description: We use a generic model for type-I excitability (known as the SNIPER or SNIC model) to describe the local dynamics of nodes within a network in the presence of non-zero coupling delays. Utilising the method of the Master Stability Function, we investigate the stability of the zero-lag synchronised dynamics of the network nodes and its dependence on the two coupling parameters, namely the coupling strength and delay time. Unlike in the FitzHugh-Nagumo model (a model for type-II excitability), there are parameter ranges where the stability of synchronisation depends on the coupling strength and delay time. One important implication of these results is that there exist complex networks for which the adding of inhibitory links in a small-world fashion may not only lead to a loss of stable synchronisation, but may also restabilise synchronisation or introduce multiple transitions between synchronisation and desynchronisation. To underline the scope of our results, we show using the Stuart-Landau model that such multiple transitions do not only occur in excitable systems, but also in oscillatory ones.

An Analysis of Adhesion Promoters on Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets to Teeth
Creators: name: Cadelinia, Loren Andrew
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of two adhesion promoters, EnhancetmLC and AssureRUniversal Bonding Resin, and their effects with two different adhesion systems (Light Bondtmand TransbondtmXT). To better understand their behavior upon failure, the amount of adhesive remnant remaining on the tooth surface was also observed.
Methods:One-hundred forty human premolars, which were extracted for reasons other than this study, were utilized and divided into seven groups of 20 teeth each. Groups A1 and B1 were bonded without adhesion promoters and with two different adhesive systems - Light Bondtmand TransbondtmXT. Groups A2 and B2 were bonded using EnhancetmLC. Groups A3 and B3 were bonded using AssureRUniversal Bonding Resin. Group C, a third reference control, was bonded with TransbondtmPlus Self Etching Primer, not amenable with the adhesion promoter bonding protocol. A Universal Testing Machine was used to create bond failure and obtain the shear bond strength (SBS). After debonding, teeth and brackets were scored with a modified adhesive remnant index (ARI). Kruskal-Wallis with a Post-Hoc Bonferroni tests were completed on all SBS and ARI data.
Results:This study demonstrated that no significant differences were found in SBS of samples bonded with adhesion promoters, relative to their controls. Groups bonded with AssureRUniversal Bonding Resin had significantly higher ARI scores than the control groups and groups bonded with EnhancetmLC. Shear bond Strengths achieved with the self-etching primer were comparable to conventional bond strengths with and without adhesion promoters. ARI scores for the self-etching primer resulted in more adhesive remnant than conventional bonding.
Conclusions:The application of adhesion promoters, EnhancetmLC and AssureRUniversal Bonding Resin, did not significantly increase SBS compared to non-adhesion promoter bonding with either adhesive system (TransbondtmXT and Light Bondtm) upon normal enamel. The adhesion promoters did not demonstrate a material-specific predilection for one adhesive system over another. Since groups bonded with AssureRUniversal Bonding Resin had significantly higher ARI scores than control groups and groups bonded with EnhancetmLC, more adhesive removal from the tooth will be required following debonding.

description: With the development of informational technology, criminals are using various cyberspaces to
improve cyber-crime. Risk and cyber-attacks have developed into a major area of concern. As there has
been an enormous increase in cyber-attacks, those attacks cause a series of damage to the critical banking
process and caused huge financial losses to the system. To moderate cyber-crime and the cyber threat,
financial industries seek to implement artificial intelligence and other cyber security to improve customer
experiences and the banking process's efficiency. Thus, the current study came to assess and test the Iraqi
banking experience with cyber attacks by unveiling the cyber security systems reaction towards the cyber
attacks and whether the cyber attack promotes the intersystem of banks and motivates them to increase their
precautions to save bank's databases and servers against violation. The study uses the questionnaire as a
key tool to collect respondents' data on how to suffer from cyber attacks two years ago at least. The
significant finding was that Iraqi private banks maintain a specific level of security regardless if there is a
fierce attack or not. However, some respondents are still cautious about using online banking services due
to Iraq's low security of public access to internet services.
Dielectric breakdown of Mott insulators -- doublon production and doublon heating

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using dynamical mean-field theory and the non-crossing approximation as impurity solver, we study the response of a Mott insulator to strong dc electric fields. The breakdown of the Mott insulating state is triggered by field-induced creation of doublon-hole pairs. In a previous investigation, Ref. [1], it was found that the system approaches a long-lived quasi-steady state in which the current is time-independent although the number of carriers constantly increases. Here we investigate and clarify the nature of this state, which exists only because thermalization is slow in the Hubbard model at strong coupling. The current is time-independent because doublons and holes have an infinite temperature distribution. Evidence for this fact is obtained from spectral functions and by comparing the electric current with the field-induced doublon-hole creation rate. Implications to real experiments, in systems with energy dissipation, are discussed.

Strategies to fabricate natural fiber composite panels using VARTM and RTM
Creators: name: Jani, Hasan Rafsan
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Engineered wood

description: There is an increasing demand for decorative and architectural panels in offices, hotels, and residential applications. Many companies are trying to develop natural fiber (NF) composite panels in a consistent manner using all kinds of NF mostly waste stream products available around us. This study sought to develop the methodology to produce sunflower hull and hazelnut shell composite panels using an RTM mold. To fabricate panels in the mold, it was necessary to develop a method to produce panels with NF particulates in the vacuum bag. Sunflower panels were made in the vacuum bag and epoxy resin was used as the matrix. Sunflower hulls were prepressed in a heat press to make the preforms. 5 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm and 15 mm thickness panels were made in the vacuum bag and mechanical properties of sunflower panels were evaluated. Knowledge gathered from vacuum bag method was applied to design and build a mold prototype so that NF particulate composite could be produced without making a preform. In the mold prototype, hazelnut shell panels were made along with sunflower hull panels. This prototype had several advantages over the vacuum bag and the uncertainties related to the vacuum bag process were reduced to a great extent. Injection pressure was used along with the vacuum pressure to assist the flow of the resin. Vacuum bag method required peel ply and resin flow media which made the vacuum bag side of the finished panel rough but because of using the aluminum mold prototype, it was possible to fabricate equally smooth panels on both sides. Panels produced in the prototype mold mostly exhibited better properties (flexure strength for sunflower hull panels were less) and had better dimensional stability when exposed to moisture (less than 1% moisture sorption and thickness swell). Based on the observations of the mold prototype, an 8ft by 4 ft mold was designed considering the positions of the inlet and outlet port, o-rings and channels around the mold cavity for the resin. The required thickness for the top mold side was calculated for different pressure keeping a constant safety co-efficient of 3.

description: Quantum melting of ferroelectric moment in the frustrated hydrogen-bonded system with "ice rule" is studied theoretically by using the quantum Monte Carlo simulation. The large number of nearly degenerate configurations are described as the gauge degrees of freedom, i.e., the model is mapped to a lattice gauge theory which shows the confinement-deconfinment transition (CDT). The dipole-dipole interaction $J_2$, on the other hand, explicitly breaks the gauge symmetry leading to the ferroelectric transition (FT) at finite temperature $T$. It is found that the crossover from FT to CDT manifests itself in the reduced correlation length of the polarization $ξ_{\text{FT}} \sim Δ(K-K_c)^{-ν}$ with $Δ\propto \sqrt{J_2}$ while $K_c$ and $ν$ remains finite in the limit $J_2 \to 0$. In contrast, the Currie-Weiss-like law for the susceptibility $χ$ and the spontaneous polarization behaves smoothly and the length scale $ξ_{\text{CDT}}$, related to the molecular symmetry and volume for CDT, does not reduce in this limit.

Analysing Lecturer-Student Interaction in EMI Undergraduate Lectures: A Sri Lankan Perspective

description: Interaction, especially dialogic interaction in EMI classes, is considered important for understanding the content and developing the language. Although the importance of dialogic interaction is well realized, the studies that focused on interaction in tertiary level EMI classes are rare in Sri Lanka, while they are limited in number in Asia. Moreover, there is no mechanism to identify the lecture delivery in terms of interactivity in EMI classrooms that contextually focuses on Asian EMI classes where most of the lecture deliveries are presumed to be monologic. Hence, this study focuses on developing a framework to identify dialogic interaction in English-medium science lectures in a small faculty of a Sri Lankan university. In Sri Lanka, just like other countries where English is used as a second language, English-medium instruction was introduced with an objective of developing language proficiency of students through the content delivery. It is asserted that the lecture delivery style, along with other reasons, affects students’ language development in English-medium classes. This study develops a framework by analysing the lectures given at the faculty in a method that contextually suits the lecture delivery style in Asian countries. Data were collected from transcribed recordings of 12 hours of lectures, involving four lecturers. The interactional episodes in the lectures were the basis of developing the analytical framework. This framework, which refines and extends the MICASE corpus interactivity rating in a contextually-focused way, was especially designed to categorise the lecture discourse along a monologic-interactive/dialogic continuum. This study also suggests how this framework could be adopted to analyse the lecture deliveries from a practitioner’s point of view. Within the scope of this study, it is explained how this framework was designed focusing attention on interactional episodes. It can be envisaged that the proposed framework can make a concrete contribution to teaching and learning in higher education, mainly to the concept of developing language through dialogic lecture delivery at tertiary level ESL content classes.
Quantum Transport Theory with the Nonequilibrium Coherent Potentials

description: Since any realistic electronic device has some degree of disorder, predicting disorder effects in quantum transport is a critical problem. Here we report the theory of nonequilibrium coherent potential approximation (NECPA) for analyzing disorder effects in nonequilibrium quantum transport of nanoelectronic devices. The NECPA is formulated by contour ordered nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) where the disorder average is carried out within the coherent potential approximation on the complex-time contour. We have derived a set of new rules that supplement the celebrated Langreth theorem and, as a whole, the generalized Langreth rules allow us to derive NECPA equations for real time Green's functions. The solution of NECPA equations provide the disorder averaged nonequilibrium density matrix as well as other relevant quantities for quantum transport calculations. We establish the excellent accuracy of NECPA by comparing its results to brute force numerical calculations of disordered tight-binding models. Moreover, the connection of NECPA equations which are derived on the complex-time contour, to the nonequilibrium vertex correction theory which is derived on the real-time axis, is made. As an application, we demonstrate that NECPA can be combined with density functional theory to enable analysis of nanoelectronic device physics from atomistic first principles.

description: Digital watermarking is the process to hide digital pattern directly into a digital content. Digital watermarking techniques are used to address digital rights management, protect information and conceal secrets. An invisible non-blind watermarking approach for gray scale images is proposed in this paper. The host image is decomposed into 3-levels using Discrete Wavelet Transform. Based on the parent-child relationship between the wavelet coefficients the Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) compression algorithm is performed on the LH3, LH2, HL3 and HL2 subbands to find out the significant coefficients. The most significant coefficients of LH2 and HL2 bands are selected to embed a binary watermark image. The selected significant coefficients are modulated using Noise Visibility Function, which is considered as the best strength to ensure better imperceptibility. The approach is tested against various image processing attacks such as addition of noise, filtering, cropping, JPEG compression, histogram equalization and contrast adjustment. The experimental results reveal the high effectiveness of the method.

description: We present the first results from the JUropa huBbLE volumE (Jubilee) project, based a large N-body, dark matter-only cosmological simulation with a volume of $V=(6 h^{-1}\mathrm{Gpc})^3$, containing 6000$^3$ particles, performed within the concordance $Λ$CDM cosmological model. The simulation volume is sufficient to probe extremely large length scales in the universe, whilst at the same time the particle count is high enough so that dark matter haloes down to $1.5\times10^{12} h^{-1}\mathrm{M}_\odot$ can be resolved. At $z = 0$ we identify over 400 million haloes. The cluster mass function is derived using three different halofinders and compared to fitting functions in the literature. The distribution of clusters of maximal mass across redshifts agrees well with predicted masses of extreme objects, and we explicitly confirm that the Poisson distribution is very good at describing the distribution of rare clusters. The Poisson distribution also matches well the level to which cosmic variance can be expected to affect number counts of high mass clusters. We find that objects like the Bullet cluster exist in the far-tail of the distribution of mergers in terms of relative collisional speed. We also derive the number counts of voids in the simulation box for $z = 0$, $0.5$ and $1$.

description: The environment can modify the physiology and body protective function of the skin. Propolis (PRP) and curcumin (CUR) possess important antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and they can be administered in a combined way and using photodynamic therapy (PDT). Emulgels can control drug release due to the physicochemical properties of the gel and the emulsion. They constitute a good strategy for achieving an improved platform for the combined delivery of PRP and CUR. There are no other studies of emulgels composed of PRP and CUR and their performance as antimicrobial and skin healing using or not PDT. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Carbopol 934 P (C934P), 974 P (C974P) or polycarbophil (PC) on physicochemical stability, antioxidant activity, drug release profile, antimicrobial activity, and ex vivo skin permeation and retention of emulgels containing PRP and CUR. Formulations containing C974P or PC displayed improved stability and antioxidant activity. They displayed activity against Staphylococcus aureus and modified (extended) drug release, governed mainly by non-Fickian anomalous transport. C974P and PC resulted in improved emulgels for combined CUR and PRP delivery, allowing the drugs to cross the stratum corneum, and permeate the epidermis, reaching the dermis. The selected emulgels are candidates for further studies to prove their action and benefits to skin health.

Analytic and approximate solutions are obtained by first using a coordinate transformation to reduce the Schroedinger equation to a second-order differential equation with an appropriate form. The asymptotic iteration method is also employed indirectly to obtain the terms in perturbation expansions, both for the energies and for the corresponding eigenfunctions.

description: Postpartum hypertension (PPHT) is a hypertensive disorder of the puerperium that occurs in women at a rate between 0.8-28% although the exact incidence is unknown due primarily to its transient presentation during a time of reduced medical supervision. The etiology of PPHT is currently unknown with no present experimental animal model. We present the African green monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops sabaeus; AGM) as a potentially translational NHP model of PPHT in humans. AGMs were identified as PPHT using Doppler sphygmomanometry and American Heart Association standards of hypertension for systolic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg). Disease characteristics were determined utilizing the following measures: water intakes, urinary excretion rates, and plasma osmolalities were used to assess water balance and urinary Na+/K+ and protein excretion rates were measured as assessments of renal function. The results indicated potential roles for the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, antidiuretic hormone, or atrial natriuretic peptide-related dysfunction in the development of PPHT. Concomitant proteinuria potentially indicated the presence of postpartum preeclampsia. The AGM model of PPHT recapitulates many of the potential etiologies of human PPHT.

description: The hospitality industry spans the globe, employing millions of jobs worldwide. In recent years, many well-known hotel companies such as, Hilton Worldwide, Marriott, Fairmont, Four Seasons, and The Peninsula, have expanded their portfolios around the world. With this vast expansion hospitality companies look for leaders that want to have unique experiences, and are able to travel the world during their career. The Asian economic market has done extremely well, particularly Mainland China, the Peoples Republic of China. In response to this, Americans have packed their bags and headed to China to live and work in the hospitality industry. According to the Sixth National Population Census of the Peoples Republic of China conducted in 2010, there are 71,493 Americans residing in Mainland China (Sixth National Population Census of the Peoples Republic of China, 2010). Americans have found that living in China can be very rewarding for their career growth and experience. One must wonder though, what it is like to live in China, what challenges hospitality leaders encounter there, how similar experiences are by Americans serving in China, how hiring for new properties is conducted, and how all of these experiences compare to what would occur in the U.S. Answers to these questions, along with many others could significantly help American expatriates planning to live in China or living and working there today.

Creators: name: Dixon, John Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: There is no cost effective way to deliver a payload to space and, with rising fuel prices, currently the price to travel commercially is also becoming more prohibitive to the public. During supersonic flight, compressive shock waves form around the craft which could be harnessed to deliver an additional lift on the craft. Using a series of hanging plates below a lifting wing design, the total lift generated can be increased above conventional values, while still maintaining a similar lift-to-drag ratio. Here, we study some of the flows involved in supersonic shockwave interaction. This analysis uses ANSYS Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics package as the modeler. Our findings conclude an increase of up to 30% lift on the modeled craft while maintaining the lift-to-drag profile of the unmodified lifting wing. The increase in lift when utilizing the shockwave interaction could increase transport weight and reduce fuel cost for space and commercial flight, as well as mitigating negative effects associated with supersonic travel.

description: When manipulating a quantum system $S$, its surrounding system, or \textit{environment}, $E$ induces unwanted effects. It is mainly due to its vastness and the lack of knowledge about the Hamiltonian $H_{SE}$ that governs the dynamics inside $E$ and the interaction with $S$. The detail of $H_{SE}$ is usually extremely hard to identify, since $E$ can hardly be measured or controlled directly. Nevertheless, here we show that it is possible to probe and control a part of, if not all, the dynamics involving $E$, within the timescale in which its effective dimension can be seen finite. That is, we may be able to let a noisy environment work in our favor as a part of quantum computer.

Captivity, Adoption, Marriage and Identity: Native American Children in Mormon Homes, 1847-1900.
Creators: name: Bennion, Michael Kay
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: The Indigenes of North America's Great Basin developed a way of life based on the available resources the Basin provided. Their culture and customs provided a stable means of understanding and interacting with nature and men. Their myths elaborated on expectations, hopes, and fears, in real and metaphorical ways, as evidenced by stories of the trickster Coyote. As Great Basin bands contacted Europeans, they adjusted their resource gathering based on new technologies, such as horses and guns, as well as their myths to cope with change. This process entailed some adjustment in their perceptions of the world around them and in their own identities. Some Indigenes, such as the Utes and Comanches, raided other Native bands enslaving women and children who they traded to the Spanish in exchange for additional horses and guns. Native American children, acquired through this difficult and wrenching raid-and-trade process, experienced a major cultural shift that imposed upon them an external identity. They reacted to that shift in varied ways that expressed individual constructed identity. The Utes and others who sold, traded or gave them away, and the Mormons who purchased, accepted or received them in trade, struggled to define rules governing the practice and their obligations concerning the children caught up by that practice. Individual personality characteristics, preconceived notions about the opposing culture, and the external federal government actions, complicated rules definition and the subsequent behavior of those involved.
As the children married some faced prejudice and others found acceptance. Individual personalities, rather than cultural conventions alone often determined outcomes. Native Americans and Mormons experienced conflicts with each other, and with the U. S. Army and federal agents, and negotiated their place in new structures. Mormons and Native Americans experienced disillusionment as accepted concepts collided reality, resulting in a mixture of anger, accommodation, assimilation and acculturation. Native American children in Mormon homes negotiated their individual identities based on cultural cues from their combined cultures. Subsequent secondary literature written years after the fact tried to simplify this complex process as dictated by preconceived, often culturally skewed, notions.
A data exchange interface for a standards based advanced distribution management integration platform
Creators: name: Singh, Alka
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Electric power distribution--Automation--Computer programs

description: The modern electrical grid is a complex and a data rich system, requiring several sub-systems to provide the capability and support needed to perform functions such as distributed energy resource management, outage management, and fault location and isolation, to name a few. There is a need to develop software solutions and platforms that provide an integrated infrastructure to allow interoperability between these subsystems, while leveraging the abundant data available from today's grid. The development and deployment of an application service to integrate an open source standards-based platform, GridAPPS-D, with SurvalentONE, a commonly used DNP3 based product that allows operation, monitoring, analysis, restoration, and optimization of network operations are discussed in this thesis. The details of the integration architecture, including its implementation, and provide results from functional testing of the architecture on a 13 bus IEEE system. The results validate that the integration is successful and is able to provide a two-way exchange of communication and translation between different communication protocols.
Walls, Lines, and Spectral Dualities in 3d Gauge Theories

description: In this paper we analyze various half-BPS defects in a general three dimensional N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory T. They correspond to closed paths in SUSY parameter space and their tension is computed by evaluating period integrals along these paths. In addition to such defects, we also study wall defects that interpolate between T and its SL(2,Z) transform by coupling the 3d theory to a 4d theory with S-duality wall. We propose a novel spectral duality between 3d gauge theories and integrable systems. This duality complements a similar duality discovered by Nekrasov and Shatashvili. As another application, for 3d N=2 theories associated with knots and 3-manifolds we compute periods of (super) A-polynomial curves and relate the results with the spectrum of domain walls and line operators.

Social transformation and its effect on teenage pregnancy in Mpumalanga, South Africa

Teenage pregnancy--South Africa

description: South Africa has undergone a massive social, cultural, political, and economic change since transitioning to a democratic government in 1994. Educational and economic opportunities have vastly increased with the political transition. However, rates of teenage pregnancy remain high. In South Africa about 30% of women will have their first child before the age of 19 despite the social and economic hardships that early pregnancy creates. Why have high rates of early pregnancy persisted despite the increase in opportunities? The researcher took an approach that focused on generational differences in views on sex and related behaviors, looking at how changing social patterns affected people's outlooks. This mixed methods approach used qualitative and quantitative research methods, including semi-structured interviews and surveys. The analysis revealed that adolescents have two social paths to achieving adult status: having sex (along with creating a child) or completing their education and becoming financially independent. All generations viewed sex as an adult act. Older generations took this to mean that sex should not be engaged in until the person had achieved other aspects of adult status, namely financial independence. The youngest generation, however, often used sex to assert their status as an adult among their peers. This was particularly true for adolescent boys, as making a child meant that they were a man.

AMS02 results support the secondary origin of cosmic ray positrons

description: We show that the recent AMS02 positron fraction measurement is consistent with a secondary origin for positrons, and does not require additional primary sources such as pulsars or dark matter. The measured positron fraction at high energy saturates the previously predicted upper bound for secondary production (Katz et al 2009), obtained by neglecting radiative losses. This coincidence, which will be further tested by upcoming AMS02 data at higher energy, is a compelling indication for a secondary source. Within the secondary model the AMS02 data imply a cosmic ray propagation time in the Galaxy of < Myr and an average traversed interstellar matter density of order 1/cc, comparable to the density of the Milky Way gaseous disk, at a rigidity of 300 GV.

description: Machines and humans become mechanically coupled when lower limb amputees walk with powered prostheses, but these two control systems differ in adaptability. We know little about how they interact when faced with real-world physical demands (e.g. carrying loads). Here, we investigated how each system (i.e. amputee and powered prosthesis) responds to changes in the prosthesis mechanics and gravitational load. Five transfemoral amputees walked with and without load (i.e. weighted backpack) and a powered knee prosthesis with two pre-programmed controller settings (i.e. for load and no load). We recorded subjects' kinematics, kinetics, and perceived exertion. Compared to the no load setting, the load setting reduced subjects' perceived exertion and intact-limb stance time when they carried load. When subjects did not carry load, their perceived exertion and gait performance did not significantly change with controller settings. Our results suggest transfemoral amputees could benefit from load-adaptive powered knee controllers, and controller adjustments affect amputees more when they walk with (versus without) load. Further understanding of the interaction between powered prostheses, amputee users, and various environments may allow researchers to expand the utility of prostheses beyond simple environments (e.g. firm level ground without load) that represent only a subset of real-world environments.
