title: Calculating risk change with management actions using Bayesian networks for the South River, Virginia, USA
Creators: name: Johns, Annie Franklin
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
Ecological managers often implement one or more management options to manage risk without the direct integration of a quantitative risk assessment and evaluation of management alternatives. Throughout the decision making process a manager should consider multiple stressors as well as stressor interactions and the resulting effects. In my study, I used Bayesian networks in a relative risk assessment model framework (BN-RRM) to integrate two management options into existing risk assessment models for biotic endpoints and water quality endpoints in the mercury contaminated site, South River, VA. The two management options assessed were agricultural best management practices (BMPs) and bank stabilization. The primary management goal expressed by managers is "no regrets." In other words, managers do not want to make the site worse in any way, such as reducing mercury levels at the detriment of habitat, loss of other species, degradation of water quality, or other environmental parameters. The Bayesian networks represent the expected effects of a management option and the potential for unintended consequences. Agricultural BMPs did not change the skew of the risk distributions, but aligns with the "no regrets" management focus because risk did not increase. Bank stabilization management shifted the risk distribution for smallmouth bass so that there was greater likelihood of zero risk. The risk distribution for the water quality-fishing endpoint changed because likelihood of medium and high risk increased. If bank stabilization is implemented without consideration of Belted Kingfisher nests, there was 100% likelihood of high risk to the Kingfisher. My research provides South River managers with a tool that describes how management options are expected to change risk to biotic and water quality endpoints. Adaptive management for the South River is a long-term process. The BN-RRM models can be updated with new monitoring data to inform future management decisions.

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We discuss rescaling limits for sequences of complex rational maps in one variable which approach infinity in parameter space.It is shown that any given sequence of maps of degree $d \ge 2$ has at most $2d-2$ dynamically distinct rescaling limits which are not postcritically finite. For quadratic rational maps, a complete description of the possible rescaling limits is given. These results are obtained employing tools from non-Archimedean dynamics.

Low frequency radio-FIR correlation in normal galaxies at ~1 kpc scales

description: We study the radio--FIR correlation between the nonthermal (synchrotron) radio continuum emission at λ90 cm (333 MHz) and the far infrared emission due to cool (~20 K) dust at λ70μm in spatially resolved normal galaxies at scales of ~1 kpc. The slope of the radio--FIR correlation significantly differs between the arm and interarm regions. However, this change is not evident at a lower wavelength of λ20 cm (1.4 GHz). We find the slope of the correlation in the arm to be 0.8 \pm 0.12 and we use this to determine the coupling between equipartition magnetic field (B_{eq}) and gas density (ρ_{gas}) as B_{eq} \propto ρ_{gas}^{0.51 \pm 0.12}. This is close to what is predicted by MHD simulations of turbulent ISM, provided the same region produces both the radio and far infrared emission. We argue that at 1 kpc scales this condition is satisfied for radio emission at 1.4 GHz and may not be satisfied at 333 MHz. Change of slope observed in the interarm region could be caused by propagation of low energy (~1.5 GeV) and long lived (~ 10^8 yr) cosmic ray electrons at 333 MHz.

description: Spin-orbit (SO) coupling has led to numerously exciting phenomena in electron systems, for instance, the recently discovered topological insulator. The synthesized SO coupling with ultracold neutral atoms opens a new avenue of quantum simulation, and gives us an opportunity to study SO coupling in bosonic systems. Indeed, SO coupling leads to many new phenomena of boson superfluidity and various condensate phases that spontaneously break different symmetries. A richer structure of symmetry breaking always results in a nontrivial finite-temperature phase diagram. While the thermodynamics of the SO coupled Bose gas at finite temperature is still unknown either in theory or experiment. In this work, we experimentally generate the SO coupling in ultracold Rb-87 gas to explore in a large temperature range and get most key features. We discover a novel phase transition between the stripe ordered phase and the magnetized phase, which is reminiscent of temperature-driven transition from the B phase to the A phase in super- fluid Helium-3 and from spin-density-wave to spin nematic transition in iron pnictide. We also observe that the magnetic phase transition and the Bose condensate transition occur simultaneously as temperature decreases. Our work determines the entire finite-temperature phase diagram of SO coupled Bose gas and further demonstrate the power of quantum simulation.

description: We analyze the dynamics of structural transitions between normal right-handed B form and unusual left-handed Z form for a linear DNA molecule. The dynamics under the external torque in physiological buffer is modeled by a Langevin equation, with the potential term given by the authors previously [Phys. Rev. E 84, 021926 (2011)]. With this model, we first simulate the relaxation processes around B-form structure after sudden changes of the external torques, where slow relaxation $\sim t^{-1/2}$ as a function of the elapsed time $t$ is observed. Then, the dynamics of structural transition from Z form to B form is computed under various external torque strength. For small external torques, the transition proceeds via nucleation and the growth, while for higher torques, Z-form structure becomes unstable, and the transition mechanism is switched to a spinodal-like process. These numerical results are qualitatively understood by simple phenomenological arguments.

description: We present a detailed X-ray study of the 2003 XMM-Newton observation of the High Mass X-ray Binary XTE J0421+560/CI Cam. The continuum of the X-ray spectrum is well described by a flat power law (Gamma=1.0+/-0.2) with a large intrinsic absorbing column (N_H=(4.4+/-0.5)\times10^{23} cm^{-2}). We have decomposed the broad iron line into 3 separate components: Fe\textsc{i}-K$α$, Fe\textsc{i}-K$β$ and Fe\textsc{xxiv-xxv}K$α$. It is unclear how both neutral and almost fully ionised iron can exist simultaneously, however we suggest this could be evidence that the compact object is embedded in the circumstellar material. This doesn't appear to be consistent with the X-ray flux and spectrum of the source, which has remained essentially unchanged since the initial outburst. The iron abundance implied by the ratio of the neutral Fe-K$α$ and Fe-K$β$ is compatible with solar. We search for lags in the neutral Fe-K$α$ with respect to the continuum and find marginal evidence for a lag at ~10 ks. We interpret this as the light crossing time of the torus which would suggest that the neutral iron is located at a radius of 10 AU. This result depends on several assumptions including the distance to the system, the inclination, the mass of system and the orbital period none of which are known with any great certainty. Better constraints on these system parameters and further observations of this system are required to confirm this result. We discuss the nature of this system in light of our results and place it in context with other binary B[e] stars.

Publisher: name: International Junior Researcher and Engineer Workshop on Hydraulic Structures
Year: 2019

description: In this study, a 1:8 scale physical hydraulic model was used to demonstrate that a novel widening ramp concept was applicable for diverting supercritical inflows for a proposed regulator chamber and also to establish design dimensions for the proposed structure to meet project goals. The following conclusions were determined from the testing. The widening ramp concept proposed for this project was able to adequately pass the full range of design inflows of 0-425 MGD without experiencing undesirable flow conditions that would produce excessive water depths while meeting the diversion goals of the project. The proposed diversion conduit could adequately pass the range of diverted discharges without affecting the hydraulic performance of the regulator chamber. The results of this study establish the potential for the widening ramp structure to be utilized for tackling other challenging supercritical flow diversion problems.

Why is IGR J17091-3624 so faint? Constraints on distance, mass, and spin from `phase-resolved' spectroscopy of the `heartbeat' oscillations
Creators: name: Rao, Anjali

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: IGR J17091--3624 is a transient X-ray source and is believed to be a Galactic black hole candidate. Recently, it has received a considerable attention due to the detection of peculiar variability patterns known as `heartbeats', which are quasi-periodic mini-outbursts repeated over timescales ranging between 5 and 70 s. So far, such variability patterns have been observed only in GRS 1915+105 and these are classified as $ρ$- and $ν$-variability classes. Here, we present the results of `phase-resolved' spectroscopy of the `heartbeat' oscillations of IGR J17091-3624 using data from simultaneous observations made by RXTE and XMM-Newton. We find that the 0.7--35 keV spectra can be fitted with a `canonical' model for black hole sources consisting of only two components---a multi-temperature disk black body and a power law (or its equivalent). We attempt to constrain the system parameters of the source by simultaneously fitting spectra during different phases of the burst profile while tying the system parameters across the phases. The results indicate that the source is a high inclination binary ($i$>53$^\circ$). Further, the observed low flux from the source can be explained only if the black hole spin is very low, along with constraints on the black hole mass (<5 M$_\odot$) and the distance (>20 kpc). For higher inclination angles, which is favored by the data, the black hole spin is required to be negative. Thus, low or retrograde spin could be the reason for the low luminosity of the source.

The Intergenerational Effects of Parental Divorce on Young Adult Relationships
Creators: name: Roper, Skyler William
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Due to the current high rates of divorce, many young adults have experienced the effects of parental divorce. Although a variety of research has investigated both the positive and negative implications of divorce for individuals, relatively little research has looked at the relationship effects of parental divorce. Yet divorce likely influences both parent-child relationships (especially with a non-custodial parent) and young adult romantic relationships. The purpose of this study was to explore more fully how parental divorce affects young adult relationships by investigating the relationship between divorce and parent-child relationship quality, perceived comfort within close relationships (i.e., attachment), romantic relationship satisfaction, and individual distress (depression, anxiety, and stress). Data analysis revealed that those who experience parental divorce are more likely to have lower parental regard, lower relationship satisfaction and they are 2.5 times more likely to experience relationship distress. It is hoped that the results of this study can help identify specific intervention points for clinicians who work with individuals, couples, and families where divorce has occurred.
Pendulum Based Impact Testing of Athletic Helmets Using the NOCSAE Headform
Creators: name: Thorne, Bradley
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Concussions in organized sports can have detrimental short-term and long-term effects on player's health. The focus of this research is the development of a new state of the art test and certification standard for protective headgear. Baseball helmets and soccer soft headgear were used in these tests, but the ultimate goal is to create a universal set of test guidelines for all types of protective headgear. Modifications to current test standards outlined by the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) employed the use of a pendulum impactor, which facilitated additional measurements during head impact tests using a NOCSAE headform. This additional data will allow researchers to more accurately characterize the effects of head impacts from sports related objects. This will not only serve to better characterize the effectiveness of currently available protective headgear but will also serve as a means to justify and standardize test protocols for evaluating the effectiveness of protective headgear used in sports where none is currently mandated.
MARKET RESILIENCE: A GARCH-MIDAS EXPLORATION OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC POLICY UNCERTAINTY AND OIL SHOCKS IN SADC

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

description: The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a reevaluation of its impact on the Southern African Development Community (SADC) markets. This study delves into the nexus between Global Economic Policy Uncertainty (GEPU) and stock market volatility within the specific context of SADC. Grounded in Baker et al.'s (2016) seminal definition, GEPU encompasses uncertainty emanating from fiscal, monetary, or regulatory policies. The EPU index, derived by assessing the relative frequency of terms related to economics, politics, and uncertainty, serves as a critical metric for evaluating the economic policy landscape.

A comprehensive literature review reveals an extensive body of research examining the correlation between Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) and stock markets globally. Researchers such as Sharif et al. (2020) and Yu et al. (2021) have explored this relationship, employing diverse methodologies. Building on this foundation, practitioners including Ko and Lee (2015), Wu et al. (2015), Christou et al. (2017a), Cheng (2017), Phan et al. (2018), Mei et al. (2018), Xiong et al. (2018), and Yu et al. (2018) contribute relevant insights to this discourse.

The initial segment of the literature concentrates on assessing the impacts of Economic Policy Uncertainty on stock markets. Notably, Wu et al. (2016) employ a panel Granger causality method to analyze the influence of EPU on stock markets across eight OECD nations. Furthermore, Christou et al. (2017b) utilize a Bayesian panel vector autoregression model to investigate the impact of US EPU shock on the stock market returns of Pacific Basin countries, extending their analysis to other financial markets.

This study extends the existing body of knowledge by focusing specifically on the SADC markets, evaluating the correlation between GEPU and stock market volatility within this regional context. Employing a multidimensional approach, the research aims to unravel the nuanced dynamics that characterize the relationship between economic policy uncertainty and stock market fluctuations in the SADC region.
EM Wave Interaction with a Bounded Plasma Column Supporting an Electron Beam
Creators: name: Beshah, Asmelash Teshome
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: In this thesis, the disruption of an incoming external transverse electromagnetic wave by an inhomogeneous plasma with energetic electron beam is examined. The plasma-beam characteristics are motivated by theory and experiment. Wave-plasma interactions and wave propagation and reflection in and from a plasma medium is studied. Physical sources such as the plate current density are considered. The inhomogeneity of the plasma slab supporting the energetic electron beam is partially built into the supported fields. The wave-plasma-beam interaction is examined over a wide parameter space. Absorption or reflection of electromagnetic waves can be achieved by changing the plasma number density, collision frequency, beam number density, and the Gaussian nature of the beam and slab thickness. Under appropriate condition in the presence of an energetic electron beam supported by the plasma slab, the externally generated wave incident on and exciting the slab can resonate with the beam. Although insignificant for the parameters studied, this becomes apparent when the operation frequency (both the wave and the beam) approaches the electron plasma frequency. Initial studies conducted have not exhausted all possible parameter space scenarios and physics mechanisms. Based on the results obtained, more involved investigations are warranted.

description: The existence of correlations between nuclear properties of galaxies, such as the mass of their central black holes, and larger scale features, like the bulge mass and luminosity, represent a fundamental constraint on galaxy evolution. Although the actual reasons for these relations have not yet been identified, it is widely believed that they could stem from a connection between the processes that lead to black hole growth and stellar mass assembly. The problem of understanding how the processes of nuclear activity and star formation can affect each other became known to the literature as the Starburst-AGN connection. Despite years of investigation, the physical mechanisms which lie at the basis of this relation are known only in part. In this work, we analyze the problem of star formation and nuclear activity in a large sample of galaxies. We study the relations between the properties of the nuclear environments and of their host galaxies. We find that the mass of the stellar component within the galaxies of our sample is a critical parameter, that we have to consider in an evolutionary sequence, which provides further insight in the connection between AGN and star formation processes.

description: High resolution dark matter only simulations provide a realistic and fully general means to study the theoretical predictions of cosmological structure formation models for gravitational lensing. Due to the finite number of particles, the density field only becomes smooth on scales beyond a few times the local mean interparticle separation. This introduces noise on the gravitational lensing properties such as the surface mass density, the deflection angles and the magnification. At some small-scale mass limit, the noise due to the discreteness of the N-body simulation becomes comparable to the effects of physical substructures. We present analytic expressions to quantify the Poisson noise and study its scaling with the particle number of the simulation and the Lagrangian smoothing size. We use the Phoenix set of simulations, currently the largest available dark matter simulations of clusters to study the effect of limited numerical resolution and the gravitational strong lensing effects of substructure. We quantify the smallest resolved substructure, in the sense that the effect of the substructure on any strong lensing property is significant compared to the noise, and we find that the result is roughly independent of the strong lensing property. A simple scaling relates the smallest resolved substructures in a simulation with the resolution of the N-body simulation.

description: Entanglement is a fundamental resource for quantum information processing. In its pure form, it allows quantum teleportation and sharing classical secrets. Realistic quantum states are noisy and their usefulness is only partially understood. Bound-entangled states are central to this question---they have no distillable entanglement, yet sometimes still have a private classical key. We present a construction of bound-entangled states with private key based on classical probability distributions. From this emerge states possessing a new classical analogue of bound entanglement, distinct from the long-sought bound information. We also find states of smaller dimensions and higher key rates than previously known. Our construction has implications for classical cryptography: we show that existing protocols are insufficient for extracting private key from our distributions due to their "bound-entangled" nature. We propose a simple extension of existing protocols that can extract key from them.

title: N-Dimensional Quasipolar Coordinates - Theory and Application
Creators: name: Nguyen, Tan Mai
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis, various generalizations to the n-dimension of the polar coordinates and spherical coordinates are introduced and compared with each other and the existent ones in the literature. The proof of the Jacobian of these coordinates is very often wrongfully claimed. Currently, prior to our proof, there are only two complete proofs of the Jacobian of these coordinates known to us. A friendlier definition of these coordinates is introduced and an original, direct, short, and elementary proof of the Jacobian of these coordinates is given. A method, which we call a perturbative (not perturbation) method, is introduced so that the approach in the general case is also valid in all special cases. After the proof, the definitions of the n-dimensional quasiballs (hyperballs for n ≥ 4) and the n-dimensional quasispheres (hyperspheres for n ≥ 4) are given. The Jacobian is used to calculate the n-dimensional quasivolume of the n-dimensional quasiball and the n-dimensional quasi-surface area of the n-dimensional quasisphere directly. The formulas obtained afterwards are free of any special functions and could be introduced without any advanced mathematical knowledge. Numerical results are provided in a table followed by interpretations of these results.
Before You Knew Me
Creators: name: Ontiveros, Isabel
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: My thesis is a collection of short stories titledBefore You Knew Me. The collection centers on people whose lives have been affected by addiction or loneliness. Families attempt to get through adversities and piece together the fragments of a life they once had. Happiness for both the adults and the children depends on their ability to resist the cycle of dysfunction and the pressures of their peers.
The collection begins with a Gothic story about an abduction. My story "Goldfish" was inspired by Joyce Carol Oates's "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been," where a young girl meets a serial killer and is taken from her home. I love the intensity of that story and I tried, also, to infuse that kind of dread within my own version. Joyce Carol Oates says inThe Faith of a Writer, "Your `forbidden' passions are likely to be the fuel for your writing." Despite my concerns in writing such an illicit story, I felt compelled to push past my comfort level in order to create the most "natural" fearful environment.
Sex is a theme throughout many of the stories. Teenage girls try to get a sense of their own sexuality in the face of the examples set by their parents or other outside influences. In "You Don't Like the Way it Sounds" a girl befriends a boy from her track team who seeks consolation after the recent loss of his mother. Despite her own curiosities about sex, she resists what she perceives as the animalistic contortions of sexual intimacy. She feels the boy is ruined by the lack of a mother and the negative influences of his father.
A teenager tries to find stability outside of her home in "So Far From Where They Were" but encounters the unwonted lives of a white family she mistakenly assumes will be better than her own. The girls are affected by the "love" letters that expose their parent's sexual secrets. The runaway girl realizes she must go back home and confront family conflict with the fortitude she had all along.
"Before You Knew Me" is a story titled after the collection. It is about a father, addicted to heroin, who rebuilds a relationship with his daughter during a year-long incarceration. Through their letters, she finds strength to deal with problems at home. Years later, she travels by bus to a prison in Juarez, Mexico, where she finds herself in a compromising situation.
In "Cigarettes" a recently divorced woman tries to nurture a relationship with her cousin who struggles with alcoholism and lives in the same apartment complex. In an attempt to stabilize her cousins living situation, she inadvertently becomes her enabler. The narrator and her aunt form a bond. Her aunt is the key to understanding and breaking away from the effects of co-dependency.

description: Today's quality movement in health care has driven the importance of patient satisfaction and experience across the industry. While the subject is of huge interest to researchers and health care companies, many struggle to identify a unified list of attributes that are applicable globally. Due to the industry's uniqueness, it becomes necessary to understand the population and specific attributes for each. In review of previous service quality research, this study presents many dimensions and attributes for application. Using existing service quality framework 5Qs, this study provides unique findings correlated to existing literature and presents actionable items.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide a review of existing service quality and patient satisfaction literature in an attempt to identify common themes and trends that can affect patient satisfaction. For this study, we researched Senior Dimensions, a Medicare Advantage HMO plan in Southern Nevada. The research was to identify patient perceptions of their quality of health care and health plan.
Implications/Contribution: The findings conclude that there are several similarities between established service quality frameworks and patient satisfaction. Therefore, it is important to identify those specifically within your population. The study contributes to the service quality and patient satisfaction bodies of literature. It also provides additional value for existing theoretical models and their implementation in the health care industry.

description: Identifying the occurrence of congestion in a Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a major task. The inbuilt congestion control techniques of existing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) designed for wired networks do not handle the unique properties of shared wireless multi-hop link. There are several approaches proposed for detecting and overcoming the congestion in the mobile ad-hoc network. In this paper we present a Modified AD-hoc Transmission Control Protocol (M-ADTCP) method where the receiver detects the probable current network status and transmits this information to the sender as feedback. The sender behavior is altered appropriately. The proposed technique is also compatible with standard TCP.

Tracking and Monitoring Unmanned Aircraft Systems Activities with Crowd-Based Mobile Apps
Creators: name: Papireddy, Tejaswini
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: An Unmanned Aircraft System(UAS) is an aircraft without human pilot onboard. They can be controlled remotely from a ground control station (GCS) or can fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans. Tracking and monitoring these UASs activities in the National Airspace System (NAS) is one of the major challenges related to UAS. This system tracks a set of UASs at a given point of time based on the user-submitted tracking information. This thesis presents the basic knowledge of UAS, types of UAS, advantages, and challenges with UASs. The implemented Android application allows the users to submit the observed UAS information to a tracking database server by taking a picture of the UAS. The monitoring system is implemented in Android for retrieving and displaying the UAS activity data from the database server. This system is expected to promote safer airspace by providing the UAS activity information to manned aircraft pilots and other UAS operators to avoid collision.
