Prevalence of Cariogenic Microbial Flora among Scardovia wiggsiae-Positive and Negative Patients
Creators: name: Tam, Amy
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: The formation of dental caries (cavities) is a complex, multi-dimensional process that necessarily involves many risk factors  including the acquisition and colonization of cariogenic oral bacteria. The most frequently associated oral pathogens are the acid-producing and acid-tolerant oral streptococcus species, such as Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans or SM). Many studies have established and confirmed the critical role of the formation of biofilm in the virulence of S. mutans, and the critical role this may play in determining the balance of the oral microbiome towards health or disease.
More recent efforts have discovered a novel cariogenic pathogen, Scardovia wiggsiae (S. wiggsiae or SW) among the oral bacteria of children with severe early childhood caries. This pathogen has also been confirmed among the oral microbiota among patients with increased caries risk, such as orthodontic patients. Despite these efforts, much remains unknown about the prevalence of this organism and the potential interactions with other cariogenic bacteria that might influence oral health or disease.
Studies from this group have surveyed the prevalence of oral microbial pathogens, such as S. mutans among pediatric and orthodontic populations. In addition, pilot studies to evaluate the presence of S. wiggsiae among this patient population have also emerged. However, to date few (if any) of these studies have performed simultaneous screenings of other organisms, such as S. mutans and S. wiggsiae to determine if the presence of either organism might be associated with differences in the prevalence of the other. The primary goal of this study was to determine the types of oral microbial associations that may exist among S. wiggsiae-positive and -negative patient samples.

Virtual Rebel Website: A Strategy to Increase User Engagement through Bounce Rate Analysis
Creators: name: Vendivel, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: In a media environment that increasingly demands captivating content on a website, user engagement becomes a critical factor in the strategy of maintaining user interest. Research based on website analytics has shown that decreasing the Bounce Rate increased the time a web user spends on a website, entailing higher user engagement. Bounce Rate is the ratio of single-page visits on a website divided by the total number of visits, and it is used primarily used to quantify user interest. By examining the analytics and design of the student-run news siteVirtual Rebel, produced by the Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, this non-traditional thesis prospectus suggests a strategy to improve the communication of information, by developing methods to lessen the Bounce Rate and effectively increase user engagement. The purpose of this project also seeks to future-proofVirtual Rebel's content for subsequent users so that damage from media disruption is mitigated. Research had guided this strategy to apply an iterative process of analysis and modifications to various areas on the website. The areas of concentration were information architecture, graphic design, and media convergence. Through the process of adjusting these areas and analyzing Bounce Rate,Virtual Rebel's site owners were able to identify problems and find improvements, such that users were more engaged within the site. By increasing users' engagement on the website, the Bounce Rate was inherently lowered.
A Suzaku Observation of Mkn 590 Reveals a Vanishing Soft Excess

description: We have analyzed a long-look Suzaku observation of the Seyfert 1.2 Mkn~590. We aimed to measure the Compton reflection strength, Fe K complex properties and soft excess emission as had been observed previously in this source. The Compton reflection strength was measured to be in the range 0.2-1.0 depending on the model used. A moderately strong Fe \ka emission line was detected with an equivalent width of ~120+/-25 eV and an Fe Kb line was identified with an equivalent width of ~30+/-20 eV, although we could not rule out contribution from ionized Fe emission at this energy. Surprisingly, we found no evidence for soft excess emission. Comparing our results with a 2004 observation from XMM-Newton we found that either the soft excess has decreased by a factor of 20-30 in 7 years or the photon index has steepened by 0.10 (with no soft excess present) while the continuum flux in the range 2-10 keV has varied only minimally (10%). This result could support recent claims that the soft excess is independent of the X-ray continuum.

The Neuroendocrine and Performance Correlates of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Males and Females
Creators: name: Pierce, Meghan E.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: Distinct gender differences exist in the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder in the United States population. Currently, the direct biological mechanisms involved in the development of PTSD have not been elucidated. However, many studies indicate a dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA-axis) as a contributing factor in the development of PTSD. This study investigated performance and endocrine correlates of PTSD in 38 females without PTSD, 14 females with PTSD, 32 males without PTSD and 5 males with PTSD. We examined the differences between basal cortisol concentrations, as well as cortisol reactivity to the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST). In addition, participant performance was measured during the TSST. We administered the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale and the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale to investigate the relationship between math and performance anxiety and performance. We did not find significant differences in cortisol concentrations between groups. We found a significant effect of time when investigating subjective stress levels. We also found a significant effect of sex and PTSD status on the AMAS and an effect of PTSD on the LSAS. Our data suggest that the anxiety experienced in individuals with PTSD generalizes across domains but does affect performance. It may be that individuals without PTSD symptoms provide anxiety ratings that better predict their performance on the TSST tasks, either because their pre-existing levels of anxiety in these domains directly affect their performance or because they more accurately assess their performance and rate their anxiety in these domains accordingly.

description: A modified Reissner-Nordström spacetime is considered here, where the central object (for example, a black hole or naked singularity) possesses a mass, with an ordinary, i.e., Standard Model (SM) electric charge, along with a dark electric charge associated with dark matter (DM). The inclusion of this dark charge modifies the gravitational properties of the spacetime, while not affecting ordinary electrodynamics. Geodesic motions of both charged and uncharged SM test particles are modified due to the presence of dark charge. The modifications may allow the detection and measurement of the dark charge. In particular, (1) the effective potential for orbiting particles is modified, and consequently, (2) the angular momenta and ISCOs of test masses in circular orbits are changed from those for the usual Reissner-Nordström case. (3) In the case of a naked singularity, it is possible that a "levitating atmosphere", due to short distance repulsive gravity, forms at the zero gravity radius, which depends upon both SM and DM charges. A levitating atmosphere may then cloak the naked singularity.

Lead Hazard Control in Henderson, Nevada: Identifying Critical Areas and the Associated Costs
Creators: name: Rufin, Khaye Gerazel Arcilla

Year: 2015

description: Lead poisoning is a common, yet preventable childhood health problem in the United States today. Studies show statistically significant (p < .05) associations between higher childhood lead exposure and subsequent negative developmental outcomes. Since 1993, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Lead Hazard Control (LHC) Grant Program has devoted more than $1 billion in funding to several cities.
This study investigated a total of n=75 homes enrolled into the Henderson Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes Program (HLHCHHP) from December 2013  February 2015. A logistic regression was performed to ascertain the frequency of lead-based paint (LBP) found in homes based on the year it was constructed. Of the 75 enrolled and tested for LBP, 58 homes (77.3%) were found to contain LBP and 17 homes (22.7%) did not contain LBP. The significance value of p=0.013 shows that there was a statistically significant correlation between the year a housing unit was built and the maximum-likelihood of it containing LBP. The odds ratio (OR) = 0.917 [95% CI: 0.857, 0.982] indicated that a house was protective against LBP as a house gets newer in age.
Chi-square tests were conducted to determine association between substrates and components found with or without LBP in an effort to identify critical areas within a home. The results showed that wood and windows contained LBP more often than any other substrate and component. The costs for remediation on n=37 of the homes that underwent the construction phase of the program is also analyzed. A cost comparison analysis between interim control and full lead abatement is intended to provide guidance for limited budget allocations on LBP work in future projects.

description: Frieze patterns (in the sense of Conway and Coxeter) are in close connection to triangulations of polygons. Broline, Crowe and Isaacs have assigned a symmetric matrix to each polygon triangulation and computed the determinant. In this paper we consider d-angulations of polygons and generalize the combinatorial algorithm for computing the entries in the associated symmetric matrices; we compute their determinants and the Smith normal forms. It turns out that both are independent of the particular d-angulation, the determinant is a power of d-1, and the elementary divisors only take values d-1 and 1. We also show that in the generalized frieze patterns obtained in our setting every adjacent 2x2-determinant is 0 or 1, and we give a combinatorial criterion for when they are 1, which in the case d=3 gives back the Conway-Coxeter condition on frieze patterns.

The baryonic self similarity of dark matter

description: The cosmological simulations indicates that the dark matter haloes have specific self similar properties. However the halo similarity is affected by the baryonic feedback, the momentum injected by the supernovae re-shape the dark matter core and transform it to a flat density core, with a scale length imposed by the baryonic feedback. Additionally the baryon feedback impose also an equilibrium condition, which when coupled with the imposed baryonic scale length induce a new type of similarity. The new self similar solution implies that the acceleration generated by dark matter is scale free, which in turns implies that the baryonic acceleration at a reference radius is also scale free. Constant dark matter and baryonic accelerations at a reference radius have effectively been observed for a large class of different galaxies, which is in support of this approach. The new self similar properties implies that the total acceleration at larger distances is scale free, the transition between the dark matter and baryons dominated regime occurs at a constant acceleration, and the maximum of the velocity curve which defines the amplitude of the velocity curve at larger distances is proportional to $M^{\frac{1}{4}}$. These results demonstrates that in this self similar model, cold dark matter is consistent with the basics of MOND phenomenology for the galaxies. In agreement with the observation the coincidence between the self similar model and MOND is expected to break at the scale of clusters of galaxies. Some numerical experiments shows that the behavior of the density near the origin is closely approximated by a Einasto profile.

description: An amino acid substitution (K232A) in the enzyme diacylglycerol acyl-CoA acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) has been reported to explain variation in milk traits and milk fatty acid (FA) profile. In this study, associations between K232A, and milk traits including milk FA composition, were studied in wholly pasture-fed New Zealand Holstein-Friesian × Jersey cross-bred (KiwicrossTM) dairy cows. With a high frequency of K variant (61.9%), the KK cows produced more milk fat on average (5.41 ± 0.04%), than the AA cows (4.43 ± 0.06%). The milk volume, fat concentration and protein concentration for the AK cows were between the values for the genotypes AA and KK. More C16 : 0 (saturated fatty acid), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (C18:3 cis-9, 12, 15) were found in the milk of the KiwicrossTM cows, and the influence of DGAT1 K232A on these FAs during the mid- and late- stage of lactation were significant. The AA cows produced more (P < 0.001) CLA (1.137 ± 0.047 g/100 g) and C18:3 cis-9, 12, 15 (0.855 ± 0.015 g/100 g), but less C16:0 (35.170 ± 0.355 g/100 g) than the KK cows (0.934 ± 0.025 g/100 g, 0.778 ± 0.009 g/100 g and 38.010 ± 0.250 g/100 g respectively).
title: To Remain Near the "Water Ditch," Paiute Sovereignty and United States Settler Colonialism, Owens Valley, California, 1870-1937
Creators: name: Hanover, Lee Murray
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: This thesis argues that Owens Valley Paiute sovereignty manifested itself both inherently and adaptively from 1870 to 1937. Sovereignty is an historically contingent term that reflects how nations deploy power to retain control over their communities and provide self-determination within economics, politics, culture, and society. This thesis illuminates Paiute sovereignty through the Peoplehood model, explaining how Paiute sovereignty existed at the moment of their creation, when Coyote placed them next to the Water Ditch—Owens River—and told them to spread throughout but never leave their homeland, the Owens Valley. This inherent mandate allowed Paiutes to adapt Coyote's stipulation to remain in the Water Ditch to varied manifestations of settler colonialism. United States representatives and citizens attempted to erase Paiute existence in the valley through capitalist assimilation forcing Paiutes from seasonal round work to stationary wage work; U.S. map makers eliminated Paiute oral tradition and bounded geographies and claimed their homelands; literary authors supported the myth of the vanishing Indian to naturalize settler ownership of Paiute lands; and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) representatives first tried to remove Paiutes from the valley, and then attempted to eliminate Paiute identities and rights to water. Paiutes did not become dependent on settler economies; instead, they adapted wage work into their economic lives and identity to retain control over their communities. Paiutes deployed anthropological research to resist mapping erasures and explain a Paiute bounded mental geography. Paiutes worked for and with colonial literary writers, but more importantly told stories of their survival, resistance, and future as Owens Valley Paiutes. Lastly, Paiutes used congressional committees and deployed their community representatives to resist the LADWP's water politics and remain in the "Water Ditch" on federally protected Paiute reservations.
"The Only People Who Can Get AIDS-Are People": The AIDS Crisis in Mainstream Crisis, 1981-1995
Creators: name: Howard, Franklin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: This study examines the representation of the AIDS crisis and People with AIDS (PWAs) in comics produced by mainstream publishing companies in America. Between 1988 and 1995, mainstream comic artists at DC Comics and Marvel Comics used their art to offer social commentary on the crisis. This commentary focused primarily on social issues like violence against PWAs and social ostracizing instead of the critiques of the Reagan Administration and medical institutions found in similar comics produced by activists in the queer communities. They provided education and advocated acceptance through their character's actions and dialogue as well as in their own responses to letters from readers. Furthermore, mainstream comic creators described their art as starting points their readers could use to discuss the AIDS crisis, despite the years of activism for gay men and lesbians. An analysis of the comic art reveals a lack of social consciousness and personal experience on the part of the creators. Whether intentional or not, they played into stereotypes about people of color and gay men as well as promulgated misconceptions and fear about AIDS. The result was a series of comics that erased queer activism during their attempt to help People with AIDS.

description: The task of assigning internationally accepted commodity codes (aka HS codes) to traded goods is a critical function of customs offices. Like court decisions made by judges, this task follows the doctrine of precedent and can be nontrivial even for experienced officers. Together with the Korea Customs Service (KCS), we propose a first-ever explainable decision supporting model that suggests the most likely subheadings (i.e., the first six digits) of the HS code. The model also provides reasoning for its suggestion in the form of a document that is interpretable by customs officers. We evaluated the model using 5,000 cases that recently received a classification request. The results showed that the top-3 suggestions made by our model had an accuracy of 93.9\% when classifying 925 challenging subheadings. A user study with 32 customs experts further confirmed that our algorithmic suggestions accompanied by explainable reasonings, can substantially reduce the time and effort taken by customs officers for classification reviews.

Boys to Men: Masculinity, Victimization, and Offending
Creators: name: Reed, Shon Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Male victims are an underrepresented group within society as research within victimology primarily focuses on female victims and services available typically cater to female populations. This study focuses on male victims and draws attention to the role that victimization may play in criminal offending. Prior research has found that male victims may feel a diminished sense of their own masculinity. While other studies have noted that masculinity plays a role in some men's decisions to engage in criminal behavior (Messerschmidt, 1993, 2016). It seems logical that these two concepts (masculinity and victimization) would be related. Utilizing self-reported data from 135 college males, the current study analyzes the relationship between childhood victimization, masculinity beliefs, and the decision to engage in criminal/delinquent behavior. Bivariate and multivariate analyses will be utilized to measure the correlation and relationships between the independent and dependent variables. Future research directions and implications are given following the presentation of the findings.

New Beginnings: A Discussion Guide Adaptation for Living with Diabetes among an Urban American Indian Community
Creators: name: Claw, Eudora Lynette
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Diabetes is a chronic disease where the body has the inability to control the sugar levels in the blood to convert into to usable energy needed to fuel the body's cells. Some common diabetic complications include heart disease, stroke, amputations, and possibly blindness. It can be successfully managed with routine care of monitoring of sugar levels, eating a healthy diet, and daily exercise. The occurrence of type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly worldwide, but is a burden for AI/ANs (American Indian/Alaska Natives) at a substantially disproportionate rate. The purpose of this pilot study was to participate in a one-day curriculum assessment, focusing on the management of AI/ANs who are currently living with diabetes. The goal of the curriculum assessment was to help facilitate discussions among AI/ANs about living with diabetes, identifying support from family and other social outlets, and developing coping skills for the management of diabetes. The information resulting from the assessment will benefit AI/ANs living with type 2 diabetes, as well as assist diabetes educators/health professionals in providing quality resources and support services which incorporate emotional and self-management skills, and ways to communicate effectively with family members about the disease.

description: In this paper, we study the influence of the parameters for the accelerating Kerr-Newman black hole on the shadows and the constraints, extensively. We find that the rotating parameter $a$, the charge parameter $e$, and the inclination angle $θ_0$ affect the shadow qualitatively similar to that of Kerr-Newman black holes. The result shows that the size of the shadow will scale down with the accelerating factor $A$. Besides, the factor $A$ also can affect the best viewing angles, which make the observations maximum deviate from $θ_0=\fracπ{2}$, and the degree of the deviations are less than $1\%$. Then, we assume the M87* as an accelerating Kerr-Newman black hole with the mass $M=6.5\times10^9M_\odot$ and the distance $r_0=16.8Mpc$. Combining the EHT observations, we find that neither the observations, circularity deviation $ΔC$ or axial ratio $D_x$ can distinguish the accelerating black hole or not. However, the characteristic areal-radius of the shadow curve $R_a$ can give corresponding constraints on the parameters of the accelerating Kerr-Newman black hole. The results shows that the bigger accelerating factor $A$ is, the stronger constraints on the rotating parameter $a$ and charged parameter $e$. {The maximum range of the accelerating factor is $Ar_0\leq0.558$ for a accelerating Schwarzschild case with $(a/M=e/M=0)$, and for an extremely slow accelerating case $(Ar_0\leq0.01)$, the ranges of rotating parameter $a$ and charged parameter $e$ are $a/M\in(0,1)$ and $e/M\in(0,0.9)$.

A Multi-Level Trust Management Scheme for the Internet of Things

description: The significance of the Internet of Things (IoT) in current trends is continuously rising. It is an umbrella term that signifies a network of physical devices that are embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity that enable greater functions and services through the exchange of data accomplished through interconnection. The applications of the IoT are varied and numerous; they range from relatively simple home automation scenarios to the much more complex scenarios of interconnected smart cities. IoT is expected to dominate the future with huge amounts of content oriented traffic that is a result of intensive interactions between the millions of devices that will be available by then. The rising popularity of IoT has been accompanied by a corresponding rise in the number of issues. One of the issues is a lack of an established mechanism that deals with the issue of trust management. This issue is well addressed in the field of wireless sensor networks; an analogous framework for trust management does not exist for IoT. The complexity of the networked devices (allied with the complexity of the network itself) in addition to the fact that the environment in which the devices exist is itself continuously changing makes the development of a trust management scheme difficult.
We propose a trust management scheme that helps establish trust between devices taking into account the nature, complexity and category of the interconnected devices. The level of service available to a node that requests a service from a service provider is predicated upon the trust level between the provider and requester. We elaborate on this concept and describe the emergence of trust over time that is also sensitive to the changing environment to which the devices might be subjected.

description: We present and discuss a new catalogue of 52 compact HII regions in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and a newly created deep 1420 MHz (λ=20 cm) radio-continuum image of the N19 region located in the southwestern part of the SMC. The new images were created by merging 1420 MHz radio-continuum archival data from the Australian Telescope Compact Array. The majority of these detected radio compact HII regions have rather flat spectral indices which indicates, as expected, that the dominant emission mechanism is of thermal nature.

description: In the framework of the perturbative QCD we investigate heavy particle mass effects on the unpolarized and polarized photon structure functions, $F_2^γ$ and $g_1^γ$, respectively. We present our basic formalism to treat heavy particle mass effects to NLO in perturbative QCD. We also study heavy quark effects on the QCD sum rule for the first moment of $g_1^γ$, which is related to axial anomaly. The photon structure function in supersymmetric QCD is also briefly discussed.

Some results on the radio-SZ correlation for galaxy cluster radio halos

description: We present correlation results for the radio halo power in galaxy clusters with the integrated thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signal, including new results obtained at sub-GHz frequencies. The radio data is compiled from several published works, and the SZ measurements are taken from the Planck ESZ cluster catalog. The tight correlation between the radio halo power and the SZ effect demonstrates a clear correspondence between the thermal and non-thermal electron populations in the intra-cluster medium, as already has been shown in X-ray based studies. The radio power varies roughly as the square of the global SZ signal, but when the SZ signal is scaled to within the radio halo radius the correlation becomes approximately linear, with reduced intrinsic scatter. We do not find any strong indication of a bi-modal division in the radio halo cluster population, as has been reported in the literature, which suggests that such duality could be an artifact of X-ray selection. We compare the SZ signal dependence of radio halos with simplified predictions from theoretical models, and discuss some implications and shortcomings of the present work.

description: In this work we investigate the photoproduction of radially excited vector mesons off nuclei in heavy ion relativistic collisions. In particular, we analyze the exclusive photoproduction of psi(2S) off nuclei, evaluating the coherent and the incoherent contributions to that process. The theoretical framework used in the present analysis is the light-cone dipole formalism and predictions are done for PbPb collisions at the CERN-LHC energy of 2.76 TeV. The theoretical uncertainties are analyzed and comparison is also done to the recent ALICE Collaboration data for the psi(1S) state photoproduction.

title: SOIL BULK DENSITY EFFECTS ON RUNOFF ESTIMATION
Creators: name: Pugh, Colton

description: Urbanization has long been a major factor in the hydrology of surrounding areas. Engineers are commonly tasked with mitigating the extra runoff that urbanization brings with it. The NRCS Curve Number (CN) method is a commonly-used approach to predicting the amount of runoff that will be experienced from a given area. However, this method is known to be highly simplified in model of the processes involved. This study focused on determining the relationships between soil bulk density, simulated rainfall events, hydrologic soil group (HSG) and runoff estimation (specifically via the NRCS CN method). It was determined that soil bulk density has a significant relationship to CN and runoff estimation. Simulated rainfall events had a different relationship to CN and runoff depending on the HSG in question. Hydrologic soil group was found to be significantly related to both CN and runoff, but the HSG effect is relatively weak. In general, it was determined that the recommended NRCS CN values were lower than experimentally determined CN values. Future studies can build on this work to explore empirical relationships that would enable adjustments to recommended NRCS CN values as a function of soil bulk density.
