description: We discuss the strong couplings $g_{PPV}$ and $g_{VVP}$ for vector ($V$) and pseudoscalar ($P$) mesons, at least one of which is a charmonium state $J/ψ$ or $η_c$. The strong couplings are obtained as residues at the poles of suitable form factors, calculated in a broad range of momentum transfers using a dispersion formulation of the relativistic constituent quark model. The form factors obtained in this approach satisfy all constraints known for these quantities in the heavy-quark limit. Our results suggest sizably higher values for the strong meson couplings than those reported in the literature from QCD sum rules.

description: Studying the factorization theory of numerical monoids relies on understanding several important factorization invariants, including length sets, delta sets, and $ω$-primality. While progress in this field has been accelerated by the use of computer algebra systems, many existing algorithms are computationally infeasible for numerical monoids with several irreducible elements. In this paper, we present dynamic algorithms for the factorization set, length set, delta set, and $ω$-primality in numerical monoids and demonstrate that these algorithms give significant improvements in runtime and memory usage. In describing our dynamic approach to computing $ω$-primality, we extend the usual definition of this invariant to the quotient group of the monoid and show that several useful results naturally extend to this broader setting.
Factors associated with safe child feces disposal: evidence across Ethiopia, India, and Zambia
Creators: name: Beardsley, Rachel

description: Over 50% of households with children under three report that their children’s feces were unsafely disposed. Unsafe child feces disposal (CFD)leaves many people at risk of exposure to fecal-oral pathogens. I analyzed data from a cross-sectional survey of water, sanitation, and hygiene programming in rural Ethiopia, India, and Zambia. Binary and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with safe CFD in Ethiopia, India, and Zambia. Sixty-two percent of households did not dispose of child feces safely. In India and Zambia, there was a significant association between a household member open defecating and unsafe child feces disposal (India: OR=0.29, Zambia: p=0.004; OR=0.37, p=0.001. In India, there was a significant association between the female head of household attending primary school and households practicing safe CFD (OR=2.20, p=0.012). If a respondent spoke to someone (such as a community health worker or community leader) about cleanliness was significantly associated with safe CFD practices in Ethiopia (OR=2.15, p=0.001). In Zambia, if a respondent washed hands after cleaning a baby they were significantly more likely to practice safe CFD (OR=1.81, p=0.050). Safe CFD needs to be incorporated into more programs and should be explicitly mentioned in information about healthy behaviors. More studies should be done on the causes, determinants, and behaviors of CFD.

description: Long-term records of sunspot number and concentrations of cosmogenic radionuclides (10Be and 14C) on the Earth reveal the variation of the Sun's magnetic activity over hundreds and thousands of years. We identify several clear periods in sunspot, 10Be, and 14C data as 1000, 500, 350, 200 and 100 years. We found that the periods of the first five spherical harmonics of the slow magnetic Rossby mode in the presence of a steady toroidal magnetic field of 1200-1300 G in the lower tachocline are in perfect agreement with the time scales of observed variations. The steady toroidal magnetic field can be generated in the lower tachocline either due to the steady dynamo magnetic field for low magnetic diffusivity or due to the action of the latitudinal differential rotation on the weak poloidal primordial magnetic field, which penetrates from the radiative interior. The slow magnetic Rossby waves lead to variations of the steady toroidal magnetic field in the lower tachocline, which modulate the dynamo magnetic field and consequently the solar cycle strength. This result constitutes a key point for long-term prediction of the cycle strength. According to our model, the next deep minimum in solar activity is expected during the first half of this century.

description: Unconventional superconductivity in heavy-fermion systems appears often near magnetic quantum critical points (QCPs). This seems to be the case also for CeRh2As2 (Tc $\approx$ 0.31 K). CeRh2As2 shows two superconducting (SC) phases, SC1 and SC2, for a magnetic field along the c axis of the tetragonal unit cell, but only the SC1 phase is observed for a field along the basal plane. Furthermore, another ordered state (phase-I) is observed below T0 $\approx$ 0.48 K whose nature is still unclear: Thermodynamic and magnetic measurements pointed to a non magnetic multipolar state, but recent $μ$SR and NQR/NMR experiments have clearly detected antiferromagnetic (AFM) order below T0 . Also, quasi-two-dimensional AFM fluctuations were observed in NMR and neutron-scattering experiments above T0. The proximity of a QCP is indicated by non-Fermi-liquid (NFL) behavior observed above the ordered states in both specific heat $C(T)/T \propto T^{-0.6}$ and resistivity $ρ(T) \propto T^{0.5}$. These T-dependencies are not compatible with any generic AFM QCP. Because of the strong magnetic-field anisotropy of both the SC phase and phase I, it is possible to study a field-induced SC QCP as well a phase-I QCP by varying the angle $α$ between the field and the c axis. Thus, by examining the behavior of the electronic specific-heat coefficient C(T)/T across these QCPs, we can determine which phase is associated with the NFL behavior. Here, we present low-temperature specific-heat measurements taken in a magnetic field as high as 21 T applied at several angles $α$. We observe that the NFL behavior does very weakly depend on the field and on the angle $α$, a result that is at odd with that observations in standard magnetic QCPs. This suggests a nonmagnetic origin of the quantum critical fluctuations.

The Gender Funding Gap Within the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in the United States: Does a Correlation Exist Among Gender, Industry, and Funding?
Creators: name: Staker, Abigail (Abby)
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Recent studies highlight females’ positive impact within the business world and entrepreneurial ecosystem. Within the entrepreneurial ecosystem, however, females lag behind their male counterparts in funding accumulation. Previous research identified three primary causes to this discrepancy: (1) lack of females in the financial capital industry, (2) implicit bias, and (3) female- versus male-owned company characteristics and owner attitudes. What isn’t addressed, however, is an analysis of the industries pursued by females versus males. My study identifies and attempts to understand underlying causes in gender funding differences based on industry. I use a mixed-method approach of quantitative and qualitative analysis. My findings suggest (1) industry does not exhibit a significant role in gender funding differences, (2) implicit bias continues to plague females, and (3) females are underrepresented across all industry lines. Females receive fewer investment dollars than their male counterparts, appearing to directly correlate to the limited number of females entering the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

description: BACKGROUND: Diagnostic sensitivities of point-of-care SARS-CoV-2 assays depend on specimen type and population-specific viral loads. Evaluation of these assays require "direct" specimens from paired-swab studies rather than more accessible residual specimens in viral transport media (VTM). METHODS: Residual VTM and limit-of-detection studies were conducted on Abbott ID NOW™ COVID-19, Quidel Sofia 2™ SARS Antigen FIA, and DiaSorin Simplexa™ COVID-19 Direct assays, with cycle threshold (CT) adjustments to approximate direct-specimen testing based on gene-target doubling each PCR cycle. Logistic regression was used to model assay performance by specimen CT. These models were applied to CT distributions of symptomatic and asymptomatic populations presenting to emergency services to predict the percentage of specimens that would be detected by each assay. A 96-sample paired-swab study was conducted to confirm model results. RESULTS: When using direct nasopharyngeal samples and fit with either VTM or limit-of-detection data, percent positivities for ID NOW (symptomatic 94.9%/97.4%; asymptomatic 88.4.0%/89.6%) and Simplexa (symptomatic 97.8%/97.2%; asymptomatic 91.1%/90.8%) were predicted to be similar. Likewise, percent positivities for ID NOW with direct nasal specimens (symptomatic 77.8%; asymptomatic 64.5%) and, fit with VTM data, Sofia 2 with direct nasopharyngeal specimens (symptomatic 76.6%, asymptomatic 60.3%) were similar. The paired-swab study comparing direct nasopharyngeal specimens on ID NOW and nasopharyngeal VTM specimens on Simplexa showed 99% concordance. CONCLUSIONS: Assay performance can be modeled as dependent on viral load, fit using laboratory bench study results, and adjusted to account for direct-specimen testing. When using nasopharyngeal specimens, direct testing on Abbott ID NOW and VTM testing on DiaSorin Simplexa have similar performance.

description: We develop the formalism for production of a fully heavy tetraquark and apply it to the calculation of $pp\to T_{4c}+X$ cross-sections. We demonstrate that the production cross-section of a fully heavy tetraquark, even if it is a diquark-antidiquark cluster, can be obtained in the meson-like basis, for which the spin-color projection technique is well established. Prompted by the recent LHCb, ATLAS and CMS data, we perform a pQCD calculation of ${\cal O}(α_s^5)$ short-distance factors in the dominant channel of gluon fusion, and match these to the four-body $T_{4c}$ wave functions in order to obtain the unpolarized $T_{4c}(0^{++},1^{+-},2^{++})$ cross-sections. The novelty in comparison with the recently published article~\cite{Feng:2023agq} lies in the fact that we predict the absolute values as well as the $dσ/dp_T$ spectra in the kinematic ranges accessible at the ongoing LHC experiments. From the comparison with the signal yield at LHCb we derive the constraints on the $Φ\cdot\text{Br}(J/ψ\,J/ψ)$ (reduced wave function times branching) product for the $T_{4c}$ candidates for $X(6900)$ and observe that $X(6900)$ is compatible with a $2^{++}(2S)$ state.

description: Importance: While current evidence supports UV exposure as an important risk factor for cutaneous melanoma in fair-skinned populations, the evidence for this association in skin of color is less certain. Objective: To critically assess and synthesize the published data regarding the association between UV exposure and the risk of cutaneous melanoma in skin of color. Evidence Review: A search was conducted including PubMed, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases from database origin to June 3, 2020. Only peer-reviewed original studies were screened in full text. Eligible studies analyzed UV exposure as a risk factor for cutaneous melanoma in people with skin of color, which was defined broadly as any race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic White, Fitzpatrick skin types IV through VI, or tanning ability of rarely or never burns. Measures of UV exposure included UV index, irradiance, latitude, history of phototherapy, and history of sunburn. Evidence quality was assessed using criteria from the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. Findings: After duplicate removal, 11 059 database records were screened, 548 full-text articles were assessed, and 13 met inclusion criteria. Study types included 7 ecological studies, 5 cohort studies, and 1 case-control study. All studies used race and/or ethnicity to categorize the participants, and more than 7700 melanomas in skin of color were included. Of the 13 studies that met inclusion criteria, 11 found no association between UV exposure and melanoma in skin of color, 1 study showed a small positive relationship in Black males, and 1 showed a weak association in Hispanic males. All studies were of moderate to low quality (Oxford Centre ratings 2b to 4). Conclusions and Relevance: In this systematic review, the evidence suggests that UV exposure may not be an important risk factor for melanoma development in people with skin of color. Current recommendations promoting UV protection for melanoma prevention in skin of color are not supported by most current studies. However, evidence is of moderate to low quality, and further research is required to fully elucidate this association.

description: Our paper deals with a Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) and its implementation on a Software Defined Radio (SDR) for IEEE 802.15.4e Networks. The network nodes select the carrier frequency after Energy-Detection based Spectrum Sensing (SS). To ensure frequency hoping between two nodes in IEEE 802.15.4e Network, we propose a synchronization algorithm. We considerate the IEEE 802.15.4e Network is Secondary User (SU), and all other networks are Primary Users (PUs) in unlicensed 868/915 MHz and 2450 MHz bands of a Cognitive Radio (CR). However, the algorithm and the energy-sensor have been implemented over GNU Radio and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) SDR. In addition, real packet transmissions have been performed in two cases. In the first case, SU communicates in static carrier-frequency, while in the second case with the implemented DSA. For each case, PU transmitter disturbs SU, which calculates Packet Success Rate (PSR) to measure the robustness of a used DSA. The obtained PSR is improved by 80\% when the SU accomplished DSA rather than a static access.

Mediation of Psychological Needs in Relationships Among Coach Leadership Styles and Athlete Burnout
Creators: name: Curtin, Meghan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Athlete burnout is a negative syndrome of concern for the psychological well-being of participants. Based on the framework of self-determination theory, coach behaviors play an important role in an athlete’s propensity for burnout through their influence on basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, which result in variation in motivation. The purpose of this study was to investigate what bivariate associations exist between athletes’ perceptions of their coach’s leadership behaviors, dimensions of athlete burnout, and psychological need satisfaction and thwarting, and to determine whether  psychological needs variables mediate the relationships among leadership styles and burnout scores. Significant associations were observed among autocratic leadership, need thwarting variables (autonomy and competence) and burnout, as well as among democratic leadership, need satisfaction (autonomy) and thwarting variables and burnout. Autonomy satisfaction and need thwarting variables were significant predictors of burnout, and found to partially mediate relationships among democratic behaviors and burnout, and fully mediation relationships among autocratic behaviors and burnout. Findings strengthen the role of psychological needs in self-determination theory explanations of coach leadership-athlete burnout relationships, and the potential for future research regarding mediation via psychological need satisfaction and thwarting. The current study results suggest coach behaviors should be modified to avoid frustration of, and facilitate satisfaction of psychological needs.

Design and synthesis of donor moieties for donor polymers and non-fullerene acceptors for use in organic solar cells
Creators: name: Bradshaw, Spencer

description: Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on bulk heterojunction (BHJ) design have shown substantial promise in the field of renewable alternative energy because of their numerous advantages over traditional inorganic solar cells. Such benefits include low manufacturing costs, light weight, and potential applications on diverse substrates such as flexible films. Ongoing research into BHJ-OSCs has afforded significant performance improvements in recent decades, but further performance optimizations are required before widespread commercialization of organic photovoltaics becomes realistic. The “active layer” of BHJ-OSCs is comprised of the p-type electron donor polymer and n-type electron acceptor, and prior work has shown that both play a role in device performance; as such, this work comprises the design and synthesis of (1) several electron donating monomers of donor polymers and (2) several electron donating moieties of fused-ring non-fullerene acceptors. The synthesis of three different benzodithiophene-based electron donating monomers is herein described. In addition, the design and attempted synthesis of four different non-fullerene fused-ring acceptors is presented, but synthetic optimizations are necessary before these acceptors are successfully synthesized.

description: We consider a system of interacting spin-one atoms in a hexagonal lattice under the presence of a synthetic gauge field. Quenching the quadratic Zeeman field is shown to lead to a dynamical instability of the edge modes. This, in turn, leads to a spin current along the boundary of the system which grows exponentially fast in time following the quench. Tuning the magnitude of the quench can be used to selectively populate edge modes of different momenta. Implications of the intrinsic symmetries of Hamiltonian on the dynamics are discussed. The results hold for atoms with both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions.

description: We present a weak lensing analysis of the galaxy cluster Abell 2390 at z = 0.23 using second moment shape measurements made in 411 short 60s exposures. The exposures are obtained in three broadband photometric filters (g, r, i) using WIYN-ODI. Shape measurement in individual exposures is done using a moment matching algorithm. Forced measurement is used when the moment matching algorithm fails to converge at low signal to noise ratio (SNR). The measurements made in individual images are combined using inverse error weight to obtain accurate shape of sources and hence recover shear. We use PhoSim simulations to validate shear measurements recovered by our pipeline. We find the mass of Abell 2390 is in agreement with previously published results. We also find the E-Mode maps show filamentary structures consistent with baryonic structures and recovers most clusters/groups of galaxies found using Optical and X-Ray data. Thus we demonstrate the feasibility of using Weak Lensing to map large scale structure of the universe. We also find the central portion of the cluster has a bimodal mass distribution and the relative orientation of the peaks are similar to X-Ray. We discuss earlier research on this galaxy cluster and show that a late stage merger accounts for all the observed data.

A Quality Improvement Initiative to Increase Adolescent Depression Screening in Primary Care
Creators: name: Bittinger, Faith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: BACKGROUND:  About 13% of the US population aged 12-17 have had one major depressive episode and approximately 60% of them did not receive treatment. Screening for adolescent depression is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the United States Presentative Services Task Force (USPSTF). At the University of North Carolina (UNC) Children’s Primary Care Clinic, the clinic wide screening for adolescent depression was 45% clinic which is less than recommended.  
METHODS: Using the Model for Improvement, this initiative aimed to identify at least three clinic-based barriers and improve clinic wide documentation of adolescent depression screening rates to 67% with interventions directed towards the staff of the clinic through PDSA cycles. 
INTERVENTION: An in-depth chart review and a survey of providers were completed to identify barriers to screening for adolescent depression as well as education implemented regarding documentation and use of EPIC Reporting. A preexisting toolkit for treatment and referral for adolescent depression was highlighted as an available resource 
RESULTS: Barriers to screening teen patients for depression identified included documentation and wellness visit barriers. A pre-post point prevalence of teen wellness visits showed an improvement in from 80% to 94% (p=0.219) compliance with documentation of PHQ-9. 
CONCLUSION: This initiative has helped identify several barriers to adolescent depression screening and monitoring at UNC Children’s Primary Care Clinic. The clinic plans to continue this project and with the knowledge gained from identification of barriers with further use of the Model for Improvement and PDSA cycles to improve screening for adolescent depression.

The Role of the Jacobi Identity in Solving the Maurer-Cartan Structure Equation

description: We describe a method for solving the Maurer-Cartan structure equation associated with a Lie algebra that isolates the role of the Jacobi identity as an obstruction to integration. We show that the method naturally adapts to two other interesting situations: local symplectic realizations of Poisson structures, in which case our method sheds light on the role of the Poisson condition as an obstruction to realization; and the Maurer-Cartan structure equation associated with a Lie algebroid, in which case we obtain an explicit formula for a solution to the equation which generalizes the well known formula in the case of Lie algebras.

The Effectiveness of State Laws Regarding Prisoner Reentry
Creators: name: Herring, Tiana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This study analyzes changes in state laws related to prisoner reentry in 37 states from 1991 to 2013 to understand what combination of programs are effective in reducing recidivism. Using an original data set on state laws, I tested how the following types of prisoner reentry reforms impacted recidivism: mental health services, educational opportunities, vocational training, post-release housing assistance, and community programs (such as community leave programs). Previous recidivism research has used smaller sample sizes, typically focusing on one state and the impact of one of the aforementioned programs. This study utilizes a greater sample size (n=10,496,722) across 37 states, and examines the impact of multiple programs to determine which programs are most effective in reducing recidivism. I contend that the more programs implemented by a state, the lower the state’s recidivism rate. My models revealed prisoners in states that had implemented mental health, educational, or community programs were less likely to recidivate. Employment programs produced mixed results across models and housing programs were not shown to lead to a reduction in recidivism. The outcome of my composite variable which included all reentry characteristics did not produce results consistent with my original hypothesis. However, after introducing an interaction variable, it was determined that recidivism is mediated by the amount of time someone served in prison. Given increasing public interest in addressing mass incarceration, the results from the study could have important policy implications for state legislators’ understandings of what programs are correlated with a reduction in recidivism.
