description: We study the assimilation behavior of a group of migrants who live in a city populated by native inhabitants. We conceptualize the group as a community, and the city as a social space. Assimilation increases the productivity of migrants and, consequently, their earnings. However, assimilation also brings the migrants closer in social space to the richer native inhabitants. This proximity subjects the migrants to relative deprivation. We consider a community of migrants whose members are at an equilibrium level of assimilation that was chosen as a result of the maximization of a utility function that has as its arguments income, the cost of assimilation effort, and a measure of relative deprivation. We ask how vulnerable this assimilation equilibrium is to the appearance of a “mutant” - a member of the community who is exogenously endowed with a superior capacity to assimilate. If the mutant were to act on his enhanced ability, his earnings would be higher than those of his fellow migrants, which will expose them to greater relative deprivation. We find that the stability of the pre-mutation assimilation equilibrium depends on the cohesion of the migrants’ community, expressed as an ability to effectively sanction and discourage the mutant from deviating. The equilibrium level of assimilation of a tightly knit community is stable in the sense of not being vulnerable to the appearance of a member becoming better able to assimilate. However, if the community is loose-knit, the appearance of a mutant will destabilize the pre-mutation assimilation equilibrium, and will result in a higher equilibrium level of assimilation.

Development & Content Validation of an Organizational Capacity Tool for Comprehensive Medication Management in Primary Care
Creators: name: Wines, Kristen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Introduction: The practice of Comprehensive Medication Management (CMM) is a poorly characterized intervention across the practice of pharmacy limiting its measurable impact on patient care. To address the inconsistent application of CMM in the primary care setting, our project set out to design and validate a CMM specific organizational capacity tool to assist clinicians working in primary care settings to better understand the structure and function supports needed to implement a new intervention in their setting.Methods: Organizational capacity concepts were identified through an informal literature review. Experts reviewed the concepts, sorted them into domains and designed questions from the identified domains. Seven reviewers were asked to score each concept on a scale from 1-4 based on three criteria: relevance, clarity and alignment. Scores provided from internal reviewers were evaluated using an adapted content validity process described by Rubio et al (2012). A panel of Key Opinion Leaders also reviewed the assessment to assist in contextualizing its use in practice.Results: The literature review produced 31 related articles and 235 concepts. From these concepts, organizational capacity experts identified 9 unique domains. Ultimately, a 20-item tool with 1-4 concepts assessing each domain was created. The internal vetting feedback demonstrated strong interrater agreement (IRA) across all 9 domains (96%) and strong support of concept relevance, clarity and alignment (content validity index (CVI) means of M = 3.71, 3.38 and 3.71 respectively). Two concepts required further revision based on IRA scores (“Financial Resources” and “Staff Implementation Supports”). Further, CVI calculations indicated that several concepts required minor revisions. No concepts were determined to require major revisions. Key Opinion Leaders recommended this assessment be incorporated into an adapted readiness evaluation.Conclusions: The content validity analysis revealed that there was a high level of agreement among raters across all content domains, and that the relevance, clarity, alignment and necessity of the concepts in each domain were largely validated. Overall, this process affirms that the preliminary self-assessment, rooted in organizational capacity and pharmacy practice, has content validity and should be incorporated into an adapted readiness assessment prior to undergoing Construct Validation.
Edge Artificial Intelligence for Real-Time Target Monitoring

description: The key enabling technology for the exponentially growing cellular communications sector is location-based services. The need for location-aware services has increased along with the number of wireless and mobile devices. Estimation problems, and particularly parameter estimation, have drawn a lot of interest because of its relevance and engineers' ongoing need for higher performance. As applications expanded, a lot of interest was generated in the accurate assessment of temporal and spatial properties. In the thesis, two different approaches to subject monitoring are thoroughly addressed. For military applications, medical tracking, industrial workers, and providing location-based services to the mobile user community, which is always growing, this kind of activity is crucial. In-depth consideration is given to the viability of applying the Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Receiver Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) localization algorithms in real-world situations. We presented two prospective systems, discussed them, and presented specific assessments and tests. These systems were put to the test in diverse contexts (e.g., indoor, outdoor, in water...). The findings showed the localization capability, but because of the low-cost antenna we employed, this method is only practical up to a distance of roughly 150 meters. Consequently, depending on the use-case, this method may or may not be advantageous. An estimation algorithm that enhances the performance of the AoA technique was implemented on an edge device. Another approach was also considered. Radar sensors have shown to be durable in inclement weather and bad lighting conditions. Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars are the most frequently employed among the several sorts of radar technologies for these kinds of applications. Actually, this is because they are low-cost and can simultaneously provide range and Doppler data. In comparison to pulse and Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radar sensors, they also need a lower sample rate and a lower peak to average ratio. The system employs a cutting-edge surveillance method based on widely available FMCW radar technology. The data processing approach is built on an ad hoc-chain of different blocks that transforms data, extract features, and make a classification decision before cancelling clutters and leakage using a frame subtraction technique, applying DL algorithms to Range-Doppler (RD) maps, and adding a peak to cluster assignment step before tracking targets. In conclusion, the FMCW radar and DL technique for the RD maps performed well together for indoor use-cases. The aforementioned tests used an edge device and Infineon Technologies' Position2Go FMCW radar tool-set.
Simulations of Solar Jets Confined by Coronal Loops

description: Coronal jets are collimated, dynamic events that occur over a broad range of spatial scales in the solar corona. In the open magnetic field of coronal holes, jets form quasi-radial spires that can extend far out into the heliosphere, while in closed-field regions the jet outflows are confined to the corona. We explore the application of the embedded-bipole model to jets occurring in closed coronal loops. In this model, magnetic free energy is injected slowly by footpoint motions that introduce twist within the closed dome of the jet source region, and is released rapidly by the onset of an ideal kink-like instability. Two length scales characterize the system: the width (N) of the jet source region and the footpoint separation (L) of the coronal loop that envelops the jet source. We find that the jet characteristics are highly sensitive to the ratio L/N, in both the conditions for initiation and the subsequent dynamics. The longest-lasting and most energetic jets occur along long coronal loops with large L/N ratios, and share many features of open-field jets, while smaller L/N ratios produce shorter-duration, less energetic jets that are affected by reflections from the far-loop footpoint. We quantify the transition between these behaviours and show that our model replicates key qualitative and quantitative aspects of both quiet-Sun and active-region loop jets. We also find that the reconnection between the closed dome and surrounding coronal loop is very extensive: the cumulative reconnected flux at least matches the total flux beneath the dome for small L/N, and is more than double that value for large L/N.

description: Production of hydrogen from light-driven water splitting, photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution for example, is an attractive method to store solar energy. Typically, photoelectrocatalytic systems require an expensive high purity semiconductor light absorber (e.g. silicon) and a precious metal heterogeneous catalyst (e.g. platinum). The Miller group recently reported a semiconductor-free approach to photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution with a single homogeneous photoelectrocatalyst, [Cp*Ir(2,2’-bipyridine)(H)]+ (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopendienyl). To better understand this approach to hydrogen production, a series of structural analogues have been prepared and analyzed. Ligand alteration changes the characteristics of the catalyst and understanding the influence of different ligands will guide future catalyst design. Complexes containing pyridine, di(2-pyridyl)ketone, and various alpha-diimine ligands have been synthesized and studied using electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry under irradiation. A new catalyst, [Cp*Ir(pyridine)2(Cl)][OTf], has been discovered for molecular photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution.

description: Obesity is associated with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and unrefreshing sleep. Residual daytime sleepiness and sleep impairments often persist after SDB treatment in patients with obesity, which suggests an independent effect of obesity on breathing and sleep. However, examining the relationship between sleep architecture and SDB in patients with obesity is complex and can be confounded by multiple factors. The main goal of this study was to examine the relationship between obesityrelated changes in sleep architecture and SDB. Sleep recordings were performed in 15 lean C57BL/6J and 17 diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice of the same genetic background. Arousals from sleep and apneas were manually scored. Respiratory arousals were classified as events associated with >30% drops in minute ventilation (VE) from baseline. We applied Poincaré analysis of VE during sleep to estimate breathing variability. Obesity augmented the frequency of arousals by 45% and this increase was independent of apneas. Respiratory arousals comprised only 15% of the arousals in both groups of mice. Breathing variability during non-rapid-eye-movment (NREM) sleep was significantly higher in DIO mice, but it was not associated with arousal frequency. Our results suggest that obesity induces sleep fragmentation independently of SDB severity.

Year: 2018

description: The role families play in medical settings is critical across all environments and circumstances, especially in pediatric settings. Research suggests that the functioning of a family and support they receive through the duration of a child’s illness or hospitalization can have an impact on the child’s physical health. As families are the legal decision makers for pediatric patients and hold the power in determining a child’s treatment plan, it is imperative that they are well supported and able to make clear and well-informed decisions. This research sought to explore from the perspective of Certified Child Life Specialists how well pillars of pediatric palliative care and family-centered care were being implemented in the hospitals in which they worked as well as the perceived effectiveness of various family resources in supporting the needs of the families of pediatric patients. One hundred seven Certified Child Life Specialists from across the country participated in an on-line survey. Additionally, respondents provided suggestions regarding how they believe the quality and accessibility of family support resources could be improved. Results showed that Certified Child Life Specialists perceived that pediatric palliative care and family-centered care pillars were moderately to very effective in their implementation. Additionally, participants indicated that family support resources that provided families with assistance in coping best supported families, followed by resources that provided information and those helping with everyday tasks. Respondents indicated the need for improvement in a variety of resources that included money, staffing and education that would improve the quality and accessibility of family support resources. Implications of the study included helping improve how medical personnel are trained and educated, in addition to informing hospital administrators on budgetary needs of family support resources.

description: We describe a microfluidic platform that can be used to study the hydroponic growth of Arabidopsis plants with high-resolution visualization of root development and root-pathogen interactions. The platform comprises a set of parallel microchannels with individual input/output ports, where 1-day old germinated seedlings are initially placed. Under optimal conditions, a root system grows in each microchannel and its images are recorded over a 198-h period. Different concentrations of plant growth media show different root growth characteristics. Later, the developed roots are inoculated with two plant pathogens (nematodes and zoospores) and their effect on the live root systems is observed.

description: Compact Symmetric Objects (CSO) are considered to be the young version of Fanaroff-Riley type I and type II radio galaxies, with typical sizes smaller than 1 kpc and ages of the order of a few thousand years. Before the launch of the Fermi satellite, young radio sources were predicted to emerge as a possible new gamma-ray emitting population detectable by the Large Area Telescope (LAT). After more than 6 years of Fermi operation the question of young radio sources as gamma-ray emitting objects still remains open. In this contribution we discuss candidate gamma-ray emitting CSO and future perspective for detecting young radio sources with Fermi-LAT.

description: At a time when government support for international humanitarian aid is decreasing, organizations devoted to helping in times of disaster are looking ever more to the individual donor for financial contributions. In this paper, we explore the relationship between the donor and the distant other by introducing the concepts of psychic distance and psychic distance stimuli to the macromarketing literature and exploring the role of psychic distance in fundraising for international humanitarian aid. It is our contention that by better understanding the biases that psychic distance introduce into the system, an improved flow of donations for the betterment of the distant needy and a more effective marketing system can be achieved. We offer four propositions for future testing and exploration.

description: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) affects over 50% of obese individuals. Exaggerated hypoxic chemoreflex is a cardinal trait of SDB in obesity. We have shown that leptin acts in the carotid bodies (CB) to augment chemoreflex and that leptin activates the transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) channel. However, the effect of leptin-TRPM7 signalling in CB on breathing and SDB has not been characterized in diet-induced obesity (DIO). We hypothesized that leptin acts via TRPM7 in the CB to increase chemoreflex leading to SDB in obesity. DIO mice were implanted with EEG/EMG electrodes and transfected with Leprb short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or Trpm7 shRNA vs. control shRNAin the CB area bilaterally. Mice underwent a full-polysomnography and metabolic studies at baseline and after transfection. Ventilatory responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia were assessed during wakefulness. Leprb and Trpm7 were upregulated and their promoters were demethylated in the CB of DIO mice. Leprb knockdown in the CB did not significantly affect ventilation. Trpm7 knockdown in the CB stimulated breathing during sleep in normoxia. These effects were not driven by changes in CB chemosensitivity or metabolism. Under sustained hypoxia, Trpm7 shRNA in the CB augmented ventilation during sleep, but decreased oxyhaemoglobin saturation. We conclude that the suppression of TRPM7 in the CB improved sleep-related hypoventilation and that the respiratory effects of CB TRPM7 channels in obesity are independent of leptin. TRPM7 signalling in the CB could be a therapeutic target for the treatment of obesity-related SDB.
The Role of Corticotropin-Releasing Factor (CRF) Signaling in the Ventral Tegmental Area in the Regulation of Binge-Like Alcohol Consumption
Creators: name: Gulati, Varun
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Binge drinking is a pattern of excessive alcohol consumption related to numerous health
problems, notably alcohol dependence. Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling within the
ventral tegmental area (VTA) is known to regulate dependence-induced alcohol consumption. It
remains unclear which receptors regulate binge-like consumption. This study utilized the
drinking-in-the-dark design to examine how intra-VTA CRF-1 receptor (CRF-1R) antagonism
and CRF-2R agonism influenced binge-like alcohol drinking. Blockade of CRF signaling, by
CRF-1R antagonism or CRF-2R autoreceptor activation, reduced binge-alcohol consumption. It
was also unknown whether CRF-mediated effects were the result of local VTA interneurons or
projection neurons from other brain regions. Transgene expression of eGFP in the VTA of CRFCre
mice confirmed the presence of local CRF interneurons. By confirming the role of CRF
receptors within the VTA in binge-alcohol consumption and establishing the presence of local
CRF neurons in the VTA, this study clarifies the CRF-mediated effects on binge-like alcohol
consumption and identifies a potential new mechanism mediating alcohol consumption.

description: We analyze the effect of spin degree of freedom on fidelity decay and entropy production of a many-particle fermionic(bosonic) system in a mean-field, quenched by a random two-body interaction preserving many-particle spin $S$. The system Hamiltonian is represented by embedded Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (EGOE) of random matrices (for time-reversal and rotationally invariant systems) with one plus two-body interactions preserving $S$ for fermions/bosons. EGOE are paradigmatic models to study the dynamical transition from integrability to chaos in interacting many-body quantum systems. A simple general picture, in which the variances of the eigenvalue density play a central role, is obtained for describing the short-time dynamics of fidelity decay and entropy production. Using some approximations, an EGOE formula for the time ($t_{sat}$) for the onset of saturation of entropy, is also derived. These analytical EGOE results are in good agreement with numerical calculations. Moreover, both fermion and boson systems show significant spin dependence on the relaxation dynamics of the fidelity and entropy.

Habit Formation and Random Seating Assignment in Japanese Live-Concert Market
Creators: name: Zuo, Rui
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The Japanese concert market is distinct from live-concert markets in other countries because of its reliance on cheap tickets sold through the fan clubs and concert ticket lotteries. Most of the tickets of famous artists are sold through their fan clubs' pre-order lottery system at uniform prices instead of through third-party platforms at different prices. Such a strategy seems counterintuitive, as entertainment firms may explore additional profitability by making seats publicly available and varying ticket price with seat quality. By forming two theoretical models, we explore the pricing strategy of Japanese firms from two aspects: habit formation process and random seating assignment. From the first model, we conclude that, with habit formation, firms' overall optimal prices are lower than the first period optimal prices. From the second model, we find that random seating assignment with uniform price always yields less revenue than price differentiation. This result suggests that Japanese firms might use lotteries due to reasons other than profit maximization in the primary market.

description: The multiple star system of delta Orionis is one of the closest examples of a system containing a luminous O-type, bright giant star (component Aa1). It is often used as a spectral-type standard and has the highest observed X-ray flux of any hot-star binary. The main component Aa1 is orbited by two lower mass stars, faint Aa2 in a 5.7 day eclipsing binary, and Ab, an astrometric companion with an estimated period of 346 years. Generally the flux from all three stars is recorded in ground-based spectroscopy, and the spectral decomposition of the components has proved difficult. Here we present HST/STIS ultraviolet spectroscopy of delta Ori A that provides us with spatially separated spectra of Aa and Ab for the first time. We measured radial velocities for Aa1 and Ab in two observations made near the velocity extrema of Aa1. We show tentative evidence for the detection of the Aa2 component in cross-correlation functions of the observed and model spectra. We discuss the appearance of the UV spectra of Aa1 and Ab with reference to model spectra. Both stars have similar effective temperatures, but Ab is fainter and is a rapid rotator. The results will help in the interpretation of ground-based spectroscopy and in understanding the physical and evolutionary parameters of these massive stars.

description: The understanding of orbital hybridization and spin-polarization at the organic-ferromagnetic interface is essential in the search for efficient hybrid spintronic devices. Here, using first-principles calculations, we report a systematic study of spin-split hybrid states of C$_{60}$ deposited on various ferromagnetic surfaces: bcc-Cr(001), bcc-Fe(001), bcc-Co(001), fcc-Co(001) and hcp-Co(0001). We show that the adsorption geometry of the molecule with respect to the surface crystallographic orientation of the magnetic substrate as well as the strength of the interaction play an intricate role in the spin-polarization of the hybrid orbitals. We find that a large spin-polarization in vacuum above the buckyball can only be achieved if the molecule is adsorbed upon a bcc-(001) surface by its pentagonal ring. Therefore bcc-Cr(001), bcc-Fe(001) and bcc-Co(001) are the optimal candidates. Spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on single C$_{60}$ adsorbed on Cr(001) and Co/Pt(111) also confirm that both the symmetry of the substrate and of the molecular conformation have a strong influence on the induced spin polarization. Our finding may give valuable insights for further engineering of spin filtering devices through single molecular orbitals.

The Russian Bookmen: A Story of Survival and Revival during the Mongol Occupation, 1237-1480.
Creators: name: Kessel, Luke
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This thesis argues that in the chronicles, bookmen propagated attitudes toward and about the Mongols that evolved over time due to the interconnected nature of political developments and the privileged status of the Church. Chapter one argues that bookmen explain the invasion as a result of Russian sins and use themes of suffering and martyrdom  to explain the invasion. In doing so, the bookmen were providing a stricken population with spiritual consolation. Chapter two argues that these sentiments evolved to notions of defense and resistance in order to inspire the preservation of Orthodoxy, Kievan traditions such as the rota system, and Rus’ control of the land. Finally, chapter three articulates the bookmen’s theme of outright anti-Mongol ideology used to prop up the legitimacy and political authority of Moscow. Because religion and politics were intertwined throughout Medieval Europe, the attitudes toward the Mongols evolved reciprocally as the political climate changed, in tandem with one another.

description: Candida species are part of the normal flora of humans. A number of variables areknown to promote both superficial and deep-seated candidiasis, and they work eitherby disrupting the balance of the body's normal microbial flora or by reducing hostresistance. Candida's pathogenicity is attributed to its virulence factors, one of which isbiofilm development. The ability to produce biofilms is linked to pathogenecity andshould be regarded a key virulence characteristic during candidiasis. Aim: To detectbiofilm formation among the clinical isolates of Candida species using modified TissueCulture Plate Method and antifungal susceptibility pattern in Candida specieswithbiofilm production. This study was a prospective study conducted during a periodof 1year on the samples received in microbiology lab,Dr. S.N. Medical College,Jodhpur for culture sensitivity test.In this study,155(05.17%) Candida species strainswere isolated,out of 2995 various clinical specimens.There is an increase prevalence ofnon Candidaalbicans 101(65.16%) species [C. tropicalis55 (35.48%), C. parapsilosis19(12.26%), C. krusei14 (09.03%), C. and C.kefyr 04 (02.58%)] isolated from variousclinical samples and showed strong biofilm producers compared to C.albicans54(34.84%) species. Out of 155 Candida strains tested 118 (76.13%) werefound to be biofilm producers. The positivity was more with urine samples 77 (82.8%)followed by sputum samples 16 (72.72%) andblood 13 (50%) isolates. TCP (Tissueculture plate) method detects 40% as Strong biofilm producers (4+, 3+), 27.74% asModerate biofilm producers (2+), 08.39% as Weak biofilm producers (1+) and 23.87%strains were biofilm negative. There was high resistance pattern among biofilmproducers in comparison with non-biofilm producers. The majority of the resistance ofbiofilm producing isolates was belonging to fluconazole (91.43%) followed byitraconazole (86.44%), voriconazole (83.05%) and ketoconazole (71.19%).In thisstudy, amphotericin-B was found effective against biofilm producing Candida Species.Non-biofilm producing Candida species strains were comparatively much moresensitive to these antifungal agents. Reduced susceptibility to medications like azoles,as revealed in our work, is a critical concern in the treatment of immunocompromisedpatients with serious illnesses. As a result, antifungal susceptibility testing and biofilmidentification is a potential approach for predicting a given agent's activity in diverseclinical isolates

description: Using the evidence collection and analysis methodology for Android devices proposed by Martini, Do and Choo, we examined and analyzed seven popular Android cloud-based apps. Firstly, we analyzed each app in order to see what information could be obtained from their private app storage and SD card directories. We collated the information and used it to aid our investigation of each app database files and AccountManager data. To complete our understanding of the forensic artefacts stored by apps we analyzed, we performed further analysis on the apps to determine if the user authentication credentials could be collected for each app based on the information gained in the initial analysis stages. The contributions of this research include a detailed description of artefacts, which are of general forensic interest, for each app analyzed.

description: We performed high-temperature luminescence studies of silicon-vacancy color centers obtained by ion implantation in single crystal diamond. We observed reduction of the integrated fluorescence upon increasing temperature, ascribable to a transition channel with an activation energy of 180 meV that populates a shelving state. Nonetheless, the signal decreased only 50% and 75% with respect to room temperature at 500 K and 700 K, respectively. In addition, the color center is found highly photostable at temperatures exceeding 800 K. The luminescence of this color center is thus extremely robust even at large temperatures and it holds promise for novel diamond-based light-emitting devices.

description: Strukturierte Phasen von Untersuchung-Erprobung-Reflexion-Input, kombiniert mit konkreten Lehrsituationen ("volle Situiertheit"), versprechen verbesserte Lernresultate und Praxistransfers. In zwei Modulen einer hochschuldidaktischen Weiterbildung fokussieren die Dozierenden individuelle Lehrsituationen. Dabei soll der 'Shift from Teaching to Learning' und eine datenbasierte Selbstreflexion befördert werden. Im ersten Szenario reflektieren die Teilnehmenden eine eigene Lehr-Lernsituation aus der Perspektive der Expertiseforschung. Im zweiten bearbeiten sie eine eigene didaktische Herausforderung mit dem formativen "Luuise"-Verfahren. Es erweist sich in Begleitstudien als vielversprechend.

description: Data-driven modelling provides a general means to represent optically complex fenestration in daylight simulation by its Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Function (BSDF). Radiance employs the tensor tree as an efficient data structure to store the BSDF at high directional resolution. The application of such models under sunny sky conditions is, however, elaborate, since the density of stochastic backward samples must match the BSDF resolution. The bidirectional Photon Map is proposed to rapidly forward-sample the BSDF, starting from the known sun direction. Its exemplary application shows a potential speed-up of ≥ 98 % when compared to backward ray-tracing.
