Modulation of Epigenetic Mark 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in Intestinal Organoid Cultures
Creators: name: Morowitz, Jeremy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Chromatin regulation plays a role in establishing and maintaining cell identity, and is generally highly dynamic between stem and differentiated cells. The intestinal epithelium is a monolayer of cells that is replaced every 3-5 days, and is thus a rapidly self-renewing and differentiating tissue. It is not currently understood how the integrity of the intestinal stem cell (ISC) genome is maintained or how the identity of a differentiated cell is dictated. Vital to chromatin regulation and gene expression are epigenetic modifications, such as methylation. The addition of methyl groups to the nucleotide cytosine silences genes, while demethylation allows gene expression. Demethylation pathways produce the epigenetic mark 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) as an intermediate. The conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hmC is accomplished by ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes, which require co-factors, such as the micronutrient alpha-ketoglutarate (a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle). Assessing the global 5-hmC abundance among distinct cellular populations will elucidate this epigenetic mark’s role in determination of cell fate. To investigate this aim, murine intestinal organoid cultures were exposed to varying dosages of dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate, a cell permeable form of alpha-ketoglutarate, in order to modulate TET activity and thus 5-hmC abundance. Through dot blot analysis of 5-hmC abundance, the ability to modulate the epigenetic mark was assessed. Results indicate that exposure of intestinal organoids to dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate leads to phenotypic differences compared to controls, but these differences cannot be attributed to 5-hmC abundance. Understanding the differences in 5-hmC across cellular populations will provide insight into the role of epigenetic modifications in regulating gene expression. Furthermore, the impact of micronutrients on the genome emphasizes the significance of cellular environment for cellular identity.

'This Whole Worshipping World': Proto-Secular Humanist Morality in Moby Dick and Pierre
Creators: name: Becker, Timothy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: In this essay, I intend to show that secular humanist ideals anchor Melville’s three
major novels of the 1850’s—a moral constant amid his metaphysical and theological
uncertainty and a worldview with which he engaged continually throughout his
oscillation between belief and doubt. I argue that a measured and compromising approach
to secular humanism is Melville’s alternative to the maddening search for ‘the absolute’
in nature or in humanity that plagued some of his well-known characters. I begin my
pilgrimage with Melville’s quintessential humanist Ishmael in Moby Dick, contrasting
Ishmael’s humanism and capacity for compromise with the individualism and absolutism
of Ahab. Next, I examine Melville’s challenge to humanist idealism through the downfall
of his eponymous protagonist in Pierre and through his disappointment with U.S. society
as portrayed in The Confidence-Man. Before examining the rise and fall of secular
humanist morality in these works, I begin with a brief overview of the religious landscape
in which Melville was writing and then define all crucial terms.

description: This paper is a sequel to \cite{Tz10}, where a local version of ZFC, LZFC, was introduced and examined and transitive models of ZFC with properties that resemble large cardinal properties, namely Mahlo and $Π_1^1$-indescribable models, were considered. By analogy we refer to such models as "large models", and the properties in question as "large model properties". Continuing here in the same spirit we consider further large model properties, that resemble stronger large cardinals, namely, "elementarily embeddable", "extendible" and "strongly extendible", "critical" and "strongly critical", "self-critical'' and "strongly self-critical", the definitions of which involve elementary embeddings. Each large model property $ϕ$ gives rise to a localization axiom $Loc^ϕ({\rm ZFC})$ saying that every set belongs to a transitive model of ZFC satisfying $ϕ$. The theories ${\rm LZFC}^ϕ={\rm LZFC}$+$Loc^ϕ({\rm ZFC})$ are local analogues of the theories ZFC+"there is a proper class of large cardinals $ψ$", where $ψ$ is a large cardinal property. If $sext(x)$ is the property of strong extendibility, it is shown that ${\rm LZFC}^{sext}$ proves Powerset and $Σ_1$-Collection. In order to refute $V=L$ over LZFC, we combine the existence of strongly critical models with an axiom of different flavor, the Tall Model Axiom ($TMA$). $V=L$ can also be refuted by $TMA$ plus the axiom $GC$ saying that "there is a greatest cardinal", although it is not known if $TMA+GC$ is consistent over LZFC. Finally Vopěnka's Principle ($VP$) and its impact on LZFC are examined. It is shown that ${\rm LZFC}^{sext}+VP$ proves Powerset and Replacement, i.e., ZFC is fully recovered. The same is true for some weaker variants of ${\rm LZFC}^{sext}$. Moreover the theories LZFC$^{sext}$+$VP$ and ZFC+$VP$ are shown to be identical.

description: This pre-registration document has been approved by all researchers involved in the project as of 8/18/2020 Title Do infants expect food-sharers to comfort over toy-sharers? Start Date 8/18/2020 Researchers Ashley J. Thomas, Rebecca Saxe, Elizabeth Spelke Logic and Hypothesis Infants recognize affiliation. Previous studies have suggested that infants recognize several signals of affiliation—they infer affiliation when they see others imitating, synchronizing, speaking a common language, or comforting one another. For example, 4 and 5-month-old infants expect that an individual who imitates someone will approach them later (Powell & Spelke, 2016). Seven-month-old infants expect that individuals who synchronize their actions, by facing one another and moving in a circle, will move in the same pattern later (Powell & Spelke, 2013). Nine-month-olds expect that people who speak the same language will act friendly toward one another (Liberman, Woodward, & Kinzler, 2017). And 15-month-old infants expect that two individuals who are comforted by a common one, will affiliate with one another by touching and synchronizing their actions (Spokes & Spelke, 2017). Do infants differentiate between cues that suggest people are closely affiliated versus other types of social interactions? Here we investigate whether infants recognize cues of close affiliation (e.g. kin, or other close social relations). Two very common cues of close affiliation are food sharing and being willing to share bodily fluids (and sometimes food sharing that involves sharing bodily fluids). Examples include nursing, kissing, or eating or drinking from the same vessel (e.g. Fiske, 1992). In the current study we investigate whether 17 to 19-month old infants expect that a person who shares food with a puppet, that involves sharing saliva, will be more likely to comfort that puppet than a person who passes a ball back and forth.

description: (abridged) We report on multi-wavelength measurements of Swift J1753.5-0127 in the hard state at L=2.7e36 erg/s (assuming d=3 kpc) in 2014. The radio emission is optically thick synchrotron, presumably from a compact jet. We take advantage of the low extinction and model the near-IR to UV emission with a multi-temperature disk model. Assuming a BH mass of M_BH=5 Msun and a system inclination of 40 deg, the fits imply an inner radius for the disk of Rin/Rg>212 d_3 (5Msun/M_BH). The outer radius is R_out/R_g=90,000 d_3 (5Msun/M_BH), which corresponds to 6.6e10 d_3 cm, consistent with the expected size of the disk. The 0.5-240 keV spectrum measured by Swift/XRT, Suzaku, and NuSTAR is relatively well characterized by a power-law with a photon index of Gamma=1.722+/-0.003, but a significant improvement is seen when a second continuum component is added. Reflection is a possibility, but no iron line is detected, implying a low iron abundance. We are able to fit the entire SED with a multi-temperature disk component, a Comptonization component, and a broken power-law, representing the emission from the compact jet. The broken power-law cannot significantly contribute to the soft X-ray emission, and this may be related to why Swift J1753.5-0127 is an outlier in the radio/X-ray correlation. The broken power-law might dominate above 20 keV, which would constrain the break frequency to be between 2.4e10 Hz and 3.6e12 Hz. Although the fits to the full SED do not include significant thermal emission in the X-ray band, previous observations have consistently seen such a component, and we find that there is evidence at the 3.1-sigma level for a disk-blackbody component with a temperature of 150(+30)(-20) eV and an inner radius of 5-14 R_g. If this component is real, it might imply the presence of an inner accretion disk in addition to the strongly truncated (R_in>212 R_g) disk.

description: In this article, the formulation of Lagrange Multiplier State-Space Substructuring (LM-SSS) is presented and extended to directly compute coupled displacement and velocity state-space models. The LM-SSS method is applied to couple and decouple state-space models established in the modal domain. Moreover, it is used together with tailored postprocessing procedures to eliminate the redundant states originated from the coupling and decoupling operations. This specific formulation of the LM-SSS approach made it possible to develop a tailored coupling form, named Unconstrained Coupling Form (UCF). UCF just requires the computation of a nullspace and does not rely on the selection of a subspace from a nullspace. By exploiting a numerical example, LM-SSS was compared with the Lagrange Multiplier Frequency Based Substructuring (LMFBS) approach, which is currently widely recognized as a reference approach. This was done both in terms of: a)coupled FRFs derived by coupling the state-space models of two substructures and b) decoupled FRFs derived by decoupling the state-space model of a component from the coupled model. LM-SSS showed to be suitable to compute minimal order coupled models and UCF turned out to have similar performance as other coupling forms already presented to the scientific community. As for the decoupling task, the FRFs derived from the LM-SSS approach perfectly matched those obtained by LM-FBS. Moreover, it was also demonstrated that the elimination of the redundant states originated from the decoupling operation was correctly performed. The approaches discussed were exploited on an experimental substructuring application. LM-SSS resulted to be a reliable SSS technique to perform coupling and decoupling operations with state-space models estimated from measured FRFs as well as to provide accurate minimal-order models.

description: The development of hydraulic fracturing technology has dramatically increased the supply and lowered the cost of natural gas in the United States, driving an expansion of natural gas-fired generation capacity in several electrical inter-connections. Gas-fired generators have the capability to ramp quickly and are often utilized by grid operators to balance intermittency caused by wind generation. The time-varying output of these generators results in time-varying natural gas consumption rates that impact the pressure and line-pack of the gas network. As gas system operators assume nearly constant gas consumption when estimating pipeline transfer capacity and for planning operations, such fluctuations are a source of risk to their system. Here, we develop a new method to assess this risk. We consider a model of gas networks with consumption modeled through two components: forecasted consumption and small spatio-temporarily varying consumption due to the gas-fired generators being used to balance wind. While the forecasted consumption is globally balanced over longer time scales, the fluctuating consumption causes pressure fluctuations in the gas system to grow diffusively in time with a diffusion rate sensitive to the steady but spatially-inhomogeneous forecasted distribution of mass flow. To motivate our approach, we analyze the effect of fluctuating gas consumption on a model of the Transco gas pipeline that extends from the Gulf of Mexico to the Northeast of the United States.

The Effect of Campaign Finance on Judicial Legitimacy
Creators: name: Krishnamurthy, Arvind
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Lacking the power of purse and sword, the judiciary does not possess the coercive
force afforded to the legislative and executive branches, leaving it dependent upon institutional
legitimacy for effective functioning. However, due to rising campaign finance in increasingly
political state judicial elections, many have questioned the integrity, independence and legitimacy
of elected judicial officials. These questions came to a head in Williams-Yulee v. Florida Bar
(2015), where the Supreme Court ruled that the personal solicitation of campaign finance by a
judicial candidate was unconstitutional because “the public may lack confidence in a judge’s
ability to administer justice without fear or favor if he [the campaign donor] comes by the
[judges] office asking for favors” (Pg. 9). While this claim seems to have sound theoretical
foundations, empirical evidence on how personally solicited campaign finance affects public trust
is quite sparse. Through the presentation of experimental vignettes, this study presents the
empirical evidence to determine the effects that campaign finance has upon perceived judicial
legitimacy, ultimately finding that elections and campaign finance do not have a statistically
significant effect on ratings of judicial legitimacy.

description: Social media has changed our lives in many ways. The way we communicate is probably affected the most, since social media platforms turn audiences into communicators. By facing these new challenges, organizations have to make sure, not only to satisfy the primary target audience, as it was with mass media before the rise of social media, but also satisfy the online community who observes marketing relevant interactions. The so called by-standers outnumber a single customer with whom the organization interacts with, and therefore they are an important target group. Thus, when organizations are interacting with online users, it is even more critical to determine how the by-stander evaluates the organizational behavior than the actual interaction partner. Altogether, the present dissertation aims to address these new developments by deepening the understanding of by-standers’ evaluation of organizational responses on social media. Two empirical research papers respectively address one of the two discussed major challenges for marketers. Paper 1 aims to investigate how companies should reply to complaints on social media to achieve favorable outcomes of by-standers. Paper 2 examines if the post type of information is crucial for users to determine credibility.

description: The DARWIN project aims to build and operate a next-generation observatory for dark matter and neutrino physics, featuring a time projection chamber with a proposed active target of 40 t of liquid xenon. As an R&D facility to test fundamental components of the future detector, Xenoscope, a full-scale vertical demonstrator with ~400 kg of liquid xenon and up to 2.6 m electron drift length, was built at the University of Zurich. Its main objective is to demonstrate electron drift over unprecedented distances in liquid xenon - first in a purity monitor setup with charge readout, followed by a dual-phase time projection chamber. In this second phase, an array of 48 VUV4 MMPCs from Hamamatsu (model S13371-6050CQ-02) with a 12-channel readout will be placed above the liquid xenon column and operated as a light readout for the secondary proportional scintillation signals coming from extracted electrons in the time projection chamber. This work presents the design and development of the silicon photomultiplier array of Xenoscope, covering the structural and electronic design, sensor characterisation at cryogenic temperature and signal simulation.

The Future of IBD Therapy; It's all about access

description: Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestinal tract that results from a loss of tolerance to the enteric microbiota. Previous studies have established that interleukin (IL)-10 is an important anti-inflammatory cytokine driving intestinal macrophage (IM) tolerance. Within a cell, transcriptional responses are governed by transcription factors binding of accessible, nucleosome-free regions of DNA. Previously published studies have shown that marked changes in chromatin accessibility occur in IMs isolated from colitis-prone Il10-/- mice. Interestingly, addition of ectopic IL-10 to Il10-/- mice did not recover chromatin accessibility changes in 95% of the regions identified, suggesting that these chromatin accessibility changes were stable. We hypothesized that the stable chromatin landscape of Il10-/- macrophages may be altered using small molecule inhibitors of chromatin modifying proteins resulting in the restitution of IM tolerance to the enteric microbiota. A high-throughput screen with a chromatin accessibility readout was used to test small molecule inhibitors of chromatin modifying enzymes in Il10-/- macrophages. Changes in chromatin accessibility were assessed using a relative chromatin inhibition (RCI) score which compares accessibility changes at two regions that are only accessible in Il10-/- macrophages and two control regions. This screen identified several bromodomain inhibitors, including (+)-JQ1, that have the ability to decrease relative chromatin accessibility. Subsequent testing using (+)-JQ1 revealed that (+)-JQ1 attenuates mRNA levels of inflammatory Il6 and Il12ß in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Il10-/- macrophages. We conclude that bromodomain inhibitors decrease chromatin accessibility and attenuate the production of inflammatory cytokines in Il10-/- macrophages.

description: Structure perception is a fundamental aspect of music cognition in humans. Historically, the hierarchical organization of music into structures served as a narrative device for conveying meaning, creating expectancy, and evoking emotions in the listener. Thereby, musical structures play an essential role in music composition, as they shape the musical discourse through which the composer organises his ideas. In this paper, we present a novel music segmentation method, pitchclass2vec, based on symbolic chord annotations, which are embedded into continuous vector representations using both natural language processing techniques and custom-made encodings. Our algorithm is based on long-short term memory (LSTM) neural network and outperforms the state-of-the-art techniques based on symbolic chord annotations in the field.
Regional comparisons of carbon burial within tidal creek marshes in southeastern North Carolina

description: Salt marshes have large capacities for carbon (C) storage due to their high productivity, but because of large differences in sediment accumulation rates over relatively short distances, these regional variations in regards to carbon burial may be high. One core (<50cm) was collected from salt marshes within six tidal creeks in Carteret (3) and New Hanover (3) counties for a total of six cores. Measurements of organic content and carbon signatures (TOC, TN, C:N, %OM), radiochemical tracers (210Pb, 137Cs), and morphology (porosity, DBD) were used to illustrate differences in fluxes of sediment and organic matter to these sites. While organic C and N remained relatively constant across sites, one site from both counties showed increased organic matter with depth. Sites positioned above oyster beds experienced higher C:N and DBD at shallow depths (<25cm). Trends in excess 210Pb inventories suggest that a shift in land use or sea level rise (SLR) during the early 2000s may have resulted in increased accumulation rates. Recent (<10 years) increases in sediment accretion rates could be indicative of the role that hurricanes and large magnitude precipitation events play in sediment accretion. Comparing sediment accretion rates to relative SLR is important to understand the vulnerability of salt marshes to submersion and erosion and the subsequent release of buried C.

description: A microscopic expression of the residual electrical resistivity tensor is derived in linear response theory for Rashba electrons scattering at a magnetic impurity with cylindrical or non-cylindrical potential. The behavior of the longitudinal and transversal residual resistivity is computed for an Fe impurity at the Au(111) surface. We studied the evolution of the resistivity tensor elements as function of the Rashba spin-orbit strength and the magnetization direction of the impurity. We found that the absolute values of longitudinal resistivity reduces with increasing spin-orbit strength of the substrate and that the scattering of the conduction electrons at magnetic impurities with magnetic moments pointing in directions not perpendicular to the surface plane produce a planar Hall effect and an anisotropic magnetoresistance even if the impurity carries no spin-orbit interaction. Functional forms are provided describing the anisotropy of the planar Hall effect and the anisotropic magnetoresistance with respect to the direction of the impurity moment. In the limit of no spin-orbit interaction and a non-magnetic impurity of cylindrical symmetry, the expression of the residual resistivity of a two-dimensional electron-gas has the same simplicity and form as for the three-dimensional electron gas [J. Friedel, NuovoCimento Suppl. 7, 287 (1958)] and can also be expressed in terms of scattering phase shifts.

Year: 2019

description: AbstractObjective: To construct an educational website that enhances knowledge and access to prenatal care for Latina Women in Wake County, North Carolina.  Methods: From September (2018) to March (2019) we collected data using literature review, surveys and meetings regarding the significance of prenatal care, access barriers to prenatal care for the Latina population in the United States, and more specifically in Wake County. Applying the Evaluating Printed Education Materials (EPEM) model, we built an educational website. The content of the website was evaluated by the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT). For the pilot test, the website was published and tested on multiple technological platforms.Results: Survey results and information extracted from meetings were gathered, assessed, and considered while developing the website content: www.cuidadoprenatal919.com. The website informs Latina women about the significance of prenatal care, general information regarding prenatal care, and what to expect at their first appointment. Additionally, essential information concerning Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program, Medicaid, domestic violence, and the Wake County Prenatal Clinic are covered.Conclusion: The website is currently live and disseminated via flyers, word-of-mouth, and promotion by local organizations. The website should be used to promote the initiation of prenatal care among the Latina population of Wake County, North Carolina. The subsequent phase of the EPEM model, the Evaluation Phase, is required to assess the website’s efficacy.   Keywords: Latina; Prenatal Care; Access Barriers; Wake County; Website

description: Background
 TOMO Global Health is an online program which brings together international students and promotes the acquisition of essential competencies through asynchronous learning, to promote interprofessional team working and foster the next generation of global health leaders.

 Summary of Work
 Our case study program identifies key global health challenges and offers participants opportunities to develop solutions and strategic implementation plans to address them. Our recent case study ‘Malaria in Kenya’ consisted of a 6-week program of asynchronous learning modules and live sessions, with international student participants from Kenya, Japan, the UK, and Cyprus, and expert facilitators from Japan and Kenya. Participants were divided into groups, introduced to the project aims, and tasked to create logic trees analysing specific challenges and produce creative output solutions relating to Malaria in Kenya, with financed timelines, operating plan and SWOT analysis.

 Summary of Results
 Posters were produced summarising group findings and solutions. The primary problem identified was the limitation of knowledge and adherence to national guidelines on Malaria in Kenya. Solutions included public education, workshops, and educating healthcare staff, with financial incentives, revision of the medical curriculum and revision of guidelines to support educational improvements. Consequently, posters were distributed by Kenyan healthcare students among local healthcare facilities including subcounty hospitals and dispensaries.

 Discussion and Conclusion
 This case study facilitated the collaboration of healthcare students from different educational and cultural backgrounds and addressed the critical global health challenge of Malaria in Kenya. Strategic implementation plans for identified solutions included collaboration with local NGOs, community outreach, and region-specific management teams. Overall, students were effective in synthesising knowledge gained with previous skills and experience to produce creative solutions, and students were able to collaborate and expand their network at an international level.

 Take home messages TOMO global health is an international online community that fosters the next generation of global health leaders through asynchronous learning. Our case study program brought together international healthcare students to analyse and produce solutions to the challenge of Malaria in Kenya.

Bedside teaching: Is it a good educational tool and from which grade of doctor?
Creators: name: Howard-Walker, Sherene

Year: 2023

description: Introduction:
 Bedside teaching is considered an essential component of medical education and a valuable learning tool as it gives medical students the opportunity to practise physical examinations, history taking, and clinical skills on patients. It is delivered by consultants and junior doctors who would supervise, guide, and provide feedback to the student on their overall performance. The aim of this study was to find out if third year medical students found bedside teaching a good educational tool and if they have a preference of the grade doctor who teaches them.

 Methods:
 A questionnaire was sent out to 350 third year medical students at Barts medical school. It consisted of 11 questions that were based around their thoughts and experiences of bedside teaching and the grades of doctors who were teaching them. Responses were submitted anonymously.

 Results:
 There were 51 medical students who responded to the questionnaire. 98% of them rated the enjoyment and usefulness of bedside teaching a score of 7/10 or above, most of them (64.7%) received bedside teaching once a week and 92.2% of them preferred bedside teaching over lecture-based/classroom- based teaching. The majority of medical students felt that bedside teaching increased their competence and confidence when doing physical examinations, history taking, and clinical skills. Medical students also reported a clear preference of being taught by a junior doctor (84.3%) than a consultant and this was mainly due to them being more approachable, having more time to teach and giving better feedback on their performance.

 Discussion and Conclusion:
 The results from this study suggest that third year medical students found bedside teaching a good educational tool for increasing their overall competence and confidence when doing physical examinations, history taking, and clinical skills. However, there was some variety in the ratings of competence and confidence especially in relation to clinical skills, so exploring this further would be useful. Furthermore, medical students preferred being taught by a junior doctor rather than a consultant as they felt that they are more approachable, had more time to teach and gave better feedback on their performance.

 Take home messages:
 This study demonstrates that third year medical students found bedside teaching to be a good educational tool and they had a clear preference for being taught by a junior doctor.
Evaluating the Genetic Links between Spatially Associated Intrusive and Extrusive Rocks at the Mount Aetna Caldera, Colorado
Creators: name: Hallman, Jason

Year: 2014

description: The epizonal Mount Aetna caldera in central Colorado consists of the Mount Aetna pluton and the associated large-volume Badger Creek Tuff. New CA-TIMS U/Pb zircon ages are consistent with field relations that demonstrate that the Badger Creek Tuff was erupted during the incremental assembly of the ~34.9-34.3 Ma Mount Aetna pluton. The youngest dated portion of the pluton intrudes the ~34.5 Ma Badger Creek Tuff and yields a weighted mean 206Pb/238U age of 34.28 ± 0.06 Ma. This sample also contains 34.9 Ma antecrysts that date the onset of pluton emplacement, but none that are similar in age to the ignimbrite. Similarly, the Badger Creek Tuff has no antecrysts that date the emplacement of the pluton. New major and trace element data are consistent with older studies, and suggest that the Badger Creek Tuff is not the fractionated equivalent of the Mount Aetna pluton. The disparity in age between these units also precludes this possibility. We interpret the eruption of the Badger Creek Tuff to be the result of a sudden and temporary spike in magma flux against the background low-flux assembly of the Mount Aetna pluton.

description: We present a model for the interstellar medium of NGC4214 with the objective to probe the physical conditions in the two main star-forming regions and their connection with the star formation activity of the galaxy. We used the spectral synthesis code Cloudy to model an HII region and the associated photodissociation region (PDR) to reproduce the emission of mid- and far-infrared fine-structure cooling lines from the Spitzer and Herschel space telescopes for these two regions. Input parameters of the model, such as elemental abundances and star formation history, are guided by earlier studies of the galaxy, and we investigated the effect of the mode in which star formation takes place (bursty or continuous) on the line emission. Furthermore, we tested the effect of adding pressure support with magnetic fields and turbulence on the line predictions. We find that this model can satisfactorily predict (within a factor of ~2) all observed lines that originate from the ionized medium ([SIV] 10.5um, [NeIII] 15.6um, [SIII] 18.7um, [SIII] 33.5um, and [OIII] 88um), with the exception of [NeII] 12.8um and [NII] 122um, which may arise from a lower ionization medium. In the PDR, the [OI] 63um, [OI] 145um, and [CII] 157um lines are matched within a factor of ~5 and work better when weak pressure support is added to the thermal pressure or when the PDR clouds are placed farther away from the HII regions and have covering factors lower than unity. Our models of the HII region agree with different evolutionary stages found in previous studies, with a more evolved, diffuse central region, and a younger, more compact southern region. However, the local PDR conditions are averaged out on the 175 pc scales that we probe and do not reflect differences observed in the star formation properties of the two regions.

Is the name worth it? An investigation into the value of stadium naming rights
Creators: name: Wood, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: This thesis examines whether public companies increase shareholder value when
investing in stadium naming rights contracts in one of the four major sports in the
United States (Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National
Football League, National Hockey League). Using stock price event analysis, a
sample size of 93 stadiums was examined over an 119day window to see whether or
not a particular company’s stock price had positive or negative abnormal returns in
comparison to the S&P 500. Analysis showed that only 15/93 or 16% of the sample
provided statistically significant abnormal returns, both positive and negative,
suggesting that company’s stock prices did not differ from normal market
fluctuations. Even with no statistical evidence for any positive returns on stadium
naming rights agreements, companies continue to invest in this type of marketing
strategy, in which additional hypothesis are drawn based on the inconclusive
evidence found from stock price event analysis.
