Living on the Move: the Digital Nomad Mobile Phenomenon Identity and Practice
Creators: name: Smercina, Virginia Rachele
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description:  The following exploratory project used a qualitative mixed method approach by means of a preliminary blog analysis of thirty-seven blogs and twenty-five semi-structured interviews for data collection on individuals known as digital nomads. The theoretical foundations of this study are centered on practice theory, structuration theory, as well as discussions surrounding cultural identity. The projects aim is to increase our understanding of the digital nomad phenomenon by asking four research questions: Who are the digital nomads? How is digital nomadism practiced? Why choose to live on the move? Is digital nomadism sustainable? The discussion includes how the digital nomad identity is transformed and practiced and how it differs from its popularized media stereotype, how and why individuals are choosing to live and work location independently, and includes a partial determination if this choice is shifting into a new sustainable way of life.
 The project revealed a relationship between individualism, mobility, and loneliness. The data suggests that participants are constantly searching for a sense of belonging, for a community to generate social solidarity. Unfortunately, digital communities alone do not appear sufficient in this task, and constant movement presents a barrier to more meaningful relationships. This results in a need for deeper non-computer-mediated human interaction, and eventually the decision to become semi-nomadic. Additionally, three self-identification categories were used by participants, each with distinguishable meanings, tensions, and uses: location independent, digital nomad, and global citizen. The key element that bonds this group together is the freedom ideology; an ideological sense of occupational and geographical autonomy gained by eschewing their previous sociocultural constraints in favor of others which allow for more individualized control. This desire to govern ones own path is also indicative of late-modernity which presents a climate of general mistrust towards institutional systems, both formal and informal. Findings suggest that the act of living in a fully neo-nomadic manner are indeed economically sustainable, however emotionally less so.
title: Computational Chemistry of Non-Covalent Interaction and its Application in Chemical Catalysis
Creators: name: Nziko, Vincent de Paul Nzuwah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Unconventional non-covalent interactions such as halogen, chalcogen, and tetrel bonds are gaining interest in several domains including but not limited to drug design, as well as novel catalyst design. Non-covalent interactions are known as weak forces of interactions when they are considered on an individual basis, but on a molecular basis, these effects become important such that their prevalence can be seen in the construction of large biomolecules like proteins, DNA and RNA. In this work, the fundamental aspects of these interactions are looked upon using ab initio and Density Functional Theory (DFT). An essential aspect of chalcogen bonds involving Sulfur as donor atom with nitrogen, oxygen and π-system as electron sources was examined. These bonds are strong with binding energy that varies from a minimum of 3 kcal/mol in some π-system to 19 kcal/mol in primary amine systems. Decomposition of the total interaction energy reveals that the induction energy constitutes more than half of the total interaction energy. The shortness and strength of some of the chalcogen bond interactions suggest these interactions may in some cases be described as weak covalent bonds. A comparative study of π-hole tetrel bonding with σ-hole halogen bonds in complexes of XCN (X = F, Cl, Br, I) and ammonia shows that the π-hole geometry if favored for X = F, and the σ-hole structure is preferred for the heavier halogens. Also, the potential use of these non-covalent interactions in organic catalysis was explored. The energy barrier of the Aza-Diels-Alder reaction is substantially lowered by the introduction of an imidazolium catalyst with either a Hydrogen or halogen (X) atom in the 2-position.
Ambient Temperature Dependence of Air-cooled Condenser Performance and Parameters
Creators: name: Smith, Alexander Darr
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description:  Thermoelectric power generation uses 38% of total fresh water withdrawals and majority of that water is used during steam condensation. Air-cooled condensers are an alternative to water-cooled condensers for power generation. Ambient air temperature affects the performance of air-cooled condensers. A small air-cooled condenser was run under the ambient air temperature extremes of Las Vegas in order to examine the system performance and air-side heat transfer parameters. Three different sets of tubes with different surface areas and geometries were studied. The condenser is equipped with several air velocity sensors, thermocouples and thermistors to measure the conditions to develop the air-side heat transfer parameters and to measure the system performance. The ambient air temperature changes due to seasonal changes affects the condensate temperature. Fin spacing on the tube banks affects the air flow through the tubes, changing the heat transfer coefficient location depending on the ambient air temperature. The air-side convective heat transfer is greater in conditions with higher ambient air temperature despite the higher condensate temperature. The Euler number through the tube banks is not affected by the ambient air temperature when certain criteria is met under the implemented operating conditions. The energy coefficient is greater in the summer with sufficient surface area but does not equate to lower condensate temperatures

description: Conventional wisdom posits that past military service gives candidates an advantage when running for elected office, but evidence from observational data is mixed. Using both a matching design and a Regression Discontinuity design, I show that Democratic veterans, but not Republicans, enjoy an advantage when running for the U.S. House of Representatives. This advantage comes mainly from increased appeal to independent voters and some cross-party support from Republicans. There is some evidence that voters who oppose defense cuts are more favorable to Democratic veterans. I also show that Representatives who are veterans tend to be more ideologically moderate, suggesting that Democratic veterans’ success may come from a perceived moderation, allowing them to appeal to a broader electorate.

James Merrill: A Postmodern Poet? Yes & No
Creators: name: Mariani, Andrea
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 1993

description: James Merrill's poetry can be read as the result of an extremely complex technique which accepts duplicity as a poetic motif and welcomes ambiguity and paradox while it expresses an original, distinctly postmodern vision of the world. In Merril's poetic universe art and science, autobiographical and social issues find their place as in a monumental, self-ironical, parodic puzzle. The space/time paradigm in Merrill's trilogy The Changing Light at Sandover is analyzed in order to illustrate the poet's progress towards a critical awareness and acceptance of his position within American postmodernism. A close reading of Merril's previously unpublished "Volcanic Holiday" concludes the essay.

An exploratory study of links between ADHD and a chromosomal mutation in a single family
Creators: name: Langbein, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this paper is to review evidence of genetic factors in the aetiology of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The review examines our current understanding of ADHD, including behavioural criteria, development, and cognition. It is concluded that there are a number of limitations in our current understanding of ADHD, stemming from high levels of co-morbidity, qualitative differences among subtypes, variable research methodology and a heavy reliance on a top down approach to research. The research literature contains a large amount of variation in measurement associated with defining ADHD as a behavioural phenotype, hampering genetic research. It is concluded that there is strong evidence supporting a genetic component to ADHD. Family, twin and molecular studies suggest ADHD may be part of some continuum, with a number of disorders having common genetic vulnerability, and that many genes interacting with environmental variables may be involved. It is suggested that future research should be longitudinal and family based in order to link behavioural, cognitive and genetic characteristics of ADHD as they emerge across the lifespan, and thereby inform our understanding of ADHD on a number of levels.
title: Absorption, Translocation and Metabolism of 1,3-Dichloropropene in Selected Plants
Creators: name: Berry, David L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The absorption, translocation and metabolism of 1,3-dichloropropene (a soil fumigant) in bush beans, tomato and carrot was studied under growth chamber and greenhouse conditions using solution culture, vermiculite and sand. Absorption was monitored using gas chromatographic analysis and isotope techniques. Plants were shown to absorb a maximum amount of dichloropropene by 24 to 48 hr from solution culture and vermiculite. The plant absorbed and translocated 1,3-dichlorpropene-14C-U readily to aerial parts of the plant.
Bush beans, tomatoes and carrots absorbed and translocated 3-chlorallyl alcohol-14C-U from solution culture and vermiculite. Levels of 3-chloroallyl alcohol reached maximum at 24 to 48 hr after inoculation The gas chromatographic analysis of plant materials showed that 1,3-dichloropropene and 3-chloroallyl alcohol were rapidly metabolized by the plant. The three plants metabolize 1,3-dichloropropene to 3-chloroallyl alcohol, part of which is converted to 3-choroacrylic acid and 3-chloro-1-propanol. The metabolite identities were convirmed by co-chromatography with standard compounds and by mass spectral analysis. The sequence from this point (3-chloroacrylic of 3-chloro-1-propanol) is not known but coupled with the evidence from metabolite studies, it is apparent that a central metabolite (acetate pathway is indicated) has to be an intermediate in dichloropropene metabolism as label is located in glucose, TCA acids, amino acids, lipids and other normal plant products.
The dichloropropenes are rapidly absorbed, translocated and metabolized by the plant. No parent dichloropropene was found in the plant after 72 hr incubation period and 3-chloroallyl alcohol was not detected after 96 hr in the plant. The data indicates that the dichloropropenes and 3-chloroallyl alcohols are not potential residue problems and that environmental concern about the ultimate fate of these compounds should be minimal.
Interaction of clumpy dark matter with interstellar medium in astrophysical systems

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Contemporary cosmological conceptions suggest that the dark matter in haloes of galaxies and galaxy clusters has most likely a clumpy structure. If a stream of gas penetrates through it, a small-scale gravitational field created by the clumps disturbs the flow resulting in momentum exchange between the stream and the dark matter. In this article, we perform an analysis of this effect, based on the hierarchial halo model of the dark matter structure and Navarro-Frenk-White density profiles. We consider the clumps of various masses, from the smallest up to the highest ones $M\ge 10^{9} M_\odot$. It has been found that in any event the effect grows with the mass of the clump: not only the drag force $\mathfrak F$ acting on the clump, but also its acceleration $w=\mathfrak F/M$ increases. We discuss various astrophysical systems. The mechanism proved to be ineffective in the case of galaxy or galaxy cluster collisions. On the other hand, it played an important role during the process of galaxy formation. As a result, the dark matter should have formed a more compact, oblate, and faster rotating substructure in the halo of our Galaxy. We have shown that this thick disk should be more clumpy than the halo. This fact is very important for the indirect detection experiments since it is the clumps that give the main contribution to the annihilation signal. Our calculations show that the mechanism of momentum exchange between the dark and baryon matter is ineffective on the outskirts of the galactic halo. It means that the clumps from there were not transported to the thick disk, and this regions should be more clumpy than the halo on the average.

Characteristic cohomology II: Matrix singularities
Creators: name: Damon, James
Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2024

description: For a germ of a variety , a singularity of “type”  is given by a germ , which is transverse to in an appropriate sense, such that . In part I of this paper, we introduced for such singularities the Characteristic Cohomology for the Milnor fiber (for a hypersurface), and complement and link (for the general case). It captures the cohomology of inherited from and is given by subalgebras of the cohomology for for the Milnor fiber and complements, and is a subgroup for the cohomology of the link. We showed these cohomologies are functorial and invariant under diffeomorphism groups of equivalences for Milnor fibers and for complements and links. We also gave geometric criteria for detecting the nonvanishing of the characteristic cohomology. In this paper, we apply these methods in the case denotes any of the varieties of singular complex matrices, which may be either general, symmetric, or skew‐symmetric (with even). For these varieties, we have shown in another paper that their Milnor fibers and complements have compact “model submanifolds”  for their homotopy types, which are classical symmetric spaces in the sense of Cartan. As a result, we first give the structure of the characteristic cohomology subalgebras for the Milnor fibers and complements as images of exterior algebras (or in one case a module on two generators over an exterior algebra). For links, the characteristic cohomology group is the image of a shifted upper truncated exterior algebra. In addition, we extend these results for the complement and link to the case of general complex matrices. Second, we then apply the geometric detection methods introduced in Part I to detect when specific characteristic cohomology classes for the Milnor fiber or complement are nonzero. We identify an exterior subalgebra on a specific set of generators and for the link that it contains an appropriate shifted upper truncated exterior subalgebra. The detection criterion involves a special type of “kite map germ of size ” based on a given flag of subspaces. The general criterion that detects such nonvanishing characteristic cohomology is then given in terms of the defining germ containing such a kite map germ of size . Furthermore, we use a restricted form of kite spaces to give a cohomological relation between the cohomology of local links and the global link for the varieties of singular matrices.
title: Examination of Exhumed Faults in the Western San Bernardino Mountains, California: Implications for Fault Growth and Earthquake Rupture
Creators: name: Jacobs, Joseph R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2005

description: The late Miocene Cedar Springs fault system is a high-angle transpressional system in the Silverwood Lake area, western San Bernardino Mountains, southern California. This thesis presents the study of oblique-slip faults with modest amounts of slip, which represent the early stages of fault development by using slip as a proxy for maturity. A structural and geochemical characterization is provided for six fault zones ranging from 39 m of slip to 3.5 km of offset in order to develop a model of fault zone geometry and composition. Basic geometric and kinematic results are provided for an additional 29 small-displacement (cm- to m-scale) faults. The main faults of this study can be divided into the fault core composed of sheared clay gouge and micro breccia, the primary damage zone made up of chemically altered rock with microstructural damage and grain-size reduction, and the secondary damage zone, which is characterized by an increased fracture density relative to the host rock. Although there appears to be a general increase in fault core thickness with increasing slip, the correlation is insignificant when analyzing all faults. Both the primary and secondary damage zones appear to thicken with increased slip on the main fault.
Overall, the structure and composition of the faults studied here are similar to those of larger strike-slip and reverse faults. This indicates that the fault core develops early in a fault's history. Subsequent slip appears to be focused along these narrow zones, with some deformation accumulating in the damage zone. Whole-rock geochemical analyses typically show a reduction in the abundance of Na, Al, K, and Ca in the fault core and primary damage zone relative to the host rock. This indicates enhanced fluid-rock interactions in these zones. Calculations of the energy consumed to produce the chemical alteration in the fault core indicate that a considerable amount of the total earthquake energy may be lost to alteration. This thesis concludes that fault processes are similar throughout the different stages of development, and the study of relatively small-displacement faults can therefore be used to understand fault evolution through time and the processes of larger faults in the brittle crust.

This paper exposes such articulations, trying to determine in what way the same rhetoric of monetary symbolization is used (and misused) in C. S. Peirce, J. Royce and other philosophers, in order to define mutually incompatible theories of knowledge and interpretation.

description: We investigate the phase behaviour of a system of particles interacting through the exp-6 pair potential, a model interaction that is appropriate to describe effective interatomic forces under high compression. The soft-repulsive component of the potential is being varied so as to study the effect on reentrant melting and density anomaly. Upon increasing the repulsion softness, we find that the anomalous melting features persist and occur at smaller pressures. Moreover, if we reduce the range of downward concavity in the potential by extending the hard core at the expenses of the soft-repulsive shoulder, the reentrant part of the melting line reduces in extent so as it does the region of density anomaly.

The American Frontier and the Initiation Rite to a National Literature

description: Since its beginning, much American writing has been based on a rhetoric of migration. For the novelists of the New Republic, internal migration of the westward movement had already become a national archetype from which many American myths were to spring. A case in point is C. Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly where the frontier environment becomes the projection of a condition of the human mind. The uncertainty of the frontier, and its parallel metaphor of sleep-walking, come to prefigure the gnoseological and philosophical turmoil of Post-Revolutionary Americans. In Brown's gothic novel, the American wilderness and its native inhabitants generate horror, and evil takes on an ontological rather than historical dimension.

More concretely, we discuss the number of different symmetries which can exist at the point with nonzero curvature.

description: We consider two-component one-dimensional quantum gases with density imbalance. While generically such fluids are two-component Luttinger liquids, we show that if the ratio of the densities is a rational number, p/q, and mass asymmetry between components is sufficiently strong, one of the two eigenmodes acquires a gap. The gapped phase corresponds to (algebraic) ordering of (p+q)-particle composites. In particular, for attractive mixtures, this implies that the superconducting correlations are destroyed. We illustrate our predictions by numerical simulations of the fermionic Hubbard model with hopping asymmetry.

description: We select 456 galaxies with kinematically misaligned gas and stellar components from 9546 parent galaxies in MaNGA, and classify them into 72 star-forming galaxies, 142 green-valley galaxies and 242 quiescent galaxies. Comparing the spatial resolved properties of the misaligned galaxies with control samples closely match in the D$_n$4000 and stellar velocity dispersion, we find that: (1) the misaligned galaxies have lower values in $V_{\rm gas}/σ_{\rm gas}$ and $V_{\rm star}/σ_{\rm star}$ (the ratio between ordered to random motion of gas and stellar components) across the entire galaxies than their control samples; (2) the star-forming and green-valley misaligned galaxies have enhanced central concentrated star formation than their control galaxies. The difference in stellar population between quiescent misaligned galaxies and control samples is small; (3) gas-phase metallicity of the green valley and quiescent misaligned galaxies are lower than the control samples. For the star forming misaligned galaxies, the difference in metallicity between the misaligned galaxies and their control samples strongly depends on how we select the control samples. All these observational results suggest external gas accretion influences the evolution of star forming and green valley galaxies, not only in kinematics/morphologies, but also in stellar populations. However, the quiescent misaligned galaxies have survived from different formation mechanisms.

description: Esta dissertação tem como foco os processos de formação desenvolvidos pelo movimento feminista brasileiro a partir de meados da década de 1970. Aborda as influências de origem, características, temas e manifestações junto aos diferentes públicos: o próprio movimento de mulheres, outros atores da sociedade civil e agentes do Estado. Resgata o debate internacional ligado ao campo do gender training, presente na Europa e nos Estados Unidos, que visa à incorporação da perspectiva da equidade de gênero nas instituições públicas e agências de desenvolvimento. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio de depoimentos de integrantes do movimento feminista brasileiro que realizam e/ou organizam processos formativos e da experiência da pesquisadora no campo da formação. As perguntas que mobilizam o trabalho são: quais os significados e os objetivos da formação feminista para as feministas brasileiras? Como o movimento feminista brasileiro desenvolve seus processos de formação? Quais as características dessa formação? Quais os avanços, as possibilidades, as dificuldades desses processos a serem enfrentados para a sua maior efetividade? Com o que eles vêm contribuindo para o desenvolvimento de culturas, valores e institucionalidades democráticas? A pesquisa parte da compreensão de que o movimento feminista brasileiro, visando transformar uma realidade social marcada por desigualdades entre homens e mulheres e coerente com o princípio de que “o pessoal é político”, desenvolveu metodologias educativas que privilegiam a abordagem integral do ser humano, a valorização de aspectos subjetivos na aprendizagem e a promoção da alteridade, o que a sintonizam com o debate contemporâneo sobre as novas perspectivas da educação. Por outro lado, o conteúdo de gênero, “coração” da formação feminista, ao ser intrinsecamente relacionado à questão da sexualidade, da identidade individual e da afetividade, coloca desafios específicos para esta formação, caracterizando-se muitas vezes como algo “perturbador”, principalmente para aqueles(as) participantes que não fazem parte do movimento. O trabalho discute os desafios metodológicos, conceituais e políticos da formação feminista atual, tendo como referência os horizontes político-estratégicos do movimento feminista brasileiro. Diversas questões abordadas nesta dissertação são comuns a processos formativos desenvolvidos por outros movimentos sociais e organizações não-governamentais que atuam em prol de uma sociedade cidadã, democrática, sustentável e comprometida com os direitos humanos.

title: Late Quaternary Glacier Fluctuations and Vegetation Change in the Northwestern Ahklun Mountains, Southwestern Alaska
Creators: name: Axford, Yarrow L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: This research examines moraine and lacustrine records of glacier fluctuations, in combination with palynological records of vegetation change, from the previously unstudied northwestern Ahklun Mountains in southwestern Alaska.
Morain mapping reveals that ice-cap outlet glaciers in the study area extended ca. 60 km from the center of the Ahklun Mountians ice dome during the early Wisconsin (sensu lato), and ca. 40 km during the late Wisconsin. Correlations with well-studied moraines in the southern Ahklun Mountains indicate an asymmetry of glaciation over the range, with ice-cap outlet glaciers more extensive to the south. This asymmetry was more striking during the early Wisconsin (s.l.) than during the late Wisconsin.
Alpine glaciers have repeatedly advanced from cirques within the study area. Because these alpine glaciers were confluent or sub-confluent with outlet glaciers during the late Wisconsin maximum, the alpine-glacier moraine record is relatively young. Lacustrine sedimentology from Little Swift Lake records significant retreat of alpine glaciers ca 12.8 ka (coeval with the onsent of the North Atlantic Younger Dryas). Moraines upvalley of the lake suggests a minor glacier (or rock glacier) advance occurred ca 5.5 ka.
Lacustrine records of vegetation from Little Swift Lake extend back to ca. 13.4 ka. Most vegetation changes resulted from the post-glacial spread of trees and shrubs, including Betula, alnus, and Picea, to their modern ranges. However, pollen assemblages and other paleoclimate proxies suggest some major changes in late-glacial and Holocene climate. Major vegetation change, most notably the dramatic expansion of Poaceae, occurred ca. 100 yr after the 12.8-ka glacier retreat and persisted for more than 2 ka. The inferred reversal to dry (and possibly cool) climate was followed by a period of exceptionally productive mesic conditions during the early Holocene, ca. 11 to 9 ka.
The pattern of latest-Quaternary climate changes documented in this study may be evidence that, as previous workers have concluded regarding the Pleistocene glaciations, the late-glacial and early Holocene climate of the Ahklun Mountains region was strongly modulated by changes in the proximity and temperature of the Bering Sea.

Creators: name: Pachell, Matthew A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: The structure and regional tectonic setting of an exhumed, 9.3-km long, left-lateral strike-slip fault zone eludicates processes of growth, linkage, and termination for strike-slip fault zones in granitic rocks. The Gemini fault zone is composed of three steeply dipping, southwest-striking, noncoplanar segments that nucleated and grew along preexisting joints. The fault zone has a maximum slip of 131 m and is an example of a segmented, hard-linked fault zone in which geometrical complexities of the faults and compositional variations of protolith and host rock resulted in nonuniform slip orientations, complex interactions at fault segments, and an asymmetric slip-distance profile. Regional structural analysis shows that joints and left-lateral fault zones have accommodated slip within a 4.8-km wide, right-lateral monoclinical kink band with vertical fold axes and northwest-striking axial surfaces. Geometric modeling of the kink band indicates that as little as 1.1 km of right-lateral displacement across the kink band may have produced the observed slip on kilometer-scale faults within the kink band.

description: Previous researchers conducted activity schedule studies and used them on unstructured areas such as the playground. This study investigates the ability of fading procedures on the effects of using activity schedules on the playground. This study displayed that fading procedures can be used and determined based on the level of the individual. The results showed that two participants were able to fade to more portable forms of activity schedules from the typical activity schedule binder. This study provides many possibilities for conducting future research involving the use of fading procedures on activity schedules.

Un’altra “imitation” di Robert Lowell
Creators: name: Mulas, Francesco
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 1990

description: This essay traces the origin of "Will not Come Back (Volverán)" by Robert Lowell, which he never openly stated to be either an original poem or a translation-or rather an "imitation," as he used to call this sort of composition. Mulas also points out the differences between this poem and the sonnet by Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, a well-known Spanish romantic poet who inspired Lowell. A close analysis of the two poems shows what is preserved of the original and what is new in Lowell's re-interpretation.

description: Background: College students are experiencing high levels of stress and compromised well-being, compounded by sedentary lifestyle and risky behaviors. In response to these challenges, college campuses are offering a variety of wellness programming intervention opportunities. Aim: This research study examined the effectiveness of a brief psychoeducational intervention on perceptions of stress, wellness, mental health, and life satisfaction. Methods: The study utilized a longitudinal, explanatory mixed methods design, with random assignment. To augment quantitative data, brief, semi-structured interviews were completed with 13 study participants post-intervention. Results: Results of repeated-measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) demonstrated no significant between-group differences. Intervention group pair-wise comparisons revealed positive trends across time for several outcome variables. Applied Thematic Analysis (ATA) revealed four primary themes including: stress-reduction benefits of relaxation techniques, improved knowledge of health impacts of alcohol, increased intentionality regarding nutrition habits, and need for increased accessibility of wellness programming. Conclusions: This study provides insight into the strengths and limitations of brief psychoeducation interventions in facilitating lifestyle change among college students. Implications for campus wellness programming are discussed.

description: The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) survey of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) is providing an unprecedented view of local AGNs ( = 0.03) and their host galaxy properties. In this paper, we present an analysis of the optical spectra of a sample of 64 AGNs from the 9-month survey, detected solely based on their 14-195 keV flux. Our analysis includes both archived spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and our own observations from the 2.1-m Kitt Peak National Observatory telescope. Among our results, we include line ratio classifications utilizing standard emission line diagnostic plots, [O III] 5007 A luminosities, and H-beta derived black hole masses. As in our X-ray study, we find the type 2 sources to be less luminous (in [O III] 5007 A and 14-195 keV luminosities) with lower accretion rates than the type 1 sources. We find that the optically classified LINERs, H II/composite galaxies, and ambiguous sources have the lowest luminosities, while both broad line and narrow line Seyferts have similar luminosities. From a comparison of the hard X-ray (14-195 keV) and [O III] luminosities, we find that both the observed and extinction-corrected [O III] luminosities are weakly correlated with X-ray luminosity. In a study of the host galaxy properties from both continuum fits and measurements of the stellar absorption indices, we find that the hosts of the narrow line sources have properties consistent with late type galaxies.

description: Social attention is considered to be the precursor of Social Cognition and Theory of Mind, which are fundamental for understanding social events and interact with other people. The observations regarding the attentional orientation effect between social (i.e., gaze) and non-social (i.e., arrows) stimuli have pointed out similar quantitative results but some differences have come out from a qualitative point of view. This study aims to 1) investigate physiological qualities in social cueing tasks through heart rate variability and 2) understand whether individuals with different HRV at baseline perform better in tasks with social stimuli. Sixty undergraduate students will be recruited to participate in two spatial orientation tasks: the first uses a classical Posner paradigm, the second an adaptation of the Posner paradigm employing the double rectangle model. Participants will be asked to fill the Reading the Mind in the Eyes questionnaire and the Autism Spectrum Quotient to assess social cognition skills. Heart rate variability (HRV) at rest (baseline) and during experimental procedures will be recorded. As a complement to the traditional analyses (i.e., reaction times mean and accuracy rate), the data will be modeled through the Drift Diffusion Model (DDM) in order to analyze the performance in more detail. It is expected that participants with higher HRV at baseline will present a better social cognition, therefore a better performance on cueing tasks with social stimuli.
Proposed study of the reaction, 7Li(3He,da)4He, with a time-of-flight scattering chamber.

description: The reaction, ⁷Li(³He,dα)⁴He, is proposed to search for an asymmetry about the direction of motion of ⁶Li in the breakup of the 4.57 MeV excited state of this nucleus as an intermediate state. This follows after the discovery in 1967 by Reimann et. al. of such an asymmetry about the direction of motion of ⁵Li in the breakup of the ground state of this nucleus, as an intermediate state in the reaction, ⁶Li(³He,pα)⁴He. The purpose of these experiments is to attempt some understanding of the three-body reaction mechanisms involved, and the manner in which the various particles are correlated in the intermediate state. The three-body kinematics of the reaction, ⁷Li(³He,dα)⁴He were thoroughly investigated, and because of particle identification problems, a charged particle time-of-flight technique was proposed to distinguish the emitted deuterons from alpha particles. A 23 inch scattering chamber was designed and constructed for this and other work, and subsequently tested using the reaction ⁷Li(p,α)⁴He.

title: Seasonal Movement Patterns of Coyotes in the Bear River Mountains of Idaho and Utah

description: Coyotes (Canis latrans) prey upon domestic sheep. The Animal Damage Control (ADC) program currently relies heavily on aerial gunning in winter to control coyote depredations on mountain grazing allotments. Some people claim that winter aerial gunning is not effective because coyotes migrate to lower elevations during winter, following herds of big game animals, and may not be on the allotments where summer depredations occur. I studied the seasonal movement patterns of coyotes in the Bear River Range of Utah and Idaho to determine if coyotes in montane habitats move on a seasonal basis. Radio-collared coyotes were located from fixed-wing aircraft from 13 November 1987 to 15 September 1989.
I used 3 parameters to assess interseasonal movement patterns: overlap in seasonal home ranges, distance between harmonic mean centers of activity, and seasonal differences in mean elevation. All mature coyotes showed overlapping seasonal home ranges, which suggests they did not move substantially between seasons. In contrast, none of the sub-adult coyotes had seasonal home ranges that overlapped. Distances between harmonic centers of seasonal activity were easily assigned to one of two groups (≤5000 m and ≤10,000 m). These corresponded precisely with coyotes that did and did not display overlap in seasonal home ranges. Significant changes in the elevations of seasonal locations were not evident for any age or sex group. I conclude (1) that movement of sub-adult coyotes in the Bear River Range is part of dispersal behavior and is not motivated by seasonal change and (2) that these sub-adult coyotes generally cease wandering during their second years. My findings are similar to other studies where nomadic wandering was more common among sub-adult coyotes and was not correlated with season. I saw no movement of coyotes from the mountains to valley locations. Adult coyotes were in the same location in summer as in winter.
