description: In the United States responsibility for education is a function of the state, local school districts derive their authority from the state legislature (Graham, 1962). For many years, especially during the 19th century, the only legislative provision for the education of handicapped children was the limited support of state institutions and residential schools. Recent federal court decisions have substantiated the right of handicapped children to equal protection under the law, including an education, and made state departments of education "solely responsible for providing handicapped children with a free and public education appropriate to their individual capacities." (Abeson, 1972, p. 11) As a result of these federal court decisions all states now have at least some legislative guidelines that define the educational responsibility of local school districts for exceptional children. In addition, most states have specialists or consultants in their state departments of education who give leadership in the education of exceptional children. Also, the majority of states appropriate funds to assist local districts in meeting the increased costs of programs for the handicapped.
Much of the increased federal legislation, including financial aid to the states for educating the handicapped, can be attributed to increasing demands by parents for a "right to education" for their handicapped children.

description: We consider a coarse-grained description of a system of self-propelled particles given by hydrodynamic equations for the density and polarization fields. We find that the ordered moving or flocking state of the system is unstable to spatial fluctuations beyond a threshold set by the self-propulsion velocity of the individual units. In this region, the system organizes itself into an inhomogeneous state of well-defined propagating stripes of flocking particles interspersed with low density disordered regions. Further, we find that even in the regime where the homogeneous flocking state is stable, the system exhibits large fluctuations in both density and orientational order. We study the hydrodynamic equations analytically and numerically to characterize both regimes.

description: The serverless platform allows a customer to effectively use cloud resources and pay for the exact amount of used resources. A number of dedicated open source and commercial cloud data management tools are available to handle the massive amount of data. Such modern cloud data management tools are not enough matured to integrate the generic cloud application with the serverless platform due to the lack of mature and stable standards. One of the most popular and mature standards, TOSCA (Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications), mainly focuses on application and service portability and automated management of the generic cloud application components. This paper proposes the extension of the TOSCA standard, TOSCAdata, that focuses on the modeling of data pipeline-based cloud applications. Keeping the requirements of modern data pipeline cloud applications, TOSCAdata provides a number of TOSCA models that are independently deployable, schedulable, scalable, and re-usable, while effectively handling the flow and transformation of data in a pipeline manner. We also demonstrate the applicability of proposed TOSCAdata models by taking a web-based cloud application in the context of tourism promotion as a use case scenario.

title: Climate, Latitude and Wealth
Creators: name: Stringham, Trevor Greg
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: So many of the world's most impoverished nations are found in warm climate regions that some economists have referred to "tropical" as synonymous with "underdeveloped". In this paper I study the difference in GDP per capita throughout the world based on latitude, and show that there is a significant, positive correlation between distance from the equator and GDP per capita. I find that consumption is different in wealthier countries and that these differences are correlated with latitude. I use these differences in consumption as a new approach to evaluating the problem of what causes temperate climate nations to be rich and warm climate nations to be poor. I hypothesize that cold weather creates demand for greater fuel consumption, better built homes, warmer clothing, and automobiles for transportation, and that production of these goods increases total output.
Triaxial Orbit-based Dynamical Modeling of Galaxies with Supermassive Black Holes and an Application to Massive Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1453

description: Most stellar-dynamical determinations of the masses of nearby supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been obtained with the orbit superposition technique under the assumption of axisymmetry. However, few galaxies -- in particular massive early-type galaxies -- obey exact axisymmetry. Here we present a revised orbit superposition code and a new approach for dynamically determining the intrinsic shapes and mass parameters of triaxial galaxies based on spatially-resolved stellar kinematic data. The triaxial TriOS code described here corrects an error in the original van den Bosch et al. (2008) code that gives rise to incorrect projections for most orbits in triaxial models and can significantly impact parameter search results. The revised code also contains significant improvements in orbit sampling, mass constraints, and run time. Furthermore, we introduce two new parameter searching strategies -- a new set of triaxial shape parameters and a novel grid-free sampling technique -- that together lead to a remarkable gain in efficiency in locating the best-fit model. We apply the updated code and search method to NGC 1453, a fast-rotating massive elliptical galaxy. A full 6D parameter search finds $p=b/a=0.933^{+0.014}_{-0.015}$ and $q=c/a=0.779\pm0.012$ for the intrinsic axis ratios and $T=0.33\pm0.06$ for the triaxiality parameter. Despite the deviations from axisymmetry, the best-fit SMBH mass, stellar mass-to-light ratio, and dark matter enclosed mass for NGC 1453 are consistent with the axisymmetric results. More comparisons between axisymmetric and triaxial modeling are needed before drawing general conclusions.

The role of long waves in the stability of the plane wake

description: This work is directed towards investigating the fate of three-dimensional long perturbation waves in a plane incompressible wake. The analysis is posed as an initial-value problem in space. More specifically, input is made at an initial location in the downstream direction and then tracing the resulting behavior further downstream subject to the restriction of finite kinetic energy. This presentation follows the outline given by Criminale and Drazin [Stud. in Applied Math. \textbf{83}, 123 (1990)] that describes the system in terms of perturbation vorticity and velocity. The analysis is based on large scale waves and expansions using multi scales and multi times for the partial differential equations. The multiscaling is based on an approach where the small parameter is linked to the perturbation property independently from the flow control parameter. Solutions of the perturbative equations are determined numerically after the introduction of a regular perturbation scheme analytically deduced up to the second order. Numerically, the complete linear system is also integrated. Since the results relevant to the complete problem are in very good agreement with the results of the first order analysis, the numerical solution at the second order was deemed not necessary. The use for an arbitrary initial-value problem will be shown to contain a wealth of information for the different transient behaviors associated to the symmetry, angle of obliquity and spatial decay of the long waves. The amplification factor of transversal perturbations never presents the trend - a growth followed by a long damping - usually seen in waves with wavenumber of order one or less. Asymptotical instability is always observed.

description: There is a very real need for exploration and development of alternative approaches to special education (Lilly, 1971). Some have questioned the necessity of teachers receiving preservice training at teacher education institutions (Popham, 1971). Schwartz (1971) suggested that teachers need special training before being placed in a diagnostic-prescriptive teaching situation.
The recent trend is to integrate the special student into the regular classroom. This requires that special educators be trained to perform specialized assessment and provide remedial instruction for a variety of exceptional children in a way that is compatible with regular classroom routine and procedure (Burrello, Tracy, and Schultz, 1973).

title: An Evaluation of the Guidance Program at Intermountain School
Creators: name: Young, Darwin L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: Intermountain School in Brigham City, Utah is a coeducational boarding school operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Students are enrolled in one of three programs: Preparation for direct employment, post graduate vocational or technical training, and college.
A small group of students are in a non-graded elementary program; however, most of the new enrollees are of high school age and plan to take courses which will lead to graduation by age nineteen or twenty.
Intermountain School is located at the base of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains in Northern Utah and is considered one of the world's most unique educational institutions. The facilities now occupied by the school, were originally built by the U. S. Army during World War II and were operated as the Bushnell General Hospital. In 1946 the Army declared the hospital surplus and it was vacant until 1949 when it was turned over to the Bureau of Indian Affairs to be used as a boarding school for Navajo youth.
Prior to the time the Navajo tribe accepted the facility for a school, representatives from the tribe and Brigham City area, as well as people on a national level who had concerned themselves with the affairs of Indians, met to determine the feasibility of converting the surplus hospital into a boarding school.
At that time there were more than 18,000 Navajo youth of school age who were not in school. Many of them were 12 years of age or older and had never had an opportunity to set foot inside of a school. It was determined that the existing facilities at Brigham City could help solve the problem of the critical school shortage on the reservation.
With some remodeling and the addition of a few new buildings, they began operation and received the first group of Navajo youth (542) in January, 1950. Since that time the school has operated at a capacity of about 2,150 students each year. The last two years the enrollment has dropped considerably: in 1970-71, there was an enrollment of 1,500 students.
Approximately 3,800 students have graduated from the school, according to Smoke Signals (1970), it employs a work force of 300 teachers, guidance personnel, maintenance personnel and medical staff.

This report will present the works performed on that recital in the light of their historical significance, the problems they presented in preparing them for performance, the methods and techniques found and attempted for their solution, and the applications that may be generalized to performance on any instrument.
title: The Recreational Use of Irrigation Canals: Logan City Canals as a Case Study
Creators: name: Gast, William R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Irrigation plays a major role in Utah and other arid regions of the West. Canals transporting water from lakes, rivers and reservoires have converted millions of acres of marginal land to rich productive sites and are the lifeblood of western agriculture. These canals are common ingredient in the landscape and life styles of most communities of the state. Cache valley, Utah is one example of an area which has flourished with the use of irrigation canals diverted from the Logan River.
The growth of urban populations and demand for outdoor activities has created need for more local parks and recreation. Time and travel restrictions have led both adults and children alike to seek leisure activities which can take place near the home. This along with increasing costs and scarcity of open lands, make the problem of outdoor recreation especially critical in urban and suburban areas. In the west, a solution to scarce neighborhood open space may be found in the multiple use of irrigation canals. This study focuses on Cache Valley; a community of several canals with great potential for recreation and landscape enhancement.

description: The demand for high-speed and highly efficient optical communication techniques has been rapidly growing due to the ever-increasing volume of data traffic. As well as the digital coherent communication used for core and metro networks, intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) are still promising schemes in intra/inter data centers thanks to their low latency, high reliability, and good cost performance. In this work, we study a microresonator-based frequency comb as a potential light source for future IM-DD optical systems where applications may include replacing individual stabilized lasers with a continuous laser driven microresonator. Regarding comb line powers and spectral intervals, we compare a modulation instability comb and a soliton microcomb and provide a quantitative analysis with regard to telecom applications. Our experimental demonstration achieved a forward error correction (FEC) free operation of bit-error rate (BER) <10^(-9) with a 1.45 Tbps capacity using a total of 145 lines over the entire C-band and revealed the possibility of soliton microcomb-based ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) with a simple, cost-effective IM-DD scheme, with a view to future practical use in data centers.

The Fraser River flood control programme : how decisions get made
Creators: name: Cousineau, John Glen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: There exists a federal-provincial programme for providing flood protection in the Lower Eraser Valley. An examination is made of the procedures for deciding upon applications for individual projects included in the Programme and an identification of when, the way, and the extent to which associated interests become involved in project decisions is made. The methodology involves three steps. The first step is to define the procedures followed by the administering agencies of the Programme and identify the stages during which affected interests become involved. The second step is to'identify the things which happen as these procedures are followed. Interviews with key officials in the provision system provide the information presented. The third step is to note particular case study examples in which certain patterns o'faagency interaction occurred. The only significant involvement of affected interests is after a commitmenttto provide flood protection has been made. Advocate interests (outside the lead agencies) do not play a prominent role in the decisions which are made. The accommodation of conditionally supportive interests has generally not been difficult. The accommodation of competitive interests is more difficult. When the losses to be imposed upon affected interests in general, and competitive interests in particular, are high, extensive negotiations take place in search of an equitable compromise solution. The adjustments made to accommodate affected interests are often made at a substantial additional cost to the Programme. That these additional costs may exceed the original assessment of benefits suggests affected interests should become involved at an earlier stage when commitments to provide protection are made on the basis of the associated benefits and costs.

description: Isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) of heavyion storage rings is a powerful tool for the mass measurements of short-lived nuclei. In IMS experiments, masses are determined through precision measurements of the revolution times of the ions stored in the ring. However, the revolution times cannot be resolved for particles with nearly the same mass-to-charge (m/q) ratios. To overcome this limitation and to extract the accurate revolution times for such pairs of ion species with very close m/q ratios, in our early work on particle identification, we analyzed the amplitudes of the timing signals from the detector based on the emission of secondary electrons. Here, the previous data analysis method is further improved by considering the signal amplitudes, detection efficiencies, and number of stored ions in the ring. A sensitive Z-dependent parameter is introduced in the data analysis, leading to a better resolution of $^{34}$Ar$^{18+}$ and $^{51}$Co$^{27+}$ with A/Z=17/9. The mean revolution times of $^{34}$Ar$^{18+}$ and $^{51}$Co$^{27+}$ are deduced, although their time difference is merely 1.8 ps. The uncorrected, overlapped peak of these ions has a full width at half maximum of 7.7 ps. The mass excess of $^{51}$Co was determined to be -27332(41) keV, which is in agreement with the previous value of -27342(48) keV.

description: It was the purpose of the recital to afford the performer an opportunity of developing overall musicianship and gaining insight into the teaching of brass instruments through the preparation and performance of several pieces of varied musical styles.
The writer elected to perform on trombone, baritone horn, and tuba. Successful performances had been done on trombone and baritone horn prior to the preparation of the master's recital. However, the tuba was a new performance experience because serious study of the instrument had only covered about one year.
The writer was specifically concerned with the selection of literature suitable to the needs and competencies of the performer, sufficient preparation of the pieces, and transfer problems between tuba, trombone, and baritone horn. Of primary importance was the obtaining of knowledge in all aspects of tuba playing and tuba literature. It is for this reason that the writer researched the history and literature of the tuba and not the trombone. Because the baritone horn is a member of the tuba family, its history coincides with that of the tuba.

description: An experimental study of the long range behavior of the ground state X^1Σ^+_g of Sr_2 is performed by high resolution spectroscopy of asymptotic vibrational levels and the use of available photoassociation data. Ground state levels as high as v"=60 (outer turning point at 23 Åand 0.1 cm^-1 below the asymptote) could be observed by Fourier-transform spectroscopy of fluorescence progressions induced by single frequency laser excitation of the v'=4, J'=9 rovibrational level of the state 2^1Σ^+_u. A precise value of the scattering length for the isotopologue ^88Sr_2 is derived and transferred to all other isotopic combinations by mass scaling with the given potential. The derived potential together with already published information about the state 2^1Σ^+_u directs to promising optical paths for producing cold molecules in the electronic ground state from an ultracold ensemble of Sr atoms.

description: We consider the problem of untangling a given (non-planar) straight-line circular drawing $δ_G$ of an outerplanar graph $G=(V, E)$ into a planar straight-line circular drawing by shifting a minimum number of vertices to a new position on the circle. For an outerplanar graph $G$, it is clear that such a crossing-free circular drawing always exists and we define the circular shifting number shift$(δ_G)$ as the minimum number of vertices that are required to be shifted in order to resolve all crossings of $δ_G$. We show that the problem Circular Untangling, asking whether shift$(δ_G) \le K$ for a given integer $K$, is NP-complete. For $n$-vertex outerplanar graphs, we obtain a tight upper bound of shift$(δ_G) \le n - \lfloor\sqrt{n-2}\rfloor -2$. Based on these results we study Circular Untangling for almost-planar circular drawings, in which a single edge is involved in all the crossings. In this case, we provide a tight upper bound shift$(δ_G) \le \lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor-1$ and present a constructive polynomial-time algorithm to compute the circular shifting number of almost-planar drawings.

Creators: name: Crozier, Linda B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Each year the public school speech therapist is confronted with large numbers of children having articulation problems. More often than not, the clinician is additionally faced with the task of selecting children with communication problems from among an extremely large population. By inspection, the list of children with articulation problems reveals a large percentage from the kindergarten, first and second grades who, if enrolled in a therapy program, would leave little time for children with problems in the upper grades.
The need for help with these articulation problems is felt almost universally by clinicians,Johnson (1967) indicated that as many as three out of every four speech problems are articulation problems. He also indicated a possible solution to the problem when he said:
From the standpoint of numbers, therefore, articulation disorders are deserving of special attention and consideration by the classroom teacher. (Johnson, 1967, p. 111)
With the additional help of the classroom teacher, the problem of large numbers of children needing some assistance could be reduced. An organized program of instruction in oral communication or a speech improvement program has as its purpose to teach children proper articulation. It is aimed at helping all of the children in each class become aware of correct speech sounds and to improve and develop their communication skills . The classroom teacher with the aid of a speech improvement program could substantially reduce the size of population from which the clinician must draw her caseload. This in turn would enable the clinician to help those children in the upper grades and to assist those who have more complex problems.

description: The writer, after conferring with his graduate committee, selected a lecture-recital project in partial fulfillment of the requirements for his Master of Science degree in Music Education. As a junior high school instrumental teacher and specialist on the low brass instruments, he was advised by his committee chairman, Professor Max F. Dalby, to also utilize some of his junior high school students on the recital. It was suggested that he play various instruments with them, as well as appropriate solos on his major instruments: euphonium, tenor trombone, and tuba. To show the writer's versatility, it was also suggested that a clarinet selection be included in the program.
It is believed that doubling on brass instruments is not common. The writer, in preparing his recital, however, discovered certain techniques (e.g., breathing, styles of articulation, fingerings) which are applicable to all brass .

description: The angular momentum (spin) acquisition by a collapsing domain wall at the cosmological radiation-dominated stage is investigated. During the collapses, primordial black holes and their clusters can be born in various mass ranges. Spin accumulation occurs under the influence of tidal gravitational perturbations from the surrounding density inhomogeneities at the epoch when the domain wall crosses the cosmological horizon. It is shown that the dimensionless spin parameter can have the small values $a_S<1$ only for primordial black holes with masses $M>10^{-3}M_\odot$, whereas less massive black holes receive extreme spins $a_S\simeq1$. It is possible that primordial black holes obtain an additional spin due to the vector mode of perturbations.

title: Graduate Percussion Recital and a History and Development of Percussion Instruments and Percussion Music
Creators: name: Mortensen, Ned S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: In today1s public school band the percussion section is often neglected. Some band directors consider the percussion section a place to deposit outcasts. Even though a full, accurate and well-trained percussion section adds polish to a band, few band directors admit its importance. Percussion instruments are seldom recognized as effective solo and ensemble instruments even though both solo and ensemble work can help the percussionist become an accomplished musician.
In this paper, it is proposed to examine the history and development of percussion instruments and percussion music and to thus establish the importance or the percussion section in the public school band. It is further proposed to show in a report of the writer's lecture-recital how, through work with solos and ensembles, percussionists can be taught to be accurate and polished musicians .

description: Hydrostatic equilibrium (HE) is often used in observations to estimate galaxy clusters masses. We use a set of almost 300 simulated clusters from The Three Hundred Project, to estimate the cluster HE mass and the bias deriving from it. We study the dependence of the bias on several dynamical state indicators across a redshift range from 0.07 to 1.3, finding no dependence between them. Moreover, we focus our attention on the evolution of the HE bias during the merger phase, where the bias even reaches negative values due to an overestimation of the mass with HE.

description: The writer's presentation of the recital was concerned with improving and demonstrating playing technique on the french horn also introducing some original ensemble compositions to both performers and listeners which might be used by music students. It is the belief of the writer that many qualities of good musicianship can be developed more rapidly through solo and small ensemble performance than through larger organizations because literature can be selected which is more suitable for the capabilities and developmental needs of the individual performer. It is hoped that these ensembles will be useful and worthwhile contributions to the demand for ensemble literature.
title: A Curriculum for the Manpower Stenographic Training Program at Utah State University
Creators: name: Holman, Karen Olsen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Substantial numbers of the workers potential to the labor force-- especially those in the disadvantaged sector of the population--will require remedial and/or refresher job training in a wide range of occupations.1
The Manpower Stenographic Training Program is a secretarial training course designed to enable female unemployed primary wage earners and heads of households to obtain this remedial and/or refresher job training necessary for entry-level positions in office occupations. Similar programs have operated at Utah State University since 1967 under the Manpower Development Training Act of 1962. The act was signed into law when Congress officially recognized the problem of a rapidly expanding and inexperienced labor force and realized that a large-scale training program was necessary.
The instructional objectives outlined for these programs are:
1. To prepare the trainees to reach a level of performance necessary to meet entry requirements of employers for the following activities: typewriting, related clerical duties including copying, tabulating, computing, recording, handing cash, and operating dictating, duplicating, and calculating machines.
2. To give trainees with adequate background and aptitude an opportunity to learn shorthand so they may take dictation and transcribe it in an acceptable manner.
3. To provide a variety of options to the trainees to allow for training to the employable level in related occupations such as general office clerk, clerk typist, bookkeeper, office machines operator, and file clerk.
4. To give trainees an appreciation for good human relations and techniques for enhancing interpersonal relations with others.
5. to develop in the trainees as a result of intensive and continuous counseling a self-concept which will provide them with the confidence to accept challenging assignments and complete them in a competent manner.
6. To give the trainees an appreciation of the world of work and expectations of respective employers via cooperative work experience programs to allow them to apply the various skills they have acquired in the classroom.2
At present, the Manpower Stenographic Training Program operates year round on an open-entry, open-exit basis. The majority of the instruction is programmed individually and tailored to meet the students' needs. Thus, students progress at their own rate and may attend the program as long as is needed or to a maximum of nine months.
Anomalous Thermal Hall Effect in Chiral Phases of $^3$He-Aerogel

description: We report theoretical results for heat transport by quasiparticle excitations in superfluid $^3$He infused into silica aerogel engineered with uniaxial anisotropy. For this system two distinct equal spin pairing (ESP) superfluid phases have been reported based on NMR spectroscopy. Theoretical analysis predicts the first ESP state to be the chiral A phase with chiral axis aligned along the strain axis, and the lower temperature phase to be a polar-distorted chiral phase with random transverse fluctuations in the orientation of the chiral axis. We report calculations of heat transport for the high temperature chiral phase, including an anomalous (zero field) thermal Hall current originating from branch conversion scattering of Bogoliubov quasiparticles by the chiral order parameter induced by potential scattering by the silica aerogel. Observation of an anomalous thermal Hall current would provide a direct signature of the underlying chirality and topology of the superfluid phase of $^3$He in "stretched" silica aerogels.

Magnetic fields in star formation: a complete compilation of all the DCF estimations

description: The Davis-Chandrasekhar-Fermi (DCF) method provides an indirect way to estimate the magnetic field strength from statistics of magnetic field orientations. We compile all the previous DCF estimations from polarized dust emission observations and re-calculate the magnetic field strength of the selected samples with the new DCF correction factors in Liu et al. (2021). We find the magnetic field scales with the volume density as $B \propto n^{0.57}$. However, the estimated power-law index of the observed $B-n$ relation has large uncertainties and may not be comparable to the $B-n$ relation of theoretical models. A clear trend of decreasing magnetic viral parameter (i.e., increasing mass-to-flux ratio in units of critical value) with increasing column density is found in the sample, which suggests the magnetic field dominates the gravity at lower densities but cannot compete with the gravity at higher densities. This finding also indicates that the magnetic flux is dissipated at higher column densities due to ambipolar diffusion or magnetic recennection, and the accumulation of mass at higher densities may be by mass flows along the magnetic field lines. Both sub-Alfvénic and super-Alfvénic states are found in the sample, with the average state being approximately trans-Alfvénic.

description: Higher-order topological phase in 2-dimensional (2D) systems is characterized by in-gap corner states, which are hard to detect and utilize. We numerically investigate transport properties of topological corner states in 2D honeycomb lattice, where the second-order topological phase is induced by an in-plane Zeeman field in the conventional Kane-Mele model. Through engineering multihollow structures with appropriate boundaries in honeycomb lattice, multiple corner states emerge, which greatly increases the probability to observe them. A typical two-probe setup is built to study the transport features of a diamond-shaped system with multihollow structures. Numerical results reveal the existence of global resonant states in bulk insulator, which corresponds to the resonant tunneling of multiple corner states and occupies the entire scattering region. Furthermore, based on the well separated energy levels of multiple corner states, a single-electron source is constructed.

description: The writer, in preparing for the recital , was concerned mainly with the following objectives:
1. To improve his own ability to perform well with the vocal instrument.
2. To find new avenues of approach to the problem of teaching correct vocal methods in the classroom.
It is the belief of the writer that if one does not continue to study and learn of the many problems that arise in teaching the vocal art , he will not perform well as a teacher of that, or any, art. The writer is sure that if he had not continued his studies to improve his teaching method and understanding of the problems involved, the amount of improvement in his own work would not have been nearly so noticeable.
The writer keeps thinking of his first few years in the classroom. He realized that his methods and experience at that point had not developed to a degree of adequate performance for classroom instruction. It was this need for more understanding that motivated him to obtain more information about the subject of which was trying to teach. It was this motivation that led to the election of a recital program.
