description: We reconsider the problem of the anomalous Hall effect in ferromagnetic SrRuO$_3$, incorporating insights from the recently developed theory of Weyl semimetals. We demonstrate that SrRuO$_3$ possesses a large number of Weyl nodes, separated in momentum space, in its bandstructure. While the nodes normally do not coincide with the Fermi energy, unless the material is doped, we show that even the nodes inside the Fermi sea have a significant effect on the physical properties of the material. In particular, we show that the common belief that (non-quantized part of) the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity of a ferromagnetic metal is entirely a Fermi surface property, is incorrect: there generally exists a contribution to the anomalous Hall conductivity that arises from topological Fermi-arc surface states, associated with the Weyl nodes, which is of the same order of magnitude as the Fermi surface contribution.

description: A combined experimental and theoretical study of doping individual Fe atoms into Bi2Se3 is presented. It is shown through a scanning tunneling microscopy study that single Fe atoms initially located at hollow sites on top of the surface (adatoms) can be incorporated into subsurface layers by thermally-activated diffusion. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in combination with ab-initio calculations suggest that the doping behavior changes from electron donation for the Fe adatom to neutral or electron acceptance for Fe incorporated into substitutional Bi sites. According to first principles calculations within density functional theory, these Fe substitutional impurities retain a large magnetic moment thus presenting an alternative scheme for magnetically doping the topological surface state. For both types of Fe doping, we see no indication of a gap at the Dirac point.

description: The Earth’s iron-rich core contains light elements. Studying the interaction of multiple light elements with iron and silicates during core–mantle segregation process in early Earth evolution has become important. In-situ X-ray diffraction and imaging observations of the iron–silicate–water–sulfur system at 5–10 GPa, up to approximately 1900°C, were used to elucidate sequential reactions: phase transformation and hydrogenation of iron, and formation of iron sulfide and silicates. The newly constructed X-ray imaging system achieved spatial resolution of approx. 10 μm for this study to show iron blob formation and motion. Sulfur distorted the iron blob shape and affected blob growth during heating by reducing the interfacial energy between molten iron and silicates. Light elements in the molten iron and the remaining silicate grains affected core–mantle segregation in the primitive Earth as temperatures increased. Carbon and silicon were incorporated into liquid Fe during later processes at higher temperatures.

With the scalar field coupling function, the form of which is taken to meet cosmological observations, we estimate the effect of such a nonminimal coupling on the properties of dark matter compact configurations. We show that the masses and sizes of the resulting chameleon dark matter stars are smaller than those of systems with no field present.

Year: 2008

description: With the dramatic advances in computer technology in recent
decades, the increase of crimes committed using high
technology has skyrocketed. Losses to corporations and
governmental agencies have totalled millions if not billions
of dollars per year. Victims are beginning to speak out and
ask for help. Law enforcement agencies throughout the
country are teaming together to create specialized crime
units and task forces in an attempt to successfully combat
computer related crimes. Nevada is one of the many states
which is in the infancy stages of developing such a task
force. The Sacramento Valley High Tech Crime Task Force has
actively supported the efforts of the Nevada Attorney
General's Office. What does the Nevada Attorney General's
Office need to do to launch a successful high technology
crime task force as other jurisdictions have done? What is
the best, most efficient, most productive method to
investigate this type of white collar crime? This paper
will examine such efforts.

description: Single cluster covering approach provides a plausible mechanism for the formation and stability of octagonal and decagonal quasiperiodic structures. For dodecagonal quasiperiodic pattern such a single cluster covering scheme is still unavailable. Here we demonstrated that the ship tiling, one of the dodecagonal quasiperioidic structures, can be constructed from one single prototile with matching rules. A deflation procedure is devised by assigning proper orientations to the tiles present in the ship tiling including regular triangle, 30°-rhombus and square, and fourteen types of vertical configurations have been identified in the deflated pattern, which fulfill the closure condition under deflation and all result in a T-cluster centered at vertex. This result can facilitate the study of physical properties of dodecagonal quasicrystals.

Increasing the recycling rate in Clark County, Nevada
Creators: name: Emerald Laija
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate policies that could
increase the amount of municipal solid waste recycled in Clark County, Nevada.
Clark County has not met the Nevada State goal of a 25% recycling rate since it
was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1991. Using the system dynamics
problem solving approach, a model for Clark County was adapted from a model
developed by Stave (2008) to test policy options. There was no feedback in the
model due to the long lifespan of the landfill servicing Clark County and the
relatively shorter time horizon of the model. Since there is limited manufacturing
of products in Clark County, there is a low demand for recyclable material, which
is a driving factor behind the low recycling rate. The scenarios that increased the
recycling rate beyond 25% were: (1) increasing residential and multi-family
recycling to 34%, which represents the recyclable portion of material in those
waste streams and (2) increasing residential and multi-family recycling to 25%
and increasing commercial diversion to 30% from small businesses and material
collected by roll-off services.
Newtonian acceleration scales in spiral galaxies

description: We revisit the issue of the constancy of the dark matter (DM) and baryonic Newtonian acceleration scales within the DM scale radius by considering a large sample of late - type galaxies. We rely on a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to estimate the parameters of the halo model and the stellar mass - to - light ratio and then propagate the uncertainties from the rotation curve data to the estimate of the acceleration scales. This procedure allows us to compile a catalog of 58 objects with estimated values of the $B$ band absolute magnitude $M_B$, the virial mass $M_{vir}$, the DM and baryonic Newtonian accelerations (denoted as $g_{DM}(r_0)$ and $g_{bar}(r_0)$, respectively) within the scale radius $r_0$ which we use to investigate whether it is possible to define a universal acceleration scale. We find a weak but statistically meaningful correlation with $M_{vir}$ thus making us argue against the universality of the acceleration scales. However, the results somewhat depend on the sample adopted so that a careful analysis of selection effects should be carried out before any definitive conclusion can be drawn.

description: This paper gives an brief overview of the structure of hypothetical strange quarks stars (quark stars, for short), which are made of absolutely stable 3-flavor strange quark matter. Such objects can be either bare or enveloped in thin nuclear crusts, which consist of heavy ions immersed in an electron gas. In contrast to neutron stars, the structure of quark stars is determined by two (rather than one) parameters, the central star density and the density at the base of the crust. If bare, quark stars possess ultra-high electric fields on the order of 10^{18} to 10^{19} V/cm. These features render the properties of quark stars more multifaceted than those of neutron stars and may allow one to observationally distinguish quark stars from neutron stars.

description: We first prove that if $a$ has a prime factor not dividing $b$ then there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that $\binom {an+bn} {an}$ is not divisible by $bn+1$. This confirms a recent conjecture of Z.-W. Sun. Moreover, we provide some new divisibility properties of binomial coefficients: for example, we prove that $\binom {12n} {3n}$ and $\binom {12n} {4n}$ are divisible by $6n-1$, and that $\binom {330n} {88n}$ is divisible by $66n-1$, for all positive integers $n$. As we show, the latter results are in fact consequences of divisibility and positivity results for quotients of $q$-binomial coefficients by $q$-integers, generalizing the positivity of $q$-Catalan numbers. We also put forward several related conjectures.

Weapons labs and city growth: Livermore and Albuquerque, 1945-1975
Creators: name: Layne Rochelle Karafantis
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: This thesis traces the transformation of two cities in the American West: Albuquerque, a medium-sized metropolitan area in the generally low-population state of New Mexico, and Livermore, California, a relatively small town on the fringe of the massive San Francisco Bay Area metropolis. The federal government built nuclear weapons labs in both places after World War II, and as a result, they encountered phenomenal growth. This is not surprising, as authors such as Peter Hall and Ann Markusen have argued that federal installations in the postwar years affected the economies of many western cities. However, this thesis asserts that rural areas in the West were impacted as well. Examination of both of these cities showcases how the military-industrial complex in the postwar years affected local identities and economies. In particular, it provides case studies to better understand the issue of federal dependency in the West.

description: Let $\X$ be an algebraic curve of genus $g \geq 2$ defined over a field $\F_q$ of characteristic $p > 0$. From $\X$, under certain conditions, we can construct an algebraic geometry code $C$. If the code $C$ is self-orthogonal under the symplectic product then we can construct a quantum code $Q$, called a QAG-code. In this paper we study the construction of such codes from curves with automorphisms and the relation between the automorphism group of the curve $\X$ and the codes $C$ and $Q$.

description: Disclination lines in nematic liquid crystals can exist in different geometric conformations, characterised by their director profile. In certain confined, colloidal and even more prominently in chiral nematics, the director profile may vary along the disclination line. We construct a robust geometric decomposition of director profile variations in closed disclination loops based on a quaternion description and use it to apply topological classification to linked loops with arbitrary variation of the profile. The description bridges the gap between the known abstract classification scheme derived from homotopy theory and the observable local features of disclinations. We compare the resulting decomposition of disclination loop features to a similar decomposition of nematic textures on closed surfaces.

description: Young adults are experiencing a mental health crisis.One factor leading to undersociality is peoples’ underestimation of how positively others will respond to their own sociality (e.g., engaging in a conversation; Epley et al., 2022). Researchers have attempted to address undersociality problems by implementing institutional curriculum, smartphone applications, and social support programs (for a review, see Osborn, Weatherburn, & French, 2021). However, to our knowledge, no study has attempted to increase sociality by correcting peoples’ perceptions of norms. Our norm-based intervention will include in-person educational sessions and informational posters. Given past studies showing that norm-correction about peers’ pro-diversity attitudes increased students’ sense of belonging (Murrar, Campbell & Brauer, 2020), we expect this part of the intervention to be effective at changing perceptions of social norms around empathy and sociality, as well as social behaviors that are downstream of these cognitions.

It brought together housing NGOs, Nama, local authorities and bodies such as the Central Bank and Construction Industry Federation, as well as TDs from all political parties. The forum was interesting for a few reasons. First, the issues facing housing haven’t changed in the past 24 months. If anything, they’ve intensified, but the underlying problems remain the same. Second, the participant responses will have been mainly the same, too, although also intensified. So why have such an event?

On example of the well-known model of Kuzmin--Toomre using N-body simulations it was shown that the stellar bar is developed as a result of the evolution of an unstable normal mode. The pattern speed and the growth rate found agree well with linear perturbation theory. Nonlinear evolution of the bar is followed. Role of the growing transient spirals in bar formation is discussed.

title: Age determination of the sixgill shark from hard parts using a series of traditional and novel approaches
Creators: name: Campbell, Steven Jeffrey
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
Necessary to the management of any species of fish is the ability to determine age in individuals. Age information is used to establish growth rates, longevity, age at maturity, and population age structure, and to predict how population demographics will change over time. For most species of fish, reliable aging techniques have been in use since the early 20th century. Most boney fish are aged by counting bands of calcium phosphate hydroxyapatite that form over time in skeletal hard parts such as otoliths, fin-spines, and scales, which can be used as proxies for age in years. Fishes in the Class Elasmobranchii lack otoliths and have skeletons composed of cartilage, which often do not incorporate enough calcium to enable enumeration by traditional aging methods that rely on light microscopy, in some cases aided by enhancement techniques such as histological staining. For these fishes, alternative methods and aging structures are used to identify and enumerate annual patterns in calcium deposition. The aging structure of choice for most elasmobranches is the vertebral centrum, where bands of calcium are deposited that can be used as proxies for age in years. A few deep-dwelling species of Elasmobranchii, such as the sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus,) have as yet defied efforts at age determination, inhibiting efforts to implement science-based management plans. This study has attempted to identify alternative aging structures that may incorporate seasonally-mediated concentrations of elements or isotopes into cartilage. Once identified, these structures were subjected to two recently developed methods of elemental microanalysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), and laser ablation, inductively-coupled, plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), in an effort to develop an aging method for H. griseus, and potentially other poorly calcified elasmobranchs. In addition, it has also used two traditional, histological staining methods, Von Kossa's AgNO3, and Alizarin Red-S and applied them to these non-traditional aging structures. This study identified regions within the cartilaginous skeleton of H. griseus that lay down systematic banding patterns. These patterns were visually detected using AgNO3 staining enhanced light microscopy, as well as by periodic oscillations in isotopic concentrations for 24Mg, 88Sr, 107Ag, and 109Ag that were detected through the use of LA-ICP-MS. Future research in this field will need to verify if these bands are deposited on an annual basis. Methodologies must be developed for verification, and validation of these procedures to determine if the band patterns identified by either of these methods have utility for age determination in this and other poorly calcified species of elasmobranchs.
title: Magmatic processes in the Jurassic Bonanza arc: insights from the Alberni region of Vancouver Island, Canada
Creators: name: Paulson, Benjamin David
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2010

description:
The Early to Middle Jurassic Bonanza island arc on Vancouver Island, Canada, exposes the middle and upper crust of an ancient arc crustal section. The arc is exposed for a length of ~500 km along the west coast of Vancouver Island. The three components of the Bonanza arc represent different crustal levels of magmatism. The deepest level of magmatism is represented by the Westcoast Crystalline Complex, the intermediate level is represented by the Island Intrusions Suite, and the surficial level is the represented by Bonanza Group volcanics. Samples of the volcanic section were collected in the Pemberton Hills region of northern Vancouver Island, the Nootka Sound region in central Vancouver Island, and the Alberni region of southern Vancouver Island. These three localities represent ~400 km of strike length. The Bonanza volcanics are medium K and calc-alkaline. They range from high-alumina basalt (Al2O3 >15 wt.%) to dacite, with 48.5-72.5 wt.% SiO2 and 4.0-8.7 wt.% MgO. They have a moderate enrichment in the light rare earth elements (LREEs), with abundances 25-90x chondrite with chondrite-normalized (La/Yb)n values from 4.0 to 14. Geochemistry of the volcanics was analyzed to document along-strike variations that occur within the Bonanza arc. Examination of specific trace elements and trace element ratios suggests that the Bonanza Arc was influenced by the addition of a sediment component during magma generation, with the greatest influence in the Alberni and Pemberton Hills region. While an altered oceanic basaltic slab fluid signature is present in all portions of the arc, it is less pronounced than the sediment component. However, some of the slab fluid component signature may have been modified by alteration. Geochemical modeling of fractionation processes (least squares calculations for major elements and Rayleigh fractionation of the REE) and magma mixing were undertaken to evaluate processes that diversify parental melts in the arc. In the Alberni region, where this analysis was focused, the volcanic stratigraphy is divided into two distinct facies: The Red Bed Creek facies and the Klanawa facies. A model that combines both crystal fractionation and magma mixing has moderate success for reproducing compositions in the Klanawa facies, while compositions in the Red Bed Creek facies requires assimilation of country rock, crystal fractionation and magma mixing between primitive melts and silicic melts derived from the Westcoast Crystalline Complex.

description: In this study, we aim to investigate to what extent there is an individual-level relationship between employee perceptions of strengths support and self-efficacy. Moreover, we aim to investigate to what extent this individual-level relationship is influenced by the team-level factors of team cohesion, team empowerment and team psychological safety. To carry out the proposed investigation, the present multilevel study will draw on two waves of data (with a 6-month time-interval between waves) gathered among employees, nested in teams, of a health-care organization.

Velocity/Position Integration Formula (I): Application to In-flight Coarse Alignment
Creators: name: Wu, Yuanxin

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Robotics (cs.RO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The in-flight alignment is a critical stage for airborne INS/GPS applications. The alignment task is usually carried out by the Kalman filtering technique that necessitates a good initial attitude to obtain satisfying performance. Due to the airborne dynamics, the in-flight alignment is much difficult than alignment on the ground. This paper proposes an optimization-based coarse alignment approach using GPS position/velocity as input, founded on the newly-derived velocity/position integration formulae. Simulation and flight test results show that, with the GPS lever arm well handled, it is potentially able to yield the initial heading up to one degree accuracy in ten seconds. It can serve as a nice coarse in-flight alignment without any prior attitude information for the subsequent fine Kalman alignment. The approach can also be applied to other applications that require aligning the INS on the run.

description: A unified, fast, and effective approach is developed for numerical calculation of the well-known plasma dispersion function with extensions from Maxwellian distribution to almost arbitrary distribution functions, such as the $δ$, flat top, triangular, $κ$ or Lorentzian, slowing down, and incomplete Maxwellian distributions. The singularity and analytic continuation problems are also solved generally. Given that the usual conclusion $γ\propto\partial f_0/\partial v$ is only a rough approximation when discussing the distribution function effects on Landau damping, this approach provides a useful tool for rigorous calculations of the linear wave and instability properties of plasma for general distribution functions. The results are also verified via a linear initial value simulation approach. Intuitive visualizations of the generalized plasma dispersion function are also provided.

I am journalism (and so can you!): Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and the role of the journalist
Creators: name: Eugene Wagner
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Satire news has garnered considerable critical attention, yet the question of just what mainstream journalism might take from it has yet to be asked. This study aims to clarify the normative potential of such alternative discursive approaches. Geoffrey Baym's theory of discursive integration, which argues that once distinct modes of discourse are now blending together, may help explain the relationship between humor and the mediation of current events. This study uses a discourse analysis to compare how mainstream television news outlets and The Daily Show approach truth claims, finding that journalistic credibility suffers, at least in part, from avoiding critical evaluation of events. Of the four media outlets examined here, only The Daily Show made truth the focus of its coverage. Host Jon Stewart avoids the structural biases which prevent mainstream journalism from fulfilling its social responsibilities. Three main approaches to news reporting emerge which may enhance journalistic quality and credibility: redaction, contextualization, and authorization.

An evaluation of lead in imported candies within Clark County, Nevada, USA
Creators: name: Lee Reuben Ibarra
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Imported candies from Latin America pose a danger to children because of the potential for those candies to contain harmful levels of lead. This study sought to identify characteristics of imported candies that typically display higher concentrations of lead. This study also explored the Integrated Exposure Uptake Biokinetic model developed by the EPA. Using lead exposure data specific to Clark County, Nevada, the IEUBK model was used to estimate the amounts of candy a child would have to consume in order to raise his blood lead level to over 10µg/dL (the federal allowable limit).

The results showed that candies with the ingredients chili or tamarind contained less lead concentrations than candies without chili or tamarind. Lead concentrations in candies from Clark County were typically very low (0.5µg/g) and the IEUBK model determined that, on average, children would have to consume large amounts of candy (~125 a day) to reach a blood lead level of 10µg/dL. However, in the event that some of those candies have an extremely high lead concentration (>1000µg/g) then it would only take a few of those candies to bring a child's blood lead level to dangerous levels. The results of this study illustrated the potential dangers and difficulties in dealing with leaded candies which prompts the need for continuous monitoring of a broader range of candies.

description: Sumatranus lignans (SL) isolated from Cleistanthus sumatranus have demonstrated bioactivities, e.g., they were shown to exhibit immunosuppressive properties in previous research. Their structure suggests potential antioxidant activity that has not attracted any attention thus far. Consistently, a comprehensive analysis of the antioxidant activity of these compounds is highly desirable with the view of prospective medical applications. In this work, the mechanism and kinetics of the antiradical properties of SL against hydroperoxyl radicals were studied by using calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). In the lipid medium, it was discovered that SL reacted with HOO• through the formal hydrogen transfer mechanism with a rate constant of 101-105 M-1 s-1, whereas in aqueous media, the activity primarily occurred through the sequential proton loss electron transfer mechanism with rate constants of 102-108 M-1 s-1. In both lipidic and aqueous environments, the antiradical activity of compounds 6 and 7 exceeds that of resveratrol, ascorbic acid, and Trolox. These substances are therefore predicted to be good radical scavengers in physiological environments.
Self-gravitational force calculation of infinitesimally thin gaseous disks

description: A thin gaseous disk has often been investigated in the context of various phenomena in galaxies, which point to the existence of starburst rings and dense circumnuclear molecular disks. The effect of self-gravity of the gas in the 2D disk can be important in confronting observations and numerical simulations in detail. For use in such applications, a new method for the calculation of the gravitational force of a 2D disk is presented. Instead of solving the complete potential function problem, we calculate the force in infinite planes in Cartesian and polar coordinates by a reproducing kernel method. Under the limitation of a 2D disk, we specifically represent the force as a double summation of a convolution of the surface density and a fundamental kernel and employ a fast Fourier transform technique. In this method, the entire computational complexity can be reduced from $O(N^2\times N^2)$ to $O((N\times \log_2(N)^2)$, where $N$ is the number of zones in one dimension. This approach does not require softening. The proposed method is similar to a spectral method, but without the necessity of imposing a periodic boundary condition. We further show this approach is of near second order accuracy for a smooth surface density in a Cartesian coordinate system.

Fluctuations in Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Counts at three lower Columbia River spawning sites
Creators: name: Eric Michael Loomis
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: Several hypotheses were developed to explore the pronounced increase in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) returning to spawning grounds at the Cowlitz, Kalama, and Lewis Rivers, three tributaries of the lower Columbia River. The study was conducted using data compiled over a ten-year span from 1991-2001. Preliminary indications are that trends in climate are linked to these increases, with the absence of El Niño events and fluctuations in winter precipitation as likely explanations of these phenomena. The unique nature of Chinook life cycles causes them to utilize a variety of habitats that require ideal conditions for maximum survival rates. Correlations between ideal environmental conditions and the decision by hatcheries to release greater stocks were also analyzed. Overall, considerations were made that each of these hypotheses are inter-connected in explaining the fluctuations. Status report data from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife served as the baseline for this study. The data provided a means to graph population trends over time, along with climate patterns over the same time period in an attempt to explain why some years experience higher Chinook counts at spawning grounds than others. The importance of Pacific salmon abundance as an indicator of ecosystem health stresses the need to improve our understanding of the mechanisms regulating their dynamic fluctuations.

description: Properties of bosonic atoms in small systems with a periodic quasi one-dimensional circular toroidal lattice potential subjected to rotation are examined by performing exact diagonalization in a truncated many body space. The expansion of the many-body Hamiltonian is considered in terms of the first band Bloch functions, and no assumption regarding restriction to nearest-neighbor hopping (tight-binding approximation) is involved. A finite size version of the zero temperature phase diagrams of Fisher et al. \cite{Fisher} is obtained and the results, in remarkable quantitative correspondence with the results available for larger systems, discussed. Ground state properties relating to superfluidity are examined in the context of two-fluid phenomenology. The basic tool, consisting of the intrinsic inertia associated with small rotation angular velocities in the lab frame, is used to obtain ground state `superfluid fractions' numerically. They are analytically associated with one-body, uniform solenoidal currents in the case of the adopted geometry. These currents are in general incoherent superpositions of contributions from each eigenstate of the associated reduced one-body densities, with the corresponding occupation numbers as weights. Full coherence occurs therefore only when only one eigenstate is occupied by all bosons. The obtained numerical values for the superfluid fractions remain small throughout the parameter region corresponding to the `Mott insulator to superfluid' transition, and saturate at unity only as the lattice is completely smoothed out.
