title: Developing A Framework To Analyze The Effect Of Mobile Technology Within A Department Of Transportation
Creators: name: Squire, Devin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Mobile technology is becoming more and more pervasive within the consumer industry. Devices such as Smartphones and Tablets are able to relay information effectively and affordably either with or without an accompanying cellular connectivity plan. The effect of this technology is slowly making its way through the corporate world. Recognizing that this technology has the potential to affect workflow practices within a Department of Transportation, this thesis first presents two mobile applications to address specific areas of concern identified within the Utah Department of Transportation maintenance division. The first application creates a living directory that provides specific information regarding employees, equipment, and location within maintenance shed locations throughout the state of Utah. The second application provides a seamless method of information transfer as it relates to traffic signs from the field directly to central servers in an effort to reduce data loss and corruption.
Group methods in a treatment home for girls : analytical study of the group work contributions of Warrendale (Newmarket, Ontario) 1957
Creators: name: Cutcher, Allen Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis is a descriptive analysis of a milieu programme, giving specific attention to its groupwork methods and contributions which is in operation at Warrendale, a residential treatment home for emotionally disturbed girls situated in Newmarket, Ontario. Against a brief history of the institution, it gives the theoretical basis of the work done with children, using the milieu concept as pioneered by Fritz Redl and Bruno Bettleheim. The institution uses caseworkers and groupworkers as residential staff, dealing directly with the children, but only the group work aspects of the programme are considered here. Three aspects of the total milieu are considered; (a) routines and rules; (b) leisure-time activities and the community; (c) discipline and problem-handling. Parts of the life of the institution are illustrated and analyzed in relation to the various therapeutic goals of the institution; (a) tension reduction; (b) individuality; (c) gaining relationships; (d) expression and release of feelings. The value of these three aspects are also considered for their diagnostic value. The contribution and use of group skills in the milieu setting are considered in the light of the therapeutic goals mentioned above. The group session is the principal technique considered, and the interpretive and goal setting values of group sessions are brought out. The significance of celebrating social festivities and the special uses of group sessions as expressive media are also exemplified as a part of group skills. The overall contributions, and possibilities of improvement, are summarized in a concluding chapter.

description: Digital technologies allow people with disabilities to participate independently in society in ways they never could before. The full realization of these new opportunities remains elusive, though, because working professionals in the information and communication technology (ICT) field rarely receive adequate training in how to make digital ICT accessible to people with disabilities. Adding accessibility to the university ICT curriculum can help create a critical mass of ICT professionals with accessibility awareness and expertise to finally realize the full accessibility potential of digital technologies. This dissertation provides a rich informational context from which ICT curriculum leaders can decide how to best infuse accessibility into their own curriculum.
Materia oscura intrappolata nel Sole?
Creators: Corrado Ruscica
Publisher: name: Media Inaf
Year: 2015

Per spiegare alcune discrepanze tra teoria della struttura solare e osservazioni, un gruppo di ricercatori ha proposto un nuovo modello  secondo il quale la materia oscura, con alcune proprietà specifiche (detta asimmetrica), si accumulerebbe nel nucleo solare influenzando il trasporto del calore all'interno dell’astro. Inoltre essa potrebbe modificare, fra l’altro, sia le proprietà "meccaniche", studiate con la cosiddetta "eliosismologia", sia il flusso di neutrini emessi.

title: Equivalent Fraction Learning Trajectories for Students with Mathematical Learning Difficulties When Using Manipulatives
Creators: name: Westenskow, Arla
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: This study identified variations in the learning trajectories of Tier II students when learning equivalent fraction concepts using physical and virtual manipulatives. The study compared three interventions: physical manipulatives, virtual manipulatives, and a combination of physical and virtual manipulatives. The research used a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach to collect and analyze data and used two types of learning trajectories to compare and synthesize the results. For this study, 43 Tier II fifthgrade students participated in 10 sessions of equivalent fraction intervention. Pre- to postdata analysis indicated significant gains for all three interventions. Cohen d effect size scores were used to compare the effect of the three types of manipulatives—at the total, cluster, and questions levels of the assessments. Daily assessment data were used to develop trajectories comparing mastery and achievement changes over the duration of the intervention. Data were also synthesized into an iceberg learning trajectory containing five clusters and three subcluster concepts of equivalent fraction understanding and variations among interventions were identified. The syntheses favored the use of physical manipulatives for instruction in two clusters, the use of virtual manipulatives for one cluster, and the use of combined manipulatives for two clusters. The qualitative analysis identified variations in students’ resolution of misconceptions and variations in their use of strategies and representations. Variations favored virtual manipulatives for the development of symbolic only representations and physical manipulatives for the development of set model representations. Results also suggested that there is a link between the simultaneous linking of the virtual manipulatives and the development of multiplicative thinking as seen in the tendency of the students using virtual manipulative intervention to have higher gains on questions asking students to develop groups of three or more equivalent fractions. These results demonstrated that the instructional affordances of physical and virtual manipulatives are specific to different equivalent fraction subconcepts and that an understanding of the variations is needed to determine when and how each manipulative should be used in the sequence of instruction.

title: Flow Characteristics of Arced Labyrinth Weirs
Creators: name: Christensen, Nathan A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The need to accommodate larger reservoir discharge events has prompted the improvement or replacement of existing spillways. One possible spillway modification is the use of an in-reservoir arced labyrinth weir in place of a linear weir. Arced labyrinth weirs can increase crest length (more cycles) and have improved hydraulic efficiency in non-channelized approach flow applications, compared to traditional labyrinth weir applications. In this study, arced labyrinth weir flow characteristics were observed for eleven different laboratory-scale model geometries at the Utah Water Research Laboratory. Rating (Cd vs. HT/P) data and observations were recorded for each configuration, and discharge efficiency was determined. Cycle efficiency, which is representative of the discharge per cycle, was also reported.

The unemployment Assistance Act (1956) : its implications for social security and public welfare administration in Canada
Creators: name: Fowler, Douglas Weatherbee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The passage of the Unemployment Assistance Act in July, 1956 represented a significant break with the traditional approach to public assistance in Canada for it brought Dominion government participation into a field always regarded as the exclusive responsibility of the provinces. This study has been undertaken to consider its implications for Social Security in Canada, including the effects of the Act on existing provincial programs. The method of study has been both historical and analytical. In order to identify the political and social factors which lead to this radical change in attitude on the part of the Dominion, Parliamentary debates have been reviewed and the proceedings of Dominion-Provincial conferences studied. In addition, such reports as that of the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations, the National Employment Commission and the various publications of the Canadian Welfare Council were useful sources of information. A study of the legislation itself was essential to analyze its effects on provincial programs and this was done in conjunction with a review of provincial legislation pertinent to the subject. A definitive evaluation of the legislation is limited by the fact that it is of such recent origin that there has been little time to study its total effect. Furthermore, an amendment to the Act which took effect on January 1, 1958 broadened the terms of the legislation to extend the degree of participation by the Dominion. Significant points which do emerge however, are; (a) Those provinces which have developed high standards in their public assistance programs are the principal beneficiaries under the legislation, (b) Those provinces which have relied heavily on Mothers' Allowances to meet the needs of a large segment of dependent persons are at a serious financial disadvantage, (c) The application of the Act is uneven among the provinces because of the wide variations in services offered. An important element in the legislation is the abolition of residence regulations between the participating provinces, a step which may bring an end to one of the most vexing problems in public welfare administration.

title: An Evaluation of an E-learning Training Course to Teach Instructors to Implement Discrete Trial Teaching
Creators: name: Pollard, Joy S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder often require early intensive behavioral interventions (EIBI) to learn new skills and decrease maladaptive behaviors. Discrete trial instruction (DTI) is a strategy behavior analysts often incorporate in EIBI programs. Researchers have demonstrated that DTI is very effective, but it requires intensive training for teachers to implement the strategy with high fidelity. Therefore, researchers have recently begun to investigate more time-efficient methods to train instructors to implement DTI. One method, e-learning, is a multi-media, computer-based training that typical includes audio narration, videos, and graphics. E-learning is a lowcost, time-efficient alternative to the traditional face-to-face training method. Very little research has been conducted thus far to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning for teaching behavioral intervention techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the use of e-learning to teach university students to implement discrete trial instruction with children with autism. Four participants completed the e-learning training package and we found that all participants’ fidelity when implementing DTI increased in role plays with an adult. All participants also were able to accurately implement DTI when teaching a child with autism and we observed generalization to untrained instructional programs. All participants were able to complete the training in an average of 2 hours and the social validity questionnaire indicated that participants felt the training was interesting and useful to help them learn how to implement DTI.

Soprattutto, siamo sicuri di utilizzare tecniche omogenee di analisi dei dati, per poter poi effettuare confronti significativi? A queste domande ha cercato di rispondere uno studio recente, pubblicato sulla rivista Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

description: The mixed diamond chain is a frustrated Heisenberg chain composed of successive diamond-shaped units with two kinds of spins of magnitudes S and S/2 (S: integer). Ratio $lambda$ of two exchange parameters controls the strength of frustration. With varying $lambda$, the Haldane state and several spin cluster states appear as the ground state. A spin cluster state is a tensor product of exact local eigenstates of cluster spins. We prove that a spin cluster state is the ground state in a finite interval of $lambda$. For S=1, we numerically determine the total phase diagram consisting of five phases.

Socio-economic factors in the rehabilitation potential of arthritic patients : a sample study of male patients in residential treatment at Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society Medical Centre, Vancouver, 1952-1955
Creators: name: MacInnis, Margaret Richmond

description: Because of the importance of medical and psychiatric information in diagnosis, there is a tendency to neglect or under-emphasize socio-economic information. This is partly an Issue of recording; but it may have vital bearing on rehabilitation, and perhaps on treatment, in the broadest sense of the term, related to prognosis and rehabilitation plans. This study undertakes an exploration of this area, for a sample group of male patients receiving residential treatment in an arthritis treatment centre (Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society, Vancouver) from 1952-1955. The socio-economic factors examined were in three groups, (a) age (b) family and marital factors (c) employment and occupational status. The material used was obtained from medical and social service records of the agency. Statistical data were taken from admission forms and social service face sheets. Social service records provided the material concerning the attitudes and adjustments of the patients. Two broad categories of treatment goal used by the agency in planning treatment, (1) employ-ability, and (2) improved self-care were followed in the present study in assessing the patients’ adjustment following treatment. Judged from these results the team estimate of the rehabilitation potential of the patients was 72% accurate in spite of the many unknowns in the handling of rheumatoid arthritis. The duration of the illness before treatment, and the length of treatment, appeared less important in relation to degree of improvement than might have been expected. Chronological age is clearly important: there was marked difference in the response of the patients under 50 years of age, compared with the response of the older patients, whether the treatment goal was "employability” or "improved self-care”. The patient's general attitude toward employment seemed more influential than the type of work he was accustomed to do. The men whose inter-personal relationships were adjudged within normal range were best able to adjust to the trauma of illness, and to make best use of the rehabilitation service. The concept of team treatment is again demonstrated by this kind of study. The Social Worker as a member of the treatment team is shown to have responsibility in three areas: (a) direct treatment of the patients (b) inter-professional planning for the patients, and (c) the use of community resources. The study leads to some recommendations for the improvement of community and agency services, and suggests that study of social and economic needs of older men demands attention.

description: Many analyses and parameter estimations undertaken in astronomy require a large set (> 10^5) of non-analytical, theoretical spectra, each of these defined by multiple parameters. We describe the construction of an N-dimensional grid which is suitable for generating such spectra. The theoretical spectra are designed to correspond to a targeted parameter grid but otherwise to random positions in the parameter space, and they are interpolated on-the-fly through a pre-calculated grid of spectra. The initial grid is designed to be relatively low in parameter resolution and small in occupied hard disk space and therefore can be updated efficiently when a new model is desired. In a pilot study of stellar population synthesis of galaxies, the mean square errors on the estimated parameters are found to decrease with the targeted grid resolution. This scheme of generating a large model grid is general for other areas of studies, particularly if they are based on multi-dimensional parameter space and are focused on contrasting model differences.

description: We use a new contour-based map analysis technique to measure the mass and size of molecular cloud fragments continuously over a wide range of spatial scales (0.05 < r / pc < 10), i.e., from the scale of dense cores to those of entire clouds. The present paper presents the method via a detailed exploration of the Perseus Molecular Cloud. Dust extinction and emission data are combined to yield reliable scale-dependent measurements of mass. This scale-independent analysis approach is useful for several reasons. First, it provides a more comprehensive characterization of a map (i.e., not biased towards a particular spatial scale). Such a lack of bias is extremely useful for the joint analysis of many data sets taken with different spatial resolution. This includes comparisons between different cloud complexes. Second, the multi-scale mass-size data constitutes a unique resource to derive slopes of mass-size laws (via power-law fits). Such slopes provide singular constraints on large-scale density gradients in clouds.

Extreme value statistics and return intervals in long-range correlated uniform deviates

description: We study extremal statistics and return intervals in stationary long-range correlated sequences for which the underlying probability density function is bounded and uniform. The extremal statistics we consider e.g., maximum relative to minimum are such that the reference point from which the maximum is measured is itself a random quantity. We analytically calculate the limiting distributions for independent and identically distributed random variables, and use these as a reference point for correlated cases. The distributions are different from that of the maximum itself i.e., a Weibull distribution, reflecting the fact that the distribution of the reference point either dominates over or convolves with the distribution of the maximum. The functional form of the limiting distributions is unaffected by correlations, although the convergence is slower. We show that our findings can be directly generalized to a wide class of stochastic processes. We also analyze return interval distributions, and compare them to recent conjectures of their functional form.

description: 2.1. Artemia populations and culture conditions
Two parthenogenetic populations (GH and CK-par) and six bisexual populations (SIN, LGC, URM, SFB, PER, and SAL) representing a variety of bisexual species were cultured and their morphological characters were surveyed, and the surveyed data were combined with frontal knob data of another six bisexual populations from previous studies (Table 1). Eggs of SIN, URM, SFB and PER were provided by Professor Gilbert Van Stappen and Professor Patrick Sorgeloos. Eggs of SAL were provided by the late Professor Graziella Mura. Eggs of other populations were from the Institute of Evolution and Marine Biodiversity, Ocean University of China.
 All populations were raised under standard conditions to minimize the effect of environmental factors on the body forms of the cultured Artemia (Hontoria & Amat 1992). Resting eggs were hatched in 30 psu seawater at 25  ◦  C (Van Stappen 1996). According to Zheng et al. (2004) and Zheng & Sun (2008), animals were cultured at 73 psu salinity. All populations were cultured at 25  ◦  C except the high altitude LGC population (A. tibetiana), which was cultured at 20  ◦  C (Abatzopoulos et al., 2002; Baxevanis et al., 2005). Light intensity was about 1500 lx with a 12 h L/12 h D photoperiod. Fresh Dunaliella salina Teodoresco was provided as food once per day.

title: Laboratory Modeling of Critical Hydraulic Conditions for the Initiation of Piping
Creators: name: Fleshman, Mandie Swainston
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Seepage-related erosion is one of the predominant mechanisms responsible for incidents and failures of dams and levees. Current geotechnical engineering practice consists of comparing expected exit gradients with the critical gradient of the soil at the seepage exit point. The critical gradient is generally considered as the ratio of soil buoyant unit weight and the unit weight of water, suggesting that the critical gradient only depends on the void ratio and specific gravity of the solids. However, in the field and in research, it has been observed that piping can initiate at average gradients much lower than unity due to concentrations in flow and non-vertical exit faces. Therefore, there is a need for deeper understanding of the granular scale mechanisms of the piping erosion process. This thesis presents the results of a laboratory study to assess the effects that soil properties and exit face configurations have on the potential for initiation of piping and the piping mechanisms. By using a laboratory device designed and constructed specifically for this study, the critical gradients needed to initiate piping in a variety of sandy soils were measured to assess the effects that parameters such as gradation, grain size, and grain shape have on the critical gradients. The tests are also used to observe the grain scale mechanisms of piping erosion initiation. The ultimate goal of the study is to develop an empirical, but mechanism-based, grain-scale model that can take into account the effects of converging flows, non-horizontal exit faces, and soil properties while assessing the potential for piping erosion to occur.

title: A Descriptive Analysis of the Effectiveness of Faculty Inservice in Latter-day Saint (LDS) Seminaries
Creators: name: Mathews, Mark A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of professional development in the Seminaries and Institutes of Religion (S&I) of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) through a descriptive analysis of the processes and outcomes of faculty inservice. To accomplish this purpose, 140 randomly selected LDS seminary teachers completed a survey measuring the processes and outcomes of faculty inservice training. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the frequency and variation that teachers reported five features of effective professional development (content focus, active learning, coherence, duration, and collective participation) as being part of seminary faculty inservice training. Descriptive statistics were also used to provide information about the frequency and variation of perceived impact of faculty inservice training on teaching and learning and on feeling prepared to implement seven objectives of LDS seminaries known as the Teaching and Learning Emphasis. Correlational statistics were used to explore the relationship among the five features of effective professional development and the reported outcomes. Teachers reported that the five features of effective professional development were generally moderate in frequency and more frequent in summer inservice than school year inservice. Reported impact of faculty inservice on teaching and learning was also moderate in frequency and more frequent during summer inservice. Teachers reported moderate agreement that inservice directly prepared them to accomplish the objectives of the Teaching and Learning Emphasis. The results of this study indicated that current efforts are moderately effective at implementing five features of effective professional development and achieving the outcomes of improved teaching and learning according to S&I standards. Results also indicate a correlation between the processes of the five features of effective professional development and the outcome measures of teaching and learning. These findings suggest that seminary faculty inservice could improve by increasing the frequency with which faculty implement five features in faculty inservice. To accomplish this, I propose that faculty inservice instructors teach concepts from upcoming scripture blocks, provide more opportunities to observe teaching that meets S&I standards, provide more follow-up, and select seminary principals who are qualified and prepared to provide effective faculty inservice.

title: Modeling Lithospheric Rheology from Modern Measurements of Bonneville Shoreline Deformation
Creators: name: Beard, Eric P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Here I develop a cross-correlation approach to estimating heights of shoreline features, and apply the new method to paleo-shorelines of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. I calculate 1st-derivative (slope) and 2nd-derivative (curvature) profiles from Digital Elevation Model (DEM) or Global Positioning System Real-Time Kinematic (GPS-RTK) measurements of elevation. I then cross-correlate pairs of profiles that have been shifted by various "lags," or shifts in elevation. The correlation coefficient (a normalized dot-product measure of similarity) is calculated as a function of lag within small (~40 m) windows centered at various elevations. The elevation and lag with the greatest correlation coefficient indicates the shoreline elevation at the reference profile and the change in shoreline height for the profile pair. I evaluate several different algorithms for deriving slope and curvature by examining closure of elevation lags across profile triples. I then model isostatic response to Lake Bonneville loading and unloading. I first model lakeshore uplift response to lake load removal assuming an elastic layer over an inviscid half-space. I obtain a best-fit comparison of predicted to observed shoreline heights for the Bonneville level with an elastic layer thickness, Te, of 25±2 km (at 95% confidence) when using only previously published shoreline elevation estimates. The best-fit for the Bonneville level when using these estimates plus 44 new estimates suggests a Te of 26±2 km. The best-fit model for the Provo level suggests Te of 17±3 km. For the Gilbert level, the response is insensitive to the assumed Te. I next model isostatic response to Bonneville loading and unloading assuming an elastic layer over a viscoelastic halfspace. This approach assumes constant parameters for the entire loading history, and yields a best-fit model with Te =70±5 km and viscosity ç=~2x1018 Pa s with 95% confidence ranging from ~1x1018 to ~5x1019 Pa s when only the previously published data are used. With the newer data added, the best-fit model has Te =58±2 km and ç ranging from ~1x1018 to ~1x1019 Pa s with 95% confidence. The 12-15 m weighted root-mean-square misfit to the best-fitting model is dominated by tectonic signals related to Basin-and-Range tectonics particularly seismic offsets of the Wasatch fault, and closely mimics the geological timescale pattern of basin-subsidence and range-uplift.
