Evaluation of the effects of Bilingual instruction on the acquisition of English in young East Indian children
Creators: name: Moody, Janet Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This is an evaluation of the second year of a special three year program to assist immigrant children from the Punjab. It describes a homogeneous class of 20 children, all East Indian, ranging in age from 5 to 8. The teacher was also East Indian and was free to use Punjabi whenever she felt a child did not comprehend in English. The language development and self-concept development of children in this class was compared with that of East Indian pupils in regular classes. Classroom programming was documented and records were kept by the teacher of the progress made by each child throughout the year. A video-tape was made of the class at the beginning and end of the year. A reading assessment was also conducted on children who were in the experimental class during 1972 -1973, and who were subsequently moved to a regular class the following year. Only 10 of the original 20 children were still in the experimental class at the end of the year. In language acquisition the experimental group did make substantial gains as compared to the control group over the year, but on only one test were the results statistically significant. In the area of self-concept, the experimental group did show a statistically significant difference on one of the two tests given. Results of the reading tests showed some indication that the experimental group were not functioning as well as the control group. Further testing also provided information on the auditory discrimination and articulation difficulties of these children. . Fluency in their own language (Punjabi) was investigated. It was held that the program was successful and that it should be continued with modifications.

description: Over the course of two flights, the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) made resolved maps of seven nearby (<25 Mpc) galaxies at 250, 350, and 500 microns. During its June 2005 flight from Sweden, BLAST observed a single nearby galaxy, NGC 4565. During the December 2006 flight from Antarctica, BLAST observed the nearby galaxies NGC 1097, NGC 1291, NGC 1365, NGC 1512, NGC 1566, and NGC 1808. We fit physical dust models to a combination of BLAST observations and other available data for the galaxies observed by Spitzer. We fit a modified blackbody to the remaining galaxies to obtain total dust mass and mean dust temperature. For the four galaxies with Spitzer data, we also produce maps and radial profiles of dust column density and temperature. We measure the fraction of BLAST detected flux originating from the central cores of these galaxies and use this to calculate a "core fraction," an upper limit on the "AGN fraction" of these galaxies. We also find our resolved observations of these galaxies give a dust mass estimate 5-19 times larger than an unresolved observations would predict. Finally, we are able to use these data to derive a value for the dust mass absorption co-efficient of kappa = 0.29 +/-0.03 m^2 kg^-1 at 250 microns. This study is an introduction to future higher-resolution and higher-sensitivity studies to be conducted by Herschel and SCUBA-II.

title: Structural Analysis of the Mitten Park Reverse Fault and Related Deformation in Dinosaur National Monument, Northwestern Colorado and Northeastern Utah
Creators: name: Brown, Clint M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: An integrated field and structural analysis of the Mitten Park fault-fold structure, northwestern Colorado and northeastern Utah, examines its structural origin. The Mitten Park structure is a modified fault-propagation-fold. This new model incorporates faulting, folding, and fracturing in one deformational event to produce the Mitten Park fault and associated monocline.
The largest structure in the study area is the Mitten Park fault and associated monocline. The Mitten Park fault has approximately 127 meters (415 feet) of net slip, strikes S28°W and dips 55°WNW. In the footwall, net shortening was accommodated by reverse and normal faulting. Faulting was the result of northwest-southeast directed shortening. Reverse faulting accommodated the majority of the fault-related strain along the fault's trace and resulted in net shortening. However, normal faults in the overturned limb of the footwall of the Mitten Park fault also accommodated northwest-southeast directed shortening.
Folds in the study area are asymmetrical and statistically cylindrical in both the footwall and the hanging wall. Folding facilitates northwest-southeast directed shortening. There is a direct correlation between changes in the strike and dip of the fault plane and changes in the trend and plunge of fold axis in the footwall.
Fracture orientations show no significant variation in geometry from hanging wall to footwall. Fracture intensity increases with proximity to the Mitten Park fault.
Balanced cross sections of the Mitten Park area use a modified fault-propagation- fold model and are also constrained by field observations and interlimb angles of folds. Total shortening in the study area is 13.5% and was accommodated by the hanging wall, the footwall, and the Mitten Park fault. The hanging wall accommodated 70.8% of total shortening, the footwall accommodated 14.9% of total shortening, and the Mitten Park fault accommodated 14.3% of total shortening. The significant amount of strain in the footwall of the fault is different from classical models of fault-propagation-folds, which depict a rigid undeformed footwall.

description: Through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project we discovered a late-type L dwarf co-moving with the young K0 star BD+60 1417 at a projected separation of 37" or 1662 AU. The secondary - CWISER J124332.12+600126.2 (W1243) - is detected in both the CatWISE2020 and 2MASS reject tables. The photometric distance and CatWISE proper motion both match that of the primary within ~1sigma and our estimates for chance alignment yield a zero probability. Follow-up near infrared spectroscopy reveals W1243 to be a very red 2MASS color(J-Ks=2.72), low-surface gravity source that we classify as L6 - L8gamma. Its spectral morphology strongly resembles that of confirmed late-type L dwarfs in 10 - 150 Myr moving groups as well as that of planetary mass companions. The position on near- and mid-infrared color-magnitude diagrams indicates the source is redder and fainter than the field sequence, a telltale sign of an object with thick clouds and a complex atmosphere. For the primary we obtained new optical spectroscopy and analyzed all available literature information for youth indicators. We conclude that the Li I abundance, its loci on color-magnitude and color-color diagrams, and the rotation rate revealed in multiple TESS sectors are all consistent with an age of 50 - 150 Myr. Using our re-evaluated age of the primary, the Gaia parallax along with the photometry and spectrum for W1243 we find a Teff=1303+/-31 K, logg=4.3+/-0.17 cm s-2, and a mass of 15+/-5 MJup. We find a physical separation of ~1662 AU and a mass ratio of ~0.01 for this system. Placing it in context with the diverse collection of binary stars, brown dwarf and planetary companions, the BD+60 1417 system falls in a sparsely sampled area where the formation pathway is difficult to assess.

description: We observed the northern rim of the Cygnus Loop with the \textit{Suzaku} observatory in 5 pointings (P21-P25). From the spatially resolved analysis, all the spectra are well fitted by the single component of the non-equilibrium ionization plasma model. From the best-fit parameters, we found that the abundances of the heavy elements are significantly lower than the solar values except those at the outermost edge in P21 and P22. The origin of the depleted metal abundances is still unclear while such deficiencies have been reported from many other rim observations of the Loop. To explain these depletion at the rim regions, we considered the several possibilities. The effects of the resonance-line-scattering and the grain condensation lower the values of the abundances. However, these are not sufficient to account for the abundance depletion observed. We found that the abundances at the outermost edge in P21 and P22 are higher than those at the other regions. From the morphological point of view, it is reasonable to consider that this abundance inhomogeneity is derived from the breakout or the thinness of the cavity wall of the Loop.

title: Hydrochemical Definition of Ground Water and Surface Water, with an Emphasis on the Origin of the Ground-Water Salinity in Southern Juab Valley, Juab County, Utah
Creators: name: Hadley, Heidi K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: As part of a U.S. Geological Survey study in Juab Valley in central Utah from 1991 to 1994, the chemistry of ground - and surface -water samples was determined. Total dissolved solids in the ground water of southern Juab Valley have historically been higher , in general, than ground water in other areas of Utah . Total dissolved solids for ground-water samples from this study ranged from 623 to 3,980 milligrams/liter. High-sulfate chemical data of previous studies suggested that the major source of ground-water salinity is the dissolution of gypsum (hydrous calcium sulfate ) from the Arapien Shale. Sulfur-34 to sulfur- 32 isotopic ratio data have confirmed that dissolved Arapien Shale is the major source of salinity in southern Juab Valley water.
This thesis study of southern Juab Valley had four main objectives: 1) define the present chemistry of the ground and surface water; 2) qualitatively determine the mineralogy of the Middle Jurassic Arapien Shale; 3) determine the major sources of salinity; and 4) determine the main flow path in the ground-water system. Chemical data show that the water in southern Juab Valley is predominantly of a calcium-magnesium-sulfate-bicarbonate composition. X-ray diffraction determined the mineralogy of the Arapien Shale as primarily calcite and quartz. Mineralogy of the acid-insoluble residue is illite, chlorite, quartz, and a trace of feldspar. Based on chemical, isotopic, and simple salt weight percent data, dissolution of gypsum is the major source of salinity in southern Juab Valley water. Using the chemical and isotopic data as input , a mass balance computer software program (NETPATH) helped to determine that the gypsum is derived from the Arapien Shale . NETPATH and the potentiometric surface map helped to define the main ground-water flow path as southwest across southern Juab Valley, from Chicken Creek in the San Pitch Mountains on the east side of the valley toward Chick Creek Reservoir in the southwest part of the valley.
title: Geochemical, Petrologic, and Structural Characterization at Multiple Scales of Deformation Associated with the Punchbowl Fault, Southern California
Creators: name: Schulz, Steven E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: Three traverses across the exhumed trace of the Punchbowl fault zone in the 11 Pelona Schist, southern California, were examined at the millimeter to kilometer scales to determine the morphology, deformation mechanisms, and geochemistry of the fault zone in schistose rocks. The Pelona Schist is predominantly a quartz-albite-muscovite-actinolite schist with associated minor metabasalts. The Punchbowl fault zone, which is exhumed 2-4 km, has 44 km of right lateral slip, and is composed of a fault core enveloped by a damaged zone.
The fault core is a region of extreme slip localization that records most fault displacement. Deformation in the fault core is dominated by grain-size reduction accompanied by fluid-dominated alteration, in contrast to the damage zone, where deformation is dominated by brittle and semi-brittle fracturing, cataclasis, and slip. Portions of the Punchbowl fault have multiple fault cores, with each fault core less than 10 cm thick. The thickness of a fault depends upon the type of deformation measured and the scale of observation. Mesoscopic fractures begin 50 m from the fault core, whereas the onset of fault-related microfractures occurs at approximately 40 m from the fault core . A geochemical signature based on whole-rock geochemistry suggests a fault thickness of less than 10 m. Grain-size reduction occurs over a 10 m thick region and mineralogic changes occur over a region 20-30 m thick. Reorientation of preexisting foliation occurs over a zone 30 m thick.
Fault-core morphology and textures are similar to those in the Punchbowl fault to the northwest, where it displaces sedimentary rocks, and the San Gabriel fault, which formed in crystalline rocks. This suggests that the processes that form foliated, finegrained, cataclasite-dominated fault cores of large displacement faults are similar for diverse lithologies. The composition of the fault core is variable along strike, with little geochemical or mineralogical homogenization. Whereas processes that form fault cores are similar, localized interaction of fluids caused compositional variability within the core. Changes in fault composition and fluid-rock interactions may result in different fault properties and behaviors.
title: Developing a General Methodology for Evaluating Composite Action in Insulated Wall Panels

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Thermal efficiency of Precast Concrete Sandwich Panel Walls has become a major topic when discussing the building envelope in academia. At Utah State University, research is being done to evaluate the structural and thermal efficiency of fiber reinforced polymer connectors being used today. In evaluating several different proprietary fiber reinforced polymer systems, researchers plan to develop design procedures to help engineers accurately determine minimum design requirements when using fiber reinforced polymer connectors. This largely requires a determination of the degree of composite action incurred by each system. Testing is performed by constructing small scale specimens (3 ft. by 4 ft., 0.91 m by 1.22 m). Each specimen contains one of the fiber reinforced polymer connecting systems. By constructing a five-wythe, two wall specimen, direct shear can be applied to the connectors using a push-off shear test method. By performing this test it can be determined to what degree the panel is acting compositely. Once the degree of composite action is determined, correlation can be made between design and degree of composite action. Economizing and simplifying this procedure is key to further implementation of precast concrete sandwich panel walls in all areas of our building infrastructure.

description: We identify 806 ultra-cool dwarfs from their SDSS riz photometry (of which 34 are newly discovered L dwarfs) and obtain proper motions through cross matching with UKIDSS and 2MASS. Proper motion and distance constraints show that nine of our ultra-cool dwarfs are members of widely separated binary systems; SDSS 0101 (K5V+M9.5V), SDSS 0207 (M1.5V+L3V), SDSS 0832 (K3III+L3.5V), SDSS 0858 (M4V+L0V), SDSS 0953 (M4V+M9.5V), SDSS 0956 (M2V+M9V), SDSS 1304 (M4.5V+L0V), SDSS 1631 (M5.5V+M8V), SDSS 1638 (M4V+L0V). One of these (SDSS 0832) is shown to be a companion to the bright K3 giant Eta Cancri. Such primaries can provide age and metallicity constraints for any companion objects, yielding excellent benchmark objects. Eta Cancri AB is the first wide ultra-cool dwarf + giant binary system identified. We present new observations and analysis that constrain the metallicity of Eta Cancri A to be near solar, and use recent evolutionary models to constrain the age of the giant to be 2.2-6.1 Gyr. If Eta Cancri B is a single object, we estimate its physical attributes to be; mass = 63-82 M_Jup, T_eff = 1800+/-150 K, log g = 5.3-5.5, [M/H] = 0.0+/-0.1. Its colours are non typical when compared to other ultra-cool dwarfs, and we also assess the possibility that Eta Cancri B is itself an unresolved binary, showing that the combined light of an L4 + T4 system could provide a reasonable explanation for its colours.

description: Topological spin superconductors are $p$-wave spin-triplet exciton insulators whose topological edge modes have been shown to obey non-Abelian braiding statistics. Based on a toy model as the spin counterpart of the Kitaev's chain, we study the spin Josephson effect adopting the $S$-matrix as well as the Green's function method. The on-site energies of these topological edge modes lead to a transition between the fractional and integer spin Josephson effects. Moreover, non-vanishing on-site energies will also induce a charge pump through the spin Josephson junction. These two effects, distinct features of topological spin superconductors and absent in Majorana systems, can be utilized for spin transport detection of topological spin superconductors.

title: Analysis of Angles-Only Hybrid Space-Based/Ground-Based Approach for Geosynchronous Orbit Catalog Maintenance
Creators: name: Andrews, Blythe A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) is critical to Earth communications, weather monitoring, and national defense. Orbit estimation of GEO objects is difficult due to physical constraints placed on ground-based tracking devices such as weather, object range, and tracking frequency restrictions. These constraints are commonly mitigated through the use of two-way signaling devices for cooperative GEO satellites. However, determining the position and velocity of uncooperative GEO satellites and/or objects is more challenging. The objective of this dissertation is to quantify the increased orbital accuracy of objects in the GEO catalog when the Air Force Space Command Space Surveillance Network (AFSPC SSN) is augmented with space-based angles-only measurements from a sensor in a unique near-GEO orbit. Linear covariance theory and analysis provides an efficient method to determine the covariance of the position and velocity of an uncooperative GEO object, while incorporating uncertainties in the dynamics and sensor errors. Once this covariance is determined, an error budget analysis is performed to determine the major sources of uncertainty contributing to position errors of objects in the GEO catalog. As a result, it is shown through linear covariance analysis that incorporating measurements from a space-based sensor in a near-GEO orbit increases the orbital accuracy of GEO objects when compared to the orbital accuracy achieved with AFSPC SSN measurements alone.

Year: 2017

description: This study was conducted to determine if the information from the Premarital Interpersonal Choices and Knowledge (PICK) program How to Avoid Falling for a Jerk/ette helped positively change adolescents’ attitudes about relationships. The program was taught to 9,130 high school students (ages 14 -18) from 35 different high schools in a Western state.
Surveys were given at the beginning of the first class (pretest) and at the end of the final class (posttest). In addition to demographic information, students rated (1) their attitudes about what it takes to get to know a potential partner, (2) their belief that love alone is enough to sustain a relationship, (3) statements endorsing controlling relationship attitudes, and (4) how to pace a relationship in healthy ways. Pretest and posttest score averages were calculated, then compared statistically to determine if teen attitudes had changed in light of the information they learned in the class. Results showed significant change in all four measures, suggesting that the information taught in the class was associated with positively influencing participants’ relationship attitudes.

description: We have determined the amount of stellar mass segregation in over 50 globular clusters and ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates based on deep HST and ground-based photometry. We find that the amount of mass segregation in globular clusters is strongly correlated with their relaxation time and that all clusters with relaxation times of the order of their ages or longer have little to no mass segregation. For each cluster, the amount of mass segregation seen is fully compatible with the amount expected by dynamical evolution from initially unsegregated clusters, showing that globular clusters formed without primordial mass segregation among their low-mass stars. Ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates split into two groups, star clusters which follow the same trend between relaxation time and amount of mass segregation as globular clusters and dark-matter dominated dwarf galaxies that are unsegregated despite having relaxation times smaller than a Hubble time. Stellar abundance and velocity dispersion data, where available, confirm our classification. After classification of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates, we find that outer halo star clusters have average densities inside their half-light radii of 0.03 M$_\odot$/pc$^3 \lesssim ρ_h \lesssim$ 1 M$_\odot$/pc$^3$, while dwarf galaxies have stellar densities of 0.001 M$_\odot$/pc$^3 \lesssim ρ_h \lesssim $ 0.03 M$_\odot$/pc$^3$. The reason for this separation in density is most likely a combination of the initial conditions by which the systems formed and the requirement to withstand external tidal forces.

description: This existing empirical study delves into the intersection of technology and income sustainability for auto rickshaw drivers in Mysore, with a focus on the impact of ride-sharing platforms such as OLA, UBER, and RAPIDO on their daily earnings. The advent of these platforms has reshaped urban mobility by increasing accessibility and simplifying navigation. However, despite these advancements, auto rickshaw drivers face ongoing challenges stemming from seasonal demand fluctuations, variable pricing, rising fuel costs, and platform commission fees, which contribute to income instability. This research addresses gaps in existing literature by investigating how technological innovations influence drivers' livelihoods in the context of fluctuating revenue and escalating operating costs. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the study examines trends in earnings, expenses, and market dynamics in Mysore’s transportation sector. It also explores the broader societal benefits of ride-sharing technology, such as improved access to transportation for both locals and tourists. The research ultimately seeks to determine whether auto rickshaw drivers can sustain steady incomes amidst mounting competition, regulatory changes, and rising operational costs. Additionally, it aims to propose legislative measures that could foster long-term income stability, balancing technological progress with equitable economic outcomes. The findings are expected to inform urban policy and planning, offering valuable insights for the development of regulations that ensure fair pay, income security, and sustainable practices within Mysore’s transportation ecosystem. By examining the economic implications of technological advancements, this study aims to contribute to a more resilient, inclusive, and balanced urban mobility framework.

description: We investigate a class of rapidly growing emission line galaxies, known as "Green Peas", first noted by volunteers in the Galaxy Zoo project because of their peculiar bright green colour and small size, unresolved in SDSS imaging. Their appearance is due to very strong optical emission lines, namely [O III] 5007 A, with an unusually large equivalent width of up to ~1000 A. We discuss a well-defined sample of 251 colour-selected objects, most of which are strongly star forming, although there are some AGN interlopers including 8 newly discovered narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies. The star-forming Peas are low mass galaxies (M~10^8.5 - 10^10 M_sun) with high star formation rates (~10 M_sun/yr), low metallicities (log[O/H] + 12 ~ 8.7) and low reddening (E(B-V) < 0.25) and they reside in low density environments. They have some of the highest specific star formation rates (up to ~10^{-8} yr^{-1}) seen in the local Universe, yielding doubling times for their stellar mass of hundreds of Myrs. The few star-forming Peas with HST imaging appear to have several clumps of bright star-forming regions and low surface density features that may indicate recent or ongoing mergers. The Peas are similar in size, mass, luminosity and metallicity to Luminous Blue Compact Galaxies. They are also similar to high redshift UV-luminous galaxies, e.g., Lyman-break galaxies and Lyman-alpha emitters, and therefore provide a local laboratory with which to study the extreme star formation processes that occur in high-redshift galaxies. Studying starbursting galaxies as a function of redshift is essential to understanding the build up of stellar mass in the Universe.

title: Stratigraphy, Geochronology, and Tectonics of the Salt Lake Formation (Tertiary) of Southern Cache Valley, Utah
Creators: name: Smith, Kristine A
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: This study synthesizes the deposition and tectonic evolution of the Tertiary deposits in southern Cache Valley, a narrow, north-trending valley in the northeastern Basin-and- Range Province. The surrounding mountains consist of Proterozoic and Paleozoic sedimentary rocks. Southern Cache Valley is an east-tilted half-graben. The oldest Tertiary sediments are on the west side of the basin, and the overall dip is to the east.
The Late Miocene to Early Pliocene Salt Lake Formation (Tsl) accumulated above the thin (to absent) Early to Middle Eocene Wasatch Formation (Tw) and the newly identified Fowkes and Norwood Tuff equivalents (Tfn; late Middle Eocene to Middle Oligocene).
The two post-Wasatch units consist of felsic tuff, tuffaceous sandstone, pebble to boulder conglomerate, limestone, and sandstone. Pebble counts, generalized measured sections, and detailed mapping permitted subdivision of the Tertiary deposits into mappable subunits. Numerous faults and N-trending folds are present in Tertiary deposits in the SW part of the area. The Cenozoic-Paleozoic contact is offset by normal faults. The faults with ENE trends offset both the Paleozoic and Tertiary rocks, and thus are younger than 5 .1 Ma.
Thick gravels, rich in Paleozoic carbonates, dominate exposures in the east, near the East Cache fault zone. Few cobbles are present within the Tfn except near the base, whereas conglomerates rich in clasts of Paleozoic carbonates are intertongued with tuffaceous sediments throughout the Tsl, especially eastward. Up to 8,000 feet (3439 m) of the Tsl accumulated as the narrow Cache Valley basin formed during the Neogene by rapid eastward downfaulting.
title: A Pattern Language for Designing Application-Level Communication Protocols and the Improvement of Computer Science Education through Cloud Computing
Creators: name: Lascano, Jorge Edison
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Networking protocols have been developed throughout time following layered architectures such as the Open Systems Interconnection model and the Internet model. These protocols are grouped in the Internet protocol suite. Most developers do not deal with low-level protocols, instead they design application-level protocols on top of the low-level protocol. Although each application-level protocol is different, there is commonality among them and developers can apply lessons learned from one protocol to the design of new ones. Design patterns can help by gathering and sharing proven and reusable solution to common, reoccurring design problems. The Application-level Communication Protocols Design Patterns language captures this knowledge about application-level protocol design, so developers can create better, more fitting protocols base on these common and well proven solutions.
Another aspect of contemporary development technics is the need of distribution of software artifacts. Most of the development companies have started using Cloud Computing services to overcome this need; either public or private clouds are widely used. Future developers need to manage this technology infrastructure, software, and platform as services.
These two aspects, communication protocols design and cloud computing represent an opportunity to contribute to the software development community and to the software engineering education curriculum. The Application-level Communication Protocols Design Patterns language aims to help solve communication software design. The use of cloud computing in programming assignments targets on a positive influence on improving the Analysis to Reuse skills of students of computer science careers.
title: Effects of High Ammonium/Nitrate Ratios on Nitrification and Growth of Wheat in Hydroponics
Creators: name: Muhlestein, Dawn J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Nitrogen is the only plant nutrient taken up as both a cation (NH4 +) and anion (NO3-). Nitrate is considered the "safe" form of N and NH/ is generally thought to be toxic, especially at high levels. High NH/ /NO3- ratios are thought to be toxic because they result in a rhizosphere pH low enough to damage root membranes, induced cation deficiencies, and build-up of NH3 caused by delayed NH/ assimilation. These factors can be minimized in hydroponic culture. The objective of these studies was to quantify the effects of high NH4 + IN 0 3- ratios on nitrification and growth of wheat in hydroponics. Two cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were grown to maturity with either 15% or 80% of the N supplied as NH4+. The effect of using CL- versus so/- as counter ions to NH4 + was also examined. Yield was not significantly affected by NH4 + ratio or counter ion. Seed protein was increased from 15 to 19% with high NH4 +. Harvest index was reduced from 52 to 48% with 80% NH4 +, but was unaffected by counter ion. Rates of nitrification in hydroponic culture are not well quantified and could result in significant conversion of NH4+ to NO3- before plant uptake. An isotopic dilution study was conducted to quantify rates of nitrification in hydroponic culture. A 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design was used to examine the effect of pH (5.8 or 7.0), inoculation with nitrifying bacteria, and the presence of plants. This study was done with wheat grown in vigorously-aerated, 2-L bottles. Each bottle contained 10 g of diatomaceous earth to provide surface area for microbial growth. Nitrate began to accumulate in 5 din unplanted, inoculated bottles at pH 7.0; in 20 d at pH 5.8 with inoculation; but did not begin to accumulate in non-inoculated bottles (pH 5.8 or 7.0) until day 30. Nitrate never accumulated in any of the planted bottles, most likely because plants consumed the No 3- that was produced. Calculations from the isotopic dilution measurements indicated that the rate of nitrification averaged 58 μmol No 3- L-1 d-1 in the planted bottles, and averaged 270 μmol NO3- L- 1 d-1 in unplanted bottles. Nitrification was likely reduced in the planted bottles because the reduced concentration of NH4 + limited nitrification. To provide rapid, inexpensive measurement of nutrient concentration in hydroponic solution, five colorimetric tests were evaluated. Tests for NO3- and PO4 were accurate and reliable, but the tests for SO4^2-, Si 0 2, and Fe need additional refinement.

description: We study magnetic properties of a periodically driven Mott insulator with strong spin-orbit coupling and show some properties characteristic of linearly polarized light. We consider a $t_{2g}$-orbital Hubbard model driven by circularly or linearly polarized light with strong spin-orbit coupling and derive its effective Hamiltonian in the strong-interaction limit for a high-frequency case. We show that linearly polarized light can change not only the magnitudes and signs of the exchange interactions, but also their bond anisotropy even without the bond-anisotropic hopping integrals. Because of this property, the honeycomb-network spin system could be transformed into weakly coupled zigzag or step spin chains for the light field polarized along the $b$- or $a$-axis, respectively. Then, analyzing how the light fields affect several magnetic states in a mean-field approximation, we show that linearly polarized light can change the relative stability of the competing magnetic states, whereas such a change is absent for circularly polarized light. We also analyze the effects of both the bond anisotropy of nearest-neighbor hopping integrals and a third-neighbor hopping integral on the magnetic states and show that the results obtained in a simple model, in which the bond-averaged nearest-neighbor hopping integrals are considered, remain qualitatively unchanged except for the stability of zigzag states in the non-driven case and the degeneracy lifting of the zigzag or stripy states.

description: In the present study, we investigated the generation phase of laboratory-scale water waves induced by the impulsive motion of a rigid piston, whose maximum velocity $U$ and total stroke $L$ are independently varied, as well as the initial liquid depth $h$. By doing so, the influence of two dimensionless numbers is studied: the Froude number $\mathrm{Fr}_p=U/(gh)^{1/2}$, with $g$ the gravitational acceleration, and the relative stroke $Λ_p =L/h$ of the piston. During the constant acceleration phase of the vertical wall, a transient water bump forms and remains localised in the vicinity of the piston, for all investigated parameters. Experiments with a small relative acceleration $γ/g$, where $γ=U^2/L$, are well captured by a first-order potential flow theory established by \citet{1990_joo}, which provides a fair estimate of the overall free surface elevation and the maximum wave amplitude reached at the contact with the piston. For large Froude numbers, an unsteady hydraulic jump theory is proposed, which accurately predicts the time evolution of the wave amplitude at the contact with the piston throughout the generation phase. At the end of the formation process, the dimensionless volume of the bump evolves linearly with $Λ_p$ and the wave aspect ratio is found to be governed by the relative acceleration $γ/g$. As the piston begins its constant deceleration, the water bump evolves into a propagating wave and several regimes are then reported and mapped in a phase diagram in the ($\mathrm{Fr}_p$, $Λ_p$) plane. While the transition from waves to water jets is observed if the typical acceleration of the piston is close enough to the gravitational acceleration $g$, the wave regimes are found to be mainly selected by the relative piston stroke $Λ_p$ while the Froude number determines whether the generated wave breaks or not.

description: Two short presentations and the source code of a small demo given at the Atelier Heloïse Workshop on interoperability 2014. 
The workshop was called to discuss proposals in models and solutions to enable an efficient data exchange between several European projects on Historical Academic Prosopographic Databases.
On behalf of the CRR-MM, I proposed some solutions based on  the PROSO data model for prosopographies, extending said model into an ontology and thus exposing the data from each project as RDF triples. 
Aside from the general presentation on possible solutions, a  SPARQL endpoint was prepared for an interactive demo. The triplestore was loaded with a sample dataset taking into account several of the peculiarities of the participating projects, and some sample queries on said data were prepared.
