description: Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) observed by the MESSENGER (MES) and Venus Express (VEX) spacecraft have been catalogued and analysed. The ICMEs were identified by a relatively smooth rotation of the magnetic field direction consistent with a flux rope structure, coinciding with a relatively enhanced magnetic field strength. A total of 35 ICMEs were found in the surveyed MES data (primarily from March 2007 to April 2012), and 84 ICMEs in the surveyed VEX data (from May 2006 to December 2013). The ICME flux rope configurations have been determined. Ropes with northward leading edges were about four times more common than ropes with southward leading edges, in agreement with a previously established solar cycle dependence. Ropes with low inclinations to the solar equatorial plane were about four times more common than ropes with high inclinations, possibly an observational effect. Left and right-handed ropes were observed in almost equal numbers. In addition, data from MES, VEX, STEREO-A, STEREO-B and ACE were examined for multipoint signatures of the catalogued ICMEs. For spacecraft separations below 15° in heliocentric longitude, the second spacecraft observed the ICME flux rope in 82% of cases; this percentage dropped to 49% for separations between 15 and 30°, to 18% for separations between 30 and 45°, and to 12% for separations between 45 and 60°. As spacecraft separation increased, it became increasingly likely that only the sheath and not the flux rope of the ICME was observed, in agreement with the notion that ICME flux ropes are smaller in longitudinal extent than the shocks or discontinuities that they often drive. Furthermore, this study has identified 23 ICMEs observed by pairs of spacecraft close to radial alignment. A detailed analysis of these events could lead to a better understanding of how ICMEs evolve during propagation.

title: Bilingualism : the two languages of young people in care
Creators: name: Snow, Kim
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2006

description: Institutions create their own languages, which become embedded in everyday experience (van Dijk, 1995). In order to function successfully, those in the subordinate position in the institution must learn the language of the institution. Residential child care is one such institution. Institutions and institutional language can be understood on the micro scale of a foster home or a group home or on the macro level of societal relations (Smith, 1999). Those in a less powerful position (i.e. young people in residential care) have no choice but to learn the language of the more powerful (Freire, 1985). Those in a position of authority (i.e. staff within the institutions) could choose to learn the language of the young people who occupy as less powerful position; however, they have no need to do so. Many examples of this can be cited, such as those of bilingual French Canadians as compared to unilingual English Canadians, bilingual Palestinians living in Israel as compared to unilingual Israelis, or even children in care as compared to the professionals in the system which cares for them.

The North Carolina Medicaid program: participation and perceptions among practicing orthodontists
Creators: name: Im, Jannie Lee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Limited provider participation in the Medicaid program is a barrier to access to orthodontic care for Medicaid-eligible patients. Questionnaires were mailed to all active orthodontists (n=203) reported by the NC Health Professions Data System. Respondents were categorized as current Medicaid providers, past Medicaid providers, or orthodontists who have never accepted Medicaid. Of the 166 respondents, 24% were current Medicaid providers, 20% past providers, and 56% never accepted Medicaid patients. Provider and practice characteristics of the three groups were similar. All three groups reported low fee reimbursement as a major problem. Those who have never participated in the Medicaid program were more likely to perceive program issues and patient behaviors as major problems than current or past providers. Past providers perceived broken appointments and tardiness to appointments as more of a problem than current providers. Perceptions of Medicaid patients and lack of knowledge appear to be major barriers to provider participation.
Networks and Innovation Capacity: Assessing the role of social relations and structure in technology adoption and adaptation for teaching in Nigeria, Kenya and the Republic of Benin

description: This study contributes to a better understanding of how the network perspective to innovation presents a relevant framework for explaining the adoption of innovation in developing countries. The examination of the phenomenon was done by focusing on the education sector and the case of science teachers in Nigeria, Kenya and the Republic of Benin. The four-phased longitudinal study assessed the influence of social elations and structure on the decision to adopt or reject the Go-lab Ecosystem (a digital STEM Laboratory) and Inquiry-based Learning by the science teachers. The theoretical framework for the study emanates from the intersection of three concepts which are grounded in the innovation systems theory; Technology Innovation System (TIS), Sectoral Innovation System (SIS), and Regional Innovation System (RIS). This study used a mixed-method approach to explore network constructs that are important for analysing how social structure and relations influence the adoption of innovation. The method allowed for the assessment of relational and structural network data, time of adoption and usage patterns in explaining how the pattern of interactions and structural characteristics of the social system in the 9 participating schools influence the decision of the 38 STEM teachers to accept or reject the innovation. The approach revealed how a set of prior conditions including perceived newness and innovativeness of the innovation, and previous practice influenced the adoption process. One of the significant contributions of this study is the manifestation of the network perspective through the innovation ecosystem concept. The framework presents a path to assessing how interactions among actors in a network are coordinated and the contribution of informal actors to the value exchange and creation within the network. In addition, this focus on network dynamics allows for assessing how practices and institutions are formed or shaped, thereby providing a more relevant framework for assessing innovation capacity.

description: With an expected energy of 7.6(5) eV, $^{229}$Th possesses the lowest excited nuclear state in the landscape of all presently known nuclei. The energy corresponds to a wavelength of about 160 nm and would conceptually allow for an optical laser excitation of a nuclear transition. We report on a VUV optical detection system that was designed for the direct detection of the isomeric ground-state transition of $^{229}$Th. $^{229(m)}$Th ions originating from a $^{233}$U $α$-recoil source are collected on a micro electrode that is placed in the focus of an annular parabolic mirror. The latter is used to parallelize the UV fluorescence that may emerge from the isomeric ground-state transition of $^{229}$Th. The parallelized light is then focused by a second annular parabolic mirror onto a CsI-coated position-sensitive MCP detector behind the mirror exit. To achieve a high signal-to-background ratio, a small spot size on the MCP detector needs to be achieved. Besides extensive ray-tracing simulations of the optical setup, we present a procedure for its alignment, as well as test measurements using a D$_2$ lamp, where a focal-spot size of $\approx$100 $μ$m has been achieved. Assuming a purely photonic decay, a signal-to-background ratio of $\approx$7000:1 could be achieved.

Keeping up with the times: are the sports sections of newspapers adapting to a changing media environment?
Creators: name: Helm, Theo R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This thesis used content analysis to determine if four North Carolina newspapers and three national newspapers changed the content of the front pages of their sports pages between 1995 and 2005 to compete with challenges coming from cable television and the Internet. If recaps of the day's events are available instantaneously on cable television and the Internet, newspapers may adjust their niche by relying more on feature/analysis stores, local stories, local writers and more visual aids. The research found that newspapers are not changing their niche in response to emerging media. Only one newspaper made statistically significant changes in publishing more feature/analysis stories and fewer recap stories in the time span. Only one newspaper made statistically significant changes in the location of stories it published. No newspapers made statistically significant changes in the type of authors they published, but most increased their use of either photos or graphics.
Signal Processing and Electronic Noise in LZ

description: The electronics of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, the 10-tonne dark matter detector to be installed at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), consists of low-noise dual-gain amplifiers and a 100-MHz, 14-bit data acquisition system for the TPC PMTs. Pre-prototypes of the analog amplifiers and the 32-channel digitizers were tested extensively with simulated pulses that are similar to the prompt scintillation light and the electroluminescence signals expected in LZ. These studies are used to characterize the noise and to measure the linearity of the system. By increasing the amplitude of the test signals, the effect of saturating the amplifier and the digitizers was studied. The RMS ADC noise of the digitizer channels was measured to be 1.19 $\pm$ 0.01 ADCC. When a high-energy channel of the amplifier is connected to the digitizer, the measured noise remained virtually unchanged, while the noise added by a low-energy channel was estimated to be 0.38 $\pm$ 0.02 ADCC (46 $\pm$ 2$μ$V). A test facility is under construction to study saturation, mitigate noise and measure the performance of the LZ electronics and data acquisition chain.

description: Indoor localization in multi-floor buildings is an important research problem. Finding the correct floor, in a fast and efficient manner, in a shopping mall or an unknown university building can save the users' search time and can enable a myriad of Location Based Services in the future. One of the most widely spread techniques for floor estimation in multi-floor buildings is the fingerprinting-based localization using Received Signal Strength (RSS) measurements coming from indoor networks, such as WLAN and BLE. The clear advantage of RSS-based floor estimation is its ease of implementation on a multitude of mobile devices at the Application Programming Interface (API) level, because RSS values are directly accessible through API interface. However, the downside of a fingerprinting approach, especially for large-scale floor estimation and positioning solutions, is their need to store and transmit a huge amount of fingerprinting data. The problem becomes more severe when the localization is intended to be done on mobile devices which have limited memory, power, and computational resources. An alternative floor estimation method, which has lower complexity and is faster than the fingerprinting is the Weighted Centroid Localization (WCL) method. The trade-off is however paid in terms of a lower accuracy than the one obtained with traditional fingerprinting with Nearest Neighbour (NN) estimates. In this paper a novel K-means-based method for floor estimation via fingerprint clustering of WiFi and various other positioning sensor outputs is introduced. Our method achieves a floor estimation accuracy close to the one with NN fingerprinting, while significantly improves the complexity and the speed of the floor detection algorithm. The decrease in the database size is achieved through storing and transmitting only the cluster heads (CH's) and their corresponding floor labels.

description: We present an all-sky sample of ~ 1.4 million AGNs meeting a two color infrared photometric selection criteria for AGNs as applied to sources from the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer final catalog release (AllWISE). We assess the spatial distribution and optical properties of our sample and find that the results are consistent with expectations for AGNs. These sources have a mean density of ~ 38 AGNs per square degree on the sky, and their apparent magnitude distribution peaks at g ~ 20, extending to objects as faint as g ~ 26. We test the AGN selection criteria against a large sample of optically-identified stars and determine the "leakage" (that is, the probability that a star detected in an optical survey will be misidentified as a QSO in our sample) rate to be < 4.0 x 10^-5. We conclude that our sample contains almost no optically-identified stars (< 0.041%), making this sample highly promising for future celestial reference frame work by significantly increasing the number of all-sky, compact extragalactic objects. We further compare our sample to catalogs of known AGNs/QSOs and find a completeness value of > 84% (that is, the probability of correctly identifying a known AGN/QSO is at least 84%) for AGNs brighter than a limiting magnitude of R < 19. Our sample includes approximately 1.1 million previously uncatalogued AGNs.

THE QUALITY OF FIXED PROSTHODONTIC IMPRESSIONS: AN ASSESSMENT OF CROWN AND BRIDGE IMPRESSIONS RECEIVED AT COMMERCIAL LABORATORIES

Subjects: subject: Dentistry

description: Purpose: The objective of this study was two-fold. First, to evaluate and quantify clinically detectable errors commonly seen in impressions sent to commercial laboratories. Second, to determine if impressions from students at the University of North Carolina school of Dentistry are comparable to those made by private practitioners. Materials and Methods: Three large dental laboratories and one small dental laboratory were visited over a 12 month period. Impressions were evaluated by one of three calibrated examiners. All impressions were evaluated for errors using 2.5x magnification loupes under ambient room lighting without the aid of additional illumination. In cases which had multiple abutments impressed, a defect on any abutment was scored as a defect for the entire impression. Result: A total of 1,347 impressions were evaluated, including 1,157 from private practice and 190 from students. The largest error category evaluated, with a rate of 49.3%, was tissue impinging on the finish line. Multiple logistic regression analysis for factors influencing finish line error was statistically significant for the following variables: provider type (OR 1.68, p<0.001), blood (OR 2.31, p<0.001), tray type (OR 1.68, p<0.001) and restoration requested (p=0.007). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, marginal discrepancies made up the largest category of error noted in impressions evaluated. Impressions made by private practice dentists were significantly worse than those made by students. Simplified impression techniques such as dual arch impression trays increase the risk of obtaining critical errors. Although students made the same errors as private practitioners, there was a reduced quantity of critical finish line errors in their impressions.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We present a freely downloadable software package for modelling the dynamics of galaxies, which we call the Torus Mapper (TM). The package is based around `torus mapping', which is a non-perturbative technique for creating orbital tori for specified values of the action integrals. Given an orbital torus and a star's position at a reference time, one can compute its position at any other time, no matter how remote. One can also compute the velocities with which the star will pass through any given point and the contribution it will make to the time-averaged density there. A system of angle-action coordinates for the given potential can be created by foliating phase space with orbital tori. Such a foliation is facilitated by the ability of TM to create tori by interpolating on a grid of tori. We summarise the advantages of using TM rather than a standard time-stepper to create orbits, and give segments of code that illustrate applications of TM in several contexts, including setting up initial conditions for an N-body simulation. We examine the precision of the orbital tori created by TM and the behaviour of the code when orbits become trapped by a resonance.

title: The need for national leadership, partnerships and programmes to promote the health and well-being of looked-after children in Scotland
Creators: name: McCluskey, Steven
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2006

description: Looked-after children and young people are a group whose backgrounds and care experiences have led them to be described as one of the most socially excluded and disadvantaged groups in society. Despite the fact that looked-after children are identified as having a range of complex and unmet health needs, the evidence presented suggests these young people are disadvantaged in accessing universal and specialist health services. Evidence further indicates that social exclusion, disaffection and powerlessness are shared features of the lives of looked-after children, due to institutional and interpersonal dependence upon socially constructed and adult-controlled systems of care and protection.
Because I Felt Like It: An Explanation of Arational Actions
Creators: name: Stuart, Allison A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Explanations of intentional action typically involve a combination of a desire and a belief and some form of means-end reasoning. What is often overlooked is whether emotions provide an explanation of action, particularly when the action is intelligible only in terms of the emotion and is performed for no other reason than to express the emotion. The challenge of explaining such actions involves 1) providing an account of intentional action that does not require means-end reasoning, and 2) within that same account, explaining the significance of the emotion that is experienced. I argue that both of these desiderata can be accommodated by adopting a particular account of emotions.

description: We investigate the effects of exponentially correlated noise on birhythmic van der Pol type oscillators. The analytical results are obtained applying the quasi-harmonic assumption to the Langevin equation to derive an approximated Fokker-Planck equation. This approach allows to analytically derive the probability distributions as well as the activation energies associated to switching between coexisting attractors. The stationary probability density function of the van der Pol oscillator reveals the influence of the correlation time on the dynamics. Stochastic bifurcations are discussed through a qualitative change of the stationary probability distribution, which indicates that noise intensity and correlation time can be treated as bifurcation parameters. Comparing the analytical and numerical results, we find good agreement both when the frequencies of the attractors are about equal or when they are markedly different.

description: We introduce a temporal scheme for data sampling, based on a variable delay between two successive data acquisitions. The scheme is designed so as to reduce the average data flow rate, while still retaining the information on the data evolution on fast time scales. The practical implementation of the scheme is discussed and demonstrated in light scattering and microscopy experiments that probe the dynamics of colloidal suspensions using CMOS or CCD cameras as detectors.

description: There is well-documented co-occurrence of cannabis use and psychosis (Green, Young, Kavanagh, 2005; Volkow 2009). Preliminary research suggests that individuals with psychosis might use cannabis for reasons such as fighting boredom, easing social contacts, reducing depression, and enhancing social motives. However, the relation between cannabis use motivations and prodromal psychosis symptoms has not been examined. The current project has two underlying research questions: 1) what are the motivations underlying cannabis use and 2) what is the association between cannabis use motives and prodromal psychosis symptoms. To answer these questions, we aim to evaluate the reliability, construct validity, and relations between two marijuana use and motivation measures (Marijuana Motives Measure [MMM], Simmons et al., 1998; Prodromal Questionnaire [PQB], Loewy et al., 2011). In addition, we will examine the associations between prodromal symptoms as measured by the Prodromal Questionnaire (PQB; Loewy et al., 2011) and cannabis motivations and use, as measured by the MMM. Hypothesis 1. We predict that we will find support for the construct validity (five-factor model) of the MMM. An alpha = 0.05 will be used as criterion for determining internal consistency (See Statistical Models). Hypothesis 2. We predict that MMM total score will be positively associated with cannabis use characteristics as measured by the MSHQ total scale among undergraduate college students. Then, we will use confirmatory tests to analyze which MMM subscale (e.g., coping, social, enhancement, expansion, conformity) is most related to marijuana use (e.g., onset age, past-month use, and regular use years). An alpha = 0.05 will be used as criterion for determining internal consistency. Hypothesis 3. We predict the MMM total score will be positively associated with prodromal symptom severity as measured by the PQB total scale. We will find support for the MMM total score and PQB total score using confirmatory tests. Then, we will use exploratory tests to describe which motivations (MMM subscales) most related to prodromal symptoms.

description: Increasing the crowding in an environment does not necessarily trigger negative differential mobility of strongly pushed particles. Moreover, the choice of the model, in particular the kind of microscopic jump rates, may be very relevant in determining the mobility. We support these points via simple examples and we therefore address recent claims saying that crowding in an environment is likely to promote negative differential mobility. Trapping of tagged particles enhanced by increasing the force remains the mechanism determining a drift velocity not monotonous in the driving force.

description: A statistical study of the correlation between hard X-ray and white light emission in solar flares is performed in order to search for a link between flare-accelerated electrons and white light formation. We analyze 43 flares spanning GOES classes M and X using observations from RHESSI (Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager) and HMI (Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager). We calculate X-ray fluxes at 30 keV and white light fluxes at 6173 Å summed over the hard X-ray flare ribbons with an integration time of 45 seconds around the peak hard-X ray time. We find a good correlation between hard X-ray fluxes and excess white light fluxes, with a highest correlation coefficient of 0.68 for photons with energy of 30 keV. Assuming the thick target model, a similar correlation is found between the deposited power by flare-accelerated electrons and the white light fluxes. The correlation coefficient is found to be largest for energy deposition by electrons above ~50 keV. At higher electron energies the correlation decreases gradually while a rapid decrease is seen if the energy provided by low-energy electrons is added. This suggests that flare-accelerated electrons of energy ~50 keV are the main source for white light production.

title: Book review : Holistic Special Education: Camphill Principles and Practice. Robin Jackson, editor
Creators: name: Millar, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde

description: Living in the pressurised, information-overloaded and, often, fearful times that typify the beginning of the 21st century, it can be hard to step back and reconnect with that which we know to be authentic, meaningful and life promoting. This book offers the reader just that opportunity. Holistic Special Education: Camphill Principles and Practice is a story of a vision transcending the destruction and displacement of the Nazi era, and then bringing a holistic philosophical and spiritual approach to the care of children with special needs in the North East of Scotland. This approach is manifest at the Camphill school/community, which practises curative education developed from the philosophy of the anthroposophical work of Rudolph Steiner.
Interacting quantum fluid in a polariton topological insulator

description: We study Bogoliubov excitations of a spinor Bose Einstein condensate in a honeycomb periodic potential, in the presence of a Zeeman field and of a spin-orbit coupling specific for photonic systems, which is due to the energy splitting between TE and TM polarized eigenstates. We also consider spin-anisotropic interactions typical for cavity polaritons. We show that the non-trivial topology of the single particle case is also present for the interacting system. At low condensate density, the topology of the single-particle bands is transferred to the bogolon dispersion. At a critical value, the self-induced Zeeman field at the Dirac points of the dispersion becomes equal to the real Zeeman field and then exceeds it. The gap is thus closed and then re-opened with inverted Chern numbers. This change of topology is accompanied by a change of the propagation directions of the one-way edge modes. This result demonstrates that the chirality of a topological insulator can be reversed by collective effects in a Bose-Einstein condensate.
Gender Congruency and Gender Trajectory: Predicting Transgender Discrimination in Four Contexts

description: The vast majority of studies on discrimination are confined to a single context. The transgender community is burgeoning in visibility and there is a dearth of large scale quantitative studies regarding this group. This study examines which facets related to being transgender best predict discrimination in four contexts: public accommodations, housing, the workplace, and school. Drawing from logistic regression of 4,175 cases from the National Transgender Discrimination Survey with independent variables that cluster around aesthetic gender congruency (whether a person's appearance conforms with his/her identified gender) and gender trajectory (the direction of male to female or female to male), gender congruency best predicted discrimination in public accommodations, schools, and the workplace whereas gender trajectory, specifically going from male to female, best predicted housing discrimination. Gender congruency is more likely to take precedence over gender trajectory in discrimination. Furthermore, the individual facets which best predict discrimination vary depending on the context.
Working or Working Out? Examining the Trainer-Performer- Hobbyist Nature of Part-Time Les Mills Instructors in a Philippine Gym

description: This thesis examines part-time Les Mills instructors in the Philippines, a hitherto unstudied group of individuals within contemporary fitness culture who teach group exercise classes as a hobby. All of them have regular employment outside of the fitness industry, but they invest time, effort, and money to teach Les Mills-branded programs in a local gym referred to in this study as The Fit Stop. The methodological approach combined ethnography with critical discourse analysis. The researcher drew upon data obtained by observing and interviewing participants as well as historical texts on exercise and training, which were used to produce a genealogical survey of fitness culture. By combining the two approaches, the study is able to situate localized experiences of part-time instructors in the Philippines within the broader history of global exercise culture. It is argued in the thesis that part-time instructors are distinct in the history of fitness cultures because they combine the commonly separated roles of hobbyist, trainer, and performer. As trainers, they engage in a distinct form of “body work” (Twigg et al., 2011), which allows them to shape class participants’ bodies without needing to physically touch them. Les Mills instructors use visual and auditory cues that they weave together with apparent naturalness. The participants in this study are also performers, both inside and outside the group fitness studio, managing their participants’ impressions, while motivating them to move. Finally, part-time instructors are serious hobbyists who view group fitness as a hobby, even if it possesses the characteristics of professional work. Underpinning their logic is the assumption that hobbies are done for enjoyment rather than financial returns. By understanding part-time instructors’ experiences and motivations, fitness companies can better manage their relationships with this distinctive type of trainer.
