The role of caregiving quality in neurodevelopmental recovery following severe psychosocial deprivation in institutionally reared youth
Creators: name: Lurie, Lucy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Alterations to neural structure may contribute to impairments across multiple domains of cognitive and socioemotional functioning in institutionally reared youth. Increased caregiving quality related to removal from institutional care in early childhood and placement in foster care has not been directly investigated as a mechanism contributing to neurodevelopmental recovery in previously institutionalized adolescents. Furthermore, it is unknown if improved caregiving quality later in development during adolescence could also contribute to neurodevelopmental recovery after adverse early childhood caregiving experiences. In the present study, increased caregiving quality mediated the causal relation between random assignment to a foster care intervention and cortical structure in the prefrontal cortex in adolescence. Though early childhood caregiving quality demonstrated persistent associations with adolescent cortical thickness, caregiving quality across adolescence had unique associations with adolescent cortical surface area. Taken together, our findings support the importance of facilitating high quality caregiving across development.

description: Abstract The research paper attempts to describe the importance and adoption of introduction of mobile apps in the context of the library resources and services. As it is evident from the studies that, customized developed mobile apps will play a pivotal role in reaching out to library users in more effective way. Mobile apps will act as collective tool in enhancing the visibility of the libraries with their collection and services anywhere any time to the library users. Because, mobile apps in the context of the libraries is need of the day. Hence, the need arises of requirement of mobile apps for individual libraries in digital age. Especially in order to support today’s learning and research in higher educational institutions there is requirement of mobile apps for all the libraries. Mobile apps are aiding in providing the access to the library resources and services at a fraction of seconds to the library users. The changed situation necessitates use of digitally enabled mobile apps for learning and research work in educational institutions. This research paper will also portray how and what are the various components of mobile apps included and play a collective role in reaching out to the users more efficiently. Overall, this research paper also tries to look in to various related aspects of mobile apps more effectively.
Stuck in the Permissions With You: Developer & End-User Perspectives on App Permissions & Their Privacy Ramifications

description: While the literature on permissions from the end-user perspective is rich, there is a lack of empirical research on why developers request permissions, their conceptualization of permissions, and how their perspectives compare with end-users' perspectives. Our study aims to address these gaps using a mixed-methods approach. Through interviews with 19 app developers and a survey of 309 Android and iOS end-users, we found that both groups shared similar concerns about unnecessary permissions breaking trust, damaging the app's reputation, and potentially allowing access to sensitive data. We also found that developer participants sometimes requested multiple permissions due to confusion about the scope of certain permissions or third-party library requirements. Additionally, most end-user participants believed they were responsible for granting a permission request, and it was their choice to do so, a belief shared by many developer participants. Our findings have implications for improving the permission ecosystem for both developers and end-users.

description: Liquid water can become metastable with respect to its vapor in hydrophobic confinement. The resulting dewetting transitions are often impeded by large kinetic barriers. According to macroscopic theory, such barriers arise from the free energy required to nucleate a critical vapor tube that spans the region between two hydrophobic surfaces - tubes with smaller radii collapse, whereas larger ones grow to dry the entire confined region. Using extensive molecular simulations of water between two nanoscopic hydrophobic surfaces, in conjunction with advanced sampling techniques, here we show that for inter-surface separations that thermodynamically favor dewetting, the barrier to dewetting does not correspond to the formation of a (classical) critical vapor tube. Instead, it corresponds to an abrupt transition from an isolated cavity adjacent to one of the confining surfaces to a gap-spanning vapor tube that is already larger than the critical vapor tube anticipated by macroscopic theory. Correspondingly, the barrier to dewetting is also smaller than the classical expectation. We show that the peculiar nature of water density fluctuations adjacent to extended hydrophobic surfaces - namely, the enhanced likelihood of observing low-density fluctuations relative to Gaussian statistics - facilitates this non-classical behavior. By stabilizing isolated cavities relative to vapor tubes, enhanced water density fluctuations thus stabilize novel pathways, which circumvent the classical barriers and offer diminished resistance to dewetting. Our results thus suggest a key role for fluctuations in speeding up the kinetics of numerous phenomena ranging from Cassie-Wenzel transitions on superhydrophobic surfaces, to hydrophobically-driven biomolecular folding and assembly.

Multi Feature Data Fusion-Based Load Forecasting of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Using a Deep Learning Model

description: We propose a forecasting technique based on multi-feature data fusion to enhance the accuracy of an electric vehicle (EV) charging station load forecasting deep-learning model. The proposed method uses multi-feature inputs based on observations of historical weather (wind speed, temperature, and humidity) data as multiple inputs to a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model to achieve a robust prediction of charging loads. Weather conditions are significant influencers of the behavior of EV drivers and their driving patterns. These behavioral and driving patterns affect the charging patterns of the drivers. Rather than one prediction (step, model, or variables) made by conventional LSTM models, three charging load (energy demand) predictions of EVs were made depending on different multi-feature inputs. Data fusion was used to combine and optimize the different charging load prediction results. The performance of the final implemented model was evaluated by the mean absolute prediction error of the forecast. The implemented model had a prediction error of 3.29%. This prediction error was lower than initial prediction results by the LSTM model. The numerical results indicate an improvement in the performance of the EV load forecast, indicating that the proposed model could be used to optimize and improve EV load forecasts for electric vehicle charging stations to meet the energy requirements of EVs.

description: Volumetric expansion of silicon anode particles in a lithium-ion battery during charging may lead to the generation of undesirable internal stresses. For a cylindrical particle such growth may also lead to failure by buckling if the expansion is constrained in the axial direction due to other particles or supporting structures. To mitigate this problem, the possibility of reducing axial growth is investigated theoretically by studying simple modifications of the solid cylinder geometry. First, an annular cylinder is considered with lithiation either from the inside or from the outside. In both cases, the reduction of axial growth is not found to be significant. Next, explicit physical constraints are studied by addition of a non-growing elasto-plastic material: first, an outer annular constraint on a solid silicon cylinder, and second a rod-like inner constraint for an annular silicon cylinder. In both cases, it is found that axial growth can be reduced if the yield stress of the constraining material is significantly higher than that of silicon and/or the thickness of the constraint is relatively high. Phase diagrams are presented for both the outer and the inner constraint cases to identify desirable operating zones. Finally, to interpret the phase diagrams and isolate the key physical principles two different simplified models are presented and are shown to recover important qualitative trends of the numerical simulation results.

Digital stress among adolescents: Longitudinal associations between entrapment, depressive symptoms, and friendship quality
Creators: name: Fox, Kara Anne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Many adolescents feel a sense of pressure to always be available to their friends via digital means. The present study examines longitudinal associations between adolescents’ specific stress related to meeting digital availability expectations within a best friendship, or entrapment, and psychosocial adjustment. Participants (n = 608; 53% female; Mage = 16.04) were students in a rural, lower-income school district in the southeastern US, and completed self-report measures of entrapment, friendship quality (e.g., intimacy, conflict), and depressive symptoms at two timepoints, one year apart. Regression analyses revealed that, contrary to hypotheses, entrapment is associated prospectively with higher levels of friendship conflict among boys, but not girls, and with lower levels of depressive symptoms at high levels of rejection sensitivity.  Findings suggest that entrapment may reflect a person’s individual perception of digital-social dynamics and act more like a cognitive or interpersonal vulnerability than a stressor. Entrapment may also disproportionally negatively affect boys.

description: The chiral magnetic effect is the generation of electric current induced by chirality imbalance in the presence of magnetic field. It is a macroscopic manifestation of the quantum anomaly in relativistic field theory of chiral fermions (massless spin $1/2$ particles with a definite projection of spin on momentum) -- a dramatic phenomenon arising from a collective motion of particles and antiparticles in the Dirac sea. The recent discovery of Dirac semimetals with chiral quasi-particles opens a fascinating possibility to study this phenomenon in condensed matter experiments. Here we report on the first observation of chiral magnetic effect through the measurement of magneto-transport in zirconium pentatelluride, ZrTe_5. Our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments show that this material's electronic structure is consistent with a 3D Dirac semimetal. We observe a large negative magnetoresistance when magnetic field is parallel with the current. The measured quadratic field dependence of the magnetoconductance is a clear indication of the chiral magnetic effect. The observed phenomenon stems from the effective transmutation of Dirac semimetal into a Weyl semimetal induced by the parallel electric and magnetic fields that represent a topologically nontrivial gauge field background.

description: The evolution of galaxies is connected to the growth of supermassive black holes in their centers. During the quasar phase, a huge luminosity is released as matter falls onto the black hole, and radiation-driven winds can transfer most of this energy back to the host galaxy. Over five different epochs, we detected the signatures of a nearly spherical stream of highly ionized gas in the broadband X-ray spectra of the luminous quasar PDS 456. This persistent wind is expelled at relativistic speeds from the inner accretion disk, and its wide aperture suggests an effective coupling with the ambient gas. The outflow's kinetic power larger than 10^46 ergs per second is enough to provide the feedback required by models of black hole and host galaxy co-evolution.

description: In this work we report the independent discovery and analysis of nine new compact triply eclipsing triple star systems found with the TESS mission: TICs 47151245, 81525800, 99013269, 229785001, 276162169, 280883908, 294803663, 332521671, and 356324779. Each of these nine systems exhibits distinct third-body eclipses where the third (`tertiary') star occults the inner eclipsing binary (EB), or vice versa. We utilize a photodynamical analysis of the TESS photometry, archival photometric data, TESS eclipse timing variations of the EBs, available archival spectral energy distribution curves (SED), and, in some cases, newly acquired radial velocity observations, to solve for the parameters of all three stars, as well as most of the orbital elements. From these analyses we find that the outer orbits of all nine systems are viewed nearly edge on (i.e., within $\lesssim 4^\circ$), and 6 of the systems are coplanar to within $5^\circ$; the others have mutual inclination angles of $20^\circ$, $41^\circ$, and possibly $179^\circ$ (i.e., a retrograde outer orbit). The outer orbital periods range from 47.8 days to 604 days, with eccentricities spanning 0.004 to 0.61. The masses of all 18 EB stars are in the range of 0.9-2.6 M$_\odot$ and are mostly situated near the main sequence. By contrast, the masses and radii of the tertiary stars range from 1.4-2.8 M$_\odot$ and 1.5-13 R$_\odot$, respectively. We make use of the system parameters from these 9 systems, plus those from a comparable number of compact triply eclipsing triples published previously, to gain some statistical insight into their properties.

Drivers of microbial diversity in the temperate coral Oculina arbuscula
Creators: name: Dulskiy, Anastasia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Disruption of the coral-algal symbiosis (bleaching) in response to anthropogenic stressors, such as warming and nutrient pollution, represents a significant threat to coral reefs worldwide. Corals are complex meta-organisms (“holobionts”) that host a variety of microbes, and recent evidence supports the role of bacteria in facilitating coral acclimatization to environmental stressors. Oculina arbuscula, an abundant scleractinian coral in the southeastern US, is characterized by a facultative symbiosis with photosynthetic algae (Symbiodiniaceae), allowing for investigation of coral host biology at varying levels of symbiosis. Here, I use 16S and ITS2 metabarcoding to investigate variation in coral-associated bacterial and algal communities in symbiotic (high symbiont density) and aposymbiotic (low symbiont density) O. arbuscula colonies along an inshore-offshore disturbance gradient in North Carolina. I found that O. arbuscula microbiomes significantly differed from the surrounding environment across sites and seasons, and that evenness of O. arbuscula microbiomes was higher in nearshore environments. Two bacterial taxa (Thiovulum and Burkholderiaceae) that have previously been suggested as disease indicators in tropical corals were present in high relative abundance across O. arbuscula samples, suggesting potential functional roles for these bacteria within the temperate coral holobiont. Lastly, coral-associated bacterial diversity and community structure did not differ between symbiotic states, but symbiont density was found to be a strong predictor of alpha diversity. Interestingly, the relationship between density and alpha diversity varied between sites, which I explain using a model incorporating ideas from resource allocation theory and the mutualism-parasitism hypothesis. Overall, this study provides a novel investigation of the microbial ecology of O. arbuscula, furthering our understanding of the coral-algal symbiosis and providing foundational knowledge of an ecologically important species to North Carolina hardbottom ecosystems.

Poetry and the public
Creators: name: Sevcik, Sally R.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Using the work of Adrienne Rich as a lens, this dissertation examines three important intersections of poetry and the public in the U.S. since World War II: the postwar lyric, 1960s avant-garde and political poetry, and the intertwining of poetry and politics in second wave feminism. Framed by an evolving theory and history of public spheres, it reads Rich's poems in terms of how they address and respond to specific audiences. It considers how her early work is nurtured by and increasingly struggles with an elite postwar intellectual milieu. It then shows how her poems respond to the sixties avant garde and political communities especially the Black Mountain poets, the Black Arts Movement, and the antiwar movement. Finally, it examine how Rich situated her seventies poems materially and discursively in the emerging feminist movement and created a poetry that, rather than reflecting politics, became a form of political action and a catalyst for many of the movement's political and theoretical accomplishments. Drawing on extensive archival research, the dissertation reads selected poems as performances that engage, project, and are pressured by particular publics while it argues that Rich's seventies poems become political in ways that confound standard ideas about the relationship between poetry and politics.
MMPI-2 Findings of Primitive Defenses in Alienating Parents

description: To test the involvement of primitive defenses in Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS), we collected 158 MMPI-2s from court ordered custody evaluations from 7 forensic psychology practices; 76 were PAS cases and 82 were custody cases without PAS (controls). We used two MMPI-2 indexes to measure primitive defenses: L + K − F and (L + Pa + Sc) − (Hy + Pt). We found that mothers and fathers who were alienators had higher (clinical range) scores indicating primitive defenses such as splitting and projective identification, than control mothers and fathers (normal range scores) in both our indexes. Target parents were mostly similar to the control parents. The results showed strong support for Gardner’s definition of PAS.

description: NR2E3 is a nuclear hormone receptor gene required for the correct development of the retinal rod photoreceptors. Expression of NR2E3 protein in rod cell precursors suppresses cone-specific gene expression and, in concert with other transcription factors including NRL, activates the expression of rod-specific genes. Pathogenic variants involving NR2E3 cause a spectrum of retinopathies, including enhanced S-cone syndrome, Goldmann-Favre syndrome, retinitis pigmentosa, and clumped pigmentary retinal degeneration, with limited evidence of genotype-phenotype correlations. A common feature of NR2E3-related disease is an abnormally high number of cone photoreceptors that are sensitive to short wavelength light, the S-cones. This characteristic has been supported by mouse studies, which have also revealed that loss of Nr2e3 function causes photoreceptors to develop as cells that are intermediate between rods and cones. While there is currently no available cure for NR2E3-related retinopathies, there are a number of emerging therapeutic strategies under investigation, including the use of viral gene therapy and gene editing, that have shown promise for the future treatment of patients with NR2E3 variants and other inherited retinal diseases. This review provides a detailed overview of the current understanding of the role of NR2E3 in normal development and disease, and the associated clinical phenotypes, animal models, and therapeutic studies.

description: The Radio Interferometer Measurement Equation (RIME) is a matrix-based mathematical model that describes the response of a radio interferometer. The Jones calculus it employs is not suitable for describing the analogue components of a telescope. This is because it does not consider the effect of impedance mismatches between components. This paper aims to highlight the limitations of Jones calculus, and suggests some alternative methods that are more applicable. We reformulate the RIME with a different basis that includes magnetic and mixed coherency statistics. We present a microwave network inspired 2N-port version of the RIME, and a tensor formalism based upon the electromagnetic tensor from special relativity. We elucidate the limitations of the Jones-matrix-based RIME for describing analogue components. We show how measured scattering parameters of analogue components can be used in a 2N-port version of the RIME. In addition, we show how motion at relativistic speed affects the observed flux. We present reformulations of the RIME that correctly account for magnetic field coherency. These reformulations extend the standard formulation, highlight its limitations, and may have applications in space-based interferometry and precise absolute calibration experiments.

description: The development of technologies of multimedia, linked to that of Internet and democratization of high speed, has made henceforth E-learning possible for learners being in virtual classes and geographically distributed. One benefit to taking course online is that the online course structure is typically more student focused than teacher centered and encouraging more active participation by students in collaborative learning activities. The quality and quantity of asynchronous and synchronous communications are the key elements for E-learning success. A potential problem that has received little exploration is student's feeling of isolation. It is important to have a propitious supervision to breaking down learner feeling isolation in E learning environment. This feeling of isolation is among the main causes of loss and high rates of dropout in E-learning. It impacts on their levels of participation, satisfaction and learning. To overcome this feeling of isolation, we aim, by this research, to provide the trainer and each learner with an environment allowing them to behave as if being face to face; in other words, to approach the pedagogy of classroom teaching. Our contribution to reduce the feeling of isolation is to ensure the presence of the teacher in the educational tools. These tools aim to establish a real dialogue with the learner, forcing him to take an active part in their learning. Among the tools we offer, video conference Openmeeting integrated in Moodle providing the possibility of using the notion of class and whiteboard, the indicator of motivation quantification tool based hand gesture that we developed and finally social networks web 2. 0 like Facebook, youtube, twitter to promote collaboration, sharing and communication of the learner with his peers.

description: Radiogenic isotopic analyses of volcanic and plutonic rocks along, and adjacent to, the Colorado Mineral Belt (CMB) suggest Nd and Pb isotopic ratios exhibit clear spatial patterns; whereas Ca and Sr isotopes are loosely correlated with rock composition. Most striking is the 208Pb/204Pb, which is highly correlated with latitude along the Arkansas River Valley, regardless of age, major element composition, or formation history. Differences in 143Nd/144Nd in the data suggest some geographic control, but variability in mantle/crust ratio of magma sources are also evident within magmatic centers. The roughly N-S geographic control on 208Pb/204Pb, loosely fits with the map pattern of the Proterozoic accreted terrains, which have a contact strike that is roughly parallel with the CMB. Rocks with high 40Ca/44Ca and may indicate extensive recycling of Proterozoic crust, and/or be the result of late-stage assimilation of host rock material via silicic partial melts and/or aqueous fluids.

description: Dedicated tensor accelerators demonstrate the importance of linear algebra in modern applications. Such accelerators have the potential for impressive performance gains, but require programmers to rewrite code using vendor APIs - a barrier to wider scale adoption. Recent work overcomes this by matching and replacing patterns within code, but such approaches are fragile and fail to cope with the diversity of real-world codes. We develop ATC, a compiler that uses program synthesis to map regions of code to specific APIs. The mapping space that ATC explores is combinatorially large, requiring the development of program classification, dynamic analysis, variable constraint generation and lexical distance matching techniques to make it tractable. We apply ATC to real-world tensor and linear algebra codes and evaluate them against four state-of-the-art approaches. We accelerate between 2.6x and 7x more programs, leading to over an order of magnitude performance improvement.

Daughters out of line

description: A neglected and marginalized area of Renaissance studies, the role of daughters in the representation of marriage in Cretan literature of the seventeenth century offers a unique perspective on the crisis of Byzantine aristocratic values and feudal structures of authority. Colonized by Venice, the powerful Cretan Byzantine aristocracy was confronted with alien rulers, a new commercial economy and a disruptive Latin/Italian Renaissance culture. In the context of this confrontation between Byzantium and Venice, between feudal kin structures and a modern politics of expediency, traditional marriage roles and alliances were strained. My dissertation focuses on three paradigmatic texts which, in different genres and with different outcomes, dramatize the resistance of aristocratic daughters who, acting out of line, challenge their roles as political objects of exchange among powerful men. Erotokritos (1713) by Vitsentzos Kornaros is an epic romance in which a royal daughter refuses to marry an appropriate suitor chosen by her father because of her love for a man who is not her social equal, thus threatening the consolidation of national identity. The conflict is finally resolved after the princess and her suitor disguised as an alien warrior prove their worth to the king through extraordinary feats of loyalty and heroism and are allowed to marry. The pastoral Panoria (1585-1590) by Georgios Chortatzis represents the crisis of traditional paternal authority and social equilibrium when a daughter refuses a convenient marriage and chooses a pastoral retreat in the name of her autonomy and independence. Paradoxically, this crisis is resolved by Eros, recruited, against the odds, in the service of the arranged marriage. However, in Vasileus O Rodolinos (1647) by Andreas Ioannis Troilos a bizarre arrangement to reconcile the values of feudal kingship, romantic love and male friendship through a marriage based on lies and betrayal, tragically fails and, as in Hamlet, social chaos results. Epic romance, pastoral and tragedy, these texts, which provide insights into a world of cultural, economic and ideological transformations, present their different resolutions and dissolutions of problematic marriage plots.
Game-Theoretic Analysis of the Hegselmann-Krause Model for Opinion Dynamics in Finite Dimensions

description: We consider the Hegselmann-Krause model for opinion dynamics and study the evolution of the system under various settings. We first analyze the termination time of the synchronous Hegselmann-Krause dynamics in arbitrary finite dimensions and show that the termination time in general only depends on the number of agents involved in the dynamics. To the best of our knowledge, that is the sharpest bound for the termination time of such dynamics that removes dependency of the termination time from the dimension of the ambient space. This answers an open question in [1] on how to obtain a tighter upper bound for the termination time. Furthermore, we study the asynchronous Hegselmann-Krause model from a novel game-theoretic approach and show that the evolution of an asynchronous Hegselmann-Krause model is equivalent to a sequence of best response updates in a well-designed potential game. We then provide a polynomial upper bound for the expected time and expected number of switching topologies until the dynamic reaches an arbitrarily small neighborhood of its equilibrium points, provided that the agents update uniformly at random. This is a step toward analysis of heterogeneous Hegselmann-Krause dynamics. Finally, we consider the heterogeneous Hegselmann-Krause dynamics and provide a necessary condition for the finite termination time of such dynamics. In particular, we sketch some future directions toward more detailed analysis of the heterogeneous Hegselmann-Krause model.

description: The discovery of transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) provided conclusive proof that neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) comprise part of the evolutionary pathway towards binary millisecond pulsars (MSPs). Redback and black widow `spider' pulsars are a sub-category of binary MSPs that `devour' their companions through ablation - the process through which material is lifted from the stellar surface by a pulsar wind. In addition to reducing the companion star's mass, ablation introduces observable characteristics like extended, energy-dependent and asymmetric eclipse profiles in systems observed at a sufficiently high inclination. Here, we present a detailed study and comparison of the X-ray eclipses of two NS LMXBs; $\textit{Swift}$ J1858.6$-$0814 and EXO 0748$-$676. Some of the X-ray eclipse characteristics observed in these two LMXBs are similar to the radio eclipse characteristics of eclipsing redback and black widow pulsars, suggesting that they may also host ablated companion stars. X-ray irradiation or a pulsar wind could drive the ablation. We conduct orbital phase-resolved spectroscopy for both LMXBs to map the column density, ionization and covering fraction of the material outflow. From this, we infer the presence of highly ionized and clumpy ablated material around the companion star in both systems. We term LMXBs undergoing ablation, $\textit{false widows}$, and speculate that they may be the progenitors of redback pulsars under the assumption that ablation begins in the LMXB stage. Therefore, the false widows could provide a link between LMXBs and spider pulsars. The detection of radio pulsations during non-accreting states can support this hypothesis.

Economic Inequality Causes Alterations to Brain Functioning During Risk Taking

description: Recent psychological work reveals that high levels of economic inequality leads people to take greater risks. But why is this the case? To address this question, we utilized neuroimaging, which allowed us to examine three possible neurocognitive mechanisms through which economic inequality may influence risk taking: 1) enhanced cognitive conflict, 2) heightened sensitivity to reward, and 3) impaired executive control. We found that as participants took greater risks under conditions of high economic inequality (vs. low economic inequality), they showed reduced neural activity within the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a brain region involved in cognitive conflict, as well as reduced activity within the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the left inferior frontal gyrus/middle frontal gyrus, brain regions involved in cognitive control. These findings suggest that economic inequality may lead to greater risk taking in part by dampening cognitive conflict and impairing one’s ability to exert top-down control during decision-making.
