“Don’t Just Talk About It; Be About It”: Doing Equity Work in Mathematics Education
Creators: name: Jett, Christopher C.
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2013

description: During the last few decades, equity concerns have become a priority for some researchers and mathematics (education) organizations. Scholars have begun to address issues of equity through a critical lens (e.g., Boaler, 2007; Darling-Hammond, 2005; Martin, 2003) in their work and scholarship. In this article, the author seeks to add to the equity discourse by examining equity research pertinent to mathematics education. He encourages scholars to continue the critical dialogue concerning crafting fruitful equity research agendas, initiatives, etc. that will yield more equitable mathematics educational experiences, especially for students of color. The author concludes the article by challenging readers to move from scholar to activist as it relates to working on the frontlines in their respective spaces to produce equitable mathematics outcomes.

title: The Effect of Video Training to Improve the Accuracy of  University Supervisors In-Class Observations
Creators: name: Lyman, Julia
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: University supervisors of student teachers are often undertrained as to how to complete in-class observations. This project examined the effects of video training to improve the accuracy of university supervisors’ in-class observations. Participants were student teacher supervisors from various locations across the state who provide supervision for a local university in the Western U.S., and the university student teachers they supervised. Target behaviors included data collection on praise rate, percentage of specific praise, and opportunities for students to respond. The findings suggest that following training the participants collected data with varying results with some areas of high accuracy and others with less accuracy. The participants rated the social validity of supervisor training high. Additionally, the effects of video training somewhat generalized to in-class observations by the university supervisor but may be improved by enhancing the video training and providing feedback following the training videos. Results of this study indicate the importance of training university supervisors to
complete in-class observations with accuracy. These results also support the use of standardized video training to train supervisors.

description: High purity epitaxial FeSe0.5Te0.5 thin films with different thickness were grown by Pulsed Laser Ablation on different substrates. By varying the film thickness, Tc up to 21K were observed, significantly larger than the bulk value. Structural analyses indicated that the a axis changes significantly with the film thickness and is linearly related to the Tc. The latter result indicates the important role of the compressive strain in enhancing Tc. Tc is also related to both the Fe-(Se,Te) bond length and angle, suggesting the possibility of further enhancement.

description: A star will become brighter and brighter with stellar evolution, and the distance of its habitable zone will become farther and farther. Some planets outside the habitable zone of a host star during the main sequence phase may enter the habitable zone of the host star during other evolutionary phases. A terrestrial planet within the habitable zone of its host star is generally thought to be suited to life existence. Furthermore, a rocky moon around a giant planet may be also suited to life survive, provided that the planet-moon system is within the habitable zone of its host star. Using Eggleton's code and the boundary flux of habitable zone, we calculate the habitable zone of our Solar after the main sequence phase. It is found that Mars' orbit and Jupiter's orbit will enter the habitable zone of Solar during the subgiant branch phase and the red giant branch phase, respectively. And the orbit of Saturn will enter the habitable zone of Solar during the He-burning phase for about 137 million years. Life is unlikely at any time on Saturn, as it is a giant gaseous planet. However, Titan, the rocky moon of Saturn, may be suitable for biological evolution and become another Earth during that time. For low-mass stars, there are similar habitable zones during the He-burning phase as our Solar, because there are similar core masses and luminosities for these stars during that phase.

title: Effects of Alternate Sustainable Soil Amendments on Organic Dryland Wheat Systems
Creators: name: Sorenson, Crista
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Organic winter wheat production in northern Utah is faced with several limitations, such as water and available soil nutrients. This study explored the possibility of adding a cover crop in the rotation to improve grain yield. There was also a replication of a large on-farm compost treatment of 18 Mg/ha (dry) for comparison.
Cover crops were selected based on a fall-planted study. Treatments included birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) with inoculants planted at 20 kg/ha, Austrian winter peas (Pisum sativum subsp. arvense) with inoculants planted at 36 kg/ha, hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) with inoculants planted at 50 kg/ha, and Deloris hard red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) planted at 55 kg/ha. Morgan Dairy compost was applied at 18 Mg/ha (dry). A control plot was included and received no treatment as it would be in a regular fallow season.
There was significant biomass for the Austrian winter pea which leads to the realistic viability of incorporating a legume. However, the yield of the grain for each of the cover crop treatments was significantly lower than the grain planted without a cover crop. It is not reasonable to incorporate a cover crop in the current rotation with a full fallow season.
Interestingly, incorporating compost increased protein by as much as one percent. As expected, incorporating an additional growth cycle negatively impacted grain yield. Adding a growing cycle into the rotation decreased the yield by more than 50% in some treatments. ANOVA statistical test have been used for comparison with a p
The long-term effects on overall soil heath still needed to be evaluated. Rotating in a high biomass crop such as pea could lighten the economic stress involved with loss of yield for the producers. Further research is necessary to identify the best direction for organic winter wheat producers in northern Utah.

description: Whereas there are numerous studies on the challenges for Strategic Human Resource Management in improving the organization’s performance (Ericksen & Dyer, 2004; Lovell, 2009), few recognize the challenges for Strategic Human Resource Management in organizations with a hybrid (virtual / traditional) work option; particularly its impact on achieving organizational goals and objectives.  The specific objective of this study is to identify changes to the way that work is done, as implemented by the hybrid (virtual / traditional) workforce, and its effects, if any, on Strategic Human Resource Management policies and practices.  The issue is important in that the link between Strategic Human Resource Management and the overall strategic units of business does improve the organization’s competitive advantage.

Tbx1 in cardirc immune and remodeling after myocardial infarction

Subjects: Genome sequencing

description: The transcription factor The T-box 1 (TBX1, encoded by Tbx1) plays an important role in the embryonic development of the heart. Extensive studies and our experiments have been performed to confirm the ability of Tbx1 to improve cardiac function in myocardial remodeling. We have previously demonstrated that Tbx1, a fetal gene that encodes a T-box transcription factor, was reactivated after acute myocardial infarction (MI) and expressed specifically in cardiac lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC). However, there is a great controversy whether it was involved in myocardial remodeling, and nothing is known about associated changes and its contribution to the immune response after myocardial infarction (MI). We thus hypothesised that specific-LEC Tbx1 was a key signalling element in effecting cardiac function. We subjected Tbx1 conditional knockout (cKO), Tbx1 conditional over expressing (OE) mice and wild type (WT) controls to permanent left coronary artery (LCA) ligation to induce MI. We firstly investigated total immune cells (defined as CD45+) involved inflammatory response by scRNA-seq to analyze their cellular compositions, and we identify 8 clusters of cell types, each with distinct gene expression profiles and unique features. cKO hearts exhibiting exacerbated post-MI adverse LV remodelling were observed increased numbers of T cells and promoted the functions associated with T cell differentiation and activation. OE hearts were sufficient to improve cardiac function compared to WT hearts showing an increase of the number of macrophages. Accordingly, we provide insights into the macrophages changes effected by Tbx1 expression, then characterized a special cluster of Arg1 high macrophages that were aberrant signaling changes associated with OE hearts. In addition, we used SpaTial Enhanced REsolution Omics-sequencing (Stereo-seq) with a nanoscale resolution to characterize the infarcted microenvironment. We found specific fibrotic composition (most myofibroblasts) in infarcted area of OE according to the results of the deconvolution. The protective function of Tbx1 possibly is mediated by Fn1/Cd44 interactions from myofibroblasts to Arg1 high macarophages. Taken together, the results suggest that Tbx1 signalling in LEC is not involved in cardiac development but has adverse effects on the heart after injury via a master regulator of cardiac immune microenvironment and fibrosis and might be an potential attractive target for improving post-MI outcome.

description: In response to an expanding definition of mathematical proficiency, educators must attend to what mathematically proficient students should know as well as what they should do. As students are asked to struggle and wrestle with mathematics, educators should expect that students demonstrate perseverance through engagement with difficult mathematics. This has significant implications for seeing one’s self as a learner and doer of mathematics, particularly for those with historically limited access to mathematics-related opportunities. A case study analysis of a pair of students in a second grade classroom engaged in algebraic reasoning revealed a striking example of perseverance in action that supports mathematical learning. Analysis of classroom discourse across the classroom revealed the social and sociomathematical norms of the classroom that supported such perseverance. Developing mathematically proficient students who persevere has widespread implications as it is those who see themselves as doers of mathematics who have the most access to future educational and economic opportunities. *This study was supported in part by a grant (#R305A100181) from the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education.

description: We perform a statistical analysis with the prospective results of future experiments on neutrino-less double beta decay, direct searches for neutrino mass (KATRIN) and cosmological observations. Realistic errors are used and the nuclear matrix element uncertainty for neutrino-less double beta decay is also taken into account. Three benchmark scenarios are introduced, corresponding to quasi-degenerate, inverse hierarchical neutrinos, and an intermediate case. We investigate to what extend these scenarios can be reconstructed. Furthermore, we check the compatibility of the scenarios with the claimed evidence of neutrino-less double beta decay.

title: Coal Smoke and Valve Oil: The Steam Era in Cache Valley Agriculture
Creators: name: Johnson, Michael W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: Over 60 years have passed since steam threshing engines went out of production, yet the legendary machines refuse to vanish from the American scene. At scores of threshing shows every summer, millions of people turn out to experience the drama and poetry that is steam power. Of themselves, the machines are fascinating, but this alone does not explain the continuing interest that perpetuates the anachronistic rituals of steam threshing. The rhythmic tuck-a-tuck of the exhaust, the drone of the separator, and the lingering aroma of coal smoke and valve oil provide a vital link to the age of our fathers and grandfathers. For many, observing a steam engine at work is a profound emotional experience.
In the Cache Valley of Utah and Idaho, the steam threshing phenomenon is alive and well. When steam was retired in this part of the Wheatbelt, collectors scoured the area to preserve examples of the venerated machines. Their annual threshing bees delighted the rural community. Today, most of those original collectors have gone to their reward, but their engines continue to operate at a local agricultural museum, the Ronald V. Jensen Living Historical Farm. Out of many special events on the museum's calendar, steam threshing consistently draws more visitors than the others combined. The high level of sustained interest demonstrated by local residents indicates that steam threshing is perceived as a significant part of their history and culture.
Surprisingly, little has been written on this topic by local or, indeed, national historians. Almost four decades have passed since Reynold Wik published Steam Power on the American Farm, the only comprehensive book to deal with agricultural steam engines in the United States. This remains a fine and informative monograph, but it ignores that part of the wheatbelt that fell within the Mormon sphere of influence. An in-depth exploration of local steam threshing would reveal a great deal about lifestyles and values in Cache Valley, especially during that critical period that Charles Peterson has dubbed "the Americanization of Utah." But before such weighty issues can be tackled, a good deal of basic information must be assembled. That is the purpose of this work.
The following pages endeavor to chart the rise and fall of the steam era in Cache Valley agriculture. Because the equipment and many of the customs evolved in other areas, it begins with a national overview. It then establishes the beginnings of steam power locally as a precedent for its eventual adoption in agriculture, and it describes the conditions which made that adoption a reality. going further, it addresses local sales practices, steam plowing, the training of enginemen, what harvesting methods, and the hazards of engine operation. The demise of the steam engine is discussed as a consequence of the internal combustion tractor. Finally, a brief retrospective examines the significance of agricultural steam power in Cache Valley history and culture.

description: We investigate a toy model of inductive interacting agents aiming to forecast a continuous, exogenous random variable E. Private information on E is spread heterogeneously across agents. Herding turns out to be the preferred forecasting mechanism when heterogeneity is maximal. However in such conditions aggregating information efficiently is hard even in the presence of learning, as the herding ratio rises significantly above the efficient-market expectation of 1 and remarkably close to the empirically observed values. We also study how different parameters (interaction range, learning rate, cost of information and score memory) may affect this scenario and improve efficiency in the hard phase.

Evaluation of habitat features responsible for variations in the abundance of endangered Nooksack dace (Rhinichthys cataractae sp. cataractae) and the role of habitat restoration in their recovery
Creators: name: Gray, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Nooksack dace (Rhinichthys cataractae sp. cataractae) are a federally endangered riffle specialist with a limited distribution in the lower Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. Population declines have been associated with the loss and degradation of riffle habitat from stream dredging, channelization, and excessive sediment inputs. However, dace abundance may be further impacted by temporal and spatial variation in juvenile recruitment associated with deteriorating water quality and the degradation of rearing habitat. To assess the effectiveness of restoring riffle habitat as a recovery strategy for Nooksack dace, I constructed gravel and cobble riffles on two replicate tributaries of the Nooksack River as described in my second thesis chapter. In my third chapter, I report the results of visual field surveys and in-stream enclosure experiments designed to identify the factors driving variation in young-of-the-year dace recruitment. Dace abundance increased significantly within cobble addition treatment riffles but not in gravel addition treatment riffles, relative to unaltered control riffles, indicating that riffle habitat restoration has the potential to be an effective recovery strategy to increase dace abundance. Increasing dace abundance within riffle habitat restored with cobble substrate appeared to be associated with the increased availability of interstitial refuges large enough to be exploited by dace, rather than substrate effects on invertebrate prey abundance, suggesting that interstitial refuges may limit adult dace abundance. My results also indicate that juvenile growth rates increase with water temperature and that low juvenile recruitment is associated with the encroachment of invasive reed canarygrass, which is implicated in the loss of the shallow marginal bar habitat preferred by post-hatch fish. Together the results from these chapters fill key knowledge gaps in the biology of Nooksack dace that will directly inform management and conservation priorities.
Place, Poverty, and Algebra: A Statewide Comparative Spatial Analysis of Variable Relationships

description: Place matters in moderating variable relationships between algebra performance and educational variables because there are differences on the socioeconomic (SES) poverty-affluence continuum that shape local contexts. This article examines relationships between variables for school district demographic composition, teaching and financial contexts, student behavior variables, and Algebra I performance as measured by a statewide test aggregated at the district level. The purpose is to investigate how these relationships vary across 471 districts within a state using spatial mapping. Local R2’s from geographically weighted regressions (GWR) are mapped using a geographic information system (GIS) to demonstrate variation in relationships across districts. Results show the importance of allowing relationships to “vary” between local contexts and that using a global measure of variable relationships based on aggregated data fails to capture important local variation. This analysis suggests that policy focused on addressing the influence of poverty on algebra performance should be targeted based on region specific models.

description: A series of amphiphilic LC block copolymers, in which the hydrophobic block is a smectic polymer poly(4-methoxyphenyl 4-(6-acryloyloxy-hexyloxy)-benzoate) (PA6ester1) and the hydrophilic block is polyethyleneglycol (PEG), were synthesized and characterized. The self-assembly of one of them in both the pure state and the dilute aqueous solution was investigated in detail. Nano-structures in the pure state were studied by SAXS and WAXS on samples aligned by a magnetic field. A hexagonal cylindrical micro-segregation phase was observed with a lattice distance of 11.2 nm. The PEG blocks are in the cylinder, while the smectic polymer blocks form a matrix with layer spacing 2.4 nm and layer normal parallel to the long axis of the cylinders. Faceted unilamellar polymer vesicles, polymersomes, were formed in water, as revealed by cryo-TEM. In the lyotropic bilayer membrane of these polymersomes, the thermotropic smectic order in the hydrophobic block is clearly visible with layer normal parallel to the membrane surface.

Factors Affecting Mathematics Achievement Gaps in Korea

Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this paper is to describe the achievement gap in Korea. Despite the success in Korea’s economy and education within a short period, deepening disparity of economic wealth has given rise to a critical issue of an achievement gap. The primary results of this study found that the determinants of the achievement gap in Korea include socioeconomic status [SES], regional factors, and private education. Independently or in combination, these three factors seem to have an influence on the differentiation of student achievement. It was revealed that parents’ academic background and family income are closely correlated with student achievement, and students from urban areas score much higher than those from rural areas. Although students with a higher level of achievement spend more time and money on taking non-school private lessons than the lower level of students, private education has little impact on the improvement of achievement scores. Finally, this paper discusses the educational policies to narrow the gap in student achievement in Korea.

description: Dr. Uri Treisman, professor of mathematics and public affairs at The University of Texas at Austin and the director of the Charles A. Dana Center, has deep and active roots in mathematics and mathematics education. Dr. Treisman is well known for his early work at the University of California at Berkeley, where he developed the Calculus Workshop Model in response to differential outcomes in Calculus among African American, white, and Asian students. His continuing work in mathematics education, particularly his impact on equity in the field and his current work focusing on mathematics teaching and learning in community colleges was reflected in his remarks on September 29, 2012, during the annual Program in Mathematics Colloquium Series. Dr. Treisman had initially planned to give a talk on the technical aspects of scaling educational innovations, but seeing that the audience was composed largely of young teachers and teachers-to-be, he instead gave an impromptu talk on teaching mathematics. This is an edited version of those remarks. —Ed.

description: In this work we define two kinds of crested product for reversible Markov chains, which naturally appear as a generalization of the case of crossed and nested product, as in association schemes theory, even if we do a construction that seems to be more general and simple. Although the crossed and nested product are inspired by the study of Gelfand pairs associated with the direct and the wreath product of two groups, the crested products are a more general construction, independent from the Gelfand pairs theory, for which a complete spectral theory is developed. Moreover, the $k$-step transition probability is given. It is remarkable that these Markov chains describe some classical models (Ehrenfest diffusion model, Bernoulli--Laplace diffusion model, exclusion model) and give some generalization of them. As a particular case of nested product, one gets the classical Insect Markov chain on the ultrametric space. Finally, in the context of the second crested product, we present a generalization of this Markov chain to the case of many insects and give the corresponding spectral decomposition.

description: We introduce a non-disordered lattice spin model, based on the principle of minimizing spin-spin correlations up to a (tunable) distance R. The model can be defined in any spatial dimension D, but already for D=1 and small values of R (e.g. R=5) the model shows the properties of a glassy system: deep and well separated energy minima, very slow relaxation dynamics, aging and non-trivial fluctuation-dissipation ratio.

Creators: name: Salgado, Aaron
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: This compilation of academic papers is a portfolio designed to invite the reader to explore the author’s beliefs and ideas concerning effective second language learning and teaching. Divided into three main parts, this portfolio addresses: 1. expressing the author’s teaching philosophy while putting his position into the context from which it formed, 2. exploring the research perspectives that drive the author to continue participating in this academic field, 3. and chronicling the process of studying the academic material that inspired the previous two sections. Major topics include a macro view of the U.S. government’s and its education system’s dance together over time, the author’s resulting opinion on modern education paradigms, the pragmatics of having to refuse something, challenges for language learners who write in a second language, and a look at the changing conception of literacy due to technology.

title: Interview and Focus Groups Analysis of Decreased Composite Benchmark Scores on Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills DIBELS from  Kindergarten to First Grade Students
Creators: name: Flanary, Loreen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: School districts in the state of Utah are required to use Dynamic Indicators of Basic Literacy Skills (DIBELS) as an assessment of reading ability for students in kindergarten through fifth grade. The Logan City School District (LCSD) kindergarten end of year (EOY) Composite DIBELS data have been strong over the past 5 years with over 90% of students scoring at benchmark. In comparison, in each of those 5 years, first grade beginning of year (BOY) data drops considerably. LCSD is concerned with this trend because it is larger than the state trend of 13-14%, the trend is increasing, and this decrease is the biggest among all grade levels. The purpose of this study was to gather information from experts, a representative from DIBELS, and a representative from the DIBELS reporting company Amplify, in an interview; then the interview was shared along with the LCSD DIBELS data with three focus groups of administrators, kindergarten teachers, and first grade teachers, to analyze the data. The strongest hypothesis of the focus groups for the reason for the large decrease from EOY kindergarten to BOY first grade Composite data on DIBELS for LCSD students was awareness of how proficient the student performance was at benchmark. The focus groups discussed possible hypothesis and made recommendations for the district on steps to take to further study the issue. This study has brought to the attention of administrators and educators the need to analyze LCSD DIBELS data more intently and to begin to effect change moving forward.
The Russian Uniform State Examination in Mathematics: The Latest Version
Creators: name: Marushina, Albina
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2012

description: This paper aims to tell how the Russian national examination in mathematics (the Uniform State Examination or USE) has been conducted most recently. The author must say at once that the history of the system of secondary school graduation examinations or even the history of the USE will be covered only to the small degree that is necessary for understanding the current situation (more information can be found in Karp & Zvavich, 2011; Karp, 2007; Karp, 2003; these papers also served as a resource for writing the introductory sections of this paper). The goal of this paper looks modest, particularly given that the format of the USE obviously is subject to change; the USE, however, is so important for the Russian mathematics education, and the current situation is so typical of the challenges that are confronted in conducting assessment on the national level, that this situation deserves to be analyzed in considerable detail.

title: Application of Strand-Cartesian Interfaced Solver on Flows Around Various Geometries
Creators: name: Yanagita, Yushi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: This work examines the application of a high-order numerical method to strand-based grids to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. Coined "Flux Correction", this method eliminates error terms in the fluxes of traditional second-order finite volume Galerkin methods. Flux Correction is first examined for applications to the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations to compute turbulent flows on a strictly strand-based domain. Flow over three geometries are examined to demonstrate the method’s capabilities: a three-dimensional bump, an infinite wing, and a hemisphere-cylinder configuration. Comparison to results obtained from established codes show that the turbulent Flux Correction scheme accurately predicts flow properties such as pressure, velocity profiles, shock location and strength. However, it can be seen that an overset Cartesian solver is necessary to more accurately capture certain flow properties in the wake region.
The Strand-Cartesian Interface Manager(SCIM) uses a combination of second-order trilinear interpolation and mixed-order Lagrange interpolation to establish domain connectivity between the overset grids. Verification of the high-order SCIM code are conducted through the method of manufactured solutions. Steady and unsteady flow around a sphere are used to validate the SCIM library.
The method is found to be have a combined order of accuracy of approximately 2.5, and has improved accuracy for steady cases. However, for unsteady cases the method fails to accurately predict the time-dependent flow field.
Assessment in Finnish Schools
Creators: name: Savola, Lasse
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2012

description: The Finnish National Board of Education has been publishing guidelines for the evaluation of student learning in the comprehensive school since the 1970s. This evaluation is two-fold: 1) during school it guides and supports students along their academic paths and 2) at the conclusion of the comprehensive school it expresses each student’s level of proficiency to the larger community. The Finnish educational authorities conduct sample-based assessments, which are used as a basis for program improvements. They do not, however, endorse high-stakes, total cohort testing. Instead of external measures of accountability, the emphasis is on trust.

The Mathematics Portfolio: An Alternative Tool to Evaluate Students’ Progress
Creators: name: Sole, Marla A.
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2012

description: This article describes the need for more thorough and varied forms of assessment to evaluate students’ level of understanding in mathematics. Portfolios are one type of assessment tool that, when added to a teacher’s repertoire can improve students’ comprehension and retention and enable students to monitor their own progress and to take more responsibility for their own learning. Portfolio assignments can also help students and teachers to detect and remedy weaknesses and misunderstandings and can increase students’ self-confidence in mathematics. This article discusses what a portfolio is, gives an example of a unit portfolio used in an undergraduate Finite Mathematics course to assess students understanding of Venn diagrams, describes the benefits and challenges of using unit portfolios, and discusses how teachers can evaluate portfolios with a rubric. By providing practical advice, this article can be used as a framework for teachers who have the desire to incorporate portfolio assignments, in addition to more traditional tools of assessment, at the undergraduate or K–12 grade levels.
