title: A Comparative Study to Identify Factors Affecting Adoption of Soil and Water Conservation Practices Among Smallhold Farmers in the Njoro River Watershed of Kenya
Creators: name: Huckett, Steven P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Natural resource conservation is important for human well-being, especially in fragile environments of developing countries. This study occurred in 2006 among 6,500 smallhold farmers residing along a 25-km segment of a heavily utilized river. Research objectives were to determine use and adoption constraints for 14 soil and water conservation practices (SWCPs). Farms were reportedly contributing to a decline in river water quality via soil erosion. Recent occupation of the upper watershed by immigrants magnified concerns that resource degradation could escalate. A multi-method approach incorporating quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, and participant observation was used to interpret constraining factors within the biophysical and historical context of the watershed. Adoption rates for SWCPs were expected to be low (less than 20 percent). Increased formal education, income, access to information, and security of land tenure and soil characteristics, were expected to positively influence adoption. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and use of classification and regression trees. Results indicated that all sampled farms had adopted at least two SWCPs, with an average of six per farm. Favored practices were those that were easier to implement and more effective for resource protection and food production. Years in residence (tenure security) and income emerged as primary explanatory variables for adoption of SWCPs, while soil quality and formal education were secondary. Only 27 percent of surveyed farmers held title deeds, but the others perceived that land occupation conferred "ownership" and hence implemented SWCPs. A follow-up visit in 2009, after the region had endured a year of highly publicized ethnic conflict, immigration and farm expansion continued with SWCPs being adopted. Njoro communities mostly remained intact and appeared resilient. While small farms likely contribute to watershed-scale problems and declines in quality and quantity of water in the River Njoro, farmers have made remarkable strides--largely on their own--to conserve natural resources. Future research should examine how a general lack of infrastructure off-farm and study-site context contributes to reduced watershed-resource quality. Further protection of soil and water is best served by a more aggressive policy and extension education framework that links food security, household well-being, and natural resource management.

description: In this paper, we have investigated the nature of emission distribution of the Maxwell Chern Simon (MCS) Theory in the 2+1 dimension. The distribution of the topologically massive quanta seems to be Poissonian in nature just like the Maxwell field theory in 3+1 dimension but with a condition, without which the distribution takes an indeterminate form when we make the coupling term approach 0.

What factors influence exercise capacity (VO₂peak) in adolescents with Tetralogy of Fallot?
Creators: name: Sha, Cindy (Hsin)

description: BACKGROUND: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart defect. Infants with TOF typically receive surgical correction shortly after birth. Despite undergoing surgery, their exercise capacity (VO2peak) remains reduced. PURPOSE: This study explores the interplay between surgical, physiological and behavioural factors in adolescents with TOF. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesised that a more complicated surgical course – indicated by having postoperative complication and extended hospital stay – along with left and right ventricular systolic dysfunction and a lack of participation in competitive sports would result in reduced % predicted VO₂peak. METHODS: A single-centre, retrospective review (January 2016 – September 2024) of TOF patients aged 11-18 who completed a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) within 6 months of their most recent resting echocardiogram (echo). Additional prospective data was collected: TOF adolescents aged 11 – 18 were recruited between May 2024 – October 2024. Along with standard echo, CPET, recreational physical activity levels, and sports participation data, adolescent participants also completed a motor skills (BOT-2 SF) assessment, and their parents filled out two questionnaires on their own physical activity levels. RESULTS: The median age at primary repair was 7.6 months (5.3-11.7), with the transannular patch surgical technique accounting for 65%. Participants (15.8 years, 14.2-17.5) had a lower % predicted VO₂peak (93, 64-91) compared to healthy adolescents, HRpeak (181bpm, 177-191), O₂pulse peak (10.2ml/beat, 8.7-13.4) and OUESkg (36.5,28.3—42.9). VE/VCO₂ slope was elevated (36.5,34.8 - 40.1). 64% of participants participated in recreational activity at least 2 days per week, and 18% participated in competitive sports. Statistical analysis identified the following predictor variables for % predicted VO₂peak: the occurrence of postoperative complications, hospital length of stay, body mass index (BMI), mitral valve (MV) A wave velocity, the number of recreational physical activity participation days and participation in competitive sports. The final model explained for 80.3% of the variance in % predicted VO₂peak, where BMI (p<0.001), MV A wave velocity (p=0.003) and competitive sports (<0.001) were significant predictors. CONCLUSION: Adolescents with TOF have a lower VO₂peak, which can be explained by body composition, left ventricular compliance, and participation in competitive sports.
title: Identifying and Understanding the Spatial Distribution of Bobcat and Coyote Behavior
Creators: name: Wilson, Ryan Radford

description: A common observation in animal space use studies is that animals do not use space uniformly, but rather use some areas of their home ranges and territories with much higher intensity than others. Numerous methods have been developed to estimate these "core areas"; however, all of the current methods available are based on arbitrary rules. Additionally, most studies do not attempt to understand what behavioral processes lead to the observed patterns of non-uniform space use. This study has four main objectives: 1) to develop an objective and more precise method for estimating core areas, 2) to understand the processes leading to unequal coyote capture probabilities across territories, 3) to understand the biological mechanisms that influence the location of bobcat core areas, and 4) to determine how differences in territory size affect coyote movement patterns. The core area estimation method I developed consistently performed better than methods using arbitrary values to define core areas. Using this method to estimate coyote core areas, I determined that coyote capture locations were not actually biased towards low use areas because of low familiarity with those areas, but rather because of a higher probability of encountering traps there. Intensity of coyote use did, however, influence the location of bobcat core areas. When prey abundance was high, bobcat core areas were located in areas of low coyote use but occurred in areas of high coyote use when prey abundance was low, indicating bobcat core areas are the result of at least two processes: foraging conditions and avoidance of intraguild predation. Lastly, coyote movement behavior changed significantly as territory size increased, leading to faster and straighter movement patterns. However, even though coyotes in larger territories moved twice as fast as those in small territories, they took significantly longer to traverse their territories compared to those in small territories. This might be the result of coyotes occupying large territories being less constrained by defense due to lower conspecific density compared to coyotes occupying small territories. Overall, my research reveals the importance of using more precise methods to delineate animal space use patterns, and the greater information researchers can obtain when they attempt to understand the processes underlying space use patterns.

title: Goodness-of-Fit and Change-Point Tests for Functional Data
Creators: name: Gabrys, Robertas
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: A test for independence and identical distribution of functional observations is proposed in this thesis. To reduce dimension, curves are projected on the most important functional principal components. Then a test statistic based on lagged cross--covariances of the resulting vectors is constructed. We show that this dimension reduction step introduces asymptotically negligible terms, i.e. the projections behave asymptotically as iid vector--valued observations. A complete asymptotic theory based on correlations of random matrices, functional principal component expansions, and Hilbert space techniques is developed. The test statistic has chi-square asymptotic null distribution. Two inferential tests for error correlation in the functional linear model are put forward. To construct them, finite dimensional residuals are computed in two different ways, and then their autocorrelations are suitably defined. From these autocorrelation matrices, two quadratic forms are constructed whose limiting distributions are chi--squared with known numbers of degrees of freedom (different for the two forms). A test for detecting a change point in the mean of functional observations is developed. The null distribution of the test statistic is asymptotically pivotal with a well-known asymptotic distribution. A comprehensive asymptotic theory for the estimation of a change--point in the mean function of functional observations is developed. The procedures developed in this thesis can be readily computed using the R package fda. All theoretical insights obtained in this thesis are confirmed by simulations and illustrated by real life-data examples.

description: Background and purpose: To investigate the possible contribution of indirect damage and damage saturation to tumour control obtained with SBRT/SRS treatments for early-stage NSCLC and brain metastases. Methods and Materials: We have constructed a dataset of early-stage NSCLC and brain metastases dose-response. These data were fitted to models based on the linear-quadratic (LQ), the linear-quadratic-linear (LQL), and phenomenological modifications of the LQ-model to account for indirect cell damage. We use the Akaike-Information-Criterion formalism to compare performance, and studied the stability of the results with changes in fitting parameters and perturbations on dose/TCP values. Results: In NSCLC, a modified LQ-model with a beta-term increasing with dose yields the best-fits for $α$/$β$=10 Gy. Only the inclusion of very fast accelerated proliferation or low $α$/$β$ values can eliminate such superiority. In brain, the LQL model yields the best-fits, and the ranking is not affected by variations of fitting parameters or dose/TCP perturbations. Conclusions: For $α$/$β$=10 Gy, a modified LQ-model with a beta-term increasing with dose provides better fits to NSCLC dose-response curves. For brain metastases, the LQL provides the best fit. This might be interpreted as a hint of indirect damage in NSCLC, and damage saturation in brain metastases. The results for NSCLC are strongly dependent on the value of $α$/$β$ and may require further investigation, while those for brain seem to be clearly significant. Our results can assist in the design of improved radiotherapy for NSCLC and brain metastases, aiming at avoiding over/under-treatment.

title: Evaluating Native Wheatgrasses for Restoration of Sagebrush Steppes
Creators: name: Mukherjee, Jayanti Ray
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: Pseudoroegneria spicata and Elymus wawawaiensis are two native perennial bunchgrasses of North America's Intermountain West. Frequent drought, past overgrazing practices, subsequent weed invasions, and increased wildfire frequency have combined to severely degrade natural landscapes in the region, leading to a decline in the abundance of native vegetation. Being formerly widespread throughout the region, P. spicata is a favorite for restoration purposes in the Intermountain West. Elymus wawawaiensis, which occupies a more restricted distribution in the Intermountain West, is often used as a restoration surrogate for P. spicata. However, since most restoration sites are outside the native range of E. wawawaiensis and as the use of native plant material may be more desirable than a surrogate, the use of E. wawawaiensis as a restoration plant material has been somewhat controversial. The main goal of my research was to identify plant materials of these species with superior seedling growth, drought tolerance, and defoliation tolerance, traits that may contribute to enhanced ecological function in restored rangeland plant communities. I conducted a growth-chamber study to evaluate morphological and growth-related traits of germinating seedlings of these two species. My study suggested that, while the two bunchgrasses are similar in many ways, they display fundamentally different strategies at the very-young seedling stage. While P. spicata exhibited greater shoot and root biomass to enhance establishment, E. wawawaiensis displayed high specific leaf area (SLA) and specific root length (SRL), two traits commonly associated with faster growth. According to the eco-physiology literature, plants with greater stress tolerance display lesser growth potential. However, my greenhouse study showed that E. wawawaiensis was relatively more drought tolerant than P. spicata, despite higher expression of growth-related traits, e.g., SLA and SRL. While the two species displayed similar water use efficiency when water was abundant, E. wawawaiensis was also more efficient in its water use when drought stress was imposed. In a field study, I found E. wawawaiensis to be twice as defoliation tolerant as P. spicata. This study showed that P. spicata is typically more productive in the absence of defoliation, but E. wawawaiensis was more productive after defoliation due to its superior ability to recover and hence is a better candidate for rangelands that will be grazed. Hence, my study showed that E. wawawaiensis, despite being regarded as a surrogate for P. spicata, exhibits superior seedling establishment, drought tolerance, and defoliation tolerance. Therefore, E. wawawaiensis has advantages as a restoration species for the Intermountain West.

title: In-Pile Thermal Conductivity Measurement Methods for Nuclear Fuels
Creators: name: Fox, Brandon S.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Measuring nuclear fuel thermal conductivity in-pile can provide much needed data for understanding fuel performance during irradiation and yield thermophysical property data needed for simulation codes and fuel databases. The objective of this research is to develop and compare two in-pile thermal conductivity methods in a laboratory setting using surrogate fuel materials. A steady-state radial heat flow method was investigated to understand its viability as an in-pile steady-state thermal conductivity technique. By using Joule heating to simulate volumetric heat generation within a surrogate fuel rod, thermal conductivity was measured with two thermocouples at different radial positions within the rod. Examinations were completed on two batches of surrogate materials over the temperature range of 500 to 700 °C. The selected surrogate rod was fabricated from the only material identified to possess the required thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity required for the selected laboratory approach. Evaluations estimated a measurement uncertainty of 12% and values were within 33% of values obtained using laboratory material property measurement systems for this surrogate material. Results indicate that the selected surrogate rod material limited the ability to assess this approach at higher temperatures in a laboratory setting. A transient needle probe method adapted from American Standard Test Method standards was also used to measure temperature-dependent thermal conductivity of surrogate fuel rod materials for temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400 °C. The needle probe has a heating element and a temperature sensor contained in a metal sheath, and it is inserted into the surrogate fuel rod whose thermal conductivity is to be measured. The thermal conductivity is calculated from the power applied to the heating element, and the temperature rise detected in the sample. Needle probes were designed and fabricated using materials recommended for in-pile application. Scoping room-temperature values obtained using the needle probe method were within acceptable accuracies defined by the ASTM needle probe reference standard. Temperature-dependent values were within 2% of values for the well-characterized ASTM recommended reference material, fused silica. A measurement uncertainty under 6% was calculated for the needle probe method. As a result of this study, the needle probe method was selected for additional testing at the Idaho National Laboratory for anticipated testing in Materials Test Reactors. This would result in the first-ever transient in-pile thermal conductivity sensor.

title: Commitment, Rituals, and Initiator Tendency in Married Couples
Creators: name: Bakker, April
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to examine and make explicit the relationships between commitment, rituals, and initiator tendency. Past research and theory suggests that these ideas are related. Two research questions guided the study: (1) How are initiator tendency and the number of rituals a couple participates in related to the commitment style?, and (2) How are initiator tendency and the meaningfulness of rituals related to commitment style? Data were obtained from 55 couples who completed a questionnaire to measure participation and meaningfulness of rituals, initiator tendency, and commitment. Final analyses were performed with only 39 of these couples as 16 newlywed couples were removed from the sample. Results suggested a significant relationship for meaningfulness of connection rituals with both personal commitment and moral commitment for the husbands in the study. A relationship was also found between initiator tendency and personal commitment for both husbands and wives, while only the wives showed a negative relationship between initiator tendency and constraint commitment. Implications for marriage and family therapy were presented and the limitations of the study were also discussed.

description: We investigate the physics of coherent quantum phase slips in two distinct circuits containing small Josephson junctions: (i) a single junction embedded in an inductive environment and (ii) a long chain of junctions. Starting from the standard Josephson Hamiltonian, the single junction circuit can be analyzed using quasi-classical methods; we formulate the conditions under which the resulting quasi-charge dynamics is exactly dual to the usual phase dynamics associated with Josephson tunneling. For the chain we use the fact that its collective behavior can be characterized by one variable: the number $m$ of quantum phase slips present on it. We conclude that the dynamics of the conjugate quasi-charge is again exactly dual to the standard phase dynamics of a single Josephson junction. In both cases we elucidate the role of the inductance, essential to obtain exact duality. These conclusions have profound consequences for the behavior of single junctions and chains under microwave irradiation. Since both systems are governed by a model exactly dual to the standard resistively and capacitively shunted junction model, we expect the appearance of current-Shapiro steps. We numerically calculate the corresponding current-voltage characteristics in a wide range of parameters. Our results are of interest in view of a metrological current standard.
title: Parents as Partners in Kindergarten and Second Grade Literacy Instruction: A Qualitative Inquiry into Student-Authored Traveling Books
Creators: name: Little, Dorothy C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The purpose of this research was to study a sociocognitive “student/parent/peer authoring community” called Traveling Books (TBks) in kindergarten and second grade in a public elementary school setting. TBks are teacher-made vehicles for involving parents in peer-based literacy environments. The study was based on Epstein's theory that increasing overlap of students' spheres of influence, home, school, and community, creates a greater likelihood that children will learn what the parents want them to learn. The aim was to locate essential elements that triggered learning processes to occur and to discover research-based fundamentals still missing from TBks. This qualitative inquiry incorporated the framework of Dr. Elliot Eisner‘s Educational Criticism with five distinctive dimensions (intentional, structural, curricular, pedagogical, and evaluative) to guide the analysis of TBk procedures. A purposive sample of six Utah teachers from rural and inner city classrooms participated with 251 students in 12 groups for 2½ years. Data were gathered from interviews, classroom observations, surveys, and artifacts. My role was researcher and participant/observer. What I found was that motivation for authoring increased when parents (or parent figures) contributed simple family knowledge to the TBks. Most parents indicated that their child‘s “favorite” TBks were those that had required the most parent involvement. A few parents, however, described frustration with their role in facilitating TBks with their child. Seven vignettes described the complex and subtle qualities found in TBk sociocognitive environments and its effect on struggling, average, gifted, and behaviorally handicapped children, and longitudinal effects on former students. Despite increased commitments, most teachers reported a lighter workload overall using TBks to augment their existing literacy programs. A sense of urgency to proceed with internet development for TBk facilitation was expressed. Options were explored for developing internet assisted training for teachers and parents. Twelve essential elements were identified and a TBks instructional model was developed. A clearer understanding of the educational philosophy behind TBks resulted in the design of a prototype tool to engage parents in TBks through interactive home writing. This study raised important questions about characteristics of optimal support for facilitating TBks and about fundamentals still missing for broader implementation.

description: Molecules in space are synthesized via a large variety of gas-phase reactions, and reactions on dust-grain surfaces, where the surface acts as a catalyst. Especially, saturated, hydrogen-rich molecules are formed through surface chemistry. Astrochemical models have developed over the decades to understand the molecular processes in the interstellar medium, taking into account grain surface chemistry. However, essential input information for gas-grain models, such as binding energies of molecules to the surface, have been derived experimentally only for a handful of species, leaving hundreds of species with highly uncertain estimates. Moreover, some fundamental processes are not well enough constrained to implement these into the models. The proceedings gives three examples how computational chemistry techniques can help answer fundamental questions regarding grain surface chemistry.

title: Genomic Perspectives on Evolution in Bracken Fern
Creators: name: Der, Joshua P
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2010

description: The fern genus Pteridium comprises a number of closely related species distributed throughout the world. Collectively they are called bracken ferns and have historically been treated as a single species, Pteridium aquilinum. Bracken is notorious as a toxic weed that colonizes open fields and poisons livestock. Bracken is also easily cultured and has become one of the most intensively studied ferns. Bracken has been used as a model system for the study of the fern life cycle, fern gametophyte development, the pheromonal mechanism of sex determination, toxicology, invasion ecology, and climate change. This dissertation places bracken within a global evolutionary perspective and establishes bracken as an emerging system for evolutionary genomics in ferns. Bracken samples from around the world were examined for chloroplast DNA variation to infer historical phylogenetic and biogeographic evolutionary events. New high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies and bioinformatic approaches were used to determine the complete chloroplast genome sequence in bracken, to identify novel RNA editing sites in chloroplast transcripts, and to identify gene sequences that are expressed in the gametophyte stage of the fern life cycle. These data represent an important genomic resource in ferns and were examined within a functional and evolutionary perspective. Several novel approaches and analyses were developed in the course of this research. Results presented in this dissertation provide novel insights into fern biology and land plant evolution.
Density functional approach to finite temperature nuclear properties and the role of a momentum dependent isovector interaction

description: Using a density functional approach based on a Skyrme interaction, thermodynamic properties of finite nuclei are investigated at non-zero temperture. The role of a momentum dependent isovector term is now studied besides volume, symmetry, surface and Coulomb effects. Various features associated with both mechanical and chemical instability and the liquid-gas coexistence curve are sensitive to the Skyrme interaction. The separated effects of the isoscalar term and the isovector term of momentum dependent interaction are studied for a modified SKM($m^*=m$) interaction. The frequently used Skyrme interaction SLy4 is one of the cases considered and is shown to have better features for neutron star studies due to a larger symmetry energy.

description: We derive theoretically an exact relation between Tan's universal contact and the photo-excitation rate of a strongly interacting Fermi gas, in the case of optically transferring fermionic pairs to a more tightly bound molecular state. Our deviation generalizes the relation between Tan's contact and the closed-channel molecular fraction found earlier by Werner, Tarruell and Castin in Eur. Phys. J. B \textbf{68}, 401 (2009). We use the relation to understand the recent low-temperature photo-excitation measurement in a strongly interacting $^{6}$Li Fermi gas {[}Liu \textit{et al.}, arXiv:1903.12321{]} and show that there is a reasonable agreement between theory and experiment close to the unitary limit. We propose that our relation can be applied to accurately measure Tan's contact coefficient at finite temperature in future experiments.

description: We report on submillimetre bolometer observations of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5--3754 using the LABOCA bolometer array on the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) Telescope. No cold dust continuum emission peak at the position of RX J1856.5--3754 was detected. The 3 sigma flux density upper limit of 5 mJy translates into a cold dust mass limit of a few earth masses. We use the new submillimetre limit, together with a previously obtained H-band limit, to constrain the presence of a gaseous, circumpulsar disc. Adopting a simple irradiated-disc model, we obtain a mass accretion limit of dM/dt less than 10^{14} g/s, and a maximum outer disc radius of around 10^{14} cm. By examining the projected proper motion of RX J1856.5--3754, we speculate about a possible encounter of the neutron star with a dense fragment of the CrA molecular cloud a few thousand years ago.
