description: The electronic structure of iron pnictides is topologically nontrivial, leading to the appearance of Dirac cones in the band structure for the antiferromagnetic phase. Motivated by the analogy with Dirac cones in graphene, we explore the possible existence of topologically protected surface states. Surprisingly, bands of surface states exist even in the paramagnetic state. A realistic five-orbital model predicts two such bands. In the antiferromagnetic phase, these surface bands survive but split. We obtain the bulk and surface dispersion from exact diagonalization of two- and five-orbital models in a strip geometry and discuss the results based on topology.

description: In this paper it is shown that Tolman's law can be derived from relativistic kinetic theory applied to a simple fluid in a BGK-like approximation. Using this framework, it becomes clear that the contribution of the gravitational field can be viewed as a cross effect that resembles the so-called \emph{Thomson effect} in irreversible thermodynamics. A proper generalization of Tolman's law in an inhomogeneous medium is formally established based on these grounds.

description: We propose a new holonomy formulation for spin foams, which naturally extends the theory space of lattice gauge theories. This allows current spin foam models to be defined on arbitrary two-complexes as well as to generalize current spin foam models to arbitrary, in particular finite groups. The similarity with standard lattice gauge theories allows to apply standard coarse graining methods, which for finite groups can now be easily considered numerically. We will summarize other holonomy and spin network formulations of spin foams and group field theories and explain how the different representations arise through variable transformations in the partition function. A companion paper will provide a description of boundary Hilbert spaces as well as a canonical dynamic encoded in transfer operators.

description: Given a database with numeric attributes, it is often of interest to rank the tuples according to linear scoring functions. For a scoring function and a subset of tuples, the regret of the subset is defined as the (relative) difference in scores between the top-1 tuple of the subset and the top-1 tuple of the entire database. Finding the regretratio minimizing set (RRMS), i.e., the subset of a required size k that minimizes the maximum regret-ratio across all possible ranking functions, has been a well-studied problem in recent years. This problem is known to be NP-complete and there are several approximation algorithms for it. Other NP-complete variants have also been investigated, e.g., finding the set of size k that minimizes the average regret ratio over all linear functions. Prior work have designed customized algorithms for different variants of the problem, and are unlikely to easily generalize to other variants. In this paper we take a different path towards tackling these problems. In contrast to the prior, we propose a unified algorithm for solving different problem variants. Unification is done by localizing the customization to the design of variant-specific subroutines or “oracles“ that are called by our algorithm. Our unified algorithm takes inspiration from the seemingly unrelated problem of clustering from data mining, and the corresponding K-MEDOID algorithm. We make several innovative contributions in designing our algorithm, including various techniques such as linear programming, edge sampling in graphs, volume estimation of multi-dimensional convex polytopes, and several others. We provide rigorous theoretical analysis, as well as substantial experimental evaluations over real and synthetic data sets to demonstrate the practical feasibility of our approach.
Multiwavelength properties of the low-redshift isolated galaxies with active nuclei modelled with CIGALE

description: Using the CIGALE software, we present the preliminary results of a multiwavelength analysis of eighteen low-redshift isolated galaxies with active nuclei (isolated AGNs). This sample was formed by cross-matching the 2MIG isolated AGNs sample with the SDSS DR9 catalog. The host galaxies of this sample have not undergone a merger for at least three billion years, making them a unique laboratory for studying interactions between various astrophysical processes without the complicating factors of merging with other galaxies or the effects of a denser environment. In addition, the study of isolated AGNs can provide valuable information about the evolution and activity of galaxies in the broader context of the distribution of large-scale structures of the Universe. First, we seek to understand how the environment affects the physical processes involved in the accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes in these galaxies. Secondly, to what extent do processes of star formation or degeneration of nuclei activity continue the evolution of these galaxies? Third, how does the localization of isolated AGNs in voids or filaments of a large-scale structure determine the properties of this environment at the low redshifts? Using observable fluxes from UV to the radio ranges from archival databases of space-born and ground-based observatories (GALEX, SDSS, 2MASS, Spitzer, Hershel, IRAS, WISE, VLA), we estimated the contribution from the emission of an active nucleus to the galaxy`s total emission, the stellar mass, and the star formation rate. The mass of the stellar component falls from $10^{10}$ $M_{Sun}$ and $10^{10}$ $M_{Sun}$. The star formation rate for most galaxies (except UGC10120) does not exceed 3 $M_{Sun}$ per year. The best SED fittings (with $χ^2$ < 5) are obtained for the galaxies CGCG248-019, CGCG179-005, CGCG243-024, IC0009, MCG+09-25-022, UGC10244.

Fast construction of higher order digital nets for numerical integration in weighted Sobolev spaces
Creators: name: Goda, Takashi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Higher order digital nets are special classes of point sets for quasi-Monte Carlo rules which achieve the optimal convergence rate for numerical integration of smooth functions. An explicit construction of higher order digital nets was proposed by Dick, which is based on digitally interlacing in a certain way the components of classical digital nets whose number of components is a multiple $ds$ of the dimension $s$. In this paper we give a fast computer search algorithm to find good classical digital nets suitable for interlaced components by using polynomial lattice point sets. We consider certain weighted Sobolev spaces of smoothness of arbitrarily high order, and derive an upper bound on the mean square worst-case error for digitally shifted higher order digital nets. Employing this upper bound as a quality criterion, we prove that the component-by-component construction can be used efficiently to find good polynomial lattice point sets suitable for interlaced components. Through this approach we are able to get some tractability results under certain conditions on the weights. Fast construction using the fast Fourier transform requires the construction cost of $O(dsN \log N)$ operations using $O(N)$ memory, where $N$ is the number of points and $s$ is the dimension. This implies a significant reduction in the construction cost as compared to higher order polynomial lattice point sets. Numerical experiments confirm that the performance of our constructed point sets often outperforms those of higher order digital nets with Sobol' sequences and Niederreiter-Xing sequences used for interlaced components, indicating the usefulness of our algorithm.

description: In modern systems that rely on the use of Battery Management Systems (BMS), longevity and the re-use of battery packs have always been important topics of discussion. These battery packs would be stored inside warehouses where they would need to be properly monitored and configured before their re-integration into the new systems. Traditional use of wired connections can be very cumbersome, and sometimes even impossible, due to the outer layers and packaging. To circumvent these issues, we propose an extension to the conventional BMS design that incorporates the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) for the purpose of wireless battery pack status readout. Additionally, to ensure that these packs are only managed by authenticated devices and that the data that is communicated with is protected against outside eavesdropping and tampering, we present a solution in the form of a lightweight security layer on top of the NFC protocol. To show the feasibility of our design, an accompanying prototype has been implemented and evaluated.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the lives of people across the world, but perhaps none more dramatically than people experiencing homelessness. Drawing on an assortment of documents, including social media posts, podcasts, and government documents, I argue that the pandemic has exacerbated the socio-spatial exclusion of homeless persons in the contemporary American neoliberal city. This exclusionary process pervades all spaces of the city, including subways, charities, and online spaces. This emergent exclusion is experienced by homeless persons as a deleterious rupture in the everyday routine necessary to cope with the traumas of homelessness, leading those most affected to seek a monadic, trance-like state similar to what Charles Peirce labeled firstness. The exclusionary rupture produced by the pandemic has frequently crystallized into permanent constraints, driven now by the perceived need for revitalization in the wake of the pandemic. However, I argue that the pandemic has also led to a dialogic and collective political movement, one in which housed and unhoused communities ally themselves in the fight for housing justice, a marked contrast from the hegemonic revanchist NIMBYism which has become universal since the 1980s.

description: Interactions between the Asian Clam (Corbicula fluminea) and freshwater mussels (Unionidae) have been documented, but the effect of food abundance on these interactions is not well understood. I examined the role of food abundance in modulating the growth and survival responses of juvenile Cumberland Bean (Venustaconcha troostensis) to Corbicula. I ran a series of controlled experiments in which I tested the effect of Corbicula on growth and survival of juvenile freshwater mussels in multiple environmentally relevant conditions of food abundance. Corbicula had no effect on juvenile mussel survival, regardless of food abundance. However, juvenile mussel growth was significantly related to the interaction between Corbicula biomass and food abundance in which the effect of Corbicula was dependent on food abundance. Corbicula had no effect on juvenile mussel growth at high food abundance but had a significant and positive effect on juvenile mussel growth at low food abundance.

title: Examining the Practices and Quality of Preschool Teachers’ Practices Managing the Challenging Behaviors of Young Children
Creators: name: Tyrrell, Cameron
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020

description: All teachers have to manage a classroom environment and meet the needs of their students. In early childhood educational settings, challenging behaviors have been found to be a significant responsibility. The variables involved in effectively intervening in challenging behavior, and developing behavior support plans, are often determined by various factors. Previous research into challenging behaviors of young children have focused on the effectiveness of certain behavioral interventions, professional development opportunities, and curriculum such as the Pyramid Model. This proposed qualitative study centered the practices teachers reported using interceding in problem behavior, and inquired about the influences behind why teachers used certain classroom management practices. A multi-case study design across four classrooms within one type of educational facility sought depth of understanding about potential links between the practices teachers reported using and the quality of the classroom environment, using the Teaching Pyramid Observation Tool (TPOT) as an additional procedure in data collection.

title: Middle-Class Masculinity in England: Examining Citizen-Soldier Volunteers of the First World War
Creators: name: Litchman, Connor
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
This thesis explores the origins of the idolized masculine archetype known as the citizen-soldier in Edwardian era England. It shows the process of its construction during the Victorian era and how it was maneuvered by the state and middle-class population to cultivate consent for volunteerism during the First World War. To claim that men volunteered to fight due to a sense of patriotism or thirst for adventure is too simplistic, and fails to account for historical processes. The educated middle classes did not enlist into England’s army unthinkingly. They were motivated by anxiety or the possibility of attaining citizen-soldier status, which the middle class revered above all other constructs of masculinity. Despite the differing perceptions of duty within the middle class all shared a common impetus to volunteer. This, I argue, is because each man was a product of his middle-class upbringing, which demanded of him deference to authority, patriotism, stoicism in the face of danger, pride, camaraderie and honor. The violence of trench warfare did not dismantle citizen-soldier hegemony. Stoic attitudes and fatalism allowed men to maintain their manliness when faced with the horrors of war. When they reflected on violence in the trenches or their fallen friends, soldiers described their service as an experience that made them better men. Thus, the citizen-soldier construct which attained hegemony in decades before the First World War lived on as a dominant masculine archetype even after men’s wartime service was complete.

description: In this paper, we examine the interacting dark energy model in $f(T)$ cosmology. We assume dark energy as a perfect fluid and choose a specific cosmologically viable form $f(T)= β\sqrt{T} $. We show that there is one attractor solution to the dynamical equation of $f(T)$ Friedmann equations. Further we investigate the stability in phase space for a general $f(T)$ model with two interacting fluids. By studying the local stability near the critical points, we show that the critical points lie on the sheet $u^*=(c-1)v^*$ in the phase space, spanned by coordinates $(u,v,Ω,T)$. From this critical sheet, we conclude that the coupling between the dark energy and matter $c\in (-2,0)$.

description: In this work we present the first version of ROSA Analyser, a tool designed to get closer to a fully automatic process of analysing the behaviour of a system specified as a process of the Markovian Process Algebra ROSA. In this first development stage, ROSA Analyser is able to generate the Labelled Transition System, according to ROSA Operational Semantics. ROSA Analyser performance starts with the Syntactic Analysis so generating a layered structure, suitable to then, apply the Operational Semantics Transition rules in the easier way. ROSA Analyser is able to recognize some states identities deeper than the Syntactic ones. This is the very first step in the way to reduce the size of the LTS and then to avoid the state explosion problem, so making this task more tractable. For the sake of better illustrating the usefulness of ROSA Analyser, a case study is also provided within this work.

Algorithms for Tower Placement on Terrain
Creators: name: Dahal, Binay
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: We review existing algorithms for the placement of towers for illuminating 1.5D and 2.5D terrains. Finding the minimum number of towers of zero height to illuminate 1.5D terrain is known to be NP-Hard. We present approximation algorithms for solving two variations of the tower placement problem. In the first variation, we consider the placement of a single tower of given height to maximize visibility coverage. In the second variation, we consider the problem of placing reduced number of common height towers to cover the entire terrain. Algorithms for solving both problem variations are based on discretizing the problem domain by carefully identifying feasible placement points. We also present a Java implementation for placing a single tower of minimum height to illuminate a given 1.5D terrain.
Biodegradable and Biocompatible Silk Fibroin for Optical Applications
Creators: name: Malinowski, Corey Bryce
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: This study presents nanopatterned silk fibroin films that were fabricated using soft lithography and nanoimprinting to replicate patterns from diffraction gratings. These film's optics were analyzed based on their light scattering potential as well as their transmittance and transmission haze using a laser light, spectrometer, and UV-Vis spectrophotometer, respectively. The patterned fibroin films all displayed similar light scattering patterns to their master patterns with some transmission haze. When using the spectrometer to measure samples, those made without any nanostructure displayed transmission of 90% and over, while those with patterns depended on the structure used. The denser a structure, like the mesh structure used, resulted in lower transmission (~70%), while those with a less dense linear structure displayed higher transmission (~80%). This agreed well with transmission measurements of patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds created to fabricate the patterned films. When using the more complex spectrophotometer device to measure the transmission, the light transmitted by all films was found to be much higher, over 90%. This is because the spectrophotometer can measure the total transmission, while the spectrometer apparatus using optical fibers can not collect light that is scattered beyond the diameter of the fiber. For the transmission haze, samples displayed high haze of over 65% across a 400-850 nm range, with nanostructures adding additional haze, up to 70% with a mesh structure. Based on this analysis, a new direction is open to combine transparent fibroin films with high haze with either solar cells to act as an anti-reflection (AR) coating with its light scattering abilities or as a short-range, bio-dissolvable implantable device for photodynamic therapy (PDT) to act as an optical diffuser by combining the film with a degummed silk fiber that can act as an optical waveguide. These technologies can give new arrangements for bio-photonic devices to be used in photovoltaics (PV) or medical treatments that have the the advantage of being totally biodegradable and biocompatible making them safe for the environment and human bodies.

description: We present a sample of 23 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae that were discovered in the background of galaxy clusters targeted by ROTSE-IIIb and use up to 18 of these to determine the local (z = 0.05) volumetric rate. Since our survey is flux limited and thus biased against fainter objects, the pseudo-absolute magnitude distribution (pAMD) of SNeIa in a given volume is an important concern, especially the relative frequency of high to low-luminosity SNeIa. We find that the pAMD derived from the volume limited Lick Observatory Supernova Search (LOSS) sample is incompatible with the distribution of SNeIa in a volume limited (z<0.12) sub sample of the SDSS-II. The LOSS sample requires far more low-luminosity SNeIa than the SDSS-II can accommodate. Even though LOSS and SDSS-II have sampled different SNeIa populations, their volumetric rates are surprisingly similar. Using the same model pAMD adopted in the SDSS-II SNeIa rate calculation and excluding two high-luminosity SNeIa from our sample, we derive a rate that is marginally higher than previous low-redshift determinations. With our full sample and the LOSS pAMD our rate is more than double the canonical value. We also find that 5 of our 18 SNeIa are hosted by very low-luminosity (M_B > -16) galaxies, whereas only 1 out 79 nearby SDSS-II SNeIa have such faint hosts. It is possible that previous works have under-counted either low luminosity SNeIa, SNeIa in low luminosity hosts, or peculiar SNeIa (sometimes explicitly), and the total SNeIa rate may be higher than the canonical value.

Effect of Curing Conditions on Mechanical Properties and Durability of Concrete
Creators: name: Salas-Borrero, Edgar Lazaro
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: This thesis presents the results for three different concrete mix designs with compression strengths of 4500 psi. The experiment was conducted in the Las Vegas area during the summer, from August 16th to October 12th, 2018, where temperatures and relative humidity was recorded daily, three times a day. In total, 135 concrete specimens (4" x 8") were taken on site and were subjected to five different curing conditions.
For each concrete mix design, three concrete samples (4" x 8") were taken and submitted for each curing condition, resulting in 45 cylinders for each concrete mix design. The same number of cylinders were taken for testing at seven days, 28 days, and 56 days, which was the final testing age for this study. There were 45 concrete cylinders per each mix design and 135 specimens in total for this experiment. All cylinders were subjected to the same tests at the time the samples were taken; the tests consisted of concrete temperature testing and unit weight testing. Additionally, for this research, in order to learn the chloride ion penetration and surface concrete resistivity, a non-destructive test using a Resipod device was performed. Furthermore, the same samples were subjected to compression strength tests.
Finally, for each mix design, the results obtained from all of the tests were analyzed with the assistance of tables and graphs, which provide significant data for the conclusions and recommendations of this thesis.
Estimation of the Parameters in a Spatial Regressive-Autoregressive Model Using Ord's Eigenvalue Method
Creators: name: Tonmoy, Sajib Mahmud Mahmud
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: In this thesis, we study one of Ord's (1975) global spatial regression models.
Ord considered spatial regressive-autoregressive models to describe the interaction
between location and a response variable in the presence of several covariates. He also
developed a practical estimation method for the parameters of this regression model
using the eigenvalues of a weight matrix that captures the contiguity of locations.
We review the theoretical aspects of his estimation method and implement it in the
statistical package R.
We also implement Ord's methods on the Columbus, Ohio, crime data set from the
year 1980, which involves the crime rate of each neighborhood of the city as a response
variable and the average income and average house value of each neighborhood as
covariates. We use different weight matrices that capture different "nearest neighbor"
notions and compare the results.

Effects of Human Maternal Placentophagy on Maternal Postpartum Iron-Status
Creators: name: Gryder, Laura Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: Recently, human maternal placenta ingestion, known as placentophagy, has emerged as a rare but growing practice among postpartum mothers in industrialized societies, and is currently found in both home birth and hospital birth settings. The practice is purported to result in certain health benefits for postpartum mothers, some of which could be related to the iron content in full-term placenta (e.g., increased energy and an improved and more rapid postpartum recovery, among others). The aim of this research project was to investigate the effect of encapsulated placentophagy on maternal postpartum iron status via a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study (n=28). The majority of participants were Caucasian (79%), with at least some college education (88.7%), and married or in a domestic partnership (87%). Maternal iron status of women in the placenta supplement group (n=12), the placebo group (n=16), and an additional iron-supplement comparison group (n=3) was measured via hemoglobin, transferrin, and ferritin taken from blood samples at four time points; the 36th week of pregnancy, within 72 hours of parturition, between days five and seven postpartum, and during week three postpartum. All participants also completed a Willet Food Frequency Questionnaire in order to assess dietary iron intake during the study period. Results reveal no statistically significant differences in the maternal iron status of women in the placenta supplement and placebo (beef or vegetarian supplements) groups. While the small sample size of the additional (over-the-counter) oral iron supplement group did not allow for statistical comparison with the placenta supplement and placebo groups, maternal iron status of these participants varied only slightly from those of placenta supplement and placebo group participants. The current study suggests that encapsulated placenta supplementation neither significantly improves, nor impairs postpartum maternal iron status for women consuming at least adequate amounts of dietary iron.

description: We present a candidate for the most distant galaxy known to date with a photometric redshift z = 10.7 +0.6 / -0.4 (95% confidence limits; with z < 9.5 galaxies of known types ruled out at 7.2-sigma). This J-dropout Lyman Break Galaxy, named MACS0647-JD, was discovered as part of the Cluster Lensing and Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH). We observe three magnified images of this galaxy due to strong gravitational lensing by the galaxy cluster MACSJ0647.7+7015 at z = 0.591. The images are magnified by factors of ~8, 7, and 2, with the brighter two observed at ~26th magnitude AB (~0.15 uJy) in the WFC3/IR F160W filter (~1.4 - 1.7 um) where they are detected at >~ 12-sigma. All three images are also confidently detected at >~ 6-sigma in F140W (~1.2 - 1.6 um), dropping out of detection from 15 lower wavelength HST filters (~0.2 - 1.4 um), and lacking bright detections in Spitzer/IRAC 3.6um and 4.5um imaging (~3.2 - 5.0 um). We rule out a broad range of possible lower redshift interlopers, including some previously published as high redshift candidates. Our high redshift conclusion is more conservative than if we had neglected a Bayesian photometric redshift prior. Given CLASH observations of 17 high mass clusters to date, our discoveries of MACS0647-JD at z ~ 10.8 and MACS1149-JD1 at z ~ 9.6 are consistent with a lensed luminosity function extrapolated from lower redshifts. This would suggest that low luminosity galaxies could have reionized the universe. However given the significant uncertainties based on only two galaxies, we cannot yet rule out the sharp drop off in number counts at z >~ 10 suggested by field searches.

description: Let $G$ be a finite group, and $c$ an element of $\mathbb{Z}\cup \{\infty\}$. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be {\it $c$-nilpotent} if it is nilpotent, and has nilpotency class at most $c$. A subset $X$ of $G$ is said to be {\it non-$c$-nilpotent} if it contains no two elements $x$ and $y$ such that the subgroup $< x,y>$ is $c$-nilpotent. In this paper we study the quantity $ω_c(G)$, defined to be the size of the largest non-$c$-nilpotent subset of $L$. In the case that $L$ is a finite group of Lie type, we identify covers of $L$ by $c$-nilpotent subgroups, and we use these covers to construct large non-$c$-nilpotent sets in $L$. We prove that for groups $L$ of fixed rank $r$, there exist constants $D_r$ and $E_r$ such that $D_r N \leq ω_\infty(L) \leq E_r N$, where $N$ is the number of maximal tori in $L$. In the case of groups $L$ with twisted rank 1, we provide exact formulae for $ω_c(L)$ for all $c\in\mathbb{Z}\cup \{\infty\}$. If we write $q$ for the level of the Frobenius endomorphism associated with $L$ and assume that $q>5$, then $ω_\infty(G)$ may be expressed as a polynomial in $q$ with coefficients in $\{0,1\}$.

description: This study examines what drives organizational adoption and use of social media through a model built around four key factors - strategy, capacity, governance, and environment. Using Twitter, Facebook, and other data on 100 large US nonprofit organizations, the model is employed to examine the determinants of three key facets of social media utilization: 1) adoption, 2) frequency of use, and 3) dialogue. We find that organizational strategies, capacities, governance features, and external pressures all play a part in these social media adoption and utilization outcomes. Through its integrated, multi-disciplinary theoretical perspective, this study thus helps foster understanding of which types of organizations are able and willing to adopt and juggle multiple social media accounts, to use those accounts to communicate more frequently with their external publics, and to build relationships with those publics through the sending of dialogic messages.
