Trauma and Touch: Apprehension of Touch and Relationship Quality in Survivors of Military Sexual Trauma
Creators: name: Christensen, Danielle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description:
Sexual assault is linked to poor romantic relationships but sexual assault in the military is linked to more severe outcomes than civilian assault (Surís et al., 2007).One in four women Veterans report military sexual trauma (MST; VA, nd). MST is highly correlated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and lower relationship satisfaction, which is problematic as relationship quality buffers against PTSD and dysfunction secondary to MST. Relationship quality is multidimensional and includes satisfaction with physical touch; the effects of sexual trauma on touch apprehension have not been examined in those with MST. Moreover, it is not clear whether contact MST (e.g., rape) and non-contact MST (e.g., verbal harassment) differentially relate to touch apprehension and relationship quality. Findings from this line of research could provide helpful insights into ways to improve individual and couple-level interventions to address PTSD and MST. The current study examined the association of MST type (contact/non-contact), PTSD severity, touch apprehension, and relationship quality in 215 partnered women Veterans who reported a history of MST. The majority of the sample (74.9%) reported contact MST. Bivariate analyses revealed that higher touch apprehension was negatively associated relationship quality (r=.20, p

description: We further define two-parameter quantum affine algebra $U_{r,s}(\widehat{\frak {sl}_n})$ $(n>2)$ after the work on the finite cases (see [BW1], [BGH1], [HS] & [BH]), which turns out to be a Drinfel'd double. Of importance for the quantum {\it affine} cases is that we can work out the compatible two-parameter version of the Drinfel'd realization as a quantum affinization of $U_{r,s}(\frak{sl}_n)$ and establish the Drinfel'd isomorphism Theorem in the two-parameter setting, via developing a new combinatorial approach (quantum calculation) to the quantum {\it affine} Lyndon basis we present (with an explicit valid algorithm based on the use of Drinfel'd generators).

Dynamic Stability on Land and in Waist-Deep Water: Comparison Between Young and Middle Aged Adults
Creators: name: Bunnell, Christie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study was to compare dynamic stability on land and in water, between young and middle-aged adults performing plyometric exercises. Twenty adults were asked to volunteer: Young = 24.40 ± 2.63 years, n = 10 and middle-aged = 46.80 ± 3.05 years, n = 10. Participants performed three plyometric exercises (countermovement jump, squat jump, and drop landing) on land and in waist-deep water. Dynamic stability was assessed during landing for each exercise using a time to stabilization (TTS) paradigm. Data were collected via a waterproof force plate positioned on an adjustable-depth pool floor and analyzed with a 2 (age) X 2 (environment) x 3 (jump type) repeated measures ANOVA. Results revealed TTS was greater on land (1.45 ± 0.12s) than in water (1.35 ± 0.12s) for two jumps (p = 0.01). Across both age groups, dynamic stability was better in the water. This suggests that jump training in water may be beneficial for improving dynamic stability.
Non-Gaussian behaviour of a self-propelled particle on a substrate

description: The overdamped Brownian motion of a self-propelled particle which is driven by a projected internal force is studied by solving the Langevin equation analytically. The "active" particle under study is restricted to move along a linear channel. The direction of its internal force is orientationally diffusing on a unit circle in a plane perpendicular to the substrate. An additional time-dependent torque is acting on the internal force orientation. The model is relevant for active particles like catalytically driven Janus particles and bacteria moving on a substrate. Analytical results for the first four time-dependent displacement moments are presented and analysed for several special situations. For vanishing torque, there is a significant dynamical non-Gaussian behaviour at finite times t as signalled by a non-vanishing normalized kurtosis in the particle displacement which approaches zero for long time with a 1/t long-time tail.

description: Quantum state preparation by adiabatic evolution is currently rendered ineffective by the long implementation times of the underlying quantum circuits, comparable to the decoherence time of present and near-term quantum devices. These implementation times can be significantly reduced by realizing the evolution with a minimal number of customized gates. Employing a realistic model of a two-qubit processor, we carried out classical device-level simulations of the adiabatic evolution of a two-spin system implemented with customized two-qubit gates. These device-level simulations were compared with (experimental) ones solving the same problem on IBMQ systems. When used to emulate the IBMQ quantum circuit, our device-level simulations reached state fidelities ranging from 65% to 85%, similar to the actual performance of a diverse set of IBMQ devices.When we reduced the implementation time by using a minimal number of customized gates, however, the loss of fidelity was reduced by at least a factor of four, allowing us to accurately extract the energy of the target state. This improvement is enough to render adiabatic evolution useful for quantum state preparation for small systems or as a preconditioner for other state preparation methods.

description: Declarative process modelling languages focus on describing a process by restrictions over the behaviour, which must be satisfied throughout the whole process execution. Hence, they are well suited for modelling knowledge-intensive processes with many decision points. However, such models can be hard to read and understand, which affect the modelling and maintenance of the process models tremendously as well as their execution. When executing such declarative (multi-perspective) process models, it may happen that the execution of activities or the change of data values may result in the non-executability of crucial activities. Hence, it would be beneficial to know all consequences of decisions to give recommendations to the process participants. A look-ahead attempts to predict the effects of executing an activity towards possible consequences within an a priori defined time window. The prediction is based on the current state of the process execution, the intended next event and the underlying process model. While execution engines for single-perspective imperative process models already implement such functionality, execution approaches, for multi-perspective declarative process models that involve constraints on data and resources, are less mature. In this paper, we introduce a simulation-based look-ahead approach for multi-perspective declarative process models. This approach transforms the problem of a context-aware process simulation into a SAT problem, by translating a declarative multi-perspective process model and the current state of a process execution into a specification of the logic language Alloy. Via a SAT solver, process trajectories are generated that either satisfy or violate this specification. The simulated process trajectories are used to derive consequences and effects of certain decisions at any time of process execution. We evaluate our approach by means of three examples and give some advice for further optimizations.

description: High-field electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements have been performed on vesignieite BaCu$_3$V$_2$O$_8$(OH)$_2$, which is considered as a nearly ideal model substance of $S$=1/2 kagome antiferromagnet, in the temperature region from 1.9 to 265 K. The frequency region is from 60 to 360 GHz and the applied pulsed magnetic field is up to 16 T. Observed g-value and linewidth show the increase below 20 K, which suggest the development of the short range order. Moreover, a gapless spin liquid ground state is suggested from the frequency-field relation at 1.9 K.

Relationships of Beef Cattle Temperament with Feedlot Performance
Creators: name: Briscoe, Jeffrey James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: This study determined relationships between beef cattle temperament and their feedlot performance. Thirty-five Angus cross-bred steers and heifers (18 steers and 17 heifers) were placed in the Utah State University feedlot to take part in the feed trial. Cattle temperament was measured by a chute score (CS, ranging from 1 = calm and not moving to 5 = rearing and violently struggling) and flight speed. Flight speed was measured by two observers to determine how long the animal took to travel 12 feet from the exit of the squeeze chute. Feedlot performance was assessed by body weight (BW) measurements, average daily gain (ADO) and feed efficiency. Individual daily feed intake was measured as well. Temperament scores were taken at the animal's introduction to the feedlot and at 28 day intervals throughout the trial. A total of 7 different BW measurements and temperament scores were included in this trial. As time progressed, all temperament measurements decreased. Across all three measurements day 0 was significantly higher than day 168 (P < 0.0001). Within heifers there was a negative correlation between daily feed intake and three time points. Weight was different between sex class with steers weighing an average of 108.5 lbs more than heifers (P=0.0027) on day 168. Daily feed intake (P=0.089) and average daily gain (P=0.007) differed between the sexes, but feed efficiency did not (P=0.983). Results of this study indicate that there is not a significant difference in temperament, but there was a difference between sexes in weight. Correlation results indicate that heifer temperament may have greater implications for daily feed intake in comparison with steers.

The Affordable Care Act: Five Years Later

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The challenges facing the American health care system are well known and manifold. The United States pays substantially more for its health care than any other developed, industrialized nation. Per capita health care spending in 2012 was $8,745, up from $356 in 1970 without marked improvements in life expectancy, quality of life, or outcomes. But despite all of our health spending, large portions of our population go without health insurance. Being uninsured carries real consequences. A report published in the American Journal of Public Health, by researchers at Harvard Medical School, using statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that more than 45,000 people die every year because they cannot get access to health care - more than drunk driving and homicide combined. Cost is the biggest reason why people go without health insurance. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA-also known by both its proponents and detractors as Obamacare), was the most comprehensive health reform in nearly 50 years seeking to address both the uninsured problem and out-of-control health spending. This paper will examine the ACA's success in decreasing the uninsured rate with an analysis of its accompanying impact on costs in the market most affected by the law - the individual or non-group market.

Computational modelling of a category 5 hurricane loading event on a complex biocomposite canopy structure : an integrated CFD-FEM case study
Creators: name: Mills, Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Often when hurricanes make landfall, they destroy civil and electrical infrastructure, leaving communities without critical resources for lengthy periods of time. As climate change causes hurricanes to increase in frequency and intensity, development in coastal areas must consider hurricane resilience. This research has determined the resilience and robustness of an architecturally unique and geometrically complex structure designed for electrical and civil infrastructural applications when subjected to category 5 (CAT 5) hurricane conditions. A history of hurricanes impacting The Bahamas and how their characteristics can be modeled is briefly reviewed. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to characterize the loads (shear stress and pressure loading) induced by a CAT 5 hurricane on the structure. The CFD software used in this research is OpenFOAM. The mean wind direction of the hurricane relative to the structure which causes the most severe loading was tested and determined. Both steady and unsteady CFD methods were used to identify the magnitude of loading. Both wind and storm surge loading conditions are considered in the analysis. The wind conditions were modelled using the upper limit of possible CAT 5 wind profiles. The storm surge conditions were modelled after the infamous storm surge profile caused by the 2019 tropical cyclone, Hurricane Dorian, as it passed over The Bahamas. The structural response of the structure under the identified loads are evaluated via an uncoupled finite element analysis (FEA) approach. The FEA solver Abaqus was applied to test the complex structure’s robustness and resilience to severe hurricane loading. The material considered in the FEA model was a proprietary composite material specifically designed for this application. The work presented will show that it is possible to design geometrically complex structures using emerging biocomposite materials and accurately model them using computer aided engineering (CAE) to ensure their resiliency to natural disasters. The findings suggest that the modeled structure is robust under CAT 5 hurricane wind loading.
Quality of State Attorneys' Oral Arguments in Supreme Court Litigation
Creators: name: Johnson, Kaylee
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: In my thesis, I evaluate the conventional wisdom that attorneys representing state governments performed poorly in oral arguments before the Supreme Court. This led the National Association of Attorneys General in 1982 to create the Supreme Court Clearinghouse Project. The project was implemented in an effort to improve the quality of states' efforts before the Court. Pulling from Justice Blackmun's ratings of attorneys in oral arguments, I conduct a quantitative analysis to determine whether such efforts actually led to an improvement in states' performance in Supreme Court litigation. I take the 1,142 cases in which states were involved from 1970-1993 and record Justice Blackmun's ratings of all state attorneys. I employ general data on oral argument quality to then compare with Blackmun's ratings of state attorneys specifically. I then compare the average performance of state attorneys before and after the Clearinghouse Project was implemented in 1982. The evidence suggests that state attorneys, as predicted, perform poorly in comparison to the general average of all attorney scores, but that there was not any improvement in the quality of oral arguments following 1982. The results indicate an important shift in the way we evaluate 1) state attorneys' oral argument performance before the Court, 2) the importance of those oral arguments to state success before the Supreme Court, and 3) the effectiveness of the efforts to improve that performance.
The Influence of Prior Motor Actions on Motor Planning in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Creators: name: Cummins, Daisha Lynn
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Studies have found children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have a rigidity of motor plans and difficulties planning and executing movements. Children with ASD also exhibit repetitive behaviors such as nail biting and rocking back and forth. When planning for movements, repetitive behaviors might manifest as difficulty in formulating new or switching between different motor plans. In typically developing individuals, actions are often influence by recently performed motor actions. We sought to determine if this influence was stronger in children with ASD.
A rotation motor task was created to evaluate the rigidity of motor planning of five children with ASD (7-10 years old). A control group, consisting of 5 age-matched participants was also tested. The participant sat across from the researcher. In successive trials, a wooden rod was placed in a different orientation around a circle grid system containing 24 positions. The orientation rotated either counterclockwise or clockwise around the 24 positions. The experimenter revealed the rod to the participant, and asked the child to return it to a home position. Researchers measured the orientation at which the child switched the thumb orientation ( e.g. thumb pointing towards black) in both the clockwise and counterclockwise direction.
While moving the stick clockwise, the peak switch (the switch where the sum of all children switched grasps) occurred later for children with ASD than neurotypical children. Children with ASD also switched their grasp position less frequently than neurotypical children. The results of this study suggest that changing a grasp was more costly than being comfortable while performing the action in children with ASD than in neurotypical children.

description: Five hundred twenty-three preservice teachers from six different preparation programs completed the diversity and multicultural perspectives portion of the Professional Teaching Knowledge and Skills Survey (PTKSS) to determine their feelings of multicultural efficacy at the end of their program and again after their first year of teaching. Statistical analysis revealed that preservice teachers rate their capability to teach diverse students as "adequate" to "well" on a 5 point Likert type scale (M=35.28, possible Range=0-50), with no significant drop in self-efficacy after one year of teaching (M=34.09). However, individual item means did drop consistently between the preservice and inservice stages, and there were some statistically significant differences between ratings of self-efficacy depending on which preparation program participants attended.

A real-world approach to in-vitro lung epithelial cell toxicology of atmospheric air pollutants : from lab to field
Creators: name: Pham, Cynthia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Exposure to atmospheric air pollution is a major global health risk, recognized through a combination of epidemiological and toxicological studies. This thesis includes a literature review of various models used to study air pollution toxicology, including in-vivo and in-vitro models, and discusses the findings from a range of controlled laboratory experiments. To date and to the best of our knowledge, our understanding of the toxicological effects of air pollution is often limited to controlled laboratory experiments that do not truly represent the ambient air we breathe where complex reactions occur and where mixtures exist. This thesis reviews the directions for ambient study, summarizing studies using archived ambient pollutant samples and the limited number of direct ambient exposures. With varying exposure characteristics and timelines, this thesis aimed to create a generalizable framework to deploy a cell air-liquid-interface (ALI) exposure instrument, namely the Cultex®-RFS, in a mobile laboratory (the Portable Laboratory for Understanding human-Made Emissions, PLUME Van) using human lung epithelial cells, specifically A549 cells, to investigate the direct effects of the exposure to ambient air pollution, focussing on the Greater Vancouver area in British Columbia, Canada. The cell exposure instrument mentioned is coupled with real-time analytical instruments; including standard gas analyzers (CO, NOx, O3; Teledyne T300U and 2B Technologies Models 714 and 205), and particle sizers and counters covering the inhalable particulate matter size range (fast mobility particle sizer (FMPS, TSI 3091), water condensation particle counter (WCPC, TSI 3789)); all within a mobile setting. With these instruments within the PLUME van, there are enhanced possibilities for the exploration of the health effects of real-world pollutants. Here, we discuss results of a case-study looking at a several ambient air conditions both with and without the influence of transported-wildfire pollutants in Vancouver, BC along with the comparison to laboratory-generated woodsmoke exposures. The work of this thesis sets the precedent for future assessments to understanding air pollution toxicology under atmospheric conditions, allowing us to better inform policies and regulations for mitigating health effects and improving environmental health.

description: Muon spin spectroscopy measurements have been used to study the superconducting state of FeTe0.5Se0.5. The temperature dependence of the in-plane magnetic penetration depth, lambda_ab(T), is found to be compatible with either a two gap s+s wave or an anisotropic s-wave model. The value for lambda_ab(T) at T=0 K is estimated to be lambda_ab(0)=534(2)nm.

Right Hand Fork Pedestrian Bridge Final Report
Creators: name: Gibbons, Ren

description: Right Hand Fork is a tributary canyon whose stream enters the Logan River nine miles east of the mouth of Logan Canyon near Logan, Utah. The access bridge to a popular recreational area, the Hobbit Caves, was damaged in 2011 by flooding. We propose that a new bridge be designed and constructed for the Forest Service to replace the current structure to ensure public safety and minimize environmental impact. We plan to use a longer bridge span that will situate the abutments higher on the stream bank and reduce possible water damage during flood events. Bridge costs will be minimized and will meet required construction and aesthetic standards required by the Forest Service.
The current bridge is a 15-foot timber span placed on existing earth footings. High runoff discharges in 2011 caused the northern earth abutment to shear and settle due to scour. The bridge span now sags at approximately 20°. While still usable, the bridge's structural integrity has been compromised, and the footing will presumably continue to settle until the bridge fails. Figure 1 shows the extent of the damage done to the bridge.
We have completed a topographical survey and hydrological report to determine the best location for the structure to prevent future water damage. We performed structural analysis and design for a safe and cost-effective replacement pedestrian bridge. We independently prepared a steel bridge and a timber bridge design. The preferred alternative for structural materials is a 40-ft timber glulam girder span and Gabion foundations. We propose that construction will begin as early as fall 2015. We also propose biannual inspections beginning once construction is complete to ensure proper maintenance and a 50-year life as required by the Forest Service.
Developing a Portable System for Measuring Human Motor Learning

description:
Point-to-point reaching is a commonly used paradigm in the field of human motor control. By studying how people move their arms from one location in space to another, researchers have gained insight into how the central nervous system controls and learns skilled movement. Many experimental methods that are designed to study reaching are not portable. This makes it difficult for researchers to access certain clinical populations with limited mobility or motor dysfunction. We have addressed this issue by developing a point-to-point reaching system that can capture key movement variables (e.g. speed and accuracy) yet is portable and inexpensive. We have developed this system with MATLAB software and MaKey MaKey hardware, a commercially-available, single-board microcontroller. Participants will reach with a metal stylus to and from targets on a tabletop made of aluminum foil (i.e. point-to-point reaching). Our current prototype system counts and time-stamps when the stylus touches each aluminum target, then exports these data to a continuously updating log in Microsoft Excel. In addition to the low cost and portability of this system, it allows the experimenter to adjust the reaches' difficulty without modifying the data acquisition code by simply changing the size, number, and/or distance between the targets. Our next step is to pilot this system in a motor learning study in which participants repetitively reach from point to point as training.
