A Systematic Review of the Genetics of the Atrial Fibrillation Paradox in Asian and Hispanic/Latinx Groups
Creators: name: Aladesanmi, Oludamilola
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac dysrhythmia in the world, leading to increased morbidity and mortality in affected populations. Previous research has demonstrated that underrepresented racial and ethnic groups (UREGs) are less likely to develop AF than whites despite possessing more risk factors, and genetic variations might contribute to this difference.
Objectives: In this review, we evaluate the literature for genetic polymorphisms contributing to the racial and ethnic differences seen in the epidemiology of patients with AF, focused here on results specific to Asian and Hispanic/Latinx populations. 
Methods and Results: A search of relevant studies from December 2000 to October 2018 was conducted using PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus and supplemented by a manual search of clinicaltrials.gov. We identified 136 studies, of which 100 were subsequently included. We identified four studies relevant to black groups, 30 studies to white groups, three studies to Hispanic and Latino groups, and 69 studies to Asian groups. We found numerous case-control genome-wide association studies (GWASs) as well as meta-analyses that corroborate the roles of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in conferring AF risk in these races and ethnicities.
Conclusions: Our analysis summarizes the identification and proposed mechanisms of AF-related SNPs within investigations of Asian and Hispanic/Latinx groups. Additional studies are needed to understand the differential risk of AF-associated SNPs as a function of race and ethnicity, specifically in UREGs for whom there is less data. Such information could change our understanding of the risk of AF, provide rationale for novel pharmacotherapy and research, and improve our treatment of AF among different races and ethnic groups.

description: Biopolymers are characterized by heterogeneous interactions, and usually perform their biological tasks forming contacts within domains of limited size. Combining polymer theory with a replica approach, we study the scaling properties of the probability of contact formation in random heteropolymers as a function of their linear distance. It is found that close or above the theta--point, it is possible to define a contact probability which is typical (i.e. "self-averaging") for different realizations of the heterogeneous interactions, and which displays an exponential cut--off, dependent on temperature and on the interaction range. In many cases this cut--off is comparable with the typical sizes of domains in biopolymers. While it is well known that disorder causes interesting effects at low temperature, the behavior elucidated in the present study is an example of a non--trivial effect at high temperature.

Thermoregulatory, Metabolic, and Cardiovascular Responses of Pregnant Women to Immersion and Immersion Exercise
Creators: name: Graetzer, Daniel Gunther
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1986

description: Twelve healthy women underwent 20 minute periods of immersion rest (THao = 30° C) and immersion exercise (60¾ predicted VOa max) during weeks 15, 25, and 35 of gestation and 8 weeks postpartum. Maternal core temp, heat storage, immersion tissue insulation, and exercise tissue conductance were maintained across trials. temps were 1.1°C lower during pregnancy to prevent heat losses during immersion and heat gains during exercise. Oxygen uptake, heart rate, and systolic
Skin blood pressure did not change with gestational timing during nonweight-bearing immersion exercise. The hydrostatic pressure of the water enabled exercise heart rates to be 17 bts/min lower than the predicted max land trials at the same energy expenditure. The heat dissipating and weight-supporting capacities of the water environment provided safe thermal, metabolic, and cardiovascular responses in pregnant women during aerobic exercise.

description: The main scope of this paper is to introduce valuation semirings in general and discrete valuation semirings in particular. In order to do that, first we define valuation maps and investigate them. Then we define valuation semirings with the help of valuation maps and prove that a multiplicatively cancellative semiring is a valuation semiring if and only if its ideals are totally ordered by inclusion. We also prove that if the unique maximal ideal of a valuation semiring is subtractive, then it is integrally closed. We end this paper by introducing discrete valuation semirings and show that a semiring is a discrete valuation semiring if and only if it is a multiplicatively cancellative principal ideal semiring possessing a nonzero unique maximal ideal. We also prove that a discrete valuation semiring is a Gaussian semiring if and only if its unique maximal ideal is subtractive.

Civility and Structural Precarity for Faculty of Color in LIS
Creators: name: Gibson, Amelia N.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Previous studies have established particular patterns of inequity, micro, and macro-aggressions that affect faculty of color at U.S. universities. This article provides an autoethnographic perspective on the experiences of women of color in LIS. It focuses specifically on the ways that prioritizing comfort and civility over equity and justice can create structural precarity – precarity that is built into academic systems of reward and punishment – for female faculty of color. The article also gives brief suggestions for resolving this issue.

description: The dispersion relation of ultracold atoms in variably shaped optical lattices can be tuned to resemble that of a relativistic particle, i.e. be linear instead of the usual nonrelativistic quadratic dispersion relation of a free atom. Cold atoms in such a lattice can be used to carry out quantum simulations of relativistic wave equation predictions. We begin this article by describing a Raman technique that allows to selectively load atoms into a desired Bloch band of the lattice near a band crossing. Subsequently, we review two recent experiments with quasirelativistic rubidium atoms in a bichromatic lattice, demonstrating the analogs of Klein tunneling and Veselago lensing with ultracold atoms respectively.

description: Although informal online learning communities are made possible by users' decisions to share their creations, participation by females and other marginalized groups remains stubbornly low in technical communities. Using descriptive statistics and a unique dataset of shared and unshared projects from over 1.1 million users of Scratch-a collaborative programming community for young people-we show that while girls share less initially, this trend flips among experienced users. Using Bayesian regression analyses, we show that this relationship can largely be attributed to differences in the way boys and girls participate. We also find that while prior positive feedback is correlated with increased sharing among inexperienced users, this effect also reverses with experience or with the addition of controls. Our findings provide a description of the dynamics behind online learners' decisions to share, open new research questions, and point to several lessons for system designers.

description: We present the depth-resolved nuclear resonance reflectivity (NRR) studies of the magnetization evolution in [57Fe(3 nm)/Cr(1.2 nm)]*10 multilayer under the applied external field. The measurements have been performed at the station BL09XU of SPring-8 at different values of the external field (from 0 up to 1500 Oe). We apply the joint fit of the delayed reflectivity curves and the time spectra of the nuclear resonance reflectivity measured at different grazing angles for enhancement of the depth resolution and reliability of the results. For the first time we show that the azimuth angle, which is used in all papers devoted to the magnetization profile determination, has more complicated physical sense due to the partially coherent averaging of the scattering amplitudes from magnetic lateral domains. We describe the way how to select the true azimuth angle from the determined "effective azimuth angle". Finally we obtain the noncollinear twisted magnetization depth-profiles where the spin flop state appears sequentially in different 57Fe layers at increasing applied field.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία αναλύεται η ικανότητα των οξυγαλακτικών βακτηρίων να ανταγωνίζεται την Listeria monocytogenes στα μαλακά τυριά. Η Listeria monocytogenes είναι ένα τροφογενές παθογόνο, το οποίο προκαλεί την τροφογενή λοίμωξη της λιστερίωσης, και αποτελεί σημαντικό κίνδυνο για της υγεία των καταναλωτών. Η εμφάνισή της στα τρόφιμα είναι πλέον σπάνια λόγω των προηγμένων συστημάτων ελέγχου που έχουν αναπτυχθεί, παρόλα αυτά όμως λόγω του μεγάλου ποσοστού θνησιμότητας από το οποίο διακατέχεται, καθώς και από την ανθεκτικότητα που την χαρακτηρίζει, αποτελεί σοβαρό ζήτημα για την βιομηχανία των τροφίμων. Το υπόστρωμα των μαλακών τυριών αποτελεί ιδανικό υπόστρωμα ανάπτυξης της L.monocytogenes, και δεδομένου ότι η κατανάλωση του δεν απαιτεί αναθέρμανση, είναι επιρρεπές και επικίνδυνο για την εμφάνιση κυττάρων L.monocytogenes. Τα βακτήρια του γαλακτικού οξέος (Lactic-Acid-Bacteria, LAB) αποτελούν σημαντικό κομμάτι της φυσιολογικής μικροχλωρίδας των τυριών και γενικά των γαλακτοκομικών προϊόντων. Η ύπαρξη τους για την διεκπεραίωση της ζυμωτικής διαδικασίας είναι απαραίτητη αφού είναι οι μικροοργανισμοί που ζυμώνουν την λακτόζη είτε αποκλειστικά προς γαλακτικό οξύ (ομοζυμωτικά βακτήρια), είτε προς γαλακτικό οξύ και άλλα προϊόντα (ετεροζυμωτική ζύμωση). Οι μεταβολές που προκαλεί στο τρόφιμο η δράση των οξυγαλακτικών βακτηρίων είναι κρίσιμες, διότι από αυτές εξαρτάται η τελική βιοχημική κατάσταση του τροφίμου (pH), κάτι που ενδεχομένως να αποτελέσει εμπόδιο για την ανάπτυξη παθογόνων μικροοργανισμών όπως είναι η Listeria monocytogenes. Η ανταγωνιστικότητα αυτή ωστόσο δεν είναι τόσο απλή, αποτελεί ένα πολύπλευρο ζήτημα που εξαρτάται από πολλές παραμέτρους και επηρεάζεται από πολλούς εξωγενείς και ενδογενείς παράγοντες. Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης πτυχιακής εργασίας είναι να αναλύσει στο μέτρο του δυνατού, την ανταγωνιστικότητα που έχει η δράση των οξυγαλακτικών βακτηρίων απέναντι στην κυτταρική ανάπτυξη της Listeria monocytogenes, να παραθέσει τους παράγοντες από τους οποίους επηρεάζεται, και να κατανοήσει σε ποιες συνθήκες έχουμε παρεμπόδιση της ανάπτυξης του παθογόνου listeria monocytogenes.
An After-School Program to Promote Physical Activity and In-Person Social Interaction Among Teens in Durham County, North Carolina
Creators: name: Mary Lyall Stokes

Year: 2019

description: 	Increased physical inactivity and increased screen time, a form of sedentary behavior, contribute to obesity and overweight among teenagers. After-school programs may be promising interventions for targeting adolescent health. This paper describes a proposed plan for an 18-month physical activity and in-person socialization program for teenagers, ages 13-18, in an after-school facility in Durham County, North Carolina. After a 6-month planning period, a 12-month intervention will be implemented, where teens will participate in seven, regularly scheduled weekly activities to promote physical activity, in-person social interaction, and education on health and screen time. Monthly celebrations to boost enjoyment and tri-monthly activities for program improvement will also be implemented. Participants’ perceptions, screen time, and physical activity will be measured at baseline, quarterly, and 12 months post-implementation. This program is expected to increase teen in-person social interaction and physical activity beyond the after-school environment.
Anisotropic mesh adaptation for 3D anisotropic diffusion problems with application to fractured reservoir simulation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Anisotropic mesh adaptation is studied for linear finite element solution of 3D anisotropic diffusion problems. The M-uniform mesh approach is used, where an anisotropic adaptive mesh is generated as a uniform one in the metric specified by a tensor. In addition to mesh adaptation, preservation of the maximum principle is also studied. Some new sufficient conditions for maximum principle preservation are developed, and a mesh quality measure is defined to server as a good indicator. Four different metric tensors are investigated: one is the identity matrix, one focuses on minimizing an error bound, another one on preservation of the maximum principle, while the fourth combines both. Numerical examples show that these metric tensors serve their purposes. Particularly, the fourth leads to meshes that improve the satisfaction of the maximum principle by the finite element solution while concentrating elements in regions where the error is large. Application of the anisotropic mesh adaptation to fractured reservoir simulation in petroleum engineering is also investigated, where unphysical solutions can occur and mesh adaptation can help improving the satisfaction of the maximum principle.

description: Current understanding of outcomes of cardiogenic shock (CS) in Asian populations is limited. We aim to study the clinical outcomes of CS in Asian population compared with non-Asians in the US. The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried between 2002-2019 to identify hospitalizations with CS. Race was classified as Asians and non-Asians. The adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for in-hospital outcomes were calculated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Of 1,573,285 CS hospitalizations, 48,398 (3%) were Asians and 1,524,887 (97%) were non-Asians between 2002-2019. Adjusted odds of in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.05), and use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) (aOR 1.15, 95% CI 1.12–1.17) were significantly higher among Asians compared with non-Asians. The in-hospital mean cost of hospitalization was higher in Asian population ($63,787±$80,261) with CS compared with non-Asians ($56,207±$76,120, p < 0.001). The use of Impella (aOR 0.90, 95% CI 0.86–0.95) and left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) (aOR 0.71, 95% CI 0.65–0.77) were lower with no difference in the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) compared with non-Asians. Asian populations with CS have higher in-hospital mortality, increased requirement of IABP and higher mean cost of hospitalization compared with non-Asians.

description: We consider arbitrary orderings of the edges entering each vertex of the (downward directed) Pascal graph. Each ordering determines an adic (Bratteli-Vershik) system, with a transformation that is defined on most of the space of infinite paths that begin at the root. We prove that for every ordering the coding of orbits according to the partition of the path space determined by the first three edges is essentially faithful, meaning that it is one-to-one on a set of paths that has full measure for every fully supported invariant probability measure. We also show that for every $k$ the subshift that arises from coding orbits according to the first $k$ edges is topologically weakly mixing. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for any adic system to be topologically conjugate to an odometer and use this condition to determine the probability that a random order on a fixed diagram, or a diagram constructed at random in some way, is topologically conjugate to an odometer. We also show that the closure of the union over all orderings of the subshifts arising from codings of the Pascal adic by the first edge has superpolynomial complexity, is not topologically transitive, and has no periodic points besides the two fixed points, while the intersection over all orderings consists of just four orbits.
Addressing the issue of Childhood Obesity in North Carolina through Implementation of MATCH Wellness Program
Creators: name: Sonia Ahmad
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This paper discusses the issue of childhood obesity in North Carolina. Childhood obesity is regarded as one of the most important public health challenges of the 21st century. It is identified as a national epidemic by the Surgeon General and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Poverty, economic instability, food insecurity, and a lack of access to chain supermarkets are the main contributors to the high levels of obesity in rural counties of NC. The paper discusses three key policy options to address this issue in North Carolina. 1) Increasing Access to Healthy Foods in NC: (Healthy Corner Store Initiative) 2) Reducing Food Insecurity in NC: child nutrition programs - National School Lunch Program (NSLP), and School Breakfast Program (SBP); Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). 3) Implementation of MATCH Wellness Program: Motivating Adolescents with Technology to Choose Health (School-based childhood obesity intervention).The paper concludes by recommending MATCH and how a school-based model such as MATCH holds great potential to reach great numbers of adolescents and prevent the development of obesity in counties of North Carolina that are at greater risk of poverty and food insecurity. No child should face an increased risk of obesity and obesity-associated diseases due to uncontrollable factors such as the family they are born into or the place they live in.

description: In the past decades, several detector technologies have been developed with the quest to directly detect dark matter interactions and to test one of the most important unsolved questions in modern physics. The sensitivity of these experiments has improved with a tremendous speed due to a constant development of the detectors and analysis methods, proving uniquely suited devices to solve the dark matter puzzle, as all other discovery strategies can only indirectly infer its existence. Despite the overwhelming evidence for dark matter from cosmological indications at small and large scales, a clear evidence for a particle explaining these observations remains absent. This review summarises the status of direct dark matter searches, focussing on the detector technologies used to directly detect a dark matter particle producing recoil energies in the keV energy scale. The phenomenological signal expectations, main background sources, statistical treatment of data and calibration strategies are discussed.

description: Statistical characteristics of the Kraichnan direct cascade for two-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence are numerically studied (with spatial resolution $8192\times 8192$) in the presence of pumping and viscous-like damping. It is shown that quasi-shocks of vorticity and their Fourier partnerships in the form of jets introduce an essential influence in turbulence leading to strong angular dependencies for correlation functions. The energy distribution as a function of modulus $k$ for each angle in the inertial interval has the Kraichnan behavior, $\sim k^{-4}$, and simultaneously a strong dependence on angles. However, angle average provides with a high accuracy the Kraichnan turbulence spectrum $E_k=C_Kη^{2/3} k^{-3}$ where $η$ is enstrophy flux and the Kraichnan constant $C_K\simeq 1.3$, in correspondence with the previous simulations. Familiar situation takes place for third-order velocity structure function $S_3^L$ which, as for the isotropic turbulence, gives the same scaling with respect to separation length $R$ and $η$, $S_3^L=C_3ηR^3$, but the mean over angles and time $\bar {C_3}$ differs from its isotropic value.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία ασχολείται με μεταφορά Ethernet υπηρεσιών σε MPLS δίκτυο. Το EoMPLS σημαίνει Ethernet over MPLS.Το Pseudowire είναι μια εξομοίωση μιας ενσύρματης σύνδεσης. Χρησιμοποιείται για την παροχή υπηρεσιών από άκρο σε άκρο σε ένα δίκτυο MPLS. To MPLS είναι μια τεχνολογία που μεταφέρει αρχιτεκτονικές πρωτοκόλλου όπως ΑΤΜ και Ethernet. Το MPLS εγγυάται την ποιότητα υπηρεσιών , εξασφαλίζει υψηλή ταχύτητα μεταφορά πακέτων και διασφαλίζει μεταξύ άλλων την επικοινωνία μεταξύ των δρομολογητών εντός του κυρίου δικτύου. Αυτή η τεχνολογία έχει πολλά πλεονεκτήματα όπως η καλή απόδοση δικτύου χωρίς να χρειάζεται να αλλάξουμε ολόκληρο το σύστημα. Δυναμικά, transparent δίκτυα L2 με υποστήριξη για traffic engineering. Χρησιμοποιούμε το Ethernet για όλες τις τοποθεσίες ανεξάρτητα από τη θέση. Πειραματικά σε ένα IP/MPLS δίκτυο θα δούμε κάποια σενάρια με διάφορες τεχνικές MPLS L2 VPN (VPWS-AtoM). Στο πρώτο μέρος θα αποδείξουμε ότι κάθε VLAN αντικατοπτρίζεται με ένα Pseudowire circuit. Θα αποδώσουμε Layer 2 επικοινωνία μεταξύ κόμβων που ανήκουν στον ίδιο πελάτη. Έπειτα το attachment circuit (AC) είναι ένα Ethernet VLAN trunk, οι διεπαφές των Carrier Ethernet (CE) δρομολογητών συνδέονται με τους provider edge route (PE) δρομολογητές με 802.1Q sub interfaces. Στο δεύτερο μέρος θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε Eompls μέσω EVC (Ethernet Virtual Circuits). Aυτό θα μας προσφέρει σε οικονομικό επίπεδο γιατί έτσι δεν θα δεσμεύουμε μια φυσική διεπαφή στους PE δρομολογητές για την εξυπηρέτηση κάθε καινούριου πελάτη. Το τρίτο και τελευταίο μέρος θα υπάρξει η δυνατότητα backup L2 VPN κύκλωμα για την διασφάλιση της παροχής υπηρεσιών. Αυτό μας το διασφαλίζει το L2VPN Pseudowire Redundancy. Αυτό γίνεται μέσω μιας εναλλακτικής διαδρομής που βρίσκει το δίκτυο όταν η σύνδεση μεταξύ δρομολογητών αποτύχει.

description: Mathematical morphology (MM) helps to describe and analyze shapes using set theory. MM can be effectively applied to binary images which are treated as sets. Basic morphological operators defined can be used as an effective tool in image processing. Morphological operators are also developed based on graph and hypergraph. These operators have found better performance and applications in image processing. Bino et al. [8], [9] developed the theory of morphological operators on hypergraph. A hypergraph structure is considered and basic morphological operation erosion/dilation is defined. Several new operators opening/closing and filtering are also defined on the hypergraphs. Hypergraph based filtering have found comparatively better performance with morphological filters based on graph. In this paper we evaluate the effectiveness of hypergraph based ASF on binary images. Experimental results shows that hypergraph based ASF filters have outperformed graph based ASF.

description: Σήμερα, ένα καλό και ποιοτικό προϊόν δεν αρκεί απο μόνο του για να κατακτήσει την κορυφή. Υπάρχεί τεράστια ποικιλία εναλλακτικών επιλογών και σαφώς η εικόνα και η επικοινωνία της επιχείρησης και του προϊόντος τείνουν να κατέχουν τον πρωταρχικό ρόλο, όσον αφορά την επιτυχία του προϊόντος. Η διαχείρηση των ενώσεων ανάμεσα σε ενα Brand και των αναμνήσεων στο μυαλό του κοινού του brand μπορεί να επιτευχθεί μόνο μέσο της εταιρικης ταυτότητας, η οποία περιλαμβάνει την επικέντρωση των πόρων σε επιλεγμένα υλικά και χαρακτηριστικά - ιδιότητες για τη διαφοροποίηση του brand σε ένα ελκυστικό, ουσιαστικό και συναρπαστικό τρόπο για το κοινό στο οποίο απευθύνεται. Έτσι προκύπτει και το θέμα της πτυχιακής εργασίας, το οποίο αφορά την ανάγκη δημιουργίας εταιρικής ταυτότητας και επικοινωνιακής καμπάνιας μιας οικογενειακής επιχείρησης που ασχολείται με την θερμοκηπιακή καλλιέργεια και την λιανική (στην δημοτική αγορά) και χονδρική (σε εμπόρους και καταστήματα εστίασης) πώληση, κηπευτικών προϊόντων. Στόχος της επιχείρησης είναι «Να γίνει η νούμερο 1 επιχείρηση στον νομό Τρικάλων και το brand της να συνδέεται άμεσα με το κύριο προϊόν της που είναι η ντομάτα». Μέσο της εταιρικής ταυτότητας,εταιρικών εντύπων και σχεδιαστικών εφαρμογών σε συνδυασμό με την ιστοσελίδα και το προφίλ στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτίωσης, η επιχείρηση αναζητά την επικοινωνία της διαχρονικότητας και της εμπειρίας της.

description: Two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures have emerged as a new class of materials for not only fundamental physics but also for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Black phosphorus (BP) is a relatively new addition to this class of materials. Its strong in plane anisotropy makes BP a unique material to make conceptually new type of electronic devices. However, the global density of states (DOS) of BP in device geometry has not been measured experimentally. Here we report the quantum capacitance measurements together with conductance measurements on a hBN protected few layer BP ($\sim$ 6 layer) in a dual gated field effect transistor (FET) geometry. The measured DOS from our quantum capacitance is compared with the density functional theory (DFT). Our results reveal that the transport gap for quantum capacitance is smaller than that in conductance measurements due to the presence of localized states near the band edge. The presence of localized states is confirmed by the variable range hopping seen in our temperature-dependence conductivity. A large asymmetry is observed between the electron and hole side. The asymmetric nature is attributed to the anisotropic band dispersion of BP. Our measurements establish the uniqueness of quantum capacitance in probing the localized states near the band edge, hitherto not seen in the conductance measurements.

description: In elections, people often have to decide between voting for their preferred candidate or supporting a less appealing but more viable alternative. However, we know surprisingly little about what enables citizens to navigate these strategic trade-offs. Combining experimental and observational evidence from the UK, we differentiate three crucial preconditions for strategic voting---motivation, information, and capabilities---and provide converging evidence illuminating how these factors interact. Specifically, we hypothesize that high levels of motivation---while having only little direct impact on strategic voting---are a necessary condition for the beneficial effects of information and capabilities to manifest.

description: Pharmacopuncture is a traditional medicine treatment combining acupuncture and herbal medicines that originated in China and has been actively studied since the 1960s. Recently, various herbal extracts for use in it have been developed and used eﬀectively for various diseases. Currently, it is widely used as one of the major treatment techniques in Korea. However, compared to its effectiveness, studies on its safety are poor. Therefore, we review all kinds of clinical studies to investigate the incidence and characteristics of AEs associated with Pharmacopuncture treatment in Korea and assess the safety of Pharmacopuncture.
