Impact of Participation in a Small Music Group on the Academic Achievement of Primarily Hispanic Youth
Creators: name: Keaton, Danielle Juliana
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of the present study was to explore the effects of participation in a children' s violin instructional music program, The Young Violinists from St. Thomas Aquinas (YVSTA), on the primarily Hispanic participants' academic achievement. Data collection involved obtaining YVSTA attendance records and participants' academic records: their standardized test scores, attendance records, and academic transcripts. The participants were 5 boys and 14 girls ranging in age from 6 to 14, enrolled in Kindergarten to eighth grade. Children attended the YVSTA between 9 and 57 times, representing 36.36% to 86.36% attendance. All children but one were identified as being Hispanic; one child was identified as White American. Data were analyzed by coding, description, and interpretation. Analyses revealed no significant effects between children's attendance to the music program and their academic transcripts, attendance records, and standardized test scores, although there was evident improvement in participants' GPA over time. Combined with participants' relatively high attendance to the music program, we suggest that involvement in the YVSTA is akin to a preventive intervention designed to enhance at-risk youth's academic performance. The findings of this study highlight the potential positive effects of this type of music program on children's academic achievement, and support the continuation of this program and the development of similar music education programs.
The Effectiveness of Storytelling in Mathematics Teaching
Creators: name: Pfost, Michelle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: This project was designed as a way for me to create lesson plans that incorporate the research proven highly effective method of using storytelling to teach math. My plan is to incorporate these lesson plans into my future classroom. All of the lesson plans are based on the math common core standards and as such are designed to help students understand and be able to apply these concepts in real-life situations. The main objective of using storytelling to teach these lessons is to help make math "come alive" for these students and help to show them that math can be fun and is something that helps make our lives easier each and every day. In my thesis, I present research on the different methods used to teach math in a storytelling format and the positive benefits that this has for students.
As I want to teach in French immersion classrooms, all of my lesson plans and supplementary materials are in French. The reason for this is two-fold. Creating these lessons in French helped to increase my French math vocabulary and also will allow me to have even more resources that I can use when teaching in French immersion classrooms. In doing observations and working a little bit in French immersion classrooms I have seen how the materials and resources available aren't as extensive as they could be and thus I want to help change that. My ultimate goal is that these lessons can at least generate ideas for actual lesson plans that are applied in the classroom and help to make mathematics learning and teaching, particularly in a foreign language, fun and enjoyable.

The First Struggles of the Capitalistic Peace and Its Detractors: An Analysis of Greek Trade and Its Effects on Foreign Policy in the Athenian State
Creators: name: Blume, Joshua
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Although, a ubiquitous number of articles has arisen recently debating the validity of the so-called "Capitalist Peace," there has been little exploration of the theory from an ancient historical perspective, primarily due to the lack of trade data between countries or city-states. As the primordial birthplace of trade and democracy, there is perhaps no better example than ancient Greece to shed insight into the possible validity of the capitalist peace theory. Utilizing new research involving trade in ancient Greece, this paper seeks to explore the relative validity of the "Capitalist Peace" in ancient Greece by conducting a qualitative analysis of selected trade relationships during the important years of Athenian dominance in the Aegean, namely, 445 BCE to 400 BCE. Trade in key agricultural imports, such as wheat, livestock and other goods, is viewed as a primary indicator of Athenian economic interdependence with other Greek city states given their assumed necessity to Athenian survival. In addition to these goods, the exportation of relatively less essential agricultural as well as cultural goods and commodities is used to support and illustrate relatively deeper trade ties between Athens and other city states. This research finds that violations to both the democratic and capitalist peace theories indicate the need for further research and consideration of other factors that might better explain the existence or absence of conflict between states.
Majorana oscillations and parity crossings in semiconductor-nanowire-based transmon qubits

description: We show that the microwave (MW) spectra in semiconductor-nanowire-based transmon qubits provide a strong signature of the presence of Majorana bound states in the junction. This occurs as an external magnetic field tunes the wire into the topological regime and the energy splitting of the emergent Majorana modes oscillates around zero energy owing to their wave function spatial overlap in finite-length wires. In particular, we discuss how these Majorana oscillations, and the concomitant fermion parity switches in the ground state of the junction, result in distinct spectroscopic features --in the form of an intermitent visibility of absorption lines-- that strongly deviate from standard transmon behavior. In contrast, non-oscillating zero modes, such as topologically trivial Andreev bound states resulting from sufficiently smooth potentials, exhibit an overall standard transmon response. These differences in the MW response could help determine whether the junction contains topological Majoranas or not.

description: We investigate the lower bound of the amount of entanglement for faithfully teleporting a quantum state belonging to a subset of the whole Hilbert space. Moreover, when the quantum state belongs to a set composed of two states, a probabilistic teleportation scheme is presented using a non-maximally entangled state as the quantum channel. We also calculate the average transmission efficiency of this scheme.

A Book of Conversations: Trauma, Representation, and Reconstruction in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Creators: name: Telfer, Rachel
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: For over 150 years, critics and readers have struggled to understand the meaning of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Through Alice, Carroll asserts that a focus on conversations in Wonderland will illuminate the use, or value, of his novel. The conversations between Alice and other characters reveal that Alice experiences a breakdown of her reality that mirrors the symptoms of trauma. Thus, looking through Alice's deconstructive process through the lens of trauma can provide insight into the value of Carroll's novel. Yet the novel does not describe a known source of trauma. Instead of emphasizing the traumatic event itself, Carroll focuses on the deconstructive and reconstructive process a victim experiences as they face the effects of trauma. Within the safe distance of the novel, readers can fall down the rabbit hole and enter Wonderland, a place where they can play with the boundaries of reality, explore how language represents a deconstructed reality and influences the reconstruction of reality, and prepare to face the small and large traumas of life.

Burlesque of the Herbivore: Ovid's Comic Pythagoras in Met. 15
Creators: name: Tarbet, Alex M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Pythagoras' speech at the climax of Metamorphoses (15.60-478) has frustrated all attempts to pin it down. To many it seems playfully vacuous, a harmless intellectual exhibition. Mack, for instance, calls it "vehement and impassioned...but signifying little." Solodow argues that it does not have "any special significance in itself nor lends any to the poem as a whole." Little sees only "superficial correspondence with [Ovid's] subject matter." Particularly troublesome is its culminating injunction to "empty the mouth of meats and choose harmless foods " (ora vacent epulis alimentaque mitia carpant! 478), which seems not only out of place in the context of Latin poetry but was in fact a trope often used to spoof Pythagoras. Of all the moral qualities for which this sage was known, this is an odd one to emphasize, especially at the finale of an epic cosmogony.
Treasure in Heaven: Economics and Christian Monasticism in Late Antiquity
Creators: name: Harman, Benjamin Wade
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: In the 3rd century CE a new variety of Christian practice emerged to popularity that took a marked turn from traditional practice. It was an ascetic movement that led many people to deny themselves bodily pleasures, and even some to self-inflict pain. There were some who chose to live a solitary life in the desert or in caves, and others lived in monasteries or isolated on top of stone pillars. This movement encouraged individuals to sell all of their belongings and rely on others' charity, or even God's grace, to survive. While asceticism had previously existed in other cultures and religions, it did not exist on any large scale in Christianity for the first 200 years. But once it arrived on the scene, it developed rapidly and became uncontrollably popular. It was formalized as monastic practice and the practitioners were called monks.
Superconducting islands with semiconductor-nanowire-based topological Josephson junctions

description: We theoretically study superconducting islands based on semiconductor-nanowire Josephson junctions and take into account the presence of subgap quasiparticle excitations in the spectrum of the junction. Our method extends the standard model Hamiltonian for a superconducting charge qubit and replaces the Josephson potential by the Bogoliubov--de Gennes Hamiltonian of the nanowire junction, projected onto the relevant low-energy subgap subspace. This allows to fully incorporate the coherent dynamics of subgap levels in the junction. The combined effect of spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman energy in the nanowires forming the junction triggers a topological transition, where the subgap levels evolve from finite-energy Andreev bound states into near-zero energy Majorana bound states. The interplay between the microscopic energy scales governing the nanowire junction (the Josephson energy, the Majorana coupling and the Majorana energy splitting), with the charging energy of the superconducting island, gives rise to a great variety of physical regimes. Based on this interplay of different energy scales, we fully characterize the microwave response of the junction, from the Cooper pair box to the transmon regimes, and show how the presence of Majoranas can be detected through distinct spectroscopic features. In split-junction geometries, the plasma mode couples to the phase-dispersing subgap levels resulting from Majorana hybridization via a Jaynes--Cummings-like interaction. As a consequence of this interaction, higher order plasma excitations in the junction inherit Majorana properties, including the $4π$ effect.

China and the Northeast Region: Agricultural Machinery
Creators: name: White, Kelsey
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Using Chinese government statistical data, relevant laws and policy regulations, and current market projections, this report aims to help new-to-market U.S. exporters understand the development of the agricultural machinery market in China and the Northeast region, identifying both challenges and opportunities.
With a vast land area and diverse topography, China is one of the world's top agricultural producers. Agriculture accounts for about 11% of China's GDP and more than 40% of China's employment. Over the past several years, China has been increasing its agricultural mechanization in an effort to move from traditional to modern farming. The central government has been supportive of this growth through favorable policies that provide a variety of subsidies and financial aid programs, allowing small Chinese farmers to mechanize. Agricultural machinery cooperatives have also improved access to equipment for typical farmers.
In addition to mechanization, commercialization and increased use of biotechnology have already improved agricultural efficiency and yields. Many of China's core agricultural outputs also enjoy high local and global market prices. Both private and public investment in agriculture is high, and it is expected that investment will increase as producers seek to control their own supply chains. This alignment of both market demand and government support provides a window of opportunity for companies involved in the agricultural machinery industry.
China's Northeast region is one of the country's primary agricultural bases, particularly for key commodities such as soybeans, corn, wheat, rice, and other grains. One of the central government's key goals for the development of the northeast, as outlined in the 12th Five Year Plan, is to support the northeast region as a strategic base of national grain production and use the region as a food security base. Therefore, Northeast China stands out as a major market for agricultural machinery.

description: 95 Mo n.m.r. spectroscopic data for a variety of inorganic and organometallic compounds have been obtained, extending the known chemical shift range to -2953 ppm ([Mo(n-C5H5)2H3]+) (chapter 6) to 4185 ppm ([MO2(02CCF3)4] in pyridine) (chapter 8). Results from photoelectron spectroscopy, electronic spectroscopy, and 13C n.m.r. have been used to interpret 95Mo chemical shift differences (chapters 4-9). Initial investigations have suggested a correlation between temperature independent paramagnetism and molybdenum deshielding (chapter 12). The following trends in molybdenum shielding have been noted: Greater pi-delocalisation of a polyhapto-benzene, an increase in the size of a polyhapto ring or an increase in the chain length of an acyclic polyene deshields the molybdenum (chapters 4 ,5 ,7); Protonation of a molybdenum species leads to increased metal shielding if the protonation involves stabilisation of an electron pair previously localised on the metal, to form a metalhydrogen a-bond (chapters 6 ,7); Trends in molybdenum shielding with varying group V ligands observed for substituted molybdenum carbonyl compounds have been seen in other types of organometallic molybdenum compounds (chapter 7); For molybdenum-molybdenum bonded dimers with similar ligands preliminary studies indicate that molybdenum shielding decreases Mo—1— Mo > Mo—2— Mo > Mo—3— Mo > Mo—4— Mo (chapter 8 ). Molybdenum-molybdenum sulphur bridged dimers and clusters have a large chemical shift dispersion and their study by 95Mo n.m.r. suggests that the technique may be useful in catalytic and enzymatic investigations (chapter 9). Piano-stool compounds often give narrow molybdenum n.m.r. signals presumably related to a low electric field gradient about the metal. When the resonances are sharp molybdenumphosphorus coupling may be resolved, the variations in magnitude of which may be traced to changes in the Fermi contact term (chapters 4 ,5). Direct observation of 183W resonances of organometallic compounds presents several problems but the use of the DEPT pulse sequence greatly enhances the sensitivity enabling signals to be obtained for tungsten hydrides (chapter 11).

description: WTO law does not offer definitions of “developed” and “developing” countries and the status of its members is determined on the basis of self-selection. As a result, there are countries with diverse levels of economic development that are considered “developing” in the WTO. Unsurprisingly, this causes discontent among developed country members, most notably the USA, who are now unwilling to extend Special and Differential Treatment (S&DT) provisions to all self-declared developing countries (DCs) and therefore, call for bifurcation among developing WTO members. In contrast, developing countries, most notably the upper layer of DCs like China and India, support current status quo. For any change to happen within the WTO, it is of utmost importance that the member states come to a consensus through negotiations. With this in mind, in this paper I explore the grounds for possible trade-offs that could serve as bargaining chips in the negotiations for a rearrangement of the existing country classification and the power structure that comes with it.

Fruit and Vegetable Consumption at Bear River Charter School; A Demand Curve Analysis
Creators: name: Tobey, McKelle
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: Many variables contribute to the rising prevalence of children being overweight and obese, one being poor nutrition and the lack of a balanced diet. Proper nutrition helps children to grow and develop normally, as well as lowers the risk of developing chronic problems such as cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease, and certain cancers later in life. Conducted alongside an applied behavioral intervention to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, a behavioral economic evaluation of demand curves was administered to students in the fifth through eighth grades. Findings suggest that the intervention had no significant effect on the elasticity of the different commodities studied. However, there was a significant difference found between commodities, with the results showing that children value fruits the most.

description: Phonon modes and their dispersion relations in ultrathin homogenous dielectric membranes are calculated using elasticity theory. The approach differs from the previous ones by a rigorous account of the effect of the film surfaces on the modes with different polarizations. We compute the heat capacity of membranes and the heat conductivity of narrow bridges cut out of such membranes, in a temperature range where the dimensions have a strong influence on the results. In the high temperature regime we recover the three-dimensional bulk results. However, in the low temperature limit the heat capacity, $C_V$, is proportional with $T$ (temperature), while the heat conductivity, $κ$, of narrow bridges is proportional to $T^{3/2}$, leading to a thermal cut-off frequency $f_c=κ/C_V\propto T^{1/2}$.

description: Conference key agreement (CKA), or multipartite key distribution, is a cryptographic task where more than two parties wish to establish a common secret key. A composition of bipartite quantum key distribution protocols can accomplish this task. However, the existence of multipartite quantum correlations allows for new and potentially more efficient protocols, to be applied in future quantum networks. Here, we review the existing quantum CKA protocols based on multipartite entanglement, both in the device-dependent and the device-independent scenario.

description: In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. The effect is conventionally controlled by the measurement frequency. Here we study the development of the Zeno regime as a function of the measurement strength for a continuous partial measurement. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $\textit{cascade of transitions}$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased. Some of these transitions are only apparent in the collective behavior of individual quantum trajectories and are invisible to the average dynamics. They include the appearance of a region of dynamically inaccessible states and of singularities in the steady-state probability distribution of states. These newly predicted dynamical features, which can be readily observed in current experiments, show the coexistence of fundamentally unpredictable quantum jumps with those continuously monitored and reverted in recent experiments.

description: Cosmological models of Bianchi type V and I containing a perfect fluid with a linear equation of state plus cosmological constant are investigated using a tetrad approach where our variables are the Riemann tensor, the Ricci rotation coefficients and a subset of the tetrad vector components. This set, in the following called S, describes a spacetime when its elements are constrained by certain integrability conditions and due to a theorem by Cartan this set gives a complete local description of the spacetime. The system obtained by imposing the integrability conditions and Einstein's equations can be reduced to an integrable system of five coupled first order ordinary differential equations. The general solution is tilted and describes a fluid with expansion, shear and vorticity. With the help of standard bases for Bianchi V and I the full line element is found in terms of the elements in S. We then construct the solutions to the linearized equations around the open Friedmann model. The full system is also studied numerically and the perturbative solutions agree well with the numerical ones in the appropriate domains. We also give some examples of numerical solutions in the non-perturbative regime.

description: We present new 6, 3.6, and 2 cm VLA radio observations of the nearby merger system NGC 3256, with resolutions of ~100 pc, which reveal compact radio sources embedded in more diffuse emission at all three wavelengths. The two radio nuclei are partially resolved, but the two dominant compact sources that remain coincide with the two most powerful compact Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) recently reported by Lira et al. The radio/X-ray ratios for these two sources are too high by factors of >100-1000 to be normal X-ray binaries. However, their radio and X-ray powers and ratios are consistent with low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs), and optical emission lines suggest the presence of a nuclear disk around the northern nucleus. If the two nuclear ULXs are LLAGNs, their associated black holes are separated by only \~1kpc, about 6 times closer to one another than those found recently in the merger galaxy NGC 6240. A third ULX on the outskirts of the merger is also a radio source, and probably is a collection of supernova remnants. The remaining ULXs are not coincident with any source of compact radio emission, and are consistent with expectations for beamed X-ray binaries or intermediate-mass black holes.

description: Using a sample of galaxies at $z\approx 3$ with detected Lyman Continuum (LyC) leakage in the SSA22 field, we attempt to verify a proposed indirect method for identifying cases with high LyC escape fraction $f_\mathrm{esc}$ based on measurements of the H$β$ equivalent width (EW) and the $β$ slope of the UV continuum. To this end, we present Keck/MOSFIRE H$β$ emission line flux measurements of LyC galaxies (LCGs) at spectroscopic redshifts $z_{\mathrm{spec}} \sim 3.3$, Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at photometric redshifts $z_{\mathrm{phot}} = 2.7$--$3.7$, and Ly$α$ emitters at $z_{\mathrm{phot}} = 3.1$. We also reconfirm the spectroscopic redshifts and measure the H$β$ emission line fluxes from 2 LCGs and 6 LBGs. For the LCG in our sample with the most extreme $f_\mathrm{esc}$, as revealed by the direct detection of LyC photons, we find that the EW(H$β$)--$β$ method gives a broadly consistent estimate for $f_\mathrm{esc}$, although the error bars remain very large. We also discuss how a combination of $f_\mathrm{esc}$ measurements based on direct and indirect methods can shed light on the LyC escape mechanism and the anisotropy of the leakage.

description: The installation of the New Student Union Building (SUB) creates a vast opportunity for restaurants to take advantage of the food delivery system towards the students of UBC. Ryan Bissell, Executive Chef, and Collyn Chan, New SUB Sustainability Coordinator, have requested the students of APSC 262 to research and identify a vehicle capable of delivering multiple orders throughout campus. The vehicle needed to handle a specific amount of food in a given time period, while being sustainable and user friendly. The proposed vehicle for this project is the AX-A3 mini golf cart. The AX-A3 meets the criteria given by the client through the following methods: emits zero GHG or CO2, considered a low power consumption vehicle, capable of maneuvring around campus, capable to drive on sidewalks and pedestrian paths, comfortable for the user, and customizable appearance for marketing purposes.The proposed system of delivery meets and exceeds all facets of the project and fits within the image of a sustainable and community conscience organization. The following sections discuss the investigation, design and implementation of the AMS Food Delivery System.Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

Spectrum Noise Exposures -  Analysis and Control Implementation
Creators: name: Naylor, Kyle Lynn
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2013

description: The Dee Glen Smith spectrum at Utah State University has a reputation of having one of the loudest student sections in the nation. For years, students have taken pride in creating a home court advantage by creating an extremely rowdy and loud atmosphere. Many would agree that this is what makes USU basketball so special.
Elevated noise levels, however, have the potential of creating a health hazard to both employees and spectators. Elevated noise levels can cause negative acute effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). The most likely acute affects that students, employees, and patrons may experience are tinnitus and headache. Chronic exposures to elevated noise levels cause sensory nerve damage to auditory hair cells, resulting in Noise Induced Hearing Loss. In order to understand the seriousness of these noise exposures within the spectrum, measurements were taken at home games for the 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 USU basketball seasons. Small personal meters (known as noise dosimeters) were worn by an employee and a student at each game which determined the degree of their personal exposure to noise levels.
It was found that students and employees were consistently exposed to very high noise levels. OHSA has developed a standard which states that an employee shall not receive a noise dose > 100%. This dose is calculated by setting up a personal dosimeter with the proper parameters (A-weighted, 5 dB exchange rate, and slow response rate). By OSHA standards, those in the student section are being exposed to unacceptable levels at the majority of games. When assessing personal noise doses using parameters provided by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, which is a more accurate representation of noise exposures to the human ear, noise exposures to employees and spectators were even higher. ACGIH bases their exposure values on a 3 dB exchange rate which more closely represents the human ear's reaction to noise intensity. For example, a 3 dB increase represents a 200% increase in noise intensity. While most employee exposures have been within OSHA compliance standards, the prevalence of exposures exceeding an 85 decibel TWA (time weighted average) warrant the use of hearing protection at USU basketball games.
Utah State University' s hearing conservation program states that employees must wear hearing protection if they are exposed to noise levels exceeding an 85 dBA TWA. Noise measurement data is used to support my recommendation that USU athletics provide employees hearing protection (ear plugs) as required by OSHA CFR 1910.95 (explained in OSHA 3074), and that students and spectators have hearing protection made available to them at the games.
The two main goals of the study were the following:

Determine whether a correlation between employee/spectator noise dose and spectator attendance exists.
Assess the noise doses received by employees and spectators in order to implement effective and feasible controls.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2014

description: ABC Inc., "ABC" or "The Company", is a leading manufacturer of precision rotary valves, feeders, screw conveyors, and components found in industrial material handling systems. Due to their proprietary products, exceptional durability, and custom design and manufacturing processes, ABC has developed a reputation as a premium manufacturer and supplier of choice across various industries. ABC initially targeted the wood products industry, and pulp and paper remains its largest industry segment today, but The Company has since expanded its services to mining, cement, chemical companies as well as coal and biomass burning plants. In addition to its proprietary products, ABC provides custom machining and fabrication services for select clients.
Located in Reno, Nevada and founded in 1977 by the original owners, ABC has had a presence in the West for over 35 years. Current legacy owners purchased The Company in 2003 and grew The Company to record profitability levels in 2008. Following down years during the economic recession, The Owner brought on John Smith, an experienced executive of several private and public machining companies, to act as CEO of ABC in 2011. With John's help, The Company has since rebounded to near pre-recession profitability levels as the housing market and domestic manufacturing continue to improve. ABC did $6.8M in revenue and $1.23M in adjusted EBITDA for 2012 and $6.86M in 2013 with an adjusted EBITDA of ~$1.57M.
Although not currently involved in the day-to-day operations at ABC, The Owner was working to resolve litigation that was brought against ABC by MMM Company. The $1.48M product liability claim was for a damaged machine due to faulty components ABC machined for MMM Company, but has since been resolved. At a court settlement hearing on Jan 7, 2014, a judge ordered a settlement of $500k, which will be paid in full by ABC's insurance company. Documents have been signed and area attached as Exhibit 2. The matter is detailed further at a later point in this memorandum.
The Owner is looking to retire and has approached John Smith to complete a management buyout of The Company. John Smith and sponsor Deal Sponsor have approached CVF to provide capital for the management buyout.

description: The phase behavior of ionic fluids on simple cubic and tetragonal (anisotropic) lattices has been studied by grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Systems with both the true lattice Coulombic potential and continuous-space $1/r$ electrostatic interactions have been investigated. At all degrees of anisotropy, only coexistence between a disordered low-density phase and an ordered high-density phase with the structure similar to ionic crystal was found, in contrast to recent theoretical predictions. Tricritical parameters were determined to be monotonously increasing functions of anisotropy parameters which is consistent with theoretical calculations based on the Debye-Hückel approach. At large anisotropies a two-dimensional-like behavior is observed, from which we estimated the dimensionless tricritical temperature and density for the two-dimensional square lattice electrolyte to be $T^*_{tri}=0.14$ and $ρ^*_{tri} = 0.70$.
