description: We present an embedding scheme for periodic systems that facilitates the treatment of the physically important part (here the unit cell) with advanced electronic-structure methods, that are computationally too expensive for periodic systems. The rest of the periodic system is treated with computationally less demanding approaches, e.g., Kohn-Sham density-functional theory, in a self- consistent manner. Our scheme is based on the concept of dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) formulated in terms of Green functions. In contrast to the original DMFT formulation for correlated model Hamiltonians, we here consider the unit cell as local embedded cluster in a first-principles way, that includes all electronic degrees of freedom. Our real-space dynamical mean-field embedding (RDMFE) scheme features two nested Dyson equations, one for the embedded cluster and another for the periodic surrounding. The total energy is computed from the resulting Green functions. The performance of our scheme is demonstrated by treating the embedded region with hybrid functionals and many-body perturbation theory in the GW approach for simple bulk systems. The total energy and the density of states converge rapidly with respect to the computational parameters and approach their bulk limit with increasing cluster (i.e., unit cell) size.

description: We calculate the annihilation decay rates of the $^3D_2(2^{--})$ and $^3D_3(3^{--})$ charmonia and bottomonia by using the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method. The wave functions of states with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=2^{--}$ and $3^{--}$ are constructed. By solving the corresponding instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equations, we obtain the mass spectra and wave functions of the quarkonia. The annihilation amplitude is written within Mandelstam formalism and the relativistic corrections are taken into account properly. This is important, especially for high excited states, since their relativistic corrections are large. The results for the $3g$ channel are as follows: $Γ_{^3D_2(c\bar c)\rightarrow ggg} = 9.24$ keV, $Γ_{^3D_3(c\bar c)\rightarrow ggg}=25.0$ keV, $Γ_{^3D_2(b\bar b)\rightarrow ggg}= 1.87$ keV, and $Γ_{^3D_3(b\bar b)\rightarrow ggg}= 0.815$ keV.

description: Cosmic-ray (CR) physics has been a prolific field of research for over a century. The open problems related to CR acceleration, transport and modulation are deeply connected with the indirect searches for particle dark matter (DM). In particular, the high-quality gamma-ray data released by Fermi-LAT are under the spotlight in the scientific community because of a recent claim about a inner Galaxy anomaly: The necessity to disentangle the astrophysical emission due to CR interactions from a possible DM signal is therefore compelling and requires a deep knowledge of several non-trivial aspects regarding CR physics. I review all these connections in this contribution. In the first part, I present a detailed overview on recent results regarding modeling of cosmic-ray (CR) production and propagation: I focus on the necessity to go beyond the standard and simplified picture of uniform and homogeneous diffusion, showing that gamma-ray data point towards different transport regimes in different regions of the Galaxy; I sketch the impact of large-scale structure on CR observables, and -- concerning the interaction with the Heliosphere -- I mention the necessity to consider a charge-dependent modulation scenario. In the second part, all these aspects are linked to the DM problem. I analyze the claim of a inner Galaxy excess and discuss the impact of the non-trivial aspects presented in the first part on our understanding of this anomaly.

description: State-of-the-art coronagraphs employed on extreme adaptive optics enabled instruments, are constantly improving the contrast detection limit for companions at ever closer separations to the host star. In order to constrain their properties and ultimately compositions, it is important to precisely determine orbital parameters and contrasts with respect to the stars they orbit. This can be difficult in the post coronagraphic image plane, as by definition the central star has been occulted by the coronagraph. We demonstrate the flexibility of utilizing the deformable mirror in the adaptive optics system in SCExAO to generate a field of speckles for the purposes of calibration. Speckles can be placed up to $22.5~λ/D$ from the star, with any position angle, brightness and abundance required. Most importantly, we show that a fast modulation of the added speckle phase, between $0$ and $π$, during a long science integration renders these speckles effectively incoherent with the underlying halo. We quantitatively show for the first time that this incoherence in turn, increases the robustness and stability of the adaptive speckles which will improve the precision of astrometric and photometric calibration procedures. This technique will be valuable for high-contrast imaging observations with imagers and integral field spectrographs alike.

Biological Threats: A Practical Assessment for the Occupational Health Department

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Bioterrorism is a term that every person has had to come to grips with since the events of September 11, 2001. Industry has also had to take a hard look at how to be prepared for this new threat. The occupational and environmental health nurse (OEHN) has a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between the concerns of industry ~nd the community. The OEHN must have an in-depth knowledge of the top five biological agents that may be used in a terrorist attack and an explicit understanding of the occupational and environmental health nurse's roles and responsibilities. Beginning in January 2003, an assessment tool was developed to assess a large semiconductor company's occupational health department's preparedness in three major geographical regions. This tool, using the System's Theory (Rogers, 1994), thoroughly assessed the factors influencing the occupational health department. The results are the first step in understanding where improvements are needed so industry can be better prepared in the event of a bioterrorist attack.

description: Depression continues to serve as a clinical source of morbidity and mortality nationwide. Although there has been minimal data collected to suggest that this disease affects individuals disproportionately across races, it is becoming increasingly evident that a disparate phenomena exists in regards to treatment, access to care, and diagnosis among marginalized populations. African American females are a unique subset of this marginalized population as barriers to care exceed superficial realities such as transportation and socioeconomic status and extend to less transparent impediments shaped by spirituality, stigma, and racism. This paper will serve to analyze the obstacles that lead to disparate depression management among African American Females and will offer an alternate method of intervention via the black church. This paper will include a Program Plan to define and describe Project FRAMME as well as a two-dimensional literature review to examine past interventions modeled using the black church and an analysis of the use of Mental Health services mediated by the church.

description: Autonomous Finance (AF) protocols utilize block chain technology to replicate traditional financial functions such as banking, investing, and trading, thereby fostering an ecosystem that supports the growth of decentralized financial services. These protocols serve as innovative financial instruments that can help reduce portfolio risk—an increasingly valuable feature in today’s volatile economic environment. A subset of these protocols employs delta-neutral strategies, offering automated and relatively low-risk opportunities for yield generation while minimizing exposure to market fluctuations. Unlike conventional financial systems, where valuation methods are well-established, Autonomous Finance lacks standardized frameworks for assessing protocol value. This research aims to explore and quantify the key performance indicators that influence the valuation of AF protocols, applying a range of empirical and analytical techniques. The study focuses on metrics such as total value locked (TVL), protocol revenue, total revenue, gross merchandise volume (GMV), and inflation factors to evaluate their impact on valuation. Data was gathered from 30 representative protocols across three major categories—decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, and asset management protocols. Findings indicate that while performance metrics do influence valuations, the strength and nature of these relationships vary significantly depending on the variable and protocol type.

description: We show that cold Rydberg gases enable an efficient six-wave mixing process where terahertz or microwave fields are coherently converted into optical fields and vice versa. This process is made possible by the long lifetime of Rydberg states, the strong coupling of millimeter waves to Rydberg transitions and by a quantum interference effect related to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Our frequency conversion scheme applies to a broad spectrum of millimeter waves due to the abundance of transitions within the Rydberg manifold, and we discuss two possible implementations based on focussed terahertz beams and millimeter wave fields confined by a waveguide, respectively. We analyse a realistic example for the interconversion of terahertz and optical fields in rubidium atoms and find that the conversion efficiency can in principle exceed 90\%.

description: The generalized quantum master equation provides a powerful tool to describe the dynamics in quantum impurity models driven away from equilibrium. Two complementary approaches, one based on Nakajima--Zwanzig--Mori time-convolution (TC) and the other on the Tokuyama--Mori time-convolutionless (TCL) formulations provide a starting point to describe the time-evolution of the reduced density matrix. A key in both approaches is to obtain the so called "memory kernel" or "generator", going beyond second or fourth order perturbation techniques. While numerically converged techniques are available for the TC memory kernel, the canonical approach to obtain the TCL generator is based on inverting a super-operator in the \emph{full} Hilbert space, which is difficult to perform and thus, all applications of the TCL approach rely on a perturbative scheme of some sort. Here, the TCL generator is expressed using a reduced system propagator which can be obtained from system observables alone and requires the calculation of super-operators and their inverse in the \emph{reduced }Hilbert space rather than the full one. This makes the formulation amenable to quantum impurity solvers or to diagrammatic techniques, such as the nonequilibrium Green's function. We implement the TCL approach for the resonant level model driven away from equilibrium and compare the time scales for the decay of the generator with that of the memory kernel in the TC approach. Furthermore, the effects of temperature, source-drain bias, and gate potential on the TCL/TC generators are discussed.

Patient-Provider Ethnic Concordance and Patient Satisfaction: An Updated Review
Creators: name: Okeagu, Eze
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Over the last decade, patient's health care experience has become a valuable metric. Studies suggest that relative to white patients, non-white patients tend to be less satisfied with their health care experience. Researchers have studied patient-provider ethnic concordance as a means to address these racial differences in patient satisfaction. A systematic review was performed to determine if patient-provider ethnic concordance is associated with greater patient satisfaction. The evidence is inconclusive because the literature has various methodological limitations. As a result, the body of evidence's strength is poor. Future studies will require validated patient satisfaction measurement tools and comprehensive statistical analyses to clarify the association between patient-provider ethnic concordance and patient satisfaction.

description: We report the excitation energy dependence of specific heat (\cv) of hadronic matter at freeze-out in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider energies by analyzing the published data on event-by-event mean transverse momentum (\meanpt) distributions. The \meanpt~distributions in finite \pt~ranges are converted to distributions of effective temperatures, and dynamical fluctuations in temperature are extracted by subtracting widths of the corresponding mixed event distributions. The heat capacity per particle at the kinetic freeze-out surface is presented as a function of collision energy, which shows a sharp rise in \cv~below \sNN~=~62.4~GeV. We employ the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model to estimate \cv~at the chemical and kinetic freeze-out surfaces. The experimental results are compared to the HRG and other theoretical model calculations. HRG results show good agreement with data. Model predictions for \cv~at the Large Hadron Collider energy are presented.

Clinical Considerations in Premenopausal Osteoporosis
Creators: name: Gourlay, Margaret, MD
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: Osteoporosis can occur at any age. In premenopausal osteoporosis, full achievement of peak bone mass may be curtailed, and accelerated bone loss may occur in young adulthood. Premenopausal osteoporosis may be associated with chronic glucocorticoid therapy, prolonged amenorrhea, anorexia nervosa, rheumatoid arthritis, and diseases that affect calcium and vitamin D metabolism. Lesser degrees of bone loss may be associated with common conditions such as dieting, low calcium intake, smoking, and oligomenorrhea. Due to a paucity of prospective studies on screening and treatment in younger age groups, few practice recommendations exist to guide management of osteoporosis in young adults. We review the most important clinical concerns in premenopausal osteoporosis, including measurement of bone mass, normal bone accrual, risk factors for premature bone loss, clinical outcomes and management issues. We emphasize clinically relevant information for primary care physicians who are usually the first to encounter premenopausal patients with risk factors for early bone loss.

Structural Inequality and Its Impact on Health: An evaluation of the structural and systemic forces that lead to unequal health outcomes in pediatric type II diabetes.
Creators: name: Parker, Donna L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: In our country, the richest in the world, a significant share of our population does not have access to the resources they need to maintain healthy lives. Health researchers have focused on addressing the impact of the social processes that determine an individual‘s health status. It is now time to look at the causes of the inequality. The escalating prevalence of diabetes in school-aged children and its consequences is a serious and unresolved challenge. When I began my examination of the issue, I focused on individual risk factors and was convinced that if we teach prevention, the pediatric diabetes rate would come down. As I have learned, prevention and treatment have had limited success to date, in part because interventions have focused on isolated factors and adopted a one size fits all approach. My examination took a turn and I became convinced that risk factors must be addressed within a complex, individualized (not generalized) system of biological, social and environmental factors. The answer was to address not only individual risk factors but social determinants of health. However, my study of health disparities has challenged me to think even larger. Beyond the basic conceptual model of how diabetes and other preventable diseases show up with more prevalence in some racial/ethnic groups, I have been forced to look at "why". And if we know how to intervene conceptually, why is it not working? Why are rates continuing to escalate upward? And finally how have inequalities in health, specifically childhood diabetes, come to be and how might we more comprehensively address them? My belief is that we cannot have any real or lasting change in devastating health inequality without addressing the system as a whole with all its components. Health disparities are rooted in the historical, social, economic, and political infrastructure of our daily lives. I have presented a framework, grounded in theory, to address health inequality at its core.
