title: Graduate Recital
Creators: name: Sass, Juergen
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: The purpose of this writing is to:
1. to clarify and give added meaning to the recital which is being presented partially in place of a master's thesis
2. to give expression to those studies which the author feels are most helpful in strengthening him In his teaching.
The paper will consequently consist of four sections; one will deal with the vocal mechanism which should be thoroughly understood by every vocal teacher, whether he may work with young teen-agers or college students. The next two sections will cover the development of vocal pedagogy and the evolution of the art song. The last section will be concerned with a discussion of the numbers performed at the recital. Since the previous chapter on the art song already covers most of the composers, the discussion of the recital numbers will pertain mostly to an analysis of the difficulties encountered by the performer and his response to the various songs.
Computation by one-way multihead marker automata
Creators: name: Gorlick, Michael Martin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A new family of automata, one-way multihead marker automata, is introduced. Intuitively these devices consist of one or more read heads travelling in a single direction on a bounded tape and a finite fixed pool of markers which may be deposited on the tape, sensed, and later removed. The major results obtained are: (i) A one-way n-head k-marker automaton with distinguished markers (each marker is recognizably distinct) may be simulated by a one-way n-head (k+1)-marker automaton with uniform markers (one marker cannot be told from another); (ii) Minor restrictions in pebble use and head movement do not significantly affect the recognition power of these devices, consequently it is possible to obtain normal forms for devices with either distinguished or uniform markers; (iii) If p(x) is a polynomial with positive integer coefficients of degree k>0 then the language {0P(n) |n Ɵ {0,1,2,...}} is recognized by a deterministic s.one-way k-head (k-1)-marker automaton; (iv) There exists a class of one-letter languages, characterized by finite linear difference equations, which are recognized by a deterministic one-way n-head 2-marker automaton. Members of this class include the fibonacci numbers and all languages {0(kn) |n Ɵ {0,1,2,...}}, k a fixed natural number. This class is of particular interest since it contains languages not generable by any polynomial, proving that a complete characterization of the one-letter languages recognized by one-way multihead marker automata can not rest upon the polynomial languages alone.

description: Speeches are given and articles are written about the changing dimensions of the world of work. As knowledge increases and improvements are made in the field of business, jobs vary accordingly. Since change is inevitable and desirable, business education courses need to prepare students for tomorrow.
Rose states that:
Business education subject matter is neither static nor parochial . Electronics have accelerated the world's business and is creating a near revolution in our vocational business education classroom.
This near revolution mentioned by Rowe has caused me to ask, "Are my students going out into the business world knowing what is expected of them? Are my class projects meaningful? Am I doing all I can to bridge the gap between school and that first job?" The answer to these questions can be found by evaluating and appraising vocational programs in terms of the needs of the students and the business community.
In order to meet the changing needs of business education, teachers must plan. Rowe said, 'The development and periodic revision of courses of study or syllabi is the first step toward improvement of instruction.

description: Selecting an appropriate clustering method as well as an optimal number of clusters in road accident data is at times confusing and difficult. This paper analyzes shortcomings of different existing techniques applied to cluster accident-prone areas and recommends using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) and Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure (OPTICS) to overcome them. Comparative performance analysis based on real-life data on the recorded cases of road accidents in North Carolina also show more effectiveness and efficiency achieved by these algorithms.

description: Conventional RGB-D salient object detection methods aim to leverage depth as complementary information to find the salient regions in both modalities. However, the salient object detection results heavily rely on the quality of captured depth data which sometimes are unavailable. In this work, we make the first attempt to solve the RGB-D salient object detection problem with a novel depth-awareness framework. This framework only relies on RGB data in the testing phase, utilizing captured depth data as supervision for representation learning. To construct our framework as well as achieving accurate salient detection results, we propose a Ubiquitous Target Awareness (UTA) network to solve three important challenges in RGB-D SOD task: 1) a depth awareness module to excavate depth information and to mine ambiguous regions via adaptive depth-error weights, 2) a spatial-aware cross-modal interaction and a channel-aware cross-level interaction, exploiting the low-level boundary cues and amplifying high-level salient channels, and 3) a gated multi-scale predictor module to perceive the object saliency in different contextual scales. Besides its high performance, our proposed UTA network is depth-free for inference and runs in real-time with 43 FPS. Experimental evidence demonstrates that our proposed network not only surpasses the state-of-the-art methods on five public RGB-D SOD benchmarks by a large margin, but also verifies its extensibility on five public RGB SOD benchmarks.

The direction of outflows from filaments : constraints on core formation
Creators: name: Anathpindika, S. V.
name: Whitworth, A. P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Context: It is generally presumed that the outflows from a YSO are directed close to its rotation axis (i.e. along its angular momentum vector and orthogonal to any attendant accretion disc). Many YSOs are formed from dense prestellar cores embedded in filaments, and therefore the relative orientations of outflows and filaments may place useful constraints on the dynamics of core formation. Aims: We explore this possibility, from the viewpoint of what it may tell us about the angular momentum delivered to a core forming in a filament. We stress that we are not here addressing the issue of the relationship of filaments and outflows to the prevailing magnetic field direction, although this is evidently also an interesting issue. Results: Using the limited data available, and neglecting any possible selection effects or correlations between nearby outflows, we infer that the observed outflows have a tendency to be orthogonal to the filaments that contain their driving sources. Specfically, in the cases where the directions of the filaments and outflows are well defined, we infer statistically that 72% of outflows are within $45^{\rm o}$ of being orthogonal to the filament, and only 28% are within $45^{\rm o}$ of being parallel to the filament. Conclusions: This suggests that the prestellar cores which spawned the YSOs driving the observed outflows had angular momenta which were approximately orthogonal to the filaments out of which the cores formed. We briefly discuss the implications of this for two proposed core formation mechanisms.

description: In this paper, the decay constants and mean square radii of pseudoscalar heavy mesons are studied in the SU(3) symmetry breaking. Within the light-front framework, the ratios $f_{D_s}/f_D$ and $f_{B_s}/f_B$ are individually estimated using the hyperfine splittings in the $D_{(s)}^*-D_{(s)}$ and $B_{(s)}^*-B_{(s)}$ states and the light quark masses, $m_{s,q}$ ($q=u,d$), to extract the wave function parameter $β$. The values $f_{D_s}/f_D= 1.29\pm0.07$ and $f_{B_s}/f_B= 1.32\pm 0.08$ are obtained, which are not only chiefly determined by the ratio of light quark masses $m_s/m_q$, but also insensitive to the heavy quark masses $m_{c,b}$ and the decay constants $f_{D,B}$. The dependence of $f_{B_c}/f_B$ on $ΔM_{B_cB^*_c}$ with the varied charm quark masses is also shown. In addition, the mean square radii are estimated as well. The values $\sqrt{} =0.740^{-0.041}_{+0.050}$ and $\sqrt{} =0.711^{-0.049}_{+0.058}$ are obtained, and the sensitivities of $$ on the heavy and light quark masses are similar to those of the decay constants.

description: This work is the third part of a series of papers. In the first two we consider curves and varieties in a power of an elliptic curve. Here we deal with subvarieties of an abelian variety in general. Let V be an irreducible variety of dimension d embedded in an abelian variety A, both defined over the algebraic numbers. We say that V is weak-transverse if V is not contained in any proper algebraic subgroup of A, and transverse if it is not contained in any translate of such a subgroup. Assume a conjectural lower bound for the normalized height of V. For V transverse, we prove that the algebraic points of bounded height of V which lie in the union of all algebraic subgroups of A of codimension at least d+1 translated by the points close to a subgroup G of finite rank are non Zariski-dense in V. If G has rank zero, it is sufficient to assume that V is weak-transverse. The notion of closeness is defined using a height function.

title: A Guide For the College Supervisor of Business Education in Training Student Teachers at the College of Southern Utah
Creators: name: Olsen, Larry A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: The first and most serious concern for the college supervisor is the lack of a definite description of his job. Perhaps the cause of this dilemma is the divergent practices of the different teacher education programs offered by teacher training institutions.
Student teaching is considered to be the pinnacle of the education spiral for student teachers who are training to become professional teachers. The college supervisor of student teachers is one of the most influential individuals in guiding the student through the teacher training program. An efficient college supervisor is one who is aware of his responsibilities and who practices effective guidance and super- vision in developing the professional growth of the student teacher.

description: Jets from active galactic nuclei are thought to play a role in the evolution of their host and local environments, but a detailed prescription is limited by the understanding of the jets themselves. Proper motion studies of compact bright components in radio jets can be used to produce model-independent constraints on their Lorentz factor, necessary to understand the quantity of energy deposited in the inter-galactic medium. We present our initial work on the jet of radio-galaxy 3C~78, as part of CAgNVAS (Catalogue of proper motions in Active galactic Nuclei using Very Large Array Studies), with a goal of constraining nature of jet plasma on larger ($>100$ parsec) scales. In 3C~78 we find three prominent knots (A, B and C), where knot B undergoes subluminal longitudinal motion ($\sim0.6c$ at $\sim$ 200 pc), while knot C undergoes extreme (apparent) backward motion and eventual forward motion ($\sim-2.6c$, $0.5c$, at $\sim$ 300 pc). Assuming knots are shocks, we infer the bulk speeds from the pattern motion of Knots B and C. We model the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the large-scale jet and observe that a physically motivated two-zone model can explain most of the observed emission. We also find that the jet profile remains approximately conical from parsec to kiloparsec scales. Using the parsec-scale speed from VLBI studies ($\sim0.1c$) and the derived bulk speeds, we find that the jet undergoes bulk acceleration between the parsec and the kiloparsec scales providing the first direct evidence of jet acceleration in a conical and matter-dominated jet.

title: Liahona High School, Its Prologue and Development to 1965
Creators: name: Young, Delworth Keith
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Information concerning the Tongan Islands, the Friendly Islands as they are often called, is scant. As an educator teaching in Tonga, the author was very disappointed that so little information was in published form about this island kingdom. Virtually no written information was available concerning the new school assignment.
The author began a quest for information which resulted in this research. The writer held interviews with various missionaries, teachers, and church builders who had been in Tonga and at the newly designed Liahona High School. Some of their observations seemed to be in conflict. All agreed that a written history would be worthwhile and helpful not only for those who had played a part in the development of the school but also to those who were currently building its destiny and to those who would yet decide to come to Tonga.
The history of Liahona High School was written in large measure while the author was working at the school among the Polynesians who had helped to mold that history. The collection of data in a non-literate society comes frequently from informal, primary sources. At the school many of the teachers and staff were slightly aware of the historical development of the school. Occasionally, older Tongan staff members made reference to things of the past, but these were soon to be forgotten or twisted into folklore. No one seemed to recall the specific even ts. Importance of historical detail seemed to have been passed from their recollection.
Access to information that had been recorded was, therefore, limited. From Bishop's Museum in Honolulu came some scientific publications concerning findings in Tonga; the London Historical Society had published a "History of Tonga" by A. H. Wood. These publications, while interesting, were of little help. A study of publications concerning Polynesian culture in general had been made under the direction of Dr. S. George Ellsworth and proved to be a help in understanding the problems of the culture. Sir Harry Luke had written the broadest treatise of the Tongan people. The information in this chapter was primarily based on this study by Luke.1 The Pacific Island Yearbook, and the booklet Tonga, published by the Tongan Government Press, gave helpful background information concerning present-day Tonga.
Effects on the two-point correlation function from the coupling of quintessence to dark matter

description: We investigate the effects of the nonminimal coupling between the scalar field dark energy (quintessence) and the dark matter on the two- point correlation function. It is well known that this coupling shifts the turnover scale as well as suppresses the amplitude of the matter power spectrum. However, these effects are too small to be observed when we limit the coupling strength to be consistent with observations. Since the coupling of quintessence to baryons is strongly constrained, species dependent coupling may arise. This results in a baryon bias that is dif- ferent from unity. Thus, we look over the correlation function in this coupled model. We find that even the non-coupled quintessence model gives the better fit to the correlation function compared to the cosmo- logical constant model. We are also able to observe the enhancement of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak due to the increasing bias factor of baryon from this species dependent coupling. In order to avoid the damping effect of the BAO signature in the matter power spectrum due to nonlinear clustering, we consider the coupling effect on the BAO bump in the linear regime. This provides an alternative method to constrain the coupling of dark energy to dark matter.

title: A Pilot Study To Determine the Characteristics and Acceptance of a Mobile Office Education Classroom to Serve Small High Schools in Utah
Creators: name: Anderson, Arlyn N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1968

description: For many years the office practice curriculums in the small high schools in Utah have been incomplete. Small high schools generally do not offer the same opportunities for learning as larger high schools due to the lack of funds, a smaller student body, and a shortage of trained personnel. Their distance from larger metropolitan areas where office opportunities are more readily available has made it economically unsound to offer such training programs and facilities. Often, students do not receive adequate training to prepare them for entry level jobs upon graduation from high school.
Students graduating from small high schools must compete for office positions with graduates from larger high schools who have usually been exposed to more training and better opportunities. In order to prepare graduates of small high schools for opportunities in office positions, additional training must be provided. This might be accomplished by bringing a mobile classroom equipped with modern business machines and data processing equipment into the small high schools.

description: We give two new expressions of subresultants, nested subresultant and reduced nested subresultant, for the recursive polynomial remainder sequence (PRS) which has been introduced by the author. The reduced nested subresultant reduces the size of the subresultant matrix drastically compared with the recursive subresultant proposed by the authors before, hence it is much more useful for investigation of the recursive PRS. Finally, we discuss usage of the reduced nested subresultant in approximate algebraic computation, which motivates the present work.

description: With the increase in population and corresponding growth in school enrollment in the state of Utah, the need for more adequate educational facilities becomes ever more apparent. New schools will have to be built and older ones enlarged in order to accommodate the increasing enrollment and need. As a natural consequence , additional teachers will be needed to fill the positions made available by the expansion of the present educational facilities. This requirement will be supplemented by the need for maintaining the present level of teaching staff in view of the outflow of teachers from the system, some through retirement, and others to work in industry , continue their education, or leave the state to teach or work elsewhere.

description: We propose a new scenario for the early universe where there is a smooth transition between an early de Sitter-like phase and a radiation dominated era. In this model, the matter content is modelled by a new type of generalised Chaplygin gas for the early universe, with an underlying scalar field description. We study the gravitational waves generated by the quantum fluctuations. In particular, we calculate the gravitational wave power spectrum, as it would be measured today, following the method of the Bogoliubov coefficients. We show that the high frequencies region of the spectrum depends strongly on one of the parameters of the model. On the other hand, we use the number of e-folds, along with the power spectra and spectral index of the scalar perturbations, to constrain the model observationally.

These artificial media change the fields in a prescribed fashion in the volume occupied by the medium. We show what electromagnetic properties of transforming medium are required. The coefficients of these linear functions can be arbitrary scalar functions of position and frequency, which makes the approach quite general and opens a possibility to realize various unusual devices.

description: Lie's linearizability criteria for scalar second-order ordinary differential equations had been extended to systems of second-order ordinary differential equations by using geometric methods. These methods not only yield the linearizing transformations but also the solutions of the nonlinear equations. Here complex methods for a scalar ordinary differential equation are used for linearizing systems of two second-order ordinary and partial differential equations, which can use the power of the geometric method for writing the solutions. Illustrative examples of mechanical systems including the Lane-Emden type equations which have roots in the study of stellar structures are presented and discussed.

A procedural model of recognition for machine perception
Creators: name: Havens, William S.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is concerned with aspects of a theory of machine perception. It is shown that a comprehensive theory is emerging from research in computer vision, natural language understanding, cognitive psychology, and Artificial Intelligence programming language technology. A number of aspects of machine perception are characterized. Perception is a recognition process which composes new descriptions of sensory experience in terms of stored stereotypical knowledge of the world. Perception requires both a schema-based formalism for the representation of knowledge and a model of the processes necessary for performing search and deduction on that representation. As an approach towards the development of a theory of machine perception, a computational model of recognition is presented. The similarity of the model to formal mechanisms in parsing theory is discussed. The recognition model integrates top-down, hypothesis-driven search with bottom-up, data-driven search in hierarchical schemata representations. Heuristic procedural methods are associated with particular schemata as models to guide their recognition. Multiple methods may be applied concurrently in both top-down and bottom-up search modes. The implementation of the recognition model as an Artificial Intelligence programming language called MAYA is described. MAYA is a multiprocessing dialect of LISP that provides data structures for representing schemata networks and control structures for integrating top-down and bottom-up processing. A characteristic example from scene analysis, written in MAYA, is presented to illustrate the operation of the model and the utility of the programming language. A programming reference manual for MAYA is included. Finally, applications for both the recognition model and MAYA are discussed and some premising directions for future research proposed.

description: The Polyakov-quark-meson (PQM) model, which combines chiral as well as deconfinement aspects of strongly interacting matter is introduced for three light quark flavors. An analysis of the chiral and deconfinement phase transition of the model and its thermodynamics at finite temperatures is given. Three different forms of the effective Polyakov loop potential are considered. The findings of the (2+1)-flavor model investigations are confronted to corresponding recent QCD lattice simulations of the RBC-Bielefeld, HotQCD and Wuppertal-Budapest collaborations. The influence of the heavier quark masses, which are used in the lattice calculations, is taken into account. In the transition region the bulk thermodynamics of the PQM model agrees well with the lattice data.

description: The asymptotic tail behaviour of sums of independent subexponential random variables is well understood, one of the main characteristics being the principle of the single big jump. We study the case of dependent subexponential random variables, for both deterministic and random sums, using a fresh approach, by considering conditional independence structures on the random variables. We seek sufficient conditions for the results of the theory with independent random variables still to hold. For a subexponential distribution, we introduce the concept of a boundary class of functions, which we hope will be a useful tool in studying many aspects of subexponential random variables. The examples we give in the paper demonstrate a variety of effects owing to the dependence, and are also interesting in their own right.

description: In this paper, we describe a novel pulsed magnet, called Foil Coil, which can deliver a field transverse to the light propagation of more than 10 T over about 0.8 meters operating without cryogenic equipment. It has been designed for linear magnetic birefringence measurements. We report on testing the coil, and also show some physics data taken in vacuum during its commissioning in the framework of the BMV apparatus, with special attention to noise induced by the pulse itself. Finally, we compare the preliminary results obtained here, with data from the previous BMV coil.

description: Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are crucial technologies in the field of medical imaging. Score-based models have proven to be effective in addressing different inverse problems encountered in CT and MRI, such as sparse-view CT and fast MRI reconstruction. However, these models face challenges in achieving accurate three dimensional (3D) volumetric reconstruction. The existing score-based models primarily focus on reconstructing two dimensional (2D) data distribution, leading to inconsistencies between adjacent slices in the reconstructed 3D volumetric images. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel two-and-a-half order score-based model (TOSM). During the training phase, our TOSM learns data distributions in 2D space, which reduces the complexity of training compared to directly working on 3D volumes. However, in the reconstruction phase, the TOSM updates the data distribution in 3D space, utilizing complementary scores along three directions (sagittal, coronal, and transaxial) to achieve a more precise reconstruction. The development of TOSM is built on robust theoretical principles, ensuring its reliability and efficacy. Through extensive experimentation on large-scale sparse-view CT and fast MRI datasets, our method demonstrates remarkable advancements and attains state-of-the-art results in solving 3D ill-posed inverse problems. Notably, the proposed TOSM effectively addresses the inter-slice inconsistency issue, resulting in high-quality 3D volumetric reconstruction.

Spinor representation of surfaces and complex stresses on membranes and interfaces

description: Variational principles are developed within the framework of a spinor representation of the surface geometry to examine the equilibrium properties of a membrane or interface. This is a far-reaching generalization of the Weierstrass-Enneper representation for minimal surfaces, introduced by mathematicians in the nineties, permitting the relaxation of the vanishing mean curvature constraint. In this representation the surface geometry is described by a spinor field, satisfying a two-dimensional Dirac equation, coupled through a potential associated with the mean curvature. As an application, the mesoscopic model for a fluid membrane as a surface described by the Canham-Helfrich energy quadratic in the mean curvature is examined. An explicit construction is provided of the conserved complex-valued stress tensor characterizing this surface.

description: The vulnerability of the Lottery Ticket Hypothesis has not been studied from the purview of Membership Inference Attacks. Through this work, we are the first to empirically show that the lottery ticket networks are equally vulnerable to membership inference attacks. A Membership Inference Attack (MIA) is the process of determining whether a data sample belongs to a training set of a trained model or not. Membership Inference Attacks could leak critical information about the training data that can be used for targeted attacks. Recent deep learning models often have very large memory footprints and a high computational cost associated with training and drawing inferences. Lottery Ticket Hypothesis is used to prune the networks to find smaller sub-networks that at least match the performance of the original model in terms of test accuracy in a similar number of iterations. We used CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet datasets to perform image classification tasks and observe that the attack accuracies are similar. We also see that the attack accuracy varies directly according to the number of classes in the dataset and the sparsity of the network. We demonstrate that these attacks are transferable across models with high accuracy.

description: This paper contains a complete description of minimal non-gatherable triangle triples in the lambda-sequences for the classical root systems, $F_4$ and $E_6$. Such sequences are associated with reduced decompositions (words) in affine and non-affine Weyl groups. The existence of the non-gatherable triples is a combinatorial obstacle for using the technique of intertwiners for an explicit description of the irreducible representations of the (double) affine Hecke algebras, complementary to their algebraic-geometric theory.

Vacuum Alignment in SUSY A4 Models

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this note we discuss the vacuum alignment in supersymmetric models with spontaneously broken flavour symmetries in the presence of soft supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking terms. We show that the inclusion of soft SUSY breaking terms can give rise to non-vanishing vacuum expectation values (VEVs) for the auxiliary components of the flavon fields. These non-zero VEVs can have an important impact on the phenomenology of this class of models, since they can induce an additional flavour violating contribution to the sfermion soft mass matrix of right-left (RL) type. We carry out an explicit computation in a class of SUSY A4 models predicting tri-bimaximal mixing in the lepton sector. The flavour symmetry breaking sector is described in terms of flavon and driving supermultiplets. We find non-vanishing VEVs for the auxiliary components of the flavon fields and for the scalar components of the driving fields which are of order m_{SUSY} x and m_{SUSY}, respectively. Thereby, m_{SUSY} is the generic soft SUSY breaking scale which is expected to be around 1 TeV and is the VEV of scalar components of the flavon fields. Another effect of these VEVs can be the generation of a mu term.

The neon content of nearby B-type stars and its implications for the solar model problem

description: The recent downward revision of the solar photospheric abundances now leads to severe inconsistencies between the theoretical predictions for the internal structure of the Sun and the results of helioseismology. There have been claims that the solar neon abundance may be underestimated and that an increase in this poorly-known quantity could alleviate (or even completely solve) this problem. Early-type stars in the solar neighbourhood are well-suited to testing this hypothesis because they are the only stellar objects whose absolute neon abundance can be derived from the direct analysis of photospheric lines. Here we present a fully homogeneous NLTE abundance study of the optical Ne I and Ne II lines in a sample of 18 nearby, early B-type stars, which suggests log epsilon(Ne)=7.97+/-0.07 dex (on the scale in which log epsilon[H]=12) for the present-day neon abundance of the local ISM. Chemical evolution models of the Galaxy only predict a very small enrichment of the nearby interstellar gas in neon over the past 4.6 Gyr, implying that our estimate should be representative of the Sun at birth. Although higher by about 35% than the new recommended solar abundance, such a value appears insufficient by itself to restore the past agreement between the solar models and the helioseismological constraints.
