description: This paper focuses on a class of important two-hop relay mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) with limited-buffer constraint and any mobility model that leads to the uniform distribution of the locations of nodes in steady state, and develops a general theoretical framework for the end-to-end (E2E) delay modeling there. We first combine the theories of Fixed-Point, Quasi-Birth-and-Death process and embedded Markov chain to model the limiting distribution of the occupancy states of a relay buffer, and then apply the absorbing Markov chain theory to characterize the packet delivery process, such that a complete theoretical framework is developed for the E2E delay analysis. With the help of this framework, we derive a general and exact expression for the E2E delay based on the modeling of both packet queuing delay and delivery delay. To demonstrate the application of our framework, case studies are further provided under two network scenarios with different MAC protocols to show how the E2E delay can be analytically determined for a given network scenario. Finally, we present extensive simulation and numerical results to illustrate the efficiency of our delay analysis as well as the impacts of network parameters on delay performance.

Μέσω αυτής της έρευνας θα αποπειραθεί να εξηγηθεί, γιατί η ναυμαχία της Σαλαμίνας, αποτέλεσε το σημείο αναφοράς του Δυτικού πολιτισμού, για τον διαχωρισμό του από την Ανατολική κουλτούρα και επιτέλεσε διαχρονικά το σημείο αναφοράς ετεροπροσδιορισμού της Ευρωπαϊκής- Δυτικής ταυτότητας από τον εκάστοτε «Άλλο». Αρχικά θα εξεταστεί η σχέση της αρχαιολογίας με τη φωτογραφία και πως αυτές οι πρακτικές αξιοποιήθηκαν για την κατασκευή του εθνικού φαντασιακού στην Ελλάδα. Οι μηχανισμοί της φωτογραφικής πρακτική και της επιστήμης της αρχαιολογίας, αναπτύχθηκαν ραγδαία στα τέλη του 19ου αι. μαζί με την άνοδο των Εθνικών κρατών και αποτέλεσαν τα ιδανικά εργαλεία για την κατασκευή των νέων φαντασιακών τόπων που θα ανοικοδομούνταν τα έθνη κράτη. Στην συνέχεια θα μελετηθεί το παράδειγμα της Σαλαμίνας και θα εξεταστεί μέσα από τις αναπαραστάσεις της ναυμαχίας του 480 π.Χ. το κοινωνικό, πολιτικό και οικονομικό πλαίσιο πίσω από αυτές και ποια η σχέση τους με τη μυθολογία που δομήθηκε γύρω από τη Σαλαμίνα, από την αρχαιότητα έως και τη σύγχρονη εποχή. Τέλος, με την προσωπική μου παραγωγή έργου θα επιχειρηθεί να αποδομηθεί ο μύθος της Σαλαμίνας και να «φωτιστούν» άγνωστες πτυχές της ιστορίας, σε σχέση με την φωτογραφική αναπαράσταση, που το κυρίαρχο σύστημα προσπάθησε να αποσιωπήσει.

description: Methods in data visualization have rapidly advanced over the past decade. While regularly needing to visualize the results of their analyses, social scientists receive little training in how to best design their visualizations. This tutorial is for individuals whose goal is to communicate patterns in data as clearly as possible to other consumers of science, and is designed to be accessible to both experienced and relatively new users of R and ggplot2. It does assume some basic statistical and visualization knowledge, focusing on how to visualize rather than what to visualize. We distill the science and wisdom of data visualization expertise from books, blogs, and online forum discussion threads into recommendations for social scientists looking to convey their results to other scientists. Overarching design philosophies and color decisions are discussed before giving specific examples of code in R for visualizing central tendencies, proportions, and relationships between variables.

An Empirical Analysis of Incentive Clauses and Performance Among Head Coaches at NCAA Football Bowl Series Public Institutions
Creators: name: Dougherty, John James
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: The trend of increased compensation among college football head coaches has been well documented. (Brady, E., Berkowitz, S., & Upton, J., 2012). Along with increased compensation have come elaborate contract dynamics and incentive clauses that reward coaches for academic and athletic performance. (Reynolds, 2012). The purpose of this study was to quantify the prevalence of incentive clauses in coaching contracts and determine incentive clauses' effect on athletic and academic performance. This study analyzed 747 contract years from 78 public, FBS member institutions from 2002-2012. Contract data was compared to athletic and academic performance information to determine whether incentive presence and/or size significantly affected performance outcomes. The majority of incentive conditions did not produce significantly different results when present in contracts. Similarly, for most incentive types, the size of incentives did not significantly affect performance outcomes. This study suggests that most incentive practices do not significantly correspond to improved performance.
Research integrity climate at Croatian university

description: A high rate of research misconduct and questionable scientific practices is evident in the scientific community, and even more in Croatia than in Western European and North American countries. The reasons for committing research misconduct are usually categorized as individual, organizational, and systemic. The focus of this research is to examine organizational causes of research misconduct, more specifically organizational climate for research integrity. An institution that promotes research integrity is perceived among its members as an institution that values, fosters, and administers its program with high ethical standards for responsible conduct of research and principles of research integrity. The Survey of Organizational Research Climate (SOuRCe) is an instrument that measures perception of organizational climate for research integrity, and it has been developed and multiple times validated in the USA. In this project, we plan to translate, adapt and test psychometric characteristics of the English version of the Survey of Organizational Research Climate (SOuRCe) and culturally adapt it for use in the Croatian academic institutions. Furthermore, we aim to assess scientists’ perceptions of the organizational climate for responsible research practices at the University of Rijeka (UniRi) and compare the differences in perception between different scientific disciplines, and academic ranks.

Nonmonotonic coexistence regions for the two-type Richardson model
Creators: name: Deijfen, Maria
name: Häggström, Olle
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In the two-type Richardson model on a graph $\mathcal{G}=(\mathcal{V},\mathcal{E})$, each vertex is at a given time in state $0$, $1$ or $2$. A $0$ flips to a $1$ (resp.\ $2$) at rate $λ_1$ ($λ_2$) times the number of neighboring $1$'s ($2$'s), while $1$'s and $2$'s never flip. When $\mathcal{G}$ is infinite, the main question is whether, starting from a single $1$ and a single $2$, with positive probability we will see both types of infection reach infinitely many sites. This has previously been studied on the $d$-dimensional cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 2$, where the conjecture (on which a good deal of progress has been made) is that such coexistence has positive probability if and only if $λ_1=λ_2$. In the present paper examples are given of other graphs where the set of points in the parameter space which admit such coexistence has a more surprising form. In particular, there exist graphs exhibiting coexistence at some value of $\frac{λ_1}{λ_2} \neq 1$ and non-coexistence when this ratio is brought closer to $1$.
Towards Weakly Constrained Double Field Theory

description: We show that it is possible to construct a well-defined effective field theory incorporating string winding modes without using strong constraint in double field theory. We show that X-ray (Radon) transform on a torus is well-suited for describing weakly constrained double fields, and any weakly constrained fields are represented as a sum of strongly constrained fields. Using inverse X- ray transform we define a novel binary operation which is compatible with the level matching constraint. Based on this formalism, we construct a consistent gauge transform and gauge invariant action without using strong constraint. We then discuss the relation of our result to the closed string field theory. Our construction suggests that there exists an effective field theory description for massless sector of closed string field theory on a torus in an associative truncation.

Evaluation of Health Information Websites on Labor and Birth
Creators: name: English, Cara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The Internet is a leading source of information for women during pregnancy with 99% of pregnant women accessing web-based health information related to pregnancy and birth weekly (Declercq, Sakala, Corry, Applebaum, & Herrlich, 2013b). A plethora of information on birth is available through the Internet (Daniels & Welder, 2015; Jolivet & Corry, 2010; Lothian, 2008), yet there are no guidelines or recommendations to direct women to credible websites to prepare for an in-hospital birth. In general, providers are unaware of the health sites their patients access (Martin & Robb, 2013; Weston & Anderson, 2014). There is a need for evidence to inform providers regarding websites they can confidently recommend to patients. The literature is lacking studies that have evaluated health information websites, specifically those related to women’s health. The purpose of this DNP project was to critically evaluate websites pregnant women commonly used for labor and birth information, identify areas in which websites are deficient, and provide information to fill the gap. Websites were evaluated using Health Information Technology Institute (HITI) criteria, Flesch reading ease scale, and Flesch-Kincaid grade level. Content on induction of labor (IOL) and pain management was evaluated based on current, evidence-based information. Although government websites met the majority of the criteria, no website met all target criteria. Therefore, I created a model website using HITI and readability criteria with evidence-based content on IOL and pain management during labor and birth. Feedback on the website by a sample of stakeholders (n = 9) was positive. The project adds to the literature by providing evaluative information about health information websites used by pregnant women seeking information about labor and birth. Providers can utilize the results of the project to formulate recommendations about the most credible websites for their patients. While there is currently no perfect website, this evaluation notes that government websites provided the highest quality information. This project highlights the need for additional evaluation of websites used by pregnant women and the need for discussions between women and providers on Internet use in order for providers to confidently guide patients to accurate and complete information.

description: In January of 2021 Mercy For Animals (MFA) launched the FAOI (Farmed Animal Opportunity Index), a composite index that ranks 60 countries on their potential for effective farmed animal advocacy interventions using 19 relevant socioeconomic indicators. While the FAOI included several variables indicating general tractability (the likelihood of any social change movement being successful) such as political stability, economic conditions, levels of education, and internet penetration, there was a lack of clear indication of movement specific tractability (the likelihood of the farmed animal advocacy movement being successful). In fact, almost no relevant research on knowledge, attitudes and behaviors regarding farmed animal issues has been conducted in the vast majority of the countries included in the Index. As a first step in providing this type of data, and with an eye towards making the Index even more robust and informative, the project is in the process of creating a multinational survey instrument and drafting a deployment plan. Results from such a survey would improve understanding of self-reported attitudes and behavioral intentions of people in different countries towards farmed animal welfare, plant-based alternatives, and other relevant topics, as well as the likelihood of participation in key advocacy activities like signing petitions, volunteering, and donating. Such a survey would not only provide insight on individual countries, it would also offer a consistent point of comparison across countries. While the aim is to ultimately deploy the survey in all 60 countries, the project will be approached in phases with the first phase being a pilot consisting of the 23 countries listed below. This document preregisters the hypotheses and methods for this initial study.

description: There has been a long standing tradition amongst developed nations of influencing, both directly and indirectly, the activities of developing economies. Behind this is one of a range of aims: building/improving living standards, bettering the social status of recipient communities, etc. In some cases, this has resulted in prosperous relations, yet often this has been seen as the exploitation of a power position or a veneer for other activities (e.g. to tap into new emerging markets). In this paper, we explore whether initiatives to improve Internet connectivity in developing regions are always ethical. We draw a list of issues that would aid in formulating Internet initiatives that are ethical, effective, and sustainable.

Reviewing the situation: Oliver! and the musical afterlife of Dickens's novels
Creators: name: Napolitano, Marc
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: This project presents an analysis of various musical adaptations of the works of Charles Dickens. Transforming novels into musicals usually entails significant complications due to the divergent narrative techniques employed by novelists and composers or librettists. In spite of these difficulties, Dickens's novels have continually been utilized as sources for stage and film musicals. This dissertation initially explores the elements of the author's novels which render his works more suitable sources for musicalization than the texts of virtually any other canonical novelist. Subsequently, the project examines some of the larger and more complex issues associated with the adaptation of Dickens's works into musicals, specifically, the question of preserving the overt Englishness of one of the most conspicuously British authors in literary history while simultaneously incorporating him into a genre that is closely connected with the techniques, talents, and tendencies of the American stage. A comprehensive overview of Lionel Bart's Oliver! (1960), the most influential Dickensian musical of all time, serves to introduce the predominant theoretical concerns regarding the modification of Dickens's texts for the musical stage and screen. These issues include the history of utilizing songs in theatrical adaptations of the author's novels, the tendency of composers to eliminate the darker elements of his works when adapting him to the family-friendly standards of the musical genre, the modification or elimination of Boz's narrative voice in such adaptations, and finally, the cultural exchange that is often essential to inserting the British writer into an American medium. Each one of these theoretical issues is then examined in greater depth through the exploration of additional Dickensian musicals including Leslie Bricusse and Cyril Ornadel's Pickwick (1963), Rupert Holmes's Drood (1985), Alan Menken's A Christmas Carol: The Musical (1994), and various other adaptations produced in the years following Oliver!

description: It is shown that sufficiently large periodic modulations in the coefficients of a nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation can drastically impact the spatial shape of the Peregrine soliton solutions: they can develop multiple compression points of the same amplitude, rather than only a single one, as in the spatially homogeneous focusing nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation. The additional compression points are generated in pairs forming a comb-like structure. The number of additional pairs depends on the amplitude of the modulation but not on its wavelength, which controls their separation distance. The dynamics and characteristics of these generalized Peregrine soliton are analytically described in the case of a completely integrable modulation. A numerical investigation shows that their main properties persist in nonintegrable situations, where no exact analytical expression of the generalized Peregrine soliton is available. Our predictions are in good agreement with numerical findings for an interesting specific case of an experimentally realizable periodically dispersion modulated photonic crystal fiber. Our results therefore pave the way for the experimental control and manipulation of the formation of generalized Peregrine rogue waves in the wide class of physical systems modeled by the nonlinear Schr{ö}dinger equation.

At those medium-high field values the hyperfine structure in the excited state is broken by the Zeeman effect, while in the ground state hyperfine structure and Zeeman shifts are comparable. The observed spectra are composed by a large number of absorption lines. We identify them as saturated absorptions on two-level systems, on three-level systems in a V configuration and on four-level systems in a N or double-N configuration where two optical transitions not sharing a common level are coupled by spontaneous emission decays. We analyze the intensity of all those transitions within a unified simple theoretical model. We concentrate our attention on the double-N crossovers signals whose intensity is very large because of the symmetry in the branching ratios of the four levels. We point out that these structures, present in all alkali atoms at medium-high magnetic fields, have interesting properties for electromagnetically induced transparency and slow light applications.

description: Lithoprimnoa Grube, 1861: 174–175.
Diagnosis (from Cairns & Bayer, 2009, edits in bold): Colonies dichotomously branched and usually bushy. Calyces closely spaced and randomly arranged on all branch surfaces, the appressed calyces facing downwards. Well-developed operculum present, opercular scales keeled on inner surface. Polyps large and fleshy, each polyp protected by two rows of three or more large abaxial scales, sometimes arranged in an irregular manner, two short inner lateral rows of two or three smaller scales (including the marginals), and two even shorter rows of two (including the marginals) adaxial scales, resulting in six longitudinal rows, but four of them composed of few variable-sized scales; adaxial side of body-wall predominantly bare. There is also a crown of eight large, concave marginals, the adaxial marginals usually smaller than other marginals. Coenenchymal scales arranged in one layer. Tentacular rods often present.

description: In recent years, as fractional calculus becomes more and more broadly used in research across different academic disciplines, there are increasing demands for the numerical tools for the computation of fractional integration/differentiation, and the simulation of fractional order systems. Time to time, being asked about which tool is suitable for a specific application, the authors decide to carry out this survey to present recapitulative information of the available tools in the literature, in hope of benefiting researchers with different academic backgrounds. With this motivation, the present article collects the scattered tools into a dashboard view, briefly introduces their usage and algorithms, evaluates the accuracy, compares the performance, and provides informative comments for selection.

ΕΙ ΔΗ ΚΑΛΩΣ: knowledge, pessimism, and fate in Sophocles’ Trachiniae
Creators: name: Penich, Michael Keith
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: This thesis offers a new interpretation of Sophocles’ Trachiniae. The play depicts two models of human knowledge, one which holds that “the whole truth” (πᾶν τἀληθές, 453) cannot be reached until its telos is known, and another according to which “the whole truth” consists of unending patterns. The pattern-based model is represented in the tragedy of Deianeira. Her understanding of the world is imbued with a deep pessimism which sustains and is sustained by the constant recurrence of fear in her life. The confrontation of Deianeira’s pessimistic, patternbased understanding of the world with the telos-oriented oracle of Zeus constitutes the central crisis of the play. Ultimately, the telos-based model of knowledge is vindicated in Herakles’ fate. Chapter 1 explores the whole truth motif in the play. Chapter 2 focuses on Deianeira’s pessimism and her pattern-based understanding of the world. Chapter 3 examines the significance of the telos in Herakles’ fate.

description: We present multi-epoch, large-scale ($\sim$ 2000 arcmin${}^2$), fairly deep ($\sim$ 16 $μ$Jy), high-resolution ($\sim$ 1") radio observations of the Perseus star-forming complex obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array at frequencies of 4.5 GHz and 7.5 GHz. These observations were mainly focused on the clouds NGC 1333 and IC 348, although we also observed several fields in other parts of the Perseus complex. We detect a total of 206 sources, 42 of which are associated with young stellar objects (YSOs). The radio properties of about 60% of the YSOs are compatible with a non-thermal radio emission origin. Based on our sample, we find a fairly clear relation between the prevalence of non-thermal radio emission and evolutionary status of the YSOs. By comparing our results with previously reported X-ray observations, we show that YSOs in Perseus follow a Güdel-Benz relation with $κ$ = 0.03 consistent with other regions of star formation. We argue that most of the sources detected in our observations but not associated with known YSOs are extragalactic, but provide a list of 20 unidentified radio sources whose radio properties are consistent with being YSO candidates. Finally we also detect 5 sources with extended emission features which can clearly be associated with radio galaxies.

Fire ecology and fire management in the Southern Appalachians: rationale for and effects of prescribed fire
Creators: name: Schwartz, Naomi Beth
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Fire suppression in the Southern Appalachians has led to changes in forests dominated by yellow pine (Pinus subgenus pinus) and oak (Quercus) species. Recently, management agencies have begun to prescribe fire with the aim of restoring pre-suppression conditions. Here, I examine the use of prescribed fire in the Southern Appalachians from two perspectives. First, I review the values and goals that underlie fire management, how they apply in the Southern Appalachians, and what the implications of these are for fire management planning. Second, I use long-term monitoring data to examine how prescribed fire affects forest structure and composition in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and how these effects vary with environment and fire severity. I find that prescribed fire creates conditions conducive for pine reproduction and is particularly effective at high severity and at lower elevation sites where fire sensitive species are still confined to smaller size classes.

An Improved Phylogenetic Tree Comparison Method
Creators: name: Potiny, Suneel
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The comparison of phylogenetic trees is an evolving area of study. The need to analyze the similarities among trees found in phylogenetic databases is growing, and while several tree comparison methods exist, further work in this area can be beneficial. This research presents a novel, distance-based tree comparison method (MDS-Procrustes). Our approach begins with two trees and represents the patristic distances between nodes within each tree in separate distance matrices. Then we use classical multi-dimensional scaling to represent these distances as Euclidean structures in a high-dimensional space while maintaining the original distance information. Finally, Procrustes analysis is used to superimpose one Euclidean structure onto the other to generate a similarity score between the two trees. In this work, we compare the effectiveness of the proposed method to existing approaches found in the literature in terms of both similarity score distribution and computational performance.
