description: Let $r\ge k\ge 2$ be fixed positive integers. Let $\varrho_{r,k}$ denote the characteristic function of the set of $r$-tuples of positive integers with $k$-wise relatively prime components, that is any $k$ of them are relatively prime. We use the convolution method to establish an asymptotic formula for the sum $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_r\le x} \varrho_{r,k}(n_1,\ldots,n_r)$ by elementary arguments. Our result improves the error term obtained by J. Hu (2013).

Ordering Trends at UNC Hospital Inpatient Dining Services Pre-Post Menu Changes
Creators: name: Ghazi-Moghaddam, Nooshin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Objective: Inpatient meal ordering trends for patients and families were assessed in 2017 and 2018 pre and post implementation of new inpatient menus designed with the goal of promoting healthier food selection.Background: A taskforce formed at UNC Hospital in 2016 with the goal of improving the health across the variety of populations within the hospital. The idea of “nudge” approaches was explored as a method of effecting change across these different groups, and the inpatient menu was chosen as a preliminary Taskforce intervention. In March of 2018, the updated menus were released.Methods: Four floors at UNC Hospital were chosen for analysis. Meal ordering data was extracted from July through October 2017 while the legacy menus were in use and the same months in 2018 after the new menus were in full circulation. The data from both years were compared to each other to assess potential changes in food and drink selection.Results: Some minor changes were noted in most sections although very few held statistical significance. The distribution of drink types ordered showed statistical significance when comparing the 2018 observed data to the 2017 expected distribution, but not all deviations were desirable. Other changes such as favorable increases and decreases in food/beverage item orders were noted but were not statistically significant. Key examples include a 27% increase in rotisserie chicken orders from 2017, and a 55% increase in grilled chicken breast plate orders. The grilled chicken sandwich was ordered 7.1 times more than the fried chicken sandwich in 2018 compared to 3.5 times more in 2017. There was a significant increase in mashed potato consumption after being labeled as a “balanced” item, and chocolate chip cookies saw a 43% decrease in ordering after the “heart-healthy” designation was removed.Conclusion: While the significance of the menu changes and its connections to meal ordering are relatively weak compared to the potential effect of more targeted interventions, these results show likelihood that menu changes alone can have some impact on meal ordering trends, but additional initiatives are needed. Utilizing choice architecture to foster a healthier food environment has implications across a variety of settings and populations. The changes noted in this study provide reasonable support for further changes to hospital retail environment as well as similar movements within other institutions.

description: Tensor network states, and in particular projected entangled pair states (PEPS), suggest an innovative approach for the study of lattice gauge theories, both from a pure theoretic point of view, and as a tool for the analysis of the recent proposals for quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories. In this paper we present a framework for describing locally gauge invariant states on lattices using PEPS. The PEPS constructed hereby shall include both bosonic and fermionic states, suitable for all combinations of matter and gauge fields in lattice gauge theories defined by either finite or compact Lie groups.

A Snack by Any Other Name: Understanding and Defining Snacking in America
Creators: name: Levine, Katrina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: It is 10:30 am. You had a granola bar at 7:30 am before leaving for work, but your stomach is already grumbling. You normally have a larger breakfast, but you were in a hurry this morning. Fortunately, you remember you still have your yogurt in the office refrigerator from yesterday, so you'll have that with a handful of berries. How would you describe this situation? Was the yogurt and fruit a continuation of your breakfast, or would you consider it a snack? What if you had the yogurt and fruit as soon as you got to work at 8:00 am? Does this change your classification? There is no obvious consensus answer to these questions because interpretations of the situation will vary from individual to individual. Similarly, researchers have differing ideas about what constitutes a snack or snacking occasion, and these differences are reflected in their research. A wide body of snacking research exists, with topics ranging from the cognitive and behavioral factors that influence snacking to the relationship between snacking and obesity among Americans. However, there are currently no standardized definitions for the terms "snack" and "snacking occasion," which makes it difficult to compare study results. Research is most meaningful when studies can be compared, and the best comparisons are between studies that have as many common features. Consistency ampng snacking research studies is critical to provide the strongest evidence on the relationships between snacking and health outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the need for collaboration and research to determine standardized definitions of "snack" and "snacking occasion" and to bring the issue to the attention of academics, consumer research groups, governing agencies and professional groups that focus on health and nutrition issues, and the food industry.

A remark on a polynomial mapping $F: \C^n \to \C^{n}$
Creators: name: Thuy, Nguyen Thi Bich
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Geometry (math.AG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In \cite{Valette}, Guillaume and Anna Valette associate singular varieties $V_F$ to a polynomial mapping $F: \C^n \to \C^n$. In the case $F: \C^2 \to \C^2$, if the set $K_0(F)$ of critical values of $F$ is empty, then $F$ is not proper if and only if the 2-dimensional homology or intersection homology (with any perversity) of $V_F$ are not trivial. In \cite{ThuyValette}, the results of \cite{Valette} are generalized in the case $F: \C^n \to \C^n$ where $n \geq 3$, with an additional condition. In this paper, we prove that if $F: \C^2 \to \C^2$ is a non-proper {\it generic dominant} polynomial mapping, then the 2-dimensional homology and intersection homology (with any perversity) of $V_F$ are not trivial. We prove that this result is true also for a non-proper {\it generic dominant} polynomial mapping $F: \C^n \to \C^n$ ($\, n \geq 3$), with the same additional condition than in \cite{ThuyValette}. In order to compute the intersection homology of the variety $V_F$, we provide an explicit Thom-Mather stratification of the set $K_0(F) \cup S_F$.

description: Considering non-Gaussian smeared matter distributions, we investigate thermodynamic behaviors of the noncommutative high-dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini anti-de Sitter black hole, and obtain the condition for the existence of extreme black holes. We indicate that the Gaussian smeared matter distribution, which is a special case of non-Gaussian smeared matter distributions, is not applicable for the 6- and higher-dimensional black holes due to the hoop conjecture. In particular, the phase transition is analyzed in detail. Moreover, we point out that the Maxwell equal area law maintains for the noncommutative black hole whose Hawking temperature is within a specific range, but fails for that whose the Hawking temperature is beyond this range.

Nourishing Resilience: Public Health Nutrition Through a Lens of Childhood Adversity
Creators: name: Chang, Jacqueline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Childhood adversity has recently been heralded as a public health crisis, as long-term physical and mental health consequences are well documented. Meanwhile, child and adult obesity remains a public health priority, calling for interventions at individual and systemic levels. "Resilience" is a construct which describes one's ability to positively adapt to and overcome childhood adversity. This paper aims to point out how nutritional status plays a crucial role in supporting the development of resilience, and identify potential opportunities within the field of Public Health Nutrition (PHN) for cross-sector collaboration to address both childhood adversity and nutritional status simultaneously, which may prove more beneficial than if either domain is addressed in isolation.

description: We recently ran a series of studies in which infants looked toward a puppet whom their parent imitated compared to a puppet whom their parent had reacted to, during a trial in which the two puppets were shown both moving their mouths and one voice (using infant-directed speech), said ‘Hi [baby’s name], hi’. Infants did not look toward the imitated puppet in a silent baseline trial or in a trial where infant-friendly music played while the puppets moved in time. Moreover, they did not look more toward an imitated puppet after observing another infant’s caregiver. The procedure in the current study will be very similar to these studies except we are changing the contrast trial. instead of showing infants a silent baseline trial -- we will show them a trial in which the puppets face away from the screen and use a different infant’s name. Our hypothesis is that infants will look more toward the puppet who their parent imitated only when the two puppets are facing the infant and the voice uses the infant’s name. Moreover, infants will not look more toward the imitated puppet in the yoked-control condition when the voice uses the infant’s name

We perform direct numerical simulations on a periodic box of $1024^3$ grid points, where the orientation of the rotation axis is changed (a) at a fixed time instant (b) regularly at time intervals commensurate with the rotation time scale. The former is characterized by a dominant inverse energy cascade whereas in the latter, the inverse cascade is stymied due to the recurrent changes in the rotation axis resulting in a strong forward energy transfer and large scale structures that resemble those of isotropic turbulence.

description: We show that transonic one dimensional flows which are analogous to black holes obey no-hair theorems both at the level of linear perturbations and in non-linear regimes. Considering solutions of the Gross-Pitaevskii (or Korteweg-de Vries) equation, we show that stationary flows which are asymptotically uniform on both sides of the horizon are stable and act as attractors. Using Whitham's modulation theory, we analytically characterize the emitted waves when starting from uniform perturbations. Numerical simulations confirm the validity of this approximation and extend the results to more general perturbations and to the (non-integrable) cubic-quintic Gross-Pitaevskii equation. When considering time reversed flows that correspond to white holes, the asymptotically uniform flows are unstable to sufficiently large perturbations and emit either a macroscopic undulation in the supersonic side, or a non-linear superposition of soliton trains.

Role of the Registered Dietitian in Treatment of Substance Use Disorder
Creators: name: Greenfield, Grace
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: An estimated 19.7 million people aged 12 and older have diagnosed substance use disorder in the United States. Individuals with substance use disorder are at increased risk of malnutrition related to impaired nutrient intake, absorption, and utilization. Despite what is known about the link between substance use and malnutrition, registered dietitians are still underutilized in the treatment of SUD. Available research supports the benefits of nutrition interventions in this setting. Registered dietitians should regularly participate in the treatment of SUDs to provide nutrition education and nutrition counseling to patients seeking treatment, as well as manage the food service within treatment facilities. This paper identifies the most effective approach to nutrition care in this setting as using Health at Every Size and intuitive eating as models for practice, ultimately emphasizing healthy behavior change and removing focus from body weight and shape.

description: Soft supersymmetry-breaking terms provide a wealth of new potential sources of flavour violation, which are tightly constrained by precision experiments. This has posed a challenge to construct flavour models which both explain the structure of the Standard Model Yukawa couplings and also predict soft-breaking patterns that are compatible with these constraints. While such models have been studied in great detail, the impact of flavour violating soft terms on the Higgs mass at the two-loop level has been assumed to be small or negligible. In this letter, we show that large flavour violation in the up-squark sector can give a positive or negative mass shift to the SM-like Higgs of several GeV, without being in conflict with other observations. We investigate in which regions of the parameter space these effects can be expected.

description: Fresh Food Rx gives healthcare providers and their patients a powerful new tool to make healthy food an explicit part of preventive healthcare – as explicit as prescription medications. In our vision, prescriptions for good nutrition should be as ubiquitous and specific as prescriptions for medication to help more patients avoid or delay chronic illness and its complications. This vision also includes affordable places to buy healthy staple foods like fruits and vegetables in every neighborhood in Durham. Fresh Food Rx connects the dots, giving MDs, NPs, RDs, and other clinicians a powerful tool to convey the importance of fruits and vegetables to patients, while also creating systems to make them more affordable in the short term and more readily available over the medium and long term.

description: Oscillons are spatially localized and relatively stable field fluctuations which can form after inflation under suitable conditions. In order to reheat the universe, the fields which dominate the energy density after inflation have to couple to other degrees of freedom and finally produce the matter particles present in the universe today. In this study, we use lattice simulations in 2+1 dimensions to investigate how such couplings can affect the formation and stability of oscillons. We focus on models of hilltop inflation, where we have recently shown that hill crossing oscillons generically form, and consider the coupling to an additional scalar field which, depending on the value of the coupling parameter, can get resonantly enhanced from the inhomogeneous inflaton field. We find that three cases are realized: without a parametric resonance, the additional scalar field has no effects on the oscillons. For a fast and strong parametric resonance of the other scalar field, oscillons are strongly suppressed. For a delayed parametric resonance, on the other hand, the oscillons get imprinted on the other scalar field and their stability is even enhanced compared to the single-field oscillons.

description: An einer vierstufigen Laborversuchsanlage, stehend aus einem Airlift-Schlaufensuspensionsreaktor (ASSR), einem Festbettumlaufreaktor (FBR 1), einem Schlaufenreaktor, der mit ozonhaltigem Sauerstoff begast wurde, (O3R) und einem weiteren Festbettumlaufreaktor (FBR 2), wurden Versuche zum Abbau und zur chemischen Oxidation mit nachfolgendem biologischen Abbau von Inhaltsstoffen aus Prozeßwässern der Altlastensanierung durchgeführt. Die Untersuchungen erfolgten an drei unterschiedlichen Wässern: - einem synthetisch kontaminierten Grundwasser, das durch Emulgieren eines PAK-haltigen Ölkonzentrats vom Sanierungsgelände der ehemaligen Firma Pintsch GmbH hergestellt wurde (Gintsch-Grundwasser), - einem kontaminierten Grundwasser vom Gelände des Gaswerkes Charlottenburg in Berlin (GASAG-Grundwasser) und - einem synthetischen Abwasser mit methylierten und chlorierten Phenolen (Phenol-Abwasser). Das Pintsch-Grundwasser konnte in den beiden ersten Stufen der Laborversuchsanlage zu ca. 90 % des CSB gereinigt werden. Dabei wurden Schadstoffabbaugeschwindigkeiten von 150 mg/lh CSB im ASSR erreicht. Die Schadstoffkonzentration des verbleibenden Restes konnte um weitere 50 % durch eine Ozonierung mit nachfolgendem biologischen Abbau vermindert werden. Die PAK wurden schon in den biologischen Stufen weitgehend eliminiert. Ihre Elimination war hauptsächlich auf biologischen Abbau zurückzuführen. Das GASAG-Grundwasser konnte ebenfalls biologisch bis auf einen Restschadstoffgehalt von 60 mg/l CSB bei einer Verweilzeit von 3 h und einer Zulaufkonzentration von 200 mg/l CSB gereinigt werden. Der Restgehalt konnte durch den Einsatz von Ozon und nachfolgendem biologischen Abbau im FBR 2 auf ca. 25 mg/l CSB reduziert werden. Hierfür waren 5 kWh/m3 an elektrischer Energie sowie 2 l O2/l Grundwasser erforderlich. Ein mit methylierten Phenolen angesetztes Abwasser konnte biologisch gereinigt werden. Bei einer Verweilzeit von 7 h im ASSR wurde ein vollständiger Abbau erzielt. Sprunghafte Erhöhungen der Belastung der Laborversuchsanlage führte zu dramatischen Abnahmen der Abbauleistung im ASSR. 4-Chlorphenol konnte neben methylierten Phenolen vollständig abgebaut werden. Hierfür war bei einer Zulaufkonzentration von 300 mg/l Phenolen (100 mg/l 4-CP) eine Verweilzeit von 9 h im ASSR erforderlich.

description: The HumanTrak captures human movement through markerless motion tracking and can be a crucial tool in military physical screening. Reliability was examined in eighteen healthy participants who completed shoulder and hip ROM, and dynamic tasks in three body armour conditions. Generally, for all conditions, good to excellent reliability was observed in shoulder abduction and flexion, hip abduction and adduction, and dynamic squats knee and hip flexion (ICC ≥ 0.75 excluding outliers). Shoulder adduction and hip flexion demonstrated moderate to excellent reliability (ICC ≥ 0.50). Shoulder and hip extension and the drop jump were unreliable (ICC: 0.10–0.94, 0.15–0.89, and 0.30–0.82, respectively) due to the large distribution of ICC scores. Tasks with ROM values ≥ 100° involving movement towards or perpendicular to the HumanTrak camera tended to have greater reliability than movements moving away from the camera and out of the perpendicular plane regardless if body armour was worn. Practitioner summary: The HumanTrak analyses ROM in a time-efficient manner in a military setting. This study established that shoulder abduction and adduction (no body armour) and shoulder, hip, and knee flexion were the most reliable measurement for all conditions. Further work is required for movements across different planes.

description: We apply QCD-inspired techniques to study nonrelativistic N-component degenerate fermions with attractive interactions. By analyzing the singular-value spectrum of the fermion matrix in the Lagrangian, we derive several exact relations that characterize the spontaneous symmetry breaking U(1)xSU(N)$\to$Sp(N) through bifermion condensates. These are nonrelativistic analogues of the Banks-Casher relation and the Smilga-Stern relation in QCD. Non-local order parameters are also introduced and their spectral representations are derived, from which a nontrivial constraint on the phase diagram is obtained. The effective theory of soft collective excitations is derived and its equivalence to random matrix theory is demonstrated in the epsilon-regime. We numerically confirm the above analytical predictions in Monte Carlo simulations.

Search for excited leptons in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for compositeness of electrons and muons is presented using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. Excited leptons (l*) produced via contact interactions in conjunction with a standard model lepton are considered, and a search is made for their gauge decay modes. The decays considered are l* to l + gamma and l* to l + Z, which give final states of two leptons and a photon or, depending on the Z-boson decay mode, four leptons or two leptons and two jets. The number of events observed in data is consistent with the standard model prediction. Exclusion limits are set on the excited lepton mass, and the compositeness scale Lambda. For the case M(l*) = Lambda the existence of excited electrons (muons) is excluded up to masses of 2.45 (2.47) TeV at 95% confidence level. Neutral current decays of excited leptons are considered for the first time, and limits are extended to include the possibility that the weight factors f and f', which determine the couplings between standard model leptons and excited leptons via gauge mediated interactions, have opposite sign.

description: We report on an ultrastable molecular clock based on the interrogation of the 3ν rotational-vibrational combination band at 1563nm of carbon monoxide 12C16O. The laser stabilization scheme is based on frequency modulation (FM) saturation spectroscopy in a high-finesse ultra-low expansion (ULE) glass optical cavity using CO as the molecular reference for longterm stabilization of the cavity resonance. The NICEOHMS FM modulation method is employed to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio and avoid conversion of laser frequency noise into amplitude noise by the high finesse cavity. We report an Allan Deviation of 1.8x10-12 at 1 second that improves to 3.5x10-14 after 1000 seconds of averaging.
Improving the Health of Our Nation’s Children: Best Practices for Implementation of the New Child and Adult Care Food Program Nutrition Standards

description: The prevalence of childhood obesity in the US is a pressing public health concern, especially among more vulnerable low-income and minority populations. Intervening in early childhood settings may help to alleviate poor health outcomes now and in the future, as well as prevent against academic, social and emotional difficulties that may continue throughout a child’s critical developmental years. The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federal-level entitlement program that addresses these issues primarily through offering low-income child care providers reimbursement for serving foods that meet healthy nutritional guidelines. CACFP affords children many health benefits and has done so since its inception as a food assistance pilot program back in 1968; however, no significant nutritional updates to the meal pattern have gone into effect since then. In 2010 under the passage of the Health Hunger-free Kids Act (HHFKA), CACFP received meal pattern changes that more closely align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the latest nutritional science, and bring it more in line with other federal child nutrition programs. The new meal pattern will go into effect in October 2017. With all of the new meal pattern changes, states may experience challenges to implementation. In order to ensure that updated nutritional requirements are fulfilled as intended, states will need guidance, support and technical assistance. This paper will offer states implementing the new CACFP meal pattern a set of best practice recommendations for implementation efforts. States will need to create collaborative partnerships and engage stakeholders, develop training infrastructure and materials, offer technical assistance to CACFP sponsors and providers and consider cost containment measures and funding in carrying out the new meal pattern. Best practices will help states effectively make the transition to the new meal pattern and ensure that millions of children participating in CACFP every day receive the nourishment they need to maintain a healthy weight so they may continue to live healthy, productive lives.

Importance of the completeness of the configuration interaction and close coupling expansions in R-matrix calculations for highly-charged ions: electron-impact excitation of Fe $^{20+}$

description: We have carried-out two intermediate coupling frame transformation (ICFT) R-matrix calculations for the electron-impact excitation of C-like Fe $^{20+}$, both of which use the same expansions for their configuration interaction (CI) and close-coupling (CC) representations. The first expansion arises from the configurations 2s$^2$ 2p$^2$, 2s 2p$^3$, 2p$^4$, {2s$^2$ 2p, 2s 2p$^2$, 2p$^3$} nl, with n=3,4, for l=0-3, which give rise to 564 CI/CC levels. The second adds configurations 2s$^2$ 2p 5l, for l=0-2, which give rise to 590 CI/CC levels in total. Comparison of oscillator strengths and effective collision strengths from these two calculations demonstrates the lack of convergence in data for n=4 from the smaller one. Comparison of results for the 564 CI/CC level calculation with an earlier ICFT R-matrix calculation which used the exact same CI expansion but truncated the CC expansion to only 200 levels demonstrates the lack of convergence of the earlier data, particularly for n=3 levels. Also, we find that the results of our 590 CC R-matrix calculation are significantly and systematically larger than those of an earlier comparable Distorted Wave-plus-resonances calculation. Thus, it is important still to take note of the (lack of) convergence in both atomic structural and collisional data, even in such a highly-charged ion as Fe $^{20+}$, and to treat resonances non-perturbatively. This is of particular importance for Fe ions given their importance in the spectroscopic diagnostic modelling of astrophysical plasmas.
