description: We introduce a scheme for preparation, manipulation, and readout of Majorana zero modes in semiconducting wires with mesoscopic superconducting islands. Our approach synthesizes recent advances in materials growth with tools commonly used in quantum-dot experiments, including gate-control of tunnel barriers and Coulomb effects, charge sensing, and charge pumping. We outline a sequence of milestones interpolating between zero-mode detection and quantum computing that includes (1) detection of fusion rules for non-Abelian anyons using either proximal charge sensors or pumped current; (2) validation of a prototype topological qubit; and (3) demonstration of non-Abelian statistics by braiding in a branched geometry. The first two milestones require only a single wire with two islands, and additionally enable sensitive measurements of the system's excitation gap, quasiparticle poisoning rates, residual Majorana zero-mode splittings, and topological-qubit coherence times. These pre-braiding experiments can be adapted to other manipulation and readout schemes as well.

The Ketogenic Diet for Cancer Patients: A Narrative Review
Creators: name: Wallis, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Use of the ketogenic diet in cancer patients is currently being explored in all stages and types of cancer. The ketogenic diet could influence human metabolism in such a way as to reduce tumor growth, increase efficacy of standard cancer treatments, and reduce side effects of those treatments. The goal of this review was to examine the available evidence on the effects of the ketogenic diet in human cancer patients. Including the only randomized controlled trial to date, 15 articles were reviewed and summarized to help determine the state of the science. As research in this area is emerging, most of these studies used small sample sizes and were conducted in patients with advanced cancer stages. However, they differed in design, diet intervention, and measurement of outcomes, including method and frequency of biomarkers and diet adherence. Although most results from these studies are mixed, all studies support the safety and feasibility of the ketogenic diet for cancer patients. Those studies that examined body composition reported positive effects from the ketogenic diet, such as preservation of muscle mass and increased physical functioning. In addition, certain biomarkers point to a positive effect of the diet on cancer proliferation; however, it is unknown if the effects of the diet differ between specific cancer cell types and if these effects influence tumor growth. More research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms behind the effects of the diet, and to determine the differences in metabolism across specific cancer cell types before this diet can be recommended.

description: This letter proposes to estimate low-rank matrices by formulating a convex optimization problem with non-convex regularization. We employ parameterized non-convex penalty functions to estimate the non-zero singular values more accurately than the nuclear norm. A closed-form solution for the global optimum of the proposed objective function (sum of data fidelity and the non-convex regularizer) is also derived. The solution reduces to singular value thresholding method as a special case. The proposed method is demonstrated for image denoising.

Teachers’ Attitudes and Beliefs Concerning Recommended Practices to Promote Children’s Healthy Eating and Physical Activity in Childcare Centers
Creators: name: Pancaldo, Ariana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The increase in the prevalence of obesity in the United States has been the subject of much public concern. This disturbing trend has been observed even in young children. The prevalence of obesity in children 2-5 years old increased from 5.0% in the 1971-1974 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to 10.4% in the 2007-2008 survey. In the 2010 North Carolina Pediatric Nutrition Surveillance System, which looks specifically at low-income children, 16.2 % of 2-5 year children were overweight (85% - <95% BMI-for-age) and an additional 15.5% were obese (>95% BMI-for-age). One study showed an association between obesity in older children (ages 5-18 years old) and reduced quality of life and there is evidence that obesity in childhood tracks into adolescence and adulthood. We also know that patterns of physical activity and eating behaviors that are established in early childhood influence these behaviors in adulthood. An increasing number of children spend time in childcare. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2010 approximately 43.2% of children under 5 years old who live with their mother are in childcare. An informal review of North Carolina CACFP’s records from January through March of 2012 indicated that children in North Carolina CACFP participating centers were consuming an average of 2-3 meals and/or snacks per day in childcare (personal communication). This suggests that childcare facilities play an important role in establishing healthy physical activity and eating behaviors in young children. In recognition of the important role of childcare institutions, numerous governmental and private institutions have published recommended childcare practices related to nutrition and physical activity. The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes and beliefs of teachers in childcare settings toward the subset of recommendations over which they have control and to explore the barriers and solutions to their implementation.

description: Based on quantum statistical mechanics and microscopic quantum dynamics, we prove Planck's and Kelvin's principles for macroscopic systems in a general and realistic setting. We consider a hybrid quantum system that consists of the thermodynamic system, which is initially in thermal equilibrium, and the "apparatus" which operates on the former, and assume that the whole system evolves autonomously. This provides a satisfactory derivation of the second law for macroscopic systems. Although the main body of the article is self-contained there are two supplemental notes on closely related topics, namely, the law of entropy increase and the approach based on a unital time-evolution.

description: We report on the emergence of two disconnected superconducting domes in alkali-metal potassium (K)-doped FeSe ultra-thin films grown on graphitized SiC(0001). The superconductivity exhibits hypersensitivity to K dosage in the lower-Tc dome, whereas in the heavily electron-doped higher-Tc dome it becomes spatially homogeneous and robust against disorder, supportive of a conventional Cooper-pairing mechanism. Furthermore, the heavily K-doped multilayer FeSe films all reveal a large superconducting gap of ~ 14 meV, irrespective of film thickness, verifying the higher-Tc superconductivity only in the topmost FeSe layer. The unusual finding of a double-dome superconducting phase has stepped towards the mechanistic understanding of superconductivity in FeSe-derived superconductors.

description: Among the organophosphate pesticides, the wide and indiscriminate use of profenofos (PFF) in agricultural and horticultural crops has resulted in serious environmental and animal health concerns and therefore demands an urgent need to develop a biological solution for its effective removal from the environment. For the bioremediation of PFF, a strain PF1, capable of utilizing profenofos as the sole source of carbon and energy was isolated from the soil samples of apple orchards of Shimla region of Himachal Pradesh, India. Based on the biochemical, FAME, and 16S rRNA gene analysis the bacterium PF1 was identified as Bacillus altitudinis (GenBank: MH986176). The strain was able to degrade 50μg mL−1 PFF up to 93% within 30 days of incubation at 28°C, pH 7.0. A linear regression analysis performed on the data-set revealed the statistical significance of the relationship between the growth of the bacterial population and the degradation of pesticides. The compound 4-Bromo-2-chlorophenol (BCP) was detected as one of the pathway metabolites which further were completely degraded to lower pathway metabolites. A probable PFF degradation pathway has been proposed which follows the path from PFF to BCP and ultimately enters into the TCA cycle. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of PFF biodegradation by any Bacillus species of western Himalayan origin exhibiting close phylogenetic association with Bacillus altitudinis. This indigenous bacterium can be useful to bio-remediate the PFF contaminated soil as this pesticide is extensively used in the different horticulture fields in Himachal Pradesh, India.

description: In this paper we study an su$(m)$-invariant open version of the Haldane-Shastry spin chain whose ground state can be obtained from the chiral correlator of the $c=m-1$ free boson boundary conformal field theory. We show that this model is integrable for a suitable choice of the chain sites depending on the roots of the Jacobi polynomial $P_N^{β-1,β'-1}$, where $N$ is the number of sites and $β,β'$ are two positive parameters. We also compute in closed form the first few nontrivial conserved charges arising from the twisted Yangian invariance of the model. We evaluate the chain's partition function, determine the ground state energy and deduce a complete description of the spectrum in terms of Haldane's motifs and a related classical vertex model. In particular, this description entails that the chain's level density is normally distributed in the thermodynamic limit. We also analyze the spectrum's degeneracy, proving that it is much higher than for a typical Yangian-invariant model.

Identifying Malnutrition in Older People Living in the Community, Buckinghamshire, UK
Creators: name: Rollins, Lesley
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Older adults are a population at high risk of malnutrition and are the fastest growing population throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and the world. The 2011 census data revealed the local Buckinghamshire, UK populations of people 60 years of age and over and 80 years of age and over have increased by 23.8% and 27.7% since 2001 respectively. This is higher than the 16% national increase in people 60 years of age and over in England and higher than the increase in people aged 70-89 years of age in the South East region of England where Buckinghamshire county is located (Buckinghamshire County Council, 2012). With an aging population comes the potential for an increase in the prevalence of malnutrition, as the risk of malnutrition increases as people age. According to the series of annual Nutrition Screening Week surveys conducted between 2007-2011 by the British Association of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN), 1.3 million of the 3 million (43.3%) people in the UK with malnutrition (undernutrition) are over the age of 65 and 93% of those malnourished in the UK live in the community versus an institution (i.e. hospital or nursing home) (BAPEN, 2012a).

description: This work describes the complete decontamination of three parcels of a dump site located in Lomas de Zamora county, Buenos Aires province (Argentina) heavily polluted with hexachorocyclohexane (HCH), where phytoremediation, successful in the surrounding areas, was ineffective. HCH contained in contaminated soil (10 g/kg average) was oxidized with sodium persulfate activated with citric acid chelated Fe(II). This chemical remediation process required treatment in situ in each parcel of approximately 10900 tons total of soil that were mechanically removed and initially mixed with 1750 tons of sodium persulfate. The mixture was then transferred to the excavation site, and 105 tons of ferrous sulfate and 35 tons of citric acid were finally added. The process, started in January 2011 and completed in February 2016, was very effective since chemical remediation average efficiency in the three parcels was higher than 99.99%. To the best of our knowledge this work is the first demonstration that persulfate oxidation activated with citric acid chelated Fe(II) can be successfully applied for field remediation of a relatively large area.

Free Energy Analysis of Spin Models on Hyperbolic Lattice Geometries

description: We investigate relations between spatial properties of the free energy and the radius of Gaussian curvature of the underlying curved lattice geometries. For this purpose we derive recurrence relations for the analysis of the free energy normalized per lattice site of various multistate spin models in the thermal equilibrium on distinct non-Euclidean surface lattices of the infinite sizes. Whereas the free energy is calculated numerically by means of the Corner Transfer Matrix Renormalization Group algorithm, the radius of curvature has an analytic expression. Two tasks are considered in this work. First, we search for such a lattice geometry, which minimizes the free energy per site. We conjecture that the only Euclidean flat geometry results in the minimal free energy per site regardless of the spin model. Second, the relations among the free energy, the radius of curvature, and the phase transition temperatures are analyzed. We found out that both the free energy and the phase transition temperature inherit the structure of the lattice geometry and asymptotically approach the profile of the Gaussian radius of curvature. This achievement opens new perspectives in the AdS-CFT correspondence theories.

Subjects: subject: Physical Sciences and Mathematics
subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: At present, there are a number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) [5-10]. The results indicated that music therapy can effectively improve the quality of life, relieve depression, and relieve symptoms of fatigue. However, but there is no meta-analysis report on Chinese folk music on tumor-related depression.so, this study will conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of Chinese folk music on cancer-related depression: a systematic review.
Search for dark matter and unparticles produced in association with a Z boson in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for evidence of particle dark matter (DM) and unparticle production at the LHC has been performed using events containing two charged leptons, consistent with the decay of a Z boson, and large missing transverse momentum. This study is based on data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns of pp collisions at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. No significant excess of events is observed above the number expected from the standard model contributions. The results are interpreted in terms of 90% confidence level limits on the DM-nucleon scattering cross section, as a function of the DM particle mass, for both spin-dependent and spin-independent scenarios. Limits are set on the effective cutoff scale Lambda, and on the annihilation rate for DM particles, assuming that their branching fraction to quarks is 100%. Additionally, the most stringent 95% confidence level limits to date on the unparticle model parameters are obtained.

Hidden in Plain View: Paintings Reveal Dietary Disparities Between European Social Classes (c. 1850-1900)
Creators: name: Padian, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The period of European industrialization and urbanization in the latter half of the nineteenth century brought about significant change in traditional food systems. This study identifies differences in diet quality between the upper and lower socioeconomic classes based on their depictions in selected major works of art from the period. Twenty European paintings were chosen, ten each from the upper and lower classes, which show people eating typical fare of the period. To examine class differences in diet, the artworks were coded for dietary diversity, gender, setting, and tone. Content analysis was examined in detail by comparing a randomly selected work portraying each of the two classes. Dietary diversity was measured using a questionnaire from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, from which variable frequencies and average diversity scores were tabulated and compared. The average dietary diversity score of the higher-class group was more than double the score of the lower-class group. Depictions were equivalent for the genders, but the upper classes had more scenes in private exterior settings. In addition, the higher class paintings contained only warm and neutral tones, while the lower classes had primarily cool and neutral tones.
