description: We study viscosity of the neutron star matter and $r$-mode instability in rotating neutron stars. Contributions to the shear and bulk viscosities from various processes are calculated with account of in-medium modifications of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. A softening of the pion mode and a possibility of the pion condensation are included. The nucleon pairing is incorporated. In the shear viscosity we include the lepton contribution calculated with account of the Landau damping in the photon exchange, the nucleon contribution described by the medium-modified one pion exchange, and other terms, such as the novel phonon contribution in the 1S$_0$ superfluid neutron phase, and the neutrino term in the neutrino opacity region. The nucleon shear viscosity depends on the density rather moderately and proves to be much less than the lepton term. Among the terms contributing to the bulk viscosity, the term from the medium modified Urca reactions possesses strongest density dependence because of the pion softening. Contributions to the bulk viscosity arising from other reactions induced by charged weak currents are included. The radiative bulk viscosity induced by charged and neutral weak currents in the region of the neutrino transparency of the star is also calculated with account for in-medium effects. The computed frequency boundary of the $r$-mode stability for the stars with the mass $\ge 1.8 M_{\odot}$ proves to be above the frequencies of all rotating young pulsars. To explain the stability of rapid rotation of old pulsars in X-ray binaries we propose a novel efficient mechanism associated with appearance of condensates of low-lying modes of bosonic excitations with finite momentum and/or with an enhancement of the inhomogeneous pion/kaon condensates in some parts of the star, if the angular velocity exceeds a critical value.

description: Currently-proposed galaxy quenching mechanisms predict very different behaviours during major halo mergers, ranging from significant quenching enhancement (e.g., clump-induced gravitational heating models) to significant star formation enhancement (e.g., gas starvation models). To test real galaxies' behaviour, we present an observational galaxy pair method for selecting galaxies whose host haloes are preferentially undergoing major mergers. Applying the method to central L* (10^10 Msun < M_* < 10^10.5 Msun) galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) at z<0.06, we find that major halo mergers can at most modestly reduce the star-forming fraction, from 59% to 47%. Consistent with past research, however, mergers accompany enhanced specific star formation rates for star-forming L* centrals: ~10% when a paired galaxy is within 200 kpc (approximately the host halo's virial radius), climbing to ~70% when a paired galaxy is within 30 kpc. No evidence is seen for even extremely close pairs (<30 kpc separation) rejuvenating star formation in quenched galaxies. For galaxy formation models, our results suggest: (1) quenching in L* galaxies likely begins due to decoupling of the galaxy from existing hot and cold gas reservoirs, rather than a lack of available gas or gravitational heating from infalling clumps, (2) state-of-the-art semi-analytic models currently over-predict the effect of major halo mergers on quenching, and (3) major halo mergers can trigger enhanced star formation in non-quenched central galaxies.

Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, I will explore the enhancement in regulatory power of the European Commission in the digital space. As technology rapidly advances, the need to understand how the European Commission attempts to maintain its status as a regulatory body becomes ever more important. This thesis provides a process tracing analysis to understand the Commission’s policy evolution between the e-Commerce Directive (2000) and the Digital Services Package (2022). Further, it identifies key mechanisms such as an upgrading of common interests, spillover, and the Brussels Effect, which can be attributed to the publishing and adoption of certain regulatory texts such as the EU Charter of Fundamental Human Rights, the Digital Single Market Initiative, and the General Data Protection Regulation. This thesis defines terms such as digital sovereignty and the digital space to fully understand the landscape which the Commission is attempting to regulate.

description: The hormone auxin is actively transported throughout plants via protein machineries including the dedicated transporter known as PIN. The associated transport is ordered with nearby cells driving auxin flux in similar directions. Here we provide a model of both the auxin transport and of the dynamics of cellular polarisation based on flux sensing. Our main findings are: (i) spontaneous intracellular PIN polarisation arises if PIN recycling dynamics are sufficiently non-linear, (ii) there is no need for an auxin concentration gradient, and (iii) ordered multi-cellular patterns of PIN polarisation are favored by molecular noise.

description: The analytic contribution to the low energy expansion of Type II string amplitudes at genus-one is a power series in space-time derivatives with coefficients that are determined by integrals of modular functions over the complex structure modulus of the world-sheet torus. These modular functions are associated with world-sheet vacuum Feynman diagrams and given by multiple sums over the discrete momenta on the torus. In this paper we exhibit exact differential and algebraic relations for a certain infinite class of such modular functions by showing that they satisfy Laplace eigenvalue equations with inhomogeneous terms that are polynomial in non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. Furthermore, we argue that the set of modular functions that contribute to the coefficients of interactions up to order D**10 R*4 are linear sums of functions in this class and quadratic polynomials in Eisenstein series and odd Riemann zeta values. Integration over the complex structure results in coefficients of the low energy expansion that are rational numbers multiplying monomials in odd Riemann zeta values.

description: To probe both the Hydrodynamic Non-Equilibrium (HNE) and Thermodynamic Non-Equilibrium (TNE) in the combustion process, a two-dimensional Multiple-Relaxation-Time (MRT) version of Lattice Boltzmann Kinetic Model(LBKM) for combustion phenomena is presented. The chemical energy released in the progress of combustion is dynamically coupled into the system by adding a chemical term to the LB kinetic equation. Beside describing the evolutions of the conserved quantities, the density, momentum and energy, which are what the Navier-Stokes model describes, the MRT-LBKM presents also a coarse-grained description on the evolutions of some non-conserved quantities. The current model works for both subsonic and supersonic flows with or without chemical reaction. In this model both the specific-heat ratio and the Prandtl number are flexible, the TNE effects are naturally presented in each simulation step. The model is verified and validated via well-known benchmark tests. As an initial application, various non-equilibrium behaviours, including the complex interplays between various HNEs, between various TNEs and between the HNE and TNE, around the detonation wave in the unsteady and steady one-dimensional detonation processes are preliminarily probed. It is found that the system viscosity (or heat conductivity) decreases the local TNE, but increase the global TNE around the detonation wave, that even locally, the system viscosity (or heat conductivity) results in two kinds of competing trends, to increase and to decrease the TNE effects. The physical reason is that the viscosity (or heat conductivity) takes part in both the thermodynamic and hydrodynamic responses.

description: Hot Jupiters are giant planets on orbits a few hundredths of an AU. They do not share their system with low-mass close-in planets, despite these latter being exceedingly common. Two migration channels for hot Jupiters have been proposed: through a protoplanetary gas disc or by tidal circularisation of highly-eccentric planets. We show that highly-eccentric giant planets that will become hot Jupiters clear out any low-mass inner planets in the system, explaining the observed lack of such companions to hot Jupiters. A less common outcome of the interaction is that the giant planet is ejected by the inner planets. Furthermore, the interaction can implant giant planets on moderately-high eccentricities at semimajor axes $<1$ AU, a region otherwise hard to populate. Our work supports the hypothesis that most hot Jupiters reached their current orbits following a phase of high eccentricity, possibly excited by other planetary or stellar companions.

description: We calculate spatial correlation functions of in-medium mesons consisting of strange--anti-strange, strange--anti-charm and charm--anti-charm quarks in (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD using the highly improved staggered quark action. A comparative study of the in-medium modifications of mesons with different flavor contents is performed. We observe significant in-medium modifications for the $ϕ$ and $D_s$ meson channels already at temperatures around the chiral crossover region. On the other hand, for the $J/ψ$ and $η_c$ meson channels in-medium modifications remain relatively small around the chiral crossover region and become significant only above 1.3 times the chiral crossover temperature.
Assessing the Relationship Between Toxic Metal Environmental Justice Indices for Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Manganese and Preterm Birth In North Carolina
Creators: name: Gavino-Lopez, Noemi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Prenatal metal exposure has been associated with an increased risk of preterm birth (PTB). In North Carolina (NC), metal exposure may occur via unregulated private wells. Low-income and people of color populations disproportionately exposed to well water metal contamination can be identified via Toxic Metal Environmental Justice Indices (TM-EJI). Four unique TM-EJIs have been previously determined for inorganic arsenic (iAs), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and manganese (Mn). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the TM-EJIs and PTB prevalence in NC, at a census tract level. Linear regression models were employed to analyze the relationship between the TM-EJI indicator variables and PTB prevalence. Notably, census tracts with positive Mn TM-EJIs had a significant PTB prevalence on average 0.31% higher than census tracts with Mn TM-EJIs equal to zero. This finding highlights the impact of joint exposure to chemical and non-chemical stressors on PTB risk.

description: We present the results of wide-band (720-2400 MHz) study of PSR B1821-24A (J1824-2452A, M28A), an energetic millisecond pulsar visible in radio, X-rays and gamma-rays. In radio, the pulsar has a complex average profile which spans >85% of the spin period and exhibits strong evolution with observing frequency. For the first time we measure phase-resolved polarization properties and spectral indices of radio emission throughout almost all of the on-pulse window. We combine this knowledge with the high-energy information to compare M28A to other known gamma-ray millisecond pulsars and to speculate that M28A's radio emission originates in multiple regions within its magnetosphere (i.e. both in the slot or outer gaps near the light cylinder and at lower altitudes above the polar cap). M28A is one of the handful of pulsars which are known to emit Giant Pulses (GPs) -- short, bright radio pulses of unknown nature. We report a drop in the linear polarization of the average profile in both windows of GP generation and also a `W'-shaped absorption feature (resembling a double notch), partly overlapping with one of the GP windows. The GPs themselves have broadband spectra consisting of multiple patches with fractional spectral width ($Δν/ν$) of about 0.07. Although our time resolution was not sufficient to resolve the GP structure on the microsecond scale, we argue that GPs from this pulsar most closely resemble the GPs from the main pulse of the Crab pulsar, which consist of a series of narrowband nanoshots.

description: One aspect of the quantum nature of spacetime is its "foaminess" at very small scales. Many models for spacetime foam are defined by the accumulation power $α$, which parameterizes the rate at which Planck-scale spatial uncertainties (and thephase shifts they produce) may accumulate over large path-lengths. Here $α$ is defined by theexpression for the path-length fluctuations, $δ\ell$, of a source at distance $\ell$, wherein $δ\ell \simeq \ell^{1 - α} \ell_P^α$, with $\ell_P$ being the Planck length. We reassess previous proposals to use astronomical observations ofdistant quasars and AGN to test models of spacetime foam. We show explicitly how wavefront distortions on small scales cause the image intensity to decay to the point where distant objects become undetectable when the path-length fluctuations become comparable to the wavelength of the radiation. We use X-ray observations from {\em Chandra} to set the constraint $α\gtrsim 0.58$, which rules out the random walk model (with $α= 1/2$). Much firmer constraints canbe set utilizing detections of quasars at GeV energies with {\em Fermi}, and at TeV energies with ground-based Cherenkovtelescopes: $α\gtrsim 0.67$ and $α\gtrsim 0.72$, respectively. These limits on $α$ seem to rule out $α= 2/3$, the model of some physical interest.

description: Recently hints of lepton flavor non-universality emerged when the BaBar Collaboration observed deviations from the standard model predictions in $R(D^{(*)}) \equiv {\cal B}({\bar B} \to D^{(*)+} τ^- {\barν}_τ) / {\cal B}({\bar B} \to D^{(*)+} \ell^- {\barν}_\ell)$ ($\ell =e,μ$). Another test of this non-universality can be in the semi leptonic $Λ_{b}\toΛ_{c}τ\barν_τ$ decay. In this work we present predictions for this decay in the standard model and in the presence of new-physics operators with different Lorentz structures. We present the most general four-fold angular distribution for this decay including new physics. For phenomenology, we focus on predictions for the decay rate and the differential distribution in the momentum transfer squared $q^2$. In particular, we calculate $R_{Λ_{b}} = \frac{BR[Λ_b \to Λ_c τ\barν_τ]}{BR[Λ_b \to Λ_c \ell \barν_{\ell}]}$ where $\ell$ represents $μ$ or $e$, and find the standard model prediction to be around $0.3$ while the new physics operators can increase or slightly decrease this value.

EFFECTS OF A PRODUCE PRESCRIPTION PROGRAM ON NUTRITIONAL OUTCOMES AND FOOD PURCHASES IN NORTH CAROLINA

description: The goal of this project is to assess if participation in a $40/month produce prescription program for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants with diet sensitive health conditions (SuperSNAP) is associated with changes in food purchase composition and nutritional outcomes compared to matched SNAP beneficiaries. We also assessed if the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to any other shifts. This study used retail transaction data (October 2019-April 2022) linked with nutrition label data to assess changes in purchase composition across key food categories and nutrient profile changes. We applied a linear mixed effects model with overlap weights to perform a difference-in-difference analysis of purchases by SuperSNAP program enrollees (treatment) compared to SNAP participants who were not in SuperSNAP (control).The analytical sample included 1,447 SuperSNAP shoppers and 41,003 control shoppers. SuperSNAP participation was associated with a 6.7% (95% CI (5.9, 7.6), p <0.000) increase in share of calories from fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes without additives. Compared to control shoppers, share of total calories purchased by SuperSNAP shoppers decreased by 1.7% (95% CI (-2.2, -1.1), p <0.000) from sugar sweetened beverages and 2.1% (95% CI (-2.8, -1.5), p <0.000) from ultra-processed non-essential foods. We did not find differences in these shifts in purchase compositions since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. This study shows the promise of targeted produce prescription programs for SNAP participants in encouraging shifts in purchase composition.

description: A previous study of nuclear matter in a chiral nucleon-meson model is extended to isospin-asymmetric matter. Fluctuations beyond mean-field approximation are treated in the framework of the functional renormalization group. The nuclear liquid-gas phase transition is investigated in detail as a function of the proton fraction in asymmetric matter. The equations of state at zero temperature of both symmetric nuclear matter and pure neutron matter are found to be in good agreement with realistic many-body computations. We also study the density dependence of the pion mass in the medium. The question of chiral symmetry restoration in neutron matter is addressed; we find a stabilization of the phase with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry once fluctuations are included. Finally, neutron star matter including beta equilibrium is discussed. The model satisfies the constraints imposed by the existence of two-solar-mass neutron stars.

description: Under high pressure conditions, Zr undergoes a phase transformation from its ambient equilibrium hexagonal close packed $α$ phase to hexagonal $ω$ phase. Upon returning to ambient conditions, the material displays hysteretic behavior, retaining a significant amount of metastable $ω$ phase. This study presents an in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction analysis of Zr samples shock-loaded to compressive peak stresses of 8 and 10.5 GPa and then annealed at temperatures of 443, 463, 483, and 503K. The evolution of the $α$ phase volume fraction was tracked quantitatively, and the dislocation densities in both phases were tracked qualitatively during annealing. Upon heating, the reverse transformation of $ω\toα$ does not go to completion, but instead reaches a new metastable state. The initial rate of transformation is faster at higher temperatures. Samples shock-loaded to higher peak pressures experienced higher initial transformation rates and more extensive transformation. Dislocation content in both phases was observed to be high in the as-shocked samples. Annealing the samples reduces the dislocation content in both phases, with the reduction being lesser in the $ω$ phase, leading to the postulation that transformation from $ω\toα$ is restricted by the pinning effect of dislocation structures within the $ω$ phase. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis affirmed that the expected $(0\;0\;0\;1)_α\parallel(1\;0\;\overline{1}\;1)_ω$ and $[1\;0\;\overline{1}\;0]_α\parallel[1\;1\;\overline{2}\;\overline{3}]_ω$ orientation relationship is maintained during nucleation and growth of the $α$ phase during the annealing. \end{abstract}

description: In this paper, I will explore the topics, themes, and arguments reported in two newspapers about Scottish independence. I will analyze the frequency of all reported themes in the independence debate in order to determine the significance of Brexit. This research uses a national newspaper and a local newspaper to highlight shared and divergent trends in the independence discussion. Furthermore, this paper’s findings give an indication of what Scottish society believes independence can and cannot do as well as bring attention to the role of ever-changing news cycles on public discourse.
Sudakov Safety in Perturbative QCD

description: Traditional calculations in perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) are based on an order-by-order expansion in the strong coupling $α_s$. Observables that are calculable in this way are known as "safe". Recently, a class of unsafe observables was discovered that do not have a valid $α_s$ expansion but are nevertheless calculable in pQCD using all-orders resummation. These observables are called "Sudakov safe" since singularities at each $α_s$ order are regulated by an all-orders Sudakov form factor. In this letter, we give a concrete definition of Sudakov safety based on conditional probability distributions, and we study a one-parameter family of momentum sharing observables that interpolate between the safe and unsafe regimes. The boundary between these regimes is particularly interesting, as the resulting distribution can be understood as the ultraviolet fixed point of a generalized fragmentation function, yielding a leading behavior that is independent of $α_s$.

description: We prove that for arbitrary black brane solutions of generic Supergravities there is an adapted system of variables in which the equations of motion are exactly invariant under electric-magnetic duality, i.e. the interchange of a given extended object by its electromagnetic dual. We obtain thus a procedure to automatically construct the electromagnetic dual of a given brane without needing to solve any further equation. We apply this procedure to construct the non-extremal (p, q)-string of Type-IIB String Theory (new in the literature), explicitly showing how the dual (p, q)-five-brane automatically arises in this construction. In addition, we prove that the system of variables used is suitable for a generic characterization of every double-extremal Supergravity brane solution, which we perform in full generality.

description: Floquet topological insulators are noninteracting quantum systems that, when driven by a time-periodic field, are described by effective Hamiltonians whose bands carry nontrivial topological invariants. A longstanding question concerns the possibility of selectively populating one of these effective bands, thereby maximizing the system's resemblance to a static topological insulator. We study such Floquet systems coupled to a zero-temperature thermal reservoir that provides dissipation. We find that the resulting electronic steady states are generically characterized by a finite density of excitations above the effective ground state, even when the driving has a small amplitude and/or large frequency. We discuss the role of reservoir engineering in mitigating this problem.

"I Paint People to Learn to Know Them": Issues of Identity in Suzanne Valadon's Depictions of the Female Nude
Creators: name: Heldt, Sophie Lorraine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Suzanne Valadon’s identity as a lower-class female, acrobat, artist’s model, mother, wife, and artist is inextricably tied to her artistic production. In examining her depictions of the female nude, we must not only consider Valadon’s identity but also those of her sitters. Through the inclusion of the models’ names in her titles and a consistent rendering of their unique physical features across series, Valadon conveys her models’ identities to the viewer. Informed by her previous vocations as acrobat and artist’s model, Valadon utilized the female nude – a genre wherein models were often anonymized and valued solely for their physical form – as a means of presenting her sitters as women whose bodies existed beyond the canvas and not simply for the viewer’s pleasure. Because Valadon’s approach to the female nude was informed by factors sometimes personal, historical, or both, we must approach each work in the same way she depicted her models – as individuals.
Domain Nucleation and Confinement In Agent Controlled Bistable Systems

description: We report a new mechanism of pattern formation in growing bistable systems coupled indirectly. A modified Fujita et. al. model is studied as an example of a reaction-diffusion system of nondiffusive activator and inhibitor molecules immersed in the medium of a fast diffusive agent. Here we show that, as the system grows, a new domain nucleates spontaneously in the area where the local level of the agent becomes critical. Newly nucleated domains are stable and the pattern formation is different from Turing's mechanism in monostable systems. Domains are spatially confined by the agent even if the activator and inhibitor molecules diffuse. With the spatial extension of the system, a larger domain may undergo a wavenumber instability and the concentrations of active molecules within the neighboring elements of a domain can become sharply different. The new mechanism reported in this work can be generic for pattern formation systems involving multistability, growth, and indirect coupling.

Global critical temperature in inhomogeneous superconductors induced by multifractality

description: There is growing evidence, from experiments and numerical simulations, that a key feature of sufficiently disordered superconductors is the spatial inhomogeneity of the order parameter. However not much is known analytically about the details of its spatial distribution or the associated global critical temperature that signals the breaking of long-range order. Here we address this problem for disordered systems around an Anderson transition characterized by multifractal one-body eigenstates. In the limit of weak multifractality and for weakly coupled superconductors we compute the superconducting order parameter analytically, including its energy dependence and statistical distribution in space. The spatial distribution of the order parameter is found to be always log-normal. The global critical temperature, computed by percolation techniques and neglecting phase fluctuations, is enhanced with respect to the clean limit only for very weakly coupled superconductors. Some enhancement still persists even in the presence of moderate phase fluctuations crudely modelled by increasing the percolation threshold. Our results are also consistent with experiments, where enhancement of the critical temperature is observed in Al thin films, a very weakly coupled metallic superconductor, but not in more strongly coupled materials.
