Analytical Solution Of The Green’S Functions For The Poisson Problem Outside A Disk, Mohammad Khorrami

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Poisson problem in the space outside of a disk is investigated. Specifically, the Green’s function corresponding to the problem is calculated. The Green’s function equation is separable in terms of (oblate) ellipsoidal coordinates. Therefore, these coordinates are used to obtain a series expression for the Green’s function. This is done for both the Dirichlet and Neumann problems. The result is used to calculate the electric potential for some examples, with specific boundary conditions on a disk.

Fool's Gold: The Stibnite Gold Project, Critical Minerals, And The Public Health Perils Of Antiquated Hardrock Mining Laws, Faith Quigley

Idaho Law Review

The proposed reopening of the Stibnite Gold Mine in Idaho has been heralded as a model for the future of modern hardrock mining. This project has received national interest in light of the growing domestic demand for critical minerals essential to climate-friendly energy technologies and national security. But beneath its green branding lies a deeper legal and public health crisis. Operating under the General Mining Law of 1872—a relic of frontier-era resource exploitation—the Stibnite Gold Project exemplifies how an outdated legal framework continues to enable environmental and human harm. While policymakers tout the domestic necessity of critical minerals, the Stibnite …

Facing The Accused: The Confrontation Clause And Protecting Child Victims Of Sexual Abuse, Raquel Pearson

Idaho Law Review

The Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause provides individuals the right to confront witnesses testifying against them. For decades, Idaho case law has grappled with the delicate balance between protecting victims of sexual assault and upholding defendants’ rights to cross examine their accusers. This delicate balance is further exacerbated when sexual assault cases involve minors, particularly in deciding whether victim statements implicate the Confrontation Clause. The Idaho Supreme Court considers the totality of the circumstances when evaluating whether a defendant’s right to confront a witness has been violated, but the standard for when the Clause is triggered remains unclear.

This Note seeks …

From Stigma To Statute: A Historical And Legal Comparative Analysis Of Involuntary Commitment Laws In Idaho, Jessica Cambron

Idaho Law Review

A lesser-known area of law in Idaho concerns the involuntary civil commitment process, a process by which thousands of people per year are committed to hospitals around the state. These laws, specifically in Idaho, govern the criteria which must be met for a person to be placed on an involuntary hold, detained in a hospital setting awaiting proceedings, or potentially committed.

Understanding the evolution of mental illness and the role of involuntary commitment – including successes, failures, and challenges – is essential to navigating reform. This Comment provides a brief history of mental illness, including key cultural events and cases …

Preserving Rural School Districts From The Threat Of Vouchers And Charters, Preston C. Green Iii

Idaho Law Review

School vouchers and charter schools are primed to grow at a time when public school systems are experiencing a precipitous decline in enrollment. Unfortunately, for many rural school districts, this challenging environment may endanger their very existence, to the detriment of the students and the communities they serve. To guard against this potential harm, this article calls for state legislatures to designate certain classes of rural districts as “education preserves.” This article also explains how states can create education preserves in a manner that can withstand Free Exercise Clause challenges.

Transport Of Quantum Walks In Electric Fields, Yousef Mohammad Yousef Salah

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

This thesis presents an analysis of transport in one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) on the Hilbert space . Quantum walks serve as fundamental models of coherent quantum transport and exhibit ballistic spreading driven by superposition and interference. The primary focus of this work is the review and derivation of sharp maximal velocity bounds for several classes of quantum walk step operators, including the shift-coin walk, the split-step walk, and models with constant as well as position-dependent coin operators. We establish general a priori bounds that remain valid beyond the translation-invariant regime. For homogeneous models, Fourier and spectral analysis yield explicit …

Examining The Benefits Of A Standardized Protocol For Hyperglycemia Screening In Adult Oncology Patients: A Pilot Study, Alexa Dashko

Pacific Journal of Health

Many individuals receiving cancer directed therapy are at risk of developing hyperglycemia and new, or worsening of, diabetes due to location of their cancer, treatment regimen, and/or prolonged use of steroids. Research shows that uncontrolled hyperglycemia can have detrimental effects on individuals’ response to cancer therapy, treatment associated toxicities, quality of life and overall mortality. Despite extensive research identifying the need for routine monitoring and management of hyperglycemia in oncology patients, medical societies have yet to establish formal screening guidelines for practitioners. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the outcomes of establishing a protocol for screening and …

Humanizing Engineering For Preservice Elementary Teachers Through Sustainable Engineering Stories, Jeffrey D. Radloff, Madison M. Morris, Jacob Pleasants

Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER)

Meeting the goals of US K–12 science education reform requires that preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) understand engineering as a specialized discipline and a human endeavor that addresses real-world issues. Yet in their formal education, few PSTs receive opportunities to learn about the humanistic dimensions of engineering: engineers’ personal values and motivations, the sociocultural nature of engineering work, and the societal significance of engineering. Storytelling about engineering offers a practical way to give PSTs access to these ideas. This study examines the impacts of integrating storytelling about engineering in a science methods course for future elementary school teachers. Over a two-year …

New Directions In Gear Up Stem Camps: How Activity Design Shapes Socio-Emotional And Stem Outcomes, Lilly Rogers

ATU Scholars Symposium

This mixed-methods study examined the impact of GEAR UP week-long middle-school STEM summer camp on students’ socio-emotional learning (SEL) and STEM engagement. Using pre- and post-intervention surveys (N = 45), an exploratory factor analysis identified two underlying competency dimensions: Socio-Emotional Skills and STEM Engagement & Spatial Skills. A repeated-measures MANOVA revealed a significant overall time effect; however, growth occurred only in Socio-Emotional Skills, which increased with a large effect size, F(1,44) = 29.28, p < .001, partial η² = .400, while STEM Engagement showed no significant change, F(1,44) = 0.89, p = .350

To understand this divergence, we analyzed 371 reflective journal entries from 42 students using thematic analysis. Eleven themes emerged, revealing that SEL gains were driven by …

Computational Approaches To Laser Alignment And Phase Correction, Joseph E. Temple

ATU Scholars Symposium

The goal of our work is to automate the tedious and delicate process of optical alignment (rotating mirrors, shifting lenses by millimeters, and iterating endlessly) in the context of generating vortex beams from a Gaussian laser beam. We create vortex beams by illuminating a digital hologram displayed on a spatial light modulator (SLM). Two main issues arise: misalignment and phase imperfections in the input beam. If the beam does not pass directly through the center of the SLM, or if it deviates from an ideal Gaussian profile, the resulting vortex beam becomes distorted.

Last semester, we developed two methods to …

Creating A Floating Volumetric Display, Joy Skaggs, Hope Skinner

ATU Scholars Symposium

The public has long been interested in futuristic technology, especially ‘holograms’ and their possibilities, evidenced by pop culture icons such as Iron Man and the popularity of the Sci-Fi Genre. The popular term ‘hologram’ actually describes the phenomenon of a volumetric display, where light is directed to form 3D forms in the air. Attempts to create these volumetric displays began as early as 1988 with creators like Gregg Favelora and Alan Sullivan. As technology improved, so too did the ability to make the futuristic ‘hologram’ a reality.

Another common form of these interactive holograms is the floating display, which may …

Interacting Dark Energy Models And The Cosmic Coincidence Problem, Gunner W. Hodges

ATU Scholars Symposium

Cosmological models are a tool used to understand the mysterious nature of dark energy and dark matter by predicting how these dark sector components have shaped the expansion of the universe. The cosmic coincidence problem stems from the present day densities of dark energy and matter sharing very similar magnitudes when previously we expect a much larger difference in orders of magnitude. The current best-fit model, ΛCDM , assumes dark energy is non-interacting; however, assuming that dark energy instead does interact could serve to alleviate this cosmic tension. We define an interaction where we relate the density of dark energy …
