description: Despite a reduction in malnutrition in Peru over the past few decades, malnutrition remains prevalent in some areas of the country. Increasing infants’ and toddlers’ consumption of animal-source foods improves their growth and development, and is seen as a significant method of combating malnutrition. The Institute of Nutritional Research (IIN) based in Lima, Peru explored a method of reducing child malnutrition by addressing the consumption of animal-source foods in two districts in Northern Peru, Morrope and Incahuasi. Anthropologists conducted formative research in these areas to explore some of the underlying causes of malnutrition. Through this research, the IIN learned that some of the potential contributing factors to malnutrition are ethnotheories that the consistencies of animalsource foods are not appropriate for young children for fear of that they would cause choking or stomach problems (Bartolini et al 11). Researchers then carried out a pilot study to assess whether a manual food grinder that changes the consistency of animal-source foods has the potential to facilitate caregivers’ providing of more animal-source foods to their children ages 6 to 18 months. An overview of child malnutrition globally and in the region of Incahuasi, a discussion of the importance of animal-source foods in reducing malnutrition, and a summary of the methodology and preliminary results of the grinder household trials conducted in Incahuasi are discussed below.

description: Catalytic coherence transformations allow the otherwise impossible state transformations using only incoherent operations with the aid of an auxiliary system with finite coherence which is not being consumed in anyway. Here we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the deterministic and stochastic catalytic coherence transformations between pair of pure quantum states. In particular, we show that the simultaneous decrease of a family of Rényi entropies of the diagonal parts of the states under consideration are necessary and sufficient conditions for the deterministic catalytic coherence transformations. Similarly, for stochastic catalytic coherence transformations we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for achieving higher optimal probability of conversion. We, thus, completely characterize the coherence transformations amongst pure quantum states under incoherent operations. We give numerous examples to elaborate our results. We also explore the possibility of the same system acting as a catalyst for itself and find that indeed {\it self catalysis} is possible. Further, for the cases where no catalytic coherence transformation is possible we provide entanglement assisted coherence transformations and find the necessary and sufficient conditions for such transformations.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: A method is introduced which allows to measure normal-ordered moments of the displaced photon-number operator up to high orders. It is based on unbalanced homodyne correlation measurements, the local oscillator being replaced by a displaced dephased laser. The measured moments yield a simple approximation of the full quantum state, which is obtained without the need of photon-number resolution. Quantum properties of light are efficiently certified through the direct detection of normal-ordered observables, which is illustrated for a weakly squeezed vacuum and a single-photon-added thermal state.

Year: 2015

description: This paper considers the problem of heat transfer in a composite ceramic material where the structural elements are bonded to the matrix via a thin heat resistant adhesive layer. The layer has the form of a circular ring or close to it. Using an asymptotic approach, the interphase is modeled by an infinitesimal imperfect interface, preserving the main features of the temperature fields around the interphase, and allowing a significant simplification where FEM analysis is concerned. The nonlinear transmission conditions that accompany such an imperfect interface are evaluated, and their accuracy is verified by means of dedicated analytical examples as well as carefully designed FEM simulations. The interphases of various geometries are analysed, with an emphasis on the influence of the curvature of their boundaries on the accuracy of the evaluated conditions. Numerical results demonstrate the benefits of the approach and its limitations.
The Benefits of Breastfeeding and Reducing the Risk of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in the Preterm Infant

Year: 2014

description: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) was first described in 1965 and today is one of the most common life­‐threatening gastrointestinal problems associated with prematurity (Duthie & Lander, 2013). Necrotizing enterocolitis (Necrotizing-­causes tissue death, Enterocolitis­‐inflamed small intestine and colon (Seattle Children's Hospital Research Foundation, 2014)) is a condition characterized by ischemic necrosis of the intestinal mucosa which is associated with inflammation, increases in enteric gas forming organisms, and dissection of gas into the muscularis and portal venous system (Department of Pediatrics, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, USA, 1996). While the exact cause of the disease is unknown it is believed that the following factors appear to play a role: • The infant’s gastrointestinal tract is not mature enough to properly move food when the baby is fed, resulting in irritated and inflamed intestines. • Intestinal bacteria reproduce and the infant’s immune system is unable to protect the intestines from the bacteria, causing the intestines to become infected. The infant’s immature immune system overreacts to the infection, inflammation increases and may result in blister formation inside the intestines. • Blood flow to the infant’s intestines is poor; this may be due to bacteria within the intestines. Improper blood flow can damage the tissue and lead to tissue death. Dead tissue increases the risk of perforation, which can lead to intestinal leakage of stool and bacteria into the abdomen, causing infections (peritonitis) (Seattle Children's Hospital Research Foundation, 2014).

description: Adoption of rotational grazing or multi-species herbal leys, planting trees and integrating livestock into arable rotations can increase agricultural productivity and carbon storage on temperate ruminant livestock farms. However, farmers frequently have rational reasons for not adopting seemingly beneficial management practices. Here, we conduct semi-structured interviews with sheep and beef cattle farmers and industry representatives in England, to determine the advantages, disadvantages, and reasons for non-adoption of these four management practices. We find key reasons that farmers rationally do not adopt these practices include capital outlay, incompatibility with farming objectives, and the risk that desired benefits are not delivered.

description: We investigate magnetoresistance in spin valves involving CoPd-contacted carbon nanotubes. Both temperature and bias voltage dependence clearly indicate tunneling magnetoresistance as the origin. We show that this effect is significantly affected by the tunnel barrier strength, which appears to be one reason for the variation between devices previously detected in similar structures. Modeling the data by means of the scattering matrix approach, we find a non-trivial dependence of the magnetoresistance on the barrier strength. Furthermore, analysis of the spin precession observed in a nonlocal Hanle measurement yields a spin lifetime of $τ_s = 1.1\,$ns, a value comparable with those found in silicon- or graphene-based spin valve devices.

Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs at Local Health Departments in North Carolina: History, Successes, and Challenges of North Carolina’s Diabetes Education Recognition Program
Creators: name: Alexy, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Diabetes is a huge and costly epidemic in North Carolina. Effective treatment for diabetes includes Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME). North Carolina’s Diabetes Education Recognition Program (NCDERP), run by the state Division of Public Health, is an umbrella accreditation program that facilitates DSME programs at local health departments (LHDs). Using a literature review and data from NCDERP on costs, reach, and outcome, this paper considers the major challenges that NCDERP faces in being effective and sustainable. For each of these challenges, we suggest strategies to address them. NCDERP has a great deal of potential for improving management and costs of diabetes in North Carolina. More research is needed on its capacity, needs of the communities in which it operates, and perceived barriers among physicians and patients to using NCDERP sites.

description: Transitioning to more sustainable agricultural practices is a key goal in agroecology. Before practices are adopted, however, farmers must weigh a complex set of biophysical and socioeconomic tradeoffs. Tarping is a weed control practice gaining popularity in New England, but many of its biophysical impacts remain unclear to farmers. Here, we used participatory action research to engage in mutual learning with farmers around the tradeoffs of tarping for weed control. We collected quantitative biophysical data with a field study and qualitative data on biophysical and socioeconomic factors by interviewing farmers. We found tarping has a number of benefits, challenges, and uncertainties, though most farmers had positive overall perceptions of the practice. Many of our biophysical results matched farmers’ experiences, including that tarping dramatically heated soils, suppressed weeds, and increased crop yields. However, our mixed results for the effects of tarping on soil nitrate contrasted farmers’ perception that tarping increases soil nitrate availability. Engaging in participatory and mixed methods research was an effective approach to unveil complex tradeoffs around tarping and ensure our research was relevant to farmer interests. Future research on long-term effects of tarps will be valuable to inform the sustainability of this practice.

Best nutrition counseling practices for the treatment of anorexia nervosa: a delphi study

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Objective: To use Delphi methodology to evaluate the extent to which a panel of eating disorder dietitians concur on parameters related to nutrition counseling for anorexia nervosa (AN). Method: This study involved 21 eating disorder dietitians who: i) were certified registered dietitians (RDs), ii) had specialized in nutritional counseling for eating disorder patients for 5 years or more, and iii) had Internet access at home or work. Over a 10 week period, panelists completed 3 iterative questionnaires. The first questionnaire included 12 open-ended questions regarding nutrition counseling for patients with AN. Subsequent questionnaires contained items that emerged from a content analysis of responses to questions posed in the first questionnaire, and panelists were asked to rank their level of agreement with these items. Results: Consensus was reached for 47 (35.3%) of the 133 items included in the third questionnaire. Panelist comments suggest that some items that did not achieve consensus described techniques that are only appropriate for some patients, which was difficult to capture on the questionnaires. Consensus was also not shown for treatment approaches for which there is little evidence. Discussion: Nutritional intervention for AN has some shared features, but is also individualized. A stronger evidence-base for nutritional counseling interventions for AN would provide clearer guidance and facilitate greater consensus among RDs regarding how to best care for this patient population.

QED radiative corrections and many-body effects in atoms: vacuum polarization and binding energy shifts in alkali metals

description: We calculate vacuum polarization corrections to the binding energies in neutral alkali atoms Na through to the superheavy element E119. We employ the relativistic Hartree-Fock method to demonstrate the importance of relaxation of the electronic core and the correlation potential method to study the effects of second and higher orders of perturbation theory. These many-body effects are sizeable for all orbitals, though particularly important for orbitals with angular momentum quantum number l>0. The orders of magnitude enhancement for d waves produces shifts that, for Rb and the heavier elements, are larger than those for p waves and only an order of magnitude smaller than the s-wave shifts. The many-body enhancement mechanisms that operate for vacuum polarization apply also to the larger self-energy corrections.

A case study of child and adult care food program (CACFP) wellness grant implementation in North Carolina
Creators: name: Martin, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: The North Carolina Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) agency, run through the Nutrition Services Branch of the Division of Public Health applied for and received a USDA Child Care Wellness Grant in 2010. The grant was provided for in the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 and fully funded North Carolina’s multi-component nutrition education initiatives. A total of 148 centers and 68 sponsors received pass-through mini-grants to purchase equipment and educational materials related to nutrition and physical activity. Grant recipients were required to attend two trainings (Health Futures in the Kitchen and Build a Better Menu) that focused on healthy cooking skills and healthy menu creation, respectively. The CACFP agency also worked with the North Carolina Community College System to develop a 20-hour training on early childhood nutrition and physical activity and adapted an online childhood obesity prevention module to target parents and providers within the CACFP program. Some of these programs were implemented in ways that were generally similar to what other states had pursued through Federal grants. In a few cases, North Carolina could have used strategies from other states to address the barriers they encountered or improve upon their current and future initiatives to optimize the use of their funding. Few outcome or process evaluations are publicly available on child care interventions in North Carolina or other states, and there is no central hub for sharing program ideas, materials and evaluation findings. There is a need for recipients of large Federal grants to carefully evaluate their programs and make those findings public.

description: Play is an important component in the development of children from which they derive many social cues (e.g., learning to negotiate on fairness of the rule set or cheating). Develop motoric skills, creative thinking, cognitive (e.g., tactics) and emotional (e.g., dealing with winning or losing) skills as well as physical activity (Bento & Dias, 2017; Clements, 2004). As many of these benefits require some form of physical contact or gaming in a group, it is unsurprising that many, if not all, benefits are derived mostly from outdoor play. Hitron et al. (2018) even coin the term “outdoor play benefits” to address this group of benefits gained from outdoor play. However, over the previous years increasing sedentary lifestyles and decreasing amounts of outdoor play amongst children and adolescents have been observed. Decreasing levels of physical activity as well as decreasing exposure to outdoor benefits are some of the factors that negatively contribute to this sedentary lifestyle. In combating these challenges, several gaming categories have emerged. One of the more recent developments is that of pervasive gaming. To investigate the proposed solutions by researchers, we will perform a systematic review.

description: Specialization of agriculture in the Colombian Andes has increased smallholder vulnerability to climate change and global price fluctuations and has also affected the socio-economic and environmental conditions. Promoting sustainable agriculture in the region requires a holistic understanding of complex agroecosystems. This study identifies and analyzes the main challenges for agriculture and possibilities for agroecological transition of small-scale farms in Guachetá, Colombia. Using the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE), 10 elements of agroecology and core performance criteria were evaluated on seven farms. Several key actors were then interviewed, to triangulate data and understand current challenges and possible future pathways. It was found that drier climate and variations in rainfall patterns pose major challenges to current production systems. Limited possibilities for participation in land governance, lack of interest in agriculture among young people, and lack of access to markets hinder the development of sustainable agriculture. Current specialized practices in dairy and potato production are associated with reduced agricultural biodiversity and dependency on agrochemicals, leading to weak synergies and low profitability within agroecosystems. Implementation of agroecological principles and practices such as crop and income diversification and promoting joint action in agricultural development could help overcome sustainability issues in Guachetá.

Can the Intestinal Microbiota Play a Role in Eating Disorder Pathology and Treatment? A Review of the Literature
Creators: name: Sweeney, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The present review describes, evaluates, and synthesizes the existing literature on the relationship of intestinal microbiota to neurological and psychological processes, diet composition, feeding behavior, and eating disorders (EDs). Given the substantive evidence that (1) diet composition and feeding patterns impact the composition and diversity of the intestinal microbiota and (2) the intestinal microbiota impact cognitive and emotional functioning, it should perhaps come as no surprise that the first studies on ED patients’ microbiota reveal significant alterations in composition and diversity. Whether these alterations are a consequence of or contributor to ED pathology – or perhaps both – remains to be determined. Pending further research, clinicians can promote microbial diversity and SCFA production by the judicious use of multi-strain probiotics, functional foods, and complementary therapies. The not-unfounded hope is that such measures can, at the very least, help relieve some of the psychological and GI symptoms associated with EDs, thereby lessening the barriers to recovery.

All of our implementations aim to exploit the potential for data reuse that the algorithm offers. Our GPU implementations explore two different methods for achieving this, the first makes use of L1/Texture cache, the second uses shared memory. We discuss the usability of each of our implementations along with their behaviours. We measure performance in execution time, which is a critical factor for real-time systems, we also present results in terms of bandwidth (GB/s), compute (GFlop/s) and type conversions (GTc/s). We include a presentation of our results in terms of the sample rate which can be processed in real-time by a chosen platform, which more intuitively describes the expected performance in a signal processing setting. Our findings show that, for the GPUs considered, the performance of our polyphase filter when using lower precision input data is limited by type conversions rather than device bandwidth. We compare these results to an implementation on the Xeon Phi. We show that our Xeon Phi implementation has a performance that is 1.47x to 1.95x greater than our CPU implementation, however is not insufficient to compete with the performance of GPUs. We conclude with a comparison of our best performing code to two other implementations of the polyphase filter, showing that our implementation is faster in nearly all cases. This work forms part of the Astro-Accelerate project, a many-core accelerated real-time data processing library for digital signal processing of time-domain radio astronomy data.

Biliary Atresia: A Case Report

description: Biliary Atresia (BA) is characterized by a progressive obliteration of all, or part of, the extrahepatic biliary tree. It is the primary indication for pediatric liver transplantation, responsible for approximately 50% of all pediatric liver transplants. The resting energy expenditure of children living with BA is 30-50% higher than that of healthy children of the same age because children with BA must consume additional calories to promote liver regeneration. BA prevents bile from traveling from the liver into the intestine, where it is crucial for fat absorption. Bile insufficiency in the intestine results in malnutrition, malabsorption, and fat-soluble vitamin (ADEK) deficiencies. Sixty to 80% of children with end-stage liver disease exhibit moderate to severe malnutrition before liver transplantation. By examining a child living with BA hospitalized at UNC-Hospitals, I explored the medical nutrition therapy for patients with BA before liver transplantation. According to the most recent research, the best nutritional treatment for BA patients before liver transplantation includes cycled EN nocturnal feeding with daily oral feeds using formula with a high MCT:LCT ratio. To prevent deficiencies, it is strongly recommended that BA patients be provided with 130-150% of the caloric DRI for age, 2.5-3 g/kg/d of protein, and ADEK supplements.

description: Eye movements provide important signals for joint attention. However, those eye movements that indicate bids for joint attention often occur amongst non-communicative eye movements. The current study investigated the influence of these non-communicative eye movements on subsequent joint attention responsivity. Participants played an interactive game with an avatar which required both players to search for a visual target on a screen. The player who discovered the target used their eyes to initiate joint attention. We compared participants’ saccadic reaction times (SRTs) to the avatar’s joint attention bids when they were preceded by non-communicative eye movements that predicted the location of the target (Predictive Search), did not predict the location of the target (Random Search), and when there were no non-communicative eye gaze movements prior to joint attention (No Search). We also included a control condition in which participants completed the same task, but responded to a dynamic arrow stimulus instead of the avatar’s eye movements. For both eye and arrow conditions, participants had slower SRTs in Random Search trials than No Search and Predictive Search trials. However, these effects were smaller for eyes than for arrows. These data suggest that joint attention responsivity for eyes is relatively stable to the presence and predictability of spatial information conveyed by non-communicative gaze. Contrastingly, random sequences of dynamic arrows had a much more disruptive impact on subsequent responsivity compared to predictive arrow sequences. This may reflect specialised social mechanisms and expertise for selectively responding to communicative eye gaze cues during dynamic interactions, which is likely facilitated by the integration of ostensive eye contact cues.

description: We report small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments on aqueous dispersions of colloidal silica with a broad monomodal size distribution (polydispersity 18%, size 8 nm). Over a range of volume fractions the silica particles segregate to build first one, then two distinct sets of colloidal crystals. These dispersions thus demonstrate fractional crystallization and multiple-phase (bcc, Laves AB$_2$, liquid) coexistence. Their remarkable ability to build complex crystal structures from a polydisperse population originates from the intermediate-range nature of interparticle forces, and suggests routes for designing self-assembling colloidal crystals from the bottom-up.

Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this proposal is to make the case for outpatient nutrition services at Weisman Children's Rehabilitation Hospital. As Weisman Children's Rehabilitation Hospital primarily serves New Jersey's children with special health care needs (CSHNC), the paper will begin with an explanation of the importance of nutrition for the CSHCN population. This includes the extent of nutrition problems, access to care and the health benefits and cost-effectiveness of nutrition interventions. Next, the paper will describe the landscape of nutrition services for children with special health care needs in the Greater New Jersey Area, including the population of CSHCN served in New Jersey, existing nutrition services in the community and gaps in the current provision of nutrition services for CSHCN. Finally, based on this assessment, the proposal will offer a working model for outpatient nutrition serves at Weisman Children's Rehabilitation Hospital and define the expected benefits of and potential barriers to program implementation.
