description: Higher order curvature gravity has recently received a lot of attention due to the fact that it gives rise to cosmological models which seem capable of solving dark energy and quintessence issues without using "ad hoc" scalar fields. In this letter, a gravitational potential is obtained which differs from the Newtonian one because of a repulsive correction increasing with distance. We evaluate the rotation curve of our Galaxy and compare it with the observed data in order both to test the viability of these theories and to estimate the scalelength of the correction. It is remarkable that the Milky Way rotation curve is well fitted without the need of any dark matter halo and a similar result tentatively holds also for other galaxies.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A brief review on some recent progresses in our understanding of multi-quark components in baryons is presented. The multi-quark components in baryons seem to be mainly in colored quark cluster configurations rather than in ``meson cloud'' configurations or in the form of a sea of quark-antiquark pairs. The colored quark cluster multi-quark picture gives a natural explanation of empirical indications for a positive strangeness magnetic moment $μ_s$ of the proton and the longstanding mass-reverse problem of S11(1535) and $P11(1440) N* resonances. A model-prediction for the $μ_s$ of the proton is given.

On the propensity of Asn-Gly-containing heptapeptides to form $β$-turn structures : comparison between ab initio quantum mechanical calculations and Molecular Dynamics simulations

description: Both molecular mechanical and quantum mechanical calculations play an important role in describing the behavior and structure of molecules. In this work, we compare for the same peptide systems the results obtained from folding molecular dynamics simulations with previously reported results from quantum mechanical calculations. More specifically, three molecular dynamics simulations of 5 $μ$s each in explicit water solvent were carried out for three Asn-Gly-containing heptapeptides, in order to study their folding and dynamics. Previous data, based on quantum mechanical calculations and the DFT methods have shown that these peptides adopt $β$-turn structures in aqueous solution, with type I' $β$-turn being the most preferred motif. The results from our analyses indicate that for the given system the two methods diverge in their predictions. The possibility of a force field-dependent deficiency is examined as a possible source of the observed discrepancy.

description: Identifying quantum numbers to label elementary excitations is essential for the correct description of light-matter interaction in solids. In monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoSe$_2$ or WSe$_2$, most optoelectronic phenomena are described well by labelling electron and hole states with the spin projection along the normal to the layer (S$_z$). In contrast, for WSe$_2$/MoSe$_2$ interfaces recent experiments show that taking S$_z$ as quantum number is not a good approximation, and spin mixing needs to be always considered. Here we argue that the correct quantum number for these systems is not S$_z$, but the $z$-component of the total angular momentum -- J$_z$ = L$_z$ + S$_z$ -- associated to the C$_3$ rotational lattice symmetry, which assumes half-integer values corresponding modulo 3 to distinct states. We validate this conclusion experimentally through the observation of strong intervalley scattering mediated by chiral optical phonons that -- despite carrying angular momentum 1 -- cause resonant intervalley transitions of excitons, with an angular momentum difference of 2.

description: What resources are available to the new entrepreneur? How do I know if my business idea is a good idea? What are the tax advantages of starting your own business? My research answers each of these questions in addition to many other questions the new entrepreneur might have. Part of my research insights were gained by experiential learning: I took a business idea of my own and took it through several key processes such as business idea generation, business model creation, market research, and advertising. I sought to learn more about the resources available to the new entrepreneur. In addition to the experiential process, l conducted traditional research by reviewing articles, research journals, books, and other materials that can help the new entrepreneur. In summary, it is extremely easy for the new entrepreneur to develop a business idea, conduct surveys, engage with customers, create a website, advertise online, and reap numerous tax advantages. Such tax advantages include increased deductions to income and tax-free income payments to the taxpayer's children for their help in business operations.

description: We investigate a mesoscopic spin current for strongly interacting Fermi gases through a quantum point contact. Under the situation where spin polarizations in left and right reservoirs are same in magnitude but opposite in sign, we calculate the contribution of quasiparticles to the current by means of the linear response theory and many-body $T$-matrix approximation. For a small spin-bias regime, the current in the vicinity of the superfluid transition temperature is strongly suppressed due to the formation of pseudogaps. For a large spin-bias regime where the gases become highly polarized, on the other hand, the current is affected by the enhancement of a minority density of states due to Fermi polarons. We also discuss the broadening of a quasiparticle peak associated with an attractive polaron at a large momentum, which is relevant to the enhancement.

XHAB Microgravity Food Growth Chamber
Creators: name: Stacey, Nathan I.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: NASA and other organizations are preparing to send humans deeper into space, including a NASA manned mission to Mars in the 2030s, in order to learn more about our universe and the origin of life and to ensure the survival of the human race. Long journeys in space require efficient, dependable, and sustainable methods to provide for astronauts' metabolic needs such as oxygen, water, and food. In order for microgravity plant growth chambers to become a viable solution, several challenges encountered by past growth chambers must be resolved.
One problem with existing space food growth chambers is hypoxia, or lack of oxygen, in the root zone, which decreases growth and causes epinasty and leaf chlorosis. Plant leaves produce oxygen and consume carbon dioxide through photosynthesis while roots consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide through root respiration. Consequently, there are high levels of oxygen near the leaves and high levels of carbon dioxide near the roots.
In microgravity, surface tension forces dominate. Instead of filling the pores from the bottom up, water tends to collect on the surface of the soil pores and trap air bubbles from which roots remove oxygen. Oxygen from the plant atmosphere is slow to diffuse into the water-trapped bubbles and the water doesn't naturally drain from the pores without gravity. These factors prevent oxygen near the leaves from quickly diffusing to the roots and carbon dioxide and ethylene near the roots from diffusing out of the substrate. A method is needed to enable continuous quick gas diffusion between the leaf chamber and the root zone in space food growth chambers.
Our project was to assess whether an additively manufactured lattice plant substrate composed of nylon facilitates gas diffusion between the leaf chamber and the root zone in a passively watered hydroponic space food growth chamber. In space, water collects on the sides of tubes first, leaving a column of air in the middle. We designed a substrate so that in space the columns would have the optimal balance of water and air for the plant roots. In order to test out design on Earth, we created a plant substrate lattice that has columns of various diameters. Water is then drawn upward at varying heights depending on the diameter of the substrate column. This creates spaces of water and air for the plant roots. We found the optimal column diameters through analytic calculations, simulations in the program HYDRUS, and experimental testing.
We designed and built a complete microgravity food growth chamber and tested our substrate in it. Our growth chamber is passively watered. As plants absorb water from the substrate, the pressure difference causes water from the reservoir to naturally diffuse into the root zone. We planted mizuna in the substrate and it successfully grew for 30 days. We plan to continue experimental testing over the summer in order to further improve our substrate design.
Qualities That Influence Guardian Ad Litem Effectiveness

description: The use of Guardians ad Litem (GALs) in child abuse and neglect cases has become increasingly common throughout the world. It has, in fact, become standard procedure in child welfare proceedings in the United States. GALs are charged with presenting children's best interests in court and ensuring that each child has a voice in the process. Ideally, GALs are consistently effective in doing so. However, GALs have extremely high caseloads that potentially limit the time they can spend with their children. In addition, little research has been done on what qualities make an effective GAL. Knowing what qualities increase GAL effectiveness is of paramount importance because these attorneys are charged with representing disadvantaged children who otherwise may not get a voice in their fate. This pilot study involved conducting semi-structured interviews with youths aged 15-18 who are currently in foster care in Utah, or who have recently aged out, or who have been reunified with their parents in the past two years since living in foster care. These interviews were directed at their experience with GALs in court in order to gauge what makes or would make the court process the least stressful and most conducive to achieving the child's best interests.

description: Metasurfaces is an emerging field that enables the manipulation of light by an ultra-thin structure composed of sub-wavelength antennae and fulfills an important requirement for miniaturized optical elements. Finding a new design for a metasurface or optimizing an existing design for a desired functionality is a computationally expensive and time consuming process as it is based on an iterative process of trial and error. We propose a deep learning (DL) architecture dubbed bidirectional autoencoder for nanophotonic metasurface design via a template search methodology. In contrast with the earlier approaches based on DL, our methodology addresses optimization in the space of multiple metasurface topologies instead of just one, in order to tackle the one to many mapping problem of inverse design. We demonstrate the creation of a Geometry and Parameter Space Library (GPSL) of metasurface designs with their corresponding optical response using our DL model. This GPSL acts as a universal design and response space for the optimization. As an example application, we use our methodology to design a multi-band gap-plasmon based half-wave plate metasurface. Through this example, we demonstrate the power of our technique in addressing the non-uniqueness problem of common inverse design. Our network converges aptly to multiple metasurface topologies for the desired optical response with a low mean absolute error between desired optical response and the optical response of topologies searched. Our proposed technique would enable fast and accurate design and optimization of various kinds of metasurfaces with different functionalities.

Chapter 4 discusses a possible spectrochemical series 95Mo of ligands based on the Mo NMR parameters of complexes. Chapter 5 deals with the use of 15N NMR spectroscopy to probe the structure of nitrogenous ligands which show some form of structural isomerism. Chapter 6 is a compilation of data obtained by NMR spectroscopy on protonation reactions involving dinitrogen and hydrazido(2-)-complexes, with some possible interpretations. Chapter 7 mentions initial enzyme studies by 95Mo NMR spectroscopy and concludes with some general comments and suggestions for the direction of future work.
Developing an Optimized Light Spectrum for Plant Growth and Development

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a rapidly developing technology for plant growth lighting and have become a powerful tool for understanding the spectral effects of light on plants. Several studies have shown that some blue light is necessary for normal growth and development, but the effects of blue light appear to be species dependent and may interact with other wavelengths of light as well as photosynthetic photon flux (PPF). Here we report the photobiological effects of three types of white LEDs (warm, neutral and cool) on the growth and development of radish, soybean, and wheat. All species were grown at two PPFs (200 and 500 μmol m-2 s-1) under each LED type, which facilitated testing the effect of absolute (μmol photons m-2 s-1) and relative (percent of total PPF) blue light on plant development. Root and shoot environmental conditions other than light quality were uniformly maintained among six chambers (three lamp types x two PPFs). All LEDs had similar phytochrome photoequilibria and red:far red ratios. Blue light did not affect total dry weight (DW) in any species, but significantly altered plant development. Overall, the low blue light from warm white LEDs increased stem elongation and leaf expansion while the high blue light from cool white LEDs resulted in more compact plants. For radish and soybean, absolute blue light was a better predictor of stem elongation than relative blue light, but relative blue light better predicted leaf area. Absolute blue light better predicted the percent leaf OW in radish and soybean and percent tiller OW in wheat. The largest percentage differences among light sources occurred in low light (200 μmol m-2 s-1) . These results confirm and extend the results of other studies indicating that light quantity and quality interact to determine plant morphology. The optimal amount of blue light likely changes with plant age as plant communities balance the need for rapid leaf expansion, which is necessary to maximize radiation capture, with prevention of excessive stem elongation. A thorough understanding of this interaction is essential to the development of light sources for optimal plant growth and development.

description: Egyptian mythology is full of legend and mystery. Ra, the Chief God of Ancient Egypt, used a mysterious canoe, named Meseket, to cross the underworld at night (Ions, 1983). Our fabricated legend begins with Aken, Ra's loyal ferryman. When Aken accidentally broke the canoe Meseket, he was left without a vessel to ferry Ra. Without proper materials to fashion another wooden boat, he asked Anubis, the god of embalming for assistance. Together they built a new canoe out of concrete using raw materials from the Egyptian landscape. The 2013 Utah State University Concrete Canoe Team has endeavored to recreate this concrete canoe of legend.

description: In this paper, we study the properties of a nonlinearly dispersive integrable system of fifth order and its associated hierarchy. We describe a Lax representation for such a system which leads to two infinite series of conserved charges and two hierarchies of equations that share the same conserved charges. We construct two compatible Hamiltonian structures as well as their Casimir functionals. One of the structures has a single Casimir functional while the other has two. This allows us to extend the flows into negative order and clarifies the meaning of two different hierarchies of positive flows. We study the behavior of these systems under a hodograph transformation and show that they are related to the Kaup-Kupershmidt and the Sawada-Kotera equations under appropriate Miura transformations. We also discuss briefly some properties associated with the generalization of second, third and fourth order Lax operators.

description: Guerrilla warfare is an ancient style of armed conflict that continues to be practiced throughout the world to the present day (Guevara, "A Method" 266, Tzu 168, Taber 149-150), and many countries and peoples have either taken part in guerrilla warfare or have sought to counteract irregular war with counterinsurgency methods, for example the United States (Anderson, Guerrillas xi ; West xiii; Guevara, G. Warfare 18; O'Neill vii-xi). 1 Guerrilla warfare heavily impacts every aspect of society, ranging from the family unit to foreign policy decision-making. Only through properly understanding the motivations, strategies and nature of guerrilla warfare will we be equipped to progress in terms of the social, political and economic aspects of society that guerrilla warfare activities influence (Taber 16).

description: We calculate the frequency dispersion of the third cumulant of current in diffusive-metal contacts. The cumulant exhibits a dispersion at the inverse time of diffusion across the contact, which is typically much smaller than the inverse $RC$ time. This dispersion is much more pronounced in the case of strong electron-electron scattering than in the case of purely elastic scattering because of a different symmetry of the relevant second-order correlation functions.

description: Binary systems are very common among field stars. While this relatively small number of planets in binaries is probably partly due to strong observational biases, there is, however, statistical evidence that planets are indeed less frequent in binaries with separations smaller than 100 au, strongly suggesting that the presence of a close in companion star has an adverse effect on planet formation. It is indeed possible for the gravitational pull of the second star to affect all the different stages of planet formation, from proto-planetary disk formation to dust accumulation into planetesimals, to the accretion of these planetesimals into large planetary embryos and, eventually, the final growth of these embryos into planets. For the crucial planetesimal accretion phase, the complex coupling between dynamical perturbations from the binary and friction due to gas in the protoplanetary disk suggests that planetesimal accretion might be hampered due to increased, accretion hostile impact velocities. Likewise, the interplay between the binary secular perturbations and mean motion resonances lead to unstable regions, where not only planet formation is inhibited, but where a massive body would be ejected from the system on a hyperbolic orbit. The amplitude of these two main effects is different for S and P type planets, so that a comparison between the two populations might outline the influence of the companion star on the planet formation process. Unfortunately, at present the two populations (circumstellar or circumbinary) are not known equally well and different biases and uncertainties prevent a quantitative comparison. We also highlight the long term dynamical evolution of both S and P type systems and focus on how these different evolutions influence the final architecture of planetary systems in binaries.

description: 1. The thymus and bursa of Fabricius are important immune organs in poultry as they play essential roles in sustaining the normal immune function to maintain health. The following trial investigated whether the stocking density affected gene expressions in immune organs. 2. Jinding ducklings were raised in either low or high density (4 or 8 birds/m2) conditions from four to 14 weeks of age, and were then slaughtered and tissues removed. Samples were subjected to high-throughput sequencing to sequence RNA extraction. After filtering calculations with R software, a total of 508 (thymus) and 1,356 (bursa of Fabricius) differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, suggesting that stocking density has an effect on gene expression in duck immune organs. 3. Out of a total of 112 immune factor genes and 112 immune pattern receptor genes in ducks, four thymus and 18 bursa of Fabricius genes were differentially expressed in ducks, which indicated that the change of stocking density could affect the expression of immune genes in poultry.

description: We study the spreading of viscous drops on a solid substrate, taking into account the effects of thermal fluctuations in the fluid momentum. A nonlinear stochastic lubrication equation is derived, and studied using numerical simulations and scaling analysis. We show that asymptotically spreading drops admit self-similar shapes, whose average radii can increase at rates much faster than these predicted by Tanner's law. We discuss the physical realizability of our results for thin molecular and complex fluid films, and predict that such phenomenon can in principal be observed in various flow geometries.

An Energy-stable Finite Element Method for the Simulation of Moving Contact Lines in Two-phase Flows

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: We consider the dynamics of two-phase fluids, in particular the moving contact line, on a solid substrate. The dynamics are governed by the sharp-interface model consisting of the incompressible Navier-Stokes\slash Stokes equations with the classical interface conditions, the Navier boundary condition for the slip velocity along the wall and a contact line condition which relates the dynamic contact angle of the interface to the contact line velocity. We propose an efficient numerical method for the model. The method combines a finite element method for the Navier-Stokes/Stokes equations on a moving mesh with a parametric finite element method for the dynamics of the fluid interface. The contact line condition is formulated as a time-dependent Robin-type of boundary condition for the interface so it is naturally imposed in the weak form of the contact line model. For the Navier-Stokes equations, the numerical scheme obeys a similar energy law as in the continuum model but up to an error due to the interpolation of numerical solutions on the moving mesh. In contrast, for Stokes flows, the interpolation is not needed so we can prove the global unconditional stability of the numerical method in terms of the energy. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the convergence and accuracy of the numerical methods.

description: This is the first of two papers in which we study real and virtual photon-proton scattering in a nonperturbative framework. We classify different contributions to this process and identify the leading contributions at high energies. We then study the renormalisation of the photon-quark-antiquark vertex that occurs in the leading contributions. We find something like the dipole picture in one of these contributions but also find two correction terms which can potentially become large at small photon virtualities. In the second paper we will discuss the additional approximations and assumptions that are necessary to obtain the dipole model of high energy scattering from the results found here.

Biodiversity Prioritization: A Comparison of Data Types
Creators: name: Norman, Kari
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The identification of important areas for biodiversity is essential for effective allocation of limited conservation resources. Prioritizing regions for conservation based on biodiversity is typically done using global biodiversity maps created using range map data for one or more taxa. While the use of range maps makes pragmatic sense since large-scale survey data is rarely available, it is important to understand the sensitivity of the results to the use of range map data. We studied how prioritizations may change between data types using the North American Breeding Bird survey (BBS) and BirdLife International range maps as a comparison case study. Diversity maps were generated using the North American Breeding Bird survey data for both total species richness and the richness of rare species. Rarity was defined as species present at less than the median number of sites. To account for spatial sampling bias in the location of BBS routes, maps were created based on a subsampling of sites within 100 square kilometer grid cells. For comparison, similar maps were generated using range maps for equivalent species.
Analyses of the Breeding Bird Survey data and range map data show that for species richness there is only 12%-15% overlap in hotspots at different scales. Hotspots for rare species have 56%-57% overlap. Multiple regions, such as the southern and eastern states have high biodiversity for one data type and low biodiversity for another. Maps for rare species are generally more congruent, with hotspot concentrations along the southern border of the United States. Biodiversity patterns for species richness vary greatly between data types.

description: In the lumbar region of the spine, the spinal cord travels through a small hole in your vertebrae called the spinal canal. There is a medical condition where the spinal canal becomes restricted. This condition is called stenosis. There are several reasons for this pinching of the spinal column. These include the growth of bone spurs, the accumulation of ligaments in the canal, or a genetic trait. When these occur in the lower five vertebrae (the lumbar region), it is called lumbar stenosis. The symptoms of Lumbar Stenosis are shooting pain through the legs, especially during activity, and feelings of weakness or numbness in the lower back.
Generalized System of Preferences and Graduation: Is there a Parallel with Infant Industries?

description: The generalized system of preferences (GSP) is an accepted part of trade and development policy. Their rational and expected outcome are strikingly similar to those associated with the promotion of infant industries through the imposition of tariffs. One common thread in both GSP and infant industry arguments is that the benefits offered should only be temporary – until the affected industries become internationally competitive. For GSPs the temporary nature of the protection is institutionalized in the idea of graduation. In the case of infant industries, it is observed that they never grow up – they do not become internationally competitive – and they often can successfully lobby to retain their protection. This is not the case with GSP graduation, but there is no reason to be optimistic that firms receiving GSP benefits will have become internationally competitive. Thus, they may face similar adjustment costs to those that are deemed unacceptable in the case of firms protected under the auspices of infant industry policy. This asymmetry suggests a further examination of GSP schemes, and graduation in particular, is warranted.
