description: Somalia has a long history of internally inspired terror mainly arising from the threat of terrorism that has threatened both domestic and international interests and has drawn increased military efforts from both African continent partners and China and the United States. The aim to investigate the strategies applied by AMISOM in military diplomacy in the Horn of Africa. The study adopted an exploratory and mixed methods research design. Mixed methods approach allows for investigation of a broader and complex research problem enabling the researcher to utilize more than one approach, both quantitative and qualitative approach of data collection. The study target population entailed AMISOM staff who relevant respondents provided sufficient information to answer the research questions. Currently, AMISOM has 22,000 military troops, 234 police officers and 81 civilians. Moreover, the study equally targeted the Somali civilian population since they were important stakeholders in providing information on the effectiveness of military diplomacy in the country. Thus, the target population comprised 22,315 AMISOM staff and civilian contingent. Out of these, the study sampled 100. Primary data was collected from study respondents by means of a research questionnaire and an interview schedule. The data analysis process involved both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Content analysis was mainly used to analyse the qualitative data and which would be reported normatively. Quantitative research findings were analysed and reported using descriptive statistics, tables, graphs, charts and inferential statistics in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v23). Moreover, the data analysis was structured objectively to address each of the study research questions. This study suffices to demonstrate that AMISOM involvement in Somalia as an act of military diplomacy occasioned by the need to foster peace and regional stability on the horn of Africa region. The study demonstrated AMISOM employs different military diplomacy strategies although at different capacities. From the foregoing, the study points to the need for restructuring of AMISOM’s peace and security architecture to bring out focus and responsiveness to the dynamic nature of the conflict and the enemy. The study recommends the need for further exploration into military diplomacy in Africa, especially given the dearth in empirical literature that is mainly from the West. Following this exploration of the role of military diplomacy in restoring peace and security in the horn of Africa, this study points to research gaps on the influence of civilian component in military diplomacy efforts on peace and security. Further there is need to understand the psychological effects in AMISOM troops participating in military diplomacy efforts in Somalia.

title: Isolation, Identification, and Comparison of the Volatiles of Peach (Prunus Persica L., Cultivar, Gleason Early Elberta) Fruit as Related to Harvest Maturity and Artificial Ripening
Creators: name: Do, Joseph Yungsheng
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: Volatiles of peach (Prunus persica L., cultivar, Gleason Early Elberta) fruit were studied by gas-liquid chromatography , thin-layer chromatography, and infrared spectrometry. Hard mature , firm mature, soft mature , tree ripe, and artificially ripened hard mature fruit obtained from four seasons , 1964 to 1967, were used. A total of 86 peaks were observed in the chromatogram of the tree ripe peach volatiles. Major components of the volatiles identified were mainly esters, gamma and delta lactones , aldehydes, alcohols, and terpenes. In general, concentration of the volatile components were found to increase with the maturity of the fruit. However, that of the artificially ripened fruit did not reach the same level of the tree ripe fruit.

description: LuFe2O4 exhibits multiferroicity due to charge order on a frustrated triangular lattice. We find that the magnetization of LuFe2O4 in the multiferroic state can be electrically controlled by applying voltage pulses. Depending on with or without magnetic fields, the magnetization can be electrically switched up or down. We have excluded thermal heating effect and attributed this electrical control of magnetization to an intrinsic magnetoelectric coupling in response to the electrical breakdown of charge ordering. Our findings open up a new route toward electrical control of magnetization.

title: Adaptive Changes of Some Enzyme Activities in Rats and Humans to Dietary Protein
Creators: name: Kim, Jung Ja
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: A study of the adaptive changes of some enzyme activities to the dietary protein intake was made in the liver, kidney, and pancreas of rats and serum of humans.
The rats fed the 40 per cent casein diet had a higher rate of weight gain and the weights of the liver and kidney were higher than in the rats fed the 10 per cent casein diet.
Three enzymes involved in the elimination of excess nitrogen from the body were found to show a similar response to increased dietary protein intake. These enzymes were: D-amino acid oxidase in the kidneys, arginase in the liver and kidneys, and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase in the liver of rats. The rate of enzyme induction was detectable the second day, being high during the first four days and reaching the maximum value on the fourth day. Thereafter, the enzymatic activity did not change much.
The alkaline phosphatase activities in the liver and kidneys of the rats did not show significant change during consumption of the diets containing 10 per cent or 40 per cent casein. Samples of pancreatic trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen of the rats were not collected during the appropriate time to note any significant changes caused by the diets . A more appropriate experimental design, including proper timing for feedings and dissections, for the study of the adaptation of the proteolytic enzymes in the pancreas of the rats is desirable and recommended. The values for the circulating enzymes of the human serum, 0-amino acid oxidase, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase were not found to be affected significantly by the diets containing 12 per cent and 30 per cent protein calories.

description: Consider a singular Riemannian foliation (s.r.f for short) on a compact manifold. By successive blow-ups along the strata, we construct a regular Riemannian foliation on another compact Riemannian manifold and a desingularization map that projects leaves of the regular Riemannian foliation into leaves of the s.r.f. This result generalizes a previous result due to Molino for the particular case of a singular Riemannian foliation whose leaves were the closure of leaves of a regular Riemannian foliation. We also prove that, if the leaves of the s.r.f are compact, then, for each small epsilon, the regular foliation can be chosen so that the desingularization map induces an epsilon-isometry between the leaf space of the regular Riemannian foliation and the leaf space of the s.r.f. This implies in particular that, the leaf space of the s.r.f is is a Gromov-Hausdorff limit of a sequence of Riemannian orbifolds.

description: The aim of the project is to examine design qualities and elements relevant to residential development in the inner city and determine how they should be addressed in the current planning system in Hobart. The structure of the project is outlined in the following diagram. This illustrates the various stages of the project and what they consisted of. The stages are The Problem, Background, Analysis, Conclusions, and Implementation. The Analysis stage was divided info two distinct paths. The intention for this was to form an information base that consisted of current theory within Australia and the specific local case studies. The Context Of The Problem and Case Study Developments Chapters are both specific to the local context of Hobart, elaborating on the problem and examining local examples, specifically two developments. Whereas the Design Elements Relevant To Inner City Housing Chapter covers the current best practice residential design guides in Australia. The Conclusions and Implementation stages return to a single focus, drawing on the two paths to form the Outcomes and then the Recommendations Chapters.
title: Crystallization Behavior of Waxes
Creators: name: Jana, Sarbojeet
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Partially hydrogenated oil (PHO) has no longer GRAS status. However, PHO is one of the important ingredients in bakery and confectionary industry and therefore the food industry is seeking for an alternative fat to replace PHO. Waxes have shown promise to fulfill that demand because of its easy availability and cheap in price. Waxes with high melting points (> 40 °C) help in the crystallization process when mixed with low melting point oils. A crystalline network is formed in this wax/oil crystallization process where liquid oil is entrapped in wax crystal network. A new material is formed which is neither completely solid nor completely liquid; it’s called semisolid material. This wax/oil semisolid material is formed physically; there are no chemical processes or treatments involved. This material has a potential use in the lipid industry due to its resemblance to the properties of commercial margarine or similar lipids. BW has shown softer crystalline network formation compared to SFW and RBW. It is understood that presence of higher wax ester in SFW and RBW leads to stronger crystalline material formation. Blending waxes of different chemical composition (e.g. BW: wax ester, hydrocarbon, fatty acids, di-esters, hydroxyl esters. RBW: 100% wax ester) shows differences in physical characteristics at different blending proportions. HIU technology helps in delaying phase separation of crystals in low concentration (0.5 and 1% wt. basis) of wax/oil system. Our overall wax crystallization study has shown that there are different physical characteristics of wax/oil semi-solid system based on different parameters and processing conditions such as wax concentration, wax and oil type, cooling rate, storage temperature, high intensity ultrasound. The hypothesis of this dissertation is that chemical composition of waxes and vegetable oils and also processing conditions affect wax crystallization and physical properties of wax/oil materials.

description: For a large class of isotrivial rational elliptic surfaces (with section), we show that the set of rational points is dense for the Zariski topology, by carefully studying variations of root numbers among the fibers of these surfaces. We also prove that these surfaces satisfy a variant of weak-weak approximation. Our results are conditional on the finiteness of Tate-Shafarevich groups for elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers.

description: Let Sn denote the set of n x n permutation matrices; let T denote the set of transpositions in Sn; let C denote the set of 3-cycles {(r, r+1, t) ; r = 1, …, n-2; t = r+2, …, n} and let I denote the identity matrix in Sn. We shall denote the n-lst elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of A by [formula omitted]. In this thesis, we pose the following problems: 1. Let H be a subset of Sn and a1, …, ak be k-distinct real numbers. Determine the set of n-square matrices A such that {tr(PA):P є H} = {a1, ..., ak} . We examine the cases when (i) H = Sn, k = 1 / (ii) H = {2-cycles in Sn} , k = 1 (iii) H = Sn, k = 2 2. Determine the set of n x. n matrices such that [formula omitted]. 3. Examine those orthogonal matrices which can be expressed as linear combinations of permutation matrices. The main results are as follows: If R’ is the subspace of rank 1 matrices with all rows equal and if C’ is the subspace of rank 1 matrices with all columns equal, then the n x n matrices A such that tr(PA) = tr(A) for all P є Sn form a subspace S = R' + C’.This implies- that the.' rank of A is ≤ 2. If tr(PA) = tr(A) for all P є T , then such A's form a subspace which contains all n x n skew-symmetric matrices and is of dimension [formula omitted]. Let A be an n-square matrix such that (tr(PA) : P є Sn} = {a1, a.2} , where a1 ≠ a2. Then A is either of the form C = A1 + A2, where A1 є (R’ +. C’) and A2 has entries a1 – a2 at [formula omitted], j =2, …, k and zeros elsewhere, or of the form CT. The set [formula omitted] consists of 1 n 1 all 2-cycles (r^, rj)> j = 2, ..., k and the products P of disjoint cycles [formula omitted], for which one of the P1 has its graph with an edge [formula omitted]. If A is rank n-1 n-square matrix with the property That[formula omitted] for all P є Sn, then A is of the form [formula omitted] where Ui are the row vectors. Finally,.if [formula omitted] , where all P1, are from an independent set TUCUI of Sn, is an orthogonal matrix, then [formula omitted].

description: The current study examined the role of fear and disgust among participants with BII phobia by measuring each emotion through implicit associations, specifically an Implicit Association Test (IAT) created by the researcher. Participants were administered the Mutilation Questionnaire (MQ), in order to sort them into phobic and non-phobic (NP) groups, and the Disgust Scale (DS) to measure their disgust sensitivity. From the IAT, reaction time results indicated that BII phobics were approaching significance as being faster at responding to matched pairs of mutilation-disgust than mutilation-afraid (t(23)=2.02, p=.055), which was that mutilation images would be more closely associated with the emotion of disgust rather than fear for BII phobics. NPs, although faster responders than BII phobics overall, did not demonstrate a significant difference between matched pairs of disgusting-mutilation and afraid-mutilation, indicating that NPs do not associate either disgust or fear with mutilation more closely.

description: Large amplitude water waves on deep water has long been known in the sea faring community, and the cause of great concern for, e.g., oil platform constructions. The concept of such freak waves is nowadays, thanks to satellite and radar measurements, well established within the scientific community. There are a number of important models and approaches for the theoretical description of such waves. By analyzing the scaling behavior of freak wave formation in a model of two interacting waves, described by two coupled nonlinear Schroedinger equations, we show that there are two different dynamical scaling behaviors above and below a critical angle theta_c of the direction of the interacting waves below theta_c all wave systems evolve and display statistics similar to a wave system of non-interacting waves. The results equally apply to other systems described by the nonlinear Schroedinger equations, and should be of interest when designing optical wave guides.

title: Diversity-Related Experiences and Academic Performance Among Ethnic Minority College Students
Creators: name: Blume, Amanda K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Students of color experience numerous educational disadvantages compared to White students. These disadvantages begin in elementary school and continue into college and adulthood. Ethnic minority students typically have less resources available to them than White students and are typically less prepared for college—academically and financially. Once students of color enroll in college, they face additional barriers due to discrimination and negative attitudes towards diversity. These factors play a key role in student engagement and persistence. The campus racial climate of a university, defined as the overall racial environment of the campus, has been shown to strongly influence students’ feelings of belonging to an institution. This study examined the links among experiences of discrimination, campus openness to diversity, multicultural experiences, academic success, and feelings of school belonging for students of color, in order to identify ways in which we can improve the educational experiences of disadvantaged students.
The current study found evidence that many diversity-related experiences such as cross-racial interactions, campus racial climate, cocurricular diversity activities, and discrimination, strongly influenced feelings of school belonging for students of color. These findings add support to previous research that suggests that diversity experiences on college campuses play a significant role in making students feel welcome at an institution. However, diversity-related experiences examined in this study appeared to have little correlation to academic performance and retention.
School belonging did not correlate with academic performance. It seems students’ grades may be better explained by internal factors, like motivation, rather than external factors, like the campus environment. Perceptions of more negative cross-racial interactions and more discrimination experiences were linked with more negative perceptions of the campus racial climate. Campus racial climate was linked to students’ desire to pursue higher education in the future. As the amount of positive cross-racial interactions students experienced increased, so did the amount of negative cross-racial interactions. This suggests that higher levels of cross-racial interactions result in both positive and negative experiences. More cross-racial interactions and cocurricular diversity activities were associated with more experiences of discrimination. This suggests that students of color are likely to experience discrimination when interacting with persons of different racial backgrounds or engaging in conversations related to diversity. Overall, diversity-related experiences linked to feelings of school belonging more than academic performance. Findings provide guidance for college-based initiatives to improve campus racial climates, in order to create more welcoming environments for students of color.
title: Physio-chemical and Toxicological Studies on Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Certain Deciduous Fruits
Creators: name: Littlefield, Neil Adair
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: The effects of controlled atmosphere on the metabolism of Golden Delicious and Rome Beauty apples, Anjou pears, and Lambert and Bing cherries were studied with respect to changes caused in the normal metabolic functions carried on during storage of these fruits. Atmospheres consisting of 1.5 per cent CO2 and 2.5 per cent O2 for the apples and pears and 10.5 per cent CO2 and 2.5 per cent O2 for the cherries were employed. Fungi of the strains Botrytis alli, Rhizopus nigricans, and Penicillium expansum were subjected to controlled atmospheres at 21° C to determine the toxic effect of CA. The fungi were grown on agar plates instead of fruit to prevent bias, such as condition of the fruit. Periodically, fruit was taken directly from the storage treatments and analyzed for CO2 evolution, for total and reducing sugars, organic acids, amino acids, and cytochrome c oxidase. Fruits were also taken from the storage treatments and held for a specific time at 15° C before analysis. The CA used in this experiment had an inhibitory effect on the fungi that were used. Botrytis alli and Penicillium expansum were particularly susceptible. It was found the height of the mycelial mat was less, the mycelium growth was less, and while sporulation was not eliminated, it was severely retarded. Combinations of CA and lowered temperatures should attain a high degree of fungal control. The results showed that CA had an inhibitory effect on the metabolic system of stored fruits. The specific areas of metabolic inhibition are not known exactly. This inhibition does not appear to be of a permanent nature as shown by the post storage analysis. Any differences that occurred in the CA stored fruit as contrasted to the fruit from the conventional stored fruit appeared to be able to correct themselves once they were removed from the CA.

title: Estimation of the Pantothenic Acid Content of Foods Using a Microbiological Assay and a Radioimmunoassay
Creators: name: Walsh, Joan Howe
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: Seventy-five processed and prepared foods commonly consumed in the United States were analyzed for pantothenic acid. The foods were analyzed using the traditional microbiological assay for the vitamin and using a new radioimmunoassay (RIA). The preparation of food sample extracts for both assays was modified. After the food samples underwent enzyme hydrolysis, the food-enzyme mixture was dialyzed to obtain a clear extract for use in the assays. Previously, the food-enzyme mixture was poured through filter paper for clarification. A very high correlation (r2= .937) between the results from the RIA and the microbiological assay was found. There was a statistically significant difference between the two assay results for all foods and for the subgroups meats, breads and cereals, and fruits and vegetables at p = .05. At p = .01, all foods and the subgroup of meats had significantly differences between the microbiological assay results and RIA results. Breads and cereals and fruits and vegetables did not have significantly different results between the two assay methods at p = .01. For a11 foods and a11 subgroups, the microbiological assay produced a higher mean result than the RIA. The RIA is an acceptable assay for pantothenic acid in breads and cereals and fruits and vegetables. Further study is needed to determine if the microbiological assay or the RIA provides the truest picture of the pantothenic acid content of animal tissues. Findings from the assay of 75 foods are reported, with results from both assays expressed as milligrams of pantothenic acid per 100 grams of food, milligrams of pantothenic acid per serving, and milligrams of pantothenic acid per 1,000 kilocalories of food.

title: Enlightening Consumer Nutrition Decisions: Comparison of a Graphical Nutrient Density Labeling Format With the Current Food Labeling System
Creators: name: Mohr, Kristy Gregerson
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: Providing consumers with usable nutrition information requires an effective labeling format. The objective of this study, which was conducted in a supermarket setting, was to determine whether consumers could, without previous instruction, make equally effective nutrition decisions using a graphic format based on nutrient density as when using the current labeling format. For comparison with other studies, a demographic, nutrition knowledge and nutrition labeling data base was collected. The questionnaire completed by each participating consumer included items regarding demographic data and shopping preferences, and questions evaluating nutrition knowledge for comparison as a data base with other studies. It also appraised the ability of the shopper to utilize two nutrition labeling formats in making nutrition decisions. Another questionnaire, completed by a researcher, assessed race, body type and build, and time taken by each participant to complete the nutrition decision questions. Six supermarkets were selected from one large Utah chain as sites for the survey. The nutrient density format produced the greatest percentage of correct responses. The difference was particularly evident when the data were analyzed for overall total correct responses. Participants who were high school graduates or had family incomes between $4,000 - $7,999 made more correct responses when utilizing the nutrient density format than when confronted with the other format. The nutrient density presentation also took less time for participants to complete. The graphical nutrient density format evaluated in the study is more effective than the current labeling format in assisting consumers to make valid nutritional decisions.

They were the use of high heat treated skim milk and ultrafiltered skim milk retentates for cottage cheese making. Increasing the pasteurization temperature of skim milk from 61.8 to 79.4 C for 30 minutes resulted in 15.6% increase in cultured cottage cheese yields. However, the high heat cheese exhibited variable quality and was generally inferior to the control. Cheese making from high heat skim milk was done by cutting at the A.C. end point and using 30 ml of rennet per 454 kg of skim milk. There appeared to be no relationship between the rate of heating to 79.4 C and the quality of cottage cheese produced. Skim milk was concentrated by ultrafiltration to 12, 16, and 20% solids. The 20% retentate was produced by concentrating skim milk 5:1 and then subjecting it to diafiltration with an equivalent volume of deionized water. The acidification of the retentates was accomplished by metering concentrated hydrochloric acid into the vortex of the centrifugal Culture growth in 20% retentates was inhibited below and soluble phosphate seemed to be an important factor in this inhibition. The yield trials indicated that the increase in yields over cultured cottage cheese made from skim milk was 12.4, 15.3, 5.6 and 1.6% for 16 % cultured, 16 % direct acid, 20% cultured and 20% direct acid cottage cheeses made from retentates. The lower yield increases from 20% retentates was because of the shattering of the curd while cooking, and the diffusion of the whey proteins. While the quality of cultured cottage produced by ultrafiltration was as good as the cultured cottage cheese from skim milk, the direct acid cottage cheeses were much inferior. Considering both high heat treatment of skim milk and ultrafiltration for increasing cottage cheese yields, ultrafiltration seems to be the better method owing to the much better quality of cheese produced. To obtain maximum benefits from ultrafiltration, problems of lactic culture growth in retentates must be solved and non conventional cooking methods have to be developed for handling curds from high solids retentates.

description: Precision saturation spectroscopy of the $^{88}{\rm Sr} ^1S_0-^3P_1$ is performed in a vapor cell filled with various rare gas including He, Ne, Ar, and Xe. By continuously calibrating the absolute frequency of the probe laser, buffer gas induced collision shifts of $\sim $kHz are detected with gas pressure of 1-20 mTorr. Helium gave the largest fractional shift of $1.6 \times 10^{-9} {\rm Torr}^{-1}$. Comparing with a simple impact calculation and a Doppler-limited experiment of Holtgrave and Wolf [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 72}, 012711 (2005)], our results show larger broadening and smaller shifting coefficient, indicating effective atomic loss due to velocity changing collisions. The applicability of the result to the $^1S_0-^3P_0$ optical lattice clock transition is also discussed.
title: The Effects of Added Dietary Fat on Turkey Carcass Composition
Creators: name: Jensen, Steven Ray

description: The turkey industry is concerned with the effects of added dietary fat on turkey carcass composition. Rations were formulated containing different levels of added dietary fat, both with and without an adjustment i n dietary protein level. Orlopp 91 tom turkeys were fed diets containing 2 percent added fat (control), 4 percent added fat (energy/protein ratio constant with the control), 6 percent added fat (energy/protein ratio constant with the control), and a diet containing 6 percent added fat with a higher energy/protein ratio than the control. Data collected in the study showed that the percent fat in the dry matter of the turkey carcass increased more as a result of increasing the nutrient density of the diet than by increasing the diet energy level alone. This finding is contrary to current feeding assumptions which state that carcass composition should not be affected by energy level if a constant energy/protein ratio is maintained . The most significant effects of added dietary fat on turkey carcass composition occurred in the viscera and the skin. Increased dietary fat level with an increase in dietary protein level to maintain the same energy/protein ratio resulted in a statistically significant increase in the percent fat in the dry matter of the skin and the viscera. Percent fat in the dry matter of the light meat and dark meat showed sim.ilar trends due to increases in dietary fat levels. These differences were not statistically significant. Statistically significant positive correlations were found between the percent fat in the dry matter of the skin and the percent fat in the dry matter of the viscera. Lower, but still statistically significant positive correlations were also noted between the percent fat in the dry matter of the light meat and dark meat, viscera and light meat and the skin and light meat. There was also a significant correlation between the percent fat in the dry matter of the skin and the percent skin in the dressed turkey.
Universality of young cluster sequences

description: Most stars do not form in isolation but as part of a cluster comprising anywhere between a few dozen to several million stars with stellar densities ranging from 0.01 to several 10$^5$ \Msun pc$^{-3}$. The majority of these clusters dissolve within 20 Myr. The general assumption is that clusters are born more or less over this entire density range. A new analysis of cluster observations is presented. It demonstrates that, in fact, clustered star formation works under surprisingly tight constraints with respect to cluster size and density. The observed multitude of cluster densities simply results from snapshots of two sequences evolving in time along pre-defined tracks in the density-radius plane. This implies that the cluster size can actually be used to determine its age.

title: 5 β- Pregnane- 3α- 20α- Diol Excretion in Urine of University Women During the Menstrual Period
Creators: name: Liao, Rita Shin-hui
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: Five normal healthy young university women while on self-chosen diets and living under normal conditions served as experimental subjects in this study. Urinary pregnanediol was measured for 10 days of the menstrual cycle. Meal frequency ( 3 meals vs. 2 meals with no breakfast) was also included in the study. A modification of the method of Eberlein and Bongiovanni on thin layer chromatography was used to determine pregnanediol in the urine sample. Urine pregnanediol excretion was in the pattern as investigated by other workers. The values rose in the latter half of the menstrual cycle, and fell prior to the onset of the next period. No relationship was found between pregnanediol level and meal frequency. A larger number of subjects are recommended in the further work of this problem.
Towards a unified theory of ideals

description: Unified field theories act to merge the internal symmetries of the standard model into a single group. Here we lay out something different. That is, instead of aiming to unify the internal symmetries, we demonstrate a sense in which the group transformations may be unified with the quarks and leptons that they act on. Similarly, the (3+1) Lorentz transformations may be united with the scalars, spinors, four-vectors and field strength tensors that they act on. These simplifications occur because the representations can be found in the form of an algebra acting on itself. The approach described in this paper is meant to tie everything into the Dixon algebra: $\mathbb{R}\otimes\mathbb{C}\otimes\mathbb{H}\otimes\mathbb{O}$, the tensor product of the only four normed division algebras over $\mathbb{R}$. Here we demonstrate that the standard model's Lorentz representations may be cast as a special set of generalized ideals within the algebra $\mathbb{C}\otimes\mathbb{H}$. We then make an early attempt at extending this idea to one generation of quarks and leptons.

description: Given a real representation of the Clifford algebra corresponding to $R^{p+q}$ with metric of signature $(p,q)$, we demonstrate the existence of two natural bilinear forms on the space of spinors. With the Clifford action of $k$-forms on spinors, the bilinear forms allow us to relate two spinors with elements of the exterior algebra. From manipulations of a rank four spinorial tensor, we are able to find a general class of identities which, upon specializing from four spinors to two spinors and one spinor in signatures (1,3) and (10,1), yield some well-known Fierz identities. We will see, surprisingly, that the identities we construct are partly encoded in certain involutory real matrices that resemble the Krawtchouk matrices.

title: Development and Evaluation of a Waiver Examination for the Introductory Foods Course at Utah State University
Creators: name: Bragg, Virginia Clark
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: A written objective-type waiver examination for the introductory foods course at Utah State University has been developed and evaluated. Results of the study showed that the examination improved with revision. In addition, it was found that there was a statistically significant relationship between the score students achieved on the waiver examination and the total numerical score representing the final grade in the basic foods course. There was apparently no significant relationship between the number of years experience students had in food preparation, the type of experience in food preparation, and their performance on the waiver examination. Apparently depth of knowledge of basic food preparation principles was a more important factor than just years or breadth of experience (skill) in contributing to the waiver examination score. The waiver examination has been adopted for use by the Department of Food and Nutrition at Utah State University. Recommendations are made regarding use of the examination and the possible need for re-evaluation of the curriculum for introductory foods work.
