title: Majority Tyranny or Minority Power? Impact of Direct Democracy on Same-Sex Relationship Rights
Creators: name: Doney, Jylisa Renea
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This research study examined the conditions under which direct democracy advanced versus impeded gay relationship rights. Many policy makers argue that direct democracy works to create a “tyranny of the majority” in which the majority impedes the rights of minority citizens. However, other researchers disagree and note that direct democracy contests advance gay rights as seen in Switzerland (Frey & Goette, 1998). I hypothesize that direct democracy advanced gay relationship rights legislation when influenced by non-traditional norms regarding family and gender, and/or the contests occurred in states or cantons that were heterogeneous in their values, while direct democracy hindered gay relationship rights legislation when influenced by traditional norms regarding family and gender, and/or the contests occurred in states or cantons that were homogeneous in their values. To study this topic I conducted a comparative historical analysis of the gay relationship rights initiatives that appeared on state, canton, and national ballots in the United States and Switzerland between 2000 and present. I then examined whether significant differences were seen between the contests in the United States and Switzerland that either advanced or hindered gay relationship rights legislation. Within the United States it was discovered that when direct democracy was used to determine marriage amendments and/or marriage laws, the rights of gay and lesbian individuals were continuously obstructed. This type of outcome was not experienced in Switzerland when similar rights were put to the public vote, as direct democracy, in certain instances, advanced the rights of gay and lesbian individuals.

description: We investigate interference effects of the backscattering current through a double-barrier structure in an interacting quantum wire attached to noninteracting leads. Depending on the interaction strength and the location of the barriers, the backscattering current exhibits different oscillation and scaling characteristics with the applied voltage in the strong and weak interaction cases. However, in both cases, the oscillation behaviors of the backscattering current are mainly determined by the quantum mechanical interference due to the existence of the double barriers.

Current Fluctuations and Statistics During a Large Deviation Event in an Exactly-Solvable Transport Model

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study the distribution of the time-integrated current in an exactly-solvable toy model of heat conduction, both analytically and numerically. The simplicity of the model allows us to derive the full current large deviation function and the system statistics during a large deviation event. In this way we unveil a relation between system statistics at the end of a large deviation event and for intermediate times. Midtime statistics is independent of the sign of the current, a reflection of the time-reversal symmetry of microscopic dynamics, while endtime statistics do depend on the current sign, and also on its microscopic definition. We compare our exact results with simulations based on the direct evaluation of large deviation functions, analyzing the finite-size corrections of this simulation method and deriving detailed bounds for its applicability. We also show how the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem can be used to determine the range of validity of simulation results.

title: Queering Gender: How Transgender College Student Navigate Gender
Creators: name: Jaggi, Rachel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: In response to the “Doing Gender” theory as proposed by West and Zimmerman, some scholars have argued that the theory perpetuates gender inequality and leaves no room for social change. These scholars argue that research needs to be directed towards deconstructing the gender system, thereby “undoing gender.” Transgender individuals, who appear to be playing with the system of gender, provide an important conduit through which to examine the possibility of transcending the gender binary. I conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with transgender college students to examine the extent to which these individuals are able to overcome the dichotomous gender system. My findings suggest that transgender gender performance varies widely across settings and evolves over time, resulting in both perpetuation and deconstruction of the gender system. Overall, while this research does advance theory considerably by identifying the variability of transgender identity and gender performance, it also provides some tentative support to West and Zimmerman’s arguments of doing gender.

A: Math. Theor. Vol. 42 (2009) 395202 (20pp)), mixed heavenly equation and Husain equation appear as closely related canonical equations admitting partner symmetries. Here for the mixed heavenly equation and Husain equation, formulated in a two-component form, we present recursion operators, Lax pairs of Olver-Ibragimov-Shabat type and discover their Lagrangians, symplectic and bi-Hamiltonian structure. We obtain all point and second-order symmetries, integrals and bi-Hamiltonian representations of these systems and their symmetry flows together with infinite hierarchies of nonlocal higher symmetries.

description: Using Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the resolved stellar population of KK~242 = NGC6503-d1 = PGC~4689184, we measure the distance to the galaxy to be $6.46\pm0.32$ Mpc and find that KK~242 is a satellite of the low-mass spiral galaxy NGC~6503 located on the edge of the Local Void. Observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array show signs of a very faint HI-signal at the position of KK~242 within a velocity range of $V_{hel} = -80\pm10$ km\,s$^{-1}$. This velocity range is severely contaminated by HI emission from the Milky Way and from NGC6503. The dwarf galaxy is classified as the transition type, dIrr/dSph, with a total HI-mass of $< 10^6 M_{\odot}$ and a star formation rate SFR(H$α$) = --4.82 dex ($M{\odot}$/yr). Being at a projected separation of 31 kpc with a radial velocity difference of -- 105 km\,s$^{-1}$ relative to NGC~6503, KK~242 gives an estimate of the halo mass of the spiral galaxy to be $\log(M/M_{\odot}$) = 11.6. Besides NGC~6503, there are 8 more detached low-luminosity spiral galaxies in the Local Volume: M~33, NGC~2403, NGC~7793, NGC~1313, NGC~4236, NGC~5068, NGC~4656 and NGC~7640, from whose small satellites we have estimated the average total mass of the host galaxies and their average total mass-to-K-band-luminosity $\langle M_T/M_{\odot}\rangle = (3.46\pm0.84)\times 10^{11}$ and $(58\pm19) M_{\odot}/L_{\odot}$, respectively.

description: Complex numbers are an intrinsic part of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory, and are perhaps its most mysterious feature. In this paper, we show that the complex nature of the quantum formalism can be derived directly from the assumption that a pair of real numbers is associated with each sequence of measurement outcomes, with the probability of this sequence being a real-valued function of this number pair. By making use of elementary symmetry conditions, and without assuming that these real number pairs have any other algebraic structure, we show that these pairs must be manipulated according to the rules of complex arithmetic. We demonstrate that these complex numbers combine according to Feynman's sum and product rules, with the modulus-squared yielding the probability of a sequence of outcomes.

title: The Role of Law: How Law Shapes and Alters the Foundations of Societies
Creators: name: Funk, Derek Robert
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: When one considers the abundant number of nations, laws, and forms of government that have emerged throughout the history of civilization, it becomes apparent that although mankind shares common traits and attributes, societies often implement different principles as they strive to protect their interests and achieve their goals. As the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau remarked, “besides the principles that are common to all, every nation has in itself something that gives them a particular application, and makes its legislation peculiarly its own.”1 Because every society faces a unique set of challenges, every society must solve its particular dilemmas in a unique fashion. In his celebrated work, The Spirit of Laws, Montesquieu observed that “the government most conformable to nature is that which best agrees with the humor and disposition of the people in whose favor it is established.”2 This treatise seeks to illustrate that the law of a society must be founded upon principles that not only promote its welfare and goals, but also are compatible with its culture. If a society is to be successful, its government must also be capable of recognizing threats to stability and managing them in a fashion that preserves its ideals and foundational principles. This treatise is divided into three parts. Part I consists of an abstract philosophical discussion on the nature of government and role of law within society. In Part II, the role of law within the American system of government is portrayed. Part III begins with a consideration of the role fulfilled by the Supreme Court within the American legal system and concludes with a discussion concerning the potential usefulness of the Court in preserving the fundamental principles of American society.

description: $\mathcal{N} = 1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory describes gluons interacting with gluinos, which are spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Majorana particles in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. In addition to glueballs and mesonic bound states, the theory contains color neutral bound states of three gluinos, which are analogous to baryons in QCD. We calculate their correlation functions, involving ``sunset diagrams'' and ``spectacle diagrams'', numerically for gauge group SU(2) and present an update on the estimates for the lowest masses.

description: We present an analysis of the evolution of 8625 Luminous Red Galaxies between z = 0.4 and z = 0.8 in the 2dF and SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) survey. The LRGs are split into redshift bins and the evolution of both the luminosity and stellar mass function with redshift is considered and compared to the assumptions of a passive evolution scenario. We draw attention to several sources of systematic error that could bias the evolutionary predictions made in this paper. While the inferred evolution is found to be relatively unaffected by the exact choice of spectral evolution model used to compute K+e corrections, we conclude that photometric errors could be a source of significant bias in colour-selected samples such as this, in particular when using parametric maximum likelihood based estimators. We find that the evolution of the most massive LRGs is consistent with the assumptions of passive evolution and that the stellar mass assembly of the LRGs is largely complete by z ~ 0.8. Our findings suggest that massive galaxies with stellar masses above 10^11 solar masses must have undergone merging and star formation processes at a very early stage (z > 1). This supports the emerging picture of downsizing in both the star formation as well as the mass assembly of early type galaxies. Given that our spectroscopic sample covers an unprecedentedly large volume and probes the most massive end of the galaxy mass function, we find that these observational results present a significant challenge for many current models of galaxy formation

description: We investigate synchronization caused by long-range hydrodynamic interaction in a two-dimensional, substrated array of rotors with random intrinsic frequencies. The rotor mimics a flagellated bacterium that is attached to the substrate ("bacterial carpet") and exerts an active force on the fluid. Transition from coherent to incoherent regimes is studied numerically, and the results are compared to a mean-field theory. We show that quite a narrow distribution of the intrinsic frequency is required to achieve collective motion in realistic cases. The transition is gradual, and the critical behavior is qualitatively different from that of the conventional globally coupled oscillators. The model not only serves as a novel example of non-locally coupled oscillators, but also provides insights into the role of intrinsic heterogeneities in living and artificial microfluidic actuators.

description: Composer Edvard Grieg merged a Classical and Romantic style of music with traditional Norwegian characteristics to create his own unique, complex style that is still widely performed today. His music changed the way we think of Romantic music and foreshadowed 20th century styles that would emerge only a few years later. His compositions vary throughout his life based on other composers’ innovations and his own preferences, but how much did Grieg’s personal life affect his music? And how did his life events shape his emerging style during his career? This information is displayed in a lecture recital format and will outline some of the historical implications and personality traits that allow us to understand the context of Grieg’s music and how he bridged the gap between trying to please audiences and satisfy himself.

description: Let A_N be an N-point distribution in the unit square in the Euclidean plane. We consider the Discrepancy function D_N(x) in two dimensions with respect to rectangles with lower left corner anchored at the origin and upper right corner at the point x. This is the difference between the actual number of points of A_N in such a rectangle and the expected number of points - N x_1x_2 - in the rectangle. We prove sharp estimates for the BMO norm and the exponential squared Orlicz norm of D_N(x). For example we show that necessarily ||D_N||_(expL^2) >c(logN)^(1/2) for some aboslute constant c>0. On the other hand we use a digit scrambled version of the van der Corput set to show that this bound is tight in the case N=2^n, for some positive integer n. These results unify the corresponding classical results of Roth and Schmidt in a sharp fashion.

title: Developing Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP) in Diverse Classrooms
Creators: name: Lillywhite, Kristen M
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: The process of second language acquisition was studied by examining the distinction between basic interpersonal conversation skills (BICS) and cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP). This distinction, originally proposed by linguist Jim Cummins, relates to current trends in the U.S public education system. A review of the literature was conducted and integrated with information obtained by interviewing local language arts teachers. The primary goal of the study was to learn how public school teachers conceptualize second language acquisition and literacy instruction. The thesis also addresses how the BICS/CALP distinction can be applied in real classroom settings. Teachers reported that low student motivation and various cultural factors affect second language acquisition. Further study is needed to determine the extent to which these factors affect the development of CALP. While developing CALP is especially critical for English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, teachers felt that intervention strategies will benefit all students.

description: Murota et al. have recently developed a theory of discrete convex analysis which concerns M-convex functions on jump systems. We introduce here a family of M-concave functions arising naturally from polynomials (over a field of generalized Puiseux series) with prescribed non-vanishing properties. This family contains several of the most studied M-concave functions in the literature. In the language of tropical geometry we study the tropicalization of the space of polynomials with the half-plane property, and show that it is strictly contained in the space of M-concave functions. We also provide a short proof of Speyer's hive theorem which he used to give a new proof of Horn's conjecture on eigenvalues of sums of Hermitian matrices.

With experiments routinely reaching the quantum regime, the focus has now turned towards creating and exploiting interesting non-classical states of motion and entanglement in optomechanical systems. Quantumness has also shifted from being the very reason why experiments are constructed to becoming a resource for the investigation of fundamental physics and the creation of quantum technologies. Here, by focusing on opto- and electromechanical platforms we review recent progress in quantum state preparation and entanglement of mechanical systems, together with applications to signal processing and transduction, quantum sensing, topological physics, as well as small-scale thermodynamics.

title: Innocence Lost: The Tension of Contrary States in Blake and Milton
Creators: name: Spratt, Andrew M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Though writing more than one-hundred years apart, the poetic works of John Milton and William Blake interacted with one another to such an extent that they have become increasingly entwined within the critical imagination of scholars over the past two centuries. Despite the recognition of the influence of Milton upon Blake, and subsequent examinations of Blake’s opinions of Milton as an artist, a thorough examination of Blake’s opinion of Milton as the narrator of Paradise Lost has heretofore remained unattempted. This essay examines Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience as a lens through which to interpret the narrator of Paradise Lost. Reading Milton in this light reveals a fallen and troubled narrator attempting to represent innocence, yet encountering difficulties due to his fallen condition. Through his poetry Blake examines the nature of Milton’s narrator, ultimately demonstrating that the problems of innocence within Paradise Lost, namely the transience of innocence and the vulnerability of those in a state of innocence, stem originally from the fallen narrator’s impossible task of representing a condition which has been lost to him.

description: We survey the current state of phase change memory (PCM), a non-volatile solid-state memory technology built around the large electrical contrast between the highly-resistive amorphous and highly-conductive crystalline states in so-called phase change materials. PCM technology has made rapid progress in a short time, having passed older technologies in terms of both sophisticated demonstrations of scaling to small device dimensions, as well as integrated large-array demonstrators with impressive retention, endurance, performance and yield characteristics. We introduce the physics behind PCM technology, assess how its characteristics match up with various potential applications across the memory-storage hierarchy, and discuss its strengths including scalability and rapid switching speed. We then address challenges for the technology, including the design of PCM cells for low RESET current, the need to control device-to-device variability, and undesirable changes in the phase change material that can be induced by the fabrication procedure. We then turn to issues related to operation of PCM devices, including retention, device-to-device thermal crosstalk, endurance, and bias-polarity effects. Several factors that can be expected to enhance PCM in the future are addressed, including Multi-Level Cell technology for PCM (which offers higher density through the use of intermediate resistance states), the role of coding, and possible routes to an ultra-high density PCM technology.

Sixteen female student-athletes attending Utah State University participated in a 60 minute intervention teaching skills such as progressive muscle relaxation, stressor identification, and stress coping. Participants completed the Inventory of College Students’ Recent Life Experiences before and after the intervention. The scores collected from the inventory were used to determine whether the intervention had a significant impact on the amount of perceived stress in their lives. The findings suggest that those who participated in the 60 minute intervention experienced no change in their perceived stress levels while the control group, which did not participate in the intervention, experienced increased levels of perceived stress. The implications of using a more comprehensive intervention are discussed. Suggestions for future research in this area are also presented.

Ultrastructure of the rat ovarian germinal epithelium and its permeability to electron microscopically demonstrable tracer molecules
Creators: name: Donaldson, Ranald Ross
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The detailed fine structure of normal rat ovarian germinal epithelium was studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The germinal epithelium possesses features suggestive of an absorptive and/or secretory capacity, a marked protein synthetic ability, and possible steroid metabolism. These and other cellular features were in turn indicative of a possible germinal epithelial involvement in transcellular movement of particulate substances. In order to investigate the permeability of the germinal epithelium to molecules from the peritoneal cavity, two electron microscopic tracer molecules, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and ferritin, were injected intraperitoneally. The results indicate that there is a differential movement of these two molecules across the germinal epithelium, presumably related to the difference; in their molecular dimensions. The predominant route of movement of HRP is extracellular, apparently by diffusion through the intercellular clefts. Ferritin movement, on the other hand, is intracellular, via a vesicular transport mechanism associated with pinocytotic activity at the apical surface of the germinal epithelial cells. It is concluded that the germinal epithelium is a metabolically active tissue which plays both a passive and an active role in the movement of molecules from the peritoneal cavity.

description: A characterization of right (left) quasi-duo skew polynomial rings of endomorphism type and skew Laurent polynomial rings are given. In particular, it is shown that (1) the polynomial ring R[x] is right quasi-duo iff R[x] is commutative modulo its Jacobson radical iff R[x] is left quasi-duo, (2) the skew Laurent polynomial ring is right quasi-duo iff it is left quasi-duo. These extend some known results concerning a description of quasi-duo polynomial rings and give a partial answer to the question posed by Lam and Dugas whether right quasi-duo rings are left quasi-duo.

title: Ultrasound as an Aversive Stimulus for Use with Rats: A Novel Model of Aversive Control
Creators: name: Norlund, Brandon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: Negative reinforcers serve to maintain or increase behavior through the removal of an aversive stimulus. The primary method of studying negative reinforcement in non-humans has been through the use of electrical shock. While this method has proven to be reliable, many negative reinforcers that humans and non-humans encounter do not elicit tactile pain. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore a novel, non-human animal model of aversive control without the use of electrical shock as the negative reinforcer. A considerable amount of research has shown that various strains of rats find ultrasonic tones of certain frequencies and amplitudes to be aversive. Furthermore, ultrasonic tones do not elicit tactile pain, and unlike electrical shock, escape from an unpleasant sound is more analogous to circumstances that both humans and nonhumans encounter in their natural habitats on a daily basis. For the purposes of this study, four rats learned to escape an aversive tone by poking their head into a receptacle equipped with an infrared beam. When the beam was broken, the tone was turned off. After 20 baseline sessions of escaping the tone, that behavior was placed on extinction. In other words, the tone was no longer played during the experimental session. Therefore, the subjects had no reason to make the previously learned escape response. Our results showed a significant decrease in the escape response during extinction sessions for two of the three subjects from which we were able to obtain useable data, as well as for the mean data. While further refinement of this model is recommended, the results obtained show that the use of ultrasound as an aversive stimulus with rats can be a viable alternative to current models that use electrical shock. This novel, nonhuman animal model will make it possible to explore new procedures for researching conditions where negatively reinforced, maladaptive behaviors are maintained through other means than tactile pain.
One-loop corrections to ALP couplings

description: We derive the one-loop contributions to ALP-SM effective couplings, including all finite corrections. The complete leading-order -- dimension five -- effective linear Lagrangian is considered. The ALP is left off-shell, which is of particular impact on LHC and accelerator searches of ALP couplings to $γγ$, $ZZ$, $Zγ$, $WW$, gluons and fermions. All results are obtained in the covariant $R_ξ$ gauge. A few phenomenological consequences are also explored as illustration, with flavour diagonal channels in the case of fermions: in particular, we explore constraints on the coupling of the ALP to top quarks, that can be extracted from LHC data, from astrophysical sources and from Dark Matter direct detection experiments such as PandaX, LUX and XENON1T.

title: Critical Issues in Middle and Secondary Mathematics Placement: A Case Study
Creators: name: Summers, Morgan E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2011

description: This qualitative research project focuses on the issues facing middle and secondary mathematics placement through an extensive literature review as well as a case study of a local school district. As students move from elementary school to middle and secondary schools, they are placed into classes that appear to be based on ability. One of the driving questions of this project is how is this ability level determined? Through an in-­‐depth look at one school district, it is found that a primary source of information is both norm-­‐referenced and criterion-­‐referenced assessments given to students in fifth and eighth grades. In this school district, parents and students, with the help of guidance counselors, are the ones who make the final decisions. The role of students’ current mathematics teachers seem to be minimized, instead focusing on data such as assessment scores and previous mathematics grades. An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of this method is included. An original goal of this project was to provide the cooperating school district with not only an analysis of their status quo, but research-­‐based recommendations on improving their status quo. However, with the 2010 adoption of the Common Core Standards, these recommendations have become unnecessary so instead a look at how these standards and benchmarks will impact the students in this school district will be included.

description: We have studied the zero-temperature statistics of charge transfer between the two edges of Quantum Hall liquids with filling factors $ν_{0,1}=1/(2 m_{0,1}+1)$ forming Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The known Bethe ansatz solution for symmetric interferometer is used to obtain the cumulant-generating function of charge at constant voltage $V$ between the edges. Its low-$V$ behavior can be interpreted in terms of electron tunneling, while its large-$V$ asymptotics reproduces the $m$-state dynamics ($m\equiv 1+m_{0}+m_{1}$) of quasiparticles with fractional (for $m>1$) charge and statistics. We also analyze the transition region between electrons and quasiparticles.
