description: Here, we investigate the possible optical anisotropy of vacuum due to gravitational field. In doing this, we provide sufficient evidence from direct coordinate integration of the null-geodesic equations obtained from the Lagrangian method, as well as ray-tracing equations obtained from the Plebanski's equivalent medium theory. All calculations are done for the Schwarzschild geometry, which results in an anisotropic (pseudo-isotropic) optical equivalent medium when Cartesian coordinates are taken. We confirm that the results of ray-tracing in the equivalent medium and null geodesics are exactly the same, while they are in disagreement with the results of integration in the conventional isotropic equivalent medium of Schwarzschild geometry. Based on the principle invariance of physical due to coordinate transformation, there exist just one result. This Contradiction will be solved by tensor algebra and it will be shown that the conventional isotropic approach is wrong, and even by making isotropic of the metric, the optical behavior of vacuum will remain anisotropic. Hence, we conclude that the true optical behavior of curved spacetime must be anisotropic, and it is an intrinsic property of vacuum in the presence of gravitational field. We provide further discussions on how to detect this possible anisotropy, and what further consequences might be expected in the interpretation of gravtiational lensing data.

title: A synthesis of the Literature on Reading Interventions to Improve Oral Reading Rates
Creators: name: Douglass, Kelley
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2008

description: The traditional model of identification and eligibility assessment in Special Education often is to refer-test-place, which is based on a "wait to fail" procedure. Research has shown positive outcomes for the use of a Response to Intervention (RTI) model of assessment as an alternative method of learning disability identification. However, challenges exist in the selection of high-quality, research-based, effective interventions. A review of the literature was conducted to identify reading intervention options based on Curriculum-Based Measurement outcomes that may be selected for RTI use within the model and the potential barriers of their use. Twenty-one studies were identified examining 31 different and/or combined interventions with 223 individuals receiving reading interventions. Results suggest that schools have many successful, empirically-based reading intervention options for use within an RTI model. These will be discussed, as well as challenges and the need for further studies to explore individual effects, at-risk definitions, sufficient growth, administration requirements, and outcome data.

description: We study thermalization in many-body quantum systems locally coupled to an external bath. It is shown that quantum chaotic systems do thermalize, that is, they exhibit relaxation to an invariant ergodic state which, in the bulk, is well approximated by the grand canonical state. Moreover, the resulting ergodic state in the bulk does not depend on the details of the baths. On the other hand, for integrable systems the invariant state does depend on the bath and is different from the grand canonical state.

description: In the last years, XAI research has mainly been concerned with developing new technical approaches to explain deep learning models. Just recent research has started to acknowledge the need to tailor explanations to different contexts and requirements of stakeholders. Explanations must not only suit developers of models, but also domain experts as well as end users. Thus, in order to satisfy different stakeholders, explanation methods need to be combined. While multi-modal explanations have been used to make model predictions more transparent, less research has focused on treating explanation as a process, where users can ask for information according to the level of understanding gained at a certain point in time. Consequently, an opportunity to explore explanations on different levels of abstraction should be provided besides multi-modal explanations. We present a process-based approach that combines multi-level and multi-modal explanations. The user can ask for textual explanations or visualizations through conversational interaction in a drill-down manner. We use Inductive Logic Programming, an interpretable machine learning approach, to learn a comprehensible model. Further, we present an algorithm that creates an explanatory tree for each example for which a classifier decision is to be explained. The explanatory tree can be navigated by the user to get answers of different levels of detail. We provide a proof-of-concept implementation for concepts induced from a semantic net about living beings.

title: A Comparative Analysis of Seven Published Self-Report Measures for Assessing Internalizing-Type Symptoms in Children and Adolescents
Creators: name: Anderson, Kathryn E.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1997

description: The broad domain of internalizing disorders encompasses a variety of symptoms that are specific to child and adolescent populations and generalizable to adult populations. Internalizing disorders, commonly referred to as " emotional problems," include such problems as depression, anxiety, social withdrawal, somatic complaints, and low self-esteem. The other side of this classification dichotomy is that of externalizing disorders (e.g., conduct disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), which involve overt behaviors considered as "undercontrolled". In contrast, internalizing problems involve behaviors that possess an "overcontrolled" quality. Such a covert nature leads to difficulty in identification and diagnosis, as they often go unnoticed by the child' s teachers, parents, and peers, thus resulting in prolonged distress of the individual. In addition, the broad construct of internalizing disorders often involves an element of comorbidity among the various internalizing disorders. This element of co-existence is further evidenced in the recent interest of clinicians regarding the question as to whether anxiety and depression represent two distinct states or rather a broad-band construct termed " negative affectivity" (Hodges, 1990). Negative affect is a "broad and pervasive predisposition to experience negative emotions that have further influences on cognition, self-concept, and world view" (Carey, Clark, & Watson, 1988, p . 347).

description: In Chapter 1 I will present a brief introduction on the state of art of nanotechnologies, nanofabrication techniques and unconventional lithography as a technique to fabricate the novel electronic device as resistive switch so-called memristor is shown. In Chapter 2 a detailed description of the main fabrication and characterization techniques employed in this work is reported. Chapter 3 parallel local oxidation lithography (pLOx) describes as a main technique to obtain accurate patterning process. All the effective parameters has been studied and the optimized condition observed to highly reproducible with excellent patterned nanostructures.  The effect of negative bias, calls local reduction (LR) studied. Moreover, the use of AC bias shows faster patterning process respect to DC bias. In Chapter 4 (metal/ e-SiO2/ Si nanojunction) it is shown how the electrochemical oxide nanostructures by using pLOx can be used in the fabrication of novel devices call memristor. We demonstrate a new concept, based on conventional materials, where the lifetime problem is resolved by introducing a “regeneration” step, which restores the nano-memristor to its pristine condition by applying an appropriate voltage cycle.  In Chapter 5 (Graphene/ e-SiO2/ Si), Graphene as a building block material is used as an electrode to selectively oxidize the silicon substrate by pLOx set up for the fabrication of novel resistive switch device. 
In Chapter 6 (surface architecture) I will show another application of pLOx in biotechnology is shown. So the surface functionalization combine with nano-patterning by pLOx used to design a new surface to accurately bind biomolecules with the possibility of studying those properties and more application in nano-bio device fabrication. So, in order to obtain biochips, electronic and optical/photonics devices Nano patterning of DNA used as scaffolds to fabricate small functional nano-components.

description: Cell membranes are studded with protrusions that were thoroughly analyzed with electron microscopy. However, the nanometer-scale three-dimensional motions generated by cell membranes to fit the topography of foreign surfaces and initiate adhesion remain poorly understood. Here, we describe the dynamics of surface deformations displayed by monocytic cells bumping against fibronectin-coated surfaces. We observed membrane undulations with typically 5 nm amplitude and 5-10 second lifetime. Cell membranes behaved as independent units of micrometer size. Cells detected the presence of foreign surfaces at 50 nm separation, resulting in time-dependent amplification of membrane undulations. Molecular contact then ensued with apparent cell-membrane separation of 30-40 nm, and this distance steadily decreased during the following tens of seconds. Contact maturation was associated with in-plane egress of bulky molecules and robust membrane fluctuations. Thus, membrane undulations may be the major determinant of cell sensitivity to substrate topography, outcome of interaction and initial kinetics of contact extension
title: Parent Training Programs, Values, and Related Issues Concerning the Culturally Diverse
Creators: name: Jones, Raina Ilen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2005

description: Few parent training programs that address the improvement of coercive or negative parent-child interactions in culturally diverse populations exist in the literature; of the few that do exist, there is sparse empirical information on program effectiveness. Because parent training is an effective way to address parent-child interaction, parent training programs are discussed in the context of the values of African Americans, Asian Americans, Caucasian Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans. A review of the literature on values and culturally-specific and culturally adapted parenting programs was conducted as was a review of programs that have been modified for culturally diverse groups. Some of the programs reviewed are Effective Black Parenting Program, a program delivered through the Houston Parent-Child Development Center, Los Ninos Bien Educados, a program delivered in the Mercedes Independent School District, Positive Indian Parenting, and the Strengthening Families Program. Literature-based recommendations are offered for professionals seeking to improve intervention services to families of diverse cultural backgrounds.

The purpose of this paper was to examine published studies that were conducted in schools and were designed to treat symptoms of depression in children and adolescents. Active treatments utilized in this review were shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of depression. Most active treatment conditions involved intervention components that are commonly used in conjunction with typical cognitive-behavioral therapies . Further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of specific programs and program components. Implications of the present research is presented for use by school-based mental health practitioners.
Whose body? Whose mind? : the implications of Paulo Freire’s Problem Posing method for a humanistic approach to an Active Health program
Creators: name: MacKay, Robert Henry
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Paulo Freire's Problem-Posing method was adapted and developed to provide a humanistic alternative to the prescriptive, physiological approach presently manifested in most Active Health programs. A need for a holistic approach to Active Health was established and the Problem-Posing method was presented as a viable method for the development of personal, physiological, social and mind-body experiences within an Active Health program. The Problem-Posing method was viewed within the Humanistic Educational framework. An interpretation of Humanistic Education, its roots and characteristics was presented. An understanding of Freire's view of man and philosophy of education was given as a prelude to the nature and mechanics of the Problem-Posing method. A student oriented life style program was developed around Freire's codification concept. This program, using Freire's dialogical, Problem-Posing approach, was intended to move students from a naive consciousness to a critical consciousness as they investigated the factors that determine their life style and thus influence their health status. The program was introduced to a grade 11 Physical Education class in order to realize Freire's concept of praxis and to establish subjective opinion regarding the viability of employing the Problem-Posing method in a Secondary School Physical Education class. In light of the positive opinions of students and teacher, it appears, from a subjective stance, that students began to move from a naive to a critical consciousness in regards to life style development and that the Problem-Posing method appears to be a viable, humanistic approach to an Active Health program.
title: Hanging From the Poplar Tree: Kanye West and Racism in Internet Folklore

description: Folk ideas regarding African-Americans in nineteenth century America fueled racially charged stereotypes that served to promote segregation into the 1960s. Despite the belief of many Americans that the Civil Rights movement has ushered in an era of “postracism,” artifacts of digital culture prove that racism is still prevalent in American culture. Members of online social groups spread rumors and memes of popular African-American figures to propagate old racist stereotypes and spread conspiracy rumors among younger audiences.
Folklorists Bill Ellis, Gary Fine, Véronique Campion-Vincente, and Patricia Turner provided foundational scholarship on rumors, conspiracy theories, and how they divide ethnic groups in wider American culture. This paper applies their works to an analysis of several memes and YouTube videos regarding Kanye West, an African-American rapper. It also considers how stereotypes of African-Americans as discussed in Marlon Riggs’ documentary Ethnic Notions still hold influence over current American attitudes towards African-Americans in the broader culture.

title: The Woman of Sorrows: Clara's Self-Destructive Behavior Based On Supernatural Belief in Wieland, or the Transformation: An American Tale by Charles Brockden Brown
Creators: name: Carlson, Paden
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Much has been devoted to the study of causality and ambiguity within Charles Brockden Brown’s Wieland, or the Transformation. While there is textual and cultural evidence providing explanations for Clara’s behavior, little has been said about the ramifications of Clara’s actions. This essay seeks to add to the discussion of Wieland by exploring Clara’s transformation from theistic rationalist to someone who is inclined to believe in supernatural explanation concerning seemingly inexplicable events.
In more than one instance, Clara’s supernaturally-charged beliefs endanger her. Brown uses Clara’s increasing reliance on supernatural explanation to suggest that, should the early United States similarly abandon rational thinking, it will likewise expose itself to harm and self-destruction. To Brown, Clara’s narrative represents the United States’ potential trajectory should it fail to return to rational thought.
The early United States struggled to find clarity amid the conflicting roles that religious belief and rationality played. The Second Great Awakening created a surge in national religiosity; this was a surge that Brown was wary of. By using Clara as a metaphor, Brown argues that, not only should the early United States return to rational thought, women were central to reinstating a national equilibrium between rationality and religiosity.

Food for Thought: The Role of Texture in the Disgust Response
Creators: name: Kushner, Laura H.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Disgust is a universally recognized basic emotion. Core disgust is defined by Rozin, Haidt, and McCauley (2008) as the revulsion at the thought of incorporation of an offensive object. They suggested that there are three features necessary to elicit a core disgust response: there must be a threat of ingesting the stimulus, the disgusting product must be related to animals, and finally, the disgusting product must have the power to contaminate an otherwise neutral product or food. The current study examined whether texturally aversive non-meat foods engender core disgust. In the stimulus selection portion of the study, 100 subjects listed foods they found disgusting and rated disgust for 27 specific foods. Eight non-animal stimuli were then chosen for the experiment. In the main experiment, 50 subjects were presented with the eight non-animal stimuli and asked how disgusting they found the foods, what about the foods were disgusting, and how willing they would be to eat the foods. Subjects were then asked to actually taste the stimuli. If a subject was unwilling to eat a particular stimulus, there was a test for contamination. The subject placed a small amount of the food on a small portion of the cracker and then removed the stimulus from the cracker. Subjects were asked to eat various portions of the cracker to determine whether contamination occurred.Finally, subjects filled out the Disgust-Sensitivity-Scale-Revised, a picky eating inventory, and the Obsessive-Compulsive inventory. Kauer (2002) suggested these measures might correlate with eating behaviors.Non-animal foods can elicit core disgust. Nearly 80% of subjects indicated that at least one of the foods was "very disgusting", 30% would not eat a part of the cracker that the disgusting stimulus had touched, and 10% would not eat a part of the cracker that the disgusting stimulus had not touched. Behavioral results were correlated with scores on the picky eating inventory. Subjects who scored high on the picky eating inventory exhibited more disgust-sensitive behaviors. Although what subjects stated they would eat and what they actually ate were correlated, that correlation was far from perfect. Future research on disgust should include behavioral assessments.

description: Metabolic networks perform some of the most fundamental functions in living cells, including energy transduction and building block biosynthesis. While these are the best characterized networks in living systems, understanding their evolutionary history and complex wiring constitutes one of the most fascinating open questions in biology, intimately related to the enigma of life's origin itself. Is the evolution of metabolism subject to general principles, beyond the unpredictable accumulation of multiple historical accidents? Here we search for such principles by applying to an artificial chemical universe some of the methodologies developed for the study of genome scale models of cellular metabolism. In particular, we use metabolic flux constraint-based models to exhaustively search for artificial chemistry pathways that can optimally perform an array of elementary metabolic functions. Despite the simplicity of the model employed, we find that the ensuing pathways display a surprisingly rich set of properties, including the existence of autocatalytic cycles and hierarchical modules, the appearance of universally preferable metabolites and reactions, and a logarithmic trend of pathway length as a function of input/output molecule size. Some of these properties can be derived analytically, borrowing methods previously used in cryptography. In addition, by mapping biochemical networks onto a simplified carbon atom reaction backbone, we find that several of the properties predicted by the artificial chemistry model hold for real metabolic networks. These findings suggest that optimality principles and arithmetic simplicity might lie beneath some aspects of biochemical complexity.
The effect of theoretical and situational knowledge of reading on teachers’ estimates of readability

description: This study sought to determine: 1. To what extent teachers who possess theoretical and situational knowledge of elementary reading instruction are accurate in estimating the readability levels of materials. 2. To what extent teachers who possess theoretical and situational knowledge of elementary reading instruction are more accurate in estimating the readability levels of materials than a) in-service teachers who possess only situational knowledge of reading from teaching experience? b) pre-service teachers who possess only theoretical knowledge of elementary reading instruction? c) pre-service teachers who possess neither theoretical knowledge of elementary reading instruction nor situational knowledge of reading from teaching experience? Data were collected from 72 subjects who were enrolled in undergraduate classes in the Faculty of Education at The University of British Columbia and who were categorized, in groups of 18, with respect to pre-service or in-service preparation in elementary reading instruction as well as classroom teaching experience at this level. The results indicated that teachers who possessed theoretical and situational knowledge of reading were not more accurate than other teachers in estimating the readability levels of the selected passages, and that the accuracy with which teachers in all groups, estimated the readability levels of passages decreased as the readability levels of the passages increased.
title: Phonon Dispersion and Relaxation Time in Uranium Dioxide
Creators: name: Parkinson, Dallin
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Phonon dispersion branches are used to obtain an effective relaxation time to calculate thermal conductivity of Uranium Dioxide (UO2). The method presented closely follows that of Deskins’ phonon-phonon interaction that uses a three-phonon process which satisfies momentum and energy conservation. All phonon branches including longitudinal acoustic, transverse acoustic, longitudinal optical and transverse optical are considered in the calculation of the relaxation time.
After one phonon is identified, a scan is initiated to test all phonon combinations that will satisfy the conservation equations. When the scan identifies a valid three-phonon combination a relaxation time is calculated for that combination. All the relaxation times from the possible combinations are summed using Mathias’ rule to obtain a total approximate relaxation time for that phonon.
Thermal conductivity at equilibrium can be calculated at a specific temperature using the relaxation time approximation of the Boltzmann equation. This approximation uses specific heat, relaxation time, group velocity and the Bose-Einstein distribution.
Eventually, the goal of this work is to apply the routine for calculating relaxation time from this work to a Monte Carlo simulation that will treat systems not in equilibrium.

title: The Effects of Training on Parent Knowledge and Expectations of Student Postschool Outcomes
Creators: name: Hunsaker, Robert
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Most students with disabilities have poor postschool outcomes related to employment or postsecondary education. Very few of these students gain meaningful jobs or go to college. A key predictor of successful postschool outcomes for students with disabilities is high parental expectations. This project examined the effects of parent training on transition agency services on increasing parents’ knowledge and expectations for postschool outcomes for their young adult with disabilities. Participants included English-speaking parents/guardians of young adults with disabilities from Alpine school district in Utah. Participants’ knowledge was measured by correct answers on identical pretests and posttests. Participants’ expectations were measured on a 4-point rating scale in identical pretests and posttests. Participants were given a pretest before a training session on agency services related to employment and postsecondary education. Participants were then given a posttest. Parents were given an assignment to contact one of the agencies discussed in training. An optional second 45 min training was scheduled 1 week after the initial training discussing expectations and how they have changed. The parent training increased both the participants’ knowledge of employment and postsecondary services provided by agencies and their postschool expectations for their young adult with disabilities. The implications of these results can improve how education professionals deliver transition services.
title: Characteristics of College Students Seeking Mental Health Services and Reasons Given for Choosing the Mental Health Service Provider
Creators: name: Athorp, Ann Leslie
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: The literature related to college mental health counseling suggested numerous possible factors which were hypothesized to play a significant role in choosing a mental health care agency. A questionnaire was constructed to measure demographics of students utilizing the Utah State University Counseling Center, spontaneous reasons for choosing the center as the preferred mental health agency, and literature-based reasons for the same. Subjects reported that they chose the university counseling center for practical reasons such as cost and location. However, factor analysis of the literature - based reasons endorsed by these subjects suggested that trust in the counseling center and its professionals was important. These results are discussed in terms of utility for service providers and limitations of this work.
Food for Thought: The Role of Texture in the Disgust Response

description: Disgust is a universally recognized basic emotion. Core disgust is defined by Rozin, Haidt, and McCauley (2008) as the revulsion at the thought of incorporation of an offensive object. They suggested that there are three features necessary to elicit a core disgust response: there must be a threat of ingesting the stimulus, the disgusting product must be related to animals, and finally, the disgusting product must have the power to contaminate an otherwise neutral product or food. The current study examined whether texturally aversive non-meat foods engender core disgust. In the stimulus selection portion of the study, 100 subjects listed foods they found disgusting and rated disgust for 27 specific foods. Eight non-animal stimuli were then chosen for the experiment. In the main experiment, 50 subjects were presented with the eight non-animal stimuli and asked how disgusting they found the foods, what about the foods were disgusting, and how willing they would be to eat the foods. Subjects were then asked to actually taste the stimuli. If a subject was unwilling to eat a particular stimulus, there was a test for contamination. The subject placed a small amount of the food on a small portion of the cracker and then removed the stimulus from the cracker. Subjects were asked to eat various portions of the cracker to determine whether contamination occurred.Finally, subjects filled out the Disgust-Sensitivity-Scale-Revised, a picky eating inventory, and the Obsessive-Compulsive inventory. Kauer (2002) suggested these measures might correlate with eating behaviors.Non-animal foods can elicit core disgust. Nearly 80% of subjects indicated that at least one of the foods was "very disgusting", 30% would not eat a part of the cracker that the disgusting stimulus had touched, and 10% would not eat a part of the cracker that the disgusting stimulus had not touched. Behavioral results were correlated with scores on the picky eating inventory. Subjects who scored high on the picky eating inventory exhibited more disgust-sensitive behaviors. Although what subjects stated they would eat and what they actually ate were correlated, that correlation was far from perfect. Future research on disgust should include behavioral assessments.

description: The nature of the gapped ground state in the quasi-one-dimensional compound eta-Na9V14O35 cannot easily be understood, if one takes into account the odd number of spins on each structural element. Combining the results of specific heat, susceptibility and electron spin resonance measurements we show that eta-Na9V14O35 exhibits a novel ground state where multi-spin objects build up a linear chain. These objects - pentamers - consist of five antiferromagnetically arranged spins with effective spin 1/2. Their spatial extent results in an exchange constant along the chain direction comparable to the one in the high-temperature state.

Design Strategy Network: A deep hierarchical framework to represent generative design strategies in complex action spaces

description: Generative design problems often encompass complex action spaces that may be divergent over time, contain state-dependent constraints, or involve hybrid (discrete and continuous) domains. To address those challenges, this work introduces Design Strategy Network (DSN), a data-driven deep hierarchical framework that can learn strategies over these arbitrary complex action spaces. The hierarchical architecture decomposes every action decision into first predicting a preferred spatial region in the design space and then outputting a probability distribution over a set of possible actions from that region. This framework comprises a convolutional encoder to work with image-based design state representations, a multi-layer perceptron to predict a spatial region, and a weight-sharing network to generate a probability distribution over unordered set-based inputs of feasible actions. Applied to a truss design study, the framework learns to predict the actions of human designers in the study, capturing their truss generation strategies in the process. Results show that DSNs significantly outperform non-hierarchical methods of policy representation, demonstrating their superiority in complex action space problems.

description: Remiz pendulinus complex species belonging to penduline tits or family Remizidae (Aves: passeriformes). There is incongruity about the taxonomy of the bird and extent of distribution of populations in Iran is unclear. Distribution range of R. pendulinus complex species populations in the two-year (winter 2012 to winter 2014) surveyed and distribution map of breeding and wintering sites in 19 provinces using GIS was developed. Two subspecies of R. p. menzbieri and R. p. neglectus are resident in West [and the North-West] and North (Mazandaran) regions, respectively. Subspecies R. p. coronatus is scattered as wintering in North-West of Iran. Subspecies R. p. nigricans in Sistan basin didn’t observe. Azerbaijan-e-Gharbi, Azerbaijan-e-Sharghi, Ardebil, Zanjan, Qazvin, Kurdistan, Kermanshah, Markazi, Gilan, Mazandaran and Golestan provinces were determined as breeding sites and Khorasan-e-Shomali, Khorasan-e-Razavi, Khorasan-e-Jonubi, Isfahan, Charmahal-va-Bakhtiari, Lorestan, Khuzestan, and Sistan-va-Baluchestan provinces as wintering sites. Breeding sites of the bird are in West [and the North-West] and North regions and wintering sites are in south, east and middle parts of Iran. The two subspecies overlap in a tiny contact zone in the central and western parts of the Mazandaran province, around the Babol and Juibar cities and hybridize together in this area. Also, due to the lack of observation on subspecies R. p. nigricans around the Helmand River and Hamun Lake in Sistan basin it seems locally extinction or migration of the subspecies to water resources in Afghanistan which require further investigation.
