Towards the synthesis of transition metal derivatives of carbohydrates
Creators: name: Slee, Arlene Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The synthesis of organometallic derivatives of carbohydrates was approached in two different ways. The first method was nucleophilic attack by vitamin B₁₂s, cyclopentadienyl iron dicarbonyl and cyclopentadienyl tungsten and molybdenum tricarbonyl anions on the carbohydrate sulphonate in an attempt to synthesise direct metal linkage to the carbohydrate via a carbon metal bond. The reaction was found to be most successful when applied to primary carbohydrate sulphonates. Little success was encountered with secondary tosylates arid epoxides. The main problem enountered here was the difficulty in isolating the organometallic derivatives. Another series of compounds were synthesised in an attempt to extend this study of metal derivatives of carbohydrates, to metal-carbohydrate derivatives bonded through a heteroatom. Model systems were studied of six-membered thio complexes of tungsten, manganese and platinum. From the tungsten and manganese complexes it was found that the tungsten complex was 'locked' only by a t-butyl system, whereas the manganese complexes appeared to be 'locked' even without the t-butyl group. The six-membered rings in each case appeared to be puckered chairs. The configuration about the sulphur was not determined, although it appears to be either the diequatorial configuration, or a fast equilibrium between the axial-equatorial⇄diequatorial⇄equatorial-axial configurations. Studies on the platinum thio complexes indicate that for a six-membered ring, the average coupling constant of Pt-S-C-H was 58 Hz, while the trans coupling of platinum through sulphur was found to be at least 73 Hz, with J[formula omitted] + J[formula omitted] = 120 Hz.

description: We investigate the stability of a three spin state mixture of ultracold fermionic $^6$Li atoms over a range of magnetic fields encompassing three Feshbach resonances. For most field values, we attribute decay of the atomic population to three-body processes involving one atom from each spin state and find that the three-body loss coefficient varies by over four orders of magnitude. We observe high stability when at least two of the three scattering lengths are small, rapid loss near the Feshbach resonances, and two unexpected resonant loss features. At our highest fields, where all pairwise scattering lengths are approaching $a_t = -2140 a_0$, we measure a three-body loss coefficient $L_3 \simeq 5\times 10^{-22} \mathrm{cm}^6/\mathrm{s}$ and a trend toward lower decay rates for higher fields indicating that future studies of color superfluidity and trion formation in a SU(3) symmetric Fermi gas may be feasible.

description: The radial part of Klein-Gordon equation is solved for the Woods-Saxon potential within the framework of an approximation to the centrifugal barrier. The bound states and the corresponding normalized eigenfunctions of the Woods-Saxon potential are computed by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The results are consistent with the ones obtained in the case of generalized Woods-Saxon potential. The solutions of the Schrödinger equation by using the same approximation are also studied as a special case, and obtained the consistent results with the ones obtained before.

title: Spatiotemporal Evolution of Pleistocene and Late Oligocene-Early Miocene Deformation in the Mecca Hills, Southernmost San Andreas Fault Zone
Creators: name: Moser, Amy C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Seismogenically active faults (those that produce earthquakes) are very complex systems that constantly change through time. When an earthquake occurs, the rocks surrounding a fault (the “fault rocks”) become altered or damaged. Studying these fault rocks directly can inform what processes operated in the fault and how the fault evolved in space and time. Examining these key aspects of faults helps us understand the earthquake hazards of active fault systems.
The Mecca Hills, southern California, consist of a set of hills adjacent to the southernmost San Andreas Fault. The topography is related to motion on the San Andreas fault, which poses the largest seismic hazard in the lower forty-eight United States. The southernmost San Andreas fault, and the Mecca Hills study location may be reaching the end of its earthquake cycle and is due for a major, potentially catastrophic earthquake. The seismic hazards of the region, coupled with its proximity to major populated areas (Coachella Valley, Los Angeles Basin) make it a critical research area to understand fault zone evolution and the protracted history of fault development.
The goal of this thesis was to directly examine the fault rocks in the Mecca Hills to understand how San Andreas-related faults in this area have evolved and behaved through time. This study integrates a variety of field and laboratory techniques to characterize the structural, geochemical, and thermal properties of the Mecca Hills fault rocks. The results herein document two distinct phases of deformation in the rocks exposed in the Mecca Hills, one around 24 million years ago and the other in the last one million years. This more recent phase of deformation is characterized by fault block exhumation and fluid flow in the fault zones, likely related to changing dynamics of the southernmost San Andreas Fault system. The older event informs how and when these rocks came close to Earth’s surface before the San Andreas Fault initiated.
title: The Effects of Diary Writing Support Groups On Women's Depression, Self-Acceptance and Well-Being
Creators: name: Barnes, Linda Elaine
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: This study was conducted to determine whether learning specific writing techniques and discussing them in a small group is more beneficial to women than writing a journal using self-taught techniques, or not writing at all.
Instruments used included the Beck Depression Inventory and the California Personality Inventory (Self-Acceptance and Well-Being scales).
The literature review covers four general areas: a brief discussion of the impact of contemporary feminism on traditional therapy; an examination of feminist therapy, specifically its advocacy of consciousness-raising groups as a therapy alternative; women's self-reports on diary or journal writing; and information on modern non-literary journal uses including an investigation into the status of therapeutic uses of journal writing.
A group model was developed and examined for this study using a modified consciousness-raising format to teach journal writing techniques and provide for group discussion of the writing practices.
Pre- and posttest scores were compared among three groups of women (N = 52). An additional follow-up sub-sample was contacted (n = 25) to test statistical differences in writing frequency, number of writing techniques used and level of subjective satisfaction with personal writing.
No empirical evidence was found to justify the supposition that structured journal writing groups are more beneficial than either self-taught, solitary diary writing or not writing at all.
Includes bibliography for journal writers, outline for 8-week structured writing group, references, and recommendations for possible further investigation.

This Future Note analyses how Morocco is driving growth in renewable energy in the Middle East and North Africa region. After giving an overview of the electricity sector’s role in de-carbonizing Morocco’s energy system, the paper sheds light on the enabling environment, in terms of the regulatory, policy and institutional framework as well as financing while also underlining the challenges to a wider scale deployment of renewables in the country. The paper also treats the issue of regional integration and embeddedness and how energy infrastructure well embeds Morocco both at the regional and the international levels.
title: Reducing Stress of Inservice Teachers
Creators: name: Curley, Jeffrey R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: A prototype treatment developed to significantly reduce symptoms of stress among inservice teachers was tested in this experiment. Thirty participants selected for high stress levels were randomly assigned to treatment and control groups. They were assessed on environmental, personality, and emotional variables, using self-report and expert-judge measures, both pre- and posttreatment. The experimental treatment was holistic, incorporating all processes previously found to be related to reducing teacher stress. At posttreatment, the treatment group averaged 1.02 standard deviations lower on the stress measures than the control group. Significant differences in the posttest means, favoring the experimental group, were found for 23 of the 39 variables measured on the three self-report instruments. As a group the participants demonstrated substantially lower stress levels than the control group after the treatment, with a substantial decrease from their pretreatment stress levels. Since the control group received no treatment, some of the difference nay be due to Hawthorne Effect.
Improving quality of seasoned Tasmanian eucalypt timbers
Creators: name: Redman, Adam Lloyd
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The initial purpose of this thesis was to optimise kiln predrying times, without increasing the levels of drying degrade, for 25mm thick regrowth Eucalyptus obliqua using KilnSched scheduling program. The first trial conducted involved the daily measurement of moisture gradients to accurately determine the accuracy of KilnSched from measured behaviour. This trial was conducted over three weeks under mild conditions (20¬¨‚àûC DBT, 19¬¨‚àûC WBT). After this period of drying 100% of the backsawn boards dried showed signs of collapse and 90% of the quartersawn boards were collapsed. Surface checking severity was also unsatisfactory. It was evident that the timber was dried above the collapse threshold temperature. A subsequent trial was conducted to determine the collapse threshold temperature of the timber. The results of the trial showed that half of the boards tested collapsed at a collapse threshold temperature of 10¬¨‚àûC. As a result of this discovery, the research aim was changed to reducing the severity of collapse, surface checking and internal checking degrade of regrowth E. obliqua, by pretreating the timber whilst in its green state prior to drying. Three pretreatment regimes were trialed. The regimes included two chemical pretreatments involving common table salt (sodium chloride) and a physical regime involving presoaking green logs in heated water. Sodium chloride was chosen due to its low cost and availability. The salt regimes consisted of both soaking green boards in a saturated salt solution, and packing green boards with a layer of salt between each row and wrapping in moist hessian. The salt regimes were conducted over nine weeks. The presoaked regime logs were soaked at 45¬¨‚àûC over three days. Control boards were used to compare the pretreatments with untreated timber cut from the same stock. Following the pretreatment regimes, the control and pretreated boards were randomly racked and kiln predried following a typical drying schedule used by the Tasmanian timber industry for this species of timber. Upon completion of predrying, the boards were reconditioned and then final dried (following typical industry schedules) before they were investigated for levels of degrade.

Tangled Magnetic Fields in Solar Prominences

description: Solar prominences are an important tool for studying the structure and evolution of the coronal magnetic field. Here we consider so-called "hedgerow" prominences, which consist of thin vertical threads. We explore the possibility that such prominences are supported by tangled magnetic fields. A variety of different approaches are used. First, the dynamics of plasma within a tangled field is considered. We find that the contorted shape of the flux tubes significantly reduces the flow velocity compared to the supersonic free fall that would occur in a straight vertical tube. Second, linear force-free models of tangled fields are developed, and the elastic response of such fields to gravitational forces is considered. We demonstrate that the prominence plasma can be supported by the magnetic pressure of a tangled field that pervades not only the observed dense threads but also their local surroundings. Tangled fields with field strengths of about 10 G are able to support prominence threads with observed hydrogen density of the order of 10^(11) cm^(-3). Finally, we suggest that the observed vertical threads are the result of Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Simulations of the density distribution within a prominence thread indicate that the peak density is much larger than the average density. We conclude that tangled fields provide a viable mechanism for magnetic support of hedgerow prominences.

description: The Kolmogorov stochasticity parameter (KSP) is applied to quantify the degree of randomness (stochasticity) in the temperature maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation maps. It is shown that, the KSP for the WMAP5 maps is about twice higher than that of the simulated maps for the concordance \LambdaCDM cosmological model, implying the existence of a randomizing effect not taken into account in the model. As was revealed recently, underdense regions in the large scale matter distributions, i.e the voids, possess hyperbolic and hence randomizing properties. The degree of randomness for the Cold Spot appears to be about twice higher than the average over the mean temperature level spots in the sky, which supports the void nature of the Cold Spot. Kolmogorov's parameter then acts as a quantitative tracer of the voids via CMB.

title: A Preschool-Age Neurodevelopmental Comparison Between Normal-Birthweight Infants and Low-BirthWeight Infants With and Without Intraventricular Hemorrhage
Creators: name: Corey, William Frederick
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: Advances in medical technology have provided the mechanisms for sustaining life in premature and low-birthweight infants, resulting in the survival of more of these infants. Low-birthweight (LBW) and preterm infants are placed at risk by a number of medical complications, including intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).
The outcome of low-birthweight infants with intraventricular hemorrhage has been the subject of a great deal of research and continues to be a much-discussed topic in the medical and psychological communities. As more data become available, it appears that more questions arise concerning the later neuodevelopmental and neuropsychological outcome of these infants.
For this reason, research concerning the later status of infants born with intraventricular hemorrhage is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine if there are differences in cognitive and motor functioning among infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), infants who were low birthweight (LBW), and normal-birthweight (NBW) infants.
Forty-four subjects (10 with mild IVH, 9 with severe IVH, 12 LBW, and 13 NBW), who were born between January 1, 1984, and June 1, 1985, and were either patients in the neonatal intensive care unit at University of Utah Medical Center (the IVH and LBW infants) or were residents of the well-baby nursery (the NBW infants) at University of Utah Medical Center, served as the sample population. The subjects were tested at 3 to 4.5 years of age using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales (Fourth Edition) and the motor section of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities. In addition, infant medical data were obtained from medical records, and demographic data were collected including mother's age at time of birth, family income, mother's and father's education level, and birth order of the infant.
The MIVH, SIVH, and LBW groups had significantly lower gestational ages and birthweights and significantly more medical complications than did the NBW group. The MIVH and SIVH groups also had significantly lower birthweight and gestational ages than did the LBW group, but approximately equivalent numbers of medical complications.
Significant group differences were found only between the MIVH and NBW groups on the McCarthy motor score, with the MIVH group appearing to outperform the NBW group following statistical manipulation with analysis of covariance. No other significant group differences were found. Further research with a larger sample is recommended in order to more fully understand the later outcome following LBW and IVH.
On the Suppression of Parametric Resonance and the Viability of Tachyonic Preheating after Multi-Field Inflation

description: We investigate the feasibility of explosive particle production via parametric resonance or tachyonic preheating in multi-field inflationary models by means of lattice simulations. We observe a strong suppression of resonances in the presence of four-leg interactions between the inflaton fields and a scalar matter field, leading to insufficient preheating when more than two inflatons couple to the same matter field. This suppression is caused by a dephasing of the inflatons that increases the effective mass of the matter field. Including three-leg interactions leads to tachyonic preheating, which is not suppressed by an increase in the number of fields. If four-leg interactions are sub-dominant, we observe a slight enhancement of tachyonic preheating. Thus, in order for preheating after multi-field inflation to be efficient, one needs to ensure that three-leg interactions are present. If no tachyonic contributions exist, we expect the old theory of reheating to be applicable.

title: Reaction Time in Elderly Subjects: The Effects of Practice on 'Iwo Different Reaction Time Tasks
Creators: name: Birk, Dawn Marie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: The reaction time of four groups of elderly human subjects were examined to determine the effects of stimulus presentation and task practice. Each group practiced different tasks, each requiring a response when more than one alternative was available. Two tasks involved making responses based on either visually or auditorily presented stimuli only. One task required decisions to be made on the basis of both auditory and visual stimuli. The fourth group acted as a comparison group and did not practice a reaction-time task; although they did perform a task on the computer and their reaction times were measured. Before and after practicing these tasks, each group was given a single trial involving a completely different decision-making task, and reaction time was measured. Results show that practice led to decreased reaction times on the practiced task in all treatment groups. The comparison group did not improve. Practicing any of the three reaction time tasks also led to decreased reaction time on the unpracticed task. These findings indicate that elderly individuals can decrease their reaction time with practice and that after practicing one task, changes will generalize to a different task. If the older population can alter performance on this task, then they nay also be capable of altering performance on other tasks.

Stability in systems of work : the management of motivation, performance, risk and trust
Creators: name: Reed, Kenneth
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis addresses the issue of the achievement of stability and order in work, given the conditions characterising modern, complex production systems. Four sources of instability are discussed: economic conditions; the employment relationship; managerial decision-making; and work motivations. The thesis draws the implication that the conditions that frame the organisation of work are the result of complex interactions between structures and processes at several analytically distinct levels, ranging from the meaning work has for people to the economic structure of the capitalist mode of production. In response to this, 'work' is conceptualised as a system of action connecting the microsocial structures and processes of individuals' lifeworlds to the global structures of the modern world economy. The institutionalisation of the practices by which order and stability are achieved can be seen as the outcome of the capacity of the system of production to respond to uncertainty. The thesis identifies two levels at which such responses can be analysed: the integration of elements in a system of production; and the relationship between the system and the activities of actors. These two levels are developed from Lockwood's (1964) distinction between system integration and social integration. The thesis argues that generic forms of organising work are the outcome of institutionalised responses to system and social integration problems. The problem of 'social integration' focuses on the relationship of workers to the system of production. It links motivation to production in a context of increasingly diverse motivations and differentiating sites of production. Social integration is achieved largely through the channelling of individual motives into institutionalised orientations to work: and through four key structural features of work settings: work roles; routines and procedures; social groups; and the workflow. 'System integration' refers to the degree of stability and order, given continuous change at the level of the mode of production (exemplified by technological innovation, organisational differentiation, commodification and the globalisation of production). The thesis proposes that changes at the system level generate new conditions to which organisations are forced to adjust and it is through these adjustments that system integration can be achieved. Two general types of adjustment, centring on the management of uncertainty, are proposed: the way firms organise themselves to respond to external conditions (through the use of information to manage risk); and the co-ordination and control of the intra-organisational division of labour (through the reproduction of trust). The thesis concludes with a review of the implications of the theory and empirical findings for future research; an assessment of future possibilities for the organisation of work; and implications for improving the principles of job design.

Theoretical study of transform picture coding systems and an investigation of a new measure of distortion in processed images
Creators: name: Baillie, Alexander John Main
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The performance of systems which employ a linear transformation and block quantization to encode visual information sources has been investigated. The effect of several relevant design parameters upon the behavior of these systems was examined theoretically. The performance criterion used was the rate measured in bits-per-picture sample required to transmit an image through a noiseless digital channel such that the average distortion in the received picture is less than a specified value. As a measure of image distortion, the mean-squared-error, well-known for its analytical tractability, was used. A second measure of image distortion which incorporates knowledge of the human visual system was examined. The new distortion index proposed by Stockham is expected to correlate well with subjective assessments of picture distortion although no experiments have been performed, as yet, to show this. In order to determine what, if anything, could be learned about this second distortion measure from theoretical considerations alone, a procedure was developed to estimate its value for given bit rates. These values were compared to the mean-squared-error distortion values obtained for the same bit rates in an attempt to gain some insight into the usefulness of the second distortion measure.
Improved transverse (e,e') response function of 3He at intermediate momentum transfers

description: The transverse electron scattering response function of 3He is studied in the quasi-elastic peak region for momentum transfers between 500 and 700 MeV/c. A conventional description of the process leads to results at a substantial variation with experiment. To improve the results, the present calculation is done in a reference frame (the ANB or Active Nucleon Breit frame) which diminishes the influence of relativistic effects on nuclear states. The laboratory frame response function is then obtained via a kinematics transformation. In addition, a one-body nuclear current operator is employed that includes all leading order relativistic corrections. Multipoles of this operator are listed. It is shown that the use of the ANB frame leads to a sizable shift of the quasi-elastic peak to lower energy and, contrary to the relativistic current, also to an increase of the peak height. The additionally considered meson exchange current contribution is quite small in the peak region. In comparison with experiment one finds an excellent agreement of the peak positions. The peak height agrees well with experiment for the lowest considered momentum transfer (500 MeV/c), but tends to be too high for higher momentum transfer (10% at 700 MeV/c).

The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
title: Obesity Management: A Meta-Analysis of Key Factors
Creators: name: Christian, David E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: Obesity is a prevalent and refractory disorder. This study consisted of a meta-analysis of research focusing on diet and exercise treatments and their impact on obesity related measures. Only studies that report data for periods of 6 months or more after treatment onset were included. Forty-four studies were analyzed. These were drawn from 16 previous reviews of the literature as well as several computer data bases.
Following are some of the tentative conclusions drawn: (a) diets consisting of improved nutritional quality yield superior results to restricted calorie diets; (b) flexible, self-directed exercise yields better results than more regimented exercise; (c) individual administration of treatment produces more weight loss than group-based treatment; and (d) long-term efficacy has not yet been demonstrated by any treatment type or modality.
title: An Examination of Open- and Closed-Economic Conditions in Operant Research
Creators: name: Loftin, Craig R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: The effect of economic condition on the relation between responding and overall rate of reinforcement has been an area of recent interest in operant research. The present research was conducted to determine whether the manipulation of the economic condition, by the systematic manipulation of the provision of substitute food, has an effect on this relation and whether open- and closed-economies represent two opposing alternatives or two parametric extremes along- a continuum. The results of two experiments conducted with pigeons using variable-interval and fixed-ratio schedules of reinforcement suggest that the manipulation of economic condition has a controlling effect on the relation between responding and overall rate of reinforcement, that open- and closed- economies are likely to represent points along- a continuum rather than all-or-none conditions, and that the differences in the response-to- reinforcement relation between open- and closed-economies are likely due to an interaction of incentive and regulatory effects. Additionally, specific methodological considerations for further research in this area are suggested.
Anomalous Hall Effect in $t_{2g}$ Orbital Kagome Lattice due to Non-collinearity:Significance of Orbital Aharonov-Bohm Effect

description: A new mechanism of spin structure-driven anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in tilted ferromagnetic metals is proposed by taking account of the d-orbital degree of freedom. We find that a conduction electron acquires a Berry phase due to the complex d-orbital wavefunction, in the presence of non-collinear spin structure and the spin orbit interaction. The AHE driven by this orbital-derived Berry phase is much larger than the AHE induced by spin chirality, and it naturally explains the salient features of spin structure-driven AHE in pyrochlore Nd$_2$Mo$_2$O$_7$. Since the proposed AHE can occur even for coplanar spin orders ($M_z=0$), it is expected to emerge in other interesting geometrically frustrated systems.

An Experiment in Hiring Discrimination via Online Social Networks

description: We investigate whether personal information posted by job candidates on social media sites is sought and used by prospective U.S. employers. We create profiles for job candidates on popular social networks, manipulating information protected under U.S. laws, and submit job applications on their behalf to more than 4,000 employers. We estimate employer search activity and bias in interview callbacks. We find evidence of employers searching online for the candidates. At the national level, we find no significant difference in the callback rates for a Muslim versus a Christian candidate, or for a gay versus a straight candidate. However, employers in Republican areas exhibit significant bias against the Muslim candidate relative to the Christian candidate. This bias is significantly larger than the bias in Democratic areas. The results on callback bias are robust to using state- and county-level data, to controlling for firm, job, and geographical characteristics, to including additional interaction effects in the empirical specification, and to several estimation strategies. The results suggest that the online disclosure of certain personal traits can influence the hiring decisions of some U.S. employers, but the likelihood of hiring discrimination via online searches varies across employers.

description: The Astronomy Data And Computing Services (ADACS) initiative has been working with the Australian astronomy community for just over 3 years now. Our vision is to deliver astronomy-focused training, support and expertise to maximise the scientific return on investments in astronomical data & computing infrastructure. During these last 3 years, we have delivered dozens of face-to-face, hands-on workshops and created several hours worth of online tutorial materials. This talk will focus on our journey to deliver this computational skills training to the community, exploring how we chose different delivery pathways and content, based both on community input as well as our professional expertise and understanding of existing skill gaps. Most importantly we will discuss our plans for the future and how we are working on actively including the community in developing new training material beyond the usual skills survey. Come along to this talk if you would like to hear about a national effort to deliver computational skills training and would like to know more about potential new avenues to provide just-in-time training and how to collaborate with ADACS.

description: To obtain the modelling of an ICP torch that can be used as a test case, we have to determine all the thermodynamic properties and transport coefficients. To calculate the data we have first to determine the composition and the collisions integrals for all the species in the purpose to calculate the transport coefficients. We apply the calculation to the Mars and to the Titan atmosphere compositions. The intensities of the spectral lines are determined versus temperature.
