description: The presented research work considers a mathematical model for energy of the signal at the output of an ideal DAC, in presence of sampling clock jitter. When sampling clock jitter occurs, the energy of the signal at the output of ideal DAC does not satisfies a Parseval identity. Nevertheless, an estimation of the signal energy is here shown by a direct method involving sinc functions.

description: We employ Monte Carlo simulations to study a stochastic Lotka-Volterra model on a two-dimensional square lattice with periodic boundary conditions. If the (local) prey carrying capacity is finite, there exists an extinction threshold for the predator population that separates a stable active two-species coexistence phase from an inactive state wherein only prey survive. Holding all other rates fixed, we investigate the non-equilibrium relaxation of the predator density in the vicinity of the critical predation rate. As expected, we observe critical slowing-down, i.e., a power law dependence of the relaxation time on the predation rate, and algebraic decay of the predator density at the extinction critical point. The numerically determined critical exponents are in accord with the established values of the directed percolation universality class. Following a sudden predation rate change to its critical value, one finds critical aging for the predator density autocorrelation function that is also governed by universal scaling exponents. This aging scaling signature of the active-to-absorbing state phase transition emerges at significantly earlier times than the stationary critical power laws, and could thus serve as an advanced indicator of the (predator) population's proximity to its extinction threshold.

description: We examine the low energy effective theory of phase oscillations in a two-dimensional granular superconducting sheet where the grains are arranged in honeycomb lattice structure. Using the example of graphene we present the evidence for the engineered Dirac nodes in the bosonic excitations: the spectra of the collective bosonic modes cross at the K and K points in the Brillouin zone and form Dirac nodes. We show how two different types of collective phase oscillations are obtained and that they are analogous to the Leggett and the Bogoliubov-Anderson-Gorkov modes in a two-band superconductor. We show that the Dirac node is preserved in the presence of an inter-grain interaction, despite induced changes of the qualitative features of the two collective modes. Finally, breaking the sublattice symmetry by choosing different on-site potentials for the two sublattices leads to a gap opening near the Dirac node, in analogy with Fermionic Dirac materials. Dirac node dispersion of bosonic excitations is thus expanding the discussion of the conventional Dirac cone excitations to the case of bosons. We call this case as a representative of Bosonic Dirac Materials (BDM), similar to the case of Fermionic Dirac materials extensively discussed in the literature.

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome: A Case Study

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: It is frequently difficult to find an optimal nutritional treatment for children who have rare genetic conditions with multisystem abnormalities because of the complexity of symptoms and the lack of evidence based treatments. Bardet-Biedl Syndrome is an example of one of these conditions. Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that is characterized by polydactyly, rod-conedystrophy, obesity, and Developmental delay (Forsythe & Beales, 2013). Obesity is a significant obstacle for medical professionals when working with these patients. Patients with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome have lower energy expenditure and leptin sensitivity causing them to have rapid weight gain even with caloric restrictions (Rahmouni et al., 2008). Obesity and other clinical manifestations suggestive of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome were observed with one patient at an area hospital, and the registered dietitian was called upon to determine how best to manage her nutrition.

description: In this paper we study the phase diagram of a disordered, spin-orbit coupled superconductor with $s$-wave or $d+id$-wave pairing symmetry in symmetry class $D$. We analyze the topological phase transitions by applying three different methods which include a disorder averaged entanglement entropy, a disorder averaged real-space Chern number, and an evaluation of the momentum space Chern number in a disorder averaged effective model. We find evidence for a disorder-induced topological state. While in the clean limit there is a single phase transition from a trivial phase with a Chern number $C=4$ to a topological phase with $C=1$, in the disordered system there is an intermediate phase with $C=3$. The phase transition from the trivial $C=4$ phase into the intermediate phase with $C=3$ is seen in the real-space calculation of the Chern number. In spite of this, this phase transition is not detectable in the entanglement entropy. A second phase transition from the disorder induced $C=3$ into the $C=1$ phase is seen in all three quantities.

description: We study thermal transport in strongly disordered, strongly interacting quantum field theories without quasiparticles using gauge-gravity duality. We analyze linear perturbations of black holes with broken translational symmetry in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories of gravity. Using general geometric arguments in the bulk, we derive bounds on thermal conductivity for the dual disordered field theories in one and two spatial dimensions. In the latter case, the thermal conductivity is always non-zero at finite temperature, so long as the dilaton potential is bounded from below. Hence, generic holographic models make non-trivial predictions about the thermal conductivity in a strongly disordered, strongly coupled metal in two spatial dimensions.

Recent policy changes in the supplemental nutrition assistance program education (SNAP-Ed): Challenges and Opportunities
Creators: name: Chen, Yi-Ting
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: More than one-third of U.S. adults (78.6 million) and approximately 17% (12.7 million) of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years are obese. Evidence suggests that changes to policies, systems, and the environment (PSE) are effective strategies for obesity prevention. To combat the obesity epidemic, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) has shifted its focus from nutrition education alone to nutrition education plus obesity prevention with emphasis on evidence-based PSE changes. This paper will discuss the implications of recent policy changes on the delivery of SNAP-Ed by first reviewing those changes, then examining Pennsylvania as an example of SNAP-Ed implementation, and finally describing the challenges states face and the opportunities that address the challenges.

description: The complexity of quantum many-body systems originates from the interplay of strong interactions, quantum statistics, and the large number of quantum-mechanical degrees of freedom. Probing these systems on a microscopic level with single-site resolution offers important insights. Here we report site-resolved imaging of two-component fermionic Mott insulators, metals, and band insulators using ultracold atoms in a square lattice. For strong repulsive interactions we observe two-dimensional Mott insulators containing over 400 atoms. For intermediate interactions, we observe a coexistence of phases. From comparison to theory we find trap-averaged entropies per particle of $1.0\,k_{\mathrm{B}}$. In the band-insulator we find local entropies as low as $0.5\,k_{\mathrm{B}}$. Access to local observables will aid the understanding of fermionic many-body systems in regimes inaccessible by modern theoretical methods.

Shape Up Somerville Case Study: An evaluation of community engagement strategies to prevent disease and promote health equity
Creators: name: Frazzini, Alison
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: This qualitative case study explores promising community-based strategies for preventing disease among vulnerable populations. The author conducted semi-structured interviews with thirteen community leaders who participate in cross-sectoral collaborations and/or serve vulnerable communities in Somerville, Massachusetts. Interview questions focused on community engagement strategies and their outcomes, including direct outreach to individual community members and collaboration with community-based nonprofit organizations that have on-going contact and personal relationships with individual community members. Results are consistent with previous evidence that successful community engagement can improve health initiative implementation and outcomes. Interview responses revealed that successful community engagement is characterized by: shared resources and decision-making power, overlapping goals, face-to-face interaction, trust, cultural sensitivity, celebration of strengths, mutual support and respect for unshared priorities, and a popular education approach. Responses also revealed deep concern for social determinants of health and opportunities for cross-sectoral collaboration to promote health through social, economic, and environmental change.

description: Periodically driven (Floquet) crystals are described by their quasi-energy spectrum. Their topological properties are characterized by invariants attached to the gaps of this spectrum. In this article, we define such invariants in all space dimensions, both in the case where no symmetry is present and in the case where the unitary chiral symmetry is present. When no symmetry is present, a $\mathbb{Z}$-valued invariant can be defined in each gap in all even space dimensions. This invariant does not capture all the properties of a system where chiral symmetry is present. In even space dimension, chiral symmetry puts constraints on its values in different gaps. In odd space dimension, chiral symmetry also enables to define a $\mathbb{Z}$-valued invariant, only in the chiral gaps $0$ and $π$. We relate both gap invariants to the standard invariants characterizing the quasi-energy bands of the system. Examples in one and three dimensions are discussed.

Effectiveness of Probiotics in Reducing Necrotizing Entercolitis (NEC) Severity in Preterm or Low Birth Weight Infants: A Review of the Literature
Creators: name: Letourneau, Lisa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a debilitating and often deadly bowel disease affecting premature and low birth weight neonates. Probiotics may be useful in decreasing incidence and severity of NEC. Our objective was to review the most recent literature on the use of probiotics to reduce NEC severity in preterm and/or low birth weight neonates. METHODS: A PubMed search using keyword “NEC, necrotizing enterocolitis, probiotic*” was conducted. Studies were considered if at least one probiotic was used in an attempt to reduce NEC incidence or severity in preterm or low birth weight infants. Original studies from 2012-2014 were considered. Meta-analyses and summary articles were excluded. RESULTS: Ten studies met inclusion criteria. Four found statistically significant results in the reduction of incidence of NEC in neonates, one found a protective effect against the need for NEC surgery, and five studies found no benefit in preventing NEC. CONCLUSIONS: Of the six randomized controlled trials included in this study, only two found a statistically significant reduction in NEC incidence. Although the efficacy is unclear, all ten studies did support the safety of probiotics administration. Further research utilizing specific promising probiotic strains, including Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, should be carried out to continue determining efficacy of these strains.

description: Chiral phase transition of two flavor QCD at finite quark masses is known to be crossover except near the chiral limit, but it can turn to a first order transition when adding many extra flavors. This property is used to explore the nature of the phase transition of massless two flavor QCD using lattice numerical simulations. The extra heavy flavors being incorporated in the form of the hopping parameter expansion through the reweighting, the number of the extra flavors and their masses appear only in a single parameter, defined by $h$. We determine the critical value of the parameter, at which the first order and the crossover regions are separated, and examine its dependence on the two flavor mass. The lattice calculations are carried out at $N_t$=4, and show that the critical value does not depend on the two flavor mass in the range we have studied ($0.46 \le m_π/m_ρ\le 0.66$) and appears to remain finite and positive in the chiral limit, suggesting that the phase transition of massless two flavor QCD is of second order.

Improving Equitable Access to Healthy Foods in the Campus Community at North Carolina State University
Creators: name: Stewart, Lesley
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The nutrition environment is a driver of food choices; unhealthy decisions prompted by environments that do not support access to healthy foods are a known factor in rising rates of diet related chronic diseases. Many college and university campuses have been shown to be obesogenic; in response, organizations have partnered with these institutions to improve their campus nutrition environment and overall campus health, such as the Partnership for a Healthier America’s (PHA) Healthier Campus Initiative (HCI). No studies have systematically examined the effects of these new alliances on the campus nutrition environment, or on health behaviors that impact diet quality such as perceptions of individual access to healthy food. While the primary population of these initiatives is the student body, other groups are affected by these changes. Food service staff are one such population; they are often earning low incomes and at greater risk for metabolic syndrome and other diet-related chronic diseases as well as food insecurity. This proposed study will address Action Area 3 of the RWJF Culture of Health Action Framework – Creating healthier, more equitable communities. Access to healthy foods is a key measure of built environment and physical conditions, which is a driver of such communities and is our measure of interest. We will explore HCI participation as a means of increasing equitable healthy food access among different campus populations, including students and food service workers. Additionally, we will examine barriers to and facilitators of HCI implementation as a measure of organizational support for this initiative. The study will be conducted at NC State University. This three-part study will assess changes to the NC State nutrition environment (Aim 1), perceptions of healthy food access by food service staff and students (Aim 2), and organizational supports for HCI participation (Aim 3). We are requesting $204,005.39 over 24 months.

description: PhD-trained scientists are essential contributors to the workforce in diverse employment sectors that include academia, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. Hence, best practices for training the future biomedical workforce are of national concern. Complementing coursework and laboratory research training, many institutions now offer professional training that enables career exploration and develops a broad set of skills critical to various career paths. The National Institutes of Health funded academic institutions to design innovative programming to enable this professional development through a mechanism known as Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST). Programming at the BEST awardee institutions included career panels, skill-building workshops, job-searching workshops, site visits, and internships. Because doctoral training is lengthy and requires focused attention on dissertation research, an initial concern was that students participating in additional complementary training activities might exhibit an increased time to degree or diminished research productivity. Metrics were analyzed from ten BEST awardee institutions to address this concern, using time to degree and publication records as measures of efficiency and productivity. Comparing doctoral students who participated to those who did not, results revealed that across these diverse academic institutions, there were no differences in time to degree or manuscript output. Furthermore, a few institutions demonstrated a positive correlation between participation in career and professional development activities and productivity. Our findings support the policy that doctoral students should participate in career and professional development opportunities that are intended to prepare them for a variety of diverse and important careers in the workforce.

Is body size dissatisfaction associated with reduced likelihood of breastfeeding? Data from the Infant, Care, Feeding, and Risk of Obesity Study
Creators: name: High, Larelle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Objective: The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between body size dissatisfaction and breastfeeding in a cohort of first-time, WIC eligible, African American mothers in NC. Methods: Data were from the Infant Care, Feeding, and Risk of Obesity Study, a cohort of 217 low income, African-American mother-infant dyads which included home visits at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months. Body size dissatisfaction was assessed using the Body Image Assessment for Obesity at each visit. Body size dissatisfaction was categorized into a three-level variable: 1) those who were satisfied with their current body size; 2) those who were dissatisfied with their current body size, preferring to be smaller; and, 3) those who were dissatisfied with their current body size, preferring to be larger. Breastfeeding status was obtained at each visit. Due to the low proportion of breastfeeding mothers after 6 months, only data from the 3 and 6 months visits were analyzed. Results: Of the 217 participants, 20.3% of mothers were still breastfeeding at 3 months and 14.5% were still breastfeeding at 6 months. At both 3 months and 6 months, women were more likely to have body size dissatisfaction scores that indicated that they preferred a body silhouette smaller than their current body silhouette (~71% and ~73%, respectively). Mothers who preferred a body silhouette smaller than their current body size were 94% less likely to breastfeed than those who preferred their current body size at 6 months (OR: 0.06, 95% Cl: 0.01-0.38). Factors that were significantly associated with increased breastfeeding likelihood at 3 months and 6 months included being married and attending college, respectively. Conclusions: Given that body size dissatisfaction is associated with decreased rates of breastfeeding, public health interventions that encourage longer duration of breastfeeding by addressing body size dissatisfaction through weight loss are warranted.

Crohn's Disease: Vitamin/Mineral Deficiencies, Protein Energy Malnutrition, and Improving the Quality of Care in a Hospital Setting
Creators: name: Leslie, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Medical Nutritional Therapy (MNT) plays an integral part in the management of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) in the hospital setting. Approximately 85% of hospitalized CD patients have protein energy malnutrition. Malnutrition in patients with CD increases the risk of in-hospital mortality and length of stay. Nutritional deficiencies are also common, resulting from reduced nutrient intake, malabsorption, drug-nutrient interactions and overall systemic inflammation. Deficiencies in vitamin B12, vitamin D, folate and iron can result in decreased quality of life in patients with CD. Hospitalized patients with CD are often medically unstable upon admission and require nutrition support. Relapse rates are also high for CD patients. As evidenced by this case study, improvement in MNT to identify known nutrition-related problems while the patient is in the hospital may help reduce readmission rates and improve the overall quality of life for patients with CD.

Nutrition Care Protocol for Patients Diagnosed with Diabetes during Pregnancy
Creators: name: Kennedy, Maria
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: This protocol is a complete nutrition care guide for providers treating patients diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy. In my limited experience working with women’s health organizations and in my extensive search through the current literature, I have not seen a complete protocol for nutrition-based care for this diagnosis. The rationale of the protocol is to provide consistent interventions which are likely to result in the promotion of recommended weight gain in pregnancy with adequate nutrition for mom and fetus while reducing the risks associated with diabetes in pregnancy. Patients will benefit from providers following a protocol to help ensure they all receive the same standard of care. As our medical system moves towards provider reimbursement being linked to patient outcomes, a standard of care and protocol makes financial sense as well. In addition, considering the time constraints normally associated with physician visits, referral of patients with diabetes to registered dietitians is likely to improve patient care and has been shown to improve patient glycemic control. Therefore, medical nutrition therapy prescribed by a registered dietitian (RD) should be part of a complete care plan for pregnant women with diabetes. Please note that ideally, all patients should be counseled to maintain a healthy weight and to engage in regular physical activity prior to conception to reduce the risk of various adverse conditions in pregnancy including diabetes. Patients diagnosed with diabetes who indicate to their providers that they would like to conceive are likely to benefit from many of the resources contained in the protocol. They should be encouraged to adopt healthy eating habits, exercise regularly, achieve/maintain healthy weight and maintain euglycemia prior to conception. The serious risks associated with poor glycemic control early in pregnancy should be explicitly detailed. However, this protocol does not provide specifics for preconception nutrition care.

description: Recent experiments have shown that magnetic skyrmion bubbles can be generated and injected at room temperature in thin films [W. Jiang et al, Science vol. 349, 283 (2015)]. Here, we demonstrate, using micromagnetic modeling, that such skyrmions can be generated by an inhomogeneous spin Hall torque in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMIs). In the experimental Ta/Co$_{20}$Fe$_{60}$B$_{20}$ thin films, the DMI is rather small; nevertheless, the skyrmion bubbles are stable, or at least metastable on observational time scales.

description: Three-dimensional Dirac semimetals, a three-dimensional analogue of graphene, are unusual quantum materials with massless Dirac fermions, which can be further converted to Weyl fermions by breaking time reversal or inversion symmetry. Topological surface states with Fermi arcs are predicted on the surface and have been observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments. Although the exotic transport properties of the bulk Dirac cones have been demonstrated, it is still a challenge to reveal the surface states via transport measurements due to the highly conductive bulk states. Here, we show Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in individual single-crystal Cd3As2 nanowires with low carrier concentration and large surface-to-volume ratio, providing transport evidence of the surface state in three-dimensional Dirac semimetals. Moreover, the quantum transport can be modulated by tuning the Fermi level using a gate voltage, enabling a deeper understanding of rich physics residing in Dirac semimetals.

description: We solved the Schrödinger problem for electrons in graphene subjected to both a stationary magnetic field and a strong high-frequency electromagnetic wave (dressing field). The found solutions of the problem are used to describe the magnetoelectronic properties of dressed graphene. It follows from the present analysis that both optical characteristics and electronic transport are very sensitive to the dressing field. Particularly, the field strongly changes the spectra of optical absorption and the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. As a result, the developed theory opens a way for controlling magnetoelectronic properties of graphene with light.

Food Allergies and Eating Disorders: A Review of Current Literature
Creators: name: Kuta, Erin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: An undefined relationship exists between food allergies (FA) and eating disorders (ED). Research indicates that EDs are more prevalent in individuals with FA, but the opposite association may not be true. This brings to question why self-reported FAs are frequently observed in ED treatment centers, if FA incidence is not greater in the ED population. These self-reported “food allergies” may be psychosomatic, a consequence of impaired digestion, part of the ED pathology, or a misnomer for food intolerance. Future longitudinal studies are needed in order to better understand the progression and predictive factors between the two pathologies.

description: We present next-to-leading order (NLO) predictions including QCD and electroweak (EW) corrections for the production and decay of off-shell electroweak vector bosons in association with up to two jets at the 13 TeV LHC. All possible dilepton final states with zero, one or two charged leptons that can arise from off-shell W and Z bosons or photons are considered. All predictions are obtained using the automated implementation of NLO QCD+EW corrections in the OpenLoops matrix-element generator combined with the Munich and Sherpa Monte Carlo frameworks. Electroweak corrections play an especially important role in the context of BSM searches, due to the presence of large EW Sudakov logarithms at the TeV scale. In this kinematic regime, important observables such as the jet transverse momentum or the total transverse energy are strongly sensitive to multijet emissions. As a result, fixed-order NLO QCD+EW predictions are plagued by huge QCD corrections and poor theoretical precision. To remedy this problem we present an approximate method that allows for a simple and reliable implementation of NLO EW corrections in the MEPS@NLO multijet merging framework. Using this general approach we present an inclusive simulation of vector-boson production in association with jets that guarantees NLO QCD+EW accuracy in all phase space regions involving up to two resolved jets.
