Magnetohydrodynamics and High Velocity Cloud Stability
Creators: name: Yu, Keming
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: High Velocity Clouds are baryonic gas clouds scattered throughout the galactic halo, whose velocities do not match a standard galactic rotation pattern. Their hydrodynamical stability against disruption during their passage through the halo contributes to feeding star formation in the Galaxy. By simulating the interacting interface between cloud and halo gas as a Rayleigh-Taylor instability problem, we can investigate the stability criteria for high velocity clouds. This problem is the high velocity cloud survival problem and is relevant to many areas of astrophysics.
One of the important mechanisms that stabilizes the gas cloud and prevents hydrodynamical instabilities is the magnetic field. Therefore, the thesis starts with a review of integrating magnetic field into the fluid dynamical equations. This is the field of magnetohydrodynamics(MHD). A formulation of perturbative analysis and linearization that is very common in MHD is also presented.
A detailed discussion of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability is given in the ideal MHD context. Without magnetic fields, the fluid configuration is always unstable. The introduction of magnetic fields results in a stability criterion: magnetic fields that are large enough in strength can prevent the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. In addition, to suit needs in astrophysics, the effect of compressibility on the growth rate is discussed. We conclude that compressibility does decrease the growth rate of the instability but does not change the stability criterion.
Since the clouds and gas may be partially ionized, we discuss non-ideal MHD where there is no perfect coupling between ions and neutrals. We compare the two-fluid approach and one-fluid approach separately in analysis of not perfectly coupled, partially ionized gas. We show that as long as there is no perfect cou- pling between ions and neutrals, Rayleigh-Taylor instability of neutral species in the partially ionized fluid cannot be prevented at any strengths of the magnetic fields.

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Aslamazov-Larkin conductivity (ALC) in the Weyl semi-metals is calculated both for Type-I and Type II for different dimensionality and magnetic fields. The ALC strongly depends on the tilt parameter of the dispersion relation cone. While the 3D and 2D the Aslamazov -Larkin conductivity slightly depends on tilt parameter in Type-I phase and increases in the Type-II phase the 1D ALC decreases in Type-I phase up to zero close to border between Type-I and Type-II phases. Results are discussed in light of the resent experiments on the layered HfTe5 Weyl semi-metals. It is concluded the one dimensional AL conductivity well explained the experimental data.

description: The gut and brain communicate with each other via the gut-brain axis, a specific pathway that involves the neural, endocrine, and immune systems. Improving the gut microbiota could improve the quality of sleep, as the gut bacteria also produce melatonin that the brain uses to regulate sleep. A study showed that a probiotic formula bacterial strain intake could improve sleep quality and reduce the number of episodes of wakefulness in individuals suffering from sleep alterations and/or insomnia and, specifically, induce a more mature sleep pattern in infants and young children.

description: We present a general translation of term rewrite systems to logic programs such that
basic rewriting derivations become logic deductions. Certain rewrite systems result
in so-called cs-programs, which were originally studied in the context of constraint
systems and tree tuple languages. By applying results of cs-programs we obtain new
classes of rewrite systems that preserve recognizability (i.e. systems with the property
that the terms reachable from a regular set of terms by rewriting form again a regular
set). Our findings generalize previous results in the field of term rewriting and can be
useful for reachability problems originating for example from the verification of infinite
state systems.

Climate Risk in the American Financial System - A Bottom Up Approach
Creators: name: Ari Singer-Freeman
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Climate change will inevitably lead some companies to default on their debt, putting stress on banks and financial institutions. To ensure financial stability, financial institutions must prepare for climate risk appropriately. Although the first step to mitigating climate risk is quantifying that risk, researchers have not come to a consensus on the magnitude of climate-related credit risk. This thesis builds on prior research by taking a bottom-up approach to modeling climate risk in the American financial system. I find that risk is concentrated in certain companies, industries, regions, and financial institutions. Although these findings do not provide evidence that there is systematic climate risk in the American financial system, they do indicate that certain parts of the financial system are vulnerable and warrant regulation.

description: We present a new method to test the cosmological model, based on the non-linear relation between ultraviolet and X-ray luminosity of quasars. We built a data set of ~1,138 quasars by merging several literature samples with X-ray measurements at 2 keV and SDSS photometry, which was used to estimate the extinction-corrected 2500 Angstrom flux. We obtained three main results: (1) we checked the relation between X-ray and UV luminosities in small redshift bins up to z~6, confirming that it holds at all redshifts with the same slope; (2) we built a Hubble diagram for quasars up to z~6, which is well matched to that of supernovae in the common z=0-1.4 interval, and extends the test of the cosmological model up to z~6; (3) we showed that this relation is a powerful tool to estimate cosmological parameters. Assuming a LambdaCDM model, we obtain Omega_M=0.22+0.08-0.10 and Omega_Lambda=0.92+0.18-0.30 (Omega_M=0.28+-0.04 and Omega_Λ=0.73+-0.08 from a joint quasar-SNe fit). However, much more precise measurements will be achieved in the future. A few thousands SDSS quasars already have serendipitous X-ray observations with Chandra or XMM-Newton, and at least 100,000 quasars with UV and X-ray data will be available from the eROSITA all-sky survey in a few years. Euclid, LSST, and Athena surveys will further increase the sample size to at least several hundred thousands. Our simulations show that these samples will provide tight constraints on the cosmological parameters, and will allow to test possible deviations from the standard model with higher precisions than available today.

description: Imputing missing values is common practice in label-free quantitative proteomics. Imputation aims at replacing a missing value with a user-defined one. However, the imputation itself may not be optimally considered downstream of the imputation process, as imputed datasets are often considered as if they had always been complete. Hence, the uncertainty due to the imputation is not adequately taken into account. We provide a rigorous multiple imputation strategy, leading to a less biased estimation of the parameters' variability thanks to Rubin's rules. The imputation-based peptide's intensities' variance estimator is then moderated using Bayesian hierarchical models. This estimator is finally included in moderated t-test statistics to provide differential analyses results. This workflow can be used both at peptide and protein-level in quantification datasets. For protein-level results based on peptide-level quantification data, an aggregation step is also included. Our methodology, named mi4p, was compared to the state-of-the-art limma workflow implemented in the DAPAR R package, both on simulated and real datasets. We observed a trade-off between sensitivity and specificity, while the overall performance of mi4p outperforms DAPAR in terms of F-Score.
description: The methodology here described is implemented under the R environment and can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/mariechion/mi4p.

description: The problem of determining a metal's Fermi surface from measurements of projections of the electron or electron/positron momentum densities, such as obtained by Compton Scattering or Angular Correlation of Positron Annihilation Radiation, respectively, is considered in a Bayesian formulation. A consistent approach is presented and its advantages compared to previous practice is discussed. A validation of the proposed method on simulated data shows its systematic accuracy to be very satisfactory and its statistical precision on modest experimental data to be surprisingly good.

description: In contrast to other agents of imperialism, Protestant missionaries were not (or at least not primarily) committed to a modern, secular concept of history in the Enlightenment tradition. Rooted, for the most part, in pietism or evangelicalism, they saw world history as part of a much wider history of salvation that was ultimately a divine project. Salvation history implied a teleology that would inevitably culminate in the establishment of the Kingdom of God. World history, on the other hand, was not meaningless: For those who were able to “read” it, historical events provided clues to God’s eschatological programme; at the same time, they testified to the intervention of God in human history. In the missionary discourse, confrontations with the colonial ‘Other’ had the same function of providing examples to corroborate the construction of a history beyond human history. This becomes evident in my analysis of a case study from China, a country that was not formally colonized, but which was subjected to “Western” dominance. The coverage of two events (the Boxer War of 1900 / 01 and the Republican revolution of 1911/12) in the periodical Chinese Recorder, notwithstanding differences, shows how contemporary events were regarded as proving divine immanence in history. In so doing, it not only points to ways of coping with imperialistic anxieties, but also calls for a more nuanced understanding of colonial modernity as a formation that includes the seemingly premodern.

Navegando COVID-19: Examining the Impact of COVID-19 on Rural NC ESL Teachers
Creators: name: Rekeibe, Sophia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: COVID-19 has changed every aspect of our social sphere. From work to social gatherings, everyone has drastically changed their routine. Education is not different in that regard. Many public schools were forced to grapple with COVID-19 and shift to virtual classes in March of 2020. Underserved communities in North Carolina undoubtedly face exacerbated inequalities due to COVID-19 and English Language Learners (ELLs) are no exception to that. North Carolina becomes a unique space for investigation as previous research would describe it as a "new destination" state for immigrants. I will be specifically examining ESL teachers and their roles as interpreters (figuratively and literally) between North Carolina public education and their immigrant Latino students (and their families). My research questions are (1) how is COVID-19 affecting opportunities of learning among ESL students, and (2) how are ESL teachers seeking to respond to COVID-19 effects on their students? I will be collecting my data by conducting qualitative interviews of ESL and classroom teachers in a rural North Carolina school district. These interviews illuminate that the technological divide has negatively impacted ESL students' ability to both physically and mentally log into school. In response, ESL teachers become the literal and figurative interpreters to help their students survive virtual school. As the racial and ethnic demographic of Unites States continues to shift, the U.S. education system must be able to adapt and evolve with its community in order to meet the needs of its students.

description: We investigate path integral quantization of two versions of unimodular gravity. First a fully diffeomorphism-invariant theory is analyzed, which does not include a unimodular condition on the metric, while still being equivalent to other unimodular gravity theories at the classical level. The path integral has the same form as in general relativity (GR), except that the cosmological constant is an unspecified value of a variable, and it thus is unrelated to any coupling constant. When the state of the universe is a superposition of vacuum states, the path integral is extended to include an integral over the cosmological constant. Second, we analyze the standard unimodular theory of gravity, where the metric determinant is fixed by a constraint. Its path integral differs from the one of GR in two ways: the metric of spacetime satisfies the unimodular condition only in average over space, and both the Hamiltonian constraint and the associated gauge condition have zero average over space. Finally, the canonical relation between the given unimodular theories of gravity is established.

description: This work applies the contact formalism of classical mechanics and classical field theory, introduced by Herglotz and later developed in the context of contact geometry, to describe electromagnetic systems with dissipation. In particular, we study an electron in a non-perfect conductor and a variation of the cyclotron radiation. In order to apply the contact formalism to a system governed by the Lorentz force, it is necessary to generalize the classical electromagnetic gauge and add a term in the Lagrangian. We also apply the k-contact theory for classical fields to model the behaviour of electromagnetic fields themselves under external damping. In particular, we show how the theory describes the evolution of electromagnetic fields in media under some circumstances. The corresponding Poynting theorem is derived. We discuss its applicability to the Lorentz dipole model and to a highly resistive dielectric.

Description of educational techniques for childhood immunization hesitant parents

description: Childhood vaccine hesitancy proliferation led to the World Health Organization identifying it as one of the leading threats to global health in 2019 (World Health Organization, 2019). While hesitancy has been present since the beginning of vaccine development, fears have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccine roll out. There is ample research available about provider (ex: physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant) communication and education regarding vaccines. Currently, there is very limited evidence about the nurse’s role in vaccine education and no evidence about an interprofessional approach. This lack of evidence poses a significant gap with opportunities to design more effective methods to educate vaccine hesitant parents. This project explored the strategies various professions, used to educate hesitant parents about vaccines to identify if any took an interprofessional approach. Individual interviews were conducted between January and March of 2021. The participants (n=7) had a variety of in-patient and outpatient experiences and included one pediatrician, one pediatric nurse practitioner, one family practice nurse practitioner, one school nurse practitioner, two registered nurses, and one pharmacist. The interviews were transcribed and coded for a qualitative thematic analysis. The results showed there were no shared standardized protocols or clear roles for all professions when it came to educating about vaccines. It was found that Vaccine Information Sheets produced by the CDC were foundational to the education. Across professionals, they emphasized relationship centered care with families. Future research should be done to design and test the effectiveness of an interprofessional intervention to educate vaccine hesitant parents.

These measurements demonstrate the feasibility of using short pulsed measurements for a variety of quantum optomechanical applications despite the presence of steady-state optical heating.

description: ABSTRACT

Muiruri, Kimathi. “Their City, Our Terms: The Livelihood and Political Strategies of African Migrant Labourers in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal c. 1874-1906.” Hon. Thesis, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 2021.

The second half of the nineteenth century was an age of confusion for a great many of the Africans who lived in the Southeastern area of the African continent then called the Colony of Natal. In addition to enacting brutal and violent occupation, British settlers also intentionally impoverished African communities so as to render their agricultural and pastoral practices insufficient for survival. These factors caused many Africans to enter into the largest city of the colony, Durban, to find work as wage labourers. This thesis explores how African migrant labourers in Durban navigated the urban space, colonial-capitalist political economy, and indigenous African political economy to develop new livelihood strategies that allowed them to survive and prosper. In particular, this thesis is interested in understanding how dynamics of job seeking, urban housing, and urban labour action affected the self-conceptions and group identities of young migrant labouring men, and how these altered categories of identity fostered challenges toward the settler colonial state and generation-based patriarchal African power structures. I argue that migrant labourers reformed indigenous African ontologies, renegotiated ideas of maturation and masculinity, and developed labour-based political organizing strategies to confront the specific urban challenges of heightened intercourse with the colonial state and dislocation from old African lifeways. In doing so, migrant labourers in Durban both expressed new senses of individual agency and developed durable social identities with other labourers from disparate rural origins. Over time, these labourers constructed a political and social infrastructure which substantially shifted the power in African politics toward the young and the landless; and leveraged this power to pose a genuine challenge to colonial-capitalist domination by acting on their new senses of individual power and collective potential. By focusing on the site of the city, I highlight how urban challenges combined with rural-informed life practices to forge new capabilities for social organizing and expanded political imaginations which could not have found root anywhere else in the colony.

The extra U(1) symmetries broken by the orbifold projection control the flavor structure of soft SUSY-breaking parameters as well as the Yukawa couplings, and a scalar component of the one of moduli multiplets, which arise from extra-dimensional components of the U(1) vector multiplets, induces the slow-roll inflation. Because of the supersymmetric moduli stabilization as well as the moduli inflation, it is found that the correct dark matter relic abundance is non-thermally generated by the gravitino decaying into the wino.

description: Emergency responders (i.e. military, firefighter, law enforcement), athletes and individuals in numerous occupations must be physically and cognitively ready to perform demanding tasks. Prediction of an individual’s readiness to perform at physical peak is multi-factorial in nature and context specific. Existing methods of assessing readiness are often subjective and have limited utility in the field. This presents a critical barrier, especially for emergency responder populations, who are required to perform numerous occupational tasks in the field requiring high levels of readiness. While performing occupational specific tasks a variety of stressors (i.e. physical fatigue, sleep deprivation, nutritional, load carriage, environmental conditions) may attenuate performance. For most emergency responders readiness necessitates the individual is ready to perform a variety of physical and mental tasks adequately to complete the mission. In military populations common physical tasks include ruck marching (aerobic capacity), carrying injured combatants (muscular strength and endurance), and sprinting to cover (power and speed) while common cognitive tasks include visual scanning, object recognition, short and long term memory recall. With the growing interest in biomarkers as predictors of performance, several reviews have been conducted on the topic. The current literature indicates that potential salivary biomarkers to predict performance are IL-1β, TNF-⍺, IL-6, neutrophils, glutamine, urea and the testosterone:cortisol ratio are potential candidates to indicate physical performance. The levels of salivary C-reactive protein (CRP) were most consistent with blood levels, thus were identified as a potential reliable candidate to be further investigated. A recent review has identified articles that examined the use of non-invasive methods to assess physical exertion and fatigue under military settings. Bustos and colleagues reported that heart rate and thermal monitoring were most prevalent with only a few articles examining salivary biomarkers. To advance knowledge in the area of salivary biomarkers of readiness we will first conduct a scoping then a systematic review of existing literature. In both cases PRISMA guidelines will be followed.

description: Electronic transitions of the title molecules were measured between 250 and 710 nm using a mass-resolved 1+1' resonant two-photon ionization technique at a resolution of 0.1 nm. Calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVQZ level of theory support the analyses. Because of their spectral properties, SiC$_2$, linear Si$_2$C$_2$, Si$_3$C, and SiC$_6$H$_4$ are interesting target species for astronomical searches in the visible spectral region. Of special relevance is the Si--C$_2$--Si chain, which features a prominent band at 516.4 nm of a strong transition ($f=0.25$). This band and one from SiC$_6$H$_4$ at 445.3 nm were also investigated at higher resolution (0.002 nm).

description: We study lattice constructions of gapped fermionic phases of matter. We show that the construction of fermionic Symmetry Protected Topological orders by Gu and Wen has a hidden dependence on a discrete spin structure on the Euclidean space-time. The spin structure is needed to resolve ambiguities which are otherwise present. An identical ambiguity is shown to arise in the fermionic analog of the string-net construction of 2D topological orders. We argue that the need for a spin structure is a general feature of lattice models with local fermionic degrees of freedom and is a lattice analog of the spin-statistics relation.

description: Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and adenocarcinoma (LADC) are the most common lung cancer subtypes. Molecular targeted treatments have improved LADC patient survival but are largely ineffective in LSCC. The tumor suppressor FBW7 is commonly mutated or down-regulated in human LSCC, and oncogenic KRasG12D activation combined with Fbxw7 inactivation in mice (KF model) caused both LSCC and LADC. Lineage-tracing experiments showed that CC10+, but not basal, cells are the cells of origin of LSCC in KF mice. KF LSCC tumors recapitulated human LSCC resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy, and we identified LUBAC-mediated NF-κB signaling as a determinant of chemotherapy resistance in human and mouse. Inhibition of NF-κB activation using TAK1 or LUBAC inhibitors resensitized LSCC tumors to cisplatin, suggesting a future avenue for LSCC patient treatment.

description: Mobile micro-cloud is an emerging technology in distributed computing, which is aimed at providing seamless computing/data access to the edge of the network when a centralized service may suffer from poor connectivity and long latency. Different from the traditional cloud, a mobile micro-cloud is smaller and deployed closer to users, typically attached to a cellular basestation or wireless network access point. Due to the relatively small coverage area of each basestation or access point, when a user moves across areas covered by different basestations or access points which are attached to different micro-clouds, issues of service performance and service migration become important. In this paper, we consider such migration issues. We model the general problem as a Markov decision process (MDP), and show that, in the special case where the mobile user follows a one-dimensional asymmetric random walk mobility model, the optimal policy for service migration is a threshold policy. We obtain the analytical solution for the cost resulting from arbitrary thresholds, and then propose an algorithm for finding the optimal thresholds. The proposed algorithm is more efficient than standard mechanisms for solving MDPs.

description: This paper investigates the uplink cascaded channel estimation for intelligent-reflecting-surface (IRS)-assisted multi-user multiple-input-single-output systems. We focus on a sub-6 GHz scenario where the channel propagation is not sparse and the number of IRS elements can be larger than the number of BS antennas. A novel channel estimation protocol without the need of on-off amplitude control to avoid the reflection power loss is proposed. In addition, the pilot overhead is substantially reduced by exploiting the common-link structure to decompose the cascaded channel coefficients by the multiplication of the common-link variables and the user-specific variables. However, these two types of variables are highly coupled, which makes them difficult to estimate. To address this issue, we formulate an optimization-based joint channel estimation problem, which only utilizes the covariance of the cascaded channel. Then, we design a low-complexity alternating optimization algorithm with efficient initialization for the non-convex optimization problem, which achieves a local optimum solution. To further enhance the estimation accuracy, we propose a new formulation to optimize the training phase shifting configuration for the proposed protocol, and then solve it using the successive convex approximation algorithm. Comprehensive simulations verify that the proposed algorithm has supreme performance compared to various state-of-the-art baseline schemes.

description: We study the dynamics of a single photon pulse travels through a linear atomic chain coupled to a one-dimensional (1D) single mode photonic waveguide. We derive a time-dependent dynamical theory for this collective many-body system which allows us to study the real time evolution of the photon transport and the atomic excitations. Our analytical result is consistent with previous numerical calculations when there is only one atom. For an atomic chain, the collective interaction between the atoms mediated by the waveguide mode can significantly change the dynamics of the system. The reflectivity of a photon can be tuned by changing the ratio of coupling strength and the photon linewidth or by changing the number of atoms in the chain. The reflectivity of a single photon pulse with finite bandwidth can even approach $100\%$. The spectrum of the reflected and transmitted photon can also be significantly different from the single atom case. Many interesting physical phenomena can occur in this system such as the photonic bandgap effects, quantum entanglement generation, Fano-like interference, and superradiant effects. For engineering, this system may serve as a single photon frequency filter, single photon modulation and may find important applications in quantum information.
