description: We have identified an X-ray transient (hereafter M15 X-3) in the globular cluster M15 from an archival Chandra grating observation. M15 X-3 appears at an X-ray luminosity of 6*10^{33} ergs/s with a spectrum consistent with an absorbed power law of photon index 1.51+-0.14. The object is identifiable in archival Chandra HRC-I observations with an X-ray luminosity of 2-6*10^{31} ergs/s and apparently soft colors, suggesting a neutron star low-mass X-ray binary in quiescence. We also observe it in outburst in a 2007 Chandra HRC-I observation, and in archival 1994-1995 ROSAT HRI observations. We identify a likely optical/UV counterpart with a (possibly transient) UV excess from archival HST data, which suggests a main sequence companion. We argue that M15 X-3's behavior is similar to that of the very faint X-ray transients which have been observed in the Galactic Center. We discuss several explanations for its very low X-ray luminosity, with the assumption that we have detected its companion. M15 X-3's uniquely low extinction and well-determined distance make it an excellent target for future studies.

description: Tremendous progress in the science of extrasolar planets has been achieved since the discovery of a Jupiter orbiting the nearby Sun-like star 51 Pegasi in 1995. Theoretical models have now reached enough maturity to predict the characteristic properties of these new worlds, mass, radius, atmospheric signatures, and can be confronted with available observations. We review our current knowledge of the physical properties of exoplanets, internal structure and composition, atmospheric signatures, including expected biosignatures for exo-Earth planets, evolution, and the impact of tidal interaction and stellar irradiation on these properties for the short-period planets. We discuss the most recent theoretical achievements in the field and the still pending questions. We critically analyse the different solutions suggested to explain abnormally large radii of a significant fraction of transiting exoplanets. Special attention is devoted to the recently discovered transiting objects in the overlapping mass range between massive planets and low-mass brown dwarfs, stressing the ambiguous nature of these bodies, and we discuss the possible observable diagnostics to identify these two distinct populations. We also review our present understanding of planet formation and critically examine the different suggested formation mechanisms. We expect the present review to provide the basic theoretical background to capture the essential of the physics of exoplanet formation, structure and evolution, and the related observable signatures.

description: Random-walk Monte Carlo simulations are widely used to predict the optical properties of complex, disordered materials. In presence of large heterogeneities (e.g., spatially-extended nonscattering regions in a turbid environment), an explicit description of the micro and macrostructures and of the light propagation therein is generally required, in addition to a statistical average over a representative set of microstructures, thereby making simulations in so-called ``quenched'' disorder particularly time-consuming. We explore here the possibility to model light transport in finite-size strongly heterogeneous media without an explicit description of the underlying microstructure but from the knowledge of typical random-walk trajectories in infinite-size media, that take correlations between successive interaction events into account. Simulations may thus be performed for media of any macroscopic shape and size more efficiently. We illustrate this approach, coined ``quasiannealed'', with the case of a two-phase emulsion consisting of transparent spherical droplets dispersed in a turbid medium. Good agreement with predictions from simulations in quenched disorder on the reflectance of finite-thickness slab is found for a large set of microstructure properties and thicknesses with typical errors on the reflectance on the order of a percent.

description: Libraries worldwide are investing a significant portion of their resources in digitising their collections. Digitised formats are immensely valuable for researchers but may seem dry and unappealing to broader audiences, particularly when the original content was intended for children. This talk will present the preliminary research conducted on digitised formats of popular children's literature found in specialised libraries, focussing on the models provided by two institutions: the British Library's "Turning the Pages" software and the National Library of Spain's "Madgazine," used in the interactive editions of Don Quixote and Leonardo da Vinci’s Madrid Codex.  The discussion will revolve around the specific workflow we tested for creating a digitally enhanced edition of a collection of stories entitled "Plage of Dragons," published in 1923 and based on the Spanish adaptations of Edith Nesbit’s tales. 

The slides and transcript available in this record were delivered in November 2023 as part of the DARIAH Friday Frontiers webinar series.  The full synthesis, along with a video of the webinar, can be found at https://campus.dariah.eu/resource/posts/new-readers-for-old-texts-sharing-the-workflow-of-a-digitally-enriched-children-literature-edition

description: Nb-sheathed Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 superconducting wires have been fabricated using the powder-in-tube (PIT) method for the first time and the superconducting properties of the wires have been investigated. The transition temperature (Tc) of the Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 wires is confirmed to be as high as 35.3 K. Most importantly, Sr0.6K0.4Fe2As2 wires exhibit a very weak Jc-field dependence behavior even the temperature is very close to Tc. The upper critical field Hc2(0) value can exceed 140 T, surpassing those of MgB2 and all the low temperature superconductors. Such high Hc2 and superior Jc-field performance make the 122 phase SrKFeAs wire conductors a powerful competitor potentially useful in very high field applications.

Geology of the Ox Lake Cu - Mo porphyry deposit
Creators: name: Richards, Gordon Gwyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Ox Lake copper-molybdenum deposit is locallized in the margin and contact zone of a Late Cretaceous granodiorite porphyry. Hazelton Group rocks, including a lower Felsic Tuff, a middle Andesitic Tuff and an upper Sandstone-SiItstone, are country rocks in the area. The granodiorite porphyry is nearly circular in cross-section with a radius of 1500 feet and plunges fifty degrees west. Intrusive breccia occurs mainly along the southwestern contact of the porphyry. Nine vein types are grouped into four stages of vein development based on relative ages determined from vein intersections. They are: Stage I Potassic and Biotite Veins Stage II Propylitic and Pyrite-Chalcopyrite Veins Stage III Quartz-Molybdenite and Quartz Veins Stage IV Calcite, Gypsum and Sphalerite Veins Potassic, albitic, propylitic, sericitic and intermediate argillic alteration zones are related to host rock and position around the intrusion. In the east, an outer potassic alteration zone is separated from the intrusion by a zone of albitic-propylitic alteration. Three propylitic assemblages are distributed zonally about the intrusion. Sericitic and intermediate argillic alteration occur only in rocks of acidic composition. The intrusion is unaltered except within 100 feet of its western contact. Brecciated and unbrecciated hornfels west of the intrusion contains the highest and most persistent grades of copper and molybdenum--about 0.5 per cent copper and 0.02 per cent molybdenum. Within this zone, feldspar porphyry contains two to five times the molybdenum content and about one-half the copper content of adjacent andesitic rocks. The Ox Lake porphyry deposit is one of a group having similar geological features, that includes Len, Fab, Laura and Bergette deposits. All contain copper and molybdenum mineralization and have apparent K-Ar ages of 83 ± 3 my, except for the Bergette with an age of 76.7 ± 2.5 my [Carter and Harakal personal communication].
title: Limitations on Canada Goose Production at Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge, Utah

description: Canada geese (Branta canadensis) recently have become management problems in some areas due to overpopulation At Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). managers are concerned with the opposite situation Despite attempts to boost production, only 18 to 34 goslings of the western Canada goose (B. c. moffitti) were produced per year, from 1989 to 1993. I studied the breeding population from March to July in 1996 and 1997. Results suggest that production is limited in 3 ways: low gosling survival. low nesting success for ground nests, and low number of breeding pairs Gosling survival to fledging was 25% in 1996 and 52% in 1997. I examined the potential causes of low gosling survival, especially the effects of saline drinking water. Specific conductivities in the spring-fed marshes of the desert refuge range from 3.0 to 25.0+ μS/cm. conducted an experiment on captive wild-strain goslings. Three groups received different levels of saline \\ater as measured by specific conductivity: control (0 63 μS/cm), intermediate 12.0 ~1Slcm). and high (18.0 ~1Slcm) I found mortality only at the high level Effects on growth were growth were evident at both the intermediate and high levels, although statistically significant only at the high level. To examine the effects of saline drinking water on survival of free-ranging wild goslings, I collared and radio marked breeding adults, then monitored brood location and gosling numbers. I found that mortality was independent of specific conductivity levels on the brood-rearing impoundments. Observations suggest that the primary causes of low gosling survival involve predation and human disturbance. l compared my results lo the results of other studies. Accuracy of results appears to be related to the estimation technique used. Radio tracking of broods has the potential to be very accurate. Al Fish Springs NWR. l monitored nesting pairs. nests, and broods throughout the breeding season. Ground nests had lower nesting success in both years (56%: 41 %) than artificial nesting platforms (90%, 83%). The number of nesting pairs was 26 and 34 in 1996 and 1997, respectively. Based on these results, l made several management recommendations, including installing more artificial nesting platforms. and minimizing human disturbance.
A scholarly edition of Thomas Heywood's 1 The iron age
Creators: name: Temple, KR
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Thomas Heywood's 1 The Iron Age is a neglected play in Early Modern theatre. It is the fourth in a five-part re-telling of classical mythology inspired by Ovid, Chaucer, and Chapman's Homer. The thesis is a new critical edition of this neglected play. It includes an old-spelling transcription, a modern-spelling transcription with annotations, and a critical introduction to the play which contextualises it for a student audience. It closely follows the Internet Shakespeare Editions (ISE) Style Guide and it is contracted to be published on the Digital Renaissance Editions (DRE) website. The paratextual material simultaneously reaches for the student reader less familiar with both Early Modern theatre and mythology and a scholarly audience who wishes for a new way to read Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida. The landscape of Early Modern theatre in the tail end of the sixteenth century and early part of the seventeenth century was typified by changing trends in the theatrical landscape. Theatres such as the Red Bull‚ÄövÑvÆwhere Thomas Heywood was a principal player‚ÄövÑvÆappealed to a rowdy working class audience and pulled them in with broad plots and firework-laden special effects. The class of professional playwright‚ÄövÑvp, typified by Heywood and Dekker, show that life as a working artist, while achievable in the Early Modern period, required prolificness and the flexibility to work in multiple genres while closely following theatrical trends. It is this professional lifestyle, therefore, that can tell us more about the conditions of working in the broader theatre scene than their more artistically inclined counterparts (who often catered to a higher class of audience and were more heavily patronised by them). The critical introduction of the play builds on the links made by scholars such as Douglas Arrell and David Bevington between 1 The Iron Age and Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida. Dating the composition of the The Iron Age plays and their predecessor, Troye, leads to a clearer understanding of which way the chain of influence goes between Heywood and Shakespeare‚ÄövÑvÆa pair who had collaborated on Sir Thomas More. The introduction also explores Heywood's wish to have the Age plays in an annotated edition of his own that represented a significant educative project which he outlines in his An Apology for Actors. This educative project focuses most prominently in the way he deploys mythic narrative devices and the subject matter of mythology itself. It offers models of reading the five Age plays both separately and as a contiguous whole.

Creators: name: St.Onge, Joseph
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: Exploration has been a common literary topic throughout the history of humans. However, much of this historical tradition bas possessed a fairly narrow Ill focus, emphasizing the drama and heroics of an individual explorer or concentrating on a description of a particular exploration. There has been little attempt at understanding the process of exploration and placing this important process in context with the historic and geographic phenomena that both affect and are affected by it. In this thesis, the author has broken the process of exploration down into a theoretical structure that is presented in a holistic model. This model has then been applied to the history of 15th century Portuguese exploration to test its applicability and usefulness.

description: We extend the Standard Model with the general effective Hamiltonian for the quark level transition $c \to s \ell ν$ with a complete set of four fermion operators including right-handed neutrinos. The current experimental measurements in charm decays are compatible with the Standard Model predictions and are used to constrain the new physics. With the available experimental data, we fit a $χ^2$ function to get the best-fit values of the NP WCs. We investigate the impact of allowed new physics in the observables such as differential branching fraction, forward-backward asymmetry, lepton polarization asymmetry, and convexity parameter in the semileptonic decay $B_c^+ \to B_s μ^+ ν_μ$. The different types of new physics scenarios have significant effects on these considered observables. The future experimental information of these observables can help to disentangle the structure of new physics.

title: Energy, Fractal Movement Patterns, and Scale-Dependent Habitat Relationships of Urban and Rural Mule Deer
Creators: name: McClure, Mark F
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: I studied the behaviors, movement dynamics, habitat relationships, and population characteristics of Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) using urban and rural winter ranges in Cache Valley, Utah , from January 1994 to February 1998. There were 2 goals to my research endeavors. The first was to assess how and why the behaviors and demographic characteristics of urban deer differed from those of rural deer. The second was to assess the scale-dependent responses to habitat and the scale-dependent patterns of habitat use by deer living in each area. To accomplish the first goal, I compared the prevalence of migration, the spatial and temporal patterns of migration, and the spatial patterns of home range use between urban and rural deer. I also compared deer reproduction and population density in each area. I then explain how behavioral and demographic dissimilarities between urban and rural deer may have corresponded to differences in their net energetic gains (NEG) on seasonal ranges. These explanations, when combined graphically, generated a time-specific hypothesis of lower NEG by urban deer on a year-round basis. To accomplish the second goal, I developed new methodologies for analyzing animal movement pathways (which represent signatures of how animals respond to habitat), and animal patterns of habitat use . These methodologies explicitly incorporated the effects of spatial scale by employing fractal geometry and information theory. The results of these analyses showed that urban and rural deer responded to their habitats in similar ways at coarse resolutions of analysis (100-600 m), but differently at fine resolutions of analysis ( 4-60 m). I argue that similarities in habitat response at coarse resolutions reflected a common movement process that allowed deer maximize use of their home ranges while minimizing energetic expenditures. With respect to patterns of habitat use, urban deer concentrated in areas with concealment vegetation , which was highly fragmented across all resolutions of analysis. Rural deer, on the other hand, dispersed throughout areas containing shrubby vegetation at fine resolutions, and south-facing slopes at coarse resolutions. Interpretation of these results is discussed in detail.
title: Reproductive Allocation and Survival in Grasshoppers: Effects of Resource Availability, Grasshopper Density, and Parasitism
Creators: name: Branson, David Heath
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: A major challenge in ecology is to understand intraspecific variation in life histories. Variation in resource availability can lead to differences in reproductive allocation and life histories. Grasshoppers are a good organism for the study of variation in life histories, since they exhibit life history plasticity in response to biotic and environmental factors. An optimality model for grasshoppers was developed that predicts optimal total allocation to reproduction and optimal effort-per-offspring as functions of resource availability and mortality. Relative allocation to reproduction is predicted to increase with resource availability, while relative allocation to survival declines. A resource-based trade-off between egg size and number does not exist, as optimal egg size is predicted to be independent of resource intake. I examined if changes in reproductive allocation and survival of Melanoplus sanguinipes (Fabricus) under a range of resource availabilities fit the predictions of the model. The patterns of reproductive allocation and survival in the field were in qualitative agreement with the predictions.
I examined the importance of density, resources, and parasitism on the life history patterns of grasshoppers. I conducted an experiment to examine if differences in reproductive allocation of M. sanguinipes are primarily explained by exploitative competition. Per capita resource availability explained a significant amount of the variation in reproduction , as expected with exploitative competition. M. sanguinpes grasshoppers appeared to trade off resource allocation to reproduction for that of allocation to survival, because per capita resource availability did not affect survival.
Careful examinations of changes in life history characteristics in response to parasitism are lacking, despite the fact that parasites often influence resource availability for the host. I investigated the effects of a grasshopper ectoparasitic mite on grasshopper reproduction and survival. Mites had small effects on grasshopper survival. As predicted, both species had reduced initial and total reproduction, and completed development of a lower percentage of ovarioles initiated when parasitized. These experiments act to expand our knowledge of life history theory and further our understanding of grasshopper life history variation and population fluctuations.

title: Efficacy of Guard Llamas (Lama glama) in Reducing Canid Predation on Domestic Sheep
Creators: name: Meadows, Laurie E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: Predation, especially by canid predators, is a significant cause of sheep loss for many producers. In recent years, the use of llamas to protect sheep from predators has gained recognition as a depredation control method. I conducted a field experiment to test the effectiveness of llamas in reducing canid predation on domestic sheep. Twenty-one llamas were placed with Utah sheep producers. Data collected from these flocks over 20 months were compared to similar data collected from flocks without llamas. Comparisons between treatment and control flocks included (l) proportion of flocks with losses to predators, (2) mean predation rates on ewes and lambs, and (3) lamb predation rate distributions. Two surveys were conducted during the study to assess producer opinions on the inclusion of llamas in their sheep management programs.
In all 3 comparisons of lamb losses between treatments and controls, losses sustained by control flocks in Lambing Season l (LS l) were significantly higher than those of flocks with llamas. Among treatment flocks, losses were similar for LS l and Lambing Season 2 (LS2). Among controls, LS2 losses dropped to the level of treatment flocks. My results suggest predation may have to reach some threshold before guard llamas have an effect on losses. Results of surveys of producers with llamas indicated they support the use of llamas as guard animals for sheep.

description: Experimental control over the strength and angular dependence of interactions between atoms is a key capability for advancing quantum technologies. Here, we use microwave dressing to manipulate and enhance Rydberg-Rydberg interactions in an atomic ensemble. By varying the cloud length relative to the blockade radius and measuring the statistics of the light retrieved from the ensemble, we demonstrate a clear enhancement of the interaction strength due to microwave dressing. These results are successfully captured by a theoretical model that accounts for the excitation dynamics, atomic density distribution, and the phase-matched retrieval efficiency. Our approach offers a versatile platform for further engineering interactions by exploiting additional features of the microwave fields, such as polarization and detuning, opening pathways for new quantum control strategies.

title: Rangeland Resources Monitoring: Concepts and Practical Applications
Creators: name: Bobwski, Benny R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: How does one person manage and monitor a half million acres of rangelands towards a sustainable future? Through a journey that begins with the understanding of sustainability, I explore the monitoring concept, two -of its applications, and summarize with an emphasis on the art and science of management. Sustainability is a concept that confuses many managers because it is so complex. However, if one considers adaptability as the complement to sustainability, and realizes that an adaptable organism is a sustainable organism, then a manager can relate because the emphasis shifts from that of stability for the future to that of uncertainty for today. The need for monitoring becomes self-evident as it is used to observe the environment and warn people against the presence of variables thought to be harmful.
Interestingly, professionals who monitor rangelands have not adopted statistical power analysis to aid in change detection. Moreover, range professionals do not have many tools to monitor a half million acres in a statistically and biologically meaningful way. I explored the role of power analysis in evaluating range trend data. In addition, I tested a low aerial photography method for monitoring vegetation cover across rangeland landscapes.
The investigations revealed that when monitoring is used as a feedback loop, the information acquired would likely facilitate adaptability and therefore sustainability of resources and people. However, most monitoring programs offer limited information of low statistical power at an inappropriate scale. Therefore, monitoring information should be used with ancillary scientific information to direct decisions, not drive them. We will continue to rely upon both the art and science of management to keep us following a path towards sustainability.
title: A Rationale for Furrow Irrigation System Design and Management
Creators: name: Hamad, Safa Noori
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1976

description: Mathematical and computerized models are developed to design and optimize furrow irrigation systems. The optimization process starts with land grading design, if any is needed, followed by a prediction of maximum non-erosive furrow stream size allowed on a given soil and the associated furrow-advance function. An average depth of application per irrigation is then assumed from which the wetting pattern along the furrow and the amounts of runoff water are predicted. A design of an Irrigation Runoff Recovery System, IRRS, is then executed, if desired, and system cost is determined. Using the predicted wetting pattern and the appropriate Crop Production Function, the gross return and the net farm profit associated with that particular average depth of application per irrigation are determined . The iterative procedure is continued by changing the average depth of application per irrigation and evaluating net farm profit until a depth and the associated system design and management program which yield the highest net profit are found.
A Fortran IV detailed computer program is developed to perform the above procedure. The program is comprehensive and very flexible so that it can be used both for research and practical design purposes and can accommodate further improvements and expansion. The results of sensitivity analysis conducted to study the effect on net farm profit of ten major design and management factors are included. Numerous conclusions, suggestions, and recommendations to improve furrow irrigation system design and operation are presented.

description: We study a $PT$-symmetric quantum mechanical model with an O(N)-symmetric potential of the form $m^{2}\vec{x}^{2}/2-g(\vec{x}^{2})^{2}/N$ using its equivalent Hermitian form. Although the corresponding classical model has finite-energy trajectories that escape to infinity, the spectrum of the quantum theory is proven to consist only of bound states for all $N$. We show that the model has two distinct phases in the large-$N$ limit, with different scaling behaviors as $N$ goes to infinity. The two phases are separated by a first-order phase transition at a critical value of the dimensionless parameter $m^{2}/g^{2/3}$, given by $3\cdot2^{1/3}$.

Creators: name: Zakrajsek, Edward J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2001

description: Bird strikes (collisions between birds and aircraft) pose a significant threat to aviation safety. For example, Naval Air Facility El Centro, California, lost an F-18 jet to a bird strike in October 1995. To help combat the bird-strike threat at Naval Air Facility El Centro, I developed a bird-avoidance model as a risk-management tool for the installation. It can be used to schedule flights at NAF El Centro and its two associated practice-bombing ranges during times of low-bird activity. I calculated bird-strike risks and published them in web-page format on both the installation's server and the USGS/Utah State University, College of Natural Resources' server for easy access by flight crews, flight-safety officers, airfield managers, natural resource managers, and other Navy personnel.
Bird hazards during daylight hours were quantified using daily bird counts through the year 2000. These were combined with a bird-hazard index for various species, developed using U.S. Air Force bird-strike records. Nocturnal bird hazards were quantified in the fall of 2000 using a bird-radar system to count birds in three relative size classes. Large- and medium-sized birds were scaled to represent a higher risk to aircraft than small birds. Nocturnal bird hazards beyond the fall study were estimated using U.S. Air Force bird-strike records.
The main section of the web page allows the user to select the area and time of year, which links to the appropriate color-coded bird-strike-risk graph. The graphs describe the bird-strike risk by time of day and altitude with red for high risk, yellow for moderate risk, and green for low risk. The web page also identifies and describes the most hazardous bird species in the area, recommends methods of hazard management, and provides links to bird-strike-information sources on the web.
Teaching history in primary schools : a North West Tasmanian case
Creators: name: Parker, DL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

description: It is argued that history education, particularly in primary school settings, is an under researched area of the curriculum in Australia. A widely agreed aim of history teaching is to prepare students for an active civic life and the results of this research suggest that teachers use history teaching as a way to build a collective or community identity for students. Qualitative research methodology was employed for its adaptability and the strong tradition of its use in the history education research community. Teachers from the Circular Head Federation of State Primary Schools were invited into individual, semi structured interviews whilst completing a photo sorting activity of potential local history learning sites. The use of photos as symbolic forms of representation is seen as a powerful way to engage meaning making by participants. Grounded theory was employed for analysis of the views expressed. One view noted as important is the transmission of 'Our Story', to create a collective/ community identity. 'Our Story' is created by favouring local and dominant voices in the historical record. It is argued that history teaching which does not include multiple perspectives and global identities narrows students' ability to create a meaningful sense of collective/ community identity within the realities of modern pluralistic society. Within the context of national curriculum transition, this study provides an opportunity for the history education community to understand the views primary level teachers in one local school federation hold about history teaching and how history curriculum is enacted in the primary classroom.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are topological spin textures promising for future high-density and nonvolatile memory. It is crucial to understand the current-driven skyrmion dynamics in the presence of deformation, of which an analytical model, however, remains elusive. Here we extend Thiele's model by considering both the radial and tangential forces. Our model attributes the skyrmion deformation to the current-induced rotational symmetry breaking, which includes magnetization canting and domain wall width variation. Our predictions of skyrmion radius and nonlinear dynamics are consistent with micromagnetic simulation results. Besides, we show that by applying an in-plane magnetic field, the deformation of a skyrmion can be suppressed, and even the compression of a skyrmion can be achieved. Our model provides a generic way to analyze the skyrmion deformation and may inspire applications based on nonlinear skyrmion dynamics.

description: We generalize the idea of chainwise stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) [Kuznetsova \textit{et al.} Phys. Rev. A \textbf{78}, 021402(R) (2008)] to a photoassociation-based chainwise atom-molecule system, with the goal of directly converting two-species atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) into a ground polar molecular BEC. We pay particular attention to the intermediate Raman laser fields, a control knob inaccessible to the usual three-level model. We find that an appropriate exploration of both the intermediate laser fields and the stability property of the atom-molecule STIRAP can greatly reduce the power demand on the photoassociation laser, a key concern for STIRAPs starting from free atoms due to the small Franck-Condon factor in the free-bound transition.

title: Incidental Vocabulary Acquisition in Middle School: An Examination of Three Instructional Conditions
Creators: name: Lee, David B
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: The importance of vocabulary knowledge gained through incidental learning is well documented. The growth of incidental vocabulary knowledge is especially crucial for middle school students due to the complex words encountered in their studies. However, research on incidental vocabulary acquisition for middle school students is lacking. The purpose of this study was to compare the relative effectiveness of three instructional conditions (reading, writing, and reading and writing) on incidental vocabulary acquisition and retention with middle school students in an English as a first language (L1) environment. In this within subjects repeated measure study, 263 eighth-grade participants received treatment in three instructional conditions with three differing levels of involvement load. Data from 2,893 individual student measures were used to evaluate the influence of instructional conditions on incidental vocabulary acquisition and retention. Analysis of mixed-effects models showed that participant scores on the reading and writing condition were consistently higher than the writing only or the reading only condition. These results indicate that instructional tasks with higher involvement loads (e.g., reading and writing or writing) offer benefits to L1 middle school students for the incidental vocabulary acquisition necessary to be academically successful.

title: Effect of Foliage and Root Carbon Quantity, Quality, and Fluxes on Soil Organic Carbon Stabilization in Montane Aspen and Conifer Stands in Utah
Creators: name: Boča, Antra
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Forest soils store as much carbon (C) as the vegetation that grows on them, and the carbon in soil is more stable than the C in biomass. Quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) is the most widespread tree species in North America, and aspen forests in the Western US have been found to store more soil organic carbon (SOC) in the mineral soil than nearby conifers. Fire exclusion and grazing often promote the succession of aspen to conifer dominated forests due to their effect on aspen regeneration. So far the factors driving the differential SOC accumulation, and the effects of the vegetation shift on SOC pools, are not well understood.
In this dissertation I aimed to evaluate how various forest vegetation characteristics – tree type, detritus fluxes, detritus chemistry – affect SOC pools and stability from a global to a molecular level using two contrasting forest types – aspen and conifer. A meta-analysis showed that, while conifer forests worldwide had higher C pools in the forest floor, this difference did not translate into the mineral soil, suggesting that the mechanisms that control SOC storage differ between both soil compartments. Above- and belowground detritus input fluxes were similar between aspen and conifer forests, and did not explain the higher SOC pools under aspen. A sorption study revealed that the more labile aspen foliage dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was more effectively retained in soil than aspen root, and conifer substrate DOC. Furthermore, soils that contained aspen SOC retained new DOC better than soils with conifer SOC, irrespective of the source of the DOC. Finally, foliage and root specific compounds that were identified for aspen and subalpine fir provide a base for future studies aiming to identify the source of SOC under both overstory types.
Overall, the results of the dissertation suggest that substrate chemistry more than detritus fluxes drive the differences between SOC pools under aspen and conifer forests in Utah. This finding indicates that the link between C input amounts and SOC pools is not as direct as currently assumed in most SOC models. Furthermore, a tree species effect on SOC as distinct as aspen vs conifer is not common between all hardwood and conifer comparisons worldwide, thus suggesting that the effect of vegetation can be overridden by other factors.

description: Input files of classical molecular dynamics simulations with LAMMPS employed to investigate deep eutectic solvents based on choline chloride. Following abbreviations were employed for the systems: U: Choline chloride and urea TU: Choline chloride and thiourea MU: Choline chloride and methylurea 13MU: Choline chloride and 1,3-dimethylurea 11MU: Choline chloride and 1,1-dimethylurea EU: Choline chloride and N,N-ethyleneurea The molar ration is 1:2 in all cases. "U.data" contains the force field parameters and molecular topology of the investigated systems. "U-NPT.inp" and "U-NVT.inp" are the LAMMPS input files of the NPT and NVT simulations, respectively. In some cases, the initial steps of the NPT simulations force the system too fast to a cubic box. In this case, the job was restarted from the last restart file. "MU-restart.inp" is given as an example. The NVT simulations were always started with the NPT restart file.
