description: In this work we study the formation of $N^*$'s as a consequence of the dynamics involved in the $ND\bar D^*-N\bar D D^*$ system when the $D\bar D^*-\bar D D^*$ subsystem generates $X(3872)$ in isospin 0 and $Z_c(3900)$ in isospin 1. States with isospin $I=1/2$ and mass in the energy region $4400-4600$ MeV are found to arise with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^+$ and $3/2^+$, leading to predictions in this way of the existence of $N^*$ resonances with hidden charm and a three-body nature. We also discuss the possibility of the existence of $Δ_c$ states, i.e., $Δ$'s with hidden charm.

title: An Analysis of the Effects of the Impacts of Oil Shale Development on the Economy of the Uintah Basin
Creators: name: Kaufman, David Zachary
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The development of oil shale resources will have a significant impact on the Uintah Basin in Utah. To analyze this impact, this study used a regionalized imput-output model. The input-output table for the State of Utah was revised to fit the Uintah Basin, using the RAS technique.
The scarcity of water in the Basin may cause a shift of water use from irrigated agriculture to oil shale. This reduction in agricultural production was estimated, using demand curves for water in agriculture and an intergen programming model which generated minimum water requirements for shale developments from 25,000 barrels per day to 250,000 barrels per day.
The inclusion of agricultural decline and of the shale industry's rows and columns, based on previous studies, allowed the estimation of a type IV multiplier. The input-output table was closed, and regional gross output estimated for the various levels of shale production.
Results indicate very large changes in retail and wholesale trade, real estate and housing, and public service sectors for high levels of shale production. The loss in agricultural production appears to have almost insignificant effects in comparison. Local planners may be faced with providing significant increases in services, and a large expansion of the private sectors if shale development is substantial.

description: We study how the supersymmetry algebra extension of N=2 supergravity with central charges describes the NUT charge in a duality-covariant way. The stationary BPS states of N=2 supergravity can be embedded in the flat space solution of the timelike reduced theory. Upon reduction, the Killing superalgebra extension and the global superalgebra of charges are described covariantly under the coset structure of the three-dimensional theory. The integral of the Nester-Witten form given by Gibbons and Hull for N=2 has a covariant generalization that includes the NUT charge.

The water component of the industrial location problem : British Columbia's pulp and paper industry
Creators: name: Mitchell, William Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A study in economic geography, this thesis attempts to determine the importance of water for process supply and effluent disposal in industrial location decisions. It is postulated that industry faces physical, institutional, and technologic-economic constraints when evaluating the water component in location problems. Each of these three constraints is analyzed and evaluated for British Columbia's pulp and paper industry, with a view to discovering its effect on the range of spatial choice enjoyed by firms. A number of general conclusions emerge from the investigation. Although a theoretic location proof is not offered, the study raises a number of arguments which indicate water has been over-emphasized in industrial location decisions, and that industry exhibits greater spatial mobility regarding water requirements than is contended in the geographical and technical literature. Of the three constraints, it appears that those of a technologic-economic nature impose the severest limitations on spatial choice; physical, the least. Institutional regulations are found to provide industry with incorrect signals for decision making — the suggestion is offered that effluent control programs based upon economic rather than biological criteria would remove this problem. The implications of the above conclusions for future geographic inquiry regarding water management and development is considered in the concluding section of the study.

description: Path planning has long been one of the major research areas in robotics, with PRM and RRT being two of the most effective classes of planners. Though generally very efficient, these sampling-based planners can become computationally expensive in the important case of "narrow passages". This paper develops a path planning paradigm specifically formulated for narrow passage problems. The core is based on planning for rigid-body robots encapsulated by unions of ellipsoids. Each environmental feature is represented geometrically using a strictly convex body with a $\mathcal{C}^1$ boundary (e.g., superquadric). The main benefit of doing this is that configuration-space obstacles can be parameterized explicitly in closed form, thereby allowing prior knowledge to be used to avoid sampling infeasible configurations. Then, by characterizing a tight volume bound for multiple ellipsoids, robot transitions involving rotations are guaranteed to be collision-free without needing to perform traditional collision detection. Furthermore, by combining with a stochastic sampling strategy, the proposed planning framework can be extended to solving higher dimensional problems in which the robot has a moving base and articulated appendages. Benchmark results show that the proposed framework often outperforms the sampling-based planners in terms of computational time and success rate in finding a path through narrow corridors for both single-body robots and those with higher dimensional configuration spaces. Physical experiments using the proposed framework are further demonstrated on a humanoid robot that walks in several cluttered environments with narrow passages.

description: In models with an enhanced coupling of the Higgs boson to the bottom quark, the dominant production mechanism in hadronic collisions is often the partonic sub-process, bg ->bH. We derive the weak corrections to this process and show that they can be accurately approximated by an "Improved Born Approximation". At the Tevatron, these corrections are negligible and are dwarfed by PDF and scale uncertainties for M_H < 200 GeV. At the LHC, the weak corrections are small for M_H < 500 GeV. For large Higgs boson masses, the corrections become significant, and are ~18% for M_H ~ 1 TeV at E_CM=10 TeV.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: A study of shorthand usage as perceived by selected Ogden, Utah business executives was conducted to determine if curriculum changes must be made in Business Education Department programs in order to meet the secretarial training requirements of Ogden, Utah Business. Data were collected by telephone interview from 84 businessmen who employed one or more secretaries. These data were stratified according to type of business and size of business. Secretarial employment was stratified according to shorthand as a job requirement and to shorthand utilization of the job. In addition, utilization of shorthand supplements and substitutes was analyzed. Trends were determined by comparing three time periods: 1971, 1974, and projected 1977.

description: The presence of dark matter in the halo of our galaxy could be revealed through indirect detection of annihilation products. Dark matter annihilation is one of the possible interpretations of the recent measured excesses in positron and electron fluxes, once boost factors of the order of 10^3 or more are taken into account. Such boost factors are actually achievable through the velocity-dependent Sommerfeld enhancement of the annihilation cross-section. Here we study the expected gamma-ray flux from two local dwarf galaxies for which air Cerenkov measurements are available, namely Draco and Sagittarius. We use velocity dispersion measurements to model the dark matter halos of the dwarfs, and the results of numerical simulations to model the presence of an associated population of subhalos. We incorporate the Sommerfeld enhancement of the annihilation cross-section. We compare our predictions with observations of Draco and Sagittarius performed by MAGIC and HESS, respectively. We also compare our results with the sensitivities of Fermi and of the future Cherenkov Telescope Array. We find that the boost factor due to the Sommerfeld enhancement is already constrained by the MAGIC and HESS data, with enhancements greater than 5 x 10^4 being excluded. While Fermi will not be able to detect gamma-rays from the dwarf galaxies s even with the most optimistic Sommerfeld effect, we show that the Cherenkov Telescope Array will be able to test enhancements greater than 1.5 x 10^3.

Creators: name: Krebs, Cynthia Olsen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: The 1969 through 1976 graduating classes of the business education program at Utah State University were surveyed in this study. The questionnaire was designed to ascertain the work experience of the graduates, the educational status of the graduates, and the value the graduates place on the courses contained in the business education program according to the occupations of the graduates.
Graduates are employed in a large variety of occupations, and the majority of the graduates hold teaching certificates. The majority of the graduates have not completed advanced degrees, and are undecided as to whether or not they will continue their education.
In all but five courses, the graduates; occupations were found to be unrelated to their response concerning the value of a course when the chi square test was applied. The courses in which a significant difference at the .05 level of significance was found were: (1) methods of teaching typewriting, (2) methods of teaching shorthand, (3) economics I, (4) office practice, and (5) office management.
The majority of the graduates indicated their preparation was "excellent" or "good". The members of the department of Business Education were listed as the greatest strength of the program by the graduates.

description: We derive for generally covariant theories the generic dependency of observables on the original fields, corresponding to coordinate-dependent gauge fixings. This gauge choice is equivalent to a choice of intrinsically defined coordinates accomplished with the aid of spacetime scalar fields. With our approach we make full contact with, and give a new perspective to, the "evolving constants of motion" program. We are able to directly derive generic properties of observables, especially their dynamics and their Poisson algebra in terms of Dirac brackets, extending earlier results in the literature. We also give a new interpretation of the observables as limits of canonical maps.

title: The Impact of Surface Soil Removal on Plant Production, Transpiration Ratios, Nitrogen Mineralization Rates, Infiltration Rates, Potential Sediment Losses, and Chemical Water Quality Within the Chained and Reseeded Pinyon-Juniper Types in Utah
Creators: name: Lyons, Steven M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: During the period of October 1974 to August 1976, a study was conducted to measure the effects of surface soil removal on plant production, plant transpiration rates, nitrate nitrogen mineralization rates, and selected hydrologic parameters (infiltration rates, potential sediment production, and chemical quality of runoff water). The treatments were incremental 7.6 centimeter soil layers to a depth of 30.5 centimeters.
Plant production and transpiration ratios (or water use efficiencies) were measured in greenhouse studies using Agrogyron desertorum grown in the incremental 7.6 centimeter soil layers from five study sites throughout the state of Utah, (Blanding, Brush Creek, Milford, Huntington, and Dove Creek). Significant decreases in plant production and increases in transpiration ratios were measured for all sites at incremental depths beyond 7.6 centimeters. These changes in plant production and transpiration ratios were found to be linearly related to the nitrate nitrogen content of the soils as determined at the time the soils were collected for use in the greenhouse.
Nitrogen mineralization rates for a 6 week period were measured under field conditions at Milford and Blanding for each of the 7.6 centimeter incremental soil layers. Nitrate nitrogen mineralization was linearly correlated to the organic carbon content of the soil. Decreased mineralization rates as measured in the field at both study sites were reflected in significant increases in plant water requirements and also decreases in production as measured in greenhouse studies.
Hydrologic parameters were measured at each 7.6 centimeter incremental soil depth using a Rocky Mountain infiltrometer. With one exception, significant differences in infiltration capacities among treatment depths did not occur during either 1975 or 1976 at either the Blanding or Milford site. At the Blanding site a significant decrease in the infiltration capacity occurred beyond the 22.9 centimeter depth due to a hardpan development. A significant change in infiltration capacities was noted between the 1975 and 1976 field seasons as pooled over both treatment depths and study sites.
There were no significant differences in potential sediment production between sites or among treatment depths within a site. In terms of runoff water quality, a significant change in phosphorus was observed only at the Blanding site between the 1975 and 1976 field seasons. Significant differences in potassium concentrations were found to exist between sites and among soil depths.

description: We report on a novel stochastic analysis of seismic time series for the Earth's vertical velocity, by using methods originally developed for complex hierarchical systems, and in particular for turbulent flows. Analysis of the fluctuations of the detrended increments of the series reveals a pronounced change of the shapes of the probability density functions (PDF) of the series' increments. Before and close to an earthquake the shape of the PDF and the long-range correlation in the increments both manifest significant changes. For a moderate or large-size earthquake the typical time at which the PDF undergoes the transition from a Gaussian to a non-Gaussian is about 5-10 hours. Thus, the transition represents a new precursor for detecting such earthquakes.

title: The Effect of Various Environmental Factors on the Growth of a Red Pigmented Dunaliella Species From the Great Salt Lake
Creators: name: May, Sam Oeun
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: A red, obligately halophilic Dunaliella species believed to be D. salina was isolated from the North Arm of the Great Salt Lake, Utah, and its optimum growth conditions were determined.
The red pigmented Dunaliella species required an optimum NaCl concentration of 10%, temperature 28°C, and an illuminance of 7500 lux. Ammonium carbonate was preferred over potassium nitrate and ammonium chloride. Potassium nitrate was preferred over ammonium chloride. The average division (generation) time under the above conditions was 46.5 hours.
The alga grown in ammonium carbonate showed a lower content of chlorophyll a compared to those grown in potassium nitrate and in amonium chloride. The concentration of carotenoids of the alga grown in ammonium carbonate was higher than those in potassium nitrate and in ammonium chloride.
title: An Analysis of Farm Land Use Changes Related to Inheritance Taxes, Estate Planning, and Sale for Retirement in Selected Utah Counties during 1971-1975
Creators: name: Parker, Randall Nolan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Because of increasing rural land values, potential estate problems have been created for farm owners. This study was conducted to analyze land use changes when the farm owner dies. Land use changes and factors related to use change for estates subjected to probate court during 1971-1975, in the selected Utah counties, are described in this thesis.
County records were searched for information pertaining to farm estates probaged in six Utah counties. Individuals handling the affairs of the estates were contacted by mail. Questionnaires returned were used in the analysis and are the basis for the conclusions of this study.
General conclusions of the study were:
1. Land transferred from agricultural to non-agricultural use most frequently when land was sold by the owner prior to death. Transfer of farm land out of agriculture occurred least often when the farm owner utilized estate planning.
2. Regression analysis of variance was used to determine effects of related factors on disposition of farm land use after the owners death. Purchaser and method of land management were determined to significantly influence estate land use.
3. The marital deduction received considerable attention in the new Federal Estate tax law. Of the study estates which paid death taxes; if the new law had been in effect and each estate had a survivor, the total death tax burden would have been lower.

description: VHE observations of PKS 2005-489 were made with HESS from 2004 through 2007, together with three simultaneous multi-wavelength campaigns performed with XMM-Newton and RXTE in 2004 and 2005. A strong VHE signal, ~17sigma total, is detected during the four years of HESS observations (90.3 hrs live time). The integral flux above the average analysis threshold of 400 GeV is ~3% of the Crab and varies weakly on time-scales from days to years. At X-ray energies the flux is observed to vary by more than an order of magnitude between 2004 and 2005. Strong changes in the X-ray spectrum (DeltaGamma~0.7) are also observed, which appear to be mirrored in the VHE band. The SED of PKS 2005-489, constructed for the first time with contemporaneous data on both humps, shows significant evolution. The large flux variations in the X-ray band, coupled with weak or no variations in the VHE band and a similar spectral behavior, suggest the emergence of a new, separate, harder emission component in September 2005.

description: Deep ensemble learning has been shown to improve accuracy by training multiple neural networks and averaging their outputs. Ensemble learning has also been suggested to defend against membership inference attacks that undermine privacy. In this paper, we empirically demonstrate a trade-off between these two goals, namely accuracy and privacy (in terms of membership inference attacks), in deep ensembles. Using a wide range of datasets and model architectures, we show that the effectiveness of membership inference attacks increases when ensembling improves accuracy. We analyze the impact of various factors in deep ensembles and demonstrate the root cause of the trade-off. Then, we evaluate common defenses against membership inference attacks based on regularization and differential privacy. We show that while these defenses can mitigate the effectiveness of membership inference attacks, they simultaneously degrade ensemble accuracy. We illustrate similar trade-off in more advanced and state-of-the-art ensembling techniques, such as snapshot ensembles and diversified ensemble networks. Finally, we propose a simple yet effective defense for deep ensembles to break the trade-off and, consequently, improve the accuracy and privacy, simultaneously.
title: Toxicity, Selectivity, and Efficacy of Squoxin (1,1'-Methylendi-2-Napthol) to Fishes in Utah Waters
Creators: name: Pitman, Dexter R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Squoxin (1,1'-Methylendi-2-napthol) was tested in laboratory and field bioassays to evaluate its biological activity to rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki), Utah chub (Gila atraria), carp (Cyprinus carpio), reside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus), and mountain sucker (Catostomus platyrhynchus) under various conditions of water quality and temperature. The compound was toxic to all species and most effective from greatest to least to mountain sucker, reside shiner, Utah chub, cutthroat trout, and rainbow trout and carp. Selectively and safety indices for Utah chub compared with the two species of trout indicated a selective control potential for squoxin in hard water at 12.1C and very hard water at 5.6C and 18C. Efficacy of squoxin for selective control of Utah chub in trout waters was similar to the selective control of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) with 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitophenol (TFM) in which selection of time and place precedes toxicant use.
The toxicity of squoxin was affected more by water temperature than by different water hardnesses or pH. The cumulative effects of various biological, chemical, and physical factors in field tests significantly reduced the toxicity of squoxin to fish.

description: A well-trained DNN model can be regarded as an intellectual property (IP) of the model owner. To date, many DNN IP protection methods have been proposed, but most of them are watermarking based verification methods where model owners can only verify their ownership passively after the copyright of DNN models has been infringed. In this paper, we propose an effective framework to actively protect the DNN IP from infringement. Specifically, we encrypt the DNN model's parameters by perturbing them with well-crafted adversarial perturbations. With the encrypted parameters, the accuracy of the DNN model drops significantly, which can prevent malicious infringers from using the model. After the encryption, the positions of encrypted parameters and the values of the added adversarial perturbations form a secret key. Authorized user can use the secret key to decrypt the model. Compared with the watermarking methods which only passively verify the ownership after the infringement occurs, the proposed method can prevent infringement in advance. Moreover, compared with most of the existing active DNN IP protection methods, the proposed method does not require additional training process of the model, which introduces low computational overhead. Experimental results show that, after the encryption, the test accuracy of the model drops by 80.65%, 81.16%, and 87.91% on Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and GTSRB, respectively. Moreover, the proposed method only needs to encrypt an extremely low number of parameters, and the proportion of the encrypted parameters of all the model's parameters is as low as 0.000205%. The experimental results also indicate that, the proposed method is robust against model fine-tuning attack and model pruning attack. Moreover, for the adaptive attack where attackers know the detailed steps of the proposed method, the proposed method is also demonstrated to be robust.

description: In August of 1976, a factory employing 210 workers began a phased layoff of all employees. This study focused on the subsequent reemployment problems of the workers. Specifically, methods of job search were analyzed to determine if they had an influence upon placement and quality of employment.
Two means of data collection were used in this study. Questionnaires were mailed to all former employees of Hesston Farm Machinery Company and oral interviews were conducted with public and private individuals involved with placement assistance to displaced workers.
Results of the study indicated that public employment offices, private employment agencies, and Hesston's Personnel Department were ineffective in placing workers. Applying in person and obtaining employment from friends/relatives were both more common and more effective than other methods of job search.

We study the effect of a dynamical modulation of the EIT control field on the shape of the wave packet: interesting effects due to the presence of interfaces with group velocity mismatch are found. An effective description based on a continuity equation is developed.

description: Recent researches show that deep learning model is susceptible to backdoor attacks. Many defenses against backdoor attacks have been proposed. However, existing defense works require high computational overhead or backdoor attack information such as the trigger size, which is difficult to satisfy in realistic scenarios. In this paper, a novel backdoor detection method based on adversarial examples is proposed. The proposed method leverages intentional adversarial perturbations to detect whether an image contains a trigger, which can be applied in both the training stage and the inference stage (sanitize the training set in training stage and detect the backdoor instances in inference stage). Specifically, given an untrusted image, the adversarial perturbation is added to the image intentionally. If the prediction of the model on the perturbed image is consistent with that on the unperturbed image, the input image will be considered as a backdoor instance. Compared with most existing defense works, the proposed adversarial perturbation based method requires low computational resources and maintains the visual quality of the images. Experimental results show that, the backdoor detection rate of the proposed defense method is 99.63%, 99.76% and 99.91% on Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10 and GTSRB datasets, respectively. Besides, the proposed method maintains the visual quality of the image as the l2 norm of the added perturbation are as low as 2.8715, 3.0513 and 2.4362 on Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10 and GTSRB datasets, respectively. In addition, it is also demonstrated that the proposed method can achieve high defense performance against backdoor attacks under different attack settings (trigger transparency, trigger size and trigger pattern). Compared with the existing defense work (STRIP), the proposed method has better detection performance on all the three datasets, and is more efficient than STRIP.

description: It is well established that an entanglement encoded in the Bell states of a two-qubit system with correlated spins exhibits completely different evolution properties than that encoded in states with the anti-correlated spins. A complete and abrupt loss of the entanglement, called the entanglement sudden death, can be found to occur for the spin correlated states, but the entanglement evolves without any discontinuity or decays asymptotically for the spin anti-correlated states. We consider the evolution of an initial entanglement encoded in the spin anti-correlated states and demonstrate that the asymptotic behavior predicted before occurs only in the weak coupling limit or equivalently when the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) is made on the interaction Hamiltonian of the qubits with the field. If we do not restrict ourselves to the RWA, we find that the entanglement undergoes a discontinuity, the sudden death phenomenon. We illustrate this behavior by employing an efficient scheme for entanglement evolution between two cold-trapped atoms located inside a single-mode cavity. Although only a single excitation is initially present in the system, we find that the two-photon excited state, which plays the key role for the discontinuity in the behavior of the entanglement, gains a population over a short time of the evolution. When the RWA is made on the interaction, the two-photon excited state remains unpopulated for all times and the discontinuity is absent. We attribute this phenomenon to the principle of complementarity between the evolution time and energy, and the presence of the counter-rotating terms in the interaction Hamiltonian.

description: We consider the Lorentz gas model of category A (that is, with no corners and of finite horizon) on aperiodic repetitive tilings of $\mathbb{R}^2$ of finite local complexity. We show that the compact factor of the collision map has the K property, from which we derive mixing for pattern-equivariant functions as well as the planar ergodicity of the Lorentz gas flow.
Cusp-core dichotomy of elliptical galaxies: the role of thermal evaporation

description: There are two families of luminous elliptical galaxies: cusp galaxies, with steep central surface-brightness profiles, and core galaxies, whose surface-brightness profiles have flat central cores. Thermal evaporation of accreted cold gas by the hot interstellar medium may be at the origin of this cusp-core dichotomy: in less massive (hot-gas poor) galaxies central cores are likely to be refilled by central starbursts following cold gas infall, while in more massive (hot-gas rich) galaxies most cold gas is eliminated and central cores survive. This scenario is consistent with the observation that cusp and core galaxies differ systematically in terms of optical luminosity, X-ray gas content, age of the central stellar population, and properties of the active galactic nucleus.

description: We determine the strong coupling constant alphas and its energy dependence from the pT dependence of the inclusive jet cross section in ppbar collisions at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV. The strong coupling constant is determined over the transverse momentum range 50 < pT < 145 GeV. Using perturbative QCD calculations to order O(alphas^3) combined with O(alphas^4) contributions from threshold corrections, we obtain alphas(MZ) = 0.1161 +0.0041 -0.0048. This is the most precise result obtained at a hadron-hadron collider.

Implications of space-momentum correlations and geometric fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions
Creators: name: Sorensen, Paul

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: The standard picture of heavy-ion collisions includes a collective expansion. If the initial energy density in the collisions is lumpy, then a collective expansion can convert that spatial lumpiness into correlations between final-state particles. Correlations measurements in heavy-ion collisions show several prominent features not present in proton-proton collisions. I argue that many features of these correlations are related to the transference of over-densities from the initial overlap region into momentum-space during the quark gluon plasma phase of the expansion. I show results from a toy Monte-Carlo to illustrate the consequences of lumpy initial conditions and a collective expansion.

description: Waves are important for the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. We have examined a long spectral time series of a southern coronal hole observed on the 25th February 1997, with the SUMER spectrometer on-board SoHO. The observations were obtained in a transition region N IV 765 A line and in a low coronal Ne VIII 770 A line. Our observations indicate the presence of compressional waves with periods of 18 min. We also find significant power in shorter periods. Using Fourier techniques, we measured the phase delays between intensity as well as velocity oscillations in the two chosen lines over a frequency domain. From this we are able to measure the travel time of the propagating oscillations and, hence, the propagation speeds of the waves producing the oscillations. As the measured propagation speeds are subsonic, we conclude that the detected waves are slow magneto-acoustic in nature.

title: A Study of Geologic Hazards and Geotechnical Input for Selected Critical Facilities - Cache Valley, Utah
Creators: name: Green, Kenneth Robert
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: Important public facilities located in Cache Valley, Utah, were studied to assess their exposure to geologic hazards. Also, the level of geotechnical and geologic expertise involved in the siting, design, and construction of critical public facilities was studied. A discussion of several individual facilities, that were exposed to some degree of hazard, was presented to illustrate the nature of the problem.
Earthquake hazards probably constitute the greatest threat to facilities and to the general welfare of the public. Many earthquake hazard mitigation measures were discussed and recommendations were made, based on aseismic design criteria which has been developed for seismically active areas such as California.
A goal of this study was to present information concerning the seriousness of the current geologic hazard situation in Cache Valley, Utah, in an attempt to help generate public interest in understanding and correcting the problem.
title: An Economic Appraisal of Reuse Concepts in Regional Water Supply Planning
Creators: name: Narayanan, Rangesan
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Using a conceptual model of a water supply firm, the necessary conditions for production and market efficiency are derived when renovated wastewater is considered as a potential water resource. The nature and extent of the supply augmentation due to recycled reuse is demonstrated using classical optimization techniques. Three stages of short-run supply corresponding to no recycling, partial recycled reuse and complete recycling of all reclaimable water are identified through appropriate Lagrangian Multipliers as well as graphical techniques.
A mathematical programming model is structured to determine the optimal water resource allocation and pricing policy for Salt Lake County. By maximizing the sum of consumer and producer surplus (the difference between total willingness-to-pay and total cost) economically efficient equilibria are derived. The feasibility of recycled reuse for municipal purposes is examined in a planning context. The impact of higher water quality discharge standards on the attractiveness of water recycling option is studied. To ensure social acceptability of renovated wastewater for culinary purposes, blending restrictions are imposed, which stipulate that the amount of water for reuse be less than a fixed percentage of the water from other sources. The effect of such a constraint on the prices and water allocation are delineated.
The hydrologic uncertainty in water supply is treated using stochastic programming techniques. Application of the concepts of single and joint chance-constrained programming are illustrated. The resulting changes in pricing and allocation policies are discussed.
