All Hype or Helping? An Exploration of the Joint Sustainability Efforts between Outdoor and Luxury Brands
Creators: name: Dobrowski, Carson
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: All hype or actually helping? This study explored the joint sustainability efforts between outdoor and luxury brands and proved these collaborations do both. The current sustainability efforts do not effectively mitigate the devastating environmental impacts of the fashion industry, but they act as a catalyst for greater change. If these trendsetters use their success to create new supply channels, improved materials, and better practices, it could help open new paths for all parts of the fashion industry. The partnerships between brands allows for greater education amongst consumers, in hopes of persuading them to buy sustainably. Currently, consumers will not purchase sustainable items if they sacrifice price and design. Therefore, these collaborations create the opportunity to build a unified industry that has the potential to make sustainable items widely accessible. From this study, industry recommendations were provided to help the fashion industry take sustainable strides forward.

description: Despite of the increasing application of silica nanoparticles and identification of oral exposure as a major entry portal, we lack understanding of nanosilica effects in the gut. Thus, we investigated biointeractions of nanosilica with single intestinal cells. The invertebrate nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was chosen as model organism with a tractable intestine and realistic target organism of nanomaterials in the environment. We found that nanosilica impairs the intestinal uptake of oligopeptides. Downstream to absorption by the apical OPT-2/PEP-2 transporter dipeptides were trapped in aberrant vesicles that grow over time and reach diameters of ≥6 μm. The peptide vesicles do not correspond to known organelles such as gut granules and form independently of related gene products GLO-1 or GLO-3. Formation of aberrant peptide vesicles also occurred independently of insulin/IGF-I receptor (DAF-2) signaling and daf-2 loss of function mutants showed specific vesicle patterns including distinct localization along the apical membrane of single intestinal cells. As malnutrition of exposed C. elegans manifested in reduced growth and a petite phenotype similar to OPT-2/PEP-2 transporter deficient mutants, we conclude that nanosilica-induced peptide vesicles represent a new compartment of di- and tripeptide trapping which disrupts hydrolysis of nutrient peptides and metabolism.

description: The pairing correlations in hot nuclei $^{162}$Dy are investigated in terms of the thermodynamical properties by covariant density functional theory. The heat capacities $C_V$ are evaluated in the canonical ensemble theory and the paring correlations are treated by a shell-model-like approach, in which the particle number is conserved exactly. A S-shaped heat capacity curve, which agrees qualitatively with the experimental data, has been obtained and analyzed in details. It is found that the one-pair-broken states play crucial roles in the appearance of the S shape of the heat capacity curve. Moreover, due to the effect of the particle-number conservation, the pairing gap varies smoothly with the temperature, which indicates a gradual transition from the superfluid to the normal state.

A Seismo-acoustic Survey of the North Carolina Coast and Other Applications of Seismo-acoustic Sensing
Creators: name: Bird, Eli
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Seismic and infrasound data are collected in an area of the North Carolina coast that is inadequately covered by existing seismometer and microphone networks. Small arrays of diameter less than 25 meters are deployed at three sites in the region. Acoustic signals are located at the stations using short term average/ long term average algorithms. The typical directionality of arrivals at individual stations is determined, better characterizing the acoustics of the area. We confirm the functionality of the stations, through consideration of known acoustic sources from a state park. A program, based in the framework of the RSEIS package in R, is provided, streamlining similar future efforts. Additional work on acoustic arrivals at balloon-borne stations is also summarized.

description: We introduce and evaluate several architectures for Convolutional Neural Networks to predict the 3D joint locations of a hand given a depth map. We first show that a prior on the 3D pose can be easily introduced and significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of the predictions. We also show how to use context efficiently to deal with ambiguities between fingers. These two contributions allow us to significantly outperform the state-of-the-art on several challenging benchmarks, both in terms of accuracy and computation times.

Whose Evidence, Whose Time: An Analysis of Time, Evidence, and Memory In -te-un Attributive Clauses In Korean
Creators: name: Bamba, Safiatou
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The -te-un attributive clause marker in Korean, carries both evidential and temporal information. In Lee’s (1993) analysis of -te-un clauses, -te-un is licensed when the evidence belongs to the speaker and the clause describes the speaker’s past, and Lee links this temporal and evidential information through the idea of memory since memory is always about the speaker’s past. Kim’s (2016) proposal challenges Lee by arguing that the evidence in question does not necessarily belong to the speaker and that it can belong to someone else. While Kim maintains the link between evidence and temporal viewpoint, she introduces the formal device of a Viewpoint Holder (VH) that could be either the speaker or the listener and who holds both the evidence and temporal perspective. In contrast to Lee’s focus on the speaker’s past, Kim’s account argues that -te-un is licensed when the evidence belongs to VH and the eventuality described by -te-un describes the VH’s past. Accepting Kim’s argument that evidence could belong to someone other than the speaker, in this paper I question the formal link between temporal and evidential information. To this end, I aim to show that (a) introducing a VH makes no temporal predictions beyond an analysis without one, and (b) that when considering some uncommon contexts, the VH analysis makes incorrect predictions not made by an analysis without a VH. This paper suggests that, formally, evidence and temporal information should be separated.

Undulation Amplitude of a Fluid Membrane Surrounded by Near-Critical Binary Fluid Mixtures
Creators: name: Fujitani, Youhei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the thermal undulation, or shape fluctuation, of an almost planar fluid membrane surrounded by the same near-critical binary fluid mixtures on both sides. A weak preferential attraction is assumed between the membrane and one component of the mixture. We use the Gaussian free-energy functional to study the equilibrium average of the undulation amplitude within the linear approximation with respect to the amplitude. According to our result given by a simple analytic formula, the ambient near-criticality tends to suppress the undulation of a membrane, and this suppression effect can overwhelm that of the bending rigidity for small wave numbers. Thus, the ambient near-criticality is suggested to prevent a large membrane from becoming floppy even if the lateral tension vanishes at the equilibrium.

description: Machine learning is a class of algorithms able to handle a large number of predictors with potentially nonlinear relationships. By applying machine learning to obesity, researchers can examine how risk factors across multiple settings (e.g., school and home) interact to best predict childhood obesity risk. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of studies that have applied machine learning to predict childhood obesity using a combination of sociodemographic and behavioral risk factors. The objective is to summarize the key determinants of obesity identified in existing machine learning studies and highlight opportunities for future machine learning applications in the field. Of 15 peer-reviewed studies, approximately half examined early childhood (0-24 months of age) determinants. These studies identified child's weight history (e.g., history of overweight/obesity or large increases in weight-related measures between birth and 24 months of age) and parental overweight/obesity (current or prior) as key risk factors, whereas the remaining studies indicated that social factors and physical inactivity were important in middle childhood and late childhood/adolescence. Across age groups, findings suggested that race/ethnic-specific models may be needed to accurately predict obesity from middle childhood onward. Future studies should consider using existing large data sets to take advantage of the benefits of machine learning and should collect a wider range of novel risk factors (e.g., psychosocial and sociocultural determinants of health) to better predict childhood obesity. Ultimately, such research can aid in the development of effective obesity prevention interventions, particularly ones that address the disproportionate burden of obesity experienced by racial/ethnic minorities.

Our method determines the usefulness of the state for the usual protocol for estimating the angle of rotation with Dicke states, which is based on the measurement of the second moment of a total spin component. It can also be used to detect entangled states that are useful for quantum metrology. We test our approach on recent experimental results.

description: IntroductionSpontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is one of leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Several predictive models have been developed for ICH; however, none of them have been consistently used in routine clinical practice or clinical research. In the study, we aimed to develop and validate a risk score for predicting 1-year functional outcome after ICH (ICH Functional Outcome Score, ICH-FOS). Furthermore, we compared discrimination of the ICH-FOS and 8 existing ICH scores with regard to 30-day, 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year functional outcome and mortality after ICH.MethodsThe ICH-FOS was developed based on the China National Stroke Registry, in which eligible patients were randomly divided into derivation (60%) and validation (40%) cohorts. Poor functional outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) ≥3 at 1year after ICH. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine independent predictors, and β-coefficients were used to generate scoring system of the ICH-FOS. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test were used to assess model discrimination and calibration.ResultsThe overall 1-year poor functional outcome (mRS ≥ 3) was 46.7% and 44.9% in the derivation (n = 1,953) and validation (n = 1,302) cohorts, respectively. A 16-point ICH-FOS was developed from the set of independent predictors of 1-year poor functional outcome after ICH including age (P < 0.001), admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (P < 0.001), Glasgow Coma Scale score (P < 0.001), blood glucose (P = 0.002), ICH location (P < 0.001), hematoma volume (P < 0.001), and intraventricular extension (P < 0.001). The ICH-FOS showed good discrimination (AUROC) in the derivation (0.836, 95% CI: 0.819-0.854) and validation (0.830, 95% CI: 0.808-0.852) cohorts. The ICH-FOS was well calibrated (Hosmer-Lemeshow test) in the derivation (P = 0.42) and validation (P = 0.39) cohort. When compared to 8 prior ICH scores, the ICH-FOS showed significantly better discrimination with regard to 1-year functional outcome and mortality after ICH (all P < 0.0001). Meanwhile, the ICH-FOS also demonstrated either comparable or significantly better discrimination for poor functional outcome and mortality at 30-day, 3-month, and 6-month after ICH.ConclusionThe ICH-FOS is a valid clinical grading scale for 1-year functional outcome after ICH. Further validation of the ICH-FOS in different populations is needed.

description: Understanding uncertainties and sensitivities of projected ecosystem dynamics under environmental change is of immense value for research and climate change policy. Here, we analyze sensitivities (change in model outputs per unit change in inputs) and uncertainties (changes in model outputs scaled to uncertainty in inputs) of vegetation dynamics under climate change, projected by a state-of-the-art dynamic vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS v4.0) across European forests (the species Picea abies, Fagus sylvatica and Pinus sylvestris), considering uncertainties of both model parameters and environmental drivers. We find that projected forest carbon fluxes are most sensitive to photosynthesis-, water-, and mortality-related parameters, while predictive uncertainties are dominantly induced by environmental drivers and parameters related to water and mortality. The importance of environmental drivers for predictive uncertainty increases with increasing temperature. Moreover, most of the interactions of model inputs (environmental drivers and parameters) are between environmental drivers themselves or between parameters and environmental drivers. In conclusion, our study highlights the importance of environmental drivers not only as contributors to predictive uncertainty in their own right but also as modifiers of sensitivities and thus uncertainties in other ecosystem processes. Reducing uncertainty in mortality-related processes and accounting for environmental influence on processes should therefore be a focus in further model development.

description: IntroductionThe prognostic impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) on long-term clinical outcomes remains controversial. We examined the five-year risk of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke after elective cardiac surgery complicated by AKI.MethodsWe conducted a cohort study among adult elective cardiac surgical patients without severe chronic kidney disease and/or previous heart or renal transplant surgery using data from population-based registries. AKI was defined by the Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria as a 50% increase in serum creatinine from baseline level, acute creatinine rise of ≥26.5μmol/L (0.3mg/dL) within 48 hours, and/or initiation of renal replacement therapy within five days after surgery. We followed patients from the fifth post-operative day until myocardial infarction, stroke or death within five years. Five-year risk was computed by the cumulative incidence method and compared with hazards ratios (HR) from a Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusting for propensity score.ResultsA total of 287 (27.9%) of 1,030 patients developed AKI. Five-year risk of death was 26.5% (95% CI: 21.2 to 32.0) among patients with AKI and 12.1% (95% CI: 10.0 to 14.7) among patients without AKI. The corresponding adjusted HR of death was 1.6 (95% CI: 1.1 to 2.2). Five-year risk of myocardial infarction was 5.0% (95% CI: 2.9 to 8.1) among patients with AKI and 3.3% (95% CI: 2.1 to 4.8) among patients without AKI. Five-year risk of stroke was 5.0% (95% CI: 2.8 to 7.9) among patients with AKI and 4.2% (95% CI: 2.9 to 5.8) among patients without AKI. Adjusted HRs were 1.5 (95% CI: 0.7 to 3.2) of myocardial infarction and 0.9 (95% CI: 0.5 to 1.8) of stroke.ConclusionsAKI, within five days after elective cardiac surgery, was associated with increased five-year mortality and a statistically insignificant increased risk of myocardial infarction. No association was seen with the risk of stroke.

description: Recurrent networks with transfer functions that fulfill the Lipschitz continuity with K=1 may be echo state networks if certain limitations on the recurrent connectivity are applied. It has been shown that it is sufficient if the largest singular value of the recurrent connectivity is smaller than 1. The main achievement of this paper is a proof under which conditions the network is an echo state network even if the largest singular value is one. It turns out that in this critical case the exact shape of the transfer function plays a decisive role in determining whether the network still fulfills the echo state condition. In addition, several examples with one neuron networks are outlined to illustrate effects of critical connectivity. Moreover, within the manuscript a mathematical definition for a critical echo state network is suggested.

description: As the future of energy looks increasingly electrified, the development of safe and sustainable battery technologies has never been more relevant. This is particularly critical for applications in stationary energy storage and transportation, where batteries must be produced and stored at large scale. Sustainability is necessary to meet the volume of demand at reasonable cost without straining resources. Safety is also paramount since fires can easily spread from one cell to the next and result in catastrophe when batteries are stored in proximity for large power banks or EVs. The focus of this thesis is thus to design and engineer materials for rechargeable batteries, which improve safety and sustainability while still enhancing the electrochemical performance. Towards this end, polymers play a central role throughout this thesis work due to their tunable chemical and physical properties.

description: Diapause is a physiological arrest of development ahead of adverse environmental conditions and is a critical phase of the life cycle of many insects. In bees, diapause has been reported in species from all seven taxonomic families. However, they exhibit a variety of diapause strategies. These different strategies are of particular interest since shifts in the phase of the insect life cycle in which diapause occurs have been hypothesized to promote the evolution of sociality. Here we provide a comprehensive evaluation of this hypothesis with phylogenetic analysis and ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) of the ecological and evolutionary factors associated with diapause phase. We find that social lifestyle, latitude and voltinism are significant predictors of the life stage in which diapause occurs. ASR revealed that the most recent common ancestor of all bees likely exhibited developmental diapause and shifts to adult, reproductive, or no diapause have occurred in the ancestors of lineages in which social behaviour has evolved. These results provide fresh insight regarding the role of diapause as a prerequisite for the evolution of sociality in bees.
Neutrino Masses and Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter from the PeV Scale

description: We show that active neutrino masses and a keV-GeV mass sterile neutrino dark matter candidate can result from a modified, low energy seesaw mechanism if right-handed neutrinos are charged under a new symmetry broken by a scalar field vacuum expectation value at the PeV scale. The dark matter relic abundance can be obtained through active-sterile oscillation, freeze-in through the decay of the heavy scalar, or freeze-in via non-renormalizable interactions at high temperatures. The low energy effective theory maps onto the widely studied nuMSM framework.

description: African American youth are less likely to use alcohol than their European American counterparts; however, the greater consequences of use for African American youth highlight the need for greater research attention to this group. Two social contexts which have been linked with adolescent alcohol use are parents and peers, yet these studies have rarely included African American youth or failed to examine potential racial differences. This study examined the main and interactive effects of parents and peers, as well as the moderating role of race, on alcohol use in African American and European American rural adolescents (n = 71) identified as at high-risk for alcohol use. Contrary to study hypotheses, however, parents were not a more robust moderator for African American than European American youth. Clinical implications for prevention and intervention programming for both African American and European American youth are discussed.

description: The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether risk perception and disaster awareness predict students’ disaster preparedness. Simple random sampling was used, which included 236 students. Through non-experimental quantitative descriptive-correlational research technique, validated questionnaire, Mean, Pearson-Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson-r) and Simple Linear Regression; results showed that risk perception and disaster awareness among students were high or oftentimes manifested while the level of disaster preparedness was very high or always manifested. The results also revealed that risk perception and disaster awareness were significantly correlated with disaster preparedness. Additionally, only disaster awareness predicts disaster preparedness, which emphasizes the importance of education and information dissemination in improving disaster preparedness. Therefore, the researchers concluded that efforts to increase disaster awareness through educational programs, public service announcements, or school drills could lead to better preparedness and potentially save lives and resources when disasters occur. It was recommended that future researchers may conduct studies to evaluate the effectiveness of existing disaster preparedness policies.
Race and gender matter: A multidimensional approach to conceptualizing and measuring stress in African American women.

description: Based on prior research and theory, the authors constructed a multidimensional model of stress in African American women comprised of race-related, gender-related, and generic stress. Exposure to and appraisal of these three types of stress were combined into a higher-order global stress factor. Using structural equation modeling, the fit of this stress factor and its ability to predict distress symptoms were examined in 189 socioeconomically diverse African American women aged 21 to 78. Results support the multidimensional conceptualization and operationalization of stress. Race-related, gender-related, and generic stress contributed equally to the global stress factor, and global stress predicted a significant amount of variance in distress symptoms and intensity. This model exhibited better fit than a model without a global stress factor, in which each stress component predicted distress directly. Furthermore, race-related, gender-related, and generic stress did not contribute to distress beyond their representation in the global stress factor. These findings illustrate that stress related to central elements of identity, namely race and gender, cohere with generic stress to define the stress experience of African American women.

description: We forecast the future constraints on scale-dependent parametrizations of galaxy bias and their impact on the estimate of cosmological parameters from the power spectrum of galaxies measured in a spectroscopic redshift survey. For the latter we assume a wide survey at relatively large redshifts, similar to the planned Euclid survey, as baseline for future experiments. To assess the impact of the bias we perform a Fisher matrix analysis and we adopt two different parametrizations of scale-dependent bias. The fiducial models for galaxy bias are calibrated using a mock catalogs of H$α$ emitting galaxies mimicking the expected properties of the objects that will be targeted by the Euclid survey. In our analysis we have obtained two main results. First of all, allowing for a scale-dependent bias does not significantly increase the errors on the other cosmological parameters apart from the rms amplitude of density fluctuations, $σ_{8}$, and the growth index $γ$, whose uncertainties increase by a factor up to two, depending on the bias model adopted. Second, we find that the accuracy in the linear bias parameter $b_{0}$ can be estimated to within 1-2\% at various redshifts regardless of the fiducial model. The non-linear bias parameters have significantly large errors that depend on the model adopted. Despite of this, in the more realistic scenarios departures from the simple linear bias prescription can be detected with a $\sim2\,σ$ significance at each redshift explored. Finally, we use the Fisher Matrix formalism to assess the impact of assuming an incorrect bias model and found that the systematic errors induced on the cosmological parameters are similar or even larger than the statistical ones.
