 Lectotype (designated here): — VENEZUELA. Amazonas, Maroa en el Río Guainía, 19 February 1942, Ll. Williams 14427 (VEN-386!; isolectotypes: G-438344!, G-438345!, NY!, US-1859479!).
 Nomenclatural notes:— The protologue does not state the name of the herbarium where the type of F.maroana was deposited. Berg & Villavicencio (2004) cited Williams 14427 (VEN) as the holotype, which could be a lectotypification, but it occurred after 2001 and “designated here” or similar phrase was not used (Turland et al. 2018, Art. 7.11). Here, we designate Williams 14427 (VEN-386) as the lectotype because it contains branches, leaves, stipules, and syconia.
 Taxonomical notes:— The currently accepted name for this taxon is Ficus americana subsp. guianensis.

 Nomenclatural notes:— The protologue does not state the name of the herbarium where the type of F. martinii was deposited. Berg & DeWolf (1975) listed several isotypes, but Berg (1992) considered the holotype to be deposited in Utrecht (U). This could be considered as lectotypification (Turland et al. 2018, Art. 7.11); however, the material at U contains only a lamina of a leaf, being in disagreement of the protologue that describes branches, stipules, petioles, lamina, peduncle, receptacles, and flowers. Therefore, the choice of U material should be annulled (Turland et al. 2018, Art. 9.19) and, herein, we designate the material deposited in P-00089299 as the lectotype because it contains all the elements listed above.
 Taxonomical notes:— The currently accepted name for this taxon is Ficus americana subsp. guianensis.

Metallicity determination of M dwarfs - High-resolution IR spectroscopy

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Context. Several new techniques to determine the metallicity of M dwarfs with better precision have been developed over the last decades. However, most of these studies were based on empirical methods. In order to enable detailed abundance analysis, standard methods established for warmer solar-like stars, i.e. model-dependent methods using fitting of synthetic spectra, still need to be used. Aims. In this work we continue the reliability confirmation and development of metallicity determinations of M dwarfs using high- resolution infrared spectra. The reliability was confirmed though analysis of M dwarfs in four binary systems with FGK dwarf companions and by comparison with previous optical studies of the FGK dwarfs. Methods. The metallicity determination was based on spectra taken in the J band (1.1-1.4 μm) with the CRIRES spectrograph. In this part of the infrared, the density of stellar molecular lines is limited, reducing the amount of blends with atomic lines enabling an accurate continuum placement. Lines of several atomic species were used to determine the stellar metallicity. Results. All binaries show excellent agreement between the derived metallicity of the M dwarf and its binary companion. Our results are also in good agreement with values found in the literature. Furthermore, we propose an alternative way to determine the effective temperature of M dwarfs of spectral types later than M2 through synthetic spectral fitting of the FeH lines in our observed spectra. Conclusions. We have confirmed that a reliable metallicity determination of M dwarfs can be achieved using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy. We also note that metallicites obtained with photometric metallicity calibrations available for M dwarfs only partly agree with the results we obtain from high-resolution spectroscopy.

description: We derive, adopting a direct method, the luminosity function and the formation rate of long Gamma Ray Bursts through a complete, flux-limited, sample of Swift bursts which has a high level of completeness in redshift z (~82%). We parametrise the redshift evolution of the GRB luminosity as L = L_0(1+ z)^k and we derive k = 2.5, consistently with recent estimates. The de-evolved luminosity function of GRBs can be represented by a broken power law with slopes a = -1.32 +- 0.21 and b = -1.84 +- 0.24 below and above, respectively, a characteristic break luminosity L_0,b = 10^51.45+-0.15 erg/s. Under the hypothesis of luminosity evolution we find that the GRB formation rate increases with redshift up to z~2, where it peaks, and then decreases in agreement with the shape of the cosmic star formation rate. We test the direct method through numerical simulations and we show that if it is applied to incomplete (both in redshift and/or flux) GRB samples it can misleadingly result in an excess of the GRB formation rate at low redshifts.

description: Terahertz (THz) imaging has the ability to see through otherwise opaque materials. However, due to the long wavelengths of THz radiation (λ=300μm at 1THz), far-field THz imaging techniques are heavily outperformed by optical imaging in regards to the obtained resolution. In this work we demonstrate near-field THz imaging with a single-pixel detector. We project a time-varying optical mask onto a silicon wafer which is used to spatially modulate a pulse of THz radiation. The far-field transmission corresponding to each mask is recorded by a single element detector and this data is used to reconstruct the image of an object placed on the far side of the silicon wafer. We demonstrate a proof of principal application where we image a printed circuit board on the underside of a 115μm thick silicon wafer with ~100μm (λ/4) resolution. With subwavelength resolution and the inherent sensitivity to local conductivity provided by the THz probe frequencies, we show that it is possible to detect fissures in the circuitry wiring of a few microns in size. Imaging systems of this type could have other uses where non-invasive measurement or imaging of concealed structures with high resolution is necessary, such as in semiconductor manufacturing or in bio-imaging.
Automatic Extra-Axial Cerebrospinal Fluid

description: Automatic Extra-Axial Cerebrospinal Fluid (Auto EACSF) is an open-source, interactive tool for automatic computation of brain extra-axial cerebrospinal fluid (EA-CSF) in magnetic resonance image (MRI) scans of infants. Elevated extra-axial fluid volume is a possible biomarker for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Auto EACSF aims to automatically calculate the volume of EA-CSF and could therefore be used for early diagnosis of Autism. Auto EACSF is a user-friendly application that generates a Qt application to calculate the volume of EA-CSF. The application is run through a GUI, but also provides an advanced use mode that allows execution of different steps by themselves via Python and XML scripts.

description: Galactic starburst clusters play a twin role in astrophysics, serving as laboratories for the study of stellar physics and also delineating the structure and recent star formation history of the Milky Way. In order to exploit these opportunities we have undertaken a multi-epoch spectroscopic survey of the red supergiant dominated young massive clusters thought to be present at both near and far ends of the Galactic Bar. Significant spectroscopic variability suggestive of radial pulsations was found for the yellow supergiant VdBH 222 #505. Follow-up photometric investigations revealed modulation with a period of ~23.325d; both timescale and pulsational profile are consistent with a Cepheid classification. As a consequence #505 may be recognised as one of the longest period Galactic cluster Cepheids identified to date and hence of considerable use in constraining the bright end of the period/luminosity relation at solar metallicities. In conjunction with extant photometry we infer a distance of ~6kpc for VdBH222 and an age of ~20Myr. This results in a moderate reduction in both integrated cluster mass (~2x10^4Msun) and the initial stellar masses of the evolved cluster members (~10Msun). As such, VdBH222 becomes an excellent test-bed for studying the properties of some of the lowest mass stars observed to undergo type-II supernovae. Moreover, the distance is in tension with a location of VdBH 222 at the far end of the Galactic Bar. Instead a birthsite in the near 3kpc arm is suggested; providing compelling evidence of extensive recent star formation in a region of the inner Milky Way which has hitherto been thought to be devoid of such activity.

Collaborative Justice: A Case Study Analysis of The Misdemeanor Diversion Program
Creators: name: Simpson, Ashley
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: North Carolina convicts sixteen- and seventeen-year old adolescents in the adult
criminal justice system. The Misdemeanor Diversion Program is cross-agency
collaborative program that diverts youth out of the justice system to prevent them from
suffering from the collateral consequences of an adult criminal record. "What are the key
factors that contribute to a successful court diversion collaborative?" This question is
significant to policymakers focused on public safety, protecting youth, and collaboration
amongst conflicting parties.
The findings describe the origins of the collaborative group, determine five key
success factors for collaborative, and analyze program implementation and preliminary
evaluation. The five factors leading to a successful collaborative include: (1) Prominent
Leadership Spearheading the Collaborative; (2) Framing Collateral Benefits in Alignment
with Agency Mission; (3) Simple Goal to Conceptualize and Buy Into; (4) Neutral Party
Housing Program Implementation and Management; (5) Consistent Communication
Lines Established. The findings offer insights to other counties interested in forming a
successful collaborative and provides policymakers a rehabilitative alternative to
traditional criminal court processing.

description: The Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) protein facilitates cholesterol absorption in the small intestine and mediates the absorption of other sterols, including vitamins E, vitamin K1, and coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Ezetimibe is a drug used to treat high blood cholesterol and lipid abnormalities. However, V55L/I1223N and non-conserved V55 mutations in humans and rats, respectively, have been linked to ezetimibe insensitivity. In this study, molecular modeling, which combines the molecular dynamics simulations with the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area approach, was used to estimate the change in the binding free energy of the NPC1L1 N-terminal domain (NTD) owing to the V55L mutation, Further, free energy changes for the three sterols namely, vitamin E, vitamin K1, and CoQ10 were estimated. The current study found that the V55L mutation reduced the cholesterol to NPC1L1-NTD binding free energy, which compensates for the decreased cholesterol passage through the putative tunnel induced by the ezetimibe. Therefore, molecular modeling of the free energy changes owing to mutations can successfully provide insights into the intricate details of drug inhibitors.
Deposition and Characterization of Core-Shell SrTiO3 Material for Dye Sensitized Photoelectrosynthesis Cell Applications

Year: 2017

description: A core shell semiconductor strategy for solar water splitting is exploited here based on a
Dye Sensitized Photoelectrosynthesis Cell approach. Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) shows
promise as a new material due to the wide band gap and water-splitting capacity under
light, without any applied bias. Films on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrate, were
chemically deposited using SrTiO3 solution as a shell on high surface area indium tin
oxide as the core material. After annealing, this new core-shell material was characterized
through Mott-Schottky, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy,
and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Dye loading on the substrates in the presence of
thiolate/disulfide showed photocurrent responses up to 300 μA/cm2. The core-shell
SrTiO3 films were then loaded with dye and constructed into dye sensitized solar cells.
Devices were tested through incident photon to current efficiency, linear sweep
voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy under 1 sun illumination and
with 0 V applied bias. Efficiencies on the order of 0.002% were recorded.

description: We examine what happens when a strongly many body localized system is coupled to a weak heat bath, with both system and bath containing similar numbers of degrees of freedom. Previous investigations of localized systems coupled to baths operated in regimes where the back action of the system on the bath is negligible, and concluded that the bath generically thermalizes the system. In this work we show that when the system is strongly localized and the bath is only weakly ergodic, the system can instead localize the bath. We demonstrate this both in the limit of weak coupling between system and bath, and in the limit of strong coupling, and for two different types of `weak' bath - baths which are close to an atomic limit, and baths which are close to a non-interacting limit. The existence of this `many body localization proximity effect' indicates that many body localization is more robust than previously appreciated, and can not only survive coupling to a (weak) heat bath, but can even destroy the bath.
Examining the Factor Structure of Therapist Fidelity in First-Episode Psychosis Intervention: Relationships with Baseline Client and Clinician Characteristics during Individual Resiliency Training
Creators: name: Edwards, Alexandra N.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Evidence-based approaches and early intervention have improved the long-term prognosis of individuals with schizophrenia. However, little is known about the therapeutic processes involved in individual therapy in first-episode psychosis. A comprehensive psychosocial/psychiatric program for this population, NAVIGATE, includes an individual therapy component, Individual Resiliency Training (IRT). Fidelity of clinicians’ adherence to the IRT protocol has been collected to ensure proper implementation of this manual-based intervention. These data can provide insight into the elements of the therapeutic process in this intervention. To achieve this goal, I first examined the factor structure of the IRT fidelity scale with exploratory factor analysis. Secondly, I explored the relationships of the IRT fidelity ratings (and any derived factors) with clinician years of experience and years of education, and client’s baseline symptom severity and duration of untreated psychosis. Results supported a two-factor structure of the IRT fidelity scale. Correlations between clinician years of education and fidelity ratings were statistically significant.

description: Dry, freely evolving granular materials in a dilute gaseous state coalesce into dense clusters only due to dissipative interactions. This clustering transition is important for a number of problems ranging from geophysics to cosmology. Here we show that the evolution of a dilute, freely cooling granular gas is determined in a universal way by the ratio of inertial flow and thermal velocities, that is, the Mach number. Theoretical calculations and direct numerical simulations of the granular Navier--Stokes equations show that irrespective of the coefficient of restitution, density or initial velocity distribution, the density fluctuations follow a universal quadratic dependence on the system's Mach number. We find that the clustering exhibits a scale-free dynamics but the clustered state becomes observable when the Mach number is approximately of $\mathcal{O}(1)$. Our results provide a method to determine the age of a granular gas and predict the macroscopic appearance of clusters.
Implications between generalized convexity properties of real functions

description: Motivated by the well-known implications among $t$-convexity properties of real functions, analogous relations among the upper and lower $M$-convexity properties of real functions are established. More precisely, having an $n$-tuple $(M_1,\dots,M_n)$ of continuous two-variable means, the notion of the descendant of these means (which is also an $n$-tuple $(N_1,\dots,N_n)$ of two-variable means) is introduced. In particular, when all the means $M_i$ are weighted arithmetic, then the components of their descendants are also weighted arithmetic means. More general statements are obtained in terms of the generalized quasi-arithmetic or Matkowski means. The main results then state that if a function $f$ is $M_i$-convex for all $i\in\{1,\dots,n\}$, then it is also $N_i$-convex for all $i\in\{1,\dots,n\}$. Several consequences are discussed.
The Origin of Medieval Healthcare in Northern Iberia: Hospitality, medicine, and the spread of knowledge on the Camino de Santiago
Creators: name: Valcarce-Aspegren, Marcus
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Medicine in the northwestern portion of the medieval Iberian kingdoms remains largely
uncharted academic terrain. Scholars have attributed this gap in historical knowledge to a lack of
readily available, substantial documentation. While this could be the case, some scholars have
also argued that the documentation does exist, but that the area has been overlooked
academically and that more archival research is warranted. Therefore, while historians like Luis
Garcia Ballester and Michael McVaugh have successfully been able to compose expansive and
compelling works describing healthcare in the crowns of Aragon and Castile, no such broadly
encompassing texts exist for Galicia, Asturias, Leon, and the surrounding northern territories.
Moreover, James D’Emilio writes in his book, Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia, that due
to an “orientation of North American historiography towards Mediterranean Spain and Castile
[…] Galicia and Atlantic Iberia were consequently ignored [and] dismissed as a backwater, the
early medieval kingdom remained terra incognita in international, and particularly Anglophone,
scholarship.” That is to say, perhaps due to the shortage in material evidence, much of the
literature appears to, implicitly or otherwise, overlook or dismiss these areas as mere appendices
to the greater Castilian Kingdom. The writing of Louis Barrau-Dihigo exemplify this dismissal:
“The history of the Asturian kingdom is strictly national, and lacking in documents. Finally, it
is—in its extreme poverty—most monotonous, offering hardly anything but a recitation of
battles or revolts.” Indeed, it is rather undeniable that treating the region in isolation does
present a historically barren picture. However, there are good reasons to move away from these
notions of an intellectually and culturally isolated northwest—particularly in the study of its
medieval medical practices. This paper will attempt to demonstrate that, due to the unlikely and
spectacular transformation of Galicia into one of Europe’s principal destinations for Christian
pilgrimage from 11th-14th century, it would indeed be a mistake to treat medieval healthcare in
this region as a simple extension or derivative of medicine in Castile proper.

description: Recently, there has been much interest in holographic computations of two-point non-equilibrium Green functions from AdS-Vaidya backgrounds. In the strongly coupled quantum field theory on the boundary, the dual interpretation of the background is an equilibration process called a holographic quench. The two dimensional AdS-Vaidya spacetime is a special case, dual to conformal quantum mechanics. We study how the quench is incorporated into a Hamiltonian $H + θ(t) ΔH$ and into correlation functions. With the help of recent work on correlation functions in conformal quantum mechanics, we first rederive the known two point functions, and then compute non-equilibrium 3- and 4-point functions. We also compute the 3-point function Witten diagram in the two-dimensional AdS-Vaidya background, and find agreement with the conformal quantum mechanics result.

description: Biosignatures are widely sought after within the solar system and exoplanet communities. But what are we talking about, when we talk about biosignatures? The concept of a “biosignature” is widely used to suggest a link between an observation and a biological cause, depending on the context. The term itself has, however,been defined and used in different ways in each of the different parts of the scientific community involved in the search for past or present life on Earth and beyond. With the ongoing acceleration in the search for life in our solar system and on exoplanets, there is a need for clarity and accuracy in the formulation and reporting of claims. This includes the discussion of false positives as well as false negatives. In this talk, resulting from the ISSI Tracers team, we discuss an inventory of questions that scientists and other interested parties should ask when assessing any reported detection of a “biosignature” to better understand exactly what is being claimed.This would improve clarity and accuracy in the formulation of claims and subsequent technical and public communication about some of the most profound and important questions in science and society.

description: Using a self-consistent Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach, we theoretically study the proximity-induced density of states (DOS) in clean SFF spin-valves with noncollinear exchange fields. Our results clearly demonstrate a direct correlation between the presence of a zero energy peak (ZEP) in the DOS spectrum and the persistence of spin-1 triplet pair correlations. By systematically varying the geometrical and material parameters governing the spin-valve, we point out to experimentally optimal system configurations where the ZEPs are most pronounced, and which can be effectively probed via scanning tunneling microscopy. We complement these findings in the ballistic regime by employing the Usadel formalism in the full proximity limit to investigate their diffusive SFF counterparts. We determine the optimal normalized ferromagnetic layer thicknesses which result in the largest ZEPs. Our results can serve as guidelines in designing samples for future experiments.

description: Although crisis communication and crisis management are large, evolving fields of public relations research, the intersection of crisis mitigation and legal concerns is under-explored. This study attempted to fill this gap by conducting a case study of a potentially liable organization and individual in crisis. Specifically, this thesis used a qualitative content analysis to examine The Weinstein Company’s and Harvey Weinstein’s mitigation efforts during the sexual misconduct allegations that surfaced in 2017, as well as the resulting rise of the #MeToo activist movement. In answering the research questions of this study, findings suggested that newer theories, such as the social-mediated crisis communication model, may be more appropriate to understand crises that involve potential liability, many stakeholders, and interacting traditional and social media; pointed to several tangible recommendations for potentially liable entities in crisis; and illustrated important nuances and factors that they should consider when responding.

description: We identify a scalar-tensor model embedded in the Horndeski action whose cosmological background and linear scalar fluctuations are degenerate with the concordance cosmology. The model admits a self-accelerated background expansion at late times that is stable against perturbations with a sound speed attributed to the new field that is equal to the speed of light. While degenerate in scalar fluctuations, self-acceleration of the model implies a present cosmological tensor mode propagation at < 95% of the speed of light with a damping of the wave amplitude that is > 5% less efficient than in general relativity. We show that these discrepancies are endemic to self-accelerated Horndeski theories with degenerate large-scale structure and are tested with measurements of gravitational waves emitted by events at cosmological distances. Hence, gravitational-wave cosmology breaks the dark degeneracy in observations of the large-scale structure between two fundamentally different explanations of cosmic acceleration - a cosmological constant and a scalar-tensor modification of gravity. The gravitational wave event GW150914 recently detected with the aLIGO instruments and its potential association with a weak short gamma-ray burst observed with the Fermi GBM experiment may have provided this crucial measurement.

Mechanism of AADACL1 Regulation of PKC Isoforms in Human Platelets
Creators: name: Wang, Putianqi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Our lab discovered a novel enzyme, arylacetamide deacetylase-like 1 (AADACL1) that regulates lipid metabolism and platelet activation in human platelets. Inhibition of AADACL1 by a small molecule inhibitor JW480 decreases platelet aggregation in response to platelet agonists such as collagen. Our work suggests that AADACL1 regulates platelet activation through its lipid substrate, 2-acetyl monoalkylglycerol ether (2­acetyl MAGE), which we hypothesize directly modulates protein kinase C (PKC) function. The lipid 2-acetyl MAGE binds a PKC lipid binding domain with high affinity, similar to the PKC activator, diacylglycerol and decreases PKC kinase activity in vitro. Consistent with this, inhibition of AADACL1 also correlates with decreased PKC phosphorylation in human platelets. These data provide evidence that AADACL1 closely regulates PKC activation in platelets and reveal the drug target potential of AADACL1.

description: We demonstrate that popular linear fixed-effects panel-data estimators are biased and inconsistent when applied in a discrete-time hazard setting, even if the data-generating process is consistent with the linear model. The bias is not just survival bias, but originates from the impossibility to transform the model such that the remaining disturbance term becomes conditional mean independent of the explanatory variables. The bias is hence present even in the absence of unobserved heterogeneity. We discuss instrumental variables estimation, using first-differences of the explanatory variables as instruments, as alternative estimation strategy. Monte Carlo simulations and an empirical application substantiate our theoretical results.
A topological study of gravity waves generated by moving bodies using the method of steepest descents

description: The standard analytical approach for studying gravity free-surface waves generated by a moving body often relies upon a linearization of the physical geometry, where the body is considered asymptotically small in one or several of its dimensions. In this paper, a methodology that avoids any such geometrical simplification is presented for the case of flows at low speeds. The approach is made possible through a reduction of the water-wave equations to a complex-valued integral equation that can be studied using the method of steepest descents. The main result is a theory that establishes a correspondence between a given physical flow geometry, with the topology of the Riemann surface formed by the steepest descent paths. Then, when a geometrical feature of the body is modified, a corresponding change to the Riemann surface is observed, and the resultant effects to the water waves can be derived. This visual procedure is demonstrated for the case of two-dimensional free-surface flow past a surface-piercing ship and over an angled step in a channel.

Live imaging of megakaryocytes from cranial bone marrow using multiphoton microscopy
Creators: name: Harousseau, Gabriel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Platelet production is a tightly regulated process that occurs predominantly in the bone marrow. To study the biology of platelet precursor cells, megakaryocytes, we established a microscopy technique to visualize platelet production in live mice. This technique is now used to determine the role of Rap1, a small GTPase, in platelet production. Specifically, we monitor megakaryocyte proplatelet formation (PPF) in mutant mice for Rap1 and its regulator, Rasa3, in real time. With the videos collected, it is evident that the developed protocol was successful at capturing PPF in cranial BM of mice. The preliminary qualitative observations made from acquisition of these events in mutant mice help to support data made ex-vivo and better understand the role of Rap1 in platelet production. Compared to control, mice lacking both isoforms of Rap1, Rap1a and Rap1b, exhibited periods of proplatelet extension and retraction, suggesting a difficulty in proplatelet release from Mk cell body. Rasa3 mutant mice exhibited mutant Mk morphology, however, were still capable of PPF in BM sinusoids.

description: We propose a replication of the original Schachter (1951) deviation-rejection study. Schachter’s ground-breaking demonstration of the deviation-rejection link has captivated social psychologists for decades. The findings and paradigm were so compelling that the deviation-rejection link is often taken for granted and sometimes may be misrepresented (Berkowitz, 1971; Wahrman & Pugh, 1972). Because there have only been two direct replications, one of which by the original author, we believe it is important to revisit the original study.
Production and Measurement of Artificial Optical Nanostructures Mimicking the Blue Morpho Butterfly
Creators: name: Kunesh, Adam

Year: 2017

description: The Amazonian Blue Morpho Rhetenor's vibrant blue coloration is an archetype of structural color in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from nature, researchers have attempted to reproduce the treelike nanostructures for applications in tunable color, security, and gas sensory. Previous work has produced highly periodic structures over small areas; these structures provide the desired color over a small range of viewing angles, but lack the angular independence of the butterfly's coloration. To remedy this diffractive effect, a Direct Write exposure method is employed to randomize the periodicity of spacings between photonic structures. Optimization and implementation
of this method yields a variety of heretofore unseen structures, many of which dramatically improve the angle-independence of observed color. Additional finite-difference time-domain simulation gives insight into how each structural parameter affects reflected light. In general, thin, straight trunks with long branches produce optical characteristics most similar to the Morpho.

Two-Flavor Lattice QCD with a Finite Density of Heavy Quarks: Heavy-Dense Limit and "Particle-Hole" Symmetry

description: We investigate the properties of the half-filling point in lattice QCD (LQCD), in particular the disappearance of the sign problem and the emergence of an apparent particle-hole symmetry, and try to understand where these properties come from by studying the heavy-dense fermion determinant and the corresponding strong-coupling partition function (which can be integrated analytically). We then add in a first step an effective Polyakov loop gauge action (which reproduces the leading terms in the character expansion of the Wilson gauge action) to the heavy-dense partition function and try to analyze how some of the properties of the half-filling point change when leaving the strong coupling limit. In a second step, we take also the leading nearest-neighbor fermion hopping terms into account (including gauge interactions in the fundamental representation) and mention how the method could be improved further to incorporate the full set of nearest-neighbor fermion hoppings. Using our mean-field method, we also obtain an approximate ($μ$,T) phase diagram for heavy-dense LQCD at finite inverse gauge coupling $β$. Finally, we propose a simple criterion to identify the chemical potential beyond which lattice artifacts become dominant.

The inhibitory protein PMEPA1, but not SMAD7, inhibits BMP signaling in endothelial cells
Creators: name: Citrin, Kathryn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Angiogenesis is the development of blood vessels from existing vasculature via sprouting of endothelial cells. It is regulated by growth factor signals including Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP), a member of the TGFβ superfamily of signaling pathways. The BMP ligand leads to intracellular signaling and response via engagement with the heterotetrameric BMP receptor on the surface of an endothelial cell (EC). The receptor complex phosphorylates
intracellular SMAD1/5/8 proteins. These proteins then bind to SMAD4 protein to facilitate nuclear translocation and transcriptional regulation. The Notch signaling pathway has been shown to downregulate EC responsiveness to BMP signaling by mechanisms that are not fully understood.

A transgender individual's lived experiences: Navigating discrimination and stigma in healthcare
Creators: name: Cicero, Ethan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This paper explores the various types of marginalization transgender individuals experience on a
daily basis and its direct impact on the aggregation of health disparities for this population. In
addition, responses from the healthcare community to the documented injustices of transgender
people are analyzed at a federal, systems, and academic level. Conceptual frameworks are also
evaluated to further understand and care for transgender clients. Using a phenomenological
approach, this research describes the lived experiences of a transgender individual with
healthcare, specifically how they navigate discrimination and stigma with providers, nurses,
administrative staff, and facilities. Analysis revealed four themes, both with navigating
healthcare and social interactions that have influenced his sense of self and state of health. These
themes are (a) calculating the disclosure of a transgender identity, (b) managing discomfort of
self and others, (c) respect and validation from others, and (d) lack of healthcare access. Practical
implications for healthcare providers are also investigated, including opportunities for furthering
the advancement of the healthcare profession as it relates to caring for the transgender
community.
