Note. Evans and Smith (2009: 273) mention Plectris flavohirta for Guyana, but not for the type locality French Guiana. We consider their “ Guyana ” a misinterpretation of the location “ Guyane: La Mana,” as mentioned in the original description by Blanchard (1851: 129). (The) Mana is both a river and a municipality in French Guiana, while there is no location with that name in Guyana. We are not aware of any records outside of French Guiana.

Relationship of creativity factors to performance of students in psychiatric nursing
Creators: name: Sharp, Annetta Clark
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Creative ability in medicine

description: Creativity, or to create, is a term that is familiar in nursing literature, yet little attempt is made to define creativity as it exists or should exist in nursing, or exactly how it applies to nursing situations. The nursing literature reviewed showed little evidence of creativity factors being identified or correlated to any components in nursing. The values that come from developing creative abilities within individuals are assumed to be numerous.  In disregarding the creative potential of student nurses, a valuable asset to the nursing profession and to the individual may be lost. Though much emphasis is currently being placed on interpersonal relations, little mention is made of the place creativity may have in building relationships and in planning and executing nursing functions.  The present study was designed to see if a relationship could be demonstrated to exist between creativity and nursing functions in psychiatric care. Six creativity tests selected by the investigator as having some implications for nursing performance were chosen. These tests were given to forty nursing students from the University of Utah and the Brigham Young University who had completed their psychiatric education. The total score on the creativity tests was then correlated with the instructors' ranking of the students according to their performance in the clinical area of psychiatric nursing, and correlated to their clinical scores attained on the NLN examination. After the data was collected, Rho correlations were computed between the creativity tests and the NLN scores and instructors' rankings. A Pearson Product-Moment correlation was computed between the NLN clinical scores and the creativity test scores.  The statistical analysis was carried out in order to test the hypotheses: (1) there will be a positive correlation with creativity test scores and performance of the nursing students in the psychiatric clinical area; (2) there will be a positive correlation with the NLN examination and the instructor's ranking.  From the data collected the following conclusion was drawn:  The hypotheses were rejected for there were no significant correlations between creativity test scores and performance of nursing students and NLN examination scores and instructors' ranking.

Interactions of T-box genes in the zebrafish mesoderm: Tbx6 and No Tail
Creators: name: Hug, Barbara
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Genetics
subject: FOS: Biological sciences
subject: Gene Expression

description: The T-box genes encode a family of transcription factors important for tissue differentiation and morphogenesis. Like the Hox genes, T-box genes are often expressed in overlapping patterns within developmental precursor populations. T-box gene mutations often affect only a subset of the cells that normally express the genes. I propose that, similar to the Hox genes, the co-expression of T-box genes allows for genetic interactions that may alter a T-box gene's effect within a portion of its expression domain. Support of this hypothesis comes from the analysis of interactions between no tail and tbx6, T-box genes that are co-expressed in the ventral mesoderm. These experiments are presented in this thesis. Three T-box genes are expressed in a nested array in the mesoderm of the zebrafish early gastrula. Their combined expression defines two domains of mesoderm with distinct developmental fates. no tail, tbx6 and spadetail are expressed in ventral mesoderm precursors that give rise to nonaxial tissues; no tail is the only known T-box gene expressed in the dorsal mesoderm precursors that give rise to notochord, an axial structure. During gastrulation, no tail expression is extinguished in the involuting ventral mesoderm but is maintained in the presumptive notochord in a manner that depends on continuous wildtype no tail function. I tested whether tbx6 might be responsible for inhibiting no tail function in the ventral mesoderm, leading to its expression being down-regulated in these cells. I found that one function of tbx6 appears to be to antagonize the function and potentially the expression of no tail in this cell population. Ectopic expression of tbx6 appears to mimic the effects of no tail loss of function mutations or ectopic expression of a known No Tail antagonist, a No Tail-Engrailed repressor chimera in several different assays. Ectopic expression of tbx6causes a deficit in notochord formation by 24 hours of development and suppresses MyoD expression in paraxial mesoderm. Both of these have been shown to be dependent on functional No Tail protein. Expression of a repressor form of the Tbx6 protein, a Thx6-Engrailed chimera, has similar effects on no tail function. In vitro binding studies and studies of competition between Tbx6 and No Tail indicate that the Tbx6 protein can compete with No Tail binding at specific sites and that Tbx6 fails to activate transcription at many of these sites. Importantly, I was able to show that Tbx6 and No Tail have different specificities for certain arrangements of binding site, opening the possibility that Tbx6 does more than simply antagonize No Tail. Theses studies clearly indicate that the prevailing view of T-domain transcription factors as simple activation factors needs to be rethought. Coexpression of T-box genes can potentially lead to complex interactions that control tissue differentiation.

description: L’opera scientifica di Emilio Betti è un ottimo stimolo per riconsiderare il cammino della scienza civilistica italiana e confrontarlo con le contemporanee esperienze dei Paesi vicini in funzione dello sviluppo della cultura giuridica. Proprio la formula della ‘funzione sociale’ rappresenta in questo senso uno spunto particolarmente importante con riguardo, per esempio, alla difficile costruzione di un codice europeo delle obbligazioni e dei contratti.
Il tema della funzione sociale richiama però anche la nostra (interna) prospettiva costituzionale. Nell’attuale momento storico, appare oggi importante tornare a considerare il disegno della Carta costituzionale e verificare ciò che sinora è stato realizzato (in maniera più o meno soddisfacente) e ciò che rimane sicuramente da fare.

description: Good soil aggregate stability and soil enzyme activity are strictly necessary for the proliferation of plants growth and soil resistance against erosion. In this study, the goal was to investigate the effect of different cover crops on the soil aggregate stability and soil phosphatase and their relationship. A laboratory pot experiment was established in which four cover crops were grown (Secale cereale L., Fagopyrum esculentum L., Brassica napus L. and Hordeum vulgare L.) for 33 days in sandy loam soil. Afterwards, the above-ground biomass was cut and incorporated in equal quantities (0.2 g C kg–1 of soil or 176 kg C ha–1) in the same soil and incubated for 30 days. The soil aggregate stability increased significantly with barley before harvesting and rye at day 30 after cover crop residues incorporation. The cover crop plant growth did not influence the soil acid phosphatase activity (APA) before biomass harvesting. Instead, the cover crop residues increased the soil APA only for a short period. The negative correlation between soil aggregate stability and APA can be explained by the variability in soil moisture. While the low cover crop residue quantity might have not been sufficient to increase and maintain the microbial activity.

title: Two problems in graph theory
Creators: name: Kučera, Stanislav
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2019

description: In the thesis we study two topics in graph theory. The first one is concerned with the famous conjecture of Hadwiger that every graph G without a minor of a complete graph on t +1 vertices can be coloured with t colours. We investigate how large an induced subgraph of G can be, so that the subgraph can be coloured with t colours. We show that G admits a t-colourable induced subgraph on more than half of its vertices. Moreover, if such graph G on n vertices does not contain any triangle, we show it admits a t-colourable induced subgraph on at least 4n=5 vertices and show even better bounds for graphs with larger odd girth. The second topic is a variant of a well-known two player Maker-Breaker connectivity game in which players take turns choosing an edge in each step in order to achieve their respective goals. While a complete characterisation is known for the connectivity game in which both players choose a single edge, much less is known in all other cases. We study the variant in which both players choose two edges, or more generally, the variant in which the first player decides whether both players choose one or two edges in the next round.

Prevalence of the female athlete triad in adolescent athletes

Subjects: Eating disorders

description: The Female Athlete Triad (Triad) is a syndrome comprised of three interrelated  conditions - disordered eating, menstrual irregularities, and compromised bone health.  Understanding how, and to what extent, this syndrome affects adolescent athletes may  help develop intervention programs to mitigate the frequency among female athletes and  lessen the health impacts of the Triad later in life.  Female adolescent athletes, 13-19 years old, were recruited through high school  sport teams, camps, and athletic training facilities, to participate in a secure, confidential  online survey. A partly self-developed questionnaire addressed the history and current  status of menstrual function, weight, injuries, eating habits, sport participation, and  training load. The Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) and Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale  were included to assess disordered eating and stressful situations respectively. Athletes  were categorized based on sport type (aesthetic, endurance, team, other) to determine  whether observance of Triad components differed among sport groups.  Of the 79 athletes who completed the survey, 22.7% met the criteria for  disordered eating, categorized by at least one of the following: previous diagnosis of an  eating disorder, elevated EDI body dissatisfaction or drive for thinness subscale scores,  use of laxatives, diet pills, or purging to control weight. Menstrual dysfunction,  oligo/amenorrhea, was stated by 53.8% of athletes and 23.9% reported a sport-related  bone injury. Two Triad components were observed in 5.7-15.2% of athletes and three components existed in 3.8%. Age at menarche, number of lifetime menstrual cycles,  Body Mass Index (BMI), EDI subscale scores, and overall Triad prevalence were not  significantly related to sport group. Triad risk was influenced by expression of body  weight dissatisfaction, stress related to body shape and sport performance, and additional  exercise beyond training for sport. In conclusion, focusing Triad prevention programs  toward adolescents as well as parents, coaches, and athletic trainers and addressing issues  related to stress, self-esteem, and body image may help reduce Triad prevalence in later  years.

description: Musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue and other problems associated with the use of traditional, hand-rim wheelchairs have been documented in several studies. In response to these problems students in the Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Utah  have created three alternative propulsion wheelchair prototypes. The three designs are the hand-lever, track-ball, and four-bar design. These wheelchair prototypes were designed to reduce injuries and fatigue, while maintaining safe, ergonomic function. This study tested and compared these prototypes, as well as a traditional hand-rim wheelchair. Each wheelchair propulsion system was evaluated using a wide spectrum of tests. This allowed the evaluation of each system's strengths and weaknesses. These tests included metabolic evaluation, maneuverability, usability and biomechanical modeling. The metabolic testing revealed that the upper body propulsion systems had lower energy demands than the lower body propulsion systems. Maneuverability testing found that the arm lever and hand-rim systems were the two systems which were most maneuverable. Biomechanical modeling noted that the hand-lever had lower force requirements and lowest joint moments than the hand-rim design and the four-bar had lower force requirements and lower joint moments than the trackball.

description: This study investigated the diagnostic and clinical utility of the parent-rated Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED-P) for detecting youth anxiety disorders. Youth ages 6 to 12 years, 11 months were recruited from 9 outpatient mental health clinics (N = 707). Consensus diagnoses were based on semistructured interviews (Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children) with youth and caregivers; 31% were diagnosed with at least one anxiety disorder. Caregivers completed the SCARED-P to describe youth anxiety levels. SCARED-P scores were not considered during the consensus diagnoses. Areas under the curve (AUCs) from receiver operating characteristic analyses and diagnostic likelihood ratios (DLRs) quantified performance of the SCARED-P total score and subscale scores (generalized anxiety disorder and separation anxiety disorder). SCARED-P total scores had variable efficiency (AUCs = .69-.88), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Separation Anxiety subscale scores were excellent (AUCs = .86-.89) for identifying specific anxiety disorders. Optimal subscale cutoff scores were computed to help rule in (DLRs = 2.7-5.4) or rule out (DLRs < 1.0) anxiety disorders among youth. Results suggest that the Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Separation Anxiety SCARED-P subscales accurately identify their respective matched diagnoses. DLRs may aid clinicians in screening for youth anxiety disorders and improve accuracy of diagnosis.

description: Carbenes are challenging molecular species for quantum chemistry because of the energetic proximity of their singlet and triplet spin states and the sensitive dependence of spin-state energetics on the geometry of the carbene site. Here we use an extended set of aryl-carbenes to evaluate the performance of density functional theory (DFT) approximations as well as of wave function based perturbation theory approaches (orbital-optimised perturbation theory methods OO-MP2 and OO-SCS-MP2) against reference coupled cluster calculations with singles, doubles and perturbative triples conducted with the aid of the domain-based local pair natural orbitals approach, DLPNO-CCSD(T). In addition to the expected functional dependence, our results document a remarkable discordance in the performance of DFT methods in the sense that the functionals that yield the best geometries do not coincide with those that provide the best spin-state energetics. Analysis of the results allows us to propose a series of methods that are expected to perform reliably within certain confidence limits for the title systems. Additionally, methodological issues regarding the reference singlet–triplet gaps obtained by the DLPNO-CCSD(T) approach are discussed.
Development of Bioinformatic Tools and Epigenetic Approaches for the Study of Schmidtea Mediterranea
Creators: name: Robb, Sofia Maria Christina
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Schmidtea mediterranea is being established as a standard model system for studying regeneration and adult stem cells (ASCs). This is largely due to the developmental plasticity of the planarian and the abundant distribution and experimental accessibility of the ASCs. Techniques such as whole mount in situ hybridization (WISH), dsRNA-mediated interference (RNAi), utilization of halogenated thymidine analogs, and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) allow for studying ASCs in vivo. The development of bioinformatic tools is also required for this to be a reality. Before the genome was sequenced, the main bioinformatic resource was a web-accessible database containing a large collection of expressed sequence tags (ESTs), up-to-date annotations, and expression data (SmedDb). With the sequencing of the genome and genome assembly available, it was feasible to create and use tools to annotate (MAKER) and distribute the genome, annotations and experimental data (SmedGD). With these tools in place it was possible to proceed with investigating biological questions, specifically epigenetic states and regulation of ASCs. Given the role chromatin architecture plays in defining the genomic output of a given cell, the multipotentiality found in the stem cells of S. mediterranea is likely to be no different. Canonical histones, H3, H4, H2A, H2B, the linker H1 and the variants H3.3, H2A.X, H2A.Z are present in the S. mediterranea genome. Immuno4 cytochemistry has confirmed differential levels of histone posttranslational modifications in different cell types, specially acetylation and methylation of histone H3. My aims were to develop the necessary bioinformatic tools, establish protocols for studying epigenetics in planarian, to determine if any epigenetic modifying enzymes are localized to ASCs, and identify if any of these enzymes have specific roles in ASC function. I assisted in the development of systems to keep SmedDb up-to-date, in the annotation (MAKER) of the genome, and the web accessibility of the genome and associated data (SmedGD). I created a library of genes for approximately 90 epigenetic modifying enzymes. The expression patterns of these genes were visualized with WISH and their function was perturbed with RNAi. Six genes were identified that are likely to have key roles in stem cell self-renewal, maintenance, and differentiation.

description: Maurice Dobb (1900-1976) was a political economist at  Cambridge University from 1924-1976. Dobb made numerous contributions in the fields of economics, history, politics, sociology, and philosophy of science. In spite of his impressive contributions and accomplishments there has been a relative neglect of his work, especially a comprehensive study of his work as a whole. This dissertation is a contribution toward a more  comprehensive understanding of the political economy of  Maurice Dobb. An institutional interpretation of Maurice  Dobb is employed. In the first chapter of the dissertation Dobb's overarching contributions to social science are enunciated and his economic histories analyzed. In Chapter 2 it is shown that Dobb's economic histories initiated the emergence of a school of economic history which now constitutes a unique approach to history, or a separate tradition of historians. Several of the contributing economic historians of this tradition  are outlined and scrutinized. Chapter 3 unfolds the  political economy of Maurice Dobb. Emphasis is placed  upon his institutional approach to political economy, his  critique of mainstream neoclassical economic theory, and  Dobb's theory of capitalist economic crisis. In Chapter 4  Dobb's methodology and philosophical underpinnings are  examined and delineated. Finally in Chapter 5 several  conclusions from this study are summarized.

Moreover, the last unpublished work of Antonella Capitanio on mixtures of skew normal distributions is reproduced here with the kind permission of her family. We also take the opportunity to re-present the seminal 1986 Azzalini paper, together with corrections and comments from the author. The last contribution, by Howell Tong and Dong Li, concerns the interesting relationship between skew symmetric distributions and threshold autoregressive models.

Existence, uniqueness, stochastic stability, and estimation theory of multivariate GARCH models

Subjects: GARCH models

description: Recent economic crises have exposed a critical need for appropriate methods to measure, model, and predict financial volatility. Generalized autoregressive conditional  heteroskedastic (GARCH) models have been among the most successful and widely studied tools for this task due to their ability to capture the stylized characteristics of financial data.  Extending the original univariate GARCH processes to the multivariate framework is important because, in many applications, the primary quantity of interest is the  interdependence, or covariance, between different univariate processes. Covariances are used for calculations of hedge ratios, betas of CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model), portfolio VaR (Value at Risk) estimates, asset weights in portfolios, and to investigate contagion across financial markets.  In Chapter 1 of this dissertation, we briefly review concepts and terminology related to stochastic processes and time series analysis. In Chapter 2, we prove  sufficient conditions for existence, uniqueness, and stochastic stability of multivariate GARCH processes. In Chapter 3, we explore the QMLE and VTE methods for  estimating multivariate GARCH parameters. We prove sufficient conditions for strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the QMLE and VTE estimators, and we conduct simulation studies to compare the performance of the VTE and QMLE.

Distribution. Guyana: Frey 1974a: 256. French Guiana: Moser 1924: 159 (as Philochlaenia [sic] sparsesetosa); Evans and Smith 2009: 291. “Guianas”: Blackwelder 1944: 229 (as Philochlaenia [sic] sparsesetosa). Other: Frey 1967: 89 (none).
Note. Frey (1974a: 256) mentions Plectris sparsesetosa for Guyana, but not for the type locality French Guiana. We consider his “ Guyana ” a misinterpretation of the location “Guayana: Maroni” as mentioned in the original description by Moser (1924: 159). The Maroni is the border river between Suriname and French Guiana, while there is no location of that name in Guyana. We are not aware of any records outside of French Guiana.

Sleep deprivation in the critically ill
Creators: name: Richardson, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: The sleep patterns of 9 critically ill subjects were studied in surgical and coronary intensive care units. Subjects had variable diagnoses and were studied for one night each, using EEG recordings.  Visual, tactile, aural, emotional, somatic and cognitive stimuli perceivable by each subject were recorded.  The mean sleep time for all subjects was 28.06 minutes (± 28.24 minutes).  Two subjects achieved no sleep and 1 subject achieved 1 minute of sleep.  The longest amount of sleep achieved was 73 nonconsecutive minutes.  Stage I sleep was achieved for a mean of 22.78 minutes (± 26.09), and was the most commonly occurring stage of sleep.  No REM sleep occurred.  Fifty-eight different types of stimuli were recorded with a stimulus occurring an average of once every minute. The most frequently occurring group of stimuli was external to the subject's room, consisting primarily of nurse's voices and nonvoice noises at the nursing desk.

Limit theorems (Probability theory)

description: This dissertation is concerned with functional data analysis. Functional data consists of a collection of curves or functions defi ned on an interval. These curves can be obtained by splitting a continuous time record such as temperature into daily or annual curves. Functional data is also obtained when an experimenter records a curve of data from each subject in a sample, e.g., a growth trajectory of an animal or plant. Several examples of diff erent models for functional data are given. We use the method of principle component analysis to obtain the necessary regularization in each model. Functional principal component analysis  is summarized as a natural extension of the traditional vector principal component analysis.  The  first functional model is concerned with inference based on the mean function of a functional time series. We develop and asymptotically justify a testing procedure for the equality of means in two functional samples exhibiting temporal dependence.  As a second example, we consider a quadratic functional regression model in which a scalar response depends on a functional predictor. We develop a test of the significance of the nonlinear term in the model. The asymptotic behavior of our testing procedure is established.   In the third model, we observe two sequences of curves which are connected via an integral operator. This model includes linear models as well as autoregressive models in Hilbert spaces. We develop a procedure to test the stability of the model.  In the fourth model, we propose a functional version of the popular ARCH model. We establish conditions for the existence of a strictly stationary solution, derive weak dependence and moment conditions, show consistency of the estimators, and perform an empirical study demonstrating how our model matches with real data.

Industrial Respirators

description: Four subjects were used to demonstrate the effects of wearing industrial respirators on pulmonary physiology and ability to perform metabolic work. Work was performed on a bicycle ergonometer. Pulmonary volumes and pressures were measured, as were inspiratory and expiratory work rates and oxygen consumption. It was demonstrated that the inspiratory work rate increased with increased inspiratory resistance and with increased respiratory minute volume; that respiratory resistance had no consistent effect on oxygen consumption at any given metabolic work rate; that increased inspiratory resistance causes increased use of both inspiratory and expiratory muscles; and that, although each subject responded consistently to an inspiratory resistance, there was considerable variation among subjects.

Very high energy gamma-rays

description: The majority of the known extragalactic very high energy (E>100 GeV) gamma ray emitting objects are blazars, active galactic nuclei with relativistic jets aligned close to the line of sight. Due to this geometry, the location of the gamma-ray emission along the jet is unclear. M87 is a nearby radio galaxy with its jet misaligned with the line of sight. The proximity of M87 and the jet misalignment allow detailed studies of spatially resolved emission regions in the radio, optical, and X-ray wavebands. The jet is unresolved in the gamma-ray regime, but contemporaneous flux variability measurements with other wavelengths provide a unique opportunity to constrain the emission origin and mechanisms responsible for high energy gamma-ray emission from an active galactic nucleus.  Ground-based imaging telescopes are used to observe the gamma-ray sky by detecting the Cherenkov light from the electromagnetic cascade initiated by gamma rays interacting with the Earth's atmosphere. The Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) has monitored very high energy gamma-ray emission from M87 since 2007. Over 170 hours of M87 observations have been performed by the VERITAS array  between 2007 and 2010. Flaring activities have been observed in 2008 and 2010 with flux variability in the time scale of days and with flux level up to 10 times the average nonflaring flux of M87. The shortest variability time scale observed by VERITAS is 0.9 days, which  constrains the size of the emission region. Simultaneous multiwavelength observations from radio to TeV gamma rays during the 2009 nonflaring period yielded a spectral energy distribution that is better described by leponic models instead of hadronic or large scale models. The details and implications of the VERITAS M87 result are presented in this dissertation.
