title: Structural, electrical and thermoelectric properties of chromium silicate thin films
Creators: name: Abd El Qader, Makram
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Thermoelectric devices can generate electrical power as a result of their ability to produce electrical currents in the presence of thermal gradients. They can also produce refrigerative cooling when electrical power is supplied to them. Among the potential semiconducting silicides, CrSi  2 is attractive because of its high thermal and chemical stability and its potential for thermoelectric application. CrSi2 /SiO2 thin-film structures were prepared using RF sputtering. As deposited and annealed (300°C to 600°C) thin films were characterized for their structural, electrical, and thermoelectric transport properties. As-sputtered CrSi 2 film is amorphous at room temperature and crystallizes around 300°C independent of thickness. Resistivity of the as-deposited 1ìm films is 1.20 mΩ-cm, whereas, the annealed films were not electrically conducting as a result of the formation of cracks in the film. The measured Seebeck voltage of the 1ìm films is markedly enhanced upon annealing and reaches a value of 81μV/K; close to that of bulk CrSi 2 . The 0.1μm-thick film exhibit an increase in the resistivity up to 0.9mΩ-cm upon annealing at 300°C, which drops for higher temperature anneals. This behavior is not well-understood. The Seebeck voltages of the 0.1μm thin films increase with annealing temperatures, reaching a maximum value of 62μV/K. Thermoelectric power factors for 0.1 μm thin films exhibit a similar behavior to that of the Seebeck coefficients; increasing with temperature and reaching a plateau value of 10 -3 W/(K2 m) at around 400°C to 450°C. These results suggest that annealed thin films of thicknesses in the range of 0.1μm are more suitable for device applications when glass substrates are employed. In order a deposit ternary and higher order alloys, a three gun sputtering system was designed, built and tested for its level of vacuum levels and cleanliness. The tests showed that the three-gun sputtering system is of vacuum levels of 10 -9 Torr and shows extremely low level of impurities and is ready for future sputtering works in this area.

description: This paper addresses the problem of sparsity penalized least squares for applications in sparse signal processing, e.g. sparse deconvolution. This paper aims to induce sparsity more strongly than L1 norm regularization, while avoiding non-convex optimization. For this purpose, this paper describes the design and use of non-convex penalty functions (regularizers) constrained so as to ensure the convexity of the total cost function, F, to be minimized. The method is based on parametric penalty functions, the parameters of which are constrained to ensure convexity of F. It is shown that optimal parameters can be obtained by semidefinite programming (SDP). This maximally sparse convex (MSC) approach yields maximally non-convex sparsity-inducing penalty functions constrained such that the total cost function, F, is convex. It is demonstrated that iterative MSC (IMSC) can yield solutions substantially more sparse than the standard convex sparsity-inducing approach, i.e., L1 norm minimization.

title: Indigent women and access to prenatal care
Creators: name: Zelazny, Zoe Ann
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: One aspect of America's health care system that illustrates the great need for health care reform, but receives little attention, is prenatal care. The United States has the second worst newborn mortality rate in the developed world. Adequate prenatal care results in healthier babies, more full-term babies delivered, and a decrease in other serious problems related to pregnancy and health care costs. The purpose of this study is to examine the history of prenatal policy and how it has developed into what it is today, to understand why medically indigent women are not receiving adequate prenatal care, and to highlight effective practices for enrolling women into prenatal care in order to enable healthy births and infants and to save on pregnancy related health care costs. The culmination of this study is an in-depth analysis of a Centering Pregnancy program, an innovative form of prenatal care.

description: Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) is a methodology for sampling approximately from a sequence of probability distributions of increasing dimension and estimating their normalizing constants. We propose here an alternative methodology named Sequentially Interacting Markov Chain Monte Carlo (SIMCMC). SIMCMC methods work by generating interacting non-Markovian sequences which behave asymptotically like independent Metropolis-Hastings (MH) Markov chains with the desired limiting distributions. Contrary to SMC, SIMCMC allows us to iteratively improve our estimates in an MCMC-like fashion. We establish convergence results under realistic verifiable assumptions and demonstrate its performance on several examples arising in Bayesian time series analysis.

Euler equation on a rotating surface

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: We study 2D Euler equations on a rotating surface, subject to the effect of the Coriolis force, with an emphasis on surfaces of revolution. We bring in conservation laws that yield long time estimates on solutions to the Euler equation, and examine ways in which the solutions behave like zonal fields, building on previous works that have examined how such 2D Euler equations can account for the observed band structure of rapidly rotating planets. Specific results include both an analysis of time averages of solutions and a study of stability of stationary zonal fields. The latter study includes both analytical and numerical work.

description: Evolution of systems in which Hamiltonians are generators of gauge transformations is a notion that requires more structure than the canonical theory provides. We identify and study this additional structure in the framework of relational observables ("partial observables"). We formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for the resulting evolution in the physical phase space to be a symplectomorphism. We give examples which satisfy those conditions and examples which do not. We point out that several classic positions in the literature on relational observables contain an incomplete approach to the issue of evolution and false statements. Our work provides useful clarification and opens the door to studying correctly formulated definitions.

description: The superbosonisation identity of Littelmann-Sommers-Zirnbauer is a new tool to study universality of random matrix ensembles via supersymmetry, which is applicable to non-Gaussian invariant distributions. In this note, we identify the right-hand side with a super-generalisation of the Riesz distribution. Using the Laplace transformation and tools from harmonic superanalysis, we give a short and conceptual new proof of the formula.

Josephson surface plasmons in spatially confined cuprate superconductors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work, we generalize the theory of localized surface plasmons to the case of high-Tc cuprate superconductors, spatially confined in the form of small spherical particles. At variance from ordinary metals, cuprate superconductors are characterized by a low-energy bulk excitation known as the Josephson plasma wave (JPW), arising from interlayer tunneling of the condensate along the c-axis. The effect of the JPW is revealed in a characteristic spectrum of surface excitations, which we call Josephson surface plasmons. Our results, which apply to any material with a strongly anisotropic electromagnetic response, are worked out in detail for the case of multilayered superconductors supporting both low-frequency (acoustic) and transverse-optical JPW. Spatial confinement of the Josephson plasma waves may represent a new degree of freedom to engineer their frequencies and to explore the link between interlayer tunnelling and high-Tc superconductivity.

title: A polymerase chain reaction method for the detection of Selenomonas noxia
Creators: name: Mehretu, Arthuro
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: In recent studies, periodontal health has been linked to being overweight and/or obese. Among common oral bacteria, Selenomonas noxia has been implicated in converting periodontal health to disease. Selenomonas spp. have also been found in gastric ulcers, and were misdiagnosed as Helicobacter -like organisms, but no further studies were conducted. The increasing clinical and epidemiological importance of S. noxia necessitates the development of a rapid detection method. In this study, a TaqMan 16S rRNA based real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method was developed, optimized and evaluated for the rapid and specific detection of S. noxia . The 16S PCR assay using primers and a fluorescent probe was tested against S. noxia , six organisms closely related to S. noxia , and two commonly isolated oral bacteria. The designed primers and probe were optimized, and amplified the target organism with 100% specificity. In conclusion, the 16S real-time PCR designed in this study can be used to specifically amplify  S. noxia . The assay can be used for epidemiological studies in understanding the role of S. noxia in disease processes including, but not limited to, oral health and infectobesity.
Chiral symmetry breaking from two-loop effective potential of the holographic non-local NJL model

description: We calculate the two-loop effective potential of the non-local NJL model derived from the Sakai-Sugimoto model in string theory. In contrast to conventional NJL with 4-fermion contact interaction, the chiral symmetry was previously found to be dynamically broken for arbitrary weak coupling at the one-loop level. As a confirmation, the approximate numerical solutions to the gap equation at one loop are explicitly demonstrated for weak couplings. We then calculate the one and two-loop contribution to the effective potential of the non-local NJL model and found that the two-loop contribution is negative. The two-loop potential for the chiral symmetric vacuum is also negative but larger than the combined effective potential of the chiral broken vacuum at the two-loop level. The chiral symmetry breaking thus persists for arbitrary weak coupling at the two-loop level.

title: Examining revenue management practices in Las Vegas casino resorts
Creators: name: Tanpanuwat, Arun
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The overall goal of this study was to examine Revenue Management (RM) practices in Las Vegas casino resorts. A great deal of research has been done on RM in the hospitality industry. The academic research has examined RM in hospitality in general, but not specifically in casino resorts, which gain their revenue from both rooms and resort amenities. Moreover, the academic literature often show high-level mathematic-based solutions or statistical applications, but not necessarily pragmatic techniques for practitioners. This qualitative study investigates the extent to which the essential fundamentals of any RM system are implemented successfully by casino RM professionals and managers who work closely on RM.
The study relies on in-depth interviews with casino RM professionals and academic professors who specialize in the field, as well as observation. It finds that essential key functions for RM practices for both traditional hotel and casino resorts are similar. However, for the gaming industry, especially for Las Vegas casino resorts, customer segmentation is the key. The resorts pay much more attention to customer valuation, because longer-staying guests may not yield higher gaming value or overall revenue if the managers failed to allocate rooms to the right segments. It also finds that strategic pricing in the Las Vegas gaming industry differed from the hotel industry, and identifies key skill sets sought for RM professionals in the casino resort industry.
The Exploration of Service Dogs Versus Therapy Dogs

Year: 2023
Subjects: Therapy dog, service dog

description: Humans and dogs have always had a symbiotic relationship, dating back to hunter-gatherers. Humans would give the dogs food for survival and dogs would repay their human counterparts with companionship and loyalty. Service dogs, especially emotional support dogs, are known for reducing anxiety levels for the good of their owners and keeping them calm. If emotional support dogs can keep victims of abuse calm during their testimonies, then they can keep their owners calm entering any establishment without persecution. Currently, there is little legislation protecting owners with emotional support dogs in public spaces. This is due to the fact that the work that emotional support dogs do isn’t readily visible to someone that is not familiar with service animals. My research centers around the benefits that service dogs provide and gives evidence of why service animals should be allowed and more accessible in public spaces.
A Test for Determining a Subdiffusive Model in Ergodic Systems from Single Trajectories

description: Experiments on particles' motion in living cells show that it is often subdiffusive. This subdiffusion may be due to trapping, percolation-like structures, or viscoelatic behavior of the medium. While the models based on trapping (leading to continuous-time random walks) can easily be distinguished from the rest by testing their non-ergodicity, the latter two cases are harder to distinguish. We propose a statistical test for distinguishing between these two based on the space-filling properties of trajectories, and prove its feasibility and specificity using synthetic data. We moreover present a flow-chart for making a decision on a type of subdiffusion for a broader class of models.

description: Charge order in cuprate superconductors is a possible source of anomalous electronic properties in the underdoped regime. Intra-unit cell charge ordering tendencies point to electronic nematic order involving oxygen orbitals. In this context we investigate charge instabilities in the Emery model and calculate the charge susceptibility within diagrammatic perturbation theory. In this approach, the onset of charge order is signalled by a divergence of the susceptibility. Our calculations reveal three different kinds of order: a commensurate ($q=0$) nematic order, and two incommensurate nematic phases with modulation wavevectors that are either axial or oriented along the Brillouin zone diagonal. We examine the nematic phase diagram as a function of the filling, the interaction parameters, and the band structure. We also present results for the excitation spectrum near the nematic instability, and show that a soft nematic mode emerges from the particle-hole continuum at the transition. The Fermi surface reconstructions that accompany the modulated nematic phases are discussed with respect to their relevance for magneto-oscillation and photoemission measurements. The modulated nematic phases that emerge from the three-band Emery model are compared to those found previously in one-band models.

A Galactic short gamma-ray burst as cause for the 14C peak in AD 774/5

description: In the last 3000 yr, one significant and rapid increase in the concentration of 14C in tree rings was observed; it corresponds to a gamma-ray energy input of 7x10^24 erg at Earth within up to one year in AD 774/5 (Miyake et al. 2012). A normal supernova and a solar or stellar flare are unlikely as cause (Miyake et al. 2012), so that the source remained unknown. Here, we show that a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) in our Galaxy is consistent with all observables: Such an event is sufficiently short and provides the necessary energy in the relevant spectral range of $γ$-rays. Its spectral hardness is consistent with the differential production rates of 14C and 10Be as observed. The absence of reports about a historic sighting of a supernova in AD 774/5 or a present-day supernova remnant are also consistent with a short GRB. We estimate the distance towards this short GRB to be ~ 1 to 4 kpc - sufficiently far away, so that no extinction event on Earth was triggered. This is the first evidence for a short GRB in our Galaxy.

description: The objective of this study was to describe the relationship between stress, weight-related health risk behaviors (e.g., eating behaviors, physical activity, sedentary behavior, sleep, cigarette smoking and binge drinking), and weight status using cross-sectional data on 2-year community college students enrolled in a randomized controlled weight gain prevention trial. Modified Poisson regression and linear regression were used to examine crude and adjusted cross-sectional associations. Higher stress was associated with higher prevalence of overweight/obesity (crude PR=1.05 [95% CI 1.01, 1.09]), though the relationship was no longer statistically significant after controlling for a wide range of weight-related health risk behaviors (adjusted PR=1.04 [95% CI 1.00, 1.08]). Stress levels were significantly associated with meal skipping and being a current smoker. Future research should investigate the mechanisms through which stress is related to obesity risk and examine the causes of stress among this understudied population to inform the design of appropriate interventions.

We have revised (Ga,Mn)As using the DFT with the pseudopotential self-interaction correction (pSIC) and maximally-localized Wannier functions (MLWFs), which show the sp3 character of a HDF. Nature of HDF is extended - for low dopings and the pSIC, 70% of the HDF is located within the inter-impurities region, and contribution of the 3d-Mn states is 3-5% for 1-3% of Mn with the pSIC, and 11% with the DFT. We found that for dopings below 1%, the spin-unpolarized s-type impurity states segregate from the conduction band to the energy gap - in contrast to earlier publications. This implies that donor co-doped dilute samples would be both insulating and nonmagnetic.

description: Replicating or caching popular content in memories distributed across the network is a technique to reduce peak network loads. Conventionally, the main performance gain of this caching was thought to result from making part of the requested data available closer to end users. Instead, we recently showed that a much more significant gain can be achieved by using caches to create coded-multicasting opportunities, even for users with different demands, through coding across data streams. These coded-multicasting opportunities are enabled by careful content overlap at the various caches in the network, created by a central coordinating server. In many scenarios, such a central coordinating server may not be available, raising the question if this multicasting gain can still be achieved in a more decentralized setting. In this paper, we propose an efficient caching scheme, in which the content placement is performed in a decentralized manner. In other words, no coordination is required for the content placement. Despite this lack of coordination, the proposed scheme is nevertheless able to create coded-multicasting opportunities and achieves a rate close to the optimal centralized scheme.

description: A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is compact-preserving if and only if for each point $x\in X$ there is a compact subset $K_x\subset Y$ such that for each neighborhood $O_{f(x)}\subset Y$ of $f(x)$ there is a neighborhood $O_x\subset X$ of $x$ such that $f(O_x)\subset O_{f(x)}\cup K_x$ and the set $K_x\setminus O_{f(x)}$ is finite. This characterization is applied to give an alternative proof of a classical characterization of continuous functions on locally connected metrizable spaces as functions that preserve compact and connected sets. Also we show that for each compact-preserving function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a (strong) Fréchet space $X$, the restriction $f|LI'_f$ (resp. $f|LI_f)$ is continuous. Here $LI_f$ is the set of points $x\in X$ of local infinity of $f$ and $LI'_f$ is the set of non-isolated points of the set $LI_f$. Suitable examples show that the obtained results cannot be improved.

description: In this paper, we propose a scheme for generating steady-state entanglement of remote micromechanical oscillators in unidirectionally-coupled cavities. For the system of two mechanical oscillators, we show that when two cavity modes in each cavity are driven at red- and blue-detuned sidebands, respectively, a stationary two-mode squeezed vacuum state of the two mechanical oscillators can be generated with the help of the cavity dissipation. The degree of squeezing is controllable by adjusting the relative strength of the pump lasers. Our calculations also show that the achieved mechanical entanglement is robust against thermal fluctuations of phononic environments. For the case of multiple mechanical oscillators, we find that the steady-state genuine multipartite entanglement can also be built up among the remote mechanical oscillators by the cavity dissipation. The present scheme does not require nonclassical light input or conditional quantum measurements, and it can be realized with current experimental technology.

An Educator's Toolkit: Using Ethnic Studies to Enrich Classrooms

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: education, ethnic studies, curriculum, diversity, elementary

description: Education is meant to teach young learners more about the world around them. However, perspectives from diverse backgrounds are not always utilized in the classroom. Because of this, many students are often underrepresented in the settings that are meant to best represent their situations. Taking current literature into consideration, the teaching practice of implementing ethnic studies into all fields of study for education ranging from kindergarten to the sixth grade can greatly benefit students. Findings from this literature review are still in production, but it is thought that the implementation of ethnic studies can have a positive impact on testing scores as well as behavior. Sample lesson plans from various grade levels and subject matters are also included as an example of just how many ways ethnic studies can be implemented into a standard curriculum.

Examining the inner experience of left-handers using descriptive experience sampling
Creators: name: Mizrachi, Aadee
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

description: Research suggests that there are anatomical asymmetries of the human brain in relation to hand preference. In addition, left-handedness has been related to a wide range of psychological and physical problems. Despite these relationships, little is known about the inner experience of left-handers. The present study used Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES) to explore the inner experience of 6 left-handed participants. Descriptive Experience Sampling is a nonquantitative sampling method designed to explore and describe inner experience. Undergraduate psychology students were recruited from UNLV to participate in the study. Recruitment consisted of three phases: screening, qualification, and sampling. Students who reported writing with their left-hand in the screening phase moved into the qualification phase. During this phase, students completed the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI). Students who were left-handed, as indicated by their score on the EHI, were asked to participate in the sampling phase. During the sampling phase, the present study examined the inner experience of each subject. After examining the inner experience of each subject, the present study examined across-subjects data and compared the findings from this study to the findings of Heavey and Hurlburt (2008). To date, there have not been any inner experience explorations of left-handed individuals. The present study found that inner experience among left-handed individuals is most saliently characterized by sensory awareness, inner seeing, unsymbolized thinking, multiple experience, searching, and inner speech. The present study found that left-handed individuals experience words and feelings substantially less than the general population.
Revisiting the matter power spectra in $f(R)$ gravity

description: In this paper, we study the non-linear matter power spectrum in a specific family of $f(R)$ models that can reproduce the $Λ$CDM background expansion history, using high resolution $N$-body simulations based on the {\sc ecosmog} code. We measure the matter power spectrum in the range of $0.05h{\rm Mpc}^{-1}10^{-3}$, we find no chameleon screening in dense regions at late times ($z<3$), which means that those models could be ruled out due to the factor-of-$1/3$ enhancement to the strength of Newtonian gravity. We also give the best-fit parameters for a generalised PPF fitting formula which works well for the models studied here.

description: Two oppositely charged droplets of (say) water in e.g. oil or air will tend to drift together under the influence of their charges. As they make contact, one might expect them to coalesce and form one large droplet, and this indeed happens when the charge difference is sufficiently small. However, Ristenpart et al discovered a remarkable physical phenomenon whereby for large enough charge differentials, the droplets bounce off each other as they make contact. Explanations based on minimisation of area under a volume constraint have been proposed based on the premise that consideration of surface energy cannot be sufficient. However, in this note we explain that on the contrary, the bouncing phenomenon can be completely explained in terms of energy, including an accurate prediction of the threshold charge differential between coalescence and bouncing.

title: Synthesis of a chemical probe for identification of Ger receptor proteins of Bacillus anthracis
Creators: name: Lee, Hyelee
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Bacillus anthracis,a gram positive, endospore-forming, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium, is the causative agent of anthrax. A key step in the pathogenic cycle is the spore germination, where the dormant spore transforms into a metabolically active cell. This allows B. anthracis  to proliferate and secrete toxins. It is believed that spore germination is triggered when small molecules, known as germinants, are recognized by germination (Ger) receptor proteins located in the inner membrane of spores. Most Ger proteins are encoded by tricistronic operons, resulting in three distinct products, the A-, B-, C-subunits. Genomic sequencing showed that  B. anthracis has seven ger receptor operons- six genomic ger receptor operons (gerA, gerH, gerK, gerL, gerS, and gerY) and one plasmidic ger receptor operon (gerX).
The most efficient germinant combination is mixtures of L-alanine and purine nucleosides. 6-thioguanosine (6-TG), an inosine analog, was shown to be a competitive inhibitor of inosine mediated B. anthracis spore germination. 6-TG is a mercaptopurine, can be activated by UV irradiation to crosslink with binding proteins. By utilizing the properties of this compound, we aimed to identify Ger receptor proteins of B. anthracis.
To investigate purine binding site of the Ger proteins, we used a chemical-biological strategy. With the help of synthetic chemistry, 5'-azido-5'-deoxy-6-thioguanosine (N3 -6-TG) was prepared. Azide (-N3 ) functionality is introduced as a bait for click reaction and a thiol group (-SH) allows crosslinking. This compound was subsequently UV irradiated for crosslinking B. anthracis  spores. After decoating and lysis of the spores, "click chemistry" was involved, expecting efficient acivity-based protein profiling with biotinylated alkyne tags under Cu(2)-catalyzed conditions. SDS-PAGE and detection with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate were carried out to isolate the cross-linked proteins conjugated with the biotin tag. The detected area of SDS-PAGE gel can be excised and characterized by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/ MS) analysis.
