description: Parametrization of the quark and lepton mixing matrices is the first attempt to understand the mixing of fermions. In this work, we parameterize the quark and lepton matrices with the help of quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) in a tri-bimaximal pattern of lepton mixing matrix. In this way, we combine the parametrization of the two matrices with each other. We apply this new parametrization to several physical quantities, and show its simplicity in the expression of, e.g., the Jarlskog parameter of CP violation.

From the Dinner Table to the Boardroom: The Effects of Nepotism on Family Businesses
Creators: name: Finelli, Gina M.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study explores the consequences of nepotism on family businesses and their members from a sociological perspective. Through case studies of 18 privately-owned family businesses in the greater Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area, this research investigates the conditions under which nepotism is beneficial or problematic for the family business. More specifically, it addresses the role the structure and culture of the business plays in developing nepotism practices, and how these practices affect the interpersonal relationships of multiple generations of family and nonfamily members, the success of these members, and the overall success of the business.The case studies included quantitative data elicited from self-administered questionnaires and qualitative data extracted from in-depth interviews with founder/senior family members, junior family members, and key nonfamily members from each firm. The survey provided data on the structural and cultural characteristics of the firm, policies and procedures in regard to nepotism, and information regarding the statuses and roles of its members. However, because the sample size was not adequate enough to produce meaningful statistical analyses, only frequency statistics were generated. While this indicates a slight methodological shift, the attitudes and actions (interpersonal relationships) of members of the family firm as well as the ”"informal organization"“ were always intended to be the foci of the research. To compliment the evidence gathered through the in-depth interviews and survey, data were also drawn from observations, texts, documents, and artifacts including company manuals, organizational charts, genograms, and human resource policies and procedures. Although nepotism tends to have a negative connotation in American culture, the empirical evidence from this research implies that nepotism in itself is not inherently negative or positive but that the outcome is dependent upon nepotism policies and practices. While both negative and positive consequences surfaced in the data, the findings suggest that equity, not necessarily equality, is essential to ensuring positive outcomes for the family firm. This supports previous literature which is based primarily on anecdotes and commentary of individuals involved in the field of family business. The data on the transparency of these policies and practices were inconclusive, so more research is necessary to fully understand the conditions under which nepotism is beneficial or problematic for the family business.

description: Antibiotics are a pillar of modern medicine. Their use has reduced childhood mortality, and supported invasive surgery, complex treatments, and robotics-guided surgeries by managing secondary bacterial infections. Several factors, such as incorrect antibiotic use, patient factors, over-prescription by physicians, monotherapy, misuse of antibiotics as a business model by hospitals, prescriptions from the veterinary sector, commercial and marketing promotion, over-the-counter sale of antibiotics, prevailing microbiological testing methods, and the role of globalization in economic growth are combined with the extreme decline in antibiotic research, were only fueled the development of antimicrobial resistance.   The increasing use of broad-spectrum antibiotics contributes to the development of MDR organisms. This also adds to the risk of re-emergence of many diseases like the emergence of XDR-TB (extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis) and the development of resistance against tigecycline and colistin, regarded as “salvage” medicines in medical treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified AMR as one of the three most severe threats to human health. Environmental bacteria may acquire antibiotic resistance by co-existence, evolution, or horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which can significantly impact antimicrobial resistance compared to vertical gene transfer.

description: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the potential value of enrolling in rainfall-index for pasture, rangeland, and forage insurance for Utah producers. A stochastic optimization model is used to identify the optimal selection of insurance intervals that will provide the maximum indemnity payments less premiums. Four Utah counties were selected for analysis. Results indicate that positive returns will occur greater than 60% of the time in all counties with the selected insurance intervals. The optimal months to insure varied in each county.

description: Human shape estimation has become increasingly important both theoretically and practically, for instance, in 3D mesh estimation, distance garment production and computational forensics, to mention just a few examples. As a further specialization, \emph{Human Body Dimensions Estimation} (HBDE) focuses on estimating human body measurements like shoulder width or chest circumference from images or 3D meshes usually using supervised learning approaches. The main obstacle in this context is the data scarcity problem, as collecting this ground truth requires expensive and difficult procedures. This obstacle can be overcome by obtaining realistic human measurements from 3D human meshes. However, a) there are no well established methods to calculate HBDs from 3D meshes and b) there are no benchmarks to fairly compare results on the HBDE task. Our contribution is twofold. On the one hand, we present a method to calculate right and left arm length, shoulder width, and inseam (crotch height) from 3D meshes with focus on potential medical, virtual try-on and distance tailoring applications. On the other hand, we use four additional body dimensions calculated using recently published methods to assemble a set of eight body dimensions which we use as a supervision signal to our Neural Anthropometer: a convolutional neural network capable of estimating these dimensions. To assess the estimation, we train the Neural Anthropometer with synthetic images of 3D meshes, from which we calculated the HBDs and observed that the network's overall mean estimate error is $20.89$ mm (relative error of 2.84\%). The results we present are fully reproducible and establish a fair baseline for research on the task of HBDE, therefore enabling the community with a valuable method.

title: An Examination of Entrainment in Typically Developing Children
Creators: name: Pope, Kiersten A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: Conversational entrainment describes the tendency for individuals to align their behavior with their communication partners and is essential for successful interaction. Evidence of entrainment in adults is robust, yet research regarding its development is sparse. Here, we investigate the effectiveness of a quasi-conversational paradigm for the purpose of identifying the speech rate entrainment abilities of children.
Method: Data were collected from a total of 50 typically developing children from 5-14 years old. Participants completed an entrainment task to identify the presence of speech rate modification depending on the presence of “fast” or “slow” stimuli. The entrainment task utilized a quasi-conversational design requiring participants to listen and respond to video clips with a random presentation of speech rate conditions.
Results: Results indicated no significant difference between conditions for speech rate production of any age. Taken with previous literature, analysis suggests a lack of sensitivity in the current paradigm.
Conclusions: Understanding how entrainment develops in children will increase knowledge regarding communication in disordered populations, and provide insight into the mechanisms of typical conversational entrainment. By building upon the current paradigm, future research moves toward the establishment of a methodology that simulates entrainment effects in conversation while reasonably eliminating confounding factors of human-to-human interaction.

description: We show that, assuming that quantum mechanics holds locally, the finite speed of information is the principle that limits all possible correlations between distant parties to be quantum mechanical as well. Local quantum mechanics means that a Hilbert space is assigned to each party, and then all local positive-operator-valued measurements are (in principle) available; however, the joint system is not necessarily described by a Hilbert space. In particular, we do not assume the tensor product formalism between the joint systems. Our result shows that if any experiment would give nonlocal correlations beyond quantum mechanics, quantum theory would be invalidated even locally.

description: In this paper we study a substantial generalization of the model of excited random walk introduced in [Electron. Commun. Probab. 8 (2003) 86-92] by Benjamini and Wilson. We consider a discrete-time stochastic process $(X_n,n=0,1,2,...)$ taking values on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$, $d\geq2$, described as follows: when the particle visits a site for the first time, it has a uniformly-positive drift in a given direction $\ell$; when the particle is at a site which was already visited before, it has zero drift. Assuming uniform ellipticity and that the jumps of the process are uniformly bounded, we prove that the process is ballistic in the direction $\ell$ so that $\liminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{X_n\cdot \ell}{n}>0$. A key ingredient in the proof of this result is an estimate on the probability that the process visits less than $n^{{1/2}+α}$ distinct sites by time n, where $α$ is some positive number depending on the parameters of the model. This approach completely avoids the use of tan points and coupling methods specific to the excited random walk. Furthermore, we apply this technique to prove that the excited random walk in an i.i.d. random environment satisfies a ballistic law of large numbers and a central limit theorem.

description: We introduce an explicit model with technifermion matter transforming according to multiple representations of the underlying technicolor gauge group. The model features simultaneously the smallest possible value of the naive S parameter and the smallest possible number of technifermions. The chiral dynamics is extremely rich. We construct the low-energy effective Lagrangian. We provide both the linearly and non-linearly realized ones. We then embed, in a natural way, the Standard Model (SM) interactions within the global symmetries of the underlying gauge theory. Several low-energy composite particles are SM singlets. One of these Technicolor Interacting Massive Particles (TIMP)s is a natural cold dark matter (DM) candidate. We estimate the fraction of the mass in the universe constituted by our DM candidate over the baryon one. We show that the new TIMP, differently from earlier models, can be sufficiently light to be directly produced and studied at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

We show that this scaling relation reduces to the known relation for a homogeneous cosmology when the LTB metric reduces to the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric under certain identifications of the metric functions. A k-essence lagrangian is set up and the Euler-Lagrangian equations solved assuming $ϕ(r,t)=ϕ_{1}(r) + ϕ_{2}(t)$. The solutions enable the LBT metric functions to be related to the fields. The LTB inhomogeneous universe exhibits accelerated expansion i.e.cosmic acceleration driven by negative pressure.

description: We define a Regge limit for off-shell Green functions in quantum field theory, and study it in the particular case of conformal field theories (CFT). Our limit differs from that defined in arXiv:0801.3002, the latter being only a particular corner of the Regge regime. By studying the limit for free CFTs, we are able to reproduce the Low-Nussinov, BFKL approach to the pomeron at weak coupling. The dominance of Feynman graphs where only two high momentum lines are exchanged in the t-channel, follows simply from the free field analysis. We can then define the BFKL kernel in terms of the two point function of a simple light-like bilocal operator. We also include a brief discussion of the gravity dual predictions for the Regge limit at strong coupling.

description: We present a theory of backward stochastic differential equations in continuous time with an arbitrary filtered probability space. No assumptions are made regarding the left continuity of the filtration, of the predictable quadratic variations of martingales or of the measure integrating the driver. We present conditions for existence and uniqueness of square-integrable solutions, using Lipschitz continuity of the driver. These conditions unite the requirements for existence in continuous and discrete time and allow discrete processes to be embedded with continuous ones. We also present conditions for a comparison theorem and hence construct time consistent nonlinear expectations in these general spaces.

description: Geohazards such as landslides have caused great losses to the safety of people's lives and property, which is often accompanied with surface cracks. If such surface cracks could be identified in time, it is of great significance for the monitoring and early warning of geohazards. Currently, the most common method for crack identification is manual detection, which is with low efficiency and accuracy. In this paper, a deep transfer learning framework is proposed to effectively and efficiently identify slope surface cracks for the sake of fast monitoring and early warning of geohazards such as landslides. The essential idea is to employ transfer learning by training (a) the large sample dataset of concrete cracks and (b) the small sample dataset of soil and rock masses cracks. In the proposed framework, (1) pretrained cracks identification models are constructed based on the large sample dataset of concrete cracks; (2) refined cracks identification models are further constructed based on the small sample dataset of soil and rock masses cracks. The proposed framework could be applied to conduct UAV surveys on high-steep slopes to realize the monitoring and early warning of landslides to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

description: The inclusion of running coupling effects in the BK-JIMWLK evolution equations considerably reduces the energy dependence of the saturation scale with respect to previous estimates based on fits to HERA data. We discuss how such slowdown affects the expectations for particle multiplicities in Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies. Our prediction is based on the use of k_t-factorization and on the use of unintegrated gluon distributions taken from the numerical solutions of the BK equation with running coupling. We obtain a central value dN/dη(sqrt{s}=5.5 TeV)(η=0)~1390.

description: The effect of 'bridge splitting' is considered in the case of capillary adhesion: for a fixed total volume of liquid, does having more capillary bridges increase the total adhesion force? Previous studies have shown that the capillary-induced adhesion force between two planar surfaces is only substantially enhanced by bridge splitting in specific circumstances. Here this previous result is reconsidered, and it is shown that bridge splitting may significantly increase the adhesion forces when one of the surfaces is rough. The resistance to shear is also examined, and it is shown that bridge splitting on a rough surface can lead to a steady capillary-induced shear force that scales linearly with translation velocity, even in the absence of contact-line pinning.

description: In recent decades, the pervasive integration of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has catalyzed substantial transformations, positioning ICT as a pivotal subject within economic analysis and as a catalyst for growth. Nonetheless, it is imperative to acknowledge that the adoption of ICT exhibits a pronounced discrepancy between developed and developing regions. This study delves into the landscape of ICT adoption, particularly focusing on the substantial variance in utilization levels across different global regions. Drawing on data from Internet World Stats (2017), which reveals a strikingly low internet penetration rate in Africa—merely 353 million internet users out of a total global population of 3 billion—the study elucidates the considerable digital divide between Africa and other developed regions such as Europe, where internet penetration rates soar as high as 77%. The discourse unfolds by contextualizing the critical importance of ICT adoption within the broader framework of economic analysis and growth dynamics. Through an examination of pertinent literature and empirical evidence, the study underscores the pivotal role that ICT plays as a driver of economic development, innovation, and productivity enhancement. Furthermore, it probes into the various factors contributing to the stark contrast in ICT adoption rates between developed and developing nations, ranging from infrastructural constraints and socioeconomic disparities to policy frameworks and institutional environments.

description: The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007 (Pub.L. 110-81, 121 Stat. 735, enacted September 14, 2007) was passed by the U.S. Congress in order “to strengthen public disclosure requirements concerning lobbying activity and funding. It placed more restrictions on gifts for members of Congress and their staff, and provides for mandatory disclosure of earmarks in expenditure bills.” Treating this event as a natural experiment, we examine how this legislation affected the Cumulative Abnormal Returns (CARs) of firms that lobbied in the year(s) leading up to the passing of the legislation. We find that companies that lobbied in the years leading up to the legislation significantly underperformed the market in the days surrounding the passage of the legislation.

description: Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) have received significant attention recently as an innovation for enhanced connectivity, capacity, and energy efficiency in future wireless networks. Recent works indicate that such RIS-augmented communications can significantly enhance performance by intelligently shaping the characteristics of the multipath propagation environment to focus the energy in a desired direction and to circumvent impediments such as blockage, especially for communication at millimeter-wave (mmW), Terahertz (THz) and higher frequencies. In this paper, we investigate optimized (amplitude and phase) RIS design in a point-to-point multipath MIMO link and study the impact on link capacity under the assumption of perfect channel state information at the transmitter (TX), receiver (RX) and RIS. Specifically, we propose RIS design based on the maximization of the trace of the composite TX-RIS-RX link matrix which is a measure of the average power at the RX. We propose two RIS designs: a diagonal RIS matrix, and a general RIS matrix representing a more advanced architecture. The optimum design, in both cases, corresponds to calculating the dominant eigenvector of certain Hermitian matrices induced by the component channel matrices. We illustrate the capacity performance of the optimized RIS designs and compare them to a baseline design (random amplitudes and phases) and a recently proposed low-complexity phase-only design. We present results for sparse and rich multipath, and also consider the impact of line-of-sight paths. Our results show that while all designs offer comparable capacity at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), the proposed optimum designs offer substantial gains at lower SNRs.

description: In this paper we consider a simple two-fluid model for pulsar glitches. We derive the basic equations that govern the spin evolution of the system from two-fluid hydrodynamics, accounting for the vortex mediated mutual friction force that determines the glitch rise. This leads to a simple "bulk" model that can be used to describe the main properties of a glitch event resulting from vortex unpinning. In order to model the long term relaxation following the glitch our model would require additional assumptions regarding the repinning of vortices, an issue that we only touch upon briefly. Instead, we focus on comparing the phenomenological model to results obtained from time-evolutions of the linearised two-fluid equations, i.e. a "hydrodynamic" model for glitches. This allows us to study, for the first time, dynamics that was "averaged" in the bulk model, i.e. consider the various neutron star oscillation modes that are excited during a glitch. The hydro-results are of some relevance for efforts to detect gravitational waves from glitching pulsars, although the conclusions drawn from our rather simple model are pessimistic as far as the detectability of these events is concerned.

title: Inter-Laminar Fracture of 3D-Printed Plastics - Development of Methods
Creators: name: Stolinski, Christopher
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Due to the increased use of 3D printed acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic parts, a way to quantify the failure energy (energy needed to initiate cracking) is needed. Impact tests at high rates of loading are performed to determine failure energy. Throughout testing, specimens are monitored with high speed cameras to perform camera-based deformation measurements. Data acquisition and processing methods to calculate failure energy using crack opening displacement, and loading rates are developed to enable further use by Dr. Ryan Berke’s lab at Utah State University.
title: Corn Exports Extrication

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Annual corn exports, as a percentage of total use, exhibit a persistent, downward trend starting in the mid-1970s. Changes in government policy and domestic supply-demand dynamics are widely held as the determinants for corn price movement over the same period. However, significant disputes have emerged since 2013 which attribute the last five years of corn market underperformance to minor trade vicissitudes between the U.S. and China. This report estimates a corn price determination model which demonstrates that foreign exports play an insignificant role in the U.S. corn market between 1997 and 2018.
title: Mergers of the Utah Cooperative Association in Post-War Utah, 1940-1970

description: Agricultural historians have long grappled with the causes leading to the dissolution of the farming community and their disassociation with their lands. Cooperatives were key to maintaining this relationship. The cooperative economic model sustained farmers to shape, negotiate and create a place for themselves in the 20th century agrarian landscape. Long time agricultural leaders like W.B. Robins worked to bolster cooperative ideologies and prevent integration into large scale American agribusiness between 1940 and 1970.
This plan B paper examines a series of failed mergers that Robins had intended to thwart the decline of the Utah Cooperative Association (UCA). W.B. Robins’s career as General Manager of the UCA provides a lens to examine why the cooperative mergers failed and their context to the larger decline of the Utah cooperative movement. Examining why the mergers failed sets the foundation for answering the following questions. First, what economic conditions existed that made the mergers necessary? Second, what political ideologies were exposed between competing capitalist and socialist farm organizations. Lastly, what part did religious influence of Mormon ideologies play to threaten the continuity of cooperatives and Utah agriculture as a whole? In answering these questions, this paper makes two important contributions. It updates and explains the local history of farmer cooperatives in Utah after 1940, and builds on the work of historians Hal S. Barron and Keilor Stevens, by exploring the era when Utah agriculturalists resisted and accommodated market changes.
To uncover the merger history of the UCA and its manager W.B. Robins I marry archival and secondary sources together to illustrates the history of farmer co-operatives throughout Utah and the movement’s longstanding connection with Utah State University.
Historical Costs of Coal-Fired Electricity and Implications for the Future

description: We study the costs of coal-fired electricity in the United States between 1882 and 2006 by decomposing it in terms of the price of coal, transportation costs, energy density, thermal efficiency, plant construction cost, interest rate, capacity factor, and operations and maintenance cost. The dominant determinants of costs have been the price of coal and plant construction cost. The price of coal appears to fluctuate more or less randomly while the construction cost follows long-term trends, decreasing from 1902 - 1970, increasing from 1970 - 1990, and leveling off since then. Our analysis emphasizes the importance of using long time series and comparing electricity generation technologies using decomposed total costs, rather than costs of single components like capital. By taking this approach we find that the history of coal-fired electricity costs suggests there is a fluctuating floor to its future costs, which is determined by coal prices. Even if construction costs resumed a decreasing trend, the cost of coal-based electricity would drop for a while but eventually be determined by the price of coal, which fluctuates while showing no long-term trend.

description: Theory predicts that the application of an electric field breaks the inversion symmetry of AB and BA stacked domains in twisted bilayer graphene, resulting in the formation of a triangular network of one-dimensional valley-protected helical states. This two-dimensional network of one-dimensional states has been observed in several studies, but direct experimental evidence that the electronic transport in these one-dimensional states is valley-protected is still lacking. In this study, we report the existence of the network in small-angle twisted bilayer graphene at room temperature. Moreover, by analyzing Fourier transforms of atomically resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy images of minimally twisted bilayer graphene, we provide convincing experimental evidence that the electronic transport in the counter-propagating one-dimensional states is indeed valley protected.

description: The particle-number conserving method based on the cranked shell model is adopted to investigate the possible antimagnetic rotation bands in $^{100}$Pd. The experimental kinematic and dynamic moments of inertia, together with the $B(E2)$ values are reproduced quite well. The occupation probability of each neutron and proton orbital in the observed antimagnetic rotation band is analyzed and its configuration is confirmed. The contribution of each major shell to the total angular momentum alignment with rotational frequency in the lowest-lying positive and negative parity bands is analyzed. The level crossing mechanism of these bands is understood clearly. The possible antimagnetic rotation in the negative parity $α=0$ branch is predicted, which sensitively depends on the alignment of the neutron ($1g_{7/2}$, $2d_{5/2}$) pseudo-spin partners. The two-shears-like mechanism for this antimagnetic rotation is investigated by examining the closing of the proton hole angular momentum vector towards the neutron angular momentum vector.

description: Two atomic layers of Ni condensed onto Pb films behave, according to anomalous Hall effect measurements, as magnetic dead layers. However, the Ni lowers the superconducting T_{c} of the Pb film. This has lead to the conclusion that the Ni layers are still very weakly magnetic. In the present paper the electron dephasing due to the Ni has been measured by weak localization. The dephasing is smaller by a factor 100 than the pair-breaking. This proves that the T_{c}-reduction in the PbNi films is not due magnetic Ni moments.
