Magnetic resonance imaged tibiofemoral contact in standing during toe-in and toe-out positions
Creators: name: Cochrane, Christopher K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis is a common, painful disease typically affecting the medial compartment of the tibiofemoral joint (TFJ). It is thought to result from excessive loading through the knee joint, and conservative treatments, like toe-in and toe-out gait modification, have been designed to alter the distribution of forces through the joint. Toe-in and toe-out have shown improvements in pain over the short-term, but it is not clear what changes actually occur within the TFJ. Since changes in orientation and contact between the tibia and femur would be indicative of altered loading in the TFJ, our goal was to examine the TFJ in standing with toe-in and toe-out positions using an open magnetic resonance scanner. Methods: This was a within-subjects study comparing tibiofemoral contact in standing in three foot positions (neutral, 0 degrees foot rotation; toe-in, 20 degrees internal rotation; and toe-out, 20 degrees external rotation). Fifteen young participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging of one of their knees. Images were analyzed to determine contact in the TFJ, with primary outcomes including centroid of contact and contact area for each compartment and overall. Results: The centroid of contact shifted laterally in the lateral compartment with the toe-in position compared to the neutral position (p = 0.05) while toe-out resulted in a lateral shift of the centroid of contact for the entire joint (p < 0.01). Contact area tended to increase in the lateral compartment for both toe-in and toe-out positions, while contact area in the medial compartment tended to decrease with toe-out, but increase with toe-in, when compared to the neutral position. Orientation of the shank was similar in flexion/extension and adduction/abduction while rotation showed statistically significant changes (p < 0.01), as expected. Study limb pressure was also similar between conditions. Conclusion: Findings from this study indicate that changes are present in the TFJ with toe-in and toe-out and that a lateralization of contact does occur as expected. This illustrates the potential for toe-in and toe-out gait modifications to alter the loading environment of the knee and has positive implications for their use as clinical treatment options for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.

Gli arcipelaghi e Il Figlio di Bakunìn: l'io narrante tra letteratura e cinema
Creators: name: Mereu, Myriam
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2012

description: Obiettivo del presente contributo è analizzare la struttura di due noti romanzi sardi, Il figlio di Bakunìn di Sergio Atzeni e Gli arcipelaghi di Maria Giacobbe, caratterizzati da una narrazione in prima persona, e dimostrare come il materiale narrativo è riorganizzato e riplasmato nelle trasposizioni cinematografiche, dirette rispettivamente da Gianfranco Cabiddu (1997) e da Giovanni Columbu (2001). La locuzione impiegata per riferirsi ai film è quella di traduzione intersemiotica, che riprende la terminologia del linguista Roman Jakobson. In questo modo, si vogliono mettere in evidenza l’intento dei registi di ricreare i fili narrativi dei romanzi e la volontà di riproporre, reintepretandoli, i punti di vista di ciascun personaggio. In un secondo momento, l’attenzione sarà rivolta alle scelte linguistiche adottate nei romanzi e nei film.

description: Med strukturreformen er det nu kommunen selv, der skal fastlægge trafikomfang og ser-viceniveau for bustrafikken i København. Med retten følger også pligten til at betale for den besluttede service. Trafikselskab Sjælland skal samle det ønskede trafikomfang og serviceniveau fra kommunerne i en sammenhængende køreplan. Derudover skal Trafik-selskab Sjælland stå for udbud og drift, samt markedsføring af den samlede bustrafik. Der vil også i fremtiden være behov for et samspil med andre myndigheder om tilrette-læggelsen af bustrafikken i København og den omgivende region. Formålet med Busplan 2007 er at klæde de københavnske politikere på til deres nye rolle. Busplan 2007 vil indeholde en beskrivelse af den nuværende busbetjening i København og samspillet med tog og Metro. Men Busplan 2007 er samtidig et konkret oplæg til, hvorledes bustrafikken i København skal udvikle sig i 2007 og de følgende år. Indlægget vil fokusere dels på det konkret indhold i Busplan 2007 dels på den organisato-riske forankring og politiske proces bag behandlingen og godkendelsen af planen i Kø-benhavns Kommune. Indlægget giver et indblik i, hvordan Københavns Kommune vil udfylde sin nye rolle i forbindelse med tilrettelæggelsen af bustrafikken i kommunen. Det vil forhåbentlig kunne give stof til en bredere dialog/debat omkring håndteringen af de nye roller med kommu-nalreformen.

description: We analyze the most natural formulations of the minimal lepton flavour violation hypothesis compatible with a type-I seesaw structure with three heavy singlet neutrinos N, and satisfying the requirement of being predictive, in the sense that all LFV effects can be expressed in terms of low energy observables. We find a new interesting realization based on the flavour group $SU(3)_e\times SU(3)_{\ell+N}$ (being $e$ and $\ell$ respectively the SU(2) singlet and doublet leptons). An intriguing feature of this realization is that, in the normal hierarchy scenario for neutrino masses, it allows for sizeable enhancements of $μ\to e$ transitions with respect to LFV processes involving the $τ$ lepton. We also discuss how the symmetries of the type-I seesaw allow for a strong suppression of the N mass scale with respect to the scale of lepton number breaking, without implying a similar suppression for possible mechanisms of N production

Great Salt Lake Watershed: Its Role in Maintaining the Wetlands of the Great Salt Lake

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: The following bioregional planning study is a direct result of the 2009- 2010 studio project initiated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The FWS contacted the study team and asked them to determine how the future growth and development of the Bear River Watershed would impact the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge (BRMBR). The study looked at all of the physical and biophysical systems within the Bear River Watershed to identify the issues that had an effect on the BRMBR.
It became apparent from the original project that the future of the BRMBR and other Great Salt Lake wetlands was dependent upon the future use of water within the Bear River Watershed and the Great Salt Lake Watershed as a whole.
Further research uncovered significant proposed withdrawals to the tributaries of the Great Salt Lake as well as some directly from the lake itself. After discussions with multiple stakeholders that rely on water from Great Salt Lake tributaries and water from the lake, it became clear that there was a need for a study to determine how the proposed future use of water within the Great Salt Lake Watershed would affect the wetlands that border the lake.
It is the goal of this study to determine how the future growth and development within the Great Salt Lake Watershed will affect the wetlands of the Great Salt Lake (both managed wetlands and naturally occurring wetlands). This study will focus on how future water development and urban growth will impact wetland size and function. iv

description: Thermally-driven atmospheric escape evolves from an organized outflow (hydrodynamic escape) to escape on a molecule by molecules basis (Jeans escape) with increasing Jeans parameter, the ratio of the gravitational to thermal energy of molecules in a planet's atmosphere. This transition is described here using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method for a single component spherically symmetric atmosphere. When the heating is predominantly below the lower boundary of the simulation region, R0, and well below the exobase, this transition is shown to occur over a surprisingly narrow range of Jeans parameters evaluated at R0: λ0 ~ 2-3. The Jeans parameter λ0 ~ 2.1 roughly corresponds to the upper limit for isentropic, supersonic outflow and for λ0 >3 escape occurs on a molecule by molecule basis. For λ0 > ~6, it is shown that the escape rate does not deviate significantly from the familiar Jeans rate evaluated at the nominal exobase, contrary to what has been suggested. Scaling by the Jeans parameter and the Knudsen number, escape calculations for Pluto and an early Earth's atmosphere are evaluated, and the results presented here can be applied to thermally-induced escape from a number of solar and extrasolar planetary bodies.

Comparison of Two Approaches to Improving Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency for School-Aged, English Language Learners: Two-Group, Pretest/Posttest Design
Creators: name: Dalton, Tanja A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This preliminary study was designed to examine which of two interventions (standard practice or narrative based) was associated with better improvement in cognitive academic language proficiency, or literate language, for school-age children learning as a second language(English Language Learners; ELLs). We hypothesized that narrative-based intervention would yield better outcomes than the standard practice intervention because it provided children with contextual cues, redundancy, and predictability, which should promote learning and generalization.
We employed a pre/post test design and included 18 children (ELLs) who were at-risk for language and learning problems to test the hypothesis that narrative-based language intervention would yield better outcomes than a standard practice intervention. Children were randomly assigned to a standard practice intervention (n = 9, average age=112.89 months, SD=15.09 months) or narrative-based language intervention (n = 9, average age=106 months, SD=17.10 months). Children in both groups were seen for 30-45 minutes per day, 4 days per week for 6 weeks in groups of three or four. An ELL teacher administered both intervention programs. Outcomes were measured using the recalling sentences subtest of the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-4 in English (CELF-4; Semel, Wiig, & Secord, 2003) and Spanish (CELF-4-Spanish Edition; Semel, Wiig, & Secord, 2006), a story retelling and analysis of stories produced using the Test of Narrative Language in English and Spanish before and after intervention.
Results suggested that both interventions were effective in increasing cognitive academic language proficiency.

description: My MFA thesis project is an exploration of the evolving nature of patterns, and how set shapes and lines can take on new form through position, scale, repetition and color. I have designed four Scandinavian style patterns with imagery and colors drawn from my roots and childhood in Sweden. With the inspiration and direction of a variety of different cultural imagery and form, I then explored how to make new patterns from each of these, ending up with over 100 different patterns and variations from the original four. The exhibit represents the wide range of transformation that can be achieved, and also the blending of many different cultural influences in my own life, and our society today.
Divide

description: As human beings we have an innate hunger for meaning and, not coincidentally, an interesting ability to assimilate patterns, to recognize working systems. For all our ability to reason and assimilate, however, concrete answers to our questions of meaning and our hunger for understanding are elusive, vague and often lacking. In my work I pursue a two-fold exploration. On the one hand I want to express my fascination with that riddle of the human condition, of our need for meaning and our parallel inability to pinpoint it concretely. On the other hand I am fascinated with the fact that our ability to assimilate and reason is not limited to a weighty existential crisis. We also celebrate that ability when we play: we figure things out for fun, and because we like to. To keep grounded in the spirit of play, I base my forms on the contours of unorthodox jigsaw puzzle pieces. I then incorporate elements of division, scale, topography, surface, arrangement and imagery that highlight the original contour even while they lift it wholly out of its original context. The enigmatic form that results is intended to pose an open-ended question to the viewer concerning the underlying meaning to an implied organization. An immediate formal encounter demonstrates a visual relationship among the parts, a pattern to the surface treatments and an intention with the overall composition. Through that encounter, I want to stimulate in the viewer the desire to seek the source of a visually evident system. By not proffering concrete answers about that source, I intend to encourage the viewer to bring elements from his own experience and perspective, which will play a significant part in any conclusions he may draw. On a broader scale, this work is intended to call to the viewer’s attention the more mysterious aspects of the human experience, aspects in which we can take a measure of joy without necessarily fully understanding them
Oscillator Strength Measurements of Atomic Absorption Lines from Stellar Spectra

description: We develop a new method to determine oscillator strength values of atomic absorption lines with state-of-the-art detailed spectral synthesis calculations of the optical spectrum of the Sun and of standard spectral reference stars. We update the log(gf)-values of 911 neutral lines observed in the KPNO-FTS flux spectrum of the Sun and high-resolution echelle spectra (R=80,000) of Procyon (F5 IV-V) and ε Eri (K2 V) observed with large signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios of ~2,000 using the new Mercator-Hermes spectrograph at La Palma Observatory (Spain). We find for 483 Fe I, 85 Ni I, and 51 Si I absorption lines in the sample a systematic over-estimation of the literature log(gf)-values with central line depths below 15 %. We employ a curve-of-growth analysis technique to test the accuracy of the new oscillator strength values and compare calculated equivalent line widths to the Moore, Minnaert, & Houtgast atlas of the Sun. The online SpectroWeb database at http://spectra.freeshell.org interactively displays the observed and synthetic spectra and provides the new log(gf)-values together with important atomic line data. The graphical database is under development for stellar reference spectra of every spectral sub-class observed with large spectral resolution and S/N ratios.

description: Research on natural products containing benzofuran has remarkably increased during the past few decades. Newly isolated natural products with complex structures are being studied, characterized and screened for possible biological activities. Several of such compounds have exhibited various biological activities, thus their total syntheses have attracted much attention from synthetic organic chemists. In this review, we aim to highlight the origins, structures, biological potencies, and synthetic approaches of those natural products bearing at least one benzofuran in their complex structures. Furthermore, we especially focus on the step in which this key heterocycle is installed during the total synthesis of a natural product as the desired target.

Un esempio di 'decodifica iperbolica'. La ricontestualizzazione narrativa di una scena di simposio greco  nel romanzo Il salto di Saffo di Erica Jong
Creators: name: Larini, Gloria

description: Lo studio sonda l'unica scena di simposio greco presente nel romanzo Il salto di Saffo di Erica Jong. Si intendono scoprire i rapporti tra la resa linguistica dei frammenti saffici e alcaici operata dalla scrittrice ed il testo originale. Si è effettuata una comparazione con metodo linguistico-filologico tra i testi antichi e il romanzo, sondando preliminarmente, attraverso una analisi semantica intratestuale, i riferimenti classici ivi contenuti. Lo studio individua tre principali direzioni di decodifica attivate dalla Jong: riduzioni e/o aggiunte, variazioni linguistiche rispetto ai frammenti greci;  invenzioni storico-biografiche sui personaggi che ne 'mistificano' il senso;  adattamento della storia alle informazioni dei frammenti attraverso una loro lettura inferenziale.  L'articolo 'scopre' una nuova forma di decodifica da testo letterario a testo letterario che ho definito 'iperbolica', con un neologismo che mette in evidenza la complessità del passaggio sincrono, non frequente, dall'antico al moderno e da un genere all'altro, mettendo in evidenza contaminazioni e pastiche di un procedimento non proprio politically correct, sebbene dimostri l'attualità dei temi della letteratura greca antica. AbstractTitle: “An example of ‘hyperbolic decoding’. Reframing the narrative of a greek symposium scene in the Erica Jong’s novel Sappho’s Leap”. The study is about the only greek symposium scene in the Erica Jong’s novel Sappho’s Leap. We intend to explore the relationship between linguistic rendering of greek fragments by the author and the original texts. We compare, through a linguistic-philological method, the ancient greek text and the novel through a semantic analysis intratextual and intertextual. The study identifies three main directions of decoding activated by Jong: linguistic reductions and / or additions in greek fragments; historical and biographical inventions about the characters, that ‘mistify’ the cultural period; adaptation of the story to the information of the fragments through an inferential reading. The article ‘discovers’ a new form of decoding from a literary text to a literary text, that I have called 'hyperbolic', a neologism that highlights the complexity of an infrequent and synchronous switching from ancient to modern, from one literary genre to another. We highlight contaminations and pastiche of a process not just “politically correct”, although demonstrating the relevance of the themes of ancient greek literature.

description: The need for high class public transport service of the increasing travel across the radial urban structure of the greater Copenhagen region was examined through planning of a light rail. The exact corridor (defined as the Ring 21⁄2 corridor) and alignment of the light rail were documented and the locations of stops were examined through analyses of catchment areas. The timetable of the light rail was determined through travel time and correspondences with other high class public transport lines/corridors. The justification of the light rail was examined through factors like traffic impacts, operation economy, socioeconomics and strategic impacts. The light rail shows a good result on most factors. But it displays socioeconomic non-viability. However, this was expected when using the standard procedures. But the Ring 21⁄2 light rail shows a better socioeconomic result than many other examined light rail projects.

description: Magnetotunnelling spectroscopy of resonant tunnelling structures provides information on the nature of the two-dimensional electron gas in the well. We describe a model based on nonequilibrium Green's functions that allows for a comprehensive study of the density of states, tunnelling currents and current spin polarization. The investigated effects include the electron-phonon interaction, interface roughness scattering, Zeeman effect and the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. A qualitative agreement with experimental data is found regarding the satellite peaks. The spin polarization is predicted to be larger than ten percent for magnetic fields above 2 Tesla and having a structure even at the satellite peaks. The Rashba effect is confirmed to be observable as a beating pattern in the density of states but found to be too small to affect the tunnelling current.

description: Artiklen beskriver forskellige gængse metoder til opgørelse af passagerernes forsinkelser i jernbanedrift. Metoderne beskrives startende fra de simpleste 0. generations opgørelsesmetoder for (tog-) og passagerforsinkelser, hvorefter de mere avancerede 1. – 3. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodeller præsenteres. De forskellige metoder til opgørelse af passagerforsinkelser sammenlignes, og de forskellig metoders fordele og ulemper beskrives. Efter præsentation af de forskellige metoder til opgørelse af passagerforsinkelser beskrives det hvordan 1. – 3. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodeller kan kombineres med jernbanesimuleringssoftware således at det ud over opgørelser af forsinkelser i eksisterende køreplaner (og infrastruktur) er muligt at forudsige passagerforsinkelser. Derved er modellerne et nyttigt redskab ved vurdering af robustheden af fremtidige køreplaner, kapacitetsudvidelser, ny infrastruktur samt gener ved sporarbejder og anden vedligehold. For at vurdere forskellene mellem 3. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodeller og tidligere generationer præsenterer artiklen simuleringer af driften på S-banen, og her evalueres både togenes og passagerernes forsinkelser. Resultaterne viser, at der er stor forskel på togregularitet og passagerregularitet – passagererne bliver generelt mere forsinket end togene som følge af uregelmæssigheder i driften. Der er imidlertid stor forskel på om man beregner passagerernes forsinkelser med en 1., 2. eller 3. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodel, da passagererne i 1. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodeller antages at have fuldt kendskab til forsinkelser (også de fremtidige), hvilket ikke er tilfældet for passagerforsinkelsesmodeller af 3. generation. I 2. generationsmodeller antages passagererne at kende sandsynlighederne for forsinkelser, men ikke de konkrete forsinkel- ser. Artiklen konkluderer på baggrund af resultaterne at 3. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodeller giver et mere præcist billede af passagerforsinkelserne end passagerforsinkelsesmodeller af 1. og 2. generation. Og eftersom 3. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodeller ikke er vanskeligere eller mere datatunge tidligere generationer af passagerforsinkelsesmodeller anbefales det at der benyttes de mere præcise 3. generations passagerforsinkelsesmodeller i fremtidige analyser.

description: Til brug ved Banedanmarks arbejde med at tilvejebringe et beslutningsgrundlag med hensyn til fastlæggelse af en strategi inden for signalområdet har TetraPlan for Banedanmark udviklet en benefitmodel, der beregner den samfundsøkonomiske værdi af passagerernes forventede tidsgevinster ved regularitetsforbedringer, eksempelvis opnået ved en indsats på signalområdet. De samfundsøkonomiske gevinster beregnes som værdien af den sparede tid, passagererne oplever som følge af den forbedrede regularitet. Benefitmodellen skal benyttes af Banedanmark i deres løbende behov for at kunne foretage en prioritering mellem forskellige indsatser eller projekter i eksisterende infrastruktur til forbedring af regulariteten for togtrafikken. I denne artikel er der fokuseret på beskrivelse af Benefitmodellens datagrundlag samt de estimerede sammenhænge mellem regularitet og passagerforsinkelser.

Creating and Evaluating Teacher Training Modules in Applied Behavior Analysis
Creators: name: Navarrete, Summer Lynn
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: The use of applied behavior analysis (ABA) in the treatment of young children with autism has been shown to be effective in increasing their developmental trajectory. Many teachers, however, are unfamiliar with these teaching techniques. In training individuals to implement ABA interventions, didactic training should be paired with activities such as supervised practice and immediate feedback. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness in the use of computerized training modules to teach specific information related to implement ABA programming with children with disabilities.
Density-Dependent Analysis of Nonequilibrium Paths Improves Free Energy Estimates II. A Feynman-Kac Formalism

description: The nonequilibrium fluctuation theorems have paved the way for estimating equilibrium thermodynamic properties, such as free energy differences, using trajectories from driven nonequilibrium processes. While many statistical estimators may be derived from these identities, some are more efficient than others. It has recently been suggested that trajectories sampled using a particular time-dependent protocol for perturbing the Hamiltonian may be analyzed with another one. Choosing an analysis protocol based on the nonequilibrium density was empirically demonstrated to reduce the variance and bias of free energy estimates. Here, we present an alternate mathematical formalism for protocol postprocessing based on the Feynmac-Kac theorem. The estimator that results from this formalism is demonstrated on a few low-dimensional model systems. It is found to have reduced bias compared to both the standard form of Jarzynski's equality and the previous protocol postprocessing formalism.

description: We performed a large spectroscopic survey of compact, unresolved objects in the core of the Hydra I galaxy cluster (Abell 1060), with the aim of identifying ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), and investigating the properties of the globular cluster (GC) system around the central cD galaxy NGC 3311. We obtained VIMOS medium resolution spectra of about 1200 candidate objects with apparent magnitudes 18.5 < V < 24.0 mag, covering both the bright end of the GC luminosity function and the luminosity range of all known UCDs. By means of spectroscopic redshift measurements, we identified 118 cluster members, from which 52 are brighter than M_V = -11.0 mag, and can therefore be termed UCDs. The brightest UCD in our sample has an absolute magnitude of M_V = -13.4 mag (corresponding to a mass of > 5 x 10^7 M_sun) and a half-light radius of 25 pc. This places it among the brightest and most massive UCDs ever discovered. Most of the GCs/UCDs are both spatially and dynamically associated to the central cD galaxy. The overall velocity dispersion of the GCs/UCDs is comparable to what is found for the cluster galaxies. However, when splitting the sample into a bright and a faint part, we observe a lower velocity dispersion for the bright UCDs/GCs than for the fainter objects. At a dividing magnitude of M_V = -10.75 mag, the dispersions differ by more than 200 km/s, and up to 300 km/s for objects within 5 arcmin around NGC 3311. We interpret these results in the context of different UCD formation channels, and conclude that interaction driven formation seems to play an important role in the centre of Hydra I.

The role of Activin B and TGFb1 in regulating endometrial cancer cell adhesion and migration
Creators: name: Xiong, Siyuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common female cancer and the most common gynecological malignancy. Although it comprises only ~10% of all endometrial cancers, the serous histological subtype accounts for ~40% of deaths due to its aggressive behavior and propensity to metastasize. Moreover, the number of endometrial cancer related deaths keeps rising, which can be attributed to the increased incidence of advanced-stage tumor and high risk histologies. Histopathological studies suggest that in non-endometrioid endometrial cancers (type II, mostly serous), elevated expression of activin/inhibin βB subunit is associated with reduced survival and TGFβ signalings are closely associated with the neoplastic transformation of human endometrium and the initiation of invasion of endometrial cancer. However, little is known about the specific roles and mechanisms of activin B (βB dimer) and TGFβ1 in type II endometrial cancer cell progression. We hypothesized that integrin αvβ3, E-cadherin, and PTEN play critical roles in activin B or TGFβ1 induced endometria cancer cell adhesion or migration. Type II endometrial cancer cell lines KLE, HEC-1B and HEC-50 were used as study models. Cancer cell adhesion was assessed by extracellular matrix coated 96 well adhesion assays. Cancer cell migration or invasiveness was assessed by transwell assays without or with coated matrigel following exposure to recombinant human activin B or TGFβ1. Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown or vector-mediated overexpression approaches were used to investigate the molecular determinants of activin B or TGFβ1-mediated functions. In summary, our results demonstrate that SMAD-mediated integrin β3 up-regulation by activin B promotes type II endometrial cancer cell adhesion and migration while ERK1/2-SNAIL-mediated E-cadherin down-regulation by activin B plays important roles in cancer migration. Moreover, TGFβ1 induces type II endometrial cancer cell migration via ERK1/2 mediated-up-regulation of integrin αvβ3. TGFβ1 also promotes cancer cell migration by down-regulating PTEN via both SMAD-dependent and independent pathways. Our findings provide important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of activin and TGFβ on endometrial cancer cell migration and suggest novel therapeutic targets for treating type II endometrial cancer.
Modeling Phloem Temperatures Relative to Mountain Pine Beetle Phenology
Creators: name: Lewis, Matthew Jared
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: We explore a variety of methods to estimate phloem temperatures from ambient air temperatures suitable for the mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae. A model's ability to induce the same phenology generated from observed phloem temperatures measures its effectiveness rather than a simple reconstruction of phloem temperatures. From a model's phenology results we are able to ascertain whether the model produces a similar amount of developmental energy exhibited by observed phloem temperatures.
Three models performed best: Newton, Newton South and Matching. The Newton model uses Newton's Law of Cooling to effectively estimate northern aspect phloem temperatures. The Newton South model also employs Newton's Law of Cooling but has an additional error parameter used to predict southern aspect phloem temperatures. The Matching model uses a "reverse boot-strapping" method that matches ambient extremes to an archive of air and corresponding phloem temperatures. The archived phloem temperatures that fit best, based on how closely the air extrema match, are successfully used as predicted temperatures. Phenology generated from these models is shown to effectively mimic the phenology produced from observed phloem temperatures in a variety of geographically distinct areas.
