Bridging the Gap: USDA Dietary Guidelines vs. Refeeding Diet for Anorexia Nervosa
Creators: name: Elder, Lauren
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: USDA dietary guidelines are drastically different from the dietary guidelines for refeeding individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN). While the refeeding guidelines are set to promote maximum safe weight gain during hospitalization, they achieve this goal with high fat, high sugar, and energy dense foods—foods that dietitians strongly discourage for most other populations. An extensive literature review suggests that the current refeeding diet may be predisposing patients with AN to unfavorable biological changes, such as hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia. Furthermore, the speed and transition of refeeding must be reevaluated, as should the increasingly frequent use of novel antipsychotics that promote weight gain. Clinical recommendations are to promote weight gain using healthier alternatives, and when not possible, to incorporate nutrition counseling sessions that include transitioning from a refeeding diet to the general USDA Guidelines when weight maintenance becomes the therapeutic goal. Further research on healthy inpatient refeeding diets for AN is recommended.

description: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering describes the ability of one observer to nonlocally "steer" the other observer's state through local measurements. It exhibits a unique asymmetric property, i.e., the steerability of one observer to steer the other's state could be different from each other, which can even lead to a one-way EPR steering, i.e., only one observer obtains the steerability in the two-observer case. This property is inherently different from the symmetric concepts of entanglement and Bell nonlocality and has been attracted increasing interests. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the asymmetric EPR steering for a class of two-qubit states in the case of two measurement settings. We propose a practical method to quantify the steerability. We then provide a necessary and sufficient condition for EPR steering and clearly show the case of one-way EPR steering. Our work provides a new insight on the fundamental asymmetry of quantum nonlocality and would find potential application in asymmetric quantum information processing.

A summary of the mechanism of pain relief following regenerative medicine procedures: A scoping review
Creators: name: Pierce, Kaylie
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: offers this as therapy to patients, there are significant questions remaining regarding the mechanisms of analgesia in response to regenerative medicine therapies. While one might expect that the pain relief is due to the regenerative properties of these therapies, significant tissue regeneration has not been demonstrated in most studies. The mechanisms of pain relief have been found to be related more to the neuroimmune modulation that occurs following regenerative medicine procedures rather than tissue regeneration. Other proposed mechanisms for analgesia include biochemical alterations as well as biomechanical alterations following regenerative medicine. This scoping review will describe these specific mechanisms of pain relief that are currently being studied.

High-scale validity of a model with Three-Higgs-doublets
Creators: name: Chakrabarty, Nabarun
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a three-Higgs doublet scenario in this paper, invariant under the discrete group S3 , and probe its high-scale validity by allowing the model parameters to evolve under a renormalization group. We choose two particular alignments of vacuum expectation values (vev) for our study, out of a set of several such possible ones. All three doublets receive nonzero vacuum expectation values in the first case, and in the second case, two of the doublets remain without vev. The constraints on the parameter space at low energy, including the measured value of the Higgs mass and the signal strengths, oblique corrections and also measurements of relic density and direct detection rates are juxtaposed with the conditions of vacuum stability, perturbativity and unitarity at various scales. We find that the scenario with three nonzero vevs is not valid beyond 107 GeV, assuming no additional physics participates at the intermediate scales. On the contrary, the scenario with only one nonzero vev turns out to be a successful model for cold dark matter phenomenology, which also turns out to be valid up to the Planck scale at the same time. Stringent restrictions are obtained on the model parameter space in each case. Thus, the S3 symmetric scalar sector emerges as an ultraviolet complete theory.

description: Previous searches for the $γ$-ray signatures of annihilating galactic dark matter used predefined spatial templates to describe the background of $γ$-ray emission from astrophysical processes like cosmic ray interactions. In this work, we aim to establish an alternative approach, in which the astrophysical components are identified solely by their spectral and morphological properties. To this end, we adopt the recent reconstruction of the diffuse $γ$-ray sky from Fermi data by the D$^{3}$PO algorithm and the fact that more than 90\% of its flux can be represented by only two spectral components, resulting form the dense and dilute interstellar medium. Under these presumptions, we confirm the reported DM annihilation-like signal in the inner Galaxy and derive upper limits for dark matter annihilation cross sections. We investigate whether the DM signal could be a residual of the simplified modeling of astrophysical emission by inspecting the morphology of the regions, which favor a dark matter component. The central galactic region favors strongest for such a component with the expected spherically symmetric and radially declining profile. However, astrophysical structures, in particular sky regions which seem to host most of the dilute interstellar medium, obviously would benefit from a DM annihilation-like component as well. Although these regions do not drive the fit, they warn that a more detailed understanding of astrophysical $γ$-ray emitting processes in the galactic center region are necessary before definite claims about a DM annihilation signal can be made. The regions off the Galactic plane actually disfavor the best fit DM annihilation cross section from the inner Galactic region unless the radial decline of the Galactic DM density profile in the outer regions is significantly steeper than that usually assumed.

Rethink wellness nutrition and fitness consultants: a business plan
Creators: name: Mason, Kamaria
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: My passion to inspire and support individual behavior change through nutrition education and counseling is deeply rooted in my past and present experiences with my family, friends, and patients. At eight years old my nephew was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This premature diagnosis was a direct result of prolonged poor nutrition and physical inactivity. Throughout college, I witness friends (particularly African- American) struggle with weight management. For several years after college, I worked with research and community projects with African-American populations and I witnessed firsthand the environmental and individual barriers that deterred African-American adults and children from making healthy lifestyle choices. During my dietetic internship experiences at Cabarrus Health Alliance (Kannapolis, NC), Novant Hospital (Huntersville, NC), and WakeMed Hospital (Raleigh, NC), I noticed that the vast majority of the patients I encountered struggling with weight and obesity-related chronic disease self management were African-American. After brief discussions with these patients, I realized most of the people I encountered had some basic knowledge of healthy lifestyle behaviors. They knew that eating more fruits and vegetables, choosing leaner meats, and exercising at least 30 minutes a day would help them achieve a healthy weight. However, they struggled to understand how healthy lifestyle behaviors impact overall health and chronic disease management. Rethink Wellness Nutrition and Fitness Consultants, LLC was born during the middle of my dietetic internship at WakeMed. During this internship experiences, I frequently heard comments from African-American patients and community members who stated that they would like to make healthy lifestyle changes but they were reluctant to talk with a dietitian. Their reluctance stemmed from their beliefs that dietitians would make them give up foods they love, encourage them to eat foods they hate, and suggest physical activities that are not conducive to their usual routine. There was a general concern expressed that diet and physical activity recommendations were often not reflective of an understanding of African-American culture and lifestyle. Hearing these concerns inspired me to address these misconceptions by creating healthy recipes that incorporate familiar foods, using motivation interviewing to help individuals acknowledge and overcome barriers of physical inactivity, and providing evidence-based nutrition information through relevant messages that address common struggles that African-Americans face.
Geometric Decompositions of Bell Polytopes with Practical Applications

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the well-studied (2,2,2) Bell experiment consisting of two parties, two measurement settings per party, and two possible outcomes per setting, it is known that if the experiment obeys no-signaling constraints, then the set of admissible experimental probability distributions is fully characterized as the convex hull of 24 distributions: 8 Popescu-Rohrlich (PR) boxes and 16 local deterministic distributions. Here, we refine this result to show that in the (2,2,2) case, any nonlocal nonsignaling distribution can always be uniquely expressed as a convex combination of exactly one PR box and (up to) eight local deterministic distributions. In this representation each PR box will always occur only with a fixed set of eight local deterministic distributions with which it is affiliated. This decomposition has multiple applications: we demonstrate an analytical proof that the minimum detection efficiency for which nonlocality can be observed is $η>2/3$ even for theories constrained only by the no-signaling principle, and we develop new algorithms that speed the calculation of important statistical functions of Bell test data. Finally, we enumerate the vertices of the no-signaling polytope for the (2, n, 2) "chained Bell" scenario and find that similar decomposition results are possible in this general case. Here, our results allow us to prove the optimality of a bound, derived in Barrett et al. [1], on the proportion of local theories in a local/nonlocal mixture that can be inferred from the experimental violation of a chained Bell inequality.

Perceptions of Weight Management in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes
Creators: name: Baldwin, Kendra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic illness characterized by the destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, resulting in the absence of insulin. T1D requires complex and intensive daily management in order to reduce the risk of long-term complications (American Diabetes Association, 2013). In addition to T1D-specific health issues, youth in this population face similar issues as their non-diabetic peers, including the current pediatric overweight and obesity epidemic. In a study of the United States based SEARCH registry, an estimated 12.6% of youth with T1D are obese and 22.1% are overweight, as compared to 16.9% and 16.1%, respectively of the general population (Liu et al., 2010). Similar results were found in a comparison of the German/Austrian DPV registry and the United States based T1D Exchange, with 12% of both registries combined categorized as obese and 24% as overweight when compared to the WHO reference population (Dubose et al., 2015). In this comparison the United States had a slightly higher prevalence of obesity in youth with T1D greater than 6 years of age, likely associated with national differences in diet and lifestyle (Dubose et al., 2015). With this trend in weight comes a host of complications-higher BMI is associated with increases in dyslipidemia, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and unhealthy weight control behaviors along with increased use of antihypertensive and lipid lowering medications (Hanna, Weaver, Slaven, Stump, & Shieh, 2015; Purnell, Zinman, & Brunzell, 2013). In turn, chronic elevations in HbA1c are associated with microvascular and macrovascular complications (Nathan, 2014; The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Research Group, 1993). The purpose of this paper is to explore potential contributing factors to overweight and obesity in youth with T1D, including the risks and benefits of intensive insulin therapy, the effects of overweight and obesity on people with T1D and other factors that may be impacting weight management in adolescents with T1D. This literature review is complemented by qualitative data collected from two key informant interviews with adolescents with T1D.

description: For a holographically defined finite temperature theory, we derive an off-shell constitutive relation for a global $U(1)$ current driven by a weak external non-dynamical electromagnetic field. The constitutive relation involves an all order gradient expansion resummed into three momenta-dependent transport coefficient functions: diffusion, electric conductivity, and "magnetic" conductivity. These transport functions are first computed analytically in the hydrodynamic limit, up to third order in the derivative expansion, and then numerically for generic values of momenta. We also compute a diffusion memory function, which, as a result of all order gradient resummation, is found to be causal.

description: Conventional spatial modulation (SM) is typically considered for transmission in the downlink of small-scale MIMO systems, where a single one of a set of antenna elements (AEs) is activated for implicitly conveying extra bits. By contrast, inspired by the compelling benefits of large-scale MIMO (LS- MIMO) systems, here we propose a LS-SM-MIMO scheme for the uplink (UL), where each user having multiple AEs but only a single radio frequency (RF) chain invokes SM for increasing the UL-throughput. At the same time, by relying on hundreds of AEs but a small number of RF chains, the base station (BS) can simultaneously serve multiple users whilst reducing the power consumption. Due to the large number of AEs of the UL-users and the comparably small number of RF chains at the BS, the UL multi-user signal detection becomes a challenging large-scale under-determined problem. To solve this problem, we propose a joint SM transmission scheme and a carefully designed structured compressive sensing (SCS)-based multi-user detector (MUD) to be used at the users and BS, respectively. Additionally, the cyclic- prefix single-carrier (CPSC) is used to combat the multipath channels, and a simple receive AE selection is used for the improved performance over correlated Rayleigh-fading MIMO channels. We demonstrate that the aggregate SM signal consisting of SM signals of multiple UL-users in one CPSC block appears the distributed sparsity. Moreover, due to the joint SM transmission scheme, aggregate SM signals in the same transmission group exhibit the group sparsity. By exploiting these intrinsically sparse features, the proposed SCS-based MUD can reliably detect the resultant SM signals with low complexity. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SCS-based MUD achieves a better signal detection performance than its counterparts even with higher UL-throughtput.

Magnetic flux tubes with a straight magnetic field and longitudinal density stratification were considered in zero-βapproximation. A single three-dimensional wave equation (eigen value problem) is solved for longitudinal component of the perturbed magnetic field using the finite element method (FEM). Wavefunctions (eigenfunction of wave equation) of the MHD oscillations are categorized into sausage, kink, helical kink and fluting modes. Concerning the amplitude location of the waves that arise from the flux tube, those waves are identified as body, surface, and leaky waves, appeared in the case of both a single and a system of flux tubes. Exact recognition of the wavefunctions can be used in coronal seismology and also helps to the future high resolution instruments that would be designed for studying the properties of the solar loop oscillations in details.

Comparison of the Advective-Dispersive-Reactive Model and USEPA's Surface Water Treatment Rule for Prediction of Disinfection Efficiency: A Case Study of 15 Clearwells in North Carolina
Creators: name: Savard, Paul V.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: The efficiency of the disinfection process for the inactivation of microorganisms was predicted for treated water passing through a water treatment plant clearwell according to the Advective-Dispersive-Reactive analytical model, and the results were compared with the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Surface Water Treatment Rule. A spreadsheet analysis was undertaken to estimate the dispersion number and effective volume of several clearwells based on tracer test data supplied by the state of North Carolina. The dispersion number and effective volume were determined by fitting one of three analytical solutions to the Advective-Dispersive analytical model. Each of these three analytical models was based on a different combination of "open" and "closed" boundary conditions. All of the clearwells studied exhibited relatively high dispersion numbers from 0.127 to 0.616. Furthermore, these models indicated that several of the clearwells utilized less than 70 percent of their theoretical volume for the disinfection of microorganisms. The dispersion number and effective volume were used in the Advective-Dispersive-Reactive analytical model to estimate the efficiency with which the microorganisms were inactivated by disinfection by chlorine. This analysis indicated that the Surface Water Treatment Rule, which includes requirements for maintaining the product of chlorine residual and contact time above specified limits, under-estimates the disinfection efficiency occurring in the clearwells.

description: A first measurement of the top quark spin asymmetry, sensitive to the top quark polarisation, in t-channel single top quark production is presented. It is based on a sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse-femtobarns. A high-purity sample of t-channel single top quark events with an isolated muon is selected. Signal and background components are estimated using a fit to data. A differential cross section measurement, corrected for detector effects, of an angular observable sensitive to the top quark polarisation is performed. The differential distribution is used to extract a top quark spin asymmetry of 0.26 +/- 0.03 (stat) +/- 0.10 (syst), which is compatible with a p-value of 4.6% with the standard model prediction of 0.44.

Analysis of the Impact of Public Comment on Regulatory Decision Making: The Arsenic Standards
Creators: name: Brostrom, Richard James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1987

description: A method for the characterization and analysis of public comment on an EPA standard was proposed. The arsenic emissions standard was chosen since it was the most commented upon standard ever promulgated by the Agency. The proposed method worked well, as participating groups were clearly defined and the intent of each of the groups was reasonable in relation to their inferred environmental ideology. The effectiveness of each of the major groups of commenters was measured by relating the number of comments submitted versus the number of changes made. Comments received on the risk assessment constituted 89 percent of all comments submitted, over half were submitted by citizens not belonging to any particular special interest group. Few changes were made to the risk assessment as a result of the comments and the effectiveness of the comments for all groups was less than two percent. Comments submitted on the technical issues of the standard were more successful in causing change to the proposed standard. The effectiveness of each group varied widely, but the average effectiveness was 20 times greater than for comments submitted on risk issues. Many changes dealt with the submittal of new cost and emissions data by the affected industries. To allow for a discussion of the comment process, Godschalk's Exchange Model was altered and applied to the standard. The Exchange Model indicated that the comment process was successful except in the Agency's response to the public comment. A group theory model was used to analyze the Agency's response to the comment. This model indicated that the changes made to the proposed standards by the EPA could not be explained rationally on the basis of public comment. Other factors which influence EPA must be considered when explaining the Agency's decisions in light of the public intent.

Efficient AUC Optimization for Information Ranking Applications
Creators: name: Welleck, Sean J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Information Retrieval (cs.IR)
subject: Machine Learning (stat.ML)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Adequate evaluation of an information retrieval system to estimate future performance is a crucial task. Area under the ROC curve (AUC) is widely used to evaluate the generalization of a retrieval system. However, the objective function optimized in many retrieval systems is the error rate and not the AUC value. This paper provides an efficient and effective non-linear approach to optimize AUC using additive regression trees, with a special emphasis on the use of multi-class AUC (MAUC) because multiple relevance levels are widely used in many ranking applications. Compared to a conventional linear approach, the performance of the non-linear approach is comparable on binary-relevance benchmark datasets and is better on multi-relevance benchmark datasets.

Learning “Loss” and Learning “Gain” in Primary School Years: What Do We Know from India That Can Help Us Think Forward in the COVID-19 Crisis?

description: Finding relevant evidence and connecting to appropriate experiences are both essential if we are to chart future plans in a realistic way. This note is an attempt to answer these questions using available data from Uttar Pradesh (India’s largest state). Children lose quite a bit over the summer months and hence the losses from extended COVID shutdowns are likely to be substantial. The gains from a typical year of schooling in Uttar Pradesh are modest. But there is optimism, as dedicated programmes focused on foundational learning—implemented in government schools at scale—can lead to the equivalent of a typical year of learning in just three months.

Implications of Variation in Best Management Practice Effectiveness on the Selection of a Watershed Restoration Strategy to Address Microbial Contamination
Creators: name: Kasturi, Kavya Pallavi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Pathogens are the most common cause of water quality impairment in North Carolina, and urban nonpoint sources are a major contributor to the problem, nonetheless watershed-level approaches to their control are limited. The effectiveness of watershed restoration plans cannot be guaranteed due to the inherent variability in microbial loadings, as well as the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs) capable of reducing loadings. Therefore development of a cost-effective restoration plan requires characterization of BMP effectiveness, and its effect on the likelihood of compliance with regulatory standards. This study links the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) with a linear program to evaluate potential restoration strategies for a "pathogen" impaired waterbody (Northeast Creek, near Durham, NC), a process involving the identification of BMP-land use pairings. The efficacy of potential BMPs was varied (using established distributions of BMP effectiveness)during multiple simulations of each restoration strategy to assess the range of possible instream fecal coliform concentrations post-implementation. Likelihood of compliance was determined for existing (400 CFU/100lmL) or alternate (650 & 900 CFU/100mL) standards using five different restoration strategies. Since BMP effectiveness is difficult to assess a priori, incremental approaches to the strategies, where monitoring data can be used to modify the strategy during implementation, were also examined.
