title: Molecules in diffuse interstellar clouds
Creators: name: Smith, Colin Adrian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: The existence of diatomic molecules in the diffuse interstellar gas has been known since the late thirties and from that time numerous observations have been made, at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths, of interstellar molecular absorption lines in the spectra of bright stars. The derivation of quantitative data on the column densities of the various molecules observed depends on a knowledge of certain molecular parameters, particularly the oscillator strength or f value of the transition being studied. Unfortunately the use of widely differing f values for each transition observed has led to confusion in calculating the true column densities of molecules along lines of sight. This thesis attempts to overcome the problem by scaling the quantitative data available in the published literature using a common set of oscillator strengths. Lists of molecular oscillator strengths for the major transitions observed are included in a review of molecular spectroscopy. The result is a catalogue of lines of sight toward over two hundred stars detailing the column densities of CH, CH+, 13 CH+, CO, 13CO, CN, C2, C3, H, H2, HD, OH, H2O, HCl, NH, N2 , CS+, CO+ and H2O+. Tables of each stars characteristics, molecular radial velocities and references for each line of sight are also included. Following a review of the current state of interstellar chemistry, the relationships between the molecules in the catalogue are examined using sample correlation coefficients, and correlation diagrams. The results of this large data set confirm modern chemical theories and show that ion molecule reactions are the dominant mechanism for the formation of molecules in diffuse interstellar clouds.

description: Deep $B$ and $R$ images of three Hickson Compact Groups, HCG 79, HCG 88 and HCG 95, were analyzed using a new wavelet technic to measure possible intra-group diffuse light present in these systems. The method used, OV\_WAV, is a wavelet technic particularly suitable to detect low-surface brightness extended structures, down to a $S/N = 0.1$ per pixel, which corresponds to a 5-$σ$-detection level in wavelet space. The three groups studied are in different evolutionary stages, as can be judged by their very different fractions of the total light contained in their intra-group halos: $46\pm11$% for HCG 79 and $11\pm26$% for HCG 95, in the $B$ band, and HCG 88 had no component detected down to a limiting surface brightness of $29.1 B mag arcsec^{-2}$. For HCG 95 the intra-group light is red, similar to the mean colors of the group galaxies themselves, suggesting that it is formed by an old population with no significant on-going star formation. For HCG 79, however, the intra-group material has significantly bluer color than the mean color of the group galaxies, suggesting that the diffuse light may, at least in part, come from stripping of dwarf galaxies which dissolved into the group potential well.

description: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic increasingly encountered in the clinical setting. It typically manifests as a respiratory illness, although cardiac involvement is common and portends a worse prognosis. We present the case of a 56-year-old male admitted with COVID-19 fulminant myocarditis and cardiogenic shock. We discuss important aspects of the multidisciplinary and interventional care involved in treating cardiogenic shock as well as the likely mechanisms of, and potential treatment for, COVID-19 myocarditis. The various pathways of myocardial injury, including direct viral damage, macrophage activation, and lymphocytic infiltration, are outlined in detail in addition to associated pathology such as cytokine release syndrome. COVID-19 is a complex and multisystem disease process; in addition to supportive care, specific consideration should be given to the underlying mechanism of injury for each patient.

Entanglement dynamics and quantum state transport in spin chains

description: We study the dynamics of a Heisenberg-XY spin chain with an unknown state coded into one qubit or a pair of entangled qubits, with the rest of the spins being in a polarized state. The time evolution involves magnon excitations, and through them the entanglement is transported across the channel. For a large number of qubits, explicit formulae for the concurrences, measures for two-qubit entanglements, and the fidelity for recovering the state some distance away are calculated as functions of time. Initial states with an entangled pair of qubits show better fidelity, which takes its first maximum value at earlier times, compared to initial states with no entangled pair. In particular initial states with a pair of qubits in an unknown state (alpha up-up + beta down-down) are best suited for quantum state transport.

description: In this paper, we make a detailed study about the $D\to V$ helicity form factors (HFFs) within the framework of QCD light-cone sum rule (LCSR) up to twist-4 accuracy. After extrapolating the LCSR predictions of HFFs to the whole physical $q^2$-region, we get the longitudinal, transverse and total $|V_{cq}|$-independent decay widths of semileptonic decay $D\to V\ell^+ν_\ell$. Meanwhile, the branching fractions of these decays are also obtained by using the $D^0(D^+)$-meson lifetime, which agree well with the BES-III results within errors. As a further step, we also investigate the differential and mean predictions for charged lepton (vector meson) polarization in the final state $P_{\rm L,T}^\ell$ ($F_{\rm L,T}^\ell$), the forward-backward asymmetry ${\cal A}_{\rm FB}^\ell$, and the lepton-side convexity parameters ${\cal C}_{\rm F}^\ell$. Our predictions are consistent with Covariant Confining Quark Model results within the errors. Thus, we think the LCSR approach for HFFs is applicable for dealing with the $D$-meson semileptonic decays.

description: In addition to generating the appropriate perturbation power spectrum, an inflationary scenario must take into account the need for inflation to end subsequently. In the context of single-field inflation models where inflation ends by breaking of the slow-roll condition, we constrain the first and second derivatives of the inflaton potential using this additional requirement. We compare this with current observational constraints from the primordial spectrum and discuss several issues relating to our results.

An Application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as It Relates to Children
Creators: name: Wright, Laura Anne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: This paper expounds upon a modem therapy which has emerged as an effective, albeit less conventional, mode for the treatment of people with Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is a therapy based on the premise that an effective way of coping with unwanted cognitions, such as those present in OCD, is for one to focus on life ideals and values. This approach contrasts with the conventional method of remedying the symptoms of a mental disorder such as OCD before pursuing life goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has several dimensions which will be discussed.

description: The OTELO survey is a very deep, blind exploration of a selected region of the Extended Groth Strip and is designed for finding emission-line sources (ELSs). The survey design, observations, data reduction, astrometry, and photometry, as well as the correlation with ancillary data used to obtain a final catalogue, including photo-z estimates and a preliminary selection of ELS, were described in a previous contribution. Here, we aim to determine the main properties and luminosity function (LF) of the [O III] ELS sample of OTELO as a scientific demonstration of its capabilities, advantages, and complementarity with respect to other surveys. The selection and analysis procedures of ELS candidates obtained using tunable filter (TF) pseudo-spectra are described. We performed simulations in the parameter space of the survey to obtain emission-line detection probabilities. Relevant characteristics of [O III] emitters and the LF([O III]), including the main selection biases and uncertainties, are presented. A total of 184 sources were confirmed as [O III] emitters at a mean redshift z=0.83. The minimum detectable line flux and equivalent width (EW) in this ELS sample are $\sim$5 $\times$ 10$^{-19}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{2}$ and $\sim$6 Å, respectively. We are able to constrain the faint-end slope ($α= -1.03\pm0.08$) of the observed LF([O III]) at z=0.83. This LF reaches values that are approximately ten times lower than those from other surveys. The vast majority (84\%) of the morphologically classified [O III] ELSs are disc-like sources, and 87\% of this sample is comprised of galaxies with stellar masses of M$_\star$ $

Development of a Genetic Marker to Differentiate Between Pulex irritans and Pulex simulans
Creators: name: Kearl, Colby Russell
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Pulex irritans and Pulex simulans are zoonotic flea vectors of plague and other infectious diseases. P. irritans have historically been known to use carnivores as a host, while P. simulans primarily parasitizes omnivores. To fully understand arthropod-borne infectious disease transmissibility and potential for geographical spread, it is important to differentiate between these two flea species. Traditional taxonomy uses the flea's male morphological features to distinguish species. There are no observable morphological differences between the female P. irritans and P. simulans. Molecular markers of the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS) have been successfully used in other insect organisms to differentiate species that are difficult to distinguish morphologically. This is due to rapidly diverging repetitive sequences found in the ITS regions. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers were identified for P. irritans and P. simulans and provide DNA sequence information of the ITS region. With this ITS sequence information, a real time melting curve PCR protocol has been developed. It includes multiple primers for a distinct single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the ITS region used in melting curve analysis. The development of a real time melting curve PCR identification method of P. irritans and P. simulans has the potential to aid phylogeographic research and understanding plague transmission in the environment.

description: A magnetized bead in a magnetic field seeks to minimize its magnetic free energy by aligning its magnetic moment with the field direction and by moving towards the maximum of the field's intensity. However, when the bead is coupled to a substrate it is forced to roll. The two otherwise independent degrees of freedom, translation and rotation, become tightly coupled giving rise to subtle and often counterintuitive effects. Here we investigate one such, easily reproducible, yet stunning effect : A neodymium bead placed on top of a laboratory magnetic stirrer. When the stirrer's magnet spins at slow rates the bead naturally follows the field. However, surprisingly, at high spinning rates the bead suddenly inverts its direction and runs, to the surprise of the observer, in the opposite direction, against the driving field direction.This effect, experimentally investigated in [J.Magn.Magn.Matter, 476, 376-381, (2019)], is here comprehensively studied, with numerical simulations and a theoretical approach complementing experimental observations.

title: Modelling student errors in physics problem-solving
Creators: name: Priest, Anthony G.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: The motivation for this work has been the development of knowledge about the behaviour of human problem-solvers that would enable an intelligent machine tutor to be designed. In the domain of Newtonian Mechanics, this breaks down into two necessary sub-tasks; how do people decide what equation to generate; and what do they produce when they do try to generate an equation? Although these are psychologically separate questions, an automatic tutor for the domain would need to make use of both kinds of knowledge. Therefore, strategies for controlling search in physics problem-solving are investigated, and a computational model of erroneous solutions is described. Experimental data is used to evaluate the model. Errors in the domain are classified, and the behaviour of problem-solvers predicted under certain circumstances. Prediction of Novice errors is a crucial ability for an intelligent tutorial system, and the error analysis implemented in the NEWT program is the main contribution of this thesis. The investigation has two principal aims: (1) To develop a model that allows a student's future behaviour to be predicted from an analysis of his past actions. It is argued that this is a necessary prerequisite for the construction of an intelligent tutorial system. (2) To identify the psychological mechanisms used by problem-solvers working in the domain. The thesis attempts to achieve these aims in two main ways: (1) A computer program called NEWT has been constructed, which solves problems of Newtonian Mechanics correctly, or in one of a number of erroneous ways. This allows human errors to be matched, classified, and in some cases predicted. (2) An analysis of published data leads to the formulation of a control strategy termed "planstacking". This is compared to alternative control strategies, and shown to explain existing data more adequately. The program is evaluated both as a psychological theory, and as a proposed student model for use in a computer-based tutorial system. The NEWT program was developed from the MECHO program written by Bundy, Byrd, Luger, Mellish and Palmer (1979), at the Department of Artificial Intelligence, Edinburgh University. This program was adapted to produce erroneous problem solutions by the inclusion of procedures to implement malrules observed in the domain.

description: Gamma-ray bursts can be divided into three groups ("short", "intermediate", "long") with respect to their durations. This classification is somewhat imprecise, since the subgroup of intermediate duration has an admixture of both short and long bursts. In this paper a physically more reasonable definition of the intermediate group is presented, using also the hardnesses of the bursts. It is shown again that the existence of the three groups is real, no further groups are needed. The intermediate group is the softest one. From this new definition it follows that 11% of all bursts belong to this group. An anticorrelation between the hardness and the duration is found for this subclass in contrast to the short and long groups. Despite this difference it is not clear yet whether this group represents a physically different phenomenon.

description: The increasing amount of research data provides the opportunity to link and integrate data to create novel hypotheses, to repeat experiments or to compare recent data to data collected at a different time or place. However, recent studies have shown that retrieving relevant data for data reuse is a time-consuming task in daily research practice. In this study, we explore what hampers dataset retrieval in biodiversity research, a field that produces a large amount of heterogeneous data. We analyze the primary source in dataset search - metadata - and determine if they reflect scholarly search interests. We examine if metadata standards provide elements corresponding to search interests, we inspect if selected data repositories use metadata standards representing scholarly interests, and we determine how many fields of the metadata standards used are filled. To determine search interests in biodiversity research, we gathered 169 questions that researchers aimed to answer with the help of retrieved data, identified biological entities and grouped them into 13 categories. Our findings indicate that environments, materials and chemicals, species, biological and chemical processes, locations, data parameters and data types are important search interests in biodiversity research. The comparison with existing metadata standards shows that domain-specific standards cover search interests quite well, whereas general standards do not explicitly contain elements that reflect search interests. We inspect metadata from five large data repositories. Our results confirm that metadata currently poorly reflect search interests in biodiversity research. From these findings, we derive recommendations for researchers and data repositories how to bridge the gap between search interest and metadata provided.

description: Irrigation contributes significantly to U.S. agricultural output and production value. In 2017, irrigated farms accounted for more than 54 percent of the total value of crop sales. Irrigation allows for agricultural production in arid regions where precipitation is insufficient to meet crop water requirements. In more humid regions with variable rainfall, irrigation supplements available soil moisture and provides a critical buffer against periodic drought during the crop growing season. However, surface water supply shortfalls during prolonged drought are increasingly taxing the ability of regional water systems to meet the demands of the irrigation sector—as well as industry, municipal use, recreation, and environ-mental needs. The irrigation sector responded by increasing its reliance on groundwater. This response raises sustainability concerns, as groundwater levels in many major aquifers supporting irrigated agriculture are in decline across the United States. The resiliency of irrigated agriculture under projected climate change will depend on how the sector—and the institutions that influence water supply and use—adapts to increasing water scarcity. Regional adaptation to increasingly limited water supplies may involve a combination of measures. These measures include: continued shifts in area irrigated, increased irrigation efficiency through system upgrades, enhanced water management practices, changes in regional cropping patterns, and shifts in water supply sources, including potentially novel sources of irrigation water such as recycled or reclaimed water.

I had been researching the ways in which creative nonfiction writers approached the realm of surreality in their work with my honors contract advisor, Dr. Jennifer Sinor. Sinor herself had written a piece ("Holes in the Sky") that dealt heavily in abstractions paralleled with the works of American artist Georgia O'Keeffe. While discussing the difficulties of expressing surreality in writing I made an offhand comment along the lines of "makes you wish you'd been a painter instead of a writer, huh?" to which Sinor replied, "You have no idea!"

description: In 1863, while the Civil War was dividing the East, a monumental project began in the West. Plans had been finalized for a railroad that would unify the country in commerce and migration. Two companies accepted the challenge of laying track across over 1700 miles of North American soil, from Sacramento, California to Omaha, Nebraska. The Union Pacific Railroad would come from the East and the Central Pacific Railroad from the West. Governor Leland Stanford of California broke ground for the project on January 8, 1863, and the line was finished at Promontory Summit, UT on May 10, 1869 (NPS, 2013). The 2014 Utah State University (USU) Concrete Canoe Team has honored the engineers and laborers involved in this project by basing this year' s canoe, Promontory, on this historic achievement of the 19th century.

title: Minority influence and social categorization
Creators: name: Martin, Robin Peter Adolphus
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: The aim of this thesis is to examine the effects of ingroup and outgroup membership upon minority influence and in doing so address a number of unresolved issues resulting from previous research. Research in this area is not only intended to resolve theoretical issues but relates to factors salient to minority influence in the "real world". For while there exist ingroup minorities (such as, environmentalists) there are also outgroup minorities (such as, black power). A model of minority and majority influence is proposed which is a synthesis of Moscovici"s (1980) Conversion Theory and Tajfel"s (1984) Social Identity Theory. This new model proposes that when individuals are influenced they not only adopt the source's advocated position but also recategorize themselves as part of the source's group. As a consequence of this recategorization, individuals self-attribute the typical characteristics perceived to arise from the source's group membership. Therefore, on public responses, influence will be related to the degree of change to individuals' social identity from self-attributing the source"s characteristics. The more undesirable the characteristics of the source, the less likely public influence will occur (since individuals avoid publicly joining an undesirable group). However, the more undesirable the source's characteristics, the more distinctive they are (in terms of attitude and identification) and the more likely they are to cause 'conversion' and have influence on the private (latent) level. A number of hypotheses from this model are tested with experiments that examine the influencing abilities of ingroup and outgroup minorities. The findings support the proposed model. The major findings are: (i) on public responses, ingroup minorities tend to have more influence than outgroup minorities. (ii) on private responses, the reverse pattern emerges, outgroup minorities tend to have as much, if not more, influence than do ingroup minorities. (iii) the superior influence of ingroup minorities over out group minorities on public responses can occur when the categorization process is based on a relatively trivial dimension but only when there is a basis to self-attribute desirable characteristics. When there is no basis to self-attribute desirable characteristics then there is no difference between ingroup and outgroup minority influence.

description: Shapley effects are attracting increasing attention as sensitivity measures. When the value function is the conditional variance, they account for the individual and higher order effects of a model input. They are also well defined under model input dependence. However, one of the issues associated with their use is computational cost. We present a new algorithm that offers major improvements for the computation of Shapley effects, reducing computational burden by several orders of magnitude (from $k!\cdot k$ to $2^k$, where $k$ is the number of inputs) with respect to currently available implementations. The algorithm works in the presence of input dependencies. The algorithm also makes it possible to estimate all generalized (Shapley-Owen) effects for interactions.

An Evaluation of an Auditory Neurophysiological Model
Creators: name: Waters, Alysha Nicole
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Individuals with normal hearing are adept at understanding speech in the presence of noise, such as other speakers or environmental sounds. In contrast, individuals with hearing loss struggle to understand speech in the same adverse conditions. Neural processing in the inferior colliculus (IC) of the brainstem appears to contribute to the ability to separate simultaneous competing sounds. A computational model developed in the Sinex lab reproduces the responses of IC neurons to complex sound mixtures. It seems likely that the model can be applied to improve the processing of speech in noise. The computational model's effectiveness at improving the processing of speech in noise is evaluated through a perceptual experiment which uses the model to process sentences that are then presented to listeners. The experiment's data are analyzed to evaluate the pattern of errors. The analysis shows that low frequency speech features are being accurately transmitted by the model while high frequency speech features are not. This pattern suggests ways in which the computational model may be improved. Possible technological and clinical applications of the computational model for individuals with hearing loss will also be discussed.
Non-Suitable Habitat a Cause for Declining Bobolink Populations in  Northern Utah

description: Bobolink, Dolichonyx oryxivories, populations are declining in Utah. I characterized the habitat conditions of known bobolink nesting sites in Utah and compared these conditions to those for nest sites in Wisconsin where bobolinks are abundant. My habitat assessment included identifying vegetation species, vegetation cover, pH, temperature, and precipitation at each site location. Vegetation cover different between Utah and Wisconsin nest sites. Precipitation varied for both locations with no correlation between water availability and bobolink presence. One possible driver for the reduction in bobolinks throughout Utah is the drastic increase in temperature. Other possible external factors include livestock grazing, edge distance, forb density, and the status of bobolinks as pests in South America.

description: The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), with a starting point in China, has spread rapidly among people living in other countries, and is approaching approximately 34,986,502 cases worldwide according to the statistics of European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. There are a limited number of COVID-19 test kits available in hospitals due to the increasing cases daily. Therefore, it is necessary to implement an automatic detection system as a quick alternative diagnosis option to prevent COVID-19 spreading among people. In this study, five pre-trained convolutional neural network based models (ResNet50, ResNet101, ResNet152, InceptionV3 and Inception-ResNetV2) have been proposed for the detection of coronavirus pneumonia infected patient using chest X-ray radiographs. We have implemented three different binary classifications with four classes (COVID-19, normal (healthy), viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia) by using 5-fold cross validation. Considering the performance results obtained, it has seen that the pre-trained ResNet50 model provides the highest classification performance (96.1% accuracy for Dataset-1, 99.5% accuracy for Dataset-2 and 99.7% accuracy for Dataset-3) among other four used models.

title: Mental practice and motor learning
Creators: name: Dickinson, Susan Caroline
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: This thesis is an investigation into the phenomena of mental practice, that is the thinking through of a movement, or movement sequences prior to actual performance. Using a gross motor skill it was demonstrated that it is the sequential, or cognitive component of the task that is most affected by mental practice, rather than the execution of the movements themselves. As a result of enhanced sequence learning overall performance does improve. Further experiments revealed that individuals can produce . novel movement sequences without prior physical practice of the task. Subjects demonstrated the ability to produce such sequences as long as they have information about the order and types of movements to be performed. Finally, an attempt was made to characterise the individual differences that might be associated with the capacity to use mental practice effectively. The literature on mental practice reveals that imagery may be a factor within this context. A test of imagery was designed, and its validity and reliability established. This test was used to screen subjects prior to participation in a mental practice study. Unfortunately, no significant relationship was found between imagery, as measured by the test, and improved performance on the task. There was however, a correlation between test scores and the rate of initial learning. The experimental results are discussed in terms of two proposals. The first is the relationship between mental practice and symbolic learning theory. The second is the possible role of such practice in the preparation of motor programs prior to performance.
Domestic Violence in Mass Media: An Analysis of Messages, Images, & Meanings in Motion Pictures
Creators: name: Delcambre, Renee Liana
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: The overarching goal of this research was to discover the framing strategies employed within depictions of domestic abuse and/or violence through mass media outlets and what potential impact that can have on the audience, particularly in assigning meaning to the topic. Specifically, this research analyzed the choices made in how domestic abuse/violence is framed within four popular motion pictures and the subsequent messages and meanings communicated. Findings from this qualitative analysis reveal common depictions of fictional victims being young, beautiful, naïve, and fully responsible for ending the abuse. In contrast, fictional abusers are depicted as young, handsome, wealthy and/or in a position of authority, with each being provided a pathological reason for their behavior. Finally, the depicted abuse in each film followed a similar path of predictable behavior from psychological manipulation and abuse to physical harm. The research method used in this analysis is derived from rhetorical criticism which examines communication symbols within an object or subject to reveal insights that ideally will aid in understanding and improving human communication. Media have the ability to impact an audience's construction of serious social topics and issues. That makes this type of analysis vital in revealing communication strategies used by film producers as they depict partner abuse and the unavoidable, subsequent effects it has on viewers, such as in the formation of cultural beliefs and attitudes. Finally, analyzing the communication of a serious, deviant practice like domestic abuse, depicted in popular films, can assist in directing needed attention to a major social issue and provide readers the opportunity to "see" and discuss what is normally hidden and left unspoken within most cultures.

description: Different transforms used in binding a secret key to correlated physical-identifier outputs are compared. Decorrelation efficiency is the metric used to determine transforms that give highly-uncorrelated outputs. Scalar quantizers are applied to transform outputs to extract uniformly distributed bit sequences to which secret keys are bound. A set of transforms that perform well in terms of the decorrelation efficiency is applied to ring oscillator (RO) outputs to improve the uniqueness and reliability of extracted bit sequences, to reduce the hardware area and information leakage about the key and RO outputs, and to maximize the secret-key length. Low-complexity error-correction codes are proposed to illustrate two complete key-binding systems with perfect secrecy, and better secret-key and privacy-leakage rates than existing methods. A reference hardware implementation is also provided to demonstrate that the transform-coding approach occupies a small hardware area.

description: Psychological researchers need methods for obtaining accurate responses from participants when using questionnaire data. The current study looked at the influence of negatively worded scale items on the overall scale. The NEO-PI (Costa & McCrae, 1992) and four versions of that scale were used to test the impact of negatively worded items. The NEO-PI and each of its versions contained differing amounts of negatively worded items. More than 1,100 participants were used in this study, with approximately 230 people responding to each version of the NEO-PI. Confirmatory factor analysis and associated chi-square tests and goodness-of-fit measures were used to evaluate eight hypotheses pertaining to measurement invariance. Results show that negative wording affects the measurement properties of scales. While it was found that negative wording does not alter the factor structure of the NEO-PI, attention is drawn to the fact that negatively wording affects the mean scores. Implications, limitations and ideas for future research are addressed.
