description: We use magnetic helicity to characterise solar wind fluctuations at proton-kinetic scales from Wind observations. For the first time, we separate the contributions to helicity from fluctuations propagating at angles quasi-parallel and oblique to the local mean magnetic field, $\mathbf{B}_0$. We find that the helicity of quasi-parallel fluctuations is consistent with Alfvén-ion cyclotron and fast magnetosonic-whistler modes driven by proton temperature anisotropy instabilities and the presence of a relative drift between $α$-particles and protons. We also find that the helicity of oblique fluctuations has little dependence on proton temperature anisotropy and is consistent with fluctuations from the anisotropic turbulent cascade. Our results show that parallel-propagating fluctuations at proton-kinetic scales in the solar wind are dominated by proton temperature anisotropy instabilities and not the turbulent cascade. We also provide evidence that the behaviour of fluctuations at these scales is independent of the origin and macroscopic properties of the solar wind.

description: Science is becoming very data intensive1. Today's astronomy datasets with tens of millions of galaxies already present substantial challenges for data mining. In less than 10 years the catalogs are expected to grow to billions of objects, and image archives will reach Petabytes. Imagine having a 100GB database in 1996, when disk scanning speeds were 30MB/s, and database tools were immature. Such a task today is trivial, almost manageable with a laptop. We think that the issue of a PB database will be very similar in six years. In this paper we scale our current experiments in data archiving and analysis on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey2,3 data six years into the future. We analyze these projections and look at the requirements of performing data mining on such data sets. We conclude that the task scales rather well: we could do the job today, although it would be expensive. There do not seem to be any show-stoppers that would prevent us from storing and using a Petabyte dataset six years from today.

description: Web Services form a new, emerging paradigm to handle distributed access to resources over the Internet. There are platform independent standards (SOAP, WSDL), which make the developers? task considerably easier. This article discusses how web services could be used in the context of the Virtual Observatory. We envisage a multi-layer architecture, with interoperating services. A well-designed lower layer consisting of simple, standard services implemented by most data providers will go a long way towards establishing a modular architecture. More complex applications can be built upon this core layer. We present two prototype applications, the SdssCutout and the SkyQuery as examples of this layered architecture.

subject: Policy process

description: The difficulties involved with addressing wicked problems have been acknowledged since the early 1970s. Collaboration, deliberation and communicative rationality have been posited as a way forward on these. Some wicked problems, however, present the additional challenge of high levels of psychosocial sensitivity and verbal proscription. The unspeakable nature of these problems makes them particularly problematic within rational deliberation processes because they are quite literally issues that we can’t or won’t talk about. Through this research I seek to understand how these unspeakable policy problems are dealt with by and can affect policy making processes, participation and outcomes. As a paradigmatic unspeakable policy problem, this research focuses on a case study of the regulation of sewage discharges from recreational boats. Through this case study I explore how governments go about the business of addressing unspeakable policy problems and what happens when they do. Using critical discourse analysis and an interpretive approach to policy analysis, I highlight the discursive strategies used in these policy making debates and consultations, as well as the policy implications of the way the unspeakable object and subject are constructed. These discursive strategies seek to influence the creation and definition of policy problems, to control the range of policy contributions that are considered to be legitimate, and to restrict the range of issues and possible solutions. I argue that each of these acts gains an increased importance due to the unspeakability of the policy problem. Does it matter whether we find excrement abhorrent because we find it disgusting or because it is harmful? Such a distinction provides clues as to why people respond the way they do to certain policies, the potential for behaviour change and the means by which it is most likely to be achieved. Placing the object of policy, excrement, and its sociocultural constructions at the forefront of our enquiry enables us to recognise the implications of its unspeakable presence and, this, the need for a more contextually and culturally situated policy approach. Recognising sewage regulation as an unspeakable problem allows for the design of processes which both acknowledge and accommodate its unspeakability. This thesis demonstrates the value of focussing on the discourses of policy in developing an understanding of the constraints and opportunities for policy making for unspeakable issues. I advocate the need for policy process to accommodate a range of ways of speaking about the unspeakable that accommodates emotional and embodied talk, and not just abstract or technical contributions.
An Examination of the History and Evolution of Senior Adult Theatre accomplishments that Impact Intergenerational Theatre of the 21st Century

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores senior adult theatre recorded interviews, several text book, internet, and published articles that report on findings conducted by educational scholars regarding senior adults in theatre 60 and older. Subsequent background research reflects on multigenerational accomplishments within historical American Theatre and The American Theatre Association discoveries regarding senior adult theatre. Further inquiries include reflections on The American Theatre Association of Senior Adult Theatre, Liz Lermans Dance Exchange of Maryland, Ohio State University Senior Adult Theatre programs, University of North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement, Montgomery County Maryland Senior Theatre program, University of Oregon, Art Age, the history of the University of Nevada Las Vegas College of Fine Arts Senior Adult Theatre programs, and the Stanford University intergenerational engagement study. Multicultural research and key issues embedded within the larger cultural portrait of the senior adult theatre community lead to comprehension of the intergenerational model curriculum and instructional programs inherent in the StageBridge storytelling process. Lastly, the thesis is an appeal to reinstate the Senior Adult Theatre Bachelor program that was once offered at UNLV.

description: Datasets with tens of millions of galaxies present new challenges for the analysis of spatial clustering. We have built a framework that integrates a database of object catalogs, tools for creating masks of bad regions, and a fast (NlogN) correlation code. This system has enabled unprecedented efficiency in carrying out the analysis of galaxy clustering in the SDSS catalog. A similar approach is used to compute the three-dimensional spatial clustering of galaxies on very large scales. We describe our strategy to estimate the effect of photometric errors using a database. We discuss our efforts as an early example of data-intensive science. While it would have been possible to get these results without the framework we describe, it will be infeasible to perform these computations on the future huge datasets without using this framework.

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The Galactic Faraday depth sky is a tracer for both the Galactic magnetic field and the thermal electron distribution. It has been previously reconstructed from polarimetric measurements of extra-galactic point sources. Here, we improve on these works by using an updated inference algorithm as well as by taking into account the free-free emission measure map from the Planck survey. In the future, the data situation will improve drastically with the next generation Faraday rotation measurements from SKA and its pathfinders. Anticipating this, the aim of this paper is to update the map reconstruction method with the latest development in imaging based on information field theory. We demonstrate the validity of the new algorithm by applying it to the Oppermann et al. (2012) data compilation and compare our results to the previous map.\\ Despite using exactly the previous data set, a number of novel findings are made: A non-parametric reconstruction of an overall amplitude field resembles the free-free emission measure map of the Galaxy. Folding this free-free map into the analysis allows for more detailed predictions. The joint inference enables us to identify regions with deviations from the assumed correlations between the free-free and Faraday data, thereby pointing us to Galactic structures with distinguishably different physics. We e.g. find evidence for an alignment of the magnetic field within the line of sights along both directions of the Orion arm.

description: Coordination polymers (CPs) of mixed-ligand lanthanide complexes [Ln2(1,3-pdta)(TPA)(H2O)2]n·nH2O [Ln = La, 1; Ce, 2; Pr, 3; Nd, 4] (1,3-H4pdta = 1,3-propanediaminetetraacetic acid; H2TPA = terephthalic acid) were hydrothermally synthesized with flexible 1,3-pdta and rigid TPA ligands. Moreover, lanthanide propanediaminetetraacetates [Ln(1,3-Hpdta)(H2O)]2n·nH2TPA·xH2O [Ln = Sm, 5; Gd, 6] with multi-layered structures were also obtained. In 1–4, both 1,3-pdta and TPA coordinate with lanthanide ions through carboxyl oxygen and nitrogen atoms. In 5 and 6, only 1,3-Hpdta coordinates with the central lanthanide ion, where one nitrogen atom in 1,3-Hpdta is protonated, and TPAs are crystallized as H2TPA with the central multi-layered structures of [Ln(1,3-Hpdta)(H2O)]2n through very strong hydrogen bonds [2.504(4) Å]. Solid-state 13C NMR analysis of 1 revealed the coordination of carboxyl groups. However, the methylene groups of 1,3-pdta showed an obvious upfield shift, which can be attributed to the effects of the phenyl ring in TPA ligand. The successful synthesis of these mixed-ligand lanthanides provides a rational design of such lanthanide CPs with flexible and rigid ligands.

An Investigation into Multi-View Error Correcting Output Code Classifiers Applied to Organ Tissue Classification

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2020

description: Large amounts of data is being generated constantly each day, so much data that it is difficult to find patterns in order to predict outcomes and make decisions for both humans and machines alike. It would be useful if this data could be simplified using machine learning techniques. For example, biological cell identity is dependent on many factors tied to genetic processes. Such factors include proteins, gene transcription, and gene methylation. Each of these factors are highly complex mechanism with immense amounts of data. Simplifying these can then be helpful in finding patterns in them. Error-Correcting Output Codes (ECOC) does this for classification by breaking the problem into multiple binary cases. This thesis proposes a new approach that also splits the feature set into multiple subsets called views. This new proposed method is tested on multiple datasets from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to analyze performance. The method is then applied to genetic data collected from The Cancer Genome Atls (TCGA) and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to try and improve results on classifying the tissue of origin for various tumor samples.

description: The SARS-CoV-2 is the causative agent of COVID-19 pandemic that is causing a global health emergency. The lack of targeted therapeutics and limited treatment options have triggered the scientific community to develop new vaccines or small molecule therapeutics against various targets of SARS-CoV-2. The main protease (Mpro) is a well characterized and attractive drug target because of its crucial role in processing of the polyproteins which are required for viral replication. In order to provide potential lead molecules against the Mpro for clinical use, we docked a set of 65 bioactive molecules of Tea plant followed by exploration of the vast conformational space of protein-ligand complexes by long term molecular dynamics (MD) simulations (1.50 µs). Top three bioactive molecules (Oolonghomobisflavan-A, Theasinensin-D, and Theaflavin-3-O-gallate) were selected by comparing their docking scores with repurposed drugs (Atazanavir, Darunavir, and Lopinavir) against SARS-CoV-2. Oolonghomobisflavan-A molecule showed a good number of hydrogen bonds with Mpro and higher MM-PBSA binding energy when compared to all three repurposed drugs molecules during the time of simulation. Further, MD simulations and MM-PBSA studies showed Oolonghomobisflavan-A as a potential bioactive molecule to act as an inhibitor for the Mpro of SARS-CoV-2.
Analysis of Blockchain-Based Storage Systems

description: Increasing storage needs has driven cloud storage to become a prevalent choice to store data for both business and personal use. Cloud service providers, such as Google, offer advantages over storing personal hard drives; however, customers lose privacy and require trust in the provider to act honestly with their data. This thesis explores an alternative to cloud storage using Blockchain technology. I focus on Sia, a blockchain-based storage platform that allows users to rent storage from other users.
In this study, I evaluate the security, performance and costs between the Sia and traditional cloud storage. I assessed security based on five categories: encryption, data access, durability, redundancy and availability. The performance and costs were evaluated through various storage tests using Sia and Google Drive. The results revealed Sia to have higher availability and less data access (more privacy). Google Drive displayed faster upload times, while Sia displayed faster download times. Additionally, the final cost of using Sia was comparable to cloud providers; however, was more than double of what was expected due to data redundancy costs. Further testing is needed to fully understand the complex costs structure of a blockchain-based storage platform.

description: This thesis investigates economies of scale and scope in higher education. In a period of tighter budget constraints, declining government funding, and increasing competition for students, staff and non-commercial and commercial research funding, understanding the nature of any scale and scope economies in higher education is critically important for both policy change and ongoing institutional and structural reform. The thesis presents three separate but related research objectives to provide insights into this important area: first, an examination of new output sources of cost economies (including scale and scope) as they exist in the Australian higher education sector, second, an analysis of the link between university performance and cost economies, and finally, an evaluation of the factors affecting the estimated economies of scale and scope.

description: The calculation of accurate photoelectron spectra (PES) for strong-field laser-atom experiments is a demanding computational task, even in single-active-electron approximation. The QPROP code, published in 2006, has been extended in 2016 in order to provide the possibility to calculate PES using the so-called t-SURFF approach [L. Tao, A. Scrinzi, New J. Phys. 14, 013021 (2012)]. In t-SURFF, the flux through a surface while the laser is on is monitored. Calculating PES from this flux through a surface enclosing a relatively small computational grid is much more efficient than calculating it from the widely spread wavefunction at the end of the laser pulse on a much larger grid. However, the smaller the minimum photoelectron energy of interest is, the more post-propagation after the actual laser pulse is necessary. This drawback of t-SURFF has been overcome by Morales et al. [F. Morales, T. Bredtmann, S. Patchkovskii, J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 49, 245001 (2016)] by noticing that the propagation of the wavefunction from the end of the laser pulse to infinity can be performed very efficiently in a single step. In this work, we introduce QPROP 3.0, in which this single-step post-propagation (dubbed i-SURFV) is added. Examples, illustrating the new feature, are discussed. A few other improvements, concerning mainly the parameter files, are also explained.

title: Community learning, leadership and gender: the case of kominkan in Okayama City, Japan
Creators: name: Yorozu-Kurata, Rika

Subjects: subject: community learning, leadership, gender.

description: This dissertation is about leadership and gender in community learning in Japan focusing on a case of women professionals working in kominkan in Okayama City. Kominkan is a public and local educational institution providing community learning and community development services across Japan. Characteristics of leadership practiced by women in promoting transformative community learning for themselves as well as community members were analysed. Based on a constructivist paradigm and critical feminist perspectives, my research used qualitative methods covering analysis of national and local policy documents and information-communication materials by kominkan and narrative text and voice data from individual interviews with ten female staff members of kominkan in Okayama City. Validation of early analysis was conducted through informal group discussion and follow-up interview with two participants. During the collection and analysis of primary data, I applied voice-centred relational method (Mauthner and Doucet, 1998; Jankowska, 2014) in conducting and reflecting on in-depth feminist interviews (Reinharz and Chase, 2001; Doucet and Mauthner, 2008) in Okayama City in 2016 and 2017. Drawing on leadership characteristics of women by Grogan and Shakeshaft (2010), I analysed the research participants’ experiences with leadership and gender and their aspirations. One of my findings is that they are exercising transformative leadership with feminist critical perspectives. Their leadership is less visible than stereotypical (male) leaders; they define leadership as kuroko (backstage supporter in traditional Japanese play supporting main actor or puppets) or what Cranton and Write (2008) called learning companions. Women are the majority in the community learning and lifelong learning profession in Japan and other countries. Understanding and appreciating women’s leadership styles is important in improving the professional development programmes as well as the quality of community learning programmes lead by them. Recommendations I propose for Okayama City may be significant for other local governments that want to take serious measures to promote women working in this profession in Japan and other countries.

description: Large tensor (multi-dimensional array) data routinely appear nowadays in a wide range of applications, due to modern data collection capabilities. Often such observations are taken over time, forming tensor time series. In this article we present a factor model approach to the analysis of high-dimensional dynamic tensor time series and multi-category dynamic transport networks. This article presents two estimation procedures along with their theoretical properties and simulation results. We present two applications to illustrate the model and its interpretations.

description: Evaluation of Internet protocols usually uses random scenarios or scenarios based on designers' intuition. Such approach may be useful for average-case analysis but does not cover boundary-point (worst or best-case) scenarios. To synthesize boundary-point scenarios a more systematic approach is needed.In this paper, we present a method for automatic synthesis of worst and best case scenarios for protocol boundary-point evaluation. Our method uses a fault-oriented test generation (FOTG) algorithm for searching the protocol and system state space to synthesize these scenarios. The algorithm is based on a global finite state machine (FSM) model. We extend the algorithm with timing semantics to handle end-to-end delays and address performance criteria. We introduce the notion of a virtual LAN to represent delays of the underlying multicast distribution tree. The algorithms used in our method utilize implicit backward search using branch and bound techniques and start from given target events. This aims to reduce the search complexity drastically. As a case study, we use our method to evaluate variants of the timer suppression mechanism, used in various multicast protocols, with respect to two performance criteria: overhead of response messages and response time. Simulation results for reliable multicast protocols show that our method provides a scalable way for synthesizing worst-case scenarios automatically. Results obtained using stress scenarios differ dramatically from those obtained through average-case analyses. We hope for our method to serve as a model for applying systematic scenario generation to other multicast protocols.

description: We suggest a novel version of a cosmological Genesis model within beyond Horndeski theory. It combines the initial Genesis behavior of Creminelli et al. [arXiv:1007.0027, arXiv:1209.3768] with complete stability property of the previous beyond Horndeski construction [arXiv:1705.06626]. The specific features of the model are that space-time rapidly tends to Minkowski in asymptotic past and that both asymptotic past and future are described by General Relativity (GR).

description: We observe that biquadratic potentials admit non-trivial flat directions when the determinant of the quartic coupling matrix of the scalar fields vanishes. This consideration suggests a new approach to the problem of finding flat directions in scale-invariant theories, noticeably simplifying the study of scalar potentials involving many fields. The method generalizes to arbitrary quartic potentials by requiring that the hyperdeterminant of the tensor of scalar couplings be zero. We demonstrate our approach with detailed examples pertaining to common scalar extensions of the Standard Model.

description: Excited nuclear fragments are emitted during nuclear fission. The de-excitation of these fission fragments takes place as sequential emission of neutrons followed by photons. A correlation between neutron and photon multiplicities accompanying fission is thus expected. Fission event generators based on established statistical nuclear physics models predict a negative event-by-event correlation in neutron-photon multiplicity. A survey of published experimental results of an event-by-event covariance between the neutron and photon multiplicities emitted following the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf is presented. Analytic unfolding expressions are developed in this work to determine the bias introduced by background sources, particle misclassification, pulse pileup, and inelastic photon production. The published experimental data are re-analyzed using these unfolding techniques and are found to be in qualitative agreement with the predictions of model-based calculations. In particular, we have concluded that there exists a significant event-by-event neutron-photon emission competition following the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf.

description: We provide a denotational semantics for first-order logic that captures the two-level view of the computation process typical for constraint programming. At one level we have the usual program execution. At the other level an automatic maintenance of the constraint store takes place. We prove that the resulting semantics is sound with respect to the truth definition. By instantiating it by specific forms of constraint management policies we obtain several sound evaluation policies of first-order formulas. This semantics can also be used a basis for sound implementation of constraint maintenance in presence of block declarations and conditionals.

description: Let $Ω$ be a connected open set in the plane and $γ: [0,1] \to \overlineΩ$ a path such that $γ((0,1)) \subset Ω$. We show that the path $γ$ can be ``pulled tight'' to a unique shortest path which is homotopic to $γ$, via a homotopy $h$ with endpoints fixed whose intermediate paths $h_t$, for $t \in [0,1)$, satisfy $h_t((0,1)) \subset Ω$. We prove this result even in the case when there is no path of finite Euclidean length homotopic to $γ$ under such a homotopy. For this purpose, we offer three other natural, equivalent notions of a ``shortest'' path. This work generalizes previous results for simply connected domains with simple closed curve boundaries.
