Words Were Different When They Lived Inside of You: The Impact of Challenges on LGBTQ+ Collections
Creators: name: Sharma, Helen S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This study focuses on book challenges on LGBTQ+ content in public library youth collections and looks to understand the impact of those challenges on librarians, library collections, and the youth who use those collections. The sample taken was youth librarians in public libraries in North Carolina, who were surveyed virtually. The anticipated impact is that librarians, library administrators, and librarian training programs will revisit their challenge policies with equity and an understanding of the oppressive potential of censorship in mind.
Trial-By-Fire: STEM Graduate Students Perceptions of Scientific Publishing
Creators: name: Smith, Sally
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022
Subjects: Academic libraries -- Services to graduate students
Bibliographic instruction -- Science students
Scholarly publishing
Scholarly peer review

description: This study describes a questionnaire survey of STEM graduate students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The survey was conducted to identify how STEM graduate students learn about the academic publishing process and what aspects of the process most challenge them. Additionally, the study identified how academic libraries can help graduate students learn about this process and the best methods to reach this population.

Although publishing is critical for career advancement, multiple studies have shown that graduate students rarely receive direct instruction in publishing from either their faculty advisors or the library. This can further entrench barriers to publication faced by first-generation students or students from marginalized communities who do not have the same publishing opportunities as their more privileged peers. Ultimately, academic librarians must conduct outreach to STEM graduate students and create publishing instruction to ensure that students are prepared for their career
A family of Nikishin systems with periodic recurrence coefficients

description: Suppose we have a Nikishin system of $p$ measures with the $k$th generating measure of the Nikishin system supported on an interval $Δ_k\subset\er$ with $Δ_k\capΔ_{k+1}=\emptyset$ for all $k$. It is well known that the corresponding staircase sequence of multiple orthogonal polynomials satisfies a $(p+2)$-term recurrence relation whose recurrence coefficients, under appropriate assumptions on the generating measures, have periodic limits of period $p$. (The limit values depend only on the positions of the intervals $Δ_k$.) Taking these periodic limit values as the coefficients of a new $(p+2)$-term recurrence relation, we construct a canonical sequence of monic polynomials $\{P_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, the so-called \emph{Chebyshev-Nikishin polynomials}. We show that the polynomials $P_{n}$ themselves form a sequence of multiple orthogonal polynomials with respect to some Nikishin system of measures, with the $k$th generating measure being absolutely continuous on $Δ_{k}$. In this way we generalize a result of the third author and Rocha \cite{LopRoc} for the case $p=2$. The proof uses the connection with block Toeplitz matrices, and with a certain Riemann surface of genus zero. We also obtain strong asymptotics and an exact Widom-type formula for the second kind functions of the Nikishin system for $\{P_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$.

description: We report the performance of a 10 atm Xenon/trimethylamine time projection chamber (TPC) for the detection of X-rays (30 keV) and gamma-rays (0.511-1.275 MeV) in conjunction with the accurate tracking of the associated electrons. When operated at such a high pressure and in 1%-admixtures, trimethylamine (TMA) endows Xenon with an extremely low electron diffusion (1.3 +-0.13 mm-sigma (longitudinal), 0.8 +-0.15 mm-sigma (transverse) along 1 m drift) besides forming a convenient Penning-Fluorescent mixture. The TPC, that houses 1.1 kg of gas in its active volume, operated continuously for 100 live-days in charge amplification mode. The readout was performed through the recently introduced microbulk Micromegas technology and the AFTER chip, providing a 3D voxelization of 8mm x 8mm x 1.2mm for approximately 10 cm/MeV-long electron tracks. This work was developed as part of the R&D program of the NEXT collaboration for future detector upgrades in the search of the 0bbnu decay in 136Xe, specifically those based on novel gas mixtures. Therefore we ultimately focus on the calorimetric and topological properties of the reconstructed MeV-electron tracks.
High order three-term recursions, Riemann-Hilbert minors and Nikishin systems on star-like sets

description: We study monic polynomials $Q_n(x)$ generated by a high order three-term recursion $xQ_n(x)=Q_{n+1}(x)+a_{n-p} Q_{n-p}(x)$ with arbitrary $p\geq 1$ and $a_n>0$ for all $n$. The recursion is encoded by a two-diagonal Hessenberg operator $H$. One of our main results is that, for periodic coefficients $a_n$ and under certain conditions, the $Q_n$ are multiple orthogonal polynomials with respect to a Nikishin system of orthogonality measures supported on star-like sets in the complex plane. This improves a recent result of Aptekarev-Kalyagin-Saff where a formal connection with Nikishin systems was obtained in the case when $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}|a_n-a|<\infty$ for some $a>0$. An important tool in this paper is the study of "Riemann-Hilbert minors", or equivalently, the "generalized eigenvalues" of the Hessenberg matrix $H$. We prove interlacing relations for the generalized eigenvalues by using totally positive matrices. In the case of asymptotically periodic coefficients $a_n$, we find weak and ratio asymptotics for the Riemann-Hilbert minors and we obtain a connection with a vector equilibrium problem. We anticipate that in the future, the study of Riemann-Hilbert minors may prove useful for more general classes of multiple orthogonal polynomials.

How should spin-weighted spherical functions be defined?

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Spin-weighted spherical functions provide a useful tool for analyzing tensor-valued functions on the sphere. A tensor field can be decomposed into complex-valued functions by taking contractions with tangent vectors on the sphere and the normal to the sphere. These component functions are usually presented as functions on the sphere itself, but this requires an implicit choice of distinguished tangent vectors with which to contract. Thus, we may more accurately say that spin-weighted spherical functions are functions of both a point on the sphere and a choice of frame in the tangent space at that point. The distinction becomes extremely important when transforming the coordinates in which these functions are expressed, because the implicit choice of frame will also transform. Here, it is proposed that spin-weighted spherical functions should be treated as functions on the spin group. This approach more cleanly reflects the geometry involved, and allows for a more elegant description of the behavior of spin-weighted functions. In this form, the spin-weighted spherical harmonics have simple expressions as elements of the Wigner $\mathfrak{D}$ representations, and transformations under rotation are simple. Two variants of the angular-momentum operator are defined directly in terms of the spin group; one is the standard angular-momentum operator $\mathbf{L}$, while the other is shown to be related to the spin-raising operator $ð$. Computer code is also included, providing an explicit implementation of the spin-weighted spherical harmonics in this form.

Assessing Multilingual Collection Development for High School English Language Learners
Creators: name: Roberts, Constance A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The reinterpretation of the Library Bill of Rights for school libraries states that resources should reflect the linguistic pluralism of the community. However, libraries struggle to meet this requirement. My study determined the extent to which high school libraries in a
large suburban school district support their English Language Learners (ELLs) through multilingual resources. I investigated two research questions: what multilingual resources are available and to what extent school policies and librarians support multilingual collection development. I combined analysis of the lingual diversity of high school
library catalogues with content analysis of collection development policies and a semi-structured interview. Given a superdiverse community, high school librarians in this district are developing broad and, in some instances, deep multilingual collections corresponding to both heritage and curricular languages in the county. My study
addresses a gap in academic research on multilingual collections while also being a resource for high school librarians.
Creating Space for Flourishing: Student Representation and Needs in North Carolina Theological Library Collection Policies

description: This paper primarily focuses on encouraging human flourishing in North
Carolina’s Christian theological libraries by observing how collections policies approach materials and theological education as a holistic experience. This holistic experience can be achieved by practitioners by emphasizing human dignity and justice when introducing popular and diverse materials to theological collections. It will be of particular importance to individuals interested in seeing how the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) changes to language around diversity in collections policies are interested as well as theological librarians looking to incorporate goals of human flourishing when
assessing and developing their collections. Findings include a focus on students within the curriculum, intellectual diversity as the primary means of including demographic diversity in the collection and a lack of popular materials in most policies. In light of these findings, this paper offers suggestions for beginning to view students in collections policies as holistic beings.

description: The purpose of this paper is to identify all of the Cayley-Dickson doubling products. A Cayley-Dickson algebra $\mathbb{A}_{N+1}$ of dimension $2^{N+1}$ consists of all ordered pairs of elements of a Cayley-Dickson algebra $\mathbb{A}_{N}$ of dimension $2^N$ where the product $(a,b)(c,d)$ of elements of $\mathbb{A}_{N+1}$ is defined in terms of a pair of second degree binomials $\left(f(a,b,c,d),g(a,b,c,d)\right)$ satisfying certain properties. The polynomial pair$(f,g)$ is called a `doubling product.' While $\mathbb{A}_{0}$ may denote any ring, here it is taken to be the set $\mathbb{R}$ of real numbers. The binomials $f$ and $g$ should be devised such that $\mathbb{A}_{1}=\mathbb{C}$ the complex numbers, $\mathbb{A}_{2}=\mathbb{H}$ the quaternions, and $\mathbb{A}_{3}=\mathbb{O}$ the octonions . Historically, various researchers have used some but not all of these doubling products.
description: 32 candidates for alternate Cayley-Dickson doubling products are winnowed down to 8 products. Four of these products produce, at the third doubling, the octonions and four produce non-octonion but alternative algebras

description: In this chapter we introduce a combined parameter and model reduction methodology and present its application to the efficient numerical estimation of a pressure drop in a set of deformed carotids. The aim is to simulate a wide range of possible occlusions after the bifurcation of the carotid. A parametric description of the admissible deformations, based on radial basis functions interpolation, is introduced. Since the parameter space may be very large, the first step in the combined reduction technique is to look for active subspaces in order to reduce the parameter space dimension. Then, we rely on model order reduction methods over the lower dimensional parameter subspace, based on a POD-Galerkin approach, to further reduce the required computational effort and enhance computational efficiency.

This study aims to answer three research questions: 1) What literary elements and personal ideologies of public librarians determine the appropriateness of children and young adult literature? 2) What influences the collection development practices of public librarians, especially around counter-narratives? 3) Does the current political climate impact public librarians' collection development practices? If so, what are the implications? This study uses content analysis of data collected from the interviews of the librarians to highlight themes in children and young adult collection development practices.

description: As a smaller grain, which is attached on larger one, is growing, it pushes also the larger one and other grains in its surrounding. In a simulation of similar system, repulsive force such as contact force based on linear spring-dashpot model can not accommodate this situation when cell growing rate is faster than simulation time step, since it produces sudden large overlap between grains that makes unphysical result. An algorithm that preserves system linear momentum by introducing additional velocity induced by cell growth is presented in this work. It should be performed in an implicit step. The algorithm has successfully eliminated unphysical overlap.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: A general method for deriving exact expressions for vector potentials produced by arbitrarily knotted solenoids is presented. It consists of using simple physics ideas from magnetostatics to evaluate the magnetic field in a surrogate problem. The latter is obtained by modelling the knot with wire segments carrying steady currents on a cubical lattice. The expressions for a 31 (trefoil) and a 41 (figure-eight) knot are explicitly worked out. The results are of some importance in the study of the Aharonov-Bohm effect generalised to a situation in which charged particles moving through force-free regions are scattered by fluxes confined to the interior of knotted impenetrable tubes.

Children of sperm donors

description: This study aims to examine how donor-conceived youth are portrayed in novels marketed toward adolescents. It categorizes how the developmental needs of donor-conceived youth are uniquely met, as well as the developmental needs of all teens, in these books. This is done through a qualitative content analysis of young adult novels that feature a character that was conceived via sperm donor. In conducing this research, the study hopes to help librarians make collection decisions regarding young adult novels that feature donor-conceived characters, as well as help donor-conceived youth identify books in which they can see themselves in the pages.

description: Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) represent a new approach to ensuring authenticity of records, as well as being a medium that digital artists are flocking towards. Such a technology could prove to be incredibly useful in conducting work in the world of Library and Information Science. This research aimed to propose the beginnings of creating a set of best practices for the long-term preservation of NFTs, through interviewing LIS professionals who are experts in preservation. These interviews would attempt to garner insight on how NFTs could or couldn’t fit into pre-existing frameworks of preservation practices, and if not, how to adapt current practices to accommodate them. Due to a lack of responses, the approach of this paper shifted from primary research to a review article, still with the aim of trying to understand what accommodations may need to be made to preserve NFTs in the long term.

description: We investigate the sequence $(P_{n}(z))_{n=0}^{\infty}$ of random polynomials generated by the three-term recurrence relation $P_{n+1}(z)=z P_{n}(z)-a_{n} P_{n-1}(z)$, $n\geq 1$, with initial conditions $P_{\ell}(z)=z^{\ell}$, $\ell=0, 1$, assuming that $(a_{n})_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}$ is a sequence of positive i.i.d. random variables. $(P_{n}(z))_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of orthogonal polynomials on the real line, and $P_{n}$ is the characteristic polynomial of a Jacobi matrix $J_{n}$. We investigate the relation between the common distribution of the recurrence coefficients $a_{n}$ and two other distributions obtained as weak limits of the averaged empirical and spectral measures of $J_{n}$. Our main result is a description of combinatorial relations between the moments of the aforementioned distributions in terms of certain classes of colored planar trees. Our approach is combinatorial, and the starting point of the analysis is a formula of P. Flajolet for weight polynomials associated with labelled Dyck paths.

DoF-Delay Trade-Off for the $K$-user MIMO Interference Channel With Delayed CSIT

description: The degrees of freedom (DoF) of the $K$-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channel are studied when perfect, but delayed channel state information is available at the transmitter side (delayed CSIT). Recent works have proposed schemes that achieve increasing DoF values, but at the cost of long communication delays. This work proposes three linear precoding strategies, formulated in such a way that the achievable DoF can be derived as a function of the transmission delay, thus elucidating its achievable DoF-delay trade-off. All strategies are based on the concept of interference alignment, and built upon three main ingredients: delayed CSIT precoding, user scheduling, and redundancy transmission. In this respect, the interference alignment is realized by exploiting delayed CSIT in order to align the interference at the non-intended receivers along the space-time domain. Finally, the latter part of this work settles that all the proposed strategies work also for constant channels, except for SISO. In such a case, the schemes can be made feasible by resorting to asymmetric complex signaling concepts. This conclusion removes the time-varying channels assumption unnecessarily common along all the literature on delayed CSIT.

description: In this paper we continue the investigations initiated in \cite{LopLopstar} on ratio asymptotics of multiple orthogonal polynomials and functions of the second kind associated with Nikishin systems on star-like sets. We describe in detail the limiting functions found in \cite{LopLopstar}, expressing them in terms of certain conformal mappings defined on a compact Riemann surface of genus zero. We also express the limiting values of the recurrence coefficients, which are shown to be strictly positive, in terms of certain values of the conformal mappings. As a consequence, the limits depend exclusively on the location of the intervals determined by the supports of the measures that generate the Nikishin system.

description: By using COSMO-ART, highly resolved process study simulations for 2-3 July 2016 are conducted to assess the aerosol effect on the meteorological conditions of southern West Africa. The meteorological phenomenon Evening Monsoon Flow Enhancement (EMFE) is identified as highly susceptible to the aerosol direct effect, leading to a spatial shift of the EMFE front. In a second aerosol feedback chain the aerosol variation leads to a temporal shift of the stratus-to-cumulus transition.

A semiparametric extension of the stochastic block model for longitudinal networks

description: To model recurrent interaction events in continuous time, an extension of the stochastic block model is proposed where every individual belongs to a latent group and interactions between two individuals follow a conditional inhomogeneous Poisson process with intensity driven by the individuals' latent groups. The model is shown to be identifiable and its estimation is based on a semiparametric variational expectation-maximization algorithm. Two versions of the method are developed, using either a nonparametric histogram approach (with an adaptive choice of the partition size) or kernel intensity estimators. The number of latent groups can be selected by an integrated classification likelihood criterion. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of our procedure on synthetic experiments, analyse two datasets to illustrate the utility of our approach and comment on competing methods.

Libraries & the environment

description: With the growing climate change crisis, more public libraries are beginning to offer environmental education programming and services. This paper analyzes the case of one mid-sized public library through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with library personnel to discover emerging themes in the intersection of these disciplines. Relatedly, both libraries and environmental education have a history of being overwhelmingly white, and thus require deliberate DEI efforts to make them inclusive. This exploratory case study offers themes that could be explored by future scholars or potential lessons learned or wisdom for libraries looking to begin environmental education programs.
Extremal problems in de Branges spaces: the case of truncated and odd functions

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)

description: In this paper we find extremal one-sided approximations of exponential type for a class of truncated and odd functions with a certain exponential subordination. These approximations optimize the $L^1(\mathbb{R}, |E(x)|^{-2}dx)$-error, where $E$ is an arbitrary Hermite-Biehler entire function of bounded type in the upper half-plane. This extends the work of Holt and Vaaler [Duke Math. Journal 83 (1996), 203-247] for the signum function. We also provide periodic analogues of these results, finding optimal one-sided approximations by trigonometric polynomials of a given degree to a class of periodic functions with exponential subordination. These extremal trigonometric polynomials optimize the $L^1(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}, d\vartheta)$-error, where $\vartheta$ is an arbitrary nontrivial measure on $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. The periodic results extend the work of Li and Vaaler [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 48, No. 1 (1999), 183-236], who considered this problem for the sawtooth function with respect to Jacobi measures. Our techniques are based on the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (of entire functions and of polynomials) and on the construction of suitable interpolations with nodes at the zeros of Laguerre-Pólya functions.
