description: With the recent proliferation of artificial intelligence systems, there has been a surge in the demand for explainability of these systems. Explanations help to reduce system opacity, support transparency, and increase stakeholder trust. In this position paper, we discuss synergies between requirements engineering (RE) and Explainable AI (XAI). We highlight challenges in the field of XAI, and propose a framework and research directions on how RE practices can help to mitigate these challenges.
Characterization of Syracuse Maps as Non-singular Power-Bounded Transformations and the Inverse Image
Creators: name: Hande, Anand
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, we will introduce the well-known Collatz Conjecture, discussing
some of the previous work done on this problem. Next, we give a dynamical
system characterization of an arbitrary map V : N → N, which applies to both
the Collatz Map and the related Syracuse maps. In the third section of this
thesis, we discuss some number theoretic properties of the Collatz inverse image,
comparing some properties to one particular subclass of the Syracuse maps. In
the last section, we analyze previous density results, looking at what this does
and does not give in terms of density results on the elements with unbounded
Collatz trajectories, denoted by D2. We also motivate the study of density
results regarding D2, by showing how previous results may be strengthened
with the assumption that D2 has asymptoptic density 0. Part of the results in
this thesis can be found in [2].

description: The initial innate immune response to ozone (O3) in the lung is orchestrated by structural cells, such as epithelial cells, and resident immune cells, such as airway macrophages (Macs). We developed an epithelial cell–Mac coculture model to investigate how epithelial cell–derived signals affect Mac response to O3. Macs from the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of healthy volunteers were cocultured with the human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) or alveolar (A549) epithelial cell lines. Cocultures, Mac monocultures, and epithelial cell monocultures were exposed to O3 or air, and Mac immunophenotype, phagocytosis, and cytotoxicity were assessed. Quantities of hyaluronic acid (HA) and IL-8 were compared across cultures and in BAL fluid from healthy volunteers exposed to O3 or air for in vivo confirmation. We show that Macs in coculture had increased markers of alternative activation, enhanced cytotoxicity, and reduced phagocytosis compared with Macs in monoculture that differed based on coculture with A549 or 16HBE. Production of HA by epithelial cell monocultures was not affected by O3, but quantities of HA in the in vitro coculture and BAL fluid from volunteers exposed in vivo were increased with O3 exposure, indicating that O3 exposure impairs Mac regulation of HA. Together, we show epithelial cell–Mac coculture models that have many similarities to the in vivo responses to O3, and demonstrate that epithelial cell–derived signals are important determinants of Mac immunophenotype and response to O3.

description: Time-resolved charge transport measurement for one-dimensional edge states is a powerful means for investigating nonequilibrium charge dynamics and underlying interaction effects therein. Here, we report a versatile on-chip time-resolved transport measurement scheme that does not require a quantum point contact and is therefore applicable to narrow-gap systems. We apply the technique to non-inverted InAs/In$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$Sb composite quantum wells, where its ambipolar character enables us to demonstrate the scheme in both the electron and hole regimes separately using a single device. Time-resolved measurements in the quantum Hall regimes clearly exhibit the chirality of each carrier, with pulsed charge waveforms observed only for one magnetic field direction opposite for electrons and holes. Waveform analysis in the time domain reveals reduced group velocity and broadening of edge magnetoplasmon pulses in both the electron and hole regimes, suggesting the influence of charge puddles in the bulk. Our time-resolved measurement scheme, applicable to various systems, will pave the way for investigations of dynamical properties of exotic topological edge states.

description: By using the Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter formalism in Euclidean spacetime, we calculate the ground state spectrum of $J\leq 1$ hadrons in an SU(2) gauge theory with 2 fundamental fermions. We show that the rainbow-ladder truncation, commonly employed in QCD studies, is unsuitable for a description of an SU(2) theory. This we remedy by truncating at the level of the quark-gluon vertex Dyson-Schwinger equation in a diagrammatic expansion. Results obtained within this novel approach show good agreement with lattice studies. These findings emphasize the need to use techniques more sophisticated than rainbow-ladder when investigating generic strongly interacting gauge theories.

description: The euphoria around microservices has decreased over the years, but the trend of modernizing legacy systems to this novel architectural style is unbroken to date. A variety of approaches have been proposed in academia and industry, aiming to structure and automate the often long-lasting and cost-intensive migration journey. However, our research shows that there is still a need for more systematic guidance. While grey literature is dominant for knowledge exchange among practitioners, academia has contributed a significant body of knowledge as well, catching up on its initial neglect. A vast number of studies on the topic yielded novel techniques, often backed by industry evaluations. However, practitioners hardly leverage these resources. In this paper, we report on our efforts to design an architecture-centric methodology for migrating to microservices. As its main contribution, a framework provides guidance for architects during the three phases of a migration. We refer to methods, techniques, and approaches based on a variety of scientific studies that have not been made available in a similarly comprehensible manner before. Through an accompanying tool to be developed, architects will be in a position to systematically plan their migration, make better informed decisions, and use the most appropriate techniques and tools to transition their systems to microservices.

description: As CMOS nears the end of the projected scaling roadmap, significant effort has been devoted to the search for new materials and devices that can realize memory and logic. Spintronics, is one of the promising directions for the Post-CMOS era. While the potential of spintronic memories is relatively well known, realizing logic remains an open and critical challenge. All Spin Logic (ASL) is a recently proposed logic style that realizes Boolean logic using spin-transfer-torque (STT) devices based on the principle of non-local spin torque. ASL has advantages such as density, non-volatility, and low operating voltage. However, it also suffers from drawbacks such as low speed and static power dissipation. Recent work has shown that, in the context of simple arithmetic circuits (adders, multipliers), the efficiency of ASL can be greatly improved using techniques that utilize its unique characteristics. An evaluation of ASL across a broad range of circuits, considering the known optimization techniques, is an important next step in determining its viability. In this work, we propose a systematic methodology for the synthesis of ASL circuits. Our methodology performs various optimizations that benefit ASL, such as intra-cycle power gating, stacking of ASL nanomagnets, and fine-grained logic pipelining. We utilize the proposed methodology to evaluate the suitability of ASL implementations for a wide range of benchmarks viz. random combinational and sequential logic, digital signal processing circuits, and the Leon SPARC3 general-purpose processor. Based on our evaluation, we identify (i) the large current requirement of nanomagnets at fast switching speeds, (ii) the static power dissipation in the all-metallic devices, and (iii) the short spin flip length in interconnects as key bottlenecks that limit the competitiveness of ASL.

Morphophonological Learning: The effects of frequency and phonological distribution when language learners generalize plural suffixes
Creators: name: Chen, Esther
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: The present study examines how people learn language patterns involving plural suffixes. In languages with multiple plural suffixes, there may be a “default” suffix that speakers automatically resort to except when there are exceptions. Oftentimes, the default suffix occurs more frequently than the exceptions. However, it is also possible to have a “minority default,” which occurs more infrequently than the exceptions. The present study examined how well learners would be able to identify the default suffix when it occurred at the same frequency as the exceptional suffixes (control condition) and when it occurred more infrequently (experimental condition). The results show that participants learned the default equally well in both situations. Therefore, people can still learn the default rule even when it occurs infrequently.

description: Bacterial pneumonia is a common public health problem associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and cost. Neutrophils are usually the earliest leukocytes to respond to bacteria in the lungs. Neutrophils rapidly sequester in the pulmonary microvasculature and migrate into the lung parenchyma and alveolar spaces, where they perform numerous effector functions for host defense. Previous studies showed that migrated neutrophils produce IFN-γ early during pneumonia induced by Streptococcus pneumoniae and that early production of IFN-γ regulates bacterial clearance. IFN-γ production by neutrophils requires Rac2, Hck/Lyn/Fgr Src family tyrosine kinases, and NADPH oxidase. Our current studies examined the mechanisms that regulate IFN-γ production by lung neutrophils during acute S. pneumoniae pneumonia in mice and its function. We demonstrate that IFN-γ production by neutrophils is a tightly regulated process that does not require IL-12. The adaptor molecule MyD88 is critical for IFN-γ production by neutrophils. The guanine nucleotide exchange factor CalDAG-GEFI modulates IFN-γ production. The CD11/CD18 complex, CD44, Toll-like receptors 2 and 4, TRIF, and Nrf2 are not required for IFN-γ production by neutrophils. The recently described neutrophil–dendritic cell hybrid cell, identified by its expression of Ly6G and CD11c, is present at low numbers in pneumonic lungs and is not a source of IFN-γ. IFN-γ produced by neutrophils early during acute S. pneumoniae pneumonia induces transcription of target genes in the lungs, which are critical for host defense. These studies underline the complexity of the neutrophil responses during pneumonia in the acute inflammatory response and in subsequent resolution or initiation of immune responses.

description: This paper argues that repeating and apparently non-repeating Fast Radio Bursts are distinct classes of events produced by distinct classes of sources. I review the evidence for that division, and then discusses the statistics of these classes. They differ in temporal/spectral space, spectral/duration space and rotation measure; the first two differences indicate different environments. I discuss two of the many models of each class of source: black hole accretion discs for repeating FRB and hypermagnetized neutron stars (some observed to produce SGR) for apparently non-repeating FRB. Appendices suggest low cutoff frequencies of coherent emission that are consistent with these models and with known pulsars, and discuss the necessary conditions for acceleration of energetic particles.

description: First, this article considers the nature of quantum reality (the reality responsible for quantum phenomena) and the concept of realism (our ability to represent this reality) in quantum theory, in conjunction with the roles of locality, causality, and probability and statistics there. Second, it offers two interpretations of quantum mechanics, developed by the authors of this article, the second of which is also a different (from quantum mechanics) theory of quantum phenomena. Both of these interpretations are statistical. The first interpretation, by A. Plotnitsky, "the statistical Copenhagen interpretation," is nonrealist, insofar as the description or even conception of the nature of quantum objects and processes is precluded. The second, by A. Khrennikov, is ultimately realist, because it assumes that the quantum-mechanical level of reality is underlain by a deeper level of reality, described, in a realist fashion, by a model, based on the pre-quantum classical statistical field theory (PCSFT), the predictions of which reproduce those of quantum mechanics. Moreover, because the continuous fields considered in this model are transformed into discrete clicks of detectors, experimental outcomes in this model depend on the context of measurement in accordance with N. Bohr's interpretation and the statistical Copenhagen interpretation, which coincides with Bohr's interpretation in this regard.

description: Cooper pair splitters hold utility as a platform for investigating the entanglement of electrons in Cooper pairs, but probing splitters with voltage-biased Ohmic contacts prevents the retention of electrons from split pairs since they can escape to the drain reservoirs. We report the ability to controllably split and retain single Cooper pairs in a multi-quantum-dot device isolated from lead reservoirs, and separately demonstrate a technique for detecting the electrons emerging from a split pair. First, we identify a coherent Cooper pair splitting charge transition using dispersive gate sensing at GHz frequencies. Second, we utilize a double quantum dot as an electron parity sensor to detect parity changes resulting from electrons emerging from a superconducting island.

description: Tissue factor (TF) initiates the extrinsic coagulation cascade in response to tissue injury, leading to local fibrin deposition. Low levels of TF in mice are associated with increased severity of acute lung injury (ALI) after intratracheal LPS administration. However, the cellular sources of the TF required for protection from LPS-induced ALI remain unknown. In the current study, transgenic mice with cell-specific deletions of TF in the lung epithelium or myeloid cells were treated with intratracheal LPS to determine the cellular sources of TF important in direct ALI. Cell-specific deletion of TF in the lung epithelium reduced total lung TF expression to 39% of wild-type (WT) levels at baseline and to 29% of WT levels after intratracheal LPS. In contrast, there was no reduction of TF with myeloid cell TF deletion. Mice lacking myeloid cell TF did not differ from WT mice in coagulation, inflammation, permeability, or hemorrhage. However, mice lacking lung epithelial TF had increased tissue injury, impaired activation of coagulation in the airspace, disrupted alveolar permeability, and increased alveolar hemorrhage after intratracheal LPS. Deletion of epithelial TF did not affect alveolar permeability in an indirect model of ALI caused by systemic LPS infusion. These studies demonstrate that the lung epithelium is the primary source of TF in the lung, contributing 60–70% of total lung TF, and that lung epithelial, but not myeloid, TF may be protective in direct ALI.

description: The hyperfine structure of the interstitial muonium (Mu) center in rutile (TiO$_2$, weakly $n$-type) has been identified by means of muon spin rotation technique. The angle-resolved hyperfine parameter has a tetragonal anisotropy within the $ab$ plane and axial anisotropy along the $c$ axis, strongly suggesting that Mu simulates the known local structure of interstitial hydrogen (H) located at an off-center position within a channel along $c$ axis, and the electron wave function bound to Mu is highly delocalized (~1.5 nm along $c$ axis, ~0.8 nm for $a$ axis). The ionization energy of Mu ($\rightarrow μ^+ + e^-$) due to thermal activation is deduced to be 1.2(4) meV, as is directly inferred from the disappearance of Mu signal above ~8 K. These observations suggest that electronic level associated with Mu (as well as H) is situated near the bottom of the conduction band, serving as a shallow donor state in rutile.
description: This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to inappropriate analysis of data regarding the angular dependence of the muonium hyperfine parameters, although the main conclusion of the paper remains mostly intact

description: We study an operation in matroid theory that allows one to transition a given matroid into another with more bases via relaxing a \emph{stressed subset}. This framework provides a new combinatorial characterization of the class of split matroids. Moreover, it permits to describe an explicit matroid subdivision of a hypersimplex, which in turn can be used to write down concrete formulas for the evaluations of any valuative invariant on these matroids. This shows that evaluations on split matroids depend solely on the behavior of the invariant on tractable subclass of Schubert matroids. We address systematically the consequences of our approach for several invariants. They include the volume and Ehrhart polynomial of base polytopes, the Tutte polynomial, Kazhdan--Lusztig polynomials, the Whitney numbers of the first and second kind, spectrum polynomials and a generalization of these by Denham, chain polynomials and Speyer's $g$-polynomials, as well as Chow rings of matroids and their Hilbert--Poincaré series. The flexibility of this setting allows us to give a unified explanation for several recent results regarding the listed invariants; furthermore, we emphasize it as a powerful computational tool to produce explicit data and concrete examples.

description: An attempt to study the feasibility of a new experiment to search for double beta decay in $^{112}$Sn and $^{124}$Sn was carried out by using ultra-low background HPGe detector (244 cm$^{3}$) inside the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS) of the INFN (Italy). A small sample of natural Sn was examined for 2367.5 h. The radioactive contamination of the sample has been estimated. The data has also been considered to calculate the present sensitivity for the proposed search; half-life limits $\sim$ $10^{17} - 10^{18}$ years for $β^{+}$EC and EC-EC processes in $^{112}$Sn and $\sim$ $10^{18}$ years for $β^{-}β^{-}$ transition in $^{124}$Sn were measured. In the last section of the paper the enhancement of the sensitivity for a proposed experiment with larger mass to reach theoretically estimated values of half-lives is discussed.

description: Background:Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is a common health condition impacting mood, energy, recreation, sleep, and overall quality of life. Nasal surgery often addresses NAO but the results are sometimes unsatisfactory. Evaluating surgical treatment efficacy could be improved if objective tests were available that correlated with patient-reported measures of symptoms. The goal of this study was to develop methods for comparing nasal resistance computed by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models with patient-reported symptoms of NAO using early data from a 4-year prospective study.Methods:Computed tomography (CT) scans and patient-reported scores from the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale and a visual analog scale (VAS) measuring unilateral airflow sensation were obtained pre- and postoperatively in two NAO patients showing no significant mucosal asymmetry who were successfully treated with functional nasal surgery, including septoplasty. Pre- and postsurgery CFD models were created from the CT scans. Numerical simulation of steady-state inspiratory airflow was used to calculate bilateral and unilateral CFD-derived nasal resistance (CFD-NR).Results:In both subjects, NOSE and VAS scores improved after surgery, bilateral CFD-NR decreased, and unilateral CFD-NR decreased on the affected side. In addition, NOSE and VAS scores tracked with unilateral CFD-NR on the affected side.Conclusion:These preliminary results suggest a possible correlation between unilateral NR and patient-reported symptoms and imply that analysis of unilateral obstruction should focus on the affected side. A formal investigation of unilateral CFD-NR and patient-reported symptoms in a series of NAO patients is needed to determine if these variables are correlated.

description: We report magnetic and thermodynamic properties of single crystal $α$-RuCl$_3$, in which the Ru$^{3+}$ ($4d^5$) ion is in its low spin state and forms a honeycomb lattice. Two features are observed in both magnetic susceptibility and specific heat data; a sharp peak at 7~K and a broad hump near 10-15K. In addition, we observe a metamagnetic transition between 5~T and 10~T. Our neutron diffraction study of single crystal samples confirms that the low temperature peak in the specific heat is associated with a magnetic order with unit cell doubling along the honeycomb (100) direction, which is consistent with zigzag order, one of the types of magnetic order predicted within the framework of the Kitaev-Heisenberg model.

description: Dynamical systems theory has recently been applied in optimization to prove that gradient descent algorithms bypass so-called strict saddle points of the loss function. However, in many modern machine learning applications, the required regularity conditions are not satisfied. In this paper, we prove a variant of the relevant dynamical systems result, a center-stable manifold theorem, in which we relax some of the regularity requirements. We explore its relevance for various machine learning tasks, with a particular focus on shallow rectified linear unit (ReLU) and leaky ReLU networks with scalar input. Building on a detailed examination of critical points of the square integral loss function for shallow ReLU and leaky ReLU networks relative to an affine target function, we show that gradient descent circumvents most saddle points. Furthermore, we prove convergence to global minima under favourable initialization conditions, quantified by an explicit threshold on the limiting loss.
Peer Parent Coach Model: Training Necessities to Nurture Healthy Infants
Creators: name: Price, Carrigan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Background: Parental feeding behaviors (PFBs) during infancy may link food insecurity (FI) and pediatric obesity. Peer support is a possible intervention to address FI and PFBs to support healthy infant growth.  

Objective: To understand the experiences and social resource needs of low-income families with infants <6 months of age to inform the development of a peer parent coach (PPC) intervention.  

Methods: Data were collected via 30-45-minute semi-structured interviews conducted November 2022-January 2023. Parents of infants <6 months were recruited from University of North Carolina (UNC) Children’s Primary and Specialty Care Clinic and were eligible if they were English speaking and >18 years of age. Transcribed interviews were analyzed using the rigorous and accelerated data reduction (RADaR) technique. 
 
Results: Eight parents from various socioeconomic and racial backgrounds were interviewed including 3 who identified as White, 3 as Black, 1 as Asian, and 1 as two or more races. Parents’ income levels varied as followed: <$10k (2); $20-40k (2), and >$40k (4). Emotional support from PPCs was expressed as a primary interest in addition to the support of family members. Reported need for instrumental and informational support was also prominent. Parents attested that PPCs should know about breast- and bottle-feeding (with or without formula) and introducing solid foods, including the frequency and volumes of feedings, positioning the infant, and recognizing hunger cues. Additional informational support parents identified included how to apply to WIC and SNAP and obtain food from community sources. Although endorsed generally, parents identifying as Black more frequently mentioned a need for support with feeding and resource connections. Regarding the processes of PPC intervention, parents suggested training PPCs through hands-on, scenario-based practice, potentially supplemented by lecture and discussion. Recommended approaches for PPC’s engagement with parents focused on sharing experiences and presenting options to empower families in making informed decisions about their infant’s health. Given parents’ desire for PPCs to have personal experience caring for an infant, they acknowledged that one challenge PPCs may face is the time commitment. 

Conclusion: Need for a PPC model exists among our sample of low-income parents of young infants; with appropriate training and knowledge, PPCs may promote healthy infant weight gain by addressing FI through resource connection. 

Practice implications: PPCs have potential to support healthy infant growth via education on PFBs which could improve infant health outcomes, specifically lowering rates of pediatric obesity.

World War II Mobilization in Men’s Work Lives: Continuity or Disruption for the Middle Class?
Creators: name: Dechter, Aimée R.
name: Elder, Jr., Glen H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: The labor needs of World War II fueled a growing demand for both military and war industry personnel. This longitudinal study investigates mobilization into these competing activities and their work life effects among men from the middle class. Hazard estimates show significant differences in wartime activities across occupations, apart from other deferment criteria. By war’s end, critical employment, in contrast to military service, is positively associated with supervisory responsibility for younger men and with occupation change. This empoloyment does not predict postwar career advancement up to the 1970s. By comparison, men who were officers had a “pipeline” to advancement after the war, whereas other service men fared worse than nonveterans.

description: Natural and artificial light harvesting processes have recently gained new interest. Signatures of long lasting coherence in spectroscopic signals of biological systems have been repeatedly observed, albeit their origin is a matter of ongoing debate, as it is unclear how the loss of coherence due to interaction with the noisy environments in such systems is averted. Here we report experimental and theoretical verification of coherent exciton-vibrational (vibronic) coupling as the origin of long-lasting coherence in an artificial light harvester, a molecular J-aggregate. In this macroscopically aligned tubular system, polarization controlled 2D spectroscopy delivers an uncongested and specific optical response as an ideal foundation for an in-depth theoretical description. We derive analytical expressions that show under which general conditions vibronic coupling leads to prolonged excited-state coherence.

description: We examine the possibility of intrinsic interface states bound to the plane of In-Sb chemical bonds at InAs/AlSb interfaces. Careful parameterization of the bulk materials in the frame of the extended basis spds^* tight-binding model and recent progress in predictions of band offsets severely limit the span of tight-binding parameters describing this system. We find that a heavy-hole like interface state bound to the plane of In-Sb bonds exists for a large range of values of the InSb/InAs band offset.

description: Active fluctuations are detected in a growing number of systems due to self-propulsion mechanisms or collisions with active environment. They drive the system far from equilibrium and can induce phenomena which at equilibrium states are forbidden by e.g. fluctuation-dissipation relations and detailed balance symmetry. Understanding of their role in living matter is emerging as a challenge for physics. Here we demonstrate a paradoxical effect in which a free particle transport induced by active fluctuations can be boosted by many orders of magnitude when the particle is additionally subjected to a periodic potential. In contrast, within the realm of only thermal fluctuations the velocity of a free particle exposed to a bias is reduced when the periodic potential is switched on. The presented mechanism is significant for understanding nonequilibrium environments such as living cells where it can explain from a fundamental point of view why spatially periodic structures known as microtubules are necessary to generate impressively effective intracellular transport. Our findings can be readily corroborated experimentally e.g. in a setup comprising a colloidal particle in an optically generated periodic potential.

Gene by Social Context Interactions for Number of Sexual Partners among White Male Youths: Genetics‐Informed Sociology

description: In this study, we set out to investigate whether introducing molecular genetic measures into an analysis of sexual partner variety will yield novel sociological insights. The data source is the white male DNA sample in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Our empirical analysis has produced a robust protective effect of the 9R/9R genotype relative to the Any10R genotype in the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1). The gene-environment interaction analysis demonstrates that the protective effect of 9R/9R tends to be lost in schools in which higher proportions of students start having sex early or among those with relatively low levels of cognitive ability. Our genetics-informed sociological analysis suggests that the “one size” of a single social theory may not fit all. Explaining a human trait or behavior may require a theory that accommodates the complex interplay between social contextual and individual influences and genetic predispositions.
