description: We consider quasi-stationary scattering of interacting bosonic matter waves in one-dimensional waveguides, as they arise in guided atom lasers. We show how the truncated Wigner (tW) method, which corresponds to the semiclassical description of the bosonic many-body system on the level of the diagonal approximation, can be utilized in order to describe such many-body bosonic scattering processes. Special emphasis is put on the discretization of space at the exact quantum level, in order to properly implement the semiclassical approximation and the tW method, as well as on the discussion of the results to be obtained in the continuous limit.

Optimal Configuration of a Square Array Group Testing Algorithm
Creators: name: Hudgens, Michael G.
name: Kim, Hae-Young
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: We consider the optimal configuration of a square array group testing algorithm (denoted A2) to minimize the expected number of tests per specimen. For prevalence greater than 0.2498, individual testing is shown to be more efficient than A2. For prevalence less than 0.2498, closed form lower and upper bounds on the optimal group sizes for A2 are given. Arrays of dimension 2 × 2, 3 × 3, and 4 × 4 are shown to never be optimal. The results are illustrated by considering the design of a specimen pooling algorithm for detection of recent HIV infections in Malawi.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The review presents data on the epidemiology, etiology, features of the clinical course and diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs in women, and analyzes risk factors for inflammatory diseases in women. Modern aspects of tactics for inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs are considered. The role of consciously lowering the diagnostic threshold for inflammatory diseases and the prescription of empirical, antimicrobial therapy aimed at the greatest coverage of possible microbial pathogens is emphasized. Conditions that make it difficult to choose optimal treatment with antimicrobial drugs are presented. Thus, inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs remain one of the pressing problems of modern gynecology, the solution of which should be aimed at prevention and increasing the reproductive potential of women who have previously suffered from this pathology.
Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process Model for Genetic Crossover Interference
Creators: name: Sen, Pranab K.
name: Leu, Szu-Yun
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The genetic crossover interference is usually modeled with a stationary renewal process to construct the genetic map. We propose two non-homogeneous, also dependent, Poisson process models applied to the known physical map. The crossover process is assumed to start from an origin and to occur sequentially along the chromosome. The increment rate depends on the position of the markers and the number of crossover events occurring between the origin and the markers. We show how to obtain parameter estimates for the process and use simulation studies and real Drosophila data to examine the performance of the proposed models.

A comparison of power approximations for satterthwaite's test

name: Muller, Keith E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: When testing equality of means from two independent normal populations, many statisticians prefer heterogeneity tolerant tests. Moser, Stevens, and Watts described the noncentral density and a numerical integration algorithm for computing power. We present simple and accurate approximations for the power of the Satterthwaite test statistic. Two advantages accrue. First, the approximations substantially reduce the computational burden for tasks such as plotting power curves. Second, the approximations substantially simplify the programming and thereby make power calculations more widely available. Four methods of power approximation are evaluated for test sizes of .001, .01, .05, and .10, sample sizes of 6 and 51, variance ratios of 1 and 10, and noncentrality parameters from 0 to 50 by 1. A method based on a ratio of expected values is recommended due to its accuracy and simplicity.
Guaranteed Matrix Completion via Non-convex Factorization

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Matrix factorization is a popular approach for large-scale matrix completion. The optimization formulation based on matrix factorization can be solved very efficiently by standard algorithms in practice. However, due to the non-convexity caused by the factorization model, there is a limited theoretical understanding of this formulation. In this paper, we establish a theoretical guarantee for the factorization formulation to correctly recover the underlying low-rank matrix. In particular, we show that under similar conditions to those in previous works, many standard optimization algorithms converge to the global optima of a factorization formulation, and recover the true low-rank matrix. We study the local geometry of a properly regularized factorization formulation and prove that any stationary point in a certain local region is globally optimal. A major difference of our work from the existing results is that we do not need resampling in either the algorithm or its analysis. Compared to other works on nonconvex optimization, one extra difficulty lies in analyzing nonconvex constrained optimization when the constraint (or the corresponding regularizer) is not "consistent" with the gradient direction. One technical contribution is the perturbation analysis for non-symmetric matrix factorization.

APPROXIMATING POWER OF THE UNCONDITIONAL TEST FOR CORRELATED BINARY PAIRS
Creators: name: Muller, Keith E.
name: Selicato, Grace R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: We provide a simple and good approximation of power of the unconditional test for two correlated binary variables. Suissa and Shuster (1991) described the exact unconditional test. The most commonly used statistical test in this setting, McNemar’s test, is exact conditional on the sum of the discordant pairs. Although asymptotically the conditional and unconditional versions coincide, a long-standing debate surrounds the choice between them. Several power approximations have been studied for both methods (Miettinen, 1968; Bennett and Underwood, 1970; Connett, Smith, and McHugh, 1987; Connor, 1987; Suissa and Shuster, 1991; Lachenbruch, 1992; Lachin, 1992). For the unconditional approach most existing power approximations use the Gaussian distribution, while the accurate (“exact”) method is computationally burdensome.

description: We construct the relative log de Rham-Witt complex. This is a generalization of the relative de Rham-Witt complex of Langer-Zink to log schemes. We prove the comparison theorem between the hypercohomology of the log de Rham-Witt complex and the relative log crystalline cohomology in certain cases. We construct the $p$-adic weight spectral sequence for relative proper strict semistable log schemes. When the base log scheme is a log point, We show it degenerates at $E_2$ after tensoring with the fraction field of the Witt ring. We also extend the definition of the overconvergent de Rham-Witt complex of Davis-Langer-Zink to log schemes $(X,D)$ associated with smooth schemes with simple normal crossing divisor over a perfect field. Finally, we compare its hypercohomology with the rigid cohomology of $X \setminus D$.

Towards a proposal for assessment of blinding success in clinical trials: up-to-date review
Creators: name: Kolahi, Jafar

name: Bang, Heejung
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The CONSORT statement recommended that investigators should clearly report which key trial persons were blinded to treatment allocation and test for the success of blinding. Clinical researchers, however, more often than not overlook the assessment of the success of blinding. The severe under-reporting on the success of blinding may improve with awareness of existing quantitative methods. The two statistical methods, James' blinding index (BI) and Bang's BI, are currently available. Subjects could be asked to guess their treatment assignment, possibly with an option to express the degree of certainty. Assessments of blinding at various points may serve different purposes, i.e. to evaluate comparability between experimental versus control treatments before the trial by the third party; to examine further comparability and credibility of the control treatment and patients' expectation about treatment received in early stage of the trial, and to summarize the overall maintenance of the blinding success at the end of the trial. In this article, we review BIs and how to use these methods along with discussion of other issues in blinding assessment and reporting. We contend the two BIs that were independently developed but carry complementary properties would characterize blinding behaviours in clinical trials qualitatively as well as quantitatively, and may also shed some lights on the interpretation of the study findings. Finally we urge the Item 11b of the CONSORT statement to be revised to require the assessment/reporting of blinding success for all trials that adopt blinding schemes.

description: This work proposes a revision of the 30 item Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Dentistry (REALD-30), into a more efficient and easier-to-use two-stage scale. Using a sample of 1,405 individuals (primarily women) enrolled in a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), the present work utilizes principles of item response theory and multi-stage testing to revise the REALD-30 into a two-stage test of oral health literacy, named Two-Stage REALD or TS-REALD, which maximizes score precision at various levels of participant ability. Based on the participant’s score on the 5-item first-stage (i.e., routing test), one of three potential stage-two tests is administered: a 4-item Low Literacy test, a 6-item Average Literacy test, or a 3-item High Literacy test. The reliability of scores for the TS-REALD is greater than .85 for a wide range of ability. The TS-REALD was found to be predictive of perceived impact of oral conditions on well-being, after controlling for educational level, overall health, dental health, and a general health literacy measure. While containing approximately one-third of the items on the original scale, the TS-REALD was found to maintain similar psychometric qualities.

description: ObjectivesWe tested a dental health program in remote Aboriginal communities of Australia's Northern Territory, hypothesizing that it would reduce dental caries in preschool children.MethodsIn this 2-year, prospective, cluster-randomized, concurrent controlled, open trial of the dental health program compared to no such program, 30 communities were allocated at random to intervention and control groups. All residents aged 18–47 months were invited to participate. Twice per year for 2 years in the 15 intervention communities, fluoride varnish was applied to children's teeth, water consumption and daily tooth cleaning with toothpaste were advocated, dental health was promoted in community settings, and primary health care workers were trained in preventive dental care. Data from dental examinations at baseline and after 2 years were used to compute net dental caries increment per child (d3mfs). A multi-level statistical model compared d3mfs between intervention and control groups with adjustment for the clustered randomization design; four other models used additional variables for adjustment.ResultsAt baseline, 666 children were examined; 543 of them (82%) were re-examined 2 years later. The adjusted d3mfs increment was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group by an average of 3.0 surfaces per child (95% CI = 1.2, 4.9), a prevented fraction of 31%. Adjustment for additional variables yielded caries reductions ranging from 2.3 to 3.5 surfaces per child and prevented fractions of 24–36%.ConclusionsThese results corroborate findings from other studies where fluoride varnish was efficacious in preventing dental caries in young children.

description: We present a model of soft active particles that leads to a rich array of collective behavior found also in dense biological swarms of bacteria and other unicellular organisms. Our model uses only local interactions, such as Vicsek-type nearest neighbor alignment, short-range repulsion, and a local boundary term. Changing the relative strength of these interactions leads to migrating swarms, rotating swarms and jammed swarms, as well as swarms that exhibit run-and-tumble motion, alternating between migration and either rotating or jammed states. Interestingly, although a migrating swarm moves slower than an individual particle, the diffusion constant can be up to three orders of magnitude larger, suggesting that collective motion can be highly advantageous, for example, when searching for food.

title: Kalksteinmehl als Betonzusatzstoff für umweltfreundliche Betone
Creators: name: Herget, Christian
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: Aus Zement, Wasser und Gesteinskörnung hergestellter Beton ist nach Wasser der derzeit mengenmäßig am häufigsten verwendete Stoff auf unserer Erde. Dabei ist die Herstellung von Zement mit etwa 8 % der anthropogenen Treibhausgasemissionen verbunden. Durch Kalksteinmehl, das als inerter Betonzusatzstoff im Betonwerk dem Beton zugegeben werden kann, lässt sich der Zementgehalt im Beton deutlich reduzieren. Jedoch sind hierfür Entwurfs- und Anwendungsregeln zu erarbeiten, die die Herstellung eines ausreichend leistungsfähigen und dauerhaften Betons ermöglichen. Hierfür eignen sich Anrechenbarkeitsfaktoren (k-Wert) auf den technisch bzw. normativ notwendigen w/z-Wert sowie den Mindestzementgehalt. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde zunächst mithilfe eines umfassenden Versuchsprogramms gezeigt, dass Kalksteinmehl während der Erhärtung des Betons die Reaktionskinetik des Zements nicht signifikant beeinflusst. Hauptsächlich durch physikalische Effekte wird jedoch eine merkliche Mitwirkung zur Betonleistungsfähigkeit erzielt. Durch eine Anpassung des absoluten Wassergehalts kann eine vergleichbare Mikrostruktur und Leistungsfähigkeit von Betonen mit und ohne Kalksteinmehl erreicht werden. Als Ergebnis einer umfassenden Literaturstudie über die Leistungsfähigkeit von Betonen mit Kalksteinmehl kann festgehalten werden, dass bei einer vergleichbaren Druckfestigkeit des Betons auch eine gleichwertige, teilweise sogar bessere Dauerhaftigkeit erreicht wird. Um die spätere Druckfestigkeit bereits vor der Herstellung des Betons vorhersagen zu können, sollte das Kalksteinmehl bei der Bestimmung des notwendigen Wasser-Zement-Werts (w/z-Wert) als Zementäquivalent mithilfe eines Anrechenbarkeitsfaktors berücksichtigt werden. Hierfür wurde ein genaues Verfahren vorgestellt, das die Anrechenbarkeit des Kalksteinmehls in Abhängigkeit vom Kalksteinmehlgehalt im Bindemittel und von den spezifischen Oberflächen des Kalksteinmehls und des verwendeten Portlandzements bestimmt. Für den praxisgerechten Mischungsentwurf unter Einhaltung der deskriptiven Vorgaben zum Mischungsentwurf nach DIN 1045-2 konnte eine Vereinfachung vorgenommen werden, wobei ein Anrechenbarkeitsfaktor von kKSM = 0,15 für Kalksteinmehlgehalte von bis zu 50 M.-% im Bindemittel vorgeschlagen wird. Zudem kann das Kalksteinmehl zu 100 % auf den Zementgehalt angerechnet werden, um den Mindestzementgehalt nach DIN 1045-2 einzuhalten, was bei konsequenter Umsetzung zu einer deutlichen Reduktion der zementinduzierten Treibhausgasemissionen führt.

description: A lot of works have shown that frobenius-norm based representation (FNR) is competitive to sparse representation and nuclear-norm based representation (NNR) in numerous tasks such as subspace clustering. Despite the success of FNR in experimental studies, less theoretical analysis is provided to understand its working mechanism. In this paper, we fill this gap by building the theoretical connections between FNR and NNR. More specially, we prove that: 1) when the dictionary can provide enough representative capacity, FNR is exactly NNR even though the data set contains the Gaussian noise, Laplacian noise, or sample-specified corruption, 2) otherwise, FNR and NNR are two solutions on the column space of the dictionary.

description: The Graduated Recovery Intervention Program (GRIP) is a novel cognitive-behavioral therapy program designed to facilitate functional recovery in people who have experienced an initial episode of psychosis. In this paper, the treatment development process of GRIP is described and data from an open feasibility trial are presented. Findings suggest clinical and psychosocial benefits associated with GRIP, and the treatment was well-received by clients and therapists. The retention rate of 67%, however, suggests the need for protocol modifications to improve engagement. Initial data on the efficacy of GRIP are encouraging, although the study design precludes more robust conclusions at this time.
Originalité et limites de l'écologie profonde (Deep Ecology): Faut-il instaurer un Nouvel Ordre écologique?

description: Notre réflexion porte sur le radicalisme de certains écologistes qui, sous prétexte d’œuvrer pour la cause environnementale, poussent leurs ambitions et prétentions à l’extrême, en accordant des droits aux êtres non humains, précisément les animaux. Il fallait donc comprendre le sens de cette écologie profonde (deep ecology) articulée autour du principe d’égalitarisme biosphérique. Il nous fallait surtout comprendre la signification des critiques adressées aux mouvements affiliés à la Deep Ecology. Considérant que ces deep ecologists, extrémistes et fondamentalistes étaient simplement porteurs de projets subversifs, voire d’introduire dans l’ordre démocratique un «désordre» écologique, Luc Ferry contre-attaque. Selon lui, il ne faut pas donner droit de cité à ce «nouvel intégrisme» qui menace notre civilisation actuelle héritée de l’humanisme des Lumières. Les dangers qu’il dénonce dans le Nouvel Ordre écologique sont entres autres, le rapprochement entre l’écologie profonde et l’écologie nazie, les tendances révolutionnaires et même totalitaires de la deep ecology, etc. Toutefois, au regard de l’influence grandissante de ces mouvements écologistes radicaux, Luc Ferry a-t-il vraiment une chance d’instaurer dans les pays industrialisés un Nouvel Ordre écologique et démocratique?

description: Amaurobius lesbius sp. nov. (Figs. 6-10) Type material: Holotype male, 1 paratype male two paratype females from Greece, Lesbos, Nomos Kalloni, Skalochori (N 39°15’59” E26° 05’ 30”), 300 m, litter in Querem forest, 2.X.2007, R. Bosmans & J. Van Keer leg. Deposited in KBIN. Etymology: The species is named after the island of Lesbos. Diagnosis: Amaurobius lesbius n. sp. is closely related to the larger A erberi (Keyserling), also occurring on Lesbos. Males differ by the reduction of an intermediate apophysis in the palpal tibia, and the presence of a strongly protruding, rectangular tegular process. Females differ by the closely set spermathecae, separated by less than 1/4 their diameter in the new species and by their diameter in A. erberi. . Description Colour: Prosoma yellowish brown, sometimes with greyish striae, thoracic part paler; chelicerae dark orange brown. Legs yellowish brown. Abdomen in males darkgreyto black with anteromedian pale stripe and some subterminal, pale grey chevrons, venter pale to dark grey, in females dorsally pale grey with dark grey pattern. Measurements (males: n=6; females: n= 8): Male: Total length 3.6-4.6; prosoma 1.81-2.24 long, 1.21- 1.56 wide. Female: Total length 4.8-6.8; prosoma 1.99-2.26 long, 1.18-1.54 wide. Leg measurements as in Table 3, leg spination as in Table 4. Male palp (Figs. 6-8):Tibiawith small, curved dorsal and larger blunt retrolateral apophyses, the former with a tooth at its base, intermediate apophysis reduced to a short crest.Tegular process strongly protruding, nearly rectangular. Tegular apophysis elongated, terminally hooked and embolus short and bent. Epigyne and vulva (Figs. 9-10): With reversed trapezoid plate. Spermathecae closely set, separated by less than V a their diameter, basal part covered by epigynal plate. Further material examined Agiasos: Agiasos S. (N 39°05’53” E 26°21’57”), 550 m, 5 males, pitfalls in Castanea forest, X.2007 - IV.2008 (CJVK); - Mandamados: road Klio-Sykaminia (N 39°22’33” E 26°10’59”), 350 m, stones in small Pinus forest, 1 subadult male 1 female, 6.X.2007, 6 females, 27.III.2008 (CHDK, CJVK, CRB). Ecology: All specimens were captured in Castanea, Pinus and Quereus forests. Males were only collected in winter, females in winter and spring. Distribution: At the moment, the species is only known from Lesbos, but as Amaurobius species generally have large distribution areas, it may occur on other East Aegean Islands as well.

description: The experience of trauma is highly prevalent in the lives of women with mental health and substance abuse problems. We examined how an intervention targeted to provide trauma-informed integrated services in the treatment of co-occurring disorders has changed the content of services reported by clients. We found that the intervention led to an increased provision of integrated services as well as services addressing each content area: trauma, mental health and substance abuse. There was no increase in service quantity from the intervention. Incorporation of trauma-specific element in the treatment of mental health and substance abuse may have been successfully implemented at the service level thereby better serve women with complex behavioral health histories.

description: Let $R$ be a strictly local ring complete for a discrete valuation, with fraction field $K$ and residue field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $X$ be a smooth, proper variety over $K$. Nicaise conjectured that the rational volume of $X$ is equal to the trace of the tame monodromy operator on $\ell$-adic cohomology if $X$ is cohomologically tame. He proved this equality if $X$ is a curve. We study his conjecture from the point of view of logarithmic geometry, and prove it for a class of varieties in any dimension: those having logarithmic good reduction.

Remark The female of this species was recently described by BOSSELAERS (2009), based on material from Rhodes and Lesbos. Later, the corresponding male appeared to be present in the material from Lesbos as well and it is described here for the first time. Somatic morphology is the same as in the female, except as indicated below. Diagnosis The male of this species is recognised by the short, pointed tibial apophysis and the small sperm duct tooth. For a description of the female, see BOSSELAERS (2009). Description of the unknown male Colour: As in female, but femora and patella of legs I -II somewhat infuscate, contrasting with paler remaining segments. Measurements ( 1 male): Total length 3.5; prosoma 1.36 long, 1.21 wide. Leg measurements as inTable 7, leg spination as in Tab. 8. Malepalp (Figs. 15-16):Tibia with small, pointed retrolateral apophysis. Bulbus ovoid, without apophyses, only with small, anterolateral sperm duct tooth.

Europe's Diesel Detour: Corporate Influence, EU Policy and Responses to the 'Dieselgate' Emissions Scandal
Creators: name: Petty, Clayton Isaac
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines how corporate interests have influenced policy in the European Union (EU). Utilizing the Volkswagen ‘Dieselgate’ Emissions Scandal as a case study, I analyze the underlying political and economic conditions which allowed automakers to manipulate standard cycle emissions tests and pursue various legal loopholes in installing ‘defeat devices’ on diesel vehicles sold in Europe and the United States. I investigate why the scandal was not initially uncovered in Europe and address the grounds for why EU regulators were less unified in rectifying the misconduct. I argue that the existence of a highly influential network of automotive and oil advocacy coalitions in both Berlin and Brussels, paired with the economic significance of automobile manufacturing to the success of the EU Common Market, explain the EU’s hesitancy to abandon ‘clean diesel’ and move forward with hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) technologies.

description: Jail diversion and forensic community treatment programs have proliferated over the past decade, far outpacing evidence regarding their efficacy. The current study reports findings from a randomized clinical trial conducted in California for frequent jail users with serious mental illness that compares a forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) intervention with treatment as usual (TAU). Outcomes are reported at 12 and 24 months post-randomization for criminal justice outcomes, behavioral health services and costs. At 12 months, FACT vs. TAU participants had fewer jail bookings, greater outpatient contacts, and fewer hospital days than did TAU participants. Results of zero-inflated negative binomial regression found that FACT participants had a higher probability of avoiding jail, although once jailed, the number of jail days did not differ between groups. Increased outpatient costs resulting from FACT outpatient services were partially offset by decreased inpatient and jail costs. The findings for the 24 month period followed the same pattern. These findings provide additional support for the idea that providing appropriate behavioral health services can reduce criminal justice involvement.
Automatic Subspace Learning via Principal Coefficients Embedding

description: In this paper, we address two challenging problems in unsupervised subspace learning: 1) how to automatically identify the feature dimension of the learned subspace (i.e., automatic subspace learning), and 2) how to learn the underlying subspace in the presence of Gaussian noise (i.e., robust subspace learning). We show that these two problems can be simultaneously solved by proposing a new method (called principal coefficients embedding, PCE). For a given data set $\mathbf{D}\in \mathds{R}^{m\times n}$, PCE recovers a clean data set $\mathbf{D}_{0}\in \mathds{R}^{m\times n}$ from $\mathbf{D}$ and simultaneously learns a global reconstruction relation $\mathbf{C}\in \mathbf{R}^{n\times n}$ of $\mathbf{D}_{0}$. By preserving $\mathbf{C}$ into an $m^{\prime}$-dimensional space, the proposed method obtains a projection matrix that can capture the latent manifold structure of $\mathbf{D}_{0}$, where $m^{\prime}\ll m$ is automatically determined by the rank of $\mathbf{C}$ with theoretical guarantees. PCE has three advantages: 1) it can automatically determine the feature dimension even though data are sampled from a union of multiple linear subspaces in presence of the Gaussian noise, 2) Although the objective function of PCE only considers the Gaussian noise, experimental results show that it is robust to the non-Gaussian noise (\textit{e.g.}, random pixel corruption) and real disguises, 3) Our method has a closed-form solution and can be calculated very fast. Extensive experimental results show the superiority of PCE on a range of databases with respect to the classification accuracy, robustness and efficiency.

Examination of sex differences in oscillatory signaling dynamics in the prelimbic cortex and the nucleus accumbens core during innate versus learned negative affect

description: Affective state is integral for appropriate behavior and becomes dysfunctional in several psychiatric illnesses, including depression and substance use disorders. Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is used to study shifts in hedonic processing, and taste reactivity (TR) can track the affective properties of appetitive and aversive tastants before and after CTA. The infralimbic cortex (IL) and its projections to the nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell play a key role in learned negative affect, specifically in males. Here, we sought to determine if the prelimbic cortex (PrL) to nucleus accumbens (NAc) core circuit tracks innate versus learned negative affect using electrophysiological (local field potential, LFP) methods. CTA elicited a hedonic shift from an appetitive to an aversive profile, regardless of sex. LFP coherence revealed that the PrL-NAc core circuit does not track any aspect of learned negative affect in either sex; but may be involved in innate aversion in males only. Time-frequency analyses revealed differential activity in the PrL and NAc core across sex at specific frequency bands. Collectively, these data provide a sex-specific understanding of real-time oscillatory signaling dynamics in the PrL and NAc core during innate versus learned negative affect.
