description: The McLerran-Venugopalan model describes a highly boosted hadron/nucleus as a sheet of random color charges which source soft classical Weizsäcker-Williams gluon fields. We show that due to fluctuations, individual configurations are azimuthally anisotropic. We present initial evidence that impact parameter dependent small-x JIMWLK resummation preserves such anisotropies over several units of rapidity. Finally, we compute the first four azimuthal Fourier amplitudes of the S-matrix of a fundamental dipole in such background fields.

description: The postpartum period is often characterized by increased stressors for a mother. Previous research has shown how maternal factors may impact a child’s attachment and behavioral development. This study investigates how maternal factors (parenting stress, sleep quality, and social support) at 6 months and 30 months postpartum influence a child’s total, social, and separation behavioral inhibition at 30 months using multiple linear regressions. The research explores whether 6M or 30M are sensitive periods of development and how these maternal factors over time may influence a child’s behavioral inhibition. We did not find a sensitive period for maternal sleep quality at 6M, however, we found sensitive periods for parenting stress and social support at 6M and toddler behavioral inhibition – separation. The results also indicated that poor maternal sleep at 6 months and 30 months is associated with lower levels of infant social behavioral inhibition compared to mothers with good sleep at both 6 months and 30 months. Additionally, high parenting stress at 6 months and 30 months was associated with high levels of behavioral inhibition – separation, and poor maternal family support at both periods or poor support only at 6M was associated with low levels of behavioral inhibitions—social in toddlers. These findings indicate the importance of studying behavioral inhibition on a spectrum since both low and high levels can be associated with adverse outcomes. Further research is needed to understand why we found more associations with maternal factors and behavioral inhibition social and separation rather than total behavioral inhibition.

description: The National Egyptian Agenda 2030 recently adopted the concepts of sustainable cities, mitigating and adapting to climate change. This study responded to these concepts by treating sewage to reuse it in softscaping and recycling sludge to reduce energy consumption and support heating systems by producing biogas. Of the limitations of this study, it focuses on a compound to propose a model to increase the sustainability of Egyptian cities. This study used many technologies, such as biological treatment processes, activated sludge, trickling filters, and fixed bioreactors. However, Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) have seemed to be the most suitable technology because of their low cost and footprint. Additionally, a pilot laboratory was established to simulate the sewage treatment plant. It consisted of a primary sedimentation tank followed by an MBR tank and a chlorine disinfection tank, where the sludge was fed into a cylindrical anaerobic digester. The amount of sludge collected generated 41.5 mL/day of biogas. The application of this large-scale batch reactor will produce around 38 m3/day of biogas. Applying the findings of this study to the treatment and reuse of domestic sewage and sludge can provide up to 50% of the water needed for the green area of the compound.

Examining Fossil Mercenaria Species in a Cold Versus Warm Climate Context Using Morphometrics

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: As the Earth gets warmer, understanding how global warming affects various organisms, including economically and ecologically important bivalves, has never been more important. Environmental conditions may contribute to the variation in shape and size of clam shells of the same species among different habitats. Morphometrics is a powerful tool used to measure and compare biological shape and structure of multiple samples and species based on different biotic or abiotic factors. This study compares the shape of fossil Mercenaria shells from different paleoclimate states and latitudes (the Mid-Pliocene Warm Interval and early Pleistocene cooling in North Carolina and Florida) to investigate whether climate change influences shape change. Shape is measured on all samples using landmarks and size of physical features on the shell. Based on the results from Analysis of Variance tests on landmarks and length measurements, there is significant shape differences between populations of different geologic age and low (Florida) versus mid latitude (North Carolina). The results from Principal Components Analyses suggest certain physical features on Mercenaria shells have a significant impact on shape variation among populations. Pallial sinus length appears to be particularly distinct among populations and is likely influenced by temperature, together with other several other ecological factors. Future tests will test alternative hypotheses related to ecological factors, such as sediment type.

description: We contribute a systematic review of situated visualizations in motion in the context of video games. Video games produce rich dynamic datasets during gameplay that are often visualized to help players succeed in a game. Often these visualizations are moving either because they are attached to moving game elements or due to camera changes. We want to understand to what extent this motion and contextual game factors impact how players can read these visualizations. In order to ground our work, we surveyed 160 visualizations in motion and their embeddings in the game world. Here, we report on our analysis and categorization of these visualizations.

description: Silicene systems, due to the buckled structure of the lattice, manifest remarkable intrinsic spin-orbit interaction triggering a topological phase transition in the low-energy regime. Thus, we found that protected edge states are present in silicene antidots and dots, being polarized in valley-spin pairs. We have also studied the effect of the lattice termination on the properties of the single electron energy levels and electron density distribution of silicene antidots and dots situated in a perpendicular magnetic field. Our calculations confirmed that the topological edge states are propagating over the perimeter of the antidot/dot for both ideal or realistic edge termination containing roughness on the atomic length scale. The valley polarization and the slope of the energy line as a function of the magnetic field is, however, reduced when the antidot or dot has a rough edge.

description: Christianizace hrála významnou roli při vzniku raně středověkých států ve střední Evropě. V průběhu 9. století se křesťanství dostalo na území českých zemí, nejprve na Velkou Moravu, kde vznikla samostatná církevní organizace s vlastním arcibiskupstvím. Od konce 9. století bylo christianizováno také území Čech, kde významnou roli v tomto procesu sehrála vládnoucí dynastie Přemyslovců. Již první Přemyslovci usilovali také o vlastní církevní správu, podařilo se jim založit v Praze v roce 973 pouze biskupství. Postupnou christianizaci země a vytlačování starších pohanských kultů dokládají nařízení knížete Břetislava I. z roku 1039 a Břetislava II. z roku 1092. V průběhu 11. století byla také intenzivně budována síť kostelů, takže v první polovině 12. století mohly vzniknout základy farní organizace.

description: The environmental justice movement has stimulated community-driven research about the living and working conditions of people of color and low-income communities. We describe an epidemiological study designed to link research with community education and organizing for social justice. In eastern North Carolina, high-density industrial swine production occurs in communities of low-income people and people of color. We investigated relationships between the resulting pollution and the health and quality of life of the hog operations’ neighbors. A repeat-measures longitudinal design, community involvement in data collection, and integration of qualitative and quantitative research methods helped promote data quality while providing opportunities for community education and organizing. Research could affect policy through its findings and its mobilization of communities.

An Assessment of the Quality of Antenatal Care Services and Client Satisfaction in Primary Healthcare Facilities in Zambia
Creators: name: Bhuiyan, Maliha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Objective: Approximately 35% of children under five in Zambia experience stunting. Nutritional interventions during antenatal care (ANC) visits can reduce maternal and child undernutrition during the first two years of life. Currently, there is limited literature about the quality of ANC services and client satisfaction of such services in Zambia. In this study, we assessed the quality of ANC services and level of client satisfaction based on the type of primary health facility they visited. 

Methods: Exit ANC interviews were conducted with clients at four randomly selected health facilities in each of the 29 Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) priority districts in Zambia. Interview questions consisted of demographic variables, documentation of ANC services received, and client satisfaction. Microsoft Excel was used to generate descriptive statistics and RStudio was used to run chi-squared tests to determine association between variables.

Results: We assessed the quality of ANC and satisfaction for 487 clients. Overall, quality of ANC services was higher at health posts (score of 5.90 out of 7), compared to health centers (score of 5.76) and hospitals (score of 5.73). Clients at health posts had a higher average ANC satisfaction score of 7.04 out of 9, compared to clients at health centers (score of 6.94) and hospitals (score of 6.55). The quality and client satisfaction of individual components of ANC visit differed based on health facility type.

Conclusions: Overall, clients were satisfied with the ANC services they received, though satisfaction had no correlation with the quality of ANC service. Further research is needed to determine client satisfaction of nutritional counseling during ANC visits and the effect of satisfaction level on maternal and child health behaviors.

description: In e-commerce websites, web mining web page recommendation technology has been widely used. However, recommendation solutions often cannot meet the actual application needs of online shopping users. To address this problem, this paper proposes an e-commerce web page recommendation solution that combines semantic web mining and BP neural networks. First, the web logs of user searches are processed, and 5 features are extracted: content priority, time consumption priority, online shopping users' explicit/implicit feedback on the website, recommendation semantics and input deviation amount. Then, these features are used as input features of the BP neural network to classify and identify the priority of the final output web page. Finally, the web pages are sorted according to priority and recommended to users. This project uses book sales webpages as samples for experiments. The results show that this solution can quickly and accurately identify the webpages required by users.

description: A convection-driven multiscale dynamo model is developed in the limit of low Rossby number for the plane layer geometry in which the gravity and rotation vectors are aligned. The small-scale fluctuating dynamics are described by a magnetically-modified quasi-geostrophic equation set, and the large-scale mean dynamics are governed by a diagnostic thermal wind balance. The model utilizes three timescales that respectively characterize the convective timescale, the large-scale magnetic evolution timescale, and the large-scale thermal evolution timescale. Distinct equations are derived for the cases of order one and low magnetic Prandtl number. It is shown that the low magnetic Prandtl number model is characterized by a magnetic to kinetic energy ratio that is asymptotically large, with ohmic dissipation dominating viscous dissipation on the large-scales. For the order one magnetic Prandtl number model the magnetic and kinetic energies are equipartitioned and both ohmic and viscous dissipation are weak on the large-scales; large-scale ohmic dissipation occurs in thin magnetic boundary layers adjacent to the solid boundaries. For both magnetic Prandtl number cases the Elsasser number is small since the Lorentz force does not enter the leading order force balance. The new models can be considered fully nonlinear, generalized versions of the dynamo model originally developed by Childress and Soward [Phys. Rev. Lett., \textbf{29}, p.837, 1972]. These models may be useful for understanding the dynamics of convection-driven dynamos in regimes that are only just becoming accessible to direct numerical simulations.

description: In this paper, we develop an approach to exploiting kernel methods with manifold-valued data. In many computer vision problems, the data can be naturally represented as points on a Riemannian manifold. Due to the non-Euclidean geometry of Riemannian manifolds, usual Euclidean computer vision and machine learning algorithms yield inferior results on such data. In this paper, we define Gaussian radial basis function (RBF)-based positive definite kernels on manifolds that permit us to embed a given manifold with a corresponding metric in a high dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space. These kernels make it possible to utilize algorithms developed for linear spaces on nonlinear manifold-valued data. Since the Gaussian RBF defined with any given metric is not always positive definite, we present a unified framework for analyzing the positive definiteness of the Gaussian RBF on a generic metric space. We then use the proposed framework to identify positive definite kernels on two specific manifolds commonly encountered in computer vision: the Riemannian manifold of symmetric positive definite matrices and the Grassmann manifold, i.e., the Riemannian manifold of linear subspaces of a Euclidean space. We show that many popular algorithms designed for Euclidean spaces, such as support vector machines, discriminant analysis and principal component analysis can be generalized to Riemannian manifolds with the help of such positive definite Gaussian kernels.

Optogenetic stimulation of the infralimbic to nucleus accumbens shell projection in hedonics: Sex differences in rats
Creators: name: Levinson, Max
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Current research into treatment for affective disorders like depression and addiction is focused on understanding pathways in the brain that participate in hedonic processing, the regulation of pain and pleasure. One of these key pathways is the glutamatergic projection from the infralimbic cortex to the nucleus accumbens shell of the rat brain (IL-NAcSh). The IL has been shown to be a homologue of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in humans, an area known to be implicated in the regulation of affective states. Previous studies have shown the IL-NAcSh to be involved in the regulation of negative affect and have demonstrated that stimulation of the pathway during behavioral testing can suppress the expression of learned negative affect in male rats. The same effect has not been observed in female rats, suggesting sex differences in structure and possibly function. We sought to achieve a similar suppression of negative affect in female rats by testing a different stimulation frequency. Optogenetics was used to stimulate the IL-NAcSh projections, and a conditioned taste aversion (CTA) behavioral methodology was used to model the development of negative affect. We found that CTA was suppressed in male but not female rats at a stimulation frequency of 20 Hz, as previous studies had shown. Stimulation at 80 Hz also proved to be ineffective in female rats, providing evidence for the possibility that the IL-NAcSh has different functions in each sex and is not similarly involved in the regulation of learned negative affect in females as it is in males.

description: We consider the problem of observer design for a nonholonomic car (more generally a wheeled robot) equipped with wheel speeds with unknown wheel radius, and whose position is measured via a GNSS antenna placed at an unknown position in the car. In a tutorial and unified exposition, we recall the recent theory of two-frame systems within the field of invariant Kalman filtering. We then show how to adapt it geometrically to address the considered problem, although it seems at first sight out of its scope. This yields an invariant extended Kalman filter having autonomous error equations, and state-independent Jacobians, which is shown to work remarkably well in simulations. The proposed novel construction thus extends the application scope of invariant filtering.

description: Additional file 1. Morphological changes of OA chondrocytes under the action of different concentrations of Paeonia suffruticosa seed extract. Chondrocytes were treated with 10 ng/mL IL-1β and with different concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 mg/L) of seed extract for 24 h. Untreated chondrocytes as control group. Panel A indicates the state of cells just before treatment. Images showed that their morphology and quantity were similar. Panel B indicates the state of cells after treatment. Compared with control group, IL-1β group obviously decreased in cell number, with irregular shapes and disordered arrangement. After adding low concentration (0.01–1 μM) of extract, the number of cells increased relatively and their morphology were closer to normal chondrocytes. But the apoptotic cells increased significantly after treatment with higher concentration of extract (10 μM), which indicated the cytotoxicity of extract. Scale bar = 200 μm.

description: Abstract
Pharmaceutical companies and scientists are interested in five-membered hetero-aromatic molecules such pyrazoles, isoxazoles, and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. As they have various recreational and medicinal uses, new techniques to produce these substances are continually appearing. A novel technique for synthesising 4-iodopyrazole, pyrazole, isoxazole, 1,2,4-oxadiazole, and/or 1,2,4-oxadiazepines is shown in The research examined a novel approach for synthesising 4-iodopyrazoles and pyrazoles by electrophilic cyclization of α, β-alkyne hydrazones using molecular iodine and copper iodide. Initially, α, β-alkyne hydrazones were produced via the reaction of propargyl aldehydes and ketones with hydrazines. The α, β-alkyne hydrazone was treated with molecular iodine and NaHCO3 to produce 4-iodopyrazole in high yield. A similar reaction with CuI and % produces the synthesis pyrazole. Additionally, ferrocenyl substituted 4-iodopyrazole combinations and derivatives were synthesised from α,β alkyne hydrazones by electrophilic cyclization processes. The second portion examined propargyl aldehyde-amidoxime reaction. More chemicals result from this reaction.

Uncertainty and certainty relations for successive projective measurements of a qubit in terms of Tsallis' entropies
Creators: name: Rastegin, Alexey E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study uncertainty and certainty relations for two successive measurements of two-dimensional observables. Uncertainties in successive measurement are considered within the following two scenarios. In the first scenario, the second measurement is performed on the quantum state generated after the first measurement with completely erased information. In the second scenario, the second measurement is performed on the post-first-measurement state conditioned on the actual measurement outcome. Induced quantum uncertainties are characterized by means of the Tsallis entropies. For two successive projective measurement of a qubit, we obtain minimal and maximal values of related entropic measures of induced uncertainties. Some conclusions found in the second scenario are extended to arbitrary finite dimensionality. In particular, a connection with mutual unbiasedness is emphasized.

description: Pseudo-Goldstone bosons (pGBs) can provide technically natural inflatons, as has been comparatively well-explored in the simplest axion examples. Although inflationary success requires trans-Planckian decay constants, f > Mp, several mechanisms have been proposed to obtain this, relying on (mis-)alignments between potential and kinetic energies in multiple-field models. We extend these mechanisms to a broader class of inflationary models, including in particular the exponential potentials that arise for pGB potentials based on noncompact groups (and so which might apply to moduli in an extra-dimensional setting). The resulting potentials provide natural large-field inflationary models and can predict a larger primordial tensor signal than is true for simpler single-field versions of these models. In so doing we provide a unified treatment of several alignment mechanisms, showing how each emerges as a limit of the more general setup.

Modeling and simulations of quantum phase slips in ultrathin superconducting wires

description: We study quantum phase slips (QPS) in ultrathin superconducting wires. Starting from an effective one-dimensional microscopic model, which includes electromagnetic fluctuations, we map the problem to a (1+1)-dimensional gas of interacting instantons. We introduce a method to calculate the tunneling amplitude of quantum phase slips directly from Monte Carlo simulations. This allows us to go beyond the dilute instanton gas approximation and study the problem without any limitations of the density of QPS. We find that the tunneling amplitude shows a characteristic scaling behavior near the superconductor-insulator transition. We also calculate the voltage-charge relation of the insulating state, which is the dual of the Josephson current-phase relation in ordinary superconducting weak links. This evolves from a sinusoidal form in the regime of dilute QPS to more exotic shapes for higher QPS densities, where interactions are important.

description: This is the extended version of the talk we gave during the Arbeitsgemeinschaft on totally disconnected locally compact groups, held in Oberwolfach in October 2014. We give the definition of the Neretin group of spheromorphisms of the infinite $q$-regular tree, and describe its natural totally disconnected group topology, which is not the one that usually appears as the first guess. We also present the proof of simplicity due to Kapoudjian. We do not make any claims concerning the originality of the presented results.

description: Isospin breaking effects in baryon octet (and decuplet) masses are due to a combination of up and down quark mass differences and electromagnetic effects and lead to small mass splittings. Between the Sigma and Lambda this mass splitting is much larger, this being mostly due to their different wavefunctions. However when isospin is broken, there is a mixing between between these states. We describe the formalism necessary to determine the QCD mixing matrix and hence find the mixing angle and mass splitting between the Sigma and Lambda particles due to QCD effects.

REFUGEE REPRESENTATION IN JOURNALISM: AS SEEN IN CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA
Creators: name: Lindsey, Emma
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Across North Carolina, refugees have found a new place to call home. Halfway into the 2022 federal government’s fiscal year, more than a thousand people with legal refugee status have joined the state’s residents.  But those with legal refugee status are not all who have taken refuge in the state, fleeing persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations around the globe. This thesis consists of two journalism articles concerning the news representation of refugees in Central North Carolina. One article presents the critiques and compliments that refugees and nonprofits in immigration resettlement have concerning local journalism. The second article spotlights the mental health struggles of Ukrainian refugees and the obstacles to healing as identified by them and immigration resettlement nonprofit workers. This thesis serves to add to the conversation of journalistic representation of refugees, specifically from local and mental health angles.
