description: Numerous lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), exhibit dilation of the airways. Accurate measurement of dilatation enables assessment of the progression of disease. Unfortunately the combination of image noise and airway bifurcations causes high variability in the profiles of cross-sectional areas, rendering the identification of affected regions very difficult. Here we introduce a noise-robust method for automatically detecting the location of progressive airway dilatation given two profiles of the same airway acquired at different time points. We propose a probabilistic model of abrupt relative variations between profiles and perform inference via Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method on two datasets; (i) images of healthy airways with simulated dilatation; (ii) pairs of real images of IPF-affected airways acquired at 1 year intervals. Our model is able to detect the starting location of airway dilatation with an accuracy of 2.5mm on simulated data. The experiments on the IPF dataset display reasonable agreement with radiologists. We can compute a relative change in airway volume that may be useful for quantifying IPF disease progression.

Accessing Healthcare in the Intermountain West During the Age of Precarious Labor
Creators: name: Hammon, Jordan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: This research aims to improve our understanding about the association between precarious employment and healthcare access. Using the framework of neoliberalism and the history of welfare reform in the United States, this thesis investigates the relationship between precarious labor and two outcomes associated with health insurance access, namely Medicaid utilization, and being uninsured. I also examine one potential consequence of Medicaid utilization and lack of insurance, having a usual place of health care in the context of the Intermountain West region of the United States.
Using new survey data and quantitative methodologies, this research shows how economic changes, particularly related to labor, impacts healthcare access. The results show that changes in the labor economy are impacting citizens in important ways, including limiting their access to health care. This research is important for understanding how the political economy is changing in the United States and is re-shaping health care access, or the lack thereof, among workers with non-traditional employment arrangements.
Having a better understanding of how neoliberal policies are impacting healthcare access is beneficial for informing policy makers of the the negative consequences of those policies. It also increases our understanding of the direction the political economy is heading in terms of labor and healthcare. This research was made possible through the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station which funded ongoing research in the Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Anthropology of Utah State University and did not require additional funding to be completed.

Season Advancement of Cool Season Cut Flower Crops Snapdragon and Peony
Creators: name: Lewis, Maegen A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Demand and production of specialty cut flowers is growing across the U.S., but research is lacking in the U.S. Intermountain West, where the semi-arid and high elevation climate offers unique challenges for growers. The goal of this study was to evaluate the stem quality, harvest timing, and yield of snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) ‘Chantilly’, ‘Potomac’, and ‘Rocket’ and peony (Paeonia lactiflora) ‘Coral Charm’ as cool-season cut flower crops under high tunnel and field production in North Logan, Utah. Snapdragons were transplanted at three-week intervals beginning in early-February in high tunnels and ending in late-May in the field. Peony low-tunnel and soil heating treatments were implemented February-March within the high tunnel and field. High tunnels advanced snapdragon production by 5-8 weeks and resulted in 31% more sellable stems than the field, while field production extended harvest 2-8 weeks later. ‘Chantilly’ production began the earliest (4 and 6 May), while ‘Potomac’ produced the most stems longer than 91 cm, and ‘Rocket’ produced the highest marketability (90%) for later transplant dates. For peonies, high tunnels advanced production by 26 days compared to natural field conditions. Soil heating and low tunnels advanced production up to nine days compared to control treatments within the high tunnel and field, but also reduced stem quality by increasing insect damage and leaf burn from warmer temperatures. The use of high tunnel and field production combined with other methods to stagger harvest resulted in harvest season lengths of 4.5 months for snapdragons and six weeks for peonies, allowing growers to meet both early- and main-season market demands.

description: Die folgende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit einer Machine learning Applikation aus dem Bereich der neuronalen Netze. Ein LSTM Model wird genutzt, um eine Sentiment-Analyse im Bereich blockchain Nachrichten durchzuführen. Dabei wird dem Leser ein tieferer Einblick in die Model-Spezifikationen und Wahl der Parameter gegeben. Es wurden insgesamt ca. 25000 Artikel im Zeitraum von April 2013 bis April 2019 von Coindesk (2019) mit Hilfe eines dynamischen Web-scrapers gesammelt. Außerdem werden verschiedene Methoden vorgestellt, die strukturelle Probleme im trainings Datensatz, wie beispielsweise "imbalanced Data", beheben sollen. Zu diesem Zweck wird das Konzept des "SMOTE oversamplings" vorgestellt. Anschließend werden die Ergebnisse des LSTM Models mit den Ergebnissen eines anderen Models aus dem Bereich Machine learning (SVM) verglichen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich LSTM für Sentiment-Analysen besser eignet, da es in der Lage ist Abhängigkeiten über einen längeren Zeitraum in Textdokumenten besser abzubilden. Weiterhin wird eine statische Regression vorgestellt, die den Zusammenhang zwischen den geschätzten Sentiment Indizes und dem Ertrag verschiedener US Sektoren erklären soll. Nachdem die vielversprechendsten Sektoren, mit stärkeren Einflüssen aus dem Bereich Blockchain, identifiziert wurden, konnte keine signifikante Beziehung zwischen Erträgen aus US Sektoren und Blockchain Sentiment etabliert werde. Jedoch konnte die Hypothese, dass Blockchain Sentiment heute die bedingte Varianz in Sektorerträgen morgen beeinflusst, mit Hilfe eines GARCH Models bestätigt werden.
description: In this thesis, an LSTM architecture is presented to perform sentence-level sentiment analysis for blockchain news articles. An in-depth look into the model specification and the choice of different model parameters is given. Around 25000 articles from April 2013 to April 2019 were gathered from the business section of Coindesk (2019) using a dynamic Web-scraper. Various methods like SMOTE oversampling are introduced to account for an imbalanced training dataset. The model performance is compared to an SVM model, and it could be shown that LSTM is better suited for sentiment analysis as it is superior in modeling long term semantic dependencies in text data. Furthermore, a static contemporaneous Regression is employed to explain the relationship between blockchain sentiment and returns in different US Sectors. After identifying the most promising US sectors with stronger ties to the blockchain news sentiment, the regression model could not establish a significant influence of blockchain sentiment on US sector returns. However, the hypothesis that blockchain sentiment today increases the conditional volatility in returns tomorrow could be established for specific sectors by implementing a GARCH model.

description: In 1960 Fuchs posed the problem of characterizing the groups which are the groups of units of commutative rings. In the following years, some partial answers have been given to this question in particular cases. In this paper we address Fuchs' question for {\it finitely generated abelian} groups and we consider the problem of characterizing those groups which arise in some fixed classes of rings $\mathcal C$, namely the integral domains, the torsion free rings and the reduced rings. To determine the realizable groups we have to establish what finite abelian groups $T$ (up to isomorphism) occur as torsion subgroup of $A^*$ when $A$ varies in $\mathcal C$, and on the other hand, we have to determine what are the possible values of the rank of $A^*$ when $(A^*)_{tors}\cong T$. Most of the paper is devoted to the study of the class of torsion-free rings, which needs a substantially deeper study.

Relationship Pacing in Adolescents Before and After a Relationship Education Course: Considering the Influence of Demographics, Relationship History and Well-Being
Creators: name: Hodgskiss, Sarah
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2021

description: Adolescence is a time when many individuals begin to participate in dating. Adolescent romantic relationships can have benefits for youth but can also be harmful if they do not have the information and skills needed to form and maintain healthy relationships. This study analyzed survey data from a youth relationship education program entitled the Premarital and Interpersonal Choices and Knowledge (PICK) program from a group of 14,468 adolescents. This study examined how different demographics were associated with decision making in relationships, referred to as relationship pacing in this study, before participating in the course. Demographic factors that were included were race, gender, family structure, number of times moved and if the individuals felt their basic needs were being met. Additional factors such as the well-being of students and if they had ever dated were also examined to test if those factors influenced their relationship pacing. This study also examined the students’ improvements in their reports of decision making in relationships after participating in the course and whether their demographics influenced how they benefited from the class. Again, their well-being and whether they had ever dated were also considered as potential moderators. Findings indicated that certain demographics did report healthier decision making prior to participating in the course and that their reports depended on their well-being and whether they had ever dated. Findings also indicated that some demographics improved in decision making after participating in the course more than others. Again, the degree of these improvements depended on factors such as their well-being and whether they had ever dated. These findings indicate that many factors influence how youth pace their relationships and that some youth may benefit from relationship education more than others. Suggestions are given for future research to continue to understand for whom relationship education is the most beneficial and for practitioners to be aware of these differences in participants when presenting relationship education courses.

description: The abelian Higgs model on the noncommutative plane admits both BPS vortices and non-BPS fluxons. After reviewing the properties of these solitons, we discuss several new aspects of the former. We solve the Bogomoln'yi equations perturbatively, to all orders in the inverse noncommutivity parameter, and show that the metric on the moduli space of k vortices reduces to the computation of the trace of a k-dimensional matrix. In the limit of large noncommutivity, we present an explicit expression for this metric.

description: We propose a cosmological scenario in which the hot big bang universe is produced by the collision of a brane in the bulk space with a bounding orbifold plane, beginning from an otherwise cold, vacuous, static universe. The model addresses the cosmological horizon, flatness and monopole problems and generates a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of density perturbations without invoking superluminal expansion (inflation). The scenario relies, instead, on physical phenomena that arise naturally in theories based on extra dimensions and branes. As an example, we present our scenario predominantly within the context of heterotic M-theory. A prediction that distinguishes this scenario from standard inflationary cosmology is a strongly blue gravitational wave spectrum, which has consequences for microwave background polarization experiments and gravitational wave detectors.

description: Understanding the gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) formation pathway from aqueous solution has been the subject of intensive research in the past years. This interest stems from the fact that gypsum appears to fall into a broader category of crystalline materials whose formation does not follow classical nucleation and growth theories. The pathways involve transitory precursor cluster species, yet the actual structural properties of such clusters are not very well understood. Here, we show how in situ high-energy X-ray diffraction experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can be combined to derive the structure of small CaSO4 clusters, which are precursors of crystalline gypsum. We fitted several plausible structures to the derived pair distribution functions and explored their dynamic properties using unbiased MD simulations based on both rigid ion and polarizable force fields. Determination of the structure and (meta)stability of the primary species is important from both a fundamental and applied perspective; for example, this will allow for an improved design of additives for greater control of the nucleation pathway.

Back-reaction is included in a semiclassical approximation. Calculations of the stress-energy tensor of matter coupled to the physical spacetime for an affine null observer demonstrate that the black hole evaporation proceeds smoothly and the near-extremal black hole evolves back to an extremal ground state, until this approximation breaks down.

description: We apply the coarse-grained Hall-Vinen-Bekarevich-Khalatnikov (HVBK) equations to model the statistically steady-state, turbulent, cylindrically symmetric radial counterflow generated by a moderately large heat flux from the surface of a cylinder immersed in superfluid $^4$He. We show that a time-independent solution exists only if a spatial non-uniformity of temperature and the dependence on temperature of the thermodynamic properties are accounted for. We demonstrate the formation of a thermal boundary layer whose thickness grows with temperature of the cylinder's surface, and analyze the properties of the flow in the radial direction, including the local average vortex line density.

description: Abstract

This study explores the ergonomic implications of mobile phone use with a focus on hand fatigue, a common yet understudied issue associated with prolonged mobile device usage. Considering how different screen sizes impact user comfort, the research employs a multifaceted methodological approach, analyzing the ergonomic interactions between various smartphone designs and their users. Key findings suggest that while physical characteristics like screen size and hand dimensions influence comfort, their overall impact on ergonomic discomfort is minimal. However, variations in screen size significantly affect typing comfort and fatigue, indicating the need for diverse design considerations to accommodate different user needs. The study highlights the importance of ergonomic design in enhancing user comfort and reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries, advocating for mobile phone designs that prioritize user health alongside technological advancements. Future research should expand participant diversity and adopt longitudinal study designs to better understand the long-term ergonomic impacts of mobile phone use.

description: We show how massive/gauged maximal supergravities in 11-n dimensions with SO(n-l,l) gauge groups (and other non-semisimple subgroups of Sl(n,R)) can be systematically obtained by dimensional reduction of ``massive 11-dimensional supergravity''. This series of massive/gauged supergravities includes, for instance, Romans' massive N=2A,d=10 supergravity for n=1, N=2,d=9 SO(2) and SO(1,1) gauged supergravities for n=2, and N=8,d=5 SO(6-l,l) gauged supergravity. In all cases, higher p-form fields get masses through the Stuckelberg mechanism which is an alternative to self-duality in odd dimensions.

description: We study lepton polarization asymmetries in the (Lambda_b -> Lambda l^+ l^-) decay using the most general model independent effective Hamiltonian. The dependence of the lepton polarizations and their combinations on the new Wilson coefficients are studied in detail. It is observed that there is a region for the new Wilson coefficients for which the branching ratio coincides with the standard model prediction, while lepton polarizations show considerable departure from standard model.

description: We consider the matrix quantum mechanics of N D0-branes in the background of the 1-form RR field. It is observed that the transformations of matrix coordinates of D0-branes induce on the Abelian RR field symmetry transformations that are like those of non-Abelian gauge fields. The Lorentz-like equations of motion for matrix coordinates are derived. The field strengths appearing in the Lorentz-like equations transform in the adjoint representation of U(N) under symmetry transformations. A possible relation between D0-brane dynamics in RR background, and the semi-classical dynamics of charged particles in Yang-Mills background is mentioned.

description: The quasar 3C454.3 underwent a uniquely-structured multi-frequency outburst in June 2016. The blazar was observed in the optical $R$ band by several ground-based telescopes in photometric and polarimetric modes, at $γ$-ray frequencies by the \emph{Fermi}\ Large Area Telescope, and at 43 GHz with the Very Long Baseline Array. The maximum flux density was observed on 2016 June 24 at both optical and $γ$-ray frequencies, reaching $S^\mathrm{max}_\mathrm{opt}=18.91\pm0.08$ mJy and $S_γ^\mathrm{max} =22.20\pm0.18\times10^{-6}$ ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, respectively. The June 2016 outburst possessed a precipitous decay at both $γ$-ray and optical frequencies, with the source decreasing in flux density by a factor of 4 over a 24-hour period in $R$ band. Intraday variability was observed throughout the outburst, with flux density changes between 1 and 5 mJy over the course of a night. The precipitous decay featured statistically significant quasi-periodic micro-variability oscillations with an amplitude of $\sim 2$-$3\%$ about the mean trend and a characteristic period of 36 minutes. The optical degree of polarization jumped from $\sim3\%$ to nearly 20\% during the outburst, while the position angle varied by $\sim120\degr$. A knot was ejected from the 43 GHz core on 2016 Feb 25, moving at an apparent speed $v_\mathrm{app}=20.3c\pm0.8c$. From the observed minimum timescale of variability $τ_\mathrm{opt}^\mathrm{min}\approx2$ hr and derived Doppler factor $δ=22.6$, we find a size of the emission region $r\lesssim2.6\times10^{15}$ cm. If the quasi-periodic micro-variability oscillations are caused by periodic variations of the Doppler factor of emission from a turbulent vortex, we derive a rotational speed of the vortex $\sim0.2c$.

Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04haebc03
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 2024

description: This thesis work explores the relationship between individual identity and sociocultural context, drawing on Hegel’s concept of “ethical life” to argue that just treatment of individuals requires recognizing the significance of the world they grew up within. Through an analysis of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, the thesis emphasizes how individuals are shaped by their historical and cultural environments, particularly through the dynamics of recognition, ethical life, and conscience. In the first chapter, I explain these key Hegelian concepts to demonstrate how identity and agency are formed within a world of norms and values. In the second chapter, I apply Hegel’s insights to critique the imposition of values—whether by colonial powers or internal authoritarian governance—arguing that such impositions cause violence and objectification. Drawing on Frantz Fanon and Saba Mahmood, I explore the unjust consequences of disavowing individuals’ worlds and argue for respecting their embedded values. The third chapter explores a solution called “immanent change,” where cultural practices evolve internally rather than being imposed from outside. Using examples from Afghanistan, Egypt, and Iran, I show how Hegel’s ideas can help us understand justice in intercultural interactions.
Modeling Interface Charge Traps in Junctionless FETs, Including Temperature Effects

description: In this paper, an analytical predictive model of interface charge traps in symmetric long channel double-gate junctionless transistors is proposed based on a charge-based model. Interface charge traps arising from the exposure to chemicals, high-energy ionizing radiation or aging mechanism could degrade the charge-voltage characteristics. The model is predictive in a range of temperature from 77K to 400K. The validity of the approach is confirmed by extensive comparisons with numerical TCAD simulations in all regions of operation from deep depletion to accumulation and linear to saturation.
