description: For statistical systems that violate one of the four Shannon-Khinchin axioms, entropy takes a more general form than the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. The framework of superstatistics allows one to formulate a maximum entropy principle with these generalized entropies, making them useful for understanding distribution functions of non-Markovian or non-ergodic complex systems. For such systems where the composability axiom is violated there exist only two ways to implement the maximum entropy principle, one using escort probabilities, the other not. The two ways are connected through a duality. Here we show that this duality fixes a unique escort probability, which allows us to derive a complete theory of the generalized logarithms that naturally arise from the violation of this axiom. We then show how the functional forms of these generalized logarithms are related to the asymptotic scaling behavior of the entropy.

Rayleigh-Taylor Instability in a Relativistic Fireball on a Moving Computational Grid

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We numerically calculate the growth and saturation of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability caused by the deceleration of relativistic outflows with Lorentz factor Γ = 10, 30, and 100. The instability generates turbulence whose scale exhibits strong dependence on Lorentz factor, as only modes with angular size smaller than 1/Γ can grow. We develop a simple diagnostic to measure the kinetic energy in turbulent fluctuations, and calculate a ratio of turbulent kinetic energy to thermal energy of .03 in the region affected by the instability. Although our numerical calculation does not include magnetic fields, we argue that small scale turbulent dynamo amplifies magnetic fields to nearly this same fraction, giving a ratio of magnetic to thermal energy of ~ .01, to within a factor of two. The instability completely disrupts the contact discontinuity between the ejecta and the swept up circumburst medium. The reverse shock is stable, but is impacted by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, which strengthens the reverse shock and pushes it away from the forward shock. The forward shock front is unaffected by the instability, but Rayleigh-Taylor fingers can penetrate of order 10% of the way into the energetic region behind the shock during the two-shock phase of the explosion. We calculate afterglow emission from the explosion and find the reverse shock emission peaks at a later time due to its reduced Lorentz factor and modified density and pressure at the shock front. These calculations are performed using a novel numerical technique that includes a moving computational grid. The moving grid is essential as it maintains contact discontinuities to high precision and can easily evolve flows with extremely large Lorentz factors.

A Visualization approach for message passing in parallel computing systems
Creators: name: Sadasivan, Arunkumar
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Information Visualization has been used as an effective method in transforming textual information into a visual form that enables users to effectively communicate and understand the information. MPI (Message Passing Interface) usually involves a large amount of data, which necessitates exploring innovative ideas to visualize such data effectively.

In this thesis, we implement a graph visualization tool called MPROV to effectively visualize communication patterns of message passing using log files from MPI applications. The tool provides several interaction techniques to effectively reduce the amount of data displayed on the screen. We have also developed protocol conformance checking, which verifies the correctness of the communication by using a protocol specification file containing a list of constraints. Finally, we test our application with different log files containing a list of communication patterns and also at different strictness level that the messages should conform to based on the protocol constraints.

description: We consider a one-dimensional lattice of atoms with laser excitation to a Rydberg state and spontaneous emission. The atoms are coupled due to the dipole-dipole interaction of the Rydberg states. This driven-dissipative system has a broad range of non-equilibrium phases, such as antiferromagnetic ordering and bistability. Using the quantum trajectory method, we calculate the spatial correlation function throughout the parameter space for up to 20 lattice sites. We show that bistability significantly strengthens the spatial correlations and entanglement.

The Environmental and economic benefits of highway access management: A multivariate analysis using system dynamics
Creators: name: Andersen, Dan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2008

description: Better management of highway operations can be achieved, in part, by controlling vehicular access to adjacent properties and cross streets. This tactic, referred to as access management, has proven safety and operational benefits. However, doubts remain regarding its environmental and economic benefits.
I hypothesize that one environmental indicator, carbon emissions, will decrease with proper access management. Controlling access increases the speed at which vehicles travel, improving fuel efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. My hypothesis relative to financial impacts is that access management will neither help nor harm businesses. Controlling access can reduce travel time which has the effect of increasing the size of the market area for businesses located on that roadway, thereby increasing their customer base. This benefit may be off-set by the loss of some customers who are inconvenienced by limited access.
I used a system dynamics approach to test these hypotheses, following these five steps: articulate the problem, formulate a dynamic hypothesis, develop a simulation model, validate the model, and use it to evaluate policy options for addressing the problem. The model shows that the amount of carbon emitted per vehicle mile traveled decreases 0.25% with better access control. While this is a small amount, it equates to a 185 kg/day reduction in carbon emissions along one sample roadway segment, and over 5,000 metric tons per year from the entire Las Vegas Valley. The model helps us to understand how access management impacts adjacent businesses, however the degree to which they are impacted is inconclusive. In order to accurately model these impacts we need better data on the portion of customers that would be deterred from visiting a business because of reduced access.

description: In this work, we identify carbodiimide (HNCNH), which is an isomer of the well-known interstellar species cyanamide (NH2CN), in weak maser emission, using data from the GBT PRIMOS survey toward Sgr B2(N). All spectral lines observed are in emission and have energy levels in excess of 170 K, indicating that the molecule likely resides in relatively hot gas that characterizes the denser regions of this star forming region. The anticipated abundance of this molecule from ice mantle experiments is ~10% of the abundance of NH2CN, which in Sgr B2(N) corresponds to ~2 x 10^13 cm-2. Such an abundance results in transition intensities well below the detection limit of any current astronomical facility and, as such, HNCNH could only be detected by those transitions which are amplified by masing.

description: We give an equivalent definition of the local volume of an isolated singularity Vol_{BdFF}(X,0) given in [BdFF12] in the Q-Gorenstein case and we generalize it to the non-Q-Gorenstein case. We prove that there is a positive lower bound depending only on the dimension for the non-zero local volume of an isolated singularity if X is Gorenstein. We also give a non-Q-Gorenstein example with Vol_{BdFF}(X,0)=0, which does not allow a boundary Δsuch that the pair (X,Δ) is log canonical.

description: In this paper we provide a connection between the geometrical properties of a chaotic dynamical system and the distribution of extreme values. We show that the extremes of so-called physical observables are distributed according to the classical generalised Pareto distribution and derive explicit expressions for the scaling and the shape parameter. In particular, we derive that the shape parameter does not depend on the chosen observables, but only on the partial dimensions of the invariant measure on the stable, unstable, and neutral manifolds. The shape parameter is negative and is close to zero when high-dimensional systems are considered. This result agrees with what was derived recently using the generalized extreme value approach. Combining the results obtained using such physical observables and the properties of the extremes of distance observables, it is possible to derive estimates of the partial dimensions of the attractor along the stable and the unstable directions of the flow. Moreover, by writing the shape parameter in terms of moments of the extremes of the considered observable and by using linear response theory, we relate the sensitivity to perturbations of the shape parameter to the sensitivity of the moments, of the partial dimensions, and of the Kaplan-Yorke dimension of the attractor. Preliminary numerical investigations provide encouraging results on the applicability of the theory presented here. The results presented here do not apply for all combinations of Axiom A systems and observables, but the breakdown seems to be related to very special geometrical configurations.

Hypercyclic subspaces on Fréchet spaces without continuous norm

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)

description: Known results about hypercyclic subspaces concern either Fréchet spaces with a continuous norm or the space ω. We fill the gap between these spaces by investigating Fréchet spaces without continuous norm. To this end, we divide hypercyclic subspaces into two types: the hypercyclic subspaces M for which there exists a continuous seminorm p such that M\cap \ker p=\{0\} and the others. For each of these types of hypercyclic subspaces, we establish some criteria. This investigation permits us to generalize several results about hypercyclic subspaces on Fréchet spaces with a continuous norm and about hypercyclic subspaces on ω. In particular, we show that each infinite-dimensional separable Fréchet space supports a mixing operator with a hypercyclic subspace.

description: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is an important emerging virus that is highly pathogenic in aged populations and is maintained with great diversity in zoonotic reservoirs. While a variety of vaccine platforms have shown efficacy in young-animal models and against homologous viral strains, vaccine efficacy has not been thoroughly evaluated using highly pathogenic variants that replicate the acute end stage lung disease phenotypes seen during the human epidemic. Using an adjuvanted and an unadjuvanted double-inactivated SARS-CoV (DIV) vaccine, we demonstrate an eosinophilic immunopathology in aged mice comparable to that seen in mice immunized with the SARS nucleocapsid protein, and poor protection against a nonlethal heterologous challenge. In young and 1-year-old animals, we demonstrate that adjuvanted DIV vaccine provides protection against lethal disease in young animals following homologous and heterologous challenge, although enhanced immune pathology and eosinophilia are evident following heterologous challenge. In the absence of alum, DIV vaccine performed poorly in young animals challenged with lethal homologous or heterologous strains. In contrast, DIV vaccines (both adjuvanted and unadjuvanted) performed poorly in aged-animal models. Importantly, aged animals displayed increased eosinophilic immune pathology in the lungs and were not protected against significant virus replication. These data raise significant concerns regarding DIV vaccine safety and highlight the need for additional studies of the molecular mechanisms governing DIV-induced eosinophilia and vaccine failure, especially in the more vulnerable aged-animal models of human disease.

title: Thinking outside the boxes: barriers to inclusion for persons with physical impairments in higher education
Creators: name: Wunschel, Robert Timothy
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2011

description:
Since passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 the participation rate of students with physical impairments in higher education has remained static or declined. Though a number of potential issues have been identified most research tends to focus on classrooms, building interiors, and technology rather than exterior landscapes and fiscal policies that treat all students the same way. Most studies have also lacked theoretical rigor, relying instead on models of disability and statistics to explain their data, rather than on an extensive body of community based, multidisciplinary studies employing urban theories of space and place. Using space and place theory as a template and critical discourse analysis to examine data collected from two comparable mid-sized Washington State public universities the author has attempted to expose some of the underlying dominant and minority discourses concerning exterior barriers to inclusion for persons with physical impairments in higher education by placing these issues in historical context while fully encasing them within urban anthropology and contemporary urban studies of architecture, geography, sociology, and disability.

Exact analytical expressions are obtained in the absence of correlations, showing that the self-diffusion can exceed the transport diffusion if the free-energy function is concave. The effect of correlations is elucidated by comparison with numerical results. Quantitative agreement is obtained with recent experimental data for diffusion in a nanoporous zeolitic imidazolate framework material, ZIF-8.

description: This paper describes the data preprocessing and reduction methods together with SLODAR analysis and wind profiling techniques for GeMS: the Gemini MCAO System. The wavefront gradient measurements of the five GeMS's Shack-Hartmann sensors, each one pointing to a laser guide star, are combined with the DM commands sent to three deformable mirrors optically conjugated at 0, 4.5 and 9 km in order to reconstruct pseudo-open loop slopes. These pseudo-open loop slopes are then used to reconstruct atmospheric turbulence profiles, based on the SLODAR and wind-profiling methods. We introduce the SLODAR method, and how it has been adapted to work in a close-loop, multi Laser Guide Star system. We show that our method allows characterizing the turbulence of up to 16 layers for altitudes spanning from 0 to 19 km. The data preprocessing and reduction methods are described, and results obtained from observations made in 2011 are presented. The wind profiling analysis is shown to be a powerful technique not only for characterizing the turbulence intensity, wind direction and speed, but also as it can provide a verification tool for SLODAR results. Finally, problems such as fratricide effect in multiple laser system due to Rayleigh scattering, centroid gain variations, and limitations of the method are also addressed.

Evaluating the effectiveness of simulation-based instruction about water resources in Las Vegas
Creators: name: Fincher, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2004

description: This study compared the effectiveness of simulation-based instruction to traditional teacher-directed instruction about water resource management in Las Vegas. Subjects, undergraduate students recruited from Psychology and Environmental Studies departments, participated in one of two treatments. All participants were given a pretest prior to instruction, a post-test immediately following instruction, and a retention-test 4 weeks after instruction. Evaluation instruments provided overall scores, gauged student learning in topic areas and different question difficulty-levels as well as attitudes toward the environment and water management. The treatments differed only in how students interacted with the system after receiving background information on Las Vegas valleys water issues. Students in the traditional group used a lecture format presentation of graphed results to show affects of changes to the system, while the students in the simulation-based group manipulated the interface of a model to explore variables and effect. The hypothesis was that students in simulation-based groups would outperform traditional groups in overall scores on post- and retention tests, and specifically on scores for conceptual and understanding questions. Additionally, all participants were expected to increase in attitudes, with the simulation treatment having stronger, more positive attitudes after treatment than the traditional treatment. Results did not support the main hypothesis, showing no significant difference between the two treatment groups for overall scores or other factors, within treatments, such as age, sex, and time of day. However, there was a significant difference between majors for scores on pretest and post-test, but learning (difference between pre- and post-test) was not significantly different for these groups. These results suggest that participants increase scores in a certain ratio regardless of treatment or current knowledge. There was a significant increase in attitudes from pretest to post-test for all students but simulation-users were not significantly higher than traditional groups. Although the hypothesis was not supported, unanticipated variables introduced during treatment and disproportionate distribution of subgroups among treatments made it difficult to ensure unbiased groups. Despite problems with the study design, it was concluded that all students learned no matter the treatment. Therefore, this simulation-based instruction treatment is at least as effective as traditional methods

Creators: name: Oliveira, Stephen M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2005

description: Gila seminuda, a native endangered species, and Oreochromis aureus, a nonnative invasive species, share the same habitat in the form of the Reid Gardner Power Plant intake ponds. The purpose of this study is to characterize the feeding habits of Oreochromis aureus within the Reid Gardner Power Plant intake ponds and address the potential predation habits of Oreochromis aureus. Stomach contents of O. aureus were identified and analyzed using chi-square and log-likelihood ratio techniques, with respect to mass, length, girth, gender, or spatial distribution of samples. Results showed omnivorous behavior with a 7.00% predatory/prey relationship, and no difference of feeding habits in relation to any of the examined parameters.
A Grounded theory approach to facultys perspective and patterns of online social presence

description: The purpose of this research study was to generate a grounded theory regarding the patterns and perceptions of nursing faculty in the formation of social processes in an online course. Employing a grounded theory approach, this researcher built upon the theoretical concepts of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000). The CoI model illustrates the inner workings of the educational experience. The model consists of three main components: social presence, teaching presence, and cognitive presence. These three elements overlap to demonstrate how each factor influences the other forms of presence. This study sought to better understand the overlap of social presence and teaching presence that the model authors distinguished as climate factors.

To explore the underpinnings of climate factors, this researcher interviewed online master's level nurse educators, observed their online courses, and examined their course syllabi for creation of social presence. From the data emerged a substantive theory: humanizing was found to be the climate factor central to establishing social presence. Humanizing the course climate leads each member of the community to see the other members as real, thus enabling the establishment of online social presence.

With the establishment of the core climate factor humanizing, there emerged theoretical concepts describing the patterns and perceptions of faculty initiating and maintaining online social presence. These theoretical concepts included faculty patterns: cyber role modeling, maintenance, and awareness. The faculty perceptions included: meaningful socialization, facilitate connections, and student control. Lastly, the faculty described a combination of pattern and perception, lifelines, to help students stay attached to the learning community.

These findings suggest that faculty found value in creating a climate where the individual was acknowledged and made a prominent
center-point of the course. Implications of this research resonate with the CoI model. By having a greater understanding of this area within the model, researchers can begin to quantify the level of humanizing within a course and establish best practices of climate creation for an online course.

description: MapReduce has become a popular programming model for running data intensive applications on the cloud. Completion time goals or deadlines of MapReduce jobs set by users are becoming crucial in existing cloud-based data processing environments like Hadoop. There is a conflict between the scheduling MR jobs to meet deadlines and "data locality" (assigning tasks to nodes that contain their input data). To meet the deadline a task may be scheduled on a node without local input data for that task causing expensive data transfer from a remote node. In this paper, a novel scheduler is proposed to address the above problem which is primarily based on the dynamic resource reconfiguration approach. It has two components: 1) Resource Predictor: which dynamically determines the required number of Map/Reduce slots for every job to meet completion time guarantee; 2) Resource Reconfigurator: that adjusts the CPU resources while not violating completion time goals of the users by dynamically increasing or decreasing individual VMs to maximize data locality and also to maximize the use of resources within the system among the active jobs. The proposed scheduler has been evaluated against Fair Scheduler on virtual cluster built on a physical cluster of 20 machines. The results demonstrate a gain of about 12% increase in throughput of Jobs

title: Seeking Further Education:  A Rubric for Evaluating Organizational Behavior PhD Programs
Creators: name: Quist, Douglas M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The objective of this study is to first understand the origins and history of organizational behavior. In addition, this study will analyze five organizational behavior programs at the following schools: Harvard, Stanford, Purdue, Cornell, and University of Utah. These schools have highly publicized marketing programs and range in their business school rankings. The rubric will serve many functions but will primarily use as a guide for acquiring a greater understanding of said programs. There is a plethora of information available and this study will organize and simplify such information from five universities. Looking at programs side by side will help those seeking future PhD’s distinguish between schools that offer that which is of most importance to them. “In terms of competitive market structure three broad factors stand out: (a) price, (b) institutional quality, prestige or reputation, and (c) convenience or geographic location” (Webb et al., 1997). All three of these factors will be addressed in the rubric system. The rubric will assess each of the six Academic institutions according to the following Criteria: 1. areas of research interest, 2. tuition costs/stipends, 3. faculty, 4. admissions, 5. requirements, 6. location/cost of living, 7. current students, 8. rankings, 9. teaching vs. research institutions, 10. job placement.
Determining sample alignment in X-ray Reflectometry using thickness and density from GaAs/AlAs multilayer certified reference materials

description: X-ray reflectometry (XRR) provides researchers and manufacturers with a non-destructive way to determine thickness, roughness, and density of thin films deposited on smooth substrates. Due to the nested nature of equations modeling this phenomenon, the inter-relation between instrument alignment and parameter estimation accuracy is somewhat opaque. In this study, we intentionally shift incident angle information contained in a high-quality XRR data set and refine this shifted data using an identical structural model to assess the effect angle misalignment has on parameter estimation. We develop a series of calibration curves relating data misalignment to variation with layer thickness and density for a multilayer GaAs/AlAs Certified Reference Material on a GaAs substrate. We then test the validity and robustness of several approaches of using known thickness and density parameters from this structure to calibrate instrument alignment. We find the highest sensitivity to and linearity with measurement misalignment from buried AlAs and GaAs layers, in contrast to the surface layers, which show the most instability. This is a fortuitous result, as buried AlAs and GaAs exhibit the highest long-term stability in thickness. Therefore, it is indeed possible to use reference thickness estimates to validate XRR angle alignment accuracy. Buried layer mass density information also shows promise as a robust calibration approach. This is suprising, as electron density of buried layers is both a highly-correlated phenomenon, and a subtle component in the XRR model.

Singlet Fermionic Dark Matter and the Electroweak Phase Transition

description: We consider a model with a gauge singlet Dirac fermion as a cold dark matter candidate. The dark matter particle communicates with the Standard Model via a gauge singlet scalar mediator that couples to the Higgs. The scalar mediator also serves to create a tree-level barrier in the scalar potential which leads to a strongly first order electroweak phase transition as required for Electroweak Baryogenesis. We find a large number of models that can account for all the dark matter and provide a strong phase transition while avoiding constraints from dark matter direct detection, electroweak precision data, and the latest Higgs data from the LHC. The next generation of direct detection experiments could rule out a large region of the parameter space but can be evaded in some regions when the Higgs-singlet mixing is very small.
