description: Resonant cavities are one of the basic building blocks in various disciplines of science and technology, with numerous applications ranging from abstract theoretical modeling to everyday life devices. The eigenfrequencies of conventional cavities are a function of its geometry, and, thus, the size and shape of a resonant cavity is selected in order to operate at a specific frequency. Here, we demonstrate theoretically the existence of geometry-invariant resonant cavities, i.e., resonators whose eigenfrequency is invariant with respect to geometrical deformations. This effect is obtained by exploiting the unusual properties of zero-index metamaterials, which enable decoupling of the time and spatial field variations. This new class of resonators may inspire alternative design concepts, and it might lead to the first generation of deformable resonant devices.

Food Aid and War: The Role of Humanitarian Aid in the Duration of Civil Conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa
Creators: name: Leib, Alyssa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: In the following essay, I attempt to discern why it is that humanitarian aid results in an
increase in the length of conflict. First, I will survey the existing literature on the subject, drawing on the work of notable political scientists who have conducted research in fields of conflict and foreign aid, and determine where, precisely, my research fits into the gaps in the current pool of scholarship. Then, I will describe the theoretical causal mechanism used to explain why humanitarian aid increases conflict duration. Next, I will outline my research design and assess the empirical results. Finally, I consider two case studies as a means of qualitatively demonstrating the ways in which my findings can be applied.

description: Bell-like inequalities have been used in order to distinguish non-local quantum pure states by various authors. The behavior of such inequalities under Lorentz transformation has been a source of debate and controversies in the past. In this paper, we consider the two most commonly studied three-particle pure states, that of W and GHZ states which exhibit distinctly different type of entanglement. We discuss the various types of three-particle inequalities used in previous studies and point to their corresponding shortcomings and strengths. Our main result is that if one uses Czachor's relativistic spin operator and Svetlichny's inequality as the main measure of non-locality and uses the same angles in the rest frame ($S$) as well as the moving frame ($S^{\prime}$), then maximally violated inequality in $S$ will decrease in the moving frame, and will eventually lead to lack of non-locality ( i.e. satisfaction of inequality) in the $v \rightarrow c$ limit. This is shown for both the GHZ and W states and in two different configurations which are commonly studied (\textbf{Case $I$} and \textbf{Case $II$}). Our results are in line with a more familiar case of two particle case. We also show that the satisfaction of Svetlichny's inequality in the $v\rightarrow c$ limit is independent of initial particles' velocity. Our study shows that whenever we use Czachor's relativistic spin operator, results draws a clear picture of three-particle non-locality making its general properties consistent with previous studies on two-particle systems regardless of the W state or the GHZ state is involved.....

Variationally Optimized Free Energy Flooding for Rate Calculation

description: We propose a new method to obtain kinetic properties of infrequent events from molecular dynamics simulation. The procedure employs a recently introduced variational approach [Valsson and Parrinello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 090601 (2014)] to construct a bias potential as a function of several collective variables that is designed to flood only the associated free energy surface up to a predefined level. The resulting bias potential effectively accelerates transitions between metastable free energy minima while ensuring bias-free transition states, thus allowing accurate kinetic rates to be obtained. We test the method on a few illustrative systems for which we obtain an order of magnitude improvement in efficiency relative to previous approaches, and several orders of magnitude relative to unbiased molecular dynamics. We expect an even larger improvement in more complex systems. This and the ability of the variational approach to deal efficiently with a large number of collective variables will greatly enhance the scope of these calculations. This work is a vindication of the potential that the variational principle has if applied in innovative ways

description: Recently, diagrammatic extensions of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) have been proposed for including short- and long-range correlations beyond DMFT on an equal footing. We employ one of these, the dynamical vertex approximation (D$Γ$A), and study the two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice. We define two transition lines in the phase diagram which correspond, respectively, to the opening of the gap in the nodal direction and throughout the Fermi surface. Our self-energy data show that the evolution between the two regimes occurs in a gradual way (crossover) and also that at low enough temperatures the whole Fermi surface is always gapped. Furthermore, we present a comparison of our D$Γ$A calculations at a parameter set where data obtained by other techniques are available.

Empathy as Direct Perception
Creators: name: Beckman, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This paper defends a perceptual account of empathy in opposition to purely cognitive theories on how we grasp the emotion of another.  Empathy has to start with the perception of another human being before us. However, the often favored simulation argument (in which we imagine "what it's like" to be "in their shoes") seems to propose that perception stops right with surface features. We perceive there is someone in front of us, but the knowledge of their pain comes from simulation, the argument goes. While I do agree that simulation is likely employed across the spectrum of empathic experience and importantly adds to it, I see no reason that part of the understanding can’t come from perception itself. Instead, I argue two main points: one, it is possible to perceive, not infer, meaning, or emotion, just with visual stimuli (such as faces); two, environmental and physical regularities bias what we grasp and thus partially determine what we empathize with. The second point is supported by a causal story, provided by Mitch Green, in which forms of expression and communication arose due to evolutionary benefit and incur “organic meaning.”

description: This project develops an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that provide a critical security measure to helps protecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices and networks from cyber threats. IoT devices are particularly vulnerable to attacks due to their limited processing power, memory, and energy resources, as well as their reliance on wireless communication protocols. IDS can help detect and prevent unauthorized access, attacks, and data breaches by monitoring network traffic and individual devices for signs of compromise. Our goal is to effectively secure IoT devices, and networks by developing an interpretable distributed learning system that can be easily trusted by the stackholders and security specialists. The outcome of our project is an AI tool that can help organizations to effectively detect and respond to security threats in real-time, protecting their IoT devices and networks from cyberattacks.

Creators: name: Daniels, Miranda Kaitlyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This paper is a literature review that explores the empirical evidence to identify the most effective prevention strategies in decreasing abusive head trauma (AHT) in infants. PubMed, CINAHL, and Clinical Key yielded 11 quality research studies that serve as the basis for this review. After reviewing the literature, a model prevention program is proposed to reduce AHT in the state of North Carolina, based on the current evidence. This intervention is based on the Health Belief Model, and reflects multi-modal primary and secondary prevention education program delivered by nurses in perinatal areas, neonatal intensive care units, and pediatric nurses working in inpatient and outpatient areas.

description: The activity of ensembles of simultaneously recorded neurons can be represented as a set of points in the space of firing rates. Even though the dimension of this space is equal to the ensemble size, neural activity can be effectively localized on smaller subspaces. The dimensionality of the neural space is an important determinant of the computational tasks supported by the neural activity. Here, we investigate the dimensionality of neural ensembles from the sensory cortex of alert rats during period of ongoing (inter-trial) and stimulus-evoked activity. We find that dimensionality grows linearly with ensemble size, and grows significantly faster during ongoing activity compared to evoked activity. We explain these results using a spiking network model based on a clustered architecture. The model captures the difference in growth rate between ongoing and evoked activity and predicts a characteristic scaling with ensemble size that could be tested in high-density multi-electrode recordings. Moreover, the model predicts the existence of an upper bound on dimensionality. This upper bound is inversely proportional to the amount of pair-wise correlations and, compared to a homogeneous network without clusters, it is larger by a factor equal to the number of clusters. The empirical estimation of such bounds depends on the number and duration of trials. Together, these results provide a framework to analyze neural dimensionality in alert animals, its behavior under stimulus presentation, and its theoretical dependence on ensemble size, number of clusters, and pair-wise correlations in spiking network models.

description: We consider the statistics of time delay in a chaotic cavity having $M$ open channels, in the absence of time-reversal invariance. In the random matrix theory approach, we compute the average value of polynomial functions of the time delay matrix $Q=-i\hbar S^†dS/dE$, where $S$ is the scattering matrix. Our results do not assume $M$ to be large. In a companion paper, we develop a semiclassical approximation to $S$-matrix correlation functions, from which the statistics of $Q$ can also be derived. Together, these papers contribute to establishing the conjectured equivalence between the random matrix and the semiclassical approaches.

description: An equation of state of cold nuclear matter with an arbitrary isotopic composition is studied within a relativistic mean-field approach with hadron masses and coupling constants depending self-consistently on the scalar mean-field. All hadron masses decrease universally with the scalar field growth, whereas meson-nucleon coupling constants can vary differently. More specifically we focus on two modifications of the KVOR model studied previously. One extension of the model (KVORcut) demonstrates that the equation of state stiffens if the increase of the scalar-field magnitude with the density is bounded from above at some value for baryon densities above the saturation nuclear density. This can be realized if the nucleon vector-meson coupling constant changes rapidly as a function of the scalar field slightly above the desired value. The other version of the model (MKVOR) utilizes a smaller value of the nucleon effective mass at the nuclear saturation density and a saturation of the scalar field in the isospin asymmetric matter induced by a strong variation of the nucleon isovector-meson coupling constant as function of the scalar field. A possibility of hyperonization of the matter in neutron star interiors is incorporated. Our equations of state fulfill majority of known empirical constraints including the pressure-density constraint from heavy-ion collisions, direct Urca constraint, gravitational-baryon mass constraint for the pulsar J0737-3039B, and the constraint on the maximum mass of the neutron stars.

description: Melpomene paradoxa Lehnert, Amer. Fern J. 98: 235, f. 33. 2008.
 Range: — Peru and Bolivia (CO, LP).
 Ecology: —Fairly common; epiphytic in moss cushions, moist montane forests and elfin forests; 2800–3900 m.
 Notes: —Most similar to M. flabelliformis and M. moniliformis, agreeing with the former in size of rhizomes, internode length, and rhizome scales, but closer to the latter in scale color, laminar shape, and hair distribution. Melpomene paradoxa lacks hairs between the sori—a character typical of M. flabelliformis. According to Lehnert (2013), M. paradoxa has no more taxonomic value than recognized varieties of both of the presumed relatives, but since it cannot be placed with confidence under either, it was accorded species rank until its status could be clarified. Lehnert speculated that M. paradoxa, as well as M. caput-gorgonis and M. flagellata, could represent different recombinations of hybrid swarms between M. flabelliformis and M. moniliformis.

Summary of the searches for squarks and gluinos using $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC

description: A summary is presented of ATLAS searches for gluinos and first- and second-generation squarks in final states containing jets and missing transverse momentum, with or without leptons or b-jets, in the $\sqrt{s}$ = 8 TeV data set collected at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. This paper reports the results of new interpretations and statistical combinations of previously published analyses, as well as a new analysis. Since no significant excess of events over the Standard Model expectation is observed, the data are used to set limits in a variety of models. In all the considered simplified models that assume R-parity conservation, the limit on the gluino mass exceeds 1150 GeV at 95% confidence level, for an LSP mass smaller than 100 GeV. Furthermore, exclusion limits are set for left-handed squarks in a phenomenological MSSM model, a minimal Supergravity/Constrained MSSM model, R-parity-violation scenarios, a minimal gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking model, a natural gauge mediation model, a non-universal Higgs mass model with gaugino mediation and a minimal model of universal extra dimensions.

Development of Nanoparticle Formulations of Cisplatin for Treatment of Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Creators: name: Tyson, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death of women in the United
States, and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is responsible for up to 17% of all breast cancers.
TNBC is a subtype of breast cancer defined by lack of estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors,
and HER2 on the tumor cell surface. This type of cancer is both aggressive and difficult to target
therapeutically. TNBC is characterized by high rates of metastatic disease and patients diagnosed
with TNBC have a poor prognosis.(1,2,3) Chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment in this
type of cancer, and preclinical evidence suggests that platinum based therapy may be especially
useful in TNBC.(4) Unfortunately, while chemotherapy utilizing small molecule drugs can be helpful in
treating cancer, it also leads to toxicity throughout the body. Therapy developed to provide improved
delivery of therapy in difficult to treat cancers could boost efficacy (anti-tumor effects) while reducing
toxicity (off-target effects). In the case of TNBC, there are currently no proven efficacious targeted
therapies available, and the only accepted strategy for recurrent or metastatic disease is to
‘rechallenge’ with systemic chemotherapy.(1) Therefore, new treatment modalities are urgently
needed to manage TNBC and ultimately provide better outcomes for patients.

description: In this paper we study the generalized Buckley-Leverett equation with nonlocal regularizing terms. One of these regularizing terms is diffusive, while the other one is conservative. We prove that if the regularizing terms have order higher than one (combined), there exists a global strong solution for arbitrarily large initial data. In the case where the regularizing terms have combined order one, we prove the global existence of solution under some size restriction for the initial data. Moreover, in the case where the conservative regularizing term vanishes, regardless of the order of the diffusion and under certain hypothesis on the initial data, we also prove the global existence of strong solution and we obtain some new entropy balances. Finally, we provide numerics suggesting that, if the order of the diffusion is $0< α<1$, a finite time blow up of the solution is possible.

Silence in Rwanda: Rationalizing International Response Twenty Years Later
Creators: name: Tostoe, Jon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The small, central African country of Rwanda was the scene for the most brutal genocide since the Holocaust. Over 800,000 people were killed in three months while the rest of the world stood idly by. Since the Genocide Convention of 1948 and the subsequent international rally cry that Genocide would be “never again” the world has failed to stop genocide repeatedly. Looking back on Rwanda, it is now clear that the world knew about the killings, but failed to act to stop them. My research probes into the question of how genocide keeps occurring and points the blame towards the very international organizations that are supposed to prevent them.
Statistics of time delay and scattering correlation functions in chaotic systems II. Semiclassical Approximation

description: We consider $S$-matrix correlation functions for a chaotic cavity having $M$ open channels, in the absence of time-reversal invariance. Relying on a semiclassical approximation, we compute the average over $E$ of the quantities ${\rm Tr}[S^†(E-ε)S(E+ε)]^n$, for general positive integer $n$. Our result is an infinite series in $ε$, whose coefficients are rational functions of $M$. From this we extract moments of the time delay matrix $Q=-i\hbar S^†dS/dE$, and check that the first 8 of them agree with the random matrix theory prediction from our previous paper.

description: In this paper, we study the convergence of the finite difference discretization of a second order elliptic equation with variable coefficients subject to general boundary conditions. We prove that the scheme exhibits the phenomenon of supraconvergence on nonuniform grids, i.e., although the truncation error is in general of the first order alone, one has second order convergence. All error estimates are strictly local. Another result of the paper is a close relationship between finite difference scheme and linear finite element methods combined with a special kind of quadrature. As a consequence, the results of the paper can be viewed as the introduction of a fully discrete finite element method for which the gradient is superclose. A numerical example is given.
Tobacco Marketing at SNAP and WIC Stores in the Contiguous U.S.: Implications for Policy and Practice
Creators: name: Rust, Shauna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: In the U.S., low-income and racial/ethnic minority families are at increased risk for food insecurity and often rely on government programs such as SNAP and WIC for food assistance. Many food retailers that accept SNAP and/or WIC also commonly promote and sell tobacco, which remains the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Given the influence of the retail environment on smoking and tobacco use, this study examined the presence of tobacco marketing in stores that millions of American families frequent for food purchases via SNAP and WIC. Data was obtained from a nationally representative sample of tobacco retailers (N = 2,305) in the contiguous U.S. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess the association between tobacco marketing types, WIC acceptance, SNAP acceptance, neighborhood demographics, and store type. When controlling for demographics, retailers accepting SNAP were significantly more likely to have interior tobacco advertisements (odds ratio = 2.55, 95% confidence interval [1.89, 3.46], p < .0001) and price promotions (odds ratio = 2.19, 95% confidence interval [1.75, 2.74], p < .0001), while stores accepting WIC were significantly less likely to have any type of tobacco marketing, such as exterior tobacco advertisements (odds ratio = 0.06, 95% confidence interval [0.04, 0.09], p < .0001). Retailers in neighborhoods with more black residents (odds ratio = 3.81, 95% confidence interval [1.94, 7.47], p < .0001) or individuals living in poverty (odds ratio = 4.13, 95% confidence interval [1.26, 13.52], p < .019) were significantly more likely to have exterior tobacco advertisements. In order to mitigate these racial and socioeconomic disparities in tobacco marketing exposure, policymakers and practitioners should consider policies such as tobacco retailer licensing, healthy retailer licensing, and tobacco-free pharmacies.

description: The optical properties of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films deposited on ZnO were studied by m-lines spectroscopy. In order to retrieve the refractive index and the thickness of both layers from the m-lines spectra, we develop a numerical algorithm for the case of a two-layer system and show its robustness in the presence of noise. The sensitivity of the algorithm of the two-layer model allows us to relate the observed changes in the PZT refractive index to the PZT structural change due to the ZnO interface of the PZT/ZnO optical waveguide.
Python and Fast Imperative Code: Lowering the Barriers
Creators: name: Ianna Osborne
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In a typical HEP data analysis process, data is explored by a physicist loading large amounts of data into an interactive Python environment. The physicist performs various analyses of this data. The results of the first analysis tell the physicist what the next steps should be. Python as a dynamically typed language is ideal for this task. The downside is that Python is not very fast. C++ as a statically typed language is fast. It is perfect for writing the performance critical components that speed things up. Python is used to arrange and connect these components. Thus at runtime the physicist can rearrange these components interactively, without reloading the data. We will look at a few examples how to write your own analysis components and connect them via:
 * Conversions of Awkward Arrays to and from RDataFrame (C++)
 * Standalone cppyy (C++)
 * Passing Awkward Arrays to and from Python functions compiled by Numba
 * Passing Awkward Arrays to Python functions compiled for GPUs by Numba
 Header-only libraries for populating Awkward Arrays from C++ without any Python dependencies We will introduce Awkward Arrays in Julia via a recent development of Awkward Arrays PyJulia/PyCall.jl-based bridges.
Baby Daddies, Ghosts, and Second Chances: The Figure of the Single Mother in Japanese Literature, 1970s-2010s
Creators: name: Kirk, Rebecca

description: Motherhood enjoys an exalted place in Japanese society. No relationship is considered as close or as important as that between mother and child. Yet Japan is currently experiencing a demographic crisis in which relatively few children are being born and the proportion of elderly is on the rise. Increasingly fewer women wish to marry, and many doubt they will become mothers. The stigma against single mothers reduces the chance that a woman will have a child without first marrying. Although little moral stigma accompanies premarital sex, bearing a child outside of wedlock is a source of shame, inciting most women who find themselves unintentionally pregnant to opt for abortion rather than carrying the child to term. The treatment of unwed mothers in fictional narratives, however, has changed over the course of history. Using Jaber F. Gubrium’s assertion that narratives are both shaped by the social phenomena upon which they are based and simultaneously shape those same phenomena, I use close readings of several works of literature and film to explore more deeply the views of single mothers in Japan. My analysis pays special attention to the social context of the works, issues of dependency, control, and victimhood, and the depictions of womanhood and motherhood. In Chapter One, I introduce the current landscape of Japanese demographics and discuss the use of the narrative to understand social conditions. Chapter Two explores two works by Tsushima Yūko from the 1970s to illustrate the introduction of the idea that single motherhood is a potential source of agency and awakening for women who learn that they can live without men. Chapter Three, in a different vein, analyzes single mothers plagued by hauntings in the Japanese horror film Ringu and the 2010 novel Manazuru to understand moments in which the feasibility of single motherhood is again questioned. Finally, Chapter Four gives readings of the 1988 Banana Yoshimoto work Kitchen and the 2001 movie Hasshu! to show the potential happy future for families that do not fall into the unconventional norms of traditional nuclear families. Through my research, I discovered that fictional discourse about the single mother has changed over time, from simple narratives that naively assume that single mothers need only willpower to thrive without husbands, to those that question the vulnerability of women without a partner, and finally to those that offer unconventionality as a way forward. I conclude that the changing discourse of the single mother has the power and potential to change popular opinion regarding real-life single mothers, which may help Japan as it struggles to deal with changing demographics.

description: We report circularly-polarized optical reflection spectroscopy of monolayer WS$_2$ and MoS$_2$ at low temperatures (4~K) and in high magnetic fields to 65~T. Both the A and the B exciton transitions exhibit a clear and very similar Zeeman splitting of approximately $-$230~$μ$eV/T ($g\simeq -4$), providing the first measurements of the valley Zeeman effect and associated $g$-factors in monolayer transition-metal disulphides. These results complement and are compared with recent low-field photoluminescence measurements of valley degeneracy breaking in the monolayer diselenides MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$. Further, the very large magnetic fields used in our studies allows us to observe the small quadratic diamagnetic shifts of the A and B excitons in monolayer WS$_2$ (0.32 and 0.11~$μ$eV/T$^2$, respectively), from which we calculate exciton radii of 1.53~nm and 1.16~nm. When analyzed within a model of non-local dielectric screening in monolayer semiconductors, these diamagnetic shifts also constrain and provide estimates of the exciton binding energies (410~meV and 470~meV for the A and B excitons, respectively), further highlighting the utility of high magnetic fields for understanding new 2D materials.

Generating Partially Synthetic Geocoded Public Use Data with Decreased Disclosure Risk Using Differential Smoothing

description: When collecting geocoded confidential data with the intent to disseminate, agencies often resort to altering the geographies prior to making data publicly available due to data privacy obligations. An alternative to releasing aggregated and/or perturbed data is to release multiply-imputed synthetic data, where sensitive values are replaced with draws from statistical models designed to capture important distributional features in the collected data. One issue that has received relatively little attention, however, is how to handle spatially outlying observations in the collected data, as common spatial models often have a tendency to overfit these observations. The goal of this work is to bring this issue to the forefront and propose a solution, which we refer to as "differential smoothing." After implementing our method on simulated data, highlighting the effectiveness of our approach under various scenarios, we illustrate the framework using data consisting of sale prices of homes in San Francisco.

description: We consider four scalar mesons scattering in large-Nc QCD. Using the worldline formalism we show that the scattering amplitude can be written as a formal sum over Wilson loops. The AdS/CFT correspondence maps this sum into a sum over string worldsheets in a confining background. We then argue that for well separated mesons the sum is dominated by flat space configurations. Under additional assumptions about the dual string path integral we obtain the Veneziano amplitude.
