title: A Study of the Relative Importance of Training on the Employability of the Mentally Retarded as Rated by Employers and Educators in Cache County, Utah
Creators: name: Hurst, John F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: Relative differences in attitudes between educators and employers concerning training of the mentally retarded within Cache County were studied by analyzing their responses to 40 questions dealing with Academic, Personal, Social, and Vocational Skills.
Academic Skills were found to show no statistical significance in terms of attitude differences expressed by educators and employers as they relate to successful employability criterion.
Personal Skills were found to show no statistical significance in terms of attitude differences expressed by educators and employers tested as they relate to successful employability criterion.
Personal Skills were found to show no statistical significance in terms of attitude differences expressed by educators and employers tested as they relate to successful employability criterion.
Social skills were found to show statistical significance at the .10 level in terms of attitude differences expressed by educators and employers as they relate to successful employability criterion. Within this area, a higher mean score was recorded by employers than educators (44.83 to 42.90). This refers to the fact that employers, more than educators, feel that Social Skills are more important.
Vocational Skills were found to show the highest statistical significance of the categories tested in terms of attitude differences expressed by educators and employers as they relate to successful employability criterion. The statistical level on this category was at the .01 level. A higher mean score was found within the employer segment of this category, 46.03, than that for educators 42.50.

description: Grounded in extensive literature review and primary ethnographic research in the Mexican immigrant community. Explores the role of social networks as essential sources of support and generators of social capital for Latino immigrants as they adjust to life in the United States. Whereas in U.S. 'American' culture, kinship is defined as biogenetic, Latino culture is characteristically more flexible with its interpretation. 'Family' includes extended relatives and even close friends who are incorporated into the tightly knit kin network via fictive kinship relationships.

description: Glasses obtained from vapor deposition on a cold substrate have superior thermodynamic and kinetic stability with respect to ordinary glasses. Here we perform molecular dynamics simulations of vapor deposition of a model glass-former and investigate the origin of its high stability compared to that of ordinary glasses. We find that the vapor deposited glass is characterized by locally favoured structures (LFS) whose occurrence correlates with its stability, reaching a maximum at the optimal deposition temperature. The formation of LFS is enhanced near the free surface, hence supporting the idea that the stability of vapor deposited glasses is connected to the relaxation dynamics at the surface.

description: In the presence of a laser-induced spin-orbit coupling an interacting ultra cold spinor Bose-Einstein condensate may acquire a quasi-relativistic character described by a non-linear Dirac-like equation. We show that as a result of the spin-orbit coupling and the non-linearity the condensate may become self-trapped, resembling the so-called chiral confinement, previously studied in the context of the massive Thirring model. We first consider 1D geometries where the self-confined condensates present an intriguing sinusoidal dependence on the inter-particle interactions. We further show that multi-dimensional chiral-confinement is also possible under appropriate feasible laser arrangements, and discuss the properties of 2D and 3D condensates, which differ significantly from the 1D case.

title: Optimal Allocation of Irrigation Water: The Sevier River Basin
Creators: name: Hiskey, Harold H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: Economic efficiency criteria are used to optimally allocate irrigation water in a closed river basin (Sevier River). The Basin is geographically divided into four subbasins. Liner programming model were developed for each of the four areas and used to generate value of marginal product schedules by parametric variation of water during the late irrigation season (after July 1). Differences in value of marginal product for average annual water deliveries were indications of a malallocation of late season water. A reallocation involving 28 percent of the restraining input (water) would increase net farm incomes (returns to capital, labor, and management) an estimated 10 percent.
All water diverted to cropland, however, is not used consumptively by crops, but finds its way back to the river bia return flows and is available for rediversion downstream. Total consumptive use is a function of the number of times return flow from an initial acre foot of diversion can be rediverted. This assumes, a priori, an allocation should be based on a net stream depletion concept where consumptive use values for water are used. To accomplish this requires an economic-cum-hydrologic model which takes into account the physical response by crops to different amounts of water application and consumptive use plus the timing and amounts of water available during the hydrologic cycle.
Conservation practices that increase farm efficiency--increase the amount of consumptive use from a given diversion or water right--will reduce return flows and affect the "tenure" and "security" of downstream water rights.
The results of this study conclude that an allocation based on consumptive use water values rather than value of marginal products for river diversions is superior. Likewise , values based on consumptive use provided a more logical comparison of water values in its many uses.

description: Ground-based characterization of spacecraft targets prior to mission operations is critical to properly plan and execute measurements. Understanding surface properties, like mineralogical composition and phase curves (expected brightness at different viewing geometries) informs data acquisition during the flybys. Binary near-Earth asteroids (NEA) (35107) 1991 VH and (175706) 1996 FG3 were selected as potential targets of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) dual spacecraft Janus mission. We observed 1991 VH using the 3-m NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, on July 26, 2008. 1996 FG3 was observed with the IRTF for seven nights during the spring of 2022. Compositional analysis of 1991 VH revealed that this NEA is classified as an Sq-type in the Bus-DeMeo taxonomy classification, with a composition consistent with LL ordinary chondrites. Using thermal modeling, we computed the thermally corrected spectra for 1996 FG3 and the corresponding best fit albedo of about 2-3% for the best spectra averaged for each night. Our spectral analysis indicates that this NEA is a Ch-type. The best possible meteorite analogs for 1996 FG3, based on curve matching, are two carbonaceous chondrites, Y-86789 and Murchison. No rotational variation was detected in the spectra of 1996 FG3, which means there may not be any heterogeneities on the surface of the primary. However, a clear phase reddening effect was observed in our data, confirming findings from previous ground-based studies.

Year: 1972

description: The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of 20 hours of remedial reading instruction as compared with 20 hours of vocabulary instruction on a select group of university freshmen in the Remedial English Program. Three measures of effectiveness used were comprehension, rate, and effective reading rate. The effective reading rate was determined by computing the arithmetic product of level of comprehension and rate of reading. The results indicated that for this particular population, using the materials and instructional techniques described, neither group increased reading rate at the .01 level of significance. The effective reading rate of the reading group increased significantly at the .05 level.

description: Within the context of constraining an expansion of the dark energy equation of state w(z) we show that the eigendecomposition of Fisher matrices is sensitive to both the maximum order of the expansion and the basis set choice. We investigate the Fisher matrix formalism in the case that a particular function is expanded in some basis set. As an example we show results for an all sky weak lensing tomographic experiment. We show that the set of eigenfunctions is not unique and that the best constrained functions are only reproduced accurately at very higher order N > 100, a tophat basis set requires an even higher order. We show that the common approach used for finding the marginalised eigenfunction errors is sensitive to the choice of non-w(z) parameters and priors. The eigendecomposition of Fisher matrices is a potentially useful tool that can be used to determine the predicted accuracy with which an experiment could constrain w(z). It also allows for the reconstruction of the redshift sensitivity of the experiment to changes in w(z). However the technique is sensitive to both the order and the basis set choice.

description: This project addressed four topics:  Pinhole leaks in nurse tanks were studied by radiography, serial milling, and side-angle ultrasound. These measurements indicated that welding surfaces contaminated by water, mill scale, rust, or other contaminants caused weld porosity that caused greatly accelerated metal fatigue of remaining non-porous wall thicknesses, which rapidly led to complete tank wall penetration, causing slow leakage of NH3.  Stress corrosion crack (SCC) growth rates were measured in three different ammonia solutions. These tests showed that neither nitrogen purging of a tank’s vapor space during filling nor adding N-Serve to ammonia changed crack growth rates.  Neutron diffraction analysis on a nurse tank given an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) protocol post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) lowered residual hoop stress near welds by two-thirds and lowered residual axial stress near welds by one-third. Since residual stress drives initiation and propagation of stress corrosion cracking, these findings suggest that SCC should be greatly reduced by PWHT in tank manufacture.  Side-angle ultrasound measurements of welds in 532 in-service nurse tanks showed that 40 percent of the tanks had no observable cracks, and the remaining 60 percent of tanks contained a total of 3,326 indications. Cracks are most common in tank heads near the circumferential welds in the vapor space near the tanks’ tops. Newer tanks manufactured using thinner steel have substantially more indications, and tanks with greater porosity in their welds appear to have more indications.

description: A single political issue, public financing of a sewage treatment facility for the city of Logan, was studied in an attempt to determine the effect of certain variables on the formation of public policy.
The case study method of research was followed, and conclusions were based on data obtained through personal interviews as well as through study of public documents.
Among factors which influenced the decisional process was the degree to which technological knowledge was accepted. Policies developed by the state legislature and the federal bureaucracy to deal with environmental pollution also affected the local situation. A conflict which arose over interpretation of certain of these policies was largely resolved in court.

description: The proton synchrotron radiation is considered as the origin of high-energy emission of blazars at times. However, extreme physical parameters are often required. In this work, we propose an analytical method to study the parameter space when applying the proton synchrotron radiation to fit the keV, GeV, and very-high-energy emission of blazar jets. We find that proton synchrotron radiation can fit the high-energy hump when it peaks beyond tens GeV without violating basic observations and theories. For the high-energy hump peaked around GeV band, extreme parameters, such as a super-Eddington jet power and a very strong magnetic field, are required. For the high-energy hump peaked around keV band, if an acceptable parameter space can be found depends on the object's keV luminosity.

description: The nature of the hard X-ray source XSSJ12270-4859 is still unclear though it was claimed to be a magnetic Cataclysmic Variable. We here present a broad-band X-ray and gamma ray study based on a recent XMM-Newton observation and archival INTEGRAL and RXTE data. From the Fermi/LAT 1-year point source catalogue, we tentatively associate XSSJ12270-4859 with 1FGLJ1227.9-4852, a source of high energy gamma rays with emission up to 10GeV. We complement the study with UV photometry from XMM-Newton and ground-based optical and near-IR photometry. The X-ray emission is highly variable showing flares and intensity dips. The X-ray flares consist of flare-dip pairs. Flares are also detected in the UV range but not the dips. Aperiodic dipping behaviour is also observed during X-ray quiescence but not in the UV. The 0.2-100keV spectrum is featureless and described by a power law model with Gamma=1.7. The 100MeV-10GeV spectrum is instead represented by a power law index of 2.45. The luminosity ratio between 0.1-100GeV and 0.2--100keV is ~0.8, hence the GeV emission is a significant component of the total energy output. Furthermore, the X-ray spectrum does not greatly change during flares, quiescence and the dips seen in quiescence but it hardens during the post-flare dips. Optical photometry reveals a period of 4.32hr likely related to the binary orbit. Near-IR, possibly ellipsoidal, variations are detected. Large amplitude variability on shorter (tens mins) timescales are found to be non-periodic. The observed variability at all wavelengths and the spectral characteristics strongly favour a low-mass atypical low-luminosity X-ray binary and are against a Cataclysmic Variable nature. The association with a Fermi/LAT high energy gamma ray source further strengths this interpretation.

description: Nudging is a burgeoning topic in science and in policy, but evidence on the effectiveness of nudges among differentially-incentivized groups is lacking. This paper exploits regional variations in the roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccine in Sweden to examine the effect of a nudge on groups whose intrinsic incentives are different: 16-17-year-olds, for whom Covid-19 is not dangerous, and 50-59-year-olds, who face a substantial risk of death or severe dis-ease. We find a significantly stronger response in the younger group, consistent with the theory that nudges are more effective for choices that are not meaningful to the individual.

description: Chiral light-matter interactions supported by topological edge modes at the interface of valley photonic crystals provide a robust method to implement the unidirectional spin transfer. The valley topological photonic crystals possess a pair of counterpropagating edge modes. The edge modes are robust against the sharp bend of $60^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$, which can form a resonator with whispering gallery modes. Here, we demonstrate the asymmetric emission of chiral coupling from single quantum dots in a topological resonator by tuning the coupling between a quantum emitter and a resonator mode. Under a magnetic field in Faraday configuration, the exciton state from a single quantum dot splits into two exciton spin states with opposite circularly polarized emissions due to Zeeman effect. Two branches of the quantum dot emissions couple to a resonator mode in different degrees, resulting in an asymmetric chiral emission. Without the demanding of site-control of quantum emitters for chiral quantum optics, an extra degree of freedom to tune the chiral contrast with a topological resonator could be useful for the development of on-chip integrated photonic circuits.

description: The goal of the present study is to examine pretreatment with Schiff bases and derivatives of pregabalin along with their metal (Zn and Cu) complexes on the severity of epilepsy, latency time, duration of convulsions, seizure score and survival rate in mice. To achieve the goal, a molecular docking study of analogues was carried out on a specific molecular target, such as the alpha-2δ receptor (PDB ID: 6ND9); which revealed the significant binding affinity of the analogs to their respective target. Based on the docking information, all pregabalin derivatives were synthesized and in-vivo antiepileptic effect was confirmed by applying the PTZ model that prioritized the most crucial significant points responsible for biological activity. The test compounds markedly increased the latency of the first seizure and reduced the frequency of seizures throughout the body and frequent spinning and jumps. Additionally, treatment with pregabalin derivatives in mice that received PTZ significantly reduced the duration of seizures and seizure score. However, it increased the survival rate of the mice. Since the newly synthesized compounds were more active as compared to the parent drug in some respects; therefore, the expansion of the project can be planned to explore clinical side of the drugs in the future.

description: The purpose of FMCSA’s SmartPark initiative is to determine the feasibility of a technology for providing truck parking space availability in real time to truckers on the road. SmartPark consists of two phases. Phase I was a field operational test (FOT) to determine the accuracy and reliability of a technology for counting truck parking space availability. Phase II focuses on disseminating truck parking availability information and determining whether the technology can be deployed to divert trucks from a filled to an unfilled parking area. This document is the final report for Phase I. In Phase I, three combinations of different technologies were subjected to field testing to ascertain their feasibility for determining truck parking space availability in real time: side (SID) scanners, overhead (OH) scanners, and light curtains (CURs), each combined with Doppler radar.

The most optimal configuration of technologies is a SID scanner combined with Doppler radar at both the ingress and egress points of the selected truck parking area. Other findings and recommendations pertain to the trade-off between accuracy and the frequency of ground-truth correction, qualitative reporting of truck parking availability to address uncertainty when the parking area is nearly full, required time for stabilizing the system, use of a vehicle classification scheme that reduces the number of vehicle classes, increased bandwidth in data transmission, and enhanced surveillance and monitoring with closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras.

description: Commercial titanium alloy Ti-3Al-2.5V became one of the most widely used titanium alloys after its introduction in the early seventies. It has a very attractive combination of tensile strength, creep strength, toughness and high-temperature stability for long-term applications up to 425ºC. It is used for gas turbine components and in other applications where this good combination of properties is required [1]. At the same time it has poor tribological properties that are typical of most of the titanium alloys. It has low surface hardness and wear resistance. These disadvantages of the material limit its application [1], [2]. Ti-3Al-2.5V was chosen for this experimental work because it showed a good plasma gas nitriding performance in comparison with the other alloys during the tests.

description: Discrete frequency-bin entanglement is an essential resource for applications in quantum information processing. In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate a scheme to generate discrete frequency-bin entanglement with a single piece of periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide in a modified Sagnac interferometer. Correlated two-photon states in both directions of the Sagnac interferometer are generated through cascaded second-order optical nonlinear processes. A relative phase difference between the two states is introduced by changing the polarization state of pump light, thus manipulating the two-photon state at the output of the Sagnac interferometer. The generated two-photon state is sent into a fiber polarization splitter, then a pure discrete frequency-bin entangled two-photon state is obtained by setting the pump light. The frequency entanglement property is measured by a spatial quantum beating with a visibility of $96.0 \pm 6.1\%$. The density matrix is further obtained with a fidelity of $98.0 \pm 3.0\%$ to the ideal state. Our demonstration provides a promising method for the generation of pure discrete frequency-bin entanglement at telecom band, which is desired in quantum photonics.

Experimental study of strain wave propagation in quarter-hard electrolyic copper bars
Creators: name: Anderson, Clifford John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Specimens of quarter-hard electrolytic copper, twenty feet in length and one-quarter inch in diameter, were statically pre-stressed and subjected to impact loading. Dynamic strain vs time traces, for both loading and unloading waves, were obtained using resistance-type strain gages mounted at various positions along the specimens. Permanent strain increments resulting from each impact were determined. Prestress levels ranged from values well below the yield point of the material to values exceeding the yield point. Impact velocities and impact durations were also varied. The experimental strain wave shape and propagation velocity in bars prestressed well below the yield point were found to compare favorably with the theoretical elastic wave shape and velocity. The unloading waves propagated in bars prestressed above the yield point were found to be similar in shape to the elastic waves observed and to propagate at the elastic velocity without diminution of amplitude. For loading waves propagated in material prestressed above the yield point the incipient portion of plastic strain waves was found to propagate at the elastic velocity. The lower strain increments of the plastic strain waves were found to propagate at higher velocities and the highest strain increments were found to propagate at lower velocities than would be predicted from a strain-rate-independent theory. For the loading waves, a method was developed to approximate the dynamic loading curves (stress-strain relation followed during impact loading). Prom the dynamic loading curves, the peak stress levels of the plastic strain pulses were found to be significantly higher than the stresses at equivalent strains on the static stress-strain curve. The results tended, at least qualitatively, to support a strain-rate-dependent wave propagation theory rather than a strain-rate-independent one.

description: The possibility that the apparent room temperature ferromagnetism, often measured in Co-doped ZnO, is due to uncompensated spins at the surface of wurtzite CoO nanoclusters is investigated by means of a combination of density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the critical temperature extracted from the specific heat systematically drops as the cluster size is reduced, regardless of the particular cluster shape. Furthermore the presence of defects, in the form of missing magnetic sites, further reduces $T_\mathrm{C}$. This suggests that even a spinodal decomposed phase is unlikely to sustain room temperature ferromagnetism in ZnO:Co.

description: The effect of sputtering power ($P$=60 W-180 W) on the electrochromic properties of nickel oxide films deposited on ITO-coated glass substrates by the RF magnetron sputtering technique was investigated. Crystalline structure and morphology were assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The effect of sputtering power on electrochromism of the samples was evaluated with cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. We used LiClO$_4$ in propilene carbonate solution for Li insertion/extraction. The chemical composition of the samples before and after Li intercalation was analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We observed the cubic phase of NiO with sputtering power mainly affecting crystallinity and grain size. These in turn affect the electrochromic properties. Coloration efficiency reduces from 24.4 cm$^{2}$/C to (15.4, 13.7. 16.1) cm$^{2}$/C and the reversibility from 40% to 30% as sputtering power increases from 60 W to 180 W. The impedance spectra indicates that ion diffusion is larger for the film grown at 60 W and then goes down for the films deposited at higher sputtering powers. XPS analysis reveals that higher values of $P$ promote the formation of nickel hydroxides on the film surface. As consequence of changes in crystallinity and morphology, the presence of nickel hydroxides increases, showing that not only the electrochromic properties of the samples are affected by the sputtering power but also their chemical composition.

description: Agile manufacturing is a production concept that was originally developed at the Iaccoca Institute of Lehigh University (USA). The purpose was to develop a proposal on how the US could regain its supremacy in manufacturing.
The objective of this thesis is to apply the agile manufacturing concept to the metal forming industry and to develop a recommendation of action how the press manufacturers can support their customers in dealing with volatile markets in an efficient way. For that reason production technology requirements are developed that should highlight characteristics of a production line that is essential to become “agile”.
As a point of departure a literature research has been carried out to determine what has already been published about “agile” production requirements and how other industries deal with volatile markets.
In a next step interviews with industry experts have been carried out to verify the findings of the literature review. The findings were documented in case studies which where the basis for the derivation of the production technology requirements that are relevant for the metal forming industry

description: Knowledge management is a trend that is increasingly widespread in business circles and small companies as well as in the larger organizational structures. The concept of knowledge management is increasing and becomes the basis for quality and successful functionality of every organization. Organizations that use the potential of human resources as primary resource in dealing with the application of knowledge management have significantly improved the performance with reduced costs and increased quality of products or services. With the application of information technology in knowledge management a decentralization is achieved and therefore it facilitates the expansion of foreign markets.
The subject of this research will be the systems for knowledge management, their relationship with the organizational learning, and the role of information technology in these systems.
The purpose of this research is to recognize the importance and the benefits of managing knowledge and to perceive the role of information technology in knowledge management in enterprises in Republic of Macedonia, in order to achieve competitive advantage and long-term profitability.

description: This research project studied causes and possible remediation inspection strategies to prevent failures for anhydrous ammonia (NH3) nurse tanks. Nurse tanks are steel tanks used to transport NH3 locally over public roadways and farm fields. Many of the reportedly 200,000 nurse tanks in use in the United States are 3 to 5 decades old. Several tank failures have occurred in recent years. Nurse tank failures can injure workers and bystanders by way of chemical burns, frostbite, suffocation, and physical injuries caused by the catastrophic force of rupture. This research study addressed this problem by: surveying the technical literature on nurse tank properties and case studies of tank failures; examination of 20 used nurse tanks by metallography, glow discharge spectroscopy, neutron diffraction analysis of residual stresses, ultrasound, and fluorescent dye penetrant examination for cracks. It exposed 56 specimens of the commonly used tank steel, stressed in tension, while either immersed in liquid NH3 or exposed to pure NH3 vapor, for 7 months to study the initiation and growth of stress corrosion cracks. This research further confirms that stress corrosion cracking is the greatest threat to nurse tank integrity. Recommendations for best inspection practices are presented on how to reduce the risks associated with nurse tank failures.

description: We report the results of low-temperature magnetization and specific heat measurements of Sr$_3$CoTa$_2$O$_9$ powder, in which Co$^{2+}$ ions with effective spin-1/2 form a uniform triangular lattice in the $ab$ plane. It was found that Sr$_3$CoTa$_2$O$_9$ undergoes successive antiferromagnetic transitions at $T_{\rm N1}\,{=}\,0.97~{\rm K}$ and $T_{\rm N2}\,{=}\,0.79~{\rm K}$ at zero magnetic field. As the magnetic field increases, both $T_{\rm N1}$ and $T_{\rm N2}$ decrease monotonically. The obtained magnetic field vs temperature phase diagram together with a sharp magnetization anomaly at a saturation field of ${μ_0}H_{\rm s}\,{=}\,2.3~{\rm T}$ indicates that Sr$_3$CoTa$_2$O$_9$ is described as a spin-1/2 three-dimensional triangular-lattice antiferromagnet with a weak easy-axis anisotropy. We discuss the characteristics of the magnetic phase diagram, which approximates the phase diagram for the magnetic field perpendicular to the $c$ axis.

description: The term “economic integration” recently has been used for various forms of economic cooperation. Many writers have tried to give a working definition of it, but a review of the literature does not show any generally accepted definition. The term is used for several degrees of economic cooperation; harmonization; trade agreements; tariff-agreements; advanced forms of cooperation like tariff communities, customs communities, customs unions, free trade areas, common markets, monetary unions; and complete economic unions. Integration furthermore has been split into sector and total integration and has been determined by various criteria. Thus, it is very difficult to judge where economic activity is still in the form of a loose cooperation and where the term “integration “ is appropriate. The abolition of discrimination, regional extensions or limitations, harmonization of economic policies, inclusion of meta-economic factors, and the abolition of barriers to factor movements are some of the measurements. In fact, changes in their combination observed in existing economic systems makes it difficult to find a general definition which can be applied to all forms of cooperation.
