description: Local low metallicity galaxies with signatures of possible accretion activity are ideal laboratories in which to search for the lowest mass black holes and study their impact on the host galaxy. Here we present the first JWST NIRSpec IFS observations of SDSS J120122.30+021108.3, a nearby ($z=0.00354$) extremely metal poor dwarf galaxy with no optical signatures of accretion activity but identified by WISE to have extremely red mid-infrared colors consistent with AGNs. We identify over one hundred lines between $\sim$ 1.7-5.2 microns, an unresolved nuclear continuum source with an extremely steep spectral slope consistent with hot dust from an AGN ($F_\nu \approx\nu^{-1.5}$), and a plethora of H I, He I, and H$_2$ lines, with no lines from heavier elements, CO or ice absorption features, or PAHs.Our observations reveal that the red WISE source arises exclusively from a bright central unresolved source ($<$ 3pc) suggestive of an AGN, yet there are no He II lines or coronal lines identified in the spectrum, and, importantly, there is no evidence that the radiation field is harder in the nuclear source compared with surrounding regions. These observations can be explained with a young ($<$ 5 Myr) nuclear star cluster with stellar mass $\sim3\times 10^4$ M$_\odot$ and a deeply embedded AGN with bolometric luminosity $\sim$ $2\times10^{41}$ ergs $^{-1}$. The implied black hole mass is $\sim$ 1450 M$_\odot$, based on the Eddington limit, roughly consistent with that expected based on extrapolations of black hole galaxy scaling relations derived for more massive black holes. Longer wavelength observations are crucial to confirm this scenario.

description: We report the development and application of an antibody-based nanoprobe for in situ measurements within a single cell. The nanoprobe has an antibody-based probe targeted to benzopyrene tetrol (BPT), a metabolite of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and the BaP-DNA adduct. Detection of BPT is of biomedical interest since this species can potentially serve as a biomarker for the monitoring of DNA damage due to BaP exposure and for possible pre-cancer diagnoses. The measurements were performed on the rat liver epithelial Clone 9 cell line, which was used as the model cell system. Nanoprobes were inserted into individual cells, incubated five minutes to allow antigen-antibody binding, and then removed for fluorescence detection. Prior to measurements, the cells had been treated with BPT. A concentration of 9.6 +/- 0.2 x 10-11 M has been determined for BPT in the individual cells investigated. The results demonstrate the possibility of in situ measurements inside a single cell using an antibody-based nanoprobe.

description: We analyze the velocity dispersions of individual HI and CO profiles in a number of nearby galaxies from the high-resolution HERACLES CO and THINGS HI surveys. Focusing on regions with bright CO emission, we find a CO dispersion value: 7.3 $\pm$ 1.7 km/s. The corresponding HI dispersion is 11.7 $\pm$ 2.3 km/s, yielding a mean HI/CO dispersion ratio of 1.4 $\pm$ 0.2, independent of radius. We find that the CO velocity dispersion increases towards lower peak fluxes. This is consistent with previous work where we showed that when using spectra averaged ("stacked") over large areas, larger values for the CO dispersion are found, and a lower dispersion ratio: 1.0 $\pm$ 0.2. The stacking method is more sensitive to low-level diffuse emission, whereas individual profiles trace narrow-line, GMC-dominated, bright emission. These results provide further evidence that disk galaxies contain not only a thin, low velocity dispersion, high density CO disk that is dominated by GMCs, but also a fainter, higher dispersion, diffuse disk component.

description: International Symposium on Biomedical Optics, 2002, San Jose, CA, United States
description: We report the development of a multispectral imaging (MSI) device for medical diagnostic applications. The MSI device uses an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) for wavelength selection and a two-dimensional charge-coupled device (CCD) for detection. Unlike a tunable grating or prism-based monochromator, the tunable filter has no moving parts, and can be rapidly tuned to any wavelength within its operating range. The large aperture of the AOTF and its high spatial resolution allows the optical image from an imaging fiber optic probe (IFP) to be recorded by the CCD. These characteristics, combined with their small size, make AOTFs important new alternatives to conventional monochromators, especially for spectral imaging in biomedical applications. Several applications of biomedical interest (fluorescence imaging, brain tissue imaging, etc.) are described to illustrate the usefulness of the MSI system.

description: This paper studies a one-sector optimal growth model with i.i.d. productivity shocks that are allowed to be unbounded. The utility function is assumed to be non-negative and unbounded from above. The novel feature in our framework is that the agent has risk sensitive preferences in the sense of Hansen and Sargent (1995). Under mild assumptions imposed on the productivity and utility functions we prove that the maximal discounted non-expected utility in the infinite time horizon satisfies the optimality equation and the agent possesses a stationary optimal policy. A new point used in our analysis is an inequality for the so-called associated random variables. We also establish the Euler equation that incorporates the solution to the optimality equation.

DNA Methylation of the Interferon-gamma Promoter in Association with Overexpression of the Interferon-gamma Gene in Periodontal Disease
Creators: name: Crivello, Antonino
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The pathogenesis of periodontitis at the biofilm-gingival interface is modulated by a cascade of innate immune mechanisms that create a cytokine network. The dental biofilm and resultant inflammatory response have the capacity to alter the host DNA chromosomal structure through epigenetic mechanisms. The major epigenetic modification in humans is DNA methylation. These modifications have the potential to permanently alter the local gene expression by inducing tissue localized epigenetic changes that can persist within cell lineages and represent a permanently altered gene expression pattern that can affect the metabolism of the tissues and the inflammatory response. The pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is an important regulator of the innate immune response to oral pathogens. The objective of this study was to compare the level of DNA methylation at the IFN-γ promoter between healthy and inflamed gingival tissues and correlate those findings with IFN-γ expression levels.

Evaluation of this instrument for the monitoring of environmentally important species will be discussed as well as its ability to be operated in room light without significantly increasing the background signal. In addition, we will also describe a baseline removal procedure based on second derivative approach that simplifies and increases the accuracy of the instrument' s automated identification algorithm
Mutual distance dependence drives the observed jet power - radio luminosity scaling relations in radio galaxies

description: The kinetic power of radio jets is a quantity of fundamental importance to studies of the AGN feedback process and radio galaxy physics. A widely used proxy for jet power is the extended radio luminosity. A number of empirical methods have been used to calibrate a scaling relationship between jet power (Q) and radio luminosity (L) of the form log(Q) = beta_L * log(L) + C. The regression slope has typically been found to be beta_L ~ 0.7 - 0.8. Here we show that the previously reported scaling relations are strongly affected by the confounding variable, distance. We find that in a sample of FRI X-ray cavity systems, after accounting for the mutual distance dependence, the jet power and radio luminosity are only weakly correlated, with slope beta_L ~ 0.3: significantly flatter than previously reported. We also find that in previously used samples of high-power sources, no evidence for an intrinsic correlation is present when the effect of distance is accounted for. Using a simple model we show that beta_L is expected to be significantly lower in samples of FRI radio galaxies than it is for FRIIs, due to the differing dynamics for these two classes of radio source. For FRI X-ray cavity systems the model predicts beta_L (FRI) ~ 0.5 in contrast to FRII radio galaxies, for which beta_L(FRII) ~ 0.8. We discuss the implications of our finding for studies of radio mode feedback, and radio galaxy physics.

description: We report for the first time, the development of a 3D optical random access memory material for neutron dosimetry. Detection of energetic neutrons is important in many applications, spanning from radioactive waste monitoring to space exploration. These anthracene-based photochromic dosimeters show a decrease in fluorescence intensity following exposure to energetic neutrons. Unlike current neutron dosimeters, where foreknowledge of the neutron energy is necessary to determine an exposure dose, these materials can be used in unknown environments (e.g. space exploration). A readout system has also been developed to determine the radiation characteristics (e.g. neutron energy) necessary for estimating dose. The results presented in this work, demonstrate the potential of these novel materials for space exploration and other applications where foreknowledge of neutron energy is unknown and current dosimeters are incapable of providing accurate dose information.

description: Context. Observations of many active regions show a slow systematic outflow/upflow from their edges lasting from hours to days. At present no physical explanation has been proven, while several suggestions have been put forward. Aims. This paper investigates one possible method for maintaining these upflows assuming that convective motions drive the magnetic field to initiate them through magnetic reconnection. Methods. We use Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) data to provide an initial potential three dimensional magnetic field of the active region NOAA 11123 on 2010 November 13 where the characteristic upflow velocities are observed. A simple one-dimensional hydrostatic atmospheric model covering the region from the photosphere to the corona is derived. Local Correlation Tracking of the magnetic features in the HMI data is used to derive a proxy for the time dependent velocity field. The time dependent evolution of the system is solved using a resistive three-dimensional MagnetoHydro-Dynamic code. Results. The magnetic field contains several null points located well above the photosphere, with their fan planes dividing the magnetic field into independent open and closed flux domains. The stressing of the interfaces between the different flux domains is expected to provide locations where magnetic reconnection can take place and drive systematic flows. In this case, the region between the closed and open flux is identified as the region where observations find the systematic upflows. Conclusions. In the present experiment, the driving only initiates magneto-acoustic waves, without driving any systematic upflows at any of the flux interfaces.

Thermal characterization of modified uni-traveling carrier photodetectors: insights into temperature-dependent performance metrics

name: Menyuk, Curtis
Publisher: name: SPIE
Year: 2024
Subjects: UMBC Optical Fiber Communications Laboratory

description: We present an approximation method to compute the temperature distribution in photodetectors under steady-state optical excitation. The derived temperature profile assesses the impact on performance metrics like quantum efficiency, bandwidth, and phase noise. Our numerical study reveals that assuming constant room temperature leads to overestimated output current and quantum efficiency and underestimated bandwidth. In contrast, a varying temperature model closely aligns with experimental values. InGaAs’s low thermal conductivity impedes heat dissipation, leading to temperature accumulation. Changing optical excitation while maintaining constant output current results in nonlinear changes in bandwidth, phase noise, and quantum efficiency. These findings aid in understanding and optimizing thermal management in photodetectors under strong optical excitations.
Destabilizing the Lincoln Memorial Concert: A Look at the Career of Marian Anderson

Year: 2017

description: This thesis will re-contextualize the Lincoln Memorial Concert within Marian Anderson’s performing career between 1935–1950 to illustrate her navigation of public and critical reception of her public image, musical talent, and political engagement in American society. A critical understanding of the social and political balancing required of Anderson as a black female classical vocalist will be achieved through discussion and analysis of correspondence between Anderson and her management, filmed performances, and critique of the prominent historical positioning of the Lincoln Memorial Concert. While the length of this thesis will not allow for extensive treatment, it is intended to precipitate new approaches to historical, cultural, and musical studies of Anderson’s life and career that destabilize the authority of the Lincoln Memorial performance and engage with her extensive performing career pre – and post – 1939.

The formulation also enables the calculation of advanced photodetector parameters such as phase noise and bandwidth.

description: One of the limitations of electrospun collagen as bone-like fibrous structure is the potential collagen triple helix denaturation in the fibre state and the corresponding inadequate wet stability even after crosslinking. Here, we have demonstrated the feasibility of accomplishing wet-stable fibres by wet spinning and diacid-based crosslinking of collagen triple helices, whereby fibre ability to act as bone-mimicking mineralisation system has also been explored. Circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated nearly complete triple helix retention in resulting wet-spun fibres, and the corresponding chemically crosslinked fibres successfully preserved their fibrous morphology following 1-week incubation in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The presented novel diacid-based crosslinking route imparted superior tensile modulus and strength to the resulting fibres indicating that covalent functionalization of distant collagen molecules is unlikely to be accomplished by current state-of-the-art carbodiimide-based crosslinking. To mimic the constituents of natural bone extra cellular matrix (ECM), the crosslinked fibres were coated with carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA) through biomimetic precipitation, resulting in an attractive biomaterial for guided bone regeneration (GBR), e.g. in bony defects of the maxillofacial region.

The Europeanization of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Creators: name: Ritter, Caleb Thomas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The main forces shaping Bosnian domestic politics today are the Office of High Representative (OHR), the national level political parties, the sub-national actors, and the Bosnian people themselves. The question this thesis seeks to answer is where, to what extent and why has Europeanization succeeded or failed on Bosnia's path towards EU membership? To do this we will evaluate the influence Europeanization has had on the domestic decision making process and the institutional structures within the four levels of governance mentioned above. The following examination of the domestic actors in Bosnia through the lens of Europeanization is done in an attempt to highlight the success and failures of each individual group. I argue that two of these main actors, the Office of High Representative and the nationalistic political parties, have stifled the process of Europeanization. However, progress has been made by the sub-national actors in initiating the process of Europeanization and that the conditions exist in which a positive discourse could have a substantial impact influencing the citizens of Bosnia.

description: We have developed a passive 350 GHz (850 μm) video-camera to demonstrate lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) -- designed originally for far-infrared astronomy -- as an option for general purpose terrestrial terahertz imaging applications. The camera currently operates at a quasi-video frame rate of 2 Hz with a noise equivalent temperature difference per frame of $\sim$0.1 K, which is close to the background limit. The 152 element superconducting LEKID array is fabricated from a simple 40 nm aluminum film on a silicon dielectric substrate and is read out through a single microwave feedline with a cryogenic low noise amplifier and room temperature frequency domain multiplexing electronics.

Phase transitions in optimal search times: how random walkers should combine resetting and flight scales

description: Recent works have explored the properties of Lévy flights with resetting in one-dimensional domains and have reported the existence of phase transitions in the phase space of parameters which minimizes the Mean First Passage Time (MFPT) through the origin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 220602 (2014)]. Here we show how actually an interesting dynamics, including also phase transitions for the minimization of the MFPT, can also be obtained without invoking the use of Lévy statistics but for the simpler case of random walks with exponentially distributed flights of constant speed. We explore this dynamics both in the case of finite and infinite domains, and for different implementations of the resetting mechanism to show that different ways to introduce resetting consistently lead to a quite similar dynamics. The use of exponential flights has the strong advantage that exact solutions can be obtained easily for the MFPT through the origin, so a complete analytical characterization of the system dynamics can be provided. Furthermore, we discuss in detail how the phase transitions observed in random walks with resetting are closely related to several ideas recurrently used in the field of random search theory, in particular to other mechanisms proposed to understand random search in space as mortal random-walks or multi-scale random-walks. As a whole we corroborate that one of the essential ingredients behind MFPT minimization lies in the combination of multiple movement scales (whatever its origin).

Resolution enhancement with machine learning
Creators: name: Simsek, Ergun

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: This numerical study uses machine learning techniques to enhance the resolution of local near-field probing measurements when the probe is larger than the examined device. The research shows that machine learning can achieve a spatial resolution of ?/10 with a few wavelength-wide probes while keeping the relative error below 3%. It also finds that fully connected neural networks outperform linear regression with limited training data, but linear regression is both sufficient and efficient for larger data sets. These results suggest that similar machine learning methods can improve the resolution of various experimental measurements.
Discovery of polarized line emission in SN1006

description: Laming (1990) predicted that the narrow Balmer line core of the ~3000 km/s shock in the SN 1006 remnant would be significantly polarized due to electron and proton impact polarization. Here, based on deep spectrally resolved polarimetry obtained with the European Southern Observatory (ESO)'s Very Large Telescope (VLT), we report the discovery of polarized line emission of polarization degree approx 1.3 percent with position angle orthogonal to the SNR filament. Correcting for an unpolarized broad line component, the implied narrow line polarization is approx 2.0 percent, close to the predictions of Laming (1990). The predicted polarization is primarily sensitive to shock velocity and post-shock temperature equilibration. By measuring polarization for the SN1006 remnant, we validate and enable a new diagnostic that has important applications in a wide variety of astrophysical situations, such as shocks, intense radiation fields, high energy particle streams and conductive interfaces.

A Decoupage of Violence: The Harmonization of Collective Violence Theories
Creators: name: Gerring, Jeffrey Alan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Multiple theories have been put forth attempting to explain why collective violence occurs in certain transitioning states and why it doesn't in others. To date, these theories have adequately explained why collective violence occurs in individual test cases, but have failed to provide a model that can be broadly applied to a variety of cases and to predict the probability of violence therein. In this thesis I review current theories and combine different aspects of them in order to present a new hybrid theoretical model of predicting the probability of collective violence in states that are transitioning to Democracy. Each transitioning state will present its own set of unique challenges, but by understanding the basic framework and identifying common trends, it is possible to develop a loose model that will identify whether a state is at a high or low risk for collective violence. By blending positive aspects of multiple specific theories, I will present a new compound model based on existing theories that will aid in identifying potential collective violence in the future, and hopefully assist in preventing it.
A compact numerical model for photodetectors made from two-dimensional materials

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: This work presents a numerical investigation into the performance metrics of photodetectors made from monolayer MoS2, a two-dimensional material with unique optoelectronic properties. The study introduces a one-dimensional drift-diffusion framework and wave propagation in layered media analysis. Results demonstrate a peak quantum efficiency at 561 nm, influenced by the substrate. The precision of the model validates its utility for characterizing MoS2 photodetectors, emphasizing the importance of background inclusion in calculations. The efficiency of the computation makes the model suitable for in-depth device analyses and device design via numerical optimization.

description: Precisely measured electron-proton elastic scattering cross sections [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 105}, 242002 (2010)] are reanalyzed to evaluate their strength for determining the rms charge radius ($R_{\rm E}$) of the proton. More than half of the cross sections at lowest $Q^2$ are fit using two single-parameter form-factor models, with the first based on a dipole parametrization, and the second on a linear fit to a conformal-mapping variable. These low-$Q^2$ fits extrapolate the slope of the form factor to $Q^2$=0 and determine $R_{\rm E}$ values of approximately 0.84 and 0.89~fm, respectively. Fits spanning all $Q^2$, in which the single constants are replaced with cubic splines at larger $Q^2$, lead to similar results for $R_{\rm E}$. We conclude that the scattering data is consistent with $R_{\rm E}$ ranging from at least 0.84 to 0.89~fm, and therefore cannot resolve the discrepancy between determinations of $R_{\rm E}$ made using muonic and electronic hydrogen-atom spectroscopy.
