description: Visual Aids for the blind people is an important subject. Apparently visually impaired individuals get impeded by certain hurdles in everyday life. This work proposes an indoor navigation system for visually impaired people. In particular, the goal of this study is to develop a robust, independent and portable aid to assist a user to navigate familiar as well as unfamiliar areas. The algorithm uses the data from Microsoft Xbox Kinect 360 which makes a 3D map of the indoor areas and detects the depth and estimates the relative distance and angle to an obstacle/human. To ensure the accuracy, Kinect tool is enabled with a colour camera to capture real-time details of surroundings which are then processed accordingly. Besides, the developed aid makes the user aware of environmental changes through a Bluetooth enabled headphones used as audio output device. The trials were conducted on six blindfolded volunteers who successfully navigated across various locations in the university campus such as classrooms, hallways, and stairs. Moreover, the user could also track a particular person through output generated from processed images. Hence, the work suggests a significant improvement for existing visual aids which may be very helpful in customisation as well as the adaptability of these devices.
title: Persönlichkeits- und Teamentwicklung – Förderung psychosozialer Ressourcen im Judo
Creators: name: Liebl, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Journal of Martial Arts Research
Year: 2020

description: Ein Judoka muss nicht nur werfen und kontern, festhalten und sich befreien können. Judokämpfe, Gürtelprüfungen oder Kata-Demonstrationen erfordern Mut, den Glauben an sich selbst und immer wieder auch den Umgang mit Niederlagen. Darüber hinaus wird erwartet, dass man gemäß der Judo-Prinzipien und der Judo-Werte handelt. Ein Training, das entsprechend gestaltet ist, beinhaltet gegenseitige Unterstützung und Verantwortung, die Zusammenarbeit mit Trainer/in und Übungspartner/in sowie die Grundidee, dass im gegeneinander Kämpfen immer ein Miteinander enthalten ist. Zur Bewältigung solcher Anforderungen in Training und Wettkampf benötigt ein Judoka entsprechende „Mittel“, so genannte psychosoziale Ressourcen wie etwa Selbstbewusstsein oder soziale Kompetenzen. Diese sind bei jedem Judoka – ähnlich wie motorische Fähigkeiten – mehr oder weniger ausgeprägt. Das hier vorgestellte Konzept Persönlichkeits- und Teamentwicklung im Judo gibt Trainern konkrete Hilfestellungen zur judospezifischen Förderung psychosozialer Ressourcen.

description: We report on the identification of a new $γ$-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy, SDSS J122222.55+041315.7, which increases the number of known objects of this remarkable but rare type of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to seven. Its optical spectrum, obtained in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, reveals a broad H $β$ emission line with a width (FWHM) of 1734$\pm$104 km s$^{-1}$. This, along with strong optical Fe II multiplets [$R_{4570}=0.9$] and a weak [O III] $λ5007$ emission line, makes the object a typical NLS1. On the other hand, the source exhibits a high radio brightness temperature, rapid infrared variability, and a flat X-ray spectrum extending up to $\sim$200 keV. It is associated with a luminous $γ$-ray source detected significantly with {\it Fermi}/LAT. Correlated variability with other wavebands has not yet been tested. The spectral energy distribution can be well modelled by a one-zone leptonic jet model. This new member is by far the most distant $γ$-ray-emitting NLS1, at a redshift of $z=0.966$.

Centering: A Collaborative Ethnography of the Hillcreek Pottery at Silver Dollar City
Creators: name: Starnes, Sarah Marion
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This thesis explores the disparate yet complementary roles filled by potters at Silver Dollar City (SDC), an 1880s Ozarks theme park in Branson, Missouri. As apprentices, the potters learn a spectrum of skills, kinesthetic through aesthetic. As production potters, they maintain a high output of sellable wares. The potters balance the constraints they see in production (its threats to creativity, individuality, and dialogue with other ceramicists) by claiming the freedoms of studio potters (who value these goals). The potters' ability to demonstrate at the park and participate in its 1880s-Ozarks heritage production sets the SDC potters apart. Understanding how the potters balance or, as potters do, find the center amongst these roles shows the uniqueness of their work. Daily contact with the potters as an apprentice informed my interviews. Following a collaborative ethnographic model, my consultants critiqued my developing understanding of their work from my early research through final drafts.

description: We demonstrate the ability to control and shape the spectro-temporal content of extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulses produced by a seeded free-electron laser (FEL). The control over the spectro-temporal properties of XUV light was achieved by precisely manipulating the linear frequency chirp of the seed laser. Our results agree with existing theory, which allows retrieving the temporal properties (amplitude and phase) of the FEL pulse from measurements of the spectra as a function of the FEL operating parameters. Furthermore, we show the first direct evidence of the full temporal coherence of FEL light and generate Fourier limited pulses by fine-tuning the FEL temporal phase. The possibility to tailor the spectro-temporal content of intense short-wavelength pulses represents the first step towards efficient nonlinear optics in the XUV to X-ray spectral region and will enable precise manipulation of core-electron excitations using the methods of coherent quantum control.

description: Using the Anyon-Hubbard Hamiltonian, we analyze the ground-state properties of anyons in a one-dimensional lattice. To this end we map the hopping dynamics of correlated anyons to an occupation-dependent hopping Bose-Hubbard model using the fractional Jordan-Wigner transformation. In particular, we calculate the quasi-momentum distribution of anyons, which interpolates between Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics. Analytically, we apply a modified Gutzwiller mean-field approach, which goes beyond a classical one by including the influence of the fractional phase of anyons within the many-body wavefunction. Numerically, we use the density-matrix renormalization group by relying on the ansatz of matrix product states. As a result it turns out that the anyonic quasi-momentum distribution reveals both a peak-shift and an asymmetry which mainly originates from the nonlocal string property. In addition, we determine the corresponding quasi-momentum distribution of the Jordan-Wigner transformed bosons, where, in contrast to the hard-core case, we also observe an asymmetry for the soft-core case, which strongly depends on the particle number density.

description: We report the detailed transport, magnetic, thermodynamic properties and theoretical calculation of KBi2 single crystals in superconducting and normal states. KBi2 shows metallic behavior at normal state and enters superconducting state below Tc = 3.573 K. Moreover, KBi2 exhibits low critical fields in all of measurements, field-induced crossover from second to first-order phase transition in specific heat measurement, typical magnetization isotherms of type-I superconductors, and small Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappaGL = 0.611. These results clearly indicate that KB2 is a type-I superconductor with thermodynamic critical field Hc = 234.3(3) Oe.

Second- and Third- Person Perspective Wisdom Advising: resting-state brain activities and Advising

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: Wisdom is the intellectual virtue of considering all possible factors related to a problem, especially relevant individuals’ interests and perspectives. Consistently, wisdom advising is advising individuals in distress after considering different factors, especially different individuals’ interests and perspectives. Previous studies generally adopted a third-person perspective wisdom-advising paradigm. However, Martin Buber argues that there is a fundamental difference between the I-He/She relationship and the I-thou relationship, such that the latter is more equal and authentic than the former. We predicted that second-person perspective advising may be easier for the individuals to derive meanings from their own life experience and sympathize with the advised person, and thus enhance general wisdom conveyed through advising. On the other hand, second-person perspective advising may also make advisors more self-centered and more self-defensive, and thus less wise advising on the problem, as suggested by previous studies on perspective effect on wise reasoning (Grossmann, Brienza, & Bobocel, 2017; Grossmann & Kross, 2014). In this research project, an innovative second-person perspective wisdom-advising paradigm is proposed to investigate the potential differences in neural activity between the second-person perspective and third-person perspective wisdom-advising. Moreover, we will investigate the correlation between General Wisdom conveyed through the second-person perspective advising and the advisors’ Personal Wisdom.

UNEQUAL FRIENDSHIP: ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DIFFERENCES ACROSS THE POLISH-EAST GERMAN OPEN BORDER, 1972-1980
Creators: name: Skalski, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: In 1972, Poland and the German Democratic Republic opened their mutual border to free travel. Although this arrangement worked for some time, tensions arose quickly contributing to the closing of the border in 1980. This thesis explores the economic, political, and social reasons for the malfunctioning of the open border in order to shed light on the relationship between Poland and East Germany in particular, and between society and dictatorship in general. It reveals that differences in economic conditions and ideological engagement in both countries resulted in mass buy-outs of East German goods and transnational contacts of dissidents, which alienated segments of the population and threatened the stability of the system. Seeing open borders as an important element of the “welfare dictatorship,” this study concludes that the GDR was reluctant to close the border again. Only fear of opposition developing in Poland forced the SED to rescind the free-travel agreement.

Year: 2011

description: Since the passing of Title IX, the percentage of female head coaches coaching women's teams has declined from 90% to 42.6%. Women have eleven times more opportunity to play NCAA volleyball than men, yet males still occupy the majority of head coaching positions at the highest levels. The purpose of this study was to compare the head coaching intentions of NCAA Division I assistant volleyball coaches based on gender and to determine what variables significantly explained these intentions. This study confirmed previous findings that male coaches had significantly higher self-efficacy and head coaching intentions than females. A multiple linear regression resulted in a significant model including variables explaining 12.9% of the variance in head coaching intentions. A female only model explained 16.6% of the variance including variables: self-efficacy, level of volleyball played and level of mentoring.

description: Rate theory and DFT calculations of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on MoS2 with Co, Ni and Pt impurities show the significance of dihydrogen (H2*) complex where both hydrogen atoms are interacting with the surface. Stabilization of such a complex affects the competing Volmer-Heyrovsky (direct H2 release) and Volmer-Tafel (H2* intermediate) pathways. The resulting evolution proceeds with a very small overpotential for all dopants ($η$ = 0.1 to 0.2 V) at 25% edge substitution, significantly reduced from the already low $η$ = 0.27 V for the undoped edge. At full edge substitution, Co-MoS2 remains highly active ($η$ = 0.18 V) while Ni- and Pt-MoS2 are deactivated ($η$ = 0.4 to 0.5 V) due to unfavorable interaction with H2*. Instead of the single S-vacancy, the site of intrinsic activity in the basal plane was found to be the undercoordinated central Mo-atom in threefold S-vacancy configurations, enabling hydrogen evolution with $η$ = 0.52 V via a H2* intermediate. The impurity atoms interact favorably with the intrinsic sulfur vacancies on the basal plane, stabilizing but simultaneously deactivating the triple vacancy configuration. The calculated shifts in overpotential are consistent with reported measurements, and the dependence on doping level may explain variations in experimental observations.

description: During solar flares a large amount of electrons with energies greater than 20 keV is generated with a production rate of typically $10^{36}$ s$^{-1}$. A part of them is able to propagate along open magnetic field lines through the corona into interplanetary space. During their travel they emit radio radiation which is observed as type III radio bursts in the frequency range from 100 MHz down to 10 kHz by the WAVES radio spectrometer aboard the spacecraft WIND, for instance. From the drift rates of these bursts in dynamic radio spectra the radial propagation velocity $V_r$ of the type III burst exciting electrons is derived by employing a newly developed density model of the heliosphere. Calculations show that the radio radiation is emitted by electrons with different $V_r$ and therefore by different electrons of the initially produced electron distribution.

description: School belonging is an active area of research. While there is considerable research on the predictors of school belonging, there is less evidence about the influence of school belonging on post-school outcomes. School belonging may have indirect effects on post-school outcomes via its influence on school completion. In addition, low school belonging may be a precursor to adult social exclusion. Fragmentation of social ties within school (i.e., low school belonging) that link youth to social structures may result in youth who find themselves Not in Employment, Education, or Training (NEET). This research seeks to explore this possibility and estimate the relationship between school belonging and NEET in two representative samples of Australian youth.

description: In vehicular communications, traffic-related information should be spread over the network as quickly as possible to maintain a safer transportation system. This motivates us to develop more efficient information propagation schemes. In this paper, we propose a novel virtual-MIMO-enabled information dissemination scheme, in which the vehicles opportunistically form virtual antenna arrays to boost the transmission range and therefore accelerate information propagation along the highway. We model the information propagation process as a renewal reward process and investigate in detail the \emph{Information Propagation Speed} (IPS) of the proposed scheme. The corresponding closed-form IPS is derived, which shows that the IPS increases cubically with the vehicle density but will ultimately converge to a constant upper bound. Moreover, increased mobility also facilitates the information spreading by offering more communication opportunities. However, the limited network density essentially determines the bottleneck in information spreading. Extensive simulations are carried out to verify our analysis. We also show that the proposed scheme exhibits a significant IPS gain over its conventional counterpart.

description: The topological property of boson-fermion mixture in a one-dimensional optical superlattice is studied and the topological insulating phase of interacting boson-fermion mixture characterized by a nontrivial Berry phase is identified. The single-particle and boson-fermion exchanging excitation spectrums are calculated and we identify the boson-fermion exchanging excitation as the gapless topological excitation in the topological phase of the mixture. The different kinds of excitations are explained explicitly from the competition among the bulk gap, the on-site boson-boson and boson-fermion interactions. The Hamiltonian studied has been partly realized in the state-of-art cold atom experiments, and the results are very relevant to the experiments.

A Quality Improvement Nurse Led Initiative to Decrease the Rate of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections at a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital
Creators: name: Mawoneke, Jacqueline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are challenging to manage in long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs). Patients in these facilities need long hospital stays because they have complex medical needs, which make them susceptible to infection. They are also likely to be admitted with a urinary catheter lengthening their catheter duration, which increases their risk of acquiring CAUTI. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to implement an educational program for nurses and nursing assistants in a LTACH and evaluate the changes in the (1) rates of proper documentation of CAUTI rounding components by the infection control nurse and (2) CAUTI rates after the teaching. Methods: Education on the facility policy and procedure and the catheter discontinuation protocol was provided to bedside RNs and CNAs at the annual skills fair. CAUTI rounding was conducted weekly with the benchmark goal of 80% to indicate compliance with measures. Results: Results from this project indicated statistical significance in the differences between CAUTI rounding documentation before and after the intervention (p<.001 for catheter necessity, statlock and bag placed appropriately and between pre- and post-test results from staff education for both RNs and CNAs). Conclusion: There is limited data on effective prevention strategies to use in LTACHs. Decreasing the rate of CAUTI in these patients will have positive outcomes such as, decreased hospital costs, shorter hospital lengths of stay, and decreased incidence of complications of antibiotic use.

description: Developers usually use TPLs to facilitate the development of the projects to avoid reinventing the wheels, however, the vulnerable TPLs indeed cause severe security threats. The majority of existing research only considered whether projects used vulnerable TPLs but neglected whether the vulnerable code of the TPLs was indeed used by the projects, which inevitably results in false positives and further requires additional patching efforts and maintenance costs. To address this, we propose VAScanner, which can effectively identify vulnerable root methods causing vulnerabilities in TPLs and further identify all vulnerable APIs of TPLs used by Java projects. Specifically, we first collect the initial patch methods from the patch commits and extract accurate patch methods by employing a patch-unrelated sifting mechanism, then we further identify the vulnerable root methods for each vulnerability by employing an augmentation mechanism. Based on them, we leverage backward call graph analysis to identify all vulnerable APIs for each vulnerable TPL version and construct a database consisting of 90,749 (2,410,779 with library versions) vulnerable APIs with 1.45% false positive proportion with a 95% CI of [1.31%, 1.59%] from 362 TPLs with 14,775 versions. Our experiments show VAScanner eliminates 5.78% false positives and 2.16% false negatives owing to the proposed sifting and augmentation mechanisms. Besides, it outperforms the state-of-the-art method-level tool in analyzing direct dependencies, Eclipse Steady, achieving more effective detection of vulnerable APIs. Furthermore, in a large-scale analysis of 3,147 projects using vulnerable TPLs, we find only 21.51% of projects (with 1.83% false positive proportion and a 95% CI of [0.71%, 4.61%]) were threatened through vulnerable APIs by vulnerable TPLs, demonstrating that VAScanner can potentially reduce false positives significantly.

description: Non-classical state generation is an important component throughout experimental quantum science for quantum information applications and probing the fundamentals of physics. Here, we investigate permutations of quantum non-demolition quadrature measurements and single quanta addition/subtraction to prepare quantum superposition states in bosonic systems. The performance of each permutation is quantified and compared using several different non-classicality criteria including Wigner negativity, non-classical depth, and optimal fidelity with a coherent state superposition. We also compare the performance of our protocol using squeezing instead of a quadrature measurement and find that the purification provided by the quadrature measurement can significantly increase the non-classicality generated. Our approach is ideally suited for implementation in light-matter systems such as quantum optomechanics and atomic spin ensembles, and offers considerable robustness to initial thermal occupation.

PARENT EMOTION COACHING AND ADOLESCENT ADJUSTMENT
Creators: name: Smith, Ruth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: The current study took a novel approach to examining the parent emotion socialization (PES) construct of emotion coaching by aligning these behaviors along characteristics of warm validation (unstructured emotion coaching; UEC) and active problem solving (structured emotion coaching; SEC). The study utilized experience sampling methodology and an observational coding scheme to examine the impact of UEC and SEC behaviors on adolescent outcomes in 65 parent-adolescent dyads. Disaggregating the emotion coaching construct proved useful for more nuanced prediction of adolescent emotion regulation, internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Results showed that UEC and SEC were uncorrelated, independent components of emotion coaching PES. Higher UEC was the sole predictor of fewer adolescent reports of internalizing symptoms, whereas SEC predicted fewer parent reports of adolescent externalizing symptoms. Additionally, emotion regulation mediated the relationship between higher SEC and fewer adolescent reports of internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Potential implications of these findings and future directions are considered.

From temporal expressions to symptom onset date identification in emergency department notes: a temporal information extraction process
Creators: name: Mahalingam, Deepika
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: A patient's visit to the Emergency Department (ED) starts with the triage nurse making a note of the patient's account of the reason for the visit. This triage note (TN) contains symptoms the patient is suffering from, prior treatments if any, related events and sometimes the nurse's evaluation of the situation. Public health officials may use these TNs to identify features of disease outbreaks. Here we present a system that processes triage notes, producing a timeline of events leading to the ED visit and identifying patterns in occurrence of symptoms across patients. This system is designed as an initial step in the process of automatically extracting signals/symptoms defining a disease outbreak based on the details (symptoms and temporal information) associated with ED visits.

description: In this work we present a determinant expression for the domain-wall boundary condition partition function of rational (XXX) Richardson-Gaudin models which, in addition to $N-1$ spins $\frac{1}{2}$, contains one arbitrarily large spin $S$. The proposed determinant representation is written in terms of a set of variables which, from previous work, are known to define eigenstates of the quantum integrable models belonging to this class as solutions to quadratic Bethe equations. Such a determinant can be useful numerically since systems of quadratic equations are much simpler to solve than the usual highly non-linear Bethe equations. It can therefore offer significant gains in stability and computation speed.

description: Early-type dwarf galaxies constitute a prevalent population in the central regions of rich groups and clusters in the local Universe. These low-luminosity and low-mass stellar systems play a fundamental role in the assembly of the luminous galaxies observed today, according to the $Λ$CDM hierarchical theory. The origin of early-type dwarfs has been linked to the transformation of disk galaxies interacting with the intracluster medium, especially in dense environments. However, the existence of low-luminosity early-type galaxies in low-density environments presents a challenge to this scenario. This study presents a comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the early-type dwarf galaxy CGCG014-074 using deep GEMINI+GMOS data, focusing on its peculiarities and evolutionary implications. CGCG014-074 exhibits distinct features, including a rotating inner disk, an extended stellar formation with a quiescent phase since about 2 Gyr ago, and the presence of boxy isophotes. From the kinematic analysis, we confirm CGCG014-074 as a nucleated early-type dwarf galaxy with embedded disk. The study of its stellar population parameters using different methods provides significant insights into the galaxy's evolutionary history. These results show an old and metal-poor nucleus ($\sim 9.3$ Gyr and $\mathrm{[Z/H]}\sim-0.84$ dex), while the stellar disk is younger ($\sim4.4$ Gyr) with a higher metallicity ($\mathrm{[Z/H]}\sim-0.40$ dex). These distinctive features collectively position CGCG014-074 as a likely building block galaxy that has evolved passively throughout its history.

Determinants of a Dental Home in Early Head Start Families
Creators: name: Kearney, Rhonda Louise

Year: 2007

description: The concept of a dental home (DH) is new to dentistry. We sought to identify determinants of a family DH, including the role of Early Head Start (EHS), as measured by the UNC Family Dental Home Index (FDHI). A cross-sectional survey was undertaken of NC-EHS families. The 66 item, self-completed questionnaire for parents solicited knowledge, attitudes and practices about dental health. Our dependent variable was the recently developed 22-item FDHI. The FDHI includes six domains of care: accessible, usual source, family-centered, comprehensive, compassionate and culturally competent. The overall index is the mean of the domains (scored 0-100). Higher scores suggest more characteristics associated with a DH. Major predictor and socio-demographic variables were analyzed. Bivariate and multivariate Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analyses were completed using STATA 9.0. The results showed that the EHS program, dental knowledge, trust in dentists, better dental health status and dental neglect play an important role in establishing a DH for EHS families.

description: In this paper we show that the phase mixing of continuum Alfvén waves and/or continuum slow waves in magnetic structures of the solar atmosphere as, e.g., coronal arcades, can create the illusion of wave propagation across the magnetic field. This phenomenon could be erroneously interpreted as fast magnetosonic waves. The cross-field propagation due to phase mixing of continuum waves is apparent because there is no real propagation of energy across the magnetic surfaces. We investigate the continuous Alfvén and slow spectra in 2D Cartesian equilibrium models with a purely poloidal magnetic field. We show that apparent superslow propagation across the magnetic surfaces in solar coronal structures is a consequence of the existence of continuum Alfvén waves and continuum slow waves that naturally live on those structures and phase mix as time evolves. The apparent cross-field phase velocity is related to the spatial variation of the local Alfvén/slow frequency across the magnetic surfaces and is slower than the Alfvén/sound velocities for typical coronal conditions. Understanding the nature of the apparent cross-field propagation is important for the correct analysis of numerical simulations and the correct interpretation of observations.

Dynamics of the Grinding Wheel
Creators: name: Thyer, Gerald Elliott
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1975

description: The thesis commences with a review of the published work on high speed grinding and a description of the nature and structure of grinding wheels is detailed. The technique of metal removal during grinding is discussed and a number of photographs of the swarf produced during different stages of grinding are shown. A method of mounting electrical resistance strain gauges on grinding wheels is described together with the technique developed of cutting the grinding wheel to produce the test pieces required for the determination of the mechanical characteristics of the grinding wheel materials. The tests of mechanical characteristics and the results obtained are detailed. The equipment, instrumentation and procedure for measuring the dynamic strains in grinding wheels are specified together with the method of mounting the grinding wheels on the machine for the tests to be carried out. The method and results of determining the clamping force exerted by the flanges on the grinding wheel is explained. The results of the tests to determine the stresses, caused by centrifugal action, in grinding wheels clamped with different sizes of flanges are given, and the theoretical stress distribution in the grinding wheel is studied with the help of a computer program. The technique and the results of tests to determine the stresses, caused by centrifugal action, in a duralumin disc clamped by different size flanges and also in a non-clamped mode are given. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical results which indicates the advantages of clamping the grinding wheel. Between flanges and that the safety factor when using grinding wheels clamped by large flanges is greater than that generally assumed. The tests using the photo-elastic technique to determine the stress pattern in a wheel subject to two systems of forces are described. The effect of the internal shape of a guard on a grinding machine in retaining the sections of a grinding wheel which burst in use are examined. In the two appendixes the theory of electrical resistance strain gauges and photo-elasticity are detailed in some length.
