description: Many people believe their memory works like a video camera, capturing and storing their experiences. However, memories can be manipulated or planted without us noticing. If this seems insignificant, consider the big consequences of false memory: although eyewitness identification of a criminal is often unreliable, it has an incredible power to sway a jury.1
My interest in studying memory and my introspective nature has led me to create this series of work—a visual collection of my experiences as a spectrum of color and shape. These pieces have been influenced by age, emotion, personality, and bias. With each piece, I have highlighted the things I remember, how I feel about the experience looking back, and how I think my memory of the event has changed. For example, in Queen Crab, I used an intense red to indicate a strong emotional reaction and sharp crystals to suggest a bit of danger. In other pieces, like Collecting Rocks, I use neutral colors and rounded shapes to communicate the stability and simplicity of that memory.

description: Properties of iron oxides at the extreme conditions are of essential importance in condensed matter physics and Geophysics. The recent discovery of a new type of iron oxide, Fe4O5, at high pressure and high temperature of Earth's deep interior attracts great interests. In this paper, we report the electronic structure and the magnetic properties of Fe4O5 predicted by the density functional theory plus dynamic mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) approach. We find that Fe4O5 stays metallic from ambient pressure to high pressure. The magnetic moments of iron atoms at the three different crystallographic positions of Fe4O5 undergo position-dependent collapse as being compressed. Such site-selective magnetic moment collapse originates from the shift of energy levels and the consequent charge transfer among the Fe-3d orbits under compression.

title: Interactive Effects of Soil and Browsing on Big Sagebrush: Implications for Restoration Success
Creators: name: Nehring, Kyle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Heterogeneity in landscape conditions (e.g., soil types) precludes a “one size fits all” management strategy across large landscapes. New management approaches that explicitly account for heterogeneous landscapes (and the variable conditions therein) will be required to maintain habitat quality. In particular, we require an improved mechanistic understanding of how the outcomes of conservation and restoration actions are contingent upon a) contextual abiotic factors (e.g., moisture availability mediated by soils and precipitation) and b) their interactions with biotic factors (e.g., browsing wildlife).
We propose to answer fundamental questions about how big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), the foundational species for sagebrush habitat, responds to browsing over a variety of soil moisture conditions. Ultimately, this work will lend insight into how soils and herbivory influence persistence of sagebrush over heterogeneous landscapes, and ultimately contribute to maintenance of habitat for wildlife. This information can then be used to create decision support tools to help prioritize conservation and restoration actions across broad landscapes, targeting areas where management actions are most needed and/or likely to be successful. Ultimately this work will improve managers’ ability to maintain wildlife habitat.

In this paper we present an analytical strong-coupling calculation for those time-of-flight pictures of bosons in an optical lattice in the Mott phase. This allows us to determine the visibility, which quantifies the contrast of peaks in the time-of-flight pictures, and we suggest how to use it as a thermometer.

description: The realtime follow-up of neutrino events is a promising approach to search for astrophysical neutrino sources. It has so far provided compelling evidence for a neutrino point source: the flaring gamma-ray blazar TXS 0506+056 observed in coincidence with the high-energy neutrino IceCube-170922A detected by IceCube. The detection of very-high-energy gamma rays (VHE, $\mathrm{E} > 100\,\mathrm{GeV}$) from this source helped establish the coincidence and constrained the modeling of the blazar emission at the time of the IceCube event. The four major imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope arrays (IACTs) - FACT, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS - operate an active follow-up program of target-of-opportunity observations of neutrino alerts sent by IceCube. This program has two main components. One are the observations of known gamma-ray sources around which a cluster of candidate neutrino events has been identified by IceCube (Gamma-ray Follow-Up, GFU). Second one is the follow-up of single high-energy neutrino candidate events of potential astrophysical origin such as IceCube-170922A. GFU has been recently upgraded by IceCube in collaboration with the IACT groups. We present here recent results from the IACT follow-up programs of IceCube neutrino alerts and a description of the upgraded IceCube GFU system.

description: We use new large area far infrared maps ranging from 65 - 500 microns obtained with the AKARI and the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) missions to characterize the dust emission toward the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant (SNR). Using the AKARI high resolution data we find a new "tepid" dust grain population at a temperature of ~35K and with an estimated mass of 0.06 solar masses. This component is confined to the central area of the SNR and may represent newly-formed dust in the unshocked supernova ejecta. While the mass of tepid dust that we measure is insufficient by itself to account for the dust observed at high redshift, it does constitute an additional dust population to contribute to those previously reported. We fit our maps at 65, 90, 140, 250, 350, and 500 microns to obtain maps of the column density and temperature of "cold" dust (near 16 K) distributed throughout the region. The large column density of cold dust associated with clouds seen in molecular emission extends continuously from the surrounding interstellar medium to project on the SNR, where the foreground component of the clouds is also detectable through optical, X-ray, and molecular extinction. At the resolution available here, there is no morphological signature to isolate any cold dust associated only with the SNR from this confusing interstellar emission. Our fit also recovers the previously detected "hot" dust in the remnant, with characteristic temperature 100 K.

title: Testing Methods of Surficial Sinkhole Identification Using Remotely Sensed Data
Creators: name: Brophy, Dane P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Nearly a quarter of all people rely on karst aquifers for drinking water. In the United States, the Safe Water Drinking Act requires a complete assessment of public water systems' vulnerabilities to contamination. As part of that assessment, watershed boundaries must be delineated, while recharge and supply locations identified. In the context of karst aquifers, surficial karst features, such as sinkholes, can act as a point source of direct recharge to karst aquifers and create vulnerabilities to critical drinking water sources. Historical methods of locating these features are inefficient and depend on basic field investigations, resulting in a clear need for advanced identification methods. To this end, this study focuses on developing more efficient identification methods that use remotely sensed data to locate and map surficial karst features that may require protection. Satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data were used to explore the resolution needed to identify surficial karst feature signatures and the most promising methods for analyzing these data. This study's data included red, green, blue, and near-infrared reflectance rasters, thermal mosaics, and digital surface and terrain models. Spectral and thermal properties were used to filter data that could include karst features. Additionally, digital elevation models were used to explore multiple smoothing methods, image differencing, edge detection, terrain curvature, sink location, and watershed delineation. Findings from the different methods were compared to known karst feature locations. Data with a resolution between 0.5 and 2.5 meters per pixel were found to be ideal for most methods tested. However, vegetation removal, followed by a simple interpolation to fill these areas, created data analysis problems and highlighted the need for other data products, such as LiDAR, that provide accurate elevations of terrain shrouded by vegetation. In the end, it was found that edge detection, mapping curvature, and locating of low points (or sinks) via DEM analyses are all promising methods. It was concluded that by combining multiple methods, detailed digital terrain models could accurately locate many surficial karst features.
Humidity Effects on the Moment of Inertia in Solid Wood Baseball Bats

A recent surge in the home run rate in Major League Baseball has led to deeper scrutiny of all factors that might affect the properties that contribute to batted ball performance. For example, a special committee found that small changes in seam height, which were still well within acceptable manufacturing tolerances, led to a lower drag coefficient and increased home run rates for the same exit velocity and launch angle. While much of the increased scrutiny in baseball has focused on the balls, small changes in bat performance could have a similar effect. For example, Drane and Sherwood found a 1% increase in wood bat performance for bats conditioned in very humid air. For an exit velocity of 100 MPH and a launch angle of 30 degrees, batters can expect a 0.578 batting average and a 44.9% home run rate. A 1% increase in bat performance yields an exit velocity of 101 MPH, which increases the expected batting average to 0.661 with a 55.7% home run rate. In this work we investigate specifically the effect of various humidity conditions while storing wooden bats made from ash on their weight and inertia. This builds on previous work by Drane and Sherwood to decouple changes in bat performance from changes in the bat’s mass, balance, and moment of inertia.

title: Exploiting a Grading Policy Shift as an Instrument to Estimate Impact of Grading on Teacher Evaluations
Creators: name: Johnson, Gavin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Professors at a university plausibly have an incentive to give higher grades to students, and these higher grades will be reflected in student evaluations, which are used to assess teaching quality, which could have career impacts. This paper takes advantage of a policy shift at the business school at Utah State University that introduced suggested caps on the average course grades that teachers gave. This allowed instrumental variable analysis to correct for bias in OLS estimations of these impacts. The correlation between grades and students' evaluations of teachers was found to be positive suggesting that student evaluations of teachers are biased by the grades that teachers give, making them less useful as a guiding metric.

description: We describe two situations where adding the adjoint divisor to a divisor D with smooth normalization yields a free divisor. Both also involve stability or versality. In the first, D is the image of a corank one stable germ of a map from complex n-space to complex (n+1)-space, and is not free. In the second, D is the discriminant of a versal deformation of a weighted homogeneous function with isolated critical point (subject to certain numerical conditions on the weights). Here D itself is already free. We also prove an elementary result, inspired by these first two, from which we obtain a plethora of new examples of free divisors. The presented results seem to scratch the surface of a more general phenomenon that is still to be revealed.

The effects of repeated viewings on the accuracy of judging selected gymnastics events
Creators: name: Michelitsch, Karoline Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of repeated viewings of gymnastics routines on the accuracy of judges' scores. More specifically, the purposes were threefold: firstly, to determine if the accuracy of judges' scores improved with repeated viewings of the same routines; secondly, to determine the number of repeated viewings required to optimally improve the scorers' accuracy; and thirdly, to determine the relationship between the number of viewings established and the participating judges' levels of proficiency. Criterion scores for four selected vault performances and four selected optional uneven parallel bars routines were established by two women's gymnastics judges, one of national and one of international certification. Four treatment conditions were established, each having a different routine shown one, two, three or four times. Eight regional judges and eight national judges were presented with the vault and bars test videotapes; all judges viewed the same treatments but the presentation order was determined by the Latin Square design. The judges recorded their deductions for each vault performance and their values for each of the component part scores for each bars performance. The experimenter tabulated the final scores for each event and calculated the absolute deviations of the experimental scores from their respective criterion scores. The results indicate that scores for vault become more accurate with repeated viewings and that uneven bars scoring, though reasonably accurate after a single viewing, improved in terms of reduced variability after more than one viewing. The increased accuracy in scores implies that repeated viewings reduce the limiting effects of human information processing capacities on judges' scoring accuracy. No significant differences were found between judges of regional and national proficiency levels.

The effects of electrical stimulation on muscular strength and endurance of the extensor muscles of the hand

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The main purpose of this study was to observe the changes in muscular strength and endurance of the extensor muscles of the hand after the arm had been exposed to electrical stimulation. Twenty-four university students were chosen for this study. The subjects were divided into three groups of eight,, attempting to make each group homogeneous with respect to their Maximal Voluntary Iscitetric Contraction of the extensor muscles of the hand. All subjects were trained with the hand at 150 degrees with respect to the forearm (Position 1) . Group 1 (ES) received five minutes of electrical stimulation to the dorsal surface of the forearm each weekday for a four week period. The placement of the electrodes were at the musculotendonous area of the extensor muscles of the hand. The intensity of the faradic stimulation was just below the subjects pain threshold. Each contraction elicited by the electrical stimulation was for a duration of 880 msec, and the relaxation between each contraction was 1030 msec. Group 2 (VI) performed four sets of eight Maximal Voluntary Contractions, where each contraction was held for a duration of two seconds. Training took place on the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of each week for a four week duration. Group 3 (ES+VIj performed the training of Groups 1 and 2 for four weeks. Subjects were tested for their Maximal Voluntary Contraction in both Position 1 and Position 2 (180 degrees with respect to the forearm). Endurance was calculated on the subjects fatigue curve. The time in seconds to 65% of their MVC (for each testing period) was used as a measure of their relative endurance. The testing of strength and endurance was done before any training took place, after two weeks of training, and at the duration of the four week period. Significant strength gains occurred in all three groups between the Pre test and Mid-Post in Position 1 and Position 2. During the Mid-Post training period only the ES+VI group had significant strength gains in Position 1; whereas in Position 2 both the ES and ES+VI groups yielded significant strength gains. It was illustrated that individual strength gains in the ES and VI groups were not additive in either position tested, and that one training method is not significantly better than another when observing mean strength gains over time. During the four week training period the endurance of the muscles did not alter significantly when locking at the mean of all three groups.

description: In the present article, Radiative Correction (RC) to the Casimir energy was computed for the self-interacting massive/massless Lifshitz-like scalar field, confined between a pair of plates with Dirichlet and Mixed boundary conditions in $3+1$ dimensions. Moreover, using the results obtained for the Dirichlet Casimir energy, the RC to the Casimir energy for Periodic and Neumann boundary conditions were also draw outed. To renormalize the bare parameters of the Lagrangian, a systematic perturbation expansion was used in which the counterterms were automatically obtained in a position-dependent manner. In our view, the position dependency of the counterterm was allowed, since it reflected the effects of the boundary condition imposed or the background space in the problem. All the answers obtained for the Casimir energy were consistent with well-known physical expects. In the language of graphs, the Casimir energy for the massive Lifshitz-like scalar field confined with four boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, Mixed, and Periodic) was also compared to each other, and as a concluding remark, the sign and magnitude of their values were discussed.

description: Feedback, in particular from active galactic nuclei (AGN), is believed to play a crucial role in the evolution of galaxies. In the local Universe, many galaxies with an AGN are indeed observed to reside in the so-called green valley, usually interpreted as a transition phase from a blue star-forming to a red quenched state. We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to show that such an interpretation requires substantial revision. Optically-selected nearby AGN galaxies follow exponentially declining star formation histories, as normal galaxies of similar stellar and dark matter halo mass, reaching in the recent past ($\sim$0.1 Gyr ago) star formation rate levels consistent with a quiescent population. However, we find that local AGN galaxies have experienced a sudden increase in their star formation rate, unfolding on timescales similar to those typical of AGN activity, suggesting that both star formation and AGN activity were triggered simultaneously. We find that this quenching followed by an enhancement in the star formation rate is common to AGN galaxies and more pronounced in early type galaxies. Our results demonstrate that local AGN galaxies are not just a simple transition type between star-forming and quiescent galaxies as previously postulated.

Theory of Mind in the Social Sciences: An Experiment On Strategic Thinking in Children

Publisher: name: Methode - Analytic Perspectives
Year: 2013

description: This study investigates mentalizing and strategic thinking in children in elementary school age (from 7 to 12 years old). Drawing from previous literature in behavioral and experiments economics and cognitive science, we conduct experiments in which children of different ages make choices in a series of one-shot, simultaneous move two-person games in normal form. We test the ability of our subjects to reason strategically and compare their behavioral patterns with those of adult players engaged in similar tasks (Di Guida and Devetag 2012). Our results show that even younger children are capable of perspective taking: they seem to grasp the essence of strategic thinking, to recognize similarities across games, and behave consistently. In addition, children are sensitive to the attractive power of focal points (Di Guida and Devetag 2012), which are perceived as natural coordination devices even when they are not part of the game equilibria, in line with previous results. Children are also able to perceive the risk-return tradeoffs implied in strategic decisions, as shown by their preference for â€œsafeâ€ strategies (i.e., strategies yielding an acceptable payoff for any choice of the opponent). Finally, only a minority behaves according to naÃ¯ve heuristics such as opting for the strategy giving the maximum payoff. Our findings contribute to the interdisciplinary literature on the origin of fairness-based norms within societies and on the cognitive and social determinants of strategic interaction.

However, the power of the modulated sidebands only agrees with calculations based on a recent theory of combined non-linear frequency and amplitude modulation.

description: Inspired by some intriguing examples, we study uniform association schemes and uniform coherent configurations, including cometric Q-antipodal association schemes. After a review of imprimitivity, we show that an imprimitive association scheme is uniform if and only if it is dismantlable, and we cast these schemes in the broader context of certain --- uniform --- coherent configurations. We also give a third characterization of uniform schemes in terms of the Krein parameters, and derive information on the primitive idempotents of such a scheme. In the second half of the paper, we apply these results to cometric association schemes. We show that each such scheme is uniform if and only if it is Q-antipodal, and derive results on the parameters of the subschemes and dismantled schemes of cometric Q-antipodal schemes. We revisit the correspondence between uniform indecomposable three-class schemes and linked systems of symmetric designs, and show that these are cometric Q-antipodal. We obtain a characterization of cometric Q-antipodal four-class schemes in terms of only a few parameters, and show that any strongly regular graph with a ("non-exceptional") strongly regular decomposition gives rise to such a scheme. Hemisystems in generalized quadrangles provide interesting examples of such decompositions. We finish with a short discussion of five-class schemes as well as a list of all feasible parameter sets for cometric Q-antipodal four-class schemes with at most six fibres and fibre size at most 2000, and describe the known examples. Most of these examples are related to groups, codes, and geometries.

description: The three-mile Upper Reach of the Logan River starting at the USU Water Lab to the 100 East bridge has been negatively impacted by residential development and diversion for agriculture and industry. A task force comprised of faculty at USU, professionals, government and city officials, and concerned residents has developed a Conservation Action Plan focused on twenty-two baseline indicators which, if improved, can help rehabilitate the river. This thesis looks at the factors that created the current challenges and seeks to provide a holistic vision with design solutions to address said challenges in alignment with that Plan. A literature review focused on Stephenson’s Cultural Values Model (2012) serves to understand the different perspectives applicable to the river. The Urban Stream Renovation (USR) model proposed by Smith et al (2016) helps clarify the interplay between social and ecological interests. The review also includes elements of Utah’s water laws and governmental practices that have contributed to water issues that affect the Logan River. Public consultations via community meetings and surveys between 2016 and 2019 consider the current interests and concerns of the residents. By looking at the Upper Reach from a social, policy, and environmental perspective, the project proposal designs aim to provide holistic and sustainable solutions that include the voices of the river, the residents, and the city.

description: We present the discovery of ZTF 21aaoryiz/SN 2021fcg -- an extremely low-luminosity Type Iax supernova. SN 2021fcg was discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility in the star-forming galaxy IC0512 at a distance of $\approx$ 27 Mpc. It reached a peak absolute magnitude of $M_{r} =$ $-12.66\pm0.20$ mag, making it the least luminous thermonuclear supernova discovered to date. The E(B-V) contribution from the underlying host galaxy is unconstrained. However, even if it were as large as 0.5 mag, the peak absolute magnitude would be $M_{r} = -13.78\pm0.20$ mag -- still consistent with being the lowest luminosity SN. Optical spectra of SN 2021fcg taken at 37 and 65 days post maximum show strong [Ca II], Ca II and Na I D emission and several weak [Fe II] emission lines. The [Ca II] emission in the two spectra has extremely low velocities of $\approx 1300$ and $1000$ km s$^{-1}$ respectively. The spectra very closely resemble those of the very low luminosity Type Iax supernovae SN 2008ha, SN 2010ae and SN 2019gsc taken at similar phases. The peak bolometric luminosity of SN 2021fcg is $\approx$ $2.5^{+1.5}_{-0.3}\times10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$ which is a factor of three lower than that for SN 2008ha. The bolometric lightcurve of SN 2021fcg is consistent with a very low ejected nickel mass (M$_{\rm{Ni}} \approx 0.8^{+0.4}_{-0.5}\times10^{-3}$ M$_{\odot}$). The low luminosity and nickel mass of SN 2021fcg pose a challenge to the picture that low luminosity SNe Iax originate from deflagrations of near M$_{\rm{ch}}$ hybrid carbon-oxygen-neon white dwarfs. Instead, the merger of a carbon-oxygen and oxygen-neon white dwarf is a promising model to explain SN 2021fcg.

title: Short Selling Around Reverse Stock Splits
Creators: name: Voges, Ryan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: I examine whether short selling increases around reverse stock splits using 2019 daily short selling data instead of bimonthly short interest data required by FINRA. In my difference-in-difference analysis, I find that average short selling increases significantly for firms that reverse split their stock, relative to matched control firms that do not, around the split dates. I also find that firms that reverse split their stock experience negative cumulative abnormal returns in the 20-day period after the reverse stock splits, particularly for those firms that are heavily shorted. These results are in agreeance with existent literature and suggest that short sellers are informed and correctly predict future negative abnormal returns. The results also suggest that short sellers put downward pressure on stock prices after reverse splits.

description: Perovskite materials have excellent prospects for semiconducting applications due to their desirable photoelectric properties. A lot of indoor and outdoor characterization testing was implemented on perovskite samples over the last few years, demonstrating the impact of several parameters on the perovskite lifetime and stability. Even, if a lot of research work has taken place with indoor and outdoor tests on perovskite devices over the last years, the application of optoelectronic and spectroscopic techniques on perovskite samples at different degradation stages is still required for perovskite mini-modules tested outdoors. In this work, advanced indoor characterization of perovskite mini-modules was implemented at different degradation stages. Several spectroscopic and optoelectronic methods such as spatially resolved Electroluminescence/Photoluminescence, Dark Lock-In Thermography, Ultrafast and Raman spectroscopies have been employed for this purpose. The evolution of hotspots, shunt resistance and defects have been detected after outdoor degradation of perovskite devices. Moreover, changes in carrier relaxation mechanisms and in structural and chemical changes were studied on samples at different stages of degradation.

description: [Abridged]We exploit a large homogeneous dataset to derive a self-consistent picture of IR emission based on the time-dependent 24, 15, 12 and 8micron monochromatic and bolometric IR luminosity functions (LF) over the 01. The mean redshift of the peak in the source number density shifts with luminosity: the brighest IR galaxies appear to be forming stars earlier in cosmic time (z>1.5), while the less luminous ones keep doing it at more recent epochs (z~1 for L(IR)<10^11L_sun). Our results suggest a rapid increase of the galaxy IR comoving volume emissivity back to z~1 and a constant average emissivity at z>1. We also seem to find a difference in the evolution rate of the source number densities as a function of luminosity, a downsizing evolutionary pattern similar to that reported from other samples of cosmic sources.

description: We present a physical model for the origin of z~2 Dust-Obscured Galaxies (DOGs), a class of high-redshift ULIRGs selected at 24 micron which are particularly optically faint (24/R>1000). By combining N-body/SPH simulations of high redshift galaxy evolution with 3D polychromatic dust radiative transfer models, we find that luminous DOGs (with F24 > 0.3 mJy at z~2 are well-modeled as extreme gas-rich mergers in massive (~5x10^12-10^13 Msun) halos, with elevated star formation rates (~500-1000 Msun/yr) and/or significant AGN growth (Mdot > 0.5 Msun/yr), whereas less luminous DOGs are more diverse in nature. At final coalescence, merger-driven DOGs transition from being starburst dominated to AGN dominated, evolving from a "bump" to a power-law shaped mid-IR (IRAC) spectral energy distribution (SED). After the DOG phase, the galaxy settles back to exhibiting a "bump" SED with bluer colors and lower star formation rates. While canonically power-law galaxies are associated with being AGN-dominated, we find that the power-law mid-IR SED can owe both to direct AGN contribution, as well as to a heavily dust obscured stellar bump at times that the galaxy is starburst dominated. Thus power-law galaxies can be either starburst or AGN dominated. Less luminous DOGs can be well-represented either by mergers, or by massive ($M_{\rm baryon} ~5x10^11 Msun) secularly evolving gas-rich disc galaxies (with SFR > 50 Msun/yr). By utilising similar models as those employed in the SMG formation study of Narayanan et al. (2010), we investigate the connection between DOGs and SMGs. We find that the most heavily star-forming merger driven DOGs can be selected as Submillimetre Galaxies (SMGs), while both merger-driven and secularly evolving DOGs typically satisfy the BzK selection criteria.

title: Retail Trading and Stock Volatility: The Case of Robinhood
Creators: name: Jones, Cooper
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: We examine the relation between Robinhood usership and stock market volatility. We show that daily fluctuations in Robinhood usership, which is used to proxy retail trading, significantly influence various measures of volatility. These results might suggest that Robinhood users contribute to noise trading as they are generally individuals trading on name recognition, media coverage, popularity, and familiarity of products, rather than on fundamental values. In our empirical approach, we find that the percentage increase in Robinhood usership Granger causes increases in daily stock volatility.
