Improving Indoor Air Quality in Schools to Control and Prevent Asthma in School-Aged Children
Creators: name: Meyers, Gail R., RN, BSN
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Asthma, a potentially fatal chronic disease, is a growing, costly, health problem for employers, insurers and families of children living in the United States. Some states, local governments and school districts have laws in place that protect children from the use of toxic chemical cleaners and pesticides that are known to increase the risk of developing asthma due to volatile organic compound exposure (VOC). Pathophysiologically, this occurs by the chemical scarring of normal healthy lung tissue when exposed to the inhalation of toxic fumes from volatile organic compounds. This reduces air and oxygen exchange at the cellular level of the aveoli and capillaries due to the lung tissue damage. Fumes from toxic chemicals are known to adversely affect air quality in the schools by the release of these VOC’s. The government needs to take action and adopt new laws protecting children from toxins in the environments in which they live and learn. Utilizing Green Cleaning options, instead of chemical products containing high levels of VOC’s to clean schools and homes, is a safer, healthier method of cleaning which prevents triggering asthmatic episodes and additionally protects children from future lung damage. Advocating for local, state or federal laws requiring the use of green, asthma friendly cleaners and pesticides in schools is an important preventative public health intervention policy. Legislators in many states have already recognized the benefits of passing the legislation necessary to protect children from toxic chemicals in their school environment and thereby improving indoor air quality.

description: Building unified timelines from a collection of written news articles requires cross-document event coreference resolution and temporal relation extraction. In this paper we present an approach event coreference resolution according to: a) similar temporal information, and b) similar semantic arguments. Temporal information is detected using an automatic temporal information system (TIPSem), while semantic information is represented by means of LDA Topic Modeling. The evaluation of our approach shows that it obtains the highest Micro-average F-score results in the SemEval2015 Task 4: TimeLine: Cross-Document Event Ordering (25.36\% for TrackB, 23.15\% for SubtrackB), with an improvement of up to 6\% in comparison to the other systems. However, our experiment also showed some draw-backs in the Topic Modeling approach that degrades performance of the system.

description: We prove that (possibly charged) test fields satisfying the null energy condition at the event horizon cannot overspin/overcharge extremal Kerr-Newman or Kerr-Newman-anti de Sitter black holes, that is, the weak cosmic censorship conjecture cannot be violated in the test field approximation. The argument relies on black hole thermodynamics (without assuming cosmic censorship), and does not depend on the precise nature of the fields. We also discuss generalizations of this result to other extremal black holes.

description: In 1984, Bychkov and Rashba introduced a simple form of spin-orbit coupling to explain certain peculiarities in the electron spin resonance of two-dimensional semiconductors. Over the past thirty years, similar ideas have been leading to a vast number of predictions, discoveries, and innovative concepts far beyond semiconductors. The past decade has been particularly creative with the realizations of means to manipulate spin orientation by moving electrons in space, controlling electron trajectories using spin as a steering wheel, and with the discovery of new topological classes of materials. These developments reinvigorated the interest of physicists and materials scientists in the development of inversion asymmetric structures ranging from layered graphene-like materials to cold atoms. This review presents the most remarkable recent and ongoing realizations of Rashba physics in condensed matter and beyond.

description: In a world where nations and economies are increasingly interdependentwhether through the continuing globalization of the economy, ongoing demographic changes, or the rapidly rising costs of health care in various countries- ill health in any population affects all people. It is important that all healthcare students -from public health, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and medicine- as well as students from the Arts and Sciences, law, business, and journalism, learn about global health. Work with immigrants in health agencies to work in a business based in Singapore, people must understand the complexity and origins as well as the cultural implications of diseases like SARS and Avian Flu and issues such as bioterrorism. The UNC Partnership in Global Health is an NIH-funded, university-wide initiative that expands global health teaching and research across the campus in an interdisciplinary manner for both faculty and students. Three goals drive the Partnership: Goal 1: Develop university-wide global health curricula for undergraduate and graduate students and develop new multidisciplinary courses; Goal 2: Create an administrative framework to coordinate global health activities across UNC; Goal 3: Support and expand research endeavors and strengthen the curricula in global health through key supporting activities. These goals encompass a variety of activities, including curriculum and research opportunities, seminars and travel, and central facilitation of global health activities at UNC. The Partnership addresses the need for students and faculty to understand the context of health in a global society.

description: Ultrafast shadowgraphy is a new experimental technique that uses few cycle laser pulses to image density gradients in a rapidly evolving plasma. It enables structures that move at speeds close to the speed of light, such as laser driven wakes, to be visualized. Here we study the process of shadowgraphic image formation during the propagation of a few cycle probe pulse transversely through a laser-driven wake using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. In order to construct synthetic shadowgrams a near-field snapshot of the ultrashort probe pulse is analyzed by means of Fourier optics, taking into account the effect of a typical imaging setup. By comparing synthetic and experimental shadowgrams we show that the generation of synthetic data is crucial for the correct interpretation of experiments. Moreover, we study the dependence of synthetic shadowgrams on various parameters such as the imaging system aperture, the position of the object plane and the probe pulse delay, duration and wavelength. Finally, we show that time-dependent information from the interaction can be recovered from a single shot by using a broadband, chirped probe pulse and subsequent spectral filtering.

description: Traditionally, efforts to achieve perfect absorption have required the use of complicated metamaterial-based structures as well as relying on destructive interference to eliminate back reflections. Here, we have demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally that such perfect absorption can be achieved using a naturally occurring material, hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) due to its high optical anisotropy without the requirement of interference effects to absorb the incident field. This effect was observed for p-polarized light within the mid-infrared spectral range, and we provide the full theory describing the origin of the perfect absorption as well as the methodology for achieving this effect with other materials. Furthermore, while this is reported for the uniaxial crystal hBN, this is equally applicable to biaxial crystals and more complicated crystal structures. Interference-less absorption is of fundamental interest to the field of optics; moreover, such materials may provide additional layers of flexibility in the design of frequency selective surfaces, absorbing coatings and sensing devices operating in the infrared.

A realistic model for Dark Matter interactions in the neutrino portal paradigm

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) that provides an explicit realization of the dark-matter (DM) neutrino-portal paradigm. The dark sector is composed of a scalar $ Φ$ and a Dirac fermion $ Ψ$, with the latter assumed to be lighter than the former. These particles interact with the SM through the exchange of a set of heavy Dirac fermion mediators that are neutral under all local SM symmetries, and also under the dark-sector symmetry that stabilizes the $ Ψ$ against decay. We show that this model can accommodate all experimental and observational constraints provided the DM mass is below $\sim 35\, \gev $ or is in a resonant region of the Higgs or $Z$ boson. We also show that if the dark scalar and dark fermion are almost degenerate in mass, heavier DM fermions are not excluded. We note that in this scenario DM annihilation in the cores of astrophysical objects and the galactic halo produces a monochromatic neutrino beam of energy $ \mfe $, which provides a clear signature for this paradigm. Other experimental signatures are also discussed.

An Evaluation of Risk Factors for Repeat Chlamydia trachomatis Infections: Ten Years of Surveillance Data
Creators: name: Stokich, B. Denise
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Background: Chlamydia trachomatis infection is the most frequently reported notifiable disease in the United States and in Washoe County, Nevada. This disease is associated with a variety of complications and sequelae, and these risks increase with repeated infections. Objective: To evaluate existing local data to identify risk factors associated with repeat Chlamydia trachomatis infections and make appropriate recommendations for prevention. Study Design: A retrospective study of patients reported with Chlamydia trachomatis infection from 1999 through 2008 included in the local application of the national STD surveillance system. Results: Among 9,551 unique cases diagnosed with Chlamydia trachomatis during the ten year surveillance period, 1,173 (12.3%) had repeat infections. Females were more likely than males to have a repeat infection (odds ratio [OR] 1.8, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4, 2.4). Subjects less than 20 years of age and those 20 – 24 years of age were more likely than their older counterparts to have a repeat infection (OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3, 2.6 and OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.1, 2.1 respectively). Subjects seen in STD Clinic settings (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2, 2.2)or by all other providers including drug treatment, other clinic, Job Corps, mental health or Indian Health Services (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.0, 2.0) were more likely to develop a repeat infection than those seen in other settings. Repeat infection was not associated with race/ethnicity, length of time from diagnosis to treatment, treatment regimen, a history of multiple sexual partners; any acknowledged risk or a history of sex with males. Conclusions: Repeat infection was relatively common among this population. The results of this study support more frequent screening of sexually active females, all sexually active persons less than 25 years of age, all persons seen in an STD clinic, and any person with a prior history of a sexually transmitted disease. Missing risk factor data on more than one-third of study subjects suggest the need for a more comprehensive review of available risk factor data, perhaps through the use of the electronic medical record used in the STD clinic. Implementing a patient reminder system to return to the clinic for rescreening using new and innovative methods of communication such as email or text messages may help to identify repeat infections earlier and reduce the burden of disease. Additional prevention opportunities include increased staff for disease investigation, enhanced public education utilizing new forms of communication and social marketing, implementation of partner therapy and streamlined testing protocols, and a shift in focus to primary prevention.

It is shown that, under some conditions, one largest order statistic $X_{n:n}^{λ}$ is smaller than another one $X_{n:n}^{θ}$ according to likelihood ratio ordering. Furthermore, we apply these results when $F$ is a generalized gamma distribution which includes Weibull, gamma and exponential random variables as special cases.

Inpatient Smoking Cessation Counseling: Prevalence and Demographic Bias Among Patients Admitted with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Creators: name: Johnson, Jana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: BACKGROUND: Most studies of smoking cessation counseling have been done in outpatient settings and show that brief counseling can improve cessation rates. However, rates of counseling are low and vary based on patient demographics. Fewer studies addressing the delivery of smoking cessation counseling have been conducted in inpatient settings. Therefore, our research aims were: to assess the prevalence of cessation counseling delivered by providers to inpatient smokers admitted with AMI; to determine if a demographic bias exists as to who receives counseling; and to determine if an educational intervention for providers resulted in an increase in the frequency of smoking cessation counseling. METHODS: Medical Review of North Carolina conducted two prevalence studies of quality indicators, before and after an educational intervention for providers, among Medicare recipients who had been admitted with an acute myocardial infurction (AMI) in approximately 50 hospitals across the state. We performed a secondary data analysis of the smoking cessation counseling indicator from this project. RESULTS: 154 smokers were included in the Baseline study and 147 in the Follow up. Among the smokers, the median age was 68, 57% were male, and 82% were white. Prior to the intervention, 31% received cessation counseling, and after the intervention, 3 8% received counseling (p=0.16). Multivariate analysis revealed no demographic bias as to who receives counseling before the intervention, but revealed greater odds of receiving counseling for those who were male (OR 2.4, 95%CI 1.1-5.2) and lower odds of receiving counseling for those who were black (OR 0.3, 95%CI 0.08-0.8) after the intervention. CONCLUSION: The overall prevalence of smoking cessation counseling delivered to inpatient smokers with a smoking-related illness was low and the educational intervention did not increase it. However, after the intervention, a bias towards white males receiving counseling was demonstrated. Fntnre research needs to focus on effective strategies to increase rates of inpatient counseling and eliminate biases in delivery of that advice. In addition, studies need to be done to evaluate the effectiveness of brief inpatient cessation counseling.

description: We performed molecular dynamics simulations to study equilibrium and flow properties of a liquid in a nano-channel with confining surfaces coated with a layer of grafted semiflexible polymers. The coverage spans a wide range of grafting densities from essentially isolated chains to dense brushes. The end-grafted polymers were described by a bead spring model with an harmonic potential to include the bond stiffness of the chains. We varied the rigidity of the chains, from fully flexible polymers to rigid rods, in which the configurational entropy of the chains is negligible. The brush-liquid interaction was tuned to obtain a super-hydrophobic channel, in which the liquid did not penetrate the polymer brush, giving rise to a Cassie-Baxter state. Equilibrium properties such us brush height and bending energy were measured, varying the grafting density and the stiffness of the polymers. We studied also the characteristics of the brush-liquid interface and the morphology of the polymers chains supporting the liquid for different bending rigidities. Non-equilibrium simulations were performed, moving the walls of the channel in opposite directions at constant speed, obtaining a Couette velocity profile in the bulk liquid. The molecular degrees of freedom of the polymers were studied as a function of the Weissenberg number. Also, the violation of the no-slip boundary condition and the slip properties were analyzed as a function of the shear rate, grafting density and bending stiffness. At high grafting densities, a finite slip length independent of the shear rate or bending constant was found, while at low grafting densities a very interesting non-monotonic behaviour on the bending constant is observed.

description: The holographic quantum entanglement entropy for an infinite strip region of the boundary for the field theory dual to charged black holes in ${\cal A}dS_{3+1}$ is investigated. In this framework we elucidate the low and high temperature behavior of the entanglement entropy pertaining to various limits of the black hole charge. In the low temperature regime we establish a first law of entanglement thermodynamics for the boundary field theory.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected states that are very promising for the design of the next generation of ultralow-power electronic devices. In this letter, we propose a magnetic tunnel junction based spin-transfer torque diode with a magnetic skyrmion as ground state and a perpendicular polarizer patterned as nanocontact for a local injection of the current. The key result is the possibility to achieve sensitivities (i.e. detection voltage over input microwave power) larger than 2000V/W for optimized contact diameters. Our results can be very useful for the identification of a new class of spin-torque diodes with a non-uniform ground state.

Why Buying Organic is Good for Public Health

description: Ongoing research shows that the average American diet is too high in sugar, sodium, saturated fat, total fat and calories, while it lacks the vitamins, minerals and nutrients needed for the body to produce the energy required to fight disease and free radicals. Moreover, research shows that there is a connection between Americans’ insatiable appetite for processed foods and obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Although the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has not taken an official stance on whether eating a diet comprised of mostly organic products is a healthier choice than consuming all conventionally grown products, evidence that it is both safer and more nutritious is accumulating. And while the USDA will not say that it is healthier, the information that they provide about organic food products in the USDA Consumer Brochure: Organic Food Standards and Labels: The Facts, gives a favorable description of how organic food is produced and the impact it has on the environment.

description: This preregistration is a follow-up study to the previously registered study titled: securing favorable impressions. The registration can be accessed here: https://osf.io/axztn/files/. The work investigated the influence of generous gestures in volatile human intelligence (HUMINT) gathering interactions. Here, intelligence refers to information relevant to national or international security provided by a human source. An essential aspect of HUMINT gathering involves a handler establishing an arrangement with a source. In an intelligence arrangement, a handler is a party seeking the information. A source is a party possessing the information. The research examined whether a generous gesture by a handler influences how favorably a source perceives the handler. The research also examined whether a generous gesture by a handler invokes an implicit safety assurance. And whether such a safety assurance mediates the relationship between the generous gesture and how favorably a source perceives the handler implementing the gesture. Data supported the proposed mediation effect of safety assurance. However, safety assurance was measured after assessing the favorable impressions. The ratings of favorable impressions could have possibly influenced participants’ responses when the safety assurance variable was measured. The research must, thus, ascertain the link between the generous gesture and safety assurance in a replication study. Such an experiment must preclude any potential confounding of an assessment of favorable impressions. The present registration is purposed to catalog the procedure protocol for the needed replication. The study primarily reexamines whether generous gestures invoke an implicit safety assurance on behalf of a handler exhibiting the gesture.
