description: Abstract We examined the abundance, nesting ecology, and colony survival of two invasive species of paper wasp, Polistes dominula Christ (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) and Polistes chinensis Pérez (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), within their invaded range in New Zealand. The more recent invader, P. dominula, exhibited a strong habitat preference, reaching the highest abundances within suburban areas with an average of 87.4 wasps per 1,000 m2. Coastal habitats were also found to be suitable environments for P. dominula, although wasp abundance in these areas was comparatively lower than suburban sites at 26.5 wasps per 1,000 m2. Although P. chinensis were observed to build more nests in coastal habitats, this was not reflected in the abundance of adult wasps in these areas. Nests of P. dominula were larger and more productive, likely a result of the multiple founding and earlier emergence of workers compared to P. chinensis. Both species exhibited significant differences in nest survival, with P. dominula observed to have a higher colony survival rate, particularly in suburban habitats where this species utilized man-made substrates as nesting sites. Neither species nested within forest sites and translocated nests of P. dominula failed to thrive within forest habitats. Findings of this research suggest that P. dominula will not pose a threat to species inhabiting forested areas. Instead, biodiversity managers should focus their efforts on suburban and coastal environments as native species in these areas will require the greatest protection.

description: It has always been for me a personal source of regret that so much dramatic art is wasted, so to speak, on the unknowing times . The performances of many actors and actresses have often been of greater creative value and artistic invention than the efforts of the playwrights themselves. Yet the annals of history preserve, for all time, the written word, while the sound and emotion of great acting is lost with its moment. Only the scant impressions of the casual playgoer survive to bring back a faded view of what glory the stage must have known when great talents graced its boards.
title: An Analysis of Parental Attitudes Toward the Instrumental Music Program in the High Schools of Bingham County, Idaho
Creators: name: Gardner, Clark R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1965

description: Since the end of World War I instrumental music has become an important and accepted part of the secondary school curriculum (17, pp. 56-59). According to a recent report published by the American Music Conference, Chicago, Illinois (19, p.3), there were in 1963 eleven million students studying music in the schools of America.
There have been numerous studies conducted t o determine the purpose and objectives of instrumental music. Many studies have also been made to ascertain what the parents' feelings are toward their schools. Yet there has been very little research or study accomplished concerning the feelings or attitudes of parents toward instrumental music in the high school.

description: We use the Negele-Vautherin density matrix expansion to derive a quasi-local density functional for the description of systems of fermions interacting with short-ranged interactions composed of arbitrary finite-range central, spin-orbit, and tensor components. Terms that are absent in the original Negele-Vautherin approach owing to the angle averaging of the density matrix are fixed by employing a gauge invariance condition. We obtain the Kohn-Sham interaction energies in all spin-isospin channels, including the exchange terms, expressed as functions of the local densities and their derivatives up to second (next to leading) order. We illustrate the method by determining the coupling constants of the Skyrme functional or Skyrme force that correspond to the finite-range Gogny central force. The resulting self-consistent solutions reproduce the Gogny-force binding energies and radii within the precision of 1-2%.

Full counting statistics and coherences: fluctuation symmetry in heat transport with the Unified quantum master equation
Creators: name: Gerry, Matthew

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Recently, a "Unified" quantum master equation was derived and shown to be of the Gorini-Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan (GKLS) form. This equation describes the dynamics of open quantum systems in a manner that forgoes the full secular approximation and retains the impact of coherences between eigenstates close in energy. We implement full counting statistics with the Unified quantum master equation to investigate the statistics of energy currents through open quantum systems with nearly degenerate levels. We show that, in general, this equation gives rise to dynamics that satisfy fluctuation symmetry, a sufficient condition for the Second Law of Thermodynamics at the level of average fluxes. For systems with nearly degenerate energy levels, such that coherences build up, the Unified equation is simultaneously thermodynamically consistent and more accurate than the fully Secular master equation. We exemplify our results for a "V" system facilitating energy transport between two thermal baths at different temperatures. We compare the statistics of steady-state heat currents through this system as predicted by the Unified equation to those given by the Redfield equation, which is less approximate but, in general, not thermodynamically consistent. We also compare results to the Secular equation, where coherences are entirely abandoned. We find that maintaining coherences between nearly degenerate levels is essential for the properly capturing the current and its cumulants. On the other hand, the relative fluctuations of the heat current, which embody the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, display inconsequential dependence on quantum coherences.

description: A key ingredient in the description of double parton distributions is their scale dependence. If the colour of each individual parton is summed over, the distributions evolve with the same DGLAP kernels as ordinary parton distributions. This is no longer true if the two partons are colour correlated. We compute the relevant kernels for this case at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling, for unpolarised or longitudinally polarised partons and for transversely polarised quarks.

description: In recent years the weed commonly known as dodder has become an important reason for the rejection of several alfalfa seed fields for certification in Utah. The rapid spread of infestation in alfalfa seed fields, difficulty in removing the dodder seed from the alfalfa seed due to the similarity in size, and a lack of adequate control are among the main causes for the rising concern with dodder, Dodder is an annual which reproduces from seed each year.

description: We use Poincare series for massive Maass-Jacobi forms to define a "massive theta lift", and apply it to the examples of the constant function and the modular invariant j-function, with the Siegel-Narain theta function as integration kernel. These theta integrals are deformations of known one-loop string threshold corrections. Our massive theta lifts fall off exponentially, so some Rankin-Selberg integrals are finite without Zagier renormalization.

description: The GPS derived anomalous TEC disturbances before earthquakes were discovered in the last years using global and regional TEC maps, measurements over individual stations as well as measurements along individual GPS satellite passes. For strong mid-latitudinal earthquakes the seismo-ionospheric anomalies look like local TEC enhancements or decreases located in the vicinity of the forthcoming earthquake epicenter In case of strong low-latitudinal earthquakes there are effects related with the modification of the equatorial F2-region anomaly: deepening or filling of the ionospheric electron density trough over the magnetic equator. We consider that the most probable reason of the NmF2 and TEC disturbances observed before the earthquakes is the vertical drift of the F2-region ionospheric plasma under the influence of the zonal electric field of seismic origin. To check this hypothesis, the model calculations have been carried out with the use of the Upper Atmosphere Model. The electric potential distribution at the near-epicenter region boundary required for the electric field maintenance has been proposed. The upper atmosphere state, presumably foregone a strong earthquake, has been modeled. The results of the corresponding numerical model calculations have revealed a fine agreement with TEC anomalies observed before strong earthquakes at the middle and low latitudes both in spatial scales and in amplitude characteristics.

description: The doubly charged scalar resonance $T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ is studied in the context of the hadronic molecule model. We consider $ T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$ as a molecule $M=D^{\ast +}K^{\ast +}$ composed of vector mesons, and calculate its mass, current coupling and full width. The spectroscopic parameters of $M$, i.e., its mass and current coupling, are found by means of the QCD two-point sum rule method by taking into account vacuum expectation values of quark, gluon and mixed operators up to dimension $10$. The width of the molecule $M$ is evaluated through the calculations of the partial widths of the decay channels $M \to D_{s}^{+}π^{+}$, $M \to D_{s}^{\ast +}ρ^{+}$, and $M \to D^{\ast +}K^{\ast +}$. Partial widths of these processes are determined by strong couplings $g_1$, $g_2$, and $g_3$ of particles at vertices $ MD_{s}^{+}π^{+} $, $MD_{s}^{\ast +}ρ^{+}$, and $M D^{\ast +}K^{\ast +}$ , respectively. We calculate the couplings $g_i$ by employing the QCD light-cone sum rule approach and technical tools of the soft-meson approximation. Predictions obtained for the mass $m=(2924 \pm 107)~\mathrm{ MeV}$ and width $Γ=(123 \pm 25)~\mathrm{MeV}$ of the hadronic molecule $ M$ allow us to consider it as a possible candidate of the resonance $ T_{cs0}^{a}(2900)^{++}$.

description: In this article, the quantum Hamilton- Jacobi theory based on the position dependent mass model is studied. Two effective mass functions having different singularity structures are used to examine the Morse and Poschl- Teller potentials. The residue method is used to obtain the solutions of the quantum effective mass- Hamilton Jacobi equation. Further, it is shown that the eigenstates of the generalized non-Hermitian Swanson Hamiltonian for Morse and Poschl-Teller potentials can be obtained by using the Riccati equation without solving a differential equation.

description: The enhancement of two-photon spontaneous emission (2PSE) from trivalent and divalent rare earth ions in proximity to graphene and graphene nanoribbons is calculated for achievable experimental conditions using a combination of finite difference time domain simulations and direct computation of transition rates between energy levels in rare earths. For Er$^{3+}$, we find that the 2PSE rate is initially 8 orders lower than the single-photon spontaneous emission rate but that, with enhancement, 2PSE can reach 2.5% of the overall decay. When graphene nanoribbons are used, we also show that the emission of free-space photon pairs from Er$^{3+}$ at 3 - 3.2 $μ$m via 2PSE can be increased by $\sim 400$. Our calculations show significantly less relative graphene-enhanced 2PSE than previous works, and we attribute this variation to differences in emitter size and assumed graphene mobility. We also show that the internal energy structure of the ion can have an impact on degree of 2PSE enhancement achievable and find that divalent rare earths are more favorable.

description: Bernal stacked bilayer graphene subject to a superlattice potential can realize topological and stacked flat bands [1]. In the present work, we extend the study of a superlattice potential on graphene heterostructures to trilayer and quadrilayer graphene. Comparing Bernal- and chirally-stacked multilayers reveals that the latter are more suitable for realizing stacks of many flat bands. On the other hand, Bernal-stacked graphene heterostructures can realize topological flat bands. Imposing two simultaneous superlattice potentials enhances the viability of both regimes.

description: Developing organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as the next generation display devices is not only of industrial interest, but also a scientific challenge in and of itself that requires multi-disciplinary efforts to make the technology successful. Thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) is a recent breakthrough in OLED technology whose prime value is to enable purely organic emitters to recruit the dark triplet excitons in the device, thus avoiding expensive and toxic rare metal based emitters. This thesis is centred on TADF and contains work in three major areas. Firstly, novel ionic TADF emitters were designed for use in light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEECs), which is an alternative electroluminescent device technology to OLEDs, with a much simplified fabrication procedure and architecture. The vast majority of these ionic emitters are based on reported TADF scaffolds where the donors were tethered with an imidazolium hexafluorophosphate group to obtain the ionic character required for LEEC devices (TL and BTL series, Chapter 2). On the other hand, TADF emitters with a carboxylate group were also designed which act as both acceptor and intrinsic charged functionality for LEEC applications (CTL series, Chapter 2). Secondly, attempts were made to create novel TADF molecular scaffolds in order to enrich the current library of TADF emitters. Research efforts were focused on polyaromatic moieties such as anthracene (An series, Chapter 4) and fluoranthene (FA series, Chapter 4) that are seldom reported in TADF literature. In addition, TADF emitters with phosphine oxide as the acceptor group have also been studied (PO series, Chapter 5). Lastly, structure-property relationship studies of TADF emitters were undertaken as a function of tuning of donor and acceptor functionalities using both theoretical and experimental approaches in order to gain more insight for designing desirable TADF emitters (Chapter 3).

A basic, but complete studio installation for production work and radio-television class room instruction in addition to four, individual, self-contained installations a re recommended f or regular classroom use. All equipment is to be compatible and provide for complete interchangeability of tapes within the system.
Present costs of distribution systems indicate that video t apes produced in the classroom, in the field, or in the studio and played back in the class room would provide better utilization of available funds. It is recommended, however, that all future buildings be cabled with coaxial cable for closed circuit television distribution. This form would be less costly and more versatile than microwave distribution.
Included are recommendations of presently available, commercial equipment that satisfy the indicated needs.

description: Using a simple eikonal approach to the treatment of Coulomb-nuclear interference and form-factors effects and taking into account the curvature effects in high-energy $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ scattering, we determine the basic parameters $B$, $ρ$ and $σ_{\rm tot}$ from fits to experiment at $W=\sqrt s=$ 53 GeV, 62.3 GeV, 8 TeV, and 13 TeV. We then investigate the differential cross sections in the dip region for $pp$ and $\bar{p}p$ elastic scattering at $W=$ 53 GeV and 1.96 TeV. We find that the results of the basic parameters calculated using the simple eikonal approach agree well with the values determined in other analyses. We find that Coulomb effects are significant in the dip region at 53 GeV and 1.96 TeV, and must be taken into account in searches for odderon effects through cross section differences in that energy region.

description: We consider nonparametric Bayesian estimation inference using a rescaled smooth Gaussian field as a prior for a multidimensional function. The rescaling is achieved using a Gamma variable and the procedure can be viewed as choosing an inverse Gamma bandwidth. The procedure is studied from a frequentist perspective in three statistical settings involving replicated observations (density estimation, regression and classification). We prove that the resulting posterior distribution shrinks to the distribution that generates the data at a speed which is minimax-optimal up to a logarithmic factor, whatever the regularity level of the data-generating distribution. Thus the hierachical Bayesian procedure, with a fixed prior, is shown to be fully adaptive.

description: We consider two initially entangled Unruh-DeWitt particle detectors and examine how the initial entanglement changes after interacting with a quantum scalar field. As initially nonentangled detectors extract entanglement from the field, entangled detectors also can gain more entanglement so long as they are weakly correlated at the beginning. For initially sufficiently entangled detectors, only degradation takes place. We then apply our analysis to a gravitational shockwave spacetime and show that a shockwave could enhance the initial entanglement of weakly entangled detectors. Moreover, we find that this enhancement can occur for greater detector separations than in Minkowski spacetime.

description: We investigate the capability of the UBVRIJHK photometric system to quantify star clusters in terms of age, metallicity and color excess by their integrated photometry in the framework of PEGASE single stellar population (SSP) models. The age-metallicity-extinction degeneracy was analyzed for various parameter combinations, assuming different levels of photometric accuracy. We conclude, that most of the parameter degeneracies, typical to the UBVRI photometric system, are broken in the case when the photometry data are supplemented with at least one infrared magnitude of the JHK passbands, with an accuracy better than ~0.05 mag. The presented analysis with no preassumptions on the distribution of photometric errors of star cluster models, provides estimate of the intrinsic capability of any photometric system to determine star cluster parameters from integrated photometry.

Hormonal control of the estrous cycle of the ewe during the breeding and non-breeding period
Creators: name: Rahman, Sheikh Saif-Ur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: During normal breeding, the oral administration of 6-α-methyl-17-α-acetoxyprogesterone (MAP) or 6-chloro-Δ⁶-dehydro-17-acetoxyprogesterone (CAP) for 10 days successfully replaced Progesterone and Reposital Progesterone injections as treatments for inducing and synchronizing of estrus in adult ewes. During non-breeding, the oral administration of HAP or CAP over a period of 17 and 14 days respectively, successfully induced and synchronized estrus in dry and lactating ewes. CAP was found to be more potent in its progestational activity as compared to MAP. The supplementary treatment of Pregnant Mare Serum (P.M.S.) did not result in a significant increase of lambing percentage during the breeding period. The high dose of P.M.S. (1500 vs 1000 I.U.) did not appear to have any facilitating effect with regard to occurrence of induced estrus and increased lamb crop percentage during the anestrus period. Additional treatment with estradiol-17-β did not facilitate the occurrence of first induced estrus in treated ewes during the non-breeding period. The results indicate that conception and lambing rates are better from dry ewes than from lactating ewes during the anestrus period. The conception and lambing rates tend to improve when hormonal treatment is administered near the end of anestrus, as compared to hormonal treatment in the middle of the anestrus period.

description: Leland Hafen was born in Santa Clara, Utah, in 1895 and after a fine athletic career was signed as an athletic coach at Dixie in the fall of 1926. For the next twenty years Coach Hafen guided the athletic program at Dixie, and for a period of ten years (1926-1936) coached both the high school and college squads. Until 1963 Dixie College and Dixie High School were combined into what was called upper and lower divisions . From 1936 until 1946 Coach Hafen coached only the high school but was the athletic director and taught classes in history to both upper and lower division students .
Coach Hafen's record as an athletic coach was outstanding: it included as a college coach, one conference championship, one southern division championship, second place in the conference play-off on two different occasions, third in the conference two years, second in the southern division twice , and two seasons when his team placed fourth. His high school record was equally as eminent , having taken his "Fliers" to the state meet on thirteen occasions in this twenty-year span. His finishes were as follows: one championship , three second places , two third places, consolation was played for on four occasions , and on only two occasions did a Dixie team fail to compete all four nights of the tournament . Added to these fetes was the fact that at that time there was just one classification, no "A" or "B" alignments , so he was usually competing against much larger schools.
Coach Hafen possessed a wonderful personality, and made friends wherever he went. He took a great deal of pride in Utah's Dixie and enjoyed telling the many people he met about his homeland , which included all of Southern Utah.
Coach Hafen held many positions of responsibility in both the Utah Activities Association and the I. C. A. C. Conference, and as athletic director of Dixie he realized a life long dream when in 1957 an ultra modern fieldhouse was built, which includes not only a fine athletic layout but also physical education facilities for both men and women.
Physical Education for a ll age groups meant a lot to Coach Lee and he was a great advocate of fitness for both men and women as witnessed by the modern skillrooms dance studios, etc. , etc. , which can be found in the gym.
On November 23, 1959 , Coach Hafen died of complications following surgery in the Dixie Memorial Hospital.

description: Ultrafast demagnetization induced by femtosecond laser pulses in thin metallic layers is caused by the outflow of spin-polarized hot electron currents describable by the superdiffusive transport model. These laser-generated spin currents can cross the interface into another magnetic layer and give rise to magnetization dynamics in magnetic spin valves with noncollinear magnetizations. To describe ultrafast transport and spin dynamics in such nanostructures we develop here the superdiffusive theory for general noncollinear magnetic multilayers. Specifically, we introduce an Al/Ni/Ru/Fe/Ru multilayer system with noncollinear Ni and Fe magnetic moments and analyze how the ultrafast demagnetization and spin-transfer torque depend on the noncollinearity. We employ ab initio calculations to compute the spin- and energy-dependent transmissions of hot electrons at the interfaces of the multilayer. Taking into account multiple electron scattering at interfaces and spin mixing in the spacer layer we find that the laser-induced demagnetization of the Ni layer and magnetization change of the Fe layer strongly depend on the angle between their magnetizations. Similarly, the spin-transfer torques on the Ni and Fe layers and the total spin momentum absorbed in the Ni and Fe layer are found to vary markedly with the amount of noncollinearity. These results suggest that changing the amount of noncollinearity in magnetic multilayers one can efficiently control the hot electron spin transport, which may open a way toward achieving fast, laser-driven spintronic devices.

description: We present Spitzer observations for a sample of close major-merger galaxy pairs (KPAIR sample) selected from 2MASS/SDSS-DR3 cross-matches. The goals are to study the star formation activity in these galaxies and to set a local bench mark for the cosmic evolution of close major mergers. The Spitzer KPAIR sample (27 pairs, 54 galaxies) includes all spectroscopically confirmed S+S and S+E pairs in a parent sample that is complete for primaries brighter than K=12.5 mag, projected separations of 5< s < 20 kpc/h, and mass ratios<2.5. The Spitzer data consist of images in 7 bands (3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8, 24, 70, 160 um). Compared to single spiral galaxies in a control sample, only spiral galaxies in S+S pairs show significantly enhanced specific star formation rate (sSFR=SFR/M), whereas spiral galaxies in S+E pairs do not. Furthermore, the SFR enhancement of spiral galaxies in S+S pairs is highly mass-dependent. Only those with $\rm M \gsim 10^{10.5} M_\sun$ show significant enhancement. Relatively low mass ($\rm M \sim 10^{10} M_\sun$) spirals in S+S pairs have about the same SFR/M compared to their counterparts in the control sample. There is evidence for a correlation between the global star formation activities (but not the nuclear activities) of the component galaxies in massive S+S major-merger pairs (the "Holmberg effect"). There is no significant difference in the SFR/M between the primaries and the secondaries, nor between spirals of SEP<1 and those of SEP.1. The contribution of KPAIR galaxies to the cosmic SFR density in the local universe is only 1.7%.

description: In this paper we investigate the exactness of the WKB quantization condition for translationally shape invariant systems. In particular, using the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we generalize the Langer correction and show that it generates the exact quantization condition for all conventional potentials. We also prove that this correction is related to the previously proven exactness of SWKB for these potentials.

description: We present the field and temperature behavior of the narrow Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) response in YbRh2Si2 well below the single ion Kondo temperature. The ESR g factor reflects a Kondo-like field and temperature evolution of the Yb3+ magnetism. Measurements towards low temperatures (>0.5K) have shown distinct crossover anomalies of the ESR parameters upon approaching the regime of a well defined heavy Fermi liquid. Comparison with the field dependence of specific heat and electrical resistivity reveal that the ESR parameters can be related to quasiparticle mass and cross section and, hence, contain inherent heavy electron properties.

description: Recently, CHIME/FRB project published its first fast radio burst (FRB) catalog (hereafter, Catalog 1), which totally contains 536 unique bursts. With the help of the latest set of FRBs in this large-size catalog, we aim to investigate the dispersion measure (DM) or redshift ($z$) distribution of the FRB population, and solution of this problem could be used to clarify the question of FRB origin. In this study, we adopted the M\&E 2018 model, to fit the observed $z$ distribution of FRBs in Catalog 1. In the M\&E 2018 model, we are mostly interested in the $Φ(z)$ function, i.e., number of bursts per proper time per comoving volume, which is represented by the star formation rate (SFR) with a power-law index $n$. Our estimated value of $n$ is $0.0_{-0.0}^{+0.6}$ ($0.0_{-0.0}^{+2.1}$) at the 68 (95) per cent confidence level, implying that the FRB population evolves with redshift consistent with, or faster than, the SFR. Specially, the consistency of the $n$ values estimated by this study and the SFR provides a potential support for the hypothesis of FRBs originating from young magnetars.

description: Multi-cloud is a promising paradigm due to its advantages such as avoiding vendor lock-in and optimising costs. This paper focuses on dynamic flexible workflow scheduling with minimum total monetary cost in multi-clouds, considering multiple categories of services for each cloud with different configurations and billing methods. Existing studies generally ignore the characteristics and states of each individual cloud when making schedules, which may be ineffective regarding cost savings and quality of service. To address this issue, we propose to introduce a cloud selection decision on top of the existing task selection and resource selection decisions to help us select appropriate resource for task in an overall cost-effective cloud. To automatically learn the task, cloud and resource selection rules simultaneously, we propose a new genetic programming with multi-tree representation based on a customised discrete event-driven dynamic workflow scheduling simulator. Simulation results based on two real-world data traces show that the proposed algorithm performs significantly better than the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of reducing the rental costs and deadline deviation, and improving the success rate. The results also show that the superiority of the proposed algorithm lies in the ability to select an appropriate cloud resource for a task.
