description: Among their amazing properties, graphene and related low-dimensional materials show quantized charge-density fluctuations--known as plasmons--when exposed to photons or electrons of suitable energies. Graphene nanoribbons offer an enhanced tunability of these resonant modes, due to their geometrically controllable band gaps. The formidable effort made over recent years in developing graphene-based technologies is however weakened by a lack of predictive modeling approaches that draw upon available {\it ab initio} methods. An example of such a framework is presented here, focusing on narrow-width graphene nanoribbons organized in periodic planar arrays. Time-dependent density-functional calculations reveal unprecedented plasmon modes of different nature at visible to infrared energies. Specifically, semimetallic~(zigzag) nanoribbons display an intraband plasmon following the energy-momentum dispersion of a two-dimensional electron gas. Semiconducting~(armchair) nanoribbons are instead characterized by two distinct intraband and interband plasmons, whose fascinating interplay is extremely responsive to either injection of charge carriers or increase in electronic temperature. These oscillations share some common trends with recent nanoinfrared imaging of confined edge and surface plasmon modes detected in graphene nanoribbons of $100$-$500$~nm width.

description: Organizational contexts use Situational judgment tests (SJTs) to assess and select individuals for competitive positions. As with other standardized assessments, threats to validity must be identified, examined, and communicated. As such, this research aims to identify the effects of socially desirable responding on the validity of an SJT used in a competitive selection process, and to identify if response latency provides insight into the identification of socially desirable responding. Participants in a competitive organizational selection process were administered an online assessment and the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding (BIDR). No significant correlations were identified between social desirability and the online assessment; however, this research provides evidence to suggest that participants who had shorter response latencies were less likely to participate in social desirability responding.

Spin-flip processes and radiative decay of dark intravalley excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers

description: We perform a theoretical study of radiative decay of dark intravalley excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. This decay necessarily involves an electronic spin flip. The intrinsic decay mechanism due to interband spin-flip dipole moment perpendicular to the monolayer plane, gives a rate about 100--1000 times smaller than that of bright excitons. However, we find that this mechanism also introduces an energy splitting due to a local field effect, and the whole oscillator strength is contained in the higher-energy component, while the lowest-energy state remains dark and needs an extrinsic spin-flip mechanism for the decay. Rashba effect due to a perpendicular electric field or a dielectric substrate, gives a negligible radiative decay rate (about $10^7$ times slower than that of bright excitons). Spin flip due to Zeeman effect in a sufficiently strong in-plane magnetic field can give a decay rate comparable to that due to the intrinsic interband spin-flip dipole.

Electrical, optical, and vibrational properties of oxygen-related defects in Czochralski-grown silicon for solar cells
Creators: name: Siriwardhana, Manjula
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis investigates the electrical, optical, and vibrational properties of oxygen-related defects in high-efficiency silicon solar cells, and their evolution during annealing at temperatures from 450 Degrees C to 850 Degrees C, in commercially available Czochralski-grown silicon (Cz - Si) wafers. The thesis is divided into 3 main sections. In the first part, we investigate the luminescence, vibrational and electronic characteristics of thermal donors generated at 450 Degrees C. We identify six sub-bandgap luminescence peaks and link a peak centered at 1206nm with thermal donors. We suggest that five other luminescence peaks are related to oxygen precipitates, or their nuclei. In the second part of the thesis, we estimate the capture cross sections of slow traps, induced by thermal donors, using novel photoconductance measurements together with a pulse-filling technique. We measure minority carrier cross sections of two distinct trap states on the order of 10 - 18 cm2. We show the majority carrier cross sections to be orders of magnitude smaller than minority carrier capture cross sections, suggesting trapping is dominated by minority carriers. Moving on from low-temperature thermal donors, we then investigate the vibrational and optical properties of new thermal donors and other defects generated at 650 Degrees C, 750 Degrees C and 850 Degrees C using photoluminescence and FTIR. We show that not all oxygen related defects are optically active. Overall, we demonstrate the power of luminescence spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy to differentiate various species of oxygen-related defects. These results have implications for the design and processing of high-efficiency silicon solar cells.

description: Accounting requires the ability to forecast conduit administration fees. a simple stationary lognormal model for the fees is presented. Initially, the stationarity of the sweep fees is tested by measuring the level of mean reversion. Using a Dickey-Fuller statistical test the conduits are checked for approximate stationarity. Next, assuming the raw fee data is stationary, the proposed lognormal form of the model is investigated. A Jarque-Bera statistical test formalizes this step.

description: Covering problems are classical computational problems concerning whether a certain combinatorial structure 'covers' another. For example, the minimum vertex covering problem aims to find the smallest set of vertices in a graph so that each edge is incident to at least one vertex in that set. Interestingly, the computational complexity of the minimum vertex covering problem in graphs is closely related to the core percolation problem, where the core is a special subgraph obtained by the greedy leaf removal procedure. Here, by generalizing the greedy leaf removal procedure in graphs to hypergraphs, we introduce two generalizations of core percolation in graphs to hypergraphs, related to the minimum hyperedge cover problem and the minimum vertex cover problem on hypergraphs, respectively. We offer analytical solutions of these two core percolations for random hypergraphs with arbitrary vertex degree and hyperedge cardinality distributions. We also compute these two cores in several real-world hypergraphs, finding that they tend to be much smaller than their randomized counterparts. This result suggests that both the minimum hyperedge cover problem and the minimum vertex cover problem in those real-world hypergraphs can actually be solved in polynomial time. Finally, we map the minimum dominating set problem in graphs to the minimum hyperedge cover problem in hypergraphs. We show that our generalized greedy leaf removel procedure significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art method in solving the minimum dominating set problem.
Spontaneous edge current in a small chiral superconductor with a rough surface

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We study theoretically the spontaneous edge current in a small chiral superconductor with surface roughness. We obtained self-consistent solutions of the pair potential and the vector potential by solving the quasiclassical Eilenberger equation and the Maxwell equation simultaneously. We then employed them to calculate numerically the spatial distribution of the chiral edge current in a small superconductor. The characteristic behavior of the spontaneous edge current depends strongly on the symmetries of the order parameters such as chiral $p$-, chiral $d$- and chiral $f$-wave pairing. The edge current is robust under the surface roughness in the chiral $p$- and chiral $d$-wave superconductors. In the chiral $d$-wave case, the surface roughness tends to flip the direction of the chiral current. On the other hand, the edge current in a chiral $f$-wave superconductor is fragile when there is surface roughness. We also discuss the temperature dependence of a spontaneous magnetization, which is a measurable value in standard experiments.

The effect of a single 30-minute bout of moderate intensity intermittent exercise on the inflammatory response in breast cancer survivors
Creators: name: Mills, Robert Coleman, III
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: This retrospective study examined the effect of an acute 30-minute bout of moderate intensity intermittent exercise on inflammatory markers (TNF-­‐α, CRP, and IL-10) in breast cancer survivors and healthy controls. Relationships between inflammatory markers and NK cell count were also explored. Eighteen subjects (9 breast cancer survivors, 9 healthy controls) completed the study. Markers of inflammation and NK cell count were analyzed from blood samples taken at pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, 2 hours post-exercise, and 24 hours post-exercise. There were no significant changes in inflammatory markers across time for both groups (p > 0.05). There were no significant relationships between changes in inflammatory markers and NK cell across time (p > 0.05). In conclusion, both groups responded similarly to the acute bout of exercise relating to markers of inflammation, and from this sample changes in NK cell did not seem to be mediated by the inflammatory response.
Analysis of the Immunological and Neuro-Endocrine Responses to Resistance Training in Division-I Football Players

Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Twenty Division-I American Football athletes (age = 19.1 ± 1.1 y) participated in a 6-week off-season strength and conditioning program. Athletes resistance trained for 6 weeks at 85-100% of their 1-repetition maximum (RM). Evaluations were performed at Week 1, Week 4, and Week 6 of training. At Week 6, resting measures of both IL-6 and cortisol were elevated above Week 1 baseline measures (p<0.05). Body weight increased Weeks 2-5 as well as 1-RM on the three main lifts investigated (Bench = +4.8 ± 4.2%; Squat = +2.1 ± 3.1%; Clean = +2.0 ± 3.3%). REST-Q questionnaire showed small, significant decreases in four perceived affective categories. Correlation coefficients revealed significant relationships of IL-6 and cortisol at Weeks 1 and Week 6. It appears that the training utilized in the study was strenuous enough to produce a positive physical response and increases in biomarkers, but did not cause overtraining.
A canonical rate-independent model of geometrically linear isotropic gradient plasticity with isotropic hardening and plastic spin accounting for the Burgers vector

description: In this paper we propose a canonical variational framework for rate-independent phenomenological geometrically linear gradient plasticity with plastic spin. The model combines the additive decomposition of the total distortion into non-symmetric elastic and plastic distortions, with a defect energy contribution taking account of the Burgers vector through a dependence only on the dislocation density tensor Curl(p) giving rise to a non-symmetric nonlocal backstress, and isotropic hardening response only depending on the accumulated equivalent plastic strain. The model is fully isotropic and satisfies linearized gauge-invariance conditions, i.e., only true state-variables appear. The model satisfies also the principle of maximum dissipation which allows to show existence for the weak formulation. For this result, a recently introduced Korn's inequality for incompatible tensor fields is necessary. Uniqueness is shown in the class of strong solutions. For vanishing energetic length scale, the model reduces to classical elasto-plasticity with symmetric plastic strain sym(p) and standard isotropic hardening.

description: We introduce bud generating systems, which are used for combinatorial generation. They specify sets of various kinds of combinatorial objects, called languages. They can emulate context-free grammars, regular tree grammars, and synchronous grammars, allowing us to work with all these generating systems in a unified way. The theory of bud generating systems uses colored operads. Indeed, an object is generated by a bud generating system if it satisfies a certain equation in a colored operad. To compute the generating series of the languages of bud generating systems, we introduce formal power series on colored operads and several operations on these. Series on colored operads are crucial to express the languages specified by bud generating systems and allow us to enumerate combinatorial objects with respect to some statistics. Some examples of bud generating systems are constructed; in particular to specify some sorts of balanced trees and to obtain recursive formulas enumerating these.

Ideological (Mis)Perception: Views of the Ideology of Candidates for Office
Creators: name: Gutman, Ellen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Americans know very little about politics, but are somehow still making political decisions. This paper seeks to determine some of the criteria used to make those decisions. First, through the theory of motivated reasoning, it examines the beliefs that citizens hold about the ideology of candidates for office and finds that these beliefs are mostly correct, but often biased. Then, by examining the policy preferences of candidates for office and survey respondents as well as non-policy related beliefs about candidates, this paper finds that these personality traits, as well as policy preferences, are useful in understanding the perceptions voters have of candidate ideology. Whereas ideology ratings should be determined strictly by policy preferences because ideology is a question of policy, perceived ideology is explained by both policy and personality. This finding leads to a conclusion that the judgments made by voters about candidates are, at least to some degree, based on things unrelated to the actual ideology of candidates.

description: Starting from the general effective hamiltonian relevant to the $b\to s$ transitions, we derive the expressions for the full angular distributions of the $B \to K^{(\ast )} \ell_1 \ell_2$ decay modes, as well as for ${\cal B}(B_s \to \ell_1\ell_2 )$ ($\ell_1\neq \ell_2$). We point out the differences in the treatment of the lepton flavor violating modes with respect to the lepton flavor conserving ones. Concerning the relevant Wilson coefficients we evaluate them in two different scenarios: (i) The (pseudo-)scalar coefficients are obtained using the (pseudo-)scalar coupling extracted from the experimental non-zero value of ${\cal B}(h\to μτ)$, (ii) Revisiting a $Z^\prime$-model in which the flavor changing neutral couplings are allowed. We provide the numerical estimates of the branching fractions of the above-mentioned modes in both scenarios.

description: We consider the moduli space $\mathcal{M}(G)$ of $G$-Higgs bundles over a compact Riemann surface $X$, where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group. This is a hyperkähler manifold homeomorphic to the moduli space $\mathcal{R}(G)$ of representations of the fundamental group of $X$ in $G$. In this paper we study finite order automorphisms of $\mathcal{M}(G)$ obtained by combining the action of an element of order $n$ in $H^1(X,Z)\rtimes \mbox{Out}(G)$, where $Z$ is the centre of $G$ and $\mbox{Out}(G)$ is the group of outer automorphisms of $G$, with the multiplication of the Higgs field by an $n$th-root of unity, and describe the subvarieties of fixed points. We give special attention to the case of involutions, defined by the action of an element of order $2$ in $H^1(X,Z)\rtimes\mbox{Out}(G)$ combined with the multiplication of the Higgs field by $\pm 1$. In this situation, the subvarieties of fixed points are hyperkähler submanifolds of $\mathcal{M}(G)$ in the (+1)-case, corresponding to the moduli space of representations of the fundamental group in certain reductive complex subgroups of $G$ defined by holomorphic involutions of $G$; while in the (-1)-case they are Lagrangian subvarieties corresponding to the moduli space of representations of the fundamental group of $X$ in real forms of $G$ and certain extensions of these. We illustrate the general theory with the description of involutions for $G=\mbox{SL}(n,\mathbb{C})$ and involutions and order three automorphism defined by triality for $G=\mbox{Spin}(8,\mathbb{C})$.

The effect of glycogen depletion on responses of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 to maximal exercise
Creators: name: Leppert, Kyle McDonald
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of glycogen stores on the maximal responses of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 to a discontinuous, progressive cycle ergometry test. Eight trained cyclists completed two progressive maximal cycle ergometry tests (5 min stages with 5 min recovery), one normally fed and one following glycogen-depletion (2-h at 60-65% VO2max). Percent changes in circulating IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 were measured during exercise and recovery and peak changes were compared. IL-6 showed a trend towards significant interaction effect of exercise time and trial condition (p = 0.054) in both trials, but there were no significant differences among percent changes in IL-1β or IL-10.

description: Gegenstand der Arbeit ist eine Analyse der Ereignisse, die der Erstürmung der Babri-Moschee von Ayodhya durch Aktivisten der hindu-fundamentalistischen Bewegung am 30. Oktober 1990 vorhergingen. Dabei wird eine Untersuchung all der am Konflikt beteiligten Parteien und Organisationen, ihre Geschichte, Strategien und Taktiken vorgenommen: VHP, BJS/BJP, RSS, moslemische Organisationen, Kongreßpartei, Janata Dal. Die Arbeit zeigt die Wandlungen im Hinduismus auf, die sich durch die Ayodhya-Kampagne ergaben und beschreibt deren religiöse Symbolik. Es werden die rechtlichen Aspekte des Problems der Babri-Moschee im unabhängigen Indien analysiert und die Möglichkeiten der Lösung des Konflikts hinterfragt. Die Arbeit verdeutlicht den Stellenwert der Problematik eingebettet in die Gesamtentwicklung des Landes und deren hauptsächlichen politischen Ideen seit dem Jahre 1947.
description: The thesis analyses the events leading up to the storming of the Babri Mosque at Ayodhya by activists of the Hindu fundamentalist movement on 30th October 1990. In this context, all parties and organisations involved in the conflict, their histories, strategies and tactics are examined: Vishva Hindu Parishad, Bharatiya Jana Sangh/Bharatiya Janata Party, Rashtriya Svayamsevak Sangh, Muslim organisations, Indian National Congress, Janata Dal. The thesis demonstrates the changes within Hinduism revealed by the Ayodhya campaign and, in doing so, describes its religious symbolism. Legal aspects of the Babri Mosque issue in independent India are also analysed and possible scenarios of conflict resolution explored. The thesis illustrates the importance of the issue in the context of the country’s overall development and its central political trends since 1947.

description: The sixth issue is an invitation to look beyond the definitions of meaningfulness, appropriation and integration, and explore the relations between them. We have liberally arranged the articles under the three main themes but, as it can easily become clear, there are overlaps among the themes. In that way, this issue offers not only a geographical journey along different urban narratives, but also an expedition into the network of interrelated terms and spatial practices.

description: Motivated by applications in materials science, a set of quasiconvexity at the boundary conditions is introduced for domains that are locally diffeomorphic to cones. These conditions are shown to be necessary for strong local minimisers in the vectorial Calculus of Variations and a quasiconvexity-based sufficiency theorem is established for ${\rm C}^1$ extremals defined on this class of non-smooth domains. The sufficiency result presented here thus extends the seminal theorem by Grabovsky \& Mengesha (2009), where smoothness assumptions are made on the boundary.

description: This fifth issue of the Writingplace Journal examines different narrative methods, understood as procedures, techniques or ways of relating or recounting events, and how they can be used to appraise and imagine the city. The editorial process of the issue has been developed within the context of the EU-funded COST Action ‘Writing Urban Places’,1 a multidisciplinary network of researchers who are interested in developing new narratives for the European city. By recognizing the value of urban narratives – stories rich in information regarding citizens’ sociospatial practices, perceptions, hopes and ambitions – the network seeks to foster and preserve the democratic, and therefore inclusive, nature of the modern European city.

description: ¿Qué control puede ejercer el Tribunal constitucional acerca del juicio del juez ordinario sobre la aplicación al caso del Derecho de la Unión? Dos teorías se han abierto paso, en relación dialéctica, en la jurisprudencia constitucional española: la tesis del “doble canon” y la tesis del canon unitario. ¿Es posible llegar a la confluencia o armonía entre las dos tesis?

Undefined Terrain

description: In a period when cities are getting denser while simultaneously adapting to climate change, green urban spaces have come into focus. The green city has become a persuasive new brand, and I have studied sites that have been left undefined for years, thereby providing areas with unruly and wild vegetation that anybody is welcome to use for recreational purposes. Ideas about making cities greener are not new, and there are well-known examples in utopian fiction that describe whole cities that have the same appearance as the vacant lots I have documented and filmed: the Ellstorp lot in Malmö, and the Beauvais lot in Copenhagen. In News from Nowhere by William Morris, large areas of London have turned into forest; in Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach, San Francisco is covered with large, park-like, car-free boulevards. These examples open up for change with the intent to create not only sustainable societies but also more equality. Women in these narrations represents the unknown, a space where you can project your fantasies, that in both novels are tainted by stereotypical thinking. To me, the sites offer a space in the city that allows me to escape these kinds of projections. But I also consider these places a utopia in reverse, where the undeveloped green space resists gentrification. Instead these sites offer valuable qualities in their function as unprogrammed areas with a rich vegetation that anybody can enjoy, adding biodiversity and inclusion to the city.

‘Brasilia Is Blood on a Tennis Court’
Creators: name: Pint, Kris
Publisher: name: Writingplace
Year: 2020

description: In this article, I want to argue that literature can function as a supplementary form of knowledge in architecture criticism. The phenomenology of architecture often uses literature as an ideal instrument to gain knowledge about the built environment, revealing the subtleties of architectural memories, sensations and affects. However, Julia Kristeva’s take on literature provides a more radical interpretation of the literary experience as a limit-experience. Kristeva’s notion of the ‘semiotic’ allows for a use of literature that critically rethinks the phenomenological relation between the body and architectural structures. It also allows to explore other, more associative ways of writing about architecture. I will discuss Clarice Lispector’s literary, experimental and embodied account of Brasilia as a possible inspiration for such an approach. I will focus on the metaphor as a way in which the semiotic can express itself in literary language, challenging fixed interpretations and connecting different fields of perception and affection.

She Always Forgot That the Earth Is Damp

description: French artist Louise Bourgeois (1911- 2010) moved to New York, where she would reside the rest of her life, immediately after her marriage, in 1938. As a newcomer, a new wife, and a new mother, Bourgeois spent the first few years of her American life trying to balance domesticity and artistic practice. She resorted to producing prints, which afforded her certain flexibility compared to other medium. In 1947, Bourgeois created a small, printed booklet of illustrated parables, He disappeared into complete silence. This project, originally conceived as a way of inserting herself into the creative fabric of the city, proved to be a pivotal point for the artist. In it, Bourgeois presents a cast of anthropomorphised buildings, revealing a relationship between architecture and pathos. Bourgeois’ architectural characters have been well-studied. This essay, though, wants to emphasise the way architectural and personal affect are explored in Bourgeois’ texts for the booklet, and the way the artist juxtaposes visual and textual language.

description: We discuss a method to reconstruct two-dimensional proton bunch densities using vertex distributions accumulated during LHC beam-beam scans. The $x$-$y$ correlations in the beam shapes are studied and an alternative luminosity calibration technique is introduced. We demonstrate the method on simulated beam-beam scans and estimate the uncertainty on the luminosity calibration associated to the beam-shape reconstruction to be below 1\%.

Ordinary Walking, Ordinary Writing
Creators: name: Stead, Naomi
Publisher: name: Writingplace
Year: 2019

description: Naomi Stead pursues a theoretical inquiry into the relationship between writing and walking based on author’s previous ficto-critical texts based in Stockholm, Sydney and Brisbane. The text was inspired by a small article that appeared in the daily newspaper in Melbourne, Australia in March 2018, which described the effect of different linguistic formulations used by phone dispatchers at ambulance stations, when someone telephoned in need of urgent medical attention. The story was about the difference between the dispatcher asking ‘what happened’ – which tended to send the caller off into a longwinded narrative account with much extraneous detail – and when the dispatcher asked ‘what’s happened’ – which caused the caller to report, quickly and directly, the sequence of events that had led to the medical emergency. The difference between these two modes of communication – the division of ‘what’ and ‘what’s,’ the single letter – was measured in long seconds, even minutes, and could easily be the difference between life and death. This text is introduced by a reading compiled by Robin Wilson

Testing CCDM Cosmology with the Radiation Temperature-Redshift Relation

description: The standard $Λ$CDM model can be mimicked at the background and perturbative levels (linear and non-linear) by a class of gravitationally induced particle production cosmology dubbed CCDM cosmology. However, the radiation component in the CCDM model follows a slightly different temperature-redshift $T(z)$-law which depends on an extra parameter, $ν_r$, describing the subdominant photon production rate. Here we perform a statistical analysis based on a compilation of 36 recent measurements of $T(z)$ at low and intermediate redshifts. The likelihood of the production rate in CCDM cosmologies is constrained by $ν_r = 0.024^{+0.026}_{-0.024}$ ($1σ$ confidence level), thereby showing that $Λ$CDM ($ν_r=0$) is still compatible with the adopted data sample. Although being hardly differentiated in the dynamic sector (cosmic history and matter fluctuations), the so-called thermal sector (temperature law, abundances of thermal relics and CMB power spectrum) offers a clear possibility for crucial tests confronting $Λ$CDM and CCDM cosmologies.
