The role of local media in peacebuilding in Nepal
Creators: name: Ryan, Luisa Caitlin Phillips
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Journalists are often severely impacted by armed conflict: they may be the victims of targeted violence or co-opted by one side or another to spread partisan propaganda. In protracted conflicts, journalism training, financing and infrastructure may dry up completely, impacting the ability of community members to access information. Media development in post-conflict settings has become a priority of funding bodies, as an independent fourth estate is believed to strengthen democratic mechanisms, and guard against a return to violence. The Nepal case study serves to explore how local media may interact with an evolving peace process, and what support the international community may be able to offer. Drawing upon grounded theory, this thesis presents the findings of fieldwork conducted in Nepal from December 2010 to January 2011. Thirty-three in-depth interviews were conducted in three key geo-political locations. Core findings of this research reveal that the Nepalese media sector needs continuing support.
Classification and Description of Alluvial Plant Communities of the North Carolina Coastal Plain
Creators: name: Faestel, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The ecological significance of floodplain forests is well documented. These forests are threatened by hydrologic alteration, fragmentation, and invasive species spread. Quantitative data that represent and summarize the compositional variation in alluvial vegetation are necessary to best protect and manage these forests. In this study, we describe brown-water alluvial plant communities in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina, and determine key environmental drivers of vegetation composition. Analyses suggest the recognition of 11 community types nested within 6 broad-scale vegetation types. Broad-scale vegetation types reflect landform and canopy floristics whereas community types are more narrowly defined by floristic variation and subtle environmental differences. For each broad-scale vegetation type and nested community type, we characterize and describe vegetation composition and discuss environmental characteristics. Vegetation patterns on the floodplains of the Coastal Plain of North Carolina are correlated with hydroperiod, soil texture, and soil chemistry.

description: We study actions of Möbius group on two sub-populations in the solvable chimera model proposed by Abrams et al. Dynamics of global variables are given by two coupled Watanabe-Strogatz systems, one for each sub-population.
 At the first glance, asymptotic dynamics in the model seem to be very simple. For instance, in the stable chimera state distributions of oscillators perform a simple rotations after a certain (sufficiently large) moment. However, a closer look unveils that dynamics are subtler that what can be observed from evolution of densities of oscillators' phases. In order to gain the full picture, one needs to investigate dynamics on the transformation group that acts on these densities. Such an approach emphasizes impact of the "hidden" variable that is not visible on macroscopic level.

Evaluation of the diagenetic role of iron as a sulfide buffer at Cape Lookout Bight, North Carolina (USA)
Creators: name: He, Bo
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Organic matter accumulation in marine environments is influenced by a range of factors, including primary production and the degree of subsequent biochemical degradation. Iron availability has important impacts on primary production rate and thus it has been argued that an increase in iron supply to the oceans could result in enhanced primary production and organic matter burial. This study investigates an alternative hypothesis, designated the Sulfide Buffer/Phosphorous Trap Hypothesis, through a series of iron addition macrocosm experiments with modern sediments collected from Cape Lookout Bight (North Carolina). Results of the incubation experiments are used to evaluate the hypothesis that an increase in iron delivery to the sediments can buffer the accumulation of hydrogen sulfide within pore water, enhance the oxygen penetration depth and degree of bioturbation/bioirrigation, and increase the remineralization of organic matter. This biogeochemical hypothesis provides a mechanism that could link iron concentration and organic matter burial in ancient marine environments.
Rapid temperature changes and the early activity on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

description: The so-called "early activity" of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has been observed to originate mostly in parts of the concave region or "neck" between its two lobes. Since activity is driven by the sublimation of volatiles, this is a puzzling result because this area is less exposed to the Sun and is therefore expected to be cooler on average (Sierks et al. 2015). We used a thermophysical model that takes into account thermal inertia, global self-heating, and shadowing, to compute surface temperatures of the comet. We found that, for every rotation in the August--December 2014 period, some parts of the neck region undergo the fastest temperature variations of the comet's surface precisely because they are shadowed by their surrounding terrains. Our work suggests that these fast temperature changes are correlated to the early activity of the comet, and we put forward the hypothesis that erosion related to thermal cracking is operating at a high rate on the neck region due to these rapid temperature variations. This may explain why the neck contains some ice --as opposed to most other parts of the surface (Capaccioni et al. 2015)-- and why it is the main source of the comet's early activity (Sierks et al. 2015). In a broader context, these results indicate that thermal cracking can operate faster on atmosphereless bodies with significant concavities than implied by currently available estimates (Delbo' et al. 2014).

description: We give a quantitative refinement of the invariance of the Legendrian contact homology algebra in general contact manifolds. We show that in this general case, the Lagrangian cobordism trace of a Legendrian isotopy defines a DGA stable tame isomorphism which is similar to a bifurcation invariance-proof for a contactization contact manifold. We use this result to construct a relative version of the Rabinowitz-Floer complex defined for Legendrians that also satisfies a quantitative invariance, and study its persistent homology barcodes. We apply these barcodes to prove several results, including: displacement energy bounds for Legendrian submanifolds in terms of the oscillatory norms of the contact Hamiltonians; a proof of Rosen and Zhang's non-degeneracy conjecture for the Shelukhin--Chekanov--Hofer metric on Legendrian submanifolds; and, the non-displaceability of the standard Legendrian real-projective space inside the contact real-projective space.

Revisiting the classics: Is [Mg/Fe] a good proxy for galaxy formation time-scales?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the local Universe, massive early-type galaxies exhibit enhanced [Mg/Fe] ratios, which has been traditionally interpreted as the result of a rapid ($τ\lesssim 1$ Gyr) collapse. However, recent claims of a non-universal, steep initial mass function call for a revision of this standard interpretation. In the present work we show how the simultaneous consideration of a high [Mg/Fe] and a steep IMF slope would imply unreasonably short ($τ\sim 7$ Myr) and intense (SFR $\sim 10^{5}$ Msun yr$^{-1}$) formation events for massive early-type galaxies. We discuss possible caveats and explanations to this apparent inconsistency, and we suggest that further IMF determinations, both in the local Universe and at high redshift, are necessary to better understand the problem.

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

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether dental hygienists in North Carolina are confident to counsel patients who are obese or at-risk for obesity. A questionnaire was used to survey 246 dental hygienists attending a continuing education course. It investigated self-reported confidence in providing obesity counseling, educational preparation, outcome expectations, and self-efficacy. The primary outcome was confidence in providing weight loss counseling. Mantel Haensel statistics were used to compare group of interest. Of the dental hygienists surveyed, 95% felt that they have a role in helping patients improve nutrition. Over half (65%) expressed confidence in discussing obesity-related health risks. On average, the confidence in getting patients to follow weight loss advice was significantly different (p=.02) for those with a 2 year and those with a 4+ year degree. The findings indicate that many North Carolina dental hygienists are willing to discuss obesity with patients.
An Application of the Stereoscopic Self-Similar-Expansion Model to the Determination of CME-Driven Shock Parameters

description: We present an application of the stereoscopic self-similar-expansion model (SSSEM) to Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO)/Sun-Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) observations of the 03 April 2010 CME and its associated shock. The aim is to verify whether CME-driven shock parameters can be inferred from the analysis of j-maps. For this purpose we use the SSSEM to derive the CME and the shock kinematics. Arrival times and speeds, inferred assuming either propagation at constant speed or with uniform deceleration, show good agreement with Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) measurements. The shock standoff distance $[Δ]$, the density compression $[\frac{ρ_d}{ρ_u}]$ and the Mach number $[M]$ are calculated combining the results obtained for the CME and shock kinematics with models for the shock location. Their values are extrapolated to $\textrm{L}_1$ and compared to in-situ data. The in-situ standoff distance is obtained from ACE solar-wind measurements, and the Mach number and compression ratio are provided by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics interplanetary shock database. They are $\frac{ρ_d}{ρ_u} =2.84$ and $M = 2.2$. The best fit to observations is obtained when the SSSEM half width $λ= 40 °$ and the CME and shock propagate with uniform deceleration. In this case we find $Δ= 23 \textrm{R}_{\odot}$, $\frac{ρ_d}{ρ_u} =2.61$, and $M = 2.93$. The study shows that CME-driven shock parameters can be estimated from the analysis of time-elongation plots and can be used to predict their in-situ values.

description: Das Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrages ist es, eine für den Kampfsport unter Wettkampfbedingungen durchgeführte Leistungsdiagnostik vorzustellen. Am Beispiel des Karate-Kumite wurde der Einsatz einer transportablen Spirometrie zusammen mit einem videogestützten Kampfanalysesystem (K-WETT-A) erfolgreich angewendet. An der Untersuchung nahmen 7 Kaderathleten des Landes Sachsen-Anhalt teil. Es konnte festgestellt werden, dass der für die Spirometriemessungen simulierte Wettkampf die Beanspruchung des Athleten unter realen Wettkampfbedingungen widerspiegelt. Die Energiebereitstellungsprozesse liegen im hohen Prozentsatz im aeroben Bereich. Für die Trainingspraxis ist es weiterhin sinnvoll, die Angriffsaktivität synchron zu den physiologischen Daten zu erfassen und diese für eine abschließende Auswertung mit einzubeziehen.

We show that twice the knot signature and the natural slope differ by at most a constant times the hyperbolic volume divided by the cube of the injectivity radius. This inequality was discovered using machine learning to detect relationships between various knot invariants. It has applications to Dehn surgery and to 4-ball genus. We also show a refined version of the inequality where the upper bound is a linear function of the volume, and the slope is corrected by terms corresponding to short geodesics that link the knot an odd number of times.

Economic Turmoil and Craniofacial Care: The Impact of a National Recession on Children with Cleft Lip/Palate
Creators: name: Eggleston, Allison Cavenaugh
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: This study describes the impact of the recent economic recession on family financial security and health care access, with respect to multidisciplinary craniofacial treatment. Recruitment via a cleft/craniofacial parent website/email included English literate U.S. respondents with internet access, who were parents/legal guardians of a child (<18y.o.) with cleft lip and/or palate. A survey linked to the AmeriFace® website (October 2010-January 2011) collected 207 eligible responses; economic effects and perceived barriers to care were queried. Reduced income (48%), transportation costs (52%), and decreased work flexibility (35%) directly affected access to craniofacial care. Insurance premiums and co-pays/deductibles were perceived barriers independent of the economy (45% and 53%, respectively); however, the recession was seen to increase their impact (57% and 61%, respectively) and 12% lost insurance benefits entirely. Despite most participants being affluent, well-educated, and White, significant barriers to obtaining craniofacial care not only exist but have increased due to the recent economic recession.

description: New deep optical and near-infrared imaging is combined with archival ultraviolet and infrared data for fifteen nearby galaxies mapped in the Spitzer Extended Disk Galaxy Exploration Science survey. These images are particularly deep and thus excellent for studying the low surface brightness outskirts of these disk-dominated galaxies with stellar masses ranging between 10^8 and 10^11 Msun. The spectral energy distributions derived from this dataset are modeled to investigate the radial variations in the galaxy colors and star formation histories. Taken as a whole, the sample shows bluer and younger stars for larger radii until reversing near the optical radius, whereafter the trend is for redder and older stars for larger galacto-centric distances. These results are consistent with an inside-out disk formation scenario coupled with an old stellar outer disk population formed through radial migration and/or the cumulative history of minor mergers and accretions of satellite dwarf galaxies. However, these trends are quite modest and the variation from galaxy to galaxy is substantial. Additional data for a larger sample of galaxies are needed to confirm or dismiss these modest sample-wide trends.

Political Party Networks and Human Development in Young Democracies: Evidence from Bosnia and Herzegovina
Creators: name: Auerbach, Kiran
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: According to mainstream theories, democracy improves human development because electoral competition strengthens accountability of politicians to citizens: If politicians do not improve citizen welfare, they risk losing power. These approaches, however, neglect pathologies of political competition in many young democracies where citizen participation is low and corruption of parties high, thus reducing political responsiveness to broad societal interests. I argue that in such environments, development is driven by partisan accountability whereby politicians remain loyal to party leaders since they control candidate lists and funnel resources to lower level politicians. Pro-development practices are adopted only to the extent that they improve a party's re-election chances and maximize its expropriation of budgetary resources. I provide preliminary evidence from the local level in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which suggests that vertical, intra-party relations between mayors and regional governments improve local business environments, while inter-party diversity in decision-making bodies increases political fragmentation and unemployment.

description: We demonstrate that ultrafast carrier excitation can drastically affect electronic structures and induce brief surface plasmonic response in non-plasmonic metals, potentially creating a plasmonic switch. Using first-principles molecular dynamics and Kubo-Greenwood formalism for laser-excited tungsten we show that carrier heating mobilizes d electrons into collective inter and intraband transitions leading to a sign flip in the imaginary optical conductivity, activating plasmonic properties for the initial non-plasmonic phase. The drive for the optical evolution can be visualized as an increasingly damped quasi-resonance at visible frequencies for pumping carriers across a chemical potential located in a d-band pseudo-gap with energy-dependent degree of occupation. The subsequent evolution of optical indices for the excited material is confirmed by time-resolved ultrafast ellipsometry. The large optical tunability extends the existence spectral domain of surface plasmons in ranges typically claimed in laser self-organized nanostructuring. Non-equilibrium heating is thus a strong factor for engineering optical control of evanescent excitation waves, particularly important in laser nanostructuring strategies.

Pitfalls when observationally characterizing the relative formation rates of stars and stellar clusters in galaxies

description: Stars generally form in aggregates, some of which are bound ('clusters') while others are unbound and disperse on short ($\sim10$ Myr) timescales ('associations'). The fraction of stars forming in bound clusters ($Γ$) is a fundamental outcome of the star formation process. Recent observational and theoretical work has suggested that $Γ$ increases with the gas surface density ($Σ$) or star formation rate (SFR) surface density ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$), both within galaxies and between different ones. However, a recent paper by Chandar et al. has challenged these results, showing that the $total$ number of stellar aggregates per unit SFR does not vary systematically with the host galaxy's absolute SFR. In this Letter, we show that no variations are expected when no distinction is made between bound and unbound aggregates, because the sum of these two fractions should be close to unity. We also demonstrate that any scaling of $Γ$ with the absolute SFR is much weaker than with $Σ_{\rm SFR}$, due to the mass-radius-SFR relation of star-forming 'main sequence' galaxies. The environmental variation of $Γ$ should therefore be probed as a function of area-normalised quantities, such as $Σ$ or $Σ_{\rm SFR}$. We present a set of guidelines for meaningful observational tests of cluster formation theories and show that these resolve the reported discrepancy.

Sleep medicine content in dental hygiene education
Creators: name: Minichbauer, Brittany
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: Purpose/Objectives: According to the National Sleep Foundation, 70 million Americans chronically suffer from approximately 60 medically recognized sleep disorders. Clinicians are unaware of these disorders and many individuals remain undiagnosed. The purpose of this study was to assess the amount of sleep medicine content in dental hygiene programs across the United States (US). Methods: A survey was emailed to all 334 accredited US dental hygiene programs. Follow-up emails and phone calls were made to non-responding programs. Results: Thirty-five percent of the programs responded. The mean number of hours devoted to sleep medicine was 1.55 hours (sd=1.37). Seventy four percent of the responding programs reported spending time on sleep bruxism (mean=1.38 hours, sd=0.85); however only 39% reported spending time on other topics such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (mean=1.39 hours, sd=0.72). Conclusion: Sleep medicine is included in the majority of US dental hygiene programs, however the content is limited and focused on sleep bruxism.

description: We show that Thurston's earthquake flow is strongly asymmetric in the sense that its normalizer is as small as possible inside the group of orbifold automorphisms of the bundle of measured geodesic laminations over moduli space. (At the level of Teichmüller space, such automorphisms correspond to homeomorphisms that are equivariant with respect to an automorphism of the mapping class group.) It follows that the earthquake flow does not extend to an $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbf{R})$-action of orbifold automorphisms and does not admit continuous renormalization self-symmetries. In particular, it is not conjugate to the Teichmüller horocycle flow via an orbifold map. This contrasts with a number of previous results, most notably Mirzakhani's theorem that the earthquake and Teichmüller horocycle flows are measurably conjugate.

description: A study of fusion-evaporation and (partly) fusion-fission channels for the $^{88}$Mo compound nucleus, produced at different excitation energies in the reaction $^{48}$Ti + $^{40}$Ca at 300, 450 and 600 MeV beam energies, is presented. Fusion-evaporation and fusion-fission cross sections have been extracted and compared with the existing systematics. Experimental data concerning light charged particles have been compared with the prediction of the statistical model in its implementation in the Gemini++ code, well suited even for high spin systems, in order to tune the main model parameters in a mass region not abundantly covered by exclusive experimental data. Multiplicities for light charged particles emitted in fusion evaporation events are also presented. Some discrepancies with respect to the prediction of the statistical model have been found for forward emitted $α$-particles; they may be due both to pre-equilibrium emission and to reaction channels (such as Deep Inelastic Collisions, QuasiFission/QuasiFusion) different from the compound nucleus formation.

METICOS Deliverable D3.7 Human rights impact assessment (final version)
Creators: name: Dumortier, Franck

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This document is Deliverable D3.7 “Human rights impact assessment (final version)” of the METICOS project.
 In the context of WP3, this Deliverable seeks to identify, evaluate and address the adverse effects on human rights emerging from the METICOS project, and in turn, prevent the METICOS components from breaching fundamental rights and/or negatively impacting socio-cultural factors.
 In order to achieve its aim, this Deliverable: identifies the scope of the Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA); identifies the impacted groups of persons and lists the possibly impacted human rights; evaluates the impacts of the METICOS platform on human rights; formulates mitigation measures; provides for an audit and review stage of the HRIA. The assessment process began at the inception of the project (M03) and will carry on throughout its lifetime (M36). During its process, it analyses all stages of the development process of METICOS to gain an understanding of how each component has approached human rights intersectionality from every aspect of its development.
 It is important to note that, in line with the DoA, this Deliverable (D3.7) consists into a “final version of the report on human rights impact assessment”. A first version of the Human rights impact assessment was submitted on M12. In comparison with the first version, this final version addresses issues related to identification and mitigation of biases. It also takes into account the outcomes of two workshops organized in February 2023: the first workshop involved stakeholders from the sector of law and AI to discuss the implications of Artificial Intelligence on fundamental rights; the second one involved stakeholders representing travellers’ categories in order to discuss issues of representativeness during the project’s data collections. Furthermore, it should be noted that this Deliverable was reviewed by the project’s Ethical Advisory Board before submission to the EC.
Automatic Test Pattern Generation for Robust Quantum Circuit Testing

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Quantum circuit testing is essential for detecting potential faults in realistic quantum devices, while the testing process itself also suffers from the inexactness and unreliability of quantum operations. This paper alleviates the issue by proposing a novel framework of automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) for robust testing of logical quantum circuits. We introduce the stabilizer projector decomposition (SPD) for representing the quantum test pattern, and construct the test application (i.e., state preparation and measurement) using Clifford-only circuits, which are rather robust and efficient as evidenced in the fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, it is generally hard to generate SPDs due to the exponentially growing number of the stabilizer projectors. To circumvent this difficulty, we develop an SPD generation algorithm, as well as several acceleration techniques which can exploit both locality and sparsity in generating SPDs. The effectiveness of our algorithms are validated by 1) theoretical guarantees under reasonable conditions, 2) experimental results on commonly used benchmark circuits, such as Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT), Quantum Volume (QV) and Bernstein-Vazirani (BV) in IBM Qiskit.

Assessing the Impact of the Urban Tree Canopy on Streamflow Response: An Extension of Physically Based Hydrologic Modeling to the Suburban Landscape
Creators: name: Mittman, Tamara Shira
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This work examines the impact of land cover composition and pattern on catchment hydrologic response in an ungauged suburban catchment in Baltimore, MD. Field data collected by the Baltimore Ecosystem Study (BES) are integrated with the Regional Hydro-Ecologic Simulation System (RHESSys) to develop models of the study catchment and a nearby reference catchment. A proxy-catchment calibration method is applied to calibrate model parameters, and the Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) method is applied to assess model uncertainty. To examine the impact of urban tree canopy on catchment hydrologic response, four vegetation management scenarios are simulated. Results suggest that parameter transfer from a forested reference catchment to an ungauged suburban catchment is viable for lightly urbanized catchments, and indicate that the extent of the urban tree canopy is a key determinant of streamflow response. Results also demonstrate the importance of preserving upland as well as riparian forest in maintaining ecosystem function.

Triplet FFLO Superconductivity in the doped Kitaev-Heisenberg Honeycomb Model

description: We provide analytical and numerical evidence of a spin-triplet FFLO superconductivity in the itinerant Kitaev-Heisenberg model (anti-ferromagnetic Kitaev coupling and ferromagnetic Heisenberg coupling) on the honeycomb lattice around quarter filling. The strong spin-orbit coupling in our model leads to the emergence of 6 inversion symmetry centers for the Fermi surface at non zero momenta in the first Brillouin zone. We show how the Cooper pairs condense into these non-trivial momenta, causing the spatial modulation of the superconducting order parameter. Applying a Ginzburg-Landau expansion analysis, we find that the superconductivity has three separated degenerate ground states with three different spin-triplet pairings. This picture is also supported by exact diagonalizations on finite clusters.
Provider Perceptions of Treatment Options for Immature Permanent Teeth

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study was to survey endodontists and pediatric dentists on the use of apexification and regenerative endodontics for the treatment of immature permanent teeth. We surveyed pediatric dentists (n=1941) and endodontists (n=1615) in four geographically and demographically diverse states- North Carolina, New York, Texas and California. The surveys were created using qualtrics and teleform and distributed using the Salant and Dillman method. Data was analyzed using chi square, linear and multinominal regression. 574 Endodontists (32.9% success rate) and 526 pediatric dentists (27.1% response rate) responded to the surveys. Both endodontists and pediatric dentists reported that they occasionally to rarely diagnose and treat patients with pulpal necrosis. Of the 43.3% of pediatric dentists who do not refer, 24% indicated that they perform only apexification. Predictability of outcome (p<.01), continued root development (p=0.01) and apical closure (p=0.01) significantly influence the decision to choose one treatment option for both specialties.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Posterior sampling for high-dimensional Bayesian inverse problems is a common challenge in real-world applications. Randomized Maximum Likelihood (RML) is an optimization based methodology that gives samples from an approximation to the posterior distribution. We develop a high-dimensional Bayesian Optimization (BO) approach based on Gaussian Process (GP) surrogate models to solve the RML problem. We demonstrate the benefits of our approach in comparison to alternative optimization methods on a variety of synthetic and real-world Bayesian inverse problems, including medical and magnetohydrodynamics applications.

Fisher information vs. signal-to-noise ratio for a split detector

description: We study the problem of estimating the magnitude of a Gaussian beam displacement using a two pixel or 'split' detector. We calculate the maximum likelihood estimator, and compute its asymptotic mean-squared-error via the Fisher information. Although the signal-to-noise ratio is known to be simply related to the Fisher information under idealised detection, we find the two measures of precision differ markedly for a split detector. We show that a greater signal-to-noise ratio 'before' the detector leads to a greater information penalty, unless adaptive realignment is used. We find that with an initially balanced split detector, tuning the normalised difference in counts to 0.884753... gives the highest posterior Fisher information, and that this provides an improvement by at least a factor of about 2.5 over operating in the usual linear regime. We discuss the implications for weak-value amplification, a popular probabilistic signal amplification technique.
