Stoichiometric Determination Of Hydride Materials At Extreme Conditions, Gregory Alexander Smith
Stoichiometric Determination Of Hydride Materials At Extreme Conditions, Gregory Alexander Smith
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Hydrogen was predicted to be a high-temperature superconductor at near-megabar conditions in 1968,[1] but only recently was been experimentally observed.[2] This is due to the extraneous metrological constraint of requiring 5 megabars of pressure to stabilize. A more practical approach for synthesis of high-temperature superconductors has been pro-posed through the use of hydride compounds. Recently, a surge of rare earth hydrides have achieved critical superconducting transition temperatures (T_C ) close to room temperature.[3, 4, 5, 6] However, due to limitations of the necessary instrumentation to achieve megabar pressures, many techniques traditionally used to measure stoichiometry are unavailable.Three works presented in …
The Effects Of Habitat Isolation On Fine-Scale Genetic And Geographic Structure Of Populations Of Two Threatened Endemic Insects In Southern Nevada, Pseudocotalpa Giulianii And Icaricia Shasta Charlestonensis, Kristen Tovar
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Assessing the role geographic isolation and ecological specialization have on phylogeographic patterns contributes to our understanding of the evolutionary history of a species and the processes that erode genetic diversity. I used mitochondrial and nuclear genomic sequences to assess whether habitat isolation has shaped the fine-scale patterns of present-day genetic structure and diversity in two threatened insect species endemic to southern Nevada. Pseudocotalpa giulianii (Coleoptera; Scarabaeidae) is a dune obligate scarab beetle endemic to only two small, isolated sand dunes in Nye County, Nevada, with a usable habitat of less than 4.2 km sq that is impacted by on-going degradation. …
High Clearance Collision-Free Paths, Barun Thapa
High Clearance Collision-Free Paths, Barun Thapa
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Path Planning is one of the widely investigated research areas in computational geometry and robotics. Given a set of polygonal obstacles inside a rectangular box, and start & goal points, the path planning problem is to construct a collision-free path connecting the start point to the goal point. We review existing well known algorithms for solving the path planning problem. We propose new approaches for constructing a collision-free path with high clearance from obstacles. The main idea of the proposed algorithm is the appropriate generation free-region nodes which can be processed to construct high clearance paths. Neighbors of free-region nodes …

Information-Theoretic Model Diagnostics (Infomod), Armin Esmaeilzadeh
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Model validation is a critical step in the development, deployment, and governance of machine learning models. During the validation process, the predictive power of a model is measured on unseen datasets with a variety of metrics such as Accuracy and F1-Scores for classification tasks. Although the most used metrics are easy to implement and understand, they are aggregate measures over all the segments of heterogeneous datasets, and therefore, they do not identify the performance variation of a model among different data segments. The lack of insight into how the model performs over segments of unseen datasets has raised significant challenges …

Chapter 1 provides a broad overview of spring ecosystems and of each chapter included in this dissertation. Chapter 2 documents the first-ever, regional-scale survey of …
Solving Boundary Value And Initial Boundary Value Problems Of Partial Differential Equations Using Meshless Methods, Adam Johnson
Solving Boundary Value And Initial Boundary Value Problems Of Partial Differential Equations Using Meshless Methods, Adam Johnson
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
In this dissertation, the methods of fundamental solutions (MFS) and the methods of particular solutions (MPS) are used to solve the boundary value problems of the Poisson and Helmholtz equations, where the particular solutions of the Poisson and Helmholtz equations in [13, 14] are used. Then the initial boundary value problems of the diffusion and wave equations are discretized into a sequence of boundary value problems of the Helmholtz equation by using either the Laplace transform or time difference methods along the lines of [8]. The Helmholtz problems are solved consequently in an iterative manner which leads to the solution …

Critical Metals: From Granitic Pegmatites To The Anthropogenic Cycle, Dalton Mccaffrey
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Critical metals are vital to the functionality of the modern world. The increased diversity and usage intensity of these commodities in defense-related and strategic technologies (e.g., jet engines, rocket assemblies), modern infrastructure and products (e.g., high-strength steel, cellular phones, laptop computers), and energy-related, low-emissions technologies (e.g., nuclear reactors, solar panels, wind turbines, hybrid and electric vehicles) has drastically increased our reliance on critical metals and, thus, the United States (and global) exposure to supply restrictions. Granitic pegmatites are unique mineral deposits that represent a past, present and future resource for many (approximately half) of these critical resources. Even with the …

Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 or CIGS is a thin-film semiconductor that has shown a device efficiency of 23.35% and 24.2% for single-junction and perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells, respectively. CIGS offers promising properties such as tunable bandgap and ease of processing making them great candidates for thin-film tandem devices. However, knowledge of the effect of material defects, buffer materials, and post-deposition treatment (PDT) on degradation and metastability behavior in these devices is not well understood.In this dissertation, metastability and long-term degradation of CIGS thin-film solar cells have been investigated under combinatorial stress factors of heat, light, and voltage bias to systematically understand the effect …
A Generalized Family Of Exponentiated Composite Distributions With Applications To Insurance And Survival Data, Bowen Liu
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The concept of composite distributions was proposed in the early 2000s as a good parametric solution to model the data with heavy tails. Since the concept was proposed, it has been widely used in different areas, such as modeling insurance claim size data, predicting the risk measures in insurance data analysis, fitting survival time data, and modeling precipitation data. While a lot of the composite distributions demonstrated great performances in real applications, many commonly used composite distributions such as the inverse gamma-Pareto (IGP) or exponential-Pareto (EP), did not demonstrate great performances when fitting to several particular data sets. In order …

Investigating Haloacetonitrile (Han) Formation Potential From Nitrogenous Antibiotics And Agrochemicals, Kazi Shafayet Haider
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
Disinfection can promote safe drinking water. Chlorine and chloramines are the two most used disinfectants. While these disinfectants are effective in inactivating disease-causing pathogens, they also produce hazardous byproducts when they react with organic compounds (precursors). Nitrogenous disinfection byproducts (N-DBPs) are more toxic than their counterparts. The increased use of nitrogen-based agrochemicals and antibitics has led to their detection in different water sources. The presence of secondary amine and aniline in these compounds can act as a source of reactive nitrogen to form N-DBPs. In addition, the increased concentration of bromide in water systems due to anthropogenic activities can enhance …

The Analysis Of Radio And X-Ray Energetics Of Fast Radio Bursts, Emily Huerta
Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters
Here, we analyze the graphs and figures presented in Laha et al. (2022) and compare their slopes to our figures. Laha et al. (2022) includes two graphs, one that shows a comparison between radio fluence vs. x-ray fluence and radio energy vs. x-ray energy. In these graphs, the slopes are anywhere from 3.3e-14 to 2e-5, which are much less than unity. Our figures are consistent with these values, also providing slopes anywhere between the same range. Strong limits on this ratio between radio and x-ray energetics can either support the magnetar progenitor model, or completely dismiss it. Since we found …

Trapping And Cooling Of Ca+ For Cold Ion-Radical Collisions, Bernardo Gutierrez
Undergraduate Research Symposium Posters
Free radicals are molecules that contain an unpaired valence electron which induces high reactivity. Ion radical reactions are typically exothermic and have low (or zero) activation energy. It is for these reasons that ion-radical reactions are believed to dominate in interstellar clouds where temperatures hover around 3-10K. State-to-state measurements require precision control of both reactants.

Identification Of Factors Contributing To Traffic Crashes By Analysis Of Text Narratives, Cristian D. Arteaga-Sanchez
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The fatalities, injuries, and property damage that result from traffic crashes impose a significant burden on society. Current research and practice in traffic safety rely on analysis of quantitative data from crash reports to understand crash severity contributors and develop countermeasures. Despite advances from this effort, quantitative crash data suffers from drawbacks, such as the limited ability to capture all the information relevant to the crashes and the potential errors introduced during data collection. Crash narratives can help address these limitations, as they contain detailed descriptions of the context and sequence of events of the crash. However, the unstructured nature …
