Influence of Forage Diversity and Condensed Tannins on Livestock Foraging Behavior, Production and Environmental Impact
Creators: name: Lagrange, Sebastian P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Eating a combination of forages with different chemistries (i.e., nutrients, beneficial compounds such as tannins) may enhance ruminant nutrition and reduce environmental impacts relative to eating single forages. I explored the influence of offering sheep and cattle all possible combinations of tanniferous (i.e., plants with tannins; birdsfoot trefoil, sainfoin) and non-tanniferous legumes (i.e., plants without tannins; alfalfa) or their monocultures on animal performance, behavior, and methane and nitrogen (N) emissions. Offering choices among these legumes to penned sheep improved intake and diet digestibility relative to feeding monocultures. Mixtures selected by sheep were better digested than mixtures containing equal parts of the forages (indifferent selection), and similar to the legume of greatest digestion rate (alfalfa). In both sheep and cattle, tanniferous forages shifted the site of N excretion from urine to feces, which reduces environmental impacts, as fecal N is in the form of organic N and is metabolized at a slower rate than N in urine. Heifers grazing choices between tanniferous legumes showed the greatest decline in urinary N concentration, suggesting compounded effects that enhance N economy in grazing ruminants and reduce urinary N excretion to the environment. Enteric methane emissions were not affected by treatment, but heifers offered choices among all three legumes showed the greatest body weight gains, implying reductions in the number of days to slaughter, which reduces methane emissions during the finishing process. Grazing behavior and stress levels in heifers offered choices among strips of the three legumes were similar to animals grazing monocultures. Thus, my results suggest that grazing forage combinations increased animal productivity and reduced environmental impacts without affecting behavior or stress levels relative to grazing single forages, all benefits that lead to more sustainable pasture-based finishing systems.

The Effects of Different Organic Pastures on Dairy Heifer Growth and Development
Creators: name: Hadfield, Jacob A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Raising dairy heifers in a certified organic setting can be difficult for producers. Conventionally, heifers are raised in a confined setting, and fed a total mixed ration (TMR) that is balanced daily to contain all the needed nutrients for developing heifers. Organic producers can use a TMR in their operations, but due to high organic feed costs, many choose to raise their heifers in pasture-based systems. While pasture-based systems may lower costs, heifers on pasture commonly have lower rates of gain, which can be financially burdensome to producers. Grass-legume pastures may help improve rates of gain in heifers on pasture-based systems. In this study, yearling Jersey heifers received one of nine different treatments: eight pasture treatments or a conventional TMR control, for a 105-d period. Pasture treatments included four grass pastures: tall fescue (TF), meadow bromegrass (MB), orchard grass (OG), perennial ryegrass (PR) and four mixed pastures with each individual grass interseeded with the legume birdsfoot trefoil (BFT). To determine the effects of different pastures on heifer growth, heifers were sampled every 35 days over a 105-d period. During sampling, weight and hip-height were measured, and blood and fecal samples were taken from each heifer. Blood samples were analyzed for blood urea nitrogen (BUN), an indicator of protein status, and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), an indicator of energy balance. Fecal samples were analyzed to determine the parasite load of each heifer. At day 105 of the study, heifers were bred, and conception rates were determined 35 days after breeding. Heifers on mixed pasture tended to have increased body weights compared to heifers on grass pastures. Heifers fed on mixed pastures had a similar weight gain to those fed a TMR, except for heifers on TF+BFT were lower. Heifers fed on mixed pastures also had higher BUN concentrations than heifers fed on grass pastures. Heifers fed grass and mixed pastures had similar IGF-1 concentrations, parasite load and conception rates. Adding the legume BFT to grass pasture helped dairy heifers grow faster and more efficiently. Interseeding grass pastures with BFT may be a sustainable method to improve growth of developing jersey heifers being raised in a pasture-based system, although additional research is needed.
New World Mammarenaviral Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Determinants of Infection and Disease
Creators: name: Hickerson, Brady T.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Several New World mammarenaviruses (NWM) are able to cause life-threatening hemorrhagic disease in humans. These agents use human transferrin receptor 1 (hTfR1), the main protein involved in cellular uptake of iron, to infect cells. Furthermore, use of hTfR1 correlates with the ability of these viruses to cause severe disease in humans.The most prevalent pathogenic NWM is Junín virus (JUNV), which is the etiological agent of Argentine hemorrhagic fever (AHF).The pathogenesis of AHF is poorly understood. A cardinal feature of severe cases of AHF is a prolonged increase of serum interferon-a (IFN-a) concentration. This increase is hypothesized to play a role in the development of severe AHF but definitive proof has yet to be reported. Untreated cases of AHF can have a mortality rate as high as 30%. Countermeasures for JUNV infection are limited to the Candid #1 vaccine and convalescent sera recovered from AHF survivors.
Small rodent species, such as mice, are commonly used to model viral diseases and for the evaluation of promising prophylactic and therapeutic countermeasures. Currently, there are few small animal models to study JUNV. This is because most common laboratory rodents, such as mice and hamsters, do not develop severe disease when challenged with JUNV. In contrast, guinea pigs do develop severe disease when infected with JUNV. While guinea pigs have been used extensively to study JUNV infection, use of this model is hindered by the lack of understanding of what factors drive the development of severe disease.
The research described here was undertaken to better understand the underlying factors driving the development of severe pathogenic NWM disease. To further understand why guinea pigs are susceptible to lethal JUNV disease, we determined if guinea pig TfR1 (gpTfR1) serves as a receptor for the pathogenic NWM. Our results show that expression of gpTfR1 enhances pathogenic NWM infection to levels comparable to hTfR1. We also investigated if expression of hTfR1 in mice would render them susceptible to severe JUNV disease. We found that hTfR1+/+ mice challenged with JUNV developed a lethal disease course marked by an increase in serum IFN-a concentration. Because this finding mirrored those of severe AHF cases, we investigate the role of the type I IFN response in the development of JUNV disease and found that eliminating this response prevented lethal disease in the JUNV-challenged hTfR1+/+ mice. Last, we determined if blockade of virus binding to hTfR1 prevents lethal JUNV disease in hTfR1+/+ mice. We found that administration of anti-hTfR1 monoclonal antibodies to JUNV-challenged hTfR1+/+ mice can prevent lethal disease, demonstrating the therapeutic potential of this type of intervention.

Soil Health Assessment on Arid Rangeland Soils Impacted by Oil and Gas Exploration, Development, and Extraction
Creators: name: Allred, Justin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Oil and gas well pad reclamation in arid environments such as in the Uinta Basin of Utah, presents unique challenges, including remote locations, limited water, and elevated soil salinity and sodicity. Successfully reclaimed Plugged and Abandoned (P&A) well pads should resemble the surrounding rangeland once fully reclaimed. Revegetation of native species is the primary indicator of successful reclamation, but the lack of water makes it challenging to re-seed native plants, while trying to prevent the encroachment of invasive plant species such as Bromus tectorum (cheatgrass), Salsola tragus (Russian thistle), and Halogeton glomeratus (halogeton). Could successful reclamation be reflective of good soil health? Our objective was to determine if land disturbance negatively impacted soil health and consequently successful revegetation, by performing a soil health assessment on P&A well pads (disturbed soils) and comparing that to the soil health of the surrounding, adjacent rangeland (undisturbed soil). By using undisturbed rangeland soil as the desired reclamation goal for the P&A well pad, certain soil health indicators were chosen for comparison between the two sites.
Overall, P&A well pads had reduced soil health compared to the undisturbed rangeland. There was a difference in soil texture, with the undisturbed rangeland having a coarser soil texture (sandy loam) and the P&A well pads having a finer soil texture (clay loam, sandy clay loam). Compared to the rangeland, the P&A well pads had higher sodicity levels, measured by sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), making the P&A well pads more susceptible to sodic crust formation and reducing aggregate stability. Electromagnetic induction sensing (EMI) was also used, to see if it could quickly identify soil health indicators (ECe, SAR, pH, texture, etc.) to aid land managers in a more direct, targeted reclamation strategy. Many different soil properties can impact EMI reading, so while useful, EMI cannot always be relied on for the desired soil health indicators for reclamation.

Optimization of Aileron Spanwise Size and Shape to Minimize Induced Drag in Roll with Correlating Adverse Yaw
Creators: name: Brincklow, Joshua R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Most modern aircraft make use of modifying the main wing in flight to begin a roll. In many cases, this is done with a discrete control surface known as an aileron. The lift, drag, and moments for the wing are affected in part by the location and size of the ailerons along the length of the wing. The lift, drag, and moments can be found using a lifting-line theory that considers the circulation in airflow from many small sections of the wing. To minimize the drag due to lift on the wing, the ailerons must be optimized for the best location and size. In every case, the optimum aileron size extends to the wing tip. Results are provided in plots that can be used during the early design process to select optimum aileron size and location, as well as find the corresponding moments and drag due to lift. Compared to morphing wings, or wings that can change their shape for a new lift distribution along the wing, optimum discrete ailerons produce 5–20% more drag due to lift at the same rolling moment.

description: Dynamic Tunneling Force Microscopy (DTFM) is an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) technique used for imaging and characterizing trap states on nonconducting surfaces. In this thesis, DTFM images are acquired under Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) feedback and height feedback control. Simultaneous acquisition of DTFM, surface potential, and topographic images is realized, and correlation between trap states, surface potential, and surface topography can be extracted. The methodology for obtaining three-dimensional location and energy of individual atomic scale electronic trap states is described. The energy and depth of states accessible by a DTFM experiment are calculated using tunneling and electrostatic models. The DTFM signal amplitude is derived using a one-dimensional electrostatic model. Comparison between simulated DTFM signal and experimental results show a good consistency, verifying the single electron tunneling model.  DTFM is demonstrated on interlayer dielectric materials. Density, spatial distribution, energy, and depth distribution of trap states in these materials are measured by DTFM. An atomic scale study of electrical stressing effects using the DTFM method is performed showing both state appearance and disappearance after electrical stressing.

description: Detecting community structure in networks has been a widely studied area. While most of the methods produce an exclusive membership of the nodes, the nodes in real-world networks tend to partially belong to more than one community. In this thesis, we study some methods that have been used to quantify the strength of memberships of nodes in di erent communities (or community-a nity, as we call it) and also de ne three of our own methods. Our  rst method is based on personalized PageRanks of the nodes, the second is based on the individual contribution of nodes to the modularity of the graph, and the last is based on the common neighborhood between two nodes. We  rst discuss di erent notions of community-a nity, each of which is followed by formulations that capture that notion. We then discuss the concept of stability, which uses community-a nity scores of the nodes to compute how "stable" each node is in a given community structure and how we can use this information in estimating the quality of a given community structure. Towards the end, we introduce a community detection algorithm, which "peels" communities one by one from a graph. The results of our experiments show that our algorithm is very accurate even for a large number of nodes in a graph. Our algorithm is fast and it performs very well on real-world graphs compared to the state of the art algorithms.

The Role of Carbonate Minerals in Arsenic Mobility in a Shallow Aquifer Influenced by a Seasonally Fluctuating Groundwater Table
Creators: name: Jensen, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Arsenic (As) is a poison historically used to great effect before modern detection methods rendered it obsolete. However, the largest mass poisoning in human history occurred due to groundwater in the Bengal Basin contaminated by natural sources of As. Since that time, research has determined that As is found in groundwater worldwide. This includes aquifers located in basin-filled valleys of the western United States. One of these valleys is the Cache Valley Basin located in Northern Utah. This semi-arid region contains carbonate-rich soils and is heavily influenced by snowmelt and seasonal runoff. Previous studies have found that 15% of private wells in the valley have As concentrations above the USEPA Maximum Contamination Level (MCL) of 10 μg/L.
This study used groundwater samples collected over a 2-year period from three adjacent wells in the Cache Valley Basin, in conjunction with laboratory columns, to determine the effects of temporal and redox changes on As concentrations and associated carbonate minerals. Although it was determined that As concentrations fluctuated due to changes in water levels and seasonal runoff, column experiments determined that As associated with carbonate minerals remained constant. This indicates the potential for using carbonates as a means of preventing As contamination in groundwater.

description: RESUMO

Mundialmente, estima-se que existam mais de 100 mil espécies desses animais, sendo mais frequente em países tropicais e subtropicais, incluído o Brasil, com ênfase maior para a Amazônia Legal (Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima e Tocantins e parte do estado do Maranhão). Em âmbito nacional, quando se analisa os casos de acidentes envolvendo animais peçonhentos, nota-se que os escorpiões são os principais causadores desses acidentes, destacando-se nesse contexto, as espécies Tityus bahiensis, Tityus serrulatus e Tityus stigmurus nos casos mais graves. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico de série temporal, com base em dados secundários, tendo como unidade de análise o Estado do Amazonas, no período de 2018 a 2022. Os dados foram coletados via internet no mês de novembro de 2023 de acordo com os filtros disponíveis no SINAN. Através do estudo, destaca-se também a importância da orientação sobre o uso de objetos de proteção no momento das atividades laborais destas pessoas, expandindo assim as opções de proteção em relação a esses acidentes. Ainda mais, observou-se ao falar sobre evolução dos casos, o índice de evolução para cura é muito significativo, destacando a potencial agilidade no atendimento e intervenções de reversão do ocorrido com os cuidados iniciais e a utilização de soros.
Making a Decision on Ethical Decision-Making Models
Creators: name: Johnson, Melanie K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Those in the helping professions, like psychology, counseling, and social work, have numerous ethical guidelines and codes to dictate ethical behavior. These codes, while extensive, do not encompass all situations. When professionals find themselves in an ambiguous situation, it is called an ethical dilemma. Many of the professional organizations that create ethical codes also recommend the use of ethical decision-making models. Ethical decision-making models provide steps, or instructions, on how to make an ethical decision when presented with an ethical dilemma.
Little research has been done on ethical decision-making models, so it cannot be concluded that these models actually help make more ethical decisions. The current study compared ethical decision quality among school psychologists and school psychology graduate students who were given a common ethical dilemma to resolve. The experimental group was provided with a high quality and unfamiliar ethical decision-making model, while the control group was not provided this model. Participants provided their decisions, which were compared to a pre-written list of all possible solutions and a rating for how ethical they were. Evidence was found to support the idea that having an ethical decision-making model available results in higher quality ethical decisions.
School psychology graduate students and school psychology practitioners were compared to see if one was helped more by having an ethical decision-making model available. Although not statistically significant, analyses suggest that school psychology practitioners may benefit more from having a model available. Furthermore, those who had prior explicit training on using an ethical decision-making model had higher quality ethical decisions. These results speak to the importance of having an ethical decision-making model available when faced with an ethical dilemma, as well as graduate and continuing education providing explicit instruction on ethical decision-making model use.

description: Abstract

Endurance is a crucial factor for success in rowing competitions, as the sport demands high physical exertion and sustained resistance to fatigue. This study aims to assess the endurance levels of rowing athletes. A quantitative descriptive methodology was employed to provide a comprehensive overview of the endurance conditions among these athletes. The sample comprised 35 rowing athletes, including 18 males and 17 females. Athlete endurance was measured using the Multi-Stage Fitness Test (MSFT). The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and compared against established MSFT norms. Results indicated that 51% of the athletes fell into the "less" endurance category, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to enhance their endurance levels. Improving endurance is essential to mitigate fatigue during competitions, thereby enhancing athletic performance.

The Power of Mercy: An Examination of Presidential Pardon Patterns
Creators: name: Ulrich, Stewart
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: The Constitution gives the president the power of clemency, the ability to forgive crimes and release individuals from prison. There are no checks on this power, giving the president unilateral power. Are there any factors that constrain this power or affect it? I claim that the electoral manner in which a president comes into office helps determine how they will use the power. Presidents coming into power with enthusiasm and confidence of the people will issue more clemency, while those who come into power with less will have decreased levels of clemency. Additionally, with more media outlets to scrutinize their every action, more recent presidents also issue less clemency.

Evaluation of Enrichment and Identification Media for Isolation of  Common Bovine Salmonella Serotypes
Creators: name: Swanson, Katie Irene
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Salmonellosis is an important cause of diarrhea in humans and animals, which can lead to death in severe cases. Rapid and efficient detection of Salmonella spp. is essential to limit the spread of disease. Many enrichment procedures have been described for the isolation of Salmonella, and often include variations on Rappaport-Vassiliadis medium, which is recommended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The current procedures vary in incubation temperature, incubation time, and type of media used for identification of Salmonella. This project compared four procedures for enrichment and identification of common bovine Salmonella serotypes. We determined the best procedure for isolation and identification of the most common serotypes from cattle including S. Typhimurium, S. Dublin, S. Cerro and S. Montevideo. To do so, we compared Rappaport-Vassiliadis broth (RV), Rappaport-Vassiliadis R10 broth (R10), Tetrathionate broth (TT), and Selenite-Cysteine broth (SC) for isolation of the Salmonella serotypes and Xylose lysine tergitol 4 agar (XLT-4) and Xylose lysine deoxycholate agar (XLD) for identification of the Salmonella serotypes. Incubation temperature and incubation time were also compared. We hypothesized that R10 would provide the best enrichment, and XLD agar the best identification method for these specific strains. After identifying the best procedure for enrichment of pure cultures, future studies will include determining the sensitivity of the best procedure for use on fecal and animal tissue samples submitted to the UVDL. This will provide a practical evaluation of the optimized enrichment procedure against actual clinical samples.

sandcastle worm adhesive

description: Marine Sandcastle worms, Phragmatopoma californica, are tube-building sabellariid polychaetes that inhabit the western coast of North American. Sabellariidae have major impacts on the geology and ecology of shorelines. Individual worms build protective tubular shelters by gluing together mineralized materials with a proteinaceous adhesive. The adhesive is the product of at least four distinct secretory cell types, the contents of which are co-secreted from the building organ during tube construction. Prominent hetereogeneous granules contain dense subgranules of Mg and two polyacidic (polyphospho)proteins Pc3A and B, as well as at least two polybasic proteins, Pc1 and Pc4. Equally prominent homogeneous granules comprise at least two polybasic proteins, Pc2 and Pc5, and a sulfated polysaccharide. These distinct sets of oppositely charged components are segregated and packaged into dense secretory granules by electrostatic condensation. Both types of adhesive granules contain latent catechol oxidase, pre-primed with oxygen in the active site. After secretion, activated catechol oxidase ensures rapid and spatially homogeneous oxidative crosslinking of L-DOPA of Pc 1 and 2 proteins with limited mixing of the preassembled adhesive packets. Environmental pH changes also rapidly solidify of multipart polyelectrolytic of sandcastle worm adhesive due to formation of polyphosphoprotein Pc3 and Mg complex. The end result is tough and resilient underwater bonds formed with an energy-dissipating, water-filled adhesive foam. The natural adhesive has been a valuable model for development of synthetic adhesives for underwater bonding applications, including medical adhesives.

Visual Saliency Estimation and Its Applications
Creators: name: Xu, Fei
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: The human visual system can automatically emphasize some parts of the image and ignore the other parts when seeing an image or a scene. Visual Saliency Estimation (VSE) aims to imitate this functionality of the human visual system to estimate the degree of human attention attracted by different image regions and locate the salient object. The study of VSE will help us explore the way human visual systems extract objects from an image. It has wide applications, such as robot navigation, video surveillance, object tracking, self-driving, etc.
The current VSE approaches on natural images models generic visual stimuli based on lower-level image features, e.g., locations, local/global contrast, and feature correlation. However, existing models still suffered from some drawbacks. First, these methods fail in the cases when the objects are near the image borders. Second, due to imperfect model assumptions, many methods cannot achieve good results when the images have complicated backgrounds. In this work, I focuses on solving these challenges on the natural images by proposing a new framework with more robust task-related priors, and I apply the framework to low-quality biomedical images.
The new framework formulates VSE on natural images as a quadratic program (QP) problem. It proposes an adaptive center-based bias hypothesis to replace the most common image center-based center-bias, which is much more robust even when the objects are far away from the image center. Second, it models a new smoothness term to force similar color having similar saliency statistics, which is more robust than that based on region dissimilarity when the image has a complicated background or low contrast. The new approach achieves the best performance among 11 latest methods on three public datasets.Three approaches based on the framework by integrating both high-level domain-knowledge and robust low-level saliency assumptions are utilized to imitate the radiologists’ attention to detect breast tumors from breast ultrasound images.
Collagen mimetic peptide as a marker of mechanical damage in cerebral arteries

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects an estimated 1.7 million people annually in the United States, 52,000 of whom die as a result of TBI. TBI causes blood vessel dysfunction, and even in cases where hemorrhage is not present, TBI has been linked to long-term effects such as stroke. While vascular dysfunction is understood as a common outcome of TBI, the physiological and biochemical causes of dysfunction are not well understood. Better understanding of the nature of morphological damage to blood vessels will provide guidance in the development of therapies to treat TBI. This study investigates the effectiveness of collagen mimetic peptide (CMP) as a marker for mechanical damage to cerebral blood vessels exposed to various levels of axial overstretch. Eleven middle cerebral artery (MCA) segments from three lambs were exposed to four levels of axial overstretch. Seventeen sets of confocal images were recorded, with at least one set of images from each vessel. These images were analyzed for four different metrics in an attempt to quantify the difference between control and damaged samples. Examination of the images showed a number of bright streaks in the adventitia of the damaged samples. It is postulated that these streaks correspond to fibrous, axially oriented collagen structures in the adventitia of the blood vessels. Quantification of the percent of each image above a threshold value showed a significant difference between control samples, and those pulled to failure (p = .0032). This metric was shown to generally increase with increasing local stretch levels. This study shows that CMP is an effective marker for collagen damage due to axial overstretch.

Foreign direct investment and well-being, 1985-2010: a structural approach

description: This paper examines the relationship between foreign direct investment and well-being in poor countries, as measured by life expectancy and child mortality. The effect of foreign direct investment on impoverished nations has long been the subject of debate in both economics and sociology. While much of the previous literature has investigated foreign direct investment's effect on measures of well-being, this paper constitutes a new contribution by examining the structure of this investment in the form of foreign direct investment concentration. Foreign direct investment concentration is the proportion of investment from the top investing nation, and greater levels are hypothesized to have a detrimental impact on life expectancy and under-five mortality.  Drawing from a variety of theoretical perspectives, including modernization/liberalism and dependency theory, this paper uses a panel data set and a longitudinal methodology. The hypothesis is partially supported: while neither FDI nor FDI concentration are significant indicators of life expectancy or under-five mortality, FDI concentration reduces life expectancy in Asian countries.
