description: A mapping observation of the $J=1/2$ $Λ$-type doubling transition (3.3 GHz) of CH has been conducted toward Heiles Cloud 2 (HCL2) in the Taurus molecular cloud complex to reveal its molecular cloud-scale distribution. The observations were carried out with the Effelsberg 100 m telescope. The CH emission is found to be extended over the whole region of HCL2. It is brighter in the southeastern part, which encloses the TMC-1 cyanopolyyne peak than in the northwestern part. Its distribution extends continuously from the peak of the neutral carbon emission (CI peak) to the TMC-1 ridge, as if it were connecting the distributions of the [C I] and C$^{18}$O emissions. Since CH is an intermediate in gas-phase chemical reactions from C to CO, its emission should trace the transition region. The above distribution of the CH emission is consistent with this chemical behavior. Since the CH abundance is subject to the chemical evolutionary effect, the CH column density in HCL2 no longer follows a linear correlation wit the H$_2$ column density reported for diffuse and translucent clouds. More importantly, the CH line profile is found to be composed of the narrow and broad components. Although the broad component is dominant around the CI peak, the narrow component appears in the TMC-1 ridge and dense core regions such as L1527 and TMC-1A. This trend seems to reflect a narrowing of the line width during the formation of dense cores. These results suggest that the 3.3 GHz CH line is a useful tool for tracing the chemical and physical evolution of molecular clouds.

description: Junge Menschen sehen sich durch die Klimakrise einer Einschränkung ihrer Entfaltungs- und Lebensmöglichkeiten gegenübergestellt. Diese explorative Studie verdeutlicht, wie sowohl die Wahrnehmung der Klimakrise, die Verantwortungsattribution, die wahrgenommene Handlungswirksamkeit und die einschlägigen Sozialisationserfahrungen milieuspezifisch strukturiert sind. Informiert durch das Projekt Schools4Future wurden vier Leitfadeninterviews mit Schüler*innen zur Wahrnehmung und Deutung der Klimakrise geführt. Im dreischrittigen Kodierprozess der Grounded Theory konnten Muster der Betroffenheit, der Verantwortungsattribution und der Handlungsstrategien von vier jugendlichen Klimaaktivist*innen aus akademischen und prekären Herkunftsmilieus rekonstruiert werden. Während die sozial bevorteilten Jugendlichen sich als Betroffene und unter dem Fehlverhalten vorangehender Generationen leidende Gruppe wahrnehmen, sehen die sozial benachteiligten Jugendlichen die Klimakrise als ein systemisches Versagen neben anderen. Der medial so vertraute Aktivismus geht von dem gehobenen Milieu aus und verbindet sich mit Konsum als distinktive Praxis des klimafreundlichen Handelns. Im prekären Milieu zeigen sich andere Formen des stillen, konkreten und intrinsisch motivierten Engagements sowie das (schulische) Engagement als Investition in den individuellen, sozialen Aufstieg. Konsistenter Weise sehen sich die akademischen Jugendlichen als bevorteilt in der Bearbeitung der Klimakrise, dethematisieren aber, was die jungen Menschen aus dem sozial schwachen Milieu deutlich diagnostizieren: Der ökologische Fußabdruck ihres Konsums ist ungleich höher als der der benachteiligten Jugendlichen.

description: Tensor models in various forms are being studied as models of quantum gravity. Among them the canonical tensor model has a canonical pair of rank-three tensors as dynamical variables, and is a pure constraint system with first-class constraints. The Poisson algebra of the first-class constraints has structure functions, and provides an algebraically consistent way of discretizing the Dirac first-class constraint algebra for general relativity. This paper successfully formulates the Wheeler-DeWitt scheme of quantization of the canonical tensor model; the ordering of operators in the constraints is determined without ambiguity by imposing Hermiticity and covariance on the constraints, and the commutation algebra of constraints takes essentially the same from as the classical Poisson algebra, i.e. is first-class. Thus one could consistently obtain, at least locally in the configuration space, wave functions of "universe" by solving the partial differential equations representing the constraints, i.e. the Wheeler-DeWitt equations for the quantum canonical tensor model. The unique wave function for the simplest non-trivial case is exactly and globally obtained. Although this case is far from being realistic, the wave function has a few physically interesting features; it shows that locality is favored, and that there exists a locus of configurations with features of beginning of universe.

title: Material Visualisation for Virtual Reality: The Perceptual Investigations
Creators: name: Niu, Mutian
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: Material representation plays a significant role in design visualisation and evaluation. On one hand, the simulated material properties determine the appearance of product prototypes in digitally rendered scenes. On the other hand, those properties are perceived by the viewers in order to make important design decisions. As an approach to simulate a more realistic environment, Virtual Reality (VR) provides users a vivid impression of depth and embodies them into an immersive environment. However, the scientific understanding of material perception and its applications in VR is still fairly limited. This leads to this thesis’s research question on whether the material perception in VR is different from that in traditional 2D displays, as well as the potential of using VR as a design tool to facilitate material evaluation. This thesis is initiated from studying the perceptual difference of rendered materials between VR and traditional 2D viewing modes. Firstly, through a pilot study, it is confirmed that users have different perceptual experiences of the same material in the two viewing modes. Following that initial finding, the research investigates in more details the perceptual difference with psychophysics methods, which help in quantifying the users’ perceptual responses. Using the perceptual scale as a measuring means, the research analyses the users’ judgment and recognition of the material properties under VR and traditional 2D display environments. In addition, the research also elicits the perceptual evaluation criteria to analyse the emotional aspects of materials. The six perceptual criteria are in semantic forms, including rigidity, formality, fineness, softness, modernity, and irregularity. The results showed that VR could support users in making a more refined judgment of material properties. That is to say, the users perceive better the minute changes of material properties under immersive viewing conditions. In terms of emotional aspects, VR is advantageous in signifying the effects induced by visual textures, while the 2D viewing mode is more effective for expressing the characteristics of plain surfaces. This thesis has contributed to the deeper understanding of users’ perception of material appearances in Virtual Reality, which is critical in achieving an effective design visualisation using such a display medium.

description: Recently CsTlCl3 and CsTlF3 perovskites were theoretically predicted to be potential superconductors if they are optimally doped. The synthesis of these two compounds, together with a complete characterization of the samples are reported. CsTlCl3 is obtained as orange crystals in two different polymorphs: a tetragonal (I4/m) and a cubic (Fm-3m) phase. CsTlF3 is formed as a light brown powder, also as a double cubic perovskite (Fm-3m). In all three CsTlX3 phases Tl1+ and Tl3+ were located in two different crystallographic positions that accommodate their different bond lengths. In CsTlCl3 some Tl vacancies are found in the Tl1+ position. The charge ordering between Tl1+ and Tl3+ was confirmed by x-ray absorption and Raman spectroscopy. The Raman spectroscopy of CsTlCl3 under high pressure (58 GPa) did not indicate any phase transition to a possible single Tl2+ state. However, the highly insulating material becomes less resistive with increasing high pressure, while undergoing a change in the optical properties, from transparent to deeply opaque red, indicative of a decrease of the band gap. The theoretical design and experimental validation of the existence of CsTlF3 and CsTlCl3 cubic perovskites is the necessary first step in confirming the theoretical prediction of superconductivity in these materials.

description: We show that fluctuations of the fireball shape in the longitudinal direction generate nontrivial rapidity correlations that depend not only on the rapidity difference, y_{1} - y_{2}, but also on the rapidity sum, y_{1} + y_{2}. This is explicitly demonstrated in a simple wounded nucleon model, and the general case is also discussed. We show how to extract different components of the fluctuating fireball shape from the measured two-particle rapidity correlation function. The experimental possibility of studying the longitudinal initial conditions in heavy-ion and proton-proton collisions is emphasized.

Mapping the Boulder City wetlands using a global positioning system (GPS) and a geographic information system (GIS)
Creators: name: Bishop, Jennifer Lea

Year: 2000

description: The Boulder City Wetlands is a constructed wetlands park located in Boulder
City, Nevada, approximately 23 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. Currently, a
baseline study of water quality is being conducted in the Boulder City Wetlands. This
baseline study of the wetlands is an important step in understanding the development of
the Boulder City Wetlands over time. As wastewater is eventually introduced into the
existing community tap water running through the wetlands, it is expected that the
nitrogen within the water will enhance the growth of vegetation in the surrounding area.
Comparing the vegetation growth over time is only possible if a baseline study has been
conducted. The intent of this research effort was to conduct a baseline study of the
Boulder City Wetlands and develop a system in which environmental scientists can
closely monitor the wetlands vegetation. This current and future vegetation monitoring of
the Boulder City Wetlands is possible using the technologies of Global Positioning
Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Cross-sectional study of strength in sharing: Philanthropy in Girl Scouting
Creators: name: Barbusca, Juergen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2002

description: On the morning of September 11th, the world was witness to a tragedy that represented the very worst and the very best of what human beings are capable. Marked by heroic deeds with life-saving consequences, caring acts performed by complete strangers, and charitable giving carried out by a shocked but generous country, the events of September are prime exemplars of America's philanthropic tradition. For some, these humanitarian acts were instinctive, for others more purposeful and conscious, and for still others perhaps an appeal to duty. The response to the immediate and longer-term needs of the victims, their families and communities affected by the events of September is but one example of what it means to be a caring and compassionate society. De Tocqueville recognized this over 150 years ago when he wrote, "If some great and sudden calamity befalls a family, the purses of a thousand strangers are at once willingly opened and small but numerous donations pour in to relieve their distress" (Mayer & Lerner, 1966). Yet, the notion of people helping people is as old as human nature itself. Social researchers have offered valuable theories to help explain how prosocial behavior is developed and nurtured in humans, and how it cuts cleanly across class, cultural, gender, and religious distinctions. Other groups have meanwhile joined researchers, including non-profit agencies, religious organizations, professional societies, and charitable foundations in the desire to better understand prosocial behavior in order to help strengthen the philanthropic tradition. Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) is one example of a group that is directing efforts toward strengthening the philanthropic tradition. GSUSA is a youth organization for girls with a mission to "inspire girls with the highest ideals of character, conduct, patriotism, and service that they may become happy and resourceful citizens" (Girl Scouts of the USAa, 2000). Through a new program initiative designed for its female youth members called, Strength in Sharing: Philanthropy in Girl Scouting, the organization is attempting to enhance and develop certain attributes that are believed to be associated with the attitudes necessary to develop a philanthropic tradition.

description: We extend the adiabatic regularization method to spin-1/2 fields. The ansatz for the adiabatic expansion for fermionic modes differs significantly from the WKB-type template that works for scalar modes. We give explicit expressions for the first adiabatic orders and analyze particle creation in de Sitter spacetime. As for scalar fields, the adiabatic method can be distinguished by its capability to overcome the UV divergences of the particle number operator. We also test the consistency of the extended method by working out the conformal and axial anomalies for a Dirac field in a FLRW spacetime, in exact agreement with those obtained from other renormalization prescriptions. We finally show its power by computing the renormalized stress-energy tensor for Dirac fermions in de Sitter space.

PROTEIN AND RNA IMMUNOPRECIPITATION FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC SERUM AUTOANTIBODIES IN SYSTEMIC AUTOIMMUNE RHEUMATIC DISEASES.
Creators: name: CERIBELLI, ANGELA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Serum autoantibodies play a key role in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases for diagnostic, classification and prognostic purposes. Research of new autoantibodies has been very active in the last decade in rare connective tissue diseases such as systemic sclerosis and poly/dermatomyositis, with new biomarkers entering the clinical practice. Immunoprecipitation of protein and/or RNA components of the target autoantigens constitutes the gold standard method for the discovery of new autoantibodies in a screening setting but is considered time- and labor-intensive and, accordingly, is performed only in a few laboratories worldwide. As a result, alternative techniques such as ELISA and immunoblotting are often preferred for large-scale testing, despite the lack of standardization. The aims of the present project are (1) to set up protein- and RNA- immunoprecipitation in our laboratory and (2) to describe serum autoantibodies identified in our series of patients affected by systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases. During the PhD program we were able to perform correctly protein-and RNA-immunoprecipitation in our laboratory as demonstrated by positive reference sera, and then by the identification of known but also new and rare autoantibodies, as represented by two new patterns immunoprecipitated in systemic sclerosis, corresponding to serum anti-hnRNP-L and anti-mitochondrial antibodies. In psoriatic arthritis we also analyzed the concentration of circulating levels of LL37, a recently established target of autoimmune response at the skin level, and we identified an increased production in a subset of patients. In conclusion, performing protein- and RNA-immunoprecipitation as a screening method in our laboratory allows a more complete and specific autoantibody analysis that cannot be performed by the commercial techniques available nowadays, and further analysis of the role of LL37 in psoriatic arthritis patients may help in the identification of a new biomarker in this condition.

ROVOR is an 0.4m optical telescope located in central Utah and commissioned for scientific observations in 2008. Principle research has been monitoring blazars, x-ray binaries, AGN, and an occasional gamma-ray burst afterglow. We describe the observatory, the control system, and its unique roof.

description: Thermal noise can destroy topological insulators (TI). However we demonstrate how TIs can be made stable in dissipative systems. To that aim, we introduce the notion of band Liouvillian as the dissipative counterpart of band Hamiltonian, and show a method to evaluate the topological order of its steady state. This is based on a generalization of the Chern number valid for general mixed states (referred to as density matrix Chern value), which witnesses topological order in a system coupled to external noise. Additionally, we study its relation with the electrical conductivity at finite temperature, which is not a topological property. Nonetheless, the density matrix Chern value represents the part of the conductivity which is topological due to the presence of quantum mixed edge states at finite temperature. To make our formalism concrete, we apply these concepts to the two-dimensional Haldane model in the presence of thermal dissipation, but our results hold for arbitrary dimensions and density matrices.

description: The application of a perpendicular electric field can drive silicene into a gapless state, characterized by two nearly fully spin-polarized Dirac cones owing to both relatively large spin-orbital interactions and inversion symmetry breaking. Here we argue that since inter-valley scattering from non-magnetic impurities is highly suppressed by time reversal symmetry, the physics should be effectively single-Dirac-cone like. Through numerical calculations, we demonstrate that there is no significant backscattering from a single impurity that is non-magnetic and unit-cell uniform, indicating a stable delocalized state. This conjecture is then further confirmed from a scaling of conductance for disordered systems using the same type of impurities.

description: We consider a one-dimensional gas of hard point particles in a finite box that are in thermal equilibrium and evolving under Hamiltonian dynamics. Tagged particle correlation functions of the middle particle are studied. For the special case where all particles have the same mass, we obtain analytic results for the velocity auto-correlation function in the short time diffusive regime and the long time approach to the saturation value when finite-size effects become relevant. In the case where the masses are unequal, numerical simulations indicate sub-diffusive behaviour with mean square displacement of the tagged particle growing as t/ln(t) with time t. Also various correlation functions, involving the velocity and position of the tagged particle, show damped oscillations at long times that are absent for the equal mass case.

description: The principle of minimal coupling has been used in the study of Higgs boson interactions to argue that certain higher dimensional operators in the low-energy effective theory generalization of the Standard Model are suppressed by loop factors, and thus smaller than others. It also has been extensively used to analyze beyond-the-standard-model theories. We show that in field theory, and even in quantum mechanics, the concept of minimal coupling is ill-defined and inapplicable as a general principle, and give many pedagogical examples which illustrate this fact. We also clarify some related misconceptions about the dynamics of strongly coupled gauge theories. Many arguments in the literature on Higgs boson interactions that use minimal coupling, particularly in pseudo-Goldstone Higgs theories, are inherently flawed.

NEUROINFLAMMATION AND DEFECTIVE MYELINATION IN POLYMICROGYRIA
Creators: name: FERRARA, SILVIA

description: Polymicrogyria (PMG) is a condition characterized by abnormal prenatal brain development and excessive number of ectopic small gyri in the cerebral cortex. PMG patients present an excessive number of abnormally small gyri separated by shallow sulci, associated with fusion of the overlying molecular layer of the cerebral cortex. The topographic distribution of PMG may be focal, multifocal or diffuse; unilateral or bilateral; symmetric or asymmetric. Clinical manifestations have a large spectrum, ranging from isolated selective impairment of cognitive functions to severe encephalopathy and intractable epilepsy. The severity of neurological manifestations and the age at presentation are in part influenced by the extent and localization of the cortical malformations but may also depend on its specific aetiology. The pathogenesis is still poorly understood, several causative gene mutations have been recently found, but also other causes has been identified (prenatal infections, ipoxia). Experimentally, the mouse model of polymicrogyria (PMG) displays the formation of ectopic microgyri in the mouse cortex, enhanced excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission accompanied by increased connectivity in the paramicrogyral cortex and higher susceptibility to epilepsy in vitro. Besides the alteration in the cortical layering, the molecular, morphological and behavioural analysis of PMG mice reveal a significant astrogliosis and microglial activation, indicating the occurrence of an inflammatory process. In addition, a diffuse cortical hypomyelination is evident in brain slices stained for myelin basic protein (MBP). Furthermore, PMG mice displayed altered EEG profile and defective motor skills such as reduced brawn. All these features make PMG model suitable for the study of the pathology and to investigate possible therapeutic approaches. Here we found that transplantation of human neural stem cells (hNSCs), which has been demonstrated to exert positive effects on inherited or acquired myelination disorders and to dampen brain inflammation, plays a beneficial effect on the pathological condition of PMG ameliorating the myelination defect by promoting oligodendrocyte precursors proliferation and remodelling of myelin fibres. Our data also show that hNSC transplantation restores normal EEG brain activity and improves motor performances. Moreover, we tried a pharmacological blockade of IL-1R activation by the IL-1R antagonist: anakinra. We found that this treatment leads to a significant improvement of EEG and motor skills in adult PMG mice thus suggesting a possible role of inflammation at the root of the pathology and identifying a therapeutic time window for the treatment.
A Comparison of population sizes and number of captures for the Desert Woodrat (Neotoma lepida) in two microhabitats in the Las Vegas Wash, Nevada

description: Planned removal and eradication of saltcedar in the Las Vegas Wash, Nevada could potentially generate adverse impacts on present desert woodrat (Neotoma lepida) populations inhabiting the area. Consequently, research was conducted investigating population sizes of N. lepida in two distinct microhabitat types, saltcedar (Tamarix sp.) and mesquite/quailbush (Prosopis sp./Atriplex lentiformis). The results of this study will aid in gauging the effects of the changes in vegetation once restoration work is completed and assist with logistical scheduling for implementation of control measures. Mark-recapture field techniques were utilized for data collection from July 2002 to June 2003. Population estimates were calculated using program CAPTURE. Preference for specific microhabitat type and dependence of population size on temperature were analyzed using G-tests and chi-square tests, respectively. It was determined that N. lepida preferred the saltcedar microhabitats to the mesquite/quailbush microhabitats and that population sizes increased with increased ambient air temperatures.
Spatiotemporal two-dimensional solitons in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

description: We introduce spatiotemporal solitons of the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (2D CCQGLE) with cubic and quintic nonlinearities in which asymmetry between space-time variables is included. The 2D CCQGLE is solved by a powerful Fourier spectral method, i.e., a Fourier spatial discretization and an explicit scheme for time differencing. Varying the system's parameters, and using different initial conditions, numerical simulations reveal 2D solitons in the form of stationary, pulsating and exploding solitons which possess very distinctive properties. For certain regions of parameters, we have also found stable coherent structures in the form of spinning (vortex) solitons which exist as a result of a competition between focusing nonlinearities and spreading while propagating through medium.

Trail conditions and preferences from a mountain bike users perspective in Cottonwood Valley
Creators: name: Frampton, Jeff
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: The purpose of this study was to gather baseline data and user preferences from a mountain bike users perspective about the current condition of the multiple use trails in Cottonwood Valley. Cottonwood Valley is an area located at the southern tip of the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Multiple use includes hiking, biking and horseback riding and does not include motorized vehicles. The area was set aside for conservation by an act of Congress because of the inherent value that it represents.
Because the public is allowed to access and use the trails in the area, there has been degradation to the land. Educating this user group on rules and etiquette may be beneficial for future use in the area. The impact to the trail and surrounding areas will need to be addressed by the users to find out if these impacts are negative or positive as viewed by the users. A Visitor Employed Photography survey was used to capture what trail attributes effects cyclists in a negative or positive way. These results were fed into the second part of the study.
Phase two gathered specific criteria and places where attributes arose. Re-occurring attributes of the trail that were attained during this study were categorized and used to establish preferences and effects of impacts to users of the trail system. From these a deeper investigation into what the problem aspects are and why they occur were addressed. The positive aspects were also analyzed and categorized to determine if they can be replicated in future trails. This gives some insight into what mountain bikers preferences are on established trails. This information will help establish a baseline of criteria to use if future studies are done on trail conditions and user groups.
