description: Sono necessarie alcune precisazioni in merito a quanto riportato in due articoli apparsi su La Stampa, in cui viene menzionato un cippo con data consolare relativa a Marco Lollio.  Prego considerare ulteriore informazione: La proposta del legame tra la direzione del decumano, direzione ortiva del sole e festa del calendario non è nuova, ma proposta da Heinrich Nissen nel suo Das Tempulm del 1869. La principale critica fatta a Nissen da Valeton, Thulin e Castagnoli è che la città non è un tenplum, non è uno spazio augurale. Non esiste quindi la base rituale per legare città al templum ed al sorgere del sole. Vi prego inoltre di leggere "Una piccola nota su Marco Lollio e Augusta Taurinorum", https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5894872 , poiché lo scritto che trovate in questa pagina è stato oggetto di un attacco che è arrivato persino a tirare in campo parabole evangeliche.

Regional survey of visiting hour policies and procedures in coronary care units
Creators: name: Hanner, Karen Sweeney
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: The purpose of this study was to examine current visiting hour policies of coronary care units in the western United States. The study examined the influences of demographic and institutional data on visiting hour variables. Also, the correlations between the type of visiting policy with the head nurses' perception of nurse, patient, and family satisfaction levels were determined. The results were compared with previous studies; Data was obtained with a questionnaire developed by the researcher from a review of the literature. Questionnaires were mailed to the head nurses of coronary care units in hospitals within the western United States; The majority of the responding nurses reported a visiting policy allowing unrestricted frequency and length, night visits, and visitation by non-family members and children under 14 years of age. No significant relationships were noted between visiting hour variables and institutional or demographic data. Both ascribed patient and ascribed family satisfaction levels were significantly related to the type of visiting hour policy. However, no relationship was noted between type of policy and nurses' satisfaction.
Gravitationally enhanced depolarization of ultracold neutrons in magnetic field gradients, and implications for neutron electric dipole moment measurements

description: Trapped ultracold neutrons (UCN) have for many years been the mainstay of experiments to search for the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron, a critical parameter in constraining scenarios of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Because their energies are so low, UCN preferentially populate the lower region of their physical enclosure, and do not sample uniformly the ambient magnetic field throughout the storage volume. This leads to a substantial increase in the rate of depolarization, as well as to shifts in the measured frequency of the stored neutrons. Consequences for EDM measurements are discussed.

description: The objectives of the present work are twofold. The first is to address and resolve some of the differences present in independent, chiral-effective-field-theory (\chiEFT) derivations up to one loop, recently appeared in the literature, of the nuclear charge and current operators. The second objective is to provide a complete set of \chiEFT predictions for the structure functions and tensor polarization of the deuteron, for the charge and magnetic form factors of 3He and 3H, and for the charge and magnetic radii of these few-nucleon systems. The calculations use wave functions derived from high-order chiral two- and three-nucleon potentials and Monte Carlo methods to evaluate the relevant matrix elements. Predictions based on conventional potentials in combination with \chiEFT charge and current operators are also presented. There is excellent agreement between theory and experiment for all these observables for momentum transfers up to q< 2.0-2.5 (1/fm); for a subset of them, this agreement extends to momentum transfers as high as q~5-6 (1/fm). A complete analysis of the results is provided.

description: On the basis of Eilenberger theory, we study the vortex state when a magnetic field is applied nearly parallel to the ab plane in a chiral p-wave superconductor with a large anisotropy ratio of ab and c, as in Sr2RuO4. We quantitatively estimate the field dependence of the pair potential, magnetization, and flux line lattice form factor, and study the transition from the chiral p_- state at low fields to the nonchiral p_y state at high fields. Even for exactly parallel fields to the ab plane, transverse fields exist in the chiral state. The chiral-nonchiral transition disappears when the magnetic field orientation is tilted within 1 degree from the ab plane. This may be a reason why the experimental detection of this transition is difficult.

description: We show that the established physics of spin valves together with the recently discovered giant spin-Hall effect could be used to construct Read and Write units that can be integrated into a single spin switch with input-output isolation, gain and fan-out similar to CMOS inverters, but with the information stored in nanomagnets making it non-volatile. Such spin switches could be interconnected, with no external amplification, just with passive circuit elements, to perform logic operations. Moreover, since the digitization and storage occurs naturally in the magnets, the voltages can be used to implement analog weighting for non-Boolean logic.

Black men's support for gender equality: the role of racial identity
Creators: name: Jones, Steven Jermaine Saint Aubin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Gender inequality is a sustained problem in the United States. Although women are nearly half of the labor force, they are unfairly compensated in wages and under- represented in political and business leadership. Black women fare even worse than their White counterparts. Gender equality depends on male allies because men are more often in positions of power with decision making authority. What predicts men’s support for gender equality? Masculine identity and endorsement of sexism are key negative predictors for White men. Results for Black men have been mixed, indicating support for gender equality, but also strong endorsement of masculinity. My dissertation proposes and tests two models of Black men’s support for gender equality (BMSGE). The first model of the BMSGE (Figure 1) predicts that Black men’s masculine [racial] identity is positively [negatively] related to their endorsement of sexism, and sexism mediates the links between social identities and support for gender equality. The second alternative model of the BMSGE (Figure 2.) proposes that masculine identity and racial centrality interact to predict endorsement of sexism which, in turn, predicts Black men’s support for gender equality. Specifically, masculine identity should inform sexism only for Black men low (not high) on racial centrality, while sexism should mediate the relationship between masculine identity and support for gender equality. The results of Study 1 supported both models of the BMSGE. While in Study 2, results only supported the first model of the BMSGE (Figure 1). In concert, the research highlights the importance of racial identity when predicting Black men’s support for gender equality.
Predator-prey interactions of zooplankton from a shallow endorheic lake: Little Fish Lake, Nevada
Creators: name: Hampton, Stephanie Elise
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: The zooplankton community of Little Fish Lake exists in a seasonally and interannually variable physical environment. This shallow endorheic lake is particularly sensitive to climatic variability; depth and salinity fluctuate during periods of prolonged evaporation or precipitation. I examined zooplankton seasonal succession in Little Fish Lake during a period of relatively low salinity from March 1995 through March 1996. The community was more diverse during my study than it had been in periods of high salinity. While abiotic conditions probably affected the community structure, biotic interactions such as predation likely influenced succession as well. I observed interactions between the predaceous rotifer Asplanchna silvestrii and six potential prey species with which it co-occurs. Since A. silvestrii occurs in three morphologically and behaviorally distinct morphotypes, I assessed the vulnerability of prey with each predator morphotype. Predator morphotype and prey type both significantly affected the outcome of each predation event. These predator-prey interactions are particularly interesting because all the species commonly occur in alkaline, saline lakes where biotic interactions may be relatively simple due to the scarcity of organisms that can tolerate the unusual chemical conditions.
Potential Importance of Binary Evolution in UV-Optical Spectral Fitting of Early-Type Galaxies

description: Binaries are very common in galaxies, and more than half of Galactic hot subdwarf stars, which are thought as a possible origin of UV-upturn of old stellar populations, are found in binaries. Previous works showed that binary evolution can make the spectra of binary star populations significantly different from those of single star populations. However, the effect of binary evolution has not been taken into account in most works of spectral fitting of galaxies. This paper studies the role of binary evolution in spectral fitting of early-type galaxies, via a stellar population synthesis model including both single and binary star populations. Spectra from ultraviolet to optical band are fitted to determine a few parameters of galaxies. The results show that the inclusion of binaries in stellar population models may lead to obvious change in the determination of some galaxy parameters and therefore it is potentially important for spectral studies. In particular, the ages of young components of composite stellar populations become much older when using binary star population models instead of single star population models. This implies that binary star population models will measure significantly different star formation histories (SFHs) for galaxies compared to single star population models. In addition, stellar population models with binary interactions measure larger dust extinctions than single star population models on average. It suggests that when using binary star population models instead of single star population models, negative extinctions are possibly unnecessary in spectral fitting of early-type galaxies.

Optimal Var compensation on a utility transmission system
Creators: name: Harshbarger, Douglas Earl
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: This paper presents a method for realizing power loss and reactive power flow reductions on an electrical power transmission system. The method determines the size and location of reactive power compensating capacitors. In the first phase, candidate busses (nodes) are identified by determining which substations are physically able to accommodate new capacitor and associated switching apparatus. Phase two employs an iterative search technique, the Western System Coordinating Council (WSCC) power flow program and heuristic inputs to choose the single buss most sensitive to real power loss reduction. Reactive power loss reduction and reactive power intertie flow are secondary factors also used to determine capacitor locations. Once the bus is chosen, the system is modeled with a 24 MVAR capacitor, the utilities' minimum desired size, in service on the chosen bus. The iterative search and capacitor placement steps are subsequently repeated until either reactive power flow on the interties are reduced to zero or system voltages exceed minimum or maximum standards. In the event voltage standards are violated, intertie transformer tap settings are adjusted and the iterative search continues. This method is applied to a 3,577 circuit-mile transmission system and a 10,000 circuit-mile feeder system operating at 69KV, 138KV, and 230KV with peak load of 3,590.91MW and 364.15 MVAR. Placement of capacitors as suggested in this study would result in real power loss reduction of 3.82 MW and intertie reactive power flow reduction of 430 MVAR at peak load conditions.

description: The Bijagós Archipelago hosts large populations of migratory shorebird species, which spend the non-breeding period of their annual cycle in this area. For this reason, it as caught the interest of ecologists and ornithologists studying these birds. Benthic macroinvertebrates, despite being a major factor in hosting such large concentrations of their predators, have not received as much attention. Although a few studies have been conducted in the Bijagós Archipelago regarding macrozoobenthos, no identification keys, field guides or even species lists have been published. Following the global declines in shorebird populations worldwide, and particularly the decreasing numbers of shorebirds in the Bijagos, MAVA Foundation funded a consortium of academic, NGOs and governmental institutions to develop the project “Waders of the Bijagos - Securing the ecological integrity of the Bijagós Archipelago as a key site for waders along the East Atlantic Flyway”. The project aims at improving knowledge on wintering shorebird ecology and their trophic interactions, while supporting conservation efforts towards these species in the archipelago. Within this framework it became apparent that the knowledge gap on macrozoobenthic invertebrates, particularly on the lack of accessible information, was a potential limiting factor for several ecological studies, and this publication is therefore aimed at filling this gap. Although we expect that publishing this catalogue will promote further ecological studies in the Bijagos, it should be noted that this document is by no means a complete listing of all macrozoobenthos in the archipelago and that it was also produced by and for shorebird researchers, therefore being limited in its scope and capacity to provide the needed information for extensive species identification; in fact some taxa are only described here at a higher level.

General broadcasting algorithms in one-port wormhole routed hypercubes
Creators: name: Lee, Myung Hoon
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: Wormhole routing has been accepted as an efficient switching mechanism in point-to-point interconnection networks. Here the network resource, i.e. node buffers and communication channels, are effectively utilized to deliver message across the network; We consider the problem of broadcasting a message in the hypercue equipped with the wormhole switching mechanism. The model is a generalization of an earlier work and considers a broadcast path-length of {dollar}m\ (1\leq m\leq n{dollar}) in the n-cube with a single-port communication capability. In this thesis, the scheme of e-cube and a Gray code path routing and intermediate reception capability have been adopted in order to solve the problem of broadcasting in one-port wormhole routed hypercubes. Two methods have been suggested; one is based on utilizing the Gray codes (Gray code path-based routing), while the other is based on the recursive partitioning of the cube (cube-based routing). The number of routing steps in both methods are compared to those in the previous results, as well as to the lower bounds derived based on the path-length m assumption. A cube-based and a path-based algorithm give {dollar}T(R)+(k\sb{c}+1)T(m){dollar} and {dollar}k\sb{G} +T(m){dollar} routing steps, respectively. By comparison with routing steps of both algorithms, the performance of the path-based algorithm shows better than that of the cube-based; The results of this work are significant and can be used for immediate implementation in contemporary machines most of which are equipped with wormhole routing and serial communication capability.

We show that the voltage-biased system has a rich phase diagram in the system size and voltage plane, with second- and first-order transitions between the domain and homogeneous states for small and large voltages, respectively. We find the residual negative dissipative resistance in the stable domain state.

Development of fluoroimmunoassays for the determination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
Creators: name: Kohl, Steven Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: The focus of this project was to develop fluorescence-based immunoassays for the determination of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Three formats using polyclonal anti-2,4-D sera were developed, the first being a homogeneous, competitive assay based on the principle of fluorescence energy transfer. This assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 100 ppb to 100 ppm; The next two formats are heterogeneous, competitive assays that were developed using a prototype KinExA{dollar}\rm\sp{TM}{dollar} immunoanalyzer. The assay formats use either antibody or antigen coated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) beads as a renewable solid phase. The KinExA{dollar}\rm\sp{TM}{dollar} assay was demonstrated in buffered saline solution as well as in aquatic environmental media, and exhibited a linear dynamic range of 2 ppb to 20 ppm. The antibodies showed a degree of cross-reactivity with compounds of closely related structure to 2,4-D, but little cross-reactivity with structurally dissimilar compounds. The KinExA{dollar}\rm\sp{TM}{dollar} methods are rapid (10 minutes per sample), simple, and potentially portable.
FOOD TRADE AND STANDARDS IN THE SPS AGREEMENT: NECESSITY AND LEGITIMACY IN A COOPERATION FRAME

Year: 2020

description: Global efforts for trade liberalization faced, since the late 1970s, the phenomenon of non-tariff barriers to trade. Nowadays they represent the most relevant stumbling block to free trade. In the area of sanitary and phytosanitary measures, States? efforts to address this issue at the international level brought, in 1994, to the adoption of the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary measures (SPS Agreement), within the framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Against this background, the thesis analyses SPS Agreement provisions devoted to standards, namely harmonization, the SPS Committee and those related to private standards. Moreover, as the SPS Agreement does not contain any international standards, and the power to develop international standards is explicitly delegated to the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), even the activities of such international body are investigated. The research questions addressed are the following: how and to what extent international standards are binding according to the SPS Agreement? (Chapter I). Which is the role of States, the SPS Committee, Panels and the Appellate Body and, in particular, which is the relationship between the CAC and the WTO? (Chapter II). Which are the possibilities and the criticisms when paving the way for private actors in the domain of food safety? (Chapter III).

description: Single molecule tracking in live cells is the ultimate tool to study subcellular protein dynamics, but it is often limited by the probe size and photostability. Due to these issues, long-term tracking of proteins in confined and crowded environments, such as intracellular spaces, remains challenging. We have developed a novel optical probe consisting of 5-nm gold nanoparticles functionalized with a small fragment of camelid antibodies that recognize widely used GFPs with a very high affinity, which we call GFP-nanobodies. These small gold nanoparticles can be detected and tracked using photothermal imaging for arbitrarily long periods of time. Surface and intracellular GFP-proteins were effectively labeled even in very crowded environments such as adhesion sites and cytoskeletal structures both in vitro and in live cell cultures. These nanobody-coated gold nanoparticles are probes with unparalleled capabilities; small size, perfect photostability, high specificity, and versatility afforded by combination with the vast existing library of GFP-tagged proteins.
Universal Property of Quantum Gravity implied by Bekenstein-Hawking Entropy and Boltzmann formula

description: We search for a universal property of quantum gravity. By "universal", we mean the independence from any existing model of quantum gravity (such as the super string theory, loop quantum gravity, causal dynamical triangulation, and so on). To do so, we try to put the basis of our discussion on theories established by some experiments. Thus, we focus our attention on thermodynamical and statistical-mechanical basis of the black hole thermodynamics: Let us assume that the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is given by the Boltzmann formula applied to the underlying theory of quantum gravity. Under this assumption, the conditions justifying Boltzmann formula together with uniqueness of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy imply a reasonable universal property of quantum gravity. The universal property indicates a repulsive gravity at Planck length scale, otherwise stationary black holes can not be regarded as thermal equilibrium states of gravity. Further, in semi-classical level, we discuss a possible correction of Einstein equation which generates repulsive gravity at Planck length scale.

description: The elastic and inelastic collision rates in a gluon gas are calculated. The symmetry factor and the phase space integral are discussed in detail. With a symmetry factor and well constrained phase space, the same result can be obtained as that of the full phase space without the factor. Such an equivalence is illustrated by analytic and numerical calculations for $gg \rightarrow gg$ and $gg\rightarrow ggg$ processes.

Determination of frictional losses for fiberglass ducts
Creators: name: Jackovich, Alexander Jeffrey
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: Determination of Frictional Losses for Fiberglass Ducts describes the design of an orifice plate measurement system for the testing and determination of frictional losses due to air flow in fiberglass ducts. The basis for the design came from ASHRAE standard 120P, "Methods of Testing to Determine Flow Resistance of HVAC Air Ducts and Fittings". This thesis also details a process of calibration for the orifice plate measurement system. Five different fiberglass duct materials were tested for frictional losses and a process was constructed for creating charts to determine frictional losses in various duct sizes and using various flow rate for each material. The friction loss charts that were created are contained with this thesis.

Determination of fifty-six elements in three distinct types of geological materials by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry
Creators: name: Guo, Caixia
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: This study evaluated results obtained from two routinely used sample preparation methods: microwave digestion and lithium fusion. Three different microwave digestion procedures and a lithium metaborate fusion method were examined. Forty trace elements in addition to 16 rare earth elements were determined in three distinct rock types and one standard reference material by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Lithium fusion resulted in excellent recovery of rare earth and some trace elements including Be, V, Sr, U, Hf, Nb and Ta, but the some elements Pb, Cr, Zn were lost. Two of the microwave digestion procedures produced similar results and proved suitable for the determination of most elements in different rock types. In addition, this study examined the potential interferences of the suspected major components (Si, Cl, Sr, Fe and Ba) of the rock on minor elements and the interferences of the light rare earth elements oxides on the heavy rare earth elements. The chemical compositions of three rock types (Volcanic, carbonate and shale) collected from the Nevada Test Site, the Fossil Ridge and Frenchman Mountain were compared. Since the rock type may determine the chemical composition of the associated groundwater, the water collected from springs thought to flow from carbonate, volcanic and shale aquifers were compared with each of the three whole rock chemical compositions.

Programme for International Student Assessment

description: This graduate seminar provides students with a comprehensive curriculum on international large-scale assessments (ILSAs), including OECD-PISA and IEA-TIMSS. The seminar includes three complementing sections. The first section of the course is focused on the methodology behind global and regional projects. Here, we will discuss limitations and ways to further develop sampling methods, instruments and measurements. The second section is dedicated to the history of international assessments and to conditions that facilitated their emergence and diffusion. The third section is focused on critical analysis of the ways in which scholars, media, and policy makers use data from international assessments. The seminar will consist of short lectures accompanied by class discussions and exercises based on careful reading of the assigned materials. Students are expected to read all the materials identified for the session before each class, participate actively in the discussion, and complete all written assignments.
The coincidence problem in $f(R)$ gravity models

description: To explore possibilities of avoiding coincidence problem in $f(R)$ gravity we consider models in Einstein conformal frame which are equivalent to Einstein gravity with a minimally coupled scalar field. As the conformal factor determines the coupling term and hence the interaction between matter and dark energy, the function $f(R)$ can in principle be determined by choosing an appropriate function for the deceleration parameter only. Possible behavior of $f(R)$ to avoid coincidence problem are investigated in two such cases.

Microcanonical ensembles of systems with mechanical constraints

description: We have obtained an exact expression for the phase-space volume corresponding to a microcanonical ensemble of systems under center of mass, total linear and angular momenta conservation constraints, and arbitrary constraints on the coordinates of particles of the system. Methods are suggested to calculate the phase-space volume and density of states from the mean kinetic energy and mean inverse kinetic energy. Methods to control equilibrium in simulations are also presented. We have derived exact formulae for several thermodynamic response functions. It is shown how to obtain the phase-space volume corresponding to other ensembles when one or several of the constraints are removed. It is shown that the phase-space volume of a system at positive values of the energy is a polynomial function of the energy if the potential energy of interaction between particles of the system consists of a hard-core potential and an arbitrary negative potential. We have also shown that the coefficients of the polynomial function can be determined from simulations.

Marital adjustment across the transition to parenthood: The role of communication and personality
Creators: name: Larson, Brandon Mathew
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1996

description: Past research on the transition to parenthood has consistently found that this life phase results in many changes in a couple's marital relationship, specifically declines in couples' marital adjustment. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between constructive communication, personality traits, and spouses' marital adjustment during the transition to parenthood; Participants were 70 married couples expecting their first child. Self-report measures were administered to all participants during the third trimester of pregnancy, three months postpartum, and nine months postpartum; Results showed that marital adjustment significantly declined during the transition to parenthood. Constructive communication consistently correlated significantly with marital adjustment but was not a good predictor of changes in marital adjustment. Husbands' neuroticism, conscientiousness, and agreeableness consistently correlated significantly with both husbands' and wives' marital adjustment, but only agreeableness was a consistent predictor of changes in marital adjustment across the transition to parenthood. No support was found for the hypothesis that constructive communication mediates the relationship between personality and marital adjustment.

description: Das vom Schweizerischen Nationalfonds unterstützte Projekt FEMAR (formatives Feedback zum mathematischen Argumentieren) untersuchte den Einfluss von Feedbackdialogen zwischen Lehrpersonen und Schüler*innen der 5. und 6. Klasse auf die schülerseitigen Kompetenzen beim mathematischen Argumentieren. Das Design enthielt eine 10-wöchige Intervention mit Aufgaben zum Argumentieren (Hess et al., 2020) und methodische Zugänge über Fragebögen für 71 Lehrpersonen und 1261 Schüler*innen, Leistungstests zum mathematischen Argumentieren vor und nach der Intervention, Interviews mit Lehrpersonen sowie Videoanalysen, u.a. mit einem literaturbasierten Rating der Feedbackdialoge. Die folgende Mixed Methods-Studie (MMS; Schoonenboom & Johnson, 2017) beabsichtigt, markante quantitative Unterschiede qualitativ auszuleuchten. Es werden Lehrpersonen-Interviews mit (i) auffällig tief und hoch eingeschätzten Dialogqualitäten und mit (ii) markant gesteigerten Klassenleistungen analysiert (vgl. Abb. 1). Wir stellen folgende Fragen: Wie erklären die Interviewaussagen unterschiedlich fremdeingeschätzte Dialogqualitäten? – Welche Haltungen und fachdidaktischen Überlegungen spiegeln sich in unterschiedlichen Qualitäten von Feedbackdialogen? – Wie erklären die Interviewaussagen auffällig starke Leistungssteigerungen?
Semi-numeric simulations of helium reionization and the fluctuating radiation background

description: Recent He II Lyman-alpha forest observations from 2.0 < z < 3.2 show large fluctuations in the optical depth at z > 2.7. These results point to a fluctuating He-ionizing background, which may be due to the end of helium reionization of this era. We present a fast, semi-numeric procedure to approximate detailed cosmological simulations. We compute the distribution of dark matter halos, ionization state of helium, and density field at z = 3 in broad agreement with recent simulations. Given our speed and flexibility, we investigate a range of ionizing source and active quasar prescriptions. Spanning a large area of parameter space, we find order-of-magnitude fluctuations in the He II ionization rate in the post-reionization regime. During reionization, the fluctuations are even stronger and develop a bimodal distribution, in contrast to semi-analytic models and the hydrogen equivalent. These distributions indicate a low-level ionizing background even at significant He II fractions.
