Police Interventions, Public Perceptions, and The RDFC Interaction Model
Creators: name: Clouse, Stacey L.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Procedural justice and police legitimacy research suggests that perceptions of legitimacy are based on the credibility of police (Sunshine & Tyler, 2003). However, highly publicized incidents of police use of force serve to threaten that credibility. High profile incidents between police and citizens in Black communities have contributed to national protests and, as some data suggest, increased violence toward the police (FBI.gov, 2016). Extensive media coverage of these incidents has contributed to an increased sensitivity toward police- citizen interactions leading to incidents of civil unrest (Weitzer, 2002). The incidents of civil unrest suggest that we should more closely examine factors that influence public perceptions of police interventions.
         This study uses the RDFC Interaction Model (Madensen et al., 2012) to structure an examination of citizen reactions toward specific police interventions. The RDFC Interaction Model suggests that four dimensions of police-citizen encounters will affect the degree to which the public will find police actions as acceptable and voluntarily comply with officer directives. Those dimensions include being reasonable, disarming, focused, and consistent. This study measures public support of specific police interactions using the RDFC Interaction Model and examines reported differences across each of the model's dimensions. In addition, this study attempts to identify individual characteristics that may account for variation in reported perceptions of police interventions. The policy objective of the study is to assist police departments in community outreach efforts when highly publicized use of force incidents occur.

description: In my introductory courses in environmental science and ecology, students work on a three-part project throughout the 16-week semester (called “Finding Ecology Where You Look”) to focus on making observations of ecological phenomena on our campus and local environments. In Part I of the project, students photograph their campus observations, and identify and annotate examples of ecological concepts. Each of the Four-Dimensional Ecology Education (4DEE) framework dimensions are included in the photography assignment: Core Ecological Concepts (varied) Ecological Practices (as natural history, communicating and applying ecology), Human-Environment Interactions (as human dependence on the environment, human accelerated environmental change, ethics) and Cross-Cutting Themes (systems, spatial & temporal).
Variable Transition Time Inverters in a Digital Delay Line with Analog Storage for Processing Fast Signals and Pulses
Creators: name: Mellott, James Kenton
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: As the electronics industry moves forward there is an increasing need to process information faster and more accurately. High speed signals are used in scientific instrumentation, range finding devices, radar applications, and electro-optical interfaces. High-speed state of the art analog-to-digital converters are required to process these signals in real time. High frequency signals or very fast pulses are not able to be processed accurately due to either Nyquist-rate limitations or practical power consumption limits. For applications where signals are transient in nature and design size and power consumption are major factors, the proposed Variable Fast Transient Digitizer (VFTD) will be able to discretize fast signals and reproduce them with minimal signal loss. The VFTD can be coupled with micro-controllers to process these very fast signals and pulses that operate in the gigahertz (GHz) range, while minimizing static power consumption and package size [1].
The VFTD designed is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that can capture and store a high-speed analog input signal at a variable rate. The stored signal can be replicated at a slower rate, also adjustable, for user specific applications. The reconstruction process is adjustable to allow for interfacing with different microprocessors that vary across a range of operating frequencies and costs. This implementation of the VFTD utilizes 256 on-chip capacitors to store the data. Experimental results show the fastest rate of capture to be roughly 3.16 GHz, or 316 ps per stage, with slower rates of capture dependent upon off-chip bias resistors values. The capture rate and number of stages determine the overall capture window. For example, with 256 stages and 316 ps per stage the total capture window is roughly 81 ns, and with 6.25 ns per stage the capture window is roughly 1.59 us. The variable control and off-chip resistor allow for user and application specific modifications. The 256-stage VFTD can be implemented on a chip in a 0.5 mm x 1.5 mm area. The VFTD integrated circuit (IC) used for testing was fabricated by MOSIS using On Semiconductor's C5 Process.

description: We investigate a formalism for the conditions of a successful explanation of AI. We consider "success" to depend not only on what information the explanation contains, but also on what information the human explainee understands from it. Theory of mind literature discusses the folk concepts that humans use to understand and generalize behavior. We posit that folk concepts of behavior provide us with a "language" that humans understand behavior with. We use these folk concepts as a framework of social attribution by the human explainee - the information constructs that humans are likely to comprehend from explanations - by introducing a blueprint for an explanatory narrative (Figure 1) that explains AI behavior with these constructs. We then demonstrate that many XAI methods today can be mapped to folk concepts of behavior in a qualitative evaluation. This allows us to uncover their failure modes that prevent current methods from explaining successfully - i.e., the information constructs that are missing for any given XAI method, and whose inclusion can decrease the likelihood of misunderstanding AI behavior.

description: We examine Herschel Space Observatory images of one nearby prototypical outer ring galaxy, NGC 1291, and show that the ring becomes more prominent at wavelengths longer than 160um. The mass of cool dust in the ring dominates the total dust mass of the galaxy, accounting for at least 70% of it. The temperature of the emitting dust in the ring (T=19.5+/-0.3K) is cooler than that of the inner galaxy (T=25.7+/-0.7K). We discuss several explanations for the difference in dust temperature, including age and density differences in the stellar populations of the ring versus the bulge.

Identification of long term changes and evaluation of the relationships among streamflow variability and oceanic-atmospheric indices
Creators: name: Sagarika, Soumya
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: To examine the effects of climate variability on streamflow, this thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of the streamflow variability of the continental United States and its association with oceanic-atmospheric indices. First, the presence of trends with consideration of short term and long term persistence followed by shifts over the past years in the continental U.S. streamflow were analyzed by using the non-parametric tests: Mann Kendall and Pettitt. Second, the spatio-temporal relationships between seasonal streamflow variability of continental U.S. and sea surface temperatures (SST) and 500 mbar geopotential height (Z500) of the Pacific and Atlantic were established using the singular valued decomposition (SVD) factorization technique. Finally, the SVD technique was used to determine the spatio-temporal relationships between western U.S. seasonal streamflow variability and indicators (SST and Z500) of Pacific Ocean variability.
The results indicated that significant trends and shifts existed in the streamflow volumes in the past few decades in the continental U.S., and short term and long term persistence was evident in streamflows. Removal of the persistence characteristic removed the spurious trends, that could otherwise be misinterpreted. The 1970's were the years when major shifts took place, and most of the shift periods coincided with the phase changes of multi-decadal oscillations. A strong spatio-temporal relationship of the streamflow was established with the oceanic-atmospheric indicators and the multi-decadal oscillations (PDO, AMO) did influence these relationships. Seasonal analysis showed an improved explanation of co-variability over water-year. The lead-time approach showed that the relationships could be explained up to 9 months ahead and Z500 showed improved results over SST at shorter lead-times. Several new regions apart from the well identified index regions were identified in the oceanic region to have strong relationships with seasonal streamflows. The individual basins showed unique relationships with the indicators both spatially and temporally which could be due to their unique topographical and local factors.
The contributions from this research include a better understanding of the changes in continental U.S. streamflow and the spatio-temporal relationships with oceanic-atmospheric variability that can help in better water management decisions.

description: Compute, data, and algorithmic advances are the three fundamental factors that guide the progress of modern Machine Learning (ML). In this paper we study trends in the most readily quantified factor - compute. We show that before 2010 training compute grew in line with Moore's law, doubling roughly every 20 months. Since the advent of Deep Learning in the early 2010s, the scaling of training compute has accelerated, doubling approximately every 6 months. In late 2015, a new trend emerged as firms developed large-scale ML models with 10 to 100-fold larger requirements in training compute. Based on these observations we split the history of compute in ML into three eras: the Pre Deep Learning Era, the Deep Learning Era and the Large-Scale Era. Overall, our work highlights the fast-growing compute requirements for training advanced ML systems.

description: Based on Gary Becker's analytical tools—the family production model and the interdependent preferences—for family economics and the later criticisms regarding Becker's auxiliary assumptions, the study attempted to answer how American people's calculation of perceived benefits and costs could mediate the effects of economic factors and gender ideology regarding their parental leave norms during the pre-birth period. With data collected through an online survey on MTurk, the study revealed that male respondents in the survey included both the economic factors and gender ideology in calculating their expected gain and loss of family well-being in taking care of the children. For female respondents, only the gender ideology entered their functions of perceived utility. Moreover, regarding the choice of exiting work for full-time parenting, there was a partial mediating effect existed between male respondents' perceived benefits and their economic factors. By comparison, both perceived costs and benefits for female participants partially mediated the effect of gender ideology.

description: Newly-published $^{42}$Si gamma-ray spectra and a final-state-inclusive $^{42}$Si production cross section value, obtained in a higher-statistics intermediate-energy two-proton removal experiment from $^{44}$S, are considered in terms of the final-state-exclusive cross sections computed using proposed shell-model effective interactions for nuclei near N=28. Specifically, we give cross section predictions when using the two nucleon amplitudes of the two-proton overlaps $$ computed using the newly-proposed {\sc sdpf-mu} shell-model Hamiltonian. We show that these partial cross sections or their longitudinal momentum distributions should enable a less-tentative interpretation of the measured gamma-ray spectra and provide a more quantitative assessment of proposed shell-model Hamiltonians in this interesting and challenging region of the chart of nuclides.

Competitive Arms Control: State Strategies in Pursuit of Advantage

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Arms Control
subject: Arms Racing

subject: Strategy

description: Arms control agreements are often celebrated as triumphs of cooperation over competition in order to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. This assumption places significant emphasis on absolute security for all states despite the fact that security gains created by arms control agreements are not equally distributed between participants (as states possess diverse military capabilities, national security interests, etc.) and states are ultimately more concerned about relative security versus adversaries. How do states leverage this unequal distribution for their own benefit? This article develops a theoretical framework that describes how states use arms control as a mechanism to achieve relative military advantage over adversaries (i.e. cooperative means to achieve competitive ends) and is tested against two major arms control agreements between the United States and the Soviet Union, the INF Treaty and START I. These findings have policy implications as great power states grapple with the role arms control will play in an increasingly-multipolar international system.

description: We investigate the probability equivalent level of Value at Risk and $n^{\mathrm{th}}$-order Expected Shortfall (called PELVE_n), which can be considered as a variant of the notion of the probability equivalent level of Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall (called PELVE) due to Li and Wang (2022). We study the finiteness, uniqueness and several properties of PELVE_n, we calculate PELVE_n of some notable distributions, PELVE_2 of a random variable having generalized Pareto excess distribution, and we describe the asymptotic behaviour of PELVE_2 of regularly varying distributions as the level tends to $0$. Some properties of $n^{\mathrm{th}}$-order Expected Shortfall are also investigated. Among others, it turns out that the Gini Shortfall at some level $p\in[0,1)$ corresponding to a (loading) parameter $λ\geq 0$ is the linear combination of the Expected Shortfall at level $p$ and the $2^{\mathrm{nd}}$-order Expected Shortfall at level $p$ with coefficients $1-2λ$ and $2λ$, respectively.

description: Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a useful technique for characterizing chiral molecules. It is more sensitive than total absorption to molecule conformation, and it is routinely used to identify enantiomers. We present here absorption and CD spectra within the Time Dependent (TD) B3LYP approximation in c-GlyPhe, a cyclo-dipeptide containing an aromatic group. Results from codes in localized basis-set (Orca and MolGW) are carefully compared with the novel TD-B3LYP implementation we developed in the Yambo code, that uses a plane-wave basis set.

Security of quantum key distribution from generalised entropy accumulation

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The goal of quantum key distribution (QKD) is to establish a secure key between two parties connected by an insecure quantum channel. To use a QKD protocol in practice, one has to prove that a finite size key is secure against general attacks: no matter the adversary's attack, they cannot gain useful information about the key. A much simpler task is to prove security against collective attacks, where the adversary is assumed to behave identically and independently in each round. In this work, we provide a formal framework for general QKD protocols and show that for any protocol that can be expressed in this framework, security against general attacks reduces to security against collective attacks, which in turn reduces to a numerical computation. Our proof relies on a recently developed information-theoretic tool called generalised entropy accumulation and can handle generic prepare-and-measure protocols directly without switching to an entanglement-based version.

An Operator Product Expansion for the Mutual Information in AdS/CFT
Creators: name: Molina-Vilaplana, Javier
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the behaviour of the mutual information $\mathcal{I}_{AB}$ between two "small" and wide separated spherical regions $A$ and $B$ in the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM gauge theory dual to Type IIB string theory in $AdS_5 \times S^5$. To this end, the mutual information is recasted in terms of correlators of surface operators $\mathcal{W}\left( Σ\right)$ defined along a surface $Σ$ within the boundary gauge theory. This construction relies on the strong analogies between the twist field operators appearing in the replica trick method used for the computation of the entanglement entropy, and the disorder-like surface operators in gauge theories. In the AdS/CFT correspondence, a surface operator $\mathcal{W}\left( Σ\right)$ corresponds to having a D3-brane in $AdS_5 \times S^5$ ending on the boundary along the prescribed surface $Σ$. Then, a long distance expansion for $\mathcal{I}_{AB}$ is provided. The coefficients of the expansion appear as a byproduct of the operator product expansion for the correlators of the operators $\mathcal{W}(Σ)$ with the chiral primaries of the theory. We find that, while undergoing a phase transition at a critical distance, the holographic mutual information, instead of strictly vanishing, decays with a power law whose leading contributions of order $\mathcal{O}(N^0)$, originate from the exchange of pairs of the lightest bulk particles between $A$ and $B$. These particles correspond to operators in the boundary field theory with the smallest scaling dimensions.

description: Subjecting a physical system to a time-periodic drive can substantially modify its properties and applications. This Floquet-engineering approach has been extensively applied to a wide range of classical and quantum settings in view of designing synthetic systems with exotic properties. Considering a general class of two-mode nonlinear optical devices, we show that effective optical nonlinearities can be created by subjecting the light field to a repeated pulse sequence, which couples the two modes in a fast and time-periodic manner. The strength of these drive-induced optical nonlinearities, which include an emerging four-wave mixing, can be varied by simply adjusting the pulse sequence. This leads to topological changes in the system's phase space, which can be detected through light intensity and phase measurements. Our proposal builds on an effective-Hamiltonian approach, which derives from a parent quantum many-body Hamiltonian describing driven interacting bosons. As a corollary, our results equally apply to Bose-Einstein condensates in driven double-well potentials, where pair tunneling effectively arises from the periodic pulse sequence. Our scheme offers a practical route to engineer and finely tune exotic nonlinearities and interactions in photonics and ultracold quantum gases.

description: "
The broaden-and-build theory proposes that positive emotions build over time to promote well-being (Fredrickson, 2001). Mindfulness meditation (MM) promotes positive emotions and well-being (Garland et al., 2010). This study examined the influences of a short-term MM intervention on trait mindfulness, stress, coping flexibility, and well-being (defined as flourishing and positive emotions) at longitudinal, daily, and momentary levels. Further, this study examined whether coping flexibility mediated the link between stress and well-being, and whether MM moderated each of the previous links. Results indicate that MM increased mindfulness, coping flexibility, and well-being, and decreased stress over time. Coping flexibility mediated the link between stress and flourishing at the longitudinal level. Overall, MM did not moderate mediated links. Results support the broaden-and-build theory and indicate that MM builds positive resources over time. Future studies should continue to examine the mechanisms by which MM promotes well-being.

Key words: Mindfulness, stress, coping flexibility, well-being, flourishing, positive emotions, mindfulness meditation

description: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germline, recently we discovered that full length or partial transcripts of LINE1 are frequently found in the somatic cells. However, the extent of variation in LINE1 levels across different tissues and different individuals, and the genes and pathways that are co-expressed with LINE1 are unknown. Co-expressed genes may be candidate genes that are functioning in transposon silencing. Here, we report the extent of variation in L1HS expression levels across cancer tissues and healthy tissues collected for The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). L1HS is overexpressed in most of the cancer types we have studied. Our results confirm earlier reports of higher L1HS expression in the esophagus and stomach tissues. We also show that mitochondrial genes are enriched among the genes whose expression is negatively correlated with L1HS expression and that PHD fingers, bromodomains and KRAB-zinc fingers (KRAB-ZFPs) are enriched among the genes positively co-expressed with L1HS. Additionally, we studied the association of L1HS transcript level with miRNA expression, and we found several candidate miRNAs that are significantly correlated with L1HS expression
title: Untersuchungen zum Wachstumsverhalten von Y1Ba2Cu3O7-x Schichten mit Au-Nanoclustern

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich inhaltlich mit Untersuchungen zum Wachstumsverhalten und Eigenschaften von Yttrium-Barium-Kupferoxid-Schichten (YBCO). Diese qualitativ hochwertigen supraleitenden YBCO-Schichten wachsen mittels einer lasergestützten Abscheidung (PLD) auf einem Strontiumtitanat-Substrat auf. Es wurden verschiedene Abscheideparameter, wie Targetmaterial, Heizertemperatur, Laserleistung sowie Sauerstoffpartialdruck, für die Schichterzeugung optimiert. Diese Parameterkombinationen wirken sich auf Schichtwachstum sowie Schichteigenschaften aus. Im Ergebnis konnten in den hergestellten Schichten Sprungtemperaturen von über 90K mit hoher Reproduzierbarkeit erzielt werden. Ferner wurde das Wachstumsverhalten von YBCO-Schichten mit Goldnanoclustern untersucht. Aus Voruntersuchungen ist bekannt, dass eine Modifizierung der Eigenschaften durch Goldcluster möglich ist. Hierzu wurde eine dünne Au-Schicht als „Template-Schicht“ direkt auf dem Substrat abgeschieden, worauf anschließend die YBCO-Schicht aufwächst. Eine Erhöhung der Goldschichtdicke führt zu einem Anstieg der Rauhigkeit. Ursache hierfür sind Goldausscheidungen an der Oberfläche, die sich weiter ausdehnen und zu Goldnanoclustern zusammenwachsen. Zwischen diesen Clustern liegen Bereiche mit einer verminderten Oberflächenrauhigkeit, was per Rauhigkeitsmessungen und REM-Aufnahmen belegt wird.

Floating Head Touching Earth
Creators: name: Cahall, Carrieann
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Floating Head Touching Earth is a collection of short stories centered on themes of identity, historical and intergenerational trauma, familial duty, and self-discovery delivered through prose that is often tinged with surreal or strange elements. Inspired by the craft of writers like Flannery O'Connor and Aimee Bender, my work seeks to explore the power that seemingly small or forgotten experiences can have on one's psyche in ways that ripple throughout a lifetime. The stories are organized in a manner that track an unraveling of the body, history, relationships and the minds of its various protagonists. The Buddhist mudra, or gesture, of "touching earth" is often depicted to represent the moment Buddha obtained enlightenment. Floating Head Touching Earth is a gathering of the narratives of many such "floating heads" and their individual attempts to understand themselves and those around them.

Modeling Pavement Distress Rates within U.S. Air Force Airfields
Creators: name: Sahagun, Lauren
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Through the review of Pavement Condition Index (PCI) surveys completed at Air Force installations scattered across the continental United States, pavement engineers at the Air Force Civil Engineer Center propose that the predominant factor contributing to pavement distress development is climate. They suggest that within each pavement distress type (i.e. alligator cracking, rutting, spalling, etc.) a geographic pattern exists that is strongly correlated to the conventional climate zones within the US. Knowledge of these geographic patterns would equip pavement engineers and asset managers with a powerful tool to develop purposeful maintenance strategies specific to each distress type.
The following approach was used to evaluate the hypothesis that climate is the predominant pavement distress contributor. First the AF Roll-up Database, housing over 50,000 lines of pavement distress data, was distilled using an original process designed to combine like distresses while accounting for age and size of the pavement upon which the distress occurs. The process effectively reduced the 50,000 lines of distress data to a format that could be used to perform krig analysis. Krig analysis was performed upon the distilled pavement distress data to develop a pavement behavior model for asphalt cement (AC) and portland cement concrete (PCC) runways. Regression analysis and further krig analysis were conducted for each distress type within the presented pavement models to identify if the distress behavior varies between the zones of the models. The combined regression and krig analysis provided insight into the overall pavement behavior for AC and PCC runways and illustrated which zone was more susceptible to specific pavement distresses.
The investigation showed that some distresses display a strong geographic pattern while others are more widespread. The model created in this research to assess the geographic patterns embedded within the distress data and the krig analysis used to uncover these patterns are both based on a derivation of the PCI deduct value, which contains within it all five pavement deterioration factors (climate, maintenance strategy, traffic load, construction history and pavement structure). This research shows that there is a relationship between pavement distress and climate; however, an investigation of patterns within the other four pavement deterioration factors must be conducted before the conclusion can be made that it is the predominant factor. The data consolidation process and pavement behavior models presented here provide a framework to conduct the additional analysis.
Constraining deviations from spherical symmetry using $ γ$-metric

description: The $ γ$-spacetime metric is a static and axially symmetric vacuum solution of the Einstein equation. This spacetime represents a naked singularity and it has an extra parameter $ γ$ which signifies deviations from spherical symmetry. In this work, we study the possibility of constraining the deformation parameter with astrophysical observations. We start with gravitational lensing in the weak and strong-field limit and calculate the respective deflection angles to show that only strong-field lensing observations will be able to constrain $ γ$ independently. Later we study two other classical tests of gravity: Shapiro time delay and precession of perihelion. We show that, out of these two experiments, the deformation parameter affects the observables only in perihelion shift.

Magnetic moment manipulation by triplet Josephson current

description: The induced magnetic moment, provided by the bands electrons, is calculated in a variety of Josephson junctions with multilayered ferromagnetic (F) weak link. The noncollinear magnetization of the F layers provides the conditions necessary to generate triplet superconducting correlations. It leads to the long-range induced magnetic moment, emerging in the superconducting (S) layers. It is shown to be dependent on the Josephson phase. By tuning the Josephson current, one may control the long-range induced magnetic moment. Alternatively, applying the voltage we can generate an oscillatory magnetic moment. The detection of such a spin effect may serve as independent evidence of the triplet superconductivity. The proposed mechanism seems to be attractive for superconducting spintronic devices with low dissipation.

Expression-preserving face frontalization improves visually assisted speech processing

description: Face frontalization consists of synthesizing a frontally-viewed face from an arbitrarily-viewed one. The main contribution of this paper is a frontalization methodology that preserves non-rigid facial deformations in order to boost the performance of visually assisted speech communication. The method alternates between the estimation of (i)~the rigid transformation (scale, rotation, and translation) and (ii)~the non-rigid deformation between an arbitrarily-viewed face and a face model. The method has two important merits: it can deal with non-Gaussian errors in the data and it incorporates a dynamical face deformation model. For that purpose, we use the generalized Student t-distribution in combination with a linear dynamic system in order to account for both rigid head motions and time-varying facial deformations caused by speech production. We propose to use the zero-mean normalized cross-correlation (ZNCC) score to evaluate the ability of the method to preserve facial expressions. The method is thoroughly evaluated and compared with several state of the art methods, either based on traditional geometric models or on deep learning. Moreover, we show that the method, when incorporated into deep learning pipelines, namely lip reading and speech enhancement, improves word recognition and speech intelligibilty scores by a considerable margin.
