description: We present a new equation of state for infinite systems (symmetric, asymmetric and neutron matter) based on an extended Skyrme functional constrained by microscopic Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone results. The resulting equation of state reproduces with very good accuracy the main features of microscopic calculations and it is compatible with recent measurements of two times Solar-mass neutron stars. We provide all necessary analytical expressions to facilitate a quick numerical implementation of quantities of astrophysical interest.

description: We describe the development and application of nanosensors having bioreceptor probes for bioanalysis. The nanoprobes were fabricated with optical fibers pulled down to tips having distal end sizes of approximately 30–60?nm. The use of two different types of receptors was investigated. Fiberoptic nanoprobes were covalently bound either with bioreceptors, such as antibodies, or with other receptors, such as cyclodextrins that are selective for the size and chemical structure of the analyte molecules. Theoretical calculations were performed to model the binding of beta-cyclodextrin with pyrene and 5,6-benzoquinoline, and to illustrate the possibility of comparing experimental data with theoretical data. The antibody-based nanoprobe was used for in situ measurements of benzopyrene tetrol in single cells. The performance of the nanosensor is illustrated by intracellular measurements performed on a rat liver epithelial cell line (Clone 9) used as the model cell system. The usefulness and potential of these nanotechnology-based biosensors in biological research and applications are discussed.
Flights of memory: narrating the past in Wings of Desire
Creators: name: Kaplan, Silia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Wings of Desire engages in a dialectic of remembering and forgetting by presenting the inner dialogues and memories of the people of Berlin in the foreground of a physical memory of destruction. The inhabitants wander the city with little attentiveness to its architecture (the Berlin wall and the ruined buildings as a record of jarred collective memory) while being absorbed in their own troubled thoughts, but Wenders reconciles this disconnect in the figure of the storyteller. The film explores the intricacies of memory through notions of storytelling, often reflecting Benjamin’s theories of memory and history. My paper extensively analyzes these concepts as they are portrayed in the postmodern metropolis of Berlin, identifying not only the problems that arise in the attempt to depict a postmodern narrative but also the ways in which Wenders is able to resolve these problems and leave his viewers with optimism and hope for the future.

description: The work describes the maximization problem regarding heating of an area on the surface of a thin plate within a given temperature range. The solution of the problem is applied to ion injectors. The given temperature range corresponds to a required pressure of a saturated gas comprising evaporated atoms of the plate material. In order to find the solution, a one-parameter optimization problem was formulated and implemented leading to optimization of the plate's specific geometry. It was shown that a heated area can be increased up to 23.5% in comparison with the regular rectangle form of a given plate configuration.

Sediment Emission and Water Column Oxidation of Methane in Alaskan Arctic Lakes
Creators: name: McGowan, Gabriel E.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas and is important in lacustrine food webs. Cycling of CH4 in arctic lakes is poorly quantified, though arctic wetlands are key to the atmospheric CH4 budget. Sediment emission and water column oxidation of CH4 were studied in 3 shallow and 3 deep Alaskan arctic lakes during the 2010 and 2011 thaw seasons. Sediment CH4 emission was oxygen-regulated and significantly higher in shallow lakes, averaging 1.39 mmol m-2 d-1. Methane comprised a larger fraction of sediment catabolism in shallow lakes. Water column CH4 oxidation was significantly greater in shallow lakes, averaging 0.16 mmol m-2 d-1, with specific rates in bottom waters among the highest reported. Air-water CH4 exchange ranged up to 1.94 mmol m-2 d-1 in shallow lakes, similar to rates reported for tropical lakes. The data show that CH4 is important in C cycling in shallow Alaskan arctic lakes, which emit considerable CH4 despite extensive CH4 oxidation.

description: This article describes the development of the first three-dimensional optical random access memory (3D-ORAM) material and readout system for monitoring energetic neutrons. Two different photochromic dyes, 5‘-chloro-6-nitro-1‘,3‘,3‘-trimethylspiro-[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2‘-indoline] (spirobenzopyran) and anthracene, have been investigated for use in these 3-D ORAM dosimeter materials. These dyes were immobilized in a poly(methyl methacrylate) support, and the resulting dosimeter materials were irradiated with neutrons from a Cf-252 source. Fluorescence measurements from the dosimeter show a dramatic decrease in the overall fluorescence intensity of the 3D-ORAM dosimeter exposed to the Cf-252, relative to a nonirradiated dosimeter. In addition, a two-photon excitation readout system has been developed for determining characteristics of the radiation that are necessary for estimating dose.

description: Submicrometer fiber-optic biosensors have been developed and used to measure toxic chemicals within single cells. Optical fibers that have been pulled to a distal-end diameter of less than 1 ?m are coated with antibodies to selectively bind the species of interest. This paper describes the use of these fibers to selectively measure the concentration of benzo[a]pyrene tetrol (BPT), a metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene, within individual cells of two different cell lines, human mammary carcinoma cells and rat liver epithelial cells. The results from these measurements have been used to determine the sensitivity, reproducibility, and usefulness of these nanosensors. The detection limit of these biosensors has been determined to be 0.64 ± 0.17 × 10?11 M for BPT.

description: We construct a class of Einstein-vector theories where the vector field couples bilinearly to the curvature polynomials of arbitrary order in such a way that only Riemann tensor rather than its derivative enters the equations of motion. The theories can thus be ghost free. The U(1) gauge symmetry may emerge in the vacuum and also in some weak-field limit. We focus on the two-derivative theory and study a variety of applications. We find that in this theory, the energy-momentum tensor of dark matter provides a position-dependent gauge-violating term to the Maxwell field. We also use the vector as an inflaton and construct cosmological solutions. We find that the expansion can accelerate without a bared cosmological constant, indicating a new candidate for dark energy. Furthermore we obtain exact solutions of de Sitter bounce, generated by the vector which behaves like a Maxwell field in the later time. We also obtain a few new exact black holes that are asymptotic to flat and Lifshitz spacetimes. In addition, we construct exact wormholes, and Randall-Sundrum II domain walls.

description: We report here the application of an antibody-based nanoprobe for in situ measurements of a single cell. The nanoprobe employs antibody-based receptors targeted to a fluorescent analyte, benzopyrene tetrol (BPT), a metabolite of the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and of the BaP–DNA adduct. Detection of BPT is of great biomedical interest, since this species can serve as a biomarker for monitoring DNA damage due to BaP exposure and for possible precancer diagnosis. The measurements were performed on the rat liver epithelial clone 9 cell line, which was used as the model cell system. Before making measurements, the cells were treated with BPT. Nanoprobes were inserted into individual cells, incubated 5 min to allow antigen–antibody binding, and then removed for fluorescence detection. We determined a concentration of 9.6 ± 0.2 × 10?11 M for BPT in the individual cells investigated. The results demonstrate the possibility of in situ measurements inside a single cell using an antibody-based nanoprobe.

description: In this work we present RESCU, a powerful MATLAB-based Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) solver. We demonstrate that RESCU can compute the electronic structure properties of systems comprising many thousands of atoms using modest computer resources, e.g. 16 to 256 cores. Its computational efficiency is achieved from exploiting four routes. First, we use numerical atomic orbital (NAO) techniques to efficiently generate a good quality initial subspace which is crucially required by Chebyshev filtering methods. Second, we exploit the fact that only a subspace spanning the occupied Kohn-Sham states is required, and solving accurately the KS equation using eigensolvers can generally be avoided. Third, by judiciously analyzing and optimizing various parts of the procedure in RESCU, we delay the $O(N^3)$ scaling to large $N$, and our tests show that RESCU scales consistently as $O(N^{2.3})$ from a few hundred atoms to more than 5,000 atoms when using a real space grid discretization. The scaling is better or comparable in a NAO basis up to the 14,000 atoms level. Fourth, we exploit various numerical algorithms and, in particular, we introduce a partial Rayleigh-Ritz algorithm to achieve efficiency gains for systems comprising more than 10,000 electrons. We demonstrate the power of RESCU in solving KS-DFT problems using many examples running on 16, 64 and/or 256 cores: a 5,832 Si atoms supercell; a 8,788 Al atoms supercell; a 5,324 Cu atoms supercell and a small DNA molecule submerged in 1,713 water molecules for a total 5,399 atoms. The KS-DFT is entirely converged in a few hours in all cases. Our results suggest that the RESCU method has reached a milestone of solving thousands of atoms by KS-DFT on a modest computer cluster.

description: This article describes a lightweight, self-contained, field portable Raman instrument that has been developed for rapid on-site determination of primary mixture components. The instrument consists of a helium neon (HeNe) laser for excitation, an acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) for wavelength discrimination, and an avalanche photodiode for detection. The AOTF is the primary component of this system and has been selected based on its spectral range (600–900 nm) along with its high resolution, ?7.5 cm?1. Labview™ based software for controlling the AOTF frequency and the signal acquisition has also been developed. Several different samples were analyzed (both solids and liquids) using this instrument for the evaluation of parameters such as spectral resolution, sensitivity, and data acquisition speed for certain environmentally important compounds. The results from these measurements are compared with those using a conventional laboratory Raman system consisting of a grating-based spectrograph and a charge-coupled device.

description: The interaction of light with tissue has ben used to recognize disease since the mid-1800s. The recent developments of light sources, detectors, and fiber optic probes provide opportunities to measure these interactions, which yield information for tissue diagnosis at the biochemical, structural, or physiological level. In this paper, we describe a bioimaging system designed for biomedical applications and show laser-indued fluorescence (LIF) images mammalian brain tissue. The LIF imaging of tissue was carried out in vitro using two laser excitations: 488 nm and 514 nm. Images were recorded through an acousto- optic tunable filter over the range 500 nm-650 nm with a charged coupled device camera. Background subtracted images were generated across the fluorescent wavelength. Subtraction allowed a safe comparison to be made with well- contrasted images. Of the two tested excitation wavelengths, 488 nm excitation gave the more distinctive contrast.

Mechanisms of leaf litter transport as an example of flow-structure-ecology interactions at the reach scale and microscale
Creators: name: Small, Melanie J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: A combined flume and field study examined the interactions between structure, hydrology and ecology at various spatial and temporal scales. Leaf litter was loosely applied as a metric for energy of a stream food web to examine controls on retention and transport in response to changing hydraulic regime. Questions examined included (1.) what are the small scale mechanisms of leaf retention; (2) do these mechanisms scale up to the reach scale? (3) how does channel morphology and structural diversity affect leaf litter retention? (4) as hydrology alters, do hydrology and physical structures switch in the hierarchy of drivers controlling stream metabolism? At low flood frequencies, hydrology was the main driver of leaf storage. At high frequencies, channel structure was most important. Channel complexity made the system less sensitive to increased flooding. Turbulence and rate of change in discharge were important drivers in leaf mobilization.

Το δείγμα αποτέλεσαν 32 μαθητές και μαθήτριες από ένα δημόσιο σχολείο της ΣΤ’ τάξης δημοτικού. Ο διαχωρισμός των ομάδων έγινε τυχαία με τους 17 μαθητές και μαθήτριες να αποτελούν την ομάδα παρέμβασης και τους 15 μαθητές/-τριες την ομάδα ελέγχου. Το πρόγραμμα περιελάβανε μια χορογραφία 10 λεπτών για την ομάδα παρέμβασης, ενώ η ομάδα ελέγχου παρακολούθησε το τυπικό μάθημα χωρίς καμία παρέμβαση. Οι συμμετέχοντες αξιολογήθηκαν στις επιτελικές λειτουργίες (γνωστική ευελιξία, ανασταλτικό έλεγχο και εργαζόμενη μνήμη) και στους νοερούς μαθηματικούς υπολογισμούς. Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα η ομάδα παρέμβασης παρουσίασε σημαντικά καλύτερες επιδόσεις στην εργαζόμενη μνήμη και στη γνωστική ευελιξία. Επίσης, σε σχέση με τα μαθηματικά δεν εμφανίστηκαν διαφορές μεταξύ των δυο ομάδων, ωστόσο, η ομάδα παρέμβασης εμφάνισε σημαντική βελτίωση. Το συμπέρασμα της έρευνας είναι ότι ένα πρόγραμμα σύντομου ενεργητικού διαλείμματος έχει θετική επίδραση στην εργαζόμενη μνήμη, τη γνωστική ευελιξία και ίσως στην επίδοση των νοερών μαθηματικών υπολογισμών παιδιών πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης.
description: The purpose of the research was to examine the effect of an interventional physical activity break program in the classroom on the executive functions as well as on the mental calculations of the students. The sample consisted of 32 male and female students of the 6th grade of a primary school. The separation of the groups was done randomly with the 17 students forming the intervention group and the 15 students in the control group. The program included a 10-minute choreography for the intervention group while the control group attended the standard class without any intervention. The participants were assessed in the executive functions (working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility) as well as in the mathematical mental calculations. According to the results the intervention group showed significant better performance in working memory and cognitive flexibility. Moreover, in relation to mathematical mental calculations the intervention group showed significant better improvements. The conclusion of the study is that an active break program has positive effects on working memory and cognitive flexibility and perhaps on mathematical mental calculations of primary education children.

description: The recent progress in the analytical solution of models invented to describe theoretically the interaction of matter with light on an atomic scale is reviewed. The methods employ the classical theory of linear differential equations in the complex domain (Fuchsian equations). The linking concept is provided by the Bargmann Hilbert space of analytic functions, which is isomorphic to $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, the standard Hilbert space for a single continuous degree of freedom in quantum mechanics. I give the solution of the quantum Rabi model in some detail and sketch the solution of its generalization, the asymmetric Dicke model. Characteristic properties of the respective spectra are derived directly from the singularity structure of the corresponding system of differential equations.

Polarization

description: The polarization state of electromagnetic radiation scattered by atmospheric particles such as aerosols, cloud droplets, or ice crystals contains much more information about the optical and microphysical properties than the total intensity alone. For this reason an increasing number of polarimetric observations are performed from space, from the ground and from aircraft. Polarized radiative transfer models are required to interpret and analyse these measurements and to develop retrieval algorithms exploiting polarimetric observations. In the last years a large number of new codes have been developed, mostly for specific applications. Benchmark results are available for specific cases, but not for more sophisticated scenarios including polarized surface reflection and multi-layer atmospheres. The International Polarized Radiative Transfer (IPRT) working group of the International Radiation Commission (IRC) has initiated a model intercomparison project in order to fill this gap. This paper presents the results of the first phase A of the IPRT project which includes ten test cases, from simple setups with only one layer and Rayleigh scattering to rather sophisticated setups with a cloud embedded in a standard atmosphere above an ocean surface. All scenarios in the first phase A of the intercomparison project are for a one-dimensional plane–parallel model geometry. The commonly established benchmark results are available at the IPRT website (http://www.meteo.physik.uni-muenchen.de/iprt).

Constructing the Spaces of Contact: Native Captives and Commoners in Sixteenth-Century La Florida
Creators: name: Lauersdorf, Aubrey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Although scholars have examined the interactions between the Hernando de Soto expedition and the Native elite who governed the hierarchical chiefdoms of La Florida, oft-overlooked Native commoners were foundational to this early Spanish imperial effort. Native commoners often constructed the spaces of contact between the expedition and local peoples. As guides to an army fully unfamiliar with the region, Native commoners determined the social spaces in which the Spaniards existed, influencing where the expedition traveled, with whom it interacted, and how this interaction transpired. Aware of Spanish reliance on Native knowledge of the region, other Native commoners described space in the abstract as a means to manipulate the expedition. Because the de Soto expedition generally acted as a destabilizing presence, Native commoners also possessed the capacity to uphold the security of their own province and undermine the security of adversarial provinces through these efforts.

description: The vortex coronagraph is an optical instrument that precisely removes on-axis starlight allowing for high contrast imaging at small angular separation from the star, thereby providing a crucial capability for direct detection and characterization of exoplanets and circumstellar disks. Telescopes with aperture obstructions, such as secondary mirrors and spider support structures, require advanced coronagraph designs to provide adequate starlight suppression. We introduce a phase-only Lyot-plane optic to the vortex coronagraph that offers improved contrast performance on telescopes with complicated apertures. Potential solutions for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) are described and compared. Adding a Lyot-plane phase mask relocates residual starlight away from a region of the image plane thereby reducing stellar noise and improving sensitivity to off-axis companions. The phase mask is calculated using an iterative phase retrieval algorithm. Numerically, we achieve a contrast on the order of $10^{-6}$ for a companion with angular displacement as small as $4~λ/D$ with an E-ELT type aperture. Even in the presence of aberrations, improved performance is expected compared to either a conventional vortex coronagraph or optimized pupil plane phase element alone.

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

description: CAD/CAM technology has opened many doors for dental restoration fabrication. Improvements in intraoral scanning technology and the use of newer esthetic materials have brought many questions to the forefront. Concerns over restoration fit and quality have been expressed, as well as accuracy of digital methods involved for crown fabrication. This clinical study examined three different crown materials for posterior teeth in need of full coverage restoration. Crown preparations were scanned intraorally using the E4D or iTero scanner and crowns digitally designed and fabricated. Teeth received porcelain fused to metal, lithium disilicate or monolithic zirconia restorations. Gingival parameters and modified USPHS criteria were recorded for each crown and marginal integrity was examined using micro-CT analysis. An 18.8% rejection rate was noted for crowns due to poor marginal adaptation. Overall, acceptable results were obtained for all three systems.

description: The Collection 6 (C6) MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) land and atmosphere data sets are scheduled for release in 2014. C6 contains significant revisions of the calibration approach to account for sensor aging. This analysis documents the presence of systematic temporal trends in the visible and near-infrared (500 m) bands of the Collection 5 (C5) MODIS Terra and, to lesser extent, in MODIS Aqua geophysical data sets. Sensor degradation is largest in the blue band (B3) of the MODIS sensor on Terra and decreases with wavelength. Calibration degradation causes negative global trends in multiple MODIS C5 products including the dark target algorithm's aerosol optical depth over land and Ångström exponent over the ocean, global liquid water and ice cloud optical thickness, as well as surface reflectance and vegetation indices, including the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and enhanced vegetation index (EVI). As the C5 production will be maintained for another year in parallel with C6, one objective of this paper is to raise awareness of the calibration-related trends for the broad MODIS user community. The new C6 calibration approach removes major calibrations trends in the Level 1B (L1B) data. This paper also introduces an enhanced C6+ calibration of the MODIS data set which includes an additional polarization correction (PC) to compensate for the increased polarization sensitivity of MODIS Terra since about 2007, as well as detrending and Terra–Aqua cross-calibration over quasi-stable desert calibration sites. The PC algorithm, developed by the MODIS ocean biology processing group (OBPG), removes residual scan angle, mirror side and seasonal biases from aerosol and surface reflectance (SR) records along with spectral distortions of SR. Using the multiangle implementation of atmospheric correction (MAIAC) algorithm over deserts, we have also developed a detrending and cross-calibration method which removes residual decadal trends on the order of several tenths of 1% of the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance in the visible and near-infrared MODIS bands B1–B4, and provides a good consistency between the two MODIS sensors. MAIAC analysis over the southern USA shows that the C6+ approach removed an additional negative decadal trend of Terra ?NDVI ~ 0.01 as compared to Aqua data. This change is particularly important for analysis of vegetation dynamics and trends in the tropics, e.g., Amazon rainforest, where the morning orbit of Terra provides considerably more cloud-free observations compared to the afternoon Aqua measurements.

description: There is a proposal to search for a sterile neutrino in a few keV mass range by the "Troitsk nu-mass" facility. In order to estimate sterile neutrino mixing one needs to make precision spectrum measurements well below the endpoint using the existing electrostatic spectrometer with a magnetic adiabatic collimation, or MAC-E filter. The expected signature will be a kink in the electron energy spectrum in tritium beta-decay. In this article we consider the systematic effect of electron backscattering on the detector used in the spectrometer. For this purpose we provide a set of Monte-Carlo simulation results of electron backscattering on a silicon detector with a thin golden window with realistic electric and magnetic fields in the spectrometer. We have found that the probability of such an effect reaches up to 20-30\%. The scattered electron could be reflected backwards to the detector by electrostatic field or by magnetic mirror. There is also a few percent probability to escape from the spectrometer through its entrance. A time delay between the scattering moment on the detector and the return of the reflected electron can reach a couple of microseconds in the Troitsk spectrometer. Such estimations are critical for the planning upgrades of the detector and the registration electronics.

description: Patient navigation is a novel model of care that aims to address the complex nature of navigating the healthcare system for patients with chronic conditions. Currently, there is no consensus on what professions are best suited to serve as patient navigators for specific patient contexts, with little research on this topic in the context of occupational therapy. To bridge this gap, this scoping review will synthesise the current literature on occupational therapists in patient navigation programs and the outcomes of such programs for individuals with chronic conditions. We will utilize Arksey and O’Malley’s five-stage framework for scoping reviews. Risk of bias will be assessed and data will be analyzed descriptively. Dissemination will include peer-reviewed publications and conference abstracts in rehabilitation, occupational therapy and health system-specific contexts. We will also share our findings with OTs and other patient navigators and their managers at a large urban hospital.

Polarization

description: A new polarized radiative transfer code Atmospheric Polarization Computations (APC) is described. The code is based on separation of the diffuse light field into anisotropic and smooth (regular) parts. The anisotropic part is computed analytically. The smooth regular part is computed numerically using the discrete ordinates method. Vertical stratification of the atmosphere, common types of bidirectional surface reflection and scattering by spherical particles or spheroids are included. A particular consideration is given to computation of the bidirectional polarization distribution function (BPDF) of the waved ocean surface.

description: Introduction: Lawrence F. Andrews introduced the first Straight Wire Appliance over 40 years ago to increase the consistency and efficiency of orthodontic treatment. More recently, CAD/CAM technology has been utilized to create individualized orthodontic appliances. The purpose of this study is to investigate the clinical effectiveness and efficiency of CAD/CAM customized orthodontic appliances compared to direct and indirect bonded stock orthodontic brackets. Methods: This retrospective study included 3 treatment groups: Group1 patients were direct bonded with self-ligation (Ormco® Damon Q) appliances, Group 2 patients were indirect bonded with self-ligation (Ormco® Damon Q) appliances, and Group 3 patients were indirect bonded with CAD/CAM self-ligation (Ormco® Insignia SL) appliances. Complete pre- and post-treatment records were obtained for all cases. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) Discrepancy Index was used to evaluate pre-treatment records, while post-treatment case outcomes were analyzed using the ABO Cast/Radiograph Evaluation. All data collection and analysis was completed by a single evaluator (M.B.). Results: There were no statistically significant differences in the ABO Discrepancy Index or ABO Cast/Radiograph Evaluation among the groups. Treatment times for the 3 groups were significantly different, with the CAD/CAM group being the shortest at 13.8±3.4 months, compared to 21.9±5.0 months and 16.9±4.1 months for the Direct bonded and Indirect bonded groups, respectively. The number of treatment appointments for the CAD/CAM group was significantly less than the Direct bonded group. Conclusion: The CAD/CAM designed orthodontic bracket system evaluated in this study was found to be as effective in treatment outcome measures as standard brackets bonded both directly and indirectly. The CAD/CAM appliance was more efficient in regards to treatment duration, though the decrease in total arch wire appointments was minimal. Further investigation is needed to better quantify the clinical benefits of CAD/CAM orthodontic appliances.
