Subjects: subject: Gifted children—Education
subject: Inclusive education

description: This Research Project sought to determine more about whether the needs of gifted students are being served successfully within the current educational approach of inclusion, and whether teachers are properly supported and professionally prepared to accommodate these types of learners (and other Special Education students in general) into their regular education (inclusion) classrooms. A mixed-methods survey gathered information from 24 regular education classroom teachers across four separate schools in two neighbouring school districts in British Columbia during the winter of 2012. The vast majority of Special Education students in surveyed teachers’ classrooms were identified as having a learning disability, while few were identified as being gifted, echoing previous gifted education researchers’ fear of a “quiet crisis” in this area. A strong majority of participants believed more students would benefit from a Special Education designation. Results also revealed that although the majority of participants had been involved in professional development directed related to Special Education at some point, they felt professional unprepared and improperly supported to address the needs of these students in their regular education (inclusion) classrooms. More, the entire range of Special Education students represented considerable challenges of incorporation to participants. The majority of teacher time on accommodations went to those with learning disabilities, while the least went to gifted students. This study concluded that a concentrated effort by school districts and the Ministry of Education alike needs to be undertaken in terms of focused professional development and support of its teachers in Special Education policies, ideologies, and strategies, whilst seriously addressing the gap between the policy and practice of inclusion in regular education classrooms.

description: Now a day reversible logic is an attractive research area due to its low power consumption in the area of VLSI circuit design. The reversible logic gate is utilized to optimize power consumption by a feature of retrieving input logic from an output logic because of bijective mapping between input and output. In this manuscript, we design 4 2 and 5 2 reversible compressor circuits using a new type of reversible gate. In addition, we propose new gate, named as inventive0 gate for optimizing a compressor circuit. The utility of the inventive0 gate is that it can be used as full adder and full subtraction with low value of garbage outputs and quantum cost. An algorithm is shown for designing a compressor structure. The comparative study shows that the proposed compressor structure outperforms the existing ones in terms of garbage outputs, number of gates and quantum cost. The compressor can reduce the effect of carry (Produce from full adder) of the arithmetic frame design. In addition, we implement a basic reversible gate of MOS transistor with less number of MOS transistor count.

description: We derive average radial gradients in the dust attenuation towards HII regions in 609 galaxies at z~1.4, using measurements of the Balmer decrement out to r~3kpc. The Balmer decrements are derived from spatially resolved maps of Halpha and Hbeta emission from the 3D-HST survey. We find that with increasing stellar mass (M) both the normalization and strength of the gradient in dust attenuation increases. Galaxies with a mean mass of = 9.2Msun have little dust attenuation at all radii, whereas galaxies with = 10.2Msun have dust attenuation toward Halpha A(Halpha)~2mag in their central regions. We parameterize this as A(Halpha) = b + c log(r), with b = 0.9 + 1.0 log(M10), c = -1.9 - 2.2 log(M10), r in kpc, and M10 the stellar mass in units of 10^10Msun. This expression can be used to correct spatially resolved measurements of Halpha to radial distributions of star formation. When applied to our data, we find that the star formation rates in the central r<1kpc of galaxies in the highest mass bin are ~ 6 Msun/yr, six times higher than before correction and approximately half of the total star formation rate of these galaxies. If this high central star formation rate is maintained for several Gyr, a large fraction of the stars in present-day bulges likely formed in-situ.

Social movements as sites of knowledge production: precarious work, the fate of care and activist research in a globalizing Spain
Creators: name: Casas-Cortés, María Isabel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation examines the practice of activist research as a growing tendency within contemporary social movements. European struggles working on the current transformations in labor --its increasing precarization in general, and its effects on care practices in particular-- constitute one of the most active sites of struggle at present within the restructuring spaces of the European Union. I investigate the intellectual and political implications of activist research in relation to these socially pressing problematics. I do so through archival research and ethnographic engagement with social movements' networks targeting and analyzing the emerging precarity-care complex. The explicit turn to knowledge production practices by social movements speak to the transformative potential of research embedded in processes of collective action and social struggle. I highlight the theoretical and political contributions made by a particular feminist project based in Madrid whose work focuses on the conflicting transformations afoot among youth and migrant women in Spain under the current reconfigurations of the European Union.
Evolution of Accretion Discs around a Kerr Black Hole using Extended Magnetohydrodynamics

description: Black holes accreting well below the Eddington rate are believed to have geometrically thick, optically thin, rotationally supported accretion discs in which the Coulomb mean free path is large compared to $GM/c^2$. In such an environment, the disc evolution may differ significantly from ideal magnetohydrodynamic predictions. We present non-ideal global axisymmetric simulations of geometrically thick discs around a rotating black hole. The simulations are carried out using a new code ${\rm\it grim}$, which evolves a covariant extended magnetohydrodynamics model derived by treating non-ideal effects as a perturbation of ideal magnetohydrodynamics. Non-ideal effects are modeled through heat conduction along magnetic field lines, and a difference between the pressure parallel and perpendicular to the field lines. The model relies on an effective collisionality in the disc from wave-particle scattering and velocity-space (mirror and firehose) instabilities. We find that the pressure anisotropy grows to match the magnetic pressure, at which point it saturates due to the mirror instability. The pressure anisotropy produces outward angular momentum transport with a magnitude comparable to that of MHD turbulence in the disc, and a significant increase in the temperature in the wall of the jet. We also find that, at least in our axisymmetric simulations, conduction has a small effect on the disc evolution because (1) the heat flux is constrained to be parallel to the field and the field is close to perpendicular to temperature gradients, and (2) the heat flux is choked by an increase in effective collisionality associated with the mirror instability.

description: The bright southern star L2 Pup is a particularly prominent asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star, as its distance of 64 pc makes it the nearest of its type. We report new adaptive optics observations of L2 Pup at visible wavelengths with the SPHERE/ZIMPOL instrument of the VLT that confirm the presence of the circumstellar dust disk at high inclination discovered recently by Kervella et al. (2014b). The signature of the three-dimensional structure of the disk is clearly observed in the map of the degree of linear polarization pL. We identify the inner rim of the disk through its polarimetric signature at a radius of 6 AU from the AGB star. The ZIMPOL intensity images in the V and R bands also reveal a close-in secondary source at a projected separation of 2 AU from the primary. The identification of the spectral type of this companion is uncertain due to the strong reddening from the disk, but its photometry suggests that it is a late K giant, of comparable mass to the AGB star. We present refined physical parameters for the dust disk derived using the RADMC-3D radiative transfer code. We also interpret the pL map using a simple polarization model to infer the three-dimensional structure of the envelope. Interactions between the inner binary system and the disk apparently form spiral structures that propagate along the orthogonal axis to the disk to form streamers. Two dust plumes propagating orthogonally to the disk are also detected. They originate in the inner stellar system, and are possibly related to the interaction of the wind of the two stars with the material in the disk. Based on the morphology of the envelope of L2 Pup, we propose that this star is at an early stage of the formation of a bipolar planetary nebula.

Civic Care: The Value of Disagreement as Care in Plato's Gorgias
Creators: name: Miller, Joshua
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Democratic theorists like Rawls and Habermas identify pervasive disagreements as "facts" of pluralistic political life. Along with other social contract theorists, they propose strategies for mitigating or altogether avoiding especially recalcitrant disagreements. In contrast, critical and agonistic theorists like Chantal Mouffe, Iris Marion Young, and Amy Gutmann suggest that disagreements are not only pervasive but desirable for democratic politics. These criticisms suffer from their own shortcomings, some of which are addressed in this paper. Specifically, the paper explicates the value of disagreement within a democratic context, proposing that a disagreement's worth should be measured by its reasonableness rather than its termination in agreement between adversarial interlocutors. Plato's Gorgias illustrates such worthwhile disagreement. The dialogue suggests ways for interlocutors to approach and sustain disagreement while articulating Socrates' conception of disagreement as a form of civic care. By sustaining reasoned disagreements, citizens thus care for and about democracy and each other

description: The theoretical analysis of $\bar{p}-Λ\oplus p-\barΛ$ correlation function in 10% most central Au+Au collisions at RHIC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV shows that the contribution of residual correlations is the necessary factor to obtain a satisfactory description of the experimental data. A neglecting of the residual correlation effect, leads to unrealistically low source radius, about 2 times smaller than the corresponding value for $p-Λ\oplus \bar{p}-\barΛ$ case, when one fits the experimental correlation function within Lednicky-Lyuboshitz analytical model. Recently an approach accounting effectively for residual correlations for the baryon-antibaryon correlation function was proposed, and a good RHIC data description was reached with the source radius extracted from the hydrokinetic model (HKM). The $\bar{p}-Λ$ scattering length, as well as the parameters characterizing the residual correlation effect --- annihilation dip amplitude and its inverse width --- were extracted from the corresponding fit. In this paper we use these extracted values and simulated in HKM source functions for Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV to predict the corresponding $pΛ$ and $p\barΛ$ correlation functions.

Social media and the Fortune 500: how the Fortune 500 uses, perceives and measures social media as a marketing tool
Creators: name: Grainger, Jesse
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: This study aims to explore if and to what extent social media are being used as a marketing tool at America's largest, most prestigious companies. More specifically, this study aims to determine what social media assets the Fortune 500 (based on the 2009 list) is employing, how communication and social media professionals at these companies perceive the importance of social media as a marketing tool and how the Fortune 500 is measuring the effectiveness of social media as a marketing tool. The rise of digital and social media has brought about significant changes in the advertising and marketing world. Firms are now being forced to look for new and different ways of communicating with consumers as social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have forced companies to approach consumers differently, more informally and more conversationally. This new approach to marketing and advertising also comes with its own set of rules to determine, identify and ultimately measure the effectiveness of social media. This study aims to explore these queries through a multi-method approach that includes Internet searches and a Qualtrics online survey. The theoretical framework of this topic is still in its early stages of development. Much of the current theory on this topic originates from industry publications and deals with how social media and digital technologies have changed the way in which people communicate, in general, and the way in which consumers interact with products, services and companies, more specifically. This study will add to that theoretical framework by exploring how firms perceive this change in communication and ultimately how they are measuring the effectiveness of social media tools when used in their marketing programs. Moreover the literature on how the measure social media as a marketing tool is very underdeveloped. This research will offer significant and original material to the academic literature on the topic of measurement.

Scoring points online: college athletics departments' brand positioning through communications on the World Wide Web
Creators: name: Meyer, Joshua David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: For years, public relations, marketing, and advertising scholars have recognized the importance of brand positioning when it comes to corporations and organizations. But as athletics departments have blossomed into major sources of revenues and expenses at colleges and universities, no significant research was found that addressed their brand positioning. This study attempts to fill that gap by analyzing how athletics departments present themselves online through their sports information departments' communications. A qualitative content analysis was used to develop key brand themes in a sample of athletics departments' mission statements, then another qualitative study examined the prevalence of the major themes over the period of a month in those athletics departments' online communications. Findings of this analysis show that the selected athletics departments' online communications do not differentiate the universities in regards to the brand themes their mission statements present. Implications of this study are discussed and further research is suggested.

description: The physical mechanism through which the outgoing material of massive red supergiants is accelerated above the escape velocity is unclear. Thanks to the transparency of its circumstellar envelope, the nearby red supergiant Betelgeuse gives the opportunity to probe the innermost layers of the envelope of a typical red supergiant down to the photosphere, i.e. where the acceleration of the wind is expected to occur. We took advantage of the SPHERE/ZIMPOL adaptive optics imaging polarimeter to resolve the visible photosphere and close envelope of Betelgeuse. We detect an asymmetric gaseous envelope inside a radius of 2 to 3 times the near-infrared photospheric radius of the star (R*), and a significant Halpha emission mostly contained within 3 R*. From the polarimetric signal, we also identify the signature of dust scattering in an asymmetric and incomplete dust shell located at a similar radius. The presence of dust so close to the star may have a significant impact on the wind acceleration through radiative pressure on the grains. The 3 R* radius emerges as a major interface between the hot gaseous and dusty envelopes. The detected asymmetries strengthen previous indications that the mass loss of Betelgeuse is likely tied to the vigorous convective motions in its atmosphere.

description: The nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 1277 is thought to host one of the largest black holes known, however the black hole mass measurement is based on low spatial resolution spectroscopy. In this paper, we present Gemini Near-infrared Integral Field Spectrometer observations assisted by adaptive optics. We map out the galaxy's stellar kinematics within ~440 pc of the nucleus with an angular resolution that allows us to probe well within the region where the potential from the black hole dominates. We find that the stellar velocity dispersion rises dramatically, reaching ~550 km/s at the center. Through orbit-based, stellar-dynamical models we obtain a black hole mass of (4.9 \pm 1.6) x 10^9 Msun (1-sigma uncertainties). Although the black hole mass measurement is smaller by a factor of ~3 compared to previous claims based on large-scale kinematics, NGC 1277 does indeed contain one of the most massive black holes detected to date, and the black hole mass is an order of magnitude larger than expectations from the empirical relation between black hole mass and galaxy luminosity. Given the galaxy's similarities to the higher redshift (z~2) massive quiescent galaxies, NGC 1277 could be a relic, passively evolving since that period. A population of local analogs to the higher redshift quiescent galaxies that also contain over-massive black holes may suggest that black hole growth precedes that of the host galaxy.

A Content Analysis of NCAA Division I Track & Field Teams' Twitter Usage: Defining Best Practices in Social Media Marketing
Creators: name: Doran, Abigail Joy
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Non-revenue sports face numerous challenges in marketing their programs; thus the need to self-market their program is becoming more essential to grow their fan base and reach recruits. Social media is an ideal form of communication to reach audiences that do not require any financial resources. This study performed a content analysis of 25 Division I track and field teams with the most Twitter followers to determine primary categories of content and correlation between number of followers and account practices. Previous research on social media marketing has focused on professional teams, professional athletes, and athletic departments as a whole; no prior study has analyzed individual collegiate athletic teams. Among other findings, live results were found to be the most common form of content. The results of this study confirm that social media is an ideal way to help non-revenue teams with limited financial resources improve their marketing and branding efforts.

description: This paper presents a semi-analytical estimate of the response of a grandstand occupied by an active crowd and by a passive crowd. Filtered Gaussian white noise processes are used to approximate the loading terms representing an active crowd. Lumped biodynamic models with a single degree of freedom are included to reflect passive spectators occupying the structure. The response is described in terms of the first two moments, employing the Itô formula and the state augmentation method for the stationary time domain solution. The quality of the approximation is compared on the basis of three examples of varying complexity using Monte Carlo simulation based on a synthetic generator available in the literature. For comparative purposes, there is also a brief review of frequency domain estimates.

Priority-Flood: An Optimal Depression-Filling and Watershed-Labeling Algorithm for Digital Elevation Models

description: Depressions (or pits) are low areas within a digital elevation model that are surrounded by higher terrain, with no outlet to lower areas. Filling them so they are level, as fluid would fill them if the terrain were impermeable, is often necessary in preprocessing DEMs. The depression-filling algorithm presented here---called Priority-Flood---unifies and improves on the work of a number of previous authors who have published similar algorithms. The algorithm operates by flooding DEMs inwards from their edges using a priority queue to determine the next cell to be flooded. The resultant DEM has no depressions or digital dams: every cell is guaranteed to drain. The algorithm is optimal for both integer and floating-point data, working in O(n) and O(n lg n) time, respectively. It is shown that by using a plain queue to fill depressions once they have been found, an O(m lg m) time-complexity can be achieved, where m does not exceed the number of cells n. This is the lowest time complexity of any known floating-point depression-filling algorithm. In testing, this improved variation of the algorithm performed up to 37% faster than the original. Additionally, a parallel version of an older, but widely-used depression-filling algorithm required six parallel processors to achieve a run-time on par with what the newer algorithm's improved variation took on a single processor. The Priority-Flood Algorithm is simple to understand and implement: the included pseudocode is only 20 lines and the included C++ reference implementation is under a hundred lines. The algorithm can work on irregular meshes as well as 4-, 6-, 8-, and n-connected grids. It can also be adapted to label watersheds and determine flow directions through either incremental elevation changes or depression carving. In the case of incremental elevation changes, the algorithm includes safety checks not present in prior works.

Testing the ultimatum paradigm in a naturalistic setting: does it replicate?
Creators: name: Irvin, R. Brandon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Most samples of the Ultimatum game have been from college student populations. In Study 1 we replicated the Ultimatum game with two different populations: Male college students at a fraternity house and poor males at community kitchen. The results from the college students were similar to those that have been published in other similar studies. The results from the Community Kitchen were slightly different with these participants tending to make higher offers showing more altruism. In Study 2 we recruited similar college and poor samples but used a variation on the Ultimatum called the Dictator game and asked additional questions to illuminate the men’s motivation for making altruistic offers in this economic situation. Again, the results from the college students were similar to previous reports using the Dictator game and the homeless population was more generous than expected. Implications for evolutionary hypotheses about human altruism are discussed.

description: Despite the vast literature on the impact of mental health conditions, as well as the impact of students’ learning-related cognitions such as mindset, on academic achievement in college, the synergistic impact of both mental health symptom severity and mindset beliefs on academic performance and perceived academic self-efficacy has not been examined. The present study will examine this question in a large undergraduate student sample by testing whether mindset beliefs moderate the relation between mental health symptom severity and students’ academic self-efficacy and performance.

description: An apparatus and a method are described for plasma etching of the inner surface of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. Accelerator SRF cavities are formed into a variable-diameter cylindrical structure made of bulk niobium, for resonant generation of the particle accelerating field. The etch rate non-uniformity due to depletion of the radicals has been overcome by the simultaneous movement of the gas flow inlet and the inner electrode. An effective shape of the inner electrode to reduce the plasma asymmetry for the coaxial cylindrical rf plasma reactor is determined and implemented in the cavity processing method. The processing was accomplished by moving axially the inner electrode and the gas flow inlet in a step-wise way to establish segmented plasma columns. The test structure was a pillbox cavity made of steel of similar dimension to the standard SRF cavity. This was adopted to experimentally verify the plasma surface reaction on cylindrical structures with variable diameter using the segmented plasma generation approach. The pill box cavity is filled with niobium ring- and disk-type samples and the etch rate of these samples was measured.

Child Acquisition of Passive Sentences: Building Upon Animacy Assumptions from UG
Creators: name: Wilson, Halley
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Children's acquisition of passive sentences has been widely studied in an attempt to understand why children acquiring languages such as English appear to exhibit a delay in the acquisition of this structure. The present study examined semantic factors in English acquiring children's comprehension of passive sentences as a means of accounting for this delay. The results of the study indicated that animacy in the by-phrase may be the crucial factor required for passive comprehension. The process by which passive sentence structure is acquired is argued to be linked to inherent assumptions about animacy from UG which children may utilize to build the syntactic structures required to comprehend passives.
