description: We describe algorithm MINRES-QLP and its FORTRAN 90 implementation for solving symmetric or Hermitian linear systems or least-squares problems. If the system is singular, MINRES-QLP computes the unique minimum-length solution (also known as the pseudoinverse solution), which generally eludes MINRES. In all cases, it overcomes a potential instability in the original MINRES algorithm. A positive-definite preconditioner may be supplied. Our FORTRAN 90 implementation illustrates a design pattern that allows users to make problem data known to the solver but hidden and secure from other program units. In particular, we circumvent the need for reverse communication. While we focus here on a FORTRAN 90 implementation, we also provide and maintain MATLAB versions of MINRES and MINRES-QLP.

title: Statistical inference of a measure for two binomial variates
Creators: name: Petersen, Serena
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: We study measures of a comparison for two independent binomial variates which frequently occur in real situations. An estimator for measure of reduction (MOR) is considered for two sample proportions based on a modified maximum likelihood estimation. We study the desirable properties of the estimator: the asymptotic behavior of its unbiasedness and the variance of the estimator. Since the measure ρ is approximately normally distributed when sample sizes are sufficiently large, one may establish approximate confidence intervals for the true value of the estimators. For numerical study, the Monte Carlo experiment is carried out for the various scenarios of two sets of samples as well as to examine its finite sample behavior. Also, we investigate the behavior of the estimates when sample sizes get large. Two examples are provided to illustrate the use of this new measure, and extended to the hypothesis testing for further statistical inference.
Vertebrate taxonomic composition, species diversity, and paleoecology of two pliocene mid-latitude, inland-basin fossil assemblages: Panaca local fauna (Lincoln County, Nevada) and Hagerman local fauna (Twin Falls County, Idaho)
Creators: name: Meyers, Vicki Lynn
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: I studied the sedimentology, species diversity, relative abundance, paleoenvironment, and paleoecology of the vertebrate fauna of the early Pliocene (Blancan Land Mammal Age) Panaca Formation of southeastern Nevada, and I compared these data with the slightly younger Hagerman fauna of south-central Idaho. The purpose of this study is to characterize the paleoecology and species diversity of mid-latitude inland basins during the Blancan Land Mammal Age, a time of climate change and immigrating taxa from Asia and South America. This study involved surface collecting and screenwashing of the Panaca Formation sediment in Meadow Valley, as well as a compilation of data from previous investigations.
About 500 specimens of large and small mammals, reptiles, and bird fossils were collected from 24 localities in this study. Nine genera of birds were identified for the first time, including Cygnus, Anas, Rallus, Porzana, Callipepla, Spizella, and Buteo. Forty-three genera of vertebrates are documented from the Panaca Formation, including Sinocapra willdownsi, which represents the earliest known caprine bovid in North America.
I compared the Panaca fauna with the Hagerman fauna, which has greater diversity. The Hagerman fauna has many more aquatic taxa: fish, turtles, birds, and mammals. The Panaca faunal assemblage has a larger number of lagomorphs, including the jackrabbit ecomorph Lepoides lepoides. The percentages of mammals in various trophic categories in the two localities are comparable, but Hagerman exhibits a greater number of carnivores. Lagomorphs display by far the highest relative abundance in number of identifiable specimens (NISP) calculations. Relative abundance comparisons suggest that different sampling methods preferentially sample different components of the fauna.
The Panaca and Hagerman Blancan ecosystems are interpreted to have been dominated by fluvial and floodplain environments in a seasonal climate of wet and dry periods, causing lake levels to fluctuate. The Hagerman climate was probably wetter and more temperate, while Panaca was more arid. The occurrence of environment-sensitive taxa and the strata suggest varied habitats within the ecosystem, including riparian, broad-leaf or brushy, and steppe habitats.
I propose that the Amboseli Basin of East Africa is a modern analog for the Blancan inland basins of the western North America. Modern bone assemblage studies of the Amboseli Basin suggest that species diversity and relative abundance of living herbivores is accurately recorded in the fossil record, thus supporting this method of fossil assemblage assessment.
The Analyses of State and Federal Medical Marijuana Laws and How They Apply to Employment
Creators: name: Sergeev, Lizaveta
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study is to analyze and discuss the current discrepancies in the legal system as it applies to medical marijuana in the employment sector. The laws regarding the legalization of medical marijuana are relatively new and have many constraints when applied to employment. On the federal level, medical marijuana remains illegal. Many states have passed some form of legislation legalizing medical marijuana. Unfortunately, only two states have laws that protect users from being discriminated in employment. This leaves employers and employees uncertain about what actions to take when dealing with medical marijuana in the employment sector.

description: We discuss uniform sampling algorithms that are based on stochastic growth methods, using sampling of extreme configurations of polymers in simple lattice models as a motivation. We shall show how a series of clever enhancements to a fifty-odd year old algorithm, the Rosenbluth method, led to a cutting-edge algorithm capable of uniform sampling of equilibrium statistical mechanical systems of polymers in situations where competing algorithms failed to perform well. Examples range from collapsed homo-polymers near sticky surfaces to models of protein folding.

description: Customer churn prediction is a well-known application of machine learning and data mining in Customer Relationship Management, which allows a company to predict the probability of its customer churning. In this study, we extended the application of customer churn prediction to the context of software maintenance contract. In addition, we examined the predictive power of economic factors. Random forest, gradient boosting machine, stacking of random forest and gradient boosting machine, XGBoost, and long short-term memory networks were applied. While an ensemble model and XGBoost performed best, macroeconomic variables did not yield statistically significant improvement in any prediction.

 Stations. TR 7 (MNHN S1 STY 315). TR 16 (MNHN S1 STY 316).
 This species is precisely described by Michaelsen (1918) under the name Styela marquesana but the author includes it in the S. canopus group. (p.33). Later on several authors used the species name S. marquesana for material from the south western Indian Ocean. Kott (1990) united all world wide material with the same anatomy as synonyms under a single name S. canopus owing to the absence of discriminating characters. This name likely corresponds to a group of species.
The specimens from the south of Madagascar have a brown tunic covered with epibionts. The internal lining of the siphons have alternate red and yellow stripes with numerous triangular spinules. The anatomical characters have been described by several authors: a branchial sac with 4 low folds, an elongated stomach, a close gut loop with a lobed anus, 2 gonads on each side, numerous endocarps and a atrial velum with numerous thread-like processes.
 In absence of discriminating characters the general name Styela canopus is used here.

description: Consider a filtering process associated to a hidden Markov model with densities for which both the state space and the observation space are complete, separable, metric spaces. If the underlying, hidden Markov chain is strongly ergodic and the filtering process fulfills a certain coupling condition we prove that, in the limit, the distribution of the filtering process is independent of the initial distribution of the hidden Markov chain. If furthermore the hidden Markov chain is uniformly ergodic, then we prove that the filtering process converges in distribution.

Constellation Shaping for Bit-Interleaved LDPC Coded APSK
Creators: name: Valenti, Matthew C.
name: Xiang, Xingyu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: An energy-efficient approach is presented for shaping a bit-interleaved low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded amplitude phase-shift keying (APSK) system. A subset of the interleaved bits output by a binary LDPC encoder are passed through a nonlinear shaping encoder whose output is more likely to be a zero than a one. The "shaping" bits are used to select from among a plurality of subconstellations, while the unshaped bits are used to select the symbol within the subconstellation. Because the shaping bits are biased, symbols from lower-energy subconstellations are selected more frequently than those from higher-energy subconstellations. An iterative decoder shares information among the LDPC decoder, APSK demapper, and shaping decoder. Information rates are computed for a discrete set of APSK ring radii and shaping bit probabilities, and the optimal combination of these parameters is identified for the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. With the assistance of extrinsic-information transfer (EXIT) charts, the degree distributions of the LDPC code are optimized for use with the shaped APSK constellation. Simulation results show that the combination of shaping, degree-distribution optimization, and iterative decoding can achieve a gain in excess of 1 dB in AWGN at a rate of 3 bits/symbol compared with a system that does not use shaping, uses an unoptimized code from the DVB-S2 standard, and does not iterate between decoder and demodulator.

Optical and Raman characterization of ALD alumina coated multiwall carbon nanotubes and nanoporous gold film
Creators: name: Belai, Naod
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Due to their large surface to volume ratio nanostructures are inherently unstable. To insure long term stability of nano-devices, they have to be rendered inert to their environment. In this study, nanoporous gold films(NPGF) and multiwall carbon nanotubes were coated with ALD alumina of varying thicknesses. Subsequently, the plasmonic property of the former and electronic property of the latter was monitored by Transmittance and Raman Spectroscopy respectively. Transmittance spectra revealed that NPGF passivated by ALD-alumina maintains its plasmonic properties, i.e. its LSPR supporting properties remained intact. Raman spectra of ALD alumina passivated MWNTs show no coating induced changes in its characteristic Raman features. This led to the conclusion that ALD alumina is a benign and suitable technique for thin film passivation of NPGF and MWNTs. This result supports the expansion of ALD's domain as a reliable thin film passivation technique in areas of SERS based biosensor research and the passivation of carbon nanotubes.

description: But what was the history of malicious falsehoods before and after the two popes singled them out for prosecution? For one thing, they had a name:  carote, i.e., carrots! The inquiry leads us to the earliest histories of news; and in this case, Salvatore Bongi's fundamental "Le prime gazzette in Italia,"  in Nuova Antologia di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti, XI,1869, pp.311-46. Concerning the first regular news reports, Bongi says: The writers "were considered to be liars from the earliest times; and since the Italians already used the word carrot metaphorically, to indicate a witty invention, Giovanni Maria Cecchi," a sixteenth-century critic, " imagined that Mercury had given birth to the gazette, by a magical trick, from a carrot left over by the Erymanthian boar." So let's look at two examples of "carote" or misleading stories, later denied, that had significant repercussions at the time.

description: We study many-body properties of quantum harmonic oscillator lattices with disorder. A sufficient condition for dynamical localization, expressed as a zero-velocity Lieb-Robinson bound, is formulated in terms of the decay of the eigenfunction correlators for an effective one-particle Hamiltonian. We show how state-of-the-art techniques for proving Anderson localization can be used to prove that these properties hold in a number of standard models. We also derive bounds on the static and dynamic correlation functions at both zero and positive temperature in terms of one-particle eigenfunction correlators. In particular, we show that static correlations decay exponentially fast if the corresponding effective one-particle Hamiltonian exhibits localization at low energies, regardless of whether there is a gap in the spectrum above the ground state or not. Our results apply to finite as well as to infinite oscillator systems. The eigenfunction correlators that appear are more general than those previously studied in the literature. In particular, we must allow for functions of the Hamiltonian that have a singularity at the bottom of the spectrum. We prove exponential bounds for such correlators for some of the standard models.

An Ecological study of peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, 2006-2010
Creators: name: Barnes, Joseph Graham
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) represent an encouraging conservation biology success story in North America during the twentieth century. Their distribution and population size suffered major restrictions after the initiation of widespread application of the synthetic pesticide dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT) within the U.S. in the 1940s. The species was federally listed as endangered in the U.S. in 1969 and was then delisted in 1999 after DDT was banned in 1972. Herein, I present my ecological research of peregrines within Lake Mead National Recreation Area (LMNRA), concentrating on the years 2006-2010. This thesis is comprised of two chapters. In the first chapter, I describe the development, testing, and utilization of a novel call-broadcast survey protocol to quickly establish territorial occupancy of peregrines. The first chapter represents an article being prepared for publication in early 2011, co-authored with Jef R. Jaeger, and Daniel B. Thompson, therefore I use plural pronouns throughout this chapter to keep it consistent with the future publication work. In Chapter 2, I present results of my ecological studies of peregrines, focusing on known breeding population size, reproductive efforts, spatial distribution, foraging ecology, and competition. In the second chapter, I also report on aquatic bird abundance data I collected during a separate inventory and monitoring project conducted within LMNRA from 2004-2009. The aquatic bird data indicates seasonal shifts of potential prey in relation to observed and collected peregrine diet composition. The ecological results presented in Chapter 2 are consistent with a healthy, still-increasing, breeding population of peregrines. The seemingly recent expansion of breeding peregrines in areas far from water, with their depressed level of reproductive success, indicate a likely habitat quality gradient that may act to limit future population growth in the region. Most compelling, are the abundant availability of aquatic birds, and the high dietary composition of those birds at peregrine territories in close proximity to permanent water. Additionally, I document an increased number of intraspecific agonistic interactions over time, which indicates density-dependent factors may begin regulating peregrine numbers in highly suitable breeding habitat.

description: Among the current sample of over 2000 radio pulsars known primarily in the disk of our Galaxy, millisecond pulsars now number almost 200. Due to the phenomenal success of blind surveys of the Galactic field, and targeted searches of Fermi gamma-ray sources, for the first time in over a decade, Galactic millisecond pulsars now outnumber their counterparts in globular clusters! In this paper, I briefly review earlier results from studies of the Galactic millisecond pulsar population and present new constraints based on a sample of 60 millisecond pulsars discovered by 20 cm Parkes multibeam surveys. I present a simple model of the population containing $\sim 30,000$ potentially observable millisecond pulsars with a luminosity function, radial distribution and scale height that matches the observed sample of objects. This study represents only a first step towards a more complete understanding of the parent population of millisecond pulsars in the Galaxy and I conclude with some suggestions for further study in this area.

The single specimen 3cm large is covered with epibionts. The tunic is bristling with spiny papillae (Monniot & al 2001 fig. 55C–F). The body wall musculature is made of crossed transverse and longitudinal ribbons. On each side the 12 branchial folds recover each other (Fig. 33 A); they have about 28 longitudinal vessels ending in long papillae near the oesophagus. On each side of the endostyle the first fold is not complete. The straight stigmata are cut by parastigmatic vessels. The digestive tract occupies the most part of the left body side (Fig. 33 B). The oesophagus is long. The stomach begins by a wide cardia with longitudinal folds (Fig. 33 B) and the pyloric part is covered by the hepatic gland. The intestine curves to join the oesophagus in a secondary loop. The edge of the anus is simple. The ovary in 2 lobes is located inside the gut loop against the body wall. The testis vesicles are spread internally over the ovary and the intestine. The female papillae are protruding; they are sided by a male papilla and take place on the rectum at the level of the secondary intestinal loop. Numerous endocarps are present.
 The geographic distribution of H. spinosa extends along the western coasts of the Indian Ocean from the Red Sea to South Africa.

Nonlinear Transport through ultra-narrow Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons: non-equilibrium charge and bond currents

description: The electronic nonlinear transport through ultra narrow graphene nanoribbons (sub-$10nm$) is studied. A stable region of negative differential resistance (NDR) appears in the I-V characteristic curve of {\it odd} zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) in both positive and negative polarity. This NDR originates from a transport gap inducing by a selection rule which blocks electron transition between disconnecting energy bands of ZGNR. Based on this transition rule, on/off ratio of the current increases exponentially with the ribbon length up to $10^5$. In addition, charging effects and also spatial distribution of bond currents was studied by using non-equilibrium Green's function formalism in the presence of e-e interaction at a mean field level. On the other hand, we also performed an {\it ab initio} density functional theory calculation of transmission through a passivated graphene nanoribbon to demonstrate robustness of the transport gap against hydrogen termination of the zigzag edges.

description: The purposes of this study were to compare the presenting symptoms, treatment, and outcome between men and women with MI. The study sample consisted of 300 patients (N = 300) who were diagnosed with MI in a county hospital in the Southwest area of the United States.
Chest pain, shortness of breath, sweating, and left arm pain were the most common symptoms reported by both genders. Men had more chest pain than their women counterparts (p = .022). No significant difference was found in the cardiac enzyme levels between both genders. Men had more Q wave changes during MI than women (p = .019). Women suffer MI two and a half years later than men (p = .004). Oxygen, nitrates, morphine sulfate, and heparin were the most common treatments given to men and women. Men received more morphine sulfate (p = .013) and betablockers (p = .011) than women in the emergency department. No significant difference was found in the coronary diagnostic and therapeutic procedures or outcome between both genders.

Controlling costs in the restaurant business is essential to the success or failure of the establishment. In the hospitality industry, labor costs are very high; in fact, they amount to approximately 45% of operating costs. The goal of this review is to promote further research into identifying the specific criteria that govern the relationship between the use of labor resources and the goal of operating efficiency, mainly with a focus on internal marketing as a means by which to control labor costs. This study lays out the relevant literature for understanding sources of labor costs, particularly as they relate to the potential of internal marketing as a source of efficiency. It then appropriately offers recommendations for controlling labor costs in terms of the cost of labor itself (i.e., human-resource management practices), those costs associated with disruptions in the service flow and sources of error or lack of motivation in service delivery (internal marketing), and costs that occur due to gaps between employee preparation and espoused strategy. It concludes with a discussion of implications.

Factors Associated with Parental Decision Making and Childhood Vaccination

description: In order to better understand factors affecting immunization status, logistic regression was used to assess the association of various socio-demographic factors and whether parents would have their child immunized if not a state mandate. Factors included in the study were race, household income, number of children in the household, number of adults in the household, if the child had a primary provider, if the child had a health check-up in the last twelve months, and medical insurance status of the child. The combined Nevada Kindergarten Health Survey Result of 2009-2010 (Year Two) and 2010-2011 (Year Three) conducted by the Nevada Institute for Children's Research and Policy (NICRP) was used as the data source. It was hypothesized that race, household income levels, the size of the family and access to healthcare would affect the decision making process of parents towards vaccination. When the later six variables were considered in a multiple logistic regression model, they significantly predicted whether the parent would have his/her child immunized when it is not a state mandate (p

description: The productivity of citrus plants has not reached its maximum potential due to the action of several factors that directly affect agricultural profitability. Among these factors, weed interference has a great importance since it causes a reduction in crop productivity. Technological limitations and inadequate management of orchards are threats to the sustainability of the crop. Compaction and erosion have motivated some field studies to assess weed management alternatives in the crop interrow, such as the use of cover plants to minimize losses, exploiting more rationally the natural resources. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different cover crops on suppression of weeds in an orange orchard. The research was conducted in a commercial orange production area located in Rio Preto da Eva, AM, Brazil. The experimental design was a randomized block design with six treatments and four replications. Treatments were control, millet, jack bean, forage turnip, brachiaria, millet + jack bean. The evaluated characteristics were weed density, soil cover percentage, total weed dry matter, total cover plant dry matter and growth indices (leaf area index, leaf area ratio, and specific leaf area). Cover plants provided a good dry matter production and had a suppressive effect on weed growth, except for forage turnip. Brachiaria and jack bean presented the highest values of leaf area index and leaf area ratio. Cover plants suppressed weed growth in relation to the producer management, except for the forage turnip.

description: This paper investigates the preservation of hopficity and co-hopficity on passing to finite-index subsemigroups and extensions. It was already known that hopficity is not preserved on passing to finite Rees index subsemigroups, even in the finitely generated case. We give a stronger example to show that it is not preserved even in the finitely presented case. It was also known that hopficity is not preserved in general on passing to finite Rees index extensions, but that it is preserved in the finitely generated case. We show that, in contrast, hopficity is not preserved on passing to finite Green index extensions, even within the class of finitely presented semigroups. Turning to co-hopficity, we prove that within the class of finitely generated semigroups, co-hopficity is preserved on passing to finite Rees index extensions, but is not preserved on passing to finite Rees index subsemigroups, even in the finitely presented case. Finally, by linking co-hopficity for graphs to co-hopficity for semigroups, we show that without the hypothesis of finite generation, co-hopficity is not preserved on passing to finite Rees index extensions.

description: We present the experimental investigation of the non-Gaussian nature of some mixtures of Fock states by reconstructing their Wigner function and exploiting two recently introduced measures of non-Gaussianity. In particular, we demonstrate the consistency between the different approaches and the monotonicity of the two measures for states belonging to the class of phase randomized coherent states. Moreover, we prove that the exact behavior of one measure with respect to the other depends on the states under investigation and devise possible criteria to discriminate which measure is more useful for the characterization of the states in realistic applications.

description: This paper studies groups of maximal size acting harmonically on a finite graph. Our main result states that these maximal graph groups are exactly the finite quotients of the modular group $Γ=\left$ of size at least 6. This characterization may be viewed as a discrete analogue of the description of Hurwitz groups as finite quotients of the $(2,3,7)$-triangle group in the context of holomorphic group actions on Riemann surfaces. In fact, as an immediate consequence of our result, every Hurwitz group is a maximal graph group, and the final section of the paper establishes a direct connection between maximal graphs and Hurwitz surfaces via the theory of combinatorial maps.

Bottom-Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry in the Standard Model and Beyond

description: We computed the bottom-quark forward-backward asymmetry at the Tevatron in the Standard Model and for several new physics scenarios. Near the $Z$-pole, the SM bottom asymmetry is dominated by tree level exchanges of electroweak gauge bosons. While above the $Z$-pole, next-to-leading order QCD dominates the SM asymmetry as was the case with the top quark forward-backward asymmetry. Light new physics, $M_{NP} \precsim 150$ GeV, can cause significant deviations from the SM prediction for the bottom asymmetry. The bottom asymmetry can be used to distinguish between competing NP explanations of the top asymmetry based on how the NP interferes with s-channel gluon and $Z$ exchange.
