title: Childhood Experiences in Mormon Polygamous Families at the Turn of the Century
Creators: name: Willey, Dorothy Geneve Young
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: The primary purpose of this research was to gain insight into what childhood was like in turn-of-the-century Mormon polygamous families. This purpose was executed through two main avenues: basic empirical data and descriptive accounts. This type of research was crucial inasmuch as previous research and commentaries dealt with adult relations but little was known about children in this complex Mormon family structure.
In order to gain an understanding of childhood in Mormon polygamous families during this era, forty elderly individuals who were reared in plural marriages were interviewed in depth. A field type design was employed using a historical-cultural; in short, retrospective history taking. Questions focused on the general family life style, respondent-sibling interaction, respondent-parent interaction, and respondent-father's other families interaction. Children in Mormon polygamous families encountered the events of Western rural America, as would any children at the turn-of-the-century, including hard physical work, large families, home based entertainment, and traditional values. Looking back in time, respondents in this study saw their families as supportive, nurturant, and for the most part as "normal" within the cultural context of Mormon community. Stress, however, was manifest primarily in the avenues of degree of contact with their father's other families, the complexity of multiple households, and the self-imposed questions that generally existed in the society during a time of persecution as well as internal change of the Mormon church.
Physics of $π$-Meson Condensation and High Temperature Cuprate Superconductors

description: The idea of condensation of the Goldstone $π$-meson field in nuclear matter had been put forward a long time ago. However, it was established that the normal nuclear density is too low, it is not sufficient to condensate $π$-mesons. This is why the $π$-condensation has never been observed. Recent experimental and theoretical studies of high temperature cuprate superconductors have revealed condensation of Goldstone magnons, the effect fully analogous to the $π$-condensation. The magnon condensation has been observed. It is clear now that quantum fluctuations play a crucial role in the condensation, in particular they drive a quantum phase transition that destroys the condensate at some density of fermions.
The possible connection between certain universal symmetry operations and baryon and lepton conservation.
Creators: name: Robertson, Dale Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The aim of this work is to propose a possible explanation of certain conservation laws which hold in the reactions among elementary particles. The laws in question are those of conservation of baryon number and conservation of lepton numbers. These are additive quantum numbers which take the values +1, -1, or 0, for single particles. At the present time, these laws must be considered as empirical conservation laws, whose origin is not known. Certain universal symmetry operations must be represented by anti-unitary operators whose square is -1. The existence of such an operator leads to a super-selection rule. The Hilbert space is decomposed into two orthogonal subspaces, with no observables having matrix elements connecting the two subspaces. In the presence of a super-selection rule, an operator can be constructed, which is an observable whose eigenvalues are conserved, and whose eigenvalues have the properties of an additive quantum number. One has one such operator for the baryons, and two for the leptons. A consistent classification of the elementary particles is worked out, which allows the conservation laws to be explained as a result of super-selection rules, provided that the masses of the particles have suitable transformation properties.
title: Goals and Locus of Control of Female Delinquent and Non-Delinquent Juveniles
Creators: name: Bates, Geraldine
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: A comparison of perception of locus of control and identification of goals between delinquent and non-delinquent juvenile females was conducted.
The delinquent sample consisted of 20 female students at the Idaho State Youth Training Center. The non-delinquent sample consisted of 20 female students from two Idaho Public Secondary schools. The non-delinquent subjects were paired with the delinquent subjects as closely as possible according to age, religion, education, size and composition of family, and size of home town.
The instruments used were: (l) a background questionnaire, (2) a goal identification questionnaire, and (3) Rotter's I-E scale.
The difference between the mean I-E score of the delinquent subjects and the non-delinquent subjects was not significant. The non delinquent subjects identified significantly more goals, both long-term and short-term, than the delinquent subjects, Both samples identified goals in all five categories, but the non-delinquent subjects identified significantly more goals in the paid employment, individually oriented, and interpersonally oriented categories. The inverse correlation between the number of goals identified and the subjects' I-E score was not significant.
title: Children's Perceptions of the Nurse
Creators: name: Coulter, Nancy Adams
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: The purpose of this study is to assess children's perceptions of the nurse as they are related to children's age, the amount of contact children have had with nurses and children's sex.
An oral picture test, consisting of 10 photographs, was administered to 45 children in the Edith Bowen Elementary School at Utah State University. The children were interviewed about their perceptions of the nurses in each photograph and their responses were rated as being positive, negative or neutral.
The findings of this study indicate that although significant differences exist in children's perceptions of the nurse in terms of positive, negative and neutral responses, these differences are not due to the effects of the age of the children, the amount of contact they have had with nurses or the sex of the children.
The conclusions are that children's perceptions of the nurse are affected by a variable which was not tested in the present study and that children seem to reveal the more positive aspects of their feelings about nurses. The author suggests that children's negative feelings about nurses are too powerful to be verbalized and have been internalized by the children due to the influence of social pressure to conform.
Isotopic investigation of conformable lead deposits.
Creators: name: Ostic, Ronald George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the isotopic composition of primary leads. The leads analysed were selected by R. L. Stanton in accordance with his geologic description for conformable deposits. It was anticipated that, of all available terrestrial leads, these were the least likely to have been modified isotopically by crustal processes. Detailed analyses and interpretations for fifty-six samples from nine different districts in Eastern Australia, Tasmania, Canada and New Zealand are presented. A precision of better than ±.05 per cent in the measurement of the Pb²⁰⁶/Pb²⁰⁴, Pb²⁰⁷/Pb²⁰⁴ and Pb²⁰⁸/Pb²⁰⁴ ratios was achieved for all samples by means of an intercomparison technique derived from that used by P. Kollar and R. D. Russell, and improved methods for reducing the data. As expected, the geologic criteria used by Stanton to identify conformable deposits have been found to be sufficient to identify deposits which are very uniform in isotopic composition. The findings of this research indicate that the criteria, although remarkably good, are not completely adequate for identifying primary leads. In particular, leads from two conformable deposits (Manitouwadge and Rosebery) were found to be anomalous, and those from two other deposits (Hall's Peak and Bathurst) may be anomalous. The single-stage lead model was found to be a very good approximation for isotopic development of the leads from the remainder of the conformable deposits studied by the writer, as well as for leads analysed by other workers at the University of British Columbia and assumed to be primary. These results suggest that primary leads have formed in a region for which there are very narrow limits of ±.6% and ± .8% to the variations in U²³⁸/Pb²⁰⁴ and Th/U ratios. They substantiate the hypotheses of Russell and Stanton that: (1) primary leads lie very closely to a unique single-stage growth curve in a plot of the ratios Pb²⁰⁷/Pb²⁰⁴ against Pb²⁰⁶/Pb²⁰⁴, and in a plot of Pb²⁰⁸/Pb²⁰⁴ against Pb²⁰⁶/Pb²⁰⁴; (2) leads away from this growth curve are anomalous. From the fit of the conformable leads to a single-stage growth curve, values of 4.52 ± .03 Gyr. and 4.54 ± .02 Gyr. have been calculated for the age of the earth. With the identification of a unique growth curve for primary leads, severe restrictions are placed on anomalous lead interpretations. These are illustrated in the interpretations of anomalous leads studied by the writer.

title: Consumer Satisfaction in Ownership of Prebuilt Homes
Creators: name: Nish, Myrl Newman
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: This study investigated reasons buyers invest in prebuilt houses, and if the reasons prompting that selection are being satisfied. The study was taken in Box Elder County, Utah, and measured wife and husband satisfaction with their prebuilt home independently.
Objective No. 1 was to determine the reasons why these consumers purchased prebuilt homes. The most frequent reason was price. There was no significant difference between the husbands' and the wives' responses to the reasons for purchasing the houses.
Objective No. 2 was to determine the satisfaction of the owners of prebuilt homes with those homes. In general, the wives were more satisfied in every category than the husbands. Overall satisfaction was higher with both husbands and wives than their satisfaction with any one specific element of the overall project.
title: The Salience of Parent Education for Adolescents: Gender and Gratification Orientations
Creators: name: Miller, Katrina H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: The purpose of this study was to test the relevance of parent education for high school students in terms of interest, concerns, expectations and experiences of the adolescents regarding children. The ability to delay gratification and gender served as independent variables. Weaver's (1977) "Adolescent Interest Survey" was administered to 179 high school students enrolled in three different programs in semi-rural northern Utah. These programs were objectively classified to represent two levels of ability to defer gratification. Regular high school stud ents, male (N=51) and female (N=52) were treated as "deferrers of gratification". Potential dropout students, Males (N=26) and females (N=23) and females enrolled in a young mothers program (N=27) were treated as "nondeffers". Because regular high school students may be "deferrers" only because of family and other pressures, and because there may be governing situational differences which would otherwise render the student in potential dropout programs and young mothers programs, the sample was again divided subjectively on the basis of response to whether or not the subject planned on continuing his education beyond high school. A "future education" group, males (N=48) and females (N=55) and a "non-education" group, males (N= 30) and females (N=46) was devised to compare differences of responses in terms of subjective ability to defer gratification. Three constellations of null hypotheses dealt with significant differences in (1) expressed parenting interests; (2) expectations of child development; and (3) experiences with children. Results yielded interesting paradoxes. (1) Although young mothers are the most interested and most experienced of all the groups, their expectations of child development were the most liberal and unrealistic. (2) Although females are more interested and experienced than males, males have the more reasonable expectations of child development. (3) Although "non-deferrers" of gratification expect to marry and have children at an earlier age than "deferrers", "deferrers' prefer spouses and children as an adult priority, while "non-deferrers" prefer the things that money can buy--a car and a house. The survey indicated that adolescents have relatively little or no interest in "children", and only mild interest in marriage and parenting. More interesting and relevant a r e present and self-referenced topics: money, pursuing a vocation, physical development (weight, height, complexion), clothes (girls) and sports (boys). The future and other-referenced goals of education for parenthood programs are presented as inappropriate for the adolescent who is more concerned with pimples and the present.
title: Attitudes Toward and the Consequences of Infant Oral Pacification
Creators: name: Preece, Faye M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: The purpose of this study was focused in two specific objectives: (1) to determine attitudes of professionals, namely pediatricians, general practitioners, and orthodontists toward the use of the oral pacifier; and (2) to determine the attitudes of primiparous mothers toward the use of the pacifier.
The mothers were chosen from the r1cKay-Dee Hospital in Oqden, Utah. They were divided into three groups: (1) 17 mothers with three-month- old babies, (2) 15 mothers with six-month-old babies, and (3 ) 15 mothers with nine-month-old babies, for a total of 47 mothers.
The professionals were divided into three groups: pediatricians, 10 general practitioners, and 9 orthodontists, for a total of 26 professionals.
An instrument was developed to measure the attitudes toward the use of the oral pacifier, thumbsucking, and the consequences of their use. The instrument was called the Infant Oral Behavior Scale.
The hypotheses for the study were tested and sustained as follows:
1. The pacifier is interpreted as a positive non-nutritive device in child rearing.
2. The pacifier is preferred by physicians and orthodontists to prevent any malocclusion and other oral problems caused by thumbsucking.
3. The pacifier is preferred by mothers in soothing fretful and colicky babies.
The Infant Oral Behavior Scale proved to be a useful instrument as indicated by item analysis of the scale . All but 5 of the 30 items discriminated between the high and low scores.
Thirty-six of the 47 mothers breast fed their infants an average of 11 to 13 weeks. Thirty-two of the 47 mothers bottle fed their infants . Many of the mothers favored both the breast and the bottle in nourishing their infants . Thirty- four of the 47 mothers gave their infants an oral pacifier for an average length of 11 to 28 weeks . Physicians had recommended the use of the oral pacifier to 8 of the 34 mothers who used the pacifier. Of the 34 infants using a pacifier, 10 sucked their thumbs. Twenty-four of the infants did not suck their thumbs after using an oral pacifier. Eleven infants sucked their thumbs who had not been given an oral pacifier. The average length of thumbsucking of these infants was 6 to 32 weeks.
Twenty-one of the 26 professionals personally preferred infants to be breast fed. Two professionals personally preferred the infant to be bottle fed and three professionals believed it was the mother's choice, depending on her personality, age, and other factors. Professionally, 18 professionals preferred breast feeding while 4 preferred infants to be bottle fed . Four believed this was an individual choice of the mothers.

title: Tradition and Household Tasks
Creators: name: Miller, Jennifer Hogge
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate how Utah husbands and wives thought household tasks should viii be allocated and how they actually were allocated in their own homes. The sample was 191 two-parent, two-child families residing in Iron, Washington, and Salt Lake Counties. Urban/rural residence, wife's employment status, educational level of both the husband and wife, family income, religious activity, and the husband's occupation were studied in relation to household task allocation. Eight hypotheses were tested. Husband's religious activity and wife's employment status were found to be related to a traditional pattern of household task allocation. There was a significant difference between wives' religious activity and allocation of household tasks. Wives who were active church members were more traditional in both attitude and behavior than wives who were not active church members

description: From its inception, a large part of the motivation for Cognitive Science has been the need for an interdisciplinary journal for the study of minds and intelligent systems. One threat to the interdisciplinarity of Cognitive Science, both the field and journal, is that it may become, or already be, too dominated by psychologists. In 2005, psychology was a keyword for 51% of submissions, followed distantly by linguistics (17%), artificial intelligence (13%), neuroscience (10%), computer science (9%), and philosophy (8%). The Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) gathers data not only on how individual articles cite one another, but also on macroscopic citation patterns among journals. Journals or sets of journals can be considered as proxies for fields. As fields become established, they often create journals. By studying the patterns of citations among journals that cite and are cited by Cognitive Science, we can better: 1) appreciate the scholarly ecology surrounding the journal and the journals role within this ecology, 2) establish competitor and alternate journals, and 3) determine the natural clustering of fields related to cognitive science.

description: Most studies on emotion processing induce emotions through images or films. However, this method lacks ecological validity, limiting generalization to real-life emotion processing. More realistic paradigms using virtual reality (VR) may be better suited to investigate authentic emotional states and their neuronal correlates. This pre-registered study examines the neuronal underpinnings of naturalistic fear, measured using mobile electroencephalography (EEG). Seventy-five healthy participants walked across a virtual plank which extended from the side of a skyscraper—either 80 storey up (the negative condition) or at street level (the neutral condition). Subjective ratings showed that the negative condition induced feelings of fear. Following the VR experience, participants passively viewed negative and neutral images from the international affective picture system (IAPS) outside of VR. We compared frontal alpha asymmetry between the plank and IAPS task and across valence of the conditions. Asymmetry indices in the plank task revealed greater right-hemispheric lateralization during the negative VR condition, relative to the neutral VR condition and to IAPS viewing. Within the IAPS task, no significant asymmetries were detected. In summary, our findings indicate that immersive technologies such as VR can advance emotion research by providing more ecologically valid ways to induce emotion.
Labour Mobility and Solomon Islands Development

description: Solomon Islanders have a significant history of labour mobility and diaspora. In the 19th century they provided around 18,000 migrant labourers for the Queensland sugar industry (Moore 1990). In the 20th century, this diaspora was diverted and contained within Solomon Islands boundaries — first to plantations, and then largely to the opportunities available in and around the national capital, Honiara. In the 21st century, after a period of crisis induced in part by the effects of this movement, the internal diaspora is again building rapidly. In international (and especially wider Pacific) comparison, however, Solomon Islands is a significant outlier.

description: The ATLAS Barrel Toroid (BT) is a superconducting toroid made of 8 superconducting coils of 25 m length and 5 m width, providing the magnetic field for the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector, one of the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider, under construction at CERN. In addition to the BT the ATLAS magnetic structure forsees two End Cap Toroid (ECT) with the same 8 structure geometry of the BT, and a Central Solenoid (CS).B00 is a small coil built to verify the performances of the different cables used in the ATLAS magnets, while B0 is a full scale model, one third length of ATLAS barrel toroid eight coils. The B0 construction was decided to test the technical construction solutions and reproduce the behaviour of the final coils. To fulfil this aim the coil has been equipped with many sensors, among which the pick-up coil are very important for the study of the quench characteristics. In the frame of this collaboration one of the item of the INFN was to provide some diagnostic sensors, among which about 20 pick-up coil, for the quench propagation studies. In this paper the design and characteristics of the pick-up coil used in the B00 and B0 model coil are described, together with the calibration procedure. Some data measured during the magnet test are reported and discussed.

description: We systematically analyse globally consistent SU(5) GUT models on intersecting D7-branes in genuine Calabi-Yau orientifolds with O3- and O7-planes. Beyond the well-known tadpole and K-theory cancellation conditions there exist a number of additional subtle but quite restrictive constraints. For the realisation of SU(5) GUTs with gauge symmetry breaking via U(1)_Y flux we present two classes of suitable Calabi-Yau manifolds defined via del Pezzo transitions of the elliptically fibred hypersurface P_{1,1,1,6,9}[18] and of the Quintic P_{1,1,1,1,1}[5], respectively. To define an orientifold projection we classify all involutions on del Pezzo surfaces. We work out the model building prospects of these geometries and present five globally consistent string GUT models in detail, including a 3-generation SU(5) model with no exotics whatsoever. We also realise other phenomenological features such as the 10 10 5 Yukawa coupling and comment on the possibility of moduli stabilisation, where we find an entire new set of so-called swiss-cheese type Calabi-Yau manifolds. It is expected that both the general constrained structure and the concrete models lift to F-theory vacua on compact Calabi-Yau fourfolds.

description: A unified energy principle approach is presented for analysing the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability of plasmas consisting of multiple ideal and relaxed regions. By choosing an appropriate gauge, we show that the plasma displacement satisfies the same Euler-Lagrange equation in ideal and relaxed regions, except in the neighbourhood of magnetic surfaces. The difference at singular surfaces is analysed in cylindrical geometry: in ideal MHD only Newcomb's [W. A. Newcomb (2006) Ann. Phys., 10, 232] small solutions are allowed, whereas in relaxed MHD only the odd-parity large solution and even-parity small solution are allowed. A procedure for constructing global multi-region solutions in cylindrical geometry is presented. Focussing on the limit where the two interfaces approach each other arbitrarily closely, it is shown that the singular-limit problem encountered previously [M.J. Hole et al. (2006) J. Plasma Phys., 77, 1167] in multi-region relaxed MHD is stabilised if the relaxed-MHD region between the coalescing interfaces is replaced by an ideal-MHD region. We then present a stable (k, pressure) phase space plot, which allows us to determine the form a stable pressure and field profile must take in the region between the interfaces. From this knowledge, we conclude that there exists a class of single interface plasmas that were found stable by Kaiser and Uecker [R. Kaiser et al (2004) Q. Jl Mech. Appl. Math., 57, 1], but are shown to be unstable when the interface is resolved.
title: Husbands' and Wives' Perceptions of Their In-Law Parents
Creators: name: Watkins, Carlos F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The critical lack of research in the area of in-law relationships leaves interested persons wondering about the nature of such relationships. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how the independent variables of sex, number of children, education and age of the sons or daughters-in-law effected the relationship with the mothers and fathers-in-law. The four directional hypotheses tested were: (1) as the age of the son or daughter-in-law increases, the chances for a more positive relationship with mothers and fathers-in-law and their sons and daughters, increases significantly; (2) females feel significantly closer to their parents-in-law than males; (3) as the number of children in the homes of the sons and daughters-in-law increases, the quality of their relationship increases significantly with their parents-in-law; and (4) the higher the educational level of the sons or daughters-in-law the greater the quality of their relationship with their mother or father in law. A total of 238 persons living in the married student housing responded to the questionnaire. The questions were answered accordi. ng to their current or most recent marriage. The questionnaire asked r espondent s to answer how they f elt towards their parent s -inlaw-- fee lings of closeness towards them; titles used to address them; how troublesome they were perceived to be; the type of help received from them; and how their parents-in-l aw compared to other parents-in-law. The following findings were derived from the data using the chi square test, mean scores and F ratios: 1. Respondents 30 years of age and older felt significantly closer emotionally to their parents-in-law than did those 25-29 years of age . 2. Those 30 years of age and older felt their fathers-in-law were less troublesome than those 25-29. 3. Those 30 years of age and older felt emotionally closer to their mothers-in-l aw than those 25-29. 4. Females did feel emotionally closer to their mothers-in-law than males. They also addressed their fathers-in-law in a more positive and personal manner, but when their mean scores and F ratios were analyzed for the problematic and closeness index there were no significant differences. 5. Those with one child felt significantly closer to their mothers-in-law than those with two or more or no children. 6. Those with a high school or less education felt significantly closer to their mothers-in-law than those with some college. The sample was drawn from a university related population, and from a heavily weighted religious group. Both of which could bias the above finding.

description: We present Suzaku observations of the Galactic black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127 in the low-hard state. The broadband coverage of Suzaku enables us to detect the source over the energy range 0.6 -- 250 keV. The broadband spectrum (2 -- 250 keV) is found to be consistent with a simple power-law (gamma \sim 1.63). In agreement with previous observations of this system, a significant excess of soft X-ray flux is detected consistent with the presence of a cool accretion disc. Estimates of the disc inner radius infer a value consistent with the ISCO (R_{in} \lesssim 6 R_g, for certain values of, e.g. N_H, i), although we cannot conclusively rule out the presence of an accretion disc truncated at larger radii (R_{in} \sim 10 - 50 R_g). A weak, relativistically-broadened iron line is also detected, in addition to disc reflection at higher energy. However, the iron-K line profile favours an inner radius larger than the ISCO (R _{in} \sim 10 - 20 R_g). The implications of these observations for models of the accretion flow in the low-hard state are discussed.

description: The statistical strained-tetrahedron model was developed to overcome two common assumptions of previous models: 1) rigid undistorted ion sublattice of regular tetrahedra throughout all five configurations and 2) random ion distribution. These simplifying assumptions restrict the range of applicability of the models to a narrow subset of ternary alloys for which the constituent binaries have their lattice constants and standard molar enthalpies of formation (Δf H_0) equal or quasi-equal. Beyond these limits predictions of such models become unreliable, in particular, when the ternary exhibits site occupation preferences (SOPs). The strained-tetrahedron model, free from rigidity and stochastic limitations, was first developed to interpret structural information obtained with the use of x-ray absorption experimental data. It was validated on published EXAFS data of both zincblende (ZB) and intermetallide materials. The model was then extended to describe and interpret infrared spectra. The derivation and verification of the validity of our model and its assumptions are detailed in our published papers. We extend the model to cover the interpretation of far IR spectra and successfully apply it to a set of GaAsyP1-y spectra. The unfolding gives the SOP coefficient values and\or specific oscillator strengths (OSs). Comparison with data available in the literature showed the good agreement of our model predictions.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine relationships between several educational variables and adolescents' sexual attitudes and behavior. The sample consisted of high school students who were enrolled in health, family living, and home economics classes in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Pretest and posttest surveys were given to these students to evaluate the effectiveness of a prevention program which addressed teen attitudes and behaviors in the areas of peers, families, and morality . The pretest and posttest surveys contained items that specifically measured family background, school achievement, and sexual attitudes and behaviors. Data collected for these particular items were used in the analyses for this report. It was concluded that parental educational background was positively related to adolescents' educational aspirations and performance, and these educational variables were inversely related to adolescents' premarital sexual attitudes and behaviors.
title: Beetles, Fungi and Trees: A Story for the Ages? Modeling and Projecting the Multipartite Symbiosis Between the Mountain Pine Beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae, and Its Fungal Symbionts, Grosmannia clavigera and Ophiostoma montium

description: As data collection and modeling improve, ecologists increasingly discover that interspecies dynamics greatly affect the success of individual species. Models accounting for the dynamics of multiple species are becoming more important. In this work, we explore the relationship between mountain pine beetle (MPB, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) and two mutualistic fungi, Grosmannia clavigera and Ophiostoma montium. These species are involved in a multipartite symbiosis, critical to the survival of MPB, in which each species benefits. Extensive phenological modeling has been done to determine how temperature affects the timing of life events and cold-weather mortality of MPB. The fungi have also been closely studied to determine how they interact with MPB and how they differ in terms of virulence, response to temperature, and nutritional benefits to developing beetles. Overall, researchers consider G. clavigera to be the superior mutualist. Beetles developing near G. clavigera are larger, produce more brood, and have higher survival rates. Regarding temperature preferences, G. clavigera is considered “cool-loving,” growing at cooler temperatures than O. montium. These findings lead researchers to wonder 1) why has G. clavigera not displaced iv O. montium from the mutualism (if it is the superior mutualist) and 2) what will happen to the MPB-fungus mutualism in the face of a warming climate. In this work we present two models connecting fungal growth in a tree to predictions of MPB emergence: a stochastic, individual-based model and a deterministic, tree-based model. We begin by exploring whether variability in temperature can act as a stabilizing mechanism and find that temperature variability due to MPB periodically transitioning between different thermal environments is the most likely explanation for the continued presence of both fungi in the mutualism. Using the second model, we parameterize and validate the model using attack and emergence observations of MPB and the fungi they are carrying. In the process, we test several submodels to learn more about specific MPB-fungi interactions. Finally, utilizing information from previous fungal growth experiments, we test and parameterize several growth rate curves using Bayesian techniques to determine whether the inclusion of prior knowledge can lead to more realistic fits.

description: Most studies on emotion processing induce emotions through images or films. However, this method lacks ecological validity, limiting generalization to real-life emotion processing. More realistic paradigms using virtual reality (VR) may be better suited to investigate authentic emotional states and their neuronal correlates. This pre-registered study examines the neuronal underpinnings of naturalistic fear, measured using mobile electroencephalography (EEG). Seventy-five healthy participants walked across a virtual plank which extended from the side of a skyscraper—either 80 storey up (the negative condition) or at street level (the neutral condition). Subjective ratings showed that the negative condition induced feelings of fear. Following the VR experience, participants passively viewed negative and neutral images from the international affective picture system (IAPS) outside of VR. We compared frontal alpha asymmetry between the plank and IAPS task and across valence of the conditions. Asymmetry indices in the plank task revealed greater right-hemispheric lateralization during the negative VR condition, relative to the neutral VR condition and to IAPS viewing. Within the IAPS task, no significant asymmetries were detected. In summary, our findings indicate that immersive technologies such as VR can advance emotion research by providing more ecologically valid ways to induce emotion.

description: We observed neutron emissions from pure deuterium gas after it was cooled in liquid nitrogen and placed in a magnetic field. Neutron emissions were observed in ten out of ten test cases. Neutron burst of 5.5counts/s were 1000 times higher than the background counts. These bursts occurred one or two times within a 300 s interval. The total neutron emission can be estimated from the counting efficiency, and it was 104-105 counts/s. The reaction appears to be highly reproducible, reliably generating high neutron emissions. We conclude that the models proposed heretofore based upon d-d reactions are inadequate to explain the present results, which must involve magnetic field nuclear reactions.
Achievable Rate and Optimal Physical Layer Rate Allocation in Interference-Free Wireless Networks

description: We analyze the achievable rate in interference-free wireless networks with physical layer fading channels and orthogonal multiple access. As a starting point, the point-to-point channel is considered. We find the optimal physical and network layer rate trade-off which maximizes the achievable overall rate for both a fixed rate transmission scheme and an improved scheme based on multiple virtual users and superposition coding. These initial results are extended to the network setting, where, based on a cut-set formulation, the achievable rate at each node and its upper bound are derived. We propose a distributed optimization algorithm which allows to jointly determine the maximum achievable rate, the optimal physical layer rates on each network link, and an opportunistic back-pressure-type routing strategy on the network layer. This inherently justifies the layered architecture in existing wireless networks. Finally, we show that the proposed layered optimization approach can achieve almost all of the ergodic network capacity in high SNR.

description: By studying generalized non-signalling theories, the hope is to find out what makes quantum mechanics so special. In the present paper, we revisit the paradigmatic model of non-signalling boxes and introduce the concept of a genuine box. This will allow us to present the first generalized non-signalling model featuring quantum-like dynamics. In particular, we present the coupler, a device enabling non-locality swapping, the analogue of quantum entanglement swapping, as well as teleportation. Remarkably, part of the boundary between quantum and post-quantum correlations emerges in our study.
