title: Seed rain and selected species germination and growth trials: implications for natural and augmented revegetation of post-dam Elwha River floodplain and reservoir sediments
Creators: name: Michel, James T.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
The removal of Glines Canyon and Elwha dams from the Elwha River in Olympic National Park, Washington State is scheduled to begin in 2011. This undertaking is among the largest planned dam removals and ecosystem restoration projects in the world. One of the challenges associated with this restoration will be to understand processes influencing revegetation and invasive species colonization on the sediments exposed by dam removal. To help characterize post-dam vegetation succession within the Elwha River floodplain and dewatered reservoirs, we undertook field collections of reservoir sediments and seed rain during summer 2008. We then conducted two greenhouse experiments 1) to identify seed rain germinants upon fine reservoir sediments and 2) to explore effects of reservoir sediment texture on germination and growth of restoration candidate native species and potentially problematic invasive species. Measured summer seed rain was relatively low (/m2) at three sites in the Elwha Valley. This suggests that, in the initial years following dam removal, colonization by seed rain may be slow, although the observed low seed rain density may have been a function of sampling method and timing. In the second seed sowing experiment, nearly all tested species (Artemisia suksdorfii, Rubus parviflorus, Rubus spectabilis and Rubus discolor) exhibited reduced capacity for germination and growth upon post-dam reservoir surfaces, while the invasive species Cirsium arvense was unaffected when compared to present-day river substrate. These results indicate a potential colonization advantage for Cirsium arvense on reservoir sediments in the years following dam removal. Depending on additional factors such as source population sizes, seed production, seed dispersal rates, and competition during establishment, this could allow for a relative increase in Cirsium arvense populations on the new post-dam substrates. These findings have implications for revegetation efforts directed at maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning on floodplain and exposed reservoir surfaces following dam removal.

description: This paper proposes a new algorithm for MIMO cognitive radio Secondary Users (SU) to learn the null space of the interference channel to the Primary User (PU) without burdening the PU with any knowledge or explicit cooperation with the SU. The knowledge of this null space enables the SU to transmit in the same band simultaneously with the PU by utilizing separate spatial dimensions than the PU. Specifically, the SU transmits in the null space of the interference channel to the PU. We present a new algorithm, called the One-Bit Null Space Learning Algorithm (OBNSLA), in which the SU learns the PU's null space by observing a binary function that indicates whether the interference it inflicts on the PU has increased or decreased in comparison to the SU's previous transmitted signal. This function is obtained by listening to the PU transmitted signal or control channel and extracting information from it about whether the PU's Signal to Interference plus Noise power Ratio (SINR) has increased or decreased. In addition to introducing the OBNSLA, this paper provides a thorough convergence analysis of this algorithm. The OBNSLA is shown to have a linear convergence rate and an asymptotic quadratic convergence rate. Finally, we derive bounds on the interference that the SU inflicts on the PU as a function of a parameter determined by the SU. This lets the SU control the maximum level of interference, which enables it to protect the PU completely blindly with minimum complexity. The asymptotic analysis and the derived bounds also apply to the recently proposed Blind Null Space Learning Algorithm.

title: The relationship between bat velocity, upper and lower extremity power and the rotational kinetic chain in NCAA Division II softball players
Creators: name: Teichler, Liza S.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
Fastpitch softball has undergone a relative resurgence in popularity in the NCAA in recent years as marked by a greater than two fold increase in participating teams and athletes. This trend has coincided with rises in NCAA employment of strength and conditioning professionals as well as attention paid to the generation of maximal bat velocity. The development of bat velocity positively affects the hitter's decision-making time, ability to make solid contact with the ball, increase hit distance and velocity. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant correlations between lower extremity power, upper extremity power and kinetic chain efficiency and linear bat velocity in NCAA Division II softball players. Performance testing was conducted on subjects utilizing the seated medicine ball shot put, medicine ball hitter's throw and countermovement jump in combination with bat swings. Maximal velocity of the bat's sweet spot was measured using a 7-camera motion analysis system. Bivariate correlations and linear regressions were applied to determine relationships between the performance variables and bat velocity. The most correlated performance-related variable was the seated medicine ball shot put (r=0.312, p < 0.05), which contributed to 6.6% of variance between subjects.

description: Latino adolescents are a growing population in the US (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020), and they experience disproportionately high rates of unintended teen pregnancy, STIs and HIV (Guilamo-Ramos et al., 2012; Martin et al., 2021). Also, adolescents struggle with high rates of mental health issues (Bitsko et al., 2022; Merikangas et al., 2010). Some studies support that psychological distress plays a role in teens’ sexual behavior and sexual self-efficacy (Lehrer et al., 2006; Seth et al., 2009; Seth et al., 2011). Yet, few studies have looked at the association between aspects of sexual health and psychological distress within Latino teens. This study conducted secondary data analysis using baseline data from a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of El Camino, a comprehensive sexual health education curriculum developed by Child Trends. Participants consisted of 474 Latino adolescents (44.8% male and 53.1% female) and they completed electronic self-report surveys (mean age 16.55 years). 84.2% of the sample was foreign born and 15.8% was US born. Results indicated that there was a significant correlation between sexual self-efficacy and knowledge about contraception and sexual consent (r = .31, p < 0.001). There was a small significant correlation between sexual self-efficacy and psychological distress (r = .12, p < 0.001). Psychological distress did not moderate the relationship between knowledge and sexual self-efficacy. Interestingly, the interaction term between knowledge and gender was statistically significant (β = -0.44, SE = 0.09, p= <.001), indicating that the relationship between knowledge and sexual self-efficacy is stronger for males than for females. The findings support that Latino youth may benefit from interventions that strengthen their knowledge and sexual self-efficacy, despite differences in nativity status and levels of psychological distress. Future studies should consider potentially important cultural, societal, and relational factors that may further explain these results.

description: Traditional continuous variable teleportation can only approach unit fidelity in the limit of an infinite (and unphysical) amount of squeezing. We describe a new method for continuous variable teleportation that approaches unit fidelity with finite resources. The protocol is not based on squeezed states as in traditional teleportation but on an ensemble of single photon entangled states. We characterize the teleportation scheme with coherent states, Schrodinger cat states and two-mode squeezed state and we find several situations in which near-unity teleportation fidelity can be obtained with modest resources.

description: Recently, extensive vortex lattice metastability was reported in MgB2 in connection with a second-order rotational phase transition. However, the mechanism responsible for these well-ordered metastable vortex lattice phases is not well understood. Using small-angle neutron scattering, we studied the vortex lattice in MgB2 as it was driven from a metastable to the ground state through a series of small changes in the applied magnetic field. Our results show that metastable vortex lattice domains persist in the presence of substantial vortex motion and directly demonstrate that the metastability is not due to vortex pinning. Instead, we propose that it is due to the jamming of counterrotated vortex lattice domains which prevents a rotation to the ground state orientation.

description: The electromagnetic enhancement for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of graphene is studied by inserting a layer of Al2O3 between epitaxial graphene and Au nanoparticles. Different excitation lasers are utilized to study the relationship between laser wavelength and SERS. The theoretical calculation shows that the extinction spectrum of Au nanoparticles is modulated by the presence of graphene. The experimental results of the relationship between the excitation laser wavelength and the enhancement factor fit well with the calculated results. An exponential relationship is observed between the enhancement factor and the thickness of the spacer layer.

title: The Behavioral Response of Harbor Seals to Seasonal Prey Pulses of Spawning Pacific Herring
Creators: name: Thomas, Austen C.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
The Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) is a noteworthy omission from the list of predators that aggregate at herring spawning sites, despite strong suggestive evidence that they are likely to respond to herring pulses. Working with the hypothesis that spawning herring aggregations are seasonally important prey for harbor seals, we tested several predictions using an analysis of harbor seal prey remains, GPS telemetry, and satellite-linked time/depth recorder data. Contrary to predictions, herring in harbor seal diet was comprised of 77% juveniles and 23% adults in the spawn season, versus 33% juveniles and 67% adults in the post-spawn season. Seal diving focus peaked at night during the post-spawn season, and seals exhibited less diving effort during the spawn season. Harbor seals did not however appear to alter their foraging behaviors to take advantage of spawning herring aggregations. The lack of response by harbor seals to spawning herring pulses is likely explained by seasonal differences in adult herring profitability, the availability of alternative prey, or a decline in local herring biomass.

description: Two-quasiparticle bands and low-lying excited high-$K$ four-, six-, and eight-quasiparticle bands in the doubly-odd ${}^{174, 176}$Lu are analyzed by using the cranked shell model (CSM) with the pairing correlations treated by a particle-number conserving (PNC) method, in which the blocking effects are taken into account exactly. The proton and neutron Nilsson level schemes for ${}^{174, 176}$Lu are taken from the adjacent odd-$A$ Lu and Hf isotopes, which are adopted to reproduce the experimental bandhead energies of the one-quasiproton and one-quasineutron bands of these odd-$A$ Lu and Hf nuclei, respectively. Once the quasiparticle configurations are determined, the experimental bandhead energies and the moments of inertia of these two- and multi-quasiparticle bands are well reproduced by PNC-CSM calculations. The Coriolis mixing of the low-$K$ ($K=|Ω_1-Ω_2|$) two-quasiparticle band of the Gallagher-Moszkowski doublet with one nucleon in the $Ω= 1/2$ orbital is analyzed.

description: The Bethe-Salpeter equation is a widely used approach to describe optical excitations in bulk semiconductors. It leads to spectra that are in very good agreement with experiment, but the price to pay for such accuracy is a very high computational burden. One of the main bottlenecks is the large number of k-points required to obtain converged spectra. In order to circumvent this problem we propose a strategy to solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation based on a double-grid technique coupled to a Wannier interpolation of the Kohn-Sham band structure. This strategy is then benchmarked for a particularly difficult case, the calculation of the absorption spectrum of GaAs, and for the well studied case of Si. The considerable gains observed in these cases fully validate our approach, and open the way for the application of the Bethe-Salpeter equation to large and complex systems.

description: We describe a method to measure the M-sigma relation in the non-local universe using dust-obscured QSOs. We present results from a pilot sample of nine 2MASS red QSOs with redshifts 0.140.1 AGN (including our sample and those of previous studies) have significantly higher BH mass than those of local AGN, so a direct comparison is not straightforward. Further, using several samples of local and higher-z AGN, we find a striking trend of an increasing offset with respect to the local M-sigma relation as a function of AGN luminosity, with virtually all objects with log(L_5100/erg s^-1) > 43.6 falling above the relation. Given the relatively small number of AGN at z>0.1 for which there are direct measurements of stellar velocity dispersions, it is impossible at present to determine whether there truly is evolution in M-sigma with redshift. Larger, carefully selected samples of AGN are necessary to disentangle the dependence of M-sigma on mass, luminosity, accretion rates, and redshift.

description: Co-production initiatives rely on citizens’ contributions to create better public services. Although the existing literature has frequently focused on citizens’ motivations to join co-production activities, few studies have investigated how and why citizen involvement might change during the co-production process. The article offers new insights about engagement in co-production by analysing a design initiative in Brussels, Ilot d’eau. Throughout the initiative, the four citizen collectives elaborated a specific decentralised stormwater system project that would be shared among the respective households. Even though each collective followed the same methodology, only two of the four projects reached the co-construction phase. The paper reveals how changes in citizen involvement in the process are impacted by the methodologies of interaction used and the citizens’ previous experiences in co-production. Furthermore, by examining the premature withdrawal of two of the four collectives from the initiative, the study shows why some of the changes occurred. In particular, the ambivalent role played by the local municipality during the development of the initiative together with the mediation of the organising team emerge as key determinants influencing citizen involvement.

description: We show that the elliptic parametrization of the coupling constants of the quantum XYZ spin chain can be analytically extended outside of their natural domain, to cover the whole phase diagram of the model, which is composed of 12 adjacent regions, related to one another by a spin rotation. This extension is based on the modular properties of the elliptic functions and we show how rotations in parameter space correspond to the double covering PGL(2,Z)of the modular group, implying that the partition function of the XYZ chain is invariant under this group in parameter space, in the same way as a Conformal Field Theory partition function is invariant under the modular group acting in real space. The encoding of the symmetries of the model into the modular properties of the partition function could shed light on the general structure of integrable models.

description: In the early to mid-nineteenth century, as in many other periods, the porosity of Texas’ borders and the mobility of people across them created a setting for contestation and negotiation of power and identity. Between 1822 and 1848, the constant shifts in control over a large geographic area, the nebulous identities of residents, and the frequent but often defied governmental decrees over issues like slavery and Mexican statehood prevented any one power from getting a strong hold over Texas. Despite this uncertain reality, a key tool of state powers, individuals, and business interests alike to get a handle on Texas were maps. This thesis will utilize the circumstances of production, the content, and the context of these maps to examine how an uncertain and contested Texas conflicted with stable and authoritative mapping norms. I argue that in this setting, maps functioned as tools of Anglo nation-building in a region seen in the United States as up in the air. Moreover, I argue that Anglo-produced maps funneled the instability of nineteenth-century Texas through a distorted lens that positioned Anglo Texans as the saviors of a wilderness not adequately maintained or exploited by its Mexican and Indigenous residents. I demonstrate this argument by using the maps themselves as central sources, as the representational images shown on the maps had significant staying power in the minds of the audiences which consumed them. This project aims to reframe nineteenth century Texas history as a question not only of actual political and territorial control, but of perception and projection.

description:
Because garnet strongly fractionates Mn, spessartine (XSps) content can be treated as a rock-wide proxy for time. By using Sm-Nd isotopic dating to discretely date cores and rims of garnet crystals, I associated an age with a XSps content, and used this association to indirectly date a set of garnets in a subvolume from the specimen, a Grt-Chl-Pg-Bt-Ms schist from the Pinney Hollow Formation collected at Townshend Dam, VT. Using high-resolution X-ray computed tomographic data, two garnets were selected based on size and accessibility for Sm-Nd dating. These garnets yielded rim ages of 372.8±5.7 Ma and 372.8±4.0 Ma (2σ); EPMA data for these gives rim XSps values of 0.02 and 0.03 respectively. Core ages were unsuccessful due to low Sm/Nd ratios in garnet indicating incomplete cleansing of REE-rich inclusions. Using the average of four published core ages from other Pinney Hollow garnets at this locality, the core age is estimated at 380 ± 3.5 Ma (2σ) paired with the core XSps values for the two garnets of 0.21 and 0.15. A linear relationship between garnet age and XSps has the equation: Age = (43.58 Ma)(XSps) + 376.96 Ma. Core XSps from 8 garnets within a 72 cm3 subvolume of the sample were analyzed, and yield "Mn ages" by reference to the age-XSps relationship ranging from 377.2 ±3.0 to 382.2±6.0 Ma. The estimated nucleation rate for this subvolume is 0.022 +0.032/-0.008 nuclei/cm3/Ma. The two dated garnets yield growth durations of 9.8±7.3 Ma and 8.0±6.6 Ma, consistent with durations calculated by other workers for this area. Incremental growth rates from dated and subvolume garnets exhibit sharp transitions and negative growth rates, but generally are higher in the core and lower in the rim. Attempts to fit predicted growth rate laws to the incremental growth rates are inconclusive in determining a kinetic control. Crude nearest neighbors analysis suggests diffusion controlled growth. These data represent the first application of a new method for measuring crystallization kinetics. As Sm-Nd isotopic age analysis for this garnet suite is refined, more detailed calibration of the XSps-age relationship will be possible, which will in turn result in more precise Mn ages for garnet subvolumes, and better estimates of instantaneous and time-averaged nucleation and growth rates. Nevertheless, as the first quantitative estimate of nucleation rate, these results represent a significant step toward a new technique for measuring crystallization kinetics.

description: Decoherence-free subspaces (DFSs) provide a strategy for protecting the dynamics of an open system from decoherence induced by the system-environment interaction. So far, DFSs have been primarily studied in the framework of Markovian master equations. In this work, we study decoherence-free (DF) states in the general setting of a non-Markovian fermionic environment. We identify the DF states by diagonalizing the non-unitary evolution operator for a two-level fermionic system attached to an electron reservoir. By solving the exact master equation, we show that DF states can be stabilized dynamically.

title: Modeling the effects of climate change forecasts on streamflow in the Nooksack River Basin
Creators: name: Dickerson, Susan E.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
The Nooksack River has its headwaters in the North Cascade Mountains and drains an approximately 2300 km2 watershed in northwestern Washington State. The timing and magnitude of streamflow in a high relief, snow-dominated drainage basin such as the Nooksack River basin is strongly influenced by temperature and precipitation. Forecasts of future climate made by general circulation models (GCMs) predict increases in temperature and variable changes to precipitation in western Washington, which will affect streamflow, snowpack, and glaciers in the Nooksack River basin. Anticipating the response of the river to climate change is crucial for water resources planning because municipalities, tribes, and industry depend on the river for water use and for fish habitat. I combined modeled climate forecasts and the Distributed-Hydrology-Soil-Vegetation Model (DHSVM) to simulate future changes to timing and magnitude of streamflow in the higher elevations of the Nooksack River, east of the confluence near Deming, Washington. The DHSVM is a physically based, spatially distributed hydrology model that simulates a water and energy balance at the pixel scale of a digital elevation model. I used recent meteorological and landcover data to calibrate and validate the DHSVM. Coarse-resolution GCM forecasts were downscaled to the Nooksack basin following the methods of previous regional studies (e.g., Palmer, 2007) for use as local-scale meteorological input to the calibrated DHSVM. Simulations of future streamflow and snowpack in the Nooksack River basin predict a range of magnitudes, which reflects the variable predictions of the climate change forecasts and local natural variability. Simulation results forecast increased winter flows, decreased summer flows, decreased snowpack, and a shift in timing of the spring melt peak and maximum snow water equivalent. Modeling results for future peak flow events indicate an increase in both the frequency and magnitudes of floods, but uncertainties are high for modeling the absolute magnitudes of peak flows. These results are consistent with previous regional studies which document that temperature-related effects on precipitation and melting are driving changes to snow-melt dominated basins (e.g., Hamlet et al., 2005; Mote et al., 2005; Mote et al., 2008; Adam et al., 2009).

description:
Building on Schattschneider's (1960) conflict expansion theory, this study sheds light on the changing role of critical citizens power to delay and defeat development projects. Little attention has been focused on the how the rise in critical citizens can potentially block policy adoption within large redevelopment programs. This thesis examines the relationship between the level of consensus among economic stakeholders [Port and City] and level of mobilization in critical citizens to analyze the pace of rebuilding Bellingham, Washington's downtown waterfront from 2005 to 2009.

description: Los Angeles Union Station, "the last of the great train stations," opened its doors on May 3, 1939, to a three-day "Romance of the Rails" celebration depicting the history of Southern California's transportation network. Half a million locals and tourists admired the Spanish Colonial, Mission Revival, and Art Deco architecture of the grand station that had displaced the Plaza's ethnic communities. Years prior, city elites who supported the Union Station plan had helped fuel the demolition of Old Chinatown and the repatriation of one-third of the city's Mexican residents. Through a study of Los Angeles' founding, an analysis of the racialized space of the Plaza, and the integration of city directories, maps, photographs, and Spanish-language newspapers, such as La Opinión, this research examines the architectural and demographic restructuring of the Plaza and the link between its transformation and the discussion of race, displacement, and the power of language and space. Inspired by H. H. Jackson's Ramona (1884) and the popularization of ethnic tourism, Christine Sterling's restoration of the Plaza's Olvera Street and her creation of China City unintentionally provided marginalized groups with new opportunities. This thesis highlights the Plaza's parallel to the Mexican and Chinese communities' resilience against discrimination, racism, and violence from the American conquest of El Pueblo de Los Ángeles (1781-1848) to the rise of the Chicano Movement in the 1940s.

description: We investigate the problem of counting 1/16 BPS operators in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory at weak coupling. We present the complete set of 1/16 BPS operators in the infinite N limit, which agrees with the counting of free BPS multi-graviton states in the gravity dual AdS5xS5. Further, we conjecture that all 1/16 BPS operators in N=4 SYM are of the multi-graviton form, and give numerical evidences for this conjecture. We discuss the implication of our conjecture and the seeming failure in reproducing the entropy of large 1/16 BPS black holes in AdS5.

Influence of XUV radiation on Pv ionization fraction in hot star winds

description: Different diagnostics of hot star wind mass-loss rates provide results that are difficult to reconcile with each other. The widely accepted presence of clumping in hot star winds implies a significant reduction of observational mass-loss rate estimates from diagnostics that depend on the square of the density. Moreover, the ultraviolet Pv resonance lines indicate a possible need for even stronger reduction of hot star mass-loss rates, provided that Pv is a dominant ionization stage of phosphorus at least in some hot stars. The latter assumption is challenged by a possible presence of the XUV radiation. Here we study the influence of the XUV radiation on the Pv ionization fraction in the hot star winds. By a detailed solution of the hydrodynamical, radiative transfer, and statistical equilibrium equations we confirm that sufficiently strong XUV radiation source may decrease the Pv ionization fraction, possibly depreciating the Pv lines as a reliable mass-loss rate indicator. On the other hand, the XUV radiation influences also the ionization fraction of heavier ions that drive the wind, leading to a decrease of the wind terminal velocity. Consequently, we conclude that the XUV radiation alone can not bring theory and observations in accord. We fit our predicted wind mass-loss rates by a suitable formula and compare the results with the observational mass-loss rate diagnostics. We show that for supergiants and giants the theoretical predictions do not contradict the mass-loss rate estimates based on X-ray line profiles or density squared diagnostics. On the other hand, for main-sequence stars the predicted mass-loss rates are still significantly higher than that inferred from Pv or X-ray lines. This indicates that the "weak wind problem" recently detected in low-luminosity main-sequence stars may occur to some extent also for the stars with higher luminosity.

description: In our recent study we have determined two new spatially dependent nuclear PDF (nPDF) sets, EPS09s and EKS98s. With these, the hard-process cross-sections can be calculated in different centrality classes consistently with the globally analyzed nPDFs for the first time. The sets were determined by exploiting the $A$-systematics of the globally fitted nPDF sets, EPS09 and EKS98. For the spatial dependence of the nPDFs we used a power series ansatz in the nuclear thickness function $T_A$. In this flash talk we introduce the framework, and present our NLO EPS09s-based predictions for the nuclear modification factor in four centrality classes for inclusive neutral pion production in p+Pb collisions at the LHC and for inclusive prompt photon production in d+Au collisions at RHIC at midrapidity.

description: The use of optical fiber for sensor applications is a topic of current interest. We report the fabrication of etched single mode optical fiber based refractive index sensor. Experiments are performed to determine the etch rate of fiber in buffered hydrofluoric acid, which can be high or low depending upon the temperature at which etching is carried out. Controlled wet etching of fiber cladding is performed using these measurements and etched fiber region is tested for refractive index sensing application. We report significant optical power change in fiber sensor at 1550 nm wavelength, in the presence of IPAsolution and also the sugar solution with varying concentration.
