description: Three phenolic acids, p-coumaric, ferulic and caffeic acid as well as cinnamic acid were added to raw potatoes and sweet potatoes before frying. A distinct mitigation of acrylamide was not detected. Fried samples were analysed for postulated adducts of a direct reaction between acrylamide and these phenolic acids using LC-MS. In a model system with pure compounds (phenylacrylic acid and acrylamide) heated on 10% hydrated silica gel one specific adduct (respective m/z for M ​+ ​H+) was formed in each reaction. MS/MS-data suggested an oxa-Michael formation of 3-amino-3-oxopropyl-phenylacrylates, which was confirmed by de novo syntheses along an SN2 substitution of 3-chloropropanamide. Exemplarily, the structure of the ester was confirmed for p-coumaric acid by NMR-data. Standard addition revealed that 3-amino-(3-oxopropyl-phenyl)-acrylates occurred neither in fried potato nor in sweet potato, while a formation was shown in phenylacrylic acid plus acrylamide supplemented potatoes and sweet potatoes.

description: A method based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented to design quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) materials. With this development, various single-layer and bi-layer materials in C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb were predicted. A new Si bi-layer structure is found to have a much-favored energy than the previously widely accepted configuration. Both single-layer and bi-layer Si materials have small band gaps, limiting their usages in optoelectronic applications. Hydrogenation has therefore been used to tune the electronic and optical properties of Si layers. We discover two hydrogenated materials of layered Si8H2 and Si6H2 possessing quasi-direct band gaps of 0.75 eV and 1.59 eV, respectively. Their potential applications for light emitting diode and photovoltaics are proposed and discussed. Our study opened up the possibility of hydrogenated Si layered materials as next-generation optoelectronic devices.

description: We report the first experimental study of the effect of long-term (over 2 years) exposure to a stressor on cellular immune response Forty-three male cynomolgus monkeys were randomly assigned to stable or unstable social conditions for 26 months The proportion of time spent in affiliative behaviors was assessed by observations made twice weekly T-cell immune response (mitogen-stimulated cell proliferation) was assessed weekly for 3 weeks immediately following the 26-month manipulation The possibility that affiliative behavior represents an attempt to cope with social stress was supported by greater affiliation among animals in the unstable condition than in the stable condition Animals in the unstable condition also demonstrated relatively suppressed immune response More affiliative animals showed enhanced immune response, with the beneficial effects of affiliation occurring primarily among unstable animals The data are interpreted as consistent with the stress-buffering hypothesis, that is, affiliation protects animals from the potentially pathogenic influences of chronic social stress

description: Optical 3D geometry reconstruction, or more specific, fringe projection profilometry, is a state-of-the-art technique for the measurement of the shape of objects in confined spaces or under rough environmental conditions, e.g., while inspecting a wrought-hot specimen after a forging operation. While the contact-less method enables the measurement of such an object, the results are influenced by the light deflection effect occurring due to the inhomogeneous refractive index field induced by the hot air around the measurand. However, the developed active compensation methods to fight this issue exhibits a major drawback, namely an additional cooling of the object and a subsequent transient illumination component. In this paper, we investigate the cooling and its effect on temporal phase reconstruction algorithms and take a theoretical approach to its compensation. The simulated compensation measures are transferred to a fringe projection profilometry setup and are evaluated using established and newly developed methods. The results show a significant improvement when measuring specimens under a transient illumination and are easily transferable to any kind of multi-frequency phase-shift measurement.

description: It is known that non-commuting observables in quantum mechanics do not have joint probability. This statement refers to the precise (additive) probability model. I show that the joint distribution of any non-commuting pair of variables can be quantified via upper and lower probabilities, i.e. the joint probability is described by an interval instead of a number (imprecise probability). I propose transparent axioms from which the upper and lower probability operators follow. They depend only on the non-commuting observables and revert to the usual expression for the commuting case.

description: Children's thinking is highly variable at every level of analysis, from neural and associative levels to the level of strategies, theories, and other aspects of high-level cognition. This variability exists within people as well as between them; individual children often rely on different strategies or representations on closely related problems presented close in time. Recognizing such variability can help us both describe development more accurately and better explain how cognitive change occurs.
Design of particle dampers for additive manufacturing

subject: Dewey Decimal Classification::600 | Technik

description: Damping mechanisms are a crucial factor for influencing the vibration behavior of dynamic systems. In many applications vibrations are undesirable and need to be reduced by appropriate measures. For instance, vibrations in vehicles can reduce driving comfort or in civil engineering resonance damage can occur in constructions. An interesting and cost-effective way of increasing damping is particle damping. In modern processes of additive manufacturing, like laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), unmelted powder can be left inside a structure on purpose after making and thus producing integrated particle dampers already. Additively manufactured particle damping has not yet reached the industrial level because there are no detailed specifications for the design process. This includes the modeling of (non-linear) dynamic properties, based on numerous design parameters. The state of the art reveals that the effect of particle damping has been convincingly demonstrated, but transferability of the obtained information is still limited. In this paper the effect of particle damping is investigated experimentally with LPBF manufactured beam structures made of AlSi10Mg. Particle damping is evaluated in terms of performance curves for different beam parameter sets. The aim is to help the designer, who needs to keep amplitudes in certain range to estimate the damping of the potential particle damper via the given performance curves. Damping is determined via experimental modal analysis by impulse excitation. The response is evaluated in the frequency domain using the Circle-Fit method with a focus on the beams first bending mode of vibration. Beyond that, a significantly increased damping could be verified up to the seventh bending mode covering a frequency range between 600 Hz and 18k Hz. Damping through particle-filled cavities shows up to 20 times higher damping compared to the same component with fused powder.

description: We study the controllability of linearized shape-dependent operators for flow problems. The first operator is a mapping from the shape of the computational domain to the tangential wall velocity of the potential flow problem and the second operator maps to the wall shear stress of the Stokes problem. We derive linearizations of these operators, provide their well-posedness and finally show approximate controllability. The controllability of the linearization shows in what directions the observable can be changed by applying infinitesimal shape deformations.
Settlers, savages, and slaves: assimilation, racialism, and the civilizing mission in French Colonial Louisiana
Creators: name: Harris, Jeffrey Ryan
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: French-Amerindian interaction in the Louisiana colony forced French people to define what French identity was and who could be included in it. Some colonists believed that non-Europeans were assimilable and could--if properly educated and Christianized--become French like them. Others believed that non-Europeans were inferior and could corrupt French civilization if not kept in their place. Although the racialist perspective eventually prevailed in mid-eighteenth-century Louisiana, the Louisiana colony represented the continuity of earlier French fantasies of assimilating Indians, as well as the deeper history of racist pseudoscience. The debate in Louisiana between Catholic assimilationists and racial essentialists presaged the later tension throughout the French empire between the French Revolution's republican universalism and nineteenth-century pseudoscientific racism. The race debate in eighteenth-century Louisiana illuminates the Old Regime origins of nineteenth- and twentieth-century French colonial ideology and the global influence of the French colonial experience in the Gulf South.

description: Polysilicon-on-oxide (POLO) passivating contacts and interdigitated back-contact (IBC) cell technologies have recently attracted a lot of interest as candidates for the implementation in the next generation of solar cells. An IBC cell with POLO junctions for both polarities-a POLO2-IBC cell-has to electrically isolate the highly defective p+ and n+ poly-Si regions on the rear side of the cell to avoid parasitic recombination. Inserting an initially undoped, intrinsic (i) region between the p+ and n+ poly-Si regions was demonstrated to successfully prevent the parasitic recombination in the transition region of ISFH's 26.1%-efficient POLO2-IBC cell. In order to further improve the conversion efficiency towards 27%, we apply hydrogen-donating dielectric layer stacks to the p+-(i)-n+ POLO interdigitating rear side to enhance the passivation quality of the POLO junctions. We indeed show a significant improvement of POLO junctions on symmetrical full-Area homogenously doped reference samples, but when we apply a hydrogen-donating layer stack on the p+-(i)-n+ POLO interdigitating rear side, we observe a strong degradation in the performance of the POLO2-IBC cell. We attribute this to the formation of a conductive channel between the p+ and n+ poly-Si regions due to the strong negative charge density of the hydrogen-donating layer stack.

description: In this paper we propose weighted symmetric binary matrix factorization (wSBMF) framework to detect overlapping communities in bipartite networks, which describe relationships between two types of nodes. Our method improves performance by recognizing the distinction between two types of missing edges---ones among the nodes in each node type and the others between two node types. Our method can also explicitly assign community membership and distinguish outliers from overlapping nodes, as well as incorporating existing knowledge on the network. We propose a generalized partition density for bipartite networks as a quality function, which identifies the most appropriate number of communities. The experimental results on both synthetic and real-world networks demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

description: The aim of this work is to demonstrate the maturity of the TOPCon technology by conducting a round-robin on symmetrically processed lifetime samples in the leading European PV institutes EPFL, ISC, CEA-INES, ISFH, IMEC and Fraunhofer ISE within the H2020 funded project called HighLite. For all layers, dark saturation current-densities ranging between 2 and 10 fA/cm2 can be reported. Simultaneously, no metal induced recombination for the two lower sintering temperatures have been observed pointing towards a true passivated contact. Furthermore, contact resistivities below 10 mωcm2 have been achieved. It seems that the industrial passivating contact matured to a fully passivated and conducting contact enabling full efficiency potential. The fact that this can be realized using either PECVD or LPCVD from various manufacturer is expected to drive costs down and contribute to the increased adoption of the TOPCon technology.

description: The variational cluster approximation is used to study the frustrated Hubbard model at half filling defined on the two-dimensional square lattice with anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor hopping parameters. We calculate the ground-state phase diagrams of the model in a wide parameter space for a variety of lattice geometries, including square, crossed-square, and triangular lattices. We examine the Mott metal-insulator transition and show that, in the Mott insulating phase, magnetic phases with Néel, collinear, and spiral orders appear in relevant parameter regions, and in an intermediate region between these phases, a nonmagnetic insulating phase caused by the quantum fluctuations in the geometrically frustrated spin degrees of freedom emerges.

description: The distribution of meteor magnitudes is usually supposed to be described by power-laws. However, this relationship is not able to model the whole data set, and the parameters are considered to be dependent on the magnitude intervals. We adopt a statistical distribution derived from Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics which is able to model the whole magnitude range. We combined meteor data from various sources, ranging from telescopic meteors to lunar impactors. Our analysis shows that the probability distribution of magnitudes of IMO and MORP data are similar. The distribution of IMO visual magnitudes indicates that $2.4\pm0.5%$ of the meteors of a shower may be telescopic ($m> 6$). We note that the distribution of duration of lunar flashes follows a power-law, and a comparison with the distribution of meteor showers suggests the occurrence of observational bias. The IMO sporadic meteor distribution also seems to be influenced by observational factors.

Institutions, Protest, and Democratic Accountability in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia: Implications for the EU Accession Process

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: This thesis provides an analysis of the political institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia and the effect that they have on democratic accountability and the European Union (EU) accession process. It utilizes institutionalist theory to argue that post-war agreements created institutions in both countries that incentivized elites to take advantage of ethnic tensions and engage in illiberal practices that have immiserated citizens and stalled the EU accession process. It then compares the causes, methods, and outcomes of the mass protest movements that took place in Bosnia in 2014 and Macedonia in 2015 in response to illiberal behavior and explains why only the Macedonian protests were successful in holding elites accountable. The final section draws from the experiences of each country to discuss the future of each country’s relationship with the EU and the potential for each government to enact the liberal reforms necessary to progress in the EU accession process.

description: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) cell sheets combined with biomechanically competent scaffolds might facilitate ACL tissue engineering. Since thermoresponsive polymers allow a rapid enzyme-free detachment of cell sheets, we evaluated the applicability of a thermoresponsive poly(glycidyl ether) (PGE) coating for cruciate ligamentocyte sheet formation and its influence on ligamentocyte phenotype during sheet-mediated colonization of embroidered scaffolds. Liga-mentocytes were seeded on surfaces either coated with PGE or without coating. Detached liga-mentocyte sheets were cultured separately or wrapped around an embroidered scaffold made of polylactide acid (PLA) and poly(lactic-co-ε-caprolactone) (P(LA-CL)) threads functionalized by gas-phase fluorination and with collagen foam. Ligamentocyte viability, protein and gene expression were determined in sheets detached from surfaces with or without PGE coating, scaffolds seeded with sheets from PGE-coated plates and the respective monolayers. Stable and vital ligamentocyte sheets could be produced within 24 h with both surfaces, but more rapidly with PGE coating. PGE did not affect ligamentocyte phenotype. Scaffolds could be colonized with sheets associated with high cell survival, stable gene expression of ligament-related type I collagen, decorin, tenascin C and Mohawk after 14 d and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. PGE coating facilitates liga-mentocyte sheet formation, and sheets colonizing the scaffolds displayed a ligament-related pheno-type.

description: To further advance closed-loop control for soft robotics, suitable sensor and modeling strategies have to be investigated. Although there are many flexible and soft sensors available, the integration into the actuator and the use in a control loop is still challenging. Therefore, a state-space model for closed-loop low-level control of a fiber-reinforced actuator using pressure and orientation measurement is investigated. To do so, the integration of an inertial measurement unit and geometric modeling of actuator is presented. The piecewise constant curvature approach is used to describe the actuator’s shape and deformation variables. For low-level control, the chamber’s lengths are reconstructed from bending angles with a geometrical model and the identified material characteristics. For parameter identification and model validation, data from a camera tracking system is analyzed. Then, a closed-loop control of pressure and chambers’ length of the actuator is investigated. It will be shown, that the reconstruction model is suitable for estimating the state variables of the actuator. In addition, the use of the inertial measurement unit will demonstrate a cost-effective and compact sensor for soft pneumatic actuators.

How Enron collapsed at Ground Zero: tangled narratives in the new century
Creators: name: Genova, Rosalie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This article explores how narratives of the collapse of Enron Corp. were informed and influenced by the attacks of September 11, 2001, which occurred just a few months prior. Directly and indirectly, consciously and unconsciously, people describing the bankruptcy from a variety of angles made frequent analogies to “9-11” through imagery of implosion and collapse, and by comparing and even equating the causes and consequences of each of these “devastating” events. Developing the concept of “tangled narratives,” the study discusses how the Enron and September 11 narratives might best be understood as inter-tangled, and ends with a reflection on the idea of the tangle as a methodological tool in History and the study of culture and narrative.

description: Students come to science classes with preconceptions about the natural world and ways to explore that world to learn more about it. Students' prior beliefs may distort their understanding of how to design an experiment and also its purpose: to identify causal factors. These prior beliefs influence students' reasoning about experimentation, leading them to misconstrue instruction aimed at teaching them about the core component of experimental design: the Control of Variables Strategy (CVS). Many students erroneously interpret the instructional goal as to teach them some domain-specific knowledge or to produce a desired effect, rather than as how to execute a domain-general procedure for designing experiments. The behavior of late-elementary and middle school students is examined to categorize common misconceptions about the goal of the CVS instruction, describe how those misconceptions led to delays or failures in learning CVS, and suggest instructional procedures that can be used to remediate the misconceptions.

description: We study the masses and wave functions of heavy-light quark-antiquark system in the relativistic potential model, where we focus on the higher excited states of $B$ and $D$ mesons. The resonances of $D_J(2740)$, $D_J^*(2760)$, $D_J^*(3000)$ and $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$ recently observed in experiments are considered. We find that the four resonances can be identified as the $|1^{1,3}D_2\rangle$, $|1^3D_3\rangle$, $|1^{1,3}F_3\rangle$ and $|1^3D_3\rangle$ states due to the prediction to the states with $l=2$ and $l=3$ in the potential-model calculation. The masses of $n=2$ excited states are also calculated. All the observed mesons can be accommodated successfully in the potential model.

description: In innovation contexts, where the final aim is to reach the market with new products, services, and processes for profit, how can we ensure that citizens’ contributions to co-creation approaches can be adequately recognised and rewarded? What kind of options and mechanisms can innovation ecosystems adopt to incentivise citizen-led innovation for “societal alignment” (Kuzma et al., 2018)
 but also guarantee fair and transparent compensation for those who participate in the design or refinement of new marketable products? The focus of this deliverable is thus a multi-step approach to create ethical guidelines to be used as a reference during the implementation of open innovation programmes.

description: In this paper we consider the problem of extracting secret key from an eavesdropped source $p_{XYZ}$ at a rate given by the conditional mutual information. We investigate this question under three different scenarios: (i) Alice ($X$) and Bob ($Y$) are unable to communicate but share common randomness with the eavesdropper Eve ($Z$), (ii) Alice and Bob are allowed one-way public communication, and (iii) Alice and Bob are allowed two-way public communication. Distributions having a key rate of the conditional mutual information are precisely those in which a "helping" Eve offers Alice and Bob no greater advantage for obtaining secret key than a fully adversarial one. For each of the above scenarios, strong necessary conditions are derived on the structure of distributions attaining a secret key rate of $I(X:Y|Z)$. In obtaining our results, we completely solve the problem of secret key distillation under scenario (i) and identify $H(S|Z)$ to be the optimal key rate using shared randomness, where $S$ is the Gács-Körner Common Information. We thus provide an operational interpretation of the conditional Gács-Körner Common Information. Additionally, we introduce simple example distributions in which the rate $I(X:Y|Z)$ is achievable if and only if two-way communication is allowed.

description: Diffusion MRI tractography has emerged as a useful and popular tool for mapping connections between brain regions. In this study, we examined the performance of quantitative anisotropy (QA) in facilitating deterministic fiber tracking. Two phantom studies were conducted. The first phantom study examined the susceptibility of fractional anisotropy (FA), generalized factional anisotropy (GFA), and QA to various partial volume effects. The second phantom study examined the spatial resolution of the FA-aided, GFA-aided, and QA-aided tractographies. An in vivo study was conducted to track the arcuate fasciculus, and two neurosurgeons blind to the acquisition and analysis settings were invited to identify false tracks. The performance of QA in assisting fiber tracking was compared with FA, GFA, and anatomical information from T1-weighted images. Our first phantom study showed that QA is less sensitive to the partial volume effects of crossing fibers and free water, suggesting that it is a robust index. The second phantom study showed that the QA-aided tractography has better resolution than the FA-aided and GFA-aided tractography. Our in vivo study further showed that the QA-aided tractography outperforms the FA-aided, GFA-aided, and anatomy-aided tractographies. In the shell scheme (HARDI), the FA-aided, GFA-aided, and anatomy-aided tractographies have 30.7%, 32.6%, and 24.45% of the false tracks, respectively, while the QA-aided tractography has 16.2%. In the grid scheme (DSI), the FA-aided, GFA-aided, and anatomy-aided tractographies have 12.3%, 9.0%, and 10.93% of the false tracks, respectively, while the QA-aided tractography has 4.43%. The QA-aided deterministic fiber tracking may assist fiber tracking studies and facilitate the advancement of human connectomics.

description: In this paper we are considering a semilinear singular perturbation reaction -- diffusion boundary value problem, which contains a small perturbation parameter that acts on the highest order derivative. We construct a difference scheme on an arbitrary nonequidistant mesh using a collocation method and Green's function. We show that the constructed difference scheme has a unique solution and that the scheme is stable. The central result of the paper is $ε$-uniform convergence of almost second order for the discrete approximate solution on a modified Shishkin mesh. We finally provide two numerical examples which illustrate the theoretical results on the uniform accuracy of the discrete problem, as well as the robustness of the method.

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Meaning-in-life is valued across numerous scholarly disciplines and diverse cultures. However, the nature and structure of meaning remain unclear. A tripartite structure of meaning – Coherence, Purpose, and Significance – has recently garnered theoretical and empirical support, but comparisons with alternative structures have been limited. To gain psychometric clarity on the structure of meaning, we conducted four sets of analyses in a large (N = 1913) sample of undergraduate students: 1) a confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the validity of the tripartite structure, 2) exploratory factor analyses to evaluate possible alternative structures, 3) additional confirmatory factor analyses to evaluate the validity of promising alternative structures, and 4) comparisons of zero-order and partial correlations between the factors in these meaning structures and important life outcomes. We found moderately strong support for the tripartite structure of meaning and mixed support for two alternative structures. Notably, across structures, only Significance maintained unique associations with suicidal desire.

description: Targets of prejudice (e.g., women, racial/ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+-identified people) are often expected to confront—an active and direct expression of displeasure toward a person who has made prejudiced or offensive comments (Czopp et al., 2006)—a perpetrator of prejudice. However, the expectation that targets will confront their perpetrator comes with the barriers that their message will be ignored and that targets may experience social backlash (Czopp & Monteith, 2003), especially if the perpetrator has a different identity from the target (e.g., man, White, heterosexual). Glick (2014) highlights how this is where allies (nontargets) can be beneficial in confrontations of prejudice—allies break the expectation that targets confront prejudice, especially when the ally shares an identity with the perpetrator. But what hinders successful confrontations? How can allies be encouraged to confront prejudice? And what if the perpetrator of prejudice is a friend of the ally and how does that hinder a successful confrontation? This study examines the relationship between confrontation and the friendship between an ally and a coworker who makes an ambiguous, racial remark. Furthermore, the study examines how might fear of negative evaluation moderate the willingness to confront a racial remark.

description: This paper considers a family of inductive problems where reasoners must identify familiar categories or features on the basis of limited information. Problems of this kind are encountered, for example, when word learners acquire novel labels for pre-existing concepts. We develop a probabilistic model of identification and evaluate it in three experiments. Our first two experiments explore problems where a single category or feature must be identified, and our third experiment explores cases where participants must combine several pieces of information in order to simultaneously identify a category and a feature. Humans readily solve all of these problems, and we show that our model accounts for human inferences better than several alternative approaches.
