Dr. Nitz retired in June 1971. He passed away during 1996. “After his retirement in 1971, Nitz enjoyed photography and other special hobbies. Through a bequest, Nitz endowed a scholarship fund to be known as the ‘Olive and Otto Nitz Endowed Scholarship Fund’ in the amount of $28,000. The first scholarship will be awarded in 1997.” (Stout Alumnus, Fall 1996). As of Fall 2019, there is still a College of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Management (CSTEMM) Scholarship named for Otto Nitz for an Applied Science Major with a 3.0 GPA.This collection includes research records, instructional materials, and correspondence from Dr. Otto W. Nitz covering topics in chemistry

Towards a new standard in slug species descriptions: The case of Limax sarnensis Heim & Nitz n. sp (Pulmonata: Limacidae) from the Western Central Alps.
No full textThe terrestrial slug Limax sarnensis Heim & Nitz new species is described from morphological and molecular characters, based on 298 specimens from 64 localities. Detailed descriptions of coloration, reproductive anatomy, distribution and ecology are provided. The new species differs from all other sympatric congeners by a diagnostic combination of characters: variable coloration of body with unicoloured mantle; outer fields of tripartite sole light grey to nearly black, fading from posterior to anterior and from outer edges to unpigmented middle field; penis dimension in preserved specimens about one-third to half of body length; penis interior with small transverse riblets, one longitudinal interior crest, a transverse penial crest and one longitudinal interior cord; copulates on a slime thread. It is restricted to inner alpine habitats in Switzerland and northern Italy. Phylogenetic analysis of 47 Limax specimens and outgroups using 1317 nucleotides of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene supports the recognition of L. sarnensis as a new species. Limax alpinus Ferussac, 1822, becomes a junior synonym of Limax cinereoniger Wolf, 1803, by the designation of a neotype. Genotypic and phenotypic data are concordant with copulation (behavioural observations). The combination of morphological, genetic, ecological and behavioural data should set a new standard in slug species description
Boosting the sensitivity of continuous gravitational waves all-sky searches using advanced filtering techniques
No full textThe work presented in this PhD thesis has been done in the context of gravitational-waves searches. Since the first detection on the 14th September 2015 by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration, a growing number of gravitational-wave events has been detected, all emitted by the coalescence of binary systems involving black holes and/or neutron stars. My work is focused on the search for continuous gravitational waves, which still miss the first detection. These signals are expected to be emitted, for instance, by spinning neutron stars with an asymmetric shape with respect to the rotation axis, and are at least five orders of magnitude weaker than the typical amplitude of detected binary coalescences. In this PhD thesis I report on the work done in four different projects, with the common purpose of increasing the sensitivity of continuous-wave searches, involving both data analysis and instrumental aspects. The first project is a contribution to the commissioning of the Virgo interferometer in view of the next observing run, O4, which will start in May 2023. My contribution has been mainly devoted to the noise hunting activity, focused on the identification and mitigation of instrumental-noise sources that can degrade the sensitivity of continuous-wave searches.
The other three projects are related to data analysis. I have focused, in particular, on all-sky searches for sources without electromagnetic counterpart and long-lasting signals from rapidly evolving newly-born neutron stars. I have studied in great detail the robustness of an all-sky data analysis method in the case of overlapping signals. This is relevant for some exotic classes of continuous wave sources and, more generally, in view of third generation detectors, like Einstein Telescope. I have developed a two-dimensional filter, called triangular filter, to be applied to the search for long-lasting gravitational waves from unstable neutron stars, showing that thanks to this method an increase of the search sensitivity of about is achievable. Finally, I describe the first steps of a wide work to develop a new procedure for all-sky continuous-wave searches, exploiting a statistics based on the sidereal modulation, that affects astrophysical signals, due to the Earth rotation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
