description: Este capítulo apresenta um estudo exploratório sobre a utilização de sensores digitais para exploração do conforto térmico com crianças do 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. O estudo foi desenvolvido com a colaboração de quatro alunas da licenciatura em Educação Básica no contexto da Iniciação à Prática Profissional. As alunas desenharam um conjunto de propostas didáticas que implementaram no âmbito das disciplinas de Ciências Naturais e Matemática do 6.º ano de escolaridade. A partir do registo e tratamento de dados recolhidos com sensores de temperatura e humidade, as crianças foram convidadas a propor soluções de melhoria do ambiente da sua escola, apresentando-as a toda a comunidade escolar. As potencialidades da integração dos sensores em temáticas de ciências e matemática são discutidas em função da análise das planificações e reflexões de alunas da licenciatura em Educação Básica, bem como da análise das soluções propostas pelas crianças do 2.º Ciclo do Ensino Básico. Reflete-se sobre os impactos nos processos de ensino aprendizagem nas crianças, valorizando a compreensão dos fatores associados ao conforto térmico e a alteração de atitudes e comportamentos. Discute-se, também, sobre o percurso de aprendizagens evidenciado pelos alunos, futuros professores, enfatizando a importância da mobilização deste tipo de dispositivos em abordagens transdisciplinares.

description: In this paper, we propose a massive gravity theory with 5 degrees of freedom. The mass term is constructed by 3 Stuckelberg scalar fields, which respects SO(3) symmetry in the fields' configuration. By the analysis on the linear cosmological perturbations, we found that such 5 d.o.f are free from ghost instability, gradiant instability, and tachyonic instability.

Evaluation of a Fluorescence Method for Quantifying Bioaerosol Concentrations on Air Quality Filter Samples
Creators: name: Kolberg, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Airborne particulate matter (PM) in outdoor environments contains many components that cause adverse human health effects. The size of the particulates determine in what manner the particles would bypass the body's defense mechanisms to enter the respiratory system and is directly related to their health impacts. Currently the United States Environmental Protection Agency is enforcing the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to regulate the annual and 24-hour average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 in the air. PM2.5 are fine particles with aerodynamic diameter <2.5?m, small enough to reach the deepest parts of the bronchi and lungs. PM10 include PM2.5 and larger particles with aerodynamic diameter of 2.5-10?m. Both PM2.5 and PM10 contain multiple components from multiple sources. Bioaerosols are an important component of PM, but there is limited knowledge about how bioaerosols contribute to PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations. There is also a lack of research about the incidence and prevalence of disease caused by bioaerosols and about the limits of exposure to bioaerosol particulates. The main barrier to assess bioaerosol concentrations and health-related effects is the absence of quick and inexpensive methodology for quantifying bioaerosols. This study explored the feasibility of using fluorescence microscopy to quickly quantify bioaerosols in PM2.5 and PM10 collected on polycarbonate filters. Bioaerosols were stained with a DNA marker directly on a filter, followed by fixation, microscopic imaging, and automatic counting. The method was first validated using reference samples prepared by depositing different known concentrations of E. coli onto blank polycarbonate filters. The results indicated a linear response over two orders of magnitude (R2 = 0.9) and an accuracy within ±25%. E. coli were also deposited onto selected ambient PM10 and PM2.5 filter samples to determine if pre-loaded particles would interfere with bioaerosol imaging and counting. It was found that despite an increase in uncertainty (variability), the calibration slope remained within ±10% of unity for both PM2.5 and PM10 samples. Bioaerosol concentrations in ambient samples, as quantified by this method, were on average 14% higher for PM10 than for PM2.5 acquired concurrently in a desert environment of Las Vegas, Nevada. The application of this method to other types of compliance filters, such as Teflon filters and tapes of a Beta Attenuation Monitor (BAM) were also explored in this study. By means of a high-yield approach this method is expected to facilitate bioaerosol research, support exposure and health assessments, and help refine NAAQS for PM2.5 and PM10.

description: Many transcription factors bind to DNA with a remarkable lack of specificity, so that regulatory binding sites compete with an enormous number of non-regulatory 'decoy' sites. For an auto-regulated gene, we show decoy sites decrease noise in the number of unbound proteins to a Poisson limit that results from binding and unbinding. This noise buffering is optimized for a given protein concentration when decoys have a 1/2 probability of being occupied. Decoys linearly increase the time to approach steady state and exponentially increase the time to switch epigenetically between bistable states.

Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow: Treatment Effects of the Stages of Employment Job Readiness Program on Program Completion and Employment Outcomes for Ex-Offenders
Creators: name: Hammer, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Foundation for an Independent Tomorrow (FIT) is a local not for profit organization that seeks to assist residents of Southern Nevada by providing workforce development services (e.g., interviewing skills, job searching techniques, resume assistance) to increase a program participant's opportunities to obtain and maintain employment. FIT is currently being federally funded through the Department of Labor's Workforce Investment Act (WIA) grant, with a specific goal of serving the re-entry, or ex-offender, population. This population presents with a very unique set of barriers to obtaining employment, and in order to combat these barriers, FIT created the Stages of Employment job readiness course to better serve this specialized population.
HPH Consulting met with FIT's program director and was commissioned to evaluate the effectiveness of the Stages of Employment job readiness course, with a specific look at the duration of the course and its impact on employment outcomes. FIT provided HPH with data from the completion of their first program year, which resulted in a sample size of 452 participants. Once the data was cleaned and compiled, the resulting population of the sample was 61. With a population smaller than expected, HPH decided to create two separate data sets, one to study the impact to program completion (N = 94) and the other to study annual salary (N = 61).
The results of the regression analyses were for the most part insignificant, with few regression models showing significant impact on program completion or annual salary. These results may be due to the fact that the Stages of Employment job readiness program was not mandatory the first year, as well as experimentation with the program duration. HPH recommends a comprehensive cohort study be conducted after the completion of FIT's third contract year.
Noise-Protected Gate for Six-Electron Double-Dot Qubits

description: Singlet-triplet spin qubits in six-electron double quantum dots, in moderate magnetic fields, can show superior immunity to charge noise. This immunity results from the symmetry of orbitals in the second energy shell of circular quantum dots: singlet and triplet states in this shell have identical charge distributions. Our phase-gate simulations, which include $1/f$ charge noise from fluctuating traps, show that this symmetry is most effectively exploited if the gate operation switches rapidly between sweet spots deep in the (3,3) and (4,2) charge stability regions; fidelities very close to one are predicted if subnanosecond switching can be performed.

description: We analyse multiwavelength observations of an M2.9/1N flare that occurred in AR NOAA 11112 on 16 October 2010. AIA 211 Å EUV images reveal the presence of a faster coronal wave (decelerating from ~1390 to ~830 km/s) propagating ahead of a slower wave (decelerating from ~416 to ~166 km/s) towards the western limb. The dynamic radio spectrum from Sagamore Hill radio telescope shows the presence of metric type II radio burst, which reveals the presence of a coronal shock wave (speed~800 km/s). The speed of the faster coronal wave derived from AIA 211 Å images is found to be comparable to the coronal shock speed. AIA 171 Å high-cadence observations showed that a coronal loop, which was located at the distance of ~0.32 Rs to the west of the flaring region, started to oscillate by the end of the impulsive phase of the flare. The results indicate that the faster coronal wave may be the first driver of the transversal oscillations of coronal loop. As the slower wave passed through the coronal loop, the oscillations became even stronger. There was a plasmoid eruption observed in EUV and a white-light CME was recorded, having velocity of ~340-350 km/s. STEREO 195 Å images show an EIT wave, propagating in the same direction of the lower-speed coronal wave observed in AIA, but decelerating from ~320 to ~254 km/s. These observations reveal the co-existence of both waves (i.e. coronal Moreton and EIT waves), and type II radio burst seems to be associated with the coronal Moreton wave.

description: As the state’s primary means of both redistributing wealth and incentivizing private investment, tax plays an outsized role in a range of critical urban processes, including (re)development, gentrification, financialization, and local and regional governance. We argue, through reference to existing literature in urban and economic geography, as well as our own research on taxation and the state, that urban scholarship could benefit by close and careful engagement with taxation and the tax system. We term this new vein of research “fiscal geographies” and see it as offering potential for more nuanced study of urban political economy, politics, and processes.

water management

description: The Water and Forest Producer Project (PAF) - Rio Claro / RJ is located in the municipality of Rio Claro / RJ, where the head of Piraí River’s is located. It is in-serted in the basin of the Guandu river, a vital source of drinking water for 12 million people in the metro-politan region of Rio de Janeiro. The degradation of the Atlantic Forest has compromised the supply of environmental services, among which the provision of water in quantity and quality stands out. The proj-ect aims to encourage conservation and restoration of the forest through the mechanism of payment for environmental services, to improve the quality and quantity of water for several municipalities in Rio de Janeiro. The project works through voluntary action by rural landowners, who are financially compen-sated for adopting conservation and restoration practices on their properties. Currently, the project is being monitored with 70 rural landowners, ~ 4,562 ha of conservation areas, ~ 564 ha for restoration and R$ 8.5 million in investment in the first five years of operation. The impact scale of the project for now is local. The idea is to expand the project aiming to cover whole Guandu watershed. This case study aims to disseminate the methodology of the PAF Project and strengthen environmental restoration as part of the solution for water resource management in the Guandu basin. Its interest is the environmental recovery of the basin, aiming to improve the quality and quantity of water.

description: The observed rotation curves of disc galaxies, ranging from late-type dwarf galaxies to early-type spirals, can be fit remarkably well simply by scaling up the contributions of the stellar and HI discs. This `baryonic scaling model' can explain the full breadth of observed rotation curves with only two free parameters. For a small fraction of galaxies, in particular early-type spiral galaxies, HI scaling appears to fail in the outer parts, possibly due to observational effects or ionization of the HI. The overall success of the baryonic scaling model suggests that the well-known global coupling between the baryonic mass of a galaxy and its rotation velocity (known as the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation), applies at a more local level as well, and it seems to imply a link between the baryonic mass distribution and the distribution of total mass (including dark matter).

description: A link in the 3-sphere is called (smoothly) slice if its components bound disjoint smoothly embedded disks in the 4-ball. More generally, given a 4-manifold M with a distinguished circle in its boundary, a link in the 3-sphere is called M-slice if its components bound in the 4-ball disjoint embedded copies of M. A 4-manifold M is constructed such that the Borromean rings are not M-slice but the Hopf link is. This contrasts the classical link-slice setting where the Hopf link may be thought of "the most non-slice" link. Further examples and an obstruction for a family of decompositions of the 4-ball are discussed in the context of the A-B slice problem.

description: Studies on mortality from postmenopausal breast cancer (PMBC) by education level have not shown consistent results among US women. For US Asians, often seen as a "model" minority in terms of affluence and education this relationship has never been studied despite PMBC being the most common cancer in the country.
We analyzed 2008-2012 California Vital Statistics data and population data from the American Community Survey 2012 to compute age and education adjusted mortality ratios using negative binomial regression model for White (as a reference category) and Asian women. In total 3,277,106 (80%) White women and 852,376 (20%) Asian women died of breast cancer (ICD-10 code C50) during the study period. Educational attainment was positively associated with mortality from PMBC both in White and Asian women. However, for Whites those who attended college were 11% more likely to die of PMBC [1.1 (C.I- 1.037-1.188)], While Asians were 2.6 times more likely to die from PMBC [2.6 (C.I.-2.3-3.1)]. Asians showed considerable heterogeneity in the effect of education on PMBC mortality with Filipino women [2.8 (C.I. - 2.0- 4.0)] showing higher differential according to education level compared Chinese women [1.9 (C.I. 1.5-2.5)]. At all education levels, Whites had a higher risk of dying due to breast cancer than Asians.
Since survival has been shown to be higher among women with higher education across all races, our mortality findings can only be explained by a true increased risk of PMBC among highly educated women. Lower parity, old age at first birth, higher uptake of hormone replacement therapy and negative acculturation for Asians are possible causes. More studies are necessary to further clarify the etiology of this important cause of death with a focus on education level and socio-economic status.

description: First-year student retention rates for a four-year institution refers to the percentage of First-time Full-time students from the previous fall who return to the same institution for the following fall. First-year retention rates act as an important indicator of the student satisfaction as well as the performance of the university. Moreover, universities with low retention rates may face a decline in the admissions of talented students with a notable loss of tuition fees and contributions from alumni. Therefore, it is important for universities to formulate strategies to identify students who are at risk of not being retained and take necessary measures to retain them. Many universities have tried to develop successful intervention programs to help students increase their performance. However, identifying and prioritizing students who need early interventions still remains to be a very challenging task. The retention rate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) from Fall 2016 to Fall 2017 is 74.4% which indicates the need for specific intervention programs to retain the students who are at risk of dropping out after their first year. In this thesis, we propose the use of predictive modeling methods to identify such at-risk students at an early stage, so that the interventions can be offered in a timely manner. For this, we implemented and compared various classification algorithms of machine learning including Logistic Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest Classifier, and Support Vector Machines in identifying at-risk students using classic machine learning metrics. The models were trained and tested using a set of features extracted from the datasets housed in UNLV's data warehouse that capture student information such as pre-college academics, family background, financial situation and academic performance during their first year at UNLV. The experimental results showed that Logistic Regression and Random Forest classifiers performed better in predicting at risk students at UNLV. Furthermore, students were ranked based on their risk of dropping out, which would enable the educators to focus on concentrating their intervention resources effectively.

description: In this study we investigate the air-side cooling of a flat-plate fin and tube heat transfer condenser with numerical simulations. A new design is proposed which utilises vortex generators to direct the flow in such a way as to remove some of the stagnant heated air that collects in the wake of the pipes. A comparative study of the proposed design and a standard tube and fin condenser is conducted by varying the air side entrance velocities. The Shear Stress Tension, SST $\kappa - \omega$ 2-equation turbulent model is used to solve the RANS model in ANSYS Fluent 18. The results show an improved heat transfer gain with the proposed model at the expense of a greater pressure drop. We explain various analysis of the results concluding that the gains in heat transfer at higher air side face velocities are greater than the expense of power and that the proposed model is predicted to yield a flat-plate fin and pipe condenser that is more compact and energy efficient than the standard design. We predict the improvement of ideal power consumption over typical operating conditions on our portion of the condenser to be between 7\% and 15\%.

The Effect of Titanium Dioxide on Nucleate Pool Boiling Using an Aluminum Substrate
Creators: name: Yim, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Nucleate pool boiling is a mode of pool boiling that tends to transfer heat more efficiently than the other modes of pool boiling. Many studies have been done to augment the heat transferred during nucleate pool boiling. Various methods of heat transfer augmentation in
boiling can be performed through active treatments (mechanical aids, surface/fluid vibrations, etc.) or passive treatments (functional coating, surface roughening, etc.). This study focuses primarily on a passive treatment, specifically TiO2 coating, which involves testing a substrate coated with TiO2 using NeverWetTM base coating as a coupling agent and coated using a method outlined by Wu et al. [7]. The results are evaluated by comparing the overall boiling curve and heat transfer coefficient with other baseline samples for water. Anatase TiO2 was chosen as the material for this study because it is naturally hydrophilic, and interestingly, it can become superhydrophilic after being exposed to ultraviolet light at a wavelength of less than 380 nm. The focus, however, is on its physical properties.
A large factor for heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling is the formation of bubbles, bubble release, and the number of active nucleation sites on the sample. Nucleation sites can only be active for a favorable geometry (the cavity radius must be within a specific range) and
must be within an area of influence where the waiting period of the site is less than the rest of the cavities. The water contact angle of the sample and the tilt angle of the sample also influences the formation and detachment of the bubbles on the sample. Based on this information, this study investigates cylindrical samples coated with TiO2. With a lower contact angle, the cylindrical sample yielded more active nucleation sites which resulted in enhancement of heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling conditions. The TiO2 without the coupling agent yielded an 8% improvement in critical heat flux as opposed to the baseline Al 6061 substrate. This enhancement was backed up using image processing to gather bubble departure frequency and bubble diameter data to use on a current vapor-exchange model  this model and the experimental data was compared in this study. The bubble departure frequency was significantly higher in TiO2 coated substrate than the baseline sample, while the bubble diameters, overall, were lower, thus agreeing with the analytical models of the roles of interfacial tension in bubble formation and departure.

description: Expansion and amplification of weak randomness with untrusted quantum devices has recently become a very fruitful topic of research. Here we contribute with a procedure for amplifying a single weak random source using tri-partite GHZ-type entangled states. If the quality of the source reaches a fixed threshold $R=\frac{1}{4}\log_{2}(10)$, perfect random bits can be produced. This technique can be used to extract randomness from sources that can't be extracted neither classically, nor by existing procedures developed for Santha-Vazirani sources. Our protocol works with a single fault-free device decomposable into three non-communicating parts, that is repeatedly reused throughout the amplification process.

"Need We Mention Our Fashions? "The Educational, Entertaining, and Nostalgic Uses of Godey's Lady's Book Fashion Plates, 1830 To 1940
Creators: name: Bukowski, Maggie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: This thesis focuses on the fashion plates in Godey's Lady's Book and the way the publisher of Godey's, Louis Godey, and the editor, Sarah Hale, engaged with the fashion plates. The format of Godey's combined fashion plates, domestic advice, and literature; it defined the genre of women's magazines for almost half a century. Godey's Lady's Book was established by Louis Godey in 1830. In 1837 he hired Sarah Hale as literary editor. This partnership lasted for forty years until they both retired from the magazine in 1877. Throughout the forty years Louis Godey and Sarah Hale worked together, the fashion plates were continually improved to make them better than the competition. The plates were both instructional and entertaining. While the fashion plates were used by Godey to promote his magazine, Sarah Hale used the plates as teaching tools to disseminate information about how to live a sentimental, domestic life. Although the clothing shown in the plates were long out of fashion, in the 1920s the plates were reprinted and sold in framed versions. In the 1930s, consumer goods decorated with Godey-themed images were very popular. These items, which included framed prints, book ends, lamp shades, playing cards and make-up boxes. In many instances these nineteenth-century images were included in Colonial Revival interiors, collapsing the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries into a usable past that allowed to consumers to day dream about what the past in a detached, enjoyable way.

description: We calculate the heat flux and electron-phonon thermal conductance in a disordered graphene sheet, going beyond a Fermi's Golden rule approach to fully account for the modification of the electron-phonon interaction by disorder. Using the Keldysh technique combined with standard impurity averaging methods in the regime $k_F l >> 1$ (where $k_F$ is the Fermi wavevector, l the mean free path), we consider both scalar potential (i.e. deformation potential) and vector potential couplings between electrons and phonons. We also consider the effects of electronic screening at the Thomas-Fermi level. We find that the temperature dependence of the heat flux and thermal conductance is sensitive to the presence of disorder and screening, and reflects the underlying chiral nature of electrons in graphene and the corresponding modification of their diffusive behaviour. In the case of weak screening, disorder enhances the low-temperature heat flux over the clean system (changing the associated power law from $T^4$ to $T^3$), and the deformation potential dominates. For strong screening, both the deformation potential and vector potential couplings make comparable contributions, and the low-temperature heat flux obeys a $T^5$ power law.

description: We present two concepts of deformable mirror to compensate for first order optical aberrations. Deformation systems are designed using both elasticity theory and Finite Element Analysis in order to minimize the number of actuators. Starting from instrument specifications, we explain the methodology to design dedicated deformable mirrors. The work presented here leads to correcting devices optimized for specific functions. The Variable Off-Axis paraboLA concept is a 3-actuators, 3-modes system able to generate independently Focus, Astigmatism and Coma. The Correcting Optimized Mirror with a Single Actuator is a 1-actuator system able to generate a given combination of optical aberrations.

description: The evolution of magnetic domain structure in epitaxial La$_{0.625}$Ca$_{0.375}$MnO$_3$ films on (001) NdGaO$_3$ is monitored as a function of temperature and magnetic field using Magnetic Force Microscopy. We see two distinct regions of magnetic orientational order; one in-plane displaying contrast-less image and the other tilted away from the film plane forming a distinct stripe pattern. A strong domain splitting is observed at the boundary of two regions, which is resilient to reorientation with temperature and magnetic field. We propose a model magnetic free energy functional to explain the mechanism of domain splitting seen in manganite films.

description: Sorex longirostris Bachman, 1837. J. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 7:370. TYPE LOCALITY: USA, "in the swamps of Santee [River], South Carolina "; restricted to Hume Plantation (Cat Island in the mouth of Santee River) by Jackson (1928:85). DISTRIBUTION: SE USA (except S Florida) west to Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. STATUS: U.S. ESA - Threatened as Sorex longirostris fisheri. SYNONYMS: bachmani, eionis, fisheri, wagneri. COMMENTS: Subgenus Otisorex. As pointed out by Junge and Hoffmann (1981), this species is inappropriately named because it has one of the shortest rostra of North American Sorex. Junge and Hoffmann (1981) also suggested that shrews of the Great Dismal Swamp described as fisheri and traditionally included in longirostris as a subspecies are much larger and may represent a valid species.
