The Effect of Momentary Changes of Individual Subjective Socioeconomic Status on Preferences for Redistributive Policies
Creators: name: Mahony, Olivia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Support for redistributive policies is often thought to be stable over time. However, the current
research seeks to investigate whether situational influences could lead to changes in preferences
for redistribution. Because economic self-interest is a predictor of policy preference, we were
interested in investigating if subjective understandings of social standing could change support
for redistributive policies. We manipulated individuals’ subjective SES and then tested how this
influenced attitudes towards redistributive policies. We found that subjective SES did affect
policy preferences; participants in the high subjective SES condition were less likely to support
redistributive policies than participants in the low subjective SES condition. This suggests that
perceived self-interest influences voting behaviors. Furthermore, our manipulation affected
participants’ self-report of how conservative they are and attitudes towards social policy. Thus,
voting behaviors are not as stable as previously believed. Rather, feeling relatively richer or
poorer effects policy preference.

description: We present a direct lattice gauge theory computation that, without using dualities, demonstrates that the entanglement entropy of Yang-Mills theories with arbitrary gauge group $G$ contains a generic logarithmic term at sufficiently weak coupling $e$. In two spatial dimensions, for a region of linear size $r$, this term equals $\frac{1}{2} \dim(G) \log\left(e^2 r\right)$ and it dominates the universal part of the entanglement entropy. Such logarithmic terms arise from the entanglement of the softest mode in the entangling region with the environment. For Maxwell theory in two spatial dimensions, our results agree with those obtained by dualizing to a compact scalar with spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Spirituality and Psychological Well-Being: The Mediating Role Pessimism
Creators: name: Basileyo, Alexie
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: Psychological well-being has been widely studied in different areas and contexts. Literature showed its well-knit nexus to spirituality. Researchers, psychologists, and mental health professionals, however, are still puzzled how these two concepts work. To explore more on their nature, studies suggest factors that could explain the relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being. Thus, this research hypothesized that spirituality can influence psychological well-being through pessimism. By utilizing descriptive and explanatory correlational method through Hayes Process Macro 3.0, the researcher examined undergraduate students (n=222). Four vital results were derived from the study. First, it revealed that spirituality acted as a significant positive predictor of psychological well-being (β = 0.64, t = 9.80, p< 0.00). Second, it showed that spirituality acted as a significant negative predictor of pessimism (β = -0.80, t = -7.66, p < 0.00). Third, pessimism was found to be a significant negative predictor of psychological well-being (β = -0.17, t = -4.11, p < 0.00). Fourth and the last, this study showed support that the relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being cannot be fully explained by the influence of pessimism (β = 0.51, t = 7.13, p < 0.00). Pessimism slightly affects the relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being rendering partial mediation. The results of the present study support previous assumptions on the relationship between spirituality and psychological well-being. Results of this study may be applied in different contexts as well as the implications related to well-being and mental health. Directions for future research are also discussed.

description: Some of the most arduous and error-prone aspects of precision resummed calculations are related to the partonic hard process, having nothing to do with the resummation. In particular, interfacing to parton-distribution functions, combining various channels, and performing the phase space integration can be limiting factors in completing calculations. Conveniently, however, most of these tasks are already automated in many Monte Carlo programs, such as MadGraph, Alpgen or Sherpa. In this paper, we show how such programs can be used to produce distributions of partonic kinematics with associated color structures representing the hard factor in a resummed distribution. These distributions can then be used to weight convolutions of jet, soft and beam functions producing a complete resummed calculation. In fact, only around 1000 unweighted events are necessary to produce precise distributions. A number of examples and checks are provided, including $e^+e^-$ two- and four-jet event shapes, $n$-jettiness and jet-mass related observables at hadron colliders. Attached code can be used to modify MadGraph to export the relevant leading-order hard functions and color structures for arbitrary processes.

description: Quantum bits (qubits) are at the heart of quantum information processing schemes. Currently, solid-state qubits, and in particular the superconducting ones, seem to satisfy the requirements for being the building blocks of viable quantum computers, since they exhibit relatively long coherence times, extremely low dissipation, and scalability. The possibility of achieving quantum coherence in macroscopic circuits comprising Josephson junctions, envisioned by Legett in the 1980's, was demonstrated for the first time in a charge qubit; since then, the exploitation of macroscopic quantum effects in low-capacitance Josephson junction circuits allowed for the realization of several kinds of superconducting qubits. Furthermore, coupling between qubits has been successfully achieved that was followed by the construction of multiple-qubit logic gates and the implementation of several algorithms. Here it is demonstrated that induced qubit lattice coherence as well as two remarkable quantum coherent optical phenomena, i.e., self-induced transparency and Dicke-type superradiance, may occur during light-pulse propagation in quantum metamaterials comprising superconducting charge qubits. The generated qubit lattice pulse forms a compound "quantum breather" that propagates in synchrony with the electromagnetic pulse. The experimental confirmation of such effects in superconducting quantum metamaterials may open a new pathway to potentially powerful quantum computing.

Finally, a parallel iterative algorithm for two finite families of variational inequalities and nonexpansive mappings is established.

description: Understanding, predicting and eventually improving the resistance to fracture of silicate materials is of primary importance to design new glasses that would be tougher, while retaining their transparency. However, the atomic mechanism of the fracture in amorphous silicate materials is still a topic of debate. In particular, there is some controversy about the existence of ductility at the nano-scale during the crack propagation. Here, we present simulations of the fracture of three archetypical silicate glasses using molecular dynamics. We show that the methodology that is used provide realistic values of fracture energy and toughness. In addition, the simulations clearly suggest that silicate glasses can show different degrees of ductility, depending on their composition.

description: We present observations of a new phenomenon in pulsating white dwarf stars: large-amplitude outbursts at timescales much longer than the pulsation periods. The cool (Teff = 11,010 K), hydrogen-atmosphere pulsating white dwarf PG 1149+057 was observed nearly continuously for more than 78.8 d by the extended Kepler mission in K2 Campaign 1. The target showed 10 outburst events, recurring roughly every 8 d and lasting roughly 15 hr, with maximum flux excursions up to 45% in the Kepler bandpass. We demonstrate that the outbursts affect the pulsations and therefore must come from the white dwarf. Additionally, we argue that these events are not magnetic reconnection flares, and are most likely connected to the stellar pulsations and the relatively deep surface convection zone. PG 1149+057 is now the second cool pulsating white dwarf to show this outburst phenomenon, after the first variable white dwarf observed in the Kepler mission, KIC 4552982. Both stars have the same effective temperature, within the uncertainties, and are among the coolest known pulsating white dwarfs of typical mass. These outbursts provide fresh observational insight into the red edge of the DAV instability strip and the eventual cessation of pulsations in cool white dwarfs.

The Effect of a High Fat Diet on the Brain Following HSV-1 Infection

Year: 2015

description: Children from low socioeconomic status have an increased risk of developing anxiety.
Additionally, both obesity and herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection have an increased
prevalence among children from lower socioeconomic status, and may be environmental factors
that contribute to the development of anxiety disorders. This study aimed to determine if a high
fat diet following HSV-1 infection increased inflammation in the hippocampus and altered the
phenotypes of monocytes in the blood. Female C57BL/6 mice were placed on a 10% LF diet for
one week prior to intranasal HSV-1 or mock infection. Mice were randomized to either the 45%
HF diet or remain on the LF diet 14 days post infection. Mice were sacrificed at either 4-5
months or 9 months, and hippocampus samples were obtained. RNA extraction, reverse
transcription and qPCR were performed to examine expression of IL-6, IL-1β, TNFα, MHCII
and CCL2. Flow cytometry was utilized to determine the percentage of CCR2+ and Cx3CR1+
monocytes in the blood. The infected LF and HF groups saw a significant decrease in IL-6
expression with age. Expression of the inflammatory monocyte CCR2+ was highest in the
lymphocytes of young, LF uninfected mice, and significantly lower in the older, HF infected
group. In conclusion, the level of inflammation seen in these female mice was lower than that
seen in the larger study using male mice, suggesting that other factors, such as weight,
development of metabolic syndrome, or estrogen interactions may affect neuroinflammation.
Opening the Door Outside for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder through Inclusive Experiential Education
Creators: name: Ford, Angelica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Two bodies of research currently exist, one focusing on experiential education techniques and the outdoor environment, and the other examining the education of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The present study seeks to bridge the two distinct bodies together to discover how they can inform each other for better and more inclusive interventions for students with ASD. Existing research reviewed studied the broad categories of ASD characteristics, animal assisted therapy (AAT), gardening interventions, and outdoor programming generally. The literature was analyzed, and as a result, four guidelines were developed as suggested elements to include in programs and interventions: provide holistic skill building, involve Bronfenbrenner’s spheres, maintain a low ratio, and offer challenge and support. Potential applications of the guidelines were suggested in the discussion. These guidelines can be beneficial in developing programs, program selection, and in professional development. The research also supported the initial belief that the outdoor environment paired with experiential techniques is a place of positive development for students with ASD. Limitations of the research are publication bias, cost of implementation, lack of real world application, and supplementary nature of interventions. Future research is needed to establish whether these guidelines can improve outcomes when implemented, and to address gaps in literature including skills studied, demographics studied, longer-term interventions, and more research on the microbiome.

description: We study the associated production of a charged Higgs boson with a bottom quark and a light quark at the LHC via p p \to H^\pm\,b\,j in the Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs). Using the effective W approximation, we show that there is exact cancellation among various Feynman diagrams in high energy limit. This may imply that the production of charged Higgs can be significantly enhanced in the presence of large mass differences among the neutral Higgs bosons via W^\pm-Higgs fusion in the p p \to H^\pm\,b\,j process. Particularly, we emphasize the potential enhancement due to a light pseudoscalar boson $A$, which is still allowed by the current data by which we explicitly calculate the allowed regions in (M_A,\,\tanβ) plane, and show that the production cross section can be as large as 0.1 pb for large $\tanβ$. We also show that the transverse momentum distribution of the b quark can potentially distinguish the W^\pm-A fusion diagram from the top diagram. Finally, we point out further enhancement when we go beyond the 2HDMs.

A Review of the Literature: The Role of Tranexamic Acid in decreasing Maternal Mortality through its Contribution to the Prevention and Treatment of Postpartum Hemorrhage
Creators: name: Ross, Taylor
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death both worldwide and in the United States. The rate of PPH has risen from 7.2 deaths in 1987 to 22 deaths in 2014 per 100,000 live births. The aim of this paper is to review the current literature on using tranexamic acid as a method of treatment and prevention of PPH, to see if tranexamic acid is associated with decreased maternal mortality, and to make suggestions about changing the current recommendations for treatment and prevention of PPH. Twenty-three articles were chosen to be included in this paper. After reviewing the articles chosen, the evidence suggests that prophylactic use of tranexamic acid for PPH reduces blood loss, the need for transfusion, and the incidence of PPH. As for treatment, the evidence suggests that tranexamic acid is an effective treatment for PPH, especially when used as early as possible after diagnosis. WHO has made no recommendations about using tranexamic prophylactically and only recommends the use of TA after uterotonics fail to treat PPH. Therefore, the evidence suggests that changes to the recommendations, such as using TA prophylactically and giving TA as treatment immediately after a diagnosis, should be considered.

description: Dependence of the energy of ions accelerated during interaction of the laser pulse obliquelly incident on the thin foil target on the laser polarization is studied experimentally and theoretically. We found that the ion energy being maximal for the p-polarization gradually decreases when the pulse becomes s-polarized. The experimentally found dependences of the ion energy are explained by invoking the anomalous electron heating which results in high electrostatic potential formation at the target surface. Anomalous heating of electrons beyond the energy of quiver motion in the laser field is described within the framework of theoretical model of driven oscillator with a step-like nonlinearity. We have demonstrated that the electron anomalous heating can be realized in two regimes: nonlinear resonance and stochastic heating, depending on the extent of stochasticity. We have found the accelerated ion energy scaling determined by the laser intensity, pulse duration, polarization angle and incident angle.

Year: 2015

description: In analogy to the first law of thermodynamics, the increase in entanglement entropy $δS$ of a conformal field theory (CFT) is proportional to the increase in energy, $δE$, of the subsystem divided by an effective entanglement temperature, $T_E$. Extending this analogy, we study entanglement entropy when the subsystem is perturbed by applying an external field, expressed as a coupling to a local marginal operator in the CFT. We show that the resulting entropy change is associated with a change in the entanglement temperature itself, leading to an equation analogous to the Clausius relation. Using AdS/CFT duality we develop a relationship between a perturbation in the local entanglement temperature, $δT_E(x)$ of the CFT and the perturbation of the bulk AdS metric. Using the AdS$_3$ minimal surface as a probe, we can construct bulk metric perturbations from an exact numerical computation of the entanglement temperature in a two dimensional $c=1$ boundary theory deformed by a marginal perturbation.

Year: 2014

description: This study gains perspective from current women's collegiate rugby team leaders on elevating club teams to the varsity level. USA Rugby supports the elevation initiative and has invested time and resources to the cause, yet conversion rates remain low. Using Qualtrics software, a survey was distributed to the population of women’s rugby club student-leaders to gauge interest in and awareness of the NCAA sport elevation process. The data analyzed to assess interest, awareness, perceived benefits and drawbacks of NCAA sanctioning as well as club teams’ goals and values. While a majority of respondents expressed interest in becoming a varsity program, awareness of varsity application processes was lacking. The data also indicated that teams perceive NCAA status to bring tangible benefits, but place a very high value on team dynamics, upon which varsity status may have a more detrimental effect.

description: In this project, across four tasks, children’s metacognitive monitoring skills will be assessed directly (i.e. as they pertain to a specific task) using methods that are commonly used for measuring metacognitive skills in children. In two computer-based, highly structured tasks children will be prompted to provide monitoring judgements after each trial and the accuracy of these judgements will be calculated. The structure of these tasks is similar, but the tasks differ as one task is a working memory task and the other task is an inhibitory control task. Children’s spontaneous monitoring behaviours will be assessed using observational coding of their behaviour as they complete two puzzle tasks. That is, children will participate in two quasi-naturalistic tasks and their spontaneous monitoring behaviour during these tasks will be coded. On one hand, we will examine the association between children’s monitoring skills when measured in two tasks assessed in the same context and with the same type of measurement approach (i.e. in the two computerised tasks, and in the two quasi-naturalistic tasks). On the other hand, we will examine the association between children’s monitoring skills in different contexts assessed with two different measurement approaches (i.e. in the computerised tasks and in the quasi-naturalistic tasks). This document gives some theoretical background to the project, includes our research questions, describes our methods and procedure, as well as our planned data analysis.

description: Background Remote cognitive assessments are increasingly used with a rising popularity of teleneuropsychology. Here, we evaluated the performance of the remotely administered Oxford Cognitive Screen (Tele-OCS), in adult stroke survivors compared to in-person administration. Methods Forty stroke survivors (M age = 69.30, SD = 10.44; sex = 30% female) completed the in-person and remote version of the OCS approximately 30 days apart, with different trained examiners. The order of administration was counterbalanced. Cohen’s d estimates were used to compare performance between modalities. Results We found that the proportion of subtasks impaired did not differ across modalities. With regards to raw scores, only the picture naming and executive score were found to be statistically different though the extent was minimal (<1 point difference on average), not affecting impairment classifications. Conclusions The remote OCS classified cognitive impairments in a comparable way to the in-person version. The validation of the Tele-OCS, allows for remote assessment to increase accessibility and pragmatically aid in addressing the clinical need for stroke-specific cognitive screening in a wider population.

description: Description of the condition Nausea and vomiting are common presenting complaints in the Emergency Department(ED). Nausea is an unpleasant painless subjective feeling that one will imminently vomit (1), while vomiting is an involuntary forceful expulsion of the content of one’s stomach through the mouth. Vomiting is an objective and physical event, while nausea is a subjective event. The causes of nausea and vomiting are diverse and range from physiologic to pathologic causes such as gastrointestinal, vestibular, CNS disorders, metabolic, medications and toxins. Nausea and vomiting can be the primary reason for patients attending the ED, and in some, there may be an underlying cause for their nausea and vomiting, which may be related to the causes listed above. Nausea and vomiting can be complicated by electrolyte disturbance, dehydration, aspiration, Mallory Weiss syndrome and Boerhaave's syndrome(2, 3). Description of the intervention In the ED, managing nausea and vomiting involves recognising the cause and correcting the consequences and complications(4, 5). Antiemetics are commonly prescribed for undifferentiated nausea and vomiting in the Emergency Department setting, although there is little consensus as to optimum management. There are different classes of medication used for nausea and vomiting, and these include: (1) Histamine receptor antagonists- e.g Dimenhydrinate, Diphenhydramine, Hydroxyzine, Meclizine. (2) Muscarinic receptor antagonists- e.g Scopolamine (3) Dopamine receptor antagonists- e.g Domepridone, Metoclopramide (4) Phenothiazines- e.g Prochlorperazine. (5) Serotonin antagonists- e.g Ondansetron, Granisetron. (6) Butyrophenones- e.g Droperidol . (7) Neurokinin1 receptor antagonists- e.g Aprepitant, Rolapitant (8) Mixed – e.g Promethazine. The most commonly used antiemetics in the ED include Ondansetron, Metoclopramide and Prochlorperazine. Ondansetron is considered a 1st line agent due to the relatively small risk of side effects and perceived efficacy though there is a small risk of QT prolongation with its use (6, 7). Metoclopramide has prokinetic properties and is non-sedating but can cause extrapyramidal side effects (i.e undesired adverse reaction of some medications causing involuntary movements that cannot be controlled).(7) Prochlorperazine causes less sedation than other phenothiazines but also has extrapyramidal side effects (8).

description: Objective. To assess participants’ perceptions of the Teaching and Learning Curriculum (TLC)
program and identify whether their current careers included teaching as a component.
Design. The University of North Carolina (UNC) TLC program was started in 2009 to expose
participants to careers in academia. The program was designed to develop participant’s teaching
abilities.
Assessment. A survey was sent to all previous participants of the program with a response rate of
77.2%. Of these, 62.2% reported teaching a class prior to program enrollment. When asked if
teaching was part of their career after completion of the program, 77.5% reported that it was a
part. In regards to their current position, 31.7% reported having a job in academia. For career
impact, 92% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that the program enhanced their teaching
skills and 93% agreed or strongly agreed the program was beneficial to their career.
Conclusions. Overall participants perceived the TLC program to be beneficial to their careers.

description: Following our preregistered design and hypotheses, we found interesting results in the second experiment. Thus, we have decided to conduct a third experiment following the simpler design used by Marotta et al. (2018), with the addition of a peripheral visual cue 100 ms before the target onset and, in an alternative block, an alert sound 450 ms before the target onset.

description: We propose and analyze sequential design methods for the problem of ranking several response surfaces. Namely, given $L \ge 2$ response surfaces over a continuous input space $\cal X$, the aim is to efficiently find the index of the minimal response across the entire $\cal X$. The response surfaces are not known and have to be noisily sampled one-at-a-time. This setting is motivated by stochastic control applications and requires joint experimental design both in space and response-index dimensions. To generate sequential design heuristics we investigate stepwise uncertainty reduction approaches, as well as sampling based on posterior classification complexity. We also make connections between our continuous-input formulation and the discrete framework of pure regret in multi-armed bandits. To model the response surfaces we utilize kriging surrogates. Several numerical examples using both synthetic data and an epidemics control problem are provided to illustrate our approach and the efficacy of respective adaptive designs.

description: प्रस्तुत लेख राष्ट्रवाद की विश्लेषणात्मक व्याख्या करता है। सामान्य अर्थों में राष्ट्र और राष्ट्रवाद यूरोप से जोड़कर देखा जाता है और अधिकतर लेख एवं पुस्तकें या तो यूरोपियन राष्ट्रवाद की व्याख्या करतीं हैं या यूरोपियन राष्ट्रवाद को किसी देश के परिप्रेक्ष्य में रखकर देखतीं है। विचारक यूरोप के राष्ट्रवाद को सार्वभौमिक मानकर अध्ययन एकांगी अध्ययन करते हैं, यहीं से ये जानना आवश्यक हो जाता है के क्या राष्ट्रवाद की यूरोपियन अवधारणा समस्त देशों पर एक समान रूप से लागू की जा सकती है? इसी प्रश्न का उत्तर जानने के लिए प्रस्तुत लेख भारतीय राष्ट्रवाद का अध्ययन करता है और इसकी तुलना यूरोपियन राष्ट्रवाद से करता है। अंत लेख ये जानने का प्रयास करता है के क्या यूरोप के राष्ट्रवाद की अवधारणा सार्वभौमिक है या नहीं, क्या यूरोप के राष्ट्रवाद को राष्ट्रवाद कहना उचित है? और भारतीय राष्ट्रवाद यूरोप के राष्टवाद से कितना अलग और अतुलनीय है।
Clinical outcomes with rapid detection of methicillin-resistant and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus isolates from routine blood cultures

description: Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of bacteremia with substantial impact on morbidity and mortality. Because of increasing rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin has become the standard empiric therapy. However, beta-lactam antibiotics remain the best treatment choice for methicillin- susceptible strains. Placing patients quickly on optimal therapy is one goal of antimicrobial stewardship.
This retrospective, observational, single-center study compared 33 control patients utilizing only traditional full susceptibility methodology to 22 case patients utilizing rapid methodology with CHROMagar medium for detection and differentiation of methicillin-resistant and methicillin- susceptible Staphylococcus aureus strains hours before reporting full susceptibilities. Time to targeted therapy was statistically significantly different between control patients (mean 56.5 ± 13.6 hours) and case patients (44.3 ± 17.9 hours) (p=0.006). Intensive care unit status, time of day results emerged, and patient age did not make a difference in time to targeted therapy, either singularly or in combination. Neither length of stay (p=0.61) nor survival (p=1.0) was statistically significantly different.
Rapid testing yielded a significant result with a difference of 12.2 hours in time to targeted therapy. However, there is still room for improvement as the difference in time to susceptibility test result between the full traditional methodology and CHROMagar was even larger (26.5 hours). This study supports the hypothesis that rapid testing plays a role in antimicrobial stewardship by getting patients on targeted therapy faster.

description: There are many leaders who have been much influential in Indian politics throughout history. Gandhi, due to his dedication to human principles and a way of life, would unquestionably rank at the top of any list of eaders. Gandhi's philosophy has had an impact on people from all walks of life even 60 years after his departure. This research aims to comprehend the beliefs and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi as well as the ways in which his speeches affected the public. Gandhi's worth and ideas have never been in doubt, but whether or not they are applicable now has always been up for debate.The popularity of a 2006 Bollywood film which is centred on a man named "Munnabhai" who adopts "Gandhism" and practices his values to reconcile, negotiate, and win over hearts, gave this phenomena a new name: Gandhigiri. This is the first case of its kind, and it contains a wealth of information for the masses to grasp and comprehend the lessons Gandhi and his philosophy teach.

description: Classical gradient systems have a linear relation between rates and driving forces. In generalized gradient systems we allow for arbitrary relations derived from general non-quadratic dissipation potentials. This paper describes two natural origins for these structures. A first microscopic origin of generalized gradient structures is given by the theory of large-deviation principles. While Markovian diffusion processes lead to classical gradient structures, Poissonian jump processes give rise to cosh-type dissipation potentials. A second origin arises via a new form of convergence, that we call EDP-convergence. Even when starting with classical gradient systems, where the dissipation potential is a quadratic functional of the rate, we may obtain a generalized gradient system in the evolutionary $Γ$-limit. As examples we treat (i) the limit of a diffusion equation having a thin layer of low diffusivity, which leads to a membrane model, and (ii) the limit of diffusion over a high barrier, which gives a reaction-diffusion system.

A mechanism for the dependence of sunspot group tilt angles on cycle strength
Creators: name: Işık, Emre
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The average tilt angle of sunspot groups emerging throughout the solar cycle determines the net magnetic flux crossing the equator, which is correlated with the strength of the subsequent cycle. I suggest that a deep-seated, non-local process can account for the observed cycle-dependent changes in the average tilt angle. Motivated by helioseismic observations indicating cycle-scale variations in the sound speed near the base of the convection zone, I determined the effect of a thermally perturbed overshoot region on the stability of flux tubes and on the tilt angles of emerging flux loops. I found that 5-20 K of cooling is sufficient for emerging flux loops to reproduce the reported amplitude of cycle-averaged tilt angle variations, suggesting that it is a plausible effect responsible for the nonlinearity of the solar activity cycle.
