A methodology for the design and implementation of a functional object database using Haskell
Creators: name: Dawson, Linda Louise
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Semantic data modelling has been a traditional abstract way of representing data and relationships between data for database systems. Recently database designers and developers have been looking to object oriented modelling methods which incorporate the modelling of behaviour as well as data and their relationships. Databases can also be considered to be functional structures. All operations on databases are functional in that they return values. Transaction and update operations return a new version of the database; queries return values contained in the database; and reports return values from the database in some strictly formatted form. This thesis firstly develops an extended version of the Entity-Relationship model, called the Entity-Relationship-Object model (ERO model) that incorporates object oriented concepts including behaviour. Secondly, a methodology is defined for mapping this model directly to the functional. . programming language, Haskell, where all Entity and Relationship objects are implemented as abstract data types and all attributes and methods are implemented as functions. The modularity and polymorphism of the proposed models and their implementation allow for easy schema extension and modification. Lazy evaluation in the implementation allows for a simple form of persistent data store.

Methylation of fluorocyclophosphonitriles
Creators: name: Ranganathan, T.N
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The main part of this thesis is concerned with the study of the reactions of fluorocyclophosphonitriles, (NPF₂)₃₋₅, with methyllithium, which exhibit a new orientation pattern, and which appear to involve inductive interactions of the substituent (the CH₃ group) with a homomorphic π-system. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been the principal tool for deducing the structures of the isomers isolated by gas liquid chromatography from reactions of the fluorocyclophosphonitriles with methyl-lithium. ⁵JCH₃F and ⁴JFF have been observed for the first time in phosphonitrilic derivatives. Although the assignments of the frequencies in the infrared spectra of the methylfluoro- and methylcyclophosphonitriles are inadequate for a complete vibrational analysis, the pattern of frequencies found for trans-1,5-N₄P₄F₆Me₂, shows that it is not centro-symmetrical and neither is the derivative 1,1,5,5-N₄P₄F₄Me₄. In the crystal the latter compound has a saddle shape, and it is likely that the flexibility is caused by the interconversion of the tub to saddle forms, which can take place by bond torsional movements only, without angular deformation. The most important aspect of the work is the fresh evidence which is provided on the nature and extent of delocalisation within effect of the substituents is seen in the significant alternation of bond lengths in 1, l-N₄P₄F₆Me₂. Since the molecular framework is nearly planar, the conditions for the application of simple Huckel theory are satisfied, and the effect of a π-inductive perturbation at P has therefore been estimated through the calculation of bond-atom polarisabilities πr₅,t = [formula omitted] for a delocalised π-system based on an 8-membered ring. The close correspondence in pattern of the observed deviations in the individual bond lengths from the mean and the bond-atom polarisabilities seems very direct evidence for electronic delocalisation in phosphonitrilic molecules, and suggests that simple Huckel methods can provide a useful guide to their chemistry. The predominantly geminal substitution observed in the reaction of (NPF₂)₄ with LiMe has been well explained by an inductive effect of the methyl substituent on the π-system of the phosphonitrilic ring. The atom-atom polarisabilities for the three ring systems investigated have been calculated using simple Huckel theory, which show that, from this cause alone, a second nucleophilic substitution should take place principally at P₁, as found. Also the atom-atom polarisabilities explain the observed geminal and antipodal substitution, an orientation pattern which has not been recognised previously. This is the first case in which cyclic delocalisation has been shown to have a decisive effect on phosphonitrilic chemistry.

title: The Role of Relaxation and Systematic Desensitization in the Efficacy of Assertiveness Training
Creators: name: Carlson, Larry J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of anxiety management techniques (cue-controlled relaxation, systematic desensitization) as components of an assertiveness training program.
Volunteers from Utah State University and the surround ing community were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups and a control group which were used in a pre-post change comparison design. Treatment groups consisted of: (1) cue-controlled relaxation plus assertiveness training, (2) systematic desensitization plus assertiveness training, and (3) assertiveness training extended. The control group was a delayed treatment control. All subjects were administered pre-tests with the following instruments: two self report inventories (the College Self-Expression Scale and the Rathus Assertiveness Scale) and a Behavioral Performance Test. The Behavioral Performance Test consisted of ten separate multiple stimulus role playing situations (five pre-test and five posttest) which were videotaped and rated on four performance variables: (1) verbal content, (2) percent of eye contact, (3) assertive affect, and (4) overall assertiveness.
All treatment groups were exposed to four two-hour sessions of basic assertiveness training which consisted of shaping procedures (i.e. behavioral rehearsal, modeling, etc.). Treatment groups I and II were provided six additional hours of training in cue-controlled relaxation and systematic desensitization, respectively, while Group III was provided six additional hours of basic assertiveness instruction. Each of the treatment groups received equal amounts (14 hours) of training exposure over an eight-week period. At the conclusion of training, all subjects were posttested using the same measures used for pre-testing.
The results of the study indicated (l) that no one treatment approach can be considered superior or inferior to the other in its effectiveness in increasing assertive behavior, and (2) that all treatment groups showed significantly greater ability to increase assertiveness than was evidenced with the control group.

description: With the help of a simple two-dimensional model we simulate the tribological properties of a thin lubricant film consisting of linear (chain) molecules in the ordinary soft-lubricant regime. We find that friction generally increases with chain length, in agreement with their larger bulk viscosity. When comparing the tribological properties of molecules which stick bodily to the substrates with others carrying a single sticking termination, we find that the latter generally yield a larger friction than the former.

title: Conscious Anxiety, Conscious Repression and Ego-strength as Related to Dream Recall, Content and Vividness
Creators: name: Newbold, David
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: Subjects' reported dream recall frequency, dream content and vividness or recall were discussed and examined in relation to sex of the subject and MMPI Conscious Anxiety, Conscious Repression and Ego-strength scores.
Fifty-three Utah State University students, who volunteered to participate in a study of dreaming behavior, were administered the MMPI and asked to complete a dream log diary. The dream log required a daily recording of total number of dreams recalled, the number of vividly and vaguely recalled dreams and a rating of each dream in one of four dream content-process categories. Content-process categories included pleasurable, working, conflict and disorganized/frightening dreams. Relationships and possible interaction effects for the variables measured were tested for significance.
No significant relationship was found between Conscious Anxiety, Conscious Repression or Ego-strength and dream recall frequency, sex of the subject, percentage of vivid dreams recalled, or percent of dreams recalled in the positive (pleasurable and working dreams) versus negative (conflict and disorganized/frightening) categories.
Several significant differences were found, however, between the percentage of dreams reported in dream content-process categories for male subjects when analyzed according to higher-lower MMPI scale score categories and higher-lower dream recall level. Results of subcategory analysis tended to support an interaction between anxiety, repression and dream process consistent with the continuity and adaptive theories of dreaming. Male subjects with higher Conscious Anxiety reported a significantly greater percent of disorganized/frightening dreams. Higher anxiety tended to produce a higher percentage of working dreams as long as repression of threatening material was low enough to permit the recall of more emotion-laden dream processes. There was also a significant interaction between reported precent of pleasurable dreams, recall level and repression, which was explained as possibly indicating that pleasurable dreams may serve as an escape of integrating process for high repression male subjects.
Results of analysis for female subjects indicated that higher recall subjects reported a significantly higher percent of disorganized dreams, which is consistent with the salience theory of recall. Recalled dream processes seemed to be not as strongly tied to personality variables for female subjects.
Contentless dreams have been proposed in previous research to reflect repression by the subject. Results showed no significant difference between higher and lower repression subjects on the number of contentless dreams reported.
Subnanosecond pulse radiolysis studies
Creators: name: Wallace, Stephen Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis reports pulse radiolysis investigations on the very early physicochemical and chemical events in the radiation chemistry of polar liquids, in particular liquid water, where transient absorptions due to the hydrated electron have been observed with lifetimes as short as ∼30 picoseconds. These studies were carried out using the novel technique of Cerenkov reabsorption spectroscopy, which in conjunction with an extremely high dose-rate electron accelerator (peak dose-rate = 1.8 x 10²⁸ eV cm⁻² sec⁻¹) yields information pertaining to subnanosecond radiation chemical events from measurements made with existing nanosecond technology. A critical evaluation of all experimental aspects of this newly developed technique, as well as a partial theoretical analysis of the relationships between the physical parameters and experimental observables, have both been performed in order to establish the validity of such pulse radiolysis studies. Kinetic effects in molar concentrations of hydrated electron scavengers and relative solvated electron yields in water and the alcohols, have been interpreted to suggest that the time-scale of charge neutralization in radiation chemistry is very much shorter than previously proposed, thus necessitating a modification of the existing description of subnanosecond events as contained in the spur diffusion model for radiation chemical yields. The primary reducing species in the radiolysis of formamide, a liquid of very high dielectric constant, was postulated as a negative ion, rather than a solvated electron; this negative ion being formed directly by solvent scavenging of thermalized electrons. With the availability of new spectral data for solvated electrons from this and other work, a revival of the earlier suggested spectral correlation with iodide ion C.T.T.S. spectra has been proposed, with many of the earlier discrepancies now removed. Finally, because absorption spectra are deduced from light emission measurements in the Cerenkov reabsorption technique, an added feature of this work was the possible observation of radiation-induced molecular luminescence from liquid water; however over the spectral range 200 nm - 850 nm the limiting 100 eV yield of such luminescence was ≤10⁻³ with a lifetime ≤ 2 nanoseconds.

description: We present a new approach for simulating the atmospheric dynamics of the close-in giant planet HD209458b that allows for the decoupling of radiative and thermal energies, direct stellar heating of the interior, and the solution of the full 3D Navier Stokes equations. Simulations reveal two distinct temperature inversions (increasing temperature with decreasing pressure) at the sub-stellar point due to the combined effects of opacity and dynamical flow structure and exhibit instabilities leading to changing velocities and temperatures on the nightside for a range of viscosities. Imposed on the quasi-static background, temperature variations of up to 15% are seen near the terminators and the location of the coldest spot is seen to vary by more than 20 degrees, occasionally appearing west of the anti-solar point. Our new approach introduces four major improvements to our previous methods including simultaneously solving both the thermal energy and radiative equations in both the optical and infrared, incorporating updated opacities, including a more accurate treatment of stellar energy deposition that incorporates the opacity relevant for higher energy stellar photons, and the addition of explicit turbulent viscosity.

title: Generalization Characteristics of Form Diversity and Novel Form Production Among Preschool Children
Creators: name: Boswell, Craig B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The block building, Lego construction, pen drawing, and painting of four preschool children were analyzed in terms of the construction of form diversity and new form production. Social descriptive reinforcement, contingent on the production of any form not previously constructed within the current session and overt modeling of forms never seen produced during the study, increased form diversity scores per session and new form production (forms never seen before in the child's total prior sequence of blockbuilding sessions).
The results indicated that after training, form diversity scores generalized to topographically similar and dissimilar media of expression. New form production generalized to topographically similar and dissimilar media in the majority of the children.

description: We analyze the observed distribution of the orbital eccentricity and period of binary radio pulsars in globular clusters using computational tools to simulate binary-single star interactions. Globular clusters have different groups of pulsars arising from separate interaction scenarios. Intermediate eccentricities of cluster pulsars can be mostly accounted by fly-bys although locally lower stellar densities at pulsar positions may alter the situation. Very high eccentricities are likely to be results of exchanges and/or mergers of single stars with the binary companion of the pulsar.

title: Dissociation, Association and Running Time
Creators: name: Miller, Dana L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The objective of this research was to investigate relationship between dissociative and associative cognitive strategies for coping with the discomfort of running and running performance.
Subjects were volunteers enrolled in two Dynamic Fitness classes which were taught during Spring Quarter, 1980, at Utah State University. Class A consisted of 36 subjects (24 male, 12 female) and Class B consisted of 28 subjects (13 male, 15 female). All pretest, posttest, and treatment procedures were conducted during the class's respective regularly scheduled meeting times.
Subjects completed a 2.75 mile, timed, pretest run and were systematically assigned to one of three groups based on pretest time: 1) Control, 2) dissociation training group, and 3) association training group. Two training sessions were conducted to provide instruction in developing and using a cognitive strategy for both dissociation and association groups. Control group subjects also met with the researcher twice, but no instructions for development and use of a cognitive strategy were given. A posttest 2.75 mile, timed run was completed and subjects completed a posttest questionnaire.
Due to differences in procedures for subject recruitment and weather conditions for the posttest run, data from Class A and B were analyzed separately.
Analysis of covariance revealed no statistically significant relationship between teaching of a cognitive strategy and running time for either class.
Posttest questionnaire information was also analyzed. For both classes, statistically significant negative correlations were found between difference for pretest/posttest timed runs and dissociation points as reported on the posttest questionnaire. Also t-tests of independent means showed that association group subjects reported significantly higher levels of association than control group subject for both classes.
It was suggested that although training may have increased the reported use of a cognitive strategy it was not an important factor in running performance. The researcher suggested, instead, that willingness to exert oneself may have been the primary factor in determining performance in relationship to physical limitations.
title: The Impact of Television on Mother-Child Interaction and Play
Creators: name: Essa, Eva L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Television is a pervasive influence in today's family life. The number of hours family members, particularly young children, spend watching TV must replace some other functions in the viewer's lives. Since one of the primary tasks of families with young children is the socialization of their youngsters, one might assume that TV interferes to some extent with this process. Among aspects of the socialization process are the need for the child to observe and interact frequently with role models, to obtain ample feedback on the appropriateness of his behavior, and to have many opportunities to test out what he has observed through role playing so he can incorporate and adopt relevant behaviors and values. These all take much time since socialization is a long-term, subtle process.
It was the basic premise of this research that television can be a disruptive force in the socialization process because it limits children's opportunities for interaction with parents and for play. To test this, 39 mothers and their preschool-aged children were observed under two conditions, when a television was on and when it was off. On both occasions, observers rated each dyad on interactive measures such as eye contact, physical touch, proximity, and verbalization, and on interaction with alternate activities. Attention to the television was also measured.
Analysis of the data showed that the presence of television significantly decreased eye contact, verbalization, and interaction with alternate activities. Furthermore, interactions were less extensive and Ss tended not to respond to each other's comments or questions when the TV was on. Children also tended to shift attention more frequently if they watch considerable amounts of TV at home, while children of mothers who watch little TV at home tended to be considerably more attentive to the TV in the experimental condition.
It was concluded that TV does interfere with some aspects of the socialization process by decreasing interaction and play-related activities. A question was raised, however, whether children who watch substantial amounts of TV might not attend less to the set, thus offsetting some of the negative effects related to decreased interaction with parents and toys.
Sodium consumption, health and food palatability

description: There is concern that humans consume sodium, mostly as salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) at levels that produce significant medical risks. The current review gives an appraisal of psychologically relevant research into concerns in relation to sodium intake. Determinants of food choice, including sensory preferences, familiarity and exposure, customary level of sodium in daily diet, attitudes, and personality traits (including food neophobia) are explored, and their impact on dietary sodium is also discussed. In addition, strategies for reducing salt levels are discussed, including a reduction in salt content in food products, and the use of alternative tastants to salt. The use of glutamate salts such as monosodium glutamate (MSG) and calcium diglutamate (CDG) as alternative tastants is discussed. Finally, there is a summary of the methodological issues of the research reviewed and recommendations for future research into the area of alternative tastants is provided.

description: We construct an example of a Peano continuum $X$ such that: (i) $X$ is a one-point compactification of a polyhedron; (ii) $X$ is weakly homotopy equivalent to a point (i.e. $π_n(X)$ is trivial for all $n \geq 0$); (iii) $X$ is noncontractible; and (iv) $X$ is homologically and cohomologically locally connected (i.e. $X$ is a $HLC$ and $clc$ space). We also prove that all classical homology groups (singular, Čech, and Borel-Moore), all classical cohomology groups (singular and Čech), and all finite-dimensional Hawaiian groups of $X$ are trivial.

description: Many astrophysical processes involving magnetic fields and quasi-stationary processes are well described when assuming the fluid as a perfect conductor. For these systems, the ideal-magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) description captures the dynamics effectively and a number of well-tested techniques exist for its numerical solution. Yet, there are several astrophysical processes involving magnetic fields which are highly dynamical and for which resistive effects can play an important role. The numerical modeling of such non-ideal MHD flows is significantly more challenging as the resistivity is expected to change of several orders of magnitude across the flow and the equations are then either of hyperbolic-parabolic nature or hyperbolic with stiff terms. We here present a novel approach for the solution of these relativistic resistive MHD equations exploiting the properties of implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge Kutta methods. By examining a number of tests we illustrate the accuracy of our approach under a variety of conditions and highlight its robustness when compared with alternative methods, such as the Strang-splitting. Most importantly, we show that our approach allows one to treat, within a unified framework, both those regions of the flow which are fluid-pressure dominated (such as in the interior of compact objects) and those which are instead magnetic-pressure dominated (such as in their magnetospheres)

description: We present the first measurement of the relationship between the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect signal and the mass of galaxy clusters that uses gravitational lensing to measure cluster mass, based on 14 X-ray luminous clusters at z~0.2 from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey. We measure the integrated Compton y-parameter, Y, and total projected mass of the clusters (M_GL) within a projected clustercentric radius of 350 kpc, corresponding to mean overdensities of 4000-8000 relative to the critical density. We find self-similar scaling between M_GL and Y, with a scatter in mass at fixed Y of 32%. This scatter exceeds that predicted from numerical cluster simulations, however, it is smaller than comparable measurements of the scatter in mass at fixed T_X. We also find no evidence of segregation in Y between disturbed and undisturbed clusters, as had been seen with T_X on the same physical scales. We compare our scaling relation to the Bonamente et al. relation based on mass measurements that assume hydrostatic equilibrium, finding no evidence for a hydrostatic mass bias in cluster cores (M_GL = 0.98+/-0.13 M_HSE), consistent with both predictions from numerical simulations and lensing/X-ray-based measurements of mass-observable scaling relations at larger radii. Overall our results suggest that the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect may be less sensitive than X-ray observations to the details of cluster physics in cluster cores.

title: Assertion Training Groups: Therapist-Directed and Self-Directed Goal Orientation Methods
Creators: name: Jarvis, Lawrence George
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The present study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of two methods of goal specification in Assertion Training groups as assessed by two self-report measures, the Goal Attainment Scaling process and the Assertion Inventory. An Assertion Training group method having specific behavioral steps for approaching individualized goals was represented as the Therapist-Directed Assertion Training group. The second Assertion Training group was a Self-Directed group that allowed subjects to independently set and approach their own goals without the assistance of therapists in setting goals. Subjects were selected from among individuals who volunteered for the Assertion Training group in response to solicitation in general psychology classes, newspaper articles and circulars. Of the 76 subjects who filled out registration materials, 63 remained in the study, with 21 each assigned to the two treatment groups, and to a Waiting List Control group. While the Waiting List Control group participated in pre- and post-screening only, the Treatment groups underwent four weeks of group assertion training. The Self-Directed group was essentially encouraged to seek personally relevant goals, whereas the Therapist-Directed group members, with the help of a therapist, set up long- and short-range goals, which were monitored weekly by use of the Behavior Monitoring Progress Record. The level of assertion as assessed by the dependent measures appeared to be significantly enhanced by providing the Therapist-Directed group treatment or to a lesser extent by using the Self-Directed group method. The rationale for the study as well as the analysis of differences between groups are presented. Implications of the limitations and results of the present study are related to recommendations for future studies.

Studies on mycophenolic acid and lignan chemistry
Creators: name: Knittel, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Previous work on the biosynthesis of mycophenolic acid is discussed. [1’-¹⁴C]-Orsellinic acid (22) and [1'-¹⁴C]-2,4-dihydroxy-5,6-dimethylbenzoic acid (23) were synthesized and administered to Penicillium brevi-compactum. The purpose of feeding these two acids was to determine the order or sequence of the reactions involved in the biosynthesis of mycophenolic acid. It was found that acid (22) was not incorporated into mycophenolic acid but that acid (23) was incorporated specifically to the extent of 11.5%. Degradation of the mycophenolic acid from the feeding of (23) showed that a completely specific incorporation had occurred and thus supported the role of this acid (23) as a precursor of mycophenolic acid. [1- ¹⁴C]-geraniol (24) was also fed in an attempt to determine the origin of the C₇ side chain of mycophenolic acid. (24) was incorporated but degradation of the mycophenolic acid showed that the geraniol was decomposed to acetate before incorporation, leaving the precursor status in doubt. Three attempts were made to synthesize mycophenolic acid using suspected biological intermediates with no success. This was presumably due to the difficulty encountered in trying to alkylate the aromatic skeleton of mycophenolic acid. A synthesis of lignans involving intramolecular phenolic oxidative coupling was attempted with little success, due to the inability to obtain the ester required to couple to give the lignan skeleton.
The language of food and eating within a context of three dimensional still life
Creators: name: Greenshields, BR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: My research project sets out to investigate the assumption that eating is the most fundamental of acts, and that food is our most basic requirement. That the simple truth of these two facts suggests the connection of every living thing on the planet, each to the other; and through this network my connection to every other person in the world. The place of food at the centre of life explains why it conveys a host of meanings. Messages are implied in the presentation of food be it a single slice of carrot or a partially devoured meal, meaning is layered upon meaning. The use of food to make art has by association this same potential. While our consciousness separates us from the physical world, every day of our lives food connects us to the cycles of life and matter and is an ever present reminder of our utter dependence on all else. Working from the premise that the biological experience of food consumption is universal, this research project became an exploration of the language of food, at least in some of its many dialects. This project is an exploration of form and meaning when using food as a primary medium and as a subject of an art practice. This body of work engages a medium-specific discourse. It investigates the nature of my relationship to the material 'food'. For the purposes of this project food plays a dual role. Normally we get physical sustenance from food, while art materials feed our need to express ourselves. My utilisation covers both contexts, with both being easily interchangeable. The specific areas covered are: - cultural meanings of a meal - the processes of growth and decay -bodily knowledge - staining - chewing - metaphor, the use of food to speak of other things - still life and the representation of food - a visual language of objects as emblems, that stand in for the human condition. Initially the project was an investigation of the stuff of food, with my own cultural experience of it as the subject matter. As I worked with food as a medium for making art, its wider possibilities both materially and conceptually slowly became more evident. As the project matured the work developed into a closer look at the connection of food and the body. I started to produce works that imitated the functions of bodies. Finally the project attempted using food and eating to identify some of the knowledge of life we have gained through our bodies. These outcomes of the research project are demonstrated in the art works.
