description: Within agricultural production there is tension between feeding a rapidly growing population and conserving the finite resources at the foundation of our agroecosystems. Fortunately, in recent decades there has been a growing focus on farming practices that promote long-term soil health, land productivity, and resilience to climate change. The term ‘conservation agriculture’ encompasses practices that 1) promote minimum soil disturbance, 2) maintain permanent soil cover, and 3) diversify plant species. This research evaluated several conservation agriculture practices for their ability to deliver desired agroecosystem services across the Northeastern US. In the first study, a cover crop mixture field experiment was implemented in seven states to evaluate how climatic, edaphic, and management conditions affected the performance of cover crop bicultures that included species with varying functional traits. Seeding rate recommendations for mixtures are typically developed at the regional level, thus cover crop performance is highly variable due to site-level conditions and competition among species. Our results indicated that expected spring growing degree days and baseline soil fertility (i.e., inorganic N) are the most significant variables to consider when designing site-specific cover crop mixtures. The second study assessed the effects of long-term management on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in mid-Atlantic grain cropping systems. At the time of sampling, five unique systems (two conventional, three organic) had been continuously managed for 25 years, representing a range of tillage and fertility practices and rotational complexities. Results showed SOC loss in all systems over time regardless of management, likely because of high baseline SOC stocks from long-term perennial forage production prior to research plot establishment. However, cropping systems that best maintained SOC over time included management with minimal soil disturbance, frequent manure inputs, and/or greater rotational diversity through perennial cropping or cover cropping. Both studies increase our understanding of the ability of specific conservation practices to support agroecosystem biodiversity, long term soil health, and potential carbon sequestration.

description: We demonstrate that the vortex state in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) phase may be very different depending on the field orientation relative to the crystalline axes. We calculate numerically the upper critical field near the tricritical point taking into account the modulation of the order parameter along the magnetic field as well as the higher Landau levels. For s-wave superconductors with the anisotropy described by an elliptical Fermi surface we propose a general scheme of the analysis of the angular dependence of upper critical field at all temperatures on the basis of the exact solution for the order parameter. Our results show that the transitions (with tilting magnetic field) between different types of mixed states may be a salient feature of the FFLO phase. Moreover we discuss the reasons for the first-order phase transition into the FFLO state in the case of CeCoIn5 compound.

description: Efficient energy supply is a means for people to gain access to a wide range of energy-related services. In unmet energy markets where energy supply is inadequate or lacking, such services, and the resulting benefits, are seldom attained. This has prompted research on energy transition, specifically a transition to renewable energy, to rapidly diffuse energy access in these regions. Existing energy transition frameworks are predominantly contextualised in developed economies, with little evidence of their applicability in the context of developing countries. This paper proposed an energy transition framework for the unmet electricity markets, after conducting a systematic review of the literature on energy transitions, specifically relating to sustainable transitions of electricity systems. Contextual limitations observed in the energy transition literature included market demand, scale of energy infrastructure, type of energy resource, transition duration, novelty of opportunities, and level of external influence. An energy transition framework for unmet electricity markets was subsequently conceptualised. The key characteristics of this modified transition framework are: (i) traditional technology; (ii) defunct deceleration; (iii) a niche technology curve; (iv) landscape support for niches; and (v) new regime condensation (emergence). Contextual awareness in designing policy frameworks for energy transition is essential to achieve sustainable energy for all, particularly in unmet electricity markets.

Attitudes of young adults about breastfeeding and the association of breastfeeding exposure
Creators: name: Cheryl Lynn Darby-Carlberg
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of young adults in Clark County, Nevada about breastfeeding and was a replication of part of a study by Marrone, Vogeltanz-Holm, and Holm (2008). The theory for reasoned action was used as the framework to guide the study. This theory explains deliberate behavior and how specific behaviors, such as breastfeeding, are affected by individual attitudes and social support. The research is a cross-sectional correlational study and sought to test two null hypotheses: (1) There is no association between previous exposure to breastfeeding and positive attitudes toward breastfeeding, and (2) There is no difference between male subjects and female subjects attitudes about breastfeeding. A convenience sample of 190 young adults (male and female students between the ages of 18 and 24), which is adequate to detect a statistical difference for a small effect size (.20) at .80 power, was obtained from various classes at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The research showed the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale (IIFAS) to be a valid predictor of desire to breastfeed future children in this sample.

An Ethical framework for interpreting the United States Endangered Species Act
Creators: name: Cathryn M. Elgin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2001

description: In this study I argue that a holistic approach is better than an individualistic approach for
interpreting the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA). I propose that the use of a
holistic ethical framework, based on fundamental environmental philosophy, is better in
that it more effectively fulfills the ESA's goals of species and ecosystem conservation.
Holistic ethics is based on concern for a community as a whole, while individualistic
ethics is based on concern for the individual. A holistic approach, I argue, is more
beneficial to nature than is an individualistic approach or other non-holistic approaches. I
set up basic criteria for determining the effectiveness of recovery plans for species, and I
use those criteria to review eight cases of threatened and endangered species listed under
the ESA. I conclude that holistic approaches are parallel with ecosystem management
techniques and should be used in the protection of both species and ecosystems rather
than non-holistic approaches.
A Waste assessment of the UNLV dormitories

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: The purpose of this thesis is the examine the waste stream of the UNLV dormitories to see if there is a significant amount of waste than can be diverted through a possible recycling program to lower disposal costs. Also with this data we can look at if the student monitored program in the Upper Classmen Complex dormitories is having any effect on the waste stream. This was done through a waste assessment which is where garbage is sorted and weighed by categories. This study found that 35% of the waste stream is recyclable. This data was compared to the national Municipal waste stream, where 55% of the waste was recoverable. It was also discovered that the recycling program in UCC had a noticeable effect on plastic, a nominal effect on aluminum and cardboard, and a negative effect on paper. This study is to only serve as a baseline and more research needs to be done to make any recommendations on waste disposal improvements.

description: Cancer is currently a significant therapeutic challenge and is frequently connected with numerous adverse effects. Despite many improvements in chemotherapy, oral complications are common, leading to poor quality of life and chemotherapeutic dose reduction, which impair survival. This review summarizes the most common dental complications in patients receiving chemotherapy. We mainly focus on oral mucositis as it is a major cause of dose-limiting toxicity. Furthermore, oral candidiasis, viral infections, and xerostomia will be discussed. Conclusions: preventing complications is significantly more important than treating them. All patients beginning systemic anticancer treatment should undergo a thorough oral examination and get appropriate prophylaxis.

description: We analyzed the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to study the sepsis-related outcomes in patients with Philadelphia negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). A total of 82,087 patients were included, most had essential thrombocytosis (83.7%), followed by polycythemia vera (13.7%), and primary myelofibrosis (2.6%). Sepsis was diagnosed in 15,789 (19.2%) patients and their mortality rate was higher than nonseptic patients (7.5% vs 1.8%; p < .001). Sepsis was the most significant risk factor of mortality (aOR, 3.84; 95% CI, 3.51–4.21), others included liver disease (aOR, 2.42; 95% CI, 2.11–2.78), pulmonary embolism (aOR, 2.26; 95% CI, 1.83–2.80), cerebrovascular disease (aOR, 2.05; 95% CI, 1.81–2.33), and myocardial infarction (aOR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.52–1.96).

description: This paper develops an innovative sustainable energy investment planning framework to select the most economically viable option among a range of conceptual micro-grid (MG) projects proposed to be implemented in an area, as well as the sizes of the associated components. It is assumed that the technical feasibility of a project is verified in advance based on the estimation of the potentials of renewable energy sources. Since the considered optimal capacity planning problem is not amenable to exact methods of optimization due to its non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) nature, metaheuristic optimization algorithms (MHOAs) are used in the devised optimum sizing approach. We demonstrate the applicability and efficacy of the proposed modelling framework based on three representative MGs in different topologies. The efficiencies of four newly introduced MHOAs viz. the moth-flame optimization algorithm, the sine-cosine algorithm, the multi-verse optimizer, and the water evaporation optimization algorithm are examined in solving the considered problem, whilst the hybrid genetic algorithm-particle swarm optimization is chosen as the benchmark algorithm. The simulation results indicate that the MFOA yields the highest quality solution sets in solving the MG design problems, and provides the most accurate estimate of the life-cycle costs of the MGs.

description: Mathematisches Argumentieren ist eine zentrale Kompetenz, die auch bereits Kin-der im Primarschulalter erwerben sollten. Der Beitrag befasst sich mit der Frage, wie Lernende der dritten Jahrgangsstufe mündlich mathematisch argumentieren. Dazu wurde eine Begründungsaufgabe von zehn Lernenden des dritten Schuljah-res in Einzelinterviews bearbeitet. Die mündlichen Begründungen wurden mit ei-nem Kodierleitfaden analysiert. Die Ergebnisse legen zum einen nahe, dass auch Grundschulkinder mathematisch korrekt und reichhaltig argumentieren können, wenn sie die Argumentationen mündlich präsentieren können. Zum anderen zei-gen sie, dass in mündlichen Situationen eine Vielzahl von weiteren Mitteln genutzt werden, um mathematisch zu argumentieren. Aufgrund dieser Ergebnisse schla-gen wir für den Mathematikunterricht vor, dass v.a. jüngere und sprachlich schwache Lernende die Möglichkeit erhalten sollten, ihre Argumentationskompe-tenz mündlich zur Performanz bringen zu dürfen.

description: In this paper, the purity of quantum states is applied to probe chaotic dissipative dynamics. To achieve this goal, a comparative analysis of regular and chaotic regimes of nonlinear dissipative oscillator (NDO) are performed on the base of excitation number and the purity of oscillatory states. While the chaotic regime is identified in our semiclassical approach by means of strange attractors in Poincaré section and with the Lyapunov exponent, the state in the quantum regime is treated via the Wigner function. Specifically, interesting quantum purity effects that accompany the chaotic dynamics are elucidated in this paper for NDO system driven by either: (i) a time-modulated field, or (ii) a sequence of pulses with Gaussian time-dependent envelopes.

description: We are going back to the roots of the original solar neutrino problem: analysis of data from solar neutrino experiments. The application of standard deviation analysis (SDA) and diffusion entropy analysis (DEA) to the SuperKamiokande I and II data reveals that they represent a non-Gaussian signal. The Hurst exponent is different from the scaling exponent of the probability density function and both Hurst exponent and scaling exponent of the probability density function of the SuperKamiokande data deviate considerably from the value of 0.5 which indicates that the statistics of the underlying phenomenon is anomalous. To develop a road to the possible interpretation of this finding we utilize Mathai's pathway model and consider fractional reaction and fractional diffusion as possible explanations of the non-Gaussian content of the SuperKamiokande data.

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1999

description: A 100 meter X 100 meter study site was chosen at White Rock Springs in Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Nevada. To examine Syntrichia caninervis, a desert crustal moss, reciprocal transplantations (20 mm and 40 mm diameter cores) were performed between shaded to shaded, exposed to exposed, and shaded to exposed microsites to determine if it was possible to transplant the study organism with reasonable survivorship. Transplants were inspected following rain events for percent hydration, number of dead stems, and change in percent cover. Data indicated that there was a low mortality rate of S. caninervis stems, and few transplants reduced in percent cover over the course of the year-long study. Therefore, it was determined that cores of S. caninervis are able to be reciprocally transplanted. Also, microhabitat conditions and core size do not significantly effect transplantation success.

Examination of the Bureau of Land Management's implementation of the Wild, Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act at Red Rock National Conservation Area
Creators: name: Christine E. Brehm
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2000

description: For unknown reasons horses went extinct on the North American
continent approximately ten thousand years ago and were subsequently
reintroduced by Spanish settlers in the 1400's. As European settlers
moved westward, horses were perceived as competition for grasslands
and their numbers were curtailed. Wild horses were granted Federal
protection in 1959 with the passage of the 'Wild Horse Annie' law and
further protected with the passage of the Wild, Free-Roaming Horse and
Burro Act of 1971. Through the Department of the Interior, the Bureau of
Land Management was charged with management of wild horses on
public lands. Physical searches of Bureau of Land Management files were
conducted to determine if Bureau of Land Management officials were
adhering to the tenents of the Wild, Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act
with respect to the Red Rock Herd Management Area. It was discovered
that records pertaining to management of the Red Rock herds were
incomplete and erratic. Three areas of focus are examined, population,
health, and education. It was determined that Bureau of Land
Management has conducted population counts, but not as required by the
Act. Herd health records have not been kept, and no educational facilities
or programs have as of yet been undertaken. Although Bureau of Land
Management has been managing the Red Rock herds, its level of
adherence to the Wild, Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act cannot be
documented.

Fish population dynamics during the establishment phase of a constructed wetland
Creators: name: Danielle Alegre
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: The Wetlands Park Nature Preserve in Clark County Nevada is a constructed wetland that is home to several species of fish. The purpose of this study is to report on the fluctuations of the fish populations during the first 20 months of monitoring at the Wetlands Park Nature Preserve. This thesis analyzes the fish monitoring data in order to assess the behavior of the fish population of the Wetlands Preserve. As the environment at the Wetland has changed during its initial establishment, so has the fish population. Using data collected during the monthly monitoring protocol from June 2001 to January of 2003, I will describe fluctuations in fish trap numbers in order to reveal behaviors in fish such as predator-prey relationships, species mating patterns, and the general behavior of the fish population at the WPNP. This research will be useful for WPNP managers and future authors, as there is very little information about the dynamics of fish populations in constructed wetlands in arid regions.

description: The aim of providing affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all requires an in-depth understanding of the issues that affect energy access and energy fuel choice, particularly as related to urban informal settlements or slums. Within unequal societies, such as South Africa, a reliance on technical solutions to address access and inequality is inadequate, leading to resistance and protest. Further, introduction of a technical solution – such as solar PV - to address energy access in urban informal settlements, is a complex process, and requires a systems thinking perspective. Using Community Based System Dynamics modelling, this paper therefore investigated the issues that affect energy fuel choice and energy access as related to the introduction of a renewable energy solution in Enkanini informal settlement. Different energy user groups were engaged in the identification of the factors that affect energy access and energy fuel choice; the relationships between these factors in order to improve future interventions; and development of causal loop diagrams to visualise the key feedback loops. The identified factors were economic and market related such as affordability, availability, and land ownership but also included a range of socio-political aspects. 17 feedback loops emerged, of which 13 were reinforcing loops, and 4 were balancing loops. The key feedback loops relate to community empowerment and representation, whilst participation in the political process and the quest for legitimacy through direct electricity connections were recognised as broader issues to be addressed.

description: The NIH-funded Clinical Genome Resource Consortium Variant Curation Interface (ClinGen VCI) is a global, open-source variant classification platform for supporting the application of evidence criteria and classification of variants based on the ACMG/AMP sequence variant classification guidelines. To facilitate evidence-based improvements in human variant classification, the VCI is publicly available to the worldwide genomics community. The VCI is among a suite of tools developed by ClinGen, and supports the FDA-recognized human variant curation process of ClinGen Variant Curation Expert Panels (VCEPs). ClinGen is expanding to involve more curators and teams of curators (affiliations) working today as part of an increasing scale of activities that will increase genetic variant curations across a greater number of genes. The variant curation workflow is intended to support dissemination of variant curations into two repositories: the ClinGen Evidence Repository (for approved ClinGen VCEPs) and ClinVar. Support for dissemination of curations into the Evidence Repository from the VCI is an API-driven process via the ClinGen Data Exchange; however, ClinVar submission from the VCI has been largely manual to date.
 Here we present the first in a series of planned software features to provide a better ClinVar submission experience for VCI users. This batch submission feature allows users to create an active batch of curated variants and then download a preformatted file of the curation data, which can easily be submitted to ClinVar. This provides a faster process for users submitting variant interpretations to ClinVar. It also allows VCI users to annotate which of their curations have been submitted to ClinVar. Future feature plans for ClinVar submission from the VCI include providing VCI users with real-time feedback on the status of their ClinVar submissions, as well as direct API-based submissions from the VCI. These features together will further streamline workflows for both ClinGen VCEPs and non-ClinGen VCI users, and further the ClinGen goal of creating scalable curation workflows to support the clinical genomics community.

description: South Africa's political history, unique demographic profile, and economic growth drivers, present a challenge in adopting universal strategies and business models to plan for the impact of battery electric vehicles in the residential sector. This paper investigated battery electric vehicle (BEV) substitution of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) on a provincial level, to better plan for additional electricity requirements. This was achieved by developing the E-StratBEV model, using system dynamics. The model results show that nationally, although the Low Growth scenario indicates about 233,700 BEVs by 2040, the adjusted number (based on the spending behaviour within deciles) may result in 44,155 BEVs while the High Growth scenario's expected 2.39 million BEVs by 2040 could be adjusted down to 451,736 BEVs. For a coal heavy supply mix, the cumulative carbon emissions from 2019 until 2040 resulted in negligible benefits, so provinces may not be able to leverage on passenger electric vehicles to reduce provincial environmental emissions. Lastly, the BEV growth drivers introduced an additional 1589 BEVs to the Low Growth scenario and an additional 16,257 BEVs to the High Growth targets from 2019 to 2040, with the purchase price being the dominant driver.
Effect of attractions on correlation length scales in a glass-forming liquid

description: There is growing evidence that slow dynamics and dynamic heterogeneity possess structural signatures in glass-forming liquids. However, even in the weakly frustrated glass-forming liquids, whether or not the dynamic heterogeneity has a structural origin is a matter of debate. Via molecular dynamics simulation, we present a study of examining the connection between dynamic heterogeneity and bond orientational order in a weakly frustrated glass-forming liquid in two dimensions by taking advantage of assessing the effect of attractions on the correlation length scales. We find that attractions can strongly affect relaxation dynamics, dynamic heterogeneity and the associated dynamic correlation length of the liquid, but their influence on bond orientational order and the associated static correlation length shows a manner reminiscent of the effect of attractions on the thermodynamics of liquids. This implies that the growth of bond orientational order and static correlation length scale might be merely a manifestation of favoring the configurational entropy in weakly frustrated glass-forming liquids. Thus, our results lead strong evidence that bond orientational order cannot provide a complete description of dynamic heterogeneity even in weakly frustrated glass-forming systems.

Limiting growth in Las Vegas - a necessary growth strategy for the twenty-first century
Creators: name: Cheryl Frassa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1995

description: Land development in the Las Vegas Valley continues at an
unprecedented rate and future growth will no doubt be strongly
advocated. Yet, water resources in this desert area are
finite, and in the near future, supply will fall short of
demand. Plans are underway to supplement the existing supply,
and proposals to secure additional sources are under
investigation. But there are no guarantees these ambitious
endeavors will materialize. In light of the pending water
crisis, the pervasive "growth at all cost" policies now
dominant in the valley must be abandoned and more realistic
land-use policies developed; ones based on the most critical
necessity for Las Vegas - water.

A Study of invasive species cover near roads in a Red Rock Canyon Blackbrush Community
Creators: name: Christopher Keough
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2004

description: The monitoring of Mojave Desert plant communities during and following disturbance is an important process that could provide invaluable information about disturbance/recovery regimes in similar arid environments across the globe. Blackbrush communities are of particular interest because of their low replacement rate, which makes them highly susceptible to disturbance. Roads in the Mojave Desert have been associated with soil compaction resulting in a lack of vegetation as well as an increase in invasive species cover in the immediate proximity. To investigate these statements, eight fifty-foot line transects were established in each of three plot types (perpendicular to dirt roads, perpendicular to single-track roads, and controls) in Red Rock Canyon, NV. Two questions were posed of this study: 1) Is percent invasive species cover greater on transects in proximity to roads or on transects situated in undisturbed areas? 2) Does distance from a road influence invasive species cover? SPSS for Windows was used to conduct cross-tabulation tests in order to establish points of statistical significance (p<0.05). Results reveal that both invasive and endemic species cover is greater in undisturbed plots. Furthermore, three cross-tabulation tests reveal that a statistical relationship indeed exists between endemic/invasive species and proximity to a road. Examination of the cross-tabulation output reveals that 37.6% of all invasive species encountered in road transects occurred within ten feet of the road. Future investigations of the ecological impacts of roads should include fully developed roads and also account for bare ground as a disturbance impact equal to that of invasive species.
