Transannular cyclisations ot 6-substituted cyclodecynes and attempted synthesis of samanine
Creators: name: Rao, R. Balaji
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Part I The transannular cyclisation reaction of cyclodecyn-6-one (21), cyclodecyn-6-ol (38) and 6-methyl cyclodecyn-6-ol (39) were investigated, with the view of synthesising bicycle[5.3.0] decane system ( 1 ). Compound 21 when treated with several proton acids in a variety of solvents ranging in polarity from hexane to methanol, yielded only octalin, which is a bicyclo[4.4. 0] decane system ( 2 ) . Treatment of 21 with lithium in ammonia-THF followed by oxidation, yielded Δ[sup 1,7]bicycle[5.3.0] decane-2-one (29) in only 4% yield. The major product was Δ[sup 1,6]bicycle[4.4.0] decan-2-one (19). Similarly boron trifluoride etherate in methelene chloride reacted with 21 to yield only 19. Compound 38, on treatment with hydrochloric acid in methanol yielded only decanone-2. Treatment of 39 with hydrochloric acid in methanol yielded a mixture of two compounds having systems 1 and 2. Again the product having system 2 was the major product. Treatment of 38 as well as 39 with boron trifluoride etherate in methylene chloride yielded a fluoroolefin. Through spectral analysis and chemical degradation studies, the compounds were established as having system 2. A mechanism is proposed to rationalise the preponderance of system 2 in all these reactions. Part II A new route for the synthesis of salamander alkaloid samanine ( 1 ) was attempted. Thus testosterone ( 10 ) was converted to 17 β-acetoxy-2-oxo-2,3-seco-5 β-androstane-3-nitrile ( 48 ) through the method of K. Paisley. Reduction of the aldehyde to the alcohol followed by tosylation yielded 17 β-acetoxy-3-cyano-2,3-seco-5 β-androstane-2-p-toluenesulphonate ( 53 ). The nitrile and the acetate moieties were selectively reduced with diborane and the product thus obtained was treated with 10% excess of acetic anhydride in pyridine to yield 17-hydroxy samane-N-acetate ( 57 ), in about 30% yield. A mechanism is proposed for this cyclisation. In a similar way, treatment of the diborane reduction product with benzoic anhydride yielded the corresponding N-benzoate ( 72 ). Compound 57 was oxidised to 17-oxosamanine-N-acetate ( 77 ), which was then converted to the 16-oximino-17-oxcsanianine-N-acetate ( 78 ). Attempts to remove the C-17 oxygen from 78 were unsuccessful. Oxidation of 72, followed by treatment with benzaldehyde and base yielded the corresponding 16-benzylidene-17-oxosamanine-N-benzoate 74. Again attempts to remove the 17-oxo group failed.
title: Immunophenotyping of Lymphoid Cells in Autism
Creators: name: Yonk, L. Jeanne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1991

description: Research into the cause of autism continues without any clear-cut answers. However, recent studies suggest that abnormalities of the immune system are associated with this disorder and autism results from failure of the immune system to regulate itself. Proper immune regulation requires that the host have the appropriate number and percentage of each population of lymphocytes and monocytes. These populations can be distinguished from one another with monoclonal antibodies that react with unique protein structures on the cell surface designated as the "cluster of differentiation" (CD) antigens.
This investigation studied the possibility that the immune abnormalities seen in autism are due to a change in the lymphocytes or monocytes in the subjects with autism . The autistic subjects as compared to age- and sex-matched control subjects exhibited several changes in their cell populations. These included a depression of total lymphocytes, CD2+ (total T cells), CD4+ (helper T cells), and CD4+CD45RA+ (the antigen-inexperienced, suppressor inducer subset of helper T cells).
Also analyzed were the siblings of the autistic subjects. A reduced percentage of CD4+ cells was seen in the male siblings as compared to unrelated males. Analyses also compared the cells of mothers and fathers of the autistic subjects with controls of mothers and fathers of normal children. No differences were seen in any of the markers used.
Findings in the literature show an increase in memory cells and a decrease in naive cells as a function of age. The data gathered in these experiments uphold this concept and are consistent with the idea that CD45RA and CDw29 are maturational states of helper T cells.
The quantitation of different immune markers on lymphoid cells seems to have been useful in the further characterization and investigation of the immune mechanism relevant to the syndrome of autism. Differences in some of the cell types were observed and may account for some of the immune abnormalities seen in autism. These differences may be the result or the cause of the syndrome. Further investigation seems necessary before a direct pathological link can be found between the body's immunity and autism.

description: In this paper we report calculations of the relativistic corrections to transition frequencies (q factors) of Yb II for the transitions from the odd-parity states to the metastable state $4f^{13}6s^2 ^2F_{7/2}^o$. These transitions are of particular interest experimentally since they possess some of the largest q factors calculated to date and the $^2F_{7/2}^o$ state can be prepared with high efficiency. This makes Yb II a very attractive candidate for the laboratory search for variation of the fine-structure constant alpha.

Resistance and engagement : a defence of science fiction for the adolescent student
Creators: name: Soloduch, A
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The object of this dissertation is to argue the value of the literary genre, science fiction, in the education of adolescents. Through the notions of resistance and engagement, science fiction is used to focus a critique of traditional secondary school curricula which, it is argued, no longer effectively transmit useful or desirable features of our culture. Science fiction narratives are relatively simple on a literary level and contain satisfying plots. Those identified in this dissertation as 'didactive', however, also entertain serious and provocative theoretical considerations. By taking sensitive elements from the 'thickness' of daily life, and distancing them in fictional form through the techniques of 'estrangement', these stories can stimulate readers to sustained reflection on the meaning and purpose of life and to the construction of possible futures for themselves and the society they live in. Science fiction's particular use of 'cognitive estrangement' can operate to initiate speculation and debate in many disciplines, giving rise to forms of language in response whicn belong in the domains of politics and social organization. The study of this 'literature of ideas' can serve to heighten individual students' awareness of the powers of persuasive argument. The dissertation is in three parts: Part 1 explores science fiction with a view to identifying the principal opportunities offered and the demands made on adolescent readers. Through closer textual analysis, Part 2 defends certain science fiction texts on moral, intellectual, emotional and general developmental grounds. Criteria are offered for the evaluation of works within the genre in terms of their contribution to the development of valued educational capabilities. The study of science fiction is placed in the context of adolescents' wider personal and cultural definitions and experiences. Part 3 outlines some operating principles for a program of science fiction in the secondary school in the light of the considerations discussed above. The invitations to speculation in seriously extrapolative and propositional science fiction narratives are shown to promote an openness and reflexivity in teaching approaches and a wide range of possible student responses, with important implications for general educational theory and practice.

title: Expert System Technology and Concept Instruction: Training Educators to Accurately Classify Learning Disabled Students
Creators: name: Prater, Mary Anne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: Many learning disabled student being served by the public school systems have been inaccurately classified. Training and research efforts are needed to assist members of the multidisciplinary team in making more accurate learning disabilities classification decisions.
CLASS.LD2, a computer-based expert system, was designed to assist multidisciplinary teams by providing second-opinion advice regarding the appropriateness of a learning disabilities classification for individual student cases. The existing expert system, CLASS.LD2, was combined with strategies for effective concept instruction to create an instructional package entitled LO.Trainer.
The purpose of this study was (a) to develop a computer-based instructional package combining expert system technology and strategies for effective concept instruction and (b) to test the effectiveness of the instructional package against another system application. The training application against which the instructional package was compared consisted of users running consultations with the original expert system.
Of specific interest was (a) the effectiveness of both training programs across experienced and inexperienced teachers, (b) the performance of the experienced as compared with the inexperienced teachers regardless of the training program used, (c) whether an interaction between level of experience and training program occurred, ( d) which training program was more effective for the experienced teachers, and (e) which training program was more effective for the inexperienced teachers.
Ninety-seven students from three universities served as subjects and were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups. Subjects who completed the LO.Trainer materials scored statistically (p < .05) and educationally higher (SMD = + 0.96) on the posttest than those who ran CLASS.LD2 consultations. Statistical and educational significance were al so obtained across the experienced and inexperienced subjects when considered alone. An interaction, although not statistically significant (p < .05), was obtained between group and experience level.
Although there exist many similarities between the processes of building expert systems and concept analysis, incorporating both to develop an effective training tool had not previously been demonstrated. Results of this study indicated that the two fields, successfully combined, can create an effective and efficient training tool.

description: Distributed databases are critical infrastructures for today's large-scale software systems, making effective failure management essential to ensure software availability. However, existing approaches often overlook the role distinctions within distributed databases and rely on small-scale models with limited generalization capabilities. In this paper, we conduct a preliminary empirical study to emphasize the unique significance of different roles. Building on this insight, we propose AgentFM, a role-aware failure management framework for distributed databases powered by LLM-driven multi-agents. AgentFM addresses failure management by considering system roles, data roles, and task roles, with a meta-agent orchestrating these components. Preliminary evaluations using Apache IoTDB demonstrate the effectiveness of AgentFM and open new directions for further research.

description: We investigate Ising ferrimagnets on square and simple-cubic lattices with exchange couplings between spins of values S=1/2 and S=1 on neighbouring sites and an additional single-site anisotropy term on the S=1 sites. Based mainly on a careful and comprehensive Monte Carlo study, we conclude that there is no tricritical point in the two--dimensional case, in contradiction to mean-field predictions and recent series results. However, evidence for a tricritical point is found in the three-dimensional case. In addition, a line of compensation points is found for the simple-cubic, but not for the square lattice.

title: Short-Term Water Use Dynamics in Drainage Lysimeters
Creators: name: Dlamini, Musa V.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2003

description: Turfgrass water use (seasonal turfET) and crop coefficients were determined and a mathematical soil-water balance model for non-weighing drainage lysimeters, which simulates the occurrence (timing and amount) of drainage, was developed. Pairs of non-weighing drainage lysimeters were used to determine crop coefficients for turfgrass in four locations in the state of Utah: Logan Golf and Country Club, Murray Golf Course, Brigham Young University (Spanish Fork) Experiment Farm, and Sunbrook Golf Course (St. George).
Daily weather data including air temperature, relative humidity, average wind travel, total solar radiation, precipitation, and average soil temperature were collected with an electronic weather station at each site. Daily precipitation was measured in three sites throughout the season: Murray, Spanish Fork, and Sunbrook. At Logan Golf and Country Club, precipitation was measured to November 10,2002.
Water use (averages of two lysimeters) during the growing season varied from 684 to 732 mm for three years (2000- 2002) for the mid-April through late-October observation period at Logan Golf Course; 699 mm for May through October at Murray; 469 mm at Spanish Fork; and 896 mm for late-February through early November at Sunbrook, for 2002 growing season. Calculated seasonal Etr using the 82 Kimberly Penman equation with a 1 00-miles-per-day wind travel limit varied from 1166 to 1229 mm at Logan Golf and Country Club, 1067 mm at Murray, 839 mm at Spanish Fork, and 1574 mm at Sunbrook. Seasonal Etr calculated using the PM ASCE std Etr equation was greater than the 82 Kimberly Peru11an . Seasonal Eto calculated using the FAO#56 Eto equation was less than both the 82 Kimberly Penman and the PM ASCE std Etr equations.
Calculated crop coefficients (as a ratio of measured crop water use and calculated potential evapotranspiration) based on alfalfa reference evapotranspiration with the 1982 Kimberly-Penman equation averaged 0.58 for the three years at Logan. Seasonal averages varied from 0.57 to 0.60. Seasonal crop coefficients (2002) were 0.57 for Logan, Spanish Fork, and Sunbrook, and 0.65 for Murray. Short-period crop coefficients also varied within a given season. Short-term crop coefficients derived from a time of wetting and drainage experiment averaged 0.55 at Logan, 0.56 at Murray, 0.60 at Spanish Fork, and 0.56 at Sunbrook.

title: Algae-Based Biofilm Productivity and Treatment of Dairy Wastewater: Effects of Temperature and Organic Carbon Concentration
Creators: name: Fica, Zachary T.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Production of dairy and associated products is a source of millions of gallons of wastewater every year. Water used in cleaning feeding stalls as well as the liquid component of the animal waste are two of the major volumetric components of this wastewater. This water is nutrient rich, often limiting the viability as a land applied fertilizer. However, these same nutrients could be used as an inexpensive feedstock for the cultivation of algae, which can then be used to produce downstream products including animal feed and aquaculture.
As part of this study, algal biomass was cultivated on dairy wastewater from the Utah State University Caine Dairy. A Rotating Algal Biofilm Reactor (RABR) system was used to grow the biomass. The RABR is a biofilm technology designed and developed at Utah State University and has been applied to the treatment of municipal wastewater. In this study, the RABR was adapted for use in a dairy wastewater stream.
The RABR was operated at temperatures ranging from 7-27 °C, and organic carbon levels in the wastewater ranged from 300-1200 mg/L of Total Organic Carbon (TOC). Areal algal biofilm growth rates were calculated, and statistical analysis showed that both increasing temperature and levels of organic carbon contributed to an increase in biomass growth and an increase in nutrient removal.
Equations were then developed using a linearization method and corresponding constants and equations were generated that can be used to evaluate algal biomass productivity and nutrient removal rates in future experiments and designs for dairy wastewater.

description: A unified treatment of all known types of singularities for flat, isotropic and homogeneous spacetimes in the framework of loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is presented. These include bangs, crunches and all future singularities. Using effective spacetime description we perform a model independent general analysis of the properties of curvature, behavior of geodesics and strength of singularities. For illustration purposes a phenomenological model based analysis is also performed. We show that all values of the scale factor at which a strong singularity may occur are excluded from the effective loop quantum spacetime. Further, if the evolution leads to either a vanishing or divergent scale factor then the loop quantum universe is asymptotically deSitter in that regime. We also show that there exist a class of sudden extremal events, which includes a recently discussed possibility, for which the curvature or its derivatives will always diverge. Such events however turn out to be harmless weak curvature singularities beyond which geodesics can be extended. Our results point towards a generic resolution of physical singularities in LQC.

title: Alternative Treatment Technologies for Low-Cost Industrial and Municipal Wastewater Management
Creators: name: Hodges, Alan J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Roughly the same volume of water that rushes over the Niagara Falls is produced as wastewater in North America. This wastewater is treated through a variety of means to ensure that it can be safely returned to the natural ecosystem. This thesis examines two novel means for this treatment, one biological and one physical-chemical in nature, namely, Rotating Algae Biofilm Reactor treatment and expanded shale augmented coagulation-flocculation.
Rotating algae biofilm reactors (RABRs) support biofilm algae growth, and in turn, the algae take up harmful contaminants from the wastewater. This system was tested in wastewater from petroleum refining operations. The efficacy of the RABR system was compared with a traditional method of wastewater treatment, open pond lagoons, where wastewater is open to sunlight and algae growth occurs in suspension as compared to the biofilm formed by the RABR system. The RABR treatment demonstrated a statistically significant increase in removal of three constituents in wastewater that are harmful to the environment: nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended solids. Additionally, the RABR treatment demonstrated increased biomass production. This biomass can be converted into a variety of bioproducts including biofuels, agricultural feed, and nutraceuticals. This study is the first demonstration of this system in petroleum refining wastewater.
Currently, many wastewater treatment facilities use coagulation-flocculation to remove suspended solids from the wastewater. To achieve this removal, coagulants are added to the wastewater, which removes surface charges of the suspended particles, allowing particles in solution to coalesce and settle by gravity out of solution. One common coagulant added to wastewater is ferric sulfate. This study demonstrated that the addition of a new compound, expanded shale, to ferric sulfate could greatly improve the efficacy of the existing ferric sulfate coagulation system.

description: Recent experiments on bismuth have uncovered remarkably rich magnetization structure at fields well beyond the regime in which all carriers are expected to reside in the lowest Landau level. Motivated by these findings, we start from a microscopic tight-binding model and derive a low-energy Hamiltonian for the holes and three Dirac electrons pockets in bismuth. We find that an unconventional electron Zeeman effect, overlooked previously, suppresses the quantum limit for the electrons dramatically, giving rise to the observed anomalous magnetization structure. We further study interaction effects near fields at which the 2nd Landau level for one electron pocket empties, where magnetization hysteresis was observed. Here we find instabilities towards both charge density wave and Wigner crystal phases, and propose that hysteresis arises from a first-order transition out of the latter.

Ray Sarnacki - My Day of Archaeology, 2016
Creators: name: Jeppson, Patrice
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2016

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

description: In the past decades, most of the efforts have often been invested in the joint identification of contamination and hydraulic conductivity field in inland subsurface aquifers. However, the booming economy and dense population around the coast have brought a new challenge to the forefront: the serious pollution of coastal aquifers. Coastal aquifers are highly vulnerable ecological areas, which are affected by inland pollutants carried by groundwater during its entry into the sea and are also influenced by seawater intrusion. This article addresses the inverse problem of coastal aquifer pollution, which is subject to tidal effects, using the Iterative Local Updating Ensemble Smoother (ILUES) algorithm. The adopted ILUES algorithm is leveraged to efficiently extract pollutant concentration and salinity data for the identification of the source release history and characterization of the hydraulic conductivity field of a site with multiple pollutant sources. This study is based on a variant of the traditional benchmark problem, analyzing the influence of algorithm parameters, tidal effects, and heterogeneity on data assimilation. The article further demonstrates the great potential of ILUES to address new challenges. In addition, the significance of multi-level monitoring wells for the estimation of hydraulic conductivity in coastal multi-layered heterogeneous aquifers is explained.

The erosion of the form and quality of central Hobart's spaces : planning for repair
Creators: name: Stanley, Ian

description: This research project examines the erosion of street spaces which has occurred within the Central Business District of Hobart. The study area is the Central Business District of Hobart, an area which exhibits both form and function typical of most cities within the western world. The city centre has changed considerably since its days as a fledgling settlement in Van Deiman's Land. However it was the changes that occurred over the last 40 years that have had a direct and significant impact on the public spaces within the city. The recognition of the importance of the street as an integral part of the spatial framework of the city was made late last century. However it was not until early this century with unprecedented changes occurring to cities world-wide that consideration was given to means of retaining, reinforcing and reestablishing the street space. These changes were identified as: Technological; new building material allowed new forms of buildings, personalized transport was possible with the use of the motor vehicle. Economic; retailing took on a new form and relocated from the city centre, economies of scale encouraged other uses to become dominant within the C.B.D. Philosophical; Urbanists, Planners and Architects were recognising the problems that were developing in cities and new building and spatial forms were proposed. The major findings of the study are as follows: Building forms particularly those which evolved from the modernist movement have eroded the spacemaking qualities of traditional buildings. The motor vehicle has had a wide ranging effect on both a micro and macro scale. Statutory controls have encouraged a break from the traditional building form. The function of the study area has evolved resulting in a loss of traditional roles (e.g. retailing). Public spaces (e.g. streets) are being privatised, mostly to the detriment of the life and vitality of the street. New street types have been introduced (e.g. internal streets, malls) which have fragmented and/or destroyed the traditional shopping street. Forces outside the study area have had a profound impact on the function of the study area. Assessment of the findings in the study has led to a number of recommendations, which,in summary are as follows: Review of various provisions within the statutory framework Intra and interdepartmental cooperation in the management of the public spaces Formation of urban design guidelines Reduction in the impact of vehicular numbers, movement, parking within the study area through various means Involvement of citizens groups, business sector and Council in the promotion of the importance and vitality of the street spaces Regional approach to retailing
