Osteoporosis in Men: An Increasing Concern
Creators: name: Bethune, Mary Scott
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Osteoporosis in men is an under-diagnosed condition related to aging, which surfaces in the presence of fractures. Because it is a disease more commonly associated with women, its impact on men is less understood. Men make up 20% of the population diagnosed with osteoporosis. As the population ages, osteoporosis and associated fractures will impact public health in costs of treatment and recovery, and in costs related to long-term care. Standards used to diagnose osteoporosis and determine fracture risk in women were not established with men in the baseline population, so controversy exists in using the same diagnostic tools to determine fracture risk in men. More studies are necessary to determine if use of these measures can accurately diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk in men.

description: In 1962, Erdős proved a theorem on the existence of Hamilton cycles in graphs with given minimum degree and number of edges. Significantly strengthening in case of balanced bipartite graphs, Moon and Moser proved a corresponding theorem in 1963. In this paper we establish several spectral analogues of Moon and Moser's theorem on Hamilton paths in balanced bipartite graphs and nearly balanced bipartite graphs. One main ingredient of our proofs is a structural result of its own interest, involving Hamilton paths in balanced bipartite graphs with given minimum degree and number of edges.

Deep learning and geochemical modelling as tools for solute geothermometry

description: Geothermometry is constituted as one of the most important geochemical tools for reservoir exploration and development. Solute geothermometers are used to estimate the temperature in the subsurface. Therefore, the chemical composition of a discharging geothermal fluid is used to infer the temperature of the reservoir. Conventional solute geothermometers are using element ration or single mineral phases for reservoir temperature estimation. These geothermometers have large uncertainties applying them on the same fluid sample. Therefore, a new method called multicomponent geothermometry was introduced. Assuming the reservoir rock and the geothermal fluid are in equilibrium, the mineral assemblage of the reservoir rock is used to determine the temperature within the reservoir. Thus, the temperature-dependent saturation indices of the mineral set are calculated. Utilising multiple mineral phases for temperature estimation leads to a statistically more robust and precise result than the conventional method. Nevertheless, secondary processes such as boiling, degassing, and dilution are disturbing the equilibrium reaction within the fluid. Hence, we developed a solute multicomponent geothermometer with an additional optimisation process. Geochemical modelling improves the methodology. Several interdependent, vulnerable parameters especially pH value, aluminium concentration, as well as boiling, and dilution are considered. These parameters are elaborated in the geochemical modelling process to optimise these values to fit their in-situ reservoir conditions again. Therefore, the uncertainty within the temperature estimation is furthermore reduced. However, this process is time-consuming, and geochemical as well as mineralogical knowledge would be beneficial for applying the method. On the other hand, artificial intelligence is a powerful tool to solve complex issues, even considering unknowns. Therefore, we developed a new adequate solute geothermometer based on an artificial neuronal network. Selected geochemical fluid parameters are used as input parameters. Further on, the net was trained and validated with a high-quality dataset. The best performing net was tested and compared to conventional and multicomponent geothermometers as well as in-situ temperature measurements of geothermal wells. Concluding in a neuronal solute geothermometer as precise as our optimised multicomponent geothermometer but much easier and faster in its applicability.

description: {\it Kepler} satellite photometry and phase-resolved spectroscopy of the ultracompact AM CVn type binary SDSS J190817.07+394036.4 are presented. The average spectra reveal a variety of weak metal lines of different species, including silicon, sulphur and magnesium as well as many lines of nitrogen, beside the strong absorption lines of neutral helium. The phase-folded spectra and the Doppler tomograms reveal an S-wave in emission in the core of the He I 4471 Å\,absorption line at a period of $P_{\rm orb}=1085.7\pm2.8$\,sec identifying this as the orbital period of the system. The Si II, Mg II and the core of some He I lines show an S-wave in absorption with a phase offset of $170\pm15^\circ$ compared to the S-wave in emission. The N II, Si III and some helium lines do not show any phase variability at all. The spectroscopic orbital period is in excellent agreement with a period at $P_{\rm orb}=1085.108(9)$\,sec detected in the three year {\it Kepler} lightcurve. A Fourier analysis of the Q6 to Q17 short cadence data obtained by {\it Kepler} revealed a large number of frequencies above the noise level where the majority shows a large variability in frequency and amplitude. In an O-C analysis we measured a $\vert\dot{P}\vert\sim1.0\,$x$\,10^{-8}\,$s\,s$^{-1}$ for some of the strongest variations and set a limit for the orbital period to be $\vert\dot{P}\vert<10^{-10}$s\,s$^{-1}$. The shape of the phase folded lightcurve on the orbital period indicates the motion of the bright spot. Models of the system were constructed to see whether the phases of the radial velocity curves and the lightcurve variation can be combined to a coherent picture. However, from the measured phases neither the absorption nor the emission can be explained to originate in the bright spot.

Preventing Preterm Birth/Improving Pregnancy Outcomes: Role of the Local Health Department
Creators: name: Nichols, Katherine V.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Preterm birth and poor pregnancy outcomes have been recognized as public health issues for decades and public health has provided leadership for improving pregnancy outcomes. Preterm birth is the most prevalent among the three major conditions considered to be poor pregnancy outcomes: preterm birth, low birth weight and congenital anomalies. Despite intensive and expensive prevention efforts, the prevalence of preterm birth in the United States has increased since the 1980's. Secondary and tertiary prevention efforts have made significant improvements in the intact survival of prematurely born infants, but the numbers of these infants have continued to increase. Annual costs of prematurity in the United States are conservatively estimated at $26 billion. Access to and improved utilization of prenatal care has been the focus of prevention efforts of the decades during which the prevalence of prematurity has continued to increase. Far too many women lack adequate health care prior to pregnancy and enter pregnancy with existing risks for poor outcomes. A change in the focus on care during the reproductive years to preconception and interconception care is needed so that women are in better physical and mental health as they begin pregnancy.

description: In addition to the implementation of parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric optical systems by carefully and actively controlling the gain and loss, we show that a $2\times 2$ $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian has a unitarily equivalent representation without complex optical potentials in the resulting optical coupler. Through the Naimark dilation in operator algebra, passive $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric couplers can thus be implemented with a refractive index of real values and asymmetric coupling coefficients. This opens up the possibility to implement general $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems with state-of-the-art asymmetric slab waveguides, dissimilar optical fibers, or cavities with chiral mirrors.

description: In this paper, we use two model-independent methods to standardize long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the $E_{\rm iso}-E_{\rm p}$ correlation, where $E_{\rm iso}$ is the isotropic-equivalent gamma-ray energy and $E_{\rm p}$ is the spectral peak energy. We update 42 long GRBs and try to make constraint on cosmological parameters. The full sample contains 151 long GRBs with redshifts from 0.0331 to 8.2. The first method is the simultaneous fitting method. The extrinsic scatter $σ_{\rm ext}$ is taken into account and assigned to the parameter $E_{\rm iso}$. The best-fitting values are $a=49.15\pm0.26$, $b=1.42\pm0.11$, $σ_{\rm ext}=0.34\pm0.03$ and $Ω_m=0.79$ in the flat $Λ$CDM model. The constraint on $Ω_m$ is $0.55

description: Massive MIMO is envisioned as a promising technology for 5G wireless networks due to its high potential to improve both spectral and energy efficiency. Although the massive MIMO system is based on innovations in the physical layer, the upper layer techniques also play important roles in harvesting the performance gains of massive MIMO. In this article, we begin with an analysis of the benefits and challenges of massive MIMO systems. We then investigate the multi-layer techniques for incorporating massive MIMO in several important network deployment scenarios. We conclude this article with a discussion of open and potential problems for future research.

We analyze the temporal and topical signature of users' sharing behaviour, showing how they exhibit distinct behaviorial patterns on different networks. We also examine cross-sharing (i.e., the act of user broadcasting their activity to multiple OSNs near-simultaneously), a previously-unstudied behaviour and demonstrate how certain OSNs play the roles of originating source and destination sinks.

description: In arXiv:1508.01343 [hep-th], one of the authors proposed that in AdS/CFT the gravity dual of the boundary $c$-theorem is the second law of thermodynamics satisfied by causal horizons in AdS and this was verified for Einstein gravity in the bulk. In this paper we verify this for higher derivative theories. We pick up theories for which an entropy expression satisfying the second law exists and show that the entropy density evaluated on the causal horizon in a RG flow geometry is a holographic c-function. We also prove that given a theory of gravity described by a local covariant action in the bulk a sufficient condition to ensure holographic c-theorem is that the second law of causal horizon thermodynamics be satisfied by the theory. This allows us to explicitly construct holographic c-function in a theory where there is curvature coupling between gravity and matter and standard null energy condition cannot be defined although second law is known to hold. Based on the duality between c-theorem and the second law of causal horizon thermodynamics proposed in arXiv:1508.01343 [hep-th] and the supporting calculations of this paper we conjecture that every Unitary higher derivative theory of gravity in AdS satisfies the second law of causal horizon thermodynamics. If this is not true then c-theorem will be violated in a unitary Lorentz invariant field theory.

description: Designing functional foods as delivery systems may become a tailored strategy to decrease the risk of non-communicable diseases. Therefore, this work aims to optimise a combination of t-resveratrol (RES), chlorogenic acid (CHA), and quercetin (QUE) based on antioxidant assays and develop a functional tea formulation enriched with the optimal polyphenol combination (OPM). Experimental results showed that the antioxidant capacity of these compounds is assay- and compound-dependent. A mixture containing 73% RES and 27% QUE maximised the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and FRAP. OPM upregulated the gene expressions of heme oxygenase-1, superoxide dismutase, and catalase and decreased the reactive oxygen species generation in L929 fibroblasts. Adding OPM (100 mg/L) to a chamomile tea increased FRAP:39%, DPPH:59%; total phenolic content: 57%, iron reducing capacity: 41%, human plasma protection against oxidation: 67%. However, pasteurisation (63 ◦C/30 min) decreased only the DPPH. Combining technology, engineering, and cell biology was effective for functional tea design.

description: Macroscopic realism is the name for a class of modifications to quantum theory that allow macroscopic objects to be described in a measurement-independent manner, while largely preserving a fully quantum mechanical description of the microscopic world. Objective collapse theories are examples which aim to solve the quantum measurement problem through modified dynamical laws. Whether such theories describe nature, however, is not known. Here we describe and implement an experimental protocol capable of constraining theories of this class, that is more noise tolerant and conceptually transparent than the original Leggett-Garg test. We implement the protocol in a superconducting flux qubit, and rule out (by ~84 s.d.) those theories which would deny coherent superpositions of 170 nA currents over a ~10 ns timescale. Further, we address the 'clumsiness loophole' by determining classical disturbance with control experiments. Our results constitute strong evidence for the superposition of states of nontrivial macroscopic distinctness.

description: In this second paper in the series, we investigate occurrence frequencies of apparent unipolar processes, cancellation, and emergence of patch structures in quiet regions. Apparent unipolar events are considerably more frequent than cancellation and emergence as per our definition, which is consistent with Lamb et al. (2013). Furthermore, we investigate the frequency distributions of changes in flux during apparent unipolar processes are and found that they concentrate around the detection limit of the analysis. Combining these findings with the results of our previous paper, Iida et al. (2012), that merging and splitting are more dominant than emergence and cancellation, these results support the understanding that apparent unipolar processes are actually interactions with and among patches below the detection limit and that there still are numerous flux interactions between the flux range in this analysis and below the detection limit. We also investigate occurrence frequency distributions of flux decrease during cancellation. We found a relatively strong dependence, 2.48$\pm$0:26 as a power-law index. This strong dependence on flux is consistent with the model, which is suggested in the previous paper.

description: We investigate the impact of astrophysical systematics on cosmic shear cosmological parameter constraints from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS), and the concordance with cosmic microwave background measurements by Planck. We present updated CFHTLenS cosmic shear tomography measurements extended to degree scales using a covariance calibrated by a new suite of N-body simulations. We analyze these measurements with a new model fitting pipeline, accounting for key systematic uncertainties arising from intrinsic galaxy alignments, baryonic effects in the nonlinear matter power spectrum, and photometric redshift uncertainties. We examine the impact of the systematic degrees of freedom on the cosmological parameter constraints, both independently and jointly. When the systematic uncertainties are considered independently, the intrinsic alignment amplitude is the only degree of freedom that is substantially preferred by the data. When the systematic uncertainties are considered jointly, there is no consistently strong preference in favor of the more complex models. We quantify the level of concordance between the CFHTLenS and Planck datasets by employing two distinct data concordance tests, grounded in Bayesian evidence and information theory. We find that the two data concordance tests largely agree with one another, and that the level of concordance between the CFHTLenS and Planck datasets is sensitive to the exact details of the systematic uncertainties included in our analysis, ranging from decisive discordance to substantial concordance as the treatment of the systematic uncertainties becomes more conservative. The least conservative scenario is the one most favored by the cosmic shear data, but it is also the one that shows the greatest degree of discordance with Planck.

description: We construct a relationship between integral and differential representation of second-order Jordan chains. Conditions to obtain regular potentials through the confluent supersymmetry algorithm when working with the differential representation are obtained using this relationship. Furthermore, it is used to find normalization constants of wave functions of quantum systems that feature energy-dependent potentials. Additionally, this relationship is used to express certain integrals involving functions that are solution of Schrodinger equations through derivatives.

description: Combining the covariant coalescence model and a blast-wave-like analytical parametrization for (anti-)nucleon phase-space freezeout configuration, we explore light (anti-)nucleus production in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV. Using the nucleon freezeout configuration (denoted by FO1) determined from the measured spectra of protons (p), deutrons (d) and $^{3}$He, we find the predicted yield of $^{4}$He is significantly smaller than the experimental data. We show this disagreement can be removed by using a nucleon freezeout configuration (denoted by FO2) in which the nucleons are assumed to freeze out earlier than those in FO1 to effectively consider the effect of large binding energy value of $^{4}$He. Assuming the binding energy effect also exists for the production of $^5\text{Li}$, $^5\overline{\text{Li}}$, $^6\text{Li}$ and $^6\overline{\text{Li}}$ due to their similar binding energy values as $^{4}$He, we find the yields of these heavier (anti-)nuclei can be enhanced by a factor of about one order, implying that although the stable (anti-)$^6$Li nucleus is unlikely to be observed, the unstable (anti-)$^5$Li nucleus could be produced in observable abundance in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV where it may be identified through the p-$^4\text{He}$ ($\overline{\text{p}}$-$^4\overline{\text{He}}$) invariant mass spectrum. The future experimental measurement on (anti-)$^5\text{Li}$ would be very useful to understand the production mechanism of heavier antimatter.

description: Since NGC300 is a bulge-less, isolated low-mass galaxy and has not experienced radial migration during its evolution history, it can be treated as an ideal laboratory to test simple galactic chemical evolution models. By assuming its disk forms gradually from continuous accretion of primordial gas and including the gas-outflow process, we construct a simple chemical evolution model for NGC300 to build a bridge between its SFH and its observed data, especially the present-day radial profiles and global observed properties (e.g., cold gas mass, star-formation rate and metallicity). By means of comparing the model predictions with the corresponding observations, we adopt the classical $χ^{2}$ methodology to find out the best combination of free parameters $a$, $b$ and $b_{\rm out}$. Our results show that, by assuming an inside-out formation scenario and an appropriate outflow rate, our model reproduces well most of the present-day observational values, not only the radial profiles but also the global observational data for the NGC300 disk. Our results suggest that NGC300 may experience a rapid growth of its disk. Through comparing the best-fitting model predicted SFH of NGC300 with that of M33, we find that the mean stellar age of NGC300 is older than that of M33 and there is a lack of primordial gas infall onto the disk of NGC300 recently. Our results also imply that the local environment may paly a key role in the secular evolution of NGC300.

description: In this paper, we propose a mathematical model to describe the functioning of a bioreactor landfill, that is a waste management facility in which biodegradable waste is used to generate methane. The simulation of a bioreactor landfill is a very complex multiphysics problem in which bacteria catalyze a chemical reaction that starting from organic carbon leads to the production of methane, carbon dioxide and water. The resulting model features a heat equation coupled with a non-linear reaction equation describing the chemical phenomena under analysis and several advection and advection-diffusion equations modeling multiphase flows inside a porous environment representing the biodegradable waste. A framework for the approximation of the model is implemented using Feel++, a C++ open-source library to solve Partial Differential Equations. Some heuristic considerations on the quantitative values of the parameters in the model are discussed and preliminary numerical simulations are presented.

description: The properties of the two-dimensional cavity polaritons subjected to the action of a strong perpendicular magnetic and electric fields, giving rise to the Landau quantization (LQ) of the 2D electrons and holes accompanied by the Rashba spin-orbit coupling, by the Zeeman splitting and by the nonparabolicity of the heavy-hole dispersion law are investigated. We use the method proposed by Rashba [1] and the obtained results are based on the exact solutions for the eigenfunctions and for the eigenvalues of the Pauli-type Hamilonians with third order chirality terms and nonparabolic dispersion law for heavy-holes and with the first order chirality terms for electrons. The selection rules of the band-to-band optical quantum transitions as well as of the quantum transitions from the ground state of the crystal to the magnetoexciton states depend essentially on the numbers $n_{e}$ and $n_{h}$ of the LQ levels of the (e-h) pair forming the magnetoexciton. It is shown that the Rabi frequency $Ω_{R}$ of the polariton branches and the magnetoexciton oscillator strength $f_{osc}$ increase with the magnetic field strength $B$ as $Ω_{R}\sim \sqrt{B}$, and $f_{osc}\sim B$. The optical gyrotropy effects may be revealed changing the sign of the photon circular polarization at a given sign of the wave vector longitudinal projection $k_{z}$ or eqivalently changing the sign of $k_{z}$ at the same selected circular polarization.

description: Finite-state models, such as finite-state machines (FSMs), aid software engineering in many ways. They are often used in formal verification and also can serve as visual software models. The latter application is associated with the problems of software synthesis and automatic derivation of software models from specification. Smaller synthesized models are more general and are easier to comprehend, yet the problem of minimum FSM identification has received little attention in previous research. This paper presents four exact methods to tackle the problem of minimum FSM identification from a set of test scenarios and a temporal specification represented in linear temporal logic. The methods are implemented as an open-source tool. Three of them are based on translations of the FSM identification problem to SAT or QSAT problem instances. Accounting for temporal properties is done via counterexample prohibition. Counterexamples are either obtained from previously identified FSMs, or based on bounded model checking. The fourth method uses backtracking. The proposed methods are evaluated on several case studies and on a larger number of randomly generated instances of increasing complexity. The results show that the Iterative SAT-based method is the leader among the proposed methods. The methods are also compared with existing inexact approaches, i.e. the ones which do not necessarily identify the minimum FSM, and these comparisons show encouraging results.

description: Webtoons, a portmanteau of web and cartoon, are a digital media form originating from South Korea that has recently garnered international attention and popularity. As a media form that is created, published, and consumed all digitally, webtoons have become a unique South Korean cultural product. This report aims to examine how South Korean webtoons became popular intentionally through an analysis of webtoon scanlation groups. Scanlation, a portmanteau of scan translation, is the process of fan-made scanning, translating, and editing a media form; webtoon scanlation groups are involved in this process of creation, but also in the distribution of webtoons. By examining scanlation groups via the lenses of platformization, participatory fandom, and gift economies, the growth of popularity and readership of South Korean webtoons can be explained.

description: In this proceedings some studies on the prospects of single top production at the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) and double Higgs production at the Future Circular Hadron Electron Collider (FCC-he) shall be presented. In particular, we investigated the $tbW$ couplings via single top quark production with the introduction of possible anomalous Lorentz structures, and measured the sensitivity of the Higgs self coupling ($λ$) through double Higgs production. The studies are performed with 60 GeV electrons colliding with 7 (50) TeV protons for the LHeC (FCC-he). For the single top studies a parton level study has been performed, and we find the sensitivity of the anomalous coupling at a 95\% C.L, considering 10-1\% systematic errors. The double Higgs production has been studied with speculated detector parameters and the sensitivity of $λ$ estimated via the cross section study around the Standard Model Higgs self coupling strength ($λ_{SM}$) considering 5\% systematic error in signal and backgrounds. Effects of non-standard CP-even and CP-odd couplings for $hhh$, $hWW$ and $hhWW$ vertices have been studied and constrained at 95\% C.L.
