description: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of the zero-field Blume-Capel model in the vicinity of its tricritical point (TCP). We calculate the quadrupole moment, internal energy, and entropy densities employing an exact numerical recursion procedure for the model defined on a hierarchical lattice of fractal dimension $d$. We explore the scaling behavior of the isothermal quadrupolar susceptibility and, the isothermal and constant crystal-field specific heat as a function of the temperature and the reduced crystal-field parameter along the ferromagnetic and the \emph{ordered paramagnetic} phase frontier. Results achieved for systems with dimensions $d=2$ and $3$ exhibit the main features of the continuous and first-order transitions in the TCP neighborhoods. We also probe the phase coexistence in the $λ$-diagram and the latent heat in the vicinity of the tricritical point locus.

description: Data hiding has received much attention due to rapid development of internet and multimedia technologies where security of information is a very important concern. This is achieved by Steganography, which is the art or science of hiding data into another data, so that human eyes cannot catch the hidden information easily. There are many ways to hide information-like inside an image, text, audio/ video etc. Among them image steganography is a very attractive research area. The goal is to transmit a data within a modified image (called stego-image)by minimizing the number of bit flips. In this paper, a new steganography technique has been proposed using Graphical codes and also comparison with steganography technique using BCH codes has been studied.

description: Given a system with a finite heat capacity and a heat reservoir, and two values of initial temperatures, $T_+$ and $T_- (< T_+)$, we enquire, in which case the optimal work extraction is larger: when the reservoir is an infinite source at $T_+$ and the system is a sink at $T_-$, or, when the reservoir is an infinite sink at $T_-$ and the system acts as a source at $T_+$? It is found that in order to compare the total extracted work, and the corresponding efficiency in the two cases, we need to consider three regimes as suggested by an inequality, the so-called arithmetic mean-geometric mean inequality, involving the arithmetic and the geometric means of the two temperature values $T_+$ and $T_-$. In each of these regimes, the efficiency at total work obeys certain universal bounds, given only in terms of the ratio of initial temperatures. The general theoretical results are exemplified for thermodynamic systems for which internal energy and temperature are power laws of the entropy. The conclusions may serve as benchmarks in the design of heat engines, where we can choose the nature of the finite system, so as to tune the total extractable work and/or the corresponding efficiency.

description: 50% of the heavy element abundances are produced via slow neutron capture reactions in different stellar scenarios. The underlying nucleosynthesis models need the input of neutron capture cross sections. One of the fundamental signatures for active nucleosynthesis in our galaxy is the observation of long-lived radioactive isotopes, such as $^{60}$Fe with a half-life of $2.60\times10^6$ yr. To reproduce this $γ$-activity in the universe, the nucleosynthesis of $^{60}$Fe has to be understood reliably. A $^{60}$Fe sample produced at the Paul-Scherrer-Institut was activated with thermal and epithermal neutrons at the research reactor at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz. The thermal neutron capture cross section has been measured for the first time to $σ_{\text{th}}=0.226 \ (^{+0.044}_{-0.049})$ b. An upper limit of $σ_{\text{RI}} < 0.50$ b could be determined for the resonance integral. An extrapolation towards the astrophysicaly interesting energy regime between $kT$=10 keV and 100 keV illustrates that the s-wave part of the direct capture component can be neglected.

Gas clumping in the outskirts of galaxy clusters, an assessment of the sensitivity of STAR-X

description: In the outskirts of galaxy clusters, entropy profiles measured from X-ray observations of the hot intracluster medium (ICM) drops off unexpectedly. One possible explanation for this effect is gas clumping, where pockets of cooler and denser structures within the ICM are present. Current observatories are unable to directly detect these hypothetical gas clumps. One of the science drivers of the proposed STAR-X observatory is to resolve these or similar structures. Its high spatial resolution, large effective area, and low instrumental background make STAR-X ideal for directly detecting and characterizing clumps and diffuse emission in cluster outskirts. The aim of this work is to simulate observations of clumping in clusters to determine how well STAR-X will be able to detect clumps, as well as what clumping properties reproduce observed entropy profiles. This is achieved by using yt, pyXSIM, SOXS, and other tools to inject ideally modeled clumps into three-dimensional models derived from actual clusters using their observed profiles from other X-ray missions. Radial temperature and surface brightness profiles are then extracted from mock observations using concentric annuli. We find that in simulated observations for STAR-X, a parameter space of clump properties exists where gas clumps can be successfully identified using wavdetect and masked, and are able to recover the true cluster profiles. This demonstrates that STAR-X could be capable of detecting substructure in the outskirts of nearby clusters and that the properties of both the outskirts and the clumps will be revealed.

Development of a Health Educational Game for Children with Chronic Kidney Disease: Use of Focused Interviews to Gauge Interest and Preliminary Topics
Creators: name: Annaim, Ali
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) places a significant burden on the pediatric population. Children with this condition require several medications in addition to the possibility of home dialysis and or transplantation. Often their parents are responsible for their care once they are diagnosed, and ideally, the parents will help to transition the youth to adult health services. The degree of knowledge that the parents have regarding CKD can affect the health status of their children, as has been seen in other conditions. This two-prong research includes a systematic review of the literature on the use of interactive media to educate parents about their child's chronic health condition and a qualitative study of parents-youth dyads in the Pediatric Nephrology Clinic at UNC- Chapel Hill. Parents and youth were asked to remember their initial response at the time of kidney disease diagnosis. Additionally we determined which topics parents and youth would want included in a CKD educational game. Parents wanted the game to cover the etiologies of CKD, management, treatment options, nutrition, and laboratory values related to CKD. The children with CKD wanted the game to discuss etiology and symptoms of CKD, and how dialysis treatment feels from the perspective of youth. The parent-youth dyads also provided insight into how a serious game for CKD could be designed, to educate them on this condition and potentially affect health outcomes.

description: Secondary messengers such as neutrinos and photons are expected to be produced in interactions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) with extragalactic background photons. Their propagation could be altered by the effects of Lorentz invariance violation. In this work, we have developed an extension of the SimProp code that includes some Lorentz-violating scenarios affecting the propagation of neutrinos. We present the corresponding expected cosmogenic neutrino fluxes for three different astrophysical scenarios for the production of UHECRs. These results can be used to put constraints on the scale of Lorentz violation in the neutrino sector.

Benchmarking Optimization Solvers and Symmetry Breakers for the Automated Deployment of Component-based Applications in the Cloud (EXTENDED ABSTRACT)

description: Optimization solvers based on methods from constraint programming (OR-Tools, Chuffed, Gecode), optimization modulo theory (Z3), and mathematical programming (CPLEX) are successfully applied nowadays to solve many non-trivial examples. However, for solving the problem of automated deployment in the Cloud of component-based applications, their computational requirements are huge making automatic optimization practically impossible with the current general optimization techniques. To overcome the difficulty, we exploited the sweet spots of the underlying problem in order to identify search space reduction methods. We came up with 15 symmetry breaking strategies which we tested in a static symmetry breaking setting on the solvers enumerated above and on 4 classes of problems. As a result, all symmetry breaking strategies led to significant improvement of the computational time of all solvers, most notably, Z3 performed the best compared to the others. As an observation, the symmetry breaking strategies confirmed that, when applied in a static setting, they may interact badly with the underlying techniques implemented by the solvers.

description: Achieving food security is a continuing challenge worldwide. The combination of climate change, violent conflicts, and other crises (e.g., Covid-19 pandemic and high inflation) has exacerbated food insecurity by disrupting food production and access to food. According to the most recent estimates, about 3.1 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet (FAO et al. 2022). This implies that two-fifths of the population is food insecure, with a concentration in the low-income countries of Asia and Africa.

Foods for Special Medical Purposes Available Under the Irish Health System: An Evaluation of Current Evidence and Practices
Creators: name: Crotty, Karen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Introduction: In 2006 the Irish government spent €35m on Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) under the states General Medical Scheme (GMS), accounting for 3.72% of GMS spending. There is increasing concern, both in Ireland and internationally, of widespread inappropriate overprescribing of nutrition products resulting in unnecessary healthcare spending (NMIC, 2004; Loane et al, 2004, Okechukwu, 2008). Further to this, Ireland does not have a national Clinical Practice Guideline on the provision of nutrition support, and the process of product approval and listing for reimbursement under the GMS scheme has not been reviewed since the late 1990s. This paper takes a look at current Irish policy and practice relating to the provision of FSMP within primary care, reviews the evidence, compares the Irish situation to international guidelines and best practices, and suggests appropriate future steps for Irish policy makers.

Correlating high-energy IceCube neutrinos with 5BZCAT blazars and RFC sources

description: We investigate the possibility that blazars in the Roma-BZCAT Multifrequency Catalogue of Blazars (5BZCAT) are sources of the high-energy astrophysical neutrinos detected by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, as recently suggested by Buson et al. (2022a,b). Although we can reproduce their $\sim 4.6\, σ$ result, which applies to 7 years of neutrino data in the Southern sky, we find no significant correlation with 5BZCAT sources when extending the search to the Northern sky, where IceCube is most sensitive to astrophysical signals. To further test this scenario, we use a larger sample consisting of 10 years of neutrino data recently released by the IceCube collaboration, this time finding no significant correlation in either the Southern or the Northern sky. These results suggest that the strong correlation reported by Buson et al. (2022a,b) using 5BZCAT could be due to a statistical fluctuation and possibly the spatial and flux non-uniformities in the blazar sample. We perform some additional correlation tests using the more uniform, flux-limited, and blazar-dominated Radio Fundamental Catalogue (RFC) and find a $\sim 3.2σ$ equivalent p-value when correlating it with the 7-year Southern neutrino sky. However, this correlation disappears completely when extending the analysis to the Northern sky and when analyzing 10 years of all-sky neutrino data. Our findings support a scenario where the contribution of the whole blazar class to the IceCube signal is relevant but not dominant, in agreement with most previous studies.

description: We consider an overdamped particle with a general physical mechanism that creates noisy active movement (e.g., a run-and-tumble particle or active Brownian particle etc.), that is confined by an external potential. Focusing on the limit in which the correlation time $τ$ of the active noise is small, we find the nonequilibrium steady-state distribution $P_{\text{st}}\left(\mathbf{X}\right)$ of the particle's position $\mathbf{X}$. While typical fluctuations of $\mathbf{X}$ follow a Boltzmann distribution with an effective temperature that is not difficult to find, the tails of $P_{\text{st}}\left(\mathbf{X}\right)$ deviate from a Boltzmann behavior: In the limit $τ\to 0$, they scale as $P_{\text{st}}\left(\mathbf{X}\right)\sim e^{-s\left(\mathbf{X}\right)/τ}$. We calculate the large-deviation function $s\left(\mathbf{X}\right)$ exactly for arbitrary trapping potential and active noise in dimension $d=1$, by relating it to the rate function that describes large deviations of the position of the same active particle in absence of an external potential at long times. We then extend our results to $d>1$ assuming rotational symmetry.

description: Pitch-angle scattering rates for cosmic-ray particles in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations with imbalanced turbulence are calculated for fully evolving electromagnetic turbulence. We compare with theoretical predictions derived from the quasilinear theory of cosmic-ray diffusion for an idealized slab spectrum and demonstrate how cross helicity affects the shape of the pitch-angle diffusion coefficient. Additional simulations in evolving magnetic fields or static field configurations provide evidence that the scattering anisotropy in imbalanced turbulence is not primarily due to coherence with propagating Alfven waves, but an effect of the spatial structure of electric fields in cross-helical MHD turbulence.

Fetomaternal Outcomes of Grand Multiparas Over Two Decades in Mali
Creators: name: Maïga, Amelia Walling
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Objective: To analyze the association between grand multiparity and maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Study design: Cross-sectional study of 18,697 singleton births at a tertiary care hospital in Mali (1985-2003) compared outcomes between 3,617 grand multiparas (para ≥5) and 9,723 pauciparas (para 1-4). Odds ratios [OR] were adjusted for maternal age, prenatal care utilization, socioeconomic status, and region of origin. Results: Grand multiparas were older, poorer, and less likely to have accessed prenatal care. Grand multiparas had a lower adjusted odds of maternal death (adjusted OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.45- 0.97), but higher odds of perinatal death (adjusted OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.12-1.59), placental abnormalities (adjusted OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.21-2.05), and high birthweight (adjusted OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.05-1.92). Conclusion: The healthy person effect may explain grand multiparas’ lower odds of maternal death. Reducing grand multiparity and improving grand multiparas’ access to prenatal care may improve population-level perinatal outcomes.

Detailed ac susceptibility measurements reveal the novel critical dynamics of the phase transition; extremely slow dynamics with the relaxation time in the order of 10-100 msec, speed-up of the dynamics on cooling indicating its non-thermally activated origin and growing of the ferromagnetic correlations towards the phase transition temperature. On the basis of these findings, we propose the novel phase transition process, namely, the spontaneous striped-arrangement of the precedently emergent "belt-like" ferromagnetic spin texture.

description: MtBE is used as a gasoline additive all over the United States; its use is associated with the reduction of atmospheric concentrations of carbon monoxide or ozone. MtBE has been used to great advantage since the seventies without society being aware of any adverse health effects, other than bad odor. Thus, when the U.S. Geological Survey reported in 1994 that MtBE was the most frequently found volatile organic chemicals (VOC) in shallow ground water from urban areas, concerns about potential inhalation health effects and water contamination were quickly raised. Yet, despite a multitude of studies, there remains considerable debate over what, if any, health effects result from exposure to MtBE. Faced with a growing outcry on the part of the public about whether MtBE might be adverse to human health and the environment, the EPA appointed a Blue Ribbon panel in November 1998 to investigate the air and water quality concerns. The panel sought to explain any links between MtBE exposures and negative human health conditions, and the degree to which a cause-effect relationship might exist. This master's paper reviews the steps associated with the policy development for MtBE including impact on air and water quality and public health. It summarizes available data on benefits and risks to support the need for a policy decision at the national level. lt concludes by advocating for legislation which truly controls the use of MtBE. This may serve as a model for what to do or what not to do for other public health/environmental policy.

On magnetic field screening and trapping in hydrogen-rich high-temperature superconductors: unpulling the wool over readers' eyes

description: In Nat Commun 13, 3194 (2022) [1], Minkov et al. reported magnetization measurements on hydrides under pressure that claimed to find a diamagnetic signal below a critical temperature demonstrating the existence of superconductivity. Here we present an analysis of raw data recently released [2] by the authors of [1] that shows that the measured data do not support their claim that the samples exhibit a diamagnetic response indicative of superconductivity. We also point out that Ref. [1] in its original form omitted essential information that resulted in presentation of a distorted picture of reality, and that important information on transformations performed on measured data remains undisclosed. Our analysis also calls into question the conclusions of Minkov et al's trapped flux experiments reported in Nat. Phys. (2023) [3] as supporting superconductivity in these materials. This work together with earlier work implies that there is no magnetic evidence for the existence of high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides under pressure.

Coherent nonhelical shear dynamos driven by magnetic fluctuations at low Reynolds numbers

description: Nonhelical shear dynamos are studied with a particular focus on the possibility of coherent dynamo action. The primary results -- serving as a follow up to the results of Squire & Bhattacharjee [arXiv:1506.04109 (2015)] -- pertain to the "magnetic shear-current effect" as a viable mechanism to drive large-scale magnetic field generation. This effect raises the interesting possibility that the saturated state of the small-scale dynamo could drive large-scale dynamo action, and is likely to be important in the unstratified regions of accretion disk turbulence. In this paper, the effect is studied at low Reynolds numbers, removing the complications of small-scale dynamo excitation and aiding analysis by enabling the use of quasi-linear statistical simulation methods. In addition to the magnetically driven dynamo, new results on the kinematic nonhelical shear dynamo are presented. These illustrate the relationship between coherent and incoherent driving in such dynamos, demonstrating the importance of rotation in determining the relative dominance of each mechanism.
Monitoring and Evaluation in Global Social Development Programs: A Case Study of a Scholarship Program for HIV+ Young Adults in Uganda
Creators: name: McCormick, Kaitlin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: As access to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) expands globally, extending survival and rendering HIV a chronic disease rather than an acute condition, care and treatment for persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) becomes more complex. Treatment now includes ensuring quality of life as well as medical treatment via ART. As with any vulnerable population, PLWHA have social needs that can significantly influence their health related quality of life (HRQOL). Social needs in this context can include education, peer support, microfinance, etc. The benefit of vocational education training (VET) and other social development programs has yet to be explored extensively in the literature. However, it is believed that VET programs for PLWHA, have the ability to address these social needs and improve the physical and mental health of PLWHA. These improvements are linked to increased self-esteem, which can significantly influence HRQOL and even increase the likelihood of ART compliance (Takanda, 2012). The Holzworth Scholarship Program (HSP), based in Kampala, Uganda, is a unique VET program for young PLWHA that helps address the skill and education gaps found in this population due primarily to poverty and illness. Given the lack of literature surrounding VET programs for PLWHA, it is important that this program be carefully monitored and evaluated to help prove the value of such programs for similar vulnerable populations. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) in conjunction with continuous quality improvement (CQI) provide a framework for assessing the impact of educational programs such as the HSP. The HSP is presented as a case study in this paper to illustrate how M&E and CQI can be applied to assess the local impact of this innovative VET program and ideas are discussed for how to extrapolate the program in the global community.

description: First, inspired by a question of Sibony, we show that in every compact complex manifold $Y$ with certain Oka property, there exists some entire curve $f: \mathbb{C}\rightarrow Y$ generating all Nevanlinna/Ahlfors currents on $Y$, by holomorphic discs $\{f\restriction_{\mathbb{D}(c, r)}\}_{c\in \mathbb{C}, r>0}$. Next, we answer positively a question of Yau, by constructing some entire curve $g: \mathbb{C}\rightarrow X$ in the product $X:=E_1\times E_2$ of two elliptic curves $E_1$ and $E_2$, such that by using concentric holomorphic discs $\{g\restriction_{\mathbb{D}_{ r}}\}_{r>0}$ we can obtain infinitely many distinct Nevanlinna/Ahlfors currents proportional to the extremal currents of integration along curves $[\{e_1\}\times E_2]$, $[E_1\times \{e_2\}]$ for all $e_1\in E_1, e_2\in E_2$ simultaneously. This phenomenon is new, and it shows tremendous holomorphic flexibility of entire curves in large scale geometry.

Finite-temperature second-order perturbation analysis of magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy of L10-type ordered alloys
Creators: name: Yamashita, Shogo

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We present a novel finite-temperature second-order perturbation method incorporating spin-orbit coupling to investigate the temperature-dependent site-resolved contributions to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE), specifically K1(T), in FePt, MnAl, and FeNi alloys. Our developed method successfully reproduces the results obtained using the force theorem from our previous work. By employing this method, we identify the key sites responsible for the distinctive behaviors of MAE in these alloys, shedding light on the inadequacy of the spin model in capturing the temperature dependence of MAE in itinerant magnets. Moreover, we explore the lattice expansion effect on the temperature dependence of on-site contributions to K1(T) in FeNi. Our results not only provide insights into the limitations of the spin model in explaining the temperature dependence of MAE in itinerant ferromagnets but also highlight the need for further investigations. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex nature of MAE in itinerant magnetic systems.
