description: We study exclusive dijet production in coherent diffractive processes in deep inelastic scattering and real (and virtual) photon-hadron ($γ^{(*)}$-h) collisions in the Color Glass Condensate formalism at leading order. We show that the diffractive dijet cross section is sensitive to the color-dipole orientation in the transverse plane, and is a good probe of possible correlations between the $q\bar{q}$-dipole transverse separation vector $\r$ and the dipole impact parameter $\b$. We also investigate the diffractive dijet azimuthal angle correlations and $t$-distributions in $γ^{(*)}$-h collisions and show that they are sensitive to gluon saturation effects in the small-$x$ region. In particular, we show that the $t$-distribution of diffractive dijet photo-production off a proton target exhibits a dip-type structure in the saturation region. This effect is similar to diffractive vector meson production. Besides, at variance with the inclusive case, the effect of saturation leads to stronger azimuthal correlations between the jets.

description: Research Question: Can we train the time-series model using the history of revenues to forecast and predict future revenues? This Data analytics study aims to prepare the history of revenue data and train the time-series model to predict and forecast future revenue. Data stationarity is the common assumption in time series, a stationary process has the property that the mean, variance, and autocorrelation structure do not change over time. Stationarity can be defined in precise mathematical terms, but for our purpose, we mean a flat-looking series, without trend, constant variance over time, a constant autocorrelation structure over time, and no periodic fluctuations. (NIST 2021) Autocorrelation is the coefficient of correlation between two values in the time series. (PSU 2021)
description: The Data Analysis study used the auto_arima to generate the optimal p, d, and q values; the auto_arima model selected the values (1,0,0) (1,1,0,50) as the optimal values based on the lowest AIC (Akaike Information Criterion) 1189.640.

description: The properties of ultracold quantum gases of bosons with dipole-dipole interaction is investigated at finite temperature in the frame of the representative ensembles theory. Self-consistent coupled equations of motion are derived for the condensate and the non-condensate components. Corrections due to the dipolar interaction to the condensate depletion, the anomalous density and thermodynamic quantities such as the ground state energy, the equation of state, the compressibility and the presure are calculated in the homogeneous case at both zero and finite temperatures. Effects of interaction and temperature on the structure factor are also discussed. Within the realm of the local density approximation, we generalize our results to the case of a trapped dipolar gas.

Variation of [222]Rn in Public Drinking Water Supplies
Creators: name: Drane, William K.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed regulating [222]Rn (radon) in public drinking water as a carcinogen. When implemented, the proposed regulation will require periodic sampling to demonstrate compliance. This study evaluated the ability of the proposed sampling schedule to characterize the average [222]Rn activity in a groundwater source. In this study, biweekly samples were taken at fourteen wells over sampling periods ranging from two to seven months. Two previous studies provided additional data to characterize [222]Rn behavior over longer time periods: thirteen months for six wells and twenty-six months for three wells. These data show temporal variation in [222]Rn activity. Of the 1,468 samples from all three studies, approximately 97 percent were within 30 percent of their associated mean. Several special studies were performed in support of the main study. The most important finding was that moderate sample volume variations do not affect counting efficiency.
UNCMOBILE4-An Emission Factor Model For Flexible Fueled Vehicles

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: UNCMOBILE4 is a mobile source emission factor model that has been designed to include the benefits of a fuel switch toward methanol fuel in future scenarios. UNCM0BILE4 is a modified version of EPA's emission factor model M0BILE4. MOBILE4's overall structure is kept. Two vehicle classes, Light Duty Flexible fueled vehicles running on Methanol (LDFM) and Light Duty Flexible fueled vehicles running on Gasoline (LDFG), have been added to the original eight vehicle classes of the EPA model. UNCMOBILE4 provides HC, CO and NOx average emission rates from in-use methanol-fueled cars and from vehicle fleets of changing composition under a wide range of conditions. The LDFM and LDFG calculations are mostly based on data from Gabele (1990). Some correction factor calculations are the same as for Light Duty Gasoline Vehicles (LDGV) until explicit research data becomes available. The model has been prepared in a way that the extensive but not yet released data from the Auto/Oil study on flexible fueled cars can be inserted.

Synthesis and Characterization of Two Tetraarylporphyrins with Highly Electron-Withdrawing Substituents
Creators: name: Roberts, Dawn-Alita
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: The proposed intermediate for the heme-enzymes, cytochrome P-450, horseradish peroxidase, and chloroperoxidase, is an oxoferryl porphyrin π-cation radical. Therefore, iron porphyrins are used to study heme-enzymes and to study the influence of substituents on physicochemical properties of the porphyrin macrocycle. Spin-spin coupling (between the ferryl iron unpaired electrons and the porphyrin radical electron) is used as a criterion for comparison between synthetic porphyrins and heme-proteins. In this study, two tetraarylporphyrins with highly electron-withdrawing substituents on the meso-phenyls are synthesized, and a new method for work-up of 5-(2,6-dinitrophenyl)-10,15,20-tris-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)porphyrin (TDCPDNPP) is reported. A method reported herein provides a significant increase in yields for porphyrins with meso-substituted o-dinitrophenyls. The oxoferryl TDCPDNPP porphyrin π-cation radical is compared to the oxoferryl tetramesitylporphyrin π-cation radical (TMP). Because the oxoferryl TDCPDNPP π-cation radical has highly electron-withdrawing nitro-groups and different molecular orbital symmetry than the TMP, its spin-spin coupling was expected to be weakened, but remains strongly ferromagnetic. These results would support evidence that substitutions on the meso-phenyls do not cause a significant enough perturbation in unpaired spin density on the porphyrin macrocycle to change spin-spin coupling.

description: The export of hazardous wastes as defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and unregistered agricultural pesticides raises many technical, environmental, health, legal, economic, and ethical questions. A comparison of certain aspects of the regulations governing the export of these chemicals, the types and amounts of chemicals exported, the nations of import, and the handling of these chemicals once in the importing nations indicates that unregistered pesticides are a greater threat to the public health and environment of the importing nation than hazardous wastes. Alternatives to the current export policies are suggested.

description: The standard recurrent neural network language model (RNNLM) generates sentences one word at a time and does not work from an explicit global sentence representation. In this work, we introduce and study an RNN-based variational autoencoder generative model that incorporates distributed latent representations of entire sentences. This factorization allows it to explicitly model holistic properties of sentences such as style, topic, and high-level syntactic features. Samples from the prior over these sentence representations remarkably produce diverse and well-formed sentences through simple deterministic decoding. By examining paths through this latent space, we are able to generate coherent novel sentences that interpolate between known sentences. We present techniques for solving the difficult learning problem presented by this model, demonstrate its effectiveness in imputing missing words, explore many interesting properties of the model's latent sentence space, and present negative results on the use of the model in language modeling.

description: This paper proposes a test for missing at random (MAR). The MAR assumption is shown to be testable given instrumental variables which are independent of response given potential outcomes. A nonparametric testing procedure based on integrated squared distance is proposed. The statistic’s asymptotic distribution under the MAR hypothesis is derived. In particular, our results can be applied to testing missing completely at random (MCAR). A Monte Carlo study examines finite sample performance of our test statistic. An empirical illustration analyzes the nonresponse mechanism in labor income questions.

Providing Quality Drinking Water in Carp Road Community in Wake County, NC
Creators: name: Du, Yang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: North Carolina defines extraterritorial jurisdictions (ETJs) as areas outside but within 1-3 miles of a municipality. Historically, some African American communities were intentionally zoned into ETJs, in order to legally deny them municipal services, and some communities remain in these exclusionary zones. This project focuses on one such community, located in Wake County, NC. Evidence suggests that this community's domestic wells are at risk of microbial contamination. I evaluated the net present costs over 30 years of three options for protecting these households from waterborne contaminants: extending municipal water service, installing point-of-use treatment, and delivering bottled water. Net social benefits were compared to health costs of taking no action. The net social benefits of extending water service, providing point-of-use treatment and delivering bottled water are -$37,559, -$97,322 and -$620,299, respectively. By comparison, the net social benefit of no action is estimated as -$30,114. Although more costly than no action, I recommend extending community water service to the Carp Road Community as a long-term plan and delivering bottled water as a short-term option until the residents have the community water service to ensure the community has access to clean water.

description: Under very general assumptions of metric theory of spacetime, photons traveling along null geodesics and photon number conservation, two observable concepts of cosmic distance, i.e. the angular diameter and the luminosity distances are related to each other by the so-called distance duality relation (DDR) $D^L=D^A(1+z)^2$. Observational validation of this relation is quite important because any evidence of its violation could be a signal of new physics. In this paper we introduce a new method to test DDR based on strong gravitational lensing systems and type Ia supernovae under a flat universe. The method itself is worth attention, because unlike previously proposed techniques, it does not depend on all other prior assumptions concerning the details of cosmological model. We tested it using a new compilation of strong lensing systems and JLA compilation of type Ia supernovae and found no evidence of DDR violation. For completeness, we also combined it with previous cluster data and showed its power on constraining DDR. It could become a promising new probe in the future in light of forthcoming massive strong lensing surveys and because of expected advances in galaxy cluster modlelling.

description: The immunotoxicity of TCDD in the mouse has been well documented. To date, the most sensitive endpoint of TCDD-induced immunotoxicity in mice is that reported by Clark et al. (Proc.Soc.Exp.Biol.Med. 168:290, 1981) who found that TCDD suppressed the murine cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL) response at levels as low as 4ng/kg. However, these data have not been corroborated, as other laboratories have been unable to detect immunosuppression by TCDD at such low levels. In this study, we evaluated the effect of TCDD on the in vivo and in vitro generated CTL response to P-815 mastocytoma cells in adult C57BL/6J female mice via a 51cr release assay. Mice were given weekly intraperitoneal injections of TCDD or vehicle for four weeks at doses ranging from 0.01 to 3.00 μg/kg/week. No statistically significant suppression of the in vivo or in vitro CTL response was detected at any dose. As expected, significant increases in liver weights and decreases in thymus weights were observed at TCDD doses of 1.0 and 3.0 μg/kg/week. Likewise, suppression of the antibody plaque-forming cell response to sheep erythrocytes was suppressed at doses of 1.0 and 3.0 μg/kg/week TCDD. Though expected humoral immunosuppression and organ effects were observed, our data do not support suppression of murine CTL responses at the TCDD doses employed in this study.

description: In this work, we present limits on natural supersymmetry scenarios based on searches in data taken during run 1 of the LHC. We consider a set of 22000 model points in a six dimensional parameter space. These scenarios are minimal in the sense of only keeping those superparticles relatively light that are required to cancel the leading quadratically divergent quantum corrections (from the top and QCD sector) to the Higgs mass in the Standard Model. The resulting mass spectra feature higgsinos as the lightest supersymmetric particle, as well as relatively light third generation $SU(2)$ doublet squarks and $SU(2)$ singlet stops and gluinos while assuming a Standard Model like Higgs boson. All remaining supersymmetric particles and Higgs bosons are assumed to be decoupled. We check each parameter set against a large number of LHC searches as implemented in the public code {\tt CheckMATE}. These searches show a considerable degree of complementarity, i.e. in general many searches have to be considered in order to check whether a given scenario is allowed. We delineate allowed and excluded regions in parameter space. For example, we find that all scenarios where either $m_{\tilde t_1} < 230$ GeV or $m_{\tilde g} < 440$ GeV are clearly excluded, while all model points where $m_{\tilde t_1} > 660$ GeV and $m_{\tilde g} > 1180$ GeV remain allowed.

description: Opioid overdose remains a significant public health issue in the United States and is the leading cause of accidental death. Naloxone has become increasingly accessible, with greater emphasis placed by health systems and pharmacies on distribution of the safety tool. While the utility of pharmacists in advancing this work is clear, there is limited research on the success of integrating pharmacy students into a naloxone outreach program. The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate the success of integrating pharmacy student interns into a naloxone telephone outreach service for Veteran patients at risk for opioid overdose. A telephone outreach protocol was developed and reviewed by Clinical Pharmacist Practitioners (CPPs) at the site. Pharmacy student interns were trained to complete naloxone outreach calls, which were supervised by a CPP. In the first three months, 160 patients were identified for outreach based on prescription opioid risk factors. Of the 118 reached by telephone, 92 (78.0%) accepted naloxone and 26 (22.0%) declined. In total, 150 (93.8%) patients received naloxone education via either telephone discussion or letter. Integrating supervised pharmacy student interns into a naloxone telephone outreach service was feasible for interns and CPPs and resulted in a high naloxone acceptance rate.

description: We recover the classification of the maximally supersymmetric bosonic backgrounds of eleven-dimensional supergravity by Lie algebraic means. We classify all filtered deformations of the $\mathbb Z$-graded subalgebras $\mathfrak{h}=\mathfrak{h}_{-2}\oplus\mathfrak{h}_{-1}\oplus\mathfrak{h}_{0}$ of the Poincaré superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}_{-2}\oplus\mathfrak{g}_{-1}\oplus\mathfrak{g}_{0}=V\oplus S\oplus \mathfrak{so}(V)$ which differ only in zero degree, that is $\mathfrak{h}_0\subset\mathfrak{g}_0$ and $\mathfrak{h}_j=\mathfrak{g}_j$ for $j<0$. Aside from the Poincaré superalgebra itself and its $\mathbb Z$-graded subalgebras, there are only three other Lie superalgebras, which are the symmetry superalgebras of the non-flat maximally supersymmetric backgrounds.

Feminist Consciousness Scale
Creators: name: Garcia, Randi
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences
subject: Feminist; feminism; group consciousness

description: We introduce and validate a new measure of feminist consciousness, the Feminist Consciousness Scale (FCS) which is based on dominant social psychological theories of politicized social identities (Gurin, 1985; van Zomeren, Postmes, & Spears, 2008), and assesses identity, injustice, and efficacy components of feminist consciousness. In three studies, the 8-item, two-factor FCS demonstrated excellent model fit and validity for college women and more age- and ideologically-heterogeneous men and women. We also established measurement invariance between men and women, meaning that the scale can be used with members of both groups.

description: Opioid overdose remains a significant public health issue in the United States and is the leading cause of accidental death. Naloxone has become increasingly accessible, with greater emphasis placed by health systems and pharmacies on distribution of the safety tool. While the utility of pharmacists in advancing this work is clear, there is limited research on the success of integrating pharmacy students into a naloxone outreach program. The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate the success of integrating pharmacy student interns into a naloxone telephone outreach service for Veteran patients at risk for opioid overdose. A telephone outreach protocol was developed and reviewed by Clinical Pharmacist Practitioners (CPPs) at the site. Pharmacy student interns were trained to complete naloxone outreach calls, which were supervised by a CPP. In the first three months, 160 patients were identified for outreach based on prescription opioid risk factors. Of the 118 reached by telephone, 92 (78.0%) accepted naloxone and 26 (22.0%) declined. In total, 150 (93.8%) patients received naloxone education via either telephone discussion or letter. Integrating supervised pharmacy student interns into a naloxone telephone outreach service was feasible for interns and CPPs and resulted in a high naloxone acceptance rate.
Growing timescales and lengthscales characterizing vibrations of amorphous solids

description: Low-temperature properties of crystalline solids can be understood using harmonic perturbations around a perfect lattice, as in Debye's theory. Low-temperature properties of amorphous solids, however, strongly depart from such descriptions, displaying enhanced transport, activated slow dynamics across energy barriers, excess vibrational modes with respect to Debye's theory (i.e., a Boson Peak), and complex irreversible responses to small mechanical deformations. These experimental observations indirectly suggest that the dynamics of amorphous solids becomes anomalous at low temperatures. Here, we present direct numerical evidence that vibrations change nature at a well-defined location deep inside the glass phase of a simple glass former. We provide a real-space description of this transition and of the rapidly growing time and length scales that accompany it. Our results provide the seed for a universal understanding of low-temperature glass anomalies within the theoretical framework of the recently discovered Gardner phase transition.

Effects of Drinking Water Disinfection and Disinfection By-Products on Immune Fuction

description: A variety of adverse health effects have been associated with drinking water disinfectants and their by-products. Effects on immune function were evaluated in rats and mice following acute exposures to chlorine, bromodichloromethane(BDCM), bromoform(TBM), or dichloroacetic acid(DCA), which are all contaminants of treated drinking water. The chemicals were administered via drinking water or gavage,and a plaque forming cell(PFC) assay, a hemagglutination(HA) titer,or a lymphocyte proliferation(LP) assay was performed. Despite the adverse effects of these chemicals observed in past studies and the recent epidemiological findings linking cancer to treated drinking water, the present studies suggest that the immune system is not a principal target.
Large-$N$ pion scattering at finite temperature: the $f_0(500)$ and chiral restoration

description: We consider the $O(N+1)/O(N)$ Non-Linear Sigma Model for large $N$ as an effective theory for low-energy QCD at finite temperature $T$, in the chiral limit. At $T=0$ this formulation provides a good description of scattering data in the scalar channel and generates dynamically the $f_0(500)$ pole, the pole position lying within experimental determinations. Previous $T=0$ results with this model are updated using newer analysis of pion scattering data. We calculate the pion scattering amplitude at finite $T$ and show that it satisfies exactly thermal unitarity, which had been assumed but not formally proven in previous works. We discuss the main differences with the $T=0$ result and we show that one can define a proper renormalization scheme with $T=0$ counterterms such that the renormalized amplitude can be chosen to depend only on a few parameters. Next, we analyze the behaviour of the $f_0(500)$ pole at finite $T$, which is consistent with chiral symmetry restoration when the scalar susceptibility is saturated by the $f_0(500)$ state, in a second-order transition scenario and in accordance with lattice and theoretical analysis.

description: Horses were provided full-time housing in unfamiliar vector-protected facilities during the African horse sickness (AHS) outbreak in Thailand. This study aimed to investigate the impact of this housing arrangement on the equine stress response. Nine healthy horses were housed in both a traditional barn and a vector-protected barn. Equine behavior and stress response data were collected in association with the housing environment and time of day. The mean behavioral score of horses housed in the vector-protected barn was lower at night than during the day. In addition, the horses’ mean heart rate at night was lower than their heart rate during the day, irrespective of housing condition. Furthermore, although blood cortisol peaked at 6:00 AM and was lowest at 6:00 PM under both housing conditions, daily fluctuations in blood cortisol levels were correlated with changes in humidity and temperature in both environments. Finally, horses housed in the traditional barn exhibited earlier decreases in cortisol levels relative to the horses in the vector-protected barn. This result indicates that housing horses in vector-protected facilities may impose stress.

description: Protein synthesis is frequently dysregulated in cancer cells; such conditions are known to favor aberrant cell growth and proliferation which lead to cancer. LARP1 is a novel target of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway, a circuitry often hyperactivated in cancer which regulates cell growth and proliferation primarily through the regulation of protein synthesis. I aimed to determine if LARP1 plays a role in cancer progression by comparing its expression in normal versus cancer tissues. My results demonstrate that LARP1 expression is altered (lost or overexpressed) in various cancers and correlates with cancer patients survival. My systematic bioinformatics assessment, the results of my functional assays assessing the effect of LARP1 knockdown on cancer cells, together with my antibody validation do not only provide new insights for its role in cancer progression and mRNA translation, but also emphasizes the potential of LARP1 as a cancer therapeutic target.

The role of facial expressions in social decision-making

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Research has shown that genuine smiles are valued more than polite smiles (Shore & Heerey, 2011). There is also research suggesting that individuals are more accurate at recognising the emotions of social in-groups versus out-group members (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002), this could possibly be due to positivity bias (i.e. individuals who identify with a specific social group may perceive their expressions as more positive or genuine). The study will investigate whether the value of a smile differs according to whether it is expressed by an in-versus an out-group member. Further, this research intends to examine how implicit attitudes towards social in- and out-groups, and the importance of group-membership to self-identity relate to the valuation of smiles from in- and out-group members.
