description: The phase and stability of black strings in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (EGB) theory are investigated by using the large D effective theory approach. The spacetime metric and thermodynamics are derived up to the next-to-leading order (NLO) in the 1/D expansion. We find that the entropy current defined by the Iyer-Wald formula follows the second law. As in the Einstein theory, the entropy difference from the total mass produces an entropy functional for the effective theory. Including the NLO correction, we find that for the large Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant $α_{\rm GB}$, the Gregory-Laflamme instability of uniform black strings needs longer wavelength. Moreover, we show that the critical dimension, beyond which non-uiform black strings becomes more stable than uniform ones, increases as $α_{\rm GB}$ becomes large, and approaches to a finite value for $α_{\rm GB}\to \infty$.

description: The development of a spintronics device relies on efficient generation of spin polarized currents and their electric field controlled manipulation. While observation of exceptionally long spin relaxation lengths make graphene an intriguing material for spintronics studies, modulation of spin currents by gate field is almost impossible due to negligibly small intrinsic spin orbit coupling (SOC) of graphene. In this work, we create an artificial interface between monolayer graphene and few-layers semiconducting tungsten disulfide (WS2). We show that in such devices graphene acquires a SOC as high as 17meV, three orders of magnitude higher than its intrinsic value, without modifying any of the structural properties of the graphene. Such proximity SOC leads to the spin Hall effect even at room temperature and opens the doors for spin FETs. We show that intrinsic defects in WS2 play an important role in this proximity effect and that graphene can act as a probe to detect defects in semiconducting surfaces.

Properties of the Brunel Operator

Subjects: subject: Mathematics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: For T:X->X a Cesàro bounded linear operator on a Banach space X and for ψ the function on the closed unit disk given by ψ(z)=(1-sqrt(1-z))/z, we show that the Brunel operator A(T)=ψ(T) is power-bounded and satisfies the Ritt condition ||A^(n+1)(T)-A^n(T)||=O(1/n). We prove that when X is reflexive and T is mean ergodic, the invariant subspaces and coboundaries of T and A(T) coincide, as well as that the powers of the Brunel operator converge in the strong operator topology to the same T-invariant limit as the Cesàro averages of T. We show that when T is positive, the norm (resp. pointwise) convergence of the Cesàro averages of T is equivalent to the norm (resp. pointwise) convergence of the powers of A(T); in particular, this reduces the study of the pointwise convergence of the Cesàro averages of positive Cesàro bounded operators to the study of the pointwise convergence of the powers of positive Ritt operators. Alongside these results, we give an analogue of the spectral mapping theorem for the Brunel operator, and derive several asymptotic estimates for the series coefficients of the resolvent of A(T). Finally, we conclude by analyzing the iterates A(T), A(A(T)), ..., and give sufficient conditions for the limit of this iteration process to have the same invariant subspace and coboundary as T.
Reserved for the Worst of the Worst? An Analysis of the North Carolina Death Penalty System

Year: 2022

description: Since the creation of the modern death penalty system in the United States, there have been concerns about whether is being applied proportionately or if defendants are receiving the death penalty for arbitrary reasons. This study uses data from North Carolina between 1980 and 2018 to test whether the death penalty has been applied proportionately according to the severity of the capital crime and the defendant’s prior record, or if the defendant’s race influences their likelihood to receive a death sentence. The results show that the death penalty has not been applied proportionately and that white defendants are more likely to receive a death sentence than black defendants for similar crimes.

description: The webinar focused on ‘Obtaining agro-hydrological datasets in the marginal drylands of Jordan: two-sided lesson shared by scientists and farmers.’ A recently conducted initiative aims at investigating the rural watershed rehabilitation impacts in Jordan’s dry agro-pastoral areas, the so called Badia, where Bedouin tribes used to commute. A combination of locally confined high-yield agricultural operations with traditional and nature-based SLM’s in the watershed’s uplands are among the most promising technologies. However, concise data acquisition and interpretation through WOCAT require both i) state of the art monitoring methods and ii) applicability and management through the local communities. Sometimes it even requires a mix of those: advanced monitoring conducted by the local communities - as the sole option for on-site process verification during periods with limited field-access, such as triggered through COVID-19. Various methods of soil, water and plant dynamic assessment have been merged to generate input for WOCAT.

description: We present new evolutionary models of primordial very massive stars, with initial masses ranging from $100\,\mathrm{{M}_{\odot}}$ to $1000\,\mathrm{{M}_{\odot}}$, that extend from the main sequence until the onset of dynamical instability caused by the creation of electron-positron pairs during core C, Ne, or O burning, depending on the star's mass and metallicity. Mass loss accounts for radiation-driven winds as well as pulsation-driven mass-loss on the main sequence and during the red supergiant phase. After examining the evolutionary properties, we focus on the final outcome of the models and associated compact remnants. Stars that avoid the pair-instability supernova channel, should produce black holes with masses ranging from $\approx 40\, \mathrm{{M}_{\odot}}$ to $\approx 1000\,\mathrm{{M}_{\odot}}$. In particular, stars with initial masses of about $100\,\mathrm{{M}_{\odot}}$ could leave black holes of $\simeq 85-90\, \mathrm{{M}_{\odot}}$, values consistent with the estimated primary black hole mass of the GW190521 merger event. Overall, these results may contribute to explain future data from next-generation gravitational-wave detectors, such as the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer, which will have access to as-yet unexplored BH mass range of $\approx 10^2-10^4\,\mathrm{{M}_{\odot}}$ in the early universe.

Quality Improvement Project: A Cardiothoracic Nursing Perspective on Patient Ambulation
Creators: name: Carter, Gabby
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Hospitalized patients are a vulnerable population due to their risk for immobility and the consequences that result. Ambulation practice is an important nursing care that can combat this problem, but nurses in the hospital setting commonly miss this practice. This quality improvement project aims to address a cardiothoracic stepdown unit’s nurse ambulation culture through revealing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of this practice. The influence of an educational intervention was studied by utilizing a pre-existing survey before and after the implementation of a video and poster. The participants for this project were the nurses that staff the cardiothoracic stepdown unit at UNC Medical Center. A member of the unit’s quality improvement team sent the emails and surveys to twenty-five nurses requesting participation for this quality improvement project. The PDSA model (plan, do, study, act) was the format for this project. The project revealed important factors to ambulation practice such as the unit barriers to ambulation and unit strengths that could be targeted for future interventions to further promote ambulation. Although the educational intervention did not show significant changes between the pre-survey and the post-survey, valuable information has been gathered to help understand the cardiothoracic nurses’ role for the unit’s ambulation practice. This project plays an important role in promoting ambulation practice on a unit supporting interventions to improve their ambulation rates among inpatients.

description: Social media platforms and news organisations alike are struggling with identifying and combating visual mis/disinformation presented to their audiences. Such processes are complicated due to the enormous number of media items being produced, how quickly media items spread, and the often-subtle or sometimes invisible-to-the-naked-eye nature of deceptive edits. Despite knowing little about the provenance and veracity of the visual content they encounter, journalists have to quickly determine whether to re-publish or amplify this content, with few tools and little time available to assist them in such an evaluation. With the goal of equipping journalists with the mechanisms, skills, and knowledge to be effective gatekeepers and stewards of the public trust, this study reviews current journalistic image verification practices, examines a number of existing and emerging image verification technologies that could be deployed or adapted to aid in this endeavour, and identifies the strengths and limitations of the most promising extant technical approaches. While oriented towards practical and achievable steps in combating visual mis/disinformation, the study also contributes to discussions on fact-checking, source-checking, verification, debunking and journalism training and education.

description: Guillemot et al. recently reported the discovery of $γ$-ray pulsations from the 22.7ms pulsar (pulsar A) in the famous double pulsar system J0737-3039A/B. The $γ$-ray light curve (LC) of pulsar A has two peaks separated by approximately half a rotation, and these are non-coincident with the observed radio and X-ray peaks. This suggests that the $γ$-ray emission originates in a part of the magnetosphere distinct from where the radio and X-ray radiation is generated. Thus far, three different methods have been applied to constrain the viewing geometry of pulsar A (its inclination and observer angles $α$ and $ζ$): geometric modelling of the radio and $γ$-ray light curves, modelling of the position angle sweep in phase seen in the radio polarisation data, and independent studies of the time evolution of the radio pulse profile of pulsar A. These three independent, complementary methods have yielded consistent results: pulsar A's rotation axis is likely perpendicular to the orbital plane of the binary system, and its magnetic axis close to lying in the orbital plane (making this pulsar an orthogonal rotator). The observer is furthermore observing emission close to the magnetic axis. Thus far, however, current models could not reproduce all the characteristics of the radio and $γ$-ray light curves, specifically the large radio-to-$γ$ phase lag. In this paper we discuss some preliminary modelling attempts to address this problem, and offer ideas on how the LC fits may be improved by adapting the standard geometric models in order to reproduce the profile positions more accurately.

description: Matter coupling in modified gravity theories is a nontrivial issue when the gravitational Lagrangian possesses a degeneracy structure to avoid the problem of the Ostrogradsky ghost. Recently, this issue was addressed for bosonic matter fields in the generalized disformal Horndeski class, which is so far the most general class of ghost-free scalar-tensor theories obtained by performing a higher-derivative generalization of invertible disformal transformations on Horndeski theories. In this paper, we clarify the consistency of fermionic matter coupling in the generalized disformal Horndeski theories. We develop the transformation law for the tetrad associated with the generalized disformal transformation to see how it affects the fermionic matter coupling. We find that the consistency of the fermionic matter coupling requires an additional condition on top of the one required for the bosonic case. As a result, we identify a subclass of the generalized disformal Horndeski class which allows for consistent coupling of ordinary matter fields, including the standard model particles.

8-Bit and BitChute: How the Radical Right Creates Propaganda from Video Games
Creators: name: Beacham, Meagan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Video games and videos of video games are incredibly popular among young people – particularly children. For this reason, video games are commonly utilized by extremist groups in their propaganda. This study examines the different ways right-wing extremist content creators use visual video game motifs and audio manipulations within their propaganda on the website BitChute. The common techniques show that the difference between an innocent and a potentially radicalizing video game video is subtle. A parent or guardian cannot readily determine the innocent of a video their child is watching at a glance. Instead, this study aims to call attention to certain aspects of the video that should be flagged for a closer look.
Superior resilience of non-Gaussian entanglement against local Gaussian noises

description: Entanglement distribution task encounters a problem of how the initial entangled state should be prepared in order to remain entangled the longest possible time when subjected to local noises. In the realm of continuous-variable states and local Gaussian channels it is tempting to assume that the optimal initial state with the most robust entanglement is Gaussian too; however, this is not the case. Here we prove that specific non-Gaussian two-mode states remain entangled under the effect of deterministic local attenuation or amplification (Gaussian channels with the attenuation factor/power gain $κ_i$ and the noise parameter $μ_i$ for modes $i=1,2$) whenever $κ_1 μ_2^2 + κ_2 μ_1^2 < \frac{1}{4}(κ_1 + κ_2) (1 + κ_1 κ_2)$, which is a strictly larger area of parameters as compared to where Gaussian entanglement is able to tolerate noise. These results shift the ``Gaussian world'' paradigm in quantum information science (within which solutions to optimization problems involving Gaussian channels are supposed to be attained at Gaussian states).

Influence of a Positive Home Food Environment on Early Childhood Diet Quality
Creators: name: Slee, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Introduction. The home food environment has been identified to be a significant contributor to the overall diet quality of young, preschool age children. Within the home food environment, family meals are a time in which parents are able to enact targeted parenting practices such as modeling and encouraging balance and variety that can lead to improvements in home diet quality. Little research has examined the effect of the home food environment in young, preschool age children for early interventions to improve diet quality. Increased prevalence of these positive at home, mealtime practices may lead to improved diet quality in this population.
Methods. We used baseline data on parent-child dyads from the cluster, randomized control trial Healthy Me Healthy We. Linear regression models were run to assess the association between each of the at home predictor variables and child diet quality including interaction terms to assess the potential moderating effect of parent behaviors on the relationship between frequency of family meals and child diet quality. 
Results. Parent modeling at mealtimes and frequency of family meals had a significant association with higher reported child diet quality. Encouraging balance and variety was not significantly associated with improved child diet quality. Parent behaviors were not identified as a moderator of the association of frequency of family meals and child diet quality. 
Conclusion.  Targeting the home food environment and mealtime behaviors may be an important area to improve diet quality in preschool age children. Improving diet quality at a young age can improve dietary habits across the lifespan, leading to sustained physical and psychosocial benefits.
Seeking Solidarity: The Emergence of a Black-American Connection with Palestine, 1890s-1970s
Creators: name: Khan, Hana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the century-long history of Black-American ideas and actions of solidarity with the Palestinian people to understand the historical roots and characteristics of the contemporary Black-American advocacy for Palestinian rights. While providing an overview of the historical changes in the Black-American perceptions of Zionism, the Partition of Palestine, and the Palestinian struggle for justice, this thesis explores the relationship between the notion of race and transnational expressions of solidarity among Black-Americans and Palestinians.  The emergence of Black-American solidarity with Palestine originated in the second half of the 20th century. In the 1960s and ‘70s, many Black-Americans endorsed the Palestinian struggle for self-determination, thus considering Palestinians as fellow oppressed people of color resisting colonial forces. However, before the emergence of a Black-American connection to Palestine, many Black-Americans felt an affinity toward the global Jewish diaspora and shared sympathies with this population, particularly denouncing the discriminatory treatment of Jews in Europe. It was not until the wars after the Partition of Palestine that this solidarity among Black-Americans and Jewish populations began to shatter. Crucial to the emergence of a Black-American connection with Palestinians was Israel’s collusion with Britain and France in the Suez Crisis and Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War of 1967. With each war was the realization of Israel’s strength and colonial nature, thus giving rise to an emerging solidarity between Black-Americans and Palestinians.

description: We report on the development of highly sensitive SQUIDs featuring sub-micrometer loop dimensions. The integration of high quality and low capacitance SIS Nb/AlOx/Nb cross-type Josephson tunnel junctions results in white flux noise levels as low as 66 n$Φ_0$/Hz$^{ 1/2} $, well below state-of-the-art values of their Nb-based counterparts based on constriction type junctions. Estimation of the spin sensitivity of the best SQUIDs yield $S_μ^{ 1/2} < 7 μ_B$/Hz$^{ 1/2} $ in the white noise region, suitable for the investigation of small spin systems. We discuss fabrication challenges, show results on the electrical characterization of devices with various pickup loops, and describe options for further improvement, which may push the sensitivity of such devices even to single spin resolution.

description: Abstract
The relationships between finance and inequality are numerous, complex and intertwined. On the one hand, the impact of finance on inequality is difficult to pin down: there is as yet no academic consensus as to the sign of the relationship, with results varying widely depending on whether we focus on the size of the financial sector or on other more such as deregulation, or the role of banks. In any case, it appears that the impact is highly dependent on the country's institutional context. In the absence of solid institutions, the development of finance can be an opportunity for certain interest groups to capture rents, with negative consequences in terms of inequality.

description: A peculiar feature of quantum states is that they may embody so-called projective representations of symmetries rather than ordinary representations. Projective representations of space groups-the defining symmetry of crystals-remain largely unexplored. Despite recent advances in artificial crystals, whose intrinsic gauge structures necessarily require a projective description, a unified theory is yet to be established. Here, we establish such a unified theory by exhaustively classifying and representing all 458 projective symmetry algebras of time-reversal-invariant crystals from 17 wallpaper groups in two dimensions-189 of which are algebraically non-equivalent. We discover three physical signatures resulting from projective symmetry algebras, including the shift of high-symmetry momenta, an enforced nontrivial Zak phase, and a spinless eight-fold nodal point. Our work offers a theoretical foundation for the field of artificial crystals and opens the door to a wealth of topological states and phenomena beyond the existing paradigms.

Documenting a Low-Temperature, Brittle-to-Ductile Transition in the Blue Ridge of Western North Carolina
Creators: name: Boulter, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The Crabtree-Penland Fault Zone (CPFZ) is an interesting fault zone because it displays a transition from brittle behavior to ductile deformation at the macroscopic level. In this study, this transition was shown to have been facilitated by the growth of through-going chlorite surfaces, along which shearing was initiated. By using geothermometry to calculate the temperatures of formation for chlorites from the CPFZ and combining this data with synkinematic quartz fluid inclusion analyses (Borella, 2000), the chlorites were shown to have formed at temperatures consistent with the brittle deformation observed in the synkinematic feldspar and quartz. This is in contrast to the ductile deformation observed in the chlorite, proving that the growth of chlorite enabled the transition to ductile deformation at temperatures consistent with brittle deformation.
Out-of-Time-Order Correlation as a Witness for Topological Phase Transitions

description: We propose a physical witness for dynamically detecting topological phase transitions (TPTs) via an experimentally observable out-of-time-order correlation (OTOC). The distinguishable OTOC dynamics appears in the topological trivial and non-trivial phases due to the topological locality. In the long-time limit, the OTOC undergoes a {\it zero-to-finite-value transition} at the critical point of the TPTs. This transition is robust to the choices of the initial state of the system and the used operators in OTOC. The proposed OTOC witness can be applied into the systems with and without chiral symmetry, e.g., the lattices described by the SSH model, Creutz model, and Haldane model. Moreover, our proposal, as a physical witness in real space, is still valid even in the presence of disorder. Our work fundamentally offers a new prospect of exploring topological physics with quantum correlations.

description: Individuals enter into paid work with the expectation they will be financially better off than had they not entered into paid work. Unfortunately, for recipients of Income Assistance in the province of British Columbia (B.C.), additional hours of employment may actually take money out of their pocket due to the design of income assistance and its unintended interactions with other income and social support programs and the tax system. In this paper, we illustrate cases where B.C. residents receiving Disability Assistance or Temporary Assistance have less after-tax income after working additional hours of employment.

North Carolina Genealogists And Historical Newspapers: Usage, Contextualization And Critical Family History
Creators: name: Bradley, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Historical newspapers are a valuable tool for modern genealogists. With the digitization of newspapers, more family researchers are using them in their practice than ever before. This thesis examines how active North Carolina genealogists access, authenticate, evaluate, interpret, and contextualize historical newspaper records produced from 1877 to 1918. Notably, this qualitative research study also explores if and how interviewed North Carolina genealogists practice critical family history in their newspaper research. Results explore participant’s genealogy backgrounds, how they use and understand historical newspapers as sources, if and how they practice historical contextualization, how they align with five of Scodari’s (2016) requirements for critical family historians, and how they practice, consider, and value power dynamics and critical family history in their genealogy research.

Influences of an open system on lithium isotopes as a proxy for chemical weathering in soils from San Cristobal, Galapagos
Creators: name: Kent, Chloe
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Chemical weathering of silicate rocks is an important regulator of climatic conditions through the uptake and subsequent oceanic sequestration of atmospheric CO2. The two lithium isotopes, 6Li and 7Li, appear to be a highly promising proxy for quantifying chemical weathering rates of silicate weathering. Recent studies on the lithium isotopic system as a proxy for chemical weathering of basalt have had mixed results due to confounding variables such as eolian dust, marine aerosol, and plant cycling. This study is the first to examine the effects of potential confounding variables on lithium isotope fractionation during chemical weathering of basalts in San Cristobal, Galapagos. The results of the study reveal δ7Li values above that of the parent basalt for all three climate profiles (dry, transitional, wet) as a result of eolian and marine aerosol influences. Tau values of lithium for all three sampling locations show overall net gain of lithium from outside influences with sources and ages for these gains potentially differing between the transitional profile and the other two profiles. Smaller Tau values from the wet profile in comparison to the dry profile could indicate greater lithium loss and fractionation in the wet profile despite lithium input from outside sources. Strontium and lithium isotopic signatures as well as Tau values for the transitional climate profile indicate high input of lithium from marine aerosol, as well as increased age of soil in comparison to other two locations. Caution must be taken before using lithium isotopes as silicate chemical weathering proxies, and Tau values for most elements, 143Nd/144Nd ratios, 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios, CIA values, as well as XRD mineral analysis are all recommended methods for quantifying the efficacy of the chemical weathering proxy and non-weathering contamination of δ7Li in soil profiles.

description: Recently, short video platforms have achieved rapid user growth by recommending interesting content to users. The objective of the recommendation is to optimize user retention, thereby driving the growth of DAU (Daily Active Users). Retention is a long-term feedback after multiple interactions of users and the system, and it is hard to decompose retention reward to each item or a list of items. Thus traditional point-wise and list-wise models are not able to optimize retention. In this paper, we choose reinforcement learning methods to optimize the retention as they are designed to maximize the long-term performance. We formulate the problem as an infinite-horizon request-based Markov Decision Process, and our objective is to minimize the accumulated time interval of multiple sessions, which is equal to improving the app open frequency and user retention. However, current reinforcement learning algorithms can not be directly applied in this setting due to uncertainty, bias, and long delay time incurred by the properties of user retention. We propose a novel method, dubbed RLUR, to address the aforementioned challenges. Both offline and live experiments show that RLUR can significantly improve user retention. RLUR has been fully launched in Kuaishou app for a long time, and achieves consistent performance improvement on user retention and DAU.
