description: Visuospatial attention and gaze control depend on the interaction of foveal and peripheral processing. The foveal and peripheral regions of the visual field are differentially sensitive to parts of the spatial-frequency spectrum. In two experiments, we investigated how the selective attenuation of spatial frequencies in the central or the peripheral visual field affects eye-movement behavior during real-world scene viewing. Gaze-contingent low-pass or high-pass filters with varying filter levels (i.e., cutoff frequencies; Experiment 1) or filter sizes (Experiment 2) were applied. Compared to unfiltered control conditions, mean fixation durations increased most with central high-pass and peripheral low-pass filtering. Increasing filter size prolonged fixation durations with peripheral filtering, but not with central filtering. Increasing filter level prolonged fixation durations with low-pass filtering, but not with high-pass filtering. These effects indicate that fixation durations are not always longer under conditions of increased processing difficulty. Saccade amplitudes largely adapted to processing difficulty: amplitudes increased with central filtering and decreased with peripheral filtering; the effects strengthened with increasing filter size and filter level. In addition, we observed a trade-off between saccade timing and saccadic selection, since saccade amplitudes were modulated when fixation durations were unaffected by the experimental manipulations. We conclude that interactions of perception and gaze control are highly sensitive to experimental manipulations of input images as long as the residual information can still be accessed for gaze control.

description: Facial impressions (e.g., trustworthy, assertive) have long been thought to be evoked by morphological variation (e.g., upturned mouth) in a universal, fixed manner. However, recent research suggests that these impressions vary considerably across different perceivers and targets’ social group memberships. We investigated whether stereotypes at the intersection of race and gender may be a critical factor underlying this variability in facial impressions. In Study 1, we found that not only did facial impressions vary by targets’ gender and race, but the structure of these impressions was predicted by the structure of stereotype knowledge. Study 2 extended these findings by demonstrating that individual differences in perceivers’ own unique stereotype associations predicted the structure of their own facial impressions. Together, the findings suggest that the structure of our impressions of others’ faces is driven not only by the morphological variation of the face, but also our own learned stereotypes about social groups.

Analysis of Water Metering For Small Communities in Honduras

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1986

description: It appears that many problems associated with the key water system management tasks in the small communities of Honduras could be solved if water were treated as a marketable good. This would involve the use of meters along with a pricing system that in principle should set the price equal to the marginal cost. This paper first discusses the theoretical aspects of using meters along with a marginal cost pricing scheme and how this could help to solve the system management problems in Honduras. Then, an examination is made of the practical aspects involved in running a metering system as it is done by a well organized utility in the United States. Finally, an assessment is made of implementing metering systems in the small communities of Honduras in light of the practical considerations. In general, the problems involved in such implementation would appear to make it impracticable, at least for the vast majority of systems. Honduras needs to strengthen its institutions before it can turn to widespread metering.

description: The Blue-Cloud Service platform will enable, among other services, discovery and access of digital objects from the marine science domain via the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) framework. For that purpose, the Discovery and Data Access Service which Blue-Cloud is developing will be made accessible through the EOSC Portal, by harvesting metadata from the domain-specific Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service and publishing in EUDAT-B2FIND, EOSC's generic and interdisciplinary discovery service. This allows end-users to search on a cross-domain level in B2FIND, easily accessible to all EOSC users via the EOSC Portal Catalogue and Marketplace . It goes without saying that the more detailed and fine-grained search capabilities of the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service – and of each Blue Data Infrastructures – are not replaced or affected by this undertaking, which is an enhancement of the visibility and findability of marine data also towards other research domains, such as climate sciences or food and agriculture sciences. This deliverable illustrates conceptually the interfacing of data discovery and access of Blue-Cloud data resources with EOSC. The technical implementation comprises the exposure of metadata of the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access service and the harvesting by B2FIND and will be carried out as soon as the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access Service has been launched and is operational.

description: The objectives of this study were to compare the extent of deposition in drain pipes behind different waterless urinal systems and to determine the nature of those deposits. Urinals were removed from the walls of men's restrooms in different buildings on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus and at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and samples of mineral deposits in the drain pipes were collected. Upon analysis of these mineral deposits, it was determined that the deposits are composed primarily of struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate). This determination was made using x-ray diffraction analysis, and the results were confirmed using scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, a chemical equilibrium model was used to simulate the hydrolysis of urea in the drain lines behind water-free urinals and determine the equilibrium pH of the system as urea hydrolyzes. This model showed that water-free urinal collection systems are oversaturated with respect to struvite, calcite, and calcium hydroxylapatite, indicating that these minerals are likely to deposit in these systems.

Viability of Cultured Primary Human Skin Cells Treated with 1,6-Hexamethylene Diisocyanate Monomer and its Oligomer Isocyanurate
Creators: name: Phillips, Kaitlyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The diisocyanate monomer 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and its oligomer HDI isocyanurate are components in sprayed polyurethane coatings. Exposure via the lungs and skin can lead to allergic sensitization and asthma. Research on these compounds has focused on effects of exposure on respiratory and immune cells and variation in gene expression, pathway activation, and mechanisms influencing toxic response. Here, we focused on the toxic effects of HDI monomer and HDI isocyanurate on three types of cultured primary human skin cells, namely keratinocytes, melanocytes, and fibroblasts. To determine the cell-type specific toxicity, we used a luminescent ATP-viability assay. The dose-response data indicated that sensitivity to death varied among the different skin cell types and death by necrosis. The observed variations in toxicity between the HDI monomer and HDI isocyanurate as well as between the cell types may have important implications for developing an adverse effect, for regulatory limits, and for worker safety.

description: Gaze cueing refers to the tendency for people to respond faster to targets that appear at gazed-at locations rather than those that are gazed away from. However, although this effect has been widely studied, there has been no formal, model based, mechanistic decomposition of the effect. Using a computational evidence accumulation modelling framework – specifically, the diffusion decision model – we test several potential explanations for why the gaze cueing effect occurs.

description: In this paper we study a sharp interface limit for a stochastic reaction-diffusion equation. We consider the case that the noise is a space-time white noise multiplied by a small parameter and a smooth function which has a compact support. We show a generation of interfaces for one-dimensional stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with general initial values. We prove that interfaces are generated in a time of logarithmic order. After the generation of interfaces, we connect it to the motion of interfaces which was investigated by Funaki for special initial values.

description: We discuss prospects for probing short-range sterile neutrino oscillation using neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering with ultra-low energy ($\sim 10$ eV - 100 eV) recoil threshold cryogenic Ge detectors. The analysis is performed in the context of a specific and contemporary reactor-based experimental proposal, developed in cooperation with the Nuclear Science Center at Texas A\&M University, and references developing technology based upon economical and scalable detector arrays. The baseline of the experiment is substantially shorter than existing measurements, as near as about 2 meters from the reactor core, and is moreover variable, extending continuously up to a range of about 10 meters. This proximity and variety combine to provide extraordinary sensitivity to a wide spectrum of oscillation scales, while facilitating the tidy cancellation of leading systematic uncertainties in the reactor source and environment. With 100~eV sensitivity, for exposures on the order of 200 kg$\cdot$y, we project an estimated sensitivity to first/fourth neutrino oscillation with a mass gap $Δm^2 \sim 1 \, {\rm eV}^2$ at an amplitude $\sin^2 2θ\sim 10^{-1}$, or $Δm^2 \sim 0.2 \, {\rm eV}^2$ at unit amplitude. Larger exposures, around 5,000 kg$\cdot$y, together with 10 eV sensitivity are capable of probing more than an additional order of magnitude in amplitude.

Year: 2015

description: The role of environmental contaminant exposure in the development of a broad suite of human diseases has been well established. An understanding of the biological mechanisms through which these diverse and prevalent toxicants cause toxicity would be beneficial to both public health and clinical medicine. Here, we used a systematic analysis of data available from the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database to explore known toxicant-gene-disease interactions for 83 high-priority toxicants, as ranked by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Research. Rankings of toxicant-pathway associations identified specific biological pathways enriched for disruption by numerous toxicants such as the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway. These results present a novel approach to identify and prioritize biological pathways of particular relevance to high-priority environmental contaminants.

A Laboratory Study of Buoyant Coarse Media Flocculation
Creators: name: Nix, James E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: In water treatment, flocculation is the unit operation in which destabilized particles are given the opportunities to collide with each other and aggregate into floc. Traditionally the mixing necessary for these collisions has been mechanically induced: mechanical mixers in the flocculation basins create velocity gradients in the water being flocculated and the conditions for the agglomeration of particles. However, the energy imparted to a water being flocculated does not necessarily have to come from mechanical mixing. Hydraulic flocculation is also widely used for the purpose of inducing velocity gradients. Hydraulic flocculation occurs when the turbulence in the water is not the result of mechanical action, but rather of the hydraulic design of the flocculator. The advantages of hydraulic flocculators are that there is less mechanical equipment and less maintenance than with mechanical flocculators, and performance is good at constant flow rates. The disadvantages of traditional hydraulic flocculators are a relatively high head loss and the difficulty of adjusting the system to changing flow rates. A pilot plant study of buoyant coarse media (BCM) flocculation was conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to determine the feasibility and possible applications of this process. BCM flocculation is a type of hydraulic flocculation in which passage of water through a bed of media provides the turbulence necessary for floe formation. As destabilized particles pass around the media, eddies in the pore spaces between the media create the turbulence needed for particle collisions and flocculation.

description: Three-qubit quantum gates are key ingredients for quantum error correction and quantum information processing. We generate quantum-control procedures to design three types of three-qubit gates, namely Toffoli, Controlled-Not-Not and Fredkin gates. The design procedures are applicable to a system comprising three nearest-neighbor-coupled superconducting artificial atoms. For each three-qubit gate, the numerical simulation of the proposed scheme achieves 99.9% fidelity, which is an accepted threshold fidelity for fault-tolerant quantum computing. We test our procedure in the presence of decoherence-induced noise as well as show its robustness against random external noise generated by the control electronics. The three-qubit gates are designed via the machine learning algorithm called Subspace-Selective Self-Adaptive Differential Evolution (SuSSADE).

description: Face alignment, which is the task of finding the locations of a set of facial landmark points in an image of a face, is useful in widespread application areas. Face alignment is particularly challenging when there are large variations in pose (in-plane and out-of-plane rotations) and facial expression. To address this issue, we propose a cascade in which each stage consists of a mixture of regression experts. Each expert learns a customized regression model that is specialized to a different subset of the joint space of pose and expressions. The system is invariant to a predefined class of transformations (e.g., affine), because the input is transformed to match each expert's prototype shape before the regression is applied. We also present a method to include deformation constraints within the discriminative alignment framework, which makes our algorithm more robust. Our algorithm significantly outperforms previous methods on publicly available face alignment datasets.

description: Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field. We show that any representation of a maximal compact subgroup of $\mathbf{SL}_N(F)$ which is typical for an essentially tame supercuspidal representation must be induced from a Bushnell--Kutzko maximal simple type. From this, we explicitly count and describe the conjugacy classes of such typical representations, and give an explicit description of an inertial Langlands correspondence for essentially tame irreducible $N$-dimensional projective representations of the Weil group of $F$.
description: The paper has been extensively rewritten. The result was too strong as previously claimed; the proof is valid only for essentially tame representations. 20 pages
A Systematic Approach for Identifying, Evaluating and Presenting Mechanistic Evidence in Human Health Risk Assessment
Creators: name: Kushman, Mary Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Clear documentation of literature search strategies and analysis methodologies can improve transparency in chemical hazard assessments. We sought to improve clarity for the scientific support for carcinogenic mechanism of action conclusions using a systematic approach to collection, selection, presentation, and evaluation of literature studies. We focused on how di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) causes liver tumorigenesis, a question critical to interpreting a large and complex database of >3,000 peer-reviewed publications. Relevant mechanisms of hepatic carcinogenesis were identified from published reviews. The literature search strategy included relevant synonyms and wildcards for DEHP and metabolites, mechanisms, and species of interest. Tiered evaluation criteria for study exclusion/inclusion were defined, and applied to the retrieved literature. Manual curation was conducted for mechanisms with large literature databases. Literature trees documented identification, curation and selection of the literature evidence. The selected studies were summarized in evidence tables accompanied by succinct narratives. Primary publications were made available via the Health and Environmental Research Online (http://heroepagov/) database, and identified by evaluation criteria and key terms to permit organized retrieval. This approach effectively manages a large volume of literature, improves appraisal and synthesis of information, and enables analysis of similarity in mechanism of action across studies for the purpose of chemical hazard assessment.

Creators: name: Beard, Emma
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Objective 1: To investigate group level and within-person patterns and trajectories of dual use behaviour: Specific aims at the group level: a) To assess differences in trends of the proportion of participants reporting dual use, exclusive e-cigarette use, exclusive smoking and abstinence. b) To assess differences in trends in the average number of cigarettes smoked per day and the average volume of e-liquid used. c) What is the association over time between the proportion of participants reporting dual use, exclusive use of e-cigarettes, exclusive smoking and days of abstinence? d) What is the association over time between the average number of cigarettes smoked and average volume of e-liquid used? Specific aims at the individual level a) To assess differences in trends over time for each individual in the number of cigarettes smoked per day and the volume of e-liquid used b) What is the association over time for each individual between the number of cigarettes smoked and volume of e-liquid used? Objective 2: To identify group level and within-person predictors of i) episodes of exclusive tobacco use, ii) relapse to exclusive tobacco use and iii) cessation of tobacco use Specific aims: a) To determine whether several key time varying and non-time varying smoking and e-cigarette related measures, as well as socio-demographic characteristics (for the group level analysis), predict episodes of exclusive tobacco use. b) To determine whether several key time varying and non-time varying smoking and e-cigarette related measures, as well as socio-demographic characteristics (for the group level analysis), predict relapse to exclusive tobacco use. c) To determine whether several key time varying and non-time varying smoking and e-cigarette related measures, as well as socio-demographic characteristics (for the group level analysis), predict cessation of tobacco use.
Lindenmann Rule Applied to the Melting of Crystals and Ultrastable Glasses

description: The ratio of the mean square amplitude root of thermal vibrations and the interatomic distance is a universal constant dls at the melting temperature Tm. The classical Gibbs free energy change completed by a volume energy saving els (or Delg)*DHm that governs the liquid to solid and liquid to ultra-stable glass transformations leads to a universal constant equal to els (or Delg), DHm being the crystal melting enthalpy. The minimum values 0.217 of els and 0.103 of dls are used to predict ultra-stable glass formation in pure metallic liquid elements at a universal reduced temperature 0g = (Tg-Tm)/Tm = -0.6223.

Development of an Occupational Audit System for OSHA's Proposed Bloodborne Pathogens Standard
Creators: name: Mattick, Richard K.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: OSHA's proposed bloodborne pathogen rule will be the agency's first and most costly attempt at regulating biological hazards, namely HIV and HBV, in the occupational environment. Lifetime risk of infection to healthcare workers from HIV and HBV can be significantly reduced with adherence to the OSHA standard. In this study, an audit system was developed to provide research and clinical laboratories and production facilities with a means of assessing compliance with the rule. In addition, a fault tree analysis added the ability to classify facilities on the basis of exposure risk to bloodborne pathogens. Database software offers the ability to store collected audit information and disseminate risk management strategies and remedial information to audited facilities.
Direct Observation of Large Flexoelectric Bending at the Nanoscale in Lanthanide Scandates

description: Large bending of materials can occur at the nanoscale in response to an electric polarization, what is called the flexoelectric effect, but to date this has not been observed directly. We report the direct observation of large flexoelectric bending in [110] oriented DyScO3 inside an electron microscope. We corroborate these observations with independent ex-situ measurements of the flexoelectric coefficient with a three-point bending setup. The relevant flexocoupling voltage was measured to be -42(2) V, which is higher than expected based upon current flexoelectric models.

description: Report Introduction: Over the past 10 years, farmers have shifted their views on milkweed from a weed to a potentially valuable plant. In Vermont, several farmers have gained a new appreciation for common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). They are encouraging it for its pollinator benefits and even intentionally cultivating it as a crop for its floss and seed. This plant has some potential for Vermont farms seeking to diversify and adapt to a changing climate. In this case study, we look at approaches and related costs and benefits to growing milkweed. We provide an economic analysis of milkweed seed and floss production and look at potential demand. This study can inform agricultural producers of a potential alternative crop opportunity. One climate change strategy is to increase crop diversification by adding new perennial crops. This reduces the risk of any one crop failure having significant impact on a farm’s bottom line. Promoting milkweed production not only provides monarch butterfly habitat, but it also holds potential as an alternative crop for Northeast producers.

description: The Blue Cloud data discovery and access service is one of the components of the Blue-Cloud technical framework. It serves federated discovery and access to a range of blue data infrastructures for external users and also will interact with the Blue-Cloud Virtual Research Environment (the component federating computing platforms and analytical services). The pilot Blue-Cloud project aims at federating initially in total 10 blue data infrastructures. Each of these existing infrastructures have been described earlier in deliverable D2.1 - Blue Data Infrastructures – Services Description Report, in particular with a focus on their current data discovery and access mechanisms. And further analyses have taken place concerning the web services and APIs that each of the existing infrastructures are providing for machine-to-machine interactions. The results of those analyses have been described in deliverable D2.2 - Blue Data Infrastructures – Services Analysis Report. The conceptual approach and architecture for the Blue Cloud data discovery and access service have been further developed and are described in deliverables D2.6 – Blue Cloud Architecture (1st Release) and D2.7 – Blue Cloud Architecture (2nd Release). Part of the concept is to rely fully on machine-to-machine interactions between the Blue-Cloud service and each of the blue data infrastructures. Another part of the concept is a two-step approach to discovery from data collections to data granules, where possible, and applying search criteria from coarse (level 1) to fine (level 2), while the second level can be completed by actual ordering and retrieval of associated data sets. The underlying report describes the actual development and deployment of the Beta-version of the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access service. Implementing the conceptual approach has largely depended on the existing and available web services and APIs at the blue data infrastructures. Therefore, this report describes what services and what solutions were adopted overall as well as per blue data infrastructure to deploy the requested concept and functionality. The actual launch of the Beta-version of the Blue-Cloud Data Discovery and Access service is planned in the middle of June 2021.
