description: Previous studies on natural samples of pampaloite (AuSbTe) revealed the crystal structure of a potentially cleavable and/or exfoliable material, while studies on natural and synthetic montbrayite (Sb-containing Au$_2$Te$_3$) claimed various chemical compositions for this low symmetry compound. Few investigations of synthetic samples have been reported for both materials, leaving much of their chemical, thermal and electronic characteristics unknown. Here, we investigate the stability, electronic properties and synthesis of the gold antimony tellurides AuSbTe and Au$_{1.9}$Sb$_{0.46}$Te$_{2.64}$ (montbrayite). Differential thermal analysis and $\textit{in situ}$ powder x-ray diffraction revealed that AuSbTe is incongruently melting, while Au$_{1.9}$Sb$_{0.46}$Te$_{2.64}$ is congruently melting. Calculations of the band structures and four-point resistivity measurements showed that AuSbTe is a semiconductor and Au$_{1.9}$Sb$_{0.46}$Te$_{2.64}$ a metal. Various synthesis attempts confirmed the limited stable chemical composition of Au$_{1.9}$Sb$_{0.46}$Te$_{2.64}$, identified successful methods to synthesize both compounds, and highlighted the challenges associated with single crystal synthesis of AuSbTe.

The effects of HIV-1 transactivator of transcription (Tat) on synaptic density in the Tat mouse model of HIV-1 associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) (Under the direction of Sylvia Fitting)
Creators: name: Key, Megan  Claudia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: HIV-1 associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) affect about 15-55% of HIV positive patients to date; and although the traditional form of therapy, combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), has been sufficient to suppress the more severe dementia-causing form of HAND, the proportion of seropositive patients experiencing minor neurocognitive disorders (MND) or asymptomatic neurocognitive impairments (ANI) due to HAND, has not changed. While cART therapy is inefficient in treating MND- and ANI-related HAND and its underlying synaptodendritic pruning pathology, cART does however decrease the occurrence of HIV-related encephalitis. This link neurocognitive decline to functional deficits in brain-wise microstructure and the characteristic degenerating synaptodendritic pruning morphology. HIV-1 neurotoxic transactivator of transcription (Tat) protein expression alone recapitulates this degenerative synaptic morphology and neuronal pathology. Thus, we utilized a Tat transgenic mouse model in this study to investigate the longitudinal effects of Tat on ubiquitous synaptic density in vivo. Positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging of the synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) selective radiotracer [11C]-UCB-J, over three months, indicate a downregulation of SV2A in the frontal cortex of transgenic Tat(+) mice compared to Tat(−) controls over time. These findings suggest a decrease in synaptic density due to Tat expression, which might be a suitable biomarker for early disease progression in HIV-1 infection.

Domesticating the German East: Nazi Propaganda and Women's Roles in the "Germanization" of the Warthegau during World War II
Creators: name: James, Madeline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This thesis utilizes Nazi women’s propaganda to explore the relationship between Nazi gender and racial ideology, particularly in relation to the Nazi Germanization program in the Warthegau during World War II. At the heart of this study is an examination of a paradox inherent in Nazi gender ideology, which simultaneously limited and expanded “Aryan” German women’s roles in the greater German community. Far from being “returned to the home” by the Nazis in 1933, German women experienced an expanded sphere of influence both within and beyond the borders of the Reich due to their social and cultural roles as “mothers of the nation.” As “bearers of German culture,” German women came to occupy a significant role in Nazi plans to create a new “German homeland” in Eastern Europe. This female role of “domesticating” the East, opposite the perceived “male” tasks of occupation, expulsion, and resettlement, entailed cultivating and reinforcing Germanness in the Volksdeutsche (ethnic German) communities, molding them into “future masters of the German East.” This thesis therefore also examines the ways in which Reich German women utilized the notion of a distinctly female cultural sphere to stake a claim in the Germanizing mission.

description: This paper assesses intersubband transitions in the 1 to 10 THz frequency range in nonpolar m-plane GaN/AlGaN multi-quantum-wells deposited on free-standing semi-insulating GaN substrates. The quantum wells were designed to contain two confined electronic levels, decoupled from the neighboring wells. Structural analysis reveals flat and regular quantum wells in the two perpendicular inplane directions, with high-resolution images showing inhomogeneities of the Al composition in the barriers along the growth axis. We do not observe extended structural defects introduced by the epitaxial process. Low-temperature intersubband absorption from 1.5 to 9 THz is demonstrated, covering part of the 7 to 10 THz band forbidden to GaAs-based technologies.
Decoupled strontium and lead isotopes in North Carolina rivers
Creators: name: Crenshaw, Amanda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Data show that the primary sources of Sr and Pb to North Carolina surface waters are decoupled: Sr is interpreted to be derived from geologic sources, and Pb is interpreted to be derived from anthropogenic sources. Strontium is isotopically linked to variations in exposed bedrock across the state. The isotopic composition of Sr converges toward recent seawater values at the coast. The concentration of Pb in the dissolved load increases downstream, but Pb remains isotopically consistent throughout the state. These results suggest that, whereas the dissolved Sr in surface water is primarily from bedrock sources such as groundwater and channel incision, the Pb is derived from a more homogenous widespread source. Isotopic data suggest that the dominant sources of dissolved Pb in North Carolina streams today are most likely a combination of waste from coal combustion and remnant leaded gasoline contamination, with bedrock showing lesser influence on Pb isotopic composition.

description: Saturation of gluon distribution is a consequence of the non-linear evolution equations of QCD. Saturation implies the existence of so called saturation momentum which is defined as a gluon density per unit rapidity per transverse area. At large energies for certain kinematical domains saturation momentum is the only scale for physical processes. As a consequence different observables exhibit geometrical scaling (GS). We discuss a number of examples of GS in different reactions.

THE RACIALIZED INCORPORATION OF LATINOS IN EDUCATION: THE ROLE OF SKIN COLOR AND IMMIGRANT ORIGINS ON COLLEGE COMPLETION AND COLLEGE ATTITUDES
Creators: name: Manrique, Ruy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Using Add-Health restricted-use data, I analyze the effects of interviewer-reported skin color on self-rated intelligence, college attitudes, and college completion rates among Latinos, given their immigrant origins and family background. The results of linear probability models suggest that skin color and citizenship have effects on the probability of completing college by Wave 4 of Add Health. Latinos have decreasing probabilities of completing college as their skin tone is reported as lower. Nonetheless, the effects of skin color on college completion rates become non-significant after controlling for self-rated intelligence and college expectations, both measured in adolescence. Also, Latinos that have not attained citizenship by Wave 4 are 7% less likely to complete college. My analyses provide partial support for the racialized incorporation of Latinos, highlighting the importance of considering race-related mechanisms to study the social mobility of Latinos.

description: In this paper, we solve the problem of giving a gauge-theoretic description of the natural Dirac structure on a Lie Group which plays a prominent role in the theory of D- branes for the Wess-Zumino-Witten model as well as the theory of quasi-Hamiltonian spaces. We describe the structure as an infinite-dimensional reduction of the space of connections over the circle. Our insight is that the formal Poisson structure on the space of connections is not an actual Poisson structure, but is itself a Dirac structure, due to the fact that it is defined by an unbounded operator. We also develop general tools for reducing Courant algebroids and morphisms between them, allowing us to give a precise correspondence between Hamiltonian loop group spaces and quasi- Hamiltonian spaces.

description: The behavior of mobile devices is highly non deterministic and barely predictable due to the interaction of the user with its applications. In consequence, analyzing the correctness of applications running on a smartphone involves dealing with the complexity of its environment. In this paper, we propose the use of model-based testing to describe the potential behaviors of users interacting with mobile applications. These behaviors are modeled by composing specially-designed state machines. These composed state machines can be exhaustively explored using a model checking tool to automatically generate all possible user interactions. Each generated trace model checker can be interpreted as a test case to drive a runtime analysis of actual applications. We have implemented a tool that follows the proposed methodology to analyze Android devices using the model checker Spin as the exhaustive generator of test cases.

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: Model-based testing (MBT) is a well-known technology, which allows for automatic test case generation, execution and evaluation. To test non-functional properties, a number of test MBT frameworks have been developed to test systems with real-time, continuous behaviour, symbolic data and quantitative system aspects. Notably, a lot of these frameworks are based on Tretmans' classical input/output conformance (ioco) framework. However, a model-based test theory handling probabilistic behaviour does not exist yet. Probability plays a role in many different systems: unreliable communication channels, randomized algorithms and communication protocols, service level agreements pinning down up-time percentages, etc. Therefore, a probabilistic test theory is of great practical importance. We present the ingredients for a probabilistic variant of ioco and define the πoco relation, show that it conservatively extends ioco and define the concepts of test case, execution and evaluation.

description: There is an increasing level of interest in open-endedness in the recent literature of Artificial Life and Artificial Intelligence. We previously proposed the cardinality leap of possibility spaces as a promising mechanism to facilitate open-endedness in artificial evolutionary systems, and demonstrated its effectiveness using Hash Chemistry, an artificial chemistry model that used a hash function as a universal fitness evaluator. However, the spatial nature of Hash Chemistry came with extensive computational costs involved in its simulation, and the particle density limit imposed to prevent explosion of computational costs prevented unbounded growth in complexity of higher-order entities. To address these limitations, here we propose a simpler non-spatial variant of Hash Chemistry in which spatial proximity of particles are represented explicitly in the form of multisets. This model modification achieved a significant reduction of computational costs in simulating the model. Results of numerical simulations showed much more significant unbounded growth in both maximal and average sizes of replicating higher-order entities than the original model, demonstrating the effectiveness of this non-spatial model as a minimalistic example of open-ended evolutionary systems.

description: In this paper we present a global fit of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) dimension six operators relevant to the top quark sector to currently available data. Experimental measurements include parton-level top-pair and single top production from the LHC and the Tevatron. Higher order QCD corrections are modelled using differential and global K-factors, and we use novel fast-fitting techniques developed in the context of Monte Carlo event generator tuning to perform the fit. This allows us to provide new, fully correlated and model-independent bounds on new physics effects in the top sector from the most current direct hadron-collider measurements in light of the involved theoretical and experimental systematics. As a by-product, our analysis constitutes a proof-of-principle that fast fitting of theory to data is possible in the top quark sector, and paves the way for a more detailed analysis including top quark decays, detector corrections and precision observables.

Diversity of the Pacific-Japan pattern and its influences on Northwest Pacific tropical cyclone activity
Creators: name: Liu, Wenjing
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The Pacific-Japan (PJ) pattern features a meridional dipole pattern of atmospheric circulation between the tropical and midlatitude Northwest Pacific. Using observations and large-ensemble atmospheric simulations, this thesis shows that the PJ pattern has experienced distinct changes in its property and forcing mechanism from the period 1976-1988 to 1991-2010, with the source of forcing shifting from the tropical Indian Ocean to the tropical western-central Pacific Ocean. These changes are tied to changes in the characteristics of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), i.e., shifting from a combination of various types of ENSO to the dominance of central-Pacific ENSO, leading to reduced and increased sea surface temperature variance respectively in the abovementioned two regions. Further analysis suggests that the PJ pattern of 1976-1988 in observations may reflect a choice of nature out of two options. Lastly, the thesis shows that different types of PJ pattern affect Northwest Pacific tropical cyclones differently, particularly their genesis.

description: We investigate anomalous spin and orbital Hall phenomena in antiferromagnetic (AF) materials via orbital pumping experiments. Conducting spin and orbital pumping experiments on YIG/Pt/Ir20Mn80 heterostructures, we unexpectedly observe strong spin and orbital anomalous signals in an out-of-plane configuration. We report a sevenfold increase in the signal of the anomalous inverse orbital Hall effect (AIOHE) compared to conventional effects. Our study suggests expanding the Orbital Hall angle (θ_OH) to a rank 3 tensor, akin to the Spin Hall angle (θ_SH), to explain AIOHE. This work pioneers converting spin-orbital currents into charge current, advancing the spin-orbitronics domain in AF materials.

description: We propose a novel reflection color model consisting of body essence and (mixed) neuter, and present an effective method for separating dichromatic reflection components using a single image. Body essence is an entity invariant to interface reflection, and has two degrees of freedom unlike hue and maximum chromaticity. As a result, the proposed method is insensitive to noise and proper for colors around CMY (cyan, magenta, and yellow) as well as RGB (red, green, and blue), contrary to the maximum chromaticity-based methods. Interface reflection is separated by using a Gaussian function, which removes a critical thresholding problem. Furthermore, the method does not require any region segmentation. Experimental results show the efficacy of the proposed model and method.

FROM SHOCK WORKERS TO HEROINES: INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY IN THE STALINIST PRESS, 1930-1940
Creators: name: Smith, Logan Mae

Year: 2020

description: Interrogating the country’s two main newspapers, Pravda and Izvestiia, my thesis examines how the Soviet press between 1930 and 1940 represented International Women’s Day, the major holiday celebrating women.  Curating a certain idea of what roles women should play in society, these portrayals of women changed over time as the “Stalin Revolution” of industrialization and collectivization fundamentally altered the socioeconomic order.  I present three arguments: 1) from 1930 to 1935, the Soviet press presented women as workers dedicated to building socialism; 2) between 1936 and 1940, the papers depicted women as “heroines” committed to their roles as both workers and mothers; and 3) the press used international political threats (especially fascism) to compare the superior status of Soviet women to their oppressed female counterparts in capitalist countries.

"An Oasis of Free Thought" in Prague: "Problems of Peace and Socialism" and the End of the Thaw, 1968-1969
Creators: name: Kapinos, Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This thesis investigates Problems of Peace and Socialism, the journal of the international communist movement, and its coverage of the Prague Spring and its immediate aftermath. Unlike the Moscow-based journal Kommunist, the journal’s location in Prague and the relatively open-minded attitudes of its overseers allowed for a surprisingly sympathetic portrayal of the reforms. Moscow reasserted control over the journal after the August invasion, after which PPS joined Kommunist in condemning the reforms and calling for renewed fidelity to socialist internationalism. In addition to the journal’s role as a training ground for young Soviet thinkers who later advised M. S. Gorbachev in the 1980s, PPS’s coverage of the Prague Spring provides insight into the varying ways the Thaw unfolded across Eastern Europe before it ultimately ended with the invasion of Czechoslovakia, and suggests ways in which events in Czechoslovakia in 1968 influenced Soviet politics and society.

description: Interacting systems are increasingly common. Many examples pervade our everyday lives: automobiles, aircraft, defense systems, telephone switching systems, financial systems, national governments, and so on. Closer to computer science, embedded systems and Systems of Systems are further examples of interacting systems. Common to all of these is that some "whole" is made up of constituent parts, and these parts interact with each other. By design, these interactions are intentional, but it is the unintended interactions that are problematic. The Systems of Systems literature uses the terms "constituent systems" and "constituents" to refer to systems that interact with each other. That practice is followed here. This paper presents a visual formalism, Swim Lane Event-Driven Petri Nets, that is proposed as a basis for Model-Based Testing (MBT) of interacting systems. In the absence of available tools, this model can only support the offline form of Model-Based Testing.

NLO QCD corrections to off-shell top-antitop production with leptonic decays in association with a Higgs boson at the LHC

description: We compute the hadronic production of top-antitop pairs in association with a Higgs boson at next-to-leading-order QCD, including the decay of the top and antitop quark into bottom quarks and leptons. Our computation is based on full leading and next-to-leading-order matrix elements for $e^+ ν_e μ^-\barν_μb \bar{b} H(j)$ and includes all non-resonant contributions, off-shell effects and interferences. Numerical results for the integrated cross section and several differential distributions are given for the LHC operating at 13 TeV using a fixed and a dynamical factorization and renormalization scale. The use of the dynamical instead of the fixed scale improves the perturbative stability in high-energy tails of most distributions, while the integrated cross section is hardly affected differing by only about one per cent and leading to the same K factor of 1.17.

EVALUATING DEFAULT MODE NETWORK RESTING-STATE  FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY AS A BIOMARKER OF TREATMENT RESPONSE TO MINDFULNESS-BASED COGNITIVE THERAPY FOR ANHEDONIA
Creators: name: Cernasov, Paul Michael

description: Anhedonia is a transdiagnostic symptom referring to impairments in motivation and pleasure. Depression and other anhedonic disorders are associated with aberrant function in the default mode network (DMN), the neural substrates of self-referential processing. Mindfulness practice has shown therapeutic value for mood impairments and alters DMN functioning. The current study examined whether DMN resting-state connectivity is a biomarker for treatment response to Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT, n=35), as compared to a novel psychosocial intervention (n=38), in a transdiagnostic sample of adults with clinically-significant anhedonia. Multiple regression and multilevel modeling were used to evaluate relations between connectivity and treatment effects. Anhedonia symptoms and DMN connectivity significantly decreased over time, equally across treatments. Contrary to predictions, baseline and changes in connectivity were unrelated to outcomes. Results showed DMN connectivity was neither a predictor nor mechanism of response to MBCT, but that attenuation of DMN connectivity may be a non-specific psychological treatment effect.
Wannier interpolation of the electron-phonon matrix elements in polar semiconductors: Polar-optical coupling in GaAs

description: We generalize the Wannier interpolation of the electron-phonon matrix elements to the case of polar-optical coupling in polar semiconductors. We verify our methodological developments against experiments, by calculating the widths of the electronic bands due to electron-phonon scattering in GaAs, the prototype polar semiconductor. The calculated widths are then used to estimate the broadenings of excitons at critical points in GaAs and the electron-phonon relaxation times of hot electrons. Our findings are in good agreement with available experimental data. Finally, we demonstrate that while the Fröhlich interaction is the dominant scattering process for electrons/holes close to the valley minima, in agreement with low-field transport results, at higher energies, the intervalley scattering dominates the relaxation dynamics of hot electrons or holes. The capability of interpolating the polar-optical coupling opens new perspectives in the calculation of optical absorption and transport properties in semiconductors and thermoelectrics.

description: In this diary study 24 participants were asked to use Google Now for 28 days, in order to learn about occurrences of negative affect caused by the use of personal data and possible factors influencing such an affect, especially situational factors and personal dispositions. The use of personal data by Google Now cards barely evoked negative affect at all. Personality, trust and situational factors proved to influence affective reactions of the participants.
Potential Errors and Test Assessment in Software Product Line Engineering

description: Software product lines (SPL) are a method for the development of variant-rich software systems. Compared to non-variable systems, testing SPLs is extensive due to an increasingly amount of possible products. Different approaches exist for testing SPLs, but there is less research for assessing the quality of these tests by means of error detection capability. Such test assessment is based on error injection into correct version of the system under test. However to our knowledge, potential errors in SPL engineering have never been systematically identified before. This article presents an overview over existing paradigms for specifying software product lines and the errors that can occur during the respective specification processes. For assessment of test quality, we leverage mutation testing techniques to SPL engineering and implement the identified errors as mutation operators. This allows us to run existing tests against defective products for the purpose of test assessment. From the results, we draw conclusions about the error-proneness of the surveyed SPL design paradigms and how quality of SPL tests can be improved.

Preferred Argument Structure in Azajo Dialect P’urhepecha
Creators: name: Bavol, Tristan Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This thesis tests the Azajo dialect of P’urhepecha for evidence of Preferred Argument Structure (PAS) as outlined by Du Bois (1987; 2003). This thesis examines three formulations of the proposal, namely the Strong PAS theory, which includes the proposed PAS constraints (ibid.) as well as a proposed universal ergative-patterning of discourse as seen in Du Bois (1987), the Weak PAS theory, which includes the PAS constraints but not the universal ergative-patterning of discourse, and a counter-proposal made by Everett (2009), in which an alternative explanation of humanness is advanced to explain the PAS phenomena. This thesis does not find evidence supporting the Strong PAS proposal, in that there is no evidence found supporting an ergative-patterning of discourse in Azajo P’urhepecha, but does find evidence supporting the Weak PAS proposal, in that each of the constraints posited by Du Bois is replicated in the Azajo P’urhepecha data. In comparing the accounts by Du Bois and Everett it was found that both grammatical role and humanness affect the PAS distribution, echoing results found in Huang (2012). Moreover, the results suggest that humanness in particular affects the role S, causing it to either pattern with A if S is human, or O if S is nonhuman, which appears to mirror the clustering of these roles in languages with split-ergativity. These findings suggest that careful analysis of the interaction of humanness and grammatical role may advance the field’s understanding of cross-linguistic typology of morphosyntactic alignment.
Extreme Fluctuations in Stochastic Network Coordination with Time Delays

description: We study the effects of uniform time delays on the extreme fluctuations in stochastic synchronization and coordination problems with linear couplings in complex networks. We obtain the average size of the fluctuations at the nodes from the behavior of the underlying modes of the network. We then obtain the scaling behavior of the extreme fluctuations with system size, as well as the distribution of the extremes on complex networks, and compare them to those on regular one-dimensional lattices. For large complex networks, when the delay is not too close to the critical one, fluctuations at the nodes effectively decouple, and the limit distributions converge to the Fisher-Tippett-Gumbel density. In contrast, fluctuations in low-dimensional spatial graphs are strongly correlated, and the limit distribution of the extremes is the Airy density. Finally, we also explore the effects of nonlinear couplings on the stability and on the extremes of the synchronization landscapes.

description: We study spontaneous photon decay into multiple photons triggered by strong non-linearities in a superconducting quantum simulator of the boundary sine-Gordon impurity model. Previously, spectroscopic signatures of photon-conversion were reported and evidenced as resonances in the many-body spectrum of these systems. Here, we report on the observation of multi-mode fluorescence of a small Josephson junction embedded in a high impedance superconducting transmission line. Measurement of the down-converted photons is achieved using state-of-the-art broadband parametric amplifiers. Photon triplet emission is explicitly demonstrated at a given frequency as the counterpart of inelastic photon decay at three-times the emission frequency. These results open exciting prospects for the burgeoning field of many-body quantum optics and offer a direct signature of the ultra-strong light-matter coupling.
