description: Ground-based gravitational wave detectors use laser interferometry to detect the minuscule distance change between test masses caused by gravitational waves. Stray light that scatters back into the interferometer causes transient signals that can cover the same frequency range as a potential gravitational wave signal. Scattered light noise is a potentially limiting factor in current and future detectors thus making it relevant to find new ways to mitigate it. Here, we demonstrate experimentally a technique for the subtraction of scattered light noise from the displacement readout of a Michelson interferometer. It is based on using a balanced homodyne detector at both the symmetric and the antisymmetric port. While we have been able to demonstrate a noise reduction of \SI{13.2}{\decibel}, the readout scheme seems to be only limited by the associated noise couplings, with no theoretical limit to the scattered light suppression itself other than shot noise. We also discuss challenges for using the dual balanced homodyne detection scheme in more complex interferometer topologies, which could lead to improvements in scattered light noise mitigation of gravitational wave detectors.

description: Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an external stimulus. Hearing ringing, roaring, or rushing in the ears or head is a common phenomenon in adults, affecting about 25% of the global population. For most people, tinnitus can be easily ignored. However, 1-7% of adults in the United States are are living with bothersome, and potentially debilitating tinnitus that causes a disruption of daily life impacting their mood, sleep, and mental health (Bauer et al, 2017). There are many different types of treatment options for people with tinnitus. Some treatment options include the use of sound maskers, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Progressive Tinnitus Management (PTM), and Tinnitus Retraining Therapy (TRT). 

Using a systematic review, we are interested in analyzing the efficacy of TRT. TRT focuses on both conscious and subconscious connections to attempt to reduce the perception of tinnitus. The treatment consists of intensive counseling and the addition of sound therapy. The aim of this systematic review is to assess patient’s perceived benefits from TRT.

description: Community detection in a complex network is an important problem of much interest in recent years. In general, a community detection algorithm chooses an objective function and captures the communities of the network by optimizing the objective function, and then, one uses various heuristics to solve the optimization problem to extract the interesting communities for the user. In this article, we demonstrate the procedure to transform a graph into points of a metric space and develop the methods of community detection with the help of a metric defined for a pair of points. We have also studied and analyzed the community structure of the network therein. The results obtained with our approach are very competitive with most of the well-known algorithms in the literature, and this is justified over the large collection of datasets. On the other hand, it can be observed that time taken by our algorithm is quite less compared to other methods and justifies the theoretical findings.

description: We studied effects of disorder in a three dimensional layered Chern insulator. By calculating the localization length and density of states numerically, we found two distict types of metallic phases between Anderson insulator and Chern insulator; one is diffusive metallic (DM) phase and the other is renormalized Weyl semimetal (WSM) phase. We show that longitudinal conductivity at the zero energy state remains finite in the renormalizd WSM phase as well as in the DM phase, while goes to zero at a semimetal-metal quantum phase transition point between these two. Based on the Einstein relation combined with the self-consistent Born analysis, we give a conductivity scaling near the quantum transition point.

Year: 2020

description: In the fall of 2015, the National Center for Education Statistics reported 9.5% or 4.8 million students were English Language Learners (ELLs) (“The Condition of Education,” 2018).  ELLs often face challenges in school when accessing an English only curriculum. Researchers in education believe that early literacy instruction can mitigate academic disparities (Baker et al., 2012, p. 738); however, there needs to be more research on whether the instruction should be provided in the child’s native language or in English (p. 738). 

There were two methods of literacy intervention for ELLs in this systematic review: sequential intervention and paired intervention. Sequential intervention provides intervention in the student’s native language before transitioning to English. Meanwhile, paired intervention provides intervention in English and Spanish.

description: Chimera states are complex spatiotemporal patterns in networks of identical oscillators, characterized by the coexistence of synchronized and desynchronized dynamics. Here we propose to extend the phenomenon of chimera states to the quantum regime, and uncover intriguing quantum signatures of these states. We calculate the quantum fluctuations about semiclassical trajectories and demonstrate that chimera states in the quantum regime can be characterized by bosonic squeezing, weighted quantum correlations, and measures of mutual information. Our findings reveal the relation of chimera states to quantum information theory, and give promising directions for experimental realization of chimera states in quantum systems.

Outcomes Following Special Olympics Healthy Hearing Screenings
Creators: name: Hamlin, Danielle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Nearly 40% of children with hearing loss have one or more disabilities in addition to hearing loss (1). These include intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, and blindness, all of which have higher rates of prevalence in children with hearing loss when compared to the general population (2). It has also been well documented in the literature that people with I/DD have less access to healthcare, resulting in higher rates of undetected and unmanaged health problems (3). In addition, even when people with I/DD are able to access the healthcare system, providers often find themselves poorly equipped to work with these populations (4).  

Recognizing these issues, the Special Olympics Healthy Hearing (SOHH) was implemented in 1999 in an effort to identify previously undiagnosed hearing loss. In the year 2014 alone, 18,398 hearing screenings were performed globally, resulting in 4,710 referrals (5). Unfortunately, data are not actively collected on how many of these referrals lead to diagnosis and treatment for hearing loss. As one of the goals of the Healthy Hearing program is to improve accessibility to health care, obtaining information on referral outcomes following Healthy Hearing screenings is needed to determine if hearing screening programs are accomplishing their goals. As with all screening programs, it is the intervention that occurs as a result of screening that is most important. This study was designed to gain insight regarding important questions concerning the rate of follow-up, potential barriers to follow-up, and possible solutions to improve access to hearing healthcare for people with I/DD.

Subjects: breastfeeding

description: This pilot quality improvement project aims to understand the contributing factors of early cessation of exclusive breastfeeding at a small community hospital in Southern California. Breastfeeding cessation earlier than desired is a common challenge in the United States, with many mothers claiming to have much longer breastfeeding goals than they can achieve. As of 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2019) reported that only 45.3% of infants were exclusively breastfed at three months old, and at six months old, only 24.9% of infants were exclusively breastfed. Multiple barriers to breastfeeding success have been identified, including lack of provider support, racial and ethnic disparities, difficulties with lactation, the effort associated with breastfeeding and pumping, maternal concern for infant nutritional status, as well as social and cultural influences (Sriraman, 2016; Odom et al., 2013; Louis-Jacques et al., 2017; Onat & Karakoc, 2020). In this project, mothers were offered voluntary participation regardless of delivery method or breastfeeding exclusivity at their two-to-three-week post-delivery follow-up clinic appointment. Anonymous surveys were distributed to 60 participants, and data such as infant age, breastfeeding exclusivity, initial breastfeeding goals during pregnancy, method, and delivery location, breastfeeding status at the time of survey, reasons for beginning formula supplementation, and infant age when formula supplementation began. Results of the survey were analyzed using correlational and descriptive statistics. Data analysis showed that 50% of mothers did not receive breastfeeding support despite available resources, and formula was typically started within the first four days of life, despite almost 90% of mothers claiming a desire to breastfeed for one year or more.

Confluence Detection for Transformations of Labelled Transition Systems

description: The development of complex component software systems can be made more manageable by first creating an abstract model and then incrementally adding details. Model transformation is an approach to add such details in a controlled way. In order for model transformation systems to be useful, it is crucial that they are confluent, i.e. that when applied on a given model, they will always produce a unique output model, independent of the order in which rules of the system are applied on the input. In this work, we consider Labelled Transition Systems (LTSs) to reason about the semantics of models, and LTS transformation systems to reason about model transformations. In related work, the problem of confluence detection has been investigated for general graph structures. We observe, however, that confluence can be detected more efficiently in special cases where the graphs have particular structural properties. In this paper, we present a number of observations to detect confluence of LTS transformation systems, and propose both a new confluence detection algorithm and a conflict resolution algorithm based on them.

Increasing Positive Predictive Value for Autism in Infants Using a Dynamic Systems Approach
Creators: name: South, Christine
name: Watson, Linda R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: In order to increase the ability to provide diagnosis-specific interventions as early as possible, key emergent behavioral characteristics of ASD must be differentiated from more general developmental delays during the first two years of life.  Infant sibling studies may be limited in generalizability to the greater population since the majority of children with ASD do not have an affected sibling (Constantino et. al, 2010).   For this reason, it is important to gain more insight into which factors, if any, could be combined to increase positive predictive value for likelihood of ASD diagnosis in a sample comprised of infants identified through screening to be at elevated likelihood of later ASD diagnosis (EL-ASD).   

The Dynamic Systems Theory postulates that the relative instability of one domain of development impacts the expression of another (Estes et. al, 2015).   The literature suggests that  early motor skills and social communication (e.g., types of vocalizations and intentionality; social gesture use) as well as ability to shift eye gaze and temperament differences (e.g., negative affect, passivity) are correlated with ASD outcomes for prodromal infants (Ozanoff et. al, 2010; Zwaigenbaum et. al, 2005; Zwaigenbaum et. al, 2015, Flanagan et. al, 2012; Paul et. al 2011; Garrido et. al, 2017; Woynaroski et. al, 2017; Colgan et. al, 2006; Crais et. al, 2009; Watson et. al, 2013; Wetherby et. al; Zwaigenbaum et. al, 2005; Zwaigenbaum et. al, 2015). This literature provides adequate evidence for the use of variables representing intentional social communication, coordination of eye gaze, motor development, and temperament as possible predictors for diagnostic outcomes from the research sample following a Dynamic Systems perspective.

description: We consider two systems A and B that share Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering correlations and study how these correlations will decay, when each of the systems are independently coupled to a reservoir. EPR steering is a directional form of entanglement, and the measure of steering can change depending on whether the system A is steered by B, or vice versa. First, we examine the decay of the steering correlations of the two-mode squeezed state. We find that if the system B is coupled to a reservoir, then the decoherence of the steering of A by B is particularly marked, to the extent that there is a sudden death of steering after a finite time. We find a different directional effect, if the reservoirs are thermally excited. Second, we study the decoherence of the steering of a Schrödinger cat state, modeled as the entangled state of a spin and harmonic oscillator, when the macroscopic system (the cat) is coupled to a reservoir.

Year: 2020

description: This presentation briefly explains the results of a linguistic study which analyzed the phenomenon of consonant cluster reduction, as well as the factor of lexical aspect, and their effects on the presence of unmarked tense in oral narratives. The inspiration for looking at these two variables in particular comes from historic literature in the sub-fields of linguistics concerned with sociolinguistics and second language acquisition. The data used for this project comes from sociolinguistic interviews conducted by Amy Reynolds with Karen Refugees living in North Carolina at the time of their interview. My analysis found that both consonant cluster reduction and similar phonetic factors, and lexical aspect, have a significant affect on unmarked tense. I was able to complete this project as a recipient of the Summer Award for Research-Intensive Courses given by the Office of Undergraduate Research and the Summer School at UNC-Chapel Hill.

description: We study how the thermodynamic properties of the Triangular Plaquette Model (TPM) are influenced by the addition of extra interactions. The thermodynamics of the original TPM is trivial, while its dynamics is glassy, as usual in Kinetically Constrained Models. As soon as we generalize the model to include additional interactions, a thermodynamic phase transition appears in the system. The additional interactions we consider are either short ranged, forming a regular lattice in the plane, or long ranged of the small-world kind. In the case of long-range interactions we call the new model Random-Diluted TPM. We provide arguments that the model so modified should undergo a thermodynamic phase transition, and that in the long-range case this is a glass transition of the "Random First-Order" kind. Finally, we give support to our conjectures studying the finite temperature phase diagram of the Random-Diluted TPM in the Bethe approximation. This corresponds to the exact calculation on the random regular graph, where free-energy and configurational entropy can be computed by means of the cavity equations.

description: To harness the power of multi-core and distributed platforms, and to make the development of concurrent software more accessible to software engineers, different object-oriented concurrency models such as SCOOP have been proposed. Despite the practical importance of analysing SCOOP programs, there are currently no general verification approaches that operate directly on program code without additional annotations. One reason for this is the multitude of partially conflicting semantic formalisations for SCOOP (either in theory or by-implementation). Here, we propose a simple graph transformation system (GTS) based run-time semantics for SCOOP that grasps the most common features of all known semantics of the language. This run-time model is implemented in the state-of-the-art GTS tool GROOVE, which allows us to simulate, analyse, and verify a subset of SCOOP programs with respect to deadlocks and other behavioural properties. Besides proposing the first approach to verify SCOOP programs by automatic translation to GTS, we also highlight our experiences of applying GTS (and especially GROOVE) for specifying semantics in the form of a run-time model, which should be transferable to GTS models for other concurrent languages and libraries.

description: We propose a geometrical origin for the Shibata-Sasaki compaction function, which is known to be a reliable indicator of primordial black hole formation at least during radiation domination. In the long-wavelength limit, we identify it with a compactness function in the static spacetime obtained by removing the cosmological scale factor from the metric and this explains why it cannot be greater than $1/2$. If its maximum is below $1/2$, the perturbation is of type I. If its maximum equals $1/2$, it corresponds to an extremal surface, which is simultaneously a bifurcating trapping horizon and admits a circular photon orbit in the static spacetime. In the long-wavelength regime of the physical expanding Universe, the Shibata-Sasaki compaction reaches its maximum value of $1/2$ at maximal and minimal surfaces on the constant time spacelike hypersurface, which feature a type II perturbation and both correspond to photon spheres expanding along with the cosmological expansion. Thus, the Shibata-Sasaki compaction measures how close to the type II configuration the perturbed region is.

A Visual Analytics Approach to Compare Propagation Models in Social Networks

description: Numerous propagation models describing social influence in social networks can be found in the literature. This makes the choice of an appropriate model in a given situation difficult. Selecting the most relevant model requires the ability to objectively compare them. This comparison can only be made at the cost of describing models based on a common formalism and yet independent from them. We propose to use graph rewriting to formally describe propagation mechanisms as local transformation rules applied according to a strategy. This approach makes sense when it is supported by a visual analytics framework dedicated to graph rewriting. The paper first presents our methodology to describe some propagation models as a graph rewriting problem. Then, we illustrate how our visual analytics framework allows to interactively manipulate models, and underline their differences based on measures computed on simulation traces.

ARDC Planet RDC Ecological and Biodiversity Workshop Report
Creators: name: ARDC Ltd
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: trusted data supply chains, planet research data commons, environmental data, Ecological and Biodiversity modelling

description: Research and decision-making about biodiversity increasingly depends on statistical models, whose function is to infer where and when species are likely to be found.
 The ARDC is investigating what digital research infrastructure is needed to support researchers in model development and use, and to foster collaborative networked modelling efforts under the Planet Research Data Commons program.
 In mid-August 2023, 27 ecological modelling experts gathered in Brisbane on Turrbal and Yuggera Country to discuss the digital research infrastructure needed to support researchers developing and using ecological and biodiversity models. The workshop was part of a series of consultations underway for the ARDC’s Planet Research Data Commons (Planet RDC), which is developing national-scale data infrastructure for earth and environmental research and decision-making. The workshop participants represented a wide range of organisations, bringing their insights on the needs of terrestrial biodiversity and ecological modelling across academia, government, nonprofits and national infrastructure facilities.

description: Informed by the theory of constructed emotion, this thesis explored how people’s beliefs about their internal bodily or interoceptive signals might interact with and be mediated by alexithymia (difficulty identifying and understanding emotions) in predicting subjective and physiological changes during acute stress. Across two sessions, 250 healthy young adults completed measures of interoceptive beliefs and alexithymia and also underwent the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) to induce acute psychosocial stress. Participants’ cardiac reactivity was measured before, during, and after the TSST. Immediately after the TSST, participants reported what emotions, cognitive appraisals, and somatic sensations they experienced during the stressor. Bivariate correlations revealed that, in particular, body trust beliefs (how much individuals trusted their bodily signals) were negatively associated with alexithymia. Using hierarchical regression analyses, I also found that body trust beliefs predicted less intense negative, high arousal emotions from the TSST. There was also a significant interaction between body trust beliefs and alexithymia, such that greater difficulty identifying emotions exacerbated effects of poor or negative body trust beliefs on negative, high arousal emotions. Finally, in mediation models, I found that body trust beliefs effects on subjective stress were significantly mediated via difficulty identifying emotions. Altogether, these findings reveal that trusting one’s bodily signals and being able to identify and distinguish one’s emotional states are both related and important facets in predicting and perhaps exacerbating vs. mitigating acute stress experiences.
Functional Renormalization Group Approach for Tensorial Group Field Theory: A Rank-6 Model with Closure Constraint
Creators: name: Benedetti, Dario

description: We develop the functional renormalization group formalism for a tensorial group field theory with closure constraint, in the case of an Abelian just renormalizable model with quartic interactions. The method allows us to obtain a closed but non-autonomous system of differential equations which describe the renormalization group flow of the couplings beyond perturbation theory. The explicit dependence of the beta functions on the running scale is due to the existence of an external scale in the model, the radius of the unit circle. We study the occurrence of fixed points and their critical properties in two different approximate regimes, corresponding to the deep UV and deep IR. Besides confirming the asymptotic freedom of the model, we find also a non-trivial fixed point, with one relevant direction. Our results are qualitatively similar to those found previously for a rank-3 model without closure constraint, and it is thus tempting to speculate that the presence of a Wilson-Fisher-like fixed point is a general feature of asymptotically free tensorial group field theories.

Transitions in Health and Motherhood: Perspectives of a Woman with an Intracerebral Hemorrhage During Pregnancy
Creators: name: Smith, Madeline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Life is filled with transitions, that is, changes from one state, condition, or role to another. Changes from health to illness and pregnancy to motherhood are both examples of life transitions. Transitions often leave individuals vulnerable in the process. Turning points are sudden, unpredicted alterations in trajectory. Stroke is an example of a turning point in a person’s life in which they make a transition from health to illness, and can occur during pregnancy. Stroke during pregnancy presents difficulty for the mother beyond the usual transition of becoming a mother post pregnancy. Stroke during pregnancy presents a transition from health to illness in addition to the transition from pregnancy to motherhood, which places the mother in an unusually vulnerable position, where she must adapt to motherhood and the sequelae of stroke. The purpose of this study was to explore in detail a woman’s experience of stroke mid-pregnancy, hospitalization, recovery, long term effects, and how she has adapted to a significant change in her health and subsequent motherhood. A semi-structured interview was conducted to examine the woman’s experience. Transitions theory was a useful framework to analyze the woman’s experience before, during, and after her stroke. Mercer’s theory of Becoming a Mother was also used to understand the woman’s transition into motherhood after the birth of her second child. In practice, nurses need to identify and support patients during turning points that leave them vulnerable physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
