Mitigating Systematic Errors in Angular Correlation Function Measurements from Wide Field Surveys

description: We present an investigation into the effects of survey systematics such as varying depth, point spread function (PSF) size, and extinction on the galaxy selection and correlation in photometric, multi-epoch, wide area surveys. We take the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) as an example. Variations in galaxy selection due to systematics are found to cause density fluctuations of up to 10% for some small fraction of the area for most galaxy redshift slices and as much as 50% for some extreme cases of faint high-redshift samples. This results in correlations of galaxies against survey systematics of order $\sim$1% when averaged over the survey area. We present an empirical method for mitigating these systematic correlations from measurements of angular correlation functions using weighted random points. These weighted random catalogs are estimated from the observed galaxy over densities by mapping these to survey parameters. We are able to model and mitigate the effect of systematic correlations allowing for non-linear dependencies of density on systematics. Applied to CFHTLenS we find that the method reduces spurious correlations in the data by a factor two for most galaxy samples and as much as an order of magnitude in others. Such a treatment is particularly important for an unbiased estimation of very small correlation signals, as e.g. from weak gravitational lensing magnification bias. We impose a criterion for using a galaxy sample in a magnification measurement of the majority of the systematic correlations show improvement and are less than 10% of the expected magnification signal when combined in the galaxy cross correlation. After correction the galaxy samples in CFHTLenS satisfy this criterion for $z_{\rm phot}<0.9$ and will be used in a future analysis of magnification.

The Origin of Double-Peaked Narrow Lines in Active Galactic Nuclei I: Very Large Array Detections of Dual AGNs and AGN Outflows

description: We have examined a subset of 18 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) drawn from a sample of 81 galaxies that possess double-peaked narrow optical emission line spectra in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, have two optical AGN emission components separated by >0.2", and are detected in the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-centimeters survey. Without follow-up observations, the sources of the double-peaked narrow emission lines are uncertain, and may be produced by kpc-scale separation dual active supermassive black holes, AGN outflows, or disk rotation. In this work, we propose a new methodology to characterize double-peaked narrow emission-line galaxies based on optical long-slit spectroscopy and high resolution multi-band Very Large Array observations. The nature of the radio emission in the sample galaxies is varied. Of the 18 galaxies, we detect two compact flat-spectrum radio cores with projected spatial separations on the sky between 0.6-1.6 kpc in three galaxies: J1023+3243, J1158+3231, and J1623+0808. The two radio sources are spatially coincident with the two optical components of ionized gas with AGN-like line ratios, which confirms the presence of dual AGNs in these three galaxies. Dual AGNs account for only ~15% (3/18) of the double-peaked AGNs in our sample. Gas kinematics produce ~75% (13/18) of the double-peaked narrow emission lines, distributed in the following way: 7 AGN wind-driven outflows, 5 radio-jet driven outflows, and one rotating narrow-line region. The remaining ~10% (2/18) are ambiguous cases. Our method demonstrates the power of spatially resolved spectroscopy and high resolution radio observations for the identification of AGN outflows and AGN pairs with angular separations as small as 0.18".

Exchange interactions in the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation for the stability analysis of itinerant ferromagnetism

Year: 2015

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Itinerant ferromagnetism, i.e. spontaneous polarization of non-localized particles, is expected to occur for strong repulsive interactions in a spin-1/2 Fermi system. However, this state has proven notoriously hard to find experimentally, both in ultracold gases and in solids. This raises questions about the stability of the itinerant ferromagnetic state itself. Here we develop a new approach to describe both the direct and exchange interactions for a general interaction potential in the path-integral formalism and we apply this method to itinerant ferromagnetism in three-dimensional ultracold Fermi gases. We show that the exchange interactions are lost in the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation and we propose to explicitly include the exchange effects in a new modified interaction potential. In the saddle-point approximation, the effect of interactions can be taken into account using only three parameters. If the interactions become too strong, all saddle points become unstable to density fluctuations. This greatly restricts the area in the phase diagram where uniform itinerant ferromagnetism is expected to occur.

Cultural Trauma of 287(g) and the Growth of Solidarity in the Latino Community
Creators: name: Huerta-Bapat, Carmen

Year: 2012

description: Section 287(g) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act of 1996 authorizes local police officers to detect, detain and deport undocumented immigrants during routine patrols (Vaughan & Edwards, 2009). This program is producing a considerable increase in deportations, obstructing the daily activities of documented and undocumented Latinos alike, and limiting their interactions with public institutions. Using Sztompka's (2000) framework of cultural trauma, I conducted 20 semi-structured in-depth interviews with adult Latin American immigrants living in two adjacent cities in North Carolina. Long Hill is known as a sanctuary location since 287(g) is not enforced by local police officers; Montgomery City, on the other hand, actively enforces the program. I found that rather than incapacitating Latinos, 287(g) has provided an impetus for increased Latino solidarity across nationalities and has advanced a sense of linked fate among Latinos.

UNDERUSE OF ORAL ANTICOAGULATION THERAPY IN OLDER ADULTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AFTER STROKE
Creators: name: Smith, Cecily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Background and Purpose: There was an identified underuse of oral anticoagulation (OAC) among individuals who are over the age of 65 with atrial fibrillation (AF).  The purpose of this DNP project was to identify patients aged 65 or older with a diagnosis of AF and a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA), not on current OAC to determine if a prescription was provided to them at time of discharge from the hospital or during a post-hospitalization follow up appointment with their primary care or cardiology provider.
      Method: A retrospective medical record review was used over a three-month period in 2016 to determine clinical practice of providers prescribing OAC to patient ages 65 and older with AF and known stroke or TIA diagnosis.  An evidence-based clinical decision support algorithm for the treatment of those with AF who had a CVA or TIA was implemented over a 12-week period at a large, independent hospital using the ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation, a framework for putting evidence-based processes into operation.  The risk for stroke and bleeding was calculated using the CHA2DS2-VASc score and HAS-BLED tools.  Following the implementation period, the same three-month span was selected in 2017 for a retrospective record review to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
      Results: A total of 27 patients were included in this project.  The number of eligible patients who were offered prescriptions for OAC increased from 87% in 2016 to 100% in 2017.
      Conclusion: The intervention resulted in the desired change towards evidence-based practice among providers.  Following implementation of the project discharging providers not only included neurology’s recommendations in their discharge notes, but also provided prescriptions to eligible patients rather than leaving it to the patient’s primary care provider to initiate.

A hybrid LDG-HWENO scheme for KdV-type equations

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: A hybrid LDG-HWENO scheme is proposed for the numerical solution of KdV-type partial differential equations. It evolves the cell averages of the physical solution and its moments (a feature of Hermite WENO) while discretizes high order spatial derivatives using the local DG method. The new scheme has the advantages of both LDG and HWENO methods, including the ability to deal with high order spatial derivatives and the use of a small number of global unknown variables. The latter is independent of the order of the scheme and the spatial order of the underlying differential equations. One and two dimensional numerical examples are presented to show that the scheme can attain the same formal high order accuracy as the LDG method.

Do toddlers expect a puppet that imitated or was imitated by a central individual to react to another unaffiliated individual’s distress?

description: This is a follow-up study to investigate the findings from the study described in the pre-registration here: https://osf.io/e2dzw/ Here, we investigate why 16.5-18.5 month old toddlers appear to expect the imitated as well as the imitator to react to their social partner's distress. Specifically, we ask, whether toddlers’ predictions in the previous study were based on inferred traits of the puppets or inferred relationships between the puppets and people. As discussed in this pre-registration, we hypothesize that toddlers’ expectations in the actor condition are driven by inferred prosocial traits of imitators, thus toddlers will expect imitators to respond to the new person’s distress. By contrast, toddlers' expectations about the targets of imitation are driven by inferences about relationships, so they will have no expectations in the target condition.
Nietzsche's historiography: history and culture in the second Untimely Meditation
Creators: name: Nix, Nacona J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This thesis analyzes Friedrich Nietzsche's response to the growing professionalization of history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I begin by exploring traditional historians' attempts to answer the question of why we read and write about the past. In doing so, I highlight postmodernist objections to positivistic history and enumerate the various social and political uses to which contemporary histories are put. I then turn to the second Untimely Meditation to evaluate Nietzsche's claim that the products of the scientific pursuit of history overwhelm weak minds and prevent future generations from undertaking projects of cultural reform and renewal. I argue that while Nietzsche's description of the deleterious effects of German historicism contains much that is recognizable in twenty-first century liberal democracies, his historiography condones a cavalier attitude toward historical truth that privileges mythmaking and culture above science and politics. I conclude by suggesting how modern academic history could better serve the needs of a democratic citizenry.

The effects of focused collaboration on instructional and assessment practices

Subjects: subject: Teaching teams

description: There are many long-held, traditional views of what the teaching profession looks like: isolated individuals creating and delivering lessons, then collecting a myriad of samples of student work to assess. Presently, however, opportunities for teachers to work together and to expand their instruction and assessment repertoires are becoming more commonplace. There is significant research that not only supports the benefits of teacher collaboration, but also the impact that certain instructional and assessment practices can have on student learning. This study describes how combining opportunities for teacher collaboration with conversations focused on instructional and assessment strategies can lead to improvements in teaching practices. Eight middle-school teachers volunteered to meet together for an hour, after school. Every two weeks for five months. At each meeting, teachers discussed a new instructional or assessment strategy, and reflected on the new strategies they had implemented in previous weeks. Together, teachers shared ideas, supported each other, and discussed ways in which each of them could implement the new strategies in their respective teaching areas. At the conclusion of the collaboration sessions, teachers reported on any changes in their practices through two surveys: a questionnaire consisting of ten close-ended questions, and one containing six openended questions. Results of the questionnaires revealed a positive connection between the frequency a specific strategy was discussed, and positive changes in that area, as reported by participants For example, Learning Intentions was discussed at all ten meetings, and teachers reported they had made the most significant changes in this area of instruction or assessment. Analysis of the data raises questions about how the motivation of teachers may impact their reportings, and how teachers or researchers can sustain, over longer periods of time or teaching assignments, the positive changes that teachers reported.

description: Using a sample of ~100 nearby line-emitting galaxy nuclei, we have built the currently definitive atlas of spectroscopic measurements of H_alpha and neighboring emission lines at subarcsecond scales. We employ these data in a quantitative comparison of the nebular emission in Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based apertures, which offer an order-of-magnitude difference in contrast, and provide new statistical constraints on the degree to which Transition Objects and low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs) are powered by an accreting black hole at <10 pc. We show that while the small-aperture observations clearly resolve the nebular emission, the aperture dependence in the line ratios is generally weak, and this can be explained by gradients in the density of the line-emitting gas: the higher densities in the more nuclear regions potentially flatten the excitation gradients, suppressing the forbidden emission. The Transition Objects show a threefold increase in the incidence of broad H_alpha emission in the high-resolution data, as well as the strongest density gradients, supporting the composite model for these systems as accreting sources surrounded by star-forming activity. The narrow-line LINERs appear to be the weaker counterparts of the Type 1 LINERs, where the low accretion rates cause the disappearance of the broad-line component. The enhanced sensitivity of the HST observations reveals a 30% increase in the incidence of accretion-powered systems at z~0. A comparison of the strength of the broad-line emission detected at different epochs implies potential broad-line variability on a decade-long timescale, with at least a factor of three in amplitude.

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Professional learning communities

description: The empirical evidence on changing educators’ assessment practices shows what pedagogical changes effectively increase student achievement, but the question remains about how to support educators in making the necessary lasting changes. In this present study the what is formative assessment, specifically the six assessment for learning strategies that matter (Halbert & Kaser, 2008, adapted from Black, Harrison, Lee, Marshall & Wiliam, 2004, see Appendix A), and the how is a structured professional learning community (PLC) over a six month period. Eight secondary school humanities educators engaged in six PLC sessions, of which, three were learning focused and three were application focused. Throughout the study, the six AFL strategies were examined, two per PLC, at both a learning session and an application session. The premise is when educators are given on-going support in the form of leadership; facilitated collaboration; learning, practice, and reflective time in the school day; resources; and multiple opportunities to develop and share their own “…living examples of implementation…” (as cited in Wiliam, Lee, Harrison, & Black, 2004, p. 51) a change in mind set and practice will result. Findings of this present study supported the hypothesis. The eight educators after the treatment at month six, reported an increase in the level of adoption for each the of the six AFL strategies.

Relativistic boost as the cause of periodicity in a massive black-hole binary candidate

description: Because most large galaxies contain a central black hole, and galaxies often merge, black-hole binaries are expected to be common in galactic nuclei. Although they cannot be imaged, periodicities in the light curves of quasars have been interpreted as evidence for binaries, most recently in PG~1302-102, with a short rest-frame optical period of 4 years. If the orbital period matches this value, then for the range of estimated black hole masses the components would be separated by 0.007-0.017 pc, implying relativistic orbital speeds. There has been much debate over whether black hole orbits could be smaller than 1 pc. Here we show that the amplitude and the sinusoid-like shape of the variability of PG~1302-102 can be fit by relativistic Doppler boosting of emission from a compact, steadily accreting, unequal-mass binary. We predict that brightness variations in the ultraviolet light curve track those in the optical, but with a 2-3 times larger amplitude. This prediction is relatively insensitive to the details of the emission process, and is consistent with archival UV data. Follow-up UV and optical observations in the next few years can test this prediction and confirm the existence of a binary black hole in the relativistic regime.

description: Objectives: 1. Determine accuracy of detecting alveolar bone loss affecting tooth support with registered cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) compared to intraoral radiographs (IO). 2. Assess repeatability of measurements with CBCT compared to IO. 3. Identify factors which may affect defect detection. 4. Determine effect of bucco-lingual bone thickness on defect detection. Methods: Defects were created in mandibles and imaged pre-, post-defect with IO and CBCT. Six observers viewed IO radiographs pre-, post-defect followed by CBCTs to determine defect presence and extent. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), sensitivity, specificity, logistic regression were used. Inter-, intra-observer agreement were assessed by intraclass correlation coefficient and weighted kappa. Results: Mean ROC Az for CBCT (0.90) was not statistically different from mean Az of IO (0.81). CBCT sensitivity was higher than IO sensitivity (0.85 vs. 0.63, p<0.05). CBCT specificity was equivalent to IO specificity (0.91 vs. 0.84, p>0.05). Bone thickness, imaging modality, observer had significant effects on bone loss detection. Odds ratio for CBCT vs. IO diagnostic accuracy was 2.29. Odds ratio for bucco-lingual bone thickness was 1.52. There was moderate agreement between observers and substantial agreement within observers for detection of bone loss and measurement of extent. Conclusions: CBCT showed equivalent diagnostic efficacy and specificity for defect detection, but higher sensitivity than IO. CBCT more than doubles the odds of accurate bone loss assessment compared to IO. Odds of bone loss detection increase by approximately 50% per millimeter of bucco-lingual bone loss.

3-Dimensional Analysis of Alveolar Changes after Extraction and Implant Placement: A Pilot Study
Creators: name: Ludlow, Mark England
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Dentistry
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dimensional change that occurs after tooth extraction and implant placement. Materials and Methods: A protocol was developed for assessing the change in the buccal alveolar bone facial to the implants using the pre-operative and post-operative cone beam scans using three different software programs. DICOM files were formatted in 3D-Slicer, segmented further in ITK-SNAP, and aligned and measured in VAM. Results: Eight patients' (4 grafted vs. 4 non-grafted) pre- and post-operative digital models were compared to assess linear alveolar change. The mean alveolar bone dimensional change facial to the implants at the crestal, mid-implant and apical regions was .974 ± .536 mm, .762 ± .371 mm, and .442 ± .259 mm respectively. Conclusions: A protocol for comparing surface dimensional changes of alveolar bone was developed and used to compare clinical therapy outcomes.

description: We propose an efficient algorithmic framework for time domain circuit simulation using exponential integrator. This work addresses several critical issues exposed by previous matrix exponential based circuit simulation research, and makes it capable of simulating stiff nonlinear circuit system at a large scale. In this framework, the system's nonlinearity is treated with exponential Rosenbrock-Euler formulation. The matrix exponential and vector product is computed using invert Krylov subspace method. Our proposed method has several distinguished advantages over conventional formulations (e.g., the well-known backward Euler with Newton-Raphson method). The matrix factorization is performed only for the conductance/resistance matrix G, without being performed for the combinations of the capacitance/inductance matrix C and matrix G, which are used in traditional implicit formulations. Furthermore, due to the explicit nature of our formulation, we do not need to repeat LU decompositions when adjusting the length of time steps for error controls. Our algorithm is better suited to solving tightly coupled post-layout circuits in the pursuit for full-chip simulation. Our experimental results validate the advantages of our framework.

description: We proposed MATEX, a distributed framework for transient simulation of power distribution networks (PDNs). MATEX utilizes matrix exponential kernel with Krylov subspace approximations to solve differential equations of linear circuit. First, the whole simulation task is divided into subtasks based on decompositions of current sources, in order to reduce the computational overheads. Then these subtasks are distributed to different computing nodes and processed in parallel. Within each node, after the matrix factorization at the beginning of simulation, the adaptive time stepping solver is performed without extra matrix re-factorizations. MATEX overcomes the stiff-ness hinder of previous matrix exponential-based circuit simulator by rational Krylov subspace method, which leads to larger step sizes with smaller dimensions of Krylov subspace bases and highly accelerates the whole computation. MATEX outperforms both traditional fixed and adaptive time stepping methods, e.g., achieving around 13X over the trapezoidal framework with fixed time step for the IBM power grid benchmarks.

Open cluster Dolidze 25: Stellar parameters and the metallicity in the Galactic Anticentre

description: The young open cluster Dolidze 25, in the direction of the Galactic Anticentre, has been attributed a very low metallicity, with typical abundances between $-0.5$ and $-0.7$ dex below solar. We intend to derive accurate cluster parameters and accurate stellar abundances for some of its members. We have obtained a large sample of intermediate- and high-resolution spectra for stars in and around Dolidze 25. We used the FASTWIND code to generate stellar atmosphere models to fit the observed spectra. We derive stellar parameters for a large number of OB stars in the area, and abundances of oxygen and silicon for a number of stars with spectral types around B0. We measure low abundances in stars of Dolidze 25. For the three stars with spectral types around B0, we find $0.3$ dex (Si) and $0.5$ dex (O) below the values typical in the solar neighbourhood. These values, even though not as low as those given previously, confirm Dolidze 25 and the surrounding H II region Sh2-284 as the most metal-poor star-forming environment known in the Milky Way. We derive a distance $4.5\pm0.3\:$kpc to the cluster ($r_{\textrm{G}}\approx12.3\:$kpc). The cluster cannot be older than $\sim3\:$Myr, and likely is not much younger. One star in its immediate vicinity, sharing the same distance, has Si and O abundances at most $0.15\:$dex below solar. The low abundances measured in Dolidze 25 are compatible with currently accepted values for the slope of the Galactic metallicity gradient, if we take into account that variations of at least $\pm0.15\:$dex are observed at a given radius. The area traditionally identified as Dolidze 25 is only a small part of a much larger star-forming region that comprises the whole dust shell associated with Sh2-284 and very likely several other smaller H II regions in its vicinity.

description: Assisted Human Reproduction (AHR) treatment is unregulated in Ireland, although it is practised there. Within Europe, Ireland is one of the only European countries without any form of AHR-specific regulation. This study aims to investigate the experiences and viewpoints of Irish women undergoing AHR treatments and establish if the lack of legislation is affecting these experiences. A quantitative survey was carried out on women undergoing AHR treatment in Irish clinics. Patients highlighted a lack of information in terms of end-to-end care and poor information around treatments and success rates. Key issues highlighted included unanticipated high treatment costs and add-on treatment costs, lack of financial support from the government, no redress process in the event of dissatisfaction, and generally an overall feeling of a lack of support both from the AHR clinics and the Irish government. This study offers a real-time view of the Irish AHR system from the patient’s experience of AHR and under the lens of the lack of a legislative system. In early 2022, the Irish government announced that it would adopt its bill around AHR treatment and that subsidies for AHR treatment are to come into effect, which will alleviate some financial pressures on patients. Further studies of the legislation carried out post implementation will provide more information about the impact of having a legislated AHR process on the patients.
