description:
Aside from the pursuit of strictly musical ideas, a significant goal throughout the composition of this piece was in allowing my social and political interests to inform the work's aesthetic properties. As a result, it occupies a hazy region between the absolute and the referential, being free from a strict narrative, yet intended to suggest symbols that are frequently associated with May 1st. The conflicting themes and imagery that surround this day have proven to be a great source of inspiration and seem well suited for the craft of composition, a creative medium that is firmly rooted in the notion of tension and release. While the pre-Christian origins of the holiday can be traced back to various points around the globe in the Eastern and Western hemispheres, its celebration has significantly expanded in meaning within the last century. While its traditional imagery crystallized into symbols of the innocent, serene, and pastoral, capitalism's rise and the emergence of a new employing class furnished it with additional meaning throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Due in part to its proximity to the Chicago Haymarket riots on May 4th, 1886, the holiday has since served as a surrogate memorial for the affair and has continually evolved throughout the decades into an all-purpose day of rage for the resistant and disenfranchised. Ironically, its meaning has come full circle within the last half-century, as sustainability and the search for alternative energy sources have made their way to the forefront of the public debate. It is precisely this nexus that I wish to show the listener: a point of convergence between the pastoral, industrial, and resistant.

title: Rhetorical mindfulness and eco-criticism: inhabiting the space of first-year composition
Creators: name: Medina, Dylan
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2012

description:
First-year composition (FYC) holds a peculiar place in the realm of higher education. Frequently, it is the only universally mandated course that students must pass implying the presupposed value of the class. However, while FYC is generally valued highly, it is highly misunderstood. Much of this misunderstanding stems from various fallacious, problematic, or limited views of what writing is, how it is produced, and how it is best taught. This paper seeks to find a place for FYC by discussing what the course can and cannot accomplish. Post-structuralist work in semiotics, like that of Roland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, and others, provides a foundational discussion on and problematizes the ways language represents the world. Ecocritical theory proposed by Lawrence Buell and Dana Phillips addresses these problems by allowing representation to be reconnected to the space it represents. Beyond the role that space plays, Discourse theory outlined by Barbara Johnstone, among others, demonstrates the relationship between space and Discourse. This paper then moves to genre theory, which stems from the works of Amy Devitt and Anis Bawarshi, among others, providing a focus on the particular genres that individuals must inhabit to emerge into rhetorical situations. This genre becomes a nexus in which the external and internal latent matrices clash and are linked. Genre-awareness, which allows individuals to understand how specific genres respond to the rhetorical situation, plays a critical role in providing choice, and thus agency to the individuals. For this reason, genre-awareness is a key component to a successful FYC course. This paper links ecocriticism with genre theory to suggest that, beyond genre-awareness, rhetorical mindfulness, or a mindfulness of all of the forces within the latent matrices, is another crucial component of FYC. Genre-awareness and rhetorical mindfulness are easily integrated into and central components to an FYC course. These tools allow students to become conscious of their ways of existing rhetorically and gain some degree of choice, and thus, agency, as they move through future rhetorical situations they encounter in their lives.

description: Map-based services like Google Maps have become a part of daily life. The key to many of these services is in finding points-of-interest through the road network. For example, a ride-hailing app like Uber must find the nearest drivers to your location by their ETA. As a result, accurately and efficiently finding such points-of-interest in road networks has become an important area of scientific endeavour. This thesis tells a story of a long-neglected strategy known as “Decouple Heuristics”, which we revive to develop new techniques that significantly improve the performance of road network point-of-interest search.

description: This PhD research developed and evaluated for the first time an interactive system (MIC) that assists parents learning sign language to begin to communicate with their hearing-impaired children. MIC is the first system in the world that can provide different types of visual feedback on performance of sign language learners in the absence of human teachers. Much work remains to be done, but we anticipate that as the technology and research in this area develops, it will one day become increasingly accessible for parents, including those living in remote places, to learn sign language.

description: Consider a decision maker who is responsible to collect observations so as to enhance his information in a speedy manner about an underlying phenomena of interest. The policies under which the decision maker selects sensing actions can be categorized based on the following two factors: i) sequential vs. non-sequential; ii) adaptive vs. non-adaptive. Non-sequential policies collect a fixed number of observation samples and make the final decision afterwards; while under sequential policies, the sample size is not known initially and is determined by the observation outcomes. Under adaptive policies, the decision maker relies on the previous collected samples to select the next sensing action; while under non-adaptive policies, the actions are selected independent of the past observation outcomes. In this paper, performance bounds are provided for the policies in each category. Using these bounds, sequentiality gain and adaptivity gain, i.e., the gains of sequential and adaptive selection of actions are characterized.

Creators: name: Howe, Michael Patrick
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: I have come to believe that the core of our declining physical, mental and community health dwells in the current practice of land use based development. Although today's land use codes began as a legitimate response to protect people's health and welfare it has since devolved into an unsustainable process. The failure of land-use zoning is rooted in an informational disconnect created by the segregation of land into distinct uses while offering generic design standards. Whereas the current mode of land use-based zoning results in an unpredictable physical form, Form-Based Codes foster a connection between the individual to the available networks of public space and circulation in a language that is commonly understood. The urban process has gone from prescriptive traditional responses to proscriptive regulations.
The solution may well in an evolving development process exemplified by the recent discoveries made in self-organizing systems and emergent networks. I propose that we pick up the discussion where Jane Jacobs's left off more than forty years ago in the final chapter her book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities , and look at the type of problem that urban development poses. It is my belief that there is a regulatory process available that can exceed the expectations of a sustainable urban environment. The core of this thesis is to explain how the Form-Based Code process is founded upon a self-organizing cycle of self-educating individuals who make positive contributions to urban development.
My chosen methodology begins with a general explanation of the typical Form-Based Code and the ways in which this regulatory process is adopted. This is followed by a brief examination of what constitutes a complex system and the common techniques of analyzing how it works. The tools for complex systems analyses are then applied the Form-Based Code process to illustrate its inherent self-organizing strength.

description: In this note we introduce the class of $\mathcal H$-groups (or Hall groups) related to the class of $\mathcal B$-groups defined by Ph. Hall in 1950's. Establishing some basic properties of Hall groups we use them to obtain results concerning embeddings of abelian groups. In particular, we give an explicit classification of all abelian groups that can occur as subgroups in finitely-generated metabelian groups. Hall groups allow to give a negative answer to the Baumslag's conjecture of 1990 on the cardinality of the set of isomorphism classes for abelian subgroups in finitely generated metabelian groups.

title: The place of the environment in the Columbia River Treaty
Creators: name: Smith, Elliott Charles
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2012

description:
At the end of World War II the United States embarked on an ambitious agenda of dam construction to stimulate the economy of the Pacific Northwest. A complete hydroelectric system was planned, including upstream storage dams that would moderate the river's seasonal flow fluctuations and downstream run of river dams that would produce electricity with the modified flow. Assigned to the politically powerful Army Corps of Engineers, the downstream dams proceeded on schedule, while the upstream dams stalled under the direction of the weaker Interior Department. The United States was left in an untenable situation where the downstream dams would sit losing money for most of the year, unable to produce sufficient electricity to repay their cost of construction with the river's unmoderated flow. Political opposition and environmental pressures ultimately coalesced to halt the construction of the upstream dams in the United States, and made Canada the most feasible location for adding upstream storage. This plan ultimately became the 1964 Columbia River Treaty. To fishery advocates, the Treaty was an attractive plan because previous dam construction had made salmon runs extinct on the Canadian Columbia, whereas salmon still ran on the American tributaries where upstream storage had been previously proposed. As such, this study finds that contrary to what has previously been understood about the Columbia River Treaty, the United States pursued the agreement in part out of environmental motives. The construction of three dams in British Columbia under the Treaty ultimately had significant negative ecological consequences for valleys flooded out by reservoirs, and the elimination of seasonal floods was detrimental to salmon runs downstream in the United States.

description: In the era of big data, huge amounts of data are being generated from the internet, social networks, phone apps, and so on, which creates high demand for powerful and efficient data analysis techniques. In areas such as collaborative filtering, text analysis, graph analysis, and bioinformatics, a large proportion of such data can be formulated into discrete matrices. This research focuses on developing structured Bayesian latent factor models with meta-data for analysing discrete data in the above areas. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, the proposed approaches have achieved not only better modelling performance and efficiency, but also preferable interpretability for intuitively understanding those data.

description: The Higgs boson mass and the abundance of dark matter constrain the CMSSM/mSUGRA supersymmetry breaking inputs. A complete map of the CMSSM that is consistent with these two measured quantities is provided. Various "continents," consisting of non-excluded models, can be organized by their dark matter dynamics. The following mechanisms manifest: well-tempering, resonant pseudo-scalar Higgs annihilation, neutralino/stau coannihilations and neutralino/stop coannihilations. Benchmark models are chosen in order to characterize the viable regions. The expected visible signals of each are described, demonstrating a wide range of predictions for the 13 TeV LHC and a high degree of complementarity between dark matter and collider experiments. The parameter space spans a finite volume, which can be probed in its entirety with experiments currently under consideration.

description: Deep neural models in natural language processing rely on large amounts of labeled data. In the real world, annotation can be expensive and time consuming. In this project, the aim is to learn good deep neural models with a minimum amount of labeled data. We take multiple strategies to achieve this goal: we use structured information from the data, incorporate prior knowledge for the model and learn an active learning policy for annotation. Experiments on simulated and real word tasks show these strategies are useful and effective.

Some physical and chemical indices of clique-inserted-lattices

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The operation of replacing every vertex of an $r$-regular lattice $H$ by a complete graph of order $r$ is called clique-inserting, and the resulting lattice is called the clique-inserted-lattice of $H$. For any given $r$-regular lattice, applying this operation iteratively, an infinite family of $r$-regular lattices is generated. Some interesting lattices including the 3-12-12 lattice can be constructed this way. In this paper, we reveal the relationship between the energy and resistance distance of an $r$-regular lattice and that of its clique-inserted-lattice. As an application, the asymptotic energy per vertex and average resistance distance of the 3-12-12 and 3-6-24 lattices are computed. We also give formulae expressing the numbers of spanning trees and dimers of the $k$-th iterated clique-inserted lattices in terms of that of the original lattice. Moreover, we show that new families of expander graphs can be constructed from the known ones by clique-inserting.
title: Is there power in perception?: perceived economic condition and perceived immigrant population their impact on negative attitudes towards immigrants
Creators: name: Martin, Joshua
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2011

description:
This study examines some of the potential underlying conditions that trigger prejudice against immigrants in Western Europe. The specific factors of economic concerns and perceptions of immigration population are used to generate three hypotheses 1) that economic concerns and perceptions of large immigrant populations drive negative attitude formation toward immigrants, and these factors are especially acute when they interact, 2) the two factors contribute to negative attitude formation regardless of societal context, and 3) that the two factors of study are not spurious and are able to withstand the factoring in of exclusionary variables. The study uses the 2008 wave of the European Social Survey for testing and finds that the hypotheses are partially confirmed. Economic concern is a factor when an individual is thinking about their country at large and when personal concerns interact with perceptions of high immigration, however the degree to which these factors influence negative attitude formation may be tempered by societal context. The larger finding of this study is that negative attitude formation toward immigrants is largely affected by an individual's personal level of happiness, life satisfaction, and general feelings of fairness and trust. This study is left to conclude that animosity or negative feelings toward immigrants is an external demonstration of internal dissatisfaction, in other words a symptom of an underlying problem rather than a substantial problem unto itself.

description: Today, people rely heavily on applications that incorporate geographical and textual data. Due to the high demand, these applications must cater varieties of user needs, including trip planning. However current technology disregards factors that may affect a trip, such as the topology of roads. This thesis develops techniques to find the best path for efficient trip planning while taking into consideration possible factors that may affect trips through user textual input. Users can input words which will then be filtered by the system into positive and negative conditions, indicating places to visit or avoid respectively.

Subjects: subject: 80106 Image Processing
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This thesis presents novel algorithms for image segmentation and data clustering. A segmentation algorithm partitions an image into non-overlapping blocks and a clustering algorithm finds the natural grouping in a dataset. The proposed algorithms are hierarchical and require very few if any parameters. As hierarchical algorithms, these methods provide multiple solutions to segmentation or clustering and an appropriate solution can be chosen depending on the application requirements. Our algorithms are memory and time efficient and outperform majority of the existing methods. This thesis also demonstrates an application of our segmentation algorithm to detect noise in images.

A Safety Analysis of Roundabouts in the Las Vegas Valley Clark County, Nevada
Creators: name: Janssen, Michael J.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: This professional paper reviews current research on the safety of modern roundabouts and studies the recent, widespread use of them in the Las Vegas valley of Southern Nevada. A roundabout is a form of intersection control (as opposed to a traffic signal or stop sign) that is common in Europe and Australia. Only recently have they been used significantly in the United States. A safety analysis of roundabouts in the Las Vegas Valley was conducted. The study reviewed accident data and hard copy accident reports, obtained average daily traffic counts, and compared these operational aspects of the roundabouts with intersections serving similar traffic volumes controlled by the more traditional traffic signal or stop sign. It is the goal of this paper to fill a void that exists within the available research that has been done on roundabouts throughout the world. Specifically, the roundabouts studied in this paper are all roundabouts that were built during initial construction of new roadways whereas prior research has focused on roundabouts that have replaced other forms of intersection control at existing intersections. In addition, this paper adds to the limited research that has been done on roundabouts operating in the United States.
title: Torturing terrorists for national security imperatives: Mediated violence on "24"
Creators: name: Sears, Michael D.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: This study analyzed mediated violent content as seen on the FOX television program 24. The study covered a seven year period, or six seasons, of 24 , with a sample set of 43 episodes and 445 individual acts ofviolence. Three research questions guided this study. The first research question sought to determine if a relation exists between heroic characters inflicting torturous violence and justifying the act with a national security imperative. The second research question examined the prevailing mode of violence and the use of nonlethal and lethal weapons. The third research question examined the portrayed efficiency of violence on24. Findings suggest that while torture is rarely the intent and rarely justified with a national security imperative, 24 is nonetheless very violent, generally portraying violence as physical, involving the use of lethal weapons, intentionally gratuitous, and most often efficient.
Corrupt Bargains and Slick Alliances: Assessing the Impact of Natural Resources on Rebel Group Strategies in Colombia and Nigeria
Creators: name: Leavell, Theodore
Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: Socially Endowed Rebel Groups
subject: Natural Resources
subject: ELN
subject: Biafra

description: How do natural resources affect tactics and strategies of socially endowed rebel groups? How can rebel groups that formed in response to a social or ethnic grievance turn to natural resource extraction, and what does that extraction lead to? Conventional literatures on rebel group participation and recruitment focus on specific rebel groups, either resource endowed or socially endowed groups, but none looks at how socially endowed groups change their strategies and tactics once they acquire natural resources. Most of the literature considers rebel groups to fit in one of these two neat boxes, and while those are useful for classification, they do not consider the ramifications of starting with one endowment, and then shifting to accommodate a different endowment, or some hybrid of the two.

COMMENT: Includes Monodia; formerly included Gerbillurus and Microdillus; see Petter, 1975, Part 6.3:11, 12, Davis, 1975, Part 6.4:5, Schlitter, 1976, Unpubl. Ph.D. Dissertation Univ. Maryland, 558 pp., and Schlitter, 1976, Diss. Abstr. Int., 37(6). Schlitter, in both 1976 treatments, included Dipodillus as a subgenus of Gerbillus. Petter, 1959, Mammalia, 23:308, Petter, 1975, Part 6.3:2, and Cockrum et al., 1976, Mammalia, 40:313-326, considered Dipodillus a distinct genus. Wassif, 1956, Ain Shams Sci. Bull., No. 1:173 -194 and Osborn and Helmy, 1980, Fieldiana Zool., n.s., 5: 1-579, regarded Dipodillus as a distinct genus, but in a different sense from Petter, 1959, and Cockrum et al., 1976, who are followed here; revision and clear definition of Hendecapleura, Gerbillus, and Dipodillus (sensu Osborn and Helmy, 1980) is needed; see also Ellerman, 1941:500-504. If Dipodillus is considered a distinct genus then the other naked-footed forms of Gerbillus should also be considered a distinct genus; the name Hendecapleura is available (ELC). This genus and related forms are in need of revision. Subfamily Gerbillinae; see comment under Cricetidae. ISIS NUMBER: 5301410008091000000.

subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: Map making has been an important part of human history for communicating useful information to describes an environment. It is not difficult to envision that the process of constructing accurate maps is time consuming when done manually. Consequently, mobile robots have recently gained attention because of their ability to be automated through GPS, thereby giving their operator access to large and distant environments. However, GPS may not be available in all situations such as a forest. Therefore, this PhD research aims to create a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles capable of mapping an outdoor environment without the need for GPS.

Charitable gambling in Nevada
Creators: name: Rainwater, J. Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2005

description: This is an exploratory study about charitable gambling in Nevada. In the 1990 General Election, the voters of Nevada passed Question 2, which amended the Nevada State Constitution to allow lotteries to be operated by charitable organizations for fundraising purposes.1 Up to this point in time, lotteries of all kinds were banned by the Nevada Constitution since its passage in 1864, during Nevada's first legislative session. Following the 1990 General Election, the Nevada Legislature approved Assembly Bill (A.B.) 449 in 1991 which enacted by statute the parameters for operating a charitable lottery. The primary forms of charitable gambling in Nevada are lotteries, bingo, and the occasional "Las Vegas Nights" where table games like twenty-one and poker are used to raise money. However, this last one is not used very often and is only mentioned briefly in this study. The primary focus of this study deals with charitable lotteries and charitable bingo.
Time Series Classification at Scale

description: This thesis develops scalable algorithms and techniques to classify large amount of time series data. Nowadays, many real-world applications are generating huge amount of time series data. This wealth of data is required to create finer and more accurate classification models that allow us to learn from the data. Unfortunately, the state-of-the-art classification algorithms are impractical for large amount of time series data. Models that are accurate but slow are not good. Therefore, the ability to classify large amount of data quickly and accurately allows the state of the art to be more practical in many applications.
