Compact low-noise RF resonator for cryogenic trapped ion quantum computer
Creators: name: Bruff, Margie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The Duke Multifunctional Integrated Systems Technology (MIST) lab uses trapped Yb+ ions for quantum information processing. Trapped ions are promising qubits due to their long coherence time and ease of manipulation. However, ion trapping requires high voltage radio frequency (RF) signals, on the order of hundreds of volts for heavy ions like Yb+. The state-of-the-art mechanical resonator used to achieve these voltages is bulky and noisy, disrupting motional coherence between the ions and lasers used to control them. We study an alternative electronic component resonator. We aimed to maximize voltage gain, Gv, without exceeding a quality factor, Q, threshold of 200, to keep the RF voltage stable to small changes in frequency. We designed three inductor coils with sequential improvements to increase thermal conductivity and decrease internal resistance. We tested these coils using a capacitor as a model of the ion trap and found Gv~40 for the first two coils with Q<200 for ideally impedance matched tests. We find significantly decreased reflection in the third coil design, with Q<80, which suggests that this design will improve the voltage gain while maintaining Q below the threshold. Further testing is needed to quantify these improvements. Future work will also replace the trap-emulating capacitor with an ion trap and test motional coherence to directly evaluate the electronic resonator’s noise compared to that of the mechanical resonator.

description: We perform a femtosecond-THz optical pump-probe spectroscopy to investigate the cooling dynamics of hot carriers in quasi-free standing bilayer epitaxial graphene. We observed longer decay time constants, in the range of 2.6 to 6.4 ps, compared to previous studies on monolayer graphene, which increase nonlinearly with excitation intensity. The increased relaxation times are due to the decoupling of the graphene layer from the SiC substrate after hydrogen intercalation which increases the distance between graphene and substrate. Furthermore, our measurements do not show that the supercollision mechanism is related to the cooling process of the hot carriers, which is ultimately achieved by electron-optical phonon scattering.

description: Humans are continuously exposed to a huge amount and a variety of chemicals. Animal tests are the gold standard for toxicity testing. However, they often fail in finely replicating the real physio-pathological scenario and their use is associated with ethical issues. 3D in vitro tissue models more efficiently mimic the native human environment and bring clear ethical advantages.1 In order to design a 3D bioengineered tissue model, the 3D matrix used to guide cell behavior, extracellular matrix (ECM) production and new tissue formation should replicate the architecture and composition of the native tissue. In this context, the proper selection of the biomaterial, the fabrication method and the functionalization protocol plays a pivotal role. In cardiac tissue engineering (TE), elastomeric polymers are required as constituents of porous structs replicating in vitro the myocardium architecture and mechanical properties. Moreover, surface functionalization with cardiac ECM proteins replicates in vitro the biochemical cues present in the native tissue. In this work the versatility of poly(urethane) (PU) chemistry was exploited to design a plethora of polymers with a wide range of physico-chemical properties. The most promising material for cardiac TE was then microfabricated through melt extrusion additive manufacturing (AM). Scaffolds were surface functionalized with cardiac ECM proteins (e.g., laminin, LN) and seeded with cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) to establish cardiac tissue models.
On the complementary quantum capacity of the depolarizing channel

description: The qubit depolarizing channel with noise parameter $η$ transmits an input qubit perfectly with probability $1-η$, and outputs the completely mixed state with probability $η$. We show that its complementary channel has positive quantum capacity for all $η>0$. Thus, we find that there exists a single parameter family of channels having the peculiar property of having positive quantum capacity even when the outputs of these channels approach a fixed state independent of the input. Comparisons with other related channels, and implications on the difficulty of studying the quantum capacity of the depolarizing channel are discussed.

description: Glutamate-gated kainate receptors (KARs) are ubiquitous in the central nervous system of vertebrates, mediate synaptic transmission on post-synapse, and modulate transmitter release on pre-synapse. In the brain, the trafficking, gating kinetics, and pharmacology of KARs are tightly regulated by Neuropilin and tolloid-like proteins (Netos). Here we report cryo-EM structures of homo-tetrameric GluK2 in complex with Neto2 at inhibited and desensitized states, illustrating variable stoichiometry of GluK2-Neto2 complexes, with one or two Neto2 subunits associate with the GluK2. We find that Neto2 accesses only two broad faces of KARs, intermolecularly crosslinking the lower-lobe of ATDA/C, upper-lobe of LBDB/D, and lower-lobe of LBDA/C, illustrating how Neto2 regulates receptor-gating kinetics. The transmembrane helix of Neto2 is positioned proximal to the selectivity filter and competes with the amphiphilic H1-helix after M4 for interacting with an ICD formed by the M1-M2 linkers of the receptor, revealing how rectification is regulated by Neto2.

description: The promise of ultrafast light field driven electronic nanocircuits has stimulated the development of the new research field of attosecond nanophysics. An essential prerequisite for advancing this new area is the ability to characterize optical nearfields from light interaction with nanostructures with sub cycle resolution. Here, we experimentally demonstrate attosecond nearfield retrieval with a gold nanotip using streaking spectroscopy. By comparison of the results from gold nanotips to those obtained for a noble gas, the spectral response of the nanotip near field arising from laser excitation can be extracted. Monte Carlo MC trajectory simulations in near fields obtained with the macroscopic Maxwells equations elucidate the streaking mechanism on the nanoscale.

It’s the Little Things: A Literature Review of Non-Pharmacological Pain Interventions for Preterm and Full-Term Infants
Creators: name: Despina Kaitlyn Giotis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Infants are exposed to pain during routine, diagnostic, and therapeutic medical care; however, evidence suggests exposure to pain is associated with adverse short-term and long-term effects (Baudesson de Chanville et al., 2017; Benoit, Martin-Misener, Latimer, & Campbell-Yeo, 2017; Pandita et al., 2018; Zeller & Giebe, 2014). Despite this information, pain in the infant population is still largely overlooked and undertreated (Boles, 2017). The purpose of this literature review was to determine the most common non-pharmacological pain interventions utilized for hospitalized preterm and full-term infants and to explore the importance of these interventions on overall health. Three databases, CINAHL, PubMed, and Cochrane Library, were searched from 2014 through 2019 using non-pharmacological pain intervention related terms. After extensive evaluation, 13 articles were included in this literature review. Analysis of the literature revealed oral glucose/sucrose, non-nutritive sucking, facilitated tucking/swaddling, skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, attention modification, and holding were the most common non-pharmacological pain interventions. All of these interventions, except breastfeeding, effectively managed pain in preterm and full-term infants (Benoit et al., 2017; Boles, 2017; da Motta & da Cunha, 2015; Zeller & Giebe, 2014). Breastfeeding was more effective at controlling pain in full-term infants (Benoit et al., 2017; da Motta & da Cunha, 2015). Combining multiple non-pharmacological interventions was often more effective than utilizing single interventions (Baudesson de Chanville et al., 2017; Boles, 2017; Benoit et al., 2017; Leng et al., 2018). These non-pharmacological interventions were easy to implement, cost effective, primarily nurse driven, and posed little risk to infants (da Motta & da Cunha, 2015; Pandita et al., 2018;  Zeller & Giebe, 2014). The use of non-pharmacological interventions makes a significant difference in terms of pain management for preterm and full-term infants.

The Southeast Asian-American Student Project: Exploring Academic Achievement on a Predominantly White College Campus
Creators: name: Mlo, H'Abigail Rcom

Year: 2020

description: The United States is home to 2.5 million immigrant/refugee communities from the Southeast Asian countries of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos who have experienced higher rates of poverty and limited education relative to the overall US population. Studies have shown that young Southeast Asian-Americans experience challenges with post-secondary matriculation, retention, and academic satisfaction as a result of being first-generation and/or low-income students whose parents struggle with limited English language proficiency and assimilation due to their trauma of displacement and forced migration. This contrasts the model minority myth, or the notion that all Asian-Americans are academically high-achieving and self-sufficient. The students in this study reported receiving academic and social support, as well as cultural validation, primarily through their friends and student-led organizations. Their motivation for college enrollment and persistence is largely self-driven. Overall, it is important for universities to recognize the experiences of their Southeast Asian-American study body in order to effectively advocate for their needs.

description: Tissue Engineering (TE) reconstructs damaged tissues/organs exploiting biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds, taking often advantage of natural materials' bioactive/biomimetic cues together with advanced 3D processing techniques. In this scenario, collagen-derived materials (e.g. gelatin) have played a pivotal role. This paper will review past and recent outcomes of my research in the field, focusing on how collagen-based materials have been transferred from TE to the realization of 3D tissue/organ models supporting disease monitoring and drug design in an increasingly sustainable and ethical approach. Pioneering experiments have shown the potential of enzymatic/genipin crosslinking to realize new biomaterials. Engineered fillers of porous hollow tubes have also been designed to guide peripheral nerve regeneration. A procedure for preparing bone-derived biomimetic soluble collagen was also developed “in-house”. More recently, collagen coatings with custom polyurethanes supported the modelling of healthy and osteoporotic bone. Collagen is, moreover, a key component to design 3D skin equivalents for assessing biological safety. Gelatin is also a key ingredient as bioink for 3D-bioprinting. For instance, gelatin/nano-hydroxyapatite bioinks have permitted the realization of bone models. Cellularized gelatin bioinks are also used to colonize polyurethane scaffolds mimicking the cardiac tissue. Electrospinning of gelatin and collagen membranes has been implemented, successfully, in the design of lung and pancreatic tissue replicas in disease modelling.

description: We propose a spatio-temporal mixing kinematic data estimation method to estimate the shape of the colon with deformations caused by colonoscope insertion. Endoscope tracking or a navigation system that navigates physicians to target positions is needed to reduce such complications as organ perforations. Although many previous methods focused to track bronchoscopes and surgical endoscopes, few number of colonoscope tracking methods were proposed. This is because the colon largely deforms during colonoscope insertion. The deformation causes significant tracking errors. Colon deformation should be taken into account in the tracking process. We propose a colon shape estimation method using a Kinematic Spatio-Temporal data Mixer (KST-Mixer) that can be used during colonoscope insertions to the colon. Kinematic data of a colonoscope and the colon, including positions and directions of their centerlines, are obtained using electromagnetic and depth sensors. The proposed method separates the data into sub-groups along the spatial and temporal axes. The KST-Mixer extracts kinematic features and mix them along the spatial and temporal axes multiple times. We evaluated colon shape estimation accuracies in phantom studies. The proposed method achieved 11.92 mm mean Euclidean distance error, the smallest of the previous methods. Statistical analysis indicated that the proposed method significantly reduced the error compared to the previous methods.

description: When double-stranded DNA molecules are heated, or exposed to denaturing agents, the two strands get separated. The statistical physics of this process has a long history, and is commonly described in term of the Poland-Scheraga (PS) model. Crucial to this model is the configurational entropy for a melted region (compared to the entropy of an intact region of the same size), quantified by the loop factor. In this study we investigate how confinement affects the DNA melting transition, by using the loop factor for an ideal Gaussian chain. By subsequent numerical solutions of the PS model, we demonstrate that the melting temperature depends on the persistence lengths of single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. For realistic values of the persistence lengths the melting temperature is predicted to decrease with decreasing channel diameter. We also demonstrate that confinement broadens the melting transition. These general findings hold for the three scenarios investigated: namely 1. homo-DNA, i.e. identical basepairs along the DNA molecule; 2. random sequence DNA, and 3. "real" DNA, here T4 phage DNA. We show that cases 2 and 3 in general give rise to broader transitions than case 1. Case 3 exhibits a similar phase transition as case 2 provided the random sequence DNA has the same ratio of AT to GC basepairs. A simple analytical estimate for the shift in melting temperature is provided as a function of nanochannel diameter. For homo-DNA, we also present an analytical prediction of the melting probability as a function of temperature.

Neighborhood Income Dispersion and Criminal Activity
Creators: name: Michalak, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: This paper studies the relationship between neighborhood income isolation, measured by the segregation of impoverished families, and crime. The theory of social disorganization explains the mechanism through which income isolation impacts criminal activity. I use data from North Carolina from 2009 to 2016 and find that the effects of isolation differ for violent and property crime, with income isolation having a significant negative effect on property crime. Violent crime however may be better explained by opportunity or relative deprivation theories, and likely results from factors that are unobservable in presented data.

A Core Model for Choreographic Programming

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Programming Languages (cs.PL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Choreographic Programming is a programming paradigm for building concurrent programs that are deadlock-free by construction, as a result of programming communications declaratively and then synthesising process implementations automatically. Despite strong interest on choreographies, a foundational model that explains which computations can be performed with the hallmark constructs of choreographies is still missing. In this work, we introduce Core Choreographies (CC), a model that includes only the core primitives of choreographic programming. Every computable function can be implemented as a choreography in CC, from which we can synthesise a process implementation where independent computations run in parallel. We discuss the design of CC and argue that it constitutes a canonical model for choreographic programming.

description: Effects of velocity dispersion of dark matter particles on the CMB TT power spectrum and on the matter linear power spectrum are investigated using a modified CAMB code. Cold dark matter originated from thermal equilibrium processes does not produce appreciable effects but this is not the case if particles have a non-thermal origin. A cut-off in the matter power spectrum at small scales, similar to that produced by warm dark matter or that produced in the late forming dark matter scenario, appears as a consequence of velocity dispersion effects, which act as a pressure perturbation.

description: Animal models represent the gold standard for toxicity assessment. However, due to anatomical and functional diversity, they are often unable to replicate the real human physio-pathological scenario with sufficient fidelity. Additionally, their use is currently strongly debated due to ethical issues. In this scenario, the development of in vitro bioengineered tissue/organ models could represent a significant step forward in establishing Novel Approach Methodologies, providing more reliable and robust methods for toxicity assessment [1]. In this contribution, we report the development of a new in vitro bioengineered model of cardiac tissue. The model results from the assembly of a polymeric 3D multi-layered structure obtained by melt extrusion additive manufacturing of a custom-made poly(ester urethane) (PU) with a cell-loaded (human induced pluripotent stem cell derived-cardiomyocytes hiPSC-CMs) methacryloyl gelatin bio-ink.

description: In this work, we focus on sentence splitting, a subfield of text simplification, motivated largely by an unproven idea that if you divide a sentence in pieces, it should become easier to understand. Our primary goal in this paper is to find out whether this is true. In particular, we ask, does it matter whether we break a sentence into two or three? We report on our findings based on Amazon Mechanical Turk. More specifically, we introduce a Bayesian modeling framework to further investigate to what degree a particular way of splitting the complex sentence affects readability, along with a number of other parameters adopted from diverse perspectives, including clinical linguistics, and cognitive linguistics. The Bayesian modeling experiment provides clear evidence that bisecting the sentence leads to enhanced readability to a degree greater than what we create by trisection.

description: Surface convection is important for the presence of magnetic activity at stars. So far, this convection is thought to be a result of heating from below, where convection cells rise and break up. New models reveal that surface convection is instead strongly driven by cooling from above. We compare two simulations of surface convection, one with a significant heating from below and one without. We obtain surface convection in both cases, and they show similar granulation patterns. The deep convection driven by heating from below is still evolving and asymptotically approaches a steady-state solution. We find that convection from below is not needed at all to form typical photospheric granulation. This indicates the possibility of a surface dynamo acting on stars without a convecting envelope. Even stars without a convecting envelope could therefore exhibit stronger magnetic and coronal activity than expected so far.

Housing discrimination at the intersection of health condition, race and felony status
Creators: name: Henkels, Jacob
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Those reintegrating into society from incarceration are faced with a stigma that prevents them from receiving basic human needs. The label of "felon" creates collateral consequences that prevent access to necessities like employment, healthcare, and housing (Pager, 2003; Kugelmass, 2016; Evans, 2018). Housing has been identified as one of the most critical necessities in the process of reentry – however, it is widely inaccessible for people with a criminal record (Garland et al., 2010; O'Brien, 2001). Health issues are also highly prevalent within the formerly incarcerated population, as reentering individuals are at significantly higher risk of having both physical illnesses and mental disorders (Pedersen, 2019; Bronson & Berzofsky, 2017). In order to live a healthy life, it is imperative to be housed due to its positive impact on both physical and mental health (Evans, 2003; Kreiger & Higgins, 2002). While it is known that housing institutions discriminate on the basis of criminal record, it is unclear whether health status or race play a role in affecting the accessibility of housing for a reentering individual (Helfgott, 1997; Thacher, 2008; Evans et al., 2019). This study uses the audit method to examine the effects of health status and race on housing outcomes. Fictitious testers, known as auditors, sent emails inquiring about rental listings to housing organizations across North Carolina. The emails that each auditor sent signal various health and racial characteristics that are used to examine potential cases of discrimination based on the amount of positive responses each received. I did not obtain evidence that suggests differential treatment on the basis of health with regards to housing outcomes. However, the results consistently suggest a racial bias in housing outcomes amongst all forms of health status.

description: We carried out the detailed group classification of the potential in Klein-Gordon equation in anisotropic Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, we consider the Klein-Gordon equations for the four-dimensional anisotropic and homogeneous spacetimes of Bianchi I, Bianchi\ III and Bianchi V. We derive all the closed-form expressions for the potential function where the equation admits Lie and Noether symmetries. We apply previous results which connect the Lie symmetries\ of the differential equation with the collineations of the Riemannian space which defines the Laplace operator, and we solve the classification problem in a systematic way.

description: Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome in which the heart is not able to properly pump blood because of structural and functional defects, resulting in the body not getting enough blood. It affects millions of people in the United States and often leads to hospitalization or mortality. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a sudden worsening of HF symptoms and is a powerful predictor of readmission for HF and death of patients with chronic HF post-discharge. In this thesis, we used data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study’s community surveillance of heart failure hospitalizations to develop machine learning classification models to accurately classify if a patient did have or did not have ADHF. We used abstracted hospital records and ADHF diagnosis, done by clinician review, to train the classifiers to identify ADHF cases. After data preparation through imputation and handling collinearity in the data, we had 2,925 records in our training set and 116 records in our test dataset. Data preparation, cross-validation, model creation, and data analysis were all done in R, and we created a decision tree using the rpart package and a boosted decision tree using the adabag package. Using these models, we observed classification accuracy rates of approximately 75% in the decision tree model and 79% in the boosted decision tree model. These rates were fairly consistent with those found in literature of machine learning models that were used to classify general HF and general heart disease cases. The success of our models, relative to those in literature, demonstrate the potential for machine learning to help identify ADHF cases among HF-related hospitalizations in the clinical setting.

Observational signatures of modified gravity on ultra-large scales

description: Extremely large surveys with future experiments like Euclid and the SKA will soon allow us to access perturbation modes close to the Hubble scale, with wavenumbers $k \sim \mathcal{H}$. If a modified gravity theory is responsible for cosmic acceleration, the Hubble scale is a natural regime for deviations from General Relativity (GR) to become manifest. The majority of studies to date have concentrated on the consequences of alternative gravity theories for the subhorizon, quasi-static regime, however. In this paper we investigate how modifications to the gravitational field equations affect perturbations around the Hubble scale. We choose functional forms to represent the generic scale-dependent behaviour of gravity theories that modify GR at long wavelengths, and study the resulting deviations of ultra large-scale relativistic observables from their GR behaviour. We find that these are small unless modifications to the field equations are drastic. The angular dependence and redshift evolution of the deviations is highly parameterisation- and survey-dependent, however, and so they are possibly a rich source of modified gravity phenomenology if they can be measured.

A New Measuring Rod: A Qualitative Evaluation of How Slavery is Taught in North Carolina
Creators: name: Russell, Lucy

description: Slavery created a foundation of profound racial inequality in America, and the philosophy of white supremacy used to justify slavery remains today. Meanwhile, the public education system reaches nearly all young people in our country and is a major force of national socialization: schools instill knowledge in and shape historical consensus of burgeoning citizens. But existing scholarship has established that students in America’s schools incorrectly learned about slavery for over a century (Washburn, 1997). The historical inconsistency requires an evaluation of how social studies educators teach about slavery in 2020. This thesis explores the following research question: how is slavery taught in North Carolina public schools? 

The thesis includes a historical contextualization of North Carolina’s public education system to preface the contemporary research analysis. One analytical lens focuses on the current K-12 social studies standards established by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI) due to their statewide uniformity, but the research also discerns how educators teach about slavery at a classroom level. Qualitative methods were used to collect input from nearly 70 educators through online surveys and in-person interviews. After synthesizing the main findings, the conclusion features a set of policy recommendations for improved instruction about slavery through a comprehensive three-pronged approach: state-wide, district, and individual teacher levels. Overall, the research underscores how education stakeholders should set a new measuring rod to comprehensively teach the history of slavery by (1) establishing better content expectations, (2) providing more professional learning opportunities about history and race for educators, and (3) blending history and literature courses into humanities offerings.

description: The hybridization of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in dimers of magnetic impurities leads to molecular-like bonding and antibonding modes. In many-impurity systems, the interaction gives rise to YSR bands and can even result in the formation of a topologically non-trivial superconducting state, characterized by Majorana fermions at the edges of the system. To obtain a more detailed understanding of these interactions, we investigate the coupling of YSR states in short one-dimensional Fe chains on clean Nb(110). We observe a splitting of the single-atom YSR peaks into multiple states with even or odd spatial symmetry and identify a peculiar dependence of the even and odd states' energy position on the chain length.

description: A targeted literature study was performed to assess the toxicological evidence for a selection of cardiotoxic chemicals, for which the results were collected in a data matrix. The objective of this document is to describe the methodology of the literature study, as well as to provide a summary and description of the main results collected in the data matrix. Chemicals for the literature study were selected from an earlier review. These chemicals elicited heart failure related effects in vitro, such as effects on cardiomyocyte viability, contractility, hypertrophy, and myopathy. The data matrix contains toxicological potency estimates for these relevant in vitro endpoints, as well as study results of in vivo toxicity assays. Relevant study characteristics were collected, such as species, cell type, dosing range, incubation time, and main outcome, facilitating comparison between chemicals and therefore prioritization efforts. The data matrix can therefore help the project in various stages, ranging from chemical selection to validation, while providing a framework with mechanistic data that can explain and integrate cardiotoxicity pathways with heart failure outcomes seen in exposed populations.

description: Transparency has become a central norm in journalism and it is deemed to increase audiences’ perceptions of credibility, legitimacy and trust in the news media. While a number of studies have sought to support these claims by primarily testing the effects of transparency on credibility perceptions, this research explores how audiences’ trust in journalism is impacted by various features and types of transparency on the news item level. Two experiments were conducted. The findings of the first experiment suggest that transparency in its current form may not increase news consumers’ trust. The second experiment explored possible explanations for the findings of the first study. The results of the second experiment indicate that while audiences value transparency in reporting, they struggle to recognize and recall the presence of transparency and transparency features within a news online article. Overall, the findings of the two studies suggest first, the need to reconceptualize how audiences perceive and process transparency information and second, to include transparency information as part of the news story.

description: The evaluation of Deep Learning models has traditionally focused on criteria such as accuracy, F1 score, and related measures. The increasing availability of high computational power environments allows the creation of deeper and more complex models. However, the computations needed to train such models entail a large carbon footprint. In this work, we study the relations between DL model architectures and their environmental impact in terms of energy consumed and CO$_2$ emissions produced during training by means of an empirical study using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks. Concretely, we study: (i) the impact of the architecture and the location where the computations are hosted on the energy consumption and emissions produced; (ii) the trade-off between accuracy and energy efficiency; and (iii) the difference on the method of measurement of the energy consumed using software-based and hardware-based tools.
