description: As Utah prepares to showcase its majestic landscapes worldwide during the 2002 Olympic Games, countless travelers continue to explore the state's splendor. Utah is famous for its land of many faces. From the red rock of Canyonland National Park to the snow-capped mountains along the Wasatch front, the state is rich in natural diversity. This diversity translates into a broad spectrum of recreational opportunities the state can offer. For instance, Utah's alpine and cross-country ski conditions are among the best in the world. In warm months, rigorous alpine and rock trails have earned Utah the reputation as the "bicycling capital of the world." In addition, river running, boating, hiking, horseback riding, rock climbing, and scenic driving are other activities available within Utah. The list of recreational possibilities appears endless.

description: From the time a fetus reaches about 20 weeks gestational age, its auditory system is functioning. Before we are ever born, we are exposed to sounds within our environment. With birth, we begin to interact with, experiment with, and learn to interpret the sounds around us. Before learning to speak, we are bombarded by the sounds of our language. An infant's head is known to perk up at the sound of a voice, a sudden noise, music... all the sounds of the environment, which is evidence that children are aware of the sounds around them before they are ever able to imitate them (Strange, 1986). The reception of sounds must play a critical part in the acquisition of speech skills, which includes cognitively processing the sounds, learning that sound has meaning, and learning to differentiate and discriminate between these sounds. Finally, skills in positioning the articulators in a way that will create the sounds used for communication and putting these sounds of language in an order that is appropriate and communicable are also necessary.

Laser driven proton acceleration and beam shaping

description: In the race to obtain protons with higher energies, using more compact systems at the same time, laser-driven plasma accelerators are becoming an interesting possibility. But for now, only beams with extremely broad energy spectra and high divergence have been produced.

The driving line of this PhD thesis was the study and design of a compact system to extract a high quality beam out of the initial bunch of protons produced by the interaction of a laser pulse with a thin solid target, using experimentally reliable technologies in order to be able to test such a system as soon as possible.

In this thesis, different transport lines are analyzed. The first is based on a high field pulsed solenoid, some collimators and, for perfect filtering and post-acceleration, a high field high frequency compact linear accelerator, originally designed to accelerate a 30 MeV beam extracted from a cyclotron.

The second one is based on a quadruplet of permanent magnetic quadrupoles: thanks to its greater simplicity and reliability, it has great interest for experiments, but the effectiveness is lower than the one based on the solenoid; in fact, the final beam intensity drops by an order of magnitude.

An additional sensible decrease in intensity is verified in the third case, where the energy selection is achieved using a chicane, because of its very low efficiency for off-axis protons.

The proposed schemes have all been analyzed with 3D simulations and all the significant results are presented. Future experimental work based on the outcome of this thesis can be planned and is being discussed now.

description: We discuss the algebra of general gauge theories that are described by the embedding tensor formalism. We compare the gauge transformations dependent and independent of an invariant action, and argue that the generic transformations lead to an infinitely reducible algebra. We connect the embedding tensor formalism to the field-antifield (or Batalin-Vilkovisky) formalism, which is the most general formulation known for general gauge theories and their quantization. The structure equations of the embedding tensor formalism are included in the master equation of the field-antifield formalism.

title: Klimaresiliente Gemeinden in städtisch geprägten Kernräumen Oberösterreichs?
Creators: name: Pöchersdorfer, Peter

description: Der Klimawandel und damit einhergehende Veränderungen werden erhebliche Auswirkungen auf unsere Form zu wohnen und zu leben haben und die Raumplanung vor die Aufgabe stellen, qualitativ hochwertigen Lebensraum mit dazugehöriger Infrastruktur sowie Versorgungssystemen aufrechtzuerhalten oder neu zu schaffen. Besonders Städte und urbane Gebiete spielen dabei eine tragende Rolle, bieten sie einerseits Lösungen im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel, während sie ihn andererseits auch vorantreiben und ohne passende Maßnahmen sehr unter den Auswirkungen leiden werden. Dabei stellen sich die Fragen, welche Priorität die Umsetzung von Strategien & Maßnahmen zur Klimawandelanpassungen in der raumplanerischen Praxis haben und welche Rolle Ansätze wie das Konzept der urbanen Resilienz in der Raumplanung spielen? Diese Fragestellungen werden dabei anhand von Gemeinden in Oberösterreich als Forschungsgebiet und mittels einer Dokumentenanalyse sowie der Q-Methode untersucht. Diese fungiert dabei als Forschungsmethode an der Schnittstellt von qualitativer und quantitativer Forschung und eignet sich zur Untersuchung subjektiver Meinungsbilder. Es zeigt sich, dass Strategien & Maßnahmen zur Klimawandelanpassung in einigen Gemeinden bereits eine hohe Priorität haben, im Durchschnitt allerdings noch keine sehr große Rolle spielen. Das Konzept der urbanen Resilienz spielt in der oberösterreichischen Raumplanung noch keine wirkliche Rolle, wird in Ansätzen aber von wenigen Gemeinden in der Praxis eingesetzt.
description: Climate change and its associated changes will have a significant impact on the way we live and work and will challenge spatial planning to maintain or create high quality living space with associated infrastructure and utilities. Cities and urban areas in particular play a key role in this context, on the one hand offering solutions in the fight against climate change, while on the other hand also driving it forward and without appropriate measures will suffer greatly from its effects. This raises the questions of what priority the implementation of climate change adaptation strategies & measures have in spatial planning practice and what role approaches such as the concept of urban resilience play in spatial planning? These questions are examined using municipalities in Upper Austria as the research area and by means of a document analysis and the Q-method. The Q-method functions as a research method at the interface of qualitative and quantitative research and is suitable for investigating subjective opinions. It is shown that strategies & measures for climate change adaptation already have a high priority in some municipalities, but on average do not yet play a very important role. The concept of urban resilience does not yet play a significant role in spatial planning in Upper Austria, but is used in practice by a few municipalities.

description: Many poets, social scientists, and philosophers have tried to understand, explain, and define jealousy. The methods employed in their pursuits are as varied as the different conclusions they have given. Three of the difficulties involved in the pursuit of jealousy are: the complex nature of jealousy, the significant role jealousy plays in interpersonal relationships, and the labyrinth encountered when trying to distinguish between jealousy and envy. The most common questions asked about jealousy are: What is jealousy? and, How can jealousy be helped? This paper will focus on the question: What is jealousy? Specifically, the following questions will be answered. 1) What sets apart the different species of the genus, jealousy? 2) How can jealousy be approached? 3) How significant is the concept 'sense of self' to understanding jealousy?

description: Recent Cerenkov observations of the two BL Lac objects PKS 2155-304 and Mkn 501 revealed TeV flux variability by a factor ~2 in just 3-5 minutes. Even accounting for the effects of relativistic beaming, such short timescales are challenging simple and conventional emitting models, and call for alternative ideas. We explore the possibility that extremely fast variable emission might be produced by particles streaming at ultra-relativistic speeds along magnetic field lines and inverse Compton scattering any radiation field already present. This would produce extremely collimated beams of TeV photons. While the probability for the line of sight to be within such a narrow cone of emission would be negligibly small, one would expect that the process is not confined to a single site, but can take place in many very localised regions, along almost straight magnetic lines. A possible astrophysical setting realising these conditions is magneto-centrifugal acceleration of beams of particles. In this scenario, the variability timescale would not be related to the physical dimension of the emitting volume, but might be determined by either the typical duration of the process responsible for the production of these high energy particle beams or by the coherence length of the magnetic field. It is predicted that even faster TeV variability - with no X-ray counterpart - should be observed by the foreseen more sensitive Cerenkov telescopes.

Comparative effects of naturally occurring, synthetic and plant estrogens on uterine metabolism
Creators: name: Kitts, David D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Various estrogens biologically equivalent to 1.0 μg estradiol-17β were administered intraperitoneally to immature female rats to monitor the relative dose and time course effects on water imbibition. Estradiol-17β, estriol and diethystil-bestrol (DES) were the strongest estrogens in inducing tissue edema. Plant estrogens, genistein and coumestrol, in pure crystalline form were approximately 10⁻³ times as potent in stimulating water imbibition as estradiol-17β. The administration of estradiol-17β, genistein and coumestrol was shown to enhance the permeability of uterine vasculature as indicated by the diffusion of intravenously infused India ink. Large doses (5.0 μg) of estradiol-17β were administered to immature female rats to measure the rate of synthesis of RNA and DNA in the uterus. It was observed that the uterine cell cycle was significantly (P < 0.025) reduced after the administration of estradiol-17β. Net accumulation of RNA and DNA was shown to occur after 12 and 24 hours respectively. The incorporation of [5,6-³H] uridine into the uterine tissue was studied by administering natural, synthetic and plant estrogens intraperitoneally to immature female rats. After a six hour period there was a decreased uterine specific activity 3 of [5,6-³H] uridine in estrogen treated rats when compared to control animals. Estradiol-17β produced the greatest reduction in the specific activity of the hydrolyzed RNA while DES, estriol and estradiol-17α produced relatively smaller reductions. The reduction of specific activity six hours after in vivo pulsing with estradiol-17β was probably due to a dilution effect associated with changes occurring in cell permeability. Genistein and coumestrol also reduced the specific activity of C5,6-³H] uridine similar to that observed with estriol. Extracts of alfalfa hay and soybean meal were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively for plant estrogens. Short in vivo pulsing of 30 minutes of various estrogens was employed to determine the uptake of [5,6-³H] uridine by the uterine tissue. Estradiol-17β, purified genistein, alfalfa and soybean extracts were found to incorporate [5,6-³H] uridine at greater rates than control groups.

description: We analyse data on forward eta-meson photoproduction off a proton target and extract the eta to gamma gamma decay width utilizing the Primakoff effect. The hadronic amplitude that enters into our analysis is strongly constrained because it is fixed from a global fit to available gamma p to p eta data for differential cross sections and polarizations. We compare our results with present information on the two-photon eta-decay from the literature. We provide predictions for future PrimEx experiments at Jefferson Laboratory in order to motivate further studies.

description: This paper describes the design and control of a support and recovery system for use with planar legged robots. The system operates in three modes. First, it can be operated in a fully transparent mode where no forces are applied to the robot. In this mode, the system follows the robot closely to be able to quickly catch the robot if needed. Second, it can provide a vertical supportive force to assist a robot during operation. Third, it can catch the robot and pull it away from the ground after a failure to avoid falls and the associated damages. In this mode, the system automatically resets the robot after a trial allowing for multiple consecutive trials to be run without manual intervention. The supportive forces are applied to the robot through an actuated cable and pulley system that uses series elastic actuation with a unidirectional spring to enable truly transparent operation. The nonlinear nature of this system necessitates careful design of controllers to ensure predictable, safe behaviors. In this paper we introduce the mechatronic design of the recovery system, develop suitable controllers, and evaluate the system's performance on the bipedal robot RAMone.

Many groups of people experience discrimination in their everyday lives--Blacks, Hispanics, Vietnamese, physically handicapped persons, and the elderly--to name just a few. Another segment of our society, women, also experience discrimination.

description: Brightening of Hen 3-860, previously classified as an H$α$ emitter, was detected by the ASAS-SN survey at the end of the year 2016. We have obtained the first spectroscopic observations of the transient and supplemented them with photometric data from the DASCH archive of astronomical plates, ASAS and ASAS-SN surveys. Based on the results of our analysis, we can classify the object as a classical symbiotic star of the infrared type S, consisting of an M2-3 giant with $T_{\rm g}$ $\sim$ 3 550 K, a radius $R_{\rm g}\sim$ 60 - 75 R$_{\odot}$, and a luminosity $L_{\rm g}\sim$ 540 - 760 L$_{\odot}$, and a hot and luminous component ($T_{\rm h}$ $\sim$ $1-2 \times 10^5$ K and $L_{\rm h} \sim 10^3 \rm L_\odot$). The system experienced at least four outbursts in the last 120 years. In addition to the outbursts, its light curves revealed the presence of eclipses of the hot component and its surrounding (relatively cool) shell, which developed during the outburst and redistributed a fraction of the radiation of the hot component into the optical, by the giant, classifying the object as a representative of a group of eclipsing symbiotic stars. The eclipses allowed us to reveal the orbital period of the system to be 602 days.

description: Given a finite, simple, vertex-weighted graph, we construct a graded associative (non-commutative) algebra, whose generators correspond to vertices and whose ideal of relations has generators that are graded commutators corresponding to edges. We show that the Hilbert series of this algebra is the inverse of the clique polynomial of the graph. Using this result it easy to recognize if the ideal is inert, from which strong results on the algebra follow. Non-commutative Grobner bases play an important role in our proof. There is an interesting application to toric topology. This algebra arises naturally from a partial product of spheres, which is a special case of a generalized moment-angle complex. We apply our result to the loop-space homology of this space.

Year: 1997

description: On January 21, 1997, a public meeting was held to obtain comment on a draft version of a document entitled the Cache Metropolitan Area Transportation Plan. The document was prepared to address the transportation needs of the Logan Urbanized Area for the next twenty years. Since work began on the document in April 1996, it had undergone three stages in the form of working papers, which had been reviewed by several committees and published for public comment over the course of its development. The document was being developed under contract for the Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization by Leigh, Scott, & Cleary, Inc., a consulting firm from Colorado Springs at a cost of $64,000. Turnout for the public meeting was marginal but lively. Of the more than 50,000 people that would be affected by the document, less than 50 attended. Approximately 30 gave spoken comments of which they were allowed two minutes to portray their thoughts. The overwhelming majority of the speakers stormed with disapproval for the "auto-centric" nature of the plan, its lack of consideration for "alternative" modes of transportation, and the simplemindedness of a solution that merely accommodated greater demand without attempting to ameliorate it. The planners seemed frustrated; the public appeared disappointed.

description: Following the United States’ decision to withdraw from the JCPOA in May 2018, the Iran dossier has come back at the forefront of contemporary world politics. New rounds of sanctions imposed on Iran are likely to have a significant impact on the political and economic sustainability of the Islamic Republic, which has recently celebrated its 40th anniversary. They will exacerbate the existing economic difficulties in the country, which may cause occasional political unrest. Indeed, sanctions are not the only hardship suffered by the Iranian economy, but serious structural and monetary problems have also emerged. However, due to the complexity of the Iranian political system, these sanctions and economic problems are not going to endanger the existence of the Islamic Republic in the short time.

Ankle Torque During Mid-Stance Does Not Lower Energy Requirements of Steady Gaits

description: In this paper, we investigate whether applying ankle torques during mid-stance can be a more effective way to reduce energetic cost of locomotion than actuating leg length alone. Ankles are useful in human gaits for many reasons including static balancing. In this work, we specifically avoid the heel-strike and toe-off benefits to investigate whether the progression of the center of pressure from heel-to-toe during mid-stance, or some other approach, is beneficial in and of itself. We use an "Ankle Actuated Spring Loaded Inverted Pendulum" model to simulate the shifting center of pressure dynamics, and trajectory optimization is applied to find limit cycles that minimize cost of transport. The results show that, for the vast majority of gaits, ankle torques do not affect cost of transport. Ankles reduce the cost of transport during a narrow band of gaits at the transition from grounded running to aerial running. This suggests that applying ankle torque during mid-stance of a steady gait is not a directly beneficial strategy, but is most likely a path between beneficial heel-strikes and toe-offs.

description: (abridged) Non-ionizing stellar continua are a source of photons for continuum pumping in the hydrogen Lyman transitions. In the environments where these transitions are optically thick, deexcitation occurs through higher series lines, so that the flux in these lines has a fluorescent contribution in addition to recombination; in particular, Balmer emissivities are systematically enhanced above case B. The effectiveness of such mechanism in HII regions and the adequacy of photoionization models as a tool to study it are the two main focuses of this work. We find that photoionization models of H II regions illuminated by low-resolution population synthesis models significantly overpredict the fluorescent contribution to the Balmer lines. Conversely, photoionization models in which the non-ionizing part of the continuum is omitted or is not transferred underpredict the fluorescent contribution to the Balmer lines, producing a bias of similar amplitude in the opposite direction. In this paper, we carry out realistic estimations of the fluorescent Balmer intensity and discuss the variations to be expected as the simulated observational setup and the stellar population's parameters are varied. In all the cases explored, we find that fluorescent excitation provides a significant contribution. We also show that differential fluorescent enhancement may produce line-of-sight differences in the Balmer decrement, mimicking interstellar extinction. Fluorescent excitation emerges from our study as a small but important mechanism for the enhancement of Balmer lines, which should be taken into account in the abundance analysis of photoionized regions, particularly in the case of high-precision applications such as the determination of primordial helium.

description: Image captioning is the task of automatically generating sentences that describe an input image in the best way possible. The most successful techniques for automatically generating image captions have recently used attentive deep learning models. There are variations in the way deep learning models with attention are designed. In this survey, we provide a review of literature related to attentive deep learning models for image captioning. Instead of offering a comprehensive review of all prior work on deep image captioning models, we explain various types of attention mechanisms used for the task of image captioning in deep learning models. The most successful deep learning models used for image captioning follow the encoder-decoder architecture, although there are differences in the way these models employ attention mechanisms. Via analysis on performance results from different attentive deep models for image captioning, we aim at finding the most successful types of attention mechanisms in deep models for image captioning. Soft attention, bottom-up attention, and multi-head attention are the types of attention mechanism widely used in state-of-the-art attentive deep learning models for image captioning. At the current time, the best results are achieved from variants of multi-head attention with bottom-up attention.

title: A Study to Examine the Effectiveness of the Electropalatograph in Elicitation and the Remediation of a Lateral Lisp in an Adult Client
Creators: name: Butikofer, Nathan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: The electropalatograph is an exciting new instrument that is still being researched for clinical use in the remediation of various types of articulation disorders. The electropalatograph gives both client and clinician visual feedback of the client's articulatory productions. Specifically, it allows a client and a clinician to view on a screen exactly where the tongue is placed in relation to the hard and soft palate (McWilliams, 1990).

description: Regular superconducting solution for interior of the Kerr-Newman (KN) spinning particle is obtained. For parameters of electron it represents a highly oblated rotating bubble formed by Higgs field which expels the electromagnetic (em) field and currents from interior to domain wall boundary of the bubble. The external em and gravitational fields correspond exactly to Kerr-Newman solution, while interior of the bubble is flat and forms a `false' vacuum with zero energy density. Vortex of the KN em field forms a quantum Wilson loop on the edge of the rotating disk-like bubble.

From Old School to High School: Arts Organizations and the Teenage Audience
Creators: name: Veresink Richmond, Michelle Erin
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 3604
subject: Performing arts

description: This study investigated the current relationship between performing arts organizations and the teenage audience, defined as individuals between the ages of 13 and 18. Special attention was given to this demographic and their interactions and reactions to arts education, programming choices, marketing, and the use of new technologies. Six arts managers from leading arts organizations in the greater Washington, D.C. area and two education professors from American University were interviewed. They provided insight into the current trends and problems that arts organizations are facing when trying to reach out to this younger generation. Most current outreach is through arts educations programs because many organizations do not find it financially beneficial to market to teens. This research has shown that arts organizations need to give special attention to how they can make their venues more inviting to teens and how they use technology to communicate with this generation, in hopes of turning them into lifelong supporters of the arts.
Bird communities in relation to the structure of urban habitats
Creators: name: Lancaster, Richard K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study is an investigation of the hypothesis that bird species' abundances and other characteristics of bird communities in urban areas are a function of habitat structure. To this end, eight study plots of approximately eight hectares each were selected in Vancouver, B.C., and described in terms of area covered by different classes of foliage, buildings, and other man-made features of the habitat. In addition, the amount of food intended for birds provided by people was estimated. The range of habitats represented by the plots depicted a gradient of urbanization; one extreme was a downtown commercial district and the other was a woodland. Birds were counted at regular intervals on these plots for one year. Bird species diversity (H'), the number of species, and the number of foraging guilds decreased with decreasing vegetation cover, especially during spring migration and summer breeding seasons. The number and diversity of bird species is not influenced by the diversity of man-made structures. In most plots, bird species diversity was lower in summer than in winter. Seasonal changes in bird species diversity were not related to urbanization. However, changes in number of species were greater in habitats with more vegetation. Evenness of species' abundances did not change greatly with season in most plots, but declined noticeably with urbanization. A few species of birds were most abundant throughout the urban environment; these were the Rock Dove (Domestic Pigeon), Starling, House Sparrow, and American Robin. The degree of numerical dominance by the first three of these species generally increased with urbanization in all seasons. Omnivorous species were the most abundant type in all urban habitats, in all seasons. There was a decrease in the relative abundance of insectivores in winter (many of these were migratory). Differences among plots in total bird density is not related to the amount of vegetation cover. However, human residents of suburban plots provided substantial amounts of food for birds, and this is thought to have had a pronounced effect on total bird density, especially in the winter. Bird densities in most habitats were highest in the winter, when some species appeared to be distributed in response to the availability of food provided by man, others in response to the amount of natural food available. It is hypothesized that resident bird species respond directly to essential factors (e.g. food) to a greater extent than migrants. Migrants are generally believed to be using habitat characteristics that are cues for these factors, in their selection of habitat.

Quantum UV/IR Relations and Holographic Dark Energy from Entropic Force

description: We investigate the implications of the entropic force formalism proposed by Verlinde. We show that an UV/IR relation proposed by Cohen et al, as well as an uncertainty principle proposed by Hogan can be derived from the entropic force formalism. We show that applying the entropic force formalism to cosmology, there is an additional term in the Friedmann equation, which can be identified as holographic dark energy. We also propose an intuitive picture of holographic screen, which can be thought of as an improvement of Susskind's holographic screen.

title: Grenzüberschreitendes Gesundheitszentrum - Einzelfall oder Zukunftskonzept?
Creators: name: Haumer, Michaela
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit geht der Frage nach, ob grenzüberschreitende Gesundheitszentren ein Konzept für ländliche Grenzregionen in Niederösterreich sein können, um dort die medizinische Versorgung zu verbessern. Dafür wird das erste grenzüberschreitende Gesundheitszentrum in Europa „Healthacross MED Gmünd“ unter Bezugnahme auf die Standards der Services of General Interest analysiert. Weiters wird die Rolle der Europäischen Union in der Gesundheitspolitik erklärt und herausgearbeitet, welche Aufgaben sie bei den grenzüberschreitenden Projekten übernimmt. Hauptsächlich wird ihr die Rolle der Geldgeberin zuteil, da die meisten Gesundheitsprojekte durch EU-finanzierte INTERREG-Projekte umgesetzt werden können. Auch das Projekt in Gmünd wird durch INTERREG gefördert. Für die Analyse und Bewertung des Gesundheitszentrums Healthacross MED Gmünd werden Vergleiche zu den Konzepten in Frankreich und Belgien und zum grenzüberschreitenden Krankenhaus in Cerdanya in Spanien gezogen. Es wird festgestellt, dass wesentliche Aspekte dieser Projekte im Gesundheitszentrum Gmünd nicht umgesetzt und die Standards der Services of General Interest nicht vollumfänglich erfüllt sind, weshalb weitere derartige Gesundheitszentren für niederösterreichische Grenzregionen nicht empfohlen werden.
description: This thesis deals with the question whether cross-border healthcare centers are a suitable means to improve the medical care in rural border regions in Lower Austria. Therefore, the first cross-border healthcare center in Europe “Healthacross MED Gmünd“ is evaluated according to the standards of Services of General Interest. Furthermore, the influence of the European Union on the health policy is explained and its duties concerning cross-border projects are mentioned. The EU’s primary responsibility is providing the projects with funds as the most healthcare ventures are financed through INTERREG. This is also the case in the healthcare center in Gmünd. In order to analyze and evaluate Healthacross MED Gmünd comparisons to concepts in France and Belgium and to the cross-border hospital in Cerdanya in Spain are drawn. It is established that core elements of these two projects are not implemented and that the standards of the Services of General Interest are not entirely met in the healthcare center in Gmünd. Hence, the implementation of new healthcare centers of this kind is not recommended for other border regions in Lower Austria.
