title: Carnivore Competition and Resource use in the Serengeti Ecosystem of Tanzania
Creators: name: Frame, George Walter
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: Coexisting ungulate-eating carnivores--lion, spotted hyena, cheetah, leopard, African wild dog, black-backed jackal, common jackal, and six species of vulture--are examined in East Africa's Serengeti ecosystem. Niche similarities year-round, by season, and by location are described using food, habitat, time of hunting, and other variables. Intraspecific niches of cheetah sex, age, and social groups show that male coalitions differ most from the others in hunting behavior and habitat use. Tests using the carnivore data failed to support hypotheses about niche breadth variation, niche overlap variation, range of food items, and niche inclusion. Densities of the five largest Carnivora in the 35,500 square kilometer ecosystem are 0.513/sq km; including the two jackals gives a density of 1.55/sq km. Their prey--30 ungulate species--are 84 .85/sq km. Prey and predator ratios suggest that the Serengeti Plains in 1977 had a three-fourths decrease in relative abundance of prey to predators from wet season to dry season . Year-round the Ngorongoro Crater had a prey:predator ratio slightly larger than that of the dry season Serengeti Plains. Literature review suggests that cleptoparasitism and direct killing are very important forms of interference competition among and within carnivore species . Evidence for exploitation competition i s scant, but is inferred because local environments are unpredictable f or carnivores. Analysis of body sizes fails to support the hypothesized ratios of 2.0 for body weigh t and 1.28 for linear dimensions . Three methods of calculating multidimensional niche metrics (product, summation, and projection) are compared. Apparently the Serengeti's carnivores coexist because of their behavioral flexibility in an unpredictable environment . Niche descriptions were of little he l p in assessing the foci for potential and real competition among carnivores . Only the direct observations of interference competition in long-term field studies identified where competitive interactions are occurring with sufficient intensity to provide a numerical response in a population. Spotted hyenas some times competitively exclude African wild dogs locally . Management f or a high abundance and diversity of carnivores probably requires maintaining high densities of prey and varied habitats. Specific recommendations are made for cheetah and African wild dog conservation.
title: Stem Blight of Alfalfa in Utah: A Complex of Two Distinct Diseases
Creators: name: Rader, William E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1942

description: In 1908, Sackett described for the first time what appeared to be a new bacterial disease of alfalfa in Colorado. To this particular disease he applied the name “stem blight" and attributed the cause to a bacterium, Pseudomonas medicaginis. For some two decades or more Sackett's work on this disease was accepted. During this time stem blight, which was first thought to be indigenous to the western United State, was reported from nine states east of the Rocky Mountains. In 1933, Johnson and Valleau described a disease of alfalfa, characterized by stem lesions very similar in appearance to those of stem blight as described by Sackett. These authors determined the cause of this new disease to be a fungus" Phoma medicaginis Malbr. and Roum., and gave to it the name "black stem". Richards in 1934" in reporting on the resistance of certain alfalfa varieties to stem blight in Utah, states in a foot note that a species of Phoma was isolated with considerable uniformity from bacterial stem blight lesions. This author raises the question as to the possible dual etiology of stem blight in Utah. Research work by Remsberg and Hungerford in Idaho, more definitely suggested this dual etiology of' the stem blight complex. These authors determined the black stem lesions on alfalfa to be caused by Phoma medicaginis, and indicated that the darker lesions caused by this fungus were distinct from the lighter colored lesions characteristic of the bacterial stem blight described by Sackett. Because of the similarity of the late stage of bacterial stem blight to the insipient stage of black stem, much confusion has arisen as to their identity and etiology It has been the policy in Utah during recent years to refer to this wide range of stem lesions as stem blight, recognizing that the exact nature and etiology is not known. This disease complex presents a problem in Utah of major economic importance. It is the purpose of this thesis to bring together the known facts regarding stem blight; to determine the specific etiology of the stem blight lesions on alfalfa as they occur in Utah, and if possible to establish definite criteria by which the components of the stem blight complex might be separated.

description: The forage. produced on Utah’s winter range is generally deficient in some nutrients that are required for the phase of sheep production that takes place on these ranges. This forage need only supply little more than maintenance ration, but because of low forage production on these areas and generally low quality forage, these requirements often are not met.

description: The next generation near- and mid-infrared Galactic surveys will yield a large number of new highly obscured star clusters. Detailed characterization of these new objects with spectroscopy is time-consuming. Diagnostic tools that will be able to characterize clusters based only on the available photometry will be needed to study large samples of the newly found objects. The brightness difference between the red clump and the main-sequence turn-off point have been used as a model-independent age calibrator for clusters with ages from a few 10$^8$ to 10$^{10}$ yr in the optical. Here we apply for the first time the method in the near-infrared. We calibrated this difference in $K$-band, which is likely to be available for obscured clusters, and we apply it to a number of test clusters with photometry comparable to the one that will be yielded by the current or near-future surveys. The new calibration yields reliable ages over the range of ages for which the red clump is present in clusters. The slope of the relation is smoother than that of the corresponding $V$-band relation, reducing the uncertainty in the age determinations with respect to the optical ones.

Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 2000

description: Cusps of superconducting strings can serve as GRB engines. A powerful beamed pulse of electromagnetic radiation from a cusp produces a jet of accelerated particles, whose propagation is terminated by the shock responsible for GRB. A single free parameter, the string scale of symmetry breaking η∼1014GeV, successfully explains the typical values of GRB duration, fluence, the rate of bursts, as well as the observed ranges of these quantities. The wiggles on the string can drive the short-time structures of GRB. The model predicts reoccurance of GRBs with a period of ∼20 yrs. The cusp mechanism resolves also some problems of GRBs as sources of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays.

description: Substrate defects crucially influence the onset of sliding drop motion under lateral driving. A finite force is necessary to overcome the pinning influence even of microscale heterogeneities. The depinning dynamics of three-dimensional drops is studied for hydrophilic and hydrophobic wettability defects using a long-wave evolution equation for the film thickness profile. It is found that the nature of the depinning transition explains the experimentally observed stick-slip motion.

description: The ability to provide hospitable service is a differentiator for commercial hospitality firms. As a result, hospitality educators have a crucial role in developing hospitableness in the future hospitality workforce. Nonetheless, limited research investigates the stakeholder groups' perspectives of hospitableness and the competencies required for providing hospitable service. Through semi-structured interviews with hospitality educators, this paper explores the concept of “Hospitable Service Mindset” (HSM), a type of service mindset that imbues service provision with hospitableness in commercial hospitality. The findings illustrate that HSM is comprised of an understanding of what it means to be hospitable, which enables a set of competencies required for the delivery of hospitable service. Theoretically, the study contributes with the original conceptualisation of HSM as a medium enabling the translation of hospitableness into service provision. Practical implications related to the translation of hospitableness into organisational practices and the ‘pedagogy of hospitableness’ are also offered.

description: Local-box hydrodynamical model atmospheres provide statistical information about a star's emergent radiation field which allows one to predict the level of its granulation-related micro-variability. Space-based photometry is now sufficiently accurate to test model predictions. We aim to model the photometric granulation background of HD49933 as well as the Sun, and compare the predictions to the measurements obtained by the COROT and SOHO satellite missions. We construct hydrodynamical model atmospheres representing HD49933 and the Sun, and use a previously developed scaling technique to obtain the observable disk-integrated brightness fluctuations. We further performed exploratory magneto-hydrodynamical simulations to gauge the impact of small scale magnetic fields on the synthetic light-curves. We find that the granulation-related brightness fluctuations depend on metallicity. We obtain a satisfactory correspondence between prediction and observation for the Sun, validating our approach. For HD49933, we arrive at a significant over-estimation by a factor of two to three in total power. Locally generated magnetic fields are unlikely to be responsible, otherwise existing fields would need to be rather strong to sufficiently suppress the granulation signal. Presently suggested updates on the fundamental stellar parameters do not improve the correspondence; however, an ad-hoc increase of the HD49933 surface gravity by about 0.2dex would eliminate most of the discrepancy. We diagnose a puzzling discrepancy between the predicted and observed granulation background in HD49933, with only rather ad-hoc ideas for remedies at hand.

Tunneling Through Two Successive Barriers and the Hartman (Superluminal) Effects

Year: 2000

description: We study the phenomenon of one-dimensional non-resonant tunneling through two successive potential barriers, separated by an intermediate free region R, by analyzing the relevant solutions to the Schroedinger equation. We find that the total traversal time does not depend not only on the barrier widths (the so-called 'Hartman effect'), but also on the R width: so that the effective velocity in the region R, between the two barriers, can be regarded as infinite. This agrees with the results known from the corresponding waveguide experiments, which simulated the tunnelling experiment herein considered due to the formal identity between the Schroedinger and the Helmholtz equation.

title: Bipolar Cancellation of Cell Membrane Electroporation by Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field
Creators: name: Kim, Vitalli
name: Pakhomov, Andrei G.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: At present, some of the most promising techniques for cell ablation, stimulation, and excitation are based on utilizing nanosecond pulsed electric field (nsPEF). NsPEF can activate or inhibit voltage-gated ion channels, cause cytoskeleton rearrangements, osmotic stress, cell swelling and blebbing, and apoptotic or necrotic cell death without appreciable heating. NsPEF is distinguished by a negligible formation of harmful electrochemical byproducts at the electrode-tissue interface and can even be delivered by antennas without a contact. Another unique feature of nsPEF (may include the lower µs range) is a phenomenon of bipolar cancellation, which stands for suppression of nsPEF effects by switching the stimulus polarity. Our team was the first to discover that the electric field reversal weakens nsPEF effects.

The goal of this study was to investigate how the bipolar cancellation efficiency (ratio of cell responses to unipolar and bipolar nsPEF stimulations) depends on nsPEF parameters: pulse duration, electric strength field, pulse number, frequency, the ratio of the first and second nsPEF phases, and the angle between the electric field vectors given by each phase. Experiments consisted of the cell membrane electroporation by applying nsPEF through needle electrodes to a monolayer of BPAE cells. Electroporation in exposed cell monolayers was quantified by fluorescence imaging with YO-PRO-1 dye. We found that the efficiency of bipolar cancellation for 600ns bipolar nsPEF reached maximum values from 5 to 6 when the amplitude of nsPEF second phase equals 50-75% of the first one. An increase in the number of pulses (from 5 to 15) didn't affect cancellation with 50% bipolar nsPEF. However, bipolar nsPEF with a shorter duration (down to 300ns) and higher frequency (up to 833kHz) were more efficient at cancellation. The angle between the electric field vectors of two nsPEF delivered one after another determined whether the effect is canceled (with the vectors pointing in the opposite directions) or enhanced (when the vectors pointed in the same direction). These results are essential to improve the efficiency of remote stimulation protocols by nsPEF.
Characterizing steady state and transient properties of reaction-diffusion systems

description: In the past the study of reaction-diffusion systems has greatly contributed to our understanding of the behavior of many-body systems far from equilibrium. In this paper we aim at characterizing the properties of diffusion limited reactions both in their steady states and out of stationarity. Many reaction-diffusion systems have the peculiarity that microscopic reversibility is broken such that their transient behavior can not be investigated through the study of most of the observables discussed in the literature. For this reason we analyze the transient properties of reaction-diffusion systems through a specific work observable that remains well defined even in the absence of microscopic reversibility and that obeys an exact detailed fluctuation relation in cases where detailed balance is fulfilled. We thereby drive the systems out of their nonequilibrium steady states through time-dependent reaction rates. Using a numerical exact method and computer simulations, we analyze fluctuation ratios of the probability distributions obtained during the forward and reversed processes. We show that the underlying microscopic dynamics gives rise to peculiarities in the configuration space trajectories, thereby yielding prominent features in the fluctuation ratios.

description: Synchrotron emission from jets produced by X-ray binaries can be detected at optical and infrared (IR) frequencies. I show that optical/IR colour-magnitude diagrams of the outbursts of nine X-ray binaries successfully separate thermal disc emission from non-thermal jet emission, in both black hole and neutron star sources. A heated single-temperature blackbody is able to reproduce the observed relations between colour and magnitude, except when excursions are made to a redder colour than expected, which is due to jet emission. The general picture that is developed is then incorporated into the unified picture of disc-jet behaviour in black hole X-ray binaries. At a given position of a source in the X-ray hardness-intensity diagram, the radio, IR and optical properties can be inferred. Similarly, it is possible to predict the X-ray and radio luminosities and spectral states from optical/IR monitoring.

title: Nutritional Understanding of Preschool Children Taught in the Home and Child Development Laboratory
Creators: name: Lee, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: This study was devised to determine the readiness of preschool children to learn about basic concepts of nutrition. Sixty preschool children enrolled in the Utah State University Child Development Laboratory, comprised the sample. Twenty children were taught at home by parents, 20 were taught at the Laboratory, and 20 received no instruction. The curriculum was based on the concept of nutrient density and used the Index of Nutritional Quality (INQ) in developing instructional materials. INQ is an index for comparing the amount of nutrients to the amount of calories in a food. Food Profile Cards, visual representations of this information for non-reading preschoolers, were the main teaching tools.
Findings indicate that preschoolers are capable of learning about nutrition using the INQ concept. Mean comparisons of pre and posttest scores on a 12-item nutrition test were significant in the classroom and home-taught groups. Children in either treatment condition improved at significant levels in ability to recognize foods, identify nutrients in foods, and identify nutrient functions in the body.

description: We discuss neutralino dark matter arising from supersymmetric models with extra inert Higgsinos and singlinos, where inert means that their scalar partners do not get vacuum expectation values. As an example, we consider the extended neutralino sector of the E$_6$SSM, which predicts three families of Higgs doublet pairs, plus three singlets, plus a $Z'$, together with their fermionic superpartners. We show that the two families of inert doublet Higgsinos and singlinos predicted by this model provide an almost decoupled neutralino sector with a naturally light LSP which can account for the cold dark matter relic abundance independently of the rest of the model, providing that the ratio of the two usual Higgs doublets satisfies tan beta < 2.

description: Biological vision processes are at the basis of many studies in the image-processing field. In this context, pre-attentive neural networks developed by S. Grossberg constitute an interesting approach. They are able to extract meaningful information from the global structure of data rather than from local relationships, yielding to a coherent and complete visual perception (emergent perception), also in case of noisy and incomplete images. The paper presents the application of Grossberg's approach to the analysis of scatter plots from nuclear physics experiments. The design and implementation of a pre-attentive neural system developed for this purpose are presented. Simulation results prove the goodness of the approach.

description: The problem of what kinds of music provide the most meaning for the young child has long been a concern of the author. It arises not only out of close experience with young children, but also out of a concern for the responsibility of providing them with meaningful aesthetic experiences. From this background of experience the problem is not purely an academic one. Its first and ultimate concern is an experiential one. Because it arises out of this particular background, the analysis of the problem and its study is less concerned with academic and scientific validity than might otherwise have been the case.

Factorization of Short- and Long-range Interactions in Charged Meson Production

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Meson production data play an important role in our understanding of nucleon structure. The combination of reaction channels is sensitive to gluon and charge and flavor non-singlet quark densities and has the potential to provide detailed images of the QCD quark structure of the nucleon. Quark imaging requires a good understanding of the reaction mechanism, and in particular rigorous tests of factorization of long- and short-distance physics. The higher energies after the Jefferson Lab 12 GeV upgrade provide ideal conditions for such studies, which are an essential prerequisite for studies of valence quark distributions. An electron-ion collider would allow to extend these studies to detailed imaging of sea quarks and gluons.

title: Socio-economic responses to Late Holocene climate variability and environmental change in the Peruvian Andes
Creators: name: Handley, Josephine
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: This thesis provides new palaeoenvironmental data from the Peruvian Andes and develops our understanding of socio-economic responses to environmental and climatic changes within the Late Holocene. The three study areas of the Callejón de Huaylas (Ancash Region); Chillón Valley (Lima Region); Chicha-Soras Valley (Apurímac Region), provide a transect across the Andes to better understand regional differences in social responses to, and variations in, environmental change. The analysis of wetland records located within the key agricultural belt of the Peruvian Andes (3000-4000m a.s.l.), provide valuable records of past human land-use. By analysing palaeoecological (pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs, phytoliths and micro-charcoal) and geochemical (micro-XRF core scanning) signatures within these records, we can ascertain how past societies responded to known periods of major climate change, such as the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). The results of this research have demonstrated that pre-Hispanic societies were able to cope with changes in climate by adapting agricultural practices, including the construction of reservoirs, agricultural terraces, and the use of wet pasture meadows (bofedales), and in doing so were able to deal with variability within natural resources, such as water availability. They also ensured the stability of their agricultural systems with continuity within the land-use records occurring over hundreds of years. It has also demonstrated considerable potential for high-resolution analysis of environmental change and the detection of both longer-scale regional climate change (MCA and LIA) and short-term climatic fluctuations (El Niño). Understanding how pre-Hispanic societies mitigated the risk posed by climate variability is important for future land-use, water, and soil conservation practices. The future preservation of the wetlands within the study is highly important for both climate change regulation and for conserving a valuable archive of human-environment interactions.

The PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) model was applied in constructing the clinical question. Two independent researchers performed the literature search. Thirty-six articles were identified and subjected to a quality assessment. The primary outcomes of the meta-analysis were long-term in-stent restenosis and long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Results. In-stent restenosis was 9.4% (95% CI: 4.2–14.7%) and MACE was 35.3% (95% CI: 27–43.7%) at mean time 2.7 ± 1.0 years. The secondary outcomes were the unsuccessful PCI rate (7.7%; 95% CI: 2.9–12.5%), 30-day MACE (4.3%; 95% CI: 2.5–6.1%), and 1-year MACE (15.5%; 95% CI: 11.7–19.3%). The use of drug-eluting stents resulted in better outcomes at least in term of in-stent restenosis, while the benefit of using embolic protection devices was questionable. Conclusions. PCI of a stenosed or occluded saphenous vein graft is a challenge for interventional cardiologists, and is still associated with relatively high rates of restenosis, MACE, and procedural failure. All efforts to enhance the results are warranted, including improved quality of the venous grafts used during CABG.

description: Consumer credit has become an area of major importance i n the financial planning of most , if not all, families in the Uni ted States. In absolute amount s, total consumer credit extended had increased more than 11 times, from $5,665 million to $63,164 million, since the end of World War II to 1962 ; and total installment credit had increased more than 19 times. During the same period disposable personal income had grown only about 2.5 times (15).
The Unlikely Hero. The treatment of Maradona’s Death in American Media.
Creators: name: Lopez Medel, Ismael
Publisher: name: Funes. Journal of narratives and social sciences
Year: 2022

description: The news coverage of a figure as complex as Maradona reflected his importance as an idolized sports figure, immensely popular despite his tumultuous existence. But media coverage also reflects a sociological view of sports heroes, and especially flawed ones. In this chapter, I look at the coverage of Maradona’s death in the United States, analyzing thirty-four media outlets across platforms. The study shows an informative character when reporting about Maradona, but also a detachment about his figure and legacy. The paper argues that the media analysis reflects the secondary social role of soccer in the United States in comparison with the rest of the world, acknowledging the importance of Maradona, but also viewing him as a foreign idol, and a failed one. We finally argue that Maradona’s history is unparalleled in the American sports landscape, and it is only understood when explored in depth.

Santa Maradona: agiografia di un calciatore.
Creators: name: Perissinotto, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Funes. Journal of narratives and social sciences
Year: 2022

description: In 2001, the movie Santa Maradona, directed by Marco Ponti, was released. Its title was taken from the song of the same name by Mano Negra. The movie make no mention of Maradona and this is, paradoxically, the most interesting aspect for an investigation into the role of the Argentinean superstar in the popular imagination, because the simple evocation in the title allows the director to create a paradigmatic link between his characters and a real person who has now become an exemplary character in human comedy, Maradona. Like the saints in the medieval exempla, El Pibe de Oro is the one who falls into sin, but who never ceases to point out an exemplary path of redemption and redemption. This essay proposes to analyse the "secular sanctification" of Diego Armando Maradona, a process of beatification that had already begun during his life and, forcibly, accelerated the day after his death.

Generalized similarity in finite range solar wind magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

description: Extended or generalized similarity is a ubiquitous but not well understood feature of turbulence that is realized over a finite range of scales. ULYSSES spacecraft solar polar passes at solar minimum provide \textit{in situ} observations of evolving anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the solar wind under ideal conditions of fast quiet flow. We find a single generalized scaling function characterises this finite range turbulence and is insensitive to plasma conditions. The recent unusually inactive solar minimum -with turbulent fluctuations down by a factor of $\sim 2$ in power- provides a test of this invariance.

title: Self Evaluation of a Selected Group of Teen Marriages
Creators: name: Stone, Margaret L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1960

description: The statistical trend toward an increasing number of early marriages in the United states is causing concern for parents and community officials (21) . The average age of marriage has been declining since 1890. Half of the girls are now married by the time they are twenty and half of the men by the time they are twenty- three (13) . In a study made by Landis (20) of marriages in California high schools, 90 percent of the senior high schools reported one or more student marriages. Similar statistics have been retorted in New Mexico (16) and Oregon (18) . Research has pointed an accusing finger at youthful marriage as a primary factor in the rampant divorce situation, and there is little question but that lack of the competencies which come with the maturing process are a source of marital friction and breakdown.

description: In this work, we present MHDEnzo, the extension of the cosmological code Enzo to include the effects magnetic fields through the ideal MHD approximation. We use a higher order Godunov Riemann solver for the computation of interface fluxes. We use two constrained transport methods to compute the electric field from those interface fluxes, which simultaneously advances the induction equation and maintains the divergence of the magnetic field. A third order divergence free reconstruction technique is used to interpolate the magnetic fields in the block structured AMR framework already extant in Enzo. This reconstruction also preserves the divergence of the magnetic field to machine precision. We use operator splitting to include gravity and cosmological expansion. We then present a series of cosmological and non cosmological tests problems to demonstrate the quality of solution resulting from this combination of solvers.

title: Analysis of Selected Problems of Home Management House Students
Creators: name: McConkie, Alta Geniel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1960

description: Traditionally , home economics majors and foods and nutrition majors in most colleges and universities have been able to bring their professional theoretical background to a climax with a practical living experience. This has been the policy at Utah State University, fulfilled in Household Administration, Course No. 150. Although the students entering this course are products of different backgrounds and cultural habits, it is assumed that their common home economics background in the University would allow them to manage a home efficiently. For many, however, this living experience requires a substantial adjustment. In some cases this experience of residence in the home management house marks the first break between home and the student.
Maradona’s Ghosts and Co.: Narrating Maradona in Argentine Football Literature.
Creators: name: Bertoglio, Carlos Andrés
Publisher: name: Funes. Journal of narratives and social sciences
Year: 2022

description: When Roberto Santoro wrote Literatura de la pelota (1971) little did he imagined that this book, written from the margins of Argentine literature, would open a new literary path for a considerable number of ‘football writers’ in Argentina and Latin America. In the five decades that followed this seminal work, this genre has continued to grow and diversify. However, one key thematic element that has been periodically revisited in the Argentine context is that of the mythical concept of the pibe as a central reservoir of Argentine footballing identity and the figure of Maradona as its most perfect incarnation. This essay will attempt to, on the one hand, describe and illustrate the pibe-Maradona connection in the context of Argentine Football Fiction and on the other, explain the pivotal role of Maradona and that of his phantasmatic presence as fundamental components to approach this literary subgenre in the Argentine context.

thesis

description: In this thesis, the v2 values are measured in p+Au and p+p at √sNN = 200 GeV with various ∆η ranges to establish the nonflow effects. The newly proposed nonflow subtraction method in this thesis and the reference fit method largely removes the nonflow effect compared to the template fit method, but it cannot yet remove the nonflow effect completely.
