description: Hotspot mutations in the PEST-domain of NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 are recurrently identified in B cell malignancies. To address how NOTCH-mutations contribute to a dismal prognosis, we have generated isogenic primary human tumor cells from patients with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), differing only in their expression of the intracellular domain (ICD) of NOTCH1 or NOTCH2. Our data demonstrate that both NOTCH-paralogs facilitate immune-escape of malignant B cells by up-regulating PD-L1, partly dependent on autocrine interferon-γ signaling. In addition, NOTCH-activation causes silencing of the entire HLA-class II locus via epigenetic regulation of the transcriptional co-activator CIITA. Notably, while NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 govern similar transcriptional programs, disease-specific differences in their expression levels can favor paralog-specific selection. Importantly, NOTCH-ICD also strongly down-regulates the expression of CD19, possibly limiting the effectiveness of immune-therapies. These NOTCH-mediated immune escape mechanisms are associated with the expansion of exhausted CD8+ T cells in vivo.

description: Motivated by the colossal negative thermal expansion recently found in BiNiO$_3$, the valence transition accompanied by the charge transfer between the Bi and Ni sites is theoretically studied. We introduce an effective model for Bi-$6s$ and Ni-$3d$ orbitals with taking into account the valence skipping of Bi cations, and investigate the ground-state and finite-temperature phase diagrams within the mean-field approximation. We find that the valence transition is caused by commensurate locking of the electron filling in each orbital associated with charge and magnetic orderings, and the critical temperature and the nature of the transitions are strongly affected by the relative energy between the Bi and Ni levels and the effective electron-electron interaction in the Bi sites. The obtained phase diagram well explains the temperature- and pressure-driven valence transitions in BiNiO$_3$ and the systematic variation of valence states for a series of Bi and Pb perovskite oxides.

The Perinatal Community Health Worker Training Facilitator's Guide
Creators: name: Acevedo, Glamarys
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Mamatoto Village is a community-based organization in Washington, DC that specializes in training perinatal community health workers who provide perinatal and birth support to women in the community. The agency is focused on providing culturally relevant care to women of color in the DC metro area. The majority of the women who are served by the organization are referred through two Medicaid managed care organizations. Research highlights that women who have birth supporters, such as doulas, have improved birth outcomes in comparison to those who receive regular care. To address the maternal and child health disparities in DC, Mamatoto Village uses the perinatal community health worker model. By combining perinatal home visiting and birth support services Mamatoto Village offers collaborative, culturally relevant, wrap-around services during the perinatal period to women in the community. They agency also is building capacity with the community by providing a workforce development program through the perinatal community health worker training program. Mamatoto Village was the field placement site for a dual degree Masters of Public Health/ Social Work student. Over the summer, the student created powerpoints for their training, program survey forms, and developed a facilitator's guide. The facilitator's guide is being presented as the final master's project.

description: Aging normal human oesophagus accumulates TP53 mutant clones. These are the origin of most oesophageal squamous carcinomas, in which biallelic TP53 disruption is almost universal. However, how p53 mutant clones expand and contribute to cancer development is unclear. Here we show that inducing the p53R245W mutant in single oesophageal progenitor cells in transgenic mice confers a proliferative advantage and clonal expansion but does not disrupt normal epithelial structure. Loss of the remaining p53 allele in mutant cells results in genomically unstable p53R245W/null epithelium with giant polyaneuploid cells and copy number altered clones. In carcinogenesis, p53 mutation does not initiate tumour formation, but tumours developing from areas with p53 mutation and LOH are larger and show extensive chromosomal instability compared to lesions arising in wild type epithelium. We conclude that p53 has distinct functions at different stages of carcinogenesis and that LOH within p53 mutant clones in normal epithelium is a critical step in malignant transformation.

description: Mixing angles are used to describe the $SU(6)\otimes O(3)$ symmetry breaking in $\left[70,~1^-\right]$ multiplet in the sector of the lowest mass nucleon resonances, which are investigated extensively in constituent quark models for baryon spectroscopy. The transition amplitudes for the meson photoproduction off nucleon can also be expressed in terms of the mixing angles to take into account the configuration mixing. Those amplitudes are derived as a function of the mixing angles between $|N^2P_M{J}^-\rangle$ and $|N^4P_M{J}^-\rangle$ states, with $J$=1/2 and 3/2, for the processes $γp \to ηp,~K^+ Λ,~K^+ Σ^\circ,~K^\circ Σ^+$. The present status of our knowledge on the mixing angles between $S_{11}(1535)$ and $S_{11}(1650)$ ($θ_{S}$), as well as between $D_{13}(1520)$ and $D_{13} (1700)$ ($θ_{D}$) is reported. Since these resonances play very important role in the threshold region for both $η$ and kaon production mechanisms, they are expected to provide crucial tests of different quark models for the baryon spectroscopy.
title: High-fat diets and cognition: effects and mechanisms
titleType: Other
Creators: name: Ramage, Fiona
Publisher: name: University of Dundee
Year: 2023

description: Western diets high in fats and sugars have been gaining in popularity over the last few decades. Concerningly, their consumption is associated with the development of metabolic and cognitive dysfunction, as well as an increased risk of dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical and preclinical research has aimed to determine how these diets cause cognitive impairment, but disease mechanisms are not yet fully understood.

In the first part of this thesis, I aimed to replicate a previous study showing rapid cognitive deficits with brief exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD). I contrast the HFD to a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (KD). Initial results showed a rapid effect of 1-5 days exposure to a HFD on body weight and adiposity, as well as deficits in hippocampal-dependent object recognition tasks absent in KD or control groups. However, rescoring behaviour videos while blinded suggested no diet-induced cognitive impairment and overall poor task performance. This finding was concerning, due to the poor reporting of blinding in neuroscience literature.

In subsequent sections, I present a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of HFDs on cognition in rodents as well as a study of potential underlying mechanisms. This review was designed to summarise a vast field with often conflicting results, to better understand the impact of study design heterogeneity on HFD effects, as well as appraising study quality and risk of bias and their impact for the first time in nutritional neuroscience literature. In addition to capturing a huge amount of heterogeneity in study design and animal and diet models used, I contrast the impact of these variables on cognition with current views in the field. I also present evidence of issues such as pseudoreplication and publication bias. Finally, I present data on the impact of interventions/treatments on HFD-induced cognitive deficits, and the effects of HFDs on peripheral metabolism and hippocampal neuropathology, in a preliminary exploration of mechanisms of HFD-induced cognitive changes.

description: Vaccines are among the most cost-effective public health interventions for preventing infection-induced morbidity and mortality, yet much remains to be learned regarding the mechanisms by which vaccines protect. Systems immunology combines traditional immunology with modern 'omic profiling techniques and computational modeling to promote rapid and transformative advances in vaccinology and vaccine discovery. The NIH/NIAID Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC) has leveraged systems immunology approaches to identify molecular signatures associated with the immunogenicity of many vaccines. However, comparative analyses have been limited by the distributed nature of some data, potential batch effects across studies, and the absence of multiple relevant studies from non-HIPC groups in ImmPort. To support comparative analyses across different vaccines, we have created the Immune Signatures Data Resource, a compendium of standardized systems vaccinology datasets. This data resource is available through ImmuneSpace, along with code to reproduce the processing and batch normalization starting from the underlying study data in ImmPort and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). The current release comprises 1405 participants from 53 cohorts profiling the response to 24 different vaccines. This novel systems vaccinology data release represents a valuable resource for comparative and meta-analyses that will accelerate our understanding of mechanisms underlying vaccine responses.

description: We consider the recent relativistic bit commitment protocol introduced by Lunghi et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2015] and present a new security analysis against classical attacks. In particular, while the initial complexity of the protocol scaled double-exponentially with the commitment time, our analysis shows that the correct dependence is only linear. This has dramatic implications in terms of implementation: in particular, the commitment time can easily be made arbitrarily long, by only requiring both parties to communicate classically and perform efficient classical computation.
description: In an independent and concurrent work, Fehr and Fillinger [FF15] proved a general composition theorem for two-prover commitments which implies a similar bound on the security of the Lunghi et al. protocol than the one derived here

description: The aim of this study was to investigate coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) biosynthesis pathway defects in inherited retinal dystrophy. Individuals affected by inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) underwent exome or genome sequencing for molecular diagnosis of their condition. Following negative IRD gene panel analysis, patients carrying biallelic variants in CoQ10 biosynthesis pathway genes were identified. Clinical data were collected from the medical records. Haplotypes harbouring the same missense variant were characterised from family genome sequencing (GS) data and direct Sanger sequencing. Candidate splice variants were characterised using Oxford Nanopore Technologies single molecule sequencing. The CoQ10 status of the human plasma was determined in some of the study patients. 13 individuals from 12 unrelated families harboured candidate pathogenic genotypes in the genes: PDSS1, COQ2, COQ4 and COQ5. The PDSS1 variant c.589 A > G was identified in three affected individuals from three unrelated families on a possible ancestral haplotype. Three variants (PDSS1 c.468-25 A > G, PDSS1 c.722-2 A > G, COQ5 c.682-7 T > G) were shown to lead to cryptic splicing. 6 affected individuals were diagnosed with non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa and 7 had additional clinical findings. This study provides evidence of CoQ10 biosynthesis pathway gene defects leading to non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa in some cases. Intronic variants outside of the canonical splice-sites represent an important cause of disease. RT-PCR nanopore sequencing is effective in characterising these splice defects.

description: An electro-mechanical setup for the measurement of AC-forces in a low-temperature tunnelling microscope has been developed, which enables extremely high force resolution. The crosstalk of vibrations onto the tunnelling current is used to measure the deflection of a force-sensing cantilever beam. We demonstrate its capability to measure the noise of the force at a tunnelling contact using polycrystalline Iridium. Depending on temperature, spring constant and current, a resolution in the range of $\rm {fN}/\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ is possible. We observe peak levels of the force-noise at the energy of the expected phonon maximal density of states, which suggests that inelastic transport processes contribute to force fluctuations.

description: Formation of low-resistance metal contacts is the biggest challenge that masks the intrinsic exceptional electronic properties of 2D WSe2 devices. We present the first comparative study of the interfacial properties between ML/BL WSe2 and Sc, Al, Ag, Au, Pd, and Pt contacts by using ab initio energy band calculations with inclusion of the spin-orbital coupling (SOC) effects and quantum transport simulations. The interlayer coupling tends to reduce both the electron and hole Schottky barrier heights (SBHs) and alters the polarity for WSe2-Au contact, while the SOC chiefly reduces the hole SBH. In the absence of the SOC, Pd contact has the smallest hole SBH with a value no less than 0.22 eV. Dramatically, Pt contact surpasses Pd contact and becomes p-type Ohmic or quasi-Ohmic contact with inclusion of the SOC. Our study provides a theoretical foundation for the selection of favorable metal electrodes in ML/BL WSe2 devices.

Effects of an Enabling Environment on Quality of Care for Family Planning Providers in Kenya
Creators: name: Bryant-Comstock, Katelyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Background: Uptake and continuance of family planning methods depend on personal, social, financial, and cultural considerations. There are often barriers to women accessing family planning methods. One way that has been shown to increase uptake of family planning methods is improved quality of care by family planning providers. (1) Part of ensuring providers can provide care to the best of their ability is making sure their working environment is supportive and enabling for all aspects of care. Objective: What aspects of an enabling environment lead to better quality of care among family planning providers in Kenya? Methods: The study used a national probability sample from the 2010 Kenya Service Provision Assessment Survey. Quality of care and enabling environment indices were created, and regression models were run to assess which factors of the enabling environment contributed most to quality of care. Results: Increases in both types of performance support and availability of family planning materials produced increases in the quality of care given by a provider. Conclusion: Providers should be encouraged to use family planning materials when counseling patients on family planning methods. Performance standards and position regulations should be in place for providers to ensure patients receive the best quality of care possible.

description: This paper is devoted to study the analytic models of anisotropic compact stars in $f(T)$ gravity (where $T$ is torsion scalar), with non-diagonal tetrad. By taking the anisotropic source inside the spherically symmetric star, the equations of motions have been derived in the context of $f(T)$ gravity. Krori and Barua metric which satisfies the physical requirement of a realistic star, has been applied to describe the compact objects like strange stars. We use the power law form of $f(T)$ model to determine explicit relations of matter variables. Further, we have found the anisotropic behavior, energy conditions, stability and surface redshift of stars. Using the masses and radii of 4$U$1820-30, Her X-1, SAX J 1808-3658, we have determined the constants involved in metric components. Finally we discuss the graphical behavior of the analytic description of strange star candiddates.

description: The jaggedness of an order ideal I in a poset P is the number of maximal elements in I plus the number of minimal elements of P not in I. A probability distribution on the set of order ideals of P is toggle-symmetric if for every p in P, the probability that p is maximal in I equals the probability that p is minimal not in I. In this paper, we prove a formula for the expected jaggedness of an order ideal of P under any toggle-symmetric probability distribution when P is the poset of boxes in a skew Young diagram. Our result extends the main combinatorial theorem of Chan-López-Pflueger-Teixidor, who used an expected jaggedness computation as a key ingredient to prove an algebro-geometric formula; and it has applications to homomesies, in the sense of Propp-Roby, of the antichain cardinality statistic for order ideals in partially ordered sets.

Solid mechanics

description: Self-organized dislocation structures in deforming metals have a strong influence on the mechanical response of metals. However, accurate prediction of these patterns remains a challenge due to the complex dynamic and multiscale nature of the underlying process. This dissertation focuses on the development of a theoretical framework for continuum dislocation dynamics (CDD) models to predict dislocation microstructure formation at small strains, along with corresponding numerical simulation results. CDD models have the capability to incorporate plasticity physics spanning different time and length scales while capturing the dislocation motion explicitly within reasonable computational time. A typical model consists of two components: crystal mechanics, formulated as an eigenstrain problem, and dislocation dynamics, treated as a transport-reaction problem. In the first part of the thesis, a novel framework is introduced to solve the dislocation transport by decoupling the system of transport-reaction equations and enforcing the dislocation continuity constraint on individual slip systems. The results obtained from this framework demonstrate high accuracy and computational efficiency, significantly enhancing the predictive capabilities of the model. Building upon the framework, a statistical analysis of stress fluctuations in discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations is conducted to understand the relationship between coarse-grained average stress and local stress states. This analysis is motivated by the need to accurately capture dislocation reactions, such as cross-slip, which strongly depend on the local stress state, using the coarse-grained approach in CDD. The results revealed that the difference between the local and the coarse-grained states can be characterized using a Cauchy distribution. Consequently, a novel strategy is proposed to incorporate these statistical characteristics into the CDD model, yielding cross-slip rate predictions that align well with DDD results. In the final part of the study, the developed framework is applied to investigate the dislocation pattern formation during the early stages of cyclic loading. The simulation results successfully capture the formation of dislocation vein like structure and provide insights regarding the formation of labyrinth structure observed in experiments during cyclic loading at saturated state.

North Carolina's Maternal and Child Health Trends, Contributing Factors, and the Demonstrated Benefit of Public Investments
Creators: name: Khachaturyan, Susanna

Year: 2018

description: The North Carolina Division of Public Health reported that, in 2016, African American infants died at more than 2.5 times the rate of white infants, a ratio that has worsened from ten years ago. This and others disparities are indicative of poor maternal and infant health outcomes that affect many North Carolinians and reflect the many systems and policies that impose barriers to health and prosperity. Many of the factors that influence maternal and child health are beyond the influence of individual mothers and their families. Public policies can address disparities, improve quality of life for North Carolina’s communities, and ultimately improve outcomes. However, they require a commitment to providing equitable opportunities and public investments that support those strategies. Targeted efforts to remove barriers that lead to racial and ethnic health disparities and economic injustice are necessary, particularly due to the persistent and growing disparities across many measures of health and wellbeing in the state. This paper provides an analysis of the factors that drive maternal and child health outcomes, as well as family economic conditions, and describes their connections to public policies. Examining disparities and the many systems that influence them can inform policies that improve health and economic and social wellbeing. Through smart investment of public dollars into strategies that are known to work, all North Carolinians can lead healthy and prosperous lives.

description: Quaternion-valued wireless communication systems have been studied in the past. Although progress has been made in this promising area, a crucial missing link is lack of effective and efficient quaternion-valued signal processing algorithms for channel equalization and beamforming. With most recent developments in quaternion-valued signal processing, in this work, we fill the gap to solve the problem by studying two quaternion-valued adaptive algorithms: one is the reference signal based quaternion-valued least mean square (QLMS) algorithm and the other one is the quaternion-valued constant modulus algorithm (QCMA). The quaternion-valued Wiener solution for possible block-based calculation is also derived. Simulation results are provided to show the working of the system.

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: Frailty is an increasing global health challenge with significant public health implications as the world's elderly population grows. However, to date, we do not know exactly what risk factors are associated with frailty in the community. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the existing risk factors associated with the frailty in community-dwelling elderly and to understand whether these factors can be intervened. This scoping review was based on the Joanna Briggs Institute's suggested measures.

description: Liquid scintillator (LS) will be adopted as the detector material in JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory). The energy resolution requirement of JUNO is 3%, which has never previously been reached. To achieve this energy resolution, the light yield of liquid scintillator is an important factor. PPO (the fluor) and bis-MSB (the wavelength shifter) are the two main materials dissolved in LAB. To study the influence of these two materials on the transmission of scintillation photons in LS, 25 and 12 cm-long quartz vessels were used in a light yield experiment. LS samples with different concentration of PPO and bis-MSB were tested. At these lengths, the light yield growth is not obvious when the concentration of PPO is higher than 4 g/L. The influence from bis-MSB becomes insignificant when its concentration is higher than 8 mg/L. This result could provide some useful suggestions for the JUNO LS.

description: Core optics components for high precision measurements are made of stable materials, having small optical and mechanical dissipation. The natural choice in many cases is glass, in particular fused silica. Glass is a solid amorphous state of material that couldn't become a crystal due to high viscosity. However thermodynamically or externally activated stimulated local processes of spontaneous crystallization (known as devitrification) are still possible. Being random, these processes can produce an additional noise, and influence the performance of such experiments as laser gravitational wave detection.

DOES NEIGHBORHOOD QUALITY AFFECT PRETERM BIRTH STATUS? A SECONDARY ANALYSIS OF THE COMMUNITY CHILD HEALTH RESEARCH NETWORK COHORT
Creators: name: Burks, Erin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Overview: Psychosocial stress is thought to trigger an inflammatory response in the body, leading to increased risk of preterm birth. This analysis investigates neighborhood characteristics of social support and psychosocial stress. Lack of social support for pregnant women is associated with higher levels of stress and depressive symptoms. The data utilized in this analysis is the Community Child Health Research Network (CCHN), a community-linked study of racial minority and low-income participants in five distinct sites around the United States. Methods: Neighborhood characteristics, assessed by in-person interview were: sense of community, collective efficacy, neighborhood safety, and neighborhood drug use. Logistic regression was conducted to calculate odds ratios between the neighborhood characteristics and preterm birth. Results: No significant odds ratios were found between neighborhood characteristics selected from the CCHN and preterm birth. There were some significant differences between sites. When comparing odds of preterm birth between African Americans and Whites, there was significantly increased odds of preterm birth among African Americans, as is consistent with broader literature. Discussion: Reasons for these findings are discussed, as well as recommendations for future research surrounding neighborhood characteristics and preterm birth.

description: Why should great cities suddenly become creative? Why do they have golden ages, belles époques? Why was Florence so remarkable a place in the fifteenth century, or London at the end of the sixteenth, or Paris at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century? Why, in a different way, was Manchester so remarkable at the end of the eighteenth century, or Detroit around 1900, or Silicon Valley today? How exactly do these golden ages come about? Why do so few cities have more than one such golden age? What forces are going to shape the fates of cities in the coming century-and what, if anything, can we as planners do about them?

description: Various models have been developed to predict the calorific value of Biomass but only a few models exist to predict this measure for the urban waste like Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF). In this paper, new models are introduced to predict the calorific value of RDF, as more advanced studies are required to be conducted with a focus on a distinct group of RDFs for validating the robustness of the models in the existing literature. The calorific value based on ultimate (elemental) analysis considers the contents of C, H, N, S, and O elements in RDF. Using empirical and machine learning methods, the newly established models accurately predicted the calorific value of the samples provided by a local municipality situated in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Furthermore, these new models demonstrated a lower bias and average absolute error than the other twelve previously published models pertinent to RDF material. Based on the established workflow the ultimate analysis-based models gave a higher coefficient of determination (R2) value in the range 0.78 − 0.80, indicating that the developed model improves the prediction of calorific value for RDF. The newly developed machine-learning models showed better results than the empirical models developed in this study implying that complex correlations can be dealt effectively while predicting calorific values for RDF.

description: Context. Heating the solar corona to several million degrees requires the conversion of magnetic energy into thermal energy. In this paper, we investigate whether an unstable magnetic thread within a coronal loop can destabilise a neighbouring magnetic thread. Aims. By running a series of simulations, we aim to understand under what conditions the destabilisation of a single magnetic thread can also trigger a release of energy in a nearby thread. Methods. The 3D magnetohydrodynamics code, Lare3d, is used to simulate the temporal evolution of coronal magnetic fields during a kink instability and the subsequent relaxation process. We assume that a coronal magnetic loop consists of non-potential magnetic threads that are initially in an equilibrium state. Results. The non-linear kink instability in one magnetic thread forms a helical current sheet and initiates magnetic reconnection. The current sheet fragments, and magnetic energy is released throughout that thread. We find that, under certain conditions, this event can destabilise a nearby thread, which is a necessary requirement for starting an avalanche of energy release in magnetic threads. Conclusions. It is possible to initiate an energy release in a nearby, non-potential magnetic thread, because the energy released from one unstable magnetic thread can trigger energy release in nearby threads, provided that the nearby structures are close to marginal stability.
