description: Seven neonates, ranging from 28 to 31 weeks were studied, utilizing the Litton transcutaneous Po-2 oxymonitor, in an attempt to determine the relationship between transcutaneous Po-2 (minute to minute variability) and varying degrees or stages of respiratory distress syndrome.  Primary physiological pulmonary data--transcutaneous Po-2 was recorded for two data collections periods, corresponding to different degrees/stages of respiratory distress syndrome.  Each collection period lasted one hour with transcutaneous Po-2 recorded every minute (60 seconds), for a total of one hour.  The central tendency measure utilized in this study to yield values describing the  entire distribution, was the mean of transcutaneous Po-2 minute to minute readings for both data collection periods.  There were no substantial inferences or relationsips seen between the lesser or greater degree/stages of respiratory distress syndrome and the mean transcutaneous Po-2 of each subject.  Variances about the mean process were calculated for each subject at both collection periods.  In addition, the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used in order to test whether overall (all subjects), variance of greater degrees/stages of respiratory distress syndrome were significant less, then the variance of the lesser degree/stages of respiratory distress syndrome of vice versa (p ~ .039).  first order autocorrelation (P) was calculated, to determine, if possible, the pattern of dependence of each measurement in the previous transcutaneous Po-2 of successive pairs.  Autocorrelation was indeed a factor with values of P ranging from .497 - .960, compared to a positive correlation of one.  Autocorrelation for subjects 5 and 7 increased substantially from the lesser degree of respiratory distress syndrome (subject 5, =  .497; subject 7, = .951),  Both of these subject died.  Because of the positive autocorrelation found in this study, this author concludes that in order to determine the significance of transcutaneous Po-2 minute to minute variability and respiratory distress syndrome, a more indepth study utilizing 30 or more subjects and a time series model, would be needed to account for all variables encountered in the study.

description: Currently, there are no sustainable solutions available to meet the increasing demand for grid scale energy storage. Solar to fuel conversion has the potential to curb our dependence on natural gas and costly storage technologies by recycling waste products into chemical fuels. A realistic device must be efficient, scalable, and inexpensive, which is a combination not yet achieved. Plasmonic devices could meet these criteria given their long lifetime, scalable processing methods, and potential for efficiency improvements. By combining uniquely structured plasmonic metals with stable metal oxides, hot electrons can be harvested to drive difficult chemical reactions. Silver nanowires were used as light absorbers because of their unique morphology, yielding broader visible light absorption. To form the nanowires, silica-surfactant composite mesostructures were formed inside cylindrical anodic alumina nanopores. The silica mesostructures were then used to synthesize the unique silver nanowires using AC electrodeposition. Scanning electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy were used to characterize the nanowires. Nanowires with unique structures were made to absorb light in the visible spectrum. With the ability to create silver nanowires in different morphologies, we hope to find that the plasmonic effect is amplified due to increased surface area of the nanowires. This could result in a plasmonic device with increased efficiency, bringing us one step closer to finding a sustainable solution to the increasing demand for grid scale energy storage.

Osteoarthritis
Joint position sense

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a slow progressing degenerative joint disease affecting approximately 10% of the United States population. The incidence of OA increases with age due to the continual loading of the knee joint throughout life and is one of the main causes of chronic pain and disability in the aging population. As the elderly population continues to grow rapidly, the financial burden of this musculoskeletal disorder also increases, and with the prevalence of OA estimated to increase by 57% by the year 2020, the economic and health impact will also grow significantly. Knee OA is a high risk factor for falls in the older population. Optimal neuromuscular function is critical in order to prevent the further development and/or progression of this degenerative disease. Further, joint positioning and control are pertinent to coordination of maneuvers during functional activities and reducing the risk of falls. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a 12-week home exercise intervention program on joint position sense in patients with knee OA. Five radiographically diagnosed knee OA patients were recruited to participate in the study (1 male, 4 female; age 63.20 ± 8.93 years; mass 71.40 ± 11.76 kg; height 164.85 ± 4.25 cm). Pre-testing included bilateral testing of each participant's knee joint position sense using a Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer. Participants then completed a 12-week home exercise intervention program. Post-testing was identical to pre-testing and occurred at the end of the 12-week intervention. Healthy control participants (without any lower extremity OA, injury, surgery, or other complication) also completed pre-testing. It was anticipated that knee joint position sense would significantly improve in knee OA patients after the 12-week home exercise intervention iii program and healthy control participants would show greater joint position sense measures than knee OA patients during pre-testing with an age-related decrease in knee joint position sense observed among the healthy control participants. There was no statistically significant difference between pre-test data and post-test data for either the affected or unaffected knees of knee OA patients, no statistically significant difference between knee OA patients and healthy control subjects on pre-test data for either affected or unaffected knees, and no statistically significant difference between the different age categories (p>0.05). The preliminary findings in our study are currently inconclusive towards how a home exercise intervention program affects knee joint position sense in patients with knee OA. Future continuations of this study accounting for the limitations will be conducted to more accurately determine the effects of a home exercise intervention program on the knee joint position sense of knee OA patients.
On the effective number of climate models

Climate forecasting

description: Projections of future climate change are increasingly based on the output of many  different models. Typically, the mean over all model simulations is considered as the  optimal prediction, with the underlying assumption that different models provide  statistically independent information evenly distributed around the true state. However,  there is reason to believe that the assumption of model independence is unfounded.  Coupled models are of comparable complexity and are constructed in similar ways. Some  models share parts of the same code and some models are even developed at the same  center. This contributes to the well-known problem of common model biases and,  consequently, to a reduced spread amongst different predictions.  This study attempts to quantify the extent of this problem by asking how many  models there effectively are. Determining the effective number of models is achieved by  evaluating 24 state-of-the-art models and their ability to simulate broad aspects of 20th  century climate. Using two different methods, we quantify the amount of unique  information in the ensemble and find that the effective ensemble size is much smaller  than the actual number of models. As more models are included in an ensemble, the  amount of new information diminishes in proportion. We further find that this reduction  goes beyond the problem of "same-center" models and that systemic similarities exist  across all models. Our results suggest that current methodologies for the interpretation of  multi-model ensembles may lead to overly confident climate predictions.
Dynamics, locality and weak measurements: trajectories and which-way information in the case of a simplified double-slit setup

description: Understanding how the interference pattern produced by a quantum particle in Young's double-slit setup builds up -- the "only mystery" of quantum mechanics according to Feynman -- is still a matter of discussion and speculation. Recent works have revisited the possibility of acquiring which-way information based on weak measurements. Weak measurements preserve the interference pattern due to their minimally perturbing character while still leading to a final position detection. Here we investigate a simplified double-slit setup by including weakly coupled pointers. We examine how the information provided by the weak pointers can be interpreted to infer the dynamics within a local picture through "weak trajectories". We contrast our approach with non-local dynamical accounts, such as the modular momentum approach to weak values and the trajectories defined by the de Broglie-Bohm picture.

Development of an assay for modulating anti-acetylcholine autoantibodies using a human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line

Pathophysiology

description: Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular transmission at the synaptic junction. A polyclonal autoantibody response is elicited against the acetylcholine receptors (AChR) of skeletal muscle that either blocks or eliminates the AChR.   MG is estimated to affect between 50 to 125 million people worldwide. The three types of autoantibodies directed against the AChR that are detectable in patients with MG are binding, blocking and modulating. Each autoantibody is characterized by its functional interaction with the AChR. Modulating autoantibodies correlate best with the severity of the disease, but measurement of these antibodies is technically difficult and generally requires the use of primary human muscle cell cultures. An assay to determine the extent of AChR modulation using a rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line was developed to replace the use of live primary human muscle cell cultures.  The cell surface AChR expression in RD cells was stimulated by decreasing the concentration of FetalClone 111 serum from 10% to 0.5% in Eagles Essential Medium (EMEM) thereby increasing the sensitivity of the assay. The extent of modulation was determined as the percent of AChR internalized in the presence or absence of modulating autoantibodies. Normal human serum resulted in less than 6 % modulation (N=42). When 105 clinical samples were assayed in our laboratory and at Nichols Institute, a correlation coefficient of 0.816 was obtained. Intraassay and interassay precision studies were also performed resulting in less than 20% variation.  Due to several important factors - the utilization of RD cells, an increased number of AChR on the cell surface of the RD cells that resulted from a reduced concentration of FetalClone III, elimination of all bovine serum during the assay and the high specific activity of the U5I-butx - small amounts of modulating autoantibodies were detectable. These improvements allowed for the development of a modulating assay that can be used in clinical laboratories for the diagnosis and management of MG patients.

description: In the early twentieth century field biologists from the University of California Museum of Vertebrate Zoology conducted vertebrate faunal surveys throughout the Great Basin region. Over the past several years we have been conducting resurveys of many of the localities visited by MVZ scientists. Our resurvey of the Toiyabe Range of central Nevada revealed the presence of the Pinyon mouse, Peromyscus truei. This species was not recorded in the Toiyabes during the original survey of 1930-31, but in our recent survey the species was widespread and abundant. The appearance of P. truei is correlated with the expansion of the pinyon-juniper woodland plant community, which is its primary habitat. The regional expansion of single-leaf pinyon, Pinus monophylla, is very evident through comparisons of landscape photographs taken by the original surveyors in 1930 and photographs taken from the recent surveys. Our aim is to understand the nature of the pinyon expansion over the past 80 years through dendrochronology techniques using tree cores obtained from pinyon in the area. The correlation of tree ring patterns with climate data reveal the conditions favorable to recruitment and growth of trees and allow us to assess the relative importance of climate warming as a factor behind pinyon expansion. Understanding the causes behind such dramatic habitat shifts and the associated changes in small mammal assemblages has important implications for conservation and management of biotic communities in the Great Basin.

description: Theoretical arguments as well as observations of young stellar objects (YSO) support the presence of a diversified circumstellar environment. A stellar jet is thought to account for most of the stellar spin down and disk wind outflow for the observed high mass loss rate, thus playing a major role in the launching of powerful jets. RY Tau, for instance, is an extensively studied intermediate mass pre-main sequence star. Observational data reveal a small scale jet called microjet. Nevertheless, it is not clear how the microjet shapes the jet observed at a large scale. The goal is to investigate the spatial stability and structure of the central jet at a large scale by mixing the stellar and disk components. We mix two existing analytical self-similar models for the disk and the stellar winds to build the initial set-ups. Instead of using a polytropic equation of state, we map from the analytical solutions, the heating and cooling sources. The heating exchange rate is controlled by two parameters, its spatial extent and its intensity. The central jet and the surrounding disk are strongly affected by these two parameters. We separate the results in three categories, which show different emissivity, temperature, and velocity maps. We reached this categorization by looking at the opening angle of the stellar solution. For cylindrically, well collimated jets, we have opening angles as low as 10 degrees between 8 and 10 au, and for the wider jets, we can reach 30 degrees with a morphology closer to radial solar winds. Our parametric study shows that the less heated the outflow is, the more collimated it appears. We also show that recollimation shocks appear consistently with UV observations in terms of temperature but not density.

description: Wake up America! You are not important and have been removed  from the political process. You live in a spectator democracy in  which participation is discouraged and the means of information  are kept narrowly and rigidly controlled. Corporate Conglomerates  have become the true elite, a powerful few who run the Country.  The role of the public has become that of consumer to these  corporations - we are to be kept uninformed and disinterested  in issues of importance, but given tax breaks to purchase more.  Mainstream media - the vehicle for corporate advertising - has  become diluted and unintelligible, significant public broadcasting  is near extinction. As of 1983 there were around fifty entities that  controlled U.S. media. As of 2004 the number had been reduced  to six: Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch News Corp, Bartelsmann  of Germany, Viacom, and GE. This media consolidation is possibly  the greatest threat to our democracy since communism - it is a  greater threat than terrorism or ‘liberalism', yet the story gets no  coverage. In 2006 the organization Reporters without Borders  rated the United States as having the 53rd freest press in the  world. In their 2002 rankings the U.S. was 17th. This decline is  just another result of the corporate siege upon our media. The  media as we know it is the catalyst for the corporate control we  see in this country.
Plasma membrane cholesterol homeostasis

subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: The level of free intracellular cholesterol is strictly controlled by a wellcharacterized set of homeostatic mechanisms. In contrast, the mechanisms that control the intracellular distribution of sterols between various membranes within the cell are poorly understood. The majority (>95%) of cellular cholesterol resides in the plasma membrane and in endocytic vesicles derived from the plasma membrane. Here I describe my work designed to elucidate the mechanisms by which this intracellular distribution is developed and maintained. In Chapter 1, I review what is known about the intracellular distribution of cholesterol and the transport mechanisms that maintain these distributions. In Chapter 2, I describe the characterization of NPC fibroblasts, which have a defect in the transport of LDL-derived cholesterol from the endo/lysosomal compartment to the plasma membrane. I also describe the development and use of an assay to measure this transport process in vitro
Emergency room experiences of suicide attempters

Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: This was a descriptive study of how individuals who attempted suicide viewed the care they received in the emergency room of a general hospital.  One hundred fifty subjects were selected from the medical records of the University Hospital of the University of Utah Medical Center.  A questionnaire was sent to the 34 individuals who agreed to participate in the study.  The questionnaire contained 12 questions and asked the respondents to give information specifically about their emergency room experiences.  Only 18 of the total 150 subjects completed and returned the questionnaire.  Literature on suicide attempters states that everyone who attempts suicide needs further psychiatric help. However, for the most part, these individuals are brought to the hospital for emergency care and then discharged without further treatment or follow-up. Follow-up case is the exception rather than the rule, even though it is the policy of many hospitals to recommend further help.  If the literature is correct, it must be assumed that the group of suicide attempters identified in this study should have had further psychiatric help.  A survey to determine whether or not such help was offered was part of the purpose of this study.  It was further intended to learn if the patients received any help after their release from the hospital, and, if so, what kind of help, and, if not, what the reasons were.  The survey inquired as to how adequate the patients felt their emergency care was by doctors, nurses, and attendants.  The patients were asked in what ways they felt they could have been made to feel more comfortable and better cared for, what the most helpful things done for them were and by whom, whether they would have preferred being admitted to the hospital rather than being released after their emergency care, if a visit by a professional person in their home would have been helpful, and whether or not they had had any recurring feelings like those which led to their suicide attempt.  Patients were asked if they were currently receiving psychiatric help, and, if not, if they would like help if it were available.  It was believed that in order to give the best nursing care to other individuals under similar circumstances, it would be important to learn what the individuals in this study were thinking at the time they were given emergency care at the hospital, how they viewed their experience in the emergency room, and how they felt about the experience several months afterward.  In this sample, about 33% of the respondents did not obtain further help.  It should be a matter of concern to all mental health workers to know more about all suicide attempters who do not seek help.  Interest in determining why they did not seek further help should precede efforts to help them receive it, and was the further purpose of this study.

description: There is no doubt that we live in a highly mediated culture, more and more images are readily available to us. We view them instantaneously as events are unfolding on our computers, tablets, cellphones, as well as in newspapers and on television. We are constantly barraged and influenced by images from advertisements to news sources; and from television to hollywood films. Photography, and the photographic image, has been the most important tool through which we convey narratives of commercial and cultural significance. We have given meaning to the world around us through the lenses of our cameras. We have created a visual culture that has a great impact on how we view ourselves and the conventions through which we describe our own personal narratives. The objective of my new photographic series, 36 Frames, is to explore the images that have become iconic over my lifetime. In researching for source material starting from 1976 to 2012, the scope of the project, I started to react to the images in an unexpected way. On one hand, the images were full of emotion, whether humorous, sad, disturbing or joyful, depending on what the pictures were depicting. On the other hand, there was a flattening that occurred as the pictures were dislocated in time and physical space, a cycle of images culled from the depths of the Google image archive. The pictures were unmoored from their original context and meaning and my experience of viewing them was of a passive disassociation. I reacted to this feeling by creating an alter ego, Jean Meursault, a time traveling tourist who casually experiences past mediated events by popping into frame with an uncanny sense of timing. Meursault's journey is documented in photographic images and travel diary entries that heighten a feeling of disconnection and alienation. To keep 36 Frames: A Self Portrait synonymous with an experience of history through mediation, the series is being presented as a gallery show, a self published book, magazine, and downloadable e-book, as well as a social media experiment in which Jean Mearsualt has a travel blog, Facebook page and Instagram account in order to mirror the devices and ways in which we experience the media today.
Structural and material changes in the sheep radius from newborn to adult: Functional adaptation versus developmental constraint

description: Bones that exhibit marked changes in structural and material characteristics during ontogeny are potentially useful for studying the mechanisms that produce functional adaptations. The diaphyseal region of the sheep radius was examined because it is relatively simply loaded in cranial-caudal bending (net tension in cranial cortex and net compression in caudal cortex). Newborn, 4-5 month, 8-10 month, and 2- year-old animals (n=36 total) were examined for: (1) longitudinal curvature, (2) crosssectional shape, and major and minor axes of second moments of area, and (3) regional variations in cortical thickness, mineralization (percent ash), and predominant collagen fiber orientation (CFO). Longitudinal curvature was highly developmentally constrained, changing little from newborn to adult. By contrast, from newborn to 4-5 months the cross-sectional shape changed from quasi-annular to elliptical (relatively narrowed in cranial-caudal (Cr-Cd) direction). Cr-Cd cortical thickness also changed: the Cd "compression" cortex was thicker in newborns but the Cr "tension" cortex became disproportionately thicker by 4-5 months and this persisted in adults. By 4-5 months age, a marked Cr-Cd CFO difference and a less marked mineralization difference also emerged. Because CFO and mineralization only weakly correlated with cortical thickness, and Cr-Cd load predictability (which has cardinal importance in ensuring an adequate whole-bone safety factor) can readily be ensured by longitudinal curvature and Cr-Cd narrowing, the emergence of CFO and mineralization variations likely represent functional ("extra-genetic") adaptations at the local level, especially for the relatively more deleterious tension strains. Without these histocompositional adaptations the potentially adverse consequences (e.g., microdamage formation) of Cr-Cd load predictability would likely lead to failure (fracture) of the bone during normal use.

Evaluation of the quality of contemporary ray tracing methods on architectural materials
Creators: name: Meier, John E
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Ray tracing algorithms

description: Predictive computer graphics can be used to visualize the appearance of an object or scene from a virtual design. A seminal experiment in that field was performed in 1984 to evaluate the perceptual quality of computer graphics images with a physical model of the scene. The original study was limited to ideally diffuse surfaces and simple geometry, with the greatest flaw being the artificially diffuse surface materials of a type rarely found in real scenes. Although subsequent work extended graphics algorithms to handle more complex environments and materials, comparisons of later results to a physical standard were scarce. This study attempts to recreate the original experiment in a more general setting using materials commonly found in real scenes. A physical scene was constructed using standard interior architectural materials, including carpet, a ceiling tile, and an incandescent light bulb, and photographed for use as a standard of comparison. A synthetic image of the same scene was rendered using Kajiya-style path tracing, a physically-based variant of the traditional ray casting algorithm, to simulate the effects of global illumination on micro-faceted geometry and directionally reflective materials lit by a hemispherical area light source. The resulting real and artificial images of the scene are presented together and subjectively analyzed to determine promising directions for further research on rendering common materials, and to comment on the legitimacy of ray tracing as a method for photorealistic image synthesis.
Beyond classical: mixing in the belt. An exploration of musical theatre singing

Subjects: Voice type (Singing)

description: Belt, mix and classical are three terms for distinguishing the different sounds used in musical theatre vocal repertoire. Each requires different techniques regarding resonance space, vowels, laryngeal position, and breath management. For years, there has been a debate among vocal pedagogues questioning the risk of belt and mix singing. Through my journey at the University of Utah in the BFA Musical Theatre Program, I was interested in demystifying the assumptions and questions presented about belt and mix technique, and defining those sounds in my own voice. I documented my personal discoveries gained through private instruction, at-home experimentation, comments from competition judges, and inspiration from peers, to provide a detailed overview of each technique. In this thesis I discuss the varying opinions on each and compare the outside sources with my own experience. In musical theatre, it is vital for the female singer to acquire maximum proficiency in each register to broaden her marketability, overall vocal health, and opportunities in the industry.
Nurses' experiences of spirituality within nurse-client encounters

Subjects: Manpower

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the nature of spiritual experiences as they occurred in the context of nurse-client encounters. The research questions were as follows: (a) What are the elements of nurses' spiritual experiences that occur within the context of nurse-client encounters? (b) What are the meanings of these spiritual experiences for the lives of nurses, including their nursing practice? Six female registered nurses residing in Alberta were interviewed in their homes in an open-ended, audiotaped format. Each participant was asked to describe experiences of spirituality that had occurred within a nurse-client encounter and discuss the meanings of these experiences for her life and nursing practice. The interviews were analyzed according to the Giorgi phenomenological method. The analysis yielded 17 situated descriptions of spiritual experiences and 3 descriptions of cumulative meanings of spiritual experiences. These descriptions were examined to identify nine common constituents which were reduced to context-free elements and synthesized to a general description of nurses' spiritual experiences within nurse-client encounters. The nine elements were as follows: openness to the possibility and reality of spiritual experiences; recognition of spiritual experience within everyday nursing practice; communion with and information from The Spirit; connectedness with client, others, nature, the universe or The Spirit; physical sensations; timelessness; infusion with positive feelings; derivation of meanings related to self and The Spirit, life in general and nursing practice; and need for support from friends and/or colleagues. The general description suggested that nurses have spiritual experiences within their practice.

Creators: name: Negley, Levi Herman
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: American poetry

description: Songs After America depends upon the fact that each song was written in the order  in which it appears. By emerging in a chronological series, each song plays an equally  projective role that results in a consequence or effect. One of these effects is sound.  Sound generates sound by reverberation and echo, and this activity creates polyphony.  The concern of this book is with building the only company any of us wants to keep, a  company of love. If this project has any courage whatsoever, it is not because of its  wanting love, but its seeking after it. These songs must be innocent and honest, because  if they are not, as the grail legend reminds us, the object of their quest will disappear. So,  as E. Dickenson tells us in the epigraph, there is no time to stop because this is a business  of love, and the business of love is urgent.  It is this urgency I am attempting to explore, the urgency that makes life a life of  love and love a life of possibility. Love, being possible, will eventually multiply until it  is abundant and various, like the imagination, a large thing that can grow larger. The  imagination needs room, a space for the new and ever-expanding heart of the mind. Love  and imagination headed west, and the songs in this book followed.  Songs After America is simply a record to say this happened-America is  happening-we followed it here. Regardless of politics, America remains a home for the  imagination, a wild place that finds its light not in the setting sun but at the horizon toward which our sun sets. This book, I hope, reminds our heroes that they still have a  place to go.
The 1968 election and the birth of the contemporary presidential nomination process
Creators: name: Burt, Zachary
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Democratic National Convention - 1968

description: The 1968 election was a landmark election in American political history. In the summer of 1968, Vice President Hubert Humphrey was nominated by the Democratic Party. This nomination was controversial, and the Democrats' summer convention was chaotic and infamous. Humphrey gained the nomination due to his strong ties to the political establishment of the Democratic Party. He was selected by party bosses and insiders, rather than by the rank and file. Unlike his main competitors, Eugene McCarthy and Robert F. Kennedy, Humphrey did not contest a single primary. However, Humphrey's selection was not that unusual. For over a century, the Democratic and Republican parties had been selecting their nominees at national political conventions. Nonetheless, many people thought it was time for change, as the events at the 1968 Democratic National Convention illustrated. In the wake of the convention, and Humphrey's defeat in the general election that fall, the Democratic Party began reforming its presidential nomination process. Into the 1980s, several reform commissions were established. The most notable commission was the McGovern-Fraser Commission. The Republicans reformed their process as well, but the Democrats moved towards reform first, as well as made the most extensive reforms. The 1968 election and the subsequent reforms brought about, although inadvertently, the contemporary primary-centered presidential nomination process. This thesis examines the 1968 election and why that nomination and the reforms that followed are so instrumental to the modern primary process.
Functional changes in vaginal musculature associated with pregnancy
Creators: name: Brockman, Mary Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Vaginal Muscle

description: The purpose of this study was, by us of Kegel's perineometer, to identify functional changes in vaginal musculature associated with pregnancy.  Pregnant women registered in the prenatal clinic of a 277 bed university medical center and under the care of private obstetricians were studied.  The sample consisted of five primigravid women who were less than 14 weeks pregnant at the beginning of the study.  Measurements of the vaginal musculature were obtained once during each trimester of pregnancy in an attempt to identify the occurrence of functional change.  The raw data suggested support of the hypothesis that, functional change occurs in vaginal musculature throughout the course of pregnancy.  However, statistical analysis of the data failed to support the hypothesis.  Statistical correlations among variables brought to light some fascinating and unexpected data concerning the influence of age, height, and weight upon the vaginal muscle measures.  Failure to statistical analysis to support the hypothesis may be attributable to the small number of study subjects (5).

A proposed alternate mechanism of action for theophylline
Creators: name: Kumar, Manju Taneja
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013

description: The methylxanthines; caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine have several pharmacological actions, of which, their ability to relax bronhcial smooth muscle has great value in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Theophylline is the most effective of the methylxanthines in this regard. Clinically, it is either used alone or in combination with beta-adrenergic agonists. The pharacological basis of this combination depends on the ability of these two classes of drugs to increase the intracellular concentration of 3', 5' cyclic-AMP.  The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether theophylline causes a substantial increase of plasma E and NE to justify this evaluation as an alternate mechanism of action for theophylline. Speically, this study was designed to; 1.) Quantify the release of plasma catecholamines after theophylline challenge in normal subjects; 2.) Compare this rise in plasma catecholamines after theophylline of placebo administration and; 3.) Document relationships between plasma theophylline levels and plasma catecholamines.
Almighty banjo
Creators: name: Poole, Jessy Jay
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: American fiction

description: The Almighty Banjo is a novel in which the main characters, Chris and Lisa, must confront their shared past after a twenty-five year separation. Thus the narrative occurs in two different times; a weekend in the near present, and a several-year period in the distant past. In the near present Chris is occupied with the simple goal of cleaning up his house and repainting a room. This is a task that most people would face with a sense of drudgery, but for Chris, a lay-about who would prefer to live exclusively in the past, it is the most significant thing he's undertaken in decades. The project is all the more challenging for him because he is in a poor health and highly dependant on pain medication. For help with the labor he turns to his somewhat estranged daughter, Rose. While helping her father Rose depends on her mother, Lisa, for transportation, a place to stay, and  help making sense of what has happened to her father. This forces Lisa to examine a time in her life which she refused to look back on for fear that she would see something she missed.  As both Chris and Lisa look back on the rise and fall of their relationship they see a world ignited by the objects they remember. When they recall an  object, its color, its texture, its sound, the reality of the moment is recalled in a prose that stays true to the passion and agony of those times. Be it a costume mask, a kitchen appliance, or a banjo, the remembered object contains the secret  to defying the unilateral thrust of time. The twenty-five year gap that the narrative leaps across exists because of this inertia. It is what forces Chris toward his death at the end of the novel, and what forces Lisa to keep parts of herself closed. As the episodes both past and present come to life time's linear nature is  challenged. It becomes easier for the characters to cope with their mistakes, their lost joy, even their deaths by ranging freely within their experience.
