Cone Beam CT in Occlusal Caries Research
Creators: name: Rathore, Sonali A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The diagnosis of occlusal caries remains a challenge due to lack of a single sensitive and reproducible diagnostic tool. Conebeam computed tomography (CT) is volumetric imaging method which allows structures to be visualized in 3D as well as in discrete cross-sections. This research project was an in-vitro study to evaluate occlusal caries using conebeam CT and to compare microCT with histology in caries assessment. The project was divided in two specific aims. In the first aim, we compared the Cone beam CT with intraoral digital radiography in the detection of occlusal caries. For this a sample of sixty teeth were imaged first with intraoral digital radiographs and then with cone beam CT. Histology of these teeth was done, to serve as ground truth. Six observers looked at all the images and their responses were evaluated by ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) analysis. Az (Area under the curve), was analyzed using ANOVA. We concluded that there were no differences in accuracy between the two modalities. For the second aim, we compared micro-CT with histology for detection of occlusal caries. Accuracy was determined using Sensitivity and Specificity of the micro-CT. Precision was determined using Inter and Intraobserver Kappa Statistics. We found that micro-CT compared well with histology, but due to some limitations in our portable micro-CT unit, it cannot completely replace it as the new gold standard.

description: This paper explores the dynamics of warm intermediate and logamediate inflationary models during weak dissipative regime with a general form of dissipative coefficient. We analyze these models within the framework of locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type I universe. In both cases, we evaluate solution of inflaton, effective scalar potential, dissipative coefficient, slow-roll parameters, scalar and tensor power spectra, scalar spectral index and tensor to scalar ratio under slow-roll approximation. We constrain the model parameters using recent data and conclude that anisotropic inflationary universe model with generalized dissipation coefficient remains compatible with WMAP9, Planck and BICEP2 data.

Differing Aesthetics: Multiplicity and Jacques-Louis David’s Paris and Helen
Creators: name: Curley, Andrew Eric
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Jacques-Louis David’s The Loves of Paris and Helen (1789), which depicts the lovers embracing in a secluded and sumptuous bedroom, differs from his previous work in its choice of amatory rather than heroic or didactic subject. David perceived this commission as an opportunity to explore new aesthetic terrain by focusing on the complexities of mythology as an intellectual category. Contemporary debate defined the duality of myth: la fable as the sum total of cultural products related to these stories and la mythologie as the complex psychological meanings behind the legends. David’s painting is correspondingly bifocal. Primarily, he renders the lovers in a veristic and accurate setting, appropriating the mythological and erotic to his own contemporary aesthetic. Secondarily, by drawing upon the deep literary and visual history behind this story, the artist displays the characters’ ambiguity and offers a visual speculation on the psychological forces which lie behind their union.

Reality / TV / celebrity
Creators: name: Raskin, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This research addresses the construction of personae on reality television series. Given Richard Dyer's formulation of stardom as a balance of ordinary and extraordinary qualities, this paper seeks to understand how a reality television participant, lacking any traditional performance talent, could be articulated as extraordinary. Kenneth Burke's concept of "mystery" as a desirability attached to objects atop a social hierarchy is used to help explicate the qualities of extraordinariness in reality TV stardom. Comparative formal analyses of three reality "star texts" delineate the differences between two women who attain limited fame and one who achieves wider stardom. It is concluded that two qualities are necessary to transcending the usual limits of reality television fame: the articulation of social power (closely tied to class); and the appearance of freedom and agency, even when under the constant surveillance of producers and camera operators.

Year: 2015

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Context: Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a discipline which has evolved to structure the business and its alignment with the IT systems. One of the popular enterprise architecture frameworks is Zachman framework (ZF). This framework focuses on describing the enterprise from six viewpoint perspectives of the stakeholders. These six perspectives are based on English language interrogatives 'what', 'where', 'who', 'when', 'why', and 'how' (thus the term W5H Journalists and police investigators use the W5H to describe an event. However, EA is not an event, creation and evolution of EA challenging. Moreover, the ordering of viewpoints is not defined in the existing EA frameworks, making data capturing process difficult. Our goals are to 1) assess if W5H is sufficient to describe modern EA and 2) explore the ordering and precedence among the viewpoint concerns. Method: we achieve our goals by bringing tools from the Linguistics, focusing on a full set of English Language interrogatives to describe viewpoint concerns and the inter-relationships and dependencies among these. Application of these tools is validated using pedagogical EA examples. Results: 1) We show that addition of the seventh interrogative 'which' to the W5H set (we denote this extended set as W6H) yields extra and necessary information enabling creation of holistic EA. 2) We discover that particular ordering of the interrogatives, established by linguists (based on semantic and lexical analysis of English language interrogatives), define starting points and the order in which viewpoints should be arranged for creating complete EA. 3) We prove that adopting W6H enables creation of EA for iterative and agile SDLCs, e.g. Scrum. Conclusions: We believe that our findings complete creation of EA using ZF by practitioners, and provide theoreticians with tools needed to improve other EA frameworks, e.g., TOGAF and DoDAF.

Dimensional Equations of Entropy

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Popular Physics (physics.pop-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Entropy is a quantity which is of great importance in physics and chemistry. The concept comes out of thermodynamics, proposed by Rudolf Clausius in his analysis of Carnot cycle and linked by Ludwig Boltzmann to the number of specific ways in which a physical system may be arranged. Any physics classroom, in its task of learning physics, has therefore to face this crucial concept. As we will show in this paper, the lectures can be enriched by discussing dimensional equations linked to the entropy of some physical systems.
Blue Wings and Bumps via Fermi-like Acceleration of Lyman-alpha photons across Shocks

description: We explore the impact of Fermi-like acceleration of Lyman-alpha (Lyα) photons across shock fronts on the observed Lyα spectral line shape. We first confirm the result of Neufeld & McKee (1988) that this mechanism gives rise to extended blue wings which may have been observed in some radio galaxies. Our Monte-Carlo radiative transfer calculations further show that in a minor modification of the shell-model, in which we add an additional static shell of hydrogen, this process can naturally explain the small blue bumps observed in a subset of Lyα emitting galaxies, which have been difficult to explain with conventional shell-models. Blue bumps can be produced with an additional column density of static hydrogen as small as $N_{HI}^{static} \ll N_{HI}^{shell}$, and typically occur at roughly the outflow velocity of the shell. In our model the spectra of so-called 'blue-bump objects' might reflect an evolutionary stage in which the outflows regulating the escape of Lyα photons are still engulfed within a static interstellar medium.

description: The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center spin in diamond can be used to realize quantum computation and to sense magnetic fields. Its spin triplet consists of three levels labeled with its spin z-components of +1, 0, and -1. Without external field, the +1 and -1 states are degenerate and higher than the 0 state due to the zero-field splitting. By taking the symmetrical and anti-symmetrical superpositions of the +1 and -1 states as our qubit basis, we obtain exact evolution operator of the NV center spin under time-dependent magnetic field by mapping the three-level system on time-dependent quantum two-level systems with exact analytical solutions. With our exact evolution operator of the NV center spin including three levels, we show that arbitrary qubits can be prepared from the starting 0 state and arbitrary rapid quantum logic gates of these qubits can be realized with magnetic fields. In addition, it is made clear that the typical quantum logic gates can be accomplished within a few nanoseconds and the fidelity can be very high because only magnetic field strength needs to be controlled in this approach. These results should be useful to realizing quantum computing with the NV center spin systems in diamond and exploring other effects and applications.

description: Observations in the Mg XII 8.42 AA line onboard the CORONAS-F satellite have revealed compact high temperature objects-hot X-ray points (HXP)-and their major physical parameters were investigated. Time dependencies of temperature, emission measure, intensity, and electron density were measured for 169 HXPs. HXP can be divided into two groups by their temperature variations: those with gradually decreasing temperature and those with rapidly decreasing temperature. HXPs plasma temperatures lie in the range of 5-40 MK, the emission measure is $10^{45}$- $10^{48}$ cm$^{-3}$, and the electron density is above $10^{10}$ cm$^{-3}$, which exceeds the electron density in the quiet Sun ($10^8$-$10^9$ cm$^{-3}$). HXPs lifetimes vary between 5-100 minutes, significantly longer than the conductive cooling time. This means that throughout a HXP's lifetime, the energy release process continues, which helps to maintain its high temperature. A HXP's thermal energy is not greater than $10^{28}$ erg, and the total energy, which is released in HXPs, does not exceed $10^{30}$ erg. HXPs differ in their physical properties from other flare-like microevents, such as microflares, X-ray bright points, and nanoflares.

description: We draw buy and sell valuations uniformly at random from integers between 0 to 1000. There is private information to the realization of the draws, but common knowledge regarding the distributions, the market rules and market sizes. We follow a 3*4 design. We run 3 types of market sizes. -Small: 1 buyer 1 seller -Medium: 5 and 5 -Large: 50 and 50 We run 4 versions of Walrasian Double Auctions (DAs) with different market rules (i.e. different fee structures): -Classical DA: buyers and sellers submit bids and asks. clearing at competitive equilibrium. in case of multiple CE prices middle is chosen. no fees. -Price Fee: as classical DA with clearing at competitive equilibrium but a 10% fee of the price is charged to both parties -Half-Margin Fee: variant of classical DA whereby half of absolute difference between successful bid/ask and Competitive Equilibrium clearing price is charges as fee. -Name Your Own Price: you pay what you bid and you get what you ask. bid-ask spread is kept by marketmaker. The Bayesian Nash equilibria of these games differ. We test the following predictions related to them: H1. Efficiency increases in the Classical DA and in the 10% Price Fee auction as market grows H2. Efficiency does not increase for Name Your Own Price and Half-Margin Fee H3. Given a market size, bidding becomes more strategic (more shading) moving from Classical DA to Half-Margin Fee to Name Your Own Price H4. Given a market size, bidding is comparably (same order) strategic in Classical DA and in 10% Price Fee Further, we will investigate and compare the platform earnings from the different fee structures depending on market size. Note: in order to incentivize traders and to make sure no subject can loose money, bids and asks are required to fulfill individual rationality constraints, i.e. we forbid bids and asks on the "wrong" side of reservation prices.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Schizophrenia is a severe, debilitating, and complex disease. It is characterized by delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior. As a complex disease, schizophrenia is thought to be caused by many genes. In addition the etiology is thought to be heterogeneous across the population of persons suffering from schizophrenia. In an attempt to dissect the heterogeneity of the disease, and investigate the role of candidate genes associated with schizophrenia, several studies were completed. The first was a case only association study of neurocognition and COMT, a candidate gene for schizophrenia. This is the largest study of its kind to date. The second study addresses the possibility of predisposition due to differential expression of candidate genes. In this study expression of another candidate gene PRODH was assessed. Together these studies aimed at investigating the polymorphisms of candidate genes for schizophrenia.

description: The Lupus I cloud is found between the Upper-Scorpius (USco) and the Upper-Centaurus-Lupus (UCL) sub-groups of the Sco-Cen OB-association, where the expanding USco H I shell appears to interact with a bubble currently driven by the winds of the remaining B-stars of UCL.We want to study how collisions of large-scale interstellar gas flows form and influence new dense clouds in the ISM.We performed LABOCA continuum sub-mm observations of Lupus I that provide for the first time a direct view of the densest, coldest cloud clumps and cores at high angular resolution.We complemented those by Herschel and Planck data from which we constructed column density and temperature maps.We calculated PDFs to characterize the density structure of the cloud.The northern part of Lupus I is found to have on average lower densities and higher temperatures as well as no active star formation.The center-south part harbors dozens of pre-stellar cores where density and temperature reach their maximum and minimum, respectively.Our analysis of the column density PDFs from the Herschel data show double peak profiles for all parts of the cloud which we attribute to an external compression.In those parts with active star formation, the PDF shows a power-law tail at high densities.The PDFs we calculated from our LABOCA data trace the denser parts of the cloud showing one peak and a power-law tail.With LABOCA we find 15 cores with masses between 0.07 and 1.71 Msun and a total mass of ~8 Msun.The total gas and dust mass of the cloud is ~164 Msun and hence 5% of the mass is in cores.From the Herschel and Planck data we find a total mass of ~174 Msun and ~171 Msun, respectively.The position, orientation and elongated shape of Lupus I, the double peak PDFs and the population of pre-stellar and protostellar cores could be explained by the large-scale compression from the advancing USco H I shell and the UCL wind bubble.

description: This study evaluates the effects of the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP), an established home-visiting program, using a scientifically rigorous individual-level randomized controlled trial. The study will be based in South Carolina, where a Medicaid waiver in combination with a pay-for-success contract will allow expansion of the program to women on Medicaid. The study plans to enroll 4000 low-income, first time mothers and their children into the intervention group, and another 2000 into the control group. Using data from administrative records, researchers will evaluate the average impact of NFP on pre-term birth, birth spacing, child injury, as well as the long-term health, education, and economic self-sufficiency of the family. From 1978 to 1994, three modest-scale randomized evaluations had suggested that NFP had a positive impact on birth outcomes, maternal and child health, and other measures of social and economic well-being of mothers and their children. This study aims to yield new evidence on the effect of NFP in a modern context, applied to a new population, across a broad range of outcomes, and financed by a novel public-private partnership based on accountability for outcomes.

Alpha-betagamma and close-in reference distance path loss models are studied in depth to show their value in channel modeling. Additionally, both single-slope and dual-slope omnidirectional path loss models are investigated to analyze and contrast their root-mean-square (RMS) errors on measured path loss values. While the results show that the dual-slope large-scale path loss model can slightly reduce RMS errors compared to its singleslope counterpart in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions, the improvement is not significant enough to warrant adopting the dual-slope path loss model. Furthermore, the shadow fading magnitude versus distance is explored, showing a slight increasing trend in LOS and a decreasing trend in NLOS based on the Aalborg data, but more measurements are necessary to gain a better knowledge of the UMa channels at centimeter- and millimeter-wave frequency bands.

description: We review two definitions of temperature in statistical mechanics, $T_B$ and $T_G$, corresponding to two possible definitions of entropy, $S_B$ and $S_G$, known as surface and volume entropy respectively. We restrict our attention to a class of systems with bounded energy and such that the second derivative of $S_B$ with respect to energy is always negative: the second request is quite natural and holds in systems of obvious relevance, i.e. with a number $N$ of degrees of freedom sufficiently large (examples are shown where $N \sim 100$ is sufficient) and without long-range interactions. We first discuss the basic role of $T_B$, even when negative, as the parameter describing fluctuations of observables in a sub-system. Then, we focus on how $T_B$ can be measured dynamically, i.e. averaging over a single long experimental trajectory. On the contrary, the same approach cannot be used in a generic system for $T_G$, since the equipartition theorem may be spoiled by boundary effects due to the limited energy. These general results are substantiated by the numerical study of a Hamiltonian model of interacting rotators with bounded kinetic energy. The numerical results confirm that the kind of configurational order realized in the regions at small $S_B$, or equivalently at small $|T_B|$, depends on the sign of $T_B$.

A proposal for climate stability on H2-greenhouse planets
Creators: name: Abbot, Dorian S.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A terrestrial planet in an orbit far outside of the standard habitable zone could maintain surface liquid water as a result of H2-H2 collision-induced absorption by a thick H2 atmosphere. Without a stabilizing climate feedback, however, habitability would be accidental and likely brief. In this letter I propose stabilizing climate feedbacks for such a planet that require only that biological functions have an optimal temperature and operate less efficiently at other temperatures. For example, on a planet with a net source of H2 from its interior, H2-consuming life (such as methanogens) could establish a stable climate. If a positive perturbation is added to the equilibrium temperature, H2 consumption by life will increase (cooling the planet) until the equilibrium climate is reestablished. The potential existence of such feedbacks makes H2-warmed planets more attractive astrobiological targets.

Families across borders: the effects of migration on family members remaining at home
Creators: name: Silver, Alexis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This paper examines the effects of migration on the well-being of migrants’ family members remaining in the country of origin. Previous literature discusses the processes of family separation and adjustment to new surroundings as being very trying for immigrants in host countries, but very few studies address the effects of migration on family members in home communities. Acknowledging the hardships faced by family members of migrants remaining at home, I use the Mexican Family Life Survey to empirically assess the effects of migration on the emotional well-being of migrants’ family members in Mexican communities of origin. Results indicate that the migration of close family members to the U.S., especially spouses and children, significantly increases the depressive symptoms and feelings of loneliness reported by family members remaining in Mexico. Women, especially mothers and wives, are the most adversely affected by family member migration.

description: Moving water exerts drag forces on vegetation. The susceptibility of vegetation to bending and breakage determines its flow resistance, and chances of survival, under hydrodynamic loading. To evaluate the role of individual vegetation parameters in this water-vegetation interaction, we conducted drag force measurements under a wide range of wave loadings in a large wave flume. Artificial vegetation elements were used to manipulate stiffness, frontal area in still water and material volume as a proxy for biomass. The aim was to compare: (i) identical volume but different still frontal area, (ii) identical stiffness but different still frontal area, and (iii) identical still frontal area but different volume. Comparison of mimic arrangements showed that stiffness and the dynamic frontal area (i.e., frontal area resulting from bending which depends on stiffness and hydrodynamic forcing) determines drag forces. Only at low orbital-flow velocities did the still frontal area dominate the force-velocity relationship and it is hypothesised that no mimic bending took place under these conditions. Mimic arrangements with identical stiffness but different overall material volume and still frontal area showed that forces do not increase linearly with increasing material volume and it is proposed that short distances between mimics cause their interaction and result in additional drag forces. A model, based on effective leaf length and characteristic plant width developed for unidirectional flow, performed well for the force time series under both regular and irregular waves. However, its uncertainty increased with increasing interaction of neighbouring mimics.
