title: Estimating Cattle Density Using Wildlife Cameras
Creators: name: Bonebrake, Emily
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Quantifying the abundance and distribution of animal populations is critical for effective wildlife research and management. Due to their cost-effectiveness, wildlife cameras have become an increasingly popular tool for estimating population densities. Previously, this technique relied on ‘capture-recapture’ models that utilized re-sightings of individually marked animals, but in recent years methods have been developed to estimate the population densities of unmarked animals. One such method is the random encounter and staying time (REST) technique, which does this by assuming that the cumulative time animals stay within the view of the camera scales linearly with the number of individuals. This allows for a density estimate without the need to determine individual identity. To evaluate the accuracy and precision of the REST method, I compared cattle (Bos taurus) density estimates based on trail-camera photos to the actual number of cattle stocked on a U.S. Forest Service (USFS) grazing allotment. Photos were collected across 96 motion-activated cameras distributed across a single grazing allotment in Spanish Fork, Utah. Based on the USFS grazing plan, the allotment operated under a rest-rotation grazing system, and therefore was divided into three pastures, only one of which held cattle at any given time in the year. Based on this plan cattle numbers also varied throughout the year according to a set schedule. For each stocking period and pasture, we generated REST-based abundance estimates, including empirical confidence bounds derived using either spatial or temporal averaging. Our results indicate very poor agreement between REST-based estimates and USFS stocking rates, where, at the allotment level, the former are typically 50-350% higher than the latter. Whether this indicates REST-based estimates are biased or inaccurate is hard to say; there is no doubt our cameras had detected cows (sometimes a lot of cows) in places and times that no cows should have been in based on USFS records. We thus have little confidence in the reliability of these records. As for precision, coefficient of variation values for our estimates ranged between 0.1 and 0.5 (depending on the number of active camera days used to calculate the estimate, and on whether densities were averaged across space or across time). This indicates that REST-based estimates are at least precise enough to be reasonably consistent across time (and to a lesser degree, space), and may hence be a valuable tool at the hand of wildlife managers.

Abstract
title: Regression Tree Predictive Filter
Creators: name: Worthen, Jarren
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Many algorithms have been developed to predict future samples of a signal. These algorithms, such as the recursive least squares predictive filter, rely on the assumption that the system generating the signal can be modeled as a linear system of equations. These systems perform poorly when used to predict signals generated by non-linear systems. To predict a non-linear signal, non-linear methods must be used. Regression trees are a simple form of machine learning that is non-linear in nature and can predict output based on a set of given input. The goal of this capstone project was to develop an algorithm for a regression trees predictive filter capable of predicting a non-linear signa. As this capstone was also an engineering design project it was also the goal to have the algorithm be a part of software system capable of allowing the parameters of the algorithm to be changed for testing. This paper details how the algorithm was developed as well as its results. It was found that using certain non-linear input signals that the regression trees predictive filter performed better at predicting than a traditional linear predictive filter. It was also shown that the regression trees predictive filter was able to adapt to a non-linear signal generated by a changing system. In testing on the changing non-linear signal, the filter was compared to a system which reset its prediction model rather than adapt it like the regression trees predictive filter. The regression trees predictive filter had better performance than this resetting system. This shows that the regression trees predictive filter can adapt to a system in such a way that it learned from it.

Creators: name: Helbrecht, Christiane
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Papierbasierte mikrofluidische Analysesysteme können ideale Diagnosetechnologien sein, insbesondere für kostengünstige Diagnosen. Für die endgültige Anwendung besteht jedoch noch Forschungsbedarf. Dies gilt insbesondere für das verwendete Papier. Für die Entwicklung papierbasierter mikrofluidischer Analysesysteme ist die Kenntnis der Zusammenhänge zwischen Papierstruktur, Herstellungsprozess und Eigenschaftsprofil von entscheidender Bedeutung. Ziel ist es, maßgeschneiderte Papiere mit den gewünschten Eigenschaften herstellen zu können. Im Hinblick auf papierbasierte mikrofluidische Analysesysteme ist die Porenstruktur, insbesondere die Porenstruktur in anisotropen Papieren, von besonderem Interesse.
Zunächst wurde ein Verfahren entwickelt, mit dem mikrocomputertomographische Aufnahmen von Papier segmentiert und der Porenraum in einzelne Poren unterteilt werden kann. Weiterhin werden Möglichkeiten zur Charakterisierung der Poren aufgezeigt.
Anschließend werden die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Fasereigenschaften und der Papierstruktur sowie dem Herstellungsprozess, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Porenstruktur sowie den Wassertransport durch das anisotropische Papier, analysiert. Dafür wurden vier verschiedene Zellstoffe aus Eukalyptussulfat, Birkensulfat, Baumwolllinters sowie ein gebleichter Kraftzellstoff aus Kiefer und Fichte mit unterschiedlichen spezifischen Mahlenergien und Fraktionierstufen verwendet. Es wurden Papiere mit unterschiedlichem Faserorientierungsgrad hergestellt und geprüft. Es kann beobachtet werden, dass die Papiereigenschaften stark vom verwendeten Zellstofftyp abhängen. Zudem steigt die Fließgeschwindigkeit von Wasser innerhalb der Papierebene mit abnehmender spezifischer Mahlenergie und zunehmendem Anteil an Fasern, welche in Strömungsrichtung orientiert sind. Durch die gezielte Dosierung von Feinstoffen ins Papier konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Faserorientierung sowie die Fließgeschwindigkeit mit steigendem Feinstoffgehalt abnehmen.
In weiteren Versuchen wurden Papiere mit lokal unterschiedlichen Papiereigenschaften unter Verwendung des „Faserdruckers“ durch Variation des Zellstoffs sowie von Herstellungsparametern hergestellt. Dadurch ist es möglich, den Wassertransport durch das Papier lokal zu beeinflussen. Mit chemisch modifizierten Fasern konnte Papier mit lokal hydrophilen sowie hydrophoben Bereichen hergestellt werden. Das Anwendungspotential wird abschließend diskutiert.

title: Bridging the Divide Between Upper and Lower Classmen: Resources for Mentors and Freshmen in the Choral Education Program
Creators: name: Pruett, Tanner Hancock
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The recent decline in student retention in the choral education program at Utah State University should be cause for concern. Students who are excited and passionate about choir are leaving choral education and/or dropping out of college entirely. However, research into college retention rates and the experiences of choral education students at USU has helped explain this decline in student retention.
My review of research about college retention rates indicates that some of the biggest reasons that students drop out of college are academic difficulty, interpersonal difficulties, and mental health. It also indicates students with a strong sense of support from teachers and friends at their college have a greater likelihood of graduating. The research also indicates that identifying “at-risk” students and directing university resources towards those students has a high chance of increasing student retention between their freshmen and sophomore year.
My research also included interviewing previous and current choral education students from USU about their experience in the program. After carefully reviewing their answers and suggestions, it is clear that this choral education program is missing key aspects of student support that promote retention. At the end of this academic review, I have outlined three major changes to the program that will likely increase student retention by providing new resources to students through USU’s chapter of The American Choral Directors Association (ACDA).

title: Anticipatory Intelligence Resilience Modeling Evaluation of ASPIRE Research Center
Creators: name: Alder, Madeleine
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: The analysis of threats and vulnerabilities in a system is essential in developing resilience strategies to strengthen the system’s ability to adapt and succeed. This report delivers a threat analysis of ASPIRE, a research organization centered on engineering solutions for promoting electric vehicle (EV) adoption. ASPIRE, which is an international network of university research partners and comprised primarily of engineering teams, is focused on developing technology that can be used by industry or governmental partners. The threat of low public buy-in for ASPIRE technology is one of the most significant concerns facing the system. Low adoption rates or public resistance against the company could lessen ASPIRE’s operational success and funding potential.
The ASPIRE system has strengths that improve its resilience, as well as vulnerabilities that put the system at greater risk of failing because of this threat. Existing community partnerships strengthen ASPIRE’s resistance to the threat of low public buy-in, but the company could benefit by increasing outreach to key stakeholders. The enthusiasm of ASPIRE employees about the company’s mission helps the company succeed in the face of risks. Additionally, ASPIRE’s varied research focuses allow it to retain its core purpose if one project fails. However, ASPIRE’s ability for threat recovery is potentially lowered because of reliance on public funding; proving worth to funders is challenging if ASPIRE projects fail to achieve public support.
The conclusion of this threat analysis is a set of recommendations to improve the system’s resilience potential. These recommendations include the implementation of training and project reporting so that every ASPIRE engineer includes an evaluation of public buy-in potential in their research process. Another recommendation is to increase marketing efforts to improve external perceptions of ASPIRE and address key concerns like product safety and usefulness. The final suggestion is to increase partnerships with industry members and community stakeholders. This builds ASPIRE’s recovery potential by positioning the organization in an advantageous place for future funding.

description: There is no doubt that Cryptocurrency is a word that provokes a very strong response these days. On one hand, Team Crypto proclaimers the arena as the next big thing as they speak in blue sky terms about the future of this new form of currency that takes digital shape and is beyond restriction. In direct opposition is Team Tradition that warns of the perils of decentralization and fraud around pure digital currency. Indeed, there was nothing short of a frenzy around trading on the CBOE Bitcoin futures a few days ago, while the day after reports detailed a large digital heist surrounding Ethereum. Doomsday sentiment around this new area of tech convergence with thaof the financial spectrum is plentiful. Just why is there so much fear around the area of cryptocurrency, and what will 2018 mean for this pioneering area, particularly as we move to a general cashless society that is easily driven and adopted by the massive Millennial demographic?

description: The purpose of this project was to create a tool that could automate English-to-IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription. Research was done to determine what would be required to perform such a transcription. After researching and experimenting with existing tools, it was determined that developing the signal processing and Artificial Intelligence model portion of the application would be too intensive to successfully complete within the timeframe of this project.
The choice was made to develop an iOS application, with the Python library Allosaurus used to do the speech processing and as the Artificial Intelligence model. This model was then deployed in the cloud using AWS, and the two components, iOS and cloud, were then integrated to work together. The deployed cloud model was placed behind a secure API layer, requiring authentication for access, to ensure security and consistency of requests. The final application functions as intended and is capable of performing the desired transcriptions. The application follows conventional iOS user interface styling so-as to be conducive to easy pickup by the intended users, Speech Therapists.
The application is not yet ready for public release, due to the inability to meet some accuracy and security requirements that were originally specified. However, the researcher has plans to continue the work beyond the scope of this project and presents ideas for how to solve the current problems the application is facing. Additionally, the researcher discusses ethical considerations of the project, and supplies a User Guide with non-technical instructions for operating the application.

title: Maternal Effects and Management of Alfalfa Leafcutting Bees
Creators: name: Johnson, Makenna May
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Most bees are solitary and important contributors to pollination of a variety of crops. Solitary bees do not live in colonies. Instead, females work individually to construct nests and provision nutrients for each offspring. However, solitary bees can be difficult to manage, especially on a large scale like honey bees, because of differences in how species provision for their offspring and construct nests. Variations in the timing of offspring development to adulthood even within species makes commercial management difficult. Variations in reproductive strategy, like how many offspring to make, how much provision to give each, and when to make them can be influenced by external factors like changes in day length or temperature. Variations in reproductive strategy can also occur based on the maternal environment, or condition of the mother and what she experiences. Some bees halt their development when resources are scarce or weather is not favorable entering a state called diapause. In one species of solitary bees, the alfalfa leafcutting bee (ALCB), Megachile rotundata, some offspring forgo pausing their development and instead emerge as adults the same generation they were born. This results in a loss of pollinators for the following growing season.
ALCB are the most managed solitary species and one common management practice for ALCBs is to slow their development in the spring to better align crop bloom and bee emergence, though the effects of this practice are not well known. This is done by placing bees, after they complete diapause, into cool temperatures to slow their development. From preliminary data we found that cool stalling decreases maternal nutritional condition by reducing the amount of lipids. We hypothesized that the loss of bees in the same season they were laid is due to a maternal effect as a result from the practice of cool stalling, but what this maternal effect is and how it passes to offspring is unknown.
We set up an experiment to investigate the effects of maternal nutritional condition on offspring outcome and diapause. We found that external factors like photoperiod and time of season were always significant predictors of offspring development and outcome. We found that females that experienced longer times in cool stalling had less lipids, produced fewer offspring and made smaller provisions for their offspring. These females that experienced longer cool stalling also made fewer diapausing offspring, specifically fewer female diapausing offspring. We also found maternal nutritional condition reflected in offspring development and outcome through differences in mass provision sizes. Cool stalling decreases maternal nutritional condition and the poor condition leads to less offspring overall and specifically fewer female bees, pollinators, for the next season.

title: High School Biology Teachers' Integration of Argumention in the Context of Disciplinary Literacy Coaching
Creators: name: Strong, Ashley
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Scientific argumentation is a core scientific practice. Although scientific argumentation has been linked to increased learning of scientific content, improved reading, writing, and critical thinking, traditional science classrooms have not included scientific argumentation. Teachers often have little experience learning or teaching science through argumentation and need support to integrate this complex practice of science into their classrooms. This study compared four high school biology teachers’ instruction of scientific argumentation as they worked with a literacy coach. Data were collected through interviews, audio recordings of classroom instruction and literacy coaching sessions, and artifacts. After analyzing the data, several key findings stood out from this study. First, all of the teachers incorporated instruction that research has identified as supportive of student learning of scientific argumentation. Second, the teachers’ learning goals or purposes for scientific argumentation informed the decisions they made as they incorporated scientific argumentation. Third, teacher experiences were especially important in teachers’ instructional decisions when their beliefs and experiences were contradictory. Finally, all teachers, regardless of the amount of argumentation instruction they incorporated into their classroom developed better understandings of scientific argumentation and best practices to support student learning.

title: Natural History and Development of  Melittobia acasta  on  Megachile rotunda
Creators: name: Anderson, Alan R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2022

description: Alfalfa is one of the most economically important crops in North America. To produce alfalfa seed, a pollinator must release plant reproductive organs by applying pressure to keel petals. The alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata, is the primary commercial pollinator of alfalfa. U.S. bee managers struggle to maintain populations due to many mortality factors. One cause is attack from parasitoid wasps such as Melittobia acasta. Females can lay hundreds of eggs and have multiple generations, which can decimate bee stocks. Chapter Two investigates the life cycle and base temperature that allows development of M. acasta on bee hosts. In each of 20 vials, I exposed four bee larvae (prepupae) to several wasps and kept them at 30°C. Wasp progenies were observed daily until death. I described 12 distinct life stages, and adult wasps emerged in 16 to 20 days. I also raised M. acasta from eggs to adults along a temperature gradient bar. Statistical analysis revealed the minimum temperature for development was 8.5°C and that development from egg to adult averaged 305.8-degree days. Chapter Three determined the M. rotundata life stages upon which wasps lay eggs and offspring survive. I also determined M. acasta female survival on resources found in bee nests (an empty cell, a provision mass with and without a bee egg, and a bee prepupa). Each nest resource was exposed to a wasp (replicated 40 times). Wasps survived an average of 5, 8, and 34 days on an empty cell, either mass provision, and the bee prepupa, respectively. I also exposed 40 replicates of bee larvae and each of the pupal stages to 10-20 wasps. Wasps laid eggs on bee prepupae and their offspring developed to adulthood, while offspring from eggs laid on pupae usually died. This showed that if a wasp emerged in the field, it could live long enough for newly developed bee prepupae to serve as hosts. This research helps in understanding leafcutting bees as hosts, alert M. acasta biology when using alfalfa s bee managers to the need for controlling these wasps during bee incubation and supports future development and application of management strategies.

description: 36. Shield-faced Leaf-nosed Bat Hipposideros lylei French: Phyllorhine de Lyle I German: Lyle-Rundblattnase I Spanish: Hiposidérido de Lyle Other common names: Shield-faced Roundleaf Bat Taxonomy. Hipposideros lylei Thomas, 1913, “Chiengdao Cave, 50 miles [= 80 km] north of Chiengmai [= Chiang Mai, northern Thailand]. Alt. 350 m.” Hipposideros lylei is in the pratti species group (3 species). Monotypic. Distribution. S China (Yunnan), E & S Myanmar, W & S Thailand, N Vietnam, and Malay Peninsula; a record from Laos has not been confirmed but the species is very likely to occur there. Descriptive notes. Head-body 72-95 mm, tail 48-55 mm, ear 30 mm, hindfoot 16-21 mm, forearm 73—84 mm. The Shield-faced Leaf-nosed Bat has enlarged fleshy lobes projecting behind posterior noseleaf. Tip is terminated into two projections around forehead. Noseleaf is very large in adult males but much smaller in females and immatures. There are two lateral leaflets on each cheek. Ears are large with triangular tip, and without antitragus. Pelage is uniformly pale gray to fight brown, or sometimes paler on ventral side. In skull, sagittal crest and zygomata are moderately developed. P2 is small and usually slightly extruded from tooth row. Habitat. Primary forest as well as some disturbed and fragmented zones in limestone areas. Food and Feeding. The Shield-faced Leaf-nosed Bat feeds on insects in the understory of primary and disturbed lowland forest Breeding. The Shield-faced Leaf-nosed Bat has been found pregnant in February and March, and young are found attached to females in late March-April. Activity patterns. The Shield-faced Leaf-nosed Bat roosts in limestone caves. Echolocation is a CF/FM type, with a call frequency of the F segment of 70-75 kHz. Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Shield-faced Leaf-nosed Bat is usually found sharing caves and mixing in the same large colonies with other large Hipposideros, such as Great Himalayan Leaf-nosed Bats (77. armiger), Diadem Leaf-nosed Bats (77. diadema), and Horsfield’s Leaf-nosed Bats (77. laruatus), but it is never abundant Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCNRed List. The Shieldfaced Leaf-nosed Bat is recorded in several protected areas throughout its range. However, like other South-east Asian cave-dwelling bats, it might be at risk because of human disturbance or limestone mining, and quarrying. Bibliography.

title: Using Cytoplasmic Biopsies to Determine Bovine Oocyte Quality

description: Embryos resulting from assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), develop with lower efficiencies than embryos resulting from their in vivo counterparts. The reasons behind the developmental discrepancies remain largely unknown. Because the egg is the primary determinant of embryo developmental success, it is reasonable to consider inherent egg quality as a possible cause. The hypothesis for this project is that there are distinct mRNA transcript patterns, or molecular “fingerprints,” that distinguish high- versus low-quality eggs developing within the same environment. In this study, a small cytoplasmic biopsy was removed from 40 eggs and stored for later use. The eggs were chemically activated to stimulate development in the absence of sperm and cultured in vitro. Following an eight-day development period, embryos that reached the blastocyst stage (success) and embryos that failed to develop were identified. This was repeated five times, for a total of six experimental replicates. The relative transcript levels of 48 genes were evaluated in the egg biopsies corresponding to successful and failed embryos using quantitative PCR. Analysis of the qPCR data revealed no significant differences in levels of transcripts for any of the 48 genes between the successful and failed development groups. Therefore, the evidence does not support differential expression between the cytoplasmic biopsies from oocytes of divergent developmental success. However, this study provides technical innovation for future research of oocyte quality.

description: This thesis explores the changes to the landscape of the Virgin River Basin by Mormon pioneers and the environment between 1854 and 1921. This thesis shows the ways in which the Mormons replaced the local vegetation of the basin with new crops and expanded the area available for farming through the use of irrigation canals and different farming techniques. Along with showing the ways in which the Mormons changed the landscape the thesis explores the ways in which environmental changes played into this process. The process of creating the new landscape of the Virgin River Basin involved both natural and human made forces, showing that the creation of a landscape is dependent on various factors. The processes found in the creation of this new landscape can be applied to the creations of new landscapes and the process of Climate Change.

description: Data scientists develop ML pipelines in an iterative manner: they repeatedly screen a pipeline for potential issues, debug it, and then revise and improve its code according to their findings. However, this manual process is tedious and error-prone. Therefore, we propose to support data scientists during this development cycle with automatically derived interactive suggestions for pipeline improvements. We discuss our vision to generate these suggestions with so-called shadow pipelines, hidden variants of the original pipeline that modify it to auto-detect potential issues, try out modifications for improvements, and suggest and explain these modifications to the user. We envision to apply incremental view maintenance-based optimisations to ensure low-latency computation and maintenance of the shadow pipelines. We conduct preliminary experiments to showcase the feasibility of our envisioned approach and the potential benefits of our proposed optimisations.

Impact of Different Atmospheric Forcing Sets on Modelling Labrador Sea  Water Production

Year: 2021

A numerical modeling sensitivity study is carried out within the Labrador Sea by varying the atmospheric conditions. From forcing NEMO simulations with five atmospheric products commonly used in ocean modeling (DFS5.2, ERA-Interim, CGRF, ERA5, and JRA55-do), we calculate the air–sea heat fluxes that occur over the Labrador Sea (2002–2015 annual-average net heat flux: −53.4, −51.0, −46.6, −58.5, and −47.9 W m−2). With differences up to 12 W m−2 in net surface heat flux averaged over a central region of the Labrador Sea, each product supplied different atmospheric conditions. While the salinity-dependent surface buoyancy fluxes were similar across all simulation, differences between each simulation's solar and nonsolar heat flux led to significant changes in the level of stratification (up to 400 J m−3), depth of the mixed layer (up to 300 m), and thickness of Labrador Sea Water (LSW; up to 300 m). Greater buoyancy loss from the Labrador Sea produced LSW with greater density. However, the production rate of LSW was not clearly affected by small changes in the surface buoyancy flux.

Surface geostrophic velocity fields derived from satellite altimetry between January 1993 and April 2014 are used to detect and investigate eddies in the North Atlantic between 40°N–55°N and 60°W–10°W. Focus is on a zonal section along 47°N, roughly at the boundary between the subpolar and the subtropical gyres. Sea surface temperature data are used to quantify the temperature anomalies associated with eddies and the respective surface temperature fluxes related to these eddies. Identified eddy pathways across 47°N are related to the mean background velocity from full-depth ship observations carried out on 11 cruises between 2003 and 2014. The analysis is repeated in two model simulations with 1/4° and 1/12° horizontal resolution, respectively, for the period 2002–2013. The analysis reveals almost 37,000 altimeter-derived eddies with a lifetime longer than 1 week in the area. The highest number of eddies is found along the pathway of the North Atlantic Current, roughly following the 4000 m isobath, and on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. Time series of temperature fluxes by eddies crossing 47°N reveal that single isolated eddies with large SST signatures contribute ∼25% to the surface temperature flux. Relating the observed eddies to the observed top-to-bottom velocity distribution at 47°N points to the existence of eddy pathways across 47°. The highest-temperature fluxes are linked to the fastest and most pronounced current branches in the western Newfoundland Basin. While there are fewer eddies in both model simulations, the key findings are consistent between the observations and the two model simulations.
