description: It is a well accepted principle that finite-energy static solutions in the classical relativistic gauge field theory over the $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime must be electrically neutral. We call such a statement the Julia--Zee theorem. In this paper, we present a mathematical proof of this fundamental structural property.
title: A Study of the Effects of Acidity on Shelf Life and Type of Spoilage in Market Milk
Creators: name: Kudale, Jagannath M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1962

description: The addition of the Streptococcus lactis culture in the pasteurized milk was studied, in an attempt to find the effects of the culture in prolonging shelf life of the milk. Various concentrations of the culture were tried to find the optimum concentration that would give favorable effect on keeping quality of the milk. It was found that the addition of Streptococcus lactis culture at the rate of 0.0001 percent has shown promising effects in prolonging shelf life of the milk at the storage temperature of 40 F.
In addition to the above study, effects of added acid in the pasteurized milk, were studied. The adjustment of pH with the addition of the citric acid used in these studies, had no effect in extending the keeping quality of the pasteurized market milk. The acid treatment of the milk showed spoilage earlier than the control samples of the milk.
Two temperatures, 40 F and 50 F were studied to find suitable temperature for storage of the milk. It was observed that the 50 F is not a desirable temperature for storage of pasteurized milk. A 40 F temperature was found better for storage of the milk.
Bacteriological studies done simultaneously, on pasteurized milk stored at 40 F, showed that the coliform organisms did not multiply at that temperature.
The initial bacterial counts on psycrophilic organisms were negative; but after seven days their presence was in large number.
The number of organisms as determined by the Standard Plate Count, was not a reliable indicator of the keeping quality during storage temperature of 40 F.
title: A Study of the Use of the Hydrogen Peroxide-Catalase Treatment of Milk in the Manufacture of a Reduced Fat, Cheddar-Like Cheese
Creators: name: Johnson, LaMar John
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1962

description: Nutritionists, the medical profession, and the public in general have become increasingly interested in low fat food products. Cheddar cheese, as it is now made, has a high caloric value and therefore may be discriminated against in some diets. The production of a reduced fat cheddar-like cheese would be of importance to the cheese industry by providing a reduced fat, high protein product.
The chemical nature of the casein furnishes the foundation for the body and texture in cheese. The body and texture of typical cheddar cheese is influenced principally by its fat and moisture content.
The use of hydrogen peroxide in the manufacture of cheese has been shown to produce a softer body with a greater retention of moisture. Catalase was used to destroy the residual hydrogen peroxide. Thus, the hydrogen peroxide-catalase treatment demonstrated potential application in the manufacture of a lower fat, cheddar-like cheese.
To obtain a typical cheddar cheese body and texture using low fat milk, it was proposed that the hydrogen peroxide-catalase treatment of the milk be used in the manufacture of the cheese in this study.
Objectives
1. Determine the minimum per cent in the milk that may be used to produce cheddar cheese characteristics using the hydrogen peroxide-catalase treatment.
2. Compare the effects of the pasteurization and hydrogen peroxide-catalase treatments of the milk on the body and texture of the reduced fat cheese.
3. Study the influence of cooking temperatures on the moisture content of the reduced fat cheese.
4. Compare the relative effects of the pasteurization and hydrogen peroxide-catalase treatments on the casein by the use of the infrared spectrophotometer.
title: An Evaluation of Antibiotics Upon Selected Dairy Organisms
Creators: name: Brog, Roy
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1962

description: This study was designed to answer a three-fold purpose. Primarily, it has endeavored to measure the inhibitory effect of three antibiotics (potassium pencillin, dihydrostreptomycin, and oxytetracycline) on lactic acid producing organisms. The lactic acid-producing organisms include Streptococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilis, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus.
The determination of an effective dose of a given antibiotic which will inhibit 50 percent of the lactic acid-producing organism (E.D.50) will be established. A 50 percent cut in acid development will certainly lead to an inferior product.
The secondary purpose has related to the detection of inhibitory substances (antibiotics) in milk. What is the possibility of detecting the concentration of antibiotic which correlates to the E.D.50 established in the first phase of the problem?
The third purpose embraces a study of the sensitivity of tests for detecting inhibitory substances.
Euclidean Jordan Algebras, Hidden Actions, and $J$-Kepler Problems

description: For a {\em simple Euclidean Jordan algebra}, let $\mathfrak{co}$ be its conformal algebra, $\mathscr P$ be the manifold consisting of its semi-positive rank-one elements, $C^\infty(\mathscr P)$ be the space of complex-valued smooth functions on $\mathscr P$. An explicit action of $\mathfrak{co}$ on $C^\infty(\mathscr P)$, referred to as the {\em hidden action} of $\mathfrak{co}$ on $\mathscr P$, is exhibited. This hidden action turns out to be mathematically responsible for the existence of the Kepler problem and its recently-discovered vast generalizations, referred to as $J$-Kepler problems. The $J$-Kepler problems are then reconstructed and re-examined in terms of the unified language of Euclidean Jordan algebras. As a result, for a simple Euclidean Jordan algebra, the minimal representation of its conformal group can be realized either as the Hilbert space of bound states for its $J$-Kepler problem or as $L^2({\mathscr P}, {1\over r}\mathrm{vol})$, where $\mathrm{vol}$ is the volume form on $\mathscr P$ and $r$ is the inner product of $x\in \mathscr P$ with the identity element of the Jordan algebra.

title: A Study of a Bacterial Cause of the Late Gas Defect in Cheddar Cheese
Creators: name: Chappell, Rulon A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1962

description: More of the manufacturing milk purchased from Utah's dairy farms is used for the production of cheese than for any other product. Approximately eleven and one-half million pounds of cheese were produced in Utah in 1959, of which more than half was cheddar. Many problems are encountered in the production of A-grade cheddar cheese. One of the most important causes of the reduction in grade is the late gas defect which accounts for about 50 percent of the cheese grading below A-grade. To increase the percentage of A-grade cheddar cheese in Utah, the late gas problem should be solved. The objective of this study is to learn some of the causes of the late gas defect and point the way to its prevention.

title: Accounting for Milk Protein in Equivalents by Dye Binding Analysis of Cheese and Whey
Creators: name: Patel, Prahlad H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: Each of thirteen lots of Cheddar cheese was made from 430 lb. of milk, and the protein recovered in the cheese and whey was compared with that in the original milk. Protein determinations on the milk, cheese and whey were made by an acid orange 12 dye binding test, and by Kjeldahl analysis. Similarly fat recovery was determined by using the Babcock fat test on milk, the modified Babcock test on cheese, and the Mojonnier test on whey. The total weight recovered as cheese and whey was 99 plus/minus .6% by Kjeldahl analysis and 97.7 plus/minus .6% by the dye binding test. Fat recovery was 97.0 plus/minus 1%.
Even though Kjeldahl analysis gave better protein accountability than the dye binding method, because of its similarity the dye binding test along with fat testing could be used by cheese factories to account for two economically important milk constituents.
Protein hydrolysis reduced the apparent percent protein in cheese and milk as measured by the dye binding test. However, Cheddar cheese containing 37-38% moisture and cured at 7.2 C was satisfactory for protein accounting up to 30 days of age.
Analysis of self-organized criticality in Ehrenfest's dog-flea model

description: The self-organized criticality in Ehrenfest's historical dog-flea model is analyzed by simulating the underlying stochastic process. The fluctuations around the thermal equilibrium in the model are treated as avalanches. We show that the distributions for the fluctuation length differences at subsequent time steps are in the shape of a $q$-Gaussian (the distribution which is obtained naturally in the context of nonextensive statistical mechanics) if one avoids the finite size effects by increasing the system size. We provide a clear numerical evidence that the relation between the exponent $τ$ of avalanche size distribution obtained by maximum likelihood estimation and the $q$ value of appropriate q-Gaussian obeys the analytical result recently introduced by Caruso et al. [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{75}, 055101(R) (2007)]. This rescues the q parameter to remain as a fitting parameter and allows us to determine its value a priori from one of the well known exponents of such dynamical systems.

title: Activation of Prorennin
Creators: name: Shukri, Nazar A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: Purified prorennin appeared to be homogeneous when subjected to chromatography on a Diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and to electrophoreses in starch-urea-gel. Crystalline rennin was heterogeneous, and was resolved into six components when analyzed electrophoretically. When crystalline rennin was chromatographed on a column of Diethylaminoethyl-cellulose two distinguishable peaks were observed which corresponded to B- and C-rennin. Unlike crystalline rennin, rennin freshly activated at pH 2.0 or 5.0 was essentially homogeneous.
Rennin resulting from activation at pH 2.0 and 5.0 appeared to be different. Rennin activated at pH 5.0 was eluted faster from Diethylaminoethyl-cellulose column, and moved slightly faster in starch-urea-gel electrophoresis, than rennin activated at pH 2.0. Amino acid analysis showed that rennin activated at pH 2.0 had more arginine and less proline than that activated at pH 5.0. This could be accounted for the differences in chromatographic and electrophoretic behavior of these rennins.
Crystalline rennin exhibited more resistance to urea denaturation than prorennin. This suggested a fundamental difference in their secondary or (and) tertiary structures. It also showed the importance of intramolecular H-bonding for enzyme activity. An increase in crystalline rennin components was accompanied its prolonged exposure to 6 M urea. This was not the case with prorennin.
Nuclear magnetic resonance study of molecular motion in some solids
Creators: name: Ripmeester, John Adrian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A number of solid substances ware examined by nuclear magnetic resonance methods with a view to investigating possible molecular motion. The possibility of using the adiabatic rapid passage technique as a method for investigating the molecular motion in the solid state was studied. Two systems, namely benzene and furan were studied. It was found that spin-lattice relaxation times and in some cases, second moments could be obtained using the adiabatic rapid passage technique; the results obtained were in good agreement with values obtained using standard techniques. Also it was found that the presence of a certain type of molecular motion severely affects the shape and amplitude of the adiabatic rapid passage signal. A number of charge-transfer complexes were investigated using standard broadline (1)H and (19)F nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. Some strong charge-transfer complexes studied in this manner include: a number of amine complexes of BF(3) and some halogen complexes of trimethylamine. Second moment and linewidth changes with temperature were interpreted in terms of reorientations of molecular groups within the complexes. Also studied were a number of weak complexes of benzene. Linewidth, second moment, and also spin-lattice relaxation time measurements showed that the benzene rings were reorientating about their hexad axes at frequencies greater than about 10(5) sec.(-1) at temperatures above 120°K. The activation energies for this motion depended strongly on the environment of the benzene ring in the complex. A study of some arene-chromium-tricarbonyl compounds indicated that the motional properties of the arene rings in the complexes resembled very much the motional properties of the free ring compounds; this suggests that specific bonding effects are relatively inimportant. Finally, linewidth, second moment and spin-lattice relaxation time measurements are reported for some soap systems, the alkali metal stearates and oleates. Transition temperatures observed could in some cases be correlated with values obtained by different methods. Some motional models were suggested in order to explain decreases in linewidths and second moments with increasing temperature. It was shown that methyl group rotation provides a relaxation mechanism in the low temperature phase for all the soaps studied. Activation energies found for this process ranged from 1.8-2.5 Kcal/mole. The effect of thermal history on phase transitions in the alkali metal stearates was also investigated. Thermograms were obtained using samples with different thermal histories using a differential scanning calorimeter. It was found that the thermal history of a sample may affect transition temperatures, and also the absence of presence of some transitions.
title: Effects of Gamma Radiation in Concurrence with Certain Environmental Conditions on Lethal and Physio-chemical Responses of Penicillium expansum L.
Creators: name: Chou, Tsong-Wen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: In vitro investigations were conducted to study the lethal effect of gamma radiation on the fruit spoilage fungus Penicillium expansum under certain environmental conditions, and to study some physio-chemical changes in the fungus induced by the radiation which may be related to the death of the fungus or its ability to invade fruits.
The radiation sensitivity of P. expansum conidia was influenced by such factors as nutritional condition of the post-irradiation media, age of the spores, delayed plating, heat treatment, and chemical sensitizers. Higher survival was obtained when irradiated conidia were plated on Czapek solution agar (sugar-salts medium) than on potato dextrose agar; yeast extract added in Czapek's medium hastened colony growth but reduced survival. The 6-month-old conidia were more radiation sensitive than the 1-week-old conidia. Recovery from the radiation injuries was observed when irradiated spores were held in the suspension for several days at 23o C. No recovery was found at 1o C. Heat treatment (58o C; 4 minutes) before or after irradiation increased the radiation effect. Difolatan (10 ppm), iodacetic acid (50 ppm), and secondary butylamine (500 ppm) were effective radiation sensitizers to P. expansum. The colony growths were inhibited for various periods following irradiation of the mycelia. The duration of inhibition was influenced by the dose applied and the nutrient of the medium tested. Irradiation of the Czapek solution agar slowed the initial growth of unirradiated fungus. No such effects were found with the other media tested. From these results, it can be concluded that under proper conditions, the fungus can be effectively inactivated by low doses of gamma radiation and thus retain the quality of fresh fruit with a minimum irradiation cost.
Abnormal colonies and mutants were induced by the radiation. Some mutants were no more radiation resistant than the normal strain. The culture grown from irradiated conidia produced more of pectolytic enzyme than did the control after 3 days of post-irradiation incubation. The enzyme production was stimulated by the irradiation.
Nucleic acid content of the mycelia grown from irradiated spores was related to the growth stage of the fungus and not directly influenced by the irradiation. The slowed growth rate of the irradiated fungus indirectly influenced the nucleic acid content. When isotope labeled mycelia were irradiated, no radiation induced degradation of nucleic acid was detected in the fungus during 8 hours of post-irradiation incubation, either by chemical or isotopic analysis.

description: While Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is an already established enzyme used in diagnostic kits and immunoassays, it saw a rising interest in the past years due to the possible application in targeted cancer treatment. This requires a reliable supply of well-defined HRP. However, it is currently only produced from its natural source, the horseradish root, where it occurs in at least 15 different isoforms and exhibits an inhomogeneous plant glycosylation pattern. While several of studies have reported the recombinant production in a variety of hosts, none of them have presented a viable alternative to current production, mainly due to low yields. One organism that can potentially produce HRP up to high titers is E. coli. In this case, though, HRP is not produced in its active form, but as Inclusion bodies (IBs). Refolding yields of HRP IBs are low, mitigating the high titers achieved during the fermentation.In this work, the unit operations solubilization, refolding and capture were investigated in order to obtain active HRP from HRP IBs. Three distinct sections are presented here, they are, however, not equivalent to the unit operations. Instead, for the first section, the unit operations solubilization and refolding were investigated in an integrated approach using a small-scale Design of Experiment approach. The main focus was put on the redox conditions during solubilization and refolding, which enables the formation of disulfide bonds and proved to be essential for the correct folding of HRP. For the second section, a scale-up to a refolding reactor was performed. This allowed for a controlled environment and monitoring of the redox level during refolding. In addition, a fed batch refolding approach was tested in order to enhance refolding yields. With the tried methods, however, no improvement of the refolding yield could be achieved in comparison to the batch refolding mode. For the third section, a suitable capture step using salt precipitation of impurities followed by a hydrophobic interaction chromatography was investigated.Based on the results of these three parts, a process which resulted in a specific activity of 980 U/mg and a purity of 98% according to SEC-HPLC could be established. Furthermore, a yield of 567 mg active HRP / L fermentation broth could be achieved. Additionally, the advantages of an integrated approach, especially for solubilization and refolding, could be shown in this work.

We also compute a correlation length. We find surprising regularities in quantities such as $ω_g/T_c$ where $ω_g$ is the gap in the frequency dependent conductivity. In special cases, new bound states arise corresponding to vector normal modes of the dual near-extremal black holes.

title: Analysis of Fruit Juices and Drinks of Ascorbic Acid Content
Creators: name: Liu, Anna Man-saw
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: A total of 33 common fruit juices and drinks representing 15 different fruits were analyzed for ascorbic acid content by a slight modification of the method of Loeffler and Ponting (1942). The juices ranged from 0.96 to 50.88 mg per 100 ml. The drinks ranged from 2.12 to 66.10 mg. All the citrus juices ranked high in ascorbic acid content. One drink was fortified with sufficient ascorbic acid to contain considerably more vitamin than was found in pure orange juice.
The ascorbic acid values of different forms of orange drinks and pure orange juices were compared. Except for one brand, all of the fortified orange drinks contained less ascorbic acid than the pure orange juice. Most of these drinks contained medium levels of the vitamin, 16 to 24 mg. One orange drink in cartons and one frozen orange drink had extremely low levels, 3 and 1 mg, respectively.
Reconstituted frozen orange juice retained 99 per cent after 24 hours of refrigerated storage at 40 F and 96 per cent after six days storage.
The method of mixing during reconstituting frozen orange juice had no effect on ascorbic acid content. Results were the same for all three methods.
It is recommended that all consumers read the labels before purchasing fruit juices and drinks when the products are to be used as a source of ascorbic acid in the diet.
title: The case for Re-framing Māori Suicide Prevention Research in Aotearoa/New Zealand: Applying Lessons from Indigenous Suicide Prevention Research
Creators: name: Lawson-Te Aho, Keri Rose
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this paper is to present a case for reframing Māori suicide prevention research away from a strong emphasis on clinical research towards research that is more self-determining and historically and culturally contextualised. Rising levels of indigenous suicide have produced an intensified global focus on suicide prevention in indigenous, migrant and LGBTIQ populations.
Suicide research in Aotearoa/New Zealand has largely disregarded the potential explanatory power of historical trauma and the inter-generational transfer of collective suffering on Māori suicide levels. Similarly, the effects of regular exposure to racism, daily micro-aggressions and structural violence are often overlooked as explanatory of Māori suicide. Instead, Māori suicide is generally viewed through a pathological, agentic and individualistic lens and Māori suicide prevention efforts framed and informed by a risk factor discursive minimising the historical and contemporary outcomes of pervasive and pernicious histories under colonisation. This paper describes Māori suicide prevention research as a body of knowledge dominated by Western mono-cultural and a/historicised analysis. Such research has overwhelmingly informed Māori suicide prevention strategies and policies for thirty years. However, recent innovations in Māori suicide prevention research which take into account Māori imperatives for self-determination and re-claiming the healing potential of cultural sovereignty are considered and the case for a new frame that enables a more comprehensive, accurate analysis of suicide is proposed.

title: Quality of Beef Roasts: Electronic Versus Conventional Cooking
Creators: name: Taylor, Frances Glassett
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1969

description: The effect of breed, backfat thickness, and methods of cooking on quality of beef roasts was determined by sensory and objective methods. Arm and rib roasts from Hereford, Shorthorn, Charolais, and Shorthorn-Charolais animals were cooked by several methods.
Roasts of the ninth to twelfth ribs were all dry roasted at 325 Farenheit. Boned and unboned roasts (sixth to eighth ribs) were cooked by conventional and electronic methods. Only significant results are reported herein.
Objective tests using the Warner-Bratzler shear indicated roasts of Shorthorn animals to be the most tender of the four breeds.
Sensory analysis by an experienced panel of judges rated roasts of Hereford and Shorthorn to be most tender, juicy, and flavorful.
Conventional methods of cooking resulted in higher quality beef than did electronic cooking. Greater total losses, less juiciness, less flavor, and less tenderness were recorded for meat cooked by microwave activity.
There was a high correlation between objective and sensory measurements for tenderness and juiciness. Age of animal and shear values showed high correlation with the younger animals (11 months) in this study being less tender. Flavor was shown to be related to backfat thickness.

description: This study was carried out in partnership with Akwesasne Mohawks whose environment has been polluted with PCBs from industrial effluent. Using three cognitive tests (Woodcock Johnson Revised, Test of Memory and Learning, and Ravens Progressive Matrices), we investigated the cognitive functioning of 269 adolescents and related their scores to PCBs in their blood. Although the group of adolescents performed as the standardization sample of other adolescents of the same age in North America, we found that scores on three of their subtests (all involving memory) were negatively related to PCB body burden. There was an especially robust association of PCBs with the memory measures of Delayed Recall and Long Term Retrieval. There was some evidence that both PCB congener structure and persistence had an influence on cognitive functioning. The fact that PCBs of low persistence were related to some cognitive subtests suggests that the PCB exposure of Akwesasne adolescents has been recent and may be ongoing.
title: Evaluation of Spatially-Distributed Snowpack Estimation Using Pattern Recognition
Creators: name: Leu, Cheng-Hua
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: A procedure for spatially-distributed snowpack estimate is proposed and evaluated herein. This procedure is divided into two parts, off-line and on-line parts. The off-line procedure uses Fuzzy c-Varieties (FCV) algorithms to perform the watershed classification based on Landsat TM data and a digital elevation model and estimate influence coefficient for all pixels in the watershed. Through the concept of influence coefficient, a set of prototypical points can be selected and located. The on-line procedure estimates snowpack properties at these prototypical points and then transforms them to estimates of snowpack properties at any point in the watershed. To effectively evaluate this new spatially-distributed snowpack estimation procedure, a set of evaluation issues were identified and evaluated. Through the evaluation of these issues, the proposed procedure was found to work quite successfully in estimating the spatial distribution of snowpack properties.

In this note we show that such a cancellation does not happen in QED with background electric fields which can produce pairs. There is no factorization of the IR divergences.

title: Analysis of a Rocket-Borne Resonant Scatter System for Measurement of Atomic Oxygen
Creators: name: Myers, Neil B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: A computer model has been developed at Utah State University for interpreting the results of a rocket-borne resonant scatter measurement system using 1304 A radiation. Atomic oxygen densities are obtained from 65 to 140 km from three rocket flights. The resolution of the system is < 0.1 km, and considerable structure has been observed. The variety of shapes exhibited by the three profiles suggest a dynamic nature to atomic oxygen density profiles in the lower ionosphere. Maximum densities between 2.6 x toll and 1.2 x 1012 cm-3 were observed at altitudes between 92 and 95 km.

description: Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and consider the weakly-almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$, the measure algebra of $G$, denoted by $\wap(M(G))$. This is a C$^*$-subalgebra of the commutative C$^*$-algebra $M(G)^*$, and so has character space, say $K_\wap$. In this paper, we investigate properties of $K_\wap$. We present a short proof that $K_\wap$ can naturally be turned into a semigroup whose product is separately continuous: at the Banach algebra level, this product is simply the natural one induced by the Arens products. This is in complete agreement with the classical situation when $G$ is discrete. A study of how $K_\wap$ is related to $G$ is made, and it is shown that $K_\wap$ is related to the weakly-almost periodic compactification of the discretisation of $G$. Similar results are shown for the space of almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$.

description: Demands for increased industrial and education efficiency in modern times have necessitated more careful selection and guidance of personnel in preparation for and entrance into industrial activities. As a means to this end, there are being developed numerous tests designed to measure abilities and to aid in prediction of potential successes in various fields. This problem is intensified in the preparation of workers in war industries.
title: An Economic Study of Rats (Genus Rattus) in Cache County, Utah
Creators: name: Bruce, John Vincent
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1951

description: The most destructive animals in the world are rats (Rattus sp.). The annual destruction caused by rats in the United States is not known. but it has been estimated to be $189,000,000, according to Silver (1942) of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. Silver states that our nation’s farmers lose approximately $6,000,000 annually. Rats not only eat vast amounts of food meant for human and livestock consumption, but they contaminate and waste as much or more than they eat. Rats are able to gnaw into buildings, grain bins, and other places were food and shelter are available to them. Other feeding habits may be more destructive, such as the killing of baby chicks, baby pigs, lambs, and at times, full-grown hens and ducks. Several hundred baby chicks have been known to be killed in a single night. With today' s need for increased human and livestock food throughout the world, we cannot afford to feed millions or rats.

description: We report results of spectroscopic and photometric observations of ten delta Scuti stars and one eclipsing binary in the open cluster NGC1817, and of ten delta Scuti stars and two other variables in the open cluster NGC7062. For all targets in NGC1817 and for three targets in NGC7062, the radial velocity and projected rotational velocity are determined. For all stars, the effective temperature and surface gravity is measured. Two delta Scuti stars, NGC1817-V1 and NGC7062-V1, and the eclipsing binary, NGC1817-V18, are discovered to be single-lined spectroscopic binaries. The eclipsing binary delta Scuti star NGC1817-V4 is discovered to be a double-lined spectroscopic binary. All delta Scuti stars which we observed spectroscopically are found to be moderate or fast rotators.

description: We give an overview of recent work on charge degrees of freedom of strongly correlated electrons on geometrically frustrated lattices. Special attention is paid to the checkerboard lattice, i.e., the two-dimensional version of a pyrochlore lattice and to the kagome lattice. For the checkerboard lattice it is shown that at half filling when spin degrees of freedom are neglected and quarter filling when they are included excitations with fractional charges $\pm$e/2 may exist. The same holds true for the three-dimensional pyrochlore lattice. In the former case the fractional charges are confined. The origin of the weak constant confining force is discussed and some similarities to quarks and to string theory are pointed out. For the checkerboard lattice a formulation in terms of a compact U(1) gauge theory is described. Furthermore a new kinetic mechanism for ferromagnetism at special fillings of a kagome lattice is discussed.

title: Your Still Not Listening To Us: What First Nations Youth are Saying
Creators: name: Lickers, Michael
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Abstract
This paper explores the methodologies and principles of Indigenous youth leadership. The author carried out 30 face-to-face interviews with First Nations youth leaders in Alberta, Canada regarding their knowledge and experiences regarding leadership. The results show that although some Indigenous youth leaders are acquiring traditional leadership knowledge, the practice of this knowledge, is exceptionally limited. In addition, it was found that while family is prominent in the sharing of knowledge of Indigenous leadership ways of knowing, youth leaders had limited access of that knowledge. The results also show that teachers, Elders and educational programs have played a part in the formal learning of leadership. The author makes recommendations for Indigenous Youth leadership practices that include the development of an Indigenous Youth Leadership centre.

Subspecies: Monotypic species.
Distribution: Status uncertain, apparently rare; few records confined to the coastal mountains and near Damascus. (Fig. 58)
Previous records: Euphrates Valley (Dobson 1878) [most probably the upper part of the valley in Syria, see Benda et al. (2006)], Jeiroud (Trouessart & Kollmann 1923), Qal’at Salah ad-Din and Qal’at Al-Hossn (Benda et al. 2006), Hamama and Qal’at Salah ad-Din (Shehab et al. 2007).
Remarks: Formerly attributed to the subspecies R. e. judaicus Andersen & Matschie, 1904. However, this name was demonstrated to be a junior synonym of R. mehelyi Matschie, 1901, while R. euryale is tentatively referred to as a monotypic species (Benda et al. 2006).

description: In this paper we investigate the strong decays of the two newly observed bottom-strange mesons $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B_{s2}^*(5840)$ in the framework of the quark pair creation model. The two-body strong decay widths of $B_{s1}(5830)^0\to B^{*+}K^-$ and $B_{s2}^*(5840)^0\to B^+K^-, B^{*+}K^-$ are calculated by considering $B_{s1}(5830)$ to be a mixture between $|^1P_1>$ and $|^3P_1>$ states, and $B_{s2}^*(5840)$ to be a $|^3P_2>$ state. The double pion decay of $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B_{s2}^*(5840)$ is supposed to occur via the intermediate state $σ$ and $f_0(980)$. Although the double pion decay widths of $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B_{s2}^*(5840)$ are smaller than the two-body strong decay widths of $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B_{s2}^*(5840)$, one suggests future experiments to search the double pion decays of $B_{s1}(5830)$ and $B_{s2}^*(5840)$ due to their sizable decay widths.

description: The general extreme limit of the double-Reissner-Nordstrom solution is worked out in explicit analytical form involving prolate spheroidal coordinates. We name it the combined Majumdar-Papapetrou-Bonnor field to underline the fact that it contains as particular cases the two-body specialization of the well-known Majumdar-Papapetrou solution and Bonnor's three-parameter electrostatic field. To the latter we give a precise physical interpretation as describing a pair of non-rotating extremal black holes with unequal masses and unequal opposite charges kept apart by a strut, the absolute values of charges exceeding the respective (positive) values of masses.

description: Objectives - The authors' aim was to investigate the representations, wishes, and fears of family caregivers (FCs) regarding 14 innovative technologies (IT) for care aiding and burden alleviation, given the severe physical and psychological stress induced by dementia care, and the very slow uptake of these technologies in our society. Methods - A cluster sample survey based on a self-administered questionnaire was carried out on data collected from 270 families of patients with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders, located in the greater Paris area. Multiple Correspondence Analysis was used in addition to usual statistical tests to identify homogenous FCs clusters concerning the appreciation or rejection of the considered technologies. Results - Two opposite clusters were clearly defined: FCs in favor of a substantial use of technology, and those rather or totally hostile. Furthermore the distributions of almost all the answers of appreciations were U shaped. Significant relations were demonstrated between IT appreciation and FC's family or gender statuses (e.g., female FCs appreciated more than male FCs a tracking device for quick recovering of wandering patients: p=0.0025, N=195). Conclusions - The study provides further evidence of the contrasted perception of technology in dementia care at home, and suggests the development of public debates based on rigorous assessment of practices and a strict ethical aim to protect against misuse.
title: Reactions of the Rocky Mountain Muskrat Ondtra zibethica osoyoosensis (Lord) to Drought Conditions at Ogden Bay Bird Refuge, Utah
Creators: name: Saunders, Edward V.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Perhaps no mammal on the North American Continent has received more attention in the literature than the muskrat (Ondatra spp.), but little of this material pertains to the reactions of muskrat populations to drought conditions. The author was unable to find any literature containing information on the reactions of the Rocky Mountain muskrat Ondatra zibethica osoyoosensis to drought conditions in Utah. This information is of vital importance in formulating muskrat management programs in the State.
Simulating quantum transport for a quasi-one-dimensional Bose gas in an optical lattice: the choice of fluctuation modes in the truncated Wigner approximation

description: We study the effect of quantum fluctuations on the dynamics of a quasi-one-dimensional Bose gas in an optical lattice at zero-temperature using the truncated Wigner approximation with a variety of basis sets for the initial fluctuation modes. The initial spatial distributions of the quantum fluctuations are very different when using a limited number of plane-wave (PW), simple-harmonic-oscillator (SHO) and self-consistently determined Bogoliubov (SCB) modes. The short-time transport properties of the Bose gas, characterized by the phase coherence in the PW basis are distinct from those gained using the SHO and SCB basis. The calculations using the SCB modes predict greater phase decoherence and stronger number fluctuations than the other choices. Furthermore, we observe that the use of PW modes overestimates the extent to which atoms are expelled from the core of the cloud, while the use of the other modes only breaks the cloud structure slightly which is in agreement with the experimental observations [1].
