description: The topographic and electronic structure of cleaved SrTiO3(001) surfaces were studied, employing samples that either had or had not been coated with Ti on their outer surfaces prior to fracture. In both cases, SrO- and TiO2-terminated terraces were present on the cleavage surface, enabling in situ studies on either termination. However, the samples coated with Ti prior to fracture were found to yield a rougher morphology on TiO2-terminated terraces as well as a higher density of oxygen vacancies during an annealing (outgassing) step following the coating. The higher density of oxygen vacancies in the bulk of the Ti-coated samples also provides higher conductivity which, in turn, improves a sensitivity of the spectroscopy and reduces the effect of tip-induced band bending. Nonetheless, similar spectral features, unique to each termination, were observed for samples both with and without the Ti coating. Notably, with moderate-temperature annealing following fracture, a strong discrete peak in the conductance spectra, arising from oxygen vacancies, was observed on the SrO-terminated terraces. This peak appears at slightly different voltages for coated and uncoated samples, signifying a possible effect of tip-induced band bending.

Erasing the Color Line: The Racial Formation of Creoles of Color and the Public School Integration Movement in New Orleans, 1867-1880
Creators: name: Yamanaka, Mishio
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: This thesis examines the public school racial integration movement of Creoles of color, a francophone interracial group in New Orleans, from 1867 to 1880. During Reconstruction, Creoles of color succeeded in desegregating about one-third of the city public schools. This thesis argues that the integration campaign of Creoles of color was an attempt to maintain their in-between identity--being neither fully whites nor fully blacks and being both Creoles and Americans--and an effort to erase the color line by improving the social status of black Americans to equal that of white Americans. Creoles of color forged desegregation by manipulating their ambiguous ethno-racial heritage and by negotiating with white radical Republicans, white New Orleanians and Anglophone blacks. Focusing on the political, legal and grass-root struggles of Creoles of color, this thesis reveals that they challenged segregation as it symbolized the emergence of biracial hierarchy in post-Civil War New Orleans.

description: The retrieval of black hole information was recently presented in two interesting proposals in the 'Hawking Radiation' conference: a revised version by G. 't Hooft of a proposal he initially suggested 20 years ago and, a new proposal by S. Hawking. Both proposals address the problem of black hole information loss at the classical level and derive an expression for the scattering matrix. The former uses gravitation back reaction of incoming particles that imprints its information on the outgoing modes. The latter uses supertranslation symmetry of horizons to relate a phase delay of the outgoing wave packet compared to their incoming wave partners. The difficulty in both proposals is that the entropy obtained from them appears to be infinite. By including quantum effects into the Hawking and 't Hooft's proposals, I show that a subtlety arising from the inescapable measurement process, the Quantum Zeno Effect, not only tames divergences but it actually recovers the correct $1/4$ of the area Bekenstein-Hawking entropy law of black holes.

description: The relationship between inflammation and regional brain volume has been investigated in a variety of contexts including major depressive disorder and other psychiatric diseases, normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that is highly prevalent, often comorbid with depression and anxiety, and is a risk factor for dementia and mild cognitive impairment. However, few studies have explored the link between asthma-related inflammation and regional brain volume. The current study extends previous work by examining this question in a larger sample (134 control, 127 asthma) with a large age range (25.1 to 65.8 control, 18.8 to 70.0 asthma) and a broad range of asthma severity. In the current study, we will examine differences in regional brain volume between individuals with asthma and age- and sex-matched healthy controls, in targeted ROIs utilizing structural MRI data across three datasets.

description: Coronene, a polyaromatic hydrocarbon, has been crystallized for the first time in a different polymorph using a crystal growth method that utilizes magnetic fields to access a unit cell configuration that was hitherto unknown. Crystals grown in magnetic field of 1 T are larger, have a different appearance to those grown in zero field and retain their structure in ambient conditions. We identify the new form, beta-coronene, as the most stable at low temperatures. As a result of the new supramolecular configuration we report significantly altered electronic, optical and mechanical properties.

description: We theoretically investigate the dynamical phase diagram of a one-dimensional chain of laser-excited two-species Rydberg atoms. The existence of a variety of unique dynamical phases in the experimentally-achievable parameter region is predicted under the mean-field approximation, and the change of those phases when the effect of the next-nearest neighbor interaction is included is further discussed. In particular we find the competition of the strong Rydberg-Rydberg interactions and the optical excitation imbalance can lead to the presence of complex multiple chaotic phases, which are highly sensitive to the initial Rydberg-state population and the strength of the next-nearest neighbor interactions.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This study investigated the relationship between executive function (EF)and three fitness measurements: body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (%BF), and physical activity levels (PA). This was a sub-study as part of the study of Role of recreational sport participation on cerebral white matter integrity in older adults (PI: B. Marks, Biomedical IRB #:05-3151; Funding: Biomedical Research Imaging Center, UNC-CH). Nineteen older adults aged 60 to 76 (10 males, 6 females) volunteered from the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina. The subjects' executive function (EF) was determined with the The Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive System (BADS) test battery. Body composition was assessed using skinfold measurements of the same four anatomical sites for both men and women: tricep, bicep, subscapular, and suprailiac. Physical activity levels were derived using a combined score for household, sports and leisure activities from the Modified Baecke Daily Activity questionnaire. Pearson correlations and simple regression found that the BADS was not significantly related to any of the three measurements (BMI: r2 = 0.0073, p = 0.75; %BF: r2 = 0.0626, p = 0.35; PA: r2 = 0.0454; p = 0.43). The three individual measurements for PA also showed no relationship with BADS (Household: r2= 0.070, p = 0.329; Leisure: r2= 0.040, p = 0.458; Sports: r2= 0.006, p = 0.768). The results of this study indicated that no significant relationship exists between BMI, %BF, PA and EF as measured by the BADS.

description: Consider a three dimensional cusped spherical $\mathrm{CR}$ manifold $M$ and suppose that the holonomy representation of $π_1(M)$ can be deformed in such a way that the peripheral holonomy is generated by a non-parabolic element. We prove that, in this case, there is a spherical $\mathrm{CR}$ structure on some Dehn surgeries of $M$. The result is very similar to R. Schwartz's spherical $\mathrm{CR}$ Dehn surgery theorem, but has weaker hypotheses and does not give the unifomizability of the structure. We apply our theorem in the case of the Deraux-Falbel structure on the Figure Eight knot complement and obtain spherical $\mathrm{CR}$ structures on all Dehn surgeries of slope $-3 + r$ for $r \in \mathbb{Q}^{+}$ small enough.

Revisiting the ultraluminous supersoft source in M101: an optically thick outflow model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The M101 galaxy contains the best-known example of an ultraluminous supersoft source (ULS), dominated by a thermal component at kT ~ 0.1 keV. The origin of the thermal component and the relation between ULSs and standard (broad-band spectrum) ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are still controversial. We re-examined the X-ray spectral and timing properties of the M101 ULS using archival Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. We show that the X-ray time-variability and spectral properties are inconsistent with standard disk emission. The characteristic radius R_{bb} of the thermal emitter varies from epoch to epoch between ~10,000 km and ~100,000 km; the colour temperature kT_{bb} varies between ~50 eV and ~140 eV; and the two quantities scale approximately as R_{bb} ~ T_{bb}^{-2}. In addition to the smooth continuum, we also find (at some epochs) spectral residuals well fitted with thermal plasma models and absorption edges: we interpret this as evidence that we are looking at a clumpy, multi-temperature outflow. We suggest that at sufficiently high accretion rates and inclination angles, the super-critical, radiatively driven outflow becomes effectively optically thick and completely thermalizes the harder X-ray photons from the inner part of the inflow, removing the hard spectral tail. We develop a simple, spherically symmetric outflow model and show that it is consistent with the observed temperatures, radii and luminosities. A larger, cooler photosphere shifts the emission peak into the far-UV and makes the source dimmer in X-rays but possibly ultraluminous in the UV. We compare our results and interpretation with those of Liu et al. (2013).

Organized crime in postcommunist regimes
Creators: name: Jackson, Robert J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: In this thesis I examine the transitions to democracy found in the postcommunist regimes of Eurasia and compare among them levels of organized crime. I find that the regime type classified as competitive authoritarian bears the highest levels of organized crime. This relationship is explained by a number of weak state institutions, such as problematic economic liberalization, low rule of law, and weak civil society. The political environment of competitive authoritarianism provides the ideal conditions for criminal organizations to set up shop and flourish. Additionally, I show that as states exit competitive authoritarianism, moving either toward liberal democracy or toward closed authoritarianism, the levels of organized crime decrease.
Joining radio with X-rays: A revised model for SN 1993J
Creators: name: Bjornsson, Claes-I.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A joint analysis is done of the radio and X-ray observations of SN 1993J. It is argued that neither synchrotron cooling behind the forward shock nor thermal cooling behind the reverse shock is supported by observations. In order for adiabatic models to be consistent, a reinterpretation of the radius of the spatially resolved VLBI-source is needed during the first few hundred days. Instead of reflecting the position of the forward shock, it is then associated with the expansion of the Rayleigh-Taylor unstable region emanating from the contact discontinuity. Although observations imply a constant ratio between the energy densities in magnetic fields and relativistic electrons, they do not appear to scale individually with the thermal energy density behind the forward shock; rather, in adiabatic models, the evolution of the magnetic field strength is best understood as scaling inversely with the supernova radius.

description: The Office of Child Care (OCC), an office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF), seeks to identify and provide evidence for promising solutions to implement interstate background checks as mandated by the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 2014 (CCDBGA). The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within ACF has contracted with CNA to provide an analysis of the status and challenges faced by states and to identify and justify potential solutions for the implementation of interstate background checks for child care facilities as mandated by the CCDBGA. As a key component of this work, CNA was asked to plan a prevalence study of a select number of states and territories to examine and assess the completeness and degree of duplication across databases in conducting child care background checks including the federal, intrastate , and interstate components. The Prevalence Study will assess the extent of duplication across databases in conducting child care background checks, including the federal, intrastate, and interstate components. The approach focuses on the prevalence of information that resulted in disqualification of individuals from employment under CCDBGA. By focusing on actual disqualifications under CCDBGA, this approach will ensure that the prevalence data collection and analysis is targeted to program specific populations and offenses. The CC-IBaCs Prevalence Study will assess the completeness of coverage and degree of duplication across databases in conducting CCDBGA background checks including the federal, intrastate, and interstate components. The following are the goals of the approach: • Analyze and report on the incremental contributions of all data sources to determining CCDBGA employment eligibility in the states selected for the study; • Assess the overlap between criminal history sources (federal, intrastate, interstate). Similarly, assess overlap in the sex offender registry (SOR) sources; • Assess the overlap between the state SOR official database and SOR public website sources for the populations and crimes that are relevant to determining CCDBGA employment eligibility, and • Assess the overlap between criminal history sources and Child Abuse and Neglect Registry (CAN) data sources to determine CCDBGA employment eligibility in the states selected for the study;

description: We perform $N$-body simulations of star clusters in time-dependant galactic potentials. Since the Milky Way was built-up through mergers with dwarf galaxies, its globular cluster population is made up of clusters formed both during the initial collapse of the Galaxy and in dwarf galaxies that were later accreted. Throughout a dwarf-Milky Way merger, dwarf galaxy clusters are subject to a changing galactic potential. Building on our previous work, we investigate how this changing galactic potential affects the evolution of a cluster's half mass radius. In particular, we simulate clusters on circular orbits around a dwarf galaxy that either falls into the Milky Way or evaporates as it orbits the Milky Way. We find that the dynamical evolution of a star cluster is determined by whichever galaxy has the strongest tidal field at the position of the cluster. Thus, clusters entering the Milky Way undergo changes in size as the Milky Way tidal field becomes stronger and that of the dwarf diminishes. We find that ultimately accreted clusters quickly become the same size as a cluster born in the Milky Way on the same orbit. Assuming their initial sizes are similar, clusters born in the Galaxy and those that are accreted cannot be separated based on their current size alone.

description: Quasi-periodic propagating intensity disturbances have been observed in large coronal loops in EUV images over a decade, and are widely accepted to be slow magnetosonic waves. However, spectroscopic observations from Hinode/EIS revealed their association with persistent coronal upflows, making this interpretation debatable. We perform a 2.5D magnetohydrodynamic simulation to imitate the chromospheric evaporation and the following reflected patterns in a flare loop. Our model encompasses the corona, transition region, and chromosphere. We demonstrate that the quasi periodic propagating intensity variations captured by the synthesized \textit{Solar Dynamics Observatory}/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) 131, 94~Å~emission images match the previous observations well. With particle tracers in the simulation, we confirm that these quasi periodic propagating intensity variations consist of reflected slow mode waves and mass flows with an average speed of 310 km/s in an 80 Mm length loop with an average temperature of 9 MK. With the synthesized Doppler shift velocity and intensity maps of the \textit{Solar and Heliospheric Observatory}/Solar Ultraviolet Measurement of Emitted Radiation (SUMER) Fe XIX line emission, we confirm that these reflected slow mode waves are propagating waves.

Comparison of Two Gingival Displacement Procedures; a Pilot Study
Creators: name: Prudenti, Anthony
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Objective: The primary objective was to examine if a cordless gingival displacement procedure displaces sulcular tissue to facilitate acceptable impressions for fixed prosthodontic restorations. Materials and Methods: Fifteen (15) patients were recruited; cordless impressions (n=7) and conventional corded impression (n=8) were made during routine treatment for fixed dental prostheses. Results: Fisher’s exact tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, and an unpaired t-test were used to compare variables between (CD) and (CL) groups, and to compare variables between acceptable and unacceptable impressions. Level of significance was set at 0.05 for all analysis. Within this small sample size, the 2 groups (CD and CL) are significantly similar in relation to most variables. Only TEAR and EVAL were significantly different between CD and CL, and VOID was significantly different between acceptable and not acceptable impression groups. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, marginal tearing statistically affected the acceptance of impressions made using the cordless procedure.

description: Magnetization dynamics are strongly influenced by damping. An effective damping constant αeff is often determined experimentally from the spectral linewidth of the free induction decay of the magnetization after the system is excited to its non-equilibrium state. Such an αeff, however, reflects both intrinsic damping as well as inhomogeneous broadening. In this paper we compare measurements of the magnetization dynamics in ultrathin non-epitaxial films having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy using two different techniques, time-resolved magneto optical Kerr effect (TRMOKE) and hybrid optical-electrical ferromagnetic resonance (OFMR). By using an external magnetic field that is applied at very small angles to the film plane in the TRMOKE studies, we develop an explicit closed-form analytical expression for the TRMOKE spectral linewidth and show how this can be used to reliably extract the intrinsic Gilbert damping constant. The damping constant determined in this way is in excellent agreement with that determined from the OFMR method on the same samples. Our studies indicate that the asymptotic high-field approach that is often used in the TRMOKE method to distinguish the intrinsic damping from the effective damping may result in significant error, because such high external magnetic fields are required to make this approach valid that they are out of reach. The error becomes larger the lower is the intrinsic damping constant, and thus may account for the anomalously high damping constants that are often reported in TRMOKE studies. In conventional ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies, inhomogeneous contributions can be readily distinguished from intrinsic damping contributions from the magnetic field dependence of the FMR linewidth. Using the analogous approach, we show how reliable values of the intrinsic damping can be extracted from TRMOKE.

description: Imposing twisted boundary conditions on the fermionic fields is a procedure extensively used when evaluating, for example, form factors on the lattice. Twisting is usually performed for one flavour and only in the valence, and this causes a breaking of unitarity. In this work we explore the possibility of restoring unitarity through the reweighting method. We first study some properties of the approach at tree level and then we stochastically evaluate ratios of fermionic determinants for different boundary conditions in order to include them in the gauge averages, avoiding in this way the expensive generation of new configurations for each choice of the twisting angle, $θ$. As expected the effect of reweighting is negligible in the case of large volumes but it is important when the volumes are small and the twisting angles are large. In particular we find a measurable effect for the plaquette and the pion correlation function in the case of $θ=π/2$ in a volume $16\times 8^3$, and we observe a systematic upward shift in the pion dispersion relation.

description: This study represents the primary analysis of the project entitled Trajectories and Predictors of Women’s Postpartum Genito-pelvic Pain and Sexual Well-being, conducted by Natalie Rosen (Dalhousie University) in 2014-2020. Women pregnant with their first child (N = 649) were recruited from the IWK Health Centre (Halifax, NS) at their 20-week ultrasound appointment to participate in a longitudinal study that included completing questionnaires at 6 time-points: mid-pregnancy (18-24 weeks), third trimester (32-36 weeks), 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-months postpartum. Data on labor and delivery were obtained by chart review. Data have been collected for this study in full.

description: We present a novel technique that uses the autocorrelation of the spectrum of a star to measure the line broadening caused by the modulus of its average surface magnetic field. The advantage of the autocorrelation comes from the fact that it can detect very small spectral line broadening effects because it averages over many spectral lines and therefore gives an average with a very high signal to noise ratio. We validate the technique with the spectra of known magnetic stars and obtain autocorrelation curves that are in full agreement with published magnetic curves obtained with Zeeman splitting. The autocorrelation also gives less noisy curves so that it can be used to obtain very accurate curves. We degrade the resolution of spectra of these magnetic stars to lower spectral resolutions where the Zeeman splitting is undetectable. At these resolutions, the autocorrelation still gives good quality curves, thereby showing that it can be used to measure magnetic fields in spectra where the Zeeman splitting is significantly smaller than the width of the spectral line. This would therefore allow observing magnetic fields in very faint Ap stars with low-resolution spectrographs, thereby greatly increasing the number of known magnetic stars. It also demonstrates that the autocorrelation can measure magnetic fields in rapidly rotating stars as well as weak magnetic fields that give a Zeeman splitting smaller than the intrinsic width of the spectral lines. Finally, it shows that the autocorrelation can be used to find unknown magnetic stars in low resolution spectroscopic surveys.

description: Question 1: In a national sample of adolescents aged 13 to 16 (sample size cannot be determined at this time, and is estimated to be from N = 2400 to 3100), we will evaluate whether sexual orientation is associated with any differences in the presence and severity of mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, substance use, COVID-19-related trauma, disordered eating) during COVID-19. Question 2: In a national sample of adolescents aged 13 to 16 (sample size cannot be determined at this time, and is estimated to be from N = 2400 to 3100), we will evaluate whether gender identity is associated with any differences in the presence and severity of mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, substance use, COVID-19-related trauma, disordered eating) during COVID-19. Question 3: As an exploratory analysis, in a national sample of adolescents aged 13 to 16 (sample size cannot be determined at this time, and is estimated to be from N = 2400 to 3100), we will evaluate whether any differences in presence and severity of mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, substance use, COVID-19-related trauma, disordered eating) among sexual and gender minorities differ across intersecting racial/ethnic identities during COVID-19. This project will be a secondary data analysis using baseline (i.e., pre-intervention), self-reported data from a clinical trial administered to 2,409 adolescents (aged 13 to 16) through Instagram (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04634903). The analyses will be performed primarily by the first author, who has not worked with the data or seen it prior to analyses.

description: A distribution function approach is applied to describe the dynamics of the laser beam in the Earth atmosphere. Using a formal solution of the kinetic equation for the distribution function, we have developed an iterative scheme for calculation of the scintillation index ($σ^2$). The problem reduces to obtaining the photon trajectories and their correlations. Bringing together theoretical calculations and many-fold computer integrations, the value of $σ^2$ is obtained. It is shown that a considerable growth of $σ^2$ in the range of a moderate turbulence is due to the correlations of different trajectories. The criteria of applicability of our approach for both the coherent and partially coherent light are derived.
