title: Private Forests in the Wildland-Urban Interface: Using Geographic Information Systems GIS to Identify Management Challenges in Eastern Washington, United States
Creators: name: Turnblom, Kevin W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Human activities have significantly altered forest conditions throughout Eastern Washington, United States, particularly in the wildland-urban interface where small acreage private landowners control a significant share of remaining forests. Focusing on Spokane County as a case study, this project used Geographic Information Systems, remotely sensed data, and property ownership information to estimate forest cover, identify private forest landowners in the wildland-urban interface, and measure vegetation changes between 1991 and 2011. Simplified reclassification of land cover yielded an estimated 315,268 acres (127,584 hectares) of forest in the county, approximately 28% of total land area. Forty-seven percent of forested land (149,236 acres - 60,393 hectares) is owned by 21,045 small forest landowners (defined here as individuals owning 2-180 acres). Change detection analysis using multi-temporal Landsat imagery measured slight increases in mean Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (+1.2 points) and mean Normalized Burn Ratio (+5.2 points). Visual comparison with aerial imagery suggested significant increases (>20 points) corresponded with forest growth or regeneration, while significant decreases (>20 points) corresponded with development or forest removal.

description: The Vrancea region, at the south-eastern bend of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, represents one of the most puzzling seismically active zones of Europe. Beside some shallow seismicity spread across the whole Romanian territory, Vrancea is the place of an intense seismicity with the presence of a cluster of intermediate-depth foci placed in a narrow nearly vertical volume. Although large-scale mantle seismic tomographic studies have revealed the presence of a narrow, almost vertical, high-velocity body in the upper mantle, the nature and the geodynamic of this deep intra-continental seismicity is still questioned. 
High-resolution seismic tomography could help to reveal more details in the subcrustal structure of Vrancea. Recent developments in computational seismology as well as the availability of parallel computing now allow to potentially retrieve more information out of seismic waveforms and to reach such high-resolution models. 
This study was aimed to evaluate the application of a full waveform inversion tomography at regional scale for the Vrancea lithosphere using data from the 1999 six months temporary local network CALIXTO. Starting from a detailed 3D Vp, Vs and density model, built on classical travel-time tomography together with gravity data, I evaluated the improvements obtained with the full waveform inversion approach. 
The latter proved to be highly problem dependent and highly computational expensive. The model retrieved after the first two iterations does not show large variations with respect to the initial model but remains in agreement with previous tomographic models. It presents a well-defined downgoing slab shape high velocity anomaly, composed of a N-S horizontal anomaly in the depths between 40 and 70km linked to a nearly vertical NE-SW anomaly from 70 to 180km.

description: The determination of the supernova (SN) rate is based not only on the number of detected events, but also on the properties of the parent galaxy population. This is the first paper of a series aimed at obtaining new, refined, SN rates from a set of five SN surveys, by making use of a joint analysis of near-infrared (NIR) data. We describe the properties of the 3838 galaxies that were monitored for SNe events, including newly determined morphologies and their DENIS and POSS-II/UKST I, 2MASS and DENIS J and Ks and 2MASS H magnitudes. We have compared 2MASS, DENIS and POSS-II/UKST IJK magnitudes in order to find possible systematic photometric shifts in the measurements. The DENIS and POSS-II/UKST I band magnitudes show large discrepancies (mean absolute difference of 0.4 mag), mostly due to different spectral responses of the two instruments, with an important contribution (0.33 mag rms) from the large uncertainties in the photometric calibration of the POSS-II and UKST photographic plates. In the other wavebands, the limiting near infrared magnitude, morphology and inclination of the galaxies are the most influential factors which affect the determination of photometry of the galaxies. Nevertheless, no significant systematic differences have been found between of any pair of NIR magnitude measurements, except for a few percent of galaxies showing large discrepancies. This allows us to combine DENIS and 2MASS data for the J and Ks filters.

description: We describe a quasi-optical multifrequency ESR spectrometer operating in the 75-225 GHz range and optimized at 210 GHz for general use in condensed matter physics, chemistry and biology. The quasi-optical bridge detects the change of mm wave polarization at the ESR. A controllable reference arm maintains a mm wave bias at the detector. The attained sensitivity of 2x10^10 spin/G/(Hz)1/2, measured on a dilute Mn:MgO sample in a non-resonant probe head at 222.4 GHz and 300 K, is comparable to commercial high sensitive X band spectrometers. The spectrometer has a Fabry-Perot resonator based probe head to measure aqueous solutions, and a probe head to measure magnetic field angular dependence of single crystals. The spectrometer is robust and easy to use and may be operated by undergraduate students. Its performance is demonstrated by examples from various fields of condensed matter physics.

description: After a review of symmetries and classical solutions involved in the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence, we apply a similar analysis to asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in 3 and 4 dimensions. In the spirit of two dimensional conformal field theory, the symmetry algebra of asymptotically flat spacetimes at null infinity in 4 dimensions is taken to be the semi-direct sum of supertranslations with infinitesimal local conformal transformations and not, as usually done, with the Lorentz algebra. As a first application, we derive how the symmetry algebra is realized on solution space. In particular, we work out the behavior of Bondi's news tensor, mass and angular momentum aspects under local conformal transformations.

The radio continuum perspective on cosmic-ray transport in external galaxies

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Radio continuum observations of external galaxies provide us with an excellent outside view on the distribution of cosmic-ray electrons in the disc and halo. In this review, we summarise the current state of what we have learned from modelling such observations with cosmic-ray transport, paying particular attention to the question to what extent we can exploit radio haloes when studying galactic winds. We have developed the user-friendly framework SPINNAKER to model radio haloes with either pure advection or diffusion, allowing us to study both diffusion coefficients and advection speeds in nearby galaxies. Using these models, we show that we can identify galaxies with winds using both morphology and radio spectral indices of radio haloes. Advective radio haloes are ubiquitous, indicating that already fairly low values of the star formation rate (SFR) surface density ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$) can trigger galactic winds. The advection speeds scale with SFR, $Σ_{\rm SFR}$, and rotation speed as expected for stellar feedback-driven winds. Accelerating winds are in agreement with our radio spectral index data, but this is sensitive to the magnetic field parametrisation, so that constant wind speeds cannot be ruled out either. The question to what extent cosmic rays can be a driving force behind winds is still an open issue and we discuss only in passing how a simple iso-thermal wind model could fit our data. Nevertheless, the comparison with inferences from observations and theory looks promising with radio continuum offering a complementary view on galactic winds. We finish with a perspective on future observations and challenges lying ahead.

description: We discuss the capability of a third-generation ground-based detector such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) to enhance our astrophysical knowledge through detections of gravitational waves emitted by binaries including intermediate-mass and massive black holes. The design target for such instruments calls for improved sensitivity at low frequencies, specifically in the ~ 1-10 Hz range. This will allow the detection of gravitational waves generated in binary systems containing black holes of intermediate mass, ~ 100-1000 solar masses. We primarily discuss two different source types -- mergers between two intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) of comparable mass, and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (IMRIs) of smaller compact objects with mass ~ 1-10 solar masses into IMBHs. IMBHs may form via two channels: (i) in dark matter halos at high redshift through direct collapse or the collapse of very massive metal-poor Population III stars, or (ii) via runaway stellar collisions in globular clusters. In this paper, we will discuss both formation channels, and both classes of merger in each case. We review existing rate estimates where these exist in the literature, and provide some new calculations for the approximate numbers of events that will be seen by a detector like the Einstein Telescope. These results indicate that the ET may see a few to a few thousand comparable-mass IMBH mergers and as many as several hundred IMRI events per year. These observations will significantly enhance our understanding of galactic black-hole growth, of the existence and properties of IMBHs and of the astrophysics of globular clusters. We finish our review with a discussion of some more speculative sources of gravitational waves for the ET, including hypermassive white dwarfs and eccentric stellar-mass compact-object binaries.

description: As a generalization of Postnikov's construction (see arXiv: math/0609764), we define a map from the space of edge weights of a directed network in an annulus into a space of loops in the Grassmannian. We then show that universal Poisson brackets introduced for the space of edge weights in arXiv: 0805.3541 induce a family of Poisson structures on rational-valued matrix functions and on the space of loops in the Grassmannian. In the former case, this family includes, for a particular kind of networks, the Poisson bracket associated with the trigonometric R-matrix.

description: We give a partonic interpretation for the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) measurements of the H1 and ZEUS collaborations in the small-x_B region in terms of generalized parton distributions. Thereby we have a closer look at the skewness effect, parameterization of the t-dependence, revealing the chromomagnetic pomeron, and at a model dependent access to the anomalous gravitomagnetic moment of nucleon. We also quantify the reparameterization of generalized parton distributions resulting from the inclusion of radiative corrections up to next-to-next-to-leading order. Beyond the leading order approximation, our findings are compatible with a `holographic' principle that would arise from a (broken) SO(2,1) symmetry. Utilizing our leading-order findings, we also perform a first model dependent dispersion relation fit of HERMES and JLAB DVCS measurements. From that we extract the generalized parton distribution H on its cross-over line and predict the beam charge-spin asymmetry, measurable at COMPASS.

description: We demonstrate impedance-matched low-loss transmission lines with a signal wavelength more than 150 times smaller than the free space wavelength using superconducting nanowires on high permittivity substrates. A niobium nitride thin film is patterned in a coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line geometry on a bilayer substrate consisting of 100 nm of epitaxial strontium titanate on high-resitivity silicon. The use of strontium titanate on silicon enables wafer-scale fabrication and maximizes process compatibility. It also makes it possible to realize a $50$ $Ω$ characteristic impedance across a wide range of CPW widths, from the nanoscale to the macroscale. We fabricated and characterized an approximately $50$ $Ω$ CPW device with two half-wave stub resonators. Comparing the measured transmission coefficient to numerical simulations, we determine that the strontium titanate film has a dielectric constant of $1.1 \times 10^3$ and a loss tangent of not more than 0.009. To facilitate the design of distributed microwave devices based on this type of material system, we describe an analytical model of the CPW properties that gives good agreement with both measurements and simulations.

description: The authors report that anisotropic confining potentials in laterally-coupled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have large impacts in optical transitions and energies of inter-shell collective electronic excitations. The observed anisotropies are revealed by inelastic light scattering as a function of the in-plane direction of light polarization and can be finely controlled by modifying the geometrical shape of the QDs. These experiments show that the tuning of the QD confinement potential offers a powerful method to manipulate electronic states and far-infrared inter-shell optical transitions in quantum dots.

description: This thesis is a poetry collection entitled Hanging by the Fingers, and is inspired by the moment in film when “a character is holding onto a ledge or rope by his or her fingers. One by one, each finger loses its grip” (“Hanging by the Fingers”). My collection centers on the complexity of relationships—familial, romantic, and religious. The speaker also struggles to understand how she relates to herself as a wife, mother, and individual. She feels as if she is often dangling by her fingers, trying desperately to hold on as each finger loses its grip. The themes of feeling lost, afraid or inadequate, and trying to find something just out of reach, are present throughout the collection, even though the form and style of the poems vary greatly.

description: We performed in-situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and spin-resolved ARPES (SARPES) experiments to investigate the relationship between electronic band structures and ferromagnetism in SrRuO$_3$ (SRO) thin films. Our high-quality ARPES and SARPES results show clear spin-lifted band structures. The spin polarization is strongly dependent on momentum around the Fermi level, whereas it becomes less dependent at high-binding energies. This experimental observation matches our dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) results very well. As temperature increases from low to the Curie temperature, spin-splitting gap decreases and band dispersions become incoherent. Based on the ARPES study and theoretical calculation results, we found that SRO possesses spin-dependent electron correlations in which majority and minority spins are localized and itinerant, respectively. Our finding explains how ferromagnetism and electronic structure are connected, which has been under debate for decades in SRO.

title: Unfolding the Hidden Nuances of Agency, Tradition, and Power: A Case Study of Domestic Work
Creators: name: Bleazard, Jillian
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: A close examination of daily work can tell the detailed story of a person’s values and beliefs. While folklorists routinely study labor in factories, fields, and offices, domestic work remains largely unexamined, perhaps due to its historic invisibility or characterization as unimportant. This study uses folklore and feminist literature to uncover what one woman (Alana Stowe, a white, heterosexual, Mormon wife and mother in North Logan, Utah) has made of housework, in an effort to add to the research on domestic work. Stowe’s aesthetically-driven laundry folding routine communicates the values that are most important in her life, namely order, rejuvenation, familial connections and religiosity. By looking at the minute level of one woman’s daily activities we can see the individual interacting with the larger institutions that influence her life. This study seeks to bring attention to and complicate the ways in which women interact with the power structures in their lives; Stowe does not follow her traditions blindly but instead uses her agency to act innovatively within the social bounds and traditions set by her church and family.

description: Collective flavor transformations in supernovae, caused by neutrino-neutrino interactions, are essentially a two-flavor phenomenon driven by the atmospheric mass difference and the small mixing angle theta_13. In the two-flavor approximation, the initial evolution depends logarithmically on theta_13 and the system remains trapped in an unstable fixed point for theta_13 = 0. However, any effect breaking exact nu_mu-nu_tau equivalence triggers the conversion. Such three-flavor perturbations include radiative corrections to weak interactions, small differences between the nu_mu and nu_tau fluxes, or non-standard interactions. Therefore, extremely small values of theta_13 are in practice equivalent, the fate of the system depending only on the neutrino spectra and their mass ordering.

title: Self-Advocacy Skills in Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Listening and Spoken Language Teacher Perceptions in Preschool through Third Grade Settings
Creators: name: Hendrix, Ariel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Self-advocacy is an essential component of social-emotional skill development (Scheele, L., & Clark, G., n.d.; Luckner & Sebald, 2013). The ability to recognize one’s needs, and then utilize effective self-advocacy skills to meet those needs are characteristics considered to contribute to successful development in this area. Young children with disabilities require strong self-advocacy and self-determination skills, particularly as they transition from preschool into mainstream kindergarten settings. Children should learn that they have a right and a responsibility to access the same educational experiences as their peers, and should be given the tools to effectively identify and implement appropriate self-advocacy strategies within the classroom (Anderson & Arnoldi, 2011). Age-appropriate advocacy skills can and should be introduced within early intervention home-based programs and within the preschool classroom to establish the foundations for future growth and development.
Development of an Electronic size and colour grader for tomatoes
Creators: name: Von Beckmann, Joerg Walter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The greenhouse tomato industry in British Columbia requires that tomatoes be colour graded into four categories, and size graded, based on diameter, into four categories. Automatic colour graders for only two category classifications have been developed, while a size grader based on weight is commercially available. To meet industry demands, automatic size and colour grading of greenhouse tomatoes for the fresh market is necessary. The development of an automatic size and colour grader, which fulfills industry grading requirements is needed to reduce production costs and to accelerate the implementation of complete mechanization in tomato handling. This thesis outlines the design, fabrication and testing of a grading machine capable of simultaneously size and colour grading tomatoes into fourteen different size and colour categories at a rate of five tomatoes per second. The number of categories may be increased or decreased to meet individual needs. Tomatoes are randomly fed onto a conveyor with one inch (2.5 cm) minimum spacing and passed single file under a fibre optic illuminating and sensing head. Size and colour of individual tomatoes are measured electronically and the information stored in a memory until each tomato reaches an appropriate eject location, where the tomato is pneumatically ejected into a storage bin. The memory and eject mechanisms are synchronized with the conveyor belt so that changes in belt speed do not affect grading. The grading rate is strictly a function of mechanical handling operations, and is limited by the ability of the pneumatic eject system to supply enough air to remove tomatoes from the conveyor in the allotted time. Colour grading is based on the ratio of light reflected from the tomato surface in two narrow bands of the visible spectrum. Size grading is based on a diameter measurement of the tomato, as it passes under the sensing head, with a grading resolution of approximately 3/64 inch (0.12 cm). Misclassification of oversized or undersized tomatoes in a given size category was less than 10%.

description: In cubic noncentrosymmetric ferromagnets uniaxial distortions suppress the helical states and stabilize Skyrmion lattices in a broad range of thermodynamical parameters. Using a phenomenological theory for modulated and localized states in chiral magnets, the equilibrium parameters of the Skyrmion and helical states are derived as functions of the applied magnetic field and induced uniaxial anisotropy. These results show that due to a combined effect of induced uniaxial anisotropy and an applied magnetic field Skyrmion lattices can be formed as thermodynamically stable states in large intervals of magnetic field and temperatures in cubic helimagnets, e.g., in intermetallic compounds MnSi, FeGe, (Fe,Co)Si. We argue that this mechanism is responsible for the formation of Skyrmion states recently observed in thin layers of Fe_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Si [X.Z.Yu et al., Nature \textbf{465}(2010) 901].

title: The Effects of Using a Nike+ FuelBand to Measure Physical Activity in a Community Based Intervention among Middle-Aged Adults
Creators: name: Jensen, Rebecca Lynne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Purpose: To examine the response of middle aged adults (age 39-64) to feedback from wearable activity sensors in a 6 month community based intervention. Participants (N = 139) were a convenient sample randomly assigned into the treatment (n = 100) or control (n = 39) group. Methods: All participants were surveyed about their physical activity levels during the pre, mid, and post intervention surveys. The treatment group participants were given a Nike+ FuelBand and asked to report minutes of moderate and vigorous physical activity [PA] and FuelPoints daily. Results: There was a significant change in moderate and vigorous PA levels from the beginning to the end of the intervention by all (treatment and control) participants when measured with self-report surveys. It was found that novice exercisers (performing weekly) significantly increased their levels of moderate PA in a non-linear way (p = .048) when measured with pre, mid, and post intervention self-report surveys. Contradicting results were found when looking at the treatment group’s FuelBand data (FuelPoints). FuelPoints did not significantly differ across the intervention (p = .084). FuelPoints also did not differ by gender (p = .857), age tertiles (p = .459), or exercise level (novice moderate (p = .573) or novice vigorous (p = .184)). Conclusion: Participants in a community intervention did increase their moderate and vigorous PA. This increase in moderate and vigorous PA across the 6 month intervention was seen in the control group as well as the treatment group thus it was not in response to the use of a wearable PA sensor. The current technology limitations of wearable PA sensors when used in community interventions with middle-aged adults make it difficult to obtain accurate and objective measures of PA data. Until the technology is more accurate, community based PA studies should not rely upon wearable PA sensors alone for PA data collection or for motivation of their participants to perform more PA.

description: Point Source (PS) detection is an important issue for future Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments since they are one of the main contaminants to the recovery of CMB signal at small scales. Improving its multifrequency detection would allow to take into account valuable information otherwise neglected when extracting PS using a channel-by-channel approach. We develop a method based on Neural Networks (NNs) to detect PS in multifrequency realistic simulations and compare its performance against one of the most popular methods, the matrix filters. The frequencies used are 143, 217 and 353 GHz and we impose a Galactic cut of 30 degrees. We produce simulations by adding contaminating signals to the PS maps as the CMB, the Cosmic Infrared Background, the Galactic thermal emission, the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and the instrumental noise. These simulations are used to train two NNs called Flat and Spectral MultiPoSeIDoN. The first one considers PS with a flat spectrum and the second one is more realistic because it takes into account the spectral behavior of the PS. Using a detection limit of 60 mJy, Flat MultiPoSeIDoN reachs the 90% of completeness level at 58 mJy and at 79, 71 and 60 for the spectral case at 143, 217 and 353 GHz respectively, while the matrix filters reach it at 84, 79 and 123 mJy. Using safer 4σ detection limit does not help to improve these results. In all cases, MultiPoSeIDoN obtain a much lower number of spurious sources than the filter. The NNs recover the flux density of the detections with a relative error of 10% above 100 mJy, while the filter above 150 mJy. Based on the results, NNs are the perfect candidates to substitute filters to detect multifrequency PS in future CMB experiments. Moreover, we have shown that a multifrequency approach can detect sources with higher accuracy than single-frequency approaches also based on NNs.

description: We develop a many-particle quantum-hydrodynamical model of fermion matter interacting with the external classical electromagnetic and gravitational/inertial and torsion fields. The consistent hydrodynamical formulation is constructed for the many-particle quantum system of Dirac fermions on the basis of the nonrelativistic Pauli-like equation obtained via the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation. With the help of the Madelung decomposition approach, the explicit relations between the microscopic and macroscopic fluid variables are derived. The closed system of equations of quantum hydrodynamics encompasses the continuity equation, and the dynamical equations of the momentum balance and the spin density evolution. The possible experimental manifestations of the torsion in the dynamics of spin waves is discussed.

description: Il trasporto intermodale ha acquisito un ruolo sempre più importante nello
scenario dei trasporti comunitari merci durante gli ultimi quindici anni. La sfida che si
era posta a inizi anni novanta in Europa consisteva nello sviluppo di una rete europea di
trasporto combinato strada-ferrovia. A questo fine è stata fondamentale la cooperazione
tra gli operatori del settore e le istituzioni (comunitarie e nazionali), nonché l’impulso
dato dalla liberalizzazione del trasporto ferroviario, che fortemente influenza il trasporto
combinato.
Questa tesi, in particolare, intende studiare il ruolo del Sistema Gateway come
strumento innovativo e di nuovo impulso per lo sviluppo della rete di trasporto
combinato strada-rotaia in ambito europeo. Grazie a questo sistema, le unità di carico,
dirette in una determinata regione, giungono ad un "Terminal Gateway", dove secondo
un sistema di tipo “hub-and-spoke” vengono trasbordate a mezzo gru su treni “Shuttle”
verso la destinazione finale. Tutto ciò avviene con operazioni fortemente automatizzate
e veloci con sensibile vantaggio in termini di tempo e costi.
La tesi parte da una descrizione del trasporto intermodale, facendo un focus
sugli aspetti strutturali, tecnici e organizzativi del trasporto combinato strada – rotaia e
del suo funzionamento. Passando attraverso l’analisi delle reti di trasporto merci in
Europa, nel secondo capitolo. Il terzo capitolo entra nel vivo della Tesi introducendo
l’oggetto dell’indagine: il Sistema Gateway nell’ambito dello sviluppo della rete
europea del traffico combinato strada-ferrovia.
Nella seconda parte della tesi è voluto studiare il Sistema Gateway con l’ausilio
dei metodi d’analisi che vengono applicati per la scelta fra progetti alternativi nel campo
della pianificazione dei trasporti, pertanto sono stati presi in rassegna e descritti i metodi più utilizzati: l’Analisi Benefici-Costi e l’Analisi Multicriteria. Nel caso applicativo è
stata utilizzata l’Analisi Benefici-Costi.
Infine nel capitolo sesto è stato presentato dettagliatamente il caso reale di
studio che riguarda il progetto per la trasformazione del terminal di Verona Quadrante
Europa in un terminal gateway.

description: We give an intepretation of the Cremmer-Gervais r-matrices for sl(n) in terms of actions of elements in the rational and trigonometric Cherednik algebras of type GL2 on certain subspaces of their polynomial representations. This is used to compute the nilpotency index of the Jordanian r-matrices, thus answering a question of Gerstenhaber and Giaquinto. We also give an interpretation of the Cremmer-Gervais quantization in terms of the corresponding double affine Hecke algebra.

description: Relationships between oral health status in children with disability and their mothers’ depressive symptoms
Aim. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationships between oral health status in children with chronic medical conditions and their mothers’ depressive symptoms. Methods. Fifty-one children (25 male and 26 female, ranging from 2 to 18 years) affected by chronic systemic diseases followed at the Sant’Orsola-Malpighi Hospital in Bologna, ,and, were referred with their mothers at the Dental Department of Bologna. Children were subclassified in 3 groups according to the ASA classification and orally examined for hygiene status, gingival condition and dental caries. The indexes used were O’Leary plaque Index (PI), bleeding on probing index (BOP), dmft/DMFT. Mothers were interviewed on knowledge about oral diseases prevention for their children and daily management (hygiene habits, sugared aliments consumption). Statistical analysis was performed through the use of linear regression. Results. The relationships between ASA and IP as well as between ASA and BOP are statistically significant (α = 0,01). Seventy percent of patients and their relatives in ASA groups 3 and 4 never received information on oral health and prevention of oral diseases by paediatricians and/or dentists. The 53% of mothers present depressive symptoms. The relationships between degree of depressive symptoms and dmft/DMFt as well as between degree of depressive symptoms and sugared aliments daily consumption are statistically significant (α = 0,05). Conclusion. Our results give support to the hypothesis of an association between degree of systemic disease and oral hygiene status. The psychological mothers condition seams to play a role on the oral conditions of their sons. Our analysis shows the needs for an interdisciplinar approach in order to promote the oral health of children with disability.
