description: Linear conductance of junctions formed by graphene flakes with order of nanometer-thick electrodes attached at the corners of the flakes is studied. The explored structures have sizes up to 20000 atoms and the conductance is studied as a function of applied gate voltage varied around the Fermi level. The finding, obtained computationally, is that junctions formed by armchair-edge flakes with the electrodes connected at the acute-angle corners block the electron transport while only junctions with such electrodes at the obtuse-angle corners tend to provide the high electrical conductance typical for metallic GNRs. The finding in case of zig-zag edges is similar with an exception of a relatively narrow gate voltage interval in which each studied junction is highly conductive as mediated by the edge states. The contrast between the conductive and insulating setups is typically several orders of magnitude in terms of ratio of their conductances. Main results of the paper remain to a large extent valid also in the presence of edge disorder.

Building the North Carolina Adolescent Health Resource Center: A Program and Evaluation Plan
Creators: name: Thomson, Claire
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Adolescence is a time of great transition, including many changes affecting physical, emotional, and mental health. Learning healthy habits and maintaining health during adolescence is a vital component of overall lifetime health (North Carolina Institute of Medicine, 2009). Public health programs to support adolescent health are important resources for adolescents, their parents, and their health care providers. Comprehensive state-level adolescent health programs can provide health services and resources targeted to the overall health of a state’s total adolescent health population. The North Carolina Adolescent Health Resource Center (NC AHRC) was created to support the health of all North Carolina adolescents. The main program goals include coordinating adolescent health initiatives across the state, providing resources on adolescent health to adolescents, their parents, and their health providers, and expanding utilization of evidence-based practices, programs, and policies for adolescent health. The program will achieve these aims primarily through the program website which will provide adolescent health information and resources. Other activities will include trainings for adolescent health organizations and the formation of a Youth Advisory Board. This paper first details a review of similar state-level programs, including approaches to evaluation, which was conducted to inform the planning process. In-depth program and evaluation plans for the NC AHRC follow the review. The program plan will describe the program context and challenges, and will lay out detailed goals, objectives, and activities. The evaluation plan will detail the quantitative and qualitative approaches planned to assess the success of the program activities. This program plan and evaluation will guide the initial efforts of the NC AHRC and will provide an approach for program assessment and improvement.

description: We present the geological map (1:10.000) of the Montecastelli Pisano area, where (i) the relationships between Neogene-Quaternary transfer and normal faults have been carefully mapped (Sheet 1), and (ii) the mantle sequence of the Ligurian Ocean has been analysed (Sheet 2). Fault analyses allowed to define: (i) NE-trending fault system (left-lateral strike- to oblique-slip faults) belonging to a transfer shear zone; and (ii) NW-trending normal to oblique-slip faults. Their evolution is framed in the extensional tectonics affecting the Northern Apennines since Early-Middle Miocene. The ophiolite complex is constituted by serpentinized spinelharzburgite with minor serpentinized dunite channels cut by gabbro dykes. A km-scale cataclastic zone cut the mantle section, locally hosting Cu-Fe mineralization. The goal of this work is to present the distribution of the main fractures affecting an area where the occurrence of ophiolite can favor the success of the CO2 reinjection project.

Early detection of internal erosion in earth dams: combining seismic monitoring and convolutional AutoEncoders

description: Levees/earth dams are critical infrastructures for supplementing clean water, flood management, and energy production, prone to progressive failures due to internal erosion. Current inspection methods are unable to detect internal erosion until its exterior manifestation when it is too late to prevent the often-catastrophic failures. Therefore, finding innovative methods for the early detection of internal erosion is crucial. Despite the knowledge about the general mechanism of internal erosion, its early detection (and prevention) has remained a gap. This study introduces a novel artificial intelligence (AI) method to identify the temporal patterns within the passive seismic monitoring data, which can be associated with internal erosion initiation in earth dams. The proposed approach implements Convolutional AutoEncoders, an emerging deep-learning algorithm for anomaly detection in time-series data. Through an unsupervised learning framework, the AutoEncoders are trained using passive seismic monitoring data collected from a full-scale test embankment. In addition to the approximate initiation time, this algorithm can evaluate the initiation location by identifying the first sensors demonstrating internal erosion signs. The proposed deep learning framework combined with continuous seismic monitoring can serve as a basis for developing advanced early warning systems for internal erosion in earth dams.

Modeling the Malawi Surgical Initiative: A Program and Evaluation Plan for Postgraduate Surgical Training in Sierra Leone
Creators: name: Cole, Mariatu
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The high burden of surgical conditions in Sierra Leone is unmatched by a low surgical workforce. Currently, there is no advanced level postgraduate surgical training program in Sierra Leone. This paper proposes a possible solution by presenting a program and evaluation plan for a twinning postgraduate surgical training program in Sierra Leone. The overall structure of this proposed program and evaluation plan is based on other similar programs such as the Malawi Surgical Initiative and also on the perspectives voiced by potential stakeholders in Sierra Leone. There is currently a strong interest in the development of such a program in Sierra Leone. As a result, this document is intended to serve as an additional resource and guide for future program directors and stakeholders in Sierra Leone and abroad.

Mechanosensitivity of the IInd kind: TGFb mechanism of cell sensing the substrate stiffness

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Cell Behavior (q-bio.CB)

description: Cells can sense forces applied to them, but also the stiffness of their environment. These are two different phenomena, and here we investigate the mechanosensitivity of the IInd kind: how the cell can measure an elastic modulus at a single point of adhesion -- and how the cell can receive and interpret the chemical signal released from the sensor. Our model uses the example of large latent complex of TGFb as a sensor. Stochastic theory gives the rate of breaking of latent complex, which initiates the signaling feedback loop after the active TGFb release and leads to a change of cell phenotype driven by the smooth muscle actin. We investigate the dynamic and steady-state behaviours of the model, comparing them with experiments. In particular, we analyse the timescale of approach to the steady state, the stability of the non-linear dynamical system, and how the steady-state concentrations of the key markers vary depending on the elasticity of the substrate. We discover a crossover region for values of substrate elasticity closely corresponding to that of the fibroblast to myofibroblast transition. We suggest that the cell could actively vary the parameters of its dynamic feedback loop to `choose' the position of the transition region and the range of substrate elasticity that it can detect. In this way, the theory offers the unifying mechanism for a variety of phenomena, such as the myofibroblast conversion in fibrosis of wounds and lungs and smooth muscle cell dysfunction in cardiac disease.

description: We investigate the long-standing problem of the hole localization at the Al impurity in quartz SiO$_2$, using a relatively recent DFT hybrid-functional method in which the exchange fraction is obtained \emph{ab initio}, based on an analogy with the static many-body COHSEX approximation to the electron self-energy. As the amount of the admixed exact exchange in hybrid functionals has been shown to be determinant for properly capturing the hole localization, this problem constitutes a prototypical benchmark for the accuracy of the method, allowing one to assess to what extent self-interaction effects are avoided. We obtain good results in terms of description of the charge localization and structural distortion around the Al center, improving with respect to the more popular B3LYP hybrid-functional approach. We also discuss the accuracy of computed hyperfine parameters, by comparison with previous calculations based on other self-interaction-free methods, as well as experimental values. We discuss and rationalize the limitations of our approach in computing defect-related excitation energies in low-dielectric-constant insulators.

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsies in Cutaneous Melanoma: A systematic review of the literature
Creators: name: Jenkins, Sasha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Cutaneous melanoma has become a growing health problem in the United States, affecting all age groups, ethnic groups, including both genders. The incidence rate of melanoma is rising faster than any other malignancy, with the American Cancer Society projecting nearly 60,000 new cases and over 8,000 deaths due to melanoma for the year 2007. One of the main components of diagnosis and management of cutaneous melanoma is staging of the patient. Given that the metastasis status of the lymph nodes is of great prognostic significance for melanoma, a new minimally invasive procedure called sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the preferred method of care for patients diagnosed with melanoma. However, to date, there has been no cumulative research looking at the evidence of sentinel lymph node biopsies in terms of overall survival and disease free survival. In addition, the theory that sentinel lymph node biopsies might increase the risk of in-transit metastases has been postulated. A systematic review was done evaluating the role of the routine use of sentinel lymph node biopsy in staging of melanoma to see if there is an overall benefit to patients diagnosed with melanoma in performing SLN biopsies. The results of the comprehensive search revealed that there is fair evidence that the use of SLN biopsy in patients diagnosed with Stage I or II melanoma does not increase the risk of in-transit metastases compared to either WLE only, ELND, or delayed lymph node dissection of patients with clinically palpable nodes. Furthermore, the results in this paper demonstrates fair evidence that SLN provides a significantly better disease free survival but perhaps not an overall survival benefit. Given that there is no good treatment for advanced stage melanoma and sentinel lymph node biopsies do not provide an overall longer survival, the decision to undergo a sentinel lymph node biopsy should be one of shared decision making.

Can Negligible Cooperation Increase Network Reliability?

Year: 2016

description: In network cooperation strategies, nodes work together with the aim of increasing transmission rates or reliability. This paper demonstrates that enabling cooperation between the transmitters of a two-user multiple access channel, via a cooperation facilitator that has access to both messages, always results in a network whose maximal- and average-error sum-capacities are the same---even when those capacities differ in the absence of cooperation and the information shared with the encoders is negligible. From this result, it follows that if a multiple access channel with no transmitter cooperation has different maximal- and average-error sum-capacities, then the maximal-error sum-capacity of the network consisting of this channel and a cooperation facilitator is not continuous with respect to the output edge capacities of the facilitator. This shows that there exist networks where sharing even a negligible number of bits per channel use with the encoders yields a non-negligible benefit.

description: The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syudrome (SARS) was notable for its transmission within healthcare facilities, and in particular for infecting healthcare workers (HCWs) who provided direct patient care. This paper focuses on assessing the risk factors related to HCW s acquiring SARS and the effectiveness of infection control measures in protecting HCWs from disease transmission while caring for SARS infected patients. Risk factors associated with SARS transmission include contact with respiratory secretions, exposure to aerosol generating procedures, duration of exposure to SARS patients, duration of infection control training, and perceived inadequacy of personal protective equipment supply. Protective factors associated with SARS transmission include wearing of a mask and hand hygiene. In order to improve hospital preparedness for possible future disease outbreaks, efforts in enhancing infection control training must be a priority. Standardizing and improving the quality of research conducted in the face of a disease outbreak is another area deserving of attention.

description: In this talk, we have presented the pros and cons of different filament finder techniques. These techniques (Disperse and TREX) have been recently used to probe the connectivity of the cosmic web, i.e. the number of filaments connected to cosmic nodes as galaxy clusters. By probing cluster connectivity in simulation, Gouin et al, (2021) show that large scale environments directly impact cluster evolution. Moreover, Galárraga-Espinosa et al (2023) have recently provided predictions on the evolution of cosmic web connectivity through the cosmic time. Finally, we presented preliminary results of TREX and Disperse comparison into a spectroscopic-like galaxy catalog from Magneticum simulation, and the impact of galaxy selection (via luminosity cut) on connectivity measurements.

description: In conditionally automated driving, drivers decoupled from driving while immersed in non-driving-related tasks (NDRTs) could potentially either miss the system-initiated takeover request (TOR) or a sudden TOR may startle them. To better prepare drivers for a safer takeover in an emergency, we propose novel context-aware advisory warnings (CAWA) for automated driving to gently inform drivers. This will help them stay vigilant while engaging in NDRTs. The key innovation is that CAWA adapts warning modalities according to the context of NDRTs. We conducted a user study to investigate the effectiveness of CAWA. The study results show that CAWA has statistically significant effects on safer takeover behavior, improved driver situational awareness, less attention demand, and more positive user feedback, compared with uniformly distributed speech-based warnings across all NDRTs.

description: Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the impact of the poverty alleviation policies of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria. The study was motivated by the need to find out how the poverty alleviation policies of Goodluck Jonathan impacted on Nigerians. The objectives of the study were to determine the key objectives of Goodluck Jonathan's poverty alleviation policies, ascertain the extent to which Goodluck Jonathan's poverty alleviation initiatives were achieved and to find out the challenges encountered during the implementation process. The study was anchored on relative deprivation theory, which provides a useful framework for analysing how policy issues were presented and understood. The analysis of Goodluck Jonathan's poverty alleviation policies in Nigeria revealed a mixed picture. While the initiatives demonstrated some success in expanding social safety nets and providing temporary relief to the poorest households, the long-term impact on sustainable poverty reduction remained limited. Key challenges, such as a lack of effective coordination among government agencies, top-down policy formulation with limited community engagement, and uneven distribution of benefits, undermined the equity and transformative potential of the interventions. Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that the government should establish robust coordination mechanisms among the various ministries, departments and agencies involved in poverty alleviation initiatives. This will help to streamline efforts, reduce duplication and ensure more efficient resource allocation and programme delivery.
Vulnerability Analysis and Consequences of False Data Injection Attack on Power System State Estimation

description: An unobservable false data injection (FDI) attack on AC state estimation (SE) is introduced and its consequences on the physical system are studied. With a focus on understanding the physical consequences of FDI attacks, a bi-level optimization problem is introduced whose objective is to maximize the physical line flows subsequent to an FDI attack on DC SE. The maximization is subject to constraints on both attacker resources (size of attack) and attack detection (limiting load shifts) as well as those required by DC optimal power flow (OPF) following SE. The resulting attacks are tested on a more realistic non-linear system model using AC state estimation and ACOPF, and it is shown that, with an appropriately chosen sub-network, the attacker can overload transmission lines with moderate shifts of load.

description: Given a closed set $C$ in a Banach space $(X, \|\cdot\|)$, a point $x\in X$ is said to have a nearest point in $C$ if there exists $z\in C$ such that $d_C(x) =\|x-z\|$, where $d_C$ is the distance of $x$ from $C$. We shortly survey the problem of studying how large is the set of points in $X$ which have nearest points in $C$. We then discuss the topic of delta-convex functions and how it is related to finding nearest points.
