description: Social dominance is the most important known behavior to reproductive success of males across the animal kingdom. A high social dominance rank is usually gained by physical competition or signals displaying competitor quality. Despite its importance in shaping the diversity seen in the animal kingdom, little is known about specific traits that promote high competitive ability within an individual. In this dissertation, I begin to elucidate some of the behavioral physiology underpinning competitive ability in the premier mammalian model system, the house mice (Mus musculus). House mice are ideally suited for this study because of a well-characterized natural history demonstrating that dominant males gain ~90% of all fitness, while still having to perform many other behaviors, such as foraging. In this dissertation, I provide an overview of the some hypothesized constraints on the evolution of competitive ability and phenotypic trade-offs with other important life-history traits. Second, I describe an experiment that investigated multiple traits at several levels of biological for their possible influence on competitive ability. I demonstrate that competitive ability is heritable, moderately influenced by relative body mass, and negatively influence by litter sex ratio. No effect of litter size, relative age, or placement order was seen. Third, I demonstrate that aggression and competitive ability are distinct phenomena in iv this system. Next, I demonstrate that primary signaling pheromone of house mice, major urinary proteins, do not advertise rank but are responsive to social experience. Finally, I switch clades and demonstrate that relative brain size in primates is positively associated with intensity of male-male competition. Collectively, this project demonstrates that competitive ability is an extremely complicated phenotype and merits a great deal more study.

description: This paper investigates the relationship between the positivity rate and numbers of deaths and intensive care unit (ICU) patients. In addition, it explores the use of the positivity rate as an indicator for the spread of COVID-19. We used COVID-19 datasets for eight countries, including Canada, USA, UK, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Colombia, and South Africa, and considered two correlation cases. The first case considers the correlation of the number of confirmed cases with each of the deaths and ICU patients. The second case considers the correlation of the positivity rate with each of the deaths and ICU patients. When obtaining the correlation, we considered different lagging periods between the date of confirming a case and the date of its ICU admittance or death. We compared the obtained correlation coefficient values for each of the two considered cases to explore whether the positivity rate is a better indicator for the spread of the disease than the confirmed cases. For each of the eight considered countries, we obtained the daily reproduction number using each of the confirmed cases and the positivity rate. The two obtained sets of reproduction number values for each country were statistically compared to investigate whether they are significantly different. When considering the daily positivity rate instead of the daily number of confirmed cases, the maximum correlation with the deaths is increased by 349.9% for the USA (the country with the highest increase) and 4.5% for the UK (the country with the lowest increase), with an average increase of 60.8% considering the eight countries. Considering the daily positivity rate instead of the daily number of confirmed cases caused the maximum correlation with the number of ICU patients to be increased by 74.7% for the USA (the country with the highest increase) and 2.2% for the UK (the country with the lowest increase), with an average increase of 25% over the considered countries. The results for the daily reproduction number obtained using the positivity rate are statistically different from those obtained using daily confirmed cases. The results indicate that the positivity rate is a better indicator for the spread of the disease than the number of confirmed cases. Therefore, it is highly advised to use measures based on the positivity rate when indicating the spread of the disease and considering responses accordingly because these measures consider the daily number of tests and the confirmed cases.

description: Special aerial photographic imagery of the Southern Mississippi Alluvial Valley taken in I969 was compared with conventional photographic imagery of the region taken in I950 to obtain data on land clearing, land use, and land use change. In 1969, cropland totaled 13.7 million acres or 57 percent of the 24-million-acre study area and forest covered 7.5 million acres (31 percent) . Less than two decades earlier, forest land predominated with 11.5 million acres (48 percent) and cropland ranked second with 10.0 million acres (41 percent). Grassland accounted for only 4 percent of the area in both 1969 and 1950. During the study period, 3.8 million acres of forest, 0.2 million acres of grassland, and 0.1 million acres of miscellaneous area shifted to crop use. Slightly offsetting these increases, 0.2 million acres of cropland reverted to forest and 0.2 million acres shifted to grassland, urban, and miscellaneous use. Land capability data from another source indicates that as of 1967 about 5.0 million additional acres of forest land could be cleared and used for crops.

description: We present the synthesis and structure-activity relationships of sulfonatocalix[4]arene hosts bearing novel substitutions. The calix[4]arenes are modified on the upper rim at either one or two of the phenolic units, where the dual modifications are introduced regioselectively on neighbouring or opposing phenols. The calix[4]arenes are mono- or di-functionalised with nitro or formyl groups, with the remaining upper-rim sites in all cases occupied by sulphonates. Equilibrium association constants were determined between each host and the guests nicotine, nornicotine, and cotinine. Indicator displacement-based binding studies show that nicotine binds most strongly to the different members of the library followed by nornicotine, whereas cotinine displays weak to no binding. NMR titrations were carried out with nicotine and show different host-guest interaction geometries for the formyl-calix[4]arenes versus the nitro-calix[4]arenes.

Uncertainty

description: Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has become a popular technique to detect brain white matter structure. However, imaging noise, imaging artifacts, and modeling techniques, etc., create many uncertainties, which may generate misleading information for further analysis or applications, such as surgical planning. Therefore, how to analyze, effectively visualize, and reduce these uncertainties become very important research questions. In this dissertation, we present both rank-k decomposition and direct decomposition approaches based on spherical deconvolution to decompose the fiber directions more accurately for high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data, which will reduce the uncertainties of the fiber directions. By applying volume rendering techniques to an ensemble of 3D orientation distribution function (ODF) glyphs, which we call SIP functions of diffusion shapes, one can elucidate the complex heteroscedastic structural variation in these local diffusion shapes. Furthermore, we quantify the extent of this variation by measuring the fraction of the volume of these shapes, which is consistent across all noise levels, the certain volume ratio. To better understand the uncertainties in white matter fiber tracks, we propose three metrics to quantify the differences between the results of diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) fiber tracking algorithms: the area between corresponding fibers of each bundle, the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between two fiber bundle volumes, and the current distance between two fiber bundle volumes. Based on these metrics, we discuss an interactive fiber track comparison visualization toolkit we have developed to visualize these uncertainties more efficiently. Physical phantoms, with high repeatability and reproducibility, are also designed with the hope of validating the dMRI techniques. In summary, this dissertation provides a better understanding about uncertainties in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging: where and how much are the uncertainties? How do we reduce these uncertainties? How can we possibly validate our algorithms?

description: This dissertation is a comparative grammar of the four known Xinkan languages of southeastern Guatemala (Guazacapán, Chiquimulilla, Jumaytepeque, and Yupiltepeque). The goal of this grammar is twofold: to provide a thorough description of the Xinkan languages and to reconstruct Proto-Xinkan from which these four languages developed. Xinkan languages currently are represented by only three people, all of whom are second language users of the language. This grammar begins with an introduction to the language family, the past research on Xinkan languages, and the goals behind the descriptions. In addition to this introduction to the language, a typological overview is included which highlights and outlines the interesting typological phenonmena in the languages with specific references to sections within the grammar for a detailed analysis of each part of the language.
One-dimensional plasmons confined in bilayer graphene P-N junctions
Creators: name: Hassan, Nora M.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2015

description: We investigated one-dimensional plasmon propagation in bilayer graphene under the effect of in-plane electric field E0. Because of the gapless nature of graphene spectrum the applied electric field can induce separation of charges creating a p-n junction that split the width of the flake into positively and negatively charged halves. The fluctuations of the induced charge density and nonhomogeneity of charge distribution across the width of the flake underlie the propagation of one-dimensional plasmon along the p-n junction. The flake dimensions and electric field were chosen large enough to allow semiclassical treatment through the approximation of charge carriers as 2D fluid and the use of hydrodynamic model to obtain the dispersion relations. In the limit of short wavelength, even modes had higher energies than odd ones. Surprisingly, that behavior was reversed with the first even mode becoming the lowest mode in the limit of long wavelengths. In all cases the plasmon spectra were proportional to √E0. We considered a second case where an additional perpendicular electric field was applied through a gate. In that case, the additional field created a gap in the spectrum of graphene resulting in a neutral strip along the flake. The spectrum was linear in electric field E0 indicating more sensitivity to the applied field in gated bilayer than in gapless case.

description: Fauna from hominin-bearing Pliocene and Pleistocene sites in the Omo-Turkana Basin have long been valuable in assessing how the climate of East Africa over the past 5 Ma has changed. Stable C and O isotope ratios in the enamel of fossil herbivores at a Paranthropus boisei-bearing Pleistocene archaeological site on the west side of Lake Turkana give insight on vegetation coverage and moisture conditions for this area between 1.87 and 1.80 Ma; samples were from a faunal assemblage associated with excavations at two sites at Kokiselei. Average 513C enamel values of -1.6 ± 3.6%o (n=8o) indicate a C4-dominated landscape. Equids, suids, hippopotamids, and most bovids have C4-dominated diets; tragelaphines have mixed C3- C4 diets; Giraffa and Deinotherium have a C3-dominated diet. Average 618O values of +0.2 ± 1.7%0 indicate the presence of water relatively less enriched in 18O than modern Turkana Basin waters that have been measured. Low 618O values in evaporation-sensitive taxa such as Giraffa indicate less aridity than modern Turkana grassland and shrubland. Overall results suggest that during the early Pleistocene, P. boisei inhabited dominantly open wooded grassland that experienced a significantly different moisture regime from that of the present day.

description: The need for precise micro/nano-positioning has arisen in many fields of research and technology. Piezoelectric stick-slip actuators are widely used where precise positioning over a wide range of motion is required. Controlling manipulators that utilize piezoelectric stick-slip actuators is not a trivial task, as these actuators have a discrete stepping nature, with a step size that is influenced by a variety of factors such as actuator loading, temperature, and humidity. Absence of integrated joint sensors in manipulators that use piezoelectric stick-slip actuators (which is typical), as well as difficulty in using vision feedback for closed-loop control, has led to development of open-loop modeling methods to estimate the step size of the actuators. Prior work has failed to characterize and quantify the effects of various parameters on the displacement of such actuators to a degree as to be easily utilized in the control of an actual manipulator. In this thesis, we propose an empirically derived predictive open-loop model for the step size of the prismatic and rotary piezoelectric-stick-slip-actuated joints of a Kleindiek MM3A micromanipulator, based on static and inertial loads due to the mass of the manipulator's links as well as loads applied to the end-effector. The effects of various parameters on the step size of each joint are quantified and characterized. The results obtained are then fit into a model based on nonlinear regression via joint-specific parameters. Calibration routines are developed to quickly determine the joint-specific parameters for use in the derived predictive step-size model. Using the model obtained, we can predict the step size with an accuracy of 20% (100 nm) for the prismatic joint of the manipulator, and 2% (1 ^rad) for the rotary joints of the manipulator.

description: This thesis describes the characterization of two repetitive sequence families of the South African frog, Xenopus laevis. One family consists of repeated sequences 741 base pairs in length and the other family consists of repeated sequences 388 base pairs in length.  Representative members of each family have been cloned. The structural organization of the sequence families was analyzed using the Southern blot technique. The 741 bp sequence was found to occur in tandem blocks of up to at least fourteen repeats. Sequence variants were found which have gained or lost the recognition sites for particular restriction enzymes. A DNA sequence approximately 1000 bp in length was found to have homology to the 741 bp sequence.  Structural analysis of the 388 bp sequence revealed that it occurs in tandem blocks containing up to at least 12 repeats.  Sequence variants occur within the population. This family was found to have a novel structural organization. The 388 bp sequence was found to occur in clusters with variable numbers of repeats; most of the clusters were found to have common flanking sequences. The X. laevis 388 bp sequence was found to have homology to a sequence of similar size found in two related species, X. boreal is and X. mulleri. The structural arrangement of these homologous families appears very similar to that found in X. laevis.  The nucleotide sequences of the cloned 388 bp and 741 bp fragments were determined. The two sequences do not share obvious homology with each other. The sequences are not composed of simpler repeats. Potential open reading frames for short proteins were found in each sequence.  Total RNA from X. laevis livers, embryos and oocytes was analyzed for the presence of homology to the cloned fragments. No evidence of stable transcripts of these sequences was found.
Talker background and individual differences in the speech intelligibility benefit

Talker background

description: One way talkers can increase intelligibility is by producing clear speech. Though clear speech, as opposed to conversational speech (ConvS), generally increases intelligibility (known as the clear speech intelligibility benefit), not all talkers exhibit the same degree of benefit. Ferguson showed that while intelligibility increased across talkers for clear speech, when looking at individual talkers, the benefit ranged from -12.1 -33.3%. While most talkers were more intelligible during clear speech, some talkers actually became less intelligible. To explain individual differences like these, most researchers have explored acoustic, temporal, and syntactic factors. The current study probes three additional factors, ones relating to talker background: talker experience communicating with nonnative (L2) speakers, talkers' attitudes toward nonnatives, and talker experience as an L2 speaker. Twenty L2 English listeners transcribed sentences from 20 L1 English speakers as they were produced in ConvS and nonnative directed speech (NNDS; a type of clear speech). Intelligibility scores for ConvS and NNDS were compared to measure individual differences in intelligibility and to calculate the clear speech benefit for each talker. Scores were compared with the talkers' answers on a questionnaire to determine whether the variables affected the talkers' intelligibility. Results of the transcription task showed greater overall intelligibility for NNDS than ConvS; however, this was not the case for all talkers. Additionally, talkers varied widely in the benefit they provided the L2 listeners. When comparing results to the questionnaire, only talker experience as an L2 speaker was shown to affect intelligibility for L2 listeners.

description: In the present work, we have successfully synthesised graphene oxide (GO) from the Bio-soot wastes where Bio-soot was used as a graphite source. The prepared GO has been characterised by using XRD, FTIR, Raman, BET, FE-SEM analytical techniques and has been used as an adsorbent for decontamination of highly noxious Methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous media. The adsorption studies have been investigated by changing the different parameters like adsorbent dosages, pH of the solution, contact time and initial concentration. The obtained adsorption data have been fitted into various kinetic and isotherm models and concluded that adsorption of MB follows second order kinetics and Langmuir models with maximum adsorption capacities 90.20 mg/g which is double as compared to Bio-soot that was 41.42 mg/g. This is due to the increase in adsorption active sites by introducing oxygen-containing groups on Bio-soot surface.
Whelm: a book of poems

description: Whelm is part wildness and part witness, part love song and part lament. It is an elegy to former times and selves that admits fear of a future where humanity, community and strangeness are lost to manmade systems, and is also an ode to oddity and intricacy. These poems attempt to understand how difficult it is to be a thinking, feeling, speaking being in a largely impenetrable world-both wordless and written over with various conflicting narratives. In this manuscript, people are engulfed by forces larger than they, such as natural disasters and love, and are equally overwhelmed by their own feelings, desires and ideas. A central concern of the manuscript is figuring out how to live an authentic life or have real intimacy in a world that rapaciously wants to name, categorize, and commodify us. I conceive of language as an intervention, as textured and complex in a way that frees us from abbreviation and generalization. This manuscript suggests-as Bataille and others have before me-that there is violence in the ideal, that cruelty often arises out of categorybecome- hierarchy, and that perhaps the only conceivable solution to our flooding is flooding . . . to resist being capsized by giving into the roiling mess of our hearts and minds by admitting the endless cataclysms of our love, our inimitable eccentricities, and the ineffaceable plurality of being. This manuscript is informed by these wayward enactments of grief and loss, and by what Czeslaw Milosz called "A Poetics of Hope," wherein poets remain hopeful despite an intense awareness of the dangers menacing what we love. The world is not comfortable, containable, settled, or transparent, nor is what our own perspectives and collective narratives do with that world. I return to the truths of particularity and plurality, to detritus, explosion, fracture, to trying to cut through doxa and cliché to attempt to articulate the complexity of existing in the world, let alone a world increasingly ravaged by the forces of the market, industrialization, and large-scale mechanized warfare, wherein we are often very remote witnesses.

Rheology and deposition of heterogeneous organic mixtures: an expansion of "cold flow" research

description: The study of the rheological properties and deposition potential of organic mixtures such as petroleum are explored below the initial wax appearance temperature using a recycled flow loop, an active slurry-making device called the Scraped Exchanger, and a model oil made with mineral oil, paraffin wax, and LVGO wax. Sub-WAT (heterogeneous) oils, when flowed under isothermal (ambient and oil temperatures are the same) and non-isothermal conditions exhibit no deposition and greatly reduced deposition when compared to similar thermal gradients in above-WAT (homogeneous) oils, respectively. Heterogeneous oils form gels during shutdown just as with homogeneous oils, but the gel strength is greatly reduced (>50%) even with very little precipitated material (oil temperature at shutdown just below WAT). Solids content at shutdown appears to show little effect on subsequent gel strength. Particle size distributions measured using CantyVision equipment at shutdown also show little to no effect on subsequent gel strength, suggesting a balance between particle size and particle count, as well as a fundamental difference in gel matrix structure compared to homogeneous gels. In the ranges tested, all heterogeneous gels exhibited cohesive ("center-core") failure manifested as breakage occurring first within the gel instead of at the walls. Breakage patterns explored using laser particle imaging velocimetry.

description: In this study, a new strategic model called Markov-based cold standby combined with components mixing (RRAP-CM-MCCS), is proposed to improve system reliability. The optimization method used here is simplified swarm optimization (SSO), in which SSO adopts a multi-role resource sharing strategy to provide the diverse system components required by RRAP-CM-MCCS. The diversity here lies in providing every component in a subsystem with its own failure rate as a decision variable in addition to determining the corresponding reliability of each component. Consequently, compared to the state-of-the-art results in the literature, not only can the system reliability be improved, but the combination of multiple configurations also enables relevant required resources to be saved.

description: This research work presents a novel way of realizing an adaptive noise canceler as a notch filter completely in the analog domain. The obvious advantage of using an adaptive notch filter would be the capability of tracking the exact frequency of interference as well as the ability to control the width of the null. The device will hereafter be referred to as the carrier canceler, as it will be used to track and cancel a 54.1 MHz carrier used in the Telescope Array RAdar (TARA) project, in southern Utah, for the detection of cosmic rays. The carrier canceler operates on a dual 5V power supply. The circuit has two inputs: An input from a signal generator that feeds a clean 54.1 MHz carrier reference and the second input, which is fed from the antenna at the receiver station of the TARA project. The circuit consists of a two tap Least Mean Square adaptive circuit that tracks the carrier frequency and phase to generate a clean replica of the carrier. This replica is then subtracted from the received signal to remove the carrier from it. The circuit is first tested in controlled conditions in the laboratory and then tested in the field. The results show the circuit has a null depth of 45 dB or better and has a 3 dB bandwidth of 300 Hz. Implementation issues such as DC offset of the multiplier Integrated Circuit (IC) and phase shift of all the ICs are discussed and a solution to rectify them is proposed.
Convergent Suppression as a Mechanism for Persistence of Hepatitis C Virus in a Human in Vitro System
Creators: name: Cusick, Mattew Francis
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Although a causal relationship between hepatitis C virus (HCV) persistence and regulatory T cells (Tregs) has been purported, to date, no one has demonstrated how the induction of Tregs occurs. The central question of this dissertation was to address if HCV exploits known CD4+ T cell suppressive mechanisms to cause persistent infection in humans. The central finding of these studies was that naturally occurring viral variants of HCV that emerged in a major histocompatibility complex class II epitope of the nonstructural- 3 protein were acting as altered peptide ligands possibly leading to the differentiation of HCV specific CD4+ effector T cells into Tregs. To our knowledge, this work is the first demonstration of naturally occurring viral variants inducing Tregs, thereby defining an immunological niche that HCV is exploiting for persistence in humans.
