description: In humans, blood circulating IgM+IgD+CD27+ B cells are considered analogous to those described in the marginal zone of the spleen and are involved in important immunological processes. The homing receptors they express, and the organs involved in their development (for example, intestinal organs in rabbits) are only partially known. We recently reported that this population is heterogeneous and composed of at least two subsets: one expressing high levels of IgM – IgMhi B cells – and another low levels – IgMlo B cells. To evaluate the expression of homing receptors on IgD+CD27+ IgMhi and IgMlo B cells and quantify their frequencies in blood of control and appendectomized and/or tonsillectomized volunteers. Using spectral flow cytometry, the simultaneous expression of 12 previously reported markers that differentiate IgMhi B cells and IgMlo B cells and of α4β7, CCR9, CD22 and CCR10 were evaluated in blood circulating B cells of control and appendectomized and/or tonsillectomized volunteers. The existence of phenotypically defined IgMlo and IgMhi B cell subsets was confirmed. They differentially expressed intestinal homing receptors, and the expression of α4β7 and CCR9 seems to determine new IgM subpopulations. IgMlo and IgMhi B cells were detected at lower frequencies in the appendectomized and/or tonsillectomized volunteers relative to controls. Human blood circulating IgD+CD27+ IgMlo and IgMhi B cell subsets differentially express homing receptors, and it is necessary to investigate if mucosal organs are important in their development.

description: We numerically simulate planar shock wave collisions in anti-de Sitter space as a model for heavy ion collisions of large nuclei. We uncover a cross-over between two different dynamical regimes as a function of the collision energy. At low energies the shocks first stop and then explode in a manner approximately described by hydrodynamics, in close similarity with the Landau model. At high energies the receding fragments move outwards at the speed of light, with a region of negative energy density and negative longitudinal pressure trailing behind them. The rapidity distribution of the energy density at late times around mid-rapidity is not approximately boost-invariant but Gaussian, albeit with a width that increases with the collision energy.

title: IDENTIFYING AND PREDICTING INTENTION TO QUIT USING JUUL AMONG EMERGING ADULTS
Creators: name: Hester, Jakob
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Objectives: (1) Describe intention to quit, (2) identify relationships between sociodemographic factors or social influences and intention to quit, (3) explore if Theory of Planned Behavior-informed constructs can predict intention to quit as well as identify which construct best predicts, and (4) discover if descriptive norms strengthen a predictive model of intention to quit among emerging adults currently using Juul. Participants: Full-time, first-year students currently using Juul, an e-cigarette product, at a large university in the southeastern United States (N = 182). Methods: A November 2018 online survey assessed sociodemographic characteristics, social influences, patterns of use, quit intention, and attitudes, norms, and perceived behavioral control toward Juul. Results: A quarter of participants reported current use, with nearly half intending to quit within six months. Recent quit attempts was the only factor related to intention. Two models were created that successfully predicted intention to quit, but only perceived behavioral control was individually significant as a predictor. Conclusions: Cessation-focused campaigns and interventions are needed on college campuses and could be less tailored than prevention to save time and money.

Tack energy and switchable adhesion of liquid crystal elastomers

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: The mechanical properties of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) make them suitable candidates for pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs). Using the nematic dumbbell constitutive model, and the block model of PSAs, we study their tack energy and the debonding process as could be measured experimentally in the probe-tack test. To investigate their performance as switchable PSAs we compare the tack energy for the director aligned parallel, and perpendicular to the substrate normal, and for the isotropic state. We find that the tack energy is larger in the parallel alignment than the isotropic case by over a factor of two. The tack energy for the perpendicular alignment can be 50% less than the isotropic case. We propose a mechanism for reversibly switchable adhesion based on the reversibility of the isotropic to nematic transition. Finally we consider the influence of several material parameters that could be used to tune the stress-strain response.

description: We study in this paper a smoothness regularization method for functional linear regression and provide a unified treatment for both the prediction and estimation problems. By developing a tool on simultaneous diagonalization of two positive definite kernels, we obtain shaper results on the minimax rates of convergence and show that smoothness regularized estimators achieve the optimal rates of convergence for both prediction and estimation under conditions weaker than those for the functional principal components based methods developed in the literature. Despite the generality of the method of regularization, we show that the procedure is easily implementable. Numerical results are obtained to illustrate the merits of the method and to demonstrate the theoretical developments.

The Professional Career Paths of Members of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board
Creators: name: Woywod, Jason
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2005

description: The Nevada State Gaming Control Board's main duty is to regulate Nevada's gaming industry. The gaming industry in Nevada had seen a rapid growth in gaming revenue within the last fifty years which resulted in the casino industry being taken over by large corporations and becoming very powerful. When private industries become very powerful, they can easily persuade their regulating committees to create policies that benefit the industry and not the general public. The Capture Theory, which was originated by George Stigler, explains that regulators commonly become captured by the industry which they regulate. Moreover, once the individual regulators leave their appointed position, they may financially benefit from entering into the casino industry either directly or indirectly. In this paper, I have developed an empirical research proposal that examines the extent to which previous and current members of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board have entered into the gaming industry, before and after serving out their appointed positions. The main focus of my professional paper is to analyze the professional career paths of previous and current members of the Nevada State Gaming Control Board. This type of study has never been completed before.
Nevada "Nurselessness": An Acute or Chronic Condition? An Examination of the Etiology and Possible Treatment Alternatives
Creators: name: Warren-Newmon, Jeanine
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: Data released by the Department of Health and Human Services in February, 2001, revealed that Nevada has the lowest number of registered nurses per 100,000 population in the nation. The state's population is growing faster than the nursing programs are currently able to produce new graduates. Current predictions are that the existing nursing shortage will become more severe and have a longer duration than has ever before been experienced. While there may not be one single identifiable causative factor, the aging nursing workforce, low unemployment, and the universal nature of the shortage magnify the problem. This paper focuses on the ills of the State of Nevada, truly a population at Risk, by addressing the incidence and prevalence of "Nurselessness" as a public health threat, possible causes, epidemic proportions, treatment alternatives, and potential cost to cure.

description: Symmetric tensor operations arise in a wide variety of computations. However, the benefits of exploiting symmetry in order to reduce storage and computation is in conflict with a desire to simplify memory access patterns. In this paper, we propose a blocked data structure (Blocked Compact Symmetric Storage) wherein we consider the tensor by blocks and store only the unique blocks of a symmetric tensor. We propose an algorithm-by-blocks, already shown of benefit for matrix computations, that exploits this storage format by utilizing a series of temporary tensors to avoid redundant computation. Further, partial symmetry within temporaries is exploited to further avoid redundant storage and redundant computation. A detailed analysis shows that, relative to storing and computing with tensors without taking advantage of symmetry and partial symmetry, storage requirements are reduced by a factor of $ O\left( m! \right)$ and computational requirements by a factor of $O\left( (m+1)!/2^m \right)$, where $ m $ is the order of the tensor. However, as the analysis shows, care must be taken in choosing the correct block size to ensure these storage and computational benefits are achieved (particularly for low-order tensors). An implementation demonstrates that storage is greatly reduced and the complexity introduced by storing and computing with tensors by blocks is manageable. Preliminary results demonstrate that computational time is also reduced. The paper concludes with a discussion of how insights in this paper point to opportunities for generalizing recent advances in the domain of linear algebra libraries to the field of multi-linear computation.

description: Currently, the incidence and prevalence of serious fungal infections is increasing, especially in immunosuppressed individuals. The co-administration of antibiotic and immunosuppressive therapies has driven the emergence of new multidrug-resistant fungal pathogens. Their significant increase and their ability to form biofilms is associated with rising morbidity and mortality. Research into novel synthetically prepared immunomodulators as potential immune response modifiers and prospective participants in drug delivery systems is of interest. Microbial polysaccharides with zwitterionic charge motifs were shown to be promising candidates. Native and ultrasonically treated mannan from the yeast Candida albicans were chemically modified to contain both positive and negative charges in a nearly equimolar ratio mimicking the zwitterionic polysaccharides. RAW 264.7 macrophages and Balb/c mice were subjected as in vitro and in vivo models. Macrophage exposure to the set of amphoteric derivatives of mannan induced a release of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cytokine signature patterns. The functionality of the exposed macrophages was assayed by cell proliferation and phagocytosis. The Th1 and Th17 dominance was over Th2. The phagocytosis and respiratory burst, together with the viability based on cell proliferation supported the bioavailability of formulas. Mouse immunization induced humoral immune responses with high titers of the IgM isotype with the IgM/IgG shift. Our study demonstrated the immunobiological activities of amphoteric derivatives of mannan from Candida albicans. Amphoteric derivatives can be considered as bioavailable formulas with an effective immunomodulatory potency, prospectively applied as a subunit formula in the design of a mannan-based platform for drug and vaccine delivery systems.

description: Xu and Wu (2001) defined the \emph{generalized wordlength pattern} $(A_1, ..., A_k)$ of an arbitrary fractional factorial design (or orthogonal array) on $k$ factors. They gave a coding-theoretic proof of the property that the design has strength $t$ if and only if $A_1 = ... = A_t = 0$. The quantities $A_i$ are defined in terms of characters of cyclic groups, and so one might seek a direct character-theoretic proof of this result. We give such a proof, in which the specific group structure (such as cyclicity) plays essentially no role. Nonabelian groups can be used if the counting function of the design satisfies one assumption, as illustrated by a couple of examples.
Why China? A study of why foreign hotel companies are rushing to develop new luxury hotels in China
Creators: name: Hardingham, Sean
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description:  Purpose:  The purpose of this professional paper is to identify why China is currently the number one recipient of foreign investment from foreign multinational luxury hotel companies.
 Statement of Objective:  An exploratory study will be conducted in support of the purpose. With such a lack of available information relating specifically to luxury hotel development in China; published data on the current economic, cultural, and tourism environment in China will be used to support conclusions made in regard to luxury hotel development by multinational hotel companies.
 Justification:  Deng Xiaopings introduction of the Open Door Policy in 1978 opened the door to what would become decades of unprecedented economic growth in Chinas history. Riding along the waves of new found economic liberty and the freedom to partner with foreign investors, Chinas hotel investment community seized the opportunity to welcome outside investment. The hotel industry in China quickly developed from 137 properties in 1978 to 14,237 properties in 2009. One of the main catalysts of the rapid development seen in the hotel industry has been the expansion of multinational hotel groups into China (Zhang, Guillet, & Gao, 2011).
The outlook for international tourism in China remains extremely positive. In a 2010 study conducted by the World Tourism Organization, China was listed as the fourth most popular international tourism destination (in terms of arrivals) with 133 million visitors. The number of international visitors to China is expected to increase to 137 million by 2020. As positive as these numbers seems, they are dwarfed in comparison to the 2+ billion people participating in leisure travel within China already.
Currently, there is little information available on what makes China an attractive target for foreign multinational luxury hotel companies. This paper will serve to address the void of information relating to this specific issue.
On the stability of the boundary trace of the polynomial L^2-projection on triangles and tetrahedra (extended version)

description: For the reference triangle or tetrahedron $T$, we study the stability properties of the $L^2(T)$-projection $Π_N$ onto the space of polynomials of degree $N$. We show $\|Π_N u\|_{L^2(\partial T)}^2 \leq C \|u\|_{L^2(T)} \|u\|_{H^1(T)}$. This implies optimal convergence rates for the approximation error $\|u - Π_N u\|_{L^2(\partial T)}$ for all $u \in H^k(T)$, $k > 1/2$.
Time-dependent crack growth behavior of alloy 617 and alloy 230 at elevated temperatures
Creators: name: Roy, Shawoon Kumar
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Two Ni-base solid-solution-strengthened superalloys: INCONEL 617 and HAYNES 230 were studied to check sustained loading crack growth (SLCG) behavior at elevated temperatures appropriate for Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) applictaions with constant stress intensity factor (K max = 27.75 MPa[checkmark]m) in air. The results indicate a time-dependent rate controlling process which can be characterized by a linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) parameter - stress intensity factor (K). At elevated temperatures, the crack growth mechanism was best described using a damage zone concept. Based on results and study, SAGBOE (stress accelerated grain boundary oxidation embrittlement) is considered the primary reason for time-dependent SLCG. A thermodynamic equation was considered to correlate all the SLCG results to determine the thermal activation energy in the process. A phenomenological model based on a time-dependent factor was developed considering the previous researcher 's time-dependent fatigue crack propagation (FCP) results and current SLCG results to relate cycle-dependent and time-dependent FCP for both alloys. Further study includes hold time (3+300s) fatigue testing and no hold (1s) fatigue testing with various load ratios (R) at 700°C with a K max  of 27.75 MPa[checkmark]m. Study results suggest an interesting point: crack growth behavior is significantly affected with the change in R value in cycle-dependent process whereas in time-dependent process, change in R does not have any significant effect. Fractography study showed intergranular cracking mode for all time-dependent processes and transgranular cracking mode for cycle-dependent processes. In Alloy 230, SEM images display intergranular cracking with carbide particles, dense oxides and dimple mixed secondary cracks for time-dependent 3+300s FCP and SLCG test. In all cases, Alloy 230 shows better crack growth resistance compared to Alloy 617.

description: We define the characteristic cycle of a locally constant étale sheaf on a smooth variety in positive characteristic ramified along boundary as a cycle in the cotangent bundle of the variety, at least on a neighborhood of the generic point of the divisor on the boundary. The crucial ingredient in the definition is an additive structure on the boundary induced by the groupoid structure of multiple self products. We prove a compatibility with pull-back and local acyclicity in non-characteristic situations. We also give a relation with the characteristic cohomology class under a certain condition and a concrete example where the intersection with the 0-section computes the Euler-Poincaré characteristic.
description: 56 pages. In v2, the local acyclicity is proved in Proposition 3.14. In v3, errors in Examples 2.18.2 and 3.18 are corrected. In v4, the assumption in Proposition 3.14 on local acyclicity is weakened. In v5, Conjectures on the integrality of the characteristic cycle and on the total dimension of nearby cycles are formulated. In v6, some corrections are made and explanations are added

A Review of Auditor Independence

description: Auditor independence is defined as the ability of an auditor to remain unbiased in exercising their professional judgment when providing assurance that their client’s financial statements are free from material errors. Because many people rely on a company’s financial statements, the role of an auditor, and their independence, is important to ensure that those financial statements are reliable and free from material errors. If an auditors’ independence becomes impaired, the auditor is considered biased and no longer able to exercise their professional judgment objectively when providing auditing services, which is the result of an economic bond and close auditor-client relationship. This bond or relationship is formed when the same auditor provides non-audit services like bookkeeping, financial information system design implementation, and other services outside of auditing to their client. This paper examines whether or not auditor independence is impaired when non-audit services are provided by analyzing various peer reviewed research articles. Within the articles we examined factors that cause auditor impairment, the various proxies and measurements used to test impairment, and the results of those studies. The analysis shows that non-audit services do not impair an auditors’ independence, and if it did it would be in appearance and not in fact.

description: We analyze the effects of the temperature on a bosonic Josephson junction realized with ultracold and dilute atoms in a double-well potential. Starting from the eigenstates of the two-site Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we calculate the coherence visibility and the fluctuation of the on-site occupation number and study them as functions of the temperature. We show that, contrary to naive expectations, when the boson-boson interaction is suitably chosen thermal effects can increase the coherence visibility and reduce the on-site number fluctuation.

Quantum ripples over a semi-classical shock

description: The evolution of an initially smooth spatial inhomogeneity in the density of a one-dimensional Fermi gas is well described by classical mechanics. The classical evolution leads to the formation of a shock wave: the density develops kinks in its coordinate dependence. We show that quantum corrections to the shock wave produce density ripples which run off the kinks. Despite their quantum origin, the amplitude and period of the ripples are expressed only in terms of classical objects derived from a smooth density profile.

description: We prove that heat-bath chains (which we define in a general setting) have no negative eigenvalues. Two applications of this result are presented: one to single-site heat-bath chains for spin systems and one to a heat-bath Markov chain for sampling contingency tables. Some implications of our main result for the analysis of the mixing time of heat-bath Markov chains are discussed. We also prove an alternative characterisation of heat-bath chains, and consider possible generalisations.

Understanding the Effects of Sibling Dynamics on Parents’ Math Talk at Home

Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: math talk
subject: parent-child interaction
subject: gender
subject: sibling(s)

description: Mathematical knowledge today is one crucial key for social mobility and past research has suggested a strong correlation between children’s early math achievement and their math outcomes later in life. Focusing specifically on children’s math learning at home, much less is known about the impact older siblings have on younger children’s interactions with their parents. Collecting data from 50 parents of children between the ages 3 to 7 years old, I investigated whether parents of children with an older sibling incorporated more complex math talk compared to parents of children without an older sibling. I also aimed to explore whether the complexity of parents’ math talk was associated with children’s gender. Parents were asked to complete an online Everyday Math Talk Elicitation Task and a Math Context Elicitation Task which measured hypothetical conversations that parents would engage in with their children. Responses were coded into 7 different math domain categories. Results suggested no significant difference in math talk between parents of children with and those without an older sibling. In addition, no significant difference was discovered between parents' math talk for girls and boys. The study also discussed limitations and future directions that could constructively guide researchers in the field to narrow the gap in the literature between siblings and math talk.

description: A discussion of the meaning of a physical concept cannot be separated from discussion of the conditions for its ideal measurement. We assert that quantization is no more than the invocation of the quantum of action in the explanation of some process or phenomenon, and does not imply an assertion of the fundamental nature of such a process. This leads to an ecumenical approach to the problem of quantization of the gravitational field. There can be many valid approaches, each of which should be judged by the domain of its applicability to various phenomena. If two approaches have overlapping domains, the relation between them then itself becomes a subject of study. We advocate an approach to general relativity based on the unimodular group, which emphasizes the physical significance and measurability of the conformal and projective structures. A discussion of the method of matched asymptotic expansions, and of the weakness of terrestrial sources compared with astrophysical and cosmological sources, leads us to suggest theoretical studies of gravitational radiation based on retrodiction (observation) rather than prediction (experimentation).

description: In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols developed for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs). In WBANs, small batteryoperated on-body or implanted biomedical sensor nodes are used to monitor physiological signs such as temperature, blood pressure, ElectroCardioGram (ECG), ElectroEncephaloGraphy (EEG) etc. We discuss design requirements for WBANs with major sources of energy dissipation. Then, we further investigate the existing designed protocols for WBANs with focus on their strengths and weaknesses. Paper ends up with concluding remarks and open research issues for future work.

description: Islands have long been recognized as key contributors to biodiversity because they facilitate geographic isolation and ecological divergence from mainland ancestors. However, island colonization has traditionally been considered an evolutionary dead-end process, and its consequences for continental biodiversity remain understudied. Here, we use the evolutionary radiation of Columbiformes (i.e. pigeons and doves) to examine if ecological niche shifts on islands shaped biological diversification and community composition on continents. We show that the colonization of islands by continental, terrestrial-foraging lineages led to the exploitation of a new ecological niche (i.e. arboreal foraging). This transition towards arboreal foraging was associated with evolutionary adaptation towards a new morphological optimum. In addition, arboreal-foraging lineages of islands experienced an increase in speciation rates, which was associated with successful range expansions to other islands as well as back colonization of continents. Our results provide empirical evidence that diversification on continents can only be fully understood when studying the diversification processes that took place on islands, challenging the view of islands as mere sinks of evolutionary diversity.
Effects of Non-Commutativity on Light-Hydrogen-Like Atoms and Proton Radius

description: We study the corrections induced by the theory of non-commutativity, in both space-space and space-time versions, on the spectrum of hydrogen-like atoms. For this, we use the relativistic theory of two-particle systems to take into account the effects of the reduced mass, and we use perturbation methods to study the effects of non-commutativity.We apply our study to the muon hydrogen with the aim to solve the puzzle of proton radius [R. Pohl et al., Nature 466, 213 (2010) and A. Antognini et al., Science 339, 417 (2013)]. The shifts in the spectrum are found more noticeable in muon H (muH) than in electron H (eH) because the corrections depend on the mass to the third power; This explains the discrepancy between muH and eH results. In space-space non-commutativity, the parameter required to resolve the puzzle Theta(ss) (0.35GeV)-2, exceeds the limit obtained for this parameter from various studies on eH Lamb shift. For space-time non-commutativity, the value Theta(st) (14.3GeV)-2 has been obtained and it is in agreement with the limit determined by Lamb shift spectroscopy in eH. We have also found that this value fills the gap between theory and experiment in the case of muD and improves the agreement between theoretical and experimental values in the case of hydrogen-deuterium isotope shift.

title: Turn Constrained Path Planning Problems
Creators: name: Roman, Victor M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: We consider the problem of constructing multiple disjoint paths connecting a source point s to a target point t in a geometric graph. We require that the paths do not have any sharp turn angles. We present a review of turn constrained path planning algorithms and also algorithms for constructing disjoint paths. We then combine these techniques and present an O(nlogn) time algorithm for constructing a pair of edge disjoint turn constrained paths connecting two nodes in a planar geometric graph. We also consider the development of a turn constrained shortest path map in the presence of polygonal obstacles. Prototype implementations of the proposed algorithms are also presented. These problems have application for trajectory planning for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
