description: Newton-Cartan geometry has played a central role in recent discussions of non-relativistic holography and condensed matter systems. Although the conformal transformation in non-relativistic holography can be easily rephrased in Newton-Cartan geometry, we show that it requires a nontrivial procedure to get the consistent form of anisotropic disformal transformation in this geometry. Furthermore, as an application of the newly obtained disformal transformation, we use it to induce a new geometry.

A Comparison of Intraoral Image Quality, Error Rates, Operator and Patient Dosimetry between a Hand-Held Device and Wall-Mounted X-Ray Sources
Creators: name: Phillips, Billy James
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: Objectives: To compare handheld and wall-mounted x-ray sources during Full Mouth Examination (FMX). Methods: One operator simulated exposure of 10 FMX on a RANDO phantom for each of seven studies: three handheld and four wall-mounted. Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dosimetry was utilized to record dose. Effective dose was calculated using 2007 International Commission on Radiologic Protection (ICRP) tissue weights. Differences due to technique were evaluated using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). A cohort of 75 dental students exposed one FMX utilizing each device. Observers were calibrated and blinded to assess technique errors and Line Pair (LP) resolution. Results: Mean FMX dose was significantly less for handheld 36μSv than for wall-mounted devices 98μSv (p=0.0217). Mean operator exposures were indistinguishable from ambient background levels (<2 μGy/study). Mean total technique error was not different between devices (p = 0.29). Mean LP resolution was significantly higher for the handheld device, (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Operator, patient dose, and mean sum of total errors were not different. LP resolution was significantly higher for the handheld device during FMX simulation.

description: Symmetrically bonded thin and flexible T-peel specimens, when tested on vertical travel machines, can be subject to significant gravitational loading; with the associated asymmetry and mixed-mode failure during peeling. This can cause erroneously high experimental peel forces to be recorded which leads to uncertainty in estimating interfacial fracture toughness and failure mode. To overcome these issues, a mechanical test fixture has been designed for use with vertical test machines, that supports the unpeeled portion of the test specimen and suppresses parasitic loads due to gravity from affecting the peel test. The mechanism, driven by the test machine cross-head, moves at one-half of the velocity of the cross-head such that the unpeeled portion always lies in the plane of the instantaneous center of motion. Several specimens such as bonded polymeric films, laminates, and commercial tapes were tested with and without the fixture, and the importance of the proposed T-peel procedure has been demonstrated.
Herbaceous production and soil nitrogen after mesquite mortality
Creators: name: Ansley, Jim
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: In the mixed C3/C4 grassland of the southern Great Plains, USA, the invasive woody legume, honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa), affects grass production and composition differently beneath the canopy (subcanopy) than in spaces between trees (intercanopy) due in part to the dominant presence of C3 Texas wintergrass (Nassella leucotricha) beneath the mesquite canopy and soil enrichment from N-fixation by mesquite. This arrangement, unlike most Prosopis systems worldwide that have C4 grass or C3 subshrub understories, uniquely affects grass production spatially and seasonally during mesquite expansion and possibly after anthropogenic removal of mesquite. We compared herbaceous and soil N responses in subcanopy and intercanopy microsites during the first 2 years following a root-killing herbicide mesquite treatment. Perennial grass (PGR) and total herbaceous (THB) production were greater in treated than untreated intercanopy and subcanopy microsites at 1-yr post-treatment, with Texas wintergrass comprising the largest portion of PGR. In year 2, PGR production declined in both treated microsites with no differences between treatments. However, THB production remained greater in treated than untreated microsites due mainly to increased annual forb production that supplanted PGR production from year 1. Increased annual forb production in treated microsites in year 2 was likely due to high rainfall in fall of year 1 that stimulated forb seed germination, increased light from the loss of shading by mesquite, and soil inorganic N that increased from year 1 to year 2. Pre-treatment spatial heterogeneity of herbaceous composition and soil N, caused by mesquite, affected post-treatment patterns of herbaceous production. The unexpected replacement of PGR by annual forbs in year 2 revealed that grass forage production following brush control can deviate markedly from predicted models under certain conditions.

Patient reported postoperative and postdischarge nausea and vomiting following orthognathic surgery
Creators: name: Arbon, Jesse D.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common surgical sequelae. PONV coincides with physical morbidities and can increase recovery period, delay discharge, and lower patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to assess patients' experience with PONV following orthognathic surgery (OS). This prospective observational study enrolled 60 patients (ages 14-53) between 9/08 and 8/09 prior to OS. Patients completed a daily health diary each post-surgical day for 30 days. Data from medical/dental records were obtained to assess potential risk factors associated with patients' PONV experience. During the first 24 hours following OS, 58% of patients experienced significant nausea and 47% had an emetic event. 30% of subjects continued to report problems with PONV 5 days after being discharged. PONV has a high prevalence among orthognathic surgical patients. PONV continues to interfere with patient reported recovery nearly a week following surgery.

description: Informal caregivers of stroke survivors often report the need for training on how to care for a loved one with functional mobility limitations. Evidence on training interventions to help informal caregivers with issues related to mobility is varied. The objective of this scoping review was to examine the literature including skill-based training interventions that educate caregivers on functional mobility for stroke survivors. We extracted studies from OVID Medline, Cochrane, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Embase published between 1990 and 2021. At every stage of assessment, data extraction forms were used to reach consensus among at least three out of four authors. We followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines and Arskey and O’Malley’s framework to chart information into several tables based on research questions and summarized with descriptive statistics. Most studies were conducted outside the US focused on training in mobility and activities of daily living. The stroke survivor, on average, was an older individual (mean age 64.8 [SD = 5.3] years). The informal caregiver was predominately a younger female spouse (mean age 54.2 [SD = 6.3]). More than a third of the studies reported improvement in the stroke survivors’ physical function post-intervention, with a mean follow-up time of 4.4 months. Effective studies tended to include stroke survivors with less cognitive and functional mobility limitations at higher training dosages. Gaps in our understanding of informal caregiver training for those caring for stroke survivors are identified, and recommendations are provided for future research.

description: Community integration (CI) is often regarded as the foundation of rehabilitation endeavors after stroke; nevertheless, few studies have investigated the relationship between inpatient rehabilitation (clinical and demographic) variables and long-term CI. To identify novel classes of patients having similar temporal patterns in CI and relate them to baseline features. Retrospective observational cohort study analyzing (n = 287) adult patients with stroke admitted to rehabilitation between 2003 and 2018, including baseline Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at discharge, follow-ups (m = 1264) of Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) between 2006 and 2022. Growth mixture models (GMMs) were fitted to identify CI trajectories, and baseline predictors were identified using multivariate logistic regression (reporting AUC) with 10-fold cross validation. Each patient was assessed at 2.7 (2.2–3.7), 4.4 (3.7–5.6), and 6.2 (5.4–7.4) years after injury, 66% had a fourth assessment at 7.9 (6.8–8.9) years. GMM identified three classes of trajectories: Lowest CI (n=105, 36.6%): The lowest mean total CIQ; highest proportion of dysphagia (47.6%) and aphasia (46.7%), oldest at injury, largest length of stay (LOS), largest time to admission, and lowest FIM. Highest CI (n=63, 21.9%): The highest mean total CIQ, youngest, shortest LOS, highest education (27% university) highest FIM, and Intermediate CI (n=119, 41.5%): Intermediate mean total CIQ and FIM scores. Age at injury OR: 0.89 (0.85–0.93), FIM OR: 1.04 (1.02–1.07), hypertension OR: 2.86 (1.25–6.87), LOS OR: 0.98 (0.97–0.99), and high education OR: 3.05 (1.22–7.65) predicted highest CI, and AUC was 0.84 (0.76–0.93). Novel clinical (e.g. hypertension) and demographic (e.g. education) variables characterized and predicted long-term CI trajectories.

description: This study was conducted to examine the effects of body awareness on trunk control, affected upper extremity function, balance, fear of falling, functional level, and level of independence in patients with stroke. 35 individuals between the ages of 21 and 78 who were diagnosed with stroke were included in the study. The body awareness of the individuals participating in the study was determined with the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), trunk control with Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), the affected upper extremity functions with Motor Activity Log-28 (MAL,-28), and Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Assessment (FMUEA), balance with Berg Balance Scale (BBS), fear of falling with Tinetti Falls Efficacy Scale (TFES), functional level with Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index (BI) and level of independence with Functional Independence Measures (FIM). For patients participating in the study, 26% were female, 74% were male and 43% showed left, 57% showed right hemisphere involvement. In simple linear regression analysis, BAQ measurement had a statistically significant effect on TIS (F = 25.439 p = 0.001), MAL-28 (F = 7.852 p = 0.008), FMUEA (F = 12.155 p = 0.001), BBS (F = 13.506 p = 0.001), TFES (F = 13.119 p = 0.001), BI (F = 19.977 p = 0.001) and FIM (F = 22.014 p = 0.001) in patients with stroke. In conclusion, body awareness was found to be one of the factors affecting trunk control, affected upper extremity function, balance, fear of falling, functional level, and level of independence in patients with stroke. It was thought that there was a need for assessment of body awareness and include bodyawareness in rehabilitation programs in patients with stroke.

description: Given a seven-element set $X = \{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$, there are 30 ways to define a Fano plane on it. Let us call a line of such Fano plane, that is to say an unordered triple from $X$, ordinary or defective according as the sum of two smaller integers from the triple is or is not equal to the remaining one, respectively. A point of the labeled Fano plane is said to be of order $s$, $0 \leq s \leq 3$, if there are $s$ {\it defective} lines passing through it. With such structural refinement in mind, the 30 Fano planes are shown to fall into eight distinct types. Out of the total of 35 lines, nine ordinary lines are of five different kinds, whereas the remaining 26 defective lines yield as many as ten distinct types. It is shown, in particular, that no labeled Fano plane can have all points of zeroth order, or feature just one point of order two. A connection with prominent configurations in Steiner triple systems is also pointed out.

description: This is a cross-sectional study containing a collection of self-report measures administered via qualtrics.com. Measures include the DASS-21, the Flourishing Scale, the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory (MPFI), and a demographics questionnaire. The MPFI was administered three times in a row, with novel instructions provided for the 2nd and 3rd administration. Basically, participants were instructed to respond tot he MPFI as if they were someone who is very happy and content for one administration and as if they were someone who is very anxious and depressed for the other administration. The essential purpose of this study is to examine if the general public can respond to the MPFI based on these instructions in a manner witnessed in other correlational studies with these and other similar measures (i.e., anxious and depressed people tend to exhibit low flexibility and high inflexibility, while happy and content people tend to exhibit the opposite pattern).

description: Probabilities for two-neutron transfer reactions, $P_{\rm 2n}$, are often discussed in comparison with the square of the corresponding probabilities for one-neutron transfer process, $(P_{\rm 1n})^2$, implicitly assuming that $(P_{\rm 1n})^2$ provides the probability of two-neutron transfer reactions in the absence of the pairing correlation. We use a schematic coupled-channels model, in which the transfers are treated as effective inelastic channels, and demonstrate that this model leads to $P_{\rm 2n}=(P_{\rm 1n})^2/4$, rather than $P_{\rm 2n}=(P_{\rm 1n})^2$, in the pure sequential limit. We argue that a simple model with spin-up and spin-down neutrons in a single-particle orbital also leads to the same conclusion.

description: Structure and superfluid response of nanoscale size helium-four clusters enclosed in spherical cavities are studied by computer simulations. The curved surface causes the formation of well-defined concentric shells, thus imparting to the system a very different structure from that of free standing clusters. On a strongly attractive substrate, superfluidity is only observed at low density, in the single layer coating the inner surface of the cavity. If the substrate is very weak (e.g., Li), on the other hand, a superfluid two-shell structure can form, whose physical properties interpolate between two and three dimensions. It is shown how experimental signatures of this physical behavior can be detected through measurements of the momentum distribution.

description: This paper presents an anthropomorphic robotic bear for the exploration of human-robot interaction including verbal and non-verbal communications. This robot is implemented with a hybrid face composed of a mechanical faceplate with 10 DOFs and an LCD-display-equipped mouth. The facial emotions of the bear are designed based on the description of the Facial Action Coding System as well as some animal-like gestures described by Darwin. The mouth movements are realized by synthesizing emotions with speech. User acceptance investigations have been conducted to evaluate the likability of these facial behaviors exhibited by the eBear. Multiple Kernel Learning is proposed to fuse different features for recognizing user's facial expressions. Our experimental results show that the developed Bear-Like robot can perceive basic facial expressions and provide emotive conveyance towards human beings.
Strong optical force acting on a dipolar particle over a multilayer substrate

description: Optical forces acting on nano-sized particles are typically too small to be useful for particle manipulation. We theoretically and numerically demonstrate a mechanism that can significantly enhance the optical force acting on a small particle through a special type of resonant particle-substrate coupling. The resonance arises from the singular behavior of the particle's effective polarizablity in the presence of a metal-dielectric-metal multilayer substrate. We show that this phenomenon is closely related to the existence of a flat-band plasmon mode supported by the multilayer substrate.

description: Dental caries is a chronic disease that affects the health of an individual in many negative ways, and to treat it in the conventional way, it is necessary to use instruments that lead to a large production of aerosol. However, after the emergence of COVID-19, a disease whose transmission occurs through contact with contaminated droplets and aerosols, organizations such as the American Dental Association began to recommend that aerosol production should be reduced to a minimum, but also to recommend that non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures should be adopted to avoid cross-infection by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Mapping those minimally invasive procedures is important for the present moment, but also for the post-pandemic scenario. Applying these treatments helps ensure the population is not denied health care, meanwhile measures are implemented to reduce cross-infection by SARS-COV-2. This review aims to map the available minimally invasive treatments and their evidence, to be used in the management of dental caries in times of COVID-19. The proposed scoping review will be conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology. In addition, the study will follow the PCC (Participants; Concept and Context) methodology.

description: Could there be a Third World War? One may consider the issue through a French theater play written in 1935 by Jean Giraudoux, whose title translates as: “The Trojan War Will Not Take Place”, also “Tiger At The Gates”. The play has been popular ever since it was published, as it has been always considered relevant. Like the Iliad of Homer, its primary model, Giraudoux’s work has become a classic read and taught at school in France. The article focuses on two scenes. First, why is the burning of Troy only alluded to, although the theme is central to the entire play? Second, how does the dramatic encounter between Trojan Hector and Greek Odysseus appear as a universal attempt to defeat Fate and not to go at war?

description: It has been shown that semantic information, even when task-irrelevant, may bias attention during visual search. To further test the hypothesis that task-irrelevant semantic information influences attentional allocation, we modify a paradigm that is based on a previous study (Malcolm et al., 2016), where a salient distractor will be added into each trial to capture attention. We will examine the effect of semantic information on distractor capture, and whether/how they combine to influence visual search.

description: Iron and light are two important abiotic factors that influence diatom growth and distribution in the Southern Ocean (SO). Through a combination of physiological and transcriptomic approaches, I have explored the molecular underpinnings of nine SO diatoms that allow for adaptation and/or acclimation to low iron and light conditions. SO diatoms used in this study ranged across five orders of magnitude in size and displayed various degrees of resistance to iron and light limitation. Specifically, we investigated the presence or absence of 22 key genes involved in iron acquisition and homeostasis, photosynthesis, and nitrogen assimilation. SO diatoms have a variety of unique resource utilization strategies coupled with gene repertoires that allow them to take advantage of ecological niches or play important roles in phytoplankton blooms. Certain diatom genes, such as B12-independent methionine synthase (MetE) and flavodoxin, were found to exhibit biogeographical patterns in distribution that favor high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll regions.

Across the Great Wall: The Politics and Economics of Transmission in Disney's Mulan
Creators: name: Pearce, Laura
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School

Subjects: Folklore

description: Film adaptations of folktales have been examined from many angles, but not as a form of folktale transmission. In the era of globalization, these films play a large role, especially in transmitting folklore between cultures. As an example of this, I examine Disney's Mulan, which brought a folktale well-known in China to an American and global audience unfamiliar with the source material. In order to understand the process and implications of Mulan's transmission, I employ World Systems Theory and the work of Arjun Appadurai. This illuminates how the folktale was appropriated, the exchanges the film inspired, and the impact the film has had.

The call for America: German-American relations and the European crisis, 1921-1924/25
Creators: name: Swartzburg, Mark Ellis
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This study examines German-American relations during the European general crisis of 1921-1924/5. After World War I, Germany's primary foreign policy goal was to engage the United States, whose assistance was seen as essential for the economic and diplomatic rehabilitation of Germany. America recognized that the rehabilitation of Germany was necessary for its long range goal of aiding peaceful European reconstruction through private loans and investments. Having failed to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, America had to establish bilateral relations with Germany. However the complex interplay of domestic and international politics in each nation resulted in a relationship which proceeded in a series of steps characterized by expediency imposed by the domestic politics of the United States. Following this pattern were the Treaty of Berlin of 1921 (which established a separate peace with Germany), the Mixed Claims Agreement of 1922 (which was created to resolve war claims), and the Commercial Treaty of 1924. The American-German relationship was also central to the resolution of the complex international problem of war debts and reparations. Political conflict in Germany over distribution of the war's costs among various social and economic groups kept it from making credible reparations proposals and engaging the United States, which disengaged further in response to the January 1923 French/Belgian occupation of the Ruhr and Germany's reactive policy of passive resistance. Due to optimism over Germany's ending of passive resistance and institution of domestic economic reforms together with concern about the chaos in Germany caused by the occupation, American opinion shifted and the Coolidge administration called for an inquiry into the reparation problem by a committee of experts. The resulting 1924 Dawes Plan and the London agreements established a reparations settlement and modification the Versailles Treaty on Anglo-American terms. This opened the way for American financial underwriting of German reconstruction and the resolution of the European crisis.

description: We present late-time Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ultraviolet (UV) and optical observations of the site of SN 2011dh in the galaxy M51, ~1164 days post-explosion. At the SN location, we observe a point source that is visible at all wavelengths, that is significantly fainter than the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the Yellow Supergiant progenitor observed prior to explosion. The previously reported photometry of the progenitor is, therefore, completely unaffected by any sources that may persist at the SN location after explosion. In comparison with the previously reported late-time photometric evolution of SN 2011dh, we find that the light curve has plateaued at all wavelengths. The SED of the late-time source is clearly inconsistent with a SED of stellar origin. Although the SED is bright at UV wavelengths, there is no strong evidence that the late-time luminosity originates solely from a stellar source corresponding to the binary companion, although a partial contribution to the observed UV flux from a companion star can not be ruled out.

Zircon U-Pb geochronology of the Great Valley Group: recalibrating the lower cretaceous time scale
Creators: name: Shimokawa, Ayumi
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Four new zircon U-Pb ages for volcanic horizons from the Great Valley Group require adjustments to parts of the Lower Cretaceous Time Scale: a Lower Aptian concordia age of 124.07±0.13 Ma is in good agreement with the Global Time Scale 2008 Barremian-Aptian boundary age of 125.0 Ma, but Upper Berriasian (138.46±0.15 Ma) and two Lower Valanginian ages (137.63±0.14 Ma, 133.66±0.14 Ma) shift the Berriasian-Valanginian and Valanginian-Hauterivian boundaries to 138 Ma and 133 Ma, respectively. These new boundary ages, relative to previous estimations, indicate longer Berriasian and shorter Valanginian stage durations, which 1) adjust the timing of the Valanginian delta 13C positive excursion so that it is synchronous with the main pulse of the Paran-Etendeka flood basalt volcanism, 2) require a faster seafloor spreading rate during the Valanginian than previously assumed, and 3) suggest a sharper calcareous nannofossil species diversity peak during the Hauterivian.

description: Myopia is highly prevalent and especially harmful to the healthy development of teenagers' physical and mental health. Previous studies found central contrast sensitivity loss in high myopia cases even after spectacle correction. However, the defects in these individuals under external noise conditions have not been addressed. In the current work, we aimed to identify the differences in contrast sensitivity (CS) between emmetropia and corrected high myopia in noisy environments and reveal the mechanisms of those differences by a perceptual template model (PTM).
Bidirectional Warping of Active Appearance Model

description: Active Appearance Model (AAM) is a commonly used method for facial image analysis with applications in face identification and facial expression recognition. This paper proposes a new approach based on image alignment for AAM fitting called bidirectional warping. Previous approaches warp either the input image or the appearance template. We propose to warp both the input image, using incremental update by an affine transformation, and the appearance template, using an inverse compositional approach. Our experimental results on Multi-PIE face database show that the bidirectional approach outperforms state-of-the-art inverse compositional fitting approaches in extracting landmark points of faces with shape and pose variations.
