title: An Investigation of Methods for Estimating Marginal Values of Irrigation Water
Creators: name: Johnson, Richard L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1967

description: Marginal values of water us ed in irrigation are needed if water is to be optimally allocated among alternative uses. Cobb- Douglas production function analysis and linear programming methods were studied in this investigation to find their fruitfulness in predicting these marginal values. The theoretical properties of both methods indicate that they are conceptually capable of yielding valid marginal value estimates for irrigation water.
Further investigation of the two methods was carried out as an empirical test in the Milford area of Utah . Marginal values of water used for irrigation in that area were estimated by both procedures. Although inviolable criteria for testing the validity of the estimates are not available, imperfect standards or' measure imply that they are sound. Linear programming and Cobb -Douglas production function analysis are therefore concluded to be fruitful methods of estimating marginal values of water used for irrigation.

description: We put forward complementary relations of entanglement, coherence, steering inequality violation, and Bell nonlocality for arbitrary three-qubit states. We show that two families of genuinely entangled three-qubit pure states with single parameter exist, and they exhibit maximum coherence and steering inequality violation for a fixed amount of negativity, respectively. It is found that the negativity is exactly equal to the geometric mean of bipartite concurrences for the three-qubit pure states, although the negativity is always less than or equal to the latter for three-qubit mixed states. Moreover, the complementary relation between negativity and first-order coherence for tripartite entanglement states are established. Furthermore, we investigate the close relation between the negativity and the maximum steering inequality violation. In addition, the complementary relation between negativity and the maximum Bell-inequality violation for arbitrary three-qubit states is obtained. The results provide reliable evidence of fundamental connections among entanglement, coherence, steering inequality violation, and Bell nonlocality.

description: Here, we study the distribution of Fundamental-mode Cepheids in the Magellanic Cloud as a function of their positions and ages using the data from the OGLE~IV survey. Age of the Cepheids are determined through well known period - age relations for the LMC and SMC Cepheids which are used to understand the star formation scenario in the Magellanic Cloud. The age distributions of the Cepheids in LMC and SMC show peak around $155^{+45}_{-35}$ Myr and $224^{+51}_{-42}$ Myr, respectively. This indicates that a major star formation event took place in the Magellanic Cloud at about 200\,Myr ago. It is believed that this event might have been triggered by a close encounter between the two components of the Magellanic Cloud or due to a possible tidal interaction between the Magellanic Cloud and Milky Way galaxy during one of its pericentric passages round the Milky Way. Cepheids are found to be asymmetrically distributed in both the LMC and SMC. A high-density clumpy structure is found to be located towards eastern side of the LMC and south-west direction of the SMC from their respective galactic centres.

Year: 1967

description: A study was made of the use of credit by a randomly selected sample of the Ut ah State University staff personnel during 1964 and 1965. The information was obtained by means of a questionnaire.
The major objective of the study was to examine the relationship between income and consumer debt with specific reference to reasons underlying the demand for consumer credit, the relationships between amount of consumer credit and variables such as family income, family size , age of family head and amount of liquid assets, and the nature of the demand function for consumer credit.
Analysis o f t he information supplied by the questionnaires suggested the following conclusions : (1) Although credit and the variables were closely related, no really significant linear relationship could be established from t he data on hand . (2 ) Use of consumer credit was most frequent among the university personnel under 40 years of age. (3) The major purpose of us ing credit was to purchase automobiles. (4) The most important source of credit was the credit union, with commercial banks, auto s ales finance companies, and retail outlets in the second , third, and fourth places respectively. (5) The use of consumer credit is a middle class phenomenon, with the concentration of borrowers in the $5 ,250 to $9,249 income range.

description: Feedback and outflows in galaxies that are associated with a quasar phase are expected to be pivotal in quenching the most massive galaxies. However, observations targeting the molecular outflow phase, which dominates both the mass and momentum and removes the immediate fuel for star formation, are limited in high-z QSO hosts. Massive quiescent galaxies found at z ~ 4 are predicted to have already quenched star formation by z ~ 5 and undergone their most intense growth at z > 6. Here, we present two ALMA detections of molecular outflows, traced by blue-shifted absorption of the OH 119 micron doublet, from a sample of three z > 6 infrared luminous QSO hosts: J2310+1855 and P183+05. OH 119 micron is also detected in emission in P183+05, and tentatively in the third source: P036+03. Using similar assumptions as for high-z Dusty Star-Forming Galaxy outflows, we find that our QSOs drive molecular outflows with comparable mass outflow rates, and that are comparably energetic except for J2310+1855's significantly lower outflow energy flux. We do not find evidence, nor require additional input from the central AGN to drive the molecular outflow in J2310+1855 but can not rule out an AGN contribution in P183+05 if a significant AGN contribution to L_FIR is assumed and/or if the outflow covering fraction is high (> 53%), which evidence from the literature suggests is unlikely in these sources. Differences observed in the blue-shifted absorption spectral properties may instead be caused by the QSO hosts' more compact dust continuum, limiting observations to lower altitude and more central regions of the outflow.

Level Crossing Rate and Average Fade Duration of EGC Systems with Cochannel Interference in Rayleigh Fading

Year: 2009

description: Both the first-order signal statistics (e.g. the outage probability) and the second-order signal statistics (e.g. the average level crossing rate, LCR, and the average fade duration, AFD) are important design criteria and performance measures for the wireless communication systems, including the equal gain combining (EGC) systems in presence of the cochannel interference (CCI). Although the analytical expressions for the outage probability of the coherent EGC systems exposed to CCI and various fading channels are already known, the respective ones for the average LCR and the AFD are not available in the literature. This paper presents such analytical expressions for the Rayleigh fading channel, which are obtained by utilizing a novel analytical approach that does not require the explicit expression for the joint PDF of the instantaneous output signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and its time derivative. Applying the characteristic function method and the Beaulieu series, we determined the average LCR and the AFD at the output of an interference-limited EGC system with an arbitrary diversity order and an arbitrary number of cochannel interferers in forms of an infinite integral and an infinite series. For the dual diversity case, the respective expressions are derived in closed forms in terms of the gamma and the beta functions.

description: Ferroelectric BiFeO3 thin films and artificial superlattices of (BiFeO3)m(SrTiO3)m (m~ 1 to 10 unit cells) were fabricated on (001)-oriented SrTiO3 substrates by pulsed laser ablation. The variation of leakage current and macroscopic polarization with periodicity was studied. Piezo force microscopy studies revealed the presence of large ferroelectric domains in the case of BiFeO3 thin films while a size reduction in ferroelectric domains was observed in the case of superlattice structures. The results show that the modification of ferroelectric domains through superlattice, could provide an additional control on engineering the domain wall mediated functional properties.

description: This thesis is an attempt to evaluate quantitatively as well as qualitatively possible future developments in international trade of oranges and tangerines, and the possible impact of these developments on the export of oranges and tangerines by Israel.
After World War II, international trade in oranges and tangerines increased rapidly, mostly as a result of the rapid rise in standards of living and the improvements in diet habits which took place in many countries at that time. These favorable marketing conditions encouraged the planting of new groves in the citrus growing areas of the world and particularly those of the Mediterranean countries.

title: Optimum Size and Location for a Northern Utah Feed Mill
Creators: name: Whitaker, Morris Duane
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1966

description: Over the years, Utah has enjoyed the advantage of having natural agricultural resources that favor the production of livestock. Sheep and beef cattle do well on the desert and high mountain ranges that cover much of the state, Dairy cattle and wintering beef cattle use the alfalfa and native hay along with some corn silage that is grown in the irrigated valleys. Feed grains are grown in rotation with forage crops on irrigated land and also on dry land. Before 1950, the quantities of feed grains produced had been sufficient to meet the needs of dairy, range livestock and poultry. However, with the realization that Utah had a natural market position in relation to the coast markets, there developed an extensive poultry and livestock fattening business. Since that time Utah has been in the position of a feed grain deficit state. This has tended to raise the cost of feed grain by $10 to $12 per ton due to the transportation factor.
Also, Utah's poultry industry relied partially upon feed wheat from northern Utah and southern Idaho, but with acreage allotments and price controls, the price of wheat increased to the point where it was no longer used as a poultry feed. As a consequence, poultry and egg producers also had to turn to importing more of their feed grains, which put them into a higher feed cost position along with the livestock feeder. In the past year, however, the price of feed wheat declined to the point where wheat was used extensively in livestock feed stuffs for the first time in years.

description: Competition between the ferromagnetic double-exchange interaction and the super-exchange antiferromagnetic interaction is theoretically studied in the presence of geometrical frustration. As increasing the super-exchange interaction, the ferromagnetic metal becomes unstable, and is taken over by a cooperative paramagnetic metal, in sharp contrast with a discontinuous transition to the antiferromagnetic insulator in the absence of frustration. In the critical region, the system exhibits a peculiar temperature-independent behavior with highly incoherent transport, suggesting a large residual entropy at low temperatures. We discuss the relevance of the results to the pressure-induced behaviors in Mo pyrochlore oxides [S. Iguchi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 136407 (2009)].

description: The research of stress reaction under the influence of bee venom and immobilization on rat is made in this paper. It is demonstrated that the stress reaction is developed under the influence of both factors. However, it’s shown that the second phase of stress reaction connected with hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis activation and glucocorticoid concentration increase predominates in case of bee venom injection. The revealed prolongation of the second, compensatory phase may define the organism resistance increase after the bee venom injection and bee venom therapeutic action.

description: Genomic instability is one of the biomarkers of aging. Studies show that the spontaneous level of chromosomal aberrations in lymphocytes increases with age. However, it is not yet fully understood whether there is an agedependent increase in genomic instability. The aim of this study was to establish the patterns of the influence of age on the level of chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes. For this purpose, the spontaneous frequency of chromosomal aberrations, mitotic activity and the number of aneuploidies in the lymphocytes of centenarians (people over 85 years old) were assessed. A standard cytogenetic research method was used. It was shown that the overall frequency of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes in centenarians was significantly higher than in the control group. It was revealed that there is a decrease in the mitotic activity of lymphocytes in the sample of centenarians, while the level of aneuploidies corresponds to the control group. It was also found that, despite the fact that the total number of aberrations increases with age, a decrease in the frequency of deletions is observed in the group of centenarians. No correlation was found between biological age and the frequency of aberrations.

description: The problem which was investigated in this study was the influence of a child development laboratory experience and the child's discriminatory abilities on the developmental level of children's art productions.
Forty-eight children, three and four years of age, of whom 24 had no prior experience, and 24 others had completed approximately six months as participants in a child development laboratory, were included in the study.
All children were given a discrimination task to establish their individual levels of discriminatory abilities. Each child painted four pictures, two with easel paint and two with crayons. Each painting was analyzed to determine art content and level of development.
The findings indicated that discrimination ability does not appear to be an influential factor on the developmental level of children's art creations among children of this age. Children demonstrated more advanced art stages when using crayons than when painting with tempra at the easel. Experience in the Child Development Laboratory exerted its strongest influence on the child's production of learned art forms, alphabet letters and numerals.
It was concluded that art experiences for three and four year old children tend to be motoric and exploratory responses to the various media in use by them. However, experience is also a factor in the development of children's art, in that the child's use of learned art forms is influenced by an enriched learning environment.

title: Simultaneous Movement of Water and Herbicides in Unsaturated Soils
Creators: name: Yang, Ming-shyong
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1966

description: Since weed killers were developed in the early part of the decade beginning in 1940, herbicides have been increasing in use until they are now widely used to control weeds . The application of herbicides has thus become a regular agricultural and ecological practice.
Some of the herbicides are applied directly to soils and accompanied by a light irrigation to wash them into the soil in order to increase their efficiency . Some of these chemicals accumulate in the soil and should be removed in order to avoid toxic effect on succeeding plants (Klingman, 1961) . The toxic effect of herbicidal residues in soil and water to human subjects , livestock , and wildlife has been repor•ted (Paynter et al., 1960; Carpenter et al., 1961). When these materials are leached out of the soil , they may pollute the water supply. The movement of water and herbicides in soils is thus closely connected to both their herbicidal and toxic effect and is becoming a serious economic problem.
It is the purpose of this investigation to study the simultaneous movement of water and herbicides in unsaturated soils by using the thermodynamic theory of irreversible processes. The adsorption of herbicides, the energy of adsorption, and the break-through curve will also be studied.

description: We analyze the late time evolution of 12 supernovae (SNe) occurring over the last ${\sim}$41 years, including nine Type IIP/L, two IIb, and one Ib/c, using UBVR optical data from the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) and difference imaging. We see late time (5 to 42 years) emission from nine of the eleven Type II SNe (eight Type IIP/L, one IIb). We consider radioactive decay, circumstellar medium (CSM) interactions, pulsar/engine driven emission, dust echoes, and shock perturbed binary companions as possible sources of emission. The observed emission is most naturally explained as CSM interactions with the normal stellar winds of red supergiants with mass loss rates in the range $-7.9\lesssim \log_{10}(M_\odot\text{yr}{}^{-1}) \lesssim-4.8$. We also place constraints on the presence of any shock heated binary companion to the Type Ib/c SN 2012fh and provide progenitor photometry for the Type IIb SN 2011dh, the only one of the six SNe with pre-explosion LBT observations where the SN has faded sufficiently to allow the measurement. The results are consistent with measurements from pre-explosion Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images.

description: Ditylenchus Dipsaci (Kuhn) Filipjev. is one of the most destructive nematodes to crop plants. It attacks and damages more than 300 species of cultivated and uncultivated plants. The nematode can be differentiated into many races, each of them having a preference for a group or even a single plant species.
Alfalfa stem nematode is one of the races in this species which attacks the above ground portion of alfalfa but does not infest the roots. Larvae of this nematode may migrate from the plant tissue to soil in moist conditions. These nematodes migrate actively to nearby plants or are carried by agricultural tools or wind to reach plants at some distance away, causing a new infection.

description: Accent Conversion (AC) seeks to change the accent of speech from one (source) to another (target) while preserving the speech content and speaker identity. However, many AC approaches rely on source-target parallel speech data. We propose a novel accent conversion framework without the need of parallel data. Specifically, a text-to-speech (TTS) system is first pretrained with target-accented speech data. This TTS model and its hidden representations are expected to be associated only with the target accent. Then, a speech encoder is trained to convert the accent of the speech under the supervision of the pretrained TTS model. In doing so, the source-accented speech and its corresponding transcription are forwarded to the speech encoder and the pretrained TTS, respectively. The output of the speech encoder is optimized to be the same as the text embedding in the TTS system. At run-time, the speech encoder is combined with the pretrained TTS decoder to convert the source-accented speech toward the target. In the experiments, we converted English with two source accents (Chinese and Indian) to the target accent (American/British/Canadian). Both objective metrics and subjective listening tests successfully validate that, without any parallel data, the proposed approach generates speech samples that are close to the target accent with high speech quality.

description: The development of clinical forms of infection and endoscopic changes in the gastric mucosa depends on the H.pylori genetic diversity in a given region. The aim of this work was to study the relationship of the genetic profile of H.pylori pathogenicity factors with clinical and endoscopic features of Helicobacter-associated gastritis in Nizhny Novgorod. A number of H.pylori pathogenicity genes of DNA isolates obtained by endoscopy from 151 patients with chronic H.pylori-associated gastritis (non-destructive, erosive, and atrophic) were studied by PCR. Results. In destructive processes in the gastric mucosa, the detection frequency of cagA, vacA s1 m1 genes and a combination of several pathogenicity factors, including iceA A1 and babA was higher than in other forms of gastritis. Atrophic gastritis is characterized by the genetic profile cagA and vacA s2 m2. Infection with several H.pylori strains is determined more often in erosive gastritis and atrophy of the gastric mucosa. Conclusions. In chronic gastritis in Nizhny Novgorod, a predominantly "European" character of the pathogen population structure was revealed with a moderate content of the most pathogenic cagA, vacA s1-positive strains. Colonization of the gastric mucosa by H.pylori with a genetic structure containing pathogenicity factors cagA, vacA, babA, ice A2, in chronic H.pylori-associated diseases, it is a factor in increasing the severity, activity and prevalence of the inflammatory process, the appearance of signs of atrophy of the gastric mucosa. The greatest influence on these indicators is exerted by the presence of cagA and vacA s1 in the microorganism genome, as well as a combination of several pathogenicity factors.

description: This paper reports the effect of Fe doping on the structure and room temperature ferromagnetism of CeO2 nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction and selective area electron diffraction measurement reflects that Ce1-xFexO2 (x = 0.0 - 0.07) nanoparticles exhibit single phase nature with cubic structure and none of the sample showed the presence of any secondary phase. The mean particle size calculated by using a transmission electron microscopy measurement was found to increase with increase in Fe content. DC magnetization measurements performed at room temperature indicates that all the samples exhibit ferromagnetism. The saturation magnetic moment has been found to increase with an increase in the Fe content.

psychophysiological markers
sensorimotor activity
event-related telemetry of the heart rate (ERT HR)

description: ADHD is considered one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders of childhood and among the most prevalent chronic health conditions affecting school-age children. This makes research of psychophysiological correlates of ADHD very important. The aim of our pilot study was to find out the specific aspects of autonomic regulation of a sensorimotor activity in children with ADHD. To assess objectively the functional state dynamics of the children, the technology of event-related telemetry of the heart rate was used (cogni-nn.ru, Lobachevsky State University). This technology integrates the ApWay.ru Web platform for the controlled activation of primary cognitive functions. The conducted study allowed us to reveal some specific aspects of sensorimotor activity and autonomic regulation for children with ADHD. A digital map of psychophysiological status based on the integration of indicators of sensorimotor activity and event-related parameters of autonomic regulation can be an effective tool to increase the specificity, sensitivity and reliability of the diagnosis of ADHD in children.

description: This letter provides closed-form expressions for the outage probability, the average level crossing rate (LCR) and the average fade duration (AFD) of a dual diversity selection combining (SC) system exposed to the combined influence of the cochannel interference (CCI) and the thermal noise (AWGN) in Nakagami fading channel. The branch selection is based on the desired signal power SC algorithm with all input signals assumed to be independent, while the powers of the desired signals in all diversity branches are mutually equal but distinct from the power of the interference signals. The analytical results reduce to known solutions in the cases of an interference-limited system in Rayleigh fading and an AWGN-limited system in Nakagami fading. The average LCR is determined by an original approach that does not require explicit knowledge of the joint PDF of the envelope and its time derivative, which also paves the way for similar analysis of other diversity systems.

description: The X-ray signal from active galactic nuclei and black hole X-ray binaries is highly variable on a range of timescales. This variability can be exploited to map the region of interest close to the black hole, which is far too small to directly image for all but two black holes in the Universe. Spectral-timing techniques provide causal information by combining timing and spectral information. I present a brief review of such techniques, focusing on two examples: X-ray reverberation mapping and phase-resolved spectroscopy of low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LF QPOs). The former provides a means to diagnose the accretion geometry and measure parameters such as black hole mass, and the latter gives perhaps the best constraints we currently have as to the enigmatic LF QPO mechanism.

title: An Investigation of Certain Linkage Relationships in Barley
Creators: name: Tehrani, Parichehr Ahmadian
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1966

description: Barley is one of the world's most important food and feed crops. It is adapted to a wide range of environments. According to Harlan and Martini (1936) barley is grown from north of the Artic Circle to the sands of the Sahara, and from the slopes of Mt. Everest to the lower delta of the Nile.
Considerable progress has been made in its improvement through plant breeding. Barley is one of the best cultivated crop plants for use in genetic studies. It is a diploid plant from the family Gramineae with seven pairs of chromosomes. The cultivated species are interfertile and have a large number of readily distinguishable genetic characters. Approximately 370 characters are recognized (Nilan, 1964).
Many of Barley's genes have been mapped and assigned to one of the seven chromosomes. Linkage groups in barley have been designated in a number of ways. A Roman numeral was used extensively in the earlier studies to identify each linkage group. More recently an Arabic number system has been used. This system was adopted by the Fourth Annual Barley Research Worker's Conference and will be followed in this study.
The study involves 24 contrasting factors and was undertaken to determine the location of certain genes already reported in specific linkage groups and, if possible, to assign several previously unassigned genes to linkage groups. Of the 24 factor pairs studied, six have not yet been assigned to a chromosome. The inheritance and linkage associations of these unassigned genes receive major emphasis in this study.

description: We investigate the nebular emission produced by young stellar populations using the new GALSEVN model based on the combination of the SEVN population-synthesis code including binary-star processes and the GALAXEV code for the spectral evolution of stellar populations. Photoionization calculations performed with the CLOUDY code confirm that accounting for binary-star processes strongly influences the predicted emission-line properties of young galaxies. In particular, we find that our model naturally reproduces the strong HeII/Hb ratios commonly observed at high Hb equivalent widths in metal-poor, actively star-forming galaxies, which have proven challenging to reproduce using previous models. Including bursty star formation histories broadens the agreement with observations, while the most extreme HeII equivalent widths can be reproduced by models dominated by massive stars. GALSEVN also enables us to compute, for the first time in a way physically consistent with stellar emission, the emission from accretion discs of X-ray binaries (XRBs) and radiative shocks driven by stellar winds and supernova explosions. We find that these contributions are unlikely to prominently affect the predicted HeII/Hb ratio, and that previous claims of a significant contribution by XRBs to the luminosities of high-ionization lines are based on models predicting improbably high ratios of X-ray luminosity to star formation rate, inconsistent with the observed average luminosity function of XRBs in nearby galaxies. The results presented here provide a solid basis for a more comprehensive investigation of the physical properties of observed galaxies with GALSEVN using Bayesian inference.

description: Measurements are presented of the B$^0_\mathrm{S}$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$ branching fraction and effective lifetime, as well as results of a search for the B$^0$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$ decay in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV at the LHC. The analysis is based on data collected with the CMS detector in 2016-2018 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb$^{-1}$. The branching fraction of the B$^0_\mathrm{S}$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$ decay and the effective B$^0_\mathrm{S}$ meson lifetime are the most precise single measurements to date. No evidence for the B$^0$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$ decay has been found. All results are found to be consistent with the standard model predictions and previous measurements.

Case studies in documenting the process of organizational change for community organization purposes
Creators: name: Audain, Michael James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study is an initial and exploratory venture toward examining organizational change as it applies to the field of social welfare in Greater Vancouver. Specifically the formulation for documenting change as outlined in the proposal of the Area Development Project of the Greater Vancouver Area was used in three separate case studies. The study has concerned itself with documenting the process of organizational change (both planned and unplanned), rather than analyzing the effect organizational change has had upon services and/or agencies. The first case study deals with three social actions initiated in 1964 by the Society of Women Only, a group of deserted women in the Vancouver Area. In each action process the organization was attempting to create change in governmental systems of a mutual support and social control nature. The change processes were documented from their inception but not to their conclusions. The structured organizational change documented in the second case study occurred in 1961. At that time two divisions of the Social Planning Section of the Community Chest and Councils of Greater Vancouver, the Groupwork and Recreation Division and the Family and Child Welfare Division were combined. The combined divisions became the Welfare and Recreation Council. The whole change process was documented from its inception in 1960 until the change was assessed by a special committee in January - March 1965. The third case study considers the documentation of organizational change being attempted in a geographic area known as Sunrise Park in the city of Vancouver. The purpose of this change process has been to formulate plans for action by the health, recreation, education and welfare agencies towards solving problems that exist or may exist as a result of the introduction of a large public housing project into the area. The case study deals with change process in its initial stages as the organizational change in the period under study was only just beginning. Each writer has concluded his case study by making a number of critical observations concerning the utility of the selected model for the development of both theory and practice in the field of community organization.
