description: In a recent paper [arXiv:1001.0785], Verlinde has shown that the Newton gravity appears as an entropy force. In this paper we show how gravity appears as entropy force in Einstein's equation of gravitational field in a general spherically symmetric spacetime. We mainly focus on the trapping horizon of the spacetime. We find that when matter fields are absent, the change of entropy associated with the trapping horizon indeed can be identified with an entropy force. When matter fields are present, we see that heat flux of matter fields also leads to the change of entropy. Applying arguments made by Verlinde and Smolin, respectively, to the trapping horizon, we find that the entropy force is given by the surface gravity of the horizon. The cases in the untrapped region of the spacetime are also discussed.

description: Background— Isolated high convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage is a rare complication of flow diversion treatment.We present two cases of ipsilateral focal sulcal subarachnoid hemorrhage not related to either aneurysm rupture orarterial wire perforation following flow diverter placement with its probable hypothesis.Case Description—Case 1—An adult male presented with painful left oculomotor nerve palsy. Patient underwent balloon assistedcoiling for left anterior choroidal artery aneurysm. Angiography after six months showed recanalisation ofaneurysm. Pipeline flow diverter was deployed covering aneurysm. After fourteen hours he developed rightsided weakness. CT brain showed high convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage.Case 2—An adult female presented with painful right abducent nerve palsy. Angiography showed dissectingcavernous internal carotid artery aneurysm with right direct carotid cavernous fistula. Surpass flow diverter (4.5X 20cm) was placed from distal cavernous into ascending limb of internal carotid artery along with multipledetachable coils. Post procedure CT showed high convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage.Conclusions— High convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage following flow diverter placement is a rare complication.Sudden hemodynamic change / stress at the level of collateral conduits due to watershed shift, augmented systolicflow and in certain instances impaired vasomotor reserve could have resulted in collateral rupture. Flow studies arenecessary to confirm our hypothesis

description: We use Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) to study features of Generalized Synchronization (GS) between El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and monthly hydrological anomalies (HyAns) of rainfall and streamflows in Colombia. To that end, we check the sensitivity of the RQA concerning diverse HyAns estimation methods, which constitutes a fundamental procedure for any climatological analysis at inter-annual timescales. In general, the GS and its sensitivity to HyAns methods are quantified by means of time-lagged joint recurrence analysis. Then, we link the GS results with the dynamics of major physical mechanisms that modulate Colombia's hydroclimatology, including the Caribbean, the CHOCO and the Orinoco Low-Level Jets (LLJs), and the Cross-Equatorial Flow (CEF) over northwestern Amazonia (southern Colombia). Our findings show that RQA exhibits significant differences depending on the HyAns methods. GS results are similar for the HyAns methods with variable annual cycle but the time-lags seem to be sensitive. On the other hand, our results make evident that HyAns in the Pacific, Caribbean, and Andean regions of Colombia exhibit strong (weak) GS with the ENSO signal during La Niña (El Niño), when hydrological anomalies are positive (negative). Results from the GS analysis allow us to identify spatial patterns of non-linear dependence between ENSO and the Colombian's climatology. The mentioned moisture transport sources constitute the interdependence mechanism and contribute to explain hydrological anomalies in Colombia during the phases of ENSO. During La Niña (El Niño), GS is strong (weak) for the Caribbean and the CHOCO LLJs whereas GS is moderate (strong) for the Orinoco LLJ. Moreover, moisture advection by the Caribbean and CHOCO LLJs exhibit synchrony with HyAns at 0–2 (2–4) months-lags over north-western Colombia and the Orinoco LLJ moisture advection synchronizes with HyAns at similar month-lags over the Amazon region of Colombia. Furthermore, our results suggest a strong (weak) GS between negative (positive) Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) anomalies in the Eastern Pacific and rainfall anomalies in Colombia. In contrast, GS is strong (weak) for positive (negative) SST anomalies in the Central Pacific. Our GS results contribute to advance our understanding on the regional effects of both phases of ENSO in Colombia, whose socio-economical, environmental and ecological impacts cannot be overstated. This work provides a novel approach that reveals new insights into the impact of ENSO on northern South America. © Copyright © 2020 Salas, Poveda, Mesa and Marwan.

title: Carrying Capacity of the Key Browse Species for Moose on the North Slopes of the Uinta Mountains, Utah
Creators: name: Wilson, David E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The Shiras moose, Alces alces shirasi, and its winter habitat on the north slopes of the Uinta Mountains in Utah were studied from August, 1969, to July, 1971 to determine the food requirement for moose, the key browse species during the winter months, the acreage, density and utilization of the key browse species, and their carrying capacity for moose.
It was determined that an average adult moose had a daily food requirement of 19,133 kilocalories. The key browse species for moose were Salix drummondiana and S. geyeriana. These two species accounted for 92.0 and 4.7 percent respectively of all feeding occurrences on browse species recorded. According to density analyses, S. drummondiana made up 59 percent of the vegetation and S. geyeriana 31 percent. The caloric capacity of the key browse species for moose body maintenance was slightly more than 1.5 billion kilocalories.
The moose carrying capacity of the key browse species on the winter range was 80,030 moose days or 445 adult animals for a period of six months. Specifically, the carrying capacity, based on a weighted caloric requirement and annual classification counts, would be 115 bulls, 250 cows, and 156 calves for a period of six months on the winter range.

description: We show that the pointer basis distinguished by collisional decoherence consists of exponentially localized, solitonic wave packets. Based on the orthogonal unraveling of the quantum master equation, we characterize their formation and dynamics, and we demonstrate that the statistical weights arising from an initial superposition state are given by the required projection. Since the spatial width of the pointer states can be obtained by accounting for the gas environment in a microscopically realistic fashion, one may thus calculate the coherence length of a strongly interacting gas.

description: We demonstrate the capability of Flying Focus (FF) laser pulses with $\ell = 1$ orbital angular momentum (OAM) to transversely confine ultra-relativistic charged particle bunches over macroscopic distances while maintaining a tight bunch radius. A FF pulse with $\ell = 1$ OAM creates a radial ponderomotive barrier that constrains the transverse motion of particles and travels with the bunch over extended distances. As compared to freely propagating bunches, which quickly diverge due to their initial momentum spread, the particles co-traveling with the ponderomotive barrier slowly oscillate around the laser pulse axis within the spot size of the pulse. This can be achieved at FF pulse energies that are orders of magnitude lower than required by Gaussian or Bessel pulses with OAM. The ponderomotive trapping is further enhanced by radiative cooling of the bunch resulting from rapid oscillations of the charged particles in the laser field. This cooling decreases the mean square radius and emittance of the bunch during propagation.

Pulsar Binary Birthrates with Spin-Opening Angle Correlations

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Empirical birthrate estimates for pulsar binaries depend on the fraction of sky subtended by the pulsar beam: the pulsar beaming fraction. This fraction depends on both the pulsar's opening angle and the misalignment angle between its spin and magnetic axes. Previous estimates use the average value for only two pulsars, i.e. PSRs B1913+16 and B1534+12. We explore how birthrate predictions depend on assumptions about opening angle and alignment, using empirically-motivated distributions to define an effective beaming correction factor, f_{b,eff}. For most known pulsars, we expect f_{b,eff} to be less than 6. We also calculate f_{b,eff} for PSRs J0737-3039A and J1141-6545, applying the currently available constraints for their beam geometry. Our median posterior birthrate predictions for tight PSR-NS binaries, wide PSR-NS binaries, and tight PSR-WD binaries are 89/Myr, 0.84/Myr, and 34/Myr, respectively. For pulsars with spin period between 10 ms and 100 ms, we marginalized our posterior birthrate distribution P(R) over a range of plausible beaming correction factors. Our predictions are robust, changing little between several alternative misalignment angle distribution models. [ABRIDGED]

description: We propose a high-performance GPU solver for inverse homogenization problems to design high-resolution 3D microstructures. Central to our solver is a favorable combination of data structures and algorithms, making full use of the parallel computation power of today's GPUs through a software-level design space exploration. This solver is demonstrated to optimize homogenized stiffness tensors, such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio, under the constraint of bounded material volume. Practical high-resolution examples with 512^3=134.2 million finite elements run in less than 40 seconds per iteration with a peak GPU memory of 9 GB on an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti GPU. Besides, our GPU implementation is equipped with an easy-to-use framework with less than 20 lines of code to support various objective functions defined by the homogenized stiffness tensors. Our open-source high-performance implementation is publicly accessible at https://github.com/lavenklau/homo3d.

A metamorphic perspective for growth of landlocked developing countries

Publisher: name: ISAR Publisher
Year: 2023
Subjects: Agglomeration, Competitive advantage, National, Economic performance, Transformation.

description: A landlocked country is generally disadvantaged in its goal of development. Higher costs of transportation for international movements are fairly higher both for imports and exports, putting international trade if tangible goods on the back foot. The article delves into these factors, analyzing the determinants of Porters home diamond model and its variants. Finally the author  depart from the concepts of the home diamond model  and propose an important role of the Government policies in enhancing competitive advantage of the landlocked nation from a perspective of a multiple diamond model to address the question “ If there are inorganic ways to achieve higher prosperity rates for Landlocked developing countries?”  The author  believes that Governments of such Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC) miss out on an opportunity to transform to create an intellectual landscape and this perspective can be used to mitigate the selective factor disadvantage of ‘landlockedness’ in such nations. To make a comparative study, the author  takes into consideration the determinants of Porter's Home's diamond model, the double diamond model of Rugman, and the multiple diamond model of Cartwright, Role of Multinational Enterprises by Dunning, and others and proposes a new paradigm understanding by synthesizing the multiple diamond model  into what is a metamorphic  perspective a nation can adopt. The author hopes this perspective shall give a platform for future research to add value.

description: Gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) have appealing attributes as a quantum computing platform. However, near-term devices possess a range of possible imperfections that need to be accounted for during the tuning and operation of QD devices. One such problem is the capacitive cross-talk between the metallic gates that define and control QD qubits. A way to compensate for the capacitive cross-talk and enable targeted control of specific QDs independent of coupling is by the use of virtual gates. Here, we demonstrate a reliable automated capacitive coupling identification method that combines machine learning with traditional fitting to take advantage of the desirable properties of each. We also show how the cross-capacitance measurement may be used for the identification of spurious QDs sometimes formed during tuning experimental devices. Our systems can autonomously flag devices with spurious dots near the operating regime, which is crucial information for reliable tuning to a regime suitable for qubit operations.

description: We investigate synchronization patterns and chimera-like states in the modular multilayer topology of the connectome of Caenorhabditis elegans. In the special case of a designed network with two layers, one with electrical intra-community links and one with chemical inter-community links, chimera-like states are known to exist. Aiming at a more biological approach based on the actual connectivity data, we consider a network consisting of two synaptic (electrical and chemical) and one extrasynaptic (wireless) layers. Analyzing the structure and properties of this layered network using Multilayer-Louvain community detection, we identify modules whose nodes are more strongly coupled with each other than with the rest of the network. Based on this topology, we study the dynamics of coupled Hindmarsh-Rose neurons. Emerging synchronization patterns are quantified using the pairwise Euclidean distances between the values of all oscillators, locally within each community and globally across the network. We find a tendency of the wireless coupling to moderate the average coherence of the system: for stronger wireless coupling, the levels of synchronization decrease both locally and globally, and chimera-like states are not favored. By introducing an alternative method to define meaningful communities based on the dynamical correlations of the nodes, we obtain a structure that is dominated by two large communities. This promotes the emergence of chimera-like states and allows to relate the dynamics of the corresponding neurons to biological neuronal functions such as motor activities. © Copyright © 2019 Pournaki, Merfort, Ruiz, Kouvaris, Hövel and Hizanidis.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of dopaminergic neurons. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in many neurological diseases, including PD. This study aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA HOX transcript antisense RNA (HOTAIR) in PD pathogenesis and its potential mechanism. SK-N-SH cells were exposed to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+) to mimic PD model in vitro. The levels of HOTAIR, miR-874-5p and autophagy-related 10 (ATG10) were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) or western blot assay. Cell viability and apoptosis were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins was measured by western blot. The levels of neuroinflammation-related factors were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Commercial kits was used to monitor lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, reactive oxygen (ROS) generation and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The interaction among HOTAIR, miR-874-5p and ATG10 were verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay or RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. HOTAIR and ATG10 were up-regulated, and miR-874-5p was down-regulated in dose- and time-dependent manners in MPP+-treated SK-N-SH cells. HOTAIR knockdown reduced MPP+-induced neuronal damage. HOTAIR aggrandized MPP+-triggered neuronal injury by sponging miR-874-5p. Also, miR-874-5p attenuated MPP+-triggered neuronal damage by targeting ATG10. Moreover, HOTAIR regulated ATG10 expression via sponging miR-874-5p. HOTAIR promoted MPP+-induced neuronal injury via modulating the miR-874-5p/ATG10 axis in SK-N-SH cells.

The obtained cross section is finite by itself and a part of the full next-to-leading order result. We perform the calculation in exact kinematics in the eikonal limit, and show that the previously known high virtuality $Q^2$ and large invariant mass $M_X^2$ results for the structure functions can be extracted. We furthermore discuss the steps required to obtain the full next-to-leading order result.

title: Muskrat Population Levels and Vegetation Utilization: A Basis for an Index
Creators: name: McCabe, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: Muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) are associated with marshlands throughout North America. Their impact on marsh vegetation is well documented. In recent years, research pertaining to marsh ecosystems has emphasized the role of interspersion of marsh vegetation to higher faunal diversity and productivity. Muskrats can provide a natural control of aquatic emergents if managed properly. Experimentation at Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge, Utah, has attempted to ascertain whether vegetation-utilization index could be used for determining muskrat population levels and to evaluate the impact of muskrats on their primary food resource, Olney's bulrush (Scirpus americanus).
Three known populations of muskrats were maintained within wire-mesh enclosures 0.4-0.9 ha in size. Variable length transects were used to estimate the number of grazed stems of Olney's bulrush present in an enclosure for a 5-day period. Estimated number of grazed stems was divided by muskrat-days to give an estimate of the number of grazed stems muskrat-1 day-1. A consistant relation between the known muskrat population and the number of stems grazed muskrat-1 day-1 (23 .0) was found, indicating that a valid index could be formulated using vegetation utilization data.
Assessment of plant species utilization was analyzed from dietary composition obtained from stomach contents. Olney's bulrush was the most utilized food resource. Phragmites (Phragmites australis) was the most utilized resource in the absence of bulrush. The potential effects of muskrat grazing was determined using exclosures in homogeneous stands of the above vegetation. A 4x4 randomized block design with varying levels of simulated grazing was employed for monthly replications during the growing season for 2 years. Effect of repeated grazing was found to be highly significant for clipping rates within and between months for both years. Vegetative yield was measured as mean dry weight (g) per stem per plot. Significant differences in yield were noted among the grazing rates. Repeated grazing of emergent vegetation by muskrats can have a marked effect on the plants' ability to grow.

description: The problem of burning of high-velocity gas streams in channels is revisited. Previous treatments of this issue are found to be incomplete. It is shown that despite relative smallness of the transversal gas velocity, it plays crucial role in determining flame structure. In particular, it is necessary in formulating boundary conditions near the flame anchor, and for the proper account of the flame propagation law. Using the on-shell description of steady anchored flames, a consistent solution of the problem is given. Equations for the flame front position and gas-velocity at the front are obtained. It is demonstrated that they reduce to a second-order differential equation for the front position. Numerical solutions of the derived equations are found.

Creators: name: Kirkland, Reed L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: The ecology, life history, and population dynamics of the sagebrush defoliator, Aroga websteri Clarke, were studied in the field and laboratory. The defoliator has one generation a year at the Curlew Valley site. It overwintered in the egg stage and passed through five larval instars. Ten parasite species attacked the defoliator at the study site . Four species, Orgilus ferus, Phaeogenes sp., Spilochalcis leptis, and Apanteles cacoeciae, contributed over 75 percent of the total incidence of parasitism. Parasitism ranged from 20 to 76 percent in 1971, but only ranged from 6 to 29 percent in 1972. This decrease in total parasitism in 1972 coincided with a five-fold increase in the defoliator population. In 1972, many mature larvae died as a result of food shortage. A microsporidian infection and a predaceous beetle also caused variable mortality during the two years. Methods for determining defoliation to sagebrush plants were also studied in the field.
The consumption and utilization of food by the fourth and fifth larval instars were determined. The fecundity, rate of development, and behavior of the insect were also investigated under laboratory conditions. Partial life tables were constructed from the findings of 1971 and 1972 to assess the r ole of various mortality factors in regulating the sagebrush defoliator numbers.

description: The rapid development of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides has been possible owing to their special structures and remarkable properties. In particular, palladium diselenide (PdSe2) with a novel pentagonal structure and unique physical characteristics have recently attracted extensive research interest. Consequently, tremendous research progress has been achieved regarding the physics, chemistry, and electronics of PdSe2. Accordingly, in this review, we recapitulate and summarize the most recent research on PdSe2, including its structure, properties, synthesis, and applications. First, a mechanical exfoliation method to obtain PdSe2 nanosheets is introduced, and large-area synthesis strategies are explained with respect to chemical vapor deposition and metal selenization. Next, the electronic and optoelectronic properties of PdSe2 and related heterostructures, such as field-effect transistors, photodetectors, sensors, and thermoelectric devices, are discussed. Subsequently, the integration of systems into infrared image sensors on the basis of PdSe2 van der Waals heterostructures is explored. Finally, future opportunities are highlighted to serve as a general guide for physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers. Therefore, this comprehensive review may shed light on the research conducted by the 2D material community.

description: Protein quantification and validation is currently being performed with isotope dilution in combination with targeted mass spectrometry approaches like selective or parallel reaction monitoring (SRM / PRM). However, creating pathway specific assays remains time-consuming even after years of improvements. For sophisticated analyses, high-quality and high-resolution reference data are mandatory to create targeted assays. Several protein databases were published that addressed and partially improved those aspects. We introduce the ‘Simple Targeted Assays for Metabolic Pathways and Signaling’. STAMPS is a pathway centric web-service designed to develop targeted proteomics assays. Several intuitive interfaces provided in STAMPS guide the user towards a rapid and simplified method design. Using our curated framework to signaling and metabolic pathways, we achieved a 148-fold reduction of the average development time of an assay in comparison to the second fastest state-of-the-art tool.

title: Ecology of Badgers in Curlew Valley, Utah and Idaho With Emphasis on Movement and Activity Patterns
Creators: name: Lindzey, Frederick G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: Between March, 1969 and July, 1970, 16 badgers (Taxidea taxus) were caught and fitted with radio transmitters in the southern part of Curlew Valley. The animals were followed telemetrically; seven animals contributed sufficient data from which home-range, movement and activity patterns could be discerned. The aver age annual home-range size of five females was 664 acres (± s.d. 99 .5 acres). Female home-range sizes were approximately the same within crested wheat-grass (Agropyron aristatum) and sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) vegetation types, with greater distances traveled each night by females in the crested wheat-grass. Both home-range size and total movement were less during winter in the one badger observed during more than one season. The average home range of two males followed between September and mid-December was 1,440 acreas, twice the average female home-range size.
The necropsy of badgers in the study collection and a scat collection yielded information on the food habits and breeding biology of badgers in Curlew Valley. Many prey species were used, but mice were the most frequently eaten food item. Badgers bred between mid-July and the end of August. Delayed implantation PE sisted until approximately January 26. Pregnant females gave birth to an average of 2.2 young about April 1.

description: We study the time reversal (T) symmetry breaking of 2d helical fermi liquid, with application to the edge states of 3d topological band insulators with only one two-component Dirac fermion at finite chemical potential, as well as other systems with spin-orbit coupling. The T-breaking Ising order parameter is not over-damped and the theory is different from the ordinary Hertz-Millis theory for order parameters at zero momentum. We argue that the T-breaking phase transition is an 3d Ising transition, and the quasiparticles are well-defined in the quantum critical regime.

title: A Comparison of Job Satisfaction Needs of Selected Rural and Urban Industrial Education Students in the State of Utah
Creators: name: Lybarger, Alvin E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate, compare, and analyze personal-social needs of rural and urban students who were preparing for occupations in the industrial education areas.
The study was a descriptive research which employed the survey technique using the Minnesota Importance Questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to high school students in the state of Utah classified in two categories: 151 industrial and agricultural students enrolled in rural high schools and 91 industrial vocational students enrolled in urban high schools.
Major findings . The rural and urban students possessed similar vocational needs. To the entire student sample, advancement, security, and ability utilization were considered most impo rtant; while independence, social status, and authority were considered least important. A small percentage of the students were actually preparing for occupations which corresponded to their selected job clusters. Both rural and urban students selected professional and semi-professional occupations as the vocational areas in which their needs would be most likely met.
Major conclusions. Students want to work with others, but they do not want to tell others what to do. Supervisors want workers who will obey instructions and go ahead on their own to complete a task. Students have greater vocational needs than the occupations for which they are training appear able to provide. If behavioral objectives were to be written on the state level in the affective domain and with vocational needs in mind, it would appear that the objectives would be functional for both rural and urban groups. Due to the students' high vocational needs, it would be difficult for many students to find complete job satisfaction in occupations in clusters 7 and 9, which are manual occupations.

description: The various forms of carbon nanostructures are providing extraordinary new opportunities that can revolutionize the way gas sensors, electrochemical sensors and biosensors are engineered. The great potential of carbon nanostructures as a sensing platform is exciting due to their unique electrical and chemical properties, highly scalable, biocompatible and particularly interesting due to the almost infinite possibility of functionalization with a wide variety of inorganic nanostructured materials and biomolecules. This opens a whole new pallet of specificity into sensors that can be extremely sensitive, durable and that can be incorporated into the ongoing new generation of wearable technology. Within this context, carbon-based nanostructures are amongst the most promising structures to be incorporated in a multi-functional platform for sensing. The present review discusses the various 1D, 2D and 3D carbon nanostructure forms incorporated into different sensor types as well as the novel functionalization approaches that allow such multi-functionality.
title: The Use of Clay Forms to Symbolize the Quality of the Southern Utah Landscape
Creators: name: Kajitani, Ban
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: This project was concerned with study of Neriage, Zougan, and Raku techniques in search of a creative, individual expression of the Southern Utah landscape. To find ceramic forms which would reflect its history, and show appreciation for its aesthetic characteristics of color, vastness and endless variety of form.
In the development of this artist's philosophy, a potter artist has to acquire certain qualities of form and concepts which are of basic importance in the execution of his work.
These concepts which are a part of his philosophy are first; truth to material. Since clay is a very versatile material it can tempt the artist to go beyond its normal character. It can be made to look like almost any other material. In spite of these other possibilities, however valid, there are to this artist only certain qualities that are truly characteristic of the earthy, geological character of clay. Second; the search of form-knowledge. An understanding of the internal as well as external structure or form and application of that knowledge to his own work. Third; the development of a personal direction. The concepts involved in the artist's work provide the necessary order in his experiments with form. The primary concerns to this artist were a feeling of monumentality in each piece of work and the development of a personal form by forced searching into a specific direction.
A variety of stoneware forms were created utilizing wheel throwing, hand building, plaster press mold methods and a combination of methods. The Neriage ware was made from specially formulated clay bodies. The colored clays were mixed intentionally with red sand, grey sand, and metalic oxides into the special formulated clay body.
The choice of Neriage and Raku ware were a satisfactory solution in the attempt to symbolize the quality of Southern Utah landscape.
Although indicating influences from traditional Neriage ceramic works of Japan and marble ware from England, the Neriage ceramics of this potter are his own spiritual expressions inspired by the natural rock formations of Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands National Park, Arches National Monument and Lake Powell.

description: Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) is composed of

eight counties: Dearborn in Indiana; Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties in

Kentucky; and Butler, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren Counties in Ohio.  The OKI

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is the compilation of all

publicly-assisted transportation projects including both highway and transit

elements, constrained to available funding levels and prioritized by need.

It is the region's program for transportation improvement, the mechanism by

which local governments, acting together in a coordinated effort, place system

improvements in a comprehensive perspective in order to allocate limited

resources in the most beneficial manner.  Preparation of the TIP is a

requirement in order to qualify the region for continuing eligibility for

federal highway and transit funding assistance.  Although OKI produces the

TIP on an annual basis, each edition covers a period of four years.  Along

with an overview of the transportation planning process through which the

projects are generated, the TIP provides a listing, by county, of all

federally-assisted highway and transit improvements that are contemplated

by municipal, county or state governments or transit authorities.  51p.
title: Structural Geology of Eastern Part of James Peak Quadrangle and Western Part of Sharp Mountain Quadrangle, Utah
Creators: name: Rauzi, Steven L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: A detailed study was made of the James Peak-Sharp Mountain area, in the southern part of the Bear River Range, Utah. The mapped area is located in north-central Utah between lat. 41°22'30" N. and lat. 41°30' N. and long. 111°42'30" W. and long. 111°46' W. It measures about 3.8 miles in the east-west direction and 8.7 miles in the north-south direction. The area is centered about 22 miles south-southeast of Logan, Utah.
Stratigraphic units of late Precambrian to Mississippian age underlie the mapped area. The Precambrian units include the Mutual and Browns Hole Formations. The Brigham, Langston, Ute, Blacksmith, Bloomington, Nounan, and St. Charles Formations make up a complete Cambrian section. The Ordovician Garden City and Swan Peak Formations, the Ordovician-Silurian Laketown Formation, the Devonian Water Canyon and Hyrum Formations, and the Mississippian Lodgepole and Humbug Formations overlie the St. Charles in normal succession.
The oldest unit the Precambrian Mutual Formation, crops out in the southern part of the area on the eastern side of James Peak. The rock units are progressively younger toward the northern part of the area. Mesozoic rocks are not present. The Salt Lake Formation of Tertiary age directly overlies the Paleozoic rocks.
The main structural feature of the area is an asymmetrical north-south-trending anticline. The eastern flank dips more steeply than the western flank. The anticline plunges gently north and dies out southward. This anticline is one of a series of asymmetrical anticlines, all steeper on the east than on the west, that includes the Strawberry Valley anticline to the east and the anticline exposed in upper Wolf Creek Canyon to the west. The late Precambrian and early Paleozoic formations, which dip northeast on the eastern flank of James Peak, make up the northeastern flank of the anticline exposed in upper Wolf Creek Canyon. The early Paleozoic to Devonian formations that form Sharp Mountain and dip gently west make up the western flank of the Strawberry Valley anticline.
Low-angle thrust faults have disrupted the Precambrian and Paleozoic formations on the eastern and southeastern flanks of James Peak. Displacement on the thrust fault north of upper Wellsville Creek is about 2,000 feet. Movement was generally from the west.
Normal faults have disrupted the Paleozoic and Tertiary formations along the eastern margin of Cache Valley and the Paleozoic formations east of McKenzie Mountain. Displacement is indeterminate along the eastern margin of Cache Valley. Maximum displacement, east of McKenzie Mountain, is about 1,750 feet. The normal faults truncate the folds and thrust faults.
The folds and thrust faults were formed during the Laramide orogeny. The normal faults were formed during Basin and Range normal faulting. Basin and Range normal faulting is active at the present time.
