description: There has been a recent stimulus in the study of alternative theories of gravity lately, mostly triggered from combined motivation coming from cosmology/astrophysics and high energy physics. Among the proposed theories, one that has attracted much attention is f(R) gravity. It is certainly debatable whether such a simplistic modification of General Relativity can constitute a viable alternative theory of gravitation. However, it is quite straightforward to see the merits of such a theory when viewed as a toy theory whose role is to help us understand the implications and difficulties of beyond-Einstein gravity. Under this perspective, I review some of the main lessons we seem to have learned from the study of f(R) gravity in the recent past.

description: We present ALMA observations on and around the radio-quiet quasar UM287 at $z=2.28$. Together with a companion quasar, UM287 is believed to play a major role in powering the surrounding enormous Ly$α$ nebula (ELAN), dubbed the Slug ELAN, that has an end-to-end size of 450 physical kpc. In addition to the quasars, we detect a new dusty star-forming galaxy (DSFG), dubbed the Slug-DSFG, in 2 mm continuum with a single emission line consistent with CO(4-3). The Slug-DSFG sits at a projected distance of 100 kpc south-east from UM287, with a systemic velocity difference of $-360\pm30$ km s$^{-1}$ with respect to UM287, suggesting it being a possible contributor to the powering of the Slug ELAN. With careful modeling of SED and dynamical analyses it is found that the Slug-DSFG and UM287 appear low in both gas fraction and gas-to-dust ratio, suggesting environmental effects due to the host massive halo. In addition, our Keck long-slit spectra reveal significant Ly$α$ emissions from the Slug-DSFG, as well as a Ly$α$ tail that starts at the location and velocity of the Slug-DSFG and extends towards the south, with a projected length of about 100 kpc. Supported by various analytical estimates we propose that the Ly$α$ tail is a result of the Slug-DSFG experiencing ram pressure stripping. The gas mass stripped is estimated to be about 10$^9$ M$_\odot$, contributing to the dense warm/cool gas reservoir that is believed to help power the exceptional Ly$α$ luminosity.

description: Abstract

Communicable diseases are major health problems and affect the whole economy of the nation. So, it should become the prime agenda of developed and developing countries to prevent them. It seems necessary to educate people about disease transmission dynamics and to develop a new prevention strategy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of prevention strategies like Yogachara with quarantine. Yogachara (ahar, Vihar, achar and Vichar) boosts people psychologically and makes them aware of the disease. Mathematical epidemiology describes all the possible risk factors of communicable diseases, treatment modalities, human health policies and new opportunities for the planning, prevention and treatment of the diseases. Yogachara provides public health information as well as maintains the physical fitness of practitioners improves the whole metabolic system of the human body and helps to achieve the physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being of the practitioners. Motivated by the Eastern philosophy of Yoga, an SIQS mathematical model has been developed which contains three governing ordinary differential equations to describe the transmission dynamics of communicable disease. These equations were analyzed by using mathematical techniques. The next-generation matrix method is used to calculate the reproduction number and sensitivity analysis of parameters indicates that the reproduction number decreases with increased preventive measures like Yogachara. Local and global stability analysis at disease-free and endemic equilibria are calculated. Our results highlight that the theory-based and data-based Yogachara effect terms have almost the same result. Numerical simulations suggest that Yogachara has a positive influence in controlling disease dynamics. It reduces size in susceptibility and infectivity.

description: Future wireless networks need to support massive machine type communication (mMTC) where a massive number of devices accesses the network and massive MIMO is a promising enabling technology. Massive access schemes have been studied for co-located massive MIMO arrays. In this paper, we investigate the activity detection in grant-free random access for mMTC in cell-free massive MIMO networks using distributed arrays. Each active device transmits a non-orthogonal pilot sequence to the access points (APs) and the APs send the received signals to a central processing unit (CPU) for joint activity detection. The maximum likelihood device activity detection problem is formulated and algorithms for activity detection in cell-free massive MIMO are provided to solve it. The simulation results show that the macro-diversity gain provided by the cell-free architecture improves the activity detection performance compared to co-located architecture when the coverage area is large.

title: Heritage Interpretation Versus the Greatest Crisis the National Park Service has Ever Known
Creators: name: Petrtyl, Bryan R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: The greatest trick is to create the greatest crisis society has ever known without anyone recognizing it as such. In a society that mainly works with a sudden crises mentality, a problem whose negative effects are slowly spread out over decades and centuries is very easy to ignore, no matter how dire those effects will be in the long run. This trick is made all the more potent by occurring in a society that must witness destruction before it acts in a substantial manner; if visible destruction wrought by the crisis only occurs when it is too late to do anything about it, then the consequences could potentially lead to society’s collapse. Climate Change comes extremely close to being this greatest trick; propagated by a society that generally no longer finds the importance of providing for the needs of future generations through the preservation of natural resources and natural areas relevant, climate change is all too easily ignored or given importance much lower than necessary because its visible consequences only occur in this medium. Unfortunately a disconnect between humans and their survival needs prevents recognition of these resources as something more than a luxury; they are items humans require for survival. The salmon fisheries of Alaska, the breadbasket of the Great Plains, the rangelands of the West, these are all outcomes of previous climate changes; what happens to U.S. society if the current climate change leads to an environment that puts these ecosystems at a disadvantage, or, worse yet, leads to their end? While this might seem like the spoutings of a doom and gloom prophet or conspiracy theorist, one only needs to look to the fossil record to find evidence this outcome is not only possible, similar if not worse outcomes have occurred before! It seems that an old saying, slightly modified for the correct context, holds true: those who do not know (geologic) history are doomed to repeat it.
However, there is hope; if society can be made aware of the severity of the consequences of climate change, it can at least prepare for these outcomes, if not reduce them. What better way to do this in U.S. society than by revealing how something this society treasures is threatened by climate change. Something that has been repeatedly called “America’s best idea.”

Some tests of the efficacy of security regulation in Canadian capital markets
Creators: name: Kryzanowski, Lawrence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: While most lawyers, government officials and security regulators would find it difficult to conceive of an efficient and equitable stock market without existing security regulation; a number of brokers, investors and economists would not find it difficult to do so. Although the merits of each viewpoint have been debated at length, the efficacy of security regulation in improving the efficiency of security markets has not been resolved empirically. Given this deficiency in the literature, the major purpose of this thesis has been to derive specific hypotheses from the two competing viewpoints and then to empirically test the predictions of each hypothesis on the effectiveness of trading suspensions in improving the strong form efficiency of Canadian stock markets. The two hypotheses are the naive regulator (NR) hypothesis, which states that an unregulated market is efficient, and the sophisticated regulator (SR) hypothesis, which states that an unregulated market is not efficient. The competing hypotheses were empirically tested using a sample of 120 Canadian stocks that had their trading suspended temporarily because of a failure to disseminate requested firm-specific information. Three subsamples of the 120 stocks (allegedly manipulated, unfavourable information and favourable information) were also identified .and analyzed. According to the strong form of the efficient market hypothesis (and it logical consequence, the NR hypothesis), the effect of any information dispersed during a trading suspension should be zero, since any information not "fully reflected" in current stock prices would not be available to the regulators. On the other hand, the SR hypothesis predicts that the effect may not be zero because information not "fully reflected" in current stock prices may be known to regulators. The market's response to new information, such as the "non-public" information supposedly disseminated during a trading suspension, was measured by the firm-specific component of a securities' return. The significance of this market response was then examined by using a number of tests, such as the Fama-Fisher-Jensen-Roll test, the portfolio test, parameter sensitivity tests and a pooled cross-section time series regression test. The study identified regulators as having access to significant monopolistic information which is disseminated to the market (the public) during a trading suspension. It also found that while the market is efficient in the semi-strong form for favourable new public information, such is not the case for unfavourable new public information. Furthermore, the findings of the study suggest that deliberately pursued strategies of disseminating (and exploiting) misinformation are profitable.
title: The Effects of Parent Training on Knowledge of Transition Services For Students with Disabilities
Creators: name: Young, John
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: A major focus in secondary education for many students with disabilities is to improve independent living skills and prepare students with the vocational skills needed to participate in competitive employment. Yet the outcomes remain poor for these students when compared with their nondisabled peers. One factor accounting for poor outcomes is lack of preparation for the parents. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of parent training on knowledge of transition agencies and supports for students with disabilities. The study was intended to connect parents with needed agencies and supports for the purpose of improving transition outcomes for students with disabilities. Two types of training were compared: (a) exposure to a brochure with transition information, and (b) brochure exposure plus 60-min of small group training conducted by the researcher. The Brochure Only group consisted of 13 participants while the Brochure Plus Training Group had 16 participants. First, parents individually took a pretest to determine their knowledge of transition agencies and support services. Parents in the Brochure Only group showed a mean pretest score of 1.38 out of 10.0. Parents in the brochure plus training group showed a mean pretest score of 1.13 out of 10.0. Second, parents were given a copy of a transition brochure that included contact numbers and web site information for each agency discussed during the training. Parents in the brochure group reviewed the brochure information for up to 60 min. Parents in the brochure plus small-group training met with the researcher who described each agency and service. Third, immediately following the training, parents individually took the same test as a posttest. The brochure only group showed a mean posttest score of 3.0 out of 10.0, the mean difference score being 1.62 when compared to the pretest. The brochure plus training group showed a mean posttest score of 7.31 out of 10.0, the mean difference score being 6.19 when compared to the pretest. Finally, all participants were directed to select an agency from the brochure and set a goal to make contact with that agency. After 30 days, the researcher contacted all of the participants to verify if the contact was made. Results for the brochure plus training group showed that nine out of 16 parents made contact with a community agency. Results for the brochure only group showed that zero out of 13 made contact with a community agency. Parents who participated in the Brochure Plus Training showed a larger increase in their posttest knowledge score and were more likely to make contact with a community agency than parents in the Brochure Only group.

title: Volatility of Volatility Structural Parameter Estimation and Subsequent Cross-Sectional Returns
Creators: name: Alfen, Tyson Van
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Finance theory suggests that there is a direct positive relationship between a stock's return and that same stock's risk. Similarly, a common variable used as an attempt to quantify that risk is volatility. However, volatility almost certainly falls short of accounting for all the relevant risks that investors face. I hypothesize in this paper that the added volatility of volatility measure may help in the explanation of a stock's subsequent returns. I estimate volatility of volatility (vol of vol) by imposing a structural model on the data and then subsequently estimating the vol of vol parameter. My results show that this structural parameter estimate is unable to explain any of the subsequent (or current) stock returns, and thus fails to provide any evidence to support my hypothesis. I subsequently use a more simple estimate for the vol of vol and find that it is almost perfectly correlated with plain vanilla volatility which does instead have a signicant relationship with returns.

description: We generalize the notion of a Lie algebroid over infinite jet bundle by replacing the variational anchor with an N-tuple of differential operators whose images in the Lie algebra of evolutionary vector fields of the jet space are subject to collective commutation closure. The linear space of such operators becomes an algebra with bi-differential structural constants, of which we study the canonical structure. In particular, we show that these constants incorporate bi-differential analogues of Christoffel symbols.

description: This paper will mainly focus on a path-dependent option—Asian options. The value of a path-dependent option is affected by how the price of the underlying asset was reached at the time of maturity. Unlike a vanilla European option, the pay-off of an Asian option is a function of multiple points up to and including the price at expiry. Asian options are some of the most common exotic options traded. As P. Wilmott (2006) and E. G. Haug (2007) both point out, Asian options are popular in the OTC energy markets and in other commodity markets lacking liquidity. [9]

description: We review the stability of magnetized strange quark matter (MSQM) within the phenomenological MIT bag model, taking into account the variation of the relevant input parameters, namely, the strange quark mass, baryon density, magnetic field and bag parameter. A comparison with magnetized asymmetric quark matter in $β$-equilibrium as well as with strange quark matter (SQM) is presented. We obtain that the energy per baryon for MSQM decreases as the magnetic field increases, and its minimum value at vanishing pressure is lower than the value found for SQM, which implies that MSQM is more stable than non-magnetized SQM. The mass-radius relation for magnetized strange quark stars is also obtained in this framework.

title: The Effects of Financing Unfunded Social Security with Consumption Taxation when Consumers are Shortsighted
Creators: name: Clagg, Michael P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Using a representative-agent life-cycle model with consumer shortsightedness, I study an unfunded social security program financed via consumption taxation. Compared to financing an unfunded program with payroll taxation, I find that there is only a slight increase in well-being across planning horizons that is generated by a program with a consumption tax.
We suggest that both our data and the available time-series evidence are consistent with Milton Friedman's view that people save to smooth consumption over several years but, because of liquidity constraints, caution, or shortsighted-ness do not seek to smooth consumption over longer horizons. . . . Indeed, Milton Friedman explicitly rejected the idea that consumers had horizons as long as a lifetime in discussing the permanent income hypothesis (Carroll and Summers 1991 pp. 307, 355).

description: Children who are pre-lingually deaf or hard of hearing are often delayed in the acquisition and development of spoken language. Educators of the deaf and hard of hearing, of necessity, adapt and modify curriculum to ameliorate the delays inherent with hearing loss. Teachers utilize specialized strategies and techniques of presentation to adjust to the language and communication learning needs of children with hearing loss.Curricula are written to identify the developmental sequence of concepts and skills expected of typically developing children. The Utah Early Childhood Core Standards (UECCS) was established to help prepare children to have the pre-requisite skills and concepts to enter kindergarten. The expectation of the Utah State Board of Education is that all children will progress toward the attainment of the standards, whether they have special needs or not.UECCS provides guidelines to assist the adults in a child’s life, specifically teachers and parents, guide the child to attain the early childhood standards. Additional guidelines are provided for adults working with English language learners. This project identifies and describes consistencies and common elements of UECCS guidelines that correlate to commonly recognized best practice strategies and techniques utilized by LSL teachers of the deaf.As part of the project 18 experienced educators of children who are deaf and hard of hearing were interviewed to identify specific strategies, techniques, or practices that they have or would utilize to teach to the Utah standards. The results of interviews provided guidelines for adults working with early childhood children who are hearing impaired.The project created a reference/resource of coordinated teaching strategies for use with DHH children using the UECCS.

title: Development of Standards, Objectives, and Curriculum Guide to Teach Basic Electronics for Utah Science Credit in Secondary School Education
Creators: name: Pierce, Rick
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Recently, the Utah State Office of Education (USOE) has accepted Basic Electronics, Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code 47.0105, as an elective to fill the required third science credit for secondary education (grades 10-12) students. The current Utah state core standards and objectives used for curriculum development in the Basic Electronics classes are now inadequate, as they are more than 15 years old, and designed specifically for students pursuing a technical career path. A formatting change to the document was implemented in 2008, but the standards and objectives were not changed.Students are subsequently being taught the fundamentals of technology which were relevant nearly a generation ago. Much of that technology has since been replaced with greatly improved methods, equipment, and rapidly expanding applications (e.g., digital electronics). A new set of standards and objectives are needed which will be relevant and authentic to Basic Electronics as both an introductory electronics class, and a science elective.

description: The evolution of quadrupole and octupole collectivity in neutron-deficient Xe, Ba, Ce, and Nd nuclei near the "octupole magic" neutron number $N=56$ is investigated within the mapped $sdf$-IBM framework. Microscopic input is obtained via quadrupole and octupole constrained Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations, based on the parametrization D1M of the Gogny energy density functional. Octupole-deformed mean-field ground states are predicted for Ba and Ce isotopes near $N=56$. Excitation energies of positive- and negative-parity states as well as electric transition rates are computed with wave functions resulting from the diagonalization of the mapped IBM Hamiltonian. The parameters of the Hamiltonian are determined via the mapping of the mean-field potential energy surfaces onto the expectation value of the Hamiltonian in the condensate state of the $s$, $d$, and $f$ bosons. Enhanced octupolarity is predicted for Xe, Ba, and Ce isotopes near $N=56$. The shape/phase transition from octupole-deformed to strongly quadrupole-deformed near $N=60$ is analyzed in detail.

description: Abstract

Communicable diseases are major health problems and affect the whole economy of the nation. So, it should become the prime agenda of developed and developing countries to prevent them. It seems necessary to educate people about disease transmission dynamics and to develop a new prevention strategy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of prevention strategies like Yogachara with quarantine. Yogachara (ahar, Vihar, achar and Vichar) boosts people psychologically and makes them aware of the disease. Mathematical epidemiology describes all the possible risk factors of communicable diseases, treatment modalities, human health policies and new opportunities for the planning, prevention and treatment of the diseases. Yogachara provides public health information as well as maintains the physical fitness of practitioners improves the whole metabolic system of the human body and helps to achieve the physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being of the practitioners. Motivated by the Eastern philosophy of Yoga, an SIQS mathematical model has been developed which contains three governing ordinary differential equations to describe the transmission dynamics of communicable disease. These equations were analyzed by using mathematical techniques. The next-generation matrix method is used to calculate the reproduction number and sensitivity analysis of parameters indicates that the reproduction number decreases with increased preventive measures like Yogachara. Local and global stability analysis at disease-free and endemic equilibria are calculated. Our results highlight that the theory-based and data-based Yogachara effect terms have almost the same result. Numerical simulations suggest that Yogachara has a positive influence in controlling disease dynamics. It reduces size in susceptibility and infectivity.

description: Future detection of Extensive Air Showers (EAS) produced by Ultra High Energy Cosmic Particles (UHECP) by means of space based fluorescence telescopes will open a new window on the universe and allow cosmic ray and neutrino astronomy at a level that is virtually impossible for ground based detectors. In this paper we summarize the results obtained in the context of the EUSO project by means of a detailed Monte Carlo simulation of all the physical processes involved in the fluorescence technique, from the Extensive Air Shower development to the instrument response. Particular emphasis is given to modeling the light propagation in the atmosphere and the effect of clouds. Main results on energy threshold and resolution, direction resolution and Xmax determination are reported. Results are based on EUSO telescope design, but are also extended to larger and more sensitive detectors.

title: Examining Written and Spoken Fast-Mapping Abilities in Children With and Without Language Impairment: A Feasibility Study
Creators: name: Rice, Brooke
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Linguistic skills foundational to literacy success are skills such as phonology, morphology, and orthographic knowledge. Phonological awareness, the awareness of specific units of sounds within words, and morphological awareness, the meaningful units which make up words, have been studied in depth and received recent attention in research. Phonological awareness has been attributed to increased literacy abilities of written word decoding, syllable analysis, and word recognition (Stackhouse, 1997). Additionally, morphological awareness has been attributed to increased literacy abilities of sight word reading, decoding, reading comprehension, and spelling (Carlisle, 1995, 2000; Carlisle & Nomanbhoy, 1993; Wolter, Wood, & D’zatko, 2009). Orthographic awareness, however, has received less research attention. Specifically, the acquisition of orthographic memory, the memory of specific letter order in words, may be an important factor in children’s literary success (Apel, Wolter, & Masterson, 2006).Children with language impairment, a group found to be at risk for literacy success, have been found to have delays in the skill of quickly and incidentally acquiring an orthographic memory of written words, or written fast mapping (Wolter & Apel, 2010). Comparatively, Apel (2010) and Wolter & Apel (2010) found typically developing young children were able to acquire these representations and this written fast mapping was strongly associated with spelling and reading success. Apel (2010) also found written fast mapping ability to be closely linked to spoken language acquisition in children with typical language. The specific link, however, between written fast mapping and spoken language acquisition has yet to be explored in children with language impairment. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between written language acquisition, spoken language acquisition, and literacy success in children with language impairment compared to typically developing peers.
title: A Nation That Wasn't: The Whiskey Rebellion and a Fractured Early Republic
Creators: name: Whitaker, Kevin P.

description: Scholars often present nationalism as a cohesive social construction, modeled on Benedict Anderson's theory of imagined communities.1 The strength and popularity of Anderson's immensely useful paradigm of nationalism, however, perhaps leads to excited scholars over-extending his theory or seeing imagined communities that are little more than imaginary. The early Republic forms one such historical time period where, evidence suggests, historians have conjured nationalism where only a fractured nation existed. The various riots and rebellions during the early Republic strikingly expose a severely fractured nation. This paper will examine and critique some theoretical frameworks of nationalism and mobs in order to contextualize some prominent contemporary views on the Whiskey Rebellion. Ultimately, this paper marshals historical evidence to question the concept of nationalism in what was a fractured, and violently divided nation.
The Irish-Canadian : image and self-image, 1847-1870
Creators: name: Conner, Daniel

description: This thesis explores the ways in which the Irish-Catholic population of Canada was perceived and described by the newspapers of mid-Victorian Toronto and Montreal. A study of the leading political and religious journals at mid-century demonstrates the prolonged existence in Canada of hostile feelings towards the immigrant community, based both on Protestant aversion to Catholicism and on stereotypes of Irish character in general. The thesis argues that these antagonisms and unfavourable images were identified by the Irish community as contributing to its lack of economic, social and political progress. In defence against the hostility which they detected at all levels of society, and which was especially apparent in the vocabulary of disparagement and abuse with which Irish affairs were reported in Canadian newspapers, Irish-Catholics maintained a distinct and self-conscious sense of national community. This sense of group identity was clearly expressed in the emergence of an Irish ethnic press. The thesis presents the reactions of five Irish-Catholic newspapers, in Toronto and Montreal, to the inferior status of the immigrants in Canadian society. While showing the sensitivity of Irish-Catholics to the social, political and economic exclusion produced by their unfavourable reputation, it also argues that the Irish press simultaneously encouraged a coherent Irish group feeling in a conscious attempt to disarm anti-Irish prejudice. Irish-Catholic editors reminded their readers that in Canada the immigrants might prove that Irish nationality, given the equal opportunity and responsible government which they demanded for Ireland, could develop in loyalty, wealth and social respectability. The thesis concludes that it was this concern with social mobility which made the Irish press so sensitive to the ways in which the Canadian image of Irish-Catholics reflected and reinforced their social, economic and political retardation.
Urban population density distribution: a contribution from the Vancouver case

description: Colin Clark's model of the negative exponential population density decay function is applied to the Vancouver case. Though the model is claimed to hold true for all places at all times, it does not offer sufficient explanations why the process is occurring, nor does it pay due regards to the topographical effects. The application of the model to the east and south sections of Vancouver may throw some light to the rationale of the city growth process. We are able to compare the density gradient of the east and south due to the different timing of transportation improvement and physical morphology. By examining two sections of the same city we can isolate the effect of transportation on the density of development, since both sections are subject to the same growth pressures. The density profiles of the whole city, and the eastern and southern sections of it (in the shape of ring, single airline, sector and band) are prepared; and for each plotting of population density, two parallel regression runs are made with regard to both radial distance and travel time. The model is tested at four points in time; and its goodness of fit is measured by the coefficients of determination. The conclusions reached are as follows: 1. The quality of the model in replicating the Vancouver experience is similar to that found for a wide range of cities. 2. The east and the south are marked by the differential rates of density decline, which are mainly due to the date at which the development takes place. 3. The distance parameter measured in travel time from the CBD does not give a significantly better fit to the model than radial distance from the CBD. 4. The coefficients of determination of the model decline over time, suggesting variable pattern of population density within the city over time. 5. The imputed central density does not show a consistent decline over time. 6. The steepness of density decline decreases in the course of time.
