description: Motivated by the similarity between adiabatic quantum algorithms and quantum phase transitions, we study the impact of decoherence on the sweep through a second-order quantum phase transition for the prototypical example of the Ising chain in a transverse field and compare it to the adiabatic version of Grovers search algorithm, which displays a first order quantum phase transition. For site-independent and site-dependent coupling strengths as well as different operator couplings, the results show that (in contrast to first-order transitions) the impact of decoherence caused by a weak coupling to a rather general environment increases with system size (i.e., number of spins/qubits). This might limit the scalability of the corresponding adiabatic quantum algorithm.

title: Judgments of Intelligence and Likability for Young Adult Female Speakers of American English: The Influence of Vocal Fry and the Surrounding Acoustic-Prosodic Context
Creators: name: Parker, Michelle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Objective: There is little consensus about how the use of the voice quality feature, vocal fry, in the speech of college-aged American women influences listener judgements of the speaker. This study investigates how vocal fry influences the judgement of speaker intelligence and likeability in this population, while taking into account the surrounding acoustic-prosodic context, specifically speech rate and voice pitch.
Method: Speech samples were obtained from eight American English speaking females who presented with different combinations of voice pitch (low or high), speech rate (slow or fast), and vocal fry (presence or absence). Listener judgements from 463 adults (262 males; 201 females) regarding ratings of speaker intelligence and likeability were collected via online crowdsourcing.
Results: Generalized estimating equation models revealed significant three-way interactions between the vocal features of voice pitch, speech rate, and vocal fry for listener judgments of speaker intelligence and likeability. While vocal fry had favorable effects in some contexts (e.g., high pitch, fast rate) it appeared to have detrimental effects in others (e.g., low pitch, fast rate).
Conclusion: Listener judgements of young American woman based on information afforded in their speech behaviors are not solely based on the presence or absence of vocal fry, but rather a combination of features which interact with one another in unique ways. Thus, whether or not vocal fry projects a favorable impression in this population depends on the surrounding acoustic-prosodic context.

description: Co-therapy has been theorized to be effective both as a treatment technique and as a training technique for beginning therapists. However, little data exists to support either claim. The present study examined the effectiveness of co-therapy in both capacities. Groups of clients treated by supervisor-trainee duos and groups of clients treated by solo trainees with varying exposure to co-therapy supervision were compared on changes in scores on the Outcome Questionnaire (OQ-45). A comparison in the percentage of clients dropping out of treatment was also made across the groups. Although the results indicated that therapy produced statistically significant changes, with clients experiencing a reduction in scores on the OQ-45 across time, there was no difference between groups in the magnitude or direction of change. There was also no difference between groups on the variable of client retention. These results suggest that therapy provided by a supervisor-trainee duo was no more effective for the client than therapy provided by a solo trainee. Similarly, co-therapy supervision was no more effective for the trainee than ex post facto supervision.

description: We consider a potentially new class of gravitational wave sources consisting of a white dwarf coalescing into a massive black hole in the mass range ~10^4-10^5\msun. These sources are of particular interest because the gravitational wave signal produced during the inspiral phase can be detected by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) and is promptly followed, in an extended portion of the black hole and white dwarf mass parameter space, by an electro-magnetic signal generated by the tidal disruption of the star, detectable with X-ray, optical and UV telescopes. This class of sources could therefore yield a considerable number of scientific payoffs, that include precise cosmography at low redshift, demographics of black holes in the mass range ~10^4-10^5\Msun, insights into dynamical interactions and populations of white dwarfs in the cores of dwarf galaxies, as well as a new probe into the structure and equation of state of white dwarfs. By modelling the gravitational and electromagnetic radiation produced by these events, we find them detectable in both observational windows at a distance ~200 Mpc, and possibly beyond for selected regions of the parameter space. We also estimate the detection rate for a number of model assumptions about black hole and white dwarf mass functions and dynamical interactions: the rate is (not surprisingly) highly uncertain, ranging from ~0.01 yr^-1 to ~100 yr^-1. This is due to the current limited theoretical understanding and minimal observational constraints for these objects and processes. However, capture rate scaling arguments favor the high end of the above range, making likely the detection of several events during the LISA lifetime.

description: In this article we consider the linear stability of the two-dimensional flow induced by the linear stretching of a surface in the streamwise direction. The basic flow is a rare example of an exact analytical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. Using results from a large Reynolds number asymptotic study and a highly accurate spectral numerical method we show that this flow is linearly unstable to disturbances in the form of Tollmien-Schlichting waves. Previous studies have shown this flow is linearly stable. However, our results show that this is only true for Görtler-type disturbances.

title: Constraints of Haunted Heritage Tourism in Logan, Utah
Creators: name: Schroeder, Kylie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: It has become common in Salem, Savannah, New Orleans, Edinburg, or Gettysburg, to witness groups of people being led through the darkened streets as part of a ghost tour or haunted history walk. An altered form of commercialized legend tripping, these companies offer guided tours, feature spooky stories, and often showcase local history. However, the trend of haunted heritage tourism, especially in the form of ghost walks and haunted history tours, has spread beyond places with national or international reputations for hauntings and is now growing in small towns whose stories are rarely shared beyond the local populace.
This thesis examines a seasonal Utah haunted heritage event—Logan Ghost Tours (LGT)—and identifies the constraints that are being faced due to commodification. Annually they deal with issues of legal, physical access to locations, tour time, and travel distance while formatting a tour for the public. I look at the pragmatic constraints that result from the commodification of this recognized folk genre, the ways in which this company responds to those constraints, and the resulting impact on the form and content of the tour.
Through the purposeful selection of buildings and stories, the Logan Downtown Alliance has brought attention to specific locations and highlighted their significance to the town within the context of the tour. Regardless of the historical accuracy of the tour's content, the Downtown Alliance and their collaborators continue to identify meaningful spaces in Logan and fill them each year with stories and many diverse people to experience them.
Sensitive Samples Revisited: Detecting Neural Network Attacks Using Constraint Solvers

description: Neural Networks are used today in numerous security- and safety-relevant domains and are, as such, a popular target of attacks that subvert their classification capabilities, by manipulating the network parameters. Prior work has introduced sensitive samples -- inputs highly sensitive to parameter changes -- to detect such manipulations, and proposed a gradient ascent-based approach to compute them. In this paper we offer an alternative, using symbolic constraint solvers. We model the network and a formal specification of a sensitive sample in the language of the solver and ask for a solution. This approach supports a rich class of queries, corresponding, for instance, to the presence of certain types of attacks. Unlike earlier techniques, our approach does not depend on convex search domains, or on the suitability of a starting point for the search. We address the performance limitations of constraint solvers by partitioning the search space for the solver, and exploring the partitions according to a balanced schedule that still retains completeness of the search. We demonstrate the impact of the use of solvers in terms of functionality and search efficiency, using a case study for the detection of Trojan attacks on Neural Networks.

description: We present a new algorithm to compute the classical modular polynomial Phi_n in the rings Z[X,Y] and (Z/mZ)[X,Y], for a prime n and any positive integer m. Our approach uses the graph of n-isogenies to efficiently compute Phi_n mod p for many primes p of a suitable form, and then applies the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT). Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we achieve an expected running time of O(n^3 (log n)^3 log log n), and compute Phi_n mod m using O(n^2 (log n)^2 + n^2 log m) space. We have used the new algorithm to compute Phi_n with n over 5000, and Phi_n mod m with n over 20000. We also consider several modular functions g for which Phi_n^g is smaller than Phi_n, allowing us to handle n over 60000.

description: The $(d,α,β,γ)$-branching particle system consists of particles moving in $R^d$ according to a symmetric $α$-stable Lévy process $(0d)$. In some cases $H_T\equiv 1$ and in others $H_T\to\infty$ as $T\to\infty$ (high density systems). The limit processes are quite different for Lebesgue and for finite measures. Therefore the question arises of what kinds of limits can be obtained for Poisson intensity measures that are intermediate between Lebesgue measure and finite measures. In this paper the measures $μ_γ, γ\in (0,d]$, are used for investigating this question. Occupation time fluctuation limits are obtained which interpolate in some way between the two previous extreme cases. The limit processes depend on different arrangements of the parameters $d,α,β,γ$. Related results for the corresponding $(d,α,β,γ)$-superprocess are also given.
title: On the Use of Log-Transformation vs. Nonlinear Regression for Analyzing Biological Power-Laws
Creators: name: Xiao, Xiao
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Power-law relationships are among the most well-studied functional relationships in biology . Recently the common practice of fitting power-laws using linear regression on log-transformed data (LR) has been criticized, calling into question the conclusions of hundreds of studies. It has been suggested that nonlinear regression (NLR) is preferable, but no rigorous comparison of these two methods has been conducted. Using Monte Carlo simulations we demonstrate that the error distribution determines which method performs better, with LR better characterizing data with multiplicative lognormal error and NLR better characterizing data with additive normal error. Analysis of 471 biological power-laws shows that both forms of error occur in nature. While previous analyses based on log-transformation appear to be generally valid, future analyses should choose methods based on the error distribution. We provide detailed guidelines and associated computer code for doing so, including a model averaging approach for cases where the error structure is uncertain.

description: We report a study of suppressed spin dephasing for quasi-one-dimensional electron ensembles in wires etched into a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction system. Time-resolved Kerr-rotation measurements show a suppression that is most pronounced for wires along the [110] crystal direction. This is the fingerprint of a suppression that is enhanced due to a strong anisotropy in spin-orbit fields that can occur when the Rashba and Dresselhaus contributions are engineered to cancel each other. A surprising observation is that this mechanisms for suppressing spin dephasing is not only effective for electrons in the heterojunction quantum well, but also for electrons in a deeper bulk layer.

description: Geometric group theory is a relatively new branch of mathematics, studied as a distinct area since the 1990's. It explores invariant properties of groups based on group actions defined on topological or geometrical spaces. One of the pioneering works in geometric group theory is the article "Topological Methods in Group Theory" by Peter Scott and Terry Wall, written in 1977. This article was an overview of revised notes from an advanced course give in Liverpool in the same year. This report is an attempt to make these notes more accessible to lower level graduate students in the fields of topology or geometric group theory.

description: Intrinsic projector calibration is essential in projection mapping (PM) applications, especially in dynamic PM. However, due to the shallow depth-of-field (DOF) of a projector, more work is needed to ensure accurate calibration. We aim to estimate the intrinsic parameters of a projector while avoiding the limitation of shallow DOF. As the core of our technique, we present a practical calibration device that requires a minimal working volume directly in front of the projector lens regardless of the projector's focusing distance and aperture size. The device consists of a flat-bed scanner and pinhole-array masks. For calibration, a projector projects a series of structured light patterns in the device. The pinholes directionally decompose the structured light, and only the projected rays that pass through the pinholes hit the scanner plane. For each pinhole, we extract a ray passing through the optical center of the projector. Consequently, we regard the projector as a pinhole projector that projects the extracted rays only, and we calibrate the projector by applying the standard camera calibration technique, which assumes a pinhole camera model. Using a proof-of-concept prototype, we demonstrate that our technique can calibrate projectors with different focusing distances and aperture sizes at the same accuracy as a conventional method. Finally, we confirm that our technique can provide intrinsic parameters accurate enough for a dynamic PM application, even when a projector is placed too far from a projection target for a conventional method to calibrate the projector using a fiducial object of reasonable size.

description: We employ ionization-parameter mapping (IPM) to infer the optical depth of HII regions in the northern half of M33. We construct [OIII]$λ5007$/[OII]$λ3727$ and [OIII]$λ5007$/[SII]$λ6724$ ratio maps from narrow-band images continuum-subtracted in this way, from which we classify the HII regions by optical depth to ionizing radiation, based on their ionization structure. This method works relatively well in the low metallicity regime, $12 + \log(\rm O/H) \leq 8.4$, where [OIII]$λ\lambda4949,5007$ is strong. However, at higher metallicities, the method breaks down due to the strong dependence of the [OIII]$λ\lambda4959,5007$ emission lines on the nebular temperature. Thus, although O$^{++}$ may be present in metal-rich HII regions, these commonly used emission lines do not serve as a useful indicator of its presence, and hence, the O ionization state. In addition, IPM as a diagnostic of optical depth is limited by spatial resolution. We also report a region of highly excited [OIII] extending over an area $\sim$ 1 kpc across and [OIII]$\lambda5007$ luminosity of $4.9\pm 1.5\times10^{38}$ erg/s, which is several times higher than the ionizing budget of any potential sources in this portion of the galaxy. Finally, this work introduces a new method for continuum subtraction of narrow-band images based on the dispersion of pixels around the mode of the diffuse-light flux distribution. In addition to M33, we demonstrate the method on C III]$λ$1909 imaging of Haro~11, ESO 338-IG004, and Mrk~71.

description: We investigate the properties of quiescent and star-forming galaxy populations to z~2 with purely photometric data, employing a novel rest-frame color selection technique. From the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey Data Release 1, with matched optical and mid-IR photometry taken from the Subaru XMM Deep Survey and Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey respectively, we construct a K-selected galaxy catalog and calculate photometric redshifts. Excluding stars, objects with uncertain z_phot solutions, those that fall in bad or incomplete survey regions, and those for which reliable rest-frame colors could not be derived, 30108 galaxies with K<22.4 (AB) and z<2.5 remain. The galaxies in this sample are found to occupy two distinct populations in the rest-frame U-V vs. V-J color space: a clump of red, quiescent galaxies (analogous to the red sequence) and a track of star-forming galaxies extending from blue to red U-V colors. This bimodal behavior is seen up to z~2. Due to a combination of measurement errors and passive evolution, the color-color diagram is not suitable to distinguish the galaxy bimodality at z>2 for this sample, but we show that MIPS 24um data suggest that a significant population of quiescent galaxies exists even at these higher redshifts. At z=1-2, the most luminous objects in the sample are divided roughly equally between star-forming and quiescent galaxies, while at lower redshifts most of the brightest galaxies are quiescent. Moreover, quiescent galaxies at these redshifts are clustered more strongly than those actively forming stars, indicating that galaxies with early-quenched star formation may occupy more massive host dark matter halos. This suggests that the end of star formation is associated with, and perhaps brought about by, a mechanism related to halo mass.

The appearance of these optical transitions provides evidence for a symmetry change above the Neel temperature that affects the orbital ordering and paves the way for the antiferromagnetic ordering.

title: Assessing North American Influenza Dynamics with Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Models
Creators: name: Anderson, Jessica
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: We present a general statistical modeling framework to characterize continental-level influenza dynamics in the United States for the purposes of examining state-level epidemiological sources and sinks. The methods we describe depend directly on state-level influenza data that are updated weekly and available on the internet. Advances in search engine query analysis have provided powerful new tools for collecting epidemiological data and, when used in conjunction with sophisticated statistical models, allow for the identification and quantification of the flow of influenza across the continental United States. Our proposed methods, when conditioned on this comprehensive search query product, can provide unprecedented scientific learning about large-scale pathways and barriers to disease transmission which can ultimately be helpful for policy, remediation, and response efforts.

description: A current objective of low-energy nuclear theory is to build non-empirical nuclear energy density functionals (EDFs) from underlying inter-nucleon interactions and many-body perturbation theory (MBPT). The density matrix expansion (DME) of Negele and Vautherin is a convenient method to map highly non-local Hartree-Fock expressions into the form of a quasi-local Skyrme functional with density-dependent couplings. In this work, we assess the accuracy of the DME at reproducing the non-local exchange (Fock) contribution to the energy. In contrast to the scalar part of the density matrix for which the original formulation of Negele and Vautherin is reasonably accurate, we demonstrate the necessity to reformulate the DME for the vector part of the density matrix, which is needed for an accurate description of spin-unsaturated nuclei. Phase-space averaging techniques are shown to yield a significant improvement for the vector part of the density matrix compared to the original formulation of Negele and Vautherin. The key to the improved accuracy is to take into account the anisotropy that characterizes the local-momentum distribution in the surface region of finite Fermi systems. Optimizing separately the DME for the central, tensor and spin-orbit contributions to the Fock energy, one reaches a few-percent accuracy over a representative set of semi-magic nuclei. With such an accuracy at hand, one can envision using the corresponding Skyrme-like energy functional as a microscopically-constrained starting point around which future phenomenological parameterizations can be built and refined.

Statistical interaction description of Pauli crystals in two-dimensional systems of harmonically confined fermions

description: It has been conjectured that the Pauli exclusion principle alone may be responsible for a particular geometric arrangement of confined systems of identical fermions even when there is no interaction between them. These geometric structures, called Pauli crystals, are predicted for a two-dimensional system of free fermions under harmonic confinement. It is assumed that the system consists of neutral fermionic atoms with their spins frozen (spin-polarized) in order to avoid any form of electromagnetic interaction. These crystalline patterns emerge as the most frequent configurations seen in a large collection of single-shot pictures of the system. In this work, we pursue the possibility of this outcome and consider a theoretical model that may capture both qualitatively and quantitatively key features of the above mentioned setup. Our approach treats a quantum system of non-interacting fermions as an effective classical system of particles that interact with an effective statistical interaction potential that mimics the quantum statistics. For this model, we consider two-dimensional few-body systems of harmonically confined particles that interact with a statistical potential and calculate analytically the minimum energy configuration for specific values of relevant parameters. The results for N=3 and 6 particles show that the minimum energy configuration corresponds to and is in good quantitative agreement with the reported values of Pauli crystals seen in single-shot imaging data obtained via the configuration density technique. Numerical results for larger systems of N=15 and 30 particles show that the crystalline configurations observed are not the same as the classical Wigner crystal structures that emerge should the confined charged particles interact with a Coulomb potential. An important question floated is whether such structures do really exist in a quantum system.

Spheroidal magnetic stars rotating in vacuum

description: Gravity shapes stars to become almost spherical because of the isotropic nature of gravitational attraction in Newton's theory. However, several mechanisms break this isotropy like for instance their rotation generating a centrifugal force, magnetic pressure or anisotropic equations of state. The stellar surface therefore deviates slightly or significantly from a sphere depending on the strength of these anisotropic perturbations. In this paper, we compute analytical and numerical solutions of the electromagnetic field produced by a rotating spheroidal star of oblate or prolate nature. This study is particularly relevant for millisecond pulsars for which strong deformations are produced by the rotation or a strong magnetic field, leading to indirect observational signatures of the polar cap thermal X-ray emission. First we solve the time harmonic Maxwell equations in vacuum by using oblate and prolate spheroidal coordinates adapted to the stellar boundary conditions. The solutions are expanded in series of radial and angular spheroidal wave functions. Particular emphasize is put on the magnetic dipole radiation. Second, we compute approximate solutions by integrating numerically the time-dependent Maxwell equations in spheroidal coordinates. We show that the spin down luminosity corrections compared to a perfect sphere are to leading order given by terms involving $(a/r_L)^2$ and $(a/R)^2$ where $a$ is the stellar oblateness or prolateness, $R$ the smallest star radius and $r_L$ the light-cylinder radius. The corresponding perturbations in the electromagnetic field are only perceptible close to the surface, deforming the polar cap rims. At large distances $r\gg a$, the solution tends asymptotically to the perfect spherical case of a rotating dipole.

title: Assessing the Precision and Accuracy in a Small Sample of Actical Devices
Creators: name: Sherick, Peter
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Actigraphy is an increasingly popular approach in medicine to assess patient activity levels in a variety of scenarios. The devices are essentially accelerometers encased in a write-watch type assembly. This project sought to determine the device precision and accuracy for the Actical model. In a sample of four Acticals, it was found that intra-device variability was minimal. However, one device was found to be statistically biased in comparison to the other three. This bias could have adverse effects on aggregated or magnitude dependent data analysis. Also, inter-device comparisons may be problematic.

title: A Comparison of Prediction Methods of Functional Autoregressive Time Series
Creators: name: Didericksen, Devin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Functional data analysis (FDA) is a relatively new branch of statistics that has seen a lot of expansion recently. With the advent of computer processing power and more efficient software packages we have entered the beginning stages of applying FDA methodology and techniques to data. Part of this undertaking should include an empirical assessment of the effectiveness of some of the tools of FDA, which are sound on theoretical grounds. In a small way, this project helps advance this objective.
This work begins by introducing FDA, scalar prediction techniques, and the functional autoregressive model of order one - FAR(1). Two functional data prediction methods are discussed in detail. One method uses the estimator Ψp (Bosq, 2000), while the other finds the predictive loadings, which are the paths in a Hilbert space most relevant for prediction (Kargin and Onatski, 2008). A functional data simulation is carried out and used to compare the efficacy of the two methods. The design and results (presented in both graphs and numerical tables) are explained in-depth. Finally, conclusions are drawn and future work is outlined.

title: The Statistical Evaluation of Collective Risk Models With Various Distributional Assumptions
Creators: name: Li, Chang
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Our thesis includes 2 sections. In section 1, we mainly discuss the distribution function and the empirical simulation of the total claims amount for a portfolio with multiple distributional assumptions, under the collective risk model for a single period.
In section 2, we discuss the collective risk model for an extended period, which mainly deals with the amount of surplus over several periods of time. Let Un denote the surplus at time n, then we interested in the probability of ruin, that is, the probability that there exists an n such that Un< O. In this section, we put forward an algorithm for the probability of ruin (both theoretical and empirical) using this model, with various distributional assumptions, and compare the theoretical and empirical results.
