title: Re-Configurable Putting Green
Creators: name: Ralphs, Matthew
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: This report discusses the design of a prototype transformable putting green that can be programmed to recreate the topography of any putting green. The goal of the design was to give a realistic putting experience with real topography in an indoor environment. This report discusses the design of a pair of 4’x4’ module prototypes; a commercial implementation of this design would utilize a number of modules to create putting greens on a more realistic scale (example 12’x32’). The design of a full size transformable putting green necessitates a topographical range of up to 30”. After initial concepts and preliminary designs it was determined that the budget was insufficient for a putting green with a full topographical range of 30”. To reduce cost while still providing a proof of concept, the design scope was reduced to a smaller topographical range. This design presents a 4’x8’ prototype consisting of two 4’x4’ modules each with a topographical range of 6” across their width. The prototype uses an array of linear actuators to create the topography. The actuators are mounted vertically in a frame and are placed in a square grid array. Each module contains a 6x6 array of actuators (or 36 actuators per module) with 8 inch spacing between the centers of each actuator. Each of the linear actuators has a vertical range of 6”. The actuators are attached to a subsurface to carry the loads between the actuators and to create a uniform surface. The primary purpose of the subsurface is to create a smoothly contoured putting surface that simulates the smooth curves of a putting green. Attached to the subsurface is an artificial turf that creates a seamless, realistic putting surface. Each module is controlled by a microcontroller. The microcontroller dictates the steps for all the stepper motors in each of the linear actuators. The use of stepper motors on the linear actuators gives precise control over the resolution of the putting surface. The micro-controllers are governed by a computers controlling function which dictates the steps of the motors. Power to the stepper motors is supplied by a computer power supply that runs on a standard 110 volt AC circuit. However, a 220 volt AC circuit can be used for larger module arrays. Each 4’x4’ module is self-contained and can be moved via castor wheels mounted on the base of each module. The electronic control interface between each module and the computer USB connection. Each of the prototype modules is 4’x4’x10” tall and weighs 250lbs. The cost to produce two modules with an included 10% over-run protection is $5,409.44

description: Strong lensing studies can provide detailed mass maps of the inner regions even in dynamically active galaxy clusters. It is shown that proper modelling of the intracluster medium, i.e. the main baryonic component, can play an important role. In fact, the addition of a new contribution accounting for the gas can increase the statistical significance of the lensing model. We propose a parametric method for strong lensing analyses which exploits multi-wavelength observations. The mass model accounts for cluster-sized dark matter halos, galaxies (whose stellar mass can be obtained from optical analyses) and the intracluster medium. The gas distribution is fitted to lensing data exploiting prior knowledge from X-ray observations. This gives an unbiased look at each matter component and allows us to study the dynamical status of a cluster.}The method has been applied to AC 114, an irregular X-ray cluster. We find positive evidence for dynamical activity, with the dark matter distribution shifted and rotated with respect to the gas. On the other hand, the dark matter follows the galaxy density both for shape and orientation, which hints at its collisionless nature. The inner region (< 250kpc) is under-luminous in optical bands whereas the gas fraction (~20+- 5%) slightly exceeds typical values. Evidence from lensing and X-ray suggests that the cluster develops in the plane of the sky and is not affected by the lensing over-concentration bias. Despite the dynamical activity, the matter distribution seems to be in agreement with predictions from N-body simulations. An universal cusped profile provides a good description of either the overall or the dark matter distribution whereas theoretical scaling relations seem to be nicely fitted.

title: Social Business: Maximizing Economic Value to Create Social Value
Creators: name: Jensen, Melody Alene
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Throughout the world, there are problems threatening the lives and livelihood of humanity. Where there are problems, there are people who want to fix them. But charity has shown to be unsustainable and ineffective in creating positive change in the long run. Some companies have chosen to go beyond corporate philanthropy or "corporate social responsibility" by incorporating a social mission into the core of their businesses. The ideals and mission permeate through company goals and strategies. This new model of doing business seeks to sustainably create social value. But this undertaking would not be possible without creating economic value through the fulfillment of business level strategies. Not only does creating economic value enable the development of social business, the pursuit of social value can be conducive to building economic value. The purpose of this paper is to show how pursuing competitive strategies of price leadership and product differentiation builds economic value, which then allows companies to create sustainable positive social value and impact. Five businesses cases are presented that address social issues through the pursuit of different business level strategies.

description: Context: Radiative feedback plays a crucial role in the formation of massive stars. The implementation of a fast and accurate description of the proceeding thermodynamics in pre-stellar cores and evolving accretion disks is therefore a main effort in current hydrodynamics simulations. Aims: We introduce our newly implemented three-dimensional frequency dependent radiation transport algorithm for hydrodynamics simulations of spatial configurations with a dominant central source. Methods: The module combines the advantage of the speed of an approximate Flux Limited Diffusion (FLD) solver with the high accuracy of a frequency dependent first order ray-tracing routine. Results: We prove the viability of the scheme in a standard radiation benchmark test compared to a full frequency dependent Monte-Carlo based radiative transfer code. The setup includes a central star, a circumstellar flared disk, as well as an envelope. The test is performed for different optical depths. Considering the frequency dependence of the stellar irradiation, the temperature distributions can be described precisely in the optically thin, thick, and irradiated transition regions. Resulting radiative forces onto dust grains are reproduced with high accuracy. The achievable parallel speedup of the method imposes no restriction on further radiative (magneto-) hydrodynamics simulations. Conclusions: The proposed approximate radiation transport method enables frequency dependent radiation hydrodynamics studies of the evolution of pre-stellar cores and circumstellar accretion disks around an evolving massive star in a highly efficient and accurate manner.

title: Ping-Pong and Power Plays: How the Redefinition of U.S. - China Relations from 1971-1972 Affects U.S. Foreign Policy Today
Creators: name: Allgood, Michelle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: In 1972, President Nixon visited the People’s Republic of China in an attempt to redefine U.S.-China relations. Since that time, China has progressed in standing and prevalence and is becoming an increasingly powerful influence in the Asian-Pacific region. The U.S. influence and presence in the Asian-Pacific region has been diminished by China’s growing power. This shift in roles will continue to influence U.S.-China relations along with U.S. relations in the Asian- Pacific area. Using the balance of power theory and balance of threat theory, I will analyze the circumstances surrounding the U.S.-China rapprochement from 1970-1972. An understanding of the events of that time will provide a context to study the current relationship between the two countries. Analyzing the early attempts to redefine the relationship between the two countries would not be complete without including the role which the former Soviet Union played in the development of normalization in U.S-China relations. Understanding the history of relations between the two countries, in the context of theory, will help provide guidelines for predicting how the U.S. will react to China's growing power. This understanding becomes even more important as China strives to become a powerful regional hegemon.

title: Influences of Disclosure Among Child Sexual Abuse Victims
Creators: name: Jones, Michelle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Child forensic interviews are essential in eliciting disclosures in child abuse cases. Due to the nature of abuse and the child victims, barriers are inevitable to obtaining a full disclosure. This research describes the barriers as well as the factors that increase the likelihood of eliciting a disclosure during child forensic interviews. Previous research has found that factors more likely to induce a disclosure are having a supportive primary caregiver, an investigation which was instigated by the child victim, and if the victim is an older female. Barriers preventing disclosure include threats made by the perpetrator, fear, lack of opportunity to disclose, lack of understanding of the abuse, and a close relationship between the victim and the perpetrator. For this research, qualitative interviews were conducted with child protection workers, social service staff and law enforcement who regularly conduct child forensic interviews to better understand the factors that increase the likelihood of disclosure among children, as well as the barriers that prevent disclosure. Findings from this research obtained from local practitioners indicate that factors that help elicit a disclosure include a child-­‐friendly environment, caregiver support, and connecting and rapport building between the interviewer and the child. The greatest barrier preventing disclosure was found to be the lack of caregiver support and the fear of the outcomes of disclosure. From this research we can better improve the way practitioners interview their child clients through providing a child-­‐friendly environment, ensuring support from caregivers, and the possible expansion to the NICHD child forensic interview protocol to better meet the needs of reluctant children.

description: We systematically search for classical open string solutions in AdS_3 within the general class expressed by elliptic functions (i.e., the genus-one finite-gap solutions). By explicitly solving the reality and Virasoro conditions, we give a classification of the allowed solutions. When the elliptic modulus degenerates, we find a class of solutions with six null boundaries, among which two pairs are collinear. By adding the S^1 sector, we also find four-cusp solutions with null boundaries expressed by the elliptic functions.

Blake’s printing house in hell : metaphors of illuminated printing in the poetic works of William Blake
Creators: name: Kobelka, Eugene John Dmitri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: William Blake was an artist and a craftsman as well as a poet, and he literally made as well as wrote his books of poetry. It is easy to see that, as an artist, Blake was fundamentally concerned with the physical production of his books of poetry, since for him, the physical form of his works was as much a part of their meaning as the content of the verse. But this primarily artistic interest in the production of his illuminated books also finds expression in the literary aspect of his work. There it takes the form of a carefully veiled, yet surprisingly consistent and detailed metaphoric discussion of the actual stages of production by which he created his famous illuminated books. By looking first at the metaphors in their most mature, most fully-developed expression, this thesis attempts to accomplish two things. The first goal is to clearly identify the vocabulary, imagery, and rhetorical patterns which characterize Blake's handling of the metaphors. Once this is accomplished, the aim of the thesis is to look back into Blake's early poetry in an attempt to plot the early emergence and development of these metaphors, and then to look forward to his later work to trace the metaphors as they evolve in conjunction with his myth and with his technical experimentation. In the early work "The Tyger," Blake is clearly infusing his developing myth with the elements of his process of production, but at this early stage, Blake is not yet tapping the metaphoric potential available to him. It is in the course of writing The Marriage of Heaven and Hell that Blake begins to make full use of the metaphors, and in the subsequent work of America, Europe, The Book of Urizen, The Book of Ahania, and The Book of Los the metaphors of illuminated printing steadily increase in coherence, detail, and frequency. But before Blake ended his poetic career, the metaphors per se seemed to lose part of their interest for him and in the later poem Milton, the relative frequency with which they occur drops markedly. Nevertheless, the general patterns of Blake's process of book reproduction remain as important structural elements of the poem —a testament of the fact that Blake's physical techniques of production exerted a fundamental influence on his poetic vision.

description: We analyze the influence of the charge and the degree of oxidation of the surface of graphene (Gr) on its interaction with cytosine and oligonucleotide r(C)10. This is a computational study involving DFT calculations and molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that cytosine interacts stronger with graphene oxide (GO) than with Gr, while the energy of the interaction of cytosine with GO only weakly depends on the degree of the Gr oxidation. A correlation between the shifts of vibrational frequencies of cytosine due to complexation with GO and the degree of the Gr oxidation is found. The adsorption of anionic oligonucleotide r(C)10 onto neutral and positively charged surfaces has a certain conformational similarity to conformations formed with similar van der Waals interactions. Also, for charged surfaces, the Coulombic attraction gives a noticeable contribution to the total interaction energy. For a negatively charged graphene surface the electrostatic repulsion between Gr surface and negatively charged phosphate backbone of oligonucleotide weakens the total binding energy. Competition between the Coulombic repulsion and the van der Waals attraction results in formation of a unique oligonucleotide conformation where all 10 cytosines are stacked onto Gr.

The strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma created at RHIC

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) was built to re-create and study in the laboratory the extremely hot and dense matter that filled our entire universe during its first few microseconds. Its operation since June 2000 has been extremely successful, and the four large RHIC experiments have produced an impressive body of data which indeed provide compelling evidence for the formation of thermally equilibrated matter at unprecedented temperatures and energy densities -- a "quark-gluon plasma (QGP)". A surprise has been the discovery that this plasma behaves like an almost perfect fluid, with extremely low viscosity. Theorists had expected a weakly interacting gas of quarks and gluons, but instead we seem to have created a strongly coupled plasma liquid. The experimental evidence strongly relies on a feature called "elliptic flow" in off-central collisions, with additional support from other observations. This article explains how we probe the strongly coupled QGP, describes the ideas and measurements which led to the conclusion that the QGP is an almost perfect liquid, and shows how they tie relativistic heavy-ion physics into other burgeoning fields of modern physics, such as strongly coupled Coulomb plasmas, ultracold systems of trapped atoms, and superstring theory.

description: We examine the validity of the weak coupling spin-susceptibility "glue" approximation (SSGA) in a two-dimensional Hubbard model for cuprates. For comparison, we employ the well-established dynamical cluster approximation (DCA) with a quantum Monte Carlo algorithm as a cluster solver. We compare the leading eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions of the DCA and SSGA pairing matrices. For realistic model parameters, we find that the SSGA fails to capture the leading pairing symmetries seen in the DCA. Furthermore, when the SSGA is improved through the addition of a term with d-wave symmetry, the strength of this additional term is found to be larger than that of the "glue" approximation.

title: A Step Towards Sustainable: The Meshing of the Mormon Church Headquarters' Environmental Earth Stewardship Practices With Modern Trends of Sustainability
Creators: name: Watkins, Natalie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Planners and landscape architects are decision makers whose commitment to sustainable development is integral in transitioning our built environment into a renewable and more self sustaining system. The built environment is a place where the three pillars of sustainability comprising social equity, environmental bear-ability, and economic viability are clearly manifested. The recent decades or scientific research in this area have offered us opportunities to make changes in the built environment that will better support future generations of our local communities. However, social and religious community structures can make change difficult on the Wasatch Front where the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is located. This paper addresses how principles of sustainability are incorporated into the built environment based of secular theories of best practice. The building and design of recent LDS Church funded developments will be explored as well for evidence of religiously motivated earth-stewardship practices. It indicates closure of the perceived gap in scientific and religious environmental ideals.

description: We are presenting a novel, Deep Learning based approach to estimate the normalized broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) of different stellar populations in synthetic galaxies. In contrast to the non-parametric multiband source separation algorithm, SCARLET - where the SED and morphology are simultaneously fitted - in our study we provide a morphology-independent, statistical determination of the SEDs, where we only use the color distribution of the galaxy. We developed a neural network (sedNN) that accurately predicts the SEDs of the old, red and young, blue stellar populations of realistic synthetic galaxies from the color distribution of the galaxy-related pixels in simulated broadband images. We trained and tested the network on a subset of the recently published CosmoDC2 simulated galaxy catalog containing about 3,600 galaxies. The model performance was compared to the results of SCARLET, where we found that sedNN can predict the SEDs with 4-5% accuracy on average, which is about two times better than applying SCARLET. We also investigated the effect of this improvement on the flux determination accuracy of the bulge and disk. We found that using more accurate SEDs decreases the error in the flux determination of the components by approximately 30%.

title: The Benefits of Exercise During Pregnancy
Creators: name: Hunsaker, Nikelle Holbrook
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: People are often confused about the effects and recommendations of exercise during pregnancy. A review of the literature demonstrates that regular physical activity provides benefits to both mother and fetus during pregnancy. These benefits range from decreasing the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus to improving the mother's psychological well-being and can be obtained without causing harm to the fetus. The recommendations for physical activity during pregnancy include thirty minutes of physical activity on most, if not all, days of the week. These recommendations are the same as those for non-pregnant individuals. Contrary to popular opinion, a sedentary lifestyle during pregnancy can contribute to the development of disorders such as obesity (in both mother and child), gestational diabetes and other disorders associated with overweight and obese subjects. A lifestyle that incorporates regular physical activity can combat and even prevent these disorders as well as improve the overall well-being of both mother and fetus.

description: The non-local vacuum condensates of QCD describe the distributions of quarks and gluons in the non-perturbative QCD vacuum. Physically, this means that vacuum quarks and gluons have nonzero mean-squared momentum, called virtuality. In this paper we study the quark virtuality which is given by the ratio of the local quark-gluon mixed vacuum condensate to the quark local vacuum condensate. The two vacuum condensates are obtained by solving Dyson-Schwinger Equations of a fully dressed quark propagator with an effective gluon propagator. Using our calculated condensates, we obtain the virtuality of quarks in the QCD vacuum state. Our numerical predictions differ from the other theoretical model calculations such as QCD sum rules, Lattice QCD and instanton models.

title: Interactions Between Emotion Regulation Measures, Depression, and Gender
Creators: name: Wicker, Rachael Kimberly
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Throughout history there has been anecdotal, observational and empirical evidence, as well as entire theoretical frameworks indicating that there are differences between men and women when it comes to emotional expression and regulation. For example, differences exist in how and why different emotions are felt in a given circumstance for men versus women and what behaviors these emotions elicit in others. Yet despite these differences the same questionnaires are used to assess emotion regulation. Furthermore, the same diagnostic criteria are used to assess mood disorders in men and women. In the present study the domains of emotion regulation assessed are: 1) alexithymia: problems with identifying, labeling and expressing negative emotion 2) cognitive problems and coping strategies in emotion regulation, and 3) behavioral problems and coping strategies in emotion regulation. Through extensive evaluation and comparison of subscales present in three widely used emotion regulation questionnaires, relative to depressed mood (the Beck Depression Inventory) and gender this study sought to determine:
1. Which of the three domains of emotion regulation (alexithymia, cognitive, or behavioral), if any, interact with gender in predicting the number and severity of depression symptoms?
2. Which emotion regulation domain involves the most problem and coping constructs that, in turn interact with gender to predict depression?
Reconstruction of Baxter Q-operator from Sklyanin SOV for cyclic representations of integrable quantum models

description: In [1], the spectrum (eigenvalues and eigenstates) of a lattice regularizations of the Sine-Gordon model has been completely characterized in terms of polynomial solutions with certain properties of the Baxter equation. This characterization for cyclic representations has been derived by the use of the Separation of Variables (SOV) method of Sklyanin and by the direct construction of the Baxter Q-operator family. Here, we reconstruct the Baxter Q-operator and the same characterization of the spectrum by only using the SOV method. This analysis allows us to deduce the main features required for the extension to cyclic representations of other integrable quantum models of this kind of spectrum characterization.

The Ecological Movement and Internationalism
Creators: name: Brüggemeier, Franz-Josef
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2016

description: The ecological movement is a very prominent, popular and influential element of the new social movements. Among them, it also has the most global outlook since many of today’s environmental problems have a global dimension and cannot be solved on a national, let alone a regional or even local level. As a consequence, the movement often takes up international, transnational and global issues; it organises its own international conferences and contributes to many others; it tries to coordinate its activities and can draw on its own international / global organisations. At the same time however, most of the activities take part on a local, regional and at the most national level. It is here, where most environmental organisations and especially political parties become well known and where they concentrate their energies. The same is true for environmental debates, which often have global dimensions but more importantly are shaped by national contexts and national or even local issues. At the same time, the best known global organisation, Green Peace, is organised hierarchically and run form a dominant centre leaving almost no autonomy to its national subsidiaries. Apart from this organisation, however, the
ecological movement is characterised by its international and global outlook, but derives its strength from and has its base on national and especially local levels.

description: We propose a "DFT+dispersion" treatment which avoids double counting of dispersion terms by deriving the dispersion-free density functional theory (DFT) interaction energy and combining it with DFT-based dispersion. The formalism involves self-consistent polarization of DFT monomers restrained by the exclusion principle via the Pauli blockade technique. Any exchange-correlation potential can be used within monomers, but only the exchange operates between them. The applications to rare-gas dimers, ion-rare gas interactions and hydrogen bonds demonstrate that the interaction energies agree with benchmark values.

description: Various real systems simultaneously exhibit scale-free and hierarchical structure. In this paper, we study analytically average distance in a deterministic scale-free network with hierarchical organization. Using a recursive method based on the network construction, we determine explicitly the average distance, obtaining an exact expression for it, which is confirmed by extensive numerical calculations. The obtained rigorous solution shows that the average distance grows logarithmically with the network order (number of nodes in the network). We exhibit the similarity and dissimilarity in average distance between the network under consideration and some previously studied networks, including random networks and other deterministic networks. On the basis of the comparison, we argue that the logarithmic scaling of average distance with network order could be a generic feature of deterministic scale-free networks.

description: The Gepner-like models of $k^{K}$-type is considered. When $k+2$ is multiple of $K$ the elliptic genus and the Euler characteristic is calculated. Using free-field representation we relate these models with $σ$-models on hypersurfaces in the total space of anticanonical bundle over the projective space $\mathbb{P}^{K-1}$.
title: Using Songwriting to Assist the Healing Process of Victims of Domestic Violence
Creators: name: Tanner, Rebecca Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Utah State University’s Music Therapy Program has a close association with the Community Abuse Prevention Services Agency (CAPSA) located in Logan, UT. CAPSA provides a variety of services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault including a fourteen-week women’s support group designed to help victims work through the therapeutic process of naming, accepting, and moving forward from the abuse. Fourteen modules have currently been written and compiled into a manual for these sessions. Once finished, the manual will be published and distributed to other abuse prevention agencies throughout the nation for use in leading women support groups similar to the present program. Songs have been composed that are musically and lyrically appropriate for this target population and specifically relate to the four large themes in this fourteen-module manual. The research results include literature on how music has been used in treating victims of domestic violence and the process of how five original songs scores and lyrics were created to specifically address the module issues and themes. The songs contain messages, structures, and feelings taken from first hand observations of women who were victims of domestic violence. The original songs have been professionally recorded, transcribed, and will be sent with the published group sessions manual across the nation to other abuse shelters like CAPSA.

description: Since the 1940s, antibiotics have greatly reduced the adverse effects of infectious diseases caused by microbes. However, due to excessive, and often incorrect, use of known antibiotics, many organisms have adapted antibiotic resistance. Currently, over 70% of known infectious bacteria are resistant to at least one antibiotic. In the U.S. , 90,000 deaths occur each year due to infection by bacteria resistant to antibiotics. This number has increased by nearly 75,000 in the last 20 years. It is necessary, therefore, to continue developing new antibiotics in an effort to keep up with increasing antibiotic resistance. Traditional in vitro and whole cell drug screens are inefficient. Unlike in vitro studies, in vivo studies can rule out toxic compounds early in analysis. They can also test compounds in the presence of important host/pathogen relationships. The action of an antimicrobial can therefore be viewed within the context of the whole organism, and not just at the drug-receptor site, as in vitro . Current in vivo testing is done in small mammals, such as mice. Mice, however, are resource intensive to maintain. Often, the antibiotic compounds being tested are toxic to the mice, killing them and creating a need for new miceB• Our lab group has proposed the use of the nematode Caenorhabditis e/egans for in vivo tests as an intermediate step prior to testing in mammals.

title: An Examination of Citizens United: Where We're Going and How We Got There
Creators: name: Lewis, Stephanie M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission (2010) has been touted as both champion and destroyer of First Amendment free speech rights. It remains a controversial decision of which we are only beginning to see its true effects. The case brought rise to the Super PACs commonly denounced in the media and the vast amount of money that comes with them. We have seen negative and positive campaign ads that candidates for election don’t have to answer to. In order to truly understand these effects, I examined the Supreme Court’s decision to determine its line of reasoning as well as media reactions to the case results. Many have expressed concern over a corporation’s ability to buy elections by using their monetary resources for political advertisements. Others have taken a more humorous approach to the case outcome in order to explain the new regulations, or lack thereof, to the general public. While it is still too early to tell just how much PACs could affect the election process, it is clear that there has been a large amount of money (over $88 million on the 2012 election cycle alone) spent on media (such as television and radio advertisements) related to candidates for political office. Most of these advertisements have been negative in hopes of dissuading voters from certain candidates. More in-depth research would be required to determine how effective these ads are and ultimately how much of a true effect the extra money has made on the system.

description: The system size dependence of dihadron azimuthal correlations in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collision is simulated by a multi-phase transport model. The structure of correlation functions and yields of associated particles show clear participant path-length dependences in collision systems with a partonic phase. The splitting parameter ($D$) and Root Mean Square Width ($Δϕ_{rms}$) of away side correlation functions increase with collision system size from $^{14}$N+$^{14}$N to $^{197}$Au+$^{197}$Au collisions. The double-peak structure of away side correlation functions can only be formed in sufficient "large" collision systems. These properties provide some hints to study onset of deconfinement, which is related to the QCD phase boundary and QCD critical point, by an energy-size scan.

title: Locking Down The N-Terminus of PRMT1 In Order To Assess The Role Of Motion In Activity
Creators: name: Rasmussen, Taylor James

description: Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are involved In many major biological pathways in the human body. Processes that demonstrate arginine methylation by PRMTs include, but are not limited to, histone modification, DNA transcription, and post-translational protein modifications. Although recent research has allowed the identification of several PRMT isoforms and exposed their involvement in these processes, relatively little is known about the details of how these enzymes perform their biochemical duties. It is currently hypothesized that the N-terminus of PRMT variant I is involved in recognizing substrates and aiding in catalysis by virtue of a change in its conformation. To understand how the Nterminal tail (Nt) of human PRMTI may influence substrate recognition, we made a mutant of rat PRMTI where the N-terminus could hypothetically be switched from a " locked down" conformation into a "free" conformation using a simple small molecule. After sequence confirmation of the mutations, different expression parameters were tested to determine optimal expression. The mutant protein was then purified from the soluble portion of the expression cell growth using Ni affinity techniques. Activity was assessed in the presence and absence of the small molecule diothiothreitol (OTT). The unexpected results of the activity assay show that the lockdown mutant is insensitive to OTT. These results have caused us to consider several conjectural, yet fundamental, theories as the hypothesis of the project evolves and future work is carried out.
