Remote Control and Automation of the Crockett Canal Head Gates
Creators: name: Richards, Tyler Dean
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: In order to improve the control of the Crockett canal an automated control system for the head gates was proposed and an analysis of design alternatives was conducted. Design alternatives were analyzed based on the criteria of reliability, operational improvement, cost and safety. After the analysis was completed recommendations as to which type of automation system to install were made. A comprehensive design of the recommended design is included. The automation of the head gates has been separated into two phases. Items to be included in phase one are: retrofit each of the existing head gates with a multi-turn gate actuator and, installation of an electrical system to provide power to operate actuators. The electrical system will include provisions for future expansion phases, and a programmable data logger to provide automation. The estimated cost for this phase is $20,000. The second phase includes the installation of a sliding gate for control of the spillway, and installation of a gate actuator to automate the new gate. The estimated cost of phase two is $13,600. The design has been submitted to the canal company for approval.

Theoretical Approach for Error Estimation of Temperature and Thermal Conductivity in Uranium Dioxide Fuel
Creators: name: Gerth, Adam John
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: The knowledge of in-reactor thermophysical properties of nuclear fuel rods, which are usually composed of uranium dioxide (UO2) ceramics, is important for the safe design and operation of nuclear power plants. A two thermocouple method can be utilized to determine the thermal conductivity within the fuel rods by measuring rod centerline temperature and cladding temperature. Using this technique, Halden Reactor Project (HRP) has developed a correlation for thermal conductivity of UO2 as a function of temperature and burnup. This correlation for thermal conductivity was extracted from experimental data based on a constant thermal conductivity assumption of the fuel rod. However, there are no studies to quantify the error in temperature or thermal conductivity due to the constant thermal conductivity assumption, which will help define the error level of the HRP correlation. Therefore, the first objective for this study was to develop a working model to identify the error associated with constant thermal conductivity of UO2 compared to the variable conductivity mode using the correlation determined by HRP. The second objective was to develop an approach for data processing that could be used to obtain the correct temperature dependent thermal conductivity. These objectives were achieved by finding analytical solutions of the governing equations with constant and variable thermal conductivity. Two models were developed to characterize the error between the two assumptions of thermal conductivity. The first model generates the temperature profiles and associated errors of the two assumptions by using constant values for burnup, heat generation, and radius of the fuel rods. The second model is used to determine the dependence of error on heat generation and radius values. Discussion on various solution methods is provided. A hypothetical data set was produced in order to show how the HRP data set can be reprocessed to produce a higher order correlation for thermal conductivity. The result shows that there is as much as 12% error in the temperature profile by assuming constant thermal conductivity. Furthermore, the result shows that the HRP correlation contains an error of about 6%. The higher order data processing method developed in this study can be used in processing HRP or future data from reactor experiments. This study quantified the error of the constant thermal conductivity assumption for UO2 nuclear fuel rods, and provided a useful tool for data processing.

description: A spinless covariant field $ϕ$ on Minkowski spacetime $\M^{d+1}$ obeys the relation $U(a,Λ)ϕ(x)U(a,Λ)^{-1}=ϕ(Λx+a)$ where $(a,Λ)$ is an element of the Poincaré group $\Pg$ and $U:(a,Λ)\to U(a,Λ)$ is its unitary representation on quantum vector states. It expresses the fact that Poincaré transformations are being unitary implemented. It has a classical analogy where field covariance shows that Poincaré transformations are canonically implemented. Covariance is self-reproducing: products of covariant fields are covariant. We recall these properties and use them to formulate the notion of covariant quantum fields on noncommutative spacetimes. In this way all our earlier results on dressing, statistics, etc. for Moyal spacetimes are derived transparently. For the Voros algebra, covariance and the *-operation are in conflict so that there are no covariant Voros fields compatible with *, a result we found earlier. The notion of Drinfel'd twist underlying much of the preceding discussion is extended to discrete abelian and nonabelian groups such as the mapping class groups of topological geons. For twists involving nonabelian groups the emergent spacetimes are nonassociative.

Essays in development economics on gender and tribes in India
Creators: name: Maity, Bipasha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis studies the situation of women and tribes in India through the roles of workfare programme, availability of public healthcare and history. The second chapter studies the effect of India's National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme (NREGA) on consumption expenditure and time-use, especially on account of women's participation. Using instrumental variables estimation strategy to deal with the endogeneity in the number of days worked, we find that women's participation benefits children, especially girls. Higher spending on nutritious foods, education of girls, lower engagement of women in domestic chores and greater time spent in school for younger girls are found on account of the programme. The Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) are the two most disadvantaged social groups in India. The third chapter investigates whether STs lag behind even the SCs in terms of health, a key development indicator which has also remained relatively understudied in the literature. Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition method shows that relative to the lack of demand for healthcare from the STs, shortage of supply of health services in tribal areas appears to be more important in explaining why STs lag behind even the SCs in nearly all aspects of women's and children's health. The chapter argues that STs need to be studied in isolation from the SCs because of different historical reasons for the underdevelopment of these two groups. The fourth chapter studies the long term implications of historical female property rights on current development outcomes. Historic patterns of widowhood for women is a plausible mechanism through which women became owners of property. Districts with greater relative female landownership in the past are found to have lower infant mortality, higher literacy rate, better healthcare for and higher labour force participation of women, greater reporting of and arrests for crimes committed against women and higher women's autonomy. Greater political representation of women, investment in public goods and greater economic role played by women in agriculture appear to be possible mechanisms that could explain how female property rights during colonial time can have long-term effects.

Kommunen har i Idestudiet ”Järnvägstunnlar i Helsinborg” fra april 2006 præsenteret en fremtidsplan for nye jernbanetunneller i byen, der sikrer muligheden for at man senere kan anlægge en tunnel til jernbanetrafik mellem Helsingør og Helsingborg, HH-tunneln. HH-tunneln har tidligere været undersøgt med hensyn til anlægspris (1998) og trafikprogno-ser (2003). Derimod har det ikke tidligere været vurderet om HH-tunneln kan spille en rolle som aflastning for Øresundsforbindelsen en gang i fremtiden. Kan jernbanetrafikken på Øre-sundsbroen i fremtiden blive så intensiv, at der opstår behov for en ekstra fast forbindelse? Vil HH-tunneln i så fald kunne aflaste Øresundsbroen? Disse to spørgsmål vil søgt besvaret i den sidste del af artiklen, baseret på et kapacitetsstudie udført af Atkins Danmark.

description: Given , a tournament on vertices, Landau derived a method to determine how close is to being transitive or regular. This comparison is based on the tournament’s hierarchy number, ̅, a value derived from its score vector ̅ ( ). Let be the set of all score vectors of tournaments on vertices with the entries listed in non-decreasing order. A partial order, poset, exists on the set using the following binary relation. Given ̅ ̅ such that ̅ ̅, let ̅ ̅ if Σ Σ for and Σ Σ . Let this poset be represented as ( ) ( ) where {( ̅ ̅) ̅ ̅}. The value ̅ can also be used to define a partial order on the set where ̅ ̅ if ̅ ̅ . I propose that this new poset is an extension of the poset ( ). This can be proven using a method of comparing score vectors algebraically equivalent to Landau’s hierarchy method. Specifically, Σ Σ if and only if ̅ ̅. Furthermore, I conjecture that extending this method to compare ̅ and ̅ using Σ for will always yield an extension of ( ), and that there exists some integer dependent on which will result in a linear extension of ( ).
Heat Transfer Through A Rotating Ball Bearing At Low Angular Velocities
Creators: name: Isert, Sarah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Bearings are commonly used in mechanical systems when there are rotating parts in the system. For bearings that run at speeds above about 1000 revolutions per minute, such as those used in aircraft turbines, machining tools, and automotive engines, it is important to take into account the heat transfer through the bearing system due to friction. Heat transfer is generally not considered for applications where the bearing is rotating at low speeds, such as clocks and bicycles. However, for certain aerospace applications, such as precision instruments or wind turbines, the heat transfer through the bearing becomes relevant. The case where the bearing is rotating rapidly has been extensively studied in the literature; however, bearings rotating at low speeds are not often studied due to the small amount of heat flowing through the bearing. This report extends the current body of knowledge by analytically determining the thermal resistance of bearings that rotate at low angular velocities and comparing the analytic values to experimental values. Using this information will help in system design where an accurate knowledge of bearing heat transfer is needed.
Thermal resistance is a measure of temperature drop due to the resistance of an object to heat flow. A literature review led to the conclusion that for increasing rotational speeds the thermal resistance of the bearing should decrease due to increased convection heat transfer on the inside surfaces of the bearing. Using correlations from the literature a bearing heat transfer model was developed to provide a quick engineering tool to determine the thermal resistance of a bearing given the bearing dimensions, rotational speed, and input heat flow.
A rough examination of the heat transfer model was made using an experimental apparatus developed to sense the temperature drop across a representative bearing system. This apparatus allowed the thermal resistance to be calculated and compared against predicted model values. This test was repeated for several different shaft rotational rates.

Agent Based Individual Trafficguidance
Creators: name: Wanscher, Jørgen Bundgaard
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: When working with traffic planning or guidance it is common practice to view the vehicles as a combined mass. From this models are employed to specify the vehicle supply and demand for each region. As the models are complex and the calculations are equally demanding the regions and the detail of the road network is aggregated. As a result the calculations reveal only what the mass of vehicles are doing and not what a single vehicle is doing. This is the crucial difference to Agent Based Individual Traffic guidance (ABIT). ABIT is based on the fact that information on the destination of each vehicle can be obtained. This information can then be used to provide individual traffic guidance as opposed to the mass information systems of today – dynamic road signs and traffic radio. The goal is to achieve better usage of the road and time. The main topic of this paper is the current development in both practical and theoretical fields concerning the realization of ABIT.

description: Lo scopo che si propone questo saggio è far interagire le figure del collezionista e dell’antiquario con le dinamiche del desiderio e individuare le possibili connessioni esistenti fra i tre temi. Si è scelto dunque di adottare un approccio di analisi dei testi di tipo tematico e comparatistico e di privilegiare un campione di esempi tratti dalla narrativa italiana di fine Ottocento e Novecento, non trascurando di mostrare come gli scrittori presi in esame oscillino fra il consapevole riferimento alla tradizione letteraria e il tentativo di tracciare percorsi originali di rivisitazione e riscrittura. L’analisi testuale rivelerà i desideri disparati che muovono collezionisti e antiquari alla ricerca dei reperti che compongono le loro collezioni: avidità maniacale, bisogno patologico di ricchezza, fantasie di martirio, amor proprio, ambizione di eccellere, sogni di onnipotenza, libido, gelosia, illusione di immortalità, attrazione per il perverso, curiosità da flâneur. Ma in cima a questo elenco vi è senza dubbio il desiderio di ascoltare il racconto che la letteratura può fare della vita.

description: Each of the 3,141 counties in the United States is unique, with a variety of physical characteristics. Approximately 287 of these counties have designated Wilderness Land within their boundaries. Many have argued about the benefits and also the burdens of having this designated land within a county. Research has been completed looking at the effects the Wilderness Land has to the local economies, the quality of life of the county citizens, and the county tourism industry. However, there is no research completed on the effects Wilderness Lands has to the local government tax revenue. Examining the revenue in the county will help solidify the Wilderness discussion that continues among multiple parties.

Murakami è notissimo anche nel resto d’Europa – i suoi libri si vendono nelle edicole di stazioni e aeroporti – e negli Stati Uniti, dove ha viaggiato, vissuto e insegnato abbastanza a lungo, prima di tornare nel suo paese d’origine. Dopo aver trascorso l’adolescenza a Kobe e gli anni universitari a Tokyo, Murakami ha infatti soggiornato, tra gli anni Ottanta e i Novanta, in Italia, in Grecia, in California.

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The subject of this paper is the secular behaviour of a pair of planets evolving under dissipative forces. In particular, we investigate the case when dissipative forces affect the planetary semi-major axes and the planets move inward/outward the central star, in a process known as planet migration. To perform this investigation, we introduce fundamental concepts of conservative and dissipative dynamics of the three-body problem. Based on these concepts, we develop a qualitative model of the secular evolution of the migrating planetary pair. Our approach is based on analysis of the energy and the orbital angular momentum exchange between the two-planet system and an external medium; thus no specific kind of dissipative forces is invoked. We show that, under assumption that dissipation is weak and slow, the evolutionary routes of the migrating planets are traced by the Mode I and Mode II stationary solutions of the conservative secular problem. The ultimate convergence and the evolution of the system along one of these secular modes of motion is determined uniquely by the condition that the dissipation rate is sufficiently smaller than the proper secular frequency of the system. We show that it is possible to reassemble the starting configurations and migration history of the systems on the basis of their final states and consequently to constrain the parameters of the physical processes involved.

description: Childhood overweight and obesity is a growing problem across America. Public health interventions are needed to help address this problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of the Utah County Fit WIC Program – which was initiated to address the needs of children who are overweight or at-risk of overweight based on Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age.
Data was collected over the course of one year to examine associations between discussion of child’s weight and goal setting with parent(s)/caregiver(s) and changes in participants’ (n=167) BMI-for-age. The mean BMI-for-age decreased for participants studied across a one year period, measuring -4.50 at six months, and -3.55 at one year (p=0.000 at both intervals). Participants who were initially identified as being at-risk of overweight at their initial examination had a larger change in BMI-for-age over six months and one year than those initially assessed as overweight. Discussing a child’s weight and setting goals was not found to be significantly correlated with change in BMI percentile. No significant difference in BMI-for-age or change in BMI-for-age was observed based on ethnicity (Hispanic or non-Hispanic) or gender. Despite this, the Utah County Fit WIC Program was found to be successful in decreasing mean BMI-for-age over time for participants.
In summary, while the results of this study did not show differences between the intervention and non-intervention groups that were statistically significant, there was still a downward trend in overall BMI-for-age measurements for participants in the Utah County Fit WIC Program. This is a positive outcome. With continued improvement, it is expected that this program and other similar programs will be beneficial in terms of childhood weight management.
Maternal Language During Book-Sharing: Wordless Verses Print
Creators: name: Nielsen, Jessica
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The importance of adult linguistic responsiveness in facilitating language development in young children is well documented (e.g. Cross & Morris, 1980; Snow, 1994; Tamis-LeMonda, Bornstein, & Baumwell, 2001; Yoder, Warren, McCathern, & Leew, 1998). Research has shown that the use of responsive language by parents in the context of play is associated with greater child language productivity (Girolametto, Hoaken, Weitzman, & van Lieshout, 2000). Rocissano and Yatchmink (1983) found that when mother-child dyads utilized more joint attention, the toddlers demonstrated higher language skills and syntax abilities. Research has also shown that parent-child shared book reading contexts can be very beneficial environments for preschool aged children, as well as children with speech and/or language disorders, and can promote linguistic growth (Kaderavek & Justice, 2002). Parent-child shared book reading environments can be highly facilitative in vocabulary development, conversational participation, and emergent literacy knowledge. Findings suggest that parental behavior analyses during parent-child shared reading interactions with children who are delayed in language, impact the child’s engagement in the interaction (Kaderavek & Justice, 2002).
A total of 56 mother-child dyads participated in the study and were recruited from early intervention programs in the state of Utah. Dyads were given two books to use during the interaction, one wordless and one containing print. Mother-child dyads participated in a 15-minute interaction with books and toys in their home. The interaction was video recorded for later analysis. The verbal exchanges that occurred during the interactions were transcribed orthographically and coded for parental responsiveness using procedures and software from the Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (SALT; Miller, 2006).
The results indicated that the mothers were more responsive to children in the wordless book sharing context than the printed book sharing context. Parents were equally directive in both contexts. Maternal responsiveness was moderately to highly correlated with child linguistic productivity measured using mean length of utterance, number of total words, and number of different words in both contexts, highlighting the importance of maternal responsivity for facilitating linguistic productivity in young children with language delays or who are at-risk for developing a language delay.

description: There is an certain discomfort that accompanies stepping outside the known into the unfamiliar. Yet in my life, the endeavors I have been the most uncertain about have often turned out to be the most rewarding to me. This is especially true in the case of traveling. My first major experience away from home came with an opportunity to participate in a month-long study abroad in Switzerland. My uneasiness about the prospect of spending an extended period of time thousands of miles away from home almost kept me from going. In my life, I can identify a small handful of events that I consider pivotal - and the choice to go on this adventure was one of them. My experiences Switzerland that summer, as well as subsequent journeys away from home, have truly changed who I am. Traveling, to me, is not a form of respite from the stresses and boredom of the day-to-day. I see it as something that shapes the lives of those who earnestly seek the experience.

description: We present carbon and oxygen abundances for 941 FGK stars-the largest such catalog to date. We find that planet-bearing systems are enriched in these elements. We self-consistently measure C/O, which is thought to play a key role in planet formation. We identify 46 stars with C/O \geq 1.00 as potential hosts of carbon-dominated exoplanets. We measure a downward trend in [O/Fe] versus [Fe/H] and find distinct trends in the thin and thick disks, supporting the work of Bensby et al. Finally, we measure sub-solar C/O = 0.40+0.11 - 0.07, for WASP-12, a surprising result as this star is host to a transiting hot Jupiter whose dayside atmosphere was recently reported to have C/O \geq 1 by Madhusudhan et al. Our measurements are based on 15,000 high signal-to-noise spectra taken with the Keck 1 telescope as part of the California Planet Search. We derive abundances from the [O I] and C I absorption lines at λ = 6300 and 6587 Å using the SME spectral synthesizer.

Totale kostnader ved fergedriften var ca. 2 900 mill. norske kroner (NOK) mens inntektene var rundt 1 600 mill. NOK. At Senterpartiet - som er et av de nåværende regjeringspartiene, kom med forslag om gratis ferger foran stortingsvalget i 2005, ble således sett på som en stor transportreform. I dette notatet drøftes først de trafikale virkningene på ulike typer samband ved at fergene blir gratis. En må regne med størst trafikkøkning på lange samband med mye lokaltrafikk, med en stor andel fritidsreisende og med gode alternative transportmuligheter til fergen. Hvis trafikkøkningen på landsbasis blir mellom 10 % og 20 % samtidig med at denne trafikkøkningen møtes med økt fergekapasitet slik at fergebrukerens samlede tidskostnader ikke øker, er det anslått at de årlige positive virkningene for fergebrukerne blir omkring 1700 mill. NOK mens økt årlig tilskudd til fergedriften blir på rundt 1900 mill. NOK på grunn av bortfall av billettinntekter og økte fergekostnader. Tar en med skattekostnadene ved å finansiere økt tilskudd, er det samfunnsøkonomiske tapet ved å innføre gratis ferger anslått til rundt 500 mill. NOK per år. Selv om innføring av gratis ferger ser ut til å være samfunnsøkonomisk ulønnsomt, kan det allikevel være et fornuftig tiltak. Gratis ferger er en fordel for fergebrukerne og distriktsvennlig slik at valget til syvende og sist avhenger av hvordan en vektlegger fergebrukernes velferd kontra velferden til den øvrige befolkningen. I følge våre beregninger bør gratis ferger innføres hvis velferden til fergebrukerne vektlegges ca. 30 % høyere enn velferden til befolkningen for øvrig.

description: Formålet med denne artikkelen er å drøfte samfunnsøkonomiske og fordelingsmessige konsekvenser av å gi enkelte trafikantgrupper fortrinnsrett på transportmidler med periodevise kapasitetsproblemer og relativt lav frekvens. De prinsipielle drøftingene belyses empirisk med erfaringer fra et pågående forsøk med forkjørsrett for fastboende arbeidspendlere på ferjesambandet til turist- og feriestedet Kjerringøy i Nord-Norge. Nytte- kostnadsanalysen viser at forkjørsretten på det aktuelle ferjesambandet er samfunns- økonomisk lønnsom med god margin. Netto nytte er svært høy, noe som delvis skyldes at investeringskostnadene er små, men også at nytten til vinnerne (pendlerne) er over tre ganger så store som ulempene til taperne (fritidsreisende). Forkjørsretten har gitt pendlerne en bedre og lettere hverdag og er et interessant distriktspolitisk virkemiddel. Tryggheten ved å alltid komme med ønsket ferjeavgang verdsettes høyt og det er stor enighet blant pendlerne om at forkjørsrett er bedre enn lavere ferjetakster.

description: The charged Fermi gas with a small Lande-factor $g$ is expected to be diamagnetic, while that with a larger $g$ could be paramagnetic. We calculate the critical value of the $g$-factor which separates the dia- and para-magnetic regions. In the weak-field limit, $g_{c}$ has the same value both at high and low temperatures, $g_{c}=1/\sqrt{12}$. Nevertheless, $g_{c}$ increases with the temperature reducing in finite magnetic fields. We also compare the $g_{c}$ value of Fermi gases with those of Boltzmann and Bose gases, supposing the particle has three Zeeman levels $σ=\pm1, 0$, and find that $g_{c}$ of Bose and Fermi gases is larger and smaller than that of Boltzmann gases, respectively.

Real estate ownership and the demand for cars in Denmark
Creators: name: Nielsen, Jens Erik
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2006

description: This paper examines how real estate ownership, increasing real estate values and the falling interest rates affect car demand. It uses data from the Danish Transport Diary Survey together with data from Statistics Denmark to estimate a simple partial adjustment model for car availability in Danish households. We find that car availability differs among households owning real estate and households not owning real estate. Furthermore we show that both households groups have increased their demand for cars due to the falling interest rate.

Vorrei sapere chi sono:  Strategie di individuazione del Sé  attraverso i feticci
Creators: name: Scotti, Massimo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Cagliari
Year: 2013

description: L'articolo illustra il ruolo del feticcio nel percorso di appropriazione dell’individualità da parte dell’eroe romanzesco, ricorrendo a esempi letterari dedicati all’età di formazione: non solo storie per l’infanzia, quindi, ma, più ampiamente, vicende in cui il desiderio sostanziale del protagonista si concentra nella “scoperta del Sé”, un Selbst junghiano che cresce e si configura nel suo rapporto con l’Ombra. In questo itinerario i feticci attorniano l’individuo come strumenti, mezzi magici e specchi – non solo della persona ma anche del desiderio stesso. Il discorso si concentra sull’appropriazione dell’identità maschile, sui suoi tranelli e sulle sue insidie. Gli autori presi in considerazione sono Virginia Woolf, Jules Renard, James Matthew Barrie, Joanne K. Rowling e Arthur Schnitzler. Il procedimento critico intende tracciare paralleli fra i classici che hanno forgiato l’immaginario occidentale e le radici più antiche – orientali – delle saghe eroiche (le storie di Gilgamesh; il mito di Indra e Naamuci) passando per l’epica cavalleresca (Sir Gawain e il Cavaliere Verde). Un’indicazione illuminante, in questo senso, viene dal critico angloindiano Ananda Coomaraswamy.

The Effects of Training on Teachers' Perceptions of Inclusion of Students with Intellectual Disabilities
Creators: name: Vernier, Kerin M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: In today’s society, many general education and special education teachers struggle with the concept of inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities (ID) in the general education classroom setting and perceive that inclusion of ID students impedes the learning of others. The purpose of this project was to establish if a 60-min training session on the benefits of inclusion would alter teachers’ perceptions of inclusion of children with ID in the general education setting as measured by a pre- and post-training rating scale. Forty-eight general education and special education school teachers participated. Of the 48 participants, 47 had special education experience and 33 had students with ID in their classroom this calendar school year. I developed and delivered a 60-min training module describing benefits of inclusion for students and ways that teachers can actively involve students with ID in general education classrooms. Differences in pre- and post-test scores determined whether participants altered their perception of inclusion. The results from the data I collected on the pre- and post-tests showed that inclusion training did alter teacher’s perceptions of inclusion. On average, 51.36% of the general educators’ ratings of statements changed from pre-test to post-test, and 42.88% of the special educator’s ratings of statements changed from the pre-test to the post-test. Of the 22 general education participants, 93% of the changed ratings to the statements from pre-test to post-test were favorable to inclusion, while 7% were unfavorable to inclusion. Of the 26 special education participants, 91% of the changed ratings to the statements from pre-test to post-test were favorable to inclusion, and 9% were unfavorable to inclusion. Implications of my findings show that a 60-min inclusion training for educators is effective and can alter teacher’s previous perceptions of the benefits of inclusion for all students.
The ecological consequences of evolutionary change in freshwater ecosystems

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Evolutionary change has largely been ignored in ecology because it has traditionally been considered too gradual a process to alter ecological patterns. Recent evidence that evolution can occur rapidly has challenged this notion. Understanding when evolution is likely to alter ecological processes and how evolution changes ecological dynamics could improve our understanding of community and ecosystem ecology and lead to greater predictability. In chapter 2 I present the results of an experiment investigating how local adaptation in two species alters community structure and ecosystem function. I found that intraspecific variation between these two taxa can interact to alter both the ecological community and some ecosystem functions. In chapter 3 I focus on understanding how rapid evolution from introgressive hybridization alters ecology in both a mesocosm experiment and a comparative field study. I found that introgressive hybridization lead to a phenotypic shift and predictable changes in community structure and ecosystem function based on trophic cascade theory. In chapter 4 I detail the findings from a large-scale piscivorous fish trophic cascade experiment. In this study I found that the addition of a piscivore alters the movement of invertebrates from aquatic environments to terrestrial environments. In addition, the results support previous findings that non-consumptive effects of predators may play an important role in determining the strength of the trophic cascade in the aquatic system. In chapter 5 I explore the role of rapid evolution in enhancing and maintaining ecosystem services. I create a quantitative criteria for assessing the importance of rapid evolution to ecosystem services, review cases where rapid evolution may already be playing an important role, and suggest ways to manage for the conservation of ecosystem services.
Engineering the Zero-Point Field and Polarizable Vacuum For Interstellar Flight

description: A theme that has come to the fore in advanced planning for long-range space exploration is the concept of "propellantless propulsion" or "field propulsion." One version of this concept involves the projected possibility that empty space itself (the quantum vacuum, or space-time metric) might be manipulated so as to provide energy/thrust for future space vehicles. Although such a proposal has a certain science-fiction quality about it, modern theory describes the vacuum as a polarizable medium that sustains energetic quantum fluctuations. Thus the possibility that matter/vacuum interactions might be engineered for space-flight applications is not a priori ruled out, although certain constraints need to be acknowledged. The structure and implications of such a far-reaching hypothesis are considered herein.
