description: We explore the evolution of the Stellar Mass-Star Formation Rate-Metallicity Relation using a set of 256 COSMOS and GOODS galaxies in the redshift range 1.90 < z < 2.35. We present the galaxies' rest-frame optical emission-line fluxes derived from IR-grism spectroscopy with the Hubble Space Telescope and combine these data with star formation rates and stellar masses obtained from deep, multi-wavelength (rest-frame UV to IR) photometry. We then compare these measurements to those for a local sample of galaxies carefully matched in stellar mass (7.5 < log(M*/Msol) < 10.5) and star formation rate (-0.5 < log(SFR) < 2.5 in Msol yr^-1). We find that the distribution of z ~ 2.1 galaxies in stellar mass-SFR-metallicity space is clearly different from that derived for our sample of similarly bright (L_H\b{eta} > 3 . 10^40 ergs s^-1) local galaxies, and this offset cannot be explained by simple systematic offsets in the derived quantities. At stellar masses above ~10^9 Msol and star formation rates above ~10 Msol yr^-1, the z ~ 2.1 galaxies have higher oxygen abundances than their local counterparts, while the opposite is true for lower-mass, lower-SFR systems.

Watering the Roman Legion

Subjects: History, Ancient

description: This thesis investigates how ancient Roman legions provisioned fresh water while on campaign, arguing that water logistics were an important limit on Rome's ability to defend the empire. Using comparative data, this thesis estimates the hefty water requirements of a Roman army in the field and argues that the limits of preindustrial transportation technology compelled commanders to stick close to local water supplies except in the most urgent circumstances. After a discussion of what water sources ancient armies could tap, this thesis turns to investigate how the reliance on local water sources limited the strategic maneuverability of Roman forces. Through GIS analysis of water sources along the Roman frontier in Tripolitania, it demonstrates that large swaths of nominally "Roman" territory were inaccessible to Roman troops, and that the strictures of water logistics made it challenging for the Roman Empire to adequately secure its desert frontiers.
Topological spin waves in the atomic-scale magnetic skyrmion crystal

description: We study the spin waves of the triangular skyrmion crystal that emerges in a two dimensional spin lattice model as a result of the competition between Heisenberg exchange, Dzyalonshinkii-Moriya interactions, Zeeman coupling and uniaxial anisotropy. The calculated spin wave bands have a finite Berry curvature that, in some cases, leads to non-zero Chern numbers, making this system topologically distinct from conventional magnonic systems. We compute the edge spin-waves, expected from the bulk-boundary correspondence principle, and show that they are chiral, which makes them immune to elastic backscattering. Our results illustrate how topological phases can occur in self-generated emergent superlattices at the mesoscale.

description: Successful emotion regulation (ER) is associated with good mental health, physical health, and interpersonal behavior. Conversely, poor ER has been implicated in many mental illnesses, including social anxiety disorder. In an effort to work towards a scalable, low-cost intervention for improving ER, we will develop a novel contextual recommender algorithm for ER strategies, based on a five-week ecological momentary assessment study of N=114 socially anxious individuals. The data have already been collected, and this pre-registration is for an analytic plan based on the data. Participants were prompted via a mobile app up to six times daily to report their emotional state, use of 17 different ER strategies, physical location, and social context. Information from passive sensors was also collected. Given the large number of ER strategies, we will use two different approaches for dimensionality reduction: (1) grouping ER strategies into categories based on a prior meta-analysis and (2) considering only the ten most frequently used strategies. For each approach, an algorithm that recommends strategies based on a person’s current context will be compared to an algorithm that recommends ER strategies randomly and an algorithm that always recommends cognitive reappraisal. Contextual bandits will be used to predict the effectiveness of the strategies recommended by each algorithm.

Unlike conventional scanning gate experiments, it allows investigating QPC conductance plateaus affected by the tip at these positions. We compensate the capacitive coupling of the tip to the QPC and discover that interference fringes coexist with distorted QPC plateaus. We spatially resolve the mode structure for each plateau.

The effects of viscosity and subsurface heterogeneity on a brine barrier approach to DNAPL remediation
Creators: name: Murphy, Lauren L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) are a long-term source of groundwater contamination. Difficulties of current remediation methods have led to the study of a novel brine barrier remediation technology (BBRT) which presents a solution to current limitations. This study utilized a mathematical model to advance understanding of BBRT at the macroscale. A subset of stochastic functions was employed to represent correlated random permeability fields and to asses their impacts on brine emplacement and brine removal efficiency. The injection of a highly viscous brine into the subsurface was seen to cause a decrease in permeability, leading to brine mounding around injection wells. For moderately heterogeneous domains, this behavior was able to be mitigated by the use of sufficiently low injection rates. However, local heterogeneities were shown to be the dominant factor in subsequent brine removal, emphasizing the importance of subsurface knowledge for accurate modeling and efficient implementation of BBRT.
Numerical simulation of wave propagation in inhomogeneous media using Generalized Plane Waves

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The Trefftz Discontinuous Galerkin (TDG) method is a technique for approximating the Helmholtz equation (or other linear wave equations) using piecewise defined local solutions of the equation to approximate the global solution. When coefficients in the equation (for example, the refractive index) are piecewise constant it is common to use plane waves on each element. However when the coefficients are smooth functions of position, plane waves are no longer directly applicable. In this paper we show how Generalized Plane Waves (GPWs) can be used in a modified TDG scheme to approximate the solution for piecewise smooth coefficients. GPWs are approximate solutions to the equation that reduce to plane waves when the medium through which the wave propagates is constant. We shall show how to modify the TDG sesquilinear form to allow us to prove convergence of the GPW based version. The new scheme retains the high order convergence of the original TDG scheme (when the solution is smooth) and also retains the same number of degrees of freedom per element (corresponding to the directions of the GPWs). Unfortunately it looses the advantage that only skeleton integrals need to be performed. Besides proving convergence, we provide numerical examples to test our theory.
Suppression of Star Formation in the Hosts of Low-Excitation Radio Galaxies

description: The feedback from radio-loud active galactic nuclei (R-AGN) may help maintain low star formation (SF) rates in their early-type hosts, but the observational evidence for this mechanism has been inconclusive. We study systematic differences of aggregate spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of various subsets of $\sim$4000 low-redshift R-AGN from Best & Heckman (2012) with respect to (currently) inactive control samples selected to have matching redshift, stellar mass, population age, axis ratio, and environment. Aggregate SEDs, ranging from the ultraviolet (UV) through mid-infrared (mid-IR, 22 $μ$m), were constructed using a Bayesian method that eliminates biases from non-detections in GALEX and WISE. We study rare high-excitation sources separately from low-excitation ones, which we split by environment and host properties. We find that both the UV and mid-IR emission of non-cluster R-AGNs (80% of sample) are suppressed by $\sim$0.2 dex relative to that of the control group, especially for moderately massive galaxies (log $M_* \lesssim$ 11). The difference disappears for high-mass R-AGN and for R-AGN in clusters, where other, non-AGN quenching/maintenance mechanisms may dominate, or where the suppression of SF due to AGN may persist between active phases of the central engine, perhaps because of the presence of a hot gaseous halo storing AGN energy. High-excitation (high accretion rate) sources, which make up 2% of the R-AGN sample, also show no evidence of SF suppression (their UV is the same as in controls), but they exhibit a strong mid-IR excess due to AGN dust heating.

We require algorithms that have a well-controlled numerical error, that are uniformly scalable and reversible (unitary), and that can be implemented efficiently. We present quantum algorithms and circuits for computing the square root, the natural logarithm, and arbitrary fractional powers. We provide performance guarantees in terms of their worst-case accuracy and cost. We further illustrate their performance by providing tests comparing them to the respective floating point implementations found in widely used numerical software.

Oral health literacy educational experiences of North Carolina dental hygiene students: implications for dental hygiene research
Creators: name: Barron, Lisa Marie
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: This descriptive study focuses on the educational experiences of North Carolina senior dental hygiene (DH) students in patient communication, their use of communication techniques in patient care, and factors associated with that use. A cross-sectional survey design was used to assess Oral Health Literacy (OHL) knowledge and experiences of approximately 249 senior DH students enrolled at 13 North Carolina (NC) DH Programs. The program response rate was 100% with an individual response rate of 91.56%. DH students' reported level of instruction was high (98%) but not a statistically significant predictor of communication technique use. The majority of students believe that dental hygienists should be trained to use appropriate communication techniques based on the patients OHL status (96%). However, over half reported that there is not enough time during an appointment to assess patient understanding of oral health information (62%). OHL model curricula and the development of standards are needed to prepare DH students to communicate effectively with low health literacy patients.
Algebraic solution of the Lindblad equation for a collection of multilevel systems coupled to independent environments

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We consider the Lindblad equation for a collection of multilevel systems coupled to independent environments. The equation is symmetric under the exchange of the labels associated with each system and thus the open-system dynamics takes place in the permutation-symmetric subspace of the operator space. The dimension of this space grows polynomially with the number of systems. We construct a basis of this space and a set of superoperators whose action on this basis is easily specified. For a given number of levels, $M$, these superoperators are written in terms of a bosonic realization of the generators of the Lie algebra $\sln{M^2}$. In some cases, these results enable finding an analytic solution of the master equation using known Lie-algebraic methods. To demonstrate this, we obtain an analytic expression for the state operator of a collection of three-level atoms coupled to independent radiation baths. When analytic solutions are difficult to find, the basis and the superoperators can be used to considerably reduce the computational resources required for simulations.

description: Recent progress in neuroscience to image and investigate brain function has been made possible by impressive developments in optogenetic and opto-molecular tools. Such research requires advances in optical techniques for the delivery of light through brain tissue with high spatial resolution. The tissue causes distortions of the wavefront of the incoming light which broadens the focus, thereby reducing the intensity and resolution especially in techniques requiring focal illumination. Adaptive wavefront correction has been demonstrated to compensate for these distortions. However, in many situations iterative derivation of the corrective wavefront introduces time constraints that limit its usefulness when used to probe living cells. Here we demonstrate a direct and fast technique by working with a small set of Zernike modes and demonstrate that corrections derived a priori can lead to significant improvement of the focus. We verify this idea by the electrical response of whole-cell patched neurons following two-photon photolysis of caged neurotransmitters along its dendrites.In particular, we find that the organization of the neuropile in the cortical region of rat brain slicesprovide sufficient a priori information to preselect an effective wavefront correction.
Examining the Performance Improvements Offered by 802.11ax MU-MIMO in a Classroom Environment

Subjects: Networking and communications

description: The growing demand for faster, more reliable wireless connectivity has brought about the development of the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6/6E) amendment, which aims to satisfy the increasing need for seamless wireless connectivity and improved traffic handling. The 802.11ax amendment introduces noteworthy improvements to the 802.11 wireless standard that should greatly improve the efficiency of wireless networks. The body of existing research has seen several simulated 802.11ax environments and found great success, however, these additions remain largely untested in physical environments. This thesis undertakes the testing for 802.11ax MU-MIMO to determine if these simulated successes translate into real-world improvements. By using a classroom scenario, the study investigates the performance improvements purported by 802.11ax, specifically the updated and expanded DL and UL MU-MIMO in an environment with high client numbers and density.

On the origin of the cusp in the transverse momentum distribution for the process of strong field ionization
Creators: name: Ivanov, I. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the origin of the cusp-structure in the transverse or lateral electron momentum distribution (TEMD) for the process of tunelling ionization driven by a linearly polarized laser pulse. We show that appearance of the cusp in the TEMD can be explained as follows. Projection on the set of the Coulomb scattering states leads to appearance of "elementary" cusps which have simple structure as functions of the lateral momentum. This structure is independent of the detailed dynamics of the ionization process and can be described analytically. These "elementary" cusps can be used to describe the cusp-structure in TEMD.

description: Interacting global, societal and organizational contexts produce unique organizational inequality regimes. This paper aims to understand multilevel processes influencing gendered, classed, raced and aged inequality regimes and worker hierarchies within “ComCo”, an Australian subsidiary of a multinational company. Our qualitative critical feminist-grounded theory approach triangulated organizational documentation, employee interviews and open-ended questionnaire responses. The emergent theory suggested that ComCo’s globally and societally embedded neoliberal-capitalist–masculine growth imperative produced no longer simplistically one-sided, but multifaceted and diversified masculine–individual–white and feminine–collaborative–colored growth mechanisms, including ideal workers broadening from quantitatively extreme to qualitatively conformant qualities and practices, to constitute not merely unencumbered masculine, but all workers, as existing for company growth. However, feminine–collective–colored mechanisms, co-opted to supporting growth, remained subordinated to masculine–individual–white mechanisms constructed as more effective at delivering growth, reinforcing ComCo’s inequality regimes and worker hierarchies despite diversity initiatives. Organizations must identify and address processes reinforcing inequality regimes to genuinely promote employment equity and diversity.
Evaluating latent variable interactions with structural equation mixture models
Creators: name: Mathiowetz, Ruth E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Interactions are commonly hypothesized in psychological research. Methods exist for estimating interactions with observed variables, but problems with small effect sizes, measurement error, predictor distributions, and the unknown nature of the relationships among the variables of interest make it difficult to detect interactions. Latent variable approaches were proposed to remedy some problems with observed variables, however these methods require a priori specification of the functional form of the interaction. The present work evaluates an approach using structural equation mixture models (SEMMs) to estimate interactions among latent variables without specifying a functional form in advance. Results indicate that the approach can approximate a variety of latent variable relationships. Larger sample sizes and areas with more observations were associated with better SEMM performance. Typically, SEMMs with additional classes had less bias. It is recommended that researchers examine predicted value plots for several SEMMs to evaluate the relationships among the latent variables.

description: The ultraviolet broad absorption lines have been seen in the spectra of quasars at high redshift, and are generally considered to be caused by outflows with velocities from thousands kilometers per second to one tenth of the speed of light. They provide crucial implications for the cosmological structures and physical evolutions related to the feedback of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Recently, through a dedicated program of optically spectroscopic identifications of selected quasar candidates at redshift 5 by using the Lijiang 2.4 m telescope, we discovered two luminous broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) at redshift about 4.75. One of them may even have the potentially highest absorption Balnicity Index (BI) ever found to date, which is remarkably characterized by its deep, broad absorption lines and sub-relativistic outflows. Further physical properties, including the metal abundances, variabilities, evolutions of the supermassive black holes (SMBH) and accretion disks associated with the feedback process, can be investigated with multi-wavelength follow-up observations in the future.

description: Trauma can be defined as an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that are experienced by individuals as physically/emotionally harmful or life threatening and can have long-term adverse effects on a person’s physical, mental and emotional well-being (SAMHSA’s Trauma and Justice Strategic Initiative, 2014). Types of traumatic experiences can include physical, sexual and/or emotional abuse, neglect, exposure to conflict, and social factors such as racism, poverty and migration-related trauma (Cohodes et al., 2021; Sweeney & Taggart, 2018). Experiences of trauma in both childhood and adulthood are highly prevalent among people who use mental health services (Khalifeh et al., 2015; Oram et al., 2013; Read et al., 2018), and it is increasingly acknowledged that experiences of mental health care can exacerbate the effects of trauma (Sweeney & Taggart, 2018). This can be especially so in acute care settings where restrictive practices are employed to maintain safety (Prytherch et al., 2021; Sweeney & Taggart, 2018). Trauma-informed care (TIC) approaches to mental health care shift the focus of support so that an understanding of traumatic experiences and their effects, and an active approach to avoiding re-traumatisation become central to how care is delivered. This systematic review aims to examine the evidence on trauma-informed care models, outcomes and costs across acute and crisis psychiatric services, including staff expectations, and service user and carer experiences. This scoping review aims to answer: i) What trauma-informed care approaches are used in acute and crisis mental health care? ii) What is known about service user and carer expectations and experiences of trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care? iii) How do trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care impact on service user outcomes? iv) What is known about staff attitudes, expectations and experiences of delivering trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care? v) How do trauma-informed care approaches impact on staff practices and staff wellbeing in acute and crisis mental health care? vi) How do trauma-informed care approaches in acute and crisis mental health care impact on service use and costs and what evidence exists about their cost-effectiveness?
Multiparty mediation: a more optimistic view
Creators: name: Menninga, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Mediation is a popular conflict resolution tool used by the international community to limit the duration and damage of civil conflicts. Yet empirical studies of conflict resolution, peace agreements, and the techniques used to influence outcomes, treat all types of mediation efforts as equivalent. This thesis explores how multiparty mediation efforts differ from single-party efforts and how these differences affect the resolution of conflicts and the durability of peace settlements. Arguing that multiparty efforts should lead to a more stable peace than single-party mediation, these differences are tested using logistic and Cox proportional hazard analyses on a sample of peace agreements resulting from civil conflicts. The results show that multiparty mediation decreases the likelihood of an agreement failing compared to single party mediation efforts in all models, but these results are not consistently statistically significant.

description: The effect of gravitational Faraday rotation was predicted in the 1950s, but there is currently no practical method for measuring this effect. Measuring this effect is important because it will provide new evidence for correctness of general relativity, in particular, in the strong field limit. We predict that the observed degree and angle of the X-ray polarization of a cosmologically distant quasar microlensed by the random star field in a foreground galaxy or cluster lens vary rapidly and concurrently with flux during caustic-crossing events using the first simulation of quasar X-ray microlensing polarization light curves. Therefore, it is possible to detect gravitational Faraday rotation by monitoring the X-ray polarization of gravitationally microlensed quasars. Detecting this effect will also confirm the strong gravity nature of quasar X-ray emission.

Effects of Formative Assessment on Middle School Student Achievement in Mathematics and Reading
Creators: name: Kline, Abram Justin
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Working with a dataset from middle school students' mathematics and reading assessments, this study was conducted to gather evidence regarding effects of formative assessment on student achievement. The study used student usage statistics from an online formative assessment program to examine the effect of formative assessment on student growth scores from end-of-grade summative assessments. The major findings of this study suggest that formative assessments are positively related to student achievement in reading and mathematics. Results suggest that short-cycle reading formative assessments result in positive gains for students in reading. Both student and school-level short-cycle reading formative assessment frequency were observed to have a positive effect on student achievement in reading. The results from this study also suggest that long-cycle mathematics formative assessments may result in positive gains for students. The interaction between student and school-level long-cycle mathematics assessment frequency suggested that students who attend schools that administer a greater number of long-cycle mathematics formative assessments experience positive gains in mathematics achievement. In addition, short-cycle mathematics formative assessments seem to have a particularly stronger positive effect on the achievement of students who are economically disadvantaged.

description: Sequential allocation is a simple and attractive mechanism for the allocation of indivisible goods. Agents take turns, according to a policy, to pick items. Sequential allocation is guaranteed to return an allocation which is efficient but may not have an optimal social welfare. We consider therefore the relation between welfare and efficiency. We study the (computational) questions of what welfare is possible or necessary depending on the choice of policy. We also consider a novel control problem in which the chair chooses a policy to improve social welfare.

The effect of music on tibial accelerations in recreationally active runners
Creators: name: O'Leary, Colin Burke
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of music on the peak tibial acceleration (PTA) and loading rate (LR) during running, along with other secondary physiological stresses. Thirty college-aged recreationally active subjects completed one continuous 30-minute treadmill bout at a self-selected intensity, with 15 minutes spent listening to music. The music order was counterbalanced. PTA, LR, heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and feeling score (FS) were assessed every 3 minutes. Salivary cortisol was assessed before, during, and post-exercise. There was no difference between music and no music conditions for PTA, LR, HR, RPE, or cortisol (p>0.05). FS was significantly greater when listening to music (p<0.005), indicating more enjoyment. In conclusion, listening to music increases feelings of wellbeing but is not enough of a distracting stimulus to alter the biomechanics or physiological stress of running, indicating no heightened risk of injury.

An unconditionally energy stable finite difference scheme for a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation
Creators: name: Li, Xiao
name: Qiao, Zhonghua
name: Zhang, Hui
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this work, the MMC-TDGL equation, a stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation is solved numerically by using the finite difference method in combination with a convex splitting technique of the energy functional. For the non-stochastic case, we develop an unconditionally energy stable difference scheme which is proved to be uniquely solvable. For the stochastic case, by adopting the same splitting of the energy functional, we construct a similar and uniquely solvable difference scheme with the discretized stochastic term. The resulted schemes are nonlinear and solved by Newton iteration. For the long time simulation, an adaptive time stepping strategy is developed based on both first- and second-order derivatives of the energy. Numerical experiments are carried out to verify the energy stability, the efficiency of the adaptive time stepping and the effect of the stochastic term.

Issues of voice range and transposition in Monteverdi's Mantuan madrigals
Creators: name: Gibbons, William James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: The five-voice madrigal books of Claudio Monteverdi have long been regarded as masterworks of the genre, and have received much attention from musicologists. In the past, however, scholars have largely considered the books from an abstract, non-performative standpoint, and so have to an extent ignored the important information that can be gained through exploration of the more performative aspects of the compositions. This study aims at examining the voice ranges of Monteverdi's Mantuan madrigals from the standpoint of what they can tell us about the singers for whom Monteverdi was writing and about his changing style of vocal writing in the critical transition from the sixteenth to seventeenth centuries. In addition, through a more detailed examination of the Sixth Book, I suggest how this type of study might be further used in the future to help decide issues of uncertain chronology.

The role of RasGRP3 in the embryonic response to phorbol esters and diabetes
Creators: name: Fried, Joanna H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: RasGRP3 is a novel endothelial diacylglycerol (DAG) receptor expressed in developing blood vessels. Because DAG levels are elevated in diabetes, I hypothesized a role for RasGRP3 in the embryonic response to disrupted DAG signaling. Using whole embryo culture, I ascertained differences between wildtype embryos and embryos genetically deleted for RasGRP3 exposed to excess glucose or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a compound that mimics the effects of diacylglycerol. Wildtype embryos exhibited numerous vascular and nonvascular defects when cultured with excess glucose and increased severity of defects when cultured with PMA, most notably in the yolk sac vasculature. Deletion of RasGRP3 partially protected embryos from defects experienced by wildtype embryos cultured with PMA or glucose. I also analyzed embryos developing in a maternal diabetic environment induced by streptozotocin injection. In this system, wildtype embryos had defects similar to those seen in embryo culture studies, while embryos deleted for RasGRP3 were partially protected.

description: This document provides the theoretical basis for the Sentinel-3 OLCI IdePix. IdePix stands for Identification of Pixel properties and is a multi-sensor pixel identification tool available as a SNAP (Sentinel Application Platform) plugin. IdePix provides pixel identification algorithms for a wide variety of sensors like Sentinel-2 MSI, Sentinel-3 OLCI, MERIS, Landsat-8, MODIS, VIIRS, Proba-V or SPOT VGT. IdePix for Sentinel-3 OLCI classifies pixels of L1b products into a series of categories (flags) for further processing using a mono-temporal approach and background information. The Sentinel-3 OLCI IdePix derives cloud flags on two confidence levels, as well as cloud shadow, mountain shadow, snow/ice and water flags. This Algorithmic Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD) provides a scientific description of the methods used
