Effects of Aging on Associative Memory for Texts
Creators: name: Adila Islam

description: Associative memory involves the ability to make meaningful connections between individual units of information and to remember this more complex, larger unit of bound information. Prior research has found that as meaningful connections are harder to make, associative memory for this information suffers. Additionally, associative memory is weaker for older adults than for younger adults due to aging-related cognitive declines. However, the effects of encoding difficulty and aging on associative memory for information presented in sentences is less studied. Thus, with our current study, we tested associative memory in 65 older and 86 younger adults for information presented in sentences varying in encoding difficulty. We expected to find an interaction between sentence type and age on recall and encoding time such that older adults would not differ with younger adults for common sentences, but would do significantly worse on cued recall and have longer encoding times than younger adults for bizarre stimuli. This expectation was based on the findings in prior research that older adults show relatively little decline in memory for text but show significant decline in their ability to make and recall associations between unrelated stimuli. Our results showed no interaction of age and sentence type on recall or encoding time, but did show main effects of age and sentence type on each. The findings of this study demonstrate an age-related difference between older and younger adults for encoding time and recall for sentences, and indicates a significant effect of encoding difficulty on overall encoding time and recall.

description: The application of data and statistics to judicial decision-making has caused controversy and debate in Australia. As technologies improve and become more accessible, it is inevitable that the application of data and statistics to examine judicial decision-making will increase. This proliferation of the use of data and statistics presents new risks and challenges to judicial impartiality and public confidence. It also, equally presents new opportunities for the courts to use data and statistics in innovative ways to improve judicial decision-making, case management and court processes. This thesis represents the first attempt in Australia in providing the Commonwealth courts and judges with a systematic guiding framework enabling them to collect, use and engage with data and statistics in a manner which mitigates those risks and challenges and maximises data and statistics’ potential. The thesis also responds to and seeks to assist the Commonwealth courts in implementing the recent Australian Law Reform Commission’s recommendation that the Commonwealth courts should develop a policy on the creation, development and use of data and statistics on judicial decision-making. There is a real opportunity for the Commonwealth Courts to become leaders in shaping the norms of the way in which data is collected and used to examine judicial decision-making more broadly.

description: Time reversal (T) invariant topological insulator is widely recognized as one of the fundamental discoveries in condensed matter physics, for which the most fascinating hallmark is perhaps a spin based topological protection, the total cancellation of scattering of conduction electrons with certain spins on matter surface. Recently, it has created a paradigm shift for topological insulators, from electronics to photonics, phononics as well as mechanics, bringing about not only involved new physics but also potential applications in robust wave transport. Despite the growing interests in realizing topologically protected acoustic wave transport, T-invariant acoustic topological insulator has not yet been achieved. Here, we report the first demonstration of acoustic topological insulator: a strongly coupled metamaterial ring lattice that supports one-way propagation of helical edge states under T-symmetry, backscattering immune to boundary abrupt variations. The very unique thing is the formation of spin-filtered interface states due to lattice dislocations. The mechanism underlying the formation of topologically protected edge states and interface states is applicable in various other wave systems or higher dimensions.

Exploring the Drivers of Cortical Rotation in C. elegans
Creators: name: Zaatri, Adhham
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Asymmetric divisions are paramount in determining the body plan of a developing organism; for example, in the C. elegans embryo, an asymmetric division is needed to set up the L-R axis. Cortical rotation in the dividing C. elegans zygote is necessary for this asymmetric division. However, its molecular drivers remain uncharacterized. We use genetically perturbed C. elegans zygotes to explore proteins driving cortical rotation. Cortical actin dynamics are hypothesized to provide the mechanical force for rotation: septins are known to affect actin dynamics and to anchor other proteins to the cortex. This includes Formin proteins, such as cyk-1, which nucleate actin. Using particle image velocimetry (PIV) to analyze the cortex of dividing cells, we show that genetic perturbation of septins or cyk-1 results in irregular rotation phenotypes. Cells may rotate in a periodic manner, more slowly than wild-type cells, briefly rotate in reverse,  or fail to rotate. Furthermore, we show that cyk-1 loses its posterior enrichment when septins are depleted with RNAi, as well as its posterior-rapid localization to the cortex. We conclude that septins and cyk-1 play a role in driving cortical rotation, and that septins help localize cyk-1 to the zygote’s posterior end. Our results elucidate how these proteins individually affect rotation, as well as potential interactions in this pathway, which has seldom been explored.

description: It is a classical fact that the irrationality of a number $ξ\in\mathbb R$ follows from the existence of a sequence $p_n/q_n$ with integral $p_n$ and $q_n$ such that $q_nξ-p_n\ne0$ for all $n$ and $q_nξ-p_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$. In this note we give an extension of this criterion in the case when the sequence possesses an additional structure; in particular, the requirement $q_nξ-p_n\to0$ is weakened. Some applications are given including a new proof of the irrationality of $π$. Finally, we discuss analytical obstructions to extend the new irrationality criterion further and speculate about some mathematical constants whose irrationality is still to be established.

description: Seit 2005 ist eine Frau Bundeskanzlerin der Bundesrepublik Deutschland; seit 2013 amtiert eine Frau sogar als Bundesverteidigungsministerin. Darüber hinaus sind aktuell vier von insgesamt 16 Ministerpräsidenten/-innen Frauen. Ist das ein zufälliges Zusammentreffen bei der Besetzung höchster Staatsämter oder das Produkt einer längeren gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung? Antwort auf diese Fragestellung können einige statistische Erhebungen geben:1955 betrug der prozentuale Anteil aller Schulabgänger mit allgemeiner Hochschulreife (Abitur) 6,1 Prozent. Abiturientinnen waren davon nur 28,6 Prozent. Der Anteil der Frauen mit Abitur zog seit dem Jahre 2002 mit den Männern gleich. 2012/2013 waren in Deutschland 53 Prozent der Schüler, die ein Gymnasium mit einem Zeugnis der Hochschulreife verließen, weiblich (vgl. Statistisches Bundesamt 2014).Nicht nur diese Zahlen der Gymnasialabschlüsse haben sich in den letzten ca. 60 Jahren rasant verändert und entwickelt: Waren es 1925 2.572 erwerbstätige Ärztinnen und 55 Juristinnen (vgl. Stiefel/Mecklenburg 1991: 75), sind es im Jahr 2012 206.559 Ärztinnen (vgl. Bundesärztekammer 2013) und 7.848 berufstätige Richterinnen bzw. 49.872 Anwältinnen (vgl. Schultz 2012: 3).Man kann also durchaus von einem gesellschaftlichen Umbruch sprechen, der sowohl die Familienstrukturen als auch die Arbeitswelt grundlegend verändert hat. Dabei sollen in der vorliegenden Arbeit jedoch nicht die Gründe der aufgezeigten Entwicklung erforscht werden; vielmehr soll die Ist-Situation Anfang des zweiten Jahrtausends dargestellt und die Frage untersucht werden, wie die staatlichen Organisationen und Institutionen, die Erwerbs-organisation und insbesondere wie die betroffenen Paare hiermit umgehen und zurechtkommen.

CHARACTERIZING SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM'S EVASION OF INNATE IMMUNITY
Creators: name: Lakhani, Farhan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Inflammasomes play an important role in defense against infection. The NOD-like Receptors CARD Domain Containing 4 (NLRC4) inflammasome detects the Type Three Secretion System (T3SS) system rod and needle proteins, leading to caspase-1 activation. Active caspase-1 induces pro-interleukin-1β (pro-IL-1β) and pro-IL-18 maturation and pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death. Pyroptosis clears infected cells by exposing the mature cytokines, drawing the attention of neutrophils which phagocytose the dead, infected cells. Salmonella Typhimurium uses two distinct T3SS, namely Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 1 (SPI-1) and SPI-2, to infect macrophages. Prior in vitro data suggests that NLRC4 detects rod and needle proteins composing the T3SS in SPI-1, however it is unclear if SPI-2 rod and needle proteins are detected as well. Because of the similarity across pathogenicity islands, we hypothesized that the rod and needle proteins that form the T3SS in SPI-2 are also detected by NLRC4. We show that the SPI-2 needle protein, SsaG, is detected by NLRC4 in vitro while the SPI-2 rod protein, SsaI, evades detection in vitro. This is demonstrated via a retrovirus lethality assay and a dose-dependent relationship through protein transfections followed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) and western blot. Although our data strongly suggests the SPI-2 needle protein is detected in vitro, it remains unclear why Salmonella Typhimurium phenotypically evades inflammasome detection in vivo while simultaneously expressing the detectable SsaG.

description: In this article, we investigate both forward and backward problems for coupled systems of time-fractional diffusion equations, encompassing scenarios of strong coupling. For the forward problem, we establish the well-posedness of the system, leveraging the eigensystem of the corresponding elliptic system as the foundation. When considering the backward problem, specifically the determination of initial values through final time observations, we demonstrate a Lipschitz stability estimate, which is consistent with the stability observed in the case of a single equation. To numerically address this backward problem, we refer to the explicit formulation of Tikhonov regularization to devise a multi-channel neural network architecture. This innovative architecture offers a versatile approach, exhibiting its efficacy in multidimensional settings through numerical examples and its robustness in handling initial values that have not been trained.

description: Starting from a microscopic model, we investigate the optical spectra of molecules in strongly-coupled organic microcavities examining how they might self-consistently adapt their coupling to light. We consider both rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom, focusing on features which can be seen in the peak in the center of the spectrum at the bare excitonic frequency. In both cases we find that the matter-light coupling can lead to a self-consistent change of the molecular states, with consequent temperature-dependent signatures in the absorption spectrum. However, for typical parameters, these effects are much too weak to explain recent measurements. We show that another mechanism which naturally arises from our model of vibrationally dressed polaritons has the right magnitude and temperature dependence to be at the origin of the observed data.

Examining the potential protective effects of emotion attribution accuracy on the relationship between ADHD symptoms and children’s social competence

description: Symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can negatively affect children’s peer social competence, which is often influenced by various emotional factors.
Emotion attribution accuracy, or the ability to effectively appraise the emotional state of others, may be a distinct factor that moderates the relationship between ADHD symptoms and social competence in children. Through a secondary analysis, this study aims to examine the moderating effects of emotion attribution accuracy on the relationship between children’s ADHD symptoms and teacher reported and observed social competence. A sample of 138 teacher-nominated students who met criteria for an intervention to support self-regulation skills, took part in the larger study which sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the Incredible Years © child group treatment program within schools. Baseline analyses revealed that emotion attribution accuracy moderated the relationship between ADHD symptoms and teacher reported social competence, such that higher levels of emotion attribution accuracy were associated with higher levels of teacher reported social competence despite high levels of ADHD symptoms. This finding indicates that emotion attribution accuracy may be a protective factor for children’s social competence in children with ADHD symptoms. Further investigation is needed to explore the protective effect over time. Implications for assessments of children’s socioemotional skills and interventions for children with ADHD symptoms will be discussed.

description: We investigated the evolution of the temperature-composition phase diagram of Fe$_{1+y}$Te upon Se substitution. In particular, the effect of Se substitution on the two-step, coupled magneto-structural transition in Fe$_{1+y}$Te single crystals is investigated. To this end, the nominal Fe excess was kept at $y$ = 0.12. For low Se concentrations, the two magneto-structural transitions displayed a tendency to merge. In spite of the high Fe-content, superconductivity emerges for Se concentrations, $x \geq$ 0.1. We present a temperature-composition phase diagram to demonstrate the interplay of structure, magnetism, and superconductivity in these ternary Fe chalcogenides.

description: Altermagnet is an exotic class of magnetic materials wherein the Fermi surface exhibits a momentum-dependent spin-splitting while maintaining a net zero magnetization. Previous studies have shown that this distinctive spin-splitting can induce chiral p-wave superconductors or Fulde-Ferrell (FF) superconducting states carrying finite momentum. However, the underlying mechanisms of such unconventional superconductivities remain elusive. Here, we propose that the formation of the Bogoliubov Fermi surface (BFS) through the exchange field can play a significant role in such phenomena. Through a systematic self-consistent mean-field analysis on the extended attractive Hubbard model combined with the d-wave spin-splitting induced by the exchange field, as observed in RuO2, we demonstrate that the formation of the BFS suppresses conventional spin-singlet superconducting states with s-wave characteristics. In contrast, the chiral p-wave state maintains a fully gapped spectrum without the Fermi surface, thereby becoming the ground state in the strong field regime. In the intermediate regime, we find that the FF state becomes the predominant state through the optimization of available channels for Cooper pairing. Moreover, we illustrate how the prevalence of the chiral p-wave and FF states over the s-wave state changes under the variation of the field strength or chemical potential. Our findings provide valuable insights into potential pathways for realizing sought-after topological p-wave superconductivity and finite momentum pairing facilitated by altermagnetism.

Establishing a Contextual Fear Conditioning Paradigm for the Tat Transgenic Mouse Model
Creators: name: Proca, Alexandra M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: HIV-1 Tat is a viral protein produced by HIV that causes structural changes to neurons and inflammation. Tat is implicated in deficits in the functions of several brain areas including hippocampal-dependent memory. Contextual fear condition (CFC) can be used to observe memory by associating a fear-inducing stimulus with a certain place. Studies show that lesioning the hippocampus reduces contextual fear related behaviors, supporting the use of CFC as a measure of hippocampal function. In the current study, three experiments were run to determine the most effective conditioning procedure for the Tat transgenic mouse, a neuroHIV model. A 2x2, 0.4 mA arrangement was found to produce the least variability between subjects. However, the multiple-trial conditioning in this procedure may provide extensive learning, essentially rescuing neurologically compromised subjects. This further raises concerns about the validity of comparisons between the effectiveness of contextual versus cued fear conditioning. Future studies should assess hippocampal neurodegeneration associated with predicted behavioral deficits through quantification of structural proteins, such as MAP2ab, IBA-1, and GFAP.

description: Artificial quasicrystals are nowadays routinely manufactured, yet only two naturally occurring examples are known. We present a class of systems with the potential to be realized both artificially and in nature, in which the lowest energy state is a one-dimensional quasicrystal. These systems are based on incommensurately charge-ordered materials, in which the quasicrystalline phase competes with the formation of a regular array of discommensurations as a way of interpolating between incommensurate charge order at high temperatures and commensurate order at low temperatures. The nonlocal correlations characteristic of the quasicrystalline state emerge from a free-energy contribution localized in reciprocal space. We present a theoretical phase diagram showing that the required material properties for the appearance of such a ground state allow for one-dimensional quasicrystals to form in real materials. The result is a potentially wide class of one-dimensional quasicrystals.

The Impact of Inequality on Perceived Need
Creators: name: Fogarty, Abby
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Economic inequality continues to reach historic highs globally, and the U.S. currently ranks as the most unequal among industrialized nations. Links between high economic inequality and negative outcomes such as low life satisfaction are well documented, but much less is understood about the mechanism by which they occur. In this study, 408 adults participated in a word de-coding game and were randomly assigned to one of four conditions manipulating inequality and scarcity using points awarded in the game. Results of 2x2 ANOVAs showed that when inequality was high, participants felt they needed more points and were less satisfied with their game experience. There was also evidence that participants felt they had fewer points when inequality was high, indicating that there may be multiple pathways through which inequality contributes to negative outcomes. Taken together with prior research, these findings suggest that in societies with high economic inequality, upward comparisons may cause individuals to feel like they need more and are poorer than individuals with the same wealth in a more equal society.

Heart rate variability for training readiness assessment
Creators: name: Fonseca Renato
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The strive to achieve new best performances is an intrinsic characteristic of humans. While training hard to succeed in sport can be seen as an admirable trait, too much sport without adequate recovery can be detrimental to the desired progress and lead potentially to fatigue and injury. The body embarks into a state of overtraining, where it has no chance of convalesce from intense and repetitive training. With the advent and propagation of wearables the collection of physiological data turned into a large-scale process. In almost every device heart rate variability (HRV) is gathered along other metrics. Changes at HRV may indicate an overtraining state. HRV combined with other parameters can be utilized as a basis for the use of machine learning techniques in order to detect patterns and predict training readiness.

The Effect of Blue-Light-Blocking Amber Glasses on Sleep & Affect
Creators: name: Wilson, Lizzie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Sleep disturbance and mood dysregulation are widely-experienced and costly concerns, even at the sub-clinical level. Sleep disturbance and mood dysregulation are mechanistically and diagnostically linked through circadian rhythms. Blue light has strong influence on entraining circadian rhythms, and controlling blue light has become a target of many interventions aiming to improve sleep and mood. The use of amber lenses, which selectively block blue wavelengths of light, are one such intervention. Past studies have found that amber glasses can be a helpful adjunct treatment for some severe mental illness (e.g., bipolar disorder), but research has been inconclusive about how amber glasses affect people with sub-clinical sleep and mood concerns. Using a randomized crossover design with a wide variety of objective and self-report measures, the present study examined the effect of blue-blocking amber glasses on sleep quality, latency, efficiency, and duration, as well as positive and negative affect in 15 participants over a 14-day period. Overall, our results did not support our hypothesis that amber glasses would increase sleep quality, duration, and efficiency, and decrease sleep latency, although minor but non- significant positive changes were observed on some sleep outcome variables. Our results did, however, provide strong preliminary evidence that amber glasses enhance positive mood at night, and some evidence that amber glasses decrease negative mood in the morning. This study was limited by a small sample size, large interpersonal variation, and some participant noncompliance. Future studies should work to address these limitations, as well as solve extant methodological and analytical problems surrounding objective measures of sleep.

Synchrotron Self-Compton Emission from the Crab and Other Pulsars

description: Results of a simulation of synchrotron-self Compton (SSC) emission from a rotation-powered pulsar are presented. The radiating particles are assumed to be both accelerated primary electrons and a spectrum of electron-positron pairs produced in cascades near the polar cap. They follow trajectories in a slot gap using 3D force-free magnetic field geometry, gaining pitch angles through resonant cyclotron absorption of radio photons, radiating and scattering synchrotron emission at high altitudes out to and beyond the light cylinder. Full angular dependence of the synchrotron photon density is simulated in the scattering and all processes are treated in the inertial observer frame. Spectra for the Crab and Vela pulsars as well as two energetic millisecond pulsars, B1821-24 and B1937+21 are simulated using this model. The simulation of the Crab pulsar radiation can reproduce both the flux level and the shape of the observed optical to hard X-ray emission assuming a pair multiplicity of $M_+ = 3 \times 10^5$, as well as the very-high-energy emission above 50 GeV detected by MAGIC and VERITAS, with both the synchrotron and SSC components reflecting the shape of the pair spectrum. Simulations of Vela, B1821$-$24 and B1937+21, for $M_+$ up to $10^5$, do not produce pair SSC emission that is detectable by current telescopes, indicating that only Crab-like pulsars produce significant SSC components. The pair synchrotron emission matches the observed X-ray spectrum of the millisecond pulsars and the predicted peak of this emission at 1 - 10 MeV would be detectable with planned Compton telescopes.

description: Touring installations, massive concerts, and public art pieces have pushed the field of multi-media spectacle into public awareness, but what processes go into creating these works? The purpose of this thesis is to research and deconstruct the design process of multi-media spectacle events, examining both how and what creates spectacle. In order to better understand this process I examined events with a significant media component and identified elements which I identified as creating spectacle. I then conducted interviews with designers, directors, and other producers of multimedia spectacle to better understand their design processes and philosophies. Based on this research I defined specific elements which can be incorporated into the design process when creating spectacle and applied this research by designing media for three different case studies in which spectacle was a specific goal.
