description: Available throughput performance studies for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) suffer from two major limitations: they mainly focus on the scaling law study of throughput, while the exact throughput of such networks remains largely unknown; they usually consider the infinite buffer scenarios, which are not applicable to the practical networks with limited buffer. As a step to address these limitations, this paper develops a general framework for the exact throughput capacity study of a class of buffer-limited MANETs with the two-hop relay. We first provide analysis to reveal how the throughput capacity of such a MANET is determined by its relay-buffer blocking probability (RBP). Based on the Embedded Markov Chain Theory and Queuing Theory, a novel theoretical framework is then developed to enable the RBP and closed-form expression for exact throughput capacity to be derived. We further conduct case studies under two typical transmission scheduling schemes to illustrate the applicability of our framework and to explore the corresponding capacity optimization as well as capacity scaling law. Finally, extensive simulation and numerical results are provided to validate the efficiency of our framework and to show the impacts brought by the buffer constraint.

Year: 2018

description: This study evaluates knowledge, confidence, and practice behaviors of 64 Accelerated Bachelor of Nursing first–year students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill regarding preventive oral health services. Using a pre–post survey–study design, students completed oral–health–related–questionnaires following didactic and clinical–simulation on oral health principles and preventive services. Fifty–five (86%) students completed the pre–survey, 49 (77%) completed the post–survey following clinical rotations five months later; 44 (69%) completed both. Participants’ showed a significant increase in knowledge from pre–post–questionnaires for two of five questions (p=0.04; p<0.0001). Confidence for screenings (p<0.0001) and counseling (p=0.006) increased; while referrals decreased (p=0.718). Post–intervention, 37% reported performing screenings, 45% counseling, and 8% referrals. Respondents reported significant increase in willingness to implement preventive services in clinical visits (p<0.0001). Mixed educational methods can successfully influence knowledge, confidence and willingness to perform in clinical practice.

description: We consider a Weyl-invariant formulation of gravity with a cosmological constant in d-dimensional spacetime and show that near two dimensions the classical action reduces to the timelike Liouville action. We show that the renormalized cosmological term leads to a nonlocal quantum momentum tensor which satisfies theWard identities in a nontrivial way. The resulting evolution equations for an isotropic, homogeneous universe lead to a slowly decaying vacuum energy and a power-law expansion. We outline the implications for the cosmological constant problem, inflation, and dark energy.

description: Argonium has recently been detected as a ubiquitous molecule in our Galaxy. Model calculations indicate that its abundance peaks at molecular fractions in the range of 1E-4 to 1E-3 and that the observed column densities require high values of the cosmic ray ionization rate. Therefore, this molecular cation may serve as an excellent tracer of the very diffuse interstellar medium (ISM), as well as an indicator of the cosmic ray ionization rate. We attempted to detect ArH+ in extragalactic sources to evaluate its diagnostic power as a tracer of the almost purely atomic ISM in distant galaxies. We obtained ALMA observations of a foreground galaxy at z = 0.89 in the direction of the lensed blazar PKS 1830-211. Two isotopologs of argonium, 36ArH+ and 38ArH+, were detected in absorption along two different lines of sight toward PKS 1830-211, known as the SW and NE images of the background blazar. The argonium absorption is clearly enhanced on the more diffuse line of sight (NE) compared to other molecular species. The isotopic ratio 36Ar/38Ar is 3.46 +- 0.16 toward the SW image, i.e., significantly lower than the solar value of 5.5. Our results demonstrate the suitability of argonium as a tracer of the almost purely atomic, diffuse ISM in high-redshift sources. The evolution of the isotopic ratio with redshift may help to constrain nucleosynthetic scenarios in the early Universe.

description: The prevalence of depressive episodes has been steadily increasing over the past few years, with adolescent girls being twice as likely to report depressive symptoms or present a clinical diagnosis of depression in comparison to adolescent boys. This brings about the question of what is so significant about adolescence and factors during this period that impacts mental health development for girls. This study uses data from an ongoing longitudinal project, TAG (Transitions in Adolescent Girls) to examine the effects of social support (i.e. friends versus family) and self-complexity on depressive symptoms in a sample of adolescent girls (N = 174) aged 10 to 13.

description: This is the first of a series of papers on the Infrared Database of Extragalactic Observables from Spitzer (IDEOS). In this work we describe the identification of optical counterparts of the infrared sources detected in Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) observations, and the acquisition and validation of redshifts. The IDEOS sample includes all the spectra from the Cornell Atlas of Spitzer/IRS Sources (CASSIS) of galaxies beyond the Local Group. Optical counterparts were identified from correlation of the extraction coordinates with the NASA Extragalactic Database (NED). To confirm the optical association and validate NED redshifts, we measure redshifts with unprecedented accuracy on the IRS spectra (σ(dz/(1+z))=0.0011) by using an improved version of the maximum combined pseudo-likelihood method (MCPL). We perform a multi-stage verification of redshifts that considers alternate NED redshifts, the MCPL redshift, and visual inspection of the IRS spectrum. The statistics is as follows: the IDEOS sample contains 3361 galaxies at redshift 0

description: In arXiv:1407.7580 a mechanism to fix the closed string moduli in a de Sitter minimum was proposed: a D-term potential generates a linear relation between the volumes of two rigid divisors which in turn produces at lower energies a race-track potential with de Sitter minima at exponentially large volume. In this paper, we systematically search for implementations of this mechanism among all toric Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces with $h^{1,1}\leq 4$ from the Kreuzer-Skarke list. For these, topological data can be computed explicitly allowing us to find the subset of three-folds which have two rigid toric divisors that do not intersect each other and that are orthogonal to $h^{1,1}-2$ independent four-cycles. These manifolds allow to find D7-brane configurations compatible with the de Sitter uplift mechanism and we find an abundance of consistent choices of D7-brane fluxes inducing D-terms leading to a de Sitter minimum. Finally, we work out a couple of models in detail, checking the global consistency conditions and computing the value of the potential at the minimum.

description: Surgical performance is the result of a complex combination of technological, human and organizational factors, leading to an overall risk of 12% preventable complications. The progress made in perioperative management (anesthesia and resuscitation) has made it possible to make surgical procedures safer and to reduce the vital risk caused by complications. Technical progress in medical devices has also made it possible to reduce complications. However, all these aspects are technical and based on introducing a technology at the service of patients. The surgical intervention and the management around it remain managed by humans with all the individual and organizational factors that can influence patient outcome. Until now, the identification of risk factors for surgical complications has mainly focused on the determinants linked to the patient's comorbidities and the type of surgical procedure proposed. However, postoperative complications are only partially explained by these determinants and depend concomitantly on organizational parameters linked to the operating room environment, which remain not well known today. Indeed, these parameters have been poorly quantified and most of published studies essentially regards qualitative investigations with few statistical association with clinical implications for patients

Female lead characters as examples of Bildungsroman heroines in L'Amour, la fantasia by Assia Djebar and Les yeux baissés by Tahar Ben Jelloun
Creators: name: Akman, Bilgen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This thesis presents two Maghrebian novels written in French that share aspects of the Bildungsroman tradition. This reading via the lens of the Bildungsroman underscores the importance of the choice of a young female central character. The novels are subjected to a close reading that focuses on the female characters as they journey towards adulthood. The first novel, Assia Djebar's L'Amour, la fantasia, chronicles the story of Djebar's upbringing interspersed with stories depicting Algeria's colonial history. The second novel, Les Yeux baissés by Tahar Ben Jelloun, focuses on a young female immigrant coming-of-age while coping with the in-betweenness created by her migration. These contemporary novels are shown to be examples of an evolved genre that utilizes elements of the Bildungsroman. Despite being part of a new novel form these French-language Maghrebian novels have adapted the symbolic nature of the traditional Bildungsroman genre.

End-to-end delay in two hop relay MANETs with limited buffer

description: Despite lots of literature has been dedicated to researching the delay performance in two-hop relay (2HR) mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), however, they usually assume the buffer size of each node is infinite, so these studies are not applicable to and thus may not reflect the real delay performance of a practical MANET with limited buffer. To address this issue, in this paper we explore the packet end-to-end delay in a 2HR MANET, where each node is equipped with a bounded and shared relay-buffer for storing and forwarding packets of all other flows. The transmission range of each node can be adjusted and a group-based scheduling scheme is adopted to avoid interference between simultaneous transmissions, meanwhile a handshake mechanism is added to the 2HR routing algorithm to avoid packet loss. With the help of Markov Chain Theory and Queuing Theory, we develop a new framework to fully characterize the packet delivery processes, and obtain the relay-buffer blocking probability (RBP) under any given exogenous packet input rate. Based on the RBP, we can compute the packet queuing delay in its source node and delivery delay respectively, and further derive the end-to-end delay in such a MANET with limited buffer.

Spontaneous Recovery of Superhydrophobicity on Nanotextured Surfaces

description: Rough or textured hydrophobic surfaces are dubbed superhydrophobic due to their numerous desirable properties, such as water repellency and interfacial slip. Superhydrophobicity stems from an aversion for water to wet the surface texture, so that a water droplet in the superhydrophobic "Cassie state", contacts only the tips of the rough hydrophobic surface. However, superhydrophobicity is remarkably fragile, and can break down due to the wetting of the surface texture to yield the "Wenzel state" under various conditions, such as elevated pressures or droplet impact. Moreover, due to large energetic barriers that impede the reverse (dewetting) transition, this breakdown in superhydrophobicity is widely believed to be irreversible. Using molecular simulations in conjunction with enhanced sampling techniques, here we show that on surfaces with nanoscale texture, water density fluctuations can lead to a reduction in the free energetic barriers to dewetting by circumventing the classical dewetting pathways. In particular, the fluctuation-mediated dewetting pathway involves a number of transitions between distinct dewetted morphologies, with each transition lowering the resistance to dewetting. Importantly, an understanding of the mechanistic pathways to dewetting and their dependence on pressure, allows us to augment the surface texture design, so that the barriers to dewetting are eliminated altogether and the Wenzel state becomes unstable at ambient conditions. Such robust surfaces, which defy classical expectations and can spontaneously recover their superhydrophobicity, could have widespread importance, from underwater operation to phase change heat transfer applications.

description: Exoplanet detections have revolutionized astronomy, offering new insights into solar system architecture and planet demographics. While nearly 1900 exoplanets have now been discovered and confirmed, none are still in the process of formation. Transition discs, protoplanetary disks with inner clearings best explained by the influence of accreting planets, are natural laboratories for the study of planet formation. Some transition discs show evidence for the presence of young planets in the form of disc asymmetries or infrared sources detected within their clearings, as in the case of LkCa 15. Attempts to observe directly signatures of accretion onto protoplanets have hitherto proven unsuccessful. Here we report adaptive optics observations of LkCa 15 that probe within the disc clearing. With accurate source positions over multiple epochs spanning 2009 - 2015, we infer the presence of multiple companions on Keplerian orbits. We directly detect Hα emission from the innermost companion, LkCa 15 b, evincing hot (~10,000 K) gas falling deep into the potential well of an accreting protoplanet.

Russian public opinion and its role in the security policy between Russia, the European Union, and NATO
Creators: name: Riester, Jessica Leigh

Year: 2006

description: This thesis focuses on security and defense policy between NATO, the European Union, and Russia in the period following the end of the Cold War and, in particular, the beginning of the 21st century. It looks at relations between the EU and Russia, NATO and Russia, and the EU and NATO in terms of the institutional framework and interests of each actor. It then goes on to examine the influence of Russian public opinion on foreign policy-making. The perceived discrepancy between Russian public opinion and policy regarding NATO and the European Union is examined here; that is, policy seems to favor NATO, while the public favors the EU. However, it will be proven that it is not so much a discrepancy as a utilization of organizations to put forward Russia’s interests, on which both the public and the policy elites agree.
Rotating cylindrical wormholes: a no-go theorem

description: The existing solutions to the Einstein equations describing rotating cylindrical wormholes are not asymptotically flat and therefore cannot describe wormhole entrances as local objects in our Universe. To overcome this difficulty, flat asymptotic regions are added to wormhole solutions by matching them at some surfaces $Σ_-$ and $Σ_+$. It is shown, however, that if the wormhole solution is obtained for scalar fields with arbitrary potentials, possibly interacting with an azimuthal electric or magnetic field, then the matter content of one or both thin shells appearing on $Σ_-$ and $Σ_+$ violate the Null Energy Condition. Thus exotic matter is still necessary for obtaining a twice asymptotically flat wormhole.

We study in detail the top-charm flavour-changing interaction, by investigating the single top plus large missing energy signature at the LHC as well as constraints from the relic density and direct and indirect dark matter detection experiments. We present strategies to distinguish between the top-charm and top-up flavour-changing models by taking advantage of the lepton charge asymmetry as well as by using charm-tagging techniques on an extra jet. We also show the complementarity between the LHC and canonical dark matter experiments in exploring the viable parameter space of the models.

description: Aims: We evaluate the radial velocity (RV) information content and achievable precision on M0-M9 spectra covering the ZYJHK bands. We do so while considering both a perfect atmospheric transmission correction and discarding areas polluted by deep telluric features, as done in previous works. Methods: To simulate the M-dwarf spectra, PHOENIX-ACES model spectra were employed; they were convolved with rotational kernels and instrumental profiles to reproduce stars with a $v.sin{i}$ of 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 km/s when observed at resolutions of 60 000, 80 000, and 100 000. We considered the RV precision as calculated on the whole spectra, after discarding strongly polluted areas, and after applying a perfect telluric correction. In our simulations we paid particular attention to the details of the convolution and sampling of the spectra, and we discuss their impact on the final spectra. Results: Our simulations show that the most important parameter ruling the difference in attainable precision between the considered bands is the spectral type. For M0-M3 stars, the bands that deliver the most precise RV measurements are the Z, Y, and H band, with relative merits depending on the parameters of the simulation. For M6-M9 stars, the bands show a difference in precision that is within a factor of $\sim$2 and does not clearly depend on the band; this difference is reduced to a factor smaller than $\sim$1.5 if we consider a non-rotating star seen at high resolution. We also show that an M6-M9 spectrum will deliver a precision about two times better as an M0-M3 spectra with the same signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, we note that the details of modelling the Earth atmosphere and interpreting the results have a significant impact on which wavelength regions are discarded when setting a limit threshold at 2-3%.

description: We study the local indistinguishability of mutually orthogonal product basis quantum states in the high-dimensional quantum system. In the quantum system of $\mathbb{C}^d\otimes\mathbb{C}^d$, where $d$ is odd, Zhang \emph{et al} have constructed $d^2$ orthogonal product basis quantum states which are locally indistinguishable in [Phys. Rev. A. {\bf 90}, 022313(2014)]. We find a subset contains with $6d-9$ orthogonal product states which are still locally indistinguishable. Then we generalize our method to arbitrary bipartite quantum system $\mathbb{C}^m\otimes\mathbb{C}^n$. We present a small set with only $3(m+n)-9$ orthogonal product states and prove these states are LOCC indistinguishable. Even though these $3(m+n)-9$ product states are LOCC indistinguishable, they can be distinguished by separable measurements. This shows that separable operations are strictly stronger than the local operations and classical communication.

Finding freedom: Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt, and Herbert Marcuse on post-totalitarian politics
Creators: name: Fox, Lisa Courtney
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt and Herbert Marcuse are generally considered to be theorists quite distinct from one another. In this paper, I argue that there are notable similarities in their work, particularly with regards to their social and political critique of modern, technological society. Each of them emerged during World War II as social critics who attempted to trace the rise and success of totalitarian movements, while engaging with the most fundamental political issues of their times: collective action, the relationship of the individual to their society, and justice, among others. Using a selection of their most significant writings, I consider their views on freedom, rationality, and science and technology, along with their vision of politics, and emphasize their similar perspectives on these issues. I conclude with some deliberations about their core beliefs, and summarize the commitment of each to a post-totalitarian politics dedicated to the fulfillment of human potential.

English Literature and Network Analysis: Toward Networked Digital Humanities Pedagogy in the South Korean Higher Education System
Creators: name: Kim, Yongsoo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: English literature, network analysis, networked pedagogy, South Korean higher education

description: My digital humanities course titled “English Literature and Network Analysis” is part of the larger project of developing a networked digital humanities educational model at the undergraduate level in South Korea. This course is designed to provide English major students with an opportunity to study digital humanities by focusing on social network analysis methodology. Literature is filled with relationships between words, texts, characters, authors, genres, institutions, etc. These relationships can be effectively explored through network analysis, especially with the help of computer algorithms. Network analysis of literature involves natural language processing, data science, software literacy, data visualization as well as deep understanding of literary texts and conventions. This course will be launched in the spring semester of 2023 in the department of English language and literature, Hallym University. Students will have no prior experience of digital humanities, and so the course will be carefully designed to lead them to understand the relationship between literature and digital humanities, to study network analysis methodology, to apply the method to literary works, and to finally perform a DH project. My presentation will cover the course-development process, the actual implementation of the course, the course evaluation, and the future plan to develop a networked undergraduate course of “English Literature and Network Analysis” between the four major South Korean universities. Student projects will be exhibited and archived online on a course project website. This website will evolve into a platform that connects students of different universities in the coming years.

Ob Merita: the epigraphic rise and fall of the civic patrona in Roman North Africa
Creators: name: Bond, Sarah Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Approximately twelve hundred inscriptions attest to civic patrons within the Roman Empire, but only eighteen indicate that women received the honorary title of ‘patron of the community’ (patrona civitatis). The extant inscriptions are confined geographically to Italy, Africa Proconsularis, and Numidia, and are dated to between A.D. 180 and 350. The epigraphic record is the only evidence for the existence of civic patronae. This paper explores the interrelations, economic capabilities, and political ties of these women, focusing on the North African patronae civitatis. The epigraphic appearance of civic patronae was a product of a change in the institution of patronage to fit the economic needs of certain communities in Italy and North Africa, and their epigraphic disappearance denotes yet another shift in the mediation and commemorations of civic patronage. The ecclesiastical institutions that began to absorb communal responsibilities continued to commemorate female patrons, but in a more inconspicuous manner.

description: In this work we give a review of the original formulation of the relativistic wave equation for particles with spin one-half. Traditionally à la Dirac, it's proposed that the ``square root'' of the Klein-Gordon (K-G) equation involves a 4 component (Dirac) spinor and in the non-relativistic limit it can be written as 2 equations for two 2 component spinors. On the other hand, there exists Weyl's formalism, in which one works from the beginning with 2 component Weyl spinors, which are the fundamental objects of the helicity formalism. In this work we rederive Weyl's equations directly, starting from K-G equation. We also obtain the electromagnetic interaction through minimal coupling and we get the interaction with the magnetic moment. As an example of the use of that formalism, we calculate Compton scattering using the helicity methods.

description: We formulate uncertainty relations for arbitrary $N$ observables. Two uncertainty inequalities are presented in terms of the sum of variances and standard deviations, respectively. The lower bounds of the corresponding sum uncertainty relations are explicitly derived. These bounds are shown to be tighter than the ones such as derived from the uncertainty inequality for two observables [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 260401 (2014)]. Detailed examples are presented to compare among our results with some existing ones.
