title: Alternative Steel Reinforcement in Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls
Creators: name: Pond, Daniel T.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Mechanically Stabilize Earth (MSE) is a method in which soil tensile strength and shear resistance is increased by using reinforcement. The traditional forms of reinforcement include bars, galvanized strips, welded wire mats or steel grids, and geosynthetics.When steel is used as reinforcement in MSE walls, it gets corroded or decayed. Certain shapes of reinforcement will have less corrosion because less surface area is exposed. Pullout resistance is the ability to resist a tensile force. This can be affected by the design and shape of the steel. This study simulates different overburden depths or pressures for pullout resistance and evaluates standard corrosion rates.
title: Earthquake Petrology: Linking Fault-Related Deformation to the Earthquake Cycle

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Faults have a controlling influence on a variety of geologic processes includingfluid flow, the mechanical behavior of the crust, and seismicity. The geologic sciences have long recognized that faults generate earthquakes; however, few indicators of ancient earthquakes exist in fault-zones. This dissertation documents several indicators for the preservation of ancient earthquakes in fault-zones including frictional melt (pseudotachylyte), highly-polished fault slip surfaces, and hydrothermal alteration. These deformation products result from rapid generation of frictional heat during earthquakes.This dissertation also focuses on the seismic potential of continental low-angle normal faults (LANF). We document the preservation of voluminous pseudotachylyte along a LANF suggesting that the fault repeatedly nucleated large earthquakes. Additionally, a synthesis of reported occurrences of LANF pseudotachylyte indicates that LANF seismicity is common during extension. This has important implication for the mechanics and evolution of LANFs and for the assessment of seismic hazards.We also present a little used, high resolution, and low-cost 3D range camera for use in geolgy. The KinectTM is a 3D infrared range camera that can be used to collect high- resolution (± 1 mm), 3D data in both field and laboratory settings. We describe the use of the KinectTM in geologic appications and recommend more widespread use.

description: Akuzipik (Yupigestun/Yupik/St. Lawrence Island Yupik/Siberian Yupik/Chaplinski Yupik) is an endangered language belonging to the Yupik branch of the Inuit-Yupik-Unangan language family. It is currently spoken by 800-900 people in the Bering Strait region, mainly on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska (St. Lawrence Island Yupik), and on the coast of the Chukotka Peninsula, in Russia (Chaplinski Yupik) (de Reuse 1994; Schwartz et al. 2019). The linguistic differences between these two varieties seem to be minor and not affect mutual intelligibility (Krauss 1975). The language has been undergoing a rapid generational shift, beginning in the 1950s in Russia and in the 1990s in Alaska (Schwartz et al. 2019).

description: In this work we study the Hilbert space space of N-valent SU(2) intertwiners with fixed total spin, which can be identified, at the classical level, with a space of convex polyhedra with N face and fixed total boundary area. We show that this Hilbert space provides, quite remarkably, an irreducible representation of the U(N) group. This gives us therefore a precise identification of U(N) as a group of area preserving diffeomorphism of polyhedral spheres. We use this results to get new closed formulae for the black hole entropy in loop quantum gravity.

title: Evaluating the Smart Steps For Stepfamilies: Embrace the Journey Program, a Hierarchical Examination
Creators: name: Reck, Katie L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Over the past decade, relationship education has grown as a means of enhancing couple relations. This study examines the experiences of 2,828 ethnically diverse and low-income adults who participated in the Smart Steps for Stepfamilies: Embrace the Journey program, a 12-hour stepfamily education program. Self-report measures of relationship quality, couple commitment, and relationship instability were gathered prior to and immediately after the Smart Steps intervention as well as six weeks, six months, and one year post-program. Results suggest that stepfamily participants experienced increases in relationship quality; however, these increases reduced to near pre-program levels one year after the programs completion. Results further showed no changes in couple commitment or relationship instability measures nor among differing participant groups including Latinos, European Americans, low-income, moderate- income, married, unmarried, those in a first marriage, second remarriage, and higher order remarriage. Finally a cost-analysis of the program was conducted. Application of these findings and policy implications are discussed.
Moon and Sun Shadowing Observed by the MACRO Detector
Creators: name: MACRO Collaboration
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: Using over 40 million muons collected since 1989 by the MACRO detector we have searched for a depletion of muons coming from the direction of the Moon due to primary cosmic rays striking the Moon. We observe this Moon shadow in the expected position with a statistical significance of more than 5 standard deviations.We have analyzed the same data for an analogous Sun shadow, and have found a signal with a significance of about 4 standard deviations. The Sun shadow is displaced from the Sun's position by about 0.6 degrees North in ecliptic coordinates. This displacement is compatible with a deflection of primary cosmic rays due to the Interplanetary Magnetic Field in the 10-20 TeV primary energy range which is relevant to the underground muons observed by MACRO.
Fa d’Ambô (Equatorial Guinea) - Language Snapshot

Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2021

description: Fa d’Ambô is a Portuguese-lexifier creole language spoken in Annobón Island in the Gulf of Guinea and part of Equatorial Guinea. The language is genetically related to three other creoles spoken in the Gulf of Guinea, in São Tomé and Príncipe: Lungwa Santome or Forro, Angolar, and Lung’Ie or Principense. During fieldwork on Annobón conducted in 2012, I observed that all locals speak the language. There are a few elderly monolinguals but the majority are bilingual in Spanish, or multilingual. As a minority language in a multilingual country, there is no linguistic planning or policy for Fa d’Ambô in education, nor any standardization. However, its situation is stable, since children continue to acquire it as a first language. The language shares many lexical and grammatical characteristics with the other Gulf of Guinea creoles. Research on Fa d’Ambô encompasses a corpus, word lists, grammars, and research papers.

description: Stable chaos is a generalization of the chaotic behaviour exhibited by cellular automata to continuous-variable systems and it owes its name to an underlying irregular and yet linearly stable dynamics. In this review we discuss analogies and differences with the usual deterministic chaos and introduce several tools for its characterization. Some examples of transitions from ordered behavior to stable chaos are also analyzed to further clarify the underlying dynamical properties. Finally, two models are specifically discussed: the diatomic hard-point gas chain and a network of globally coupled neurons.

Long-term monitoring in IC4665: Fast rotation and weak variability in very low mass objects

description: We present the combined results of three photometric monitoring campaigns targeting very low mass (VLM) stars and brown dwarfs in the young open cluster IC4665 (age ~40 Myr). In all three runs, we observe ~100 cluster members, allowing us for the first time to put limits on the evolution of spots and magnetic activity in fully convective objects on timescales of a few years. For 20 objects covering masses from 0.05 to 0.5 Msol we detect a periodic flux modulation, indicating the presence of magnetic spots co-rotating with the objects. The detection rate of photometric periods (~20%) is significantly lower than in solar-mass stars at the same age, which points to a mass dependence in the spot properties. With two exceptions, none of the objects exhibit variability and thus spot activity in more than one season. This is contrary to what is seen in solar-mass stars and indicates that spot configurations capable of producing photometric modulations occur relatively rarely and are transient in VLM objects. The rotation periods derived in this paper range from 3 to 30h, arguing for a lack of slow rotators among VLM objects. The periods fit into a rotational evolution scenario with pre-main sequence contraction and moderate (40-50%) angular momentum losses due to wind braking. By combining our findings with literature results, we identify two regimes of rotational and magnetic properties, called C- and I-sequence. Main properties on the C-sequence are fast rotation, weak wind braking, Halpha emission, and saturated activity levels, while the I-sequence is characterised by slow rotation, strong wind braking, no Halpha emission, and linear activity-rotation relationship. Rotation rate and stellar mass are the primary parameters that determine in which regime an object is found. (abridged)

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Vocalizations are widely used to signal behavioural intention in animal communication, but may also carry additional information encoded in the signal, in particular, vocalisations may carry acoustic signatures unique to the calling individual. Manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) are nocturnal seabirds that breed in dense colonies, where they must recognize and locate mates among thousands of conspecifics calling in the dark. There is evidence for individual vocal signatures in two shearwater species, but quantitative data on the vocalisations of Manx shearwater are lacking. We recorded calls of 13 Manx shearwaters on Lundy Island, UK, by eliciting vocal responses to playback of conspecific calls. We measured several spectral and temporal parameters of the calls, applied linear discriminate analysis with leave-one-out cross-validation, and have confirmed the individual vocal signatures. We then calculated among-individual repeatability of 34 features describing the vocalization to determine the extent to which these features may contribute to individual signature coding. We found that calls cluster by individual in both temporal and spectral characteristics, suggesting these are contributing to Manx shearwaters' unique call signatures.

description: A colloidal system usually refers to when very small particles are suspended within a solution. The study of these systems encompasses a variety of cases including bacteria in ground water, blood cells and platelets in blood plasma, and river silt transport. Taking a look at these kinds of systems using computer simulation can provide a great deal of insight into how they work. Most approaches to date do not look at the details of the system, however, and are specific to given system. In this study a program called OpenFOAM is used as a basis to build a computer simulation tool that is flexible and that provides a detailed look at what is happening with all of the particles within the colloidal solution. This code is run through a series of tests to verify its usefulness.

description: Iñapari is an Arawak language spoken by four siblings in the village of Sabaluyoc along the Las Piedras River in the department of Madre de Dios, Peru. In catalogs and other literature, Iñapari is often incorrectly classified as being (possibly) extinct. In response to the lack of information on the language, an intensive five-week field research scenario in July 2019 was conducted with the primary goal of ascertaining the vitality of the language and, if possible, collecting information and materials about its morphosyntax. Information was recorded through elicitation, conversation, and naturalistic storytelling. It is hoped that this sketch will contribute to the understanding of Iñapari specifically, and its favorable valuation as a linguistic resource for its speakers generally.

title: Winter Waterbird Ecology on the Great Salt Lake, Utah, and Interactions with Commercial Harvest of Brine Shrimp Cysts
Creators: name: Roberts, Anthony J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Interactions among commercial fisheries and birds have been studied in open ocean ecosystems and at aquaculture facilities. On the Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah, USA, a commercial harvest of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) eggs (i.e. cysts) occurs annually during fall and winter. Coinciding with commercial harvest is the use of the GSL by millions of waterbirds which has the potential to result in conflict among industry and birds. The objectives of my research were to examine fall and winter ecology of birds using the GSL and interactions with the brine shrimp cyst harvest. I examined the influence of temperature and food availability on the number and distribution of waterfowl and eared grebes (Podiceps nigricollis). I also assessed the diets of the same species to see how much cyst biomass is being consumed by birds compared to removal by commercial harvest. A mass die-off (i.e. downing) of migrating eared grebes occurred during my research, so I assessed differences among birds that died and those that did not to better explain this phenomenon. Finally, I assessed the breeding origin of northern shovelers (Anas clypeata) wintering on the GSL using stable isotopeand banding data.I found that commercial harvest boats did not influence duck population numbersor distribution; rather temperature and food availability most influenced abundance and distribution, though this influence varied by species. Compared to commercial harvest, northern shovelers, green-winged teal (Anas crecca), and eared grebes removed a small fraction of the total amount of cysts that were removed from the GSL. Waterfowl diets were mainly wetland plant seeds during fall and spring, but when freshwater marshes were frozen in winter, ducks ate mostly brine shrimp cysts and brine fly (Ephydra spp.) larvae. Eared grebes are highly associated with saltwater habitats and they consumed adult brine shrimp most of the fall. Eared grebes that perished during the downing had mercury and selenium concentrations above levels seen in pre- and post-downing birds and higher than observed concentration that impact bird species, providing a potential ultimate cause of death during snowstorms that accompany most downings. Stable isotope analysis indicated northern shovelers that winter on the GSL had breeding origins throughout the specie’s range, but most came from local or southern Prairie Pothole Region breeding populations.
title: Computer Self-Efficacy, Cognitive Actions, and Metacognitive Strategies of High School Students While Engaged in Interactive Learning Modules
Creators: name: Santoso, Harry Budi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate high school students’ computer self-efficacy, cognitive actions, and metacognitive strategies in a self-regulated learning (SRL) framework while utilizing an interactive learning module. The researcher hypothesized that computer self-efficacy is correlated positively with cognitive actions and metacognitive strategies while the students are engaged with interactive learning modules. This research used a mixed-methods approach to answer the research questions. Two research questions guided this research: (1) How is students’ computer self-efficacy related to cognitive actions and metacognitive strategies while using interactive learning modules?; and (2) How do students plan monitor their cognitive actions, and regulate their monitoring strategies during learning with interactive learning modules?This study utilized self-regulated learning framework that covered self-efficacy, cognitive, and metacognitive components. While self-efficacy was represented by computer self-efficacy, the metacognitive component was represented by planning, monitoring, and regulating strategies. Cognitive actions represent contextual activities while using interactive learning modules.
One hundred and thirteen students from two high schools in Northern Utah, USA(i.e., InTech Collegiate High School and Logan High School) participated in this study. Each student worked on three modules: Boolean Logic, Minimum Spanning Tree, and Modeling Using Graphs. Due to the differences in class schedules between both schools, students at InTech Collegiate High School and Logan High School completed the activities within 2 and 4 days, respectively. Three different forms of data were gathered for analysis. These data included questionnaires, screen captured videos, and audio recordings of the interviews. The students completed three questionnaires: demographic, computer self-efficacy, and self-regulated computer-based learning questionnaires.The findings of the study revealed that while computer self-efficacy was not positively correlated with cognitive actions, it was positively correlated with metacognitive strategies. Specifically, the findings revealed a significant positive correlation between computer self-efficacy and planning strategies. Screen-captured video analyses showed that there were different profiles of cognitive actions and metacognitive strategies between high and low computer self-efficacy groups. The findings were confirmed by issues from interview analyses between the groups.

title: Unified Model of Charge Transport in Insulating Polymeric Materials
Creators: name: Sim, Alec
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Charge transport, charging, and subsequent electrostatic discharge due to interactions with the space environment are primary concerns of spacecraft designers. Developing a physical understanding of the interactions of charge with the multitude of materials that spacecraft are composed of is a critical step in understanding and mitigating both short-term and long-term spacecraft degradation. In particular, the study of charge transport in highly insulating materials is critical as they store charge longer, with higher capacity, and with greater destructive capability than other materials.The Utah State University Materials Physics Group, with the funding of the NASA James Webb Space Telescope project and Rocky Mountain Space Consortium, have developed a complete and consistent theoretical model that predicts short-term and long-term storage capabilities based on physical material parameters. This model is applicable across a wide range of experimental systems designed to test specific behaviors that characterize charging phenomena.Modeling and understanding the complex relationships between the spacecraft and its surroundings are fundamentally based on detailed knowledge of how individual materials store and transport charge. The ability to better understand these effects will help make exploring the edges of the universe more stable, reliable, and economic.

description: We present an atlas of Spitzer/IRS high resolution (R~600) 10-37um spectra for 24 well known starburst galaxies. The spectra are dominated by fine-structure lines, molecular hydrogen lines, and emission bands of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Six out of the eight objects with a known AGN component show emission of the high excitation [NeV] line. This line is also seen in one other object (NGC4194) with, a priori, no known AGN component. In addition to strong polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission features in this wavelength range (11.3, 12.7, 16.4um), the spectra reveal other weak hydrocarbon features at 10.6, 13.5, 14.2um, and a previously unreported emission feature at 10.75um. An unidentified absorption feature at 13.7um is detected in many of the starbursts. We use the fine-structure lines to derive the abundance of neon and sulfur for 14 objects where the HI 7-6 line is detected. We further use the molecular hydrogen lines to sample the properties of the warm molecular gas. Several basic diagrams characterizing the properties of the sample are also shown. We have combined the spectra of all the pure starburst objects to create a high S/N template, which is available to the community.

Creators: name: Skyles, Emilee M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: The Golo River in Corsica, France, is a short, steep river (~95 km, 2706 m relief) in the Western Mediterranean with formerly glaciated headwaters. The small size and location of the Golo River make this system ideal for observing the influence of climate and sea-level change on river dynamics over the 100,000 years. A rapidly advancing dating technique, optically stimulated luminescence, was utilized to determine the timing of these river deposits on the coastal plain in order to frame them in the context of previous glacial and interglacial episodes. Climate fluctuations in the headwaters supplied the vast majority of sediment into the system during glacial time periods, which was then transported and deposited near the mouth of the Golo River on the coastal Marana Plain. Sea- level also played a vital role in defining a geometric configuration that ultimately governed whether large amounts of sediment stored onshore or offshore. Analysis of the Golo River longitudinal profile and watershed reveals changes in steepness and gradient that are related to changes in rock type, fault movement and tectonically-driven base-level fall.

description: We present a novel computational methodology for solving the scalar nonlinear Helmholtz equation (NLH) that governs the propagation of laser light in Kerr dielectrics. The methodology addresses two well-known challenges in nonlinear optics: Singular behavior of solutions when the scattering in the medium is assumed predominantly forward (paraxial regime), and the presence of discontinuities in the % linear and nonlinear optical properties of the medium. Specifically, we consider a slab of nonlinear material which may be grated in the direction of propagation and which is immersed in a linear medium as a whole. The key components of the methodology are a semi-compact high-order finite-difference scheme that maintains accuracy across the discontinuities and enables sub-wavelength resolution on large domains at a tolerable cost, a nonlocal two-way artificial boundary condition (ABC) that simultaneously facilitates the reflectionless propagation of the outgoing waves and forward propagation of the given incoming waves, and a nonlinear solver based on Newton's method. The proposed methodology combines and substantially extends the capabilities of our previous techniques built for 1Dand for multi-D. It facilitates a direct numerical study of nonparaxial propagation and goes well beyond the approaches in the literature based on the "augmented" paraxial models. In particular, it provides the first ever evidence that the singularity of the solution indeed disappears in the scalar NLH model that includes the nonparaxial effects. It also enables simulation of the wavelength-width spatial solitons, as well as of the counter-propagating solitons.

Year: 2021

description: Naawa is a Tibeto-Burman language with Bodish language features that is spoken in five villages in the north-eastern Sankhuwasabha district of Nepal and two villages in the Shigatse region of southern China. While the Naawa people have long perceived themselves as culturally and linguistically distinct from other regionally dominant groups, such as, Lhomi and Tibetan, it was not officially recognized by the Nepali government as a distinct language group until 2020 at the recommendation of the national language commission (Khabarhub 2020). At this time, Naawa has no descriptive grammar and only brief accounts of the language community are available. Increased transportation, expanding internationalization, changing demographics, and other forces of globalization are contributing to Naawa migration outside of their natal villages. While the language vitality of Naawa is considered vigorous according to both Eberhard, Simons & Fenning (2021) and Hammarström et al. (2020), their small population makes them particularly vulnerable to becoming an endangered language in the globalizing world. Therefore, language documentation and description of the Naawa language will be a valuable asset to the ongoing vitality of the language for years to come.

description: Hier, c’étaient les Colombies, aujourd’hui, le Kadhafi. Le toponyme et l’anthroponyme ne sont pas anodins. Ils témoignent des activités des personnes : le trafic et la consommation de drogue. Le nombre actuel des quartiers Colombies en Côte d’Ivoire est à mettre en rapport avec l’ampleur du phénomène. À cette « innovation cannabis », intervenue en relais aux économies du miracle ivoirien, vient s’ajouter une autre : le Kadhafi. La jeunesse, en proie à une profonde désespérance, tente d’opposer à une vie devenue cauchemardesque, des paradis artificiels. Il s’agit, ici, d’analyser dans une approche à la fois diachronique et synchronique, le contexte d’émergence de ce fléau. Ce travail s’articule autour de trois principaux axes. Il définit dans un premier temps les concepts de Colombies, de Kadhafi, de paradis et de zombies ; ensuite examine les raisons à l’origine de la consommation de drogue chez les jeunes ; et enfin explore des perspectives de solutions.

description: This work deals with the numerical solution of the Vlasov equation. This equation gives a kinetic description of the evolution of a plasma, and is coupled with Poisson's equation for the computation of the self-consistent electric field. The coupled model is non linear. A new semi-Lagrangian method, based on forward integration of the characteristics, is developed. The distribution function is updated on an eulerian grid, and the pseudo-particles located on the mesh's nodes follow the characteristics of the equation forward for one time step, and are deposited on the 16 nearest nodes. This is an explicit way of solving the Vlasov equation on a grid of the phase space, which makes it easier to develop high order time schemes than the backward method.

title: Using Video Modeling Delivered Through an iPod Touch to Teach Purchasing Skills to Students With Severe Cognitive Disabilities
Creators: name: Stone, Sarah M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Video modeling is a recent buzzword in the vocabulary of special educators and other professionals who work with individuals with disabilities. This type of modeling has proven effective in many studies specifically for individuals with autism. Recent studies show the effectiveness of acquiring skills through observing a video recording of a model (themselves or another person) performing the skill correctly. The technique used in this study is video modeling with another individual as the model (VMO). The researchers looked at the acquisition of purchasing skills based on viewing the video model in the grocery store. The VMO was presented using an Apple iPod Touch where the student could easily access the video and use headphones to hear the VMO while shopping in the grocery store.This research involved three high school-aged participants with significant cognitive disabilities who displayed a need for purchasing skills within the grocery store. They were taught seven steps through the VMO in the grocery store. The skills were: (a) select shortest checkout lane, (b) put divider down and place items from the cart on the belt, (c) greet cashier, (d) pay cashier appropriate bill or combination of bills, (e) wait and take change and receipt from cashier, (f) thank cashier, and (g) take bag and carry belongings to the exit. In order to check for generalization of the skill, the participant was taken to different local grocery stores not involved in initial teaching once they acquired mastery at the original grocery store.Results indicated VMO increased responding for all three participants from the beginning of the study for purchasing groceries. All participants generalized the purchasing skills in other grocery stores; however, each participant required additional instruction via VMO or other prompting throughout the study.The results illustrate for educators and researchers that VMO represents a practical method for increasing skills in community settings. This also illustrates the need for VMO to be paired with additional instruction and should not be used as the only mode to teach a skill.
K-user Interference Channels: Achievable Secrecy Rate and Degrees of Freedom

description: In this work, we consider achievable secrecy rates for symmetric $K$-user ($K \ge 3$) interference channels with confidential messages. We find that nested lattice codes and layered coding are useful in providing secrecy for these channels. Achievable secrecy rates are derived for very strong interference. In addition, we derive the secure degrees of freedom for a range of channel parameters. As a by-product of our approach, we also demonstrate that nested lattice codes are useful for K-user symmetric interference channels without secrecy constraints in that they yield higher degrees of freedom than previous results.

description: A new accounting tool, called the Transportation Satellite Accounts (TSA), now provides a way to measure both in-house and for-hire transportation services. The TSA, developed jointly by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the Department of Transportation and the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the Department of Commerce, is statistically and conceptually consistent with the national accounts used to calculate gross domestic product (GDP), the measure of net output of goods and services in the U.S. economy. This article gives the key findings based on using the new transportation satellite accounts tool, based on the 5-year Economic Census; 1992 is the most recent year for which complete data are available. The key findings are the following: Transportation services contributed about $313 billion, or 5 percent of the value generated by the U.S. economy in 1992. Trucking accounts for 65 percent of the total value-added by transportation services. Transportation will continue to play a key role in the economy, even as the economy shifts from a manufacturing focus to a focus on services. Transportation may have a greater influence on the competitiveness of U.S. products in international markets than previously thought, and the economic benefits of transportation infrastructure investments are larger than estimates based on for-hire transportation data alone. Although the TSA demonstrates that transportation services command a much larger role in the economy than previously understood, the picture is still incomplete.
Longjia (China) - Language Contexts

description: Longjia 龙家 is a probably extinct Sino-Tibetan language related to Lu(ren) 卢人 and Caijia 蔡家. Caijia is still spoken but the speakers of Longjia and Luren have undergone language shift to Southwestern Mandarin (xinan guanhua 西南官话). The classification of the three languages within Sino-Tibetan is still unresolved. The self-designation of the Longjia is suŋ55ȵi55mpau31. Some consider themselves ‘Nanjing people’ (南京人) that are said to have been assimilated by the Longjia during Ming dynasty. Most of the Longjia, now classified as Bai minority, are located in Bijie and Anshun in western Guizhou. The language has no written form. The available materials are by and large restricted to data recorded during the 1980s from the variety of Longjia spoken in Pojiao 坡脚 (Dafang, Bijie) with very few materials being available from Huaxi 花溪 (Qianxi, Bijie), Jiangyi 讲义 (Puding, Anshun), and Caiguan 蔡官 (Xixiu, Anshun).

title: Understanding Successful Japanese Language Programs: Utah Case Study
Creators: name: Stout, Timothy G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Recent world events have caused Americans to reassess national political, economic, and educational priorities, resulting in a shift towards Asia. The schools in response have begun to introduce less commonly taught languages, such as Japanese and Chinese. Many Utah public schools have tried to implement less commonly taught language programs. Some have succeeded, and other others have not. The purpose of this study was to understand how and why some schools were able to successfully integrate less commonly taught language programs, and why others were not.The results of this study suggest that the factors relating to students’ interests and the teacher/administrator relationship were the most important positive factors affecting the success of the Japanese programs with staying power. It was also found that the factors relating to funding issues and student enrollment were the most important negative factors affecting the failure of the long-term Japanese programs that were eliminated.
A’ingae (Ecuador and Colombia) - Language Snapshot
Creators: name: Dabkowski, Maksymilian
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2021

description: A’ingae (or Cofán) is a severely under-documented language isolate spoken by about 1,500 Cofán people in the Ecuadorian and Colombian Amazon. The origin of the Cofán can be traced to the Eastern Andean Cordilleras, where they ranged over a large territory. A’ingae reflects the history of the Cofán migration, showing a mixture of typical Andean and Amazonian features (AnderBois et al. 2019). The language is relatively vital in Ecuador and severely endangered in Colombia. Illegal mining operations and poaching have exerted ecological and economic pressures on the Cofán, putting their way of life in danger. There is little support for the language outside of traditional communities. Despite the challenges, language attitudes surrounding A’ingae are uniformly positive. The A’ingae language is the cornerstone of the Cofán ethnic identity (Cepek 2012).
