Expression of Fatty Acid Oxidation-Related Genes in Acsl4 L -/-  Primary Hepatocytes
Creators: name: Lin, Dennis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases are a family of enzymes responsible for catalyzing the reaction converting long chain fatty acids to fatty acyl-CoA. ACSL4, a specific member of this family, plays a role in eicosanoid metabolism and has been found to be associated with liver diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. In order to study ACSL4 in the context of hepatic lipid metabolism, a murine liver-specific Acsl4 knockout (Acsl4 L -/-) was developed and characterized in our lab. Based on a previous experiment in our lab, we hypothesized that Acsl4 L -/- would cause a defect in beta adrenergic signaling. In order to test this hypothesis, we conducted experiments to determine the effects of various treatments on the expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes in both knockout and control hepatocytes. Treatments with fatty acids caused increases in expression of several fatty acid oxidation-related genes in both knockout and control hepatocytes. Hormone treatments did not cause anticipated increases in expression of fatty acid oxidation-related genes in several of the control groups. Because of this we were not able to make conclusions about the effects of the knockout. These results indicated that Acsl4 L -/- did not cause a defect in beta adrenergic signaling.

 Cell dimensions: 110–120 μm length, 87–90 μm width, 30–37 μm isthmus.
 Material examined: BRAZIL, Bahia, Santa Teresinha, Serra da Jiboia. 14-I-2015, G. J. P. Ramos et al. s/n (HUEFS 224653), 18-VII-2015, G. J. P. Ramos et al. s/n (HUEFS 224673), 20-XI-2015, G. J. P. Ramos et al. s/n (HUEFS 224711).
 Habitat: bromeliad tanks (Alcantarea nahoumii); T 26.8 (± 3.4 ºC). pH 6.2 (± 0.7). C 0.26 (± 0.14 mS. cm-1). TDS 0.13 (± 0.06 ppt). DO 6.0 (± 1.5 mg.L- 1).
 Notes: The cells of Cosmarium pachydermum var. aethiopicum have smooth outlines and are broadly elliptic rather than broadly oval, with thinner cell walls than in the nominate variety (Coesel & Meesters 2007). This taxon was previously identified from bromeliads at Serra da Jiboia as C. ralfsii (= Micrasterias ralfisii (Brebisson ex Ralfs) Skaloud et al.) (Ramos et al. 2011), however after reanalysis of the material we have identified it now as C. pachydermum var. aethiopicum. Confusion between those two taxa has been very common in floristic studies in Brazil, and although part of the literature considers the size of the isthmus as the main diagnostic feature, we consider the apical view to be a more relevant morphological feature for differentiating them. In apical view, C. pachydermum var. aethiopicum presents an ellipsoidal cell, whereas C. ralfsii (= M. ralfisii) appears fusiform.
 There are only three records of C. pachydermum var. aethiopicum in Brazil, two from São Paulo (Taniguchi et al. 2003, Araujo 2006) and one from Mato Grosso do Sul (Santos 2008). The present record is the first from northeastern Brazil.

description: We consider a hybrid digital-analog quantum computing approach, which allows implementing any quantum algorithm without standard two-qubit gates. This approach is based on the always-on interaction between qubits, which can provide an alternative to such gates. We show how digital-analog approach can be applied to simulate the dynamics of fermionic systems, in particular the Fermi-Hubbard model, using fermionic SWAP network and refocusing technique. We concentrate on the effects of connectivity topology, spread of interaction constants as well as on errors of entangling operations. We find that an optimal connectivity topology of qubits for the digital-analog simulation of fermionic systems of arbitrary dimensionality is a chain for spinless fermions and a ladder for spin-1/2 particles. Such a simple connectivity topology makes digital-analog approach attracting for the fermionic quantum simulation.

description: We measure the cosmic shear power spectrum on large angular scales by cross-correlating the shapes of ~9 million galaxies measured in the optical SDSS survey with the shapes of ~2.7x10^5 radio galaxies measured by the overlapping VLA-FIRST survey. Our measurements span the multipole range 10 < l < 130, corresponding to angular scales 2deg < θ < 20deg. On these scales, the shear maps from both surveys suffer from significant systematic effects that prohibit a measurement of the shear power spectrum from either survey alone. Conversely we demonstrate that a power spectrum measured by cross-correlating the two surveys is unbiased. We measure an E-mode power spectrum from the data that is inconsistent with zero signal at the 99\% confidence (~2.7σ) level. The odd-parity B-mode signal and the EB cross- correlation are both found to be consistent with zero (within 1σ). These constraints are obtained after a careful error analysis that accounts for uncertainties due to cosmic variance, random galaxy shape noise and shape measurement errors, as well as additional errors associated with the observed large-scale systematic effects in the two surveys. Our constraints are consistent with the expected signal in the concordance cosmological model assuming recent estimates of the cosmological parameters from the Planck satellite, and literature values for the median redshifts of the SDSS and FIRST galaxy populations. The cross-power spectrum approach described in this paper represents a powerful technique for mitigating shear systematics and will be ideal for extracting robust results, with the exquisite control of systematics required, from future cosmic shear surveys with the SKA, LSST, Euclid and WFIRST-AFTA.

Seeking Clarity in Postholes: An Examination of Coles Creek Earthfast Architecture
Creators: name: Warshauer, Isaac M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: This thesis examines evidence of earthfast structures at five Coles Creek sites: Baptiste
(16Av25), Gordon (22Je501), Greenhouse (16Av2), Nick Farm (16Av22), and St. Gabriel
(16Iv128). Using image analysis techniques to take measurements from site maps, structures at
each site are examined and likely construction methods are determined. This information, along
with the greater context of the structures, is used to determine the functions of the Coles Creek
buildings. Large enclosures and smaller shrines provide evidence for ritual activity on premound
surfaces. Residences appear to feature both circular and rectangular structures, perhaps
serving as seasonal dwellings. Mound summits do not seem to have held residences and many
mound-top post features may not have been associated with roofed structures and instead may
represent light construction and ritual post-setting.

description: We study the LHC searches for the heavy $CP$-odd Higgs boson $A$ and $CP$-even Higgs boson $H$ in the context of general two-Higgs-doublet model. Specifically, we consider the decay mode of $A/H\to t \bar t $ through the $b \bar b$ or $t \bar t $ associated production channels. In the so-called "alignment limit" of the two-Higgs-doublet model, this decay mode can be the most dominant one. By employing the HEPTopTagger and the multi-variable-analysis method, we present the search sensitivities for both $CP$-odd Higgs boson $A$ and $CP$-even Higgs boson $H$ via these channels at the high-luminosity LHC runs.

description: Community Search (CS) is one of the fundamental graph analysis tasks, which is a building block of various real applications. Given any query nodes, CS aims to find cohesive subgraphs that query nodes belong to. Recently, a large number of CS algorithms are designed. These algorithms adopt predefined subgraph patterns to model the communities, which cannot find ground-truth communities that do not have such pre-defined patterns in real-world graphs. Thereby, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) based approaches are proposed to capture flexible community structures by learning from ground-truth communities in a data-driven fashion. These approaches rely on sufficient training data to provide enough generalization for ML models, however, the ground-truth cannot be comprehensively collected beforehand. In this paper, we study ML/DL-based approaches for CS, under the circumstance of small training data. Instead of directly fitting the small data, we extract prior knowledge which is shared across multiple CS tasks via learning a meta model. Each CS task is a graph with several queries that possess corresponding partial ground-truth. The meta model can be swiftly adapted to a task to be predicted by feeding a few task-specific training data. We find that trivially applying multiple classical metalearning algorithms to CS suffers from problems regarding prediction effectiveness, generalization capability and efficiency. To address such problems, we propose a novel meta-learning based framework, Conditional Graph Neural Process (CGNP), to fulfill the prior extraction and adaptation procedure. A meta CGNP model is a task-common node embedding function for clustering, learned by metric-based graph learning, which fully exploits the characteristics of CS. We compare CGNP with CS algorithms and ML baselines on real graphs with ground-truth communities.

description: We present the development of a segmented fast neutron spectrometer (FaNS-2) based upon plastic scintillator and $^3$He proportional counters. It was designed to measure both the flux and spectrum of fast neutrons in the energy range of few MeV to 1 GeV. FaNS-2 utilizes capture-gated spectroscopy to identify neutron events and reject backgrounds. Neutrons deposit energy in the plastic scintillator before capturing on a $^3$He nucleus in the proportional counters. Segmentation improves neutron energy reconstruction while the large volume of scintillator increases sensitivity to low neutron fluxes. A main goal of its design is to study comparatively low neutron fluxes, such as cosmogenic neutrons at the Earth's surface, in an underground environment, or from low-activity neutron sources. In this paper, we present details of its design and construction as well as its characterization with a calibrated $^{252}$Cf source and monoenergetic neutron fields of 2.5 MeV and 14 MeV. Detected monoenergetic neutron spectra are unfolded using a Singular Value Decomposition method, demonstrating a 5% energy resolution at 14 MeV. Finally, we discuss plans for measuring the surface and underground cosmogenic neutron spectra with FaNS-2.

The Effects of Limited Research on HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors on Medication Administration and Patient Education in the Inpatient Setting
Creators: name: Luttrell, Ashleigh
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, better known as statins, are used to lower the amount of
cholesterol in the blood. Due to this action, popular opinion favored the idea that these
medications be administered in the evening, when the liver synthesizes the most cholesterol. The
paradigm has shifted, though, and new ideas on when to administer these drugs have come up.
Unfortunately, there is no research supporting any new administration time and it appears that
the old favored way never really had any research behind it to begin with. This has negatively
impacted the healthcare field, both providers and patients alike. Providers have been left to
interpret and practice based on the results of contradicting research data and patients have been
receiving education that could be incorrect. And in the age of patients receiving care at multiple
institutions, patients also run the risk of hearing differing information about the same topic,
which can lead to confusion and decreased medication compliance. In order to fully resolve this
issue, more research on the administration time of statins is needed.

description: To understand how peppermint responds to different LED light qualities during the early vegetative phase, peppermints were illuminated with three different LED light conditions (RB = Red/Blue, RGB = Red/Green/Blue, SUN = artificial sunlight closely resembling the terrestrial sunlight spectrum between 380 and 780 nm) in an automated vertical cultivation system. RB resulted in compact growth, whereas both green-containing lighting conditions induced excessive stem and side branch elongations and significant leaf expansions. Although peppermint plants achieved marketable appearances regardless of lighting condition, essential oil (EO) compositions with highly elevated amounts of pulegone and menthofuran did not meet consumer safety requirements. Both artificial SUN and RB spectra showed lower concentrations of pulegone in the EO at 41 and 43%, respectively, than detected under RGB at more than 49%. Reasons for this undesirable EO composition are discussed as a result of the lighting conditions applied and the early harvest time, leading to an incomplete reduction of pulegone to menthone during biosynthesis. Based on these findings, aromatic peppermint cultivation under LEDs can be improved to meet regulatory requirements and highlights the need for analytical quality controls regarding consumer safety to evaluate the applicability of LED lighting for fresh herb productions.

description: The goal of the paper is to set the foundations and prove some topological results about moduli spaces of non-smooth metric measure structures with non-negative Ricci curvature in a synthetic sense (via optimal transport) on a compact topological space; more precisely, we study moduli spaces of RCD(0,N)-structures. First, we relate the convergence of RCD(0,N)-structures on a space to the associated lifts' equivariant convergence on the universal cover. Then we construct the Albanese and soul maps, which reflect how structures on the universal cover split, and we prove their continuity. Finally, we construct examples of moduli spaces of RCD(0,N)-structures that have non-trivial rational homotopy groups.

description: We consider three channel models: the wiretap channel with $M$ helpers, the $K$-user multiple access wiretap channel, and the $K$-user interference channel with an external eavesdropper, when no eavesdropper's channel state information (CSI) is available at the transmitters. In each case, we establish the optimal sum secure degrees of freedom (s.d.o.f.) by providing achievable schemes and matching converses. We show that the unavailability of the eavesdropper's CSIT does not reduce the s.d.o.f. of the wiretap channel with helpers. However, there is loss in s.d.o.f. for both the multiple access wiretap channel and the interference channel with an external eavesdropper. In particular, we show that in the absence of eavesdropper's CSIT, the $K$-user multiple access wiretap channel reduces to a wiretap channel with $(K-1)$ helpers from a sum s.d.o.f. perspective, and the optimal sum s.d.o.f. reduces from $\frac{K(K-1)}{K(K-1)+1}$ to $\frac{K-1}{K}$. For the interference channel with an external eavesdropper, the optimal sum s.d.o.f. decreases from $\frac{K(K-1)}{2K-1}$ to $\frac{K-1}{2}$ in the absence of the eavesdropper's CSIT. Our results show that the lack of eavesdropper's CSIT does not have a significant impact on the optimal s.d.o.f. for any of the three channel models, especially when the number of users is large. This implies that physical layer security can be made robust to the unavailability of eavesdropper CSIT at high signal to noise ratio (SNR) regimes by careful modification of the achievable schemes as demonstrated in this paper.

 Notes: This taxon was previously known for this area as Cosmarium logiense Bissett (1884:194) (Ramos et al. 2011), however after a detailed reanalysis of the material including SEM observations, we decided to reidentify it as C. scrobiculosum. The confusion between these taxa is common in some floristic studies in Brazil. The specimens identified as C. logiense by Oliveira (2011) and Biolo (2016), probably, refer to C. scrobiculosum. In Brazil, there are records of this species in north region (Grönblad 1945, Thomasson 1977), southeast (Borge 1918) and midwest (Borge 1903).

description: Cross-validation (CV) is one of the most widely used techniques in statistical learning for estimating the test error of a model, but its behavior is not yet fully understood. It has been shown that standard confidence intervals for test error using estimates from CV may have coverage below nominal levels. This phenomenon occurs because each sample is used in both the training and testing procedures during CV and as a result, the CV estimates of the errors become correlated. Without accounting for this correlation, the estimate of the variance is smaller than it should be. One way to mitigate this issue is by estimating the mean squared error of the prediction error instead using nested CV. This approach has been shown to achieve superior coverage compared to intervals derived from standard CV. In this work, we generalize the nested CV idea to the Cox proportional hazards model and explore various choices of test error for this setting.

description: This thesis explores the effect of domestic trials of key strongman figures on
reconciliation between the state and society. By strongman, I refer to a powerful, leading
political figure that ruled by force. For reconciliation, I use a commonly accepted,
simplistic definition that implies a conciliatory relationship between two formerly
antagonistic persons or groups. Though reconciliation is both a goal and a process, in this
thesis I refer to reconciliation as a goal that must be achieved (Bloomfield, Barnes and
Huyse 2003, 12). I illustrate that reconciliation is achieved successfully after a lengthy
and multifaceted process, and that process culminates in the trial of a strongman.

description: Any solution to the Yang-Baxter equation yields a family of representations of braid groups. Under certain conditions, identified by Turaev, the appropriately normalized trace of these representations yields a link invariant. Any Yang-Baxter solution can be interpreted as a two-qudit quantum gate. Here we show that if this gate is non-entangling, then the resulting invariant of knots is trivial. We thus obtain a general connection between topological entanglement and quantum entanglement, as suggested by Kauffman et al.

 Notes: This species is relatively easy to identify, as the base of the semicell is ornamented by a set of plications. Nonetheless, certain care was needed in the analysis of the populations from Serra da Jiboia because that species was often found in the same samples as Pleurotaenium trabecula. Although the latter species differs by having a semicell base without plications and larger cell dimensions, the populations of those taxa, when occurring together, give the false impression of morphological variation in a single species. This is the first report of the genus Docidium occurring in a phytotelmata habitat.

Building a good relationship with medical staff is also relevant for the treatment decision-making process for cancer patients. Studies about the role of a specific migrant background regarding patient preferences and expectations are lacking. We therefore conducted a multicentre prospective survey to explore the needs and preferences of patients with a migrant background (PMB) suffering from gynecological malignancies and breast cancer to evaluate the quality of doctor-patient communication and cancer management compared to non-migrants (NM). Methods: This multicentre survey recruited patients with primary or recurrence of breast, ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. The patients either filled out a paper form, participated via an online survey, or were interviewed by trained staff. A 58-item questionnaire was primarily developed in German and then translated into three different languages to reach non-German-speaking patients. Results: A total of 606 patients were included in the study: 54.1% (328) were interviewed directly, 9.1% (55) participated via an online survey, and 36.8% (223) used the paper print version. More than one quarter, 27.4% (166) of the participants, had a migrant background. The majority of migrants and NM were highly satisfied with the communication with their doctors. First-generation migrants (FGM) and patients with breast cancer were less often informed about participation in clinical trials (p < 0.05) and 24.5% of them suggested the help of an interpreter to improve the medical consultation. Second and third-generation migrants (SGM and TGM) experienced more fatigue and nausea than expected. Conclusions: Our results allow the hypothesis that training medical staff in intercultural competence and using disease-related patient information in different languages can improve best supportive care management and quality of life in cancer patients with migrant status.

description: Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) is an algorithm that incorporates stochastic modification of the action as part of the process that updates the fields in a Monte Carlo simulation. Such update moves have the potential of lowering or eliminating potential barriers that may cause inefficiencies in exploring the field configuration space. The highly successful Cluster algorithms for spin systems can be derived from the RMC framework. In this work we apply RMC ideas to pure gauge theory, aiming to alleviate the critical slowing down observed in the topological charge evolution as well as other long distance observables. We present various formulations of the basic idea and report on our numerical experiments with these algorithms.

Understanding Interprofessional Communication in an Internal Medicine Transitions Clinic
Creators: name: Danneker, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Background: Effective communication amongst healthcare professionals is essential to improve handoffs for patients as they move through the healthcare system, thus reducing readmission rates and improving care.  The purpose of this research was to identify where communication is strongest, where breakdowns occur, and what can be done to improve interprofessional communication in a primary care clinic.
Methods:  Three employees at the UNC Transitions Clinic were interviewed: one pharmacist, social worker, and resident.  Each employee was emailed a copy of the questions before the interview.  The interview was conducted one-on-one, audio recorded, and transcribed into a word document.  Themes from each response were identified and organized into an excel spreadsheet, then analyzed by two reviewers.
Results:  Three major themes stood out in the responses: effective communication, communication challenges, and the need for interprofessional learning.  The individuals interviewed each spoke about these three topics and their personal experiences, coming from three different professional backgrounds.
Conclusion:  The most effective way that participants communicated was in morning, face-to-face huddles.  It is an important time to discuss priorities for patients and keep everyone communicating effectively.  However due to time constraints, this often is rushed through or doesn’t happen at all.  The biggest communication challenge reported was lack of time.  Being rushed causes communication breakdown that results in redundant care and inefficiency.  The biggest need identified was a need for interdisciplinary education.  It is highly important for various healthcare related disciplines to be able to communicate effectively, however, we have yet to integrate this into the curriculum.

A revisit of generalized scaling of forced turbulence through flux analysis

description: In this investigation, we theoretically studied the transports of kinetic energy and scalar variance in turbulence driven by a scalar-based volume force in $M{\nabla}^β s'$ form associated with scalar fluctuations $s'$ in wavenumber space relies on flux conservation equation. The equation has one real solution and two complex solutions, which lead to four different cascade processes, including inertial subrange (constant fluxes of kinetic energy and scalar variance), CEF subrange (quasi-constant flux of kinetic energy), CSF subrange (quasi-constant flux of scalar variance), and a new subrange with both non-constant fluxes of kinetic energy and scalar variance in addition to dissipation subrange. $β$ controls the cascade processes and the scaling exponents. For the real solution, in the CEF subrange, $ξ_u$ is always -5/3, while $ξ_s=-(6β+1)/3$. In the CSF subrange, $ξ_u=(4β-11)/5$ and $ξ_s=-(2β+7)/5$ which are both consistent with the theory of Zhao and Wang (2021). Relying on $β$, the transport of kinetic energy and scalar variance can be distinguished as four cases. (1) When $β<3/2$ (except $β=2/3$), the CEF and CSF subranges are coexisted, with the former located on the lower wavenumber side of the latter. At $β=2/3$, a new inertial subrange with both $ξ_u$ and $ξ_s$ equal to -5/3 is present. (2) When $3/2<=β<2$, only the CEF subrange is predicted. (3) At $β=2$, special and singular exponents of $ξ_u=-1$, $ξ_s=-3$, $λ_u=1$, and $λ_s=-1$ can be found, if $MN=1$. Otherwise, a CSF subrange is predicted. (4) When $2<β<=4$, only the CSF subrange is predicted. Thus, a complete transport picture of both kinetic energy and scalar variance has been established for the type of forced turbulence.

The view from the boundary: a new void stacking method

description: We introduce a new method for stacking voids and deriving their profile that greatly increases the potential of voids as a tool for precision cosmology. Given that voids are highly non-spherical and have most of their mass at their edge, voids are better described relative to their boundary rather than relative to their centre, as in the conventional spherical stacking approach. The boundary profile is obtained by computing the distance of each volume element from the void boundary. Voids can then be stacked and their profiles computed as a function of this boundary distance. This approach enhances the weak lensing signal of voids, both shear and convergence, by a factor of two when compared to the spherical stacking method. It also results in steeper void density profiles that are characterised by a very slow rise inside the void and a pronounced density ridge at the void boundary. The resulting boundary density profile is self-similar when rescaled by the thickness of the density ridge, implying that the average rescaled profile is independent of void size. The boundary velocity profile is characterized by outflows in the inner regions whose amplitude scales with void size, and by a strong inflow into the filaments and walls delimiting the void. This new picture enables a straightforward discrimination between collapsing and expanding voids both for individual objects as well as for stacked samples.

description: We propose a random feature model for approximating high-dimensional sparse additive functions called the hard-ridge random feature expansion method (HARFE). This method utilizes a hard-thresholding pursuit-based algorithm applied to the sparse ridge regression (SRR) problem to approximate the coefficients with respect to the random feature matrix. The SRR formulation balances between obtaining sparse models that use fewer terms in their representation and ridge-based smoothing that tend to be robust to noise and outliers. In addition, we use a random sparse connectivity pattern in the random feature matrix to match the additive function assumption. We prove that the HARFE method is guaranteed to converge with a given error bound depending on the noise and the parameters of the sparse ridge regression model. Based on numerical results on synthetic data as well as on real datasets, the HARFE approach obtains lower (or comparable) error than other state-of-the-art algorithms.

description: Euastrum luetkemuelleri var. carniolicum (Lütkemüller) Willi Krieger (1937: 561). (Figs 58–67)
 Cell dimensions: 22–27 μm length, 12–16 μm width, 4.5–6 μm isthmus; Zygospore 19–26 μm diameter.
 Material examined: BRAZIL, Bahia, Santa Teresinha, Serra da Jiboia. 14-I-2015, G. J. P. Ramos et al. s/n (HUEFS 224662), 18-VII-2015, G. J. P. Ramos et al. s/n (HUEFS 224676), 11-IX-2015, G. J. P. Ramos et al. s/n (HUEFS 224698), 20-XI-2015, G. J. P. Ramos et al. s/n (HUEFS 224718).
 Habitat: bromeliad tanks (Alcantarea nahoumii); T 27.2 (± 3.2 ºC). pH 5.8 (± 0.4). C 0.24 (± 0.18 mS. cm-1). TDS 0.11 (± 0.09 ppt). DO 7.4 (± 3.2 mg.L- 1).
 Notes: Euastrum luetkemuelleri var. carniolicum was previously identified in the area as Euastrum sublobatum var. sublobatum f. elongatum (Ramos et al. 2011). A more detailed analysis of the material (including other cell views and SEM analysis), however, allowed us to state that it is a different taxon. Euastrum sublobatum shows a median intumescence in lateral view, a characteristic absent in E. luetkemuelleri.
Some morphological variation was observed in the outline of the basal lobe, which could be retuse or slightly concave. Variation was also observed in the shape of the zygospores, ranging from ellipsoidal to spherical (the most common), always with spines.

Food for Thought: Impacts of Market Integration on Diet and Health in Indigenous Communities in the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon
Creators: name: Pleasants, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This project examines the relationships between market integration, dietary quality, and objective health measures in four of the indigenous peoples living the Northern Ecuadorian Amazon. Ascertaining dietary quality was undertaken by determining Food Variety Scores (FVS) and Diet Diversity Scores based on three different weighting systems—Unweighted Diet Diveristy Score (UWDDS), Protein Weighted Diet Diversity Score (PWDDS), and Value Weighted Diet Diversity Score (VWDDS)—to represent the variety and diversity of foods being eaten in the seven study communities. Objective health measures—BMI, skinfold measurements and z-scores, hemoglobin, and symptoms of illness—were analyzed to provide a picture of the health experienced by people living in these communities. The diet scores were related to measures of market integration based on household time allocation to determine how diet could have changed and how that related to changes in market integration. . It was found that highest diet diversity scores occurred where the largest amount of time spent buying, leading to the conclusion that these communities are utilizing both market and traditional food sources to maximize the their use of accessible foods. The diet scores were then related to health to show how differences in dietary quality impacted health in these communities. The relationships between health and diet quality were mixed, but the high variability in some of the skinfold z-scores and the presence of overweight and obesity in these communities suggest a trend of increasing risk for poor health in these populations as the first concrete impacts of increasing market integration on health are seen. Further research is needed to support this and to more fully understand how market integration is affecting diet and health in these communities.

description: The famous 1960s Lumer-Phillips Theorem states that a closed and densely defined operator $A\colon D(A)\subseteq X\rightarrow X$ on a Banach space $X$ generates a strongly continuous contraction semigroup if and only if $(A,D(A))$ is dissipative and the range of $λ-A$ is surjective in $X$ for some $λ>0$. In this paper, we establish a version of this result for bi-continuous semigroups and apply the latter amongst other examples to the transport equation as well as to flows on infinite networks.
