description: Today, multiple new platforms are implementing qudits, $d$-level quantum bases of information, for Quantum Information Processing (QIP). It is therefore crucial to study their efficiencies for QIP compared to more traditional qubit platforms. We present a comparative study of the infidelity scalings of a qudit and $n$-qubit systems, both with identical Hilbert space dimensions and noisy environments. The first-order response of the Average Gate Infidelity (AGI) to the noise in the Lindblad formalism, which was found to be gate-independent, was calculated analytically in the two systems being compared. This yielded a critical curve $O(d^2/\log_2(d))$ of the ratio of their respective gate times in units of decoherence time. This quantity indicates how time-efficient operations on these systems are. The curve delineates regions where each system has a higher rate of increase of the AGI than the other. This condition on gate efficiency was applied to different existing platforms. It was found that specific qudit platforms possess gate efficiencies competitive with state-of-the-art qubit platforms. Numerical simulations complemented this work and allowed for discussion of the applicability and limits of the linear response formalism.

description: Allergic disease is on the rise. Waitlists for specialists are long, and many referred patients have already received prior allergic assessment, either by a certified Allergist, Primary Care Provider, or other Specialist. It is important to understand the prevalence and motivating factors for multiple-opinion referrals, to deliver timely assessment for patients with allergic disease. Methods: A retrospective chart review of demographic information, number of previous consultations, and motivation for new consults and multiple-opinion referrals, of pediatric patients aged 8 months–17 years to BC Children’s Hospital Allergy Clinic from September 1, 2016–August 31, 2017, was performed. Referral data including reason for referral or multiple-opinion, primary allergic concerns, and others, from referral forms and consult notes were accessed through local Electronic Medical Records and subsequently analyzed for trends in categorical variables to assess the rationale for and impact of multiple-opinion referrals to our clinic. Results: Of 1029 new referrals received, 210 (20.4%) were multiple-opinion referrals. Food allergy was the predominant allergic concern prompting further opinion (75.7%). The main rationale for seeking further opinions was wanting an assessment by a certified allergist in cases where prior consultation was performed by non-allergist specialist, primary care provider, or alternative health care provider. Of second-opinion referrals generated, 70 (33.3%) initial consultations were performed by an Allergist, whereas 140 (66.7%) were performed by a non-allergist. Conclusions: Many new consults at the BCCH Allergy Clinic are multiple-opinion assessments, contributing to long waitlists. Advocacy at the systems level through standardized referral guidelines, centralized triaging systems, and stronger support for Primary Care Providers is needed to provide better access in Canada for children needing a specialized Allergist.
Empirical Likelihood Inference for the Mean Past Lifetime Function

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2020

description: In several fields, such as survival analysis, reliability theory, and forensic science, the mean past lifetime (MPL), also known as the expected inactivity time function, plays a vital role. For inference on the MPL function, some procedures have been proposed in the literature, based on a Central Limit Theorem result for the MPL function's estimator. In this thesis, an empirical likelihood (EL) inference procedure of the MPL function is proposed. In addition to that, we obtain the adjusted EL and mean EL confidence interval for the MPL function. The proposed confidence intervals are compared through simulation studies in terms of coverage probability and the average length of the confidence interval. The simulation studies showed that the proposed EL methods have better coverage probability and shorter average lengths than the normal approximation result. Finally, the proposed methods are illustrated by two real data analyses.

description: Virtually noiseless due to the scarcity of spinful nuclei in the lattice, simple oxides hold promise as hosts of solid-state spin qubits. However, no suitable spin defect has yet been found in these systems. Using high-throughput first-principles calculations, we predict spin defects in calcium oxide with electronic properties remarkably similar to those of the NV center in diamond. These defects are charged complexes where a dopant atom -- Sb, Bi, or I -- occupies the volume vacated by adjacent cation and anion vacancies. The predicted zero phonon line shows that the Bi complex emits in the telecommunication range, and the computed many-body energy levels suggest a viable optical cycle required for qubit initialization. Notably, the high-spin nucleus of each dopant strongly couples to the electron spin, leading to many controllable quantum levels and the emergence of atomic clock-like transitions that are well protected from environmental noise. Specifically, the Hanh-echo coherence time increases beyond seconds at the clock-like transition in the defect with \ch{^{209}Bi}. Our results pave the way to designing quantum states with long coherence times in simple oxides, making them attractive platforms for quantum technologies.
Kernel-based Empirical Likelihood Inference for the Area under the ROC Curve using Ranked Set Samples

Year: 2021

description: In diagnostic medicine, it is important to be able to accurately distinguish between a diseased and non-diseased population. The area under the curve (AUC) is a commonly used measure index to evaluate the accuracy of the diagnostic test. Sometimes in research, it is costly and time consuming to sample the variables of interest, ranked set samples (RSS) is a more effective sampling method than the simple random sampling which can be obtained by ranking, thereby providing samples which are representative of the population of interest, in balanced ranked set samples (BRSS), there is an equal number of cycles for each set. In this thesis, we propose the empirical likelihood and jackknife empirical likelihood methods using BRSS and multistage RSS for the AUC. The simulation results show that our proposed method improves on the estimation of AUC. We performed two real data analysis to illustrate the proposed methods.

description: This paper presents a modification to the standard point-based collinearity equations of photogrammetry, traditionally used in block adjustment for mosaicking overlapping aerial images. The study incorporates linear features and evaluates the modified equations on six overlapping digital aerial images from DiMac sensor. By using optimal parametric representations of object straight lines, the method enhances the relationship modelling between image space and object space.

description: Cultured trabecular meshwork (TM) cells are a valuable model system to study the cellular mechanisms involved in the regulation of conventional outflow resistance and thus intraocular pressure; and their dysfunction resulting in ocular hypertension. In this review, we describe the standard procedures used for the isolation of TM cells from several animal species including humans, and the methods used to validate their identity. Having a set of standard practices for TM cells will increase the scientific rigor when used as a model, and enable other researchers to replicate and build upon previous findings.
Smoothed Empirical Likelihood for the Difference of Two Quantiles with Paired Sample
Creators: name: Liu, Pangpang
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis, we propose a smoothed empirical likelihood method for the difference of quantiles with paired samples. The empirical likelihood for the difference of two quantiles with independent samples has been studied by some researchers. However, for many vari- ables, we cannot ignore the correlation between the data. In this study, we construct two estimating equations for the difference of two quantiles and introduce a nuisance parameter in our proposed smoothed empirical likelihood. The limiting distribution of the smoothed empirical likelihood is the chi-square distribution. Simulation studies demonstrate that our method is valid for the difference of quantiles. We also apply the proposed method to a real data set to illustrate the interval estimate of the quantile difference of GDP between different years.
Jackknife Empirical Likelihood Methods for the Cox Regression Model

description: In the thesis, we consider the Cox regression model. We develop the jackknife empirical likelihood (JEL), adjusted jackknife empirical likelihood (AJEL), mean jackknife empirical likelihood (MJEL), transformed jackknife empirical likelihood (TJEL) and (TAJEL) transformed adjusted jackknife empirical likelihood for the inference about the regression parameters. Additionally, the adjusted empirical likelihood (AEL), mean empirical likelihood (MEL), transformed empirical likelihood (TEL) and transformed adjusted empirical likelihood (TAEL) methods are developed. We compare methods under different distributions in terms of the coverage probability and average length of confidence interval for the regression parameter with simulation studies and three real data sets. The simulation analyses indicate that the MJEL, AJEL, and TAJEL methods are the best performing JEL methods while the MEL method was the best performing EL method. The real data analyses yielded results consistent with the simulation studies.

description: COVID-19 infects the respiratory tract leading to lung damage. Air pollutants such as PM 2.5 is one of the main causes and aggravating factors of many respiratory diseases. A known COVID-19 and air pollution ?hotspot? is India. India reported a devastating number of COVID-19 cases in early 2020. As the country went into lockdown, the air quality improved significantly, providing a rare opportunity to study correlation between COVID-19 cases and air quality. The spatial autocorrelation analysis between the regions for air quality and COVID-19 cases revealed no significant clustering within the regions. Cross-correlation in time series and regression analysis established a positive correlation between PM2.5 emissions and COVID-19 deaths with a time lag of 20-60 days. Spatiotemporal correlation reveals that there is a positive correlation of PM 2.5 and COVID-19 deaths with time lag of 30-50 days and 300 kilometers.

Cross-section measurements for the production of a Z boson in association with high-transverse-momentum jets in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2023

description: Cross-section measurements for a Z boson produced in association with high-transverse-momentum jets (pT ≥ 100 GeV) and decaying into a charged-lepton pair (e +e −, µ+µ −) are presented. The measurements are performed using proton–proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Measurements of angular correlations between the Z boson and the closest jet are performed in events with at least one jet with pT ≥ 500 GeV. Event topologies of particular interest are the collinear emission of a Z boson in dijet events and a boosted Z boson recoiling against a jet. Fiducial cross sections are compared with state-of-the-art theoretical predictions. The data are found to agree with next-to-leading-order predictions by NNLOjet and with the next-to-leading-order multi-leg generators MadGraph5_aMC@NLO and Sherpa.

description: The latent structure of schizotypy and psychosis-spectrum symptoms remains poorly understood. Furthermore, molecular genetic substrates are poorly defined, largely due to the substantial resources required to collect rich phenotypic data across diverse populations. Sample sizes of phenotypic studies are often insufficient for advanced structural equation modeling approaches. In the last 50 years, efforts in both psychiatry and psychological science have moved toward (1) a dimensional model of psychopathology (eg, the current Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology [HiTOP] initiative), (2) an integration of methods and measures across traits and units of analysis (eg, the RDoC initiative), and (3) powerful, impactful study designs maximizing sample size to detect subtle genomic variation relating to complex traits (the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium [PGC]). These movements are important to the future study of the psychosis spectrum, and to resolving heterogeneity with respect to instrument and population. The International Consortium of Schizotypy Research is composed of over 40 laboratories in 12 countries, and to date, members have compiled a body of schizotypy- and psychosis-related phenotype data from more than 30000 individuals. It has become apparent that compiling data into a protected, relational database and crowdsourcing analytic and data science expertise will result in significant enhancement of current research on the structure and biological substrates of the psychosis spectrum. The authors present a data-sharing infrastructure similar to that of the PGC, and a resource-sharing infrastructure similar to that of HiTOP. This report details the rationale and benefits of the phenotypic data collective and presents an open invitation for participation.

Symbiont Shuffling: A Choreography of Coral Acclimatization and Resistance to Climate Change (SURF 2024)
Creators: name: Naugle, Ander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Coral reefs are threatened by climate change, which is causing unprecedented changes in ocean temperature, pH, and more. These stressors have caused widespread coral bleaching, or loss of algal symbionts, which can lead to coral death. Corals can increase their stress resistance and survival by establishing symbiosis with stress-tolerant symbionts. Inland bays in Curaçao are environmentally extreme, providing a natural laboratory to study how corals and their symbionts may respond to future ocean conditions. This research examined the Symbiodiniaceae community composition of the Caribbean coral species, Siderastrea siderea and branching Porites spp. at an extreme and marginal inland bay and a fringing reef in Curaçao. It was found that in the extreme and marginal bay, corals hosted more thermal tolerant Symbiodiniaceae (ITS2 Type A4 in branching Porties spp. and ITS2 type D1 in S. siderea) and more generalist Symbiodiniaceae in the reef (Clade C Cladocopium spp.). By understanding the Symbiodiniacae community composition of coral in their native environments, we can identify coral symbionts that may help corals survive in extreme and marginal multi-stressor conditions akin to future climate change.

Developing a Protocol to Investigate the Activity of Photothrombolytics Against Clots In Vitro
Creators: name: Dhanikonda, Sriya
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Light targeted drug delivery allows for increased control of the locus, timing, and dosage of delivered treatment, making it safer and more affective than systematically administered drugs. The aim of this project is to establish an in vitro protocol to measure thrombolytic activity against clots. The ability of liposomal carriers to release the target drug at a specific location, time, and in desired quantities when activated by light demonstrates its growing potential in the application of thrombolytic treatments. This protocol uses a photolytic trigger attached to the surface of liposomes. Upon illumination by 525 nm light, the lytic agent, Melittin, is released from the blocking segment to release the contained therapeutic agent (tissue plasminogen activator - tPA) to induce clot lysis. It is hypothesized that with the photolytic trigger, liposomal carriers can be utilized to develop a protocol for an in vitro clot assay in which a model drug can be loaded and released to induced in vitro clots. This will bring nanoparticle-based delivery systems one step closer to an in vivo assay.

description: This project was completed with the support of Office of Undergraduate Research through the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF 2024).

I developed a quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) tool to assess infection risks related to poor urban sanitation in Maputo, Mozambique, linked to the UNC-led Maputo Sanitation (MapSan) trial. Large epidemiological investigations are often expensive and rely on substantial populations with risks of illness (Capone et al., 2021). QMRAs offer a less invasive alternative, with precise adjustment of parameters to suit infection scenarios, and complement epidemiological studies by independently predicting infection risks of pathogens. This project conducted a comprehensive QMRA of five E. coli pathotypes across eight environmental sample types collected from Maputo, Mozambique following an urban sanitation intervention.

Examining Vibrio spp. Colonization of the East Coast Oyster via Green Florescent Protein tri-parental mating
Creators: name: Ezra Ahmad
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Aquaculture, particularly shellfish farming, is a vital component of global seafood production, with oysters playing a significant role. In eastern North Carolina, oyster aquaculture is a key contributor to seafood exports, presenting an interdependence between private stakeholders and regulatory bodies. This research explores the challenges faced by North Carolina's commercial oyster aquaculture, primarily driven by climate change-induced alterations in temperature and salinity. This study investigates the impact of Vibrio spp. on East Coast summer mortality events in Eastern Oysters (Crassostrea virginica) through a controlled mesocosm experiment. Using cups with UV sterilized seawater and local oysters, the study spiked in cultured Vibrio bacteria isolated from a known 2022 mortality event that have been tagged with Green Florescent Protien (GFP). Oysters were divided into experimental and control groups, with the experimental group exposed to Vibrio-inoculated algae culture. Sampling occurred 11 times over 5 days, involving histopathological assessments, plated water colony counts, and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for Vibrio detection within the water. ddPCR analysis of water samples from the tank revealed stabalized concentrations of Chitinase D1, a Vibrio-specific target, across time points following water changes. Oysters in our experiment are shown to intake Vibrios increasing through timepoint 8 while concentrations in the water stabilize after time point 24. Potential explanations for this are that bacteria are colonizing within the gut of the oyster. These findings underscore the complex dynamics between environmental factors, Vibrio presence, and oyster mortality, emphasizing the need for further research to enhance resilience and preemptively address mortality events in shellfish aquaculture.

description: DNA is 2 meters long but the cell nucleus is very small, and therefore the human genome needs to carefully packaged to fit all DNA inside of it. A nucleosome is formed by eight histone proteins that wrap 147bp of DNA and this mediates one level of DNA organization. Many enzymes post-translationally modify these histone proteins, restricting or allowing for DNA to be accessible. The tightness of DNA impact the gene expression. These marks are termed histone post-translational modifications (PTMs). Misregulation of gene expression leads to numerous diseases and cancers, and thus studying the mechanisms underlying it is crucial for designing potential therapeutic treatments. The High Mobility Group (HMG) proteins bind and regulate chromatin organization. HMGN sub-family bind directly to nucleosomes and play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Many disease states display misregulation of HMGN proteins, so studying how HMGNs impact histone PTM landscape is crucial for finding potential useful treatments of serious illnesses. We then designed experiments to investigate whether HMGNs impact regulation of histone PTMs and how HMGNs affect them.

Law, Informal Institutions and Trust: an Experimental Perspective

description: This dissertation has studied how legal and non-legal mechanisms affect the levels of trust and trustworthiness in an economy, and whether and when subtle psychological factors are crucial for establishing trust and even for recovering trust from a breach of contract. The first Chapter has addressed the question of whether formal legal enforcement crowds out or crowds in the amount of trust in a society. We find that formal legal mechanisms, especially formal contracts backed by a powerful authority, normally undermine trust except when they are perceived as legitimate, or when there are no strong social norms of fairness (i.e. the population in a society is considerably heterogeneous), or when the environment in which repeated commercial relationships take place becomes highly uncertain. The second Chapter has examined whether the endogenous adoption of a collective punishment institution can help a society coordinate on an efficient outcome, characterized by high levels of trust and trustworthiness. The experimental results show that the endogenous introduction of collective punishment by means of a majority-voting rule does not significantly improve coordination on the efficient equilibrium. Not all subjects seem to be able to anticipate the change in behavior induced by the introduction of the mechanism, and a majority of them vote against it. The third Chapter has explored whether high-trustors adapt their behavior in response to others’ trustworthiness or untrustworthiness more quickly, which in turn supports them to maintain higher default expectations of others’ trustworthiness relative to low-trustors. Our experimental results reveal that high-trustors are better than low-trustors at predicting others’ trustworthiness because they are less susceptible to the anticipated aversive emotions aroused by the potential betrayal and thereby have a higher willingness to acquire the valuable information about their partner’s actions.

description: We present rapid and robust protocols for STIRAP and quantum logic gates. Our gates are based on geometric phases acquired by instantaneous eigenstates of a slowly accelerating inertial Hamiltonian. To begin, we establish the criteria for inertial evolution and subsequently engineer pulse shapes that fulfill these conditions. These tailored pulses are then used to optimize geometric logic gates. We analyze a realization of our protocols with $^{87}$Rb atoms, resulting in gate fidelity that approaches the current state-of-the-art, with marked improvements in robustness.

"College Bound":  An Investigation of Protective Factors Contributing to the College-Going Identity of Marginalized Middle School Students of Color
Creators: name: Yakob Lemma
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This study explores the factors that influence the development of a college-going identity among first-generation middle-school Students of Color from low-income households. Using a multiple case-study design, we conducted in-depth interviews with 17 first-generation middle-school Students of Color to understand the various elements contributing to their perceptions of higher education as an attainable goal. From the preliminary data analysis, we identified three broad themes: (a) positive future orientation, (b) cultural and familial expectations, and (c) peer networks that support college aspirations. Implications include the necessity for interventions that reinforce the link between education and long-term success, culturally responsive practices that engage families in the educational process, and the potential of peer mentoring to foster academic achievement and college readiness.

description: We investigate the question of the nature of compact stars, considering they may be neutron stars or hybrid stars containing a quark core, within the present constraints given by gravitational waves, radio-astronomy, X-ray emissions from millisecond pulsars and nuclear physics. A Bayesian framework is used to combine together all these constraints and to predict tidal deformabilities and radii for a 1.4~M$_\odot$ compact star. We find that present gravitation wave and radio-astronomy data favors stiff nucleonic EoS compatible with nuclear physics and that GW170817 waveform is best described for binary hybrid stars. Binary neutron stars with soft EoS could however not be totally excluded. In all cases, these %In addition, this data favor stiff quark matter, independently of the nuclear EoS, with a low value for the transition density ($n_\mathrm{tr}\in[0.18,0.35]~\mathrm{fm}^{-3}$). Combining these results with constraints from X-ray observation supports the existence $1.4$~M$_\odot$ mass hybrid star, with a radius predicted to be about $R_{1.4}=12.22(45)$~km.

description: Semantic Shift Detection (SSD) is the task of identifying, interpreting, and assessing the possible change over time in the meanings of a target word. Traditionally, SSD has been addressed by linguists and social scientists through manual and time-consuming activities. In the recent years, computational approaches based on Natural Language Processing and word embeddings gained increasing attention to automate SSD as much as possible. In particular, over the past three years, significant advancements have been made almost exclusively based on word contextualised embedding models, which can handle the multiple usages/meanings of the words and better capture the related semantic shifts. In this paper, we survey the approaches based on contextualised embeddings for SSD (i.e., CSSDetection) and we propose a classification framework characterised by meaning representation, time-awareness, and learning modality dimensions. The framework is exploited i) to review the measures for shift assessment, ii) to compare the approaches on performance, and iii) to discuss the current issues in terms of scalability, interpretability, and robustness. Open challenges and future research directions about CSSDetection are finally outlined.
