description: We consider different effects that arise when time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductors are subjected to an external magnetic field, thus rendering the superconductor to be in the mixed state. We focus in particular on two time-reversal symmetry breaking order parameters which are believed to be realized in actual materials: $p+ıp'$-wave and $d+ıs$- or $d+ıd'$-wave. The first order parameter is relevant for Sr$_2$RuO$_4$, while the latter order parameters have been suggested to exist near surfaces in some of the high-$T_c$ cuprates. We investigate the interplay between surface states and vortex states in the presence of an external magnetic field and their influence on both the tunneling conductance and the local density of states. Our findings may be helpful to experimentally identify the symmetry of unconventional time-reversal symmetry breaking superconducting states.

Analysis of Transactional Interactions in Triadic Early Intervention Home Visits

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Growing evidence shows that triadic intervention can promote caregiver adoption of development-promoting behaviors that are supportive of child learning and development. However, there is a critical gap in our knowledge about the mutual influences of providers’ and caregivers’ actions within the context of early intervention (EI) home visits. Studies and assessment tools have overlooked the reciprocal nature of provider-caregiver interactions as they occur during EI home visits and have not focused on identifying the associations between specific adult behaviors. The primary aim of this study was to revise an existing assessment tool, the Triadic Intervention and Evaluation Rating Scale (TIERS), to capture a richer description of adult interactions as they occur during EI home visits. The revised tool, the TIERS-R, was developed in four phases using a systematic process: (a) content and format revision, (b) expert validation of revised content and format, (c) feasibility testing and revision, and (d) a small-scale evaluation of the TIERS-R in rating EI home visits. The secondary aim of this study was to establish the utility of the TIERS-R for evaluating provider-caregiver interactions as EI home visit sessions progressed. Study participants included: (a) an expert panel of 11 EI professionals who participated in the first three phases and (b) two raters who participated in the small-scale evaluation using the TIERS-R, coding videotapes of triadic home visits using secondary data that included four dyads. Yule’s Q revealed strong positive or negative sequential associations between several specific provider and caregiver behaviors that were defined in the TIERS-R. Further, descriptive analysis indicated that adult behaviors changed from beginning to end EI home visit sessions but varied across the four dyads. Social validity findings, including I-CVI scores of the expert panel’s relevancy ratings, mean scores of their clarity ratings, and User Feedback Survey responses, showed that the TIERS-R items are relevant to home visiting and are observable and measurable. Study limitations and implications for future research and practice are discussed.
title: Tertiary Stratigraphy and Structural Geology, Wellsville Mountains to Junction Hills, North-Central Utah
Creators: name: Goessel, Kathryn M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: This study integrates detailed mapping of Tertiary deposits along the divide between the lower Bear River basin and the Cache Valley basin with several other techniques to generate a depositional model, define extension-related structures, and compile a geologic history for this part of the northeastern Basin and Range province. The study area is situated along the topographic divide between Box Elder and Cache Counties, Utah, from the Wellsville Mountains north almost to Clarkston Mountain. These ranges are cored by folded and thrusted Paleozoic rocks. They are bound on the west by normal faults of the Wasatch fault zone and on the east by the West Cache fault zone. Between these two fault zones, poorly consolidated Tertiary deposits of the Wasatch Formation and Salt Lake Formation overlie Paleozoic rocks in the foothills and low divide between the north-trending ranges.
The Miocene to Pliocene Salt Lake Formation accumulated above non-tuffaceous conglomerates of the Paleocene to Eocene Wasatch Formation, up to 0.5 km thick in the Wellsville Mountains, but thin or absent northward. The Salt Lake Formation in the study area consists of an apparently non-tuffaceous lower conglomerate member, up to 0.5 km thick in the Wellsville Mountains, and a widespread younger tuffaceous and lacustrine member, at least 1 km thick. The traditional names of Collinston Conglomerate and Cache Valley Member were used for these two lithologies. The Cache Valley Member was further subdivided into a local tuffaceous basal conglomerate, a widespread tuffaceous subunit, and an overlying oolitic subunit.
Normal faults in the study area comprise three groups. North-striking normal faults are the youngest, and include major range-bounding faults. East-striking normal faults are less numerous, and are cut by the north-striking faults. The southwest-dipping low-to moderate-angle Beaver Dam fault separates the Cache Butte Divide and Junction Hills from the Wellsville Mountains. It may be unique within the area of study, and may comprise a newly identified segment of the Wasatch fault zone. Most of its displacement appears to pre-date the late Miocene, at the time that previous authors have suggested for the onset of Basin-and-Range normal faulting.

title: Conservative Tryptophan Mutations in Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase PTP1B and its Effect on Catalytic Rate and Chemical Reaction
Creators: name: Richan, Teisha
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphorylated tyrosines by a 2-step mechanism involving nucleophilic attack by cysteine and general acid catalysis by aspartic acid. In most PTPs the aspartic acid resides on a flexible protein loop, consisting of about a dozen residues, called the WPD loop. PTP catalysis rates span several orders of magnitude, and differences in WPD loop dynamics have recently been show to correlate with the rate of enzymatic catalysis. The rate of WPD loop motion could possibly be related to a widely conserved tryptophan residue on the WPD loop. Therefore, point mutants were made in PTP1B (a human PTP) to the conserved tryptophan residue and their effects on catalytic rate and chemical reaction were studied. The results of these studies are presented in this thesis.

description: A candidate for the oldest human occupation site in Italy is Monte Poggiolo where the lithic tool-bearing levels are currently dated to ~ 1 Ma based on electron spin resonance (ESR). The low analytical precision of ± 30% at 2σ makes it unclear whether the date actually conflicts with a recent reassessment of age constraints on key hominin sites from Italy, France, and Spain pointing to a uniformly young timing for the earliest habitation of southern Europe during the late Early Pleistocene climate transition within reverse magnetic polarity subchron C1r.1r (0.988–0.781 Ma). Our new magnetostratigraphic and biostratigraphic results show a sequence of stable normal and reverse polarities in a regional lithostratigraphic context that indicate the Monte Poggiolo tool-bearing site post-dates the Jaramillo normal polarity subchron, most probably occurring at ~ 0.85 Ma immediately after the pronounced cooling that culminated with marine isotope stage 22 when the associated regression may have opened new migration routes through the Po Valley for large mammals and hominins.
Core instability models of giant planet accretion II: forming planetary systems

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We develop a simple model for computing planetary formation based on the core instability model for the gas accretion and the oligarchic growth regime for the accretion of the solid core. In this model several planets can form simultaneously in the disc, a fact that has important implications specially for the changes in the dynamic of the planetesimals and the growth of the cores since we consider the collision between them as a source of potential growth. The type I and II migration of the embryos and the migration of the planetesimals due to the interaction with the disc of gas are also taken into account. With this model we consider different initial conditions to generate a variety of planetary systems and analyse them statistically. We explore the effects of using different type I migration rates on the final number of planets formed per planetary system such as on the distribution of masses and semimajor axis of extrasolar planets, where we also analyse the implications of considering different gas accretion rates. A particularly interesting result is the generation of a larger population of habitable planets when the gas accretion rate and type I migration are slower.

The stratigraphy, structure and tectonics of the Kukukuku Lobe : Permit 22, Papua
Creators: name: Kugler, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The Kukukuku Lobe is a complex uplift of Miocene sediments. This uplift basically represents the inversion of a deep, marine trough - the Aure Trough - in which volcanic sandstones, mudstones and conglomerates - the Aure Group - accumulated to a thickness at least of the order of 10,000 meters during the Lower Miocene and early Middle Miocene. The argillaceous Toa Group (late Middle Miocene-Upper Miocene; 3,000 m.) overlies the Aure Group and is overlain in turn by the Era Group (Pliocene; 2,200 m.). These units were deposited marginally to an uplifted area of the Aure Group and were in large part derived from the Aure Group. The tectonic history of the Kukukuku Lobe is traced by means of detailed stratigraphic and structural analyses, which reveal a sequential pattern of westward migrating depositional troughs (subsidence), followed a phase behind by westward migrating uplift and folding. The uplift and folding are oldest along the eastern side of the Kukukuku Lobe (Lower Miocene) and youngest along the western side (post-Pliocene), indicating a long-lived and essentially continuous deformational history. The Kukukuku Lobe forms the eastern leg of the Purari Orocline, and the tectonic development of the Lobe - from the earliest-formed sedimentary trough to the latest deformation - records the manner and mechanisms by which the Purari Orocline has formed. The Purari Orocline is placed in a regional geological context by reviewing the gross tectonic framework of New Guinea, and the stress system which gave rise to both the Purari Orocline and the Kukukuku Lobe is identified. This stress system is then related to the regional tectonic pattern of New Guinea and the southwest Pacific.

description: We present new data and a synthesis of cyclostratigraphic, lithostratigraphic, biostratigraphic, and published magnetostratigraphic and basalt geochemical data from eastern North America and Morocco in an attempt to clarify the temporal relationship between the Triassic–Jurassic mass extinction (∼ 202 Ma) and Earth's largest sequence of continental flood basalts, the Central Atlantic magmatic province (CAMP). Newly discovered zones of reverse polarity within CAMP flow sequences of Morocco have been hypothesized by Marzoli et al. [Marzoli, A., Bertrand, H., Knight, K.B., Cirilli, S., Buratti, N., Vérati, C., Nomade, S., Renne, P.R., Youbi, N., Martini, R., Allenbach, K., Neuwerth, R., Rapaille, C., Zaninetti, L., Bellieni, G., 2004.

Earth and Planetary Science Letters 228, 143–160.] as correlates of a very short, uppermost Triassic age reverse chron in the Newark basin, thus suggesting that much of the Moroccan CAMP was synchronous with or predates the Triassic–Jurassic boundary. Here, however, we explain these apparent reverse polarity zones as possible correlatives of poorly sampled lower Jurassic basalt flow sequences and overlying strata in eastern North America and lower Jurassic reverse polarity sequences recognized by others in the Paris basin. A revised Milankovitch cyclostratigraphy based on new core and field data constrains the duration of eastern North America basaltic flows to ∼ 610 ky after the Triassic–Jurassic palynological turnover event. Palynological data indicates correlation of the initial carbon isotopic excursion of Hesselbo et al. [Hesselbo, S.P., Robinson, S.A., Surlyk, F., Piasecki, S., 2002. Terrestrial and marine extinction at the Triassic–Jurassic boundary synchronized with major carbon-cycle perturbation: a link to initiation of massive volcanism. Geology 30, 251–254.] at St. Audrie's Bay to the palynological turnover event and vertebrate extinction level in eastern North America, suggesting a revised magnetostratigraphic correlation and robust carbon isotopic tests of the Marzoli–Knight hypothesis. We conclude that as yet there are no compelling data showing that any of the CAMP predated or was synchronous with the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event.
title: Control of Behavior Through Reinforcement Menus
Creators: name: Holt, Gary Lyndle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Reinforcement menus were used to dhange response probabilities while maintaining control over two ''trainable," female, mentally retarded children.
An empirically determined reinforcement menu representing high probability behaviors, five for S1 and four for S2, was used in a contingency management system. Instructions were given concerning the contingencies for obtaining reinforcement. Subjects were allowed the opportunity to engage in a high probability behavior only after successful completion of fixed units of reading or arithmetic tasks. After stable performance was established, four additional menus were prepared to approximate in increasing degree, low probability behavior. Measurements were taken of task time and response duration, the time spent traveling to and from the reinforcement area.
Task time and response duration reached asymptotic values and remained at baseline values throughout the menu fading procedures. At the completion of the menu fading, subjects were doing units of work involving reading and mathematics in order to have the opportunity to do some reinforcing arithmetic.

description: Analysis of tetrapod footprints and skeletal material from more than 70 localities in eastern North America shows that large theropod dinosaurs appeared less than 10,000 years after the Triassic-Jurassic boundary and less than 30,000 years after the last Triassic taxa, synchronous with a terrestrial mass extinction. This extraordinary turnover is associated with an iridium anomaly (up to 285 parts per trillion, with an average maximum of 141 parts per trillion) and a fern spore spike, suggesting that a bolide impact was the cause. Eastern North American dinosaurian diversity reached a stable maximum less than 100,000 years after the boundary, marking the establishment of dinosaur-dominated communities that prevailed for the next 135 million years.

description: The normal forced-choice Structured-Objective Rorschach Test (SORT) and a modified free-choice SORT were administered to sixty high school students to determine the effects of response set (e.g. social desirability). The results were inconclusive. The following trends, however, were observed: (1) The free-choice modification was more resistant to response set distortion than the normal forced-choice SORT. (2) The free-choice administration showed greater flexibility in enhancement and resistance to social desirability. (3) There was little sex difference in factor scores with respect to choice administration. Females, however, gave more responses than males on the free-choice SORT.
title: A Method for Quantifying the Effects of Apomorphine Upon the Gnawing Syndrome of the Rat
Creators: name: Robinson, Paul

Year: 1967

description: Various methods were tried in an attempt to obtain a technique for quantifying the gnawing effects of apomorphine on rats. A technique using a restraining tube was developed.
Under a 2 milligram per kilogram intraperitoneal injection of apomorphine, four female Long Evans hooded rats were placed on continuous and fixed reinforcement schedules using a gnawable pine block. Subjects would learn to turn their heads away from the gnawable object in order to obtain 15 seconds of gnawing time. The rate of response increased from less than one response in 5 minutes to over 3 responses per minute in 10 one-half hour conditioning sessions. Rates of response stabilized during the last 5 experimental sessions and fixed ratio schedules of up to 5:1 were obtained in five additional 1 '1/ 2 hour sessions.

title: An Experiment to Determine if Teacher Preparation in a Small High School Can be Reduced by Alternating Class Scheduling
Creators: name: Tuft, John Carl
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if by alternating certain classes biennially the number of different teaching preparations could be reduced thus decreasing the teachers' load. The study also attempted to ascertain the effect this type of scheduling had upon the attitudes of teachers and students toward these classes. A further attempt was made to determine if mixing students from two grade levels resulted in the younger student being penalized with respect to his cumulative grade point average.
The significant conclusions that can be drawn from the results follow:
Teachers, generally, thought well of the project and desires to participate in it. Although some teachers expressed reservations about the project there were none that could not be removed by correcting the problems expressed. At the conclusion of the study most were in favor of continuing the project.
By alternating classes biennially which were normally taught annually the class preparation load for teachers participating in the project was reduced and this basic quest of the project was, in fact, met.
Students were not aroused unduly by the experimental nature of the project but sensed the need for long-range planning and increased guidance in setting up their schedules. They did not object to being combined with other grade levels in the project classes. Contrary to administrative expectations, however, the younger students did tend to receive lower marks in the project classes.
Achievement progress as measured by the use of standardized tests revealed no significant difference between students in the experimental school and those students in the control school.
Milankovitch climate forcing in the tropics of Pangaea during the Late Triassic

description: During the Late Triassic, the Newark rift basin of Eastern North America was in the interior of tropical (2.5–9.5°N) Pangaea. Strikingly cyclical lacustrine rocks comprise most of the 6770 m of continuous core recovered from this basin by the Newark Basin Coring Project. Six of the seven drill cores (each from 800 to 1300 m long) from this project are used to construct a composite lake-level curve that provides a much needed record of long term variations in continental tropical climate. The correlations on which the composite section is based show complete agreement between lake level cycles and independent magnetic polarity boundary isochrons. The main proxy of lake level and hence climate used to construct this lake level curve is a classification of water-depth related sedimentary structures and fabrics called depth ranks. We then use Fourier frequency analysis (both FFT and multitaper methods) and joint time-frequency approaches to resolve the periodic properties of the cyclicity and the secular drift in those properties. A consistent hierarchy in frequencies of the lake level cycles is present throughout the Late Triassic (and earliest Jurassic) portions of the cores, an interval of about 22 m.y. Calibration of the sediment accumulation rate by a variety of methods shows that these thickness periodicities are consistent with an origin in changes in precipitation governed by celestial mechanics. The full range of precession-related periods of lake level change are present, including the two peaks of the ∼20,000 year cycle of climatic precession, the two peaks of the ∼100,000 year eccentricity cycle, the single peak of the 412,900 year eccentricity cycle, and the ∼2,000,000 year eccentricity cycle. There is also good correspondence in the details of the joint-time frequency properties of lake level cycles and astronomical predictions as well. Even in an ice-free world, the tropical climate of Pangaea responded strongly to astronomical forcing, suggesting that precession-dominated climatic forcing probably always has been a prominent feature of tropical climate.
title: Use of the Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms Rating Scale with Preschool Children
Creators: name: Phillips, Penny LaDee
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common disorder among children and is usually diagnosed during the school years, although symptoms must be present before age 7. As more children enter into preschool programs, there is great opportunity for early identification and treatment of behaviors related to ADHD. The earlier children with symptoms of ADHD are treated, the better their chances of having successful school experiences. Unfortunately, diagnosing ADHD during early childhood is difficult, in part because there is a lack of adequate assessment instruments designed for this age group. The instruments that are available generally do not focus specifically on ADHD symptomology. The ADHD-SRS, a rating scale specifically developed for ADHD assessment, was designed for school-age (K-12) children. The present research study investigated the psychometric properties of the ADHD-SRS with a preschool-aged sample. The participants were 414 preschool children who were rated by their teachers and/or parents using the ADHD-SRS. The results shed some light on normative levels of ADHD behaviors in preschool children. It was found that the ADHD-SRS has good psychometric characteristics (e.g., internal consistency, convergent/divergent validity) for this population. Teacher and parent concordance was moderate (.31), consistent with other research findings. Limitations, clinical implications, and directions for future research are addressed.

description: Zolotarev proved a duality result that relates stable densities with different indices. In this paper, we show how Zolotarev duality leads to some interesting results on fractional diffusion. Fractional diffusion equations employ fractional derivatives in place of the usual integer order derivatives. They govern scaling limits of random walk models, with power law jumps leading to fractional derivatives in space, and power law waiting times between the jumps leading to fractional derivatives in time. The limit process is a stable Lévy motion that models the jumps, subordinated to an inverse stable process that models the waiting times. Using duality, we relate the density of a spectrally negative stable process with index $1

description: The utility of subsurface temperatures as indicators of temperature changes at Earth's surface rests upon an assumption of strong coupling between surface air temperature (SAT) and ground surface temperature (GST). Here we describe a simple representation of this coupling in terms of a variable thermal diffusivity in the upper meter of the subsurface. The variability is tied to daily SAT, precipitation, and snow cover, but does not incorporate the physical details of these and the many other factors that influence the air-ground interface in many high-fidelity land-surface models. Our simple model reduces the difference between observed and modeled temperatures by a factor of 3 to 4 over a model with uniform diffusivity driven only by SAT. This simple representation of air-ground coupling offers a means of simulating subsurface temperatures using only archived meteorological records and creates the potential for examining the long term character of air-ground temperature coupling.
title: A Follow-Up Study of a Primary Prevention Program Targeting Childhood Depression

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Children have not historically been the subject of research focusing on internalizing disorders (i.e., childhood depression), even though childhood depression continues to be viewed as one of the most prevalent affective problem within this population. Over the past two decades, a small portion of that literature describes prevention efforts in public schools. There has been a growing body of literature centered on childhood depression. However, there are only three studies that report on longitudinal findings that have taken a primary prevention approach.
The present study was a follow-up investigation to delineate the effects of a school-based primary prevention program. The original study utilized a social/ interpersonal and cognitive-behavioral model incorporated into the health education curriculum of the school.
The results of the study suggest that the students continued to report normal to low levels of depressive symptoms at one-year follow-up . The results also suggest that students maintained the social skills gained during the intervention at the one-year followup. In addition, reports of depressive symptomatology slightly declined from posttest to one-year follow-up.

description: In quantum mechanics some properties are maximally incompatible, such as the position and momentum of a particle or the vertical and horizontal projections of a 2-level spin. Given any definite state of one property the other property is completely random, or unbiased. For N-level systems, the 6-level ones are the smallest for which a tomographically efficient set of N+1 mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) has not been found. To facilitate the search, we numerically extend the classification of unbiased bases, or Hadamards, by incrementally adjusting relative phases in a standard basis. We consider the non-unitarity caused by small adjustments with a second order Taylor expansion, and choose incremental steps within the 4-dimensional nullspace of the curvature. In this way we prescribe a numerical integration of a 4-parameter set of Hadamards of order 6.

“Ni de Aquí, Ni de Allá”: An Exploration of Voice, Visibility, And Latinx Communities on Reddit
Creators: name: Garcia, Melina Azucena
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Situated within a sociotechnical, critical race, and technoculture understanding, this thesis explores the extent to which Web 2.0 applications afford marginalized communities a voice. Specifically, this study conducted a case study on Reddit’s Latinx community to examine the extent to which it is able to establish, maintain, and promote its own networked public. As demonstrated by previous scholars, online collective identities materialize at the intersection of a platform’s architecture, affordances, and participatory culture. These collective identities are shaped by the white hegemonic norms that are enlaced and embedded in the internet’s materiality. Although shaped by white hegemonic norms, these identities are not fixed within whiteness. The history of race and ethnicity in online communities reveals that Web 2.0 applications afford users the ability to navigate a fluid relationship to whiteness. Therefore, racial and ethnic minorities are able to establish identities that are not within but in relation to whiteness. To understand the relation to whiteness that frames Reddit’s Latinx identity, this thesis applies networked gatekeeping as its main methodological framework and digital-race assemblages as its main analytical lens. This study finds that the prominent actors of Reddit’s Latinx identity navigate not only the white hegemonic norms that are embedded in the materiality of the digital sphere but also the norms that are popular on Reddit and those of the Latinx community. Ultimately, this thesis captures the liminal nature of Latinx identity, or as what Latinx people commonly express as “ni de aquí, ni de allá”.
The Vertical Distribution of Climate Forcings and Feedbacks from the Surface to Top of Atmosphere

Subjects: Atmosphere

description: The radiative forcings and feedbacks that determine Earth’s climate sensitivity are typically defined at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) or tropopause, yet climate sensitivity itself refers to a change in temperature at the surface. In this paper, we describe how TOA radiative perturbations translate into surface temperature changes. It is shown using first principles that radiation changes at the TOA can be equated with the change in energy stored by the oceans and land surface. This ocean and land heat uptake in turn involves an adjustment of the surface radiative and non-radiative energy fluxes, with the latter being comprised of the turbulent exchange of latent and sensible heat between the surface and atmosphere. We employ the radiative kernel technique to decompose TOA radiative feedbacks in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report climate models into components associated with changes in radiative heating of the atmosphere and of the surface. (We consider the equilibrium response of atmosphere-mixed layer ocean models subjected to an instantaneous doubling of atmospheric CO2). It is shown that most feedbacks, i.e., the temperature, water vapor and cloud feedbacks, (as well as CO2 forcing) affect primarily the turbulent energy exchange at the surface rather than the radiative energy exchange. Specifically, the temperature feedback increases the surface turbulent (radiative) energy loss by 2.87 W m−2 K−1 (0.60 W m−2 K−1) in the multimodel mean; the water vapor feedback decreases the surface turbulent energy loss by 1.07 W m−2 K−1 and increases the surface radiative heating by 0.89 W m−2 K−1; and the cloud feedback decreases both the turbulent energy loss and the radiative heating at the surface by 0.43 and 0.24 W m−2 K−1, respectively. Since changes to the surface turbulent energy exchange are dominated in the global mean sense by changes in surface evaporation, these results serve to highlight the fundamental importance of the global water cycle to Earth’s climate sensitivity.

description: A conjecture of Richter and Salazar about graphs that are critical for a fixed crossing number $k$ is that they have bounded bandwidth. A weaker well-known conjecture of Richter is that their maximum degree is bounded in terms of $k$. In this note we disprove these conjectures for every $k\ge 171$, by providing examples of $k$-crossing-critical graphs with arbitrarily large maximum degree.

description: Tremendous growth in the biomedical science workforce has increased the need for trained scientists. The current workforce is severely underrepresented by minority groups, particularly Native Americans. To address this issue, the federal government funded programs that encouraged Native American students to participate in undergraduate biomedical science courses and research. One such program, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is the Minority Student Development Program at Northern Arizona University. Little research has been done on educational programs for minority populations.
The purpose of this study was to identify and describe qualities and characteristics of the undergraduate research component of the federally funded Minority Student Development program from the perspective of Native American student participants. Qualitative case study methods were used to: (a) determine program qualities and characteristics, (b) develop a knowledge base about the experiences of Native American undergraduate student participants, ( c) identify career goals of students to determine if program participation influenced career choices, (d) understand the degree to which a student's cultural background influences career goals, and (e) evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Data were collected through interviews, observations, focus group discussions, informal discussions, questionnaire responses, meeting attendance, and document analysis. In all, 15 students, two program staff members, and eight faculty participated in the study.
Findings from this study include a description of the background and experiences of three subjects: Leroy, Samantha, and Jeremy. While the three were selected for their Native American ethnicity, differences were discovered in their cultural experiences. The three subjects were positive about their program experiences. Career goals of students were greatly influenced by program participation. Findings related to program qualities and characteristics were identified and found to be closely aligned with stated program goals. Suggestions for program improvement included: (a) formalizing the application process, (b) matching student researchers with faculty mentors based on common research interests and personality, (c) faculty mentors closely supervising students to provide support and encouragement, and (d) communicating program expectations for students regarding conference attendance, presenting, and publishing research results.

description: We investigate the ground-state properties of anyons confined in one-dimensional optical lattices with a weak harmonic trap using the exact numerical method based on Jordan-Wigner transformation. It is shown that in the Bose limit ($χ=1$) and Fermi limit ($χ=0$) the momentum distributions are symmetric but in between they are asymmetric. It turns out that the origin of asymmetry comes from the fractional statistics that anyons obey. The occupation distribution and the modulus of natural orbitals show crossover behaviours from the Bose limit to the Fermi limit.

description: The Discussion of Lucas and others underscores the potential usefulness of magnetostratigraphy for correlation between red beds of the broadly coeval Chinle Group of the western interior and the Newark Supergroup of eastern North America. Detailed magnetostratigraphic correlation between the Newark and the Chinle is very likely to change significantly, however, with the addition of new data from both of these units, and hence such an attempt as proposed in the Discussion may be premature.

title: Eating Disorder Risk Factors: A Prospective Analysis
Creators: name: Dobmeyer, Anne C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: The current study examined whether elevations on four variables (drive for thinness, depressed mood, maladaptive cognitions, and ineffectiveness) were related to increased risk of developing an eating disorder over a 4-year prospective interval. Subjects (N = 191) were female undergraduates who were assessed with the Anorexia-Bulimia Inventory (ABI), Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), and a structured clinical interview.
Results indicated that individuals with elevated scores on each of the four variables at the initial assessment did not show higher absolute eating disorder incidence rates over the 4-year interval. However, initial scores on the four variables together lll explained approximately 13% of both anorexia and bulimia symptom severity variance at the final assessment. Changes over time in the four variables were more highly related to later symptom severity, explaining 34% of the variance in anorexic severity and 16% in bulimic severity.
Thus, the findings suggest that initial scores, and especially changes in scores, on the four variables were related to severity of symptoms 4 years later. However, a large proportion of the variance in eating disorder severity remained unexplained. Examination of the role of each risk variable individually revealed that initial elevations on maladaptive cognitions and drive for thinness subscales were related to higher anorexic symptom severity at the later assessment. Of interest was the absence of significant relationships between early scores on maladaptive cognitions and drive for thinness and subsequent bulimic symptoms, suggesting that anorexia and bulimia may have somewhat different risk pathways.
The pretest scores on the depressed mood and ineffectiveness subscales were not significantly correlated with symptom severity at the later assessment, and were not identified by the regression analyses as parsimonious or efficient predictors of eating disorder symptoms. This finding suggests that perhaps early difficulties with depression and low self-esteem are less related to onset of later eating disorders than previously believed.
Finally, the overall 4-year incidence rate of .6% found in the current study suggests that as women move through their college years, they are departing the developmental period of high risk for onset of eating disorders, and thus, new cases become increasingly rare.
title: The Influence of Parental Attributions and Parenting Behaviors on the Attributions Utilized by Children With and Without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

description: Research suggests that the causal attributions utilized by children with attentiondeficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) differ from those of nonclinical children. Additionally, research indicates differences among the mothers of children with and without ADHD regarding parenting behaviors and attributions for child behavior. In this study, children' s attributions , maternal attributions , and maternal discipline styles were examined in ADHD and non-ADHD populations Participants included 26 children diagnosed with ADHD and their mothers as well as a nonclinical sample of 24 children who had never been diagnosed with ADHD and their mothers. The results support the hypotheses that child and maternal attributions would differ between these two groups. The hypothesis that discipline styles would differ between the two groups was not supported Results suggest that while maternal discipline styles are correlated with children's attributions, the nature of this association differs within AD.HD versus nonADHD populations.

description: Заболевания периферической нервной системы (ПНС) является одной из самых распространенных патологий в мире. Поражения периферических нервов составляет 8-10 % от общей патологии, согласно данным ВОЗ, около 50 % заболеваний нервной системы. Такая частота обусловлена тем, что структуры, которые входят в состав периферической нервной системы, имеют значительную протяженность, обычно незащищенные костными структурами и подлежат частой травматизации. А отсутствие гематоневрального барьера открывает путь для различных токсических и инфекционных агентов. Значительная часть поражений периферических нервов вызвана патологией позвоночника и межпозвонковых дисков. А тенденции современного мира с его тотальной компьютеризацией, относительно резким переходом от физического труда к умственной будут только способствовать развитию этой патологии. Повальная гиподинамия населения, отсутствие адекватной физической нагрузки и сидячая работа приводят к снижению тонуса мышц, нарушения стереотипа движений и функциональной деформации позвоночника, потому что около 80 % времени позвоночник пребывает в вынужденном полусогнутом положении в большинстве работников.
