title: Jacobsonian versus Autogenic Relaxation Training: Interactions with Locus of Control
Creators: name: Weaver, Mark J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the thesis that matching locus of control with type of relaxation training enhances physiological self-control. This was accomplished by comparing the effectiveness of a somatic and a cognitive relaxation method for internal and external locus of control subjects. It was hypothesized that the two techniques vary in degree of cue salience, and that the attentional strategy of internals would interact with the cognitive approach while externals would respond better to the somatic approach.
Subjects were 80 volunteers from stressful occupations who scored high on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory A-trait scale. Forty internals and 40 externals as defined by extreme scores on the Adult Form Nowicki Strickland Locus of Control Scale were randomly assigned to either the Jacobson or Autogenic group for five weekly laboratory training sessions with daily home practice. The effectiveness of the relaxation training was measured by six dependent variables: EMG, skin temperature, heart rate, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (A-state and A-trait scales), and self-reported home practice sessions. The data were analyzed by using analyses of variance with repeated measures.
The expected interaction between locus of control and type of relaxation training was found only for heart rate. While the treatment was effective in reducing physiological and subjective anxiety for all subjects, internal locus of control subjects and those who received Jacobson training reduced muscle tension and increased temperature better than externals and subjects in the Autogenic group. Externals became more internal during training, and the allegedly stable characteristic of trait anxiety significantly decreased. The possibility that heart rate may be a less easily perceived parameter than EMG or skin temperature is discussed, and it is recommended that future research evaluate other physiological variables for enhanced responsivity under congruent conditions. The importance of further basic research on relaxation training is emphasized, and it is noted other aspects of this widely used treatment approach should be investigated for interactions with locus of control.
title: The Relationship Between Ego Identity Status, Conformity Behavior, and Personality in College Students
Creators: name: Ryan, John H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: The relationship between conformity behavior and the four identity statuses as operationalized by Marcia was studied in 80 college students. Also, various personality characteristics were studied relative to their discernability by identity status and their relationship to conformity behavior. As sex difference was a major consideration in the study, the sample was divided into 40 males and 40 females ranging in age from 18 to 25 years. Statistical analysis indicated there were no significant differences between identity statuses relative to conformity for either males or females. In addition, very few personality characteristics were indicative of conformity for either sex. However, knowledge of personality profiles led to the correct classification into the four identity statuses for 72.5% of male subjects and 67.5% of the female subjects. These results would appear to indicate that identity and personality are positively related constructs which are not easily transferable to overt behavior regardless of sex.

description: In this paper, we propose several dimension reduction methods when the covariates are measured with additive distortion measurement errors. These distortions are modelled by unknown functions of a commonly observable confounding variable. To estimate the central subspace, we propose residuals-based dimension reduction estimation methods and direct estimation methods. The consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators are investigated. Furthermore, we conduct some simulations to evaluate the performance of our proposed method and compare with existing methods, and a real data set is analysed for illustration.
title: An Analysis of the Hiskey Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitute for Navajo Children with Suspected Learning Difficulties
Creators: name: Sawyer, Susan Louise
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the appropriateness of the Hiskey Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude as a measure of ability for Navajo students with suspected learning difficulties. Item analytic procedures were employed for the 61 students in the younger group (ages 5-10) and for the 57 students in the older group (ages 11-17).
Using Hoyt's analysis of variance routine, reliability estimates of .87 (younger group) and .81 (older group) were obtained. The majority of the items discriminated in the appropriate direction for both subtest and total test scores.
It was concluded that the Hiskey Nebraska Test of Learning Aptitude would give acceptably reliable and consistent results for Navajo children with suspected learning difficulties. Further research to demonstrate validity of the instrument for this population was discussed.

Studies in the synthetic utility of the dianion of B-ketoesters
Creators: name: Huckin, Stuart Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Some of the reactions of the dianion of β-ketoesters were investigated. The dianion of methyl acetoacetate (132), prepared by sequential reaction of methyl acetoacetate with sodium hydride and n-butyllithium, was reacted with a variety of aldehydes and ketones to give δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters (150) in moderate yield. The aldol products 150 derived from aromatic aldehydes and ketones were found to be thermally unstable and were converted to trimethylsilyl ether derivatives for characterisation purposes. The acylation of dianion 132 was also investigated, and a modified procedure developed which allowed the preparation of β,δ-diketoesters in fair yield. When aromatic esters were employed as acylating agents, the product isolated was found to be a mixture of diketoester and diketoacid. The reaction of dianion 132 with nitriles was briefly investigated, and shown to be a feasible method of producing γ-unsaturated δ-amino- β -ketoesters. Finally, with dihaloalkanes, dianion 132 gave a mixture of cyclic alkylated products and bis- β -ketoesters. Procedures for the optimising of the yields of each of these classes of compounds were developed.

description: The formation of H2 in the interstellar medium proceeds on the surfaces of silicate or carbonaceous particles. To get a deeper insight of its formation on the latter substrate, this letter focuses on H2 desorption from graphite (0001) in Temperature-Programmed-Desorption Monte-Carlo simulations. The results are compared to experimental results which show two main peaks and an intermediate shoulder for high initial coverage. The simulation program includes barriers obtained by ab-initio methods and is further optimised to match two independent experimental observations. The simulations reproduce the two experimental observed desorption peaks. Additionally, a possible origin of the intermediate peak is given.

description: An action in which the Ricci scalar is nonminimally coupled with a scalar field and contains higher order curvature invariant terms carries a conserved current under certain conditions that decouples geometric part from the scalar field. The conserved current relates the pair of arbitrary coupling parameters $f(ϕ)$ and $ω(ϕ)$ with the gravitational field variable, where $ω(ϕ)$ is the Brans-Dicke coupling parameter. The existence of such conserved current may be helpful to sketch the cosmological evolution from its early age till date in a single frame.

description: The transverse momentum (pt) dependence of J/psi production in heavy ion collisions is investigated in a transport model with both initial production and continuous regeneration of charmonia. The competition between the two production mechanisms results in a pt suppression in central collisions, the gluon multi-scattering in the initial stage leads to a high pt enhancement, and the regeneration populates J/psis at low pt region and induces a minimum in R_AA(pt). These three phenomena are indeed observed in both 200 GeV Cu+Cu and Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy.

description: This retrospective analysis of the Optum Clinformatics Data Mart database evaluated US patient characteristics, healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), costs, and treatment patterns among unvaccinated adults with outpatient-diagnosed COVID-19 to quantify US economic burden. The index event was the earliest outpatient diagnosis of confirmed COVID-19 from May 1 to December 10, 2020. Patients had 12 months’ continuous enrollment before and were followed for ≥60 days after index date until insurance dis-enrollment or study end. 236,589 patients had outpatient-diagnosed COVID-19 (7,692 with and 228,897 without subsequent COVID-19-related inpatient admission >48 h post-diagnosis). The median age was 51 years (≥65 years, 30.0%); 72.4% had ≥1 risk factor. Patients with versus without subsequent inpatient admission were more often male, older, Black/Hispanic, and had comorbidities/risk factors. With a median follow-up of 162 days, patients had a median of 1 COVID-19-related outpatient visit (with inpatient admission, 5 outpatient visits). Those with inpatient admission had a median of 1 COVID-19-related inpatient visit (median length of stay [LOS], 6 days), 33.3% were admitted to intensive care (median LOS, 8 days), 8.4%, 7.1%, and 13.3% received invasive mechanical ventilation, noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and supplemental oxygen, respectively; 13.5% experienced readmission. Inpatient mortality was 6.0% (0.3% for nonhospitalized patients). Antithrombotic therapy, antibiotics, corticosteroids, and remdesivir use increased among patients with inpatient admission versus without. Median total COVID-19-related non-zero medical costs were $208 for patients without inpatient admission (with inpatient admission, $39,187). Results reflect the circulating SARS-CoV-2 and treatment landscape during the study period. Requirements for continuous enrollment could have biased the population. Cost measurements may have included allowed (typically higher) and charge amounts. Given the numbers of the US population who are still not fully vaccinated and the evolving epidemiology of the pandemic, this study provides relevant insights on real-world treatment patterns, HCRU, and the cost burden of outpatient-diagnosed COVID-19.

An alternative portrait : beyond the physical form
Creators: name: Quinn, S
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The concept of An Alternative Portrait was derived from a long-standing fascination with the human body's interior configurations and the potential of these to evoke the essence of individuality and bodily presence (or portrait). My objective is to capture ideas of self and embodiment through experiential and emotive marks and transitions expressed within broad fields of colour. My investigation references both loosely arranged and tightly constructed abstracted patterning evident in formally structured art and the apparent human need for visual order that pattern provides. A survey of artists who look beyond literal representations of the human form and natural processes commenced with the work of Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. Klee observed pattern and cyclical rhythms in nature supplemented with linear motion and vertical extension, while Kandinsky used the human form as a starting point to demonstrate pure abstraction. Ideas expressing individual spirituality can be found in the work of Barnett Newman and Mark Rothko. The capacity of representations of invisible natural processes to extend our understanding of human minutiae is evident in the work of Christine Borland who documents decay, and Susan Derges who captures natural cycles in photograms. Other artists who use forms of pattern to express abstracted natural processes include Anne Morrison and Catherine Woo. Both engage the natural world in observations of underlying processes, structures, and natural rhythms and exhibit qualities that I attach to the human body. Chuck Close employs a complex form of patterning in a systematic approach that is abstract yet superreal. A strong attachment to process is referenced in Steffen Dam's exquisitely structured organic forms suspended in glass and in the materiality of Dale Frank's abstract portraits. The media I chose to express An Alternative Portrait delivers luminous qualities evident in the atmospherics of Janet Laurence's installation aesthetic and Antonio Murado's colour-fields. Significant sources of ideas about pattern are E H Gombrich and Kent Bloomer. The indexical natures of perception and awareness as these relate to phenomenological ideas of body, self, embodiment, to communicating subjective experience, and to a contemporary concept of the sublime are examined with reference to Emmanuel Kant, Barnett Newman, Billy Collins, Mark Johnson, Francois Pluchart, David Peat, Drew Leder, Tracey Warr, and Maurice Merlot-Ponty. An Alternative Portrait invites new readings of the body as a site of physical and imagined presence. I leave an audience to its own associations giving primacy to a subjective interpretation.

Long-Term Variations in the Glaciers of the Alaknanda Basin (Central Himalaya) using Space and Ground-Based Observations
Creators: name: Remya, S N
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: This thesis presents the most comprehensive study of glaciers in the Alaknanda Basin, Central Himalaya. The primary objective is to create a glacier inventory using historical and recent satellite data. For the historical period, Corona images from 1968 were used, and Sentinel-2A images from 2020 were used for the recent period. Glacier boundaries from these periods form the basis for analysing changes in glacier length and area between 1968 and 2020. The analysis of topographical parameters shows that smaller glaciers (< 5 km²), particularly those with lower altitude snouts and steeper slopes, experienced greater area loss and higher retreat rates. These smaller glaciers, with their shorter response times, are more sensitive to climate change and serve as valuable indicators of climatic shifts. The second objective of the study is to estimate glacier mass loss and its cascading effects on downstream regions. The study computes the mass budget of 61 glaciers in the basin from 2000 to 2017 using a satellite-based geodetic technique. A highlight of this work is the use of Cartosat-1 stereo pairs to generate a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for 2011, 2014, and 2017, which are compared to the global SRTM DEM of 2000 to estimate changes in glacier elevation and mass. The third objective is to reconstruct the past extents of major glaciers, including SPG, BKG, and Bhagnyu Glacier (BG). The study utilizes data from Survey of India toposheets (1882, 1936, 1956), Sentinel-1 data (2020), and field evidence from a 2019 glacier expedition. The comprehensive analysis shows the glacier reduction in the Alaknanda Basin, in the form of retreat and volume loss. The increasing global temperatures are frequently viewed as the cause of glacial melt, and it has been explicitly linked to regional climatic factors. In the Alaknanda Basin, between 1901 and 2020, there is an increasing trend in temperature (0.01°C/year) with a concomitant decreasing trend in precipitation (0.1mm/year). Overall, retreating glaciers over the next several decades are likely to affect the variability in the downstream areas and endanger the sustainability of water use in the holy basins of the Himalaya.

description: This study investigates the response of a high resolution coupled physical-ecosystem model simulations to initial and boundary conditions (IBCs) from various sources. For this purpose, we used physical parameters from the data sets World Ocean Atlas (WOA09), CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS09) and North Indian Ocean Atlas (NIOA). Evaluating model simulated fields with standard validation data suggests that all three experiments could resolve most of the known surface and subsurface features of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) but with considerable differences in salinity and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and negligible differences in temperature among model simulations with various IBCs. The modeled Chl-a is well simulated with WOA09 as compared to NIOA and CARS09 data for climatological model simulations, with a correlation of 0.52 for the BoB. Moreover, the vertical distribution of Chl-a is found to be a function of nutrient supply to the base of the euphotic layer and mixed layer. These results significantly highlight the implicit and explicit use of IBCs for better representation of Chl-a concentration in the BoB from a high-resolution coupled model.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
title: Accounting for Behavioral Contrast: Recent Interpretations
Creators: name: Snyder, Ronald L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Behavioral contrast has been interpreted as a function of either (1) the reduction of frequency of reinforcement in one component of a multiple schedule or (2) the suppression of responses in one component regardless of reinforcement frequency.
These explanations are discussed in terms of their adequacy in accounting for several recent experimental results. Two alternative explanations are considered.
First, contrast is interpreted as a function of the relative summation of excitatory and inhibitory effects of stimuli.
Second, contrast is discussed as a possible function of a switch from a response-reinforcer contingency to a stimulus-reinforcer contingency as seen in auto-pecking. Both avenues are considered promising in terms of accounting for behavioral contrast.

description: The geodetic Corsica site was set up in 1998 in order to perform altimeter calibration of the TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) mission and subsequently, Jason-1, OSTM/Jason-2, Jason-3 and more recently Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich (launched on November, 21 2020). The aim of the present study held in June 2015 is to validate a recently developed GNSS-based sea level instrument (called CalNaGeo) that is designed with the intention to map Sea Surface Heights (SSH) over large areas. This has been undertaken using the well-defined geodetic infrastructure deployed at Senetosa Cape, and involved the estimation of the stability of the waterline (and thus the instantaneous separation of a GNSS antenna from water level) as a function of the velocity at which the instrument is towed. The results show a largely linear relationship which is approximately 1 mm/(m/s) up to a maximum practical towing speed of ∼10 knots (∼5 m/s). By comparing to the existing “geoid” map, it is also demonstrated that CalNaGeo can measure a sea surface slope with a precision better than 1 mm/km (∼2.5% of the physical slope). Different processing techniques are used and compared including GNSS Precise Point Positioning (PPP, where the goal is to extend SSH mapping far from coastal GNSS reference stations) showing an agreement at the 1-2 cm level.
title: The Effects of a Commons Simulation and Fines on a Generalization Test
Creators: name: Boyle, William
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The present study investigated the effect of a commons simulation and fines on a generalization test that incorporated several features important in the real world. Two hundred and seventy-five volunteer college students in groups of seven participated in this study. Approximately one-half received exposure to the commons simulation and one-half did not. One-half of the groups in each treatment level received two posttests with a fine option available and the other one-half received two posttests without this option. The two posttests differed in that one was played with a large unknown referent group and the other was played with the immediate group of seven. The results showed that some generalization from the commons simulation to the large posttest does occur. However, subjects in the large group do not cooperate (act in the common group interest) more or defect (act in the individual interest) less, but become more cautious as a result of the simulation exposure and withdraw from the commons when playing with a large and unknown referent group.

Some aspects of nitrogen nutrition of Boronia Megastigma Nees

description: Boronia is a native plant with potential as a new essential oil crop. Various growth and metabolic responses of boronia to N were investigated to improve N nutrition of boronia. When N was supplied to boronia at 50 or 100 kg ha-1 , two fast release N sources (ammonium sulfate and calcium nitrate) caused toxicity while a slow-release N source (IBDU) did not cause toxicity. When N was supplied in a single dose in October during the active vegetative growth phase, highest flower yield was obtained and when the same amount of N was supplied in split doses at different phases of plant growth, the yield decreased. Increasing N levels from 0 to 25 mM in the nutrient solution increased the plant's production of nodes, lateral shoots from these nodes and further nodes on these lateral shoots. With the same level of N, production of nodes and lateral shoots was in the order: NH4+ +NO3- > NH4+ > NO3. The increase in the number of nodes subsequently translated into increased number of axils initiating flower buds and then into fully developed flowers. However, increasing N levels decreased the percentage of total flower buds that developed to anthesis and the individual flower weight. Increasing N levels increased the leaf N concentration, with the concentration in the order: NH4+ +NO3- > NH4+ > NO3- . N form did not affect the leaf tissue concentrations of P, K, Ca and Mg. At lower N levels, the concentrations of these nutrients in the leaf tissue were higher and may have reached toxic levels and caused the toxicity symptoms on the leaves. At higher N levels, the concentrations of these nutrients were diluted due to increased growth and no toxicity symptoms were produced. At decontrolled as well as controlled pH (4.5 and 6.5) of the nutrient solution, uptake of NH4+ -N by the plant was higher than that of NO3- -N. With NH4+ nutrition, concentrations of amides (namely, asparagine and glutamine) in plant tissues were higher than with NO3- nutrition. When a low NO3- level (15 mmol per plant) was given, NO 3- entering the plant was reduced without any accumulation and without nitrate reductase (NR) activity reaching its maximum capacity. When higher NO3- levels (>-25 mmol per plant) were given, NR activity increased to a maximum of only ca. 500 nmol NO2 - g-1 fresh weight h-1 both in the roots and leaves irrespective of 6-fold difference in the NO3- supply while NO3- continued to accumulate in proportion to the level of NO3- supplied. Consequently, high levels of NO3- accumulated in the plant tissue and at ca. 32 umol NO3- g-1 fresh weight, toxicity symptoms appeared on the leaves. The low level of NR in boronia was not due to limited NO3- or electron donor availability, but it seems to be genetically tuned to slow growth in low NO3- producing native soils. These responses of boronia to N are discussed in terms of the plant's adaptations to survive in native soils and their manipulation in commercial cultivation of boronia.
