description: University-industry collaborations (UICs) are one of the main sources of external knowledge and technologies for industrial firms, particularly in the context of emerging markets (EMs) and firm development. It is thus highly relevant to identify potential barriers internal to the firm as well as in the regional innovation system that might prevent firms from using UICs for innovation, in particular in an EM context. In order to address this issue, we conduct a firm-level study of the R&D-related segment of the manufacturing industry in Istanbul. Logistic regression analysis is used to test the effect of potential barriers on using UICs for innovative activities. With this approach, we are able to identify barriers that prevent innovation-related UICs and thus form a bottleneck to collaborations in the first place. Our findings show that lack of information about UIC opportunities as well as lack of financial support for UICs are the most relevant barriers that inhibit firms’ usage of UICs for innovation. This firm-level evidence points out the importance of university technology transfer offices in regional innovation systems and for fruitful UICs. We further find that administrative barriers have no significant effect, while barriers related to trust and skill matching with scientific partners even have a reverse effect to what we would have expected from the literature. This finding might point towards an effect of perceived versus deterring barriers that has been observed in innovation studies before and might be relevant for studying UICs as well.

description: A fundamental trade-off relation between the cross sectional confinement and propagation length of an arbitrary mode of a general waveguide is presented. This limit is a generalization of the well-known diffraction limit for guided modes. The results provide a lower bound on propagation loss of plasmonic waveguides which are attractive for their deep subwavelength mode dimensions. We also introduce a material loss merit factor that sets a criterion for comparing different plasmonic materials for achieving the best trade-off between confinement and loss.

Crypts-on-a-Chip: Developing an ex vivo Model of the Intestinal Crypts
Creators: name: Puthoff, Brent J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Currently, stem cell behavior following injury, inflammation, and viral/bacterial challenge is difficult to study in vivo due to the inability to control variables, limited human tissue resources, the prohibitive costs involved with animal studies, and/or the lack of cross-species infection by species-specific microbes. The goal of this thesis is to develop an ex vivo model of the gut epithelium and underlying mesenchyme to facilitate studies that are not possible due to these technical, ethical, and financial constraints. Microfabricated well arrays that mimic intestinal crypt dimensions demonstrated that PDLA, polystyrene, and 1002F promote proliferation of gut myofibroblasts more rapidly than PDMS. Methods were developed to enhance crypt seeding into microwells and standardize the isolation of epithelial tissue. Advanced 3-D imaging techniques using multi-photon excitation (MPE) and Imaris were also developed. These studies are a stepping stone in the development of an organ-on-a-chip for the intestine, and provide proof of concept for intestinal tissue engineering with microfabricated scaffolds.

description: Les établissements publics évoluent dans une ambiance constante de dualité, entre un environnement conservateur et un environnement novateur (Osborne2010). Les questions de performance, d'efficience de qualité, de service aux citoyens, et de transparence (Mazouz et leclere, 2008) sont au cœur des préoccupations de ces établissements publics. Par conséquent, appréhender la performance au travers de la fonction des ressources humaines peut être des pistes possibles pour atteindre de meilleurs objectifs 
Notre objectif dans cet article est de démontrer que la manière dont les ressources humaines sont gérées sur un plan stratégique a un impact sur la performance des établissements publics à travers la pratique formation. (delery et doty (1996) ;Huselid (1995) ;Pfeffer et veiga (1999). 
Nous adoptons la démarche hypothético-déductive, et nous nous inscrivons dans le positivisme aménagé dans le cadre d'une étude qualitative.  Cette démarche ambitionne d'analyser le rôle de la pratique formation et son impact sur la performance organisationnelle dans les établissements publics.

description: OBJECTIVE: To employ a risk and resistance framework to examine changes in metabolic control over early to middle adolescence.
METHODS: We interviewed 70 girls and 62 boys (mean age 12 years) annually for 4 years. Risk and resistance factors, including demographics, disease-related variables, self-care behavior, and psychosocial variables were assessed. Hemoglobin A1c was obtained from medical records.
RESULTS: Multilevel modeling showed metabolic control deteriorated with age. Self-care behavior interacted with age to predict the decline, such that self-care was more strongly related to poor metabolic control for older adolescents. Eating disturbances, depression, and peer relations were related to poor metabolic control, whereas good family relations were related to better metabolic control for girls.
CONCLUSIONS: Independent risk factors for poor metabolic control included poor self-care, disturbed eating behavior, depression, and peer relations; parental support was an independent resistance factor for girls. Future research should examine mechanisms by which these relations emerge.

description: Hydrogen crossover poses a crucial issue for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) water electrolysers in terms of safe operation and efficiency losses, especially at increased hydrogen pressures. Besides the impact of external operating conditions, the structural properties of the materials also influence the mass transport within the cell. In this study, we provide an analysis of the effect of elevated cathode pressures (up to 15 bar) in addition to increased compression of the membrane electrode assembly on hydrogen crossover and the cell performance, using thin Nafion 212 membranes and current densities up to 3.6 A cm-2. It is shown that a higher compression leads to increased mass transport overpotentials, although the overall cell performance is improved due to the decreased ohmic losses. The mass transport limitations also become visible in enhanced anodic hydrogen contents with increasing compression at high current densities. Moreover, increases in cathode pressure are amplifying the compression effect on hydrogen crossover and mass transport losses. The results indicate that the cell voltage should not be the only criterion for optimizing the system design, but that the material design has to be considered for the reduction of hydrogen crossover in PEM water electrolysis.

description: Cognitive science aims to reverse-engineer the mind, and many of the engineering challenges the mind faces involve induction. The probabilistic approach to modeling cognition begins by identifying ideal solutions to these inductive problems. Mental processes are then modeled using algorithms for approximating these solutions, and neural processes are viewed as mechanisms for implementing these algorithms, with the result being a top-down analysis of cognition starting with the function of cognitive processes. Typical connectionist models, by contrast, follow a bottom-up approach, beginning with a characterization of neural mechanisms and exploring what macro-level functional phenomena might emerge. We argue that the top-down approach yields greater flexibility for exploring the representations and inductive biases that underlie human cognition.

description: A useful framework for understanding the mental representation of facial identity is face-space (Valentine, 1991), a multi-dimensional cognitive map in which individual faces are coded relative to the average of previously encountered faces, and in which the distance among faces represents their perceived similarity. We examined whether individuals with prosopagnosia, a disorder characterized by an inability to recognize familiar faces despite normal visual acuity and intellectual abilities, evince behavior consistent with this underlying representational schema. To do so, we compared the performance of 6 individuals with congenital prosopagnosia (CP), with a group of age- and gender-matched control participants in a series of experiments involving judgments of facial identity. We used digital images of male and female faces and morphed them to varying degrees relative to an average face, to create caricatures, anti-caricatures, and anti-faces (i.e. faces of the opposite identity). Across 5 behavioral tasks, CP individuals’ performance was similar to that of the control group and consistent with the face-space framework. As a test of the sensitivity of our measures in revealing face processing abnormalities, we also tested a single acquired prosopagnosic (AP) individual, whose performance on the same tasks deviated significantly from the control and CP groups. The findings suggest that, despite an inability to recognize individual identities, CPs perceive faces in a manner consistent with norm-based coding of facial identity, although their representation is likely supported by a feature-based strategy. We suggest that the apparently normal posterior cortical regions, including the fusiform face area, serve as the neural substrate for at least a coarse, feature-based face-space map in CP and that their face recognition impairment arises from the disconnection between these regions and more anterior cortical sites.
Hexatic phase and cluster crystals of two-dimensional GEM4 spheres

description: Two-dimensional crystals of classical particles are very peculiar in that melting may occur in two steps, in a continuous fashion, via an intermediate hexatic fluid phase exhibiting quasi-long-range orientational order. On the other hand, three-dimensional spheres repelling each other through a fast-decaying bounded potential of generalized-exponential shape (GEM4 potential) can undergo freezing into cluster crystals, allowing for more that one particle per lattice site. We hereby study the combined effect of low spatial dimensionality and extreme potential softness, by investigating the phase behavior of the two-dimensional (2D) GEM4 system. Using a combination of density-functional theory and numerical free-energy calculations, we show that the 2D GEM4 system displays one ordinary and several cluster triangular-crystal phases, and that only the ordinary crystal first melts into a hexatic phase. Upon heating, the difference between the various cluster crystals fades away, eventually leaving a single undifferentiated cluster phase with a pressure-modulated site occupancy.

Social Media Use and Its Impact on Body Image: The Effects of Body Comparison Tendency, Motivation for Social Media Use, and Social Media Platform on Body Esteem in Young Women
Creators: name: Puglia, Deanna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of social media use on body esteem in young women. Through a self-report survey of college women (n=339), it was found that body comparison tendency was negatively correlated with body esteem and positively correlated with the motivation to use social media for body comparisons (both p<.01). This study also provided an exploratory investigation (n=58) of the impact that different social media platforms have on body satisfaction. Of the platforms examined, Facebook showed the largest negative correlation with body satisfaction (r=-.204). Participants who engaged in higher levels of Facebook use also displayed significantly lower body satisfaction than those with lower Facebook use (p<.05). This study suggests that social media is a new avenue for individuals to engage in maladaptive body comparison processes, creating a need for health communication and behavior change interventions that address this issue, especially among vulnerable populations.

description: The Pauli groups are ubiquitous in quantum information theory because of their usefulness in describing quantum states and operations and their readily understood symmetry properties. In addition, the most well-understood quantum error correcting codes -- stabilizer codes -- are built using Pauli operators. The eigenstates of these operators -- stabilizer states -- display a structure (e.g., mutual orthogonality relationships) that has made them useful in examples of multi-qubit non-locality and contextuality. Here, we apply the graph-theoretical contextuality formalism of Cabello, Severini and Winter to sets of stabilizer states, with particular attention to the effect of generalizing two-level qubit systems to odd prime d-level qudit systems. While state-independent contextuality using two-qubit states does not generalize to qudits, we show explicitly how state-dependent contextuality associated with a Bell inequality does generalize. Along the way we note various structural properties of stabilizer states, with respect to their orthogonality relationships, which may be of independent interest.

Psychological interventions and the immune system: A meta-analytic review and critique.

description: This article reviews evidence for the hypothesis that psychological interventions can modulate the inumme response in humans and presents a series of models depicting the psychobiological pathways through which this might occur. Although more than 85 trials have been conducted, meta-analyses reveal only in modest evidence that interventions can reliably alter immune parameters. The most consistent evidence emerges from hypnosis and conditioning trials. Disclosure and stress management show scattered evidence of success. Relaxation demonstrates little capacity to elicit immune change. Although these data provide only modest evidence of successful immune modulation, it would be premature to conclude that the immune system is unresponsive to psychological interventions. This literature has important conceptual and methodological issues that need to be resolved before any definitive conclusions can be reached.

description: Objective: The objective of this review was to evaluate the evidence for the hypothesis that psychological stress
influences antibody response to immunization in humans. Methods: A critical review of the literature was
conducted. Results: The evidence supports an association between psychological stress and suppression of humoral
immune (antibody) response to immunization. This association is convincing in the case of secondary immune
response but weak for primary response. The lack of consistent evidence for a relation with primary response may
be attributed to a failure to consider the critical points when stress needs to be elevated in the course of the
production of antibody. Lower secondary antibody responses were found among patients with chronically high
levels of stress (severe enduring problems or high levels of trait negative affect). These responses were found most
consistently among older adults. Lower secondary responses were also found for those reporting acute stress or
negative affect, but only in studies of secretory immunoglobulin A antibody in which psychological and antibody
measures were linked very closely in time. Health practices did not mediate relations between stress and antibody
responses; however, there were indications that elevated cortisol levels among stressed patients could play a role.
Evidence also suggests the possible influences of dispositional stress-reactivity and low positive affect in the
inhibition of antibody production. Conclusions: The literature supports a relationship between psychological stress
and antibody responses to immunizations. The data are convincing in the case of secondary response but weak for
primary response. More attention to the kinetics of stress and antibody response and their interrelations is needed
in future research.

description: Transparent oxides are essential building blocks to many technologies, ranging from components in transparent electronics, transparent conductors, to absorbers and protection layers in photovoltaics and photoelectrochemical devices. However, thus far, it has been difficult to develop p-type oxides with wide band gap and high hole mobility; current state-of-art transparent p-type oxides have hole mobility in the range of < 10 cm$^2$/Vs, much lower than their n-type counterparts. Using high-throughput computational screening to guide the discovery of novel oxides with wide band gap and high hole mobility, we report the computational identification and the experimental verification of a bismuth-based double-perovskite oxide that meets these requirements. Our identified candidate, Ba$_2$BiTaO$_6$, has an optical band gap larger than 4 eV and a Hall hole mobility above 30 cm$^2$/Vs. We rationalize this finding with molecular orbital intuitions; Bi$^{3+}$ with filled s-orbitals strongly overlap with the oxygen p, increasing the extent of the metal-oxygen covalency and effectively reducing the valence effective mass, while Ta$^{5+}$ forms a conduction band with low electronegativity, leading to a high band gap beyond the visible range. Our concerted theory-experiment effort points to the growing utility of a data-driven materials discovery and the combination of both informatics and chemical intuitions as a way to discover future technological materials.

The effects of diesel exhaust particles or titanium dioxide nanoparticles on pulmonary inflammation
Creators: name: Griggs, Jennifer Lynn
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Pulmonary exposure to particulate matter has been associated with development of pulmonary inflammation which can lead to pulmonary illnesses and diseases. Various cultures have turned to various dietary supplements to treat pulmonary inflammation. In this study, BEAS 2 B cells were pre-treated with curcumin or sulforaphane dietary extracts prior to diesel exhaust particle (DEP) challenge while MHS cells were exposed to various sizes of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. These two systems allowed me to examine whether particulates can up-regulate biomarkers of inflammation and whether supplements can mitigate inflammation via altering signal transduction in multiple pathways. I hypothesized that all particulate matter would activate pro-inflammatory signal transduction and pre-treatment with extracts would enhance antioxidant response after DEP challenge. In this study, inflammatory biomarkers were only enhanced in DEP challenged cells after supplement pre-treatment while only NQO-1 antioxidant response was enhanced. Inflammatory biomarkers were enhanced in cells exposed to the smallest-sized titanium dioxide particles.

Involvement of the lateral orbitofrontal cortex in context-induced and cocaine-primed reinstatement of cocaine seeking behavior in rats
Creators: name: Lasseter, Heather C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) damage produces impaired decision-making, impulsivity, and perseveration of maladaptive behaviors and it potentially contributes to compulsive drug seeking in cocaine users. To investigate whether lOFC damage contributes to enhanced context-induced cocaine seeking in an animal model of drug relapse, the effects of lOFC temporary functional inactivation, pre-training lesions, and post-training lesions were assessed on the reinstatement of previously extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior (i.e., non-reinforced responses on a previously cocaine-paired lever). All rats were trained to lever press for intravenous cocaine infusions (0.2 mg/infusion) in a distinct environmental context followed by extinction training in a different context where cocaine was not available. In experiment 1 we assessed whether acute loss of lOFC output alters context-induced cocaine-seeking behavior by infusing either the GABA receptor agonists, baclofen and muscimol (1.0 mM, 0.5 µl/side), or vehicle into the lOFC or mOFC anatomical control region immediately before re-exposure to the cocaine-paired context. To evaluate the effects of long-term loss of lOFC output on this behavior, in experiment 2 we assessed the effects of pre-training bilateral NMDA (0.1 M, 0.6 µl/side) or sham lesions of the lOFC on cocaine-seeking behavior elicited by either re-exposure to the cocaine-paired context or a cocaine priming injection (0 or 10 mg/kg, i.p.) administered immediately before exposure to the extinction context. GABA agonist-induced functional inactivation of the lOFC, but not mOFC, significantly attenuated context-induced cocaine seeking (Fuchs et al., 2004). In contrast, pre-training lOFC lesions enhanced cocaine context-induced cocaine seeking, but failed to alter cocaine-primed cocaine seeking. To identify whether the timing of the lOFC manipulation underlies this discrepancy, in experiment 3 we assessed the effects of post-training lOFC lesions on context-induced cocaine-seeking behaviors. In contrast to the effects of pre-training lesions and functional inactivation, post-training lOFC lesions failed to alter context-induced cocaine-seeking behavior. Overall, the results of the functional inactivation experiment suggest that the lOFC promotes context-induced cocaine-seeking behavior. However, prolonged loss of lOFC output may enhance the motivational salience of the cocaine-paired environmental stimuli by eliciting compensatory neuroadaptations, which may develop over time such that the effects of post-training lOFC lesions reflect an intermediate state of compensatory neuroplasticity.

description: In the later part of the nineteenth century, Chinese communities in the northern Rocky Mountains and Plains could be characterized by one basic generalization: few Chinese women and children lived in these communities. Alberta, Canada, in 1891, had one Chinese woman living in the Province and by 1901, when the next census was taken; she had moved away (Alberta Census 1891, 1901). More typical of the interior west were places like Silver Bow County, Montana, or Rock Springs, Wyoming, where one or more women lived amidst a predominately male population (U.S. Census, Montana and Wyoming, 1880). In Rock Springs, for example, there were 335 Chinese men in 1880 and only one woman.1 Having given these generalizations, there are some exceptions. Specifically, in the 1800s, in places like Helena, Montana and, Evanston, Wyoming, Chinese families and women made up at least a small portion of the population. There are three generalizations that can be made about Chinese in Wyoming during the second half of the nineteenth century. First, Chinese were a distinct minority in Wyoming. Second, the ratio of Chinese women to men was even less than the male to female ratio in most frontier communities in Wyoming. Third, very few Chinese children lived in Wyoming. In this paper we will focus on the Chinese women who lived in Evanston, Wyoming from 1869 to 1900. We will look briefly at the historical record, then at material cultural remains that distinguish women’s spaces from male spaces at the Evanston Chinatown. Specifically, we will look at jewelry pieces found in excavation and then show that in at least one case in the area excavated at the Evanston Chinatown one Chinese woman and children lived within a space belonging to a high-status family.

description: On the basis of a review of the literature and three new experiments, Fowler (2006) concludes that
a contrast account for phonetic context effects is not tenable and is inferior to a gestural account. We
believe that this conclusion is premature and that it is based on a restricted set of assumptions about
a general perceptual account. Here, we briefly address the criticisms of Fowler (2006), with the intent
of clarifying what a general auditory and learning approach to speech perception entails.

description: Class S theories are an important type of 4d N = 2 theories drawing people’s attention. This thesis aims to talk about several interesting parts related to supersymmetric defects. We begin with an introduction containing some background for the Class S theory. An important piecewise invariant we can calculate in a class S theory is the BPS index, it can be obtained using supersymmetric interfaces. We study a specific example of Minahan-Nemeschansky E₇ theory, and calculate BPS indices using spectral network. This part is based on the joint work with Lotte Hollands and Andrew Neitzke[85]. We also introduce a special type of theories found in class S theories which are actually factorized into multiple decoupled nontrivial theories. We propose a way of constructing examples of this phenomenon using the physics of surface defects, and check that it works in one simple example. We also present explicit checks that the Coulomb branch of a putative factorized class S theory has the expected product structure, in two examples. This is based on the joint work with Behzat Ergun, Andrew Neitzke and Fei Yan[54]. At last, we introduce a connection between 4d N = 2 theories and differential equations, and enlarge the dictionary to include the 2d-4d BPS states. We study different definitions of quantum periods which are related to vevs of line defects in the example of SU(2) N [subscript f]=1 theory and provide some evidence for the equivalence between different definitions. This is based on the joint work with Alba Grassi and Andrew Neitzke[79].
The two-point function of bicolored planar maps

description: We compute the distance-dependent two-point function of vertex-bicolored planar maps, i.e., maps whose vertices are colored in black and white so that no adjacent vertices have the same color. By distance-dependent two-point function, we mean the generating function of these maps with both a marked oriented edge and a marked vertex which are at a prescribed distance from each other. As customary, the maps are enumerated with arbitrary degree-dependent face weights, but the novelty here is that we also introduce color-dependent vertex weights. Explicit expressions are given for vertex-bicolored maps with bounded face degrees in the form of ratios of determinants of fixed size. Our approach is based on a slice decomposition of maps which relates the distance-dependent two-point function to the coefficients of the continued fraction expansions of some distance-independent map generating functions. Special attention is paid to the case of vertex-bicolored quadrangulations and hexangulations, whose two-point functions are also obtained in a more direct way involving equivalences with hard dimer statistics. A few consequences of our results, as well as some extension to vertex-tricolored maps, are also discussed.

Color Image Enhancement Using the lrgb Coordinates in the Context of Support Fuzzification
Creators: name: Patrascu, Vasile
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Image enhancement is an important stage in the image-processing domain. The most known image enhancement method is the histogram equalization. This method is an automated one, and realizes a simultaneous modification for brightness and contrast in the case of monochrome images and for brightness, contrast, saturation and hue in the case of color images. Simple and efficient methods can be obtained if affine transforms within logarithmic models are used. A very important thing in the affine transform determination for color images is the coordinate system that is used for color space representation. Thus, the using of the RGB coordinates leads to a simultaneous modification of luminosity and saturation. In this paper using the lrgb perceptual coordinates one can define affine transforms, which allow a separated modification of luminosity l and saturation s (saturation being calculated with the component rgb in the chromatic plane). Better results can be obtained if partitions are defined on the image support and then the pixels are separately processed in each window belonging to the defined partition. Classical partitions frequently lead to the appearance of some discontinuities at the boundaries between these windows. In order to avoid all these drawbacks the classical partitions may be replaced by fuzzy partitions. Their elements will be fuzzy windows and in each of them there will be defined an affine transform induced by parameters using the fuzzy mean, fuzzy variance and fuzzy saturation computed for the pixels that belong to the analyzed window. The final image is obtained by summing up in a weight way the images of every fuzzy window.
