description: The examination of two 2010 Chandra ACIS exposures of the Circinus galaxy resulted in the discovery of two pulsators: CXO J141430.1-651621 and CXOU J141332.9-651756. We also detected 26-ks pulsations in CG X-1, consistently with previous measures. For ~40 other sources, we obtained limits on periodic modulations. In CXO J141430.1-651621, which is ~2 arcmin outside the Circinus galaxy, we detected signals at 6120(1) s and 64.2(5) ks. In the longest observation, the source showed a flux of ~1.1e-13 erg/cm^2/s (absorbed, 0.5-10 keV) and the spectrum could be described by a power-law with photon index ~1.4. From archival observations, we found that the luminosity is variable by ~50 per cent on time-scales of weeks-years. The two periodicities pin down CXO J141430.1-651621 as a cataclysmic variable of the intermediate polar subtype. The period of CXOU J141332.9-651756 is 6378(3) s. It is located inside the Circinus galaxy, but the low absorption indicates a Galactic foreground object. The flux was ~5e-14 erg/cm^2/s in the Chandra observations and showed ~50 per cent variations on weekly/yearly scales; the spectrum is well fit by a power law ~0.9. These characteristics and the large modulation suggest that CXOU J141332.9-651756 is a magnetic cataclysmic variable, probably a polar. For CG X-1, we show that if the source is in the Circinus galaxy, its properties are consistent with a Wolf-Rayet plus black hole binary. We consider the implications of this for ultraluminous X-ray sources and the prospects of Advanced LIGO and Virgo. In particular, from the current sample of WR-BH systems we estimate an upper limit to the detection rate of stellar BH-BH mergers of ~16 events per yr.

description: Carfilzomib is a prescription injectable drug approved for use by the FDA as an antineoplastic agent, part of a drug class of medications known as proteasome inhibitors, and used to stop and slow the growth and progression of cancer cells within the body. The drug is approved as an agent to treat multiple myeloma. It is provided as a single-use vial that contains 60 mg of carfilzomib as a sterile, white to off-white lyophilized cake or powder. Intra-lot and inter-lot variability in the spectra of carfilzomib vials was detected in the Drug Quality Study (DQS) using Fourier transform near-infrared spectrometry (FTNIR). One of 12 vials of lot 1143966 manufactured for Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. appeared 4.7 multidimensional standard deviations (SDs) from the other 11 vials in a 3-D space formed by the first 3 principal components, which captured 81% of the total spectral variation. Spectra of 168 vials from 18 lots in the spectral library formed two groups in the 3-D space formed by the first 3 principal components. One group contained 155 vials and the other group contained 13 vials. The 2 groups had different locations and scales using a subcluster detection test at p=0.02.

Explaining the Supreme Court's Federalism Decision-Making
Creators: name: Seskin, Victoria
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Changes in federalism that adjust the very foundation of our intergovernmental system certainly merit a closer look.  The fact that these changes do not necessarily come in the form of legislation makes them all the more important.  The federal judiciary’s power to change the balance of federalism by constitutional means is a formidable one; it can effect change from the very document upon which our government is founded.  The decisions that I plan to study have implications for future policy at both federal and state levels, most notably shaping the areas that should be governed by each.  In this thesis I investigate whether, over the last thirty years, there has been a growing trend toward the shifting of policy authority to the states under a policy instrument known as devolution.  Devolution can be generally defined as a “return [of] a certain level of discretion in program planning, design, and implementation to state and local governments; while also reducing certain federally imposed rules, regulations, and unfunded mandates for those governments.” (Cole, Hissong, and Arvidson 1999, 99)  The significance of judicial precedent in deciding future cases may very well mean that a trend towards devolution is likely to continue.  My hope is that the research in this study may lead to further examination not only of changes in the balance of power between state and federal bodies but also of their roots in the United States Supreme Court.

description: We discuss approximation of functions using deep neural nets. Given a function $f$ on a $d$-dimensional manifold $Γ\subset \mathbb{R}^m$, we construct a sparsely-connected depth-4 neural network and bound its error in approximating $f$. The size of the network depends on dimension and curvature of the manifold $Γ$, the complexity of $f$, in terms of its wavelet description, and only weakly on the ambient dimension $m$. Essentially, our network computes wavelet functions, which are computed from Rectified Linear Units (ReLU)

description: Current literature on the topics of immigration and entrepreneurship focuses on visa barriers, competitive advantages, and positive economic contributions of immigrants in the U.S. My thesis applies quantitative, qualitative, and longitudinal analyses to asses 1) U.S. higher education institutions’ ability to attract and retain highly skilled immigrants and 2) national startup formation capabilities. This thesis suggests that U.S. higher education institutions remain attractive to highly skilled immigrants in specific fields of study; findings also reveal Asia’s fast-growing startup formation capability, possibly leveraging immigrants’ strong indirect influence on entrepreneurial ecosystems as part of the reverse brain drain phenomenon in the global flow of entrepreneurial talent.

description: The progenitor problem of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is still unsolved. Most of these events are thought to be explosions of carbon-oxygen (CO) white dwarfs (WDs), but for many of the explosion scenarios, particularly those involving the externally triggered detonation of a sub-Chandrasekhar mass WD (sub-M Ch WD), there is also a possibility of having an oxygen-neon (ONe) WD as progenitor. We simulate detonations of ONe WDs and calculate synthetic observables from these models. The results are compared with detonations in CO WDs of similar mass and observational data of SNe Ia. We perform hydrodynamic explosion simulations of detonations in initially hydrostatic ONe WDs for a range of masses below the Chandrasekhar mass (M Ch), followed by detailed nucleosynthetic postprocessing with a 384-isotope nuclear reaction network. The results are used to calculate synthetic spectra and light curves, which are then compared with observations of SNe Ia. We also perform binary evolution calculations to determine the number of SNe Ia involving ONe WDs relative to the number of other promising progenitor channels. The ejecta structures of our simulated detonations in sub-M Ch ONe WDs are similar to those from CO WDs. There are, however, small systematic deviations in the mass fractions and the ejecta velocities. These lead to spectral features that are systematically less blueshifted. Nevertheless, the synthetic observables of our ONe WD explosions are similar to those obtained from CO models. Our binary evolution calculations show that a significant fraction (3-10%) of potential progenitor systems should contain an ONe WD. The comparison of our ONe models with our CO models of comparable mass (1.2 Msun) shows that the less blueshifted spectral features fit the observations better, although they are too bright for normal SNe Ia.

The Origin of Faint Tidal Features Around Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey
Creators: name: Hood, Callie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: We present a study of faint tidal features around galaxies in the REsolved Spectroscopy of a Local VolumE (RESOLVE) survey. Our main sample consists of 1027 galaxies of the RESOLVE survey that overlap with r-band images from the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) which reach a surface brightness limit of 27.9 mag arcsec[-2] for a 3σ detection of a 100 arcsec[2] feature. The images of each galaxy were masked, smoothed, and visually inspected for signs of tidal features such as streams or shells. We find that around 21[±2]% of the galaxies inspected in the DECaLS images demonstrate this faint substructure with data of this depth, setting a lower limit on the frequency of such features in this sample. We examine the relationship between the presence of tidal features, galaxy characteristics, and environment with several metrics including atomic-gas-to-stellar mass ratio, star-formation history, morphology, distance to nearest neighboring galaxy, and group mass. We find that galaxies with tidal features tend to be gas-rich (G/S > 0.1) and that the tidal features around gas-poor and gas-rich galaxies may have different origins reflected in different trends with star formation, morphology and local environment. We observe that gas-poor galaxies with tidal features have higher stellar masses, closer distances to their nearest neighbors (for neighbors in the same group), and reside in groups with fewer members at a fixed group halo mass when compared to the rest of the gas-poor sample, suggesting the gas-poor galaxies with tidal features may contain a high fraction of galaxies currently interacting or merger remnants. Gas-rich galaxies with tidal features also are closer to their nearest neighbors (for neighbors in the same group) than those without, but also show less bulged morphologies and elevated star formation, suggesting a mixture of tidal features from current interactions, gas accretion, or accretion of small companions below the survey limit.

description: We develop the conformal bootstrap program for six-dimensional conformal field theories with $(2,0)$ supersymmetry, focusing on the universal four-point function of stress tensor multiplets. We review the solution of the superconformal Ward identities and describe the superconformal block decomposition of this correlator. We apply numerical bootstrap techniques to derive bounds on OPE coefficients and scaling dimensions from the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity. We also derive analytic results for the large spin spectrum using the lightcone expansion of the crossing equation. Our principal result is strong evidence that the $A_1$ theory realizes the minimal allowed central charge $(c=25)$ for any interacting $(2,0)$ theory. This implies that the full stress tensor four-point function of the $A_1$ theory is the unique unitary solution to the crossing symmetry equation at $c=25$. For this theory, we estimate the scaling dimensions of the lightest unprotected operators appearing in the stress tensor operator product expansion. We also find rigorous upper bounds for dimensions and OPE coefficients for a general interacting $(2,0)$ theory of central charge $c$. For large $c$, our bounds appear to be saturated by the holographic predictions obtained from eleven-dimensional supergravity.

description: We consider the problem of solving TAP mean field equations by iteration for Ising model with coupling matrices that are drawn at random from general invariant ensembles. We develop an analysis of iterative algorithms using a dynamical functional approach that in the thermodynamic limit yields an effective dynamics of a single variable trajectory. Our main novel contribution is the expression for the implicit memory term of the dynamics for general invariant ensembles. By subtracting these terms, that depend on magnetizations at previous time steps, the implicit memory terms cancel making the iteration dependent on a Gaussian distributed field only. The TAP magnetizations are stable fixed points if an AT stability criterion is fulfilled. We illustrate our method explicitly for coupling matrices drawn from the random orthogonal ensemble.

description: We present basic atmospheric parameters ($T_{eff}$, $log g$, $v_{t}$ and [Fe/H]), rotation velocities and absolute radial velocities as well as luminosities, masses, ages and radii for 402 stars (including 11 single-lined spectroscopic binaries), mostly subgiants and giants. For 272 of them we present parameters for the first time. For another 53 stars we present estimates of $T_{eff}$ and $log g$ based on photometric calibrations. More than half objects were found to be subgiants, there is also a large group of giants and a few stars appeard to be dwarfs. The results show that the presented sample is composed of stars with masses ranging from 0.52 to $3.21 M_{\odot}$ of which 17 have masses $\geq$ $2.0 M_{\odot}$. The radii of stars studied in this paper range from 0.66 to $36.04 R_{\odot}$ with vast majority having radii between 2.0 and $4.0 R_{\odot}$. They are generally less metal abundant than the Sun with median [Fe/H]$=-0.07$. For 62 stars in common with other planet searches we found a very good agreement in obtained stellar atmospheric parameters. We also present basic properties of the complete list of 744 stars that form the PTPS evolved stars sample. We examined stellar masses for 1255 stars in five other planet searches and found some of them likely to be significantly overestimated. Applying our uniformly determined stellar masses we confirm the apparent increase of companions masses for evolved stars, and we explain it, as well as lack of close-in planets with limited effective radial velocity precision for those stars due to activity.

Associations between Facebook Use and Disordered Eating in College Women
Creators: name: Walker, Morgan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Introduction. Approximately 11-20% of college women in America are within the clinical range for disordered eating. College women are also vulnerable to engaging in fat talk. Today’s college students spend much of their time on social media networks such as Facebook. The present study examined associations between Facebook activity, disordered eating, and fat talk online. Method. College-aged women (N=117) completed an online survey assessing disordered eating,depression, anxiety, perfectionism, impulsivity, self-efficacy, physical appearance comparison, Facebook intensity, and fat talk behaviors online. Results. Depression and anxiety were significant predictors of disordered eating (β=.37, p<.01; β=.27, p<.05, respectively). Online physical appearance comparison was also a highly significant predictor of disordered eating (β=.56, p<.01) and fat talk (β = .35, p < .01). Facebook intensity was not a significant predictor of disordered eating behaviors (β=-.08) and fat talk online (β=.02).
Discussion. Our results indicate that maladaptive Facebook usage, in this case, online physical appearance comparison, is associated with disordered eating and online fat talk. Facebook could be used as a supplemental prevention tool to help establish a digital safety net for early intervention of disordered eating among individuals who may be in need of enhanced care.
Energy Access and Reforestation Efforts for Ultra-Poor Households in Southern Malawi
Creators: name: Lindegaard, Louise
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Investigations into energy access in Sub-Saharan Africa often focus on modern energy transitions and electrification projects. However, these studies fail to consider the household level differences in access to energy sources and lack of opportunity to transition to alternative modern fuels. This study uses household-level data to explore household level reforestation efforts as a strategy to improve access to energy sources and improve environmental resilience on a community level. Specifically: Are reforestation efforts in Southern Malawi clustered in space, and do the surrounding land use land cover change classifications or household characteristics influence these efforts? The study, are conducted in southern Malawi with ultra- poor households that receive social cash transfer payments. Therefore, the focus of this study is on the most vulnerable, lowest income households in the community. It is expected that households with limited surrounding forest cover, and those who have received information on agroforestry or sustainable practices would be most likely to participate in reforestation efforts in the form of tree planting. There is observable spatial clustering of village clusters that have been provided information on agroforestry or sustainable practices and household-level tree planting efforts in village clusters, but the two are not found to be spatially correlated. We find that the total land owned by individual households is strongly correlated with tree planting efforts, especially in areas where wood is not primarily collected from plantations. Contrary to the expected result, reforestation efforts are not found to be linked to a current lack of access to energy sources, but are linked to land ownership. This study concludes that participation in un- aided reforestation efforts in southern Malawi may not be a mechanism for households to reduce vulnerability, but are a result of household characteristics like land ownership that enable the ability to plant trees. This paper suggests that promotion efforts should consider other factors that are associated with the decision to reforest to be most effective in promoting sustainable practice.

description: We present the stellar population analysis of a sample of 12 dwarf elliptical galaxies, observed with the SAURON integral field unit, using the full-spectrum fitting method. We show that star formation histories (SFHs) resolved into two populations can be recovered even within a limited wavelength range, provided that high S/N data is used. We confirm that dEs have had complex SFHs, with star formation extending to (more) recent epochs: for the majority of our galaxies star formation activity was either still strong a few ($\lesssim$ 5) Gyr ago or they experienced a secondary burst of star formation roughly at that time. This latter possibility is in agreement with the proposed dE formation scenario where tidal harassment drives the gas remaining in their progenitors inwards and induces a star formation episode. For one of our field galaxies, ID0918, we find a correlation between its stellar population and kinematic properties, pointing to a possible merger origin of its kinematically-decoupled core. One of our cluster objects, VCC1431, appears to be composed exclusively of an old population ($\gtrsim$ 10-12 Gyr). Combining this with our earlier dynamical results, we conclude that the galaxy was either ram-pressure stripped early on in its evolution in a group environment and subsequently tidally heated, or that it evolved in situ in the cluster's central parts, compact enough to avoid tidal disruption. These are only two of the examples illustrating the SFH richness of these objects confirmed with our data.

This increase arguably began in the 1960’s when the Nixon administration oversaw the beginning of the war on drugs in America. The U.S. now has one of the highest rates of incarceration amongst industrialized nations. The increase in incarceration has not impacted all groups of society equally. Citizens who have been incarcerated on drug charges have disproportionately been African American or other racial minorities, even though many studies have concluded that drug use is fairly equal amongst racial groups. In order to remedy this situation it is essential to first understand what causes and has caused rising incarceration rates.
In this research I explore gubernatorial rhetoric as a potential explanation for the epidemic of mass incarceration in the United States. Using SAS® Enterprise Content Categorization, SAS® Text Miner, and SAS® Contextual Analysis I gathered data from the state of the state speeches of governors from all 50 states. I find that gubernatorial rhetoric that is tough on crime corresponds strongly and consistently to an increase in the incarceration rate in the states.
The political phenomenon that I am trying to understand is how state government employees are affected by the tone that the chief executive of a state uses when discussing crime, and whether the actions of these state employees subsequently lead to higher rates of incarceration. The governor is the top government official in charge of employees of a state, so when this official addresses the state the employees may take the governor’s message as an order for how they should do their jobs. While many political factors may affect legislation and its enforcement, a governor has the ability to set the tone of a state when it comes to policy issues such as crime.

Magnetoreception Abilities in Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles

description: Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) complete extensive, open-ocean migrations
around the North Atlantic subtropical gyre current system over the course of many years.
Evidence suggests that magnetoreception, or the ability to detect the Earth’s magnetic field,
plays a role in their ability to navigate large, open areas lacking obvious cues. One possibility is
that sea turtles use geographically predictable differences in the Earth’s magnetic field in order
to guide themselves. In order to exploit these geographical differences, turtles must be able to
monitor changes in the ambient magnetic field. Two experimental methods were used to assess
how juvenile sea turtles react to a changing magnetic field. The first, an orientation experiment,
was designed to test whether juvenile loggerhead sea turtles can detect and respond to
changes in the inclination (angle at which the field intersects the Earth’s surface) and intensity
(strength of the field) in a simulated environment. The second, an activity experiment, was
performed to develop a laboratory-based behavioral assay to quantify changes in the activity
level of juvenile sea turtles when exposed to a rapidly-changing magnetic field. This information
could be valuable to future studies addressing the mechanisms underlying magnetoreception in
migratory animals. In both experiments, a similar approach was taken in which juvenile turtles
were placed into an aquatic arena with a changing magnetic field. For the orientation
investigation, the field changed in accordance with the turtle’s own movement and an
orientation vector was calculated. For the activity investigation, the field changed in a
predetermined manner and activity was quantified by comparing the number of flipper strokes
in the absence or presence of the change. Orientation trial results were inconclusive in that
animals did not respond to the applied magnetic fields, unlike the animals in previous
experiments. Activity trials failed to demonstrate that turtles have an activity response to a
changing magnetic field. Further research into how juvenile loggerhead sea turtles respond to
changes in a magnetic field are needed, including studies that examine how responses vary
with age, nest location, and how their behavior compares with that of other species. Results of
this and similar studies could help inform future conservation efforts for similar vulnerable,
migratory species.

description: Reconstructing a signal from squared linear (rank-one quadratic) measurements is a challenging problem with important applications in optics and imaging, where it is known as phase retrieval. This paper proposes two new phase retrieval algorithms based on non-convex quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) formulations, and a recently proposed approximation technique dubbed feasible point pursuit (FPP). The first is designed for uniformly distributed bounded measurement errors, such as those arising from high-rate quantization (B-FPP). The second is designed for Gaussian measurement errors, using a least squares criterion (LS-FPP). Their performance is measured against state-of-the-art algorithms and the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB), which is also derived here. Simulations show that LS-FPP outperforms the state-of-art and operates close to the CRB. Compact CRB expressions, properties, and insights are obtained by explicitly computing the CRB in various special cases -- including when the signal of interest admits a sparse parametrization, using harmonic retrieval as an example.

description: "KPipe" is a proposed experiment which will study muon neutrino disappearance for a sensitive test of the $Δm^2\sim1 \mathrm{eV}^2$ anomalies, possibly indicative of one or more sterile neutrinos. The experiment is to be located at the J-PARC Materials and Life Science Facility's spallation neutron source, which represents the world's most intense source of charged kaon decay-at-rest monoenergetic (236 MeV) muon neutrinos. The detector vessel, designed to measure the charged current interactions of these neutrinos, will be 3 m in diameter and 120 m long, extending radially at a distance of 32 m to 152 m from the source. This design allows a sensitive search for $ν_μ$ disappearance associated with currently favored light sterile neutrino models and features the ability to reconstruct the neutrino oscillation wave within a single, extended detector. The required detector design, technology, and costs are modest. The KPipe measurements will be robust since they depend on a known energy neutrino source with low expected backgrounds. Further, since the measurements rely only on the measured rate of detected events as a function of distance, with no required knowledge of the initial flux and neutrino interaction cross section, the results will be largely free of systematic errors. The experimental sensitivity to oscillations, based on a shape-only analysis of the $L/E$ distribution, will extend an order of magnitude beyond present experimental limits in the relevant high-$Δm^2$ parameter space.
