description: We investigate theoretically the spin purity of single holes confined in vertically coupled GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) under longitudinal magnetic fields. A unique behavior is observed for triangular QDs, by which the spin is largely pure when the hole is in one of the dots, but it becomes strongly mixed when an electric field is used to drive it into molecular resonance. The spin admixture is due to the valence band spin-orbit interaction, which is greatly enhanced in C3h symmetry environments. The strong yet reversible electrical control of hole spin suggests that molecules with C3-symmetry QDs, like those obtained with [111] growth, can outperform the usual C2-symmetry QDs obtained with [001] growth for the development of scalable qubit architectures.

Progesterone Function in Human Endometrium: Clinical Perspectives
Creators: name: Lessey, Bruce A.
name: Young, Steven L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Progesterone is essential for endometrial receptivity and successful establishment of pregnancy. Either an insufficient progesterone concentration or an insufficient response to progesterone, therefore can lead to infertility and pregnancy loss. Assessment of the role that either progesterone insufficiency or inadequate progesterone response plays in human reproductive failure has been difficult to assess because serum progesterone concentrations fluctuate markedly, limiting the ability to characterize sufficiency of progesterone, and there are no highly reliable markers of endometrial function available. Recent evidence demonstrates exquisite sensitivity of normal endometrium to very low levels of progesterone stimulation, suggesting that progesterone insufficiency should not be a common cause of reproductive failure. Further evidence suggests that women with endometriosis, and possibly polycystic ovarian syndrome, have an altered progesterone response, which may explain some of the clinical features of these disorders and supports the hypothesis that progesterone resistance underlies some cases of human reproductive failure.

Accelerating Ovarian Age: Cancer Treatment in the Premenopausal Woman

description: The reproductive sequelae of cancer treatments may provide an important model of accelerated ovarian aging. Tens of thousands of women treated for cancer each year experience infertility and early menopause as a result of treatment. A spectrum of reproductive compromise commonly ranges from immediate menopause at the time of cancer treatment to the less proximate outcome of early menopause in the years to decades after treatment. A woman's reproductive lifespan can be shortened after chemotherapy or radiation because such treatments likely decrease the number of viable eggs after treatment. This acceleration in the decline of the number of follicles leads to increased rates of not only infertility and miscarriage but also early menopause, which represents the most extreme form of accelerated ovarian aging. The degree of reproductive impairment is dependent on chronologic age and the diagnosis or treatment. The variation in outcomes that persist may be partially explained by pretreatment ovarian reserve. Establishing the use of clinical predictors such as ovarian reserve markers to effectively anticipate such outcomes is an obvious and important keystone in the foundation of cancer survivorship research. An improved understanding of cancer treatment's ability to accelerate follicle death, decrease fecundability, and initiate an earlier menopause could provide a clinically relevant, time-shortened, and reproducible snapshot into the basic biology of ovarian aging.
Nonlinear Convective Instability of Turing‐Unstable Fronts near Onset: A Case Study
Creators: name: Ghazaryan, Anna
name: Sandstede, Björn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Fronts are travelling waves in spatially extended systems that connect two different spatially homogeneous rest states. If the rest state behind the front undergoes a supercritical Turing instability, then the front will also destabilize. On the linear level, however, the front will be only convectively unstable since perturbations will be pushed away from the front as it propagates. In other words, perturbations may grow but they can do so only behind the front. The goal of this paper is to prove for a specific model system that this behaviour carries over to the full nonlinear system.
Causal Network Inference by Optimal Causation Entropy

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The broad abundance of time series data, which is in sharp contrast to limited knowledge of the underlying network dynamic processes that produce such observations, calls for a rigorous and efficient method of causal network inference. Here we develop mathematical theory of causation entropy, an information-theoretic statistic designed for model-free causality inference. For stationary Markov processes, we prove that for a given node in the network, its causal parents forms the minimal set of nodes that maximizes causation entropy, a result we refer to as the optimal causation entropy principle. Furthermore, this principle guides us to develop computational and data efficient algorithms for causal network inference based on a two-step discovery and removal algorithm for time series data for a network-couple dynamical system. Validation in terms of analytical and numerical results for Gaussian processes on large random networks highlight that inference by our algorithm outperforms previous leading methods including conditioned Granger causality and transfer entropy. Interestingly, our numerical results suggest that the number of samples required for accurate inference depends strongly on network characteristics such as the density of links and information diffusion rate and not necessarily on the number of nodes.

description: The vast coastline provides Canada with a flourishing seafood industry including bivalve shellfish production. To sustain a healthy bivalve molluscan shellfish production, the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program was established to monitor the health of shellfish harvesting habitats, and fecal coliform bacteria data have been collected at nearly 15,000 marine sample sites across six coastal provinces in Canada since 1979. We applied Functional Principal Component Analysis and subsequent correlation analyses to find annual variation patterns of bacteria levels at sites in each province. The overall magnitude and the seasonality of fecal contamination were modelled by functional principal component one and two, respectively. The amplitude was related to human and warm-blooded animal activities; the seasonality was strongly correlated with river discharge driven by precipitation and snow melt in British Columbia, but such correlation in provinces along the Atlantic coast could not be properly evaluated due to lack of data during winter.

Partial Differential Equations, 6 (2013), pp. 723--750], we numerically and analytically investigate the dynamics of the dissipative Zakharov system on the torus in one dimension. We find an interesting family of stable periodic orbits and fixed points and explore bifurcations of those points as we take weaker and weaker dissipation.

Stochastic Flowpath Analysis of Multiphase Flow in Random Porous Media

name: Kolovos, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: Multiphase flow in random porous media is studied by means of a stochastic flowpath approach, which is built upon concepts of differential geometry. This approach replaces the partial differential equations of flow by a set of ordinary differential equations along the flowpaths. Geometrical characterization of multiphase flow involves space transformations. The stochastic flowpath approach accounts for heterogeneity and allows for random initial or boundary conditions. It does not require perturbative approximations, and it does not involve Green's functions. The differential geometric formulation involves tracking the flowpath trajectories of the different phases within the flow domain. We discuss the solution of the two-phase flow equation within a random permeability medium by numerical simulation.

description: A model for autonomous feedback control of particle transport through a large number of channels is introduced. Interactions among the particles can lead to a strong suppression of fluctuations in the particle number statistics. Within a mean-field type limit, the collective control mechanism becomes equivalent to a synchronization with an external clock. The diffusive spreading of the feedback signal across the channels shows scaling, can be quantified via the flow of information, and shows up, e.g., in the spectral function of the particle noise.

Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer Fibers

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: Super-strength, lightweight materials used in bullet-proof vests, high-performance cables and tires, and stealth airplanes are built from liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) fibers. The remarkable strength properties are dominated by molecular alignment achieved as a result of the complex interactions at play in fiber processes. The fiber manufacturing process begins with a high temperature liquid phase of rigid rod macromolecules, whose orientation couples to the strong elongational free surface flow. The flow exits at a prescribed radius and velocity ($v_0$), tapers and cools as it evolves downstream, and solidifies along some free boundary, below which a take-up velocity ($v_1 > v_0$) is imposed at a fixed location. Our goal in this paper is a model for this process which realistically couples the hydrodynamics, the LCP dynamics, and the temperature field, along with the free surface and boundary conditions. Moreover, we aim for a model, by necessity complex, that provides nontrivial fiber process predict...

description: Current nanostructure fabrication by etching is usually limited to planar structures as they are defined by a planar mask. The realisation of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures by etching requires technologies beyond planar masks. We present a method to fabricate a 3D mask that allows to etch three-dimensional monolithic nanostructures by using only CMOS-compatible processes. The mask is written in a hard-mask layer that is deposited on two adjacent inclined surfaces of a Si wafer. By projecting in single step two different 2D patterns within one 3D mask on the two inclined surfaces, the mutual alignment between the patterns is ensured. Thereby after the mask pattern is defined, the etching of deep pores in two oblique directions yields a three-dimensional structure in Si. As a proof of concept we demonstrate 3D mask fabrication for three-dimensional diamond-like photonic band gap crystals in silicon. The fabricated crystals reveal a broad stop gap in optical reflectivity measurements. We propose how 3D nanostructures with five different Bravais lattices can be realised, namely cubic, tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, and hexagonal, and demonstrate a mask for a 3D hexagonal crystal. We also demonstrate the mask for a diamond-structure crystal with a 3D array of cavities. In general, the 2D patterns for the different surfaces can be completely independent and still be in perfect mutual alignment. Indeed, we observe an alignment accuracy of better than 3.0 nm between the 2D mask patterns on the inclined surfaces, which permits one to etch well-defined monolithic 3D nanostructures.

A Model for a Spreading and Melting Droplet on a Heated Substrate

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: We develop a model to describe the dynamics of a spreading and melting droplet on a heated substrate. The model, developed in the capillary-dominated limit, is geometrical in nature and couples the contact line, trijunction, and phase-change dynamics. The competition between spreading and melting is characterized by a single parameter KT that represents the ratio of the characteristic contact line velocity to the characteristic melting (or phase-change) velocity. A key component of the model is an equation of motion for the solid. This equation of motion, which accounts for global effects through a balance of forces over the entire solid-liquid interface, including capillary effects at the trijunction, acts in a natural way as the trijunction condition. This is in contrast to models of trijunction dynamics during solidification, where it is common to specify a trijunction condition based on local physics alone. The trijunction dynamics, as well as the contact angle, contact line position, and other dynamic quantities for the spreading and melting droplet, are predicted by the model and are compared to an isothermally spreading liquid droplet whose dynamics are controlled exclusively by the contact line. We find that in general the differences between the dynamics of a spreading and melting droplet and that of an isothermally spreading droplet increase as KT increases. We observe that the presence of the solid phase in the spreading and melting configuration tends to inhibit spreading relative to an isothermally spreading droplet of the same initial geometry. Finally, we find that increasing the effect of spreading promotes melting.

description: Intermediate-scale (or 'meso-scale') structures in networks have received considerable attention, as the algorithmic detection of such structures makes it possible to discover network features that are not apparent either at the local scale of nodes and edges or at the global scale of summary statistics. Numerous types of meso-scale structures can occur in networks, but investigations of meso-scale network features have focused predominantly on the identification and study of community structure. In this paper, we develop a new method to investigate the meso-scale feature known as coreperiphery structure, which consists of an identification of a network's nodes into a densely connected core and a sparsely connected periphery. In contrast to traditional network communities, the nodes in a core are also reasonably well-connected to those in the periphery. Our new method of computing core-periphery structure can identify multiple cores in a network and takes different possible cores into account, thereby enabling a detailed description of core-periphery structure. We illustrate the differences between our method and existing methods for identifying which nodes belong to a core, and we use it to classify the most important nodes using examples of friendship, collaboration, transportation, and voting networks.

description: This paper presents a novel 2-3-3 LSB insertion method. The image steganography takes the advantage of human eye limitation. It uses color image as cover media for embedding secret message.The important quality of a steganographic system is to be less distortive while increasing the size of the secret message. In this paper a method is proposed to embed a color secret image into a color cover image. A 2-3-3 LSB insertion method has been used for image steganography. Experimental results show an improvement in the Mean squared error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) values of the proposed technique over the base technique of hash based 3-3-2 LSB insertion.

description: This paper studies pseudo-triangulations for a given point set in the plane. Pseudo-triangulations have many properties of triangulations, and have more freedom since polygons with more than three vertices are allowed as long as they have exactly three inner angles less than $\pi$. In particular, there is a natural flip operation on every internal edge. We present an algorithm to enumerate the pseudo-triangulations of a given point set, based on the greedy flip algorithm of Pocchiola and Vegter [Topologically sweeping visibility complexes via pseudo-triangulations; \emph{Discrete Comput.\ Geom.}\ 16:419 453, 1996]. Our two independent implementations agree, and allow us to experimentally verify or disprove conjectures on the numbers of pseudo-triangulations and triangulations of a given point set. (For example, we establish that the number of triangulations is bounded by than the number of pseudo-triangulations for all sets of up to 10 points.)

description: We report the derivation and implementation of orbital optimization algorithms for the active space decomposition (ASD) model, which are extensions of complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) and its occupation-restricted variants in the conventional multiconfiguration electronic-structure theory. Orbital rotations between active subspaces are included in the optimization, which allows us to unambiguously partition the active space into subspaces, enabling application of ASD to electron and exciton dynamics in covalently linked chromophores. One- and two-particle reduced density matrices, which are required for evaluation of orbital gradient and approximate Hessian elements, are computed from the intermediate tensors in the ASD energy evaluation. Numerical results on 4-(2-naphthylmethyl)-benzaldehyde and [3$_6$]cyclophane and model Hamiltonian analyses of triplet energy transfer processes in the Closs systems are presented. Furthermore model Hamiltonians for hole and electron transfer processes in anti-[2.2](1,4)pentacenophane are studied using an occupation-restricted variant.

description: The Kepler space mission provided near-continuous and high-precision photometry of about 207,000 stars, which can be used for asteroseismology. However, for successful seismic modelling it is equally important to have accurate stellar physical parameters. Therefore, supplementary ground-based data are needed. We report the results of the analysis of high-resolution spectroscopic data of A- and F-type stars from the Kepler field, which were obtained with the HERMES spectrograph on the Mercator telescope. We determined spectral types, atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances for a sample of 117 stars. Hydrogen Balmer, Fe I, and Fe II lines were used to derive effective temperatures, surface gravities, and microturbulent velocities. We determined chemical abundances and projected rotational velocities using a spectrum synthesis technique. The atmospheric parameters obtained were compared with those from the Kepler Input Catalogue (KIC), confirming that the KIC effective temperatures are underestimated for A stars. Effective temperatures calculated by spectral energy distribution fitting are in good agreement with those determined from the spectral line analysis. The analysed sample comprises stars with approximately solar chemical abundances, as well as chemically peculiar stars of the Am, Ap, and Lambda Boo types. The distribution of the projected rotational velocity, Vsini, is typical for A and F stars and ranges from 8 to about 280 km/s, with a mean of 134 km/s.

description: We initiate the study of a Chern-Simons action associated to the semi-direct sum of the Virasoro algebra with its coadjoint representation. This model extends the standard Chern-Simons formulation of three dimensional flat gravity and is similar to the higher-spin extension of three dimensional anti-de Sitter or flat gravity. The extension can also be constructed for the exotic but not for the cosmological constant deformation of flat gravity.

Approximation and Limit Results for Nonlinear Filters Over an Infinite Time Interval: Part II, Random Sampling Algorithms
Creators: name: Kushner, Harold J.
name: Budhiraja, Amarjit
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: The paper is concerned with approximations to nonlinear filtering problems that are of interest over a very long time interval. Since the optimal filter can rarely be constructed, one needs to compute with numerically feasible approximations. The signal model can be a jump-diffusion, reflected or not. The observations can be taken either in discrete or continuous time. The cost of interest is the pathwise error per unit time over a long time interval. In a previous paper of the authors [2], it was shown, under quite reasonable conditions on the approximating filter and on the signal and noise processes that (as time, bandwidth, process and filter approximation, etc.) go to their limit in any way at all, the limit of the pathwise average costs per unit time is just what one would get if the approximating processes were replaced by their ideal values and the optimal filter were used. When suitable approximating filters cannot be readily constructed due to excessive computational requirem...

description: In this paper we first prove, under quite general conditions, that the nonlinear filter and the pair (signal, filter) are Feller-Markov processes. The state space of the signal is allowed to be nonlocally compact and the observation function h can be unbounded. Our proofs, in contrast to those of Kunita [J. Multivariate Anal., 1 (1971), pp. 365-393; Spatial Stochastic Processes, Birkhauser, 1991, pp. 233-256] and Stettner [Stochastic Differential Equations, Springer-Verlag, 1989, pp. 279-292], do not depend upon the uniqueness of the solutions to the filtering equations. We then obtain conditions for existence and uniqueness of invariant measures for the nonlinear filter and the pair process. These results extend those of Kunita and Stettner, which hold for locally compact state space and bounded h, to our general framework. Finally we show that the recent results of Ocone and Pardoux [SIAM J. Control Optim., 34 (1996), pp. 226-243] on asymptotic stability of the nonlinear filter, which use the Kunita-Stettner setup, hold for the general situation considered in this paper.
Convergent Numerical Scheme for Singular Stochastic Control with State Constraints in a Portfolio Selection Problem

description: We consider a singular stochastic control problem with state constraints that arises in problems of optimal consumption and investment under transaction costs. Numerical approximations for the value function using the Markov chain approximation method of Kushner and Dupuis are studied. The main result of the paper shows that the value function of the Markov decision problem (MDP) corresponding to the approximating controlled Markov chain converges to that of the original stochastic control problem as various parameters in the approximation approach suitable limits. All our convergence arguments are probabilistic; the main assumption that we make is that the value function be finite and continuous. In particular, uniqueness of the solutions of the associated HJB equations is neither needed nor available (in the generality under which the problem is considered). Specific features of the problem that make the convergence analysis nontrivial include unboundedness of the state and control space and the cost function; degeneracies in the dynamics; mixed boundary (Dirichlet-Neumann) conditions; and presence of both singular and absolutely continuous controls in the dynamics. Finally, schemes for computing the value function and optimal control policies for the MDP are presented and illustrated with a numerical study.

Ergodic Rate Control Problem for Single Class Queueing Networks

description: We consider critically loaded single class queueing networks with infinite buffers in which arrival and service rates are state (i.e., queue length) dependent and may be dynamically controlled. An optimal rate control problem for such networks with an ergodic cost criterion is studied. It is shown that the value function (i.e., optimum value of the cost) of the rate control problem for the network converges, under a suitable heavy traffic scaling limit, to that of an ergodic control problem for certain controlled reflected diffusions. Furthermore, we show that near optimal controls for limit diffusion models can be used to construct asymptotically near optimal rate control policies for the underlying physical queueing networks. The expected cost per unit time criterion studied here is given in terms of an unbounded holding cost and a linear control cost (cost for effort). Time asymptotics of a related uncontrolled model are studied as well. We establish convergence of invariant measures of scaled queue length processes to that of the limit reflecting diffusions. Our proofs rely on infinite time horizon stability estimates that are uniform in control and the heavy traffic parameter, for the scaled queue length processes. Another key ingredient, and a result of independent interest, in the proof of convergence of value functions is the existence of continuous near optimal feedback controls for the diffusion control model.
