Minimal normal measurement models of quantum instruments
Creators: name: Pellonpää, Juha-Pekka

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: In this work, we study the minimal normal measurement models of quantum instruments. We show that usually the apparatus' Hilbert space in such a model is unitarily isomorphic to the minimal Stinespring dilation space of the instrument.However, if the Hilbert space of the system is infinite dimensional and the multiplicities of the outcomes of the associated observable (POVM) are all infinite then this may not be the case. In these pathological cases, the minimal apparatus' Hilbert space is shown to be unitarily isomorphic to the instrument's minimal dilation space augmented by one extra dimension. We also point out errors in earlier papers of one of the authors (J-P.P.).
Maternal Mortality in Developing Countries:  The Role of the Mexico City Policy
Creators: name: Brancazio, Sophia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: The Mexico City Policy prohibits United States aid to foreign non-governmental organizations from spending any of their funds on abortion services, education, or referral.  The United States has repeatedly enacted and repealed this policy along partisan lines, perhaps at times without regard for its possible health and economic effects.  I examined the role of the Mexico City Policy on the Maternal Mortality Ratio, a marker of maternal health that, in 2000, the World Health Organization pledged to reduce.  This study suggests that the Mexico City Policy may play a role in affecting the maternal mortality ratio differently across developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe.  This study serves as a preliminary analysis for exploration of this policy on maternal mortality.

Implementation of the North Carolina Child Care Health Consultant (CCHC) System Logic Model
Creators: name: Reardon, Jeannie M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This paper examines the benefits and barriers for implementing a logic model with a specific focus on the logic model for a system of child care health consultants (CCHCs) in North Carolina developed by the NC Child Care Health Collaborative in late 2007. These stakeholders thoroughly investigated the current network of CCHCs and determined that the groundwork has been laid and North Carolina has the capacity to build a sustainable system of CCHCs in the public health infrastructure. The logic model provides a strategic plan for strengthening the system of CCHCs in North Carolina, which will result in the establishment of linkages among child care providers, child care health consultants, child care licensing consultants, children's primary health care providers, and other important entities for the purpose of improving children's health and safety in early care and education environments. Logic models have gained widespread acceptance and use by public health professionals as a program planning and evaluation tool. They provide a simple construct or roadmap of the relationship between program goals, activities, and expected outcomes. They help identify outcomes anticipated by the program or system, indicators of success, and evaluation instruments and methods to measure success toward intended outcomes. Through a review of the literature on logic models, I plan to clarify the process of implementation, looking at benefits of system-wide program planning and outcomes and the barriers that may impede successful implementation in North Carolina. This will lay the foundation for offering recommendations for successful implementation of the NC System of CCHCs Logic Model. I will use two major research strategies to gather results: (1) a review ofthe literature on logic model development and implementation and (2) interviews with members of the NC Child Care Health Collaborative and other key stakeholders.

Evidence for a chemical enrichment coupling of globular clusters and field stars in the Fornax dSph

description: The globular cluster H4, located in the center of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, is crucial for understanding the formation and chemical evolution of star clusters in low-mass galactic environments. H4 is peculiar because the cluster is significantly more metal-rich than the galaxy's other clusters, is located near the galaxy center, and may also be the youngest cluster in the galaxy. In this study, we present detailed chemical abundances derived from high-resolution (R~28000) spectroscopy of an isolated H4 member star for comparison with a sample of 22 nearby Fornax field stars. We find the H4 member to be depleted in the alpha-elements Si, Ca, and Ti with [Si/Fe]=-0.35+-0.34, [Ca/Fe]=+0.05+-0.08, and [Ti/Fe]=-0.27+-0.23, resulting in an average [alpha/Fe]=-0.19+-0.14. If this result is representative of the average cluster properties, H4 is the only known system with a low [alpha/Fe] ratio and a moderately low metallicity embedded in an intact birth environment. For the field stars we find a clear sequence, seen as an early depletion in [alpha/Fe] at low metallicities, in good agreement with previous measurements. H4 falls on top of the observed field star [alpha/Fe] sequence and clearly disagrees with the properties of Milky Way halo stars. We therefore conclude that within a galaxy, the chemical enrichment of globular clusters may be closely linked to the enrichment pattern of the field star population. The low [alpha/Fe] ratios of H4 and similar metallicity field stars in Fornax give evidence that slow chemical enrichment environments, such as dwarf galaxies, may be the original hosts of alpha-depleted clusters in the halos of the Milky Way and M31.

Trends of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections in the Department of Defense
Creators: name: Huebner, Kermit
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Background: Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) have risen sharply over the last decade as a result of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). Evaluations of national databases have shown an increase in healthcare visits due to CA-MRSA, but do not include federal healthcare facilities, including the military. This study evaluates the trends in SSTI likely related to CA-MRSA across the Department of Defense from 1999-2008. Methods: A dataset was constructed using the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database using ICD-9 codes for carbuncle/furuncle during the time of interest. Data was then stratified to specific service components, Army personnel category, and Army military occupational specialty category. Results: There was a 6.3 fold increase in SSTI from 1999-2003. The largest proportion of infections occurred in the Army. Of the 10,950 infections in the Army in 2008, 94% occurred in enlisted personnel. Military occupational specialties with the highest rates of infection included crafts workers and electronic / mechanical repairers. Limitations: This study is limited due to use of secondary data and lack of culture data to clearly determine the presence of CA-MRSA. Conclusions: SSTI in the Department of Defense has increased in a similar fashion to national civilian reports. Further evaluation of populations with highest rates of infection is warranted to assist with determination of risk factors and effective eradication strategies.

description: Ground states are a well-known class of Hadamard states in smooth spacetimes. In this paper, we show that the ground state of the Klein–Gordon field in a non-smooth ultrastatic spacetime is an adiabatic state. The order of the state depends linearly on the regularity of the metric. We obtain the result by combining a propagation of singularities result for non-smooth pseudodifferential operators, properties of the causal propagator, and eigenvalue asymptotics for elliptic operators of low regularity.

description: We have measured temperature dependencies of the electric resistance $R$ and upper critical magnetic field $H_{c2}$ of a magnetic superconductor Dy$_{0.6}$Y$_{0.4}$Rh$_{3.85}$Ru$_{0.15}$B$_4$. The measurements were made for different angles $φ$ of magnetic field inclination to the direction of measuring current and revealed strong anisotropy of the behavior of $R(T)$ and the values of $H_{c2}(T)$. By using the Werthamer-Gelfand-Hohenberg theory, we determined the Maki parameter $α$ and the parameter of the spin-orbital interaction. For $φ= 0^\circ$ and $90^\circ$ both parameters are close to zero, thus the magnitude of $H_{c2}(0) \approx 38$ kOe is basically limited by the orbital effect. At $φ= 45^\circ$, a large value of the parameter $α= 4.2$ indicates dominating role of the spin-paramagnetic effect in the suppression of $H_{c2}(0)$ down to $8.8$ kOe. We suggest that such behavior of $R(T)$ and $H_{c2}(T)$ is caused by internal magnetism of the Dy atoms which may strongly depend on the magnetic field orientation.

description: Very often, when studying topological or dynamical properties of random scale-free networks, it is tacitly assumed that degree-degree correlations are not present. However, simple constraints, such as the absence of multiple edges and self-loops, can give rise to intrinsic correlations in these structures. In the same way that Fermionic correlations in thermodynamic systems are relevant only in the limit of low temperature, the intrinsic correlations in scale-free networks are relevant only when the extreme values for the degrees grow faster than the square-root of the network size. In this situation, these correlations can significantly affect the dependence of the average degree of the nearest neighbors of a given vertice on this vertices's degree. Here, we introduce an analytical approach that is capable to predict the functional form of this property. Moreover, our results indicate that random scale-free networks models are not self-averaging, that is, the second moment of their degree distribution may vary orders of magnitude among different realizations. Finally, we argue that the intrinsic correlations investigated here may have profound impact on the critical properties of random scale-free networks.

Drug Testing in the Transportation Industry to Determine Impairment
Creators: name: Dowd, Shelia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) drug and alcohol program is to protect the safety of employees, co-workers, and the traveling public. However, drug testing for transportation employees does not determine impairment for over-the-counter and prescribed medications. A covered employee under the influence of over-the-counter and prescription medications poses the same threat to safety as one who is under the influence of illicit drugs; therefore, measures should be taken to deter any impairing substance – regardless of whether or not the substance is legally obtained. Some over-the-counter and prescription medications have the potential to cause impairment; however, it is difficult to determine the dosage levels at which one will become impaired. Urine collection is the means of collection and is susceptible to subversion attempts. More research is needed to determine the method of collection and the dose at which one becomes impaired. The Occupational and Environmental Health Nurse (OHN) is uniquely qualified to manage drug and alcohol programs due to experience in clinical nurse training and comprehensive workplace knowledge. The OHN recognizes the physical and psychological symptoms of drug impairment and can assist with employee assistance program referrals as needed.

Large-eddy simulation of a 15 GW wind farm: Flow effects, energy budgets and comparison with wake models

description: Planned offshore wind farm clusters have a rated capacity of more than 10 GW. The layout optimization and yield estimation of wind farms is often performed with computationally inexpensive, analytical wake models. As recent research results show, the flow physics in large (multi-gigawatt) offshore wind farms are more complex than in small (sub-gigawatt) wind farms. Since analytical wake models are tuned with data of existing, sub-gigawatt wind farms they might not produce accurate results for large wind farm clusters. In this study the results of a large-eddy simulation of a 15 GW wind farm are compared with two analytical wake models to demonstrate potential discrepancies. The TurbOPark model and the Niayifar and Porté-Agel model are chosen because they use a Gaussian wake profile and a turbulence model. The wind farm has a finite size in the crosswise direction, unlike as in many other large-eddy simulation wind farm studies, in which the wind farm is effectively infinitely wide due to the cyclic boundary conditions. The results show that new effects like crosswise divergence and convergence occur in such a finite-size multi-gigawatt wind farm. The comparison with the wake models shows that there are large discrepancies of up to 40% between the predicted wind farm power output of the wake models and the large-eddy simulation. An energy budget analysis is made to explain the discrepancies. It shows that the wake models neglect relevant kinetic energy sources and sinks like the geostrophic forcing, the energy input by pressure gradients and energy dissipation. Taking some of these sources and sinks into account could improve the accuracy of the wake models.

Access, Quality, Cost: Optimizing Care for Undocumented Immigrants with End-Stage Kidney Disease Through Intelligent Health Policy
Creators: name: Sanoff, Scott L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a lethal condition requiring ongoing treatment in order to prevent one of several potential life-threatening complications. Federal policy mandates hospitals provide emergent treatment to undocumented immigrants suffering one of these complications (such as hemodialysis) and provides partial funding for this treatment through Emergency Medicaid. It does not however, provide explicit funding for the ongoing, scheduled treatments necessary to prevent these lethal complications. Indirect epidemiologic evidence suggests undocumented immigrants present a significant ESKD burden to the U.S. health care system, and limited patient level data suggests that the absence of funding for routine treatment has led to the delivery of substandard care at increased cost. Given the lethality of ESKD, and both the availability and significant cost of effective treatment, timely investigation is required to identify health care policy that will optimize treatment of ESKD in the undocumented immigrant population. Meanwhile, immediate intervention is needed to improve access to, as well as the quality and cost of treatment currently received by members of this population. Such intervention could include nationwide expansion of Emergency Medicaid to all undocumented immigrants with ESKD.

We show numerically that conformal invariance and signatures of critical percolation appear in the stationary KPZ state. In terms of the two-component Coulomb gas description of the Edwards-Wilkinson stationary state, our finding is understood as the invariance of one component under the effect of the non-linear KPZ term. On the other hand, we show a breaking of conformal invariance when the level lines of the other component are considered.

An Integrated Approach to Community Care: Stay Up and Active in Orange County
Creators: name: Lindgren, Spencer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Introduction: Falls amongst persons over 60 present a significant risk for serious injury or decline in health status. After a first fall, persons generally suffer from repeat falls without intervention at some level. Citizens of Orange County, North Carolina experience the same negative outcomes from falls as the rest of the global population, including physical injury, emotional trauma, and economic difficulties. These falls place significant burdens on Emergency Medical Services (EMS), local hospitals, and the adults themselves. Recognizing a need exists to provide interventions to minimize risk, Orange County EMS, the Orange County Department on Aging (OCDoA), and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) partnered to create the Stay Up and Active Program (SUAA). Hypothesis/Problem: This program attempts to connect Orange County citizens at risk of falls through Orange County EMS services by screening any patient qualifying for inclusion in SUAA. By partnering with OCDoA, this program is able connect and monitor participants to ensure changing needs are addressed. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative techniques were used to pilot test the user interface between partnering organizations. Results: In the first seven months of the program, 478 positive screenings for falls risk were collected. Only 16.7% of these screenings were from patients who resided in assisted living facilities. There were 55 individuals that received a positive screening more than one time and the maximum number of positive screenings by one individual was fourteen. More positive screenings came from women (61.3%) than men (38.7%) and the most positive screenings came from individuals 88 years of age (6.9%). Conclusion: There are numerous barriers present when attempting to implement a community falls prevention program. This program has identified several challenges to connect older adults with services that are already available to keep them independent in the home. The barriers identified within Orange County have provided insight to all stakeholders regarding the factors that inhibit the program's success. Falls pose a significant risk to citizens in Orange County and program evaluation should continue to provide suggestions for improvement and ensure sustainability.

description: We study knots in 3d Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group $SL(N,\mathbb{C})$, in the context of its relation with 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory (the so-called 3d-3d correspondence). The defect has either co-dimension 2 or co-dimension 4 inside the 6d $(2,0)$ theory, which is compactified on a 3-manifold $\hat{M}$. We identify such defects in various corners of the 3d-3d correspondence, namely in 3d $SL(N,\mathbb{C})$ Chern-Simons theory, in 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ theory, in 5d $\mathcal{N}=2$ super Yang-Mills theory, and in the M-theory holographic dual. We can make quantitative checks of the 3d-3d correspondence by computing partition functions at each of these theories. This Letter is a companion to a longer paper, which contains more details and more results.

description: We study the joint action of the non-Poisson renewal events (NPR) yielding Continuous Time Random Walk (CTRW) with index alpha < 1 and two different generators of Hurst coefficient H not equal to 0.5, one generating fractional Brownian motion (FBM) and another scaled Brownian motion (SBM). We discuss the ergodicity breaking emerging from these joint actions and we find that in both cases the adoption of time averages leads to localization. In the case of the joint action of NPR and SBM, localization occurs when SBM would produce sub-diffusion. The joint action of NPR and FBM, on the contrary, may lead to localization when FBM would be a source of super-diffusion. We argue that the second effect might require a refinement of the theoretical perspective about determinism and randomness.

description: The (111) surface of SnTe hosts one isotropic $\barΓ$-centered and three degenerate anisotropic $\bar{M}$- centered Dirac surface states. We predict that a nematic phase with spontaneously broken $C_3$ symmetry will occur in the presence of an external magnetic field when the $N=0$ $\bar{M}$ Landau levels are $1/3$ or $2/3$ filled. The nematic state phase boundary is controlled by a competition between intravalley Coulomb interactions that favor a valley-polarized state, and weaker intervalley scattering processes that increase in relative strength with magnetic field. An in-plane Zeeman field alters the phase diagram by lifting the three-fold $\bar{M}$ Landau level degeneracy, yielding a ground state energy with $2π/3$ periodicity as a function of Zeeman-field orientation angle.

description: Covalent organic framework (COF) membranes have emerged as a promising candidate for energy-efficient separations, but the angstrom-precision control of the channel size in the subnanometer region remains a challenge that has so far restricted their potential for gas separation. Herein, we report an ultramicropore-in-nanopore concept of engineering matreshka-like pore-channels inside a COF membrane. In this concept, α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) is in situ encapsulated during the interfacial polymerization which presumably results in a linear assembly (LA) of α-CDs in the 1D nanochannels of COF. The LA-α-CD-in-TpPa-1 membrane shows a high H2 permeance (∼3000 GPU) together with an enhanced selectivity (>30) of H2 over CO2 and CH4 due to the formation of fast and selective H2-transport pathways. The overall performance for H2/CO2 and H2/CH4 separation transcends the Robeson upper bounds and ranks among the most powerful H2-selective membranes. The versatility of this strategy is demonstrated by synthesizing different types of LA-α-CD-in-COF membranes.

description: "Protective measurement" refers to two related schemes for finding the expectation value of an observable without disturbing the state of a quantum system, given a single copy of the system that is subject to a "protecting" operation. There have been several claims that these schemes support interpreting the quantum state as an objective property of a single quantum system. Here we provide three counter-arguments, each of which we present in two versions tailored to the two different schemes. Our first argument shows that the same resources used in protective measurement can be used to reconstruct the quantum state in a different way via process tomography. Our second argument is based on exact analyses of special cases of protective measurement, and our final argument is to construct explicit "$ψ$-epistemic" toy models for protective measurement, which strongly suggest that protective measurement does not imply the reality of the quantum state. The common theme of the three arguments is that almost all of the information comes from the "protection" operation rather than the quantum state of the system, and hence the schemes have no implications for the reality of the quantum state.

Traditional Birth Attendant Education in Fondwa, Haiti Program and Evaluation Plan

description: Haiti has the highest maternal mortality ratio in the Western Hemisphere, estimated at 300 deaths per 100,000 live births, with a lifetime risk of maternal death at 1/93. Approximately 53% of Haiti’s 9.65 million people live in rural areas, and fewer than 40% of rural Haitians have access to basic health services. With little public transport and many roads in poor condition, an estimated 76% of mainly rural Haitian women deliver at home attended by a traditional birth attendant (TBA) or midwife. A Cochrane review supports the potential of TBA training to reduce peri- and neonatal and possibly maternal deaths in the context of rural homebirths, when combined with improved health services. In Haiti, available evidence suggests the most effective strategy at this time lies in training TBAs, who are the ready health force. Trained TBAs could likely help reduce perinatal and maternal mortality, and as resources become available the TBAs could partner with skilled birth attendants and extended healthcare facilities to further reduce maternal mortality. Family Health Ministries (FHM) conducted focus groups in the area of Leogane and Fondwa, Haiti and discovered that reducing infant and maternal mortality was a high priority of women living in the commune. In response to this need, FHM developed a safe motherhood program to increase healthcare access, which will include building an obstetric hospital in Leogane, and educating TBAs in safer birth outcomes. The curriculum of this educational program focuses on teaching these basic topics: 1) cleanliness, hand washing, and glove use; 2) pre-eclampsia, measuring blood pressure, measuring protein in the urine; 3) fetal heart rate; 4) fetal position, breech birth, and shoulder dystocia; 5) neonatal resuscitation; 6) post partum hemorrhage; 7) umbilical cord care; 8) newborn/infant assessment; 9)post partum infection; 10) maternal tetanus vaccination; 11) birth registry data. The 14 TBAs registered for the course will complete a 4-week training program, complete with pre-and post-tests to determine the improvement in knowledge and skill level throughout the course. Also baseline data on maternal and neonatal mortality in the community of Fondwa will be collected by conducting DHS surveys of randomly selected households. The houses of the surveyed women and the trained TBAs will be mapped using GPS technology, to be able to compare outcomes in a clustered design. The course and data collection will be complete by July, 2011, and analysis will be conducted at this time.

description: This compendium presents specific good practices from H2020 MAPs in the key project management cycle steps, from the very beginning of project development to the very end of increasing outreach and exploitation. In the first section of this compendium, further explanation and good practices related to the implementation of the MA approach are also provided. This compendium is not intended to be a comprehensive project management guide, but merely a compilation of good practices based on the experience of the EUREKA consortium to help you develop and manage your MAP. More comprehensive guides have been developed to support practitioners taking part in MAPs, for example have a look at the LIAISON 'How to guides'.

description: To date, the establishment of high-titer stable viral packaging cells (VPCs) at large scale for gene therapeutic applications is very time- and cost-intensive. Here we report the establishment of three human suspension 293-F-derived ecotropic MLV-based VPCs. The classic stable transfection of an EGFP-expressing transfer vector resulted in a polyclonal VPC pool that facilitated cultivation in shake flasks of 100 mL volumes and yielded high functional titers of more than 1 × 106 transducing units/mL (TU/mL). When the transfer vector was flanked by transposon terminal inverted repeats (TIRs) and upon co-transfection of a plasmid encoding for the transposase, productivities could be slightly elevated to more than 3 × 106 TU/mL. In contrast and using mRNA encoding for the transposase, as a proof of concept, productivities were drastically improved by more than ten-fold exceeding 5 × 107 TU/mL. In addition, these VPC pools were generated within only 3 weeks. The production volume was successfully scaled up to 500 mL employing a stirred-tank bioreactor (STR). We anticipate that the stable transposition of transfer vectors employing transposase transcripts will be of utility for the future establishment of high-yield VPCs producing pseudotype vector particles with a broader host tropism on a large scale.
Measuring the Impact of Breakthrough Clinical Data and Related Publicity on Physician Practice Patterns in the United States

Year: 2006

description: Physicians are constantly being exposed to new evidence that may effect how they practice medicine. While they read medical journals that contain peer-reviewed publications and attend scientific meetings at which results are presented, quite often they learn of new medical developments through the general consumer media. This paper summarizes the results of two case studies evaluating the impact of new clinical data and related media events on physician prescribing behavior within two different therapeutic classes: antipsychotics, used to treat psychosis, and female contraceptives. The analysis included a time-series analysis of total prescriptions (TRx) and market share(% of TRx) in the timeframe pre- and post- publication of landmark clinical data and surrounding media events. Results from these case studies suggest that the communication of landmark clinical data had a significant influence on physician prescribing behavior within both therapeutic classes. Although more rigorous statistical analysis would be required to definitively prove a correlation, in both case studies- antipsychotics and contraceptives physicians appear to be more influenced by media communication of new data than by the publication of the CATIE study results (antipsychotics) and the FDA's advisory on updated labeling for the contraceptive patch Ortho Evra (contraceptives), respectively.
