description: Via computer simulations of the standard binary Lennard-Jones glass former we have obtained in a systematic way a large set of close-by pairs of minima on the potential energy landscape, i.e. double-well potentials (DWP). We analyze this set of DWP in two directions. At low temperatures the symmetric DWP give rise to tunneling systems. We compare the resulting low-temperature anomalies with those, predicted by the standard tunneling model. Deviations can be traced back to the energy dependence of the relevant quantities like the number of tunneling systems. Furthermore we analyze the local structure around a DWP as well as the translational pattern during the transition between both minima. Local density anomalies are crucial for the formation of a tunneling system. Two very different kinds of tunneling systems are observed, depending on the type of atom (small or large) which forms the center of the tunneling system. In the first case the tunneling system can be interpreted as a single-particle motion, in the second case it is more collective.

description: Gravitomagnetism characterize phenomena in the weak field limit within the context of rotating systems. These are mainly manifested in the geodetic and Lense-Thirring effects. The geodetic effect describes the precession of the spin of a gyroscope in orbit about a massive static central object, while the Lense-Thirring effect expresses the analogous effect for the precession of the orbit about a rotating source. In this work, we explore these effects in the framework of Teleparallel Gravity and investigate how these effects may impact recent and future missions. We find that teleparallel theories of gravity may have an important impact on these effects which may constrain potential models within these theories.

Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 1997

description: Im vorliegenden Artikel wird über deutsche Naturschutzgebiete berichtet, die wenigstens teilweise Moorflächen enthalten; "Moor" wird hier im geologisch-bodenkundlichen Sinn als Gebiet mit einer Torfdecke von mindestens 30 cm verstanden. Die Zahlen solcher Moor-Naturschutzgebiete der einzelnen Bundesländer sind in Tabelle 2 zusammengestellt. Dabei wurden Naturschutzgebiete, die Hochmoorflächen ‒ gleich, welcher Größe ‒ enthalten, und Gebiete mit ausschließlich Niedermoorvorkommen (vielfach neben Mineralbodenflächen) getrennt erfaßt. Außer Zahlen für die Gegenwart (1992 bis 1996‚ je nach dem Jahr der in den einzelnen Ländern zugrundeliegenden Erhebungen) wurden die entsprechenden Daten auch für 1970 und 1945 wiedergegeben, und es wurde versucht, einige allgemeine Züge hinsichtlich der regionalen Verteilung sowie der Zeitpunkte der Ausweisungen herauszuarbeiten. Ergänzend werden einige neue Zahlen über die Gesamt-Moorflächen der einzelnen Bundesländer genannt (Kapitel 2) sowie einige Tatsachen über die Anfänge und die weitere Entwicklung des Moor-Naturschutzes in Deutschland seit der Jahrhundertwende wiedergegeben (Kapitel 3.2). Ein Anhang (Kapitel 5) enthält Details über die Moor-Naturschutzgebiete, teilweise auch über die Gesamt-Moorflächen der einzelnen Bundesländer.
description: The paper deals with German nature-reserves containing peatland areas in at least some proportion. Peatland is meant here in the sense of areas with a peat cover of more than 30 cm thickness. The numbers and total areas of these "peatland nature-reserves” of the different German Federal States are listed in table 2. Here a distinction is made between nature-reserves containing larger or smaller proportions of ombrotrophic mires (bogs) and others which only comprise minerotrophic mires (fens), both of them in many cases amongst the mire areas with mineral soils too. The numbers and areas are given not only for present days (i.e. the years between 1992 and 1996, varying in the single States) but also for 1970 and 1945. It is tried to work out some general features with regard to the regional distribution of the peatland nature-reserves as well as to the times of their establishment. In addition, some new data on the total peatland areas of the single German Federal States are quoted (chapter 2) and some facts are compiled on the beginnings and development of mire conservation activities in Germany since the turn of our century (chapter 3.2). In an appendix (chapter 5) details on peatland nature-reserves, in part also on peatland areas of the different German Federal States are given.

description: We investigate coarsening dynamics in the two-dimensional, incompressible Toner-Tu equation. We show that coarsening proceeds via vortex merger events, and the dynamics crucially depend on the Reynolds number Re. For low Re, the coarsening process has similarities to Ginzburg-Landau dynamics. On the other hand, for high Re, coarsening shows signatures of turbulence. In particular, we show the presence of an enstrophy cascade from the intervortex separation scale to the dissipation scale.

A Triangular Bargain: Narration and Power in Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin and Alias Grace
Creators: name: Quinn, Alyssa Michelle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis analyzes reader-writer relationships in two novels by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin and Alias Grace. The plots of both these novels revolve around scenes of storytelling, in which tensions arise between the narrator and her audience. In The Blind Assassin, the elderly protagonist tells her granddaughter the truth about their family's past in an effort to achieve redemption. In Alias Grace, a convicted murderess tells her story to a psychiatrist who hopes to prove either her guilt or innocence. In my thesis, I examine how each of these narrative relationships reflects the relative powers of narrator and audience to define truth, shape identities, and assign meaning. Both parties have specific motivations for entering the relationship, and so each one vies for control of the story, sometimes to disastrous effect. Drawing on contemporary literary theory, this research explores the respective powers of reader, writer, and the text itself, and discusses how each one shapes the meaning of narrative. The thesis finally concludes that successfully navigating the narrative relationship can lead to personal empowerment and social connection, while failing to do so can be destructive. Ultimately, this project hopes to provide insight for real-world readers and writers as they enter into narrative relationships of their own.

description: In quantum technologies, point defects in semiconductors are becoming more significant. Understanding the frequency, intensity, and polarization of the zero phonon line is important. The last two properties are the subject of this paper. I present a method for calculating these properties and show the importance of using wave functions from both the ground and excited state. The validity of this method is demonstrated on the divacancy in 4H-SiC. Here, the calculated polarization and lifetimes are in excellent agreement with experimental measurements. In general, this method can help to identify point defects and estimate suitable applications.

The OPM Data Breach: Lessons Learned
Creators: name: Wheat, Michael
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: In 2015 the federal government announced the largest data breach in United States government history. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was hacked, and the personal information of more than 25 million American people was lost to foreign attackers. This incident has spawned concern and outrage about the security of government data in the emerging digital age.
Moving forward from the breach questions remain about how this event happened. It's clear that there were weaknesses that were taken advantage of by malicious threats abroad, and investigations into the attack have yielded surprising results. Not only was the security in place at OPM insufficient, this fact had been known for years leading up to the breach. Along with the agency, third-party contractors working with the agency and the federal government contributed to the weak security controls that allowed this calamity to occur.
With cyber security moving to the forefront of the American public's mind, it is important to understand what has been done to shore up the defenses in place to protect federal data since the attack, and what can be done in the future to prevent attacks like this to from being successful in the future. Cybersecurity will be increasingly important for the government to address as hackers and other militant groups gain access to better hacking technology.

description: We deform representative volume elements of amorphous carbon obtained from melt-quenches in molecular dynamics calculations using bond-order and machine learning interatomic potentials. A Drucker-Prager law with a zero-pressure flow stress of $41.2$~GPa and an internal friction coefficient of $0.39$ describes the deviatoric stress during flow as a function of pressure. We identify the mean coordination number as the order parameter describing this flow surface. However, a description of the dynamical relaxation of the quenched samples towards steady-state flow requires an additional order parameter. We suggest an intrinsic strain of the samples as a possible order parameter and present equations for its evolution. Our results provide insights into rehybridization and pressure dependence of friction between coated surfaces as well as routes towards the description of amorphous carbon in macroscale models of deformation.

The Effect of Pure Infrared Light on the Growth of Rhodospirrilum rubrum
Creators: name: Wilkes, Jordan Lee
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Scientists who study aquatic ecosystems quickly notice a diversity of pathways that different microbes and organisms can use to metabolize nutrients found in common ponds or pools. Competition for vital resources, such as light and inorganic minerals, allow only certain organisms to grow in certain niches within these ecosystems. Rhodospirillum rubrum is a gram negative, photosynthetic bacteria that competes for light within aquatic ecosystems in order to survive. R. rubrum is believed to specifically absorb light for photosynthesis at wavelengths in the range of infrared light. It was found that R. rubrum indeed can grow in "dark", anaerobic environments by being grown purely on infrared light. This was facilitated in the lab by growing R. rubrum on pure infrared light and comparing the absorbance of these cultures with a control of R. rubrum grown using an incandescent light bulb (visible light). Because of these findings, it is believed that R. rubrum can grow in ponds and other aquatic environments where organic filters, such as algae pollution, have absorbed all visible light for photosynthesis. Furthermore, our data supports the fact that R. rubrum could hypothetically grow entirely off of infrared light in aquatic environments. Strains of unknown bacteria have been found to grow on pure infrared light with acetone as the carbon source.

We show that this flow converges nearly always to the stable phase. Starting out from the symmetric Hamiltonian and symmetry-broken normal ordering nearly always yields symmetry breaking below the critical temperature.

description: Sterile neutrinos are one of the leading dark matter candidates. Their masses may originate from a vacuum expectation value of a scalar field. If the sterile neutrino couplings are very small and their direct coupling to the inflaton is forbidden by the lepton number symmetry, the leading dark matter production mechanism is the freeze-in scenario. We study this possibility in the neutrino mass range up to 1 GeV, taking into account relativistic production rates based on the Bose-Einstein statistics, thermal masses and phase transition effects. The specifics of the production mechanism and the dominant mode depend on the relation between the scalar and sterile neutrino masses as well as on whether or not the scalar is thermalized. We find that the observed dark matter abundance can be produced in all of the cases considered. We also revisit the freeze-in production of a Higgs portal scalar, pointing out the importance of a fusion mode, as well as the thermalization constraints.

description: Iterating the procedure of making a double cover over a given variety, we construct large families of smooth higher-dimensional Fano varieties of index 1. These varieties can be realized as complete intersections in various weighted projective spaces. A generic variety in these families is proved to be birationally superrigid; in particular, it admits no non-trivial structures of a fibration into rationally connected (or uniruled) varieties, it is non-rational and its groups of birational and biregular self-maps coincide.

description: To investigate the possibility of a ghost-antighost condensate the coupled Dyson--Schwinger equations for the gluon and ghost propagators in Yang--Mills theories are derived in general covariant gauges, including ghost-antighost symmetric gauges. The infrared behaviour of these two-point functions is studied in a bare-vertex truncation scheme which has proven to be successful in Landau gauge. In all linear covariant gauges the same infrared behaviour as in Landau gauge is found: The gluon propagator is infrared suppressed whereas the ghost propagator is infrared enhanced. This infrared singular behaviour provides indication against a ghost-antighost condensate. In the ghost-antighost symmetric gauges we find that the infrared behaviour of the gluon and ghost propagators cannot be determined when replacing all dressed vertices by bare ones. The question of a BRST invariant dimension two condensate remains to be further studied.

title: The effects of landscape heterogeneity and change on beetle community composition
Creators: name: Foster, Christopher William
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: Biodiversity conservation in anthropogenically modified landscapes requires consideration of the interactions between communities of species, the spatial heterogeneity of landscapes and their change through time. The significance of insects for understanding the biodiversity crisis is well known. However, we lack even basic information about the vast majority of insects and the response of many taxa to landscape heterogeneity is poorly understood. Several groups of beetles, especially ground beetles (Carabidae), are frequently employed as indicators in landscape-scale studies. To more fully understand the range of responses to landscape heterogeneity and change in beetles, this thesis considers three beetle communities in varied landscape contexts. A novel application of historical land use data was used to consider time lag in woodland ground beetles’ response to landscape change. Flower-visiting beetles and coprophilous beetles were considered in the context of an agriculture-dominated landscape mosaic and on a gradient of urban land use, respectively. All three communities were modified to some degree by landscape heterogeneity, with responses mediated by traits such as body size, dispersal ability and feeding guild. Woodland ground beetle communities were more strongly linked to landscape patterns in the 18th and 19th centuries, providing evidence for an extinction debt that may be on the order of 200 years. Flowervisiting beetle communities were shaped by mesoscale landscape composition, especially the amount of tree cover and gardens in the surrounding 200 metres. A widespread but little-studied genus of flower-visiting beetles (Scraptiidae: Anaspis) displayed heterogeneous sex ratios among the sites visited; the distribution and sex ratios of two species were linked to local habitat composition and structure, measured using LiDAR data. Coprophilous beetles were less speciesrich in urban sites, but some species appeared to benefit from urbanisation. Potential applications of these results are considered along with suggestions for future research in landscape entomology.

Under Cover: An Exploration of Book Cover Design and Reader Perception of the Text
Creators: name: Williams, Maria
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: I am double majoring in graphic design and English and in doing so, am interested in studying the view of book cover design in both disciplines. This is partly a continuation of an Honors contract I did with Bob Winward in Fall 2015 when I designed multiple book covers. In this contract, a major aspect that determined whether a cover design was successful or not was whether the design was "true" to the text in the book. A literary critic, as opposed to a graphic designer who creates the cover, is given a book (and therefore a cover) and thus the cover art influences their interpretation of the text. In this thesis, I try to reconcile the two disciplines and the different attitudes they have towards book cover design. I will start by discussing the process of creating cover art and what makes a successful book cover according to graphic designers in the field. I discuss my own experience designing book covers for an Honors contract and how being an English major influenced my design process. I then explore the topic from an English major' s perspective by analyzing four different editions of Jane Austen' s Sense and Sensibility. In doing so, I examine how different aspects from the text are shown in each book cover and question whether "truth" is as easy to judge as a literary critic as it is to judge as a graphic designer. I ultimately hope to give greater understanding to book cover design as both a literary critic and as a graphic designer, and question whether the two disciplines can be reconciled.

description: Full consumption insurance implies that consumers are able to perfectly share risk by equalizing state by state their inter-temporal marginal rates of substitution in the presence of idiosyncratic endowment shocks. In this paper I test the implications of full consumption insurance using band spectrum regression methods. I argue that moving to the frequency domain provides a possible solution to many difficulties tied to tests of perfect risk sharing. In particular, it provides a unifying framework to test consumption smoothing, both over time and across states of nature. Full consumption insurance is soundly rejected at business cycle frequencies.

The frequency is measured using a ring-cavity resonator whose length is calibrated against a reference laser locked to the $D_2$ line of $^{87}$Rb, the frequency of which is known to 10 kHz. We have used this to measure the hyperfine structure in the $5P_{3/2}$ state of $^{85}$Rb. We obtain precise values for the hyperfine constants $A=25.041(6)$ MHz and $B=26.013(25)$ MHz, and a value of 77.992(20) MHz for the isotope shift in the $D_2$ line.

A Mixed Methods Analysis of the Family Support Experiences of LGBTQ Latter-Day Saints
Creators: name: Mattingly, McKay Stevens
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: A burgeoning vein of research assesses links between familial support and psychosocial health among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (LGBTQ) individuals. This study is a cross-sectional, multi-method survey that examined these associations in highly religious families. Participants were 587 individuals who identified as LGBTQ, were affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS), and were between the ages of 18 and 30. Reports of early support from families were significantly associated with various measures of psychosocial health, more consistently for men than women. In addition, participants provided written narratives in response to an open-ended question asking about the reactions of their parents, family members, and faith community when they disclosed their non-heterosexual orientation. Analyses yielded a continuum of reactions, 1) positive or affirming 2) a conditionally positive response 3) avoidance and/or lack of knowledge 4) distress and guilt and 5) anger or hostility. Within the non-affirming range of responses, subthemes emerged related to specific patterns of condemnation of the person's non-heterosexual identity, and coercion to change sexual orientation. Participants own words are used to provide depth to the observed themes.
Exploring the Potential of Video Games as Educational and Story-Telling Tools
Creators: name: Kitchen, Kelsen Amy
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: For my honors thesis, I have attempted to explore the potential of video games as educational and storytelling tools. The central questions I formulated before beginning this project are twofold:
1. How can video games be used as tools to educate players?
2. How can video games be used to tell stories, and how are they unique from other storytelling methods?
In pursuit of the answer to the first question, I conducted a literature review of articles that explored the educational and cultural potential of various video games. The articles that I surveyed were diverse, ranging from studies of elementary school classrooms that used "exerlearning" (exercise learning) games to a survey of players of a MMORPG games that had a built-in "religion." Conducting this review helped to expand my understanding of how video games are being used and how they potentially can be used as educational tools. I found that, in many different settings around the world, researchers are studying how video games can increase student engagement, enhance empathy, and offer new shades of education to the student experience in several more factors.
To answer my second question, I wanted to be a little more hands-on. I wanted to attempt to "tell a story'' using a video game as the delivery method. I wrote and built a choose-your-own adventure game myself. In each step of the process, I sought to integrate skills that I have learned and developed throughout my college career, including story writing, document design, and usability and game testing.

description: Magnetic dipole (M1) excitations build not only a fundamental mode of nucleonic transitions, but they are also relevant for nuclear astrophysics applications. We have established a theory framework for description of M1 transitions based on the relativistic nuclear energy density functional. For this purpose the relativistic quasiparticle random phase approximation (RQRPA) is established using density dependent point coupling interaction DD-PC1, supplemented with the isovector-pseudovector interaction channel in order to study unnatural parity transitions. The introduced framework has been validated using the M1 sum rule for core-plus-two-nucleon systems, and employed in studies of the spin, orbital, isoscalar and isovector M1 transition strengths, that relate to the electromagnetic probe, in magic nuclei $^{48}$Ca and $^{208}$Pb, and open shell nuclei $^{42}$Ca and $^{50}$Ti. In these systems, the isovector spin-flip M1 transition is dominant, mainly between one or two spin-orbit partner states. It is shown that pairing correlations have a significant impact on the centroid energy and major peak position of the M1 mode. The M1 excitations could provide an additional constraint to improve nuclear energy density functionals in the future studies.

description: Little is known by economists about how emotions affect productivity. To make persuasive progress, some way has to be found to assign people exogenously to different feelings. We design a randomized trial. In it, some subjects have their happiness levels increased, while others in a control group do not. We show that a rise in happiness leads to greater productivity in a paid piece-rate task. The effect is large; it can be replicated; it is not a reciprocity effect; and it is found equally among males and females. We discuss the implications for economics.
Crossing Over Mediums: Experimentation with Watercolor and Printmaking
Creators: name: Spjut, Alyssa
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: My interest lies in creating strong compositions that incorporate color, abstract lines, and shapes. Color is my main focus and I am interested in how the colors in my watercolor sketches translate into my printmaking work and vice versa. The comparison of the more spontaneous and organic way of working with watercolor, in contrast to the printmaking process, which involves strategy and planning, could end in some unusual and unexpected results.
My thesis is based on my exploration of merging or translating my watercolor paintings with my printmaking work. By using and combining formal elements such as line, shape, texture, space and color 1 can work towards abstraction. This process of working with different media will allow me to use techniques 1 have learned from my classes and bring together aspects from each medium to create an interaction of multiple media. My goal was to experiment with watercolor drawings, various printmaking media, and combine them in a variety of ways, both directly and indirectly.

description: We present a simple and unified classification of macroscopic electromagnetic resonances in finite arbitrarily inhomogeneous isotropic dielectric 3D structures situated in free space. By observing the complex-plane dynamics of the spatial spectrum of the volume integral operator as a function of angular frequency and constitutive parameters we identify and generalize all the usual resonances, including complex plasmons, real laser resonances in media with gain, and real quasi-static resonances in media with negative permittivity and gain.

Design and Construction of an Omni-Directional Soccer Ball Thrower
Creators: name: Marquette, Andrew James
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Introduction
We are ODST the Omni-Directional Soccer Ball Thrower team which designed the soccer ball launching machine. Working in direct correlation with the project sponsor John Meade from Athlonic Sports this is the report outlining the soccer ball thrower. John from Athlonic Sports came up with the overall project and initial project vision. There are soccer ball launching machines on the market but lacking mobility, not amiable and are heavy. The design needed to be mobile, amiable, lightweight, and have a soccer ball capacity incorporated into the machine. This will allow coaches to repeatability place the soccer ball in certain location to improve the soccer player skills.
Background
Anyone who has played soccer can tell you how hard it is to consistently kick or throw a ball in the same manner when performing routine drills. Soccer ball launchers are the solution to the inconsistency. They help make practice both more potent and efficient, while also opening up the possibility for new drills and practice techniques. Currently, a variety of soccer ball launcher designs exist. But the portability both on and off the field has been a large challenge. The goal of this project was to create a design that allowed for ease of transportation to the field, as well as use on the field, increasing the marketability of its use.

description: In this study, we investigate the magnetoelectric (ME) effect of the newly discovered antiferromagnetic (AFM) compound Ce$_{3}$TiBi$_{5}$ with a hexagonal structure (space group $P6_{3}$/$mcm$). In this system, Ce ions form zig-zag chains that extend along the $c$-axis. We focus on the lack of the local inversion symmetry at the Ce site, although the crystal structure has an inversion center. A theoretical study has predicted that magnetization can be induced by an electric current in the AFM ordering on the zig-zag chain. We conducted magnetization measurements on Ce$_{3}$TiBi$_{5}$ under an applied constant electric current and a static magnetic field around the AFM ordering temperature of $T_{\rm N}$ = 5.0 K. We successfully observed of the current-induced magnetization below $T_{\rm N}$. The magnitude of the current-induced magnetization has a linear electric current dependence and exhibits no magnetic field dependence. This behavior is consistent with the theoretical prediction of the ME effect in the ferrotoroidal ordered state.

selenium

description: Selenium, a trace element fundamental to human health, is incorporated as the amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) into more than 25 proteins, referred to as selenoproteins. Human mutations in SECISBP2, SEPSECS and TRU-TCA1-1, three genes essential in the selenocysteine incorporation pathway, affect the expression of most if not all selenoproteins. Systemic selenoprotein deficiency results in a complex, multifactorial disorder, reflecting loss of selenoprotein function in specific tissues and/or long-term impaired selenoenzyme-mediated defence against oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress. SEPSECS mutations are associated with a predominantly neurological phenotype with progressive cerebello-cerebral atrophy. Selenoprotein deficiency due to SECISBP2 and TRU-TCA1-1 defects are characterized by abnormal circulating thyroid hormones due to lack of Sec-containing deiodinases, low serum selenium levels (low SELENOP, GPX3), with additional features (myopathy due to low SELENON; photosensitivity, hearing loss, increased adipose mass and function due to reduced antioxidant and endoplasmic reticulum stress defence) in SECISBP2 cases. Antioxidant therapy ameliorates oxidative damage in cells and tissues of patients, but its longer term benefits remain undefined. Ongoing surveillance of patients enables ascertainment of additional phenotypes which may provide further insights into the role of selenoproteins in human biological processes.

description: We report on the g factor measurement of the isomer in $^{61}Fe$ ($E^{*}=861 keV$). The isomer was produced and spin-aligned via a projectile-fragmentation reaction at intermediate energy, the Time Dependent Perturbed Angular Distribution (TDPAD) method being used for the measurement of the g factor. For the first time, due to significant improvements of the experimental technique, an appreciable residual alignment of the isomer has been observed, allowing a precise determination of its g factor: $g=-0.229(2)$. Comparison of the experimental g factor with shell-model and mean field calculations confirms the $9/2^+$ spin and parity assignments and suggests the onset of deformation due to the intrusion of Nilsson orbitals emerging from the $νg_{9/2}$.
