description: Protein misfolding and aggregation is a characteristic of many neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The oligomers generated during aggregation are likely involved in disease pathogenesis and present promising biomarker candidates. However, owing to their small size and low concentration, specific tools to quantify and characterize aggregates in complex biological samples are still lacking. Here, we present single-molecule two-color aggregate pulldown (STAPull), which overcomes this challenge by probing immobilized proteins using orthogonally labeled detection antibodies. By analyzing colocalized signals, we can eliminate monomeric protein and specifically quantify aggregated proteins. Using the aggregation-prone alpha-synuclein protein as a model, we demonstrate that this approach can specifically detect aggregates with a limit of detection of 5 picomolar. Furthermore, we show that STAPull can be used in a range of samples, including human biofluids. STAPull is applicable to protein aggregates from a variety of disorders and will aid in the identification of biomarkers that are crucial in the effort to diagnose these diseases.

description: We systematically investigate the weakly trapped spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates with spin-orbit coupling in an external Zeeman field. We find that the mean-field ground state favors either a magnetized standing wave phase or plane wave phase when the strength of Zeeman field is below a critical value related to the strength of spin-orbit coupling. Zeeman field can induce the phase transition between standing wave and plane wave phases, and we determine the phase boundary analytically and numerically. The magnetization of these two phases responds to the external magnetic field in a very unique manner, the linear Zeeman effect magnetizes the standing wave phase along the direction of the magnetic field, but the quadratic one demagnetizes the plane wave phase. When the strength of Zeeman field surpasses the critical value, the system is completely polarized to a ferromagnetic state or polar state with zero momentum.
title: LEVODOPA-INDUCED DYSKINESIA IN PARKINSON’S DISEASE: INSIGHTS FROM CROSS-COHORT PROGNOSTIC ANALYSIS USING MACHINE LEARNING

description: Background
Prolonged levodopa treatment, commonly prescribed to alleviate motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD), often leads to adverse effects, including involuntary adventitious movements known as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID). While most PD patients develop LID during later disease stages, some patients remain free from this symptom despite receiving continuous levodopa treatment. The key factors distinguishing affected from unaffected treated patients are still largely unknown.
Objective
This study explores the application of machine learning in predicting LID development in PD patients over a 4-year period using baseline clinical data to discover the relevant clinical biomarkers.
Methods
We use data from three large-scale, longitudinal PD cohorts to build models for cross-cohort prognosis of LID to discover the potential risk and protective factors for LID development using baseline clinical assessments. Apart from investigating predictive factors for LID in each cohort separately, we examine the differences and similarities between the cohorts to identify the most robust shared predictors and assess cohort-specific variability and confounding factors. Furthermore, we critically assess the benefits and limitations of cross-study normalization approaches. With a focus on interpretable tree-based machine learning models, we compare multiple modeling approaches for LID prognosis and time-to-LID.
Results
Cross-validation results using multiple performance metrics indicate that individual clinical features tend to have only a moderate association with dyskinesia development, but their combination can provide significant prognostic information.
Conclusion
Overall, this study provides robust explainable machine learning models for LID prognosis and time-to-LID to define the risk factors and the association in multi-cohorts. It may help to lay the ground for earlier and more effective interventions against LID development in PD.

description: Observations from the Heliospheric Imagers (HI-1) on both the STEREO spacecraft have been analysed to search for bright low mass eclipsing binaries (EBs) and potential brown dwarf transits and to determine the radii of the companions. A total of 9 EB candidates have been found, ranging in brightness from V=6.59 mag to V=11.3 mag, where the radius of the companion appears to be less than 0.4 Rsol, with a diverse range of host temperatures, from 4074 K to 6925 K. Both components of one candidate, BD-07 3648, appear to be less than 0.4 Rsol and this represents a particularly interesting system for further study. The shapes of the eclipses in some cases are not clear enough to be certain they are total and the corresponding radii found should therefore be considered as lower limits. The EBs reported in this paper have either been newly found by the present analysis, or previously reported to be eclipsing by our earlier STEREO/HI-1 results. One of the new objects has subsequently been confirmed using archival SuperWASP data. This study was made possible by using an improved matched filter extraction algorithm, which is described in this paper.

Diagrammatic confluence for Constraint Handling Rules

description: Confluence is a fundamental property of Constraint Handling Rules (CHR) since, as in other rewriting formalisms, it guarantees that the computations are not dependent on rule application order, and also because it implies the logical consistency of the program declarative view. In this paper we are concerned with proving the confluence of non-terminating CHR programs. For this purpose, we derive from van Oostrom's decreasing diagrams method a novel criterion on CHR critical pairs that generalizes all preexisting criteria. We subsequently improve on a result on the modularity of CHR confluence, which permits modular combinations of possibly non-terminating confluent programs, without loss of confluence.

description: Dense stellar systems such as globular clusters and dense nuclear clusters are the breeding ground of sources of gravitational waves for the advanced detectors LIGO and Virgo. These systems deserve a close study to estimate rates and parameter distribution. This is not an easy task, since the evolution of a dense stellar cluster involves the integration of $N$ bodies with high resolution in time and space and including hard binaries and their encounters and, in the case of gravitational waves (GWs), one needs to take into account important relativistic corrections. In this work we present the first implementation of the effect of spin in mergers in a direct-summation code, NBODY6. We employ non-spinning post-Newtonian corrections to the Newtonian accelerations up to 3.5 post-Newtonian (PN) order as well as the spin-orbit coupling up to next-to-lowest order and the lowest order spin-spin coupling. We integrate spin precession and add a consistent treatment of mergers. We analyse the implementation by running a set of two-body experiments and then we run a set of 500 simulations of a relativistic stellar cluster. In spite of the large number of mergers in our tests, the application of the algorithm is robust. We find in particular the formation of a runaway star whose spin decays with the mass it wins, independently of the initial value of the spins of the stars. More remarkably, the subset of compact objects that do not undergo many mergers, and hence represent a more realistic system, has a correlation between the final absolute spin and the initial choice for the initial distribution, which could provide us with information about the evolution of spins in dense clusters once the first detections have started.

The Relationship Between Sex-Typing and Help-Seeking Behaviors in Adults
Creators: name: Juvrud, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: The process of expressing what is masculine promotes attitudes and behaviors that can discourage men from seeking help, contributing to numerous health issues in males. The purpose of this study was to explore how personally endorsed gender stereotypes vs. gender stereotyped attitudes impacted help-seeking behavior. In the current study, female and male adults completed challenging puzzle tasks, recalled previous health help-seeking behavior, and completed sex-typed measures. Females utilized personally endorsed gender stereotypes more during the puzzle tasks, while males utilized both personally endorsed gender stereotypes as well as gender stereotyped attitudes. When males recalled health-related events, however, personally endorsed feminine stereotypes predicted previous instances of help-seeking, suggesting a possible difference in the utilization of pathways during recalled vs. observable help-seeking behaviors. Findings demonstrated that personal and attitudinal pathways of gender stereotypes play distinct roles for males and females in predicting help-seeking behavior.
Exploring Cartan gravity with dynamical symmetry breaking

description: It has been known for some time that General Relativity can be regarded as a Yang-Mills-type gauge theory in a symmetry broken phase. In this picture the gravity sector is described by an $SO(1,4)$ or $SO(2,3)$ gauge field $A^{a}_{\phantom{a}bμ}$ and Higgs field $V^{a}$ which acts to break the symmetry down to that of the Lorentz group $SO(1,3)$. This symmetry breaking mirrors that of electroweak theory. However, a notable difference is that while the Higgs field $Φ$ of electroweak theory is taken as a genuine dynamical field satisfying a Klein-Gordon equation, the gauge independent norm $V^2\equiv η_{ab}V^{a}V^{b}$ of the Higgs-type field $V^a$ is typically regarded as non-dynamical. Instead, in many treatments $V^a$ does not appear explicitly in the formalism or is required to satisfy $V^2 = \mathrm{const.} \neq 0$ by means of a Lagrangian constraint. As an alternative to this we propose a class of polynomial actions that treat both the gauge connection $A^{a}_{\phantom{a}bμ}$ and Higgs field $V^a$ as genuine dynamical fields with no ad-hoc constraints imposed. The resultant equations of motion consist of a set of first-order partial differential equations. We show that for certain actions these equations may be cast in a second-order form, corresponding to a scalar-tensor model of gravity. One simple choice leads to the extensively studied Peebles-Ratra rolling quintessence model. Another choice yields a scalar-tensor symmetry broken phase of the theory with positive cosmological constant and an effective mass $M$ of the gravitational Higgs field ensuring the constancy of $V^2$ at low energies and agreement with empirical data if $M$ is sufficiently large. More general cases are discussed corresponding to variants of Chern-Simons modified gravity and scalar-Euler form gravity, each of which yield propagating torsion.

Examples of low dimensional noncommutative tori are analyzed in more detail and all connections found that are compatible with an admissible Dirac operator. Conversely, a family of new Dirac operators on the noncommutative tori, which arise from the base-space Dirac operator and a suitable connection is exhibited. These examples are extended to the theta-deformed principal U(1)-bundle S^3_θ-> S^2.

description: The intercalated layered nitride $β$-HfNCl has attracted much attention due to the high superconducting transition temperature up to 25.5 K. Electrons can be introduced into $β$-$M$NCl ($M$=Zr and Hf) through alkali-metals intercalation to realize the superconductivity. Here, we report the observation of superconductivity in rare-earth metals cointercalated compounds Yb$_x$($Me$)$_y$HfNCl with $Me$ = NH$_3$ and tetrahydrofuran (THF), which were synthesized by the liquid ammonia method at room temperature. The superconducting transition temperature is about 23 K and 24.6 K for Yb$_{0.2}$(NH$_3$)$_y$HfNCl and Yb$_{0.3}$(NH$_3$)$_y$HfNCl, respectively. Replacing the NH$_3$ with a larger molecule THF, superconducting transition temperature increases to 25.2 K in Yb$_{0.2}$(THF)$_y$HfNCl, which is almost the same as the highest $T_{\rm c}$ reported in the alkali-metals intercalated HfNCl superconductors. The $T_{\rm c}$ of Yb$_{0.2}$(THF)$_y$HfNCl is apparently suppressed by pressure up to 0.5 GPa, while the pressure effect on $T_{\rm c}$ becomes very small above 0.5 GPa. The liquid ammonia method is proved to be an effective synthetic method to intercalate metal ions into HfNCl. Our results suggest that the superconductivity in these layered intercalated superconductors nearly does not rely on the intercalated metal ions, even magnetic ion.

description: "Model-free control" and the corresponding "intelligent" PID controllers (iPIDs), which already had many successful concrete applications, are presented here for the first time in an unified manner, where the new advances are taken into account. The basics of model-free control is now employing some old functional analysis and some elementary differential algebra. The estimation techniques become quite straightforward via a recent online parameter identification approach. The importance of iPIs and especially of iPs is deduced from the presence of friction. The strange industrial ubiquity of classic PID's and the great difficulty for tuning them in complex situations is deduced, via an elementary sampling, from their connections with iPIDs. Several numerical simulations are presented which include some infinite-dimensional systems. They demonstrate not only the power of our intelligent controllers but also the great simplicity for tuning them.

description: Elementary processes in astrophysical phenomena traditionally attract researchers attention. At first this can be attributed to a group of hemi-ionization processes in Rydberg atom collisions with ground state parent atoms. This processes might be studied as a prototype of the elementary process of the radiation energy transformation into electrical one. The studies of nonlinear mechanics have shown that so called regime of dynamic chaos should be considered as typical, rather than exceptional situation in Rydberg atoms collision. From comparison of theory with experimental results it follows that a such kind of stochastic dynamic processes, occurred during the single collision, may be observed.

description: Excerpts from the report: Spot cotton quotations are issued in each of 15 designated markets. These markets are Greenville, Charleston, Augusta, Atlanta, and Montgomery in the Southeast; New Orleans, Little Rock, Memphis, and Greenwood in the South Central Region; Dallas, Houston, Galveston, and Lubbock in the Southwest; and Fresno and Phoenix in the West. The quotations are used extensively by individuals and groups in the merchandising of cotton, and by U.S. Government agencies in administering price support and sales programs for cotton. This study was undertaken for two reasons. First, all phases of the cotton marketing system are continuously changing, but nearly 10 years have elapsed since a study was made of the accuracy of the official spot quotations. Second, in recent years, public interest in the spot quotations system has continued to mount because of the increasing dependence upon the quotations as a basis for the Government price support and sales program for cotton. The specific objectives of the study were (1) to determine the relationships between the official spot quotations and spot values for cotton in each designated market during the seasons of 1959-60 and 1960-61, and (2) to determine the relationships between the differentials quoted and the differentials paid in terms of averages for groups of markets and for extended periods of time.

description: The dwarf snakehead Channa gachua (Hamilton, 1822) (type locality Bengal) has been reported from a vast range, from Iran to Taiwan, and northern India to Sri Lanka. Here, adopting an integrative taxonomic approach, we show that the Sri Lankan snakehead previously referred to as C. gachua is in fact a distinct species, for which the name C. kelaartii (Günther, 1861) is available. Widely distributed in streams and ponds throughout Sri Lanka’s lowlands, and also recorded here from the east-flowing drainages of southern peninsular India, C. kelaartii is distinguished from all the other species of the C. gachua species group by the combination of head shape, dorsal- and anal-fin ray counts, scale counts, the presence of pelvic fins, and live adult coloration. Further, C. kelaartii is genetically distinct from topotypical C. gachua by an uncorrected pairwise distance of 7.9 – 8.8 % for the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene.

description: Due to an absence of social and religious tradition, Las Vegas provided the perfect setting for Jewish and Mormon faiths to create communities closely linked to their own spiritual doctrine. This thesis traces the evolution of these groups from the turn of the twentieth-century to the present, focusing on issues such as education, geographic location, and business acumen as avenues for personal and spiritual growth. This thesis also considers the relatively small number of religious studies conducted in the American West, and serves as a possible example for future study by using an urban religious framework to synthesize the dearth of western religious information. To be sure, the mythical nature of Las Vegas as "Sin City" colors the spiritual lives of its citizens like no other city in America. Hopefully, this thesis begins to shed light on the vibrant religious culture springing from the area.

description: We discuss optical forces exerted on particles, either dielectric or metallic, near a subwavelength slit illuminated by a photonic nanojet. We compare those cases in which the Mie resonances are or are not excited. The configurations on study are 2D, hence those particles are infinite cylinders and, in order to obtain extraordinary transmission, the illuminating beam is p-polarized. We show the different effects of these particle resonances on the optical forces: while whispering gallery modes under those illumination conditions weaken the force strength, this latter is enhanced by localized plasmon excitation. Also, illuminating the slit with a nanojet enhances the optical forces on the particle at the exit of the aperture by a factor between 3 and 10 compared with illumination of the slit with a Gausian beam. In addition, the pulling force that such a small resonant metallic particle suffers on direct illumination by a nanojet, can change by the presence of the slit, so that it may become repulsive at certain lateral positions of the particle.
Resilience and Trauma in Maltreated Youth
Creators: name: Day, Timothy
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: Research into resilience represents a theoretical shift from the medical model in contemporary psychology to a focus on adaptation (Poulou, 2007). The relationship however between resilience and the development and PTSD in children remains unclear. The purpose of this present study is to expand on this research by investigating resilience and adaptability with respect to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms across maltreated youth of different ethnicities at risk for PTSD. Participants will be recruited from a Department of Family Services (DFS)-affiliated clinic in the Las Vegas area and administered the Children's PTSD Inventory (CPTSD-I), Behavior Assessment System for Children-2 Parent Rating Scales (BASC-2 PRS), and Resiliency Scale for Children and Adolescents (RSCA). Multiple regression will be used to analyze the relationship between specific PTSD symptoms, ethnicity, and BASC-2 PRS and RSCA Resiliency Subscales. Implications are discussed.

Dirac operator on spinors and diffeomorphisms

description: The issue of general covariance of spinors and related objects is reconsidered. Given an oriented manifold $M$, to each spin structure $σ$ and Riemannian metric $g$ there is associated a space $S_{σ, g}$ of spinor fields on $M$ and a Hilbert space $\HH_{σ, g}= L^2(S_{σ, g},\vol{M}{g})$ of $L^2$-spinors of $S_{σ, g}$. The group $\diff{M}$ of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms of $M$ acts both on $g$ (by pullback) and on $[σ]$ (by a suitably defined pullback $f^*σ$). Any $f\in \diff{M}$ lifts in exactly two ways to a unitary operator $U$ from $\HH_{σ, g} $ to $\HH_{f^*σ,f^*g}$. The canonically defined Dirac operator is shown to be equivariant with respect to the action of $U$, so in particular its spectrum is invariant under the diffeomorphisms.

Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Investigation of Steel Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacted Concrete
Creators: name: Gebretsadik, Belayhun Tesfaye
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: Concrete is a basic material used for a number of applications in civil engineering projects. Structural concrete is brittle material under normal conditions. Therefore, by adding short and randomly distributed steel fibers, it is possible to improve the ductility and other basic properties of concrete. However, the addition of steel fibers results in loss of workability of the concrete, especially in self-compacted concrete. Therefore, in this study, ADVA-140 high range water reducer (HRWR) superplasticizer was added to improve the workability of self-compacted (SC), steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC). The amount of superplasticizer varied with the volume percentage of fiber for the beams; however, it was kept constant for the cylinder, as shown in Tables 4-2 and 4-3, respectively. Other admixtures, such as fly ash and silica fumes, were also added to improve the concrete properties. Type II deformed steel fibers with a diameter of 0.023 in and length of 0.75 in were added to the mix. The amount of steel fibers varied from 0-4% for the beam samples and from 0-2% for the cylinder samples. The samples were selfcompacted to allow for self-setting without applying vibration in order to avoid materials
segregation and bleeding.
A total of 18 beam samples and 5 cylindrical samples were investigated in this
experiment. The ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) method was applied to detect flaws and characterize the properties steel fiber reinforced self-compacted concrete. This method is used to measure the time required for the ultrasonic wave to travel through the test material and energy attenuation. Knowing the time of flight, it is possible to calculate the wave velocity through the material. This study investigated the effects of steel fiber volumes, curing periods, wet and dry conditions (saturation), and fiber and aggregate orientations on UPV. The result showed that by controlling measurement errors and environmental factors, the UPV is a very promising method to detect concrete flaws and to estimate design properties in concrete structures.

Biomechanical Comparison of a Rounded Outsole Shoe and Traditional Outsole Shoe
Creators: name: Horsch, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of shoe outsole design on maximum vertical acceleration and select kinematic parameters during level and uphill walking across phases of stance. Twelve participants, 7 males (75.1±9.3 kg, 173.6±3.6 cm, 22.9±3.5 yrs) and 5 females (56.5±5.1 kg, 158.3±4.5 cm, 25.4±11.1 yrs) granted written consent and preferred walking speed was determined. An accelerometer (480 Hz) was attached to the distal leg to measure maximum leg acceleration (Aleg) and an electrogoniometer (480 Hz) was placed on the back to measure sagittal lumbar motion (LumbarROM). Sagittal video capture (60 Hz) included thigh range of motion (ThighROM), knee range of motion (KneeROM) and ankle range of motion (AnkleROM). Participants walked on a treadmill in each of four randomized conditions: 1) Rounded outsole shoe (ROS) at 0% incline, 2) Traditional outsole shoe (TOS) at 0% incline, 3) ROS at 5% incline and 4) TOS at 5% incline. Participants walked at 10% greater than preferred pace. Data were obtained from five consecutive gait cycles. For each gait cycle, stance was normalized to 100%. Stance phase was further divided into Phase I, II, and III. Data analysis included a 2 (shoe) x 2 (incline) repeated measure ANOVA (?=0.05) for ALEG, LumbarROM, ThighROM, KneeROM, and AnkleROM at each phase of stance (Phase I, II, and III). Post hoc paired t-Tests were performed for significant interaction. Results show seven of the fifteen dependent variables for shoe differed significantly (p

description: In this work, we have considered the flat FRW model of the universe in $(n+2)$-dimensions filled with the dark matter (perfect fluid with negligible pressure) and the modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) type dark energy. We present the Hubble parameter in terms of the observable parameters $Ω_{m0}$, $Ω_{x0}$ and $H_{0}$ with the redshift $z$ and the other parameters like $A$, $B$, $C$, $n$ and $α$. From Stern data set (12 points), we have obtained the bounds of the arbitrary parameters by minimizing the $χ^{2}$ test. The best-fit values of the parameters are obtained by 66%, 90% and 99% confidence levels. Now to find the bounds of the parameters and to draw the statistical confidence contour, we first fixed three parameters $C, n, α$ and then fixed the three parameters $A, n, α$. In the first case we find the bounds of $(A, B)$ and draw the contour between them for 4D$(n=2)$, 5D$(n=3)$ and 6D$(n=4)$. In the second case we fixed three different values of A as 1, 1/3, -1/3 to find the bounds of $(B, C)$ and draw the contour between them. Here the parameter $n$ determines the higher dimensions and we perform comparative study between three cases : 4D $(n=2)$, 5D $(n=3)$ and 6D $(n=4)$ respectively. Next due to joint analysis with BAO observation, we have also obtained the bounds of the parameters ($A,B$) by fixing some other parameters $α$ and $A$ for 4D, 5D and 6D.

Prosecuting Collateral Consequences
Creators: name: Jain, Eisha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Criminal law scholars have long agreed that prosecutors wield vast and largely unreviewable discretion in the criminal justice system. This Article argues that this discretion now extends beyond criminal penalties and broadly reaches civil public policy decisions, such as deportation and licensing. As a result of ubiquitous plea bargaining and collateral consequences — state-imposed civil penalties that are triggered by criminal convictions — prosecutors can deliberately exercise discretion to trigger or avoid important civil consequences. This aspect of prosecutorial discretion has been underexamined, partly because of a lack of awareness of collateral consequences. But as a result of important new initiatives designed to promote information about collateral consequences, prosecutors as well as defendants are becoming more likely to know that even minor convictions can trigger much more serious civil penalties. As some commentators have pointed out, prosecutors who are aware of collateral consequences may have powerful incentives to drop charges or otherwise structure pleas to minimize the likelihood of certain collateral consequences. But importantly, prosecutors also have strong structural incentives to take the opposite approach and reach pleas to maximize the likelihood of civil penalties. For some prosecutors, enforcing collateral consequences serves as an administratively efficient substitute for a criminal conviction, as a source of leverage, as a way to circumvent the requirements of criminal procedure, as a means of achieving deterrence or retribution, or as a way to promote their own public policy preferences. This Article develops an analytic framework for understanding the structural incentives that lead prosecutors to influence collateral consequences; exposes legal and ethical problems associated with plea bargaining in light of collateral consequences; and argues that collateral consequences can undermine important interests in transparency and accountability.
