description: The Higgs portal to scalar Dark Matter is considered in the context of non-linearly realised electroweak symmetry breaking. We determine the dominant interactions of gauge bosons and the physical Higgs particle $h$ to a scalar singlet dark matter candidate. Phenomenological consequences are also studied in detail, including the possibility of distinguishing this scenario from the standard Higgs portal in which the electroweak symmetry breaking is linearly realised. Two features of significant impact are: i) the connection between the electroweak scale $v$ and the Higgs particle departs from the $(v+h)$ functional dependence, as the Higgs field is not necessarily an exact electroweak doublet; ii) the presence of specific couplings that arise at different order in the non-linear and in the linear expansions. These facts deeply affect the dark matter relic abundance, as well as the expected signals in direct and indirect searches and collider phenomenology, where Dark Matter production rates are enhanced with respect to the standard portal.

Year: 2014

description: Early childhood is a critical period of growth and development. This paper explores the importance of adequate nutrition and the federal nutrition programs in supporting this growth and development, especially for vulnerable children. More specifically, the paper is divided into sections starting with an overview of the stages of children’s physical and cognitive development and the importance of nutrition to these stages. This will be followed by the current state of young children’s dietary patterns and how these patterns might influence cognitive development. Finally, the paper will provide details on how the federal food programs such as the Child and Adult Care Food Program and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children can play a vital role in improving dietary patterns and cognitive outcomes for the nation’s most vulnerable children.

description: The social fabric of our country has changed considerably over the last decade. In particular, the restructuring of responsibilities has required local municipalities and community organizations to take on major roles: promoting community sustainability, strengthening social services, ensuring adequate housing, celebrating local heritage, integrating minority groups, drafting new policies, and more. As communities struggle to meet these challenges, they have sought the advice and knowledge of university-based researchers. We can see this trend across the country.

description: Neutrino mass generation through the Higgs mechanism not only suggests the need to reconsider the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking from a new perspective, but also provides a new theoretically consistent and experimentally viable paradigm. We illustrate this by describing the main features of the electroweak symmetry breaking sector of the simplest type-II seesaw model with spontaneous breaking of lepton number. After reviewing the relevant "theoretical" and astrophysical restrictions on the Higgs sector, we perform an analysis of the sensitivities of Higgs boson searches at the ongoing ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC, including not only the new contributions to the decay channels present in the Standard Model (SM) but also genuinely non-SM Higgs boson decays, such as "invisible" Higgs boson decays to majorons. We find sensitivities that are likely to be reached at the upcoming Run of the experiments.

Differences in the Presentation of Anorexia Nervosa between Males and Females
Creators: name: Barnes, Justin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious psychiatric illness with an estimated lifetime prevalence of 0.3% in males and 0.9% in females. AN has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder—10-12 times greater than the general population, and approximately 20% of those with AN commit suicide. Unfortunately, most studies related to AN and other eating disorders (ED’s) have focused on females, leaving a relative scarcity of literature related to the presentation of AN among males. A complete understanding of AN’s signs and symptoms in both males and females is required for reliable detection in all individuals, as diagnostic bias favoring typical presentations of AN among females may contribute to under-detection, late detection, or improper treatment for males with AN. This review summarizes the state of the literature on differences in the presentation of AN between males and females in order to improve detection of AN in all individuals as well as guide future research investigating the efficacy and appropriateness of treatment methods in both females and males.

description: We present a holographic model of a topological Weyl semimetal. A key ingredient is a time-reversal breaking parameter and a mass deformation. Upon varying the ratio of mass to time-reversal breaking parameter the model undergoes a quantum phase transition from a topologically nontrivial semimetal to a trivial one. The topological nontrivial semimetal is characterised by the presence of an anomalous Hall effect. The results can be interpreted in terms of the holographic renormalization group (RG) flow leading to restoration of time-reversal at the end point of the RG flow in the trivial phase.

description: The purpose of this research is to explore how extreme social upheaval (the Covid-19 pandemic) influences support for upending democratic norms and civil liberties. Over the past year, the Covid-19 pandemic has severely disrupted the global status quo; economies have collapsed, unemployment has skyrocketed to previously unseen levels, communities are strained, and there is an overwhelming sense of fear and threat. Debate has exploded over the ability of current medical and financial systems to withstand and protect the American people from Covid-19. Amongst this uncertainty and fear, there is a distinct potential for a rise in authoritarianism and the dismantling of democratic norms and institutions. The current study developed a theoretical model to predict shifts towards authoritarianism during crises like the Covid-19 pandemic or social unrest. This study is a part of a larger data set.

Increasing the access and effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy for North Carolina’s migrant and seasonal agricultural workers
Creators: name: Price, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Registered Dietitians (RDs) are health care professionals who partner with the medical care team to provide nutrition information tailored to patients’ health conditions and lifestyle. This customized medical nutrition therapy (MNT) has strong evidence supporting its ability to improve health outcomes and cost effectiveness of care for individuals with lipid metabolism disorders, weight management needs, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and a variety of other conditions (Handu et al., 2015). The effects of MNT can be seen within months and measurements such as weight loss and lowered hemoglobin A1c demonstrate that the benefits of MNT can be maintained with continued therapy past 12 months (Handu et al., 2015). In addition to improving disease outcomes, nutrition counseling is also an important part of preventative care at all ages.MNT is not a “one-size-fits-all” treatment. Compared with the MNT approach used for patients with a typical American diet, patient populations with significantly different cultures shaping their relationship with food may be best served by significantly different approaches when preparing and delivering MNT (Buffington & Drago, n.d.). This policy brief asserts that migrant and seasonal agricultural workers (MSAW) are one such population that can be most effectively served through MNT services tailored to their specific needs and strengths.

The impact of the SZ effect on cm-wavelength (1-30 GHz) observation of galaxy cluster radio relics

description: (Abridged) Radio relics in galaxy clusters are believed to be associated with powerful shock fronts that originate during cluster mergers, and are a testbed for the acceleration of relativistic particles in the intracluster medium. Recently, radio relic observations have pushed into the cm-wavelength domain (1-30 GHz) where a break from the standard synchrotron power-law spectrum has been found, most noticeably in the famous 'Sausage' relic. In this paper, we point to an important effect that has been ignored or considered insignificant while interpreting these new high-frequency radio data, namely the contamination due to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect that changes the observed synchrotron flux. Even though the radio relics reside in the cluster outskirts, the shock-driven pressure boost increases the SZ signal locally by roughly an order of magnitude. The resulting flux contamination for some well-known relics are non-negligible already at 10 GHz, and at 30 GHz the observed synchrotron fluxes can be diminished by a factor of several from their true values. Interferometric observations are not immune to this contamination, since the change in the SZ signal occurs roughly at the same length scale as the synchrotron emission, although there the flux loss is less severe than single-dish observations. We present a simple analytical approximation for the synchrotron-to-SZ flux ratio, based on a theoretical radio relic model that connects the non-thermal emission to the thermal gas properties, and show that by measuring this ratio one can potentially estimate the relic magnetic fields or the particle acceleration efficiency.

Phonon-mediated generation of quantum correlations between quantum dot qubits
Creators: name: Krzywda, Jan
name: Roszak, Katarzyna
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the generation of quantum correlations between two excitonic quantum dot qubits due to their interaction with the same phonon environment. Such generation results from the fact that during the pure dephasing process at finite temperatures, each exciton becomes entangled with the phonon environment. We find that for a wide range of temperatures quantum correlations are created due to the interaction. The temperature-dependence of the amount of correlations created displays a trade-off type behaviour; for small temperatures the phonon-induced distrubance of the qubit states is too small to lead to a distinct change of the two-qubit state, hence, the amount of created correlations is small, while for large temperatures the pure dephasing is not accompanied by the creation of entanglement between the qubits and the environment, so the environment cannot mediate qubit-qubit quantum correlations.

Fresh Food RX: A Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program for Durham County
Creators: name: Karel, Billy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Fresh Food Rx gives healthcare providers and their patients a powerful new tool to make healthy food an explicit part of preventive healthcare – as explicit as prescription medications. In our vision, prescriptions for good nutrition should be as ubiquitous and specific as prescriptions for medication to help more patients avoid or delay chronic illness and its complications. This vision also includes affordable places to buy healthy staple foods like fruits and vegetables in every neighborhood in Durham. Fresh Food Rx connects the dots, giving MDs, NPs, RDs, and other clinicians a powerful tool to convey the importance of fruits and vegetables to patients, while also creating systems to make them more affordable in the short term and more readily available over the medium and long term.

description: The measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon exhibits a long standing discrepancy compared to the Standard model prediction. In this paper, we concentrate on this issue in the framework of $R$-parity violating Minimal supersymmetric standard model. Such a scenario provides substantial contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon while satisfying constraints from low energy experimental observables as well as neutrino mass. In addition, we point out that the implication of such operators satisfying muon $g-2$ are immense from the perspective of the LHC experiment, leading to a spectacular four muon final state. We propose an analysis in this particular channel which might help to settle the debate of R-parity violation as a probable explanation for $(g-2)_μ$.

description: All quantum optomechanics experiments to date operate at cryogenic temperatures, imposing severe technical challenges and fundamental constraints. Here we present a novel design of on-chip mechanical resonators which exhibit fundamental modes with frequencies $f$ and mechanical quality factors $Q_\mathrm{m}$ sufficient to enter the optomechanical quantum regime at room temperature. We overcome previous limitations by designing ultrathin, high-stress silicon nitride (Si$_3$N$_4$) membranes, with tensile stress in the resonators' clamps close to the ultimate yield strength of the material. By patterning a photonic crystal on the SiN membranes, we observe reflectivities greater than 99%. These on-chip resonators have remarkably low mechanical dissipation, with $Q_\mathrm{m}$$\sim$$10^8$, while at the same time exhibiting large reflectivities. This makes them a unique platform for experiments towards the observation of massive quantum behavior at room temperature.
Self-face and emotional faces – are they alike?
Creators: name: Zochowska, Anna
name: Nowicka, Maria
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: The image of one’s own face is an exceptional visual stimulus that is strongly tied to the sense of self-awareness. Previous research focused on the extreme familiarity of the self-face as a driving factor of the prioritized processing of this stimulus. However, the self-face differs from other faces not only in respect of its familiarity but also in respect of its subjective emotional significance and its saliency. In the current EEG study, we aimed at elucidating the role of the emotional load factor in preferential processing of the self-face. The self-face, faces with a positive (i.e. happy) and a negative (i.e. fearful) facial expression as well as neutral faces (control condition) were presented to 30 participants. Happy faces were introduced in this experiment based on the well-documented self-positivity bias. In turn, fearful faces were used as an experimental condition as they, similarly to self-faces, are characterised by extreme saliency. Participants’ task was a simple detection of faces. Two ERP components (P3, LPP) were analysed. The results clearly indicated that the processing of the self-face was associated with significantly increased amplitudes of both ERP components in comparison to all other faces: fearful, happy, and neutral. Permutation test confirmed differences between the self-face and all three types of other faces for numerous electrode sites and in broad time windows. Representational similarity analysis, in turn, revealed distinct processing of the self-face and did not provide any evidence in favour of similarities between the self-face and emotional (either negative or positive) faces. These findings strongly suggest that electrophysiological correlates of the self-face processing do not resemble those of emotional faces, thus implying that prioritized self-referential processing is driven by subjective relevance of one’s own face.

The holographic wave functions for an arbitrary number of constituents, recently derived by us, give results quite close to known parametrizations that appear in the literature.
A Novel Treatment Approach For Pediatric Eosinophilic Esophagitis: 2 Food Elimination Diet In Combination With Swallowed Steroids
Creators: name: Englander, Lisa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a serious, chronic disorder that has been increasing in incidence and prevalence, and without adequate treatment, is associated with substantial morbidity. Given the lack of consensus on best practice for treating EoE, the invasiveness and potential side effects of current treatments, as well as the likelihood of recurrence of symptoms after discontinuing treatment, we propose a pilot study to explore a novel treatment approach for EoE in the pediatric population. No studies have been published on the efficacy of combining the 2 most common maintenance treatments, swallowed steroids and an elimination diet. In a cohort study with 38 newly diagnosed patients, this treatment protocol combines and simplifies steroid and diet therapy. Patients will be treated on dedicated clinic days by the pediatric gastroenterologist and dietitian in Wake Forest Baptist’s pediatric GI program designed to provide continuity of care and ongoing education and support to our patients and families of patients living with allergic digestive disorders. The therapy initially combines swallowed steroids and a 2-food elimination diet (dairy and soy) for 3 months to relieve symptoms, then alternates treatment with only 2- food elimination for 3 months, then only steroids for 3 months. Patients will undergo endoscopies 3 times throughout treatment after diagnosis to monitor resolution of symptoms over 9 months. We hypothesize that a study on this approach will demonstrate resolution of clinical symptoms, histological improvement, strong adherence to treatment, and increased quality of life while decreasing the potential for harmful side effects of treatments and the burden of an extensive elimination diet.

description: The distances of Fast Radio Burst (FRB) sources are currently unknown. We show that the 21-cm absorption line of hydrogen can be used to infer the redshifts of FRB sources, and determine whether they are Galactic or extragalactic. We calculate a probability of $\sim 10\%$ for the host galaxy of an FRB to exhibit a 21-cm absorption feature of equivalent width $\gtrsim 10 ~\mathrm{km}~\mathrm{s}^{-1}$. Arecibo, along with several future radio observatories, should be capable of detecting such associated 21-cm absorption signals for strong bursts of $\gtrsim {\rm several}~\mathrm{Jy}$ peak flux densities.

description: Die jährlich weltweit, in großen Mengen produzierten lignocellulosischen Rohstoffe aus der Natur und der Landwirtschaft besitzen das Potenzial, fossile Rohstoffe zu ersetzen. Die Herausforderung besteht dabei im Aufschluss dieser Rohstoffe, um sie anschließend weiterzuverarbeiten. Hierbei hat sich in den letzten Jahren die mechanokatalytische partielle Depolymerisation als vielversprechend erwiesen. Mit Hilfe dieser Aufschlussmethode werden wasserlösliche Glycane als Wertprodukte gewonnen, welche weiter funktionalisiert werden können. In dieser Arbeit konnten durch die mechanokatalytische partielle Depolymerisation ausgehend von lignocellulosischen Rohstoffen und die anschließende Aminierung von Glycanen mit Ammoniak als Aminierungsreagenz funktionelle Glycane hergestellt werden. Der Einsatz in einem kommerziellen Epoxidharz zeigt zudem, dass die aminierten Glycane als Härter verwendet werden können und damit eine Alternative basierend auf nachwachsenden Rohstoffen darstellen.

description: Disorder induced melting, where the increase in positional entropy created by random pinning sites drives the order-disorder transition in a periodic solid, provides an alternate route to the more conventional thermal melting. Here, using real space imaging of the vortex lattice through scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we show that in the presence of weak pinning, the vortex lattice in a type II superconductor disorders through two distinct topological transitions. Across each transition, we separately identify metastable states formed through superheating of the low temperature state or supercooling of the high temperature state. Comparing crystals with different levels of pinning we conclude that the two-step melting is fundamentally associated with the presence of random pinning which generates topological defects in the ordered vortex lattice.

IceCube Constraints on Fast-Spinning Pulsars as High-Energy Neutrino Sources

description: Relativistic winds of fast-spinning pulsars have been proposed as a potential site for cosmic-ray acceleration from very high energies (VHE) to ultrahigh energies (UHE). We re-examine conditions for high-energy neutrino production, considering the interaction of accelerated particles with baryons of the expanding supernova ejecta and the radiation fields in the wind nebula. We make use of the current IceCube sensitivity in diffusive high-energy neutrino background, in order to constrain the parameter space of the most extreme neutron stars as sources of VHE and UHE cosmic rays. We demonstrate that the current non-observation of $10^{18}$ eV neutrinos put stringent constraints on the pulsar scenario. For a given model, birthrates, ejecta mass and acceleration efficiency of the magnetar sources can be constrained. When we assume a proton cosmic ray composition and spherical supernovae ejecta, we find that the IceCube limits almost exclude their significant contribution to the observed UHE cosmic-ray flux. Furthermore, we consider scenarios where a fraction of cosmic rays can escape from jet-like structures piercing the ejecta, without significant interactions. Such scenarios would enable the production of UHE cosmic rays and help remove the tension between their EeV neutrino production and the observational data.

description: Inherited metabolic disorders present great challenges for patients, families, and healthcare professionals. In amino acidopathies, treatment is for life and dietary management consists of attempting to provide nutrition for growth and development while keeping serum concentrations of potential toxins to a minimum. Medical nutrition therapy for inherited metabolic disorders requires attention to more than just protein, calories, and micronutrient recommendations, as will be seen in this case study.

Diet, Probiotics, and the Gut Microbiota: Targeting treatments to improve quality of life in patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS
Creators: name: Fruik, Angela

Year: 2018

description: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most commonly recognized gastrointestinal diagnosis worldwide. It affects roughly 11% of the population and has a large financial impact, as well as a significant impact on quality of life. This paper will review the clinical presentation of IBS-D, describe the proposed pathophysiology of the condition, and discuss current treatment modalities, questioning whether these treatments address the underlying cause of the disease and whether the course of treatment will improve quality of life in the patient. Finally, this paper will present recommendations for the best approach for IBS from a dietetics perspective.
Quantum deformations of D=4 Euclidean, Lorentz, Kleinian and quaternionic o^*(4) symmetries in unified o(4;C) setting

description: We employ new calculational technique and present complete list of classical $r$-matrices for $D=4$ complex homogeneous orthogonal Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(4;\mathbb{C})$, the rotational symmetry of four-dimensional complex space-time. Further applying reality conditions we obtain the classical $r$-matrices for all possible real forms of $\mathfrak{o}(4;\mathbb{C})$: Euclidean $\mathfrak{o}(4)$, Lorentz $\mathfrak{o}(3,1)$, Kleinian $\mathfrak{o}(2,2)$ and quaternionic $\mathfrak{o}^{\star}(4)$ Lie algebras. For $\mathfrak{o}(3,1)$ we get known four classical $D=4$ Lorentz $r$-matrices, but for other real Lie algebras (Euclidean, Kleinian, quaternionic) we provide new results and mention some applications.

Toxic stress and obesity: a review of underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms
Creators: name: Guy, Alexis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: An extremely significant but often-overlooked pathophysiological factor linked to obesity and changes in metabolic functioning in adulthood is childhood trauma. Research has gradually elucidated the role of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis and the associated glucocorticoid release in response to stressful stimuli. Yet there is still much that remains to be unraveled in how the stress response influences the development and maintenance of obesity. This scoping review proposes to map the neuroendocrine response to stress, describing what is known about the stress-induced activation of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis. Subsequent glucocorticoid feedback on this system and action on peripheral tissues will be examined. Leptin and ghrelin, hormonal signals from the periphery, and neuropeptide Y, a central neuropeptide, are also homeostatic regulators of the physiological response to stress. Further understanding of the many components of the stress response will facilitate practical applications in the realms of policy, public health, clinical nutrition, and preventative medicine.
