description: We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of an electronic model of competition between an unconventional charge density wave (a bond density wave) and $d$-wave superconductivity. In a time-dependent Hartree-Fock+BCS approximation, the dynamics reduces to the equations of motion of operators realizing the generators of SU(4) at each pair of momenta, ( $\boldsymbol{k}$, - $\boldsymbol{k}$ ), in the Brillouin zone. We also study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a quantum generalization of a O(6) nonlinear $σ$ model of competing orders in the underdoped cuprates [Hayward et al., Science $\boldsymbol{343}$, 1336 (2014)]. We obtain results, in the large $N$ limit of a O($N$) model, on the time dependence of correlation functions following a pulse disturbance. We compare our numerical studies with recent picosecond optical experiments. We find that, generically, the oscillatory responses in our models share various qualitative features with the experiments.

description: The logarithmic law for the mean velocity in turbulent boundary layers has long provided a valuable and robust reference for comparison with theories, models, and large-eddy simulations (LES) of wall-bounded turbulence. More recently, analysis of high-Reynolds number experimental boundary layer data has shown that also the variance and higher-order moments of the streamwise velocity fluctuations $u'^{+}$ display logarithmic laws. Such experimental observations motivate the question whether LES can accurately reproduce the variance and the higher-order moments, in particular their logarithmic dependency on distance to the wall. In this study we perform LES of very high Reynolds number wall-modeled channel flow and focus on profiles of variance and higher-order moments of the streamwise velocity fluctuations. In agreement with the experimental data, we observe an approximately logarithmic law for the variance in the LES, with a `Townsend-Perry' constant of $A_1\approx 1.25$. The LES also yields approximate logarithmic laws for the higher-order moments of the streamwise velocity. Good agreement is found between $A_p$, the generalized `Townsend-Perry' constants for moments of order $2p$, from experiments and simulations. Both are indicative of sub-Gaussian behavior of the streamwise velocity fluctuations. The near-wall behavior of the variance, the ranges of validity of the logarithmic law and in particular possible dependencies on characteristic length scales such as the roughness scale $z_0$, the LES grid scale $Δ$, and sub-grid scale (SGS) mixing length $C_sΔ$ are examined. We also present LES results on moments of spanwise and wall-normal fluctuations of velocity.

Race to the Middle: The Homogenization of Population Density and What It's Costing New Jersey
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Future
Year: 2004

description: Over the past 50 years, New Jersey has moved away from both the compact urban and open rural densities which laid the foundation for today's high quality of life and made the state unique. Instead, New Jersey has engaged in a 'race for the middle' of the density scale. The spread-out developments proliferating today across the state's midsection are wasteful of land, money, and time, andare generating costs that will make demands on New Jersey's taxpayers for decades to come. This report discusses the causes of the problem, and the issues that will arise if this phenomenon continues into the future.
Partial Fermionization---Spectral Universality in 1D Repulsive Bose Gases

Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: Due to the vast growth of the many-body level density with excitation energy, its smoothed form is of central relevance for spectral and thermodynamic properties of interacting quantum systems. We compute the cumulative of this level density for confined one-dimensional continuous systems with repulsive short-range interactions. We show that the crossover from an ideal Bose gas to the strongly correlated, fermionized gas, i.e., partial fermionization, exhibits universal behavior: Systems with very few up to many particles share the same underlying spectral features. In our derivation we supplement quantum cluster expansions with short-time dynamical information. Our nonperturbative analytical results are in excellent agreement with numerics for systems of experimental relevance in cold atom physics, such as interacting bosons on a ring (Lieb-Liniger model) or subject to harmonic confinement. Our method provides predictions for excitation spectra that enable access to finite-temperature thermodynamics in large parameter ranges.
Rotational properties of nuclei around $^{254}$No investigated using a spectroscopic-quality Skyrme energy density functional

description: Nuclei in the $Z\approx100$ mass region represent the heaviest systems where detailed spectroscopic information is experimentally available. Although microscopic-macroscopic and self-consistent models have achieved great success in describing the data in this mass region, a fully satisfying precise theoretical description is still missing. By using fine-tuned parametrizations of the energy density functionals, the present work aims at an improved description of the single-particle properties and rotational bands in the nobelium region. Such locally optimized parameterizations may have better properties when extrapolating towards the superheavy region. Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov and Lipkin-Nogami methods were used to calculate the quasiparticle energies and rotational bands of nuclei in the nobelium region. Starting from the most recent Skyrme parametrization, UNEDF1, the spin-orbit coupling constants and pairing strengths have been tuned, so as to achieve a better agreement with the excitation spectra and odd-even mass differences in $^{251}$Cf and $^{249}$Bk. The quasiparticle properties of $^{251}$Cf and $^{249}$Bk were very well reproduced. At the same time, crucial deformed neutron and proton shell gaps open up at $N=152$ and $Z=100$, respectively. Rotational bands in Fm, No, and Rf isotopes, where experimental data are available, were also fairly well described. To help future improvements towards a more precise description, small deficiencies of the approach were carefully identified. In the $Z\approx100$ mass region, larger spin-orbit strengths than those from global adjustments lead to improved agreement with data. Puzzling effects of particle-number restoration on the calculated moment of inertia, at odds with the experimental behaviour, require further scrutiny.

description: Trout stocking's popularity among anglers makes it one of New Jersey Fish and Wildlife's best-known fishing programs. Yet, anglers and other sportsmen might be interested in learning more about trout management and a host of other work related to our state's coldwater fisheries and what's planned for the future. The Coldwater Fisheries Management Plan offers a wealth of information about trout in New Jersey and the activities devoted to managing the state's trout resources. The draft plan presents detailed information on a wide range of topics including self-sustaining trout populations, habitat protection and enhancement, fish culture and utilization of cultured trout, angler preferences and fishing regulations, fish health, angler access, public outreach, and program funding and staffing. The fisheries management plan seeks to identify issues and concerns affecting the future of New Jersey's coldwater resources and recreational trout fishing, and to develop strategies to meet specific goals during the next five years, 10 years and beyond.

description: Numerical studies of primordial star formation suggest that the first stars in the universe may have been very massive. Stellar models indicate that non-rotating Population III stars with initial masses of 140-260 Msun die as highly energetic pair-instability supernovae. We present new two-dimensional simulations of primordial pair-instability supernovae done with the CASTRO code. Our simulations begin at earlier times than previous multidimensional models, at the onset of core collapse, to capture any dynamical instabilities that may be seeded by collapse and explosive burning. Such instabilities could enhance explosive yields by mixing hot ash with fuel, thereby accelerating nuclear burning, and affect the spectra of the supernova by dredging up heavy elements from greater depths in the star at early times. Our grid of models includes both blue supergiants and red supergiants over the range in progenitor mass expected for these events. We find that fluid instabilities driven by oxygen and helium burning arise at the upper and lower boundaries of the oxygen shell $\sim$ 20 - 100 seconds after core bounce. Instabilities driven by burning freeze out after the SN shock exits the helium core. As the shock later propagates through the hydrogen envelope, a strong reverse shock forms that drives the growth of Rayleigh--Taylor instabilities. In red supergiant progenitors, the amplitudes of these instabilities are sufficient to mix the supernova ejecta.

title: Global Transcriptional Profile of the Tubby Mouse Retina
Creators: name: Van, Richard
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2022

description: A genetic mutation of the Tub gene encodes a nonfunctional Tubby protein that can lead to retinal degeneration, hearing loss, and late-onset obesity in the mouse. The Tubby protein is a member of tubby-like proteins, found in many organisms. Of importance to humans is a mutation on the Tulp1 gene that has been linked to retinal degeneration. The mechanisms leading to the development of these disease phenotypes are still not clear. Tubby is a predicted transcription factor that can possibly regulate other disease-associated genes. However, expression data on genes regulated by Tubby have thus far been scarce. To bridge this gap, the current study determined the genes regulated by Tubby to gain a better understanding of how a single loss-of-function mutation led to the tubby disease phenotypes, particularly retinal degeneration. RNA sequencing was performed on retinas from 3-month old tubby and wild-type mice followed by data analysis using standard bioinformatics tools. Expression levels of select target genes were experimentally validated with RT-qPCR. We observed 2,899 significant differentially expressed genes in the tubby mouse retina. 339 genes were downregulated while 783 genes were upregulated. Amongst the most upregulated genes are those involved in the pro-inflammatory response, while notable downregulated genes are those that function in phototransduction pathways and retinal development, thus highlighting the role of the Tubby protein in the retina. These findings suggest that genes involved in maintenance of retinal health and vision are regulated by and might be direct transcriptional targets of the Tubby protein.

description: PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are chemicals (now banned, but still in the environment) that build up in fish and the humans who eat them over time.  PCBs cause cancer in animals and are likely to cause cancer in humans if consumed regularly.  Some types of fish caught in New Jersey waters by individuals engaged in recreational fishing contain high levels of PCBs and should not be eaten, or should only be eaten minimally.  This guide contains tables indicating bodies of water, the types of fish found in each body of water affected by PCBs and the rates at which they should be eaten for the general population as well as high-risk individuals.  The guide also discusses methods of fish preparation and cooking which substantially reduce the amounts of PCBs in fish.

description: We measure weak quasiparticle tunneling across a constriction in the second Landau level. At $ν$ = 7/3, 8/3 and 5/2, comparison of temperature and DC bias dependence to weak tunneling theory allows extracting parameters that describe the edges' quasiparticle excitations. At $ν$ = 8/3, our results are well described by a particle-hole conjugate Laughlin state, but not compatible with proposed non-Abelian quasiparticle excitations. For $ν$ = 5/2, our measurements are in good agreement with previous experiments and favor the Abelian (3,3,1) or (1,1,3)-states. At these filling factors, we further investigate the influence of the backscattering strength on the extracted scaling parameters. For $ν$ = 7/3, the backscattering strength strongly affects the scaling parameters, whereas quasiparticle tunneling at $ν$ = 8/3 and 5/2 appears more robust. Our results provide important additional insight about the physics in the second Landau level and contribute to the understanding of the physics underlying the fractional quantum Hall states at $ν$ = 7/3, 8/3 and 5/2.

description: Background Type 2 diabetes is a major public health issue and food insecurity can affect diabetes management. Food insecurity can contribute to disrupted dietary eating patterns and decreased consumptions of a variety of foods. The aim of this observational study was to determine the difference in dietary intake between food insecure and food secure individuals with type 2 diabetes, as well as by glycemic control. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 55 participants were recruited from an academic endocrinology clinic. Participants completed a 7-day food diary, a household food security questionnaire, and assessment of blood biomarkers (HbA1c). To determine the differences in dietary intake between food secure and food insecure participants, an independent sample t-test was performed on the food intake data. An independent sample t-test was performed on the dietary intakes between participants with poor (HbA1c >7) vs. optimal (HbA1c

description: We study the global probability distribution of energy consumption per capita around the world using data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for 1980-2010. We find that the Lorenz curves have moved up during this time period, and the Gini coefficient G has decreased from 0.66 in 1980 to 0.55 in 2010, indicating a decrease in inequality. The global probability distribution of energy consumption per capita in 2010 is close to the exponential distribution with G=0.5. We attribute this result to the globalization of the world economy, which mixes the world and brings it closer to the state of maximal entropy. We argue that global energy production is a limited resource that is partitioned among the world population. The most probable partition is the one that maximizes entropy, thus resulting in the exponential distribution function. A consequence of the latter is the law of 1/3: the top 1/3 of the world population consumes 2/3 of produced energy. We also find similar results for the global probability distribution of CO2 emissions per capita.

description: Lab::Measurement is a framework for test and measurement automatization using Perl 5. While primarily developed with applications in mesoscopic physics in mind, it is widely adaptable. Internally, a layer model is implemented. Communication protocols such as IEEE 488, USB Test & Measurement, or, e.g., VXI-11 are addressed by the connection layer. The wide range of supported connection backends enables unique cross-platform portability. At the instrument layer, objects correspond to equipment connected to the measurement PC (e.g., voltage sources, magnet power supplies, multimeters, etc.). The high-level sweep layer automates the creation of measurement loops, with simultaneous plotting and data logging. An extensive unit testing framework is used to verify functionality even without connected equipment. Lab::Measurement is distributed as free and open source software.
title: What Happens in Vegas: The Influence of Las Vegas on High-Risk Attitudes and Behaviors
Creators: name: Tiemann, Marissa
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2022

description: The probability of victimization is affected by various factors, such as child abuse, a history of victimization, sexual assault, substance abuse, and risky behaviors. Previous research has attributed differences in victimization risk to differences in lifestyle. Overtly sexual cultures like Las Vegas, Nevada, could impact the adoption of risky behaviors (e.g., binge drinking, casual sex, and substance abuse) that could increase victimization risks. This study seeks to understand the impact of the city of Las Vegas on adopting high risk sexual attitudes and behaviors by examining the length of time an individual has spent in Las Vegas. This study used hierarchical multiple regression to predict changes in attitudes and behaviors above and beyond the control variables. The sample of this study consisted of 774 undergraduate students at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Long-term exposure to Las Vegas did not affect victimization rates. This study found that demographic factors such as age, gender, and race were more strongly related to the adoption and normalization of attitudes and behaviors than the age an individual arrived in the city.

description: Topological superfluids usually refer to a superfluid state which is gapped in the bulk but metallic at the boundary. Here we report that a gapless, topologically non-trivial superfluid with inhomogeneous Fulde-Ferrell pairing order parameter can emerge in a two-dimensional spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas, in the presence of both in-plane and out-of-plane Zeeman fields. The Fulde-Ferrell pairing - induced by the spin-orbit coupling and in-plane Zeeman field - is responsible for this gapless feature. This exotic superfluid has a significant Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition temperature and has robust Majorana edge modes against disorder owing to its topological nature.

Our calculation includes next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections in perturbative QCD, as well as the resummation of threshold-enhanced contributions to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (N$^3$LL) accuracy, with the inclusion of the recently-determined three-loop constant coefficient (sometimes referred to as N$^3$LL' accuracy). Our result correctly accounts for finite top, bottom and charm masses at leading order (LO) and next-to-leading order (NLO), and includes top mass dependence at NNLO. At the resummed level the dependence on top, bottom and charm mass is accounted for at NLL, while only the top mass at NNLL. The all-order calculation is improved by a suitable choice of the soft terms, dictated by analyticity conditions and by the inclusion of subleading corrections of collinear origin, which improve the accuracy of the resummation away from the threshold region. We present results for different collider energies and we study perturbative uncertainties by varying renormalization and factorization scales. We find that, at current LHC energies, the resummation corrects the NNLO result by as much as 20 % at $μ_R=μ_F=m_H$, while the correction is much smaller, 5.5 %, at $μ_R=μ_F=m_H /\,2$. While the central value of NNLO+N$^3$LL result depends very mildly on the scale choice, we argue that a more reliable estimate of the theoretical uncertainty is found if the perturbative scales are canonically varied about $m_H$.

title: Parental Education on Human Papillomavirus Vaccination

description: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a worldwide condition that produces several diseases, including cervical, anogenital, and oral cancer, among others (Fishman et al., 2014). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; 2016a) stated that HPV is among the most reported sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. Over 150 viruses are associated with HPV, and 40 types of the virus can be spread via sexual contact, including vaginal, oral, and anal sex (CDC, 2016; CDC, 2016b; CDC, 2016c). Evidence shows that approximately 79 million individuals are infected in the United States, and 14 million Americans are infected with the virus each year (CDC, 2016c). While the HPV vaccine has been proven to reduce an individual’s risk of contracting the virus, the number of vaccines administered in the United States has remained considerably lower than the goal percentage for vaccination of those eligible (Printz, 2015). This evidence-based practice change project aimed to design and offer an evidence-based educational program to encourage caregivers of children ages 9–17 to approve of the HPV vaccine for their children. The study explores the impact of the educational intervention program on improving caregiver knowledge, intentions, and attitude regarding HPV and the HPV vaccine. Keywords: Human Papillomavirus; HPV vaccine; HPV parents’ education, knowledge, and attitude and intention; HPV vaccine rates; and HPV-vaccination administration.

description: The first gravitational-wave (GW) observations will greatly benefit from the detection of coincident electromagnetic counterparts. Electromagnetic follow-ups will nevertheless be challenging for GWs with poorly reconstructed directions. GW source localization can be inefficient (i) if only two GW observatories are in operation; (ii) if the detectors' sensitivities are highly non-uniform; (iii) for events near the detectors' horizon distance. For these events, follow-up observations will need to cover 100-1000 square degrees of the sky over a limited period of time, reducing the list of suitable telescopes. We demonstrate that the Cherenkov Telescope Array will be capable of following up GW event candidates over the required large sky area with sufficient sensitivity to detect short gamma-ray bursts, which are thought to originate from compact binary mergers, out to the horizon distance of advanced LIGO/Virgo. CTA can therefore be invaluable starting with the first multimessenger detections, even with poorly reconstructed GW source directions. This scenario also provides a further scientific incentive for GW observatories to further decrease the delay of their event reconstruction.

description: In 1992, Water Monitoring Management initiated the Ambient Biomonitoring Network (AMNET).  The goal of the program is to maintain a network of lotic (running water) stations in each major watershed drainage basin.  Each basin is biomonitored for benthic macroinvertebrate populations on a five (5) year rotation. The area of the upper tidal portion of the Delaware River Drainage Basin was initially monitored during  1995-96 and again in 1997-98.  The area was sampled from the sources of its many tributaries down to the Head-of-Tide.  This document reports the results of the analysis that were done on the samples collected in 1997-98.
title: The Association between Neighborhood Social Media Use and Social Cohesion, Sense of Community and Perceived Safety among Adults in Clark County, Nevada

description: Place-based health is a concept that suggests where you live has an effect on your health outcomes. Social health factors such as social cohesion, sense of community, and perceived safety are all influenced by the neighborhood environment, and positively associated with health outcomes such as self-reported minutes of physical activity and symptoms of depression. With the increasing popularity of social media sites used specifically for neighborhood purposes, more neighbors are connecting than ever before. The purpose of this study was to determine if use of neighborhood social media sites was associated with the social health factors of social cohesion, sense of community, and perceived safety among a subsample of adults in Clark County, Nevada. A survey using online and phone formats consisted of questions from the Brief Sense of Community Scale, the 2018 California Health Interview Survey, and the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Survey was used to measure social cohesion, sense of community, and perceived safety, respectively. A total of 869 participants completed the survey. Multiple regression analysis, controlling for demographic factors of age, race/ethnicity, gender, education, and income, revealed that the use of neighborhood social media was a significant predictor of small increases in the composite scores for social cohesion (B= 0.110, p=0.007) and sense of community (B=0.146, p=0.001), indicating lower perceived social cohesion and sense of community. Those who identified as Hispanic had lower perceived social cohesion, sense of community and perceived safety, and those identifying as Asian/Hawaiian/Pacific Islander had lower perceived social cohesion and sense of community than those who identified as White. An increase in age was associated with an increase in perceived sense of community and perceived safety. There was a significant positive correlation between all of the social health factors, with the strongest association between social cohesion and sense of community (r = 0.688). Given that neighborhood social media sites purport to increase connectedness, and we know that these social health indicators are associated with physical and mental health outcomes, the finding that use of neighborhood social media is associated with decreases in social health indicators is concerning. These findings support the need for further research into how neighborhood social media use is related to social health factors and their effect on physical and mental health outcomes.
Strong Coupling and non-Markovian Effects in the Statistical Notion of Temperature

description: We investigate the emergence of temperature T in the system-plus-reservoir paradigm starting from the fundamental microcanonical scenario at total fixed energy E where, contrary to the canonical approach, T=T(E) is not a control parameter but a derived auxiliary concept. As shown by Schwinger for the regime of weak coupling γ between system and environment, T(E) emerges from the saddle-point analysis that leads to the usual ensemble equivalence in the thermodynamic limit. By extending these ideas for finite γ, we provide a consistent generalization of temperature T(E,γ) in strongly coupled systems and we illustrate its main features for the specific model of Quantum Brownian Motion where it leads to consistent microcanonical thermodynamics. Interestingly, while this T(E,γ) is a monotonically increasing function of the total energy E, its dependence with γ is a purely quantum effect drastically different for Markovian and non-Markovian regimes
