description: We construct a three-dimensional, fully relativistic numerical model of a universe filled with an inhomogeneous pressureless fluid, starting from initial data that represent a perturbation of the Einstein-de Sitter model. We then measure the departure of the average expansion rate with respect to this homogeneous and isotropic reference model, comparing local quantities to the predictions of linear perturbation theory. We find that collapsing perturbations reach the turnaround point much earlier than expected from the reference spherical top-hat collapse model and that the local deviation of the expansion rate from the homogeneous one can be as high as $28\%$ at an underdensity, for an initial density contrast of $10^{-2}$. We then study, for the first time, the exact behavior of the backreaction term ${\cal Q}_{\cal D}$. We find that, for small values of the initial perturbations, this term exhibits a $1/a$ scaling, and that it is negative with a linearly growing absolute value for larger perturbation amplitudes, thereby contributing to an overall deceleration of the expansion. Its magnitude, on the other hand, remains very small even for relatively large perturbations.

Copper and Zinc Salts as Escherichia coli Antagonists in Water
Creators: name: Komandur, Abhinav
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Waterborne illness is one of the world's most pervasive causes of morbidity and mortality, with severe health, social, environmental and economic impact. Human faeces are often excreted in such a fashion as to contaminate community water supplies. Frequently, diarrhoeal illnesses also induce dehydration, resulting in increased consumption of water and a resultant decrease in access to an already-scarce resource. Sustainable community water access, especially in contexts where water is scarce, can therefore often not be achieved, and adverse environmental impacts stemming from faecal contamination of water caused by improper waste disposal can often not be adequately mitigated. Metals, particularly copper and zinc, have been proposed as effective anti-microbial agents in aqueous solutions. Were this to be the case, many of the resultant adverse outcomes induced by high prevalence of waterborne diarrhoeal illness could be mitigated or entirely prevented. This research aimed to quantify the overall disinfecting effects of copper and zinc, in the ionic form, as well as the kinetics of such disinfection on Escherichia coli. Experiments were conducted in room-temperature water (varying between 18 and 23 degrees Centigrade) buffered to a pH of 7.2. It was found that copper and zinc salts in a consumable dosage result in a reduction in cultivable E.coli on the order of approximately 10^3 after a period of approximately 6 hours, with significant disinfection being observed after as little time as 20 minutes.

description: Recent work using tools from quantum information theory has shown that at the nanoscale where quantum effects become prevalent, there is not one thermodynamical second law but many. Derivations of these laws assume that an experimenter has very precise control of the system and heat bath. Here we show that these multitude of laws can be saturated using two very simple operations: changing the energy levels of the system and thermalizing over any two system energy levels. Using these two operations, one can distill the optimal amount of work from a system, as well as perform the reverse formation process. Even more surprisingly, using only these two operations and one ancilla qubit in a thermal state, one can transform any state into any other state allowable by the second laws. We thus have the remarkable result that the second laws hold for fine-grained manipulation of system and bath, but can be achieved using very coarse control. This brings the full array of thermal operations into a regime accessible by experiment, and establishes the physical relevance of these second laws.

A Compilation of Measurements of Radon in North Carolina Groundwater and a Study of Sample Collection Methods
Creators: name: Dusenbury, Bernard D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: This project was conducted to meet two primary objectives. The first objective was to compile data on radon in water in North Carolina from studies conducted by the United States Environmental Prdtection Agency, the North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The second objective was to compare radon in water sampling methods using a laboratory study and small scale field study to evaluate the feasibility of a statewide sampling program. The effect of mailing the samples was also evaluated as part of this feasibility study. Radon levels in North Carolina groundwater supplies range from near zero picoCuries per liter to above 55,000 picoCuries per liter. The lower levels were generally found in supplies from the Coastal Plain. The higher levels tended to be found in the western part of the state or associated with certain geologic features in the Piedmont. The laboratory study indicated that standard syringe method and non-syringe method sampling methods did not produce statistically different results, whether the samples were mailed or not mailed. The field study basically produced similar results, though sample handling may have produced differences in results between mailed and non-mailed samples. Further development of a statewide program for radon in water monitoring using methods presented here was recommended.
The Effect of Race on Determining the Treatment Response to Serotonergic Antidepressant Drugs in Intellectually Disabled Adults
Creators: name: Shetty, Mahesh Jaya

Year: 2004

description: Ethnic factors altering drug efficacy has been a major Public Health concern over the last twenty years, especially with the increased use of antidepressant medications such as serotonergic drugs. Although there has been research stating a role for ethnicity in determining the treatment response to serotonergic antidepressant drugs in depressed individuals, there have been few or no clinical studies performed to verify these drug effects on a different cohort of patients. This investigation is a retrospective study of thirty-eight mentally retarded individuals who were residing in a state run facility for the intellectually disabled between the years 1994 and 2000. All the study subjects were given serotonergic antidepressants in order to alleviate challenging maladaptive behaviors for at least a minimum of three months during this time period. The study assessed the impact of race on treatment response to these challenging behaviors. The subjects were scored by a 'Clinical Global Impressions' (CGI) like scale, from 1 to 7, where 1 was 'normal, not at all ill' and 7 was 'among the most ill patients'. There was a significant racial difference observed in the improvement of the global scores from the Pre-treatment to the Post-treatment periods. The study thus suggests that ethnicity has an effect on the treatment response to serotonergic antidepressants.

description: We summarise the prospects for Higgs boson physics at future proton-proton colliders with centre of mass (c.m.) energies up to 100 TeV. We first provide the production cross sections for the Higgs boson of the Standard Model from 13 TeV to 100 TeV, in the main production mechanisms and in subleading but important ones such as double Higgs production, triple production and associated production with two gauge bosons or with a single top quark. We then discuss the production of Higgs particles in beyond the Standard Model scenarios, starting with the one in the continuum of a pair of scalar, fermionic and vector dark matter particles in Higgs-portal models in various channels with virtual Higgs exchange. The cross sections for the production of the heavier CP-even and CP-odd neutral Higgs states and the charged Higgs states in two-Higgs doublet models, with a specific study of the case of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, are then given. The sensitivity of a 100 TeV proton machine to probe the new Higgs states is discussed and compared to that of the LHC with a c.m. energy of 14 TeV and at high luminosity.

Uncertainty relations for general unitary operators

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive several uncertainty relations for two arbitrary unitary operators acting on physical states of a Hilbert space. We show that our bounds are tighter in various cases than the ones existing in the current literature. Using the uncertainty relation for the unitary operators, we obtain the tight state-independent lower bound for the uncertainty of two Pauli observables and anticommuting observables in higher dimensions. With regard to the minimum-uncertainty states, we derive the minimum-uncertainty state equation by the analytic method and relate this to the ground-state problem of the Harper Hamiltonian. Furthermore, the higher-dimensional limit of the uncertainty relations and minimum-uncertainty states are explored. From an operational point of view, we show that the uncertainty in the unitary operator is directly related to the visibility of quantum interference in an interferometer where one arm of the interferometer is affected by a unitary operator. This shows a principle of preparation uncertainty, i.e., for any quantum system, the amount of visibility for two general noncommuting unitary operators is nontrivially upper bounded.

Modeling and Forecasting Drinking-water and Sanitation Access: A New Approach
Creators: name: Yerg, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Millions of people live without safe drinking-water and billions lack basic sanitation. International monitoring of drinking-water and sanitation influences large scale financing decisions, international policy and project development. Current monitoring practices have been criticized because sequential estimates of populations with safe drinking water and basic sanitation change each subsequent year, which may not allow for optimal distribution of resources. In this study we proposed an alternative monitoring method by comparing rates, sequential estimates, forecast estimates, and goodness-of-fit to current monitoring practices. Results of this study suggest the rate of estimated population coverage is not constant from year to year. A logistic curve reduced changes in sequential estimates from a fitted straight line for 64% of 50 drinking-water country datasets and 61% of 38 sanitation country datasets. Forecasted estimates were more accurate for 64% of 50 drinking-water country datasets and 55% of 38 sanitation country datasets. Based on R-square and finite corrected sample Akaike information criterion, a logistic curve was statistically preferred to a fitted straight line for drinking-water datasets with greater accuracy in 55% of 47 country datasets; for sanitation datasets 42% of 33 country datasets were more accurate. We conclude that halving the population percentage without safe drinking-water or basic sanitation will take longer than current Joint Monitoring Programme estimates indicate for the majority of countries. Additionally, if "full coverage" is defined as 100%, then a new working definition of full coverage is required.

description: We continue our study of zero-dimensional field theories in which the fields take values in a strong homotopy Lie algebra. In a first part, we review in detail how higher Chern-Simons theories arise in the AKSZ-formalism. These theories form a universal starting point for the construction of $L_\infty$-algebra models. We then show how to describe superconformal field theories and how to perform dimensional reductions in this context. In a second part, we demonstrate that Nambu-Poisson and multisymplectic manifolds are closely related via their Heisenberg algebras. As a byproduct of our discussion, we find central Lie $p$-algebra extensions of $\mathfrak{so}(p+2)$. Finally, we study a number of $L_\infty$-algebra models which are physically interesting and which exhibit quantized multisymplectic manifolds as vacuum solutions.

Evaluation of chitosan as a coagulant for drinking water pretreatment use in ceramic filter
Creators: name: Chen, Xinyu
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Safe drinking water is a major concern in developing countries and household water treatment has been widely promoted as a solution to improving drinking water quality. Ceramic water filters have been identified as a promising technology among the multitude of technologies that are available for household water treatment, however their inability to remove viruses demonstrates the need for more research to augment their performance. A complementary treatment method, in the form of coagulation pretreatment of water, can enhance the removal of viruses. After a brief analysis of three kinds of coagulants, (alum, P&G purifier of water and chitosan salts), three types of chitosan salts, (chitosan hydrochloride, chitosan lactate and chitosan acetate) were identified as technical options worth additional study. Experiments were carried out to evaluate chitosan salts performance and results showed that chitosan lactate and chitosan acetate are promising for further exploration.

description: We have systematically studied the nematic fluctuations in the electron-doped iron-based superconductor BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_x$As$_2$ by measuring the in-plane resistance change under uniaxial pressure. While the nematic quantum critical point can be identified through the measurements along the (110) direction as studied previously, quantum and thermal critical fluctuations cannot be distinguished due to similar Curie-Weiss-like behaviors. Here we find that a sizable pressure-dependent resistivity along the (100) direction is present in all doping levels, which is against the simple picture of an Ising-type nematic model. The signal along the (100) direction becomes maximum at optimal doping, suggesting that it is associated with nematic quantum critical fluctuations. Our results indicate that thermal fluctuations from striped antiferromagnetic order dominate the underdoped regime along the (110) direction. We argue that either there is a strong coupling between the quantum critical fluctuations and the fermions, or more exotically, a higher symmetry may be present around optimal doping.

Preliminary Evaluation of Reaction Products from Enzymatic Oxidation of Phenolic Pollutants
Creators: name: Chen, The-Ping
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: The enzymes horseradish peroxidase (HRP), chloroperoxidase (CPO) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were studied for their ability to oxidize the compounds o-cresol, p-cresol, 2-chlorophenol, 4-chlorophenol, 4-nitrophenol and pentachlorophenol. Except for 4-nitrophenol, all the compounds could be completely or partially degraded under the experimental conditions. Enzyme stability was studied, including thermal, peroxide dependent and mechanism-based (suicide) inactivation in the presence of phenolic substrates. HRP did not exhibit significant mechanism-based inactivation, in contrast to CPO and PPO. Different substrates also had different influence on HRP, CPO and PPO stability. Reaction products from phenolic pollutant oxidation were evaluated and compared using C[18]reverse phase HPLC, size-exclusion chromatography, uv-vis scanning and visual characterization. In general, both HRP and CPO tended to produce a mixture of non-polar and polar products relative to target compounds, CPO tended to produce more products, especially non-polar products, than HRP from a given target compound. PPO only formed polar products. Differences in substrate characteristics (including substituent position), pH and enzyme all had an influence on the number and type of reaction products observed. Experiments using combinations of enzymes indicated that CPO and PPO could oxidize products formed from HRP.

description: On-line social networks publish information on a high volume of real-world events almost instantly, becoming a primary source for breaking news. Some of these real-world events can end up having a very strong impact on on-line social networks. The effect of such events can be analyzed from several perspectives, one of them being the intensity and characteristics of the collective activity that it produces in the social platform. We research 5,234 real-world news events encompassing 43 million messages discussed on the Twitter microblogging service for approximately 1 year. We show empirically that exogenous news events naturally create collective patterns of bursty behavior in combination with long periods of inactivity in the network. This type of behavior agrees with other patterns previously observed in other types of natural collective phenomena, as well as in individual human communications. In addition, we propose a methodology to classify news events according to the different levels of intensity in activity that they produce. In particular, we analyze the most highly active events and observe a consistent and strikingly different collective reaction from users when they are exposed to such events. This reaction is independent of an event's reach and scope. We further observe that extremely high-activity events have characteristics that are quite distinguishable at the beginning stages of their outbreak. This allows us to predict with high precision, the top 8% of events that will have the most impact in the social network by just using the first 5% of the information of an event's lifetime evolution. This strongly implies that high-activity events are naturally prioritized collectively by the social network, engaging users early on, way before they are brought to the mainstream audience.

An Investigation of Factors Affecting the Development of an Empirical-Conceptual Model for Estimating Spray Paint Exposure in a Cross Draft Spray Booth
Creators: name: Dunn, Kevin H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: An empirical-conceptual modeling approach was developed by Carlton for estimating worker exposure to air contaminants during high pressure conventional air atomization spray painting. McKernan and Gatano sought to extend this model to the case of high volume, low pressure (HVLP) spray application technology. Significant differences between the Carlton and Gatano/McKernan model were established. This research used a similar experimental methodology as Carlton and Gatano/McKernan to investigate the nature of these differences and to evaluate the sensitivity of the HVLP model to variations in test setup and sampling methodologies. A series of experiments using a mannequin, flat plate, and an HVLP spray application system were performed in a 25ft(squared) simulated cross draft spray booth. Spray gun hand orientation and lapel sampling location resulted in significant differences in measured breathing zonecconcentrations at similar test conditions. Minimal effects however were attributed to excessive wind tunnel blockage.

description: In this paper we analyze in detail a rarely discussed question of gravity wave production from evaporating primordial black holes. These black holes emit gravitons which are, at classical level, registered as gravity waves. We use the latest constraints on their abundance, and calculate the power emitted in gravitons at the time of their evaporation. We then solve the coupled system of equations that gives us the evolution of the frequency and amplitude of gravity waves during the expansion of the universe. The spectrum of gravitational waves that can be detected today depends on multiple factors: fraction of the total energy density which was occupied by primordial black holes, the epoch in which they were formed, and quantities like their mass and angular momentum. We conclude that very small primordial black holes which evaporate before the big-bang nucleosynthesis emit gravitons whose spectral energy fraction today can be as large as $10^{-7.5}$. On the other hand, those which are massive enough so that they still exist now can yield a signal as high as $10^{-6.5}$. However, typical frequencies of the gravity waves from primordial black holes are still too high to be observed with the current and near future gravity wave observations.

description: An important, yet under-explored area of interpretation bias research concerns the examination of potential physiological markers of this bias. Developing a better understanding of the physiological processes that underpin interpretation biases will extend current theoretical frameworks underlying interpretation bias, as well as optimising the efficacy of cognitive bias modification for interpretation (CBM-I) interventions aimed at improving symptoms of emotional disorders. To this end, systematic searches will be conducted across the Web of Science, PsycInfo and Pubmed databases to identify physiological markers of interpretation bias. In addition, grey literature database searches will be conducted to compliment peer-reviewed research and to counter publication bias. Eligible studies will be assessed using a quality assessment tool adapted from the Quality Checklist for Healthcare Intervention Studies. The respective theoretical and practical implications of the research will be discussed, followed by recommendations for future research.

description: We introduce an $n$-species totally asymmetric zero range process ($n$-TAZRP) on one-dimensional periodic lattice with $L$ sites. It is a continuous time Markov process in which $n$ species of particles hop to the adjacent site only in one direction under the condition that smaller species ones have the priority to do so. Also introduced is an $n$-line process, a companion stochastic system having the uniform steady state from which the $n$-TAZRP is derived as the image by a certain projection $π$. We construct the $π$ by a combinatorial $R$ of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\hat{sl}_L)$ and establish a matrix product formula of the steady state probability of the $n$-TAZRP in terms of corner transfer matrices of a $q=0$-oscillator valued vertex model. These results parallel the recent reformulation of the $n$-species totally asymmetric simple exclusion process ($n$-TASEP) by the authors, demonstrating that $n$-TAZRP and $n$-TASEP are the canonical sister models associated with the symmetric and the antisymmetric tensor representations of $U_q(\hat{sl}_L)$ at $q=0$, respectively.

description: Measurements of normalized differential cross-sections of top-quark pair production are presented as a function of the top-quark, $t\bar{t}$ system and event-level kinematic observables in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV}. The observables have been chosen to emphasize the $t\bar{t}$ production process and to be sensitive to effects of initial- and final-state radiation, to the different parton distribution functions, and to non-resonant processes and higher-order corrections. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, recorded in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Events are selected in the lepton+jets channel, requiring exactly one charged lepton and at least four jets with at least two of the jets tagged as originating from a $b$-quark. The measured spectra are corrected for detector effects and are compared to several Monte Carlo simulations. The results are in fair agreement with the predictions over a wide kinematic range. Nevertheless, most generators predict a harder top-quark transverse momentum distribution at high values than what is observed in the data. Predictions beyond NLO accuracy improve the agreement with data at high top-quark transverse momenta. Using the current settings and parton distribution functions, the rapidity distributions are not well modelled by any generator under consideration. However, the level of agreement is improved when more recent sets of parton distribution functions are used.

Evaluation of a Human 3-Dimensional Skin Tissue Reconstruct As a Model to Screen for Xenobiotic Toxicity

description: An accurate, reproducible, and affordable means to screen the increasing number of xenobiotics for toxic effects to the skin is imperative for accurate assessment of potential health risk. My goal was to investigate the effects of naphthalene in two three-dimensional (3D) human skin reconstruct models, a commercially available MatTek, EFT-400 model and our in-house grown JCB-110 model. These two reconstruct models were exposed to 1,250, 6,250, 12,500, or 31,250 nmol of naphthalene on exposure days 1, 3, and 5. Naphthalene and its metabolites were measured in tissue culture media using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure photoionization source. Naphthyl-keratin adducts were observed by immunohistochemistry using antibodies specific to 1-naphthyl and 2-napthyl modified keratin-1 and keratin-10 proteins. The results provide evidence that naphthalene was metabolized and sequestered within the epidermis and that penetration of naphthalene through the reconstructs was negligible. The JCB-110 reconstructs were cultured to contain melanocytes in addition to keratinocytes and fibroblasts while the EFT-400 only contained keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The addition of melanocytes in the JCB-110 model provide a more physiologically relevant model. The successful culturing of the reconstructs demonstrates the ability to produce a test system that is suitable for the screening of xenobiotics. This research will provide a means forward to evaluate and develop 3D human skin reconstruct models that are suitable for high-throughput screening of dermally administered xenobiotics.

description: To understand, predict, and control complex networked systems, a prerequisite is to reconstruct the network structure from observable data. Despite recent progress in network reconstruction, binary-state dynamics that are ubiquitous in nature, technology and society still present an outstanding challenge in this field. Here we offer a framework for reconstructing complex networks with binary-state dynamics by developing a universal data-based linearization approach that is applicable to systems with linear, nonlinear, discontinuous, or stochastic dynamics governed by monotonous functions. The linearization procedure enables us to convert the network reconstruction into a sparse signal reconstruction problem that can be resolved through convex optimization. We demonstrate generally high reconstruction accuracy for a number of complex networks associated with distinct binary-state dynamics from using binary data contaminated by noise and missing data. Our framework is completely data driven, efficient and robust, and does not require any a priori knowledge about the detailed dynamical process on the network. The framework represents a general paradigm for reconstructing, understanding, and exploiting complex networked systems with binary-state dynamics.

An Investigation into the sources of Water Quality Impairment in a Small Developed Watershed
Creators: name: Marquis, Kraig D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: The investigation examined the chemical water quality in Meeting of the Waters Creek, a small stream that predominantly drains the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. Physical and chemical parameters were monitored for both dry weather and storm event conditions in order to determine the impacts of point and nonpoint sources of pollution. Point sources of domestic wastewater, spills, and unidentified inputs were detected throughout the course of the study. The corrective measures implemented, both structural repairs to leaking sewer lines and policy changes, have since improved the baseline chemical water quality of the creek. No corrective measures, however, were employed to mitigate the hydrologic or pollutant loading effects of stormwater runoff. Therefore, the creek continues to be impacted by storm event related stream bank scour, sediment inputs, and elevated pollutant concentrations and loads. These results suggest that the biological integrity of the creek remains impaired, and that little if any improvement in EPT taxa richness or abundance has been achieved.
A Discrete Stochastic Formulation for Reversible Bimolecular Reactions via Diffusion Encounter

description: The classical models for irreversible diffusion-influenced reactions can be derived by introducing absorbing boundary conditions to over-damped continuous Brownian motion (BM) theory. As there is a clear corresponding stochastic process, the mathematical description takes both Kolmogorov forward equation for the evolution of the probability distribution function and the stochastic sample trajectories. This dual description is a fundamental characteristic of stochastic processes and allows simple particle based simulations to accurately match the expected statistical behavior. However, in the traditional theory using the back-reaction boundary condition to model reversible reactions with geminate recombinations, several subtleties arise: it is unclear what the underlying stochastic process is, which causes complications in producing accurate simulations; and it is non-trivial how to perform an appropriate discretization for numerical computations. In this work, we derive a discrete stochastic model that recovers the classical models and their boundary conditions in the continuous limit. In the case of reversible reactions, we recover the back-reaction boundary condition, unifying the back-reaction approach with those of current simulation packages. Furthermore, all the complications encountered in the continuous models become trivial in the discrete model. Our formulation brings to attention the question: With computations in mind, can we develop a discrete reaction kinetics model that is more fundamental than its continuous counterpart?
