description: The recent revision of OECD inhalation toxicology test guidelines 412 and 413 presents new challenges for both the study director (SD) and quality assurance (QA) personnel when conducting GLP (good laboratory practice) studies. In the case of nanomaterial inhalation exposure studies, GLP has rarely been applied, yet the new revisions are applicable to soluble and insoluble nanomaterials, as well as conventional chemicals. For example, the new guidelines require an additional bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid assay and lung burden measurement during the post-exposure observation (PEO) period, plus nanomaterial physicochemical characterization before and after nano-aerosol generation when exposing experimental animals. Implementing these revised guidelines will prove especially challenging for QA measures related to the physicochemical characterization and aerosolization of test nanomaterials. Therefore, this review examines the key elements involved in nanomaterial inhalation GLP testing under the revised OECD guidelines, suggests an alternative to the increased animal numbers, in consideration of animal welfare and with scientific merits, and discusses the limitation of toxicokinetic estimation using the new testing guidelines.

description: Divorced individuals face complex situations when they have children with different ex-partners, or even more, when their new partners have children of their own. In such cases, and when kids spend every other weekend with each parent, a practical problem emerges: Is it possible to have such a custody arrangement that every couple has either all of the kids together or no kids at all? We show that in general, it is not possible, but that the number of couples that do can be maximized. The problem turns out to be equivalent to finding the ground state of a spin glass system, which is known to be equivalent to what is called a weighted max-cut problem in graph theory, and hence it is NP-Complete.

The colonies in life are large white crusts 0.5 to 1cm thick (Fig. 26). The surface layer is smooth, thin and devoid of spicules. The zooids are withdrawn and included in complete capsules of plate-like spicules densely packed in the translucent tunic, giving a white colour to the fixed colonies. Below the capsule layer the tunic contains sparse brown pigment cells. Removed from the tunic the tips of the siphons are light brown but the remaining body wall is clear. The male gonad is a rosette of about 10 lobes and the sperm duct is straight. The ovary and testes are not mature in a same zooid but both sexes can be found in a same colony. The ovary includes a large protruding oocyte and several smaller ones. No fully developed tadpoles have been found but several regressed ones are present in the deepest part of the colonies; they are transparent bodies in which the otolith and ocellus remain but not any other organ. They are not included in capsules.

Second Language Gesture and Acculturation in Study Abroad Contexts
Creators: name: Gardner, Christie Marie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Motivationis an integral part of learning; Gestures are an important aspect of human communication, and culture plays a significant role in shaping all of these human elements. This study explores the relationship betweensocial, cultural-historical activityand second language(L2) gesture acquisitionas student motivations both drive, and emanate from, the L2 learning process. Six American students participating in a study-abroad program in Chile were evaluated at three different levels of L2 proficiency (beginning, intermediate, and advanced) for L2 gesture articulations and motivational developments. During the semester-long investigation, three audio-video recorded interviews were conducted to observe L2 gestural behaviors, and two e-mail logs were collected to supplement research evaluations of student motivations and activity.
Results from the study's observations indicated that L2 proficiency level did not relate to student motivations, L2 gesture acquisition, or activity with any justifiable support. However, overall findings did reveal a relationship between L2 gesture acquisition and cultural activity, withanxietyandlearner agencyfound to mediate this relationship. Specifically, students who were found to produce the most L2 gesture forms were those who reported having the most frequentnative speaker interactions--a cultural activity that was both pursued and internalized differently as individual learner agency and anxiety influenced student goals. Implications of this investigation maintain that psycholinguistic investigations of L2 learning and development can benefit from the acknowledgment of gesture as a fundamental component of communication as it aids in the illustration ofsecond language developmentas an emerging process.
Rapid Formation of Saturn after Jupiter Completion

description: We have investigated Saturn's core formation at a radial pressure maximum in a protoplanetary disk, which is created by gap opening by Jupiter. A core formed via planetesimal accretion induces the fragmentation of surrounding planetesimals, which generally inhibits further growth of the core by removal of the resulting fragments due to radial drift caused by gas drag. However, the emergence of the pressure maximum halts the drift of the fragments, while their orbital eccentricities and inclinations are efficiently damped by gas drag. As a result, the core of Saturn rapidly grows via accretion of the fragments near the pressure maximum. We have found that in the minimum-mass solar nebula, kilometer sized planetesimals can produce a core exceeding 10 Earth masses within two million years. Since Jupiter may not have undergone significant type II inward migration, it is likely that Jupiter's formation was completed when the local disk mass has already decayed to a value comparable to or less than Jovian mass. The expected rapid growth of Saturn's core on a timescale comparable to or shorter than observationally inferred disk lifetime enables Saturn to acquire the current amount of envelope gas before the disk gas is completely depleted. The high heat energy release rate onto the core surface due to the rapid accretion of the fragments delays onset of runaway gas accretion until the core mass becomes somewhat larger than that of Jupiter, which is consistent with the estimate based on interior modeling. Therefore, the rapid formation of Saturn induced by gap opening of Jupiter can account for the formation of multiple gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) without significant inward migration and larger core mass of Saturn than that of Jupiter.

description: We present a new comprehensive model of the physics of galaxy formation designed for large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of structure formation using the moving mesh code AREPO. Our model includes primordial and metal line cooling with self-shielding corrections, stellar evolution and feedback processes, gas recycling, chemical enrichment, a novel subgrid model for the metal loading of outflows, black hole (BH) seeding, BH growth and merging procedures, quasar- and radio-mode feedback, and a prescription for radiative electro-magnetic (EM) feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN). The metal mass loading of outflows can be adjusted independently of the wind mass loading. This is required to simultaneously reproduce the stellar mass content of low mass haloes and their gas oxygen abundances. Radiative EM AGN feedback is implemented assuming an average spectral energy distribution and a luminosity-dependent scaling of obscuration effects. This form of feedback suppresses star formation more efficiently than continuous thermal quasar-mode feedback alone, but is less efficient than mechanical radio-mode feedback in regulating star formation in massive haloes. We contrast simulation predictions for different variants of our galaxy formation model with key observations. Our best match model reproduces, among other things, the cosmic star formation history, the stellar mass function, the stellar mass - halo mass relation, g-, r-, i-, z-band SDSS galaxy luminosity functions, and the Tully-Fisher relation. We can achieve this success only if we invoke very strong forms of stellar and AGN feedback such that star formation is adequately reduced in both low and high mass systems. In particular, the strength of radio-mode feedback needs to be increased significantly compared to previous studies to suppress efficient cooling in massive, metal-enriched haloes.

Moreover, some diagrams relating the new groups to the ordinary K-groups with coefficients are constructed. These diagrams will in most cases help to determine the new groups, and will in a companion paper be used to prove a universal multi-coefficient theorem for the one distinguished ideal case for a large class of algebras.

description: In this paper, we consider the Universe at the late stage of its evolution and deep inside the cell of uniformity. At these scales, the Universe is filled with inhomogeneously distributed discrete structures (galaxies, groups and clusters of galaxies). Supposing that the Universe contains also the cosmological constant and a perfect fluid with a negative constant equation of state (EoS) parameter $ω$ (e.g., quintessence, phantom or frustrated network of topological defects), we investigate scalar perturbations of the FRW metrics due to inhomogeneities. Our analysis shows that, to be compatible with the theory of scalar perturbations, this perfect fluid, first, should be clustered and, second, should have the equation of state parameter $ω=-1/3$. In particular, this value corresponds to the frustrated network of cosmic strings. Therefore, the frustrated network of domain walls with $ω=-2/3$ is ruled out. A perfect fluid with $ω=-1/3$ neither accelerates nor decelerates the Universe. We also obtain the equation for the nonrelativistic gravitational potential created by a system of inhomogeneities. Due to the perfect fluid with $ω= -1/3$, the physically reasonable solutions take place for flat, open and closed Universes. This perfect fluid is concentrated around the inhomogeneities and results in screening of the gravitational potential.

Estimating wildfire potential on a Mojave Desert landscape using remote sensing and field sampling
Creators: name: Van Linn, Peter F.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Landscape level wildfire prediction can be used to allocate wildfire resources and guide land management practices. Wildfire prediction in arid habitats in the Southwestern United States is of specific concern because of the negative ecological impacts of fire on desert habitats and the current lack of accurate fire prediction tools for such areas. This study examines the ability to predict previous fire occurrences and estimate future fire potential using satellite imagery and on the ground field survey techniques along with ignition potential data (lightning strikes and distance to roads), topographical data (elevation and aspect), and climate information (maximum and minimum temperatures). The satellite data was used to create a suite of potential fuel load models that were then evaluated for the best fit models using AIC model selection. The best fit fuel load model (Fuel Load Model 1) was then used in conjunction with 2005 remote sensing and fire occurrence data to predict fire potential for that year. Fuel load Model 1 along with spring Fuel Moisture Content (FMC), lightning strikes, distance to roads, and perennial vegetation type were modeled and a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the agreement between model predictions and actual fire occurrence. The ROC evaluation rendered an Area Under the Curve (AUC) value of 0.90 indicating accurate prediction of fire occurrence for 2005. This study provides evidence that remote sensing techniques can be used in combination with field surveys to accurately predict wildfire potential in Mojave Desert habitats.
Planning for building-integrated agriculture in Las Vegas

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: High food prices, concern about food nutrition and safety, and an awareness of commercial farming's environmental impact have generated a renewed interest in sustainable urban agriculture. Advances in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) have made it possible to grow food virtually anywhere in a much more sustainable manner than traditional field-based agriculture. Locating and planning urban farms using retrofitted existing building stock to maximize food production and ease of distribution in Las Vegas requires consideration of multiple barriers related to geography, economics, and the built environment. Consideration of these factors in the planning process informs the design of a successful BIA facility.The site selection process for urban agriculture projects is critical to the project's long term sustainability, while the site's adaptation requirements directly influence start-up costs. Detailed analysis of the factors in these stages can therefore yield valuable initial viability and feasibility information. This thesis presents a planning strategy specifically for selecting an appropriate site and designing for building-integrated agriculture (BIA). First, a list of critical factors for a successful urban agriculture project is developed from the material discussed in the literature review and case studies. Next, a detailed site selection and analysis process is developed to provide insight into the adaptations needed to turn an underutilized building into a functional urban farm using new BIA technologies. The strategy is then applied to a chosen site in Las Vegas.
The developed planning process can be used as an assessment framework by potential investors, developers, entrepreneurial urban farmers, and others for planning and implementing a productive Las Vegas urban farm using existing building stock. The architect can use the developed strategy to inform the planning design phase and ensure a well-integrated and feasible project.

 Stations. TA 52 (MNHN A3 DIS 104). TA 60 (MNHN A3 DIS 103).
Three colonies, one with a short peduncle and two others sessile, the largest 15mm in diameter, have kept their orange colour in formalin. The consistency of the tunic is spongy, the pigment is limited to the upper part of the colonies. The zooids form circular systems. They are small and contracted, colourless. The atrial languet is large and wide. The 4 rows of stigmata lack parastigmatic vessels. The gut loop is wide with a short stomach asymmetrical and longitudinally folded. A well marked annular widening takes place between the stomach and the intestine. The gonads hang below the abdomen (Fig. 27 B). The testis has 5 to 6 vesicles in a rosette; the sperm duct (Fig. 27 B) begins with a deep loop directed posteriorly to encircle the single oocyte before running upwards to the gut loop. No larvae are present in these small colonies.
 The genus Distaplia as opposed to Sycozoa is defined as having parastigmatic vessels in the branchial sac and this is not the case here. Kott (1990) mentioned that the parastigmatic vessels are sometimes missing in D. stylifera which has a very constant anatomy around the world.
 D. stylifera is recorded in many places in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, in the Red Sea, but for the first time here in the western Indian Ocean.

The Effect of self-controlled practice on forearm passing, motivation, and affect in women's volleyball players
Creators: name: Rydberg, Nels
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Motor learning research has suggested that self-controlled practice (or "autonomy") leads to more effective learning of motor tasks. Debate continues, however, as to why. Most motor behaviorists maintain the better learning is due to cognitive and information-processing factors. Recently, others have proposed the learning enhancement is due to such psychological factors as motivation and affect. The present study sought to measure motor skill learning, intrinsic motivation, and affect in self-controlled versus externally-controlled (yoked) practice conditions.
Participants, 16 collegiate women's volleyball student-athletes from two National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I programs, were paired by forearm passing skill level, and one of each pair was randomly placed in either the self-control or yoked group. The self-control participants were asked to design their own forearm passing drill during the practice phase of the experiment. The yoked participants followed the design established by the self-control participant to whom they were yoked. Each of the participants' forearm passing accuracy was measured in a free ball passing drill consisting of a pre-test and practice phase on Day 1, and a post-test on Day 2. Their intrinsic motivation was measured using the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), and their positive and negative affect was measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Scale  Expanded Edition (PANAS-X). The IMI and PANAS-X were administered in a baseline condition (after a team practice one week prior to participation in the study) at the end of Day 1, and the end of Day 2.
Analysis of the data revealed no statistically significant differences between groups in either forearm passing, intrinsic motivation, or affect. Further research is needed to determine if intrinsic motivation and affect are partially responsible for the learning benefits of self-controlled practice.

description: We aim at determining the masses of Cepheids in binary systems, as well as their geometric distances and the flux contribution of the companions. The combination of interferometry with spectroscopy will offer a unique and independent estimate of the Cepheid masses. Using long-baseline interferometry at visible and infrared wavelengths, it is possible to spatially resolve binary systems containing a Cepheid down to milliarcsecond separations. Based on the resulting visual orbit and radial velocities, we can then derive the fundamental parameters of these systems, particularly the masses of the components and the geometric distance. We therefore performed interferometric observations of the first-overtone mode Cepheid V1334 Cyg with the CHARA/MIRC combiner. We report the first detection of a Cepheid companion using long-baseline interferometry. We detect the signature of a companion orbiting V1334 Cyg at two epochs. We measure a flux ratio between the companion and the Cepheid f = 3.10+/-0.08%, giving an apparent magnitude mH = 8.47+/-0.15mag. The combination of interferometric and spectroscopic data have enabled the unique determination of the orbital elements: P = 1938.6+/-1.2 days, Tp = 2 443 616.1+/-7.3, a = 8.54+/-0.51mas, i = 124.7+/-1.8°, e = 0.190+/-0.013, ω = 228.7+/-1.6°, and Ω = 206.3+/-9.4°. We derive a minimal distance d ~ 691 pc, a minimum mass for both stars of 3.6 Msol, with a spectral type earlier than B5.5V for the companion star. Our measured flux ratio suggests that radial velocity detection of the companion using spectroscopy is within reach, and would provide an orbital parallax and model-free masses.

Both colonies are thin sheets made of flat close zooids included in a very resistant tunic, one of them settled on a piece of coral the other on a sponge. The colour has disappeared in alcohol. The siphons are well apart. The body wall is thin and transparent. The internal side of the oral siphon has papillae. 18 to 20 oral tentacles are regularly distributed in 2 orders of size. The dorsal tubercle is in a deep V of the peripharyngeal band. The branchial sac has 4 folds on each side with 6 to 8 longitudinal vessels. The gut is short. The stomach has a small caecum and 8 folds. The gonads are numerous, distributed in 2 longitudinal lines in a ventral position. Each polycarp is made of 2 testis lobes applied against the body wall and covered by the round ovary. Numerous endocarps are scattered on the body wall.
The species distribution comprises the Red Sea, Djibouti, Mozambique and now the south of Madagascar.

description: X-band microwave spectroscopy is applied to study the cyclotron resonance in Bi2Te3 exposed to ambient conditions. With its help, intraband transitions between Landau levels of relativistic fermions are observed. The Fermi velocity equals to 3260 m/s, which is much lower than has been reported in the literature for samples cleaved in vacuum. Simultaneous observation of bulk Shubnikov - de Haas oscillations by contactless microwave spectroscopy allows determination of the Fermi level position. Occupation of topological surface states depends not only on bulk Fermi level but also on the surface band bending.

"What's in a name?": Heteroglossia and History in Native Alaskan Names
Creators: name: Hannahs, Shannon
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: This thesis examines Native Alaskan personal names and naming practices and how these names are being used to index cultural identity in Anchorage, Alaska. In order to do this, I follow Mikhail Bakhtin's theory of heteroglossia (1981), which states all words are populated with meaning from all of the contexts in which they have been used in the past. Native Alaskan personal names should be considered heteroglossic based on the Yup'ik/Cup'ik and Inupiaq beliefs that personal names are a type of soul that carries with it the characteristics of a person who uses it. When that person dies, the name-soul detaches from their body, taking with it the individual's personality characteristics to be passed on to the next person who will carry the name. Native Alaskan personal names are, therefore, imbued with the history of all their previous uses and contexts. Because my use of heteroglossia depends on the historical uses of names, the colonial history of the Native Alaskan groups must also be taken into consideration. In addition to illustrating how Native Alaskans use their personal names to index cultural identity, the results and discussion will also show how these names reflect different boundaries Native Alaskans face while living in an urban area: between life and death; between past and present; between young and old; and between native and non-native ways of life.

description: We have built a Sinai cube to illustrate and investigate the scaling properties that result by iterating chaotic trajectories into a well ordered system. We allow red, green and blue light to reflect off a mirrored sphere, which is contained in an otherwise, closed mirrored cube. The resulting images are modeled by ray tracing procedures and both sets of images undergo fractal analysis. We offer this as a novel demonstration of fractal geometry, utilizing the aesthetic appeal of these images to motivate an intuitive understanding of the resulting scaling plots and associated fractal dimensions.

description: We describe the conceptual design of the camera cryostats, detectors, and detector readout electronics for the SuMIRe Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) being developed for the Subaru telescope. The SuMIRe PFS will consist of four identical spectrographs, each receiving 600 fibers from a 2400 fiber robotic positioner at the prime focus. Each spectrograph will have three channels covering wavelength ranges 3800 Å - 6700 Å, 6500 Å - 10000 Å, and 9700 Å - 13000 Å, with the dispersed light being imaged in each channel by a f/1.10 vacuum Schmidt camera. In the blue and red channels a pair of Hamamatsu 2K x 4K edge-buttable CCDs with 15 um pixels are used to form a 4K x 4K array. For the IR channel, the new Teledyne 4K x 4K, 15 um pixel, mercury-cadmium-telluride sensor with substrate removed for short-wavelength response and a 1.7 um cutoff will be used. Identical detector geometry and a nearly identical optical design allow for a common cryostat design with the only notable difference being the need for a cold radiation shield in the IR camera to mitigate thermal background. This paper describes the details of the cryostat design and cooling scheme, relevant thermal considerations and analysis, and discusses the detectors and detector readout electronics.
