description: From considerations of spin evolution and kinematics in the galactic potential, we argue that the pulsars B1913+16, B1534+12, and B2127+11C may be younger than previously assumed, and we find that a lower bound on the formation and merger rate of close double neutron star binaries is $10^{-6.7} f_b^{-1} f_d^{-1}$ yr$^{-1}$, where $f_b$ is the beaming fraction and $f_d$ accounts for the possibility that the known NS-NS binaries are atypical of the underlying population (e.g., if most such binaries are born with shorter orbital periods). If we assume no prior knowledge of the detectable lifetimes of such systems, the rate could be as large as $\simeq 10^{-5.0} f_b^{-1} f_d^{-1}$ yr$^{-1}$. From both plausible bounds on $f_b$ and $f_d$, and a revision of the independently derived limit proposed by Bailes (1996), we argue that a firm upper bound is $10^{-4}$ yr$^{-1}$. We also present a unifying empirical overview of the spin-up of massive binary pulsars based on their distribution in spin period $P$ and spin-down rate $\dot P$, finding evidence for two distinct spin-up processes, one dominated by disk accretion, the other by wind accretion. We argue that the positions of binary pulsars in the $P$-$\dot P$ diagram can be understood if (1) there exists a Galactic population of pulsars in double neutron star systems with combinations of spin and orbital periods that have prevented their detection in surveys to date; (2) recycled pulsars in wide-orbit binaries are not born near the canonical spin-up line in the $P$-$\dot P$ diagram because they were predominantly spun up through wind accretion; and (3) there exists a disfavored evolutionary endpoint for radio pulsars with spin periods 5--30 ms and $\dot P > 10^{-19}$ s-s$^{-1}$.

Field theoretic operators for multifractal moments

description: While multifractal spectra are convex, general field theoretic arguments show that power of field operators $ϕ^f$ yield a concave spectrum of exponents as function of $f$. This is resolved by appropriate choice of operators to describe multifractal moments. In a Lagrangian field theory of two mutually interacting species of fields $ϕ,ψ$, operators $O_{f'f}=ψ^{f'}ϕ^f$ with traceless symmetry give rise to multifractal spectra of harmonic diffusion near absorbing fractals when evaluated for zero component fields.

description: We study through numerical simulation the Vicsek model for very low speeds and densities. We consider scalar noise in 2-d and 3-d, and vector noise in 3-d. We focus on the behavior of the critical noise with density and speed, trying to clarify seemingly contradictory earlier results. We find that, for scalar noise, the critical noise is a power law both in density and speed, but although we confirm the density exponent in 2-d, we find a speed exponent different from earlier reports (we consider lower speeds than previous studies). On the other hand, for the vector noise case we find that the dependence of the critical noise cannot be separated as a product of power laws in speed and density. Finally, we study the dependence of the relaxation time with speed and find the same power law in 2-d and 3-d, with and exponent that depends on whether the noise is above or below the critical value.

The Bright Side of Dark Matter

description: We show that it is not possible in the absence of dark matter to construct a four-dimensional metric that explains galactic observations. In particular, by working with an effective potential it is shown that a metric which is constructed to fit flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies leads to the wrong sign for the bending of light i.e. repulsion instead of attraction. Hence, without dark matter the motion of particles on galactic scales cannot be explained in terms of geodesic motion on a four- dimensional metric. This reveals a new bright side to dark matter: it is indispensable if we wish to retain the cherished equivalence principle.

description: We study scaling properties of self avoiding polymer stars and networks of arbitrary given but fixed topology. We use massive field theoretical renormalization group framework to calculate critical exponents governing their universal properties (star exponents). Calculations are performed directly in three dimensions, renormalization group functions are obtained in three loop approximation. Resulting asymptotic series for star exponents are resummed with the help of Pade-Borel and conformal mapping transformation.

description: We discuss several problems in quasiclassical physics for which approximate solutions were recently obtained by a new method, and which can also be solved by novel versions of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. These cases include the so-called bouncing ball modes, low angular momentum states in perturbed circular billiards, resonant states in perturbed rectangular billiards, and whispering gallery modes. Some rare, special eigenstates, concentrated close to the edge or along a diagonal of a nearly rectangular billiard are found. This kind of state has apparently previously escaped notice.

description: New experimental results and their physical analysis are presented to clarify the behavior of a relatively stable self-arranged droplet cluster levitating over the locally heated water surface. An external electric field of both opposite directions leads to a significant increase in the rate of a condensational growth of droplets in the cluster. The experimental data are used to estimate a small electrical charge of single droplets and the attraction force of polarized droplets to the water layer. It is confirmed that the interaction between the droplets is governed by aerodynamic forces.

Decoherence of quantum wavepackets due to interaction with conformal spacetime fluctuations

description: One of the biggest problems faced by those attempting to combine quantum theory and general relativity is the experimental inaccessibility of the unification scale. In this paper we show how incoherent conformal waves in the gravitational field, which may be produced by quantum mechanical zero-point fluctuations, interact with the wavepackets of massive particles. The result of this interaction is to produce decoherence within the wavepackets which could be accessible in experiments at the atomic scale. Using a simple model for the coherence properties of the gravitational field we derive an equation for the evolution of the density matrix of such a wavepacket. Following the primary state diffusion programme, the most promising source of spacetime fluctuations for detection are the above zero-point energy fluctuations. According to our model, the absence of intrinsic irremoveable decoherence in matter interferometry experiments puts bounds on some of the parameters of quantum gravity theories. Current experiments give λ> 18. , where λt_{Planck} is an effective cut-off for the validity of low-energy quantum gravity theories.

Viral Quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 and KSHV for Assay Optimization and Diagnostics
Creators: name: Cano, Patricio
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Viral load assays are an essential tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of viral infections. The development, improvement, and accessibility of viral load assays play a crucial role in measuring the amount of virus in a patient sample and providing valuable information regarding disease progression and response to treatment. While many SARS-CoV-2 viral load assays are available, it is important to optimize the selection and performance of these assays to ensure accurate and reliable results. Additionally, there are currently no FDA-approved KSHV viral load assays on the market, highlighting an unfulfilled niche in this area. As new viruses emerge and evolve, the development and improvement of viral load assays will continue to play a crucial role in our ability to diagnose and treat viral infections. This thesis introduces a set of standards and considerations for assessing viral load assays used in clinical and research applications.

description: The galactic halo likely grew over time in part by assembling smaller galaxies, the so-called building blocks. We investigate if the properties of these building blocks are reflected in the halo white dwarf (WD) population in the Solar neighborhood. Furthermore, we compute the halo WD luminosity functions (WDLFs) for four major building blocks of five cosmologically motivated stellar haloes. We couple the SeBa binary population synthesis model to the Munich-Groningen semi-analytic galaxy formation model, applied to the high-resolution Aquarius dark matter simulations. Although the semi-analytic model assumes an instantaneous recycling approximation, we model the evolution of zero-age main sequence stars to WDs, taking age and metallicity variations of the population into account. Although the majority of halo stars is old and metal-poor and therefore the WDs in the different building blocks have similar properties (including present-day luminosity), we find in our models that the WDs originating from building blocks that have young and/or metal-rich stars can be distinguished from WDs that were born in other building blocks. In practice however, it will be hard to prove that these WDs really originate from different building blocks, as the variations in the halo WD population due to binary WD mergers result in similar effects. The five joined stellar halo WD populations that we modelled result in WDLFs that are very similar to each other. We find that simple models with a Kroupa or Salpeter initial mass function (IMF) fit the observed luminosity function slightly better, since the Chabrier IMF is more top-heavy, although this result is dependent on our choice of the stellar halo mass density in the Solar neighborhood.

description: Discrete breathers (nonlinear localised modes) have been shown to exist in various nonlinear Hamiltonian lattice systems. In the present paper we study the dynamics of classical spins interacting via Heisenberg exchange on spatial $d$-dimensional lattices (with and without the presence of single-ion anisotropy). We show that discrete breathers exist for cases when the continuum theory does not allow for their presence (easy-axis ferromagnets with anisotropic exchange and easy-plane ferromagnets). We prove the existence of localised excitations using the implicit function theorem and obtain necessary conditions for their existence. The most interesting case is the easy-plane one which yields excitations with locally tilted magnetisation. There is no continuum analogue for such a solution and there exists an energy threshold for it, which we have estimated analytically. We support our analytical results with numerical high-precision computations, including also a stability analysis for the excitations.

description: This paper presents evolutionary methods for optimization in dynamic mobile robot path planning. In dynamic mobile path planning, the goal is to find an optimal feasible path from starting point to target point with various obstacles, as well as smoothness and safety in the proposed path. Pattern search (PS) algorithm, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) are used to find an optimal path for mobile robots to reach to target point with obstacle avoidance. For showing the success of the proposed method, first they are applied to two different paths with a dynamic environment in obstacles. The first results show that the PSO algorithms are converged and minimize the objective function better that the others, while PS has the lower time compared to other algorithms in the initial and modified environment. The second test path is in the z-type environment that we compare the mentioned algorithms on it. Also in this environment, the same result is repeated.
EVALUATING EUROPEAN UNION FOREIGN POLICY: THE QUESTION OF NORTHERN IRELAND
Creators: name: Waters, Alexander Lee

description: The European Union (EU) has played an increasing role in Northern Ireland since the2016 Brexit referendum. The passage of the Northern Ireland Protocol and further EU policyproduces substantial effects on the region. With a historic religious cleavage evident in theregion, peace preservation is critical. An agreement between the EU and the United Kingdom isnecessary to maintain the standard of peace established over 25 years ago. The Northern IrelandProtocol has fully developed over the previous three years and was designed with peacepreservation in mind. Stemming from Ingo Peters’ book, “The European Union's Foreign Policyin Comparative Perspective,” an analysis of the Northern Ireland Protocol is conducted. I findthat the Northern Ireland Protocol was clearly successful in the formulation and implementationstage. I argue that the overall impact and objectives set out by the EU for Northern Ireland werenot accomplished and deliver mixed results.
Parametric study of cycle modulation in laser driven ion beams and acceleration field retrieval at femtosecond time scale

description: High frequency modulations appearing in the kinetic energy distribution of laser accelerated ions are proposed for retrieving the acceleration field dynamics at femtosecond time scale. Such an approach becomes possible if the laser-cycling field modulates the particle density in the ion spectra and produces quasi time stamps for analysis. We investigate target and laser parameters determining this effect and discuss the dependencies of the observed modulation. Our findings refine a basic mechanism, the Target Normal Sheath Acceleration, where an intense and ultrafast laser pulse produces a very strong electrical field at a plasma-vacuum interface. The field decays rapidly due to energy dissipation and forms a characteristic spectrum of fast ions streaming away from the interface. We show that the derived decay function of the field is in accordance with model predictions of the accelerating field structure. Our findings are supported by 2-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The knowledge of the femtosecond field dynamics helps to rerate optimization strategies for laser ion acceleration.

A new conformal duality of spherically symmetric space-times

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A contribution linear in r to the gravitational potential can be created by a suitable conformal duality transformation: the conformal factor is 1/(1+r)^2 and r will be replaced by r/(1+r), where r is the Schwarzschild radial coordinate. Thus, every spherically symmetric solution of conformal Weyl gravity is conformally related to an Einstein space. This result finally resolves a long controversy about this topic. As a byproduct, we present an example of a spherically symmetric Einstein space which is a limit of a sequence of Schwarzschild-de Sitter space-times but which fails to be expressable in Schwarzschild coordinates. This example also resolves a long controversy.

description: Kepler-408 is one of the 33 planet-hosting {\it Kepler} stars for which asteroseismology has been used to investigate the orientation of the stellar rotation axis relative to the planetary orbital plane. The transiting "hot Earth," Kepler-408b, has an orbital period of 2.5 days and a radius of $0.86$~$R_\oplus$, making it much smaller than the planets for which spin-orbit alignment has been studied using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect. Because conflicting asteroseismic results have been reported in the literature, we undertake a thorough re-appraisal of this system and perform numerous checks for consistency and robustness. We find that the conflicting results are due to the different models for the low-frequency noise in the power spectrum. A careful treatment of the background noise resolves these conflicts, and shows that the stellar inclination is $\is=42^{+5}_{-4}$ degrees. Kepler-408b is, by far, the smallest planet known to have a significantly misaligned orbit.

Intra-Organizational Mobility, Deviance, and Abusive Priest Relocation within the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston
Creators: name: Wertsching, Jenna L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: From Enron to Watergate to Penn State, scandals have long captured the attention of the public and scholars alike.  While the respective accounting fraud, wiretapping, and sexual abuse were publicly denounced, it was the accompanying cover-up – file shredding, intended interference with FBI investigation, and failure to report the known abuser – that compounded public outcry.  Despite public interest in cover-up, recent scholarship has primarily focused on the role of the media in the scandalization process. In this paper, I argue that it is not only the media but also deviant organizations themselves that affect the scandalization process by enacting strategies to prevent information leakage about misconduct. Through a case study of the movement of priests in the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston from 1930-1990, I demonstrate how organizations use the existing process of worker rotation to strategically relocate deviant individuals, potentially moderating public knowledge of misconduct. By recreating historical movement networks of accused and non-accused priests, I both descriptively and statistically show that priest accusation status is related to movement patterns. This study contributes understanding of how organizations move workers accused of misconduct and proposes that organizational action should be considered in the scandalization process.

description: Investigations of counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow (TCF) in the narrow gap limit are conducted in a very large aspect ratio apparatus. The phase diagram is presented and compared to that obtained by Andereck et al. The spiral turbulence regime is studied by varying both internal and external Reynolds numbers. Spiral turbulence is shown to emerge from the fully turbulent regime via a continuous transition appearing first as a modulated turbulent state, which eventually relaxes locally to the laminar flow. The connection with the intermittent regimes of the plane Couette flow (pCf) is discussed.
ANALYSIS OF INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORT RESEARCH THROUGH CONTENT ANALYSIS OF THE JOURNAL OF INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORT AND THE JOURNAL OF ISSUES IN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Creators: name: Rudd, Ellie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Content analysis has been performed previously in sport research, but rarely with a focus in intercollegiate athletics (Balduck et al. 2004, Dart, 2014; Oddy & Bason, 2017; Williams et al., 2020). In the post COVID-19 era, college athletics needs particular focus, as it is experiencing an onslaught of reform in policy and athlete empowerment. This study addresses this gap in the literature, using multiple journals to obtain a well-rounded perspective of the academic work published on intercollegiate athletics. The purpose of this study is to explore the topics and theories utilized to study intercollegiate athletics in order examine evolution of academic discourse, using a content analysis of articles published in the fifteen-year history (2008-2023) of The Journal of Intercollegiate Sport (JIS) and The Journal of Issues in Intercollegiate Athletics (JIIA).Sport in the Social Context accounted for over half of the work (51%), indicating a high focus on investigating the experience of the individuals involved in intercollegiate athletics in the context of their identity. This conclusion can also be seen through the high prevalence of psychological and sociological theory used to evaluate sport: specifically, the high usage of Social Identity Theory, Critical Race Theory, and Role Theory. This indicates that JIAA and JIS have achieved their goal in publishing interdisciplinary work focusing on core values of higher education. It also emphasizes a priority in studying the humans involved in intercollegiate athletics and their ability to function cohesively.
ETHNIC CONFLICTS AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL AGGRESSION: A MILITARY ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SERB-ALBANIAN DYNAMIC
Creators: name: Pëllumb, Shala
Publisher: name: Wiedza Obronna
Year: 2023

description: This analysis examines the multi-layered nature of the historical Serbian-Albanian conflict through the lens of military anthropology within international relations. The conflict between Serbs and Albanians, which endured for over a century with periodic pauses, finally ended in mid-1999 when NATO troops intervened in Kosovo. The intervention aimed to halt the atrocities committed against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Despite the war ending over 20 years ago, the lasting effects of this prolonged conflict are still evident in present-day narratives and physical symbols throughout both states. This article will examine the factors contributing to the ongoing anthropological aggression against the Albanians of Kosovo over the past century. Specifically, we will consider political developments from the end of the 19th century to today, focusing on Serbian nationalism and its influential proponents. Seeking to identify patterns of nationalist sentiment that led to a hostile narrative towards Albanians, this study unravels a web of historical, political and social factors that shape the milieu. Using military anthropology, we provide insight into the complex context of the long-running conflict and offer a range of differentiated perspectives that are relevant today.

description: This paper reviews the application of coherent acoustic phonons in the form of piezoelectrically-generated surface acoustic waves to control the response of integrated photonic acousto-optic waveguide structures. We first address the fundamental properties of the acoustic fields in piezoelectric materials as well as the piezoelectric generation of surface acoustic waves using interdigital transducers. The mechanism responsible for the interaction between light and the acoustic modes in the photonic waveguide structures and the modulation of the response of the devices is carefully reviewed. Next, we discuss the most important developments in the field of integrated acousto-optical device applications, with focus on devices built upon three-dimensional optical waveguides. Finally, prospects for acousto-optic device applications by use of surface acoustic waves are summarized.

description: We provide a simple analytic formula in terms of elementary functions for the Laplace transform j_{l}(p) of the spherical Bessel function than that appearing in the literature, and we show that any such integral transform is a polynomial of order l in the variable p with constant coefficients for the first l-1 powers, and with an inverse tangent function of argument 1/p as the coefficient of the power l. We apply this formula for the Laplace transform of the memory function related to the Langevin equation in a one-dimensional Debye model.

From Taxonomy to Regulation: Political Artificial Intelligence Risks and Regulatory Measures in the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act
Creators: name: Arda, Sinan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Technological innovations have shown remarkable capabilities to benefit and harm society alike. Artificial Intelligence (AI) constitutes a democratized sophisticated technology accessible to large parts of society, including malicious actors. This work proposes a risk taxonomy that focuses on the political risks associated with AI. It identifies 12 risks in total divided into four categories: (1) Geopolitical Pressures, (2) Malicious Usage, (3) Environmental, Social, and Ethical Risks, and (4) Privacy and Trust Violations. Additionally, it conducts a policy assessment of the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act. Adopted in March 2023, the landmark regulation has the potential to have a positive top-down impact concerning AI risk reduction but needs regulatory adjustments to mitigate risks more comprehensively.
Turbulent channel flow of finite-size spherical particles with viscous hyper-elastic walls

description: We study single-phase and particulate turbulent channel flows, bounded by two incompressible hyper-elastic walls. Different wall elasticities are considered with and without a 10% volume fraction of finite-size rigid spherical particles, while elastic walls are modelled as a neo-Hookean material. We report a significant drag increase and an enhancement of the turbulence activity with growing wall elasticity for both single-phase and particulate cases in comparison with the single-phase flow over rigid walls. A drag reduction and a turbulence attenuation is obtained for the particulate cases with highly elastic walls, albeit with respect to the single-phase flow of the same wall elasticity; whereas, an opposite effect of the particles is observed on the flow of the less elastic walls. This is explained by investigating the near-wall turbulence of highly elastic walls, where the strong asymmetry in the magnitude of wall-normal velocity fluctuations (favouring the positive), is found to push the particles towards the channel centre. The particle layer close to the wall is shown to contribute to the turbulence production by increasing the wall-normal velocity fluctuations, while in the absence of this layer, smaller wall deformation and in turn a turbulence attenuation is observed. We further address the effect of the volume fraction at a moderate wall elasticity, by increasing the particle volume fraction up to 20%. Migration of the particles from the interface region is found to be the cause of a further turbulence attenuation, in comparison to the same volume fraction in the case of rigid walls. However, the particle induced stress compensates for the loss of the Reynolds shear stress, thus, resulting in a higher overall drag for the case with elastic walls. The effect of wall-elasticity on the drag is reported to reduce significantly with increasing volume fraction of particles.
UKRAINIAN CITIES UNDER RUSSIAN SIEGE/OCCUPATION: THE OPTICS OF UKRAINIAN DRAMATURGY 2022/2023
Creators: name: Bondarewa, Olena
Publisher: name: Wiedza Obronna
Year: 2023

description: An axiological-anthropological exploration of how the war was experienced in the besieged/occupied Ukrainian cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel, and Mariupol will be conducted based on the material from plays by over 50 contemporary Ukrainian playwrights. The Russian intent to capture Kyiv in 3 days removed the artificially imposed question of Ukraine as a decentralized territory with "first," "second," and "third" capitals. Consequently, in dramaturgy, Kyiv naturally emerges as the sole sacred center, the fall of which must not be allowed. Therefore, the most devastating blows are borne by the Kyiv agglomeration, within which the tragedies of Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel, and other cities, towns, and villages along the roads to Kyiv, measure not only the existential cost of Ukraine's survival and the resilience of the Ukrainian capital but also the world's perception of the war in Ukraine. Dramaturgy interprets and contemporizes the ancient-medieval topos of a besieged city-fortress, where the celestial level of threat/death (rockets, bombs, enemy aviation, the sound of air raid sirens from speakers positioned high on poles), the earthly level of self-sacrifice, involvement in defense, and clear identification of "us" and "them" are emphasized. Additionally, the underground level of rescue (basements, shelters, subway stations) and the formation of a new community of solidarity, trust, and mutual assistance are explored. In this topos, numerous Ukrainians metaphorically immerse themselves deeply, recalling and vocalizing age-old collective traumas, actualizing the history of their lineage, and recalling the stories of their grandmothers/great-grandmothers, who endured not only previous world wars but also the Holodomor, Bolshevik repressions, deportations, and forced Russification. Furthermore, new topos of the occupied and entirely destroyed city will be considered in Ukrainian dramatic writing. In the first case, the focus will be on the anthropology of resistance, while in the second, the exploration will revolve around ghost cities and the visualized dream of their revival and practices of memorialization.
