description: Let $F$ be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. Four methods for generating a simple undirected graph with (approximate) degree distribution $F$ are described and compared. Two methods are based on the so called configuration model with modifications ensuring a simple graph, one method is an extension of the classical Erdős-Rényi graph where the edge probabilities are random variables, and the last method starts with a directed random graph which is then modified to a simple undirected graph. All methods are shown to give the correct distribution in the limit of large graph size, but under different assumptions on the degree distribution $F$ and also using different order of operations.
Different Aspects of Educational Influence and Women's Agency in the Marriage Process in an Arranged Marriage Society
Creators: name: Shrestha, Shradha

Year: 2012

description: This paper examines different aspects of educational influence at the neighborhood, parental, and individual levels that play a part in influencing the level of involvement women have in when they marry and selecting a spouse in a predominantly arranged marriage setting. Specifically, I use theory about how availability and exposure to schools at a young age, independent from participation in them, shapes marriage behavior, theory about how education of fathers in the household influences their treatment of and behavior towards their children, and finally, I will draw on theories about how individuals' education levels affect their views on marriage and participation in choosing a spouse. The data come from the Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS) survey in Nepal. Results suggest some evidence for what is generally expected, that exposure to education in a variety of ways will delay marriage and increase women's say in who they marry. However, some results run counter to expectations and raise questions about the extent to which highly educated and wealthy families are invested in maintaining customs such as early and arranged marriages.

description: The leucine-rich repeat-containing family 8 member A (LRRC8A) is an essential subunit of the volume-regulated anion channel (VRAC). VRAC is indispensable for cell volume control, but its broader physiological functions remain under investigation. Recent findings indicate that Lrrc8a disruption in brain astrocytes reduces neuronal excitability, impairs synaptic plasticity and memory, and protects against cerebral ischemia. In the present work, we generated brain-wide LRRC8A knock-out mice to explore the significance of LRRC8A in neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendroglia, using NestinCre-targeted Lrrc8aflox/flox excision in neural cells. Mice devoid of brain LRRC8A were born close to the expected Mendelian ratio and developed without overt histological abnormalities. Surprisingly, all LRRC8A knockout animals died between 5 and 9 weeks of age. Many of the knockouts, but none of their littermates, displayed a seizure phenotype confirmed by video-EEG recordings. Using brain slice electrophysiology, we found disruptions in cell excitability and GABAergic signaling in the hippocampal CA1 region of LRRC8A knockout mice. LRRC8A-null brains demonstrated increased immunoreactivity of astrocytic GFAP in the hippocampus, decreased whole-brain protein levels of the glial glutamate transporter GLT-1, and a reduction in the tissue levels of the glutamate and GABA precursor glutamine, measured by HPLC. Together, these findings suggest that VRAC provides vital control of brain excitability in mouse adolescence. VRAC deletion leads to a lethal phenotype involving progressive astrogliosis and dysregulation of astrocytic uptake and supply of amino acid neurotransmitters and their precursors.

description: Plasmonic circuitry is considered as a promising solution-effective technology for miniaturizing and integrating the next generation of optical nano-devices. A key element is the shared metal network between electrical and optical information enabling an efficient hetero-integration of an electronic control layer and a plasmonic data link. Here, we investigate to what extend surface plasmons and current-carrying electrons interfere in such a shared circuitry. By synchronously recording surface plasmon propagation and electrical output characteristics of single chemically-synthesized silver nanowires we determine the limiting factors hindering the co-propagation of electrical current and surface plasmons in these nanoscale circuits.

description: We map the distribution of dust in M31 at 25pc resolution, using stellar photometry from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury. We develop a new mapping technique that models the NIR color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of red giant branch (RGB) stars. The model CMDs combine an unreddened foreground of RGB stars with a reddened background population viewed through a log-normal column density distribution of dust. Fits to the model constrain the median extinction, the width of the extinction distribution, and the fraction of reddened stars. The resulting extinction map has >4 times better resolution than maps of dust emission, while providing a more direct measurement of the dust column. There is superb morphological agreement between the new map and maps of the extinction inferred from dust emission by Draine et al. 2014. However, the widely-used Draine & Li (2007) dust models overpredict the observed extinction by a factor of ~2.5, suggesting that M31's true dust mass is lower and that dust grains are significantly more emissive than assumed in Draine et al. (2014). The discrepancy we identify is consistent with similar findings in the Milky Way by the Planck Collaboration (2015), but has a more complex dependence on parameters from the Draine & Li (2007) dust models. We also show that the discrepancy with the Draine et al. (2014) map is lowest where the interstellar radiation field has a harder spectrum than average. We discuss possible improvements to the CMD dust mapping technique, and explore further applications.

description: Dina Kelberman's ongoing tumblr blog I'm Google, begun in 2011, gathers found images and videos into a continuous grid, placing thematically disparate but visually similar moments together to create what the artist describes as a visual representation of a common phenomenon fundamental to the World Wide Web: searching for obscure information and encountering unexpected results. Kelberman discovers the materials included in I'm Google through keyword searches that translate her questions about things and processes in the physical world into digital images via Google's image search. This paper examines Kelberman's use of online search in I'm Google as both process and motif. I argue that Kelberman's exploration of conceptual and technological aspects of searching for information online creates an artwork in which the viewer acts as an ontological system, forming relationships between items and developing an ordered domain of visual knowledge from the immense chaos of the World Wide Web.

description: Expansion of shellfish aquaculture in the U.S. is currently being promoted for its demonstrated potential as an environmentally friendly and sustainable food production system. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), through its network of protected estuarine sites and research, education, and interpretation mandates, may provide an effective means for enhancing public awareness and management of shellfish aquaculture within the nation’s estuarine areas. However, the NERRS’s role regarding the presence of aquaculture within Reserve boundaries, for research or non-research purposes, is not broadly understood by NERRS stakeholders. The goals of this study were to broadly review and highlight the current activities, regulatory framework, and engagement approaches to aquaculture within the NERRS, and more specifically, to focus on the suitability and role(s) the NERRS may choose to seek or strengthen with respect to shellfish aquaculture. To accomplish this, a survey questionnaire was disseminated within the NERRS community. Twelve of the 29 Reserves within the NERRS held some type of aquaculture activity, while 17 Reserves believed their Reserve was suitable or potentially suitable for shellfish aquaculture. Reserve suitability was driven by a range of factors, including: water quality, NERRS regulations, character of Reserve land-managing entities, scope of protected areas, and preexisting or historical shellfish aquaculture and/or wild harvest activities. Overall, the Reserves’ approach to shellfish aquaculture was locally focused, but with patterns that reflected a regional influence. Additionally, Reserves displayed key roles as coordinating entities and a trusted source of science. Particularly with establishing commercial aquaculture, it is critical to couple the goals of an aquaculture activity with the net positive and negative impacts to a specific geographic area. We recommend that the NERRS would benefit from developing best management practices for approaching shellfish aquaculture within Reserve boundaries, and educating and engaging with shellfish aquaculture stakeholders. One approach might be to develop a decision-support model for approaching and allowing each use of aquaculture (research, restoration, conservation, recreation, and commercial), in collaboration with regulatory agencies and other stakeholders.

Generating stationary random graphs on $\mathbb{Z}$ with prescribed i.i.d.\ degrees

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: Let $F$ be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. Two algorithms are described for generating a stationary random graph, with vertex set $\mathbb{Z}$, so that the degrees of the vertices are i.i.d.\ random variables with distribution $F$. Focus is on an algorithm where, initially, a random number of "stubs" with distribution $F$ is attached to each vertex. Each stub is then randomly assigned a direction, left or right, and the edge configuration is obtained by pairing stubs pointing to each other, first exhausting all possible connections between nearest neighbors, then linking second nearest neighbors, and so on. Under the assumption that $F$ has finite mean, it is shown that this algorithm leads to a well-defined configuration, but that the expected length of the shortest edge of a vertex is infinite. It is also shown that any stationary algorithm for pairing stubs with random, independent directions gives infinite mean for the total length of the edges of a given vertex. Connections to the problem of constructing finitary isomorphisms between Bernoulli shifts are discussed.

description: Worldwide, mental illness has been reported as a burden on healthcare systems, and those suffering have experienced poor treatment and access to care. Signs of mental illness have been commonly reported to start during childhood years and if left undetected or untreated can have detrimental effects on the quality of life through to adulthood. The need for global change is one of both ethical and moral importance, and as a result the World Health Organisation (WHO) has implemented a comprehensive action plan aiming to tackle the multifaceted problems associated with mental illness recognition and management in health settings. In the emergency care setting, a range of registered healthcare professionals including paramedics, doctors, nurses and mental health professionals are often the first point of contact for people presenting with signs and symptoms of mental health problems and suicidality; yet all have varying scopes of practice and guidelines. The aim of the scoping review is to systematically map published to identify existing paediatric mental health screening and assessment tools utilised in the emergency care setting. The findings of the review will help inform whether Paediatric mental health screening and assessment tools can be recommended to Australian Paramedic Practice.
A Community of Practice Focused on Resiliency in Graduate Nursing Students
Creators: name: Wildes, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this project was to create a Community of Practice (CoP) focused on resiliency in graduate nursing students. CoPs are networks of people who collectively learn and share in learning as a social experience. By engaging a CoP that focused on resiliency in graduate nursing students, the aim was to positively support students’ sense of community and ability to care for themselves as well as others despite exposure to stressors. Stress, a normal physiological response, becomes a problem when coping behaviors result in poor mental and physical health. Stress is widely reported in healthcare students, and students exposed to many academic and professional stressors may increase their risk for mental and physical exhaustion and poor patient care. A potential solution is to focus on student resiliency, the ability to adapt in healthy manners to a variety of stressors. Resiliency may be developed and practiced with healthy stress reduction techniques such as sleep, a healthy diet, exercise, social support, relaxation, and meditation/mindfulness. Participants were graduate nursing students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Nursing, who were recruited through promotional flyers, email, and word-of-mouth. The project included a one-hour face-to-face workshop, seven emailed bulletins focused on a specific resiliency theme, weekly texts, and lastly, a CoP Facebook site. The entire project occurred over 8 weeks. Pre-and post- surveys assessed the effectiveness of coping skills. These pre- and post- surveys used validated questionnaires to measure stress (DASS-21) and coping (Brief COPE) and incorporated additional questions based on project content. Demographic information was also collected. As a follow-up on the applicability of the weekly information, participants received an optional, short survey specific to the week’s topic. Quantitative and qualitative data were compared and thematically summarized. The program was found to be helpful by most participants and resulted in useful feedback on project content and design. However, generalizability to the target population was limited by the small sample size.

French Army Strategy and Strategic Culture during the Algerian War, 1954-1958
Creators: name: Beers, Wynne
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: This thesis examines the various means by which strategy was communicated to field commanders during the first half of the French war in Algeria, from 1954 to 1958, and then explores how the actions of a particular regimental commander and his subordinates provides testimony of how they synthesized the concept of strategy for them. Studying wartime strategy solely from the perspective of military and civilian high command leadership is insufficient because it only addresses one of several influences (schools, doctrine, past and current warfighting experiences, and logistical structure, to name a few) that interact together to modify how field commanders actually think about and conduct war. This thesis proposes that studying an army's strategic culture, understood as the expression of a way of war, rather than simply an army's strategy, provides a suitable synthetic approach by which historians and strategists can answer useful and specific questions concerning how and why commanders i

Standardizing Nurse-to-Nurse Patient Handoffs in a Correctional Healthcare setting: a Quality Improvement Project to improve end-of-shift Nurse-to-Nurse Communication using the SBAR I-5 Handoff Bundle
Creators: name: Superville, Jemma
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background. Ineffective nurse-to-nurse communication at handoffs can result in patient harm, including death. Effective communication addresses key technical and non-technical components including: the comprehensiveness and veracity of information exchanged, as well as the mutual understanding of the information shared. When either of these features is missing, ineffective communication results. In the jail setting communication is often based on patient information that is fractured, poorly accessible, and non-verifiable. Of the jail nurses in the study setting, 57% are foreign born; 55% speak a non-English native language, and 35% trained and practiced in foreign countries. This “internationalization” of nursing with the potential for variations in how nurses interpret and act on information exchanged can severely undermine patient safety.
      Purpose. The purpose of this DNP project was to utilize evidence-based practice processes to standardize the content and format of the nurse-to-nurse handoff communication at the jail, and to explore whether these structural and process changes would improve the quality of the handoff communication.
      Design.  This project explored the impact of an evidence-based communication protocol, the SBAR I-5 Handoff Bundle, on the quality of the nurse-to-nurse handoff communication using a convenience sample of nurses at a 22-bed acute medical services unit of a jail.  The study employed a mixed methods approach utilizing questionnaires, observations, interviews, and retrospective chart reviews to collect and compare pre/post-test data.
      Methods. The primary investigator observed morning and evening end-of-shift handoffs. Problems identified were: inconsistent handoff start and ending times; wide variability in report content, format and style; the absence of information verification; and failure to validate the mutual understanding of information shared. Differences in nurses’ pre/post-test survey responses, interviews, and handoff observations were analyzed.  Nurses’ interview responses were examined for salient themes.
      Results. Post-intervention, jail nurses reported improved handoff quality. Although a marginal increase in the patient care error rate occurred, a 10-fold increase in the handoff error capture rate improved patient safety overall. Thematic analysis yielded two themes: Improved communication and improved team dynamics.
      Discussion/Conclusion. This study identifies deficiencies in the jail nurse handoff structure and process that were addressed by the study intervention. The study results indicate that standardization of jail handoff communication combined with information verification and validation features can improve the quality of jail nurses’ handoffs.

description: We study the existence of asymptotically stable periodic trajectories induced by reset feedback. The analysis is developed for a planar system. Casting the problem into the hybrid setting, we show that a periodic orbit arises from the balance between the energy dissipated during flows and the energy restored by resets, at jumps. The stability of the periodic orbit is studied with hybrid Lyapunov tools. The satisfaction of the so-called hybrid basic conditions ensures the robustness of the asymptotic stability. Extensions of the approach to more general mechanical systems are discussed.

From historical site to art museum: Xu Bing's Tobacco Projects Durham and Virginia
Creators: name: Essif, Davenne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Examining the development of Xu Bing's Tobacco Project from its first to its third iteration, I argue that in addition to changes in the work itself, the installation's changing display spaces have influenced scholarly and critical interpretation of its core message. In published responses to this project, scholars have extracted a variety of meanings from the displays. They have moved from interpreting Xu's work as a passionate stand against the tobacco industry, framed by his father's untimely death from lung cancer, to an ambiguous installation that explores both positive economic benefits and negative health effects of tobacco. I argue that changes to this discourse were heightened as critics and scholars responded to Tobacco Project's interaction with the established narratives of the spaces in which the project was displayed. To focus my study, I concentrate on the differences between the Tobacco Museum and Duke Homestead in Durham, North Carolina, where Xu first installed a portion of his work, and the Virginia Museum of fine arts in Richmond, where Xu displayed his third project. Using the field of critical museum studies as a guide, I explore the differences between a museum dedicated to a positive tobacco history and a public fine arts museum that may have affected Tobacco Project's own narratives. I conclude that space has played an inextricable role in the presentation and reception of Xu Bing's Tobacco Project.
Stationary random graphs on $\mathbb{Z}$ with prescribed iid degrees and finite mean connections

description: Let $F$ be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. A model is proposed for generating stationary simple graphs on $\mathbb{Z}$ with degree distribution $F$ and it is shown for this model that the expected total length of all edges at a given vertex is finite if $F$ has finite second moment. It is not hard to see that any stationary model for generating simple graphs on $\mathbb{Z}$ will give infinite mean for the total edge length per vertex if $F$ does not have finite second moment. Hence, finite second moment of $F$ is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a model with finite mean total edge length.

description: In this paper, we investigate the modified Geodesic Deviation Equation (GDE) in the framework of $f(R,T)$ theory of gravity where $R$ and $T$ are the curvature scalar and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, respectively, using the FLRW background. In this way, we obtain the GR equivalent (GDE) in $f(R,T)$ metric formalism. We also extend our work to the generalization of the Matting relation and perform the numerical analysis with GDE for null vector.

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: The overall purpose of this research is to investigate the role of self-concept clarity in guiding romantic attraction and dating partner evaluations during the initial stages of relationship formation. This is a pre-registeration for an online experimental study we conducted recently (July, 2020) but that we have not yet analyzed. We chiefly sought to replicate the main pattern of results that emerged across 2 previous studies we conducted which tested the influence of self-concept clarity on attraction and match judgements.
POVMs and the Two Theorems of Naimark and Sz.-Nagy
Creators: name: Malley, James D.

description: In 1940 Naimark showed that if a set of quantum observables are positive semi-definite and sum to the identity then, on a larger space, they have a joint resolution as commuting projectors. In 1955 Sz.-Nagy showed that any set of observables could be so resolved, with the resolution respecting all linear sums. Crucially, both resolutions return the correct Born probabilities for the original observables. Here, an alternative proof of the Sz.-Nagy result is given using elementary inner product spaces. A version of the resolution is then shown to respect all products of observables on the base space. Practical and theoretical consequences are indicated. For example, quantum statistical inference problems that involve any algebraic functionals can now be studied using classical statistical methods over commuting observables. The estimation of quantum states is a problem of this type. Further, as theoretical objects, classical and quantum systems are now distinguished by only more or less degrees of freedom.

Process stabilization by peak current regulation in reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering of hafnium nitride

description: A simple and cost effective approach to stabilize the sputtering process in the transition zone during reactive high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) is proposed. The method is based on real-time monitoring and control of the discharge current waveforms. To stabilize the process conditions at a given set point, a feedback control system was implemented that automatically regulates the pulse frequency, and thereby the average sputtering power, to maintain a constant maximum discharge current. In the present study, the variation of the pulse current waveforms over a wide range of reactive gas flows and pulse frequencies during a reactive HiPIMS process of Hf-N in an Ar-N2 atmosphere illustrates that the discharge current waveform is a an excellent indicator of the process conditions. Activating the reactive HiPIMS peak current regulation, stable process conditions were maintained when varying the N2 flow from 2.1 to 3.5 sccm by an automatic adjustment of the pulse frequency from 600 Hz to 1150 Hz and consequently an increase of the average power from 110 to 270 W. Hf-N films deposited using peak current regulation exhibited a stable stoichiometry, a nearly constant power-normalized deposition rate, and a polycrystalline cubic phase Hf-N with (111)- preferred orientation over the entire reactive gas flow range investigated. The physical reasons for the change in the current pulse waveform for different process conditions are discussed in some detail.
"Don’t Gossip!": Exploring the Intersection of Past and Present in Post-Soviet, Diasporic Identities
Creators: name: Bidgood, Sarah Webster
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: In this master's thesis, I examine the identity of two Russian-speaking, diasporic groups: the first, an elderly community of Soviet immigrants living in Brooklyn; the second, an online community of Russian-speakers from all over the world. I investigate these groups' post-Soviet identities through the lens of a Medicare scam involving the first population, in which Nina Vatolina's (1915-2002) 1941 Don't Gossip! propaganda poster was displayed to encourage complicity. I parse what the poster's role in the scam indicates about the identity of its elderly, Brooklinite viewers, and analyze online, Russian-language reactions to the illegal application of Vatolina's poster for clues into the identity of this virtual diasporic group. I conclude that the former group is limited by its nostalgic relationship with its Soviet past, but that the latter group can comfortably vascilate between its Soviet and immigrant identities.

Self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations of fundamental and harmonic plasma radio emission mechanisms

description: Aims. The simulation of three-wave interaction based plasma emission, thought to be the underlying mechanism for Type III solar radio bursts, is a challenging task requiring fully-kinetic, multi-dimensional models. This paper aims to resolve a contradiction in past attempts, whereby some studies indicate that no such processes occur. Methods. We self-consistently simulate three-waved based plasma emission through all stages by using 2D, fully kinetic, electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations of relaxing electron beams using the EPOCH2D code. Results. Here we present the results of two simulations; Run 1 (nb/n0 = 0.0057, vb/Δvb = vb/Ve = 16) and Run 2 (nb/n0 = 0.05, vb/Δvb = vb/Ve = 8), which we find to permit and prohibit plasma emission respectively. We show that the possibility of plasma emission is contingent upon the frequency of the initial electrostatic waves generated by the bump-in-tail instability, and that these waves may be prohibited from participating in the necessary three-wave interactions due to frequency conservation requirements. In resolving this apparent contradiction through a comprehensive analysis, in this paper we present the first self-consistent demonstration of fundamental and harmonic plasma emission from a single-beam system via fully kinetic numerical simulation. We caution against simulating astrophysical radio bursts using unrealistically dense beams (a common approach which reduces run time), as the resulting non-Langmiur characteristics of the initial wave modes significantly suppresses emission. Comparison of our results also indicates that, contrary to the suggestions of previous authors, an alternative plasma emission mechanism based on two counter-propagating beams is unnecessary in an astrophysical context.
