description: Cell walls define a cell shape in bacteria. They are rigid to resist large internal pressures, but remarkably plastic to adapt to a wide range of external forces and geometric constraints. Currently, it is unknown how bacteria maintain their shape. In this work, we develop experimental and theoretical approaches and show that mechanical stresses regulate bacterial cell-wall growth. By applying a precisely controllable hydrodynamic force to growing rod-shaped Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cells, we demonstrate that the cells can exhibit two fundamentally different modes of deformation. The cells behave like elastic rods when subjected to transient forces, but deform plastically when significant cell wall synthesis occurs while the force is applied. The deformed cells always recover their shape. The experimental results are in quantitative agreement with the predictions of the theory of dislocation-mediated growth. In particular, we find that a single dimensionless parameter, which depends on a combination of independently measured physical properties of the cell, can describe the cell's responses under various experimental conditions. These findings provide insight into how living cells robustly maintain their shape under varying physical environments.

description: The sliding energy landscape of the heterogeneous graphene/h-BN interface is studied by means of the registry index. For a graphene flake sliding on top of h-BN the anisotropy of the sliding energy corrugation with respect to the misfit angle between the two naturally mismatched lattices is found to reduce with the flake size. For sufficiently large flakes the sliding energy corrugation is expected to be at least an order of magnitude lower than that obtained for matching lattices regardless of the relative interlayer orientation thus resulting in a stable low-friction state. This is in contrast to the case of the homogeneous graphene interface where flake reorientations are known to eliminate superlubricty. Our results mark heterogeneous layered interfaces as promising candidates for dry lubrication purposes.

Object Language/On Defining Sculpture

Year: 2017

description: Object Language
In the current era we in the Western, developed world, have almost universal free and uninhibited access to almost every piece of information in existence. Increasingly, regardless of the source, material presented to us as fact has become increasingly suspect. Together, these two things mean this endless stream of data is useless. The question is how to combat this decline, how to reverse the process of a meaningless, constant data-dump. The answer lies in the language used to communicate information. Language is the means by which we communicate complex ideas and knowledge from person to person. Language is something ubiquitous in our society, we see it, we hear it, it is so constant we do not even consider it as a part of the concepts it is used to convey. Altering language is one of the subtlest ways that information can still be obfuscated.
Sculpture has the capability to reframe its own context. This is the great privilege evidenced numerous times by such works as Duchamp's Fountain and enumerated by prominent art historians. Transforming something into sculpture implies that the purpose of the work is, at least in part, to reframe the subject matter of the piece. Translating language into sculpture is an effort to reframe this system. The process takes that which is recognizable and readily consumable and obfuscates it, putting barriers between us, the reader, and the idea expressed. That which is freely given is valueless, easily discarded, and ignored. By transforming the content into sculpture the idea is elevated, made enigmatic, even esoteric. The ideas in the context of this show are not freely given. They have been rendered inaccessible and there must be effort expended to understand the message. These ideas must be earned. This makes them more valuable and much harder to ignore or discard.
Information is the most powerful tool we have, its possession saves us from the mistakes of the past, it is what guides us through our present, and it is what ensures our future. When information becomes valueless it is altogether too easy for it to be taken away; we lose the most important tool we have in self determination.

description: We carried out a first principles investigation on the microscopic properties of nickel-related defect centers in diamond. Several configurations, involving substitutional and interstitial nickel impurities, have been considered either in isolated configurations or forming complexes with other defects, such as vacancies and boron and nitrogen dopants. The results, in terms of spin, symmetry, and hyperfine fields, were compared with the available experimental data on electrically active centers in synthetic diamond. Several microscopic models, previously proposed to explain those data, have been confirmed by this investigation, while some models could be discarded. We also provided new insights on the microscopic structure of several of those centers.

Cyclist Detection, Tracking, and Trajectory Analysis in Urban Traffic Video Data

Year: 2017

description: The major objective of this thesis work is examining computer vision and machine learning detection methods, tracking algorithms and trajectory analysis for cyclists in traffic video data and developing an efficient system for cyclist counting. Due to the growing number of cyclist accidents on urban roads, methods for collecting information on cyclists are of significant importance to the Department of Transportation. The collected information provides insights into solving critical problems related to transportation planning, implementing safety countermeasures, and managing traffic flow efficiently. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) employs automated tools to collect traffic information from traffic video data. In comparison to other road users, such as cars and pedestrians, the automated cyclist data collection is relatively a new research area. In this work, a vision-based method for gathering cyclist count data at intersections and road segments is developed. First, we develop methodology for an efficient detection and tracking of cyclists. The combination of classification features along with motion based properties are evaluated to detect cyclists in the test video data. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based detector called You Only Look Once (YOLO) is implemented to increase the detection accuracy. In the next step, the detection results are fed into a tracker which is implemented based on the Kernelized Correlation Filters (KCF) which in cooperation with the bipartite graph matching algorithm allows to track multiple cyclists, concurrently. Then, a trajectory rebuilding method and a trajectory comparison model are applied to refine the accuracy of tracking and counting. The trajectory comparison is performed based on semantic similarity approach. The proposed counting method is the first cyclist counting method that has the ability to count cyclists under different movement patterns. The trajectory data obtained can be further utilized for cyclist behavioral modeling and safety analysis.

description: Quasi-periodic propagating disturbances in coronal structures have been interpreted as slow magneto-acoustic waves and/or periodic upflows. Here we aim to understand their nature from the observed properties using a three-hour imaging sequence from AIA/SDO in two different temperature channels. We also compare the characteristics with a simple wave model. We searched for propagating disturbances in open-loop structures at three different locations; a fan loop-structure off-limb, an on-disk plume-like structure and the plume/interplume regions in the north pole of the sun. In each of the subfield regions chosen to cover these structures, the time series at each pixel location was subjected to wavelet analysis to find the different periodicities. We then constructed powermaps in three different period ranges. We also constructed space-time maps for the on-disk plume structure to estimate the propagation speeds in different channels. We find propagating disturbances in all three structures. Powermaps indicate that the power in the long-period range is significant up to comparatively longer distances along the loop than that in the shorter periods. This nature is observed in all three structures. A detailed analysis on the on-disk plume structure gives consistently higher propagation speeds in the 193 Åchannel and also reveals spatial damping along the loop. The amplitude and the damping length values are lower in hotter channels, indicating their acoustic dependence. These properties can be explained very well with a propagating slow-wave model. We suggest that these disturbances are more likely to be caused by propagating slow magneto-acoustic waves than by high-speed quasi-periodic upflows. We find that intensity oscillations in longer periods are omnipresent at larger heights even in active regions.

description: Substantial research in symptom perception demonstrates symptoms are influenced by a wide range of psychological factors. However, there is limited understanding of the broader milieu of bodily states within which symptoms exist, including emotions, sensations and “pre-symptoms”. Furthermore, little is known about how bodily states are experienced and translated into symptoms. Semi-structured interviews with 12 participants explored how individuals experience, describe and understand their bodily states in addition to how bodily states are translated into symptoms and how this transition was experienced. Thematic Analysis described four main themes in relation to; i) “The qualia of bodily states”, individuals’ description and understanding of how bodily states “feel”; ii) “Attending to bodily states”, how attention to bodily states could differ between individuals and in certain contexts; iii) “Becoming symptoms”, understanding of normality and its deviations and finding meaning could play a role in transition of states to symptoms; iv)“Reifying symptoms”, how individuals communicated, verbally and non-verbally, abstract lived experience of bodily states to the self and others. A transcending theme, “A series of thresholds” encompassed how bodily states surpass a threshold to become a symptom and the involvement of individual differences such as attention, emotions, expectations and finding meaning. Symptoms may arise when a bodily state surpasses a series of thresholds which may be lowered or raised. There is a critical need to consolidate understanding of bodily states and symptoms within a research context and for greater appreciation of the nuanced, complex and varied nature of bodily states beyond “symptoms”.

Impact of Ingredient Branding on the Hotel Brand: Spillover Effect of Branded Amenities
Creators: name: Kim, Eun Joo
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Ingredient branding is a popular marketing strategy, in which a brand uses a different branded product as a component in the main one. Utilizing ingredient branding, a host brand can benefit from the positive evaluation of a component brand that customers are already aware of. Although the hotel industry has applied a substantial number of other brands as internal factors, there has been little awareness or research on ingredient branding. The main purpose of the study was to investigate 1) whether ingredient branding has a positive impact on a hotel brand equity and 2) whether the effect varies for different types of hotels. The study was based on 472 samples collected from an online survey. The study examined the impact of branded amenities on hotel brand equity based on six dimensions: perceived quality, brand image, loyalty, satisfaction, behavior intentions, and perceived value. The study also demonstrated that the spillover effect varies by types of hotels and willingness to pay extra charges induced by branded amenities. The results indicate that branded amenities had significant impacts on all six dimensions of hotel brand equity, and the effects were diverse for different hotel classes. A midscale hotel benefited the most by ingredient branding while an economy hotel had lower effects compared to a midscale hotel despite overall positive impacts. On the contrary, a luxury hotel barely had an advantage of branded amenities, although there were statistical significances on three factors of brand equity (i.e., perceived intention, loyalty, perceived quality). The study provides managerial implications for each type of hotel.

Emerging Infectious Disease and the Imperiled Relict Leopard Frog
Creators: name: Waddle, Anthony Wayne
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: The disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the aquatic fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has emerged as a major contributing factor for worldwide amphibian declines. Although relatively recently described, the impacts from the disease this pathogen causes have been definitively tied to amphibian declines, including some that occurred decades ago. In some cases, declines of individual species occurred with little documentation and are thus poorly understood. The relict leopard frog (Rana onca = Lithobates onca) has experienced such a decline and by the latter part of the 20th century only occurred in two general areas in southern Nevada. Recent research has found Bd within the historical range of the species and that the species shows evidence of potential resistance to chytridiomycosis. Those authors, however, noted that the Bd strains used were not from the local environment and they speculated on possible attenuation. I addressed these concerns by challenging an anuran species known to be susceptible to chytridiomycosis to one of the previously used Bd isolates (SLL) that showed hypovirulence towards R. onca. I also performed a disease transmission experiment intended to increase virulence in SLL towards R. onca in an attempt to elucidate the possibility of attenuation. In other experiments, I isolated Bd from anurans in the local environment, and then used these isolates to challenge juvenile R. onca, as well as an earlier life-stage thought to be more vulnerable to chytridiomycosis. My results indicate that the SLL isolate is still virulent toward a susceptible host species, but R. onca continued to appear resistant toward this particular isolate. My challenge experiments using local isolates of Bd, however, showed that R. onca is susceptible to chytridiomycosis from two Bd isolates found in southern Nevada, as well as an isolate I acquired from a commercial vender. I found that frogs from a currently Bd infected area cleared infections and survived in much higher proportions than those from a Bd-free area. This population-level effect, however, was dependent on life-stage and recently metamorphosed frogs from both areas showed low survivorship when challenged with Bd.

description: The multilevel Monte Carlo path simulation method introduced by Giles ({\it Operations Research}, 56(3):607-617, 2008) exploits strong convergence properties to improve the computational complexity by combining simulations with different levels of resolution. In this paper we analyse its efficiency when using the Milstein discretisation; this has an improved order of strong convergence compared to the standard Euler-Maruyama method, and it is proved that this leads to an improved order of convergence of the variance of the multilevel estimator. Numerical results are also given for basket options to illustrate the relevance of the analysis.

Walt Disney and the Propaganda Complex: Government Funded Animation and Hollywood Complicity During WWII
Creators: name: Cunningham, Amanda Michelle
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: The focus of this proposed thesis will be on the animated propaganda films the studios of Walt Disney produced for the government during World War II, analyzing three of the most widely viewed animated features: The New Spirit (1942), Der Fuehrer's Face (1943), and Education for Death: The Making of the Nazi (1943). These government-financed films were used to encourage Americans to pay their taxes; they generally depicted Germany as a threatening enemy and encouraged support for America's effort and involvement in the war. Using a semiotics theoretical approach, the thesis will analyze these films as propaganda to demonstrate how they were created to influence audiences. The conclusions of the study will assess their effectiveness.

description: The observed gas-phase molecular inventory of hot cores is believed to be significantly impacted by the products of chemistry in interstellar ices. In this study, we report the construction of a full macroscopic Monte Carlo model of both the gas-phase chemistry and the chemistry occurring in the icy mantles of interstellar grains. Our model treats icy grain mantles in a layer-by-layer manner, which incorporates laboratory data on ice desorption correctly. The ice treatment includes a distinction between a reactive ice surface and an inert bulk. The treatment also distinguishes between zeroth and first order desorption, and includes the entrapment of volatile species in more refractory ice mantles. We apply the model to the investigation of the chemistry in hot cores, in which a thick ice mantle built up during the previous cold phase of protostellar evolution undergoes surface reactions and is eventually evaporated. For the first time, the impact of a detailed multilayer approach to grain mantle formation on the warm-up chemistry is explored. The use of a multilayer ice structure has a mixed impact on the abundances of organic species formed during the warm-up phase. For example, the abundance of gaseous HCOOCH3 is lower in the multilayer model than in previous grain models that do not distinguish between layers (so-called "two phase" models). Other gaseous organic species formed in the warm-up phase are affected slightly. Finally, we find that the entrapment of volatile species in water ice can explain the two-jump behavior of H2CO previously found in observations of protostars.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη της συγκέντρωσης βαρέων μετάλλων στην οικιακή σκόνη της περιοχής της Θεσσαλονίκης και η εκτίμηση της επικινδυνότητάς τους για την ανθρώπινη υγεία. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά τα βαρέα μέταλλα που ανιχνεύθηκαν στην οικιακή σκόνη μέσω των μεθόδων της περιθλασιμετρίας ακτίνων – X (XRD), της ηλεκτρονικής μικροσκοπίας σάρωσης (SEM) και της φασματοσκοπίας ακτίνων – X φθορισμού (pXRF). Ακόμη αναφερθήκαμε αναλυτικά στα ανθρωπογενούς προελεύσεως βαρέα μέταλλα της οικιακής σκόνης που θεωρούνται τα πιο επιβλαβή για την ανθρώπινη υγεία μέσω των δεικτών EF (συντελεστής εμπλουτισμού) και Igeo (δείκτης ρύπανσης). Ένα άλλο θέμα που θίξαμε ήταν η εκτίμηση μέσω των δεικτών επικινδυνότητας HI και καρκινογένεσης CR. Ασχοληθήκαμε επιπλέον με τα μέτρα πρόληψης που συστήνει η παγκόσμια βιβλιογραφία για την αποφυγή της υψηλής συγκέντρωσης βαρέων μετάλλων στην οικιακή σκόνη.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to study the concentration of heavy metals in household dust in the Thessaloniki area and to assess their potential risks to human health. We then provided a detailed presentation of the heavy metals detected in household dust using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (pXRF). Additionally, we thoroughly examined the anthropogenic heavy metals in household dust that are considered the most harmful to human health through the enrichment factor (EF) and the geoaccumulation index (Igeo). Another issue we addressed was the risk assessment using the hazard index (HI) and carcinogenic risk (CR) indicators. Furthermore, we explored the preventive measures recommended by global literature to mitigate high concentrations of heavy metals in household dust.

Unfinished Business in Bereavement: A Mixed Methods Study
Creators: name: Klingspon, Kara Lee
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Unfinished business(incomplete, unexpressed or unresolved relationship issues with the deceased) is frequently discussed as a risk factor for chronic and severe grief reactions. However, few empirical studies have examined this construct. The present study aimed to address this gap in the literature by examining the presence and severity of unfinished business as well as common themes of unfinished business reported in open-ended qualitative narratives among a sample of 256 bereaved individuals. In bivariate analyses, self-reported presence of unfinished business and the severity of distress due to unfinished business were both found to be associated with higher levels of distress and poorer outcomes. However, after controlling for potential confounds, distress related to unfinished business emerged as a more robust correlate of bereavement outcomes. Qualitative responses were categorized and the type of reported unfinished business was not significantly related to the degree of unfinished business distress or other bereavement outcomes. Implications of these findings for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

description: We prove two results on the delocalization of the endpoint of a uniform self-avoiding walk on Z^d for d>1. We show that the probability that a walk of length n ends at a point x tends to 0 as n tends to infinity, uniformly in x. Also, for any fixed x in Z^d, this probability decreases faster than n^{-1/4 + epsilon} for any epsilon >0. When |x|= 1, we thus obtain a bound on the probability that self-avoiding walk is a polygon.

description: Nielsen, et al. [1, 2] proposed a view of quantum computation where determining optimal algorithms is equivalent to extremizing a geodesic length or cost functional. This view of optimization is highly suggestive of an action principle of the space of N-qubits interacting via local operations. The cost or action functional is given by the cost of evolution operators on local qubit operations leading to causal dynamics, as in Blute et. al. [3] Here we propose a view of information geometry for quantum algorithms where the inherent causal structure determines topology and information distances [4, 5] set the local geometry. This naturally leads to geometric characterization of hypersurfaces in a quantum cellular automaton. While in standard quantum circuit representations the connections between individual qubits, i.e. the topology, for hypersurfaces will be dynamic, quantum cellular automata have readily identifiable static hypersurface topologies determined via the quantum update rules. We demonstrate construction of quantum cellular automata geometry and discuss the utility of this approach for tracking entanglement and algorithm optimization.

Towards testing a two-Higgs-doublet model with maximal CP symmetry at the LHC: construction of a Monte Carlo event generator

description: A Monte Carlo event generator is constructed for a two-Higgs-doublet model with maximal CP symmetry, the MCPM. The model contains five physical Higgs bosons; the $ρ'$, behaving similarly to the standard-model Higgs boson, two extra neutral bosons $h'$ and $h"$, and a charged pair $H^\pm$. The special feature of the MCPM is that, concerning the Yukawa couplings, the bosons $h'$, $h"$ and $H^\pm$ couple directly only to the second generation fermions but with strengths given by the third-generation-fermion masses. Our event generator allows the simulation of the Drell-Yan-type production processes of $h'$, $h"$ and $H^\pm$ in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies. Also the subsequent leptonic decays of these bosons into the $μ^+ μ^-$, $μ^+ ν_μ$ and $μ^- \bar ν_μ$ channels are studied as well as the dominant background processes. We estimate the integrated luminosities needed in $p p$ collisions at center-of-mass energies of 8 TeV and 14 TeV for significant observations of the Higgs bosons $h'$, $h"$ and $H^\pm$ in these muonic channels.
Diabatic quantum gates

description: At present, several models for quantum computation have been proposed. Adiabatic quantum computation scheme particularly offers this possibility and is based on a slow enough time evolution of the system, where no transitions take place. In this work, a new strategy for quantum computation is provided from the opposite point of view. The objective is to control the non-adiabatic transitions between some states in order to produce the desired exit states after the evolution. The model is introduced by means of an analogy between the adiabatic quantum computation and an inelastic atomic collision. By means of a simple two-state model, several quantum gates are reproduced, concluding the possibility of diabatic universal fault-tolerant quantum computation. Going a step further, a new quantum diabatic computation model is glimpsed, where a carefully chosen Hamiltonian could carry out a non-adiabatic transition between the initial and the sought final state.
