We assess this using the same multilevel methodology as published by Steenbeek and Weisburd (2017). Second, we expand upon this model by including street segment-level variables that proxy their usage potential by travelers (namely the metric version of betweenness centrality measures as per Davies and Johnson 2016) and explore how the association varies across US cities, as well as the variance decomposition across spatial levels after including these covariates.

description: Photoacoustic spectroscopy is a powerful optical biopsy technique that enables rapid tumor diagnosis in situ. It has also been reported that photoacoustic spectroscopy can be used to diagnose pre-malignant tissue based on the chemical differences between healthy and pre-malignant tissues. Since the acoustic signals obtained from tissues in these analyses suffer from minimum damping, photoacoustic spectroscopy can be highly sensitive. This paper focuses on the characterization of a novel multiphoton excited photoacoustic methodology for margining of malignant and pre-malignant tissues. The two-photon excitation process in tissues using nanosecond laser pulses produces ultrasonic signals that transmit through tissue with minimal attenuation. Additionally, the two-photon excitation process is highly localized since only ballistic photons contribute to the excitation process; thereby eliminating potential absorption events in tissue not of interest (i.e., along the beam path) and increasing the spatial resolution of the diagnostic technique to that achievable via optics. This work characterizes the two-photon excitation process for photoacoustic signal measurements on a model dye. Using gelatin phantoms to mimic real tissues, tissue penetration studies were performed, revealing chemical species as deep as 1.3 cm in the tissue can easily be detected using this methodology. Furthermore, the resolution of this multiphoton excitation process was determined to be as great as 50 μm (near cellular level resolution).

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Surgical sequelae, recovery and cost associated with the surgical placement of mini-plate temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) and maxillary osteotomy were reported. Sequelae and recovery were evaluated using daily questionnaires which were designed to assess the patients' perception of recovery in four main areas: general activity, oral function, pain, and other symptoms encountered shortly after surgery. Comparisons in each area of substantial interference and median day to recovery between the two groups were calculated. Cost and time comparisons were made from data of records from two consecutively treated groups: patients who received maxillary osteotomy and patients treated with TSADs. Median patient cost and time were calculated and compared. In all areas investigated, the cost, time and recovery associated with surgery for open bite correction were considerably greater for the maxillary osteotomy group than for the skeletal anchorage group.

description: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool for intracellular analyses due its minimally invasive nature and molecular specificity. This research focuses on optimizing the sensitivity of SERS in order to widely apply it to the detection of ultra-trace biomolecules within individual living cells. Recent results have shown that large SERS enhancement factors (EF) can be achieved with multi-layer SERS substrates. To fabricate multi-layer SERS substrates, alternating layers of metal films and dielectric spacers are cast over a non-confluent monolayer of nanostructures. Individual particles of these substrates are then immobilized with antibodies to develop SERS-based immuno-nanosensors. The multi-layer SERS EFs can be increased by the use of appropriate dielectric spacer to fabricate the substrates. To further understand the effect of dielectric spacers on the multi-layer SERS EFs, this talk discusses the characterization of the SERS enhancements of multi-layer metal film on nanostructure SERS substrates fabricated with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) spacers. Monolayers with different chain lengths have been systematically capped with varying amount of metal films. It was found that the SERS EFs depend on the nature of the monolayer formed and the amount of metal film deposited on the monolayer. Using optimal SAMs and the appropriate amount of metal film overlayers, SAM multi-layer SERS substrate with optimized SERS intensity can be fabricated. This talk will also explore the functionalization of the SERS substrates with appropriate bio-recognition elements to develop SERS-based immuno-nanosensors.

description: We present a comprehensive structural characterization of two different highly pure nuclear graphites that compasses all relevant length scales from nanometers to sub-mm. This has been achieved by combining several experiments and neutron techniques: Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), high-resolution Spin Echo SANS (SESANS) and neutron imaging. In this way it is possible to probe an extraordinary broad range of 6 orders of magnitude in length from microscopic to macroscopic length scales. The results reveal a fractal structure that extends from $ \sim $ 0.6 nm to 0.6 mm and has surface and mass fractal dimensions both very close to 2.5, a value found for percolating clusters and fractured ranked surfaces in 3D.

description: Due to the narrow vibrational bandwidths and unique molecular fingerprints, Raman spectroscopy can be an information rich transduction technique for chemical imaging. Dynamic systems are often difficult to measure using spontaneous Raman due to the relatively weak scattering cross-sections. Using a Raman enhancement mechanism such as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), exposure times can be reduced to a reasonable level for dynamic imaging, due to the increased Raman signal intensity. This paper will discuss the development of a novel SERS substrate, fabricated on the tips of fiber-optic imaging bundles, which can be integrated into a multispectral imaging system for non-scanning chemical imaging. These substrates are fabricated by mechanically tapering a polished fiber optic imaging bundle consisting of 30,000 individual elements; producing 100-nm or smaller diameter core elements on the distal tip. Chemical etching with hydrofluoric acid creates uniform cladding spikes onto which a SERS active metal is vacuum deposited, forming the SERS active surface. By varying the size of the silver islands deposited on the cladding peaks active, surface plasmons can be tuned to various excitation frequencies. The surface of these tapered fiber optic probes will be evaluated by analysis of the SERS signal, location and shape of the active surface plasmons. The cross talk between the fiber elements will also be evaluated.

description: Understanding and controlling heat transport in molecular junctions would provide new routes to design nanoscale coupled electronic and phononic devices. Using first principles full quantum calculations, we tune thermal conductance of a molecular junction by mechanically compressing and extending a short alkane chain connected to graphene leads. We find that the thermal conductance of the compressed junction drops by half in comparison to the extended junction, making it possible to turn on and off the heat current. The low conductance of the off state does not vary by further approaching the leads and stems from the suppression of the transmission of the in--plane transverse and longitudinal channels. Furthermore, we show that misalignment of the leads does not reduce the conductance ratio. These results also contribute to the general understanding of thermal transport in molecular junctions.

description: Close proximity of mobile devices can be utilized to create ad hoc and dynamic networks. These mobile Proximity Based Networks (PBNs) are Opportunistic Networks that enable devices to identify and communicate with each other without relying on any communication infrastructure. In addition, these networks are self organizing, highly dynamic and facilitate effective real-time communication. These characteristics render them very useful in a wide variety of complex scenarios such as vehicular communication, e-health, disaster networks, mobile social networks etc. In this work we employ the AllJoyn framework from Qualcomm which facilitates smooth discovery, attachment and data sharing between devices in close proximity. We develop \textit{Min-O-Mee}, a Minutes-of-Meeting app prototype in the Android platform, utilizing the AllJoyn framework. Min-O-Mee allows one of the participants to create a minutes-of-meeting document which can be shared with and edited by the other participants in the meeting. The app harnesses the spatial proximity of participants in a meeting and enables seamless data exchange between them. This characteristic allows Min-O-Mee to share not just minutes-of-meeting, but any data that needs to be exchanged among the participants, making it a versatile app. Further, we extend the basic AllJoyn framework to enable multi-hop communication among the devices in the PBN. We devise a novel routing mechanism that is suited to a proximity centric wireless network as it facilitates data routing and delivery over several hops to devices that are at the fringe of the PBN.

description: Dynamic intracellular analysis has important applications in areas like biomedical research, defense and security and many others. Although, there are several methods for intracellular analysis, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is becoming a preferred transduction method for such applications, due to its narrow spectral bandwidth, large SERS enhancement factors and high sensitivity. In our laboratory, SERS-based immuno-nanosensors are being developed and optimized for real-time, dynamic, and multiplexed analysis of molecular interaction within individual living cells. These nanosensors are fabricated by drop coating silica nanospheres onto a microscope slide. A film of SERS active metal is deposited on the nanospheres to form metal film over nanospheres (MFON), which are then removed from the slide by mechanical processes. The MFONs are functionalized with antibodies that target specific proteins under investigation. Radiation induced cell perturbation is minimized by the use of a HeNe laser for excitation at 632.8 nm. To improve SERS enhancement, different types of metal deposited substrates have been studied with multilayer- MFON (MULTI-FON) substrates demonstrating ideal enhancement. This paper evaluates the SERS enhancement of MULTI-FONs with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) spacers sandwiched between layers of the metal film. Monolayers with carboxylic acid tail groups and different chain lengths are used as spacers in order to evaluate the effect of spacer length and chain functionalities on the SERS enhancement. The paper also discusses the effect of solvent used for the monolayer formation on the sensitivity of the SAM MULTI-FON SERS substrates.

Water Safety Plan cost analysis: explanation building with case studies in the Western Pacific Region
Creators: name: Chang, Zai Kang
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Unsafe water remains a significant public health threat in high and low income countries. The World Health Organization promotes Water Safety Plans (WSPs) as the most effective means of consistently ensuring the safety of a drinking-water supply. Currently, there is a lack of information relating water suppliers to expected costs and benefits of WSP implementation. Costing practices are adapted from food quality management studies and adapted to six water suppliers from the Western Pacific Region. The explanation building procedure is used to develop understanding of relationships between water supplier characteristics and WSP implementation costs. The results indicate costs associated with WSP implementation are expected to be low for developed water suppliers, however, for less developed water suppliers, the high variability in costs indicates further studies may not improve a priori estimation of costs and these suppliers may require ongoing technical and financial assistance to achieve a safe water supply.

Predictors of sleep quality in children with polyarticular arthritis
Creators: name: Bromberg, Maggie Hood
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This study investigated the relationship between pain, coping efficacy, and sleep in 51 children and adolescents with polyarticular arthritis over a two month period. Consistent with expectations, pain significantly predicted sleep quality after controlling for disease and demographic variables. When the sample was restricted to days in which children experienced pain, this relationship was moderated by coping efficacy. The daily coping efficacy rating was found to be a valid measure of coping efficacy based on correlations to a validated self report measure of coping efficacy. This study also examined the coping of children in the sample. The use of specific coping strategies by parents and children was largely unrelated. These findings suggest that children who experience pain or have poor pain management may be at risk for sleep problems. As such, sleep quality should be assessed clinically and pain coping interventions should be developed to target sleep disturbances.

description: The statistical property of acoustic emission (AE) events from a plunged granular bed is analyzed by means of actual time and natural time analyses. These temporal analysis methods allow us to investigate the details of AE events that follow a power-law distribution. In the actual time analysis, the calm time distribution and the decay of the event-occurrence density after the largest event (i.e., Omori-Utsu law) are measured. Although the former always shows a power-law form, the latter does not always obey a power law. Markovianity of the event-occurrence process is also verified using a scaling law by assuming that both of them exhibit power laws. We find that the effective shear strain rate is a key parameter to classify the emergence rate of power-law nature and Markovianity in the granular AE events. For the natural time analysis, the existence of self organized critical (SOC) states is revealed by calculating the variance of natural time $χ_k$, where $k$th natural time of N events is defined as $χ_k=k/N$. In addition, the energy difference distribution can be fitted by a $q$-Gaussian form, which is also consistent with the criticality of the system.

A Restrospective Evaluation of the Estimation of VO2max in Individuals Who Attain Peak Versus Individuals That Attain Max During a CPET Using a Dynamic Systems Model
Creators: name: Martin, Kerry
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Due to uncertainty in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) determination from a traditional cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), dynamic systems models (DSMs) may be used to predict or confirm VO2max. The purpose of this study was to use a DSM to predict VO2max and to compare the difference between individuals who reached maximal criteria (MAX) versus individuals who did not (PEAK). A retrospective analysis was performed on nine male individuals who performed a cycle ergometer CPET. Oxygen uptake, stage power, and fixed cadence values from a CPET were used in the DSM to predict VO2max. Despite a trend to predict VO2max in both groups, there was a significant difference between predicted and obtained VO2max in the MAX group (p=.045), and no significant difference between experimental VO2peak and predicted VO2max in the PEAK group (p=.13). This study demonstrates the necessity of power and cadence when using a DSM to predict VO2max.

description: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic progressive disorder, with increased propensity of malignant transformation. OSF occurs in subjects who use areca nut in its various forms. The malignant transformation rate of OSF is 7-13%. One recent study with a cohort of 99 cases of OSF has reported a 3.72% malignant transformation rate for OSF with an average duration of 37.4 months. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in blood, other body fluids, or tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process, or of a condition or disease. Immunohistochemistry is a versatile tool in biological research, which is widely used in diagnosis, identification and localisation of biomarkers. There are several molecular biomarkers that have been identified in OSF disease progression and malignant transformation. A scoping review was undertaken to systematically map the current state of evidence and to identify the paucity in the literature related to molecular immunohistochemical markers in OSF. This review was done to answer two questions – What are the immunohistochemical biomarkers that have been reported in the past decade in 1. The pathogenesis of OSF and 2. Malignant transformation of OSF to OSCC. The scoping review protocol was adapted from the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer's Manual (2017) and included: defining the research question, identifying relevant studies, selecting studies to include, charting (extracting and synthesising the data), summarising and reporting the results. The IHC biomarker expression levels based on the biomarker types in OSF, OSCC and OSCC arising in a background of OSF as compared with the healthy controls were charted. The five most commonly reported biomarkers along with limitations, knowledge gaps and the recommendations for the future studies are discussed in this scoping review.

description: We utilize multi-dimensional simulations of varying equatorial jet strength to predict wavelength dependent variations in the eclipse times of gas-giant planets. A displaced hot-spot introduces an asymmetry in the secondary eclipse light curve that manifests itself as a measured offset in the timing of the center of eclipse. A multi-wavelength observation of secondary eclipse, one probing the timing of barycentric eclipse at short wavelengths and another probing at longer wavelengths, will reveal the longitudinal displacement of the hot-spot and break the degeneracy between this effect and that associated with the asymmetry due to an eccentric orbit. The effect of time offsets was first explored in the IRAC wavebands by Williams et. al (2006). Here we improve upon their methodology, extend to a broad ranges of wavelengths, and demonstrate our technique on a series of multi-dimensional radiative-hydrodynamical simulations of HD 209458b with varying equatorial jet strength and hot-spot displacement. Simulations with the largest hot-spot displacement result in timing offsets of up to 100 seconds in the infrared. Though we utilize a particular radiative hydrodynamical model to demonstrate this effect, the technique is model independent. This technique should allow a much larger survey of hot-spot displacements with JWST then currently accessible with time-intensive phase curves, hopefully shedding light on the physical mechanisms associated with thermal energy advection in irradiated gas-giants.

description: Chemical imaging not only provides structural and spatial information about a sample but also chemical information about the sample. Raman spectroscopy can be a powerful transduction mechanism for chemical imaging due to the narrow vibrational bandwidths and unique spectral fingerprints. Unfortunately, Raman cross-sections are extremely weak (~10-30 cm-2), often necessitating long exposure times, making dynamic chemical imaging impractical, particularly for high-resolution images. By utilizing a Raman enhancement technique such as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), the effective scattering cross-sections are increased making practical imaging times feasible. This paper will discuss the fabrication, characterization, and demonstration of a novel SERS substrate and instrumental system for non-scanning SERS chemical imaging with sub-diffraction limited spatial resolution. These substrates are fabricated by chemically etching a polished fiber optic imaging bundle consisting of 30,000, hexagonally packed, 4- micron diameter elements. The chemical etching process creates uniform array of cladding spikes onto which a SERS active metal is vacuum deposited, forming the SERS active surface. By varying the size of the silver islands deposited on the cladding peaks active surface plasmons can be tuned to various excitation frequencies. SERS signals measured both on and off the plasmon absorption band demonstrate that these SERS fiber bundles can be tuned for various excitation frequencies.

description: Large solar flares and eruptions may influence remote regions through perturbations in the outer-atmospheric magnetic field, leading to causally related events outside of the primary or triggering eruptions that are referred to as "sympathetic events." We quantify the occurrence of sympathetic events using the full-disk observations by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory associated with all flares of GOES class M5 or larger from 01 May 2010 through 31 December 2014. Using a superposed-epoch analysis, we find an increase in the rate of flares, filament eruptions, and substantial sprays and surges more than 20 degrees away from the primary flares within the first four hours at a significance of 1.8 standard deviations. We also find that the rate of distant events drops by two standard deviations, or a factor of 1.2, when comparing intervals between 4 hours and 24 hours before and after the start times of the primary large flares. We discuss the evidence for the concluding hypothesis that the gradual evolution leading to the large flare and the impulsive release of the energy in that flare both contribute to the destabilization of magnetic configurations in distant active regions and quiet-Sun areas. These effects appear to leave distant regions, in an ensemble sense, in a more stable state, so that fewer energetic events happen for at least a day following large energetic events.

description: We propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme for implementation of a maximally entangling quantum controlled-Z gate between two weakly interacting systems. We conditionally enhance the interqubit coupling by quantum interference. Both before and after the interqubit interaction, one of the qubits is coherently coupled to an auxiliary quantum system, and finally it is projected back onto qubit subspace. We experimentally verify the practical feasibility of this technique by using a linear optical setup with weak interferometric coupling between single-photon qubits. Our procedure is universally applicable to a wide range of physical platforms including hybrid systems such as atomic clouds or optomechanical oscillators coupled to light.

description: SPIE Defense, Security, and Sensing, 13-17 APRIL 2009, Orlando, Florida, United States
description: A novel surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immuno-microwell array has been developed for multiplexed detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The immuno-microwell array was prepared by immobilizing the optical addressable immunomagnetic beads (IMB) into the microwell array on one end of a fiber optic bundle. The IMBs, magnetic beads coated with specific antibody to specific bacteria, were used for immunomagnetic separation (IMS) of corresponding bacteria. The magnetic separation by the homemade magnetic separation system was evaluated in terms of the influences of several important parameters including the beads concentration, the sample volume and the separation time. IMS separation efficiency of the model bacteria E.coli O157:H7 was 63% in 3 minutes. The microwell array was fabricated on hydrofluoric acid etched end of a fiber optic bundle containing 30,000 fiber elements. After being coated with silver, the microwell array was used as a uniform SERS substrate with the relative standard deviation of the SERS enhancement across the microwell array < 2% and the enhancement factor as high as 2.18 x 107. The antibody modified microwell array was prepared for bacteria immobilization into the microwell array, which was characterized by a sandwich immunoassay. To demonstrate the potential of multiplexed SERS detection with the immuno-microwell array, the SERS spectra of different Raman dye labeled magnetic beads as well as mixtures were measured on the mircrowell array. In bead mixture, different beads were identified by the characteristic SERS bands of the corresponding Raman label.
