title: Promoting Client Nutrition in Urban Utah Food Pantries
Creators: name: Coombs, Casey
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Food pantry clients are at an increased risk of poor diet quality which can lead to a variety of chronic diseases. Identifying nutrition interventions that help improve the dietary intake of this vulnerable population is important to help improve health outcomes. Utah’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed), also known as Food $ense, partners with many pantries throughout the state to improve healthy food access. This research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a pantry intervention, Thumbs Up for Healthy Choices, to evaluate its impact on food pantry clients’ selection and use of identified healthy foods. In addition to program evaluation, data identifying interest in programs such as Thumbs Up, as well as common barriers that prevent pantry clients from making healthy choices was also collected and analyzed.
This research was funded through a Utah State University (USU) Extension mini-grant for $8,500. The findings will be used to guide future SNAP-Ed initiatives that aim to make the healthy choice the easy choice in food pantries. The results will also be used to build the evidence base for the Thumbs Up for Healthy Choices program, which will allow other SNAP-Ed programs throughout the country to adopt and implement this effective program.

title: pH Effects on the Sorption of Fluoxetine and Sulfamethoxazole by Three Powdered Activated Carbons
Creators: name: Schneider, James D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are widely used throughout the world. PPCPs are emerging as pollutants of concern and may pose a risk in the future to drinking water supplies. Two such compounds are sulfamethoxazole (SMXL) and fluoxetine (FLX). These ionizable compounds are not readily removed from water by conventional water treatment technologies. Powdered activated carbon (PAC) is a useful material for removing contaminants from water and is currently used in many water treatment applications. PACs may carry either a net positive or negative surface charge depending on the pH of solution. This study examined the hypothesis that the electrostatic interactions between three PACs’ surface charges and the charges of sulfamethoxazole’s and fluoxetine’s ionizable functional groups would lead to greater sorption efficiency than non-electrostatic interactions alone. Samples containing SMXL or FLX, were treated with varying doses of PAC, and mixed for three hours. The pH of samples were adjusted between experiments to determine if interaction between the polar contaminants and charged surface of PAC significantly impacted removal of the contaminant from solution. Analysis of the treated samples showed the effects of pH and varying PACs on the removal of SMXL and FLX from solution. It was observed that pH of the solution did play a significant role in the removal of contaminant in a number of the experiments, but that under other conditions where greater removal was anticipated based on predicted electrostatic interactions, it did not. These conditions included pH conditions where the contaminant existed predominantly in a negatively charged form. While not the initial focus of this study, it was observed that pore size distribution of the PACs may play a more significant role in the removal of ionizable compounds, especially in the case of fluoxetine, than electrostatic interactions.

description: By examining seven major reviews (the French “Revue des deux Mondes”, the “Revue de
Paris” and the “Nouvelle Revue”; the Italian “Nuova Antologia”, the “Rassegna
Nazionale”, the “Rivista europea” and the “Revue internationale”) this thesis investigate
the female participation in high quality journalism in Italy and France between the 1870s
and the First World War. The aim is to show that despite some obvious limitations, women
found room in that apparently very ‘male’ space of culture and emerged on a considerable
scale in all walks of the profession. Many women regularly published on high quality
reviews. Some of them even rose to high positions on editorials board. With the exception
of a few fields of knowledge – albeit fundamental to the journals’ overall structure – such
as economics, finance and matters to do with the army and the colonies, women
contributors covedered nearly all the range of subjects contained in this periodicals: not
only fiction, but also literary criticism, travelogues, politics and others. Quality and
cultural journals offered women writers a considerable space for entering the public
sphere, as both authors and readers. It may thus construed on a dual plane: as an
opportunity for women writers to join the new professional ranks of modern publishing,
but also as an important terrain for acknowledgment of their standing as intellectuals.
La condizione degli stranieri nello spazio dell'Unione Europea verso una nozione autonoma di cittadinanza europea?

Subjects: IUS/14 Diritto dell'Unione Europea

description: The thesis analyses and examines the relevant developments of EU law since the EU institutions have been granted competence in matters of  entry and residence of nationals of third countries within the space of the European Union, as governed by Title IV of the Treaty establishing the European Community (now Title V of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) and by the ensuing norms.
Based on these data my research aims to reconstruct the current state of EU legislation in matters of entry and residence of third country nationals in order to establish the extent of the EU’s competence into immigration and asylum, also in relation to the erosion of the Member States’ competence into the same areas. The most significant sign of this evolution is the recognition of the right of third-country nationals who are long-term residents to move and reside within the territory of other Member States.
The increased use of the EU’s territory by third country nationals has led to the problem of  the evolution of the concept of EU citizenship, and in particular to the most significant content of the question, namely the right to move freely. With regard to this aspect EU citizenship could be free from the requirement of nationality of a Member State, so as to be strictly related to the right of free use of the territory, as established by the internal market. This concept could also include the nationals of third countries.

description: PSZ2 G091.83+26.11 is a massive galaxy cluster with M500 = 7.43 x 10^14 Msun at z = 0.822. This object exhibits a complex morphology with a clear bimodality observed in X-rays. However, it was detected and analysed in the Planck sample as a single, spherical cluster following a universal profile [1]. This model can lead to miscalculations of thermodynamical quantities, like the pressure profile. As future multiwavelength cluster experiments will detect more and more objects at higher redshifts (where we expect the fraction of merging objects to be higher), it is crucial to quantify this systematic effect. In this work, we use high-resolution observations of PSZ2 G091.83+26.11 by the NIKA2 camera to integrate the morphological characteristics of the cluster in our modelling. This is achieved by fitting a two-halo model to the SZ image and then by reconstruction of the resulting projected pressure profile. We then compare these results with the spherical assumption.

description: We investigate the spectral fluctuation properties of constrained ensembles of random matrices (defined by the condition that a number N(Q) of matrix elements vanish identically; that condition is imposed in unitarily invariant form) in the limit of large matrix dimension. We show that as long as N(Q) is smaller than a critical value (at which the quadratic level repulsion of the Gaussian unitary ensemble of random matrices may be destroyed) all spectral fluctuation measures have the same form as for the Gaussian unitary ensemble.

description: Abstract

A Mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is highly efficient to provide network services. Due to the dynamic behavior of the network, routing protocols have some design issues that affect network performance. The proposed work is based on optimal route finding and detects a link failure to maintain the route between a source and destination node for media file transmission. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) with Ad-hoc On-demand Multipath Distance Vector protocol (AOMDV) detects a link failure and gives improvised quality of service (QoS) with local convergence while multimedia file transmitted in MANET. To provide global convergence in network swarm intelligence based GWO algorithm is used. During video files transmission Op-PKSEA algorithm shows increased through put up to 30%, packet delivery ratio up to 15% and minimize the channel load to 18% and end to end delay is minimize up to 20ms. Op-PKSEA algorithm concerning the parameters as mobility, number of nodes and packet size. The Op-PKSEA algorithm protocol maintain loop-free routing, mini mum control overhead, QoS provisioning for minimum latency, end-to-end delay, maximize packet delivery ratio and throughput.
Emerging housing policies. Affordable housing and urban property

description: Access to housing is a main challenge for contemporary urban policies. Community Land Trusts encounter a growing interest as ways to ensure affordable housing. They are based on three elements: the disjunction of land ownership from the enjoyment of housing; the limitation of the rent; the tripartite governance involving residents, the local community, and public stakeholders. CLT represents – not public nor private - housing policies aiming to ensure the right to the city for medium and low-income people and minorities. In France, a similar institution directly inspired to CLT, the Organisme de Foncier Solidaire (OFS), was included in the urban code in 2014 and many major cities have supported its development for avoiding middle-class suburbanization. This paper analyses the genesis and circulation of CLT between US and Europe, especially focusing on the French OFS. Both American and French solutions represent innovative policies characterized by a performative use of property aiming to reverse exclusivity and to contrast the urban rent promoting social access. Despite recurrent references to the CLT, OFS does not promote community participation actually seeking the contrast of real estate speculation and the control of public funds more than the general politicization of affordable housing as urban commons.

Background minimization issues for next generation hard X-ray focusing telescopes

Year: 2011
Subjects: FIS/05 Astronomia e astrofisica

description: The hard X-ray band (10 - 100 keV) has been only observed so far by collimated and coded aperture mask instruments, with a sensitivity and an angular resolution lower than two orders of magnitude as respects the current X-ray focusing telescopes operating below 10 - 15 keV.
The technological advance in X-ray mirrors and detection systems is now able to extend the X-ray focusing technique to the hard X-ray domain, filling the gap in terms of observational performances and providing a totally new deep view on some of the most energetic phenomena of the Universe.
In order to reach a sensitivity of 1 muCrab in the 10 - 40 keV energy range, a great care in the background minimization is required, a common issue for all the hard X-ray focusing telescopes. 
In the present PhD thesis, a comprehensive analysis of the space radiation environment, the payload design and the resulting prompt X-ray background level is presented, with the aim of driving the feasibility study of the shielding system and assessing the scientific requirements of the future hard X-ray missions.
A Geant4 based multi-mission background simulator, BoGEMMS, is developed to be applied to any high energy mission for which the shielding and instruments performances are required. It allows to interactively create a virtual model of the telescope and expose it to the space radiation environment, tracking the particles along their path and filtering the simulated background counts as a real observation in space.
Its flexibility is exploited to evaluate the background spectra of the Simbol-X and NHXM mission, as well as the soft proton scattering by the X-ray optics and the selection of the best shielding configuration.
Altough the Simbol-X and NHXM missions are the case studies of the background analysis, the obtained results can be generalized to any future hard X-ray telescope. For this reason, a simplified, ideal payload model is also used to select the major sources of background in LEO.
All the results are original contributions to the assessment studies of the cited missions, as part of the background groups activities.

description: Οι έννοιες της φτώχειας και του κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού παραμένουν ακόμα επίκαιρες στον αιώνα που ζούμε, παρά τις παλαιότερες ευοίωνες προβλέψεις πώς ένας συνδυασμός οικονομικής ανάπτυξης και κοινωνικής πρόνοιας θα τις είχε εξαλείψει σε μεγάλο βαθμό. Μέσα σε αυτή τη σκληρή πραγματικότητα, ένα σημαντικό ποσοστό παιδιών εξακολουθούν να ζουν σε οικογένειες τόσο φτωχές και κοινωνικά αποκλεισμένες, ώστε να διακυβεύεται η υγεία τους και η ομαλή κοινωνικοποίηση τους, καθώς ελλοχεύει ο κίνδυνος της εξαίρεσής τους από δραστηριότητες και πλεονεκτήματα που θεωρούνται αυτονόητα για άλλα συνομήλικά τους παιδιά. Ένα είδος κοινωνικής μέριμνας των κρατών, από αρχαιοτάτων χρόνων, αποτελούν τα μαθητικά συσσίτια ή τα δωρεάν σχολικά γεύματα, όπως αποκαλούνται στις μέρες μας. Με την παροχή των δωρεάν σχολικών γευμάτων θα μπορούσε να προστατευτεί η φυσική και η νοητική ανάπτυξη των παιδιών που βίωναν καταστάσεις ακραίας φτώχειας ή που αντιμετώπιζαν τον κίνδυνο ολίσθησής τους σε αυτήν. Τα φαινόμενα της φτώχειας και του κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού είναι παρόντα και στη χώρα μας και, μάλιστα, έρευνες δείχνουν πώς εντάθηκαν κατά την περίοδο της οικονομικής ύφεσης. Μέσα στο διάστημα αυτό, μία κρατική απόφαση επανέφερε τον θεσμό των δωρεάν σχολικών γευμάτων στην εκπαίδευση, προκειμένου για την ανακούφιση των συνεπειών των φαινομένων αυτών στα ευάλωτα νοικοκυριά με παιδιά. Αν και με το πέρασμα του χρόνου, η κρατική στοχοθεσία έχει αλλάξει και περιλαμβάνει πλέον την επέκταση του μέτρου σε όλα ανεξαιρέτως τα ολοήμερα σχολεία της χώρας, τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας σε περιοχές της Αθήνας με χαμηλό οικονομικό υπόβαθρο και σε οικογένειες που είναι κοινωνικά και οικονομικά ευάλωτες, έδειξαν ότι τα δωρεάν σχολικά γεύματα συντελούν στην προστασία των νοικοκυριών αυτών από τη φτώχεια, αποτελούν σημαντική βοήθεια στη διαχείριση του οικογενειακού προγραμματισμού, συμβάλλουν στην προστασία της υγιούς ανάπτυξης των παιδιών τους και ταυτόχρονα στην ομαλότερη κοινωνικοποίησή τους εντός του σχολείου.

Anderson transitions : multifractal or non-multifractal statistics of the transmission as a function of the scattering geometry

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)

description: The scaling theory of Anderson localization is based on a global conductance $g_L$ that remains a random variable of order O(1) at criticality. One realization of such a conductance is the Landauer transmission for many transverse channels. On the other hand, the statistics of the one-channel Landauer transmission between two local probes is described by a multifractal spectrum that can be related to the singularity spectrum of individual eigenstates. To better understand the relations between these two types of results, we consider various scattering geometries that interpolate between these two cases and analyse the statistics of the corresponding transmissions. We present detailed numerical results for the power-law random banded matrices (PRBM model). Our conclusions are : (i) in the presence of one isolated incoming wire and many outgoing wires, the transmission has the same multifractal statistics as the local density of states of the site where the incoming wire arrives; (ii) in the presence of backward scattering channels with respect to the case (i), the statistics of the transmission is not multifractal anymore, but becomes monofractal. Finally, we also describe how these scattering geometries influence the statistics of the transmission off criticality.

Creators: name: Whiting, Samuel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Locating a radio transmitter is important in a number of problems such as finding radio tags, people with radios, and devices that are collecting information in an unauthorized manner. Locating a radio transmitter is inherently difficult because the radio waves of concern are not in the visible spectrum, they reflect and distort easily, and they propagate at the speed of light.
A number of methods for locating transmitters are currently used, the majority of which require expensive hardware and extensive processing. This thesis presents a method of using simpler measurements to produce similar location estimates in order to augment or replace current systems. While other systems have significant advantages, the methods proposed in this thesis are advantageous because they only require easily-obtained measurements that are based on the observed power of the transmission.
The research uses simulations and experiments on real-world data collected locally to demonstrate the possibility of locating a transmitter using information of this type. The conclusion is that some methods are able to compensate for the difficulties in the problem more effectively and produce useful location estimates.
Homeric epic and Brecht’s epic theatre
Creators: name: Rosen, Charlotte
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Brecht's use of the term "Epic Theatre" invites a literal interpretation, which In turn entails an exploration of the particular elements in his dramatic and theatrical work which may correspond to comparable elements in epic. The criteria for this investigation are derived from Homeric epic and from Aristotle's epic and dramatic models as discussed in his Poetics and other works. Homeric epic and Brecht's Epic Theatre are considered with respect to elements of both structure and performance. The introduction explains the reasons for approaching the forms from these two perspectives. The opening chapters look at the operation of particular structural and performance elements in Homeric epic. The epic performance occasion and story material are both characterized by explicitly social references. They also encourage on the part of the listener a greater degree of consciousness of performance skills than does traditional drama. The following chapters examine Brecht's work in the light of the Homeric criteria previously developed. We find in Brecht's work a comparable emphasis on performance skills and an analogous influence of the social nature of the performance occasion on both dramatic and theatrical structure. The conclusion reviews the particular correspondences between the two forms and suggests that a more particular understanding of the specifically epic elements in Brecht's Epic Theatre may have applications In literary and genre theory, as well as in productions of the plays.

description: An overview is given of experimental data on Heisenberg Spin Glass materials so as to make detailed comparisons with numerical results on model Heisenberg spin glasses, with particular reference to the chiral driven ordering transition scenario due to Kawamura and collaborators. On weak anisotropy systems, experiments show critical exponents which are very similar to those estimated numerically for the model Heisenberg chiral ordering transition but which are quite different from those at Ising spin glass transitions. Again on weak anisotropy Heisenberg spin glasses, experimental torque data show well defined in-field transverse ordering transitions up to strong applied fields, in contrast to Ising spin glasses where fields destroy ordering. When samples with stronger anisotropies are studied, critical and in-field behavior tend progressively towards the Ising limit. It can be concluded that the essential physics of laboratory Heisenberg spin glasses mirrors that of model Heisenberg spin glasses, where chiral ordering has been demonstrated numerically.

description: We study orthogonal polynomials and Hankel determinants generated by a symmetric semi-classical Jacobi weight. By using the ladder operator technique, we derive the second-order nonlinear difference equations satisfied by the recurrence coefficient $β_n(t)$ and the sub-leading coefficient $\mathrm{p}(n,t)$ of the monic orthogonal polynomials. This enables us to obtain the large $n$ asymptotics of $β_n(t)$ and $\mathrm{p}(n,t)$ based on the result of Kuijlaars et al. [Adv. Math. \textbf{188} (2004) 337-398]. In addition, we show the second-order differential equation satisfied by the orthogonal polynomials, with all the coefficients expressed in terms of $β_n(t)$. From the $t$ evolution of the auxiliary quantities, we prove that $β_n(t)$ satisfies a second-order differential equation and $R_n(t)=2n+1+2α-2t(β_n(t)+β_{n+1}(t))$ satisfies a particular Painlevé V equation under a simple transformation. Furthermore, we show that the logarithmic derivative of the associated Hankel determinant satisfies both the second-order differential and difference equations. The large $n$ asymptotics of the Hankel determinant is derived from its integral representation in terms of $β_n(t)$ and $\mathrm{p}(n,t)$.

description: Abstract

This paper explores the impact of Israel's actions on Internal Front landscape of Gaza following the events of October 7, 2023. It begins by examining Israel's initial decisions to cut off essential supplies to Gaza, including food, water, and electricity, as part of collective punitive measures against the civilian population. The systematic destruction of critical infrastructure, such as bakeries, desalination plants, and energy sources, further exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. The paper provides a detailed analysis of the socio-economic conditions in Gaza prior to October 7, 2023, emphasizing the already dire state of poverty and food insecurity exacerbated by an 18-year-long siege. The blockade has severely restricted Gaza's ability to import and export goods, stifling economic development and leading to extreme poverty and unemployment. The movement of people, whether for medical treatment, trade, or other purposes, has been heavily restricted, further contributing to the economic and social degradation of the region.  The case study presented in this paper reviews the observations of the internal front of Gaza since October 7th, 2023, highlighting the importance of maintaining resilience and security within the region amidst the ongoing conflict. The challenges faced by Gaza's home front, including the disruption of economic activities, the looting of aid, and the psychological warfare waged by the Israeli occupation, are discussed in depth. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for a coordinated effort among local, national, and international actors to support Gaza's recovery while maintaining its intenral front. The role of various factions, families, and institutions in either contributing to or mitigating the challenges faced by the Gaza home front is also critically examined.

description: Excess levels of 15N isotopes which have been detected in primitive solar system materials are explained as a remnant of interstellar chemistry which took place in regions of the protosolar nebula. Chemical models of nitrogen fractionation in cold clouds predict an enhancement in the gas-phase abundance of 15N-bearing molecules, thus we have searched for 15N variants of the N2H+ ion in L1544, which is one of the best candidate sources for detection owing to its low central core temperature and high CO depletion. With the IRAM 30m telescope we have obtained deep integrations of the N2H+(1-0) line at 91.2 GHz. The N2H+(1-0) line has been detected toward the dust emission peak of L1544. The 14N/15N abundance ratio in N2H+ resulted 446+/-71, very close to the protosolar value of ~450, higher than the terrestrial ratio of ~270, and significantly lower than the lower limit in L1544 found by Gerin et al. (2009, ApJ, 570, L101) in the same object using ammonia isotopologues.

title: Desorption of Trace Inorganic Contaminants from Solids in Drinking Water Distribution Systems

description: In order to maintain high quality safe drinking water, we need to understand what happens after the water has been cleaned at the drinking water plant and before it gets to the consumer’s house. Even if low concentrations of toxic contaminants enter the drinking water distribution system (DWDS) there is potential for contaminants to accumulate and be released by changes in flow or water conditions in high concentrations at the tap. For this study, we collected solid material from Park City, Utah that accumulated within the DWDS, along with a year of monthly monitoring of the DWDS. These solids were tested under five chemical and physical changes to see what contaminants can be released into the drinking water, with focus on eight elements: antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (PBS), and thallium (Tl) termed inorganic contaminants (TICs), also pipe elements iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). From this study it was found that high concentrations of Sb, As, and Tl could be released under some conditions. Fortunately, we saw that the release of Cr, Cu, and Pb was either unmeasurable or so low that the amount never approached drinking water standards. The factors that were the most influential in producing high concentrations were both high and low pH, high temperature, low Cl2, and CaSO4. The most surprising observation was the very high concentrations of Tl released, reaching up to 90 μg/L, where the safe limit in drinking water is 2 μg/L. This study showed the importance of monitoring changes within the DWDS and that small changes can cause harmful levels of some contaminants to be released into the drinking water. However, monthly monitoring showed under normal conditions no harmful levels were detected.

description: Quantum gravity is a critical area of research aiming to reconcile the principles of general relativity and quantum mechanics. While general relativity explains the gravitational forces acting on massive bodies, it lacks compatibility with quantum mechanics, which governs the behavior of subatomic particles. This paper explores the implications of quantum gravity for photon behavior, particularly focusing on energy transformations and dimensional shifts. Previous works, such as those by Author A (2018) and Author B (2020), have explored these interactions but have yet to fully explain the role of gravitons in the energy cycles observed in high-gravity fields. Quantum gravity remains one of the greatest unsolved problems in physics. Efforts like string theory and loop quantum gravity aim to unify gravity with the quantum world. This research contributes to those efforts by examining how quantum mechanics and gravity interact in high-energy systems, particularly focusing on photon-graviton interactions in extreme environments such as black holes and gravitational lenses.The author acknowledges the use of OpenAI’s language model for assistance in drafting certain sections of this workl
title: Assessing Homeowners' Lawn Management Practices and Preferred Sources of Educational Information
Creators: name: Schaible, Candace J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Prior to the development of programing and outreach materials it is important for Extension outreach and education professionals to assess the educational needs and preference of the communities they serve. Survey data was gathered from residents of Cedar City, UT, in an effort to gain an understanding of current lawn management practices and the resources homeowners utilize when making management decisions. In addition, soil samples were collected from a subset of participants to compare nutrient levels to management practices.
Survey results found that homeowners accessed multiple sources, with preferences leaning towards the use of friends and family members, the internet, and the point of purchase. Few homeowners are aware of and utilize educational resources and services provided by Extension. This is especially true for those under the age of 50, which poses a challenge to Extension professionals to find effective ways to reach younger generations.
It was difficult to form associations between nutrient levels and management practices Although, there was a strong association between those with excessive phosphorus concentration and the application of biosolids. More research needs to be done to examine the distribution and end use of biosolids.

description: This contribution aims to contribute to current research on the effects of multimodality on ESP education, with particular reference to the situational context of the university language classroom. Changes in the way society interacts and accesses information as a result of the present move from language-centered texts to multimodal texts, have had a profound impact on education. As a result, in order to adapt and respond to the continuously changing educational landscape, higher education teachers are increasingly obliged to develop new or alternative conceptions of meaning and communication. For this purpose, the primary objective and impetus of this work is to demonstrate how multimodality and the multi-semiotic dimensions of digital communication may be incorporated into an academic ESP curriculum. The study also intends to illustrate how corpus linguistic retrieval of phraseology can be used to enhance ESP language acquisition through research-informed analyses of a multimodal corpus of video clips.

Limitations of anthropic predictions for the cosmological constant $Λ$: Cosmic Heat Death of Anthropic Observers

description: This paper investigates anthropic bounds on the vacuum energy $Λ$. We first consider the possibility of cosmic observers existing at any random time (including the future) for constant $Λ$, and take into account the suppression of new structure formation as the universe approaches its eternal DeSitter (DS) geometry. Structures that collapse prior to the era of $Λ$-domination will lose causal contact with our Hubble volume within a finite (short) conformal time $τ_{\ast}$. Any remnants within our Hubble volume then suffer a cosmological heat death after the universe becomes DS. The probability for finding observers by random measurements in the volume bound by the DeSitter horizon is $P \simeq 0$, and it is a simple consequence of the information loss problem for eternal DS spaces resulting from the finite and constant value of its temperature $T_{DS} \simeq Λ^{-1/2}$ and entropy $S = 3/(GΛ)$. By contrast, for geometries with $Λ= 0$, structures can condense and entropy production can continue without bounds at any epoch. The probability of finding observers in $Λ= 0$ geometries is thus overwhelming higher than in DS spaces. As a result, anthropic reasoning does not explain the small but nonzero vacuum energy observed in our universe. We also address the case where observers are considered only at a specially chosen time -- like the present epoch -- but relax the allowed values of starting density fluctuations and hence the redshift of galaxy formation. In this latter case, the bounds on a $Λ$ can be millions of times larger than previous estimates -- and the observed value. We thus conclude that anthropic reasoning has limited predictive power.
