description: It has been reported that treating music wire (high carbon steel wire) by cooling to cryogenic temperatures can enhance its mechanical properties with particular reference to those properties important for musical performance. We use such wire for suspending many of the optics in Advanced LIGO, the upgrade to LIGO - the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Two properties that particularly interest us are mechanical loss and breaking strength. A decrease in mechanical loss would directly reduce the thermal noise associated with the suspension, thus enhancing the noise performance of mirror suspensions within the detector. An increase in strength could allow thinner wire to be safely used, which would enhance the dilution factor of the suspension, again leading to lower suspension thermal noise. In this article we describe the results of an investigation into some of the mechanical properties of music wire, comparing untreated wire with the same wire which has been cryogenically treated. For the samples we studied we conclude that there is no significant difference in the properties of interest for application in gravitational wave detectors.

description: The CLASH X-ray selected sample of 20 galaxy clusters contains ten brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) that exhibit significant ($>$5 $σ$) extinction-corrected star formation rates (SFRs). Star formation activity is inferred from photometric estimates of UV and H$α$+[\ion{N}{2}] emission in knots and filaments detected in CLASH HST ACS and WFC3 observations. UV-derived SFRs in these BCGs span two orders of magnitude, including two with a SFR $\gtrsim$ 100 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. These measurements are supplemented with [\ion{O}{2}], [\ion{O}{3}], and H$β$ fluxes measured from spectra obtained with the SOAR telescope. We confirm that photoionization from ongoing star formation powers the line emission nebulae in these BCGs, although in many BCGs there is also evidence of a LINER-like contribution to the line emission. Coupling these data with Chandra X-ray measurements, we infer that the star formation occurs exclusively in low-entropy cluster cores and exhibits a correlation with gas properties related to cooling. We also perform an in-depth study of the starburst history of the BCG in the cluster RXJ1532.9+3021, and create 2D maps of stellar properties on scales down to $\sim$350 pc. These maps reveal evidence for an ongoing burst occurring in elongated filaments, generally on $\sim$ 0.5-1.0 Gyr timescales, although some filaments are consistent with much younger ($\lesssim$ 100 Myr) burst timescales and may be correlated with recent activity from the AGN. The relationship between BCG SFRs and the surrounding ICM gas properties provide new support for the process of feedback-regulated cooling in galaxy clusters and is consistent with recent theoretical predictions.

The Mammography Debate: October 2001-March 2002: Controversies in the Press and the Cancer Community
Creators: name: Randolph, Whitney Michelle, Ph.D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: The media plays an important role in informing the public about medical and scientific research and discoveries. However little is know about how the media covers these topics and disseminates information to the public. For this paper, I examined the media coverage of a debate about the usefulness of screening mammography in preventing mortality from breast cancer. The controversy began in October of 2001 when two researchers, Olsen and G0tzsche, published a review for the Cochrane Collaboration in The Lancet, a prestigious British medical journal. In it they stated that according to their analysis mammography was not useful in preventing breast cancer mortality. To examine the debate that ensued after the article was published I went to three major types of sources. These three sources formed the three arms of my conceptual model. The first set of sources were the original letters, editorials and articles in published in The Lancet about the mammography issue between October of 2001 and March of 2002. The second set of sources were articles, editorials and stories from six major newspapers and five major television news sources published or broadcast about the controversy during the time frame of October 2001-March 2002. The last group of sources were the news releases and information of other major players such as the National Cancer Institute, United States Preventive Services Task Force and the American Cancer Society. My goal was to examine how the research community, the news media and the major players in the cancer field interacted to develop the debate. The story of the debate will be presented chronologically as events happened from the publishing of the original article in October 2001, to the statements by the major cancer organizations and several expert panels who revisited the issue in light of the controversy, then to the Senate hearings in February and concluding with the coverage another review of mammography published by The Lancet in March 2002. I conclude with a summary of the debate, the role of the media in covering the debate, and suggestions on how to handle these types public health and medical controversies in the future.
Simulated based mastery learning and the percutaneous cricothyrotomy
Creators: name: Duque, Sarah

description: Purpose of Project: The ability to obtain an emergency airway is an essential skill for all anesthesia providers. The Difficult Airway Algorithm (DAA) focuses on the management of difficult airways that are encountered with mask ventilation and endotracheal intubation, whether anticipated or unanticipated. When an anesthesia provider is unable to both mask ventilate or successfully endotracheally intubate after two attempts, it is referred to as a Can’t Ventilate Can’t Intubate (CVCI) event. A surgical airway is the last opportunity to produce a positive patient outcome, a skill that is neither practiced, nor frequently utilized in the field. Skill decay is a regularly reported problem because of the low occurrence high acuity nature of this scenario. · Methodology: The State Professional Assembly conducted an airway workshop on difficult airway management. Upon entering, attendants were tasked with being able to recite the indications, contraindications and complications of a percutaneous cricothyrotomy. Attendants were then asked to perform a percutaneous cricothyrotomy pre-intervention and evaluated using the same competency tools they would later be tested with to serve as a control. An educational audio-visual lecture as well as a hands-on presentation utilizing the simulated based mastery learning (SBML) method of instruction on 3D printed tracheal models was given to all attendants. Immediately following the block of instruction a post intervention teach-back assessment and likert scale to assess individual providers’ confidence level was implemented. Results: Both quantitative and descriptive analysis were performed on the data collected. A 2-Sample T Test as well as a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed a statistically significant difference between the pre and post intervention tests, indicating the SBML educational presentation better equipped the attendants on how to perform a percutaneous cricothyrotomy. A. A Cronbach’s Alpha was performed to prove internal consistency of the study and replicability. Lastly a breakdown of scores was included with the pre and post intervention scores. On the pre-test only 33.3% of the attendants were able to make it past question 1, with 11% making it to question 10. Attendants received markedly improved test scores after the intervention as the pass rate was 100%.Implications: Hospitals are in need for easily accessible and affordable, pre-prepared lectures that will keep their anesthesia providers proficient and ready to intervene during CVCI scenarios. 3D printed larynx models can serve as an excellent surrogate for training that allows for life-like conditions when paired with SBML. Answering this knowledge gap will bring about quality and safety, educational, clinical practice implications later discussed within this paper.

description: A vertex coloring of a graph is nonrepetitive if there is no path in the graph whose first half receives the same sequence of colors as the second half. While every tree can be nonrepetitively colored with a bounded number of colors (4 colors is enough), Fiorenzi, Ochem, Ossona de Mendez, and Zhu recently showed that this does not extend to the list version of the problem, that is, for every $\ell \geq 1$ there is a tree that is not nonrepetitively $\ell$-choosable. In this paper we prove the following positive result, which complements the result of Fiorenzi et al.: There exists a function $f$ such that every tree of pathwidth $k$ is nonrepetitively $f(k)$-choosable. We also show that such a property is specific to trees by constructing a family of pathwidth-2 graphs that are not nonrepetitively $\ell$-choosable for any fixed $\ell$.

Proposal for an Exploratory Study: Investigating the Role of Social Support for Recurrent Myocardial Infarction in High Risk Males
Creators: name: Lewis, Brian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is responsible for considerable morbidity and morality. Research over the past decades has clarified traditional risk factors such a high cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, obesity, or smoking. Recent research has begun exploring controversial relationships between CHD and potential risk factors such as lack of social support, social isolation, depression, Type A behavior, and hostile temperaments. Due to lack of power or methodological flaws these studies have been unable to establish consistent findings or clarify a theoretical basis for observed correlations. This paper surveys traditional risk factor interventions, provides a brief summary of the literature on the social risk factors, and proposes an exploratory study to investigate a conceptual model of CHD progression and potential risk factors. The proposed study builds from the strengths of the ENRICHD trial and addresses its weakness while providing a comprehensive data set for exploring risk factor interactions. Understanding these interactions within a conceptual model would serve as the basis for further effectiveness trials that would translate to clinical practice.
Pubertal variability in patterns of neurodevelopment during early adolescence

description: Physical and hormonal changes that occur with puberty influence patterns of neuromaturation (Herting & Sowell, 2017). Further, human neuroimaging research suggests that neuromaturation progresses from unimodal, sensorimotor areas to higher-order association areas (i.e. SA-axis) (Gogtay & Thompson, 2010) and that deviations from this axis may be related to risk for psychopathology (Sydnor et al., 2021). We have previously uncovered increasing variability in brain development as puberty progresses during early adolescence (Bottenhorn et al., 2023), when risk for psychopathology is at its highest (Solmi et al., 2022). Yet, questions remain as to the potential role of puberty in development along this S-A axis. Here, we assess individual alignment with the proposed S-A axis with respect to pubertal stages in early adolescence using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development℠ Study (ABCD Study®).

We used longitudinal neuroimaging and survey data from children ages 9-13 years and their caregivers, from the ABCD Study 4.0 data release (http://dx.doi.org/10.15154/1523041), to compare how brain changes align with hypothesized neurodevelopmental axes across Tanner stages, as assessed by the Pubertal Development Scale (Petersen et al., 1988). We assessed neurodevelopment as annualized percent change in brain morphology (N=7116), microarchitecture (N= 6250), and function (N= 4131), and assessed sensorimotor-association axis alignment via Spearman correlations, at α < 0.01, familywise error-rate corrected.

We uncovered substantial heterogeneity in individual brain development along the S-A axis, with most individuals showing no significant alignment. However, alignment with this neurodevelopmental axis differs between pre-, early-, and mid-pubertal individuals, in brain structure but not function. Interestingly, S-A alignment was unrelated to an individuals’ progression through pubertal stages.

Individual variability in neurodevelopment increases into mid puberty and these findings suggest that the spatial pattern of structural, but not functional, neurodevelopment along the S-A axis is partially explained by pubertal stage, but not changes therein. This is potentially due to pubertal measurement error. Additional research is needed to determine implications of these findings for the many researchers using this dataset and studying pubertal neurodevelopment, more broadly.

Polysemy in the era of constructions
Creators: name: Nikiforidou, Kiki
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: constructions, lexical and grammatical polysemy, Modern Greek, Medieval Greek, ela (έλα), pu (που)

description: Earlier studies of polysemy routinely associated meanings with invariant forms. The rise of constructional frameworks, on the other hand, has highlighted the need to refine the form-meanings association by recognizing that a given meaning may be linked to verbal or noun forms at a lower level than the lemma or to specific syntactic configurations and/or discourse contexts. In the present work, I take up this issue with respect to two sets of data from Greek, namely the polysemy of challenging ela and the multifunctionality of the grammatical marker pu. For both, corpus-based research strongly supports the need to associate the relevant meanings and functions with specific morpho-syntactic and prosodic forms and with specialized pragmatic features. In this respect, the work reported here highlights the appropriateness of constructions for representing meanings in polysemy networks.

This study contributed to the fields of L2/L3 acquisition of the English indefinite article. Results obtained from a forced-choice elicitation task (FCET) and a questionnaire revealed that the groups’ use of a(n) was due to the structural difficulty between English and CG/JA. It was found that English proficiency was the most influential factor that contributed to the acquisition of a(n). Unlike the L2 CG and L3 groups’ results, the L2 Jordanian group’s results supported the Fluctuation Hypothesis.

A Population-Based Analysis of Lymphatic Mapping and Sentinel Lymphadenectomy Utilization for Melanoma
Creators: name: Stitzenberg, Karyn B., M.D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: INTRODUCTION: Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymphadenectomy (LM/SL) is considered the nodal staging procedure of choice for patients with intermediate thickness (> 1.0mm, <4.0mm) melanoma. Despite this, the procedure has not been universally adopted. The aims of this investigation are to document the prevalence of LM/SL utilization and to identify predictors of under use. METHODS: All incident cases of melanoma from 1999-2001 reported to the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (CCR) were examined. Subjects who had primary tumors >l.0mm and <4.0mm thick and no clinical evidence of nodal or distant metastases were considered eligible for LM/SL. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with receipt of LM/SL. RESULTS: There were 3436 incident cases of melanoma reported for 1999-2001 (1111 in 1999, 1089 in 2000, and 1236 in 2001). 273 cases (8%) were excluded from analysis due to distant metastases or palpable adenopathy. An additional 916 29%) cases were excluded because the T classification of the primary tumor was not reported. Of the remaining 2247 cases, 1242 (55%) were eligible for LM/SL (T2 or T3), of which 48.0% (596/1242) underwent LM/SL. The proportion of subjects undergoing LM/SL was significantly associated with year of diagnosis (44% in 1999, increasing to 52% in 2000 and 50% in 2001, p=0.05). Subjects 60 years and older were less likely to undergo LM/SL compared to subjects less than 60 years (39% vs. 55%, p<0.001 ). Subjects with head or neck primary tumors were significantly less likely to undergo LM/SL compared to subjects with trunk or extremity primaries (32.9% vs. 51.4% and 51.9%, respectively, p<0.001), and subjects with T2 lesions were less likely to receive LM/SL than subjects with T3 lesions (41.7% vs. 53.6%, p<0.001). All of the associations remained statistically significant on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: Half of all eligible melanoma patients in North Carolina are failing to receive LM/SL. Predictors of underutilization of LM/SL include thinner primary tumors, advanced age, and head/neck location of the primary tumor. Further investigation is warranted to explore these differences and to improve utilization.

description: The “Melian Dialogue” serves as a prime example of how political thinking manifests itself in how one talks and, obviously, acts. During the negotiations the Athenians heavily employ vocabulary that is prototypically found in financial contexts to talk about stuff that was only rarely, if not at all, conceptualized as such. At the bottom of this is how the Athenians did politics back then, namely by placing all and everything on the cost-benefit scale (commonly known as “Realpolitik”). The relevant metaphors could be subsumed under the general supermetaphor LIFE IS COMMERCE that captures the quintessence of “Realpolitik”.

Wayne Initiative for School Health: Program Planning and Evaluation of a School-Based Health Center Program in Wayne County, NC

description: Many adolescents in the United States have considerable health care needs. High-risk behavior related to drugs, alcohol, and sexual activity can lead to increased morbidity and mortality among this age group. Poor diet and low levels of exercise can lead to significant health problems for adolescents. While access to health care providers plays an important role in tackling these issues with youth, studies have found that adolescents are not accessing or utilizing the care they may need. Teens cite difficulty accessing care, fears related to confidentiality, and cost as some reasons for forgone care. School-based health centers (SBHCs) are one way to improve adolescent access to and utilization of care. SBHCs are comprehensive primary care centers located on school grounds that provide screenings, acute care, care for chronic conditions, mental health services, and health education to students. There is considerable literature on different elements related to SBHCs, however a there is paucity of published information that provides details about planning, implementing, and evaluating SBHC programs. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by providing provide details of the program planning and implementation used by the Wayne Initiative for School Health (WISH) program to establish SBHCs in two resource-poor middle schools in their county. It also provides methods of evaluation according to program objectives. The paper provides a review of the current literature on SBHC planning and evaluation; the background, context, and goals and objectives of the program; program implementation charts; and suggested study design and methods of evaluation of the program. SBHCs have the potential to have a significant impact on adolescent health. This requires expanding the knowledge and literature of planning, implementation, and evaluation details. Future planners will benefit from this information, and will hopefully garner support at the local, state, and national level for establishing and sustaining SBHCs in all settings.

description: This study examined the attitudes towards non-native speakers by second-generation immigrant native English speakers (SGINES) vs. native English speakers whose parents were both native English speakers (NES). Participants rated recordings of accented English (Thai, Albanian, Pakistani, and Italian) as well as Southeast British English on ‘approachability’, ‘friendliness’, ‘intelligibility’, and ‘attractiveness’. It was found that (a) SGINES rated more favourably foreign accented English than NES did and (b) the two groups shared implicit biases towards accents so that Italian was, overall, the most favourable accent, Albanian was the least favourable one, and Thai and Pakistani were in between.

description: Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over $\mathbf{Z}$. For $p \in \mathcal{P}$ the set of prime numbers, let $N_{X}(p)$ be the number of $\mathbf{F}_{p}$-points of $X/\mathbf{F}_{p}$. For fixed $n\geq 1$ and $a_{1}, \ldots, a_{n} \in \mathbf{Z}$, we study the set $\bigcap_{i=1}^{n}\lbrace p\in\mathcal{P}-Σ_{X}, N_{X}(p)\neq a_{i}\ [\bmod\ p]\rbrace$ where $Σ_{X}$ is the finite set of primes of bad reduction for $X$. In case $\dim X\leq 3$, we show the set is either empty or has positive lower-density. We also address the question of the size of the smallest prime in that set. Using sieve methods, we obtain for example an upper bound for the size of the least prime of $\lbrace p\in\mathcal{P}, p\nmid N_{X}(p)\rbrace$ on average in particular families of hyperelliptic curves.

Truth-conditional pragmatics: A reconsideration of the distinction between narrowing and broadening

description: Lexical adjustment can be achieved by a pragmatic process of lexical modulation or ad hoc concept construction. While this process is claimed to be uniform, it is also commonly viewed as falling into two distinct types: narrowing and broadening. In the current paper, we take issue with this two-directional approach to ad hoc concept construction. We argue that it is based on a problematic line of argument as well as terminological misapplication, detracting from transparency and parsimony. In this light, the dual view of ad hoc concept construction needs to be replaced by a more coherent or integrative type of view that drops the distinction between narrowing and broadening or their synonymous terms.

description: Objective: To determine the association between biomarkers of ovarian reserve and luteal phase deficiency.Methods: This is a secondary analysis of data from a prospective time-to-conceive cohort study performed at the University of North Carolina. Women aged 30-44 years without a history of infertility completed daily menstrual diaries. Exposures of interest included early follicular phase serum levels of antimüllerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), inhibin B, and estradiol (serum samples collected at enrollment). The primary outcome was luteal phase deficiency as defined by luteal bleeding (≥ 1 day of spotting) or a short luteal phase length (≤ 11 days). Covariates of interest included age, race, previous miscarriages, previous pregnancies, and hormonal contraception use.  GEE models were used to estimate the association between biomarkers of ovarian reserve and luteal phase deficiency.Results: Overall, 755 women provided information on 2,171 menstrual cycles and serum for measurement of at least one biomarker of ovarian reserve. There were 2,096 cycles from 754 women in the luteal phase bleeding cohort, of which 40% experienced luteal phase bleeding. After adjusting for age, race, previous miscarriages, and previous pregnancies, diminished ovarian reserve was not statistically significantly associated with luteal phase bleeding. Low early follicular phase FSH levels increased the odds of luteal phase bleeding (OR 1.84; 95% CI 1.25, 2.71), as did high early follicular phase estradiol levels (OR 1.59; 95% CI 1.26, 2.01). A total of 608 cycles from 286 women were in the luteal phase length cohort, of which 13% had a short luteal phase. After adjusting for age, there was no statistically significant association between diminished ovarian reserve and a short luteal phase. The risk of a short luteal phase decreased with increasing inhibin B (OR 0.61; 95% CI 0.45, 0.81). Conclusions: Diminished ovarian reserve is not associated with luteal phase deficiency, as defined by luteal phase bleeding or a short luteal phase, in women of older reproductive age.

description: The paper presents a stochastic approach to estimate the aerodynamic forces with local dynamics on wind turbine blades in unsteady wind inflow. This is done by integrating a stochastic model of lift and drag dynamics for an airfoil into the aerodynamic simulation software AeroDyn. The model is added as an alternative to the static table lookup approach in blade element momentum (BEM) wake model used by AeroDyn. The stochastic forces are obtained for a rotor blade element using full field turbulence simulated wind data input and compared with the classical BEM and dynamic stall models for identical conditions. The comparison shows that the stochastic model generates additional extended dynamic response in terms of local force fluctuations. Further, the comparison of statistics between the classical BEM, dynamic stall and stochastic models' results in terms of their increment probability density functions gives consistent results.

description: Observations and simulations have demonstrated that star formation in galaxies must be actively suppressed to prevent the formation of over-massive galaxies. Galactic outflows driven by stellar feedback or supermassive black hole accretion are often invoked to regulate the amount of cold molecular gas available for future star formation, but may not be the only relevant quenching processes in all galaxies. We present the discovery of vast molecular tidal features extending up to 64 kpc outside of a massive z=0.646 post-starburst galaxy that recently concluded its primary star-forming episode. The tidal tails contain (1.2 +/- 0.1)x10^10 Msun of molecular gas, 47 +/- 5 % of the total cold gas reservoir of the system. Both the scale and magnitude of the molecular tidal features are unprecedented compared to all known nearby or high-redshift merging systems. We infer that the cold gas was stripped from the host galaxies during the merger, which is most likely responsible for triggering the initial burst phase and the subsequent suppression of star formation. While only a single example, this result shows that galaxy mergers can regulate the cold gas contents in distant galaxies by directly removing a large fraction of the molecular gas fuel, and plausibly suppress star formation directly, a qualitatively different physical mechanism than feedback-driven outflows.

Correlated spin-down rates and radio emission in PSR B1859+07

description: We study the spin-down changes of PSR B1859$+$07 over a period of more than 28 years of radio observation. We identify that the time derivative of the rotational frequency ($ν$) varies quasi-periodically with a period of $\sim$350 days, switching mainly between two spin-down states. The profile shape of the pulsar is correlated with the $\dot ν$ variation, producing two slightly different profile shapes corresponding to high- and low-$\dot ν$ states. In addition to these two normal emission states, we confirm the occasional flare-state of the pulsar, in which the emission appears early in spin phase compared to that of the common normal emission. The profile of the flare-state is significantly different from that of the two normal emission states. The correlation analysis further shows that the flare-state is not directly linked with the $\dot ν$ changes. With a simple emission beam model, we estimate the emission altitude of the normal emission to be 240~km, and explain the origin of the flare-state as an emission height variation from the leading edge of the beam. We also argue that the emission of these states can be explained with a partially active beam model. In this scenario, the trailing portion of the radio beam is usually active and the normal emission is produced. The flare-state occurs when the leading edge of the beam becomes active while the trailing part is being blocked. This model estimates a fixed emission altitude of 360~km. However, the cause of the flare-state (i.e. the emission height variation, or the time-dependent activity across the radio beam) is not easily explained.
