description: This thesis explores the feasibility and benefits of designing, analyzing, and monitoring a hybrid renewable energy system (HRPS) for Postville, Labrador, Canada. In response to escalating fuel costs and environmental concerns, renewable energy sources, particularly solar and wind, are emerging as viable alternatives to conventional power generation. The study begins with optimal sizing analysis using HOMER Pro software, identifying a cost-effective configuration comprising 435 kW PV panels, five 100 kW wind turbines, a 455 kW diesel generator, and a 306 kW power converter. This setup promises reduced lifecycle costs and greenhouse gas emissions, crucial for off-grid communities. Dynamic analysis via MATLAB-Simulink validates the system's technical feasibility, demonstrating reliable energy provision under varying conditions. Advanced control strategies ensure efficient operation, with wind turbines playing a pivotal role due to regional wind energy potential. The development of a MATLAB-based SCADA system enhances operational monitoring and control, facilitating real-time adjustments for optimal performance and reliability. Implemented on a scaled-down model, the SCADA architecture successfully monitors voltage and current, showcasing robust integration and dynamic response to fluctuating loads. This HRPS not only enhances energy security by reducing diesel dependency but also mitigates climate change through lower emissions, underscoring its environmental and economic advantages for remote communities.

description: We show that recent high-precision measurements of relative on-site interaction energies $ΔU$ in a Mott insulator require a theoretical description beyond the standard Hubbard-model interpretation, when combined with an accurate coupled-channels calculation. In contrast to more sophisticated lattice models, which can be elaborate especially for parameter optimization searches, we introduce an easy to use effective description of $U$ valid over a wide range of interaction strengths modeling atomic pairs confined to single lattice sites. This concise model allows for a straightforward combination with a coupled-channels analysis. With this model we perform such a coupled-channels analysis of high-precision $^7$Li spectroscopic data on the on-site interaction energy $U$, which spans over four Feshbach resonances and provide an accurate and consistent determination of the associated resonance positions. Earlier experiments on three of the Feshbach resonances are consistent with this new analysis. Moreover, we verify our model with a more rigorous numerical treatment of the two atom system in an optical lattice.

Thermal Microhabitat Preference of the Common Side-Blotched Lizard, Uta stansburiana
Creators: name: Goller, Maria
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Ectotherms are especially susceptible to changing temperature conditions within their environment. To limit temperature fluctuations they must behaviorally regulate body temperature by moving between microhabitats of different ambient temperatures. By actively selecting specific substrate temperatures within a heterogeneous thermal environment, an individual could attain preferred body temperature and approach internal thermal homeostasis for periods of time. Ambient temperature dependence should thus force an individual to select those microhabitats that present optimal thermal conditions. Because dynamic thermal microhabitat structure is difficult to assess, the extent to which lizards employ behavioral thermoregulation is not well understood. Therefore, there is a need to better assess thermal habitat structure and how it relates to behavioral thermoregulation. In this study, thermal imaging was used to evaluate the dynamics in thermal microhabitat structure, lizard body temperature, and substrate preference during the warm season (July and August). Despite a broad range of microhabitat temperatures surrounding lizards (1-2 m2 of surface showed a mean range of 11°C), mean lizard temperature varied within a narrow range (36 to 38°C). A variety of hypotheses exist for why Uta strongly prefer body temperatures of 37°C, such as optimization of physiological processes. Lizards selected sites with temperatures that differed slightly yet significantly from the mean temperature around them, indicating that individuals do exhibit behavioral thermoregulation. Furthermore, lizards make use of radiative heat gain to regulate their body temperature significantly above that of their perch (mean difference of 2.6°C). Regulation differed throughout the day. Lizard body temperature differences from before and after short-and long-distance switches in position accounted for only 15% of the variation in body temperature. These findings show that lizards are able to maintain fairly constant body temperatures for extended periods of time, during the warm season, by combining selection of a thermally favorable microhabitat with radiative regulation. Habitat structural complexity differs across the geographical range of Uta stansburiana, and therefore provides variable opportunity for thermoregulation. Impacts of change in temperature due to climate change may therefore vary based upon population. Our results indicate that, although Uta may go locally extinct due to the effects of climate change, the study population, living as it does in an area of extraordinary thermal heterogeneity, may actually benefit.

description: This work reports on temperature-induced out-diffusion and concentration decay of the prominent intrinsic point defect VNi (nickel vacancy) in the wide-gap p-type semiconductor nickel oxide (NiO). VNi can easily be introduced into NiO thin films by offering high oxygen partial pressures during film growth, rendering nonstoichiometric semiconducting structures. However, exposure to lower oxygen supply after growth, e.g. in a standard atmosphere, usually leads to a gradual decrease of film conductivity, because the vacancy concentration equilibrates. In this study, we observe this process in situ by performing temperature-dependent measurements of the electrical conductivity on a room temperature-grown NiO film. At a temperature of 420K under exclusion of oxygen, the doping level decreases by a factor of 8 while the associated room temperature dc conductivity drops by six orders of magnitude. At the same time, out-diffusion of the mobile VNi species can be indirectly observed through the occurrence of electrode polarization characteristics.

description: We estimate the spatial densities of different types of neutron star near the Sun. It is shown that the distances of dim isolated thermal neutron stars must be on average about 300-400 pc. The combined birth rate of these sources together with radio pulsars and dim radio quiet neutron stars can be a little more than the supernova rate as some of the dim isolated thermal neutron stars can be formed from dim radio quiet neutron stars and radio pulsars. Some of these sources must have relations with anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma repeaters. In order to understand the locations of different types of neutron star on the P-P diagram it is also necessary to take into account the differences in the masses and the structures of neutron stars.

description: Guided by the working hypothesis that the Schwabe cycle of solar activity is synchronized by the 11.07 years alignment cycle of the tidally dominant planets Venus, Earth and Jupiter, we reconsider the phase diagrams of sediment accumulation rates in Lake Holzmaar, and of methanesulfonate (MSA) data in the Greenland ice core GISP2, which are available for the period 10000-9000 cal. BP. Since some half-cycle phase jumps appearing in the output signals are, very likely, artifacts of applying a biologically substantiated transfer function, the underlying solar input signal with a dominant 11.04 years periodicity can be considered as mainly phase-coherent over the 1000 years period in the early Holocene. For more recent times, we show that the re-introduction of a hypothesized "lost cycle" at the beginning of the Dalton minimum would lead to a real phase jump. Similarly, by analyzing various series of $^{14}$C and $^{10}$Be data and comparing them with Schove's historical cycle maxima, we support the existence of another "lost cycle" around 1565, also connected with a real phase jump. Viewed synoptically, our results lend greater plausibility to the starting hypothesis of a tidally synchronized solar cycle, which at times can undergo phase jumps, although the competing explanation in terms of a non-linear solar dynamo with increased coherence cannot be completely ruled out.

description: We discuss how holographic bounds can be applied to the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton. In general the holographic principle will lead to a bound on the UV cutoff scale of the effective theory of inflation, but it will depend on the coarse-graining prescription involved in calculating the entropy. We propose that the entanglement entropy is a natural measure of the entropy of the quantum perturbations, and show which kind of bound on the cutoff it leads to. Such bounds are related to whether the effects of new physics will show up in the CMB.

Student Engagement : Enhancing Students' Appreciation for Learning and Their Achievement in High Schools
Creators: name: Khodaeifaal, Solmaz
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Students’ perspectives and ideas related to classroom learning seem to be mostly ignored in high schools. Not only does this issue result in both teachers and students struggling in the process of teaching and learning, but students also fail to appreciate the intrinsic value of the curriculum content. It is therefore important to explore the significance of student engagement on their appreciation of learning as well as any positive effects that it might have on their success. This paper has two main aims. First, it provides an overview of the significance of student engagement and the issues associated with disregarding students’ views and their active roles in learning and how these roles are linked to their success in school. Second, it provides a sketch of the attempts made toward the use of technology and social media to motivate and engage students in content learning. Consequently, the paper has three main sections. The first gives succinct descriptions of student engagement and motivation in high school. The second part alongside with my own teaching experiences traces the ways that students are helped to develop an appreciation for learning and highlights the importance of the impact of student engagement in learning. The third section interweaves students’ interest and engagement with digital media and an appreciation of content learning. In so doing, the paper suggests that social media could be an aid for students to learn the content in the subjects being studied, which connects their in-school context and experience to out of school.

description: In this work we focus on the Carroll-Field-Jackiw (CFJ) modified electrodynamics in combination with a CPT-even Lorentz-violating contribution. We add a photon mass term to the Lagrange density and study the question whether this contribution can render the theory unitary. The analysis is based on the pole structure of the modified photon propagator as well as the validity of the optical theorem. We find, indeed, that the massive CFJ-type modification is unitary at tree-level. This result provides a further example for how a photon mass can mitigate malign behaviors.

description: Criminal activities are predominantly due to males, with females exhibiting a significantly lower involvement, especially in serious offenses. This pattern extends to organized crime, where females are often perceived as less tolerant to illegal practices. However, the roles of males and females within corruption networks are less understood. Here, we analyze data from political scandals in Brazil and Spain to shed light on gender differences in corruption networks. Our findings reveal that females constitute 10% and 20% of all agents in the Brazilian and Spanish corruption networks, respectively, with these proportions remaining stable over time and across different scandal sizes. Despite this disparity in representation, centrality measures are comparable between genders, except among highly central individuals, for which males are further overrepresented. Additionally, gender has no significant impact on network resilience, whether through random dismantling or targeted attacks on the largest component. Males are more likely to be involved in multiple scandals than females, and scandals predominantly involving females are rare, though these differences are explained by a null network model in which gender is randomly assigned while maintaining gender proportions. Our results further reveal that the underrepresentation of females partially explains gender homophily in network associations, although in the Spanish network, male-to-male connections exceed expectations derived from a null model.

Meta-Analysis on Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Between Humans and Non-Human Primates
Creators: name: Page, Madalyn R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Due to genetic similarity, non-human primates are often the focus of zoonotic infectious disease research. The objective of zoonotic disease research can vary depending upon whether the study is focusing on human health or the health of wild non-human primate populations. Research with non-human primates is often associated with their use in medical laboratories for the benefit of human health. However, other studies focus on both the health of wild non-human primate populations and human interactions. This study reviews zoonotic disease research published in three main primatology journals: American Journal of Primatology, International Journal of Primatology, and Primates. Reviewing journals from within the field of Primatology establishes common trends and sets a baseline for further research to work off of. To find these common trends each article was categorized based off of the research's primary objective in question. Furthermore, this study looks at how zoonotic disease impacts primate conservation and whether or not current research is looking into this. As anthropogenic habitat destruction increases, humans and non-human primates interact more, which leads to an increase in disease transmission. Zoonotic disease negatively impacts both human and non-human primate populations. Many non-human primate populations are endangered and disease transmission further affects conservation efforts.

description: The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft has flown into the most dense and previously unexplored region of our solar system's zodiacal cloud. While PSP does not have a dedicated dust detector, multiple instruments onboard are sensitive to the effects of meteoroid bombardment. Here, we discuss measurements taken during PSP's first two orbits and compare them to models of the zodiacal cloud's dust distribution. Comparing the radial impact rate trends and the timing and location of a dust impact to an energetic particle detector, we find the impactor population to be consistent with dust grains on hyperbolic orbits escaping the solar system. Assuming PSP's impact environment is dominated by hyperbolic impactors, the total quantity of dust ejected from our solar system is estimated to be 1-14 tons/s. We expect PSP will encounter an increasingly more intense impactor environment as its perihelion distance and semi-major axis are decreased.

Cloning and Expression for the Future Characterization of the Air2 Protein
Creators: name: Frampton, Emily Sue
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: Air2 is a eukaryotic protein involved in multiple biological processes including protein-protein interactions as well as RNA binding. Air2 plays a critical role in RNA quality control and also helps regulate post-translational modification of various proteins. Although previous studies have revealed information regarding Air2's roles within a cell, the molecular and structural basis for Air2 function is unclear. Using a codon-optimized version of the Air2 gene, various constructs were created that improved the expression and solubility of Air2. Additionally a co-expression complex of Air2 with a PRMTI mutant, K13S, was made to obtain the Air2 protein with a native binding partner. It was hypothesized that the co-expression of these two proteins together would lead to the creation of a complex increasing both the stability, expression, and activity of each. These experimental efforts will greatly contribute to the biochemical and structural studies necessary to achieve a better functional understanding of Air2 and thus lead to the improved future characterization of this protein.
title: The Algae of Mid-Pembrokeshire Rivers, with special reference to the Western Cleddau River
Creators: name: Redd, Elizabeth Carmen Kinsey
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1983

description: The aim of the investigation was to make a preliminary study of the algae found in the Western Cleddau and its main tributaries. The area contains two ponds of different types which were studied as examples of a different aquatic environment. Simple water analysis was carried out on samples from as many sites as possible. Water levels were recorded wherever Welsh Water Authority gauge boards were in position. Two small streams on the seaward side of the Roch/Hayscastle area were studied briefly to give a possible pair of contrasting sites. Diatom counts were made as often as possible at the main sites and dated lists of algal genera were made for every site visited. These were used to construct a Jaccard matrix. From this a two-dimensional ordination of all the algae found on the thirty-one sites was made. The main river could be a stable system for most of its length. Only two sites were found to be outside the main groups. One ( Cutty Bridge ), appeared to be prone to intermittent pollut­ion, the other ( Ford Anghof ) showed no signs of pollution but was situated in a woodland with a very thick close canopy for several kilometres. Algal distribution maps were prepared for genera which were found rarely or had interesting distribution patterns. The two ponds in the area provided some different and interesting algal genera. St. Catherine's Bridge and Cutty Bridge were visited as faras possible on a daily basis and detailed records of water levels and water clarity were made.
ECONOMIC TRADE-OFFS IN MULTIPLE-USE MANAGEMENT OF FOREST LANDS

Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: "Multiple-use" is a term with great emotional appeal, but it is more a slogan than a management guide, and its meaning often varies according to the user. If one implies that every conceivable use of forest land should occur on every acre every year, multiple use is impossible, even nonsensical; if one means that some uses can be accommodated to some other uses on the same land at the same time, there exists more but still rather limited possibilities; but if one means that various uses can take place on closely intermingled tracts of land at the same time, or on the same land at different times, with the whole management area managed for multiple uses, then the possibilities widen greatly. There is great need to give "multiple-use" some operational content, and hopefully this paper is a modest step in that direction.

 Remarks. This species has distinct variation in the shape of male genitalia (13S–X). In the aforementioned bicolor subgroup (see differential diagnosis of Mimela admixta new species), this species is easily characterized by the non-metallic body in combination to broad lateral carinae of elytra. This species was regarded as a junior synonym of Mimela opalina Ohaus, 1902 for a long time. But it is easily separated by the base of pronotum distinctly narrower than base of elytra (bases of pronotum and elytra almost equal in width in M. opalina) and lateral carinae more distinct.

description: We present a new model for computing the spectral evolution of stellar populations at ages between 100,000 yr and 20 Gyr at a resolution of 3 A across the whole wavelength range from 3200 to 9500 A for a wide range of metallicities. These predictions are based on a newly available library of observed stellar spectra. We also compute the spectral evolution across a larger wavelength range, from 91 A to 160 micron, at lower resolution. The model incorporates recent progress in stellar evolution theory and an observationally motivated prescription for thermally-pulsing stars on the asymptotic giant branch. The latter is supported by observations of surface brightness fluctuations in nearby stellar populations. We show that this model reproduces well the observed optical and near-infrared colour-magnitude diagrams of Galactic star clusters of various ages and metallicities. Stochastic fluctuations in the numbers of stars in different evolutionary phases can account for the full range of observed integrated colours of star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. The model reproduces in detail typical galaxy spectra from the Early Data Release (EDR) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We exemplify how this type of spectral fit can constrain physical parameters such as the star formation history, metallicity and dust content of galaxies. Our model is the first to enable accurate studies of absorption-line strengths in galaxies containing stars over the full range of ages. Using the highest-quality spectra of the SDSS EDR, we show that this model can reproduce simultaneously the observed strengths of those Lick indices that do not depend strongly on element abundance ratios [abridged].

Investigating the Pathogenecity of CHL1 Leu17Phe Polymorphism in Schizophrenia
Creators: name: Hansen, Brooke Nichole
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Schizophrenia is a devastating brain disorder that affects a surprising 1% of the world's population. Despite this prevalence, little is known about the molecular aspects of this disorder making it both difficult to diagnose and treat. Several studies have identified the CHL1 gene (Close Homolog of L1), sometimes referred to as CALL, as a risk gene for schizophrenia. CHL1, a neural cell adhesion molecule, has major roles in cell migration, and the development of dendritic and axonal projections. Therefore any deficiency in CHL1 may result in brain defects similar to those identified in schizophrenic populations. Moreover, in genetically engineered mice, studies have shown that deficiency of the CHL1 gene results in altered emotional reactivity (such as altered fear responses) and motor coordination, reduced sensorimotor gating and impaired working memory and spatial-temporal integration, similar characteristics to those seen in patients with schizophrenia.
The focus of this study is to assess the research literature available for CHL1 as well as investigate a single point mutation in the CHL1 sequence altering a leucine residue to a phenylalanine in the signal peptide of the protein (Leu17Phe) in order to produce a functional deficit of the CHL1 gene. This missense polymorphism has been identified as a risk factor for schizophrenia in Asian populations. Through this mutagenesis, we are able to study CHL1 protein recruitment to the cell membrane in order to understand CHL1's role in schizophrenia at a molecular level.

A spectroscopic survey of Abell 1703: is it a rare relaxed cluster hosting a radio halo or a usual merging system?

description: We present the study of the internal dynamics of the intriguing galaxy cluster Abell 1703, a system hosting a probable giant radio halo whose dynamical status is still controversial. Our analysis is based on unpublished spectroscopic data acquired at the Italian Telescopio Nazionale Galileo and data publicly available in the literature. We also use photometric data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We select 147 cluster members and compute the cluster redshift $\left\sim 0.277$ and the global line-of-sight velocity dispersion $σ_{\rm v}\sim 1300$ km/s. We infer that Abell 1703 is a massive cluster: $M_{200}\sim 1-2\times 10^{15}$ $M_{\odot}$. The results of our study disagree with the picture of an unimodal, relaxed cluster as suggested by previous studies based on the gravitational lensing analysis and support the view of a perturbed dynamics proposed by recent works based on Chandra X-ray data. The first strong evidence of a dynamically disturbed cluster comes from the peculiarity of the BCG velocity with respect to the first moment of the velocity distribution of member galaxies. Moreover, several statistical tests employed to study the cluster galaxies kinematics find significant evidence of substructure, being Abell 1703 composed by at least two or three subclumps probably caught after the core-core passage. In this observational scenario, the suspected existence of a radio halo in the centre of this cluster is not surprising and well agrees with the theoretical models describing diffuse radio sources in clusters.

Cultural Influences on Women in Leadership: An Extension of the Hofstede and GLOBE Dimensions
Creators: name: Bosshardt, Wendy
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Technology has forever changed the face of business. Although in the past business markets have been limited to local geographic areas, the concept of outsourcing has opened a diverse spectrum of international markets. An increase in suppliers and consumers can improve business effectiveness and efficiency, but entering international markets can be detrimental if the business is unaware of the subtle differences the new market has in regard to leadership styles and cultural values. Hofstede's cultural dimension analysis has been the primary research study for many industry and academic professionals (Bond 2002; Hofstede 1997). However, many scholars are questioning whether Hofstede's work is still relevant in the fast-changing business world, especially with the influx of women in the workforce. This proposal combines the research presented by Hofstede and the GLOBE study and narrows in on the effects culture has on women pursing leadership, particularly women already labeled as leaders. Seventy-two women from thirty-one different countries attending the 2014 Insight Dubai Conference were surveyed.

description: This is the first of a series of papers devoted to a global study of the photometric properties of the red stellar sequences in a complete sample of the Large Magellanic Cloud clusters, by means of near infrared array photometry. Deep J,H,Ks photometry and accurate Color Magnitude Diagrams down to K=18.5, i.e. 1.5 mag below the red He-clump, for six intermediate age clusters (namely NGC1987, NGC2108, NGC2190, NGC2209, NGC2231, NGC2249) are presented. A quantitative estimate of the population ratios (by number and luminosity) between Red Giant Branch and He-clump stars for each target cluster is provided and discussed in the framework of probing the so-called Red Giant Branch phase transition (RGB Ph-T). By using the Elson & Fall s-parameter as an age indicator, the observed RGB population shows a sharp enhancement (both in number and luminosity) at s=36. Obviously, the corresponding absolute age strictly depends on the details of theoretical models adopted to calibrate the s-parameter. Curiously, the currently available calibrations of the s-parameter in term of age based on canonical (by Elson & Fall 1988) and overshooting (Girardi et al. 1995) models provide ages that well agree within 10%, suggesting that the full development of the Red Giant Branch occurs at t=700 Myr and be a relatively fast event (delta t=300 Myr). However, the RGB Ph-T epoch derived from the overshooting calibration of the s-parameter turns out to be significantly earlier than the epoch provided by the recent evolutionary tracks by Girardi et al. (2000). A new calibration of the s-parameter based on high quality Color Magnitude Diagrams and updated models is urged to address the origin of this discrepancy and finally establish the epoch of the RGB Ph-T.

 Type material examined. None. Type material was not located in SYSU (visited by the author, Dec. 2019). The identification is based on the original description and Lin (1993).
 Additional material examined (2♂♂, 1♀). 1♂ (CCPC), CHINA, Guangxi Province, Guilin City, Xing’an County, Gaozhai, 500~ 600m, V.21–23.2013, Yu-Feng Hsu leg.; 1♂, 1♀ (ZMPC), Guangxi, Xing’an County, Mount Maoershan 25~ 30-v-2011.
 Remarks. When describing Mimela ruyuanensis, Lin (1990) overlooked the closest sibling, Mimela fruhstorferi Ohaus, 1902 (Fig. 15F–K) from Mount Mauson, Vietnam. A male topotype of M. fruhstorferi examined by Carsten Zorn (personal communication 2019) confirms that they are allied but not conspecific as they possess different body color and shape of parameres. Males of M. ruyuanensis have purplish luster upon the reddish brown body, while females of both species are reddish brown (Lin 1990, 1993; Ohaus 1902). Mimlea ruyuanensis is recorded from Guangxi Province for the first time.
