The Georgia-Abkhazia conflict: critical factors shaping the present stalemate
Creators: name: Beaulieu, Kyle Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: On August 7th, 2008, Georgia attempted to militarily reassert control over South Ossetia, one of its separatist republics, thus provoking a massive Russian invasion and Georgia's rapid defeat. Russia used the opportunity provided by the Georgian provocation to consolidate its hold over Georgia's two breakaway regions, ultimately recognizing them as legitimate, sovereign states, and thus increasing its power and influence in the region. The West was left reeling, unable to stop Russia or persuade the separatist republics to reconsider federation; the conflict in Georgia has shelved any hopes of a peaceful solution that respected Georgia's "territorial integrity." This conflict was neither random nor inevitable; rather, this thesis will argue that it was the result of a history of oppression by both Georgian and Abkhaz of the other, weak and corrupt states in Georgia and Abkhazia, the purposeful Russian destabilization of the region, and a significant refugee and demographic problem. This thesis will examine the impact that these factors have had on shaping the conflict situation, and it will seek to gain a better understanding of this suddenly unfrozen conflict, in the hope of successfully dealing with other conflicts in the former Soviet sphere before they erupt into war.

description: In the current analysis plan, we propose to explore associations of the maternal metabolome quantified by an untargeted mass spectrometry platform (~1,000 known metabolites) and the risk of CHDs in the offspring. This could help us identify important biological pathways associated with CHDs and improve our understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of the condition(s). We will also look for genetic evidence to support the observational data.

description: Statistical models are essential to get a better understanding of the role of disorder in brittle disordered solids. Fiber bundle models play a special role as a paradigm, with a very good balance of simplicity and non-trivial effects. We introduce here a variant of the fiber bundle model where the load is transferred among the fibers through a very compliant membrane. This Soft Membrane fiber bundle mode reduces to the classical Local Load Sharing fiber bundle model in 1D. Highlighting the continuum limit of the model allows to compute an equivalent toughness for the fiber bundle and hence discuss nucleation of a critical defect. The computation of the toughness allows for drawing a simple connection with crack front propagation (depinning) models.

description: Controlling the dissociation of single water molecule on an insulating surface plays a crucial role in many catalytic reactions. In this Letter, we have identified the enhanced chemical reactivity of ultrathin MgO(100) films deposited on Mo(100) substrate that causes water dissociation. We reveal that the ability to split water on insulating surface closely depends on the lattice mismatch between ultrathin films and the underlying substrate, and substrate-induced in-plane tensile strain dramatically results in water dissociation on MgO(100). Three dissociative adsorption configurations of water with lower energy are predicted, and the structural transition going from molecular form to dissociative form is almost barrierless. Our results provide an effective avenue to achieve water dissociation at the single-molecule level and shed light on how to tune the chemical reactions of insulating surfaces by choosing the suitable substrates.

description: We show a Kalton-Weis type theorem for the general case of non-commuting operators. More precisely, we consider sums of two possibly non-commuting linear operators defined in a Banach space such that one of the operators admits a bounded $H^\infty$-calculus, the resolvent of the other one satisfies some weaker boundedness condition and the commutator of their resolvents has certain decay behavior with respect to the spectral parameters. Under this consideration, we show that the sum is closed and that after a sufficiently large positive shift it becomes invertible, and moreover sectorial. As an application we recover a classical result on the existence, uniqueness and maximal $L^{p}$-regularity for solutions of the abstract linear non-autonomous parabolic problem.

Colon Cancer Diagnosis Using NMR Spectra of Urine
Creators: name: Medford, Hannah T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in people, and early diagnosis is critical to survival. This study investigates the efficacy of using metabolomic technology in diagnosing colon cancer in a mouse model. Urine from a genetically defined population of mice was analyzed by NMR spectrometry, after carcinogen exposure and categorization for tumor development based on histological examination. The NMR spectra were then analyzed by statistical methods of classification to determine if colon tumors result in changes to the metabolites secreted in urine that can be detected by NMR spectrometry. Different statistical analyses were also compared to determine which is most effective at retrieving information from the NMR data. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), a popular analysis for metabolomic data, is ineffective on this data set. Support Vector Machine (SVM) reveals six significant components, which when entered into PCA results in clear separation of normal and tumor-bearing mice.
Electronic structures of doped BaFe$_2$As$_2$ materials: virtual crystal approximation versus super-cell approach

description: Employing virtual crystal approximation and super-cell methods for doping, we have performed a comparative study of the electronic structures of various doped BaFe$_2$As$_2$ materials by first principles simulations. Both of these methods give rise to a similar density of states and band structures in case of hole doping (K doping in Ba site) and iso-electronic P doping in As site. But in case of electron doped systems with higher doping concentration, electronic structures, calculated using virtual crystal approximation approach deviates from that of the super-cell method. On the other hand in case of iso-electronic Ru doping implemented by virtual crystal approximation, an extra shift of the chemical potential in electronic structure in comparison to super-cell method is observed and that shift can be used to predict the correct electronic structure within virtual crystal approximation as reflected in our calculated Fermi surfaces. But for higher Ru doping concentration, simple shifting of chemical potential does not work as the electronic structure calculated by virtual crystal approximation approach is entirely different from that of the calculated by super-cell formalism.

description: Reinigungsmaschinen zur Textilreinigung, arbeiten mit Lösemitteln (LM). Wichtige Reinigungsmedien sind einfache und chlorierte Kohlenwasserstoffe, meistens C2CL4, Handelsname Tetrachlorethen (TCE). Um den Austritt vergaster Anteile der Lösemittel, vor allem bei Verwendung von TCE, ent-sprechend der 2. BIMSCH zu verhindern, wird die Abluft über Aktivkohlefilter geleitet. Umweltprobleme entstehen bei der Desorption dieser Aktivkohle, da sie in Reinigungsmaschinen allgemein mittels Dampf erfolgt. Die Folge ist, dass das Adsorbat nach der Desorption als Wasser-Lösemittelgemisch vorliegt. Dies bedingt vor allem bei Verwendung von TCE weitere, aufwendige Trennverfahren entsprechend den gesetzlichen Vorschriften, um das mit TCE belastete Kontaktwasser soweit zu reinigen, dass es abgeleitet werden kann. Zur Separation muss erneut Aktivkohle eingesetzt werden, sodass praktisch eine Endlosschleife von Adsorption ↔ Desorption mit hyperbolischem Verlauf der LM-Anteile entsteht. Ein zusätzlicher Energieverbrauch entsteht dadurch, dass die Aktivkohle nach jeder Dampf-Desorption mit Heißluft getrocknet werden muss. Dem Vorhaben liegt die Idee zugrunde, die Vermischung von Lösemitteln, insbesondere von TCE, mit Wasser als Folge der Desorption von Aktivkohle-Filtern dadurch zu vermeiden, dass die Desorption nicht mehr mit Wasserdampf sondern durch eine indirekte Beheizung oder mit Heißluft erfolgt. Nur dann kann die Vermischung des Adsorbens mit Wasserdampf bzw. Wasser und die Entsorgung des entstehenden Kontaktwassers vermieden werden. Dazu wurde ein geeigneter Filterbehälter entwickelt, bei dem die erforderliche Heizenergie durch Heißluft aufgebracht wird. Das bei der Desorption austretende LM-Gas wird abgesaugt, in dem ohnehin in jeder Reinigungsmaschine vorhandenen Kondensator verflüssigt und dem LM-Tank der Reinigungsmaschine zugeführt. Da die Trocknung der Aktivkohle dadurch entfällt, wird zusätzlich eine Energieeinsparung von etwa 40% er-reicht. Eine weitere Energieeinsparung wurde dadurch erzielt, dass die Desorption nicht automatisch nach jedem Reinigungsprozess, sondern nur nach Bedarf je TCE-Gehalt des Reingases eingeleitet wird.

description: We prove that the group algebra $KG$ of a group $G$ over a field $K$ is primitive, provided that $G$ has a free subgroup with the same cardinality as $G$, and that $G$ satisfies the following condition $(\ast)$: for each subset $M$ of $G$ consisting of a finite number of elements not equal to $1$, and for any positive integer $m$, there exist distinct $a$, $b$, and $c$ in $G$ so that if $(x_{1}^{-1}g_1x_{1}) \cdots (x_{m}^{-1}g_mx_{m})=1$, where $g_i$ is in $M$ and $x_i$ is equal to $a$, $b$, or $c$ for all $i$ between $1$ and $m$, then $x_{i}=x_{i+1}$ for some $i$. This generalizes results of \cite{Bal}, \cite{For}, \cite{Ni07}, and \cite{Ni11}, and proves that, for every countably infinite group $G$ satisfying $(\ast)$, $KG$ is primitive for any field $K$. We use this result to determine the primitivity of group algebras of one relator groups with torsion.

Nach der Nutzung im Prozess wird das Schutzgas typischer Weise in die Atmosphäre abgegeben. Im Rahmen des Vorhabens soll eine innovative Anlage entwickelt werden, die das Schutzgas so aufbereitet, dass es wieder Einsatzqualität erhält. Bei einer erfolgreichen Entwicklung würden weniger, bisher ungereinigte, Gase in die Umwelt gelangen und es würde eine Energieeinsparung durch die reduzierte Frischgasherstellung erreicht. Somit wird die Gesamt-C02-Bilanz des Herstellungsprozesses verbessert
"It wasn't slavery time anymore": foodworkers' strike at Chapel Hill, spring 1969
Creators: name: Williams, J. Derek

description: Intolerable working conditions provoked UNC cafeteria workers--most of them black women--to walk off their jobs. Although unprecedented, the strike came at a time and place that were already ripe for confrontation over labor, racial, and student issues. With negotiations at an impasse, scuffles between student strike supporters and opponents prompted campus administrators to close Lenoir Dining Hall. At the insistence of North Carolina's governor, Lenoir was reopened under guard of the state
patrol, thereby invigorating debate about academic freedom and the university's political integrity. Later, the governor forced the evacuation of the building which strike supporters occupied. The four-week strike ended when, after extraordinary procedures, state employees throughout North Carolina received a twenty-cent increase in the minimum wage. This study surveys conditions prior to the walkout, outlines strike events chronologically, and assesses the assumptions and strategies of participants.

The incompatibility conditions and Bianchi identities are derived and discussed. The Eshelby stress tensor (static energy momentum) is calculated for such inhomogeneous media with microstructure. Its divergence gives the driving forces for dislocations, disclinations, point defects and inhomogeneities which are called configurational forces.

description: We study the random field $p$-spin model with Ising spins on a fully connected graph using the theory of large deviations in this paper. This is a good model to study the effect of quenched random field on systems which have a sharp first order transition in the pure state. For $p=2$, the phase-diagram of the model, for bimodal distribution of the random field, has been well studied and is known to undergo a continuous transition for lower values of the random field ($h$) and a first order transition beyond a threshold, $h_{tp}(\approx 0.439)$. We find the phase diagram of the model, for all $p \ge 2$, with bimodal random field distribution, using large deviation techniques. We also look at the fluctuations in the system by calculating the magnetic susceptibility. For $p=2$, beyond the tri-critical point in the regime of first order transition, we find that for $h_{tp}h_o=1/p!$), the system does not show ferromagnetic order even at zero temperature. We find that the magnetic susceptibility for $p \ge 3$ is discontinuous at the transition point for $h

description: $\mathbb{Z}_d$ Parafermions are exotic non-Abelian quasiparticles generalizing Majorana fermions, which correspond to the case $d=2$. In contrast to Majorana fermions, braiding of parafermions with $d>2$ allows to perform an entangling gate. This has spurred interest in parafermions and a variety of condensed matter systems have been proposed as potential hosts for them. In this work, we study the computational power of braiding parafermions more systematically. We make no assumptions on the underlying physical model but derive all our results from the algebraical relations that define parafermions. We find a familiy of $2d$ representations of the braid group that are compatible with these relations. The braiding operators derived this way reproduce those derived previously from physical grounds as special cases. We show that if a $d$-level qudit is encoded in the fusion space of four parafermions, braiding of these four parafermions allows to generate the entire single-qudit Clifford group (up to phases), for any $d$. If $d$ is odd, then we show that in fact the entire many-qudit Clifford group can be generated.

description: Layered topological insulators, for example, Bi$_2$Se$_3$ are optically hyperbolic materials in a range of THz frequencies. Such materials possess deeply subdiffractional, highly directional collective modes: hyperbolic phonon-polaritons. In thin crystals the dispersion of such modes is split into discrete subbands and is strongly influenced by electron surface states. If the surface states are doped, then hybrid collective modes result from coupling of the phonon-polaritons with surface plasmons. The strength of the hybridization can be controlled by an external gate that varies the chemical potential of the surface states. Momentum-dependence of the plasmon-phonon coupling leads to a polaritonic analog of the Goos-Hänchen effect. Directionality of the polaritonic rays and their tunable Goos-Hänchen shift are observable via THz nanoimaging.

description: We demonstrate how the technique of ultrafast resonant x-ray scattering can be applied to imaging dynamics of electronic wave packets in crystals. We study scattering patterns from crystals with electron dynamics in valence bands taking into account that inelastic and elastic scattering events induced by a broad-band probe pulse cannot be separated through the spectroscopy of the scattered photon. As a result, scattering patterns are not determined by the structure factor at the time of measurement, but can encode the instantaneous electron current between scattering atoms. We provide examples of how the interatomic electron current in a periodic structure can be extracted from a single scattering pattern by considering valence electron hole motion in (KBr)$_{108}$ and Ge$_{83}$ clusters.

description: This paper estimates a New Keynesian DSGE model with search frictions and monetary rules augmented with different labor market indicators. In accordance with a theoretical literature I find that a central bank reacts to a labor market tightness, employment or unemployment. Posterior odds tests speak in favor of models with augmented Taylor rules versus a model with a model with a standard rule. The augmented rules were also shown to be more efficient in terms of welfare.
The influence of model resolution on ozone from industrial VOC releases
Creators: name: Henderson, Barron Halton
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The Houston ozone (O3) nonattainment area frequently experiences large industrial releases of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Released VOCs create plumes of O3 with production rates 2 to 5 times higher than typical urban conditions. Ozone concentrations produced by simulated industrial releases are sensitive to emission inventory (EI) resolutions. This study uses Process Analysis to compare O3 production in two simulated industrial VOC releases using different EI resolutions over equal area. Both resolutions produce the same total "Odd Oxygen" (Ox) mass, but the finer resolution reduces total O3 mass (3%) while increasing the peak O3 concentration (46%). Emission inventory resolution alters the processes producing Ox and alters the O3 response to changes in NOx and VOC emissions. The latter is an important factor in assessing efficacy of control policies and, potentially, which control path to pursue. Future studies will quantify the effects of EI resolution on specific emission reduction strategies.

description: Frankia spp. are nitrogen-fixing actinobacteria that establish root-nodule symbiosis with actinorhizal plants comprising more than 200 species in eight dicotyledonous families. From a cell population of Frankia alni strain ACN14a that had been subcultured for over 30 years, we identified two types of variants (types A and S) with a different colony appearance. Type A variants exhibited ambiguous, and type S variants exhibited sharp colony edges. The two types differed in molecular weight and monosaccharide composition of cell surface polysaccharides, which could be responsible for the differences in colony appearance. When inoculated to a host plant Alnus glutinosa, both types induced nodulation but plants infected with type S isolates showed much lower nitrogen fixation activity than those infected with type A isolates. Indeed, type S isolates developed fewer vesicles inside infected plant cells. These results suggest that surface polysaccharides of Frankia play important roles in symbiotic interactions with actinorhizal plants.

description: Further to the functional representations of C$^*$-algebras proposed by R. Cirelli, A. Mania and L. Pizzocchero, we consider in this article the uniform Kähler bundle (in short, UKB) description of some C$^*$-algebraic subjects. In particular, we obtain an one-to-one correspondence between closed ideals of a C$^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ and full uniform Kähler sub bundles over open subsets of the base space of the UKB associated with $\mathcal{A}$. In addition, we will present a geometric description of the pure state space of hereditary C$^*$-subalgebras and show that that if $\mathcal{B}$ is a hereditary C$^*$-subalgebra of $\mathcal{A}$, the UKB of $\mathcal{B}$ is a kind of Kähler subbundle of the UKB of $\mathcal{A}$. As a simple example, we consider hereditary C$^*$-subalgebras of the C$^*$-algebra of compact operators on a Hilbert space. Finally, we remark that hereditary C$^*$-subalgebras also naturally can be characterized as uniform holomorphic Hilbert subbundles.

Legacies of Authoritarianism and Elite Responses to Social Unrest. The Estallidos Sociales in Peru and Chile
Creators: name: Guzmán-Concha, César
Publisher: name: Sociologica
Year: 2023

description: Massive social unrest broke out in Peru and Chile in recent years. In both countries, the constitutional issue was central in the articulation of protests. However, elite reactions to these movements were different. In Chile, political institutions sought to accommodate the popular demands, launching a process of constitutional reform that attempted to appease discontent redirecting it to institutional politics. Whereas in Peru, the political elite was unable to agree on a process of constitutional revision. The “estallido social” of 2020, which led to the ousting of President Merino, re-emerged two years later with more intensity in the aftermath of the failed coup d’état attempted by President Castillo. To understand these different responses to mass social unrest, this article proposes a theoretical framework grounded in historical institutionalism. The main argument is that authoritarian regimes are critical junctures that produce enduring legacies in the power configurations of the polity. Legacies will vary depending on two aspects: whether authoritarianism consolidates a power basis, and how these regimes end. Different socio-political legacies favored distinct elite reactions and approaches to the threats posed by popular movements. To illustrate this argument, the article draws on previous studies and provides preliminary evidence. Overall, the article contributes to political sociology by integrating critical junctures and outcomes of social movements literature.

description: Quantum metrology protocols allow to surpass precision limits typical to classical statistics. However, in recent years, no-go theorems have been formulated, which state that typical forms of uncorrelated noise can constrain the quantum enhancement to a constant factor, and thus bound the error to the standard asymptotic scaling. In particular, that is the case of time-homogeneous (Lindbladian) dephasing and, more generally, all semigroup dynamics that include phase covariant terms, which commute with the system Hamiltonian. We show that the standard scaling can be surpassed when the dynamics is no longer ruled by a semigroup and becomes time-inhomogeneous. In this case, the ultimate precision is determined by the system short-time behaviour, which when exhibiting the natural Zeno regime leads to a non-standard asymptotic resolution. In particular, we demonstrate that the relevant noise feature dictating the precision is the violation of the semigroup property at short timescales, while non-Markovianity does not play any specific role.

description: The tuff of Elevenmile Canyon (TEC) is a 25.1 Ma trachydacite to rhyolite intracaldera tuff produced by the largest of 6 Oligocene overlapping calderas that, along with related plutons, constitute the Stillwater Caldera Complex, one of the largest eruptions of the Western Nevada Volcanic Field during the mid-Tertiary ignimbrite flare-up. Typically crystal-rich with a mineral assemblage of plagioclase > quartz  sanidine > biotite ± hornblende and clinopyroxene, there are two discernable pumice types throughout the tuff: a lighter crystal-rich pumice and a darker, commonly aphyric pumice type. Rb-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic compositions of pumice fragments and whole rock samples indicate an enriched mantle component (87Sr/86Srin = 0.70495 – 0.70535, Nd[t=25.1Ma] = -1.13 to -0.39) similar to that of coeval Cenozoic mafic lavas. Pb isotopes (206Pb/204Pbin = 19.042 – 19.168, 207Pb/204Pbin = 15.557 – 15.664) fall along a tight trend between the Northern Hemisphere Reference Line (Hart 1984) and an endmember similar to local granitic units. Major and trace element modelling support a source for the TEC derived from the mixing of anatectic melts of crustal rocks with intruded mantle-derived magmas similar to a local basaltic-andesite.

description: Statement of problem. Composite resins are widely used in the restoration of dental elements and have optical and mechanical properties compatible with the remaining structures. Another technical variation has been applied using composite resins as cementing agents. Due to the high content of inorganic fillers, the resins have a high viscosity, interfering with the necessary fluidity for cementation procedures. For this reason, the preheating of these materials allows a reduction in their viscosity and a higher conversion rate. The literature reports preheating, but with considerable variables, such as different devices, temperatures, heating times, among others. Thus, there is no consensus that guides the clinician who wishes to use the pre-heated composite resins for cementing indirect parts. Purpose. To identify the different types of devices, temperatures, and time used for heating composite resins for cementing indirect restorations. Materials and methods. Studies were selected from the PubMed/ MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus, and Livivo databases, in addition to searching the gray literature. Studies that preheat composite resins for cementing indirect restorations were selected. There were no restrictions on the type of study, year of publication or language. The following data were extracted: preheating techniques, devices used for heating, temperatures and preheating times. Results. 298 studies were identified in the databases. A total of 17,800 citations were detected using Google Scholar, where only 200 most relevant were considered for analysis. After removing duplicates, 270 articles remained for selection. 14 articles were considered relevant and were included in the final evaluation. The evaluation of the included articles showed seven articles that reported similar preheating techniques for composite resins using the Calset device (Addent Inc.) in 5 minutes. Different preheating devices and times were used in the other articles, and the temperature ranged from 54°C to 68°C. Conclusions. The present scoping review presents the various techniques used for preheating composite resins for cementation. There are different preheating devices and there is also no standardization regarding the heating time or temperature. Among the properties evaluated in the studies, the preheating of the composite resins led to a better performance of the material for the cementation of indirect restorations.

description: We solve the Navier-Stokes equations with two simultaneous forcings. One forcing is applied at a given large-scale and it injects energy. The other forcing is applied at all scales belonging to the inertial range and it injects helicity. In this way we can vary the degree of turbulence helicity from non helical to maximally helical. We find that increasing the rate of helicity injection does not change the energy flux. On the other hand the level of total energy is strongly increased and the energy spectrum gets steeper. The energy spectrum spans from a Kolmogorov scaling law $k^{-5/3}$ for a non-helical turbulence, to a non-Kolmogorov scaling law $k^{-7/3}$ for a maximally helical turbulence. In the later case we find that the characteristic time of the turbulence is not the turnover time but a time based on the helicity injection rate. We also analyse the results in terms of helical modes decomposition. For a maximally helical turbulence one type of helical mode is found to be much more energetic than the other one, by several orders of magnitude. The energy cascade of the most energetic type of helical mode results from the sum of two fluxes. One flux is negative and can be understood in terms of a decimated model. This negative flux is however not sufficient to lead an inverse energy cascade. Indeed the other flux involving the least energetic type of helical mode is positive and the largest. The least energetic type of helical mode is then essential and cannot be neglected.
