description: This study describes an analysis of content of the old and the current online literature search request forms used at the Library of the United States Environmental Protection Agency in Research Triangle Park. An analysis of terms from six years worth of online literature search request forms was undertaken (Study 1), and these results were compared to an analysis of terms from two months worth of searches that were submitted on a revised form designed to elicit more and better information from the patron (Study 2). While searches that used the revised form did not contain a greater overlap in terms provided by the patron with terms used in the final search strategy than searches that used the original form, the revised form did elicit more information from the patron at the onset of the search request. These results suggest the importance of input from both the patron and the librarian in the literature search process.
Embedded discontinuous Galerkin transport schemes with localised limiters

description: Motivated by finite element spaces used for representation of temperature in the compatible finite element approach for numerical weather prediction, we introduce locally bounded transport schemes for (partially-)continuous finite element spaces. The underlying high-order transport scheme is constructed by injecting the partially-continuous field into an embedding discontinuous finite element space, applying a stable upwind discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme, and projecting back into the partially-continuous space; we call this an embedded DG scheme. We prove that this scheme is stable in L2 provided that the underlying upwind DG scheme is. We then provide a framework for applying limiters for embedded DG transport schemes. Standard DG limiters are applied during the underlying DG scheme. We introduce a new localised form of element-based flux-correction which we apply to limiting the projection back into the partially-continuous space, so that the whole transport scheme is bounded. We provide details in the specific case of tensor-product finite element spaces on wedge elements that are discontinuous P1/Q1 in the horizontal and continuous P2 in the vertical. The framework is illustrated with numerical tests.

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Rare Book Collection.

description: This paper is an analysis of the holdings of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's published works from 1955-1975 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Rare Book Collection. The paper includes a biography of the American poet, painter, and publisher, describing life events and publishing highlights. It also contains a section describing Ferlinghetti's connection to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with information about the acquisition of a substantial amount of materials in 2001, due to a combination of funds from the William Whitaker Endowment and a generous gift from Bill Morgan, bibliographer and friend of Ferlinghetti. The bulk of this paper is a descriptive catalog of the Rare Book Collections' holdings of Ferlinghetti works published from 1955-1975, based on Bill Morgan's comprehensive bibliography of the poet's writings. The paper concludes with a list of collection strengths and desired materials for further collection development.

Magnetic chains on a triplet superconductor

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: The topological state of a two-dimensional triplet superconductor may be changed by an appropriate addition of magnetic impurities. A ferromagnetic magnetic chain at the surface of a superconductor with spin-orbit coupling may eliminate the edge states of a finite system giving rise to localized zero modes at the edges of the chain. The coexistence/competition between the two types of zero modes is considered. The reduction of the system to an effective $1d$ system gives partial information on the topological properties but the study of the two sets of zero modes requires a two-dimensional treatment. Increasing the impurity density from a magnetic chain to magnetic islands leads to a finite Chern number. At half-filling small concentrations are enough to induce chiral modes.

title: I'm not who you think I am: identify formation and the experience of informal learning for regional young people
Creators: name: Pauli-Myler, Tanya

Subjects: subject: 160810 Urban Sociology and Community Studies

description: 'The primacy of culture’s role as an educational site where identities are being continually transformed, power is enacted, and learning assumes a political dynamic as it becomes not only the condition for the acquisition of agency but also the sphere for imagining oppositional social change' (Giroux 2004 p. 60).

'Youth' or 'the young person' is an abstract concept; used often, unthinkingly, but without concrete, or universally agreed upon definition. Are young people the future or the ‘problem’ with society? Varying discourses define the young person in a number of ways, with the formative features of young derived from their social position and status, age and demographic, and role in wider social hierarchies. Adding to this complexity of definition, young people themselves also define themselves and the idea of ‘youth’ in a variety of ways. How a young person forms an identity1, and on whose terms, is hence a vexed problem.

The research that guided this dissertation aimed to explore how the idea of the young person was constructed, represented and viewed within three informal learning settings located in regional Queensland. The first cohort included a group of ‘disengaged’ young people within an alternative educational setting. This group was identified by the case school as disengaged and in need of a remediation program to ‘get them back on track’. The second cohort included a group of young people who attended a fortnightly LBGTQI social support group. The group, founded by Headspace Toowoomba, met with the aim of providing a social opportunity for LBGTQI identifying young people, aged between 12 and 18 years old, to be able to connect with each other in a supportive environment. The third cohort was a group of mountain bikers who would get together, ‘hang out’ and ride their bikes together. This group formed based on the desire for a group of young mountain bikers to ‘hang out’, practise their riding, and teach each other new skills.

Via these three ‘sites’, the experience of these groups of young people was examined in an effort to understand the dynamic nature of identity formation, how young people come to develop a sense of Self and, more generally understand their place within wider social contexts. This research highlights that young people have a profound understanding of their ‘place’ in the world and the challenges that confront them. Significantly, young people contend with a range of social views and stereotypes that pathologise and position young people in ‘fixed’ ways. This thesis outlines how a more comprehensive understanding of young people might develop and how opportunities for informal learning,2 engaged by young people, can mediate this process.

description: Drawing from the theory of optimal transport we propose a rigorous notion of a causal relation for Borel probability measures on a given spacetime. To prepare the ground, we explore the borderland between causality, topology and measure theory. We provide various characterisations of the proposed causal relation, which turn out to be equivalent if the underlying spacetime has a sufficiently robust causal structure. We also present the notion of the 'Lorentz-Wasserstein distance' and study its basic properties. Finally, we discuss how various results on causality in quantum theory, aggregated around Hegerfeldt's theorem, fit into our framework.

description: The design of highly interactive displays or installations for public spaces requires understanding of the capabilities, preferences, and experiences of broad audiences. In the case of immersive maps, levels of map literacy are particularly important.  This project, The NC Audio Map, explores the ways by which geography might catalyze knowledge acquisition goals.  The project seeks to identify what effects information processing through map literacy has on design of a novel installation.  Map literacy and interpretation at large, as discussed in previous research are applied to the design of the NC Audio Map ubiquitous computing environment.  The ultimate goal is to explore how user experience design may benefit from anticipating user information processing skills.

description: A large area ring-imaging Cherenkov detector has been designed to provide clean hadron identification capability in the momentum range from 3 GeV/c up to 8 GeV/c for the CLAS12 experiments at the upgraded 12 GeV continuous electron beam accelerator facility of Jefferson Laboratory. The adopted solution foresees a novel hybrid optics design based on aerogel radiator, composite mirrors and high-packed and high-segmented photon detectors. Cherenkov light will either be imaged directly (forward tracks) or after two mirror reflections (large angle tracks). We report here the results of the tests of a large scale prototype of the RICH detector performed with the hadron beam of the CERN T9 experimental hall for the direct detection configuration. The tests demonstrated that the proposed design provides the required pion-to-kaon rejection factor of 1:500 in the whole momentum range.

description: Adolescence is a crucial period of development which coincides with changes in circadian rhythmicity. This may augment the impact of circadian preference on performance in this group. We aimed to scope the literature available on chronotypes and their effect on physical and mental aspects of performance in adolescents. Studies were identified by systematically searching bibliographical databases and grey literature. The Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire was the most frequently reported tool for circadian preference assessment. Academic achievement was the most prevailing outcome, with evidence suggesting that morning type adolescents tend to outperform evening types, yet the results vary depending on multiple factors. Performance in tests of intelligence and executive functions was generally better at optimal times of the day (synchrony effect). Physical performance was examined in 8 studies, with very heterogeneous outcomes. Although the associations between circadian preference and performance in adolescents are evident in some areas, there are many factors that may be involved in the relationship and require further investigation. This review highlights the assessment of physical performance in relation to chronotypes, the multidimensional assessment of circadian preference, and the need for longitudinal studies as priorities for further research.

title: Is pain necessarily unpleasant: a look at the curious case of pain asymbolia through the evaluativist, pure imperativist, and intensive theories of pain
Creators: name: Carrothers, Sean Michael Dana
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: The conscious experience of the bodily sensation of pain has proven problematic for theorists. One of the primary issues has been formulating the exact nature of pain experience. It has been argued by some that pain experience has three elements: the pain experience itself, an unpleasant affective element, and a motivational element. Furthermore, the nature of the connection between these three elements has been a point of contention between theorists. What is now the standard view, it is argued that there is no necessary connection between these elements; that is, one is able to undergo a pain experience which is neither unpleasant nor motivational. This view has been supported, in part, by claims made by those reported to be pain asymbolic. These individuals claim that they undergo pain experiences which they find neither unpleasant, nor are they motivated to alleviate themselves of their pain experiences. Within this work, two theories which hold the standard view of pain will be discussed, as well as their explanation of the conscious experience of those purported to be pain asymbolic when undergoing pain experiences: evaluativism and pure imperativism. n addition, a third theory of pain will be defended which is counter to the standard view: the intensive theory. It will be shown that the intensive theory is not only able to account for the clinical evidence and testimony of those purported to be pain asymbolic but, also, demonstrate that pain experience is necessarily both unpleasant and motivational.

description: This study relates answers to the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) from Arctic Sojourn Workers (ASW) of Yamburg Settlement, 68° Latitude North, 75° Longitude East (n = 180; mean age ± SD; range: 49.2 ± 7.8; 25–66 y; 45% women) to Arctic Sojourn Work Experience (ASWE), age and health status. Chronotype, Mid Sleep on Free Days sleep corrected (MSFsc) and sleep characteristics of ASW were compared to those of age-matched Tyumen Residents (TR, n = 270; mean age ± SD; range: 48.4 ± 8.4; 25–69 y; 48% women), 57° Latitude North, 65° Longitude East. ASW have earlier MSFsc than TR (70 min in men, p < 0.0001, and 45 min in women, p < 0.0001). Unlike TR, their MSFsc was not associated with age (r = 0.037; p = 0.627) and was linked to a larger Social Jet Lag (+21 min in men; p = 0.003, and +18 min in women; p = 0.003). These differences were not due to outdoor light exposure (OLE): OLE on work (OLEw) or free (OLEf) days was not significantly different between ASW and TR in men and was significantly less in ASW than in TR women (OLEw: −31 min; p < 0.001; OLEf: −24 min; p = 0.036). ASWE, but not age, was associated with compromised lipid metabolism in men. After accounting for multiple testing, when corrected for age and sex, higher triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein ratio, TG/HDL correlated with ASWE (r = 0.271, p < 0.05). In men, greater SJL was associated with lower HDL (r = -0.204; p = 0.043). Worse proxies of metabolic health were related to unfavorable components of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in ASW. Higher OLE on free days was associated with lower systolic (b = -0.210; p < 0.05) and diastolic (b = -0.240; p < 0.05) blood pressure.

description: White dwarfs are the end state of most stars, including the Sun, after they exhaust their nuclear fuel. Between 1/4 and 1/2 of white dwarfs have elements heavier than helium in their atmospheres, even though these elements should rapidly settle into the stellar interiors unless they are occasionally replenished. The abundance ratios of heavy elements in white dwarf atmospheres are similar to rocky bodies in the Solar system. This and the existence of warm dusty debris disks around about 4% of white dwarfs suggest that rocky debris from white dwarf progenitors' planetary systems occasionally pollute the stars' atmospheres. The total accreted mass can be comparable to that of large asteroids in the solar system. However, the process of disrupting planetary material has not yet been observed. Here, we report observations of a white dwarf being transited by at least one and likely multiple disintegrating planetesimals with periods ranging from 4.5 hours to 4.9 hours. The strongest transit signals occur every 4.5 hours and exhibit varying depths up to 40% and asymmetric profiles, indicative of a small object with a cometary tail of dusty effluent material. The star hosts a dusty debris disk and the star's spectrum shows prominent lines from heavy elements like magnesium, aluminium, silicon, calcium, iron, and nickel. This system provides evidence that heavy element pollution of white dwarfs can originate from disrupted rocky bodies such as asteroids and minor planets.

description: Ceropegia plocamoides (Oliv.) Bruyns (Figs. 14–16)
 Brachystelma mortonii Walker (1981: 66), syn. nov. Brachystelma parviflorum Morton (1979: 499), non B. parviflorum (Wight 1834: 35) Hooker (1883: 65).
 Ceropegia plocamoides was described from material collected by the explorers John H. Speke and James A. Grant in dry forest of central Tanzania in 1861. Bullock (1963) also recorded it from Zambia and Zimbabwe and Masinde (2007) mentioned its occurrence in D.R. Congo and Malawi but did not cite any corroborating material. Percy-Lancaster (1997) recorded it fairly widely in Zimbabwe.
 Ceropegia plocamoides was mentioned by Meve & Porembski (1993) as being very similar to ‘ Brachystelma mortonii ’ from West Africa. According to them, the ‘short and solid, relatively succulent petals bearing a nose-like, pyramidal projection on their distal half’ of ‘ B. mortonii ’ provided the ‘most important distinguishing feature’ between the two species. For C. plocamoides they gave the corolla-lobes as 7–15 (20) × (2) 3–5 mm, while in ‘ B. mortonii ’ they gave them as 3–9 × 3–5 mm. In C. plocamoides the corolla was ‘rotate, not fully expanded, lobes somewhat erect’ which is contradictory, since ‘rotate’ means ‘spreading, almost flat’ (Stearn 1983). Their fig. 1 shows that the corolla of their material of ‘ B. mortonii ’ was also ‘not fully expanded’ so that there was no difference here. The specimen cited below and shown in Fig. 14, from central Moçambique also has short and broad (± 2.5 × 2.0 mm), longitudinally thickened and folded corolla-lobes with a ‘nose-like’ protrusion in the middle and so it corresponds quite closely to ‘ B. mortonii ’, supposedly endemic to West Africa, but it could equally well be placed under C. plocamoides. Consequently ‘ B. mortonii ’ is reduced to synonymy here, making C. plocamoides widely, if scantily, distributed from central Moçambique (Fig. 15) to Tanzania and as far as Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria in West Africa. To show the extent of variation in C. plocamoides, we illustrate (Fig. 16) another collection from Malawi (E. Specks 21615) where the corolla was much larger, very dark and rugulose inside and the coronal lobes also much larger and with their tips protruding slightly from between the corolla-lobes.
 The single specimen seen in Moçambique was found in low-lying Brachystegia Bentham (in Bentham & Hooker 1865: 582)-forest with sparse undergrowth, together with a species of Aloe, Cynanchum viminale, two species of Kalanchoe and several epiphytic orchids in the trees.

description: Inhibition is one of the core components of cognitive control. In experimental tasks which measure cognitive inhibition, performance may vary according to an interplay of individuals’ chronotype and the time of day of testing (“synchrony effect”, or the beneficial impact on cognitive performance of aligning testing with the time of day preferred by an individual’s chronotype). Some prior studies have reported a synchrony effect specifically emerging in activities which require cognitive inhibition, but not in general processing speed, but existing findings are inconsistent. If genuine, synchrony effects should be taken into account when comparing groups of participants. Here we explored whether synchrony effects emerge in a sample of young adults. In a multi-part online study, we captured various components of inhibition (response suppression; inhibitory control; switching) plus a general measure of processing speed across various times of the day. Individuals’ chronotype was included as a predictor of performance. Critically, we found no evidence of a synchrony effect (an association between chronotype and component of interest where the directionality is dependent on time of testing) in our study.
A Search for High-Mass Resonances Decaying to $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ in $pp$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV with the ATLAS Detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2015

description: A search for high-mass resonances decaying into $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ final states using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}= 8$ TeV produced by the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.5-20.3 fb$^{-1}$. No statistically significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed; 95% credibility upper limits are set on the cross section times branching fraction of $Z^{\prime}$ resonances decaying into $\tau^+\tau^-$ pairs as a function of the resonance mass. As a result, $Z^{\prime}$ bosons of the Sequential Standard Model with masses less than 2.02 TeV are excluded at 95% credibility. The impact of the fermionic couplings on the $Z^{\prime}$ acceptance is investigated and limits are also placed on a $Z^{\prime}$ model that exhibits enhanced couplings to third-generation fermions.

description: The application of state-dependent speciation and extinction (SSE) models to phylogenetic trees has shown an important role for traits in diversification. However, this role remains comparatively unexplored on islands, which can include multiple independent clades resulting from different colonization events. To explore whether assuming no dependence on traits leads to bias in inference on island dynamics, we extend an island biodiversity model, DAISIE (Dynamic Assembly of Islands through Speciation, Immigration and Extinction) to include trait-dependent diversification simulations, and evaluate the robustness of the inference model which ignores this trait-dependence. Our results indicate that when the differences between colonization, extinction and speciation rates between trait states are moderate, the model shows negligible error for a variety of island diversity metrics, suggesting that island diversity dynamics can be accurately estimated without the need to explicitly model trait dependence. We conclude that for many biologically realistic scenarios with trait-dependent diversification and colonization, this simple trait-less inference model is informative and robust to trait effects on colonization, speciation and extinction. Nonetheless, our new simulation model may provide a useful tool for studying patterns of trait variation.

description: We point out that the prediction of the minimal chaotic inflation model is altered if a scalar field takes a large field value close to the Planck scale during inflation due to a negative Hubble induced mass. In particular, we show that the inflaton potential is effectively suppressed at a large inflaton field value in the presence of such a scalar field. The scalar field may be identified with the standard model Higgs field or flat directions in supersymmetric theory. With such spontaneous suppression, we find that the minimal chaotic inflation model, especially the model with a quadratic potential, is consistent with recent observations of the cosmic microwave background fluctuation without modifying the inflation model itself.

description: Ageing is associated with a decline in circadian clock systems, which correlates with the development of ageing-associated diseases. Chrononutrition is a field of chronobiology that examines the relationship between the timing of meal/nutrition and circadian clock systems. Although there is growing evidence regarding the role of chrononutrition in the prevention of lifestyle and ageing-related diseases, the optimal timing of meal intake to regulate the circadian clock in humans remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the relationship between clock gene expression and meal timing in young and older adults. In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 51 healthy young men and 35 healthy older men (age, mean±standard deviation: 24 ± 4 and 70 ± 4 y, respectively). Under daily living conditions, beard follicle cells were collected at 4-h intervals over a 24-h period to evaluate clock gene expression. Participants were asked to record the timing of habitual sleep and wake-up, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. From these data, we calculated “From bedtime to breakfast time,” “From wake up to first meal time,” and “From dinner to bed time.” NR1D1 and PER3 expressions in older adults at 06:00 h were significantly higher than those in young adults (P = 0.001). There were significant differences in the peak time for NR1D2 (P = 0.003) and PER3 (P = 0.049) expression between young and older adults. “From bedtime to breakfast time” was significantly longer in older adults than in young adults. In contrast, “From dinner to bed time” was significantly shorter in older adults than in young adults. Moreover, higher rhythmicity of NR1D1 correlated with longer “From bedtime to breakfast time” (r = −0.470, P = 0.002) and shorter “From wake up to first meal time” in young adults (r = 0.302, P = 0.032). Higher rhythmicity of PER3 correlated with longer “From bedtime to breakfast time” in older adults (r = −0.342, P = 0.045). These results suggest that the peak time of clock gene expression in older adults may be phase-advanced compared to that in young adults. In addition, a longer fasting duration from bedtime to breakfast in both young and older adults and earlier intake of meals after waking up in young adults may correlate with robust clock gene expression rhythms.

description: This protocol discusses the use of natural language processing (NLP) in cancer care. NLP is a tool that merges the fields of artificial intelligence and linguistics, focusing on text recognition, understanding, and generation. In cancer care, NLP can be used to extract and analyze information from various sources, including electronic health records, clinical notes, pathology reports, radiology reports, and social media data. This scoping review aims to explore the research and application of NLP in cancer treatment and patient self-management, identifying potential benefits and challenges to inform the development of more effective and efficient healthcare NLP systems. The review questions include the roles text data can provide in cancer patients' self-management, the type of support NLP technology can provide to cancer patients and their clinicians, and the challenges or barriers to using NLP technology to improve patient outcomes in oncology.
Axionic Band Structure of the Cosmological Constant

description: We argue that theories with multiple axions generically contain a large number of vacua that can account for the smallness of the cosmological constant. In a theory with N axions, the dominant instantons with charges Q determine the discrete symmetry of vacua. Subleading instantons break the leading periodicity and lift the vacuum degeneracy. For generic integer charges the number of distinct vacua is given by |det(Q)|~exp(N). Our construction motivates the existence of a landscape with a vast number of vacua in a large class of four-dimensional effective theories.

description: Self-consistent perturbation expansion up to the second order in the interaction strength is used to study a single-level quantum dot with local Coulomb repulsion attached asymmetrically to two generally different superconducting leads. At zero temperature and wide range of other parameters the spin-symmetric version of the expansion yields excellent results for the position of the $0-π$ impurity quantum phase transition boundary and Josephson current together with the energy of Andreev bound states in the $0$-phase as confirmed by numerical calculations using the Numerical Renormalisation Group method. We analytically prove that the method is charge-conserving as well as thermodynamically consistent. Explicit formulas for the position of the $0-π$ phase boundary are presented for the Hartree-Fock approximation as well as for its variant called Generalized Atomic Limit. It is shown that the Generalized Atomic Limit can be used as a quick estimate for the position of the phase boundary at half-filling in a broad range of parameters. We apply our second order perturbation method to the interpretation of the existing experimental data on the phase boundary with very satisfactory outcome suggesting that the so far employed heavy numerical tools such as Numerical Renormalization Group and/or Quantum Monte Carlo are not necessary in a class of generic situations and can be safely replaced by a perturbative approach.

description: North Carolina's 33 Federal Depositories have been weeding printed government documents at an increasing rate. This paper details an online survey of librarians in charge of federal documents in North Carolina libraries, designed to investigate some of the factors affecting weeding in government document collections. The respondents reported in-creases in weeding over the past two years, with additional increases expected over the next five years. Reasons for weeding include decreasing available space, decreasing budgets for government document employees, and decreasing reliance on printed mate-rials.

description: The objective of the current study was to examine the relationship between sleep characteristics and college degree attainment. Participants were 968 college students (72% female; mean age 19.7 [1.7]). Participants completed a psychosocial and sleep questionnaire battery followed by one week of daily sleep diaries. Academic degree completion data was obtained from the university registrar 10 years later. Logistic regression examined whether mean and variability in sleep duration and sleep efficiency and insomnia symptoms predicted degree attainment, adjusting for age, gender, semester, grade point average (GPA), and perceived stress. The strongest predictors of degree attainment were female gender (OR = 0.67), greater age (OR = 1.32), GPA (OR = 1.97), and lower intraindividual variability in sleep duration (OR = 0.99). Results highlight the importance of examining variability in sleep duration in addition to mean sleep duration in predicting college retention. Future research should use a combination of objective and subjective measures to explore the impact of sleep factors, including variability, on degree completion and other academic metrics.
