description: The production rates of heavy quarkonia in ion-ion collisions provide sensitive probes in the studies of the hot and dense matter formed in these collisions at high energies. However, a reference for understanding the behavior in the hot medium is necessary; p-A collisions open the possibility to study heavy quarkonia states in a smaller system of much lower average temperature. This is an important step in forming a baseline for understanding A-A collisions, as well as an investigation into the nature of modifications of the parton distributions in the nucleus. Using data collected at the LHC in 2013, we show results on the prompt J/Ψ and Ψ(2S) nuclear modification factors and the double ratio, Ψ(2S) divided by J/Ψ in p-Pb divided by the same in p-p, in p-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV. The charmonia states were reconstructed via the dimuon decay channel and the yield is analyzed differentially in bins of transverse momentum, rapidity, and event activity.

description: We study the extended phase space thermodynamics for hairy AdS black hole solutions to Einstein-Maxwell-$Λ$ theory conformally coupled to a scalar field in five dimensions. We find these solutions to exhibit van der Waals behaviour in both the charged/uncharged cases, and reentrant phase transitions in the charged case. This is the first example of reentrant phase transitions in a five dimensional gravitational system which does not include higher curvature corrections.

description: We report on measurements performed at low temperatures on a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) under (capacitive) parametric pumping. The excitations and detection schemes are purely electrical, and enable in the present experiment the straightforward measurement of forces down to about a femtonewton, for displacements of an Angström, using standard room temperature electronics. We demonstrate that a small (linear) force applied on the device can be amplified up to more than a 100 times, while the system is {\it truly moving}. We explore the dynamics up to about 50$~$nm deflections for cantilevers about 200$~$nm thick by 3$~$$μ$m long oscillating at a frequency of 7$~$MHz. We present a generic modeling of nonlinear parametric amplification, and give analytic theoretical solutions enabling the fit of experimental results. We finally discuss the practical limits of the technique, with a particular application: the measurement of {\it anelastic damping} in the metallic coating of the device with an exceptional resolution of about 0.5$~$\%.

The impact of poor oral health on school performance for children in North Carolina
Creators: name: Jackson, Stephanie Lynn
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Purpose: To examine the difference in missed school days related to routine dental care versus dental pain/infection and to determine the relationship between children's oral health status (OHS) and school attendance and performance. Methods: We relied upon the 2008 North Carolina (NC) Child Health Assessment and Monitoring Program, a statewide telephone survey. Variables included outcome--school absence and performance; explanatory--OHS; control--parental education, insurance, race, and sex. We used logistic regression models and mediation analysis. Results: The final sample included 2,183 schoolchildren, weighted to reflect the state's census. Children with poorer OHS were nearly 3 times more likely (OR=2.89, 95% CI 1.96, 7.75) to miss school for dental pain. Absence for pain was associated with poorer performance (P<.05) but absence for routine care was not. Mediation analysis revealed that OHS was significantly associated with performance, independent of absence for pain. Conclusions: Children with poorer OHS were more likely to experience dental pain and miss school and more likely to have poorer school performance. These findings suggest that improvement of children's OHS may be a vehicle to improve their educational experience.

Sparse Linear Models applied to Power Quality Disturbance Classification

description: Power quality (PQ) analysis describes the non-pure electric signals that are usually present in electric power systems. The automatic recognition of PQ disturbances can be seen as a pattern recognition problem, in which different types of waveform distortion are differentiated based on their features. Similar to other quasi-stationary signals, PQ disturbances can be decomposed into time-frequency dependent components by using time-frequency or time-scale transforms, also known as dictionaries. These dictionaries are used in the feature extraction step in pattern recognition systems. Short-time Fourier, Wavelets and Stockwell transforms are some of the most common dictionaries used in the PQ community, aiming to achieve a better signal representation. To the best of our knowledge, previous works about PQ disturbance classification have been restricted to the use of one among several available dictionaries. Taking advantage of the theory behind sparse linear models (SLM), we introduce a sparse method for PQ representation, starting from overcomplete dictionaries. In particular, we apply Group Lasso. We employ different types of time-frequency (or time-scale) dictionaries to characterize the PQ disturbances, and evaluate their performance under different pattern recognition algorithms. We show that the SLM reduce the PQ classification complexity promoting sparse basis selection, and improving the classification accuracy.

description: We investigate the nature of seven unusual radio galaxies from the 5C catalogue that were previously known to have extremely red R-K colours, and for which emission lines were previously found to be weak or absent in their optical spectra. We present and discuss u, g, or r images of these radio galaxies, obtained using the Optical System for Imaging and low-Intermediate-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy (OSIRIS) at the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). We have detected all seven targets in our g-band imaging. Their optical emission is extended, and we tentatively detect a radio-optical alignment effect in this sample. A subset of our sample (three sources) shows broad-band spectral energy distributions that flatten out near the wavelength range of the g-band, implying a dominant contribution there due to young stars and/or scattered or reprocessed radiation from the active nucleus.

Magnetic neutron scattering by magnetic vortices in thin submicron-sized soft ferromagnetic cylinders

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: Using analytical expressions for the magnetization textures of thin submicron-sized magnetic cylinders in vortex state, we derive closed-form algebraic expressions for the ensuing small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) cross sections. Specifically, for the perpendicular and parallel scattering geometries, we have computed the magnetic SANS cross sections for the case of small vortex-center displacements without formation of magnetic charges on the side faces of the cylinder. The results represent a significant qualitative and quantitative step forward in SANS-data analysis on isolated magnetic nanoparticle systems, which are commonly assumed to be homogeneously or stepwise-homogeneously magnetized. We suggest a way to extract the fine details of the magnetic vortex structure during the magnetization process from the SANS measurements in order to help resolving the long standing question of the magnetic vortex displacement mode.

Look at the woman I've become: camp, gender and identity in Rainer Werner Fassbinder's The Marriage of Maria Braun and John Cameron Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Creators: name: Banks, Amy Ellen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The concept of female gender performativity is a cornerstone of contemporary queer theory. It suggests that manifestations of femaleness are stylized reinterpretations of socially constructed gender norms. An example of this can be seen in the campy, parodic performance of drag, but it is also reflected in the notion that women themselves are female impersonators. Both groups adapt traditional gender norms in ways that reflect the artificiality of manners of speaking, dress and decorum. Additionally, both groups can attain the subversive power that acknowledgment of such performativity allows. These notions are illustrated in the 1978 Rainer Werner Fassbinder film The Marriage of Maria Braun and the 2001 John Cameron Mitchell film Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The character of Maria Braun adapts her own femininity to the cultural, social and political circumstances that surround her. The character of Hedwig does the same, yet as a transgendered individual. An examination of the two films highlights many issues at the core of current Queer Theory and allows for insight into not only gender identity construction but into how identity as a whole is constructed.
Examples of non-constructive proofs in quantum theory

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Unlike mathematics, in which the notion of truth might be abstract, in physics, the emphasis must be placed on algorithmic procedures for obtaining numerical results subject to the experimental verifiability. For, a physical science is exactly that: algorithmic procedures (built on a certain mathematical formalism) for obtaining verifiable conclusions from a set of basic hypotheses. By admitting non-constructivist statements a physical theory loses its concrete applicability and thus verifiability of its predictions. Accordingly, the requirement of constructivism must be indispensable to any physical theory. Nevertheless, in at least some physical theories, and especially in quantum mechanics, one can find examples of non-constructive statements. The present paper demonstrates a couple of such examples dealing with macroscopic quantum states (i.e., with the applicability of the standard quantum formalism to macroscopic systems). As it is shown, in these examples the proofs of the existence of macroscopic quantum states are based on logical principles allowing one to decide the truth of predicates over an infinite number of things.

description: The Fermi-Hubbard model (FHM) is a cornerstone of modern condensed matter theory. Developed for interacting electrons in solids, which typically exhibit SU($2$) symmetry, it describes a wide range of phenomena, such as metal to insulator transitions and magnetic order. Its generalized SU($N$)-symmetric form, originally applied to multi-orbital materials such as transition-metal oxides, has recently attracted much interest owing to the availability of ultracold SU($N$)-symmetric atomic gases. Here we report on a detailed experimental investigation of the SU($N$)-symmetric FHM using local probing of an atomic gas of ytterbium in an optical lattice to determine the equation of state through different interaction regimes. We prepare a low-temperature SU($N$)-symmetric Mott insulator and characterize the Mott crossover, representing important steps towards probing predicted novel SU($N$)-magnetic phases.

Emergency Department

description: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) can result in serious adverse events. Appropriate risk stratification of LGIB patients can improve their care. Previous risk scores to identify severe LGIB patients have limitations, therefore we developed clinical decision tool to accurately identify LGIB patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) who are at risk for 30-day adverse outcomes that would overcome these limitations. We conducted a health records review and compared two methods of regression analysis on our data in order to develop a clinical decision tool. We identified five risk factors that have a high sensitivity and good predictive value for identifying low risk LGIB patients: age ≥ 75 years, INR ≥2.0, hemoglobin ≤ 100 g/l, ongoing bleeding in the ED and a medical history of colorectal polyps. Future, large, prospective studies should be done to validate the results, after which implementation studies should be conducted.

description: We report on experiments performed in vacuum and at cryogenic temperatures on a tri-port nano-electro-mechanical (NEMS) device. One port is a very non-linear capacitive actuation, while the two others implement the magnetomotive scheme with a linear input force port and a (quasi-linear) output velocity port. We present an experimental method enabling a full characterization of the nanomechanical device harmonic response: the non-linear capacitance function $C(x)$ is derived, and the normal parameters $k$ and $m$ (spring constant and mass) of the mode under study are measured through a careful definition of the motion (in meters) and of the applied forces (in Newtons). These results are obtained with a series of purely electric measurements performed without disconnecting/reconnecting the device, and rely only on known DC properties of the circuit, making use of a thermometric property of the oscillator itself: we use the Young modulus of the coating metal as a thermometer, and the resistivity for Joule heating. The setup requires only three connecting lines without any particular matching, enabling the preservation of a high impedance NEMS environment even at MHz frequencies. The experimental data are fit to a detailed electrical and thermal model of the NEMS device, demonstrating a complete understanding of its dynamics. These methods are quite general and can be adapted (as a whole, or in parts) to a large variety of elecromechanical devices.
An Investigation of the Impacts of Aviation Emissions on Current and Future Fine Particulate Matter in the U.S.
Creators: name: Woody, Matthew C.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The impacts of aviation emissions on current and future year fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
were investigated using the Community Multiscale Air Quality model, accounting for aviation
emissions from 99 airports and below 10,000 ft during the landing and takeoff (LTO) cycle. Results
indicated that current year aviation emissions increased average PM2.5 concentrations by 0.0032 μg
m-3 (0.05%) in the continental U.S. while projected 2025 aviation emissions increased average PM2.5
by 0.0116 μg m-3 (0.21%). Nitrate aerosol was the largest contributor to the increase in PM2.5
concentrations due to aircraft emissions, particularly in the future year. Using an indicator of
inorganic PM2.5 change, we attributed nitrate aerosol contributions to excess free ammonia and higher
aircraft emissions of NOx (which when converted to HNO3 forms ammonium nitrate aerosol) than
SO2 (a precursor of sulfate aerosol).

The accretion of dark matter subhaloes within the cosmic web: primordial anisotropic distribution and its universality

description: The distribution of galaxies displays anisotropy on different scales and it is often referred as galaxy alignment. To understand the origin of galaxy alignments on small scales, one must investigate how galaxies were accreted in the early universe and quantify their primordial anisotropic at the time of accretion. In this paper we use N-body simulations to investigate the accretion of dark matter subhaloes, focusing on their alignment with the host halo shape and the orientation of mass distribution on large scale, defined using the hessian matrix of the density field. The large/small (e1/e3) eigenvalues of the hessian matrix define the fast/slow collapse direction of dark matter on large scale. We find that: 1) the halo major axis is well aligned with the e3 (slow collapse) direction, and it is stronger for massive haloes; 2) subhaloes are predominately accreted along the major axis of the host halo, and the alignment increases with the host halo mass. Most importantly, this alignment is universal; 3) accretion of subhaloes with respect to the e3 direction is not universal. In massive haloes, subhaloes are accreted along the e3 (even stronger than the alignment with the halo major axis), but in low-mass haloes subhaloes are accreted perpendicular to the e3. The transit mass is lower at high redshift. The last result well explains the puzzled correlation (both in recent observations and simulations) that massive galaxies/haloes have their spin perpendicular to the filament, and the spin of low-mass galaxies/haloes is slightly aligned with the filament, under the assumption that the orbital angular momentum of subhaloes is converted to halo spin.

description: To characterize economic development and diagnose the economic health condition, several popular indices such as gross domestic product (GDP), industrial structure and income growth are widely applied. However, computing these indices based on traditional economic census is usually costly and resources consuming, and more importantly, following a long time delay. In this paper, we analyzed nearly 200 million users' activities for four consecutive years in the largest social network (Sina Microblog) in China, aiming at exploring latent relationships between the online social activities and local economic status. Results indicate that online social activity has a strong correlation with local economic development and industrial structure, and more interestingly, allows revealing the macro-economic structure instantaneously with nearly no cost. Beyond, this work also provides a new venue to identify risky signal in local economic structure.

Where the devil dances: A constructivist grounded theory of resilience in volunteer firefighters

Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Volunteer fire fighters
subject: Resilience (Personality trait)
subject: Constructivist grounded theory (CGT)

description: The purpose of this programme of study was to construct a theory of resilience in volunteer firefighters, a population that, despite facing intermittent and at times intense work-related stressors, is underrepresented in the resilience literature. Using a constructivist grounded theory (CGT) perspective, the study engaged a purposive sample of 8 firefighters from a single volunteer fire rescue service (FRS) in Canada, conducted in-depth interviews, and analyzed the data using CGT methodologies. The findings offer unique insight into the resilience of firefighters and demonstrate that resilience in the volunteer FRS is multidimensional, complex, dynamic, and contextual. The CGT asserts that within a volunteer FRS there are a number of concepts that inter-relate to construct resilience: relationships, personal resources, meaning-making, leadership, culture, and knowledge. Recently some researchers have noted relationships between concepts such as social support, adaptive health strategies, etc. (see for example: Almedom et al., 2010), and others are recognizing cultural influences on resilience (see for example: Panter-Brick & Eggerman, 2012), however, there is a dearth of literature linking all of the components together within a theory of resilience in high-risk professions such as the FRS. As well, many of the extant theories/models are linear whereas this theory is multidimensional and more patently represents the complex nature of resilience in volunteer firefighters. The findings further offer concrete strategies for practical integration of resilience theory into policies and actions to mitigate risks and enhance resilience in high risk professions such as the FRS. The outcomes of this programme of work have implications for volunteer firefighters, but there are also more global implications for career firefighters and other emergency service, disaster and humanitarian aid workers, and any organization or business that responds to emergencies, humanitarian crises or disasters.

"So You 'Wanna Be a 'Ball Coach?" Job Satisfaction and Perceived Role Conflict of Millennial Graduate Assistant Coaches in Division I-FBS Football
Creators: name: James, Elvin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Researchers modified the Spector Job Satisfaction Survey to determine job satisfaction of millennial graduate assistant (GA) football coaches at the Division I-FBS level and gauge role conflict. Researchers analyzed satisfaction using descriptive statistics software. Millennial GAs were overall satisfied with their jobs, but least satisfied with their pay. A leading number of millennial GAs found being able to coach football most rewarding about their job (31%). Ninety-three percent of GAs reported that obtaining a Master’s degree was important. Only 61% believed they could complete their graduate program. This research suggests the NCAA and membership institution administrators should review its compensation and educational policies to ensure GAs are compensated and protected in their roles as both a student and a coach.

description: We consider a pentagon chain described by a Hubbard type of model considered under periodic boundary conditions. The system i) is placed in an external magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the cells, and ii) is in a site selective manner under the action of an external electric potential. In these conditions we show in a non-approximated manner that the physical properties of the system can be qualitatively changed. The changes cause first strong modifications of the band structure of the system created by the one-particle part of the Hamiltonian, and second, considerably redraw the emergence domains of ordered phases. We exemplify this by deducing ferromagnetic ground states in the presence of external fields in two different domains of the parameter space.

Republicanism without a republic: political culture in consular France, 1799-1804
Creators: name: Mole, Gregory

Year: 2011

description: This thesis examines Napoleon's engagement with the ideology, language, and practices of the French Revolution to explain social and political developments that ultimately contradicted the period's republican ideals. Revolutionary republicanism provided Napoleon with a compelling ideological basis upon which to construct the consular regime, one that could command popular support and mask his administration's repressive tendencies. As I demonstrate, however, his continued usage of republican practices and concepts in many ways changed the meaning of revolutionary republicanism. In effect, the idioms and rituals of a laicized, republican past were recast to suit the needs of a Gallican, tutelary present. By exploring this dynamic, my work highlights both the significance of the revolutionary tradition within consular politics, and the fundamental malleability of its political ideals.

description: The recent solar minimum and rise phase of solar cycle 24 have been unlike any period since the early 1900s. This article examines some of the properties of sunspot umbrae over the last 17 years with three different instruments on the ground and in space: MDI, HMI and BABO. The distribution of magnetic fields and their evolution over time is shown and reveals that the field distribution in cycle 24 is fundamentally different from that in cycle 23. The annual average umbral magnetic field is then examined for the 17 year observation period and shows a small decrease of 375 Gauss in sunspot magnetic fields over the period 1996 to 2013, but the mean intensity of sunspot umbrae does not vary significantly over this time. A possible issue with sample sizes in a previous study is then explored to explain disagreements in data from two of the source instruments. All three instruments show that the relationship between umbral magnetic fields and umbral intensity agrees with past studies in that the umbral intensity decreases as the field strength increases. This apparent contradiction can be explained by the range of magnetic field values measured for a given umbral intensity being larger than the measured 375 G change in umbral field strength over time.

Antibiotic Resistant Staphyloccus Aureus Dissemination from Hog Farms: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Weng, Chien-Hsiu

description: Research has identified antibiotic-resistant livestock-associated Staphylococcus aureus (LA-SA) in humans, suggesting that animal husbandry is contributing to the global spread of antibiotic resistance. However, the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant LA-SA organisms and the factors contributing to their spread are poorly understood. This review (1) summarizes the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant LA-SA in humans, hogs, and pork products and (2) identifies factors contributing to LA-SA spread. A systematic literature review identified 78 relevant studies. Together, these studies document high prevalence in farm hogs (pooled prevalence: 19%), farm workers (pooled prevalence: 32%), slaughterhouse hogs (pooled prevalence: 24%), and veterinarians (pooled prevalence: 20%). Major risk factors include amount of antibiotic used, frequency and duration of human contact with hogs, large herd sizes, summer season, location downwind from hog farms, and hog farm density. These findings may be useful for modeling antibiotic resistance transmission risks under different hog farming practices.

description: A smart-card-based user authentication scheme for wireless sensor networks (hereafter referred to as a SCA-WSN scheme) is designed to ensure that only users who possess both a smart card and the corresponding password are allowed to gain access to sensor data and their transmissions. Despite many research efforts in recent years, it remains a challenging task to design an efficient SCA-WSN scheme that achieves user anonymity. The majority of published SCA-WSN schemes use only lightweight cryptographic techniques (rather than public-key cryptographic techniques) for the sake of efficiency, and have been demonstrated to suffer from the inability to provide user anonymity. Some schemes employ elliptic curve cryptography for better security but require sensors with strict resource constraints to perform computationally expensive scalar-point multiplications; despite the increased computational requirements, these schemes do not provide user anonymity. In this paper, we present a new SCA-WSN scheme that not only achieves user anonymity but also is efficient in terms of the computation loads for sensors. Our scheme employs elliptic curve cryptography but restricts its use only to anonymous user-to-gateway authentication, thereby allowing sensors to perform only lightweight cryptographic operations. Our scheme also enjoys provable security in a formal model extended from the widely accepted Bellare-Pointcheval-Rogaway (2000) model to capture the user anonymity property and various SCA-WSN specific attacks (e.g., stolen smart card attacks, node capture attacks, privileged insider attacks, and stolen verifier attacks).

Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: Can fruit flies teach us something about the way our senses impact our own aging process? Dr. Christi Gendron believes so, and she uses humor to explain how recent research with Drosophila melanogaster, also known as the common fruit fly, is changing our understanding of the ways in which sensory systems impact the aging process. The processes identified are similar to those found in our own bodies and are the basis for developing therapies that promote healthy aging in humans.
