"Breaking Up Is Hard To Do": An Analysis of Parasocial Relationships and Breakups Among "How I Met Your Mother" Viewers
Creators: name: Montes De Oca, Sara
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: The study of one-sided mediated interactions, commonly known as parasocial interactions, have generated significant investigations which have examined both mediated relationships through television, the Internet, other media, and the discontinuation of these relationships (also known as parasocial breakups). These studies have specifically identified certain trends in which respondents have tended to form strong emotional connections with subject(s) within narrative fictional depictions. This study examines the relationship between parasocial breakup and the dissolution of a viewer following the end of primetime series, How I Met Your Mother. The following measures were used in the survey; 1) age, gender, and ethnicity; 2) parasocial relationships; 3) parasocial breakups; 4) viewing of the show; 5) attitudes toward the show; 6) attitude toward the favorite HIMYM character. Overall, findings support that stronger parasocial relationships with HIMYM, did indeed predict stronger parasocial breakups with HIMYM. Affinity to HIMYM and respondent's favorite HIMYM character as overall favorite TV character were also indicative of stronger parasocial breakup. This study proposes a Parasocial Interaction Paradigm for future research.

description: The intensity and the giant circular polarization of edge luminescence in a longitudinal magnetic field have been measured in nitrogen alloys GaAsN under circularly polarized pumping. It has been found that these dependences are shifted with respect to zero field by a value Beff. The magnitude of the internal field Beff increases with increase in pumping intensity and reaches saturation (~250 Gauss) at great densities of excitation. The saturation of the Beff field with growth of pumping indicates that this is a field of nuclei, polarized dynamically due to hyperfine interaction with optically oriented deep paramagnetic centers, rather than a field of exchange interaction created on the center by spin-polarized photo-excited conduction electrons. The short time of nuclear polarization by electrons (<15 mks), measured under modulation of circular polarization of the exciting light with high frequency, points to a small number of nuclei undergoing hyperfine interaction with an electron localized at a center.

description: Employing plasmonic antennas for subdiffraction focusing of light on recording media requires to take into account the complete structure of the medium, including dielectric cover layers. We find, with finite difference time domain simulations, that optical energy transfer to the magnetic recording layer is most efficient for an off-resonant antenna. Furthermore, we show that the focal spot in the magnetic film is well below the diffraction limit, making nanoscale all-optical magnetic data recording achievable.

description: We present a thermodynamical investigation of the alpha-gamma transition of Ce using first principles calculation based on the combination of Density Functional Theory with Dynamical Mean Field Theory. First, the scheme allows for an improvement in the description of spectral functions. Secondly, we are able to identify unambiguously a negative curvature in the internal energy versus volume curves. Thirdly, we compute - thanks to extensive calculations -, the electronic entropy and find thermodynamical functions variations during the transition in good agreement with experiment but with a renormalized temperature.

description: Hoje, as crianças nascem rodeadas de tecnologia e utilizam-na, diariamente, acedendo ao mundo com a ponta dos dedos. Mas se por um lado as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) são uma janela de oportunidades, por outro expõem crianças e famílias a uma multiplicidade de riscos. Para avaliar o impacto das TIC no contexto familiar, 179 indivíduos (23-47 anos) pertencentes a famílias com filhos até aos oito anos, responderam a um questionário sobre a utilização das TIC (QUTIC) e sobre o funcionamento familiar (SCORE-15). Os resultados revelaram que as TIC são sobretudo utilizadas para contactar com familiares distantes (91%), porém, discussões sobre o tempo despendido com as TIC (67%) e falta de limites entre a vida familiar e profissional/escolar (47%) foram os maiores problemas evidenciados. Estes problemas acarretam dificuldades na interação dos membros das famílias, sobretudo ao nível da dimensão dos recursos familiares, isto é, das capacidades da família para gerir problemas quotidianos e adaptar-se a mudanças (r = .360, p < .01). O presente estudo permitiu conhecer o tipo de utilização das TIC realizado pelos participantes, as suas perceções sobre o impacto das TIC nas dinâmicas familiares, bem como compreender melhor a complexidade destas relações.

description: The electronic structure and magnetic properties of CrSb$_2$ have been investigated by ab-initio calculations with an emphasis on the role of the magnetic structure for the ground state. The influence of correlation effects has been investigated by performing fixed spin moment (FSM) calculations showing their important role for the electronic and magnetic properties. The details of the electronic structure of CrSb$_2$ are analyzed by a comparison with those of FeSb$_2$. The results obtained contribute in particular to the understanding of the temperature dependence of transport and magnetic behavior observed experimentally.

description: Recursive matrix relations for the complete dynamics of a 3-PRP planar parallel robot are established in this paper. Three identical planar legs connecting to the moving platform are located in the same vertical plane. Knowing the motion of the platform, we develop first the inverse kinematical problem and determine the positions, velocities and accelerations of the robot. Further, the inverse dynamic problem is solved using an approach based on the principle of virtual work. Finally, some graphs of simulation for the input powers of three actuators and the internal joint forces are obtained.

title: Comparison of Simulation Methods of Single and Multi-Bit Continuous Time Sigma Delta Modulators
Creators: name: Koirala, Benju
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2017

description: Continuous time Sigma Delta Modulators (CT ΣΔMs) are a type of analog to digital converter (ADC) that are used in mixed signal systems to convert analog signals into digital signals. ADCs typically require antialiasing filter; however antialiasing filters are inherent in CT ΣΔMs, and therefore they require less circuitry and less power than other ADC architectures that require separate antialiasing filters. As a result, CT ΣΔM ADC architectures are preferred in many mixed signal electronic applications.
Because of the mixed signal nature of CT ΣΔMs, they can be difficult to simulate. In this thesis, various methods for simulating single-bit and multi-bit CT ΣΔMs are developed and these simulations include the bilinear transform or trapezoidal integration, impulse invariance transform, midpoint integration, Simpson's rule, delta transform or Euler's forward integration rule and Simulink modeling. These methods are compared with respect to speed which is given by the total simulation time, accuracy which is given by the signal to noise ratio (SNR) value and the simplicity of the simulation method. The CT ΣΔMs have been extended from first order up to fifth order with one, two and three bit quantizers. Also, the frequency domain analysis is done for all the orders of CT ΣΔMs.
The results show that the numerical integration methods are more accurate and faster than Simulink. However, CT ΣΔM simulations using Simulink are simpler because of the availability of the required blocks in Simulink. The overall comparison shows that the numerical integration methods can perform better than Simulink models. The frequency domain analysis proves the correctness of the use of numerical integration methods for CT ΣΔM simulations.

title: Schottky Diode Based Envelope Detectors in Planar Topology for UWB and W-Band
Creators: name: Blanco Granja, Angel
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: The massive growth in the demand of wireless communication data rates and services require new technologies to grant broader bandwidths to end users. This work is encompassed in the European project CELTA (Convergence of Electronics and Photonics Technologies for Enabling Terahertz Applications) within the beamformer demonstrator, which aims to develop a transmitter and a receiver capable of providing high bitrate wireless indoor communications operating at W-band (75GHz to 110 GHz). This dissertation presents the design of five Schottky diode based balanced Envelope Detectors (ED). The first two detectors, UWB1 and UWB2, operate in the Ultra-WideBand (UWB) frequency range from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz and are used to compare different architectures at low complexity and cost. The other three, ED1, ED2 and ED3, work in the W-band for the final goal of the beamformer demonstrator. UWB1 is composed of a balun that splits the input signal into two 180° out of phase signals and a single balanced detector circuit. It demodulates in real time and error free up to 4 Gbit/s Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) signals with carrier frequencies between 4 GHz and 8 GHz. It reaches a World record in the State of The Art in terms of bitrate to carrier frequency ratio, ∆b, of 100 % for the 4 GHz carrier frequency. UWB2 introduces a novel architecture, combining the functionality of a balun and, at the same time rectification of the input signal, providing a more compact configuration and featuring a higher sensitivity than UWB1. As a consequence of its lower phase balance bandwidth, it demodulates in real time and error free up to 2.5 Gbit/s ASK signals modulated onto a 8 GHz carrier, providing a ∆b of 31.25 %. In the three W-band EDs, UWB2’s architecture is chosen, prioritising sensitivity, size, weight, complexity and cost over demodulated bitrate and phase balance bandwidth. The W-band EDs are built in microstrip line technology, and provide a WR-10 waveguide interface through a microstrip line to WR-10 waveguide transition. ED1’s prototype features an input RF bandwidth of 20 GHz within the W-band, 6 GHz of videobandwidth and demodulates in real time and error free up to 12 Gbit/s ASK signals. When tested in a wireless system it demodulates up to 7 Gbit/s ASK signals with a 82 GHz carrier transmitted through 1 m. These results not only fulfil the goals set for this dissertation and the CELTA’s beamformer requirements, but in addition, it improves the state of the art, since the prior envelope detector using the same diodes and substrate demodulated 3 Gbit/s through 0.5 m. Moreover, two additional W-band EDs designs are presented. According to simulation results, both detectors widen the input bandwidth, ED2 up to 35 GHz, i.e. the full W-band, and ED3 up to 29GHz. Although both envelope detectors have been manufactured, their experimental characterization remains as future work, since due to time constraints it could not be performed.

description: Ausgehend von dem Befund einer „Ökonomisierung“ der Sozialpolitik wird am Beispiel der Debatte um die Einführung des Elterngeldes in dieser Arbeit die Frage nach den Konsequenzen dieses Prozesses für die Wahrnehmung, das Selbstverständnis und die Handlungsmöglichkeiten von Familienpolitik gestellt. Im Rückgriff auf Foucaults Diskursanalyse wird aufgezeigt, dass bestimmte Wirkungsweisen des Diskurses die Zugangsmöglichkeiten werthafter Begründungen beschränken und dass durch den Diskurs produziertes Wissen Auswirkungen auf die Spielräume (des Denkens und damit des) politischen Handelns hat. Bestimmte Handlungsfelder können so aus dem Bereich des „Machbaren“ verschwinden. Es wird die These vertreten, dass die Verengung des Diskurses auf ökonomische Denk- und Argumentationsweisen bedeutende Auswirkungen auf den Kern von demokratischer Politik hat: den Streit um Interessen und Ideen, das Ringen um das Gemeinwohl.

Assuming a chaotic inflation model, we find that the initial condition determined by the attractor behavior is appropriate to generate a sizable non-Gaussianity contribution to the curvature perturbation, which will be tested in the foreseeable future. Implications on the thermal history of the universe and on particle physics models are also discussed.

An Evaluation of Food Insecurity Rates and Its Correlates in a Filipino American Population Sample Residing In Clark County, Nevada
Creators: name: Cheong, Prescott M
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Filipino Americans comprise over half of the Asian American population in Clark County, Nevada. In 2016, 1.6% of Asian American households in Clark County reported being food insecure, which was considerably lower than food insecurity rates for White, non-Hispanic households (14.5%). Yet, Clark County demographic data reveals that 24% of Filipino-headed households report incomes at 200% or below the federal poverty level compared to 33% for Whites. Food insecurity rates specific to Filipino Americans in Clark County are lacking. Moreover, available food insecurity data aggregates Filipinos with other Asian American subgroups, which ignores the heterogeneity inherent to the Asian American community. In order to evaluate food insecurity rates in Filipino Americans, questions from the USDA 6-Item Short Form Food Security Survey Module was used, as part of a larger health needs assessment conducted among 200 Filipino Americans residing in Clark County. Study participants were recruited at Filipino ethnic club events, Filipino-based organizations, Filipino church proceedings, and a Filipino grocery store. The purpose of this study was to identify and better understand the contextual factors influencing food insecurity in this study population, and to apply the Social Ecological Model as a theoretical framework. Overall, 27.1% of respondents reported experiencing food insecurity in the past year. A Chi-square test demonstrated a statistically significant difference in this Filipino American study sample's food insecurity rates compared to the reported Clark County food insecurity rates for Asian American households. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the intrapersonal and policy level of the Social Ecological Model significantly predicted food security status. Specifically, household incomes less than $20,000, an education level of high school or below, having no health insurance, and eating mainly Western or American foods were significant independent predictors of food insecurity among the Filipino American study sample. In the subsequent multivariate regression models containing the four independent predictors of food insecurity, all variables, except for an education level of high school or below, remained significant. The findings from this study will be used to inform future targeted interventions for the Filipino American communities in Clark County.

description: We perform canonical quantization of the Stueckelberg Lagrangian for massive vector fields in the conformally flat patch of de Sitter space in the Bunch-Davies vacuum and find their Wightman two-point functions by the mode-sum method. We discuss the zero-mass limit of these two-point functions and their limits where the Stueckelberg parameter $ξ$ tends to zero or infinity. It is shown that our results reproduce the standard flat-space propagator in the appropriate limit. We also point out that the classic work of Allen and Jacobson for the two-point function of the Proca field and a recent work by Tsamis and Woodard for that of the transverse vector field are two limits of our two-point function, one for $ξ\to \infty$ and the other for $ξ\to 0$. Thus, these two works are consistent with each other, contrary to the claim by the latter authors.

TESS Experiments: Deadly Divisions in Mass Pandemic Responses
Creators: name: Wronski, Julie
Publisher: name: Roper Center for Public Opinion Research
Year: 2023

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to test if existing intergroup conflicts based on race, geography, and partisanship undermine nation-wide cooperative efforts in the coronavirus (COVID-19) response. The experiment was carried out in two tests: a conjoint model and a between-subject item. The conjoint test randomized social profile traits of communities facing a COVID-19 outbreak without adequate resources: partisanship (Republican vs. Democrat), urbanicity (rural vs. urban), age (younger vs. older), race (White vs. African American vs. Hispanic), and degree of compliance with COVID-19 social distancing (following vs. not following). Due to implausibility of the combination, African American Republican community variations were removed from the conjoint. Each respondent viewed two community profiles and was asked to rate their willingness to send aid and specify the percent of their own community’s supplies they would send. The between-subjects experimental item randomly assigned respondents to one of seven primes on the disproportionate impacts of the virus in some communities (control/no community specified, African American, Hispanic, poor, urban, Democratic, or Republican) before asking respondents to rate their willingness to reopen local and state economies even if large numbers of the community members mentioned in the prime would die from the virus. A total of 1,008 respondents participated. Prior to either test, respondents were asked to complete feeling thermometers on groups of people, rate groups as American/un-American, and complete measures of affective polarization and American/partisan identity. After the between-subjects test, respondents were asked to report how they felt about potential disproportional deaths of Democrats and Republicans and answer measures of COVID-19 personal impacts. This allowed for comparison of attitudes about intercommunity support and cooperative action across sociopolitical profiles of receiving communities and respondent bias towards or conflict with those communities.
Contributions of point defects, chemical disorder, and thermal vibrations to electronic properties of Cd(1-x)Zn(x)Te alloys

description: We present a first principles study based on density functional theory of thermodynamic and electronic properties of the most important intrinsic defects in the semiconductor alloy Cd(1-x)Zn(x)Te with x<0.13. The alloy is represented by a set of supercells with disorder on the Cd/Zn sublattice. Defect formation energies as well as electronic and optical transition levels are analyzed as a function of composition. We show that defect formation energies increase with Zn content with the exception of the neutral Te vacancy. This behavior is qualitatively similar to but quantitatively rather different from the effect of volumetric strain on defect properties in pure CdTe. Finally, the relative carrier scattering strengths of point defects, alloy disorder, and phonons are obtained. It is demonstrated that for realistic defect concentrations carrier mobilities are limited by phonon scattering for temperature above approximately 150 K.

description: Context: Flexibility is an important aspect of physical performance and when deficient can result in an increased opportunity for injury. Cupping therapy is an ancient technique that has recently seen a growth in popularity in Western Orthopedic medicine as a soft tissue mobilization technique. Most cupping therapy research explores the use of cupping therapy for treating headache, herpes zoster, asthma, cough, and other non-orthopedic pathologies. Cupping therapy has had positive results on an injured population for increasing flexibility. Objective: To identify if cupping therapy applied passively for 10 minutes results in an increase in flexibility, and to identify if there is a placebo effect with the sham cupping treatment. Design: Double-blinded randomized repeated measures trial. Setting: laboratory. Participants: 40 semi-active participants were recruited (age: 23.52 ± 3.50 years, height: 171.89 ± 9.23 cm, mass: 72.864 ± 14.90 kg) with hamstring range of motion less than 80 degrees. Exclusion criteria included previous cupping therapy experience, allergies to adhesive, any lower extremity injury in the past 6 months, previous cupping experience and cupping therapy contraindications: pregnancy, sunburn, rash, contusions. Methods: Participants reported to the Sports Injury Research Clinic on three occasions, on the first occasion participants completed informed consent and questionnaire, followed by the secondary investigator performing the pre-treatment measurement, then the primary investigator performed one of three randomly assigned treatment options, cupping, sham, and control. Treatment was for 10 minutes with the patient laying prone and relaxed. Then the participant underwent range of motion testing post treatment, and after 10 minutes of laying relaxed. Participants returned on two other occasions with at least one week in between to perform the other treatment conditions. Main Outcome Measurements: Hamstring range of motion to measure flexibility, measured three times, pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 10 minutes post-treatment. An active straight leg raise was performed 4 times for each measurement with the average of the last 2 was taken as the measurement. A 3x3x2 ANOVA in SPSS was utilized for data analysis. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between cupping and control conditions (p=0.004). Cupping had a significantly higher range of motion at pre-treatment (p=0.032), post-treatment (p=0.017), and 10-minutes (p=0.006). There was no significant difference in the interaction between Condition, Time, and Sex (p=0.263). There was no significant interaction between Condition and Sex (p=0.230), Time and Condition (p=0.443), and Time and Sex (p=0.064). Conclusion: Cupping therapy applied to a healthy individual for 10 minutes does not create an increase in hamstring flexibility. Word Count: 410 words

description: This paper considers a two-dimensional logistic model to study populations with two genders. The growth behavior of a population is guided by two coupled ordinary differential equations given by a non-differentiable vector field whose parameters are the secondary sex ratio (the ratio of males to females at time of birth), inter-, intra- and outer-gender competitions, fertility and mortality rates and a mating function. For the case where there is no inter-gender competition and the mortality rates are negligible with respect to the density-dependent mortality, using geometrical techniques, we analyze the singularities and the basin of attraction of the system, determining the relationships between the parameters for which the system presents an equilibrium point. In particular, we describe conditions on the secondary sex ratio and discuss the role of the average number of female sexual partners of each male for the conservation of a two-sex species.

description: Coherent structures in two-dimensional Navier–Stokes turbulence are ubiquitously observed in nature, experiments and numerical simulations. The present study conducts a comparison between several structure detection schemes based on the Okubo–Weiss criterion, the vorticity magnitude and Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), focusing on the inverse cascade in two-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence. A recently introduced vortex scaling phenomenology (Burgess & Scott, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 811, 2017, pp. 742–756) allows the quantification of the respective thresholds required by these methods based on physical properties of the flow. The resulting improved comparability allows us to identify characteristic relative differences in the detection sensitivity between the employed structure detection techniques. With respect to the inverse cascade of energy, coherent structures contribute, as expected, substantially less to the cross-scale flux than the residual incoherent parts of the flow although the energetically dominant coherent structures lead to an important large-scale deformation of the energy spectrum. This cascade inactivity can be understood by an increased misalignment of strain-rate and subgrid stress tensors within coherent structures. At the same time, the structures exhibit strong and localised nonlinear cross-scale interactions that appear to stabilise them. We quantify and interpret the resulting shape preservation of coherent structures in terms of a multi-scale gradient approach (Eyink, J. Fluid Mech., vol. 549, 2006, pp. 191–214) as the depletion of strain rotation and vorticity gradient stretching whereas the dynamics of the residual fluctuations are consistent with the vortex thinning picture.

description: The availability of data concerning cultural heritage is a key condition for the preservation and enhancement of valuable assets, particularly when they are exposed to relevant hazards, and needs to be improved when safety evaluation, like those associated with the Artistic Limit State (ALS) of heritage structures and assets, are required. This task can be supported by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that can provide easy-to-manage and efficient tools capable to properly describe the current conditions of cultural heritage components in a comprehensive way. Hierarchical and structured information can be collected and managed in the form of databases made of heterogeneous data, including pictures and sketches. In such a context, one of the main aspects of the process is the correlation between movable and immovable assets and their potential interactions under exceptional actions.

An Energy-Efficient, Time-Constrained Scheduling Scheme in local mobile cloud
Creators: name: Shi, Ting

description: Mobile devices have limited resource, such as computation performance and battery life. Mobile cloud computing is gaining popularity as a solution to overcome these resource limitations by sending heavy computation to resourceful servers and receiving the results from these servers. Local mobile clouds comprised of nearby mobile devices are proposed as a better solution to support real-time applications. Since network bandwidth and computational resource is shared among all the mobile devices, a scheduling scheme is needed to ensure that multiple mobile devices can efficiently offload tasks to local mobile clouds, satisfying the tasks' time constraint while keeping low-energy consumption. Two critical challenges need to be solved: (1) estimation of the energy consumption and completion time for tasks to be scheduled, (2) schedule the tasks from multiple source nodes to an appropriate device to accomplish the computation and receive the results.
In this thesis, the adaptive probabilistic task scheduler for local mobile clouds is proposed. The scheduler relies on periodic network messages to discover neighboring computation and network resources. It first estimates the completion time and energy consumption at each potential processing node. Next, it schedules the current task to the proper processing node in a probabilistic way and adaptively adjusts its time margin to improve performance under the unpredictable network condition. Comparing with other existing scheduling schemes, the experimental results confirm that the proposed scheduler achieves highest task completion rate and the lowest average energy per successful task. In addition, the proposed scheduler is able to accommodate different types of tasks and network scenarios.

Documentation strategies for a non-invasive structural and decay analysis of medieval civil towers: an application on the Clock Tower in Pavia

description: The civil towers in Pavia are a distinctive element of the city’s architectural heritage, dating back to the Medieval Age as a statement of the lordship’s power and wealth. They constitute singularities in the urban landscape, with out-of-scale vertical development, whether in the original morphology or altered by subsequent actions. Furthermore, they are embedded in a dense urban fabric and therefore they are naturally associated with local risks for the safety of the urban setting and of its users. These peculiarities require accurate and complex documentation practices, and they foster monitoring and morpho-material mapping as preliminary actions to their conservation. The knowledge analysis that has been developed on the case study of the Clock Tower aims to systematize a documentation strategy for delivering an accurate and updated conservation status of the wall surfaces. Digital survey outputs are then developed as diagnosis tools to support intervention procedures, by highlighting deformations and deteriorations that could cause structural instability.
