description: Chemical tagging is a powerful tool to reveal the origin of stars and globular clusters (GCs), especially when dynamics alone cannot provide robust answers. So far, mostly $α$- and neutron capture elements have been used to distinguish stars born in the Milky Way (MW) from those born in external environments such as that of dwarf galaxies. Here, instead, we use iron-peak elements abundances to investigate the origin of a sample of metal-rich globular clusters. By homogeneously analyzing high-resolution UVES spectra of giant stars belonging to four metal-rich GCs (namely NGC 5927, NGC 6388, NGC 6441, NGC 6496), we find that while the $α$-elements Si and Ca have similar abundance ratios for all the four GCs, and Ti and neutron capture elements (La, Ba and Eu) only show a marginal discrepancy, a stark difference is found when considering the abundances of some iron-peak elements (Sc, V and Zn). In particular, NGC 6388 and NGC 6441 have abundance ratios for these iron-peak elements significantly lower (by ~ 0.5 dex) than those measured in NGC 5927 and NGC 6496, which are clearly identified as born in-situ MW clusters through an analysis of their orbital properties. These measurements indicate that the environment in which these clusters formed is different, and provide robust evidence supporting an accreted origin from the same progenitor for NGC 6388 and NGC 6441.

description: In his paper, "Graduate Education in Psychology - A Passionate Statement" Carl Rogers (1957) has stated, 'We are doing an unintelligent, ineffectual and wasteful job of preparing psychologists, to the detriment of our discipline and society. “” He further stated, 'We should be selecting and training individuals for creative effectiveness in seeking out and discovering the significant new knowledge which is meeded." He then examines ten implicit assumptions on which programs of graduate education appear to be based, showing them to be totally inadequate in training future psychologists. It is time to reevaluate the purpose, procedure, and content of graduate programs in psychology.

description: We report on the creation of a degenerate Fermi gas consisting of a balanced mixture of atoms in three different hyperfine states of $^6$Li. This new system consists of three distinguishable Fermions with different and tunable interparticle scattering lengths $a_{12}$, $a_{13}$ and $a_{23}$. We are able to prepare samples containing $5 \cdot 10^4$ atoms in each state at a temperature of about $215 $nK, which corresponds to $T/T_F \approx 0.37$. We investigated the collisional stability of the gas for magnetic fields between 0 and 600 G and found a prominent loss feature at 130 G. From lifetime measurements we determined three-body loss coefficients, which vary over nearly three orders of magnitude.

title: Tree-based Regression for Interval-valued Data
Creators: name: Yeh, Chih-Ching
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Regression methods for interval-valued data have been increasingly studied in recent years. As most of the existing works focus on linear models, it is important to note that many problems in practice are nonlinear in nature and therefore development of nonlinear regression tools for intervalvalued data is crucial. In this project, we propose a tree-based regression method for interval-valued data, which is well applicable to both linear and nonlinear problems. Unlike linear regression models that usually require additional constraints to ensure positivity of the predicted interval length, the proposed method estimates the regression function in a nonparametric way, so the predicted length is naturally positive without any constraints. A simulation study is conducted that compares our method to popular existing regression models for interval-valued data under both linear and nonlinear settings. Furthermore, a real data example is presented where we apply our method to analyze price range data of the Dow Jones Industrial Average index and its component stocks.

description: Recent experiments showed that the conductance of Pt nanocontacts and nanowires is measurably reduced by adsorption of CO. We present DFT calculations of the electronic structure and ballistic conductance of a Pt monoatomic chain and a CO molecule adsorbed in an on-top position. We find that the main electronic molecule-chain interaction occurs via the $5σ$ and $2π^{\star}$ orbitals of the molecule, involved in a donation/back-donation process similar to that of CO on transition-metal surfaces. The ideal ballistic conductance of the monoatomic chain undergoes a moderate reduction by about 1.0 G_0 (from 4 G_0 to 3.1 G_0) upon adsorption of CO. By repeating all calculations with and without spin-orbit coupling, no substantial spin-orbit induced change emerges either in the chain-molecule interaction mechanism or in the conductance.

description: Camera arrays provide spatial and angular information within a single snapshot. With refocusing methods, focal planes can be altered after exposure. In this letter, we propose a light field refocusing method to improve the imaging quality of camera arrays. In our method, the disparity is first estimated. Then, the unfocused region (bokeh) is rendered by using a depth-based anisotropic filter. Finally, the refocused image is produced by a reconstruction-based superresolution approach where the bokeh image is used as a regularization term. Our method can selectively refocus images with focused region being superresolved and bokeh being aesthetically rendered. Our method also enables postadjustment of depth of field. We conduct experiments on both public and self-developed datasets. Our method achieves superior visual performance with acceptable computational cost as compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

description: We integrate numerically the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions using an Euler discretization scheme and the replacement of ${(\nabla h)}^2$ by exponentially decreasing functions of that quantity to suppress instabilities. When applied to the equation in 1+1 dimensions, the method of instability control provides values of scaling amplitudes consistent with exactly known results, in contrast to the deviations generated by the original scheme. In 2+1 dimensions, we spanned a range of the model parameters where transients with Edwards-Wilkinson or random growth are not bserved, in box sizes $8\leq L\leq 128$. We obtain roughness exponent $0.37\leq α\leq 0.40$ and steady state height distributions with skewness $S= 0.25\pm 0.01$ and kurtosis $Q= 0.15\pm 0.1$. These estimates are obtained after extrapolations to the large $L$ limit, which is necessary due to significant finite-size effects in the estimates of effective exponents and height distributions. On the other hand, the steady state roughness distributions show weak scaling corrections and evidence of stretched exponentials tails. These results confirm previous estimates from lattice models, showing their reliability as representatives of the KPZ class.

Creators: name: Taylor, Temis G.

description: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (2001) reports that habitat destruction is the main factor responsible for species endangerment. Trends in land use and expansion of urban areas into adjacent open space will continue to consume land and fragment or destroy habitat (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , 2001). Studies have shown that habitat loss negatively impacts overall species abundance and reduces biodiversity (Andren, 1997; Fischer & Lindenmayer, 2007; Hansen et al., 2005; McKinney, 2002; Pimm & Raven, 2000; Sole, Alonso, & Saldafia, 2004, and others). Habitat destruction and fragmentation are believed to be core causes for biodiversity decline, although species' responses to fragmentation differs (Debinski & Holt, 2000; Forman & Alexander, 1998). Reasons for desiring to protect biodiversity range from moral to ecological to economic (Ehrlich & Daily, 1993; Spash & Hanley, 1995; Tilman, 2000). Ehrlich (1993) asserts that preservation of habitat and protection from fragmentation is the critical policy prescription for biodiversity preservation and ecosystem functions. Effective, systematic conservation includes efficient use of limited resources toward goals, and defensibility and flexibility when faced with competing land uses (Margules & Pressey, 2000).

description: We present a means of formulating and solving the well known structure-and-motion problem in computer vision with probabilistic graphical models. We model the unknown camera poses and 3D feature coordinates as well as the observed 2D projections as Gaussian random variables, using sigma point parameterizations to effectively linearize the nonlinear relationships between these variables. Those variables involved in every projection are grouped into a cluster, and we connect the clusters in a cluster graph. Loopy belief propagation is performed over this graph, in an iterative re-initialization and estimation procedure, and we find that our approach shows promise in both simulation and on real-world data. The PGM is easily extendable to include additional parameters or constraints.

title: Revegetation of Denuded High Elevation Watersheds in Mustang, Nepal
Creators: name: Upadhya, Madhukar
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Lack of vegetative cover largely caused by such human activities as firewood collection, intensive grazing, and deforestation have accelerated the process of desertification at high elevation watersheds in Nepal. Mountain environment at high elevation is delicate and regeneration of vegetation is slow. Livestock grazing and firewood collection are the basic needs of the people. However, constant human pressure on natural vegetation upsets the hydrologic processes and results in disastrous soil erosion. Desertification caused by long-term soil erosion in semi-arid regions of Mustang district (a severely desertified, high elevation area) in Nepal probably indicates the future of other high elevation watersheds, if corrective measures are not implemented to reduce the rate of degredation of mountain environment. Revegetation of denuded watersheds is not only important to reduce further deterioration of the watersheds but also necessary to produce adequate forage and firewood to meet the demand of years to come. One of the ways of reclaiming desertified land is by revegetation, but vegetation establishment at high elevation is difficult due to various climatic stresses. With little information about vegetation-climate-human interactions at high elevations, revegetation of denuded high elevation watersheds in Mustang has been difficult. In this thesis I review literature on causes of desertification in semi-arid areas; plant responses and functions under different climatic stresses such as water, wind, and salinity; problems associated with vegetation establishment under climatic stress conditions; and reclamation techniques developed by the U.S. scientists in reclaming surface mines of the western United States. Land disturbed by surface mining in the western U.S. has some similarities with desertified land. However, surface mine spoils may pose similar or in some cases greater difficulties in reclamation than desertified areas if there are toxic materials in the mine spoils. There is potential for application of some of the mine spoil revegetation techniques in semi-arid regions of Mustang. Revegetation techniques developed by the U.S. scientists may be applicable in Mustang. However, field research is necessary in revegetation of high elevation watersheds of Mustang. Specific recommendations in order of priority with regard to rehabilitation and development of forage and firewood resources in denuded watersheds of Mustang have been presented.

Behaviour and applications of elastic waves in structures and metamaterials
Creators: name: Miniaci, Marco <1986>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: ICAR/08 Scienza delle costruzioni

description: The present thesis focuses on elastic waves behaviour in ordinary structures as well as in acousto-elastic metamaterials via numerical and experimental applications.

After a brief introduction on the behaviour of elastic guided waves in the framework of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) and on the study of elastic waves propagation in acousto-elastic metamaterials, dispersion curves for thin-walled beams and arbitrary cross-section waveguides are extracted via Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE) methods. Thus, a novel strategy tackling signal dispersion to locate defects in irregular waveguides is proposed and numerically validated. Finally, a time-reversal and laser-vibrometry based procedure for impact location is numerically and experimentally tested.

In the second part, an introduction and a brief review of the basic definitions necessary to describe acousto-elastic metamaterials is provided. A numerical approach to extract dispersion properties in such structures is highlighted. Afterwards, solid-solid and solid-fluid phononic systems are discussed via numerical applications. In particular, band structures and transmission power spectra are predicted for 1P-2D, 2P-2D and 2P-3D phononic systems. In addition, attenuation bands in the ultrasonic as well as in the sonic frequency regimes are experimentally investigated. In the experimental validation, PZTs in a pitch-catch configuration and laser vibrometric measurements are performed on a PVC phononic plate in the ultrasonic frequency range and sound insulation index is computed for a 2P-3D phononic barrier in the sonic frequency range. In both cases the numerical-experimental results comparison confirms the existence of the numerical predicted band-gaps.

Finally, the feasibility of an innovative passive isolation strategy based on giant elastic metamaterials is numerically proved to be practical for civil structures. In particular, attenuation of seismic waves is demonstrated via finite elements analyses. Further, a parametric study shows that depending on the soil properties, such an earthquake-proof barrier could lead to significant reduction of the superstructure displacement.

title: Impact of Development on Traditional Pastoralism in Somalia
Creators: name: Handulle, Abdulkadir A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: The Somali pastoral nomads live in an environmental condition of risk and uncertainty. The scarce and unreliable rainfall is the primary element ·which determines the existence of nomadic pastoralism. The lands devoted to pastoralism in Somalia are those arid and semi-arid areas that could not sustain cropping, so that pastoralism may be considered the only rational utilization of the land resource. Nomads live in an environment where the survival of both animals and plants are constrained by many factors such as droughts. Yet, both nomads and their animals have evolved by learning numerous adaptive strategies to cope with their harsh, unpredictable environment. Mobility is the primary means by which Somali pastoralists compensate for the sparse and unpredictable resources which characterize the arid environment. It is a strategy of risk aversion, crisis survival, and a way of exploiting a rangeland poorly endowed with moisture. The use of different species of livestock common to arid environments by nomadic pastoralist is based on pragmatic considerations. The practice has both ecological and economic implications. Different species utilize different ecological niches more efficiently than single species. Resistance to drought also differs, as does reproductive rate and maturation rate. Therefore, by keeping a mixture of small and large stock, Somali pastoralists are able to exploit an environment which could not be as productive otherwise, and each specie provides a valuable resource. Camels, for example, are kept mainly for milk and transportation, sheep and goats as a source of meat, and cash income. Various rangeland development projects and programs were undertaken as part of an effort to improve the range resource and to alleviate constraints in livestock production. development projects have been implemented. Four successive range These include the present on-going Central Rangeland Development Project in addition to three other projects in the northern part of the country. Lack of baseline data and inadequate numbers of qualified people were the principal problems encountered. The formation of an agency responsible for all range activities in the country was one of the major achievements. Various interventions have resulted in unanticipated long-term environmental degradation and have had a detrimental impact on the fragile pastoral ecosystem. The development of stock water points as well as veterinary services have caused more harm than help. Above all, Nomadic pastoralism makes use of an environment which is difficult to manipulate in light of present technology and social institution. It is recommended that any development program plan should consider basic factors contributing to the nomadic land use. Also, research is needed to mitigate the impact of dynamic environment. The underlying problems are mainly due to increasing human population and refusal of policy makers to understand the complexity of pastoral ecosystems.

description: There is much controversy on the definition given to those people who raise livestock on the natural vegetation. Differences in the degree of their dependence on livestock and livestock products for food, as well as differences in the patterns of their movements, create the controversy. "Pure-pastoralists", "nomadic pastoralists", "semi - pastoralists", "semi-nomadic", "transhumant", and "semisedentary" are but some of the many terms used in the literature to describe them (see, for example, Johnson, 1969; Jacobs, 1965; McGee, 1986; Horowitz, 1981). To avoid much of the confusion created by the use of these terms, we use the definition of pastoralists as " . . . people who derive most of their income or sustenance from keeping domestic livestock in conditions where most of the feed that their livestock eat is natural forage rather than cultivated fodders and pastures", and who " ... devote the bulk of their own, and their families', working time and energy to looking after their livestock rather than to other economic activities" (Sandford, 1983:1). Pastoralists occupy most of the arid and semi-arid regions of Africa as the ecological conditions of these areas are mostly unfavorable for cultivation (McGee, 1986).

description: We study the effects of varying the pre-implant film thickness and implant temperature on the electrical and superconducting properties of metal-mixed ion-implanted polymers. We show that it is possible to drive a superconductor-insulator transition in these materials via control of the fabrication parameters. We observe peaks in the magnetoresistance and demonstrate that these are caused by the interplay between superconductivity and weak localization in these films, which occurs due to their granular structure. We compare these magnetoresistance peaks with those seen in unimplanted films and other organic superconductors, and show that they are distinctly different.

title: An Analysis of Institutional Approaches for Management of Common Rangeland Resources in Sub-Saharan Africa
Creators: name: Sekoto, Mohale Gabriel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: The purpose of this report is to address the issues that are relevant to the management of common rangeland resources in Sub-Saharan Africa. I feel that the issues presented here are among some of those which are important and need to be considered in order to understand the kind of performance perceived about the efforts to develop the range and livestock in pastoral societies. In this report, three case studies have been reviewed, regarding institutional approaches tried to manage common rangelands. These case studies are about group ranches in Kajiado District, Kenya and in Upper Volta and the Sehlabathebe Grazing Association in Lesotho. The performance for each approach is discussed and the analysis done. The analysis may indicate the implications of the issues on the performance of these approaches. This review paper ends with some conclusions and recommendations relevant to the country of Lesotho.

Statistical properties of subgroups of free groups

description: The usual way to investigate the statistical properties of finitely generated subgroups of free groups, and of finite presentations of groups, is based on the so-called word-based distribution: subgroups are generated (finite presentations are determined) by randomly chosen k-tuples of reduced words, whose maximal length is allowed to tend to infinity. In this paper we adopt a different, though equally natural point of view: we investigate the statistical properties of the same objects, but with respect to the so-called graph-based distribution, recently introduced by Bassino, Nicaud and Weil. Here, subgroups (and finite presentations) are determined by randomly chosen Stallings graphs whose number of vertices tends to infinity. Our results show that these two distributions behave quite differently from each other, shedding a new light on which properties of finitely generated subgroups can be considered frequent or rare. For example, we show that malnormal subgroups of a free group are negligible in the graph-based distribution, while they are exponentially generic in the word-based distribution. Quite surprisingly, a random finite presentation generically presents the trivial group in this new distribution, while in the classical one it is known to generically present an infinite hyperbolic group.

title: A Walk on the Wild Side: Conceptual Master Plan and Vegetation Management Plan for the Ogden Nature Center
Creators: name: Pyle, Beth G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: This report provides an introduction describing: 1) Ogden Nature Center site planning history; 2) background of the problem a) lack of a conceptual master plan which responds to current management objectives, b) lack of a vegetation management plan, and; 3) thesis objectives and methodology for the creation of conceptual master plan and vegetation management plan for the Ogden Nature Center. Chapter 2 presents a written discussion of the Ogden Nature Center site inventory drawings and site analysis. Chapter 3 delineates strategies for management of weedy vegetation including; a general discussion of management techniques, general criteria for the selection of weedy species to manage, species specific criteria for the selection of weedy species to manage, a section describing the selection of management techniques based on the capabilities of the Ogden Nature Center and the selected weedy species' characteristics, implementation of management techniques, monitoring of transects, and a conclusion proposing the most appropriate techniques for implementation at the Ogden Nature Center. Chapter 4 presents recommendations based on an evaluation of the information generated by this project and proposes tasks to be completed to assure long-term stability of plant communities on the site. The vegetation management plan drawing and the conceptual master plan drawing are included in this chapter. An outline of areas identified for further research appears in Appendix H.
Electric-field switchable magnetization via the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction: FeTiO_3 versus BiFeO_3

description: In this article we review and discuss a mechanism for coupling between electric polarization and magnetization that can ultimately lead to electric-field switchable magnetization. The basic idea is that a ferroelectric distortion in an antiferromagnetic material can "switch on" the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction which leads to a canting of the antiferromagnetic sublattice magnetizations, and thus to a net magnetization. This magnetization M is coupled to the polarization P via a trilinear free energy contribution of the form P(M x L), where L is the antiferromagnetic order parameter. In particular, we discuss why such an invariant is present in R3c FeTiO_3 but not in the isostructural multiferroic BiFeO_3. Finally, we construct symmetry groups that in general allow for this kind of ferroelectrically-induced weak ferromagnetism.
