title: Utah Employer Attitudes Towards Sponsoring Day Care for Employees
Creators: name: Hart, Diane
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purposes of this study were to: 1) examine and contrast hospital administrator attitudes and manufacturing company president (or manager) attitudes in relation to the possibility of having more Utah employers establish organized day care facilities on sites of employment, and 2) determine which factors of employee composition and available facilities and services affect employer attitudes towards day care involvement.
Information from the questionnaire developed for the study was statistically analyzed by the Pearson r correlation coefficient and one-way analysis of variance. Many factors proved to be statistically significant.
Overall, it was found that hospitals were more interested in day care involvement for their employees; children than were manufacturing companies. Large agencies with many female professional, supervisory, and skilled employees tended to be most interested in employer-sponsored day care. The existing presence of facilities and services that could be used for a day care center helped increase employer willingness to become involved in sponsoring day care for their employees' children.
In general, employers were not sure that employer-sponsored day care would result in significant benefits either to their agency or to the parents. However, the interest of employers in day care involvement increased as they perceived greater employer and parental benefits as a result.
It is recommended that benefits from employer-sponsored day care be further documented for use in educating employers. Further, it is recommended that the attitudes of school district superintendents and other employers with large numbers of female professional employees be analyzed in relation to employer-sponsored day care.
Effect of perceptual learning upon disappearances of luminous figures
Creators: name: More, Linda Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Perceptual learning was studied using luminous figures in a dark room. It was found that as a result of previous close temporal and spatial concurrence, discriminably different stimuli under reduced stimulation conditions disappear together more frequently than without such an association. This occurred despite a demonstrated link between identical stimuli prior to the learning experience. Moreover it was shown that the extent to which the stimuli subsequently "operated" together was a function of the frequency and duration of their previous joint occurrence. Temporal and spatial stimulus-stimulus relationships were manipulated and differences between sequential and simultaneous presentations and between different presentation rates were observed and discussed. The effect of auditory experience on subsequent disappearances of the same stimuli presented visually was also examined and the results supported the inter-modal perceptual learning hypothesis. The phenomena observed in all these experiments were interpreted in terms of Hebb's theory of perceptual association.

description: In this work, we consider a braneworld model with a timelike extra-dimension. There are strong constraints to the parameter values of such a model resulting from the claim that there must be a physical solution to the Friedmann equation at least between now and the time of recombination. We fitted the model to supernova type Ia data and checked the consistency of the result with other observations. For parameter values that are consistent with observations, the braneworld model is indistinguishable from a LambdaCDM universe as far as the considered cosmological tests are concerned.

description: Variational data assimilation technique applied to identification of optimal approximations of derivatives near boundary is discussed in frames of one-dimensional wave equation. Simplicity of the equation and of its numerical scheme allows us to discuss in detail as the development of the adjoint model and assimilation results. It is shown what kind of errors can be corrected by this control and how these errors are corrected. This study is carried out in view of using this control to identify optimal numerical schemes in coastal regions of ocean models.

description: The proof of gauge invariance of the quantum electrodynamics of photons and electrons does not apply directly to the quantum electrodynamics of photons, electrons, and nuclei because multi-electron atoms belong to the space of asymptotic states of the extended theory. We offer two possible ways to circumvent this problem and prove, using a fairly general model for the description of nucleon-nucleon interaction in nuclei, the gauge invariance of the masses and electromagnetic form factors of multi-electron atoms in all orders of perturbation theory.

description: This paper studies the interplay between self-crossing boundary Lefschetz fibrations and generalized complex structures. We show that these fibrations arise from the moment maps in semi-toric geometry and use them to construct self-crossing stable generalized complex four-manifolds using Gompf--Thurston methods for Lie algebroids. These results bring forth further structure on several previously known examples of generalized complex manifolds. We moreover show that these fibrations are compatible with taking connected sums, and use this to prove a singularity trade result between two types of singularities occurring in these fibrations.

description: This document contains all the information and concepts necessary to define an observation strategy for STC, the stereocamera channel of SIMBIOSYS, and plan its observations. It first describes the constraints derived from the orbit of Mercury, the planning of BepiColombo mission, and the design of STC detector; then the possibilities offered by the software commanding the instrument are presented. Building on these constraints and possibilities, an observation strategy based on a “segmented orbit” concept is presented and illustrated with some practical examples.

description: We perform numerical simulations to study the secular orbital evolution and dynamical structure in the quintuplet planetary system 55 Cancri with the self-consistent orbital solutions by Fischer and coworkers (2008). In the simulations, we show that this system can be stable at least for $10^{8}$ yr. In addition, we extensively investigate the planetary configuration of four outer companions with one terrestrial planet in the wide region of 0.790 AU $\leq a \leq $ 5.900 AU to examine the existence of potential asteroid structure and Habitable Zones (HZs). We show that there are unstable regions for the orbits about 4:1, 3:1 and 5:2 mean motion resonances (MMRs) with the outermost planet in the system, and several stable orbits can remain at 3:2 and 1:1 MMRs, which is resemblance to the asteroidal belt in solar system. In a dynamical point, the proper candidate HZs for the existence of more potential terrestrial planets reside in the wide area between 1.0 AU and 2.3 AU for relatively low eccentricities.

title: An Assessment of Faculty Understanding and Attitudes Toward General Education at Utah State University
Creators: name: Gittins, Scott H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The data used for the following thesis were collected from tape-recorded interviews of a sample of U.S.U. faculty, and from a course evaluation list which each of these participating faculty members were asked to fill out. Thirty-six faculty members were selected for the in-depth interviews, which was slightly more than five percent of the faculty. The study was done in conjunction with the Provost's General Education Evaluation Committee, as part of a larger evaluation of general education at U.S.U. Thirty-four of the U.S.U. professors were interviewed and 28 of these completed the course evaluation lists.
This thesis evaluates faculty conceptualizations of general education at three levels: the philosophic, the objective-oriented and the curricular. It also examines faculty interest in and satisfaction with the current U.S.U. program.
It was found that at the philosophic level of definition, there was almost complete consensus. Faculty members thought that general education should be a broadening experience, giving the student a general, well-rounded view of the world.
At the objective-oriented level, the respondents displayed considerable agreement as to the academic skills and areas in which students should show proficiency. The agreement was more complete, however, when the instructors were first presented with lists of these skills and areas, rather than asking them to identify them themselves. This seemed to indicate that the faculty members had not given a great deal of thought to general education objectives.
At the curricular level, two different general education philosophies were shown to exist. Broad fundamentalists felt that general education should be a basic sampling of all of the major areas of knowledge, while diverse specialization advocates reasoned that general education should involve proficiency in various specialized areas outside of the major. Thus, while broad fundamentalists recognized only lower-level courses with basic-sounding titles as fit for general education, diverse specialization advocates felt that almost any course had merit for general education, as long as it was outside of a student's major area. A residual group of respondents, labeled as independents, showed less tendency toward either mode of thought than those in the other two groups.
Faculty response overall displayed a preference for lower level classes for general education curriculum. As class level went up the ratings given the courses went down.
It was found that the faculty as a whole was not greatly interested in or even acquainted with general education at Utah State University. Faculty members become acquainted with the program mainly because of their advisory responsibilities. Faculty satisfaction with the program seemed noncommital, the disinterest in the program led many to be only mildly satisfied or mildly dissatisfied, or to have no opinion.

description: The training of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) is costly, thus DNN can be considered as the intellectual properties (IP) of model owners. To date, most of the existing protection works focus on verifying the ownership after the DNN model is stolen, which cannot resist piracy in advance. To this end, we propose an active DNN IP protection method based on adversarial examples against DNN piracy, named ActiveGuard. ActiveGuard aims to achieve authorization control and users' fingerprints management through adversarial examples, and can provide ownership verification. Specifically, ActiveGuard exploits the elaborate adversarial examples as users' fingerprints to distinguish authorized users from unauthorized users. Legitimate users can enter fingerprints into DNN for identity authentication and authorized usage, while unauthorized users will obtain poor model performance due to an additional control layer. In addition, ActiveGuard enables the model owner to embed a watermark into the weights of DNN. When the DNN is illegally pirated, the model owner can extract the embedded watermark and perform ownership verification. Experimental results show that, for authorized users, the test accuracy of LeNet-5 and Wide Residual Network (WRN) models are 99.15% and 91.46%, respectively, while for unauthorized users, the test accuracy of the two DNNs are only 8.92% (LeNet-5) and 10% (WRN), respectively. Besides, each authorized user can pass the fingerprint authentication with a high success rate (up to 100%). For ownership verification, the embedded watermark can be successfully extracted, while the normal performance of the DNN model will not be affected. Further, ActiveGuard is demonstrated to be robust against fingerprint forgery attack, model fine-tuning attack and pruning attack.
title: Nutrition Education Needs Assessment for Licensed Group Day Care Centers in the State of Utah
Creators: name: Barksdale, Almina
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: In November 1977 Congress established the Nutrition Education and Training Program (NETP) with the passage of Public Law 95-166. Section 227.37 of the NETP Regulations (1978) mandates that each state establish a plan of action for the use of any federally appropriated funds earmarked for "nutrition education", and further, the plan should contain a proposal to instruct all students in the state about the nutritional value of foods as well as the relationship between food, nutrition, and health. Section 19 of Public Law 95- 166 stipulates a "needs assessment" as one of the components of NETP and that each state conduct such assessments.
The purpose of this study is to furnish the Utah State Office of Education Nutrition Specialist information about the "Licensed Group Day Care Centers" regarding:
l. the nutrition concepts taught;
2. the methods and strategies used;
3. the educational level of day care personnel;
4. the State Office of Education Nutrition Specialist's role in day care;
5. the day care center's cooperation for nutrition inservicing of the faculty; and,
6. the day care center's cooperation with secondary/university training programs.
A review of literature indicates that little has been done to evaluate day care programs with regard to "nutrition education". Before the establishment of Public Law 95- 166 Federal and State licensing, guidelines were vague and did not stipulate "education" in their nutrition regulations.
Results of a mail survey show that 89.1% of the responding centers teach some nutritional concepts. Cooking and tasting experiences, along with pictures and stories, were the main activities used by the centers. The most requested teaching aides we r e puppet and flannel board stories, songs, pictures, and food recipes. This survey shows the majority of the teachers are college educated and have some nutritional training.
title: Role Analysis of School Superintendents in Utah
Creators: name: Francom, Derwin Don
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purpose of the study was to determine how superintendents in the state of Utah perceived their role as superintendent. It focused on: (1) how superintendents perceived their role as superintendents, (2) what demands were affecting their role, (3) if superintendents in different-size school districts perceived their role differently, (4) how the superintendent-board relationship was viewed by the superintendents, and (5) what the superintendents considered to be the greatest problems facing them in Utah today.
A survey research design was used to collect the data from all 40 superintendents. For the purposes of analysis, the districts they represented were divided into three categories based on district size.
Two instruments were used to collect the data. They were: (1) the Superintendent Behavior Questionnaire developed by Raymond Fast (1968), and (2) a personal data sheet and interview guide. In addition, three questions were used to find out how superintendents spent their time.
The information obtained from the questionnaire and personal data sheet were analyzed in two ways. First, a one-way analysis was done between the independent variable (school district size) and the subscores on the nine dimensions of the Superintendent Behavior Questionnaire. No significant differences were found. Second, an item-by-item analysis was done between the demographic data and the 37 items of the questionnaire using Chi-square crosstabulations. Only 21 of the 407 crosstabulations were significant at α=.05 and above.
It was found that: (1) superintendents had a positive perception of their role as superintendent and a positive relationship with the local boards of education; (2) there was no difference in how superintendents in different-size school districts perceived their role; (3) the highest-ranking demands from federal and state agencies and local constituencies were paperwork, resolving problems of parents-students-staff in terms of patron input and teacher militancy, and handling increasing costs and inflation.
The Three highest-ranking problems superintendents stated they were facing were: (1) financial demands in terms of providing more services on a limited tax base, dealing with inflation, and increasing energy costs; (2) time and resources to provide quality education for a growing school population, and teacher problems in terms of teacher militancy, loss of good teachers to other occupations, and the removal of mediocre teachers; and (3) the expectations of special interest groups.
title: Competencies Needed for Careers in Ornamental Horticulture in Utah
Creators: name: Bahen, Dennis George
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purpose of the study was to present descriptive data bout the industry, determine the importance of the competencies needed for job entry, and assess the manpower needs of the ornamental horticulture industry in Utah.
The identified population of 576 ornamental horticulture enterprises was categorized into seven areas of specialization: Arborists (4.5%), Maintenance of Landscapes (10.8%), Landscape Construction (18.6%), Golf Courses (13.5%), Greenhouse Production (5.4%), Florist-Plant Shops (30.9%) and Garden Center-Nurseries (16.3%).
The data were collected by a survey-questionnaire. One hundred and sixteen ornamental horticulture enterprises responded to the survey. This amounted to 38% of the industry sampled and 20% of the population.
Findings of the study indicated that single enterprises conduct work in a number of the areas of specialization.
Ninety-two of the ninety-four competencies were rated at least of some importance to entry level workers. The most important competencies common to all the areas of specialization were: Human relations and communications, pest identification and control, record keeping, and safety.
Other highly rated individual competencies in the major areas of specialization included: 1) Arborists--mix and handle chemicals safely, turf establishment and maintenance, removal of trees and shrubs, and pruning techniques; 2) Maintenance of Landscapes--mix and handle chemicals safely, apply fertilizer materials, operate and maintain spray equipment, maintain turf and operate and service automatic systems; 3) Landscape Construction--plant and transplant, turf establishment and maintenance and sell products and services; 4) Golf Courses-apply fertilizer materials, maintain golf greens and turf and apply knowledge of irrigation and watering methods; 5) Greenhouse Production-apply knowledge of irrigation and water ing methods; sell products and services, and operate a cash register and handle money; 6) Florist-Plant Shops--design and construct floral pieces, dish gardens, and terrariums, operate a cash register and handle money and design displays; 7) Garden Center Nurseries--operate a cash register and handle money, sell products and services, and select plant materials according to growth habits and uses.
The number of employees anticipated in the future is growing at a 16% yearly rate. The greatest anticipated yearly expansion of full time employees in the areas of Landscape Construction (63%), Arboriculture (35%) and Greenhouse Production (32%). Members of owners' families comprise 17% of the industry's employees.
The study also indicated a preference for workers presenting specific job competencies at job entry.

Creators: name: Clark, Carl Hugh
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the Utah maternal questionnaire and birth certificate as they relate to the identification of hearing impairment in infants. Comparative data relating to rate of return, number of high risk infants, number of at risk infants, number of hearing impaired infants, false positive rates, and item analysis were obtained for both screening instruments. Tabulation of the results showed the birth certificate to be a better neonatal screening device of hearing impairment than the maternal questionnaire. The birth certificate maintained a low false positive rate and a high rate of identification of hearing impairment in infants.

We first apply SuperTAD(2) and deDoc on KR (normalized) Hi-C matrix of two human cell lines (GM12878 and IMR90) at 25-kb bin resolution. The boxplots show the statistics on a length, b structural entropy, and c contact density of inferred TADs for both methods. The box shows the value distribution of each method for each cell line (blue boxes represent SuperTAD(2) while orange boxes represent deDoc). The marked numbers and dashed lines in red both indicate the mean value for each box. The contact density is defined as the number of intra-TAD contacts divided by TAD length. d The structure entropy of the coding tree detected by SuperTAD(2) and deDoc for both cell lines at 25-kb and 50-kb resolutions. e The fold change of structural proteins peak number (CTCF, RAD21, SMC3) between peaks (regions around boundaries) and background (regions located 400 kb away from the boundaries). The higher value indicates more enrichment of structural proteins around boundaries. f The cummulative bar diagram shows the fraction of TADs from three groups: enriched for H3K27me3 (FDR-corrected p value ≤0.1, the blue bar); enriched for H3K36me3 (FDR-corrected p value ≤0.1, the orange bar); no significant enrichment (FDR-corrected p value >0.1, the green bar). g, h The heatmap and inferred boundaries with various inputs for GM12878 and IMR90 cell lines. Each heatmap exhibits different results with two inputs. Text in the upper/lower triangle indicates the input matrix’s information, and the plotted boundaries on the same side present the corresponding result. The similarity between boundaries in different colors shows the robustness of performance between 25-kb and 50-kb bin resolution (or raw and KR) matrix for each method. Note that the heatmap is asymmetric when comparing two results from raw and KR matrices.

description: The density matrix formalism is a fundamental tool in studying various problems in quantum information processing. In the space of density matrices, the most well-known measures are the Hilbert-Schmidt and Bures-Hall ensembles. In this work, the averages of quantum purity and von Neumann entropy for an ensemble that interpolates between these two major ensembles are explicitly calculated for finite-dimensional systems. The proposed interpolating ensemble is a specialization of the $θ$-deformed Cauchy-Laguerre two-matrix model and new results for this latter ensemble are given in full generality, including the recurrence relations satisfied by their associated bi-orthogonal polynomials when $θ$ assumes positive integer values.

description: We theoretically examine the spin-transfer torque in the presence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) at impurities in a ferromagnetic metal on the basis of linear response theory. We obtained, in addition to the usual spin-transfer torque, a new contributioin $\sim {\bm j}_{\rm SH}^{\phantom{\dagger}} \cdot \nabla {\bm n}$ in the first order in SOI, where ${\bm j}_{\rm SH}^{\phantom{\dagger}}$ is the spin Hall current driven by an external electric field. This is a reaction to inverse spin Hall effect driven by spin motive force in a ferromagnet.

description: We propose realistic methods to detect local spin polarization, which utilize a quantum dot side coupled to the target system. By choosing appropriate states in the dot, we can put spin selectivity to the dot and detect spins in the target with small disturbance. We also present an experiment which realizes one of the proposed spin detection schemes in magnetic fields.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purpose of this study was to collect, describe, and interpret source materials pertaining to the history of the three area vocational centers and the three area vocational schools in Utah. The historical method of research was used, and the collection of data was from personal interviews, research of records, and publications of the six vocational institutions, the Utah State Board of Education, and the local school districts.
The three area centers and the three area schools began as an outgrowth of the 1963 Vocational Education Act and the 1968 Vocational Amendments. These vocational institutions were established to meet the needs of local students and to meet the economical needs of the local school districts. Today, the three area centers and the three area schools are providing much needed services to the State of Utah.
The structural dynamics of a tidal flat mollusc community
Creators: name: Woodward, IO
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: A transect survey of the tidal flat mollusc community in the coastal Pipe Clay Lagoon, south-eastern Tasmania, was conducted over four seasons. The survey was conducted along a 700m transect running down the tidal gradient from EHWS to MLW. In each season a 'distribution' transect was conducted with single quadrat (0.25 m x 0.25 m) samples being taken down to the anoxic layer every 20 m. At the same time a 'dispersion' transect was taken; every 100m a grid (0.5 m x 0.5 m) consisting 8 x 8 cells was sampled down to the anoxic layer. A number of physical variables were also measured.

description: We describe a new algorithm for the "perfect" extraction of one-dimensional spectra from two-dimensional (2D) digital images of optical fiber spectrographs, based on accurate 2D forward modeling of the raw pixel data. The algorithm is correct for arbitrarily complicated 2D point-spread functions (PSFs), as compared to the traditional optimal extraction algorithm, which is only correct for a limited class of separable PSFs. The algorithm results in statistically independent extracted samples in the 1D spectrum, and preserves the full native resolution of the 2D spectrograph without degradation. Both the statistical errors and the 1D resolution of the extracted spectrum are accurately determined, allowing a correct chi-squared comparison of any model spectrum with the data. Using a model PSF similar to that found in the red channel of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectrograph, we compare the performance of our algorithm to that of cross-section based optimal extraction, and also demonstrate that our method allows coaddition and foreground estimation to be carried out as an integral part of the extraction step. This work demonstrates the feasibility of current- and next-generation multi-fiber spectrographs for faint galaxy surveys even in the presence of strong night-sky foregrounds. We describe the handling of subtleties arising from fiber-to-fiber crosstalk, discuss some of the likely challenges in deploying our method to the analysis of a full-scale survey, and note that our algorithm could be generalized into an optimal method for the rectification and combination of astronomical imaging data.

description: Before the Solomon Islands were discovered by the outside world the free movement of people occurred within each island amongst people who had blood and land ties. Movement also took place outside such ties through marriages arranged by chiefs and elders and as a direct result of inter-tribal and inter-island wars, when young children were taken as spoils of war by chiefs. In other cases people were given away as part of compensation, to make lasting peace and build relationships between neighbouring islands, in particular to protect the donor group from head hunting activities. Those involved in such movements were treated with respect, taken into the host family and group as their own, and had equal rights with true members of the family and group. They often held the most prestigious positions and had important property rights. During this precolonial period the people now known as Solomon Islanders did not see themselves as one people, as belonging to one country.

description: Polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSEs) are very strong radar echoes caused by the presence of ice particles, turbulence, and free electrons in the mesosphere over polar regions. For more than three decades, PMSEs have been used as natural tracers of the complicated atmospheric dynamics of this region. Neutral winds and turbulence parameters have been obtained assuming PMSE horizontal homogeneity on scales of tens of kilometers. Recent radar imaging studies have shown that PMSEs are not homogeneous on these scales and instead they are composed of kilometer-scale structures. In this paper, we present a technique that allows PMSE observations with unprecedented angular resolution (∼0.6). The technique combines the concept of coherent MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and two high-resolution imaging techniques, i.e., Capon and maximum entropy (MaxEnt). The resulting resolution is evaluated by imaging specular meteor echoes. The gain in angular resolution compared to previous approaches using SIMO (Single Input Multiple Output) and Capon is at least a factor of 2; i.e., at 85 km, we obtain a horizontal resolution of ∼900 m. The advantage of the new technique is evaluated with two events of 3-D PMSE structures showing: (1) horizontal wavelengths of 8-10 km and periods of 4-7 min, drifting with the background wind, and (2) horizontal wavelengths of 12-16 km and periods of 15-20 min, not drifting with the background wind. Besides the advantages of the implemented technique, we discuss its current challenges, like the use of reduced power aperture and processing time, as well as the future opportunities for improving the understanding of the complex small-scale atmospheric dynamics behind PMSEs. © 2019 Author(s).

title: Ecological Relationships of Accipiters in Northern Utah - With Special Emphasis on the Effects of Human Disturbance
Creators: name: Hennessy, Stephen P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of habitat parameters and human disturbance on the nesting success of goshawks, Cooper's hawks, and sharp-shinned hawks in an area within the Cache National Forest of Utah and Idaho. This research should provide the wildlife manager with information of value in planning recreation areas, roads, timber cuttings, and other activities where impacts are considered.
Of the three accipiter species studied, the goshawk showed the greatest preference for isolation from man. It nested at higher elevations (X=2,065 m); farther from human disturbance (X=250 m); higher in trees (X=12m)/ farther into cover (X=55 m) [generally in a mature forest]; and in proximity to water (X=394 m) with considerable horizontal visibility form the nest (X=53 m). The average number of young fledged from goshawk nests was 1.4.
The nesting Cooper's hawk was more tolerant to human disturbance (X=147 m); nested closest to water (X=220 m); at moderate elevation (X=1,782 m); and in average of 8 m above ground. Their range over-lapped that of recreational activities and also that of sharp-shinned hawks. Cooper's hawks fledged an average of 1.6 young per nest.
The sharp-shinned hawks nested farthest from water (X=444 m); at about the same elevation as Cooper's hawks (X= 1,789 m); closer to human disturbance (X=161 m); closer to the ground (X=6 m); and in nests with short horizontal visibility (X=14 m). The sharp-shinned hawks fledged an average of 2.1 young per nest.
As a general rule, all of the accipiters studied preferred to nest on the lower part of a north-facing slope with a well-developed tree canopy. Goshawks appeared to be most sensitive to man, while the Cooper's and sharp-shinned hawks were similar in habitat requirements and had nesting sites in closer proximity to human activities.
