description: A series of challenges and crises have highlighted the deficits of the 'Schengen Αrea' both regarding its external and internal borders. This resulted in the undermining of trust between the Member States which is essential to sustain an area free from internal borders. Thus, the EU Commission presented in December 2021 new rules to strengthen the Schengen System. This Insight aims to analyse the promotion of 'alternative' measures to internal border controls as an attempt to curb secondary movements of third-country nationals without resorting to border controls, such as through in-creased joint police patrols. Special attention will be given to the introduction of a new 'alternative' measure envisaged in art. 23a of the proposal to amend the Schengen Borders Code that provides for a distinct transfer procedure for those apprehended at the internal borders in the context of cross-border police cooperation and who do not have a right to enter or stay. It is highly questionable though how this procedure will be implemented to be in line with the fundamental rights and the procedural safeguards envisaged in the asylum acquis, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and the European Convention on Human Rights.

Facial Expression Recognition in the Wild Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Creators: name: Farzaneh, Amir Hossein
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Facial Expression Recognition (FER) is the task of predicting a specific facial expression given a facial image. FER has demonstrated remarkable progress due to the advancement of deep learning. Generally, a FER system as a prediction model is built using two sub-modules: 1. Facial image representation model that learns a mapping from the input 2D facial image to a compact feature representation in the embedding space, and 2. A classifier module that maps the learned features to the label space comprising seven labels of neutral, happy, sad, surprise, anger, fear, or disgust. Ultimately, the prediction model aims to predict one of the seven aforementioned labels for the given input image. This process is carried out using a supervised learning algorithm where the model minimizes an objective function that measures the error between the prediction and true label by searching for the best mapping function. Our work is inspired by Deep Metric Learning (DML) approaches to learn an efficient embedding space for the classifier module. DML fundamentally aims to achieve maximal separation in the embedding space by creating compact and well-separated clusters with the capability of feature discrimination. However, conventional DML methods ignore the underlying challenges associated with wild FER datasets, where images exhibit large intra-class variation and inter-class similarity.
First, we tackle the extreme class imbalance that leads to a separation bias toward facial expression classes populated with more data (e.g., happy and neutral) against minority classes (e.g., disgust and fear). To eliminate this bias, we propose a discriminant objective function to optimize the embedding space to enforce inter-class separation of features for both majority and minority classes.
Second, we design an adaptive mechanism to selectively discriminate features in the embedding space to promote generalization to yield a prediction model that classifies unseen images more accurately. We are inspired by the human visual attention model described as the perception of the most salient visual cues in the observed scene. Accordingly, our attentive mechanism adaptively selects important features to discriminate in the DML’s objective function.
We conduct experiments on two popular large-scale wild FER datasets (RAF-DB and AffectNet) to show the enhanced discriminative power of our proposed methods compared with several state-of-the-art FER methods.

Teaching Students to Communicate with the Precise Language of Mathematics:  A Focus on the Concept of Function in Calculus Courses
Creators: name: Harkness, Derrick S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: The use of precise language is one of the defining characteristics of mathematics that is often missing in mathematics classrooms. This lack of precision results in poorly constructed concepts that limit comprehension of essential mathematical definitions and notation. One important concept that frequently lacks the precision required by mathematics is the concept of function. Functions are foundational in the study undergraduate mathematics and are essential to other areas of modern mathematics. Because of its pivotal role, the concept of function is given particular attention in the three articles that comprise this study.
A unit on functions that focuses on using precise language was developed and presented to a class of 50 first-semester calculus students during the first two weeks of the semester. This unit includes a learning goal, a set of specific objectives, a collection of learning activities, and an end-of-unit assessment. The results of the implementation of this unit and the administration of the assessment indicated that when students were able to construct the concept of function themselves and formulate a formal definition, they had a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the concept.
In order to demonstrate its validity, the assessment was analyzed as to its relevance, reliability, and its test items’ effectiveness in discriminating between different levels of achievement. The results of this analysis indicated that the assessment was relevant to both the mathematical content and learning levels indicated by the unit’s objectives and had a high level of reliability. Additionally, the test items contained in the assessment had a reasonable level of effectiveness in discriminating between different levels of student achievement.
Investigating Nest Box Utilization by Bumble Bees and Reproductive Development of Male Bumble Bees
Creators: name: Herndon, James Daniel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Bumble bees (Bombus Latrielle) are a wide-spread group of pollinating insects that are important species to conserve across many environments to ensure both ecological and economic resiliency because they pollinate important agricultural, horticultural, and wild flora. Surprisingly, fundamental questions still remain about this important charismatic group of pollinators. The investigations in this thesis are but two of many topics that require further research. The topics investigated are understanding bumble bee nest site preferences and reproductive development of both sexes of bumble bees. The first experiment (Chapter 2) investigates whether nest boxes elevated off of the ground and attached to trees attract bumble bees to initiate and start nests. This study documents which species interact with these nest boxes the most. Aspect of box placement and blue and ultraviolet (UV) painted entrances are tested for increased nesting by vernal queen bumble bees. Bumble bees interacted with 34% of nest boxes with Bombus appositus being the most abundant species observed interacting with nest boxes. Aspect and entrance color showed no significance in increasing nest-box interactions by bumble bee queens. The second experiment (Chapter 3) is the first study to document developmental patterns in the internal reproductive anatomy of adult male bumble bees as they age and investigates differences between males from queenless microcolonies to males produced from standard queenright bumble bee colonies. The species used is a bumble bee of interest for pollination of greenhouse crops, Bombus vosnesenskii. Overall, male development continues for up to 7 days in adult males and overall slows down once adult males are 8 days old. No significant differences in development are observed between males from microcolonies and males from queenright colonies but the size of the male is shown to be significant in the reproductive development of male bumble bees. The reproductive development of B. vosnesenskii males offers the first insights into development that takes place in bumble bees post-eclosion. These experiments provide knowledge on fundamental questions still unanswered about the bumble bee life cycle. These experiments are much needed to further understand how to utilize and conserve bumble bees for ecological and economic benefit.

The Effects of Milk Phospholipids on Functional Properties of Anhydrous Milk Fat and Oil Structured Gel Systems
Creators: name: Cooper, Zachary
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Lecithin is an ingredient commonly used in foods composed of high concentration of phospholipids. Phospholipids are a type of fat that can mix with both water and oil. In the current food industry, most lecithins come from sunflower, egg, and soybean sources. An additional source of phospholipids can be the waste streams from the dairy industry, such as the whey protein and butter making processes, since these contain a high concentration of phospholipids. Dairy phospholipids have been isolated in the past, but their traits as a functional ingredient are still unknown. In addition, most isolated dairy phospholipids still contain protein, lactose, minerals, or other types of non-fat soluble molecules. In the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industry the crystallization of fats and functionality of phospholipids is very important. Crystallization gives structure to food, cosmetic products, and some pharmaceutical products as well. The ways in which the molecules align and organize themselves into structures is referred to as crystallization. In this thesis it will be discussed how to isolate dairy phospholipids from a commercially available phospholipid concentrate into an oil soluble isolate and how the phospholipids influence the crystallization of anhydrous milk fat (concentrated butter containing less than 0.01% water) and the structuring of soybean oil. For the anhydrous milk fat, low concentrations of phospholipid was added (0%, 0.01%, and 0.1%) and crystallized at 24, 26, and 28 °C in anhydrous milk fat where the amount of solids (solid fat content), type of crystals (polymorphism), viscoelastic properties (the way crystals react under shear stress), hardness, melting behavior (the way in which the samples melt as temperature increases), and crystal shapes (crystal morphology) were measured. Results showed that PL can be used to tailor the crystals in anhydrous milk fat. In addition, three different mixtures were made using soybean oil and various concentration of PL (15%, 30%, and 45%). The amount of solids, oil binding capacity (ability to entrap liquid oil), viscosity (ability for samples to flow), melting behavior (the way in which the samples melt as temperature increases), and crystal shapes (crystalmorphology) were measured. It was observed that PL could be used to form a semi-solid structure and tailor the crystal formations that are formed due to the fatty acid composition of the lipid components of the PLI.

An Analysis of Syntax Exercises on the Performance of CS1 Students
Creators: name: Sullivan, Shelsey B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Students in introductory programming classes (CS1) generally have a difficult time learning the rules of programming. Although the general concepts of programming are relatively easy to learn, it can be difficult to learn what exactly can be typed in what order, which is known as syntax. To attempt to help students overcome this barrier, a study was conducted that introduced exercises into a CS1 class which taught the programming syntax in simple steps. The results of this study were obtained by analyzing the keys the students pressed, the errors of their code, their midterm exam scores, and their responses to a short survey.
It was found that the syntax exercises did not reduce the amount of time spent on the assignments or the number of keys the students pressed. However, they did help build the students’ confidence, as shown by an increased number of students that continued to attempt the assignments.
This could have a huge impact on the field of computer science, as a decrease in student frustration and an increase in student success will lead to more students remaining in computer science programs. More students in computer science programs will lead to a fuller, more diverse workforce.

description: Over the last decade, cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have seen significant applications in many safety-critical areas, such as autonomous automotive systems, automatic pilot avionics, wireless sensor networks, etc. A Cps uses networked embedded computers to monitor and control physical processes. The motivating example for this dissertation is the use of fault- tolerant routing protocol for a Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture that connects electronic control units (Ecus) to regulate sensors and actuators in a vehicle. With a network allowing Ecus to communicate with each other, it is possible for them to share processing power to improve performance. In addition, networked Ecus enable flexible mapping to physical processes (e.g., sensors, actuators), which increases resilience to Ecu failures by reassigning physical processes to spare Ecus. For the on-chip routing protocol, the ability to tolerate network faults is important for hardware reconfiguration to maintain the normal operation of a system. Adding a fault-tolerance feature in a routing protocol, however, increases its design complexity, making it prone to many functional problems. Formal verification techniques are therefore needed to verify its correctness. This dissertation proposes a link-fault-tolerant, multiflit wormhole routing algorithm, and its formal modeling and verification using two different methodologies. An improvement upon the previously published fault-tolerant routing algorithm, a link-fault routing algorithm is proposed to relax the unrealistic node-fault assumptions of these algorithms, while avoiding deadlock conservatively by appropriately dropping network packets. This routing algorithm, together with its routing architecture, is then modeled in a process-algebra language LNT, and compositional verification techniques are used to verify its key functional properties. As a comparison, it is modeled using channel-level VHDL which is compiled to labeled Petri-nets (LPNs). Algorithms for a partial order reduction method on LPNs are given. An optimal result is obtained from heuristics that trace back on LPNs to find causally related enabled predecessor transitions. Key observations are made from the comparison between these two verification methodologies.
Interactions Between Water-Stress and Maize Resistance to Spider Mites with Varied Host Specialization
Creators: name: Gill, Gunbharpur S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Spider mites are well-documented pests of many agricultural crops including cereals such as maize. In hot and dry conditions, when crop plants are under water-stress, spider mite populations can rapidly increase within weeks and can cause severe yield losses. One approach to manage pests, such as spider mites, is through the development and selection of plants that can resist pests. Screening of maize lines has provided evidence of spider mite resistance; however, it is unclear how plant water-stress may affect the ability of maize to sustain spider mite resistance. In addition, it is important to understand how plants respond to a combination of water-stress and the stress of herbivory. The frequency and severity of water-stress conditions are predicted to increase due to climate change. Therefore, understanding the effects of water-stress on maize resistance to spider mites is of critical importance. First, I evaluated the effects of water-stressed maize on the population growth of two species of spider mite, the twospotted spider mite (TSM) that feeds on a wide variety of plants and Banks grass mite (BGM) that feeds specifically on grasses, including maize. In addition, I evaluated plant responses to water-stress and herbivory for each mite species. I found that plants exposed to water-stress had increased spider mite populations. Interestingly, plants responded more when there was a combination of water-stress and TSM herbivory. I followed this with two studies, where I evaluated maize resistance to each mite species and tested whether water-stress affected resistance. I found that TSM was sensitive to maize resistance as its populations remained low, however, BGM feeding and reproduction was apparently unaffected by resistant maize. Furthermore, water-stress did not reduce maize resistance to spider mites. Together, my results show that maize resistance could be an important tool for spider mite management, specifically for TSM, and that this approach can be sustained in maize as water-stress conditions continue to be the new normal.
Rumination and Quality of Life among Northern Plains Indians

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Native Americans (NAs) share unique risk factors for poor mental health. In response, mental health providers must address barriers to treatment while making the most of low resource situations. One way to increase usefulness of treatment is to address the mechanisms underlying multiple mental health disorders. Rumination is a style of thinking marked by repeated thoughts about distress and is well-recognized as a diagnostic factor for underlying disorders in the general population. Secondary data from the Mood Disorder Assessment Validation with Northern Plains Indians (NPI) pilot study was used to examine the relationship between rumination and anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, as well as overall quality of life. Results indicated that as rumination increased, significant increases occurred in severity of symptoms reported for both women and men- but lower perceived quality of life only occurred in the presence of depressive symptoms. Significant differences arose between NPI women and men, with women reporting higher rumination, anxiety, and depression and men reporting higher substance abuse. Based on these results, rumination is useful as a transdiagnostic factor for NPI by uncovering the nature of maladaptive coping mechanisms. In addition, quality of life assessments are culturally-relevant ways to target maladaptive coping and replace unhealthy coping with more adaptive coping via culturally congruent methods.

Unconventional Reservoir

description: Successful shale gas and tight oil production is enabled by the engineering innovation of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Hydraulically induced fractures will most likely deviate from the bi-wing planar pattern and generate complex fracture networks due to mechanical interactions and reservoir heterogeneity, both of which render the conventional fracture simulators insufficient to characterize the fractured reservoir.  Moreover, in reservoirs with ultra-low permeability, the natural fractures are widely distributed, which will result in hydraulic fractures branching and merging at the interface and consequently lead to the creation of more complex fracture networks. Thus, developing a reliable hydraulic fracturing simulator, including both mechanical interaction and fluid flow, is critical in maximizing hydrocarbon recovery and optimizing fracture/well design and completion strategy in multistage horizontal wells. A novel fully coupled reservoir flow and geomechanics model based on the dual-lattice system is developed to simulate multiple nonplanar fractures' propagation in both homogeneous and heterogeneous reservoirs with or without pre-existing natural fractures. Initiation, growth, and coalescence of the microcracks will lead to the generation of macroscopic fractures, which is explicitly mimicked by failure and removal of bonds between particles from the discrete element network. This physics-based modeling approach leads to realistic fracture patterns without using the empirical rock failure and  fracture propagation criteria required in conventional continuum methods. Based on this model, a sensitivity study is performed to investigate the effects of perforation spacing, in-situ stress anisotropy, rock properties (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and compressive strength), fluid properties, and natural fracture properties on hydraulic fracture propagation. In addition, since reservoirs are buried thousands of feet below the surface, the parameters used in the reservoir flow simulator have large uncertainty. Those biased and uncertain parameters will result in misleading oil and gas recovery predictions. The Ensemble Kalman Filter is used to estimate and update both the state variables (pressure and saturations) and uncertain reservoir parameters (permeability). In order to directly incorporate spatial information such as fracture location and formation heterogeneity into the algorithm, a new covariance matrix method is proposed. This new method has been applied to a simplified single-phase reservoir and a complex black oil reservoir with complex structures to prove its capability in calibrating the reservoir parameters.

The oscillation is an ocean-only mode while excited by atmospheric forcing; in particular, it can be approximated as a linearly driven damped oscillator while the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) acts as part of the ''external" force. We also show that the influence of NAO-induced surface wind stress forcing quickly damps while the NAO-induced deep flow anomaly, integrating with ocean topography, plays a crucial role in this interdecadal mode. Including such deep ocean dynamics besides surface temperature (SST) significantly improves and prolongs the LIM's prediction skill of SST evolution.

Development of a High-Resolution Land Cover Dataset to Support Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management in Northern Utah

description: Integrated planning and management approaches, including bioregional planning and integrated water resources planning, are comprehensive strategies that strive to balance the sustainability of natural resources and the integrity of ecosystem processes with human development and activities. Implementation of integrated plans and programs remains complicated. However, geospatial technologies, such as geographic information systems and remote sensing, can significantly enhance planning and management processes.
Through a United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 Wetland Program Development Grant, a high-resolution land cover dataset, with a primary emphasis on mapping and quantifying impervious surfaces, was developed for three watershed sub-basins in northern Utah – Lower Bear-Malad, Lower Weber, and Jordan – to support integrated water resources planning and management. This high-resolution land cover dataset can serve as an indicator of cumulative stress from urbanization; it can support the development of ecologically relevant metrics that can be integrated into watershed health and wetland condition assessments; it can provide general assessments of watershed condition; and it can support the identification of sites in need of restoration and protection.

Essays in financial markets

Subjects: Stock exchanges

description: This dissertation studies how heterogeneous opinions affect financial market outcomes, including price informativeness and trading volume. The dissertation contains two chapters. In both chapters, theoretical models are developed and then supportive empirical evidence is provided. In the chapter ""Index Trading and Its Effects on the Underlying Assets'' (Chapter 2), I present a rational expectation model of index trading. The key finding is that the efficiency of each of the underlying stocks decreases as the proportion of index traders increases, while the efficiency of the index itself is unchanged. This result is achieved despite the fact that no arbitrage opportunities exist, i.e., the price of the basket (index) is the sum of its components. Using S&P 500 ETFs data, I show that the index contributes to price discovery in its underlying stocks. In addition, the regression analysis is consistent with the model predictions: index trading impairs efficiency of the component securities but does not have effects on the index itself. In the chapter ""News, Influence, and Evolution of Prices in Financial Markets'' (Chapter 2), we study the influence of published views on the evolution of prices by constructing a theoretical model and using empirical work to test the model. Our sequential trade model demonstrates how the influence of published views creates patterns in prices and volume. Still, a ""wisdom of the crowds'' effect emerges endogenously in our framework and helps expunge such shared errors from the price, thus setting the paper apart from the information cascades literature. We use the timing of earnings announcements to test our model, and find evidence consistent with the theoretical predictions. The magnitude of the empirical effects is then used to calibrate the model, and our calibration exercise suggests that patterns in the evolution of prices are affected more strongly by the extent of the influence of the published view than by its accuracy.

Experiments, analysis, and design improvement for new-generation buckling-restrained braces (brbs)

description: Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) are widely used in new and existing buildings to enhance their performance during large earthquakes. The new generation BRB has connection plates welded perpendicular to core plates, which makes the manufacturing easier compared to current construction. The new generation BRB has two connection plates on each end, which makes the pinned end, bolted end, and welded end much easier to construct and connect the BRB to buildings. Nine full-scale experiments carried out in this research demonstrates the ability of new generation BRBs to perform equally well as current generation BRBs. Research has been done for the buckling force of the core plate and the contact force between concrete and core plate for conventional BRBs, but specific equations for buckling force and contact force considering the friction between concrete and core plates have been developed when the core plate buckles in a number of waves for strong-axis buckling. A theory based on the strut-and-tie model was developed to predict strong or weak axis buckling for a given BRB. In addition, finite element models were developed which are compared to the analytical results for determining the occurrence of strong-axis or weak-axis buckling, as well as the magnitude buckling load. Allowable ratio of lateral force to BRB axial compressive capacity for a certain casing length and cross-section is determined using finite element analysis, at which BRBs can deform up to 2% interstory drift without global buckling. Simulation of the hysteretic performance of the nine BRBs tested in full-scale experiments is carried out using finite element analysis with quasistatic cyclic loads, and the results are then compared to the experiments. Finally, the factors which effected the out-of-plane buckling of the gusset plate in one of the experiments are investigated and measures to prevent this are offered.
