description: The Hopf term in the $2 + 1$ dimensional O(3) nonlinear sigma model, which is known to be responsible for fractional spin and statistics, is re-examined from the viewpoint of quantization ambiguity. It is confirmed that the Hopf term can be understood as a term induced quantum mechanically, in precisely the same manner as the $θ$-term in QCD. We present a detailed analysis of the topological aspect of the model based on the adjoint orbit parametrization of the spin vectors, which is not only very useful in handling topological (soliton and/or Hopf) numbers, but also plays a crucial role in defining the Hopf term for configurations of nonvanishing soliton numbers. The Hopf term is seen to arise explicitly as a quantum effect which emerges when quantizing an $S^1$ degree of freedom hidden in the configuration space.

BREAKING CHAINS, FORGING BEAUTY:  REDEFINING AFRICAN JEWELRY DESIGN THROUGH THE WORK OF  EMEFA COLE AND AMI DOSHI SHAH
Creators: name: Herrick, Sydney Ellen

description: Within prevailing art historical discourse, contemporary African jewelry remains overlooked, primarily constructed as a craftwork supplementary to dress. In the specific context of Africa, broad perceptions of bodily adornment are often filtered through a Eurocentric lens, characterized by tendencies towards exoticization and fetishization. Consequently, contemporary African jewelry design remains largely unexplored in art historical scholarship and the broader domain of fashion design. Through an examination of works by Emefa Cole and Ami Doshi Shah, I demonstrate how their use of sticky materials, referential designs, and diverse display methods transcend such conventional categorizations. By positioning their art as fertile ground for exploring critical theoretical frameworks such as Afrofuturism, this thesis highlights a more extensive void in current art historical discourse and advocates for a renewed emphasis on jewelry as an autonomous art form capable of enriching broader understandings of art, culture, and individual expression.

description: We study the evolution of asexual microorganisms with small mutation rate in fluctuating environments, and develop techniques that allow us to expand the formal solution of the evolution equations to first order in the mutation rate. Our method can be applied to both discrete time and continuous time systems. While the behavior of continuous time systems is dominated by the average fitness landscape for small mutation rates, in discrete time systems it is instead the geometric mean fitness that determines the system's properties. In both cases, we find that in situations in which the arithmetic (resp. geometric) mean of the fitness landscape is degenerate, regions in which the fitness fluctuates around the mean value present a selective advantage over regions in which the fitness stays at the mean. This effect is caused by the vanishing genetic diffusion at low mutation rates. In the absence of strong diffusion, a population can stay close to a fluctuating peak when the peak's height is below average, and take advantage of the peak when its height is above average.

description: Although arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form spatially complex communities in terrestrial ecosystems, the scales at which this diversity manifests itself is poorly understood. This information is critical to the understanding of the role of AMF in plant community composition. We examined small-scale (submetre) variability of AMF community composition (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism fingerprinting) and abundance (extraradical hyphal lengths) in two 1 m2 plots situated in a native grassland ecosystem of western Montana. Extraradical AMF hyphal lengths varied greatly between samples (14–89 m g soil−1) and exhibited spatial structure at scales <30 cm. The composition of AMF communities was also found to exhibit significant spatial autocorrelation, with correlogram analyses suggesting patchiness at scales <50 cm. Supportive of overall AMF community composition analyses, individual AMF ribotypes corresponding to specific phylogenetic groups exhibited distinct spatial autocorrelation. Our results demonstrate that AMF diversity and abundance can be spatially structured at scales of <1 m. Such small-scale heterogeneity in the soil suggests that establishing seedlings may be exposed to very different, location dependent AMF communities. Our results also have direct implications for representative sampling of AMF communities in the field.

description: In this study, we explore two mycorrhizal groups during development of riparian soils along a freely‐flowing river. We provide the first documentation of a shift in abundance between arbuscular mycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae during floodplain succession. We used a chronosequence spanning 0–70 yr along a river in northwestern Montana, USA, to test the hypothesis that abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is greatest in early stages of soil development, and abundance of ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) is greatest later in floodplain succession. We also measured the AMF‐mediated process of formation of soil aggregates during site development. AMF colonization of the dominant tree (black cottonwood, Populus trichocarpa) remained low (<5%), while AMF colonization of understory species was high (45–90%), across the chronosequence. Mycorrhizal inoculum potential (MIP) and hyphal length of AMF in soil peaked within the first 13 yr of succession and then declined. No single variable significantly correlated with AMF abundance, but AMF tended to decline as litter and soil organic matter increased. Density of ectomycorrhizal root tips in soil increased linearly throughout the chronosequence, and ectomycorrhizal colonization of cottonwood roots increased rapidly in early stages of succession. These patterns suggest that ECMF are not limited by dispersal, but rather influenced by abundance of host plants. Formation of water stable aggregates increased rapidly during the first third of the chronosequence, which was the period of greatest AMF abundance in the soil. The peak in AMF infectivity and hyphal length during early succession suggests that regular flooding and establishment of new sites promotes AMF abundance in this ecosystem. Regulation of rivers that eliminates creation of new sites may reduce contributions of AMF to riparian areas.

Exchange coupling between magnetic layers across non-magnetic superlattices

description: The oscillation periods of the interlayer exchange coupling are investigated when two magnetic layers are separated by a metallic superlattice of two distinct non-magnetic materials. In spite of the conventional behaviour of the coupling as a function of the spacer thickness, new periods arise when the coupling is looked upon as a function of the number of cells of the superlattice. The new periodicity results from the deformation of the corresponding Fermi surface, which is explicitly related to a few controllable parameters, allowing the oscillation periods to be tuned.

description: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) is a widespread epidemic in the United States, affecting over 30 million Americans, with an additional 34% of adults classified as prediabetic. A T2D diagnosis is linked to a 10-year decrease in life expectancy and an added $9,600 in direct medical expenses per patient. Inadequate T2D management can lead to diabetes-related complications, both microvascular (nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy) and macrovascular (heart disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease). The consequences of poor T2D management are dire, as individuals with T2D are twice as likely to succumb to cardiovascular disease compared to those without T2D. Therefore, effective T2D management necessitates not only diabetes control but also the screening and treatment of diabetes-related complications

description: The fluctuations of electrical current provide information on the dynamics of electrons in quantum devices. Understanding the nature of these fluctuations in a quantum dot is thus a crucial step insofar as this system is the elementary brick of quantum circuits. In this context, we develop a theory for calculating the quantum noise at finite frequency in a quantum dot connected to two reservoirs in the presence of interactions and for any symmetry of the couplings to the reservoirs. This theory is developed in the framework of the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green function technique. We establish an analytical expression for the quantum noise in terms of the various transmission amplitudes between the reservoirs and of some effective transmission coefficient which we define. We then study the noise as a function of the dot energy level and the bias voltage. The effects of both Coulomb interactions in the dot and asymmetric couplings with the reservoirs are characterized.

description: A geometrical framework for the definition of entropy in General Relativity via Noether theorem is briefly recalled and the entropy of Taub-Bolt Euclidean solutions of Einstein equations is then obtained as an application. The computed entropy agrees with previously known results, obtained by statistical methods. It was generally believed that the entropy of Taub-Bolt solution could not be computed via Noether theorem, due to the particular structure of singularities of this solution. We show here that this is not true. The Misner string singularity is, in fact, considered and its contribution to the entropy is analyzed. As a result, in our framework entropy does not obey the "one-quarter area law" and it is not directly related to horizons, as sometimes erroneously suggested in current literature on the subject.

Model Predictions of Methyl Salicylate Skin Exposure Informed by the Variability of Metabolite Urinary Excretion in Controlled Human Exposures
Creators: name: Kirby, Alicia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Human exposure assessments of military protective clothing against vapor intrusion commonly use methyl salicylate (MeS), a simulant for sulfur mustard. Currently, in these exposure assessments the amount of MeS absorbed through the skin after penetrating through the clothing is unknown. A model that relates MeS skin absorption to metabolites in biological samples could provide insight into the total skin exposure. A dynamic mass-transfer model was developed to predict MeS skin absorption and excretion in the urine, when employing a controlled human forearm skin exposure. This model can utilize exposure data to determine human specific skin permeability and toxicokinetic factors. By evaluating many controlled exposure experiments, the model will generate averages and distributions of exposure parameters across the population. The model can then be used to estimate skin exposure from the urine concentrations of those exposed to MeS in field exercises. Ultimately, this could improve the evaluation of protective clothing efficacy.

description: We report a theoretical study of an overdamped Brownian particle dynamics in the presence of both a spatially modulated one-dimensional periodic potential and a periodic alternating force (AF). As the periodic potential has a low symmetry (a ratchet potential) the Brownian particle displays a broken symmetry motion with a nonzero time average velocity. By making use of the Green function method and a mapping to the theory of Brillouin bands the probability distribution of the particle coordinate is derived and the nonlinear dependence of the macroscopic velocity on the frequency and the amplitude of AF is found. In particular, our theory allows to go beyond the adiabatic limit and to explain the peculiar reversal of the velocity sign found previously in the numerical analysis.

description: X-ray observations suggest high compactness of coronae in active galactic nuclei as well as in X-ray binaries. The compactness of the source implies a strong radial dependence in the illumination of the accretion disc. This will, for any reasonable radial profile of the density, lead to a radial profile of the disc ionisation. Svoboda et al. (2012) showed on a single example that assuming a radially-structured ionisation profile of the disc can cause an artificial increase of the radial-emissivity parameter. We further investigate how the X-ray spectra are modified and quantify this effect for a wide range of parameters. Computations are carried out with the current state-of-the-art models for relativistic reflection. We simulated spectra using the response files of the micro-calorimeter X-IFU, which is planned to be on board of Athena. We assumed typical parameters for X-ray bright Seyfert-1 galaxies and considered two scenarios for the disc ionisation: 1) a radial profile for the disc ionisation, 2) a constant disc ionisation. We found that steep emissivity profiles can be indeed achieved due to the radial profile of the disc ionisation, which becomes more important for the cases where the corona is located at low heights above the black hole and this effect may be even more prominent than the geometrical effects. We also found that the cases with high inner disc ionisation, rapidly decreasing with radius, may result in an inaccurate black hole spin measurements.

description: In this deliverable, we describe the setup of a terrestrial ecosystem model, the Community Land Model 5 (CLM5), over continental Europe in the framework of the eLTER RI. For this setup, we first create input data of atmospheric conditions and static land surface information in 3 km resolution and conduct a long-term carbon cycle spin-up for adequate initial conditions of the carbon pools. Then, we evaluate our model results by comparing in-situ observations from eLTER with model data and identify caveats by analyzing the scale differences and data processing methods. To evaluate the simulated ecosystem processes from the European CLM5, we leverage the co-location with data on energy, water, and carbon fluxes from the ICOS RI spanning the whole station network on the continent and the years 1995 to 2018. The evaluation includes the grid level and the plant functional type (PFT) level of CLM5 data. We find that the CLM5 PFT level has a lower systematic bias than the CLM5 grid level, indicating a positive effect of the functional disaggregations in CLM5.  Furthermore, we determine Europe's water-use efficiency (WUE) trends from the European CLM5 and remote sensing data and discover significantly decreasing WUE trends in Central and Eastern Europe. The observations confirmed the decreasing WUE in Central Europe, but the underrepresentation of the station network in Eastern Europe hampered the validation of our simulations. Finally, we outline further activities where the eLTER RI and the  European CLM5 can find synergies, including finding recommendations of focus regions for the RI network design, drought analysis, data assimilation, and creating an ecosystem reanalysis streamlining a data service to users of the RI. To conclude, we emphasize the substantial impact on continental, eco-hydrological research that eLTERalready has as an emergent RI, and the high potential for impactful research with the established RI in future.
Metastability in the two-dimensional Ising model with free boundary conditions

description: We investigate metastability in the two dimensional Ising model in a square with free boundary conditions at low temperatures. Starting with all spins down in a small positive magnetic field, we show that the exit from this metastable phase occurs via the nucleation of a critical droplet in one of the four corners of the system. We compute the lifetime of the metastable phase analytically in the limit $T\to 0$, $h\to 0$ and via Monte Carlo simulations at fixed values of $T$ and $h$ and find good agreement. This system models the effects of boundary domains in magnetic storage systems exiting from a metastable phase when a small external field is applied.

Dispositionalism and the Doxastic Theory of Perception
Creators: name: Mattessich, Thomas John
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Doxastic theories of experience claim, at the very least, that perceptual experience entails belief. In direct contradiction is the claim of the belief-independence of experience, or that perceptual experience is independent of belief. Belief-independence is supported by prima facie counterexamples to the doxastic theory in which a subject experiences as of p, but does not seem to believe that p. One such example is known illusion. A natural response to these purported counterexamples is to posit a psychological mechanism to explain the seeming disparity between what the subject experiences and what she endorses in such cases. In particular, the doxastic theorist might suggest that the problematic perceptual belief p may be “held in check” by a more strongly held belief or set of beliefs. I argue, however, that the success of this response is contingent on the account we give of the nature of the perceptual belief held in check. When the doxastic theory is combined with a representationalism about belief, the belief held in check response fails; but when it is combined with a dispositionalism about belief, the response goes through.
The Russian Orthodox Church in Film: Constructing a Russian Orthodox Nation in Post-Soviet Russia

description: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the development of the Russian Federation, the Russian Orthodox Church has sought to increase its influence with the people and the state. A key way the Church has attempted to this is through the media space, particularly film, which it uses to define what it means to be a “good” Russian Orthodox Christian and thus who can and cannot be considered “Russian.” In this thesis, three films either awarded and/or sponsored by the Church, The Conqueror, The Priest, and The Horde, are analyzed to understand how the Church takes different historical episodes and reshapes them to present the Church and the Russian nation in a positive light. Through these films, viewers are taught a Church and Russian-centric history that argues it is only possible for Russia to succeed if the people are devout followers of Russian Orthodoxy.

description: In this study, a shell-and-tube heat exchanger (STHX) design based on seven continuous independent design variables is proposed. Delayed Rejection Adaptive Metropolis hasting (DRAM) was utilized as a powerful tool in the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling method. This Reverse Sampling (RS) method was used to find the probability distribution of design variables of the shell and tube heat exchanger. Thanks to this probability distribution, an uncertainty analysis was also performed to find the quality of these variables. In addition, a decision-making strategy based on confidence intervals of design variables and on the Total Annual Cost (TAC) provides the final selection of design variables. Results indicated high accuracies for the estimation of design variables which leads to marginally improved performance compared to commonly used optimization methods. In order to verify the capability of the proposed method, a case of study is also presented, it shows that a significant cost reduction is feasible with respect to multi-objective and single-objective optimization methods. Furthermore, the selected variables have good quality (in terms of probability distribution) and a lower TAC was also achieved. Results show that the costs of the proposed design are lower than those obtained from optimization method reported in previous studies. The algorithm was also used to determine the impact of using probability values for the design variables rather than single values to obtain the best heat transfer area and pumping power. In particular, a reduction of the TAC up to 3.5% was achieved in the case considered.

Late-Time Evolution of Realistic Rotating Collapse and The No-Hair Theorem

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study analytically the asymptotic late-time evolution of realistic rotating collapse. This is done by considering the asymptotic late-time solutions of Teukolsky's master equation, which governs the evolution of gravitational, electromagnetic, neutrino and scalar perturbations fields on Kerr spacetimes. In accordance with the no-hair conjecture for rotating black-holes we show that the asymptotic solutions develop inverse power-law tails at the asymptotic regions of timelike infinity, null infinity and along the black-hole outer horizon (where the power-law behaviour is multiplied by an oscillatory term caused by the dragging of reference frames). The damping exponents characterizing the asymptotic solutions at timelike infinity and along the black-hole outer horizon are independent of the spin parameter of the fields. However, the damping exponents at future null infinity are spin dependent. The late-time tails at all the three asymptotic regions are spatially dependent on the spin parameter of the field. The rotational dragging of reference frames, caused by the rotation of the black-hole (or star) leads to an active coupling of different multipoles.

description: We study a model of quantum cosmology originating from a classical model of gravitation where a self interacting scalar field is coupled to gravity with the metric undergoing a signature transition. We show that there are dual classical signature changing solutions, one at large scales and the other at small scales. It is possible to fine-tune the physics in both scales with an infinitesimal effective cosmological constant.

description: We introduce a fermionic formula associated with any quantum affine algebra U_q(X^{(r)}_N). Guided by the interplay between corner transfer matrix and Bethe ansatz in solvable lattice models, we study several aspects related to representation theory, most crucially, the crystal basis theory. They include one dimensional sums over both finite and semi-infinite paths, spinon character formulae, Lepowski-Primc type conjectural formula for vacuum string functions, dilogarithm identities, Q-systems and their solution by characters of various classical subalgebras and so forth. The results expand [HKOTY1] including the twisted cases and more details on inhomogeneous paths consisting of non-perfect crystals. As a most intriguing example, certain inhomogeneous one dimensional sums conjecturally give rise to branching functions of an integrable G^{(1)}_2-module related to the embedding G^{(1)}_2 \hookrightarrow B^{(1)}_3 \hookrightarrow D^{(1)}_4.

Environment-independent decoherence rate in classically chaotic systems

description: We study the decoherence of a one-particle system, whose classical correpondent is chaotic, when it evolves coupled to a weak quenched environment. This is done by analytical evaluation of the Loschmidt Echo, (i.e. the revival of a localized density excitation upon reversal of its time evolution), in presence of the perturbation. We predict an exponential decay for the Loschmidt Echo with a (decoherence) rate which is asymptotically given by the mean Lyapunov exponent of the classical system, and therefore independent of the perturbation strength, within a given range of strengths. Our results are consistent with recent experiments of Polarization Echoes in nuclear magnetic resonance and preliminary numerical simulations.

description: In these lectures I will present an introduction to the modern way of studying the properties of glassy systems. I will start from soluble models of increasing complications, the Random Energy Model, the $p$-spins interacting model and I will show how these models can be solved due their mean field properties. Finally, in the last section, I will discuss the difficulties in the generalization of these findings to short range models.

description: Despite decades of research, the modeling of moving contact lines has remained a formidable challenge in fluid dynamics whose resolution will impact numerous industrial, biological, and daily life applications. On the one hand, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has the ability to provide unique insight into the microscopic details that determine the dynamic behavior of the contact line, which is not possible with either continuum-scale simulations or experiments. On the other hand, continuum-based models provide a link to the macroscopic description of the system. In this Feature Article, we explore the complex range of physical factors, including the presence of surfactants, which governs the contact line motion through MD simulations. We also discuss links between continuum- and molecular-scale modeling and highlight the opportunities for future developments in this area.

Chiral phase structure and sixteen meson states in SU(3) Polyakov linear-sigma model at finite temperature and chemical potential in strong magnetic field

description: In characterizing the chiral phase-structure of pseudoscalars ($J^{pc}=0^{-+}$), scalars ($J^{pc}=0^{++}$), vectors ($J^{pc}=1^{--}$) and axial-vectors ($J^{pc}=1^{++}$) meson states and their dependence on temperature, chemical potential, and magnetic fields, we utilize SU($3$) Polyakov linear-sigma model (PLSM) in mean-field approximation. We first determine the chiral (non)strange quark condensates, $σ_l$ and $σ_s$ and the corresponding deconfinement order parameters, $ϕ$ and $ϕ^*$, respectively, in thermal and dense (finite chemical potential) medium and finite magnetic field. The temperature and the chemical potential characteristics of nonet meson states normalized to the lowest {\it bosonic} Matsubara frequencies are analyzed. We noticed that all normalized meson masses become temperature independent at different {\it critical} temperatures. We observe that the chiral and deconfinement phase transitions are shifted to lower {\it quasicritical} temperatures with increasing chemical potential and magnetic field. Thus, we conclude that the magnetic field seems to have almost the same effect as that of the chemical potential, especially on accelerating the phase transition, i.e. inverse magnetic catalysis. We also find that increasing chemical potential enhances the mass degeneracy of the various meson masses, while increasing the magnetic field seems to reduce the critical chemical potential, at which the chiral phase transition takes place. Our mass spectrum calculations agree well with the recent PDG compilations and PNJL, lattice QCD calculations, and QMD/UrQMD simulations.

Becoming the Villainess: An Exploration of a New Feminine Identity in Otome Isekai Manga and Webtoons
Creators: name: Kargbo, Muziah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: The cultural wave of East Asia continues to grow with Korean webtoons and manhwa being the latest cultural export of Hallyu. Along with Japanese manga, the value webtoons and manhwa have in storytelling through various genres can’t be overstated. This is evident in the rise of the otome isekai genre, a recent trend in webtoons and manga where a young woman gets transmigrated into another world and becomes the villainess. It is a genre that has quickly gained traction amongst domestic and international readers, particularly among young women in their teens and twenties. Through a literary analysis of two such works: Villains Are Destined to Die and My Next Life as a Villainess, this thesis will showcase how villainesses are a new form of female identity in East Asian popular media and how it reflects a shift in portraying villainesses as the new ideal through their independence, freedom, and power in contrasts to previous feminine figures in media. This work argues this new feminine identity reflects the vicarious desires and ideals female readers wish to see, not just in East Asia, but abroad as well.

description: In this article, a practical procedure for absolute intensity calibration for SAXS studies on liquid microjets is established, using a gold nanoparticle suspension as standard so that the intercept at $Q=0$ of the SAXS scattering curve would provide a scaling reference. In order to get the most precise extrapolation at $Q=0$, we used an extension to the Guinier approximation, with a second-order term in the fit that adapts to a larger $Q$-range.
