Gap Analysis of Interprofessional Communication Between Pharmacists and Oral Health Care Providers in Community Practices
Creators: name: Woodworth, Katharine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Current interprofessional communication techniques are inefficient and ineffective, leading to provider frustration, suboptimal patient care, and community-wide implications. Oral health care providers (OHCPs) in the United States prescribe high numbers of antibiotics and immediate release opioids, and have practice sites that are physically isolated from other healthcare professionals, making communication more challenging. This study was conducted to identify barriers to effective communication between community pharmacists and oral health care providers in order to: (1) inform processes for improving provider education and (2) inform training methods of future pharmacists. A mixed-methods approach was used. Community pharmacists with an active North Carolina (NC) license were eligible to participate, and were recruited via email from Continuing Education offices. The electronic survey assessed current communication methods, obstacles to optimal communication, and comparisons of OHCPs to other prescribers. Survey participants were asked to self-identify their interest in telephone interviews, which used thematic coding to assess the role of the pharmacist in combatting public health issues such as opioid abuse through interprofessional collaboration. There were 125 participants (response rate 9%) for the survey and 7 participants for the interviews. The most common reasons pharmacists contact OHCPs are to address incomplete prescriptions (40%) and medication-related problems (35%), with the most common medication-related problems being adverse drug reactions (35%) or cost issues (25%). Obstacles to communication identified as more challenging included lack of time and lack of professional relationships. Pharmacists’ impressions of OHCPs were largely positive. Possible strategies to address identified communication barriers include creation of a universal communication system and establishment of networks between pharmacists and community providers. This study lays the groundwork for future efforts in the field of interprofessional education research and practice, which can be used to improve delivery of community-based care.

description: The uncertain origin of the recently-discovered `changing-looking' quasar phenomenon -- in which a luminous quasar dims significantly to a quiescent state in repeat spectroscopy over ~10 year timescales -- may present unexpected challenges to our understanding of quasar accretion. To better understand this phenomenon, we take a first step to building a sample of changing-look quasars with a systematic but simple archival search for these objects in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12. By leveraging the >10 year baselines for objects with repeat spectroscopy, we uncover two new changing-look quasars, and a third discovered previously. Decomposition of the multi-epoch spectra and analysis of the broad emission lines suggest that the quasar accretion disk emission dims due to rapidly decreasing accretion rates (by factors of >2.5), while disfavoring changes in intrinsic dust extinction for the two objects where these analyses are possible. Broad emission line energetics also support intrinsic dimming of quasar emission as the origin for this phenomenon rather than transient tidal disruption events or supernovae. Although our search criteria included quasars at all redshifts and transitions from either quasar-like to galaxy-like states or the reverse, all of the clear cases of changing-look quasars discovered were at relatively low-redshift (z ~ 0.2 - 0.3) and only exhibit quasar-like to galaxy-like transitions.

description: A frequentist asymptotic expansion method for error estimation is employed for a network of gravitational wave detectors to assess the amount of information that can be extracted from gravitational wave observations. Mathematically we derive lower bounds in the errors that any parameter estimator will have in the absence of prior knowledge to distinguish between the post-Einsteinian (ppE) description of coalescing binary systems and that of general relativity. When such errors are smaller than the parameter value, there is possibility to detect these violations from GR. A parameter space with inclusion of dominant dephasing ppE parameters $(β, b)$ is used for a study of first- and second-order (co)variance expansions, focusing on the inspiral stage of a nonspinning binary system of zero eccentricity detectible through Adv. LIGO and Adv. Virgo. Our procedure is an improvement of the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound. When Bayesian errors are lower than our bound it means that they depend critically on the priors. The analysis indicates the possibility of constraining deviations from GR in inspiral SNR ($ρ\sim 15-17$) regimes that are achievable in upcoming scientific runs (GW150914 had an inspiral SNR $\sim 12$). The errors on $β$ also increase errors of other parameters such as the chirp mass $\mathcal{M}$ and symmetric mass ratio $η$. Application is done to existing alternative theories of gravity, which include modified dispersion relation of the waveform, non-spinning models of quadratic modified gravity, and dipole gravitational radiation (i.e., Brans-Dicke type) modifications.

description: Variational quantum algorithms are a promising tool for solving partial differential equations. The standard approach for its numerical solution are finite difference schemes, which can be reduced to the linear algebra problem. We consider three approaches to solve the heat equation on a quantum computer. Using the direct variational method we minimize the expectation value of a Hamiltonian with its ground state being the solution of the problem under study. Typically, an exponential number of Pauli products in the Hamiltonian decomposition does not allow for the quantum speed up to be achieved. The Hadamard test based approach solves this problem, however, the performed simulations do not evidently prove that the ansatz circuit has a polynomial depth with respect to the number of qubits. The ansatz tree approach exploits an explicit form of the matrix what makes it possible to achieve an advantage over classical algorithms. In our numerical simulations with up to $n=11$ qubits, this method reveals the exponential speed up.

description: We collected the hand anthropometric data of 91 respondents to come up with a Filipino-based measurement to determine the suitability of an input device for a digital equipment, the standard PC keyboard. For correlation purposes, we also collected other relevant information like age, height, province of origin, and gender, among others. We computed the percentiles for each finger to classify various finger dimensions and identify length-specific anthropometric cut-points. We compared the percentiles of each finger dimension against the actual length of the longest key combinations when correct finger placement is used for typing, to determine whether the standard PC keyboard is fit for use by our sampled population. Our analysis shows that the members of the population with hand dimensions at extended position below 75th percentile and at 99th percentile are the ones who would most likely not reach the longest key combination for the left and the right hands, respectively. Using machine vision and image processing techniques, we automated the anthropometric process and compared the accuracy of its measurements to that of manual process'. We compared the measurement generated by our automated anthropometric process with the measurements using the manual one and we found out that they have a very minimal absolute difference. The data collected from this study could be used in other studies such as determining a good design for mobile and other handheld devices, or input devices other than keyboard. The automated method that we developed could be used to easily measure hand dimensions given a digital image of the hand and could be extended for measuring the entire human body for various other applications.

Evaluating the Euro: An exploration of the Euro's impacts on the European Monetary Union
Creators: name: Maltsev, Daniel V.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The question of whether or not the Euro’s implementation has had a positive impact on
the Eurozone remains frequently debated. The purpose of my research is to provide a holistic
view of the Euro’s impact on the Eurozone. Shortly after the Euro’s implementation, Eurozone
nations experienced an increase in economic and financial growth that they otherwise would not
have. However, the Eurozone’s economic heterogeneity and lack of timely integration set the
Eurozone on a path of economic divergence, culminating the Eurozone Debt Crisis. Since the
debt crisis, European leaders have striven toward increased Eurozone integration in an effort to
strengthen the European Monetary Union; but, due to economic and political factors, will most
likely fail to do so in a timely manner. As a result, the Eurozone will continue, at least in the
short-run, to experience a continued economic divergence and a resulting decrease in lack of
popular support for the Euro.

Nonlinear perturbation of a high-order exceptional point: skin discrete breathers and the hierarchical power-law scaling

description: We study the nonlinear perturbation of a high-order exceptional point (EP) of the order equal to the system site number $L$ in a Hatano-Nelson model with unidirectional hopping and Kerr nonlinearity. Notably, We find a class of discrete breathers that aggregate to one boundary, here named as skin discrete breathers (SDBs). The nonlinear spectrum of these SDBs shows a hierarchical power-law scaling near the EP. Specifically, the response of nonlinear energy to the perturbation is given by $E_m\propto \varGamma^{α_{m}}$, where $α_m=3^{m-1}$ is the power with $m=1,\cdots,L$ labeling the nonlinear energy bands. This is in sharp contrast to the $L$-th root of a linear perturbation in general. These SDBs decay in a double-exponential manner, unlike the edge states or skin modes in linear systems, which decay exponentially. Furthermore, these SDBs can survive over the full range of nonlinearity strength and are continuously connected to the self-trapped states in the limit of large nonlinearity. They are also stable, as confirmed by a defined nonlinear fidelity of an adiabatic evolution from the stability analysis. As nonreciprocal nonlinear models may be experimentally realized in various platforms, such as the classical platform of optical waveguides, where Kerr nonlinearity is naturally present, and the quantum platform of optical lattices with Bose-Einstein condensates, our analytical results may inspire further exploration of the interplay between nonlinearity and non-Hermiticity, particularly on high-order EPs, and benchmark the relevant simulations.

description: Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal roles in the shaping of this attitude. Here, we contribute to the study of the genetic underpinnings of dispersal-related behavioral variation by assembling and annotating the first de novo transcriptome of the head tissues of Salamandra salamandra. Although dispersal occurs mostly during the post-metamorphic terrestrial life stage in this species, variation in dispersal-related personality traits is already evident at the aquatic larval stage, making it an excellent candidate species for studies of carry-over effects. We employed a structured pipeline to de-novo assemble and annotate transcripts from RNA-Seq in a set of individuals representative of distinct behavioral profiles. We obtained 1,153,432,918 reads, which were successfully de novo assembled and annotated. The high-quality assembly was confirmed by comparing BUSCO, DETONATE and TransRate with the S. salamandra dataset. By aligning the contigs against the de novo transcriptome we obtained a percentage of mapping higher than 94%. The homology annotation performed with DIAMOND led to 153,048 (blastx) and 95,942 (blastp) shared contigs, annotated on NCBI nr, Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. The domain and site protein prediction made with InterProScan led to 9850 GO-annotated contigs. This de-novo transcriptome represents reliable reference for whole transcriptome and proteome studies of other amphibians, for designing primers to clone specific genes or monitor their expression, and for analyzing comparative gene expression profiles between alternative behavioral types.
An Analysis of Species Diversity, Correlation and Autocorrelation of Marine Sponges in Mystery Basin, Florida Bay

description: Most research in and around Mystery Basin, located in Florida Bay, has centered on the ecology including what is present in the environment and their potential roles. Sea sponges are vital to the environment in Florida Bay, but little to no research has centered on their spatial structure. This paper investigates the spatial structure of Mystery Basin including species diversity, correlation between the four most abundant species and the autocorrelation of the four most abundant species. Initial results have indicated that some species have a spatial component to their distribution while other species are more randomly distributed. This highlights the need for further research, particularly for understanding anthropological perturbations to the system

Evidence of Bulk Acceleration of the GRB X-ray Flare Emission Region

description: Applying our recently-developed generalized version of the high-latitude emission theory to the observations of X-ray flares in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), we present here clear observational evidence that the X-ray flare emission region is undergoing rapid bulk acceleration as the photons are emitted. We show that both the observed X-ray flare light curves and the photon index evolution curves can be simultaneously reproduced within a simple physical model invoking synchrotron radiation in an accelerating emission region far from the GRB central engine. Such an acceleration process demands an additional energy dissipation source other than kinetic energy, which points towards a significant Poynting-flux in the emission region of X-ray flares. As the X-ray flares are believed to share a similar physical mechanism as the GRB prompt emission, our finding here hints that the GRB prompt emission jets may also carry a significant Poynting-flux in their emitting region.

description: Ethane is expected to be the dominant photochemical product on Titan's surface and, in the absence of a process that sequesters it from exposed surface reservoirs, a major constituent of its lakes and seas. Absorption of Cassini's 2.2 cm radar by Ligeia Mare however suggests that this north polar sea is dominated by methane. In order to explain this apparent ethane deficiency, we explore the possibility that Ligeia Mare is the visible part of an alkanofer that interacted with an underlying clathrate layer and investigate the influence of this interaction on an assumed initial ethane-methane mixture in the liquid phase. We find that progressive liquid entrapment in clathrate allows the surface liquid reservoir to become methane-dominated for any initial ethane mole fraction below 0.75. If interactions between alkanofers and clathrates are common on Titan, this should lead to the emergence of many methane-dominated seas or lakes.

Analyzing Symmetry of Stream Valleys to Characterize Possible Neogene Uplift in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina
Creators: name: Odom, William E., III
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Recent work has suggested that parts of the Appalachian Mountains were uplifted during
the Neogene, based on stream knickpoint analysis (Gallen et al., 2013; Miller et al.,
2013). Analysis of the symmetry of valleys has the potential to indicate tectonic activity
by determining migration trends of channels. Tectonic quiescence promotes lateral
migration of stream bends. This creates asymmetrical bend valleys with shallow point
bars and steep cut banks. Uplift promotes downcutting over lateral migration, producing
symmetrical stream valleys. Using LIDAR data and ArcMap software, I quantified the
symmetry of stream valleys in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. I
calculated the symmetry of valleys by dividing the right valley slope by the left valley
slope to form ratios ranging from 0 to 1, with 1 indicative of a symmetrical valley.
Where the right slope exceeded the left slope, I inverted the ratio to avoid numbers
greater than 1. I measured slope ratios across the Broad, Cullasaja, French Broad,
Linville, New, Pigeon, Toe, and Tuckasegee Rivers. To separate similar symmetry
values between areas of gentle and steep topography, I multiplied the symmetry value by
the average of the right and left slopes. The resultant values were then combined with a
knickpoint propagation model to project areas of equilibrating streams and relict
topography. Active landscapes were projected across most of the Blue Ridge Mountains
in North Carolina, excluding the French Broad river valley, which was either unaffected
by Neogene activity or equilibrated in the distant past. These conclusions agree with
hypothesized locations of active landscapes, in addition to projecting new potential
locations of rejuvenation.

description: In their paper proving the Hirsch bound for flag normal simplicial complexes (Math. Oper.~Res.~2014) Adiprasito and Benedetti define the notion of~\emph{combinatorial segment}. The study of the maximal length of these objects provides the upper bound~$O(n2^d)$ for the diameter of any normal pure simplicial complex of dimension~$d$ with~$n$ vertices, and the Hirsch bound $n-d$ if the complexes are, moreover, flag. In the present article, we propose a formulation of combinatorial segments which is equivalent but more local, by introducing the notions of monotonicity and conservativeness of dual paths in pure simplicial complexes. We use this definition to investigate further properties of combinatorial segments. Besides recovering the two stated bounds, we show a refined bound for banner complexes, and study the behavior of the maximal length of combinatorial segments with respect to two usual operations, namely join and one-point suspension. Finally, we show the limitations of combinatorial segments by constructing pure normal simplicial complexes in which all combinatorial segments between two particular facets achieve the length $Ω(n2^{d})$. This includes vertex-decomposable---therefore Hirsch---polytopes.

Creators: name: Wooten, Kylee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study is to analyze the content of racially and ethnically diverse male and female fitness microcelebrities’ Instagram accounts to better understand the presentation portrayal of a fit, ideal body to the public. His/her self-presentation through photographs and captions will be analyzed through traditional gender norms, as identified by previous research conducted by Erving Goffman (1959) and Levant et al. (1992). The studies stemming from these scholars show the prevalence in which personal brands reflect and influence the trends of the ideal body of the man and woman, and the attitudes men and women of different racial backgrounds may face towards those images. Prior research investigating body image in the context of gender and race, as well as social media similarities and differences in the type of content male and female-run accounts display on their accounts will provide a deeper insight into these topics.

description: We show that fuzzy spheres are solutions of ${\it Lorentzian}$ IKKT matrix models. The fuzzy sphere solutions serve as toy models of closed noncommutative cosmologies where big bang/crunch singularities appear only after taking the commutative limit. The commutative limit of these solutions corresponds to a sphere embedded in Minkowski space. This `sphere' has several novel features. The induced metric does not agree with the standard metric on the sphere, and moreover, it does not have a fixed signature. The curvature computed from the induced metric is not constant, has singularities at fixed latitudes (not corresponding to the poles) and is negative. Perturbations are made about the solutions, and are shown to yield a scalar field theory on the sphere in the commutative limit. The scalar field can become tachyonic for a range of the parameters of the theory.

description: In December 2017, a group of digital preservation service providers released a Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values draft document and invited feedback from the digital preservation community. This draft document was the culmination of months of effort on the part of representatives from North American (United States and Canada) non-profit organizations who attempted to develop a set of common principles and values related to their organization’s digital preservation service offerings and community efforts. This effort around defining shared values was an initial step in identifying potential areas of collaborative work that these service providers could explore in the near future. During the open comment period (December 2017 to March 2018), numerous comments, insights, and critiques were provided by individuals. This community feedback has assisted this nascent group in identifying where the document needs to be clarified and focused, but more importantly has highlighted a number of issues worth exploring more deeply. This panel will begin with a brief background and contextual framing for the Digital Preservation Declaration of Shared Values, and would then shift to a facilitated discussion with the audience around some of the issues identified during the open comment period, including, but not limited to: Open vs. closed in relation to content, software source code, infrastructure; Challenges of ‘affordability’ and costs of digital preservation services; Cumulative goal of digital preservation (ie, a compiled record of human events, a partial digital reflection); The definition of ‘Collaboration’; and Sustainability as a shared value.

description: A Valence bond solid (VBS) is a nonmagnetic, long-range ordered state of a quantum spin system where local spin singlets are formed in some regular pattern. We here study the competition between VBS order and a fully polarized ferromagnetic state as function of an external magnetic field in a one-dimensional extended Heisenberg model---the J-Q$_2$ model---using stochastic series expansion quantum Monte Carlo simulations with directed loop updates. We discuss the ground state phase diagram.

description: Exact cancellation of quantum amplitudes in multiphoton interferences with Fock states at input, the so-called suppression or zero transmission laws generalizing the Hong-Ou-Mandel dip, are useful tool in quantum information and computation. It was recently suggested that all bosonic suppression laws follow from a common permutation symmetry in the input quantum state and the unitary matrix of interferometer. By using the recurrence relations for interference of Fock states, we find a wealth of suppression laws on the beamsplitter and tritter which are not explained by the permutation symmetry principle. Our results reveal that in interference with Fock states on unitary multiports there are whole families of suppression laws for arbitrary total number of bosons even on asymmetric unitary multiports, beyond the previously formulated permutation symmetry principle.

description: We develop an adaptive method for quantum state preparation that utilizes randomness as an essential component and that does not require classical optimization. Instead, a cost function is minimized to prepare a desired quantum state through an adaptively constructed quantum circuit, where each adaptive step is informed by feedback from gradient measurements in which the associated tangent space directions are randomized. We provide theoretical arguments and numerical evidence that convergence to the target state can be achieved for almost all initial states. We investigate different randomization procedures and develop lower bounds on the expected cost function change, which allows for drawing connections to barren plateaus and for assessing the applicability of the algorithm to large-scale problems.

description: Originally designed as a new nuclear reactor monitoring device, the Nucifer detector has successfully detected its first neutrinos. We provide the second shortest baseline measurement of the reactor neutrino flux. The detection of electron antineutrinos emitted in the decay chains of the fission products, combined with reactor core simulations, provides an new tool to assess both the thermal power and the fissile content of the whole nuclear core and could be used by the Inter- national Agency for Atomic Energy (IAEA) to enhance the Safeguards of civil nuclear reactors. Deployed at only 7.2m away from the compact Osiris research reactor core (70MW) operating at the Saclay research centre of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), the experiment also exhibits a well-suited configuration to search for a new short baseline oscillation. We report the first results of the Nucifer experiment, describing the performances of the 0.85m3 detector remotely operating at a shallow depth equivalent to 12m of water and under intense background radiation conditions. Based on 145 (106) days of data with reactor ON (OFF), leading to the detection of an estimated 40760 electron antineutrinos, the mean number of detected antineutrinos is 281 +- 7(stat) +- 18(syst) electron antineutrinos/day, in agreement with the prediction 277(23) electron antineutrinos/day. Due the the large background no conclusive results on the existence of light sterile neutrinos could be derived, however. As a first societal application we quantify how antineutrinos could be used for the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement.

Hundi System in Medieval India: Perspectives from Economic History

Subjects: Economic history

description: Hundis in Medieval India were financial instruments that were used for remittance across distant places. In this paper, I compile the narratives provided by South Asian historians about the hundi system and re-examine the historical evidence in light of theories from institutional economics and economic history. A key insight in institutional economics is that, in the absence of a formal legal regime for contract enforcement, social norms provide protections for contracting parties in complex economic exchanges. I explore how the societal and cultural pressures affected the workings of the sarrafs - the issuers of the hundis, and ensured that sarrafs would not dishonour hundi contracts or overcharge their clients. Finally, the paper also provides a framework for further studies to compare similar instruments across time and space. I have used the method of analytic narratives to provide an economic history perspective to the historical narratives available. The insights from this paper could be used to examine the arguments of 'The Great Divergence' - inclduing the ones that argue for the superior mobility of capital in Europe during the medieval period.

description: Bolton and Schlegel presented a promising deconvolution method to extract 1D spectra from a 2D optical fiber spectral CCD image. The method could eliminate the PSF difference between fibers, extract spectra to the photo noise level, as well as improve the resolution. But the method is limited by its huge computation requirement and thus cannot be implemented in actual data reduction. In this article, we develop a practical computation method to solve the computation problem. The new computation method can deconvolve a 2D fiber spectral image of any size with actual PSFs, which may vary with positions. Our method does not require large amounts of memory and can extract a 4k multi 4k noise-free CCD image with 250 fibers in 2 hr. To make our method more practical, we further consider the influence of noise, which is thought to be an intrinsic illposed problem in deconvolution algorithms. We modify our method with a Tikhonov regularization item to depress the method induced noise. Compared with the results of traditional extraction methods, our method has the least residual and influence by cross talk and noise, even for extreme situation. Our method can convergent in 2 to 4 iterations, and the computation times are about 3.5 hr for the extreme fiber distance and about 2 hr for nonextreme cases. Finally, we apply our method to real LAMOST (Large sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope, a.k.a. Guo Shou Jing Telescope) data. We find that the 1D spectra extracted by our method have both higher signal-to-noise ratio and resolution than the traditional methods.

Evidence of a $J/ψK_S^0$ structure in $B^0 \to J/ψϕK_S^0$ decays
Creators: name: LHCb Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: An amplitude analysis of $B^0 \to J/ψϕK_S^0$ decays is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$, collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. Evidence with a significance of $4.0$ standard deviations of a structure in the $J/ψK_S^0$ system, named $T_{ψs1}^θ(4000)^0$, is seen, with its mass and width measured to be $3991~_{-10}^{+12}~^{+\phantom{0}9}_{-17}$ MeV and $105~_{-25}^{+29}~^{+17}_{-23}$ MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The $T_{ψs1}^θ(4000)^0$ state is likely to be the isospin partner of the $T_{ψs1}^θ(4000)^+$ state, previously observed in the $J/ψK^+$ system of the $B^+ \to J/ψϕK^+$ decay. When isospin symmetry for the charged and neutral $T_{ψs1}^θ(4000)$ states, is assumed, the signal significance increases to $5.4$ standard deviations.
