The Italian Geography of Regional Resilience: The Role of Cooperative Firms
Creators: name: Costa, Michele

Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2021
Subjects: SECS-S/01 Statistica

description: We investigate the economic resilience of the Italian regions between 2008 and 2019. We then calculate some indices of resistance as well as recovery for both real GDP per capita and employment. We show that during (and after) recessions such indices follow different patterns and the Southern regions perform worse than the rest of the country. Then we try to detect if and how the composition of employment relates to regional resilience. We show that the size of the cooperative employment improves the overall resilience of regional employment, especially during recoveries. We also show and explain that this is not the case with cooperative added value as related to the resilience of regional GDP. Overall, the cooperative movement seems to positively contribute to the resilience of regional economies, supporting an inclusive growth especially through the employment channel.

description: The surface abundance of lithium on the Sun is 140 times less than protosolar, yet the temperature at the base of the surface convective zone is not hot enough to burn Li. A large range of Li abundances in solar type stars of the same age, mass and metallicity is observed, but theoretically difficult to understand. An earlier suggestion that Li is more depleted in stars with planets was weakened by the lack of a proper comparison sample of stars without detected planets. Here we report Li abundances for an unbiased sample of solar-analogue stars with and without detected planets. We find that the planet-bearing stars have less than 1 per cent of the primordial Li abundance, while about 50 per cent of the solar analogues without detected planets have on average 10 times more Li. The presence of planets may increase the amount of mixing and deepen the convective zone to such an extent that the Li can be burned.

title: Pathway Pioneer: A Web-Based Metabolic Network Layout Extension
Creators: name: Dosi, Harsh
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: The number and complexity of genome-scale metabolic networks is increasing as new systems are characterized and existing models are extended. Tools for visualization of network topology and dynamics are not keeping pace and are becoming a bottleneck for advancement. Specifically, visualization tools are not optimized for human comprehension and often produce layouts where important interactions and inherent organization are not apparent. Researchers seek visualizations in which the network is partitioned into functional modules and compartments, arranged in linear, cyclic, or branching schema as appropriate, and most importantly, can be customized to their needs and shared. Challenges include the wide diversity in the biological standards, layout schemas, and network formats. This work introduces a web-based tool that provides this functionality as an extension to the existing web-based tool called Pathway Pioneer (www.pathwaypioneer.org). Pathway Pioneer is a dynamic web-based system built as a front-end graphical user interface to the flux balance analysis tool COBRA-py. Full click-and-drag layout editing capabilities are added allowing each metabolite and reaction to be translated and rotated as connecting edges are automatically redrawn. Initial automated layouts for new models maximize planarity while clustering reactions based on subsystem module and compartment. The users are given maximum flexibility to design specific layouts while details of convention, such as joined in and out of reaction edges, disconnected co-factors, and connected metabolites, are automatically handled. Layouts can be shared among researchers and explored to archival Symphony format, along with pdf and png images. This tool provides the user with a semi automatic layout algorithm along with graphical and interactive tools to fully customize the network layout for optimal comprehension. Export capabilities are compatible with COBRA-py and other visualization tools. It provides a platform for share model development and innovation to the community, sharpening the R&D curve, and improving the turn-around time of model reconstruction at the genome-scale. Pathway Pioneer provides unique capabilities in customization of metabolic networks that complements and overcomes limitations of the growing body of existing tools.

description: We present evidence that the very-high-energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray emission coincident with the supernova remnant IC 443 is extended. IC 443 contains one of the best-studied sites of supernova remnant/molecular cloud interaction and the pulsar wind nebula CXOU J061705.3+222127, both of which are important targets for VHE observations. VERITAS observed IC 443 for 37.9 hours during 2007 and detected emission above 300 GeV with an excess of 247 events, resulting in a significance of 8.3 standard deviations (sigma) before trials and 7.5 sigma after trials in a point-source search. The emission is centered at 06 16 51 +22 30 11 (J2000) +- 0.03_stat +- 0.08_sys degrees, with an intrinsic extension of 0.16 +- 0.03_stat +- 0.04_sys degrees. The VHE spectrum is well fit by a power law (dN/dE = N_0 * (E/TeV)^-Gamma) with a photon index of 2.99 +- 0.38_stat +- 0.3_sys and an integral flux above 300 GeV of (4.63 +- 0.90_stat +- 0.93_sys) * 10^-12 cm^-2 s^-1. These results are discussed in the context of existing models for gamma-ray production in IC 443.

Connections Between Local and Global Turbulence in Accretion Disks

description: We analyze a suite of global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) accretion disk simulations in order to determine whether scaling laws for turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability, discovered via local shearing box studies, are globally robust. The simulations model geometrically-thin disks with zero net magnetic flux and no explicit resistivity or viscosity. We show that the local Maxwell stress is correlated with the self-generated local vertical magnetic field in a manner that is similar to that found in local simulations. Moreover, local patches of vertical field are strong enough to stimulate and control the strength of angular momentum transport across much of the disk. We demonstrate the importance of magnetic linkages (through the low-density corona) between different regions of the disk in determining the local field, and suggest a new convergence requirement for global simulations -- the vertical extent of the corona must be fully captured and resolved. Finally, we examine the temporal convergence of the average stress, and show that an initial long-term secular drift in the local flux-stress relation dies away on a time scale that is consistent with turbulent mixing of the initial magnetic field.

Creators: name: Adams, John William
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1964

description: There was a period during the early history of Utah when grasses in some areas grew so tall that it hid grazing cattle and sheep from view. However, mismanagement caused this to change and depleted grassland was invaded by noxious weeds, sagebrush, and pinyon-juniper. This deterioration of choice grassland to less desirable range cover was aided by the attitude of stockmen that pasture was available on a first come first serve basis. As a result of such an attitude and the unsatisfactory condition of ranges. the era of free, uncontrolled use of grazing lands came to a close with the introduction of the Taylor Grazing Act in 1934. This act provided for classification of all unappropriated and unreserved lands. Grazing districts were organized and regulations were established for the distribution of grazing permits and the setting of fees to be charged for the use of public lands (9, p.14).1

description: We present triple-axis neutron scattering studies of low-energy magnetic fluctuations in strongly underdoped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ with $x=0.05$, $0.06$ and $0.07$, providing quantitative evidence for a direct competition between these fluctuations and superconductivity. At dopings $x=0.06$ and $x=0.07$, three-dimensional superconductivity is found, while only a very weak signature of two-dimensional superconductivity residing in the CuO$_2$ planes is detectable for $x=0.05$. We find a surprising suppression of the low-energy fluctuations by an external magnetic field at all three dopings. This implies that the response of two-dimensional superconductivity to a magnetic field is similar to that of a bulk superconductor. Our results provide direct evidence of a very gradual onset of superconductivity in cuprates.

description: It has been evidenced by the increased amount of contacts being made in Counseling Services of Utah State University that students have been very much concerned about whether or not they should be in college. The discussion concerning which college to attend has been heard often among high school graduates, and for many, Utah State University has been a first choice. An increased drop-out rate among students has been found in the past few years. This study has been accomplished to determine which of the entering students at Utah State have been sufficiently prepared to enter into a course of study on a full time basis. The many drop-outs have been an indication that many have not been prepared for collegiate work at this institution. If this has been the case, it is properly in order that some studying and reviewing be done in connection with the entrance requirements of the University.

description: We compute the 3-loop O(αα_s) correction to the Higgs boson production cross section arising from light quarks using an effective theory approach. Our calculation probes the factorization of QCD and electroweak perturbative corrections to this process. We combine our results with the best current estimates for contributions from top and bottom quarks to derive an updated theoretical prediction for the Higgs boson production cross section in gluon fusion. With the use of the MSTW 2008 parton distribution functions that include the newest experimental data, our study results in cross sections approximately 4-6% lower for intermediate Higgs boson masses than those used in recent Tevatron analyses that imposed a 95% confidence level exclusion limit of a Standard Model Higgs boson with M_H=170 GeV.

Early mortality and the numbers of blue grouse.
Creators: name: Zwickel, Fred C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the level of first summer mortality in blue grouse is determined by the condition of the hen and that this in turn determines the level of subsequent fall and spring densities. Early mortality was studied in a series of field and aviary comparisons of chicks on, or from, two areas of Vancouver Island that were in different stages of vegetative succession, following logging and burning. The summer recruitment each year was then compared to annual trends and mortality rates as determined for the breeding populations. No relevant differences were found in the pre-hatch parameters of recruitment (clutch size, fertility, and hatchability) between areas or years. No differences were found in the survival of young between areas, but differences were found between years. There were always sufficient young produced into the fall period to replace the annual losses in the breeding population. The major conclusions are: (1) early mortality does vary between years but does not vary between different habitat types or between areas with different breeding densities, (2) variations in early mortality between years are a result of as yet undetermined parental influences, and (3) this mortality is involved in the regulation of fall numbers, but is not involved in the regulation of subsequent breeding levels in established populations.

description: We consider the Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass model on the half-plane $Z \times Z^+$ with zero external field and a wide range of choices, including mean zero Gaussian, for the common distribution of the collection J of i.i.d. nearest neighbor couplings. The infinite-volume joint distribution $K(J,α)$ of couplings J and ground state pairs $α$ with periodic (respectively, free) boundary conditions in the horizontal (respectively, vertical) coordinate is shown to exist without need for subsequence limits. Our main result is that for almost every J, the conditional distribution $K(α|J)$ is supported on a single ground state pair.

Dynamic dielectric function and phonon self-energy from electrons strongly correlated with acoustic phonons in 2D Dirac crystals

description: The unique structure of two-dimensional (2D) Dirac crystals, with electronic bands linear in the proximity of the Brillouin-zone boundary and the Fermi energy, creates anomalous situations where small Fermi-energy perturbations are known to critically affect the electron-related lattice properties of the system. The Fermi-surface nesting (FSN) conditions determining such effects via electron-phonon interaction, require accurate estimates of the crystal's response function $(χ)$ as a function of the phonon wavevector q for any values of temperature. Numerous analytical estimates of $χ(q)$ for 2D Dirac crystals beyond the Thomas-Fermi approximation have been so far carried out only in terms of dielectric response function $χ(q,ω)$, for photon and optical-phonon perturbations, due to relative ease of incorporating a q-independent oscillation frequency in their calculation. However, models accounting for Dirac-electron interaction with ever-existing acoustic phonons, for which $ω$ does depend on q and is therefore dispersive, are essential to understand many critical crystal properties. The lack of such models has often led to assume that the dielectric response function $χ(q)$ in these systems can be understood from free-electron behavior. Here, we show that, different from free-electron systems, $χ(q)$ calculated from acoustic phonons in 2D Dirac crystals using the Lindhard model, exhibits a cuspidal point at the FSN condition. Strong variability of $\frac{\partialχ}{\partial q}$ persists also at finite temperatures, while $χ(q)$ may tend to infinity in the dynamic case even where the speed of sound is small, albeit nonnegligible, over the Dirac-electron Fermi velocity. The implications of our findings for electron-acoustic phonon interaction and transport properties such as the phonon line width derived from the phonon self energy will also be discussed.

Examining an inclusive economic approach to improving health outcomes for diverse populations within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
Creators: Mayan, Maria
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

CIHR Operating grant awarded 2022: Purpose: To examine an inclusive economic approach to improving health outcomes for diverse populations within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Research Questions: 1) How are inclusive economic strategies implemented to improve health outcomes for diverse populations within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic? 2) How do these strategies affect health outcomes for diverse populations, and are these health outcomes distributed equitably? 3) How has experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic affected workers’ perspectives regarding employment and their physical, mental, and social health?

Guided by case study methodology and principles of integrated knowledge translation, we will use multiple qualitative and quantitative methods (participant observation, document reviews, policy analysis, surveys for descriptive and inferential statistical analyses).  Data will be drawn from two groups: staff at End Poverty Edmonton and partnering entities implementing inclusive economic strategies, and diverse workers (e.g., newcomers, women, LGBTQQIP2SAA). Knowledge generated will serve to inform innovative changes to policies and practices that support inclusive economies in Alberta and beyond.

Aspects of AdS flux vacua with integer conformal dimensions
Creators: name: Apers, Fien
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The DGKT vacua are a class of AdS$_4$ flux vacua showing full moduli stabilization, parametric control, and a parametric separation of scales. The particular masses of the moduli remarkably give rise to integer conformal dimensions in the light spectrum of the would-be holographic duals. In this note, we comment on two properties for AdS flux vacua with integer conformal dimensions. First, there are polynomial spacetime-dependent shift symmetries for the moduli. Secondly, the leading scalings of the central charge and the moduli can be directly deduced from the near-horizon geometry of stacks of orthogonally-intersecting D-brane domain walls dual to the unbounded fluxes. We illustrate this in a couple of examples of AdS$_4$ and AdS$_3$ parametric flux vacua.

Creators: name: Singh, Sumit Kumar
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: As stoichiometric metabolic models increase in complexity and fidelity, design and reconstruction tools are urgently needed to increase the productivity of this time-consuming process. Engineers require software for the exploration, evaluation, and rapid analysis of model alternatives within an intuitive visualization and data management framework. This thesis introduces such a tool: Pathway Pioneer (www.pathwaypioneer.org), a web based system built as a front-end graphical user interface to the flux balance analysis tool COBRA. Pathway Pioneer adds additional functionality for customized network layout and model-engineering collaboration through shared models and model version control. Pathway Pioneer is a dynamic, clickable, browser-based visualization system for metabolic network models retrieved from databases such as BiGG or developed in-house as SBML or XLS compliant files. The user can customize the network layout to visually organize the metabolites and reactions into functional modules. The tool supports zooming and panning, level-of-detail control, flux visualization, keyword searching, and hierarchical subsystem organization. A reaction may be knocked out, set as an objective, looked up in a database or many other operations by a single click on the visualized network. Following each operation the visualization is refreshed with the new flux values. The system supports model revision control to manage alternative network configurations and supports sharing of models and layouts to the broader community. By moving the computationally intensive model analysis from the user computer to remote servers, Pathway Pioneer enables the application of high performance cloud-based resources for greater efficiency and scalability. I demonstrate the utility of Pathway Pioneer through application in model reconstruction and analysis of many standard models and also two new models under development: Eukaryotic multicompartment Chinese Hamster Ovary (Cho) cells and in a large-scale Escherichia coli system for bio-manufacturing.

description: Recent measurements of Casimir forces have provided evidence of an intricate modification of quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in complex geometries. Here we introduce a multiple scattering description for Casimir interactions between bodies of arbitrary shape and material composition, admitting an expansion as a sequence of inter- and intra-body wave scatterings. Interactions in complex geometries can be computed within the current experimental resolution from typically a few wave scatterings, notably without any a priori knowledge of the scattering amplitudes of the bodies. Some first applications demonstrate the power of the approach.

Joints and faults may act as mechanisms for seal bypass, allowing fluids to escape from the reservoir.
The injection and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in subsurface porous sandstone with effective top seals is a proposed method for reducing the amount of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere in the system of carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS). Uplift and erosion of the San Rafael Swell in south-central Utah has exposed the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone and Carmel Formation reservoir-seal pair that is analogous to potential CO2 injection targets. The outcrops show evidence of seal failure through mesoscopic opening-mode fractures and faults in the caprock.
We focus on three sites of different structural position with exposures of the reservoir-seal pair that were analyzed for fracture characteristics. Deformation-band
faults, joints, and joint clusters are present in the Navajo Sandstone and deformation-band faults are present in the Page Sandstone where faulting has occurred. The structures in the reservoir lithologies penetrate the interface and transition into opening-mode fractures in the caprock. The fractures in the caprock show evidence of seal failure which include multiple mineralization events and bleaching, likely from reducing fluids within the fractures. Seal failure is most likely where fracture density is highest. Fracture density data acquired from scan-line measurements shows that fracture density is highest in fracture clusters, in the syncline hinge where curvature is highest, and near faults. The fracture distributions are related to the structural settings in which transmissive fractures have predictable orientations.
The opening-mode fractures and faults of the study may compromise the seal integrity of the caprock and are undetectable using traditional seismic techniques. Mesoscopic subseismic seal-compromising features may allow CO2 to leak though the caprock slowly, which could be significant over the thousands of years necessary for CCUS to be feasible.

description: Given two maps f1 and f2 from the sphere Sm to an n-manifold N, when are they loose, i.e. when can they be deformed away from one another? We study the geometry of their (generic) coincidence locus and its Nielsen decomposition. On the one hand the resulting bordism class of coincidence data and the corresponding Nielsen numbers are strong looseness obstructions. On the other hand the values which these invariants may possibly assume turn out to satisfy severe restrictions, e.g. the Nielsen numbers can only take the values 0, 1 or the cardinality of the fundamental group of N. In order to show this we compare different Nielsen classes in the root case (where f1 or f2 is constant) and we use the fact that all but possibly one Nielsen class are inessential in the selfcoincidence case (where f1 = f2). Also we deduce strong vanishing results.

description: We propose an extension of the five dimensional gravitational action with an external source in order to allow arbitrary smoothing of the negative tension brane in the Randall-Sundrum model. This extended action can be derived from a model with an auxiliary four form field coupled to the gravity. We point out a further generalization of our model in relation to tachyon condensation. A possible mechanism for radion stabilization in our model is also discussed.

title: A Computational Fluid Dynamics Validation Experiment for Forced and Mixed Convection on a Vertical Heated Plate
Creators: name: Harris, Jeff Robert
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation experiment is conducted for convection flow from a heated plate in buoyancy aided and opposed orientations. The design of the experiment to meet CFD validation completeness standards is described. Previous experiments and simulations have been completed, but none measure or present to necessary boundary conditions to define the simulation boundary conditions. Experimental measurements of forced and mixed convection are presented, along with measured boundary conditions sufficient to compute simulations for validations purposes. Some simulation results are described, but a complete validation study is not included. Simulations are conducted to ensure all necessary boundary conditions are being measured. This document and the corresponding website will provide sufficient explanation and data to repeat the experiment and sped the setup of future validation experiments. The data and boundary conditions are available for download on a website dedicated to validation data dissemination. Along with the validation data, the response quantities provide some insight into the flow characteristics of the boundary layer for convective flow from a vertical flat plate.

title: Exploring the Lived Experiences of Couples Making the Transition to Parenthood and the Meaning They Ascribe to Brief, Couple-Focused, Preventative Interventions
Creators: name: Michael, Dolores D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: A descriptive, phenomenological research design was used to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and meaning of couples’ experiences as they made the transition to parenthood. Specifically, this study examined what is the lived experience of couples making the transition to parenthood and what meaning do they ascribed to the experience of brief, couple-focused, preventative interventions? Five couples who were expecting their first baby participated in this study. From the data provided, two major categories emerged. The first was the couples’ experiences with becoming new parents and the second was the couples’ experiences with therapy. Under the first category, five major themes emerged: (1) physical and emotional challenges, (2) bonding with baby, (3) satisfaction in roles and new identity, (4) impact of social support, and (5) stability of relationship satisfaction. Three themes were discovered under the category related to the couples’ experience with therapy: (1) facilitated communication, (2) stress management, and (3) preparation for the transition. This study concluded by discussing the essence of the phenomenon of couples’ experiences with the transition to parenthood and the meaning they ascribed to therapeutic interventions along with clinical implications of these findings.
PRED-CLASS: cascading neural networks for generalized protein classification and genome-wide applications

description: A cascading system of hierarchical, artificial neural networks (named PRED-CLASS) is presented for the generalized classification of proteins into four distinct classes-transmembrane, fibrous, globular, and mixed-from information solely encoded in their amino acid sequences. The architecture of the individual component networks is kept very simple, reducing the number of free parameters (network synaptic weights) for faster training, improved generalization, and the avoidance of data overfitting. Capturing information from as few as 50 protein sequences spread among the four target classes (6 transmembrane, 10 fibrous, 13 globular, and 17 mixed), PRED-CLASS was able to obtain 371 correct predictions out of a set of 387 proteins (success rate approximately 96%) unambiguously assigned into one of the target classes. The application of PRED-CLASS to several test sets and complete proteomes of several organisms demonstrates that such a method could serve as a valuable tool in the annotation of genomic open reading frames with no functional assignment or as a preliminary step in fold recognition and ab initio structure prediction methods. Detailed results obtained for various data sets and completed genomes, along with a web sever running the PRED-CLASS algorithm, can be accessed over the World Wide Web at http://o2.biol.uoa.gr/PRED-CLASS

description: Luminous red novae (LRNe) are transients characterized by low luminosities and expansion velocities, and are associated with mergers or common envelope ejections in stellar binaries. Intermediate-luminosity red transients (ILRTs) are an observationally similar class with unknown origins, but generally believed to either be electron capture supernovae (ECSN) in super-AGB stars, or outbursts in dusty luminous blue variables (LBVs). In this paper, we present a systematic sample of 8 LRNe and 8 ILRTs detected as part of the Census of the Local Universe (CLU) experiment on the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). The CLU experiment spectroscopically classifies ZTF transients associated with nearby ($<150$ Mpc) galaxies, achieving 80% completeness for m$_{r}<20$\,mag. Using the ZTF-CLU sample, we derive the first systematic LRNe volumetric-rate of 7.8$^{+6.5}_{-3.7}\times10^{-5}$ Mpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$ in the luminosity range $-16\leq$M$_{\rm{r}}$$\leq -11$ mag. We find that in this luminosity range, the LRN rate scales as dN/dL $\propto L^{-2.5\pm0.3}$ - significantly steeper than the previously derived scaling of $L^{-1.4\pm0.3}$ for lower luminosity LRNe (M$_{V}\geq-10$). The steeper power law for LRNe at high luminosities is consistent with the massive merger rates predicted by binary population synthesis models. We find that the rates of the brightest LRNe (M$_{r}\leq-13$ mag) are consistent with a significant fraction of them being progenitors of double compact objects (DCOs) that merge within a Hubble time. For ILRTs, we derive a volumetric rate of $2.6^{+1.8}_{-1.4}\times10^{-6}$ Mpc$^{-3}$yr$^{-1}$ for M$_{\rm{r}}\leq-13.5$, that scales as dN/dL $\propto L^{-2.5\pm0.5}$. This rate is $\approx1-5\%$ of the local core-collapse supernova rate, and is consistent with theoretical ECSN rate estimates.

description: Determining the composition of giant exoplanets is crucial for understanding their origin and evolution. However, the planetary bulk composition is not measured directly but must be deduced from a combination of mass-radius measurements, knowledge of the planetary age and evolution simulations. Accurate determinations of stellar ages, mass-radius, and atmospheric compositions from upcoming missions can significantly improve the determination of the heavy-element mass in giant planets. In this paper, we first demonstrate the importance of an accurate age measurement, as expected from Plato, in constraining the planetary properties. Well-determined stellar ages can reduce the bulk-metallicity uncertainty up to about a factor of two. We next infer the bulk metallicity of warm giants from the Ariel mission reference sample and identify the Ariel high-priority targets for which a measured atmospheric metallicity can clearly break the degeneracy in the inferred composition. We show that knowledge of the atmospheric metallicity can broadly reduce the bulk-metallicity uncertainty by a factor of four to eight. We conclude that the accurate age determination from Plato and atmospheric measurements by Ariel and the James Webb Space Telescope will play a key role in revealing the composition of giant exoplanets.
