description: With the emergence of nationalism in the 19th century came regionalist movements to assert and claim cultural particularities. Corsica fitted in very well with this dynamic and even presented itself as a favourable location for the development of such ideas. The centralisation of the State around a strong capital and the policies of assimilation of the indigenous populations on the border with France led certain players to defend these particularisms. It was in this context that the Corsican autonomist newspaper A Muvra was born in May 1920 in Paris, under the impetus of Petru and Matteu Rocca. For almost 19 years, hundreds of authors participated in the writing of this massive dialectal work. The aim of this dissertation is to carry out author profiling, i.e. to determine the style and subjects covered by an author. To do this, we carry out authorship attribution stylometry on texts using pseudonyms before completing these analyses with topic modelling, indexing of latent topics in a corpus of texts. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the complex sociology behind this rich and varied newspaper, through the use of computational methods.

The distribution of poles is studied as we proceed along the duality tree, in light of the weak and strong graph versions of the Riemann Hypothesis. As a by-product, we find a refined version of Ihara zeta function to be the generating function for the generic superpotential of the gauge theory.

description: We derive a non-Markovian master equation for the evolution of a class of open quantum systems consisting of quadratic fermionic models coupled to wide-band reservoirs. This is done by providing an explicit correspondence between master equations and non-equilibrium Green's functions approaches. Our findings permit to study non-Markovian regimes characterized by negative decoherence rates. We study the real-time dynamics and the steady-state solution of two illustrative models: a tight-binding and an XY-spin chains. The rich set of phases encountered for the non-equilibrium XY model extends previous studies to the non-Markovian regime.

description: The social and community context a child grows up in greatly influences their health over the course of their life. Healthy mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) development is essential for building resistance to stress during childhood and throughout the lifespan. However, without proper nutrition and access to healthy foods, healthy MEB development cannot occur and poor mental health outcomes result. According to the 2019 Durham County Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), 32% of middle school students and 35% of high school students reported feeling depressed in the past year (Davis, 2019). This proposal aims to improve mental health among Black and Latino youth in Durham County through free school lunches (FSL) at all Durham Public Schools.  Schools that are eligible for and willing to apply for the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) will be incentivized to do so, while additional funding will be secured to implement FSL at schools that do not receive CEP. Behavioral outcomes associated with free meal programs include reduction in hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, and a reduced surge in disciplinary infractions (Hanks, n.d.).

description: In several papers, John Norton has argued that Bayesianism cannot handle ignorance adequately due to its inability to distinguish between neutral and disconfirming evidence. He argued that this inability sows confusion in, e.g., anthropic reasoning in cosmology or the Doomsday argument, by allowing one to draw unwarranted conclusions from a lack of knowledge. Norton has suggested criteria for a candidate for representation of neutral support. Imprecise credences (families of credal probability functions) constitute a Bayesian-friendly framework that allows us to avoid inadequate neutral priors and better handle ignorance. The imprecise model generally agrees with Norton's representation of ignorance but requires that his criterion of self-duality be reformulated or abandoned.

Creating a Zoning Atlas for Raleigh and Cary, NC: Addressing Exclusionary Zoning and Equity
Creators: name: Richey, Duncan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: This paper examines the extent to which zoning reform can be used to promote more equitable and inclusive communities by discussing exclusionary zoning, its impact on equity, and the National Zoning Atlas. Additionally, this paper discusses the need for broader policies and programs to address the underlying causes of housing access inequality, as well as the potential risks of zoning reform. Finally, this paper draws on my own work in creating a zoning atlas for two North Carolina cities as an example of how zoning data can be used to promote equitable zoning. The zoning atlas lives online as an interactive map of Raleigh and Cary.

description: An attempt is made to simulate the disclosure of underground soldiers in terms of theory of networks. The coupling mechanism between the network nodes is the possibility that a disclosed soldier is going to disclose also his acquaintances. We calculate the fraction of disclosed soldiers as dependent on the fraction of those who, once disclosed, reveal also their colleagues. The simulation is immersed in the historical context of the Polish Home Army under the communist rule in 1946-49.

description: We consider a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) where the integrated continuous-time Markov chain can be observed at discrete time points perturbed by a Brownian motion. The aim is to derive a filter for the underlying continuous-time Markov chain. The recursion formula for the discrete-time filter is easy to derive, however involves densities which are very hard to obtain. In this paper we derive exact formulas for the necessary densities in the case the state space of the HMM consists of two elements only. This is done by relating the underlying integrated continuous-time Markov chain to the so-called asymmetric telegraph process and by using recent results on this process. In case the state space consists of more than two elements we present three different ways to approximate the densities for the filter. The first approach is based on the continuous filter problem. The second approach is to derive a PDE for the densities and solve it numerically and the third approach is a crude discrete time approximation of the Markov chain. All three approaches are compared in a numerical study.

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: The need of exchanging messages and images secretly over unsecure networks promoted the creation of cryptosystems to enable receivers to interpret the exchanged information. In this paper, a particular public key cryptosystem called the ElGamal Cryptosystem is presented considered with the help MATLAB Program to be used over Images. Since the ElGamal cryptosystem over a primitive root of a large prime is used in messages encryption in the free GNU Privacy Guard software, recent versions of PGP, and other cryptosystems. This paper shows a modification of the this cryptosystem by applying it over gray and color images. That would be by transforming an image into its corresponding matrix using MATLAB Program, then applying the encryption and decryption algorithms over it. Actually, this modification gives one of the best image encryptions that have been used since the encryption procedure over any image goes smoothly and transfers the original image to completely undefined image which makes this cryptosystem is really secure and successful over image encryption. As well as, the decryption procedure of the encrypted image works very well since it transfers undefined image to its original. Therefore, this new modification can make the cryptosystem of images more immune against some future attacks since breaking this cryptosystem depends on solving the discrete logarithm problem which is really impossible with large prime numbers .

description: This thesis proposed a method to build 3D geological models of igneous intrusions using our current understanding of intrusion systems. Geological models allow the subsurface’s geology to be evaluated, and they are used for a wide range of applications, from research investigation to management of natural resources. The method proposed in this work is applied to investigate the geology of two intrusions systems: the Jurassic dolerite in the Hobart region and Mesozoic plutonic complexes in northern Chile. The results of both applications allowed us to understand better the emplacement processes that led to the formation of both intrusions systems.

description: We present a quantitative analysis of chiral symmetry breaking in two-flavour continuum QCD in the quenched limit. The theory is set-up at perturbative momenta, where asymptotic freedom leads to precise results. The evolution of QCD towards the hadronic phase is achieved by means of dynamical hadronisation in the non-perturbative functional renormalisation group approach. We use a vertex expansion scheme based on gauge-invariant operators and discuss its convergence properties and the remaining systematic errors. In particular we present results for the quark propagator, the full tensor structure and momentum dependence of the quark-gluon vertex, and the four-fermi scatterings.

Variable Risk, Evolving Standards, and Unsafe Housing: The Status of Environmental Investigation Protocols for Lead Poisoned Children in Fifteen States
Creators: name: April, Jordan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Childhood exposure to lead remains a significant problem in the United States. Where the federal government can provide guidance and regulations for the purpose of lead poisoning prevention, states and local governments are responsible for complying with standards and implementing lead poisoning prevention programs. Key federal guidance has evolved slowly over time, often in the form of hazard standards and the blood lead reference value. States tend to adopt outdated guidance that has limited efficacy. Environmental investigations are a powerful response to lead poisoned children, but the last study to identify state standards was published in 1999. This descriptive study reviews applicable protocols and regulations in fifteen states. Although states tend to adhere to federal hazard standards, there are significant variations in environmental investigation extent and eligibility, protocols, and legal standards.

description: We consider the non-unitary Lee-Yang minimal model ${\cal M}(2,5)$ in three different finite geometries: (i) on the interval with integrable boundary conditions labelled by the Kac labels $(r,s)=(1,1),(1,2)$, (ii) on the circle with periodic boundary conditions and (iii) on the periodic circle including an integrable purely transmitting defect. We apply $φ_{1,3}$ integrable perturbations on the boundary and on the defect and describe the flow of the spectrum. Adding a $Φ_{1,3}$ integrable perturbation to move off-criticality in the bulk, we determine the finite size spectrum of the massive scattering theory in the three geometries via Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz (TBA) equations. We derive these integral equations for all excitations by solving, in the continuum scaling limit, the TBA functional equations satisfied by the transfer matrices of the associated $A_{4}$ RSOS lattice model of Forrester and Baxter in Regime III. The excitations are classified in terms of $(m,n)$ systems. The excited state TBA equations agree with the previously conjectured equations in the boundary and periodic cases. In the defect case, new TBA equations confirm previously conjectured transmission factors.

description: Parental supply of alcohol to minors (i.e. those under the legal drinking age) is often perceived by parents as protective against harms from drinking, despite evidence linking it with adverse alcohol-related outcomes. This systematic review describes the prevalence of parental supply of alcohol, as reported in the international literature. The review was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020218754). We searched seven online databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and Public Health Database) and grey literature from January 2011 to December 2022 and assessed the risk of bias with the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist. Among 58 articles included in narrative synthesis from 29 unique datasets, there was substantial variation in the definition and measurement of parental supply of alcohol. Overall prevalence rates ranged from 7.0 to 60.0% for minor-report samples, and from 24.0 to 8.0% for parent-report samples. Data indicate that parental supply prevalence is generally proportionately higher for older minors or later-stage students, for girls, and has increased over time among minors who report drinking. Literature on the prevalence of parental supply of alcohol is robust in quantity but inconsistent in quality and reported prevalence. Greater consistency in defining and measuring parental supply is needed to better inform health promotion initiatives aimed at increasing parents' awareness.

description: A generalization of the random geometric graph (RGG) model is proposed by considering a set of points uniformly and independently distributed on a rectangle of unit area instead of on a unit square [0,1]^2. The topological properties of the random rectangular graphs (RRGs) generated by this model are then studied as a function of the rectangle sides lengths a and b=1/a, and the radius r used to connect the nodes. When a=1 we recover the RGG, and when a-->infinity the very elongated rectangle generated resembles a one-dimensional RGG. We obtain here analytical expressions for the average degree, degree distribution, connectivity, average path length and clustering coefficient for RRG. These results provide evidence that show that most of these properties depend on the connection radius and the side length of the rectangle, usually in a monotonic way. The clustering coefficient, however, increases when the square is transformed into a slightly elongated rectangle, and after this maximum it decays with the increase of the elongation of the rectangle. We support all our findings by computational simulations that show the goodness of the theoretical models proposed for RRGs.

description: Many suburban municipalities are grappling with poor land use decisions made in previous decades. Sprawling single family neighborhoods, strip malls with oversized and uninviting parking lots, and poor quality public spaces contributed to economic, environmental, and social problems that continue to plague the suburbs to this day. Montgomery County, Maryland, located right outside of Washington, DC, has seen numerous successful infill development projects that have contributed to its evolution from a bedroom community to a vibrant and attractive jurisdiction to live and work. This report examines the process and outcome of Pike & Rose in North Bethesda, an innovative and highly successful infill development project.

description: Historically, there has been little interaction between parasitologists and oncologists, although some helminth infections predispose to the development of tumours. In addition, both parasites and tumours need to survive immune attack. Recent research suggests that both tumours and parasites suppress the immune response to increase their chances of survival. They both co-opt the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signalling pathway to modulate the immune response to their benefit. In particular, there is concern that suppression of the immune response by nematodes and their products could enhance susceptibility to tumours in both natural and artificial infections.

description: Education access and quality is a social determinant of health that impacts individuals' health outcomes, as 
those with higher education often live longer, healthier lives (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 
2023). Physical and mental health can impact an individual's ability to attend and engage in classes, therefore impacting their academic performance. In Durham County, North Carolina 35% of high school students reported feelings of depression and 28% of high school students described themselves as overweight in 2019 (Naney, 2019; Obesity, Diabetes, and Food Access, 2022). We hope to increase equity while addressing mental health and nutritional well-being for all students at Durham County public high schools by providing greater opportunities and resources with school-based telehealth therapy and the Let’s Eat Healthy Nutrition curriculum that can boost their overall health and education.

A Simple Physical Model for the Gas Distribution in Galaxy Clusters

description: The dominant baryonic component of galaxy clusters is hot gas whose distribution is commonly probed through X-ray emission arising from thermal bremsstrahlung. The density profile thus obtained has been traditionally modeled with a beta-profile, a simple function with only three parameters. However, this model is known to be insufficient for characterizing the range of cluster gas distributions, and attempts to rectify this shortcoming typically introduce additional parameters to increase the fitting flexibility. We use cosmological and physical considerations to obtain a family of profiles for the gas with fewer parameters than the beta-model but which better accounts for observed gas profiles over wide radial intervals.

description: More than 30 years ago, Arnowitt-Chamseddine-Nath (ACN) and others established the compelling framework of supergravity gauge theories (SUGRA) as a picture for the next step in beyond the Standard Model physics. We review the current SUGRA scenario in light of recent data from LHC8 collider searches and the Higgs boson discovery. While many SUSY and non-SUSY scenarios are highly disfavored or even excluded by LHC, the essential SUGRA scenario remains intact and as compelling as ever. For naturalness, some non-universality between matter and Higgs sector soft terms is required along with substantial trilinear soft terms. SUSY models with radiatively-driven naturalness (RNS) are found with high scale fine-tuning at a modest ~10%. In this case, natural SUSY might be discovered at LHC13 but could also easily elude sparticle search endeavors. A linear e^+e^- collider with \sqrt{s}>2m(higgsino) is needed to provide the definitive search for the required light higgsino states which are the hallmark of natural SUSY. In the most conservative scenario, we advocate inclusion of a Peccei-Quinn sector so that dark matter is composed of a WIMP/axion admixture i.e. two dark matter particles.

description: Coupled-mode induced transparency is realized in a single microbubble whispering gallery mode resonator. Using aerostatic tuning, we find that the pressure induced shifting rates are different for different radial order modes. A finite element simulation considering both the strain and stress effects shows a GHz/bar difference and this is confirmed by experiments. A transparency spectrum is obtained when a first order mode shifts across a higher order mode through precise pressure tuning. The resulting lineshapes are fitted with the theory. This work lays a foundation for future applications in microbubble sensing.

The Problem of Motion: The Statistical Mechanics of Zitterbewegung

description: Around 1930, both Gregory Breit and Erwin Schroedinger showed that the eigenvalues of the velocity of a particle described by wavepacket solutions to the Dirac equation are simply $\pm$c, the speed of light. This led Schroedinger to coin the term Zitterbewegung, which is German for "trembling motion", where all particles of matter (fermions) zig-zag back-and-forth at only the speed of light. The result is that any finite speed less than $c$, including the state of rest, only makes sense as a long-term average that can be thought of as a drift velocity. In this paper, we seriously consider this idea that the observed velocities of particles are time-averages of motion at the speed of light and demonstrate how the relativistic velocity addition rule in one spatial dimension is readily derived by considering the probabilities that a particle is observed to move either to the left or to the right at the speed of light.

description: Education access and quality is a key social determinant of health that has a major influence on wellbeing (Healthy People 2030, n.d.). Higher levels of education have been shown to lead to increased opportunities, employment, income, and health status (The Lancet Public Health, 2020). Health literacy plays a large role in the decreased health status among those with lower educational attainment. Inadequate health literacy has been shown to have a stronger association with poor health than age, income, employment status, or race (Shahid et al., 2022). Within Durham County, race is highly associated with educational attainment, as over 50% of both Hispanic males and females do not have a high school diploma compared to less than 5% of white males and females (Statistical Atlas, 2018). This proposal will create both a cultural school meal food program as well as a health literacy and English-as-a-second-language (ESL) curriculum within Durham Public Schools (DPS). These proposed programs will create improvements in academic performance and health literacy among Hispanic/Latino youth, leading to long term improvements in the overall health status of Durham County’s greater Hispanic/Latino community.

description: Die Dissertation stellt Verwendungsmöglichkeiten der Zentral- und Parallelprojektion im Mathematikunterricht an weiterführenden Schulen vor. Hierbei wurden auch konkrete Aufgabenstellungen entwickelt. Der erste Part besteht aus einer rein mathematischen Betrachtung der Projektion, d.h. Definition und Eigenschaften der Zentralprojektion sowie die Parallelprojektion als Sonderfall, wenn das Zentrum im Unendlichen liegt. Bewiesen werden Invarianten, u.a. unter Zunahme von Fernpunkten aus der Projektiven Geometrie. Mithilfe von homogenen Koordinaten wird die Zentralprojektion zu einer linearen Abbildung. Im zweiten Part erfolgt der Bezug zur Schule. Welche Themen aus der Geometrie werden laut Lehrplan in NRW vorgegeben? Welche Aufgaben zur Zentralprojektion, Dreitafelprojektion und Schrägbilddarstellung existieren schon in Schulbüchern? Zusätzlich wurden weitere Materialien entwickelt, u.a. Programmcode in der objektorientierten Sprache Processing.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience: A Case for the Creation of an Internationally Recognized Gender-based Vulnerability Index
Creators: name: Marker-Katz, Rene
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Part of our research within DR3 has been to analyze the existing economic vulnerability indices
and multidimensional vulnerability indices prepared by the United Nations, along with the
Children’s Climate and Risk Index (CCRI) published by UNICEF, to determine if these indices can
carry over into other vulnerable groups, such as women. Through these analyses, we hope to
(1) identify existing vulnerability indicators that can inform a women’s vulnerability index, (2)
identify missing indicators from the CCRI that should be included in a women’s vulnerability
index, and (3) report on any limitations in the creation of these indicators such as the
incorporation of accredited data sets that would enable the publication of a women’s
vulnerability index to be recognized at a United Nations protocol standard. While we will
summarize on existing vulnerability indices established by the United Nations such as the EVI
and MVI, for strongest consideration we will be looking at UNICEF’s most recent index, the
Children’s Climate Risk Index (CCRI), that addresses vulnerability for children, to see if those
indicators and datasets can carry over into the creation of a WVI.
Selected Readings for the Public Health Classroom

description: This compilation of readings was prepared in the summer of 2020 following the murder of George Floyd and the piqued interest in incorporating anti-racist praxis into the institutions in which we live, work, and study. Many staff and faculty are attuned to the needs of this work and aim to center their research, teaching, and activism in ways that bring our communities closer to the goal of health equity.
Still, there is work to be done by all of us, even those of us who practice anti-racism on a daily basis. There has been student interest in classes on racism as well as faculty request for guidance on aligning course material and research practice with an anti-racist lens. In order to help meet these interests, we curated a selection of readings for students, staff, and faculty in public health.
Pasta Nucleosynthesis: Molecular dynamics simulations of nuclear statistical equilibrium

description: Background: Exotic non-spherical nuclear pasta shapes are expected in nuclear matter at just below saturation density because of competition between short range nuclear attraction and long range Coulomb repulsion. Purpose: We explore the impact of nuclear pasta on nucleosynthesis, during neutron star mergers, as cold dense nuclear matter is ejected and decompressed. Methods: We perform classical molecular dynamics simulations with 51200 and 409600 nucleons, that are run on GPUs. We expand our simulation region to decompress systems from an initial density of 0.080 fm^{-3} down to 0.00125 fm^{-3}. We study proton fractions of Y_P=0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40 at T =0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 MeV. We calculate the composition of the resulting systems using a cluster algorithm. Results: We find final compositions that are in good agreement with nuclear statistical equilibrium models for temperatures of 0.75 and 1 MeV. However, for proton fractions greater than Y_P=0.2 at a temperature of T = 0.5 MeV, the MD simulations produce non-equilibrium results with large rod-like nuclei. Conclusions: Our MD model is valid at higher densities than simple nuclear statistical equilibrium models and may help determine the initial temperatures and proton fractions of matter ejected in mergers.

description: In our series of papers presenting the Herschel imaging of evolved planetary nebulae, we present images of the dust distribution in the Helix nebula (NGC 7293). Images at 70, 160, 250, 350, and 500 micron were obtained with the PACS and SPIRE instruments on board the Herschel satellite. The broadband maps show the dust distribution over the main Helix nebula to be clumpy and predominantly present in the barrel wall. We determined the spectral energy distribution of the main nebula in a consistent way using Herschel, IRAS, and Planck flux values. The emissivity index of 0.99 +/- 0.09, in combination with the carbon rich molecular chemistry of the nebula, indicates that the dust consists mainly of amorphous carbon. The dust excess emission from the central star disk is detected at 70 micron and the flux measurement agree with previous measurement. We present the temperature and dust column density maps. The total dust mass across the Helix nebula (without its halo) is determined to be 0.0035 solar mass at a distance of 216 pc. The temperature map shows dust temperatures between 22 and 42 K, which is similar to the kinetic temperature of the molecular gas, strengthening the fact that the dust and gas co-exist in high density clumps. Archived images are used to compare the location of the dust emission in the far infrared (Herschel) with the ionized (GALEX, Hbeta) and molecular hydrogen component. The different emission components are consistent with the Helix consisting of a thick walled barrel-like structure inclined to the line of sight. The radiation field decreases rapidly through the barrel wall.

Developing An Anti-Displacement Toolkit For Charlotte, NC: An Assessment Of Strategies From The Fastest-Growing US Metros
Creators: name: Tosé, Bear
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this research project is to (1) understand what strategies other fast- growing metros are using to mitigate displacement pressures, and (2) consider what anti-displacement strategies are best suited for implementation in the City of Charlotte neighborhoods. To address these questions, the author conducted a content analysis of housing-related plans for 6 benchmark metros, categorizing anti- displacement strategies in terms of their ability to produce affordable housing, preserve affordable housing, or stabilize neighborhoods. In addition, the author developed a displacement typology assessment to spatially assign specific tools to Charlotte neighborhoods based on the stage of displacement experienced by residents.

The structure of the report is as follows: a review of the literature around the terms gentrification and displacement as well as an exploration of their causes, an evaluation of displacement mitigation strategies for the benchmark metropolitan areas, a discussion of the results of the displacement risk assessment within Charlotte, and lastly, a toolkit of anti-displacement strategies specific to Charlotte’s neighborhood typologies that considers legal constraints.
