title: The Effects of a Structured Intervention Program on Identity and Divorce Adjustment
Creators: name: Wentz, Rodger Trent
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: The purpose of this research was to determine if a structured intervention program could assist individuals in adjusting to some of the disruption associated with divorce. A secondary purpose was to determine if identity status would mediate the effects of the intervention program upon divorce adjustment. The components of the intervention program were modeled on previous research. It was hypothesized that individuals participating in a structured treatment program would manifest greater gains in areas of divorce adjustment than the control group. However, results show that while there was greater gain for the experimental group than the control group in several areas, such gain was not a level of significance sufficient to support the primary hypothesis. In addition, support was not generated for the mediational role of identity. Indeed, identity appeared as a rather stable construct, showing very little change from treatment effects and not seeming to influence treatment outcome. It was found that those individuals high in identity status reported less adjustment problems from the divorce than those individuals with low identity statuses. However, this was not a factor of treatment with the control group reporting the same finding. Implications for future research suggest studies in divorce adjustment focus on symptomology and problems in day-to-day living, with objective measuring devices rather than the subjective self-report instruments currently in use. Research on identity status as it relates to divorce adjustment should be longitudinal in nature tracking identity prior to divorce, and allowing for longer intervention periods.
title: A Study of the Effect of a Child's Physical Attractiveness upon Verbal Scoring of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) and upon Personality Attributions
Creators: name: Wheeler, Paula Theisler
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate possible examiner bias in scoring the Verbal subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Revised) due to the level of facial attractiveness of the child. Sex of the child and sex of the research subject were also included as independent variables. No main effect for attractiveness or sex x attractiveness interactions were found. Thus, little evidence emerged to suggest attractiveness stereotyping effects in an intelligence testing context. However, female children received significantly higher Comprehension and total Verbal scores than did male children. In addition, while male subjects did not provide differential Verbal scores for male and female children, female subjects tended to be biased toward female children, regardless of attractiveness level. A secondary goal of this study was to determine if the research subjects differentially attributed positive characteristics to attractive versus unattractive children. Indeed, it was empirically established that, in this testing environment, adults attributed more positive personality and social characteristics to attractive than unattractive children. Implications for clinicians/diagnosticians are discussed. It is suggested that future research attempt to delineate a continuum of diagnostic measures wherein one pole represents objective measures with little risk of bias and the other pole is the extreme of subjective instruments with high resk of examiner bias.

title: Habit Reversal Treatment of Bulimia Nervosa
Creators: name: Small, Ken
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: Although several writers have emphasized the habit-like characteristics of bulimia nervosa, no study has investigated the extent to which bulimia responds to treatment specifically for habit disorders. Habit reversal is a general treatment plan which teaches individuals to regain lost awareness of all aspects of a habit. The habit is then interrupted at the earliest movement in the chain by a physically competing response. Habit reversal (Azrin & Nunn, 1973) has been effective in treating other habits (e.g., stuttering, tics, bruxism). In the present study, habit reversal was adapted for the treatment of bulimia.
In response to newspaper advertisements, ten females (aged 21-26) with a minimum of two binges/week were included in the study. Bingeing and vomiting ranged from .5/day to 3.57/day during baseline; duration of the disorder ranged from one to eight years. In a multiple-baseline, across-subjects design, subjects were randomly assigned to begin treatment following 14 days of baseline data collection. Subjects self-monitored and reported daily binge eating, vomiting, fasting and laxative use. Daily social contacts and athletic activities were self-monitored and reported as secondary dependent measures. A blood chemistry analysis to assess metabolic functioning, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Symptom Checklist 90-Revised (SCL-90R) were administered pre- and post-treatment.
Two subjects reported cessation of bulimic episodes during baseline data collection apparently as a result of self-monitoring and frequent phone contacts. A rapid and substantial reduction in the target behaviors for the subjects who received treatment was reported following presentation of habit reversal (mean bingeing reduction=66.7%; mean vomiting reduction=52.0%). As reports of bingeing and vomiting decreased, concomitant increase in reported social contacts and athletic activities was observed in five of seven subjects without treatment for social behavior. Scores on the BDI and SCL-90 R did not change as a function of treatment. However, the self-reported frequency of binge eating during treatment correlated positively with psychopathology (r=.95, p
title: The Influence of Threatened State Preemption on City Council Voting Behavior and Municipal Broadband
Creators: name: Corbridge, Dillon P
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Since the progressive era, American cities have generally expanded their authority in policymaking and service provision. State governments have at times acted to preempt city authority on particular points of policy, but it is unclear whether the threat of this action inspires caution in the decision making of city leaders. The results of an experimental survey distributed to elected city officials across the United States show that a perceived threat of preemption does not significantly discourage city leaders in supporting a proposed broadband internet service provision. These results suggest that political pressure in the form of preemption is not persuasive to city leaders, and that local representational interests are likely more influential on municipal government.

description: We have studied neutron-rich calcium isotopes in terms of the shell model employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The short-range repulsion of the potential is renormalized by way of the V-low-k approach. The calculated results are in very good agreement with the available experimental data, thus supporting our predictions for the hitherto unknown spectra of 53-56Ca nuclei. In this context, the possible existence of an N=34 shell closure is discussed.

title: Contextual Control of Stimulus Equivalence with Preschool Children
Creators: name: Green, M. Regina
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1986

description: This research asked whether a contextual stimulus in a visual conditional discrimination task controlled membership in classes of stimuli related hierarchically. Six experiments with nonreading preschool children posed the following question:
Does a stimulus juxtaposed with a conditional discrimination task control relations among the stimuli involved in the task? In Experiments I and II, printed instance or concept words were juxtaposed with conditional discrimination tasks involving symbols. Results for eight of nine children demonstrated neither conditional nor equivalence relations between words and symbols.
Would conditional discrimination training establish classes of visual stimuli composed of selectively nonequivalent subsets? In Experiment III, subjects from the first two experiments were taught conditional relations, then tested for stimulus class development. Printed words that could have been related transitively were not, apparently due to interference by identical letters in certain words, so no stimulus classes developed.
Would the equivalence relations sought in Experiment III develop without a history where printed words were unnecessary to conditional discrimination tasks? For Experiment IV-A, one experimentally naive child was taught the same conditional relations as Experiment III subjects. Two stimulus classes emerged, each containing two subsets that were selectively nonequivalent depending upon trial context.
Are direct or transitive stimulus relations more likely to control responding? In experiment IV-B, the subject from Experiment IV-A expressed more direct than transitive relations on modified matching trials.
Would interference by identical elements in words be precluded by training conditional relations among words directly? One child in Experiment V was taught conditional relations between concept words and instance words, and instance words and symbols. Results suggested that stimulus class development, which would have answered the question affirmatively, had begun but was incomplete.
Would providing auditory labels for some printed words preclude interference by identical elements, allowing nonidentical words to be related transitively? In Experiment VI, one child was taught auditory labels for selected printed words, followed by the same visual conditional discrimination training provided in Experiment III. Two stimulus classes developed, requiring transitive and symmetric relations among printed words.

From the calculated results, we analyze the topological nature of Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$, and found the followings: (1) pure Bi crystal is topologically trivial; (2) topologically non-trivial phase can be realized by reducing the strength of SOC via Sb doping; (3) the indirect bulk band gap, which is crucial to realize the true bulk insulating phase, can be enhanced by uniaxial pressure along c axis. (4) The calculated surface states can be compared with experimental results, which confirms the topological nature; (5) We predict the spin-resolved Fermi surfaces and showed the vortex structures, which should be examined by future experiments.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The initial work toward the construction of the basic skeleton of verticine (88) and related Veratrum alkaloids is described. Hecogenin (acetate) (115) was converted by a known method to rockogenin 12-methanesulfonate 3-pivalate (118), which gave in excellent yield 3β-pivaloyloxy-C-nor-D-homo-(25R)-5α,12α-spirst-13(18)-en (119b). Hydroboration of the 13(18) double bond is discussed with respect to the stereochemistry of the major product, namely 13β-hydroxymethyl-C-nor-D-homo-18-nor-(25R)-5α,12α -spirstan-3β-ol (121). The configuration at C-13 of (121) was reversed by means of epimerization of the aldehyde intermediate (148). 3β-Acetoxy-13α-acetoxymethyl-C-nor-D-homo-18-nor-5α,12α-spirostan (153) was prepared from (148) and the performic acid degradation of the spiroketal side chain was investigated The C₂₁ pregnajervane ketone, namely 3β-acetoxy-13α-acetoxymethyl-18-nor-12α-pregnajervan-20-one (196) was obtained from the diacetate (153) with considerable difficulty. The difficulty was chiefly associated with selective hydrolysis of the performic acid oxidation product. Finally the ketone (196) was coupled with 2-lithio-5-methylpyridine. The coupling product was characterized after acetylation by n.m.r. and mass spectroscopy as 3β,18-diacetoxy-20-hydroxy-22,23,24,25,26-N-hexadehydro-5α,13β(H) , 17α(H)-veratranine (201).
Palaeozoic sedimentation, tectonics and mineralisation in the Mt. Lyell area (Tasmania) with especial reference to the origin and economic significance of the Lyell schists
Creators: name: Solomon, M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this thesis is to present the writer's interpretation of the geology of the Queenstown area and to describe the nature and origin of the Lyell Schists, with a view to assisting in any general search for mineralisation on the West Coast of Tasmania and also to assisting in more localised exploration for copper orebodies in mineralised areas. The study has consisted of both regional and detailed field mapping with some laboratory work. Earlier workers in the Queenstown area have disagreed violently on general interpretations and particularly on the Lyell Schists, mainly because the theories have been based entirely on either restricted detailed work or generalised reconaissance work. For the first time, both regional and detailed mapping have been done as units of an overall examination and the two together have thrown new light on the geological picture. As will be shown later, mineralisation and Lyell Schist formation took place during the Devonian Tabberabberan Orogeny; thus the Mesozoic and later geology is of little significance from an economic point of view and will be presented in summary form. The area originally studied is that part of the West Coast Range south of Mt. Sedgwick (see Fig. 1), involving about 300 sq. miles of rugged terrain. This was mapped using aerial photographs of 1 inch = 20 chains scale (or 4 inches = 1 mile) and completion of this work was followed by detailed mapping of the Lyell mine areas in company with the Chief Geologist of the Mt. Lyell Mining and Railway Company. This detailed mapping was done on a scale of 1 inch = 100 ft. and involved an area of a little over 5 sq. miles centred on the West Lyell Open Cut. Further evidence has been brought in from areas further afield that have been mapped by the writer. These are mainly south and west of the West Coast Range, including the Southern Ocean coast, from Cape Sorell to High Rocky Point and the D'Aguilar Range. The general geological picture of this part of the West Coast and the area mapped in more detail is shown in Fig. 2; most of the information relating to the area west of the West Coast Range was supplied by the Hydro-Electric Commission of Tasmania. In conjunction with the field work, over 200 thin sections were made and examined by the writer.
title: Effects of Changing Environments on Survival of a Widely Distributed Ungulate
Creators: name: Sims, S Andrew
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Widely distributed species are experiencing a continual pattern of range shifts due to anthropogenic expansion and climate change, forcing these species into novel environments and out of critical habitat. The ability to estimate current and forecasted states of demographic parameters of species distributed along a gradient of environments is becoming increasingly important in a time of large-scale environmental change. Consulting models that provide temporally relevant estimates of population dynamics based on the latest realizations of environmental conditions can allow for informed, quick and decisive conservation and management actions. Modelling the drivers of demography across a wide range of environmental conditions will provide a more comprehensive understanding of how species will respond to novel environments. In this study we provide an example of relating seasonal-environmental variables to survival in a widely distributed ungulate species. We used a mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) survival dataset collected in Utah with seven sites distributed across the multiple ecoregions of the state, allowing for the elucidation of relationships across a variety of environmental conditions. Multivariate analyses predicting survival of young and adult females were performed using geographic location, elevation, and seasonal satellite-derived primary productivity data and weather variables. We developed frameworks for estimating past and current states of survival and predicting short-term (sub-year) forecasts of survival. Furthermore, we investigated adaptive modelling techniques for increasing the certainty of the forecasted predictions of survival. We found that increased winter precipitation had a negative effect on survival across the state. Survival was lower in the northern region of the state and in higher elevations. Furthermore, measures of summer primary productivity had a positive relationship with survival. Lastly, our adaptive modelling demonstration shows that uncertainty of forecasted survival predictions can be reduced with the addition of data. This study provides a framework for developing models that will provide invaluable information to managers in a time of large-scale environmental change.

description: Microwave optomechanical circuits have been demonstrated to be powerful tools for both exploring fundamental physics of macroscopic mechanical oscillators, as well as being promising candidates for on-chip quantum-limited microwave devices. In most experiments so far, the mechanical oscillator is either used as a passive element and its displacement is detected using the superconducting cavity, or manipulated by intracavity fields. Here, we explore the possibility to directly and parametrically manipulate the mechanical nanobeam resonator of a cavity electromechanical system, which provides additional functionality to the toolbox of microwave optomechanics. In addition to using the cavity as an interferometer to detect parametrically modulated mechanical displacement and squeezed thermomechanical motion, we demonstrate that this approach can realize a phase-sensitive parametric amplifier for intracavity microwave photons. Future perspectives of optomechanical systems with a parametrically driven mechanical oscillator include exotic bath engineering with negative effective photon temperatures, or systems with enhanced optomechanical nonlinearities.

description: One-loop unitarized Chiral Perturbation Theory (UChPT) calculations, suggest a different Nc behaviour for the sigma or f_0(600) and rho(770) mesons: while the rho meson becomes narrower with Nc, as is expected for a q-qbar meson, the sigma becomes broader, and its contribution to the total cross section is less and less important. On the other hand, local duality requires a cancellation between the sigma and rho amplitudes, but if there is a different Nc behaviour for them, there is a possible contradiction between the Inverse Amplitude Method (IAM) and local duality for large Nc. However, next to next to leading order UChPT calculations suggested a subdominant q-qbar component for the sigma with a mass around 1.2 GeV. In this work, we show that this subdominant q-qbar component is indeed needed to ensure local duality.

Abstract:

In total 10 Lysimeter were set up at SLU in Sweden to look into the transport behaviour of PFAS in the unsaturated zone with changing climate and to test the efficiency of novel, carbon sequestering biochars for PFAS stabilization. The main conclusions were, that PFAS contaminated hot spots are vulnarable to a changing rainfall and irrigation events. Furthermore sludge derived biochar showed promising results in lowering leachate of PFAS from contaminated soil and can be a more sustainable solution for soil remediation than PAC.
title: The Effects of Prosocial and Aggressive Videogames on Children's Donating and Helping
Creators: name: Chambers, John H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effects of prosocial videogames, played both singly and cooperatively, and aggressive videogames, played both singly and competitively, on children's prosocial behavior. Eighty boys and 80 girls, half third and fourth graders, and half seventh and eighth graders, were randomly assigned to one of five conditions. In a control condition, children answered questions about videogame experience and enjoyment. In two of the treatment conditions, children played a videogame with prosocial content (a human-like fantasy character rescuing another from danger); half of the children played this game singly, while the other half played cooperatively. In the other two conditions, children played an aggressive videogame (stylized boxing), with half of the children playing singly and the other half competing. Following exposure to one of these conditions, each child's game score, game enjoyment rating, level of donating, and level of helping were measured.
The results of a three-way analysis of variance (sex x grade x treatment) on donating yielded significant effects for age, F(1, 140) = 34.12, p =
Although prosocial videogame play did not increase prosocial responding, aggressive videogame play clearly suppressed this behavior. The failure of the prosocial condition to accelerate donating and helping might be due to the relatively brief exposure used in this study (10 minutes) and/or to the particular prosocial videogame utilized. The failure of the cooperative and competitive game modes to affect prosocial behavior may have been due to the age of the children or to the possibly aversive effects of the type of cooperation required.

Enthalpy and the Mechanics of AdS Black Holes

description: We present geometric derivations of the Smarr formula for static AdS black holes and an expanded first law that includes variations in the cosmological constant. These two results are further related by a scaling argument based on Euler's theorem. The key new ingredient in the constructions is a two-form potential for the static Killing field. Surface integrals of the Killing potential determine the coefficient of the variation of the cosmological constant in the first law. This coefficient is proportional to a finite, effective volume for the region outside the AdS black hole horizon, which can also be interpreted as minus the volume excluded from a spatial slice by the black hole horizon. This effective volume also contributes to the Smarr formula. Since the cosmological constant is naturally thought of as a pressure, the new term in the first law has the form of effective volume times change in pressure that arises in the variation of the enthalpy in classical thermodynamics. This and related arguments suggest that the mass of an AdS black hole should be interpreted as the enthalpy of the spacetime.

Finite-Temperature Fidelity-Metric Approach to the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model

description: The fidelity metric has recently been proposed as a useful and elegant approach to identify and characterize both quantum and classical phase transitions. We study this metric on the manifold of thermal states for the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model. For the isotropic LMG model, we find that the metric reduces to a Fisher-Rao metric, reflecting an underlying classical probability distribution. Furthermore, this metric can be expressed in terms of derivatives of the free energy, indicating a relation to Ruppeiner geometry. This allows us to obtain exact expressions for the (suitably rescaled) metric in the thermodynamic limit. The phase transition of the isotropic LMG model is signalled by a degeneracy of this (improper) metric in the paramagnetic phase. Due to the integrability of the isotropic LMG model, ground state level crossings occur, leading to an ill-defined fidelity metric at zero temperature.

Urban transport funding and pricing
Creators: name: Starrs, M M
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The thesis contains six chapters, with this Introduction being the first. The second describes the existing arrangements for transport funding which apply to the State government in South Australia. All modes and both urban and rural expenditure are included in the description. The accounts of authorities and departments are such that it is difficult to dissect expenditures and revenues for the parts considered in this thesis. An estimate is made indicating that urban arterial roads and urban public transport services account for approximately 50% of State government transport expenditure. The third chapter is a review of relevant literature. The pricing and investment models are taken from the literature (with same modification) and applied in Adelaide. The application of the models and the pricing and service level results are described in Chapter 4. The input data to the models are described in the four Appendices. The model results are then translated into annual funding levels for roads and public transport services. These funding levels are presented and compared with existing expenditures and revenues in Chapter 5. Finally, weaknesses in and qualifications to the data and model formulation are discussed in Chapter 6.
The Dust cloud around the White Dwarf G 29-38. 2. Spectrum from 5-40 microns and mid-infrared variability

description: We model the mineralogy and distribution of dust around the white dwarf G29-39 using the infrared spectrum from 1-35 microns and combining a wide range of materials based on spectral studies of comets and debris disks. In order of their contribution to the mid-infrared emission, the most abundant minerals for G29-38 are amorphous carbon, amorphous and crystalline silicates, water ice, and metal sulfides. The amorphous C can be equivalently replaced by other materials (like metallic Fe) with featureless infrared spectra. The best-fitting crystalline silicate is Fe-rich pyroxene. In order to absorb enough starlight to power the observed emission, the disk must either be much thinner than the stellar radius (so that it can be heated from above and below) or it must have an opening angle wider than 2 degrees. A `moderately optically thick' torus model with mass 2x10^19 g fits the spectrum well. A physically thin (less than the white dwarf radius) and optically thick disk can contribute to the near-infrared continuum only; such a disk cannot explain the longer-wavelength continuum or strong silicate features. The silicate composition contains minerals found from cometary spectra and meteorites, but Fe-rich pyroxene is more abundant than enstatite (Mg-rich pyroxene) or forsterite (Mg-rich olivine) in G29-38, in contrast to what is found in most comet or meteorite mineralogies. Enstatite meteorites may be the most similar solar system materials to the G29-38 dust. Finally, we suggest the surviving core of a `hot jupiter' as an alternative (neither cometary nor asteroidal) origin for the debris, though further theoretical work is needed to determine if this hypothesis is viable.

pi^0 Transverse Single-Spin Asymmetries at eta=4.1 in p+p Collisions at sqrt{s}=200 GeV

description: Large transverse single-spin asymmetries, A_{N}, have been observed in forward hadron production at RHIC. STAR has reported precision measurements of the x_{F}-p_{T} dependence of A_{N} for forward pi^0 production. Contrary to expectation, the asymmetry does not fall with p_{T}. However, questions remain about the trend at the lower end of the studied range, p_{T}~1 GeV/c. Analysis of data from the 2008 RHIC run has extended the pi^0 data in the x_{F} > 0.4, low p_{T} region. Preliminary results are reported.

The legacy
Creators: name: Stary, ME
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This project began by questioning the symbolism and allegorical nature of the art of a select group of Australian artists, either employed or conscripted by the Australian Military Forces. The primary aspect of my research is to demonstrate how Australian democracy is potentially at risk through inflexible political and religious dogma. A recognition of a duty to the greater community of our leaders, political and military, to ensure accuracy and truth in all aspects of public training and recording occurred as a direct result of inheriting the military service books of my maternal grandfather and uncle. When the books contained errors I became concerned for the ethical and moral accountability of the senior officers of the military. Whilst acknowledging the importance of the services my perception of its cultural intransigence to the individual led to a desire to create an installation in the attic of my home. This space reinforces how the political eventually cannot be separated from the personal. I have chosen textiles as my primary medium due to their decorative and feminine connotations. Chairs made by my grandfather prior to his death in 1960 consolidate the personal connection within the work. My exegesis includes an historical interpretation of a work of art commissioned in 1566, various examples of the resistance to educating the masses together with an overview of a theory of ethics and morals. As situations of unethical behaviour within the military system is a primary concern I reviewed an example of unprincipled war-time behaviour by the Japanese on Bangka Island in World War II as well as a peace-time situation aboard an Australian naval cruiser. During the research process I visited several military facilities, including the Launceston army barracks, the Canberra War Memorial, Hobart's Anglesea Barracks, The Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne and several war cemeteries, however, my research is presented from the perspective of an extended family member of former serving soldiers. In summary, I am concerned history is at risk of repeating itself unless an awareness of a potentially new allegorical use of military art is ignored.

description: The Australian Research Data Commons is driving transformational change in the research data ecosystem, enabling researchers to conduct world class data-intensive research. One interconnected component of this ecosystem is skills development/uplift, which is critical to the Commons and its purpose of providing Australian researchers with a competitive advantage through data. In this presentation, Kathryn Unsworth introduces the ARDC Skills Landscape. The Landscape is a first step in developing a national skills framework to enable a coordinated and cohesive approach to skills development across the Australian eResearch sector. It is also a first step towards helping to analyse current approaches in data training to identify:
 - Siloed skills initiatives, and finding ways to build partnerships and improve collaboration
 - Skills deficits, and working to address the gaps in data skills
 - Areas of skills development for investment by skills stakeholders like universities, research organisations, skills and training service providers, ARDC, etc.
