title: The French Influence on Eighteenth - Century English Literature
Creators: name: Grow, Linda Jane
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: The development of English literature in the eighteenth century was strongly influenced by France and French writers. Lately there has been an attempt to belittle the French influences. It is true that in the past the Gallic influence has been exaggerated, but it really cannot be overlooked.
Historically it is true to treat England and France as one country in respect to their literary activity between the middle of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Roughly, there were about 100 years, between the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the execution of Louis XIV in 1793, during which there was a solid block of Franco-British or Anglo-French literary achievement. The Civil War in England gave the English political exiles in Paris a chance to acquire French taste, but this Entente Litteraire was ended when the French Revolution through Trafalgar and Waterloo caused a revulsion from the French example.

description: Two models that unify warm inflation with dark matter and dark energy are proposed. In the models, a single scalar field is responsible for the early expansion of the universe through the process of dissipative warm inflation and then acts as both dark matter and dark energy in subsequent stages. The first model is based on a noncanonical field with the Lagrangian density $\mathcal{L}=F(X)-V(ϕ)$, where the potential is dominant at the slow-roll inflationary epoch and negligible in subsequent stages. The second model takes advantage of a $k$-essence Lagrangian density having the coupled form $\mathcal{L}=F(X)V(ϕ)$. For both models, equations of the evolution for the fields and observational constraints are presented, and an evolution law describing how the energy density $ρ$ and state parameter $w$ scale with the scale factor $a$ is obtained.

description: Based on the assumption of two-quark structure of the scalar meson $K_0^*(1430)$, we calculate the CP-averaged branching ratios for $B \to K_0^*(1430) \etap$ decays in the framework of the perturbative QCD (pQCD) approach here. We perform the evaluations in two scenarios for the scalar meson spectrum. We find that: (a) the pQCD predictions for $Br(B \to K_0^*(1430) η^{(\prime)})$ is $10^{-5} - 10^{-6}$, basically agree with the data within large theoretical uncertainty; (b) the agreement between the pQCD predictions and the data in the scenario I is better than that in the scenario II, which can be tested by the forthcoming LHC experiments; (c) the annihilation contributions play an important role for these considered decays.

title: Protecting transformative optimism in the art classroom: exploring aspirant art teachers’ shifting ideals
Creators: name: Grant, William Richard
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: This extended, normative case study was initiated in response to my professional concerns regarding the capacity of student art and design teachers to defend and extend their personal ideals for future classroom practice. Placement in schools, a majority component of initial teacher education (ITE) in England, appeared to be limiting the hopes and disciplinary intent of many of my own students, instead exposing them to a context of increasingly standardised pedagogic expectation, lacking in agentic opportunities. 
 
Through a qualitative study designed with Freirean intent, I employed visual methods and elicitation interviews to better understand how a cohort of ITE art students’ ideals were altered or reinforced through adaptation or integration with placement classroom practices. Artistic data collected from nine participants was transcribed through novel application of Feldman’s critical framework, and hybrid thematic analysis resulted in the presentation of six interpretive themes. Deductive codes were drawn from two influential sources: Dennis Atkinson’s (2018) characterisation of an English neoliberal school art context, and César Rossatto’s (2005) typology of teacher optimisms. 
 
I found that aspirant art teachers arrived with ideals of an art education celebratory of the authentic attributes of the discipline, typically expressed as chaotic or organic in nature. They championed liberal, critical, and dynamic aspects of teaching and learning about art. On placement, homogenised expectations and reproductive curricula were frequently encountered oppressing students’ agency, and participant cynicism grew. Some adapted their ideals to satisfy institutional requirements. Others described subversive attempts to enact personal aspirations, or a renewed sense of transformative purpose forged in ideal/real tensions. 
 
It was important that I could use this knowledge to reconsider my own practices as teacher educator, to protect a pluralistic, dynamic visual art education in future secondary school classrooms. My findings suggest enhanced opportunity for focused dialogue, community, and critical reflection during ITE could strengthen future student art teachers’ capacity to retain, and activate, their own ideals.

description: We disclose the behaviour of quantum and classical correlations among all the different spatial-temporal regions of a space-time with an event horizon, comparing fermionic with bosonic fields. We show the emergence of conservation laws for entanglement and classical correlations, pointing out the crucial role that statistics plays in the information exchange (and more specifically, the entanglement tradeoff) across horizons. The results obtained here could shed new light on the problem of information behaviour in non-inertial frames and in the presence of horizons, giving a better insight about the black hole information paradox.

title: A Political Profile of Utah Women
Creators: name: Wassermann, Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: This paper is a product of the desire to take advantage of the enormous amount of valuable data available in the files of the Bureau of Government and Opinion Research at Utah State University. The manpower and financial demands of doing the actual polling and getting the totals quickly to the public or private client make a detailed analysis of the conglomerate of studies a near impossibility.
It was my purpose to undertake a segment of just this type of research and integration of data. The increasing frequency with which women as a minority and voting group have been referred stimulated many questions in my mind. Because of data and time considerations, I have limited my inquiry to a relatively narrow time span, that of the years 1970-1973. These same considerations dictated that I confine the scope of the project to women in Utah, their political power, voting patterns, and their placement on the political spectrum.
Three basic questions must be confronted in an analysis of this intent. First, what, if any, political power or influence in office do Utah women exert? Second, where do they stand on social and political issues? Third, how do they express their political leanings in the voting booth?
Only when Utah women have been ascribed a political characterization, founded in data of voting patterns and responses to public opinion questionnaires; can one begin the political speculation which is the eternal temptation facing a political analyst. (Indeed, it is a temptation to anyone who gets bitten by the political bug). That temptation will not be denied in this paper, but it will be - hopefully - deferred until the concluding section.
It is my hope that this work will not of necessity be judged merely the completion of a degree in the Honors program at Utah State University, but will in fact throw new, relevant light on a matter of increasing political significance.

description: Low-valence nickelates $-$ including infinite-layer (IL) and trilayer (TL) compounds $-$ are longstanding candidates for mimicking the high-temperature superconductivity of cuprates. A recent breakthrough in the field came with the discovery of superconductivity in hole-doped IL nickelates. Yet, the degree of similarity between low-valence nickelates and cuprates is the subject of a profound debate for which soft x-ray spectroscopy experiments at the Ni $L$- and O $K$-edge provided critical input. In this review, we will discuss the essential elements of the electronic structure of low-valance nickelates revealed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). Furthermore, we will review magnetic excitations observed in the RIXS spectra of IL and TL nickelates, which exhibit characteristics that are partly reminiscent of those of cuprates.

Family Non-universal Z^\prime effects on \bar{B}_q-B_q$ mixing, B\to X_s μ^+μ^- and B_s\to μ^+μ^- Decays

description: Motivated by the large discrepancy of CP-violating phase in $\bar{B}_s-B_s$ mixing between the experimental data and the Standard Model prediction, we pursue possible solutions within a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ model. Within such a specific model, we find that both the $\bar{B}_s-B_s$ mixing anomaly and the well-known "$πK$ puzzle" could be moderated simultaneously with a nontrivial new weak phase, $ϕ^L_s\sim-72^{\circ}$ (S1) or $-82^{\circ}$ (S2). With the stringently constrained $Z^{\prime}$ coupling $B_{sb}^{L}$, we then study the $Z^{\prime}$ effects on the rare $B\to X_s μ^+μ^-$ and $B_s\to μ^+μ^-$ decays, which are also induced by the same $b\to s$ transition. The observables of $B\to X_s μ^+μ^-$, at both high and low $q^2$ regions, are found to be able to put strong constraints on the $μ-μ-Z^{\prime}$ coupling, $B_{μμ}^{L,R}\sim10^{-2}$. It is also shown that the combined constraints from $\bar{B}_s-B_s$ mixing, $B\to πK$ and $B\to X_s μ^+μ^-$ do not allow a large $Z^{\prime}$ contribution to the pure leptonic $B_s\toμ^+μ^-$ decay.

Polytropic Wind Solutions via the Complex Plane Strategy

description: Solar-type stars generate spherical winds, which are pressure driven flows, that start subsonic, reach the sound speed at the sonic point and transition to supersonic flows. The sonic point, mathematically corresponds to a singularity of the system of differential equations describing the flow. In the problem of an isothermal wind, the Parker solution provides an exact analytical expression tuned appropriately so that the singularity does not affect the solution. However, if the wind is polytropic it is not possible to find an analytical solution and a numerical approach needs to be followed. We study solutions of spherical winds that are driven by pressure within a gravitational field. The solutions pass smoothly from the critical point and allow us to study the impact of the changes of the polytropic index to these winds. We explore the properties of these solutions as a function of the polytropic index and the boundary conditions used. We apply the Complex Plane Strategy (CPS) and we obtain numerically solutions of polytropic winds. This allows us to avoid the singularity appearing in the equations through the introduction complex variables and integration on the complex plane. Applying this method, we obtain solutions with physical behaviour at the stellar surface, the sonic point and at large distances from the star. We further explore the role of the polytropic index in the flow and the effect of mass--loss rate and temperature on the solution. We find that the increase of polytropic index as well as the decrease of flow parameter both yield to a smoother velocity profile and lower velocities and shifts the transition point from subsonic to supersonic behaviour further from the star. Finally, we verify that the increasing of coronal temperature yields higher wind velocities and a weaker dependence on polytropic index.

Kaon condensation in the color-flavor-locked phase of quark matter, the Goldstone theorem, and the 2PI Hartree approximation
Creators: name: Andersen, Jens O.

Year: 2008

description: At very high densities, QCD is in the color-flavor locked phase, which is a color-superconducting phase. The diquark condensates break chiral symmetry in the same way as it is broken in vacuum QCD and gives rise to an octet of pseudo-Goldstone bosons and a superfluid mode. The lightest of these are the charged and neutral kaons. For energies below the superconducting gap, the kaons are described by an $O(2)\times O(2)$-symmetric effective scalar field theory with chemical potentials. We use this effective theory to study Bose-condensation of kaons and their properties as functions of the temperature and the chemical potentials. We use the 2-particle irreducible effective action formalism in the Hartree approximation. The renormalization of the gap equations and the effective potential is studied in detail and we show that the counterterms are independent of temperature and chemical potentials.We determine the phase diagram and the medium-dependent quasiparticle masses. It is shown that the Goldstone theorem is satisfied to a very goodapproximation. The effects of imposing electric charge neutrality is examined as well.

title: Summer Camp 1973: Recreation, an Approach to Behavior Modification
Creators: name: Erni, Christine Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: At the culmination of the highly successful first annual Bridgerland Special Olympics, the author decided that more recreational activities needed to be provided for the exceptional (handicapped) children of this area. Academic and vocational programs were rapidly increasing but little was being done to help these exceptional children develop their social and recreational skills. Besides, college students found interaction with the children from the Exceptional Child Center and the Benson Instructional Workshop to be so educational and rewarding that they wanted to plan other recreational activities. Consequently, interested students met in May 1973 to plan a summer camp for these exceptional children.
After completing some preliminary research, White (1968), Davis, et al. (1968), and Student Life (1968), it was found that USU had sponsored such a camp in 1968. The camp (White, 1968), was directed by Ernest Davis, physical education instructor for the handicapped in St. Paul, Minnesota; Dr. Devoe Rickert, USU Special Education professor; and Lois Downs, USU Health Education and Recreation professor. Obviously, this nine day camp for thirteen "mentally retarded" youth (Davis, et al., 1968), was conducted by professionals, but this did not deter our student volunteers. They were convinced that the 1973 Summer Camp could be just as educational and enjoyable as the camp held five years previously.
The 1973 Summer Camp was organized to meet the following objectives: 1. For the exceptional child: a. to build a positive self image b. to gain confidence and self mastery c. to develop physical coordination d. to encourage independence e. to teach safety and conservation f. to provide an opportunity to have fun  2. For the student volunteer: a. to provide an occasion to work with exceptional children outside of the formal classroom b. to allow students an opportunity to utilize behavior modification techniques and skills in diverse settings c. to provide an opportunity to have fun with exceptional children
These objectives were selected because according to the Joseph Kennedy Foundation (n/d, p. 1) "recent scientific research has shown that physical activities... are a major means of reaching the retarded." Through recreation, they can find success, build a positive self image, gain confidence and self mastery besides developing physically. As exceptional children improve their performance in recreational activities, they will also improve their performance "in the classroom, at home, and eventually on the job." Joseph Kennedy Foundation (n/d, p. 1). Apparently, a transfer of knowledge and skills take place--what is learned through recreation helps classroom education.
It was with these objectives in mind that a group of undergraduate students attempted to plan and conduct "Summer Camp 1973."

description: A non-perturbative effective model is derived for the Higgs sector of the standard model, described by a simple scalar theory. The renormalized couplings are determined by the derivatives of the Gaussian Effective Potential that are known to be the sum of infinite bubble graphs contributing to the vertex functions. A good agreement has been found with strong coupling lattice simulations when a comparison can be made.

To achieve thisgoal, we fuse sequential information from multiple consecu-tive lidar measurements with respect to the driven trajectoryof an autonomous vehicle. By doing so, we enrich the multi-layer grid maps which are subsequently used as the input ofa neural network. Our approach can be used for LiDAR-only360◦surround view semantic scene segmentation while beingsuitable for real-time critical systems. We evaluate the bene-fit of fusing sequential information based on a dense groundtruth and discuss the effect on different semantic classes.

We determine the universal deformation rings $R(S_5,V)$ and $R(\hat{S}_5,V)$ for each mod 2 representation $V$ of $S_5$ that belongs to the principal 2-modular block of $S_5$ and whose stable endomorphism ring is given by scalars when it is inflated to $\hat{S}_5$. We show that for these $V$, a question raised by the first author and Chinburg concerning the relation of the universal deformation ring of $V$ to the Sylow 2-subgroups of $S_5$ and $\hat{S}_5$, respectively, has an affirmative answer.

Spin relaxation due to deflection coupling in nanotube quantum dots

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We consider relaxation of an electron spin in a nanotube quantum dot due to its coupling to flexural phonon modes, and identify a new spin-orbit mediated coupling between the nanotube deflection and the electron spin. This mechanism dominates other spin relaxation mechanisms in the limit of small energy transfers. Due to the quadratic dispersion law of long wavelength flexons, $ω\propto q^2$, the density of states $dq/dω\propto ω^{-1/2}$ diverges as $ω\to 0$. Furthermore, because here the spin couples directly to the nanotube deflection, there is an additional enhancement by a factor of $1/q$ compared to the deformation potential coupling mechanism. We show that the deflection coupling robustly gives rise to a minimum in the magnetic field dependence of the spin lifetime $T_1$ near an avoided crossing between spin-orbit split levels in both the high and low-temperature limits. This provides a mechanism that supports the identification of the observed $T_1$ minimum with an avoided crossing in the single particle spectrum by Churchill et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 102}, 166802 (2009)].

title: Unity in the Theory of Elementary Particles Through Group Theory
Creators: name: Lemon, Douglas Karl
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: Science is the process of seeking unity in the diversity of natural phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that group theory brings unity to the theory of elementary particles. The prime motivations are first, to find a quantitative representation of the Lorentz transformation, and second, to find a quantitative representation of angular momentum. Since both of these have continuous parameters, groups with continuous parameters, particularly Lie groups, are of interest.
The first portion of the paper develops the definition of Lie groups and their associated Lie algebras. The prerequisite definitions of transformations, groups, group representations, and continuous groups are given.
The second portion of the paper presents illustrations to support the conclusion that group theory brings unity to elementary particle theory. The major examples are spin and angular momentum of a particle.

description: It is shown that non-Markovian master equations for an open system which are local in time can be unravelled through a piecewise deterministic quantum jump process in its Hilbert space. We derive a stochastic Schrödinger equation that reveals how non-Markovian effects are manifested in statistical correlations between different realizations of the process. Moreover, we demonstrate that possible violations of the positivity of approximate master equations are closely connected to singularities of the stochastic Schrödinger equation, which could lead to important insights into the structural characterization of positive non-Markovian equations of motion.

description: The area of public opinion and survey research is one of my chief interests in my chosen major of political science. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate my accumulated knowledge and experience in the field of survey research. After studying and working under Dr. Dan E. Jones, an Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Bureau of Government and Opinion Research, for approximately four years, I have been involved in the many phases of survey research on numerous projects including public opinion surveys, political polls, elite interviewing, and election projections.
With the approval of Dr. Sanders, Director of the Honors Program, and under the direction of Dr. Dan E. Jones, I was involved in all steps of the December 1973 KCPX News Survey, including writing the analysis which comprises the remainder of this report. Following is a simplified outline of the steps in this survey project which I helped direct and implement:

description: In this paper we calculate the branching ratios (BRs) of the 32 charmless hadronic $B_c \to A P$ decays ($A=a_1(1260),b_1(1235),K_1(1270),K_1(1400), f_1(1285),f_1(1420),h_1(1170),h_1(1380)$) by employing the perturbative QCD(pQCD) factorization approach. These considered decay channels can only occur via annihilation type diagrams in the standard model. From the numerical calculations and phenomenological analysis, we found the following results: (a) the pQCD predictions for the BRs of the considered $B_c$ decays are in the range of $10^{-6}$ to $10^{-8}$, while the CP-violating asymmetries are absent because only one type tree operator is involved here; (b) the BRs of $ΔS= 0$ processes are generally much larger than those of $ΔS =1$ ones due to the large CKM factor of $|V_{ud}/V_{us}|^2\sim 19$; (c) since the behavior for $^1P_1$ meson is much different from that of $^3P_1$ meson, the BRs of $B_c \to A(^1P_1) P$ decays are generally larger than that of $B_c \to A(^3P_1) P$ decays; (d) the pQCD predictions for the BRs of $B_c \to (K_1(1270), K_1(1400)) \etap $ and $(K_1(1270), K_1(1400)) K$ decays are rather sensitive to the value of the mixing angle $θ_K$.

description: Practical schemes for creation of multi-mode squeezed (entangled) states of atomic ensembles located inside a high-Q ring cavity are discussed. It is assumed that the cavity is composed of two degenerate mutually counter-propagating modes that can simultaneously couple to the atomic ensembles with the same coupling strengths. The ensembles are composed of ultra-cold atoms which are modeled as four-level systems driven by two laser fields, both co-propagating with one of the cavity directions. We illustrate a procedure that constructs multi-mode squeezed states from the vacuum by a unitary transformation associated with the collective dynamics of the atomic ensembles subjected to driving lasers of a suitably adjusted amplitudes and phases. The lasers pulses together with the cavity dissipation prepare the collective modes in a desired stationary squeezed state.

Sensation-seeking in two groups of psychopaths differentiated on the basis of E. E. G. patterns
Creators: name: Johnston, William Elsworth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A review of the literature on psychopathy indicated that the concept has been defined in many different ways, causing confusion among those attempting to understand and treat the disorder. Studies were reviewed which showed there is a high frequency of E.E.G. abnormality among psychopaths. These abnormalities usually consist of an excess of bilateral theta activity of a non-specific kind, but they may be focal, especially in the posterior temporal regions. Studies indicated that these abnormalities disappear over time. Various autonomic correlates of psychopathy were examined, and the theory evolved that psychopaths are chronically cortically underaroused, since much of the data indicated that the psychopath's optimal level of stimulation tends to be significantly higher than that which is considered normal. Psychopaths with E.E.G. abnormalities tend to behave in a more socially acceptable manner as they get older, whereas the prognosis for psychopaths in general is poor. The central hypothesis of this study was that psychopaths with E.E.G. abnormalities manifest asocial behaviour because of their pathological need for stimulation, while psychopaths with normal E.E.G.s manifest asocial behaviour due to factors unrelated to pathological stimulation seeking. Ss were 39 male inmates of three correctional institutions. All Ss were volunteers. Ss were placed in four groups; psychopaths with E.E.G. abnormalities, psychopaths with normal E.E.G.'s, non-psychopaths with E.E.G. abnormalities and non-psychopaths with normal E.E.G's. Due to sampling problems, the fourth group had only 9 Ss, while the other three groups contained 10 Ss each. M.M.P.I. scores were used to assign the diagnosis of psychopathy, while E.E.G. recordings were made and analysed by two competent technicians. Standard criteria were used in the diagnosis of psychopathy using the M.M.P.I.; tests used for analysis of E.E.G. configurations were also standard. Both are described in the study. The Sensation Seeking Scale was used as a measure of need for stimulation. All Ss completed the standard S.S.S. as well as a short form of the M.M.P.I. Activity Preference Questionnaire data was also obtained, but was not used in the analysis, as S.S.S. scores rendered this information redundant. The results supported the central hypothesis that psychopaths with abnormally slow E.E.G.s have stronger needs for varied sensory experience than do psychopaths with normal E.E.G.s or non-psychopaths. The results have important implications for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of psychopaths. It appears logical to diag-nostically separate psychopaths with E.E.G. abnormalities from those with normal E.E.G.'s. Prognosis for the former group is good, and normalization of E.E.G. patterns could be speeded up through the use of biofeedback techniques. Suggestions for future research were made.

description: Abstract: In this paper a Finite Element (FE) procedure is described for simulating the behavior of bolted flanged steel pipe joint subject to bending. The FE model of the pipe joint has been subjected to yield moment of steel pipe and the maximum bolt tension has been determined under that moment. FE models presented in this paper incorporate nonlinear material properties and simulation of contact between flanges as well as between bolt-head and flange. An extensive numerical study has been carried out to find out the effect of various parameters on bolt tension. The study reveals that flange thickness and diameter of bolt have predominant effect on bolt tension forces. The study presented here provides us with an opportunity to better understand the behavior of flanged pipe joint subjected to bending.
title: One Way Pendulum (The Absurd in the World and the Theatre)
Creators: name: Pilkington, Ace
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: This paper is about human relation with and reaction to the Absurd. The Absurd seen in terms of the theatre, and the Absurd in relation to human images. The "Absurd" is not easy to define; it is more a condition than a concept--understood more easily by reference to an extensive body of metaphor. Ionesco calls it "... that which is devoid of purpose... . Cut off from his religious, metaphysical, and transcendental roots, man is lost... ." Which is not so much a definition as an evocation of a mood, a mood that comes from living in a world or observing one on stage. In this sense the Theatre of the Absurd creates a metaphor for the world (as in the plays of Ionesco, Pinter, and Beckett) and not a representation of the world. And also in this sense the Theatre of the Absurd is at once the most compact and the most complete image of the Absurd.
The term "Theatre of the Absurd" is most often used to mean those cases " ... when the playwright attempts to give expression to the absurd through both the structure and the language of his work ... ." This conventional terminology is not a definition but a category, used to separate the "non-classical" work of playwrights such as Beckett, Pinter, Ionesco, and Simpson from the "classical" work of playwrights such as Sartre, Camus, and Albee. It allows scholars to limit their area of study. However, since this paper is concerned primarily with development and content and only secondarily with form, both Theatre of the Absurd and Absurd Drama (used to signify the more "classical" drama) will be dealt with.

description: We study the a_0 and K_0^* light scalar mesons in 2+1 flavor full QCD. Particular attention is paid to fitting excited states, with an eye toward determining whether scattering states are revealed. An ultimate goal will be to see how dynamical quarks affect the picture outlined with an earlier quenched study using overlap fermions, namely, that it is the a_0(1450), not the a_0(980), which is the lowest $\bar{q}q$ isovector scalar state.

Year: 1974

description: This paper concerns itself mainly with the problems presently facing Logan's CBD (Central Business District). With the possibility of competition from a mall on 14th north, increased population with all its ramifications and continuing natural decay, the problems of downtown Logan today will not get any easier. This paper offers a look at those problems and considers a few alternative solutions. In no way is it intended to cover the entire range of solutions available, nor does it offer in depth answers to these problems. Rather, it is an overview of possible avenues where effort may be directed.
title: A Study to Determine the Cultural Awareness of Engineering Students
Creators: name: Foreman, Gordon P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Origins of the Study
As an engineering student in the Honors Program, I am continually faced with the stereotype of engineering students as people with no interest in social or cultural affairs and no consideration of things which cannot be tied down and measured. I decided to test this conception as best I could, even to comparing engineering students quantitatively to natural resources, history, and business majors. I attempted to get number comparisons for the index of relative awarenesses of culture. I suppose that only an engineering student would have the temerity to try to attach numerical values to something as nebulous as cultural awareness, but this seemed to me to be the only way to really compare engineering students to others.
Proposed Methods of Measurement
Several methods were proposed to me by various people for measuring cultural awareness, such as correlating ticket sales for Fine Arts events with majors, but no record is kept of who buys tickets, so this proved impossible. Finally I decided that a questionnaire was the only feasible method.
I undertook a minor literature survey on this project, only to discover that nothing has been done in this area other than editorials or other expressions of opinion. To the best of my knowledge, there has not been a questionnaire or similar instrument ever copyrighted in the U.S. that would have been of any assistance to me in designing mine.
title: Inclusion of Rectangular and Triangular Geometries in the Space-Dependent Kinetics Code, FX2
Creators: name: Perry, Ted
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The computer code FX2 is used to model liquid-metal fast-breeder reactors now being developed by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. These reactors differ from thermal reactors in that they have no moderator material in their cores and thus operate at mean neutron energies of 100 keV or more as opposed to neutron energies of less than 1 keV for thermal reactors. Also these reactors have the advantage that as a consequence of the high neutron energies, these reactors can be used to "breed" their own fuel: enriched 238U placed in the core is changed into plutonium which can then be used as fuel for the reactor.
The basic problem that FX2 solves is the time-dependent, multigroup diffusion equation. In this equation neutrons are divided into various energy groups. The rate of change of the neutron population for a particular group is found by adding the number of neutrons entering the system, the number of prompt neutrons which are produced directly by fission, and the number of delayed neutrons which are emitted by unstable isotopes which have been excited by neutron absorption, and then subtracting the number of neutrons escaping and the number of neutrons being absorbed.
