Shock and Vibration Isolation System for Ambulatory and Litter Patients in Ground and Air Medical Transport
Creators: name: Hachem, Mohamad R.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: This project explored the effectiveness of seat and litter air bladder technologies in reducing patient exposure to whole body shock and vibration during ground borne and airborne medical transport. Several seat and litter air bladder configurations were examined during field tests in a U.S. Army RG-33 MRAP ambulance and a U.S. Army HH-60M Black Hawk helicopter. The MRAP field tests were conducted at Ft. Detrick, Maryland. The Black Hawk field tests were conducted at Ft. Rucker, Alabama.
During the field tests, tri-axial vibration signals were recorded on a 16-channel CoCo90 Data Logger/Frequency Analyzer and then post processed in the laboratory to obtain three-axis 1/3 octave vibration spectra and vibration transmissibility values and low-pass, band-pass and ISO overall vibration values. Vibration reductions through the seat air bladder of up to 47 percent in the vertical direction were achieved. The vibration reducing characteristics of the litter air bladder were significantly affected by the flexibility of the litter webbing and were more difficult to evaluate. More testing is necessary on the litter air bladder to more accurately determine its effectiveness in reducing patient exposure to shock and vibration during medical transport.

Blurring Boundaries: Mexican-American Border Patrol Agents Performing Border Guard Roles and Experiencing Emotional Labor
Creators: name: Hockman, Aaron
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: As of 2008 the Border Patrol (BP) consisted of an unprecedented Hispanic majority due to heavy recruiting efforts among bilingual Mexican-American populations. Within the Mexico-U.S. border region where opportunities are otherwise limited a career with the BP provides the prospect of upward class mobility. This thesis explores the subjective experiences of seven Mexican-American BP agents from the El Paso Sector, ethnographically examining how they manage emotions to perform border guard roles. I argue that participants' subjective experiences offer insight into the larger structural forces that constrain role performance, the meaning of American identity, and the boundaries that prejudice division over affinity. As border guards these individuals are charged with enforcing immigration laws that maintain boundaries of social and economic inequality between American citizens and the migrant "other". Study participants are from deeply transnational communities and their responsibilities can elicit conflicting feelings between empathy for migrants and duty. As a result they must often manage emotions to suppress feelings not in-line with the unaffected masculine ideals of the BP. Experiencing and suppressing feeling for personal gain can exact an emotional toll, yet pride in their country and a sense of duty allow them to persevere.

description: Motivated by the recent experiments indicating a spin-unpolarized ν=0 quantum Hall state in graphene, we theoretically investigate the ground state based on the many-body problem projected onto the n=0 Landau level. For an effective model with the on-site Coulomb repulsion and antiferromagnetic exchange couplings, we show that the ground state is a doubly-degenerate spin-resolved chiral condensate in which all the zero-energy states with up spin are condensed into one chirality, while those with down spin to the other. This can be exactly shown for an Ising-type exchange interaction. The charge gap due to the on-site repulsion in the ground state is shown to grow linearly with the magnetic field, in qualitative agreement with the experiments.

description: Yannakakis' Clique versus Independent Set problem (CL-IS) in communication complexity asks for the minimum number of cuts separating cliques from stable sets in a graph, called CS-separator. Yannakakis provides a quasi-polynomial CS-separator, i.e. of size $O(n^{\log n})$, and addresses the problem of finding a polynomial CS-separator. This question is still open even for perfect graphs. We show that a polynomial CS-separator almost surely exists for random graphs. Besides, if H is a split graph (i.e. has a vertex-partition into a clique and a stable set) then there exists a constant $c_H$ for which we find a $O(n^{c_H})$ CS-separator on the class of H-free graphs. This generalizes a result of Yannakakis on comparability graphs. We also provide a $O(n^{c_k})$ CS-separator on the class of graphs without induced path of length k and its complement. Observe that on one side, $c_H$ is of order $O(|H| \log |H|)$ resulting from Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, and on the other side, $c_k$ is exponential. One of the main reason why Yannakakis' CL-IS problem is fascinating is that it admits equivalent formulations. Our main result in this respect is to show that a polynomial CS-separator is equivalent to the polynomial Alon-Saks-Seymour Conjecture, asserting that if a graph has an edge-partition into k complete bipartite graphs, then its chromatic number is polynomially bounded in terms of k. We also show that the classical approach to the stubborn problem (arising in CSP) which consists in covering the set of all solutions by $O(n^{\log n})$ instances of 2-SAT is again equivalent to the existence of a polynomial CS-separator.

We adopt the integrated perturbation theory which was constructed in Matsubara (2011). We discuss an inequality between fNL and tauNL in the context of the scale-dependent bias, by introducing a stochasticity parameter. We also mention higher order loop corrections into the scale-dependency of the bias parameter.

description: K-means is undoubtedly the most widely used partitional clustering algorithm. Unfortunately, due to its gradient descent nature, this algorithm is highly sensitive to the initial placement of the cluster centers. Numerous initialization methods have been proposed to address this problem. In this paper, we first present an overview of these methods with an emphasis on their computational efficiency. We then compare eight commonly used linear time complexity initialization methods on a large and diverse collection of data sets using various performance criteria. Finally, we analyze the experimental results using non-parametric statistical tests and provide recommendations for practitioners. We demonstrate that popular initialization methods often perform poorly and that there are in fact strong alternatives to these methods.

description: Chagas disease is a parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, whose motility is not only important for localization, but also for cellular binding and invasion. Current animal models for the study of T. cruzi allow limited observation of parasites in vivo, representing a challenge for understanding parasite behavior during the initial stages of infection in humans. This protozoan has a flagellar stage in both vector and mammalian hosts, but there are no studies describing its motility in vivo.The objective of this project was to establish a live vertebrate zebrafish model to evaluate T. cruzi motility in the vascular system. Transparent zebrafish larvae were injected with fluorescently labeled trypomastigotes and observed using light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM), a noninvasive method to visualize live organisms with high optical resolution. The parasites could be visualized for extended periods of time due to this technique's relatively low risk of photodamage compared to confocal or epifluorescence microscopy. T. cruzi parasites were observed traveling in the circulatory system of live zebrafish in different-sized blood vessels and the yolk. They could also be seen attached to the yolk sac wall and to the atrioventricular valve despite the strong forces associated with heart contractions. LSFM of T. cruzi-inoculated zebrafish larvae is a valuable method that can be used to visualize circulating parasites and evaluate their tropism, migration patterns, and motility in the dynamic environment of the cardiovascular system of a live animal.

description: We extend to compact Kähler manifolds some classical results on linear representation of fundamental groups of complex projective manifolds. Our approach based on an interversion lemma for fibrations with tori versus general type manifolds as fibers gives a refinement of the classical work of Zuo. We extend to the kahler case some general results on holomorphic convexity of coverings such as the linear shafarevich conjecture. In the first version, the proof of the statement that a linear Kahler group is virtually complex-projective was wrong. We removed it from this new version. The proof will be given in a forthcoming work.

description: We develop techniques for determining the exact asymptotic speed of convergence in the multidimensional normal approximation of smooth functions of Gaussian fields. As a by-product, our findings yield exact limits and often give rise to one-term generalized Edgeworth expansions increasing the speed of convergence. Our main mathematical tools are Malliavin calculus, Stein's method and the Fourth Moment Theorem. This work can be seen as an extension of the results of arXiv:0803.0458 to the multi-dimensional case, with the notable difference that in our framework covariances are allowed to fluctuate. We apply our findings to exploding functionals of Brownian sheets, vectors of Toeplitz quadratic functionals and the Breuer-Major Theorem.

title: Automated procedures for quantification of rhizosphere physical properties in micro CT images
Creators: name: Pillai, Natarajan S.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The rhizosphere, i.e. the zone of soil immediately surrounding plant roots plays a prominent role in supplying plants with water and nutrients. However, surprisingly little is known about rhizosphere physical properties and how they affect root growth, water and nutrient uptake. The lack of non-invasive and non-destructive imaging techniques necessary to observe living roots growing in undisturbed soil have been a main reason for this shortcoming. Recent advances in synchrotron X-ray micro tomography (CMT) provide the potential to directly observe soil physical properties around living roots in-situ.In this work we develop procedures for assisting scientist to study the soil properties by visualizing and automatically processing micro CT images. Specifically image de-noising in the wavelet domain is performed for convenient profiling and segmentation is applied for automated calculation of soil properties. As new measures we proposed the normalized radial and circular aggregation and water transportability and also have shown ways of generalizing the studies for 3D.
Coronal ejection and heating in variable-luminosity X-ray sources

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: A sudden increase in stellar luminosity may lead to the ejection of a large part of any optically thin gas orbiting the star. Test particles in circular orbits will become unbound, and will escape to infinity (if radiation drag is neglected), when the luminosity changes from zero to at least one half the Eddington value, or more generally, from L to (L_Edd+L)/2 or more. Conversely, a decrease in luminosity will lead to the tightening of orbits of optically thin fluid. Even a modest fluctuation of luminosity of accreting neutron stars or black holes is expected to lead to substantial coronal heating. Luminosity fluctuations may thus account for the high temperatures of the X-ray corona in accreting black hole and neutron star systems.

description: We consider ferromagnetic instabilities of two-dimensional helical Dirac fermions hosted on the surface of three-dimensional topological insulators. We investigate ways to increase the role of interactions by means of modifying the bulk properties which in turn changes both the surface Dirac theory and the screening of interactions. We discuss both the long-ranged part of the Coulomb interactions controlled by the dimensionless coupling constant $α= e^{2}/(\hbar εv_{F}^{\mathrm{surf}})$ as well as the effects of local interactions parametrized by the ratio $U_{\mathrm{surf}}/D_{\mathrm{surf}}$ of a local interaction on the surface, $U_{\mathrm{surf}}$, and the surface bandwidth, $D_{\mathrm{surf}}$. If large compared to 1, both mechanisms can induce spontaneously surface ferromagnetism, thereby gapping the surface Dirac metal and inducing an anomalous quantum Hall effect. We investigate two mechanisms which can naturally lead to small Fermi velocities $v_{F}^{\mathrm{surf}}$ and a corresponding small bandwidth $D_{\mathrm{surf}}$ at the surface when the bulk band gap is reduced. The same mechanisms can, however, also lead to an enhanced screening of surface interactions. While in all considered cases the long-ranged part of the Coulomb interaction is screened efficiently, $α\lesssim 1$, we discuss situations, where $U_{\mathrm{surf}}/D_{\mathrm{surf}}$ becomes \emph{parametrically}\ large compared to 1, thus inducing surface magnetism.

Evaluating actinide sorption to graphite with regards to TRISO repository performance
Creators: name: Keith, Corey Christopher
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: Graphite has the potential for inclusion in nuclear waste for disposal in waste repository settings. Implementation of High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors contributes to this potential through use of TRISO fuel, if direct disposal of the graphite matrix surrounding the fuel is employed. The inclusion of the large mass and volume in the TRISO fuel waste form differs significantly from used light water reactor fuel waste forms, requiring new performance models to describe the behavior in a repository setting. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for the graphite to improve actinide, specifically uranium and neptunium, retardation from the waste form.
A review of the literature exposed no specific data on neptunium interactions with graphite, so experimental study was employed. Uranium and neptunium sorption behavior was evaluated across a range of conditions through batch experiments. Solid/liquid ratios and temperature experiments were performed to evaluate possible effects on uranium sorption. Temperature was found to have a significant impact on measured sorption. Neptunium metal concentrations, pH range, counterion concentration experiments were performed for neptunium. Neptunium sorption appears to follow a linear isotherm, at the concentration range used. The partitioning to graphite was weakly influenced by pH, with a maximum Kd of 4.6 (ml/g). The ionic behavior showed that both the specific counterion, when switched from Cl- to ClO4-, and concentration inhibits sorption,
The desorption kinetics were evaluated for neptunium using batch experiments, revealing close to negligible desorption once sorbed. Based on the results, even though low sorption occurs for neptunium, the negligible desorption allows graphite to significantly impact neptunium transport with respect to graphite mass. Surface complexation models were evaluated. Although a Triple Layer (TL) model was suggested for use, more data is needed (counterion influence) before implementation can be accomplished.

description: We consider two-loop two-, three-, and four-point diagrams with elliptic subgraphs involving two different masses, m and M. Such diagrams generally arise in matching procedures within nonrelativistic QCD and QED and are relevant, e.g., for top-quark pair production at threshold and parapositronium decay. We present the obtained results in several different representations: series solution with binomial coefficients, integral representation, and representation in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. The results are valid up to terms of in space-time dimensions. In the limit of equal masses, , the obtained results are written in terms of elliptic constants with explicit series representations.

The GENJI programme aims a dense monitoring at 22 GHz towards the $γ$-ray emitting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to investigate the radio time variation of the core and possible ejection of new radio component, motion of jets, and their relation with the emission at other wavelengths especially in $γ$-rays. Currently we are monitoring 8 $γ$-ray-emitting notable AGNs (DA 55, 3C 84, M 87, PKS 1510-089, DA 406, NRAO 530, BL Lac, 3C 454.3) about once every two weeks. This programme is promising to trace the trend of radio time variation on shorter timescale than conventional VLBI monitoring programme and to provide complimentary data with them (e.g., MOJAVE, Boston University Blazar Project). In particular, we successfully coordinated quick follow-up observations after the GeV $γ$-ray flare in NRAO 530 and 3C 454.3 reported by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Here we present the initial results of morphology and light curves for the first 7-month operation.

Label Use and Mixed Race Asian Americans: Discourses, Performances, and Boundaries
Creators: name: Macdonald, Ellen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: A person's identity is not fixed or stable, rather it changes over time and even from moment to moment (Nagel 1994). Throughout an individual's life he or she constantly cites discourses that relate specific appearances, actions, and behaviors to certain labeled social categories and those discourses make an individual intelligible as an acknowledged type of person (Butler 1990). The self, or identity, that someone presents at any point in time is comprised of the different types of information, both verbal and nonverbal, that the person provides to his audience (Goffman 1959). Labels are one verbal source of information that can both reinforce and subvert the discourses associated with them. Mixed race Asian Americans have a variety of labels to choose from when asserting a racial, ethnic, or national identity to an audience. Through interviews with 21 mixed race Asian Americans (Asian-white, Asian-black, Asian-Hispanic, and Asian-multiple other races), my research examines what factors influence mixed race Asian Americans to choose to assert a particular label at any given moment in time. Since ethnic identity is a result of the interaction of both internal and external opinions (Nagel 1994), my research also investigates how other people select labels to assign to mixed race Asian Americans.

description: Deposition of clean and defect-free atomically thin two-dimensional crystalline flakes on surfaces by mechanical exfoliation of layered bulk materials has proven to be a powerful technique, but it requires a fast, reliable and non-destructive way to identify the atomically thin flakes among a crowd of thick flakes. In this work, we provide general guidelines to identify ultrathin flakes of TaSe2 by means of optical microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Additionally, we determine the optimal substrates to facilitate the optical identification of atomically thin TaSe2 crystals. Experimental realization and isolation of ultrathin layers of TaSe2 enables future studies on the role of the dimensionality in interesting phenomena such as superconductivity and charge density waves.

Impact of Secondary Treatment Types and Sludge Handling Processes on Estrogen Concentration in Wastewater Sludge
Creators: name: Marti, Erica J.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), such as estrogen, are known to be present in the aquatic environment at concentrations that negatively affect fish and other wildlife. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are major contributors of EDCs into the environment. EDCs are released via effluent discharge and land application of biosolids. Estrogen removal in WWTPs has been studied in the aqueous phase; however, few researchers have determined estrogen concentration in sludge. This study focuses on estrogen concentration in wastewater sludge as a result of secondary treatment types and sludge handling processes. Grab samples were collected before and after multiple treatment steps at two WWTPs receiving wastewater from the same city. The samples were centrifuged into aqueous and solid phases and then processed using solid phase extraction. Combined natural estrogens (estrone, estradiol and estriol) were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) purchased from a manufacturer. Results confirmed that activated sludge treatments demonstrate greater estrogen removal compared to trickling filters and estrogen load (mass estrogen per mass solid) was measured for the first time on trickling filter solids. Physical and mechanical sludge treatment processes, such as gravity thickeners and centrifuges, did not significantly affect estrogen removal based on mass balance calculations. Dissolved air flotation demonstrated a slight decrease in estrogen concentration, while anaerobic digestion resulted in increased estrogen load on the sludge and a high estrogen concentration in the supernatant. Although there are no state or federally mandated discharge effluent standards or sludge application standards for estrogen, implications from this study are that trickling filters would need to be exchanged for activated sludge treatment or followed by an aeration basin in order to improve estrogen removal. Also, anaerobic digestion may need to be replaced with aerobic digestion for sludge that is intended for land application.

description: Undernutrition, resulting in restricted growth, and quantified here using height-for-age z-scores, is an important contributor to childhood morbidity and mortality. Since all levels of mild, moderate and severe undernutrition are of clinical and public health importance, it is of interest to estimate the shape of the z-scores' distributions. We present a finite normal mixture model that uses data on 4.3 million children to make annual country-specific estimates of these distributions for under-5-year-old children in the world's 141 low- and middle-income countries between 1985 and 2011. We incorporate both individual-level data when available, as well as aggregated summary statistics from studies whose individual-level data could not be obtained. We place a hierarchical Bayesian probit stick-breaking model on the mixture weights. The model allows for nonlinear changes in time, and it borrows strength in time, in covariates, and within and across regional country clusters to make estimates where data are uncertain, sparse, or missing. This work addresses three important problems that often arise in the fields of public health surveillance and global health monitoring. First, data are always incomplete. Second, different data sources commonly use different reporting metrics. Last, distributions, and especially their tails, are often of substantive interest.

description: Literacy is an essential skill necessary for students to graduate high school. Not all students have the reading proficiency required to graduate. Secondary students with elementary-level reading ability are challenged to complete grade-level coursework. Unfortunately, students continue to enter high school with below-grade-level skills. Many factors contribute to some students’ inability to access grade-level content. A lack of resources and the absence of early intervention are a few things impeding student progress. Disengagement and frustration with their inability also prohibit some students from re-engaging in the learning process and moving beyond decoding text to understanding it. Also, secondary teachers need unique instructional methods to support students in developing their comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary skills. Professional knowledge is essential for teachers to develop the skill set necessary to improve academic outcomes for students. Consistent explicit instruction utilizing research-based practices is vital for changing high school students’ reading proficiency levels.

description: The interplay between interactions and disorder in closed quantum many-body systems is relevant for thermalization phenomenon. In this article, we address this competition in an infinite temperature spin system, by means of the Loschmidt echo (LE), which is based on a time reversal procedure. This quantity has been formerly employed to connect quantum and classical chaos, and in the present many-body scenario we use it as a dynamical witness. We assess the LE time scales as a function of disorder and interaction strengths. The strategy enables a qualitative phase diagram that shows the regions of ergodic and nonergodic behavior of the polarization under the echo dynamics.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: South Africa’s educational system is currently facing certain challenges that prevent learners from fully engaging in classes, which is particularly evident within rural areas. In order to counter the low levels of engagement, Teacher Professional Development Programmes have been introduced, where facilitators train teachers to use specific teaching strategies and introduce them to using ICT in classrooms. A badge system was used in this research as incentive to encourage participation.

 Current digital badging systems require that both the learners receiving the badges and the facilitators issuing them to be online, which poses a challenge within resource constrained environments due to the lack of connectivity. The focus of this thesis is on the design and development of an artefact in the form of a mobile application to support in-service Teacher Professional Development in Cofimvaba.

 This research project carried out a rigorous literature review study and also engaged three project expert interviews, in order to provide an understanding of the requirements for the development of the badge issuing and receiving applications. The applications were designed and developed using design science principles. Applications were then tested by low English literate, non-ICT confident users in the resource constrained environment of Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape. The interpretive research method was used to ascertain the requirements of building the mobile badge applications within resource constrained environments through a qualitative methodology. An inductive approach was used to analyse the data that was collected. The requirements needed to develop the mobile badge system within a resource constrained environment are presented at the end of Chapter 7. Prototypes of the applications of the badge system that were developed are presented in Chapters 4, and 6 of the study, while Chapter 5 discuss the results of the usability tests and measured a number of performance and self-reported metrics regarding the offline badge ecosystem.

The geochronology and geochemistry of the Bearhead Rhyolite, Jemez volcanic field, New Mexico
Creators: name: Justet, Leigh
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1999

description: Around 82% of mapped Bearhead Rhyolite (Main Cluster) and Peralta Tuff appears to have been derived from a relatively long-lived (~680 ka), large, shallow (Earth 's surface) magma chamber that did not produce a caldera-forming eruption. Although volatile contents were great enough (~ wt.% H2O), no large-scale explosive eruptions occurred because magma may have been tectonically vented. The lack of systematic chemical variation within the Main Cluster with time during this ~680 ka interval may imply that erupted magmas were physically separated from each other by fault-formed cupolas in the roof of the magma chamber. These results are significant because Bearhead Rhyolite may represent a poorly documented style of silicic volcanism that may be more common than realized.
The remaining ~18% of mapped Bearhead Rhyolite is chemically and/or temporally distinct from the majority of Bearhead Rhyolite and is located in the southwest periphery of the field area.
