costs of reproduction
incubation

description: Despite avid interest in life-history trade-offs and the costs of reproduction, evidence that increased parental allocation reduces subsequent breeding productivity is mixed. This uncertainty may be attributable to environmental heterogeneity in space and time, necessitating experiments across a range of ecological contexts. Over three breeding seasons, we cross-fostered clutches between nests to manipulate incubation duration in a wild population of Carolina wrens, a species in which only females incubate, to test for a cost of incubation on current and future reproduction. Prolonged incubation affected maternal productivity in a manner dependent upon the current environment and initial investment in eggs, suggesting incubation is optimized according to other components of reproduction and individual quality. Effects of incubation duration on foster-nestling condition varied between years, being costly in one, beneficial in another, and neutral in the third. The proportion of young fledged, females' probability of breeding again within seasons, and subsequent clutch sizes all declined with increasing incubation effort, effects which became more pronounced as seasons progressed. Therefore, costs of incubation were almost entirely dependent upon maternal quality and environmental variation, illustrating the importance of conducting experiments across a range of environmental settings for understanding the costs of reproduction and evolution of life-histories.

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: English Language Learners make up more than half of the student population in the Clark County School District in Las Vegas, Nevada ("Nevada Report Card", 2008-09). This is a compelling enough number to motivate teachers, principals, and schools as a whole to reflect on the practices and programs set in place to meet the needs of these students. This study looks specifically at two classrooms in CCSD, observing the teachers' practices and strategies for effectively meeting the needs of their English Language Learners that are a part of their mainstream classrooms. Pervasive strategies that stood out during the course of the study were interaction in the classroom, differentiated instruction, and scaffolding. The teachers involved differed in their motivation, background, and knowledge in relationship to teaching ELLs. The differences became evident as a result of the observations in their classrooms, as well as their survey responses. This study could serve as a resource for teachers who would like to improve their approaches in meeting the needs of ELLs in their classroom, as well as assist in understanding the background of research based practices that are suggested to be effective when working with students that come from diverse linguistic backgrounds. The information included also illustrates the need to further teachers' education in relationship to teaching diverse populations.

description: The assessed phase diagram of the boron-carbon system contains a single non-stoichiometric boron-carbide phase of rhombohedral symmetry with a broad, thermodynamically improbable, low temperature composition range. We combine first principles total energy calculations with phenomenological thermodynamic modeling to propose a revised low temperature phase diagram that contains two boron-carbide phases of differing symmetries and compositions. One structure has composition B4C and consists of B11C icosahedra and C-B-C chains, with the placement of carbon on the icosahedron breaking rhombohedral symmetry. This phase is destabilized above 600K by the configurational entropy of alternate carbon substitutions. The other structure, of ideal composition B13C2, has a broad composition range at high temperature, with rhombohedral symmetry throughout, as observed experimentally.

Zero-sum magic graphs and their null sets
Creators: name: Hansen, Samuel M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: For any element h of the Natural numbers, a graph G=(V,E), with vertex set V and edge set E, is said to be h-magic if there exists a labeling of the edge set E, using the integer group mod h such that the induced vertex labeling, the sum of all edges incident to a vertex, is a constant map. When this constant is 0 we call G a zero-sum h-magic graph. The null set of G is the set of all natural numbers h for which G admits a zero-sum h-magic labeling. A graph G is said to be uniformly null if every magic labeling of G induces zero sum. In this thesis we will identify the null sets of certain classes of Planar Graphs.

description: We report structural, DC magnetization, detailed linear/non-linear AC susceptibility, (with applied frequency and amplitude) isothermal and thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) behavior for RuSr2Y1.5Ce0.5Cu2O10 (YRu-1222) magneto-superconductor to understand its complex magnetism. Studied sample is synthesized through the novel solid state High Pressure (6 GPa) High Temperature (1450oC) (HPHT) technique. The compound is crystallized in tetragonal structure with space group I4/mmm (No. 139). DC magnetic susceptibility shows that studied YRu-1222 is magneto-superconducting with Ru spins magnetic ordering at around 110 K and superconductivity (SC) in the Cu-O2 planes below ~ 30 K. Frequency and field dependent detailed AC magnetic susceptibility measurements confirms the spin-glass (SG) behavior with homogeneous/non-homogeneous ferromagnetic (FM) clusters in this system. Variation of cusp position with applied AC frequency follows the famous Vogel-Fulcher law, which is commonly accepted feature for spin-glass (SG) system with homogeneous/non-homogeneous ferromagnetic clusters embedded in spin-glass (SG) matrix. Above the freezing temperature (Tf), first and third harmonics AC susceptibility analysis indicated possibility of the co-existence of spin cluster ferromagnetism with superparamagnetism (SPM). The M-H loops at low temperature exhibit the ferromagnetic behavior with rather small coercive field (Hc) and remnant magnetization (Mr). Summarily, the magnetic (DC and AC) susceptibility measurements and their analysis have enabled us to unearth the complex magnetism in terms of successive SG-FM-SPM transitions with temperature.

description: The Mechanism of host plant resistance in tomato varieties was evaluated and compared against tomato fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) attack in the Solan district known to be ‘Tomato bowl of Himachal Pradesh’. By understanding the mechanisms of induced resistance, we can predict the pests that are likely to be affected by induced responses. The elicitors of induced responses can be sprayed on crop plants to build up the natural defense system against damage caused by herbivores. Eight varieties utilized for the experiment included three self pollinating indeterminate varieties developed by selection (Solan Lalima, Solan Vajar, Palam Pink) and four hybrids (Naveen 2000+, Heem Sohna, Red Gold, Rakshita, Yash Tomato). To find the sources of resistance in tomato foliage, researchers extracted various macro and micronutrients from these varieties, as well as estimating the chemical composition of tomato fruits, such as total phenols, titrable acidity, reducing sugars and total sugars, to compare for varying levels of resistance to Helicoverpa armigera. Fruit infestation was found to be inversely connected with phenol and sugar content in tomato fruits, as measured by correlation coefficient values (r= -0.895) and (r= -0.650), respectively, indicating that less susceptible varieties were high in phenols as well as in sugars which protected them from the attack of the pest. Nitrogen (r= 0.660), potassium (r=0.679), magnesium (r= 0.698), iron (r= 0.547) and manganese (r=0.546) content were found to be optimistically correlated with per cent fruit infestation while, phosphorous (r= -0.857) and zinc (r= -0.801) content did not favor the fruit borer attack. This resistance can be used to develop crop cultivars that rapidly produce the inducible response upon mild infestation and can be used as significant components of integrated pest management alongside other techniques such as biological, cultural, and chemical control.

description: In recent years, many exceptional orthogonal polynomials (EOP) were introduced and used to construct new families of 1D exactly solvable quantum potentials, some of which are shape invariant. In this paper, we construct from Hermite and Laguerre EOP and their related quantum systems new 2D superintegrable Hamiltonians with higher-order integrals of motion and the polynomial algebras generated by their integrals of motion. We obtain the finite-dimensional unitary representations of the polynomial algebras and the corresponding energy spectrum. We also point out a new type of degeneracies of the energy levels of these systems that is associated with holes in sequences of EOP.

description: The edge structure of the $ν=2/3$ fractional quantum Hall state has been studied for several decades but recent experiments, exhibiting upstream neutral mode(s), a plateau at a Hall conductance of $\frac{1}{3}( e^2/h)$ through a quantum point contact, and a crossover of the effective charge, from $e/3$ at high temperature to $2e/3$ at low temperature, could not be explained by a single theory. Here we develop such a theory, based on edge reconstruction due to a confining potential with finite slope, that admits an additional $ν=1/3$ incompressible strip near the edge. Renormalization group analysis of the effective edge theory due to disorder and interactions explains the experimental observations.

description: (Abridge) We study statistical intrinsic shape of star-forming BzK galaxies (sBzK galaxies) at z~2 in both rest-frame UV and rest-frame optical wavelengths. The sBzK galaxies are selected down to K(AB)=24.0 mag in the GOODS-South and SXDS fields, where high-resolution images from Hubble Space Telescope are publicly available. 57% (583) of all 1028 galaxies in GOODS-S show a single component in the ACS/F850LP image. As WFC3/F160W images cover only some part of GOODS-S and SXDS, 724/1028 and 2500/29835 sBzK galaxies in the GOODS-S and SXDS have the WFC3 coverage. 86% (626) and 82% (2044) of the sBzK galaxies in WFC3/F160W images appear as a single component in the GOODS-S and SXDS, respectively. Larger fraction of single-component objects in F850LP images represents multiple star-forming regions in galaxies, while they are not so obvious in the F160W image which appears smoother. Most of the single-component sBzK galaxies show Sérsic indices of n=0.5-2.5, in agreement with those of local disk galaxies. Their effective radii are 1.0-3.0 kpc and 1.5-4.0 kpc in F850LP and F160W images, respectively, regardless of the observed fields. Stellar surface mass density of the sBzK galaxies is also comparable to that of the local disk galaxies. However, the intrinsic shape of sBzK galaxies is not a round disk as seen in the local disk galaxies. By comparing apparent axial ratio (b/a) distributions of the sBzK galaxies with those by assuming tri-axial model with axes A>B>C, we found their intrinsic face-on B/A ratios peak at B/A=0.70 and B/A=0.77-0.79 in the rest-frame UV and optical, respectively and are statistically more bar-like than that of the local disk galaxies. The intrinsic edge-on C/A ratios in both rest-frame UV and optical wavelengths peak at 0.26, which is slightly larger than that of the local disk galaxies.

The single specimen 5mm in diameter is spherical, covered with sand; the siphons are not visible at the surface. Removed from the tunic the edge of the siphons is cut into numerous thread-like lobes. The body wall is thin. The longitudinal muscular fibres issued from each siphon do not extend on the whole body length (Fig. 35 A). The transverse muscles are very thin. A velum is present in both siphons. The oral tentacles are large but poorly branched. The dorsal tubercle opens in a vertical slit; it is located in a deep V of the peripharyngeal band. The dorsal lamina is short. The branchial sac (Fig. 35 B) has 7 folds with the formula: right-E 3-6-5-6-6-5-2-DL-3-4-5-5-5- 4-3E left. The first dorsal fold on each side is very short. The double spirals are obvious at the top of the folds. Parastigmatic vessels are present. The gut is a long closed loop. The hepatic gland in a single lobe has round papillae. There is one gonad on each side (Fig. 35 A); the testis is against the proximal end of the ovary. The ovary is globular with a short oviduct. The sperm duct ends in a short tube protruding on the internal side of the ovary. The renal sac is oval and small.
All characters well correspond to previously collected specimens, the smallest number of branchial folds is attributed to a smaller size of the Madagascar specimens.
The species was previously recorded from the Red Sea and Yemen.

A strong direct product theorem for the tribes function via the smooth-rectangle bound

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Computational Complexity (cs.CC)

description: The main result of this paper is an optimal strong direct product result for the two-party public-coin randomized communication complexity of the Tribes function. This is proved by providing an alternate proof of the optimal lower bound of Ω(n) for the randomised communication complexity of the Tribes function using the so-called smooth-rectangle bound, introduced by Jain and Klauck [JK10]. The optimal Ω(n) lower bound for Tribes was originally proved by Jayram, Kumar and Sivakumar [JKS03], using a more powerful lower bound technique, namely the information complexity bound. The information complexity bound is known to be at least as strong a lower bound method as the smooth-rectangle bound [KLL+12]. On the other hand, we are not aware of any function or relation for which the smooth-rectangle bound is (asymptotically) smaller than its public-coin randomized communication complexity. The optimal direct product for Tribes is obtained by combining our smooth-rectangle bound for tribes with the strong direct product result of Jain and Yao [JY12] in terms of smooth-rectangle bound.

We use low-temperature DC electron transport to excite and measure the tubes' bending mode by making use of a positive feedback mechanism between their vibrations and the tunneling electrons. In these nano-electro-mechanical-systems (NEMS), we measure fundamental bending frequencies $f_{bend}\approx$ 75 - 280 GHz, and extract quality factors $Q \sim 10^{6}$. The NEMS' frequencies can be tuned by a factor of two with tension induced by mechanical breakjunctions actuated by an electrostatic force, or tension from bent suspended electrodes.

title: A Change management effort in one large public organization: An exploration of the perception of needed skills for managing change
Creators: name: Knudsen, Brian Paul
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Public managers are a key component of a bureaucracy. The reliance on a public manager by an elected official is high as is the expectations that these managers have the necessary skills to manage a public organization. The goal of this study was to explore what elected officials perceive are skills needed by managers to lessen the impact on the human resource, financial, and political challenges when faced with significant change efforts in order to meet their expectations and that of the citizens to whom the organization is responsible.
Findings indicate that managing upward and managing the political impacts are within the necessary skills required by a public manager as is the ability to manage interpersonal relationships to overcome the human resource challenges of a public organization. In addition to the human resource challenges, public managers face financial and political challenges (McGuire, 2002) to managing effectively. In order to overcome those challenges and accomplish any transformational changes (Rothwell et al., 2009) a public manager must hold themselves to a high standard of values that includes honesty, integrity, consistency, and accuracy. A public manager must also have, in addition to interpersonal skills, an ability to negotiate, act quickly and decisively, think strategically, and provide accurate data.
title: Modeling arterial blood flow using radial basis functions
Creators: name: Acres, Jacqueline M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Investigation into the mechanics of blood flow in arteries helps provide insight into the mechanism of cardiovascular disease. As experimental measurements can be difficult, it is of interest to apply numerical simulation to the problem. This thesis examined fluid flow in arteries using a meshless method, namely radial basis functions with a time integration technique. Since meshless methods do not require the time consuming step of connective mesh generation, interest has grown about applying them in fluid dynamics. The method was implemented and verified using MATLAB. Cases involved axisymmetric, pulsatile flow of a Newtonian and power-law fluid both with rigid and distensible tube walls. The method was shown to be a close approximation for the Newtonian rigid and distensible wall case, but showed some inconsistencies when applying the power-law fluid. The study found that in particular, shape parameters were important to determining the accuracy and consistency of the solution. In summary, the meshless method was found to be a close initial approximation but further work is needed to improve accuracy and consistency of the method.
On the Identifiability of Overcomplete Dictionaries via the Minimisation Principle Underlying K-SVD
Creators: name: Schnass, Karin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This article gives theoretical insights into the performance of K-SVD, a dictionary learning algorithm that has gained significant popularity in practical applications. The particular question studied here is when a dictionary $Φ\in \mathbb{R}^{d \times K}$ can be recovered as local minimum of the minimisation criterion underlying K-SVD from a set of $N$ training signals $y_n =Φx_n$. A theoretical analysis of the problem leads to two types of identifiability results assuming the training signals are generated from a tight frame with coefficients drawn from a random symmetric distribution. First, asymptotic results showing, that in expectation the generating dictionary can be recovered exactly as a local minimum of the K-SVD criterion if the coefficient distribution exhibits sufficient decay. Second, based on the asymptotic results it is demonstrated that given a finite number of training samples $N$, such that $N/\log N = O(K^3d)$, except with probability $O(N^{-Kd})$ there is a local minimum of the K-SVD criterion within distance $O(KN^{-1/4})$ to the generating dictionary.

title: Exploring the phenomena of inner experience with descriptive experience sampling
Creators: name: Mihelic, Janell M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: This study provides a survey of the phenomena of normal, everyday inner experience using the Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES) method. Results demonstrated that five types of inner experience (sensory awareness, feeling, unsymbolized thinking, inner seeing, and inner speech) occurred in approximately one-quarter of sampled moments and that there were significant individual differences regarding the frequency with which subjects experienced these phenomena. Three new dimensions (richness of inner experience, the number of experiences present, and the overall valence of the experience) along which inner experience could be characterized were identified and used reliably to characterize moments of experience. Finally, although there was some agreement in subject and interviewer perceptions of the ability to capture and report experience, it was determined that these ratings could not be used to determine the fidelity of reports or descriptions of inner experience.
Tumbling of small axisymmetric particles in random and turbulent flows

description: We analyse the tumbling of small non-spherical, axisymmetric particles in random and turbulent flows. We compute the orientational dynamics in terms of a perturbation expansion in the Kubo number, and obtain the tumbling rate in terms of Lagrangian correlation functions. These capture preferential sampling of the fluid gradients which in turn can give rise to differences in the tumbling rates of disks and rods. We show that this is a weak effect in Gaussian random flows. But in turbulent flows persistent regions of high vorticity cause disks to tumble much faster than rods, as observed in direct numerical simulations [Parsa et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 (2012) 134501]. For larger particles (at finite Stokes numbers), rotational and translational inertia affects the tumbling rate and the angle at which particles collide, due to the formation of rotational caustics.

On the way, we prove a new comparison result in weighted geometry and we provide a general weighted $L^1$-Sobolev inequality for hypersurfaces in Cartan-Hadamard weighted manifolds, satisfying suitable restrictions on the weight function.

description: Network structural statistics for the observed host network and with the removal of threatened hosts, compared to a null model. The distribution represents statistics from 100 iterations of removal of ~50% of hosts from the network based on a binary trait simulated to have phylogenetic signal comparable to that seen in the observed threatened status. Note that the actual proportion of hosts removed varied around approximately 50% because of stochasticity in the simulated trait. Connectance is the proportion of realized edges out of the total possible edges (ranging from 0 to 1). Modularity was calculated based on the number of compartments, with compartments being blocks of nodes interacting with each other and not with other compartments. The observed statistics when removing approximately half of hosts in which a binary trait was simulate to evolve on the phylogeny similar to the observed threatened status are illustrated with red dashed line, and the statistics of the present network with 213 hosts are represented by the blue solid line. Nestedness temperature measures the degree to which interactions of specialists are proper subsets of the interactions with generalists, such that a value of 0 is perfectly nested while a value of 100 is perfectly non-nested. gfRobustness is a measure of the rate of secondary extinctions following host removal, with values closer to 0 representing a high rate and closer to one representing a low rate of secondary species loss following host removal. The two distributions represent if host removal in the robustness calculation was random (grey outline), or was based on the degree distribution (black outline). The observed robustness in the current network based on random host removal (blue solid line) is similar to the robustness expected with the loss of threatened hosts (red dashed line) and random host removal. The observed robustness based on removing the best-connected hosts (purple solid line) is slightly lower than the robustness expected with the loss of threatened hosts and host removal based on degree distribution (orange dashed line).

Explore the Phenomenon of Buddhist Temple Stay in South Korea for Tourists
Creators: name: Wang, Wei
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Temple Stay program is a newly developed but comparatively mature tourism product in Korea, which is to accommodate and cater tourists in Buddhist temples and have them experience over 1700 years Korean traditions of Buddhism and culture. As a product of compromise between Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the most influential Buddhist organization Jogye Order, Temple Stay program was first launched in 2002 during FIFA World Cup to receive excessive international tourists. Through almost ten-year systematical development, Temple Stay program turns out to be a distinctive phenomenon which successfully establishes a unique identity of Korean culture and tourism, as well as expand the influence of Korean Buddhism.
The paper aims at familiarizing readers with Temple Stay program in Korea through historical back ground of religious tourism worldwide and Buddhist tourism in Korea, current conditions of Korean Temple Stay program and the benefits and criticism received by Temple Stay program. The study will explain what Temple Stay program is, how it is developed, why it is special and who the participants are for the program.

description: The Fiber Optical Cable and Connector System (FOCCoS), provides optical connection between 2400 positioners and a set of spectrographs by an optical fibers cable as part of Subaru PFS instrument. Each positioner retains one fiber entrance attached at a microlens, which is responsible for the F-ratio transformation into a larger one so that difficulties of spectrograph design are eased. The optical fibers cable will be segmented in 3 parts at long of the way, cable A, cable B and cable C, connected by a set of multi-fibers connectors. Cable B will be permanently attached at the Subaru telescope. The first set of multi-fibers connectors will connect the cable A to the cable C from the spectrograph system at the Nasmith platform. The cable A, is an extension of a pseudo-slit device obtained with the linear disposition of the extremities of the optical fibers and fixed by epoxy at a base of composite substrate. The second set of multi-fibers connectors will connect the other extremity of cable A to the cable B, which is part of the positioner's device structure. The optical fiber under study for this project is the Polymicro FBP120170190, which has shown very encouraging results. The kind of test involves FRD measurements caused by stress induced by rotation and twist of the fiber extremity, similar conditions to those produced by positioners of the PFS instrument. The multi-fibers connector under study is produced by USCONEC Company and may connect 32 optical fibers. The tests involve throughput of light and stability after many connections and disconnections. This paper will review the general design of the FOCCoS subsystem, methods used to fabricate the devices involved and the tests results necessary to evaluate the total efficiency of the set.

On the Method of Interconnection and Damping Assignment Passivity-Based Control for the Stabilization of Mechanical Systems

description: Interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based control (IDA-PBC) is an excellent method to stabilize mechanical systems in the Hamiltonian formalism. In this paper, several improvements are made on the IDA-PBC method. The skew-symmetric interconnection submatrix in the conventional form of IDA-PBC is shown to have some redundancy for systems with the number of degrees of freedom greater than two, containing unnecessary components that do not contribute to the dynamics. To completely remove this redundancy, the use of quadratic gyroscopic forces is proposed in place of the skew-symmetric interconnection submatrix. Reduction of the number of matching partial differential equations in IDA-PBC and simplification of the structure of the matching partial differential equations are achieved by eliminating the gyroscopic force from the matching partial differential equations. In addition, easily verifiable criteria are provided for Lyapunov/exponential stabilizability by IDA-PBC for all linear controlled Hamiltonian systems with arbitrary degrees of underactuation and for all nonlinear controlled Hamiltonian systems with one degree of underactuation. A general design procedure for IDA-PBC is given and illustrated with examples. The duality of the new IDA-PBC method to the method of controlled Lagrangians is discussed. This paper renders the IDA-PBC method as powerful as the controlled Lagrangian method.

description: Concepts such as energy dependence, random deployment, dynamic topological update, self-organization, varying large number of nodes are among many factors that make WSNs a type of complex system. However, when analyzing WSNs properties using complex network tools, classical topological measures must be considered with care as they might not be applicable in their original form. In this work, we focus on the topological measures frequently used in the related field of Internet topological analysis. We illustrate their applicability to the WSNs domain through simulation experiments. In the cases when the classic metrics turn out to be incompatible, we propose some alternative measures and discuss them based on the WSNs characteristics.
