2 Scott, KaliYou do you: A theoretical exploration of audience agency in theatreHow is audience agency implemented in today's theatre? What elements are used in this type of performance? How do audiences react to such experiences?2017
3 Yu, Zhou, Haan, Michael, Yi, ChengdongThe Inception of Housing Pathways in Urban China: The Declining Household Formation of Young Adults from 2011 to 2017The homeownership rate of young adults has surged to an unprecedented level in urban China, despite rising housing prices and significant rural-urban migration. A trend analysis of nationally representative microdata shows that household formation is the missing link in the paradox and that many you...Household formation; headship rates; young adults; migration; institutional barriers; housing pathways2017
4 Yu, ZhouHomeownership Attainment of Adult Children in Urban China: Parental Attributes and Financial SupportSoaring homeownership and housing prices have made it more difficult for newcomers to climb the housing ladder without parental support. This study relies on China Household Finance Survey microdata in 2015 to examine the role of parental attributes and financial support on adult children's homeowne...Demographics; Intergenerational mobility; Parental income transfers; Parental attributes2017
5 Jayamohan, HarikrishnanAdvances in microfluidics and lab on a chip technologiesAdvances in molecular biology are enabling rapid and efficient analyses for effective intervention in domains like biology research, infectious disease management, food safety and bio-defense. The emergence of microfluidics and nanotechnologies has enabled both new capabilities and instrument sizes ...Microfluidics; Lab on a chip; Point of care; PCR; Isothermal amplification; High resolution melting analysis; Cytogenetics; Protein detection; Next generation sequencing; Sample preparation; Library preparation; Cell sorting2017
6 Sung, Yun JuAn empirical comparison of meta-analysis and mega-analysis of individual participant data for identifying gene-environment interactionsMeta-analysis combining results from multiple studies is a standard practice in GWAS. For genetic main effects, meta-analysis has been shown to provide comparable results as mega-analysis that jointly analyzes the pooled data from the available studies. Gene-environment interaction (GEI) studies are...Gene-environment interactions2017
7 Witkowski, Alan; Neatrour, Anna; Myntti, Jeremy; McBride, BrianMassive newspaper migration - Moving 22 million records from CONTENTdm to SolphalUtah Digital Newspapers is a pioneering digital newspapers program at the University of Utah J. Willard Marriott Library. Recently, a small project team completed a successful migration away from CONTENTdm onto a home-grown system called Solphal, built using open-source applications. The migration p...Digital libraries; Systems migration2017
8 Rahman, AowabinPredicting electricity consumption for commercial and residential buildings using deep recurrent neural networksThis paper presents a recurrent neural network model to make medium-to-long term predictions, i.e. time horizon of ≥ 1 week, of electricity consumption profiles in commercial and residential buildings at one-hour resolution. Residential and commercial buildings are responsible for a significant fr...Building Energy Modeling; Machine learning; Recurrent neural networks; Deep learning; Electric load prediction2017
9 Bianchi, CarloEnergy demands for commercial buildings with climate variability based on emission scenariosThe impacts of a changing climate are wide-ranging in both impact and scope. This paper investigates the effect that realistic climate variability would have on building energy demands in Salt Lake City, UT to inform planning for air quality impacts. Energy demand scenarios were derived using climat...BEM; EnergyPlus; Emissions; Climate; Energy2017

11 Eddings, EricHydrothermal liquefaction of microalgae over transition metal supported TiO2 catalystHydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of microalgae Nannochloropsis (NAS) over various transition metal M/TiO2 (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, and Mn) was investigated. Ni/TiO2 was the most effective catalyst to improve the yield and quality of biocrude and the liquefaction conversion. Ni/TiO2 was characterized ...Hydrothermal liquefaction Microalgae; Catalyst; Biocrude; Ni/TiO22017
12 Dong, JiaweiConsolidation and permeability of flocculated kaolinite sedimentVast oil sand resources are located in the province of Alberta, Canada, where water-based oil sands extraction operations are found including extraction and separation of the bitumen from the clay, sand, and water. The production of each barrel of synthetic crude oil (SCO) requires 2 m3 of processe...Consolidation; Flocculation; Kaolinite; Permeability2017
13 Rashid, Khalid; Powell, KodyDynamic simulation, control, and design of a novel solar thermal hybrid power plantSolar power is among the promising technologies leading towards cleaner fuel. However, there are still technological challenges regarding the reliability of power generation due to its intermittency. This work demonstrates the synergies that exist in integrated hybrid systems, where a dispatchable f...Solar energy--Research; Solar thermal energy--Research; Solar power plants--Research2017
14 Lawton, Kristy J.Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generatorCentral patterns generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that drive rhythmic motor output without sensory feedback. Vertebrate CPGs are generally believed to operate in a top-down manner in which premotor interneurons activate motor neurons that in turn drive muscles. In contrast, the frog (Xenopus la...CPG; feed back; synchrony; vocal; vocalization; Xenopus2017
15 Neatrour, Anna; Myntti, Jeremy; Brunsvik, Matt; Witkowski, Alan; McBride, Brian; Maringanti, HarishA Clean Sweep: The Tools and Processes of a Successful Metadata MigrationIn 2016, the University of Utah's J. Willard Marriott Library migrated digital asset management systems from CONTENTdm, a vendor provided solution from OCLC, to Solphal, a homegrown system utilizing several open source tools. During the migration, issues with metadata led to a large-scale metadata c...Digital libraries; Systems migration2017
16 Mabey, Linda J.; Wheeler, Kathleen; Ronconi, Julia McDougal; Smith, Jackie A.What Do Psychiatric Advanced Practice Nurses Know About Trauma Treatment?APRNs have identified the need for psychotherapy training to treat psychological trauma. APRN graduate programs should evaluate their curriculum and increase content on the treatment of psychological trauma using evidenced-based psychotherapy models.advanced practice psychiatric nurse, education, psychotherapy, trauma2017
17 Eddings, EricHydrothermal liquefaction of high protein microalgae via clay material catalystsHydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a promising method to convert wet microalgae into a petroleum-like biocrude. In this paper, we demonstrated the HTL of microalgae Spirulina over various clay material catalysts and open up interesting perspectives for efficiently liquefaction processes.
