description: The interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) represents the decadal mode of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon. As such the IPO is one of the dominant modes of decadal climate variability on both sides of the Pacific Ocean basin. For this paper we utilized a newly developed tree-ring data network comprised of five multi-centennial Vietnamese cypress ring-width chronologies that range from around 11°N–23°N latitude. We combined these data with an average of tree-ring derived drought indices from the North American Drought Atlas over the south central USA, from a box that spans from 27.5°N–35.0°N, 85.0°–110.0°W and contains 55 gridpoints and more than 100 tree ring site chronologies, these 2 locations exhibit rainfall variations that are strongly, negatively correlated with each other and are representative of the influence of the IPO on terrestrial rainfall. The final reconstruction model, weighted most heavily on the three most southerly of the five Vietnamese cypress records, spans from 1350 to 2004, and explains nearly 57% of the variance in the original IPO data for the 5-month season of October–February. The reconstruction model passes all standard statistical tests using a split calibrationverification scheme. We reveal 15 positive and 15 negative phase shifts of the IPO prior to the period of instrumentation, suggesting that the IPO has been active for at least the past seven centuries with varying degrees of intensity. We compare our reconstruction with two related millennial records: the MacDonald and Case (Geophys Res Lett 32(8):L08703, 2005) tree ring-derived reconstruction of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and an ice core-derived reconstruction of the IPO from the Law Dome Ice core in Antarctica by Vance et al. (Geophys Res Lett 33(6):L06712, 2015). While there is good general agreement with the latter record, there are three key periods of the past where the two records are out of phase, and we explore the reasons for this disparity. Direct comparison with the related Tripole Index (TPI) shows weaker correlation, likely owing to the stronger relationship between our tree ring data and the equatorial Pacific region relative to the north and south regions of the Pacific that combine to comprise the TPI calculation.

title: Advancement of Computing on Large Datasets via Parallel Computing and Cyberinfrastructure
Creators: name: Yildirim, Ahmet Artu
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: Large datasets require efficient processing, storage and management to efficiently extract useful information for innovation and decision-making. This dissertation demonstrates novel approaches and algorithms using virtual memory approach, parallel computing and cyberinfrastructure. First, we introduce a tailored user-level virtual memory system for parallel algorithms that can process large raster data files in a desktop computer environment with limited memory. The application area for this portion of the study is to develop parallel terrain analysis algorithms that use multi-threading to take advantage of common multi-core processors for greater efficiency. Second, we present two novel parallel WaveCluster algorithms that perform cluster analysis by taking advantage of discrete wavelet transform to reduce large data to coarser representations so data is smaller and more easily managed than the original data in size and complexity. Finally, this dissertation demonstrates an HPC gateway service that abstracts away many details and complexities involved in the use of HPC systems including authentication, authorization, and data and job management.
title: Welfare State Context and Individual Health: The Role of Decommodification in Shaping Self-Perceived Health
Creators: name: Abel, Karin M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: My research brings together two areas of sociological inquiry. The first area involves the study of the welfare state and the second the determinants of health status. Drawing on Esping-Andersen's work concerning a particular aspect of the welfare state, decommodification, two questions are of interest. First, are individuals in countries with more decommodifying welfare states less likely to report poor self-perceived health than individuals in countries with less decommodifying welfare states? Second, does decommodification affect the health of various population groups in different ways? Gender and income groups are of interest here. Theoretically, I argue that the welfare state impacts the stratification order, that social inequality is tied to social cohesion, and that social cohesion is linked to health. I draw on sources of both country- and individual- level data, including the comparative welfare Entitlements dataset, the World Values Survey, and the European Values Study, to test hypotheses concerning the link between decommodification and self-perceived health. In general, I hypothesize that higher levels of decommodification will contribute to a decreased likelihood that individuals report poor self-perceived health. Given the miltilevel structure of my research questions and hypotheses, I use multilevel binary logistic regression to assess relationships of interest. My findings indicate that, for all groups, decommodification does not have a statistically significant relationship with self-perceived health. In other words, higher levels of welfare support do not decrease the likelihood that individuals report poor health. To elaborate, for all groups, those who are trusting, as compared to those who are not, are less likely to report poor health. Overall, the data do not support my hypotheses, revealing potential flaws in my theory linking the welfare state and health status. My research, then, has both theoretical and empirical implications.

Generational links in the poverty cycle : an analysis of the significance of selected variables, education, occupation and receipt of public assistance, seen as generational links in the low-income life style
Creators: name: McCargar, Donamae A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This study is one of four research projects which examined the National Urban Low-Income Family Evaluation Study (NULIFE). Under the auspices of the Canada Welfare Council, NULIFE examined poverty in three urban areas of Canada. The purpose of this particular study was to examine the many factors which contribute to generational links in the poverty cycle in metropolitan areas across Canada. There is a vast range of literature and research reports available from the United States on the poverty cycle and its etiology but examination of the factors which followed a familiar pattern seem to occupy a secondary position. It is to be hoped, therefore, that this study will stimulate further enquiries in this area, as well as contribute to knowledge of poverty in Canada. Examination of the NULIFE data for generational links did not produce any radical conclusions. The research indicated that the selected variables education, occupation and welfare were pertinent to the inexorable process of poverty. They were examined in separate sections of the report from the point of view that low education, lack of job skills, and dependence on welfare are self-generating, and present the poor with barriers to economic betterment. This study theorized that these critical variables were closely interrelated. For example, education was related to lack of occupational skills, et cetera. Although it was found that the selected variables were contributors to generational links in the cycle of poverty, such conclusions could only be made tentatively, as the analysis lacked strength. It was therefore not possible to indicate causality as many other cultural determinants of poverty, such as attitudes, values, expectations et cetera, were not available to be tested.
title: Mechanical Properties of Kenaf Composites Using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Natural fibers show potential to replace glass fibers in thermoset and thermoplastic composites. Kenaf is a bast-type fiber with high specific strength and great potential to compete with glass fibers.
In this research kenaf/epoxy composites were analyzed using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). A three-point bend apparatus was used in the DMA testing. The samples were tested at 1 hertz, at a displacement of 10 μm, and at room temperature.
The fiber volume content of the kenaf was varied from 20%-40% in 5% increments. Ten samples of each fiber volume fraction were manufactured and tested. The flexural storage modulus, the flexural loss modulus, and the loss factor were reported. Generally as the fiber volume fraction of kenaf increased, the flexural storage and flexural loss modulus increased. The loss factor remained relatively constant with increasing fiber volume fraction.
Woven and chopped fiberglass/epoxy composites were manufactured and tested to be compared with the kanaf/epoxy composites were manufactured and tested to be compared with the kenaf/epoxy composites. Both of the fiberglass/epoxy composites reported higher flexural storage and flexural loss modulus values. The kenaf/epoxy composites reported higher loss factor values. The specific flexural storage and specific flexural loss modulus were calculated for both the fiberglass and kenaf fiber composites. Even though the kenaf composites reported a lower density, the fiberglass composites reported higher specific mechanical properties.

description: For a family F (a collection of subsets of Z_+), the notion of F-independence is defined both for topological dynamics (t.d.s.) and measurable dynamics (m.d.s.). It is shown that there is no non-trivial {syndetic}-independent m.d.s.; a m.d.s. is {positive-density}-independent if and only if it has completely positive entropy; and a m.d.s. is weakly mixing if and only if it is {IP}-independent. For a t.d.s. it is proved that there is no non-trivial minimal {syndetic}-independent system; a t.d.s. is weakly mixing if and only if it is {IP}-independent. Moreover, a non-trivial proximal topological K system is constructed, and a topological proof of the fact that minimal topological K implies strong mixing is presented.

Creators: name: Smith, Randall B.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1983

description: Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) reproduction and survival on the LaSal Mountains, Utah were studied from 1978-81. Reproductive rates were high, suggesting that summer and fall forage quality was adequate and was not responsible for low recruitment observed in recent years. The combined fetal rate, determined from laparotomies and carcasses, was 1.72 for all females older than 1 year (N = 114). Fetal rates were 1.15 for yearlings (N = 20), 1.80 for prime females (2-7 years, N = 78), and 1.75 for old females (8+ years, N = 16). No evidence of breeding was found among fawns (N = 18). Estimated intrauterine mortality was 3.9%. A compensatory response to inadequate winter nutrition was not identified as a factor in maintaining high reproductive potentials, although its role might have been obscured by the high predation rate on young fawns. During 1979 and 1980, an average of 67% of the total annual loss of radio-monitored fawns occurred within 54 days postpartum. Survival of transmittered fawns (N = 54) from capture to December averaged 42.7%. Direct causes of mortality during the summer included predation (73%}, primarily by coyotes (Canis latrans} and black bears (Ursus americanus}; starvation, accidents, and illegal kills (9%}; and unknown factors (18%}. Overwinter survival of fawns and does was inversely related to winter intensity. Fawn survival from January to June was 58.3% of the December population in 1980 and 88.9% in 1981. During this period, predation or probable predation, primarily by coyotes, accounted for 82% of the observed deaths and accidents for 18%. Substantial losses to malnutrition and domestic dogs occurred in Castle Valley during the severe winter of 1978-79. Total annual survival of transmittered fawns was similar both years, 28.9% for the 1979 cohort and 31.8% for the 1980 cohort. Application of a change-in-ratio estimator yielded estimates of fawn survival that were similar to survival rates from samples of radio-monitored fawns, except during summer 1979 when prenatal and immediate postpartum mortality may have been high following the severe 1978-79 winter. Annual survival rates of radio-monitored does were 68.9% in 1979 (N = 38) and 86.6% (N = 22) in 1980. Causes of death included malnutrition and predation by coyotes and domestic dogs. No mortality occurred among radio-monitored females (N = 32} between January and June 1981. Recruitment rates, estimated from spring fawn proportions were 15% in 1979, 18% in 1980, and 32% in 1981, suggesting herd declines in the first 2 years and herd growth in 1981.

description: A universal description of the hyperfine splittings (HFS) in bottomonium and the $B_q (q=n,s,c)$ mesons is obtained with a universal strong coupling constant $α_s(μ)=0.305(2)$ in a spin-spin potential. Other characteristics are calculated within the Field Correlator Method, taking the freezing value of the strong coupling independent of $n_f$. The HFS $M(B^*)- M(B)=45.3(3)$ MeV, $M(B_s^*) - M(B_s)=46.5(3)$ MeV are obtained in full agreement with experiment both for $n_f=3$ and $n_f=4$. In bottomonium, $M(Υ(9460))- M(η_b)=70.0(4)$ MeV for $n_f=5$ agrees with the BaBar data, while a smaller HFS, equal to 64(1) MeV, is obtained for $n_f=4$. We predict HFS $M(Υ(2S))-M(η_b(2S))=36(1)$ MeV, $M(Υ(3S))- M(η(3S))=27(1)$ MeV, and $M(B_c^*) - M(B_c)= 57.5(10)$ MeV, which gives $M(B_c^*)=6334(1)$ MeV, $M(B_c(2 {}^1S_0))=6865(5)$ MeV, and $M(B_c^*(2S {}^3S_1))=6901(5)$ MeV.

title: Economic Impacts of Public Grazing Reductions in the Livestock Industry with Emphasis on Utah
Creators: name: Bailey, DeeVon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1980

description: The purpose of this paper was to determine the immediate impact of reductions in public grazing on livestock production in the United States. This was accomplished by the use of linear programming techniques. Different grazing reduction simulations were utilized to determine the short and long run effects of across-the-board reductions in public grazing.
The United States was divided into 13 regions. The 11 western states were considered as individual regions. Special emphasis was placed on the effects of grazing reduction on Utah. The availability and utilization of feed and livestock products during a "normal year", 1978, were considered in this study. Adjustments in the feed and livestock economies were noted through the simulated reduction in available public grazing lands. Recommendations and possible implications of such actions were also included.

description: In dieser Diplomarbeit wird die Bedeutung der sozialen Kompetenz für das Konflikterleben von Kleinkindern thematisch aufgegriffen. Die theoretischen Ausführungen zu Beginn der Arbeit verschaffen einen ersten Überblick über die Bandbreite an Definitionen und Eigenschaften der sozialen Kompetenz und interpersonellen Konflikte. In deren Widerspiegelung wird der eigene wissenschaftliche Standpunkt zu den theoretischen Konstrukten dargelegt. Ergänzt werden die Ausführungen durch die Darstellung einzelner Einflussfaktoren, möglicher Auswirkungen mangelnder sozialer Kompetenz und verschiedener Auffassungen zur sozial kompetenten Konfliktbewältigung. Diesbezüglich wurde eine qualitative Untersuchung konzipiert, deren zentrale Forschungsfrage darauf abzielt herauszufinden, wie sich das Konfliktverhalten von zweijährigen Kindern in Abhängigkeit ihrer sozialen Kompetenz voneinander unterscheidet. Die Stichprobe umfasst fünf Kinder im Alter von zwei Jahren. Sie wurden im Umfeld der Kindertagesstätte beobachtet (teilnehmende Beobachtung) und durch die Erzieherinnen in ihrer sozialen Kompetenz (ITSEA- Fragebogen) sowie ihrem Konfliktverhalten (problemzentriertes Interview) eingeschätzt. Unter Einbeziehung der verschiedenen Informationsquellen wurden kindspezifische Fallanalysen erstellt und miteinander verglichen. Wesentliche Ergebnisse der Untersuchung waren, dass die Kinder grundsätzlich zwischen friedvollen und konflikthaften Interaktionen zum Teil übergangslos wechselten und bei der Bewältigung der beobachteten Konfliktsituationen die Unterstützung der Erzieherinnen kaum in Anspruch nahmen. Zudem zeigte sich, dass sozial kompetentere Kinder über ein größeres und differenzierteres Repertoire an Konfliktverhaltensweisen verfügten als Kinder mit einer geringeren sozialen Kompetenz. Die Auswertung der problemzentrierten Interviews und ITSEA erbrachte weiterhin, dass die Erzieherinnen die Kinder mit steigendem Alter sozial kompetenter einschätzten und das Konfliktverhalten der sozial aktiveren, dominanteren und präsenteren Kinder umfangreicher und genauer schildern konnten. Neben der Diskussion und kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Methoden und Ergebnissen der Untersuchung werden Empfehlungen für anschließende Forschungsstudien aufgezeigt.
title: A Comparison of the Functions and Population Size of Central Places in Snohomish County, Washington and Cache County, Utah
Creators: name: Dixon, Richard L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: A study of the central places in Cache County to determine their population and function was made during the academic year 1967-1968. The purpose was to determine if the function of places in Cache County, Utah of a given population was the same as the function of places in Snohomish County, Washington of the same population.
The data for Snohomish County, Washington were taken from a report on the central places in that county prepared by Brian J. L. Berry and William Garrison of the University of Washington Geography Department.
Evidence is presented to support the conclusion that these two areas are very similar in geographic setting and general economy. Evidence is also presented that the central places of similar population size do not perform the same functions. A central place in Cache County must have a larger population in order to support a given function than is necessary in Snohomish County. Further evidence is presented to support the conclusion that lack of a complementary region for the Cache County central places and presence of complementary regions for Snohomish County central places is the cause of the differences found in function of the places.

description: In the early years of this century a group of Cambridge graduates began meeting in the London district of Bloomsbury. For a period of time extending from the beginning of the second decade until well into the thirties, the Bloomsbury group, as they became known, was a powerful cultural establishment in England. A number of the major creative talents of the period were excluded by Bloomsbury, and, in turn, it was criticized.by them. D.H. Lawrence was associated with Bloomsbury and he criticized it discursively. He also wrote a novel about it. Bloomsbury, as a concern in Lawrence's thought, and as a subject of what has been recognized by many to be his major novel, Women in Love, is the concern of this thesis.

description: Current contestations of the liberal international order stand in notable contrast with the earlier rise of international law during the post-cold war period. As Krieger and Liese argue, this situation calls for assessment of the type of change that is currently observed, i.e. norm change (Wandel) or a more fundamental transformation of international law – a metamorphosis (Verwandlung)? To address this question, this paper details the bi-focal approach to norms in order to reflect and take account of the complex interrelation between fact-based and value-based conceptions of norms. The paper is organised in three sections. The first section presents three axioms underlying the conceptual framework to study norm(ative) change which are visualised by a triangular operation to analyse this change in relation with practices and norms. The second section recalls three key interests that have guided IR norms research after the return to norms in the late 1980s. They include, first, allocating change in and through practice, second, identifying behavioural change with reference to norm- following, and third, identifying norm(ative) change with reference to discursive practice. The third section presents the two analytical tools of the conceptual frame, namely, the norm-typology and the cycle-grid model. It also indicates how to apply these tools with reference to illustrative case scenarios. The conclusion recalls the key elements of the conceptual framework for research on norm(ative) change in international relations in light of the challenge of establishing sustainable normativity in the global order.
title: Causative Factors and Some Consequences of Dystocia in Two-Year-Old Heifers
Creators: name: Jensen, Delyn
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1979

description: Causative factors and some consequences of dystocia were examined in 3923 parturitions among Hereford and Angus x Hereford crossbred two-year-old heifers. Fifty percent of the parturitions required some assistance. Minor assistance was required in 34.5% of the parturitions and major assistance involving use of a calf puller, in 15.1%. Caesarean section and foetotomy were rendered in 0.3% and .05% of the cases, respectively. Abnormal presentation at birth, which included leg back, head back, backwards, hiplock and breech, was observed in only 2.9% of the births and therefore is a minor contributor to dystocia. The major causes of dystocia were not specifically identified in this study. Sex of calf had a definite influence upon the degree of calving difficulty with male calves requiring more assistance in both minor and major assistance categories. Crossbred heifers had a higher percentage of unassisted births (62.4% vs 36.7%) than Hereford heifers. Ninety and eight-tenths percent of all calves born were alive at 30 days postpartum. Of the 9.2% that died, 6.2% died at birth or within 24 hours after birth. Losses were particularly heavy in this early period among those to whom major assistance had been given, with 71.5% of all deaths in this group being in this early period. Death loss rate was higher in this group throughout the 30 day postpartum interval with a total death loss of 38.6% as compared to a loss of 3.8% and 3.4% for the minor assisted and the unassisted groups, respectively. Among the kinds of abnormal presentations, death loss was greatest among breech presentations with a 66.7% loss. Backward presentation ranked next followed, in order, by head back, hiplock and leg back. Loss from leg back, 21% was relatively low. Increases in degree of severity of dystocia was accompanied by increases in time required to complete the birth process. Labor duration and sex of calf were correlated with male calves requiring a longer parturition than female calves, 104 minutes vs 88 minutes, respectively.

description: In a recent scenario of advancement in the upcoming next-generation system reconstructed speech(voice) signal by the side of the receiver side found stiffened, barely audible, and slim because of limited bandwidth of 300-3.4 kHz. To get back the genuineness of speech(voice) signal, narrow band speech encoders must be upgraded to wide band encoders supporting 50-kHz bandwidth. The extensive period has been left for advancement from N.B. to fully W.B.'s well-suited systems. The terminal and network must be altered to make the N.B. system compatible with the W.B. system. During that span novel technique has been urbanized to widen the N.B. bandwidth of speech (voice) signal at handset end (receiver) for humanizing final speech quality. The technique of attaining the original W.B. signal from a band-limited N.B. speech(voice) signal without actually transmitting the W.B. signal is called bandwidth extension. The same concept applies to attain super wideband from the W.B. signal. B.W.E. based on sinusoidal transform coding, linear prediction, non-linear device is giving good results compared to spectral folding/spectral translation approaches employed by various researchers. In the modern scenario of advancement in technology, various coding algorithms have been urbanized for S.W.B. and F.B. to obtain the full benefit of advancement in available telecommunications bandwidth, predominantly for the internet. In the proposed method based on source filter model fundamental thought adopted for the B.W.E. are the separate extension of the spectral envelope and the residual signal. Each part is processed separately through different speech enrichment procedure to get the highband component and added to the resampled and delayed version of the signal to acquire the final extended output which is compared through intelligibly(subjective) and quality(objective) perspective and results are compared with baseline algorithm and next-generation super wide band coder algorithms to prove that obtained results are comparable with both algorithms. Algebraic evaluation for getting missing high band components from the original W.B. signal is not needed and method tremendously well-organized and commence only minor time interval or delay..

description: The influential theorems of Hawking and Penrose demonstrate that spacetime singularities are ubiquitous features of general relativity, Einstein's theory of gravity. The utility of classical general relativity in describing gravitational phenomena is maintained by the cosmic censorship principle. This conjecture, whose validity is still one of the most important open questions in general relativity, asserts that the undesirable spacetime singularities are always hidden inside of black holes. In this Letter we reanalyze extreme situations which have been considered as counterexamples to the cosmic censorship hypothesis. In particular, we consider the absorption of fermion particles by a spinning black hole. Ignoring quantum effects may lead one to conclude that an incident fermion wave may over spin the black hole, thereby exposing its inner singularity to distant observers. However, we show that when quantum effects are properly taken into account, the integrity of the black-hole event horizon is irrefutable. This observation suggests that the cosmic censorship principle is intrinsically a quantum phenomena.

The study objectives were to establish growth curves for seven lamb genotypes and examine within genotype growth differences among four grazing treatments (sheep alone, sheep and cattle mixed, both continuous and rotation).
Body weights were measured at birth, and at mean ages of 56, 120, and 154 (weaning) days of age. Linear, quadratic, and cubic regressions of weight on age were used to establish growth curves. Among genotype comparisons of entire growth curves were impossible as non-linear components were significant. (p

Minimum spanning Tree

description: The field of mathematics plays an important role in different domains.one of the important concept of mathematics is the Graph theory which is most commonly used in area of computer science to design computer algorithms. The well-known problem in mathematics which represents graph theory is the Travelling salesman problem. The travelling sales man problem is the problem in graph theory needs to find optimal path (i.e. minimum total distance) to traverse all the cities with the constraint to returning back to the initial state (city). There is no general solutions available to solve this problem but there is similarity between the travelling sales man problem and minimum spanning tree.so, this problem can be implemented with the help of minimum spanning tree which also focus on finding minimum distance for each nodes with the constraint of not to form any cycle. In this paper we have presented few computer science algorithms which are implemented using graph theory of mathematics and also tried to analyze their differences and applications.

description: We present a measurement of direct photon pair production cross sections using 4.2 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton Collider. We measure single differential cross sections as a function of the diphoton mass, the transverse momentum of the diphoton system, the azimuthal angle between the photons, and the polar scattering angle of the photons, as well as the double differential cross sections considering the last three kinematic variables in three diphoton mass bins. The results are compared with different perturbative QCD predictions and event generators.

Stability properties of periodically driven overdamped pendula and their implications to physics of semiconductor superlattices and Josephson junctions

description: We consider the first order differential equation with a sinusoidal nonlinearity and periodic time dependence, that is, the periodically driven overdamped pendulum. The problem is studied in the case that the explicit time-dependence has symmetries common to pure ac-driven systems. The only bifurcation that exists in the system is a degenerate pitchfork bifurcation, which describes an exchange of stability between two symmetric nonlinear modes. Using a type of Prufer transform to a pair of linear differential equations, we derive an approximate condition of the bifurcation. This approximation is in very good agreement with our numerical data. In particular, it works well in the limit of large drive amplitudes and low external frequencies. We demonstrate the usefulness of the theory applying it to the models of pure ac-driven semiconductor superlattices and Josephson junctions. We show how the knowledge of bifurcations in the overdamped pendulum model can be utilized to describe effects of rectification and amplification of electric fields in these microstructures.

title: Influence of Lipophilicity on the Accumulation and Distribution of Halogenated Phenols and a Pyridinol as Metabolites of Pesticides in the Rat
Creators: name: Attumi, Assed A.

description: Exposure to halogenated phenols and pyridinols is of increasing concern because of their wide use and distribution. This research was initiated to determine the distribution, accumulation, and depletion of a group of halogenated phenols and a pyridinol in selected tissues of male weanling rats at different time intervals following a single oral dose of 0.33 or 1.66 m moles per kg body weight. The halogenated phenols and pyridinol were distributed differently in every tissue sampled following their administration, even though the amount administered was the same in each case. The concentrations in tissue were found in the order: 2,4,5-trichloro-phenol > 4-bromo-2,5-dichlorophenol > 4-iodo-2,5-dichlorophenol > 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridonol in kidney and fat, whereas the series 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol > 4-iodo-2,5-dichlorophenol > 4-bromo-2,5-dichlorophenol > 3,5,6-trichlorophenol occurred in liver. No structurally significant series was observed for their concentrations in blood.
All halogenated phenols and pyridinol concentrations in tissues declined rapidly with time but not always in an apparently log linear fashion. Rates were greatest for clearance from blood. The highest concentration of halogenated phenols was in kidney among the tissues studied, whereas the highest concentration of halogenated pyridinol was in liver.
Relationships were found between the relative lipophilicity, as indicated by the chromatographic Rm value, and the concentrations of these compounds in tissues. The RH (i.e., relative lipophilicity) was generally very well correlated with the log concentration of compounds in tissues observed 24 h after dosing. The correlation coefficients ranged between .517 and .995 among tissues. Correlations were positive between the Rm values and 24 h concentrations in adipose tissue, and kidney, but negative for the relationship between the Rm and 24 h concentrations in blood and liver.

description: In this paper we consider Dynkin's games with payoffs which are functions of an underlying process. Assuming extended weak convergence of underlying processes $\{S^{(n)}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ to a limit process $S$ we prove convergence Dynkin's games values corresponding to $\{S^{(n)}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ to the Dynkin's game value corresponding to $S$. We use these results to approximate game options prices with path dependent payoffs in continuous time models by a sequence of game options prices in discrete time models which can be calculated by dynamical programming algorithms. In comparison to previous papers we work under more general convergence of underlying processes, as well as weaker conditions on the payoffs.

Minimal spanning trees with degree restraints
Creators: name: McFarlane, Archibald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a solution to the problem of determining the minimal spanning tree with degree restraints for a given non-directional graph. Section 1 gives an introduction to the problem. A set of definitions describing the graphical terminology used in the body of the thesis, is presented along with a description of the problem. At the end of this section a few applications of the problem are given. Section 2 outlines the method of solution used. The algorithm incorporates a branch and bound technique and this problem solving method is discussed in general in the first part of the section. Some other applications of branching and bounding are also discussed. Next, the complete algorithm is described along with a proof of optimality. A sample problem is worked through to illustrate the method of solution. Two different minimal spanning tree algorithms, one by R.C. Prim, the other by J.B. Kruskal, are used in the main core of the solution algorithm. These two approaches are discussed with the aid of a sample problem, at the end of Section 2. Computer programs were written to test the algorithms. Several sets of data were compiled for various sizes of graphs and values of degree restrictions. The results of these runs were tabulated and are discussed in Section 3. Next, a comparison is made of the method discussed here and a solution involving linear programming. Section 3 also presents some useful heuristic approaches at sub-optimization which effectively reduce the amount of computation. Section 4 summarizes the results of Section 3 and indicates the best approach to use for a specific problem.

description: The mysteries of sunspot penumbrae have been under an intense scrutiny for the past 10 years. During this time, some models have been proposed and refuted, while the surviving ones had to be modified, adapted and evolved to explain the ever-increasing array of observational constraints. In this contribution I will review two of the present models, emphasizing their contributions to this field, but also pinpointing some of their inadequacies to explain a number of recent observations at very high spatial resolution. To help explaining these new observations I propose some modifications to each of them. These modifications bring those two seemingly opposite models closer together into a general picture that agrees well with recent 3D magneto-hydrodynamic simulations.

description: Great infrastructure projects are flagrant for costing more than in the beginning intended. Road project cost overrun (under estimation) and cost revision is common major problems reported by MoSPI (Ministry of Statistics and Programme) 20% cost overrun in India. It is difficult to maintain infrastructure progress within cost, time and quality because of their unpredictability, enormous scope, long length, high speculation and longitudinal site condition. Framework Estimate engineers need to create cost estimation before time on in development to determine its practicability safe and sound financial support, meet up superiority standards and worth for money. this research focus on cost of road infrastructure projects in early stage before construction. Various literatures government report, private companies report Cost estimate guides is studied and it’s study gives the idea of current cost estimation methods and causes of cost overrun in projects. Be that as it may the prior on in project’s life cycle, the less is known around the particular points of interest of what really has to be built and a site’s interesting characteristics and how they will influence, Research gives effort on the identifying proper attributes or factors that are readily available at an early stage for fast, easy and accurate detailed cost estimate from the past related research work. Different organizations have plenty of historical project information and lots of don’t have the tool the other way around, very fewer resources to estimate compare to traditional methods. Machine learning (ML) cost estimation model advance uses algorithms to discover relationship between diverse variables of project and their cost and developed model.
