Creators: name: Martin, Loren
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the needs of San Juan County, Utah , in regard to an overall program of vocational education including ancillary services and new facilities for an area vocational center. Literature was reviewed concerning the need for vocational education, recent developments and trends in vocational programs, and other refinements in educational theory which influence instruction . Several groups of people were surveyed to determine the needs and interests of area residents with special attention given toward the Navajo Indian population.
The overall program which was developed incorporates aspects of the career education theme as it relates to vocational awareness and exploration. Suggestions are made regarding ancillary services such as counseling , inservice training, advisory committees, and promotion.
Part II of the study is the educational specifications for a new building to house the vocational program which was developed . Facilities for programs in mobile units are also included.

description: In this twelfth-century Greek manuscript of the New Testament, divided in two parts (without the Apocalypse), the Epistles and Acts were surprisingly placed before the Gospels. Magnificently illuminated, this codex has initials that represent the epistolographers of the New Testament; one miniature depicts John the Evangelist and Christ’s descent into Hell (f. 265v). In the fifteenth-century, John of Ragusa, a delegate from the Council of Basel, bought the codex in Constantinople; he then bequeathed it on his death to the Dominicans of Basel. The codex passed into the hands of Johannes Reuchlin, as well as those of Erasmus for his first edition of the Greek New Testament (1516).

description: Konstantin Konik (1873–1936), ühiskonnategelane, poliitik, arst ja õppejõud, on ka eesti meditsiinilise oskuskeele arendamise pioneer. XX sajandi alguses ajakirjades Terwis ja Tervis ilmunud tema ja teiste autorite populaarsed artiklid olid esimesed rahva seas levinud tervishoiu teabeallikad. Aimeartiklite kirjutamine andis kogemuse edasiste meditsiinitekstide koostamiseks nii K. Konikule kui ka teistele nende ajakirjade autoritele. K. Koniku teadlasetee algas artiklite avaldamisega venekeelsetes ajakirjades aastatel 1905–1906 ja doktoriväitekirja kaitsmisega 1908. aastal. Võõrkeelsete teaduslike artiklite ja eestikeelsete populaarteaduslike kirjutiste avaldamisel saadud kogemused võimaldasid K. Konikul esineda Tartu Ülikooli aulas 1920. aastal esimese eestikeelse arstiteadusliku loenguga ja avaldada Eesti Arstis 1922. aastal trükituna esimese eestikeelse arstiteadusliku artikli. Hiljem avaldas ta Eesti Arstis veel 5 artiklit. Meditsiinilise oskuskeele areng võimaldas 1922. aastal Albert Valdesel kaitsta esimese eestikeelse doktoritöö. K. Koniku osa on küllaltki oluline nii arstiteadusliku sõnavara arendamisel populaarteaduslikes kirjutistes kui ka meditsiinilise oskuskeele kasutusele võtmisel teaduslikes artiklites.

description: Lipoproteiiniga seostunud fosfolipaas A2 (Lp-PLA2) on aterosklerootilises naastus põletikurakkude toodetud ensüüm, mida kantakse vereringes edasi peamiselt väikse tihedusega liporoteiinidega. Lp-PLA2 toodetakse eriti rohkesti koronaarlesiooni nekrootilises tuumas. Lp-PLA2 ensümaatiline aktiivsus võib põhjustada põletikku ja rakusurma, mis muudavad naastu kergesti ruptureeruvaks. Euroopa Kardioloogide Seltsi 2012. aasta kardiovaskulaarhaiguste preventsiooni juhendis on esimest korda välja toodud Lp-PLA2 kui sõltumatu aterotrombootiline riskitegur. Juhendis on soovitatud määrata Lp-PLA2 sisaldust patsientidel, kel on aterotrombootiline risk suur. Mitmed uuringud on näidanud, et statiinid vähendavad Lp-PLA2 aktiivsust ja massi. Tänapäeval toimuvad ulatuslikud kliinilised uuringud Lp-PLA2 inhibiitoritega. Darapladiib on esimene Lp-PLA2 inhibiitorite klassi ravim ja selle toimet on laialdaselt uuritud. See ravim pärsib Lp-PLA2 aktiivsust plasmas ja arterosklerootilises naastus ning võib anda kliinilist kasu südame-veresoonkonnahaiguste ennetamisel. Darapladiibiga jätkuvad ulatuslikud kliinilised uuringud, millest tähtsamad on III faasi uuringud STABILITY ja SOLID-TMI 52. Nende uuringute tulemused määravad Lp-PLA2 inhibitsiooni ning darapladiibi koha ateroskleroosi ravis ja tüsistuste preventsioonis.

description: We analyze the phonon spectra of periodic structures formed by two-dimensional mixtures of dipolar colloidal particles. These mixtures display an enormous variety of complex ordered configurations [J. Fornleitner {\it et al.}, Soft Matter {\bf 4}, 480 (2008)], allowing for the systematic investigation of the ensuing phonon spectra and the control of phononic gaps. We show how the shape of the phonon bands and the number and width of the phonon gaps can be controlled by changing the susceptibility ratio, the concentration and the mass ratio between the two components.

description: Spin susceptibility in the superconducting (SC) state was measured in the higher-quality sample of uranium-based superconductor UTe$_2$ by using Knight-shift measurements for a magnetic field $H$ along all three crystalline axes. In the higher-quality sample, the SC transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ is about 2.1 K, and the residual electronic term in the specific heat is almost zero. The NMR linewidth becomes narrower and is almost half of that in the previous sample with $T_{\rm c} \sim 1.6$ K when $H \parallel a$ and $c$. Although the Knight-shift behavior was not so different from the previous results for $H \parallel b$, and $c$, a large reduction in Knight shift along the $a$ axis was observed, in contrast with the previous $a$-axis Knight shift result. We discuss the origin of the difference between the previous and present results, and the possible SC state derived from the present results.

description: Anomalously small gaugino masses are a common feature of various models of direct gauge mediation. This problem is closely related to the vacuum structure of the theory. In this paper we show that massive SQCD can have SUSY-breaking vacua which are qualitatively different from the ISS vacuum. These novel vacua are metastable with respect to decay to the ISS vacuum. We demonstrate the possibility of addressing the gaugino mass problem in this framework. We study the properties of these vacua and construct an example of a model of direct gauge mediation.

title: Market Structure Analysis of Fertilizer Distribution in Utah
Creators: name: Welty, John C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1971

description: The purpose of this paper was to ascertain the contribution of various structural variables to a growing, efficient system of fertilizer distribution in the state of Utah. A questionnaire to survey the fertilizer distributors was used as a source of data. Information was obtained about structural changes in a five-year period, 1965 to 1970. A multiple regression program was used to synthesize these data to determine which variables were most significant and bow much they contributed to an increase in total value of fertilizer sales. While empirical data were obtained only for structural dimensions of the industry, marketing theory was employed to trace the causal linkage from structure through conduct to performance.

description: Spray atomization process involves complex multi-phase phenomena. Abundant literature and validation of spray modelling for industrial applications like fuel injection in internal combustion and turbine jet engines are available. However, only a handful of studies, primarily limited to discrete phase modelling, of low-pressure applications, such as nasal spray exists. This study aims to provide insight into the external and near-nozzle spray characterization of a continuous spray and establishes good validation against the experiment. A 3-dimensional (3D) X-ray scanner was used to extract the internal nasal spray nozzle geometry which was reconstructed to build a 3D computational model. A novel volume-of-fluid to discrete phase transition model (VOF-DPM) was used to track the liquid phase and its transition to droplets, which was based on the shape and size of the liquid lumps. In this study, an early pre-stable and stable phase of spray plume development was investigated. Qualitative and quantitative analysis were carried out to validate the computational model. A liquid column exited a nozzle which distorted at its base with advancement in time and eventually formed a hollow-cone liquid sheet. It then, disintegrated due to instability that produced fluctuations to form ligaments resulting in secondary break-up. This study provides in-depth understanding of liquid jet disintegration and droplet formation, which adds value to future nasal spray device designs and techniques to facilitate more effective targeted nasal drug delivery.

last mile delivery system
third-party logistics

description: As the industry of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the Philippines grew over the years and contributed much to the economy, opportunities and challenges to the last mile delivery came along with the demand. No business-to- customer (B2C) transactions are complete without product fulfillment. Last mile delivery is the last leg of moving goods from hubs to customers in the supply chain. Such services existed in the Philippines as third-party logistics (3PL) solutions. While MSMEs may simply tap into these 3PLs, this study has proposed and demonstrated that open-source solutions could integrate into their existing logistics and delivery teams.
The Nextway project has developed cost-effective and reliable solutions to aid small companies, drivers, and customers. Considering the economic aspect of MSMEs, a significant capital expense was found unnecessary for adopting their last mile delivery solution. Various literature has proven that a last mile delivery system is a considerable asset and investment a business in the scale of MSME could acquire. In particular, the pilot implementation of this study for the client has solved the challenges of digitization of data, receiving orders and tracking physical packages into warehouses, designation of delivery personnel, tracking of the loaded packages into the vehicle, and providing meaningful information to drivers. The Nextway backend has utilized the open-source Odoo community edition as a provider of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) aspect of the business.
The pilot implementation of the developed system also highlighted the importance of using Metodología para la selección de sistemas ERP (MSSE) or System Selection Methodology for careful system selection. In addition, the Enterprise System Experience Cycle was selected as the overall guiding methodology and adoption assessment. This study has contributed to the research and practical use of the provided system designs for both on-premises and cloud service provider deployments, whichever future potential adopters need. Along with those were suggestions for future work, such as a cloud-edge continuum approach to further provide reliable services to the drivers and customers in rural areas with limited network connectivity.

description: This hefty volume, written by two hands, is made up of multiple texts having the same, although not entirely uniform, layout with pen-flourished initials in the so-called Upper-Rhine Style, similar to the two volumes of Nicolas of Lyra, B IV 3 und B V 5, which also came from the Basel Dominican Convent, but not from the same workshop. Johannes von Effringen, Prior of the Convent in 1347, was likely the first owner. Gerhardus, the first of the two scribes, copied multiple works of the church father Augustine: his commentary on the Psalms, the Confessions in 13 books, but also other, smaller writings, some of which are no longer ascribed with certainty to Augustine. A corrector worked through these texts and marked the improvements in a small cursive in the margin, so that the scribe could, in a further step, carefully write them neatly and erase the notes, which did not happen throughout. The text of the second, anonymous, scribe is nearly flawless and written more beautifully. It consists in a commentary on Jeremiah by Jerome, the translator of the Bible.

description: We present the deep homogeneous $UBVRI$ photometric data of 135,071 stars down to $V\sim23$ mag and I ~ 22 mag toward the Carina Nebula. These stars are cross-matched with those from the previous surveys in the X-ray, near-infrared, and mid-infrared wavelengths as well as the Gaia Early Data Release 3 (EDR3). This master catalog allows us to select reliable members and determine the fundamental parameters distance, size, stellar density of stellar clusters in this star-forming region. We revisit the reddening toward the nebula using the optical and the near-infrared colors of early-type stars. The foreground reddening [E(B-V)_fg] is determined to be 0.35+/-0.02, and it seems to follow the standard reddening law. On the other hand, the total-to-selective extinction ratio of the intracluster medium (R_V,cl) decreases from the central region (Trumpler 14 and 16, R_V,cl ~ 4.5) to the northern region (Trumpler 15, R_V,cl ~ 3.4). It implies that the central region is more dusty than the northern region. We find that the distance modulus of the Carina Nebula to be 11.9+/-0.3 mag (d = 2.4+/-0.35 kpc) using a zero-age main-sequence fitting method, which is in good agreement with that derived from the Gaia EDR3 parallaxes. We also present the catalog of 3,331 pre-main-sequence (PMS) members and 14,974 PMS candidates down to V ~ 22 mag based on spectrophotometric properties of young stars at infrared, optical, and X-ray wavelengths. From the spatial distribution of PMS members and PMS candidates, we confirm that the member selection is very reliable down to faint stars. Our data will have a legacy value for follow-up studies with different scientific purposes.

description: With new, stronger driving while intoxicated (DWI) laws being enacted across the country and the threat of more severe sanctions, there has been a perception that the rate of breath test refusals has increased as suspected drunk drivers seek to avoid tougher criminal convictions. An interim report on the issue of breath test refusals documents breath test refusal laws and rates across the United States and whether those rates have increased. The report also discusses possible reasons why some states have high refusal rates. Findings show that in 2001, about one-quarter of all drivers arrested for DWI in the United States refused breath tests. The rate across states varied dramatically, from 5.3% in California to 84.9% in Rhode Island. The 2001 rates were compared to data from a previous National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study that used 1987 breath test refusal data. In general, the distribution of rates across states was similar, but with slightly higher refusal rates and mores states at the high end of the distribution in the current study. In the second phase of the study, researchers examined the laws, policies, procedures and sanctions of 5 states with high refusal rates. Interviews were conducted with prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, law enforcement officers, and administrative unit officers in each of these states. Based on the findings, it is suggested that states review their processes for notifying suspects of both the administrative and criminal consequences of refusing to provide breath samples. Several states allow officers to obtain a warrant to draw blood for a chemical test if a breath test is refused. This practice could be expanded to other communities and may decrease the number of refusals.

Study of vertical segregation, seasonal separation and size differences as mechanisms for the coexistence of Diaptomus minutus, D. oregonensis, and D. sanguineus (Calanoida: Copepoda)
Creators: name: Sandercock, Gail Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Three species of Diaptomus (D. minutus. D. oregonensis and D. sanguineus, in order of increasing size) occur in Clarke Lake, Ontario. The following mechanisms have been suggested in the literature to explain the occurrence of congeneric Diaptomus species; vertical segregation, seasonal separation and size differences. In Clarke Lake D. minutus was found in the upper five metres, separated from D. sanguineus which occurred below the six metre level. A distinct size difference with no overlap was observed between D. minutus and D. sanguineus. D. minutus was also distinctly different from D. oregonensis in size. The seasonal maxima of these two species were distinct, that of D. minutus was in the spring, and of D. oregonensis in the summer months. D. oregonensis was separated seasonally from D. sanguineus. The latter species had a seasonal maximum in the spring. D. oregonensis was found above five metres and so was segregated vertically from D, sanguineus. A combination of two mechanisms seems to enable the coexistence of each of the three Diaptomus species-pairs in Clarke Lake. It is suggested that in general two or more mechanisms must be operative for the co-occurrence of Diaptomus species.

description: The tidal deformations of a planet are often considered as markers of its inner structure. In this work, we use the tide excitations induced by the Sun on Venus for deciphering the nature of its internal layers. In using a Monte Carlo Random Exploration of the space of parameters describing the thickness, density and viscosity of 4 or 5 layer profiles, we were able to select models that can reproduce the observed mass, total moment of inertia, $k_2$ Love number and expected quality factor $Q$. Each model is assumed to have homogeneous layers with constant density, viscosity and rigidity. These models show significant contrasts in the viscosity between the upper mantle and the lower mantle. They also rather favor a S-free core and a slightly hotter lower mantle consistent with previous expectations.

description: Hybrid density functionals, which replaces a fraction of density functional theory (DFT) exchange with exact Hartree-Fock (HF) exchange, have been used to study the structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of delta-Plutonium. The fractions of exact Hartree-Fock exchange used were 25%, 40%, and 55%. Compared to the pure PBE functional, the lattice constants expanded with respect to the experimental value when the PBE-HF hybrid functionals were applied. A non-magnetic ground state was realized for 55% HF contribution; otherwise the ground state was anti-ferromagnetic. The 5f electrons tend to exhibit slight delocalization or itinerancy for the pure PBE functional and well-defined localization for the hybrid functionals, with the degree of 5f electron localization increasing with the amount of HF exchange. Overall, the performance of the hybrid density functionals do not seem superior to pure density functionals for delta-Plutonium.

description: Topological solitons are crucial to many branches of physics, such as models of fundamental particles in quantum field theory, information carriers in nonlinear optics, and elementary entities in quantum and classical computations. Chiral magnetic materials are a fertile ground for studying solitons. In the past a few years, a huge number of all kinds of topologically protected localized magnetic solitons have been found. The number is so large, and a proper organization and classification is necessary for their future developments. Here we show that many topological magnetic solitons can be understood from the duality of particle and elastic continuum-medium nature of skyrmions. In contrast to the common belief that a skyrmion is an elementary particle that is indivisible, skyrmions behave like both particle and continuum media that can be tore apart to bury other objects, reminiscing particle-wave duality in quantum mechanics. Skyrmions, like indivisible particles, can be building blocks for cascade skyrmion bags and target skyrmions. They can also act as bags and glues to hold one or more skyrmions together. The principles and rules for stable composite skyrmions are explained and presented, revealing their rich and interesting physics.

description: We have measured the positions of water masers in Sgr B2, a massive star forming region in the Galactic center, relative to an extragalactic radio source with the Very Long Baseline Array. The positions measured at 12 epochs over a time span of one year yield the trigonometric parallax of Sgr B2 and hence a distance to the Galactic center of Ro=7.9 (+0.8/-0.7) kpc. The proper motion of Sgr B2 relative to Sgr A* suggests that Sgr B2 is about 0.13 kpc nearer than the Galactic center, assuming a low-eccentricity Galactic orbit.

description: The residual dependence index of bivariate Gaussian distributions is determined by the correlation coefficient. This tail index is of certain statistical importance when extremes and related rare events of bivariate samples with asymptotic independent components are being modeled. In this paper we calculate the partial residual dependence indices of a multivariate elliptical random vector assuming that the associated random radius is in the Gumbel max-domain of attraction. Furthermore, we discuss the estimation of these indices when the associated random radius possesses a Weibull-tail distribution.

description: This copy of the Summa Logica, produced in Oxford during William of Ockham’s lifetime, comes from the remnants of the Franciscan library in Basel. Listed as a previous owner is Otto of Passau, then perhaps a more famous author, but today nearly forgotten. In any case in cypher (f. 121r). After the Franciscan Ockham’s Summa of logic, the volume also contains a list of charges against him at the papal curia in Avignon, as well as short reports on the individual points. The text of this manuscript, along with the readings of a second Basel collective volume from the fourteenth century (which probably did not come from the Franciscan convent), which still has its original binding (F II 24), was used in the twentieth century for the critical edition. Its binding was replaced in the nineteenth century.

description: We are concerned with nonlinear stability and existence of two-dimensional current-vortex sheets in ideal compressible magnetohydrodynamics. This is a nonlinear hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem with characteristic free boundary. It is well-known that current-vortex sheets may be at most weakly (neutrally) stable due to the existence of surface waves solutions that yield a loss of derivatives in the energy estimate of the solution with respect to the source terms. We first identify a sufficient condition ensuring the weak stability of the linearized current-vortex sheets problem. Under this stability condition for the background state, we show that the linearized problem obeys an energy estimate in anisotropic weighted Sobolev spaces with a loss of derivatives. Based on the weakly linear stability results, we then establish the local-in-time existence and nonlinear stability of current-vortex sheets by a suitable Nash-Moser iteration, provided the stability condition is satisfied at each point of the initial discontinuity. This result gives a new confirmation of the stabilizing effect of sufficiently strong magnetic fields on Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities.

title: The Usefulness of 4-H Project Manual as Seen by Members Parents and Adult Leaders in Cache County
Creators: name: Viasayanunt, Vichit
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1972

description: The primary objective of this study was to survey the usefulness of the 4-H members' project manual according to the opinions of members, parents, and adult leaders in Cache County, State of Utah.
Two USU Extension Agents, 140 4-H members, 119 parents, and 30 leaders cooperated in this survey. A separate questionnaire accompanied by a cover letter by the Extension Agents and a letter of explanation by the author was sent to each person in the three categories mentioned. Questionnaires were mailed to 200 4-H male members, 190 parents and 46 adult leaders. Evaluation of the usefulness of the manuals was made in three age groups: 9-12 years old, 13-16 years old, and 17-19 years old.
It was generally agreed by member, parent, and leader respondents that the age group 9-12 years old made the most use of the manuals. About 56 percent of the members indicated that a project could not be done without the manual; nearly 50 percent of the parents indicated that their children could not do a project without the manual; and slightly more than half of the leaders indicated that they could not conduct a satisfactory project without members having manuals. About four-fifths of all parents expressed their willingness to pay a minimal fee for their children to obtain manuals while three-fifths of the leaders thought that the parents would be willing to pay a minimal fee for manuals for their children.

Year: 1967

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the economic impact of the College of Eastern Utah on Carbon County. The amount of income that accrued to County households, due to the College's presence in the County, was used as a measure of this impact.
The College expenditure flow to the County Has $61,610. Faculty salaries amounted to $318,309, during the 1964-1965 fiscal year. Student expenditure flow to the County was estimated at $636,254.
Retail trade and service margins were calculated and applied to the College and student expenditure floor. This calculation indicated an income flow of $122,339, to the County. Wages and salaries paid by the College in the amount of $318,309, was considered as first round income. The total income flow to the County, due to the presence of the College, was $440,648.
Relating this amount to job equivalents by dividing the average non-agricultural wage in Carbon County into $440,648, there were 93 jobs created in the County. This is 2.0 per cent of all non-agricultural jobs in the County.

description: We perform extensive spectroscopy of the supernova remnant N63A in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using $\sim 43$ ks {\it Chandra} archival data. By analysing the spectra of the entire remnant, we determine the abundance distributions for O, Ne, Mg, Si, and Fe. We detect evidence of enhanced O and possibly Ne and Mg in some of the central regions which might indicate an asymmetric distribution of the ejecta. The average O/Ne, O/Mg, and Ne/Mg abundance ratios of the ejecta are in plausible agreement with the nucleosynthesis products from the explosion of a $\sim40$ $M_{\odot}$ progenitor. We estimate an upper limit on the Sedov age of $\sim 5,400\pm200$ yr and explosion energy of $\sim 8.9\pm 1.6\times 10^{51}$ erg for N63A. We discuss the implications of our results for the morphological structure of the remnant, its circumstellar medium and the nature of the progenitor star.

description: Benchmarks for robot manipulation are crucial to measuring progress in the field, yet there are few benchmarks that demonstrate critical manipulation skills, possess standardized metrics, and can be attempted by a wide array of robot platforms. To address a lack of such benchmarks, we propose Rubik's cube manipulation as a benchmark to measure simultaneous performance of precise manipulation and sequential manipulation. The sub-structure of the Rubik's cube demands precise positioning of the robot's end effectors, while its highly reconfigurable nature enables tasks that require the robot to manage pose uncertainty throughout long sequences of actions. We present a protocol for quantitatively measuring both the accuracy and speed of Rubik's cube manipulation. This protocol can be attempted by any general-purpose manipulator, and only requires a standard 3x3 Rubik's cube and a flat surface upon which the Rubik's cube initially rests (e.g. a table). We demonstrate this protocol for two distinct baseline approaches on a PR2 robot. The first baseline provides a fundamental approach for pose-based Rubik's cube manipulation. The second baseline demonstrates the benchmark's ability to quantify improved performance by the system, particularly that resulting from the integration of pre-touch sensing. To demonstrate the benchmark's applicability to other robot platforms and algorithmic approaches, we present the functional blocks required to enable the HERB robot to manipulate the Rubik's cube via push-grasping.

title: An Evaluation of the Dichotomy Between Structural Versus Deficient-Demand Unemployment
Creators: name: Parker, Carl D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: This thesis is addressed to the theoretical controversy which revolves around the explanation of the higher unemployment rates that prevailed after 1957. The debate that has been generated concerning the causes of this unemployment problem is usually referred to as the "structural" versus "deficient-demand" debate. An attempt is made to present a representative view of both sides of the debate as well as a critical evaluation of both positions. Care is taken to keep both positions separated for each leads to entirely different policy recommendations. A more general theoretical structure is presented which will be useful in analyzing the relevance of structural unemployment. Finally, the controversy is analyzed in terms of current economic development.
Extreme evaporation of planets in hot thermally unstable protoplanetary discs: the case of FU Ori

description: Disc accretion rate onto low mass protostar FU Ori suddenly increased hundreds of times 85 years ago and remains elevated to this day. We show that the sum of historic and recent observations challenges existing FU Ori models. We build a theory of a new process, Extreme Evaporation (EE) of young gas giant planets in discs with midplane temperatures exceeding 30, 000 K. Such temperatures are reached in the inner 0.1 AU during thermal instability bursts. In our 1D time-dependent code the disc and an embedded planet interact through gravity, heat, and mass exchange. We use disc viscosity constrained by simulations and observations of dwarf novae instabilities, and we constrain planet properties with a stellar evolution code. We show that dusty gas giants born in the outer self-gravitating disc reach the innermost disc in a $\sim$ 10,000 years with radius of $\sim 10 R_J$. We show that their EE rates are $\sim 10^{-5}$ Msun/yr; if this exceeds the background disc accretion activity then the system enters a planet-sourced mode. Like a stellar secondary in mass-transferring binaries, the planet becomes the dominant source of matter for the star, albeit for $\sim$ O(100) years. We find that a $\sim$ 6 Jupiter mass planet evaporating in a disc fed at a time-averaged rate of $\sim 10^{-6}$ Msun/yr appears to explain all that we currently know about FU Ori accretion outburst. More massive planets and/or planets in older less massive discs do not experience EE process. Future FUOR modelling may constrain planet internal structure and evolution of the earliest discs.
