Prediction Of Discharge Coefficient Of Circular Side Orifice Through Machine Learning Technique, Syed Ahmed Noman, Ajmal Hussain, Mohd. Danish, Rashid Ali

International Symposium on Hydraulic Structures

A sharp-crested circular side orifice is a crucial element when it comes to diverting flow from primary source to its subordinate source. Such a flow measurement instrument technique is of immense value in conservation and evaluation of drainage and irrigation networks. Usually, it is placed towards the side of a channel in order to regulate the flow of the fluid. Traditionally, coefficient of discharge was predicted through regression methods which are time-consuming and lack accuracy. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications in this domain have bridged this gap by providing novel alternative methods which prove much more efficient. Repeated studies …

Sustaining Water Conservation: A Synthesis Of Research On Motivators, Message Construction, And Tactics, Mahmudur R. Aveek, David E. Rosenberg

Civil and Environmental Engineering Student Research

Urban water managers face the challenge of sustaining conservation behavior. A review of 77 papers across water, energy, and environmental conservation was conducted to understand how programs encourage reduced water use. Motivators were external or internal. Theories of behavior change targeted different social-psychological factors. No single model addressed all aspects. Different message contents (water use, self-comparison, social comparison, leak information) and tactics (communication medium, frequency, program duration) reduced use by 0.5% to 25%. Reductions typically lasted less than a year. Quantifying the effects of specific motivators, message contents, and tactics was difficult due to varied contexts. Effective conservation messages included …

Diversifying Knowledge: Presenting And Applying A Framework For Inclusive Graduate Program Websites, Jamal-Jared Alexander, Hannah L. Stevens, Rebecca Walton

English Student Research

This paper reports our experience improving the inclusivity of Utah State University’s (USU) Technical Communication and Rhetoric (TCR) graduate program’s online materials. We report outcomes and implications of a 20-hour project in which Stevens applies aspects of an analytical framework developed by Alexander. In addition to the nine-tactic framework introduced in this report, readers may find value in four takeaways we share, based on our experience applying the framework.

Cultivating Ethics In The Peer Review Process, Rachel Welton Bryson, Sam Clem

English Student Research

After describing the content and implementation of an anti-racist scholarly review training informed by recent scholarship in technical communication (TC), the authors reflect on an unanticipated outcome of that training: a participant using language from the training in an attempt to silence an author they were reviewing. We analyze this experience through a framework of modern virtue ethics scholarship and explore ways to cultivate more ethical peer review practices. Drawing upon elements of ethical self-cultivation articulated by Vallor, we use concepts of moral habituation, relational understanding, and reflective self-examination to understand how to cultivate more ethical, reflexive peer review processes.

An Assessment Of The Location Of The Bears Ears National Monument Cultural Center, Jordan W. Smith, Eunjung Yang, Anna B. Miller

Environment and Society Faculty Publications

A cultural center at Bears Ears National Monument, if well planned, could serve as an anchor destination through which visitors could learn about, experience, and appreciate the cultures, histories, and landscapes that define southeastern Utah. A cultural center also holds the potential to bolster the regional economy, by signaling a long-term investment in the sustainability of the region’s outdoor recreation and tourism industry. Our intent with this analysis is to establish a foundational understanding of potential locations for a cultural center. We develop and analyze a set of cultural, environmental, and economic metrics that can be used to shape ongoing …

Development And Characterization Of Type I Interferon Receptor Knockout Sheep: A Model For Viral Immunology And Reproductive Signaling, Christopher J. Davies, Zhiqiang Fan, Kira P. Morgado, Ying Liu, Misha Regouski, Qinggang Meng, Aaron J. Thomas, Sang-Im Yun, Byung-Hak Song, Jordan C. Frank, Iuri V. Perisse, Arnaud Van Wettere, Young-Min Lee, Irina A. Polejaeva

Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Science Faculty Publications

Type I interferons (IFNs) initiate immune responses to viral infections. Their effects are mediated by the type I IFN receptor, IFNAR, comprised of two subunits: IFNAR1 and IFNAR2. One or both chains of the sheep IFNAR were disrupted in fetal fibroblast lines using CRISPR/Cas9 and 12 lambs were produced by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for IFN-stimulated gene expression showed that IFNAR deficient sheep fail to respond to IFN-alpha. Furthermore, fibroblast cells from an IFNAR2^−/− fetus supported significantly higher levels of Zika virus (ZIKV) replication than wild-type fetal fibroblast cells. Although many lambs have …

Acceptance And Commitment Therapy For A Child With Misophonia: A Case Study, Julie M. Petersen, Michael P. Twohig

Psychology Faculty Publications

Misophonia, a condition involving hypersensitivity, anger, and/or disgust in response to specific noises (e.g., chewing, tapping), is highly underresearched in children. Several case studies point towards the utility of cognitive behavioral therapy and related treatments (e.g., acceptance and commitment therapy [ACT]). ACT presents a particularly promising option, as it focuses on building psychological flexibility in response to difficult internal experiences, rather than trying to remove or change them (e.g., responding effectively to irritation provoked by chewing). The present case study describes “Kelly” (pseudonym), a 12-year-old girl with moderately severe misophonia symptoms, who received a 16-session course of ACT for misophonia. …
