"I wish he would explain his explanation"
Creators: name: Bacigalupo, Massimo
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 1996

description: Writers often explicate their work, but their comments are not necessarily trustworthy. Strictly speaking, they are new statements that need themselves to be interpreted and that bear a problematic relationship to the text they propose to explicate. This is shown by examples from Stevens and Pound, both notably obscure writers who, like other modernists, often provided readers with authorial explications. While their attitudes were different, and Stevens insisted that "the basis of criticism is the work, not the hidden intention of the writer", both ultimately fell back on their individual (realistic) perception of the world. They were also alike in being finally impatient with requests for explanation, being much more concerned with the work ahead - with "Making It New".

description: The dynamical evolution of the Prometheus and Pandora pair of satellites is chaotic, with a short 3.3 years Lyapunov time. It is known that the anti-alignment of the apses line of Prometheus and Pandora, which occurs every 6.2 years, is a critical configuration that amplifies their chaotic dynamical evolution. However, the mutual interaction between Prometheus and Pandora is not enough to explain the longitudinal lags observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. The main goal of the current work is to identify the main contributors to the chaotic dynamical evolution of the Prometheus-Pandora pair beyond themselves. Therefore, in this work, we first explore the sensibility of this dynamical system to understand it numerically and then build numerical experiments to reach our goals. We identified that almost all major satellites of the Saturn system play a significant role in the evolution of Prometheus' and Pandora's orbits.

title: Variations in Volatiles from Lamb Adipose Tissue
Creators: name: Chen, Yn-Mei
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: Lamb adipose tissue, representing 4 breeds, 3 sex-types and 3 weight categories, were studied to measure the variation in the flavor profile between individual animals, based on breed, sex- type and carcass weight. The flavor concentrates were prepared by steam distillation, ether extraction and fractionation. Pooled samples were prepared in the same way to measure any variations due to methodology.
Gas chromatographic separation and statistical analysis, based on analysis of variance, indicated that 21 peaks out of 124 peaks showed significant differences (at 5% level or 1% level). Among these 21 peaks, 5 were affected by breed, 4 by sex-type, 8 by carcass weight and 7 peaks were influenced by the interaction of breed, sex-type and carcass weight. Variations due to breed revealed that Rambouillet lambs possessed the highest proportion of flavor peaks which showed significant differences, with Targhee lambs the second highest, Columbia the third and Suffolk- cross the lowest proportion of flavor compounds. The effect of sex-type suggested that was contributed to the highest concentration of peaks which might influence the expression of flavor. However, there was no evidence showing that the concentration of peaks for ewes was greater than that of wethers or vice versa. Differences associated with weight indicated that light animals yielded a higher concentration of flavor volatiles, medium weight lambs the second and heavy lambs the lowest concentration of volatiles. The influence of the interaction of three variables was found to be more prevalent in the combination of Suffolk-cross ewe heavy and Suffolk- cross ewe medium . Several reasons are employed to explain the deviations of some peaks present in the chromatograms of pooled samples.

description: We study the secant variety of the spinor variety, focusing on its equations of degree three and four. We show that in type $D_n$, cubic equations exist if and only if $n\ge 9$. In general the ideal has generators in degrees at least three and four. Finally we observe that the other Freudenthal varieties exhibit strikingly similar behaviors.
Three Aesthetes in Profile
Creators: name: Ascari, Maurizio
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 1996

description: This essay, which is part of a work in progress, opens with a sketch of the fin de siecle aesthete, a figure who appears to question some of the basic categories that contribute to shape identity, i.e. nationality, culture, and gender. Against this backdrop, three jarnesian characters play their respective roles: Gilbert Osmond in The Portrait of a Lady, Mark Ambient in "The Author of Beltraffio", and Gabriel Nash in The Tragic Muse. Their highly individual profiles seem to participate in an underlying dynamics of art, whose axes are defined by opposite poles such as here vs. elsewhere and mobility vs. immobility. Thus, these three complex and intriguing characters, who may be seen as "variations" on James's nomadic choice of expatriation, help us to problematize the author's ambivalent relationship to the aesthetic movement and his allegiance to realism.

description: This paper examines the general formalism and applications of isotropic as well as anisotropic polytropic stars in curvature-matter coupled gravity. For this purpose, we consider static spherical and Schwarzschild spacetimes in the interior and exterior regions, respectively. We use two polytropic equations of state to obtain physically viable solutions of the field equations. The hydrostatic equilibrium and Lane-Emden equations are developed for both isotropic as well as anisotropic cases. We study the effects of anisotropic pressure on the stellar structure. Moreover, we graphically inspect the physical behavior of isotropic as well as anisotropic polytropes through energy conditions and stability criterion. Finally, we discuss Tolman mass to explore some characteristics of the models. It is concluded that more viable and stable polytropes are found in this theory as compared to general relativity.

description: This essay deals with one of James's tales of 'Literary Life'. A complex and multidimensional tale which here is read as a metaliterary story demanding a metareading. The creative act here is not merely a form of thematic representation as the tale allegorizes its own functioning and has itself en abime. Anticipating the skeptical epistemology of contemporary literature, the tale recounts the uselessness of looking for the "essence", for a single unambiguous meaning.

title: Evaluation of a Wescor Dew Point Microvoltmeter Model HR 33T for Measuring Water Activity in Foods
Creators: name: Kidambi, Ranga N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The Wescor Dew Point Microvoltmeter, Model HR 33T, together with a Wescor C-52 sample chamber, was used to measure water activities between aw 1.0 and aw 0.60. Because of temperature gradient problems, the sample chamber was mounted in a styrofoam insulation box constructed so that the chamber could be opened and the sample replaced while it remained inside the closed insulation box. The standard psychrometric procedure was used for samples with a w between 1 and 0.94. A modified procedure was used for samples dryer than a 0.94. The sample chamber was first loaded with water, and water was condensed on the thermocouple. The water was then replaced by sliding the sample into the chamber, and the psychrometric cooling of the thermocouple measured. The procedure was calibrated with a series of salt solutions and saturated salt slurries of known aw, and was used to measure aw of a variety of foods. Four subsample determinations were made on from 8 to 23 separate days of the foods or standards.
Typical water activity mean and standard deviation values were : milk chocolate bar .60 ~ .035; corn syrup sol ids .60 _I_ .019; nonfat dry milk .7 5 + .017; cashews . 75 ± .021; sunflower seeds .75 ± .022; orange juice concentrate .80 ± .026; whey concentrate . 83 ± .030; chocolate fudge sauce . 85 ± .028; Cheddar cheese .95 ± .026; salami .96 ± .019; Swiss cheese .9 6 ± .019; processed cheese spread .96 ± .023; Gouda cheese .99 ± .041; and soy sauce .98 ± .019. The coefficient of variations ranged from 1.9 to 5.8%. Accuracy of the instrument was good in that the a values varied only s = ± .03 for the literature values for various foods. No fouling of the detector occurred when powders were evaluated. Analysis time was 5 min for samples over aw 0.94 and 10 min for low aw samples. The Wescor instrument appeared to be rapid, economical, and to have good repeatability.

title: The Effect of Informed Consent Procedures on Sensory Panel Studies
Creators: name: Smith, Roxanne E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: Through telephone conversations with directors of 25 randomly selected sensory panels, it was established that the informed consent procedures of no-risk sensory panels vary greatly. The concern about biases of panelists' judgements, resulting from information given as part of the informed consent procedures, has been given as the reason for modifying or ignoring federally defined informed consent procedures. A series of three in-house and two separate consumer sensory panels were designed to test whether the ratings of altered flavor, altered viscosity, and unaltered milk could be affected by informed consent form usage. Two separate test situations included informed consent forms that were designed to induce participant apprehension. Another test condition included informed consent forms designed in such a manner as to emphasize the desirability of the samples. A control test situation that included no informed consent forms was also administered.
In each panel, the off flavor, viscosity, and hedonic rating means of all samples and of each type of sample did not differ significantly when the samples were presented with each of the informed consent forms. When apprehension-inducing informed consent forms stating that the milk samples were obtained from diseased cows were used, the effect of the in-house sensory panelists' previous dairy experiences was to significantly raise their intensity and lower their hedonic ratings of milk samples at p = 0.05 and p = 0.01, respectively . This effect of informed consent usage was not lessened or increased by repeated form usage. This biasing effect of informed consent procedures was not found in consumer panel data. It is believed that the less controlled environment of the consumer panels and general trust of panelists resulted in less panelist attention to details of the panel and, therefore, less comprehension of the implications of the informed consent form. The possibility of biases resulting from informed consent usage should be considered in interpreting results of experiments in which informed consent procedures are used.
The age of panelists in both the in-house and consumer panels was related to off flavor and hedonic ratings at p 0.01. In a linear manner, as panelists' ages increased, most liked the samples more and rated them as being less off flavored.
Additionally, hedonic ratings of bitter and control samples were found to differ significantly between smoking and nonsmoking panel participants. Panelists who smoked cigarettes, cigars, and/or pipes rated these samples as less off flavored (at p = 0.10) and higher on the hedonic scale (at p = 0.05) than did nonsmoking panelists.

title: Central Nervous System Toxicity of Alpha-Chaconine in Rats
Creators: name: Aldous, Charles Newell
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: Effects of alpha-chaconine were examined in the central nervous system on the basis of electrophysiological tests and by assaying for changes in the levels of several known neurotransmitters of the brain. The possibility that brain acetylcholine levels might increase corresponding to acetylcholinesterase inhibition in treated rats was investigated where an increase would suggest that the anti-acetylcholinesterase activity of alpha-chaconine was physiologically significant.
Various doses of alpha-chaconine were given to rats prepared for physiological tests. Some symptoms were observed at relatively low doses (8 to 10 milligrams per kilogram). These included constriction of abdominal muscles~ respiratory impairment~ and sedation. At the same dosage the electroencephalogram pattern was altered by a notable increase in the low-frequency component. Tachycardia was observed at both low (10 milligrams per kilogram) and at high doses (40 milligrams per kilogram)~ whereas intermediate doses (20 to 30 milligrams per kilogram) were associated with bradycardia.
Although other physiological tests implicated the brain as the target organ, analyses of brain neurotransmitter chemicals failed to show significant trends. Compounds assayed were acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and the serotonin metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. The observation that acetylcholine levels were unchanged after alpha-chaconine administration did not support the hypothesis that the major toxic effect of the test compound was caused by alterations in the levels of this neurotransmitter.
The nuclear arms race : Australian perceptions
Creators: name: Newman, Margaret
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Using four options regarding nuclear arming and disarming, the perceived nuclear arming preferences of American and Soviet leaders were obtained from survey data of Australian groups (Federal Parliamentarians, members of the Chamber of Commerce, Peace groups and Army personnel). The results show a small but consistent trend, for a perceived American preference for unilateral nuclear armament and, depending on political subgroup, a perceived Soviet preference either for unilateral nuclear armament or for mutual nuclear disarmament. By contrast, the subgroups differ on whether the United States is seen as a peace-loving nation but most saw the Soviet Union as an aggressive nation. The chance of a nuclear war occurring during the next decade was estimated to be from four percent (Liberal Parliamentarian group) to 42 percent (Peace group). All groups expressed a strong personal preference that mutual nuclear disarmament is the most desirable option for Australia. The majority of the data for the perceived preferences of the American and Soviet leaders is subsumed under seven 2x2 games. Of these games, the Prisoner's Dilemma is most representative of the respondents' perceptions. The implications associated with this, and the other frequently occurring games, are discussed along with reference to the model of a perceptual dilemma.
The Vanishing of Indian Princesses, or The Sentimental Transformation of the Pocahontas Myth
Creators: name: Cagidemetrio, Alide
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 1996

description: The Indian Princess is a recurring figure in the sentimental plots of historical novels on the white-Indian conflict in post-revolutionary America. In Susanna Rowson's Reuben and Rachel (1798), or in Catharine Sedgwick's Hope Leslie (1827), and Joseph Hart's Miriam Coffin (1934), such a figure shares the "vanishing Indian" paradigm of sacrifice and disappearence, but with gendered and racial specifications that define the notions of republican womanhood and monoracial family. By comparing the Indian princess's fictional destiny with that of the sentimental heroine, the essay investigates similarities and differences, and focuses on "rape" as the event whose absence, or presence, provides narrative evidence of the new order in matters of gender and race.

title: Effects of Acid Fermentation, Dry-Heat and Wet-Heat Processing on the Bioavailability of Calcium, Iron and Fluoride in Mechanically-Deboned Beef
Creators: name: Tso, Tzy-Bin Nancy
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: Mechanically-deboned beef shank (MDS) and hand-deboned beef shank (HDS) were prepared into thuringer (acid fermented), canned meat (retorted) and bologna (dry-heated) . Raw meat and these products were then lyophilized and mixed into balanced diets and fed to weanling male rats for three weeks to evaluate the bioavailability of calcium, iron and fluoride. Bioavailability of calcium from MDS and its processed products was determined by feeding growing male rats with 5. 01 to 5. 53 g Ca/kg from MDS. HDS diets with 0. 18 to 7.13 g Ca/kg added from calcium carbonate w e re also fed to rats for a relative comparison. The bioavailability of calcium in MDS appeared to be in the same range as that of calcium carbonate as evidenced by apparent absorption, relative biological values, bone ash and calcium content, and breaking strength of femora. Processing by acid fermentation, dry-heat or wet-heat did not affect calcium bioavailability of MDS and HDS. Iron bioavailability from MDS and HDS was evaluated by apparent iron absorption value, terminal hemoglobin level, and liver iron storage. This study indicates that the iron from HDS was more efficiently utilized than the iron from MDS; however, MDS contains 30 percent more metabolizable iron than HDS. Fermentation processing improved, whereas retorting and high level of dietary calcium (7. 13 g Ca/kg) depressed the absorption and utilization of iron from MDS and HDS. Apparent fluoride absorption, retention and bone (vertebra and femur) fluoride content were assayed to evaluate fluoride bioavailability. Processing by acid fermentation, dry-heat or wet-heat tended to decrease fluoride apparent absorption and retention. Bone fluoride contents were more related to dietary fluoride levels rather than to processing procedures. This study indicates that bone fluoride content is probably a more reliable measure to evaluate fluoride bioavailability than the percent absorption and retention values.

description: Spin ice materials are magnetic substances in which the spin directions map onto hydrogen positions in water ice. Recently this analogy has been elevated to an electromagnetic equivalence, indicating that the spin ice state is a Coulomb phase, with magnetic monopole excitations analogous to ice's mobile ionic defects. No Coulomb phase has yet been proved in a real magnetic material, as the key experimental signature is difficult to resolve in most systems. Here we measure the scattering of polarised neutrons from the prototypical spin ice Ho2Ti2O7. This enables us to separate different contributions to the magnetic correlations to clearly demonstrate the existence of an almost perfect Coulomb phase in this material. The temperature dependence of the scattering is consistent with the existence of deconfined magnetic monopoles connected by Dirac strings of divergent length.

New cosmological model

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The present situation in cosmology is discussed. We try to explain the observed distribution of quasars in terms of an inhomogeneous model universe that consists of inner and outer Friedmann zones separated by a transition zone. The number - red-shift relation is derived, and numerical calculations are performed on the assumption that the transition zone is negligible. When the results are compared with observation, it is found that the dearth of quasars with red-shifts greater than 2 is easily explained, but that one cannot account for their anisotropic distribution. Modifications of the model are suggested.

description: Gaia EDR3 offers greatly improved kinematics for nearby objects, including members of nearby young stellar moving groups (NYMGs). In this study, we aim to identify low-mass NYMG members (spectral types of M0 to mid-L) in Gaia EDR3. We calculated spatio-kinematic membership probabilities utilising a Bayesian membership probability calculation scheme developed in our previous study. We evaluated stellar youth primarily based on colour-magnitude diagram positions. Combining spatio-kinematic membership assessment and youth evaluation, we identified ~2900 low-mass NYMG candidate members including ~700 previously claimed members. In the set of ~2200 new candidate members, ~550 appear to be young based on NUV brightness. Our pilot spectroscopic study with WiFeS on the ANU 2.3-m telescope observed 78 candidates, with 79 per cent confirmed as members. Using our new member sample, we estimated an isochronal age of the beta-Pictoris Moving Group. The mean age (~10 Myr), which is around half the age of recent estimates, suggests either a truly younger age of the beta-Pictoris Moving Group or inaccuracies in contemporary isochrones. As the main results of this study, we provide lists of newly confirmed and candidate low-mass NYMG members.

title: Spatial Ecology and Captive Behavior of Rehabilitated Black Bears in Utah
Creators: name: Myers, Patrick J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Animal movements and space use are fundamental components of life and play integral roles in organismal fitness, population dynamics, and the ecology and evolution of species. The heterogeneous distribution of resources and the movement required to access them, results in ecology being a fundamentally spatial concept. Thus, elucidating animal-habitat relationships is a central focus of wildlife ecology and conservation. I utilized GPS technology, resource selection functions, and generalized linear mixed models, to investigate the immediate post-release movements, denning chronology, release-site fidelity, and season-delineated movements, home ranges, and resource use for six, orphaned and rehabilitated black bears (Ursus americanus). This study represents the first application of GPS monitoring and resource selection for rehabilitated black bears. Data from this study provide insights into the activity of released rehabilitated black bear cubs, highlight trends among the release cohort, and illustrate the variability of individual behavior. Results indicate species-typical behaviors, with bears denning shortly after their releases, exhibiting elevated movement rates and dispersals during late-summer, preferential selection for certain habitat types based on season, and no utilization of anthropogenic-resources.
One primary concern for large carnivores that have been captive-reared or had prolonged exposure to humans during rehabilitation, is whether they will exhibit natural behaviors after release. Behavior testing in other species has revealed that many traits exhibited in captivity often translate to wild behavior, however this had not yet been investigated for black bears. This study presents the first application of captive behavior tests for the investigation into black bear personality, defined by consistency in the individual differences in behavior across time or context. Through open field, novel object, startle object, and focal-animal sampling, we investigate the potential for personality in six black bear cubs. Results indicate consistency in behavior across five metrics for the bold-shy axis, and eight sampling events measuring responses for the activity axis, thus indicating personality. Analysis to identify correlations to wild activity metrics did not yield strong statistical support, however. Information presented here may provide a framework for future research into black bear personality, its relationship to life-history and ecology, and lend support for rehabilitation practices for orphan bear cubs.

description: We investigate an effective low energy theory of HgTe quantum wells near their mass inversion thickness in a perpendicular magnetic field. By comparison of the effective band structure with a more elaborated and well-established model, the parameter regime and the validity of the effective model is scrutinized. Optical transitions in HgTe quantum wells are analyzed. We find selection rules which we functionalize to optically manipulate edge state transport. Qualitatively, our findings equally apply to optical edge current manipulation in graphene.

description: The Holevo quantity and the $SU(2)$-invariant states have particular importance in quantum information processing. We calculate analytically the Holevo quantity for bipartite systems composed of spin-$j$ and spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ subsystems with $SU(2)$ symmetry, when the projective measurements are performed on the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ subsystem. The relations among the Holevo quantity, the maximal values of the Holevo quantity and the states are analyzed in detail. In particular, we show that the Holevo quantity increases in the parameter region $FF_d$ when $j$ increases, where $F$ is function of temperature in thermal equilibrium and $F_d=j/(2j+1)$, and the maximum value of the Holevo quantity is attained at $F=1$ for all $j$. Moreover, when the dimension of system increases, the maximal value of the Holevo quantity decreases.

The structural background of those functional relations is given by the symmetry with respect to Weyl groups. From those relations we can deduce explicit expressions of values of Witten zeta-functions at positive even integers, which is written in terms of generalized Bernoulli numbers of root systems. Furthermore we introduce generating functions of those Bernoulli numbers of root systems, by which we can give an algorithm of calculating Bernoulli numbers of root systems.

The minimum-length deformed quantization affects field theory both at the first and second quantization levels. Performing an exact calculation to the first order in deformation parameter, both of the corrections turn out to be of the same order. Nevertheless, the correction at the second quantization level has some qualitative difference, that may be interesting for future study to differentiate between these two sorts of corrections. In itself the correction to the black body radiation seems to be innocuous in light of the big-bang nucleosynthesis whenever the minimum length is less or equal to $10^{-19}$cm.

title: Influence of Disturbance on Greater Sage-Grouse Habitat Selection in Southern Utah

description: The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) is a species of conservation concern that occupies sagebrush-dominated (Artemisia spp.) landscapes across the western United States and southern Canada. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) reviewed the status of the sage-grouse in September 2015 and determined that it did not warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act due to collaborative efforts between numerous public and private stakeholders. However, this decision hinged on federal and state commitments to continue science-based management of sagebrush habitats. As human development increases across the west, there is an increasing need for understanding the impacts of disturbance on sage-grouse. Filling this knowledge gap is important because it will allow us to predict how sage-grouse populations may respond to changes in the future. I assessed how two types of disturbance (wildfire and transmission line construction) influenced habitat use of a population of sage-grouse in southern Utah. I deployed Global Positioning System (GPS) transmitters on 26 (21 male and 5 female) sage-grouse in the Bald Hills Sage-Grouse Management Area in 2014 and 2015 to record what habitat sage-grouse were using during the summer and winter seasons. I compared these used locations to habitat that was seasonally available to the birds using resource selection functions. My models showed that in the summer, birds showed preference for areas burned and reclaimed within the last 10 years. I suggest that this may be occurring because the birds are seeking out vegetation that was seeded by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) during wildfire reclamation. In the winter, my models showed an overall 3% decrease in predicted probability of use for winter habitat in the vicinity of the transmission line corridor, but this change did not immediately result in increased avoidance by sage-grouse when comparing spatial distributions for sage-grouse locations within winter habitat near the transmission line. I suggest that this is because the new transmission line was paired with a preexisting line which was already avoided by sage-grouse. However, the construction of the new line could have long-term consequences outside the two year scope of my study. These impacts could be delayed because sage-grouse are strongly tied to historic habitats and may not change habitat use immediately in spite of landscape changes. Additionally, the presence of the new line could cause indirect landscape changes which may only manifest over longer time periods such as increasing human activity in the area or changing the distribution of avian predators of sage-grouse that use the transmission line for perching. I recommend continued monitoring of sage-grouse in the area to determine if any changes in habitat use manifest in future years.
A computer simulation of ST segment shift in myocardial ischaemia

description: This thesis presents a computer simulation of electrocardiographic ST segment shift in myocardial ischaemia to elucidate the source of ST changes in both subendocardial and transmural ischaemia. A realistic torso model was constructed, in which the myocardium was represented by the bidomain model. In a normal heart, there is no current source during the ST segment and there is a minimal ST potential field. With myocardial ischaemia, the transmembrane potential of ischaemic cells changes, allowing current to flow between the ischaemic and nonischaemic regions, which generates ST segment shift. The ischaemic regions included in the model were those measured using fluorescent microspheres in a sheep model, and the transmembrane potentials were generated from values extracted from the literature. Subendocardial ischaemia in the territory supplied by either the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) or left circumflex coronary artery (LOX) was simulated, showing that the current source is produced at the ischaemic boundary, with the positive source at the ischaemic and the negative source at the normal side of the boundary. At the intramural boundary, the current flow is highly localised around the boundary, while at the lateral boundary normal to the endocardium, current flows both by crossing the boundary and through the intracavity blood. Epicardial ST depression is seen over the lateral boundary while endocardial ST elevation appears over the ischaemic region. The source in the septum is not seen on the epicardium because it is surrounded by highly conductive blood. LAD and LCX ischaemia share the lateral boundary and produce a similar pattern of epicardial ST depression on the left free wall. Transmural ischaemia of varying size was studied. Transmural ischaemia of a small region produces localised ST elevation over the ischaemic region with little ST depression elsewhere on the epicardium and a similar pattern on the endocardium with a much lower amplitude. Ischaemia in either the LAD or LCX territory produces a strong dipole on the epicardium over the left lateral region, with ST elevation on the ischaemic region and ST depression on the nonischaemic region. ST depression in transmural ischaemia is generated with ST elevation and is an integral part of the source, thus it is inevitable that ST depression on the body surface will be generated during ischaemia of a large region of myocardium. The effect of the myocardial anisotropy on ST potentials was also studied. The inclusion of myocardial anisotropy produces results somewhat closer to measured results in animal models. In conclusion, the bidomain model is successful in modelling the ST potential and the simulation in this study successfully explains the observations of ST segment shift during myocardial ischaemia. It provides useful guidance for the clinical interpretation of ST segment shift.
title: Effects of Radiation Heating on Additively Printed Hybrid Fuel Grain Oxidizer-to-fuel Ratio Shift
Creators: name: Merkley, Stephen L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examined the hypothesis that radiative heat transfer in small-scale printed-fuel hybrid rocket motors is responsible for the observed decreasing oxidizer-to-fuel (O/F) ratio shift. The magnitude of the radiation term was negligible for the motor sizes and types of propellants that have been previously tested, but was reintroduced in this study. To prove this hypothesis, a detailed enthalpy balance model was developed and tested using experimental fuel regression rate data obtained from a variety of motor scales using additively-manufactured acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) fuel grains.

description: OBJECTIVE: Colonic diverticulosis is a prevalent condition among older adults, marked by the presence of thin-walled pockets in the colon wall that can become inflamed, infected, haemorrhage or rupture. We present a case-control genetic and transcriptomic study aimed at identifying the genetic and cellular determinants underlying this condition and the relationship with other gastrointestinal disorders.
DESIGN: We conducted DNA and RNA sequencing on colonic tissue from 404 patients with (N=172) and without (N=232) diverticulosis. We investigated variation in the transcriptome associated with diverticulosis and further integrated this variation with single-cell RNA-seq data from the human intestine. We also integrated our expression quantitative trait loci with genome-wide association study using Mendelian randomisation (MR). Furthermore, a Polygenic Risk Score analysis gauged associations between diverticulosis severity and other gastrointestinal disorders.
RESULTS: We discerned 38 genes with differential expression and 17 with varied transcript usage linked to diverticulosis, indicating tissue remodelling as a primary diverticula formation mechanism. Diverticula formation was primarily linked to stromal and epithelial cells in the colon including endothelial cells, myofibroblasts, fibroblasts, goblet, tuft, enterocytes, neurons and glia. MR highlighted five genes including CCN3, CRISPLD2, ENTPD7, PHGR1 and TNFSF13, with potential causal effects on diverticulosis. Notably, ENTPD7 upregulation was confirmed in diverticulosis cases. Additionally, diverticulosis severity was positively correlated with genetic predisposition to diverticulitis.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that tissue remodelling is a primary mechanism for diverticula formation. Individuals with an increased genetic proclivity to diverticulitis exhibit a larger numbers of diverticula on colonoscopy.

description: We prove that a scalar quantum field theory defined on noncommutative Minkowski spacetime with noncommuting momentum coordinates is covariant with respect to the UV/IR duality which exchanges coordinates and momenta. The proof is based on suitable resonance expansions of charged noncommutative scalar fields in a background electric field, which yields an effective description of the field theory in terms of a coupled complex two-matrix model. The two independent matrix degrees of freedom ensure unitarity and manifest CT-invariance of the field theory. The formalism describes an analytic continuation of the renormalizable Grosse-Wulkenhaar models to Minkowski signature.

description: The subject of patriotism has divided black, as well as white abolitionists. Throughout their writings there are references to the American Revolution and the ideals of the Founding Fathers. Many emphasize the inconsistencies between belief in republican principles and the existence of slavery. This article shows how important these issues were for individuals and groups who were committed to putting an end to slavery.

title: Synergistic Timing Speculation for Multi-Threaded Programs
Creators: name: Yasin, Atif
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Timing speculation is a promising approach to increase the processor performance and energy efficiency. Under timing speculation, an integrated circuit is allowed to operate at a speed faster than its slowest path|the critical path. It is based on the empirical observation, which is presented later in the thesis, that these critical path delays are rarely manifested during the program execution. Consequently, as long as the processor is equipped with an error detection and recovery mechanism, its performance can be increased and/or energy consumption reduced beyond that achievable by any other conventional operation.
While many past works have dealt with timing speculation within a single core, in this work, a new direction is being uncovered | timing speculation for a multi-core processor executing a parallel, multi-threaded application. Through a rigorous cross-layered circuit architectural analysis, it is observed that during the execution of a multi-threaded program, there is a significant variation in circuit delay characteristics across different threads.
Synergistic Timing Speculation (SynTS) is proposed to exploit this variation (heterogeneity) in path sensitization delays, to jointly optimize the energy and execution time of the many-core processor. In particular, SynTS uses a sampling based online error probability estimation technique, coupled with a polynomial time algorithm, to optimally determine the voltage, frequency and the amount of timing speculation for each thread. The experimental analysis is presented for three pipe stages, namely, Decode, SimpleALU and ComplexALU, with a reduction in Energy Delay Product by up to 26%, 25% and 7.5% respectively, compared to existing per-core timing speculation scheme. The analysis also embeds a case study for a General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit.
