title: Gag reflex and disgust sensitivity in selective eaters
Creators: name: Nichols, Hayley
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2018

description:
The gag reflex evolved to protect individuals from choking, due to the unique overlap between the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts in adult humans. A potentially related response is disgust, an emotion that influences avoidance of harmful foods. Both responses are protective, but the gag reflex is little studied outside the context of dental procedures. Selective eaters are known to reject foods, particularly vegetables, due to perceived disagreeable textures, tastes, and other sensory characteristics. This study explores two hypotheses to examine possible relationships of these three reactions: 1) stronger gagging will be accompanied by a more sensitive disgust response and 2) selective eaters will exhibit a more extreme response to gag and disgust triggers. Methods consisted of the Predictive Gagging Survey, the Disgust Scale-Revised (DS-R), and an itemized list of behaviors adapted from previous studies distributed to students at Western Washington University. SPSS Statistics 24.0 is used for statistical analyses. Results supported hypothesis one but rejected hypothesis two. Further tests showed significant correlations between selective eating behaviors and four variables determined through the following surveys: the Predictive Gagging Survey and the DS-R. More studies are needed to elucidate the relationship of the gag reflex and disgust sensitivity to food preferences and selective eating behaviors.

description: All one-condition generalized inverses of the Markovian kernel I - P, where P is the transition matrix of a finite irreducible Markov chain, can be uniquely specified in terms of the stationary probabilities and the mean first passage times of the underlying Markov chain. Special sub-families include the group inverse of I - P, Kemeny and Snell's fundamental matrix of the Markov chain and the Moore-Penrose g-inverse. The elements of some sub-families of the generalized inverses can also be re-expressed involving the second moments of the recurrence time variables. Some applications to Kemeny's constant and perturbations of Markov chains are also considered.

description: We study the properties of the probability density function (PDF) of a bistable system driven by heavy tailed white symmetric Lévy noise. The shape of the stationary PDF is found analytically for the particular case of the Lévy index α= 1 (Cauchy noise). For an arbitrary Lévy index we employ numerical methods based on the solution of the stochastic Langevin equation and space fractional kinetic equation. In contrast with the bistable system driven by Gaussian noise, in the Lévy case the positions of maxima of the stationary PDF do not coincide with the positions of minima of the bistable potential. We provide a detailed study of the distance between the maxima and the minima as a function of the potential's depth and Lévy noise parameters.

Could SXP 1062 be an Accreting Magnetar?

description: In this work we explore the possible evolutionary track of the neutron star in the newly discovered Be/X-ray binary SXP 1062, which is believed to be the first X-ray pulsar associated with a supernova remnant. Although no cyclotron feature has been detected to indicate the strength of the neutron star's magnetic field, we show that it may be $\ga 10^{14} $G. If so SXP 1062 may belong to the accreting magnetars in binary systems. We attempt to reconcile the short age and long spin period of the pulsar taking account of different initial parameters and spin-down mechanisms of the neutron star. Our calculated results show that, to spin down to a period $\sim 1000 $s within $10-40 $kyr requires efficient propeller mechanisms. In particular, the model for angular momentum loss under energy conservation seems to be ruled out.

description: We have used a combination of neutron resonant spin-echo and triple-axis spectroscopies to determine the energy and linewidth of the magnon resonance in IPA-Cu(Cl$_{0.95}$Br$_{0.05}$)$_3$, a model spin-1/2 ladder antiferromagnet where Br substitution induces bond randomness. We find that the bond defects induce a blueshift, $δΔ$, and broadening, $δΓ$, of the magnon gap excitation compared to the pure compound. At temperatures exceeding the energy scale of the inter-ladder exchange interactions, $δΔ$ and $δΓ$ are temperature independent within the experimental error, in agreement with Matthiessen's rule according to which magnon-defect scattering yields a temperature independent contribution to the magnon mean free path. Upon cooling, $δΔ$ and $δΓ$ become temperature dependent and saturate at values lower than those observed at higher temperature, consistent with the crossover from one-dimensional to two-dimensional spin correlations with decreasing temperature previously observed in pure IPA-CuCl$_3$. These results indicate limitations in the applicability of Matthiessen's rule for magnon scattering in low-dimensional magnets.

description: We consider axion-mediated dark matter models motivated by Fermi gamma ray line at 130 GeV, where anomaly interactions of an axion-like scalar mediate a singlet Dirac fermion dark matter (DM) to electroweak gauge bosons. In these models, extra vector-like leptons generate anomaly interactions for the axion and can also couple to the SM Higgs boson to modify the Higgs-to-diphoton rate. We can distinguish models by the branching fraction of the DM annihilation into a photon pair, favoring the model with a triplet fermion. From the condition that the lighter charged extra lepton must be heavier than dark matter for no tree-level DM annihilations, we also show that the ratio of Higgs-to-diphoton rate to the SM value is constrained by vacuum stability to 1.4(1.5) for the cutoff scale of 10(1) TeV.

description: We consider the statistical experiment of functional linear regression (FLR). Furthermore, we introduce a white noise model where one observes an Ito process, which contains the covariance operator of the corresponding FLR model in its construction. We prove asymptotic equivalence of FLR and this white noise model in LeCam's sense under known design distribution. Moreover, we show equivalence of FLR and an empirical version of the white noise model for finite sample sizes. As an application, we derive sharp minimax constants in the FLR model which are still valid in the case of unknown design distribution.

description: We investigated the ALMA science verification data of Orion KL and found a spectral signature of the vibrationally excited H2O maser line at 232.68670 GHz (nu2=1, 5,5,0-6,4,3). This line has been detected in circumstellar envelopes of late-type stars so far but not in young stellar objects including Orion KL. Thus, this is the first detection of the 232 GHz vibrationally excited H2O maser in star-forming regions. The distribution of the 232 GHz maser is concentrated at the position of the radio Source I, which is remarkably different from other molecular lines. The spectrum shows a double-peak structure at the peak velocities of -2.1 and 13.3 km s-1. It appears to be consistent with the 22 GHz H2O masers and 43 GHz SiO masers observed around Source I. Thus, the 232 GHz H2O maser around Source I would be excited by the internal heating by an embedded protostar, being associated with either the root of the outflows/jets or the circumstellar disk around Source I, as traced by the 22 GHz H2O masers or 43 GHz SiO masers, respectively.

description: This paper documents the comprehensive process of designing and executing a video oral history project through a case study of The Living History Oral History Project which is accessioned to the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History. Discussions of each phase of the project from concept, design, field work, archiving, and interpretation demonstrates how expanding technology increases the narrative opportunities presented by oral history research. The added feature of digital video technology creates visuality, which is an expansion on Alessandro Portelli’s concepts of orality and history telling. Since discoverability and accessibility is a traditional problem in using oral history recordings as research materials, the case study includes discussion of the accessioning process, including indexing using the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer or OHMS. The paper also proposes a format for scholarly citation style to be used with OHMS indexing, based on the Chicago Style Manual. The paper concludes that the combined narrative elements of orality and visuality which rely on recording of sensations, goes beyond memory as the substance of oral history and taps into shared experience as the basis of memory.

description: We report the detection of GeV γ-ray emission from the supernova remnant Puppis A with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. Puppis A is among the faintest supernova remnants yet detected at GeV energies, with a luminosity of only 2.7x10^34 (D/2.2 kpc)^2 erg/s between 1 and 100 GeV. The γ-ray emission from the remnant is spatially extended, with a morphology matching that of the radio and X-ray emission, and is well described by a simple power law with an index of 2.1. We attempt to model the broadband spectral energy distribution, from radio to γ-rays, using standard nonthermal emission mechanisms. To constrain the relativistic electron population we use 7 years of WMAP data to extend the radio spectrum up to 93 GHz. Both leptonic and hadronic dominated models can reproduce the nonthermal spectral energy distribution, requiring a total content of cosmic ray (CR) electrons and protons accelerated in Puppis A of at least (1-5)x10^49 erg.

description: The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) hosts a rich and varied population of supernova remnants (SNRs). Optical, X-ray, and radio observations are required to identify these SNRs, as well as to ascertain the various processes responsible for the large array of physical characteristics observed. In this paper we attempted to confirm the candidate SNR [HP99] 1234, identified in X-rays with ROSAT, as a true SNR by supplementing these X-ray data with optical and radio observations. Optical data from the Magellanic Cloud Emission Line Survey (MCELS) and new radio data from the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST), in addition to the ROSAT X-ray data, were used to perform a morphological analysis of this candidate SNR. An approximately ellipsoidal shell of enhanced [SII], typical of an SNR ([SII]/Halpha > 0.4), was detected in the optical. This enhancement is coincident with faint radio emission at 36 cm. Using the available data we estimated the size of the remnant to be ~5.1' x 4.0' (~75 pc x 59 pc). However, the measurement along the major-axis was somewhat uncertain due to a lack of optical and radio emission at its extremities and the poor resolution of the X-ray data. Assuming this SNR is in the Sedov phase and adopting the ambient mass density of 1.2x10^-25 g cm^-3 measured in a nearby HII region, an age estimate of ~25 kyr was calculated for a canonical initial explosion energy of 10^51 erg. However, this age estimate should be treated cautiously due to uncertainties on the adopted parameters. Analysis of the local stellar population suggested a type Ia event as a precursor to this SNR, however, a core-collapse mechanism could not be ruled out due to the possibility of the progenitor being a runaway massive star. With the detection of X-ray, radio and optical line emission with enhanced [SII], this object was confirmed as an SNR and we assign the identifier MCSNR J0527-7104.

It is shown that at the same $T$ the state with antibosons has higher entropy, lower Helmholtz free energy and higher pressure than the state without antibosons, but the same Gibbs free energy as it should. This implies that the configuration without antibosons is metastable. Results are generalized for arbitrary $d$ spatial dimensions.

We prove that every finite set of at least 328k^2 points in the plane contains an empty pentagon or k collinear points. This is optimal up to a constant factor since the (k-1)x(k-1) grid contains no empty pentagon and no k collinear points. The previous best known bound was doubly exponential.

title: Integrated Food Systems Education: A Network Assessment of Bellingham, WA
Creators: name: Mead, Ciera
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
As a community member, student, and educator within Bellingham’s food system I had hoped to contribute to the community's food education programming by developing and teaching an integrated food system curriculum. This project documents the development and repeated roadblocks to applying this curriculum. In response, I considered an alternative approach. Rather than trying to teach something novel as a relative newcomer and novice to an established community, why not learn from the existing network of food system educators. Under this new direction, I pressed forward by interviewing five local food educators from separate institutions that serve varied audiences and teach different but overlapping content. This assessment of Bellingham's food system education network culminated in four value-based and pedagogical recommendations for building inclusivity within the community.
title: Long-term propagule pressure overwhelms early community determination of invader success in a serpentine grassland
Creators: name: Carr, Amanda N.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2018

description:
The role of plant diversity in reducing invasions has generated decades of debate. Diverse communities might be more resistant to invasion because the communities contain resident species that are functionally similar to the invader (limiting similarity/sampling effect), or the residents use the range of available resources more effectively (complementarity) than single species. However, the resistance of diverse communities to invasion appears to decline with increasing spatial and temporal scale, in a phenomenon called the “invasion paradox.” I addressed two groups of hypotheses related to this paradox, broadly that: (1) functional diversity and functional identity resist invasion initially, via complementarity or limiting similarity; and (2) disturbance and propagule pressure interact to weaken the effects of functional diversity and identity on invader success through time. Using long-term data from experimental assemblages in a serpentine grassland of California, I examined the abundance of a high impact invader, yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis), in response to functional diversity (functional dispersion), functional dissimilarity, extent of pocket gopher disturbance, and propagule pressure. Neither diversity, nor dissimilarity, nor disturbance significantly impacted the success of C. solstitialis at any point in the study. Instead, propagule pressure was the single most important predictor of C. solstitialis abundance. These findings suggest that continued dispersal may eventually outweigh community resistance when considering a longer-term view of invasion. Thus, conservation efforts focused on preventing the introduction and establishment of invasive species should recognize that even diverse communities are susceptible to invasion over time.

description: Diffraction limited resolution adaptive optics (AO) correction in visible wavelengths requires a high performance control. In this paper we investigate infinite impulse response filters that optimize the wavefront correction: we tested these algorithms through full numerical simulations of a single-conjugate AO system comprising an adaptive secondary mirror with 1127 actuators and a pyramid wavefront sensor (WFS). The actual practicability of the algorithms depends on both robustness and knowledge of the real system: errors in the system model may even worsen the performance. In particular we checked the robustness of the algorithms in different conditions, proving that the proposed method can reject both disturbance and calibration errors.

description: Carbon fiber-carbon microcoil (CF-CMC) hybrids were formed on carbon fiber (CF)-based fabrics using thermal chemical vapor deposition system. For the CF-based nonwoven fabrics (c-NFs), the shielding effectiveness (SE) values were improved by the CF-CMC hybridization reaction, although the electrical conductivities of the nonwoven fabric were reduced by the CF-CMC hybrid formation. For the CF-based woven fabrics (c-WFs), the SE values were improved by more than twofold throughout the entire range of frequencies, owing to the CF-CMC hybrid formation. This dramatic improvement was partly ascribed to the enhanced electrical conductivity, particularly in the transverse direction to the individual CFs. Because the c-NFs consist of randomly oriented carbon fibers, the SE values of the samples based on c-NFs are higher than those of the samples based on c-WFs. For c-NFs, H2 plasma treatment was performed on c-NFs to improve the SE values. Consequently, the SE values of the c-NFs was significantly enhanced across the operating frequency range of 0.04 to 20.0 GHz. We compared the SE values of the H2 plasma-treated c-NFs samples with those of the c-NFs samples coated with nano-sized Ag particles. Despite having a lower surface electrical conductivity, H2 plasma-treated c-NFs samples exhibited a considerably higher SE than the Ag-coated c-NFs samples did, across the relatively high operating frequency range of 7.0 to 20.0 GHz. The carbon component of H2 plasma-treated c-NFs samples increased significantly compared with the oxygen component. The H2 plasma treatment transformed the alcohol-type (C-O-H) compounds formed by carbon-oxygen bonds on the surface of the native c-NFs samples into ether-type (C-O-C) compounds. Based on these results, we proposed a mechanism to explain the SE enhancement observed in H2 plasma-treated c-NFs.

description: A microscopic field theory for crystallization in active systems is proposed which unifies the phase-field-crystal model of freezing with the Toner-Tu theory for self-propelled particles. A wealth of different active crystalline states are predicted and characterized. In particular, for increasing strength of self-propulsion, a transition from a resting crystal to a traveling crystalline state is found where the particles migrate collectively while keeping their crystalline order. Our predictions, which are verifiable in experiments and in particle-resolved computer simulations, provide a starting point for the design of new active materials.

description: Biochemical signaling pathways can be insulated from impedance and competition effects through enzymatic "futile cycles" which consume energy, typically in the form of ATP. We hypothesize that better insulation necessarily requires higher energy consumption, and provide evidence, through the computational analysis of a simplified physical model, to support this hypothesis.

description: We present the first ab initio coupled-cluster calculations of medium-mass nuclei with explicit chiral three-nucleon (3N) interactions. Using a spherical formulation of coupled cluster with singles and doubles excitations including explicit 3N contributions, we study ground states of 16,24-O, 40,48-Ca and 56-Ni. We employ chiral NN plus 3N interactions softened through a similarity renormalization group (SRG) transformation at the three-body level. We investigate the impact of all truncations and quantify the resulting uncertainties---this includes the contributions from triples excitations, the truncation of the set of three-body matrix elements, and the omission of SRG-induced four-body interactions. Furthermore, we assess the quality of a normal-ordering approximation of the 3N interaction beyond light nuclei. Our study points towards the predictive power of chiral Hamiltonians in the medium-mass regime.

description: Sub-millimetre observations suggest that the filaments of interstellar clouds have rather uniform widths and can be described with the so-called Plummer profiles. The shapes of the filament profiles are linked to their physical state. Before drawing conclusions on the observed column density profiles, we must evaluate the observational uncertainties. We want to estimate the bias that could result from radiative transfer effects or from variations of submm dust emissivity. We use cloud models obtained with magnetohydrodynamic simulations and carry out radiative transfer calculations to produce maps of sub-millimetre emission. Column densities are estimated based on the synthetic observations. For selected filaments, the estimated profiles are compared to those derived from the original column density. Possible effects from spatial variations of dust properties are examined. With instrumental noise typical of the Herschel observations, the parameters derived for nearby clouds are correct to within a few percent. The radiative transfer effects have only a minor effect on the results. If the signal-to-noise ratio is degraded by a factor of four, the errors become significant and for half of the examined filaments the values cannot be constrained. The errors increase in proportion to the cloud distance. Assuming the resolution of Herschel instruments, the model filaments are barely resolved at a distance of ~400 pc and the errors in the parameters of the Plummer function are several tens of per cent. The Plummer parameters, in particular the power-law exponent p, are sensitive to noise but can be determined with good accuracy using Herschel data. One must be cautious about possible line-of-sight confusion. In our models, a large fraction of the filaments seen in the column density maps are not continuous structures in three dimensions.

Globular Cluster Systems of Spiral and S0 Galaxies: Results from WIYN Imaging of NGC1023, NGC1055, NGC7332 and NGC7339

description: We present results from a study of the globular cluster (GC) systems of four spiral and S0 galaxies imaged as part of an ongoing wide-field survey of the GC systems of giant galaxies. The target galaxies -- the SB0 galaxy NGC1023, the SBb galaxy NGC1055, and an isolated pair comprised of the Sbc galaxy NGC7339 and the S0 galaxy NGC7332 -- were observed in BVR filters with the WIYN 3.5-m telescope and Minimosaic camera. For two of the galaxies, we combined the WIYN imaging with previously-published data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory to help characterize the GC distribution in the central few kiloparsecs. We determine the radial distribution (surface density of GCs versus projected radius) of each galaxy's GC system and use it to calculate the total number of GCs (N_GC). We find N_GC = 490+/-30, 210+/-40, 175+/-15, and 75+/-10 for NGC1023, NGC1055, NGC7332, and NGC7339, respectively. We also calculate the GC specific frequency (N_GC normalized by host galaxy luminosity or mass) and find values typical of those of the other spiral and E/S0 galaxies in the survey. The two lenticular galaxies have sufficient numbers of GC candidates for us to perform statistical tests for bimodality in the GC color distributions. We find evidence at a high confidence level (>95%) for two populations in the B-R distribution of the GC system of NGC1023. We find weaker evidence for bimodality (>81% confidence) in the GC color distribution of NGC7332. Finally, we identify eight GC candidates that may be associated with the Magellanic dwarf galaxy NGC1023A, a satellite of NGC1023.

description: We study the impact of different cold nuclear matter effects both on J/ψ and ψ' production, among them the modification of the gluon distribution in bound nucleons, commonly known as gluon shadowing, and the survival probability for a bound state to escape the nucleus --the nuclear absorption. Less conventional effects such as saturation and fractional energy loss are also discussed. We pay a particular attention to the recent PHENIX preliminary data on ψ' production in dAu collisions at sqrt{s}=200 GeV, which show a strong suppression for central collisions, 5 times larger than the one obtained for J/ψ production at the same energy. We conclude that none of the abovementioned mechanisms can explain this experimental result.

description: We present the updated version of the code used to compute stellar evolutionary tracks in Padova. It is the result of a thorough revision of the major input physics, together with the inclusion of the pre-main sequence phase, not present in our previous releases of stellar models. Another innovative aspect is the possibility of promptly generating accurate opacity tables fully consistent with any selected initial chemical composition, by coupling the OPAL opacity data at high temperatures to the molecular opacities computed with our AESOPUS code (Marigo & Aringer 2009). In this work we present extended sets of stellar evolutionary models for various initial chemical compositions, while other sets with different metallicities and/or different distributions of heavy elements are being computed. For the present release of models we adopt the solar distribution of heavy elements from the recent revision by Caffau et al. (2011), corresponding to a Sun's metallicity Z=0.0152. From all computed sets of stellar tracks, we also derive isochrones in several photometric systems. The aim is to provide the community with the basic tools to model star clusters and galaxies by means of population synthesis techniques.
