description: Current Data Grid tools are enhancing and getting more mature. On the other hand, several application users express their needs and requirements to deploy Grid tools in their daily work. Thus, there is a strong need that Grid tools make the transition from prototype tools to production tools. We have made several improvements and additions to an early release of the European DataGrid software tools in order to meet the requirements of data intensive sciences. We show that our software release is stable and performs well in order to be used in an international production infrastructure for physics data simulation with one High Energy Physics experiment. Furthermore, we outline the experience with interoperability solutions from the Grid Laboratory Uniform Environment (GLUE) activity.

description: Since May 2004, the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) beam line of the new 3 MV Tandetron accelerator of LABEC laboratory in Florence has been in operation. The line, equipped with the necessary hardware for 14C, 10Be, 26Al and 129I measurements, has been used only for radiocarbon measurements so far. We have been involved both in measurements on test samples and in dating applications in collaboration with Universities and other Institutions. After a brief description of the AMS beam line, we report on a set of radiocarbon measurements performed on samples of the Fifth International Radiocarbon Inter-comparison (VIRI) campaign. This campaign, coordinated by the Department of Statistics of the University of Glasgow, basically involves all the radiocarbon laboratories worldwide, both AMS and conventional beta-counting ones. Our data have been here compared to the statistical distributions of all collected data (average values and standard deviations).

description: Recently proposed novel idea of "crabbed waist" beam-beam collisions will be tested at DAΦNE during the collider run for the Siddharta experiment. In order to achieve the goal luminosity, large dynamic aperture is a matter of primary importance. A new method of a dynamic aperture optimization based on step-by-step chromaticity compensation with choosing the "best" sextupole pair at each step was applied to the DAΦNE upgrade lattice. Several tune points were considered taking into account both high luminosity and large dynamic aperture. Algorithm and results of optimization will be presented.

title: Plant Spacing: A Size Sensitive Model With Implications for Competition
Creators: name: Bayn, Robert L
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: An algorithm is presented which partitions space among mapped plants according to their relative sizes and positions using one of eight rules for locating boundaries between individuals. The performance of those rules is examined using several natural and artificial data sets with diverse measures of individual size. The relative performance of the rules was the same for all natural data sets examined. The best rule, as measured by a high correlation between individual size and assigned space, placed the boundary at a distance between neighbors proportional to the relative sizes of neighbors as long as a maximum distance (also a function of size) was not exceeded. It is inferred that the algorithm identifies contact neighbors and quantifies the extent of their contact. Afield experiment is proposed to test this inference.

We evaluate the non-equilibrium abundances in a dynamic model implementing the $1+2\leftrightarrow 3$ resonance formation reactions. Due to the strength of these reactions, we show the $Σ(1385)$ enhancement, and the $Λ(1520)$ suppression explicitly.

Transition Radiation Detector in MACRO
Creators: name: MACRO Collaboration
Publisher: name: INFN Open Access Repository
Year: 1999

description: The MACRO detector is located in the Gran Sasso Laboratory. MACRO's overburden varies from 3150 to 7000 hg/cm^2. A transition radiation detector (TRD) has been added to the MACRO detector in order to measure the residual energy of muons entering MACRO, i.e. the energy they have after passing through the Gran Sasso's rock overburden. The TRD consists of three identical modules with a total horizontal area of 36 m^2. The results presented here are referred to single and double events in MACRO with one muon crossing one of the TRD modules. Our data show that double muons are more energetic than single ones, as predicted by the interaction models of primary cosmic rays with the atmosphere.

description: A system assembling the target cell of the Hermes experiment on the beam line of the Hera storage ring has been designed. The experiment takes place in Hamburg at DESY laboratory and its aim is to measure the spin distributions of the quarks in proton and neutron.The system includes:- a mechanism opening the downstream spring fingers of the wake field suppressor, allowing the enforced elliptical end of the target cell to slide inside them;- a tooling aligning and positioning the target cell to and along the beam line for both the opening and mounting operations.This paper gives a brief description of the system.
title: Psychosocial Correlates of Criminal Behavior: Identity Styles of Male Inmates in The Utah State Prison
Creators: name: White, Joseph M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1994

description: One hundred ninety-four inmates responded to a measure
that taps Erikson's fifth stage of psychosocial development,
dealing with the issues of identity. Information concerning
previous and current criminal activity, along with basic
demographic information, was also collected. Cross-checks
conducted on selected information within the Utah State
Department of Correction's computer system suggest validity
for inmate self-reports. The criminal behavior questions
were addressed in two main sections: previous and current
criminal behavior.
Results illustrate consistent relationships that exist
between criminal behavior and cognitive identity style (the
corollary to Marcia's identity statuses). The identity
styles represent the process involved with personal decision
making and problem solving. Individuals with the style
labeled "Information orientation" thoroughly consider
relevant information before decisions and commitments are
made; those with a "Normative orientation" are primarily
concerned with the expectations of significant others; and
those with a "Diffuse/Avoidant orientation" procrastinate
and fail to resolve confronting problems.
Findings suggest that previous criminal behavior was
related to cognitive identity style; current criminal
behavior was not. Specifically, Diffuse/Avoidant
individuals are more likely to engage in substance use at a
younger age than their criminal peers, get arrested younger,
be involved in multiple arrests and convictions, have spent
a longer time in prison and/or jail, and to have previous
and current property convictions.
Inmates with a Normative style tend to use substances
at an older age than their criminal cohorts, are about four
years older at first arrest, have fewer arrests and
convictions, spend less time incarcerated, and are more
likely to have had a previous and current drug offense.
Information-oriented individuals tend to straddle these
extremes on most variables and show no profound trends in
the data. Discrimination between Diffuse/Avoidant and
Normative individuals has been found previously in substance
use research.

description: High-harmonic generation from hydrogenlike muonic atoms exposed to ultraintense high-frequency laser fields is calculated. Systems of low nuclear charge number Z are considered where a nonrelativistic description applies. By comparing the radiative response for different isotopes we demonstrate characteristic signatures of the finite nuclear mass and size in the harmonic spectra. In particular, for Z>1, an effective muon charge appears in the Schrödinger equation for the relative particle motion, which influences the position of the harmonic cutoff. Cutoff energies in the MeV domain can be achieved, offering prospects for the generation of ultrashort coherent gamma-ray pulses.

title: Differential Behavior of Coyotes with Regard to Home Range Limits
Creators: name: Harris, Charles E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: This study was conducted to examine coyote behavioral responses to novel stimuli in familiar and unfamiliar environments and the implications of this behavior with regard to specific coyote management and research techniques. A series of pen studies with captive coyotes was undertaken at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Predator Ecology and Behavior Project research site, Logan, Utah, to observe the range and type of behaviors coyotes showed towards small novel objects and standard scent stations in familiar and unfamiliar 1-ha enclosures. The initial response to these novel stimuli in familiar environments was one of neophobia and caution, whereas in the unfamiliar environment these same stimuli were readily approached and investigated. Field studies were undertaken at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory and Freer, Texas, to examine coyote visitation to scent stations inside, peripheral to, and outside their defined home ranges. Radio-collared coyotes were monitored to determine home range use and movement patterns, with relocations plotted on computer graphic maps and gridded base maps. Modified scent-station survey lines were run and visitations by marked coyotes plotted with respect to home range zone. Marked coyotes visited a greater percentage of scent stations peripheral to and outside their home ranges than inside. The socio-spatial distribution of coyotes, home range size, and percentage of road comprising home range zones influenced differential scent-station visitation rates. The importance of understanding the influences of animal behavior on wildlife management and research techniques is discussed.

description: The random percolation model can be viewed as the dual of a well defined confining gauge theory; since this theory, having no Monte Carlo dynamics at all, is simple to simulate, it is possible to study the properties of the flux tube with very high precision; we show it can be described by the effective string picture. Our results are lattice regularisation independent, therefore they are well defined also in the continuum limit, and, for the first time in a gauge theory, it has been possible to determine the next-to-leading quantum corrections throughout the computation of the T^6 coefficient of the Taylor expansion of sigma(T). Furthermore, this coefficient results to be related to the universal ratio T_c/\sqrt{sigma_0}.

description: The first kinetic study of transient growth for a collisionless homogeneous Maxwellian plasma in a uniform magnetic field is presented. A system which is linearly stable may display transient growth if the linear operator describing its evolution is non-normal, so that its eigenvectors are non-orthogonal. In order to include plasma kinetic effects a Landau fluid model is employed. The linear operator of the model is shown to be non-normal and the results suggest that the nonnormality of a collisionless plasma is intrinsically related to its kinetic nature, with the transient growth being more accentuated for smaller scales and higher plasma beta. The results based on linear spectral theory have been confirmed with nonlinear simulations.

title: An Apple Rest Model for Mild Winter Conditions
Creators: name: Del Real Laborde, Jose Ignacio
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: Two areas of research are reported: an experiment on the effects of warm temperature prestratification treatments on seed dormancy and a new chill unit model.  Crabapple seeds (Malus sargentii Rehd.) were allowed to imbibe water and were given warm pretreatments at temperatures of 16, 20, 24 and 28C for periods of 3, 10, 20 or 30 days before cold stratification at 4C for 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100 days. Pretreatments resulted in increased chilling requirements for seedling emergence. A short chilling period (20 days) also altered the leaf area, shoot length, internodal length and root/shoot ratio of the resulting seedlings. The new chill unit model was developed from data from seed experiments and tested with records of 11 years. A three-dimensional model for the transition through apple tree dormancy is proposed. The new model evaluates the effectiveness of different temperatures for the transition between dormancy induction and dormancy release according to physiological time. The standard of measurement for this model is the chill unit (CU), which is defined as the equivalent of one-hour exposure to the optimal temperature during the optimal physiological time for dormancy development. The general pattern of temperature activity for dormancy development is sigmoidal; and temperature effectiveness through the process varies according to length of exposure, temperature cycling and time. The new model permits a more accurate prediction of dormancy development under subtropical conditions than previous models and will predict the amount of leafing that will occur in spring. The prediction efficiency of leafing under subtropical conditions was improved from an r2 of 0.66 for the Utah Chill Unit Model to an r2 of 0.74 for the new model when compared under Mexican conditions.

description: We present evidence for an identical behavior of the precession of the accretion disk and that of the neutron star (NS) in Her X-1, based on investigating the well established 35 day modulation in Her X-1 in two different ways: 1) following the turn-ons, thought to be due to the precession of the accretion disk, and 2) following the re-appearance of the shape of the pulse profiles, which we assume to be due to precession of the NS. The turn-on evolution and the evolution of the phase-zero values of the precessing NS (as determined from the pulse profiles) track each other very closely. Since the turn-on evolution is strongly correlated with the pulse period evolution, this means that there is also a strong correlation between the spin and the precession of the NS. There is a very strong physical coupling between the NS and the accretion disk, we suggest through physical feedback in the binary system. The apparent long-term stability of the 35 d clock may be due to the interior of the NS, the coupling of which to the observable surface effects is of general importance for the physics of super-dense, highly magnetized material.

title: Utah and Mormon Migration in the Twentieth Century: 1890 to 1955
Creators: name: Carney, Todd Forsyth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: Most Utahns spent the years between Mormon entry into the Great Basin and statehood for Utah pursuing the traditional frontier-rural life, a mode which had been an integral part of the American experience since earliest colonial times. After the Mormon capitulation and statehood, Utah moved into a transitional phase, a phase between the traditional and the modern in which elements of each were mixed and mingled. This phase ended with the Second World War.
This transition to modernity affected migration behavior. Seen in light of migration theory, the Utah experience is something of an anomaly. One theory says that migration is the result of pushes from one place-- unemployment, low wages, poor climate, and similar conditions--and pulls to other places--available jobs, better pay, and lots of sunshine. The history of Utah migration during prewar years suggests another kind of pull, the pull not from outside to leave but from within to stay. The need and commitment to remain in what some call Zion {the Mormon culture region} was strong until the Second world War. After the war other needs and commitments intervened. Government-funded G.I. Bill education and a new sense of personal efficacy caused some to leave Utah for larger industrial and commercial centers. This study concludes by focusing on the experience of a few Utah veterans who migrated to California during the early 1950s.

description: The correspondence between the steady state theory of current transfer and scattering theory in a system of coupled tight-binding models of 1-dimensional wires is explored. For weak interwire coupling both calculations give nearly identical results, except at singular points associated with band edges. The effect of decoherence in each of these models is studied using a generalization of the Liouville-von Neuman equation suitable for steady-state situations. An example of a single impurity model is studied in details, leading to a lattice model of scattering off target that affects both potential scattering and decoherence. For an impurity level lying inside the energy band, the transmission coefficient diminishes with increasing dephasing rate, while the opposite holds for impurity energy outside the band. The efficiency of current transfer in the coupled wire system decreases with increasing dephasing.

description: The Great Plains variety of the sharp-tailed grouse Pediocetes phasianellus jamesi Lincoln was the predominant upland game bird during the exploratory and early settlement period in North Dakota (Coues 1874 and 1878 . Larson 1928, and Williams 1926) . Since then its status has diminished as the prairie grassland gradually was converted to intensively used pastures and cropland. Although the sharptail is still abundant enough in its remaining habitat to provide for liberal annual harvests , further demand on these lands by a growing human population will make it necessary to apply game management measures other than hunting regulations if the sharptail is to be retained as an important game bird in the state.
title: Automatic Registration of Multiple Texel Images to Form a 3-Dimensional Texel Image
Creators: name: Badamikar, Neeraj S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: Three-dimensional (3D) imagery has gained a lot of importance in today's world, be it in the field of entertainment, documentation, or defense. Multiple methods for creating 3D images have been proposed in the past. A few famous methods used for 3D image matching are those that include usage of 2D images as stereo pairs or computing 3D rigid body transformations based on range information of points. The Iterative Closest Point algorithm (ICP) and its variants are well known for registration of point clouds, which can be used to create 3D surfaces. This thesis provides an algorithm, which is a continuation of the work done previously at Utah State University, to create accurate 3D images based on "texel" images obtained from the handheld texel camera built at USU. The first part of the thesis briefly reviews the structure and working of the handheld texel camera and the technique of creating texel images using the device and calibrating the images to mitigate the effect of lens distortions. A method is then suggested to reduce the errors in the range information in the image caused by walk error and wiggling error and also to compensate for the timing error induced in the individual pixels of the lidar sensor. A way to add a correcting factor to the range information to compensate for any oset in the origin assumed by the sensor and the actual center of perspective (COP) of the sensor is suggested in the later part of the thesis, thus correcting the images for the inaccuracies caused by the oset. The second half of the thesis brie y goes over the work previously done on 3D image matching and registration to produce 3D images. A few changes are suggested in some parts of the existing method, which use concepts of epipolar geometry in the RANSAC algorithm and use planar interpolation to accurately obtain the 3D co-ordinates of points from 2D coordinates. An iterative solution is proposed to correct erroneously chosen correspondences or reject bad correspondences to improve the rigid body transformation. The transformation thus obtained is used to compute more point matches, which are in turn used to estimate a more accurate least squares solution for the rigid body transformation. Results show that the calibration techniques and the changes implemented in the point cloud matching algorithm, suggested in this thesis, improve the accuracy of the images and produce 3D images with correct matching.

description: This study focused on testing the effects of agricultural education on urban high school students’ career choices. It looked into how students view agriculture, how they perceive their peers view agriculture, how their demographics are related to career choice, and if their career choice was changed to a different career upon completion of the study. The study showed a positive relationship between completing an agricultural education class in animal science and interest in going into an agricultural career. Further, females in the study were more likely to choose an agricultural career. After the completion of a school-based agricultural education program, both students and their peers had a more positive outlook on agriculture and its possibilities as a career. Students also increased their career self-efficacy score during the completion of an animal science agricultural education course. They became more confident in their ability to make decisions related to their future career.

Year: 2014

description: The purpose of the study was to explore the potential of resident employed photography as a context sensitive assessment tool in roadway design by identifying the key elements of resident employed photography and context sensitivity and then exploring the potential of the elements of resident employed photography that may contribute to context sensitivity in roadway design. State and federal transportation agencies have identified principles and potential outcomes with the intent to guide processes that are sensitive to the context of a project’s surroundings. The improved design of public roadways to meet the needs of those who live and travel along them is the goal of these agencies. Resident employed photography is the use of a photograph to obtain information from a participant. The study explored resident employed photography as a context sensitive technique in the discovery of the attributes that reflect and define participant attachment to an environment. The technique therefore relied upon the existing community in the establishment of elements of value to be used to shape and guide the roadway design of the realignment of Utah State Route 30 through a neighborhood in Logan, Utah. Cameras and photograph logs were distributed to households in the residential area and participants were invited to provide contextual information about their neighborhood with regard to the proposed realignment. This information was gathered and analyzed using a grounded theory approach. The data derived from the participant’s photos, written comments, and interviews shaped and added to the research questions and resultant theory. In the study, areas of concern and mitigation ideas as identified by the participants found that a complete streets approach focused on maintaining or improving the feel of the neighborhood may be the best possible alternative in the realignment of SR-30. However, the success of this alternative is largely dependent upon a design professional’s consideration of the contextual relevance of the data provided through resident employed photography.

description: Training and development are essential components of human resource management, significantly influencing employee performance and organizational success. This study examines the impact of training and development initiatives on employee performance within KNOT Coaching & Consulting’s corporate clients in Karur. Utilizing a descriptive research design, primary data was collected through surveys, interviews, and observations, while secondary data was sourced from internal records and training materials. A sample of 120 employees from five client companies was selected using stratified random sampling to ensure diverse representation. The findings reveal that well-structured training programs positively influence job efficiency, work quality, and adaptability, contributing to enhanced employee satisfaction and retention. Conversely, inadequate training can lead to skill gaps and reduced performance. This research offers practical recommendations for optimizing training strategies, ultimately fostering a high-performance workplace culture.

description: Heavy Ion Collisions (HIC) represent a unique tool to probe the in-medium nuclear interaction in regions away from saturation. In this report we present a selection of new reaction observables in dissipative collisions particularly sensitive to the symmetry term of the nuclear Equation of State (Iso-EoS). We will first discuss the Isospin Equilibration Dynamics. At low energies this manifests via the recently observed Dynamical Dipole Radiation, due to a collective neutron-proton oscillation with the symmetry term acting as a restoring force. At higher beam energies Iso-EoS effects will be seen in Imbalance Ratio Measurements, in particular from the correlations with the total kinetic energy loss. For fragmentation reactions in central events we suggest to look at the coupling between isospin distillation and radial flow. In Neck Fragmentation reactions important $Iso-EoS$ information can be obtained from the correlation between isospin content and alignement. The high density symmetry term can be probed from isospin effects on heavy ion reactions at relativistic energies (few AGeV range). Rather isospin sensitive observables are proposed from nucleon/cluster emissions, collective flows and meson production. The possibility to shed light on the controversial neutron/proton effective mass splitting in asymmetric matter is also suggested. A large symmetry repulsion at high baryon density will also lead to an "earlier" hadron-deconfinement transition in n-rich matter. A suitable treatment of the isovector interaction in the partonic EoS appears very relevant.

description: The CUSB-II Collaboration has inferred the hadronic widths of the Xb(2P_J) states from the measured branching fractions and the potential model rates of their E1 decays. These widths agree qualitatively with perturbative QCD calculations. The disagreement in absolute values of the widths between the experimental and QCD predictions confirm the same situation as in the charmonium system, which means more precision measurements are sorely needed.
title: The Effects of Simultaneous Script-Training and Fading Procedures on the Mand Variability of Children with Autism
Creators: name: Kelley, Kristen N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Individuals with autism often display rote and repetitive responding across behavioral topographies. One area that is often affected is the individual’s verbal repertoire. In an attempt to build and expand verbal repertoires, script and script fading procedures have often been implemented to teach individuals new and varied verbal behavior. Script training and fading procedures have also been used specifically to remediate deficits in an individual’s mand repertoire. Researchers have examined the effects of script training and fading procedures on the variability within an individual’s mand repertoire. This line of research is of great importance since a lack of variability in mands can limit an individual’s access to desired and/or needed items as well as social interactions. In the present study, we implemented simultaneous script training and fading procedures to increase the variability of mands used by three preschool-aged children (one male and two females) diagnosed with autism. We implemented these procedures in an attempt to promote mand variability using antecedent only procedures and to teach variability explicitly in our script training and fading preparation. It was also our goal to address some of the limitations that arose in the previously conducted mand variability studies, namely, the suppression of the default mand frame. At the conclusion of the study, and following procedural modifications, all three participants demonstrated an increase in variability of mand frames. This increase was observed following the inclusion of extinction procedures and following low levels of variability while using antecedent-only procedures. Participants in this study demonstrated an average of one mand frame following antecedent-only procedures and this increased to an average of three mand frames following the inclusion of extinction procedures. The combination of the antecedent procedures and extinction further increased variability across participants. The need for the extinction condition led to many limitations in this study including the limitations analyzed in the simultaneous script training and fading procedures.

description: We report the results of the working group on 'Pion (Kaon) and Sigma Polarizabilities'. Interesting possibilities to measure these polarizabilities include the radiative pion photoproduction in the MAMI experiment at Mainz, as well as at the GRAAL facility (actually the latter is being considered for an experimental determination of the pion polarizabilities here for the first time), the experimental plans on Primakoff effect at FNAL, and the measurements at the Frascati ϕ-factory DAPHNE.

title: Supporting Students with Psychiatric Disabilities in Postsecondary Education: Important Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes
Creators: name: Kupferman, Scott I.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: Students with psychiatric disabilities are the largest subgroup of students with disabilities enrolled in postsecondary education. However, their high enrollment rate does not equate to a high retention rate. Approximately 86 percent of students with psychiatric disabilities withdraw prior to degree completion. As a result, calls for improved disability services in postsecondary education have been plentiful. In an effort to take a step toward answering these calls, the current study began the exploratory process of identifying knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are important for disability service professionals to possess in order to provide beneficial services to students with psychiatric disabilities in postsecondary education. The current study began with the developing of a survey instrument using (a) a three-round Delphi survey with expert panels consisting of disability service professionals and students with psychiatric disabilities and (b) a pilot group of disability service professionals. The final instrument with 54 knowledge, skills, and attitudes was rated by a sample of 402 disability service professionals who were members of the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD). A principal components analysis was used to analyze the data. Five factors emerged: (a) Ethical and Legal Considerations, (b) Accommodations and Supports, (c) Disability Aspects, (d) Community Resources, and (e) Campus Considerations. A post-hoc analysis with a MANOVA and descriptive statistics was also conducted. Each factor was explored within the context of the literature. Further, differences between professional and student perceptions were highlighted. Lastly, implications, assumptions, limitations, and recommendations for future research were discussed.
On the Extension of the Fermi-Watson Theorem on High Energy Diffraction

Year: 1995

description: The Fermi-Watson theorem, established for low energy reactions and then applied to high energy collisions, is revisited. Its use for the processes of inelastic diffraction is discussed. The theorem turns out to be valid in the case of inclusive cross-section of diffractive transictions.
title: Mothers' and Fathers' Attachment Relationships with Children who Have Disabilities
Creators: name: Lopez, Sheila
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Research has found that attachment relationships between parents and children are formed independent of each other and have different outcomes for the child. Very little research regarding parent-child attachment relationships has been done with children who have a disability. This study aimed to learn more about whether differences exist in attachment relationships between mothers and fathers and whether or not the child has a disability. Results indicate that fathers of children with a disability appear to have less secure attachments with their children compared to fathers of typically developing children as well as mothers of children with and without disabilities. It is unclear as to why this may be; however, it is hypothesized that factors such as understanding the child’s needs and being able to engage in highly stimulating play (e.g., throwing child in the air, etc.) may contribute to this finding. Further research is needed to better understand what factors contribute to the development of a secure attachment between the father-child dyad when the child has a disability and why fathers may be experiencing greater difficulty than mothers of children with a disability as well as fathers of typically developing children.
Impacto de diferentes técnicas de processamento na cor, matéria seca e atividade da água de larvas de Tenebrio molitor

description: Os insetos comestíveis são uma nova alternativa alimentar, apresentando-se como uma excelente fonte proteica, com grande sustentabilidade ambiental. É vital otimizar as técnicas de processamento de insetos por forma a garantir as melhores condições para a sua utilização como ingrediente alimentar. Neste trabalho, procurou-se compreender os efeitos de diferentes métodos de branqueamento e secagem e a aplicação de ácido ascórbico na cor, teor de matéria seca e atividade da água de larvas Tenebrio molitor. Os resultados obtidos permitiram observar que as condições de branqueamento, nomeadamente a 100ºC, resultaram num menor teor de matéria seca e numa melhor manutenção da cor ao longo do tempo. A aplicação de ácido ascórbico revelou-se inconstante e com efeitos reduzidos na cor das larvas, quer após branqueamento como após secagem. Todas as condições de secagem (forno, micro-ondas e desidratador) resultaram em elevados teores de matéria seca. No entanto, a utilização do micro-ondas permitiu obter os melhores resultados a nível de cor. Assim, estes métodos convencionais podem ser aplicados no processamento de larvas, garantindo a sua segurança alimentar a um custo mais reduzido que a utilização do liofilizador.

description: Scalar wavelets have been used extensively in the analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature maps. Spin needlets are a new form of (spin) wavelets which were introduced in the mathematical literature by Geller and Marinucci (2008) as a tool for the analysis of spin random fields. Here we adopt the spin needlet approach for the analysis of CMB polarization measurements. The outcome of experiments measuring the polarization of the CMB are maps of the Stokes Q and U parameters which are spin 2 quantities. Here we discuss how to transform these spin 2 maps into spin 2 needlet coefficients and outline briefly how these coefficients can be used in the analysis of CMB polarization data. We review the most important properties of spin needlets, such as localization in pixel and harmonic space and asymptotic uncorrelation. We discuss several statistical applications, including the relation of angular power spectra to the needlet coefficients, testing for non-Gaussianity on polarization data, and reconstruction of the E and B scalar maps.

description: Nous avons analysé l'impact des taxes environnementales sur les recettes de la DGRAD de 2015 à 2021. L'objectif était d'évaluer leur part dans les recettes de la DGRAD et leur influence sur les recettes non fiscales. Il s'est révélé que la fiscalité environnementale en RDC est davantage axée sur le rendement budgétaire que sur la modification des comportements. L'absence de législation claire nuit à l'efficacité de ces taxes. Il est nécessaire de réformer le régime fiscal environnemental, en clarifiant les écotaxes et en ajustant les taux selon la pollution réelle plutôt que la capacité de stockage.
