description: We present the ProCS method for the rapid and accurate prediction of protein backbone amide proton chemical shifts - sensitive probes of the geometry of key hydrogen bonds that determine protein structure. ProCS is parameterized against quantum mechanical (QM) calculations and reproduces high level QM results obtained for a small protein with an RMSD of 0.25 ppm (r = 0.94). ProCS is interfaced with the PHAISTOS protein simulation program and is used to infer statistical protein ensembles that reflect experimentally measured amide proton chemical shift values. Such chemical shift-based structural refinements, starting from high-resolution X-ray structures of Protein G, ubiquitin, and SMN Tudor Domain, result in average chemical shifts, hydrogen bond geometries, and trans-hydrogen bond (h3JNC') spin-spin coupling constants that are in excellent agreement with experiment. We show that the structural sensitivity of the QM-based amide proton chemical shift predictions is needed to refine protein structures to this agreement. The ProCS method thus offers a powerful new tool for refining the structures of hydrogen bonding networks to high accuracy with many potential applications such as protein flexibility in ligand binding.

title: Effects of ocean acidification on dispersal behavior in the larval stage of the Dungeness crab and the Pacific Green Shore crab
Creators: name: Christmas, Anna-Mai Florentine
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
The influence of acidification of the world's oceans on marine populations and communities is a subject of growing concern. In the case of crustaceans, issues such as calcium dynamics of the molting process and direct effects on survival and development rates of larvae have received, at most, limited attention. My thesis research looked at phenomena that are important in the success of larval crustacean stages, but have received no attention; namely, the effects of ocean acidification on the swimming speeds, feeding rate, and gross growth efficiency of stage one larvae of the Dungeness crab, Metacarcinus (Cancer) magister, and the Pacific Green Shore crab, Hemigrapsus oregonensis. For five days, the larvae of these crab species were held in carbon dioxide enriched seawater at the current atmospheric value for the control treatment (400 ppmv) and the projected level for the year 2100 (IPCC) for the high treatment (1000 ppmv). After Day 1 and Day 5, swimming behavior of the larvae was tested by looking at their distance travelled over time (orthokinesis) and the number of turns taken over time (klinokinesis). Their feeding rates were also compared by measuring the number of Artemia sp. nauplii consumed and gross growth efficiency was tested by measuring larval growth in calories divided by the total number of calories consumed. There was no significant difference found in swimming behavior, feeding rates or gross growth efficiency of either M. magister or H. oregonensis larvae between the CO2 treatments on each day. In both species, the swimming behavior and number of turns were higher on Day 1 when compared to Day 5. Results for the feeding rate showed an increase after five days for both species. However, after five days of exposure to acidified seawater, M. magister larvae had a significantly higher rate of turning than did those placed in the control CO2 conditions. This shows that high levels of ocean acidification may not directly affect feeding rates, the efficiency with which larval M. magister and H. oregonensis transform energy consumed into growth or the total distances travelled per unit time,. But, it may have an effect on larval movement patterns which may in turn affect larval vertical distribution and dispersal.

description: Motor actuated 2D laser scanners are key sensors for many robotics applications that need wide ranging but low cost 3D data. There exist many approaches on how to build a 3D laser scanner using this technique, but they often lack proper synchronization for the timestamps of the actuator and the laser scanner. However, to transform the measurement points into three-dimensional space an appropriate synchronization is mandatory. Thus, we propose two different approaches to accomplish the goal of calculating timestamp offsets between laser scanner and motor prior to and after data acquisition. Both approaches use parts of a SLAM algorithm but apply different criteria to find an appropriate solution. While the approach for offset calculation prior to data acquisition exploits the fact that the SLAM algorithm should not register motion for a stationary system, the approach for offset calculation after data acquisition evaluates the perceived clarity of a point cloud created by the SLAM algorithm. Our experiments show that both approaches yield the same results although operating independently on different data, which demonstrates that the results reflect reality with a high probability. Furthermore, our experiments exhibit the significance of a proper synchronization between laser scanner and actuator.

Weighted $\ell_1$-minimization for generalized non-uniform sparse model

description: Model-based compressed sensing refers to compressed sensing with extra structure about the underlying sparse signal known a priori. Recent work has demonstrated that both for deterministic and probabilistic models imposed on the signal, this extra information can be successfully exploited to enhance recovery performance. In particular, weighted $\ell_1$-minimization with suitable choice of weights has been shown to improve performance in the so called non-uniform sparse model of signals. In this paper, we consider a full generalization of the non-uniform sparse model with very mild assumptions. We prove that when the measurements are obtained using a matrix with i.i.d Gaussian entries, weighted $\ell_1$-minimization successfully recovers the sparse signal from its measurements with overwhelming probability. We also provide a method to choose these weights for any general signal model from the non-uniform sparse class of signal models.

ALMA Submillimeter Continuum Imaging of the Host Galaxies of GRB021004 and GRB080607

description: We report 345 GHz continuum observations of the host galaxies of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) 021004 and 080607 at z>2 using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Cycle 0. Of the two bursts, GRB021004 is one of the few GRBs that originates in a Lyman limit host, while GRB080607 is classified as a "dark burst" and its host galaxy is a candidate of dusty star forming galaxy at z~3. With an order of magnitude improvement in the sensitivities of the new imaging searches, we detect the host galaxy of GRB080607 with a flux of S_{345} = 0.31+/-0.09 mJy and a corresponding infrared luminosity of L_{IR}=(2.4-4.5)x10^{11} L_sun. However, the host galaxy of GRB021004 remains undetected and the ALMA observations allow us to place a 3-sigma upper limit of L_{IR}<3.1x10^{11} L_sun for the host galaxy. The continuum imaging observations show that the two galaxies are not ultraluminous infrared galaxies but are at the faintest end of the dusty galaxy population that gives rise to the submillimeter extragalactic background light. The derived star formation rates of the two GRB host galaxies are less than 100 M_sun yr^{-1}, which are broadly consistent with optical measurements. The result suggests that the large extinction (A_V~3) in the afterglow of GRB080607 is confined along its particularly dusty sightline, and not representative of the global properties of the host galaxy.

description: We probe the 3d-3d correspondence for mapping cylinder/torus using the superconformal index. We focus on the case when the fiber is a once-punctured torus (Σ_{1,1}). The corresponding 3d field theories can be realized using duality domain wall theories in 4d N=2* theory. We show that the superconformal indices of the 3d theories are the SL(2,C) Chern-Simons partition function on the mapping cylinder/torus. For the mapping torus, we also consider another realization of the corresponding 3d theory associated with ideal triangulation. The equality between the indices from the two descriptions for the mapping torus theory is reduced to a basis change of the Hilbert space for the SL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory on RxΣ_{1,1}.

Synthetic Paths to the Heaviest Elements

description: The cross section for producing a heavy reaction product, $σ$$_{EVR}$, can be represented by the equation σ_{EVR} = \sum_{J=0}^{J_\max} σ_{capture} (E_{c.m.},J) P_{CN} (E^*,J) W_{sur}(E^*,J), where $σ_{capture}(E_{c.m.},J)$ is the capture cross section at center of mass energy E$_{c.m.}$ and spin J. P$_{CN}$ is the probability that the projectile-target system will evolve from the contact configuration inside the fission saddle point to form a completely fused system rather than re-separating (quasifission, fast fission). W$_{sur}$ is the probability that the completely fused system will de-excite by neutron emission rather than fission. I discuss results of experiments that characterize these quantities in heavy element synthesis reactions. I also discuss the possibilities of synthesizing heavy nuclei using damped collisions and reactions using radioactive beams.

Mini-Oort clouds: Compact isotropic planetesimal clouds from planet-planet scattering

description: Starting from planetary systems with three giant planets and an outer disk of planetesimals, we use dynamical simulations to show how dynamical instabilities can transform planetesimal disks into 100-1000 AU-scale isotropic clouds. The instabilities involve a phase of planet-planet scattering that concludes with the ejection of one or more planets and the inward-scattering of the surviving gas giant(s) to remove them from direct dynamical contact with the planetesimals. "Mini-Oort clouds" are thus formed from scattered planetesimals whose orbits are frozen by the abrupt disappearance of the perturbing giant planet. Although the planetesimal orbits are virtually isotropic, the surviving giant planets tend to have modest inclinations (typically ~10 degrees) with respect to the initial orbital plane. The collisional lifetimes of mini-Oort clouds are long (10 Myr to >10 Gyr) and there is a window of ~100 Myr or longer during which they produce spherical clouds of potentially observable dust at 70 microns. If the formation channel for hot Jupiters commonly involves planetary close encounters, we predict a correlation between this subset of extrasolar planetary systems and mini-Oort clouds.

description: Classical and semiclassical schemes are presented that are timeless at the primary level and recover time from Mach's `time is to be abstracted from change' principle at the emergent secondary level. The semiclassical scheme is a Machian variant of the Semiclassical Approach to the Problem of Time in Quantum Gravity. The classical scheme is Barbour's, cast here explicitly as the classical precursor of the Semiclassical Approach. Thus the two schemes have been married up, as equally-Machian and necessarily distinct, since quantum change is part of whence the latter's timestandard is abstracted.

Possible pairing symmetries in SrPtAs with a local lack of inversion center

description: We discuss possible pairing symmetries in the hexagonal pnictide superconductor SrPtAs. The local lack of inversion symmetry of the two distinct conducting layers in the unit cell results in a special spin-orbit coupling with a staggered structure. We classify the pairing symmetry by the global crystal point group D_3d, and suggest some candidates for the stable state using a tight-binding model with an in-plane, density-density type pairing interaction. We may have some unconventional states like s+f-wave and a mixture of chiral d-wave and chiral p-wave. The spin orbit coupling is larger than the interlayer hopping, and the mixing between spin-singlet and triplet states can be seen in spite of the fact that the system has a global inversion center.

description: Over the past 20 years, a great deal of work has been done on the moduli spaces of coherent systems on algebraic curves. Until recently, however, there has been very little work on the fixed determinant case, except for the special case of rank 2 and canonical determinant. This situation has changed due to two papers of B. Osserman, who has obtained lower bounds for the dimensions of the fixed determinant moduli spaces in some cases. Our object in this paper is to show that some of Osserman's bounds are sharp.

Comparison and Simulation of Salt-Ceramic Composites for Use in High Temperature Concentrated Solar Power
Creators: name: Fossile, Lauren Michelle
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: Due to the inherently intermittent nature of solar energy caused by cloud cover among other sources, thermal storage systems are needed to make solar energy more consistent. This same technology could be used to prolong the daily number of useful hours of solar energy power plants. Salt-ceramic materials are a relatively new prospect for heat storage, but have been researched mostly with magnesium oxide and several different carbonate salts. Salt ceramics are a phase change material where the salt changes phase inside the ceramic structure allowing for the system to use the sensible heat of both materials and the latent heat of the salt to store thermal energy. Capillary forces within the ceramic structure hold in the salt when the salt melts.
The focus here is on the possibility of creating a low-cost salt-ceramic storage material for high temperature solar energy applications. A theoretical analysis of the resulting materials is performed. While most of the existing salt ceramics have been made from magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide is more readily available from various companies in the area. Magnesium oxide is often considered a custom ceramic, so it is more expensive. A cost and material property comparison has been completed between these two materials to determine which is better suited for solar storage. Many of the existing salt-ceramics use carbonate salts, but nitrate salts are commonly used in graphite/salt composites. Therefore, a cost and theoretical performance comparison is between these materials also. For comparisons' sake, zirconia and graphite have also been analyzed as the filler in the composite. Each combination of salt and ceramic or graphite has been analyzed.
In order to make the use of salt-ceramics more cost-effective and available to Nevada's energy providers, research has been done into which ceramics have high availability in Nevada, low cost, and the best material properties for this application. The thermal properties and cost of these materials have been compared to the price that Nevada's energy utilities are willing to pay per unit of stored energy, which was approximated through a survey conducted by the National Science Foundation (NSF)- Experimental Project to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The surveys were completed on Nevadan energy purveyors concerning climate change attitudes, but included questions regarding the usefulness and cost of solar storage.
The cost per unit of energy has also been calculated and whether the utilities would be willing to pay for each combination will be determined using information obtained from the surveys mentioned above. This information will dictate which combination will be best for use in the state of Nevada at solar energy power plants.

description: In this letter, we provide a microscopic model for the ultrafast remagnetization of atomic moments already quenched above Stoner-Curie temperature by a strong laser fluence. Combining first principles density functional theory, atomistic spin dynamics utilizing the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and a three temperature model, we show the temporal evolution of atomic moments as well as the macroscopic magnetization of bcc Fe and hcp Co covering a broad time scale, ranging from femtoseconds to picoseconds. Our simulations show a variety of complex temporal behavior of the magnetic properties resulting from an interplay between electron, spin and lattice subsystems, which causes an intricate time evolution of the atomic moment, where longitudinal and transversal fluctuations result in a macro spin moment that evolves non-monotonically.

description: The existence of a positive linear functional acting on the space of (differences between) conformal blocks has been shown to rule out regions in the parameter space of conformal field theories (CFTs). We argue that at the boundary of the allowed region the extremal functional contains, in principle, enough information to determine the dimensions and OPE coefficients of an infinite number of operators appearing in the correlator under analysis. Based on this idea we develop the Extremal Functional Method (EFM), a numerical procedure for deriving the spectrum and OPE coefficients of CFTs lying on the boundary (of solution space). We test the EFM by using it to rederive the low lying spectrum and OPE coefficients of the 2d Ising model based solely on the dimension of a single scalar quasi-primary -- no Virasoro algebra required. Our work serves as a benchmark for applications to more interesting, less known CFTs in the near future.

This work is focused on two systems that highlight different approaches for the manipulation of electronic properties: (I) the development of electron-deficient (n-type) materials by selective lowering of ELUMO and (II) low energy gap materials by controlling both ELUMO and EHOMO
To specifically lower ELUMO, a pyrazine-acene ?-platform was extended using electron-withdrawing moieties. These include: pyridine, pyrazine, and benzothiadiazole (system I). From the base pyrazine-acene, the most significant change in ELUMO of 0.83 eV was observed with benzothiadiazole ?-extender, while pyridine and pyrazine lowered ELUMO by 0.15 eV and 0.42 eV, respectively. EHOMO was relatively unaffected by these ?-extenders.
The mechanism for ELUMO control in this system was illustrated by theoretical evaluation. We found that the LUMO orbital localized on the more electron deficient part of the pyrazine-acene including the ?-extenders, while the HOMO orbital localized on the more electron rich portion, away from the ?-extenders. This enabled us to achieve specific control of ELUMO depending on the type of ?-extenders.
To achieve low energy gap (Egap) materials, structures containing electron rich (donor) thiophene attached to an electron deficient (acceptor) pyrazine-acene ?-core were synthesized as system II. The effects of planarity, type of solubilizing side group (i.e. alkyl vs. alkoxy), and type of pyrazine-acene ?-core on Egap have been evaluated both experimentally and theoretically. Extension of the ?-core with a thiadiazole moiety further enhanced the electron deficiency of the acceptor part of the molecule resulting in a decrease of ELUMO from -3.32 eV to -3.90 eV. An impressive Egap compression of 1.21 eV was achieved with this donor-acceptor configuration, which is rare for a small molecule.
Through systematic theoretical investigation, it was found that the dihedral angle between the pyrazine-acene acceptor and the thiophene donor affects EHOMO rather than ELUMO. This was also supported experimentally with planar and nonplanar systems.
Most of the compounds of system I and II assembled into one-dimensional (1D) fibers with a width of 10 nm to 2µm via organogelation, phase-transfer assembly, or simple-drop casting. This demonstrates the utility of the presented molecular design in generating beneficial self-assemble fibers.

description: In 1967, the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice recommended team policing, which involves the decentralization of patrol officers and investigators to the same, defined geographical area, as a way to more effectively organize police officers and improve crime control. Despite initial enthusiasm from police officers and administrators, team policing quickly faded from use during the 1970s because its design was incompatible with the centralized model of policing prevalent at that time. However, the implementation of community-oriented policing, which promotes various organizational changes and the use of problem-focused strategies, has changed police departments in recent years and in many ways that complement the use of team policing, thus allowing it a better chance to succeed. In March 2012, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department implemented its own version of team policing, which incorporates community-oriented, problem-oriented, and hot spots policing strategies in an effort to reduce crime and disorder in a local neighborhood. This study evaluates the impact of team policing in that neighborhood, discusses the limitations of the research design and data, and provides suggestions for future research on team policing.

description: We extend the approach of Ref. [Yu-xi Liu, L. F. Wei, and F. Nori, Europhys. Lett. 67, 941 (2004)] for preparing superposition states of a cavity field interacting with a superconducting charge qubit. We study effects of the nonlinearity on the creation of such states. We show that the main contribution of nonlinear effects is to shorten the time necessary to build the superposition.

Simulated Annealing Approach To Flow Shop Scheduling
Creators: name: Yellanki, Sadhana
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Flow Shop Scheduling refers to the process of allotting various jobs to the machines given, such that every job starts to process on a machine n only after it has finished processing on machine n-1, with each job having n operations to be performed one per machine. To find a schedule that leads to the optimal utilization of resources, expects the schedule to finish in a minimum span of time, and also satisfy the optimality criterion set for the related scheduling problem is NP-Hard, if n > 2. In this thesis, we have developed an algorithm adopting a heuristic called Simulated Annealing, to act as a support to the Flow Shop Scheduling. This algorithm tries to deliver good/near optimal solutions to the given scheduling problem, in a reasonable time. We also carry out various tests to determine the behavior of the algorithm as well as to evaluate its effectiveness.

description: We show that graphene with Mn adatoms trapped at single vacancies feature spin-dependent Seebeck effect, thus enabling the use of this material for spin caloritronics. A gate potential can be used to tune its thermoelectric properties in a way it presents either a total spin polarized current, flowing in one given direction, or currents for both spins flowing in opposite directions without net charge transport. Moreover, we show that the thermal magnetoresistance can be tuned between $-100\%$ and $+100\%$ by varying agate potential.

title: A Novel Indoor Adaptive Thermal Comfort System to Reduce the Energy Consumption for the Residential Dwellings

description: The percentage of households in fuel poverty, who cannot afford adequate heating, has reached 25% in the United Kingdom (UK), resulting in a critical threat to life. Therefore, this issue is currently of interest to UK policymakers and stakeholders. Currently, the main areas of interest relating to thermal comfort are factors relating to indoor health, the energy crisis, and Global Climate Change. There was a gap in the acknowledgements of adaptive thermal comfort (psychological and human behaviour aspects) due to the focus on human physiology (Predicted Mean Vote - Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied/ PMV-PPD). Furthermore, existing heating control systems need to be optimized for using an electric radiant heating panel to anticipate the future focus on renewable energy sources. This work has developed a novel base system model that better reflects the user conditions for the future indoor thermal control system based on the existing ASHRAE RP-884 and Global Thermal Comfort Database II combined with new data collections and case studies. The system model has the compatibility to control the heating panels based on the network of sensors and flexible user control with a low-cost system approach to suit residential needs. The artificial intelligence (AI) model with shallow supervised learning implemented in the system can enhance the existing model to produce a 98.49% comfort zone from all ASHRAE multiple databases. In contrast, the PMV-PPD only gives 69.91% comfort, while the Givoni approach gives 89.19%. With a 6.62% wider comfort area and the assumption of direct conversion to saving, the base system model can contribute to about 783.5 thousand tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year with the 2030 emission factor. Widening the thermal comfort zone also acknowledges a particular group that needs a different set point. This work also recognized that acknowledging the human presence during the thermal comfort assessment can increase the comfort level more than 10% with the same heating arrangement. The initial model assessment was also developed using MATLAB to represent the UK’s indoor conditions for typical residential properties built prior to the 1920s and after the 2010s and highlights the suitable parameters for indoor comfort with lower energy use. The simulation results recommend lowering the thermal set point for thermal comfort. The result is based on hourly thermal data across the UK on the different housing typologies. This solution can bridge the physiology and psychology aspects and benefit the engineers and the researchers in the thermal comfort area.

description: Jet shapes have the potential to play a role in many LHC analyses, for example in quark-gluon discrimination or jet substructure analyses for hadronic decays of boosted heavy objects. Most shapes, however, are significantly affected by pileup. We introduce a general method to correct for pileup effects in shapes, which acts event-by-event and jet-by-jet, and accounts also for hadron masses. It involves a numerical determination, for each jet, of a given shape's susceptibility to pileup. Together with existing techniques for determining the level of pileup, this then enables an extrapolation to zero pileup. The method can be used for a wide range of jet shapes and we show its successful application in the context of quark/gluon discrimination and top-tagging.

description: We simulate the effects of gravitational lensing on the source count of high redshift galaxies as projected to be observed by the Hubble Frontier Fields program and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in the near future. Taking the mass density profile of the lensing object to be the singular isothermal sphere (SIS) or the Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile, we model a lens residing at a redshift of z_L = 0.5 and explore the radial dependence of the resulting magnification bias and its variability with the velocity dispersion of the lens, the photometric sensitivity of the instrument, the redshift of the background source population, and the intrinsic maximum absolute magnitude (M_{max}) of the sources. We find that gravitational lensing enhances the number of galaxies with redshifts z >= 13 detected in the angular region θ_E/2 <= θ<= 2θ_E (where θ_E is the Einstein angle) by a factor of ~ 3 and 1.5 in the HUDF (df/dν_0 ~ 9 nJy) and medium-deep JWST surveys (df/dν_0 ~ 6 nJy). Furthermore, we find that even in cases where a negative magnification bias reduces the observed number count of background sources, the lensing effect improves the sensitivity of the count to the intrinsic faint-magnitude cut-off of the Schechter luminosity function. In a field centered on a strong lensing cluster, observations of z >= 6 and z >= 13 galaxies with JWST can be used to infer this cut-off magnitude for values as faint as M_{max} ~ -14.4 and -16.1 mag (L_{min} ~ 2.5*10^{26} and 1.2*10^{27} erg s^{-1} Hz^{-1}) respectively, within the range bracketed by existing theoretical models. Gravitational lensing may therefore offer an effective way of constraining the low-luminosity cut-off of high-redshift galaxies.

Dreissena rostiformis bugensis: desiccation of adult quagga mussels found in Lake Mead as a preventive measure against overland dispersal in the western United States
Creators: name: Kappel, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: The expansion of civilization across all borders of the world has proven to affect major components of ecosystems. Since the introduction and establishment of the aquatic invasive species (AIS),Dreissena rostiformis bugensis, commonly known as the quagga mussel, into the United States there has been an extensive amount of time and money spent on controlling and preventing their expansion across the United States. The quagga mussel is of major concern because of its ability to disrupt the ecological communities in previously non-infested bodies of water, which may cause a loss in biodiversity and effect environmental health. The quagga mussel has spread rapidly from the eastern United States to the western United States since their discovery in Lake Erie in 1986. The quagga mussel was discovered in Lake Mead on January 6, 2007 at the Lake Mead Boat Harbor and Nevada has inherited the problems for which there are currently no known solutions. Lake Mead could contribute to the further spread of these dressenid species to non-infested bodies of water in the western United States, i.e. Lake Tahoe, due to overland dispersal by contaminated watercraft. Previous studies on adult quagga mussels have been conducted on mussels east of the 100thmeridian. The United States is host to multiple biomes that provide different climates for terrestrial and aquatic life to acclimate. To date there are no known studies on desiccation resistance with adult quagga mussels from the southwest region of the United States. The results of this study suggest that overland dispersal is possible depending on temperature and relative humidity. Based on this study, adult quagga mussels can survive for less than a day in hotter conditions (30°C or higher). In cooler conditions, adult quagga mussels can survive longer than five days. The data generated from this study may be helpful in preventing further establishment of the quagga mussel.
