description: —Genetic programming (GP) has been successfully used to evolve routing policies that can make real-time routing decisions for uncertain arc routing problems. Although the evolved routing policies are highly effective, they are typically very large and complex, and hard to be understood and trusted by real users. Existing studies have attempted to improve the interpretability by developing new GP approaches to evolve both effective and interpretable (e.g., with smaller program size) routing policies. However, they still have limitations due to the tradeoff between effectiveness and interpretability. To address this issue, we propose a new post-hoc explanation approach to explaining the effective but complex routing policies evolved by GP. The new approach includes a local ranking explanation and a global explanation module. The local ranking explanation uses particle swarm optimization to learn an interpretable linear model that accurately explains the local behavior of the routing policy for each decision situation. Then, the global explanation module uses a clustering technique to summarize the local explanations into a global explanation. The experimental results and case studies on the benchmark datasets show that the proposed method can obtain accurate and understandable explanations of the routing policies evolved for uncertain arc routing problems. Our explanation approach is not restricted to uncertain arc routing, but has a great potential to be generalized to other optimization and machine learning problems, such as learning classifier systems and reinforcement learning.

description: 1802. a taasavatud Dorpati (praegu Tartu) ülikooli arstiteaduskonnas ei näinud antropoloogia õpetamist ette ei ülikooli asutamise plaan (kinnitatud 1799) ega esimesed õppekavad (1802, 1803). Vaatamata sellele luges patoloogia, semiootika, teraapia  ja kliiniku korraline professor D. G. Balk teiste õppeainete hulgas ka meditsiinilis-filosoofilise antropoloogia loenguid arstiteaduskonna üliõpilastele neli tundi nädalas. Loengute pidamiseks kasutas ta 1790. a Leipzigis ilmunud Königsbergi ülikooli professori J. D. Metzgeri õpikut “Medizinisch-Philisophische Anthropologie für Aerzte und Nichtaerzte”. Tartu ülikool oli omaaegsetest vana impeeriumi ülikoolidest esimene, kus hakati arstiteaduskonna üliõpilastele õpetama antropoloogiat.

description: We have studied a sample of Large Magellanic Cloud red giant binaries that lie on sequence E in the period--luminosity plane. We show that their combined light and velocity curves unambiguously demonstrate that they are binaries showing ellipsoidal variability. By comparing the phased light and velocity curves of both sequence D and E variables, we show that the sequence D variation -- the Long Secondary Period -- is not caused by ellipsoidal variability. We also demonstrate several further differences between stars on sequences D and E. These include differences in velocity amplitude, in the distribution of eccentricity, and in the correlations of velocity amplitude with luminosity and period. We also show that the sequence E stars, unlike stars on sequence D, do not show any evidence of a mid-infrared excess that would indicate circumstellar dust.

description: We propose an immersed boundary scheme for the numerical resolution of the Complete Electrode Model in Electrical Impedance Tomography, that we use as a main ingredient in the resolution of inverse problems in medical imaging. Such method allows to use a Cartesian mesh without accurate discretization of the boundary, which is useful in situations where the boundary is complicated and/or changing. We prove the convergence of our method, and illustrate its efficiency with two dimensional direct and inverse problems.
Making Place: Mediated Attention in Expanded Landscape Photography

Subjects: classificationCode: 360604
subject: Photography, video and lens-based practice

description: Making Place is a series of point clouds as expressions from my correspondence with the Maribyrnong River and volumetric imaging technology. The work responds to a sense of becoming within place and photography.

The research investigates the entanglements of practitioner, environment, and technology in expanded landscape photography. Through a creative practice-based approach, it examines how photo imaging tools mediate my attention to the landscape and how experimental interventions generate new ways of performing, discovering, and perceiving it. The research generates a methodology that renegotiates the relations between practitioner, landscape, and technology by treating them as co-constituting correspondents, offering a non-representational strategy that explores new vectors of making and critique within expanded landscape photography.

While a mutual unfolding of attention and practice is established in mediation theory, it remains underexplored in a creative photography context. By disrupting my existing landscape photography practice and incorporating photogrammetry, this research extends mediation theory by developing an original series of point cloud artworks through a novel and productive creative methodology for making place.

description: We develop a Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory describing the hydrodynamics of a fluid with conserved charge and dipole moments, together with conserved momentum. The resulting hydrodynamic modes are highly unusual, including sound waves with quadratic (magnon-like) dispersion relation and subdiffusive decay rate. Hydrodynamics itself is unstable below four spatial dimensions. We show that the momentum density is, at leading order, the Goldstone boson for a dipole symmetry which appears spontaneously broken at finite charge density. Unlike an ordinary fluid, the presence or absence of energy conservation qualitatively changes the decay rates of the hydrodynamic modes. This effective field theory naturally couples to curved spacetime and background gauge fields; in the flat spacetime limit, we reproduce the "mixed rank tensor fields" previously coupled to fracton matter.

description: We investigate the X-ray properties of the K-band-selected galaxies at redshift 2 < z < 4 by using our deep near-infrared images obtained in the MOIRCS Deep Survey project and the published Chandra X-ray source catalog. 61 X-ray sources with the 2-10 keV luminosity L_X = 10^{42}-10^{44} erg/s are identified with the K-selected galaxies and we found that they are exclusively (90%) associated with the massive objects with stellar mass larger than 10^{10.5} Msun. Our results are consistent with the idea that the M_BH/M_str ratio of the galaxies at z=2-4 is similar to the present-day value. On the other hand, the AGN detection rate among the very massive galaxies with the stellar mass larger than 10^{11} Msun is high, 33% (26/78). They are active objects in the sense that the black-hole mass accretion rate is ~ 1-50% of the Eddington limit if they indeed have similar M_BH/M_str ratio with those observed in the local universe. The active duration in the AGN duty cycle of the high-redshift massive galaxies seems large.

Mouse knockout models also show no-significant changes to male fertility, and appear to have no significant effect on the survival of both sexes. Such genes are promising candidate genes for various mammalian gene drive systems targeting female fertility, for the purposes of population management.

Observational studies of Cepheid amplitudes. I - Period-amplitude relationships for Galactic Cepheids and interrelation of amplitudes

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Aims: We attempt to revise the period-amplitude (P-A) relationship of Galactic Cepheids based on multi-colour photometric and radial velocity data. Reliable P-A graphs for Galactic Cepheids constructed for the U, B, V, R_C, and I_C photometric bands and pulsational radial velocity variations facilitate investigations of previously poorly studied interrelations between observable amplitudes. The effects of both binarity and metallicity on the observed amplitude, and the dichotomy between short- and long-period Cepheids can both be studied. Results: Large amplitude Cepheids with companions exhibit smaller photometric amplitudes on average than solitary ones, as expected, while s-Cepheids pulsate with an rbitrary (although small) amplitude. The ratio of the observed radial velocity to blue photometric amplitudes, A_V_RAD/A_B, is not as good an indicator of the ulsation mode as predicted theoretically. This may be caused by an incorrect mode assignment to a number of small amplitude Cepheids, which are not ecessarily first overtone pulsators. The dependence of the pulsation amplitudes on wavelength is used to identify duplicity of Cepheids. More than twenty stars previously classified as solitary Cepheids are now suspected to have a companion. The ratio of photometric amplitudes observed in various bands confirms the existence of a dichotomy among normal amplitude Cepheids. The limiting period separating short- and long-period Cepheids is 10.47 days. Conclusions: Interdependences of pulsational amplitudes, the period dependence of the amplitude parameters, and the dichotomy have to be taken into account as constraints in modelling the structure and pulsation of Cepheids. Studies of the P-L relationship must comply with the break at 10.47 instead of the currently used `convenient' value of 10 days.

description: The reflectivity of a highly localized magnetic inhomogeneity is experimentally studied. The inhomogeneity is created by a dc-current carrying wire placed on the surface of a ferrite film. The reflection of propagating dipole-dominated spin-wave pulses is found to be strongly dependent on the spin-wave frequency if the current locally increases the magnetic field. In the opposite case the frequency dependence is negligible.

We find an explicit formula of this correspondence, in terms of the strong homotopy inner products and negative cyclic cohomology of A. We prove that an equivalence class of the induced strong homotopy inner product depends only on the given negative cyclic cohomology class. Also, we extend such a correspondence to the case of gapped filtered A-infinity algebras.

description: We combine datasets from the CGM$^{2}$ and CASBaH surveys to model a transition point, $R_{\rm cross}$, between circumgalactic and intergalactic media (CGM and IGM, respectively). In total, our data consist of 7244 galaxies at z < 0.5 with precisely measured spectroscopic redshifts, all having impact parameters of 0.01 - 20 comoving Mpc from 28 QSO sightlines with high-resolution UV spectra that cover H I Ly$α$. Our best-fitting model is an exclusionary two-component model that combines a 3D absorber-galaxy cross correlation function with a simple Gaussian profile at inner radii to represent the CGM. By design, this model gives rise to a determination of $R_{\rm cross}$ as a function of galaxy stellar mass, which can be interpreted as the boundary between the CGM and IGM. For galaxies with $10^8 \leq M_{\star}/M_{\odot} \leq 10^{10.5}$, we find that $R_{\rm cross}(M_{\star}) \approx 2 \pm 0.6 R_{\rm vir}$. Additionally, we find excellent agreement between $R_{\rm cross}(M_{\star})$ and the theoretically-determined splashback radius for galaxies in this mass range. Overall, our results favor models of galaxy evolution at z < 0.5 that distribute $T \approx 10^{4}$K gas to distances beyond the virial radius.

description: This paper studies the one-way communication complexity of the subgroup membership problem, a classical problem closely related to basic questions in quantum computing. Here Alice receives, as input, a subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$; Bob receives an element $x \in G$. Alice is permitted to send a single message to Bob, after which he must decide if his input $x$ is an element of $H$. We prove the following upper bounds on the classical communication complexity of this problem in the bounded-error setting: (1) The problem can be solved with $O(\log |G|)$ communication, provided the subgroup $H$ is normal; (2) The problem can be solved with $O(d_{\max} \cdot \log |G|)$ communication, where $d_{\max}$ is the maximum of the dimensions of the irreducible complex representations of $G$; (3) For any prime $p$ not dividing $|G|$, the problem can be solved with $O(d_{\max} \cdot \log p)$ communication, where $d_{\max}$ is the maximum of the dimensions of the irreducible $\F_p$-representations of $G$.

description: A nonmodal kinetic theory of the stability of the two-dimensional compressed-sheared mesoscale plasma flows, generated by the radially inhomogeneous electrostatic ion cyclotron parametric microturbulence in the pedestal plasma with a sheared poloidal flow, is developed. This theory reveals that the separate spatially uniform Fourier modes of the electrostatic responses of the ions and of the electrons on the mesoscale convective flows are determined only in the frames of references moved with velocities of the ion and electron convective flows. In the laboratory frame, these modes are observed as the compressed-sheared modes with time dependent wave numbers. The integral equation, which governs the separate Fourier mode of the electrostatic potential of the plasma species responses on the mesoscale convective flows, is derived. In this equation, the effects of the compressing and shearing of the convective flows are revealed as the time dependence of the finite ion Larmor radius effect. The solution of this equation for the kinetic drift instability displays the nonmodal transformation of the potential to the zero frequency cell-like perturbation when time elapsed.

description: In 1891, Utah State University began offering a two-year business course to its students. With this early beginning, Utah State Claims the second oldest business school west of the Mississippi River. In 1900, the School of Commerce was organized. It was not until 1956, the beginning year for this study, that the College of Business and Social Studies came into being.
Prior to 1956, the only majors available to business students were Business Administration and Business Management. In 1957, Accounting, Industrial Management, and Merchandising majors were offered. The department began to expand and diversify the curriculum. Changes were made to modernize the department and bring it closer to the structure of leading business schools throughout the nation. The major of Business Administration was dropped in 1960, since it was felt that this course of study was too general for today's business student. The year 1960 also saw the course offerings in Merchandising become streamlined. Some courses were dropped and new courses added, and the name of this major was changed to marketing. In 1961, the majors of Business Management and Industrial Management were dropped from the curriculum and the new major of Production Management replaced them in 1962. In 1962, Finance and Personnel majors were also added to bring the department to its present form.

We inject and detect magnon spins non-locally by Pt contacts and monitor the non-local resistance as a function of an in-plane magnetic field up to 7 Tesla. We observe a non-local resistance over distances up to at least a micron below the Neel temperature (T$_{\rm N}$ = 38 Kelvin) close to magnetic field strengths that saturate the sublattice magnetizations.

title: Ecological Studies of Native Green River Fishes Below Flaming Gorge Dam, 1964-1966
Creators: name: Vanicek, Charles David
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Investigations to study (1) the species composition and distribution of Green River fishes between Flaming Gorge Dam and Ouray, Utah and (2) the ecology and life history of selected native species (Colorado squafish, Ptychocheilus lucius; Colorad chub, Gila robusta; bluehead sucker, Pantosteus delphinus; and humpback sucker, Xyrauchen texanus) in Dinosaur National Monument were conducted from May, 1964, to October, 1966. A total of 23,735 fish consisting of 9 indigenous and 11 exotic species, were taken in 639 collections by electrofishing gear, gill nets, seines, and fry gear. Flaming Gorge Dam has caused a major change in the ecology of the downstream Green River by alteration of seasonal flow and water temperature patterns as far as the mouth of the Yampa River, 65 miles below the dam. As a result, native fish populations particularly in the first 26 miles below the dam, have been largely replaced by introduced rainbow and brown trout (Salmo gairdneri and S. trutta). Below the Yampa River mouth, fish populations were similar to those reported here during the pre-impoundment years. Age and growth determinations were made from scales from 167 Colorado squawfish and 333 Colorado chubs. Both species grew slower in the years after dam closure (1963-1965) than before (1955-1962). The bonytail form of the Colorado chub grew slightly faster than the roundtail form. Length-frequency analyses of young Colorado squawfish, Colorado chubs, and bluehead suckers described seasonal growth of the first three year classes and provided evidence that these species reproduced successfully in Dinosaur National Monument every year since impoundment. During years of high summer discharge from the dam with resultant lower water temperatures (1964 and 1966), no reproduction of any native fishes was found above the mouth of the Yampa River. No juvenile humpback suckers were collected during the study. The roundtail and bonytail forms of the Colorado chub had significantly different length-weight relationships. Squawfish over 200 mm total length were entirely piscivorous, while shorter squawfish consumed microcrustaceans and aquatic insects. The diet of the Colorado chub consisted largely of aquatic and terrestrial insects.
title: A Study of the Natural Rubber Industry, with Special Reference to Thailand
Creators: name: Vayagool, Suratana
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: The relative share of natural rubber in the world's total rubber consumption had been decreasing from 75 percent in 1948- 1949 to 44.4 percent in 1965. Since the production of natural rubber has been rising over the same period , some predictions have been made indicating that there will be a surplus of production over consumption of natural rubber in the near future.
In the world output of natural rubber industry, Thailand ranks third, being surpassed only by Malaysia and Indonesia. Of all the exports of Thailand, rubber ranks second in value and is exceeded only by rice. Almost all of the rubber plantations are less than 8 acres in size and the prewar stock will give a low yield.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate such predictions. An attempt is also made to show that the rising relative share of synthetic rubber in the world's total rubber consumption has been primarily due to the inability of the producers of natural rubber to increase supply in pace with the increasing demand for rubber and with the technological advances in the synthetic rubber industry.
The study revealed that the United States and Western Europe can be expected to continue to exercise a great influence in the future rubber market as the industrial consumers absorb nearly 50 percent of the world's total rubber consumption. In addition, the United States is expected to play a vital role as the major producer of synthetic rubber, which appears to be a critically important fact or in determining the future prospects regarding the demand for natural rubber.
It is concluded that the techniques of replanting and new planting or both, using the best available high yielding clones would enable natural rubber producers to reduce the cost of production enough to meet the keen price competition from synthetic rubber. In the face of the threatening competition from synthetic rubber, the success of the natural rubber industry may be measured by the extent of realization of effective and unremitting efforts by the natural rubber industry.
The future of the natural rubber industry in Thailand, then, depends first on how fast production could be stepped up; secondly how fast the cost of production could be reduced by replanting with high yielding clone; and thirdly on the world price of natural rubber.
The projection of natural rubber production during the year 1970 indicates that all rubber produced will be sold. Synthetic rubber will be used to meet excess demand for new rubber during this period. But some surplus of the natural rubber will occur during the year 1975. The future of the natural rubber industry depends to a large degree on lowered costs of production with replanting and planting with high yielding trees, and improving the quality and marketing.
In conclusion, the planting scheme now being undertaken in the natural rubber producing countries, will be of advantage not only at the present but also in the future.
title: Teacher's Attitudes and Teacher's and Student's Knowledge of Alcohol and Alcoholism in Selected Utah High Schools
Creators: name: Gibbons, LaDawn Anderson
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: A comparison of teacher's attitudes and teacher's and student's knowledge of alcohol and alcoholism were studied in nine selected high schools in Utah.
It was found that some teachers knew important positive facts about alcohol and alcoholism, but when personal obligations were written into "attitude" questions, their responses changed.
Some health and driver education teachers were poorly informed on the subject of alcohol and alcoholism. Some important facts known by teachers were either being deleted from instruction on alcohol or not being communicated very well.
In some schools it appears that students are learning about alcohol and alcoholism from other sources than their health classes-even though they ranked their health classes as their best source of information about alcohol.
title: Systemic Studies of the Genus Gila (Cyprinidae) of the Colorado River Basin
Creators: name: Holden, Paul Bernard
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: Three Hundred and nine specimens of Gila from the Colorado River basin were studied. A form of numerical taxonomy, taximetrics, was used to help classify the specimens. The data from these fish indicate that many of the present hypotheses concerning their taxonomy are not valid. The concept of ecosubspecies or ecological subspecies does not fit the Colorado basin Gila. The roundtail and bonytail chubs, G. robusta Baird and Girard and G. elegans Baird and Girard respectively, currently treated as subspecies, are well separated morphologically, ecologically and reproductively and therefore are better considered two valid species. The relationship between G. cypha Miller and G. elegans is clouded by the presence of what appear to be intergrade forms. Future investigations are needed to piece together the puzzle surrounding these two fish. The subspecies name seminuda (Cope and Yarrow), presently attributed to fish from throughout the Colorado basin, more correctly is allied to the robusta of the Virgin River. Preliminary study indicates this population may be sufficiently different to warrent subspecies recognition. No specimens of G. robusta intermedia (Girard) were examined but the literature suggests this form may also be a valid species.

description: In this paper, we analyze the results of neutral-beam current drive (NBCD) experiments, performed in the TJ-II stellarator, with the aim of validating the theoretical predictions. Both parallel and anti-parallel injection with respect to the magnetic field were explored using co (NBI1) and counter (NBI2) beams at different injected beam power and plasma densities. The fast-ion current driven by both beams was simulated with the Monte Carlo code ASCOT and the electron response to the fast-ion current was calculated analytically using a model valid for an arbitrary magnetic configuration and a low collisionality plasma. The model reproduces with rather good agreement the toroidal current measured in NBI2 plasmas while the current driven by NBI1 is less than half the predicted one. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

description: It is well known that phonons can overscreen the bare Coulomb electron-electron repulsion, turning it into the effective attraction that binds the Cooper pairs responsible for BCS superconductivity. Here, we use a simple lattice model to prove that the counterpart of this is also possible, whereby phonons overscreen the bare electron-hole attraction and may turn it repulsive at short distances, driving exciton dissociation in certain regions of the parameter space. We argue that this phonon-mediated short-range screening plays an important role in the physics of organic solar cell materials (and other materials with strong electron-phonon coupling) and could point the way to new strategies for optimizing their efficiencies.

Lieb lattices and pseudospin-1 dynamics under barrier- and well-like electrostatic interactions

description: This work considers the confining and scattering phenomena of electrons in a Lieb lattice subjected to the influence of a rectangular electrostatic barrier. In this setup, hopping amplitudes between nearest neighbors in orthogonal directions are considered different, and the next-nearest neighbor interaction describes spin-orbit coupling. This makes it possible to confine electrons and generate bound states, the exact number of which is exactly determined for null parallel momentum to the barrier. In such a case, it is proved that one even and one odd bound state is always generated, and the number of bound states increases for non-null and increasing values of the parallel momentum. That is, bound states carry current. In the scattering regime, the exact values of energy are determined where the resonant tunneling occurs. The existence of perfect tunneling energy in the form of super-Klein tunneling is proved to exist regardless of the bang gap opening. Finally, it is shown that perfect reflection appears when solutions are coupled to the intermediate flat-band solution.

description: Using an AKARI multi-wavelength mid-infrared (IR) survey, we identify luminous starburst galaxies at z> 0.5 based on the PAH luminosity, and investigate the nature of these PAH-selected starbursts. An extragalactic survey with AKARI towards the north ecliptic pole (NEP), the NEP-Deep survey, is unique in terms of a comprehensive wavelength coverage from 2 to 24um using all 9 photometric bands of the InfraRed Camera (IRC). This survey allows us to photometrically identify galaxies whose mid-IR emission is clearly dominated by PAHs. We propose a single colour selection method to identify such galaxies, using two mid-IR flux ratios at 11-to-7um and 15-to-9um (PAH-to-continuum flux ratio in the rest-frame), which are useful to identify starburst galaxies at z~0.5 and 1, respectively. We perform a fitting of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from optical to mid-IR wavelengths, using an evolutionary starburst model with a proper treatment of radiative transfer (SBURT), in order to investigate their nature. The SBURT model reproduces observed optical-to-mid-IR SEDs of more than a half of PAH-selected galaxies. Based on the 8um luminosity, we find ultra luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) among PAH-selected galaxies. Their PAH luminosity is higher than local ULIRGs with a similar luminosity, and the PAH-to-total IR luminosity ratio is consistent with that of less luminous starburst galaxies. They are a unique galaxy population at high redshifts and we call these PAH-selected ULIRGs "PAH-luminous" galaxies. Although they are not as massive as submillimetre galaxies at z~2, they have the stellar mass of >3x10^{10} Msun and therefore moderately massive.

description: Luuvalu on lastel väga levinud. Sümptomite kompleks, mida kirjeldatakse “kasvuvaluna”, esineb erinevate autorite andmetel isegi kuni pooltel kasvueas lastest (1). Sellised lapsed lähevad tavaliselt väsitava päeva järel voodisse, kuid ärkavad sääre- või reiepiirkonna valu tõttu. Valu läheb üle kas iseenesest või masseerides. Hommikul ärgates on laps täiesti terve, ei lonka ning arstlik läbivaatus ei tuvastata kõrvalekaldeid.

description: Ultraheli abil saab määrata ateroskleroosi varajasi tunnuseid, nagu endoteeli halvenenud funktsioon ning unearterite ja perifeersete arterite seinte paksenemine.  Intima-media paksuse määramine ultraheliga on ohutu ning hea reprodutseeritavusega meetod nii ateroskleroosi varajaste muutuste kui tema progresseerumise hindamiseks. Selle meetodi peamine eelis on lihtsus ja kiirus.
