title: Effects of Knowledge of Accountability in Mastery Learning Programs on Academic Achievement, Goal Setting Characteristics, and Locus-of-Control Orientation
Creators: name: Ritchie, Donn C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: During the past quarter century, over 1000 articles have documented changes in student behaviors related to participation in mastery learning programs. Although the results have been generally positive, a debate continues as to the cause for increased student performance: Are results due to changes in how students attend to the information, or simply due to increased study time as a result of remediation?
In this study, a videodisc-based program in fractions was used with fifth-grade students. The videodisc-based instruction was chosen to help minimize differences in instructional materials, instructional time, and instructional delivery. A pretest-posttest, control-group design was used to compare academic achievement, locus of control, and goal setting scores of two groups (N=154). Both groups received instruction in fractions via the teacher-directed, videodisc-based Mastering Fractions program. Treatment 1 students (N=80) were knowledgeable that they were participating in a mastery-learning program and would be held accountable for their progress and remediation. Treatment 2 students (N=74) were not aware that their teacher was using mastery learning principles to determine progression and remediation. A control group (N=32) received their normal grade five mathematics program.
Comparisons between Treatment 1 and Treatment 2 student scores, after adjustments for pretest results using analysis of covariance, revealed standardized mean difference effect sizes of +0.03 for achievement, +0.32 for locus-of-control, and +0.46 for goal setting mean scores favoring Treatment 1. A discrepancy in implementation of the videodisc program in two classes may have skewed results. When data from these two classes were omitted, the analyses showed adjusted standardized mean difference effect sizes of +0.63 for achievement, +0.75 for locus-of-control, and +0.55 for goal setting mean scores favoring Treatment 1.
A two-way analysis of covariance with treatment groups and achievement levels was also conducted. Subsequent standardized mean difference effect sizes using adjusted mean scores were greatest for students from the lowest achievement level (+0.64 for internal locus-of-control and +0.55 for goal setting mean scores). When data from the two discrepant classes were omitted, the adjusted standardized mean difference effect sizes were found to be + 1.24 for internal locus-of-control and + 1.06 for goal setting mean scores favoring students from the lowest achievement level.
Implications of these results for mastery learning programs in public schools are discussed.
title: Distribution and Ecology of the Desert Bighorn Sheep in Southeastern Utah
Creators: name: Wilson, Lanny O.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: In May 1965, the first investigation and research in the native desert bighorn sheep in Utah was undertaken. The study was centered in the White Canyon area, San Juan County, in southeastern Utah. Seven other areas along the Colorado River were found to have smaller reminant populations of desert bighorns.
The White Canyon population was determined to be between 124 and 144 desert bighorns (Ovis canadensis nelsoni), excluding lambs.
The desert bighorns in southeastern Utah return from surrounding range lands each year to the same areas, known as lambing grounds, to give birth to their lambs. Ewes under one year of age were not known to breed. Rams over one year of age, although believed physiologically capable of breeding, were not observed doing so.
The longevity of the bighorns was estimated at approximately 13 years. A relatively static population probably exists with a 50-5- ram-ewe ratio in the White Canyon area.
Pneumonia, predators and lack of free water were believed to be responsible for the high lamb mortality found in the desert bighorn population. The lack of some nutrient in the diet is thought to be the reason for the high lamb susceptibility to pneumonia. Predators and the lack of the free water were believed to be major factors in lamb survival.
The lack of available free water was found to be the greatest limiting factor to the bighorn population. Competition for forage and water by cattle and deer was found to be a major factor limiting bighorn populations. Internal parasites were found in numbers great enough to be detrimental to the sheep.
All plant communities occupied by the sheep were found to be climax communities. On the south side of White Canyon the vegetation was in excellent condition and was in poor condition on the north side. Bighorns graze slightly more than they browse.
Recommendations for the management of the desert bighorn sheep in southeastern Utah include continued studies, water developments, hunting rams over seven years of age, predator control and livestock reductions.

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of evaporative cooling at two different frequen-cies per day on the respiration rate (rr) of lactating dairy cows, considering cow-related factors. twenty multiparous israeli holstein dairy cows housed in a naturally ventilated cowshed were di-vided randomly into two treatment groups. the cows of both groups were exposed to 3 or 8 cooling sessions per day (3xcool vs. 8xcool, respectively). the rr was observed hourly, with a maximum of 12 measurements per day. Body posture (standing vs. lying) was simultaneously documented. milk yield was recorded daily. coat color was determined from a digital photograph. the rr of standing and lying cows was lower in the 8xcool group (60.2 and 51.6 breaths per min (bpm), re-spectively) than in the 3xcool group (73.1 and 65.6 bpm, respectively). For each increment of five kilograms of milk produced, rr increased by one bpm, and the rr of cows in early days in milk (dim) was 12.3 bpm higher than that of cows in late dim. in conclusion, eight cooling sessions per day instead of three lead to a rr abatement in heat-stressed cows under hot conditions, and cow-related factors directly impact the rr during heat stress assessment
title: Reducing Soil Crusting to Enhance Sesame Seedling Emergence
Creators: name: Campero, Gustavo
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: In Venezuela rainfall-induced crust is the main problem in obtaining adequate stands of sesame (Sesamwn indicum L.) The effectiveness of seven commercially available soil conditioners to prevent soil crusting and their influence on sesame seedling emergence was tested on Parlo silt loam. The chemicals were sprayed on the soil surface at different rates and dilutions . The rates were established to give about the same treatment cost.
Two chemicals: a polyvinyl alcohol (Elvanol 71-30) and an anionic asphalt emulsion (Humofina B-2864) gave the greatest increase in sesame seedling emergence. Thereafter, the two chemicals were tested on two Utah soils (Parlo silt loam and Nibley silty clay loam) and four Venezuelan soils. Three of the Venezuelan soils (Turen silt loam, Nontilled Turen silt loam, and Agua Blanca silty clay loam) were sampled in areas actually being used for sesame production, but with problems of soil crusting. The fourth Venezuelan soil (Guanipa sand) was collected in an area where sesame has recently been introduced.

description: Regular black holes, as an important attempt to eliminate the singularities in general relativity, have been widely concerned. Due to the fact that the superradiance associated with rotating regular black holes plays an indispensable role in black hole physics, we calculate the superradiance related effects, i.e., the superradiance instability and the energy extraction efficiency for a scalar particle with a small mass around a rotating regular black hole, where the rotating regular black hole is constructed by the modified Newman-Janis algorithm. We analytically give the eigenfrequency associated with instability and the amplification factor associated with energy extraction. For two specific models, the rotating Hayward and Bardeen black holes, we investigate how their regularization parameters affect the growth of instability and the efficiency of energy extraction from the two rotating regular black holes. We find that the regularization parameters give rise to different modes on the superradiance instability and the energy extraction when the rotation parameters are varying. There are two modes for the growth of superradiance instability, and four modes for the energy extraction. Our results show the diversity of superradiance in the competition between the regularization parameter and the rotation parameter for rotating regular black holes.

description: Let $G$ be the Cartesian product of a regular tree $T$ and a finite connected transitive graph $H$. It is shown in arXiv:2006.06387 that the Free Uniform Spanning Forest ($\mathsf{FSF}$) of this graph may not be connected, but the dependence of this connectedness on $H$ remains somewhat mysterious. We study the case when a positive weight $w$ is put on the edges of the $H$-copies in $G$, and conjecture that the connectedness of the $\mathsf{FSF}$ exhibits a phase transition. For large enough $w$ we show that the $\mathsf{FSF}$ is connected, while for a large family of $H$ and $T$, the $\mathsf{FSF}$ is disconnected when $w$ is small (relying on arXiv:2006.06387). Finally, we prove that when $H$ is the graph of one edge, then for any $w$, the $\mathsf{FSF}$ is a single tree, and we give an explicit formula for the distribution of the distance between two points within the tree.

The development and function of the image in the poetry of T.S. Eliot, 1909-1922
Creators: name: Preston, John Frederick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: One of the most unique and striking features of T. S. Eliot's poetry up to and including The Waste Land is its imagery. Far from being mere decoration, the images in these poems play a vital role in the process of poetic communication. This paper attempts to examine in some detail Eliot's image, the important influences which contributed to its development, and its function in these poems. The poems of Prufrock and Other Observations show that Eliot had perfected his own "imagism" before coming into contact with Imagist theories through Ezra Pound in 1914, These poems reveal Eliot's characteristic method of using images—which are mainly precise renderings of an urban scene—as "objective correlatives" for a wide range of thoughts and feelings, in order to dramatize the plight of the poem's speaker. It was through a close study of such figures as Charles Baudelaire, Jules Laforgue, the Jacobean dramatists, the Metaphysical poets and the philosopher Henri Bergson, that Eliot discovered his own poetic voice. Although he knew little before 1914 of the Imagists— notably T. E. Hulme, who was to influence him much later— Eliot's "imagism" shows certain similarities, in theory and practice, with the work of this important poet and theoretician. These similarities are examined in this paper to help define Eliot's own "imagism". After 1914, Ezra Pound played an important part in the development of Eliot's imagery. In general, Pound showed Eliot methods for extending to the limit the impersonality which was already a feature of Eliot's poetry. This led, through a mutual interest in the poems of Théophile Gautier, to Eliot's satirical poems in the Poems 1920 volume. These poems juxtapose concepts in the form of concrete images, many of which are drawn from a wide variety of literary sources. But Eliot was restricted by Gautier's rhyming quatrain: in the satires, dramatic intensity is sacrificed for excessive superficiality and undue complexity. "Gerontion," however, marks a return to the energy of the Prufrock poems by using images to present an awareness of individual and cultural neurosis. Finally, The Waste Land marks a climax in Eliot's development by fusing and harmonizing methods previously acquired, and achieves unity through a complex pattern of images, many of which grow out of the preceding poems. At their best, these images are not only precise sensual experiences but powerful expressions of feelings and thoughts. As such, they give ample proof that the image in Eliot's poetry is the primary means of poetic expression.

description: We exhibit the analog of the entropy map for multivariate Gaussian distributions on local fields. As in the real case, the image of this map lies in the supermodular cone and it determines the distribution of the valuation vector. In general, this map can be defined for non-archimedian valued fields whose valuation group is an additive subgroup of the real line, and it remains supermodular. We also explicitly compute the image of this map in dimension 3.

description: The environment contributes to the screening of Coulomb interactions in two-dimensional semiconductors. This can potentially be exploited to tailor material properties as well as for sensing applications. Here, we investigate the tuning of the band gap and the exciton binding energy in the two-dimensional semiconductor WS$_2$ via the external dielectric screening. Embedding WS$_2$ in van der Waals heterostructures with graphene and hBN spacers of thicknesses between one and 16 atomic layers, we experimentally determine both energies as a function of the \WS-to-graphene interlayer distance. We find that the modification to the band gap as well as the exciton binding energy are well described by a one-over-distance dependence, with a significant effect remaining at several nm distance, at which the two layers are electrically well isolated. This observation is explained by a screening arising from an image charge induced by the graphene layer. Furthermore, we find that the effectiveness of graphene to screen Coulomb interactions in nearby WS$_2$ depends on its doping level and can therefore be controlled via the electric field effect. We determine that, at room temperature, it is modified by approximately 20\% for charge carrier densities of $2\times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$.
title: The Effects of Calcium on the Response of Snapbean to Sodium-Induced Stress
Creators: name: Khan, Masud Ahmad
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: Soil salinity is a major concern to agriculture in arid and semiarid regions, where evapotranspiration causes salts originating from irrigation water (or sometimes naturally from the soil) to become concentrated in the rooting zone. In some areas, with good management, it has been economically feasible to ameliorate a sodic soil with Ca. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Ca amelioration of salinity (sodicity) on biomass, number of nodules, number of pods, weight of pods, ion uptake, and photosynthesis of Phaseolus vulgaris L.
Pl ants were grown in one liter styrofoam pots under greenhouse conditions. In the first experiment, Na stress was accomplished by adding NaCl and Na2S04 at concentrations of 0, 20, 40, 60 , and 80 mmolcfl. The second and third experiments used concentrations of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 mmolc/1 NaCl or Na2S04 , combined with two levels of 15 and 30 rnrnolc/1 of either caso4 or cac12. Each styrofoam pot was irrigated with 300 ml of salt solution with a 0.25 leaching fraction on every fourth day for four weeks.
Increasing Na concentration decreased biomass, number of nodules, number of pods, and weight of pods but increased ion uptake. Addition of NaCl in the substrate increased shoot Na, Ca, and Cl content, while Na2SO4 increased shoot S content. The photosynthesis rate was affected by all levels and types of sodium salts. Calcium sulfate treatments had a greater ameliorating effect than CaCL2 on Na induced salinity in snapbeans.

description: We theoretically investigate an opportunity to implement a source of highly spin-polarized ac current on the basis of superconductor/weak ferromagnet/superconductor (SFS) voltage-biased junction in the regime of essential proximity effect and calculate the current flowing through the probe electrode tunnel coupled to the ferromagnetic interlayer region. It is shown that while the polarization of the dc current component is generally small in case of weak exchange field of the ferromagnet, there is an ac component of the current in the system. This ac current is highly spin-polarized and entirely originated from the non-equilibrium proximity effect in the interlayer. The frequency of the current is controlled by the voltage applied to SFS junction. We discuss a possibility to obtain a source of coherent ac currents with a certain phase shift between them by tunnel coupling two probe electrodes at different locations of the interlayer region.

title: Electrophoretic Patterns of Storage Proteins in Phaseolus Prone to Cotyledonal Cracking
Creators: name: Hashim, Zahra N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1984

description: Cotyledonal- or transverse-cracking (TVC) in certain cultivars of snapbeans, Phaseolus vulgaris L., seeds, clearly evident during germination, seriously places affected seedlings at a competitive disadvantage. TVC is an inherited trait and occurs across cell walls of cotyledons rather than along cell walls. Thus, it might be hypothesized that internal pressure resulting from swelling of storage proteins during imbibition might account for cellular rupture. To further elucidate this possibility, experiments were designed to compare electrophoretic patterns of storage proteins from seeds of snapbeans resistant and susceptible to TVC, and to correlate the different patterns of polyacrylamide gel el ectrophoretograrns of these proteins to TVC.
One hundred seeds were selected randomly from a bulk sample of 225 g from each of 17 seed lots representing 15 cultivars, seed coats removed and cotyledons finely ground (60 mesh). Seed flours were defatted twice with hexane (50 ml/g) at 4°C and defatted flours reground with a mortar
and pestle. Seed proteins were extracted in 0.5 M NaCl (solvent to four ratio of 10:1) at pH 7.5 for 1 h at 40°C with centrifugation at 10,000 g for 30 min. Separated proteins were subjected to electrophoresis under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions and molecular weight of different protein brands determined. Different protein banding patterns were identified and correlated to the TVC phenomenon. The data showed visual differences between banding patterns of resistant and susceptible cultivars.
While the electrophoretic technique shows observable differences in cultivars expressing differential TVC, it is not clear which protein bands are associated with the TVC phenomenon. For plant breeders to employ this tool in screening for TVC resistant snapbean cultivars, further requirements are needed.
title: Development of a Liquefaction Opportunity Map for Cache Valley, Utah

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: A liquefaction opportunity map was developed for Cache Valley, Utah. The study was the initial phase to determine the potential for liquefaction in Cache Valley.
The method used in this study to develop the liquefaction opportunity map was based on a procedure developed by Youd and Perkins (1977).
This opportunity map is proposed to be combined with a map delineating liquefaction susceptible soils to produce a liquefaction potential map. The liquefaction susceptibility map is being developed in a companion study.
The liquefaction potential map will assist in the evaluation of earthquake response in general and microzonation in particular. The liquefaction potential map may also be used by contractors, consultants, governmental organizations, etc., for preliminary planning and decision making to determine the suitability of a given site.
title: Diffuse Irradiance in the Rocky Mountains at 40° Latitude
Creators: name: LeBaron, Brock Allen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: A study of the parameters effecting diffuse irradiance in mountainous terrain was made. Ground/location parameters of site elevation, ground albedo, elevated horizon and surface tilt were examined under the pertinent atmospheric conditions of clear, polluted, overcast , and cloudy. Measured diffuse irradiance data used for comparisons were taken from fall 1977-spring 1979 at four sites located in northern Utah.
Diffuse irradiance varied with elevation according to the existing atmospheric conditions. For clear sky, diffuse irradiance decreased with elevation due t o the shorter optical pathlength, thus less scatter of the direct beam. However, with completely overcast sky, diffuse irradiance increased with elevation. The thinner cloud cover associated with higher elevations causes less adsorption of the diffuse irradiance. For partially cloudy conditions a correlation of diffuse irradiance with duration of sunshine showed curved relationships with maximum diffuse irradiance at 70 percent cloud cover. At high elevation, the curves were much steeper than at low elevation , becoming almost linear.
Climatic changes in ground albedo were found to modify diffuse irradiance considerably. This occurred mainly through multiple reflection between ground and atmosphere with maximum enhancement for snow covered ground and overcast sky. Even for clear days snow cover shifted the maximum in the annual cycle of diffuse irradiance day totals towards the spring months. A comparison of March (snow cover) and September (bare ground) diffuse irradiance values for various amounts of cloud cover showed that diffuse enhancement increased steadily with cloud amount to a maximum at overcast conditions.
The effects of elevated horizon such as might be found in a mountain valley were examined through validation of a physical model describing a V-shaped valley. Comparisons between calculated and measured diffuse irradiance showed excellent results for clear days during winter, spring, and summer.
The ratio of measured diffuse irradiance on a south facing sao tilt to that on the horizontal was plotted against duration of sunshine for different seasons. For clear days the Sao tilt enhanced diffuse irradiance values as much as two times the horizontal values during winter while during summer sao values dropped to .8 of the horizontal values. For overcast days the ratio varied from 1.0-0.3 for winter and summer, respectively.
A model predicting diffuse irradiance on a tilted surface for clear day was developed and validated using measured data. A good comparison is shown for spring and fall days using high and low elevation data.

description: Two common use grazing trials were conducted during two summer grazing seasons (1978-1979) on a typical shrubby grassland site on the Kolob Terrace, about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Cedar City, Utah, at an elevation of about 8500 feet (2600 m). Two animal units of ewes with lambs, or cows with calves, or both were stocked in each of six, one acre (0.39 ha) pastures. A five to one substitution ratio provided two single-species and one mixed (five ewes with lambs and one cow with calf) livestock treatments replicated twice. The pastures were grazed for nine days during which time two major experiments were performed.
title: An Experimental Analysis of the Alarm Calls of Captive Uinta Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus armatus)
Creators: name: Cherry, Marion Barch
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: This study investigated alarm calls given by Uinta ground squirrels (Spermophilus armatus) in the presence of a ground predator. I observed predator responses of 18 groups of three to four squirrels each for an average of three trials apiece. r~y objectives were: (1) to describe prey-predator interactions resulting in alarm calls, and (2) to test the following hypotheses:
1. Each Uinta ground squirrel (by sex and age) has an equal probability of giving an alarm call at any time of the season.
2. All Uinta ground squirrels are equally likely to call regardless of their distance to a burrow, closest conspecific, and the predator.
3. Alarm calls are as likely to occur in the search stage of predation as in the pursuit stage.
4. Callers and noncallers are equally vulnerable to predation.
I found that: ( 1) each Uinta ground squirrel (by sex and age) in the experimental population had an equal probability of giving an alarm call in the presence of a predator through the season, (2) callers and noncallers were equally close to burrows at the time of the call, (3) the caller was typically located farther away from its closest conspecific than noncallers at the time of the cal l, (4) the caller was significantly closer to the predator than were noncallers at the time of the call, (5) alarm calls occurred significantly more often in the pursuit stage of predation than in the search stage, and (6) noncallers suffered significantly more predation than did callers.
There appeared to be little risk and energetic cost associated with calling. Squirrels that called usually were being pursued by the predator and were very close to a burrow when they called. The callers had little to lose and could increase their inclusive fitness by warning relatives of the presence of danger.
This study dealt only with responses to ground predators. Squirrels are likely to respond differently to avian predators. It is suggested that responses of animals to avian and terrestrial predators should vary with the potential threat that the predator poses.
The apparent inhibition of secondary calls is discussed. Once animals are aware of the presence of danger, there is no need for another animal to repeat the message and reveal its location to the predator.

description: We report surprising morphological changes of suspension droplets (containing class II hydrophobin protein HFBI from Trichoderma reesei and water) as they evaporate with a contact line pinned on a rigid solid substrate. Both pendant and sessile droplets display the formation of an encapsulating elastic film as the bulk concentration of solute reaches a critical value during evaporation, but the morphology of the droplet varies significantly: for sessile droplets, the elastic film ultimately crumples in a nearly flattened area close to the apex while in pendant droplets, circumferential wrinkling occurs close to the contact line. These different morphologies are understood through a gravito-elasto-capillary model that predicts the droplet morphology and the onset of shape changes, as well as showing that the influence of the direction of gravity remains crucial even for very small droplets (where the effect of gravity can normally be neglected). The results pave the way to control droplet shape in several engineering and biomedical applications.

description: We study the effects of a superconducting condensate on holographic Fermi surfaces. With a suitable coupling between the fermion and the condensate, there are stable quasiparticles with a gap. We find some similarities with the phenomenology of the cuprates: in systems whose normal state is a non-Fermi liquid with no stable quasiparticles, a stable quasiparticle peak appears in the condensed phase.

title: A Comparative Study of Conventional Exercise and Weight Training of College Women At Utah State University

description: Women are now making use of weight training for improving strength, flexibility and body contours. Most studies on weight training have used male subjects. This study compared the results of a conventional exercising program and a weight training program for reducing inches in the circumferences of the right upper arm, pectorals, waist, hips, and right thigh.
The subjects were twenty-nine female students in figure control classes at Utah State University. The control group of sixteen subjects exercised in the conventional manner, and the experimental group of thirteen subjects exercised on the weight training machine. Subjects were asked not to change dietary habits nor engage in physical activity outside the exercise period. The subjects participated in six weeks of exercise meeting two days per week.
The control group showed a decrease in the circumference of the right upper arm, the pectorals, the waist, and the right thigh, whereas the experimental group showed a decrease in the circumference of the right upper arm, the pectorals, the waist, and the hips. The largest circumference lost for the experimental group was the right upper arm. A gain was shown by the experimental group in the right thigh.
Within the limits of this investigation it can be concluded that (a) circumference losses were attained by both the conventional and weight training methods; However, such losses were not sufficient to support one method over the other; (b) during regular exercising, a slight weight increase does not necessarily prevent a decrease in anthropometric measurements.

description: All pandemics are local; so learning about the impacts of pandemics on public health and related societal issues at granular levels is of great interest. COVID-19 is affecting everyone in the globe and mask wearing is one of the few precautions against it. To quantify people's perception of mask effectiveness and to prevent the spread of COVID-19 for small areas, we use Understanding America Study's (UAS) survey data on COVID-19 as our primary data source. Our data analysis shows that direct survey-weighted estimates for small areas could be highly unreliable. In this paper we develop a synthetic estimation method to estimate proportions of mask effectiveness for small areas using a logistic model that combines information from multiple data sources. We select our working model using an extensive data analysis facilitated by a new variable selection criterion for survey data and benchmarking ratios. We propose a Jackknife method to estimate variance of our proposed estimator. From our data analysis. it is evident that our proposed synthetic method outperforms direct survey-weighted estimator with respect to commonly used evaluation measures.

description: An Indian electricity system with very high shares of solar photovoltaics seems to be a plausible future given the ever-falling solar photovoltaic (PV) costs, recent Indian auction prices, and governmental support schemes. However, the variability of solar PV electricity, i.e., the seasonal, daily, and other weather-induced variations, could create an economic barrier. In this paper, we analyzed a strategy to overcome this barrier with demand-side management (DSM) by lending flexibility to the rapidly increasing electricity demand for air conditioning through either precooling or chilled water storage. With an open-source power sector model, we estimated the endogenous investments into and the hourly dispatching of these demand-side options for a broad range of potential PV shares in the Indian power system in 2040. We found that both options reduce the challenges of variability by shifting electricity demand from the evening peak to midday, thereby reducing the temporal mismatch of demand and solar PV supply profiles. This increases the economic value of solar PV, especially at shares above 40%, the level at which the economic value roughly doubles through demand flexibility. Consequently, DSM increases the competitive and cost-optimal solar PV generation share from 33-45% (without DSM) to ∼45-60% (with DSM). These insights are transferable to most countries with high solar irradiation in warm climate zones, which amounts to a major share of future electricity demand. This suggests that technologies, which give flexibility to air conditioning demand, can be an important contribution toward enabling a solar-centered global electricity supply. © 2020 by the authors.

description: Two-qubit gate performance is vital for scaling up ion-trap quantum computing. Optimized quantum control is needed to achieve reductions in gate-time and gate error-rate. We describe two-qubit gates with addressed Raman beams within a linear trapped-ion chain by a quantum master equation (QME). The QME incorporates the single-ion two-photon effective Rabi frequency, Autler-Townes and vibrational Bloch-Siegert energy shifts, off-resonant transitions, Raman and Rayleigh scattering, laser-power fluctuations, motional heating, cross-Kerr phonon coupling, laser spillover, asymmetric addressing beams and an imperfect initial motional ground state, with no fitting parameters. Whereas state-of-the-art methods are oblivious to these effects in the gate design procedure. We employ global optimization to design pulse sequences for achieving a robust rapid two-qubit gate for seven trapped $^{171}$Yb$^{+}$ ions by optimizing over numerically integrated QME solutions. Here, robust means resilient against slow drift of motional frequencies, and rapid means gate execution where the effective Rabi frequency is comparable to the detuning of the laser from the ion's bare electronic transition. Our robust quantum control delivers rapid high-quality two-qubit gates in long ion chains, enabling scalable quantum computing with trapped ions.

description: Debatten um die nationale Identität in der deutschen und französischen Presse bilden die Untersuchungsbereiche. Im Vergleich mit Frankreich wird die Bundesrepublik Deutschland des 21. Jh., was die Gründungs- und Orientierungsmythen betrifft, als eine eher „mythenfreie“ Nation angesehen. In Frankreich dagegen werden von den unterschiedlichen politischen Lagern kontinuierlich nationale Persönlichkeiten der Vergangenheit beschworen, um Zuversicht für die Zukunft und eine nationale Identität zu vermitteln. Handelt es sich bei dem identitären Unterfangen um eine Wiederkehr des nationalen Mythos?
