description: We start a series of studies of the excitation of an optical target by quantum light. In this first part, we introduce the problematic and address the first case of interest, that of exciting the quantum harmonic oscillator, corresponding to, e.g., a single-mode passive cavity or a non-interacting bosonic field. We introduce a mapping of the Hilbert space that allows to chart usefully the accessible regions. We then consider the quantum excitation from single photon sources in the form of a two-level system under various regimes of (classical) pumping: incoherent, coherent and in the Mollow triplet regime. We close this first opus with an overview of the material to be covered in the subsequent papers.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using a thermodynamic integration scheme, we compute the free energy cost per unit area, $γ$, of forming an interface between a crystal and a frozen structured wall, formed by particles frozen into the same equilibrium structure as the crystal. Even though the structure and potential energy of the crystalline phase in the vicinity of the wall is same as in the bulk, $γ$ has a non-zero value and increases with increasing density of the crystal and the wall. Investigating the effect of several interaction potentials between the particles, we observe a positive $γ$ at all crystalline densities if the potential is purely repulsive. For models with attractive interactions, such as the Lennard-Jones potential, a negative value for $γ$ is obtained at low densities.

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

description: Veterinarians protect the public's health by serving in multiple roles as epidemiologists, food inspectors, and veterinary medical officers in local, state, federal, and military organizations. One of the more prominent roles that veterinarians play in the public health arena is preventing and controlling rabies by vaccinating domestic and wild animals. However, newly emerging diseases that are influenced by factors such as changing climates, global travel, international trade, bioterrorism, environmental and demographic shifts, and antimicrobial resistance are creating new public health challenges for the future. Although veterinarians possess a unique set of training and educational skills that would allow them to address these challenges and to make significant impacts on efforts to protect the public's health, there is concern among some veterinary and public health leaders that the types of veterinary collaborations and partnerships that will be needed to adequately protect the public‟s health in the future have not been organized and implemented. There is also a concern among some leaders in the public health arena that veterinarians may not be positioning themselves to take advantage of developing opportunities. This paper seeks to explore these complex, multi-disciplinary veterinary public health collaborations, provide evidence to support the development of such partnerships, demonstrate the framework for such partnerships, and give examples of existing veterinary public health collaborations.

Smallpox Then and Now
Creators: name: McDonald, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Smallpox has claimed millions of lives during its existence. Deaths from the disease far out numbered that of the bubonic plague, the Black Death of the Middle Ages, and the wars of the 20th century all combined. Survivors of the disease acquired immunity but suffered a variety of long-term afflictions, such as permanent scarring, disfiguration, and blindness (Tucker, 2001). Although smallpox was eventually eradicated from the wild, it left a long trail of sickness and deaths that afflicted people of every race, class and social status. Even as recently as 1967, the disease continued to leave a devastating impact on the world causing an estimated two million deaths (Tucker, 2001). After the declaration of freedom from smallpox occurred in 1980, the terror of the disease faded from our awareness (Tucker, 2001). While some would consider smallpox to be a disease of the past and long forgotten, such consideration would be premature.

description: Zingiber is a genus of medicinal plants containing a rich resource of essential oils. The current study aims to describe chemical analysis and antimicrobial assay for two Zingiber species Zingiber eberhardtii Gagnep. and Z. skornickovae N.S. Lý. The rhizome oils, which were obtained by hydro-distillation using a Clevenger apparatus, were analyzed by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). Extraction of Z. eberhardtii rhizome gave a yellow oil with 41 identified compounds (96.3%), in which linalool (34.9%) and 1,8-cineole (12.7%) were the principal compounds. The yellow oil of Z. skornickovae rhizome included 53 identified compounds (97.8%), with β-pinene (25.0%), (E)-caryophyllene (8.8%), and α-pinene (7.9%) as the major agents. By broth dilution method, both oils moderately controlled the growth of Gram (+) bacteria Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 with the same MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) value of 128 μg/mL. In particular, Z. skornickovae rhizome oil showed the best antimicrobial activity against yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4098 with a MIC value of 64 μg/mL. The obtained results are promising information for future research.

Are Race Disparities in Cardiovascular Risk Similar Across Socioeconomic Strata? A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Ogunsiakan, Tosin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: PURPOSE: Racial differences in CVD risk factors are well documented. Socioeconomic determinants of health have been used as an explanation for the differences in CVD outcomes between African Americans and Caucasians, however the interaction of socioeconomic factors and race is not well understood. To further explore this relationship, this review aimed to assess whether racial disparities in CVD risk among African-Americans and Caucasians differ based on their socioeconomic status.METHODS: Systematic review of the literature was conducted with the main MeSH terms “race”, “socioeconomic status”, “cardiovascular disease”, “risk” and “adult”. Results were reviewed for eligibility per PECOTS criteria which where formulated to answer the key question. Risk factors were compared across racial categories. Evidence was synthesized qualitatively, in tabular and narrative format.RESULTS: Four studies were included. Three of the studies were conducted in the United States, and they examined how the relationship between SES and race influenced CVD risk in African-Americans when compared to Caucasians. Four studies found that African Americans were at higher odds of several CVD risk factors, including hypertension (OR, 1.90; 95% CI, 1.72 – 2.09). African-Americans had greater odds of multiple CVD risk factors across varying socioeconomic strata. Two studies found that racial differences in health were more pronounced at higher levels of socioeconomic status than at the lowest levels for some CVD risk factors. Compared to Caucasians, African-Americans earning $100,000 or more are more likely to experience greater racial disparity in obesity (OR, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.91 – 3.09) than African-Americans earning less than $35,000 (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.24 – 1.69).CONCLUSIONS: There is heterogeneity in the effect of socioeconomic status on CVD risk among African Americans and Caucasians. African-Americans generally have greater prevalence of CVD risk factors than Caucasians in similar socioeconomic strata. Some groups of African-Americans experienced higher CVD risk with increasing socioeconomic status. The results suggest that African-Americans experience fewer CVD-related benefits from increasing levels of educational attainment and income than do their Caucasian counterparts.

description: In this work we investigate the spectral and transport properties of a single correlated layer attached to two metallic leads, with particular focus on the low-energy physics. A steady state current is driven across the layer by applying a bias voltage between the leads. Extending previous work we introduce a nonzero temperature in the leads, which enables us to study the influence of quasiparticle excitations on the transport characteristics in detail. Even though the system is clearly three dimensional we obtain current-voltage curves that closely resemble those of single quantum dots. Furthermore, a splitting of the quasiparticle excitation with bias voltage is observed in the spectral function.

description: Flavoured functional effervescent powders are becoming increasingly popular by consumers due to their health benefits and easy dissolution. In present study, orange flavoured effervescent powders having functional properties were prepared. Orange oil (O) was blended with different essential oils (EOs) that have high antioxidant activity. The orange oil and the O-EOs blends were subjected to odour sensory evaluation, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and evaluation of radical scavenging activity. Combinations of two water soluble β-cyclodextrin polymers, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD) and epichlorohydrin-β-cyclodextrin (EPI-β-CD), were prepared at different molar ratios (3:1 and 1:3, F1 and F2, respectively). The O-EOs blends that showed the highest antioxidant activities and best odour qualities were encapsulated with F1 and F2, separately. The orange flavoured inclusion complexes were prepared by freeze drying method. The particle sizes of the inclusion complex powders were in the nanoscale. Characterization of the inclusion complexes nanoparticles was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and fourier transform infrared microscopy (FT-IR). The results confirmed the successful formation of the inclusion complexes. However, inclusion complex of O-EOs (300 mg) blend with F1 (OF1cIC) showed the smallest particle size (113.90±15.90 nm), the more negative zeta potential (−27.10±1.27 mV), the highest encapsulation efficiency (95.51%) and best odour quality. Therefore, it was mixed with an effervescent powder having high acceptable characteristics. The orange flavoured effervescent powder showed superior flowability.

Year: 2010

description: The following Master’s Paper is divided into two main parts. The first is a literature review on peripheral nerve blocks (PNB). The goals of the literature review are to (1) determine the incidence of long term neurological complications of PNB, (2) determine an optimal guidance technique to perform PNB, and (3) determine if the local anesthetic adjuvant clonidine improves quality and prolongs duration of PNB. The second part of the paper is an original research manuscript on PNB. The goals of this non-randomized, quasi-experimental study are to assess the effectiveness of PNB in terms of minor complications, patient satisfaction, and duration from time of block placement until pain onset, return of strength, and return of sensation. The effects of various techniques and local anesthetic adjuvants on these outcomes are explored.

Preventing Occupational Fatalities in Firefighters
Creators: name: Hutchins, Shawna L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) set one of its goals to reduce firefighter fatalities by 25% in 2005 and by 50% in 2010, but despite advances in technology, the fatality rate has remained relatively unchanged since 1977 (United States Fire Administration [USFA], 2009b). Unfortunately, firefighters continue to die from preventable causes. A review of the literature shows that the leading causes of firefighter fatalities are sudden cardiac death from cardiovascular disease and motor vehicle accidents (MVA). One preventable firefighter fatality is one too many. Many physiological and psychological stressors are present in firefighters‟ daily work environments which contribute to sudden cardiac death and motor vehicle fatalities. Health, wellness, and fitness interventions are needed to prevent sudden cardiac death. The occupational and environmental health nurse (OEHN) can help prevent occupational fatalities in firefighters through collaboration with firefighters, fire departments, and local, state, and federal agencies in implementing primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions; conducting health surveillance; providing education, training, and counseling; implementing change; and influencing future policy, practice, and research.

description: It was aimed to investigate the effect of Myrtus communis L. (MC) essential oil on cancer spheroids derived from A549 cells by analyzing cell viability and expression levels of prominent cancer stem cell and apoptosis markers. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium-bromide assay was per-formed to analyze cytotoxicity of MC essential oil for 24-h and 72-h. A549 cells were cultured in plates with low adherence to obtain spheroids. The effect of MC essential oil was assessed on the clonogenicity of the spheroids. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction method was utilized to measure relative expressions of cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44), prominin-1 (PROM1), POU class 5 homeobox 1 (POU5F1), ATP binding cassette subfamily G member-2 (ABCG2), and caspase-3 (CASP3). Relative protein levels of ABCG2 and CASP3 were also evaluated with Western blot analysis. MC essential oil reduced cell viability of A549 cells after 24-h and 72-h. A reduction was observed in number of cancer spheroids after MC essential oil treatment for 7 days. After 24h of MC essential oil treatment, PROM1, POU5F1, ABCG2, and CASP3 gene expressions decreased while returned to basal levels after 72h. CD44 levels did not change upon MC essential oil treatment. ABCG2 protein level reduced after 24-h MC essential oil treatment and returned to its basal level after 72-h. CASP3 protein levels did not change at either time points. MC essential oil exerted its anti-tumorigenic effects onto lung cancer spheroids derived from A549 cells by reducing cell viability of cancer cells, inhibiting spheroid formation efficiency, and downregulating several cancer stem cell markers.

description: The entanglement of an optically generated electron-hole pair in artificial quantum dot molecules is calculated considering the effects of decoherence by interaction with environment. Since the system evolves into a mixed states and due to the complexity of energy level structure, we use the negativity as entanglement quantifier, which is well defined in $d \otimes d^\prime$ composite vector spaces. By a numerical analysis of the non-unitary dynamics of the exciton states, we establish the feasibility of producing protected entangled superpositions by an appropriate tuning of bias electric field, $F$. A stationary state with a high value of negativity (high degree of entanglement) is obtained by fine tuning of $F$ close to a resonant condition between indirect excitons. We also found that when the optical excitation is set approximately equal to the electron tunneling coupling, $Ω/T_e \sim 1$, the entanglement reaches a maximum value. In front of the experimental feasibility of the specific condition mentioned before, our proposal becomes an useful strategy to find robust entangled states in condensed matter systems.

Best Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Practices in Mobile Health in Low-to-Middle Income Countries

description: High rates of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child (RMNCH) mortality and morbidity in low to middle income countries (LMIC) compared to high-income countries comprise a large source of global health inequity (Nurmatov et al., 2014). Despite substantial global advances in maternal and infant health, the majority of deaths are attributed to preventable causes with LMICs bearing the biggest burden. The United Nations 2015 Millennium Development Goals (MDG) have helped to raise worldwide awareness and funding for RMNCH projects including mobile health (mHealth). "Since 2007, there have been more mobile phone users in the developing world than in the developed world" (GSMA, 2011 May, p. 3). Nearly everyone on the globe has access to a cell phone, even people in the most remote locations. Mobile health has become a health system catalyst, to increase access to health information and improve the quality of health services around the world. Mobile health technology can improve data collection, count events, connect individuals, compress time, and create opportunities to improve health (Labrique, 2013). Significant barriers remain in this nascent field including the lack of evidence for positive health outcomes and cost effectiveness, lack of interoperability, lack of policies and regulations, privacy and security concerns and difficulties in creating sustainable mHealth applications. However, over the next few years the body of evidence in support of mHealth should gain support and the world will benefit from its application. Currently in mHealth, there is no universally accepted framework to evaluate mHealth innovations. This paper introduces a new tool to assess mHealth projects for RMNCH across the domains of provability, scalability, affordability, and sustainability. The framework is applied to best practice mHealth projects to identify examples of provability, scalability, affordability, and sustainability.

A Review of School Based Health Centers and their Role in Health Promotion and Prevention
Creators: name: Whitehouse, Erin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: School Based Health Centers (SBHCs) are one proposed model to improve the health of children in the United States. However, while there is evidence of their effectiveness in improving individual health outcomes, this paper reviews the current literature on SBHC evaluation and then challenges SBHCs to improve their methodology to measure determinants of health on a broader level using a socio-ecological model. PUBMed, CINAHL, ERIC, and PsycINFO were reviewed for articles related to SBHCs and evaluation. SBHC articles related to student health outcomes and evaluations were then sorted into categories based on their inclusion of determinants or outcomes beyond the individual level of the socio-ecological model. Most of the articles included only individual health measures such as decreased emergency room visits or improved self-reported health status. A few articles included family or community outcomes such as parent knowledge of asthma or teen pregnancy rates, but interventions largely targeted individual determinants of health. Only three articles had any relevance to broader health determinants and none of the articles included a mention of the socio-ecological models or other system models of health. Articles focused on evaluation methodology and other evaluation resources for SBHCs also made few references to including measures of the broader determinants of health in their recommendations. Overall, while SBHCs report health promotion and prevention as a foundation principle, the literature is void of an evaluation of their impact on multiple determinants of health. At the same time, as entities already existing within school and local communities with good community relationships, SBHCs have a unique opportunity to build this literature by expanding their evaluation questions and technique. SBHCs could be an important part of the solution for the fragmented, costly, and ineffective health care system in the United States and a critical bridge between clinical medicine and public health, but they have a burden to demonstrate their ability to do so.
Prostate Cancer Screening in African American Men: The Role of Culturally Sensitive Informed Decision Making with Values Clarification
Creators: name: Enemchukwu, Ekene A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to determine the culturally based values, attitudes and beliefs that influence African American men in their decisions to undergo prostate cancer screening. These beliefs, values and concerns will then be used to create a research design to assess effectiveness of a culturally tailored intervention (educational video and values clarification exercise) in helping men make decisions that are consistent with their values and beliefs, by increasing knowledge, identifying values, attitudes and beliefs, reducing decisional conflict and identifying preferred role in decision making. Methods: A systematic evidence review was conducted to determine the culturally specific values, attitudes and beliefs of African American, Latino and White men. The thematic results of the systematic evidence review were used to craft a research design including surveys, educational videos, and values clarification exercises (social matching and ranking and rating). Results: Important recurring themes were identified in the systematic evidence review. These themes included lack of knowledge, machismo, fear, patient doctor relationship, family and faith. All men reported poor patient doctor relationship, negative perceptions of prostate cancer, lack of knowledge and the importance of family. African American and Latino men were more likely to fear prostate cancer screening methods (DRE). All groups gave specific and unique suggestions for the content, design and themes they would prefer in educational materials. In the research design, the primary outcomes will be knowledge, decisional conflict and values, attitudes and beliefs and preferred role in decision making. We do not expect a statistically significant difference between groups in intent to screen and knowledge. However, a statistically significant difference in decisional conflict is hypothesized between the culturally tailored, neutral and no education groups. Values, attitudes and beliefs will be assessed through values clarification exercises and survey questions.
How log-normal is your country? An analysis of the statistical distribution of the exported volumes of products

description: We have considered the statistical distributions of the volumes of the different products exported by 148 countries. We have found that the form of these distributions is not unique but heavily depends on the level of development of the nation, as expressed by macroeconomic indicators like GDP, GDP per capita, total export and a recently introduced measure for countries' economic complexity called fitness. We have identified three major classes: a) an incomplete log-normal shape, truncated on the left side, for the less developed countries, b) a complete log-normal, with a wider range of volumes, for nations characterized by intermediate economy, and c) a strongly asymmetric shape for countries with a high degree of development. The ranking curves of the exported volumes from each country seldom cross each other, showing a clear hierarchy of export volumes. Finally, the log-normality hypothesis has been checked for the distributions of all the 148 countries through different tests, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramer-Von Mises, confirming that it cannot be rejected only for the countries of intermediate economy.

description: Multiple tracers of the cosmic density field, with different bias, number and luminosity evolution, can be used to measure the large-scale properties of the Universe. We show how an optimal combination of tracers can be used to detect general-relativistic effects in the observed density of sources. We forecast for the detectability of these effects, as well as measurements of primordial non-Gaussianity and large-scale lensing magnification with current and upcoming large-scale structure experiments. In particular we quantify the significance of these detections in the short term with experiments such as the Dark Energy Survey (DES), and in the long term with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). We review the main observational challenges that must be overcome to carry out these measurements.
