description: This book presents MontiArcAutomaton, a modeling language for architecture and be- havior modeling of Cyber-Physical Systems as interactive Component & Connector mod- els. MontiArcAutomaton extends the Architecture Description Language MontiArc with automata to describe component behavior. The modeling language MontiArcAutomaton provides syntactical elements for defin- ing automata with states, variables, and transitions inside MontiArc components. These syntactical elements and a basic set of well-formedness rules provide the syntax for a fam- ily of modeling languages for state-based behavior modeling in Component & Connector architectures. We present two concrete language profiles with additional well-formedness rules to model time-synchronous component behavior and untimed, event-driven behav- ior of components. This book gives an overview of the MontiArcAutomaton language including examples, a language reference, and a context-free grammar for MontiArcAutomaton models. It also provides syntax definition, well-formedness rules, and semantics for two language profiles. We summarize projects and case studies applying MontiArcAutomaton. MontiArcAutomaton is implemented using the DSL framework MontiCore. Available tools include a textual editor with syntax highlighting and code completion as well as a graphical editor and a powerful and extensible code generation framework for target languages including EMF, Java, Mona, and Python.

Innocence, anger, and excess: constraining and restricting female victims of intimate partner violence
Creators: name: Bodey, Katrina Renae
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the tension between two dominant stereotypes of female victims of intimate partner violence: an innocent victim, or an assertive survivor. 10 female and 10 male participants listened to one of two audio recordings of a woman's experience with intimate partner violence and participated in an interview regarding what they heard. The participants in this study were quite aware of the dominant stereotypes and suggested that women who have been targets of intimate partner violence should not be too much of either. Also, their understandings of intimate partner violence often supported common myths about intimate partner violence. Ultimately, this study has suggested that women who are victims of violence are often constrained by narrow definitions of acceptable feminine behavior and that deviations from those norms has serious consequences for female victims of violence.

description: In this study, the stable emulsion of engine oil in water of concentration 10% was prepared using a non-ionic surfactant. Kapok fibres were used as filter beds to separate oil from the oil–water emulsion. The surface morphology of fibres was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis and chemical bond analysis of fibres done using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Kapok filter beds were prepared with three different bed heights 10, 20 and 30 mm each with four different porosities 0.90, 0.92, 0.95 and 0.98 for preparing the coalescence filter. The oil–water emulsion (influent) was pumped into the filtration column and the coalesced oil droplets, water, as well as un-coalesced oil droplets, especially the finer oil droplets, were collected as effluent. Oil separation efficiency was evaluated in terms of change in droplet size (D50) and oil concentration from influent to effluent. With increasing porosity and bed height, apart from porosity of 0.92, the separation efficiency increases. Increasing the bed heights at lower porosities does not improve the efficiency of the process. A combination of 0.98 porosity and a bed height of 30 mm provided the highest filtration performance in terms of oil separation efficiency and D50 droplet ratio. At 0.98 porosity, increasing the bed height from 10 mm to 30 mm resulted in a D50 droplet ratio of 0.25–0.14, representing a significant decrease in droplet size in the effluent and therefore an increase in oil separation efficiency from 91.3% to 99.63%.

Subjects: subject: Social psychology

description: An exploratory methods design was used to investigate the strategies used and barriers encountered as reported by middle school teachers when developing social responsibility with their students. Participating teachers (N=11) at three middle schools in one school district provided this information by filling out an open-ended questionnaire. Results were analyzed for common themes. As reported by the teachers, the top three strategies being used were classroom discussions, helping charitable or community groups and modelling of socially responsible behaviour by the teacher. The top three barriers reported by these teachers were student attitudes, parent attitudes, and time and resources. The findings of this study act as a resource for teachers who are motivated to develop socially responsible young adults and as a springboard for more indepth research into the use of social responsibility strategies in the classroom.

description: Various physical, chemical, and biological factors act as pollutants and cause deleterious effects on the environment and living organisms. Several researchers are developing eco-friendly good adsorbent from agriculture waste materials for pollutant removal, especially aromatic dyes and heavy metal removal. We used the Asian green mussel byssus thread, a natural mariculture waste product for the removal of aromatic dyes (methylene blue and eosin Y) and heavy metals (zinc, copper, iron, mercury and lead). We documented the dynamicity of byssus thread dye and metal removal at different pH (pH 2–10) and different concentrations. The highest amount of metal removal was observed at pH 6.0, and the dye removal efficacy is related to the property of the dye (i.e. anionic or cationic dye). The byssus thread had a natural fluorescent property upon UV-excitation; however, microscopic examination revealed that metal and dye coordination significantly alter the byssus plaque region’s physical and chemical property rather than the thread regions. It was further confirmed by using DSC and TGA characterization of de-metaled and metal-treated byssus thread complex. We concluded that Perna viridis byssus thread could be used as a strong adsorbent for dye and metal removal from the water.

CHEMOENZYMATIC APPROACHES TO THE PREPARATION OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS
Creators: name: DE MIERI, MARIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2010

description: Biologically active compounds are usually polyfunctional molecules bearing one or more stereocenters. Enzyme catalyzed transformations are well suitable for their preparation since they act in a very mild and selective manner. The study of three selected biocatalyzed transformations has been the aim of my PhD researches. The first project, regards the development of an advantageous and mild method to selectively transform the 24-hydroxyl function of ascomycin, a 23-membered macrolactam, bearing two secondary alcoholic moieties bounded at position 24 and 32 of its macrocycle. This selective protection is required to transform ascomycin into pimecrolimus, its 32-epi chlorine analogue, an immunomodulator useful for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. The advantage offered by enzymes, showed to be not only their ability to regioselective discriminate between the two secondary hydroxyl groups, but also, their chemoselectivity, i.e. the capacity to leave intact the other functional groups present in the structure of ascomycin. Among enzymes to screen for the desired transformation we selected lipases, taking into account their well know regioselectivity in the acylation of secondary alcohols and their efficiency to transform lipofilic compounds. The second topic regards the clopidogrel, a thienopyridine compound that inhibits platelet aggregation by selectively binding to adenylate cyclase-coupled ADP receptors. It is indicated for the reduction of atherosclerotic events. Its structure contains a stereocenter: since only the S(+) isomer is biologically active, the compound must be prepared in the enantiomerically pure form. Although it is known and used by several years, usually this target is achieved by means of time consuming and expensive fractional crystallization of the unnatural aminoacid easily recognizable in its structure, 2-chloro-phenylglycine. The aim of my work was to find an enzymatic approach to achieve the suitable resolution with a low cost and a good optical purity overcoming the disadvantages of fractional crystallization. Different kinds of hydrolases were screened on several amides and esters derivatives of 2-chloro-phenylglycine or of a more advanced intermediate of the preparation. The third project, realized in Canada at Universit� Laval, deals with the resolution of the enantiomers of erhytro-p-nitrophenylserine, a non proteogenic aminoacid bearing the opposite stereochemistry of the antibiotic chloramphenicol, the D(-)-threo-2-di-chloroacetamido-p-nitrophenylserinol. The obtained optically pure aminoacids, by means of penicillin acylase, after their reduction to aminoalcohols were then N-acylated with the proper chiral L-methioninesulfone. The diastereoisomeric amides were tested as inhibitors for amidotransferase, an enzyme absent in humans and present in some archea, organella and bacterials, and then an ideal target for new antibacterial compounds.

description: Causal terminology is often introduced in the interpretation of encoding and decoding models trained on neuroimaging data. In this article, we investigate which causal statements are warranted and which ones are not supported by empirical evidence. We argue that the distinction between encoding and decoding models is not sufficient for this purpose: relevant features in encoding and decoding models carry a different meaning in stimulus- and in response-based experimental paradigms. We show that only encoding models in the stimulus-based setting support unambiguous causal interpretations. By combining encoding and decoding models trained on the same data, however, we obtain insights into causal relations beyond those that are implied by each individual model type. We illustrate the empirical relevance of our theoretical findings on EEG data recorded during a visuo-motor learning task.

description: Abstract: Oral hygiene practices have evolved significantly over time, with traditional methods and modern approaches offering distinct advantages for maintaining oral health. This review provides a comparative analysis of Siddha oral hygiene practices and contemporary modern methods, focusing on their techniques, efficacy, safety, and consumer acceptance. Siddha oral hygiene practices include the use of herbal mouthwashes, oil pulling, and tooth powders such as Thiripala Chooranam and Padigara Neer. These methods rely on natural ingredients with antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. In contrast, modern oral hygiene practices involve commercial mouthwashes, fluoride toothpaste, and electric toothbrushes, which are supported by extensive clinical research demonstrating their effectiveness in plaque reduction and gingival health maintenance. The review highlights that while traditional Siddha practices have shown potential benefits, the scientific evidence is limited compared to the robust clinical data supporting modern products. Safety profiles differ, with traditional methods generally being well-tolerated, though they may pose risks for allergic reactions, whereas modern products can sometimes cause mucosal irritation or sensitivity. Consumer preferences are shifting towards natural solutions, but modern practices remain widely accepted due to their proven efficacy and convenience. The potential for integrating traditional Siddha techniques with modern practices is discussed, suggesting a holistic approach could enhance overall oral health. The review concludes with recommendations for future research to further investigate the synergistic effects of combining these approaches.

What's the matter with the Republican Party?: factionalism in party primaries, 1976-2000
Creators: name: Miller, Patrick Ryan.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas argues that social issues have become more important to lower income voters than economic issues, leading to a greater probability for them to vote against their own economic interests by voting for conservative candidates. This paper takes his much disputed theory and applies it to the Republican primary elections rather than general elections. Scholars have documented the presence of a conservative Republican wing associated with the religious right and a more moderate wing which emphasizes social issues less and distances itself from the religious right. My analysis connects this elite level dynamic to mass political behavior through an examination of county level election returns in presidential primaries from 1976 through 2000. When candidates from the two wings engage in a competitive national primary a pattern emerges that shows different demographic sources of support for the two factions.

description: In this paper, we present a catalogue of the spectra of bright stars observed during the sky survey using the Far-Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (FIMS), which was designed primarily to observe diffuse emissions. By carefully eliminating the contamination from the diffuse background, we obtain the spectra of 70 bright stars observed for the first time with a spectral resolution of 2--3 Å over the wavelength of 1370--1710 Å. The far-ultraviolet spectra of an additional 139 stars are also extracted with a better spectral resolution and/or higher reliability than those of the previous observations. The stellar spectral type of the stars presented in the catalogue spans from O9 to A3. The method of spectral extraction of the bright stars is validated by comparing the spectra of 323 stars with those of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) observations.

description: Context: One of the most prominent processes suggested to heat the corona to well above 10^6 K builds on nanoflares, short bursts of energy dissipation. Aims: We compare observations to model predictions to test the validity of the nanoflare process. Methods: Using extreme UV data from AIA/SDO and HMI/SDO line-of-sight magnetograms we study the spatial and temporal evolution of a set of loops in active region AR 11850. Results: We find a transient brightening of loops in emission from Fe xviii forming at about 7.2 MK while at the same time these loops dim in emission from lower temperatures. This points to a fast heating of the loop that goes along with evaporation of material that we observe as apparent upward motions in the image sequence. After this initial phases lasting for some 10 min, the loops brighten in a sequence of AIA channels showing cooler and cooler plasma, indicating the cooling of the loops over a time scale of about one hour. A comparison to the predictions from a 1D loop model shows that this observation supports the nanoflare process in (almost) all aspects. In addition, our observations show that the loops get broader while getting brighter, which cannot be understood in a 1D model.

description: Expanded vermiculite was used as an adsorbent to remove ammonia nitrogen from landfill leachate. Bench and pilot-scale adsorption experiments were performed with leachate collected from a closed sanitary landfill located in Curitiba, southern Brazil. At the bench-scale, two different heights of vermiculite and three different flow rates were tested using a fixed-bed column. These tests produced an average uptake capacity of 33.4 mg g-1 for the ammonia nitrogen concentration of 2,560 mg L-1. The Yan model was used to determine the breakthrough and the exhaustion times due to the best fit of the data to this model. At the pilot-scale, the flow rate was determined from the shortest length of the mass transfer zone obtained from bench-scale experiments. Tests were performed using one stainless-steel column filled with 26.2 kg of expanded vermiculite, which resulted in a bed height of 1.6 m. A leachate flow rate of approximately 350 L d-1 was applied to achieve the required contact time of 8.3 h. At this scale, an average uptake capacity of 18.1 mg g-1 was obtained for the ammonia nitrogen concentration of 1,193 mg L-1. It is worth mentioning that the flow rate and the concentration of the adsorbate in the feeding solution are fundamental to improve the operational time of the fixed-bed column. The main goal of this research was the determination of operating conditions to scale-up the adsorption process of ammonia nitrogen onto expanded vermiculite. The contact time was a key parameter to reach this goal.

description: Recent research has shown that political actors strategically conceal their ideological position and gain electoral benefits by presenting themselves as if they were closer to the voter. Ideological ambiguity may seem like a rewarding strategy, but there are clear limits. In this project, we explore the limits of ambiguity and argue that voters make a value judgment on the party’s signal based on its ideological distinctiveness. Our theory is based on the desire of parties to offer ideological positions that are clearly distinguishable from neighboring parties. With the use of Comparative Study of Election Systems (CSES) data, we provide clear evidence that voters’ perceived distance to parties and their willingness to vote for the party are conditioned by both ambiguity and ideological distinctiveness. Indeed, too much ideological overlap in the voters’ perceptions of parties’ positions dampens the potential rewards from strategic ambiguity. We also provide the first evidence that voters reject parties whose ideologies cannot be distinguished from those of rival parties. Our research offers answers to recent dilemmas related to responsible party government, party messaging, and the diffusion of campaign strategies.

description: Inhibitory circuits of relaxation oscillators are often-used models for the dynamics of biological networks. We present a qualitative and quantitative stability analysis of such a circuit constituted by three reciprocally coupled oscillators of a Fitzhugh-Nagumo type as nodes. Depending on inhibitory strengths, and parameters of individual oscillators, the circuit exhibits polyrhythmicity of up to five simultaneously stable rhythms. With methods of bifurcation analysis and phase reduction, we investigate qualitative changes in stability of these circuit rhythms for a wide range of parameters. Furthermore, we quantify how robustly rhythms are maintained under random perturbations by monitoring phase diffusion in the circuit. Our findings allow us to describe how circuit dynamics relate to dynamics of individual nodes. We also find that quantitative and qualitative stability of polyrhythmicity do not always align.

description: Keratinous biomass valorization for value-added products presents a high prospect in ecological management and the advancement of the bio-economy. Consequently, soil samples from the poultry dumpsite were collected. The bacteria isolated on the basal salt medium were screened for keratinolytic activity. The potent chicken feathers degrading bacteria were identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Fermentation process conditions were optimized, and the amino acid compositions of the feather hydrolysate were likewise quantified. Ten (10) proteolytic bacteria evaluated on skimmed milk agar showed intact chicken feather degradation ranging from 33% (WDS-03) to 88% (FPS-09). The extracellular keratinase activity ranged from 224.52 ± 42.46 U/mL (WDS-03) to 834.55 ± 66.86 U/mL (FPS-07). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the most potent keratinolytic isolates coded as FPS-07, FPS-09, FPS-01, and WDS-06 were identified as Chryseobacterium aquifrigidense FANN1, Chryseobacterium aquifrigidense FANN2, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ANNb, and Bacillus sp. ANNa, respectively. C aquifrigidense FANN2 maximally produced keratinase (1460.90 ± 26.99 U/mL) at 72 h of incubation under optimal process conditions of pH (6), inoculum side (5%; v/v), temperature (30°C), and chicken feather (25 g/L). The feather hydrolysate showed a protein value of 67.54%, with a relative abundance of arginine (2.84%), serine (3.14%), aspartic acid (3.33%), glutamic acid (3.73%), and glycine (2.81%). C. aquifrigidense FANN2 yielded high keratinase titre and dismembered chicken feathers into amino acids-rich hydrolysate, highlighting its significance in the beneficiation of recalcitrant keratinous wastes into dietary proteins as potential livestock feed supplements.

description: We study analytically a simple random walk model on a one-dimensional lattice, where at each time step the walker resets to the maximum of the already visited positions (to the rightmost visited site) with a probability $r$, and with probability $(1-r)$, it undergoes symmetric random walk, i.e., it hops to one of its neighboring sites, with equal probability $(1-r)/2$. For $r=0$, it reduces to a standard random walk whose typical distance grows as $\sqrt{n}$ for large $n$. In presence of a nonzero resetting rate $0

An Examination of the Relationship Between End of Season Conference Rankings and the Bowl Game Selection Process in the Atlantic Coast Conference
Creators: name: Humphries, Sarah S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between the end of season conference rankings of football teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the bowl selection process over a five year period from the 2004-2005 season through the 2008-2009 season. The study examined the relationship between the end of season conference ranking of each season and bowl game attendance as a percentage of stadium capacity, bowl game payout, and bowl game television ratings. A Spearman Rank Order Correlation, a non-parametric measure of correlation was used to examine the correlation between the end of season conference ranking and the additional variables. The results indicated that there was a pattern of significance in the correlation between the end of season conference ranking and bowl game payout. In the ACC, where participation in a bowl game can have a meaningful impact on a team, it would appear that there is a relationship between the end of season conference ranking and the examined variables. When based on bowl game payout, the conference has been successful over the last five years in their bowl selection process.
