title: Using Intersectionality to Enhance and Mitigate Group Threats
Creators: name: Becker, Jeremy R.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
Much of the research studying stereotypes and prejudice focuses on a single social category (e.g., race or gender). Intersectionality research allows for multiple social categories to be evaluated together. The current work investigates whether emotions that are linked to outgroup threats (Cottrell and Neuberg, 2005) can be manipulated by intersecting different groups with one another. I proposed two hypotheses derived from a single theory. The Threat Enhancement Hypothesis of Intersectionality predicts that intersections comprised of categories that share a threat profile will be more threatening than either of the individual categories. The Threat Mitigation Hypothesis of Intersectionality predicts that intersections comprised of categories whose stereotypes counter one another will be less threatening than either of it’s individual categories. Additionally, these hypotheses predict that intersections with the same threat profile will be more (hypothesis 1) threatening than intersections comprised of groups with different threat profiles, and that intersections whose stereotypes counter one another (hypothesis 2) will be less threatening than intersections comprised of groups with different threat profiles. Results indicated social categories cannot be added (hypothesis 1), nor can they fully mitigate a threat below individual categories (hypothesis 2). However, threat-specific combinations better manipulate perceived threat levels.

description: In recent days, Deep Learning (DL) techniques have become an emerging transformation in the field of machine learning, artificial intelligence, computer vision, and so on. Subsequently, researchers and industries have been highly endorsed in the medical field, predicting and controlling diverse diseases at specific intervals. Liver tumor prediction is a vital chore in analyzing and treating liver diseases. This paper proposes a novel approach for predicting liver tumors using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and a depth-based variant search algorithm with advanced attention mechanisms (CNN-DS-AM). The proposed work aims to improve accuracy and robustness in diagnosing and treating liver diseases. The anticipated model is assessed on a Computed Tomography (CT) scan dataset containing both benign and malignant liver tumors. The proposed approach achieved high accuracy in predicting liver tumors, outperforming other state-of-the-art methods. Additionally, advanced attention mechanisms were incorporated into the CNN model to enable the identification and highlighting of regions of the CT scans most relevant to predicting liver tumors. The results suggest that incorporating attention mechanisms and a depth-based variant search algorithm into the CNN model is a promising approach for improving the accuracy and robustness of liver tumor prediction. It can assist radiologists in their diagnosis and treatment planning. The proposed system achieved a high accuracy of 95.5% in predicting liver tumors, outperforming other state-of-the-art methods.

description: Our ability to extract information from the spectra of stars depends on reliable models of stellar atmospheres and appropriate techniques for spectral synthesis. Various model codes and strategies for the analysis of stellar spectra are available today. We aim to compare the results of deriving stellar parameters using different atmosphere models and different analysis strategies. The focus is set on high-resolution spectroscopy of cool giant stars. Spectra representing four cool giant stars were made available to various groups and individuals working in the area of spectral synthesis, asking them to derive stellar parameters from the data provided. The results were discussed at a workshop in Vienna in 2010. Most of the major codes currently used in the astronomical community for analyses of stellar spectra were included in this experiment. We present the results from the different groups, as well as an additional experiment comparing the synthetic spectra produced by various codes for a given set of stellar parameters. Similarities and differences of the results are discussed. Several valid approaches to analyze a given spectrum of a star result in quite a wide range of solutions. The main causes for the differences in parameters derived by different groups seem to lie in the physical input data and in the details of the analysis method. This clearly shows how far from a definitive abundance analysis we still are.

description: A program evaluation was conducted for Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada ("VMSN"), founded just over 10-years ago by a group of passionate and concerned citizens whose mission statement and goal is "to provide quality health care and support for people without access to health care in Southern Nevada within a culture of caring." This report serves as the completed program evaluation for VMSN, and includes analytical findings and recommendations that VMSN may incorporate and develop into their organization to help further improve their services for the Southern Nevada community.
After careful review, it was determined that the scope of this program evaluation would consist of research, qualitative and quantitative analysis, leading to recommendations for two vitally important aspects of VMSN's operations:
1. How can VMSN increase the recruitment rates of licensed professional volunteers?
2. How can VMSN increase the retention rates of licensed professional volunteers?
The methodology utilized for the program evaluation included a mixed method design of both qualitative and quantitative research tools. The primary methodological approach used to determine the best methods and practices for VMSN to carry out in their future recruitment and retention efforts of licensed professional volunteers was through the use of survey instruments.
The first dataset, collected by VMSN with their original survey instrument, was originated and distributed by VMSN in January 2018, but results had not yet been analyzed or quantified ("VMSN Original Volunteer Survey"). In addition to VMSN's original survey, this program evaluation developed two additional survey instruments: the "Current Volunteer Survey" and "Previous Volunteer Survey," wherein carefully designed survey questions were developed so that analytical techniques could be utilized to capture and analyze the results.
The following overview of recommendations are based on a timeline of actions VMSN can adopt in the short-term (to be completed in the next six months), medium-term (six months to three years) and long-term (three years and beyond). The following is a brief outline, which will be explained in greater detail within Section 6, which contains the comprehensive Recommendation section of this program evaluation.

description: We review some occurrences of Painlevé II transcendents in the study of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, fluctuation formulas for growth models, and as distribution functions within random matrix theory. We first discuss settings in which the parameter $α$ in the Painlevé equation is zero, and the boundary condition is that of the Hasting-MacLeod solution. As well as expressions involving the Painlevé transcendent itself, one encounters the sigma form of the Painlevé II equation, and Lax pair equations in which the Painlevé transcendent occurs as coefficients. We then consider settings which give rise to general $α$ Painlevé II transcendents. In a particular random matrix setting, new results for the corresponding boundary conditions in the cases $α= \pm 1/2$, 1 and 2 are presented.

description: To understand the relation between NH$_2$D and its physical environment, we mapped ortho-NH$_2$D $1_{11}^s-1_{01}^a$ at 85.9 GHz toward 24 Galactic late-stage massive star-forming regions with Institut de Radioastronomie Millim$ é$trique (IRAM) 30-m telescope. Ortho-NH$_2$D $1_{11}^s-1_{01}^a$ was detected in 18 of 24 sources. Comparing with the distribution of H$^{13}$CN 1-0 as a dense gas tracer and radio recombination line H42$α$, ortho-NH$_2$D $1_{11}^s-1_{01}^a$ present complex and diverse spatial distribution in these targets. 11 of the 18 targets, present a different distribution between ortho-NH$_2$D $1_{11}^s-1_{01}^a$ and H$^{13}$CN 1-0, while no significant difference between these two lines can be found in the other 7 sources, mainly due to limited spatial resolution and sensitivity. Moreover, with H42$α$ tracing massive young stellar objects, ortho-NH$_2$D $1_{11}^s-1_{01}^a$ seems to show a relatively weak emission near the massive young stellar objects.

description: We investigate the evolution of a FRW model fuelled by a modified Chaplygin gas with an equation of state $p = Aρ-\frac{B}{ρ^α}$. An attempt is made here to constrain the free parameters of MCG model through the wellknown contour plot technique using observational data. The permissible range of values of the pair of free parameters are determined to study the viability of cosmological models \emph{vis-a-vis} observational results. Aside from allowing the desirable feature of \emph{flip} of the sign of deceleration parameter we also find that the transition from the decelerating to the accelerating phase occurs at relatively low value of redshift in accordance with the observational prediction that the acceleration is a recent phenomenon. It is found that the effective acoustic speed may become imaginary depending upon the initial conditions signalling that perturbations associated with instability sets in resulting in structure formation. As one considers more negative values of $A$ the \emph{flip} in sign is delayed resulting the density parameter to change fast. Again it is found from the contour plot that compatibility with observational results is admitted with a value of $A$ which is very near to zero or a small negative number.

description: Josephson tunneling in twisted cuprate junctions provides a litmus test for the pairing symmetry, which is fundamental for understanding the microscopic mechanism of high temperature superconductivity. This issue is rekindled by experimental advances in van der Waals stacking and the proposal of an emergent d+id-wave. So far, all experiments have been carried out on Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$ (Bi-2212) with double CuO$_2$ planes but show controversial results. Here, we investigate junctions made of Bi$_2$Sr$_{2-x}$La$_x$CuO$_{6+y}$ (Bi-2201) with single CuO$_2$ planes. Our on-site cold stacking technique ensures uncompromised crystalline quality and stoichiometry at the interface. Junctions with carefully calibrated twist angles around 45° show strong Josephson tunneling and conventional temperature dependence. Furthermore, we observe standard Fraunhofer diffraction patterns and integer Fiske steps in a junction with a twist angle of 45.0$\pm$0.2°. Together, these results pose strong constraints on the d or d+id-wave pairing and suggest an indispensable isotropic pairing component.

The Design, Modeling, and Optimization of a Biomimetic Soft Robot for Fluid Pumping and Thrust Generation Using Electroactive Polymer Actuators
Creators: name: Olsen, Zakai Jedidiah
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Nature is a constant source of inspiration for engineers and scientists through its simple, effective, and elegant solutions to many complex problems. Smart materials and soft robotics have been seen to be particularly well suited for developing biomimetic devices and are active fields of research. In this study, the design, modeling, and optimization of a new biomimetic soft robot is described. Preliminary work was made in the modeling of a biomimetic robot based on the locomotion and kinematics of jellyfish. Modifications were made to the governing equations for jellyfish locomotion that accounted for geometric differences between biology and the robotic design. Particularly, the capability of the model to account for the mass and geometry of the robot design. A simple geometrically defined model is developed and used to show the feasibility of a proposed biomimetic robot. With the concept verified, a more robust physics- based model is developed. In this model, linear beam theory is coupled to an equivalent circuit model to actuate the robot with ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) actuators. The circuit model is verified using a robust, Multiphysics finite element model of the IPMC actuator. The newly created physics-based model of the soft robot is compared to that of the geometric model as well as biological jellyfish swimming to highlight its improved efficiency. The design is then optimized using a sequential quadratic programming algorithm for nonlinear multivariable optimization. Standard deviations of the optimized values are used to verify their accuracy, and the propulsion efficiency of the unoptimized and optimized model are compared to verify the improvement in efficiency and overall performance. Scale effects on the optimal design are also examined as an initial form of dimensional analysis. The optimized design shows clear improvement over the unoptimized counterpart, and the modularity of the modeling approach allows for more complex models that include nonlinearities to be easily added.

description: We describe the motivation, design and implementation of the CORNISH survey, an arcsecond resolution radio continuum survey of the inner Galactic plane at 5 GHz using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). It is a blind survey co-ordinated with the northern Spitzer GLIMPSE I region covering 10 deg < l < 65 deg and |b| < 1 deg at similar resolution. We discuss in detail the strategy that we employed to control the shape of the synthesised beam across this survey that covers a wide range of fairly low declinations. Two snapshots separated by 4 hours in hour angle kept the beam elongation to less that 1.5 over 75% of the survey area and less than 2 over 98% of the survey. The prime scientific motivation is to provide an unbiased survey for ultra-compact HII regions to study this key phase in massive star formation. A sensitivity around 2 mJy will allow the automatic distinction between radio loud and quiet mid-IR sources found in the Spitzer surveys. This survey has many legacy applications beyond star formation including evolved stars, active stars and binaries, and extragalactic sources. The CORNISH survey for compact ionized sources complements other Galactic plane surveys that target diffuse and non-thermal sources as well as atomic and molecular phases to build up a complete picture of the ISM in the Galaxy.

description: We report on a discovery of "negative" superhumps during the 2011 January superoutburst of ER UMa. During the superoutburst which started on 2011 January 16, we detected negative superhumps having a period of 0.062242(9) d, shorter than the orbital period by 2.2%. No evidence of positive superhumps was detected during this observation. This finding indicates that the disk exhibited retrograde precession during this superoutburst, contrary to all other known cases of superoutbursts. The duration of this superoutburst was shorter than those of ordinary superoutbursts and the intervals of normal outbursts were longer than ordinary ones. We suggest a possibility that such unusual outburst properties are likely a result of the disk tilt, which is supposed to be a cause of negative superhumps: the tilted disk could prevent the disk from being filled with materials in the outmost region which is supposed to be responsible for long-duration superoutbursts in ER UMa-type dwarf novae. The discovery signifies the importance of the classical prograde precession in sustaining long-duration superoutbursts. Furthermore, the presence of pronounced negative superhumps in this system with a high mass-transfer rate favors the hypothesis that hydrodynamical lift is the cause of the disk tilt.

A Novel Approach to Analyzing Strain Heterogeneity in Polycrystalline Quartz Specimens Deformed at High Pressure and Temperature
Creators: name: Regis, Nolan Ambrose
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Rheological studies of rocks and minerals allow researchers to study the grain-scale deformation mechanisms that govern large-scale geologic processes from mountain building to mantle mixing. Deforming rock samples with high pressure and temperature apparatuses similar to the Griggs piston cylinder apparatus allows us to simulate deformation at depth. However, many apparatuses are limited to "cook-and-look" analysis and require modeling techniques to determine the evolution of deformation patterns found in experimental samples. A previous study used two-dimensional finite element models to analyze the development of stress and strain patterns in polycrystalline rocks. The study suggested rhythmic patterns in deformed rocks develop as a result of stress percolating through the elastically and plastically disordered system. Furthermore, similar strain heterogeneities have been observed using 2D digital image correlation software that measures strain in experimentally deformed materials using computer algorithms that track incremental changes in optical images. This study used slabs of tiger's-eye, a quartz aggregate made up of stacked columnar grains, to simplify the geometry of the material deforming in the Griggs apparatus. By modifying the traditional sample assembly from cylindrical to parallelepiped, I developed a method to use 2D digital image correlation for strain mapping of samples deformed at high pressure and track the microstructural changes within specific sets of grains before and after deformation with grain contrast imaging.

description: Sparse representation of astronomical images is discussed. It is shown that a significant gain in sparsity is achieved when particular mixed dictionaries are used for approximating these types of images with greedy selection strategies. Experiments are conducted to confirm: i)Effectiveness at producing sparse representations. ii)Competitiveness, with respect to the time required to process large images.The latter is a consequence of the suitability of the proposed dictionaries for approximating images in partitions of small blocks.This feature makes it possible to apply the effective greedy selection technique Orthogonal Matching Pursuit, up to some block size. For blocks exceeding that size a refinement of the original Matching Pursuit approach is considered. The resulting method is termed Self Projected Matching Pursuit, because is shown to be effective for implementing, via Matching Pursuit itself, the optional back-projection intermediate steps in that approach.

Integrated Casino Resort Plan in Korea: The Perception of Korean Government Representatives
Creators: name: Lee, Donghwa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: The Asian casino market has been rapidly expanding in recent years as evidenced by the success of recently built integrated resorts (IR) in Macau. In light of the successes in Macau, the Korean government has decided to allow an IR to be built near the Incheon International Airport in Korea. The airport, with its great number of transient passengers, provides ample potential customers for the proposed IR. Combining the two factors of Asian casino market growth, and the high number of potential customers, the Incheon IR has a great chance for success.
The Korean government entertained bids from two different companies for the business license for the Incheon IR, Caesars Entertainment and Paradise-Sega Sammy. Based on business experience, capital, and size, the two companies were very comparable. The eventual winner of the business license was Paradise-Sega Sammy.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that led to the choice of Paradise-Sega Sammy as the winner. This research will investigate the extent to which the personal opinions of government officials impacted the award decision. It will also uncover which of the opinions had the most influence on the decision.
The researcher conducted interviews with select Korean government representatives and collect their opinions. This qualitative approach will allow for a deeper understanding of the decision criteria. This research will provide value through the insights discovered, thus enabling future businesses to be better prepared to enter the Korean casino market.

We have proposed a zero-shot prompt-based strategy for explainable evaluation of the summarization task using Large Language Models (LLMs). The conducted experiments demonstrate the promising potential of LLMs as evaluation metrics in Natural Language Processing (NLP), particularly in the field of summarization. Both few-shot and zero-shot approaches are employed in these experiments. The performance of our best provided prompts achieved a Kendall correlation of 0.477 with human evaluations in the text summarization task on the test data. Code and results are publicly available on GitHub.

description: We show magnetotransport results on Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$)$_2$As$_2$ ($0.0 \leq x \leq 0.13$) single crystals. We identify the low temperature resistance step at 23 K in the parent compound with the onset of filamentary superconductivity (FLSC), which is suppressed by an applied magnetic field in a similar manner to the suppression of bulk superconductivity (SC) in doped samples. FLSC is found to persist across the phase diagram until the long range antiferromagnetic order is completely suppressed. A significant suppression of FLSC occurs for $0.02

Transport Properties of Nano-Silica Contained Self-Consolidating Concrete
Creators: name: Moradi, Borhan

description: In this research study, transport properties of various self-consolidating concretes (SCCs) containing nano-particles (SiO2) were investigated. Nano-silica replaced a portion of the cementitious materials at different replacement levels ranging from 1.5 to 7.5% by weight. For the purpose of this investigation, flow, bulk, and transport properties of SCCs were studied. The investigated transport properties were absorption, water penetration, rapid chloride permeability, capillary absorption, rapid migration, and chloride diffusion. Transport properties of nano-silica SCCs were also compared to those of equivalent silica fume (micro silica) contained concretes, as well as those of control mixture (concrete without nano or micro silica).
Test results showed that all transport properties of SCCs improved with inclusion of nano-silica. Improvement in transport properties increased with increases of nano-silica replacing a portion of cementitious materials, as well as extension of curing age. A comparison of transport properties between nano-silica contained SCCs and their equivalent silica fume (micro silica) contained SCCs revealed a slightly better performance for concretes containing silica fume at both studied curing ages. This finding was primarily attributed to agglomeration of nano-silica particles during mixing process.

description: In Cloud Computing Architecture, Brokers are responsible to provide services to the end users. An Effective Cost Management System (ECMS) which works over Secure Cloud Communication Paradigm (SCCP) helps in finding a communication link with overall minimum cost of links. We propose an improved Broker Cloud Communication Paradigm (BCCP) with integration of security issues. Two algorithms are included, first is Secure Optimized Route Cost Finder (S-ORCF) to find optimum route between broker and cloud on the behalf of cost factor and second is Secure Optimized Route Management (S-ORM) to maintain optimum route. These algorithms proposed with cryptographic integrity of the secure route discovery process in efficient routing approaches between broker and cloud. There is lack in Dynamic Source Routing Approach to verify whether any intermediate node has been deleted, inserted or modified with no valid authentication. We use symmetric cryptographic primitives, which is made possible due to multisource broadcast encryption scheme. This paper outlines the use of secure route discovery protocol (SRDP)that employs such a security paradigm in cloud computing.

Cyg X-3: a Galactic double black hole or black hole-neutron star progenitor

description: There are no known double black hole (BH-BH) or black hole-neutron star (BH-NS) systems. We argue that Cyg X-3 is a very likely BH-BH or BH-NS progenitor. This Galactic X-ray binary consists of a compact object, wind-fed by a Wolf-Rayet (WR) type companion. Based on a comprehensive analysis of observational data, it was recently argued that Cyg X-3 harbors a 2-4.5 Msun BH and a 7.5-14.2 Msun WR companion. We find that the fate of such a binary leads to the prompt (<1 Myr) formation of a close BH-BH system for the high end of the allowed WR mass (M_WR>13 Msun). For the low- to mid-mass range of the WR star (M_WR=7-10 Msun) Cyg X-3 is most likely (probability 70%) disrupted when WR ends up as a supernova. However, with smaller probability, it may form a wide (15%) or a close (15%) BH-NS system. The advanced LIGO/VIRGO detection rate for mergers of BH-BH systems from the Cyg X-3 formation channel is 10 per year, while it drops down to 0.1 per year for BH-NS systems. If Cyg X-3 in fact hosts a low mass BH and massive WR star, it lends additional support for the existence of BH-BH/BH-NS systems.

Development and Testing of the Home Safety and Beautification Checklist with Mothers Referred for Child Neglect and Substance Abuse

description: Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death among children in the United States accounting for nearly 40 percent of deaths in this age group. Approximately 50 percent of nonfatal injuries, and 40 percent of fatalities, occur in and around the home. Elevated rates of child injury in the home environment are associated with parental substance abuse and neglectful behaviors. Childhood injuries are preventable, yet practical and cost-effective measures to identify child home safety risks are limited. This study involved a retrospective preliminary examination of the Home Safety and Beautification Checklist (HSBC) in a sample of drug-abusing mothers referred by Child Protective Services for child neglect (N = 77). The HSBC assesses child safety hazards and cleanliness and aesthetic problems in the home, and was implemented by trained assessors as part of a baseline assessment in a larger treatment outcome study. In doing so, assessors rate rooms in the home on nine categories designed to evaluate safety (toxins, electrical, sharp objects, food and nutrition needs, home access/security, heavy/tipsy objects, small objects, problems with air quality, and other), and two categories designed to evaluate cleanliness (needs clean-up and aesthetic needs). The participants also provide ratings of the safety and appearance of each room in their homes. This study was conducted to expand the current literature on practical measures to identify child home safety and appearance problems. Specifically, it examined the psychometric properties of the HSBC utilized to detect the severity of child safety hazards and aesthetic concerns when implemented in the at-risk homes of mothers referred for substance abuse and child neglect. Overall, it was determined that the HSBC had good psychometric properties and its development is a particularly useful outcome of this research.

description: In this work, we investigate the microstructure of asymptotically flat black holes with Ruppeiner curvature. Specially, the cosmological constant is considered to have a fluctuation around 0. Under such consideration, both repulsive and attractive interactions are found in the Reissner-Nordström and Kerr black holes, while the Schwarzschild black hole has dominant attractive interaction. The result obtained is quite different from that of excluding the fluctuation of cosmological constant, where these black holes are found to be always characterised by repulsive interaction.

title: A Systematic Review of Mindfulness Interventions’ Impact on Athlete Emotional Distress & Wellbeing

Subjects: subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Mindfulness-based interventions’ (MBIs) effectiveness for improving wellbeing and reducing emotional distress is well-documented in both clinical and non-clinical sections of the general population (McAlarnen & Longshore, 2017). Although mindfulness has been shown to be effective with these populations, less is known about the specific effects for athletes. The effects of MBI’s for athletes may be different given that the intention for MBIs in the sport context is typically to improve performance, where in most other contexts it is not (Gardner & Moore, 2012). Furthermore, athletes are a distinct population who possess unique factors on which their wellbeing and mental health depend, therefore MBIs may affect them differently. Given this potential difference in impact, the current systematic review sought to determine how MBIs affect athletes’ emotional distress and wellbeing outcomes (positive, negative, or no significant effect), whether there is a difference between athletes and non-athletes in terms of these outcomes, and finally whether there is a difference between sport-specific versus nonsport-specific MBIs in terms of these outcomes. Results from the systematic review revealed that the impact MBIs have on athletes’ wellbeing and emotional distress outcomes do not yet have evidence to support their effectiveness. Potential explanations for the findings are discussed.

Chern-Simons Forms in Gravitation Theories

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Chern-Simons (CS) form evolved from an obstruction in mathematics into an important object in theoretical physics. In fact, the presence of CS terms in physics is more common than one may think: they seem to play an important role in high Tc superconductivity and in recently discovered topological insulators. In classical physics, the minimal coupling in electromagnetism and to the action for a mechanical system in Hamiltonian form are examples of CS functionals. CS forms are also the natural generalization of the minimal coupling between the electromagnetic field and a point charge when the source is not point-like but an extended fundamental object, a membrane. They are found in relation with anomalies in quantum field theories, and as Lagrangians for gauge fields, including gravity and supergravity. A cursory review of the role of CS forms in gravitation theories is presented at an introductory level.
