description: We investigate the possibility of testing Einstein's general theory of relativity (GR) and the standard cosmological model via the $E_{\rm G}$ statistic using neutral hydrogen (HI) intensity mapping. We generalise the Fourier space estimator for $E_{\rm G}$ to include HI as a biased tracer of matter and forecast statistical errors using HI clustering and lensing surveys that can be performed in the near future, in combination with ongoing and forthcoming optical galaxy and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) surveys. We find that fractional errors $< 1\%$ in the $E_{\rm G}$ measurement can be achieved in a number of cases and compare the ability of various survey combinations to differentiate between GR and specific modified gravity models. Measuring $E_{\rm G}$ with intensity mapping and the Square Kilometre Array can provide exquisite tests of gravity at cosmological scales.

Inactivation of Cryptosporidium parvum Oocysts and Clostridium perfringens Spores in Water by Electrochemically Generated Mixed Oxidants
Creators: name: Casteel, Michael James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: Alternative disinfectants of drinking water are needed because conventional chlorination is ineffective against Cryptosporidium parvum, a major water borne pathogen. Reliable indicators of disinfection efficacy for C. parvum are needed, and Clostridium perfringens spores have been proposed. In a previous study, a 5mg/L concentration of mixed oxidants (MIOX) generated by the electrolysis of brine (MIOX Corp., Albuquerque, NM) achieved >3.5 and 2.7 log[10] inactivation of C. parvum oocysts and C. perfringens spores, respectively, in oxidant demand-free (ODF) water at pH 7 and 25°C after 4 hours. To determine if MIOX is effective at lower concentrations of ≤4 mg/L and 7 mg/L, batch disinfection experiments were done at pH 6 and 8 and 25°C. C. parvum oocyst viability was quantified by cell culture infectivity assay, and C.perfringens spores were enumerated by colony counts on mCp agar. Inactivation of C. perfringens spores and C. parvum oocysts was greater at lower pH and at higher MIOX concentration, and spores were more rapidly inactivated than oocysts. The use of repetitive washing procedures reduced the demand of the test microbes, and enabled more extensive in activation when compared to unpurified or crude preparations. At each dose level tested, reductions of C. parvum oocysts were slightly less than C. perfringens spores (≈ 0.5 to < 1 log[10]). At doses of 1-3 mg/L and 60 minutes of contact time, C. perfringens spores were only inactivated by about 50-80%, while at doses of 4 and 7 mg/L, 90% and 99.7% of C. perfringens spores were inactivated, respectively. After 60 minutes of contact time, infectious C. parvum oocysts were reduced by about 0.3, 0.8, 1.5, and 2-2.5 log[10] (50%, 84%, 97%, >99%, almost 99.9%) at doses of 1,2,3,4, and 7 mg/L, respectively. Coliphage MS2, a bacterial virus, and Escherichia coli B were also exposed to low doses (about 2 mg/L) of MIOX, but were reduced by >99.6% after 3 minutes of contact time. These results show that C. perfringens spores are reliable indicators for the disinfection efficacy of MIOX on C. parvum oocysts. Other proposed indicators of water quality, such as MS2 and E. coli, are unlikely to serve as useful indicators for the inactivation of oocysts. In order to achieve ≥2 log[10] (≥ 99%) inactivation of C. parvum oocysts in the time available at most community water treatment plants (<1 hour), a dose of 4 mg/L or greater would be needed.

description: Epigenetic mechanisms are of fundamental importance for resolving and maintaining cellular identity. The mechanisms regulating muscle stem and progenitor cell identity have ramifications for understanding all aspects of myogenesis. The epigenetic mechanisms regulating muscle stem cells are therefore important aspects for understanding the regulation of muscle regeneration and maintenance. Important roles for the trithorax H3K4 histone methyltransferase (HMT) MLL1 have been established for early embryogenesis, and for hematopoietic and neural identity. Here, using a conditional Mll1 knockout (KO), we find that in vivo, MLL1 is necessary for efficient muscle regeneration, and for maintenance and proliferation of muscle stem and progenitor cells. Loss of Mll1 in cultured myoblasts reveals an essential role for expression of the myogenic specification gene Pax7. Mll1 KO results in a minor decrease in Pax7 mRNA and a strong decrease of Pax7 protein. While MLL1 was found to bind the Pax7 promoter, Mll1 KO results in a minor decrease of H3K4me3 at Pax7, supporting a recognized non-HMT role for Mll1 at Pax7. Microarray analysis of mRNA expression in Mll1 KO myoblasts finds that Myf5 is the most strongly downregulated of all genes, unexpectedly, mRNA expression of previously identified MLL1 targets are unaffected by loss of MLL1 in myoblasts. Pax7 activates Myf5 expression through recruitment of a H3K4 HMT, and in Mll1 KO myoblasts expression of, and H3K4me3 at Myf5 is lost. Exogenous Pax7 rescues Myf5 expression and H3K4me3 at Myf5 in the absence of MLL1, indicating that Myf5 expression is conditional on Pax7, but not MLL1. We also show that Myf5 DNA is methylated in non-myogenic cells, and in satellite stem cells that have never expressed Myf5, but is not methylated in satellite cells that are committed to the myogenic lineage, indicating that demethylation of Myf5 may be a fundamental step in myogenic commitment. Intriguingly, Myf5 promoter DNA becomes remethylated in Mll1 KO myoblasts. This work finds that Pax7 expression and myogenic identity is partly dependent on MLL1 expression. Further, evidence is uncovered that myogenic commitment is initiated by demethylation of Myf5. These findings add to the understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms that regulate and define muscle stem cells.

description: On December 30th, 2015 a storm event occurred and led to severe flooding of the parking lots of Sheps Center (located at 725 Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, Chapel Hill, NC). The runoff overtopped the banks of the ditch and flowed into the parking lots, carrying substantial amount of debris, sediment and leaves, severely affecting the normal function of the parking lots. The irregular open channel parallel to the Sheps building is determined to be the main cause of flooding by field observation. This report sought to identify the specific channel problems in detail and quantify their relative importance. Four technical options were presented and compared against five criteria. The recommended solution is a combination of all the four options, and includes increasing the channel section, fixing the choke points, improving pipe diversion inlet protection and replacing the culvert. An implementation plan was developed and the project costs were estimated.

description: We suggest a quantum black hole model that is based on an analogue to hydrogen atoms. A self-regular Schwarzschild-AdS black hole is investigated, where the mass density of the extreme black hole is given by the probability density of the ground state of hydrogen atoms and the mass densities of non-extreme black holes are given by the probability densities of excited states with no angular momenta. Such an analogue is inclined to adopt quantization of black hole horizons. In this way, the total mass of black holes is quantized. Furthermore, the quantum hoop conjecture and the Correspondence Principle are discussed.

Year: 2011

description: Agriculture in the United States has shifted from small operations to larger industrial operations. The effects of this shift on water quality have not been well characterized. This study evaluated microbial water quality in surface waters adjacent to swine lagoon waste spray fields. Surface water samples (n=189) were collected weekly from mid-February to mid-August 2010 and then monthly through mid-January 2011 from public access waters in proximity to swine lagoon spray fields in Duplin County, North Carolina. Water samples exceeded federal and state surface water quality criteria for fecal coliforms 38% of the time, and exceeded EPA recommended criteria for E. coli and Enterococcus 43% and 73% of the time, respectively. DNA was extracted from 500mL of each water sample and tested for proposed swine-specific Bacteroidales markers Pig-1-Bac, Pig-2-Bac, and Pig-Bac-2 as well as methanogen P23-2 using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Water samples did not contain methanogen P23-2, but were positive for Bacteroidales Pig-1-Bac (17%), Pig-2-Bac (13%), and Pig-Bac-2 (65%). In tests of known source waste samples, Bacteroidales Pig-1-Bac and Pig-2-Bac had specificities of 100%, while Pig-Bac-2 was observed to have a poor specificity of 37%. The sensitivities of these Bacteroidales markers ranged from 80-87%. Overall, these results could help inform management decisions for waste disposal practices and identify new tools to distinguish sources of fecal contamination in the environment.
Are Wastewater Treatment Residuals Applications The Major Source Of Perfluorienated Compounds (PFC) Contamination? An Analysis of Two Counties in The Cape Fear River Basin, North Carolina

Year: 2015

description: An initial database of wastewater sludge application is built to test whether wastewater sludge application is the major source of Perfluorinated Compounds (PFC) contamination in Cape Fear River Basin. A Land use regression (LUR) model is framed to analyze the association between wastewater sludge applications and PFC contamination based on three approaches: Euclidean distances, River distances, and Flows. The wastewater sludge application database covers a 10-year time period consisting of 2001-2002 and 2004-2011, and two counties with the highest PFC contamination in Cape Fear River Basin. The database indicates that the wastewater sludge applications have been on the rise during the study time period. Statistically insignificant LUR results indicate that (1) sludge application is not the main source of PFC contamination, or (2) sludge application is the main source of PFC contamination, but more data are needed to test whether they are associated with elevated PFC contamination.

description: Following a stroke, the majority of survivors experience challenges returning to participation, also known as “involvement in life situations” in the International Classification of Functioning, Health, and Disability. Contextual factors, such as low income and linguistic minority status, have been shown to have an impact on participation post stroke; however, the process by which this occurs is poorly understood. The aim of this research was to increase our understanding of how low income and official minority language status influence the experience of return to participation following a stroke. A qualitative multiple case study approach was used with eight francophone stroke survivors living in a low-income situation in eastern Ontario (Canada). Data was collected from several sources: semi-structured interviews with the stroke survivors and with their care partners, participant observations, four measures, and chart reviews. Data was categorised, and patterns that furthered understanding of the experience of return to participation were identified during intra and cross-case analyses. The stroke survivors were all able to access healthcare and social services in both official languages, and the findings suggest that official language minority status had limited influence on the experience of return to participation. Low income, however, influenced precursors to participation by limiting the stroke survivors’ ability to afford housing, goods (e.g., medication, equipment), and services (e.g., transportation, private therapy). Certain personal and environmental factors modulated the experience of return to participation – specifically, age, knowledge of the healthcare and social service systems, support of family and friends, the built environment, and health literacy. The healthcare and social policies of the macro environment, which regulates the healthcare and social services, had a critical influence on the experience of return to participation for these stroke survivors, irrespective of their individual situations, unless wealth or financial support was available.

description: Oncolytic Viruses (OVs) are often attenuated to increase their safety profile, however this can lead to reduced efficacy in heterogeneous malignancies and result in resistance to OV therapy. Our group utilizes small molecule enhancers of OV therapy termed viral sensitizers. These small molecules have been shown to enhance the replication and spread of oncolytic rhabdovirus VSVΔ51 in vitro and prolong survival in tumour-bearing mice. In this study, we evaluate the ef-fect of these viral sensitizers on the innate antiviral response in order to identify the mechanism of action responsible for their viral-sensitizing properties. Our previous data suggest that VSe1 and its structural analogues affect the type I IFN antiviral response and have the potential to af-fect cellular redox homeostasis. We hypothesized that VSe1 and its structural analogues potenti-ate VSV∆51 activity by inhibiting the type I IFN response via redox-mediated dysregulation. In this study, we demonstrate that the viral sensitizers inhibit the nuclear translocation and transcrip-tional activity of NFκB, which in turn dampens the expression of antiviral cytokines IFN-, TNFα and IL-6. We also provide evidence supporting the possibility that the NFκB inhibition may be a result of the formation of ROS intermediates by the viral sensitizers, which leads to re-duced nuclear translocation of NFκB subunits, thereby preventing NFκB-mediated cytokine production. Overall, this work contributes to the identification of the mechanism of action of our viral sensitizers and highlights the finding that oncolytic VSV infection can be enhanced through redox-mediated modulation of the innate antiviral response.
Household Drinking Water Filtration Technologies Used to Reduce Diarrhea in Developing Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Creators: name: Kuhn, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Unsafe drinking water and inadequate sanitation and hygiene contribute to over 3.5 billion episodes of diarrhea each year, many of which can be reduced by technologies such as point-of-use (POU)household water filters. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature on household POU filtration in developing countries found 14 intervention studies documenting reductions of endemic diarrheal disease in all ages and in children under five years old. Results suggest bias within the literature possibly from lack of blinding within study protocols, or from correlation among study characteristics. Random-effects meta-regression analyses suggest ceramic candle type filters were more effective than other filter types. Overall meta-analysis results suggest that future research on the health benefits of POU filtration should focus on children between the ages of two and four years old, populations in Sub-Saharan Africa, and head-to-head comparisons of filter type.

description: Increasingly, software engineering has become an important part of academic research, with the term research software engineering first appearing in 2010 (Prause et al., 2010). Research software engineering work and the individuals who do it have increasingly frequent and crucial roles to play in the research process across disciplines, while psychological factors related to this work and the research software engineer (RSE) identity remain under-explored. We aim to explore how social identification with the RSE identity is associated with a variety of professionally relevant variables, including professional success and satisfaction and quality of team communication; individual differences in responding to obstacles, threats, and opportunities; team-level and project-level resilience; professional autonomy; and attitudes towards automation.

Iodine Inactivation of Hepatitis A Virus, Poliovirus 1 and Echovirus 1 in Model Worst Case Water
Creators: name: McCall, Donald E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Hepatitis A virus, poliovirus 1 and echovirus 1 were exposed to either 8 or 16 mg/Qt iodine under controlled extreme water conditions (5 degree C, 5 NTU Bentonite clay and 10 mg/L dissolved organic acids) at three pH values (4.5, 7.0 and 9.5). Virus titers were determined from halogen quenched samples collected at specific time points over a sixty minute contact time. The primary research objective was to determine if globaline (iodine) at present concentration (8 mg/tablet/quart of water) and used according to present instruction (1 tablet, 2 tablets if water cloudy or cold, and thirty minutes contact time) is sufficient protection against HAV or other enteroviruses. Iodine virucidal efficiency was dependent upon virus type, pH and iodine concentration. Iodine stability decreased above neutral pH. The three test viruses survived sixty minutes iodine contact at pH 4.5, 8 and 16 mg/Qt iodine and at pH 7.0, 8 mg/Qt iodine. At pH 7.0, 16 mg/Qt iodine, HAV was not detectable after one minute, echo 1 was not detectable after ten minutes, and polio 1 survived sixty minute contact. At pH 9.5, 8 mg/Qt iodine, showed the most rapid inactivation rate but viruses were detected at sixty minutes. At pH 9.5 and 16 ing/Qt, survival of HAV and polio increased. First order inactivation kinetics were not observed for the three test viruses under trial conditions.

description: We study three instances of log-correlated processes on the interval: the logarithm of the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) characteristic polynomial, the Gaussian log-correlated potential in presence of edge charges, and the Fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index $H \to 0$ (fBM0). In previous collaborations we obtained the probability distribution function (PDF) of the value of the global minimum (equivalently maximum) for the first two processes, using the {\it freezing-duality conjecture} (FDC). Here we study the PDF of the position of the maximum $x_m$ through its moments. Using replica, this requires calculating moments of the density of eigenvalues in the $β$-Jacobi ensemble. Using Jack polynomials we obtain an exact and explicit expression for both positive and negative integer moments for arbitrary $β>0$ and positive integer $n$ in terms of sums over partitions. For positive moments, this expression agrees with a very recent independent derivation by Mezzadri and Reynolds. We check our results against a contour integral formula derived recently by Borodin and Gorin (presented in the Appendix A from these authors). The duality necessary for the FDC to work is proved, and on our expressions, found to correspond to exchange of partitions with their dual. Performing the limit $n \to 0$ and to negative Dyson index $β\to -2$, we obtain the moments of $x_m$ and give explicit expressions for the lowest ones. Numerical checks for the GUE polynomials, performed independently by N. Simm, indicate encouraging agreement. Some results are also obtained for moments in Laguerre, Hermite-Gaussian, as well as circular and related ensembles. The correlations of the position and the value of the field at the minimum are also analyzed.

A Dynamic, Mechanistic Model of the Ozone/Peroxide Process for Destruction of Micropollutants in Water
Creators: name: Iwamasa, Kathryn J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: The development of a dynamic, mechanistic model of the ozone/peroxide destruction of a micropollutant is discussed. A mathematical model consisting of a set of partial differential and algebraic equations to describe the change in concentration in a bubble contactor for each species is presented, and numerical methods to solve this system of equations are discussed briefly. Sensitivity of the model to input parameters is investigated; particularly, the reaction rate constant between the micropollutant and the hydroxyl radical, mass transfer coefficient, liquid dispersion coefficient, gas dispersion coefficient, in fluent pH, total carbonate species concentration, and reactor configuration. Transient results show the system approaches steady state within three bed-volumes under the specified conditions. Model predictions indicate that in the presence of carbonate species, the rate constant between the micropollutant and the hydroxyl radical is of particular importance for micropollutant removal. Species having rate constants greater than 10(superscript)9M(superscript)-1s(superscript)-1 compete well with the carbonate/hydroxyl radical reactions. Results demonstrate the efficiency of micropollutant removal in low dispersion reactors. Gas phase dispersion and reactor configuration are shown to have relatively little effect on predicted micropollutant removal. Model predictions compare well to data from an existing ozone/peroxide plant.

description: On April 15, 2005 more than sixty scholars from China, North America, and Europe gathered at Columbia Law School for a conference in honor of Stanley Lubman. The conference celebrated Stanley's seventieth year-and more importantly, his tremendous contribution to the field of Chinese legal studies. Stanley Lubman is one of a handful of 20th century Americans who pioneered the study of Chinese law. Stanley has had impact on the Chinese law field in numerous ways. He has taught Chinese law at most leading law schools in the U.S.-including at Boalt Hall, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, and Stanford. While teaching, he has produced scholarship of great breadth, including on topics such as dispute resolution, administrative law, and American policy toward China. In addition to his own scholarship, he has been a major force in encouraging scholarship on Chinese law by others, primarily through organizing a number of important conferences and editing collections of key articles on Chinese law. Stanley also played a vital role in helping to foster legal exchanges between China and the United States. More recently, Stanley has played a more direct role in legal reform and development in China. Finally, he was one of the first American lawyers to establish a practice related to China.
Multidimensional Toda Lattices: Continuous and Discrete Time

description: In this paper we present multidimensional analogues of both the continuous- and discrete-time Toda lattices. The integrable systems that we consider here have two or more space coordinates. To construct the systems, we generalize the orthogonal polynomial approach for the continuous and discrete Toda lattices to the case of multiple orthogonal polynomials.
Estimating the Private Benefits of Vaccination Against Cholera in Beira, Mozambique: A Travel Cost Approach
Creators: name: Jeuland, Marc A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The paper reports the results of a study that estimates households' private demand for cholera vaccines based on their travel behavior. We take advantage of an unusual natural experiment. In January 2004, more than 41,000 residents in Beira, Mozambique received two doses of the new-generation oral recombinant toxin B subunit killed whole-cell rBS-WC cholera vaccine during the first vaccination trial to test its effectiveness in an endemic cholera zone of Africa. The trial was designed to target about 22,000 residents in the Esturro neighborhood; nine outposts were established there to distribute vaccines free of charge. Due to the high demand for the vaccines, the trial was modified so that citizens from outside Esturro could also be vaccinated. About 30,000 outsiders came, resulting in long queues and an average waiting time of about 85 minutes per dose. We obtained information from the complete database of vaccinated individuals collected at the Esturro vaccination outposts, as well as household information collected from a sample of city-wide, in-person interviews conducted in the summer of 2005, to estimate travel cost models of the revealed demand for cholera vaccines among households informed of the trial. We estimated standard and zero-inflated household count models of vaccine demand and dichotomous choice models for the head of the household. To our knowledge, this is the first application of the travel cost method to estimate vaccine demand. Our travel cost analysis showed that distance traveled and time spent in acquiring vaccines were critical determinants of coverage levels in the population. The quantity of vaccines obtained by households decreased as travel cost — in time and transport expenses — rose. Our best estimates of per capita willingness to pay for cholera vaccination are about US$1. These travel cost estimates are sensitive to the assumed value of time spent acquiring vaccines, and are somewhat lower than those obtained using the contingent valuation method (about US$1.40 per capita).

description: We report low-temperature heat transport measurements on superconducting iron sulfide FeS with $T_c \approx$ 5 K, which has the same crystal structure and similar electronic band structure to the superconducting iron selenide FeSe. In zero magnetic field, a significant residual linear term $κ_0/T$ is observed. At low field, $κ_0/T$ increases rapidly with the increase of field. These results provide strong evidence for nodal superconducting gap in FeS. We compare it with the sister compound FeSe, and other iron-based superconductors with nodal gap.
