title: Globalized Garment Systems: Theories on the Rana Plaza Disaster and Possible Localist Responses
Creators: name: Evans, Elizabeth A.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2016

description:
Since 2005, more than 1,300 people in Bangladesh – the majority women – have died, while producing apparel for Western, especially United States, markets. Today, the US imports 97.5 percent of its apparel, mostly from developing countries such as Bangladesh. However, such import reliance was not always so. By examining past and present garment systems in the United States, my thesis seeks to address injustice in globalized garment systems, and suggest new directions for the future. The Rana Plaza factory collapse disaster thus is presented as a case study of injustice in globalized garment systems. In this thesis, I hypothesize that globalized garment systems stand to benefit from a critical examination using a lens of localism. Drawing from local foods research as an example of academic and cultural convergence towards improved justice, I identify critical themes from localism in foods, and apply them to globalized garment systems.

description: We report the structural and magnetic properties of a new class of cobaltates with the chemical formula (BaSr)4-xLa2xCo4O15 (x = 0, 0.5 and 1). These compounds crystallize in a hexagonal structure in which cobalt ions are distributed among two distinct crystallographic sites with different oxygen coordination. Three Co-O tetrahedra and one octahedron are linked by shared oxygen atoms to form Co4O15 clusters, which are packed together into a honeycomb-like network. Partial substitution of Sr and/or Ba atoms by La allows one to adjust the degree of Co valence mixing, but all compositions remain subject to a random distribution of charge. Magnetic susceptibility together with neutron scattering measurements reveal that all studied specimens are characterized by competing ferro- and antiferro-magnetic exchange interactions that give rise to a three dimensional Heisenberg spin-glass state. Neutron spectroscopy shows a clear trend of slowing down of spin-dynamics upon increasing La concentration, suggesting a reduction in charge randomness in the doped samples.

description: Relay networks aid in increasing the rate of communication from source to destination. However, the capacity of even a three-terminal relay channel is an open problem. In this work, we propose a new lower bound for the capacity of the three-terminal relay channel with destination-to-source feedback in the presence of correlated noise. Our lower bound improves on the existing bounds in the literature. We then extend our lower bound to general relay network configurations using an arbitrary number of filter-and-forward relay nodes. Such network configurations are common in many multi-hop communication systems where the intermediate nodes can only perform minimal processing due to limited computational power. Simulation results show that significant improvements in the achievable rate can be obtained through our approach. We next derive a coding strategy (optimized using post processed signal-to-noise ratio as a criterion) for the three-terminal relay channel with noisy channel output feedback for two transmissions. This coding scheme can be used in conjunction with open-loop codes for applications like automatic repeat request (ARQ) or hybrid-ARQ.

Examining the Effects of Casino Lottery Promotions
Creators: name: Colin Magaña, Maria
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Casinos employ marketing and promotional activities to attract and retain customers within the competitive industry. Promotions awarding players thousands of dollars are not uncommon. To capitalize on this investment, the success of these promotional activities is crucial. The effectiveness of casino promotions has been scarcely examined within research. Only a few studies have directly examined the impact of casino lottery promotions (Lucas & Bowen, 2002; Lucas et al., 2006; Suh et al., 2014). Literature on promotional games can be used to fill the gap in knowledge regarding casino lottery promotions and to provide a starting point for future research. This study examines the existing literature on promotional games and provides suggestions for future studies on casino lottery promotions' effectiveness by proposing research hypotheses.

The Radionuclide Concentration In Dust Collected At The Nellis Dunes Recreational Area
Creators: name: Bensen, Mathew John
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Dust Samples were collected from three different location at the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area, each being of a different soil type. These samples were sieved to different particles sizes and then analyzed using a high-purity germanium gamma well detector. The isotopes found in each sample were: Pb-214, Th-231, Pb-212, Cs-137, and K-40. The activities for these isotopes ranged from: 8.36 * 10-7 µCi/g to 3.11 * 10 -6 ?Ci/g, 2.53 * 10-7 µCi/g to 9.98 * 10-7 µCi/g, 2.17 * 10-7 µCi/g to 2.51 * 10-7 µCi/g, 7.41 * 10-8 µCi/g to 4.22 * 10-7 µCi/g, and 7.38 * 10-6 µCi/g to 3.74 * 10-5 µCi/g receptivity. Based on this study and supported by several others, there does appear to be a correlation between not only particle size and radionuclide concentration, but also soil type and radionuclide concentration. Moreover, a lung dose model was created and conservative estimates were performed to calculate a dose for breathing a year's worth of dust at the Nellis Dunes Recreation Area. The highest possible dose was calculated out to be .0684 rem, which is lower than the NRC's annual limit to the general public. Finally, the levels of the Cs-137 were compared to several other locations around the world and the quantities were found to be consistent with global fallout. This means that the proximity that the NDRA has to the Nevada National Security Site does have any noticeable effect on it.

description: The Kepler spacecraft has collected data of high photometric precision and cadence almost continuously since operations began on 2009 May 2. Primarily designed to detect planetary transits and asteroseismological signals from solar-like stars, Kepler has provided high quality data for many areas of investigation. Unconditioned simple aperture time-series photometry are however affected by systematic structure. Examples of these systematics are differential velocity aberration, thermal gradients across the spacecraft, and pointing variations. While exhibiting some impact on Kepler's primary science, these systematics can critically handicap potentially ground-breaking scientific gains in other astrophysical areas, especially over long timescales greater than 10 days. As the data archive grows to provide light curves for $10^5$ stars of many years in length, Kepler will only fulfill its broad potential for stellar astrophysics if these systematics are understood and mitigated. Post-launch developments in the Kepler archive, data reduction pipeline and open source data analysis software have occurred to remove or reduce systematic artifacts. This paper provides a conceptual primer for users of the Kepler data archive to understand and recognize systematic artifacts within light curves and some methods for their removal. Specific examples of artifact mitigation are provided using data available within the archive. Through the methods defined here, the Kepler community will find a road map to maximizing the quality and employment of the Kepler legacy archive.

A Content Analysis of Gender-Specific Media Coverage of Sport: NCAA Athletic Department Home Webpages
Creators: name: Malik, Margo R.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Studies have found that media coverage of women's sports is inadequate when compared with coverage of men's sports. The results of these studies have revealed inadequacies in terms of amount of coverage as well as type of coverage. Findings demonstrate that there is a certain way media frame female athletes when they are covered. Female athletes are often portrayed in overly sexualized images, as feminine role models, as passive rather than active, and in sports that are considered gender-appropriate. These types of portrayals can perpetuate gender bias and stereotypes, undermine the true athletic ability of female athletes, and give the audience the idea that male athletes are more important than female athletes.
Past research, with few exceptions, has found inequitable coverage of female and male athletes in every media type studied, from print and television to the Internet. Some exceptions to the common findings include not-for-profit media, such as the NCAA News, and Internet-based publications. The current study combined the two aforementioned media types to determine if athletic departments that are affiliated with the NCAA offer more balanced coverage of female and male athletes on their official websites than has been found in past research.
The results revealed that although the type of coverage the athletes received was similar, the amount was not. Females were underrepresented in articles and photographs on NCAA athletic department home webpages. The fact that the webpages analyzed by the current content analysis represent a more modern media type at not-for-profit, NCAA-affiliated institutions, did not lead to the overall balance in coverage that was originally expected.

description: Basing on experimental data on irradiation-induced deformation of graphite we introduced a concept of diffuse domain structure developed in reactor graphite produced by extrusion. Such domains are considered as random continuous deviations of local graphite texture from the global one. We elucidate the origin of domain structure and estimate the size and the degree of orientational ordering of its domains. Using this concept we explain the well known radiation-induced size effect observed in reactor graphite. We also propose a method for converting the experimental data on shape-change of finite-size samples to bulk graphite. This method gives a more accurate evaluation of corresponding data used in estimations of reactor graphite components lifetime under irradiation.

BSR-T7/5 cells were co-transfected with a minigenome plasmid pTVT-LGT, helper plasmids pCI-NP, pCI-P, pCI-L and pCI-M or pCI-M/NLSm. Antigenomic, positive-sense minigenome RNA (gRNA[+]) was transcribed from the minigenomic plasmid by T7 RNA polymerase. In the presence of NP, P and L, gRNA(+) acted as a template for the transcription of genomic RNA (gRNA[-]), which generated GFP reporter gene mRNA and more gRNA(+).

Multi-wavelength study of triggered star formation around mid-infrared bubble N14

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

description: We present multi-wavelength analysis around mid-infrared bubble N14 to probe the signature of triggered star formation as well as the formation of new massive star(s) and/or cluster(s) on the borders of the bubble by the expansion of the H II region. Spitzer-IRAC ratio maps reveal that the bubble is traced by the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission following an almost circular morphology except in the south-west direction towards the low molecular density environment. The observational signatures of the collected molecular and cold dust material have been found around the bubble. We have detected 418 YSOs in the selected region around the bubble N14. Interestingly, the detected YSO clusters are associated with the collected molecular and cold dust material on the borders of the bubble. One of the clusters is found with deeply embedded intermediate mass and massive Class I YSOs associated with one of the dense dust clumps in the east of the bubble N14. We do not find a good agreement between the dynamical age of the H II region and the fragmentation time of the accumulated molecular materials to explain possible "collect-and-collapse" process around the bubble N14. Therefore, we suggest the possibility of triggered star formation by compression of the pre-existing dense clumps by the shock wave and/or small scale Jeans gravitational instabilities in the collected materials. We have also investigated 5 young massive embedded protostars (8 to 10 M_sun) and 15 intermediate mass (3 to 7 M_sun) Class I YSOs which are associated with the dust and molecular fragmented clumps at the borders of the bubble. We conclude that the expansion of the H II region is also leading to the formation of these intermediate and massive Class I YSOs around the bubble N14.

The Effect of Gluten on Puberty Onset and Glycemic Response in Female Rats
Creators: name: Mclaughlin, Bethaney
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Introduction: While individuals with gluten sensitivities are instructed to follow a strict gluten-free diet, misinformed concerns over the consumption of gluten products has led to a rise in gluten avoidance diets, without a diagnosis of celiac disease. Gluten-free products, and therefore the diet as a whole, have been found to have twice as much fat, reduced carbohydrates and fiber, and approximately one-third less protein (Miranda 2014). Research on the effects of gluten-free diets on adolescent development is lacking. With recorded nutrient deficiencies in those that abstain from gluten, detrimental effects could be seen in adolescents who are put on non-prescribed gluten- free diets. Body mass is one factor in puberty onset, and may occur earlier in individuals consuming a gluten-free diet, from lower quality ingredients used in gluten-free products.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of gluten on weight gain, body composition, glycemic response, and puberty onset in newly weaned female rats, hypothesizing that gluten restriction causes a faster increase in body fat, triggering an earlier onset of puberty. Also, that gluten-restriction causes a higher increase in blood glucose than gluten- containing food.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley female weaned rats (n=20), age 23 days, were randomly separated into two groups, and fed either a gluten-free chow or a normal chow diet. Animals were housed separately at the UNLV LACF in a 12-hour light/dark cycle room; water was provided ad libitum. Food intake, body weight and blood glucose were recorded daily for two weeks. Blood was collected from a tail clip, and glucose was measured using a Bayer Contour glucose meter and test strips. Rats were checked daily for vaginal opening starting on the 25th day of life. After vaginal opening was confirmed, rats were euthanized and body composition was measured by a DXA scan. Results: Vaginal opening in the gluten-free group occurred earlier than in the control group (30 ± 2 vs 31 ± 2 days for gluten-free vs control respectively, p=0.01). Percent body fat was increased in the gluten-free group compared with controls (13.8 ± 0.39 vs 10.4 ± 0.72, p=0.015), however, weight gain (86 ± 2 vs 84 ± 3 g), food intake (236 ± 30 vs 215 ± 24 g), and daily blood glucose (83 - 86 mg/dL vs 80 mg/dL - 85 mg/dL for gluten-free and control respectively) were not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion: Vaginal opening, and hence onset of puberty, occurred sooner in rats fed the gluten-free diet. Percent body fat was higher in the gluten-free group, consistent with the suggestion that increased body fat plays a role in the decreasing age of menarche in adolescent females. These results reinforce the importance of diet and how it can affect growth and maturation.

description: We examine localization of light in nonlinear (Kerr) kagome lattices in the shape of narrow strips of varying width. For the narrowest ribbon, the band structure features a flat band leading to linear dynamical trapping of an initially localized excitation. We also find a geometry-induced bistability of the nonlinear modes as the width of the strip is changed. A crossover from one to two dimensions localization behavior is observed as the width is increased, attaining two-dimensional behavior for relatively narrow ribbons.

In this study, a non-extensive statistical physics approach is examined for anthropogenic high-frequency seismic noise in view of COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures and the consequent changes in human activity levels. A continuous monitoring of the entropic index q performed during a time
 period which includes a time interval of normal social activity and a period of anthropogenic quiescence due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures, enabled us to observe a dependance between the human activity levels and the degree of non-extensivity in the seismic signal. Average values of pre-lockdown q parameters estimated within the urban environment of the cities of Athens and Thessaloniki (Greece), were equal to 1.37 and 1.56, respectively, while the respective post-lockdown q values were found to be 1.25 and 1.49. In overall, the estimated q parameters could support the conclusion that the anthropogenic seismic noise is sub-extensive. Lower values of q during the lockdown period reflect a lower degree of interacting subsystems and degree of correlations in the high-frequency seismic noise wavefield. A short-term examination on a week scale of the temporal behavior of
 parameter q, revealed significant patterns of daily periodicity and diurnal variations resembling the diurnal cycle of human activities. According to the preliminary observations of this study, the non-extensive parameter q is shown to be a rather promising tool regarding the quantitative strategies for monitoring the effect of the anthropogenic activity levels in seismic data.

description: The Hanani--Tutte theorem is a classical result proved for the first time in the 1930s that characterizes planar graphs as graphs that admit a drawing in the plane in which every pair of edges not sharing a vertex cross an even number of times. We generalize this result to clustered graphs with two disjoint clusters, and show that a straightforward extension to flat clustered graphs with three or more disjoint clusters is not possible. For general clustered graphs we show a variant of the Hanani--Tutte theorem in the case when each cluster induces a connected subgraph. Di Battista and Frati proved that clustered planarity of embedded clustered graphs whose every face is incident with at most five vertices can be tested in polynomial time. We give a new and short proof of this result, using the matroid intersection algorithm.

Water Harvesting Methods and the Built Environment: The Role of Architecture in Providing Water Security

description: Two prototype thermoelectric atmospheric water generator (AWG) devices were constructed and evaluated for their performance in collecting water. The devices consisted of two Peltier thermoelectric cooling (TEC) modules connected to a heat sink and a condensing surface. The TEC/heat sink assembly was anchored to an air-well constructed of extruded polystyrene and 3D-printed frames, and a fan was installed to draw in surrounding air. The condensing surfaces were either copper or aluminum and featured a surface area larger than the cold side of the TEC.
The performance of aluminum and copper surfaces were compared by measuring condensate collected after a test period of 5 hours (300 minutes). Relative humidity, ambient temperature and dew-point temperature were recorded at 15 minute intervals. Tests were conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada and Oceanside, CA. Oceanside featured a much higher average relative humidity than Las Vegas (65.3%) and overall, the average condensation collected was higher than condensation collected in Las Vegas, 11.8 mL versus 0.4 mL. Aluminum performed the best, with average condensate of 5.9 mL, suggesting thermal conductivity is not an essential measure of performance. The highest observed condensate collected was 26.9 mL in Oceanside, CA with a 68.4 in2 aluminum surface. T-tests were utilized to compare mean values between datasets to determine significance. Comparisons suggest that in arid environments air inside the air well is significantly colder than ambient temperature (~2°F), however there is no significant difference in humidity.
Regression analysis was performed on the data to characterize the relationship between environmental variables. The highest R2 values were associated with relative humidity and the ratio of sensible heat to latent heat. Calculations suggest that large numbers of these devices could generate a large amount of water on-site. The applications to architectural systems are discussed along with the significance in reducing water
consumption in buildings.

ambient seismic noise

description: The recently discovered coronavirus (COVID-19) first broke out in China in December 2019 and since then the virus has rapidly spread around the world causing thousands of deaths. The World Health Organization has declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. Greece, aiming to prevent the spread of the virus, imposed public health scenarios, including restrictive measures on the movement of people. The implementation of the measures concluded to a nationwide lockdown in March 23th 2020. Human activity is considered as one of the principal sources of seismic noise energy for frequencies above 1Hz (human-induced seismic noise). The suspension of economic, cultural and numerous everyday-life activities, due to the “lockdown”, resulted in a significant and unprecedented reduction of the background noise levels, as this latter is continuously being monitored by the Hellenic Unified Seismological Network. In this study, we provide evidence of the effect of lockdown measures on seismic noise levels from different cities in Greece. The initiation of the lockdown measures caused a reduction of the noise levels, especially within urban environments. The magnitude of the observed variations largely depends on factors, such as the environment type (urban, suburban) or the proximity of the seismic stations to main roads, schools, public facilities. The observed noise levels are compared with those that are usually observed during public or summer holidays in Greece. The effect of the lockdown on the detection of small magnitude earthquakes by city-based seismometers is also discussed. Since COVID-19 pandemic triggered restrictions on movement throughout the whole planet, “lockdown-induced” seismic noise reduction was upgraded to a global scale phenomenon. The observations of this study include evidence that permanent seismic stations, especially within urban environments, can be used as an efficient monitoring tool for non-seismic activities, highlighting the potential development of a new branch of seismology, that of Social Seismology.

Investigating How Restaurant Week's Price Promotion Affects Diners' Online Perceptions
Creators: name: Zhao, Jian
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Price promotion is being widely employed in the global restaurant industry. This exploratory study uses online user-generated content (UGC) to investigate how price promotion affects diners' perceptions. The study uses secondary data extracted from a Chinese third-party review website, Dianping.com. The data was separated into Restaurant Week's price promotion group and non-price promotion group for comparison. Structured content analysis and further chi-square tests were used to analyze qualitative data, and a two-way MANOVA was applied to analyze quantitative data. Empirical evidence shows that food, service, and environment are the top three determinant attributes for full-service restaurants, and they are not influenced by price promotion. In addition, diners' perceptions of non-price promotions are significantly higher than Restaurant Week's price promotion. Restaurant category has a significant effect on diners' environment perceptions, but not on other attributes. Findings of the study provide diners' insight on Restaurant Week as well as recommendations to adjust promotional strategies based on restaurant categories and practical instructions for full-service restaurant operators to evaluate price promotions using online UGC.
