description: When the data are stored in a distributed manner, direct applications of traditional statistical inference procedures are often prohibitive due to communication costs and privacy concerns. This paper develops and investigates two Communication-Efficient Accurate Statistical Estimators (CEASE), implemented through iterative algorithms for distributed optimization. In each iteration, node machines carry out computation in parallel and communicate with the central processor, which then broadcasts aggregated information to node machines for new updates. The algorithms adapt to the similarity among loss functions on node machines, and converge rapidly when each node machine has large enough sample size. Moreover, they do not require good initialization and enjoy linear converge guarantees under general conditions. The contraction rate of optimization errors is presented explicitly, with dependence on the local sample size unveiled. In addition, the improved statistical accuracy per iteration is derived. By regarding the proposed method as a multi-step statistical estimator, we show that statistical efficiency can be achieved in finite steps in typical statistical applications. In addition, we give the conditions under which the one-step CEASE estimator is statistically efficient. Extensive numerical experiments on both synthetic and real data validate the theoretical results and demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithms.

description: Polycrystalline samples of LaRuAsO, NdRuAsO, SmRuAsO, and GdRuAsO have been synthesized and studied using powder x-ray diffraction, electrical transport, magnetization, and heat capacity measurements. Variations in structural properties across the series reveal a trend toward more ideal tetrahedral coordination around Ru as the size of the rare earth element is reduced. The lattice parameters of these Ru compounds show a more anisotropic response to variation in Ln than their Fe analogues, and significant anisotropy in thermal expansion is also observed. Transport measurements show metallic behavior, and carrier concentrations near 10^21 - 10^22 electrons per cm^3 are inferred from simple analysis of Hall effect measurements. Anomalies in resistivity, magnetization, and heat capacity indicate antiferromagnetic ordering of rare earth moments at 5 K for GdRuAsO, 4.5 K for SmRuAsO, and <2 K for NdRuAsO. Magnetization measurements on LaRuAsO show no evidence of a magnetic moment on Ru. Observed behaviors are compared to those reported for similar Fe and Ru compounds.

description: BACKGROUND: Neutralizing antibodies against nerve growth factor (NGF) are analgesic in rodent models, naturally occurring degenerative joint disease (DJD) pain in dogs, and chronic pain in humans.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of a fully felinized anti-NGF antibody (NV-02) for the treatment of DJD pain and mobility impairment in cats.

ANIMALS: Thirty-four client-owned cats with DJD-associated pain and mobility impairment.

METHODS: In a placebo-controlled, pilot, masked clinical study, cats were randomized to a single treatment with NV-02 (0.4 mg/kg SC [n = 11] or 0.8 mg/kg SC [n = 12]) or placebo (saline, SC [n = 11]). Activity was measured objectively. Additionally, owners completed clinical metrology instruments (client-specific outcome measures [CSOM] and feline musculoskeletal pain index [FMPI]) on days 0 (screening), 14 (baseline), 35, 56, and 77. A repeated-measures model was used to evaluate the objective activity data.

RESULTS: NV-02 significantly increased objectively measured activity overall (P = .017) and at 2 (P = .035), 3 (P = .007), 4 (P = .006), 5 (P = .007), and 6 (P = .017) weeks after treatment. CSOM scores (P = .035) and pain (P = .024) showed a significant effect of treatment 3 weeks after administration. In the treatment group, 83% of the owners correctly identified the treatment administered compared with 45% of owners in the placebo group (P = .013). No treatment-related adverse effects were identified.

CONCLUSIONS: These pilot data demonstrate a 6-week duration positive analgesic effect of this fully felinized anti-NGF antibody in cats suffering from DJD-associated pain.

description: In the scenario with Z mediated flavor changing neutral current occurring at the tree level due to the addition of a vector-like isosinglet down-type quark d' to the SM particle spectrum, we perform a chi square fit using the flavor physics data and obtain the best fit value along with errors of the tree level Zbs coupling, U_{sb}. The fit indicates that the new physics coupling is constrained to be small: we obtain |U_{sb}| <= 3.40 X 10^{-4} at 3 sigma. Still this does allow for the possibility of new physics signals in some of the observables such as semileptonic CP asymmetry in Bs decays.

description: Usually broadband wireless access networks are considered to be enterprise level networks providing us with more capacity as well as coverage. We have seen that in remote inaccessible areas wired networks are not at all cost effective. Wireless networking has offered us an alternative solution for such problem of information access. They have definitely changed the way people communicate and share information among themselves by overcoming problems nowadays associated with distance and location. This paper provides a comparison and technical analysis of alternatives for implementing last-mile wireless broadband services. It provides detailed technical differences between 802.11 (Wi-FI) wireless networks with 802.16 (WiMAX), a new technology that solves many of the difficulties in last-mile implementations.

title: Impact of hotel discount strategies on consumers' emotion and behavior in the presence of high and low involvement consumers
Creators: name: Lee, Seung H.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: While hotels come up with various discount strategies to attract consumers, especially during a recession, both hotels and consumers seem to favor dynamic pricing. Yet there are not enough studies available to reveal that dynamic pricing would positively impact consumers. Studies also indicated that price discounts give consumers not only monetary benefits but also positive emotional responses. The purpose of this study was to investigate how uniform pricing and dynamic pricing influence consumers' emotion and behavior, in the presence of low involvement and high involvement consumers. The results of study suggested that high involvement consumers responded more positively to dynamic pricing than uniform pricing. Moreover, younger and female consumers are more likely to be involved in obtaining a discount, and high involvement consumers showed more positive feelings, and were more likely to tell others and make repeat purchases from a discount as compared to low involvement consumers.

SU(3) deconfining phase transition with finite volume corrections due to a confined exterior

description: Using the geometry of a double-layered torus we investigate the deconfining phase transition of pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory by Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. In one layer, called "outside", the temperature is set below the deconfining temperature and in the other, called "inside", it is iterated to a pseudo-transition temperature. Lattice sizes are chosen in a range suggested by the physical volumes achieved in relativistic heavy ion collisions and both temperatures are kept close enough to stay in the SU(3) scaling region. Properties of the transition are studied as function of the volume for three outside temperatures. When compared with infinite volume extrapolations, small volume corrections of the deconfining temperature and width become competitive with those found by including quarks. Effective finite size scaling exponents of the specific and Polyakov loop susceptibilities are also calculated.

description: Astronomy has been at the forefront of the development of the techniques and methodologies of data intensive science for over a decade with large sky surveys and distributed efforts such as the Virtual Observatory. However, it faces a new data deluge with the next generation of synoptic sky surveys which are opening up the time domain for discovery and exploration. This brings both new scientific opportunities and fresh challenges, in terms of data rates from robotic telescopes and exponential complexity in linked data, but also for data mining algorithms used in classification and decision making. In this paper, we describe how an informatics-based approach-part of the so-called "fourth paradigm" of scientific discovery-is emerging to deal with these. We review our experiences with the Palomar-Quest and Catalina Real-Time Transient Sky Surveys; in particular, addressing the issue of the heterogeneity of data associated with transient astronomical events (and other sensor networks) and how to manage and analyze it.

title: The Effects of cultural experience and subdivision on tapping to slow tempi
Creators: name: Ullal, Sangeeta
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Our ability to accurately synchronize with rhythmic patterns is constrained by two factors: temporal length and interval structure. By using strategies such as subdivision, we can improve synchronization accuracy at slow tempos, but our ability to utilize subdivisions is constrained by the nature of interval ratios contained in culture-specific subdivision types. Western music falls within a restricted temporal range and its metrical subdivisions contain simple ratios, but Indian music violates these constraints. The present study examines the effects of culture-specific experience on these constraints. American and Indian listeners were asked to perform synchronous tapping to a stimulus with a slow tempo which was accompanied by silence or by a rhythmic pattern that subdivided the inter-event interval into groups of two or three (simple), or alternating units of two and three (complex). On a subset of trials, the subdividing pattern switched halfway through the trial, from a simple to simple, simple to complex, or complex to simple. Western listeners found complex patterns more challenging to reproduce, and exhibited a decrease in accuracy of synchronization whenever there was a switch away from a simple meter. By contrast, Indian listeners performed comparably across all subdivision patterns, and exhibited a drop in accuracy whenever there was a switch. These results reflect the role of passive cultural exposure to our ability to synchronize with different metrical patterns, and have important implications for ability to form mental representations.

description: This article reviews the current status of theoretical modeling of electric dipole radiation from spinning dust grains. The fundamentally simple problem of dust grain rotation appeals to a rich set of concepts of classical and quantum physics, owing the the diversity of processes involved. Rotational excitation and damping rates through various mechanisms are discussed, as well as methods of computing the grain angular momentum distribution function. Assumptions on grain properties are reviewed. The robustness of theoretical predictions now seems mostly limited by the uncertainties regarding the grains themselves, namely their abundance, dipole moments, size and shape distribution.

description: In the preface to Leaves of Grass Walt Whitman said, "The poets of the kosmos advance through all interpositions and coverings and turmoils and stratagems to first principles. They are of use--they dissolve poverty from its need, and riches from its conceit." My poetry aims to exist in Whitman's `kosmos' and in doing so advance through the turmoil and the strategies of certainty to something resembling principles. Politics is a common theme; it is not in an attempt to write political poetry, but an attempt to not leave anything out. Other themes throughout this manuscript include death, music, wanting, having, not-having, science, space, comedy, sex and the dreary light of zoo. My poetry has been heavily influenced by the poets Weldon Kees, Frank O'Hara, William Blake, Larry Levis, Allen Ginsberg and John Ashberry (to name a few) because these poets wrote poetry that hoped to whole everything, incorporating and impugning all the culture they could into their poems. Whether that included other poets, music, movies, paintings, television or anything that might be considered culture (high-brow or low-brow) these poets kept their minds and poetry open, and my poetry aims to do the same; because as Walt Whitman says later in his preface to Leaves of Grass, "Anyone and everyone is owner of the library."

description: Next-generation sequencing technologies generate millions of short sequence reads, which are usually aligned to a reference genome. In many applications, the key information required for downstream analysis is the number of reads mapping to each genomic feature, for example to each exon or each gene. The process of counting reads is called read summarization. Read summarization is required for a great variety of genomic analyses but has so far received relatively little attention in the literature. We present featureCounts, a read summarization program suitable for counting reads generated from either RNA or genomic DNA sequencing experiments. featureCounts implements highly efficient chromosome hashing and feature blocking techniques. It is considerably faster than existing methods (by an order of magnitude for gene-level summarization) and requires far less computer memory. It works with either single or paired-end reads and provides a wide range of options appropriate for different sequencing applications. featureCounts is available under GNU General Public License as part of the Subread (http://subread.sourceforge.net) or Rsubread (http://www.bioconductor.org) software packages.

description: Experimental results for passive tracer dispersion in the turbulent surface layer under convective conditions are presented. In this case, the dispersion of tracer particles is determined by the interplay of two mechanisms: buoyancy and advection. In the atmospheric surface layer under stable stratification the buoyancy mechanism dominates when the distance from the ground is greater than the Monin-Obukhov length, resulting in a different exponent in the scaling law of relative separation of lagrangian particles (deviation from the celebrated Richardson's law). This conclusion is supported by our extensive atmospheric observations. Exit-time statistics are derived from our experimental dataset, which demonstrates a significant difference between tracer dispersion in the convective and neutrally stratified surface layers.

Authoritarian Policies and Industrial Disputes after Democratization

Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: Authoritarianism
subject: Labor issues

description: Do policies made during authoritarian periods still matter after democratization? This paper attempts to investigate how might the differences in economic and labor policies during authoritarian periods contribute to the differing labor conditions in democratized countries. Based on the comparative country case study and the statistics of labor disputes, the paper examines the relationship between the neoliberal economic policies adopted during the authoritarian rules and the level of labor disputes after democratization. Specifically, we argue that some core policies of the neoliberal reforms, such as the mass privatization of state-owned enterprises, significantly reshuffled the labor force employed in the original enterprises, driving up unemployment and underemployment in the short-term and disrupting the ranks of organized labor. And in combination of labor policies that prohibited the right to collective action, neoliberal policies adopted during the authoritarian periods would greatly undermine the forces of organized labor, contributing to fewer industrial disputes after democratization.

description: We study the contact resistance and the transfer characteristics of back-gated field effect transistors of mono- and bi-layer graphene. We measure specific contact resistivity of ~7kohm*um2 and ~30kohm*um2 for Ni and Ti, respectively. We show that the contact resistance is a significant contributor to the total source-to-drain resistance and it is modulated by the back-gate voltage. We measure transfer characteristics showing double dip feature that we explain as the effect of doping due to charge transfer from the contacts causing minimum density of states for graphene under the contacts and in the channel at different gate voltage.

Each subject (n=12, age 25.5 ± 3.37 years, height 1.73 ± 0.04 m, mass 82.06 ± 16.23) was instrumented with accelerometers at the leg and forehead (sample rate = 1000 Hz). Subjects performed landings from a 30 cm box under three taping conditions: no tape, Low Dye, and Weave. For each condition, subjects completed 5 landing trials. Rest was provided between each trial and order of conditions was counterbalanced. During each landing, accelerations were recorded at 1000 Hz for the leg and head respectively using light-weight accelerometers. Data were reduced by identifying the peak impact accelerations for the leg and head with shock attenuation calculated as [1- head peak impact acceleration/leg peak impact acceleration]*100. Peak impact accelerations as well as shock attenuation were the dependent variables. A repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare dependent variables between taping conditions. There was no significant difference for either leg peak accelerations (F2,22= .532, p = .595), head peak accelerations (F2,22= 1.479, p = .25), or shock attenuation (F2,22= 1.022, p > .376) between conditions (i.e., no tape, Low Dye, Weave). Leg or head peak acceleration or shock attenuation was not influenced by arch taping techniques.

description: No-cloning theorem is fundamental for quantum mechanics and for quantum information science that states an unknown quantum state cannot be cloned perfectly. However, we can try to clone a quantum state approximately with the optimal fidelity, or instead, we can try to clone it perfectly with the largest probability. Thus various quantum cloning machines have been designed for different quantum information protocols. Specifically, quantum cloning machines can be designed to analyze the security of quantum key distribution protocols such as BB84 protocol, six-state protocol, B92 protocol and their generalizations. Some well-known quantum cloning machines include universal quantum cloning machine, phase-covariant cloning machine, the asymmetric quantum cloning machine and the probabilistic quantum cloning machine etc. In the past years, much progress has been made in studying quantum cloning machines and their applications and implementations, both theoretically and experimentally. In this review, we will give a complete description of those important developments about quantum cloning and some related topics. On the other hand, this review is self-consistent, and in particular, we try to present some detailed formulations so that further study can be taken based on those results.

description: : Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) are an attractive cell source for bone tissue engineering applications. However, a critical issue to be addressed before widespread hASC clinical translation is the dramatic variability in proliferative capacity and osteogenic potential among hASCs isolated from different donors. The goal of this study was to test our hypothesis that electrical cell-substrate impedance spectroscopy (ECIS) could track complex bioimpedance patterns of hASCs throughout proliferation and osteogenic differentiation to better understand and predict variability among hASC populations. Superlots composed of hASCs from young (aged 24-36 years), middle-aged (aged 48-55 years), and elderly (aged 60-81 years) donors were seeded on gold electrode arrays. Complex impedance measurements were taken throughout proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. During osteogenic differentiation, four impedance phases were identified: increase, primary stabilization, drop phase, and secondary stabilization. Matrix deposition was first observed 48-96 hours after the impedance maximum, indicating, for the first time, that ECIS can identify morphological changes that correspond to late-stage osteogenic differentiation. The impedance maximum was observed at day 10.0 in young, day 6.1 in middle-aged, and day 1.3 in elderly hASCs, suggesting that hASCs from younger donors require a longer time to differentiate than do hASCs from older donors, but young hASCs proliferated more and accreted more calcium long-term. This is the first study to use ECIS to predict osteogenic potential of multiple hASC populations and to show that donor age may temporally control onset of osteogenesis. These findings could be critical for development of patient-specific bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine therapies.

SIGNIFICANCE: Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) are an appealing cell source for bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications because they can be obtained in high quantities via liposuction procedures and can differentiate down musculoskeletal lineages. However, a major barrier to clinical translation of hASCs is that cells from different donors have varying capacities to proliferate and differentiate. This study used electrical impedance spectroscopy to noninvasively track osteogenic differentiation of age-grouped donors in real time, showing that age-grouped hASCs have distinct complex impedance patterns. This method could be used to improve understanding of the biology that causes variability among hASC populations and to provide quantitative quality control standards for hASC populations in stem cell manufacturing and bone tissue engineering applications.

description: IFS fractals - the attractors of Iterated Function Systems - have motivated plenty of research to date, partly due to their simplicity and applicability in various fields, such as the modeling of plants in computer graphics, and the design of fractal antennas. The statement and resolution of the Fractal-Line Intersection Problem is imperative for a more efficient treatment of certain applications. This paper intends to take further steps towards this resolution, building on the literature. For the broad class of hyperdense fractals, a verifiable condition guaranteeing intersection with any line passing through the convex hull of a planar IFS fractal is shown, in general R^d for hyperplanes. The condition also implies a constructive algorithm for finding the points of intersection. Under certain conditions, an infinite number of approximate intersections are guaranteed, if there is at least one. Quantification of the intersection is done via an explicit formula for the invariant measure of IFS.

title: Room rate parity: A 2010 study of U.S. booking channels
Creators: name: Sipic, Neven
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2010

description: Hotel guests are facing a variety of different hotel rates when booking online. The transparency of the Internet is driving hotel prices towards rate parity. This study investigates room rate parity, room and hotel availability, price consistency, and rate guarantee. The study examines 240 property-date combinations, focusing on ten metropolitan areas, using a sample of 120 hotels for two booking dates, and analyzing three hotels per four hotel segments. The results suggest that Orbitz, an indirect distribution channel, is the best choice when booking rooms in budget and midscale market segments. Furthermore, Expedia offers the best room prices for luxury properties. Room availability is still an issue for third-party distribution channels, while a phone call is still the best channel to ensure room availability.

description: We show that the minimum experimental effort to characterize the proper functioning of a quantum device scales as 2^n for n qubits and requires classical computational resources ~ n^2 2^{3n}. This represents an exponential reduction compared to the best currently available protocol, Monte Carlo characterization. The reduction comes at the price of either having to prepare entangled input states or obtaining bounds rather than the average fidelity itself. It is achieved by applying Monte Carlo sampling to so-called two-designs or two classical fidelities. For the specific case of Clifford gates, the original version of Monte Carlo characterization based on the channel-state isomorphism remains an optimal choice. We provide a classification of the available efficient strategies for device characterization in terms of the number of required experimental settings, average number of actual measurements and classical computational resources.
Identifying and Correcting Health Hazards in the Home: A Pilot Test Among Homes in Clark County, Nevada
Creators: name: La Monica, Sabrina
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: The Nevada Healthy Homes Partnership (NVHHP) is collaboration between University of Nevada - Las Vegas (UNLV), the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD), and other public and private housing authorities and health agencies throughout Clark County, Nevada. The primary mission of the NVHHP is to improve the health of Nevada residents, particularly those in disadvantaged communities, by identifying and addressing conditions in the home environment. For this study, a program created by the NVHHP, entitled "Nevada Healthy Homes" (hereafter, Healthy Homes) was piloted. Home health and risk assessments were conducted in 52 homes, with one or more interventions being provided to the primary resident of each home. These interventions included home-specific educational materials, home safety and cleaning devices, and home remediation. Data were analyzed and findings were summarized. Findings demonstrate an increase among participating households in self-reported ratings of home safety (Z = -2.307, P=.021) and in self-reported ratings of overall home satisfaction (Z = -2.004, P= .045). Data gathered provide insight on unhealthy conditions common in Clark County, Nevada. Suggestions for improvement and areas of future research are provided.

description: We consider a linear transport equation on the edges of a network with time-varying coefficients. Using methods for non-autonomous abstract Cauchy problems, we obtain well-posedness of the problem and describe the asymptotic profile of the solutions under certain natural conditions on the network. We further apply our theory to a model used for air traffic flow management.

description: We present our latest results about the short-term variability of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). We performed broad-band CCD photometric observations using several telescopes in Spain and Chile. We present results based on three years of observations and report the short-term variability of 10 TNOs. Our sample of studied targets contains classical objects: (275809) 2001 QY297, (307251) 2002 KW14, (55636) 2002 TX300, 2004 NT33, (230965) 2004 XA192, and (202421) 2005 UQ513, a resonant body: (84522) 2002 TC302, a scattered target: (44594) 1999 OX3, and two detached objects: (145480) 2005 TB190, and (40314) 1999 KR16. For each target, light curves as well as possible rotation periods and photometric amplitudes are reported. The majority of the observed objects present a low peak-to-peak amplitude, <0.15mag. Only two objects exhibit light curve amplitudes higher than 0.15mag: (275809) 2001 QY297, and (307251) 2002 KW14. We remark two biases in the literature, previously studied in Thirouin et al. (2010) and confirmed by this new study: a bias towards objects with a small amplitude light curve and a second one against objects with a long rotational period in the data base of published rotational periods. We derived constraints on physical properties of some targets. We also report the solar phase curves of (40314) 1999 KR16, and (44594) 1999 OX3 for solar phase angles from 0 degree to around 2 degrees. Part of our discussion is focused on the study of (275809) 2001 QY297 which turned out to be an asynchronous binary system.

title: A Gauge Theoretic Treatment of Rovibrational Motion in Diatoms
Creators: name: Colarch, Gregory
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: The Born-Oppenheimer approximation has long been the standard approach to solving the Schrödinger equation for diatomic molecules. In it, nuclear and electronic motions are separated into "slow" and "fast" degrees of freedom and couplings between the two are ignored. The neglect of non-adiabatic couplings leads to an incomplete description of diatomic motion, and in a more refined approach, non-adiabatic couplings are uncoupled by transforming the angular momentum of the molecule and electrons into the body-fixed frame.
In this thesis we examine a "modern" form of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation by exploiting a gauge theoretic approach in a description of molecular motion. This procedure is described by a U(1) gauge field theory which we call the gauge covariant Born-Oppenheimer approximation. Using this approach we show that the non-adiabatic coupling terms are reproduced and manifest as an effective magnetic monopole vector potential that gives rise to an effective Lorentz type force.
