description: Recently, it has been demonstrated the presence of Kaempferol in the petals of Crocus S. flowers that are normally discarded [1]. Kaempferol is an important antioxidant of the flavonoid family. Numerous reports have shown that kaempferol and/or its glycosides induce cell death in a variety of cancer cells from different tissues, also it can slow skin aging by contrasting enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix. This antioxidant has been extracted from Crocus S. petals with different alcohols. Isolation and purification was done by flash column chromatography. Fractions were analysed by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). Kaempferol was further characterised by infrared (IR), mass spectroscopy (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H & 13C NMR) spectroscopy. To be sure of the antioxidant property of the extracted Kaempferol, a DPPH test was performed. In this experiment, it was used a new hydrogel consisting of three polymers - Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), Agar, Polyethylene glycol (PEG) – and Kaempferol, mixed, reticulated and then sterilized by gamma irradiation at 25 kGy. [2]. For the in vitro experimental protocol, it was used a primary culture of fibroblasts taken from the subcutaneous tissue of a newborn mice, seeding the cells on a little square (1cm2 area) of the hydrogel with Kaempferol. As the ISO protocol prescribes, the experiments were repeated 3 times, stopping the culture at the 3rd, 7th and 14th day after the seeding. For all steps, 3 Petri dishes were used as controls without the biomaterial. At fixed deadline, all Petri dishes were stained, using the Wright method for cell counting and morphological evaluations. The microscopic analysis revealed the complete biocompatibility of the hydrogel. The Petri dishes with this kind of new hydrogel showed a production of collagen fibres similar of the Petri dishes without the hydrogel. The presence of this bioactive compound in saffron petals, paves the way of new possibilities for the best use of the Crocus S. hole flower.

description: We study the interconversion of multipartite symmetric $N$-qubit states under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC). We demonstrate that if two symmetric states can be connected with a nonsymmetric invertible local operation (ILO), then they belong necessarily to the separable, W, or GHZ entanglement class, establishing a practical method of discriminating subsets of entanglement classes. Furthermore, we prove that there always exists a symmetric ILO connecting any pair of symmetric $N$-qubit states equivalent under SLOCC, simplifying the requirements for experimental implementations of local interconversion of those states.

Set gennem breve hjem fra danskere udstationerede som gendarmer. (Race, rank and class in The Danish West Indies in the early 20th century Viewed through letters from Danes posted as gendarmes). Through readings of contemporary sources in the form of letters the article argues against a myth that Danish colonial administration was more humane and enlightened in The Danish West Indies than other nations' colonial administrations were. The article reconsiders Danish historiography from the 1940s and 1950s that is characterized as nationalist in the sense that the Danish picture of itself could be described as "small is good".

description: We investigate the vacuum expectation values of the field squared and the energy-momentum tensor for a massless scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter in spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes with an arbitrary number of toroidally compactified dimensions. When the comoving lengths of the compact dimensions are short compared to the Hubble length, the topological parts coincide with those for a conformal coupling. This limit corresponds to the adiabatic approximation. In the opposite limit of large comoving lengths of the compact dimensions, in dependence of the curvature coupling parameter, two regimes are realized with monotonic or oscillatory behavior of the vacuum expectation values.

description: Forage kochia (Bassia prostrata, [L.] A. J. Scott) (Synonym = Kochia prostrata [L.] Schrad.) is a perennial semi-shrub that is valued for its forage quality and ability to restore degraded rangeland. However, establishment success of forage kochia plantings in western North America has been erratic. These failures leave the land vulnerable to erosion and invasion of undesirable plants. This research focused on the germination dynamics of forage kochia accessions as it relates to harvest date, planting date, age of seed, and environmental conditions. The effect of planting date, age of seed, and environmental conditions on forage kochia germination was elucidated by planting recently harvested (2010) and year-old, cold-stored seed (2009) monthly, during a four-month period at two locations. Two entries were tested, Immigrant, the standard subspecies virescens cultivar, and an experimental line, Sahsel, of subspecies grisea. Regardless of planting date, location, or age of seed, Sahsel exhibited higher germination percentages than Immigrant. The age of the seed lots used also significantly affected (P

description: This thesis is a career biography, and chronicles the life and service of Stephen Clegg Rowan, an officer in the United States Navy, and his role in the larger picture of American naval history. The author has utilized mainly primary sources, including a journal kept by Rowan himself (transcribed from a microfilm copy of a handwritten journal, 900+ pages), and the Official Records of the United States military branches that were kept during the course of the Civil War. Rowan's wartime experiences and the contributions he made during the Second Seminole War, the Mexican War, and the Civil War form the framework of this paper. It also covers the interim periods, during which Rowan participated in other pursuits of the US Navy, including exploration and diplomatic ventures. It concludes with a brief overview of Rowan's accomplishments while serving in the Navy, and his family's continued military service. This thesis outlines the larger role played by the Navy in each engagement, with particular emphasis on the theaters of war in which Rowan participated (the Californian and Mexican west coast during the Mexican War, and his riverine and coastal services during the Civil War). It also examines the broader impact and influence that these experiences had on Rowan as an individual and on the navy as a whole.

description: Bodil Stilling Blichfeldt, Emilie Wammen, Zuzana Krystynovaand Tobias Bjørn Consumption of tattoos. Getting, Having and Being. In recent years the scope of consumption studies has expanded and increasingly includes studies of more ‘untraditional’ consumption acts. However, few studies have looked at the consumption of tattoos. Tattoos are interesting in a consumption context since they are, literally, very durable ‘products’ difficult to ‘dispose’ of. In the paper, we account for the results of a qualitative study of tattoos as consumption that both has tribal elements and is highly intertwined with identity construction. A key finding is that there seems to be major differences between people with only one, or a few, tattoos and heavily tattooed people. To the first group, the decision to get a tattoo as well as the design of the tattoo are crucial, and more often than not the tattoo qualifies as a signifier of a special event, occasion or relation to significant others. To the other group the tattoo itself is of lesser importance as this group enacts being heavily tattooed as tribal and seems more interested in (or even addicted to) the act of actually getting tattooed than in having a tattoo.

Communication with children : an aspect of foster home placement with social work with children
Creators: name: Bryenton, Joy Gertrude
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This study is concerned with the social workers ways of communicating with children in foster placement and related situations. It examines what, exactly, is communicated to the child by the social worker, operating within Agency policy and structure; and the effect that this communication has on the child's ability to respond to placement as treatment. It is concerned, also, with the various methods by which the child's needs are communicated to the social worker; and the ways in which the worker responds to those needs, with special emphasis on when, how, and why the social worker communicates directly with the child. The study proceeds from a review of some of the recent literature on semantics as well as recent child welfare literature. This is supplemented by material gathered from interviews with twelve professionally-trained social workers, currently employed in child welfare work in and near Vancouver, and illustrated with brief summaries of six cases from their practice. The workers were interviewed with the purpose of ascertaining from them: what they judged to be the more effective ways they had found of communicating with children; their definition of the use they make of direct communication with children, indirect communication through parents or foster parents, and of joint interviewing; what they see as their particular contribution to the child in the placement situation; and some of the difficulties they encounter in performing their work. The results point up the differences between children and adults, and the effects of these differences on methods of communication. They emphasize the treatment aspect of placement, and the importance of structure, plan, and clear definition of treatment goals in order to enable the worker to channel her communications, both to the child and on behalf of the child, toward establishing hope and confidence in the possible achievement of those goals. It indicates a need for further study of communication and casework, with some implications for further refining the definition of the scope and limits of the casework method.
Supernovae-induced accretion and star formation in the inner kiloparsec of a gaseous disk

description: We consider the effects of supernovae (SNe) on accretion and star formation in a massive gaseous disk in a large primeval galaxy. The gaseous disk we envisage, roughly 1 kiloparsec (kpc) in size with >~ 10^8 M_Sun of gas, could have formed as a result of galaxy mergers where tidal interactions removed angular momentum from gas at larger radius and thereby concentrated it within the central ~ 1 kpc region. We find that SNe lead to accretion in the disk at a rate of roughly 0.1 - 1 M_Sun per year and induce star formation at a rate of ~ 10 - 100 M_Sun per year which contributes to the formation of a bulge; a part of the stellar velocity dispersion is due to the speed of SNa shells from which stars are formed and a part due to the repeated action of the stochastic gravitational field of the network of SNa remnants on stars. The rate of SNe in the inner kpc is shown to be self- regulating, and it cycles through phases of low and high activity. The supernova-assisted accretion transports gas from about one kpc to within a few pc of the center. If this accretion were to continue down to the central black hole (BH) then the resulting ratio of BH mass to the stellar mass in the bulge would be of order ~ 10^-2 - 10^-3, in line with the observed Magorrian relation.

description: Bodil Stilling Blichfeldt, Marie Mikkelsen and Lisa Brønnum Andersen Cooking up the self. Food can be regarded as symbolic as well as a means of socializing. Furthermore, the media landscape is littered with cooking books and magazines, TV cooking programs, gastro blogs and websites, and a constantly increasing number of celebrity chefs. Giving voice to a series of consumers with a particular interest in food, this paper discusses symbolic and social dimensions of food that are central to these consumers. In particular, the interviewees point to food as an example of gift giving, caring, prestige and an important part of one’s ‘social self’. Moreover, the interviewees point to ‘gastro-porn’ as entertainment that allows for them to daydream about an ‘alternate self’. The paper elaborates on these issues and hereby points to food as imbedded in social webs and the constructions of meaningful selves.

title: First-Time Homebuyers' Perceived Preparedness: A Realtors' Perspective
Creators: name: Aaberg, Jordan Jerome
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this research study was to identify, from the perception of realtors, how prepared first-time homebuyers (FTHBs) are when purchasing a home and to discover what kind of issues and problems arose during the home-buying process. This study also identified common factors used by realtors to identify: how FTHBs are prepared, usefulness of FTHB workshops, FTHBs' mortgage knowledge, and recommendations to better prepare FTHBs. The goal was twofold: identify areas in the home-buying process where FTHBs are less prepared and provide information to financial educators and real estate agents to help fill the gap in FTHB preparedness. This study covered three main areas of buying a home: pre-purchase preparedness, mortgage finance, and the closing process. Data for this study were collected using an online survey emailed to realtors in the Cache Rich Association of Realtors (CRAR) in Northern Utah. A total of 66 realtors responded to the survey. Descriptive statistics, matched pair t tests, correlations, and simple regression analyses were used. Overall, realtors find their FTHB clients to be less than somewhat prepared. This is evident when the mean percentage of FTHBs that realtors stated were well-prepared for homeownership was only 44.4%. According to realtors' perceptions, many FTHBs did not have their personal finances in order and poorly understood the cost of obtaining a mortgage and its process. The analysis of the data collected from realtors' responses also identified the most frequent problem or issue that arose during the home-buying process was obtaining a mortgage. When asked if FTHB workshops are useful, 60% of realtors perceived them to be more than somewhat useful. Reasons for their usefulness included being educational, beneficial, and preparing FTHBs for buying a home. Results also indicated that the level of mortgage knowledge and knowledge about housing sustainability directly related to the level of pre-purchase preparedness of FTHBs as perceived by realtors. When pre-purchase preparedness levels were low, mortgage knowledge and knowledge about housing sustainability levels were also perceived to be low. In the end, realtors offered their suggestions on how to better prepare FTHBs for homeownership and their answer to this question was to have FTHBs work with a qualified realtor and network of professionals. The second most frequent response was to educate FTHBs on affordability and housing sustainability.
Van Hove singularities in the paramagnetic phase of the Hubbard model: a DMFT study

description: Using the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) we study the paramagnetic phase of the Hubbard model with the density of states (DOS) corresponding to the three-dimensional cubic lattice and the two-dimensional square lattice, as well as a DOS with inverse square root singularity. We show that the electron correlations rapidly smooth out the square-root van Hove singularities (kinks) in the spectral function for the 3D lattice and that the Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) as well as the magnetic-field-induced MIT differ only little from the well-known results for the Bethe lattice. The consequences of the logarithmic singularity in the DOS for the 2D lattice are more dramatic. At half filling, the divergence pinned at the Fermi level is not washed out, only its integrated weight decreases as the interaction is increased. While the Mott transition is still of the usual kind, the magnetic-field-induced MIT falls into a different universality class as there is no field-induced localization of quasiparticles. In the case of a power-law singularity in the DOS at the Fermi level, the power-law singularity persists in the presence of interaction, albeit with a different exponent, and the effective impurity model in the DMFT turns out to be a pseudo-gap Anderson impurity model with a hybridization function which vanishes at the Fermi level. The system is then a generalized Fermi liquid. At finite doping, regular Fermi liquid behavior is recovered.

description: Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5A) is responsible for hydrolysis of cGMP, a second messenger regulating many physiological functions in cardiac myocytes. PDE5A involvement in cardiac hypertrophy has been reported and the use of its inhibitor, sildenafil, has reverted the pathological increase of cardiac size in humans and in animal models (Nagendran et al., 2007). In humans, a single PDE5 gene encodes for three isoforms (PDE5A1, A2 and A3), which differ in their N-terminus being translated from alternative initiation sites (Lin et al., 2000). The isoforms exhibit specific tissue expression patterns and different sensitivities to pharmacological inhibitors. However, little is known about their specific biological roles. The existence of three murine PDE5A isoforms was predicted through human gene homology and confirmed by RT-PCR. Tissue expression pattern of each variant was uncovered by RT-PCR and western blot analysis. In adult heart, transcripts encoding for the three isoforms were detected. In cardiomyocytes primary cultures and cell lines PDE5A isoforms localization was revealed by fluorescence microscopy analysis and subcellular fractioning. Their phosphodiesterasic activities and sildenafil sensibilities were measured by radioactive assays. Finally, post-translational modifications were explored. Hypertrophic stimuli resulted in Ser 92 phosphorylation of PDE5A isoforms, possibly through by Protein Kinase A. In summary, the understanding of PDE5A isoforms localization and differential activation and activity might be an important step toward the improvement of the diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive values of PDE5A in hypertrophy treatment.

description: Porcine Sertoli cells (pSC) have been successfully employed as cell therapy in pre-clinical studies of several immune-based and chronic degenerative diseases. In order to prevent any transmission of infectious adventitious agents to the cells graft recipients, we have set up, according to our previously described method (Luca et al., 2007) pSC monolayers obtained from specific pathogen free (SPF) certified neonatal pigs, born in the unique SPF colony in Italy. pSC were assessed and characterized as far as viability, by ethidium bromide and fluorescein diacetate (EB/FD), Müllerian inhibiting substance (AMH), and insulin-like 3 (INSL3), alpha-smooth muscle actin (ASMI) both by immunofluorescence (IF) and cytofluorimetric analysis (CA) were concerned. pSC were encapsulated in alginate microcapsules (MCpSC), with MCp- SC functional competence and biocompatibility being determined both in vitro, by AMH, inhibin B, TGF-beta, IGF-I secretion and in vivo in experimental animal models, respectively. Results demonstrated the high purity of our pSC monolayers (95% of AMH+cells), with negligible contamination by Leydig (2%) and peritubular cells (3%). Microencapsulation did not alter pSC viability and even after 4 months postimplantation, all the retrieved microcapsules retained morphology and function. In conclusion, we have uniquely obtained, from a SPF herd, highly purified, viable and functional pSC that might poten-tially apply to humans.

description: This paper addresses the issue of detecting point objects in a clutter background and estimating their position by image processing. We are interested in the specific context where the object signature significantly varies with its random subpixel location because of aliasing. Conventional matched filter neglects this phenomenon and causes consistent loss of detection performance. Thus, alternative detectors are proposed and numerical results show the improvement brought by approximate and generalized likelihood ratio tests in comparison with pixel matched filtering. We also study the performance of two types of subpixel position estimators. Finally, we put forward the major influence of sensor design on both estimation and point object detection performance.
title: The Effect of Growth Parameters on the Height and Density of Carbon Nanotube Forests
Creators: name: Call, Robert Welch
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Carbon nanotube forests (CNTFs) are grown using an injection chemical vapor deposition method. Images of CNTFs are taken using a scanning electron microscope and are used to measure their height and density. Growth parameters are systematically varied to determine their effect on the height and density of CNTFs. Investigations of CNTF density as a function of distance from the growth substrate reveal that diffusion can be a limiting factor on CNTF growth. Our findings indicate that height and density are related and that each growth parameter has multi-dimensional effects.

description: Peter Stein Larsen, Martin Gregersen and Tobias SkiverenHvad er forfatterskolelitteratur? (What is literature from author schools?). The article offers an initial characterization of critical attitudes to and conceptions of literature from author schools, which it finds erroneous and prejudiced. It continues to present the three most notable traditions based on a survey of 44 author school débuts. The three traditions are: avant-garde, prose lyricism, and prose realism, and in this connection more specifically a selection of the techniques each tradition utilizes, i.e. conceptualism, unceremonious attitudes and the plausible character portrait.

description: We propose the introduction of a Heisenberg symmetry of the Kahler potential to solve the problems with chaotic inflation in supergravity, as a viable alternative to the use of shift symmetry. The slope of the inflaton potential emerges from a small Heisenberg symmetry breaking term in the superpotential. The modulus field of the Heisenberg symmetry is stabilized and made heavy with the help of the large vacuum energy density during inflation. The observable predictions are indistinguishable from those of typical chaotic inflation models, however the form of the inflationary superpotential considered here may be interpreted in terms of sneutrino inflation arising from certain classes of string theory.

description: Just few years ago, molecular studies were performed by identifying and testing a single molecule and/or a sample at a time. To date the technological advances have made possible to design systems able to study simultaneously, in a single experiment, thousands of biological molecules in different samples with important scientific implications. Although not yet commonly used in clinical and diagnostic practice, microarrays represent a fundamental innovation, destined to be ever more present in the panorama of biology and medicine. Their versatility, the possibility of making a large number of tests on relatively small amounts of biological material, the speed at which the examinations can be performed, are factors that open new perspectives, offering opportunities unimaginable until now. With the generic term of microarray are combined technologies and applications very different between them, such as: array of gene expression, for comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH), for single nucleotide polymorphisms studies (SNP), protein arrays and arrays for methylation studies. The applications of microarray technology in basic research are manifold, including functional characterization of genes, identification of metabolic and physiological processes associated genes, identification of genes that regulate specific pathways or cellular responses to specific stimuli, toxicogenomics and pharmacogenomics. Many of these applications have the potential to address important clinical issues such as the identification of genes related to the abnormal biological behavior, the characterization of gene expression profiles for the prediction of disease progression, prognosis, treatment and understanding the genetic basis of multifactorial diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cancer.

Superconductivity in the repulsive Hubbard model: an asymptotically exact weak-coupling solution

description: We study the phase diagram of the Hubbard model in the limit where U, the onsite repulsive interaction, is much smaller than the bandwidth. We present an asymptotically exact expression for T$_c$, the superconducting transition temperature, in terms of the correlation functions of the non-interacting system which is valid for arbitrary densities so long as the interactions are sufficiently small. Our strategy for computing T$_c$ involves first integrating out all degrees of freedom having energy higher than an unphysical initial cutoff $Ω_0$. Then, the renormalization group (RG) flows of the resulting effective action are computed and T$_c$ is obtained by determining the scale below which the RG flows in the Cooper channel diverge. We prove that T$_c$ is independent of $Ω_0$. Using this method, we find a variety of unconventional superconducting ground states in two and three dimensional lattice systems and present explicit results for T$_c$ and pairing symmetries as a function of the electron concentration.

title: An Exploration of the Relationships Among Connectedness to Nature, Quality of Life, and Mental Health
Creators: name: Tauber, Peter Gelden
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The current study examined the relationships among connectedness to nature (CTN), quality of life (QOL), and mental health (MH). Theory in biophilia and ecopsychology has emphasized the importance of the human relationship with the natural world for the health of individuals, our species, and our planet as a whole. Previous research has documented the relationship between experiences in nature and outcomes of health and well-being. However, scant research has examined the correlates of the concept of CTN. Furthermore, no research has examined the relationship between CTN and measures of well-being such as QOL or MH. In the current study, 267 undergraduate students completed a series of self-report items measuring CTN, QOL, MH, and demographic characteristics. Significant relationships between CTN and all categories of dependent variables (QOL, MH, and demographics) were found. In addition, the subcategory of CTN closely related to the desire for direct experiences in nature, NR experience was shown to have a stronger relationship to QOL and MH than overall CTN--as evidenced by more significant correlations and by serving as a better predictive model through multiple regression. QOL, MH, and demographic variables were collectively found to predict 21% of the variance in overall CTN, while those same variables were found to predict 35% of the variance in NR experience. Implications of these findings based on previous research, limitations of the current study, and future avenues of research are discussed.

description: We briefly review central concepts concerning nonextensive statistical mechanics, based on the nonadditive entropy $S_q=k\frac{1-\sum_{i}p_i^q}{q-1} (q \in {\cal R}; S_1=-k\sum_{i}p_i \ln p_i)$. Among others, we focus on possible realizations of the $q$-generalized Central Limit Theorem, including at the edge of chaos of the logistic map, and for quasi-stationary states of many-body long-range-interacting Hamiltonian systems.

description: Caralluma fimbriata (Apocynaceae) is mainly employed as nutritional supplement to reduce body weight (Dutt et al, 2012) due to the presence of pregnane glycosides, also contained in other plants, all used as “natural” slimming essences. Nowadays, there is only few scientific evidence over the efficacy and safety of C. fimbriata. (Odendaal et al, 2013) The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a standardized extract of C. fimbriata (Slimaluma ®) for a prolonged treatment (58 days). 18 normal weight female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to a control and a C. fimbriata treated groups. Animal body weight, food and water consumption were recorded three times a week. Blood, liver, intestine and brain (hypothalamus and cerebral cortex) samples were collected and used for clinical chemical tests, histomorphological and ultrastructural investigations and also immunohistochemical evaluation of NPY expression. The results have not highlighted any significant effect in control and treated rats on body weight, haematic and metabolic parameters (insulin, glycaemia, HOMA-IR, AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, LDH, HDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, amylase, lipase, total proteins), liver and gut structure and ultrastructure. A significant increase in food and water consumption was found in treated rats without any increase of animal body weight; moreover an increase of NPY was found in the cerebral cortex and hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. The C. fimbriata administration seems related to a modified distribution of NPY, as orexigenic neuromediator, in CNS.

description: We have observed the NGC 2403 group of galaxies using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) in a search for faint, extended neutral hydrogen clouds similar to the clouds found around the M81/M82 group, which is located approximately 250 kpc from the NGC 2403 group along the same filament of galaxies. For an HI cloud with a size < 10 kpc within 50 kpc of a group galaxy, our 7-sigma mass detection limit is 2.2 x 10^6 M_sun for a cloud with a linewidth of 20 km/s, over the velocity range from -890 to 1750 km/s. At this sensitivity level we detect 3 new HI clouds in the direction of the group, as well as the known galaxies. The mean velocity of the new clouds differs from that of the group galaxies by more than 250 km/s, but are in the range of Milky Way High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) in that direction. It is most likely that the clouds are part of the Milky Way HVC population. If HI clouds exist in the NGC 2403 group, their masses are less than 2.2 x 10^6 M_sun. We also compared our results to structures that are expected based on recent cosmological models, and found none of the predicted clouds. If NGC 2403 is surrounded by a population of dark matter halos similar to those proposed for the Milky Way in recent models, our observations imply that their HI content is less than 1% of their total mass.

title: The Relationship of Outdoor Recreation and Gardening With Depression Among Individuals With Disabilities
Creators: name: Wilson, Justin Floyd
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Activities involving natural environments have positive psychological impacts on participants. Both outdoor recreation and gardening have been shown to reduce feelings of depression. However, the effects of these activities on the depression levels of individuals with disabilities have not yet been studied. In order to better understand the relationship between these activities and depression among individuals with disabilities, two separate studies were conducted.
The first study seeks to better understand the relationship between outdoor recreation participation and depression among Montana residents with disabilities using publicly available Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data. It hypothesizes that depression would be negatively correlated with outdoor recreation participation and that individuals participating more frequently in outdoor recreation activities would have lower overall depression index scores. This study compares three outdoor recreation predictors (dichotomized participation, participation index score, and participation frequencies) to two depression dependents (dichotomized current major depression and raw depression index score). Results reveal that there is a negative relationship between outdoor recreation participation and depression, outdoor recreation participants had lower overall depression scores than non-participants, and lower depression scores were related to more frequent outdoor recreation participation. Respondents participating in outdoor recreation at least four times a week had the lowest mean depression score.
The second study, also using BRFSS data, sought to identify the relationship between gardening and depression among Utah residents with disabilities. This study hypothesized that participation in gardening activities would be negatively correlated to depression. In order to test this hypothesis, this study compared the mean depression scores of five different gardening categories: non-gardeners, past gardeners, non-current gardeners, lifetime gardeners, and current gardeners. It likewise compared gardening status with depression scores to identify a linear relationship. Results reveal that there is a negative linear relationship between gardening and depression. Current gardeners and lifetime gardeners had significantly lower overall depression scores than non-gardeners.
