description: We present broadband photometric and polarimetric observations of two type II supernovae (SNe) 2013hj and 2014G. SN 2014G is a spectroscopically classified type IIL event, which we also confirm photometrically as its light curve show characteristic features (plateau slope of 2.55 mag (100 d)$ ^{-1} $ in V-band and duration of $ \sim77 $d) of a generic IIL SN. On the other hand SN 2013hj also shows high plateau decline rate of $ 1.5 $ mag (100 d)$ ^{-1} $ in V-band, similar to SNe IIL, but marginally lower than SNe IIL template light curves. Our high cadence photometric observations of SNe 2013hj and 2014G enables us to cover all characteristic phases up to radioactive tail of optical light curves. Broadband polarimetric observations reveal some polarization in SN 2013hj with subtle enhancement as SN evolves towards plateau end, however the polarization angle remains constant throughout the evolution. This characteristic is consistent with the idea that the evolving SN with recombining hydrogen envelope is slowly revealing more asymmetric central region of explosion. Modelling of bolometric light curve yields a progenitor mass of $ \sim11 $M$_{\odot}$ with a radius of $ \sim700 $R$_{\odot}$ for SN 2013hj, while for SN 2014G model estimated progenitor mass is $ \sim9 $M$_{\odot}$ with a radius of $ \sim630 $R$_{\odot}$, both having a typical energy budget of $ \sim2\times10^{51} $ erg.

description: We calculate the decay width of $h^0(125GeV) \to c \bar{c}$ in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) with non-minimal quark flavor violation (QFV) at full one-loop level. We adopt the $\overline{\rm DR}$ renormalization scheme. We study the effects of the mixing of the second and third squark generations (i.e. scharm-stop mixing) on the decay width, respecting the experimental constraints from B-meson data, the Higgs mass measurement and supersymmetric (SUSY) particle searches. We show that the decay width $Γ(h^0 \to c \bar{c})$ at the full one-loop level is very sensitive to the SUSY QFV parameters. In a scenario with large scharm-stop mixing, the decay width can differ up to $\sim \pm 35\%$ from its SM prediction. After taking into account the experimental and theoretical uncertainties of the decay width, we conclude that these QFV SUSY effects can be observed at a future $e^+ e^-$ collider such as ILC (International Linear Collider).

Do Phonologically Active Classes Cause Warping of the Perceptual Space?
Creators: name: Moeng, Emily
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: Perceptual warping has been observed in various domains, both linguistic and non linguistic. The perceptual space is warped so that stimuli which belong to the same category are perceived as more similar to one another, while stimuli which belong to different categories are perceived as less similar to one another. Observations of perceptual warping in the linguistic domain have been confined to those of individual phonemes (for example, categorical perception of consonants, and the Perceptual Magnet Effect for vowels). This thesis attempts to replicate a study done by Dale Terbeek (1977) which may hint at perceptual warping caused by phonological classes of sounds. More specifically, this study trains English speakers on an artificial language with front/back vowel harmony. Similarity judgments of vowels are obtained before and after training to determine whether language training has warped the perceptual space. Results do not reach statistical significance, and recommendations for further study are made.

description: The combination of h-BN and high-k dielectrics is required for a top gate insulator in miniaturized graphene field-effect transistors because of the low dielectric constant of h-BN. We investigated the deposition of Y2O3 on h-BN using atomic layer deposition. The deposition of Y2O3 on h-BN was confirmed without any buffer layer. An increase in the deposition temperature reduced the surface coverage. The deposition mechanism could be explained by the competition between the desorption and adsorption of the Y precursor on h-BN due to the polarization. Although a full surface coverage was difficult to achieve, the use of an oxidized metal seeding layer on h-BN resulted in a full surface coverage.

description: We report the discovery of 652 star clusters, stellar groups and candidates in the Milky Way with WISE. Most of the objects are projected close to Galactic Plane and are embedded clusters. The present sample complements a similar study (Paper I) which provided 437 star clusters and alike. We find evidence that star formation processes span a wide range of sizes, from populous dense clusters to small compact embedded ones, sparse stellar groups or in relative isolation. The present list indicates multiple stellar generations during the embedded phase, with giant molecular clouds collapsing into several clumps composing an embedded cluster aggregate. We investigate the field star decontaminated Colour Magnitude Diagrams and Radial Density Profiles of 9 cluster candidates in the list, and derive their parameters, confirming them as embedded clusters.

description: Metals cannot exhibit ferroelectricity because static internal electric fields are screened by conduction electrons, but in 1965, Anderson and Blount predicted the possibility of a ferroelectric metal, in which a ferroelectric-like structural transition occurs in the metallic state. Up to now, no clear example of such a material has been identified. Here we report on a centrosymmetric (R-3c) to non-centrosymmetric (R3c) transition in metallic LiOsO3 that is structurally equivalent to the ferroelectric transition of LiNbO3. The transition involves a continuous shift in the mean position of Li+ ions on cooling below 140K. Its discovery realizes the scenario described by Anderson and Blount, and establishes a new class of materials whose properties may differ from those of normal metals.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The largest stellar halos in the universe are found in massive galaxy clusters, where interactions and mergers of galaxies, along with the cluster tidal field, all act to strip stars from their host galaxies and feed the diffuse intracluster light (ICL) and extended halos of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). Studies of the nearby Virgo Cluster reveal a variety of accretion signatures imprinted in the morphology and stellar populations of its ICL. While simulations suggest the ICL should grow with time, attempts to track this evolution across clusters spanning a range of mass and redshift have proved difficult due to a variety of observational and definitional issues. Meanwhile, studies of nearby galaxy groups reveal the earliest stages of ICL formation: the extremely diffuse tidal streams formed during interactions in the group environment.

description: We consider a spherically symmetric stellar model in general relativity whose interior consists of a pressureless fluid undergoing microscopic velocity diffusion in a cosmological scalar field. We show that the diffusion dynamics compel the interior to be spatially homogeneous, by which one can infer immediately that within our model, and in contrast to the diffusion-free case, no naked singularities can form in the gravitational collapse. We then study the problem of matching an exterior Bondi type metric to the surface of the star and find that the exterior can be chosen to be a modified Vaidya metric with variable cosmological constant. Finally, we study in detail the causal structure of an explicit, self-similar solution.

An efficient time-stepping scheme for ab initio molecular dynamics simulations

description: In ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of real-world problems, the simple Verlet method is still widely used for integrating the equations of motion, while more efficient algorithms are routinely used in classical molecular dynamics. We show that if the Verlet method is used in conjunction with pre- and postprocessing, the accuracy of the time integration is significantly improved with only a small computational overhead. The validity of the processed Verlet method is demonstrated in several examples including ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of liquid water. The structural properties obtained from the processed Verlet method are found to be sufficiently accurate even for large time steps close to the stability limit. This approach results in a 2x performance gain over the standard Verlet method for a given accuracy.

description: Hexagonal boron nitride (BN) is widely used as a substrate and gate insulator for two-dimensional (2D) electronic devices. The studies on insulating properties and electrical reliability of BN itself, however, are quite limited. Here, we report a systematic investigation of the dielectric breakdown characteristics of BN using conductive atomic force microscopy. The electric field strength was found to be ~12 MV/cm, which is comparable to that of conventional SiO2 oxides because of the covalent bonding nature of BN. After the hard dielectric breakdown, the BN fractured like a flower into equilateral triangle fragments. However, when the applied voltage was terminated precisely in the middle of the dielectric breakdown, the formation of a hole that did not penetrate to the bottom metal electrode was clearly observed. Subsequent I-V measurements of the hole indicated that the BN layer remaining in the hole was still electrically inactive. Based on these observations, layer-by-layer breakdown was confirmed for BN with regard to both physical fracture and electrical breakdown. Moreover, statistical analysis of the breakdown voltages using a Weibull plot suggested the anisotropic formation of defects. These results are unique to layered materials and unlike the behavior observed for conventional 3D amorphous oxides.
Unmet dental needs and barriers to dental care among children with autism spectrum disorders

Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the unmet dental needs and barriers to dental care among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in North Carolina. Mail-in pilot-tested questionnaires were sent to a stratified random sample of 1500 families from the North Carolina Autism Registry. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the significance of unmet dental needs and other predictors. Of the 568 surveys returned (RR=38%), 555 were complete and used. Sixty-five (12%) children had unmet dental needs. Of 516 children (93%) who had been to a dentist, 11% still reported unmet needs. The main barriers to dental care were child's behavior, cost, and lack of insurance. The significant predictor variables of unmet needs were child's behavior (P=.01), child's dental health (P<.001), and caregiver's last dental visit greater than 6 months (P=.002). Type of ASD did not have an effect on having unmet dental needs.

description: Hysteretic losses in MgB2 wound superconducting coils of a 500 kW synchronous hybrid generator were estimated as part of the European project SUPRAPOWER led by the Spanish company Tecnalia Research and Innovation. Particular interest was given to the losses found in tapes in the superconducting rotor caused by the magnetic flux ripples originating from the conventional stator during nominal operation. To compute the losses, a 2D Finite Element Method was applied to solve the H-formulation of Maxwell's equations considering the nonlinear properties of both the superconducting material and its surrounding Ni matrix. To be able to model all the different turns composing the winding of the superconducting rotor coils, three geometrical models of single tape cross section of decreasing complexity were studied: 1) the first model reproduced closely the actual cross section obtained from micrographs, 2) the second model was obtained from the computed elastoplastic deformation of a round Ni wire, 3) the last model was based on a simplified elliptic cross section. The last geometry allowed validating the modeling technique by comparing numerical losses with results from well-established analytical expressions. Additionally, the following cases of filament transpositions were studied: no, partial and full transposition. Finally, choosing the right level of geometrical details to predict the expected behavior of individual superconducting tapes in the rotor, the following operational regimes were studied: Bias-DC current, ramping current under ramping background field, and magnetic flux ripples under DC background current and field.

Revealing the nature of star forming blue early-type galaxies at low redshift

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Context: Star forming early-type galaxies with blue optical colours at low redshift can be used to test our current understanding of galaxy formation and evolution. Aims: We want to reveal the fuel and triggering mechanism for star formation in these otherwise passively evolving red and dead stellar systems. Methods: We undertook an optical and ultraviolet study of 55 star forming blue early-type galaxies, searching for signatures of recent interactions that could be driving the molecular gas into the galaxy and potentially triggering the star formation. Results: We report here our results on star forming blue early-type galaxies with tidal trails and in close proximity to neighbouring galaxies that are evidence of ongoing or recent interactions between galaxies. There are 12 galaxies with close companions with similar redshifts, among which two galaxies are having ongoing interactions that potentially trigger the star formation. Two galaxies show a jet feature that could be due to the complete tidal disruption of the companion galaxy. The interacting galaxies have high star formation rates and very blue optical colours. Galaxies with no companion could have undergone a minor merger in the recent past. Conclusions: The recent or ongoing interaction with a gas-rich neighbouring galaxy could be responsible for bringing cold gas to an otherwise passively evolving early-type galaxy. The sudden gas supply could trigger the star formation, eventually creating a blue early-type galaxy. The galaxies with ongoing tidal interaction are blue and star forming, thereby implying that blue early-type galaxies can exist even when the companion is on flyby so does not end up in a merger.

Understanding the experiences of relocatees during forced relocation in Chinese urban restructuring

Year: 2018

description: Despite the massive forced relocation of residents during urban restructuring in China, there is no systematic overview regarding how residents experience the process and its outcomes. Most studies concerning urban restructuring in China directly equate forced relocation with displacement, which has a negative connotation. This exclusively negative view overlooks the multifaceted effects of forced relocation on relocatees. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of relocatees’ experienced during urban redevelopment in China by establishing a conceptual model in which the time sequence of events and their context are central, and by analysing the existing research on this topic about China. It conceptualises forced relocation as a process with various and changing socio-spatial implications over time, and as a specific type of residential mobility that occurs in the context of urban restructuring. As such, the paper presents a conceptual model that includes different stages and contexts to analyse the experiences of relocatees during and after forced relocation. It divides the process of forced relocation into a pre-demolition stage, a transitional stage and a post-relocation stage and investigates the social, economic, physical, psychological and behavioural dimensions of the experiences of relocatees as affected by the macro and micro context. As such, the conceptual model is used to structure the analysis of the existing literature about residents’ experiences and subsequently identify the gaps in the literature that should be addressed in future studies of forced relocation in the Chinese context.

Ils sont de bons isolants de fils électriques et ont un module de beaucoup inférieur à celui des métaux, mais leur rapport résistance-poids est plus élevé. Ils ont un comportement viscoélastique, donc fonction du temps. Contrairement aux métaux, les matériaux polymères subissent l'effet de fluage, même à la température ambiante. On peut les diviser en quatre catégories selon leur courbe contrainte-déformation: dur et fragile, dur et fort, dur et résistant, mou et résistant. Les polymères et les plastiques résistent généralement aux alcalis, aux acides et à l'eau, mais ils sont pour la plupart modifiés par certains solvants organiques. Leur résistance à l'alteration en plein air varie d'excellente à faible, mais on peut donner à la plupart des plastiques commerciaux actuels une assez bonne résistance à l'altération. Leurs propriétés chimiques, électriques et physiques (y compris les propriétés mécaniques) sont fonction de la nature et de la quantité des divers composants.

subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework for the joint optimization of investment and operation of a microgrid, taking the impact of energy storage, renewable energy integration, and demand response into consideration. We first study the renewable energy generations in Hong kong, and identify the potential benefit of mixed deployment of solar and wind energy generations. Then we model the joint investment and operation as a two-period stochastic programming program. In period-1, the microgrid operator makes the optimal investment decisions on the capacities of solar power generation, wind power generation, and energy storage. In period-2, the operator coordinates the power supply and demand in the microgrid to minimize the operating cost. We design a decentralized algorithm for computing the optimal pricing and power consumption in period-2, based on which we solve the optimal investment problem in period-1. We also study the impact of prediction error of renewable energy generation on the portfolio investment using robust optimization framework. Using realistic meteorological data obtained from the Hong Kong observatory, we numerically characterize the optimal portfolio investment decisions, optimal day-ahead pricing and power scheduling, and demonstrate the advantage of using mixed renewable energy and demand response in terms of reducing investment cost.

description: Since 1978, market transition in China has significantly influenced the roles of the state, the market and the residents in urban restructuring. Since 2008, the central government has initiated Shantytown Redevelopment Projects (SRPs) to improve the living conditions of low-income residents. Between 2008 and 2012, about 12.6 million households were involved in SRPs, and forced to move as their dwellings were demolished. This paper investigates how SRPs are implemented by revealing how different stakeholders interact in SRPs in the city of Shenyang, China. Through indepth interviews with various stakeholders and analysis of policy documentation on SRPs, the paper reveals a complex interplay between different stakeholders, which is characterized by the centralization of the inception of SRPs, the decentralization of actual SRP implementation, changes in the role of market forces, and decreasing housing affordability and multiple deprivation of residents in SRP target areas. Various stakeholders have consensus on the need for improving the living conditions in deprived neighbourhoods and on boosting the housing market. However, conflicts arise due to frictions between the central and local governments regarding the implementation of SRPs. We also find evidence of an entrepreneurial paradox in the relationship between local governments and developers. Finally, a mismatch occurs between the scope of the SRP policy and residents’ attempts to improve their socioeconomic situation.

Ambivalence in Place Attachment

description: This paper focuses on the influence of state-led urban redevelopment on the place attachment of deprived homeowners living in danwei communities that are facing demolition in Shenyang, China. It investigates lived experiences through in-depth interviews with homeowners at the pre-demolition phase. The paper reveals how these homeowners cleverly mobilize local resources, such as strong social bonds among homeowners, low living costs, flexibility on space usage and good neighbourhood location to cope with their life constraints, which is translated into their strong neighbourhood attachment. However, various forms of neighbourhood decline have decrease their quality of life. Meanwhile, they have to move due to the impending neighbourhood demolition. State-led urban redevelopment, therefore, confronts those deprived homeowners with a dilemma concerning their strong neighbourhood dependence and the desire for better living conditions. The impending neighbourhood demolition uncovers accumulated social issues in danwei communities in the context of market reforms and institutional changes in current China, such as the emergence of deprived social groups and their struggles for better housing.

Academic Race and Gender Stereotypes and Adolescents’ Self-Perceptions
Creators: name: Skinner, Olivenne D.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The relation between African American adolescents' academic self-concepts and their views about the abilities of their race and gender in-group and corresponding out-groups was examined in two academic domains: math/science and literacy. 296 seventh grade students reported their beliefs about the abilities of Blacks, Whites, girls and boys as well as their self-concept in these domains. Adolescents reported traditional academic race stereotypes, but reported that girls are better than boys in both math/science and literacy. Girls' math/science self-perceptions were related to their beliefs about the abilities of their racial out-group (i.e., Whites) and gender in-group (girls); literacy self-perceptions were related to their beliefs about the abilities of Blacks in that domain. Boys' math/science self-perceptions were related to their beliefs about the math/science abilities of Blacks and boys, but their literacy self-perceptions were unrelated to group competence perceptions. The implications for educational policy are discussed.

description: We consider strongly convex optimization problems with affine-type restrictions. We build dual problem and solve dual problem by Fast Gradient Method. We use primal-dual structure of this method to construct the solution of the primal problem. The paper contain a lot of different tricks that allows to generalize mentioned above results for almost all methods we would like to choose to solve the dual problem.

New data support the existence of the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall

description: Several large structures, including the Sloan Great Wall, the Huge Large Quasar Group, and a large gamma-ray burst cluster referred to as the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall, appear to exceed the maximum structural size predicted by Universal inflationary models. The existence of very large structures such as these might necessitate cosmological model modifications. Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous sources found in nature. They are associated with the stellar endpoints of massive stars and are found in and near distant galaxies. Since they are viable indicators of the dense part of the Universe containing normal matter, the spatial distribution of gamma-ray bursts can serve as tracers of Universal large-scale structure. An increased sample size of gamma-ray bursts with known redshift provides us with the opportunity to validate or invalidate the existence of the Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall. Nearest-neighbour tests are used to search the larger sample for evidence of clustering and a bootstrap point-radius method is used to estimate the angular cluster size. The potential influence of angular sampling biasing is studied to determine the viability of the results. The larger gamma-ray burst database further supports the existence of a statistically significant gamma-ray burst cluster at 1.6 < z < 2.1 with an estimated angular size of 2000-3000 Mpc. Although small number statistics limit our angular resolution and do not rule out the existence of adjacent and/or line-of-sight smaller structures, these structures must still clump together in order for us to see the large gamma-ray burst cluster detected here. This cluster provides support for the existence of very large-scale universal heterogeneities.

description: Objectives: The aim of this project was to establish the functional role of novel quorum sensing molecules (Diketopiperazines – DKPs) on activation of bacterial virulence properties and the potential effects on host cells as activators of the innate immune response. Methods: The effect of DKPs on the growth and virulence properties of the periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.) A7436 strain was examined. Secondarily, the effect of DKPs on human monocyte (THP-1) viability, growth and cytokine production upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation was determined. THP-1 cells were collected, counted and the cell lysate was evaluated for Interleukin 1β (IL-1β) mRNA expression. Results: Our results demonstrate that DKPs minimally affect the growth of P. g. DKP alone did not significantly alter THP-1 viability (p=0.20), indicating it was not toxic to the cells. However, analysis of the IL-1β mRNA expression indicates that DKP inhibited the inflammatory response of LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells. Conclusions: We have confirmed that DKPs minimally affect the growth of P. g. and cyclo(Leu-Pro) appears to slow the replication of THP-1 cells. Cyclo(Leu-Pro) seems to inhibit the expression of IL-1β in THP-1 cells.

description: By the analytical coupled cluster method (CCM), we study both the ground state and lowest-lying excited-state properties of the alternating bond diamond chain. The numerical exact diagonalization (ED) method is also applied to the chain to verify the accuracy of CCM results. The ED results show that the ground-state phase diagram contains two exact spin cluster solid ground states, namely, the tetramer-dimer (TD) state and dimer state, and the ferrimagnetic long-range-ordered state. We prove that the two exact spin cluster solid ground states can both be formed by CCM. Moreover, the exact spin gap in the TD state can be obtained by CCM. In the ferrimagnetic region, we find that the CCM results for some physical quantities, such as the ground-state energy, the sublattice magnetizations, and the antiferromagnetic gap, are comparable to the results obtained by numerical methods. The critical line dividing the TD state from the ferrimagnetic state is also given by CCM and is in perfect agreement with that determined by the ED method.

description: This thesis examines the relationship between the political, social, and ideological identity of funerary monuments and their patrons in late republican and early imperial Rome. It introduces the complex political climate of the Augustan age, an era in which socio-political identity shifted among both aristocracy and lower classes alike. This investigation first surveys the archaeological record of earlier Etruscan and Hellenistic funerary monuments, drawing conclusions about their relationships to later Roman developments, and secondly analyzes Augustan-era tombs as examples of a wide range of artistic styles, architectural motifs, and social considerations of the owner. Concluding statements discuss the importance of ritual commemorative culture in Rome and their interplay with the visual record, highlighting specific instances where domestic and funerary ritual convene in an effort to interpret more synthetically the original social context of these permanent structures.
