Ties which Bind the Hands that Feed: A Discussion of the Domestic Marginalization of Mothers in Antiquity and Contemporary Political Implications
Creators: name: Murray, Tara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The role of mother has, throughout intellectual history, been stretched in various ideological directions: in pursuit of biological, social, ethical, and political ends. This project focuses on the ways in which Aristotle's ethical claims about motherhood (as a supreme capacity to care for children, post-birth) have exploited pseudo-biology as a means of excluding mothers from the political sphere and active citizenship. Following this investigation, this thesis addresses the gendered binary between the domestic and political spheres as well as the possible conflation between biological claims and cultural claims that motivate said binary. Included in this cultural study is a case study of a lost ancient Greek tragedy in which a mother chooses her city over her family. Finally, this thesis considers second-wave feminism–as promoted by French philosophers Élisabeth Badinter and Simone de Beauvoir–as a response to Aristotle's problematic expectations of motherhood; however, this form of feminism comes up short in an inability to escape the binary between family and state. Political solutions–that is, paying mothers for their labor (both during pregnancy and post-birth) and redefining homemaking–are briefly examined.

description: Proper, effective and meaningful organization and planning of foreign language lessons is one of the urgent issues today. Because the lesson planning process depends not only on the knowledge and experience of the teacher, but also on several external factors that should be paid special attention. These factors include the language teaching criteria to be applied to the lesson, the standards to be met, and the curriculum. Therefore, the question arises that if we follow what we can plan the lesson of a foreign language correctly.

description: In the aftermath of the September 11th tragedies, transportation infrastructure has become one of the most visible targets since its destruction could result in substantial human casualties, economic losses, and socio-political damages. Improving bridge security is very important in helping various governmental agencies protect and design structures to better withstand extreme blast loadings. Although many bridge owners have developed their own prioritization methodologies, there is still a need for a better approach to prioritize and assess all bridges not only in New Jersey but in the whole United States. This research focuses on bridges located in New Jersey only, however the analysis and results could be applied to bridges in other states. The studies include an analysis on risk management and vulnerability assessment by developing a checklist that will provide identification of critical bridges for security hazards and guidelines for bridge security design in order to reduce their vulnerability to attacks. The analysis will first start by identifying bridges in New Jersey and the different types available. Second, identifying security hazard levels and threats along with their probability of occurrence. Third, discussing bridge vulnerability assessment and developing a comprehensive easy to use security checklist that will categorize bridges according to the likelihood that a bridge will be targeted. Finally, taking different prevention measures that could secure the bridges. Examples were conducted by applying the checklist on various types of bridges to check its validity. However, the questions from the checklist and some other information have been omitted from this paper. For more information please contact New Jersey Department of Transportation or refer to the Simple Bridge Security Inspection Report (Nassif 2006).
A Technoeconomic Analysis of the Challenges and Opportunities in Integrating Inverter-Based Resources into the Electrical Grid
Creators: name: Lavi, Yamit
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Electrical and Electronic Engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs), primarily wind, solar, and battery storage, into the electrical grid has increased yearly in the United States, driven by cost reduction, technological advances, and policy. As grid operators integrate these fundamentally different devices into the grid, there has been a paradigm shift in how they plan and operate the electrical grid. However, grid operators use traditional methods and generators to work around IBRs, rather than taking advantage of their operating capabilities. This thesis proposes solutions to three of the most pressing issues related to integrating IBRs into the electrical grid: voltage stability, frequency support, and transmission expansion. In Chapter 2, I evaluate whether solar photovoltaic (PV) inverters improve nighttime voltages on the grid and how much that operation costs compared to the traditional solution of installing voltage compensators, such as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). I find that nighttime voltages on the grid improve when PV inverters provide voltage support at night, reducing system costs by millions of dollars, or 4- 15 times less costly than installing a STATCOM. In Chapter 3, I examine if IBRs can provide fast frequency response (FFR) to support grid frequency and replace system inertia. I introduce an FFR requirement in a unit commitment and economic dispatch (UCED) model to assess the competitiveness of wind, solar, and battery storage in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) ancillary service market. I find that under low IBR penetration, an FFR requirement increases energy prices by 7%, but that cost goes down to zero under high IBR penetration. In Chapter 4, I investigate whether incorporating long-term load forecast (LTLF) uncertainties can affect the production cost savings differences of transmission expansion projects that accommodate more IBR penetration on the grid, which is a key factor in transmission expansion decision-making. I develop a distribution of LTLF errors for ERCOT’s eight regions that I use in an optimal power flow of a nodal ERCOT model to gauge the effect of LTLF uncertainties on production cost savings of three transmission expansion improvement options. The heterogeneity of the LTLF errors reduces the production cost savings differences between the three options by millions of dollars, making two of the options indistinguishable.

description: How can applications be deployed on the cloud to achieve maximum performance? This question has become significant and challenging with the availability of a wide variety of Virtual Machines (VMs) with different performance capabilities in the cloud. The above question is addressed by proposing a six step benchmarking methodology in which a user provides a set of four weights that indicate how important each of the following groups: memory, processor, computation and storage are to the application that needs to be executed on the cloud. The weights along with cloud benchmarking data are used to generate a ranking of VMs that can maximise performance of the application. The rankings are validated through an empirical analysis using two case study applications; the first is a financial risk application and the second is a molecular dynamics simulation, which are both representative of workloads that can benefit from execution on the cloud. Both case studies validate the feasibility of the methodology and highlight that maximum performance can be achieved on the cloud by selecting the top ranked VMs produced by the methodology.

Women and gender in the Maoist people's war in Nepal: militarization and dislocation
Creators: name: Lohani-Chase, Rama S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This dissertation explores changing gender dynamics during crisis and armed conflict to see how global/transnational movements of people, labor, and capital impact the appropriation and production of gender at the local level. The decade long (1996-2006) "People's War" in Nepal produced three key processes -- militarization, displacement, and altered embodiments of gender -- that impacted Nepali women and society. Through a study of women's position in Nepali political and cultural history and multi-sited ethnographic research on the People's War, the dissertation examines how crisis induced displacement and violence impacted and shaped gender dynamics at the local level and Nepali people's mobility at the transnational/global level. The latter has enabled the concept of a "Nepali diaspora" to be more visible and political, which is a strategy of survival appropriated by the globally dispersed Nepalis as their homeland reels under crisis and violence and as Nepalis continue to leave for work as migrant laborers. A close look at women's participation in the Maoist war and their representation by the Maoists as well as the state military brings new insights into women's agency through the embodiment of militancy and militarism. Yet, the "call to arms" for women in Nepal raises important questions for the feminist politics of representation vis a vis other movements around the globe for peace and social justice. Taking a feminist interdisciplinary perspective, the dissertation explores the ways in which the bio-politics of body, gender, and sexuality are enmeshed with nationalism, ideology and economics and work in the production of the "military woman" and the "revolutionary woman" in contemporary times of transnationalism and globalization.
Investigating the Underlying Mechanisms of Cortical Surface Area Overgrowth in Autism Spectrum Disorder Through Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Creators: name: Bhargava, Shivam
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Many studies have shown that there are associations between brain overgrowth and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). While there is considerable research and evidence showing brain overgrowth in individuals with ASD, the cellular and molecular mechanisms behind cortical surface area overgrowth in autism are not known. The Stein lab aims to study this through induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSCs) derived organoids from individuals with ASD. The present study aims to address how variability in iPSC reprogramming influences differentiation potential. We evaluate this through measuring gene expression of naive and primed pluripotency markers in iPSCs. We did not detect a significant relationship between pluripotency state and differentiation potential in our experiment. The data from this experiment can give insight into how pluripotency potential in reprogrammed iPSCs influences downstream differentiation potential, and will be useful in understanding how iPSC-derived organoids model cortical surface area overgrowth in ASD.
Examining the Impact of Preconception Inorganic Arsenic Exposure on the Mouse Offspring Epigenome
Creators: name: Bousquet, Audrey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Inorganic Arsenic (iAs) is an environmental toxicant and established carcinogen that is found in drinking water across the globe. Vulnerable populations, namely pregnant women, have been found to be negatively impacted by preconception iAs exposure as indicated by a reduction in length and mean gestational age of their newborns. Since it is unknown as to what occurs at the molecular level to cause these gene expression changes, we analyzed the relationship between preconception exposure to iAs and DNA methylation changes of genes found in liver tissue from the first generation offspring of mice. To determine whether DNA methylation is altered as a result of preconception iAs exposure, selected genes for each sample were bisulfite converted and amplified through PCR. The samples then underwent pyrosequencing to quantify the amount of methylation at each site in the desired sequence. The results revealed that DNA methylation in the selected target genes was not altered by preconception iAs exposure; no statistically significant differences were found between the methylation of mouse liver DNA samples whose parents had been exposed to iAs versus those who had not. Ultimately, this suggests that there could be other epigenetic gene modifiers that are responsible for gene expression changes of these target genes found in newborns. Future studies include analyzing a global methylation array to further investigate the mouse genome, which will provide a concrete conclusion as to whether or not other modifications are the driver of gene expression changes.

Embodying race: gender, sex, and the sciences of difference, 1830-1934
Creators: name: Stein, Melissa Norelle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This project uses the body as a site to examine the complex relationship between science, culture, and politics in the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century United States, and the ways in which gender and sex can be used to conceptualize other categories of difference, such as race and sexuality. Scientists during this period naturalized racial difference and socio-political exclusion by insisting that the bodies of racial minorities were not fully male or female at a time when power, citizenship, property, and protection were conferred according to sex. My dissertation makes other important interventions in the existing scholarship on nineteenth-century racial and scientific thought, as well as American race relations. Rather than treating ethnology as static, I reveal significant change over time in scientific discourse on race with regard to gender and sex. Scientists' shifting uses of sex and gender to denote racial difference corresponded to larger shifts in American politics and culture, including Emancipation and the gendered questions of citizenship it raised, the rise of evolutionary theory, and turn-of-the-century fears about miscegenation, immigration, homosexuality, and "race suicide." This discourse was not one-sided or monolithic, however. Accordingly, I also explore tensions within and challenges to white racialist science. Moreover, I demonstrate that scientific discourse was not divorced from the lives of real people; it had a tangible impact on how living human bodies were treated. Finally, while recent scholarship has identified important parallels between racial and sexual science, my work reveals that ethnology and sexology not only shared similar cultural politics in America, they were literally populated by the same prominent scientists.While at its core an intellectual history of scientific thought on race and gender, this dissertation is not concerned only with ideas and discourse, but how such ideas were received and how they shaped race relations. Thus, my work utilizes a variety of sources -- including scientific and medical texts, newspaper articles, private correspondence, political writing, and visual materials such as political cartoons and campaign posters -- to interrogate scientists' engagement with sociopolitical issues as well as the incursion of scientific thought into political culture.
Jim Crow in North Carolina from 1883 to 1905: An Analytical Examination of the Political Conditions that Led to the Jim Crow Regime of the 20th Century
Creators: name: Fantauzzi, Sophia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: This thesis looks at the political conditions of North Carolina from Post-Reconstruction, circa 1877, to 1905, in order to establish the rise of the Jim Crow era of the 20th century. By looking at the state political conditions and recognizing the position held by the federal government, I aim to answer how Jim Crow became legally established specifically in North Carolina. By analytically focusing on politics and combining that analysis with the actual number of laws being enacted, I argue that the year of 1900 was pivotal in legally establishing Jim Crow in North Carolina. I utilize On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance, to identify peak years of Jim Crow laws enacted in the North Carolina State legislature, as well as track the political alliances and political campaign strategies of the Democratic and Republican parties. I argue that the foundation of the Jim Crow era was legally established in the South through the planter and merchant classes dominating in response to a strong a bi-racial coalition of workers and farmers in the 1890s, known as the Fusion movement. By looking at a wide range of years, I track the changes in the political conditions that led to the legal cementation of Jim Crow. From 1900 forward, there would be a more effective and predictable regime that would sweep the South for decades to come.

The Power of Women’s Global Health: A Comparison of Reproductive Multipurpose Prevention Technologies
Creators: name: Jaya Mishra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Despite major progress in family planning and contraception, there are still many barriers to improving reproductive health including access to care and clinics, risks of HIV and STI, male-dominated cultures, and the burden of cost. The DIAL 3D Ring project serves to study the development of a 3D printed multi-purpose intravaginal ring with contraceptive and HIV/STI prevention purposes, in coordination with the UNC NCSU Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, UNC School of Medicine, and UNC Gillings School of Public Health. As a sophomore, I joined the DIAL 3D women's health study as a qualitative researcher and after working on this project throughout undergraduate career, I have realized the true power of women's global health. 

This thesis research question explores how the DIAL 3D technology we are developing serves to globally progress women’s health in comparison to other multi-purpose prevention technologies as seen in international intravaginal ring (IVR) acceptability studies. To truly advance women’s health, women must be in control of their own decisions regarding their bodies. In the last three years of studying qualitative data on women’s preferences for intravaginal rings, we aimed to understand how a multitude of factors could affect women’s acceptance of the ring. With data from qualitative focus groups and discussions, our team was able to provide concrete feedback for the engineering team throughout the DIAL 3D ring development stage. 

Our results provided us with strong data in terms of users’ likely uptake adherence for different features of the physical ring. To fully answer my research question, the data analysis completed in this thesis not only focused on whether or not women would want to use the ring, but what features made them feel most excited and empowered to use it since that is ultimately what will progress women’s health. By looking at size, texture and flexibility, hygiene and cleanliness, color, and ring functionality, I found that results from DIAL 3D are very consistent with the findings of other IVR studies in terms of acceptability, providing great potential for the DIAL 3D ring to help women feel protected and excited about their birth control technology.
A Bayesian study of safety conditions at United States navy shipyards: exploration of statistical models for the severity of injuries and safety deficiencies
Creators: name: McCormack, Allison
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: This study quantitatively examines how personal and environmental factors affect workplace safety, through the Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation of two Bayesian statistical models, one for United States Navy shipyard injuries, and one for safety deficiencies. Each shipyard used two separate databases to track these incidents. The shipyards each maintained their own independent databases while applying a similar records structure. The study models injury severity using a bivariate numeric response level where the responses were days of labor lost by the workplace, and days spent away from the workplace in recovery by the injured worker. The response for the safety deficiency model is the severity rating of one, two, or three, where one means the deficiency poses a serious safety risk, and three means the deficiency poses only a minor risk. Both models operated successfully during simulations, making them candidates for future improvements to refine them further. Both models’ simulation outputs contain unexpected parameter estimates that undermine confidence in the other results. The provided data lacks internal consistency since the variables recorded are not entirely consistent between shipyards, and the shipyards do not use standardized data naming conventions. The data scarcity in the records used also suggests that using data from a wider period of time will also improve the models’ performances. The models provide strong results given the limited information imposed by privacy, security, and contracting concerns associated with military data. Despite these restrictions, the models provide important insights into the underlying system behavior. The results strongly suggest that these models have the potential to accurately represent workplace safety conditions, even for an environment as complex as that of an industrial Navy shipyard.
Private sector innovation in biofuels in the United States: induced by prices or policies
Creators: name: Deshmukh, Rupa
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: It has been shown in recent years that high energy prices induce investments in energy research. $100/barrel oil, strategic concerns, concerns about global warming, and pork barrel politics has also rekindled the enthusiasm of the public and government for policies that encourage research and innovation on biofuels. We look at the biofuels supply chain to identify which components of that chain are conducting biofuel research and how prices and policies might stimulate research and innovation. This paper is a first attempt to develop an econometric model to measure how innovations as measured by ethanol related patents have responded to high oil prices and to government policies. We look at the both demand-side factors such as federal policies subsidizing ethanol production or mandates for the use of biofuel and supply-side factors such as government funding for biofuel research. We find that both oil prices and federal research grants have significant positive effects on innovation. However, the size of the ethanol market has a negative effect as do federal tax credits, with mandates being insignificant.

description: We discuss a possible origin of the experimentally observed nonlinear contribution to the shift $ΔT_{c}=T_c-T_{c}^{0}$ of the critical temperature $T_{c}$ in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with respect to the critical temperature $T_{c}^{0}$ of an ideal gas. We found that accounting for a nonlinear (quadratic) Zeeman effect (with applied magnetic field closely matching a Feshbach resonance field $B_0$) in the mean-field approximation results in a rather significant renormalization of the field-free nonlinear contribution $b_{2}$, namely $ΔT_{c}/T_{c}^{0}\simeq b_{2}^{\ast }(a/λ_{T})^{2}$ (where $a$ is the s-wave scattering length, $λ_{T}$ is the thermal wavelength at $T_{c}^{0}$) with $b_{2}^{\ast }=γ^{2}b_{2}$ and $γ=γ(B_0)$. In particular, we predict $b_{2}^{\ast }\simeq 42.3$ for the $B_{0}\simeq 403G$ resonance observed in the $\ ^{39}K$ BEC.

description: Relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the early Universe provide important clues for understanding the cosmological evolution of supermassive black holes. At high redshift, beyond z=3, we have a very limited sample of jets with sufficiently long observational history which can provide information to extend our knowledge. Studying the apparent proper motion of jet components, using the milli-arcsecond scale resolution very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) technique, can reveal important information on the physical and geometric properties of AGN. Here we present two blazars at 3 < z < 4 that show prominent jet structure with multiple moving components. In both sources, J0805+6144 (z=3.03) and J1658-0739 (z=3.74), the apparent proper motion of each component could be derived using archival and new 8-GHz VLBI datasets covering time periods of almost two decades. The low apparent speeds of the jets are similar to earlier measurements of other high-redshift jetted AGN found in the literature and are consistent with the current cosmological paradigm.

description: The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) at the Xinglong observatory in China is a new 4-m telescope equipped with 4,000 optical fibers. In 2010, we initiated the LAMOST-Kepler project. We requested to observe the full field-of-view of the nominal Kepler mission with the LAMOST to collect low-resolution spectra for as many objects from the KIC10 catalogue as possible. So far, 12 of the 14 requested LAMOST fields have been observed resulting in more than 68,000 low-resolution spectra. Our preliminary results show that the stellar parameters derived from the LAMOST spectra are in good agreement with those found in the literature based on high-resolution spectroscopy. The LAMOST data allows to distinguish dwarfs from giants and can provide the projected rotational velocity for very fast rotators.

description: We present a systematic approach based on Bloch vector's treatment and the Magnus quantum electrodynamical formalism to study qubit manipulation by a train of pulses. These investigations include one of the basic processes involved in quantum computation. The concrete calculations are performed for tunneling quantum dynamics, multiple resonance and off-resonance excitations of qubit driven by Gaussian pulses. In this way, the populations of qubit states due to multiple resonant interactions are investigated for various operational regimes including: single-pulse excitation, two-pulse excitation with phase shift between pulse envelopes being controlling parameter and for excitation with sequential pulses. In the last case, we demonstrate the formation of quasienergetic states and quasienergies of qubit driven by train of identical pulses. In this case the transition probability of qubit exhibits aperiodic oscillations, but also becomes periodically regular for definite values of the quasienergy.

Beyond the Roots: The Power of Performance As A Tool for Racial Reckoning in America
Creators: name: Williams, Imani
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description:  This study aimed to investigate whether performance can be used as a tool for racial reckoning in America. Additionally, this study was concerned with determining if performance can be a form of activism. This qualitative case study took an autoethnographic approach to analyze performance, navigating through racism, systemic issues, and injustice. I argue that performance can be a tool in racial reckoning on both a collective and individual level. By using performance as a tool of activism and reckoning, community building and understanding of the past, present, and possible future events will occur. This work unfolds in two parts: First, I created a one-woman show performance, Beyond the Roots, through autoethnographic research to show the journey of a black woman living in Atlanta,GA. Next, I performed the piece for audiences and collected their initial thoughts, which showed that people were engaged and wanted to take steps to educate themselves about race further. Through the piece's creation, performance, and feedback,Beyond the Roots shows that performance can be a tool for racial reckoning and activism.
Characterization of Bacteroides from the Colon of Human Organ Donors
Creators: name: Kosana, Priya

description: Bacteroides is a genus of gram-negative, obligate anaerobes, that contains over 30 different species. They are highly adapted to the large intestinal mucosa, and play an important role in carbohydrate metabolism.1 The strict anaerobic conditions required to culture these organisms have historically made them difficult to characterize. Traditionally, species of Bacteroides have been isolated from fecal material, which acts as a proxy for the human gut microbiome.2 Such isolates are more likely to reflect the species present in the distal colon, rather than the upper GI tract. To capture Bacteroides species present in the upper GI tract, we isolated Bacteroides strains directly from the proximal colon of the GI tract from two human organ donors. Samples were plated on selective Bacteroides Bile Esculin (BBE) medium. A total of 34 strains were identified by 16S rRNA Sanger sequencing and from these, 20 were selected for whole-genome shotgun (WGS) sequencing. Phenotypic characterization showed variation in carbohydrate metabolism profiles between the strains.

Dextenza®, an intracanalicular insert that is placed into the lower punctal opening of the eye, gradually releases dexamethasone for up to 30 days to alleviate pain and inflammation associated with ophthalmic surgery. A significantly higher proportion of patients treated with the dexamethasone intracanalicular insert than with the placebo insert had no pain at day 8 (co-primary endpoint, 7 days post-operation) across three pivotal phase III trials, and the inflammation co-primary endpoint (absence of anterior chamber cells) at day 14 (13 days post-operation) was met in two of three trials. Overall, the dexamethasone intracanalicular insert was effective and generally well tolerated for the treatment of post-surgical ocular pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. As low patient adherence is an issue for topical ophthalmic anti-inflammatory medications, the convenience (ease of insertion, single application with no patient input and typically no removal required) of the dexamethasone intracanalicular insert makes it a promising emerging option for the treatment of ocular inflammation and pain following ophthalmic surgery.

description: The radio source J0028+0035 is a recently discovered double-double radio galaxy at redshift z=0.398. The relic outer lobes are separated by about 1.1 Mpc while the collinear inner lobes span less than 100 kpc projected onto the sky. In the arcsec-resolution radio images, there is also a central radio feature that offers the intriguing possibility of being resolved into a pc-scale, third pair of innermost lobes. This would make J0028+0035 a rare triple-double source where traces of three distinct episodes of radio activity could be observed. To reveal the compact radio structure of the central component, we conducted observations with the European VLBI Network (EVN) and the enhanced Multi-Element Remotely Linked Interferometer Network (e-MERLIN). Here we present our high-resolution 1.7-GHz image of the core in J0028+0035 that consists of a single mJy-level component. As a bonus, a nearby compact radio source, 5BZU J0028+0035, a coincident object seen in the background, with an angular separation of only ∼15 arcsec from our
 primary target was also studied by employing multi-phase-centre correlation.
