description: Our work is motivated by an interest in constructing a protein-protein interaction network that captures key features associated with Parkinson's disease. While there is an abundance of subnetwork construction methods available, it is often far from obvious which subnetwork is the most suitable starting point for further investigation. We provide a method to assess whether a subnetwork constructed from a seed list (a list of nodes known to be important in the area of interest) differs significantly from a randomly generated subnetwork. The proposed method uses a Monte Carlo approach. As different seed lists can give rise to the same subnetwork, we control for redundancy by constructing a minimal seed list as the starting point for the significance test. The null model is based on random seed lists of the same length as a minimum seed list that generates the subnetwork, in this random seed list the nodes have (approximately) the same degree distribution as the nodes in the minimum seed list. We use this null model to select subnetworks which deviate significantly from random on an appropriate set of statistics and might capture useful information for a real world protein-protein interaction network.

description: The classical $\overline \partial$-method has been generalized recently [lnv], [lnv2] to be used in the presence of exceptional points. We apply this generalization to solve Dirac inverse scattering problem with weak assumptions on smoothness of potentials. As a consequence, this provides an effective method of reconstruction of complex-valued one time differentiable conductivities in the inverse impedance tomography problem.

An Evaluation of Cross-Media Trading to Control Nitrogen Loading at a Single Receptor: The Case of the Chesapeake Bay
Creators: name: Lewis, Courtney B.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: The feasibility of cross-media trading to control nitrogen loading to a single estuary was examined, using the case of the Chesapeake Bay as an example. Data on transfer coefficients that relate atmospheric and water borne nitrogen sources' emissions to a load at a receptor and emissions reduction cost data were used to make generalizations about trading patterns in the Bay airshed and watershed. The two most likely trading partners are electric utilities and waste water treatment plants, and the treatment plants are likely able to reduce their nitrogen load at less cost. Cross-media trading may allow the Chesapeake Bay industries to reduce the annual nitrogen load at less cost than the current strategy. From a national perspective however, any cross-media trading program for which at least one of the sources exerts effects on an external receptor will be economically inefficient because those sources do not face the full cost of their environmental damages when making abatement and permit purchase decisions.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Modifications were made to a bench-top dustiness tester to allow for the simultaneous collection of dust generation and separation force data. Tests were performed on limestone, glass beads, titanium dioxide, and lactose. Their results were compared to a model developed from data measured in a previous study using a large-scale tester. The results of tests performed on four additional materials (instant tea mix, copier toner, baby powder, and fly ash) were also compared to predictions from the model. The data obtained in this study compared well to the data from the previous study. The data also compared well to the model with 94% falling within the 95% confidence interval.

How do the Digital Marketing Practices of Estate Agents Influence Different Forms of Rural Gentrification? A Comparative Study of Three Rural Parishes.
Creators: name: McHugh, Niamh
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Estate agencies play a critical role in attracting potential homebuyers to rural areas through their marketing strategies. The digital marketing of real estate has become a central part of the industry, as in this current age of digitalisation, estate agencies have ‘found a home online’, with the adoption of digital marketing technologies becoming one of their most significant avenues in engaging homebuyers and ultimately attracting custom. Studies investigating the digital marketing strategies of estate agencies have not been widely investigated in the context of rural areas and in particular studies surrounding rural gentrification. The digital marketing of rural properties is critical to the process of rural gentrification as it is often the first step in the movement of people to these rural areas. Through the use of interviews with estate agencies and local Parish Councillors, alongside the use of secondary data, this research draws upon the experiences of three rural parishes in the UK who display different forms of rural gentrification. It is argued that four central facets influence the differential production of rural gentrification in these parishes, that being: the type of estate agent, digital marketing practices, the geographic location and form of rurality. Finally, it is found that each parish was experiencing different forms of rural gentrification, and that estate agents continue to hold an influential position in attracting and guiding gentrifiers to these areas, through their adoption of the latest digital marketing technologies. Overall, this thesis contributes much needed research to contemporary studies of rural gentrification and the role of estate agents, and the digital marketing practices which they use in influencing these processes.

description: DNA repair proteins have been found to localize to the centrosomes and defects in these proteins cause centrosome abnormality. Centrobin is a centriole-associated protein that is required for centriole duplication and microtubule stability. A recent study revealed that centrobin is a candidate substrate for ATM/ATR kinases. However, whether centrobin is involved in DNA damage response (DDR) remains unexplored. Here we show that centrobin is phosphorylated after UV exposure and that the phosphorylation is detected exclusively in the detergent/DNase I-resistant nuclear matrix. UV-induced phosphorylation of centrobin is largely dependent on ATR activity. Centrobin-depleted cells show impaired DNA damage-induced microtubule stabilization and increased sensitivity to UV radiation. Interestingly, depletion of centrobin leads to defective homologous recombination (HR) repair, which is reversed by expression of wild-type centrobin. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that centrobin plays an important role in DDR.
Slurry-Phase Bioremediation of a Tar-Contaminated Soil From a Former Manufactured Gas Plant Site
Creators: name: Nitz, David C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: This study investigates the treatability of a tar-contaminated soil from a former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site via slurry phase bioremediation. Two bench scale slurry phase reactors (solid residence times of 18 and 35 days) were constructed and used to treat soil from an MGP site in Greenville, SC. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of solids residence time on polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) removal under "conventional" operating conditions. Another primary goal was to develop standard operating and analytical procedures for conducting bench scale slurry phase experiments. A statistically significant reduction in the concentration of PAH in the contaminated soil was observed in both reactors. However, the reactors did not perform significantly differently from each other, suggesting that a SRT of 18 days or less would be optimum for treatment of this soil under similar reactor conditions. Considerable variability in the concentration of PAH in the treated soil occurred as a result of an observed phase separation in the reactors. Important factors governing slurry phase treatment effectiveness were found to be the reactor design and the physical composition of the reactor solids. Also, a shaker extraction method was found to provide a useful alternative to the soxhlet extraction method for determining PAH concentration in soil.

description: Sharing economy is a distributed peer-to-peer economic paradigm, which gives rise to a variety of social interactions for economic purposes. One fundamental distributed decision-making process is coalition formation for sharing certain replaceable resources collaboratively, for example, sharing hotel rooms among travelers, sharing taxi-rides among passengers, and sharing regular passes among users. Motivated by the applications of sharing economy, this paper studies a coalition formation game subject to the capacity of $K$ participants per coalition. The participants in each coalition are supposed to split the associated cost according to a given cost-sharing mechanism. A stable coalition structure is established when no group of participants can opt out to form another coalition that leads to lower individual payments. We quantify the inefficiency of distributed decision-making processes under a cost-sharing mechanism by the strong price of anarchy (SPoA), comparing a worst-case stable coalition structure and a social optimum. In particular, we derive SPoA for common fair cost-sharing mechanisms (e.g., equal-split, proportional-split, egalitarian and Nash bargaining solutions of bargaining games, and usage based cost-sharing). We show that the SPoA for equal-split, proportional-split, and usage based cost-sharing (under certain conditions) is $Θ(\log K)$, whereas the one for egalitarian and Nash bargaining solutions is $O(\sqrt{K} \log K)$. Therefore, distributed decision-making processes under common fair cost-sharing mechanisms induce only moderate inefficiency.

title: Regioselective C–H thioarylation of arenes using iron catalysis
Creators: name: Dodds, Amy
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this PhD was to develop novel methods of C–S bond formation using earth abundant transition metal catalysis. The first project focused on the development of a regioselective, iron(III) triflimide-catalysed C–H thioarylation of electron-rich arenes. The methodology was used to synthesise pharmaceutically relevant aryl sulfur-containing compounds, as well as for the late-stage thioarylation of amino acid derivatives. Kinetic studies were undertaken, demonstrating that Nthiosuccinimides bearing electron deficient arenes undergo thioarylation catalysed by the iron(III) triflimide catalyst, whereas, electron rich N-(arylthio)succinimides react via an autocatalytic mechanism partly promoted by the Lewis basic product. The second and third projects describe the extension of this methodology for the synthesis of sulfur containing heterocycles. In particular, further optimisation studies identified that the iron(III) triflimide-catalysed thioarylation reaction could be accelerated upon addition of a Lewis base catalyst, resulting in a dual Lewis acid/Lewis base catalytic system. Subsequent copper or palladium mediated C–O or C–N cross-coupling reactions were then employed to synthesise small libraries of phenoxathiins and phenothiazines, respectively. The final project details the development of a synthetic route towards a new class of fluorescent α-amino acids derived from L-tryptophan, which used the iron(III) triflimide/diphenyl selenide dual-catalysed thioarylation reaction as the key step. A small library of compounds was synthesised, which all displayed promising photophysical properties.

description: The origin of non-thermal motions in massive star forming regions can be ascribed to turbulence acting against the gravitational collapse, or to the self-gravity itself driving the rapid global collapse. The dependence between velocity dispersion, radius and clouds surface density found by Heyer et al. (2009), $σ/R^{1/2}\propto Σ^{1/2}$, has been interpreted in terms of global collapse of clouds. In this work we demonstrate that this relation is an expression of a more general relation between accelerations. We introduce the gravo-turbulent acceleration, a$_k$, which describe the non-thermal motions in each region, and the acceleration generated by the gravitational field a$_G$, which is proportional to $Σ$. We also introduce a new coefficient, the force partition coefficient $α_{for}$ which is equivalent to the virial parameter but does not distinguish between collapsing and non-collapsing regions. In this work we use the a$_k$ - a$_G$ formalism in the analysis of a new sample of 16 massive starless clumps (MSCls) combined with data from the literature. We show that a$_k$ and a$_G$ are not independent. The non-thermal motions in each region can originate from both local turbulence and self-gravity but overall the data in the a$_k$ vs. a$_G$ diagram demonstrate that the majority of the non-thermal motions originate from self-gravity. We further show that all the MSCls with $Σ\geq 0.1$ g cm$^{-2}$ show signs of infall motions, a strong indication that the denser regions are the first to collapse. Finally, we include in the formalism the contribution of an external pressure and the magnetic fields.

Anhand von Gesprächstranskripten wird die kunstvolle Darstellung- und Attributionspraxis in der alltäglichen Geschlechtsunterscheidung beschrieben. Die soziale Existenzweise von Geschlechtern wird als Geschlechtszuständigkeit bestimmt. Damit werden die moralische Dimension des Verleihens von Geschlechtsgeltung und die interaktiven Beziehungen hervorgehoben, in denen Teilnehmer in der Geschlechtskonstruktion kollaborieren. Gegen die in der Geschlechtersoziologie vorherrschende Vorstellung vom Körper als biologischer Basis zivilisatorischer Elaboration wird eine soziale Konstruktion des Körpers behauptet, die als eine Praxis ihre Reproduktionsbedingungen in den Beziehungen konstruierter Geschlechter hat.

description: We extend the notion of a fundamental negatively $\mathbb Z$-graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{m}_x=\bigoplus_{p\leq -1}\mathfrak{m}_x^p$ associated to any point of a Levi nondegenerate CR manifold to the class of $k$-nondegenerate CR manifolds $(M,\mathcal D,\mathcal J)$ for all $k\geq 2$ and call this invariant the core at $x\in M$. It consists of a $\mathbb Z$-graded vector space $\mathfrak{m}_x=\bigoplus_{p\leq k-2}\mathfrak{m}_x^p$ of height $k-2$ endowed with the natural algebraic structure induced by the Tanaka and Freeman sequences of $(M,\mathcal D,\mathcal J)$ and the Levi forms of higher order. In the case of CR manifolds of hypersurface type we propose a definition of a homogeneous model of type $\mathfrak m$, that is, a homogeneous $k$-nondegenerate CR manifold $M=G/G_o$ with core $\mathfrak m$ associated with an appropriate $\mathbb Z$-graded Lie algebra $Lie(G)=\mathfrak g=\bigoplus\mathfrak g^p$ and subalgebra $Lie(G_o)=\mathfrak g_o=\bigoplus\mathfrak g_o^p$ of the nonnegative part $\bigoplus_{p\geq 0}\mathfrak g^p$. It generalizes the classical notion of Tanaka of homogeneous model for Levi nondegenerate CR manifolds and the tube over the future light cone, the unique (up to local CR diffeomorphisms) maximally homogeneous $5$-dimensional $2$-nondegenerate CR manifold. We investigate the basic properties of cores and models and study the $7$-dimensional CR manifolds of hypersurface type from this perspective. We first classify cores of $7$-dimensional $2$-nondegenerate CR manifolds up to isomorphism and then construct homogeneous models for seven of these classes. We finally show that there exists a unique core and homogeneous model in the $3$-nondegenerate class.

Creators: name: Fradsham, Sarah
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: This thesis investigates language transfer in bilinguals at the beginning of the learning of a novel language. Participants are speakers with L1 English and L2 French, or L1 French and L2 English. The task consists of having participants produce coda clusters that are allowed in Russian. Results show that both groups performed well on clusters that are allowed in English and French, but poorly on those that are not found in either language. Optimality Theory analyses show that the English L1 group only transfers their English knowledge, while the French L1 group transfers both English and French knowledge. This is shown through the repair strategies used, as the English L1 group tended to repair using medial epenthesis, and the French L1 group used a combination of medial and word-final epenthesis. These results show support for the Linguistic Proximity Model, as it accounts for the combination of sources for transfer. To explain these patterns of transfer, it is hypothesized that English is transferred because of psychotypology, or possibly because English is the most restrictive language as it has the smallest amount of allowable coda clusters. Under the Subset Principle, the most restrictive language is optimal for facilitating learning of novel languages.

description: A deformation of the combinatorial Laplacian is proposed, consisting in a generalization of several existing Laplacians. As particular cases of this construction, the dilation Laplacians are shown to be useful tools for ranking in directed networks of pairwise comparisons. The eigenvector with the smallest eigenvalue of the dilation Laplacians has the same sign on any connected graph, and provides directly a ranking score of its nodes. The ranking method, phrased in terms of a group synchronization problem, is applied to artificial and real data, and its performance is compared with other ranking strategies. A main feature of this approach is the presence of a deformation parameter enabling the emphasis of the top-$k$ objects in the ranking. Furthermore, inspired by these results, a family of random walks interpolating between the undirected random walk and the Pagerank random walk is also proposed.

description: To survive environmental conditions, cells transcribe their response activities into encoded mRNA sequences in order to produce certain amounts of protein concentrations. The external conditions are mapped into the cell through the activation of special proteins called transcription factors (TFs). Due to the difficult task to measure experimentally TF behaviours, and the challenges to capture their quick-time dynamics, different types of models based on differential equations have been proposed. However, those approaches usually incur in costly procedures, and they present problems to describe sudden changes in TF regulators. In this paper, we present a switched dynamical latent force model for reverse-engineering transcriptional regulation in gene expression data which allows the exact inference over latent TF activities driving some observed gene expressions through a linear differential equation. To deal with discontinuities in the dynamics, we introduce an approach that switches between different TF activities and different dynamical systems. This creates a versatile representation of transcription networks that can capture discrete changes and non-linearities We evaluate our model on both simulated data and real-data (e.g. microaerobic shift in E. coli, yeast respiration), concluding that our framework allows for the fitting of the expression data while being able to infer continuous-time TF profiles.
Comparing the Partitioning Behavior of Giardia and Cryptosporidium with that of Indicator Organisms in Stormwater Runoff
Creators: name: Cizek, Adrienne R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Microbial association with particles can significantly affect the fate and transport characteristics of microbes in aquatic systems as particle-associated organisms will be less mobile in the environment than their free phase (i.e. unattached) counterparts. As such, similarities or dissimilarities in the partitioning behavior of indicator organisms and pathogens may have an impact on the suitability of a particular indicator to act as a surrogate for a pathogen. This research analyzed the partitioning behavior of two pathogens (Cryptosporidium, Giardia) and several common indicator organisms (fecal coliform , E.coli, Enterococci, Clostridium perfringens spores, and coliphage) in natural waters under both dry and wet weather conditions. Samples were taken from several streams in two distinct sampling phases: (i) single grab samples; and (ii) intrastorm samples obtained throughout the duration of four storms. Partitioning behavior varied by microbial type, with 15-30% of bacterial indicators (fecal coliform , E.coli, and Enterococci) associated with settleable particles compared to 50% for C.perfringens. Both pathogens exhibited similar levels of particle association during dry weather (roughly 30%), with increased levels observed during wet weather events (Giardia to 60% and Cryptosporidium to 40%). The settling velocities of particle-associated microbes were also estimated, with those of the bacterial indicators (fecal coliform, E.coli, and Enterococci), as well as C.perfringens spores, being similar to that of the Giardia and Cryptosporidium, suggesting these organisms may exhibit similar transport behavior. With respect to intrastorm analysis, the highest microbial concentrations, in both particle-associated and freephase, occurred during the earlier stages of a storm. The total loadings of both indicators and pathogens were also estimated over the course of individual storms.

description: The existence of ovulatory cycle shifts in women’s mate preferences has been discussed controversially. There is evidence that naturally cycling women in their fertile phase, compared to their luteal phase, evaluate specific behavioral cues in men as more attractive for sexual relationships. However, recent research has cast doubt on these findings. We addressed this debate in a large, pre-registered within-subject study including salivary hormone measures and luteinizing hormone tests. One-hundred-fifty-seven female participants rated natural videos of 70 men in dyadic intersexual interactions on sexual and long-term attractiveness. Multilevel comparisons across two ovulatory cycles indicated that women’s mate preferences for men’s behaviors did not shift across the cycle, neither for competitive, nor for courtship behavior. Hormone levels and relationship status did not affect these results. Hormonal mechanisms and implications for estrus theories are discussed.

description: Decoherence is an essential mechanism that defines the boundary between classical and quantum behaviours, while imposing technological bounds for quantum devices. Little is known about quantum coherence of mechanical systems, as opposed to electromagnetic degrees of freedom. But decoherence can also be thought of in a purely classical context, as the loss of phase coherence in the classical phase space. Indeed the bridge between quantum and classical physics is under intense investigation, using in particular classical nanomechanical analogues of quantum phenomena. In the present work, by separating pure dephasing from dissipation, we quantitatively model the classical decoherence of a mechanical resonator: through the experimental control of frequency fluctuations, we engineer artificial dephasing. Building on the fruitful analogy introduced between spins/quantum bits and nanomechanical modes, we report on the methods available to define pure dephasing in these systems, while demonstrating the intrinsic almost-ideal properties of silicon-nitride beams. These experimental and theoretical results, at the boundary between classical nanomechanics and quantum information fields, are prerequisite in the understanding of decoherence processes in mechanical devices, both classical and quantum.

Comparison of Oxygen Transfer Between an Integrated Fixed-Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) Process and a Conventional Activated Sludge Process (ASP)

description: The T.Z. Osborne (TZO) Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) located in Greensboro, NC is a 40 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant that includes biological nutrient removal with surface-water discharge. Several process alternatives are being evaluated as strategies to meet forthcoming nutrient limits. Integrated fixed film activated sludge (IFAS) is one of the alternatives being considered for implementation. Due to the limited number of full-scaleo perating IFAS treatment facilities in the United States and the City of Greensboro's desire to experience operating the process, a thorough year-long study was conducted to quantify the nitrification kinetics, aeration requirements, process performance, and potential operational issues. As part of the full-scale evaluation, an off-gas test was performed in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers' (ASCE) Protocol. Previously, only one off-gas test had been performed, and it was conducted by another IFAS manufacturer. To our knowledge, the testing described in this report is the first independent off-gas test on an IFAS system to date. Results of the testing indicate that the IFAS process has higher air flux and air use per unit load treated compared to the activated sludge process (ASP), likely due to elevated mixing requirements and high dissolved oxygen (DO) specified by the process manufacturer, with associated lower oxygen transfer efficiency. The relative air use of the IFAS process is in the range of 1.3 to over 3.0 times that of the ASP, and the IFAS process has approximately 25 to 50% more air use for mixing when compared to the ASP.

description: A subcritical pattern-forming system with nonlinear advection in a bounded domain is recast as a slow-fast system in space and studied using a combination of geometric singular perturbation theory and numerical continuation. Two types of solutions describing the possible location of stationary fronts are identified, whose origin is traced to the onset of convective and absolute instability when the system is unbounded. The former are present only for nonzero upstream boundary conditions and provide a quantitative understanding of noise-sustained structures in systems of this type. The latter correspond to the onset of a global mode and are present even with zero upstream boundary condition. The role of canard trajectories in the nonlinear transition between these states is clarified and the stability properties of the resulting spatial structures are determined. Front location in the convective regime is highly sensitive to the upstream boundary condition and its dependence on this boundary condition is studied using a combination of numerical continuation and Monte Carlo simulations of the partial differential equation. Statistical properties of the system subjected to random or stochastic boundary conditions at the inlet are interpreted using the deterministic slow-fast spatial-dynamical system.

description: The Washington State 2021-23 Operating Budget ESSB 5092 Sec 606(23)) funded the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group (CIG) to “provide an updated climate risk assessment designed to inform future updates to the statewide climate resilience strategy.” The UW CIG, with Washington State University IMPACT Center, compiled information on two science-based elements of climate risk: Biophysical Impacts: Projections of the magnitude and timing of changes in the climate and climate-related hazards. Expected climate changes are mapped for Washington State, summarized by county, and presented in an interactive web application for local governments and state agencies, Climate Mapping for a Resilient Washington. Economic Impacts: Case studies of the economic consequences of three key biophysical impacts — extreme heat, wildfire, drought —for the economy in Washington. This assessment of future changes in the climate and climate-related hazards, with associated economic consequences, can inform state and local plans for climate resilience and prioritization of funding for risk-reduction activities.
