description: The biotic assembly of the Revillagigedo Archipelago, Mexico, was analysed under an evolutionary biogeographic framework. We undertook a parsimony analysis of endemicity with progressive character elimination of 194 plant and animal species, which allowed us to identify the archipelago as a complex area or node where Nearctic and Neotropical biotic components overlap. We undertook a cladistic biogeographic analysis using the phylogenetic information of 42 taxon-area cladograms, from which one general-area cladogram was obtained: (Revillagigedo, (Sonoran, (Baja California, (Veracruzan, Pacific Lowlands)))). These results suggest that the Revillagigedo Archipelago may be classified as a province, although we prefer to keep it as a district of the Pacific Lowlands province. We identified two cenocrons (temporally integrated set of taxa) that can be dated to the Pliocene–Pleistocene: one Nearctic that dispersed from the Baja California Peninsula, and another Neotropical where the species dispersed from the Pacific coast to the islands. The geological information and the general-area cladograms allowed us to propose a geobiotic scenario for the archipelago where the islands are probably the result of volcanism associated with the oceanic Mathematician Ridge, and the arrival of the cenocrons to the archipelago may have occurred during the Pliocene–Pleistocene, after the islands were available for colonisation.

description: We propose an alternative method to compute the entropy production of a classical underdamped nonequilibrium system in a continuous phase space. This approach has the advantage that it is not necessary to distinguish between even and odd-parity variables. We show that the method leads to the same local entropy production as in previous studies while the differential entropy production along a stochastic trajectory turns out to be different. This demonstrates that the differential entropy production in continuous phase space systems is not uniquely defined.

description: We present the detection of pulsed gamma-ray emission from the Crab pulsar above 100 GeV with the VERITAS array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Gamma-ray emission at theses energies was not expected in pulsar models. The detection of pulsed emission above 100 GeV and the absence of an exponential cutoff makes it unlikely that curvature radiation is the primary production mechanism of gamma rays at these energies.

description: We compute the Yang-Mills vacuum wave functional in three dimensions at weak coupling with O(e^2) precision. We use two different methods to solve the Schroedinger functional equation. One of them generalizes to O(e^2) the method followed by Hatfield at O(e). The other uses the weak coupling version of the gauge invariant formulation of the Schroedinger equation and the ground state wave functional followed by Karabali, Nair, and Yelnikov. We compare both results and discuss the differences between them.

Sales and use taxes in Clark County and potential implications of the Internet sales tax moratorium
Creators: name: Smith, Patrick Timothy Collins
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2001

description: Sales taxes have been a much-depended on source of revenue for local governments since the early part of the 1900's. Southern Nevada local governments rely relatively heavily on sales and use taxes for a source of income. In 1998, the United States Congress passed an Act that imposed a moratorium on Internet sales tax collection until October 2001. With the explosive growth in Internet sales, the issue of the failed collection of an Internet sales tax has come to the forefront of local government finance discussions.
Quantum-field theories as representations of a single $^\ast$-algebra

description: We show that many well-known quantum field theories emerge as representations of a single $^\ast$-algebra. These include free quantum field theories in flat and curved space-times, lattice quantum field theories, Wightman quantum field theories, and string theories. We prove that such theories can be approximated on lattices, and we give a rigorous definition of the continuum limit of lattice quantum field theories.

description: Ribbed newts (genus Pleurodeles) are among the few species of amphibians present in open, dry and warm southern Mediterranean habitats. However, the factors that determine the presence of these species in such xeric environments remain poorly understood. We characterised the microhabitat niches of the three species of the genus (P. nebulosus, P. poireti and P. waltl). We used temperature–humidity probes and described the variation in the vegetative composition of their habitats. We found that the three species of this genus use sparsely vegetated habitats, exposed to high seasonal temperatures (above 35°C) and to broad intra-annual fluctuations in air temperature and humidity. The capacity of the three species to occupy microclimatically fluctuating environments explains why these urodeles are broadly distributed in disturbed landscapes in southern Mediterranean regions, where no other species of urodeles occur. Ribbed newts are highly adaptable to changing environments, which is advantageous under highly unstable Mediterranean hydrological regimes.
A Comparative Astrochemical Study Of The High-Mass Protostellar Objects NGC 7538 IRS 9 and IRS 1

description: We report the results of a spectroscopic study of the high-mass protostellar object NGC 7538 IRS 9 and compare our observations to published data on the nearby object NGC 7538 IRS 1. Both objects originated in the same molecular cloud and appear to be at different points in their evolutionary histo- ries, offering an unusual opportunity to study the temporal evolution of envelope chemistry in objects sharing a presumably identical starting composition. Observations were made with the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES), a sensitive, high spectral resolution (R = λ/Δλ \simeq 100,000) mid-infrared grating spectrometer. Forty-six individual lines in vibrational modes of the molecules C2H2, CH4, HCN, NH3 and CO were detected, including two isotopologues (13CO, 12C18O) and one combination mode (ν4 + ν5 C2H2). Fitting synthetic spectra to the data yielded the Doppler shift, excitation temperature, Doppler b parameter, column density and covering factor for each molecule observed; we also computed column density upper limits for lines and species not detected, such as HNCO and OCS. We find differences among spectra of the two objects likely attributable to their differing radiation and thermal environments. Temperatures and column densities for the two objects are generally consistent, while the larger line widths toward IRS 9 result in less saturated lines than those toward IRS 1. Finally, we compute an upper limit on the size of the continuum-emitting region (\sim2000 AU) and use this constraint and our spectroscopy results to construct a schematic model of IRS 9.

description: A great diversity of small fish species inhabiting shallow aquatic biotopes of the South American Atlantic Forest have been reported in recent years, but records of interstitial catfishes of the genus Listrura for the southern subtropical Brazilian region are still rare. During field inventories in this region, two new species were collected, which are herein described. The new species are distinguished from congeners by a combination of morphological characters, including caudal peduncle morphology, number of vertebrae, relative position of fins, and bone morphology. The findings here described indicate that the scarcity of records of Listrura for the subtropical Atlantic Forest is probably due to the absence of collecting efforts in specialised biotopes, since species of Listrura are leaf litter dwellers. Both new species are probably more closely related to L. depinnai than to other congeners as all three uniquely possess an expanded skin fold supporting the procurrent caudal-fin rays, making the caudal peduncle deeper than the body region anterior to the dorsal and anal fins. However, only one of the new species shares with L. depinnai the presence of a process on the dorsal surface of the autopalatine articular facet for the mesethmoid, a condition not occurring in any other congener. The two new species are easily distinguished from L. depinnai by the absence of a dorsal fin in the latter species. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:F68F2A3E-B5F7-418E-BFA6-EA6752BAB543 http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:F703D95A-0F7E-4261-8B97-5EAAAD9BD698

description: The Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) is an innovative medium-class mission selected for an assessment phase in the framework of the ESA M3 Cosmic Vision call. LOFT is intended to answer fundamental questions about the behaviour of matter in the very strong gravitational and magnetic fields around compact objects. With an effective area of ~10 m^2 LOFT will be able to measure very fast variability in the X-ray fluxes and spectra. A good knowledge of the in-orbit background environment is essential to assess the scientific performance of the mission and to optimize the instrument design. The two main contributions to the background are cosmic diffuse X-rays and high energy cosmic rays; also, albedo emission from the Earth is significant. These contributions to the background for both the Large Area Detector and the Wide Field Monitor are discussed, on the basis of extensive Geant-4 simulations of a simplified instrumental mass model.

description: The genus Dendrophryniscus belongs to the family Bufonidae and includes 16 species of Neotropical frogs endemic to the Atlantic Forest. Most species of the genus have bromeligenous habits, while some species use temporary pools for reproduction. The genus has many similar species, making specific identification based solely on adult morphology difficult. Therefore, additional information such as natural history, larval morphology, and molecular and acoustic data would contribute to better diagnosis of congeneric species. We collected data on Dendrophryniscus haddadi during routine monitoring between January 2013 and March 2022 in the non-governmental organization (NGO) Projeto Dacnis private reserve in Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil. In this study, we present novel natural history information about the species, such as habitat and hydric resource use, colour patterns, a predation event, reproductive biology including visual display, amplexus, number of eggs, and parental care, along with a description of D. haddadi tadpoles, which will be helpful for diagnosing tadpoles of different species in the genus.
Clark County School District: Bonds and debt. Can they be divided equally?
Creators: name: Izumigawa, Jocelyn
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2001

description: Clark County School District is one of the largest school districts in the nation with a student population of 203,616 for 1998-1999. Talk of deconsolidating Clark County School District has been proposed by Assembly persons. However, as recent as November 2000, another initiative for deconsolidation and reconfigurations had not been approved by the voters. One of the issues surrounding deconsolidation is the district's bond debt. An equitable division has not been reached should Clark County School District deconsolidate. This paper deals with dividing the bond debt equally among eight districts (identified in an earlier study of deconsolidation) and assessing whether each of the eight districts would be able to support its portion of the bond debt as well as continue to provide education to its population. The result show that rich and poor districts are created and two of the eight districts would run into problems funding their own districts even though their share of the debt is manageable.

description: This paper provides an overview of the non-gaming nightlife entertainment sector of Las Vegas resort-casinos. Three qualitative interviews with executives of The Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, The Monte Carlo Las Vegas Resort and Casino, and The Mirage Las Vegas were conducted to examine their perceptions and needs in the industry. This paper examines the impact the current economic recession is having on the Las Vegas nightlife and also reveals what types of questions resort-casino operators want to know about their customer. This exploratory research is a useful preliminary step that helps ensure that a more rigorous, more conclusive future study will not begin with an inadequate understanding of the nature of the problem.

description: Abstract
This study aims to report the results of using ventral onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty in the management of strictured urethra and urethrocutaneous fistula in adults by evaluating the success of the procedure and its long-term outcomes. This study was a case study, involving adults who had strictured urethra and urethrocutaneous fistula and underwent ventral onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty as a surgical procedure. Data were collected through medical records, clinical history, and physical examination of the patients. Information regarding the ventral onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty procedure, disease course, and treatment results were systematically recorded. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis method to describe patient characteristics and treatment outcomes. The results of this study showed that ventral onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty is an effective technique in the management of strictured urethra and urethrocutaneous fistula in adults. There was no evidence of complications, signs of graft failure, recurrent fistula, or urethral stricture at 1-month follow-up. The success of the procedure included healing of the urethral stricture and healing of the fistula. In addition, long-term results showed that patients had an improved quality of life after undergoing this procedure.
title: An Understanding of Factors Controlling Isotopic Ratios of Wine as a Potential Surrogate of Past Precipitation
Creators: name: Caldwell, Eric Alan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1995

description: Precipitation, vapor water, ground water, soil water, grape berry and grape leaf water, grape must, and vintage wines were collected from northern California for stable isotopic analysis. An understanding of factors controlling isotopic ratios of wine allows evaluation of wine as a surrogate of past precipitation. Stable isotopic compositions of grape berry waters collected at Charles Krug Winery in Napa Valley. CA range from -31 to -17 per mil in 8D and +7.2 to +15.3 per mil in 8180, and plot along a transpiration line of slope 2. 7. Grape leaf waters range from -25 to +5 per mil in 8D and +0.9 to +12.4 per mil in 8180, and plot along a transpiration line of slope 2.1. Isotopic compositions of wine range from -3 to +20 per mil in 1\D and +4.6 to +10.2 per mil in 8180 and plot along a ""wine line"" of slope 3.5. Similar samples collected from Concannon Vineyard in Livermore Valley, CA show similar variations as those from Napa Valley, CA.
Grape berry and grape leaf waters are up to 59 per mil in 8D and 18 per mil in 8180 more enriched than soil water. Grape leaf water was more responsive to pre-harvest precipitation, shifting 15 per mil in 8D and 8.1 per mil in 8180, than grape berries which showed a delayed shift of 13 per mil in 8D and 4.6 per mil in 8180.
Yearly variations in isotopic values for wines produced in Napa Valley in the last 30 years range from 0 to 13 per mil in 8D and 0.1 to 4.8 per mil in o180. Variations average 6 per mil in oD and 1. 7 per mil in o180 between each consecutive year. Strong correlations are observed between isotopic ratios of wine and temperature (0.94). relative humidity (·0.93), and ET (0.93) for approximately 1-3 months prior to harvest. The correlation with annual precipitation (0.30) suggests that amount of rainfall has nominal affect on stable isotopic ratios of wine. And the correlation observed between compositions of wine and wine quality (0.43) has no practical predictive capabilities.
Wines do not provide sufficient information for annual weather data In verification of climate models. Nevertheless. variations in stable isotopic ratios of wine represent changes in weather conditions during the growing season.

In particular we discuss [x^2, y] and [x^(1/2), y] for 0 <=, x <=, 1. For larger values of δ= \|[x; y]\| we can rigorous calculate the best possible upper bound \|[f(x), y]\| for many f. In other cases we have conducted numerical experiments that strongly suggest that we have in many cases found the correct formula for the best upper bound.

description: Given the growing use of impact metrics in the evaluation of scholars, journals, academic institutions, and even countries, there is a critical need for means to compare scientific impact across disciplinary boundaries. Unfortunately, citation-based metrics are strongly biased by diverse field sizes and publication and citation practices. As a result, we have witnessed an explosion in the number of newly proposed metrics that claim to be "universal." However, there is currently no way to objectively assess whether a normalized metric can actually compensate for disciplinary bias. We introduce a new method to assess the universality of any scholarly impact metric, and apply it to evaluate a number of established metrics. We also define a very simple new metric hs, which proves to be universal, thus allowing to compare the impact of scholars across scientific disciplines. These results move us closer to a formal methodology in the measure of scholarly impact.

title: The Sloan Sag: A Mid-Miocene Volcanotectonic Depression, North-Central McCullough Mountains, Southern Nevada
Creators: name: Bridwell, Hayden L.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1991

description: In the Hidden Valley area of the north-central McCullough Mountains, southern Nevada, mid-Miocene andesite and dacite domes, flows and pyroclastic units (the Sloan volcanics) partially fill a sag in the underlying Hidden Valley volcanics. The 13.5 km diameter sag formed during and/or after the eruption of the Sloan volcanics. Sagging was accommodated by a combination of movement on the McCullough Wash fault system, and subsidence into evacuated chambers.
Major, trace and rare-earth element geochemistry suggests that the rocks of the Sloan volcanics belong to four groups, each of which were produced by partial melting of chemically distinct sources. With the exception of the Center Mountain dome complex, magmas rose rapidly without significant crystal fractionation or crustal contamination.
The Mount Hanna andesite member of the Sloan volcanics erupted as a hot, dry aphyric lava by a mechanism of fire-fountaining from a depth of up to 25 km, precluding a Plinian-style ash-flow event. Eruptions of felsic-to-intermediate lavas by a lava-fountaining event have been described in other areas, but the Mount Hanna andesite represents the first documentation of such an eruption in the southern Basin-and-Range.
How does the share of foreign-born workers in nursing-related occupations affect nursing home quality in the United States?

description: The aging of larger numbers of Americans will require significant increases in the number of healthcare support workers. During the past years, foreign-born workers are playing a significant role in the direct care workforce in particular. Yet it is not always clear how foreign-born workers fill-in the current gaps. Using ACS (American Community Survey) and LTCFocus (Long-term Care: Facts on Care in the US) data from 2012 to 2016 and measuring quality by facility structures and residents’ health outcomes, this paper explores how shares of foreign-born workers in nursing-related occupations may contribute to the quality of nursing homes by applying a longitudinal model with a fixed effect for each nursing home. The result depends on different measures of quality and types of occupations, such as low-skilled occupations like Home Aides assistants and support workers and more professional occupations like registered nurses. I show that when using outcome measures of nursing home quality, such as long-stay residents with daily pain to measure quality, the estimators are generally insignificant, but in terms of Shares of Home Aides Supports occupations, they lead to an increase in quality. However, when using structural measures of nursing home quality, such as different staff ratios, some of the estimators are significant and although in a small attitude, leading to an increase in the quality. Overall, the effect of shares of foreign-born workers in Nursing-related occupations on nursing home quality remains a mixed picture. The result shows that increasing the shares of foreign-born workers itself may not lead to a better quality of nursing home, more effort shall be done to understand the mechanism behind this. Further studies shall focus on establishing better data and measurement.
title: Persuasiveness of the text: An analysis of Virginia Woolf's "Three Guineas"
Creators: name: Linder, Carl William-John
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2009

description: This analysis is a consideration of the Three Guineas by  Virginia Woolf and deals with her use of endnotes and citations  throughout the essay-novel, and their persuasive role in regards to the  text. This paper will investigate this paratextual source material and  its purposeful inclusion into the work. As mnemonic components and  logical evidence, the textual citations are subservient to the  persuasive quality of the text and the arrangement of her argument.  After separating historical elements from the rhetorical aspects of the  essay-novel, the paper explores Virginia Woolf's use of Classical  rhetorical strategies in constructing her argument in  Three Guineas. Next, the persuasive quality of Three Guineas is considered through Woolf's effective deployment of various aspects  of patriarchal language against itself within the work. Ultimately this  paper shows, with her systematic usurpation of language, Woolf actually  creates one of the most persuasive and rhetorical works of the last  century.
Fixation in the one-dimensional Axelrod model

description: The Axelrod model is a spatial stochastic model for the dynamics of cultures which includes two important social factors: social influence, the tendency of individuals to become more similar when they interact, and homophily, the tendency of individuals to interact more frequently with individuals who are more similar. Each vertex of the interaction network is characterized by its culture, a vector of $F$ cultural features that can each assumes $q$ different states. Pairs of neighbors interact at a rate proportional to the number of cultural features they have in common, which results in the interacting pair having one more cultural feature in common. In this article, we continue the analysis of the Axelrod model initiated by the first author by proving that the one-dimensional system fixates when $F\leq cq$ where the slope satisfies the equation $e^{-c}=c$. In addition, we show that the two-feature model with at least three states fixates. This last result is sharp since it is known from previous works that the one-dimensional two-feature two-state Axelrod model clusters.

description: We examine the effect of van der Waals (vdW) interactions between atomic force microscope (AFM) tips and individual carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supported on SiO2. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal how CNTs deform during AFM measurement, irrespective of the AFM tip material. The apparent height of a single- (double-) walled CNT can be used to estimate its diameter up to ~2 nm (~3 nm), but for larger diameters the CNT cross-section is no longer circular. Our simulations were compared against CNT dimensions obtained from AFM measurements and resonant Raman spectroscopy, with good agreement for the smaller CNT di-ameters. In general, AFM measurements of large-diameter CNTs must be interpreted with care, but the reliability of the approach is improved if knowledge of the number of CNT walls is avail-able, or if additional verification (e.g. by optical techniques) can be obtained.

description: We derive the fundamental parameters (temperature and luminosity) of 107 619 Hipparcos stars and place these stars on a true Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. This is achieved by comparing BT-Settl model atmospheres to spectral energy distributions (SEDs) created from Hipparcos, Tycho, SDSS, DENIS, 2MASS, MSX, AKARI, IRAS and WISE data. We also identify and quantify from these SEDs any infrared excesses attributable to circumstellar matter. We compare our results to known types of objects, focussing on the giant branch stars. Giant star dust production (as traced by infrared excess) is found to start in earnest around 680 Lsun.

description: We present a systematic hydrodynamic study of the evolution of hadron spectra and their azimuthal anisotropy from the lowest collision energy studied at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), sqrt(s) = 7.7 A GeV, to the highest energy reachable at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), sqrt(s) = 5500 A GeV. The energy dependence of the flow observables are quantitatively studied for both the Monte-Carlo Glauber and Monte-Carlo Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi (MC-KLN) models. For MC-Glauber model initial conditions with η/s = 0.08, the differential charged hadron elliptic flow v_2^{ch}(p_T, sqrt(s)) is found to exhibit a very broad maximum in the region 39 < sqrt(s) < 2760 A GeV. For MC-KLN initial conditions with η/s = 0.2, a similar "saturation" is not observed up to LHC energies. We emphasize that this "saturation" of elliptic flow arises from the interplay between radial flow and elliptic flow which shifts with sqrt(s) depending on the fluid's viscosity. By generalizing the definition of spatial eccentricity to isothermal hyper-surface, we also calculate ε_x on the kinetic freeze-out surface at different collision energies.

Energy reconstruction effects in neutrino oscillation experiments and implications for the analysis

description: Data on neutrino oscillation often involve reconstructed neutrino energies while the analysis implies the real neutrino energy. The corrections corresponding to the transformation from real to reconstructed energy are discussed in the case of Cherenkov detectors where multinucleon events appear as quasielastic ones. These corrections show up as a tendency for the events to escape the region of high flux, with a clear preference for the low energy side. This is an effect of the multinucleon component of the quasielastic cross section. We have applied our corrections to the T2K and MiniBooNE data for electron appearance or $ν_μ$ disappearance data. We show that the inclusion of this correction in the analysis is expected to lead to an increase of the best fit oscillation mass parameters, particularly pronounced for the MiniBooNE neutrino data. This inclusion in the analysis of the MiniBooNE neutrino data should improve the compatibility with the existing constraints.

description: We examine the first non-vanishing higher homotopy group, $π_p$, of the complement of a hypersolvable, non--supersolvable, complex hyperplane arrangement, as a module over the group ring of the fundamental group, $\Zπ_1$. We give a presentation for the $I$--adic completion of $π_p$. We deduce that the second nilpotent $I$--adic quotient of $π_p$ is determined by the combinatorics of the arrangement, and we give a combinatorial formula for the second associated graded piece, $\gr^1_I π_p$. We relate the torsion of this graded piece to the dimensions of the minimal generating systems of the Orlik--Solomon ideal of the arrangement $\A$ in degree $p+2$, for various field coefficients. When $\A$ is associated to a finite simple graph, we show that $\gr^1_I π_p$ is torsion--free, with rank explicitly computable from the graph.
