description: Grain boundaries often exhibit ordered atomic structures. Increasing amounts of evidence have been provided by transmission electron microscopy and atomistic computer simulations that different stable and metastable grain boundary structures can occur. Meanwhile, theories to treat them thermodynamically as grain boundary phases have been developed. Whereas atomic structures were identified at particular grain boundaries for particular materials, it remains an open question if these structures and their thermodynamic excess properties are material specific or generalizable to, e.g., all fcc metals. In order to elucidate that question, we use atomistic simulations with classical interatomic potentials to investigate a range of high-angle [111] symmetric tilt grain boundaries in Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag, Au, Al, and Pb. We could indeed find two families of grain boundary phases in all of the investigated grain boundaries, which cover most of the standard fcc materials. Where possible, we compared the atomic structures to atomic-resolution electron microscopy images and found that the structures match. This poses the question if the grain boundary phases are simply the result of sphere-packing geometry or if material-specific bonding physics play a role. We tested this using simple model pair potentials and found that medium-ranged interactions are required to reproduce the atomic structures, while the more realistic material models mostly affect the grain boundary (free) energy. In addition to the structural investigation, we also report the thermodynamic excess properties of the grain boundaries, explore how they influence the thermodynamic stability of the grain boundary phases, and detail the commonalities and differences between the materials.

SEX ASSIGNED AT BIRTH AND GENDER EXPRESSION: THEIR IMPLICATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES FOR DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS AND TENDENCY TO SEEK HELP
Creators: name: Meymandi,Margaret
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: In this study, I expand upon existing literature on the relationship that exists between gender and mental health, both in terms of symptom frequency and tendency to seek help. By evaluating gender based on one’s perceived gender expression, this study more distinctly seperates sex assigned at birth from gender and allows them to be analyzed individually and in conjunction. To explore the interaction of gender and mental health symptoms and outcomes, data from Wave V of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) was analyzed using linear and logistic regressions.  Respondents who indicated male sex assigned at birth were found to have lower frequency of depressive symptoms and decreased frequency of seeking help. Those with masculine gender expression were less likely to seek mental health treatment, whereas those with neutral gender expression were found to have higher frequency of symptoms of depression. Those whose sex assigned at birth and gender expression do not align according to social norms were found to have higher frequency of depressive symptoms, most notably, females with masculine gender expression indicated higher frequency of depressive symptoms. Lastly, females regardless of their gender expression were more likely to seek mental health treatment compared to their counterparts. These results demonstrate the growing need for gender-inclusive research, particularly in the field of mental health symptoms and outcomes. As suicide rates and mental health adversities continue to climb as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, these patterns should continue to be investigated. Future work may include smaller, qualitative studies to better understand individual experiences, qualitative studies that include a more gender-inclusive dataset, and investigations into other mental health outcomes or avenues of seeking help.

description: Risk management decisions in public health require consideration of a number of complex, often conflicting factors. The aim of this review was to propose a set of 10 fundamental principles to guide risk decision-making. Although each of these principles is sound in its own right, the guidance provided by different principles might lead the decision-maker in different directions. For example, where the precautionary principle advocates for preemptive risk management action under situations of scientific uncertainty and potentially catastrophic consequences, the principle of risk-based decision-making encourages decision-makers to focus on established and modifiable risks, where a return on the investment in risk management is all but guaranteed in the near term. To evaluate the applicability of the 10 principles in practice, one needs to consider 10 diverse risk issues of broad concern and explore which of these principles are most appropriate in different contexts. The 10 principles presented here afford substantive insight into the process of risk management decision-making, although decision-makers will ultimately need to exercise judgment in reaching appropriate risk decisions, accounting for all of the scientific and extra-scientific factors relevant to the risk decision at hand.

Our Home on Native Land: Unraveling the Colonial Institution and Land Theft in the Province of Ontario
Creators: name: Phoebe Margaret Flaherty
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The province of Ontario has the largest Indigenous population in Canada, and a complicated history of treaties between First Nations peoples and the Canadian government. In a settler colonial society such as Ontario, laws and institutions have historically been designed in alignment with settler-colonial ideologies, making the question of how to decolonize society complicated. In lieu of the legacies of colonial land theft and the wounds of colonization, the Canadian government developed the Specific Claims Tribunal (SCT).
Decolonization is the equitable distribution of power between First Nations and settler colonial communities. This thesis assesses the effectiveness of the SCT by exploring the history of specific claims in Canada, and using statistical analysis to identify the positive and negative forces influencing First Nation community engagement with specific claims, and whether power is equitably distributed between First Nations and settler-colonial communities in the SCT. 
	In doing so, this thesis discovers that First Nation communities are most likely to have claims accepted by the SCT if they are in close proximity to urban centres, have smaller land bases, larger on reserve populations, and receive low amounts of funding from the Canadian government. Communities are also more likely to repeatedly engage if they have a band operated education within the community, and for a specific category of land claim, are more likely to engage if policed by an Indigenous operated police force instead of a settler-colonial police force, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) or Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). 
	Disparities in which communities have claims accepted by the government confirm that the SCT is not wholly contributing to decolonization, despite the institution’s supposed purpose to remedy the harms of colonization. Consequently, public policy reform is needed in order to restructure the SCT in a way that contributes to decolonization.
The Impact of Racial Distribution in Training Data on Face Recognition Bias: A Closer Look

description: Face recognition algorithms, when used in the real world, can be very useful, but they can also be dangerous when biased toward certain demographics. So, it is essential to understand how these algorithms are trained and what factors affect their accuracy and fairness to build better ones. In this study, we shed some light on the effect of racial distribution in the training data on the performance of face recognition models. We conduct 16 different experiments with varying racial distributions of faces in the training data. We analyze these trained models using accuracy metrics, clustering metrics, UMAP projections, face quality, and decision thresholds. We show that a uniform distribution of races in the training datasets alone does not guarantee bias-free face recognition algorithms and how factors like face image quality play a crucial role. We also study the correlation between the clustering metrics and bias to understand whether clustering is a good indicator of bias. Finally, we introduce a metric called racial gradation to study the inter and intra race correlation in facial features and how they affect the learning ability of the face recognition models. With this study, we try to bring more understanding to an essential element of face recognition training, the data. A better understanding of the impact of training data on the bias of face recognition algorithms will aid in creating better datasets and, in turn, better face recognition systems.

Feeling Right with God: The Emotional Socialization of Children in Evangelical Christian and Secular Elementary Schools
Creators: name: Cook, Kayla
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Emotions tend to be central to one’s identity as an evangelical Christian. Being a believer means serving God in everything—including managing one’s emotions. Evangelical Christians use strategies to manage emotions like anger or fear, because maintaining joy sets them apart from non-Christians. Not much is known, however, about how these feeling rules and emotion management strategies are transferred to children in the evangelical Christian community. Through in-depth interviews with elementary teachers at evangelical Christian and secular schools, this article explores how Christian schoolteachers shape children’s emotional behavior so that students can feel like Christians. Through songs, Bible verses, conversion stories, and rewards, teachers help students associate socially desirable feelings with Christian identities and negative feelings with being a non-Christian. Additionally, Christian teachers equip students with methods of emotional control and teach them to think of their controlled emotions as happiness. Finally, Christian teachers show students how to reinterpret guilt as a sign of their authenticity as Christians-in-training. Through these emotion management techniques, this socialization process helps students learn how to collectively achieve happiness and the evangelical Christian identity. Thus, emotions are a key component of lived religion. Elementary students across different school contexts are exposed to ideas of natural gender differences. Because they are seen as social and emotional experts, feminine and Christian feeling rules weigh more heavily on the girls at Christian schools since they are considered better “managers” of emotions. Despite good intentions, managing negative emotions to feel joy can lead children in Christian elementary schools to navigate their lives without challenging systems of inequality.

description: A new high field spectrometer has been built to extend the capabilities of the $β$-detected nuclear magnetic resonance ($β$-NMR) facility at TRIUMF. This new beamline extension allows $β$-NMR spectroscopy to be performed with fields up to 200 mT parallel to a sample's surface (perpendicular to the ion beam), allowing depth-resolved studies of local electromagnetic fields with spin polarized probes at a much higher applied magnetic field than previously available in this configuration. The primary motivation and application is to allow studies of superconducting radio frequency (SRF) materials, close to the critical fields of Nb metal, which is extensively used to fabricate SRF cavities. The details of the design considerations and implementation of the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system, ion optics, beam diagnostics are presented here. Commissioning of the beamline and spectrometer with radioactive ions are also reported here. Future capabilities and applications in other areas are also described.

description: Characterizing and mitigating errors in current noisy intermediate-scale devices is important to improve performance of next generations of quantum hardware. In order to investigate the importance of the different noise mechanisms affecting quantum computation, we perform full quantum process tomography of single qubits in a real quantum processor in which echo experiments are implemented. Besides error sources already included in standard models, the obtained results show the dominant role of coherent errors, which we practically correct by inserting random single-qubit unitaries in the quantum circuit, significantly increasing the circuit length over which quantum computations on actual quantum hardware produce reliable results.

description: We consider quantum fidelity between two states $ρ$ and $σ$, where we fix $ρ$ and allow $σ$ to be sent through a quantum channel. We determine the minimal fidelity where one minimizes over (a) all unital channels, (b) all mixed unitary channels, and (c) arbitrary channels. We derive results involving the minimal eigenvalue of $ρ$, which we can interpret as a convex combination coefficient. As a consequence, we give a new geometric interpretation of the minimal fidelity with respect to the closed, convex set of density matrices and with respect to the closed, convex set of quantum channels. We further investigate the geometric nature of fidelity by considering density matrices arising as normalized projections onto subspaces; in this way, fidelity can be viewed as a geometric measure of distance between two spaces. We give a connection between fidelity and the canonical (principal) angles between the subspaces.

Strong gate-tunability of flat bands in bilayer graphene due to moiré encapsulation between hBN monolayers

description: When using hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN) as a substrate for graphene, the resulting moiré pattern creates secondary Dirac points. By encapsulating a multilayer graphene within aligned hBN sheets the controlled moiré stacking may offer even richer benefits. Using advanced tight-binding simulations on atomistically-relaxed heterostructures, here we show that the gap at the secondary Dirac point can be opened in selected moiré-stacking configurations, and is independent of any additional vertical gating of the heterostructure. On the other hand, gating can broadly tune the gap at the principal Dirac point, and may thereby strongly compress the first moiré mini-band in width against the moiré-induced gap at the secondary Dirac point. We reveal that in hBN-encapsulated bilayer graphene this novel mechanism can lead to isolated bands flatter than 10~meV under moderate gating, hence presenting a convenient pathway towards electronically-controlled strongly-correlated states on demand.

Automated Application-Specific, Log-Based Testing of Concurrent, Testing-Unaware C-based Programs
Creators: name: Nalin Gaddis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Concurrent programming has allowed software to further maximize the power of the CPU  However, this new form of programming is inherently more error-prone than serial computing, and thus requires innovative testing solutions. The lack of high-level concurrency abstractions in low level languages, such as C/C++, further increases the difficulty of concurrent debugging and error handling.  Existing testing frameworks such as application-independent, I/O based, or log-based/testing-aware analysis provide incomplete and inconsistent assessment of concurrent programs.  Our key idea to overcome this problem is to instrument selected calls in testing-unaware C-based (C or C++) programs to create a log that can then be analyzed by testing code written in any language.  Valgrind++ is a novel testing solution that incorporates this idea. It combines existing state-of-the-art tools, Valgrind and Docker, via software written in Java, a high-level and easily debug-able language. When used on a multi-threaded assignment from UNC’s Operating Systems course, Valgrind++ was able to automatically detect concurrency errors that had previously required an estimated 4.3 hours of manual error-prone grading.  Future work includes integration with existing grading tools and custom code injection.

description: Be it to aerate a glass of wine before tasting, to accelerate a chemical reaction or to cultivate cells in suspension, the "swirling" (or orbital shaking) of a container ensures good mixing and gas exchange in an efficient and simple way. Despite being used in a large range of applications this intuitive motion is far from being understood and presents a richness of patterns and behaviors which has not yet been reported. The present research charts the evolution of the waves with the operating parameters identifying a large variety of patterns, ranging from single and multiple crested waves to breaking waves. Free surface and velocity fields measurements are compared to a potential sloshing model, highlighting the existence of various flow regimes. Our research assesses the importance of the modal response of the shaken liquids, laying the foundations for a rigorous mixing optimization of the orbital agitation in its applications.

description: Percolation is the simplest fundamental model in statistical mechanics that exhibits phase transitions signaled by the emergence of a giant connected component. Despite its very simple rules, percolation theory has successfully been applied to describe a large variety of natural, technological and social systems. Percolation models serve as important universality classes in critical phenomena characterized by a set of critical exponents which correspond to a rich fractal and scaling structure of their geometric features. In this review we will first outline the basic features of the ordinary model and take a glimpse at a number of selective variations and modifications of the original model. Directed percolation process will be also discussed as a prototype of systems displaying a nonequilibrium phase transition. After a short review on SLE, we will provide an overview on existence of the scaling limit and conformal invariance of the critical percolation. We will also establish a connection with the magnetic models. Recent applications of the percolation theory in natural and artificial landscapes are also reviewed.

Masculine Characteristics Across Race/Ethnicity, Gender, and Income
Creators: name: Webber, Jonathan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The concept of masculinity represents the behaviors and characteristics that are associated with being male. The traditional characteristics that have defined masculinity are mostly representative of a specific type of masculinity, namely White masculinity. This study aims to examine how these characteristics are evaluated across race/ethnicity, gender, and income. To do this, UNC undergraduates were sent an invitation to complete a survey evaluating masculine characteristics, the perceived masculinity and how close they feel to different racial/ethnic groups. The survey results were then analyzed and compared across various demographic categories.

description: First principle theoretical modeling of out-of-equilibrium processes observed in attosecond pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) triggering pure electron dynamics remains a challenging task, specially for heavy elements and/or core excitations containing fingerprints of scalar and spin-orbit relativistic effects. To address this, we formulate a methodology for simulating TAS within the relativistic real-time time-dependent density functional theory (RT-TDDFT) framework, for both the valence and core energy regime. Especially for TAS, full four-component (4c) RT simulations are feasible but computationally demanding. Therefore, in addition to the 4c approach, we also introduce the atomic mean-field exact two-component (amfX2C) Hamiltonian accounting for one- and two-electron picture-change corrections within RT-TDDFT. amfX2C preserves the accuracy of the parent 4c method at a fraction of its computational cost. Finally, we apply the methodology to study valence and near L$_{2,3}$-edge TAS processes of experimentally relevant systems and provide additional physical insights using relativistic non-equilibrium response theory.

Firstly, to enhance the model's processing ability for different scale targets, a multi-scale perception module based on dilated convolution is designed, and the depth features containing multi-scale information are re-refined from both spatial and channel directions considering the inconsistency between feature maps of different scales. Firstly, we designed a multi-scale perception module based on dilated convolution to enhance the model's processing ability for different scale targets. The depth features containing multi-scale information are re-refined from spatial and channel directions considering the inconsistency between feature maps of different scales. Secondly, so as to make the model obtain better 3D perception, this paper proposed to use the instance depth information as an auxiliary learning task to enhance the spatial depth feature of the 3D target and use the sparse instance depth to supervise the auxiliary task. Finally, by verifying the proposed algorithm on the KITTI test set and evaluation set, the experimental results show that compared with the baseline method, the proposed method improves by 5.27\% in AP40 in the car category, effectively improving the detection performance of the monocular 3D object detection algorithm.

The First Century of Carmen:  Drawing a Parallel Between the Evolution of the Opera’s Reception and Performance Practice and French Feminism Through Its Second Wave
Creators: name: Miller, Kennedy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Without the cultural ideologies and political victories of French feminism, the role of Carmen in the opera Carmen could not and would not have become the symbol of female liberation and sexual empowerment that she embodies today for opera audiences. 

The first part of this thesis will examine French feminism from the French Revolution until 1875, when the movement was almost exclusively located in Paris, where Carmen’s composer Georges Bizet (1838–1875) lived and was socially involved for most of his life. Although this thesis cannot argue for Bizet’s own opinions of these feminist ideologies, the uncanny similarities between the timeline of his own pre-Carmen operas, roughly 1863–1875, and the convoluted timeline of French feminist ideas will be considered in depth. 

The second part will investigate French feminism from 1875 until the turn of the century while examining Carmen’s premiere and its subsequent decade of performances across France and Spain, paying special attention to critical audience response and the interpretations by the mezzo-sopranos who sang the role, especially Celeste Galli-Marié (1837–1905), the original Carmen. The third part will consider Carmen’s Spanish adaptations and the French response, which reflected the racism imbedded in the white feminism of the twentieth century. 

Finally, the fourth part will examine first and second wave French feminism, especially the crucial Year of the Woman in 1975, ironically marking one century since Carmen’s premiere. This part will then provide a parallel investigation into the critical responses and performance interpretations, especially by Teresa Berganza (b. 1935), of Carmen productions in and around 1975. This thesis will conclude with a reflection on the continuing necessity for continued interrelationship between feminism and opera within the context of performance practice and audience reception.

description: The eROSITA bubbles are detected via the instrument with the same name. The northern bubble shows noticeable asymmetric features, including distortion to the west and enhancement in the eastern edge, while the southern counterpart is significantly dimmer. Their origins are debated. Here, we performed hydrodynamic simulations showing that asymmetric eROSITA bubbles favor a dynamic, circumgalactic medium wind model, but disfavor other mechanisms such as a non-axisymmetric halo gas or a tilted nuclear outflow. The wind from the east by north direction in Galactic coordinates blows across the northern halo with a velocity of about 200 km s$^{-1}$, and part of it enters the southern halo. This creates a dynamic halo medium and redistributes both density and metallicity within. This naturally explains the asymmetric bubbles in both the morphology and surface brightness. Our results suggest that our Galaxy is accreting low-abundance circumgalactic medium from one side while providing outflow feedback.

The Representation of Women and Racial Minorities in Cardiac Rehabilitation: An Integrative Literature Review of Referral, Enrollment, and Adherence
Creators: name: Caroline Rittenmeyer

description: 
     Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence-based intervention that assists individuals in managing a healthy heart and preventing secondary cardiac events. Individuals are typically advised to attend cardiac rehabilitation programs after experiencing a major cardiac event, such as a myocardial infarction. However, women and underrepresented racial and ethnic minority (UREM) populations have very low cardiac rehabilitation referral, enrollment, and adherence rates, as they face several barriers that may prevent them from participating in CR. The purpose of this study was to explore disparities in the referral, enrollment, participation, and adherence rates of women and UREM in cardiac rehabilitation programs to understand the factors that may explain their engagement in CR.

     A systematic review was conducted using Cooper’s five-step process (Whittemore & Knafl, 2005). With the assistance of a health sciences librarian, studies were identified using PubMed and CINAHL to examine disparities in CR for women and UREM populations. A total of 194 articles were screened and 35 articles were included in the final sample.

     The findings of this study revealed that women were less likely to be referred to, enroll in, participate in, and adhere to cardiac rehabilitation than men. Additionally, results showed that individuals from UREM groups were less likely to be referred to, enroll in, and adhere to cardiac rehabilitation. Interestingly, factors that reflect the social determinants of health and clinician perspectives impacted the participation of women and UREMs in cardiac rehabilitation.

     Additional research is needed to understand how clinician perspectives may be contributing to the decisions of women and UREM populations from attending cardiac rehabilitation. Additionally, recommendations for clinical practice and organization systems should examine referral processes to ensure that all appropriate individuals have access to cardiac rehabilitation programs, regardless of race, ethnicity, and gender.
Near-parabolic comets observed in 2006-2010. II. Their past and future motion under the influence of the Galaxy field and known nearby stars

description: Here, we continue this research with a detailed study of their past and future motion during previous and next orbital periods under the perturbing action of our Galactic environment. At all stages of our dynamical study, we precisely propagate in time the observational uncertainties of cometary orbits. For the first time in our calculations, we fully take into account individual perturbations from all known stars or stellar systems that closely (less than 3.5 pc) approach the Sun during the cometary motion in the investigated time interval of several million years. This is done by means of a direct numerical integration of the N-body system comprising of a comet, the Sun and 90 potential stellar perturbers. We show a full review of various examples of individual stellar action on cometary motion. We conclude that perturbations from all known stars or stellar systems do not change the overall picture of the past orbit evolution of long-period comets (LPCs).The future motion of them might be seriously perturbed during the predicted close approach of Gliese 710 star but we do not observe significant energy changes. The importance of stellar perturbations is tested on the whole sample of 108 comets investigated by us so far and our previous results, obtained with only Galactic perturbations included, are fully confirmed.We present how our results can be used to discriminate between dynamically new and old near-parabolic comets and discuss the relevance of the so-called Jupiter-Saturn barrier phenomenon. Finally, we show how the Oort spike in the 1/a-distribution of near-parabolic comets is built from both dynamically new and old comets. We also point out that C/2007 W1 seems to be the first serious candidate for interstellar provenience.
