description: We consider evolution of multichannel excitations in longitudinally modulated waveguide arrays where refractive index either oscillates out-of-phase in all neighboring waveguides or when it is modulated in phase in several central waveguides surrounded by out-of-phase oscillating neighbors. Both types of modulations allow resonant inhibition of light tunneling, but only the modulation of latter type conserves the internal structure of multichannel excitations. We show that parameter regions where light tunneling inhibition is possible depend on the symmetry and structure of multichannel excitations. Antisymmetric multichannel excitations are more robust than their symmetric counterparts and experience nonlinearity-induced delocalization at higher amplitudes.

description: A new measurement of proton resonance scattering on 7Be was performed up to the center-of-mass energy of 6.7 MeV using the low-energy RI beam facility CRIB (CNS Radioactive Ion Beam separator) at the Center for Nuclear Study of the University of Tokyo. The excitation function of 7Be+p elastic scattering above 3.5 MeV was measured successfully for the first time, providing important information about the resonance structure of the 8B nucleus. The resonances are related to the reaction rate of 7Be(p, gamma)8B, which is the key reaction in solar 8B neutrino production. Evidence for the presence of two negative parity states is presented. One of them is a 2- state observed as a broad s-wave resonance, the existence of which had been questionable. Its possible effects on the determination of the astrophysical S-factor of 7Be(p, gamma)8B at solar energy are discussed. The other state had not been observed in previous measurements, and its spin and parity were determined as 1-.

description: This paper is devoted to estimates of the exponential decay of eigenfunctions of difference operators on the lattice Z^n which are discrete analogs of the Schrödinger, Dirac and square-root Klein-Gordon operators. Our investigation of the essential spectra and the exponential decay of eigenfunctions of the discrete spectra is based on the calculus of so-called pseudodifference operators (i.e., pseudodifferential operators on the group Z^n) with analytic symbols and on the limit operators method. We obtain a description of the location of the essential spectra and estimates of the eigenfunctions of the discrete spectra of the main lattice operators of quantum mechanics, namely: matrix Schrödinger operators on Z^n, Dirac operators on Z^3, and square root Klein-Gordon operators on Z^n.

description: The KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment KATRIN aims at improving the upper limit of the mass of the electron antineutrino to about 0.2 eV (90% c.l.) by investigating the beta-decay of tritium gas molecules. The experiment is currently under construction to start first data taking in 2012. One source of systematic uncertainties in the KATRIN experiment is the formation of ion clusters when tritium decays and decay products interact with residual tritium molecules. It is essential to monitor the abundances of these clusters since they have different final state energies than tritium ions. For this purpose, a prototype of a cylindrical Penning trap has been constructed and tested at the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, which will be installed in the KATRIN beam line. This system employs the technique of Fourier-Transform Ion-Cyclotron-Resonance in order to measure the abundances of the different stored ion species.

Legal aspects of active voluntary euthanasia in Australia
Creators: name: Otlowski, Margaret
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the present criminal law position with respect to medically administered active voluntary euthanasia in Australia. Under existing criminal law principles, whilst there is some scope for passive euthanasia, active volunta.rY euthanasia is treated as murder and no account is taken of the special circumstances existing in such cases. Notwithstanding this prohibition, there is evidence that Australian doctors are involved in the practice of active voluntary euthanasia. However, police and prosectors appear reluctant to intervene in this area of medical practice, and judging from the experience in other jurisdictions, there is every likelihood that if a doctor were prosecuted in Australia for having administered active voluntary euthanasia, the doctor would escape the full rigours of the criminal law. Against this background, this thesis seeks to highlight the problems which exist as a result of the marked discrepancies between law and practice in this area. Attention is also drawn to the law's differential treatment of active and passive euthanasia and the difficulties and anomalies which arise from the legal characterisation of a number of other medical practices which bear some similarity to active voluntary euthanasia such as the turning off of artificial life-support and the administration of pain-relieving drugs which are known to be likely to hasten the patient's death. The thesis argues that active voluntary euthanasia should not be subject to a blanket criminal law prohibition. This argument is based on a number of factors including the principle of self-determination, current legal and medical practice, changing community attitudes, and jurisprudential arguments regarding the proper role of the criminal law. The conclusion of this thesis is that the law with regard to active voluntary euthanasia in Australia should be reformed by the introduction of legislation creating¬¨‚àë a very limited exception to the homicide laws that would confer on doctors an immunity from liability, provided active voluntary euthanasia is performed in accordance with strict criteria and safeguards. It is argued that the practice of active voluntary euthanasia by doctors in the Netherlands provides a useful guide to law reform in Australia.
title: Community Responses to Siting a Hazardous Waste Facility: The Case of the High-Level Nuclear Waste Facility at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Creators: name: Cramer, Lori A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: Quality of life is an important issue for residents facing potential changes in their social and/or physical environments. Potential quality of life changes are especially relevant for rural residents of southern Nevada who are currently facing the possibility of living near the nation's first high-level nuclear waste repository. Whether the effects of the proposed repository are perceived as positive or negative, they nonetheless alter residents' perceptions of their quality of life.
A theoretical model was designed to guide the analyses in this study. It suggested that residents have both current perceptions and future expectations for themselves and their community. When a proposed facility is introduced into the area, residents are forced to evaluate their future expectations in light of the new information about the proposed project. Based upon their new evaluation, residents will either support/oppose a proposed facility.
From this theory sketch, eleven hypotheses regarding the relationship between quality of life and support/opposition for the proposed Yucca Mountain facility are derived. Using survey and ethnographic information obtained from rural Nevada residents, these hypotheses are examined.
The results indicate that although residents from all of the study communities are generally satisfied with their quality of life, they differ on both the types of anticipated repository-induced effects and whether they support or oppose the proposed repository. A relative absence of predictive power by quality of life measures, when taken in isolation from other variables, was unexpected. For all study communities, anticipated changes from the proposed project emerged as strong predictors of support/opposition, much stronger than the quality of life variables.
title: Contact, Support, and Friction: Gender Differences in Social Networks
Creators: name: Cramer, Lori A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: This paper examines the extent to which personal social network ties serve as support or conflict systems, or both. It investigates the differences in perception of the extent of supportive/antagonistic ties by size of community of residence and by gender of network ties cited. It was found that both support and conflict networks were more extensive for the smallest and largest communities than for a second small community which recently experienced very rapid growth. This suggests that growth patterns may be more significant in understanding network relations than community size. The findings also indicate that range of contacts reported does not differ by gender but female support and conflict networks are somewhat larger than those of males. overall, males were identified more often as a tie in emotional support contexts and females in instrumental support contexts. Females were more likely to be identified as requesting support from both genders. Women reported more duplication of support and conflict ties than men. Both males and females are far more likely to designate same-gender individuals as contact, support or antagonistic ties. The study clearly supports the notion that networks include both supportive and nonsupportive ties.
title: Vulnerability of Cougars to Hunting
Creators: name: Barnhurst, Dan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Forty radio-collared cougars (Felis concolor) were monitored for 630 cougar months. Track searches were conducted and tracking information was gathered over a 20-month period. Vulnerability was estimated to be greatest for 0 to 6-month-old kittens. This age class is the most susceptible to starvation after being orphaned, or being killed by hounds when the hunter is unaware of their presence, since their tracks were found with their mother's tracks only 19 percent of the time. Tracks of 7 to 12-month old kittens were found with their mother's tracks 43 percent of the time. Relative road-crossing frequencies of seven classes of transients and resident adults were derived from sequential, aerial telemetry locations. Significant differences (P < 0.043) in crossing frequencies were found among these classes. A relative vulnerability index, based on road-crossing frequencies, was calculated for each class. Compared to an average vulnerability index of one for all classes, resident females without kittens, and those with 0 to 6-month, 7 to 12-month, and 13 to 18-month-old kittens, had relative vulnerability indices of 0 . 6, 0.5, 0.83, and 0.78, respectively. Transient females, resident males and transient males had indices of 0.93, 0.95, and 1.35, respectively.
After two years of experimental hunts, where the average density of harvestable cougars (kittens and females accompanied by kittens excluded) 2 was 0.71/100 km, hunters found an average of 1.3 tracks per day and started their hounds on 1 in 3.8 of these tracks. Treeing a cougar required an average of 8.7 hunting days and covering 559 km of road during track searches. The level of experience of the hunter and his hounds appeared to be very important in determining hunting success. How the differential vulnerability between cougar classes may affect the composition of the hunter harvest was also discussed.
title: Outcomes and Presurgical Correlates of Lumbar Interbody Cage Fusion
Creators: name: LaCaille, Rick
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: Rates of lumbar fusion surgery have been increasing with an estimated 192,000 procedures performed annually. However, satisfactory outcomes of lumbar fusion vary considerably and often emphasize technical success, such as arthrodesis, rather than Ill functional and quality of life outcomes. Interbody cage fusion was recently developed and touted as a superior alternative to existing lumbar fusion procedures. There is, however, a paucity of research to support these claims, particularly with regards to functional and quality of life outcomes. Moreover, predictive correlates of outcomes for interbody cage fusion have not been given adequate attention in the literature. The aims of this study were to characterize patients undergoing this new procedure, examine functional and multidimensional outcomes, and investigate the predictive efficacy of presurgical variables. A retrospective cohort research design was employed and entailed medical record reviews for presurgical data and telephone outcome surveys at least 18 months following surgery.
Seventy-three patients who had undergone lumbar interbody cage fusion were identified from the private practice of an orthopedic surgeon and the Workers' Compensation Fund of Utah. Presurgical variables coded for analysis included age at the time of surgery, severity rating of presurgical spinal pathology, smoking tobacco, depression, and pursuing litigation at the time of surgery. Of the total sample, 56 patients (76.7%) completed outcome surveys that assessed patient satisfaction, back-specific functioning, disability status, and physical and mental health functioning.
While arthrodesis was achieved for most patients (84%), almost half were dissatisfied with their current back condition. Outcomes regarding disability and functioning were mixed. Arthrodesis was only moderately associated with better outcome and for a quite limited set of measure s. Three of the five presurgical variables (tobacco use, depression, and litigation) were consistently predictive of patient outcomes.
Findings are discussed and compared to existing data on lumbar fusion procedures , and clinical implications for improved patient selection and possible interventions are highlighted. Consideration is given to the limitations of this study, such as retrospective design, no matched controls , and sample size. Directions for future research are suggested.

Geographic variation in courtship behaviour of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata
Creators: name: Ballin, Peter J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis attempts to elucidate some adaptive modifications of behaviour in response to environmental influences in geographically isolated populations of the guppy. Poecilia reticulata, Peters, I examined courtship behaviour of ♂guppies from three Trinidad streams which differ in several physical and biotic parameters. Males of two head-stream populations (the Paria and Upper Aripo Rivers) are larger and more brightly colored than ♂♂ of a lowland stream (the Guayamare River). Headstream ♂♂ are more conspicuous in their courtship than downstream ♂♂ in a one ♂ -one ♀ encounter: they exhibit more display behaviour and move around the ♀ more. It was concluded that differences in behaviour are genetic. I then investigated effects of ♂ interactions on courtship. Paria ♂♂ were much more aggressive than Upper Aripo or Guayamare ♂♂ upon encountering other ♂♂of the same race. Increased aggressiveness in P ♂♂ occurred in the presence of ♀♀, suggesting that ♂♂ fight over ♀♀. Display behaviour was reduced (especially in P ♂♂, who fought) when two ♂♂ were introduced to one another and a ♀ after an isolation period. However, no decrease was noted without an isolation period. Display behaviours decreased with the addition of a third ♂ in the Paria and Upper Aripo races, but not in the Guayamare. Increasing the number of ♂♂ generally heightened the level of ♀-oriented activity and reduced the distance between ♂♂ and the ♀. Preferences for fish of the same race occurred. When three ♂♂, one of each race, were presented to a virgin ♀ simultaneously, Paria ♂♂ fought only in the presence of Paria ♀♀, Upper Aripo displays were more successful in eliciting sexual responses, especially from Upper Aripo ♀♀, and Guayamare ♂♂ thrust more at Guayamare. Choice behaviour experiments revealed that virgin Paria and Guayamare ♀♀ respond selectively to ♂♂ of their own race. In another experiment, Upper Aripo ♀♀ responded much more readily to displays from Upper Aripo males. Females seem more likely to complete full sexual responses with ♂♂ of their own race. It appears that relatively light predation and good visibility have resulted in the evolution of displaying and fighting as the primary mating strategies in headstreams. Heavy predation and poor visibility have resulted in selection for downstream ♂♂ which display less frequently and rely more heavily on tactile signals to insure insemination. A simple model is presented to suggest how behavioural differences evolved. The results are discussed in light of other studies on geographic variation in color and mating behaviour.
title: Sampling Considerations in Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Needs Assessments
Creators: name: Loo, Ryan K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reduces the number of healthy immune cells in the human body. When the immune cells drop below a certain level, the person is diagnosed as having acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), which increases the likelihood of opportunistic infections. As a result, people living with HIV I AIDS (PL WH/ A) have an elevated need for medical and support services. HIV I AIDS needs assessments identify unmet needs, and the results are used in the allocation of resources. Failure to accurately identify needs due to nonrepresentative samples may result in PL WH/ A failing to receive needed services. Random sampling is rarely used, but convenience sampling may provide representative samples if the principles of generalization are followed. The purpose of this study was to assess the degree to which lack of representation is occurring, to assess the impact of lack of representation, and to explore ways to improve the representative qualities of a sample.
title: The Effects of Self-Monitoring Checklists and Performance Feedback on Study Skills of College Students with Disabilities
Creators: name: Mecham, Sherrie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: This study utilized a multiple baseline design across two study skills to examine the impact of a self-monitoring checklist and performance feedback on the implementation of study skills for seven college students with disabilities. The accuracy with which students performed study skills was calculated as a percentage based on the number of correct study skill steps completed during a college course divided by the total number of treatment steps. The results show that three of the seven students markedly increased the accurate use of the notetaking and study guide skills immediately when provided with a self-monitoring checklist and performance feedback, whereas the other four students had more variable results. However, following a booster session, all students' performance increased following intervention. Results were socially validated by students who indicated they were generally satisfied with the intervention and found it to be useful when studying for the college class.
title: Maternal and Paternal Attributions and Perceptions Related to Parent-Child Interactions
Creators: name: Ehrlick, Angela L. W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2004

description: Parent cognitions, including parent attributions for and perceptions of children's behaviors , are related to negative parent-child interactions and have been hypothesized to negatively affect treatment outcome in parent training studies. Specifically, parents who attribute children's disruptive behaviors to internal, stable, uncontrollable, and global causes and believe that they are not personally responsible for their children's behavior are less likely to engage in positive interactions with their children and successfully manage child behavior. Additionally, parents who expect their children to demonstrate aversive behavior and perceive their children's neutral behaviors as aversive are less likely to engage in positive interactions with their children and successfully manage child behavior. Parent well-being and child behavior have been examined in relation to parent attributions and perceptions, with previous studies generally indicating that decreased parent well being and increased child behavior problems are associated with more negative parent attributions and perceptions. Though parent attributions and perceptions have been investigated in previous studies, there are gaps and inconsistencies within the literature. Specifically, previous studies have not consistently considered both maternal and paternal attributions for and perceptions of child and parent behaviors, and the relationship between parent-rated and researcher-rated child behaviors has not consistently been examined.
This study examined parent attributions and parent perceptions related to child and parent behaviors within the parent-child interactions of 25 mothers, 15 fathers, and their children. The results of this study provide support for relationships between parents' attributions and parent-reported child behavior problems and parent well being. Additionally, significant relationships were found between parent perceptions of parent and child behaviors and parent-reported child behavior problems and parent well being. Furthermore, this study identified differences in parent attributions and parent-child interactions between mothers and fathers, with mothers viewing themselves as more responsible for compliant and noncompliant child behaviors and mothers sharing both more positive and negative interactions with children than fathers . Conclusions and clinical implications of these findings are provided.

description: The stability of the keyhole decreases for deep penetrated high-power laser beam welding. The keyhole tends to collapse with increasing laser power and e.g. keyhole induced porosity can occur. This study deals with the observation of the keyhole during high-power laser beam welding in partial penetration mode by means of a high-speed camera. A butt configuration of 25 mm thick structural steel and transparent quartz glass was used for the experiments. An oscillating magnetic field was applied perpendicular to the welding direction on the root side of the steel plate. The keyhole was highlighted with a coaxial diode laser. It was ascertained that the stability of the keyhole and the weld penetration depth were increased by applying an oscillating magnetic field with an oscillating frequency of 1.2 kHz and a magnetic flux density of 50 mT.

description: A recent study on the impact of mobility controls on the final size of epidemics by Espinoza, Castillo-Chavez, and Perrings (2020) found that mobility restrictions between areas experiencing different levels of disease risk and with different public health infrastructures do not always reduce the final epidemic size. Indeed, restrictions on the mobility of people from high-risk to low-risk areas can increase, not reduce, the total number of infections. Since the first response of many countries to the COVID-19 pandemic was to implement mobility restrictions, it is worth bearing in mind the implications of the Espinoza result when considering the effectiveness of such restrictions.

title: Community Factors That Correlate with Middle-Adolescent Antisocial Behavior
Creators: name: Kamenchuk, Olga
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: Many adolescents nowadays display antisocial behavior. A large number of theories explaining origin of antisocial behavior have been developed in the last several centuries. The current study utilizes the "ecological" theoretical framework that allows the researcher to consider multiple ecological systems in which individuals operate and to focus on the community factors influencing antisocial behavior.
The researcher used part of the Prevention Needs Assessment survey to identify which community risk and protective factors correlate with middle-adolescent antisocial behavior. Analysis included intercluster, cluster-item correlations, and partial correlations. Results indicated correlations between antisocial behavior and a number of community risk factors, and a relationship between antisocial behavior and language (but not ethnicity) of the individual. None of the protective factors were found to be present in this study.
Establishment of an agribusiness model for assessing the commercial viability of new species for aquaculture
Creators: name: Otton, DD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis develops a process for selecting and assessing the commercial viability of potential new aquaculture species. Currently a lack of understanding exists between science and business in the differing roles each discipline plays. The present study makes a nexus between the two and establishes a structured process for selecting a new aquaculture species that includes all stakeholders. To achieve this, the concept of agribusiness is applied to the science of aquaculture and both are disciplined by the new product development approach adapted from mainstream industry. The research instrument, a (qualitative) questionnaire was constructed from aquaculture, agribusiness and new product development literature, approaching new species development as new product development. Three transparent and successful finfish aquaculture industries; channel catfish in the United States, Atlantic salmon in Tasmania and barramundi in northern Australia were selected as benchmarks and surveyed. The survey measured industry success and sought industry participant's views on the attributes needed by a new species and its agribusiness value chain to deliver a profitable and sustained performance in the marketplace. The present study found that top ranking success criteria were common across the benchmark industries, diverging as the criteria lessened in ranking. The two most important criteria were market acceptance and ease of farming. A species with high market appeal may be unsuitable for farming, and conversely, a species well suited to farming may lack market demand. Therefore the most popular species are not always ideal for aquaculture, but rather species for which technology can be developed and are compatible with the agribusiness system, sometimes making selection and development a compromise. The present study also found that the results enabled construction of a Master Model for assessing new species currently under culture and made predictions about the potential for snapper, striped trumpeter, yellowtail kingfish and King George whiting in Australia. It also developed a Process Model to show the developer obstacles inherent in the pathway to fish species domestication and the species compatibility with the agribusiness system. This begins at the stage of new species idea generation and ends with retail consumption of the fish. The specific contribution to finfish aquaculture is developing a method to select a candidate species and predict its likelihood of success using a structured process. This process considers agribusiness, science and new product development factors, something that has not been not previously attempted.
title: On-Campus and Off-Campus Students' Ratings of Instruction and Courses
Creators: name: Saeki, Noriko

description: The associations of student ratings of instruction and courses (SRIC) with noninstructional variables (e.g., class size, expected grade) were examined in three instructional delivery groups--on-campus , off-campus face-to-face , and distance education courses. Factor analysis of SRIC from a 20-item form yielded two highly correlated factors , which differed somewhat across the groups ("Course " and "Instruction"; "Course/Instruction" and "Interaction Opportunities /Instructor Availability"; "Course/Instruction" and "Interaction Opportunities/Helpfulness"). The only educationally significant(r2 > .05) zero-order correlations were between SRIC total scores and expected grade, and were positive in all three groups(r2 = .07, .08, .06). In multiple regression analyses, 9%, 11 %, and 15% of the variance in SRIC for the three groups was explained by the entire set of noninstructional variables. Unique indices were consistent with the finding that expected grade was the only noninstructional variable with an educationally significant relationship with SRIC.
In a separate study, SRIC and the instructor's social presence in host- and remote-site groups were investigated. Remote-site students rated course management lower, on average, than host-site students did, and educationally significant, positive relationships were found between social presence scores and the ratings on four SRIC categories. In addition , remote-site students at smaller sites tended to rate instruction and course satisfaction, as well as the instructor's social presence, higher than students at larger sites.
In an additional investigation, students' ratings of teacher immediacy and reports of teacher-student interaction in distance education courses were analyzed. Host-site students tended to rate teacher immediacy higher than remote-site students did, and the negative association of site size with nonverbal teacher immediacy scores was educationally significant for host sites. Host-site students also tended to report more interaction with their instructors than remote-site students did, and mean reported interaction with the instructor was associated positively with site size and ratings of teacher immediacy.
Based on the differing SRIC factorial structures for on-campus and off-campus students, the identification of distance-education-specific noninstructional variables, problems with obtaining SRIC from students in on-line courses, and evidence on the noninstructional-variable-related theory of teacher immediacy, suggestions were made for future research on student satisfaction and perceptions of teaching effectiveness in distance education.
title: Differential Diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Depression: Potential Bias and Misdiagnosis
Creators: name: Berglof, Hollie K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: This study investigated whether psychologists are attempting to distinguish between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression in youth. Findings indicate that, overall, clinicians are conducting comprehensive evaluations and considering ADHD and depression as likely diagnoses. Clinicians were more likely to use self-report depression measures if the client was female or adolescent than if the child was male or school age; however, they were equally likely to incorporate ADHD-related measures with males and females , and 8 year olds and 15 year olds . Clinicians were more likely to consider adolescents than school-age children and females than males to have a mood disorder. Doctoral-level clinicians were more likely to consider a mood disorder and ADHD than master's- level clinicians. Clinicians who had completed a child psychopathology course were more likely to consider ADHD than those who had not completed such a course. The implications of these findings for child-oriented clinicians are discussed.

description: Recently proposed by Battistel et al. "predictive formulation of the NJL model" is discussed and its connection with the differential regularization is noted. The principal problem of this formulation is a non-physical singularity (Landau pole) in meson propagators. A modification of the formulation, which is free of the Landau pole and conserves main features of the approach, is proposed.

description: Internalizing disorders can have negative effects ranging from diminished self-esteem to suicidal thoughts and behaviors . Native American children and adolescents often face pressures that put them at increased risk for the development of internalizing disorders, yet research within this population is almost nonexistent.
Given the serious implications of and the lack of research on internalizing disorders among this minority group, the present study was designed to provide information on the rate of internalizing symptoms in a sample of Native American adolescents, and provide normative data utilizing this sample for the Internalizing Symptoms Scale for Adolescents. Data were collected using the Internalizing Symptoms Scale for Adolescents, the Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children.
Findings indicate that the Native American sample of adolescents are endorsing clinically significant levels internalizing symptoms at rates similar to those found in the general population.

description: We study the exact entanglement dynamics of two qubits interacting with a common zero-temperature non-Markovian reservoir. We consider the two qubits initially prepared in Bell-like states or extended Werner-like states. We study the dependence of the entanglement dynamics on both the degree of purity and the amount of entanglement of the initial state. We also explore the relation between the entanglement and the von Neumann entropy dynamics and find that these two quantities are correlated for initial Bell-like states.

title: Educator Supply, Demand, Attrition, and Out-of-Field Teaching in Utah
Creators: name: Robertson, Daniel Joseph
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: This monograph reports the results of a comprehensive study of teacher supply and demand conditions in Utah. This research was conducted under contract with the Utah State Office of Education. The objectives of this research were as follows: (a) analyze year 2000 staffing patterns of Utah schools and estimate the potential effects of future retirement on current teacher pools; (b) use enrollment projections and base-year pupil-teacher ratios to predict teacher need for each geographic area and content area; (c) assess the supply of educators from Utah colleges of education and identify reasons why newly prepared teachers do not teach in Utah; (d) assess rates of early attrition among new teachers and identify reasons why new teachers leave; (e) assess the extent of unqualified teaching in Utah schools; (f) compare results from this study with results of nationally representative research; (g) make recommendations for future data collection. Information for this study was obtained from the deans of Utah's colleges of education, the Utah State Office of Education teacher licensure database (CACTUS), Utah State Office of Education enrollment projections, Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget demographic projections, and two opinion surveys.
Results indicate that between 2001 and 2005 teacher need from enrollment growth will be greatest in elementary teaching and special education assignments; that approximately 50% of new teachers educated in Utah between 1995 and 1998 did not teach in Utah within 3 years, and that most of these graduates either did not seek a teaching position or sought but did not obtain a teaching position in Utah; that 40% of new Utah teachers leave their positions during the first five years of employment, but that few leave because of dissatisfaction with teaching; that most former teachers and nonteaching graduate s would consider teaching in Utah in the future; and that nearly 5% of teachers statewide have not been formally qualified for their assignments. Comparisons with findings from nationally representative studies reveal that the reasons for attrition among Utah educators are very similar to those of educators in other parts of the nation. This report concludes with a set of recommendations for making ongoing assessments of Utah teacher supply and demand conditions.

title: Binge Eating Disorder and Its Relationship to Bulimia Nervosa and Obesity
Creators: name: LaCaille, Lara Schultz
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: Recent research indicates that 2% to 4% of the population meet diagnostic criteria for the newly proposed binge eating disorder, and that it is much more common (30%) among the treatment-seeking obese. Although recognized as a significant problem, binge eating disorder is l1l not well understood, and there is debate about whether binge eating disorder is a distinct disorder. It has been argued that binge eating disorder is simply a variant or milder form of bulimia nervosa and not a separate and distinct disorder. Researchers have begun to study this population in greater depth in order to assess the characteristics of individuals with binge eating disorder, the similarities and differences between individuals with binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and obese individuals who do not engage in binge eating, and the effectiveness of various treatments for binge eating disorder. Previous reviews of the literature (using non-meta-analytic strategies) have examined these areas and have yielded inconsistent conclusions. Therefore, a more comprehensive, current, and empirical integration of the data was conducted.
In total, 297 studies of individuals with binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa and/or obese individuals who do not engage in binge eating were collected, coded, and statistically analyzed across studies (by calculating standardized mean difference effect sizes). The key characteristics of individuals with binge eating disorder were assessed, diagnostic groups were systematically compared, and treatment outcomes (from 19 studies) were evaluated. The results indicated that individuals with binge eating disorder have a number of differences from both bulimia nervosa and obese non binge eating individuals. However, the extent of these differences was not great, and there was a general trend for binge eating disorder individuals to fall between the two groups on most measures of disturbed eating and psychopathology. These findings tend to support the continuum/variant conceptualization of binge eating disorder rather than that of a distinct disorder. In addition, data from primary research studies on the treatment of binge eating disorder indicated that, overall, psychosocial interventions were helpful in decreasing binge eating and psychopathological symptoms, but were less effective at reducing weight. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed, as are suggestions for future research.
