title: The hormonal correlates of stress and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms in female veterans
Creators: name: Pierce, Meghan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: With the increase of female veterans serving in the military, a better understanding of posttraumatic stress disorder is needed to provide comprehensive treatment. This study examines salivary cortisol in female veterans with PTSD, female veterans without PTSD, civilian females with PTSD and healthy controls. The Posttraumatic Stress and Beck Depression Inventory-II were used to assess posttraumatic stress and depressive symptoms. Saliva samples were collected at bedtime and awakening, as well as in response to the Trier Social Stress Test. Significant results were not found for diurnal cortisol levels [ F (3, 11)= .979, p < .05] or stress cortisol levels (F (3,12) = 1.140, p >.05). Insignificant results may be due to low sample size, TSST schedule, and confounding anxiety.
A study of a novel modular variable geometry frame arranged as a robotic surface
Creators: name: Salisbury, Christopher James
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The novel concept of a "variable geometry frame" is introduced and explored through a three-dimensional robotic surface which is devised and implemented using triangular modules. The link design is optimized using surplus motor dimensions as firm constraints, and round numbers for further arbitrary constraints. Each module is connected by a passive six-bar mechanism that mimics the constraints of a spherical joint at each triangle intersection. A three dimensional inkjet printer is used to create a six-module prototype designed around surplus stepper motors powered by an old computer power supply as a proof-of-concept example.
The finite element method is applied to the static and dynamic loading of this device using linear three dimensional (6 degrees of freedom per node) beam elements to calculate the cartesian displacement and force and the angular displacement and torque at each joint. In this way, the traditional methods of finding joint forces and torques are completely bypassed. An efficient algorithm is developed to linearly combine local stiffness matrices into a full structural stiffness matrix for the easy application of loads. This is then decomposed back into the local matrices to easily obtain joint variables used in the design and open-loop control of the surface.
Arbitrary equation driven surfaces are approximated ensuring that they are within the joints limits. Moving shapes are then calculated by considering the initial position of the surface, the desired position of the surface, and intermediate shapes at discrete times along the desired path.
There are no sensors on the prototype, but feedback models and state estimators are developed for future use. These models include shape sampling methods derived from existing meshing algorithms, trajectory planning using sinusoidal acceleration profiles, spline-based path approximation to allow lower curvature paths able to be traversed more quickly and/or able to be travelled with a constant velocity and optimized by iteratively calculating actuator saturation with no discontinuities, and the optimal tracking of a desired path (modeled with a time-varying ricatti equation).

Cultural Impact on Customer Satisfaction and Service Quality Evaluation in Hotels
Creators: name: Seo, Yeji
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description:  Purpose:  The purpose of this paper is to identify how the cultural differences impact customer satisfaction and service quality evaluation in U.S. hotels.
 Statement of Objective:  The objective of this paper is threefold. The first objective is to define customer satisfaction and what customer satisfaction means to people from different cultural backgrounds. The second objective is to evaluate past research on satisfaction and to develop a taxonomy based on the existing literature to introduce how to measure customers'satisfaction effectively in accordance with each culture. The third objective is to recommend what should be done by the hotel professionals in order to increase international guests'satisfaction.
 Justification:  This research has implications for hotel operators due to increases in international traveling. Therefore, it is very imperative to understand different cultures and identify service areas that can be improved upon in order to satisfy guests from around the world. This paper may aid hoteliers in identifying what is the best way to measure cultural attributes, which then will help prepare better services to the international travelers by understanding their culture more deeply. It also has implications for future researchers in the field to investigate how culture impacts customers'satisfaction, using cultures that are not investigated in this study.
There are ramifications of not investigating this field, which are:
1. The hoteliers in the U.S. will not be able to meet the international travelers'expectations of service without understanding their needs first.
2. The potential customer loyalty to the hotel may diminish due to the hotels'inefficient accommodations based on the cultural aspects of satisfaction.

description: We present the results of our systematic search for extended emission components following initial short gamma-ray burst (GRB) spikes, using Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) observations. We performed the extended emission search for both short- and long-duration GRBs to unveil the BATSE population of new hybrid class of GRBs similar to GRB 060614. For the identified bursts, we investigate temporal and spectral characteristics of their initial spikes as well as their extended emission. Our results reveal that the fraction of GRBs with extended emission is ~7% of the total number of our BATSE sample. We find that the spectrum of the extended emission is, in general, softer than that of the initial spike, which is in accord with what has been observed in the prototypical bursts, GRB 060614. We also find that the energy fluence of the extended emission varies on a broad range from 0.1 to 40 times of the fluence of the initial spike. We discuss our results in the context of existing physical models, in particular within the two-component jet model.

Stratigraphic comparison of the Precambrian Wyman and Johnnie Formations in the Western Great Basin, California
Creators: name: Moore, Johnnie Nathan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1973

description: The Precambrian Johnnie Formation in the Death Valley area and to the south is separable into two facies. The southern facies contains six distinct members: the transitional, quartzite, lower carbonate-bearing, siltstone, upper carbonate-bearing, and Rainstorm members. Dolomite, quartzite, and mudstone characterize the southern facies, as does the presence of the Johnnie oolite. To the north the Johnnie oolite pinches out and the amount of mudstone in the formation increases. The dominantly mudstone northern facies contains local gray limestone lenses closely similar to limestone in the Wyman Formation in the White-Inyo Mountains. Generally outcrops of the northern facies of the Johnnie are indistinguishable from those of the correlative Wyman Formation.
A significant unconformity separates the Wyman Formation from the overlying Reed Dolomite and locally the Stirling Quartzite unconformably rests on the Johnnie. This supports a correlation model that omits strata in the White-Inyo Mountains equivalent to the lower Stirling and includes the Johnnie and underlying formations as equivalent to the Wyman.
A shallow sea with local reef-like areas and low-lying temporary islands in the northwestern or western areas was the site of deposition for the Johnnie and Wyman Formations. The sea covered a westward subsiding open basin or a northwestward subsiding trough.

description: The Eleventh International Foamy Virus Conference took place on 9-10 June 2016 at the Institut Pasteur, Paris, France. The meeting reviewed progress on foamy virus (FV) research, as well as related current topics in retrovirology. FVs are complex retroviruses that are widespread in several animal species. Several research topics on these viruses are relevant to human health: cross-species transmission and viral emergence, vectors for gene therapy, development of antiretroviral drugs, retroviral evolution and its influence on the human genome. In this article, we review the conference presentations on these viruses and highlight the major questions to be answered.

We describe how to build a data structure for $\mathcal{D}$ so that for any point set $P$ containing exactly one point from each disk, we can quickly find the onion decomposition (convex layers) of $P$. Our data structure can be built in $O(n \log n)$ time and has linear size. Given $P$, we can find its onion decomposition in $O(n \log k)$ time, where $k$ is the number of layers. We also provide a matching lower bound. Our solution is based on a recursive space decomposition, combined with a fast algorithm to compute the union of two disjoint onion

description: In 4-dimensional supergravity theories, covariant under symplectic electric-magnetic duality rotations, a significant role is played by the symplectic matrix M(ϕ), related to the coupling of scalars ϕ to vector field-strengths. In particular, this matrix enters the twisted self-duality condition for 2-form field strengths in the symplectic formulation of generalized Maxwell equations in the presence of scalar fields. In this investigation, we compute several properties of this matrix in relation to the attractor mechanism of extremal (asymptotically flat) black holes. At the attractor points with no flat directions (as in the N = 2 BPS case), this matrix enjoys a universal form in terms of the dyonic charge vector Q and the invariants of the corresponding symplectic representation RQ of the duality group G, whenever the scalar manifold is a symmetric space with G simple and non-degenerate of type E7. At attractors with flat directions, M still depends on flat directions, but not MQ, defining the so-called Freudenthal dual of Q itself. This allows for a universal expression of the symplectic vector field strengths in terms of Q, in the near-horizon Bertotti-Robinson black hole geometry.

On Quantile Regression in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces with Data Sparsity Constraint
Creators: name: Wu, Yichao

name: Liu, Yufeng
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: For spline regressions, it is well known that the choice of knots is crucial for the performance of the estimator. As a general learning framework covering the smoothing splines, learning in a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) has a similar issue. However, the selection of training data points for kernel functions in the RKHS representation has not been carefully studied in the literature. In this paper we study quantile regression as an example of learning in a RKHS. In this case, the regular squared norm penalty does not perform training data selection. We propose a data sparsity constraint that imposes thresholding on the kernel function coefficients to achieve a sparse kernel function representation. We demonstrate that the proposed data sparsity method can have competitive prediction performance for certain situations, and have comparable performance in other cases compared to that of the traditional squared norm penalty. Therefore, the data sparsity method can serve as a competitive alternative to the squared norm penalty method. Some theoretical properties of our proposed method using the data sparsity constraint are obtained. Both simulated and real data sets are used to demonstrate the usefulness of our data sparsity constraint.

description: People use conjunctions and disjunctions of concepts in ways that violate the rules of classical logic, such as the law of compositionality. Specifically, they overextend conjunctions of concepts, a phenomenon referred to as the Guppy Effect. We build on previous efforts to develop a quantum model that explains the Guppy Effect in terms of interference. Using a well-studied data set with 16 exemplars that exhibit the Guppy Effect, we developed a 17-dimensional complex Hilbert space H that models the data and demonstrates the relationship between overextension and interference. We view the interference effect as, not a logical fallacy on the conjunction, but a signal that out of the two constituent concepts, a new concept has emerged.

description: Biological rhythms are widespread, allowing organisms to temporally organize their behavior and metabolism in advantageous ways. Such proper timing of molecular and cellular events is critical to their development and health. This is best understood in the case of the circadian clock that orchestrates the daily sleep/wake cycle of organisms. Temporal rhythms can also be used for spatial organization, if information from an oscillating system can be recorded within the tissue in a manner that leaves a permanent periodic pattern. One example of this is the "segmentation clock" used by the vertebrate embryo to rhythmically and sequentially subdivide its elongating body axis. The segmentation clock moves with the elongation of the embryo, such that its period sets the segment length as the tissue grows outward. Although the study of this system is still relatively young compared to the circadian clock, outlines of molecular, cellular, and tissue-level regulatory mechanisms of timing have emerged. The question remains, however, is it truly a clock? Here we seek to introduce the segmentation clock to a wider audience of chronobiologists, focusing on the role and control of timing in the system. We compare and contrast the segmentation clock with the circadian clock, and propose that the segmentation clock is actually an oscillatory ruler, with a primary function to measure embryonic space.

description: We numerically study crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) in a topological insulator nanowire T-junction where one lead is proximitized by a superconductor. We perform realistic simulations based on the 3D BHZ model and compare the results with those from an effective 2D surface model, whose computational cost is much lower. Both approaches show that CAR should be clearly observable in a wide parameter range, including perfect CAR in a somewhat more restricted range. Furthermore,it can be controlled by a magnetic field and is robust to disorder. Our effective 2D implementation allows to model systems of micronsize, typical of experimental setups, but computationally too heavy for 3D models.

Vibrational temperature of the adlayer in "hot atom" reaction mechanism

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Hot-atoms reactions mechanisms bring about reaction rates which are several orders of magnitude higher than those expected in the case of ad-atoms which have thermalized with the surface. This paper addresses the issue of a possible thermodynamic characterization of the adlayer under reactive conditions and at the steady state. In turn, this implies to tackle the question of determining the temperature of the ad-atoms. This is done by means of a nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamic approach, by exploiting a suitable definition of the entropy. The interplay between reaction rate, vibrational temperature of the ad-atoms and adsorbed quantities is highlighted. It is shown that the vibrational temperature depends on reaction rate logarithmically and exhibits a non-linear scaling on physical quantities linked to the energetics of the reaction, namely the adsorption energy and the binding energy of the molecule. The present modeling is also discussed in connection with response equations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

description: The widespread and growing practice of modern-day industrial agriculture has generated increasing global concerns about the negative impacts of industrial agriculture on the long-term health of the planet. Alternative forms of agriculture, such as permaculture, may be capable of providing a broad suite of ecosystem services while producing adequate yields, and may be a practical means to facilitate an agroecological transition. Permaculture, which intends to develop self-sufficient and sustainable agroecosystems, merits more investigation by the scientific community into the many claims made in the popular literature regarding its sustainability benefits. This thesis is intended to provide a better understanding of the sustainability strengths and limitations of permaculture in moving current farming systems in a more agroecological direction (an agroecological transition). With that in mind, reported here are the results of a systematic review of the scientific and popular permaculture literature. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative analyses are made to produce an overall evaluation of permaculture, including recommendations for needed future research. The systematic literature review indicates that the amount of scholarly and peer-reviewed scientific research works on permaculture is substantially lacking, especially when compared to the amount in the popular permaculture literature. In addition, the numbers of peer reviewed scientific research regarding permaculture pale in comparison to the well-researched topic of agroecology. Clearly, more scientific investigation and research regarding permaculture is needed. Moreover, data derived from this literature review make a strong case for more interdisciplinary scientific investigation, research, and participatory collaboration with farmer stakeholders regarding the potential of permaculture's principles and practices to contribute to an agroecological transition. These permaculture principles and practices include biodiversity, perennial cropping, and incorporation of local ecosystems in-site design. Themes identified for future research include permaculture's role and contribution to agroecosystem design and configuration, addition of perennial crops in annual cropping systems, and enhancing biodiversity. If increased scholarly research can demonstrate that permaculture practices can contribute to an efficacious agroecological transition, then mainstream agriculture will have the factual, scientific basis to incorporate many permaculture practices.

Provenance and description of landslide masses, Rainbow Gardens, Clark County, Nevada
Creators: name: Parolini, Joseph R.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1981

description: A landslide breccia of plutonic and metamorphic rocks located 20 km east of Las Vegas, Nevada is interstratified with the late Tertiary Thumb Formation. Rock types of similar mineral composition to the landslide masses in the Rainbow Gardens are found 60 km to the east in the Gold Butte (Nevada) area. The landslide masses were displaced into their present position by lateral strike-slip motion along either the left-lateral Lake Mead fault system or the right-lateral Las Vegas shear zone. In the Rainbow Gardens landslide masses, five plutonic rock types, including Rapakivi granite, match rocks from the Gold Butte area, both megasopically and petrographically. Rapakivi granite also crops out in the El Dorado and Newberry Mountains but other rock types in the range do not correlate with the Rainbow Gardens plutonic and metamorphic rocks. Distribution of the rock types in the landslide masses is non-random. This suggest that at the time of sliding the source terrain was nearby, and that the landslide masses moved as distinct toes, each characterized by a distinctive lithologic type. The Rainbow Gardens landslide masses were emplaced at the same as the red Thumb sandstone. This is evidenced by incorporated masses of gneissic clasts in a matrix of Thumb sandstone at the lower contact of the landslide blocks, and the presence of intrusive Thumb sandstone dikes.

description: In the Twitter blogosphere, the number of followers is probably the most basic and succinct quantity for measuring popularity of users. However, the number of followers can be manipulated in various ways; we can even buy follows. Therefore, alternative popularity measures for Twitter users on the basis of, for example, users' tweets and retweets, have been developed. In the present work, we take a purely network approach to this fundamental question. First, we find that two relatively distinct types of users possessing a large number of followers exist, in particular for Japanese, Russian, and Korean users among the seven language groups that we examined. A first type of user follows a small number of other users. A second type of user follows approximately the same number of other users as the number of follows that the user receives. Then, we compare local (i.e., egocentric) followership networks around the two types of users with many followers. We show that the second type, which is presumably uninfluential users despite its large number of followers, is characterized by high link reciprocity, a large number of friends (i.e., those whom a user follows) for the followers, followers' high link reciprocity, large clustering coefficient, large fraction of the second type of users among the followers, and a small PageRank. Our network-based results support that the number of followers used alone is a misleading measure of user's popularity. We propose that the number of friends, which is simple to measure, also helps us to assess the popularity of Twitter users.

description: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a common nasopharyngeal resident in healthy persons, but it remains a major cause of pneumonia, bacteraemia and otitis media despite vaccines and effective antibiotics. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches, but such advances require a detailed knowledge of S. pneumoniae biology. To better understand pneumococcal biology and infections, we need sensitive in vivo imaging technologies. To this end, bioluminescence imaging can be used, for example, to evaluate anti-infectives, intraspecies interactions and pneumococcal virulence non-invasively. Pneumococcal strains containing click beetle luciferase (CBRluc) under the control of putative highly expressed pneumococcal promoters were constructed. The CBRluc constructs were integrated into known sites in the S. pneumoniae genome. The bioluminescent strains were compared to a lux-based system expressing bacterial luciferase using in vitro growth experiments and in vivo mouse model of pneumonia. The results revealed that CBRluc tagged bacteria showed robust activity of bioluminescence in exponential phase that is also maintained during stationary phase, whereas lux-expressing pneumococci emitted a light signal with high background that peaked during exponential phase and was significantly reduced in intensity during stationary phase. The presence of CBRluc did not affect the growth and virulence properties of the bioluminescent pneumococcal strains. In vivo bioluminescence activity obtained with CBRluc labelled bacteria was much higher than the lux containing strain under different promoters. This study also established that CBRluc reporter system can be used to study pneumococcal virulence in G. mellonella model.The findings demonstrate that the CBRluc reporter system is more efficient than lux, providing a potential platform for utilization in understanding of the mechanisms of pneumococcal pathogenesis in vivo.

We investigate the Laplacian spectrum of temporal networks and compare it with that of the corresponding aggregate network. First, we show that the spectrum of the ensemble average of a temporal network has identical eigenmodes but smaller eigenvalues than the aggregate networks. In large networks without edge condensation, the expected temporal dynamics is a time-rescaled version of the aggregate dynamics. Even for single sequential realizations, diffusive dynamics is slower in temporal networks. These discrepancies are due to the noncommutability of interactions. We illustrate our analytical findings using a simple temporal motif, larger network models and real temporal networks.

description: My Master's thesis emerges as a response to scandals that followed the adoption of Artificial Intelligence systems in the domain of justice. We must ensure that only ethical systems are developed and deployed in such high-risk fields, and I propose the adoption of AI auditing frameworks as a possible solution. There is still no specific legislation pertaining to Artificial Intelligence and its ethical development and use, so this was a frontier work mainly based on non-binding international guidelines and the draft AI regulation first proposed by the European Commission last year. In fact, my thesis includes the development of an auditing checklist to ensure the compliance of AI systems with the guidelines for trustworthy AI endorsed by the European Commission. This was part of my internship at ReD Open and in collaboration with MUDI Lab, two entities affiliated to university of Milan Bicocca. The first is an ethical consulting spin-off, and the second an Informatics research lab.

description: In this review, reports were retrieved in which vitamin D status, as assessed by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, was measured in South African population groups with varied skin colours and ethnicities. Healthy children and adults were generally vitamin D-sufficient [25(OH)D level >50 nmol/L] but the majority of those aged above 65 years were deficient. A major role for exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) in determining 25(OH)D levels was apparent, with the dietary contribution being minor. Limited data exist regarding the impact of recent changes in lifestyles on vitamin D status, such as urbanisation. With regard to disease susceptibility, 11 of 22 relevant publications indicated association between low 25(OH)D levels and disease, with deficiency most notably found in individuals with tuberculosis and HIV-1. Information on the relationship between vitamin D receptor variants and ethnicity, disease or treatment response in the South African population groups demonstrated complex interactions between genetics, epigenetics and the environment. Whether vitamin D plays an important role in protection against the range of diseases that currently constitute a large burden on the health services in South Africa requires further investigation. Only then can accurate advice be given about personal sun exposure or dietary vitamin D supplementation.
A Genetic, Transgenic, and Transcriptomic Analysis of Larval Salivary Gland Physiology in Drosophila melanogaster

description: Cholesterol is the precursor to a unique class of lipophilic signaling molecules called steroid hormones that initiate the development of sexual characteristics, reactions to stress, and maintenance of metabolism, among many other functions. Although much progress has been made in understanding the function of these signaling hormones, we do not fully understand how a single steroid can cause many distinct, tissue-specific responses. Drosophila melanogaster is an effective model for understanding steroid hormone action because of its simplicity. The steroid molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (hereafter, 20E) is the primary active steroid in Drosophila and mediates not only larval molts and the emergence of a sexually mature adult, but also is an effector of many other tissue-specific actions from the embryonic to larval stages and into adulthood. An effective approach for studying hormone signaling is to use molecular genetics in which genes (that have roles in 20E-signaling pathways) are overexpressed or silenced in a specific tissue at a defined time during development. Even more, Drosophila is a tractable model organism with many tools that are widely available, and large-scale genetic screens are easily executed. We chose to focus on the salivary gland of larval Drosophila as a primary model for 20E signaling in that several specific, measurable responses to the steroid occur at different times during development. Using this model system, my dissertation research was centered on two major aims: 1) identify genes in the 20E-regulated process of glue secretion in the larval salivary gland; and 2) test the hypothesis that an ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter, E23, participates in a negative feedback loop that acts directly on the hormone 20E.
Using Negative Feedback to Guide Behavior: Impairments on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test Relates to Psychosis

description: There is increasing controversy regarding the distinction between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as separate diagnostic categories because these disorders share many features in common. These and other findings suggest that bipolar disorder and schizophrenia may be better conceptualized along a continuum or within more homogeneous subsets of affective, psychotic, and mixed symptomatology.
Dopamine dysregulation has been found in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, particularly those that experience psychosis during the acute phases of their bipolar illness. Dopamine has been found to play a role in reward and reward learning. Recently, research has found that individuals with schizophrenia experience deficits in reward learning, particularly negative feedback learning.
The current study examined accuracy on the first four cards of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test as well as the use of negative and positive feedback on these initial trials in controls, bipolar with and without psychosis, and schizophrenia. Results indicate that controls and bipolar disorder without psychosis perform significantly better than the schizophrenia group with regard to ability to utilize feedback and learn the task. However, bipolar disorder with psychosis performed neither significantly better nor worse than any other group on the first two cards analyzed, but by card 4 performed at the same level as the control and bipolar without psychosis groups, which was significantly better than the schizophrenia group. Analysis of the use of positive feedback found no difference among the groups in their ability to utilize positive feedback. Use of negative feedback, on the other hand, was significantly different among groups on cards 2 and 4. Post hoc analyses demonstrated that the SZ group performed significantly worse than the controls on both cards 2 and 4 and significantly worse than the bipolar without psychosis on card 2. No other significant differences were found among the groups on use of negative feedback. Results replicate those previously found with regard to individuals with schizophrenia's impaired ability to effectively utilize feedback to learn a task. Contrary to expectations, this deficit was not found in individuals with bipolar disorder with psychosis. Results do not support the idea that those with psychosis experience the most severe deficits in reward learning. The pattern of findings in the bipolar with psychosis group may suggest that, although they are experiencing psychosis, the dopamine dysregulation is less severe thus reward learning is not being affected to the same degree.

description: While many existing formal concept analysis algorithms are efficient, they are typically unsuitable for distributed implementation. Taking the MapReduce (MR) framework as our inspiration we introduce a distributed approach for performing formal concept mining. Our method has its novelty in that we use a light-weight MapReduce runtime called Twister which is better suited to iterative algorithms than recent distributed approaches. First, we describe the theoretical foundations underpinning our distributed formal concept analysis approach. Second, we provide a representative exemplar of how a classic centralized algorithm can be implemented in a distributed fashion using our methodology: we modify Ganter's classic algorithm by introducing a family of MR* algorithms, namely MRGanter and MRGanter+ where the prefix denotes the algorithm's lineage. To evaluate the factors that impact distributed algorithm performance, we compare our MR* algorithms with the state-of-the-art. Experiments conducted on real datasets demonstrate that MRGanter+ is efficient, scalable and an appealing algorithm for distributed problems.
