title: Durational Control of Defensive Burying in Rats: An Investigation of a Species-Specific Defense Reaction
Creators: name: Goldberg, Stephen Gregory
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: Six experiments were run to determine whether the duration of conditioned defensive burying (COB) in rats is a function of its consequences.
Four experiments developed the methodology. Experiment 1 replicated the standard one-trial experiment, where rats are shocked once by a prod. All three rats exhibited CDB. Experiment 2 used a lever-press-for-water contingency to force recontact with the lever, following shock deliveries in Sessions 6 and 14. All three rats buried the lever in both sessions. Experiment 3 replicated Experiment 2, employing albino and hooded rats. All six buried the lever. The albinos exhibited longer burying durations. Experiment 4 used the lever-press-for-water contingency but employed extinction to test whether rats would bury the lever under that condition. They did not.
Experiment 5 used three groups of rats to determine whether burying durations are a function of CDB's consequences. Groups LS and LSH had enough sawdust to cover the lever, but a hole under the lever was opened during LSH's burying. Group SS lacked enough sawdust to cover the lever. The groups' mean burying durations (MBDs) were not significantly different in Session 6. Following Session 14, group differences and a group-by-session interaction were statistically significant. Effect sizes for Groups LS and SS were large. Group LS's MBD increased, Group LSH's remained unchanged, and Group SS's decreased.
Experiment 6 used two groups of rats to determine whether MBDs are a function of shock source visibility. Group C's substratum consisted of uncolored, transparent Plexiglas blocks. Group B had black, opaque blocks. Only the group-by-session interaction was statistically significant. The MBDs of Groups Band C paralleled those of Groups LS and SS in Experiment 5. The effect sizes for C and B were large and medium, respectively.
CDB occurred in all experiments where the rats received shocks, and CDB was reproduced in experiments where the animals were forced to recontact the shock source through a lever-press-for-water contingency.
CDB durations are a function of their consequences. Rats whose burying covers or blocks the shock source from view exhibit longer burying durations in succeeding shock trials. Rats whose burying is ineffective exhibit shorter durations.
The microwave spectra and structures of some isocyanates
Creators: name: Hocking, William Hiram
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The microwave spectra and structures of three isocyanate molecules have been studied; they are: chlorine isocyanate (CINCO), isocyanic acid (HNCO) and cyanogen isocyanate (NCNCO). CINCO: The microwave spectra of six isotopic species of chlorine isocyanate have been measured in the frequency region 8-37 GHz. It was found that the rotational energy level scheme corresponding to each of these spectra was adequately represented by a seven parameter Hamiltonian specific for a well behaved planar molecule. The parameters, three rotational constants and four distortion constants, were determined using a least squares fitting procedure. From the rotational constants, the r₈ molecular structure of chlorine isocyanate was calculated to be: r(Cl-N) = 1.705 ± 0.005 Å ∟(ClNC) = 118° 50¹ ± 30¹ r(N-C) = 1.225 ± 0.005 Å ∟(NCO) = 170° 52¹ ± 30¹ r(C-O) = 1.162 ± 0.005 Å Planar, Cl and 0 trans. This is the first instance in which an isocyanate molecule has been shown to have a bent NCO chain. Considerable hyperfine structure was also observed in all of the chlorine isocyanate spectra. This was analysed to yield chlorine and nitrogen nuclear quadrupole coupling constants. These have provided some insight into the electronic distribution in the molecule. HNCO: The microwave spectra of six isotopic species of isocyanic acid have also been measured in the frequency region 8-37 GHz. The observed (microwave) transitions were analysed together with the available millimeter-wave data (Kewley et.al. (150) and Winnewisser (198)) using Watson's general non-rigid Hamiltonian. This analysis yielded rotational constants of sufficient accuracy to allow the determination of a refined (r₈) molecular structure: s r(H-N) = 0.986 ± 0.015 Å ∟(HNC) = 128° 2¹ ± 1° r(N-C) = 1.209 ± 0.005 Å ∟(NCO) = 180° r(C-O) = 1.166 ± 0.005 Å . In addition, the b-component of the dipole moment of deuterated isocyanic acid was measured. The value obtained is: μ[sub b] = 1.35 ± 0.10 D. When combined with the previously measured a-component (μ[sub a] = 1.602 ± 0.020 D (153)) SL it yields the total dipole moment of DNCO: μ = 2.10 ± 0.15 D. NCNCO: The microwave spectrum of the naturally most abundant isotopic species of cyanogen isocyanate has been investigated. This was found to be consistent with a bent chain structure rather than the previously proposed (18) linear configuration. A preliminary molecular structure was calculated. Analysis of excited vibrational state spectra gave evidence for strong quasi-linear behavior. Stark measurements yielded the molecular dipole moment.

description: The quantum dots (QD) interface in solution can play significant roles in electron transfer dynamics for quantum dots-sensitized solar cells and different biological, environmental, and industrial systems. Here, we predict an avenue to identify the contribution of the quantum dots interface created static electric field on the nonlinear optical response (NLO) due to four-wave mixing (FWM), especially for the nanoparticles where surface contribution is high. We implement a way to disentangle the FWM response in QDs originating from the three incoming oscillating laser fields (NLOoscillating) and a contribution (NLOstatic) arising from the three oscillating laser fields and the static electric field caused by the interface. Advanced two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) employs phase-resolved heterodyne techniques where FWM response is measured in a particular phase-matched direction, and the response is distinctively phase sensitive. Theoretical analysis shows alteration in the interface can introduce phase variation in the NLOstatic signal, resulting in a distinct change in the 2D-spectra. Our studies establish a range of ionic strength, which can be important to untwine the usual NLO signal (NLOoscillating) from the NLO (NLOstatic) contributed by the interface of quantum dots. This analysis may open up the possibility to study the different kinds of dynamics occurring specifically in the interface and also will pave the path towards different ion interactions through phase change in 2D spectra, and enormous scope will be employing deep learning-assisted phase recognition.

description: Abstract

Trypsin inhibitors, also called serpins are the largest class of protease inhibitors having antagonistic properties to catalytic proteases. In this study, a 528bp Cajanus cajan trypsin inhibitor gene (CcTI) fused with a 63bp epinecidin-1 peptide (GFIFHIIKGLFHAGKMIHGLV), an anti-microbial peptide (AMP) from Epinephelus coioides, was cloned in pET-29a(+) expression vector and transformed in E. coli host system (Top10 and Bl21 cells) to produce rCcTI-epi-1 protein. Molecular cloning and chromatographic techniques were employed to maximize the production of biologically important trypsin inhibitory protein with a potent defensive role in therapeutics. The recombinant inhibitor-peptide complex (rCcTI-epi-1) was expressed in soluble lysate as well as inclusion bodies at reducing IPTG condition (0.5mM) with increasing the incubation time (24hrs). Contrary to insoluble protein aggregates, the expression levels of rCcTI-epi-1 protein were high in soluble lysate extracts. The 21kDa recombinant trypsin inhibitor-epinecidin-1 protein was purified by affinity chromatography at pH 7.5 with high purification yield but low purity of rCcTI-epi-1 protein using 250mM imidazole while elution with 500mM imidazole showed low yield but high on purity rCcTI-epi-1 protein. The rCcTI-epi-1 protein exhibited high microbial inhibition against Escherichia coli at a dose of 18μg/ml, whereas, the antimicrobial effect of rCcTI-epi-1 against Staphylococcus aureus was low (36μg/ml), mainly exerted by epinecidin-1 AMP peptide. The IC50 values of the cytotoxic effect of rCcTI-epi-1 protein against MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, A549, and HepG2 cell lines were 15.86μg/ml, 17.33μg/ml, 18.17μg/ml, and 20.25μg/ml, respectively. Taken together, our study investigate comprehensive invitro therapeutic potential of rCcTI-epi-1 protein against different carcinomas, uncovering the clinical potency of rCcTI-epi-1 as a targeted agent for cancer treatment in the future.

description: The Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) signed in December 2015 resulted in some relative stabilization and improvement of the security situation of the country, especially in Tripoli. Yet, it has not brought the political and institutional divisions to an end. The diplomatic focus put on revising the LPA during 2017 has shed light on the vested interest in the status quo of some powerful armed groups linked to politicians and businessmen. This entails the risk of a new armed confrontation between rival groups in the near future. It also highlights the necessity of increased diplomatic focus on Libya’s economic rehabilitation.

title: Psychosis in a Developmental Psychopathology Context: A Factor Analytic Study of Schizophrenia in Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatients
Creators: name: Adams, Paul R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1989

description: Demographic, historical, psychometric, and clinical data were obtained from the psychiatric files of all patients manifesting schizophrenic symptomatology who were hospitalized in an adolescent psychiatric facility during a five year period (N= 71). Factor analysis of the usable data resulted in three interpretable factors, which included: (1) aggressive behavior; (2) disturbed family functioning; and, (3) thought disorder. Age of first hospitalization correlated positively with factor three.
The results provide support for concerns expressed by a number of scientists and clinicians that schizophrenia may not be a discrete, unitary disorder; and that uncritical downward extension of adult diagnoses to adolescents and prepubescent children may be questionable. The results further suggest that current DSM-III and DSMIII- R subtypes of schizophrenia (which are clinically derived and symptom based), are not validated by empirically derived subtypes that include objective indices of behavior along with clinical symptoms. The correlation of "age of first hospitalization" with one of the three factors suggests that developmental level at the onset of illness may represent an important mediating variable in the severity and prognosis of certain subtypes of schizophrenia.

title: The Effects of Participation in a Development Group Upon the Psychological Adjustment of Pregnant Adolescents and Adolescent Mothers
Creators: name: Wazlavek, Bernard E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: Pregnant adolescents and adolescent mothers are a population at risk to a variety of negative social, economic, and psychological consequences. Numerous group interventions have been designed to improve the psychological adjustment of pregnant adolescents and adolescent mothers. However, there has been a paucity of research evaluating the efficacy of these interventions. This research was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the development group intervention. The primary objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of this intervention upon the psychological adjustment of the participants.
Thirty-two subjects (16 experimental and 16 comparison) enrolled in two alternative public high schools in Ogden, Utah, participated in the study. Demographic data were obtained for all subjects prior to the initiation of the study.
All subjects completed a battery of self-report questionnaires prior to the development group intervention. This battery was comprised of the following assessment instruments: Revised Kaplan Scale, Adolescent Life Change Event Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Rathus Assertiveness Schedule, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Wazlavek Support Scale. At the end of the 14-week intervention period, all participants again completed the self-report assessment battery.
No statistically significant differences were found between the experimental group and the comparison group. However, development group attendance was significantly positively correlated with posttest levels of perceived social support. There is indication that married adolescents may benefit more from the development group experience than single adolescents.

description: We investigate the effect that the average backreaction of structure formation has on the dynamics of the cosmological expansion, within the concordance model. Our approach in the Poisson gauge is fully consistent up to second-order in a perturbative expansion about a flat Friedmann background, including a cosmological constant. We discuss the key length scales which are inherent in any averaging procedure of this kind. We identify an intrinsic homogeneity scale that arises from the averaging procedure, beyond which a residual offset remains in the expansion rate and deceleration parameter. In the case of the deceleration parameter, this can lead to a quite large increase in the value - more than 10% - and may therefore have important ramifications for dark energy measurements, even if the underlying nature of dark energy is a cosmological constant. We give the intrinsic variance that affects the value of the effective Hubble rate and deceleration parameter. These considerations serve to add extra intrinsic errors to our determination of the cosmological parameters, and, in particular, may render attempts to measure the Hubble constant to percent precision overly optimistic.

title: The Effects of Teacher Training vs. Teacher and Parent Training on the Aggressive Behavior of Preschoolers
Creators: name: Shamaly, John J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The present study was conducted over a two-month period and used a three-group post-treatment quasi-experimental design to compare the relative effectiveness of teacher training only, to teacher training plus parent training, upon the aggressive and social competency behaviors of teacher-identified aggressive preschoolers. In addition to a non-intervention control group of teacher-identified aggressive preschoolers, children who teachers identified as being non-aggressive were also observed for comparison purposes. The training that both parents and teachers received was general and focused on providing an understanding of the techniques of social learning theory and child behavior management. Parents also implemented behavior programs to increase desirable child behaviors. The dependent measures used in the present investigation included: observed child aggression, observed teacher reinforcement of parallel and cooperative play of target children, teacher ratings of social competency and problem behaviors, parents' ratings of problem behaviors, and parent satisfaction ratings of children's daycare/preschool programs. Due to several problems with research design and methodology (e.g., quasi-random assignment, no baseline or pre-treatment data, a small sample size, etc.), it was impossible to draw definitive conclusions from the obtained results. However, it appeared that both teacher training and teacher and parent training were as equally effective in reducing aggression as was no treatment at all. Furthermore, teacher training did not appear to increase teachers' rate of reinforcement of appropriate child behaviors.
Another finding was that parent training may have increased parents' knowledge of behavioral principles as applied to children and may have improved parents' satisfaction with children's daycare/preschool programs. Suggestions made for further research included: increasing the sample size, random assignment of subjects, development of specific individual treatment programs, and collection of baseline pretreatment data.

title: The Relationship Between Congruence Among Communication Channels and Degree of Mental Health
Creators: name: Seibel, Karen R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: Writers from a number of theoretical backgrounds have asserted that agreement in the emotional messages conveyed by various verbal and nonverbal communication channels is related to the communicator's psychological health. If this conjecture is accurate, then congruence among communication channels could be used as a behaviorally based assessment tool. However, empirical research to test this theoretical and clinical assumption is relatively lacking. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that individuals who display congruence (agreement) between verbal (language), verbal/vocal (language plus paralinguistic cues, or speech) and nonverbal (facial) channels of communication will show a greater degree of mental health than will individuals who display incongruence. "Degree of mental health" was operationally defined as an individual's scores on the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). Fifty-six subjects were administrated the POI and were interviewed on videotape. Three pairs of judges rated the videotapes for the affects communicated in the video channel (picture only), the audio channel (sound only), and the transcript channel (the subject's words transcribed onto paper). Comparisons of affect ratings across channels yielded difference scores, resulting in measures of various types of congruence. Analyses of variance were carried out with difference scores as independent variables and and overall POI score as the dependent variable. No significant results were obtained. Multivariate analyses of the POI subscales were also performed, again with nonsignificant findings. Alternative explanations of the congruence phenomenon and methodological limitations are presented. Implications for the clinical utility of congruence and for future research are discussed.

Creators: name: Kim, Sung-il
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of elaborations on memory . Two types of elaborations (self-generated elaboration and experimenter-provided elaboration) were examined. The experiment consisted of three phases (incidental learning phase, immediate test phase, and delayed test phase). In the incidental learning phase, subjects were asked to make plausibility judgments about 28 fictitious episodes. Half of these were about well-known individuals and the other half were about unknown individuals. Each name (either well-known or unknown) was presented with either two supportive facts or without the supportive facts. During the immediate test phase, subjects were given unexpected memory tests. One week later, unexpected delayed memory tests were administered. Results from both immediate and delayed tests indicated that self-generated elaborations based on prior knowledge subjects had about well-known individuals enhanced the retention of target information, whereas experimenter-provided elaborations involving the presence of supportive facts only benefited memory performance when the subjects had prior knowledge about the individuals. Experimenter-provided elaborations were also effective to the extent that the encoding context was reinstated at testing.

description: Following a wildfire, land management agencies act quickly to protect ecosystem services. We don't currently understand how post-wildfire managers make trade-off decisions in these tight timelines, or if these decisions reflect current science. Using Brunson’s (2014) social-ecological systems multi-scalar model, surveys assessed manager opinions about post-wildfire projects, perceptions of stakeholder opinions, and ability or willingness to consider new science results. Public surveys asked local citizens their opinions about post-wildfire projects. Manager perceptions were measured through semi-structured phone interviews (n = 8) and a structured online survey (n = 256). Public surveys were mailed to 1,000 (971 deliverable, n = 152 usable) residents in rural and urban Great Basin and Mojave Desert ZIP codes. We found coarse- and fine-scale social and political opinions were associated with all post-wildfire management decisions, often creating perceived barriers to project implementation. Conversely, local citizens were more supportive of projects than managers perceived them to be. While the majority of managers and citizens supported the concept of incorporating experimental research, managers were less able to consider more specific research incorporation into actual projects. Ecologically, biological soil crusts (BSC) are emerging as an important fine-scale component of semi-arid restorations. However, even when BSCs are assessed prior to a restoration plan, it is unclear how or if this knowledge has any impact. BSCs were evaluated both socially and ecologically: all manager surveys contained questions specifically related to BSC, and a pilot greenhouse study assessed a) if seed drilling simulations on different stages of BSC may affect restoration plant establishment and b) if BSC excluded the invasive species Bromus tectorum. Similar to other new science results, managers were unlikely to be able/willing to consider BSC status in post-wildfire projects. However, our results suggest the possibility that, even when lightly burned, seeding strategy may influence native plant establishment. In ideal greenhouse conditions, B. tectorum was able to establish readily on both burned and unburned BSC.

description: This thesis represents over two decades of research on the genetics and evolution of Australia's iconic plant genus, Eucalyptus. I have undertaken this research in collaboration with numerous colleagues and the 25 PhD and 26 Honours students that I have supervised while employed at the University of Tasmania (see Acknowledgements). While mainly native to Australia (137), eucalypts were rapidly spread around the world following their discovery by Europeans. They are now the most widely grown hardwoods, and Australia's major germplasm contribution to the world (138). Our research has focused on species native to the island of Tasmania (43, 102). Only 29 species of eucalypts, from two subgenera are recognized as native to the island. A large component of this research is on E. globulus (sensu Brooker 2000, but treated as E. globulus ssp. globulus by some taxonomists). Eucalyptus globulus is the main eucalypt grown in hardwood plantations in Australia. It is also the species most widely grown in pulpwood plantations in temperate regions of the world and ranks amongst the 10 most planted forest tree species globally (154). The other Tasmanian species studied of international importance are E. gunnii, which is considered one of the most frost resistant of all eucalypts species and is grown on a small scale in plantations in southern France (8, 144), and E. regnans which is the tallest species of flowering plant in the world (47, 102). The genetic research undertaken has addressed fundamental issues in evolutionary biology as well as applied issues to support domestication programs, and gene pool management and conservation.
title: A Stochastic Model for Water-Vegetation Systems and the Effect of Decreasing Precipitation on Semi-Arid Environments

description: Current climate change trends are affecting the magnitude and recurrence of extreme weather events. In particular, several semi-arid regions around the planet are confronting more intense and prolonged lack of precipitation, slowly transforming these regions into deserts. In this thesis we present a stochastic (meso-scale) model for vegetation-precipitation interactions for semi-arid landscapes. Extensive simulations with the model suggest that persistence in current trends of precipitation decline in semi-arid landscapes may expedite desertification processes by up to several decades.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
title: Misconduct-Related Discharge from Active Duty Military Service: An Examination of Precipitating Factors and Post-Deployment Health Outcomes
Creators: name: Brignone, Emily
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: U.S. military service members who are discharged from service for misconduct are at high risk for mental health and substance use disorders, homelessness, mortality, and incarceration. The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the pre- and post-discharge experiences and characteristics of this highly vulnerable population in order to inform improved prevention and intervention strategies.
Administrative data from the Department of Defense and Veterans Health Administration for veterans of recent conflicts were used to conduct 3 related retrospective cohort studies. These included (1) an evaluation of the demographic and military service characteristics and service-connected disabilities associated with discharge for misconduct; (2) an examination of post-discharge health status and healthcare utilization among misconduct-discharged veterans; and (3) the development of predictive models for homelessness and mortality among misconduct-discharged veterans.
Several demographic and military service characteristics were associated with increased risk for misconduct discharge, as were exposure to sexual trauma, and post-discharge designation of service-connected disabilities related to mental illness. Misconduct-discharged veterans were found to have significant and complex healthcare needs, and used clinical services at approximately double the rate of routinely discharged veterans. Several risk factors for homelessness and mortality among this population were identified. Risk stratification models showed good predictive accuracy for homelessness, and fair predictive accuracy for mortality.
Targeted counter-attrition strategies and an increased focus on health-related determinants of misconduct, including rehabilitative approaches to behavioral problems, may help to reduce misconduct-related attrition. Efforts to transition post-discharge care from specialty settings to integrated primary care settings may be successful in mitigating adverse outcomes. Risk stratification techniques can facilitate the efficient targeting of resources.

description: Acineta sulcata Dons, 1927
 = Acineta benesaepta Schultz, 1933
 = Donsia sulcata (Dons, 1927) (cf. Jankowsky, 1967)
 = Plicophrya sulcata (Dons, 1927) (cf. Jankowski, 1975)
 Records on halacarid mites: Acineta sulcata was reported on halacarid mites from the Norwegian coast near Trǿmse (Dons 1927). Suctorian ciliates were later observed by Schulz (1933) on halacarid mites from Kiel Bay and named A. benesaepta. Kahl (1934) mentioned that the species was regularly observed in Kiel Bay on halacarid hosts. Precht (1935) later found A. sulcata (under synonymic name A. benesaepta) in Kiel Bay on a species of Copidognathus.
 Gosse (1855) reported Acineta sp. on the legs of a halacarid mite Thalassarachna basteri (Johnston, 1836), which erroneously was identified as Halacarus ctenopus Gosse, 1855 – cf. Bartsch, 2001a. Bartsch & Dovgal (2010) commented about this suctorian specimen and identified as Acineta sulcata Dons, 1927, probably.
Jankowski (1981, 2007) noted numerous finds of this species on halacarid mites from the coast of the Barents Sea.
 This species was also found by Dovgal on the legs of an unidentified freshwater halacarid mite from the Unava River near Fasrov (Fastov region, Kiev Province, Ukraine) (Dovgal & Pešić 2007; Dovgal et al. 2008b; Dovgal 2013). In Dovgal & Pešić (2007), the mite host was indicated erroneously as an oribatid (Dovgal et al. 2008b).
 Bartsch & Panesar (2000) recorded Acineta sp. on the idiosoma and legs of Halacarellus hyrcanus (Viets, 1928) (= Caspihalacarus hyrcanus Viets, 1928) from the Danube River near Vienna, Аustria, and commented that this suctorian was probably A. tuberosa Ehrenberg. Аfter observing the figures of that species (Bartsch & Panesar 2000 Fig. 1), Dovgal et al. (2008a) commented that it probably is A. sulcata.
 Other Hosts: Precht (1935) in addition to halacarid hosts reported the species in Kiel Bay on ostracods Cythereis tuberculata (Sars, 1865) and Hemicythere villosa (Sars, 1866).
 Fernandez-Leborans et al. (2013) reported A. sulcate as epibiont on the hydrozoan Dycorine conferta, which was found on gastropod shells inhabited by the hermit-crab Pagurus bernhardus from the west coast of Scotland.
 Remarks: The species is possible specific to halacarid mites, even when found in freshwaters. The finding of the species on hydrozoans (Fernandez-Leborans et al. 2013) and ostracods (Precht 1935) needs further investigation.
