description: This work exploits the zeptoliter sensing volume of electrolyte-filled nanopores to determine, simultaneously and in real time, the approximate shape, volume, charge, rotational diffusion coefficient, and dipole moment of individual proteins. We have developed the theory for a quantitative understanding and analysis of modulations in ionic current that arise from rotational dynamics of single proteins as they move through the electric field inside a nanopore. The resulting multi-parametric information raises the possibility to characterize, identify, and quantify individual proteins and protein complexes in a mixture. This approach interrogates single proteins in solution and determines parameters such as the approximate shape and dipole moment, which are excellent protein descriptors and cannot be obtained otherwise from single protein molecules in solution. Taken together, this five-dimensional characterization of biomolecules at the single particle level has the potential for instantaneous protein identification, quantification, and possibly sorting with implications for structural biology, proteomics, biomarker detection, and routine protein analysis.

description: Facilitating ageing in place enables older people to remain in familiar places, namely their homes and neighbourhoods, as long as possible. However, urban redevelopment that includes the forced relocation of residents often makes ageing in place impossible. The present research examined how impending neighbourhood demolition affects the ageing in place of older people in Shenyang, China. Starting with the presscompetence model and related academic work concerning the influences of person– environment interaction on the wellbeing of older people, this paper discusses the impact of forced relocation and demolition on the meaning of home, the living arrangement and the role of family, and strategies to maintain the independence of older people. Transcript analysis of 54 semi-structured interviews with older residents revealed their ambivalent feelings towards the impending demolition. Long-term residence in declining neighbourhoods makes them feel rooted and enables them to develop their living strategies and plan for ageing in place. However, neighbourhood decline challenges their daily activities and they increasingly struggle to maintain their independence, which leads them to consider impending neighbourhood redevelopment as an opportunity to improve their living conditions. The impending forced relocation interrupts their place-based identity and living strategies and causes significant stress due to their lack of autonomy in the decision making on the relocation process, the move itself and their uncertainty regarding their post-relocation life. Implications for further research and policy are provided.

description: We perform an analytical sensitivity analysis for a model of a continuous-time branching process evolving on a fixed network. This allows us to determine the relative importance of the model parameters to the growth of the population on the network. We then apply our results to the early stages of an influenza-like epidemic spreading among a set of cities connected by air routes in the United States. We also consider vaccination and analyze the sensitivity of the total size of the epidemic with respect to the fraction of vaccinated people. Our analysis shows that the epidemic growth is more sensitive with respect to transmission rates within cities than travel rates between cities. More generally, we highlight the fact that branching processes offer a powerful stochastic modeling tool with analytical formulas for sensitivity which are easy to use in practice.

"Dream the rest": On the Mystery and Vernacular Modernism of Felipe Jesus Consalvos, Cubamerican "Cigarmaker, Creator, Healer, & Man"
Creators: name: Greaves, Brendan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Little is known about enigmatic Cuban American cigarmaker and artist Felipe Jesus Consalvos (1891-c. 1960), whose over 800 collages were discovered at a West Philadelphia garage sale in 1983. By employing diverse disciplinary and critical tools, this thesis examines Consalvos's collage practice by speculatively tracking its orbit within a constellation of enmeshed contexts: the radical sociopolitical world of Cuban American tabaqueros; the fraught history of U.S.-Cuban relations and associated processes of cultural appropriation and hybridization; the rise of collage as a recursive development within both vernacular and elite or academic expressive culture; Consalvos's potential positioning within the aligned discourses of contemporaneous Euro-American modernist art and poetry (especially Dada, Surrealism, and Pop); the artist's self-declared role as healer; and the machinations of the contemporary North American art market. Essentialist notions of the vernacular, the modern, and the authentic interpenetrate and collapse upon a close analysis of his compelling, unclassifiable collages.

Year: 2009

description: Objective: Our aim is to determine if virtual surgery performed on 3-D cone beam CT models correctly simulated the actual surgical outcome of Class III orthognathic surgical patients. Methods: All data was acquired from the UNC orthognathic surgery stability studies. We created segmentations of the maxillofacial hard tissues of twenty class III patients. We performed virtual surgeries on cone beam CT images using the CranioMaxilloFacial Application software. Results: The virtual surgical models were superimposed on the models of the actual surgical outcomes. The virtual surgery accurately recreated all surgical movements. Surgery residents showed greater variability in lateral ramus positioning than attending faculty. Conclusions: Our methodology demonstrated valid recreation of the subjects' craniofacial skeleton. It allows the surgeon to better predict surgical outcomes. Future validation of occlusal and soft tissue components would be valuable. Virtual surgical training for surgical residents could be beneficial. Supported by NIDCR DE 005215 and the SAO

description: In order to reproduce the high-mass end of the galaxy mass-distribution, some process must be responsible for the suppression of star-formation in the most massive of galaxies. Commonly Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are invoked to fulfil this role, but the exact means by which they do so is still the topic of much debate, with studies finding evidence for both the suppression and enhancement of star-formation in AGN hosts. Using the ZFOURGE and NMBS galaxy surveys, we investigate the host galaxy properties of a mass-limited (M$_{\odot}$ $\ge$ 10$^{10.5}$ M$_{\odot}$), high-luminosity (L$_{1.4}$ $>$ 10$^{24}$ W Hz$^{-1}$) sample of radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei to a redshift of z = 2.25. In contrast to low redshift studies, which associate radio-AGN activity with quiescent hosts, we find that the majority of z $>$ 1.5 radio-AGN are hosted by star-forming galaxies. Indeed, the stellar populations of radio-AGN are found to evolve with redshift in a manner that is consistent with the non-AGN mass-similar galaxy population. Interestingly, we find the radio-AGN fraction is constant across a redshift range of 0.25 $\le$ z $

The effect of one-and-done players on Division I men’s college basketball programs
Creators: name: Fanney, S. Brandon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: In 2006, the NBA instituted a rule that required players to be one year removed from high school before they were eligible to enter the NBA draft. As a result, many of the nation's top high school basketball players decided to play NCAA Division I college basketball for one season, until they could enter the draft. These players became known as one-and-dones and this study was created to determine their impact on college basketball. Their impact was measured with five variables: winning percentage, NCAA tournament games, attendance, merchandise sales, and roster turnover. Of the five variables only NCAA tournament games was found to be significantly different with a one-and-done player. However, because of the popularity and importance of the NCAA tournament, it can be concluded that one-and-done players have had a significant effect on Division I Men's College Basketball Programs.

Regional body-wave tomography of the Peruvian flat slab
Creators: name: Young, Bissett E.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: Local travel time data were used to create three dimensional tomography models of Vp and Vs above the flat slab in southern Peru, where the Nazca plate subducts subhorizontally beneath the continental lithosphere. The Peruvian flat slab segment corresponds to a gap in the volcanic arc and far-field thick-skinned deformation in the Eastern Cordillera. Despite ongoing research, there is little consensus on the causes and consequences of flat slab subduction. We present results from regional body-wave tomography which show high S-wave velocities above the slab for a region that coincides with the location of the Nazca ridge, a bathymetric high subducting at ~ 15°S. We propose that fast S-wave arrivals can be explained by mantle anisotropy. We attribute low Vs observed in the mantle north of the ridge to the presence of hydrous phases, resulting from the depth dependent dehydration of amphibole in an area where the slab is deeper.

Year: 2023

description: The creative team behind Founding Monsters and Founding Monsters Tales have created a new comic that takes a more scientific and less historic approach to the giant mammals that once roamed North America. The Mystery of the Missing Megafauna explores how changing climate impacted biodiversity and megafauna populations in North America at the end of the last Ice Age. Particular attention is placed on the extinction of mastodons, mammoths, giant ground sloths and other megafauna whose fossils are found at Saltville in southwestern Virginia. This comic draws a connection to contemporary climate change and the major extinctions happening today. The narrative is suitable for children and intended as an educational resource.

description: The parallax of pulsation, and its implementations such as the Baade-Wesselink method and the infrared surface bright- ness technique, is an elegant method to determine distances of pulsating stars in a quasi-geometrical way. However, these classical implementations in general only use a subset of the available observational data. Freedman & Madore (2010) suggested a more physical approach in the implementation of the parallax of pulsation in order to treat all available data. We present a global and model-based parallax-of-pulsation method that enables including any type of observational data in a consistent model fit, the SpectroPhoto-Interferometric modeling of Pulsating Stars (SPIPS). We implemented a simple model consisting of a pulsating sphere with a varying effective temperature and a combina- tion of atmospheric model grids to globally fit radial velocities, spectroscopic data, and interferometric angular diameters. We also parametrized (and adjusted) the reddening and the contribution of the circumstellar envelopes in the near-infrared photometric and interferometric measurements. We show the successful application of the method to two stars: delta Cep and eta Aql. The agreement of all data fitted by a single model confirms the validity of the method. Derived parameters are compatible with publish values, but with a higher level of confidence. The SPIPS algorithm combines all the available observables (radial velocimetry, interferometry, and photometry) to estimate the physical parameters of the star (ratio distance/ p-factor, Teff, presence of infrared excess, color excess, etc). The statistical precision is improved (compared to other methods) thanks to the large number of data taken into account, the accuracy is improved by using consistent physical modeling and the reliability of the derived parameters is strengthened thanks to the redundancy in the data.

Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Purpose: To determine if Temporomandibular Joint bony changes are correlated with self-reported pain, limitation in range of motion, crepitation, pain on palpation and jaw use. Materials and Methods: Clinical data and Cone Beam Computed Tomography images of 30 patients with TMJ osteoarthritis at the UNC School of Dentistry Orofacial Pain Clinic were analyzed. Koyama's1 and Ahmad's2 criteria were used to classify the condylar bony changes. Clinical measures included pain rating and mandibular range of motion. Generalized Linear Modeling was used to correlate the clinical and radiographic findings. Spearman's Rho was used to correlate Koyama's with Ahmad's classifications. Results: Correlation between the maximum condyle change and verbal pain rating and mandibular range of motion was poor. However both the Koyama and RDC/TMD classifications were highly correlated for average and maximum bony change. Conclusion: The findings of this study do not support the use of radiographs alone for diagnosis and treatment planning.

description: The current state-of-the-art Entity Linking (EL) systems are geared towards corpora that are as heterogeneous as the Web, and therefore perform sub-optimally on domain-specific corpora. A key open problem is how to construct effective EL systems for specific domains, as knowledge of the local context should in principle increase, rather than decrease, effectiveness. In this paper we propose the hybrid use of simple specialist linkers in combination with an existing generalist system to address this problem. Our main findings are the following. First, we construct a new reusable benchmark for EL on a corpus of domain-specific conversations. Second, we test the performance of a range of approaches under the same conditions, and show that specialist linkers obtain high precision in isolation, and high recall when combined with generalist linkers. Hence, we can effectively exploit local context and get the best of both worlds.

An Examination of the Relationship Between Major Facility Upgrades/Renovations and Select Indicators of Success in Division I-A Football (1997-2006)
Creators: name: McGlaughon, Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between facility upgrades, recruiting success as determined through national rankings and overall winning percentages for major Division I-A football programs. Through a review of available literature, two major viewpoints were discovered. One viewpoint was that facility building creates recruiting advantages and improves program success, the other being that the ongoing arms race compromises the academic mission of a university. The results of the statistical analysis demonstrated that there was a relationship between national recruiting ranking and facility building as well as national recruiting ranking and overall winning percentage.

description: Background: Minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) is increasing in incidence. The aim of this work was to present our experience by reporting short-term and long-term outcomes after MILS for CRLM with comparative analysis of laparoscopic (LLS) and robotic liver surgery (RLS). Methods: Twenty-five patients with CRLM, who underwent MILS between May 2012 and March 2020, were selected from our retrospective registry of minimally invasive liver surgery (MD-MILS). Thirteen of these patients underwent LLS and 12 RLS. Short-term and long-term outcomes of both groups were analyzed. Results: Operating time was significantly longer in the RLS vs. the LLS group (342.0 vs. 200.0 min; p = 0.004). There was no significant difference between the laparoscopic vs. the robotic group regarding length of postoperative stay (8.8 days), measured blood loss (430.4 ml), intraoperative blood transfusion, overall morbidity (20.0%), and liver surgery related morbidity (4%). The mean BMI was 27.3 (range from 19.2 to 44.8) kg/m2. The 30-day mortality was 0%. R0 resection was achieved in all patients (100.0%) in RLS vs. 10 patients (76.9%) in LLS. Major resections were carried out in 32.0% of the cases, and 84.0% of the patients showed intra-abdominal adhesions due to previous abdominal surgery. In 24.0% of cases, the tumor was bilobar, the maximum number of tumors removed was 9, and the largest tumor was 8.5 cm in diameter. The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 84, 56.9, and 48.7%, respectively. The 1- and 3-year overall recurrence-free survival rates were 49.6 and 36.2%, respectively, without significant differences between RLS vs. LLS. Conclusion: Minimally invasive liver surgery for CRLM is safe and feasible. Minimally invasive resection of multiple lesions and large tumors is also possible. RLS may help to achieve higher rates of R0 resections. High BMI, previous abdominal surgery, and bilobar tumors are not a barrier for MILS. Laparoscopic and robotic liver resections for CRLM provide similar long-term results which are comparable to open techniques.

description: Ethanol misuse is frequently associated with a multitude of profound medical conditions, contributing to health-, individual- and social-related damage. A particularly dangerous threat from this classification is coined as alcoholic liver disease (ALD), a liver condition caused by prolonged alcohol overconsumption, involving several pathological stages induced by alcohol metabolic byproducts and sustained cellular intoxication. Molecular, pathological mechanisms of ALD principally root in the innate immunity system and are especially associated with enhanced functionality of the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) pathway. NF-κB is an interesting and convoluted DNA transcription regulator, promoting both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory gene expression. Thus, the abundancy of studies in recent years underlines the importance of NF-κB in inflammatory responses and the mechanistic stimulation of inner molecular motifs within the factor components. Hereby, in the following review, we would like to put emphasis on the correlation between the NF-κB inflammation signaling pathway and ALD progression. We will provide the reader with the current knowledge regarding the chronic and acute alcohol consumption patterns, the molecular mechanisms of ALD development, the involvement of the NF-κB pathway and its enzymatic regulators. Therefore, we review various experimental in vitro and in vivo studies regarding the research on ALD, including the recent active compound treatments and the genetic modification approach. Furthermore, our investigation covers a few human studies.

description: Object This study demonstrates the applicability of semi-LASER localized dynamic $^{31}$P MRS to deeper lying areas of the exercising human soleus muscle (SOL). The effect of accurate localization and high temporal resolution on data specificity is investigated. Materials and Methods To achieve high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a temporal resolution of 6 s, a custom-built calf coil array was used at 7T. The kinetics of phosphocreatine (PCr) and intracellular pH were quantified separately in SOL and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle of 9 volunteers, during rest, plantar flexion exercise and recovery. Results The average SNR of PCr at rest was 64$\pm$15 in SOL (83$\pm$12 in GM). End exercise PCr depletion in SOL (19$\pm$9%) was far lower than in GM (74$\pm$14%). pH in SOL increased rapidly and, in contrast to GM, remained elevated until the end of exercise. Conclusion $^{31}$P MRS in single-shots every 6 s localized in the deeper lying SOL enabled quantification of PCr recovery times at low depletions and of fast pH changes, like the initial rise. Both high temporal resolution and accurate spatial localization improve specificity of Pi and thus pH quantification by avoiding multiple, and potentially indistinguishable sources for changing Pi peak shape.

description: This study presents the utilization of a deep learning model, specifically a multi-classification CNN-LSTM approach, to enhance safety in locomotive maintenance. The model achieved an impressive accuracy of 91.97422%, showcasing its potential to predict and prioritize maintenance issues accurately. Notable predictions include a high likelihood of bearing-related complications and battery performance problems. Further insights highlighted moderate likelihoods for issues concerning cooling systems, electrical components, and other engine parts. Additionally, the model provides a percentage distribution of prevalent issues across specific facilities, such as those in Chicago and Indiana. This highlights the immense potential of the CNN-LSTM model in regionalizing preventive measures, emphasizing its transformative capacity in locomotive maintenance. With continued refinement and application, we anticipate a safer and more efficient trajectory for locomotive maintenance endeavors.

description: Suppose that a compound Poisson process is observed discretely in time and assume that its jump distribution is supported on the set of natural numbers. In this paper we propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach to estimate the intensity of the underlying Poisson process and the distribution of the jumps. We provide a Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme for obtaining samples from the posterior. We apply our method on both simulated and real data examples, and compare its performance with the frequentist plug-in estimator proposed by Buchmann and Grübel. On a theoretical side, we study the posterior from the frequentist point of view and prove that as the sample size n→∞, it contracts around the “true,” data-generating parameters at rate 1/𝑛⎯⎯√, up to a log𝑛 factor.

description: The development of efficient combinatorial treatments is one of the key tasks in modern anti-cancer therapies. An apoptotic signal can either be induced by activation of death receptors (DR) (extrinsic pathway) or via the mitochondria (intrinsic pathway). Cancer cells are characterized by deregulation of both pathways. Procaspase-8 activation in extrinsic apoptosis is controlled by c-FLIP proteins. We have recently reported the small molecules FLIPinB/FLIPinBγ targeting c-FLIPL in the caspase-8/c- FLIPL heterodimer. These small molecules enhanced caspase-8 activity in the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), CD95L/TRAIL-induced caspase-3/7 activation and subsequent apoptosis. In this study to increase the pro-apoptotic effects of FLIPinB/FLIPinBγ and enhance its therapeutic potential we investigated costimulatory effects of FLIPinB/FLIPinBγ in combination with the pharmacological inhibitors of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members such as ABT-263 and S63845. The combination of these inhibitors together with FLIPinB/FLIPinBγ increased CD95L-induced cell viability loss, caspase activation and apoptosis. Taken together, our study suggests new approaches for the development of combinatorial anti-cancer therapies specifically targeting both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways.

description: We prove an inequality of the Loéve-Young type for the Riemann-Stieltjes integrals driven by irregular signals attaining their values in Banach spaces and, as a result, we derive a new theorem on the existence of the Riemann-Stieltjes integrals driven by such signals. Also, for any $p\ge1$ we introduce the space of regulated signals $f:[a,b] \rightarrow W$ ($a0$ by signals whose total variation is of order $δ^{1-p}$ as $δ\rightarrow 0+$ and prove that they satisfy the assumptions of the theorem. Finally, we derive more exact, rate-independent characterisations of the irregularity of the integrals driven by such signals.

Prenatal arsenic exposure and the epigenome: Identifying sites of 5-methyl cytosine alterations that predict functional changes in gene expression in newborn cord blood and subsequent birth outcomes

description: Prenatal exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) is detrimental to the health of newborns and increases the risk of disease later in life. Here we examined newborn cord blood leukocyte samples from the Biomarkers of Exposure to ARsenic (BEAR) pregnancy cohort in Mexico. Changes in iAs-associated DNA methylation were compared to corresponding gene expression levels and birth outcomes. 2,705 genes were identified with iAs-associated differences in DNA methylation. In contrast to minimal association genome-wide, site-specific analyses identified DNA methylation changes that were most predictive of gene expression levels. 16 genes were identified with correlated iAs-associated changes in DNA methylation and mRNA expression, and with enrichment for binding sites of several transcription factors. Furthermore, DNA methylation levels were associated with birth outcomes. These data highlight the complex interplay between DNA methylation and functional changes in gene expression and health outcomes and underscore the need for functional analyses coupled to epigenetic assessments.
