description: We report translocation experiments on double-strand DNA through a silicon oxide nanopore. Samples containing DNA fragments with seven different lengths between 2000 to 96000 basepairs have been electrophoretically driven through a 10 nm pore. We find a power-law scaling of the translocation time versus length, with an exponent of 1.26 $\pm$ 0.07. This behavior is qualitatively different from the linear behavior observed in similar experiments performed with protein pores. We address the observed nonlinear scaling in a theoretical model that describes experiments where hydrodynamic drag on the section of the polymer outside the pore is the dominant force counteracting the driving. We show that this is the case in our experiments and derive a power-law scaling with an exponent of 1.18, in excellent agreement with our data.

description: The $k$-ME concurrence as a measure of multipartite entanglement (ME) unambiguously detects all $k$-nonseparable states in arbitrary dimensions, and satisfies many important properties of an entanglement measure. Negativity is a simple computable bipartite entanglement measure. Invariant and tangle are useful tools to study the properties of the quantum states. In this paper we mainly investigate the internal relations among the $k$-ME concurrence, negativity, polynomial invariants, and tangle. Strong links between $k$-ME concurrence and negativity as well as between $k$-ME concurrence and polynomial invariants are derived. We obtain the quantitative relation between $k$-ME ($k$=$n$) concurrence and negativity for all $n$-qubit states, give a exact value of the $n$-ME concurrence for the mixture of $n$-qubit GHZ states and white noise, and derive an connection between $k$-ME concurrence and tangle for $n$-qubit W state. Moreover, we find that for any $3$-qubit pure state the $k$-ME concurrence ($k$=2, 3) is related to negativity, tangle and polynomial invariants, while for $4$-qubit states the relations between $k$-ME concurrence (for $k$=2, 4) and negativity, and between $k$-ME concurrence and polynomial invariants also exist. Our work provides clear quantitative connections between $k$-ME concurrence and negativity, and between $k$-ME concurrence and polynomial invariants.

description: We analyze the effect of seismic activity on sealevel variations, by computing the time-dependent vertical crustal movement and geoid change due to coseismic deformations and postseismic relaxation effects. Seismic activity can affect both the absolute sealevel, by changing the Earth gravity field and hence the geoid height, and the relative sealevel, i.e. the radial distance between seafloor and geoid level. By using comprehensive seismic catalogues we assess the net effect of seismicity on tidal relative sealevel measurements as well as on the global oceanic surfaces, and we obtain an estimate of absolute sealevel variations of seismic origin. Our results confirm that, on a global scale, most of the signal is associated with few giant thrust events, and that RSL estimates obtained using tide-gauge data can be sensibly affected by the seismic driven sealevel signal. The recent measures of sealevel obtained by satellite altimetry show a wide regional variation of sealevel trends over the oceanic surfaces, with the largest deviations from the mean trend occurring in tectonically active regions. While our estimates of average absolute sealevel variations turn out to be orders of magnitude smaller than the satellite measured variations, we can still argue that mass redistribution associated with aseismic tectonic processes may contribute to the observed regional variability of sealevel variations.

Digital Scripture: An Investigation of the Design and Use of a Mobile Application for Reading Sacred Text
Creators: name: Carpenter, Neil
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Digital sacred text reading is rapidly growing as digital devices such as mobile smartphones are becoming more common across the globe. Although sacred text can have strong influence on identify and behavior, the effects of a digital revolution on scripture reading practices are not well understood. In particular, current research literature indicates that more information is needed about the design and use of digital sacred text applications (apps) such as mobile Bibles across different religious groups or cultures. Therefore, this study builds upon and extends previous work to analyze a religious text app, Gospel Library, which is designed and largely used by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Data about the design of the app were collected by analyzing app store description text, conducting a technical app walkthrough, and interviewing current app design team members. Data about the usage of Gospel Library were collected by gaining permission from the design organization to access user analytic data collected during normal app operations. Results of the study show that this digital sacred text app is designed and used in ways that support religious or cultural reading values and norms. In particular, this study suggests that Latter-day Saints appear to value the King James Version of the English Bible and other unique religious text such as the Book of Mormon and General Conference sermons or messages. Results also suggest Latter-day Saints value church-wide directed scripture reading efforts situated in a culture of listening and receiving interpretation as opposed to social discussions of scripture. Furthermore, this study reports unique features or affordances that digital sacred texts can offer including audio capabilities, videos, search functions, sharing, highlighting, and other annotations. This study contributes to the research field of digital sacred text literacy by offering data gathered from an app design organization including interviews and user analytic data. It also adds to the broader conversation about religious literacy and digital versus print-based reading.

Uses and Challenges of Collecting LiDAR Data from a Growing Autonomous Vehicle Fleet: Implications for Infrastructure Planning and Inspection Practices
Creators: name: Rahman, Md Ashikur
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) that utilize LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and other sensing technologies are becoming an inevitable part of transportation industry. Concurrently, transportation agencies are increasingly challenged with the management and tracking of large-scale highway asset inventory. LiDAR has become popular among transportation agencies for highway asset management given its advantage over traditional surveying methods. The affordability of LiDAR technology is increasing day by day. Given this, there will be substantial challenges and opportunities for the utilization of big data resulting from the growth of AVs with LiDAR. A proper understanding of the data size generated from this technology will help agencies in making decisions regarding storage, management, and transmission of the data.
The original raw data generated from the sensor shrinks a lot after filtering and processing following the Cache county Road Manual and storing into ASPRS recommended (.las) file format. In this pilot study, it is found that while considering the road centerline as the vehicle trajectory larger portion of the data fall into the right of way section compared to the actual vehicle trajectory in Cache County, UT. And there is a positive relation between the data size and vehicle speed in terms of the travel lanes section given the nature of the selected highway environment.

description: We discuss properties of the quadrupole collective excitation of the deformed neutron-rich nucleus $^{38}$Mg within the framework of quasi-particle random phase approximation (QRPA). We first solve the coupled-channels equations to obtain the single-particle levels, and construct the ground state by treating the pairing correlations in the BCS approximation. We then solve the QRPA equation using the response function formalism, by including the continuum spectra with the box dicscretization method. We show that the collectivity of the gamma vibration (the lowest $K^π=2^+$ mode) is significantly enhanced if protons and neutrons have different deformations. We also discuss an attempt towards full continuum QRPA calculations for deformed nuclei.

Biomethanation and Alkaline Wet Air Oxidation of Water Hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes) from Ozama River, Dominican Republic
Creators: name: Castro, Yessica A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Obtaining valuable products from environmental remediation waste is a sustainable approach that contributes to the ecological well-being of developing countries. In the present work, the feasibility of the water hyacinth anaerobic digestion as a post-weed management practice in the Ozama River (Dominican Republic) was demonstrated. The estimated energy required for harvesting was lower than that produced during digestion. The biomethanation of water hyacinth was improved by Alkaline Wet Air Oxidation (AWAO), a thermochemical pretreatment process that almost doubled the methane production rate and increased the yield by 24% when conducted at high temperatures. At lower temperatures, the methane yield of the AWAO water hyacinth was more than 40% higher than the unpretreated biomass. After subjecting water hyacinth to high temperature and low alkali AWAO, the addition of poultry litter biochar, a residue from thermochemical processing, improved the biomethanation kinetics of the system. This dissertation not only contains valuable information for the scale-up of the water hyacinth’s biomethanation as a biorefinery process in developed countries but also contributes to the development of sustainable 'from waste to product' technologies in developing countries like the Dominican Republic.

Substance Misuse Transitions Between Adolescence and Young Adulthood: Impacts on Young Adult Self-Sufficiency
Creators: name: Hagman, Amanda M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Substance misuse during the transition to adulthood can be problematic, but it is also socially celebrated. There can be negative short-term impacts associated with intoxication, but are there negative long-term impacts of substance misuse on the transition into adulthood?
Let us pause for a moment. Many individuals may have just glazed over thinking, “Adulthood? I’m not doing that any time soon.” But when you consider what qualifies individuals as adults, this research may seem more pertinent. Adults make their own choices. Adults take responsibility for those choices. Adults are financially independent. So, while the notion of adulthood may conjure images of the suburbs and stability, adulthood as actually the ability to be self-sufficient. Something we are all working towards.
This research looked at the young adult self-sufficiency outcomes between individuals who have patterns of substance misuse as they transition to adulthood and those who had minimal misuse. Specifically, we considered individuals who Matured-Out of substance use and individuals who continued to use. Continuing users were further divided into Continuing-Cannabis or Continuing-Illicit patterns.
For the most part, those who Matured-Out by young adulthood had similar developmental outcomes compared to those who did not misuse substances during the transition to adulthood. Those who continued to use cannabis or illicit substances into young adulthood, however, were less self-sufficient as young adults.
These findings have important implications for policies that promote cannabis legalization. As cannabis becomes increasingly available, policymakers and community leaders should have an eye on providing the necessary supports to help young adults gain self-sufficiency regardless of legalization status.

Optimising HEP parameter fits via Monte Carlo weight derivative regression

description: HEP event selection is traditionally considered a binary classification problem, involving the dichotomous categories of signal and background. In distribution fits for particle masses or couplings, however, signal events are not all equivalent, as the signal differential cross section has different sensitivities to the measured parameter in different regions of phase space. In this paper, I describe a mathematical framework for the evaluation and optimization of HEP parameter fits, where this sensitivity is defined on an event-by-event basis, and for MC events it is modeled in terms of their MC weight derivatives with respect to the measured parameter. Minimising the statistical error on a measurement implies the need to resolve (i.e. separate) events with different sensitivities, which ultimately represents a non-dichotomous classification problem. Since MC weight derivatives are not available for real data, the practical strategy I suggest consists in training a regressor of weight derivatives against MC events, and then using it as an optimal partitioning variable for 1-dimensional fits of data events. This CHEP2019 paper is an extension of the study presented at CHEP2018: in particular, event-by-event sensitivities allow the exact computation of the "FIP" ratio between the Fisher information obtained from an analysis and the maximum information that could possibly be obtained with an ideal detector. Using this expression, I discuss the relationship between FIP and two metrics commonly used in Meteorology (Brier score and MSE), and the importance of "sharpness" both in HEP and in that domain. I finally point out that HEP distribution fits should be optimized and evaluated using probabilistic metrics (like FIP or MSE), whereas ranking metrics (like AUC) or threshold metrics (like accuracy) are of limited relevance for these specific problems.

description: We propose a scheme to couple two superconducting charge or flux qubits biased at their symmetry points with unequal energy splittings. Modulating the coupling constant between two qubits at the sum or difference of their two frequencies allows to bring them into resonance in the rotating frame. Switching on and off the modulation amounts to switching on and off the coupling which can be realized at nanosecond speed. We discuss various physical implementations of this idea, and find that our scheme can lead to rapid operation of a two-qubit gate.

Effect of Dietary Short and Medium Chain Fatty Acids in Murine Lethal Sepsis Model
Creators: name: Dang, David Son
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Sepsis is defined as the presence of an infection in combination with systemic inflammation in a host. One of the detrimental results of sepsis is multiple organ failure which eventually leads to death. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an endotoxin that can be found on the outer surface of gram-negative bacteria, can be used as a model for sepsis. LPS present in the circulatory system of hosts can induce symptoms that are seen in patients during septicemia.
Previous studies have suggested that including milk fat in a diet may protect against a lethal dosage of LPS in rodents. Milk fat has a unique fatty acid composition in which approximately 20-30% is made up of short and medium chain fatty acids. Interestingly, studies have also indicated that medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil can also have a protective effect against LPS induced inflammation. The objective of this research was to determine if these dietary fatty acids, would have any effect against inflammation that is induced by LPS using an animal model.
Children's Determination of Gender Appropriateness of Clothing
Creators: name: Attaran, Malihe
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate gender distinctions made by children based on clothing styles in order to better understand gender-role development. Four objectives were addressed: (a) Do children, regardless of sex, differ in their determination of the gender appropriateness of clothing options? (b) Are there gender differences between children in determining the gender appropriateness of these clothing options? (c) In what ways does children's awareness of gender stereotypes relate to their determination of the gender appropriateness of clothing? and (d) How do children's sex and their determination of the gender appropriateness of clothing interact with their awareness of gender stereotypes?
Chi-square and ANOVA statistical techniques were used to analyze children's responses on the Gender Apparel Test and the Sex Role Learning Index and to analyze the interaction of sex of subject and GAT responses with respect to children's SERLI scores. Significant differences emerged in the children's determination of the gender appropriateness of Shirts and Pants. The results also indicated that males and females differed when determining the gender appropriateness of Footwear for girls.
Findings also revealed that two SERLI scores, the Opposite Sex-Role Discrimination and the Adult Sex-Role Preference, had no relevance for children's determination of the gender appropriateness of clothing. The results, however, indicated that the Own Sex-Role Discrimination and the Child Sex-Role Preference scores showed a significant effect when children determined appropriateness of Footwear for girls. The implications of current findings for parents, educators, and researchers are discussed.
$Λ$CDM as a Noether Symmetry in Cosmology

description: The standard $Λ$CDM model of cosmology is formulated as a simple modified gravity coupled to a single scalar field ("darkon") possessing a non-trivial hidden nonlinear Noether symmetry. The main ingredient in the construction is the use of the formalism of non-Riemannian spacetime volume-elements. The associated Noether conserved current produces stress-energy tensor consisting of two additive parts -- dynamically generated dark energy and dark matter components non-interacting among themselves. Noether symmetry breaking via an additional scalar "darkon" potential introduces naturally an interaction between dark energy and dark matter. The correspondence between the $Λ$CDM model and the present "darkon" Noether symmetry is exhibited up to linear order w.r.t. gravity-matter perturbations.

description: E865 at the Brookhaven National Laboratory AGS collected about 70,000 K+e3 events with the purpose of measuring the K+e3 branching ratio relative to the observed K+ ->pi+pi0, K+ -> pi0 mu+ neutrino, and K+ -> pi+ pi0 pi0 decays. The pi0 in all the decays was detected using the e+e- pair from pi0 -> e+e- gamma decay and no photons were required. Using the Particle Data Group branching ratios for the normalization decays we obtain BR(Ke3gamma) = (5.13 +- 0.02stat +- 0.09sys +- 0.04norm)%, where K+e3gamma includes the effect of virtual and real photons (inclusive measurement). This result is ~ 2.3 sigma higher than the current Particle Data Group value. The implications of this result for the Vus element of the CKM matrix, and the matrix's unitarity are discussed.

 HELLÉN (1950) erwähnt die Art als „nur aus Mitteleuropa und Schweden “ vorkommend. Er hat die von KROGERUS (1960) als „ Agrypon flaveolatum anomelas Grav. “ geführten Exemplare offenbar nicht gesehen. Das gilt auch für die oben genannten von ROMAN fehldeterminierten Tiere aus Sammatti. Sie wurden nach KROGERUS alle in Mooren im Süden Finnlands gesammelt. Das ist insofern bemerkenswert, weil A. anomelas bisher eher aus trockeneren Habitaten bekannt ist. Die Flugzeiten lagen zwischen dem 12. Juni und dem 4. Juli.
Der Fundort des letztgenannten Weibchens ist unklar. Möglicherweise stammt es aus dem holländischen Heino, denn es wurde von dem Niederländer H. TEUNISSEN determiniert.

description: Hub location problems have multiple applications in logistic systems, airways industry, supply chain network design, and telecommunication. In the hub location problem, a number of nodes should be selected as the hub nodes to act as the main distributors and other nodes are connected together by these hubs. The input flow to the hub nodes is very large so more often we face the congestion in the hub nodes that causes disturbances in the whole system. Also, we have different service rates which is another cause of disturbance and should be addressed by the models. This paper addresses these issues by providing a model that prevents congestion in the system. We incorporated queuing system in the p-median hub location problem by considering multiple server options and different service rates. CAB dataset (contains 25 US cities) was used in the implementation and our findings show the big impact of considering congestion on the hub location network design.
Quivers via anomaly chains

description: We study quivers in the context of matrix models. We introduce chains of generalized Konishi anomalies to write the quadratic and cubic equations that constrain the resolvents of general affine and non-affine quiver gauge theories, and give a procedure to calculate all higher-order relations. For these theories we also evaluate, as functions of the resolvents, VEV's of chiral operators with two and four bifundamental insertions. As an example of the general procedure we explicitly consider the two simplest quivers A2 and A1(affine), obtaining in the first case a cubic algebraic curve, and for the affine theory the same equation as that of U(N) theories with adjoint matter, successfully reproducing the RG cascade result.

description: Predicting and planning interactive behaviors in complex traffic situations presents a challenging task. Especially in scenarios involving multiple traffic participants that interact densely, autonomous vehicles still struggle to interpret situations and to eventually achieve their own mission goal. As driving tests are costly and challenging scenarios are hard to find and reproduce, simulation is widely used to develop, test, and benchmark behavior models. However, most simulations rely on datasets and simplistic behavior models for traffic participants and do not cover the full variety of real-world, interactive human behaviors. In this work, we introduce BARK, an open-source behavior benchmarking environment designed to mitigate the shortcomings stated above. In BARK, behavior models are (re-)used for planning, prediction, and simulation. A range of models is currently available, such as Monte-Carlo Tree Search and Reinforcement Learning-based behavior models. We use a public dataset and sampling-based scenario generation to show the inter-exchangeability of behavior models in BARK. We evaluate how well the models used cope with interactions and how robust they are towards exchanging behavior models. Our evaluation shows that BARK provides a suitable framework for a systematic development of behavior models.

The Combined Effects of Air Temperature, Wind, and Radiation on the Resting Metabolism of Avian Raptors
Creators: name: Hayes, Steven R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: American kestrels, Falco sparverius; red-tailed hawks, Buteo jamaicensis; and golden eagles, Aguila chrysaetos, were perched in a wind tunnel and subjected to various combinations of air temperature, wind, and radiation. Oxygen consumption was measured under the various combinations of environmental variables, and multiple regression equations were developed to predict resting metabolism as a function of body mass, air temperature, wind speed, and radiation load. Heat transfer analysis of the bird-thermal environment relationship was conducted to produce a biophysical model describing resting metabolism as a function of feather thermal conductance.
Because of differences in surface area to mass ratios and in average feather thicknesses among the three bird species, increases in metabolism due to wind ranged from non-linear in kestrels to linear in eagles. The relationship between wind speed and metabolic increase in red-tails was more linear than in kestrels. Wind speeds below 4.47 m sec-1 produced relatively greater increases in metabolism than wind speeds above 4.47 m sec-1. Changes in metabolism due to wind effects are discussed in terms of wind penetration of the feather coat and changes in boundary layer conditions. Ecological implications of cold weather conditions and their effect on kestrels are also discussed. Radiation produced linear decreases in metabolism at all wind speeds, and it extended the thermoneutral zone to lower air temperatures. Predictions of raptor resting metabolism based on multiple regression models and on heat transfer analysis were similar, but biophysical estimates paralleled actual values better than regression estimates.
title: Laser-induced transient absorption spectroscopy of phthalocyanine dyes
Creators: name: Stringer, Mark Richard
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1985

description: This work reports a further investigation into the spectroscopic properties of phthalocyanine dyes in solution. The technique of nanosecond kinetic spectrophotometry was applied, with excitation at both the fundamental ruby laser output wavelength (694 nm) and the second harmonic (347 nm); corresponding in energy to the first and second excited singlet states respectively of several of the phthalocyanine compounds. The resultant transient absorption spectra indicate that the same laser—induced intermediates — those that can be identified as the lowest excited states of singlet and triplet multiplicity — are produced following excitation at either wavelength. However, the transient response also displays a marked perturbation from that characteristic of a 'simple' energy redistribution process; a perturbation that is deduced to be a consequence of both the high intensity of laser excitation and the tendency of the phthalocyanine dyes to form molecular aggregates. Further evidence is proposed regarding the 'anomalous blue fluorescence' reported from this type of compound, with particular emphasis placed upon the need for a high degree of solute purity.

Characterizing Oligomeric State Changes of Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 1 as a Mechanism for Regulating Activity
Creators: name: Ortolano, Ariana N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: If you imagined a living cell as a factory, enzymes would be the workers with each individually performing a very specific and important job. If a job is not done correctly it could be detrimental to the performance of assembly lines and devastate a businesses’ existence. For enzymes, their jobs occur on a biological level by catalyzing reactions inside the cell, which can include altering another protein and the pathway it is involved in. Protein arginine methyltransferases, or PRMTs, is an example of an enzyme that modifies protein substrates. It does this by adding one or two methyl groups onto an arginine within a target proteins structure, which can alter the proteins function in a cell. This may include turning the substrate protein’s activity on or off, preventing or increasing interactions with other proteins, or altering the protein’s location in the cell.
Methylation performed by PRMTs in a cell influences critical cell processes such as DNA repair, transcriptional regulation, and RNA processing. Since PRMTs are integrated in many cell functions, it is not surprising that the malfunction of this enzyme can cause health issues such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. This means PRMTs are a suitable therapeutic target for treating diseased states, however further investigation of their mechanisms of function is required.

The Effects of Ethnic Identity and Family Obligations on Somatic Symptoms Among Latinx Emerging Adults
Creators: name: Lara, Jazmin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Somatic symptoms have been associated with psychological distress across different cultures and are used to diagnose depressive and anxiety disorders in the U.S. Across cultures, individuals with internalizing disorders may present with somatic symptoms outside of the diagnostic criteria, emphasizing the importance of these physical concerns. For example, Latinxs tend to endorse more somatic symptoms than White Americans, suggesting that different cultural aspects may contribute to the higher endorsement of somatic symptoms among Latinxs. However, not many studies have examined specific sociocultural factors that may be influencing somatic symptom report. This is especially true among emerging adults who are in a high-risk period for developing mental illness. This study examined how endorsement of traditional Latinx cultural values and ties to cultural identity related to somatic symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and general somatic distress. Participants were 472 college students between 18-25 years of age. Results showed a negative association between respect for family and negative mood, mainstream comfort and negative mood, as well as mainstream comfort and social concerns, such that higher levels of respect for family and comfort with U.S. mainstream culture were related to lower negative mood associated with depression. A similar pattern emerged where a higher endorsement of mainstream comfort was associated with lower social concerns, a facet of anxiety sensitivity. Finally, there was a significant negative association between respect for family and somatic symptoms, meaning that higher report of respect for family was associated with a lower report in general somatic symptoms that are not necessarily associated with depression or anxiety. The results from the study support previous research that has suggested that different sociocultural factors may be associated with somatic symptoms. This study extends these findings by providing evidence for Latinx young adults in higher education. Cultural values may serve as protective factors and may be important to consider in psychological assessment and treatment. The work from this project also shows the significance of integrative behavioral health, to ensure that all individuals get properly screened for mental health disorders when cultural variables may influence the expression of psychopathology that may not fit the typical mold.
