The Evolution of the 'Shut Up and Dribble' Mentality
Creators: name: Dennehy, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The rise in social media prominence across all platforms and increased use by athletes and individuals alike has resulted in many changes in the way players and competitors have been able to utilize technology to share their opinions on matters of social justice. The ability and willingness of athletes to make use of platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and other social networks have had mixed responses across the media and from fans and fellow athletes alike. The ‘Shut Up and Dribble’ attitude surrounding athletes and their ability to share opinions on controversial issues has existed across the United States and around the world for decades, as demonstrated by the historical analysis presented in this study. The developments in the technological and media landscape, as discussed, in addition to the evolution in the progressiveness of athletes and their outspokenness on various matters of social justice and inequality exhibit how athlete activism has transformed over time.

description: We detail the follow up and characterization of a transiting exo-Venus identified by TESS, GJ 3929b, (TOI-2013b) and its non-transiting companion planet, GJ 3929c (TOI-2013c). GJ 3929b is an Earth-sized exoplanet in its star's Venus-zone (P$_{b}$ = 2.616272 $\pm$ 0.000005 days; S$_{b}$ = 17.3$^{+0.8}_{-0.7}$ S$_{\oplus}$) orbiting a nearby M dwarf. GJ 3929c is most likely a non-transiting sub-Neptune. Using the new, ultra-precise NEID spectrometer on the WIYN 3.5 m Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory, we are able to modify the mass constraints of planet b reported in previous works and consequently improve the significance of the mass measurement to almost 4$σ$ confidence (M$_{b}$ = 1.75 $\pm$ 0.45 M$_{\oplus}$). We further adjust the orbital period of planet c from its alias at 14.30 $\pm$ 0.03 days to the likely true period of 15.04 $\pm$ 0.03 days, and adjust its minimum mass to m$\sin i$ = 5.71 $\pm$ 0.92 M$_{\oplus}$. Using the diffuser-assisted ARCTIC imager on the ARC 3.5 m telescope at Apache Point Observatory, in addition to publicly available TESS and LCOGT photometry, we are able to constrain the radius of planet b to R$_{p}$ = 1.09 $\pm$ 0.04 R$_{\oplus}$. GJ 3929b is a top candidate for transmission spectroscopy in its size regime (TSM = 14 $\pm$ 4), and future atmospheric studies of GJ 3929b stand to shed light on the nature of small planets orbiting M dwarfs.

The Effect of State Legitimacy on Terrorist Choice of Targets
Creators: name: Si Yuan Lin

Year: 2021

description: In the academic field of political science, the study of terrorism has proliferated since the September 11 Terrorist Attacks. Despite the seemingly decline in threats of terrorism in the past few years, the study of terrorism remains a relevant topic for political scientists to grasp today. Providing the prevalence of terrorist incidents in the Middle Eastern region and sporadic terrorism threats in the developed countries, understanding why terrorism arises is essential for combating terrorism around the world. In the past few decades, scholars have produced a rich body of studies investigating why certain countries tend to experience more threats of terrorism than others. However, this thesis seeks to deviate from investigating the causes of terrorism and shift the focus toward analyzing the rationale underlying terrorist target choices. The study on the logic behind terrorist target selection is crucial for understanding terrorism in general and carries counter-terrorism policy implications. Moreover, this research paper could potentially answer the question of under what conditions, do civilians are more vulnerable to terrorist attacks than government facilities and officials, and vice versa. To that end, the research will evaluate and analyze the explanatory power of state legitimacy in predicting terrorist target choices. In other words, does a country's legitimacy levels affect the variation in terrorist targets in the post-September 11 periods? The research intends to provide a quantitative cross-sectional time-series analysis employing fixed-effects regressions and negative binomial regressions to evaluate whether state legitimacy is a robust and significant predictor of the variation in terrorist targets. Although the final analysis fails to find a significant association between state legitimacy and terrorist target choices, it affirms that state legitimacy is a significant and robust predictor of terrorist events in general.
Probing the Extent of Fe K$α$ Emission in Nearby Active Galactic Nuclei using Multi-Order Analysis of Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Data

description: We present a study of the narrow Fe K$α$ line in seven bright, nearby AGN that have been observed extensively with the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating (HETG). The HETG data reveal a wider Fe K$α$ line in the first order spectrum than in the second and third order spectra, which we interpret as the result of spatially extended Fe K$α$ emission. We utilize these differences in narrow Fe K$α$ line widths in the multi-order Chandra HETG spectra to determine the spatial extent and intrinsic velocity width of the emitting material in each object. We find that there is modest evidence for spatially extended emission in each object, corresponding to extension of $r\sim5-100$ pc. These distances are significantly larger than those inferred from velocity widths assuming gravitational motions, which give $r\sim0.01-1$ pc. This implies that either the gas is emitting at a range of radii, with smaller radii dominating the velocity width and larger radii dominating the spatial extent, or that the gas is exhibiting non-gravitational motions, which we suggest would be outflows due to slight excess redshift in the line and velocities that exceed the freefall velocity. We also use the spatial extent information to estimate the mass of the emitting gas by counting fluorescing iron atoms, finding masses on the order of $M_\mathrm{gas}\sim10^5-10^8\,M_\odot$. Future work with observatories like XRISM will be able to extend this study to a larger number of AGN and decrease uncertainties that arise due to the low signal-to-noise of the higher order HETG data.

description: Il saggio indaga la relazione tra il fascismo e i giuristi sotto un duplice profilo: A) la formazione di una cultura autoritaria dello Stato, sintesi di ordine e di un potere da cui si originavano tutti i diritti compresi quelli individuali; B) l’affermazione del giurista come un intellettuale specializzato che, nel volgere della crisi dello Stato liberale, guardava ai modelli europei adattandoli originalmente alle condizioni della società di massa, implementando nel contempo il mito della nazione. Nonostante i percorsi individuali e gli orientamenti originari fossero variegati, andò tuttavia emergendo la figura di un giurista che affermava la centralità dello Stato etico, espressione di un articolato e complesso organismo che permeava tutte le branche del diritto (orientamento anti-individualistico). Non solo la giovane generazione di giuristi postrisorgimentali ma anche la maggioranza dei giuristi liberali appoggiarono il fascismo nelle sue istanze di ordine e di riaffermazione della sovranità dello Stato. Si ricordano i numerosi giuristi che si iscrissero al pnf sin dalla prima ora e si sottolinea il decisivo contributo che, nel contesto del formalismo tecnico e di una visione fortemente gerarchica e organicista, essi diedero per la costruzione dello Stato totalitario.

description: The production of the artificial 51Cr neutrino source with activity > 3 MCi for the experiment BEST is presented. This procedure consisted of making a 50Cr target and irradiating it with thermal neutrons in a nuclear reactor SM-3. The production of a target in the form of disks with a thickness of 4 mm and a diameter of 84 and 88 mm included enrichment (to 96.5% in 50Cr) of natural chromium in the form of oxyfluoride by gas centrifugation, electrolytic reduction and refining of metallic chromium, as well as the formation of chromium disks by spark plasma sintering. Simulations of various source geometries, neutron flux and nuclear transmutation were carried out to validate the design of the source, the irradiation device and the transport container, the required chemical purity of the target and the irradiation schedule in the reactor. The calculated activity of the source after 75 effective days of irradiation was 3.55 MCi. The activity of the source was measured by the calorimetric method and amounted to 3.41 MCi at the time of its delivery to the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. This is the most intense chemically pure neutrino source ever produced.

description: Two-proton relative momentum ($q_{pp}$) and opening angle ($θ_{pp}$) distributions from the three-body decay of two excited proton-rich nuclei, namely $^{23}$Al $\rightarrow$ p + p + $^{21}$Na and $^{22}$Mg $\rightarrow$ p + p + $^{20}$Ne, have been measured with the projectile fragment separator (RIPS) at the RIKEN RI Beam Factory. An evident peak at $q_{pp}\sim20$ MeV/c as well as a peak in $θ_{pp}$ around 30$^\circ$ are seen in the two-proton break-up channel from a highly-excited $^{22}$Mg. In contrast, such peaks are absent for the $^{23}$Al case. It is concluded that the two-proton emission mechanism of excited $^{22}$Mg is quite different from the $^{23}$Al case, with the former having a favorable diproton emission component at a highly excited state and the latter dominated by the sequential decay process.

description: We experimentally investigate the effect of particle size on the motion of passive polystyrene spheres in suspensions of Escherichia coli. Using particles covering a range of sizes from 0.6 to 39 microns, we probe particle dynamics at both short and long time scales. In all cases, the particles exhibit super-diffusive ballistic behavior at short times before eventually transitioning to diffusive behavior. Surprisingly, we find a regime in which larger particles can diffuse faster than smaller particles: the particle long-time effective diffusivity exhibits a peak in particle size, which is a deviation from classical thermal diffusion. We also find that the active contribution to particle diffusion is controlled by a dimensionless parameter, the Peclet number. A minimal model qualitatively explains the existence of the effective diffusivity peak and its dependence on bacterial concentration. Our results have broad implications on characterizing active fluids using concepts drawn from classical thermodynamics.

description: While having a comet-like appearance, P/2012 F5 (Gibbs) has an orbit native to the Main Asteroid Belt, and physically is a km-sized asteroid which recently (mid 2011) experienced an impulsive mass ejection event. Here we report new observations of this object obtained with the Keck II telescope on UT 2014 August 26. The data show previously undetected 200-m scale fragments of the main nucleus, and reveal a rapid nucleus spin with a rotation period of 3.24 $\pm$ 0.01 hr. The existence of large fragments and the fast nucleus spin are both consistent with rotational instability and partial disruption of the object. To date, many fast rotators have been identified among the minor bodies, which, however, do not eject detectable fragments at the present-day epoch, and also fragmentation events have been observed, but with no rotation period measured. P/2012 F5 is unique in that for the first time we detected fragments and quantified the rotation rate of one and the same object. The rapid spin rate of P/2012 F5 is very close to the spin rates of two other active asteroids in the Main Belt, 133P/Elst-Pizarro and (62412), confirming the existence of a population of fast rotators among these objects. But while P/2012 F5 shows impulsive ejection of dust and fragments, the mass loss from 133P is prolonged and recurrent. We believe that these two types of activity observed in the rapidly rotating active asteroids have a common origin in the rotational instability of the nucleus.

How Adolescents’ Resiliency Mitigates the Relation Between Household Dysfunction and Maladaptive Behavior
Creators: name: Netschytailo, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction, impact adolescents’ externalizing and internalizing behaviors. However, personal and interpersonal resilience factors may buffer the effects of ACEs on adolescent psychopathology. The present study explored how specific resilience factors (i.e., personal well-being, family connectedness, and peer connectedness) prospectively buffered against the negative effects of household dysfunction on externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Household dysfunction was measured by assessing parental incarceration, substance use, mental illness, and marital status. Participants (52% female) included 176 adolescents with various racial and ethnic identities (White = 30%, Black = 23%, Hispanic/Latino = 35%, Multi-Racial = 9%, and 3% other racial/ethnic identities) aged 11-14 years old during the first wave of data collection and 12-15 years old during the second wave. Results indicated that household dysfunction served as a risk factor for adolescent externalizing behaviors at extremely low levels of family connectedness. Furthermore, this finding suggests that higher levels of family connectedness may be protective as these levels did not possess a significant association between household dysfunction and externalizing behaviors. However, peer connectedness and well-being were not shown to be protective against externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Per these results, prevention and intervention methods for adolescent externalizing behaviors may be most successful when focusing on improving connections within the family.
Food Insufficiency During COVID-19: How Unemployment Insurance Mitigates the Effect of Job Loss
Creators: name: Baker, Katie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: We examine the determinants of the food insufficiency rise during the COVID-19 crisis in 2020. We then examine the degree to which unemployment insurance benefits mitigate the effect of job loss on food insufficiency and quantify the impact of a $600 reduction in maximum weekly unemployment insurance benefits. We utilize novel Household Pulse Survey data to estimate linear fixed-effect regressions and difference-in-differences models. We find that households reporting pandemic-induced job loss have a 4.3 percentage point increase in food insufficiency risk relative to those working, and the gap grows to 6.1 percentage points in the absence of unemployment insurance. While food insufficiency rates decrease by 2 percentage points for unemployment insurance beneficiaries under the $600 weekly expansion, this effect disappears after the additional benefits expire.

Through the $ab$ $initio$ molecular orbital calculation, magnetization, and ESR measurements, this compound is confirmed to form an $S=2$ F-AF alternating chain with Ising anisotropy below about 100 K. Furthermore, we find an anomalous change in magnetization at 1/4 of the saturation value, which is probably a manifestation of the quantum nature of the system.

description: Photodeposition is a specific method for depositing metallic co-catalysts onto photocatalysts and was applied for immobilizing platinum nanoparticles onto cellulose, a photocatalytically inactive biopolymer. The obtained Pt@cellulose catalysts show narrow and well-dispersed nanoparticles with average sizes between 2 and 5 nm, whereby loading, size and distribution depend on the preparation conditions. The catalysts were investigated for the hydrogenation of para-nitrophenol via transfer hydrogenation using sodium borohydride as the hydrogen source, and the reaction rate constant was determined using the pseudo-first-order reaction rate law. The Pt@cellulose catalysts are catalytically active with rate constant values k from 0.09 × 10−3 to 0.43 × 10−3 min−1, which were higher than the rate constant of a commercial Pt@Al2O3 catalyst (k = 0.09 × 10−3 min−1). Additionally, the Pt@cellulose catalyst can be used for electrochemical hydrogenation of para-nitrophenol where the hydrogen is electrocatalytically formed. The electrochemical hydrogenation is faster compared to the transfer hydrogenation (k = 0.11 min−1).

description: Using physical interactive devices like mouse and keyboards hinders naturalistic human-machine interaction and increases the probability of surface contact during a pandemic. Existing gesture-recognition systems do not possess user authentication, making them unreliable. Static gestures in current gesture-recognition technology introduce long adaptation periods and reduce user compatibility. Our technology places a strong emphasis on user recognition and safety. We use meaningful and relevant gestures for task operation, resulting in a better user experience. This paper aims to design a robust, face-verification-enabled gesture recognition system that utilizes a graphical user interface and primarily focuses on security through user recognition and authorization. The face model uses MTCNN and FaceNet to verify the user, and our LSTM-CNN architecture for gesture recognition, achieving an accuracy of 95% with five classes of gestures. The prototype developed through our research has successfully executed context-dependent tasks like save, print, control video-player operations and exit, and context-free operating system tasks like sleep, shut-down, and unlock intuitively. Our application and dataset are available as open source.

description: There has been growing observational evidence for the presence of condensates in the atmospheres and/or comet-like tails of extrasolar planets. As a result, systematic and homogeneous tables of dust properties are useful in order to facilitate further observational and theoretical studies. In this paper we present calculations and analysis of non-isotropic phase functions, asymmetry parameter (mean cosine of the scattering angle), absorption and scattering opacities, single scattering albedos, equilibrium temperatures, and radiative accelerations of dust grains relevant for extrasolar planets. Our assumptions include spherical grain shape, Deirmendjian particle size distribution, and Mie theory. We consider several species: corundum/alumina, perovskite, olivines with 0\% and 50\% iron content, pyroxenes with 0\%, 20\% and 60\% iron content, pure iron, carbon at two different temperatures, water ice, liquid water, and ammonia. The presented tables cover the wavelength range of 0.2 to 500 micron and modal particle radii from 0.01 micron to 100 micron. Equilibrium temperatures and radiative accelerations assume irradiation by a non-black-body source of light with temperatures from 7000K to 700K seen at solid angles from 2$π$ to $10^{-6}$ sr. The tables are provided to the community together with a simple code which allows for an optional, finite, angular dimension of the source of light (star) in the phase function.

description: We report on the solar and interplanetary (IP) causes of the third largest geomagnetic storm (2018 August 26) in solar cycle 24. The underlying coronal mass ejection (CME) originating from a quiescent filament region becomes a 440 km/s magnetic cloud (MC) at 1 au after ~5 days. The prolonged CME acceleration (for about 24 hrs) coincides with the time profiles of the post-eruption arcade intensity and reconnected flux. Chen et al. (2019) obtain lower speed since they assumed that the CME does not accelerate after about 12 hrs. The presence of multiple coronal holes near the filament channel and the high-speed wind from them seem to have the combined effect of producing complex rotation in the corona and IP medium resulting in a high-inclination MC. The Dst time profile in the main phase steepens significantly (rapid increase in storm intensity) coincident with the density increase (prominence material) in the second half of the MC. Simulations using the Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere (CIMI) model shows that a higher ring current energy results from larger dynamic pressure in MCs. Furthermore, the Dst index is highly correlated with the main-phase time integral of the ring current injection that includes density, consistent with the simulations. A complex temporal structure develops in the storm main phase if the underlying MC has a complex density structure during intervals of southward interplanetary magnetic field. We conclude that the high intensity of the storm results from the prolonged CME acceleration, complex rotation, and the high density in the 1-au MC.

description: Accurate real-time tracking of influenza outbreaks helps public health officials make timely and meaningful decisions that could save lives. We propose an influenza tracking model, ARGO (AutoRegression with GOogle search data), that uses publicly available online search data. In addition to having a rigorous statistical foundation, ARGO outperforms all previously available Google-search-based tracking models, including the latest version of Google Flu Trends, even though it uses only low-quality search data as input from publicly available Google Trends and Google Correlate websites. ARGO not only incorporates the seasonality in influenza epidemics but also captures changes in people's online search behavior over time. ARGO is also flexible, self-correcting, robust, and scalable, making it a potentially powerful tool that can be used for real-time tracking of other social events at multiple temporal and spatial resolutions.

description: We present a new observation of satellite galaxies around seven Milky Way (MW)-like galaxies located outside of the Local Group (LG) using Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam imaging data to statistically address the missing satellite problem. We select satellite galaxy candidates using magnitude, surface brightness, Sérsic index, axial ratio, full width half maximum, and surface brightness fluctuation cuts, followed by visual screening of false-positives such as optical ghosts of bright stars. We identify 51 secure dwarf satellite galaxies within the virial radius of nine host galaxies, two of which are drawn from the pilot observation presented in Paper I. We find that the average luminosity function of the satellite galaxies is consistent with that of the MW satellites, although the luminosity function of each host galaxy varies significantly. We observe an indication that more massive hosts tend to have a larger number of satellites. Physical properties of the satellites such as the size-luminosity relation is also consistent with the MW satellites. However, the spatial distribution is different; we find that the satellite galaxies outside of LG shows no sign of concentration or alignment, while that of the MW satellites is more concentrated around the host and exhibits a significant alignment. As we focus on relatively massive satellites with $M_V<-10$, we do not expect that the observational incompleteness can be responsible here. This trend might represent a peculiarity of the MW satellites, and further work is needed to understand its origin.

An Analysis of the Rhombohedral and Hexagonal Structures in Graphite

description: Graphene has been the focus of active research since the isolation of a single crystal layer of graphite, or graphene, by professors Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov. Since then, graphene and carbonaceous materials have been tested for their various electrochemical, as well as physical, properties in order to optimize various pursuits in industrial and green initiative settings. In this thesis, graphite is analyzed to determine which stacking configurations are able to be combined to reproduce experimental results. Various commercially available samples of powdered graphite were used to conduct X-ray powder diffraction or XRD. The diffraction angles, traditionally expressed in terms of twice the Bragg angle, between 42 and 47 degrees were studied as an area of interest. The four possible peaks visible in this area allow for structural classification, via peak ratios, of the average crystal representative of powdered graphite samples. The powdered graphite samples are analyzed based on a quality factor which is dependent on the ratio of the hexagonal to rhombohedral graphite contribution in the average crystal. The samples analyzed were classified with a quality factor and the average number of layers was determined using the principle diffraction peak corresponding to (002). Applications of this methodology are directly present in research, or industrial, settings where the graphite sample structure varies. An error due to this variance could be mitigated by considering the quality factor as a parameter for optimizing the application of graphite.
Exploring the Link between the X-ray Power Spectra and Energy Spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei

description: Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are generally considered as the scaled-up counterparts of X-ray binaries (XRBs). It is known that the power spectral density (PSD) of the X-ray emission of XRBs shows significant evolution with spectral states. It is not clear whether AGN follow a similar evolutionary trend, however, though their X-ray emission and the PSD are both variable. In this work, we study a sample of nine AGN with multiple long observations with XMM-Newton, which exhibit significant X-ray spectral variation. We perform Bayesian PSD analysis to measure the PSD shape and variation. We find that a large change in the X-ray energy spectrum (mainly the change of flux state) is often accompanied by a large change in the PSD shape. The emergence of a high-frequency break in the PSD also depends on the spectral state. Among the four sources with significant high-frequency PSD breaks detected, three show the break only in the high-flux state, while the remaining one shows it only in the low-flux state. Moreover, the X-ray rms variability in different spectral states of an AGN is found to vary by as much as 1.0 dex. These results suggest that the different variability properties observed are likely caused by different physical processes dominating different spectral states. Our results also indicate that the intrinsic PSD variation can introduce a significant fraction of the dispersion as reported for the correlations between various X-ray variability properties and the black hole mass.

Higher rank Wilson loops in the $\mathcal{N} = 2$ $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ conformal quiver

description: In this note we compute the expectation value of a circular BPS Wilson loop in the higher rank totally symmetric and antisymmetric representations of SU(N) in the $\hat{A}_1$ quiver $\mathcal{N} = 2$ SCFT, using a matrix model. We discuss the connection with a recent conjecture stating that expectation values of observables in this sector are obtained from $\mathcal{N = 4}$ SYM by a universal renormalization of the `t Hooft coupling.

description: We consider a quartic interaction of the Higgs and Goldberger-Wise fields, which connects the mechanism of the extra dimension size stabilization with spontaneous symmetry breaking on our brane and gives rise to a coupling of the Higgs field to the radion and its KK tower. We estimate a possible influence of this coupling on the Higgs-radion mixing and study restrictions on model parameters from the LHC data.

description: The closest perihelion pass of Parker Solar Probe (PSP), so far, occurred between 16 and 26 of November 2021 and reached ~13.29 Rsun from Sun center. This pass resulted in very unique observations of the solar corona by the Wide-field Instrument for Solar PRobe (WISPR). WISPR observed at least ten CMEs, some of which were so close that the structures appear distorted. All of the CMEs appeared to have a magnetic flux rope (MFR) structure and most were oriented such that the view was along the axis orientation, revealing very complex interiors. Two CMEs had a small MFR develop in the interior, with a bright circular boundary surrounding a very dark interior. Trailing the larger CMEs were substantial outflows of small blobs and flux-rope like structures within striated ribbons, lasting for many hours. When the heliophysics plasma sheet (HPS) was inclined, as it was during the days around perihelion on November 21, 2021, the outflow was over a very wide latitude range. One CME was overtaken by a faster one, with a resultant compression of the rear of the leading CME and an unusual expansion in the trailing CME. The small Thomson Surface creates brightness variations of structures as they pass through the field of view. In addition to this dynamic activity, a brightness band from excess dust along the orbit of asteroid/comet 3200 Phaethon is also seen for several days.
