description: Radiation damage in biological systems by ionizing radiation is predominantly caused by secondary processes such as charge and energy transfer leading to the breaking of bonds in DNA. Here, we study the fragmentation of cytosine (Cyt) and thymine (Thy) molecules, clusters and microhydrated derivatives induced by direct and indirect ionization initiated by extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) irradiation. Photofragmentation mass spectra and photoelectron spectra of free Cyt and Thy molecules are compared with mass and electron spectra of Cyt/Thy clusters and microhydrated Cyt/Thy molecules formed by aggregation in superfluid helium (He) nanodroplets. Penning ionization after resonant excitation of the He droplets is generally found to cause less fragmentation compared to direct photoionization and charge-transfer ionization after photoionization of the He droplets. When Cyt/Thy molecules and oligomers are complexed with water molecules, their fragmentation is efficiently suppressed. However, a similar suppression of fragmentation is observed when homogeneous Cyt/Thy clusters are formed in He nanodroplets, indicating a general trend. Penning ionization electron spectra (PIES) of Cyt/Thy are broad and nearly featureless but PIES of their microhydrated derivatives point at a sequential ionization process ending in unfragmented microsolvated Cyt/Thy cations.

description: A new approach has been developed for teaching programming to musicians. The approach uses personal computers with music synthesis capabilities, and students write programs in order to realize musical compositions. Our curriculum emphasizes abstraction in programming by the early introduction of high-level concepts and the late introduction of programming language details. We also emphasize abstraction by relating programming concepts to musical concepts which are already familiar to our students. We have successfully used this curriculum to teach Pascal to children and we are presently using it in a university-level course for composers.
title: In service to the church: The nue Sachlichkeit and the organ chorale prelude in Norway: a study of Pro organo (1951-1958) by Rolf Karlsen and Ludvig Nielsen
Creators: name: Hamnes, David
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2009

description: "This study seeks to demonstrate how the chorale prelude, as presented in the Pro organo (1951-1958), a collection of 323 historical and 20th-century chorale preludes compiled and edited by Rolf Karlsen (1911-1982) and Ludvig Nielsen (1906-2001), represents the ethos of the neue Sachlichkeit (new objectivity) in music written for the Lutheran established Church of Norway in the middle decade of the 20th century, and how the compilation challenged received Norwegian organ music traditions. The concept of the neue Sachlichkeit, often used in describing tendencies in art, literature, film and architecture, was also interpreted in Northern Europe to imply an historicist, idealised compositional style in church music in reaction to what was seen as excessive 19th-century sentimentality. The chorale prelude provides an ideal microcosmic element for musico-liturgical study. Strongly influenced by Per Steenberg's Koralbok (1949), Pro organo embraces both works from the 17th and 18th centuries and contemporary material composed specifically for the collection, including 262 works by Karlsen and Nielsen. Throughout, it reflects an editorial desire to provide apposite music for the church according to principles of what was then called the 'pure style' in music. The main hypothesis of the study is that the compilation Pro organo demonstrates a clear manifestation of neue Sachlichkeit style ideals through the provision of clear, brief, moderate organ introductions of high quality to congregational hymns, and hence constitutes a major landmark in the history of Norwegian liturgical music for the organ. Of particular importance were fidelity to the chorale tune, minimal sentimentality, technical moderation and concision, with the use of imitative and other compositional techniques drawn from historical practices. In the context of neue Sachlichkeit style ideals, the study questions the extent to which contemporary works were modelled on historical precetents and furthermore, it examines the ways in which the 20th-century works by the compilers develop historical style principles."

IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF DEPRESSION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN STROKE CARE (DIPS)
Creators: name: Wilson, Susan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a serious complication of stroke. It often goes undetected and untreated.
      Purpose: The primary objective was to evaluate utilization of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), depression treatment algorithm and development of a treatment plan. Secondary objectives were to (1) evaluate timing of PHQ-9 (2) compare the relationship between PSD, severity of stroke, functional disability and discharge location and (3) evaluate patient reported PHQ-9 and proxy family member caregivers results and (4) determine staff satisfaction with project implementation.
      Methods: In an observational study, 85 consecutive ischemic stroke (IS), hemorrhagic stroke (ICH), subarachnoid (SAH), and transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients consented to participate during admission between March and August 2017. Patients and proxy caregivers completed the PHQ-9 within the first 48 hours of admission, post-discharge day 7, and post-discharge day 30 to assess for depression. The modified Rankin Score (mRS) assessment tool was used to evaluate functional disability pre-stroke and at discharge.
      Results: Subjects were diagnosed with IS (n=68), ICH (n=15), SAH (n=1) and TIA (n=1). During admission, 47.1% reported depression symptoms. There were 16 (p=0.053) incident cases at day 7 and 13 (p=0.0046) incident cases at day 30. 37.5% were treated during admission based on the initial PHQ-9 score, p=0.0005. Forty-two percent were treated by discharge, p=0.0002. 43.6% were treated by day 7, p=0.0007 and 40.5% treated by day 30, p=0.0002. A significant increase in reported PHQ-9 score from baseline admission occurred later during admission, p=0.0046 and a moderately positive relationship existed between patient reported PHQ-9 and proxy, p<0.0001. A significant relationship occurred between reported minor depression and discharge to a skilled nursing facility (p=0.0163).
      Conclusions: This study suggests that implementation of an evidenced-based depression screening and treatment algorithm can improve detection of depression symptoms and treatment of PSD during the acute phase of hospitalization. Patients reported a significant increase in depression symptoms later in the admission and there is moderately positive relationship between patient reported PHQ-9 scores and proxy caregiver. Assessment and treatment of PSD during acute hospitalization with follow-up after discharge should be standard of care for all stroke sub-types.

description: Massive QED, in contrast with its massless counterpart, possesses two conserved charges; one is a screened (vanishing) Maxwell charge which is directly associated with the massive vector mesons through the identically conserved Maxwell current. A somewhat peculiar situation arises for couplings of Hermitian matter fields to massive vector potentials; in that case the only current is the screened Maxwell current and the coupling disappears in the massless limit. In case of selfinteracting massive vector mesons the situation becomes even more peculiar in that the usually renormalizability guaranteeing validity of the first order power-counting criterion breaks down in second order and requires the compensatory presence of additional Hermitian H-fields. Some aspect of these observation have already been noticed in the BRST gauge theoretic formulation, but here we use a new setting based on string-local vector mesons which is required by Hilbert space positivity. The coupling to H-fields induces Mexican hat like selfinteractions; they are not imposed and bear no relation with spontaneous symmetry breaking; they are rather consequences of the foundational causal localization properties realized in a Hilbert space setting. In case of selfinteracting massive vectormesons their presence is required in order to maintain the first order power-counting restriction of renormalizability also in second order. The presentation of the new Hilbert space setting for vector mesons which replaces gauge theory and extends on-shell unitarity to its off-shell counterpart is the main motivation for this work. The new Hilbert space setting also shows that the second order Lie-algebra structure of selfinteracting vector mesons is a consequence of the principles of QFT and promises a deeper understanding of the origin of confinement.

description: We point out that the gauge-invariance of the subleading Lagrangian of soft-collinear effective theory is realised in an intricate way through momentum-conservation violating contributions. Although these terms are disregarded in diagrammatic calculations, the gauge invariance of any physical transition amplitude is preserved due to the soft equations of motion. When not working with gauge-invariant building blocks, individual manifestly gauge-invariant constituent terms in the Lagrangian may give rise to gauge-dependent matrix elements starting at $\mathcal{O}(λ^2)$. Implications for a gauge-invariant definition of radiative jet functions are discussed.

The medical discourse on military psychiatry and the psychological trauma of war: World War I to DSM-III
Creators: name: Levandoski, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Using the professional journals of the mental health community this thesis discusses how the discourse on psychological trauma and the trauma of war developed within the psychiatric profession during the twentieth century. During WWI military psychiatrists attempted to master the dual responsibilities of treating and preventing war neuroses. Then, during and after WWII, the professional discourse acquired greater nuance when the mental health community sought to understand the chronic nature of some trauma-related neurotic conditions. The thesis concludes with the public and professional debates on the psychological trauma of war during and after the Vietnam War, which culminated in 1980 with the acceptance of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by the mental health community as an official diagnostic category. Whereas some scholars argue that PTSD was a social construction of the post-Vietnam era, this thesis demonstrates that the theoretical foundations of the diagnosis developed long before American involvement in Vietnam.

description: The CKM matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ can be extracted by combining experimentally determined branching fractions for $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}\ell\barν$ decays with form factors from the lattice. While successful, the precision of this approach has been limited by heavy-quark discretization effects. An improved version of the Fermilab action, the Oktay-Kronfeld action, can be used to reduce heavy-quark discretization effects in calculations performed at the physical bottom and charm quark masses. Treating charm and bottom quarks as massive, we are carrying out improvement of the flavor-changing currents through third order in the momentum (HQET) expansion.

description: The prediction of reactivity pulse values in a TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) nuclear reactor plays a vital role in ensuring safe and efficient reactor operations. In this project, a neural network model is developed to accurately forecast the reactivity pulse values, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques. The project focuses on utilizing historical data related to reactor configurations, experimental conditions, and other relevant parameters collected from a TRIGA nuclear reactor located in Texas. This dataset serves as the foundation for training and evaluating the neural network model. The neural network architecture is designed, incorporating appropriate input layers, hidden layers with activation functions, and an output layer to predict the reactivity pulse values.

description: The anisotropy of angular distributions of emitted nucleons and light charged particles for the asymmetric reaction system, $^{40}$Ar+$^{197}$Au, at b=6fm and $E_{beam}$=35, 50 and 100MeV/u, are investigated by using the Improved Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. The competition between the symmetry potential and Coulomb potential shows large impacts on the nucleons and light charged particles emission in projectile and target region. As a result of this competition, the angular distribution anisotropy of coalescence invariant Y(n)/Y(p) ratio at forward regions shows sensitivity to the stiffness of symmetry energy as well as the value of Y(n)/Y(p). This observable can be further checked against experimental data to understand the reaction mechanism and to extract information about the symmetry energy at subsaturation densities.

description: Determining the complexity of the reachability problem for vector addition systems with states (VASS) is a long-standing open problem in computer science. Long known to be decidable, the problem to this day lacks any complexity upper bound whatsoever. In this paper, reachability for two-dimensional VASS is shown PSPACE-complete. This improves on a previously known doubly exponential time bound established by Howell, Rosier, Huynh and Yen in 1986. The coverability and boundedness problems are also noted to be PSPACE-complete. In addition, some complexity results are given for the reachability problem in two-dimensional VASS and in integer VASS when numbers are encoded in unary.

description: This paper makes the case for Resilient Overlay Networks
(RONs), an application-level routing and packet forwarding
service that gives end-hosts and applications the ability to
take advantage of network paths that traditional Internet routing
cannot make use of, thereby improving their end-to-end
reliability and performance. Using RON, nodes participating
in a distributed Internet application configure themselves
into an overlay network and cooperatively forward packets
for each other. Each RON node monitors the quality of the
links in the underlying Internet and propagates this information
to the other nodes; this enables a RON to detect and
react to path failures within several seconds rather than several
minutes, and allows it to select application-specific paths
based on performance.We argue that RON has the potential
to substantially improve the resilience of distributed Internet
applications to path outages and sustained overload.

description: 18% of people worldwide have no access to safe drinking water. Many household water purifiers have been documented to improve water quality and reduce diarrheal disease. One of these technologies is the LifeStraw, a low-cost, portable, point-of-use water purifier. The LifeStraw has been used worldwide to date, however, there is not yet conclusive research about the performance of the LifeStraws ability to improve drinking water or reduce diarrheal disease burden. The purpose of this research was three-fold: to examine the microbiological capability selected LifeStraw models, to assess their life span in regards to clogging, and to ensure that disinfectant concentrations present in the effluent were below target levels. LifeStraw models tested achieved reductions of bacteria above the target of 99.9999%. Evidence suggests only moderate reductions of viruses, 90-99%. Results from this research suggest that the LifeStraw may be an effective way to improve water quality and reduce diarrheal disease from waterborne, bacterial and viral pathogens.

description: We show that solutions to the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system on ${\mathbb S}^1$ with critical fractional diffusion $(-Δ)^\frac{1}{2}$ remain smooth for any initial data and any positive time. This disproves, at least in the periodic setting, the large-data-blowup conjecture by Bournaveas and Calvez. As a tool, we show smoothness of solutions to a modified critical Burgers equation via a generalization of the method of moduli of continuity by Kiselev, Nazarov and Shterenberg. over a setting where the considered equation has no scaling. This auxiliary result may be interesting by itself. Finally, we study the asymptotic behavior of global solutions, improving the existing results.

description: Emerging bacterial resistance is a growing concern worldwide that affects millions of people daily. Among the approaches being developed are the use of nanomaterials and different metal compositions to attend to this matter. To that end, we have functionalized mesoporous silica nanomaterials with three different kinds of surface organic groups to elucidate the effect of terminal groups (-NH2, -PO3, and -SH) on the loading of antimicrobial copper ions and the bactericidal effect of the synthesized nanomaterials. The nanomaterials were structurally characterized via nitrogen adsorption-desorption, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and elemental analysis. Based on their nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms, the surface area, pore size, and pore volume of the synthesized nanomaterials (namely, SBA-15, DAMO/SBA-15, Cu-DAMO/SBA-15, PO3/SBA-15, Cu-PO3/SBA-15, SH/SBA-15, and Cu-SH/SBA-15) are determined. Using XPS, the types of surface functional groups and antimicrobial agents present, such as -P-O- groups and Cu in PO3/SBA-15 and Cu-PO3/SBA-15 and -N-H groups and Cu in DAMO/SBA-15 and Cu-DAMO/SBA-15. This is further complemented by elemental analysis, which shows the presence of N, P, and S in the corresponding nanomaterials. The results also show that the oxidation state of copper is Cu2+ across all materials. The amount of the antimicrobial agent Cu loaded in the materials (i.e., Cu-DAMO/SBA-15, Cu-PO3/SBA-15, and Cu-SH/SBA-15) as well as its release profiles from the materials into solutions mimicking bacterial environment is also studied. Finally, the bactericidal activities of the nanomaterials are tested against gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative E. coli and their corresponding mutants that are incapable of effluxing copper ions from their cytoplasm. The results show that -SH-functionalized nanomaterial (Cu-SH/SBA-15) exhibits greater antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria compared to their -NH2- and -PO3-functionalized counterparts. The results shown can aid in the selection of functional groups for surfaces of nanomaterials that may be used as drug delivery vehicles for effective, broad-spectrum bacterial control.

description: We report on the computation of NLO QCD corrections to top-quark pair production in association with two photons at the LHC. Higher-order effects and photon bremsstrahlung are taken into account in the production and decays of the top-quark pair. Top-quark and $W$-boson decays are treated in the Narrow Width Approximation conserving spin correlations up to NLO in QCD. This is the first time that the complete set of NLO QCD corrections to the $pp \to t\bar{t}γγ$ process including top-quark decays is calculated. We present results at the integrated and differential cross-section level in the di-lepton and lepton $+$ jet channel. In addition, we investigate the effect of photon bremsstrahlung in $t\bar{t}$ production and top-quark decays, as well as the mixed contribution. The latter contribution, in which two photons occur simultaneously in the production and decay of the $t\bar{t}$ pair, proved to be significant at both the integrated and differential cross-section level.

description: The nature of the phase separation in KxFe2-ySe2 single crystals is not well understood. Here, temperature dependent SEM images provide compelling evidence that phase separation corresponds to a nucleation and growth process rather than a spinodal decomposition. The superconducting phase is the remnant of high temperature phase after iron vacancy order-disorder transition. Three-dimension (3D) spatial distribution of superconducting phase in the iron vacancy ordered matrix was revealed by using focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM). Our results clearly show that superconducting phase forms a hierarchical structure. Understanding the formation of this hierarchical structure not only can guide the synthesis of bulk superconductors in the future, but also greatly enrich our knowledge about the interplay between phase separation and solid-state phase transformations.

description: Raloxifene HCl (RLX), a practically insoluble drug used in the treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women; was modified at its molecular level to enhance its solubility using co-amorphous technology. In this study, RLX was co-amorphized with Quercetin (QCT; a nutraceutical flavonoid) using solvent evaporation (SE), quench cooling (QC), and ball milling (BM) techniques. The prepared co-amorphous systems (CAMs) were characterized using XRD, DSC, and FT-IR. For the simultaneous analysis of RLX and QCT, an RP-HPLC method was developed to quantify the drugs in the prepared systems. Behavior in aqueous media was investigated by studying amorphous and equilibrium solubility, and drug release of RLX using USP phosphate buffer pH 6.8. Solvent evaporation (RQ(SE)) was able to produce a homogeneous system, where quench cooling showed thermal degradation of the drug, and ball milling was not able to amorphize the blend. From the DSC results, it was found that RQ(SE) was able to increase the glass transition temperature by 40 °C. It was observed that the solubility of RLX reduced, as RLX formed phosphate aggregates in the buffer media which further formed complexes with QCT; this was determined by investigating the residual particles from solubility studies. Though the solubility was reduced, drug release of RQ(SE) exhibited improvement in concentration by 2.3 times. RQ(SE) formed a stable CAM; though the solubility of RLX in presence of QCT reduced, from the drug release study, it was apparent that the co-amorphous technique improved the concentration of RLX.

description: Given two strings $A[1..n]$ and $B[1..m]$, and a set of operations allowed to edit the strings, the edit distance between $A$ and $B$ is the minimum number of operations required to transform $A$ into $B$. Sequentially, a standard Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm solves edit distance with $Θ(nm)$ cost. In many real-world applications, the strings to be compared are similar and have small edit distances. To achieve highly practical implementations, we focus on output-sensitive parallel edit-distance algorithms, i.e., to achieve asymptotically better cost bounds than the standard $Θ(nm)$ algorithm when the edit distance is small. We study four algorithms in the paper, including three algorithms based on Breadth-First Search (BFS) and one algorithm based on Divide-and-Conquer (DaC). Our BFS-based solution is based on the Landau-Vishkin algorithm. We implement three different data structures for the longest common prefix (LCP) queries needed in the algorithm: the classic solution using parallel suffix array, and two hash-based solutions proposed in this paper. Our DaC-based solution is inspired by the output-insensitive solution proposed by Apostolico et al., and we propose a non-trivial adaption to make it output-sensitive. All our algorithms have good theoretical guarantees, and they achieve different tradeoffs between work (total number of operations), span (longest dependence chain in the computation), and space. We test and compare our algorithms on both synthetic data and real-world data. Our BFS-based algorithms outperform the existing parallel edit-distance implementation in ParlayLib in all test cases. By comparing our algorithms, we also provide a better understanding of the choice of algorithms for different input patterns. We believe that our paper is the first systematic study in the theory and practice of parallel edit distance.

description: Online radicalisation is often linked to discourses on social media. In this context, the question arises how populist online discourses radicalise in social media platforms. With a quantitative content analysis of supporters of the German party "Alternative für Deutschland (AfD)" and their contributions on Facebook between March 2014 and May 2017, this preliminary analysis illustrates how the discourse shifts from a dominantly neutral debate to insult-driven and discriminatory contributions. It provides insights into the dynamic of political social media discourses and shows a tendency of correlating language style and topics that can be further studied in Social Media Analytics.

Examining Leverage in Civil War Mediation: A Dynamic Theory of Mediator Leverage
Creators: name: Reid, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: How does leverage vary across different mediator types and what influence does this have on mediation outcomes? Extant literature has glossed over the meaning of leverage, treating it as a static measure of material power. I argue that leverage is a dynamic concept comprised of two dimensions: capability and credibility. Capability leverage is a function of economic and military might while credibility leverage derives its influence from material, historical, religious, and cultural ties. I hypothesize that mediators with capability leverage will be more likely to achieve short-term success in the form of a negotiated settlement while mediators with credibility leverage will be more likely to achieve a more durable peace. I test my hypotheses using the universe of civil war mediation attempts from 1989-2006. My results suggest that capability leverage does indeed contribute to the achievement of a settlement while credibility leverage leads to more durable outcomes.
