description: Nano oils comprising Graphene nanoflakes and CNTs have been experimentally observed for the first time to exhibit augmented dielectric breakdown strengths compared to the base transformer oils. Variant nano oils comprising different Gr and CNT samples suspended in two different grades of transformer oils have yielded consistent and high degrees of enhancement in the breakdown strength. The apparent counter intuitive phenomenon of enhancing insulating caliber of fluids utilizing nanostructures of high electronic conductance has been shown to be physically consistent thorough theoretical analysis. The crux mechanism has been pin pointed as efficient charge scavenging leading to hampered streamer growth and development, thereby delaying probability of complete ionization. The mathematical analysis presented provides a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms and physics of the electrohydrodynamics involved in the phenomena of enhanced breakdown strengths. Furthermore, the analysis is able to physically explain the various breakdown characteristics observed as functions of system parameters, such as, nanostructure type, size distribution, relative permittivity, base fluid dielectric properties, nanomaterial concentration and nano oil temperature. The mathematical analyses have been extended to propose a physically and dimensionally consistent analytical model to predict the enhanced breakdown strengths of such nano oils from involved constituent material properties and characteristics. The model has been observed to accurately predict the augmented insulating property, thereby rendering it as an extremely useful tool for efficient design and prediction of breakdown characteristics of nanostructure infused insulating fluids.

description: The study objective was to compare levels of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF), MCP-1 and RANTES in peri-partum women with periodontal disease to healthy controls. This is secondary analysis of Oral Conditions and Pregnancy (OCAP), a case-control study. Subjects (N=80) were stratified post-hoc based on periodontal status. An oral exam was performed within 72 hours after delivery. Cases (n=42) had moderate to severe/periodontitis ([greater than or equal to] 15 sites with PD[greater than or equal to] 4mm). Controls (n=38) had a healthy periodontium (PD[less than or equal to] 3mm). Pregnancy history was obtained through charts and interviews. Statistical tests included chi-square and t-test. Groups were balanced for age (p=0.57) but not race. Cases and controls were 17% and 82% Caucasian, respectively (p<0 .0001). There were no statistically significant (SS) differences between cases and controls. MCP-1 and RANTES were lower in cases than controls although not SS. There is no significant difference between MCP-1 and RANTES levels in women with periodontitis compared with healthy controls. The study was supported by NIDCR grant RO-1-DE-12453.

description: Wood is one of the main materials used for making musical instruments due to its outstanding acoustical properties. Despite such unique properties, its inferior mechanical properties, moisture sensitivity, and time- and cost-consuming procedure for making instruments in comparison with other materials (e.g., composites) are always considered as its disadvantages in making musical instruments. In this study, the acoustic parameters of three different polyester composites separately reinforced by carbon fiber, glass fiber, and hemp fiber are investigated and are also compared with those obtained for three different types of wood specimens called poplar, walnut, and beech wood, which have been extensively used in making Iranian traditional musical instruments. The acoustical properties such as acoustic coefficient, sound quality factor, and acoustic conversion factor were examined using some non-destructive tests based on longitudinal and flexural free vibration and also forced vibration methods. Furthermore, the water absorption of these polymeric composites was compared with that of the wood samples. The results reveal that the glass fiber-reinforced composites could be used as a suitable alternative for some types of wood in musical applications while the carbon fiber-reinforced composites are high performance materials to be substituted with wood in making musical instruments showing exceptional acoustical properties.

subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: Water scarcity is currently affecting the lives of billions of people all around the world, and the situation is worsening. Reverse osmosis (RO) water desalination is used as a predominant industrial solution of water scarcity. RO water desalination is to apply pressure on saline water toward a permeable membrane, while the membrane can filter out unwanted ions and allow fresh water to pass through. Traditional polymeric membranes used in the RO process are generally energy-inefficient because of the low water permeability. In recent years, 2D materials such as graphene with artificially-created nanopores have been widely researched as more efficient substitutions for traditional membranes. There are two factors that cast influence on the desalination performance of 2D materials: the material and the nanopore geometry. In this work, various 2D materials are compared for their performances in RO desalination using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Physical reasons behind the superior performances of materials such as \ce{MoS_2}, MXene, and metal-organic frameworks are unveiled. Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) model is trained to rapidly optimize graphene nanopore geometry by balancing the water permeation/ion rejection trade-off. DRL optimized nanopore geometries inspire the creation of more uniquely-shaped nanopores with much higher water permeation than regular circular nanopore without compromising the ion rejection capability. Lastly, neural network is used predict the ion concentration profile under nanoconfinement. It serves as a faster and accurate surrogate for molecular dynamics simulation to deepen our understanding about the electrical double layer in nanoconfined space, which is a critical physical phenomenon associated with RO desalination.

Pichia pastoris

description: Motivated by the surging demand of recombinant proteins and biofuels derived from renewable substrates, increasing attention has been paid to the development of novel strains via metabolic engineering strategies. Pichia pastoris is a eukaryotic platform suitable for protein expression and potentially for biofuel production due to its advantageous traits over Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this thesis, we constructed a xylanase-producing P. pastoris strain. The fungal xylanase Xyn11A was successfully overexpressed under the constitutive GAP promoter. Biochemical characterization of the xylanase revealed that Xyn11A is optimally active at 70 °C and pH 7.4. This xylanase was stable over a wide range of pH ranging from pH 2 to pH 11. Excellent thermal stability was observed at temperature 60 °C. Enhanced production of Xyn11A was achieved by investigating the effect of carbon source and feeding strategies. The highest xylanase activity was detected at 15000 U/mL using high cell density cultivation. Production of optically pure (2R, 3R)-2, 3-BD was achieved by engineering P. pastoris with a heterologous pathway. The pathway genes consisting of Bacillus subtilis alsS, alsD and S. cerevisiae BDH1 were assembled and transformed into P. pastoris. Cultivation conditions were optimized and the highest titer of 2, 3-BD obtained using YPD media was 45 g/L in fed-batch cultivation. To enhance the economic viability of 2, 3-BD production in P. pastoris, statistical medium optimization was performed. It was found that 75 g/L of 2, 3-BD was produced using optimized media in fed-batch cultivation.

description: Introduction: The number of stroke survivors living with post-stroke deficits is increasing worldwide. Although stroke rehabilitation can improve these deficits and promote the recovery of function when initiated early post-stroke, many survivors are not able to access rehabilitation because of a lack of resources. Early mobile tablet-based stroke rehabilitation may be a feasible means of improving access to recovery promoting therapies. Objective: To summarize and advance the knowledge of early mobile tablet-based therapies (MTBTs) for stroke survivors with regards to feasibility and barriers to care. Methods: This thesis is comprised of two major studies. (1) A scoping review summarizing the literature for MTBTs following stroke. (2) A cohort study testing the feasibility of a MTBT for post-stroke communication, cognitive, and fine-motor deficits. Results: (1) Twenty-three studies of MTBTs following stroke were identified. Most of these therapies targeted communication or fine-motor deficits, and involved patients in the chronic stages of stroke. Barriers to care were summarized. (2) A 48% recruitment rate was achieved and therapy was administered a median of four days post-stroke. However, therapy adherence was very low because of frequently encountered barriers to care. Conclusions: Stroke survivors are interested in using tablet technology to assist with their post-stroke recovery. However, early MTBT post-stroke may be challenging for some survivors because of encountered barriers to care. Regular patient-therapist communication using a convenient method of interaction appears necessary to minimize barriers and to help patients overcome barriers when they occur.

description: In this study, viscoelastic properties of polymeric composites were investigated through a non-destructive test (NDT) method based on longitudinal free vibration. First, three different polyester composites reinforced separately with carbon, glass, and hemp fibers, as well as, one polyester composite sample reinforced with poplar wood powder were manufactured via pultrusion and hand lay-up methods, respectively. In the proposed resonant free vibration non-destructive method, each rod-shaped test specimen was hit by a hammer at one end of specimen and immediately the acoustic response of the specimen was recorded by a microphone at the other end of the sample. Subsequently, the recorded sounds were analysed using fast Fourier transform technique. Then, frequency of the first mode of vibration for each composite specimen was utilised to calculate modulus of elasticity. Further, decrement in vibration energy as a function of time was examined to obtain loss parameter (tan δ) of the provided composites. Moreover, parameters (i.e., elastic modulus and tan δ) were also compared with those determined by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). It is found that the results obtained from the examined non-destructive test method are in consistent with those measured by DMTA approach, providing reliable, accurate and quick responses.

description: We report a systematic study of spin transport in antiferromagnetic (AF) insulators having a wide range of ordering temperatures. Spin current is dynamically injected from Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) into various AF insulators in Pt/insulator/YIG trilayers. Robust, long-distance spin transport in the AF insulators is observed, which shows strong correlation with the AF ordering temperatures. We find a striking linear relationship between the spin decay length in the AFs and the damping enhancement in YIG, suggesting the critical role of magnetic correlations in the AF insulators as well as at the AF/YIG interfaces for spin transport in magnetic insulators.

description: In many applications, viscoelastic properties of reinforced composites need to be determined prior to their real service life. Such properties can be assured by destructive and non-destructive tests. In this paper, a novel non-destructive test (NDT) method based on flexural free vibration is introduced to investigate the viscoelastic properties of fiber-reinforced composites. Three different types of industrial fibers (carbon, glass, and hemp) and an unsaturated polyester resin were selected to produce bar-shaped composites via pultrusion technique. These composite bars were used in a simple NDT method which just required a wooden hammer, two elastic jaws, a microphone and a recorder software program to perform the experiment. The composite bars were mounted on elastic jaws and hit by a wooden hammer at one end of the specimen as a perpendicular impulse. The produced sound at the other side of the bars was recorded. By analyzing the recorded sounds by means of fast Fourier transform (FFT), viscoelastic properties such as flexural elastic modulus and the loss parameter (Tan δ) were calculated for the fiber-reinforced composites. For determination of flexural elastic modulus, the first three modes of vibration in FFT graphs were analyzed using Temuschenco theory. Also, Tan δ was determined by analyzing the drop in the intensity of vibrational energy as a function of time. Although there was a slight discrepancy between the calculated values from the NDT method and the actual data from dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) approach, a good agreement was achieved between NDT and DMTA results.

description: We observe highly efficient dynamic spin injection from Y$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$ (YIG) into NiO, an antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator, via strong coupling, and robust spin propagation in NiO up to 100-nm thickness mediated by its AF spin correlations. Strikingly, the insertion of a thin NiO layer between YIG and Pt significantly enhances the spin currents driven into Pt, suggesting exceptionally high spin transfer efficiency at both YIG/NiO and NiO/Pt interfaces. This offers a powerful platform for studying AF spin pumping and AF dynamics as well as for exploration of spin manipulation in tailored structures comprising metallic and insulating ferromagnets, antiferromagnets and nonmagnetic materials.

Subjects: subject: Home schooling

description: This project examined how a Kindergarten teacher responded to a growing concern that several traditional methods of home-school communication were not adequately meeting the needs of teachers and parents. Using the cycle of action research, this paper explored the question: What do parents perceive to be the most effective method(s) of communication by the teacher with regard to weekly updates of classroom and program information? Data collected for this project included Parent and Teacher Questionnaires followed by a Parent Satisfaction Survey. Gathered over a six week study the data were analyzed, interpreted and represented in both qualitative and quantitative forms. By consulting scholarly literature, analyzing the quantitative and qualitative data and reflecting on the written feedback from the participants, this study provided a means for exploring both parents’ and teachers’ recommendations for providing more effective and efficient ways to communicate between the home and school.

description: Near-infrared (NIR) spectra that have an angular resolution of ~ 0.15 arcsec are used to examine the stellar content of the central regions of the nearby elliptical galaxy Maffei 1. The spectra were recorded at the Subaru Telescope, with wavefront distortions corrected by the RAVEN Multi-Object Adaptive Optics science demonstrator. The Ballick-Ramsey C_2 absorption bandhead near 1.76 microns is detected, and models in which 10 - 20% of the light near 1.8 microns originates from stars of spectral type C5 reproduce this feature. Archival NIR and mid-infrared images are also used to probe the structural and photometric properties of the galaxy. Comparisons with models suggest that an intermediate age population dominates the spectral energy distribution between 1 and 5 microns near the galaxy center. This is consistent not only with the presence of C stars, but also with the large HBeta index that has been measured previously for Maffei 1. The J-K color is more-or-less constant within 15 arcsec of the galaxy center, suggesting that the brightest red stars are well-mixed in this area.

Unveiling the agenda-building process for corporate social responsibility and the impacts of corporate communications on the process
Creators: name: Lee, Sun Young
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The four main purposes of the present study were to examine the following: 1) how the news media have discussed CSR-related issues, 2) what the main sources are for the media agenda as it relates to CSR issues, 3) how the media and sources interact to set the media agenda, and 4) what influence corporate communication efforts have on the agenda-building process. To explore these inquiries, press releases and news articles were content analyzed to represent the corporate agenda and the media agenda. As a result, a total of 7,672 press releases and 1,067 news articles were analyzed involving the 223 corporations in the study sample. For the monitoring group agenda, data from KLD, a secondary source, were used. All data were measured three times over a three-year period, from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2010. Three research questions were developed focusing on the degree of the media's attention to CSR news, the tone of the media's CSR coverage, and the sources for the media's CSR coverage. The results showed that 21.62% (n = 230) of news articles coded covered CSR issues, that the most common tone of CSR news coverage was neutral and mixed, and that corporate sources were the most used sources for CSR news coverage. Seven groups of hypotheses were designed to test the first level and the second level of agenda building. In order to examine the relationships among the corporate agenda, the media agenda, and the monitoring group agenda, a three-wave, three-variable model was developed. The simple summary of the results is as follows: the media determined who set the CSR agenda (first-level agenda building). At the attribute level of the agenda, the monitoring group had impacts on setting the negative attribute CSR agenda (second-level agenda building), but not on tone, whereas corporations had impacts on setting the positive tone of the CSR agenda (second-level agenda building), but not on substantive attributes. The contributions to agenda-building theory and the implications for corporate communications are discussed.

description: According to the motivated helplessness hypothesis, a sense of helplessness in coping with threats in a specific domain can serve an anxiety-buffering function (Lifshin, Mikulincer, & Kretchner, 2020). The purpose of this study was to test this hypothesis in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in Argentina, using data collected before and during the pandemic. Findings supported the motivated helplessness hypothesis: Whereas feelings of helplessness to avoid being infected with COVID-19 were positively related to fear of being infected with COVID-19 and state anxiety before the pandemic, these feelings were negatively related to fear of being infected (and not directly related to state anxiety) during the pandemic. These findings demonstrate the specificity of the motivated helplessness effect and further establish this effect in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

description: Magnetic field induced drastically augmented thermal conductivity of magneto nanocolloids involving magnetic oxide nanoparticles, viz. Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Nickel oxide (NiO), Cobalt oxide (Co3O4), dispersed in different base fluids (heat transfer oil, kerosene, and ethylene glycol) have been reported. Experiments reveal the augmented thermal transport under the external applied magnetic field, with kerosene based MNCs showing at relatively low magnetic field intensities as compared to the heat transfer oil and EG based MNCs. A maximum thermal conductivity enhancement of 114 % is attained at 7.0 vol. % concentration and 0.1 T field intensity for Fe3O4/EG magneto nanocolloid. However, a maximum of 82% thermal conductivity enhancement is observed for Fe3O4/Kerosene magneto nanocolloid for the same concentration but relatively at low magnetic field (600 G). Thereby, a strong effect of fluid as well as particle physical properties on the chain formation propensity, leading to enhanced conduction, in such systems is observed. Co3O4 nanoparticles show insignificant effect on the thermal conductivity enhancement of MNCs due to their minimal magnetic moment. An analytical approach has been proposed to understand the mechanism and physics behind the thermal conductivity enhancement under external applied magnetic field, in tune with near field magnetostatic interactions as well as Neel relaxivity of the magnetic nanoparticles. Furthermore, the analytical model is able to predict the phenomenon of enhanced thermal conductivity as a function of physical parameters such as chain length, size and types of nanoparticles, fluid characteristics, magnetic field intensity, saturation magnetic moment, nanoparticle concentration etc. and good agreement with the experimental results has been observed.

Gogolian spatial models and mankind's potential for redemption: a comparison of "The carriage" and Dead souls
Creators: name: Mason, Maxwell O.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This analysis explores Nikolai Gogol's utilization of spatial models in his short story "The Carriage" and his epic novel Dead Souls in an attempt to deduce a connection between a character's physical environment and his potential for redemption. These works are unique in that they reflect two distinct periods of a highly formative time in Gogol's theological development. "The Carriage," the earlier published of the two, represents this period's point of departure, whereas Dead Souls conveys the output of Gogol's complex journey. Employing the insight of Iurii Lotman, this study examines first the dominance of evil in the "static" environments of these two works and then its subordination to "boundless" space in Dead Souls. To replace his dominant model of evil even temporarily, though, Gogol was forced to extend his vision limitlessly, a task that was ultimately more than he could bear.

description: We tested the hypothesis that feelings of helplessness – i.e., the perception that one is unable to control and prevent negative events – may serve a protective psychological function against fear and anxiety arousal in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an international online sample (N = 3,632), we found a curvilinear relationship between feeling helpless to avoid being infected with COVID-19 and self-reported anxiety. Individuals who reported either low or high degrees of helplessness reported less anxiety and fear of being infected with COVID-19 compared to those who reported moderate levels of helplessness. Additional analyses within countries with adequate power (N over 160) indicated that this curvilinear effect was found among participants from the USA, UK, Poland, Estonia, and the Netherlands, but not in Argentina and Germany. We discuss the implications for research on the psychological function of helplessness and for understanding peoples’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The breakdown of superlubricity by driving-induced commensurate dislocations

description: In the framework of a Frenkel-Kontorova-like model, we address the robustness of the superlubricity phenomenon in an edge-driven system at large scales, highlighting the dynamical mechanisms leading to its failure due to the slider elasticity. The results of the numerical simulations perfectly match the length critical size derived from a parameter-free analytical model. By considering different driving and commensurability interface configurations, we explore the distinctive nature of the transition from superlubric to high-friction sliding states which occurs above the critical size, discovering the occurrence of previously undetected multiple dissipative jumps in the friction force as a function of the slider length. These driving-induced commensurate dislocations in the slider are then characterized in relation to their spatial localization and width, depending on the system parameters. Setting the ground to scale superlubricity up, this investigation provides a novel perspective on friction and nanomanipulation experiments and can serve as a theoretical basis for designing high-tech devices with specific superlow frictional features.
An Examination of Collegiate Basketball Players Early Entry into the NBA "Should I Go or Should I Stay?"

Subjects: Sports administration

description: Players going into the NBA before the end of their college eligibility has caused much discussion about the merit of their early departure from school. The discussion is based upon whether it is beneficial to go early or whether a player should stay for four years of school. This study compared base salary, longevity and minutes per game for collegiate players who left early for the NBA to those who stayed in college. Statistics were compiled of all collegiate players selected in the first and second rounds of the NBA draft from 1993 to 2004. Furthermore, this study explores the effects of early entry by player position. Mixed results were produced when including the grouping variable position. However, when examining classification by year of eligibility (freshman, sophomore, etc) only, it was concluded that collegiate NBA prospects leaving school early had better overall NBA careers than those who stayed in school. The results suggested freshmen prospects benefit more than any other class level from leaving school early to enter the NBA. Base salary, longevity, and production decreased as a player's collegiate classification increased.
