description: Glioblastomas are highly malignant brain tumors that derive from brain-tumor-initiating cells (BTICs) and can be subdivided into several molecular subtypes. Metformin is an antidiabetic drug currently under investigation as a potential antineoplastic agent. The effects of metformin on glucose metabolism have been extensively studied, but there are only few data on amino acid metabolism. We investigated the basic amino acid profiles of proneural and mesenchymal BTICs to explore a potential distinct utilization and biosynthesis in these subgroups. We further measured extracellular amino acid concentrations of different BTICs at baseline and after treatment with metformin. Effects of metformin on apoptosis and autophagy were determined using Western Blot, annexin V/7-AAD FACS-analyses and a vector containing the human LC3B gene fused to green fluorescent protein. The effects of metformin on BTICs were challenged in an orthotopic BTIC model. The investigated proneural BTICs showed increased activity of the serine and glycine pathway, whereas mesenchymal BTICs in our study preferably metabolized aspartate and glutamate. Metformin treatment led to increased autophagy and strong inhibition of carbon flux from glucose to amino acids in all subtypes. However, oral treatment with metformin at tolerable doses did not significantly inhibit tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, we found distinct amino acid profiles of proneural and mesenchymal BTICs, and inhibitory effects of metformin on BTICs in vitro. However, further studies are warranted to better understand potential resistance mechanisms against metformin in vivo.

description: We present a study of transport in multiple-band non-interacting Fermi metallic systems based on the Keldysh formalism, taking into account the effects of Berry curvature due to spin-orbit coupling. We apply this formalism to a Rashba 2DEG ferromagnet and calculate the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR). The numerical calculations reproduce analytical results in the metallic regime revealing the crossover between the skew scattering mechanism dominating in the clean systems and intrinsic mechanism dominating in the moderately dirty systems. As we increase the disorder further, the AHE starts to diminish due to the spectral broadening of the quasiparticles. Although for certain parameters this reduction of the AHE can be approximated as $σ_{xy}\thicksimσ_{xx}^φ$ with $φ$ varying around 1.6, this is found not to be true in general as $σ_{xy}$ can go through a change in sign as a function of disorder strength in some cases. The reduction region in which the quasiparticle approximation is meaningful is relatively narrow; therefore, a theory with a wider range of applicability is called for. By considering the higher order skew scattering processes, we resolve some discrepancies between the AHE results obtained by using the Keldysh, Kubo and Boltzmann approaches. We also show that similar higher order processes are important for the AMR when the nonvertex and vertex parts cancel each other. We calculate the AMR in anisotropic systems properly taking into account the anisotropy of the non-equilibrium distribution function. These calculations confirm recent findings on the unreliability of common approximations to the Boltzmann equation.

Year: 1973

description: The purpose of this paper is to analyze juvenile court data using Markov Chains. A computer program was generalized with a single array orientation for analyzing realizations of a Markov Chain to the kth order within machine limitations. The data used in this paper were gathered by the Juvenile Court of the State of Utah for administrative purposes and limited to District II. The results from the paper, "Statistical Inference About Markov Chains" by Anderson and Goodman, were applied for testing hypotheses. The paper is divided into five chapters: introduction, statistical background, methodology, analysis and summary, conclusions.

description: We calculate the ratio of shear viscosity to entropy density for charged black branes in third order Lovelock theory. For chargeless black branes, the result turns out to be consistent with the prediction made in $\rm arXiv:0808.3498[\rm hep-th] $. We find that, the third order Lovelock gravity term does not contribute to causality violation unlike the Gauss-Bonnet term. The stability of the black brane again requires the value of the Lovelock coupling constant to be bounded by 1/4 in the infinite dimensionality limit.

title: The Reported Political Beliefs and Levels of Political Participation of Utah Educators
Creators: name: Theisen, Richard
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The purpose of this thesis was to explore the political beliefs and extent of political participation of secondary and elementary teachers in the state of Utah. The relationship of sense of political efficacy and political participation for teachers as citizens and teachers as members of the teaching profession was investigated. The correlation of teacher as citizen political participation with teacher as professional political participation was also examined. Indexes measuring the teacher's sense of political efficacy, political participation, and extent to which they felt political behavior was professionally ethical were used. The data was gathered through personal interviews with a systematic random sample of Utah teachers. The hypothesized inconsistency between the political behavior of teachers as citizens and teachers as professionals was found to exist for those teachers who have the most limited definition of professionally ethical political behavior. The data also indicted that the professional political behavior of female teachers who have a conservative definition of professionally ethical political behavior cannot be predicted by examining their political activity as a citizen. Another conclusion was that sense of political efficacy is not a good predictor of the extent of political participation for teachers in Utah.

description: The use of storage rings as dedicated sources of synchrotron radiation together with the new developments of insertion devices have allowed, in recent years, the application of synchrotron radiation to the conventional methods of X-ray fluorescence (XRF). In addition, the so-called XRF induced by synchrotron radiation has given rise to the development of new spectrochemical techniques[1]. An experimental station for X-ray fluorescence studies has been installed at the PWA laboratory of the LNF. This station is mainly oriented to microanalysis, but it is possible to perform other techniques. The apparatus existing at the beginning of 1991 consisted of an experimental chamber allowing conventional KRF (SRXRF) and total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TRXRF), but the latter was never implemented. The conventional system consists of a sample holder (3x6 cm) that can be positioned along the X,Y axis with a precision of μ m. The geometry of measurement is 90 degrees with 45 degrees of incident and take-off directions. At the entrance of the chamber two slits allow an orthogonal collimation. The detecting system consists of a solid-state detector with a Si(Li) crystal (Silena), a high voltage source (ORTEC 478), an amplifier (ortec 572), and a multichannel analyzer (ORTEC 916).

description: CoRoT, the pioneer space-based transit search, steadily provides thousands of high-precision light curves with continuous time sampling over periods of up to 5 months. The transits of a planet perturbed by an additional object are not strictly periodic. By studying the transit timing variations (TTVs), additional objects can be detected in the system. A transit timing analysis of CoRoT-1b is carried out to constrain the existence of additional planets in the system. We used data obtained by an improved version of the CoRoT data pipeline (version 2.0). Individual transits were fitted to determine the mid-transit times, and we analyzed the derived $O-C$ diagram. N-body integrations were used to place limits on secondary planets. No periodic timing variations with a period shorter than the observational window (55 days) are found. The presence of an Earth-mass Trojan is not likely. A planet of mass greater than $\sim 1$ Earth mass can be ruled out by the present data if the object is in a 2:1 (exterior) mean motion resonance with CoRoT-1b. Considering initially circular orbits: (i) super-Earths (less than 10 Earth-masses) are excluded for periods less than about 3.5 days, (ii) Saturn-like planets can be ruled out for periods less than about 5 days, (iii) Jupiter-like planets should have a minimum orbital period of about 6.5 days.

description: The e+e- DAPHNE collider is designed to reach a luminosity of the order of 10^32-10^33[sec^-1 cm^-2] at 510 MeV, by storing high current. Such a current, of the order of few amperes for beam, can in principle be achieved by filling many RF buckets in the machine. One of the main problems arising in the beam dynamics concerns the Multibunch Instabilities caused by the strong coupling between the beam and the parasitic HOM resonances of the RF cavity. Due to the high current, the instability is very fast, so that it is impossible to stabilize the beam with a feedback system alone. An effort has to made to reduce the shunt impedance of the cavity HOMs, so that a feedback system can be effective. This task is accomplished by properly designing the RF cavity and by coupling off the HOMs through loops or waveguides in order to extract energy from the resonant fields, thus reducing at the same time the quality factor Q and the shunt impedance R. The residual excitation of beam oscillations is damped by means of a bunch-by-bunch digital feedback system.
Unified: The Moment Explained

description: RigbySpace (RS) is a complete, self-contained arithmetic physics framework. It requires no irrational constants, no calculus, and no continuum assumptions. It produces predictions, derivations, and solutions using only rational fields, step-resolved time imbalance, and whole-number arithmetic. This paper introduces the RS Field Equations and demonstrates their explanatory power across general relativity, quantum field theory, thermal radiation, gravitational geometry, fusion mechanics, and mass generation.The RS model eliminates 𝜋, removes the need for renormalization, redefines the Planck boundary, and produces predictive structure from the golden ratio redefined as 7/4. All physical observables emerge from recurrence fields defined via time-mass imbalance. Ex-perimental and computational simulations are provided, and comparisons are drawn with conventional field predictions.This work is the moment resolved—the architecture behind phenomena. Not a simplification of physics, but its exposure.

description: We have calculated the radiative corrections to the decay τ->π(K)v_τ, taking to account internal bremsstrahlung and structure dependent radiation in the radiative decay and set point meson, hadronic structure dependent and short distance contributions in the virtual corrections. We display the spectra of the photon energy and of the pion-photon invariant mass in the decay τ->π v_τ γ and compare with the PHOTOS Monte-Carlo. Our result for the radiative correction to the ratio Γ(τ->π v_τ(γ))/ Γ(π->μ v_μ(γ)) is δR_τ/π = (0.16 +- 0.14)% and for the ratio Γ(τ->Kv_τ(γ))/ Γ(K->μ v_μ(γ)), we obtain δR_τ/k = (0.90 +- 0.22)%.
title: Ice Nuclei Inventory: Wasatch Weather Modification Experimental Area
Creators: name: Slusser, William F.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: Several large sources of 1ce nuclei were identified for the Wasatch Weather Modification Experimental Area. When stable air masses remained over the area for several days, ice nuclei concentrations as large as 1750 per liter (measured at -20 C) were found at the surface. ConcentralX tions as large as 6000 per liter were measured with an airborne 1ce nuclei counter over the smelter industry of the Salt Lake Valley. Ice nuclei concentrations during storm periods were usually less than 3 per liter, indicating an excellent potential for increasing precipitation amounts over the Wasatch Mountains through the release of artificial ice nuclei. Ice nuclei measurements taken during and following seeding activities indicate that nuclei are not being trapped in the Cache Valley and are not being funnelled into areas upwind of the seeding generators. The measurements also indicated that nuclei are getting into the seeding area, at least at the ground level. Residual lee nuclei were found in the experimental area--an average oF 7.5 hours for ground seeders and 4.6 hours For airborne seeders--following seeding activities. Stability, wind direction, and cloud top temperatures were found to be the meteorological conditions most closely related to ice nuclei concentrations although this could not be shown through the use of statistical tests.

description: A system of two coupled CdTe quantum dots, one of them containing a single Mn ion, was studied in continuous wave and modulated photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and photon correlation experiments. Optical writing of information in the spin state of the Mn ion has been demonstrated, using orientation of the Mn spin by spin-polarized carriers transferred from the neighbor quantum dot. Mn spin orientation time values from 20 ns to 100 ns were measured, depending on the excitation power. Storage time of the information in the Mn spin was found to be enhanced by application of a static magnetic field of 1 T, reaching hundreds of microseconds in the dark. Simple rate equation models were found to describe correctly static and dynamical properties of the system.

Creators: name: Fuller, Craig Woods
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: A primary basis for settlement locations in the great basin by the Mormons was the availability of water. The settlement of Heber Valley was no exception.
Water became quickly involved in two important and determining factors (cooperation and self-reliance) in the development of Mormon society in general and Wasatch County's society in particular. Likewise, these two factors influenced the direction in the development of water as it was utilized by the Mormons to establish the "Kingdom of God" on earth. Cooperation and self-reliance in Wasatch County were changed as modifications within the county were made as well as by other factors introduced in the county.
Wasatch County farmers irrigation systems and institutions are today, a product of these two important factors and the modifications made on them. Co-operation and self reliance continue to be part of the agricultural way of life in Wasatch County.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The common form of inter-institute particle physics experiment collaborations generates unique needs for member management including paper authorship, shift assignments, subscription to mailing lists and access to 3rd party applications such as Github and Slack. For smaller collaborations, typically no facility for centralized member management is available and these needs are usually manually handled by long-term members in smaller collaborations but the management becomes tedious as collaborations grow. To automate many of these tasks for the expanding XENON collaboration, we developed the XENONnT User Management Website, a web application that stores and updates data related to the collaboration members through the use of NodeJs and MongoDB. The application allows for the scheduling of shifts for members to coordinate between institutes. User manipulation of 3rd party applications are implemented using REST API integration. The XENONnT User Management Website is open source and is a show case of quick implementation of utility application using the web framework.
title: Net Migration as a Factor Affecting Metropolitan Growth in Utah: 1950 to 1970
Creators: name: Mahmoudi, Kooros M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The objectives of this study were to measure net in- or out-migration to or from the Standard Metropolitan Areas of Utah between 1950-60 and 1960-70 and to study selected socio-economic factors relating to migration and the growth of SMSA 's. Specifically, the factors of migration and natural population increase were central in an analysis of population redistribution. Selected demographic characteristics of the migrants such as sex and age were also studied to establish their impact upon the SMSA population structure. The relationship between population change in the SMSA 's and economic factors of labor force supply and employment were also reviewed. Net intercensal migration for the SMSA 's of Ogden, Provo-Orem, and Salt Lake City were derived through indirect methods of estimating net migration: L. The Census Survival Ratio Method and the Life Table Survival Ratio Method. An analysis of the findings indicated that most migrants were in the younger age groups of 20-34 years and females outnumbered the males in the migrating population. These trends held for all three SMSA 's throughout the 1950-60 and 1960- 70 period. It also appears that net migration has played an important part in the process of metropolitanization in the state. About 25. 14 percent of the Salt Lake SMSA growth between 1950-60, and 17.15 percent between 1960-70 was due to net migration. However, Provo-Orem SMSA 's growth through net migration was -. 08 for 1950-60, but it was 34.07 percent for the 1960-70 period. Ogden SMSA 's growth due to net migration was estimated at 10. 56 percent for the 1950-60 period and -19.73 percent for the 1960-70 decade. By correlating the amount of net in- or out-migration in the labor force population and the amount of Wlemployment, it was found that the net-migration figures were sensitive to the amount of tmemployment in the labor force in each SMSAo There seemed to be an inverse relationship between the number of Wlemployed and the amount of in-migrationo The results, indicating the amount of intercensal net migration for SMSA 's in Utah between 1950 and 1970, for the first time, demonstrated the components of population change for these metropolitan areas. Knowledge of population change due to net migration will be useful in population projections for these areas, thus, facilitating socio-economic planning for years to come.
Handling Detector Characterization Data (Metadata) in XENONnT

Subjects: Metadata, software, open source, python, XENONnT

description: Poster showing how metadata is handled in XENONnT. We introduce 2 pieces of publicly available software written in python, rframe and xedocs. Rframe serves as a general framework for database management that can convert between different backends and in-memory datatypes (using a variety of API's). RFrame also establishes the basis of schemas that will be used in Xedocs. Xedocs is a custom-built metadata manager for the XENONnT experiment. it was built based on rFrame to handle all the cases for the conditions (or corrections) metadata in Xedocs. In Xedocs we produce the schemas needed for our analysis and these schemas have restrictions on how you can upload data, from requiring indexing, and datatypes for the metadata and preventing overwriting of existing data. While we focus on the conditions data in this work, Xedocs can help manage more types of metadata than this.
title: A Computerized Performance Record Keeping System for Beef Cattle in Utah
Creators: name: Pierce, John J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: A computer program was developed at Utah State University (USU) to aid in obtaining a more complete individual performance record keeping system for beef cattle in Utah. Some computer programs for beef cattle records presently exist but a program was needed that was readily available to the USU animal science extension and resident staff. The program was written in FORTRAN for use on the Burrogh 6700 computer located at the Utah State University Computer Center. It was designed to read input data for individual animals, perform various calculations (i. e. days of age, adjusted weaning weight and weaning weight ratio), print out the input data and results of the calculations for each animal as well as the average adjusted weight for each sex group (heifer, bull, steer). The computer program will manipulate weights in either the English or metric system and will convert weights from the English to metric system if desired. A unique feature of the program is the ranking of animals from highest to lowest based on the weaning weight ratio with accompanying animal number. The records can be evaluated to identify potential animals to use as replacements and those to be culled.
The input data are collected on the ranch by a cooperative arrangement between the ranch operator and the USU Extension Staff. The ranch operator collects the preliminary data such as: birth date, tag number, tattoo number, dam, age of dam, and sire, and records it on the beef cattle performance input record. The extension specialist weights, gives a conformation score and records the information for each calf on the input record. The beef cattle performance input record is arranged in the same order as the data card is key punched thus facilitating the punching of the data cards.
The staff can change from using the desk calculator to the use of the computer to improve efficiency and flexibility output as well as having more time available to spend with the public teaching that maintaining accurate records can help improve their herds for production and for inventory control. This can help the beef cattle industry to improve quality and type of beef animal produced in Utah and should improve the potential efficiency and profit. The rancher can transfer his records, with minor modifications, to one of the existing national computer programming organizations if desired.
This computer program with or without modification has application for current research and university teaching. The computer program was designated for use with beef cattle, but could be modified to use for any class of livestock.
This program is not an end in itself but is a foundation from which to build an improved record keeping system in Utah which could improve the production and quality of the beef cattle industry.
title: Analysis of Hunter Characteristics and Attitudes Relating to Utah Shooting Preserves
Creators: name: Ratti, John T.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: This paper evaluates the present status of Utah shooting preserves with special reference to attitudes and characteristics of hunters using and not using the shooting preserves system. Data were gathered primarily by a mail questionnaire survey.
Compared to non-users, shooting preserve users were more frequently raised in a suburban or city area, better educated, and had higher yearly incomes. Shooting preserve users were commonly employed as professionals or proprietors, while non-users were often employed as craftsmen, proprietors, or operators.
Most shooting preserve hunters hunted after the state game bird season was closed, and were generally satisfied with Utah preserves. Most hunters not using shooting preserves were very critical of the system, and claimed they would never hunt on a preserve. However, most non-users knew little about shooting preserves and were interested in having information about preserves in Utah.
It was concluded that Utah shooting preserves should advertise their service, supply desired facilities, avoid crowding, keep grounds neat and clean, and stock only strong, healthy pheasants.
title: Cost of Wholesale Milk Distribution in Utah Urban Markets, 1972
Creators: name: Palmer, Frederick William
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: Significant changes have taken place in the distribution of dairy products during recent years. These changes have been marked by the increased importance of milk distribution through grocery stores, specialized dairy stores, institutions such as schools and military establishments, and the corresponding decline of home delivery. Many small food stores have been replaced by large, self-service supermarkets, most of which are operated by chain store merchandisers wielding increased market power. Specialized milk delivery systems have been developed to meet the needs and demands of supermarkets, such as limited service or dock delivery. Because of differences in costs of servicing various customers, volume delivered, and competitive pressures, wholesale price discounts have been introduced and extensively used. Dairies have consolidated or merged operations to capture economies of scale in processing and distributing and to increase market power. More mergers will likely follow. The areas served by processing plants have expanded as a result of the development of super highways, mechanically refrigerated trucks, and increased use of single service containers.

description: In the search for new physical properties of S/F structures, we have found that the superconductor critical current can be controlled by the domain state of the neighboring ferromagnet. The superconductor is a thin wire of thickness d_{s} ~ 2 xi_{S}. Nb/Co and Nb/Py (Permalloy Ni_{80}Fe_{20}) bilayer structures were grown with a significant magnetic anisotropy. Critical current measurements of Nb/Co structures with ferromagnet thickness d_{F} > 30nm show sudden drops in two very defined steps when the measurements are made along the hard axes direction (i.e. current track parallel to hard anisotropy axes direction). These drops disappear when they are made along the easy axis direction or when the ferromagnet thickness is below 30nm. The drops are accompanied by vortex flux flow. In addition magnetorestistance measurements close to Tc show a sharp increase near saturation fields of the ferromagnet. Similar results are reproduced in Nb/Py bilayer structure with the ferromagnet thickness d_{F} ~ 50nm along the easy anisotropy axes. These results are explained as being due to spontaneous vortex formation and flow induced by Bloch domain walls of the ferromagnet underneath. We argue these Bloch domain walls produce a 2D vortex-antivortex lattice structure.

description: This article explores the impact of government and banking programs on the development of Very Small Enterprises (VSEs) in Morocco, focusing on access to finance. The VSE sector represents a significant part of the Moroccan economy but needs help obtaining financing despite its crucial role in job creation and economic development. The research analyzes the effectiveness of government initiatives such as the Damane Express and Intelaka programs and banking partnerships using a methodology based on a questionnaire addressed to VSEs. The results show that, although some programs are widely adopted, access to credit remains limited due to the complexity of administrative procedures, high collateral requirements, and lack of knowledge of available financial products. In addition, VSEs express mixed satisfaction with the effectiveness of government programs and banking partnerships, pointing to the need to improve these initiatives to better meet their specific needs. The study recommends simplifying administrative processes, enhancing transparency, and developing financial products tailored to VSEs to improve their access to finance and foster growth.

description: As the Federal Government's chief commercial vehicle safety agency, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA), Office of Research and Technology (R&T) focuses on saving lives and reducing injuries by helping to prevent crashes involving large trucks and motorcoaches. The FMCSA will achieve this result by developing its expertise in regulation and enforcement, education and outreach, data collection and analysis, and research and technology transfer (i.e., encouraging other government agencies and the private sector to use innovative R&T products to promote safe transportation). This Info Brief describes the organization and focus of the R&T Program and how its efforts support the Agency's mission and safety goal. The FMCSA's Research and Technology Program is a key element in achieving the Agency's safety goal and meeting the related strategic objectives. Recognizing that highway crashes often stem from several interrelated factors and not just a single cause, the Agency's R&T Program provides critical data and research to identify and address those causal factors. The Program supports the Agency's diverse safety initiatives and emphasizes delivering safety in new ways, particularly through the development, evaluation, and deployment of advanced safety technologies.

description: Spectropolarimetry of the Type Ib SN 2008D, associated with the XRF 080109, at two separate epochs, are presented. The epochs of these observations correspond to V-band light curve maximum and 15 days after light curve maximum (or 21 and 36 days after the XRF). We find SN 2008D to be significantly polarized, although the largest contribution is due to the interstellar polarization component of Q_ISP=0+/-0.1% and U_ISP=-1.2+/-0.1%. At the two epochs, the spectropolarimetry of SN 2008D is classified as being D1+L(HeI)+L(Ca II). The intrinsic polarization of continuum wavelength regions is <0.4%, at both epochs, implying an asymmetry of the photosphere of <10%. Similar to other Type Ibc SNe, such as 2005bf, 2006aj and 2007gr, we observed significant polarization corresponding to the spectral features of Ca II, He I, Mg I, Fe II and, possibly, O I 7774, about a close-to-spherically-symmetric photosphere. We introduce a new plot showing the chemically distinct line forming regions in the ejecta and comment on the apparent ubiquity of highly polarized high-velocity Ca II features in Type Ibc SNe. The polarization angle of Ca II IR triplet was significantly different, at both epochs, to those of the other species, suggesting high-velocity Ca II forms in a separate part of the ejecta. The apparent structure in the outer layers of SN 2008D has implications for the interpretation of the early-time X-ray emission associated with shock break-out. (abridged)

description: The use of Solanum aethiopicum as the female parent with S. melongena led to the development of a cytoplasmic-genic male sterility system (CGMS) in eggplant. The male sterility was complete and expressed as rudimentary anthers with no pollen grains. Ten backcross progenies of male sterile lines in diverse genetic backgrounds of S. melongena were characterised after BC7 generation for 14 horticultural traits. It was observed that male sterile lines and their respective maintainer parents were isogenic for all the traits, except stamen size and days to 50% flowering. The fertility of male sterile lines was restored after hybridising with plants derived from an S. melongena × S. aethiopicum cross. The fertility restoration was governed by a single dominant gene. The maternal cytoplasm of S. aethiopicum in male sterile lines and of S. melongena in maintainers and restorers was confirmed with mitochondria and chloroplast DNA-specific molecular markers. Further, to assess the heterotic potential, 10 cytoplasmic male sterility lines were crossed with three restorers to develop 30 F1 hybrids, out of which D−67A × R−6 and D−104A × R−6 were found consistently better than the standard check for yield plant−1 over two years. In this manuscript a comprehensive study on development and utilisation of an alloplasmic CGMS system in eggplant has been discussed.
title: A Comparison of Three Teaching Procedures Used in The Development of Improving Intonation in Clarinet Performance
Creators: name: Ericksen, K. Earl
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: This study assessed the relative efficiency of three teaching procedures used in the development of improving intonation in clarinet performance. The three treatment procedures used included the Beat Method, the C. G. Conn Stroboscope and Johnson Intonation Trainer. During the six weeks study, all ~s participated in two forty-five minute lessons per week. Intonation procedures were studied for fifteen minutes each lesson while other playing problems were discussed for the remaining time. Instruction time totaled nine hours per group. All Ss continued class work with their school music teacher. The experimental design also included a No Contact Control Group which received no special instruction during the six weeks. Standardized tests using specific items and methods needed for this study were not available. This necessitated the construction of tests by the writer (Appendix A, Band C). A Test Reliability GroupE (N = 15), took the test twice with ten days between testing periods. Other schools were randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, (a) No Cor;tact Control Group A (N = 12), (b) Beat Method Group B (N = 15), (c) C. G. Conn Stroboscope Group C (N = 12 ) , and (d) Johnson Intonation Trainer Group D (N = 15). All groups participated in a pretest and posttest. The Johnson Intonation Trainer was used to produce a constant pitch while the C. G. Conn Stroboscope measured the degree of out-of-tuneness during testing procedures. Instructions for the test were read to minimize variation. The test orientation consisted of three parts (a) Identification of Beats (A p p e n d i X A) ' ( b ) p i t c h Memo r y u~ p p e n d i X B ) ' ( c) Tu n i n g t 0 s e 1 e c t e d Pitches while playing the clarinet (Appendix G). The analysis of variance was used to compute the data. Ss were unable to tune to specified pitches without practicing systematic procedures on how to accomplish this task. Subjects were unable to change pitches more than .05 of a semitone in the pretest. Tuning to Specified Pitches. After treatment, the ability to change pitches up to .25 of a semi tone was accomplished. Clarinet players, considered technically less proficient by their teachers, also accomplished matching pitches on the pretest as accurately as advanced players. This study strongly confirms the thesis that students can learn to play 1n tune through using 11systematic procedures11 with the cooperative. efforts of teachers . It is also concluded that the procedures used in the 11Beat Method11 are significantly better than other procedures tested.

description: We present an experimental and theoretical study of the fragmentation of polymeric materials by impacting polypropylene particles of spherical shape against a hard wall. Experiments reveal a power law mass distribution of fragments with an exponent close to 1.2, which is significantly different from the known exponents of three-dimensional bulk materials. A 3D discrete element model is introduced which reproduces both the large permanent deformation of the polymer during impact, and the novel value of the mass distribution exponent. We demonstrate that the dominance of shear in the crack formation and the plastic response of the material are the key features which give rise to the emergence of the novel universality class of fragmentation phenomena.

description: Ab-initio calculations within Density Functional Theory combined with experimental Raman spectra on cluster-beam deposited pure carbon films provide a consistent picture of sp-carbon chains stabilized by sp^3 or sp^2 terminations, the latter being sensitive to torsional strain. This unexplored effect promises many exciting applications since it allows one to modify the conductive states near the Fermi level and to switch on and off the on-chain pi-electron magnetism.
