The Ultimate Adventure: Exploring the Religious Roots and Gender Politics of Victorian Era Children’s Adventure Fiction
Creators: name: Elizabeth Fletcher Garland Rieman
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This paper investigates the religious influences and gender complications of the children’s adventure fiction genre that overtook the publishing industry in the late Victorian Era in England. By tracing how children’s literature evolved from religious and morally instructive beginnings to a unified literary genre, to a suddenly segregated platform by the year 1900, I place a particular emphasis on how the Church of England and female authors fit themselves into the equation. Relying on multiple scholarly intersections, my research takes an interdisciplinary approach through a variety of in-depth case studies. These case studies include a review of early chapbooks, religious children's periodicals and select missionary writings in addition to a close reading of author Edith Nesbit's adventure novel, The Story of the Amulet (1906). From these case studies, I argue that as the deeply rooted relationship between women and the Church of England continued while the Church’s relationship to the publishing industry grew, so too did these women writer’s ability to push gender stereotypes, despite their continued operation in a traditional familial context. Therefore, as this paper states, this is not an instance of how women wrote the Empire, but an instance of how women rewrote themselves through the adventure fiction they penned throughout the century.

description: This article considers the positive integers $N$ for which $ζ_{N}(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{N} n^{-s}$ has zeroes in the half-plane $\Re(s)>1$. Building on earlier results, we show that there are no zeroes for $1\leq N\leq 18$ and for $N=20, 21, 28$. For all other $N$ there are infinitely many zeroes.

description: In a recent paper Jones introduced a correspondence between elements of the Thompson group $F$ and certain graphs/links. It follows from his work that several polynomial invariants of links, such as the Kauffman bracket, can be reinterpreted as coefficients of certain unitary representations of $F$. We give a somewhat different and elementary proof of this fact for the Kauffman bracket evaluated at certain roots of unity by means of a statistical mechanics model interpretation. Moreover, by similar methods we show that, for some particular specializations of the variables, other familiar link invariants and graph polynomials, namely the number of $N$-colourings and the Tutte polynomial, can be viewed as positive definite functions on $F$.

Algorithmic Bias: The Effect of Discriminatory Agent on Emotional Outcomes
Creators: name: Desman Wilson
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Algorithms are automating many tasks that were previously handled by humans. In some domains, algorithms present a way to reduce bias in the future. However, in other domains, algorithms show substantial bias. In this study, we examine differences in the emotional outcomes of those discriminated against by algorithms and those discriminated against by humans. To do this, we have participants believe that either a human agent or an algorithm is preventing them from having the opportunity to participate in a well-paid survey. Results show no main effects of discriminatory agent on measured emotional outcomes. However, results do show a moderation by gender such that women experience worse emotional outcomes than men when humans discriminate against them. This research is crucial in understanding how discriminatory decisions made by algorithms can cause different emotional outcomes than discriminatory decisions made by humans.

description: We investigate the evolution of the chiral magnetic instability in a protoneutron star and compute the resulting magnetic power and helicity spectra. The instability may act during the early cooling phase of the hot protoneutron star after supernova core collapse, where it can contribute to the buildup of magnetic fields of strength up to the order of $10^{14}$ G. The maximal field strengths generated by this instability, however, depend considerably on the temperature of the protoneutron star, on density fluctuations and turbulence spectrum of the medium. At the end of the hot cooling phase the magnetic field tends to be concentrated around the submillimeter to cm scale, where it is subject to slow resistive damping.

description: We introduce and study several new topological operads that should be regarded as nonsymmetric analogues of the operads of little 2-disks, framed little 2-disks, and Deligne-Mumford compactifications of moduli spaces of genus zero curves with marked points. These operads exhibit all the remarkable algebraic and geometric features that their classical analogues possess; in particular, it is possible to define a noncommutative analogue of the notion of cohomological field theory with similar Givental-type symmetries. This relies on rich geometry of the analogues of the Deligne-Mumford spaces, coming from the fact that they admit several equivalent interpretations: as the toric varieties of Loday's realisations of the associahedra, as the brick manifolds recently defined by Escobar, and as the De Concini-Procesi wonderful models for certain subspace arrangements.

description: This paper introduces a statistical and other analysis of peer reviewers in order to approach their "quality" through some quantification measure, thereby leading to some quality metrics. Peer reviewer reports for the Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society are examined. The text of each report has first to be adapted to word counting software in order to avoid jargon inducing confusion when searching for the word frequency: e.g. C must be distinguished, depending if it means Carbon or Celsius, etc. Thus, every report has to be carefully "rewritten". Thereafter, the quantity, variety and distribution of words are examined in each report and compared to the whole set. Two separate months, according when reports came in, are distinguished to observe any possible hidden spurious effects. Coherence is found. An empirical distribution is searched for through a Zipf-Pareto rank-size law. It is observed that peer review reports are very far from usual texts in this respect. Deviations from the usual (first) Zipf's law are discussed. A theoretical suggestion for the "best (or worst) report" and by extension "good (or bad) reviewer", within this context, is provided from an entropy argument, through the concept of "distance to average" behavior. Another entropy-based measure also allows to measure the journal reviews (whence reviewers) for further comparison with other journals through their own reviewer reports.

Radiation from a $D$-dimensional collision of gravitational shock waves

description: Classically, if two highly boosted particles collide head-on, a black hole is expected to form whose mass may be inferred from the gravitational radiation emitted during the collision. If this occurs at trans-Planckian energies, it should be well described by general relativity. Furthermore, if there exist hidden extra dimensions, the fundamental Planck mass may well be of the order of the TeV and thus achievable with current or future particle accelerators. By modeling the colliding particles as Aichelburg-Sexl shock waves on a flat, $D$-dimensional background, we devise a perturbative framework to compute the space-time metric in the future of the collision. Then, a generalisation of Bondi's formalism is employed to extract the gravitational radiation and compute the inelasticity of the collision: the percentage of the initial centre-of-mass energy that is radiated away. Using the axial symmetry of the problem, we show that this information is encoded in a single function of the transverse metric components - the news function. We then unveil a hidden conformal symmetry which exists at each order in perturbation theory and thus makes the problem effectively two-dimensional. Moreover, it allows for the factorisation of the angular dependence of the news function, i.e. the radiation pattern at null infinity, and clarifies the correspondence between the perturbative series of the metric and an angular expansion off the collision axis. The first-order estimate, or isotropic term, is computed analytically and yields a remarkable simple formula for the inelasticity for any $D$. Higher-order terms, however, require the use of a computer for numerical integration. We study the integration domain and compute, numerically, the Green's functions and the sources, thus paving the way for the computation of the inelasticity in a future work.

Perceived availability and efficacy of in-school prevention programs: Association with school counselor well-being
Creators: name: Blow, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: School counselors are at risk of burnout, stress, and poor job satisfaction because of high caseloads and perceived lack of support in the form of school-wide programs. This study examined the relationship between school counselor perceptions of availability and efficacy of in-school bullying and substance abuse prevention programs and the positive and negative emotions, accomplishment, and engagement they experience in the workplace. A total of 814 school counselors completed an online questionnaire about perceived availability and efficacy of bullying and substance abuse programs and their own positive emotions, negative emotions, engagement, and accomplishment of their workplace experiences. The study found that positive emotion was significantly associated with the perceived availability of bullying prevention and substance abuse prevention programs, such that school counselors perceiving more availability of these programs reported more positive emotions related to their work. A significant relationship between availability of programs and negative emotions, engagement, and accomplishment was not supported.

description: The simultaneous presence of seemingly incompatible properties of solids often provides a unique opportunity to address questions of fundamental and practical importance. The coexistence of ferroelectric and topological orders is one such example. Ferroelectrics, which have a spontaneous macroscopic polarization switchable by an applied electric field, usually are semiconductors with a well-developed wide band gap with a few exceptions. On the other hand, time-reversal symmetric $Z_2$ topological insulators (TI), characterized by robust metallic surface states protected by the topology of the bulk, usually are narrow-gap semiconductors ($< 0.7$ eV) which allow band inversion induced by the spin-orbit interaction. To date, a ferroelectric topological insulator (FETI) has remained elusive, owing to the seemingly contradictory characters of the ferroelectric and topological orders. Here, we report that the FETI can be realized in halide perovskite CsPbI$_3$ under strain. Our first-principles study reveals that a non-centrosymmetric ferroelectric structure of CsPbI$_3$ is energetically favored under a wide range of pressures, while maintaining its topological order. The proposed FETI is characterized by switchable polar surfaces with spin-momentum locked Dirac cones, which allows for electric-field control of topological surface states (TSSs) and the surface spin current. Our demonstration of a FETI in a feasible material opens doors for future studies combining ferroelectric and topological orders, and offers a new paradigm for diverse applications in electronics, spintronics, and quantum information.

description: This paper describes a rare phenomenon of multi-conformers caused by conformational change of A-ring in the C18- and C19- N-dealkyl diterpenoid alkaloids. The possible reasons for the generation of multiple conformational isomers are complex, which could be affected by the substituents at C-1, C-3, C-13, C-14, and C-15, pH, solvents, the intramolecular hydrogen bond between 1α-OCH3/1α-OH and N-H groups, acid-base treatment, preparation methods, and work-up procedures.
The Hawking cascade from a black hole is extremely sparse

description: The Hawking flux from a black hole, (at least as seen from asymptotic infinity), is extremely sparse and thin, with the average time between emission of the successive Hawking quanta being many times larger than the natural timescale set by the energies of the emitted quanta. While this result has been known for over 30 years, it has largely been forgotten. We shall focus on the early-stage low-temperature regime, and shall confront numerical estimates with semi-analytic approximations based on a naive Planck spectrum. First we shall identify several natural dimensionless figures of merit, and thereby compare the mean time between emission of successive Hawking quanta to several distinct but quite natural timescales that can be associated with the emitted quanta, demonstrating that very large ratios are typical for emission of massless quanta from a Schwarzschild black hole. Furthermore these ratios are independent of the mass of the black hole as it slowly evolves. We shall then show that the situation for the more general Reissner-Nordstrom and generic "dirty'' black holes is even worse, at least as long as the surrounding matter satisfies some suitable energy conditions. The situation for the Kerr and Kerr--Newman black holes (or even for charged particle emission from a Reissner--Nordstrom black hole) is considerably trickier, and depends on a careful accounting of the super-radiant modes. Overall, the Hawking quanta are seen to be dribbling out of the black hole one at a time, in an extremely slow cascade of 2-body decays. Among other things, this implies that the Hawking flux is subject to "shot noise''. Observationally, the Planck spectrum of the Hawking flux can only be determined by collecting and integrating data over a very long timescale. We conclude by connecting these points back to various kinematic aspects of the Hawking evaporation process.
description: V1: 15 pages, 24 references. V2: Significantly revised. Now 24 pages, 3 tables, and 33 references. Added discussion on the limitations of a simple blackbody spectrum for modelling Hawking radiation. Added discussion of numerical estimates based on including the effect of greybody factors. We have also carefully separated out the distinct effects of non-super-radiant and super-radiant modes
Effect of KRAS and mTOR inhibitors on tissue factor gene expression in two human pancreatic cancer cell lines
Creators: name: Lian, Grace
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Tissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane receptor and cofactor of factor (F) VII/VIIa. The TF/FVIIa complex activates the coagulation cascade. It is highly expressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Elevated levels of circulating, tumor-derived TF+ extracellular vesicles are associated with venous thromboembolism in pancreatic cancer. Since hemostasis requires TF, systemic inhibition of TF to reduce VTE risk would lead to severe bleeding. Previous studies reported that the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways regulate TF gene expression in human cancer cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that blocking KRAS and mTOR would reduce TF gene expression in PDAC. We examined the effect of the KRAS inhibitor stabilized alpha helices of son of sevenless 1 (SAH-SOS1A) and the mTOR inhibitor sapanisertib on TF gene expression in two high-TF expressing PDAC cell lines HPAF-II and BxPC-3. We hypothesized that 1) inhibition of KRAS with SAH-SOS1A would reduce TF expression in HPAF-II cells, which contain a constitutively active mutant KRAS, to a greater extent than in BxPC-3, which contains wild-type KRAS, and that 2) mTOR inhibition with sapanisertib would reduce TF expression in both cell lines. HPAF-II and BxPC-3 were treated for 48 hours with either SAH-SOS1A or sapanisertib. Cell viability and growth was measured with a resazurin uptake assay, and total protein concentration was determined using Pierce BCA and DC assays to examine if the inhibitors were toxic. Levels of cellular TF activity were determined using a one-stage coagulation assay. Our study yielded an unexpected result: both inhibitors were toxic to the cells and reduced cell viability, total protein, and TF activity. Taken together, these preliminary studies suggest that the decrease in TF activity in cells treated with either inhibitor is due to cell death rather than a selective inhibition of TF gene expression.
“But Why Can I Only Check Out Five Items?”: Policy Making for Public Patrons in Academic Libraries

description: Public academic libraries have a unique user base. They primarily serve university students and faculty, but are also open to the public due to the nature of their funding and reporting structure. This study looks at the policies and mission statements of the library systems at all post-secondary University of North Carolina member institutions regarding access for public, unaffiliated patrons. The policies and statements were retrieved solely from each institution’s main library’s or library system’s website and analyzed for similarities, discrepancies, trends, and items of interest. The objective of this analysis was to gain a sense for what access looks like for unaffiliated North Carolina citizens at academic UNC system libraries.

description: Passwords are a good idea, in theory. They have the potential to act as a fairly strong gateway. In practice though, passwords are plagued with problems. They are (1) easily shared, (2) trivial to observe and (3) maddeningly elusive when forgotten. While alternatives to passwords have been proposed, none, as yet, have been adopted widely. There seems to be a reluctance to switch from tried and tested passwords to novel alternatives, even if the most glaring flaws of passwords can be mitigated. One argument is that there is not enough investigation into the feasibility of many password alternatives. Graphical authentication mechanisms are a case in point. Therefore, in this paper, we detail the design of two prototype applications that utilise graphical authentication mechanisms. However, when forced to consider the design of such prototypes, we find that pertinent password problems eg. observation of entry, are just that: password problems. We conclude that effective, alternative authentication mechanisms should target authentication scenarios rather than the well-known problems of passwords. This is the only route to wide-spread adoption of alternatives.

description: Chatbots are programs that mimic human conversation using Artificial Intelligence. It has become particularly popular to serve as an ultimate virtual assistant, helping one to complete tasks with answering questions and solving problems. In this paper, I designed an efficient and accurate chatbot, Testbot, which is integrated with a web application to help students prepare interviews for data science. To meet this usability requirement, I deployed and customized an open-source chatbot framework Rasa and set a form of action to keep track of the conversation. Testbot now supports basic functions such as responding to greetings and chitchat and more advanced features that could recognize interview requests, ask for user-generated keywords to retrieve questions from the database, score users’ answers, and send feedback. I demonstrated the application running on a local server with a user interface implemented.

Streaming Media Collection in A Changing Environment: A Content Analysis of Academic Library Collection Development Policies
Creators: name: Guy, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Although most academic libraries offer at least some streaming video, not all collection development policies address streaming video collections. Many policies, however, place an emphasis on electronic collections over their physical counterparts. They also write about preservation of electronic materials, including streaming video. Many policies reflect that their libraries take advantage of the demand driven acquisition models in use by streaming platform vendors to allow their patrons to decide which videos are licensed. Some libraries also offer to convert their DVD holdings to digital format for distance education. Most library collection development policies prioritize responding to patron requests for materials as well as moving away from collecting obsolete formats, which has driven the rise in streaming media collections. Overall, streaming media in libraries presents many challenges as well as opportunities, and it is far from uniformly practiced in academic libraries.

description: Tabular data plays an essential role in many data analytics and machine learning tasks. Typically, tabular data does not possess any machine-readable semantics. In this context, semantic table interpretation is crucial for making data analytics workflows more robust and explainable. This article proposes Tab2KG - a novel method that targets at the interpretation of tables with previously unseen data and automatically infers their semantics to transform them into semantic data graphs. We introduce original lightweight semantic profiles that enrich a domain ontology's concepts and relations and represent domain and table characteristics. We propose a one-shot learning approach that relies on these profiles to map a tabular dataset containing previously unseen instances to a domain ontology. In contrast to the existing semantic table interpretation approaches, Tab2KG relies on the semantic profiles only and does not require any instance lookup. This property makes Tab2KG particularly suitable in the data analytics context, in which data tables typically contain new instances. Our experimental evaluation on several real-world datasets from different application domains demonstrates that Tab2KG outperforms state-of-the-art semantic table interpretation baselines.
Topological spin transport by Brownian diffusion of domain walls

description: We propose thermally-populated domain walls (DWs) in an easy-plane ferromagnetic insulator as robust spin carriers between two metals. The chirality of a DW, which serves as a topological charge, couples to the metal spin accumulation via spin-transfer torque and results in the chirality-dependent thermal nucleation rates of DWs at the interface. After overpopulated DWs of a particular (net) chirality diffuse and leave the ferromagnet at the other interface, they reemit the spin current by spin pumping. The conservation of the topological charge supports an algebraic decay of spin transport as the length of the ferromagnet increases; this is analogous to the decaying behavior of superfluid spin transport but contrasts with the exponential decay of magnon spin transport. We envision that similar spin transport with algebraic decay may be implemented in materials with exotic spin phases by exploiting topological characteristics and the associated conserved quantities of their excitations.

Year: 2020

description: This study looks at how participatory programming addresses each of the Arts Audience Experience Index intrinsic attributes; knowledge, collective engagement, risk and authenticity, particularly as they relate embodied experience.  Semi-structured interviews with a purposive sampling of artists and arts administrators was used to evaluate the relationship between participatory arts, embodiment and audience reach. This research will be a valuable addition to knowledge around increasing audience involvement, widening the impact of the performing arts and creating quality experiences for audiences. It also adds more arts-based dialogue to research about embodied or corporeal knowledge and information behaviors.
Interconnectedness: A Case Study of Revolutionary War and War of the Regulation Battlefields in North and South Carolina.
Creators: name: Dure, Leon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This paper examines the preservation and interpretation practices of six battlefields in North and South Carolina, all of which occurred during the American Revolution or the War of the Regulation. I not only conducted interviews with personnel at the sites in question, but also examined resources related to each site, as well as the National Park Service in general. I discovered that in multiple locations preservation and interpretation are interconnected, in that each has a broad, rather than narrow focus. Specifically, both concentrate not just on the battlefield itself and what occurred on a specific day, but also contextual information that helps enlighten visitors to the importance of the site.

Spin-orbit coupling rule in bound fermions systems

description: Spin-orbit coupling characterizes quantum systems such as atoms, nuclei, hypernuclei, quarkonia, etc., and is essential for understanding their spectroscopic properties. Depending on the system, the effect of spin-orbit coupling on shell structure is large in nuclei, small in quarkonia, perturbative in atoms. In the standard non-relativistic reduction of the single-particle Dirac equation, we derive a universal rule for the relative magnitude of the spin-orbit effect that applies to very different quantum systems, regardless of whether the spin-orbit coupling originates from the strong or electromagnetic interaction. It is shown that in nuclei the near equality of the mass of the nucleon and the difference between the large repulsive and attractive potentials explains the fact that spin-orbit splittings are comparable to the energy spacing between major shells. For a specific ratio between the particle mass and the effective potential whose gradient determines the spin-orbit force, we predict the occurrence of giant spin-orbit energy splittings that dominate the single-particle excitation spectrum.
Vehicle Fault-Tolerant Robust Power Transmission Line Inspection Planning

description: This paper concerns fault-tolerant power transmission line inspection planning as a generalization of the multiple traveling salesmen problem. The addressed inspection planning problem is formulated as a single-depot multiple-vehicle scenario, where the inspection vehicles are constrained by the battery budget limiting their inspection time. The inspection vehicle is assumed to be an autonomous multi-copter with a wide range of possible flight speeds influencing battery consumption. The inspection plan is represented by multiple routes for vehicles providing full coverage over inspection target power lines. On an inspection vehicle mission interruption, which might happen at any time during the execution of the inspection plan, the inspection is re-planned using the remaining vehicles and their remaining battery budgets. Robustness is introduced by choosing a suitable cost function for the initial plan that maximizes the time window for successful re-planning. It enables the remaining vehicles to successfully finish all the inspection targets using their respective remaining battery budgets. A combinatorial metaheuristic algorithm with various cost functions is used for planning and fast re-planning during the inspection.

“I mean, I think it still works”: How Do Library Staff Develop Expertise and Support Users in Circulating Collections of Audiovisual Production Equipment?
Creators: name: Getaz, Christina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Libraries house and circulate many types of materials and technologies. In academic libraries, circulating equipment often supports coursework and curricular goals around experiential education. These collections create specific demands on the librarians who manage them in terms of selection, upkeep, and user support and reference. This study consisted of a web-based survey that asked academic library staff about the breadth of audiovisual production equipment collections, their own experiences developing knowledge to support these collections, and provision of user support services and materials.

description: Single crystals of Fe5B2P were grown by self-flux growth technique. Structural and magnetic properties are studied. The Curie temperature of Fe5B2P is determined to be 655$pm$2K. The saturation magnetization is determined to be 1.72 MuB/Fe at 2K. The temperature variation of the anisotropy constant K1 is determined for the first time, reaching ~0.50 MJ/m3 at 2K, and it is comparable to that of hard ferrites. The saturation magnetization is found to be larger than the hard ferrites. The first principle calculations of saturation magnetization and anisotropy constant are found to be consistent with the experimental results.
Universal Quantum Measurements

description: We introduce a family of operations in quantum mechanics that one can regard as "universal quantum measurements" (UQMs). These measurements are applicable to all finite-dimensional quantum systems and entail the specification of only a minimal amount of structure. The first class of UQM that we consider involves the specification of the initial state of the system---no further structure is brought into play. We call operations of this type "tomographic measurements", since given the statistics of the outcomes one can deduce the original state of the system. Next, we construct a disentangling operation, the outcome of which, when the procedure is applied to a general mixed state of an entangled composite system, is a disentangled product of pure constituent states. This operation exists whenever the dimension of the Hilbert space is not a prime, and can be used to model the decay of a composite system. As another example, we show how one can make a measurement of the direction along which the spin of a particle of spin s is oriented (s = 1/2, 1, ...). The required additional structure in this case involves the embedding of CP(1) as a rational curve of degree 2s in CP(2s).

description: We prove that the (logarithmic) Mahler measure $m(P)$ of $P(x,y)=x+1/x+y+1/y+3$ is equal to the $L$-value $2L'(E,0)$ attached to the elliptic curve $E:P(x,y)=0$ of conductor 21. In order to do this we investigate the measure of a more general Laurent polynomial $P_{a,b,c}(x,y)=a(x+1/x)+b(y+1/y)+c$ and show that the wanted quantity $m(P)$ is related to a "half-Mahler" measure of $\tilde P(x,y)=P_{\sqrt{7},1,3}(x,y)$. In the finale we use the modular parametrization of the elliptic curve $\tilde P(x,y)=0$, again of conductor 21, due to Ramanujan and the Mellit--Brunault formula for the regulator of modular units.
