Angle Effects Of Lidar Measurements On A Flat Surface And In High-Velocity Spillway Flows, R. Li, M. Kramer, S. Felder

International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures

Measurements in aerated high-velocity spillway flows have been traditionally conducted with point-source instruments. LIDAR is a promising remote sensing technology that may be able to provide more detailed insights into the free-surface properties. So far only one laboratory study has investigated the use of LIDAR technology in air-water flows on a spillway model showing that free-surface data in the aerated part of the flow can be recorded with high spatial and temporal resolution. However, the spillway model, as well as the aerated flow region, were quite short and further research is needed to test the performance of LIDAR technology on …

Submerged Flow Regimes Downstream Of A Weir At Multiple Slopes, K. S. Vikas, A. Sarkar

International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures

The higher water levels unanticipated at the time of floods are not generally considered in the design of hydraulic structures. The present study emphasizes the experimental investigation for the characterization of submerged flow regimes downstream of a rectangular sharp-crested weir at three different slopes (0, 0.004, and 0.008) that are possible with a laboratory flume. The classical flow patterns of submerged regimes, namely impinging jet, surface wave, surface jump, and surface jet regime, were analyzed. The experiments were conducted to examine the water profiles and the variations of different parameters, representing surface jumps and surface waves, with a gradual rise …

Sudex is a warm-season forage crop that performs well in Utah’s dry climate due to its drought tolerance. It can be especially useful during drought years or when irrigation supplies are limited. As well as being a high-quality feed, Sudex has many benefits, including weed suppression and soil-building properties. Although there are concerns for prussic acid and nitrate poisoning, these concerns can be reduced and often eliminated with proper management. This fact sheet provides information to producers about using Sudex and best production practices. Much of the information may also apply to forage sorghum and a few of the major …

Settler-On-Settler Violence: Ritual Protocols In Youtube Street Fight Videos - Part Two, Kelly Menzel, Tyson Yunkaporta

Journal of Indigenous Research

This is part two of a series of two papers exploring a project was conducted by two Australian Aboriginal researchers, one male and one female, and might be described as ‘reverse anthropology’, in the same way that people sometimes refer to positive discrimination as ‘reverse racism’. But we would just call it anthropology; a tidal river is still a river when it flows back the other way. The project could hardly be acknowledged as anthropology though, as it was based on Indigenous methods of inquiry that do not yet belong to a formal discipline. Initially the goal was to disrupt …

Symplectic Reduction Along A Submanifold, Peter Crooks, Maxence Mayrand

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We introduce the process of symplectic reduction along a submanifold as a uniform approach to taking quotients in symplectic geometry. This construction holds in the categories of smooth manifolds, complex analytic spaces, and complex algebraic varieties, and has an interpretation in terms of derived stacks in shifted symplectic geometry. It also encompasses Marsden-Weinstein-Meyer reduction, Mikami-Weinstein reduction, the pre-images of Poisson transversals under moment maps, symplectic cutting, symplectic implosion, and the Ginzburg-Kazhdan construction of Moore-Tachikawa varieties in topological quantum field theory. A key feature of our construction is a concrete and systematic association of a Hamiltonian G-space 𝔐_𝐺,𝑆 to …

Pausing While Programming: Insights From Keystroke Analysis, Raj Shrestha, Juho Leinonen, Albina Zavgorodniaia, Arto Hellas, John M. Edwards

Computer Science Student Research

Pauses in typing are generally considered to indicate cognitive processing and so are of interest in educational contexts. While much prior work has looked at typing behavior of Computer Science students, this paper presents results of a study specifically on the pausing behavior of students in Introductory Computer Programming. We investigate the frequency of pauses of different lengths, what last actions students take before pausing, and whether there is a correlation between pause length and performance in the course. We find evidence that frequency of pauses of all lengths is negatively correlated with performance, and that, while some keystrokes initiate …

Multiple Discharges Before Leader Inception In Long Air Gaps Under Positive Switching Impulses, Xiangen Zhao, Juhyeong Lee, Gang Liu, Lei Jia, Yang Liu, Junjia He, Yaping Du

Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Faculty Publications

There are multiple corona bursts before leader inception when the rising rate of the applied voltage or electric field is not sufficiently high enough in long positive sparks. In existing studies, no attention has been paid to whether these corona bursts occur in the same location, and they are mostly considered directly as belonging to the same discharge. However, this paper presents that in a typical rod-plate long air gap, the multiple corona bursts before leader inception are distributed in at least two different locations, and the highest probability of three discharges occurs. Also, the discharge occurs with the highest …

Backyard Fruit Production In Utah's High Mountain Valleys, Maegen Lewis, Jaydee Gunnell, Michael Pace, Teryl Roper

All Current Publications

Utah’s population has seen significant growth in recent years resulting in population increase outside of the Wasatch Front and into Utah's high mountain valleys. These locations include Bear Lake Valley, Ogden Valley, Morgan and Henefer, Park City, Wasatch Valley, and Sanpete Valley. Much of the information presented here would also apply to the Uintah Basin and other high elevation locations in eastern Utah. Common characteristics of these valleys include high elevations (greater than 5,000 feet) leading to short growing seasons. Many homeowners who are new to these regions wish to establish perennial fruit crops in their gardens. This publication outlines …

Lisianthus Cut Flower Production In Utah, Melanie Stock, Sheriden M. Hansen, Maegen A. Lewis, Anna Collins, Brent Black, Dan Drost

All Current Publications

Lisianthus is a florist staple and excellent crop for local farms. Its limited cool-storage period, long vase-life, and broad range of pastel- to jewel-tone colors are superior to wholesale imports. This fact sheet reviews lisianthus groups, site preparation, germination, transplanting, fertilizing, and irrigation and disease and pest management. It also provides information on trellising, harvest and storage, and economics as a specialty crop option for local farms.
