title: PMS: Bi-Phasic Differences in Personality and Marital Relations Among a Clinical Sample
Creators: name: Rogers, Donna R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a controversial and widely misunderstood syndrome which encompasses mood, behavior, and physical symptoms that occur cyclically and are associated with the menstrual cycle. Many women report suffering from recurring PMS symptoms severe enough to create a temporary physical or mental incapacitation which may affect the marital relationship. A study was initiated to document bi-phasic personality and marital changes related to PMS.
This sample consisted of 119 adult females and their husbands, ranging in age between 18 and 60, who sought diagnosis and treatment at the Utah PMS Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. Within this clinical sample, comparisons were made between those who appeared to have the most positive indicators of PMS, as identified by the Dalton Diagnostic Pointer, the monthly symptom calendar, and the dOCtor's diagnostic impression, and those who did not, according to the same criteria. The marital relationship was assessed by both husband and wife during the follicular (approximately day 6 to day 14) and luteal (approximately day 14 to first day of menses) phases of the menstrual cycle using the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Scale. Personality changes were measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPO, which was administered to the wife only during both phases.
Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to determine if I) for the entire sample, there are differences in women's mental health, and marital adjustment (as reported by both husband and wife) between the two cyclic phases, and 2) whether or not mental health and marital adjustment changes are similar between those women with positive indicators of PMS, versus those without. Final results of this study show that, overall, the entire sample is reporting significantly less healthy personality adjustment for the wife, as well as lower marital adjustment for both husband and wife during the symptomatic phase. There are some indications that, although these changes are present in both groups (those with PMS and those without), the changes are less dramatic for those women and couples with less likelihood of PMS.
These findings have important implications for counselors and marriage therapists in that PMS has been shown to be related to psychological dysfunction and marital stress. Diagnosticians who test women during the symptomatic phase and obtain test results which are not representative of the client"s overall health and well-being would also benefit from the results of this study.

Uniform linear inviscid damping and enhanced dissipation near monotonic shear flows in high Reynolds number regime (I): the whole space case
Creators: name: Jia, Hao

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study the dynamics of the two dimensional Navier Stokes equations linearized around a strictly monotonic shear flow on $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}$. The main task is to understand the associated Rayleigh and Orr-Sommerfeld equations, under the natural assumption that the linearized operator around the monotonic shear flow in the inviscid case has no discrete eigenvalues. We obtain precise control of solutions to the Orr-Sommerfeld equations in the high Reynolds number limit, using the perspective that the nonlocal term can be viewed as a compact perturbation with respect to the main part that includes the small diffusion term. As a corollary, we give a detailed description of the linearized flow in Gevrey spaces (linear inviscid damping) that are uniform with respect to the viscosity, and enhanced dissipation type decay estimates. The key difficulty is to accurately capture the behavior of the solution to Orr-Sommerfeld equations in the critical layer. In this paper we consider the case of shear flows on $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}$. The case of bounded channels poses significant additional difficulties, due to the presence of boundary layers, and will be addressed elsewhere.

title: Family Background and Personal Characteristics as Correlates of Sexual Intercourse Experience Among Adolescent Females
Creators: name: Bingham, C. Raymond
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: A sub-sample of 814 nonvirgin, adolescent females was drawn from the 1979 U. S. National Survey of Young Women in order to study the correlates of age at first sexual intercourse. This sample was analyzed using a conceptual model developed from past research, as well as some intuitively interesting associations meriting investigation.
Multiple regression procedures were used in analysis of variables by block. In the block analysis several variables were found to predict age at first sexual intercourse. These variables included all the control variables (respondent's age, race, religion, and age at menarche), household income, ideal age for first marriage, ideal age for first birth, and enjoyment of dangerous activities.
The control variables were found to account for a major portion of the variance in the model. Of the controls, chronological age and age at menarche were highly significant across all the models tested. The significant independent variables in the model were total household income, ideal age for marriage and ideal age at first birth, however, these three variables accounted for a small proportion of the total variance in the model, net of controls.
The extended X-ray emission around HDF130 at z=1.99: an inverse Compton ghost of a giant radio source in the Chandra Deep Field North

description: One of the six extended X-ray sources found in the Chandra DeepField North is centred on HDF130, which has recently been shown to be a massive galaxy at z=1.99 with a compact radio nucleus. The X-ray source has a roughly double-lobed structure with each lobe about 41 arcsec long, or 345 kpc at the redshift of HDF130. We have analyzed the 2 Ms X-ray image and spectrum of the source and find that it is well fit by a power-law continuum of photon index 2.65 and has a 2--10 keV luminosity of 5.4x10^{43}ergps (if at z=1.99). Any further extended emission within a radius of 60 arcsec has a luminosity less than half this value, which is contrary to what is expected from a cluster of galaxies. The source is best explained as an inverse Compton ghost of a giant radio source, which is no longer being powered, and for which Compton losses have downgraded the energetic electrons, γ> 10^4, required for high-frequency radio emission. The lower energy electrons, γ~1000, produce X-rays by inverse Compton scattering on the Cosmic Microwave Background. Depending on the magnetic field strength, some low frequency radio emission may remain. Further inverse Compton ghosts may exist in the Chandra deep fields.

description: With the unprecedented growth of urbanization globally, city management faces numerous challenges requiring innovative technological solutions. This paper explores the critical role of Remote Sensing (RS) and satellite imagery in enhancing urban management, planning, and monitoring. By leveraging high-resolution imagery from satellites such as Landsat, QuickBird, IKONOS, IRS, ASTER, SPOT, ETM+, and TM, urban data can be rapidly collected and analyzed. Applications range from population analysis, real estate valuation, and vegetation cover monitoring to disaster assessment, air pollution tracking, and urban transport planning. The study highlights how RS contributes to evidence-based decision-making in modern urban management.

Enhanced relativistic harmonics by electron nanobunching

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is shown that when an few-cycle, relativistically intense, p-polarized laser pulse is obliquely incident on overdense plasma, the surface electrons may form ultra-thin, highly compressed layers, with a width of a few nanometers. These electron "nanobunches" emit synchrotron radiation coherently. We calculate the one-dimensional synchrotron spectrum analytically and obtain a slowly decaying power-law with an exponent of 4/3 or 6/5. This is much flatter than the 8/3 power of the BGP (Baeva-Gordienko-Pukhov) spectrum, produced by a relativistically oscillating bulk skin layer. The synchrotron spectrum cut-off frequency is defined either by the electron relativistic $γ$-factor, or by the thickness of the emitting layer. In the numerically demonstrated, locally optimal case, the radiation is emitted in the form of a single attosecond pulse, which contains almost the entire energy of the full optical cycle.

A Locally Corrected Multiblob Method with Hydrodynamically Matched Grids for the Stokes Mobility Problem

description: Inexpensive numerical methods are key to enable simulations of systems of a large number of particles of different shapes in Stokes flow. Several approximate methods have been introduced for this purpose. We study the accuracy of the multiblob method for solving the Stokes mobility problem in free space, where the 3D geometry of a particle surface is discretised with spherical blobs and the pair-wise interaction between blobs is described by the RPY-tensor. The paper aims to investigate and improve on the magnitude of the error in the solution velocities of the Stokes mobility problem using a combination of two different techniques: an optimally chosen grid of blobs and a pair-correction inspired by Stokesian dynamics. Optimisation strategies to determine a grid with a certain number of blobs are presented with the aim of matching the hydrodynamic response of a single accurately described ideal particle, alone in the fluid. Small errors in this self-interaction are essential as they determine the basic error level in a system of well-separated particles. With a good match, reasonable accuracy can be obtained even with coarse blob-resolutions of the particle surfaces. The error in the self-interaction is however sensitive to the exact choice of grid parameters and simply hand-picking a suitable blob geometry can lead to errors several orders of magnitude larger in size. The pair-correction is local and cheap to apply, and reduces on the error for more closely interacting particles. Two different types of geometries are considered: spheres and axisymmetric rods with smooth caps. The error in solutions to mobility problems is quantified for particles of varying inter-particle distances for systems containing a few particles, comparing to an accurate solution based on a second kind BIE-formulation where the quadrature error is controlled by employing quadrature by expansion (QBX).

description: We are carrying out the densest and longest multiyear, multiwavelength monitoring project of OJ 287 ever done. The project MOMO (Multiwavelength Observations and Modelling of OJ 287) covers wavelengths from the radio to the high-energy regime. A few selected observations are simultaneous with those of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). MOMO aims at understanding disk-jet physics and at testing predictions of the binary black hole scenario of OJ 287. Here, we present a discussion of extreme outburst and minima states in context, and then focus on the recent flux and spectral evolution between 2021 and May 2022, including an ongoing bright radio flare. Further, we show that there is no evidence for precursor flare activity in our optical-UV-X-ray light curves that would be associated with any secondary supermassive black hole (SMBH) disk impact and that was predicted to start as thermal flare on 2021 December 23.

title: The Correlation Between Life Satisfaction and Farm Involvement Among Utah Dairy Farm Men and Women
Creators: name: Browning, Phillip S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The purpose of this study is to look at the relationship between life satisfaction and farm involvement among dairy farm men and women in Utah. Farm involvement is defined as farm tasks, decision making, and participation in farm organizations. A sample of 116 couples were drawn from five counties in Utah. The husbands and wives were each interviewed separately. The sample is representative of the dairy farms in these five counties. However, the results of this study cannot be generalized to other types of farms in Utah or dairy farms from other locations.
The correlation between life satisfaction and farm tasks, decision-making patterns, and participation in farm organizations was computed separately for the men and the women. Next, a correlation between life satisfaction and farm tasks, decision-making patterns, and participation in farm organizations was computed for men and women separately based on three farm sizes: small with 50 or fewer milk cows, medium with 51 to 150 milk cows, and large with over 150 milk cows.
The independent variable, farm tasks, was divided into four catagories: farm work, running errands, bookkeeping, and supervising farm workers. The independent variable, decision - making patterns, was divided into two catagories: farm decisions and home decisions. The correlation between life satisfaction and participation in farm organizations was statistically significant for dairy farm men overall ( r=-. 24, p=.008) and also for men from small farms (r=-.37 p=.006) . A negative correlation on this variable is interpreted as more participation. The correlation between life satisfaction and bookkeeping for women from small farms was statistically significant (r=-.28, p=.043) . The correlation between life satisfaction and farm decisions for women from small farms was statistically significant (r=.31, p=.024). The correlation between life satisfaction and home decisions for women from small farms was statistically significant (r=-.41, p=.OO1).
Future research should explore in more detail the relationship between life satisfaction and membership in farm organizations and the use of these organizations.

description: Continuum hydrodynamic models of active liquid crystals have been used to describe dynamic self-organising systems such as bacterial swarms and cytoskeletal gels. A key prediction of such models is the existence of self-stabilising kink states that spontaneously generate fluid flow in quasi-one dimensional channels. Using simple stability arguments and numerical calculations we extend previous studies to give a complete characterisation of the phase space for both contractile and extensile particles (ie pullers and pushers) moving in a narrow channel as a function of their flow alignment properties and initial orientation. This gives a framework for unifying many of the results in the literature. We describe the response of the kink states to an imposed shear, and investigate how allowing the system to be polar modifies its dynamical behaviour.

description: In addition to the established postural control role of the reticulospinal tract (RST), there has been an increasing interest on its involvement in strength, motor recovery, and other gross motor functions. However, there are no reviews that have systematically assessed the overall motor function of the RST. Therefore, we aimed to determine the role of the RST underpinning motor function and recovery. We performed a literature search using Ovid Medline, Embase, CINAHL Plus, and Scopus to retrieve papers using key words for RST, strength, and motor recovery. Human and animal studies which assessed the role of RST were included. Studies were screened and 32 eligible studies were included for the final analysis. Of these, 21 of them were human studies while the remaining were on monkeys and rats. Seven experimental animal studies and four human studies provided evidence for the involvement of the RST in motor recovery, while two experimental animal studies and eight human studies provided evidence for strength gain. The RST influenced gross motor function in two experimental animal studies and five human studies. Overall, the RST has an important role for motor recovery, gross motor function and at least in part, underpins strength gain. The role of RST for strength gain in healthy people and its involvement in spasticity in a clinical population has been limitedly described. Further studies are required to ascertain the role of the RST's role in enhancing strength and its contribution to the development of spasticity.
A critical evaluation and test of break-even analysis as a technique for profit planning
Creators: name: Lim, Say Chong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study provides a critical evaluation of break-even analysis in terms of its assumptions and uses and also in terms of the economic theory of the firm in the short and long run and under perfect and imperfect competitive conditions. It also includes a test of the hypothesis that break-even analysis can be better than the percentage of sales method as a technique for forecasting the future operating profits of firms and the null hypothesis that there is no difference between break-even analysis and the percentage of sales method as a technique for forecasting the future operating profits of firms. The test is based on data (without adjustments) from Moody's Industrial Manuals. Although the break-even approach is more sophisticated and requires more time, effort and expense, the test shows that at the 0.01 level of significance, there is no difference between the accuracy of its forecasts of operating profits and that of the percentage of sales method. The hypothesis is therefore rejected and the null hypothesis accepted. The conclusion drawn from the test is that the management of a firm should not make use of break-even analysis to forecast its operating profits if it is not prepared to make any adjustments to its data to recognise the effects of changes in the determinants (excluding volume) of profits. The percentage of sales method should be used instead.

description: Blended mathematical sensemaking in science (blended MSS) involves deep conceptual understanding of quantitative relationships describing phenomena in science and has been studies in various disciplines. However, no unified characterization of blended MSS exists. We developed a theoretical cognitive model fro blended MSS grounded in prior work. The model contains three broad levels representing increasingly sophisticated ways of engaging in blended MSS: 1) deriving qualitative relationships among relevant variables describing a phenomenon (qualitative level, 2) deriving mathematical relationships among these variables (quantitative level), 3) explaining how the mathematical operations used in the formula relate to the phenomenon (conceptual levels). Each level contains three sub-levels. We used PhET simulations to design dynamic assessment scenarios in various disciplines to test the model. We used these assessments to interview undergraduate students with a wide range of math skills. Interview analysis provided validity evidence for the cognitive model. It also revealed that students tend to perform at the same level across different disciplinary contexts, suggesting that blended MSS is a distinct cognitive construct, independent of specific disciplinary context. This paper presents a first-ever published validated cognitive model for blended MSS which can guide instruction, curriculum, and assessment development.
Combining Direct & Indirect Kaon CP Violation to Constrain the Warped KK Scale

description: The Randall-Sundrum (RS) framework has a built in protection against flavour violation, but still generically suffers from little CP problems. The most stringent bound on flavour violation is due to epsilon_K, which is inversely proportional to the fundamental Yukawa scale. Hence the RS epsilon_K problem can be ameliorated by effectively increasing the Yukawa scale with a bulk Higgs, as was recently observed in arXiv:0810.1016. We point out that incorporating the constraint from epsilon'/ε_K, which is proportional to the Yukawa scale, raises the lower bound on the KK scale compared to previous analyses. The bound is conservatively estimated to be 5.5 TeV, choosing the most favorable Higgs profile, and 7.5 TeV in the two-site limit. Relaxing this bound might require some form of RS flavour alignment. As a by-product of our analysis, we also provide the leading order flavour structure of the theory with a bulk Higgs.

description: We compute the $T=0K$ Van der Waals (nonretarded Casimir) interaction energy $E$ between two infinitely long, crossed conducting wires separated by a minimum distance $D$ much greater than their radius. We find that, up to a logarithmic correction factor, $E\propto -D^{-1}| \sin θ| ^{-1}f(θ)$ where $f(θ)$ is a smooth bounded function of the angle $θ$ between the wires. We recover a conventional result of the form $E\propto -D^{-4}|\sinθ| ^{-1}g(θ)$ when we include an electronic energy gap in our calculation. Our prediction of gap-dependent energetics may be observable experimentally for carbon nanotubes, either via AFM detection of the vdW force or torque, or indirectly via observation of mechanical oscillations. This shows that strictly parallel wires, as assumed in previous predictions, are not needed to see a novel effect of this type.

description: The production of' turkeys by farmers for market in Utah has risen from a meager beginning a few decades ago, to one of the important agricultural industries today. Utah's turkey industry has expanded tenfold from the 226,000 head sold in 1929 to the record high 2,285,000 head sold in 1954. Pounds sold was 13 times greater in 1954 than in 1929 due to the increased weight per bird as well as to the increase in number of head. The record number of 2,285,000 head sold for the amount of $10,635,000. This accounted for about seven per cent of the total farm income in Utah.

description: Theory of change papers and projects are used by various marriage and family therapy (MFT) training programs throughout the United States and Canada. Little is known about how these projects differ and are similar from program to program. The purpose of this study was to obtain a better knowledge and understanding about these projects.
Questionnaires regarding the use of theory of change projects were sent to all accredited and candidacy MFT programs throughout the United States and Canada. An exploratory, descriptive design was used to guide the research, and content analysis was used to analyze the data. The research was done in an attempt to answer the three research questions: (a) what percentage of MFT programs are using theory of change projects?, (b) what are the processes used in preparing and presenting the projects?, and (c) what is the content required in these projects?
The research revealed that 27 (59%) programs that responded used theory of change projects. Among the data from these programs, nine themes emerged in the processes used to prepare and present the projects. Furthermore, there were four unique aspects to processes in preparing and presenting the projects. With regards to content required in the projects, there were six themes found which consisted of 23 categories. The six themes were theory/models, change, the therapy process, client issues, therapist issues, and contextual issues.
After reviewing the literature it is believed that theory of change projects may be useful in the training of marriage and family therapists. It has been learned through this study that many program directors are using some components in their projects that may be useful to other directors as they form or refine their own theory of change projects. In forming a theory of change project, it appears important to have students conceptualize both the change process and the treatment process and to integrate theory with practice.
It is hoped that findings from this study will be useful to both those MFT program directors and faculty that do not require a theory of change project, but desire to develop one, and those that already have a project, but are trying to improve it. The findings from this study will help programs gather ideas from each other in an attempt to make MFT training more useful throughout the U.S. and Canada.
title: GaN-based monolithic integrated power converter circuit design and associated application
Creators: name: Zhu, Yuhao
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Gallium nitride (GaN) devices are promising for power conversion applications due to their superior high breakdown voltage, high-temperature operation, and fast switching performance. All-GaN monolithic integration power systems circuit is utilized to reduce the chip size and to eliminate the parasitic parameters between the pre-driver module and power transistors. GaN MIS-HEMTs fabricated with the recessed gate method have high gate withstand voltages and small gate leakage by introducing an insulating layer in the gate region. Circuit and application development of GaN-based power semiconductor devices are investigated in this thesis.

title: Marketing Sheep and Lambs in Utah, 1954-55
Creators: name: Holmes, Lloyd I.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1956

description: The sheep industry of Utah bee an about the middle of the nineteenth century when the Mormon pioneers came to Utah. The first sheep in Utah were of Merino breeding kept primarily for wool production. These breeds were descendants of the early Merino sheep from Spain and were probably introduced into this country by Spanish explores. Sheep are produced to provide food and fiber in Utah. Utah's climate, topography, and natural vegetation are conducive to sheep production. Sheep do well in semi-arid climates and can economically harvest the natural vegetation on land not suited to crop production. Utah has large acreages of land of this nature and is, therefore, an important sheep producing state.

Aspects of the life-history of Cymatogaster aggregata Gibbons
Creators: name: Gordon, Charles Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Age and growth of the shiner perch, Cymatogaster aggregata Gibbons, were analysed with the aid of scales taken from fish obtained at Keates Island, British Columbia, in 1963 and 1964. Cymatogaster exhibits a relatively constant relationship between scale growth and increment of body length throughout its life and based on this observation a new method of back-calculation was developed. The scales of Cymatogaster may have up to three different types of checks, birth checks or metamorphic annuli, spawning checks, and annuli. The highest levels of instantaneous growth rates occurred during the spring and early summer, between the time of formation of an annulus and the following spawning check. It is during this period that water temperatures reach a maximum and food is most abundant. The lowest instantaneous growth rates occurred during the fall and winter months between the formation of a spawning check and the following annulus. Seasonal and diurnal movement patterns exhibited by Cymatogaster were studied by means of extensive gill net sets in 1963 and 1964 at the Keates Island study area. The fish first moved into the area in early June and left again by mid-October. In June, just prior to spawning, Cymatogaster exhibited a pattern of diurnal movement that involved migration from deep to shallow water during the day, and from shallow to deeper water at night. After the spawning period there was a complete reversal of the diurnal movement pattern. Light intensity appeared to be the most important factor governing the onshore and offshore movements of Cymatogaster. Stomach content analysis indicated that by volume, mussels and algae were the most important items in the diet of Cymatogaster, although barnacles and zooplankton were sometimes eaten in large quantities. Yearling Cymatogaster fed actively throughout the time they were present in the study area but mature fish exhibited a marked reduction of feeding during the spawning period. The initiation of feeding was governed primarily by an increase in light intensity associated with sunrise, and little or no feeding occurred during the hours of darkness. Data indicated that the rate of passage of food through the digestive tract varied between adults and yearlings, as well as seasonally. The relationships between age and growth, seasonal and diurnal movement patterns, and feeding habits and food preferences of Cymatogaster were correlated and related to factors of the physical and biotic environment.

Splitting of the Kondo resonance in anisotropic magnetic impurities on surfaces

description: Using the numerical renormalization group method, we study the splitting of the Kondo resonance by a magnetic field applied in different directions in the Kondo model for anisotropic magnetic impurities. Several types of magnetic anisotropy are considered: the XXZ exchange coupling anisotropy J_perp J_z, the longitudinal magnetic anisotropy DS_z^2, and the transverse magnetic anisotropy E(S_x^2-S_y^2). In the spin-1/2 model with the XXZ exchange coupling anisotropy we find very small direction dependence in the magnitude of the splitting. In the spin-3/2 model with the easy-plane (D>0) anisotropy, we observe very unequal magnitudes with further differences between x and y directions in the presence of an additional transverse anisotropy. A simple and rather intuitive interpretation is that the splitting is larger in magnetically soft directions. The magnitude of the splitting is directly related to the energy differences between spin states and it is only weakly modified by some multiplicative factor due to Kondo screening. The results for the S=3/2 model are in good agreement with recent scanning tunneling spectroscopy studies of Co impurities adsorbed on CuN islands on Cu(100) surfaces [A. F. Otte et al., Nature Physics 4, 847 (2008)]

description: The reciprocal effects of vegetation and soils have long been a subject of speculation and conjecture. In the management of any natural land area the problem of interpreting vegetational expression is especially important. The effects of native vegetation on soils and the effects of the soil on the vegetation have been studied and observed for many years. The arid-desert range lands have been studied and observed for many years. The arid-desert range lands have been studied least and as a result are not well understood.
As human populations increase there will be additional need for agricultural production, and these lands may be put to higher use, perhaps even to irrigated crop production. Basic to increasing the productivity of these lands is an understanding of the vegetation they are now supporting, what they supported prior to their use by domestic livestock, and why the present vegetation grows to the exclusion of other vegetation types.

title: Reluctant Immigrants of Utah the Uncompahgre Utes
Creators: name: Wardle, James W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: The purpose of this thesis is to narrate the history of the Uncompahgre Utes to the time of their removal to Utah territory in 1881. During about three hundred years of Ue-Spanish, Mexican relations, the Uncompahgres were never seriously threatened with subjugation. With the acquisition of the horses and other trade goods from the Spanish, the Uncompahgres developed many traits of the Plains Indians. They ranged over vast areas hunting wile animals, and raiding whites and enemy tribes.
But in less than thirty-three years after the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo which placed all of their domain within the bounds of the United States, the Uncomphgres were not only subjugated by the Americans, but moved off their land. This was done by the United States government prodded into action by land-hungry Coloradoans, through a series of five treaties or agreements. These were the Conejos Treaty in 1863, the treaty of 1868, the San Juan Cession of 1973 the Four-Mile Cession of 1879, and the agreement of 1881. Each of these pacts reduced the Uncompahgres land until it was all taken with the agreement of 1881, and they were removed from colorado to Utah.
