description: We investigate the superconducting states that arise as a consequence of mesoscopic confinement and a multi-component order parameter in the Ginzburg-Landau model for $p\,$-wave superconductivity. Conventional vortices, but also half-quantum vortices and skyrmions are found as the applied magnetic field and the anisotropy parameters of the Fermi surface are varied. The solutions are well differentiated by a topological charge that for skyrmions is given by the Hopf invariant and for vortices by the circulation of the superconducting velocity. We revealed several unique states combining vortices and skyrmions, their possible reconfiguration with varied magnetic field, as well as the novel temporal and field-induced transitions between vortical and skyrmionic states.

description: We investigate the critical behavior of pion superfluidity in the frame of functional renormalization group. By solving the flow equation in the SU(2) linear sigma model with pion superfluidity at finite temperature and isospin density, and making comparison with the fixed point analysis of the flow diagram in a general $O(N)$ model at zero temperature and density but with continuous dimension, the pion superfluidity is a second order phase transition subject to a $O(2)$ universality class with a dimension crossover from $d_{\text{eff}}=4$ to $d_{\text{eff}}=3$. The usually used large $N$ expansion gives a temperature independent critical exponent $β$ and agrees with the renormalization group only at zero temperature.

Evaluation of the National Environmental Education Foundation children's environmental health Faculty Champions train-the-trainer workshop
Creators: name: Slavin, Katie Elaine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This is an evaluation of an educational intervention project conducted by the National Environmental Educational Foundation (NEEF) designed to build health professional capacity to address children's environmental health (and general environmental health) issues. This was accomplished through the integration of identified pediatric/environmental health (P/EH) competencies via a network of children's environmental health Faculty Champions from medical and nursing schools throughout the country. Data were collected by NEEF using a pre-experimental mixed methods approach. Twenty-eight faculty members of schools of medicine and/or nursing at a university academic health centers participated in the Faculty Champion training project. The NEEF Faculty Champions train-the-trainer workshop was highly effective in incorporating P/EH information into the education and practice of medical and nursing professionals with a significant (p= < .0001) improvement in participants' knowledge of P/EH. In addition the Faculty Champions far exceeded the initial goal of training an additional 280 health professionals, reaching a total of 1,517 faculty, practitioners, residents, and nursing and medical students about P/EH topics. This program may serve as a model for integration of P/EH into medical and nursing school curricula.

description: Recent studies of the distribution and kinematics of the Milky Way and Andromeda satellite galaxy systems have confirmed the existence of coplanar, corotating structures of galaxies. In addition to the 'missing satellite problem', these structures pose a major challenge to the standard $Λ$CDM scenario of structure formation. We complement the efforts made by the dwarf galaxy community to extend these studies to other nearby galaxy groups by systematically searching for faint, unresolved dwarf members with a low surface brightness in the Southern Centaurus group of galaxies. The aim is to determine whether these coplanar, corotating structures are a universal phenomenon. We imaged an area of 60 square degrees (0.3 Mpc$^2$) around the M83 subgroup with the wide-field Dark Energy Camera (DECam) at the CTIO 4 m Blanco telescope in $g$ and $r$ down to a limiting surface brightness of $μ_r\approx 30$ mag arcsec$^{-2}$. Various image-filtering techniques were applied to the DECam data to enhance the visibility of extremely low-surface brightness objects. We report the discovery of 16 new dwarf galaxy candidates in the direction of the M83 subgroup, roughly doubling the number of known dwarfs in that region. The photometric properties of the candidates, when compared to those of the Local Group, suggest membership in the M83 subgroup. The faintest objects have a central star density of $\approx1.3 L_\odot$ pc$^{-2}$ and a total magnitude of $g = 20.25$, corresponding to $M_g = -9.55$ at the nominal distance of 4.9 Mpc. The sky distribution of the new objects is significantly prolonged toward Cen A, suggesting that many of them belong to the Cen A subgroup or a common halo. We also provide updated surface photometry for the brighter, known dwarf members in the surveyed area.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This study investigated the relationship between composite bat technology and 13 offensive statistics. In addition to bat technology it analyzed the relationship between ball Coefficient of Restitution and offensive statistics. The study included 28 NCAA Division I Louisville Slugger Sponsored programs from the 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 seasons. All teams were using the same Louisville Composite bat in the 2005 season; the 'Catalyst' and all had the same choices of Louisville bats to choose from in 2002, 2003, and 2004. The ball has been changed from a COR of .50 to a .47. The results indicated that there was no effect for the change in COR, but that there was an effect for change in bat technology. Of the seven statistical categories utilized in the one-way ANOVA, five of them returned a significant result and two did not. The results further indicated that the change in bat is significant in producing more home runs, higher slugging percentages, and better batting averages. The descriptive statistics indicated a dramatic increase in mean home runs and mean hits, with a 45% increase in mean homeruns in 2005.

description: We combine new Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data from Planck with Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) data to constrain the Brans-Dicke (BD) theory, in which the gravitational constant $G$ evolves with time. Observations of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) provide another important set of cosmological data, as they may be regarded as standard candles after some empirical corrections. However, in theories that include modified gravity like the BD theory, there is some risk and complication when using the SNIa data because their luminosity may depend on $G$. In this paper, we assume a power law relation between the SNIa luminosity and $G$, but treat the power index as a free parameter. We then test whether the difference in distances measured with SNIa data and BAO data can be reduced in such a model. We also constrain the BD theory and cosmological parameters by making a global fit with the CMB, BAO and SNIa data set. For the CMB+BAO+SNIa data set, we find $0.08\times10^{-2} < ζ<0.33\times10^{-2} $ at the 68\% confidence level (CL) and $-0.01\times10^{-2}

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Sound (cs.SD)

description: This paper presents a novel method for extracting acoustic features that characterise the background environment in audio recordings. These features are based on the output of an alignment that fits multiple parallel background--based Constrained Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression transformations asynchronously to the input audio signal. With this setup, the resulting features can track changes in the audio background like appearance and disappearance of music, applause or laughter, independently of the speakers in the foreground of the audio. The ability to provide this type of acoustic description in audiovisual data has many potential applications, including automatic classification of broadcast archives or improving automatic transcription and subtitling. In this paper, the performance of these features in a genre identification task in a set of 332 BBC shows is explored. The proposed background--tracking features outperform short--term Perceptual Linear Prediction features in this task using Gaussian Mixture Model classifiers (62% vs 72% accuracy). The use of more complex classifiers, Hidden Markov Models and Support Vector Machines, increases the performance of the system with the novel background--tracking features to 79% and 81% in accuracy respectively.

description: Dimensional effects in the critical properties of multilayer Heisenberg films have been numerically studied by Monte Carlo methods. The effect of anisotropy created by the crystal field of a substrate has been taken into account for films with various thicknesses. The calculated critical exponents demonstrate a dimensional transition from two-dimensional to three-dimensional properties of the films with an increase in the number of layers. A spin-orientation transition to a planar phase has been revealed in films with thicknesses corresponding to the crossover region.

description: We demonstrate by explicit calculations in 3+1 dimensional viscous relativistic fluid dynamics how two-particle pseudorapidity correlation functions in heavy ion collisions at the LHC and RHIC depend on the number of particle producing sources and the transport properties of the produced medium. In particular, we present results for the Legendre coefficients of the two-particle pseudorapidity correlation function in Pb+Pb collisions at 2760 GeV and Au+Au collisions at 200 GeV from viscous hydrodynamics with three dimensionally fluctuating initial conditions. Our results suggest that these coefficients provide important constraints on initial state fluctuations and the transport properties of the quark gluon plasma.

description: This paper proposes a new approach to estimating the minimum variance hedge ratio (MVHR) based on the wild bootstrap and evaluates the approach using a spectrum of conservative to aggressive alternative hedging strategies associated with the percentiles of the MVHR’s bootstrap distribution. This approach is suggested to be more informative and effective relative to the conventional method of hedging solely based on a single-point estimate. Furthermore, the percentile-based MVHRs are robust to influential outliers, non-normality, and unknown forms of heteroskedasticity. The bootstrap percentile-based hedging strategies’ effectiveness is compared with those from the naïve method and the asymmetric DCC-GARCH model for a range of financial assets and commodities. The bootstrap percentile-based hedging technique is identified to outperform its alternatives in terms of hedging effectiveness, downside risk, and return variability, suggesting its superiority to other methods in both the literature and in practice.

A cell membrane model that reproduces cortical flow-driven cell migration and collective movement

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Biological Physics (physics.bio-ph)

description: Many fundamental biological processes are dependent on cellular migration. Although the mechanical mechanisms of single-cell migration are relatively well understood, those underlying migration of multiple cells adhered to each other in a cluster, referred to as cluster migration, are poorly understood. A key reason for this knowledge gap is that many forces-including contraction forces from actomyosin networks, hydrostatic pressure from the cytosol, frictional forces from the substrate, and forces from adjacent cells-contribute to cell cluster movement, making it challenging to model, and ultimately elucidate, the final result of these forces. This paper describes a two-dimensional cell membrane model that represents cells on a substrate with polygons and expresses various mechanical forces on the cell surface, keeping these forces balanced at all times by neglecting cell inertia. The model is discrete but equivalent to a continuous model if appropriate replacement rules for cell surface segments are chosen. When cells are given a polarity, expressed by a direction-dependent surface tension reflecting the location dependence of contraction and adhesion on a cell boundary, the cell surface begins to flow from front to rear as a result of force balance. This flow produces unidirectional cell movement, not only for a single cell but also for multiple cells in a cluster, with migration speeds that coincide with analytical results from a continuous model. Further, if the direction of cell polarity is tilted with respect to the cluster center, surface flow induces cell cluster rotation. The reason why this model moves while keeping force balance on cell surface (i.e., under no net forces from outside) is because of the implicit inflow and outflow of cell surface components through the inside of the cell.

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved state of the art performance on both classification and segmentation tasks. Applying CNNs to microscopy images is challenging due to the lack of datasets labeled at the single cell level. We extend the application of CNNs to microscopy image classification and segmentation using multiple instance learning (MIL). We present the adaptive Noisy-AND MIL pooling function, a new MIL operator that is robust to outliers. Combining CNNs with MIL enables training CNNs using full resolution microscopy images with global labels. We base our approach on the similarity between the aggregation function used in MIL and pooling layers used in CNNs. We show that training MIL CNNs end-to-end outperforms several previous methods on both mammalian and yeast microscopy images without requiring any segmentation steps.
Relationship between the strength of intellectual property rights and innovation
Creators: name: Jones, Frank C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: This paper discusses the relationship between the strength of intellectual property rights and innovation. It is commonly held that increasing the strength of intellectual property rights will lead to increased innovation. However, this relationship cannot be infinite in nature, instead this paper explores the possibility of a parabolic or logarithmic relationship between these variables. The findings of this study are inconclusive with regard to this relationship, but there is strong evidence the Hofstede Cultural Dimensions cannot be used in place of country indicators when measuring their impact on innovation (GII) or the strength of intellectual property rights (IPR). Additionally, concrete finding in this area were hindered by lacking time series data for innovation and the strength of intellectual property rights. As these terms become better defined and studied, further study of this relationship should be possible with new data.
Imposing law and order: intolerant idealism in British and American foreign policy
Creators: name: Garagiola, Meredith Noël
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: One of the most dominant ideological trends of the past three centuries in the foreign policies of Western powers has been the paradox of intolerance motivated by idealism. Such policies have been known by many names, from “good governance” and “best political practices” during the nineteenth century to “democracy exportation” and “freedom promotion” in recent years. Yet no matter the nomenclature, the underlying principle of these policies remains the same: intolerance for modes of political expression that deviate from the normative bases of the dominant nation’s system. The historical record of course does not provide a clear-cut answer to the question of what a dominant nation should tolerate in the social and political systems of its colonial sub-states. In all cases of imperial expansion—both formal and informal—there exists the challenge of finding the correct balance between aspects of self-rule that should be tolerated and those that should not. This paper will examine some of these policies and the ideology underpinning them, both in the historical context of the British Empire and in their modern-day reincarnation as part of American grand strategic policies. First, we will outline the background and dominant principles of the Anglo-American imperial mindset, as well as their significance to the development of British and American political thought both historically and in the modern era. Second, we will consider the impact of intolerance in societal organization generally before examining it in the context of imperial control. Third, we will briefly discuss the rise of the British Empire and the development of the British imperial mindset in order to understand how the combination of intolerance, idealism, and the desire for imperial control motivated the development of the British Empire and the British national consciousness. Fourth, we will look to the example of the Sepoy Mutiny in India as a case study of the limits of intolerant idealism as a means of social control. Following this we will examine the modern American incorporation of the doctrine of intolerant idealism into American imperial activities abroad, and the extent to which this represents a continuation of the British tradition. Finally the conclusion will discuss the modern practice of Western-led international institutions’ encouragement of self-abnegation in the establishment of democratic regimes, and the implications this practice has for globalization and the future development of the international world order.

description: We present a direct determination of the stellar metallicity in the close pair galaxy NGC~4038 (D = 20 Mpc) based on the quantitative analysis of moderate resolution KMOS/VLT spectra of three super star clusters (SSCs). The method adopted in our analysis has been developed and optimised to measure accurate metallicities from atomic lines in the $J$-band of single red supergiant (RSG) or RSG-dominated star clusters. Hence, our metallicity measurements are not affected by the biases and poorly understood systematics inherent to strong line HII methods which are routinely applied to massive data sets of galaxies. We find [Z]= +0.07 $\pm$ 0.03 and compare our measurements to HII strong line calibrations. Our abundances and literature data suggest the presence of a flat metallicity gradient, which can be explained as redistribution of metal-rich gas following the strong interaction.

Modeling transportation in Abu Dhabi: a 25-year projection of emissions under alternative scenarios of the passenger vehicle fleet
Creators: name: Chinery, Leslie Erin
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The transportation sector is a rapidly increasing source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and criteria air pollutant emissions worldwide. These emissions contribute to global climate change and declining local air quality, with implications for human health. This study develops a model of the passenger vehicle fleet of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from 2005 to 2030 to evaluate the emissions of GHGs and air pollutants under alternative vehicle fleet composition scenarios. A baseline scenario is compared with two alternative scenarios to evaluate the impact of compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and fuel economy improvements on fuel consumption, emissions, and costs. While both CNG vehicles and fuel economy improvements reduce fuel consumption and emissions below baseline levels, the CNG scenario costs US$867- US$994 million more than the fuel economy scenario in 2030. Therefore, fuel economy improvements are expected to be a much more cost-effective mitigation strategy for passenger transport in Abu Dhabi.

description: Sequential recommender systems have demonstrated a huge success for next-item recommendation by explicitly exploiting the temporal order of users' historical interactions. In practice, user interactions contain more useful temporal information beyond order, as shown by some pioneering studies. In this paper, we systematically investigate various temporal information for sequential recommendation and identify three types of advantageous temporal patterns beyond order, including absolute time information, relative item time intervals and relative recommendation time intervals. We are the first to explore item-oriented absolute time patterns. While existing models consider only one or two of these three patterns, we propose a novel holistic temporal pattern based neural network, named HTP, to fully leverage all these three patterns. In particular, we introduce novel components to address the subtle correlations between relative item time intervals and relative recommendation time intervals, which render a major technical challenge. Extensive experiments on three real-world benchmark datasets show that our HTP model consistently and substantially outperforms many state-of-the-art models.

description: The unitary evaporation of a black hole (BH) in an initially pure state must lead to the eventual purification of the emitted radiation. It follows that the late radiation has to be entangled with the early radiation and, as a consequence, the entanglement among the Hawking pair partners has to decrease continuously from maximal to vanishing during the BH's life span. Starting from the basic premise that both the horizon radius and the center of mass of a finite-mass BH are fluctuating quantum mechanically, we show how this process is realized. First, it is shown that the horizon fluctuations induce a small amount of variance in the total linear momentum of each created pair. This is in contrast to the case of an infinitely massive BH, for which the total momentum of the produced pair vanishes exactly on account of momentum conservation. This variance leads to a random recoil of the BH during each emission and, as a result, the center of mass of the BH undergoes a quantum random walk. Consequently, the uncertainty in its momentum grows as the square root of the number of emissions. We then show that this uncertainty controls the amount of deviation from maximal entanglement of the produced pairs and that this deviation is determined by the ratio of the cumulative number of emitted particles to the initial BH entropy. Thus, the interplay between the horizon and center-of-mass fluctuations provides a mechanism for teleporting entanglement from the pair partners to the BH and the emitted radiation.

description: Generational intelligence test score gains over large parts of the 20th century have been observed to be negatively associated with psychometric g. Recent reports about changes in the cross-temporal IQ trajectory suggest that ability differentiation may be responsible for both changes in g as well as increasingly (sub)domain specific and inconsistent trajectories. Schooling is considered to be a main candidate cause for the Flynn effect, which suggests that school achievement might be expected to show similar cross-temporal developments. In the present study, we investigated evidence for cross-temporal changes in achievement-based g in a formal large-scale student assessment in Italy (i.e., the INVALSI assessment; N = 1,900,000). Based on data of four school grades (i.e., grades 2, 5, 8, and 10) over 13 years (2010-2022), we observed little evidence for changes in achievement g in general. However, cross-temporal trajectories were differentiated according to school grade, indicating cross-temporal g decreases for lower grade students whilst changes for higher grade students were positive. These findings may be interpreted as tentative evidence for age-dependent achievement-g differentiation. The presently observed achievement g trajectory appears to be consistent with recently observed evidence for a potential stagnation or reversal of cognitive test score gains.

Parameter constraints in a near-equipartition model with multi-frequency \emph{NuSTAR}, \emph{Swift} and \emph{Fermi-LAT} data from 3C 279

description: Precise spectra of 3C 279 in the 0.5-70 keV range, obtained during two epochs of \emph{Swift} and \emph{NuSTAR} observations, are analyzed using a near-equipartition model. We apply a one-zone leptonic model with a three-parameter log-parabola electron energy distribution (EED) to fit the \emph{Swift} and \emph{NuSTAR} X-ray data, as well as simultaneous optical and \emph{Fermi}-LAT $γ$-ray data. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique is used to search the high-dimensional parameter space and evaluate the uncertainties on model parameters. We show that the two spectra can be successfully fit in near-equipartition conditions, defined by the ratio of the energy density of relativistic electrons to magnetic field $ζ_{\rm e}$ being close to unity. In both spectra, the observed X-rays are dominated by synchrotron-self Compton photons, and the observed $γ$ rays are dominated by Compton scattering of external infrared photons from a surrounding dusty torus. Model parameters are well constrained. From the low state to the high state, both the curvature of the log-parabola width parameter and the synchrotron peak frequency significantly increase. The derived magnetic fields in the two states are nearly identical ($\sim1$\ G), but the Doppler factor in the high state is larger than that in the low state ($\sim$28 versus $\sim$18). We derive that the gamma-ray emission site takes place outside the broad-line region, at $\gtrsim$ 0.1 pc from the black hole, but within the dusty torus. Implications for 3C 279 as a source of high-energy cosmic-rays are discussed.

description: A search is conducted for new resonances decaying into a $WW$ or $WZ$ boson pair, where one $W$ boson decays leptonically and the other $W$ or $Z$ boson decays hadronically. It is based on proton-proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. The search is sensitive to diboson resonance production via vector-boson fusion as well as quark-antiquark annihilation and gluon-gluon fusion mechanisms. No significant excess of events is observed with respect to the Standard Model backgrounds. Several benchmark models are used to interpret the results. Limits on the production cross section are set for a new narrow scalar resonance, a new heavy vector-boson and a spin-2 Kaluza-Klein graviton.
