description: In this paper, a new method based on Greens function theory and Fourier transform analysis has been proposed for calculating band structure with high accuracy and low processing time. This method utilizes sampling of potential energy in some points of crystals unit cell with Dirac delta functions, then through lattice Fourier transform gives us a simple and applicable formula for most of nanostructures. Sampling of potential in a crystal lattice of any kind contains accurate approximation of actual potential energy of atoms in the crystal. The step forward regarding the method concentrated on two novel ideas, Firstly, the potential was sampled and approximated by delta functions spread over the unit cell. Secondly, the principal equation of lattice is translated into reciprocal lattice and resulted in a huge reduction of calculations. By this method, it is possible to extract the band structure of any one, two or three dimensional crystalline structure.

description:
This project explores experiential, place-based, sustainable-design education on a higher-ed campus farm. It includes program development concepts as well as curriculum development for hands-on teaching of agroecology, ecological design and permaculture. The focus is the application of sustainable systems thinking to the educational farm environment to facilitate meaningful connections between theory and practice as well as between the student and their immediate environment.

The .PDF document outlines a 3-year process of developing the teaching potential of Western Washington University's Outback Farm. This includes personal reflection on administrative tasks, teaching experiences and discourse in environmental education. Much of the work draws on the authors personal experiences working within the University to develop the site and associated programming. This was all conducted in the partial completion of a Master's in Environmental Education.

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we investigate how to simultaneously change homotopy algebras of a certain type and a corresponding infinity morphism between them, and show that this can be done in a homotopically unique way. More precisely, for a reduced cooperad C, given Ω(C)-algebras V and W and an infinity-morphism U from V to W, for any derivation ϕof Ω(C) we produce new Ω(C)-algebras V' and W' and a new infinity-morphism U' between them, that are unique up to homotopy. Operads play the central role in answering this question, in particular a 2-colored operad Cyl(C) that governs pairs of homotopy algebras and infinity-morphisms between them.

description: Lepus pequensis Blyth, 1855. J. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, 24:471. TYPE LOCALITY: " Pegu " [Upper Pegu, Burma]. DISTRIBUTION: C, S Burma from Chindwin River valley east through Thailand; Cambodia; S Laos, S Vietnam; south in upper Malay Peninsula (Burma, Thailand) to 120°N. STATUS: Does not seem threatened (Flux and Angermann, 1990). SYNONYMS: siamensis Bonhote, 1902; vassali Thomas, 1906. COMMENTS: Placed by Gureev (1964: 144) in Caprolagus (Indolagus); he ranked siamensis as a distinct species; but see Lekagul and McNeely (1977:333) and Flux and Angermann (1990). Petter (1961) suggested that pequensis might be conspecific with nigricollis because of its close resemblance to L. n. ruficaudatus. However, L. n. ruficaudatus appears to be allopatric with respect to pequensis in E India-W Burma. Angermann (in litt., 1992) considered pequensis conspecific with nigricollis.

title: Interpreting the dynamics of submarine landslides through hydroacoustic modeling, West Mata volcano, NE Lau Basin
Creators: name: Drobiarz, Jonathan G.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
Landslides are an integral process in the development of submarine volcanoes, but these events are rarely recorded and observed. Therefore, understanding how the morphology of volcanoes evolve requires information on landslides. Hydroacoustic signals were analyzed for the purposes of characterizing frequent landslides on West Mata volcano during a 5-month eruptive period. Over 200 landslide signals have been compared in conjunction with hydroacoustic modeling to better understand the dynamics that control them. We used interference patterns produced by multipath rays to identify and model these slope failures. Landslides were most clearly captured on the north and west stations, suggesting a source on the western face of West Mata. This is consistent with a zone of high sediment accumulation previously found by bathymetric depth difference mapping. Landslides were found to initiate ~200-300 m below the summit and travel at speeds of 4-8 m/s, and possibly up to 20 m/s. Slope failures were observed during periods of high eruptive activity suggesting failure by unstable tephra loading preferentially at sites of previous sliding. Landslides at West Mata also tend to occur in clusters with decreasing run out distances over time. It is recommended that future studies involve a denser hydrophone network to better locate landslides and model slide mechanics.

description: In a recent paper, W. She, J. Yu and R. Feng reported the slight deformations observed upon transmission of a light pulse through a fairly short length of a silica glass nano-fiber. Relating the shape and magnitude of these deformations to the momentum of the light pulse both inside and outside the fiber, these authors concluded that, within the fiber, the photons carry the Abraham momentum. In my view, the authors' claim that they have resolved the Abraham-Minkowski controversy surrounding the momentum of photons inside dielectric media is premature. A correct interpretation of the experiments of She et al requires precise calculations that would properly account not only for the electromagnetic momentum (both inside and outside the fiber) but also for the Lorentz force exerted on the fiber by the light pulse in its entire path through this nano-waveguide.

title: College Students’ Values for Self-Expression, their Facebook Use, and Bridging Social Capital
Creators: name: Melton, Chelsea J.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
Emerging adults are coming of age in social worlds permeated by social media. Communication with others on social media can provide access to bridging social capital, defined as social resources embedded in relationships with acquaintances which promote access to new information. Grooming ties through self-expression and masspersonal communication in networked publics is important for acquiring bridging social capital, behaviors complicated by context collapse. When engaging in masspersonal communication, social media users must balance their desire to express themselves with their desire to maintain positive impressions to multiple audiences. Recent research suggests an important strategy for navigating context collapse is the use of privacy controls. However, using privacy controls could inhibit relational maintenance with acquaintances who offer novel information. The current study investigates how college students are adapting to masspersonal communication on Facebook by examining their bridging social capital, privacy control behaviors, values for self-expression, and network diversity. Confirming previous research, bridging social capital was associated with frequency of Facebook use and relationship maintenance behaviors, however, it was not associated with privacy control behaviors or network diversity. Value for self-expression, relationship maintenance behaviors, Facebook use, and network size each uniquely predicted bridging social capital. Further, strength of self-expression endorsements differed across masspersonal communication topics. Qualitative analysis of college students’ reasoning about the appropriateness of various masspersonal communication topics provides insights into the values and priorities young people are bringing into their social constructions of online norms in response to new tensions created by context collapse. Implications of findings are discussed.
title: Six Weeks of Creatine-Electrolyte Supplement Effects on Muscle Fatigability
Creators: name: Miller, Donnelly R.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2017

description:
Creatine supplementation is an ergogenic aid that is often used to enhance resistance training. Electrolytes can help to increase the absorption of creatine. This study examined effects of two differently formulated creatine supplements, creatine monohydrate (CM) or creatine-magnesium chelate (CE), compared to placebo on fatigue, work, and power during knee extensions. Subjects (n=23; 21.9±1.8 years) maintained their regular resistance training program and had not supplemented with creatine in the previous 6 months. Supplementation was 4 g creatine daily for CM and CE, plus 400 mg magnesium in CE. Maximum torque and fatigue of knee extensions at 180 ° sec-1 were determined using an isokinetic dynamometer for 2 sets of 30 repetitions each, with 2 minutes rest between sets. Fatigue was calculated by the ratio between the first 1/3 and the last 1/3 of work for each set. Body composition was determined via a three-site skin-folds using standard calipers. Statistical analyses were performed using mixed ANOVA. Fatigue results demonstrated no significant differences (p > 0.05). For work and average power, there were no significant interaction effects (p > 0.05) in either set 1 or 2. There was a significant time effect for work (1987.49±617.65 J, CM: 1978.55±723.21 J, CE: 2485.57±677.58 J; p = 0.001; ηp2=0.371) and average power (165.4±70.33 W, CM: 160.59±56.28 W, CE: 186±66.71 W; p = 0.003; ηp2=0.407) in set 1; with no significant differences in set 2 (p > 0.05). There were no significant effects of time or group for body composition (p > 0.05). There were no significant differences in these variables for the second set in any group. Supplementation with a creatine-electrolyte formula may help increase total work and average power in resistance-trained individuals.

description: The Swift era has posed a challenge to the standard blast-wave model of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows. The key observational features expected within the model are rarely observed, such as the achromatic steepening (`jet-break') of the light curves. The observed afterglow light curves showcase additional complex features requiring modifications within the standard model. Here we present optical/NIR observations, millimeter upper limits and comprehensive broadband modelling of the afterglow of the bright GRB 0505025A, detected by Swift. This afterglow cannot be explained by the simplistic form of the standard blast-wave model. We attempt modelling the multi-wavelength light curves using (i) a forward-reverse shock model, (ii) a two-component outflow model and (iii) blast-wave model with a wind termination shock. The forward-reverse shock model cannot explain the evolution of the afterglow. The two component model is able to explain the average behaviour of the afterglow very well but cannot reproduce the fluctuations in the early X-ray light curve. The wind termination shock model reproduces the early light curves well but deviates from the global behaviour of the late-time afterglow.

title: “What Makes ‘em Tick?” The Impact of Parenting Style and Parent-Initiated Motivational Climate on Student Athletes’ Motivation Orientation in the  Context of Intercollegiate Athletics
Creators: name: Lyons, Logan Kateryna
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2020

description: Motivation has become a widely studied construct in intercollegiate athletics, as coaches and administrators have sought to maximize the socioemotional and performance aspects of athletic competition. While researchers acknowledge parents as having an important role in the socialization of motivation, research in this area has largely focused on sport-specific parenting practices, failing to account for the broader components of global parenting style that may influence parent-initiated motivational climates, and subsequently the motivational profiles exhibited by developing student athletes. The present study was designed to investigate the relationship among global parenting style, parent-created motivational climate, and student-athlete motivation within the context of intercollegiate athletics. A sample of 156 student athletes aged 18 to 25 (M = 20.45, SD = 1.60) from two different Division I universities in the Intermountain West region of the United States completed a 74-item questionnaire composed of items related to global parenting style (PSDQ), parent-initiated motivational climate (PIMCQ-2), and student-athlete motivation (TEOSQ). Due to relative homogeneity of parenting styles and practices among the study sample, mediation analyses were used to determine the relationship between authoritative parenting style and student-athlete task motivation as mediated by parent-initiated mastery climate. Unstandardized indirect effects were computed for each of 5000 bootstrapped samples yielding an indirect effect of .76 (95% CI = .31, 1.46, p= .03). Present findings highlight the importance of the parent-child relationship, specifically the role of parenting styles and practices in the enhancement of student athletes’ intrinsic motivation. Importantly, doing so would hold the potential to bolster student-athlete well-being and satisfaction with the college experience, two stated goals of the NCAA.
title: Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Using a Multi-Objective Optimization Tool for Best Management Practices Selection and Spatial Placement in the Lower Bear River Watershed, Utah
Creators: name: Salha, Ali A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: This dissertation presents a set of approaches to help address water quality problems related to total phosphorus loads in water bodies. Water quality degradation is caused by many nonpoint sources such as agricultural runoff, fertilizers applications, and bank erosion. Three studies present methodologies for water quality protection from degradation in watersheds. The first study demonstrates the application of a watershed simulation tool that can quantify flows in the watershed, the amount of released pollutants and identify the areas contributing to the pollutants’ release in the watershed. The second study presents a simple combination tool that can pair potential management practices with the identified nonpoint sources areas to generate cost-effective combinations of management practices for reducing excess phosphorus loading to water bodies. The last study develops an optimization framework that recommends the area optimum sizes that are available for implementing management practices. These studies were applied to real-case problems to reduce excess nutrients within the Lower Bear River Watershed in northern Utah and expected to improve the management of nutrient control plans under the allocated funds.

description: Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines (NSML), formerly known as LEOPARD syndrome (LS), is an autosomal dominant inherited multisystemic disorder. Most patients involve mutation in SHP2 encoded by tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 11 (PTPN11) gene. Studies have shown that NSML-associated Y279C mutation exhibited the reduced phosphatase activity, leading to loss-of-function (LOF) of SHP2. However, the effect of the Y279C mutation on the SHP2 at the molecular level is unclear. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations of SHP2 wild-type (SHP2WT) and Y279C mutant (SHP2Y279C) were performed to investigate the structural differences in proteins after Y279C mutation and to find out the reason for loss-of-function of SHP2. Through a series of post-dynamic analyses, it was found that the protein occupied a smaller phase space after Y279C mutation, showing reduced flexibility. Specifically, due to the mutation of Y279C, the secondary structures of these two regions (residues Lys70-Ala72 and Gly462-Arg465) were significantly transformed from Turn to α-helix and β-strand. Furthermore, by calculating the residue interaction network, hydrogen bond occupancy and binding free energy, it was further revealed that the conformational differences between SHP2WT and SHP2Y279C systems were mainly caused by the differences in the interaction between Arg465–Phe469, Ile463–Gly467, Cys279–Lys70, Cys459–Ala72, Gly464–Phe71, Phe71–Ile463, Ile463–Ala505 and Arg465–Glu361. Consequently, this finding is expected to provide a new insight into the reason for loss-of-function of SHP2 caused by Y279C mutation. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: We summarize recent results obtained in [1] on the running m_{c,b}(m_{c,b}) in the MS scheme and f_{D_(s), B_(s)} using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) known to N2LO PT series, including all dimension-six NP condensate contributions in the full QCD theory, an estimate of the N3LO terms based on the geomteric growth of the PT series and using the most recent values of the QCD input parameters given in Table [1]. The study of the effects of the subtraction scale μon "different QSSR data" and the use (for the first time) of the Renormalization Group Invariant (RGI) scale independent quark masses in the analysis are emphasized. The estimates [rigourous model-independent upper bounds] reported in Table 2: f_D/f_π=1.56(5)[< 1.68(1)], f_B/f_π=1.58(5)[< 1.80(3)] and f_{D_s}/f_K= 1.58(4) [< 1.63(1)], f_{B_s}/f_K=1.50(3)[< 1.61(3.5)], improve previous QSSR estimates. The remarkable agreements with some of the experimental data on f_{D,D_s} and with lattice simulations within dynamical quarks confirm both the success of the QSSR semi-approximate approach based on the OPE in terms of the quark and gluon condensates and of the Minimal Duality Ansatz (MDA) for parametrizing the hadronic spectral function which we have tested from the complete data of the J/ψand Υsystems. The running quark masses m_c({m_c})=1286(66) MeV and m_b({m_b})= 4236(69) MeV from M_{D,B} are in good agreement though less accurate than the ones from recent J/ψand Υsum rules.

description: We discuss the discovery and characterization of the circumbinary planet Kepler-38b. The stellar binary is single-lined, with a period of 18.8 days, and consists of a moderately evolved main-sequence star (M_A = 0.949 +/- 0.059 solar masses and R_A = 1.757 +/- 0.034 solar radii) paired with a low-mass star (M_B = 0.249 +/- 0.010 solar masses and R_B = 0.2724 +/- 0.0053 solar radii) in a mildly eccentric (e=0.103) orbit. A total of eight transits due to a circumbinary planet crossing the primary star were identified in the Kepler light curve (using Kepler Quarters 1 through 11), from which a planetary period of 105.595 +/- 0.053 days can be established. A photometric dynamical model fit to the radial velocity curve and Kepler light curve yields a planetary radius of 4.35 +/- 0.11 Earth radii, or 1.12 +/- 0.03 Neptune radii. Since the planet is not sufficiently massive to observably alter the orbit of the binary from Keplerian motion, we can only place an upper limit on the mass of the planet of 122 Earth masses (7.11 Neptune masses or 0.384 Jupiter masses) at 95% confidence. This upper limit should decrease as more Kepler data become available.

Elucidating the Lasting Influence of Early Pubertal Timing on Disordered Eating Symptoms
Creators: name: Shope, Megan Marie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Objective: Extant data indicate that girls who mature earlier than their peers are at increased risk for disordered eating symptoms. Nonetheless, whether early pubertal timing exerts differential effects across key disordered eating symptoms (e.g., body weight/shape concerns vs. binge eating) and whether pubertal timing effects are present after the completion of puberty (i.e., in adulthood) remains relatively unclear. Additionally, leading theories posit that pubertal increases in adiposity and psychosocial factors (e.g., perceived pressures for thinness) likely underlie the predictive effects of earlier maturation on disordered eating risk, yet few studies have empirically tested this possibility. The current study aimed to address these gaps by examining: 1) associations between pubertal timing and several disordered eating symptoms in young adult women, and 2) testing whether such associations are mediated by leading physical and psychosocial factors.
Method: Participants included female college students from a large Southwestern university (N = 358). Age at onset of menses was used as the indicator of pubertal timing. Disordered eating symptoms were assessed with the Eating Pathology Symptoms Inventory (EPSI), Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), General Food Cravings Questionnaire  Trait Version (GFCQ-T), and Loss of Control Over Eating Scale (LOCES). Perceived pressures for thinness and internalization of the thin ideal body were assessed with the Sociocultural Attitudes Toward Appearance Questionnaire (SATAQ-4), and history of weight-based teasing was assessed with the Perceptions of Teasing Scale (POTS-5). Body Mass Index (BMI) was used as a marker of adiposity and was calculated from height and weight measurements.
Results: Earlier pubertal timing was associated with higher levels of body dissatisfaction and dysregulated eating symptoms (e.g., binge eating, loss of control over eating), but not dietary restraint, behavioral restricting, excessive exercise, or muscle building. Path analysis revealed that the link between pubertal timing and body dissatisfaction was mediated by BMI, whereas the effect of pubertal timing on dysregulated eating symptoms was not mediated by any of the theorized risk factors (i.e., BMI, weight-based teasing, perceived pressures for thinness, thin-ideal internalization).
Discussion: Findings highlight the importance of assessing multiple disordered eating constructs to detect differential effects of earlier pubertal timing on distinct disordered eating symptoms. Further, while early pubertal timing may impact risk for a range of symptoms, results suggest that early pubertal timing likely confers risk for various disordered eating symptoms (e.g., body dissatisfaction vs. dysregulated eating) through different etiologic pathways.

description: The present research looked at Indian adults and children’s pedagogical preferences based on the language of the speaker (i.e., Telugu, British-English, Indian-English) and whether the preferences for a language varied with the content of the learning (i.e., learning how to use a music instrument vs. a machine) and context of the learning (i.e., learning to score well on a test vs. learning for fun). In Study 1, adults chose which of two speakers they would want to learn from. There was an overall preference for Indian-English across all the trials. In addition, the type of information taught and the context of learning influenced adults’ pedagogical choices. While participants with Telugu as their native language still preferred Indian-English, Telugu was chosen over British-English in the context of learning for fun and learning about cultural instruments. In Study 2, we used the same procedure to examine 5-7-year-old children. Like adults, children exhibited an overall bias for Indian-English. Exploratory analyses revealed that children for whom Telugu was their native language, were more likely to select Telugu over English to learn about novel cultural objects and in the context of learning for fun. Although it is difficult to draw inferences from these trends (due to a small sample size), these results indicate that children may show a stronger native-language bias than adults. The results of this project provide new light into the development of linguistic bias in non-WEIRD populations. Overall, they show that both adults’ and children’s pedagogical preferences are influenced by the familiarity and status of others’ language and may vary depending on the content and context of learning.

description: The Crab Nebula has long been considered a standard candle in high energy astrophysics, but in recent years this assumption has been strongly contradicted in keV-GeV wavebands. In light of these developments, a search for variability is being performed on the nebula at Very High Energies (VHE; E>300 GeV), the preliminary results of which are presented here. This initial study is based on 10 years (2001-2011) of archival data from the Whipple 10 m telescope. The data set was searched for evidence of variability on the timescales of 1, 7, and 14 days. To date, no significant flaring activity has been found, but simulations are in progress to determine the level of variability that would be detected.

title: Removal of High and Low Levels of Ammonium from Industrial Wastewaters
Creators: name: Bock, Gregory
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Over 2×10^11 kilograms of ammonia are produced globally per year by the Haber-Bosch process which combines molecular hydrogen and nitrogen to synthesize ammonia. Most is used for fertilizer and agriculture while the remaining is used for other purposes including industrial processes and explosives. Explosives used in the mining industry are commonly ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3)-based. Excess ammonia and nitrate which can be dissolve into mine runoff water during blasting. Ammonia in mine and mineral wastewater can range from 20-110 mg/L. Ammonia is also present in several types of industrial wastewater such as caustic soda solutions used in the oil re-refining industry for removal of sulfur compounds from hydrocarbon streams. These waste streams are known as sulfidic caustic solution (SCS) or spent caustic.
This thesis concerns the treatment of ammonia in two distinct types of industrial wastewaters in order to meet specific discharge criteria. The first industrial wastewater is a low ammonia concentration WWTP effluent (2  6 mg/L TAN as N) from a gold mine in Alaska. The other is an extremely high (6000+ mg/L TAN as N) concentration sulfidic caustic solution from oil re-refining. It was hypothesized that that for the low concentration of ammonia mine water, which had low turbidity and relatively simple water chemistry, advanced separation technologies such as ion-exchange, zeolite and membrane filtration, and electrocoagulation would work well compared to alternative treatment options. For the highly complex matrix oil refining caustic solution, it was expected that a straightforward commonly used ammonia removal technology, such as breakpoint chlorination would work very well.
Laboratory column and batch testing using ion-exchange adsorption and chloramination were performed using actual waters contaminated with ammonia. For the low level mine water, several ion-exchange resins and zeolites were tested and compared based on the amount of water that could be treated per unit volume of resin. For the high concentration ammonia water linear regression relationships were determined which model the removal of ammonia as a function of the applied chlorine dose.
For the mine water with low levels ammonia it was found that the number of bed volumes in which ammonia was removed with BRZ increased with increasing EBCT and decreasing potassium concentration. It was also found that temperature of a 5 °C did not significantly impact the removal. For removal of ammonia from SCS solution, applied chlorine doses needed to remove ammonia were measured between 2.54 and 2.01 [Cl?]/[N]. In conclusion the results obtained from this investigation and implications described can be used to assist in the design of systems to remove of ammonia from wastewaters of similar characteristics.

description: Modeling of the self-consistent formation and evolution of disks as a result of prestellar core collapse reveals an intense early phase of recurrent gravitational instability and clump formation. These clumps generally migrate inward due to gravitational interaction with trailing spiral arms, and can be absorbed into the central object. However, in situations of multiple clump formation, gravitational scattering of clumps can result in the ejection of a low mass clump. These clumps can then give rise to free-floating low mass stars, brown dwarfs, or even giant planets. Detailed modeling of this process in the context of present-day star formation reveals that these clumps start out essentially as Larson first cores and grow subsequently by accretion. In the context of Pop III star formation, preliminary indications are that the disk clumps may also be of low mass. This mechanism of clump formation and possible ejection provides a channel for the formation of low mass objects in the first generation of stars.

description: La satisfacción de calidad es una necesidad creciente en los servicios de atención de salud permitiendo identificar las debilidades y fortalezas del sistema, además aplicar estrategias para aumentar la mejora continua con el plan de atención de cuidados de enfermería. El universo estuvo formado por pacientes internados en los meses diciembre 2018 y enero 2019 en el Servicio de Clínica Médica, del Hospital Dr. Andrés Isola. Siendo un total de 308, aplicando el criterio de exclusión en 68 pacientes, quedando solo 240 para el estudio. Objetivo: Conocer el grado de satisfacción que perciben los pacientes internados en el servicio de Clínica Médica brindada por el equipo de enfermería del Hospital Dr. Andrés Isola de Puerto Madryn en el periodo diciembre 2018 y enero 2019. Muestreo: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo de corte transversal, se utilizó una encuesta realizada por el investigador tipo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Recolección de datos: se utilizó un instrumento aplicado en “La satisfacción del paciente internado en el hospital de la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste “Argentina. Autores: Galeano-Furlan en el año 2016, el cual fue modificado y adaptado. Resultados: en la distribución total encuestada según edad, su mayoría abarca en un rango de 36 y más de 65 años. Según el sexo: un total de 144 masculinos. En cuanto a días de internación un 60% entre 5 a 10 días. En el nivel de instrucción un promedio de nivel Primario y Secundario Completo. En la Variable de Bienes Tangibles: en una pregunta percepción fue de 130 pacientes Poco Satisfecho, y en sus otras dos preguntas la percepción fue Muy Satisfactorio. En la Variable Empatía: la percepción fue entre Satisfactorio y Muy Satisfactorio. En la Variable Seguridad: fue entre Satisfactorio y Muy Satisfactorio. En cuanto a la Variable Confiabilidad: la percepción fue en su totalidad de Muy Satisfactorio. En la Variable Responsabilidad: la percepción coincidió en todas sus dimensiones con Muy Satisfactorio. Conclusión: El punto negativo seria de la variante Bienes Tangibles, ya que la infraestructura no está en el estado óptimo que se espera, debido a la deuda que el estado mantiene con el hospital y por ello la falta de pago afecta al personal de mantenimiento. Los demás resultados obtenidos demuestran que la atención de enfermería desarrollada las 24 horas, con 4 turnos continuos de 6 horas, en el Servicio de Clínica Médica del Hospital Dr. Andes Isola, de Puerto Madryn los pacientes se mostraron Muy Satisfechos. Cabe destacar que el trato del personal de enfermería fue humanizado dejando de lado sus carencias para dar una mejor calidad de atención al paciente y su entorno.

description: The (4k+2)-dimensional Kervaire manifold is a closed, piecewise linear (PL) manifold with Kervaire invariant 1 and the same homology as the product of two (2k+1)-dimensional spheres. We show that a finite group of odd order acts freely on a Kervaire manifold if and only if it acts freely on the corresponding product of spheres. If the Kervaire manifold M is smoothable, then each smooth structure on M admits a free smooth involution. If k + 1 is not a 2-power, then the Kervaire manifold in dimension 4k+2 does not admit any free TOP involutions. Free "exotic" (PL) involutions are constructed on the Kervaire manifolds of dimensions 30, 62, and 126. Each smooth structure on the 30-dimensional Kervaire manifold admits a free Z/2 x Z/2 action.

Vibration Isolation for Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2006
Subjects: Physics

description: The mechanical stability of an optical resonator in cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments
is crucial to establishing and maintaining strong coupling between an atom and the
electromagnetic field of a photon. Vibrational noise from seismic and acoustic sources inside
the laboratory is the largest impediment to the resonator's stability, and it is thus necessary
to deliberately isolate the cavity from vibration. Efforts have been underway to create a new
cavity QED experiment in the Kimble Group, with a major goal being to lower the background
pressure in the cavity's vacuum chamber by an order of magnitude. This requires
the design of a new vibration isolation system, comprising low outgassing elements bakeable
to high temperatures. This thesis describes two new designs for vibration isolation which
meet these requirements. One design, which employs blade springs similar to those found in
gravitational wave interferometers, regrettably could not completed in the timeframe of this
thesis. The other design utilizes a perfiuoroelastomer as its elastic element. It was tested
and shown perform as effectively as the previous vibration isolation system.

description: We find the conditions on compactifications of type IIA to four-dimensional Minkowski space to preserve N=2 supersymmetry in the language of Exceptional Generalized Geometry (EGG) and Generalized Complex Geometry (GCG). In EGG, off-shell N =2 supersymmetry requires the existence of a pair of SU(2)_R singlet and triplet algebraic structures on the exceptional generalized tangent space that encode all the scalars (NS-NS and R-R) in vector and hypermultiplets respectively. We show that on shell N=2 requires, except for a single component, these structures to be closed under a derivative twisted by the NS-NS and R-R fluxes. We also derive the corresponding GCG-type equations for the two pairs of pure spinors that build up these structures.

description: One can identify a tripartite classification of random matrix ensembles into geometrical universality classes corresponding to the plane, the sphere and the anti-sphere. The plane is identified with Ginibre-type (iid) matrices and the anti-sphere with truncations of unitary matrices. This paper focusses on an ensemble corresponding to the sphere: matrices of the form $\bY= \bA^{-1} \bB$, where $\bA$ and $\bB$ are independent $N\times N$ matrices with iid standard Gaussian real quaternion entries. By applying techniques similar to those used for the analogous complex and real spherical ensembles, the eigenvalue jpdf and correlation functions are calculated. This completes the exploration of spherical matrices using the traditional Dyson indices $β=1,2,4$. We find that the eigenvalue density (after stereographic projection onto the sphere) has a depletion of eigenvalues along a ring corresponding to the real axis, with reflective symmetry about this ring. However, in the limit of large matrix dimension, this eigenvalue density approaches that of the corresponding complex ensemble, a density which is uniform on the sphere. This result is in keeping with the spherical law (analogous to the circular law for iid matrices), which states that for matrices having the spherical structure $\bY= \bA^{-1} \bB$, where $\bA$ and $\bB$ are independent, iid matrices the (stereographically projected) eigenvalue density tends to uniformity on the sphere.

description: We analyze the structure of the so called non-signaling theories respecting relativistic causality but allowing correlations violating bounds imposed by quantum mechanics such as CHSH inequality. We discuss relations among such theories, quantum mechanics, and classical physics. In particular we reconstruct the probability theory adequate for the simplest instance of a non-signaling theory, the two non-signaling boxes world, and exhibit its differences in comparison with classical and quantum probabilities. We show that the question whether such a theory can be treated as a kind of "generalization" of the quantum theory of the two-qubit system cannot be answered positively. Some of its features put it closer to the quantum world, for example measurements must be destructive, on the other hand the Heisenberg uncertainty relations are not satisfied. Another interesting property contrasting it from quantum mechanics is that the subset of "classically correlated states," i.e.\ the states with only classical correlations, does not reproduce the classical world of two two-state systems. Our results establish a new link between quantum information theory and the well-developed theory of quantum logics and can shed new light on the problem why quantum mechanics is distinguished among non-signaling theories.
