description: A precise measurement of dephasing over a range of timescales is critical for improving quantum gates beyond the error correction threshold. We present a metrological tool, based on randomized benchmarking, capable of greatly increasing the precision of Ramsey and spin echo sequences by the repeated but incoherent addition of phase noise. We find our SQUID-based qubit is not limited by $1/f$ flux noise at short timescales, but instead observe a telegraph noise mechanism that is not amenable to study with standard measurement techniques.

description: Research shows that constraining aspects of male gender norms negatively influence both women’s and men’s health. Messaging that draws upon norms of masculinity in health programming has been shown improve both women’s and men’s health, but some types of public health messaging (e.g., “Man Up!”) can reify harmful aspects of hegemonic masculinity that programs are working to change. We critically assess the deployment of hegemonic male norms in one particular STD campaign known as “Man Up.” We draw on ethical paradigms in public health to challenge programs that reinforce harmful aspects of gender norms and suggest the use of gender-transformative interventions that challenge constraining masculine norms and have been shown to have a positive effect on health behaviors.

description: A filled skutterudite, La$_{0.5}$Rh$_4$Sb$_{12}$, with a lattice constant of 9.284(2) Å was synthesized using a high-pressure technique. The electrical resistivity showed semiconducting behavior and the energy gap was estimated to be more than 0.08 eV. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicated temperature-independent diamagnetism, which originates from Larmor diamagnetism. The electrical properties of this compound are more similar to those of the La$_{0.5}$Rh$_4$As$_{12}$ semiconductor with an energy gap of 0.03 eV than to those of the La$_{0.6}$Rh$_4$P$_{12}$ superconductor.

Movement Ecology of Juvenile Atlantic Horseshoe Crabs (Limulus polyphemus) in Estuarine Nurseries
Creators: name: Palmieri, Sophia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Marine nursery sites promote the survival of juvenile marine organisms by providing resources for growth and protection. Seascape nurseries are composed of groups of habitats known as "mosaics", where each habitat provides different benefits that increase the functionality of the nursery site when connected. Through these cross-habitat synergies, juveniles benefit from habitats they do not directly occupy. Juveniles may move between habitats to meet their needs, which is the focus of movement ecology, a field that seeks to understand the patterns, drivers, and consequences of animal movement. The availability of resources and protection within seascape nurseries can mitigate the need for juveniles to undertake long-distance movements in search of necessities, as movement requires an energy tradeoff from growth, energy storage, and defense. This study investigated the movement patterns of juvenile Atlantic horseshoe crabs (HSCs; Limulus polyphemus) within a seascape nursery, with a focus on how the presence or absence of an adjacent oyster reef habitat affected their behavior. It was hypothesized that juvenile HSCs exhibit non-random movements based on hourly and tidal cycles, shorter traveling distances in areas with nearby oyster reefs, and directed movement toward sandflats with adjacent reefs, due to the advantageous resources and protection provided by habitat mosaics. Individuals were tracked over hours-days, between September and November, using tethered Ping-Pong balls. The results indicate that juvenile HSCs have distinct movement patterns that change throughout tidal cycles and hourly intervals and that the presence of a neighboring oyster reef influences their traveling distances and directions. These results will, ideally, influence further research on nursery sites and impact the location of conservation efforts in an attempt to protect the most functional locations.

description: Speed of sound is one of the thermodynamic properties that can be measured with least uncertainty and is of great interest in developing equations of state. Moreover, accurate models are needed by the H2 industry to design the transport and storage stages of hydrogen blends in the natural gas network. This research aims to provide accurate data for ($CH_{4}$ + $H_{2}$) mixtures of nominal (5, 10, and 50) mol-% of hydrogen, in the $p$ = (0.5 up to 20) MPa pressure range and with temperatures $T$ = (273.16, 300, 325, 350, and 375) K. Using an acoustic spherical resonator, speed of sound was determined with an overall relative expanded ($k$ = 2) uncertainty of 220 parts in $10^{6}$ (0.022%). Data were compared to reference equations of state for natural gas-like mixtures, such as AGA8-DC92 and GERG-2008. Average absolute deviations below 0.095% and percentage deviations between 0.029% and up to 0.30%, respectively, were obtained. Additionally, results were fitted to the acoustic virial equation of state and adiabatic coefficients, molar isochoric heat capacities and molar isobaric heat capacities as perfect-gas, together with second and third acoustic virial coefficients were estimated. Density second virial coefficients were also obtained.

description: The subleading corrections to factorization theorems for soft bremsstrahlung in nonabelian gauge theories and gravity are investigated in the case of a five point amplitude with four scalars. Building on recent results, we write the action of the angular momentum operators on scattering amplitudes as derivatives with respect to the Mandelstam invariants to uncover a double copy structure in the contribution of the soft graviton to the amplitude, both in the leading term and the first correction. Using our approach, we study Gribov's theorem as extended to nonabelian gauge theories and gravity by Lipatov, and find that subleading corrections can be obtained from those to Low's theorem by dropping the terms with derivatives with respect to the center-of-mass energy, which are suppressed at high energies. In this case, the emitted gravitons are not necessarily soft.

description: To meet the evolving needs of diverse data users and support the state-of-the-art in scientific research and applications, data centers and other data archives and repositories that serve multiple scientific disciplines need to understand how to improve services offered to their user communities. Analyzing how data have been used in research—as described in recent scientific publications—is valuable in identifying user needs as well as opportunities to expand support for current and potential data users. Such efforts are especially important for characterizing the needs of interdisciplinary research efforts, in which data from diverse disciplines and sources are accessed, integrated, and analyzed in innovative ways. As part of the quest to identify current and future needs of its interdisciplinary user community, SEDAC, the NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center, is studying data citations and the content of articles that recently cited SEDAC data to better understand the data challenges that interdisciplinary researchers face and the methods and approaches used to overcome these challenges. Aspects of data use being investigated include the composition of research teams (including both author disciplines and the institutions and countries represented), datasets used, types of data use, and tools used with the data, as reported in published articles in different types of journals. We report on the findings of the current study within the context of previous studies on interdisciplinary data use.

description: Density measurements from single-sinker magnetic suspension densimeters need to be corrected to compensate for the magnetic effects of the measuring cell materials and the fluid on the coupling transmission system. While the magnetic effect of the densimeter materials can be easily determined, the fluid effect requires the calculation of an apparatus-specific constant, $ε_ρ$. In this work, the apparatus-specific constant of the single-sinker magnetic suspension densimeter at the University of Valladolid has been determined by using two alternative methods. The first method, which uses density data for the same fluid and conditions and different sinkers, yielded a value of $ε_ρ$ = $4.6\cdot10^{-5}$. The second method, obtained from measurements with pure oxygen, yielded a value of $ε_ρ$ = $8.822\cdot10^{-5}$. The second value is considered as more reliable, as the first method presents inherent limitations in this case.
Examining effects of depressive symptoms on the adoption of positive eating behaviors, and their impacts on weight change
Creators: name: Kathryn Blair
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Depression and overweight/obesity are key public health issues. Depressive symptoms and weight are often correlated in research, as are changes in eating behaviors and weight reduction. However, little research has focused on the potential mediating effect of eating behaviors on the relationship between depressive symptoms and weight change. I hypothesize that those with higher levels of baseline depressive symptoms will adopt fewer positive eating behaviors at month 3, which will then be associated with smaller weight losses at month 6, controlling for age of participants. This study is a secondary analysis of n = 219 participants in the LoseNowPA study, a 12-month randomized controlled internet health trial within primary care providers. The measures analyzed in this study are the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), the Eating Behavior Inventory (EBI), and weight/weight change. Multiple linear regression is used to model the proposed mediation relationship. Results showed that the relationship between baseline CES-D scores and 3-month EBI scores was not significant (p = 0.504). EBI and weight change were related, such that each one unit increase in 3-month EBI scores was associated with a 0.291 kilogram decrease in weight at 6 months (SE = 0.034; p = 0.000). The overall indirect effect was not significant, which means that there is not enough information to conclude that depressive symptoms influence weight through eating behaviors. However, it is possible that the weight loss intervention influenced the relationship between depressive symptoms, eating behaviors, and weight change. Future studies should explore the effect of weight loss interventions compared to usual care on this relationship, as well as other variables that could potentially mediate or moderate the relationship between depressive symptoms and weight change.

description: We apply the Cartan's supersymmetric model to the weak interaction of hadrons. The electromagnetic currents are transformed by $G_{12},G_{123},G_{13},G_{132}$ and the factor$(1-γ_5)$ is inserted between $l \barν$ or $\bar l ν$ when the photon is replaced by $W^\pm$, and between $l \bar l$ or $ν\bar ν$ when the photon is replaced by $Z$. Electromagnetic currents in the Higgs boson $H^0$ decay into 2$γ$ and $D_s(0^+)$ decay into $D_s(0^-)π$ and $D_s(0^-)γ$ in which leptons are replaced by quarks are also studied. A possibility that the boson near the $B\bar B$ theshold $χ_b(3P, 10.53$ GeV) is the Higgs boson partner $h^0$ is discussed. We adopt Dirac lepton neutrinos and Majorana quark neutrinos, and construct a model that satisfy the $Z_3$ symmetry of the lepton sector and the quark sector, by adding two right-handed neutrinos whose left-handed partner cannot be detected by our electro-magnetic detectors.

description: Disaster epidemiology (i.e., applied epidemiology in disaster settings) presents a source of reliable and actionable information for decision-makers and stakeholders in the disaster management cycle. However, epidemiological methods have yet to be routinely integrated into disaster response and fully communicated to response leaders. We present a framework consisting of rapid needs assessments, health surveillance, tracking and registries, and epidemiological investigations, including risk factor and health outcome studies and evaluation of interventions, which can be practiced throughout the cycle. Applying each method can result in actionable information for planners and decision-makers responsible for preparedness, response, and recovery. Disaster epidemiology, once integrated into the disaster management cycle, can provide the evidence base to inform and enhance response capability within the public health infrastructure.

description: We restudy the issue of cross-correlations between broad-line and jet emission variations, and aim to locate the position of radio (and gamma-ray) emitting region in jet of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Considering the radial profiles of the radius and number density of clouds in a spherical broad-line region (BLR), we derive new formulae connecting jet emitting position $R_{\rm{jet}}$ to time lag $τ_{\rm{ob}}$ between broad-line and jet emission variations, and BLR radius. Also, formulae are derived for a disk-like BLR and a spherical shell BLR. The model-independent FR/RSS method is used to estimate $τ_{\rm{ob}}$. For 3C 120, positive lags of about 0.3 yr are found between the 15 GHz emission and the H$β$, H$γ$ and He II $λ4686$ lines, including broad-line data in a newly published paper, indicating the line variations lead the 15 GHz ones. Each of the broad-line light curves corresponds to a radio outburst. $R_{\rm{jet}}=$1.1--1.5 parsec (pc) are obtained for 3C 120. For 3C 273, a common feature of negative time lags is found in the cross-correlation functions between light curves of radio emission and the Balmer lines, and as well Ly$α\/\ λ1216$ and C~{\sc iv} $λ1549$ lines. $R_{\rm{jet}}=$ 1.0--2.6 pc are obtained for 3C 273. The estimated $R_{\rm{jet}}$ are comparable for 3C 120 and 3C 273, and the gamma-ray emitting positions will be within $\sim$ 1--3 pc from the central engines. Comparisons show that the cloud number density and radius radial distributions and the BLR structures only have negligible effects on $R_{\rm{jet}}$.

description: In a single-component Ginzburg-Landau model which possesses thermodynamically stable vortex excitations, the zero-field superconducting phase transition is second order even when fluctuations are included. Beyond the mean-field approximation the transition is described in terms of proliferation of vortex loops. Here we determine the order of the superconducting transition in an effective 3D vortex-loop model for the recently proposed multiband type-1.5 superconductors. The vortex interaction is nonmonotonic, i.e., exponentially screened and attractive at large separations, and short-range repulsive. We show that the details of the vortex interaction, despite its short-range nature, can lead to very different properties of the superconducting transition than found in type-1 and type-2 systems. Namely, the type-1.5 regime with nonmonotonic intervortex interaction can have a first-order vortex-driven phase transition not found in the single-band case.

description: We give a complete classification of integrable Markovian boundary conditions for the asymmetric simple exclusion process with two species (or classes) of particles. Some of these boundary conditions lead to non-vanishing particle currents for each species. We explain how the stationary state of all these models can be expressed in a matrix product form, starting from two key components, the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev and Ghoshal-Zamolodchikov relations. This statement is illustrated by studying in detail a specific example, for which the matrix Ansatz (involving 9 generators) is explicitly constructed and physical observables (such as currents, densities) calculated.

Lung Transplantation: Opportunities for Research and Clinical Advancement
Creators: name: Reynolds, Herbert Y.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Lung transplantation is the only definitive therapy for many forms of end-stage lung diseases. However, the success of lung transplantation is limited by many factors: (1) Too few lungs available for transplantation due to limited donors or injury to the donor lung; (2) current methods of preservation of excised lungs do not allow extended periods of time between procurement and implantation; (3) acute graft failure is more common with lungs than other solid organs, thus contributing to poorer short-term survival after lung transplant compared with that for recipients of other organs; (4) lung transplant recipients are particularly vulnerable to pulmonary infections; and (5) chronic allograft dysfunction, manifest by bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, is frequent and limits long-term survival. Scientific advances may provide significant improvements in the outcome of lung transplantation. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a working group of investigators on June 14–15, 2004, in Bethesda, Maryland, to identify opportunities for scientific advancement in lung transplantation, including basic and clinical research. This workshop provides a framework to identify critical issues related to clinical lung transplantation, and to delineate important areas for productive scientific investigation.

Creators: name: Webber, Caroline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: The Galapagos Islands serve as a pristine location for measuring marine aerosol and particulate matter (PM2.5). To most effectively utilize the Galapagos as a sampling location,
an interannual analysis of ambient PM2.5 levels and some of the factors influencing the variability of these PM2.5 concentrations has been conducted. This paper draws on three months of hourly PM2.5 averages collected from 2017-2019 as well as hourly meteorological data to study ambient PM2.5 variability in the Galapagos region.
Implicit Contextual Integrity in Online Social Networks

description: Many real incidents demonstrate that users of Online Social Networks need mechanisms that help them manage their interactions by increasing the awareness of the different contexts that coexist in Online Social Networks and preventing them from exchanging inappropriate information in those contexts or disseminating sensitive information from some contexts to others. Contextual integrity is a privacy theory that conceptualises the appropriateness of information sharing based on the contexts in which this information is to be shared. Computational models of Contextual Integrity assume the existence of well-defined contexts, in which individuals enact pre-defined roles and information sharing is governed by an explicit set of norms. However, contexts in Online Social Networks are known to be implicit, unknown a priori and ever changing; users relationships are constantly evolving; and the information sharing norms are implicit. This makes current Contextual Integrity models not suitable for Online Social Networks. In this paper, we propose the first computational model of Implicit Contextual Integrity, presenting an information model and an Information Assistant Agent that uses the information model to learn implicit contexts, relationships and the information sharing norms to help users avoid inappropriate information exchanges and undesired information disseminations. Through an experimental evaluation, we validate the properties of Information Assistant Agents, which are shown to: infer the information sharing norms even if a small proportion of the users follow the norms and in presence of malicious users; help reduce the exchange of inappropriate information and the dissemination of sensitive information with only a partial view of the system and the information received and sent by their users; and minimise the burden to the users in terms of raising unnecessary alerts.

The Effect of Metformin on the Metabolism and Function of CD4+ T Helper Subsets in Obesity
Creators: name: Rajeev, Devika
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Background: Obesity is an independent risk factor for increased morbidity and mortality to influenza and coronavirus infections. T cells are critical players in immune response to infection and are altered in obesity. Our lab has identified increased glucose oxidation as a possible metabolic mechanism by which T cell responses to viral infection are impaired. We have also found that treatment with metabolic drug metformin normalized oxidative metabolism in bulk CD4+ T cells and improved survival in a mouse model of obesity and influenza. However, the effects of metformin on distinct CD4+ T cell subsets remain unknown. in this study we explore the metabolic and functional effects of metformin on effector and regulatory CD4+ T cell subsets.    
Methods: CD4+ T cells were isolated from C57BL/6 mice fed low fat or high fat diet for 18 weeks and differentiated in vitro toward effector T cell subsets (Teff; Th1 and Th17) or regulatory T cells (Treg) in the presence or absence of the metformin. After 72 hours, T cell viability, nutrient uptake, metabolic flux, differentiation, and function were measured using flow cytometry and a Seahorse metabolic flux analyzer. 
Results: Metformin treatment of CD4+ T cell subsets did not change viability or nutrient uptake of glucose and fatty acids. Oxidative metabolism was significantly decreased in both Teff and Treg subsets following metformin treatment, while Treg cells also showed increased glycolytic metabolism. Functionally, metformin decreased cytokine production of Teff subsets and increased proportion of Treg cells.
Conclusion: These data suggest that metformin treatment is anti-inflammatory by downregulating Teff cytokines and upregulating proportions of Treg cells. Further elucidating the mechanisms of metformin on Treg function, specifically in obesity models following infection of influenza or coronavirus may lead to novel therapeutic insights.
Little-Parks Oscillations in a Single Ring in the vicinity of the Superconductor-Insulator Transition

description: We present results of measurements obtained from a mesoscopic ring of a highly disordered superconductor. Superimposed on a smooth magnetoresistance background we find periodic oscillations with a period that is independent of the strength of the magnetic field. The period of the oscillations is consistent with charge transport by Cooper pairs. The oscillations persist unabated for more than 90 periods, through the transition to the insulating phase, up to our highest field of 12 T.

description: We investigate the properties of a two-dimensional quasicrystal in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. In this configuration, the density of states (DOS) displays a Hofstadter butterfly-like structure when it is represented as a function of the magnetic flux per tile. We show that the low-DOS regions of the energy spectrum are associated with chiral edge states, in direct analogy with the Chern insulators realized with periodic lattices. We establish the topological nature of the edge states by computing the topological Chern number associated with the bulk of the quasicrystal. This topological characterization of the non-periodic lattice is achieved through a local (real-space) topological marker. This work opens a route for the exploration of topological insulating materials in a wide range of non-periodic lattice systems, including photonic crystals and cold atoms in optical lattices.

description: Rationale: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by recurrent infections of the airways and situs inversus in half of the affected offspring. The most frequent genetic defects comprise recessive mutations of DNAH5 and DNAI1, which encode outer dynein arm (ODA) components. Diagnosis of PCD usually relies on electron microscopy, which is technically demanding and sometimes difficult to interpret. Methods: Using specific antibodies, we determined the subcellular localization of the ODA heavy chains DNAH5 and DNAH9 in human respiratory epithelial and sperm cells of patients with PCD and control subjects by high-resolution immunofluorescence imaging. We also assessed cilia and sperm tail function by high-speed video microscopy. Results: In normal ciliated airway epithelium, DNAH5 and DNAH9 show a specific regional distribution along the ciliary axoneme, indicating the existence of at least two distinct ODA types. DNAH5 was completely or only distally absent from the respiratory ciliary axoneme in patients with PCD with DNAH5− (n = 3) or DNAI1− (n = 1) mutations, respectively, and instead accumulated at the microtubule-organizing centers. In contrast to respiratory cilia, sperm tails from a patient with DNAH5 mutations had normal ODA heavy chain distribution, suggesting different modes of ODA generation in these cell types. Blinded investigation of a large cohort of patients with PCD and control subjects identified DNAH5 mislocalization in all patients diagnosed with ODA defects by electron microscopy (n = 16). Cilia with complete axonemal DNAH5 deficiency were immotile, whereas cilia with distal DNAH5 deficiency showed residual motility. Conclusions: Immunofluorescence staining can detect ODA defects, which will possibly aid PCD diagnosis.
