description: We explore the reach of a 100 TeV proton collider to discover KK gluons in a warped extra dimension. These particles are templates for color adjoint vectors that couple dominantly to the top quark. We examine their production rate at NLO in the six-flavor m-ACOT scheme for a variety of reference models defining their coupling to quarks, largely inspired by the RS model of a warped extra dimension. In agreement with previous calculations aimed at lower energy machines, we find that the NLO corrections are typically negative, resulting in a $K$-factor of around 0.7 (depending on the model) and with a residual scale dependence on the order of $\pm 20\%$, greater than the variation from the scale exhibited by the naïve LO estimate.

Caregivers' Perceptions on Changing Parenting Styles
Creators: name: Bridgers, Shannitta Latrease
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to characterize parenting styles of caregivers that present to a pediatric dental clinic, to assess parents' perceived changes in parenting styles and to explore the relationship between parenting styles and children's behavior in a pediatric dental setting. We used a survey instrument that was developed using adopted questions from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youths as well as validated items from a pilot study. Surveys were given to caregiver-child dyads who met inclusion criteria. Our major explanatory variables were the caregiver's parenting styles and socio-demographic information. Our major outcome variable was child behavior. 104 surveys were completed. No relationship was found between parenting style and child behavior in a dental setting. Caregivers today report increased difficulty in parenting children and this may impact a child's behavior in the dental setting.

description: We review recent experiments and corpus data from our ongoing investigation of p(ersonal) and d(emonstrative) pronouns. Contrary to a widespread belief, d-pronouns did not always refer to non-topical antecedents in case of referential ambiguity. More generally, the data that we review show that a complex interplay of factors governs the processing of p-pronouns and d-pronouns. During language comprehension, syntactic function, position, and topichood of the antecedent are all taken into account when interpreting a p- or d-pronoun. Similarly, the choice between p- and d-pronoun during language production is heavily influenced by these three factors. We propose an interpretation and a production rule for d-pronouns, both based on prominence features. For interpretation, the proposed rule simply counts prominence features and assigns the d-pronoun the antecedent that is least prominent. For production, we propose a similar rule for choosing between a p- and d-pronoun for referring to a given antecedent. In contrast to interpretation, the rule for choosing a pronominal form makes use of weighted prominence features and relates prominence to production frequency in an exponential way.
title: Baseline values, between and within subject variability of non-invasive biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress

description: In the field of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) exposure biomonitoring, oxidative stress biomarkers measured in urine and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) appear promising to detect early effects. However, baseline values for the oxidative stress biomarkers are still not known. For human biomonitoring, different matrices can be used. Blood seems to be the ideal matrix for most chemicals but has an important disadvantage of being invasive. Our matrices permit a non-invasive biomonitoring.

We focus on four oxidative stress biomarkers: 8-OHdG, 8-isoprostane, malondialdehyde and H2O2. These biomarkers seems to be the most relevant for biomonitoring and for detecting early effects in workers handling ENMs.

A systematic literature review was performed to determine the baseline values of these biomarkers in urine and EBC in a healthy non-smoking adult (≥18 years) population. Searches were conducted for literature published since journal inception and up to April 2019 in the following bibliographic electronic databases: The Cochrane Central Register of controlled Trials, EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science. Two reviewers screened the titles and abstracts with disagreements resolved by consensus. The full-text review and the data extraction are ongoing.

A meta-analysis will be performed for each biomarker. As most of the selected studies include few participants and use non-standardized analytical methods, the results need to be harmonized to be able to establish baselines values and inter / intra individual variations.

We plan to carry out subgroup analysis by gender, by age and by country of origin. In addition, subgroup analyses will be done for people with respiratory diseases (COPD, asthma, lung cancer), for smokers and for workers exposed to ENMs.To our knowledge, this systematic review is the first providing baseline values for these four oxidative stress biomarkers. It is essential for enabling meaningful interpretation of the results from biomonitoring programs conducted in occupational and environmental settings.
The Structure of the Human Mind According to Augustine: Self-reflection and Knowledge of God in De Trinitate

description: Augustine's late speculative work De Trinitate is of philosophical significance because of its analysis of the human mind. In his interpretation of the Delphic injunction to "know thyself," Augustine anticipates modern theories of self-consciousness by discovering the basis for all striving and self-knowledge in an immediate and constant self-relation. This book explores Augustine's theory of finite subjectivity, examining the Neo-platonic relation of self-knowledge and self-transcendence in his early thinking and the later development of his conception of the human mind on the model of the divine Trinity. This close reading of De Trinitate shows how Augustine distances himself from Aristotle's substance-accidents schemata in order to establish the structural analogy between the human mind and the divine Trinity. Through his unique ontological coneptualization of the trinitarian structure of the mens humana, Augustine demonstrates both the link between self-knowledge and the knowledge of God and the way human persons are always already an image of God and also are called to become an image of God.
For Better or Worse? African American Undergraduate Students Recount Experiences in a `Reformed' Introductory Biology Course at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the experiences of six African-American students who have taken a reformed introductory biology course at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to add qualitative insight into a preexisting quantitative study conducted by biology professors at the University of Washington and UNC-Chapel Hill. Due to the accolades of this university's healthcare preparation programs, many undergraduate students matriculate with the intent of pursuing a health-related career. As a result, students take Biology as a required prerequisite course. Although the biology course itself is relatively diverse, the occurrence of diversity within these healthcare professions is significantly less. Increasing course structure reportedly improved exam performance for African American students, whereas this study reveals four critical themes that contradict the findings of the preexisting study and ultimately includes non-generalizable points of consideration for both the university professor and high school biology teacher to further prepare African American students in biology.
Improving lognormal models for cosmological fields

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is common practice in cosmology to model large-scale structure observables as lognormal random fields, and this approach has been successfully applied in the past to the matter density and weak lensing convergence fields separately. We argue that this approach has fundamental limitations which prevent its use for jointly modelling these two fields since the lognormal distribution's shape can prevent certain correlations to be attainable. Given the need of ongoing and future large-scale structure surveys for fast joint simulations of clustering and weak lensing, we propose two ways of overcoming these limitations. The first approach slightly distorts the power spectra of the fields using one of two algorithms that minimises either the absolute or the fractional distortions. The second one is by obtaining more accurate convergence marginal distributions, for which we provide a fitting function, by integrating the lognormal density along the line of sight. The latter approach also provides a way to determine directly from theory the skewness of the convergence distribution and, therefore, the parameters for a lognormal fit. We present the public code Full-sky Lognormal Astro-fields Simulation Kit (FLASK) which can make tomographic realisations on the sphere of an arbitrary number of correlated lognormal or Gaussian random fields by applying either of the two proposed solutions, and show that it can create joint simulations of clustering and lensing with sub-per-cent accuracy over relevant angular scales and redshift ranges.

Menopause Transition and Postmenopausal Period: Relationship with Inflammatory Markers, Physical Activity Energy Expenditure and Bone Mineral Density in Healthy Women

description: Menopause transition is usually associated with changes in body composition and a decrease in physical activity energy expenditure. Adipose tissue, especially visceral fat, is an important source of inflammatory markers, which contributes to the development of a pro-inflammatory state. Conversely, high levels of physical activity and exercise have an anti-inflammatory effect. One-hundred and two healthy premenopausal women participated in a 5-year longitudinal observational study (MONET: Montreal Ottawa New Emerging Team). The present secondary analyses were performed on 58 participants between the ages of 47 and 54 years with a full set of data.The aim of study was to investigate the impact of menopause transition and physical activity on inflammatory makers. The major finding of the first of 3 studies was that menopausal transition is accompanied by an increase in inflammatory markers, namely ferritin, IL-8, and sTNFR 1 and 2. The increase in IL-8 and sTNFR2 with menopause could be explained, in part, by changes in fat mass and peripheral fat, respectively. During and after menopause, significant bone loss occurs in women due to reduced estrogen production. Estrogen reduction favors bone resorption by regulating the production and activity of inflammatory markers. Therefore we further investigated the association between inflammatory markers and bone mineral density in premenopausal women transitioning to menopause (paper 2). Our results showed no significant association between change in inflammatory markers and change in bone mineral density in women transitioning to menopause. However, in premenopausal women hs-CRP was negatively associated with total, lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density and along with weight and cardiorespiratory fitness may play a role in bone mineral density variation. Baseline level of hs-CRP, Hp, IL-6 and femoral neck bone mineral density along with percent change in physical activity energy expenditure and menopausal status partly explained the individual variation of bone mineral density losses in women transitioning to menopause. Finally, we investigated time spent in the postmenopausal years and the influence of the duration of the postmenopause status on body composition and cardiometabolic risk factors. We indicated that postmenopausal years and years since menopause is associated with decrease in blood glucose and increase in waist circumference, percent fat mass, total cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein. Inflammatory markers including ApoB, ferritin, adiponectin, sCD14 were higher during years after final menstrual period while sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 were higher during the menopause transition and early postmenopausal years.

description: A Multi-Scaffolding Environment (MSE) is a multimedia environment reliant on authentic scaffolding. We examine the impact of the availability of multiple scaffolds on learning and cognitive load within an MSE where learners are assigned a real-world task and given access to four support tools to help them complete the task. By examining an MSE in the area of geographic literacy, we explore the effectiveness of problem-based learning and whether multiple scaffolding is applicable to any content area. Quantitative and qualitative data indicate that a learner-controlled multi-scaffolding approach may be a valuable approach in problem-based learning contexts.

The relationship between dorsiflexion range of motion and lower extremity movement patterns and muscle activation
Creators: name: Macrum, Elisabeth Corliss
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Objective: To determine the effect of induced gastrocnemius/soleus tightness on lower extremity kinematics and muscle activity. Design: Cross-sectional. Subjects: Healthy recreationally active subjects (n = 30, mean Height plus minus SD = 173.5 plus minus 12.1, Mean Weight plus minus SD = 72.0 plus minus 16.4). Measurements: Clinically measured dorsiflexion was assessed prior to collection of kinematic data. Participants performed five trials of an overhead squat with a 10 degree incline wedge placed under each foot (wedge condition) and without the wedge (no wedge condition). Three dimensional kinematics for the hip, knee, and ankle and electromyography of the VL, VMO, lateral gastrocnemius, and soleus were collected during the squatting tasks. Separate repeated measures ANOVAs were performed to determine differences in kinematics and EMG during the wedge and no-wedge conditions. Results: During the wedge condition, sagittal and frontal plane motion at the knee and muscle activity of the vastus medialis oblique, vastus lateralis, and soleus, were significantly different as compared to the no wedge condition. Conclusion: Based on our findings, limiting dorsiflexion range of motion leads to compensations at the knee and changes in muscle activity in the lower extremity that may have implications in overuse and acute knee injury.

description: Disentangling biases from self-selection and shared built environment, as well as the extent to which neighborhood social environment independently affects childhood obesity is crucial because of its different implications for public health policymaking. For example, interventions could be directed toward well-connected individuals within networks to leverage their potential multiplier effect. Or, interventions might prioritize that seek to change norms and attitudes, rather than target at aspects of the built or policy environment. The current project thus conducted a systematic scoping review to provide an overview of the current state of disentangling the social environment effects on childhood obesity, and to answer two questions: “What types of natural experiments are being used?” and “How are the conclusions drawn from existing natural experiments?” Currently, this review has finished searching and screening literature, and progressed to the stage of data extraction, data analysis and manuscript write-up.

The Classification of Mandarin Idiomatic VP
Creators: name: An, Hui
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Due to their uncommon meaning-form pairing, idioms have always been a center piece in discussions about how human mind stores and computes meaning. Based on the composition of their aspectual properties, this thesis classifies Mandarin idiomatic VPs into five different categories to show that certain idioms can be argued to have aspect put together in the syntax while others are best described to have their aspectual properties stored as a whole in the lexicon. This complex result adds partial support to both Representational Modularity and Distributed Morphology, meanwhile providing more cross-linguistic evidence to the discussion on idiomatic meaning-form pairing.

The impact of pericoronitis on health related quality of life
Creators: name: McNutt, Matthew David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Subjects and Methods: Healthy subjects with pericoronitis were enrolled in an IRB approved study. Subject's were given a Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) instrument to assess the impact of pericoronitis in the previous week on: pain, lifestyle, and oral function. The impact of pericoronitis in the previous three months was recorded on Oral Health Impact Profile(OHIP-14). Because of sample size, analyses are limited to descriptive statistics. Results: Forty percent reported worst pain as severe. Oral function was compromised "quite a bit / lots" for eating 30%, chewing 23%, mouth opening 10%. Mean OHIP severity score was 27 of 56. Conclusion: When clinicians carefully consider options for pain management in patients undergoing palliative treatment for acute pericoronitis, the reported data may alter their recommendations. In summary, acute episodes of pericoronitis can be associated with adverse life outcomes similar to the impact of third molar removal on pain and oral function.

description: We describe tunable optical sawtooth and zigzag lattices for ultracold atoms. Making use of the superlattice generated by commensurate wavelengths of light beams, tunable geometries including zigzag and sawtooth configurations can be realised. We provide an experimentally feasible method to fully control inter- ($t$) and intra- ($t'$) unit-cell tunnelling in zigzag and sawtooth lattices. We analyse the conversion of the lattice geometry from zigzag to sawtooth, and show that a nearly flat band is attainable in the sawtooth configuration by means of tuning the lattice parameters. The bandwidth of the first excited band can be reduced up to 2$\%$ of the ground bandwidth for a wide range of lattice setting. A nearly flat band available in a tunable sawtooth lattice would offer a versatile platform for the study of interaction-driven quantum many-body states with ultracold atoms.

description: Free-standing graphene is inherently crumpled in the out-of-plane direction due to dynamic flexural phonons and static wrinkling. We explore the consequences of this crumpling on the effective mechanical constants of graphene. We develop a sensitive experimental approach to probe stretching of graphene membranes under low applied stress at cryogenic to room temperatures. We find that the in-plane stiffness of graphene is between 20 and 100 N/m at room temperature, much smaller than 340 N/m (the value expected for flat graphene). Moreover, while the in-plane stiffness only increases moderately when the devices are cooled down to 10 K, it approaches 300 N/m when the aspect ratio of graphene membranes is increased. These results indicate that softening of graphene at temperatures less than 400 K is caused by static wrinkling, with only a small contribution due to flexural phonons. Together, these results explain the large variation in reported mechanical constants of graphene devices and paves the way towards controlling their mechanical properties.

Exploring The Causal Role Of Neural Oscillations In Endogenous And Exogenous Attention: Different Effects Of 40 Hz And 10 Hz Tacs Stimulation
Creators: name: Parsons, Jonathan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Previous electrophysiological studies strongly implicate a role for both alpha (8 – 12 Hz) and gamma (30 – 120 Hz) oscillations in selective attention. However, establishing causality requires inducing these oscillations in the brain and observing the behavioral changes that result. To this end, we stimulated participants’ right posterior parietal cortex at 10 Hz, 40 Hz or sham while they performed two separate cueing tasks—one endogenous and one exogenous. Stimulation at 40 Hz speeded responses to invalidly-cued targets, suggesting a facilitation of voluntary attentional shifting. There was also a marginal effect of 10 Hz stimulation, such that responses to invalidly-cued targets in the exogenous task were slowed. Possible reasons for a lack of lateralized effects are discussed. These results provide new information about the causal roles of different frequencies of neural oscillation in facilitating visuospatial attention, providing support for frequency-specific effects.

Some Los Angeles photobooks: Ed Ruscha and the city
Creators: name: Clay, Ashley Lynn
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: Throughout the 1960s and 70s, Los Angeles-based artist Ed Ruscha began publishing mass-produced books of photographs that were a departure from the traditional form of the livre d'artist. Ruscha's photobooks serve as one of the progenitors of the conceptual art movement of the mid-to-late 1960s. While the subjects of the books vary, several of them relate to the city of Los Angeles. This thesis argues that Ruscha's interaction with the city of Los Angeles is a crucial element in both the process of the books' production and the objects themselves by drawing upon theories of place from the fields of philosophy and human geography. The photobooks serve as artistic evidence that the term place signifies something much greater than the merely physical. Ruscha's Los Angeles photobooks indicate that human participation, engagement, and connection with the city are all crucial to what it means to be in a place.
THE EFFECT OF IMAGE ENHANCEMENTS AND DUAL OBSERVERS ON PROXIMAL CARIES DETECTION
Creators: name: Gray, Benjamin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: New technologies, including image enhancements, have been developed in order to increase diagnostic accuracy for caries detection. Very little data exists as to whether or not these enhancements actually improve accuracy. Low technology solutions to improving early caries diagnosis, such as using dual observers, have not been tested. Our aims were to determine if certain image enhancements and dual observers had an effect on three diagnostic tasks. Seven observers viewed unenhanced and enhanced images taken on PSP and Schick 33 sensors and were asked to determine whether proximal caries lesions, dentin extension, and cavitation were present. Pairs of observers also evaluated the unenhanced PSP images and recorded their confidence. Micro-CT was used as the gold standard. For caries lesion detection, PSP outperformed Schick 33 sensors. Observers (single and dual), filters, and receptors had no effect on the other diagnostic tasks. Observers were more reliable in detecting dentin extension with Schick sensors.

description: Near-infrared observations of stellar orbits at the Galactic Center provide conclusive evidence for a massive black hole associated with the compact radio source Sgr A*. The astrometric reference frame for these observations is tied to a set of red giant stars, which are also detectable at radio wavelengths through SiO maser emission in their envelopes. We have improved the precision and long-term stability of this reference frame, in which Sgr A* is localized to within a factor 5 better than previously: ~0.17 mas in position (in 2009) and ~0.07 mas/yr in velocity. This improvement is the result of modeling and correcting optical distortion in the VLT/NACO imager to a sub-mas level and including new infrared and radio measurements, which now both span more than a decade in time. A further improvement will follow future observations and facilitate the detection of relativistic orbital effects.

description: Mental health and substance use (MH/SU) disorders pose a significant risk to the health and well-being of women, pregnant people, and infants. The opioid epidemic and the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 epidemic have drawn national attention to MH/SU disorders among women and children and concerns about long term impact of these disorders on individuals and communities. Identification and treatment of MH/SU disorders among women of reproductive age (WRA) and pregnant people must be effective and responsive to the unique needs of this population and their children. This study utilized hospital discharge data and birth certificate data to estimate rates of hospitalizations for MH/SU disorders among WRA and MH/SU disorders documented at live deliveries in Illinois from 2016-2017. For the analysis on deliveries with MH/SU disorders documented, the hospital discharge data were linked to the birth certificate using a probabilistic match and the dataset was deduplicated to include only the first delivery per birthing person during the study period. There were three aims of this analysis: 1). Identify hospitalizations for mental health (MH), substance use (SU), and MH and SU co-diagnosed disorders among WRA in Illinois in 2016-2017, 2). Identify live deliveries with MH, SU, co-diagnosed disorders documented on the delivery record in Illinois in 2016-2017, and 3). Assess the association between MH/SU disorders documented at delivery and chronic health and perinatal outcomes. This analysis demonstrated that hospitalizations for MH/SU disorders occurred frequently among WRA in Illinois. Further, these disorders were commonly documented on delivery records. Severe diagnoses occurred made up the majority of diagnoses in both hospitalizations and disorder-documented deliveries. Rates of both MH/SU hospitalizations and disorder-documented deliveries demonstrated important inequities, with people living in rural counties and people with public insurance more likely to be affected. Among live deliveries, people with MH/SU disorders documented were significantly more likely to experience chronic health conditions originating before pregnancy, obstetric co-morbidities during pregnancy, severe maternal morbidity, and preterm birth. Despite the higher rate of chronic and obstetric co-morbidities and the adverse perinatal outcomes experienced, patients with MH/SU disorders were significantly less likely to receive adequate prenatal care. This study suggests several important public health and clinical implications. Increased access to outpatient MH/SU services, especially in rural areas, may improve health throughout the life course for women and children. Prenatal care should be accessible and affirming for patients with SU disorder and may help to address some of the poor outcomes experienced by patients with SU disorder. Effective treatments for MH/SU disorders exist and have been shown to mitigate harm to patients and families.

description: We investigate equatorial geodesics in the gravitational field of a rotating and deformed source described by the approximate Hartle-Thorne metric. In the case of massive particles, we derive within the same approximation analytic expressions for the orbital angular velocity, the specific angular momentum and energy, and the radii of marginally stable and marginally bound circular orbits. Moreover, we calculate the orbital angular velocity and the radius of lightlike circular geodesics. We study numerically the frame dragging effect and the influence of the quadrupolar deformation of the source on the motion of test particles. We show that the effects originating from the rotation can be balanced by the effects due to the oblateness of the source.

On the special role of faithfulness constraints in morphology-sensitive phonology: The M-Faithfulness Model
Creators: name: Fuller, Matthew Everett
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: A number of accounts of morpheme boundary-sensitive phonology have been proposed - Stratal OT (Bermúdez-Otero 2013), Coloured Containment (van Oostendorp 2007), Local Constraint Conjunction (Lubowicz 2002). This thesis considers a number of case studies and demonstrates that none among these existing models can account for the range of boundary-sensitive phonological processes which exist. A new model, M-Faithfulness, is presented which can successfully analyze all of these case studies, including those which other models cannot. The M-Faithfulness model includes two crucial points - one, faithfulness constraints may refer to morphological information in the input only, and two, these faithfulness constraints may target non-morpheme-peripheral material. Along these lines, a new constraint family, M-IDENT, is proposed which extends the idea of IDENT constraints to specifically target morpheme-internal information.
Forging frontiers: Félix de Azara and the making of the Virreinato del Río de la Plata

description: This essay examines the geographical production of the Virreinato del Río de la Plata and the formation of its northern frontier with Brazil. I use the work of Félix de Azara to demonstrate how he and other cartographers transformed the administrative apparatus of the viceroyalty into a spatial enterprise. I argue that mapping was an integral technique of colonial governance that engendered material consequences, and that the spatial vision of the viceroyalty was challenged even in the process of its reproduction. The essay is broken into four parts. In the first two, I examine the overlapping and mobile patterns of human settlement along the interstate borderlands and how Azara negotiated and abstracted them to create readable maps. The third section focuses on resettlement programs that Azara oversaw to populate the frontier, while the fourth provides a close reading of the maps and natural history that he published of the region.

description: Understanding the role played by the microstructure of materials on their macroscopic failure properties is an important challenge in solid mechanics. Indeed, when a crack propagates at a heterogeneous brittle interface, the front is trapped by tougher regions and deforms. This pinning induces non-linearities in the crack propagation problem, even within Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics theory, and modifies the overall failure properties of the material. For example crack front pinning by tougher places could increase the fracture resistance of multilayer structures, with interesting technological applications. Analytical perturbation approaches, based on Bueckner-Rice elastic line models, focus on the crack front perturbations, hence allow for a description of these phenomena. Here, they are applied to experiments investigating the propagation of a purely interfacial crack in a simple toughness pattern: a single defect strip surrounded by homogeneous interface. We show that by taking into account the finite size of the body, quantitative agreement with experimental and finite elements results is achieved. In particular this method allows to predict the toughness contrast, i.e. the toughness difference between the single defect strip and its homogeneous surrounding medium. This opens the way to a more accurate use of the perturbation method to study more disordered heterogeneous materials, where the finite elements method is less adequate. From our results, we also propose a simple method to determine the adhesion energy of tough interfaces by measuring the crack front deformation induced by known interface patterns.

description: Abstract for Human Cell Atlas General Meeting:

 Defining and cataloging human cell types is a challenge with technical and social considerations. In this piece, we propose a conjunction of the Cell Ontology notion of cell classes with Slater's definition of Stable Property Clusters. We further split the concept in four: sensu stricto cell types, archetypes, infratypes, and technotypes. These domains respectively specify cell type concepts applied to a single species, multiple species, populations below the species level, and particular experiments. Our framework contributes to knowledge representation in the Cell Ontology and the Human Cell Atlas and offers both practical and philosophical perspectives to understanding cell types.

 Note:  After sending the abstract, the work was expanded to discuss the concept of "atomic cell types", and how it can be useful to knowledge bases such as cellxgene in their task of organizing single-cell RNA-seq data.
