title: Analysis of 316 Omnitrophota (OP3) Genomes Reveals a Diverse and Ubiquitous Candidate Phylum of Putative Syntrophs, Predators, and Free-Living Nanobacteria Encoding Giant Open-Reading Frames.

description: Candidate bacterial phylum Omnitrophota has never been isolated and is poorly understood. In this study, we explored the genomics, phylogeny, taxonomy, distribution, cell size, and predicted physiology of Omnitrophota based on 316 genomes. Phylogenomic concordance identified seven classes accommodating 144 species. Calibration of genome-based taxonomy to ribosomal SSU profiling revealed most Omnitrophota classes are prevalent in the Earth Microbiome Dataset, particularly in soils and sediments. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting and differential size filtration experiments showed ultra-small (<400 >nm) cells are common across the phylum, as are parasitism-related genes, including a conserved tight adherence (Tad) complex and ATP/ADP translocase. However, nucleotide and amino acid biosynthetic pathways are not reduced, possibly suggesting early-stage or facultative intracellular parasitism. Energy metabolism is conserved within classes, with either acetogenic Wood-Ljungdahl or diverse respiratory pathways present. Large open reading frames (>20 kb) possibly involved in cell-cell adhesion are conserved across the phylum, including the largest prokaryotic ORF predicted yet (140 kb). These results demonstrate Omnitrophota are diverse and ubiquitous, including putative syntrophs, predators, and free-living nanobacteria that encode unusual giant open-reading frames.
title: Re-Analysing Astronomical Alignments of Potential E Group Structures to Demonstrate the Utility of Archeoastronomy Research About the Ancient Maya
Creators: name: Shikrallah, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: There has been much study of Maya astronomy and the relationship and/or manifestation of astronomy within architecture and other aspects of Maya material culture. Despite this, there is little agreement about the commonalities and variation in potential astronomical representation across sites and regions as it is difficult to compare sites to determine whether spatial patterning exists between similar building classifications. Also, it can be difficult to understand and pursue archeoastronomy research due to the jargon and methodology employed. This thesis provides an updated dataset that shows the utility of pursuing archeoastronomy research about the ancient Maya. Combining archaeological and archeoastronomical data showed potential differences between the classifications of E Groups that may better define those classifications if pursued through future research. By re-analyzing alignments previously provided in publication and placing these alignments into better context according to more current archaeological interpretations, this dataset demonstrates the utility of archeoastronomy research for archaeologists.
title: Relationship between Standardization Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Project Performance
Creators: name: Shrestha, Binit
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Facility standardization strategy is defined as the development and use of consistent designs to align project stakeholders, objectives, and scope to capture and optimize schedule, cost, and value. The implementation and proper execution of this strategy can lead to considerable benefits, such as design once and reuse multiple times, along with learning curve benefits in fabrication, operations, and construction, as well as accelerated responds to schedule needs. Although standardization strategy is not a new idea; capital projects have failed to achieve high levels of facility standardization. The primary reason for this is the industry’s struggle to execute standardized projects successfully. To address this issue, the Construction Industry Institute (CII) identified 15 standardization Critical Success Factors (CSFs) to help practitioners achieve higher levels of facility standardization in capital projects. However, there is a need to better understand the standardization CSFs comprehensively, as well as their relationship with project performance by analyzing data from actual standardized projects. This study attempts to fill the gap in the body of knowledge by examining the relationships between standardization CSFs and project performance as well as investigating the current status of CSFs accomplishments in standardized projects. The results show that if more CSFs are accomplished, project performance is improved for the capital projects. In addition, this research identifies which CSFs are commonly accomplished and which CSFs are challenging to accomplish. The research findings will help the industry to better understand standardization CSFs, so as to help standardized projects accomplish more CSFs appropriately, and therefore, improve project performance. Furthermore, this study contributes to the body of knowledge by building on the conceptually underlying principle of associations between standardization CSFs accomplishment and project performance.

Catalogue essay for Sampling the City: Architecture and Design Culture in Melbourne Now
Creators: name: Watson, Fleur
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 330102
subject: Architectural design

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) Melbourne NOW is the largest show NGV has mounted, showcasing contemporary art, architecture, design, performance and cultural practice. Exhibitors were selected based on how they reflected the complex cultural landscape of creative Melbourne. Watson was invited as guest architecture curator to produce an 'exhibition within the exhibition:' 'Sampling the City: Architecture in Melbourne Now.' The exhibition revealed the complex web of personalities, factions and trajectories that make up Melbourne's vibrant contemporary architectural culture. Watson contributed an essay to the Melbourne NOW catalogue - an exclusive, hand-numbered, 280-page volume in a limited edition of 1500 copies. It explores the current overarching motifs intersecting through art, architecture, designers and practitioners represented in the exhibition. RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: Watson's 'Sampling the City' is a major overview essay that charts the rise of Melbourne as a 'design city' by sketching a sort of design genealogy. She identifies key protagonists, including Peter Corrigan, Leon van Schaik, Rob Adams, Lyons and Ashton Raggatt McDougall and then draws on more than half a dozen interviews with significant local architects, bio-future practitioners, industrial designers and interior designers. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: The significance of Watson's essay is demonstrated in its inclusion in the catalogue; it was one of the three 'major essays' along Max Delany (senior curator of contemporary art, NGV) and Professor Nikos Papastergiadis (prominent scholar in cultural studies and media communication). In recognition of Melbourne's strong design community and talent, the publication was designed leading Melbourne graphic design firms in collaboration with the NGV; the title font was designed by Niels Oeltjen for Letterbox; and the volume includes an exclusive fold-out Melbourne Now poster by artist Brent Harris and designer Jenny Grigg.
title: Italianness on the Strip: Stereotypes, Dreams, and Nostalgia in Las Vegas Italian-Themed Attractions
Creators: name: Soligo, Marta
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: I conducted a multi-sited ethnography with tourists and Italian employees in four Italian-themed locations in Las Vegas: two resorts, The Venetian and Caesars Palace, and two food-related venues, Cipriani and Eataly. I tried to answer the research questions: How do Italian-themed attractions attempt to transmit Italianness to tourists? How do Italian employees and tourists decode the Italian theme? and What is the role of Italian food in constructing Italianness on the Strip? As emerged from my analysis, Italianness on the Strip is the outcome of different kinds of negotiations. While Caesars Palace and The Venetian aim at creating representations of Italy that match tourists’ imaginaries, Cipriani and Eataly are more tied to an authentic image of today’s Italy, both in terms of architectural features and menu items. My data showed that tourists’ opinions were contradictory, with some declaring that those attractions did a good job replicating the Italian theme and others describing them as inauthentic. Similarly, while a few Italian employees stated that those themed attractions were fake, most claimed that they reminded them of their home country. This was especially the case of Cipriani and Eataly since, as employees proudly described, they serve Italian traditional food without accepting compromises, even if that entails a significant effort in terms of emotional labor. Italian employees’ reflections on Italian-themed attractions often triggered emotional reactions, which ranged from the nostalgia for Italy to anger towards their home country’s inability to offer them the same opportunities they found in the United States.

title: On-Chip Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy
Creators: name: Sterbentz, Randy

description: Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) allows the direct measurement of optical and charge carrier properties of materials in a region of the electromagnetic spectrum inaccessible to most other spectroscopic techniques. We have adapted the technique to an on-chip arrangement that allows us to measure these properties in nanoscale materials with dimensions below the diffraction limit. In this thesis, we present the operation of instruments and the mechanics behind performing on-chip terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Three materials were tested to confirm the capabilities of our system to measure THz radiation: indium selenide (InSe), radiation-damaged silicon-on-sapphire (RD-SOS), and an erbium arsenide:gallium arsenide superlattice. Preliminary testing with InSe failed to produce a measurable terahertz spectrum, while RD-SOS and the superlattice produced a bandwidth of 0.4 THz and 0.25 THz, respectively. While RD-SOS has a wider bandwidth, the radiation generated from the superlattice is stronger by a factor of thirty. We discuss adjustments to the fabrication process that may improve their bandwidths, and close with the intents to use this measurement to test for phenomena unique to two-dimensional systems.

title: Forecasting Pedestrian Trajectory Using Deep Learning
Creators: name: Syed, Arsal
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: In this dissertation we develop different methods for forecasting pedestrian trajectories. Complete understanding of pedestrian motion is essential for autonomous agents and social robots to make realistic and safe decisions. Current trajectory prediction methods rely on incorporating historic motion, scene features and social interaction to model pedestrian behaviors. Our focus is to accurately understand scene semantics to better forecast trajectories. In order to do so, we leverage semantic segmentation to encode static scene features such as walkable paths, entry/exits, static obstacles etc. We further evaluate the effectiveness of using semantic maps on different datasets and compare its performance with already existing scene encoding approaches based on CNN/VGG16 architectures. Our experiments and results have shown significant improvement which validated our hypothesis regarding the efficiency of using fully segmented maps.

We also focus on better learning inter-pedestrian behavior. When pedestrians walk they tend to avoid collision with other pedestrians. Previously pedestrian-pedestrian interactions were modeled using social pooling techniques where a grid like structure with certain neighborhood is considered and then this information is passed through some neural network to capture social information. In our work we build a robust architecture to incorporate these social interactions via Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCN) and Transformers. GCN first, extracts Spatio-Temporal (ST) representations of pedestrians. Scene information is included through fully segmented output map and then an attention framework is applied on ST representations and scene features through transformers to predict future trajectories. Our experimental evaluation shows that such modeling technique shows significant decrease in prediction error compared to other grid pooling methods.

In our last work we propose a new frame work to forecast long term trajectories based on Inverse Reinforcement Learning. Simply learning input/output mapping of sequences for longer horizons tend to accumulate errors, therefore we come up with an approach which tends to learn an optimal policy for longer horizons via learning intermediate short term trajectories.
title: The Beat of a Subculture: A Study of the History and Impact of Non-pitched Percussion in Early Hip-hop
Creators: name: Taylor, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: This document presents a study of the origins and role of non-pitched, percussion-based samples in the history and development of the hip-hop genre. The survey presents an historical synopsis of hip-hop’s origins including the infrastructure of the genre, the DJ forefathers, and the music and drummers responsible for the subcultural emergence. Emphasis is placed on the specific genres of music that influenced the creation of hip-hop and the drummers responsible for the sounds that were appropriated to create new musical works. Influential drummers are examined, and transcriptions are given to aid the development of relevant drum set performance techniques. A portion of the manuscript will examine copyright effects on hip-hop music, including the ramifications of sampling and resulting adjustments to percussion performance practice. Finally, the document will serve as an appropriate vehicle for musicians and scholars to develop common ground on hip-hop culture.

title: Understanding and Addressing Preservice Elementary Teachers’ Misconceptions in Science Education
Creators: name: Thomas, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: Prior research has demonstrated that both children and adults alike hold misconceptions about various scientific phenomena (Snyder & Sullivan, 1995; Driver et al., 1985). These misconceptions range from a variety of different fields, including astronomy and space science, environmental biology, and geology, among others (Miller & Brewer, 2010; Wandersee et al., 1994; Ritger & Cummins, 1991). Research suggests that the vast majority of misconceptions are formed early in a students’ educational career, and these misconceptions could be held throughout adulthood unless they are sufficiently addressed (Coley & Tanner, 2012; Posner et al., 1982; Nehm & Reilly, 2007; Sadler et al., 2013). Thus, elementary teachers are tasked with providing students with the scientific information that will form their conceptions for years to come. This study seeks to identify, understand, and address misconceptions relating to K-4 Earth and Space Science material in a population of undergraduate preservice elementary teachers. The study population included 42 undergraduate students enrolled in an elementary science learning course. Students were given a modified MOSART pre-test to identify their misconceptions (see, e.g., Haladyna et al., 2002; Haladyna, 2004; Sadler, 1998; Sadler et al., 2009, 2013), two lesson plans, and a post-test. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected via student-provided responses and online lesson plans to form a quasi-experimental convergent mixed methods design. My analysis suggests that there was a statistically significant improvement between the pre-test and the post-test, indicating that this group of students improved upon their answers after completing these research-based lessons. This information, coupled with the student-provided free responses, indicate that while this population may hold misconceptions related to these topics, addressing these misconceptions through culturally relevant, inquiry-based or exploratory-based learning may assist in decreasing said misconceptions.
title: The Development of Prerequisite Skills and Concepts from Task-Based Interviews in Calculus Students with Low-Levels of Prerequisite Skills
Creators: name: Wong, Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: This task-based interview study examined the development of prerequisite skills and concepts and calculus skill and concepts of students who entered a first-semester calculus course with a low level of prerequisite skills. The participants in this study completed three task-based interviews with two tasks in each interview. The research question addressed by this study was, To what extent do task-based interviews reveal students’ prerequisite skills and conceptual understanding for applications of the derivative and how do these skills and understanding develop for students who have been classified as having low levels of prerequisite skills upon entering a calculus course? The theoretical framework used to track the development of students’ prerequisite and calculus skills and concepts was developed by Pirie and Kieren and contains eight layers of mathematical understanding. An assessment of prerequisite skills was used to identify students who are classified as having low level of prerequisite skills. The development of students’ prerequisite and calculus skills and concepts over the course of the three task-based interviews in this study provides a rationale for how instructors of calculus and prior courses can emphasize certain skills and concepts to help students have the necessary prerequisite skills to succeed in a calculus course. Data collected included an initial student survey, scores from the research-based assessment on prerequisite skills, and three task-based interviews from each of the participants in the study. Interviews were conducted at three different points in the semester: the second week of the semester, the seventh week of the semester after the participants learned procedural calculus rules, and the twelfth week of the semester after the participants learned applications of the derivative. Overall, each participant showed some improvement in prerequisite skills and concepts and most showed some improvement in calculus skills and concepts. While each student was initially classified as having low levels of prerequisite skills, improvement varied across the participants. One participant showed minimal improvement in prerequisite and calculus skills and concepts. One participant showed adequate improvement in prerequisite and calculus skills and concepts based on one of the tasks in the interviews, but minimal improvement based on the other task in the interviews. One participant showed an improvement in prerequisite skills and concepts, but no demonstrated improvement in calculus skills and concepts. Two participants showed substantial improvement in both prerequisite skills and concepts as well as calculus skills and concepts. Implications for researchers and teachers are discussed for the benefits of using rich tasks to reveal students’ thinking and the importance of making connections between tasks and connections between procedures and concepts.

title: The Butterfly Lovers’ Violin Concerto (1959)
Creators: name: Zhang, Ying
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2021

description: The study examines the importance of the Butterfly Lovers’ violin concerto (1959) by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang and the related research on its musical and culture context in China, focusing on how students from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music explored the use of Chinese traditional music elements on a western instrument, the violin in the 1950s. The dissertation discusses three aspects: the social and compositional introductory background, composition analysis and the influence of this piece in the eastern and western musical worlds. In the first chapter, I give a brief introduction to the piece. When the new People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, people had little familiarity with the violin; Chinese people had very little exposure to violin compositions, so composers wanted to invent a piece for violin and orchestra with the most familiar tunes from traditional operas that the general audience could relate to and understand. The first version of the Butterfly Lovers’ violin concerto, written by He Zhanhao, is a three-minute string quartet, subsequently arranged for solo violin and orchestral accompaniment in 1959. After the sensational premier performance at the Shanghai Lanxin Theatre by Yu Lina in 1959, the concerto was also arranged for violin and piano, making it more available to study and perform. This concerto is today one of the most famous instrumental pieces in China. In my literature review, I use documentaries and interviews related to the people involved in the project. I also include several journal articles, books, recordings, as well as their liner notes to exemplify the value of researching this concerto. In Chapter Two, I introduce the two main composers, He Zhanhao and Chen Gang, as well as a violinist, Yu Lina, on their innovation during the composition process, and include information about several world-class violinists such as Gil Shaham and Takako Nishizaki, on their performances and recordings for this piece, now required in some international violin competitions. Chapter Three contains information related to the form and structure of the piece. It is a one movement program music in sonata form; the main musical elements are inspired from Yue opera, also called Shaoxing opera, which developed in Zhejiang Province in 1906 from rural storytelling traditions into a dynamic urban opera form. Thus, there are many elements in the concerto that reflect musical elements in the opera tradition, including imitations of the sounds of traditional Chinese instruments such as erhu and pipa. In the last chapter, I conclude this study by talking about the significant influence of the piece in the subsequent historical and social climate.

description: The many faces and personalities of galaxies are shaped by physical processes that affect different components of the galaxy - like the bulges and discs - in different ways, and leave characteristic imprints on the light and spectra of these components. Disentangling their spectra can reveal vital clues that can be traced back in time to understand how galaxies, and their components, form and evolve throughout their lifetimes.
 While individual galaxies give important clues in exquisite detail, a more statistical approach is required to understand how galaxy populations evolve as a whole. BUDDI-MaNGA is building the first real statistical sample of bulge and disc spectra for local galaxies using MaNGA DR16 data, to look for systematic trends in the star formation histories of bulges and discs.
 In this talk, I present our preliminary science results on the derived spectra of bulges in spiral galaxies. Through analysis of their stellar populations and by comparing their mass-assembly histories, I explore bulge formation in galaxies at different stellar masses. We find that bulges in more massive galaxies show a more rapid build-up of their stellar populations, while we cannot find such a trend in the stellar populations of the discs. By further investigating the morphology of the host galaxies, we hunt for further clues on the formation scenarios of bulges found in today's galaxy population.

description: The continuous prediction of arterial blood pressure (ABP) waveforms via non-invasive methods is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Photoplethysmography (PPG) can be used to reconstruct ABP signals due to having the same excitation source and high signal similarity. The existing methods of reconstructing ABP signals from PPG only focus on the similarities between systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures without evaluating their global similarity. This paper proposes a deep learning model with a W-Net architecture to reconstruct ABP signals from PPG. The W-Net consists of two concatenated U-Net architectures, the first acting as an encoder and the second as a decoder to reconstruct ABP from PPG. Five hundred records of different lengths were used for training and testing. The experimental results yielded high values for the similarity measures between the reconstructed ABP signals and their reference ABP signals: the Pearson correlation, root mean square error, and normalized dynamic time warping distance were 0.995, 2.236 mmHg, and 0.612 mmHg on average, respectively. The mean absolute errors of the SBP and DBP were 2.602 mmHg and 1.450 mmHg on average, respectively. Therefore, the model can reconstruct ABP signals that are highly similar to the reference ABP signals.

 Distribution. No data.
 Note. Gridelli (1939b) notes that this subspecies (originally described as a species) is a synonym of either the nominative form or M. gerstaeckeri andreinii. However, the female holotype lacks the characters needed to further clarify the synonymy, so until more evidence is examined, this subspecies is retained as valid.

description: Abstract: Steady progress is being made across the Earth and space science disciplines to move towards more common sharing of the data and software that supports our research. As each discipline determines what is best for them, the experience gained by synthesis center communities is valuable to support the collaboration needed for cross-discipline teams and international efforts. In our work on the PARSEC project, the Data Leadership team at AGU is applying what we learn to the guidance and support we provide to our researchers. Here we will share this learning and our effort to prepare for a more transparent and reproducible future.

Measurements of Higgs boson production cross-sections in the H → τ+τ− decay channel in pp collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2023

description: Measurements of the production cross-sections of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson (H) decaying into a pair of τ-leptons are presented. The measurements use data collected with the ATLAS detector from pp collisions produced at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. Leptonic (τ → ℓνℓντ) and hadronic (τ → hadrons ντ) decays of the τ-lepton are considered. All measurements account for the branching ratio of H → ττ and are performed with a requirement |yH| < 2.5, where yH is the true Higgs boson rapidity. The cross-section of the pp → H → ττ process is measured to be 2.94 ± 0.21 stat − 0.32 + 0.37 $$ 0.21{\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)}_{-0.32}^{+0.37} $$ (syst) pb, in agreement with the SM prediction of 3.17 ± 0.09 pb. Inclusive cross-sections are determined separately for the four dominant production modes: 2.65 ± 0.41 stat − 0.67 + 0.91 $$ 0.41{\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)}_{-0.67}^{+0.91} $$ (syst) pb for gluon-gluon fusion, 0.197 ± 0.028 stat − 0.026 + 0.032 $$ 0.028{\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)}_{-0.026}^{+0.032} $$ (syst) pb for vector-boson fusion, 0.115 ± 0.058 stat − 0.040 + 0.042 $$ 0.058{\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)}_{-0.040}^{+0.042} $$ (syst) pb for vector-boson associated production, and 0.033 ± 0.031 stat − 0.017 + 0.022 $$ 0.031{\left(\mathrm{stat}\right)}_{-0.017}^{+0.022} $$ (syst) pb for top-quark pair associated production. Measurements in exclusive regions of the phase space, using the simplified template cross-section framework, are also performed. All results are in agreement with the SM predictions.
