description: We consider spherically symmetric Einstein-massless-scalar field equations with negative cosmological constant in five dimensions and analyze evolution of small perturbations of anti-de Sitter spacetime using the recently proposed resonant approximation. We show that for typical initial data the solution of the resonant system develops an oscillatory singularity in finite time. This result hints at a possible route to establishing instability of AdS under arbitrarily small perturbations.

description: We present an evaluation of systematic effects associated with a continuously-rotating, ambient-temperature half-wave plate (HWP) based on two seasons of data from the Atacama B-Mode Search (ABS) experiment located in the Atacama Desert of Chile. The ABS experiment is a microwave telescope sensitive at 145 GHz. Here we present our in-field evaluation of celestial (CMB plus galactic foreground) temperature-to-polarization leakage. We decompose the leakage into scalar, dipole, and quadrupole leakage terms. We report a scalar leakage of ~0.01%, consistent with model expectations and an order of magnitude smaller than other CMB experiments have reported. No significant dipole or quadrupole terms are detected; we constrain each to be <0.07% (95% confidence), limited by statistical uncertainty in our measurement. Dipole and quadrupole leakage at this level lead to systematic error on r<0.01 before any mitigation due to scan cross-linking or boresight rotation. The measured scalar leakage and the theoretical level of dipole and quadrupole leakage produce systematic error of r<0.001 for the ABS survey and focal-plane layout before any data correction such as so-called deprojection. This demonstrates that ABS achieves significant beam systematic error mitigation from its HWP and shows the promise of continuously-rotating HWPs for future experiments.

A New Approach to Disability Prevention in the Medicare Population: Implications and Strategies for Implementation
Creators: name: Yeoman, Kristin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Medicare is the federally-administered health insurance program that serves individuals over 65 who meet eligibility requirements. The solvency ofthis program has become a topic of much debate within health policy circles. As the number of Medicare beneficiaries is expected to increase significantly during the coming decades, emphasis has been placed on cost containment and quality improvement. A significant number of elders reports functional and cognitive impairments. Furthermore, the vast majority of beneficiaries reports at least one chronic illness. Chronic illness and functional impairment both increase the risk for future disability. Functional decline and disability are directly responsible for short- and long-term health care costs, and certain health and lifestyle characteristics such as heart disease, diabetes, smoking, body mass index, and physical activity have been shown to predict future disability. Thus, Medicare must transition from an acute care focus to alternative methods of chronic care management, disease and disability prevention. Community-based interventions to promote lifestyle modifications and chronic disease management have been evaluated and proven effective in decreasing disability and health resource use. These community-based efforts will need to be developed in conjunction with office-based chronic care management strategies. This paper reviews effective community-based interventions in order to recommend a new model of community-based health promotion for Medicare beneficiaries. In order for this type of model to be successful, Medicare will need to change its reimbursement policies that currently promote office-based, procedurallyoriented care to policies that enhance a team approach to disability prevention and health promotion among seniors.

description: We studied two BaFe2-xNixAs2 (Ni-doped Ba-122) single crystals at two dfferent doping levels (underdoped and optimally doped) using an optical spectroscopic technique. The underdoped sample shows a magnetic phase transition around 80 K. We analyze the data with a Drude-Lorentz model with two Drude components (D1 and D2). It is known that the narrow D1 component originates from electron carriers in the electron-pockets and the broad D2 mode is from hole carriers in the hole-pockets. While the plasma frequencies of both Drude components and the static scattering rate of the broad D2 component show negligible temperature dependencies, the static scattering rate of the D1 mode shows strong temperature dependence for the both samples. We observed a hidden quasi-linear temperature dependence in the scattering rate of the D1 mode above and below the magnetic transition temperature while in the optimally doped sample the scattering rate shows a more quadratic temperature dependence. The hidden non-Fermi liquid behavior in the underdoped sample seems to be related to the magnetic phase of the material.

description: Globular clusters (GCs) are excellent tracers of the formation and early evolution of the Milky Way. The bulge GCs (BGCs) are particularly important because they can reveal vital information about the oldest, in-situ component of the Milky Way. We aim at deriving mean metallicities and radial velocities for 13 GCs that lie towards the bulge and are generally associated with this component. We use near infrared low resolution spectroscopy with the FORS2 instrument on the VLT to measure the wavelengths and equivalent widths of the CaII triplet (CaT) lines for a number of stars per cluster. We derive radial velocities, ascertain membership and apply known calibrations to determine metallicities for cluster members, for a mean of 11 members per cluster. We derive mean cluster RV values to 3 km/s, and mean metallicities to 0.05 dex. Our sample has metallicities lying between -0.21 and -1.64 and is distributed between the traditional metal-rich BGC peak near [Fe/H] aprox. -0.5 and a more metal-poor peak around [Fe/H] aprox. -1.1, which has recently been identified. These latter are candidates for the oldest GCs in the Galaxy, if blue horizontal branches are present, and include BH 261, NGC 6401, NGC 6540, NGC 6642, and Terzan 9. Finally, Terzan 10 is even more metal-poor. However, dynamically, Terzan 10 is likely an intruder from the halo, possibly associated with the Gaia-Enceladus or Kraken accretion events. Terzan 10 is also confirmed as an Oosterhotype II GC based on our results. The lone halo intruder in our sample, Terzan 10, is conspicuous for also having by far the lowest metallicity, and casts doubt on the possibility of any bonafide BGCs at metallicities below about aprox. -1.5.

A Systematic Review of the Harms of Lung Cancer Screening with Low Dose Computed Tomography
Creators: name: Schwartz, Cody
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Background: Lung cancer causes the majority of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Screening for lung cancer with low dose CT (LDCT) has become a prominent topic. This modality has the potential to contribute to a decrease in lung cancer associated mortality. Preliminary data from a large randomized controlled trial have shown a 20% decrease in mortality. Currently, no guidelines endorse LDCT screening for lung cancer. The harms of screening for lung cancer have not been fully characterized in a focused systematic review. Purpose: To explore and characterize the harms associated with low dose CT screening for lung cancer in high risk populations by evaluating the current evidence. This information will assist policy makers and clinicians as they weigh the risks and benefits of screening high risk populations for lung cancer. Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, reviews, reference lists, experts Study Selection: Studies were included that evaluated low dose screening for lung cancer. Those that characterized harms were central to this review. Data Extraction: Data were abstracted to abstraction forms. Studies were graded according to methods used by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Data Synthesis: Studies reported variable rates of abnormal results with positivity of 8 to 45%. A range of 4 to 55% of total invasive procedures and none to 40% of surgeries were performed for benign indications. Incidental findings were reported in 0.77 to 62% of participants. Of the included studies, 30% discussed anxiety, 55% discussed overdiagnosis, 50% reported morbidity and mortality of workup, and 35% reported false negative cases. False positives at baseline ranged from 86 to 98%. Limitations: This review included observational studies, randomized trials, and systematic reviews of observational studies and short randomized trials. Data from completed large scale randomized trials is currently unavailable. No data from unpublished literature or studies unavailable in English were included so this review has a potential for publication and language bias. Conclusions: The harms of low dose CT screening for lung cancer are poorly reported in screening trials. Even though harms are incompletely characterized in the included studies, these harms are likely clinically significant. Clinicians must weigh the risks and benefits of the screening procedure if they are to implement mass screening for lung cancer with LDCT.

description: In the framework of the low-energy effective field theory of the Standard Model extended with heavy neutral leptons (HNLs), we calculate the production rates of HNLs from meson decays triggered by dimension-six operators. We consider both lepton-number-conserving and lepton-number-violating four-fermion operators involving either a pair of HNLs or a single HNL. Assuming that HNLs are long-lived, we perform simulations and investigate the reach of the proposed far detectors at the high-luminosity LHC to (i) active-heavy neutrino mixing and (ii) the Wilson coefficients associated with the effective operators, for HNL masses below the mass of the $B$-meson. We further convert the latter to the associated new-physics scales. Our results show that scales in excess of hundreds of TeV and the active-heavy mixing squared as small as $10^{-15}$ can be probed by these experiments.

Dependence of the saturation level of magnetorotational instability on gas pressure and magnetic Prandtl number

description: A large set of numerical simulations of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence induced by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is presented. Revisiting the previous survey conducted by Sano et al. (2004), we investigate the gas pressure dependence of the saturation level. In ideal MHD simulations, the gas pressure dependence is found to be very sensitive to the choice of a numerical scheme. This is because the numerical magnetic Prandtl number varies according to the scheme as well as the pressure, which considerably affects the results. The saturation level is more sensitive to the numerical magnetic Prandtl number than the pressure. In MHD simulations with explicit viscosity and resistivity, the saturation level increases with the physical magnetic Prandtl number, and it is almost independent of the gas pressure when the magnetic Prandtl number is constant. This is indicative of the incompressible turbulence saturated by the secondary tearing instability.

description: Imaging the human brain vasculature with high spatial and temporal resolution remains challenging in the clinic today. Transcranial ultrasound is scarcely used for cerebrovascular imaging, due to low sensitivity and strong phase aberrations induced by the skull bone that only enable major brain vessel imaging, even with ultrasound contrast agent injection (microbubbles). Here, we propose an adaptive aberration correction technique for skull bone aberrations based on the backscattered signals coming from intravenously injected microbubbles. Our aberration correction technique was implemented to image brain vasculature in adult humans through temporal and occipital bone windows. For each patient, an effective speed of sound, as well as a phase aberration profile, were determined in several isoplanatic patches spread across the image. This information was then used in the beamforming process. It improved image quality both for ultrafast Doppler imaging and Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM), especially in cases of thick bone windows. For ultrafast Doppler images, the contrast was increased by 4dB on average, and for ULM, the number of detected microbubble tracks was increased by 38%. This technique is thus promising for better diagnosis and follow-up of brain pathologies such as aneurysms or stroke and could make transcranial ultrasound imaging possible even in particularly difficult-to-image patients.
Mass loss in open clusters

description: Most stars are thought to be born in groups which later dissolve into the field population of their host galaxy. This dissolution and integration into the field population has long been a topic of interest. For example, Lamers et al (2005) explored this process using the open cluster (OC) age distribution derived from the Kharchenko et al. (2005) OC catalogue. With the advent of the Gaia mission, we have an exceptional opportunity to revisit and enhance these studies using high-quality data. Given the absence of large scale, high-quality mass determinations for OCs, we have determined the luminous masses for 1724 OCs using the Dias et al. (2021) catalogue of cluster parameters and stellar memberships. In the process, we have also determined the cluster radii through King profile fits. We discuss the effect of the radii uncertainties on the derived masses. We have implemented a model for the build-up and mass evolution of a population of OCs, following Lamers et al. (2005). By comparing our simulations with the observational data, we reproduced the disruption timescale and mass dependency parameters previously obtained in the literature. However, while there is a reasonable agreement for the age distribution, the simulated mass distribution does not match the observations for any combination of the parameters. We note that in the previous studies only age distributions had been considered. Not mass distributions. We found, however that the mass distribution of young clusters does not follow the typically assumed power-law for the Cluster Initial Mass Function (CIMF); instead, it exhibits a log-normal behaviour. This motivated modifying accordingly the CIMF used in the model, which significantly improved the agreement between simulations and the observed mass distribution. These findings suggest that the mass distribution for non-embedded clusters, at the moment they emerge from their parent molecular clouds, may differ from the commonly adopted power-law CIMF, which is derived from embedded clusters. Moreover, our results also suggest a previously unexplored mass dependence associated with the disruption arising from cluster emergence from molecular clouds. These new insights pave the way for further investigations, offering valuable perspectives on the formation and evolution of stellar systems within the context of the Gaia mission.

description: In this thesis, I examine the omnipresent digital museum object, seeking to understand what it is, what it does, and what it could be. I explore the lack of consensus surrounding the definition of the digital museum object, offering a new conceptualisation of an object that exists and is valuable in its own right. In isolating the generative potential of the digital museum object, I suggest that it offers inclusive and polyvocal opportunities to museums. By placing the digital museum object in a complex relational network of interactions, analysed through nuanced application of actor-network theory (ANT), I expose the asymmetrical power structures embedded between museum and audience in the postdigital landscape. Finally, this research places digital museum objects and networks within a dynamic, evolving transnational and transcultural digital ecology. This ecology is rooted in the colonial practices of physical environments, replicated in the digital sphere. Thus, I trouble general claims that the digital landscape has democratised access, stating that instead, many of the issues encountered in physical museum spaces are replicated (or even heightened) in the postdigital environment. The creation of inclusive polyvocal digital museum objects is one positive step in an effort that seeks to counter exclusive structures and to create digital spaces that are more welcoming to all. Moreover, based on my analysis, I suggest practical steps that might be taken in beginning a journey towards creating digital museum objects that speak with, and for many, people.

AdS/BCFT from Conformal Bootstrap: Construction of Gravity with Branes and Particles

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We initiate a conformal bootstrap program to study AdS3/BCFT2 with heavy excitations. We start by solving the bootstrap equations associated with two-point functions of scalar/non-scalar primaries under the assumption that one-point functions vanish. These correspond to gravity with a brane and a non-spinning/spinning particle where the brane and the particle do not intersect with each other. From the bootstrap equations, we obtain the energy spectrum and the modified black hole threshold. We then carefully analyze the gravity duals and find the results perfectly match the BCFT analysis. In particular, brane self-intersections, which are usually considered to be problematic, are nicely avoided by the black hole formation. Despite the assumption to solve the bootstrap equations, one-point functions of scalar primaries can be non-zero in general. We construct the holographic dual for a non-vanishing one-point function, in which the heavy particle can end on the brane, by holographically computing the Renyi entropy in AdS/BCFT. As a bonus, we find a refined formula for the holographic Renyi entropy, which appears to be crucial to correctly reproduce the boundary entropy term. On the other hand, we explain why one-point functions of non-scalar primaries always vanish from the gravity dual. The independence of the bootstrap equations to the boundary entropy helps us to construct gravity duals with negative tension branes. We also find a holographic dual of boundary primaries.

International Collaborative Research with Developing Countries: A Colombian Model for Decreasing Infant Mortality
Creators: name: Rojas, Mario A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Current collaborative efforts in international research with developing countries are frequently paternalistic and deprive developing countries of the autonomy necessary to build independent research capacity. Developing countries have become progressively suspicious of the underlying intentions of corporate sponsored research as well as the motives behind research endeavors originated in developed countries that have minimal impact on the health care needs of their populations. The current trend towards globalization requires that certain standards be established to guide these collaborative efforts in order to create strong partnerships that promote global health in less developed countries. The objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive approach to health related international collaborative research with developing countries using as an example a model that has been developed in Colombia, S.A. that changes the prevailing paradigm of collaboration and promotes infant health.

description: This paper presents an ontology-based approach for the design of a collaborative business process model (CBP). This CBP is considered as a specification of needs in order to build a collaboration information system (CIS) for a network of organisations. The study is a part of a model driven engineering approach of the CIS in a specific enterprise interoperability framework that will be summarised. An adaptation of the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is used to represent the CBP model. We develop a knowledge-based system (KbS) which is composed of three main parts: knowledge gathering, knowledge representation and reasoning, and collaborative business process modelling. The first part starts from a high abstraction level where knowledge from business partners is captured. A collaboration ontology is defined in order to provide a structure to store and use the knowledge captured. In parallel, we try to reuse generic existing knowledge about business processes from the MIT Process Handbook repository. This results in a collaboration process ontology that is also described. A set of rules is defined in order to extract knowledge about fragments of the CBP model from the two previous ontologies. These fragments are finally assembled in the third part of the KbS. A prototype of the KbS has been developed in order to implement and support this approach. The prototype is a computer-aided design tool of the CBP. In this paper, we will present the theoretical aspects of each part of this KbS as well as the tools that we developed and used in order to support its functionalities.

description: We consider networks made of parallel lanes along which particles hop according to driven diffusive dynamics. The particles also hop transversely from lane to lane, hence indirectly coupling their longitudinal dynamics. We present a general method for constructing the phase diagram of these systems which reveals that in many cases their physics reduce to that of single-lane systems. The reduction to an effective single-lane description legitimizes, for instance, the use of a single TASEP to model the hopping of molecular motors along the many tracks of a single microtubule. Then, we show how, in quasi-2D settings, new phenomena emerge due to the presence of non-zero transverse currents, leading, for instance, to strong `shear localisation' along the network.
Peak Asthma Control Tool (PACT): An Asthma Self-Management Mobile Application Program Plan and Evaluation

description: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that impacts millions of people around the world (Bhuia, Nwaru, Weir, & Sheikh, 2017). Evidence has demonstrated that following guideline recommendations lead to well-controlled asthma symptoms (GINA, 2017). Despite the advances in disease management, asthma continues to be associated with poor disease control and high rates of medication non-adherence (Fuhlbrigge et al., 2009; Jones et al., 2003).  A potential solution to this problem is a comprehensive self-management mobile application and program. A literature review was conducted to identify existing mobile health applications that target asthma control and medication adherence in adult patients. Next, the paper proposes an education and management program for adult patients who have uncontrolled asthma through the use of a mobile health application. The paper will discuss the elements of the program, the program’s theoretical basis, the goals and objectives, and the implementation plan. Finally, the paper will outline a program evaluation plan, which will be used to ensure the program is meetings its objectives and to determine the impact of the interventions made throughout the program.

description: Annealing of amorphous optical coatings has been shown to generally reduce optical absorption, optical scattering, and mechanical loss, with higher temperature annealing giving better results. The achievable maximum temperatures are limited to the levels at which coating damage, such as crystallization, cracking, or bubbling will occur. Coating damage caused by heating is typically only observed statically, after annealing. An experimental method to dynamically observe how and over what temperature range such damage occurs during annealing is desirable as its results could inform manufacturing and annealing processes to ultimately achieve better coating performance. We developed a new instrument that features an industrial annealing oven with holes cut into its sides for viewports to illuminate optical samples and observe their coating scatter and eventual damage mechanisms in-situ and in real-time during annealing. We present results that demonstrate in-situ observation of changes to titania-doped tantala coatings on fused silica substrates. We obtain a spatial image (mapping) of the evolution of these changes during annealing, an advantage over x-ray diffraction, electron beam, or Raman methods. We infer, based on other experiments in the literature, these changes to be due to crystallization. We further discuss the utility of this apparatus for observing other forms of coating damage such as cracking and blisters.

description: In 2D systems with a spin-orbit interaction, magnetic focussing can be used to create a spatial separation of particles with different spin. Here we measure hole magnetic focussing for two different magnitudes of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. We find that when the Rashba spin-orbit magnitude is large there is significant attenuation of one of the focussing peaks, which is conventionally associated with a change in the spin polarisation. We instead show that in hole systems with a $k^3$ spin-orbit interaction, this peak suppression is due to a change in the scattering of one spin state, not a change in spin polarisation. We also show that the change in scattering length extracted from magnetic focussing is consistent with results obtained from measurements of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. This result suggests that scattering must be considered when relating focussing peak amplitude to spin polarisation in hole systems
Increasing knowledge and uptake of telepsychiatry among North Carolina patients and providers: An example using social marketing as a communication mode

description: This paper describes the barriers and benefits regarding telepsychiatry uptake among patients and providers in North Carolina, and presents a proposal for expansion using a social marketing approach. Thanks to advances in technological innovation, telepsychiatry has become a viable option for mental health patients seeking treatment in locations where psychiatric services are limited, especially in rural areas. In addition to improving patient outcomes by offering a more consistent, and therefore reliable, form of treatment, telepsychiatry has demonstrated significant cost savings in terms of reduced emergency department and inpatient psychiatric care admissions. However, despite its overall benefits, telepsychiatry expansion remains stagnant, primarily due to misconceptions among patient and provider populations. A review of the literature demonstrates telepsychiatry's effectiveness and suggests ways of reducing its barriers; however, it does not reveal any specific attempts at promoting expansion using a social marketing approach. Because social marketing campaigns have been effective in public health, and because telepsychiatry has shown promise among patient and provider populations, a social marketing campaign might be an effective, and relatively inexpensive way of promoting this service, particularly among those in rural locations. This paper reviews examples of social marketing successes in public health and outlines a plan for how it can be used in promoting telepsychiatry, and particularly why it would be effective in North Carolina, where uptake has lagged. In addition, the paper also explores generalizability of these ideas beyond North Carolina.
