description: Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are relativistic cosmological beacons of transient high energy radiation whose afterglows span the electromagnetic spectrum. Theoretical expectations of correlated neutrino emission position GRBs at an astrophysical nexus for a metamorphosis in our understanding of the Cosmos. This new dawn in the era of experimental (particle) astrophysics and cosmology is afforded by current facilities enabling the novel astronomy of high energy neutrinos, in concert with unprecedented electromagnetic coverage. In that regard, GRBs represent a compelling scientific theme that may facilitate fundamental breakthroughs in the context of Swift, Fermi and IceCube. Scientific synergy will be achieved by leveraging the combined sensitivity of contemporaneous ground-based and satellite observatories, thus optimizing their collective discovery potential. Hence, the advent of GRB multi-messenger astronomy may cement an explicit connection to fundamental physics, via nascent cosmic windows, throughout the next decade.

title: Ego Strengthening Hypnotic Suggestions Versus Specific Hypnotic Suggestions in the Treatment of Obesity
Creators: name: Hutchison, Richard A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1981

description: A comparison was made of two types of hypnotic suggestions. Twenty seven subjects in two groups participated in eight weekly one-hour group hypnotic sessions. All subjects were given the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, and were weighed pre, post and at four month follow-up. Both types of hypnotic suggestions were equally effective in helping individuals lose weight. The average weight loss was 10 pounds at follow up. Both groups showed improvement on the personality tests. Those who received the ego-strengthening hypnotic suggestions showed more improvement and more long lasting improvement than did those who received the specific hypnotic suggestions.
title: The Influence of Wind Energy Development on Columbian Sharp-tailed Grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus columbianus) Breeding Season Ecology in Eastern Idaho
Creators: name: Proett, Matthew C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: The Columbian sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus columbianus; CSTG) has experienced range-wide population declines, primarily as a result of habitat loss or degradation, and currently occupies30% forb cover at the nesting core use (60 ha) scale. Daily nest survival was positively associated with visual obstruction readings at the nest and the amount of restored grassland habitat containing >30% forb cover at the core use (60 ha) scale. Nest site selection and daily nest survival were not influenced by proximity to turbines or turbine density at the core use or breeding season home range (1385 ha) scales. Early (14-day) brood success was positively influenced by post-hatch precipitation and late (42-day) brood success was positively influenced by earlier hatch dates. Chick survival to 42 days post hatch was positively influenced by post-hatch precipitation and earlier hatch dates and negatively influenced by increasing densities of wind turbines at the breeding season home range scale. The probability of an individual chick surviving to 42 days decreased by 50% when there were ≥10 turbines within 2.1 km of the nest. In restored grassland habitats, such as Conservation Reserve Program fields, I recommend plantings and management practices that will result in diverse, bunchgrass-dominated nesting habitat with residual grass cover and >30% forb canopy cover during the nesting season. My results suggest that wind turbines occurring within 2.1 km of nesting habitats (i.e., 4.8 km of occupied leks) may negatively affect CSTG recruitment.
title: Examining Effects of Technology Level and Reinforcer Arrangements on Preference and Efficacy
Creators: name: Hoffman, Audrey N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Understanding dimensions that influence reinforcement is important for applied behavior analysts. Preference, and reinforcer effectiveness, may change depending upon several dimensions of reinforcement. Two influential dimensions that may influence preference and reinforcer efficacy are response-reinforcer arrangements and stimulus type. Many leisure items used as reinforcers may be classified depending upon technology level (e.g., highly technological items versus non-technological items). In recent years use of highly technological items has increased among individuals with disabilities. When using high- and low-tech reinforcers, reinforcer deliveries may be arranged to occur in a distributed manner (i.e., every response results in a reinforcer delivery), or an accumulated manner (i.e., reinforcers are accumulated and exchanged following completion of all the work). The purpose of this study was to examine the interaction and effects of reinforcer arrangements (i.e., distributed reinforcement and accumulated reinforcement) and technology level of items (i.e., high-tech and low-tech) on preference and reinforcer efficacy with three children with autism. Results demonstrated higher response rates and preference toward accumulated reinforcer arrangements compared to distributed reinforcer arrangements regardless of technology level. Overall, participants’ responding and preference were sensitive to different reinforcer arrangements but were less sensitive to differences in the technology level of the reinforcers used.

description: Part I, describes an efficient four step method to effect an unsymmetric ring cleavage between carbons 2 and 3 in the A ring of 17β-acetoxy-5β-androstan-3-one (81b). Bromination of 81b followed by treatment with sodium acetate in refluxing acetic acid gave 2β,17β-diacetoxy-5β-androstan-3-one (159) in good yield. Subjecting 159 to hydroxylamine hydrochloride-sodium acetate in refluxing methanol afforded anti 17β-acetoxy-2β-hydroxy-58-androstan-3-one oxime (187) in 75-85% crude yield. Beckmann fragmentation of 187 by employing thionyl chloride furnished 17β-acetoxy-2-oxo-2,3-seco-5β-androstane-3-nitrile (195) in over 80% purified yield. Mechanistic studies on the formation of 159 from 17β-acetoxy-4β-bromo-5β-androstan-3-one (158) indicated that neither 4β,17β-diacetoxy-5β-androstan-3-one (175a) or 43,178-diacetoxy-58-androstan-3-one (175b) can be intermediates and that the intermediate isolated by Satoh and Takahashi must be 2α-acetoxy-5 β -cholestan-3-one (174). Part II, describes attempts to elaborate 195 to the 17B-hydroxy isomer of samandarine 47b. Treatment of 195 with refluxing isopropenyl acetate in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid yielded a mixture of cis and trans 2,17β-diacetoxy-2,3-seco-5β-androst-l-ene-3-nitrile (223a) and (223b) in 62-58% purified yield. Ozonization of this mixture followed by reduction gave 17β-acetoxy-l-oxo-2,3-seco-A-nor-5β-androstane-3-nitril (262) in 86% yield. A Wittig reaction on 262 with subsequent acetyla tion afforded 17β-acetoxy-2,3-seco-5β-androst-l-ene-3-nitrile (57a) in ca. 65% purified yield. Attempts to construct 47b from 57a proved unrewarding. However, most recently, Shimizu has converted 57a to 47b in three steps.
title: Ego Identity Status and Conformity
Creators: name: Hoffman, Joseph J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: The relationship between the Eriksonian concept of ego identity status and the social process of conformity was investigated. Ego identity status was measured by the Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (OM-EIS) (Adams, Shea, and Fitch, 1979). A total of 87 subjects were categorized into one of the four ego identity status groups: Diffusion, Foreclosure, Moratorium, and Identity Achievement. Conformity was measured by peer ratings, and experimental task, and by three self-report personality measures. Two of the conformity measures supported the main hypothesis that those in the less mature ego identity statuses (Diffusion and Foreclosure) would demonstrate the most conformity behavior. More specifically, peers rated males in the Diffusion and Foreclosure statuses as more conforming, and wales and females in the Diffusion status rated themselves as more conforming on a peer pressure conformity self-report. In light of these results, the relationship between conformity and ego identity status is discussed.

title: The Use of Sensory Predicates to Predict Responses to Sensory Suggestions
Creators: name: Talone, James M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: A scale consisting of eight suggestions worded with specific sensory predicates was administered to a large undergraduate introductory psychology class. Following the presentation of the suggestions, Self-Scoring Forms were filled out to assess the subjects' response to auditory (A), visual (V), and kinesthetic (K) suggestions. prior to the conclusion of the session, subjects were asked to write a brief essay describing their experience of the suggestion portion of the session. Subject essays were content analyzed for the use of predicates (including, but not only A, V, and K). Frequency of usage of A, V, and K predicates were compared with responses to A, V, and K suggestions to determine the amount of consistency between preference for the use of a specific category of sensory predicates and responsiveness suggestions worded in similar language. No significant correlations between the use of specific sensory predicates and response to specific sensory suggestions were found.

title: A Mass Media Campaign to Promote Divorce Adjustment
Creators: name: Gardiner, James C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: Introduction. This study produced and evaluated a mass media campaign designed to promote emotional adjustment to divorce.
Hypotheses. (a) Sending a promotional newsletter to divorced persons will increase their reported utilization of the campaign. (b) Divorced persons who report heavy utilization of the campaign will report greater emotional improvement than divorced persons who report light or no utilization of the campaign.
Method. A field experiment was conducted in rural northern Utah. The names of all recently (less than 12 months) divorced persons were obtained from the county clerk and randomly divided into an experimental group, who received a newsletter promoting the media campaign, and a control group. The five-week media campaign included 10 radio shows, 16 newspaper articles, and 29 television shows. After the campaign, 101 subjects were interviewed regarding their media use. They also completed a posttest and retrospective pretest of anxiety, depression, hostility (measured by the Symptom Check List 90-R), and attachment.
Results. The campaign was reportedly used by 77.2% of the subjects. Hypothesis 1 was weakly supported. Subjects who received the newsletter reported using statistically significantly more media events (X = 4.95) than subjects who did not receive the newsletter (X = 3.12). However, the percentage of variance in media use associated with newsletter receipt was only 3.2%. Hypothesis 2 was partially supported. Heavy campaign users (3+ events) reported statistically significantly greater improvements in anxiety, depression, and hostility (but not attachment) than light users (0-2 events). The percentage of variance in emotional improvements associated with media use ranged from 1 to 5%. Those who reportedly spent time with significant others after the divorce reported significantly greater emotional improvements than those who did not spend time with others. The highest degree of reported emotional improvement was reported by those who reported both heavy media use and time spent with significant others, while the lowest degree of emotional improvement was reported by subjects who reported little or no media use and no time spent with confidants.

title: Word Associations and the Bilateral Electrodermal Responses of High and Low Repressive Females as Measured by the MMPI R Factor Scale
Creators: name: Poe, Peggy J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: On the basis of the MMPI R Factor Scale, 16 subjects were classified as high repressed and 14 as low repressed. Subjects were compared on patterns of bilateral differences in skin conductance as a function of three cognitive tasks intended to produce specific manipulations in the relative activation of the two cerebral hemispheres. Tasks 1 and 2 examined the effects of Verbal (left hemisphere) and Spatial (right hemisphere) tasks on amplitudes of electrodermal responses. Task 3 examined the effects of the presentation of double-entendre and asexual stimulus words (designed to produce an emotional stimulus) on the high and low repressed groups. Results showed no tasks were accompanied by significant bilateral differences in electrodermal activity although high repressed subjects showed a consistent tendency toward greater amplitudes in both hands to the sexual portion of the word task. These findings are in direct contradiction to research suggesting that hemisphere activation is task dependent, but support the theoretical postulation of ''hemisphericity" (the individual preference for the use of one hemisphere or the other). Subsequent to the tasks, each subject completed a Sexual Activity Questionnaire to determine categories of orgasmic or non-orgasmic. These data proved to be highly related to the personality variables of high and low repression. All subjects self-reported to be orgasmic (n = 3) scored in the low repressed group. Of 16 subjects self-reported to be non-orgasmic, 11 (69%) scored in the high repressed group. These findings argue strongly that sexual conflicts in high repressors leads to psychosomatic sexual dysfunctions as postulated by traditional psychoanalytic theory. Present findings were discussed in terms of the relationships between personality, repression, and sexual conflict and how these .variables influence electrodermal functioning. Implications for future research and theoretical complexities in the interpretation of the present results suggesting support for the "hemisphericity" postulation were also discussed.

description: Graphene modifications with oxygen or hydrogen are well known in contrast to carbon attachment to the graphene lattice. The chemical modification of graphene sheets with aromatic diazonium ions (carbon attachment) is analyzed by confocal Raman spectroscopy. The temporal and spatial evolution of surface adsorbed species allowed accurate tracking of the chemical reaction and identification of intermediates. The controlled transformation of sp2 to sp3 carbon proceeds in two separate steps. The presented derivatization is selective for single layer graphene and allows controlled transformation of adsorbed diazonium reagents into covalently bound surface derivatives with enhanced reactivity at the edge of single layer graphene. On bi-layer graphene the derivatization proceeds to an adsorbed intermediate without further reaction to form a covalent attachment on the carbon surface.

title: The Prediction of Tenure and Job Performance based on the Job Activity Preference Questionnaire (JAPQ): A Concurrent Study
Creators: name: Roberts, Nolan R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of the JAPQ in predicting the work output and tenure levels of persons employed in the occupation of Data Entry Operator-Financial Keyer. Three separate hypotheses were tested: (1) JAPQ-D2 differences based on employee tenure and output loads; (2) JAPQ dimension preference differences, which may not be reflected in JAPQ-D2 scores; and, (3) the relationship between employee tenure and employee output. Separate research questions focused on the applicability of the JAPQ in predicting employee tenure and employee output, based on multiple regression results.
Sixty financial keyers were administered the JAPQ for comparison against a concurrent PAQ job analysis. For hypothesis testing, the subjects were separated into four groups according to tenure or output. No differences were found in the overall JAPQ-D2 score, comparing "high" (D2 = 6.53) vs. "low" (D2 = 6.60) output keyers and "long" (JAPQ-D2 = 6.26) vs. "short" (D2 = 7.16) tenured keyers. The keyer dimension profiles were highly similar, as indicated by positive correlations in the ranking of JAPQ dimension preferences for "high" vs. "low" output keyers (rho = .962; p ≥ .001) and for "long" vs. "short" tenured keyers (rho = .979; p ≥ .001).
No relationship was found between keyer tenure and keyer output (r = .088; df = 58). When viewing the data incorporated in this area, two employees with extensive tenure and below average output appeared to have skewed the data. The data for these two employees was deleted and a second correlation was completed, resulting in a positive relationship between keyer tenure and keyer output (r = .426; df = 56; p < .01).
Multiple regressions of JAPQ dimensions indicated promising predictability for "high output" keyers (adjusted R = .335; p ≥ .01) and for "long tenured" keyers (adjusted R = .433; ≥ .001).
All results were discussed in respect to use of the JAPQ as an instrument for use in the personnel office. Recommendations for similar research is also mentioned.
title: Effects of Intermittent Reinforcement Upon Fixed-Ratio Discrimination
Creators: name: Lydersen, Tore
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: Four pigeons had discrimination training that required the choice of a left side-key following completion of a fixed-ratio 10 an the center key, and a right side-key response after fixed-ratio 20. Correct choices were reinforced on various fixed-interval, fixed-ratio, random-interval, and random-ratio schedules. When accuracy was examined across quarters of intervals (fixed-interval schedules) or quarters of median interreinforcerrent intervals (fixed-ratio schedules), accuracy was usually laver in the second quarter than in the first, third, or fourth quarters. When accuracy was examined across quarters of ratios (fixed-ratio schedules) or quarters of median number of correct interreinforcement trials (fixed-interval schedules), accuracy increased across quarters. These accuracy patterns did not occur m random-interval or random-ratio schedules. The results indicate that, when choice patterns differed on fixed-interval and fixed-ratio schedules, these differences were due to the methods of data analyses.

When husbands were transported their wives and children became a burden on the Parish to which they belonged. As the funds for Poor relief were acquired from the Poor rate, levied on the local landowners, these gentlemen supported the scheme to provide passages for the families to follow their husbands and fathers. There were other ways in which this could be achieved - the families could be sent as fare paying emigrants, some managed to go as Government sponsored emigrants and a few worked their way out. The scheme was a well regulated plan to provide for family reunion at the expense of the British Government as an indulgence to well-behaved, established convicts who were able to support their families. In the early days of transportation many wives were allowed to accompany their husbands ta New South Wales (which included Van Diemen's Land). This practice created problems and was discontinued in the early 1800's. In 1812 the Select Committee on Transportation found that the proposed system of placing female convicts in a Penitentiary on their arrival would diminish the available supply of women and thought this \an additional reason for affording increased facilities to the wives of male convicts who may wish to accompany or follow their husbands to New South Wales.\" ( 1) It was considered to be an acceptable way of providing the Colony with more women. although Earl Bathurst expressed concern that the arrival of possibly dependent women would be an additional expense to the Colony. It was expected that these women \" being of good character and industrious\" (2) would be able to support themselves. In 1814 Governor Macquarie reported that a large number of wives were receiving support at great cost to the Government. (3) He recommended that wives should not be allowed to join their husbands unless the men could give proof of their ability to support them. In 1816 it was decided that appropriate Returns of Requests from convicts should be transmitted to the Home Government."

description: As a lead contributor to the OECD's Building Digital Workforce Capacity and Skills for Data-Intensive Science (2020) report, Dr Michelle Barker outlines in this presentation the goal of the report, i.e. to make recommendations to policy makers on how to facilitate the digital workforce capacity needed for data-intensive science, based on analysis of best practice. The presentation highlights: - Digital workforce capacity and COVID19: the importance of digital skills, the need for shared access to open data, software and code, and the shortfall in skills to enable a comprehensive response to such emergencies - The ongoing need for a digital skilled workforce for data-intensive science - Five focus areas in the report include: 1. Enablers for digital workforce capacity development 2. Defining needs: digital skills, frameworks and roles 3. Provision of training 4. Community development 5. Career paths and reward structures - Recommendations for actors incl. universities, national or regional governments
title: Predicting Length of Stay and Outcome in Long-Term Residential Treatment of Male Alcoholics
Creators: name: Wadsworth, Robert Dombey
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: The purposes of this study were: (1) to determine which characteristics of male alcoholics are related to treatment success and length of stay in long-term treatment, and (2) to assess the efficacy of predicting outcome and length of stay on the basis of patient characteristics, The study was performed post hoc on 265 patients discharged from a 6- to 12-month residential alcoholism program on the grounds of a state hospital. After an extensive literature review, 19 predictor variables were selected which were most consistently related to outcome and length of stay in previous studies of shorter rehabilitation programs. Data for predictor variables were obtained from psychological testing, admission interview notes, anamneses, and symptom ratings, Treatment outcome at 6-month follow-up was assessed dichotomously (success - failure) and numerically (number of abstinence and social adjustment criteria met) based on questionnaire responses and second-hand information. Sample size varied across analyses, as cases were deleted for missing data.
Compared to patients who failed to benefit, treatment successes were less antisocial (p < .01) and reported fewer alcoholic withdrawal symptoms (p < .05, n = 131). The results also suggest that successes were less angry than failures (this variable reached significance in the analyses which were given the most consideration, and showed consistent trends in other analyses). Patient characteristics unrelated to treatment outcome were age, socioeconomic status, social stability, number of arrests, age at onset of drinking problem, problematic drinking by patients' parents, length of longest previous period of sobriety, number of previous alcoholism treatments, previous regular A.A. attendance, overall mental health, neuroticism, depression, obsessive compulsive traits, latent schizophrenia, IQ, and defensiveness. A four-variable discriminant function produced 70.23% correct classification of outcome (r = .34, p < .01, n = 131), but the 33.3% false negative rate raises a question about using the function as an acceptance criterion. The pattern of results implies that the longterm program fosters social integration, but does not overcome the effects of severe personality disorders or physical addictions.
Only IQ was related to length of stay, with more intelligent subjects remaining in treatment longer (p < .05, n = 233). Weak but statistically significant prediction of length of stay was obtained with a nine-variable regression equation (r = .34, p < .01, n = 199).

description: Over the past year, a group of Carpentries instructors have been working on an open source textbook called Research Software Engineering with Python. The book is a ready-to-go university semester course aimed at helping learners go from writing code for themselves, to creating tools that help their entire field advance. A physical version of the book will be published with Taylor & Francis in early 2021. During the review phase of the publication process, we are seeking feedback on the content and scope of the book from the digital skills training community.
title: Feminine Development: The Relationship Between Identity Status, Personality and Social Influence Style
Creators: name: Read, Doris Anne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: The purposes of the present research were to investigate the potential relationships between ego identity development, personality characteristics and social influence styles in college women. It was hypothesized that advanced identity development would be associated with more complex personality functioning and effective social influence behavior. Research subjects were classified according to identity status using The Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status. They responded to the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Styleand engaged in a social influence task with a male or female confederate. The advanced statuses generally demonstrated more complex social-cognitive styles that allowed them to both process large amounts of stimulus information and maintain periods of private reflection of their thoughts and feelings. Conversely, the foreclosure women reported a cognitive style characterized by reduced attentional focus. In their social influence behavior, the advanced statuses employed more direct strategies and a wider repertoire of influence skills. When paired with a male confederate, the use of feminine sex-role stereotypic behavior, such as self-abasement, pleading and whining, increased with advanced identity status. The lower statuses utilized less desirable influence styles that were both placating and authoritarian. No relationship between personality characteristics and social influence style was observed in the present investigation. These findings provide tentative evidence for the relationship between advanced identity development and more complex cognitive and interpersonal styles. The potential effects of sex-role expectations in male-female influence situations were also explored.
Scale invariant thermodynamics of a toroidally trapped Bose gas

description: We consider a system of bosonic atoms in an axially symmetric harmonic trap augmented with a two dimensional repulsive Gaussian optical potential. We find an expression for the grand free energy of the system for configurations ranging from the harmonic trap to the toroidal regime. For large tori we identify an accessible regime where the ideal gas thermodynamics of the system are found to be independent of toroidal radius. This property is a consequence of an invariant extensive volume of the system that we identify analytically in the regime where the toroidal potential is radially harmonic. In considering corrections to the scale invariant transition temperature, we find that the first order interaction shift is the dominant effect in the thermodynamic limit, and is also scale invariant. We also consider adiabatic loading from the harmonic to toroidal trap configuration, which we show to have only a small effect on the condensate fraction of the ideal gas, indicating that loading into the scale invariant regime may be experimentally practical.
