horizontal structures based on the analysis of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) CM2.1 model simulations. Further analyses show that the meridional sensible and latent heat fluxes associated with the storm tracks shift poleward and intensify in both boreal summer and winter in the late twenty-first century (years 2081-2100) relative to the latter half of the twentieth century (years 1961-2000). The maximum dry Eady growth rate is examined to determine the effect of global warming on the time mean state and associated available potential energy for transient growth. The trend in maximum Eady growth rate is generally consistent with the poleward shift and intensification of the storm tracks in the middle latitudes of both hemispheres in both seasons. However, in the lower troposphere in northern winter, increased meridional eddy transfer within the storm tracks is more associated with increased eddy velocity, stronger correlation between eddy velocity and eddy moist static energy, and longer eddy length scale. The changing characteristics of baroclinic instability are, therefore, needed to explain the storm track response as climate warms. Diagnosis of the latitude-by-latitude energy budget for the current and future climate demonstrates how the coupling between radiative and surface heat fluxes and eddy heat and moisture transport influences the midlatitude storm track response to global warming. Through radiative forcing by increased atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor, more energy is gained within the tropics and subtropics, while in the middle and high latitudes energy is reduced through increased outgoing terrestrial radiation in the Northern Hemisphere and increased ocean heat uptake in the Southern Hemisphere. This enhanced energy imbalance in the future climate requires larger atmospheric energy transports in the midlatitudes which are partially accomplished by intensified storm tracks. Finally a sequence of cause and effect for the storm track response in the warming world is proposed that combines energy budget constraints with baroclinic instability theory.

description: We report on specific heat measurements in Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ ($x\le 0.6$). For the underdoped sample with $x=0.2$ both the spin-density-wave transition at $T = 100$ K and the superconducting transition at 23 K can be identified. The electronic contribution to the specific heat in the superconducting state for concentrations in the vicinity of optimal doping $x=0.4$ can be well described by a full single-gap within the BCS limit.

title: Recreation Community Branding: A Comparative Analysis within Utah’s Wasatch Front
Creators: name: Smith, Lynda D. D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: This study demonstrates the role recreational amenities play in contributing to the brand identity and sense of place in Utah master planned communities (MPCs). These MPCs are designed to enable residents to live, work, and play within close proximity within a styled built environment. While the built environment is often branded with a particular identity, these identities resonates with other attributes of the community, including recreation amenities. The study focused on MPCs along the Wasatch Front in Utah, since Utah’s population, along the Wasatch Front, is expected to double by 2050 (Envision Utah, n.d.). Many of the developments being built in the next few years will likely be MPCs (Costley, 2006). Understanding MPCs and the recreation amenities in the communities will help to shape the future developments along the Wasatch Front.
This study evaluates the recreation amenities in four Utah MPC using a comparative case study method. The case study research was completed through the use of a review of literature, content analysis of the communities’ online presence, the observation of the built environment and focused interviews with community residents, city planners, and developers. This process demonstrated the role recreation was playing in creating a brand identity for the selected MPCs and contributing to the brand identity and sense of place within MPCs.
Utah is posed to grow rapidly in the next 35 years and development will be driven by future MPCs. Utah has a self-identified brand of recreation, which developers are using to enhance the community brand identity of their MPCs. Developers include particular recreational amenities and programs in MPCs in Utah because of how they contribute to communities’ sense of place.
Understanding how recreation enhances the brand identity of MPCs can be applied to future developments and help developers strengthen community sense of place through the use of recreation branding. Overall it was found that recreation enhances the brand identity of MPCs within Utah’s Wasatch Front. Whether it was adding value for the developers and residents or if it was by creating a sense of community; recreation was enhancing the brand identity of these MPCs.

description: We report techniques and results of a Palomar 200-inch (5 m) adaptive optics imaging survey of sub-stellar companions to solar-type stars. The survey consists of Ks coronagraphic observations of 21 FGK dwarfs out to 20 pc (median distance about 17 pc). At 1-arcsec separation (17 projected AU) from a typical target system, the survey achieves median sensitivities 7 mag fainter than the parent star. In terms of companion mass, that corresponds to sensitivities of 50MJ (1 Gyr), 70MJ (solar age), and 75MJ (10 Gyr), using the evolutionary models of Baraffe and colleagues. Using common proper motion to distinguish companions from field stars, we find that no system shows positive evidence of a previously unknown substellar companion (searchable separation about 20-250 projected AU at the median target distance).

description: Расширение состязательных начал в уголовном судопроизводстве и повышение объективности процесса доказывания должно осуществляться в соответствии с логикой, смыслом и духом действующего уголовно-процессуального законодательства. Поэтому все доказательства, установленные в соответствии с уголовно-процессуальным законом, должны проверяться с точки зрения их относимости, допустимости и достоверности. Провозглашение самостоятельности суда изменяет его значение в уголовном судопроизводстве. Поэтому возникает вопрос совершенствования процесса доказывания и выявление роли суда в нем, поскольку изменилось само назначение уголовного судопроизводства защита прав, законных интересов лиц и организаций, потерпевших от преступлений; защита личности от незаконного и необоснованного обвинения, осуждения, ограничения ее прав и свобод. Еще одним направлением, подтверждающим актуальность исследования, является необходимость разграничения роли суда и сторон в процессе доказывания.
