description: Civinini-Morton’s metatarsalgia is characterized by a swelling, known as “neuroma”, of the common digital plantar nerve (CDPN), which may cause extreme pain and disability. Microscopically, the affected nerve presents extensive concentric perineural fibrosis. It is considered an entrapment syndrome, due to the impingement of CDNP against the stiff deep transverse metatarsal ligament (DMTL). According to this hypothesis, some surgeons suggest neurolysis, by cutting the DMTL1, as a treatment, instead of generally performed neurectomy. Also some rehabilitation techniques affirm that modifying perineural connective tissue improves patients’ symptoms2. To better study the relationships of the nerve with DTML and deep fasciae of the foot we dissected 15 feet and analyzed 30 MRI. Data from dissections confirm that CDPN’s bifurcation in the second and third webspace is always distal to DTML. Proximal to the metatarsal heads, the nerve is encased by a sheath made by concentric sleeves of fibrous and loose connective tissue continuous with vascular sheaths and deep fasciae of the foot: this arrangement, similar to a “telescope”, may provide a channel to allow the nerve to move independently from surrounding structures, being protected against traction during walking. In the intermetatarsal space, fascial septa connect DMTL, tendon sheaths and plantar fascia, and bound lobules of adipose tissue, more abundant on plantar aspect of the neurovascular bundle: these, along with adipocytes contained between concentric layers of neural sheath, could cushion compressive stresses. Distally to DMTL this protective system is less represented. MRI shows marked inter-individual morphologic variation of the intermetatarsal channel: its size varies from 16.22 mm2 to 64.43 mm2, with a mean value of 37.34 mm2. Its shape ranges from oval or rounded (with a big distance between DMTL and plantar fascia) to roughly rectangular (with a narrow distance); in some people the channel is filled with adipose tissue, while in others fibrous tissue prevails. Fascial septa also vary among people, ranging from barely discernible to 1.2 mm thick, while DMTL is relatively constant (from 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm thick). Plantar fascia varies from 0.6 to 1.1 mm. People who lack an efficient “sliding and cushioning system” could tolerate less mechanical stresses during walking and thus be at increased risk of Civinini-Morton’s syndrome. Perineural scarring (which forms the neuroma) consequent to nerve impingement could, by destroying neural sheath’s structure, further impair nerve protection and worsen symptoms.

title: "To Taste Her Mystic Bread" or "The Mocking Echo of His Own": Uses of Nature in the Poems of Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost
Creators: name: Weaver, Ian R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: This thesis highlights the fact that the way Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost understood nature informed their work as writers. The underlying theme through each chapter is how epistemology about the natural world is created. It compares two seemingly opposed approaches to knowledge construction about nature, answering the question: Is knowledge and value about nature socially constructed or inherently existent and discovered. The second chapter emphasizes that Dickinson considered knowledge based in nature to be socially constructed, making the subjugation of the nineteenth-century woman one of her central subjects. The third chapter shows how Frost agreed with social constructivism in that knowledge is the product of imaginative involvement; he used a constructive stance to emphasize humanity's important role in compelling nature to reveal spiritual truths, which made the reciprocal relationship between people and their environments central to his work. The concluding chapter synthesizes these two approaches and suggests that both are necessary in our modern day understanding of nature.

title: Clark's Nutcracker Seed Harvest Patterns in Glacier National Park and a Novel Method for Monitoring Whitebark Pine Cones
Creators: name: Maier, Monika E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Clark's Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana) is the primary seed disperser of whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis), which is in decline throughout its range. There is concern that a decline in whitebark pine will lead to a subsequent decline in local populations of Clark's Nutcracker. Because natural regeneration depends on the presence of Clark's Nutcracker, the process of harvesting whitebark pine seeds needs to be fully understood. In addition, resource managers need a cost-effective method for monitoring nutcracker occurrence in whitebark pine stands during the seed harvest season. I visited eleven study sites in Glacier National Park, Montana, where I searched for Clark's Nutcracker and surveyed whitebark pine cones for seed harvesting scars, the presence of which indicated that nutcrackers harvested seeds. I documented cone use patterns of Clark's Nutcracker and the major cone predator, red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), at five sites. To identify factors that influence cone use, I ran a correlation analysis with nutcracker and red squirrel seed harvesting variables with physical, compositional, and whitebark pine-related factors. I found that nutcrackers harvested seed at every site that had cones available. Nutcrackers harvested seed from a greater proportion of whitebark pine cones in stands where they started intensively harvesting seeds earlier. Nutcrackers began intensively harvesting seeds earlier in stands with higher relative dominance of whitebark pine. Red squirrels depleted the cone source more rapidly in stands with greater whitebark pine mortality, and at one site depleted the cone source completely before nutcrackers began intensively harvesting seeds from that site. The results of this study suggest that Clark's Nutcracker will continue to harvest seeds even as whitebark pine declines, but the decline in whitebark pine may lead to decreased seed dispersal due to greater pre-dispersal cone predation by red squirrels. Finally, I evaluated direct and indirect monitoring methods to identify a cost-effective method to accurately monitor Clark's Nutcracker occurrence in whitebark pine stands during the seed harvest season. I found that surveying scars made by seed-harvesting nutcrackers on whitebark pine cones was the most accurate and economical method of monitoring Clark's Nutcracker occurrence in an area with a low population of Clark's Nutcracker.

description: We present an effective medium theory that explains the disorder-induced transition into a phase of quantized conductance, discovered in computer simulations of HgTe quantum wells. It is the combination of a random potential and quadratic corrections proportional to p^2 sigma_z to the Dirac Hamiltonian that can drive an ordinary band insulator into a topological insulator (having an inverted band gap). We calculate the location of the phase boundary at weak disorder and show that it corresponds to the crossing of a band edge rather than a mobility edge. Our mechanism for the formation of a topological Anderson insulator is generic, and would apply as well to three-dimensional semiconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling.

title: Modeling freshwater mussel distribution in relation to biotic and abiotic habitat variables in the Middle Fork John Day River, Oregon

description: The habitat requirements of western freshwater mussels, Anodonta, Gonidea, and Margaritifera, remain unclear despite their imperiled status. Freshwater mussels provide a series of ecosystem services including habitat enhancement, substratum stabilization, nutrient cycling, and water clarification, which makes their loss from aquatic ecosystems particularly detrimental. To improve the efficacy of restoration actions targeting these organisms, I used random forest modeling to investigate the biotic and abiotic factors influencing mussel density and distribution throughout a 55-kilometer (km) segment of the Middle Fork John Day River (MFJDR), in northeastern Oregon. Data was collected to characterize the occurrence of mussels with respect to the hierarchical, hydrogeomorphic structure of habitat within reaches of varying valley confinement and channel units nested within these reaches. Data regarding functional habitat features were also included to ensure that models included the wide range of characteristics that mussels need from their environment. By collecting data at both the reach and channel unit scale, I was able to investigate how mussel densities and distributions vary with spatial scale and other biophysical parameters. Throughout the study area, Margaritifera density exhibited a unimodal distribution with respect to river km, while Anodonta and Gonidea density showed a negative relationship with river km and exhibited higher densities downstream. The large scale, longitudinal trends of Margaritifera were related to hydrogeomorphic characteristics at the reach scale, while less than half of the longitudinal variation in Anodonta and Gonidea were explained by hydrogeomorphic and water quality parameters. At the channel unit scale, all mussel genera responded to the patchy variation in physical habitat characteristics, particularly habitat factors that indicated more stable parts of the channel. Overall, physical habitat characteristics such as woody debris, emergent aquatic vegetation, coarse substratum, and channel morphology were more important than hydraulic, biotic, and chemical variables. These results suggest that at both the reach and channel unit scales, mussel density and distribution are influenced by high flow refugia and the hierarchical structuring of hydrogeomorphic habitat characteristics. These results will assist mussel restoration efforts by providing specific guidance about the types of physical habitat conditions that are suitable for mussels.

description: We consider a Kondo-like impurity interacting with fermions on a honeycomb lattice at half-filling, as in the case of graphene. We derive from the lattice model an effective one-dimensional continuum theory which has, in general, four flavors with angular momentum mixing in the presence of internode scattering processes and six couplings in the spin-isotropic case. Under particular conditions, however, it can be reduced to a single-coupling multichannel pseudogap Kondo model. We finally calculate, in the presence of an energy dependent Fermi velocity, induced by Coulomb interaction, the critical coupling in the large-N expansion, the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat.

Fee charging in a family service agency : an examination of fee charging experience and its relation to family casework in the Family Service Agency of Greater Vancouver, 1951-58
Creators: name: Moir, Ward Washington
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Fee-charging has been the subject of extensive discussion within voluntary family agencies. The trend toward initiating fees, particularly in American family agencies, has been growing steadily. However, there has been little research designed to evaluate the supposed objectives of this policy; including the therapeutic values, the expansion of service, or the reinforcement of the professional status of social work. In addition, the basic question of why fees should be charged at all, has been largely ignored. The present study is necessarily an exploratory one. It is confined to the analysis of a particular period of fee-charging experience in the Family Service Agency of Greater Vancouver. The techniques, values, and appropriateness of this policy were reviewed for (a) the total caseload in a survey year; (b) cases selected for the analysis of specific areas. The largest attention was given to "fee cases", and those cases where a fee was proposed, but not charged. The analysis suggests strongly that, while there can be therapeutic benefits from fee-charging, the fee itself is most often appropriate where it is based primarily upon ability to pay. The task for the Agency is to be selective enough in determining which clients should be told about, and charged, fees. Client resistance to casework is a significant factor, influencing worker attitudes toward fee-charging. Consistency in the application of the present policy is needed. It is particularly necessary to exclude the very dependent client. A major premise is suggested for fee-charging, after discussion of alternative premises, and of the reason for charging a fee under this premise. Fee-charging practice would have a changed emphasis; there would be clearer administrative exclusions, and more skilled exclusions based upon casework judgment. Adequate ability to pay would be primary data in deciding between alternatives.

description: The BL Lac object 1ES 0229+200 (z=0.14) has been detected by HESS during observations taking place in 2005-2006. The TeV spectrum, when corrected for the absorption of gamma-ray photons through the interaction with the extragalactic background light, is extremely hard, even if the most conservative level for the background is considered. The case of 1ES 0229+200 is very similar to that of 1ES 1101-232, for which a possible explanation, in the framework of the standard one-zone synchrotron-self Compton model, is that the high-energy emission is synchrotron-self Compton radiation of electrons distributed as a power law with a large value of the minimum energy. In this scenario the hard TeV spectrum is accompanied by a very hard synchrotron continuum below the soft X-ray band. We will show that recent Swift observations of 1ES 0229+200 in the critical UV-X-ray band strongly support this model, showing the presence of the expected spectral break and hard continuum between the UV and the X-ray bands.

description: Articular cartilage (AC) lesions are a particular challenge for regenerative medicine due to cartilage low self-ability repair in case of damage. Hence, a significant goal of musculoskeletal tissue engineering is the development of suitable structures in virtue of their matrix composition and biomechanical properties [1]. The objective of our study was to design in vitro a supporting structure for cartilage chondrocytes to treat focal articular joint defects. We realized a bio-hybrid composite scaffold combining decellularized Wharton’s jelly (W’s J) with the biomechanical properties of the synthetic hydrogel polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The hydrogel itself and the more specific decellularized cartilage matrix were used as controls. Immunohistochemical analysis highlighted a similar histomorphology for W’s J and AC matrices. Human chondrocytes were isolated from articular cartilage by collagenase II digestion and then characterized by flow-cytometry and RT-PCR to assess the expression of specific markers. CD44+/CD73+/CD151+ chondrocytes were seeded on PVA, PVA/AC and PVA/W’s J scaffolds to test their ability to support cell colonization. According to SEM micrographs and MTT proliferation assay, PVA/W’s J revealed a singular attitude to sustain cell proliferation despite its aspecific origin. Our preliminary evidences highlighted the chance of using Wharton’s jelly in combination with PVA hydrogels as an innovative and easily available scaffold for cartilage restoration.

description: Søren Frimann and Bolette Rye Mønsted Employer branding. Employer branding has become a way that both private enterprises and the public sector meet changing conditions of the labour market and organizatorical challenges in a postmodern and globalized world. The present financial crisis has created new challenges to organizations in their efforts to attract and hold attractive employees. But what does it mean when Grundfos say "People are in focus", and what does "diversity" mean when it is applied to the Municipality of Copenhagen as a workplace in relation to employer branding? Is there actually a connection between the thoughts about employer branding and the externally communicated employer brand products? Or is the unique identity of the workplace substituted by buzz words without any substance without including employees and stakeholders? The aim of the article is to evaluate these questions against a background of analyses of two cases with employer branding.

description: We investigate a recently proposed Higgs-like model (arXiv:0811.4423 [hep-th]), in the framework of a gauge-invariant but path-dependent variables formalism. We compute the static potential between test charges in a condensate of scalars and fermions. In the case of charged massive scalar we recover the screening potential. On the other hand, in the Higgs case, with a "tachyonic" mass term and a quartic potential in the Lagrangian, unexpected features are found. It is observed that the interaction energy is the sum of an effective-Yukawa and a linear potential, leading to the confinement of static charges.

title: New Methods for Engineering Site Characterization Using Reflection and Surface wave Seismic Surveys
Creators: name: Chaiprakaikeow, Susit
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: This study presents two new seismic testing methods for engineering application, a new shallow seismic reflection method and Time Filtered Analysis of Surface Waves (TFASW). Both methods are described in this dissertation. The new shallow seismic reflection was developed to measure reflection at a single point using two to four receivers, assuming homogeneous, horizontal layering. It uses one or more shakers driven by a swept sine function as a source, and the cross-correlation technique to identify wave arrivals. The phase difference between the source forcing function and the ground motion due to the dynamic response of the shaker-ground interface was corrected by using a reference geophone. Attenuated high frequency energy was also recovered using the whitening in frequency domain. The new shallow seismic reflection testing was performed at the crest of Porcupine Dam in Paradise, Utah. The testing used two horizontal Vibroseis sources and four receivers for spacings between 6 and 300 ft. Unfortunately, the results showed no clear evidence of the reflectors despite correction of the magnitude and phase of the signals. However, an improvement in the shape of the cross-correlations was noticed after the corrections. The results showed distinct primary lobes in the corrected cross-correlated signals up to 150 ft offset. More consistent maximum peaks were observed in the corrected waveforms. TFASW is a new surface (Rayleigh) wave method to determine the shear wave velocity profile at a site. It is a time domain method as opposed to the Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) method, which is a frequency domain method. This method uses digital filtering to optimize bandwidth used to determine the dispersion curve. Results from testings at three different sites in Utah indicated good agreement with the dispersion curves measured using both TFASW and SASW methods. The advantage of TFASW method is that the dispersion curves had less scatter at long wavelengths as a result from wider bandwidth used in those tests.

description: This is the third and final installment in our series of papers applying the method of Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer to deduce formulas for rank differences. The study of rank differences was initiated by Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer in their proof of Dyson's conjectures concerning Ramanujan's congruences for the partition function. Since then, other types of rank differences for statistics associated to partitions have been investigated. In this paper, we prove explicit formulas for M_2-rank differences for overpartitions. Additionally, we express a third order mock theta function in terms of rank differences.

(Music for shoppers An empirical examination of customers' views of music in shops). Increasingly shops need branding. Music can be important in this connection, and earlier research has indicated that music creates atmosphere and meaning, and that music can even influence the consumer's choice of products. However, research has been characterized by a predominantly quantitative, experimental approach, and there are no independent research studies of shop music in a Danish context. In this way the article supplements existing research by its examination of the meaning of shop music in a Danish context using qualitative methods. Referring to a selected shop environment (The Salling department store in Aalborg) it presents, discusses and puts the result of 126 "exit interviews" as well as a more extensive focus group survey into perspective.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by slow progression and joint tissue degeneration [1]. Mediterranean Diet includes olive oil (OO), which have been shown to possess anti-inflammatory properties [2]. Regular and adequate physical activity reinforces joints, decreases bone loss and may be useful in the control of pain in patients with arthritis [1]. Lubricin is a chondroprotective glycoprotein and it serves as a critical boundary lubricant between opposing cartilage surfaces [1]. Its decreased expression predisposes to cartilage degeneration such as OA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of diet based on OO in conjugation with physical activity, on inflammation and on expression of lubricin in articular cartilage of rats, after injury. In this study we analyzed lubricin and interleukin-1 expression in cartilage and synovial fluid, by using histomorphometrical, morphological and biochemical analysis. The effects of anterior cruciate ligament transection decreased drastically the expression of lubricin and increased the expression of interleukin- 1 in rats, while after physical activity and OO, the values returned to a normal level compared to the control group. With our results we can confirm the importance of the physical activity in conjugation with OO diet in medical therapy to prevent OA disease in order to preserve the articular cartilage and then the entire joint.

title: Prayer, Sacrifice, and Service: Themes in the Mormon Folk Narrative Tradition
Creators: name: Vane, Jake D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this study was to increase understanding of the Mormon folk group. Specifically, I aimed to analyze the Mormon folk narratives that center on three core values of Mormonism: prayer, sacrifice, and service. This project was an introductory approach, pointing the field of Mormon folk studies toward the study of these three narrative types. As these themes are central to Mormonism, my purpose was to offer more insight and understanding about Latter-day Saints. Looking at these stories, I examined the ways in which Latter-day Saints believe and practice the doctrinal principles that undergird these themes. Furthermore, I discussed the manner in which and the purposes for which Latter-day Saints share these narratives. I analyzed each of the three narrative types in terms of their history, context, structure and patterns, performance qualities and functions, and meaning. This study examined narratives that I collected from various places in Utah. The stories that I collected through interviews formed the foundation of my study. Additionally, I obtained stories by observing storytelling events and conversing interpersonally and in small groups with Latter-day Saints. In order to obtain a larger sampling, I collected some stories from LDS published works. I ended up compiling at least thirty stories for each narrative type. The results of the study included a greater understanding of how prayer, sacrifice, and service operate in Latter-day Saint life. Answered-prayer narratives were found to be a critical aspect of Mormon supernatural belief, as Latter-day Saints seek to involve God in everyday life. Narratives of sacrifice revealed the various ways in which Mormons seek to give up valued activities and interests in order to draw closer to God. Furthermore, service narratives exposed how Latter-day Saints commit themselves to service upon joining the Church and subsequently participate in a multitude of various service opportunities. My analysis of these three narrative types demonstrated essential aspects of what it means to be Mormon.

description: We analyze the behavior of a suspension of active polar particles under shear. In the absence of external forces, orientationally ordered active particles are known to exhibit a transition to a state of non-uniform polarization and spontaneous flow. Such a transition results from the interplay between elastic stresses, due to the liquid crystallinity of the suspension, and internal active stresses. In the presence of an external shear we find an extremely rich variety of phenomena, including an effective reduction (increase) in the apparent viscosity depending on the nature of the active stresses and the flow-alignment property of the particles, as well as more exotic behaviors such as a non-monotonic stress/strain-rate relation and yield stress for large activities.

description: Bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have the potential to significantly contribute to skeletal muscle healing through the secretion of paracrine factors that support proliferation and enhance participation of the endogenous muscle stem cells in the process of repair/regeneration [1]. However, MSC-derived trophic molecules have been poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to investigate paracrine signaling effects of MSCs on skeletal myoblasts. It was found, using a biochemical and morphological approach that sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a natural bioactive lipid exerting a broad range of muscle cell responses [2], is secreted by MSCs and represents an important factor by which these cells exert their stimulatory effects on C2C12 myoblast and satellite cell proliferation. Indeed, exposure to conditioned medium obtained from MSCs cultured in the presence of the selective sphingosine kinase inhibitor (iSK), blocked increased cell proliferation caused by MSCconditioned medium, and the addition of exogenous S1P in the conditioned medium from MSCs pre-treated with iSK further increased myoblast proliferation. Finally, we also demonstrated that the myoblast response to MSC-secreted vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) involves the release of S1P from C2C12 cells. Our data may have important implications in the optimization of cell-based strategies to promote skeletal muscle regeneration.

title: The Effects of Habitat Manipulations on Utah Prairie Dogs (Cynomys Parvidens) and Their Habitat on the Awapa Plateau Recovery Area in South-Central Utah
Creators: name: Caudill, Gretchen Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The Utah prairie dog (Cynomys parvidens) was listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an endangered species in 1973 because of range-wide population declines. The species was reclassified as threatened in 1984 because of population increases on private lands. Habitat fragmentation coupled with a lack of suitable habitat has impeded species recovery. Desired species habitat conditions include 0-8% shrub cover, 12-40% cool-season grass cover, and 1-10% perennial forb cover. Cool-season grasses are critical for Utah prairie dogs because of high spring energy requirements. Past research suggested that reducing shrub cover may increase cover of desired grasses and forbs. From 2008-2010, I evaluated the effects of high intensity fall sheep grazing and low application of herbicide (tebuthiuron) as tools to reduce shrub cover and enhance grass and forb cover on the Awapa Plateau Utah prairie dog recovery area in south-central Utah. I placed 1700 ewes in 4 ha stratified and randomly selected plots until >70% vegetation utilization was achieved. Five additional randomly-selected plots were treated with tebuthiuron at a rate of ~1.68 kg/ha. Percent cover of grass, forbs, and shrubs was recorded on treatments and paired control plots in June 2009 and 2010 to determine treatment vegetation responses. I also affixed 22 juvenile Utah prairie dogs with radio transmitters to determine if over-winter survival differed relative to treatment. Live shrub cover was lower on grazed plots in year 1 (P

Some patterns of dependency : an examination of ninety family units who were in receipt of social allowance in the Social Welfare Department of the District of Coquitlam
Creators: name: Morrison, Archibald Oscar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: "Dependency" like many other concepts in social welfare needs careful and explanatory definition. The present study approached this first through a discussion of various meanings of dependency, and then by an examination of the characteristics of a representative sample of recipients of Social Allowance in a particular area of British Columbia. The area is the District of Coquitlam, a typical 'intermediate', semi-rural municipality. The sample includes some complete families, some broken or incomplete families, with only one parent, and a number of single persons. The "setting" 'of the study is described in two parts, (a) the eligibility requirements of the Social Assistance Act, and (b) the general characteristics of Coquitlam. The statistical survey of this group covers the following attributes: (1) family and non-family groups, and number of children; (2) period on assistance; (3) types of disability and (4) occupational background. Characteristic groups and problems are illustrated by case extracts. Several well marked patterns evolve from the statistical survey and are as follows: (a) family formation; (b) disability; (c) children in public assistance families; (d) the length of time that persons were in receipt of assistance, and (e) earning capacity. Implications for social welfare are considered with other comparable studies, including a number of University of British Columbia Social Work theses, as supporting references. The principal areas are (a) the need for better recording and information in certain areas critical for understanding needs and giving help; (b) the use of the welfare committee of the municipal council as a medium for better community participation in social welfare programs, and (c) a consideration of rehabilitation resources, both legislative and 'self-help'.
