A vapour-pressure study of the [gamma] phase in copper-manganese alloys.
Creators: name: Peters, Bruno Frank
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The thermodynamic properties of the copper-manganese system were determined by the measurement of the vapour pressure of manganese tagged with Mn⁵⁴, using the Knudsen effusion method. Manganese shows a positive deviation from Raoult's law over the entire composition range. Copper, although showing a strong positive departure from Raoult's law at low copper content, shows a slight negative departure in copper-rich compositions. The negative departure, which can be associated with an affinity of copper for manganese is greatest at compositions of about 35% manganese. The behavior of both copper and manganese is much more ideal at lower manganese compositions. The ideal behaviour of the manganese in the alloys of low manganese content and the affinity of copper for manganese at about 35% manganese appear to corroborate Myers interpretation of the electronic configurations of copper and manganese in this system.
title: Utilizing Correct Prior Probability Calculation to Improve Performance of Low-Density Parity-Check Codes in the Presence of Burst Noise
Creators: name: Neal, David A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes provide excellent error correction performance and can approach the channel capacity, but their performance degrades significantly in the presence of burst noise. Bursts of errors occur in many common channels, including the magnetic recording and the wireless communications channels. Strategies such as interleaving have been developed to help compensate for bursts errors. These techniques do not exploit the correlations that can exist between the noise variance on observations in and out of the bursts. These differences can be exploited in calculations of prior probabilities to improve accuracy of soft information that is sent to the LDPC decoder.
Effects of using different noise variances in the calculation of prior probabilities are investigated. Using the true variance of each observation improves performance. A novel burst detector utilizing the forward/backward algorithm is developed to determine the state of each observation, allowing the correct variance to be selected for each. Comparisons between this approach and existing techniques demonstrate improved performance. The approach is generalized and potential future research is discussed.

description: The current communication presents a simple exercise with the aim of solving a singular problem: the retrieval of extremely large amounts of items in the Web of Science interface. As it is known, Web of Science interface allows a user to obtain at most 100,000 items from a single query. But what about queries that achieve a result of more than 100,000 items? The exercise developed one possible way to achieve this objective. The case study is the retrieval of the entire scientific production from the United States in a specific year. Different sections of items were retrieved using the field Source of the database. Then, a simple Boolean statement was created with the aim of eliminating overlapping and to improve the accuracy of the search strategy. The importance of team work in the development of advanced search strategies was noted.
title: Fatty Acid Induced Insulin Resistance in the Brain
Creators: name: Oh, Hyoung Il
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: The prevalence of obesity, which is considered as a disease, has been increasing uncontrollably over the last two decades. Obesity is a state of disregulated energy homeostasis characterized by hypothalamic resistance to adiposity signals (insulin and leptin). While many factors are involved in the development of obesity, excess dietary fat has been proposed as one of the main causal factors. This causes disrupted energy homeostasis by inducing both leptin and insulin resistance in the central nervous system. Although brain tissue was considered to be insulin independent for a long time, insulin is now recognized to have important functions in the brain in the regulation of feeding behavior, energy expenditure and peripheral metabolism to maintain energy homeostasis. Recently, our lab discovered that insulin has an anorectic effect when it is applied into the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA), a response that is similar to its effect when it is intracerebroventricularly (icv) administered into the hypothalamus. Our lab also demonstrated that rats fed a high fat diet lost the anorectic response to CeA insulin and became insulin resistant. These data suggested that insulin signaling in the amygdala had an important role in controlling food intake and energy expenditure in similar ways to the hypothalamus. It also suggests that a high fat diet inhibits amygdala insulin signaling in the CeA. Both in vitro cell culture and in vivo animal studies have been used to investigate the effects of dietary fats on insulin signaling in neuronal cells and in the amygdala. Using both hypothalamic GT1-7 cells and primary amygdala cells in culture, the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid was shown to inhibit insulin signaling (Akt phosphorylation). This response appears to be related to the activation of PKC-θ since the inhibitory effect of palmitic acid on Akt phosphorylation was greater in GT1-7 cells transfected with PKC-θ compared to wild type cells and was abolished in GT1-7 cells transfected with PKC-θ siRNA. Further investigations in vivo confirmed that insulin stimulated Akt and mTOR signaling in the CeA of rats and that the insulin stimulation of Akt phosphorylation, but not mTOR phosphorylation, was inhibited in rats fed a high fat diet for 3 days or by infusing palmitic acid into the CeA for 3 days. These experiments also identified that fatty acid and insulin signaling in the CeA differentially affected Akt and mTOR signaling in the hypothalamus and suggest that these neural connections might be important components of the neural pathways through which insulin in the amygdala affects food intake and peripheral metabolism. This research has provided novel insight into the effects of dietary fats on insulin signaling in an area of the brain, the CeA, that is now recognized to have effects on energy balance and peripheral metabolism.

The Mass Function of Void Groups as a Probe of the Primordial non-Gaussianity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The primordial non-Gaussianity signal, if measured accurately, will allow us to distinguish between different candidate models for the cosmic inflation. Since the galaxy groups located in void regions are rare events, their abundance may be a sensitive probe of the primordial non-Gaussianity. We construct an analytic model for the mass function of void groups in the framework of the extended Press-Schechter theory with non-Gaussian initial conditions and investigate how it depends on the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter. A feasibility study is conducted by fitting the analytic mass function of void groups to the observational results from the galaxy group catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 with adjusting the primordial non-Gaussianity parameter.

A regional planning analysis of a single enterprise community of settlements
Creators: name: Clegg, Edward Terrence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: It is the purpose of this Thesis to demonstrate: that a single enterprise community of settlements should plan its activities to prevent ghost towns from developing and to lessen the ill-effects of economic fluctuations; that a regional planning approach to this problem is the best since it produces balanced solutions from consideration of physical, social, and economic aspects; that the problems of single enterprise communities can be solved if a group or an individual who has recognized the problem can give the leadership needed to stir governments, companies, and the people sufficiently so that a regional planning administration will be established as the first step to solving the problem; and, finally, that the survey, analysis, and solutions, will be a contribution to knowledge. A survey of various communities was undertaken to demonstrate the problem. These were settlements as they existed in the past and as they exist today. The single enterprise community of settlements of the Rossland-Trail Region is used as a case study in order to show that such a community is vulnerable to the general problem but can be aided. A survey of its particular problems is undertaken and various solutions to them are offered. From the problems and solutions certain general principles are derived: The Principle of a Regional Planning Approach; The Principle of the Physical Habitat; A Principle for Regional Delimitation; The Principle of Economic Dominance; The Principle of a Regional Land-Use Balance; The Principle of Economic Expansion and Diversification; The Principle of Resource Development; The Principle of Citizen Participation; The Principle of Limited Jurisdiction; and The Principle of a Regional Planning Administration.
title: Closed-Loop Thrust and Pressure Profile Throttling of a Nitrous Oxide/Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene Hybrid Rocket Motor
Creators: name: Peterson, Zachary W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: Hybrid motors that employ non-toxic, non-explosive components with a liquid oxidizer and a solid hydrocarbon fuel grain have inherently safe operating characteristics. The inherent safety of hybrid rocket motors offers the potential to greatly reduce overall operating costs. Another key advantage of hybrid rocket motors is the potential for in-flight shutdown, restart, and throttle by controlling the pressure drop between the oxidizer tank and the injector. This research designed, developed, and ground tested a closed-loop throttle controller for a hybrid rocket motor using nitrous oxide and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene as propellants. The research simultaneously developed closed-loop throttle algorithms and lab scale motor hardware to evaluate the fidelity of the throttle simulations and algorithms. Initial open-loop motor tests were performed to better classify system parameters and to validate motor performance values. Deep-throttle open-loop tests evaluated limits of stable thrust that can be achieved on the test hardware. Open-loop tests demonstrated the ability to throttle the motor to less than 10% of maximum thrust with little reduction in effective specific impulse and acoustical stability. Following the open-loop development, closed-loop, hardware-in-the-loop tests were performed. The closed-loop controller successfully tracked prescribed step and ramp command profiles with a high degree of fidelity. Steady-state accuracy was greatly improved over uncontrolled thrust.

Semi-synthetic Negative & Positive Control Enhancing the Reliability and Power  in Single-cell and Spatial Omics Data Analysis
Creators: name: Li, Jingyi Jessica
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The presentation outlines the development and applications of advanced simulation tools designed to improve the reliability and interpretability of single-cell and spatial omics data analysis. Centered around the scDesign series (scDesign, scDesign2, scDesign3) and the newer scReadSim, scDesignPop, scIsoSim, and scEditSim, the work emphasizes three main goals: benchmarking computational methods, interpreting real data, and generating alternative datasets for robust statistical inference. scDesign3 simulates gene expression count data by modeling realistic joint and marginal distributions of molecular features such as genes, while scReadSim extends this to sequencing reads, capturing k-mer distributions and error rates. These tools provide controlled, realistic synthetic data that aid in method validation, interpretation of biological signals, and mitigation of false discoveries—exemplified by applications like ClusterDE, which addresses double-dipping in post-clustering differential expression analysis. The presentation ultimately showcases how tailored simulation frameworks can bridge the gap between statistical modeling and biological complexity.
title: Design and Construction of a Tunable Light Source with Light Emitting Diodes for Photosynthetic Organisms
Creators: name: Phillipps, Nathan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: This thesis describes and documents the design and construction of a light source which is tunable and has the ability to mimic the spectral output of the sun in the photosynthetic active radiation range (400 - 700 nm). To adjust the spectral output at different wavelengths different types of LEDs were chosen and combined. This thesis describes the design, construction, testing, and suggestions for further improvements to this light source. The light source is comprised of 900 LEDs with 26 different peak wavelengths within the photosynthetically active radiation range. The light source is made tunable through the use of a control system utilizing pulse width modulation. This unique light source will allow studies to be performed to understand spectral influences on microalgae and lipid production as well as other photosynthetic organisms.

description: Does past performance influence success in grant applications? In this study we test whether the grant allocation decisions of the Netherlands Research Council for the Economic and Social Sciences correlate with the past performances of the applicants in terms of publications and citations, and with the results of the peer review process organized by the Council. We show that the Council is successful in distinguishing grant applicants with above-average performance from those with below-average performance, but within the former group no correlation could be found between past performance and receiving a grant. When comparing the best performing researchers who were denied funding with the group of researchers who received it, the rejected researchers significantly outperformed the funded ones. Furthermore, the best rejected proposals score on average as high on the outcomes of the peer review process as the accepted proposals. Finally, we found that the Council under study successfully corrected for gender effects during the selection process. We explain why these findings may be more general than for this case only. However, if research councils are not able to select the 'best' researchers, perhaps they should reconsider their mission. In a final section with policy implications, we discuss the role of research councils at the level of the science system in terms of variation, innovation, and quality control.
title: Spacecraft Collision Probability Estimation for Rendezvous and Proximity Operations
Creators: name: Phillips, Michael R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The topic of this thesis is on-board estimation of spacecraft collision probability for orbital rendezvous and proximity operations. All of the examples shown in this work assume that the satellite dynamics are described by the Clohessy-Wiltshire equations, and that the spacecraft are spherical. Several collision probability metrics are discussed and compared. Each metric can be placed into one of three categories. The first category provides an estimate of the instantaneous probability of collision, and places an upper bound on the total probability of collision. The second category provides an estimate of total collision probability directly. The last category uses Monte Carlo analysis and a novel Pseudo Monte Carlo analysis algorithm to determine total collision probability. The metrics are compared and their accuracy is determined for a variety of on-orbit conditions. Lastly, a method is proposed in which the metrics are arranged in a hierarchy such that those metrics that can be computed quickest are calculated first. As the proposed algorithm progresses the metrics become more costly to compute, but yield more accurate estimates of collision probability. Each metric is compared to a threshold value. If it exceeds the limits determined by mission constraints, the algorithm computes a more accurate estimate by calculating the next metric in the series. If the threshold is not reached, it is assumed there is a tolerable collision risk and the algorithm is terminated. In this way the algorithm is capable of adapting to the level of collision probability, and can be sufficiently accurate without needless calculations being performed. This work shows that collision probability can be systematically estimated.

description: ALE and Taub-NUT (or ALF) hyper-Kahler four-manifolds can be naturally constructed as hyper-Kahler quotients. In the ALE case, this construction has long been understood in terms of D-branes; here we give a D-brane derivation in the Taub-NUT case. Likewise, instantons on ALE spaces and on Taub-NUT spaces have ADHM-like constructions related to hyper-Kahler quotients. Here we refine the analysis in the Taub-NUT case by making use of a D-brane probe, and give an application to M-theory.

title: Evaluating Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Utilization in a College Sample: A Multisite Application of the Sociobehavioral Model of Healthcare Utilization
Creators: name: Pratt, Kimberly M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among U.S. college students and the general public is substantial and growing; however, research on the characteristics of college students who use CAM and the factors that influence their decision to use CAM is scarce. The present study applied the sociobehavioral model of healthcare utilization to the examination of CAM utilization in a sample of college students in the western U.S. A total of 592 college students from ages 18-52 from two universities within the western U.S. completed a web-based survey assessing the relationships between their demographic characteristics, health locus of control beliefs, religious and spiritual beliefs, and physical and mental health status and their lifetime and past 12-month use of CAM across five domains (alternative medicine systems, biologically based therapies, manipulative and body based treatments, mind-body medicine, and energy medicine). Statistically significant relationships were found between CAM use and biological sex, financial dependency status, internal health locus of control, mental health status, and bodily pain. These predictors were combined, along with college attended, according to the sociobehavioral model of healthcare utilization and tested for their predictive efficacy. One hundred percent of those surveyed reported use of at least one type of CAM practice within their lifetime, and 88% reported use of at least one type of CAM practice within the last year. The interventions used most by college students in this study were deep breathing exercises (50.7%), yoga (39.7%), massage (37.8%), meditation (35.8%), pilates (20.4%), and chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation (20.1%). Moreover, they endorsed using these practices for the promotion of general wellness, improvement of psychological functioning, and alleviation of pain.
Multiple linear regression analyses of these variables revealed that their combination explained from 4.0% to 17.6% of the variance in CAM use in this sample. Results indicated that this model can be successfully applied to CAM use. These findings were evaluated and compared with previous findings regarding CAM use in both general population and college student samples. Specific implications for the fields of psychology, medicine, and health education within the areas of practice and research are discussed.

description: I evaluated movement patterns, survival and growth of adult Bonneville cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii utah in two tributaries of the Logan River in Northern Utah. My objectives were to detect movement patterns and compare survival and growth rates among trout exhibiting different movement patterns. In this study area both resident and fluvial (migrating between tributaries and main-stem river) life history strategies were observed. Significant differences were found in seasonal movement as movement was highest during spring and fall. No significant difference in growth was present between resident and fluvial groups of fish or between fish exhibiting other movement patterns. Survival rates were lowest during the summer for fluvial individuals. My results support the findings that adult cutthroat trout can be mobile or sedentary and that fluvial strategies exist in a population. Management efforts should focus on protecting and enhancing connectivity between tributaries and mains-stem habitats.

description: Using numerical renormalization group we study thermodynamic properties of a magnetic impurity described by the Anderson impurity model in a superconducting host material described by the BCS Hamiltonian. When the Kondo temperature in the normal state, T_K, is comparable to the critical temperature of the superconducting transition, T_c, the magnetic doublet state may become degenerate with the Kondo singlet state, leading to a ln3 peak in the temperature dependence of the impurity contribution to the entropy. This entropy increase translates into an anomalous feature in the heat capacity which might have already been experimentally observed.

title: Modulation of the Host Response to Tacaribe Arenavirus Infection in AG129 Mice by MY-24
Creators: name: Sefing, Eric
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2012

description: MY-24 is an aristeromycin derivative previously shown to protect AG129 type I and II interferon receptor knockout mice from lethal challenge with Tacaribe virus (TCRV). TCRV is nonpathogenic to humans, but is closely related to the highly pathogenic New World arenaviruses that cause often-fatal viral hemorrhagic fever syndromes. Remarkably, MY-24 prevented mortality without reducing TCRV burden in the circulation or tissues. To investigate the mechanism by which MY-24 protects AG129 mice against TCRV infection, we first characterized the natural history of disease in the model with an emphasis on cytokine responses and vascular integrity to establish the best times to evaluate the effects of MY-24 treatment on host responses believed to contribute to pathogenesis and fatal outcome. We found that viral replication in the blood and in various tissues precedes a hyperproduction of proinflammatory mediators that may lead to the destabilization of the endothelial barrier and increased vascular leakage believed to contribute to terminal shock associated with severe cases of hemorrhagic fever. We also found slightly reduced virus titers in certain tissues from MY-24-treated mice, suggesting that there may be a weak antiviral effect; however, TCRV was not cleared from lung, spleen, brain or kidney in recovering animals out to 40 days post-infection, indicative of the establishment of chronic infection in mice that are able to survive the initial challenge. Neutralizing antibodies do not appear to play a major role in the antiviral effect of MY-24, whereas reductions in several key proinflammatory cytokines in mice treated with MY-24 may serve to reduce vascular leakage caused by TCRV infection.

Polaris: An industry-led initiative to critically assess ML in drug discovery
Creators: name: Wognum, Cas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Machine learning (ML) is driving exciting innovations in drug discovery, but we need to be mindful of the circumstances that set this application apart. The absence of standardized, domain-appropriate datasets, guidelines and tools for the evaluation and comparison of methods has led to a growing gap between perceived progress and real-world impact, which is delaying the adoption of ML in drug discovery. To bridge this gap, we formed Polaris: An open-science, cross-industry and interdisciplinary collaboration to develop benchmarking protocols tailored to drug discovery. With Polaris, we are working on three main pillars: First of all, we leverage the unique expertise of scientists in the industry through steering committees to propose guidelines that reflect the real-world context. Then we simplify the adoption of these best practices through a set of open-source software tools, centered around the multimodal Polaris Hub benchmarking platform. Finally, we create incentives to adopt these practices through community initiatives. Jointly, we believe these three pillars will accelerate and amplify the effects of ML methods in drug discovery.

description: We observed spin injection into silicon through Fe/MgO tunnel barrier by using non-local magnetoresistance measurement technique. Fe/MgO tunnel barrier contacts with a lateral spin valve structure were fabricated on phosphorous doped silicon-on-insulator substrate. Spin injection signals in the non-local scheme were observed up to 120K, which is the highest value where band transferred spins in Si have ever been reported, and spin diffusion length was estimated to be about 2.25um at 8K. Temperature dependence and injection current dependence of the non-local voltage were also investigated. It is clarified that MgO tunnel barrier is effective for the spin injection into silicon.

Climatic and geomorphic techniques and their application to regional resource planning
Creators: name: Loney, Thomas William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The human race exists and progresses by virtue of a sum of knowledge, with which it is able to maintain a measure of control over the physical world. The real wealth of any region, race or nation is drawn from the land and today much of this land is bankrupt. Through overpopulation and misuse of his natural resources, man is rapidly backing himself into an ecological trap. The solution to this problem is to increase what may be termed the "carrying capacity" of the land. The only way this may be done is by national land use planning and development of resources on a regional basis. In developing land for any purpose, man faces certain physical limitations. The two most obvious and important are climate and land forms. Throughout history these fields have been studied and today are large and complex branches of science - they have remained, however, largely separate fields. Only very recently have some advances been made in the field of climatic geomorphology. The investigators in this field have tried to show some of the complex interrelationships that exist between climate and geomorphology. Unfortunately, although it shows great promise, most work to date has been on a highly academic level and its practical application has been piecemeal at best. This thesis is a modest attempt to define, on one hand, some fundamental interrelationships between climatology and geomorphology and then, on the other hand, to apply these defined principles to selected types of resource development regions. In this presentation, it is recognized that other factors, economic, political, administrative, technological, etc. may be equally, if not more important, in determining the patterns and nature of regional resource development; these factors, however, are only referred to in passing. The overall presentation is as follows: firstly, the need for regional resource planning is discussed in the light of pertinent physical factors. This is followed by two chapters which present an introduction into climatology and land forms. In these chapters the basic concepts and terms of these fields are explained and provide the essential background for the discussion to follow. To conclude the discussion of the physical elements, the two fields are interrelated and fundamental principles applicable to regional resource development, are developed. In the next section of the paper these principles are applied to selected types of resource development regions. In this connection, two major areas of development are examined as "case studies". These areas include: (1) the Kitimat-Kemano region as an example of the development of one resource; (2) the Lower Mainland region as an example of complex resource development which is influenced by a large urban area. Finally, the general applications of climatic and geomorphic principles to regional resource development which emerge from the examination of the two case studies are discussed.

description: Actigraphy, a technology for measuring a subject's overall activity level almost continuously over time, has gained a lot of momentum over the last few years. An actigraph, a watch-like device that can be attached to the wrist or ankle of a subject, uses an accelerometer to measure human movement every minute or even every 15 seconds. Actigraphy data is often treated as functional data. In this dissertation, we discuss what has been done regarding the visualization of actigraphy data, and then we will explain the three main goals we achieved: (i) develop new multivariate visualization techniques for actigraphy data; (ii) integrate the new and current visualization tools into an R package using object-oriented model design; and (iii) develop an adaptive user-friendly web interface for actigraphy software.
