CYBERSUSY: A new mechanism for supersymmetry breaking in models like the supersymmetric standard model (SSM)
Creators: name: Dixon, John A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The SUSY breaking in Cybersusy is proportional to the VEV that breaks the gauge symmetry SU(2) X U(1) down to U(1), and it is rather specific to models like the SSM. Assuming full breaking, as explained below, for the leptons, Cybersusy predicts a spectrum of SUSY breaking that is in accord with experimental results so far. In particular, for the choice of parameters below, Cybersusy predicts that the lowest mass superpartner for the charged leptons is a charged vector boson lepton (the Velectron), which has a mass of 316 Gev . The Selectron has a mass of 771 Gev for that choice of parameters. The theory also leads to a zero cosmological constant after SUSY breaking. The mechanism generates equations that restrict models like the SSM. This version of this paper incorporates recent results and changes discovered subsequent to the talk.

description: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as a combination of glucose intolerance, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and obesity with insulin resistance as the main cause of these imbalances. In general, obesity increases the risk of vascular diseases. Both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders are often linked to impaired cognitive functions. A relationship between metabolic disease and mild cognitive impairment, and/or vascular dementia was hypothesized. The obese Zucker rat (OZR), represents a model of obesity and type 2 diabetes exhibiting a moderate degree of arterial hypertension. OZRs are characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinaemia and hyperlipidaemia. This study has investigated brain microanatomy of OZRs compared with their nonobese cohort lean Zucker rats (LZRs) to assess possible relationships between MetS and brain damage. Male OZRs and LZRs of 12, 16 and 20 weeks of age were used. Body weight, blood pressure and blood chemistry parameters were checked every two weeks and before killing. The brain was dissected out and processed for immunochemical and immunohistochemical analysis of nerve cells identified by neuronal specific nuclear protein (NeuN) and axons identified by neurofilament (NF) immunohistochemistry. Glial-fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) immunoreactive astrocytes were also investigated. OZRs of different ages, were characterized by a high body weight, an increase of systolic pressure, glycemia, triglycerides and cholesterol levels in comparison with LZRs. An age-dependent increase of these parameters was observed in OZRs. A decrease of brain/body weight ratio was found in OZRs. In frontal cortex and hippocampus, morphological and immunochemical analysis revealed a decrease of NeuN immunoreactive neurons not related to apoptosis in older OZRs group compared to age matched LZRs. In OZRs a decrease of NF immunoreaction and an increase of GFAP immunoreactive astrocytes was observed compared to LZRs These findings suggest that OZRs, used for investigating mechanisms and pathophysiology of obesity and type 2 diabetes, may also represent a model for assessing the influence of MetS on brain.

description: We investigate the utility of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and the red giant branch (RGB) as probes of the star formation history (SFH) of the nearby (D=2.5 Mpc) dwarf irregular galaxy, KKH 98. Near-infrared (IR) Keck Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics (AO) images resolve 592 IR bright stars reaching over 1 magnitude below the Tip of the Red Giant Branch. Significantly deeper optical (F475W and F814W) Hubble Space Telescope images of the same field contain over 2500 stars, reaching to the Red Clump and the Main Sequence turn-off for 0.5 Gyr old populations. Compared to the optical color magnitude diagram (CMD), the near-IR CMD shows significantly tighter AGB sequences, providing a good probe of the intermediate age (0.5 - 5 Gyr) populations. We match observed CMDs with stellar evolution models to recover the SFH of KKH 98. On average, the galaxy has experienced relatively constant low-level star formation (5 x 10^-4 Mo yr^-1) for much of cosmic time. Except for the youngest main sequence populations (age < 0.1 Gyr), which are typically fainter than the AO data flux limit, the SFH estimated from the the 592 IR bright stars is a reasonable match to that derived from the much larger optical data set. Differences between the optical and IR derived SFHs for 0.1 - 1 Gyr populations suggest that current stellar evolution models may be over-producing the AGB by as much as a factor of three in this galaxy. At the depth of the AO data, the IR luminous stars are not crowded. Therefore these techniques can potentially be used to determine the stellar populations of galaxies at significantly further distances.

title: Heterogeneous Water and Energy End-Uses and Implications for Residential Water and Energy Conservation and Management
Creators: name: Abdallah, Adel M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The thesis develops an integrated approach to model heterogeneous household water and energy end-uses and their linkages. The approach considers variations in behavioral and technological water-and-energy-use factors that affect indoor residential water- and energy-use in the U.S. Here, we use a recent, large, national, disaggregated household dataset of potable hot and cold water end-uses collected from eleven cities. We also use national energy data to estimate heterogeneous energy-uses for household water appliances including toilets, showers, faucets, clothes-washers, and dishwashers. First, probability distributions of water- and energy-use factors are identified, correlated, and compared among study sites. Then Monte Carlo simulations are used to calculate probability distributions for estimated households’ water-and-energy-uses. Finally, linear regressions are used to find the relative effects of water and energy factors on household energy-use. Results show that water and energy distributions among households are heavily skewed, with the largest 14.6% of the users consuming 30.5% and 33.1% of water and energy, respectively. Water heater dispense temperature followed by faucet flowrate have the highest relative effect on household energy-use and should be targeted to reduce household energy use. The approach improves prior homogenous and deterministic water-energy models and can help utilities select and size cost-effective collaborative water and energy conservation actions.

title: Water Infrastructure Challenges in Urbanizing Environments: A Case Study of the 2009 Logan Canal Landslide
Creators: name: Henderson, Kathryn Davis
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Social constructions, or frames, often determine how and to whom benefits and burdens are delivered by public policy. Triggering events often open policy windows in which drastic policy changes can occur. In July of 2009, a wet, steep hillside failed in Logan, Utah, leveling a home below and destroying an irrigation canal that ran along the hill. The resulting policy changes illustrated how social constructions of agricultural producers in terms of deservedness and power shifted, both as a result of urbanization and as a result of the landslide. Policy processes are often path-dependent and decisions can become self-reinforcing. Analyzing the pathway that led up to the landslide provided insights into the importance of proactive management and long-term planning of water infrastructure, especially in urbanizing environments. By using policy and discourse analysis, this thesis highlights water management challenges involved in the urbanizing arid U.S. Intermountain West and how planners and policymakers can use this information to achieve democratic policy solutions.

description: We investigate the stability of a quadratic band-crossing point (QBCP) in 2D fermionic systems. At the non-interacting level, we show that a QBCP exists and is topologically stable for a Berry flux $\pm 2π$, if the point symmetry group has either fourfold or sixfold rotational symmetries. This putative topologically stable free-fermion QBCP is marginally unstable to {\em arbitrarily weak} short-range repulsive interactions. We consider both spinless and spin-1/2 fermions. Four possible ordered states result: a quantum anomalous Hall phase, a quantum spin Hall phase, a nematic phase, and a nematic-spin-nematic phase.

title: Homogenization of Large-Scale Movement Models in Ecology with Application to the Spread of Chronic Wasting Disease in Mule Deer
Creators: name: Garlick, Martha J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: A difficulty in using diffusion models to predict large-scale animal population dispersal is that individuals move differently based on local information (as opposed to gradients) in differing habitat types. This can be accommodated by using ecological diffusion. However, real environments are often spatially complex, limiting application of a direct approach. Homogenization for partial differential equations has long been applied to Fickian diffusion (in which average individual movement is organized along gradients of habitat and population density). In this work, we derive a homogenization procedure for ecological diffusion, which allows us to determine the impact of small-scale (10-100 m) habitat variability on large-scale (10-100 km) movement, and apply it to models for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in mule deer. CWD is an infectious prion disease that affects members of the Cervidae family. It is a slow-developing, fatal disease, which is rare in the free-ranging deer population of Utah. We first present a simple spatial disease model to illustrate our homogenization procedure and the use of ecological diffusion as a way to connect animal movement with disease spread. Then we develop a more disease-specific sex-structured model for the spread of CWD, incorporating both horizontal and environmental transmission pathways. We apply our homogenization technique to greatly reduce the computational load for a simulation of disease spread from the La Sal Mountains to the Abajo Mountains of Southeast Utah. We use the averaged coefficients from the homogenized model to explore asymptotic invasion speed and critical population size for portions of our study area. Lastly, we describe the estimation of motilities for the disease-specific model from GPS location data, using a continuous-time correlated random walk model.

Subjects: RUNX2; metopic suture closure; human brain evolution

description: Background. Overall, the comparative data available on the timing of metopic suture closure in present-day and fossil members of human lineage, as well as great apes, seem to indicate that human brain evolution occurred within a complex network of fetopelvic constraints, which required modification of frontal neurocranial ossification patterns, involving delayed fusion of the metopic suture. It is very interesting that the recent sequencing of the Neanderthal genome has revealed signs of positive selection in the modern human variant of the RUNX2 gene, which is known to affect metopic suture fusion in addition to being essential for osteoblast development and proper bone formation. It is possible that an evolutionary change in RUNX2, affecting aspects of the morphology of the upper body and cranium, was of importance in the origin of modern humans. Thus, to contribute to a better understanding of the molecular evolution of this gene probably implicated in human evolution, we performed a comparative bioinformatic analysis of the coding sequences of RUNX2 in Homo sapiens and other non-human Primates.
Results. We found amino-acid sequence differences between RUNX2 protein isoforms of Homo sapiens and the other Primates examined, that might have important implications for the timing of metopic suture closure.
Conclusions. Further studies are needed to clear the potential distinct developmental roles of different species-specific RUNX2 N-terminal isoforms. Meantime, our bioinformatic analysis, regarding expression of the RUNX2 gene in Homo sapiens and other non-human Primates, has provided a contribution to this important issue of human evolution.

Galaxy star formation in different environments

description: We use a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation to study signatures of large-scale modulations in the star formation (SF) activity in galaxies. In order to do this we carefully define local and global estimators of the density around galaxies. The former are computed using a voronoi tessellation technique and the latter are parameterised by the normalised distance to haloes and voids, in terms of the virial and void radii, respectively. As a function of local density, galaxies show a strong modulation in their SF, a result that is in agreement with those from several authors. When taking subsamples of equal local density at different large-scale environments, we find relevant global effects whereby the fraction of red galaxies diminishes for galaxies in equal local density environments farther away from clusters and closer to voids. In general, the semianalytic simulation is in good agreement with the available observational results, and offers the possibility to disentangle many of the processes responsible for the variation of galaxy properties with the environment; we find that the changes found in samples of galaxies with equal local environment but different distances to haloes or voids come from the variations in the underlying mass function of dark-matter haloes. There is an additional possible effect coming from the host dark-matter halo ages, indicating that halo assembly also plays a small but significant role ($1.14σ$) in shaping the properties of galaxies, and in particular, hints at a possible spatial correlation in halo/stellar mass ages.

description: The aim of the present work is to constrain the Coma cluster magnetic field strength, its radial profile and power spectrum by comparing Faraday Rotation Measure (RM) images with numerical simulations of the magnetic field. We have analyzed polarization data for seven radio sources in the Coma cluster field observed with the Very Large Array at 3.6, 6 and 20 cm, and derived Faraday Rotation Measures with kiloparsec scale resolution. Random three dimensional magnetic field models have been simulated for various values of the central intensity B_0 and radial power-law slope eta, where eta indicates how the field scales with respect to the gas density profile. We derive the central magnetic field strength, and radial profile values that best reproduce the RM observations. We find that the magnetic field power spectrum is well represented by a Kolmogorov power spectrum with minimum scale ~ 2 kpc and maximum scale ~ 34 kpc. The central magnetic field strength and radial slope are constrained to be in the range (B_0=3.9 microG; eta=0.4) and (B_0=5.4 microG; eta=0.7) within 1sigma. The best agreement between observations and simulations is achieved for B_0=4.7 microG; eta=0.5. Values of B_0>7 microG and <3 microG as well as eta < 0.2 and eta > 1.0 are incompatible with RM data at 99 % confidence level.

title: Integrating Remote Sensing and Ecosystem Models for Terrestrial Vegetation Analysis: Phenology, Biomass, and Stand Age
Creators: name: Zhang, Gong
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Terrestrial vegetation plays an important role in global carbon cycling and climate change by assimilating carbon into biomass during the growing season and releasing it due to natural or anthropogenic disturbances. Remote sensing and ecosystem models can help us extend our studies of vegetation phenology, aboveground biomass, and disturbances from field sites to regional or global scales. Nonetheless, remote sensing-derived variables may differ in fundamental and important ways from ground measurements. With the growth of remote sensing as a key tool in geoscience research, comparisons to ground data and intercomparisons among satellite products are needed. Here I conduct three separate but related analyses and show promising comparisons of key ecosystem states and processes derived from remote sensing and theoretical modeling to those observed on the ground. First, I show that the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) greenup product is significantly correlated with the earliest ground phenology event for North America. Spring greenup indices from different satellites demonstrate similar variability along latitudes, but the number of ground phenology observations in summer, fall, and winter is too limited to interpret the remote sensing-derived phenology products. Second, I estimate aboveground biomass (AGB) for California and show that it agrees with inventory-based regional biomass assessments. In this approach, I present a new remote sensing-based approach for mapping live forest AGB based on a simple parametric model that combines high-resolution estimates of Leaf Area Index derived from Landsat and canopy maximum height from the space-borne Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) sensor. Third, I built a theoretical model to estimate stand age in primary forests by coupling a carbon accumulation function to the probability density of disturbance occurrences, and then ran the model with satellite-derived AGB and net primary production. The validated remote sensing data, integrated with ecosystem models, are particularly useful for large-region vegetation research in areas with sparse field measurements, and will help us to explore the long-term vegetation dynamics.

Social services for the disabled : a descriptive study of needs and resources in a family context, based on a sample group of total disability allowance recipients, City Social Service Department, Vancouver, 1958
Creators: name: Maung, SʻMyint

description: Disablement is of many types and has varied causes; but when the disability is total or permanent there are serious consequences, economic and social, for the afflicted persons and their families. Two types of disability, those arising from war casualties and those arising from industrial accidents, have been the subject of special provision for many years (national Veterans' legislation and provincial Workmen's Compensation); but civilian non-industrial disablement has only recently become the subject of national legislation. Prior to the institution of Disability Allowances (1955), many of the persons now receiving these grants were Social Assistance cases. This thesis undertakes a descriptive study of a group of such cases, with the special purpose of illuminating the family contests of total disablement. Two types of family situation are chosen: (a) families with a dependent child or younger person; (b) families in which the male head is the disabled person. Against a background of existing records, a small number of typical families in each group were interviewed comprehensively on the nature and implications of the disease or disability, the activities and attitudes of the handicapped person and his (or her) family, and family, neighborhood and community strengths and weaknesses. It proved possible to bring together this picture in integral form under four heads: (1) economic circumstances (including the family budget, and implications for welfare administration); (2) family contributions (strengths and weaknesses); (3) compensating activities and attitudes; (4) community resources and needs. While this account remains qualitative, it provides at least a provisional approach to the realities and limitations of "rehabilitation" for such difficult cases as these. This particular review reveals an area of family solidarity, or at least acceptance of burdens and responsibilities, which deserves more attention than it usually gains, but it also underlines the value of auxiliary welfare services, and the need for discriminate and discretionary application of administrative provisions.
title: Using Relevance Vector Machines Approach for Prediction of Total Suspended Solids and Turbidity to Sustain Water Quality and Wildlife in Mud Lake
Creators: name: Batt, Hussein Aly
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Mud Lake is a wildlife refuge located in southeastern Idaho just north of Bear Lake that traps sediment from Bear River water flowing into Bear Lake.Very few water quality and sediment observations, if any, exist spatially in Mud Lake. Spatial patterns of sediment deposition may affect Mud Lake flows and habitat; prediction of those patterns should help refuge managers predict water quality constituents and spatial distribution of fine sediment.This will help sustain the purposes of Mud Lake as a habitat and migratory station for species.
The main objective of the research is the development of Multivariate Relevant Vector Machine (MVRVM) to predict suspended fine sediment and water quality constituents, and to provide an understanding for the practical problem of determining the amount of data required for the MVRVM. MVRVM isa statistical learning algorithm that is based on Bayes theory.It has been widely used to predict patterns in hydrological systems and other fields. This research represents the first known attempt to use a MVRVM approach to predict transport of very fine sediment andwater quality constituents in a complex natural system.
The results demonstrate the ability of the MVRVM to capture and predict the underlying patterns in data.Also careful construction of the experimental design for data collection can lead the Relevant Vectors (RVs is a subset of training observation which carries significant information that is used for prediction) to show locations of significant patterns.
The predictions of water quality constituents will be of potential value to US Fish and Wildlife refuge managers in making decisions for operation and management in the case of Mud Lake based on their objectives, and will lead the way for scientists to expand the use of the MVRVM for modeling of suspended fine sediment and water quality in complex natural systems.
Interpretation and implication of the non-detection of GeV spectrum excess by Fermi gamma-ray Space Telescope in most GRBs

description: Since the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope on 11 June 2008, significant detections of high energy emission have been reported only in six Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) until now. In this work we show that the lack of detection of a GeV spectrum excess in almost all GRBs, though somewhat surprisingly, can be well understood within the standard internal shock model and several alternatives like the photosphere-internal shock (gradual magnetic dissipation) model and the magnetized internal shock model. The delay of the arrival of the >100 MeV photons from some Fermi bursts can be interpreted too. We then show that with the polarimetry of prompt emission these models may be distinguishable. In the magnetized internal shock model, high linear polarization level should be typical. In the standard internal shock model, high linear polarization level is still possible but much less frequent. In the photosphere-internal shock model, the linear polarization degree is expected to be roughly anti-correlated with the weight of the photosphere/thermal component, which may be a unique signature of this kind of model. We also briefly discuss the implication of the current Fermi GRB data on the detection prospect of the prompt PeV neutrinos. The influences of the intrinsic proton spectrum and the enhancement of the neutrino number at some specific energies, due to the cooling of pions (muons), are outlined.

description: We study a simple model of periodic contraction and extension of large intruders in a granular bed to understand the mechanism for swimming in an otherwise solid media. Using an event-driven simulation, we find optimal conditions that idealized swimmers must use to critically fluidize a sand bed so that it is rigid enough to support a load when needed, but fluid enough to permit motion with minimal resistance. Swimmers - or other intruders - that agitate the bed too rapidly produce large voids that prevent traction from being achieved, while swimmers that move too slowly cannot travel before the bed re-solidifies around them i.e., the swimmers locally probe the fundamental time-scale in a granular packing.

Creators: name: Jones, Todd R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: An experiment involving two treatment groups compared whole wheat diet and refined wheat diet on different sets of mice. Of interest were the differences by treatment of the levels of hundreds of bacteria in the guts of the mice. It was desired to determine the statistical significance of not only the individual bacteria, but also the families of bacteria. These family relationships are represented in a phylogenetic tree, and it was determined helpful to color the branches of bacteria based on the significance of their corresponding families. Calculating these p-values and coloring the branches by hand would not be a quick process. An automated method would greatly increase the efficiency of these calculations. To handle this problem, SigTree, an R package, was written. The p-values for individual bacteria (tips) are combined up the tree using meta-analysis methods, and significance is visualized on a color scale in a revised phylogenetic tree plot. SigTree is able to handle not only the motivating mouse diet experiment, but also experiments that fall into the general framework of having significance tests (and resulting p-values) on each tip in a phylogenetic tree.

description: Due to the essential demands for novel anti-tuberculosis treatments for global tuberculosis control, this research investigated the antimycobacterial activity of Hypericum perforatum herb (commonly known as St. John’s wort, SJW), including a SJW methanol extract, purified major bioactive constituents of SJW: hypericin (Hpn), pseudohypericin (Phn) and hyperforin (Hfn). The SJW acidified methanol extract showed bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium JLS at 0.05 mg/ml culture. Purified compounds were tested at similar concentrations contained in the SJW methanol extract treatment. Among three purified bioactive compounds, only Hfn was bactericidal at 12 μg/ml. The other two compounds Phn and Hpn were not inhibitory or bactericidal at concentrations corresponding to the SJW methanol extract treatments.
The Polysorbate surfactant Tween 80, which is commonly added to the mycobacterial cultures to prevent cell clumping, was found to have inhibitory effects on the antimycobacterial activities of SJW extract and hyperforin. The addition of Tween 80 (0.05% v/v) increased the minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC) of SJW methanol extract from 0.05 to 0.33mg /ml and from 12 to 80 μg/ml for Hfn. This inhibitory effect of Tween 80 on SJW is opposite to the effect of Tween 80 on the antimycobacterial activity of rifampin and isoniazid. These observations are also in conflict with the existing permeability barrier hypothesis. A hypothesis that hyperforin molecules were sequestered in the core of Tween 80 micelles was given out to explain the repression effect of Tween 80 on hyperforin activity. The effectiveness of Tween 60, Tween 40 and Tween 20 on SJW activity was also tested. Tween 60 and Tween 40 showed the similar dose-dependent inhibitory effect on SJW extract activity with Tween 80, while the inhibitory effect of Tween 20 is much weaker.
A preliminary test was performed to detect the activity of SJW acidified MeOH extract and hyperforin on M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Results showed the MIC was 0.67mg SJW extract/ml and 200 μg Hfn /ml. In all, M. tuberculosis H37Rv stain is not that sensitive to SJW and hyperforin as other non-pathogenic strains tested in the present and previous studies.

description: We consider reshaping a scattering obstacle virtually by using transformation optics in acoustic and electromagnetic scattering. Among the general virtual reshaping results, the virtual minification and virtual magnification are particularly studied. Stability estimates are derived for scattering amplitude in terms of the diameter of a small obstacle, which implies that the limiting case for minification corresponds to a perfect cloaking, i.e., the obstacle is invisible to detection.
