description: We consider scenarios with large flavour violating entries in the squark mass matrices focusing on the mixing between second and third generation squarks. These entries govern both, flavour violating low energy observables on the one hand and squark and gluino decays on the other hand. We first discuss the constraints on the parameter space due to the recent data on B mesons from the B factories and Tevatron. We then consider flavour violating squark and gluino decays and show that they can still be typically of order 10% despite the stringent constraints from low energy data. Finally we briefly comment on the impact for searches and parameter determinations at future collider experiments such as the upcoming LHC or a future International Linear Collider.

title: A Conceptual Analysis of the Appropriate Role of Assistive Technology in the Education of Students with Disabilities
Creators: name: Menlove, Martell
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: Assistive technology allows students with disabilities opportunities for greater independence, improved productivity, and increased functional capabilities. It removes obstacles, helps students overcome disabilities, and holds great promise for enriching educational outcomes and affecting the lives of students. However, for over 90% of special education students, assistive technology is not part of their education. One reason for not applying assistive technology to help students is the lack of a clear vision of what assistive technology is, what it can help students accomplish, and how to appropriately access it through individualized education programs (IEPs).
In this study a comprehensive concept analysis clarified key assistive technology concepts, and identified critical relevant and critical irrelevant attributes of assistive technology. Multiple focus groups and a survey of 191 special educators validated the concept analysis. The survey also provided valid and reliable data about the relevant and irrelevant critical attributes identified in the concept analysis. The survey identified discrepancies between understanding of the concepts and actual applications of assistive technology. The study applied a unique combination of concept analysis, focus group research, and survey research methods.
The appropriate application of assistive technology considers (a) the role of technology, (b) how technology meets students' unique functional needs, (c) the appropriateness of assistive technology applications, and ( d) the use of technology to expand the environment of the student. Although special educators agree these concepts are critical, they seldom apply them. Other irrelevant, misconceived attributes often dictate the nonapplication or misapplication of assistive technology.
Although the IEP is the programmatic method whereby students with disabilities access special education services, 86% of IEPs do not consider possible technology applications. This oversight occurs because IEP participants lack valid information, do not have assistive technology assessments available, perceive funding as a major obstacle, lack training, and/or there are not polices and procedures in place concerning assistive technology . Recommendations for special education providers, local education agencies, and parents are included.

description: We consider an inverse problem for a hyperbolic partial differential equation on a compact Riemannian manifold. Assuming that $Γ_1$ and $Γ_2$ are two disjoint open subsets of the boundary of the manifold we define the restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator $Λ_{Γ_1,Γ_2}$. This operator corresponds the boundary measurements when we have smooth sources supported on $Γ_1$ and the fields produced by these sources are observed on $Γ_2$. We show that when $Γ_1$ and $Γ_2$ are disjoint but their closures intersect at least at one point, then the restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator $Λ_{Γ_1,Γ_2}$ determines the Riemannian manifold and the metric on it up to an isometry. In the Euclidian space, the result yields that an anisotropic wave speed inside a compact body is determined, up to a natural coordinate transformations, by measurements on the boundary of the body even when wave sources are kept away from receivers. Moreover, we show that if we have three arbitrary non-empty open subsets $Γ_1,Γ_2$, and $Γ_3$ of the boundary, then the restricted Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators $Λ_{Γ_j,Γ_k}$ for $1\leq j

As the corner stone of these data collection phases are the individuals that will provide the data, special attention will be given on the compliance of the collection processes with ethical regulations and guidelines on research involving human beings, as well as on the safety of the sensors, tools, and devices involved and the protection of personal and health data. To this end, the present deliverable "D1.2 First version of ethics and safety manual" constitutes a reference guide for the VITALISE investigators by reporting on the international, European and National ethical regulations, device safety standards and certifications, as well as accepted data management procedures. Moreover, this deliverable presents a first plan for the VITALISE scheduled data collection to be compliant with the reported regulations and guidelines and evaluates potential concerns early in order to be mitigated effectively, through the proper management of ethical and data handling-related issues.
Kepler-411 star activity: connection between starspots and superflares

description: Stellar magnetic activity, just like that of the Sun, manifests itself in the form of flares and spots on the surface of the star. In the solar case, the largest flares originate from large active regions. In this work, we present a study of the activity of the star Kepler-411, including spot modeling from planetary transits. Our goal was to search for a connection between the area of starspots with the energy of superflares produced by this star. Kepler-411 is a K2V-type star with an average rotation period of 10.52 days, radius of 0.79 $R_{\odot}$ and a mass of 0.83 $M_{\odot} $, which was observed by the Kepler satellite for about 600 days. Transit mapping allowed for the characterization of 198 starspots with estimates of their radius and temperature. Kepler-411 starspots had an average radius of $(17 \pm 7)\times 10^3$ km and a mean temperature of $3800 \pm 700$ K. Visual inspection of the light curves of Kepler-411 yields the identification of 65 superflares. The detected superflares lasted from 8 to 260 min and their energy varied from $10^{33} - 10^{35}$ ergs. The power-law index of the flare frequency distribution as a function of energy is (-2.04 $\pm$ 0.13) for the flare on Kepler-411. A positive correlation between the area of starspots and the energy of superflares was found when considering the averages taken every 16 to 35 days, with the highest correlation occurring for averages every 21 days. This timing is probably related to the lifetime of the Kepler-411 spots.

description: In Fe-As based superconductors magnetism and superconductivity show strong sensitivity to the lattice, suggesting a possibility of unconventional electron-phonon coupling. We investigated c-axis polarized phonons in doped and undoped BaFe2As2 by inelastic X-ray scattering. Phonon peak positions and linewidths did not vary significantly as a function of doping either by Co or by K. The linewidth of the Fe vibration shows unusual wavevector-dependence, which may be due to hybridization with in-plane modes. Comparison with the density functional theory shows significant difference for the energy of the As-As vibrations (Raman active at the zone center) but not for the Fe-As vibrations (infrared-active at the zone center). This behavior cannot be explained by a 10% softening of Fe-As interaction strength as proposed previously for in-plane polarized vibrations.
A Categorical Framework for Quantum Theory

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Underlying any theory of physics is a layer of conceptual frames. They connect the mathematical structures used in theoretical models with physical phenomena, but they also constitute our fundamental assumptions about reality. Many of the discrepancies between quantum physics and classical physics (including Maxwell's electrodynamics and relativity) can be traced back to these categorical foundations. We argue that classical physics corresponds to the factual aspects of reality and requires a categorical framework which consists of four interdependent components: boolean logic, the linear-sequential notion of time, the principle of sufficient reason, and the dichotomy between observer and observed. None of these can be dropped without affecting the others. However, in quantum theory the reduction postulate also addresses the "status nascendi" of facts, i.e., their coming into being. Therefore, quantum phyics requires a different conceptual framework which will be elaborated in this article. It is shown that many of its components are already present in the standard formalisms of quantum physics, but in most cases they are highlighted not so much from a conceptual perspective but more from their mathematical structures. The categorical frame underlying quantum physics includes a profoundly different notion of time which encompasses a crucial role for the present.

description: We utilize the DHM integral representation for the BES dressing factor of the world-sheet S-matrix of the AdS_5xS^5 light-cone string theory, and the crossing equations to fix the principal branch of the dressing factor on the rapidity torus. The results obtained are further used, in conjunction with the fusion procedure, to determine the bound state dressing factor of the mirror theory. We convincingly demonstrate that the mirror bound state S-matrix found in this way does not depend on the internal structure of a bound state solution employed in the fusion procedure. This welcome feature is in perfect parallel to string theory, where the corresponding bound state S-matrix has no bearing on bound state constituent particles as well. The mirror bound state S-matrix we found provides the final missing piece in setting up the TBA equations for the AdS_5xS^5 mirror theory.

description: X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) signals are usually absent in antiferromagnets. In this letter, we report the observation of spontaneous XMCD spectra originating from the inverse triangular spin structure, or the polarization of the cluster magnetic octupole, in the chiral antiferromagnet Mn$_{3}$Sn thin film. The result is consistent with the recent theoretical predictions that the inverse triangular spin structure can give rise to finite XMCD signals in the absence of net magnetization [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 89, 083703 (2020) and Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 157402 (2021)].

description: As one of the remaining living links with two early Scandinavian researchers, the author examines their contribution to Bill Evitt’s breakthrough that launched the development of fossil dinoflagellate cysts into palynology. Evitt, in the early 1960s, revealed that many fossil hystrichospheres were in fact dinoflagellate cysts. Trygve Braarud, a Norwegian phytoplankton biologist, and Gunnar Erdtman, a Swedish palynologist, collaborated in 1954 to identify the first examples of living hystrichospheres as dinoflagellate cysts. This and a related study by the Norwegian Erling Nordli provided important evidence for Evitt’s breakthrough in 1961, but the wider palynological literature does not yet reflect the full significance of the Scandinavian work. Copies of correspondence between Braarud and Erdtman reproduced here together with the author’s personal observations help to clarify the extent to which this earlier work influenced the breakthrough. The Scandinavians were not aware at the time of the wider significance of their work for palynology, realized only later through Evitt’s perception. Reexamining this Scandinavian connection now therefore in no way detracts from Evitt’s pivotal role in launching ‘dinos’ into palynology. This example from palynology shows details of how exciting breakthroughs in science often happen, as work in separate but related fields is coalesced into a larger, more significant concept.
title: Positive Solutions Obtained as Local Minima via Symmetries, for Nonlinear Elliptic Equations
Creators: name: Catrina, Florin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: In this dissertation, we establish existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for semilinear elliptic equations with subcritical and critical nonlinearities. We treat problems invariant under subgroups of the orthogonal group. Roughly speaking, we prove that if enough "mass " is concentrated around special orbits, then among the functions with prescribed symmetry, there is a solution for the original problem.
Our results can be regarded as a further development of the work of Z.-Q. Wang, where existence of local minima in the space of symmetric functions was studied for the Schrödinger equation. We illustrate the general theory with three examples, all of which produce new results. Our method allows the construction of solutions with prescribed symmetry, and it represents a step further in the classification of positive solutions for certain nonlinear elliptic problems.

description: In 2008 January the 24th Chinese expedition team successfully deployed the Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) to DomeA, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau. CSTAR consists of four 14.5cm optical telescopes, each with a different filter (g, r, i and open) and has a 4.5degree x 4.5degree field of view (FOV). It operates robotically as part of the Plateau Observatory, PLATO, with each telescope taking an image every 30 seconds throughout the year whenever it is dark. During 2008, CSTAR #1 performed almost flawlessly, acquiring more than 0.3 million i-band images for a total integration time of 1728 hours during 158 days of observations. For each image taken under good sky conditions, more than 10,000 sources down to 16 mag could be detected. We performed aperture photometry on all the sources in the field to create the catalog described herein. Since CSTAR has a fixed pointing centered on the South Celestial Pole (Dec =-90 degree), all the sources within the FOV of CSTAR were monitored continuously for several months. The photometric catalog can be used for studying any variability in these sources, and for the discovery of transient sources such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts and minor planets.

description: Pions and protons production cross-sections are analyzed in proton-proton and proton-nucleus collisions at the RHIC energy at midrapidity. We employ the pQCD factorization scheme supplemented with the color-dipole formalism to investigate the Cronin effect. We calculate the broadening in the color-dipole approach for different centralities. Our main goal is to investigate, in a parameter-free manner within a unified framework, how much of the cronin effect for both pions and baryons comes from the transverse momentum broadening due to initial partons multi-scatterings. We conclude that final-state effects in pA collisions are important. Uncertainties in nuclear shadowing of various parton distributions and parton fragmentation functions are also discussed.

title: The Effects of Hunting Season Length on Comparable Pheasant Populations
Creators: name: Reynolds, Temple A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1957

description: For many years sportsmen have speculated that hunting limits pheasant populations. With the abolition of the Pheasant Game Farm program in Utah in 1953, this popular concept gained much impetus with the result that, because of public disfavor to a longer season, a 3 to 5 day season on pheasants is the maximum that bas been called in northern Utah and this only in areas classed as "better" pheasant habitat.
In contrast to the short seasons in Utah, pheasant seasons in southern Idaho have been from 8½ to 15½ days long for the past 10 years, and will be even longer in 1956 (table 1). Since the topography and land-use patterns of southeast Idaho and northeast Utah are similar, the question has been asked by Cache County sportsmen, "how can Idaho maintain a 15½ day season in Franklin County, while just across the line here in Cache County, we have only a 3 to 5 day season?"
Thus the purpose of this study was to investigate some of the factors affecting pheasant populations of northeast Utah and south-east Idaho under differing season lengths. Objectives of the study were to determine (1) the response of contiguous pheasant populations to long (15½ day) and short (5 day) seasons, (2) the hunting pressure under the 2 season lengths, (3) harvest of the pheasant crop under the 2 season lengths, and (4) reaction of hunters, farmers, and land-owners to long and short seasons.

description: Abstract

The contemporary study was designed to find out resistant and potential yield source of available chilli germplasm against bacterial wilt disease and management of bacterial wilt through plant defense activators. The findings of current study revealed that among 25 tested germplasm four cultivars named, Comega CH 403, HHP-090F, HHP-086H and Sanam showed resistant reaction having disease incidence between 1 to 20% respectively, whereas Sitara-80, Maxi and Sitara-83 were found highly susceptible with more than 80% disease incidence percentage. Current study found that, Comega CH 403, Sanam and HHP-086H were the leading varieties in terms of growth and yield contributing attributes, with maximum values of all investigated parameters in healthier conditions, however a small variation among all factors were recorded under disease stress. On the other hand minimum values for all growth parameters and yield were recorded among Maxi, Sitara-80 and Sitara-83 under both, healthy and infected environments with minimum log values. The results from management trials revealed that acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) was found highly effective against bacterial wilt with lowest disease incidence (38.63%), followed by chitosan (40.38%), citric acid (41.66%), salicylic acid (42.15%), benzoic acid (43.31%), ASA (45.29%), KH2PO4 (45.40%), K2HPO4 (48.30%), dichloro-isonicotinic acid (50.01%) and hydroquinone (52.43%) under greenhouse conditions.  Whereas, treatment of combination of ASM+CS+CA showed least disease incidence (34.16%) followed by ASM+CS, ASM+CA, CS+CA, ASM, CS and CA against bacterial wilt of chilli under natural field conditions. Thus, the Comega CH 403, Sanam and HHP-086H are the potential varieties with high yield and resistance response against bacterial wilt.

title: Vessiot: A Maple Package for Varational and Tensor Calculus in Multiple Coordinate Frames
Creators: name: Miller, Charles E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: The Maple V package Vessiot is an extensive set of procedures for performing computations in variational and tensor calculus. Vessiot is an extension of a previous package, Helmholtz, which was written by Cinnamon Hillyard for performing operations in the calculus of variations. The original set of commands included standard operators on differential forms, Euler-Lagrange operators, the Lie bracket operator, Lie derivatives, and homotopy operators. These capabilities are preserved in Vessiot, and enhanced so as to function in a multiple coordinate frame context. In addition, a substantial number of general tensor operations have been added to the package. These include standard algebraic operations such as the tensor product, contraction, raising and lowering of indices, as well covariant and Lie differentiation. Objects such as connections, the Riemannian curvature tensor, and Ricci tensor and scalar may also be easily computed. A synopsis of the command syntax appears in Appendix A on pages 194 through 225, and a complete listing of the Maple procedural code is given in Appendix B, beginning on page 222.
title: On the Model Selection in a Frailty Setting
Creators: name: Lundell, Jill F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: When analyzing data in a survival setting, whether of people or objects, one of the assumptions made is that the population is homogeneous. This is not true in reality and certain adjustments can be made in the model to account for heterogeneity. Frailty is one method of dealing with some of this heterogeneity. It is not possible to measure frailty directly and hence it can be very difficult to determine which frailty model is appropriate for the data in interest. This thesis investigates three model selection methods in their effectiveness at determining which frailty distribution best describes a given set of data. The model selection methods used are the Bayes factor, neural networks, and classification trees. Results favored classification trees. Very poor results were observed with neural networks.

description: Nacre, commonly known as mother-of-pearl, is a remarkable biomineral that in red abalone consists of layers of 400-nm thick aragonite crystalline tablets confined by organic matrix sheets, with the $(001)$ crystal axes of the aragonite tablets oriented to within $\pm$ 12 degrees from the normal to the layer planes. Recent experiments demonstrate that this orientational order develops over a distance of tens of layers from the prismatic boundary at which nacre formation begins. Our previous simulations of a model in which the order develops because of differential tablet growth rates (oriented tablets growing faster than misoriented ones) yield patterns of tablets that agree qualitatively and quantitatively with the experimental measurements. This paper presents an analytical treatment of this model, focusing on how the dynamical development and eventual degree of order depend on model parameters. Dynamical equations for the probability distributions governing tablet orientations are introduced whose form can be determined from symmetry considerations and for which substantial analytic progress can be made. Numerical simulations are performed to relate the parameters used in the analytic theory to those in the microscopic growth model. The analytic theory demonstrates that the dynamical mechanism is able to achieve a much higher degree of order than naive estimates would indicate.

description: The development of highly sensitive and rapid biosensing tools targeted to the highly contagious virus SARS-CoV-2 is critical to tackling the COVID-19 pandemic. Quantum sensors can play an important role, thanks to their superior sensitivity and fast improvements in recent years. Here we propose a molecular transducer designed for nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds, translating the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA into an unambiguous magnetic noise signal that can be optically read out. We evaluate the performance of the hybrid sensor, including its sensitivity and false negative rate, and compare it to widespread diagnostic methods. The proposed method is fast and promises to reach a sensitivity down to a few hundreds of RNA copies with false negative rate less than 1%. The proposed hybrid sensor can be further implemented with different solid-state defects and substrates, generalized to diagnose other RNA viruses, and integrated with CRISPR technology.

description: The goal of reproducible research and open science training is to change practices within the research community; yet, many course participants encounter difficulties in implementing what they've learned when they return to their research group. This talk explores strategies for designing hands-on courses where students implement reproducible research and open science practices in their own research, during the course. Participants have dedicated time to work on implementation, with the support of classmates and trained instructors who can help them to navigate early barriers and avoid common mistakes.

description: We performed an experimental test of the Kochen-Specker theorem based on an inequality derived from the Peres-Mermin proof, using spin-path (momentum) entanglement in a single neutron system. Following the strategy proposed by Cabello et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 130404 (2008)], a Bell-like state was generated and three expectation values were determined. The observed violation 2.291 +/- 0.008 > 1 clearly shows that quantum mechanical predictions cannot be reproduced by noncontextual hidden variables theories.

description: The introduction of hydroxyl groups into ligands is able to transfer high hydrophilic features to the related
metal systems. The atom-economy synthetic procedure adopted which consists in the one-step
Cyclopentene-oxide ring opening, quantitatitatively affords stereoselective formation of the multi-hydroxyl
rac-1,2,4- C5H2[CH(CH2)3CHOH]3 Cpººº ligand1. Rh complexation of Cpººº gives rise to a novel class of
water-soluble complexes (L,L)RhCpººº (LL=NBD 1, COD 2, CH2CH2 3, CO 4) (Scheme 1) characterized
by their spectroscopic features (ESI-MS, IR, 2D NMR, n.O.e.).
The X-ray diffraction studies of 1a reveal the occurrence of one couple of enantiomeric pairs in the crystal
structure, whilst the crystal packing shows an interesting self-organization in chains of dimeric units of 1a,
promoted by strong intermolecular hydroxyl H-bonding. This effect has been exploited by performing VT
NMR experiments in different solvents (CDCl3, Py, DMSO). Unpredictably, in the absence of chiral tag, 1
exhibits solvent-dependent chiroptical properties (CD, αD^
25), which are correlated to UV transitions and DFT
calculations. The intra/inter molecular H-binding is crucial in driving the equilibrium between the observed
atropisomers 1a and 1b, by varying the planar chirality on the two π-complexes.

description: Abstract

This research explores the impact of remote learning on student engagement, focusing on behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, remote learning has become essential, bringing to light its benefits and challenges. The flexibility and accessibility of remote learning are advantageous, especially for non-traditional students. However, issues such as reduced student engagement, digital divide, and varying digital literacy levels present significant obstacles. The study examines how digital self-efficacy, digital literacy, and teacher support influence student participation and engagement in online learning environments. High digital self-efficacy and literacy are anticipated to enhance student engagement, while effective teacher support is crucial for a positive remote learning experience. The findings of the study found a more significant impact of digital literacy compare to self-efficacy. The research offers a a comprehensive model illustrating the interaction between these factors, providing insights and practical solutions to improve distance learning approaches.

description: Magnetic-field (H) induced first-order magnetic transition and the assiciated electronic phase-separation phenomena are active topics of research in magnetism. Magnetoresistance (MR) is a key property to probe these phenomena and, in literature, a butterfly-shaped MR loop has been noted while cycling the field, with the envelope curve lying below the virgin curve in MR versus H plots of such materials. Here, we report an opposite behavior of MR loop for an alloy, Tb4LuSi3, at low temperatures (<<20 K) in the magnetically ordered state. Such an anomalous curve reveals unexpected domination of higher resistive high-field phase in electronic conduction, unlike in other materials where conducion is naturally by low-resistive high-field phase that follows first-order transition. The observed features reveal an unusual electronic phase separation, namely involving high-resistive high-field phase and low-resistive virgin phase.

title: Construction and Analysis of a Family of Numerical Methods for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws with Stiff Source Terms
Creators: name: Hillyard, Cinnamon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: Numerical schemes for the partial differential equations used to characterize stiffly forced conservation laws are constructed and analyzed. Partial differential equations of this form are found in many physical applications including modeling gas dynamics, fluid flow, and combustion. Many difficulties arise when trying to approximate solutions to stiffly forced conservation laws numerically. Some of these numerical difficulties are investigated.
A new class of numerical schemes is developed to overcome some of these problems. The numerical schemes are constructed using an infinite sequence of conservation laws.
Restrictions are given on the schemes that guarantee they maintain a uniform bound and satisfy an entropy condition. For schemes meeting these criteria, a proof is given of convergence to the correct physical solution of the conservation law.
Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
