title: Evaluation of Bioretention Performance in Northern Utah as a Function of Media, Vegetation, and Loading
Creators: name: Rife, Trixie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Pollutants found in stormwater runoff are a growing environmental concern. The EPA has identified bioretention (BR) systems as a best management practice for the control of pollutants in stormwater runoff. BR systems reduce pollutant loads discharged to surface water bodies and to lower pollutant concentrations of water infiltrating into underlying groundwater. However, knowledge of the performance of BR systems in semi-arid Western climates is lacking. This study was conducted at three field sites in Northern Utah to evaluate the effectiveness of various natural and engineered media and various plant species on pollutant removal subjected to a range of pollutant loadings found to represent stormwater runoff in the region. The three field sites were used to evaluate media selection for pollutant removal in a BR system. Two vegetated field sites were used to examine the impact of vegetation selection and loading rates on pollutant removal from stormwater runoff. Pollutant removal was not consistent among the three field sites due to leaching of pollutants from the media at varying rates. The vegetated BR systems improved pollutant removal when compared to unvegetated systems. Pore water concentrations were not correlated with the stormwater runoff loading rates for most pollutants examined in this study, being controlled primarily by media characteristics. Media type, vegetation species and loading are important parameters when considering bioretention design.
Type Safe Nondeterminism - A formal Semantics of Java Threads

description: We present a generic framework to transform a single-threaded operational semantics into a semantics with interleaved execution of threads. Threads can be dynamically created and use locks for synchronisation. They can suspend themselves, be notified by other threads again, and interact via shared memory. We formalised this in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL along with theorems to carry type safety proofs for the instantiating semantics (progress and preservation in the style of Wright and Felleisen [24]) over to the multithreaded case, thereby investigating the role of deadlocks and giving an explicit formalisation for them. We apply this framework to the Java thread model using an extension of the Jinja [12] source code semantics to have type safety for multithreaded Java machinechecked. The Java Memory Model is not included.

description: Large magnetocaloric effect has been observed in Mn3O4 around its ferrimagnetic transition at TN = 42.75 K. Field-induced isothermal entropy changes (\DeltaS) were derived from both magnetic and calorimetric techniques. The maximum |\DeltaS| and adiabatic temperature change (ΔTad) at TN are 11 J kg-1 K-1 and 1.9 K, respectively, for a magnetic field change of 20 kOe. Moreover, it is found that the complex magnetic phase transitions taking place below TN produce additional -but smaller- features on \DeltaS(T).

title: The Relationship of Adaptive Clothing on the Social Participation and Self-Esteem of Adolescents with Disabilities
Creators: name: Brown, Emalee
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Adaptive clothing allows people with disabilities to dress in current fashion trends that accommodate their physical disabilities or impairments. Current research shows an increase in the production and availability of adaptive clothing. Additionally, the research on the consumers of adatpive clothing focuses on adults and their relationship with the clothing. More research was needed to understand the relationship that adolescents with disabilities had with clothing, and more specifically, adaptive clothing.
The researcher developed a survey using two previous studies to identify awareness and use of adaptive clothing by adolescents with disabilities. The study also evaluated the relationship between clothing and social participation for adolescents with disabilities, as well as clothing and self-esteem for the same population. The data analysis showed adolescents with disabilities are aware of adaptive clothing and have more positive feelings towards adaptive clothing than mass-produced clothing. Participants also stated that clothing impacts how they feel in social situations yet rarely impacts their participation. Lastly, appropriately-fitted clothing affects how the participants feel about themselves and helps increase their self-esteem.
This study adds to the literature regarding adolescents with disabilities, their relationship with mass-produced clothing to adaptive clothing, and how clothing affects them socially and emotionally. This information is vital to the clothing and fashion industries, as well as the population of adolescents with disabilities.

title: Utilization of Protective Cultures to Reduce Late Gas Formation by Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis
Creators: name: Green, Ireland R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Cheesemaking is a process susceptible to defects caused by microbes not purposefully added by the manufacturer. While these bacteria are not a health concern, they can cause problems such as producing carbon dioxide inside the cheese. This can cause slits and cracks in cheese making cheese unsuitable for slicing. One such bacteria identified by cheese researchers at Utah State University and Weber State University is Paucilactobacillus wasatchensis. When present in cheese, it can cause gas formation by using galactose to supply its energy. In doing so, it takes this six-carbon sugar and converts it into a five-carbon sugar and at the same time releasing carbon dioxide.
The research team proposed a two-year project to develop a model system for studying this unwanted gas formation. This also involved investigation of other bacteria that could be added which use up these sugars and prevent Plb. wasatchensis from producing the unwanted gas. The BUILD Dairy program of the Western Dairy Center provided $85,000 for graduate student support and laboratory expenses for this project as a way to increase student investigations to solve problems faced by the dairy industry.
Information on the successful use of protective cultures to metabolize galactose before Lb. wasatchensis could use it to make carbon dioxide has been disseminated through presentations at regional and national microbiology, dairy, and cheese industry conferences.

description: This work addresses the problem of discovering bugs in software development. We investigate the utilisation of call graphs of program executions and graph mining algorithms to approach this problem. We propose a novel reduction technique for call graphs which introduces edge weights. Then, we present an analysis technique for such weighted call graphs based on graph mining and on traditional feature selection. Our new approach finds bugs which could not be detected so far. With regard to bugs which can already be localised, our technique also doubles the precision of finding them.
title: Social Media Usage and Psychological Well-Being in Adolescents: A Comparison Among Demographics
Creators: name: McCall, Heather A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this study was to examine social media use of adolescents in the U.S. and their psychological well-being to expand the research of this quickly changing topic. The researcher collected online responses from 409 adolescents between the ages of 13-17 years old concerning their social media use and psychological well-being.
Variables in the research included time spent on social media, number of platforms used, active use, parental mediation, and emotional connection. The two variables that had a statistically significant relationship with psychological well-being included parental mediation and emotional connection to social media.
Recommendations for continued research could include examination of the parent-adolescent relationship, parenting styles, and a dyadic survey to study both parents’ and adolescents’ perceptions of screen time use and psychological well-being. This research contributes recommendations for practice to Extension professionals and mental health professionals to assist parents and caregivers to navigate norms and provide a framework for more parental mediation concerning their adolescent’s social media use.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: The relationship between housing and immigration has become relevant in the U.S., especially in a highly populated metropolis such as New York City (NYC). Determining whether immigration status affects home ownership percentage, household rent, or housing cost percentage could help understand the quality of life of NYC residents. Graphical exploration, spatial dependence tests, and spatial autoregressive models of housing and immigration variables provide some insights about their relationships. Our exploration takes place at some geographic subareas of NYC.
Our results first indicate that the housing and immigration data reports spatial dependence; values of a geographic subarea are related to values of other nearby subareas. In addition, we notice that an immigrant householder is less likely to own a home and more likely to pay a higher rent asa proportion of their income. This result is more apparent in the Bronx and Manhattan. However, being an immigrant can’t be associated with higher rent amounts since household rent depends more on other factors, such as the household income.

description: The reformulation of existing boundaries between primary and secondary care, in order to shift selected services traditionally provided by Emergency Departments to community-based alternatives has determined a variety of organisational solutions aimed at reducing the ED overcrowding. One innovative change has been the introduction of fast-track systems for minor injuries or illnesses, whereby community care providers are involved in order to divert patients away from EDs. These facilities offer an open-access service for patients not requiring hospital treatments, and may be staffed by nurses and/or primary care general practitioners operating within, or alongside, the ED. To date little research has been undertaken on such experiences. To fill this gap, we analyse a First-aid clinic (FaC) in the Italian city of Parma, consisting of a minor injury unit located alongside the teaching hospital’s ED. We examine the link between
the utilisation rates of the FaC and primary care characteristics, focusing on the main organisational features of the practices and estimating panel count data models for 2007-2010. Our main findings indicate that the younger cohorts are heavy users of the FaC and that the
extension of practice opening hours significantly lowers the number of attendances, after controlling for GP’s and practice’s characteristics.

Staphylococcus aureus heme acquisition from hemoglobin
Creators: name: Li, Jun Wen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterial pathogen of major health concern. Furthermore, the emergence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strains limit the number of treatment options. Iron is essential for S. aureus survival and growth; however, the majority of iron in the human body is stored as hemoglobin (Hb) in erythrocytes. Hb released from lysed erythrocytes is quickly captured by serum haptoglobin (Hp) and the complex is degraded in the liver where released iron is then recycled. To date, the Iron Surface Determinant (Isd) system is the only heme utilization pathway identified in S. aureus. IsdB is the primary receptor at the cell surface that binds Hb to extract heme. Heme is then transferred to IsdA or IsdC, which then relay it to other Isd proteins for internalization. IsdB contains two NEAT (NEAr Iron Transporter) domains, and both domains and the intervening linker are needed for efficient heme uptake from Hb. In the first part of my study, the molecular mechanism of heme transfer from Hb to IsdB was investigated using site-directed mutagenesis. Residues in the heme-binding pocket were identified by inspection of a crystal structure of the complex of IsdB and Hb. The Y440F/Y444F (YFYF), E354A, M363L and S361A variants were found to be deficient in heme transfer. In particular, spectroscopic analysis of the YFYF mutant mixed with Hb provided evidence of a trapped heme transfer intermediate similar to that observed in the crystal structure of the wild-type protein. In the second part of my study, Hp was found to inhibit heme transfer from Hb to IsdB in a concentration-dependent manner and heme transfer was completely blocked when Hp was added to Hb above the binding stoichiometry determined by structural and solution studies. Moreover, Hb mixed with excess Hp did not support growth of S. aureus on iron-restrictive media. This study gained insight into the heme transfer mechanism between Hb and IsdB and revealed a novel role of Hp in blocking heme uptake by S. aureus.

Η δικαιοσύνη, η αρετή των αρετών, διακρίνεται σε γενική και ειδική, η δε τελευταία σε διανεμητική και διορθωτική. Η διανεμητική  δικαιοσύνη αποβλέπει στη διανομή, με βάση την αναλογική ισότητα, αγαθών, τιμών και βαρών, ενώ η διορθωτική στην άρση, με βάση την αριθμητική ισότητα, της ανισότητας κέρδους και ζημίας που προκαλείται, όταν, εκούσια ή ακούσια, η ισότητα παραβιάζεται. 

The subject of this study is the Aristotelian view of justice as mediocrity and equality, which is believed to be able to remove acute inequalities and prevent conflicts in a world that is often tested by deadlocks and crises. Justice, the virtue of virtues, is divided into general and specific, and the latter into distributive and corrective. Distributive justice aims at distributing, on the basis of proportional equality, goods, prices and burdens, while corrective justice aims at eliminating, on the basis of numerical equality, the inequality of profit and loss caused when, intentionally or unintentionally, equality is violated.

In particular, for small Knudsen number, these solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation have dynamics that are effectively captured by corresponding solutions to the relativistic Euler equations.

Multicode-Detektion im UMTS [online]

description: Nach dem Erfolg des bekannten Mobilfunksystems GSM, das als
Vertreter der zweiten Generation auf die Sprachkommunikation
optimiert ist und nachträglich mittels GPRS auf
Paketübermittlung erweitert wurde, bricht nun die dritte
Generation des Mobilfunks mit dem Universal Mobile
Telecommunication System (UMTS) an. Das Konzept von UMTS ist es,
überall und jederzeit multimediale Daten zur Verfügung zu
stellen. Es steht nicht mehr die
Sprachübertragung im Vordergrund, sondern die Datenübertragung.
Der Empfänger muss den Charakter der Daten (Sprache, Video,
Bilder, Texte, ...) entsprechend erfassen. Das Ziel dieser
Arbeit ist es, für die UTRA-FDD Luftschnittstelle von UMTS
effiziente Detektionsalgorithmen zu finden. Dazu muss zunächst
ein umfassender Überblick über solch ein System gegeben werden.
Daher erfolgt eine allgemeine Darstellung des Direct
Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) Prinzips. Es
wird das für die Mobilfunkübertragung wichtige WSSUS Kanalmodell
erläutert. Schließlich werden die beiden Luftschnittstellen
UTRA-TDD und UTRA-FDD von UMTS beschrieben.
Neue Aspekte in dieser Arbeit sind für den Single-User Fall die
Anpassung des RAKE-Empfängers an die UTRA-FDD Gegebenheiten und
für den Multicode (MC) Fall, die Anwendung von linearen
MC-Detektoren (MCD) für den Multicode Betrieb im UTRA-FDD
uplink. Dabei wird zum einen ein neuer Ansatz verfolgt, der auf
dem bekannten Block Zero Forcing (ZF)-Detektionsprinzip aufbaut,
aber mittels einer Fensterung einen gröÿeren Bereich in die
Datenschätzung mit einbezieht, als letztlich detektierte Bits
ausgegeben werden. Zum anderen wird der Block-FFT MUD, der
bereits für das UTRA-TDD System untersucht wurde, an den
UTRA-FDD uplink Multicode Modus angepasst, und mit dem Fenster
MCD verglichen. Es zeigt sich, dass durch Ausnutzung der
Systemstruktur, die Rechenleistung sowohl im RAKE-Empfänger als
auch bei den MC-Detektoren verringert werden kann. Der
RAKE-Empfänger ist natürlich durch das Prinzip der Single-User
Detektion vom Aufwand klar überlegen, kann aber nur sehr mäÿige
Bitfehlerraten erreichen. Wenn man nicht nur in kleinen
geschlossenen Räumen im UTRA-FDD uplink hohe Datenraten
erreichen möchte, muss man auf Verfahren zur MC-Detektion
zurückgreifen.
Der MCD mit Fensterung erreicht bei etwas besseren
Bitfehlerraten als der Block-FFT MCD einen um etwa den Faktor
2;4 geringeren Rechenaufwand.

title: Comparison of Microbial Diversity of Fifteen Aged Cheddar Cheeses from Different Regions Using Next Generation Sequencing
Creators: name: Overbeck, Sophie L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: This project was funded by BUILD Dairy to test the efficacy of using next generation sequencing to study Cheddar cheese microbiomes. The 15 different cheese samples used in this study were purchased in the retail market from various manufacturers and different origins of manufacture. Sequencing was done by the Center for Integrated Biosystems at Utah State University using Illumina MiSeq.
The aim of this project is to provide further understanding of how using next generation sequencing can benefit the study of bacterial communities and their influence during the aging process of Cheddar cheese and the possibility of identifying defect causing microorganisms. We tested Cheddar cheese samples microbiota by amplifying and sequencing the hypervariable V4 region of the 16S rRNA. Sequencing data was evaluated using two different denoising pipelines within Qiime 2: Deblur and DADA2. We used variant identification as a method of comparing starter and non-starter lactic acid bacteria in cheeses based on regions and manufacturers.
In the data denoised by both methods the samples clustered into two groups separated by the dominant starter lactic acid bacteria (SLAB). DADA2 identified over quadruple the number of amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), which represent a unique sequence within the samples, compared to Deblur. Using Deblur we identified 5 Lactococcus lactis ASVs and 3 Streptococcus thermophilus ASVs compared to DADA2 which identified 34 L. lactis ASVs and 35 St. thermophilus. Thus, it can be said that using DADA2 to denoise Cheddar cheese data provides a more realistic representation of the microbiome

description: In the wake of previous studies on the rattling-and-jumping diffusion in smectic liquid crystal phases of colloidal rods, we analyze here for the first time the heterogeneous dynamics in columnar phases. More specifically, we perform computer simulations to investigate the relaxation dynamics of a binary mixture of perfectly aligned hard spherocylinders. We detect that the columnar arrangement of the system produces free-energy barriers the particles should overcome to jump from one column to another, thus determining a hopping-type diffusion. This phenomenon accounts for the non-Gaussian inter-column diffusion and shows a two-step structural relaxation which is remarkably analogous to that of out-of-equilibrium glass-forming systems and gels. Surprisingly enough, slight deviations from the behavior of simple liquids due to transient cages is also observed in the direction perpendicular to this plane, where the system is usually referred to as liquid-like.

description: Using the ab initio FLAPW-GGA method we examine the electronic band structure, densities of states, and the Fermi surface topology for a very recently synthesized ThCr2Si2-type potassium intercalated iron selenide superconductor KxFe2Se2. We found that the electronic state of the stoichiometric KFe2Se2 is far from that of the isostructural iron pnictide superconductors. Thus the main factor responsible for experimentally observed superconductivity for this material is the deficiency of potassium, i.e. the hole doping effect. On the other hand, based on the results obtained, we conclude that the tuning of the electronic system of the new KxFe2Se2 superconductor in the presence of K vacancies is achieved by joint effect owing to structural relaxations and hole doping, where the structural factor is responsible for the modification of the band topology, whereas the doping level determines their filling.

Το Διεθνές Ποινικό Δικαστήριο για την Πρώην Γιουγκοσλαβία (ICTY), το ειδικό δικαστήριο για την συγκεκριμένη υπόθεση, διαδραμάτισε ιστορικό ρόλο στη δίωξη αυτών των εγκλημάτων και αναγνώρισε τον βιασμό ως διεθνές έγκλημα. Αυτό σηματοδότησε ένα σημαντικό βήμα στο διεθνές δίκαιο, καθιστώντας τους δράστες υπόλογους για τη βία που σχετίζεται με το φύλο

Η έλλειψη των δημοκρατικών δομών στις εμπόλεμες περιοχές και της σχετικής, αποτελεσματικής νομικής προστασίας αύξησε περαιτέρω την ευάλωτη θέση των γυναικών. Παρά τις διεθνείς προσπάθειες για την αντιμετώπιση αυτών των εγκλημάτων, εξακολουθούν να υπάρχουν προκλήσεις όσον αφορά τη διασφάλιση πλήρους λογοδοσίας και δικαιοσύνης για τα θύματα, καθώς και την οικοδόμηση νέων κοινωνιών που σέβονται τα δικαιώματα και την αξιοπρέπεια των γυναικών.

description: Supersymmetric M/string compactifications to five dimensions contain BPS black string solutions with magnetic graviphoton charge P and near-horizon geometries which are quotients of AdS_3 x S^2. The holographic duals are typically known 2D CFTs with central charges c_L=c_R=6P^3 for large P. These same 5D compactifications also contain non-BPS but extreme Kerr-Newman black hole solutions with SU(2)_L spin J_L and electric graviphoton charge Q obeying Q^3 \leq J_L^2. It is shown that in the maximally charged limit Q^3 -> J_L^2, the near-horizon geometry coincides precisely with the right-moving temperature T_R=0 limit of the black string with magnetic charge P=J_L^{1/3}. The known dual of the latter is identified as the c_L=c_R=6J_L CFT predicted by the Kerr/CFT correspondence. Moreover, at linear order away from maximality, one finds a T_R \neq 0 quotient of the AdS_3 factor of the black string solution and the associated thermal CFT entropy reproduces the linearly sub-maximal Kerr-Newman entropy. Beyond linear order, for general Q^3

title: The Influence of Culture on Behavior-Based Tasks of Impulsivity
Creators: name: Garcia, Byron H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Background: Among Latinx youth residing in the United States (U.S), the adoption of U.S cultural behaviors, values, and identity has been proposed to increase risk for negative outcomes, such as substance use. Research also suggests that the maintenance of Latinx cultural behaviors, values, and identity may be protective. Although there is an established link between impulsivity and substance use outcomes, very little research has sought to explore factors that influence impulsivity among Latinx groups. Furthermore, behavioral tasks have made substantial contributions as measures of impulsivity, yet few studies have examined cultural identity domains in relation to these behavioral tasks.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate relationships between cultural domains (i.e., behaviors, values, and identifications) of cultural identity and performance on behavior-based measures of impulsivity among a population of Latinx adolescents and emerging adults.
Methods: Latinx adolescents (N = 92) between the ages of 13-18 and Latinx emerging adults (N = 278) between the ages of 18 and 25 were recruited for the present study. It was hypothesized that psychological domains of cultural identity, including ethnic identity, language use, self-construal, and familism values would be associated with lower preference for smaller more immediate rewards on the MCQ, higher preference for the less-risky reward on the PDQ, and increased levels of inhibitory control on the Flanker task. It was also hypothesized that Latinx participants who receive the family obligation/interdependent self-construal prime would have reduced rates of delay discounting and increased rates of probability discounting.
Results: The current study found increased levels of comfort related to one’s bicultural identity to be associated with increased inhibitory control on the Flanker task for adolescents, but lower rates of probability discounting (i.e., preference for riskier option) on the PDQ for young adults. Spanish language use was found to be significantly associated with lower rates of delay discounting (i.e., preference for larger delayed rewards) on the MCQ and this association was unique to young adults. No significant effect as a result of cultural prime condition was observed.

description: Diffusion and drift of a graphene flake on a graphite surface are analyzed. A potential energy relief of the graphene flake is computed using ab initio and empirical calculations. Based on the analysis of this relief, different mechanisms of diffusion and drift of the graphene flake on the graphite surface are considered. A new mechanism of diffusion and drift of the flake is proposed. According to the proposed mechanism, rotational transition of the flake from commensurate to incommensurate state takes place with subsequent simultaneous rotation and translational motion until a commensurate state is reached again, and so on. Analytic expressions for the diffusion coefficient and mobility of the flake corresponding to different mechanisms are derived in wide ranges of temperatures and sizes of the flake. The molecular dynamics simulations and estimates based on ab initio and empirical calculations demonstrate that the proposed mechanism can be dominant under certain conditions. The influence of structural defects on the diffusion of the flake is examined on the basis of calculations of the potential energy relief and molecular dynamics simulations. The methods of control over the diffusion and drift of graphene components in nanoelectromechanical systems are discussed. The possibility to experimentally determine the barriers to relative motion of graphene layers based on the study of diffusion of a graphene flake is considered. The results obtained can be also applied to polycyclic aromatic molecules on graphene and should be qualitatively valid for a set of commensurate adsorbate-adsorbent systems.

description: We experimentally demonstrate quantum process tomography of controlled-Z and controlled-NOT gates using capacitively-coupled superconducting phase qubits. These gates are realized by using the $|2\rangle$ state of the phase qubit. We obtain a process fidelity of 0.70 for the controlled-phase and 0.56 for the controlled-NOT gate, with the loss of fidelity mostly due to single-qubit decoherence. The controlled-Z gate is also used to demonstrate a two-qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm with a single function query.

description: This thesis leverages immersive technologies to support the sensemaking process in spatio-temporal data analysis with layered space-time cubes. We simplify the sensemaking process into three aspects: data understanding, data exploration, and analytical reasoning, and investigate how to support these aspects in immersive environments from three perspectives: visualisation perception, user interaction, and analytic provenance. We explored the effectiveness of different data representations, developed a prototype to investigate the use of embodied interactions for data exploration and proposed a concept of embodied provenance. This work contributes to the establishment of a design space for a spatio-temporal data sensemaking process in immersive environments.
Characterisation of block cave mining secondary fragmentation
Creators: name: Liu, Yubo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Block cave mining is a widely employed mining method around the world due to its low operating cost. One of the key factors that affects block caving mine’s productivity is fragmentation; accordingly, significant efforts have been made and are currently being made to study fragmentation processes, including the use of numerical modelling and remote sensing techniques. It is desirable to develop fragmentation models that could be used to provide reliable estimates of the range and distribution of the sizes of the rock blocks expected to be induced by caving. In the context of block and panel cave mining, fragmentation processes are characterised as: i) In-situ (natural) Fragmentation: in-situ blocks that are naturally present within the rock mass before any mining activity takes place. They are defined by the pre-existing discontinuities. ii) Primary Fragmentation: blocks that separates from the cave back as the undercut is mined and caving is initiated. iii) Secondary Fragmentation: fragmentation that occurs as the blocks move down through the ore column to the drawpoints. The main goal of this thesis is to attempt to establish a relationship between in-situ fragmentation and secondary fragmentation. This is achieved by: i) Measuring secondary fragmentation observed at the drawpoints. Digital image processing is employed in this process, using WipFrag (WipWare, 2014) and PortaMetrics (MotionMetrics, 2015). ii) Using Discrete Fracture Networks (DFN) to generate in-situ fragmentation curves based on data mapped from boreholes and drifts. The code FracMan (Golder, 2014) is used to generate the DFN model and the fragmentation curves. Additionally, the height of draw data from code PCBC (Systems, 2015) is used to establish a relationship between modelled in-situ fragmentation and measured secondary fragmentation. iii) This research is considered to benefit the assessment of block caving fragmentation specifically the estimate of oversizes (hang-ups) at draw columns. Also as a part of the on-going project Cave-to-Mill (Nadolski, et al., 2015) conducted at UBC Mining, this research will feed into the further analysis of Cave - to - Mill study.
title: Transplanting Mature Mountain Big Sagebrush Plants Yields High First-Year Survival in Dryland Pasture Restoration
Creators: name: Bailey, Elizabeth C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Approximately 10-20% of global dryland ecosystems are severely degraded, an amount that is expected to increase, threatening the environment and ecosystem services that 38% of the global population relies upon. Human activities such as agriculture, livestock grazing, mining and urban development have contributed to the degradation and loss of rangelands worldwide. A need for reestablishing sagebrush in disturbed landscapes across the Western United States, including dryland pastures, has been identified but traditional, primarily seeding-based, restoration methods have largely been unsuccessful. To improve restoration outcomes, there has been increased interest in the planting of containerized greenhouse “tubelings”, but transplanting of mature plants, “wildlings”, remains relatively unexplored. Survival of tubelings vs. wildlings and under what conditions these techniques might be suitable are unclear. Here we tested establishment of mountain big sagebrush (A. tridentata ssp. vaseyana) from planting tubelings vs. wildlings. Research was conducted in southeastern Idaho where vegetation was dominated by two non-native grasses which are a concern for land managers. Following seedbed preparation and application of herbicide, the study area was drill-seeded with a mix of rangeland grasses and forbs. We then established thirty-six research plots, each of which received one of three sagebrush establishment methods: tubelings vs. wildlings, plus seeding for comparison over the long term. Another six plots were established as controls (no sagebrush). In addition to assessing planting quality and frost heaving at the time of planting, we recorded plant survival the summer and fall after planting, as well as other measures such as percent green leaves present, plant height, physical damage, and reproduction. Survival of wildlings one year after planting was significantly higher than that of tubelings (92% and 17% respectively). Tubeling mortality had a significant association with the poor planting variable (e.g., exposed roots or air pockets in the soil), indicating that quality of planting performed by vegetation crews needs to be more closely examined. The results of this study illustrate that wildlings can yield very high one-year survival rates (especially compared to tubelings) and suggest that, when conditions are appropriate, wildlings may be a more cost-effective method for establishing sagebrush.
