Causes and Impacts of Geotechnical Problems on Bridge and Road Construction Projects
Creators: name: Neupane, Krishna Prasad
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Changes during the construction phase generate cost growth, schedule delays, and claims in any project. However, the impact of geotechnical problems on construction costs, schedules, and claims in bridge and road projects had not been investigated in depth. The major objectives of this study were to determine the geotechnical-related causes of cost and schedule growth and claims as well as their impacts on the bridge and pavement projects' performance. This study also identifies mitigation measures to avoid cost and schedule growth and claims in these projects.
A survey was conducted with 53 engineers from state Department of Transportations (DOTs) and 43 engineers from design consultant firms. It was found that the geotechnical-related causes that most impacted the costs, schedules, and claims of bridge projects were lack of boring locations and misclassified subgrade. The majority of the respondents stated that these geotechnical-related causes had negative impacts on cost and schedule growth and the number of claims for bridge projects during construction. When asked about pavement projects, the respondents stated that the significant problems to impact the cost and schedule growth and claims were misclassified subgrade and a level of groundwater table higher than expected. The results regarding the impact of these geotechnical-related causes on project performance were similar to those of bridge projects. The survey results also showed three major preventive measures to reduce these cost overruns, schedule growth, change orders, and claims were: the designer having detailed knowledge about the project site's geotechnical information, a detailed site investigation with a well-experienced consultant, and the development and implementation of minimum standards for subsurface investigation and site characterization.

description: An improved estimator for the amplitude fnl of local-type non-Gaussianity from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) bispectrum is discussed. The standard estimator is constructed to be optimal in the zero-signal (i.e., Gaussian) limit. When applied to CMB maps which have a detectable level of non-Gaussianity the standard estimator is no longer optimal, possibly limiting the sensitivity of future observations to a non-Gaussian signal. Previous studies have proposed an improved estimator by using a realization-dependent normalization. Under the approximations of a flat sky and a vanishingly thin last-scattering surface, these studies showed that the variance of this improved estimator can be significantly smaller than the variance of the standard estimator when applied to non-Gaussian CMB maps. Here this technique is generalized to the full sky and to include the full radiation transfer function, yielding expressions for the improved estimator that can be directly applied to CMB maps. The ability of this estimator to reduce the variance as compared to the standard estimator in the face of a significant non-Gaussian signal is re-assessed using the full CMB transfer function. As a result of the late time integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect, the performance of the improved estimator is degraded. If CMB maps are first cleaned of the late-time ISW effect using a tracer of foreground structure, such as a galaxy survey or a measurement of CMB weak lensing, the new estimator does remove a majority of the excess variance, allowing a higher significance detection of fnl.

description: A transition state for a Hamiltonian system is a closed, invariant, oriented, codimension-2 submanifold of an energy-level that can be spanned by two compact codimension-1 surfaces of unidirectional flux whose union, called a dividing surface, locally separates the energy-level into two components and has no local recrossings. For this to happen robustly to all smooth perturbations, the transition state must be normally hyperbolic. The dividing surface then has locally minimal geometric flux through it, giving an upper bound on the rate of transport in either direction. Transition states diffeomorphic to $\mathbb S^{2m-3}$ are known to exist for energies just above any index-1 critical point of a Hamiltonian of $m$ degrees of freedom, with dividing surfaces $\mathbb S^{2m-2}$. The question addressed here is what qualitative changes in the transition state, and consequently the dividing surface, may occur as the energy or other parameters are varied? We find that there is a class of systems for which the transition state becomes singular and then regains normal hyperbolicity with a change in diffeomorphism class. These are Morse bifurcations. Various examples are considered. Firstly, some simple examples in which transition states connect or disconnect, and the dividing surface may become a torus or other. Then, we show how sequences of Morse bifurcations producing various interesting forms of transition state and dividing surface are present in reacting systems, by considering a hypothetical class of bimolecular reactions in gas phase.

Canovas Canyon Rhyolites, Jemez Volcanic Field, New Mexico: Discrete Source Magmas, or a Potential Caldera Forming Magma System?
Creators: name: Padmore, Penelope Marie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: The Jemez volcanic field (JVF), New Mexico, is a caldera-forming volcanic field located at the junction of the Rio Grande Rift and the Jemez Lineament. The JVF is one of three large North American caldera-forming systems, including Long Valley, California and Yellowstone Plateau volcanic field, Wyoming, which have been active during the Quaternary. Because portions of the JVF are unusually well preserved, it offers a rare opportunity to study how such systems develop. Insight into the history of caldera-forming systems will contribute to the understanding of their potential future behavior. In the case of Yellowstone and Long Valley, that insight could contribute to more accurate prediction of the future activity of these two potentially active systems. This research focuses on the nature of the Canovas Canyon Rhyolite (CCR). These domes and flows were the product of the first significant rhyolitic volcanism in the JVF, beginning about 13 Ma (Gardner, et al., 1986). Timing of the eruptions; over a ~4 Ma time period, as well as the areal extent (more than 50 km2), make it unlikely that the CCR was produced by one long lived magma system.
Models which describe the formation of silicic caldera-forming systems can be broadly grouped into two categories: A. Those which postulate large, thermally stable, long lived magma bodies which develop chemical and thermal gradients, such as the model developed by Hildreth, (1981) and Halliday, et al., (1989); B. Models in which silicic volcanism is produced by smaller, individual batches of melt (Huppert and Sparks, 1988b). In the second type of model, caldera-forming magma chambers are ephemeral and only occur in the last stage of development of the system, prior to the culminating eruption.
Major and trace element geochemistry trends rule out any of the sampled units having been produced by the same magma system. Nd, Sr, and Pb isotope ratios indicate that the CCR are products of fractional crystallization of associated basalts, with up to 50% crustal assimilation. The CCR best fits model B; a rhyolite produced in small, ephemeral, independent magma systems.

description: In this thesis, we study the traveling waves in a Lazer-McKenna suspension bridge system which is governed by two coupled nonlinear beam and wave equations. The Lazer-McKenna suspension bridge system describes the vertical deflections in the roadbed and supporting cable of a suspension bridge. Based on some basic analysis on the system, we are able to compute traveling waves numerically by using MAPLE. Multiple large-amplitude traveling waves are obtained. The graphs of various traveling waves are displayed and discussed.

Re-evaluation of Acceptance Testing Criteria for Structural Masonry Using the Prism Test Method
Creators: name: Bristow, James
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: The current acceptance criteria for structural masonry in accordance with International Building Code allows for the prism test method to be used. However, without a proper understanding of the effects of variable material properties such as individual masonry unit compressive strength and the various material moduli of elasticity, as well as the effect of field conditions on the unit's performance, masonry prisms may "fail" to reach the design compressive strength (f'm).
By identifying causes of failure and evaluating the failure magnitude, it is concluded that when the masonry prism test method is utilized for acceptance testing of as-built masonry structures, additional testing should be performed on the grout in order to fully understand the influence that grout strength and possible grout deformation on the concrete masonry unit during the uniaxial compression test. If grout and block characteristics indicate it is appropriate, some combination of the unit test method and the prism test method may be appropriate to provide a determining reliability of test result implications. Alternatively, a complete re-evaluation of the prism test method and its applicability to acceptance criteria for structural masonry may be appropriate.

Implementation and Analysis of Communication Protocols in Internet of Things
Creators: name: Thota, Priyanka
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Internet of Things (IoT) is the future of all the present-day devices around the globe. Giving them internet connectivity makes IoT the next frontier of technology. Possibilities are limitless as the devices communicate and interact with each other which make it even more interesting for the global markets. For example, Rolls-Royce announced that it would use the Microsoft Azure IoT suite and also the Intelligence suite of Cortana to keep track of the fuel usage, for performance analysis, to optimize the fly routes etc. which improves the airline efficiency. The devices must communicate with each other, the data from these devices must be collected by the servers, and the data is then analyzed or provided to the people. For all this to happen, there is a need for efficient protocols to ensure that the communication is secure and to avoid loss of data. This research is about the implementation and analysis of various protocols that can be used for the communication in IoT. Various protocols with various capabilities are required for different environments. The internet today supports hundreds of protocols from which choosing the best would be a great challenge. But each protocol is different in its own way when we have the specifics like security, reliability, range of communication etc. This research emphasizes on the best available protocols and the environments that suit them the most. It provides an implementation of some of the protocols and analyzes the protocols according to the results obtained. The data collected from the sensors/devices through a protocol is also subject to predictive analysis which improves the scope of the project to performing data analysis on the data collected through IoT.
Design, Fabrication and Testing of a Capacitive Sensor Using Delta-Sigma Modulation
Creators: name: Tsagkari, Charikleia
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Capacitive sensing is a popular technology employed in billions of products and millions of applications. This Thesis details the design, layout and characterization of an Integrated Circuit (IC) that employs Delta-Sigma Modulation (DSM) for sensing capacitance. The chip, measuring 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm, was designed in On Semiconductor's C5 process and was manufactured by MOSIS.
The sensing circuit links linearly the ratio of a "test" to a "reference" capacitance to the output of a Delta-Sigma Modulator. The equations that describe the operation of the sensing circuit are derived. Besides the sensing circuit, there is a non-overlapping clock generator that provides the necessary clock signals for the circuit's operation. There is also some peripheral circuitry that translates the digital output of the sensing circuit to an 8-bit binary number that can be used to calculate "test" capacitance and is immune to power supply voltage variations. The chip can sense any capacitance with an error as little as 0.07 % for some values in the pico-Farad and nano-Farad range by adjusting the reference capacitor and the input clock signal (30 kHz and 30 Hz respectively). The circuit operates on a nominal power supply voltage of 5 V and the maximum power dissipation of the entire circuit is 750 _W.
The chip is also used for two applications, water level sensing and soil moisture content measurement. The capacitive sensor used for these applications is made on PCB and its capacitance is linearly related to water level and moisture content.

description: The Coma cluster is one of the nearest galaxy clusters, and the first one in which a radio halo and a peripheral relic were discovered. While its halo and the central parts of the intracluster medium have been studied extensively, X-ray observations of the plasma near its relic have been scarce. Here, we present results from a re-analysis of a 22-ks archival XMM-Newton observation. Across the relic, we detect a shock of Mach number about 2. This excludes the previously suggested hypothesis that the relic was formed by turbulence. Furthermore, multiwavelenth observations and numerical models do not support the scenario in which the shock at the Coma relic is an outgoing cluster-merger shock. Instead, our results lend support to the idea that the relic coincides with an infall shock front formed just as the NGC 4839 group falls onto the cluster along a cosmic filament.

description: In a chain of mutually coupled oscillators, the coupling threshold for synchronization between the outermost identical oscillators decreases when a type of impurity (in terms of parameter mismatch) is introduced in the inner oscillator(s). The outer oscillators interact indirectly via dynamic relaying, mediated by the inner oscillator(s). We confirm this enhancing of critical coupling in the chaotic regimes of Rössler system in absence of coupling delay and in Mackey-Glass system with delay coupling. The enhancing effect is experimentally verified in electronic circuit of Rössler oscillators.

description: Given a numerical semigroup S = and n in S, we consider the factorization n = c_0 a_0 + c_1 a_1 + ... + c_t a_t where c_i >= 0. Such a factorization is maximal if c_0 + c_1 + ... + c_t is a maximum over all such factorizations of n. We provide an algorithm for computing the maximum number of maximal factorizations possible for an element in S, which is called the maximal denumerant of S. We also consider various cases that have connections to the Cohen-Macualay and Gorenstein properties of associated graded rings for which this algorithm simplifies.

Post-Occupancy Energy Efficiency Evaluation of a LEED Platinum Federal Government Facility
Creators: name: Tincher, Theresa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification system and its relevance to Federal policies, building codes, and building standards, develop experience with whole building energy modeling, and determine the actual post-occupancy energy usage as compared with developed model and design projections. This thesis hypothesized the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED rating system compared favorably to other policies, codes, and standards in use at the time, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamations' LEED Platinum Lower Colorado Regional Office Green Building (LCROGB), located in Boulder City, Nevada, operated at least as energy efficiently as designed. Both hypotheses were shown to be true.
Based on the design and development requirements for the 49,818 square foot LCROGB being studied, the primary building requirements addressed were the U.S. Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007, and the LEED V2009 certification system for new construction. LEED V2009 certification requirements compared favorably by either meeting or exceeding other stated requirements.
The whole building energy simulation, QUick Energy Simulation Tool (eQUEST) Version 3.65, was used for the study, and baseline and proposed models were developed. The eQUEST results compared favorably with the designer's simulations developed using the Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) Version 4.5. eQUEST predicted a 32.7% savings in overall energy usage, compared to the HAP 38.9% prediction.
In 2013, the LCROGB used 600,042 kWh of energy, and 60% was electrical and 40% was natural gas. This usage demonstrated high building efficiency with an Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of 41.1 kBtu/sf/yr. Following more than two years of post-occupancy operation, the LCROGB was electrically more efficient than predicted by either HAP or eQUEST, although the facility was using considerably more natural gas than predicted by the simulations. The facility design and implementation met or exceeded energy efficiency requirements established by the reviewed policies and standards.
The three objectives of the study were met. Through the literature review, study of the LEED V2009 certification system and relevant policies and standards, whole building energy model development, and analysis of a LEED Platinum facility, it was shown that earning the maximum available LEED energy efficiency points significantly contributed to the overall building efficiency of the LCROGB. With the close proximity of the facility studied and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, several follow-on studies were recommended to further optimize building efficiency.

description: On the example of two-phase continua experiencing stress induced solid-fluid phase transitions we explore the use of the Euler structure in the formulation of the governing equations. The Euler structure guarantees that solutions of the time evolution equations possessing it are compatible with mechanics and with thermodynamics. The former compatibility means that the equations are local conservation laws of the Godunov type and the latter compatibility means that the entropy does not decrease during the time evolution. In numerical illustrations, in which the one-dimensional Riemann problem is explored, we require that the Euler structure is also preserved in the discretization.

description: Extracellular HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1) is considered as a damage-associated molecular pattern protein. However, little is known about its intracellular role. We studied the mechanism whereby intestinal epithelial HMGB1 contributes to host defense, using cell culture, colonoids, conditional intestinal epithelial HMGB1-knockout mice with Salmonella-colitis, il10-/- mice, and human samples. We report that intestinal HMGB1 is an important contributor to host protection from inflammation and infection. We identified a physical interaction between HMGB1 and STAT3. Lacking intestinal epithelial HMGB1 led to redistribution of STAT3 and activation of STAT3 post bacterial infection. Indeed, Salmonella-infected HMGB1-deficient cells exhibited less macroautophagy/autophagy due to decreased expression of autophagy proteins and transcriptional repression by activated STAT3. Then, increased p-STAT3 and extranuclear STAT3 reduced autophagic responses and increased inflammation. STAT3 inhibition restored autophagic responses and reduced bacterial invasion in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, low level of HMGB1 was correlated with reduced nuclear STAT3 and enhanced p-STAT3 in inflamed intestine of il10-/- mice and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. We revealed that colonic epithelial HMGB1 was directly involved in the suppression of STAT3 activation and the protection of intestine from bacterial infection and injury.

Co-Emulation of Scan-Chain Based Designs Utilizing SCE-MI Infrastructure
Creators: name: Tomas, Bill Jason Pidlaoan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Simulation times of complex System-on-Chips (SoC) have grown exponentially as designs reach the multi-million ASIC gate range. Verification teams have adopted emulation as a prominent methodology, incorporating high-level testbenches and FPGA/ASIC hardware for system-level testing (SLT). In addition to SLT, emulation enables software teams to incorporate software applications with cycle-accurate hardware early on in the design cycle. The Standard for Co-Emulation Modeling Interface (SCE-MI) developed by the Accelera Initiative, is a widely used communication protocol for emulation which has been accepted by major electronic design automation (EDA) companies.
Scan-chain is a design-for-test (DFT) methodology used for testing digital circuits. To allow more controllability and observability of the system, design registers are transformed into scan registers, allowing verification teams to shift in test vectors and observe the behavior of combinatorial logic. As SoC complexity increases, thousands of registers can be used in a design, which makes it difficult to implement full-scan testing. More so, as the complexity of the scan algorithm is dependent on the number of design registers, large SoC scan designs can no longer be verified in RTL simulation unless portioned into smaller sub-blocks. To complete a full scan cycle in RTL simulation for large system-level designs, it may take hours, days, or even weeks depending on the complexity of the circuit.
This thesis proposes a methodology to decrease scan-chain verification time utilizing SCE-MI protocol and an FPGA-based emulation platform. A high-level (SystemC) testbench and FPGA synthesizable hardware transactor models are developed for the ISCAS89 S400 benchmark circuit for high-speed communication between the CPU workstation and FPGA emulator. The emulation results are compared to other verification methodologies, and found to be 82% faster than regular RTL simulation. In addition, the emulation runs in the MHz speed
range, allowing the incorporation of software applications, drivers, and operating systems, as opposed to the Hz range in RTL simulation.

description: We report high precision transit photometry of GJ1214b in JHKs bands taken simultaneously with the SIRIUS camera on the IRSF 1.4m telescope at Sutherland, South Africa. Our MCMC analyses show that the observed planet-to-star radius ratios in JHKs bands are R_{\rm p}/R_{\rm s,J} = 0.11833 \pm 0.00077, R_{\rm p}/R_{\rm s,H} = 0.11522 \pm 0.00079, R_{\rm p}/R_{\rm s,Ks} = 0.11459 \pm 0.00099, respectively. The radius ratios are well consistent with the previous studies by Bean et al. (2011) within 1σ, while our result in Ks band is shallower than and inconsistent at 4σ level with the previous measurements in the same band by Croll et al. (2011). We have no good explanation for this discrepancy at this point. Our overall results support a flat transmission spectrum in the observed bands, which can be explained by a water-dominated atmosphere or an atmosphere with extensive high-altitude clouds or haze. To solve the discrepancy of the radius ratios and to discriminate a definitive atmosphere model for GJ1214b in the future, further transit observations around Ks band would be especially important.

description: Diffeomorphisms preserve spacetime singularities, whereas higher spin symmetries need not. Since three dimensional de Sitter space has quotients that have big-bang/big-crunch singularities and since dS_3-gravity can be written as an SL(2,C) Chern-Simons theory, we investigate SL(3,C) Chern-Simons theory as a higher-spin context in which these singularities might get resolved. As in the case of higher spin black holes in AdS_3, the solutions are invariantly characterized by their holonomies. We show that the dS_3 quotient singularity can be de-singularized by an SL(3,C) gauge transformation that preserves the holonomy: this is a higher spin resolution the cosmological singularity. Our work deals exclusively with the bulk theory, and is independent of the subtleties involved in defining a CFT_2 dual to dS_3 in the sense of dS/CFT.

Recent improvements in data documentation and online dissemination in the Generations and Gender Survey

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: This paper presents the improvements made in the new round of Generations and Gender Survey (GGS; https://www.ggp-i.org/) data collection (since 2020). The GGS is a cross-national longitudinal survey (Europe and beyond) that provides data on a variety of topics including partnerships, fertility, work-life balance, transition to adulthood and later life. The first round of GGS was based on post hoc data harmonization and metadata complied with the DDI-Codebook standard. However, data documentation was time demanding and online data dissemination had some limitations. To improve the quality and efficiency of the data documentation and dissemination, we have implemented new procedures that partially automate the documentation process. The transition to Colectica software has allowed for the automatic detection and documentation of country-specific deviations from the standard GGS questionnaire, which has improved the effectiveness of our documentation process. Further, because this software is compliant with DDI-Lifecycle, we are able to better document methodological and conceptual issues of comparability across countries and waves. The new GGP Colectica Portal aims at being compliant with open science principals, including implementation of CESSDA controlled vocabularies and being harvested by other online data portals. This paper describes the new GGS data documentation procedure and the expected future developments.
Marketing of Gender Stereotypes through Animated Films: A Thematic Analysis of the Disney Princess Franchise
Creators: name: Pelton, Tiffany Jade
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: The thesis focuses on animated films of the Disney Princess franchise, a brand with the Disney Corporation that contains 11 fictional female characters both princesses and heroines, and the marketing of gender roles and stereotypes specifically in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Cinderella (1950), The Princess and the Frog (2009), and Tangled (2010). These dated storylines, which often focused on domestic traits that were socially acceptable in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, in current society do not always reflect the interests of contemporary youth. Through a thematic analysis, this thesis examines from its inception to present day what principles, specifically gender roles and stereotypes, Disney is marketing through its brand. Analyzing the themes identify patterns and assessed if the storylines of later releases aligned with the values of contemporary society or if they more closely parallel the ideals of the dated classics.

Estimate of convection-diffusion coefficients from modulated perturbative experiments as an inverse problem

description: The estimate of coefficients of the Convection-Diffusion Equation (CDE) from experimental measurements belongs in the category of inverse problems, which are known to come with issues of ill-conditioning or singularity. Here we concentrate on a particular class that can be reduced to a linear algebraic problem, with explicit solution. Ill-conditioning of the problem corresponds to the vanishing of one eigenvalue of the matrix to be inverted. The comparison with algorithms based upon matching experimental data against numerical integration of the CDE sheds light on the accuracy of the parameter estimation procedures, and suggests a path for a more precise assessment of the profiles and of the related uncertainty. Several instances of the implementation of the algorithm to real data are presented.

Parametrization of the angular correlation and degree of linear polarization in two-photon decays of hydrogen-like ions

description: The two-photon decay in hydrogen-like ions is investigated within the framework of second order perturbation theory and Dirac's relativistic equation. Special attention is paid to the angular correlation of the emitted photons as well as to the degree of linear polarization of one of the two photons, if the second is just observed under given angles. Expressions for the angular correlation and the degree of linear polarization are expanded in terms of $\cosθ$-polynomials, whose coefficients depend on the atomic number and the energy sharing of the emitted photons. The effects of including higher (electric and magnetic) multipoles upon the emitted photon pairs beyond the electric-dipole approximation are also discussed. Calculations of the coefficients are performed for the transitions $2s_{1/2}\rightarrow1s_{1/2}$, $3d_{3/2}\rightarrow1s_{1/2}$ and $3d_{5/2}\rightarrow1s_{1/2}$, along the entire hydrogen isoelectronic sequence ($1\le Z \le 100$).
