The Effects of Exhaust Vent Location on Thermal Comfort Inside the Residential Buildings Equipped With an Evaporative Cooling System
Creators: name: Saraei, Armin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Inlet and outlet conditions, Including size and location, have significant effects on the air distribution, temperature, humidity and thermal comfort in the buildings. In the current study, various strategies are presented for exhaust air vents and the effects of inlet and outlet vents locations are evaluated on providing thermal comfort in the residential and industrial buildings. To provide thermal comfort, three key factors need to be investigated based on ASHRAE standard 55- 2013 as follows: Comfort Zone, Thermal Sensation and Draft Rate. Flow distribution is studied as well in order to investigate the strategies, which make more vorticity in the ventilated air in living spaces as a factor of increasing discomfort in the building. The case study is located in Las Vegas where the weather is hot and dry in the summer time and the relative humidity is less than 8 %. In this regard, an evaporative cooling system is considered to increase humidity in the building since not only lack of humidity cause discomfort but also has many effects on breathing and skin dryness.
         A Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) study is developed as a numerical solution for obtaining temperature profile, relative humidity profile in different sections of the building regarding the evaluation of Thermal comfort in most critical spaces. In this study, relative humidity definition is formulated and imported as a field function in STAR-CCM+ to track relative humidity in each points of the building. As the temperature of ventilated air increases by absorbing heat, the percentage of relative humidity will be decreased consequently inside the building. By evaluating various strategies of exhaust vents in different hours of the day, it can be concluded that the thermal comfort will be provided most appropriate if the exhaust vents in each room are on the intersection of ceiling with the middle of farthest walls from the room's entrance in a building with a single evaporative cooler.
         The results presented in this study can be used in the design of air conditioning systems in residential and industrial buildings, which leads to improvement in performance of air conditioning systems without any extra expenses.

description: A novel concept is presented in this paper for a human mission to the lunar L2 (Lagrange) point that would be a proving ground for future exploration missions to deep space while also overseeing scientifically important investigations. In an L2 halo orbit above the lunar farside, the astronauts aboard the Orion Crew Vehicle would travel 15% farther from Earth than did the Apollo astronauts and spend almost three times longer in deep space. Such a mission would serve as a first step beyond low Earth orbit and prove out operational spaceflight capabilities such as life support, communication, high speed re-entry, and radiation protection prior to more difficult human exploration missions. On this proposed mission, the crew would teleoperate landers and rovers on the unexplored lunar farside, which would obtain samples from the geologically interesting farside and deploy a low radio frequency telescope. Sampling the South Pole-Aitken basin, one of the oldest impact basins in the solar system, is a key science objective of the 2011 Planetary Science Decadal Survey. Observations at low radio frequencies to track the effects of the Universe's first stars/galaxies on the intergalactic medium are a priority of the 2010 Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey. Such telerobotic oversight would also demonstrate capability for human and robotic cooperation on future, more complex deep space missions such as exploring Mars.

The Combined Effect of Photovoltaic and Electric Vehicle Penetration on Conservation Voltage Reduction in Distribution System
Creators: name: Bhusal, Narayan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Global conditions over the past dozen years have led to an expanded appetite for renewable energy sources: The diminishing fossil fuel supply, the political instability of countries producing these fossil fuels, the ever-more destructive effects of global warming, and the lowering of costs for renewable energy technologies have made countries around the world reconsider their sources of energy. The proliferation of photovoltaic (PV) systems especially has surged dramatically with the decreasing initial costs for installation, and increasing government support in the form of renewable energy portfolios, feed-in-tariffs,
         tax incentives, etc. Furthermore, electric vehicles (EV) are also becoming widespread due to recent advances in battery and electric drive technologies, and the desperate need to reduce air pollution in urban areas.
         Meanwhile, electric utilities are always making an effort to run their system more efficiently by encouraging the use of energy-efficient appliances and customer participation in demand-side management programs. In an attempt to further reduce load demand; many utilities regulate the voltage along their distribution feeders in a particular way that is referred to as conservation voltage reduction (CVR). The key principle of CVR operation is that the ANSI standard voltage band between 114 and 126 volts can be compressed via regulation to the lower half (114Ð120) instead of the upper half (120Ð126), producing measurable energy savings at low cost and without harm to consumer appliances.
         As the penetration of distributed PV and EV charging station increases, this can dramatically change the conventional demand profile as PV system act as negative loads during the daylight hours, and EVs significantly increase load demand during charging. Consequently, traditional means of controlling the voltage by capacitor switching and voltage regulators can be improved in this "smart" grid era by adding a fleet of enabling devices including the smart PV inverter functionalities, such as Volt/VAR control, and intelligent EV charging schemes.
         This thesis explores how better energy conservation is achieved by CVR in a modern distribution system with advanced distributed PV systems inverters and EV loads. Then it summarizes computer simulations that are conducted on the IEEE 37 and IEEE 123 node test feeders using OpenDSS interfaced with MATLAB.

Observability in Traffic Modeling: Eulerian and Lagrangian Coordinates
Creators: name: Contreras, Sergio
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Traditionally, one of the ways traffic flow has been studied is by using the kinematic wave model. This model is studied in the Eulerian framework. Recently, the kinematic wave model has been transformed into Lagrangian coordinates. This model of traffic flow together with the concept of observability for linear time invariant discrete time systems is applied to study the observability of four sections of a freeway in both Eulerian and Lagrangian coordinates. A system with densities in four sections of a freeway is designed, and the observability of the system is studied with different situations for sensors. When the system evolves exactly according to the models, the states of the system could be obtained from measurements from certain situations. For both, Eulerian and Lagrangian simulations, as long as the fourth section was measured, the states of the system could be obtained. To compare different situations of measurements, the condition number of the observability matrix is used.

title: Determining the Presence of Carbapenem Antibiotic Resistance in Clinical Isolates
Creators: name: Enyinnaya, Fidelis Uzoma
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Carbapenems are β-lactam antibiotics reserved for the treatment of severe microbial infections, especially those targeting the Enterobacteriaceae. Introduced in the 1980s, carbapenems have been used successfully in hospitals, and in the 1990s resistance was discovered. Carbapenem resistance is conferred through the production of carbapenemases. In the U.S., the most common carbapenemase is Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC). In 2012, the National Healthcare Safety Network reported a carbapenem resistance rate of 13.0% among Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, and indicated that the mortality rate associated with carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infections ranged from 48.0-71.9%. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), carbapenem resistance is observed when a pure culture has a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≥ 4 ug/ml as determined through antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST).In 2012, a lower MIC for carbapenem antibiotics was established for KPCs by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) (i.e., MICs 1 - 4 ug/ml are designated resistant), but these criteria have not been endorsed by the FDA. Data are needed to determine the percentage of clinical isolates with carbapenem MIC between 1 and 4 ug/ml that are truly resistant. Determining the presence of the KPC gene is important because the use of carbapenems in patients with MIC between 1- 4 ug/ml may have poor clinical outcomes. Conversely, if lacking the KPC gene, carbapenems may still be indicated. The objectives of this study were to determine the presence of the KPC gene, the carbapenem AST profiles of clinical isolates, and the resistance rates based on the previous and current CLSI criteria. This study involved 56 suspected CRE clinical isolates from Las Vegas, Nevada, which were analyzed by culture, AST, and polymerase chain reaction to detect the KPC gene. The prevalence of the blaKPC gene in our CRE isolates was 83.3%, and the prevalence was 94.7% among our Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates. Our data showed no statistically significant difference between the previous and the current CLSI criteria in defining carbapenem resistance among the Enterobacteriaceae. The results from this study helped determine the prevalence of the KPC gene and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles among CRE isolates in Las Vegas. These may be useful in improving antibiotic stewardship in Nevada.
Power Optimization, Diagnostic Monitoring, and Modeling of Photovoltaic System
Creators: name: Hurayb, Khalid
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy has been sustaining a major growth rate over the last decade in many parts of the world. This steep growth has been driven by concern about climate change, the adoption of renewable portfolio standards, government incentives, and reduction in PV system costs. Recently, however, such large PV penetration into the electrical grid is cause a concern that might curb such a growth; namely, the incontrollable intermittency of power generated on cloudy days. Furthermore, conventional PV system configurations often do not harness the maximum power that is available under partial shading caused by clouds or shadows of nearby structures. This thesis evaluates three issues related to this problem: (a) non-conventional PV system configurations that use distributed power electronics to harness maximum power under shaded and/or mismatch conditions, (b) system monitoring using Infra-Red (IR) imaging for operation and maintenance purposes, and (c) software tools that determine accurate current-voltage (IV) curves under partial shading. In the first issue above, a commercial software tool is used to compare the performance of conventional and non-conventional PV systems under mismatch and shaded conditions. In the second issue, and improved image processing method is proposed to better decide the status of PV modules in borderline cases. Finally, in the third issue, a MatLab based software tool is developed to accurately determine the shape of the I-V curve of a PV array under partial shade. The simulated curves compare well (i.e., within 3% error) with experimental data.

A Comparative Study: Utilizing Data Mining Techniques to Classify Traffic Congestion Status
Creators: name: Mirakhorli, Abbas
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Performance measure is a process of evaluating and quantifying a system. Performance measure provides us with information about how good a system is working and how well the predefined goals are met. In order to analyze the performance of a transportation system, the traffic data such as speed, volume, occupancy and travel time of the system need to be collected. These data will generate valuable historical database that can be used to develop models to improve the quality of service of transportation system. The performance measures in transportation studies can be categorized to following main groups: Congestion, Mobility, Accessibility, Reliability, Safety and Environmental. Traffic congestion is one the important issues in any transportation system. Growing congestion in urban transportation network has enforced significant economic burdens to our current society. It causes waste of time, money, fuel and energy for the commuters and consequently impacting daily life of people in the society. Based on 2011 Congested Corridors Report presented by Texas A& M Transportation Institute, traffic congestion incurred $121 billion cost for drivers. Based on this report, 5.5 billion additional hours are wasted waiting in traffic in 2011. It means $818 additional fuel and time cost for each commuter. Being aware of the status of congestion in future can help, decision makers, intelligent systems and apps improve their accuracy and help commuters in their travel routing. To achieve these goals accurate traffic status classification techniques is required. Achieving higher accuracy is still one of the influential driving factor for research in this area. The objective of this thesis is to utilize data mining techniques to classify traffic status to congested or non-congested for some point of time in future based on historical traffic parameters (Vehicle Count, Occupancy, Speed). Moreover, to compare the performance of different data mining techniques on this problem. This dissertation examined several classification techniques including J48 Decision Tree, Artificial Neural Network, Support Vector machine, PART and K-Nearest Neighborhood to classify future traffic status to Congested or Non-congested. The one minute traffic data from I-15 Northbound from I-215 up to Desert Inn, Las Vegas, NV were used to run these experiments. Based on the comparison of these algorithms, the J48 algorithm has the best performance.

description: Despite its potential reactivity due to ring strain, ethylene oxide (c-C2H4O) is a complex molecule that seems to be stable under the physical conditions of an interstellar dense core; indeed it has been detected towards several high-mass star forming regions with a column density of the order of 10e13cm-2 (Ikeda et al. 2001). To date, its observational abundances cannot be reproduced by chemical models and this may be due to the significant contribution played by its chemistry on grain surfaces. Recently, Ward and Price (2011) have performed experiments in order to investigate the surface formation of ethylene oxide starting with oxygen atoms and ethylene ice as reactants. We present a chemical model which includes the most recent experimental results from Ward and Price (2011) on the formation of c-C2H4O. We study the influence of the physical parameters of dense cores on the abundances of c-C2H4O. We verify that ethylene oxide can indeed be formed during the cold phase (when the ISM dense cores are formed), via addition of an oxygen atom across the C=C double bond of the ethylene molecule, and released by thermal desorption during the hot core phase. A qualitative comparison between our theoretical results and those from the observations shows that we are able to reproduce the abundances of ethylene oxide towards high-mass star-forming regions.

description: The purpose of this paper is the fundamental theory of the non-uniform motion of dislocations in two and three space-dimensions. We investigate the non-uniform motion of an arbitrary distribution of dislocations, a dislocation loop and straight dislocations in infinite media using the theory of incompatible elastodynamics. The equations of motion are derived for non-uniformly moving dislocations. The retarded elastic fields produced by a distribution of dislocations and the retarded dislocation tensor potentials are determined. New fundamental key-formulae for the dynamics of dislocations are derived (Jefimenko type and Heaviside-Feynman type equations of dislocations). In addition, exact closed-form solutions of the elastic fields produced by a dislocation loop are calculated as retarded line integral expressions for subsonic motion. The fields of the elastic velocity and elastic distortion surrounding the arbitrarily moving dislocation loop are given explicitly in terms of the so-called three-dimensional elastodynamic Liénard-Wiechert tensor potentials. The two-dimensional elastodynamic Liénard-Wiechert tensor potentials and the near-field approximation of the elastic fields for straight dislocations are calculated. The singularities of the near-fields of accelerating screw and edge dislocations are determined.

Siren Song: A Rhetorical Analysis of Gender and Intimate Partner Violence in Gotham City Sirens
Creators: name: Schmidt, Katlin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: This project investigates comic book discourse. Specifically, I investigate how comic narratives provide readers with an interpretation for how they should discern and assess "appropriate" behaviors for women. The artifact of analysis included in this project is DC Comics Gotham City Sirens (2009). This text features popular female superheroes, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Poison Ivy. Because comic books utilize both textual and visual means to disseminate a message, this project evaluates the visual rhetoric of these characters within the narrative. Walter Fisher's narrative paradigm is used to provide an understanding to how these visual means contribute to the meanings assigned in the narrative. Walter Fisher's narrative paradigm is used to provide an understanding to how these visual means contribute to the meanings assigned in the narrative. Using the narrative paradigm and visual rhetoric as organizing principles, I argue that Gotham City Sirens provides readers with an specific interpretation of gender expectations and gender related social issues like Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Specifically, I argue that Gotham City Sirens provides readers with an interpretation of women that upholds traditional gender expectations while also providing an interpretation to IPV that upholds prevalent socio-cultural domestic violence myths that denigrate the seriousness of the issue. In terms of gender, these characters experience a tension between their gender expectations and the expectations derived from their roles as superheroes. The way in which these characters resolve this tension influences the meanings they are assigned based on their experiences with IPV. Ultimately, Catwoman and Harley Quinn are assigned meanings of "non-victimhood" that diminish the significance of the issue and blames these women for their abuse. Superheroes have skyrocketed in popularity over the past fifteen years and their narratives are extending to individuals that are not necessarily comic readers. This cultural significance of superheroes suggests that comic books appeal to a wide audience who has the potential to be influenced, even implicitly, by these messages.

description: Feed syndication is analogous to electronic newsletters, both are aimed at delivering feeds to subscribers; the difference is that while newsletter subscription requires e-mail and exposed you to spam and security challenges, feed syndication ensures that you only get what you requested for. This paper reports a review on the state of the art of feed aggregation technology and the development of a locally hosted web based feed aggregator as a research tool using the core features of WordPress; the software was further enhanced with plugins and widgets for dynamic content publishing, database and object caching, social web syndication, back-up and maintenance, among others. The results highlight the current developments in software re-use and describes; how open source content management systems can be used for both online and offline publishing, a means whereby feed aggregator users can control and share feed data, as well as how web developers can focus on extending the features of built-in software libraries in applications rather than reinventing the wheel.

description: Computers are nonlinear dynamical systems that exhibit complex and sometimes even chaotic behavior. The models used in the computer systems community, however, are linear. This paper is an exploration of that disconnect: when linear models are adequate for predicting computer performance and when they are not. Specifically, we build linear and nonlinear models of the processor load of an Intel i7-based computer as it executes a range of different programs. We then use those models to predict the processor loads forward in time and compare those forecasts to the true continuations of the time series

StructBoost: Boosting Methods for Predicting Structured Output Variables

description: Boosting is a method for learning a single accurate predictor by linearly combining a set of less accurate weak learners. Recently, structured learning has found many applications in computer vision. Inspired by structured support vector machines (SSVM), here we propose a new boosting algorithm for structured output prediction, which we refer to as StructBoost. StructBoost supports nonlinear structured learning by combining a set of weak structured learners. As SSVM generalizes SVM, our StructBoost generalizes standard boosting approaches such as AdaBoost, or LPBoost to structured learning. The resulting optimization problem of StructBoost is more challenging than SSVM in the sense that it may involve exponentially many variables and constraints. In contrast, for SSVM one usually has an exponential number of constraints and a cutting-plane method is used. In order to efficiently solve StructBoost, we formulate an equivalent $ 1 $-slack formulation and solve it using a combination of cutting planes and column generation. We show the versatility and usefulness of StructBoost on a range of problems such as optimizing the tree loss for hierarchical multi-class classification, optimizing the Pascal overlap criterion for robust visual tracking and learning conditional random field parameters for image segmentation.

Unnormalized differences between zeros of L-functions

description: We study a subtle inequity in the distribution of unnormalized differences between imaginary parts of zeros of the Riemann zeta function. We establish a precise measure which explains the phenomenon, that the location of each Riemann zero is encoded in the distribution of large Riemann zeros. We also extend these results to zeros of more general L-functions. In particular, we show how the rank of an elliptic curve over Q is encoded in the sequences of zeros of other L-functions, not only the one associated to the curve.

Impacts of Ozone Dose and Empty Bed Contact Time on Bulk Organic Removal and Disinfection Byproduct Mitigation in Ozone-Biofiltration Systems
Creators: name: Aquino, Mayara
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: In areas where water shortages have compromised water supplies, potable reuse is a promising solution. However, additional research is needed to identify and/or optimize cost-effective treatment technologies to demonstrate compliance with potable reuse regulations. Treatment trains employing reverse osmosis (RO) and advanced oxidation, a combination known as full advanced treatment' (FAT), are required by the California Division of Drinking Water (CDDW) for surface water augmentation and direct injection of recycled water into local aquifers. A maximum concentration of 0.5 mg/L of wastewater-derived total organic carbon (TOC) is also required by CDDW in all groundwater recharge applications. This appears to be very conservative when compared to typical TOC concentrations in conventional drinking waters. Although FAT can reliably achieve the TOC benchmark, the capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs may be unattractive and even prohibitive in some applications. Previous studies have shown that ozone-biofiltration systems are less costly and energy intensive but often achieve TOC removals of only 15-30%. This hinders compliance with the CDDW TOC requirement unless significant blending ratios are achieved. However, this issue may be overcome by optimizing operational conditions (e.g., ozone dose and empty bed contact time) or by developing an alternative regulatory framework for bulk organic matter. As with conventional drinking water, the formation of disinfection byproducts (DBPs) is also a concern for potable reuse applications. When free chlorine is applied as a final disinfectant (e.g., in direct potable reuse applications), trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), among other regulated and unregulated disinfection byproducts, are formed. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulates four THMs (i.e., total THMs or TTHMs) and five haloacetic acids (i.e., the HAA5s) in drinking water at 80 and 60 ?g/L, respectively.
The purpose of this research was to investigate the impacts of ozone dose and empty bed contact time (EBCT) on DBP formation in potable reuse applications, as well as to evaluate the possibility of using DBP formation potential as an alternative regulatory framework for TOC removal. A pilot-scale ozone-biofiltration system was operated with ozone/TOC ratios ranging from 0.1-2.5 and EBCTs ranging from 1-20 minutes. The biofiltration columns contained anthracite or biological activated carbon (BAC). Bench-scale chlorination was performed using the uniform formation conditions (UFC) approach, and quenched samples were analyzed for TTHMs and HAA5s. The data demonstrated that ozone-biofiltration achieved TOC removals ranging from ~15-30%, depending on operational conditions, but biofiltration without ozone consistently achieved
