description: We investigate the effect of averaging inhomogeneities on expansion and large-scale structure growth observables using the exact and covariant framework of Macroscopic Gravity (MG). It is well-known that applying the Einstein's equations and spatial averaging do not commute and lead to the averaging problem. For the MG formalism applied to the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, this gives an extra dynamical term encapsulated as an averaging density parameter denoted $Ω_A$. An exact isotropic cosmological solution of MG for the flat FLRW metric is already known in the literature, we derive here an anisotropic exact solution. Using the isotropic solution, we compare the expansion history to current data of distances to supernovae, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations, CMB last scattering surface, and Hubble constant measurements, and find $-0.05 \le Ω_A \le 0.07$ (at the 95% CL). For the flat metric case this reduces to $-0.03 \le Ω_A \le 0.05$. We also find that the inclusion of this term in the fits can shift the values of the usual cosmological parameters by a few to several percents. Next, we derive an equation for the growth rate of large scale structure in MG that includes a term due to the averaging and compare it to that of the LCDM concordance model. We find that an $Ω_A$ of an amplitude range within the bounds above leads to a relative deviation of the growth from that of the LCDM of up to 2-4% at late times. Thus, the shift in the growth could be of comparable amplitude to that caused by similar changes in cosmological parameters like the dark energy density parameter or its equation of state. The effect could also be comparable in amplitude to some systematic effects considered for future surveys. This indicates that the averaging term and its possible effect need to be tightly constrained in future precision cosmological studies. (Abridged)

description: Overconsumption of fat is considered a major driver of the prevalence of obesity globally. While fat type and emulsification have been suggested to play roles in appetite control, very limited data exist. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of type and emulsification of fat on postprandial appetite responses. Sixteen healthy subjects participated in a 4-arm, randomised, crossover study. The net iAUC of hunger visual analogue scales (VAS) (mean ± SE) was observed higher with emulsified fat (−512 ± 137 cm × 300 min) than with non-emulsified fat (−785 ± 133 cm × 300 min) (p < 0.05), but the difference became insignificant over time. Compared to olive oil, coconut oil resulted in higher fullness VAS iAUC (olive oil: 1369 ± 306 cm × 600 min; coconut oil: 1786 ± 311 cm × 600 mi, p < 0.05). Findings from this study support the potential effects of fat in appetite regulation.
Leaning in to Shared Positive Emotions: Does Prioritizing Positivity Boost Positivity Resonance with Weak Social Ties?
Creators: name: Gray, Alexandra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Prioritizing positivity is an individual difference variable that is positively associated with flourishing mental health, yet less understood are the processes that underlie this link. Theory suggests that positivity resonance with weak ties offers moments of positive social connection that produce positive emotions to promote flourishing mental health. It is possible that prioritizing positivity increases as additional experiences of positive emotions encourage individuals to lean in to future opportunities to experience more positive emotions. We hypothesized that positivity resonance with strangers is a mediator between increased prioritizing positivity and flourishing mental health. Participants (N = 349) were surveyed at two time points seven weeks apart, completed nightly reports for up to 35 days, and had an interaction with a stranger (i.e., the examiner) during an in-lab visit that was later coded for positivity resonance. We sought to apply the newly developed Behavioral Indicators of Positivity Resonance (BIPR) coding system to measure positivity resonance between strangers, but with little evidence of validity and null results, we used self-reported positivity resonance with weak ties from the 35 nightly reports. Additionally, prioritizing positivity did not increase over the course of the study, prompting us to conduct exploratory analyses in which the association between prioritizing positivity (T1) and flourishing mental health (T2) was partially mediated by self-reported perceived positivity resonance with weak ties. These findings indicate that high-quality positive social connection with weak ties is a fruitful avenue for boosting positive emotions with implications for flourishing.

description: Investigation of divisibility properties of natural numbers is one of the most important themes in the theory of numbers. Various tools have been developed over the centuries to discover and study the various patterns in the sequence of natural numbers in the context of divisibility. In the present paper, we study the divisibility of natural numbers using the framework of a growing complex network. In particular, using tools from the field of statistical inference, we show that the network is scale-free but has a non-stationary degree distribution. Along with this, we report a new kind of similarity pattern for the local clustering, which we call "stretching similarity", in this network. We also show that the various characteristics like average degree, global clustering coefficient and assortativity coefficient of the network vary smoothly with the size of the network. Using analytical arguments we estimate the asymptotic behavior of global clustering and average degree which is validated using numerical analysis.

description: Taxifolin (dihydroquercetin), which has various pharmacological functions, is contained in edible plants. Some taxifolin-containing foodstuffs such as adzuki bean and sorghum seeds are cooked by themselves and with other starch-containing ingredients. In this study, non-glutinous rice flour (joshin-ko) and potato starch were heated with taxifolin. The heating resulted in the slowdown of pancreatin-induced hydrolysis of suspendable starch in joshin-ko and soluble starch in potato starch. The products of taxifolin formed by the heating such as quercetin were combined with starch during the heating and/or retrogradation, which was converted into the suspendable starch in joshin-ko and the soluble starch in the potato. Taking the difference in protein content and amylose chain length between joshin-ko and potato starch into account, the slowdown is discussed to be due to the binding of the reaction products of taxifolin to proteins in suspendable starch in joshin-ko and to soluble amylose in potato starch.

description: Thousands of unfixed transposable element (TE) insertions segregate in the human population, but little is known about their impact on genome function. Recently, a few studies associated unfixed TE insertions to mRNA levels of adjacent genes, but the biological significance of these associations, their replicability across cell types and the mechanisms by which they may regulate genes remain largely unknown. Here, we performed a TE-expression QTL analysis of 444 lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) and 289 induced pluripotent stem cells using a newly developed set of genotypes for 2743 polymorphic TE insertions. We identified 211 and 176 TE-eQTL acting in cis in each respective cell type. Approximately 18% were shared across cell types with strongly correlated effects. Furthermore, analysis of chromatin accessibility QTL in a subset of the LCL suggests that unfixed TEs often modulate the activity of enhancers and other distal regulatory DNA elements, which tend to lose accessibility when a TE inserts within them. We also document a case of an unfixed TE likely influencing gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Our study points to broad and diverse cis-regulatory effects of unfixed TEs in the human population and underscores their plausible contribution to phenotypic variation. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Crossroads between transposons and gene regulation’.

Water Affordability Disparities in North Carolina
Creators: name: Holdsclaw, Abigail
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This thesis examines disparities in water affordability in North Carolina by racial and ethnic groups via a quantitative analysis of a nine-year water provider-level, panel data set. I utilize regression analyses to answer the question “after controlling for demographic and financial characteristics and year fixed-effects, what is the relationship between minority presence and water bill prices in North Carolina?” This analysis is motivated by the United States’ water affordability crisis and its documented disproportionate impact on non-white communities. Given that there are no federal nor state protections from water shutoffs, possible affordability disparities mean that racial and/or ethnic minority North Carolinians are at greater risk of losing access to water.

From my regression models, I observe that one percentage point increases in a county’s Black population increases the cost of both water and wastewater bills, while one percentage point increase in a county’s Latine  residents decreases the price of water and wastewater bills, with the disparity being greater for wastewater bills. These results indicate that Black North Carolinians face disproportionate water affordability challenges due to systemic inequalities in wastewater infrastructure quality. These affordability disparities are augmented by Black North Carolinians’ disproportionately lower median incomes, increasing water affordability challenges for these individuals. These findings motivate the need for shut-off protections, targeted affordability assistance, and infrastructure investment.

description: We propose new large field inflation scenarios built on the framework of F-term axion monodromy. Our setup is based on string compactifications where D-branes create potentials for closed string axions via F-terms. Because the source of the axion potential is different from the standard sources of moduli stabilisation, it is possible to lower the inflaton mass as compared to other massive scalars. We discuss a particular class of models based on type IIA flux compactifications with D6-branes. In the small field regime they describe supergravity models of quadratic chaotic inflation with a stabiliser field. In the large field regime the inflaton potential displays a flattening effect due to Planck suppressed corrections, allowing to easily fit the cosmological parameters of the model within current experimental bounds.

description: In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a silencing mechanism relying on the production of 24-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by RNA POLYMERASE IV (Pol IV) to trigger methylation and inactivation of transposable elements (TEs). We present the construction and characterization of osnrpd1, a knock-down RNA interference line of OsNRPD1 gene that encodes the largest subunit of Pol IV in rice (Oryza sativa ssp japonica cv Nipponbare). We show that osnrpd1 displays a lower accumulation of OsNRPD1 transcripts, associated with an overall reduction of 24-nt siRNAs and DNA methylation level in all three contexts, CG, CHG and CHH. We uncovered new insertions of known active TEs, the LTR retrotransposons Tos17 and Lullaby and the long interspersed nuclear element-type retrotransposon Karma. However, we did not observe any clear developmental phenotype, contrary to what was expected for a mutant severely affected in RdDM. In addition, despite the presence of many putatively functional TEs in the rice genome, we found no evidence of in planta global reactivation of transposition. This knock-down of OsNRPD1 likely led to a weakly affected line, with no effect on development and a limited effect on transposition. We discuss the possibility that a knock-out mutation of OsNRPD1 would cause sterility in rice.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue ‘Crossroads between transposons and gene regulation’.

Rebel Retellings: Jamaica Kincaid’s The Autobiography of My Mother and Lucy as Postcolonial Retellings of Jane Eyre
Creators: name: Holden, Sage
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre (1847) is suffused with scenes of anger, violence, and rebellion. From the time of its publishing, Jane’s rebellious nature intrigued readers and enraged critics, all while criticizing the oppressiveness of the gender and class structures that affect Jane’s story. However, Brontë’s novel contains the inherent colonial biases established in nineteenth-century race rhetoric, excluding nuanced discussion of race in favor of invoking racial stereotypes. As postcolonial retellings of Brontë’s novel, Jamaica Kincaid’s The Autobiography of My Mother (1996) and Lucy (1990) maintain the sense of rebellion that is inseparable from Jane Eyre while adding their own imperative commentary on the racial, gender, and class structures in their colonial-ruled Caribbean societies. Jamaica Kincaid’s own affinity with Jane Eyre’s rebellion indicates the important influence of Jane’s rebellion on Kincaid’s two novels. Both The Autobiography of My Mother and Lucy provide complex understandings and critiques of colonialism, sexism, and classism, and maintain the rebelliousness that drives Jane Eyre: thus, Jamaica Kincaid’s The Autobiography of My Mother and Lucy serve as postcolonial “rebel retellings” of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre.

Mammary Tumor Microenvironment Reprogramming in Response to Pyruvate Carboxylase Modulation
Creators: name: Pfeil, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Breast cancer is the deadliest cancer amongst women globally, with metastatic breast cancer being particularly deadly. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate for anaplerotic refilling of TCA cycle intermediates, feeding numerous energetic and biosynthetic pathways. Upregulation of PC is an important contributor to metabolic reprogramming and aggressiveness in metastatic breast cancer. Less understood, however, is the effects of PC expression on metabolic reprogramming and the TME in primary tumors. In this study, we investigate whether suppression of PC alters metabolism and drives microenvironmental adaptation in a primary tumor model of breast cancer. PC knockdown resulted in increased lactate production with a decrease in mitochondrial respiration, suggesting that diminished PC-mediated anaplerosis alters carbon utilization and contributes to metabolic reprogramming. Suppression of PC also resulted in tumors with distinct transcriptomic profiles versus control, with signatures of immune responses diminished in response to loss of PC. As lactate is a profound immunosuppressive signaling molecule in the TME, it may be a driver of TME immunosuppression in response to PC suppression. We conclude that PC knockdown promotes a metabolically altered tumor microenvironment associated with immunosuppression and tumor growth.

description: This paper reports the results of Suzaku observation of the spectral variation of the black hole binary LMCX-1 in the soft state. The observationwas carried out in 2009 from July 21 to 24. the obtained net count rate was $\sim$30 counts s$^{-1}$ in the 0.5--50 keV band with $\sim$10% peak-to-peak flux variation. The time-averaged X-ray spectrum cannot be described by a multi-color disk and single Compton component with its reflection, but requires additional Comptonized emissions. This double Compton component model allows a slightly larger inner radius of the multi-color disk, implying a lower spin parameter. Significant spectral evolution was observed above 8 keV along with a flux decrease on a timescale of $\sim$10$^4$--10$^5$ s. By spectral fitting, we show that this behavior is well explained by changes in the hard Comptonized emission component in contrast to the maintained disk and soft Comptonized emission.

The demonstration was under taken on single plot of 10 m x 10 m area for each variety with the spacing of 20 cm between rows and recommended seed rate of 150 kg ha-1 and fertilizer rate of 100 qt ha-1 NPS. Mini-field day involving different stakeholders was organized at each respective site. Yield data per plot was recorded and analysed using descriptive statistics, while farmers’ preference to the demonstrated varieties was identified using focused group discussion and summarized using pair wise and simple ranking methods. The demonstration result revealed that Haydaro variety performed better than the standard check of Sinana 01 variety with an average yield of 33.5 qt ha-1, while that of the standard check was 27.2 qt ha-1. Haydaro variety had 23.16% yield advantage over the standard check. The farmers in all districts selected this variety. Thus, Haydaro variety was recommended for further scaling up in the selected area.

description: Represented as graphs, real networks are intricate combinations of order and disorder. Fixing some of the structural properties of network models to their values observed in real networks, many other properties appear as statistical consequences of these fixed observables, plus randomness in other respects. Here we employ the $dk$-series, a complete set of basic characteristics of the network structure, to study the statistical dependencies between different network properties. We consider six real networks---the Internet, US airport network, human protein interactions, technosocial web of trust, English word network, and an fMRI map of the human brain---and find that many important local and global structural properties of these networks are closely reproduced by $dk$-random graphs whose degree distributions, degree correlations, and clustering are as in the corresponding real network. We discuss important conceptual, methodological, and practical implications of this evaluation of network randomness, and release software to generate $dk$-random graphs.

description: The primary scientific goals of this work are: (1) to understand the structure and role of the turbulent boundary layer (BL) in the tropical cyclone (TC) lifecycle with a focus on the rapid intensification (RI) process and (2) to estimate free parameters in turbulence parameterization schemes used in numerical models and evaluate their impacts on forecasts of TC RI. This work will analyze new radar remote sensing measurements in the TC BL from the Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (IWRAP) on the NOAA P3 aircraft. New algorithms and processing of IWRAP data allows the characterization of radar reflectivity and three-dimensional (3D) winds (zonal, meridional, and vertical components) over nearly the full depth of the TC BL at 125 m/30 m grid spacing in the horizontal/vertical dimensions. Excellent quality data from IWRAP during the 2019 and 2020 hurricane seasons are available for several notable storms including: Hurricane Dorian (2019), Hurricane Laura (2020), Hurricane Teddy (2020), Hurricane Delta (2020) and others. The focus of the IWRAP data analysis is on characterizing the kinematics of coherent turbulent structures (CTSs) in the TC BL across a range of storm intensities and intensity trends. These structures are believed to play an important role in the nonlinear dynamics of the TC BL and the larger scale vortex through the cycling of enthalpy, momentum and kinetic energy. The collection of IWRAP data described above will allow a comprehensive study of CTSs in the TC BL including analysis of (1) the circulation patterns associated with the CTSs and (2) the turbulent fluxes of momentum from flight level down into the surface layer. Furthermore, to improve mesoscale numerical models and to evaluate large eddy simulations, this work will estimate free parameters used in turbulence and BL parameterization schemes using the IWRAP data. These free parameters will be examined as a function of radius, azimuth, height, storm intensity and intensity trend.

description: Phenolic catabolites excreted by fasting subjects with a functioning colon and ileostomists on a low (poly)phenol diet have been investigated. Urine was collected over a 12 h fasting period after adherence to a low (poly)phenol diet for 36 h. UHPLC-HR-MS quantified 77 phenolics. Some were present in the urine of both groups in similar trace amounts and others were excreted in higher amounts by participants with a colon indicating the involvement of the microbiota. Most were present in sub- or low-µmol amounts, but hippuric acid dominated accounting on average for 60% of the total for both volunteer categories indicating significant production from sources other than non-nutrient dietary (poly)phenols. The potential origins of the phenolics associated with the low (poly)phenol diet, include endogenous catecholamines, surplus tyrosine and phenylalanine, and washout of catabolites derived from pre-study intakes of non-nutrient dietary (poly)phenols.

description: In plants, RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a silencing mechanism relying on the production of 24-nt small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by RNA POLYMERASE IV (Pol IV) to trigger methylation and inactivation of transposable elements (TEs). We present the construction and characterization of osnrpd1, a knock-down RNA interference line of OsNRPD1 gene that encodes the largest subunit of Pol IV in rice (Oryza sativa ssp japonica cv Nipponbare). We show that osnrpd1 displays a lower accumulation of OsNRPD1 transcripts, associated with an overall reduction of 24-nt siRNAs and DNA methylation level in all three contexts, CG, CHG and CHH. We uncovered new insertions of known active TEs, the LTR retrotransposons Tos17 and Lullaby and the long interspersed nuclear element-type retrotransposon Karma. However, we did not observe any clear developmental phenotype, contrary to what was expected for a mutant severely affected in RdDM. In addition, despite the presence of many putatively functional TEs in the rice genome, we found no evidence of in planta global reactivation of transposition. This knock-down of OsNRPD1 likely led to a weakly affected line, with no effect on development and a limited effect on transposition. We discuss the possibility that a knock-out mutation of OsNRPD1 would cause sterility in rice.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue ‘Crossroads between transposons and gene regulation’.
Lagrangian aspects of the axisymmetric Euler equation

description: In this paper we are interested in geometric aspects of blowup in the axisymmetric 3D Euler equations with swirl on a cylinder. Writing the equations in Lagrangian form for the flow derivative along either the axis or the boundary and imposing oddness on the vertical component of the flow, we extend some blowup criteria due to Chae, Constantin, and Wu related to assumptions on the sign of the pressure Hessian. In addition we give a geometric interpretation of the results, both in terms of the local geometry along trajectories and in terms of the Riemannian geometry of the volume-preserving diffeomorphism group.

Investigating Options Pricing via Black-Scholes Volatility Parameter Innovations
Creators: name: White, T. Morgan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This paper seeks to measure the ability of volatility innovations to improve options-pricing within a Black-Scholes framework. In pursuit of this, market price and options data are compiled from June 21, 2018 to October 23, 2018, as that is what was available. Market data includes Trade-and-Quote (TAQ) data detailing all trades that occurred on all of those dates, by the second, for SPY. Options data includes European calls and puts with strikes from 2000 to 3500 that all expired June 21, 2019. That options data also includes Black-Scholes implied volatilities (IV) for each contract. Then, OLS models are constructed using complex measures of volatility and other covariates to estimate these IV’s, because they are bijective with their corresponding options prices. Moreover, other relationships are explored, such as that between moneyness and implied volatility, generic goodness-of-fit, and the performance of these models in different volatility environments. In summary, put options are more accurately predicted in this sample, moneyness is an indispensable component to these particular models, and they appear to perform better in moderate volatility contexts. Since capturing local variation is the purpose of comprehensive volatility modeling, r-squared’s use is merely cautionary and should not be heavily relied upon. Further research is necessary to draw definitive conclusions.
