description: An electrothermal model of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) is described. The non-equilibrium state of the resonator's quasiparticle system is characterized by an effective temperature, which because of readout-power heating is higher than that of the bath. By balancing the flow of energy into the quasiparticle system, it is possible to calculate the steady-state large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour. Resonance-curve distortion and hysteretic switching appear naturally within the framework. It is shown that an electrothermal feedback process exists, which affects all aspects of behaviour. It is also shown that generation-recombination noise can be interpreted in terms of the thermal fluctuation noise in the effective thermal conductance that links the quasiparticle and phonon systems of the resonator. Because the scheme is based on electrothermal considerations, multiple elements can be added to simulate the behaviour of complex devices, such as resonators on membranes, again taking into account readout power heating.

Electroweak vacuum stability and finite quadratic radiative corrections

description: If the Standard Model (SM) is an effective theory, as currently believed, it is valid up to some energy scale $Λ$ to which the Higgs vacuum expectation value is sensitive throughout radiative quadratic terms. The latter ones destabilize the electroweak vacuum and generate the SM hierarchy problem. For a given perturbative Ultraviolet (UV) completion, the SM cutoff can be computed in terms of fundamental parameters. If the UV mass spectrum involves several scales the cutoff is not unique and each SM sector has its own UV cutoff $Λ_i$. We have performed this calculation assuming the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is the SM UV completion. As a result, from the SM point of view, the quadratic corrections to the Higgs mass are equivalent to finite threshold contributions. For the measured values of the top quark and Higgs masses, and depending on the values of the different cutoffs $Λ_i$, these contributions can cancel even at renormalization scales as low as multi-TeV, unlike the case of a single cutoff where the cancellation only occurs at Planckian energies, a result originally obtained by Veltman. From the MSSM point of view, the requirement of stability of the electroweak minimum under radiative corrections is incorporated into the matching conditions and provides an extra constraint on the Focus Point solution to the little hierarchy problem in the MSSM. These matching conditions can be employed for precise calculations of the Higgs sector in scenarios with heavy supersymmetric fields.

description: We calculate the spectral dimension for a nonperturbative lattice approach to quantum gravity, known as causal dynamical triangulations (CDT), showing that the dimension of spacetime smoothly decreases from approximately 4 on large distance scales to approximately 3/2 on small distance scales. This novel result may provide a possible resolution to a long-standing argument against the asymptotic safety scenario. A method for determining the relative lattice spacing within the physical phase of the CDT parameter space is also outlined, which might prove useful when studying renormalization group flow in models of lattice quantum gravity.

description: Near-field heat engines are devices that convert the evanescent thermal field supported by a primary source into usable mechanical energy. By analyzing the thermodynamic performance of three-body near-field heat engines, we demonstrate that the power they supply can be substantially larger than that of two-body systems, showing their strong potential for energy harvesting. Theoretical limits for energy and entropy fluxes in three-body systems are discussed and compared with their corresponding two-body counterparts. Such considerations confirm that the thermodynamic availability in energy-conversion processes driven by three-body photon tunneling can exceed the thermodynamic availability in two-body systems.

description: A metagame is a collection of knowledge that goes beyond the rules of a game. In competitive, team-based games like Pokémon or League of Legends, it refers to the set of current dominant characters and/or strategies within the player base. Developer changes to the balance of the game can have drastic and unforeseen consequences on these sets of meta characters. A framework for predicting the impact of balance changes could aid developers in making more informed balance decisions. In this paper we present such a Meta Discovery framework, leveraging Reinforcement Learning for automated testing of balance changes. Our results demonstrate the ability to predict the outcome of balance changes in Pokémon Showdown, a collection of competitive Pokémon tiers, with high accuracy.

description: This study examines the changed dietary behaviors and factors related to ethnic/cultural/religious (ECR) dietary assimilation in students with hybrid identities after moving to a new location to attend the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. A survey questionnaire and semi-structured interview guide were developed to examine the eating habits of students with hybrid identities. Around 59 student ECR organizations at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill were asked to forward an email invitation to allow student members to take part in the research. About 20 students participated in the Qualtrics survey and 6 participated in a semi-structured interview over zoom. All data from the Qualtrics survey were analyzed and calculated the frequency and percentages of students' responses to the questions asked. An inductive approach was used to analyze qualitative data. The results show that the students encountered many challenges that limit their consumption of ECR foods. The key dietary challenges include: campus access to ECR, transportation, religion, and more. Furthermore, the effects of dietary changes were associated with an impact on students' mental and physical health such as loss of ECR identity was one of the biggest impacts.

description: We report the discovery of Kepler-432b, a giant planet ($M_b = 5.41^{+0.32}_{-0.18} M_{\rm Jup}, R_b = 1.145^{+0.036}_{-0.039} R_{\rm Jup}$) transiting an evolved star $(M_\star = 1.32^{+0.10}_{-0.07} M_\odot, R_\star = 4.06^{+0.12}_{-0.08} R_\odot)$ with an orbital period of $P_b = 52.501129^{+0.000067}_{-0.000053}$ days. Radial velocities (RVs) reveal that Kepler-432b orbits its parent star with an eccentricity of $e = 0.5134^{+0.0098}_{-0.0089}$, which we also measure independently with asterodensity profiling (AP; $e=0.507^{+0.039}_{-0.114}$), thereby confirming the validity of AP on this particular evolved star. The well-determined planetary properties and unusually large mass also make this planet an important benchmark for theoretical models of super-Jupiter formation. Long-term RV monitoring detected the presence of a non-transiting outer planet (Kepler-432c; $M_c \sin{i_c} = 2.43^{+0.22}_{-0.24} M_{\rm Jup}, P_c = 406.2^{+3.9}_{-2.5}$ days), and adaptive optics imaging revealed a nearby (0\farcs87), faint companion (Kepler-432B) that is a physically bound M dwarf. The host star exhibits high signal-to-noise asteroseismic oscillations, which enable precise measurements of the stellar mass, radius and age. Analysis of the rotational splitting of the oscillation modes additionally reveals the stellar spin axis to be nearly edge-on, which suggests that the stellar spin is likely well-aligned with the orbit of the transiting planet. Despite its long period, the obliquity of the 52.5-day orbit may have been shaped by star-planet interaction in a manner similar to hot Jupiter systems, and we present observational and theoretical evidence to support this scenario. Finally, as a short-period outlier among giant planets orbiting giant stars, study of Kepler-432b may help explain the distribution of massive planets orbiting giant stars interior to 1 AU.

Some effects of limited wall-sensor availability on flow estimation with 3D-GANs

description: In this work we assess the impact of the limited availability of wall-embedded sensors on the full 3D estimation of the flow field in a turbulent channel with Reτ = 200. The estimation technique is based on a 3D generative adversarial network (3D-GAN). We recently demonstrated that 3D-GANs are capable of estimating fields with good accuracy by employing fully-resolved wall quantities (pressure and streamwise/spanwise wall shear stress on a grid with DNS resolution). However, the practical implementation in an experimental setting is challenging due to the large number of sensors required. In this work, we aim to estimate the flow fields with substantially fewer sensors. The impact of the reduction of the number of sensors on the quality of the flow reconstruction is assessed in terms of accuracy degradation and spectral length-scales involved. It is found that the accuracy degradation is mainly due to the spatial undersampling of scales, rather than the reduction of the number of sensors per se. We explore the performance of the estimator in case only one wall quantity is available. When a large number of sensors is available, pressure measurements provide more accurate flow field estimations. Conversely, the elongated patterns of the streamwise wall shear stress make this quantity the most suitable when only few sensors are available. As a further step towards a real application, the effect of sensor noise is also quantified. It is shown that configurations with fewer sensors are less sensitive to measurement noise.

Media Monopolization in East Central Europe: How Ethnopopulists Stole the Media
Creators: name: Goins, Kyra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Recently political parties in East Central Europe, including Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland, have to come power on platforms marked by intensely xenophobic and populist platforms, despite a lack of immigration into the region. These “ethnopopulist” parties have attempted, with varying degrees of success, to attack liberal democratic institutions in these countries. Media pluralism and freedom have been particularly threatened through “media grabs,” where ethnopopulist parties have used legislation, political appointments, and financial means to take control of public and private media. My three case countries exemplify three different varieties of media grabs: near-absolute media control in Hungary, private media control in the Czech Republic, and public media control in Poland. Through a comparative analysis of media grabs in Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland, I find that media control is an essential tool for ethnopopulist parties to consolidate their political power, but not all tools for media control are equally successful all the time. I find that controlling public media has been particularly effective for power consolidation in Hungary and Poland. Furthermore, grabs of public media were enabled by the lack of a robust opposition in the Hungarian and Polish parliament. Successful media grabs threaten to become cyclical as media control electorally empowers ethnopopulist parties, which subsequently allows incumbents to consolidate power through further attacks on the media and other democratic institutions.

description: Modern music streaming services are heavily based on recommendation engines to serve content to users. Sequential recommendation -- continuously providing new items within a single session in a contextually coherent manner -- has been an emerging topic in current literature. User feedback -- a positive or negative response to the item presented -- is used to drive content recommendations by learning user preferences. We extend this idea to session-based recommendation to provide context-coherent music recommendations by modelling negative user feedback, i.e., skips, in the loss function. We propose a sequence-aware contrastive sub-task to structure item embeddings in session-based music recommendation, such that true next-positive items (ignoring skipped items) are structured closer in the session embedding space, while skipped tracks are structured farther away from all items in the session. This directly affects item rankings using a K-nearest-neighbors search for next-item recommendations, while also promoting the rank of the true next item. Experiments incorporating this task into SoTA methods for sequential item recommendation show consistent performance gains in terms of next-item hit rate, item ranking, and skip down-ranking on three music recommendation datasets, strongly benefiting from the increasing presence of user feedback.

Year: 2023

description: Despite gains in education, health, and the workforce, Black women face inequities that impede their progress in healthcare. To highlight the needs of Black women in healthcare, the study used the Black Feminist Theory, Strong Black Woman Schema, and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Model to examine how historical events associated with ill-treatment of Black men and women led to generational trauma and how learning about these events impact their perception and attitudes about themselves and seeking health care. The study also examined Black women's reaction to the Strong Black Woman Schema. We analyzed narratives from 7 focus groups of Black college women, ages 18-25. Using inductive, thematic analysis, we created these themes: Distrust in the Healthcare System and Preference for Black Physicians. For Historical Instances: Frustration over Historical Events and Science at Black Women's Expense. The Strong Black Women Schema: Hard to Seek Help, Carrying the Weight of the Strong Black Woman, and Internalizing the Strong Black Women Schema. The messages from participants included those of socio-cultural, historical issues and events that affect a Black woman's experience in healthcare. It is crucial for Black women to feel celebrated, heard, and understood to address their healthcare needs. This study discusses the implications of the findings.

description: We show that the effect of measurement back-action results in the generation of multiple many-body spatial modes of ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice, when scattered light is detected. The multipartite mode entanglement properties and their nontrivial spatial overlap can be varied by tuning the optical geometry in a single setup. This can be used to engineer quantum states and dynamics of matter fields. We provide examples of multimode generalizations of parametric down-conversion, Dicke, and other states, investigate the entanglement properties of such states, and show how they can be transformed into a class of generalized squeezed states. Further, we propose how these modes can be used to detect and measure entanglement in quantum gases.

A REVIEW OF THE BARRIERS TO THE CULTURAL AND LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY OF AUTISM SCREENING TOOLS
Creators: name: Schwake, Jillian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is a review of barriers that culturally and linguistically diverse families face when seeking an autism diagnosis. Based on Vygotskian social constructivist theory, which says that culture and language are the foundation of our experiences, communication, and understanding of reality, different cultures and languages will have different markers of development. This is particularly relevant when considering autism screening tools and their application across cultures and languages; if the tools were not created with specific cultural and linguistic norms in mind, they may not be able to accurately identify autism. After reviewing current literature and research, three barriers were found that effect culturally and linguistically diverse families and their ability to attain equitable autism tools. These barriers – use of language, cultural beliefs/social stigma, and lack of access – necessitate new inclusion criteria for research and interventions so that these tools are also applicable for use with culturally and linguistically diverse families. Providing these families with the appropriate tools for obtaining an autism diagnosis is an important step in also getting them access to early interventions. It is hoped that this review will help bring attention to the barriers these families face and increase the research necessary to overcome these barriers and provide them with equitable care.

description: Substance use disorders have emerged as a remarkable public health problem worldwide in recent years. The present study aimed to determine the severity of substance use disorders of individuals who applied to the counseling unit within the scope of the project “Opening Doors to Hope, Holding on to Life,” and to examine the relationship between their sociodemographic, measured characteristics and the severity of substance use. The data of this descriptive cross-sectional study were collected using the demographic information and substance use characteristics, and Addiction Profile Index-Clinical Form (BAPI-K) during the project implementation between February 2019 and December 2020. The findings revealed that 52.7% of the applicants had a low substance use level, while it was high among 23.3%. Significant relationships were detected between the severity of substance use and education level, previous counseling on addiction, level of depression, anxiety, poor anger management, and lack of safe behavior (p < .05). This study revealed significant relationships between the severity of substance use disorders and level of depression, anxiety, anger management issues, and lack of safe behaviors. In this context, considering these factors in the substance use disorder treatment process could potentially enhance treatment success.

description: We simulate tidal streams in the presence and absence of substructures inside the zero redshift snapshot of the Via Lactea II (VL-2) simulation. A halo finder is used to remove and isolate the subhalos found inside the high resolution dark matter halo of VL-2, and the potentials for both the main halo and all the subhalos are constructed individually using the self-consistent field (SCF) method. This allows us to make direct comparison of tidal streams between a smooth halo and a lumpy halo without assuming idealized profiles or triaxial fits. We simulate the kinematics of a star cluster starting with the same orbital position but two different velocities. Although these two orbits are only moderately eccentric and have similar apo- and pericentric distances, we find that the two streams have very different morphologies. We conclude that our model of the potential of VL-2 can provide insights about tidal streams that have not been explored by previous studies using idealized or axisymmetric models.

description: We examine the role of thermal fluctuations in binary condensate mixtures of dilute atomic gases. In particular, we use Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov with Popov approximation to probe the impact of non-condensate atoms to the phenomenon of phase-separation in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates. We demonstrate that, in comparison to $T=0$, there is a suppression in the phase-separation of the binary condensates at $T\neq0$. This arises from the interaction of the condensate atoms with the thermal cloud. We also show that, when $T\neq0$ it is possible to distinguish the phase-separated case from miscible from the trends in the correlation function. However, this is not the case at $T=0$.

description: Topological properties of the spin-1/2 dimerized Heisenberg ladder are investigated focusing on the plateau phase in the magnetic field whose magnetization is half of the saturation value. Although the applied magnetic field removes most of the symmetries of the system, there is a symmetry protected topological phase supported by the spatial inversion symmetry. The Z_2 Berry phase associated with a symmetry respecting boundary and quantized into 0 and πis used as a symmetry protected topological order parameter. Edge states are also analyzed to confirm the bulk-edge correspondence. In addition, a symmetry breaking boundary is considered. Then, we observe a unique type of quantization of the Berry phase, a quantization into +-π/2 of the Berry phase. In this case, the bulk-edge correspondence is also unique, namely, there emerge "polarized" edge states for the case with +-π/2 quantization. We also evaluate the entanglement entropy by the infinite time-evolving block decimation (iTEBD) to complement the Berry phase based arguments. Further, a different type of the topological order parameter is extracted from the matrix product state representation of the ground state given by the iTEBD.

Measuring the Emergency of "Ghost Forests" From 1986  to 2016 and Their Enviro-Cultural Impacts on the Communities of Down East, North Carolina, USA

description: As sea level rises and severe precipitation increases, water encroaches further inland, bringing saltwater intrusion with it. As a result, younger trees and germinants die off first, stopping the regeneration of the following tree population. Older trees die off next, giving way to the emergence of “ghost forests” that are often a key indicator of the transition point between healthy trees and migrating salt marshes and a key indicator of underlying climate change threats to the region..  In this paper, the impacts of ghost forests are studied in Down East, a culturally-rich peninsula of thirteen communities spread throughout the North Carolinian marshes that share a common identity in living at the water’s edge. GIS analysis of the area was conducted using Landsat imagery of Carteret County, NC and the Down East communities, calculating NDVI value band math to find a change in land coverage and greenness values over time from 1986 to 2016 for the overall county area, which were then reclassified and extrapolated in order to see changes in county forests as this rapid deforestation phenomenon occurs. The results of the analysis suggest that there are growing developments of ghost forests around the Otway, Smyrna, and Gloucester communities, which stand as indicators of greater issues of saltwater intrusion and climate change as a whole.
X-Box–Binding Protein 1 and Innate Immune Responses of Human Cystic Fibrosis Alveolar Macrophages

description: Rationale: Alveolar macrophages (AMs) play a key role in host defense to inhaled bacterial pathogens, in part by secreting inflammatory mediators. Cystic fibrosis (CF) airways exhibit a persistent, robust inflammatory response that may contribute to the pathophysiology of CF. Recent findings have linked endoplasmic reticulum stress responses mediated by inositol-requiring enzyme 1α–dependent messenger RNA splicing (activation) of X-box–binding protein-1 (XBP-1s) to inflammation in peripheral macrophages. However, the role of XBP-1s in CF AM function is not known.

Analyzing fibrin polymerization and crosslinking on macrophage function, obesity, and associated metabolic pathologies
Creators: name: King, Katharine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Diet-induced obesity is characterized by a state of chronic inflammation and hypercoagulation, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and diabetes. Fibrin(ogen) is the primary structural component of blood clots, but previous studies identified extravascular fibrin(ogen) deposition in adipose tissue and liver of obese mice and human patients. These deposits colocalize with pro-inflammatory macrophages. Previous studies from our research team revealed that genetically modified Fibγ390-396A mice expressing a mutant form of fibrin(ogen) that lacks binding function for the αMβ2 leukocyte integrin receptor develop significantly reduced diet-induced obesity and associated pathologies. To address whether conversion of soluble fibrinogen to a crosslinked fibrin matrix is required to exacerbate metabolic disease, mice expressing fibrinogen that cannot be converted to fibrin (FibAEK) and mice deficient in the FXIII catalytic A subunit which prevents fibrin crosslinking (FXIII-) were challenged with high-fat diet. FibAEK mice were mildly protected from NAFLD and obesity, while FXIII- mice were only protected from NAFLD development. To begin to determine how different forms of fibrin(ogen) engage macrophages, immortalized human monocytes (THP-1 cells) were incubated with various molecular forms of fibrin(ogen). Gene expression and cell function were analyzed. THP-1 cells bound to wildtype (WT) fibrinogen more effectively than to fibrinogen γ390-396A. However, no differences in THP-1 binding were observed between monomeric fibrinogen and polymerized fibrin. Binding with any molecular forms of fibrin(ogen) did not induce the NF-κB pathway in macrophage-like murine cells (J774-Dual). Here, I have worked on the development of a preliminary in vitro platform for future studies to further elucidate the mechanisms by which fibrin(ogen) regulates macrophage effector function.
