description: The multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) model uses a linear combination of Slater determinants to approximate the electronic $N$-body wave function of a relativistic molecular system, resulting in a coupled system of nonlinear eigenvalue equations, the MCDF equations. In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions of these equations in the weakly relativistic regime. First, using a new variational principle as well as results of Lewin on the multiconfiguration nonrelativistic model, and Esteban and Séré on the single-configuration relativistic model, we prove the existence of critical points for the associated energy functional, under the constraint that the occupation numbers are not too small. Then, this constraint can be removed in the weakly relativistic regime, and we obtain non-constrained critical points, i.e. solutions of the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock equations.

description: In current scenario cloud computing is most widely increasing platform for task execution. Lot of research is going on to cut down the cost and execution time. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to have an effective and fast execution of task assigned by the user. We proposed an effective communication framework between broker and virtual machine for assigning the task and fetching the results in optimum time and cost using Broker Virtual Machine Communication Framework (BVCF). We implement it over cloudsim under VM scheduling policies by modification based on Virtual Machine Cost. Scheduling over Virtual Machine as well as over Cloudlets and Retransmission of Cloudlets are the basic building blocks of the proposed work on which the whole architecture is dependent. Execution of cloudlets is being analyzed over Round Robin and FCFS scheduling policy.

title: Probing the Hydrodesulfurization Properties of Nickel-Rich Bimetallic Phosphides: Supported Catalysts and Encapsulated Nanoparticles
Creators: name: Danforth, Samuel J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2015

description:
The need for improved hydrodesulfurization (HDS) and hydrodenitrogenation (HDN) catalysts is being driven by increasingly demanding requirements for ultralow sulfur fuels and by the fact that sulfur levels in crude oil have been trending upward over recent decades. Current industrial catalysts are based on molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) and its highly anisotropic structure severely limits the number of exposed active sites. Transition metal phosphides (e.g. Ni2P/SiO2) are a new class of materials with promise to have improved properties relative to sulfided Ni-Mo/Al2O3 catalysts. The addition of a second metal can have large effects on the electronic and surface properties of a catalyst, which in turn can heavily influence its catalytic properties. Nickel-cobalt and nickel-iron phosphide catalysts (Ni2-xMxP, 0 ≤ x ≤ 2) are being investigated to determine the effect of cobalt and iron on the HDS properties of bimetallic phosphides of nickel. Catalysts prepared via conventional preparation methods using metal phosphate precursors supported on silica, and reduced by temperature programed reduction (TPR) are compared with solution-prepared metal phosphide nanoparticles that were subsequently encapsulated in a mesoporous silica shell to form core@shell nanostructures. Infrared spectra of adsorbed CO on the Ni2-xMxP catalyst surfaces show two significant peaks, one is attributed to CO bound to surface nickel atoms, while the second, smaller peak is attributed to CO bound to surface phosphorous atoms. As the second metal is added into the crystal lattice there is a shift to lower wavenumbers of the absorbance due to CO bonded to surface nickel atoms. This may indicate electron donation from cobalt to nickel, making for more electron-rich binding sites. The catalysts were tested for HDS activity and selectivity using dibenzothiophene and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene. The trends in catalyst activities and turnover frequencies with Co and Fe content will be described and discussed in the context of the characterization results.
title: Mechanisms of Inverted Seismic Multiplets
Creators: name: Brann, Joel
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
In seismology, multiplets are a series of earthquakes with similar waveforms that are thought to represent a repeating process occurring at the same location. A few studies have previously identified multiplets with waveforms that are inverted relative to one another; here termed inverted multiplets (IMs).For this study, several data sets were searched for additional examples of IMs, including earthquake swarms associated with a volcanic eruption (Mt. Spurr), a dike intrusion (Nechako Basin), dome building (Mt. St. Helens), and times of no volcanic or magmatic activity (Piton de la Fournaise [PDLF], Mt. Spurr). Source mechanisms are determined to describe what could possibly cause this phenomenon. The results suggest there are many ways to produce an IM, but that most of the viable mechanisms relate to dike intrusion. The existence of IMs in a region could be an indicator of a dike intrusion and lead to a greater understanding of subsurface processes.

Nonmonotonicity in Absolute and Relative Preferences for Real and Imagined Rewards

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: A key assumption in many studies examining valuation of reward is that participants' preferences for various rewards are meaningfully, monotonically ordered with respect to other possible rewards. However, this assumption has not been systematically tested. Two studies consisting of 74 undergraduates from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and 122 community members demonstrated nonmonotonic reward preferences when provided with parametrically varied reward magnitudes. Although deficits in reward processing are believed to be a key feature of depression, depressed participants were more willing to work hard for rewards and exhibited more monotonic reward preferences than non-depressed participants. Relative to imaginary rewards, participants were more willing to work for real money and spent more time making decisions when there was a possibility of earning real money.

description: Kondo impurities provide a nontrivial probe to unravel the character of the excitations of a quantum spin liquid. In the S=1/2 Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice, Kondo impurities embedded in the spin-liquid host can be screened by itinerant Majorana fermions via gauge-flux binding. Here, we report experimental signatures of metallic-like Kondo screening at intermediate temperatures in the Kitaev honeycomb material α-RuCl3 with dilute Cr3+ (S=3/2) impurities. The static magnetic susceptibility, the muon Knight shift, and the muon spin-relaxation rate all feature logarithmic divergences, a hallmark of a metallic Kondo effect. Concurrently, the linear coefficient of the magnetic specific heat is large in the same temperature regime, indicating the presence of a host Majorana metal. This observation opens new avenues for exploring uncharted Kondo physics in insulating quantum magnets.

title: Impacts of WeChat on Millennials' Perceptions and Consumption Behaviors in the Hotel Industry
Creators: name: Cai, Mengqi
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Social media, known as interactive Web 2.0 Internet-based applications, has deeply changed and reformed interpersonal communication and business operation with the wide spread of Internet and the development of technology. In the past few years, since mobile apps are becoming more and more popular, the access of social media is not limited to tablet computers only, but is also available for almost all kinds of smart phone devices, such as iPhone, Android, Symbian and so on. The function of social media is not confined to real- time message transmission or information sharing any more. It has expanded to a widely range of features, such as online purchase and payment, e-commerce business, and service for different types of social events.
Social media plays an increasingly important role in daily personal life as well as in business activities. People are not merely considered as social media users, but also the component of social media itself. As a result, it is very crucial for people to realize the importance and impacts of social media, especially for those business operators.
WeChat (Weixin in Chinses, literally "micro message") is a cross-platform instant text and voice messaging communication service for multiple mobile devices, developed by Tecent in China, first released in the January of 2011. It is claimed to provide "the new way to connect" and create "a way of life". It is free to download, install and register, and support all kinds of smart phone platforms with multiple language versions, such as Chinese, English, Japanese, French, and Spanish. WeChat provides its users different ways to communicate and interact with friends innovatively through instant text messaging, hold-to-talk voice messaging, group messaging, lively video sharing, location sharing, money transferring, and contact information sharing.
Among all the WeChat users, Millennials is the majority. With the growing-up of Millennials, they are becoming more and more powerful and important to the society and will be the next target segmentation for most of the industries in the very near future. Especially for the hotel industry, the industry that urges to attract Millennials patrons for further substantial development, how to attract Millennials is becoming a critical issue for those hotel operators.

description: Antiferromagnetic (AF) topological materials offer a fertile ground to explore a variety of quantum phenomena such as axion magnetoelectric dynamics and chiral Majorana fermions. To realize such intriguing states, it is essential to establish a direct link between electronic states and topology in the AF phase, whereas this has been challenging because of the lack of a suitable materials platform. Here we report the experimental realization of the AF topological-insulator phase in NdBi. By using micro-focused angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we discovered contrasting surface electronic states for two types of AF domains; the surface having the out-of-plane component in the AF-ordering vector displays Dirac-cone states with a gigantic energy gap, whereas the surface parallel to the AF-ordering vector hosts gapless Dirac states despite the time-reversal-symmetry breaking. The present results establish an essential role of combined symmetry to protect massless Dirac fermions under the presence of AF order and widen opportunities to realize exotic phenomena utilizing AF topological materials.

description: We show that a finite Hall effect in zero applied magnetic field occurs for partially filled bands in certain time-reversal violating states with zero net flux per unit-cell. These states are the Magneto-chiral states with parameters in the effective one-particle Hamiltonian such that they do not satisfy the Haldane-type constraints for topological electronic states. The results extend an earlier discussion of the Kerr effect observed in the cuprates but may be applicable to other experimental situations.

title: Examining the High-End Gaming Segment: Toward a Shift in Market Focus
Creators: name: Wu, Jiaqi
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: The Las Vegas gaming and hospitality industry has seen many changes over the last two decades. For the longest time, casinos were illegal everywhere except in Nevada, and gambling was viewed as a vice. It was not until the 1970s when attitudes started to shift. The Nevada Gaming Control Board was established to oversee and govern many aspects of the business, in order to promote the industry and reduce the perceived negative social impacts. LVCVA (Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority) also strategically promotes the city as the ideal tourist destination. Las Vegas has now become a highly competitive tourist destination.
Due to the increased competition, casinos operators need to constantly optimize their operations in order to stay ahead. It is imperative for them to find the best talent for their show stages, design and build bigger and better amenities for guests, and come up with innovative gaming products and services. At the same time, these casino operators also need to ask themselves how to focus their marketing efforts. Casinos generally segment their business into several distinct groups. Guests can be gaming or non-gaming. Gaming guests can be slot players, table games players, or poker players. They can be local, domestic, or international. They can be further separated into mass or high-end guests. Each segment is different in terms of the amount and type of business they bring as well as the marketing efforts required.
High-end gaming has long been a focus of casinos. Historically, it has been a large source of bottom-line profit. Indeed, whales and premium players may represent only a small fraction of gamblers while accounting for a large share, if not a majority, of gross gaming revenues. As long as casinos can narrow their focus and attend to these key players, they can expect to make profit from them. The problem is that like most customers, high-end players also know how to shop around for the best deals. Given the highly competitive market in Las Vegas, casinos will undercut one another to attract these players. In the end, maybe it is the player who ends up with the edge.
Memories of Three Rivers
Creators: name: Ogundimu, Olufunke
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Memories of Three Rivers is set in twelfth-century Oyo, Borgu, and Nupe, three kingdoms, in present-day Togo, Benin, and Nigeria that co-existed along the lower bend of the River Niger. In my re-imagining of the lives of my main characters, deified in West Africa and
the African diaspora, I peeled away myths, legends, and centuries to reveal their humanity while being aware and true to unique customs, religions, philosophies, and storytelling traditions.
Sango's seven-year rule was a period of trade and wars and this is depicted in the dynamic and often catastrophic relationships that existed between the courts of the three kingdoms, and in the snapshots of the lives of common people.
Esu, the divine messenger and Yoruba trickster Orisa, and the Arokin, palace oral historians, weave Yoruba philosophy and mythology throughout the manuscript providing a backdrop for this complex culture and its ways of storytelling and archiving. The Arokin also
bring to the page other views of those seven years, the official, religious, and people's versions of history.
Memories of Three Rivers follows the journeys of Oba, Oya, and Osun to Borgu three capitals, Bussa, Ilo, and Nikki, and Nupe's main groups, the Beni and Jeba. The women send their merchandise across many waters and whenever the need arises to protect their interests in their husbands' court, they gather information and seek allies.
Oba the Orisa of domesticity, Osun the Orisa of femininity, and Oya the Orisa of winds are Ayaba, wives of Sango the Orisa of lightning and thunderÑthe Third Alaafin Oyo. Memories of Three Rivers briefly touches on the women's origins, childhoods, infertility, and eventual motherhood. Oba was born near the swamps at Igbon, she was wise and industrious. Beautiful and sultry Osun was from Ilesa and she divined with sixteen palm fruits. Oya was born in the Island of Jeba and became a buffalo woman as she came into her power as the bridge between death and the ancestors. The women traded in markets far and near, fought battles among themselves in the women's quarters of the Aafin, and fought from Sango's side in his ten wars.
Yoruba oral history archived in the memories of generations of Oyo Arokin, Orunmila's 256 books of the Odu Ifa, and Alejo Carpentier's The Kingdom of This World provide the literary framework for this work. I hope this thesis will contribute to the muted conversations about the three Ayaba of Sango and their legacies, further enriching the oral archives of the Yoruba.

Miocene-Quaternary Deformation along the Central Maynard Lake Fault, Pahranagat Shear Zone, Nevada
Creators: name: Peck, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: The left-lateral Pahranagat shear zone (PSZ) and Caliente-Enterprise zone (CEZ) exist at the boundary between two sub-provinces, the Northern (NBR) and Central Basin and Range (CBR). The PSZ contains three major ENE striking sinistral faults, including the Maynard Lake fault (MLF), which is the longest fault and marks the southern boundary of the zone. The PSZ has been suggested to be a transfer zone, but little is known about the structures along these major faults that are involved in strain transfer. These left-lateral systems exist within the Central Nevada seismic belt which has experienced significant earthquakes in recent history. Possible earthquake nucleation sites may exist along active portions of the MLF. Structures along the fault zone such as step-overs can influence the magnitude of an earthquake that could pose a risk to populated areas proximal to these faults. This Thesis focuses on the PSZ's role at the subprovince boundary, and in particular MLF to determine what structures exist along the zone, how they are involved in strain transfer and potential for earthquakes.
Map and field data suggest that the central MLF is active; it offsets Quaternary units and may pose an earthquake hazard. A resurgent fan cut by the MLF formed within the last ~10,000 years as recorded by radiocarbon sediment analysis. Map data and cross-sections reveal a transpressional zone between left-lateral, right-stepping overlapping fault strands. This transpressional step-over structure could arrest an earthquake should nucleation occur along either fault strand, which may reduce total rupture length. Moment magnitude calculations using fault length, fault segment length and an assumption of a 10 km earthquake depth suggest possible moment magnitudes between M5.7 and M6.9.
The MLF is the longest fault within the PSZ and forms the southern boundary of the PSZ. The map and kinematic data suggest that the MLF is a transfer fault that transfers strain from surrounding N-striking normal fault systems. The other major PSZ faults are also transfer faults. Thus, the PSZ is a transfer zone that accommodates differences in regional strain to the north and south of the NBR and CBR subprovince boundary. Along the boundary to the NE, hard linkage between the PSZ and CEZ cannot be confirmed, but soft linkage is possible between these distinct zones along the subprovince boundary.

description: The dispersion relation of the high energy optical π-plasmons of simple hexagonal intrinsic graphite was calculated within the self-consistent-field approximation. The plasmon frequency ω_p is determined as functions of the transferred momentum $q_{\parallel}$ along the hexagonal plane in the Brillouin zone and its perpendicular component $q_z$. These plasmons are isotropic within the plane in the long wavelength limit. As the in-plane transferred momentum is increased, the plasmon frequency strongly depends on its magnitude and direction (ϕ). With increasing angle, the dispersion relation within the hexagonal plane is gradually changed from quadratic to nearly linear form. There are many significant differences for the π-plasmon dispersion relations between 2D graphene and 3D AA-stacked graphite. They include $q_\parallel$- and ϕ-dependence and π-plasmon bandwidth. This result reveals that interlayer interaction could enhance anisotropy of in-plane π-plasmons. For chosen $\textbf{q}_\parallel$, we also obtain the plasmon frequency as a function of $q_z$ and show that there is an upper bound on $q_z$ for plasmons to exist in graphite. Additionally, the group velocity for plasmon propagation along the perpendicular direction may be positive or negative depending on the choice of $\textbf{q}_\parallel$. Consequently, the forward and backward propagation of π-plasmons in AA-stacked graphite in which the energy flow is respectively parallel or antiparallel to the transferred momentum, can be realized. The backward flowing resonance is an intrinsic property of AA-stacked graphite, arising from the energy band structure and the interlayer coupling.

description: NGC 4921 and 7049 are two spiral galaxies presenting narrow, distinct dust features. A detailed study of the morphology of those features has been carried out using Hubble Space Telescope archival images. NGC 4921 shows a few but well-defined dust arms midway to its centre while NGC 7049 displays many more dusty features, mainly collected within a ring-shaped formation. Numerous dark and filamentary structures, called outgrowths, are found to protrude from the dusty arms in both galaxies. The outgrowths point both outwards and inwards in the galaxies. Mostly they are found to be V-shaped or Y-shaped with the branches connected to dark arm filaments. Often the stem of the Y appears to consist of intertwined filaments. Remarkably, the outgrowths show considerable similarities to elephant trunks in H II regions. A model of the outgrowths, based on magnetized filaments, is proposed. The model provides explanations of both the shapes and orientations of the outgrowths. Most important, it can also give an account for their intertwined structures. It is found that the longest outgrowths are confusingly similar to dusty spiral arms. This suggests that some of the outgrowths can develop into such arms. The time-scale of the development is estimated to be on the order of the rotation period of the arms or shorter. Similar processes may also take place in other spiral galaxies. If so, the model of the outgrowths can offer a new approach to the old winding problem of spiral arms.

description: In this paper, the statistical properties and fatigue life estimations of 0.44% carbon steel at different tempering temperatures are presented. The specimens were austenized at 900°C for 10 min, quenched in water, tempered at different temperatures, and then machined to the design geometry and average surface roughness of Ra = 0.4 µm. The effect of tempering temperature on the fatigue life of 0.44% carbon steel was investigated using 75 fatigue tests, divided into three groups at temperatures 500°C, 600°C, and 700°C. S–N and P–S–N curves were established. Two methods of estimating the mean fatigue life are presented. One is based on dislocation dipole accumulation and Paris’ law; another is based on the kriging model. Six more fatigue tests were carried out to validate the presented methods. Test results showed that the first method is superior to the second in terms of estimating accuracy from the validation datum. However, the second method could estimate the mean fatigue life of quenched and tempered 0.44% carbon steel with an average surface roughness of Ra = 0.4 µm when the tempering temperature was set to a value other than 500°C, 600°C, or 700°C, with no additional fatigue test needed.

description: We show that Out(G) is residually finite if G is a one-ended group that is hyperbolic relative to virtually polycyclic subgroups. More generally, if G is one-ended and hyperbolic relative to proper residually finite subgroups, the group of outer automorphisms preserving the peripheral structure is residually finite. We also show that Out(G) is virtually p-residually finite for every prime p if G is one-ended and toral relatively hyperbolic, or infinitely-ended and virtually p-residually finite.

description: This guide provides a detailed step-by-step procedure for the dispersion of (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes by shear force mixing with the conjugated polymer PFO-BPy in organic solvents. All processes presented here were developed in the Zaumseil group at Heidelberg University since 2015 and represent best practices to the best of our knowledge. In addition to the detailed instructions, we discuss potential pitfalls and problems, that we have encountered over eight years of operation and show how to solve them. This also includes a detailed description of how to maintain and service a shear force mixer to ensure long operation lifetime. Finally, we show how to expand our process to the dispersion other nanotube chiralities in electronic-grade quality and how to treat dispersions for subsequent processing (e.g., thin film deposition or functionalization).

description: Laser frequency combs, as most lasers, are one-dimensional. Here we present a realization of d-dimensional laser mode lattices (mode hyper-combs) with unique properties. They are constructed from regular 1-dimensional combs by multi-frequency modulation in active mode-locking (AML). The hyper-comb, with near neighbor mode interaction and noise functioning as temperature, is mapped to interacting magnetic spin-lattices in the spherical-model, which is one of the few statistical-mechanics systems soluble in all dimensions. The important result is that such systems have, in d>2 dimensions, a phase-transition to a global mode-phase-ordered hyper-comb. It changes the nature of AML lasers, giving ultimately short and robust pulses which can capture very broad frequency bandwidths. Additionally, the hyper-combs can serve as a rare physical realization of the spherical-model in any dimension.

title: Numerical Analyses and Integration of Split Lot Sizing Using Lean Benchmark Model for Small Lot Manufacturing in High Mix Low Volume Production

description: As the global demand for automobiles has increased rapidly over the last fifty years, customers have become more particular about the characteristics of the autos they want. This change in demand, in part has pushed manufacturing to become more flexible and created a demand for alternative, more efficient processes like the High Mix Low Volume (HMLV) production of vehicles. During HMLV, manufacturers create production lot sizes and schedule to synchronize the production processes to meet customer demand on time. The demand for the automobile parts may not be uniform or parts may not be consumed by the customer immediately, Due to this variation in demand, companies avoid shortages by large production lots and storing excess inventory. However, excess inventory has to be managed differently during the production large lots. It increases the inventory holding cost; hence it is essential to know what, when and how much to produce. An excellent example of introducing controls for efficiencies is the Toyota Production System, which allows Toyota Motors to progress implement Just in Time (JIT) production, However, to achieve the JIT, needs for producing small lots have to be met.

Hence, this thesis aims to assess a lot-sizing model that focuses on how to combine the production methods of high to low demand parts one machine to achieve JIT. The method was divided in two parts; first, it assesses the variable production of high to medium demand parts within a fixed amount of time described as Fixed Period Variable Amount (FPVA). The split lot technique used to minimize the inventory. Second, parts that have assess low demand were assessed within a Fixed Amount Variable Period (FAVP).

It is proposed that a time-oriented method with the external changeover parameter can appropriately minimize the inventory of FAVP parts and avoid idling of the workforce. Also discussed the kaizen or continuous improvement approach for changeover with directed sequencing approaches to minimize longer changeover times, significant obstacle for the production of small lot production.

The outcome of the propose model is then compared with two industry lot sizing and scheduling models, conventional lot sizing and lean benchmark lot sizing. The objective of conventional model is to minimize the cost without considering and HMLV environment and external changeover parameter. The objective of the lean benchmark model is to minimize inventory without creating idle time for the workforce. The thesis also investigates the integration and working of the Kanban scheduling system in the lean benchmark model

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in a Minimal 3-3-1 Model

description: The gauge symmetry breaking in some versions of 3-3-1 models can be implemented dynamically because at the scale of a few TeVs the $U(1)_X$ coupling constant becomes strong. In this work we consider the dynamical symmetry breaking in a minimal $SU(3)_{{}_{TC}}\times SU(3)_{{}_{L}}\times U(1)_{X}$ model, where we propose a new scheme to cancel the chiral anomalies, including two-index symmetric (6) technifermions, which incorporates naturally the walking behavior in the TC sector. The composite scalar content of the model is minimal and all the symmetry breaking is implemented by a multiplet of technifermions. The choice of TC representations not only provide the anomaly cancellation with a walking behavior, but is crucial to promote the model's full dynamical symmetry breaking. We consider the dynamical generation of technigluon masses and, depending on the 3-3-1 symmetry breaking scale ($μ_{331}$), we verify that the technigluon mass is strongly linked to the $Z'$ mass scale, for instance, if $μ_{331}= 1TeV$, we have $M_{{}_{Z'}} > 1$ TeV only if $M_{{}_{TG}} < 350GeV$.

description: We present a novel algorithm for implementing Owen-scrambling, combining the generation and distribution of the scrambling bits in a single self-contained compact process. We employ a context-free grammar to build a binary tree of symbols, and equip each symbol with a scrambling code that affects all descendant nodes. We nominate the grammar of adaptive regular tiles (ART) derived from the repetition-avoiding Thue-Morse word, and we discuss its potential advantages and shortcomings. Our algorithm has many advantages, including random access to samples, fixed time complexity, GPU friendliness, and scalability to any memory budget. Further, it provides two unique features over known methods: it admits optimization, and it is invertible, enabling screen-space scrambling of the high-dimensional Sobol sampler.
