description: This study analyzes how risk attitudes change when individuals become parents using longitudinal data for a large and representative sample of individuals. The results show that men and women experience a considerable increase in risk aversion which already starts as early as two years before becoming a parent, is largest shortly after giving birth and disappears when the child becomes older. These findings show that parenthood leads to considerable changes in individual risk attitudes over time. Thus, analyses using risk preferences as the explanatory variable for economic outcomes should be careful in interpreting the findings as causal effects.

description: Quantum hypothesis testing plays a pivotal role in quantum technologies, making decisions or drawing conclusions about quantum systems based on observed data. Recently, quantum control techniques have been successfully applied to quantum hypothesis testing, enabling the reduction of error probabilities in the task of distinguishing magnetic fields in presence of environmental noise. In real-world physical systems, such control is prone to various channels of inaccuracies. Therefore improving the robustness of quantum control in the context of quantum hypothesis testing is crucial. In this work, we utilize optimal control methods to compare scenarios with and without accounting for the effects of signal frequency inaccuracies. For parallel dephasing and spontaneous emission, the optimal control inherently demonstrates a certain level of robustness, while in the case of transverse dephasing with an imperfect signal, it may result in a higher error probability compared to the uncontrolled scheme. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a robust control approach optimized for a range of signal noise, demonstrating superior robustness beyond the predefined tolerance window. On average, both the optimal control and robust control show improvements over the uncontrolled schemes for various dephasing or decay rates, with the robust control yielding the lowest error probability.

description: We study the effect of strain on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) induced by a diamond like carbon (DLC) film. The junction resistance as well as the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) reduces with the DLC film. Non-equilibrium Green's function quantum transport calculations show that the application of biaxial strain increases the conductance for both the parallel and anti-parallel configurations. However, the conductance for the minority channel and for the anti-parallel configuration is significantly more sensitive to strain, which drastically increases transmission through a MgO tunnel barrier, therefore, the TMR ratio decreases with biaxial strain.

In-plane structure of the electric double layer in the primitive model using classical density functional theory

description: The electric double layer (EDL) has a pivotal role in screening charges on surfaces as in supercapacitor electrodes or colloidal and polymer solutions. Its structure is determined by correlations between the finite-sized ionic charge carriers of the underlying electrolyte and, this way, these correlations affect the properties of the EDL and of applications utilizing EDLs. We study the structure of EDLs within classical density functional theory (DFT) in order to uncover whether a structural transition in the first layer of the EDL that is driven by changes in the surface potential depends on specific particle interactions or has a general footing. This transition has been found in full-atom simulations. Thus far, investigating the in-plane structure of the EDL for the primitive model (PM) using DFT proved a challenge. We show here that the use of an appropriate functional predicts the in-plane structure of EDLs in excellent agreement with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. This provides the playground to investigate how the structure factor within a layer parallel to a charged surface changes as function of both the applied surface potential and its separation from the surface. We discuss pitfalls in properly defining an in-plane structure factor and fully map out the structure of the EDL within the PM for a wide range of electrostatic electrode potentials. However, we do not find any signature of a structural crossover and conclude that the previously reported effect is not fundamental but rather occurs due to the specific force field of ions used in the simulations.

description: In this work, we study the flavor-changing neutral-current process $B_{c}\to{D}_{s}^{*}(\to{D}_{s}π)\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ ($\ell$= $e$, $μ$, $τ$). The relevant weak transition form factors are obtained by using the covariant light-front quark model, in which, the main inputs, i.e., the meson wave functions of $B_{c}$ and $D_{s}^{*}$, are adopted as the numerical wave functions from the solution of the Schrödinger equation with the modified Godfrey-Isgur model. With the obtained form factors, we further investigate the relevant branching fractions and their ratios, and some angular observables, i.e., the forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$, the polarization fractions $F_{L(T)}$, and the $CP$-averaged angular coefficients $S_{i}$ and the $CP$ asymmetry coefficients $A_{i}$. We also present our results of the clean angular observables $P_{1,2,3}$ and $P^{\prime}_{4,5,6,8}$, which can reduce the uncertainties from the form factors. Our results show that the corresponding branching fractions of the electron or muon channels can reach up to $10^{-8}$. With more data being accumulated in the LHCb experiment, our results are helpful for exploring this process, and deepen our understanding of the physics around the $b\to{s}\ell^{+}\ell^{-}$ process.

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Clostridium difficile is an anaerobic Gram-positive pathogen with high treatment costs and mortality and very high antibiotic tolerance. Antimicrobial host-defense peptides (HDPs) produced naturally by animal immune systems are promising candidates to develop novel therapies for bacterial infection because they cause oxidative stress that damages multiple targets in bacterial cells, so it is difficult for bacteria to evolve resistance to these attacks. Piscidins, fish-derived HDPs that can also form complexes with copper (Cu) to enhance their activities, are very active against multiple bacterial species in an aerobic environment. We examined their activity against C. difficile and other species in an anaerobic environment and found that the interaction of piscidins and copper is different in different oxygen environments. Piscidins are highly active against C. difficile and could be a good candidate for drug development.

We demonstrate its flexibility on a number of graphics tasks, i.e., geometric and image representation, texture mapping, shading, and radiance field representation. In all cases, differentiable indirection seamlessly integrates into existing architectures, trains rapidly, and yields both versatile and efficient results.

description: The purpose of this study was to understand how preservice teachers perceived instructional coaching during their semester of student teaching as they completed their teacher training and their secondary education license requirements at a 4-year university in the Western U.S. In this study, I worked within Dr. Jim Knight’s instructional coaching principles in the unique setting of student teaching.
Through numerous personal interactions with my participants via informal meetings and electronic communications I arrive at the conclusion that each participant uniquely valued the instructional coaching in the areas of access, advice, feedback, support, and a lack of evaluative responsibility. Additionally, my participants offered suggestions that would improve instructional coaching in the areas of content knowledge and clearer understanding of instructional coaching at the outset of the semester.

description: The capacitance of MgO based magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) has been observed to be magnetic field dependent. We propose an equivalent circuit for the MTJs with a parallel-leaky capacitance (Cl) across the series combination of geometric and interfacial capacitance. The analysis of junctions with different tunneling magnetoresistance values suggests higher Cl for low TMR junctions. Using Cole-Cole plots the capacitive nature of MTJs is manifested. Fitting with Maxwell-Wagner capacitance model validates the RC parallel network model for MTJs and the extracted field dependent parameters match with the experimental values.

description: The authors have investigated magnetic domain wall induced capacitance variation as a tool for the detection of magnetic reversal in magnetic nanowires for in-plane (NiFe) and out-of-plane (Co/Pd) magnetization configurations. The switching fields in the capacitance measurements match with that of the magnetoresistance measurements in the opposite sense. The origin of the magnetocapacitance has been attributed to magnetoresistance. This magnetocapacitance detection technique can be useful for magnetic domain wall studies.

The first two studies measure the tracking efficiency of a charged particle using $τ$ and initial state radiation decays. The third uses the $τ$ decays to study the asymmetry in tracking, the fourth measures the tracking efficiency for low momentum tracks, and the last measures the reconstruction efficiency of $K_S^0$ particles. The first section also examines the stability of the measurements vs BaBar running periods.

Twistor space for rolling bodies

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: On a natural circle bundle T(M) over a 4-dimensional manifold M equipped with a split signature metric g, whose fibers are real totally null selfdual 2-planes, we consider a tautological rank 2 distribution D obtained by lifting each totally null plane horizontally to its point in the fiber. Over the open set where g is not antiselfdual, the distribution D is (2,3,5) in T(M). We show that if M is a Cartesian product of two Riemann surfaces (S1,g1) and (S2,g2), and if g=g1--g2, then the circle bundle T(S1 x S2) is just the configuration space for the physical system of two solid bodies B1 and B2, bounded by the surfaces S1 and S2 and rolling on each other. The condition for the two bodies to roll on each other `without slipping or twisting' identifies the restricted velocity space for such a system with the tautological distribution D on T(S1 x S2). We call T(S1 x S2) the twistor space, and D the twistor distribution for the rolling bodies. Among others we address the following question: "For which pairs of bodies does the restricted velocity distribution (which we identify with the twistor distribution D) have the simple Lie group G2 as its group of symmetries?" Apart from the well known situation when the boundaries S1 and S2 of the two bodies have constant curvatures whose ratio is 1:9, we unexpectedly find three different types of surfaces, which when bounding a body that rolls `without slipping or twisting' on a plane, have D with the symmetry group G2. Although we have found the differential equations for the curvatures of S1 and S2 that gives D with G2 symmetry, we are unable to solve them in full generality so far.

description: We present a comprehensive case study comparing the performance of D-Waves' quantum-classical hybrid framework, Fujitsu's quantum-inspired digital annealer, and Gurobi's state-of-the-art classical solver in solving a transport robot scheduling problem. This problem originates from an industrially relevant real-world scenario. We provide three different models for our problem following different design philosophies. In our benchmark, we focus on the solution quality and end-to-end runtime of different model and solver combinations. We find promising results for the digital annealer and some opportunities for the hybrid quantum annealer in direct comparison with Gurobi. Our study provides insights into the workflow for solving an application-oriented optimization problem with different strategies, and can be useful for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches.
title: Influencing Hawai‘i Hotel Patrons to Use Reef-Safe Sunscreens
Creators: name: Good, Rochelle
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: The health of Hawaiian coral reefs is threatened by pollution from common sunscreen ingredients such as oxybenzone. Hawai‘i hotel patrons using sunscreens with harmful ingredients contaminate coral reefs when these products wash off while swimming or bathing. Reef-safe sunscreens are alternative sunscreens that provide effective sun protection while averting damage to coral reefs. The purpose of this research was to determine the dominant factors leading to the pro-environmental behavior of using reef-safe sunscreen and identify practices that Hawai‘i hotel operators could implement to influence patrons to engage in this behavior. This research applied an integrative conceptual framework to model pro-environmental behavior in the hospitality industry. The framework proposed attitudes, personal capabilities, and habits as causal variables that influence pro-environmental intention, the predictor of pro-environmental behavior. Contextual factors was proposed as a moderating variable for the relationship between pro-environmental intention and pro-environmental behavior. Two studies were conducted: Study I, an elicitation study, performed 15 in-depth interviews with current Hawai‘i hotel patrons and Study II surveyed a sample of 400 past Hawai‘i hotel patrons using an online self-administered survey. Intention to use reef-safe sunscreen while in Hawai‘i and the factors that influenced intention were investigated. Interviews were examined using thematic analysis and survey responses were analyzed with multiple linear regression and one-way repeated measures ANOVA. Results indicated that Hawai‘i hotel patrons' intention to use reef-safe sunscreen was primarily influenced by three determinants: attitudes, personal capabilities, and contextual factors. Targeting the development of personal capabilities and employing contextual factors that facilitate the behavior were shown as effective methods to influence reef-safe sunscreen use. Findings supported educational campaigns and complimentary reef-safe sunscreen amenity programs as practices that Hawai‘i hotel operators could implement to significantly influence patrons' intention to use reef-safe sunscreens.

Comparison of Zero Valent Iron (ZVI) and ZVI+Sludge for the Removal of High Levels of Hexavalent Chromium and Chlorate from Waters
Creators: name: Greenhalgh, Kenneth R.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Remediation of contaminated groundwater is becoming increasingly more
important as much of the U.S. population relies on groundwater for their drinking water.
Contaminates such as Chromium, common pollutant at industrial waste sites, and
Hexavalent chromium which is toxic to humans, animals, and plants are major
concerns. Chlorate, another contaminate of concern, has been widely detected in
ground and surface water in the United States and even locally in Henderson Nevada at
the Nevada Environmental Response Trust (NERT) sites. To assist in mitigating this
issue, this research focuses on the removal of high levels of hexavalent chromium (ppm
range) (Cr(VI)) and chlorate (ClO3-) from water using zero valent iron (ZVI).
Zero valent iron is a proven technology for the biotic and abiotic reduction of a
wide variety of environmental contaminants including Cr(VI), nitrate (NO3-), chlorinated
organic compounds, arsenic, ClO3-, and ClO4-. There is a lack of research investigating
the reduction of Cr(VI) using ZVI+Sludge, specifically examining how competing
contaminants, such as chlorate, would affect Cr(VI) remediation. The overall goal of this
research was to determine whether a combination of ZVI+Sludge can improve reduction
kinetics of degradation of high levels of Cr(VI) and chlorate, when they occur together.
A series of batch tests were conducted in which a synthetic groundwater,
containing the contaminants of interest, was added with various concentrations of ZVI,
microbial seed, and an external carbon source (i.e. EOS emulsified oil). Depending on
the method to be tested, varying concentrations of ZVI, Sludge, or a combination of
ZVI+Sludge were added to the vials. Degradation experiments were performed first with
single contaminants followed with the contaminants together. The analysis of the
experiments related to ZVI+Sludge showed a statistically significant increase in the
reduction of Cr(VI) alone over ZVI. The outcome of this research suggests an increase
in contaminant reduction rates when combining chemical and biological treatment
(ZVI+Sludge). Supporting the conclusion that a ZVI+Sludge treatment method could
reduce the amount of ZVI material required and/or increase the longevity of the system.

description: In this article, we simulate the concentration process within the German dairy sector employing a sector–wide optimization model. As a result, we get cost minimizing structures of the dairy sector for various time horizons depending on varying levels of transportation costs. We show that the model is capable of describing the current trend characterized by a decrease of the number of dairies while average capacity increases and that – ceteris paribus – this trend is likely to continue. In contrast, the trend may weaken or reverse if transportation costs rise in comparison to other types of costs.

description: We study the electrical transport properties of ensembles of bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanoplates grown by solution based chemical synthesis. Devices consisting of Bi2Te3 nanoplates are fabricated by surface treatment after dropping the solution on the structured gold plates and the temperature dependence of resistance shows a nonmetallic behavior. Symmetric tunneling behavior in I-V was observed in both our experimental results and theoretical calculation of surface conductance based on a simple Hamiltonian, which excludes carrier-carrier interactions. Here, we present two devices: one showing symmetric, the other showing a two-step tunneling behavior. The latter can be understood in terms of disorder.

description: This paper extends the model of Engler et al. (2007) on the adjustment of the US current account to a three-country world economy. This allows an analysis of the differential impact of a reversal of the US current account on Europe and Asia. In particular, the outcomes under different exchange rate policies are analysed. The main finding is that large factor re-allocations from non- tradables to tradables will be necessary in the US. The direction of factor re-allocation in Asia depends on whether the "Bretton-Woods-II" regime of unilaterally fixed or manipulated exchange rates in Asia is continued. If this is the case, the tradables sector and the current account surplus will continue to grow even when the US deficit closes. The flip side of this result is that Europe will face a huge real appreciation and an enormous current account deficit. With floating exchange rates worldwide, the impact on Europe will be limited while Asia´s tradables sector will shrink

title: Numerical Analysis and Fluid Flow Modeling of Incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations
Creators: name: Hill, Tahj
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: The Navier-Stokes equations (NSE) are an essential set of partial differential equations for governing the motion of fluids. In this paper, we will study the NSE for an incompressible flow, one which density ρ = ρ0 is constant.
First, we will present the derivation of the NSE and discuss solutions and boundary conditions for the equations. We will then discuss the Reynolds number, a dimensionless number that is important in the observations of fluid flow patterns. We will study the NSE at various Reynolds numbers, and use the Reynolds number to write the NSE in a nondimensional form.
We will then derive energy and enstrophy balances for the NSE. At high Reynolds numbers, a fluid's velocity u has many small spatial scales, which become difficult to account for, especially in three-dimensional flow. We discuss the time relaxation model (TRM), which aims to truncate these small scales while allowing the large scales to be accurately resolved, [25]. We will derive the energy and enstrophy balances for the TRM and show that the energy and enstrophy are the same as the NSE, but with enhanced dissipation terms.
Finally, we will derive a continuous finite element variational formulation for the TRM. Using FreeFEM++, we will run numerical results for the TRM for a specific benchmark problem.

description: We study a simplified model of lepton-flavoured complex scalar dark matter coupling to right-handed leptons and the Higgs boson. The model is set up in the Dark Minimal Flavour Violation framework. In contrast to previous studies of similar models we consider the most general case and do not a priori constrain the hierarchy of dark matter masses and couplings in any way. In the first part of the analysis we discuss the impact of Higgs portal interactions and the generalised mass hierarchy on the model's phenomenology. We find that they render new physics masses around the electroweak scale viable, thus qualifying this model to address the $(g-2)_μ$ puzzle. After reviewing the current situation of the latter, we perform two combined analyses -- one in which $(g-2)_μ$ allows for significant new physics effects and one in which it does not. We find that while the latter scenario allows for a larger range of new physics scales, both scenarios are equally viable.

description: Unsupervised Video Object Segmentation (VOS) aims at identifying the contours of primary foreground objects in videos without any prior knowledge. However, previous methods do not fully use spatial-temporal context and fail to tackle this challenging task in real-time. This motivates us to develop an efficient Long-Short Temporal Attention network (termed LSTA) for unsupervised VOS task from a holistic view. Specifically, LSTA consists of two dominant modules, i.e., Long Temporal Memory and Short Temporal Attention. The former captures the long-term global pixel relations of the past frames and the current frame, which models constantly present objects by encoding appearance pattern. Meanwhile, the latter reveals the short-term local pixel relations of one nearby frame and the current frame, which models moving objects by encoding motion pattern. To speedup the inference, the efficient projection and the locality-based sliding window are adopted to achieve nearly linear time complexity for the two light modules, respectively. Extensive empirical studies on several benchmarks have demonstrated promising performances of the proposed method with high efficiency.
Optimizing Back Squat Performance

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: The back squat is a task commonly used to train and test performance levels in competitive sports and strength based performance events. The purpose of this study was to analyze the potential performance benefits for a 1-repetition max (1RM) back squat under conditions in which the three key factors of OPTIMAL theory of motor learning (Wulf & Lewthwaite, 2016) are present: Enhanced expectancies (EE), autonomy support (AS), and an external focus (EF) of attention. Participants (N = 23) were assigned to either an optimized condition, which included EE AS, and EF, or a control condition. They were asked to perform a 1RM back squat protocol on two days, one week apart. The first day of testing served to establish a baseline for both groups. Results demonstrated an increase in 1RM performance as well as an increase in self efficacy relative to baseline in the optimized group. The control group demonstrated no changes in 1RM performance or self-efficacy. The findings reported in this study provide support for predictions of the OPTIMAL theory. They provide practitioners with practical information that may be beneficial for implementation in regular training for strength based performance tasks or in competitive settings.
Private Group Communication in Blockchain Based on Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange

description: Our research proposes a solution to establishing a private group encryption channel so that users may communicate securely according to NSA security standards. There are many techniques that are used to establish a private encryption channel between two users, but there are no encryption protocols currently available that are built to establish a private communication channel with an unlimited amount of users at once via the open distributed blockchain. Our solution demonstrates how a web interface allows any individual to publish a Public Key, a Wallet Address, and an Email Address to a smart contract which enables a private group communication channel of any size to be securely established. A private group communication channel allows any type of private data to be transferred to a group of two or more users like encrypted files, personal data, customer data, proprietary data, and much more.

description: The dynamics of a magnetic infinity-shaped nanostructure has been experimentally studied by two different techniques such as the sinusoidal resonance excitation and the damped short pulse excitation to measure the eigenfrequency of domain walls. Direct observation of the magnetic domain wall nucleation has been measured in the frequency domain. Electrical measurements of the domain wall dynamics in the frequency domain reveal the existence of multi-eigenmodes for large excitation amplitudes. The time-resolved measurements show that the frequency of the damped gyration is similar to that of the frequency domain and coexistence of spin wave excitations.

description: This study assesses the burden of capital income tax passed onto labor through wage bargaining over economic rents, using estimations based on a unique pseudo-panel data set from Germany for the period 1998 to 2006. Tax return data cover the universe of corporations subject to corporate income tax, and labor market variables reflect the full record of employees covered by Social Security. We find that wage bargaining after a reduction in tax rates does not increase the wage bill if employment effects neglected by previous empirical studies are taken into account. Any increase in the total wage bill by higher wage rates set is equally compensated for by lower levels of employment. If adjustments in employment due to the increased user cost of capital are taken into account, a cut in corporate income taxes by 1 euro increases the wage bill by 0.47 euro. The identification of these effects comes from variation in the firm-specific average corporate tax rate across firms and over time resulting from two substantial tax reforms. The endogeneity of the firmspecific tax rate is controlled for by an instrumental variable approach. The instrument for the observed average tax rate is the counterfactual tax rate that a corporation would have faced in a particular period, had there been no endogenous change of its tax base, constructed using a detailed microsimulation model.

description: Referring Video Object Segmentation (RVOS) requires segmenting the object in video referred by a natural language query. Existing methods mainly rely on sophisticated pipelines to tackle such cross-modal task, and do not explicitly model the object-level spatial context which plays an important role in locating the referred object. Therefore, we propose an end-to-end RVOS framework completely built upon transformers, termed \textit{Fully Transformer-Equipped Architecture} (FTEA), which treats the RVOS task as a mask sequence learning problem and regards all the objects in video as candidate objects. Given a video clip with a text query, the visual-textual features are yielded by encoder, while the corresponding pixel-level and word-level features are aligned in terms of semantic similarity. To capture the object-level spatial context, we have developed the Stacked Transformer, which individually characterizes the visual appearance of each candidate object, whose feature map is decoded to the binary mask sequence in order directly. Finally, the model finds the best matching between mask sequence and text query. In addition, to diversify the generated masks for candidate objects, we impose a diversity loss on the model for capturing more accurate mask of the referred object. Empirical studies have shown the superiority of the proposed method on three benchmarks, e.g., FETA achieves 45.1% and 38.7% in terms of mAP on A2D Sentences (3782 videos) and J-HMDB Sentences (928 videos), respectively; it achieves 56.6% in terms of $\mathcal{J\&F}$ on Ref-YouTube-VOS (3975 videos and 7451 objects). Particularly, compared to the best candidate method, it has a gain of 2.1% and 3.2% in terms of P$@$0.5 on the former two, respectively, while it has a gain of 2.9% in terms of $\mathcal{J}$ on the latter one.
