description: We present a forecast of the cosmological parameter estimation using fast radio bursts (FRBs) from the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA), focusing on the issues of dark energy, the Hubble constant, and baryon density. We simulate $10^5$ and $10^6$ localized FRBs from a 10-year SKA observation, and find that: (i) using $10^6$ FRB data alone can tightly constrain dark-energy equation of state parameters better than CMB+BAO+SNe, providing an independent cosmological probe to explore dark energy; (ii) combining the FRB data with gravitational-wave standard siren data from 10-year observation with the Einstein Telescope, the Hubble constant can be constrained to a sub-percent level, serving as a powerful low-redshift probe; (iii) using $10^6$ FRB data can constrain the baryon density $Ω_{\rm b}h$ to a precision of $\sim 0.1\%$. Our results indicate that SKA-era FRBs will provide precise cosmological measurements to shed light on both dark energy and the missing baryon problem, and help resolve the Hubble tension.

description: Let $P$ be a locally finite poset with the interval space $\Int(P)$, and $R$ a ring with identity. We shall introduce the Möbius conjugation $μ^\ast$ sending each function $f:P\to R$ to an incidence function $μ^\ast(f):\Int(P)\to R$ such that $μ^\ast(fg)=μ^\ast(f)\astμ^\ast(g)$. Taking $P$ to be the intersection poset of a hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{A}$, we shall obtain a convolution identity for the number $r(\mathcal{A})$ of regions and the number $b(\mathcal{A})$ of relatively bounded regions, and a reciprocity theorem of the characteristic polynomial $χ(\mathcal{A},t)$, which also leads to a combinatorial interpretation to the values $|χ(\mathcal{A},-q)|$ for large primes $q$. Moreover, all known convolution identities on Tutte polynomials of matroids will be direct consequences after specializing the poset $P$ and functions $f,g$.

description: Robust porous silicon substrates were employed for generating interconnected networks of superconducting ultrathin Nb nanowires. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was performed to investigate the morphology of the samples, which constitute of polycrystalline single wires with grain size of about 10 nm. The samples exhibit nonzero resistance over a broad temperature range below the critical temperature, fingerprint of phase slippage processes. The transport data are satisfactory reproduced by models describing both thermal and quantum fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter in thin homogeneous superconducting wires.

description: Das Teilprojekt 05 der Forschergruppe Diskursivierungen von Neuem behandelt das Verhältnis von ‚alt‘ und ‚neu‘ in Epos und Epostheorie des Secondo Cinquecento. Im Mittelpunkt des Frageinteresses steht Torquato Tassos poema eroico, die 1581 erschienene Gerusalemme liberata. Tassos poema setzt sich vom ‚alten‘ romanzo cavalleresco ab, indem es sich vor allem an dem zeitgenössisch ‚neueren‘ aristotelischen Klassizismus und an gegenreformatorischen Regelsystemen ausrichtet. Dabei kommt es, so die Grundannahme des Teilprojekts, nicht nur zu Versuchen, z.B. Formen ‚älterer‘ varietas mitzuführen und in das neue Gattungsmodell zu integrieren, sondern zu wesentlich weiter reichenden Hybridsierungen: Tasso sortiert die einschlägigen Bezugssysteme nicht antinomisch – etwa in dem Sinne, dass sein poema im Ergebnis entweder ‚gegenreformatorisch‘ oder ‚humanistisch‘ wäre –, sondern amalgamiert sie dergestalt, dass sein Epos gleichsam in between diverser Diskursregeln einen ‚neuen‘, hybriden Fiktionsraum eröffnet. Das vorliegende Working Paper Nr. 2 möchte diesen Problemzusammenhang skizzenhaft anreißen und das geplante Vorgehen im Ansatz anschaulich machen.

description: Despite its centrality in the philosophy of cognitive science, there has been little prior philosophical work engaging with the notion of representation in contemporary NLP practice. This paper attempts to fill that lacuna: drawing on ideas from cognitive science, I introduce a framework for evaluating the representational claims made about components of neural NLP models, proposing three criteria with which to evaluate whether a component of a model represents a property and operationalising these criteria using probing classifiers, a popular analysis technique in NLP (and deep learning more broadly). The project of operationalising a philosophically-informed notion of representation should be of interest to both philosophers of science and NLP practitioners. It affords philosophers a novel testing-ground for claims about the nature of representation, and helps NLPers organise the large literature on probing experiments, suggesting novel avenues for empirical research.

The Influence of Opponent Strategy and Psychopathic Traits on Point Gains and Cooperation in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma
Creators: name: Baggio, Mary
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: The Prisoner's Dilemma game is a paradigm used to model and measure social cooperation. Uncooperative behavior may be one manifestation of the unstable interpersonal functioning in psychopathy. I investigated the effect of opponent strategy as well as psychopathic traits of fearless dominance (FD) and impulsive antisociality (IA) on cooperation rates and total and competitive point gains in a sample of 177 undergraduates playing long, finitely iterated Prisoner's Dilemma games against computerized opponents who varied in their interpersonal styles from very harsh to very lenient. I analyzed rates of cooperation during each game, participants' total points gained, and the difference in points earned between participant and opponent (competitive point gain). These variables were analyzed across the experiment overall and across trials after either participant or computer cooperation or defection on the previous trial. Across the experiment overall, there was significantly less cooperation and total and competitive point gains in the second half compared to the first half of each opponent block of trials, there was a positive association with leniency of opponent strategy and cooperation and total and competitive point gains, and there was a negative association with inconsistent opponent conditions and total and competitive point gains. However, opposing patterns emerged for each when comparing after cooperation and defection on the previous trial. For psychopathy, there were no effects of computer opponent's strategy on these three variables. In the second half of each block of trials, those higher in FD tended to score more total points. Implications and future directions are discussed.

The Effects of Bone Morphogenic Protein 2 on the Viability and Proliferation of Dental Pulp Stem Cell Isolates
Creators: name: Cinelli, Joseph
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Growth factor is an umbrella term used to describe a signaling molecule present in organisms that serves the purpose of influencing a stimulatory or inhibitory response from the target cell it acts on. Growth factors are categorized and classified by the types of tissues they act on and the cellular responses they illicit. For example, there are growth factors that act primarily in connective tissue on fibroblasts and they are aptly classified as the fibroblast growth factor family. Similarly, there is another family of growth factors that act on bone forming cells, among others, and they are known as bone morphogenic proteins. One member from this group of growth factors, BMP-2, is the focus of the current research.
Bone Morphogenic Proteins are part of the Transforming Growth Factor-beta superfamily of growth factors. Recently they have been implicated in a variety of pathological processes including colon cancer and Barrett's esophagus. BMP-2 is known for its ability to stimulate bone formation and is the most successful bone modulator in the family. Its involvement in cellular differentiation into bone forming cells has been shown in many studies. BMP-2 acts on cell surface receptors which, through a series of reactions, enhances the likelihood of differentiating into a bone forming cell. This induction can be demonstrated in a variety of cell types. Those of particular interest are stem cells.
There are three main types of stem cells including: embryonic stem cells, adult non- embryonic stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells. Adult stem cells are the most abundant and are less controversial than embryonic stem cells. Currently adult stem cells are being isolated from a variety of tissues including those of mesenchymal tissue origin. The cell type in the current study are dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) which have been shown to display phenotypic changes in response to various growth factors. The use of multiple growth factors concomitantly on DPSC has not been studied in great depth, and thus it is not known if multiple stimulatory growth factors will act synergistically or antagonistically with one another.
The data from the two following studies provide evidence that BMP-2 provides a stimulating influence on at least one dental pulp stem cell subset. When used concomitantly, BMP-2 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) enhances sDT DPSC phenotype (viability and growth) beyond that of either growth factor independently. Future studies may be needed to evaluate the potential for BMP-2 and other growth factors to induce DPSC differentiation and lineage-specific phenotypic changes for bioengineering applications or tissue regeneration.

description: Leaves of vascular plants are arranged regularly around stems, a phenomenon known as phyllotaxis. A constant angle between two successive leaves is called divergence angle. On the one side, the divergence angle $α_0$ of an initial pattern of leaf primordia at a shoot apex is most commonly an irrational number of about 137.5 degrees, called limit divergence. On the other side, the divergence $α$ of a final pattern of leaf traces in the vascular system of a mature stem is expressed in terms of a sequence of rational numbers, 1/2, 1/3, 2/5, 3/8, 5/13, 8/21, called phyllotactic fractions. The mathematical relationship between the initial divergence $α_0$, the final divergence $α$, and the number of internodes traversed by the leaf traces $n_c$ is investigated by means of a theoretical model of vascular phyllotaxis. It is shown that continuous changes of the trace length $n_c$ induce transitions between the fractional orders in the vascular structure. The vascular phyllotaxis transition suggests an evolutionary mechanism for the phenomenon of phyllotaxis. To provide supporting evidence for the model and mechanism, available experimental results for fossil remains of Lepidodendron and the vascular structure of Linum and Populus are analyzed with the model.

description: Humans have a natural ability to perform semantic associations with the surrounding objects in the environment. This allows them to create a mental map of the environment, allowing them to navigate on-demand when given linguistic instructions. A natural goal in Vision Language Navigation (VLN) research is to impart autonomous agents with similar capabilities. Recent works take a step towards this goal by creating a semantic spatial map representation of the environment without any labeled data. However, their representations are limited for practical applicability as they do not distinguish between different instances of the same object. In this work, we address this limitation by integrating instance-level information into spatial map representation using a community detection algorithm and utilizing word ontology learned by large language models (LLMs) to perform open-set semantic associations in the mapping representation. The resulting map representation improves the navigation performance by two-fold (233%) on realistic language commands with instance-specific descriptions compared to the baseline. We validate the practicality and effectiveness of our approach through extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments.

description: We investigate the impact on Fe abundance determination of including magnetic flux in series of 3D radiation-MHD simulations of solar convection which we used to synthesize spectral intensity profiles corresponding to disc centre. A differential approach is used to quantify the changes in theoretical equivalent width of a set of 28 iron spectral lines spanning a wide range in lambda, excitation potential, oscillator strength, Landé factor, and formation height. The lines were computed in LTE using the spectral synthesis code LILIA. We used input magnetoconvection snapshots covering 50 minutes of solar evolution and belonging to series having an average vertical magnetic flux density of 0, 50, 100 and 200 G. For the relevant calculations we used the Copenhagen Stagger code. The presence of magnetic fields causes both a direct (Zeeman-broadening) effect on spectral lines with non-zero Landé factor and an indirect effect on temperature-sensitive lines via a change in the photospheric T-tau stratification. The corresponding correction in the estimated atomic abundance ranges from a few hundredths of a dex up to |Delta log(Fe)| ~ 0.15 dex, depending on the spectral line and on the amount of average magnetic flux within the range of values we considered. The Zeeman-broadening effect gains relatively more importance in the IR. The largest modification to previous solar abundance determinations based on visible spectral lines is instead due to the indirect effect, i.e., the line-weakening caused by a warmer stratification on an optical depth scale. Our results indicate that the average solar iron abundance obtained when using magnetoconvection models can be 0.03-0.11 dex higher than when using the simpler HD convection approach. We demonstrate that accounting for magnetic flux is important in state-of-the-art solar photospheric abundance determinations based on 3D simulations.

The Effects of Sex Role Stereotype Endorsement and Work-Family Conflict on Emerging Adult Aspirations
Creators: name: Fink-Armold, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Workplace and household inequality remain prevalent in the United States and sex role (e.g. breadwinner and caregiver) stereotypes affect the roles that individuals seek out. This research used a mixed-methods approach to investigate the effects of sex role stereotypes and expected work-family conflict on the work and family aspirations of emerging adults. A racially diverse sample wrote freely about their future selves for ten minutes then completed measures to evaluate their sex-role stereotype endorsement, expected work-family conflict, and personal preferences for career and family roles. Results indicate that endorsement of stereotypes predicts increased expectations of work-family conflict, for both men and women, possibly because sex-role stereotypes do not allow for a harmonious unification of both roles. Multiple mediator analyses revealed complex relationships, including findings that time-based and stress-based work-family conflict partially explain the link between stereotype endorsement and value of familial and occupational roles. The narratives produced by participants demonstrate how caregiver and breadwinner stereotypes are conceptualized by individuals and integrated into their descriptions of their future lives. The narratives suggest that women who reject sex role stereotypes may also reject traditional family compositions and may not feel that assuming traditional roles and behaving in nurturing, "feminine" ways are mutually exclusive.

description: Mit seinem höfischen Roman „Troilus and Criseyde“ und seiner Traumvision „The House of Fame“ präsentiert der spätmittelalterliche englische Dichter Geoffrey Chaucer zwei Erzählungen über den trojanischen Krieg. In diesen wird, wie in der mittelalterlichen Trojatradition allgemein, die Verhandlung des Neuen vor dem Hintergrund einer langen und in sich oft widersprüchlichen Rezeptionsgeschichte betont. In diesem Aufsatz soll gezeigt werden, dass sich die Modellierung von „Neuem“ in diesen Texten als eine Übereinanderlagerung verschiedener Zeitlichkeiten begreifen lässt. „Troilus and Criseyde” führt eine Poetik vor, die im „House of Fame“ meta-poetisch expliziert wird. Literarische Novation ist demnach ein Prozess, der mit der imaginären Vervielfältigung von Bildern beginnt, die - jeweils aus ihren zeitlichen und thematischen Zusammenhängen herausgelöst - zu sich widerstrebenden Traditionen verdichtet werden (Latours „Purifikation“) und dann diejenigen Hybridisierungen vorgängiger Zeitlichkeiten ermöglichen, die als Novation zu fassen sind.

The Effects of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor on the Characteristics of Pluripotent Dental Pulp Stem Cells
Creators: name: Forgues, Cale
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Many believe that stem cells hold the key to regenerative medicine. Therefore, research with stem cells has become increasingly popular over the years. Three specific groups of study have become present in literature. The first group has focused much of their research on harvesting and cultivating stem cell lines to retain their pluripotent ability. Stem cells can be tricky to cultivate and preserve over time as they will often differentiate or die. Another group examines the specific characteristics that a pluripotent stem cell has and how to retain, or even create, a cell with pluripotent potential. Lastly, the third group aims to focus on the ability to differentiate stem cells down specific cell lineages for therapeutic use. This study will draw upon the latter two focuses and examine the specific characteristics of stem cells when combined with a cytokine during cultivation.
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) are a family of growth factors known to play an important part in embryonic development of vascular formation as well as dental development. The processes of neovascularization, formation of new vessels in adults, is highly reliant on the presence of VEGF for both the activation and attraction of undifferentiated bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). While this is the case with bone marrow derived MSCs, few studies have shown the effects VEGF has on other adult stem cell lines, such as dental pulp stem cells (DPSC).
Dental pulp stem cells have only recently been discovered. Another source for pluripotent stem cells, DPSCs are easily harvested from avulsed or extracted teeth. Further studies hope to determine the versatility of DPSCs and find specific uses for them in regenerative therapies.

description: Audio-visual speech enhancement (AV-SE) aims to enhance degraded speech along with extra visual information such as lip videos, and has been shown to be more effective than audio-only speech enhancement. This paper proposes further incorporating ultrasound tongue images to improve lip-based AV-SE systems' performance. Knowledge distillation is employed at the training stage to address the challenge of acquiring ultrasound tongue images during inference, enabling an audio-lip speech enhancement student model to learn from a pre-trained audio-lip-tongue speech enhancement teacher model. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in the quality and intelligibility of the speech enhanced by the proposed method compared to the traditional audio-lip speech enhancement baselines. Further analysis using phone error rates (PER) of automatic speech recognition (ASR) shows that palatal and velar consonants benefit most from the introduction of ultrasound tongue images.

description: We examine the evolution of decentralized clearinghouse mechanisms from the 13th to the 18th century; in particular, we explore the clearing of non- or limitedtradable debts like bills of exchange. We construct a theoretical model of these clearinghouse mechanisms, similar to the models in the theoretical matching literature, and show that specific decentralized multilateral clearing algorithms known as rescontre, skontrieren or virement des parties used by merchants were efficient in specific historical contexts. We can explain both the evolutionary self-organizing emergence of late medieval and early modern fairs, and its robustness during the 17th and 18th century.
Cosmic Evolution in Self-Interacting Brans-Dicke Cosmology

description: In this paper, we investigate the nature of self-interacting potential that can support the accelerated expansion of the universe as indicated by observational data. For this purpose, we consider the Bianchi type I (BI) universe model in the Brans-Dicke (BD) field scenario and use a power law for both the scalar field and the scale factor. It is found that the accelerated expansion of the universe can be discussed for a positive power law potential with negative values of the BD parameter. We also explore the evolution of energy density perturbations. This analysis indicates that the model allows growing modes for negative values of the BD parameter and $m>0$.

description: A popular argument for a federal minimum wage is that it will prevent in-work poverty and reduce income inequality. We examine this assertion for Germany, a welfare state with a relative generous means-tested social minimum and high marginal tax rates. Our analysis is based on a microsimulation model that accounts for the interactions between wages, the tax-benefit system and net incomes at the household level as well as employment and price effects on the distribution of incomes induced by the introduction of a minimum wage. We show that the impact of even a relatively high federal minimum wage on disposable incomes is small because low wage earners are scattered over the whole income distribution and wage increases would to a large extent be offset by reductions in means-tested welfare transfers and high marginal tax rates. Taking into account negative employment effects and increases in consumer prices induced by the minimum wage would wipe out any positive direct effects on net incomes of households affected by the minimum wage.
Certifying The Quantumness of A Generalized Coherent Control Scenario

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the role of quantum mechanics in a specific coherent control scenario, designing a "coherent control interferometer" as the essential tool that links coherent control to quantum fundamentals. Building upon this allows us to rigorously display the genuinely quantum nature of a generalized weak-field coherent control scenario (utilizing 1 vs. 2 photon excitation) via a Bell-CHSH test. Specifically, we propose an implementation of "quantum delayed-choice" in a bichromatic alkali atom photoionization experiment. The experimenter can choose between two complementary situations, which are characterized by a random photoelectron spin polarization with particle-like behaviour on the one hand, and by spin controllability and wave-like nature on the other. Because these two choices are conditioned coherently on states of the driving fields, it becomes physically unknowable, prior to measurement, whether there is control over the spin or not.

description: Intelligent edge vision tasks encounter the critical challenge of ensuring power and latency efficiency due to the typically heavy computational load they impose on edge platforms.This work leverages one of the first "AI in sensor" vision platforms, IMX500 by Sony, to achieve ultra-fast and ultra-low-power end-to-end edge vision applications. We evaluate the IMX500 and compare it to other edge platforms, such as the Google Coral Dev Micro and Sony Spresense, by exploring gaze estimation as a case study. We propose TinyTracker, a highly efficient, fully quantized model for 2D gaze estimation designed to maximize the performance of the edge vision systems considered in this study. TinyTracker achieves a 41x size reduction (600Kb) compared to iTracker [1] without significant loss in gaze estimation accuracy (maximum of 0.16 cm when fully quantized). TinyTracker's deployment on the Sony IMX500 vision sensor results in end-to-end latency of around 19ms. The camera takes around 17.9ms to read, process and transmit the pixels to the accelerator. The inference time of the network is 0.86ms with an additional 0.24 ms for retrieving the results from the sensor. The overall energy consumption of the end-to-end system is 4.9 mJ, including 0.06 mJ for inference. The end-to-end study shows that IMX500 is 1.7x faster than CoralMicro (19ms vs 34.4ms) and 7x more power efficient (4.9mJ VS 34.2mJ)
Public Exposure to Outdoor Bioaerosols in Particulate Matter in Las Vegas: Daily and Seasonal Variations
Creators: name: Fortier, Karey Renee

Year: 2019

description: Bioaerosols are airborne particles of biological origin including viruses, bacteria, pollen, fungi, and fragments of their metabolic products. Bioaerosol exposure may represent a health risk, in particular for risk groups such as immunosuppressed persons, and those suffering from allergies or respiratory diseases. Bioaerosols of sizes
This study seeks to assess outdoor bioaerosol number concentrations and size distributions in Las Vegas, NV, as the first step in understanding their health risks. PM2.5 and PM10 were collected on black polycarbonate filters for 24-hour duration using MiniVol air samplers on UNLV campus in the spring and fall of 2017. Bioaerosols in these samples were counted by a direct-stain fluorescence microscopic (DS-FM) method. The size of each particle was also measured, on a daily basis, from which the bioaerosol number concentrations, were determined. DS-FM results were analyzed by statistical methods to examine if there were significant differences between spring and fall with respect to bioaerosol number concentration and size distribution. The samples were also classified by wind conditions to explain the day-to- day variability.
A significant difference was found between the means of bioaerosol concentrations during spring and fall for both PM2.5 and PM10. Bioaerosols of 1 - 2.5 ?m diameter were found to be the most common and peaked in PM10 samples collected during the fall. Windier conditions corresponded to higher concentrations of bioaerosols for both PM10 and PM2.5.This study could be a catalyst for further research on the bioaerosol-public health linkage, which would help refine the National Ambient Air Quality Standards to reduce adverse health outcomes.
Super Rapid Crystal Growth and Quench of Monoclinic Bi-II* During Dynamic Compression
Creators: name: Fussell, Zachary Allen
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: We show that monoclinic Bi-II* forms during a dynamic compression regime with crystal growth rates from melt of ? 70 m/s. This extreme quench rate implies crystallization by non-diffusive processes and indicates that the liquid had a high degree of pre-ordering. Using ambient condition single crystal structure analysis we show for the first time that the monoclinic distorted phase of Bi (Bi-II) exists at ambient pressure, albeit bound to formation under dynamic compression. We review the pressure, temperature, and time conditions for formation and growth of this structure.

description: We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the planet candidates are in the same system, and long-term dynamical stability, which places limits on the masses of the candidates---showing that they are planetary. %This overall method of planet confirmation was first applied to \kepler systems 23 through 32. All of these newly confirmed planetary systems have orbital periods that place them near first-order mean motion resonances (MMRs), including 6 systems near the 2:1 MMR, 5 near 3:2, and one each near 4:3, 5:4, and 6:5. In addition, several unconfirmed planet candidates exist in some systems (that cannot be confirmed with this method at this time). A few of these candidates would also be near first order MMRs with either the confirmed planets or with other candidates. One system of particular interest, Kepler-56 (KOI-1241), is a pair of planets orbiting a 12th magnitude, giant star with radius over three times that of the Sun and effective temperature of 4900 K---among the largest stars known to host a transiting exoplanetary system.

description: To understand the ability and limitations of convolutional neural networks to generate time series that mimic complex temporal signals, we trained a generative adversarial network consisting of deep convolutional networks to generate chaotic time series and used nonlinear time series analysis to evaluate the generated time series. A numerical measure of determinism and the Lyapunov exponent, a measure of trajectory instability, showed that the generated time series well reproduce the chaotic properties of the original time series. However, error distribution analyses showed that large errors appeared at a low but non-negligible rate. Such errors would not be expected if the distribution were assumed to be exponential.
Emerging Adults' Identities, Attitudes, and Orientations Concerning Consensual Non-Monogamy
Creators: name: Stephens, Amber Kory
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: This study considered the connection among aspects of emerging adults' identities and their relational and sociosexual orientations as well as their attitudes toward consensual nonmonogamy (CNM). Results indicated significant relationships among individuals' collective and social identity aspects, as dictated in the AIQ-IV, and how emerging adults label their relational orientations (e.g., strictly monogamous, monogamish, open, and polyamorous). Additionally, findings demonstrated that the salience/importance of social categories, roles, and reputations in one's identity influences how they choose to label their relational orientation, their attitudes toward non-monogamy, and their orientation toward uncommitted sex (sociosexual orientation). Discussion, implications and future directions follow.
