Clustering Of Rapidly Settling, Low-Inertia Particle Pairs In Isotropic Turbulence. Part 2. Comparison Of Theory And Dns, Sarma L. Rani, Rohit Dhariwal, Donald L. Koch

PRC-Affiliated Research

Part 1 (Rani et al. J. Fluid Mech. , vol. 871, 2019, pp. 450–476) of this study presented a stochastic theory for the clustering of monodisperse, rapidly settling, low-Stokes-number particle pairs in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The theory involved the development of closure approximations for the drift and diffusion fluxes in the probability density function (p.d.f.) equation for the pair relative positions $\boldsymbol{r}$ . In this part 2 paper, the theory is quantitatively analysed by comparing its predictions of particle clustering with data from direct numerical simulations (DNS) of isotropic turbulence containing particles settling under gravity. The simulations were performed at …

SLRad data generated include sample activity as disintegrations per minute per gram(dpm/g) of 1) Excess Thorium-234 (234Thxs) activity, which is calculated by measuring the total Thorium-234 (234ThTot) activity and the subtraction of the measured or estimated “Supported” Thorium-234 (234ThSup) activity, 2) Excess Lead-210 (210Pbxs) activity, which is calculated by measuring the total …

Effects Of Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) Extract In Streptozocin‐Induced Diabetic Model, Diana G. Sami, Marwa T. Badawy, Maha E. Mansour, Ahmed Abdellatif

Faculty Journal Articles

Herbal remedies have been used for centuries to ameliorate complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study is to compare the effects of the oral curcumin supplement versus parenteral administration of turmeric extract on diabetic complications in a streptozocin (STZ) diabetic model. STZ DM rats received low and high doses turmeric extract intraperitoneally as well as oral curcumin. Curcumin and turmeric extracts significantly reduced blood glucose and creatinine levels, but not urea, and caused an increase in uric acid. Low dose improved liver enzymes, while higher dose and oral administration caused an increase in the ALT and AST. …

Raft: Readable Arabic Finding Tool, Joshua Hveem

Instructional Psychology and Technology Graduate Student Projects

I was asked by the Arabic Flagship chapter at BYU to take over the development of the Readable Arabic Finding Tool (RAFT) project. This tool facilitates the finding of authentic material, or material not originally written for a classroom, at a level specified by the user. This tool will reduce the time spent finding reading materials and, consequently, increase the ability of Arabic instructors to use authentic texts at appropriate difficulty levels for their students in their instruction.

Understanding School Sabotage Among Survivors Of Intimate Partner Violence From Diverse Populations, Rachel Voth Schrag, Tonya Edmond, Anne Nordberg

Social Work Faculty Publications & Presentations-Archive

Education is an important pathway to safety for survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). Recent work documents tactics of school sabotage (behaviors aimed at sabotaging education) identified by school staff and advocates. However, more needs to be known about the perspectives of survivors. As part of a multiphasic study of 435 female community college students, 20 semi-structured interviews with IPV survivors were conducted. Identified tactics included disrupting child care, emotional abuse, and using manipulation to limit access to campus or resources. Identified impacts include preventing focus, diminished academic achievement, emotional or mental health challenges, and instilling a desire to overcome. …

The Influence Of Water And Nutrient Management On Oil Palm Yield Trends On A Large-Scale Plantation In Ghana, Tiemen Rhebergen, Thomas Fairhurst, Ken E. Giller, Shamie Zingore

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Oil palm (Eleais guineensisJacq.) production in West Africa is limited by poor soils and suboptimal climate. The potential to improve fruit bunch (FB) yields with appropriate water and nutrient management in Ghana is thus considerable. To assess the effects of water and nutrient management on oil palm yields, a 2 x 2 factorial randomized complete block design with irrigation and fertilizer was implemented for three years in the main oil palm production area of Western region, Ghana. Treatments included i) zero irrigation + zero fertilizer (control), ii) zero irrigation + fertilizer, iii) irrigation + zero fertilizer and iv) irrigation + …

Seasonal Abundance Of Plutella Xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) And Diversity Of Its Parasitoids Along Altitudinal Gradients Of The Eastern Afromontane, Benignus Valentine Ngowi, Henri Edouardo Zefack Tonnang, Fathiya Khamis, Evans Mungai Mwangi, Brigitte Nyambo, Paul Nduati Ndegwa, Sevgan Subramanian

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Monthly field surveys of diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.) and its parasitoids were conducted to assess seasonal abundance and diversity under changing altitude. Twenty-four crucifer farms spread across three altitudinal zones of Mount Kilimanjaro and Taita hills were sampled for the insects at monthly interval from 2013 to 2014. Diamondback moth abundance differed significantly between seasons (F3, 21 = 3.883, p = 0.024) in the high zone of Taita hills. The abundance among altitudinal zones of the two transects was not significantly different (Mt. Kilimanjaro: F2, 98 = 0.415, p = 0.661; Taita hills: F2, 116 = 0.303, p …

Isopentyl Butanoate: Aggregation Pheromone Of The Brown Spiny Bug, Clavigralla Tomentosicollis (Hemiptera: Coreidae), And Kairomone For The Egg Parasitoid Gryon Sp. (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), Hilaire Kpongbe, Johnnie Van Den Berg, Fathiya Khamis, Manuele Tamò, Baldwyn Torto

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

The brown spiny bug, Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stål (Hemiptera: Coreidae) is a key pest of leguminous crops in many countries in Africa, causing significant yield losses especially in cowpea, pigeon pea and common beans. Although C. tomentosicollis uses olfaction to aggregate, little is known about the identity of the aggregation pheromone. This study aimed to identify the aggregation pheromone of C. tomentosicollis and to test its potential role in the behavior of its egg parasitoid, Gryon sp. In Y-tube olfactometer bioassays, only male volatiles strongly attracted both sexes of C. tomentosicollis. Coupled gas chromatography/electroantennographic detection (GC/EAD) and GC/mass spectrometry were used …

Organic farming has been proposed as a solution to foster agricultural sustainability and mitigate the negative environmental impacts of conventional farming. This study assessed N losses and soil surface N balances in conventional and organic farming systems in a sub-humid and semi-humid (Chuka and Thika) sites in Kenya. Nitrate–N (NO3−–N) leached was trapped at 1 m depth using the Self Integrating Accumulator core method and the changes in mineral-N were assessed at different soil depths and different crop growth stages. Both conventional and organic farming systems lost substantial amounts of NO3−–N at the early growth stages of all the crops. …

Open/Closed Boundary And Energy Cutoff Latitude Data For Papers 1 And 2, David Alan Smith

Abstract for Paper 1: The open-closed boundary (OCB) defines a region of significant transformation in Earth's protective magnetic shield. Principle among these changes is the transition of magnetic field lines from having two foot points, one in each hemisphere, to one foot point at Earth, the other mapping to the solar wind (SW). Charged particles in the SW are able to follow these open field lines into Earth's upper atmosphere. The OCB also defines the polar cap boundary (PCB). Being able to identify and track the OCB allows study of several components of the geomagnetic system. Among them are the …

Rapid Invariant Encoding Of Scene Layout In Human Opa, Linda Henriksson, Marieke Mur, Nikolaus Kriegeskorte

Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications

Successful visual navigation requires a sense of the geometry of the local environment. How do our brains extract this information from retinal images? Here we visually presented scenes with all possible combinations of five scene-bounding elements (left, right, and back walls; ceiling; floor) to human subjects during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). The fMRI response patterns in the scene-responsive occipital place area (OPA) reflected scene layout with invariance to changes in surface texture. This result contrasted sharply with the primary visual cortex (V1), which reflected low-level image features of the stimuli, and the parahippocampal place area (PPA), …
