Unexpected Vibrations in Unexpected Places: Making New, Old Music in the McCarroll Family
Creators: name: Decosimo, Joseph Edward
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: This thesis examines the ways that commercially recorded music from the late 1920s and the meanings attached to the recordings by listeners shape contemporary music making in the McCarroll family of East Tennessee. I argue that processes of circulation, resonance, and feedback help explicate some of the changes in the McCarroll family's sound over the last dozen or so years, paying careful attention to the family's shift towards consciously performing their music as heritage. I trace fiddler Jimmy McCarroll and the Roane County Ramblers' 1928 and 1929 Columbia recordings as they have circulated globally among listeners through 78rpm records, anthologies, and reissues, attending to the ways in which releases have resonated with listeners. I conclude by examining the ways that Tom McCarroll and his daughter Tammie McCarroll-Burroughs' music has transformed into heritage tailored for audiences and venues dedicated to traditional music.

Regular black holes from higher-derivative effective delta sources

description: Certain approaches to quantum gravity and classical modified gravity theories result in effective field equations in which the original source is substituted by an effective one. In these cases, the occurrence of regular spacetime configurations may be related to the regularity of the effective source, regardless of the specific mechanism behind the regularization. In this chapter, we make an introduction to the effective source formalism applied to higher-derivative gravity. The results presented here, however, can be easily transposed to other frameworks that use similar sources. The generality obtained is also because we consider a general higher-derivative gravity model instead of restricting the analysis to some specific theories. In the first part, we discuss the model in the Newtonian limit, which offers a natural context for introducing effective sources. We show how the regularity properties of the effective sources depend on the behavior of the action's form factor in the ultraviolet regime, which leads to results valid for large families of models (or for families of modified delta sources). Subsequently, we use the general results on the effective sources to construct regular black hole metrics. One of our concerns is the higher-order regularity of the solutions, i.e., the possibility that not only the invariants built with curvature tensors but also the ones with covariant derivatives are regular. In this regard, we present some theorems relating the regularity of sets of curvature-derivative invariants with the regularity properties of the effective sources.

Pilot study: teaching writing strategies to students with learning disabilities
Creators: name: Du Bose, Howard
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This study is predicated on the need for a strategy to better teach writing to high school students with learning disabilities. Most schools of education do a good job of showing new teachers how to teach writing to non-disabled students, but sometimes do not teach specific strategies for teaching writing to students with learning disabilities. This paper first examines several different strategies designed to teach writing to students with learning disabilities, then picks a strategy developed by researchers at the University of Kansas and examines how well this strategy works with learning disabled students in a real world public high school resource class. Specifically, this researcher attempts to replicate the original research findings.

description: As the evolutionary link between the radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs) and the low mass X-ray binaries or intermediate mass X-ray binaries, the millisecond X-ray pulsars (MSXPs) are important objects in testing theories of pulsar formation and evolution. In general, neutron stars in MSXPs can form via core collapse supernova (CC channel) of massive stars or accretion induced collapse (AIC channel) of an accreting ONeMg WD whose mass reaches the Chandrasekhar limit. Here, in addition to CC and AIC channels we also consider another channel, i.e., evolution induced collapse (EIC channel) of a helium star with mass between $1.4$ and $2.5 M_{\odot}$. Using a population synthesis code, we have studied MSXPs arising from three different evolutionary channels. We find that the Galactic birthrates of transient MSXPs and persistent MSXPs are about 0.7---$1.4\times 10^{-4}$ yr$^{-1}$. Our population synthesis calculations have shown that about 50\%---90\% of the MSXPs have undergone CC channel, about 10\%---40\% of them have undergone EIC channel, and the MSXPs via AIC channel are the least.

description: Gewalt und Aggression, ausgeübt von Kindern und Jugendlichen, werden in Deutschland als immer größeres Problem erlebt. Einen Schwerpunkt dieses Dilemmas bildet der Sozialraum Schule. Dabei gibt es durchaus eine Menge Konzepte, die vorgeben, gewaltpräventive Wirkung zu entfalten. Allein an wissenschaftlichen Analysen fehlt es, die diese Resultate bestätigen können. „Kinder lösen Konflikte selbst!“ ist ein Präventionsprogramm, welches vom Kindergarten bis zur Sekundarstufe I eingesetzt werden kann und mit vorliegender Studie ausführlich auf seine Wirkungen evaluiert wurde. Der Autor gibt Antworten, warum ein Präventionsprogramm möglichst schon in der frühkindlichen Entwicklung einsetzen sollte und wie sich eine kontinuierliche und langfristige Umsetzung im Schulklima bemerkbar macht. An vielen praktischen Beispielen wird der Zusammenhang zwischen der Entwicklung von Sozialkompetenzen und den Fähigkeiten, Konflikte mit friedlichen Mitteln zu lösen, dargestellt. Der Autor schlägt dabei den Bogen von der Ursachenforschung, über die systematische Darstellung der Präventionsmethoden, bis hin zur konkreten Evaluation. Er geht nicht nur auf die sozialen Wirkungen des Programms ein, sondern gibt auch Antworten zur zeitlichen, finanziellen und personellen Umsetzbarkeit, die besonders für den Praxiseinsatz von gewichtiger Relevanz sind.

How Magnetic Erosion Affects the Drag-Based Kinematics of Fast Coronal Mass Ejections

description: In order to advance our understanding of the dynamic interactions between coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and the magnetized solar wind, we investigate the impact of magnetic erosion on the well-known aerodynamic drag force acting on CMEs traveling faster than the ambient solar wind. In particular, we start by generating empirical relationships for the basic physical parameters of CMEs that conserve their mass and magnetic flux. Furthermore, we examine the impact of the virtual mass on the equation of motion by studying a variable-mass system. We next implement magnetic reconnection into CME propagation, which erodes part of the CME magnetic flux and outer-shell mass, on the drag acting on CMEs, and we determine its impact on their time and speed of arrival at 1 AU. Depending on the strength of the magnetic erosion, the leading edge of the magnetic structure can reach near-Earth space up to $\approx$ three hours later, compared to the non-eroded case. Therefore, magnetic erosion may have a significant impact on the propagation of fast CMEs and on predictions of their arrivals at 1 AU. Finally, the modeling indicates that eroded CMEs may experience a significant mass decrease. Since such a decrease is not observed in the corona, the initiation distance of erosion may lie beyond the field-of-view of coronagraphs (i.e. 30 $\mathrm{R_{\odot}}$).

description: Conventional approaches to statistical inference preclude structures that facilitate incorporation of supplemental information acquired from similar circumstances. For example, the analysis of data obtained using perfusion computed tomography to characterize functional imaging biomarkers in cancerous regions of the liver can benefit from partially informative data collected concurrently in noncancerous regions. This paper presents a hierarchical model structure that leverages all available information about a curve, using penalized splines, while accommodating important between-source features. Our proposed methods flexibly borrow strength from the supplemental data to a degree that reflects the commensurability of the supplemental curve with the primary curve. We investigate our method's properties for nonparametric regression via simulation, and apply it to a set of liver cancer data. We also apply our method for a semiparametric hazard model to data from a clinical trial that compares time to disease progression for three colorectal cancer treatments, while supplementing inference with information from a previous trial that tested the current standard of care.

description: Recently a novel surface pair-density-wave (PDW) superconducting state has been discovered in Refs. [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{122}, 165302 (2019)] and Phys. Rev. B \textbf{101}, 054506 (2020)], which may go through a distinct multiple phase transition (MPT) when the superconductivity fades away from bulk to the boundary (e.g. edges and corners). Based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations for the attractive tight-binding Hubbard modal in a one-dimensional chain, we demonstrate that the surface PDW state has a non-gapless quasiparticle spectrum, which is contrary to the conventional surface superconducting state. Moreover, we find that the MPT is associated with a zero-bias fast oscillating pattern in the LDOS near the surface. Our findings provide a potential experimental clue to identify the surface PDW state.

description: SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19 / Coronavirus) virus, which emerged for the first time in December 2019 and declared as a pandemic by WHO in March 2020, has spread rapidly all over the world and brought many changes in health care as well as in daily life. (WHO, 2021; 2020). The changes caused by this infectious disease, which is included in the scope of disasters and emergencies, also have effects on breastfeeding (Zanardo, Tortord, Guerrini et al., 2021; Lubbe, Botha, Niela-Vilen et al, 2020). With the quarantine practices implemented within the scope of the measures taken with the pandemic, the disruption of health services, the dilution of other services due to the emphasis on pandemic services, therefore, women in the postpartum period are discharged earlier from the hospital, breastfeeding training cannot be carried out effectively and women's support mechanisms are disrupted. It is among the factors affecting breastfeeding rates (Chmielewska, Barratt, Townsend et al, 2021; Zanardo, Tortord, Guerrini et al., 2021). Although it is a very important issue how breastfeeding rates are affected as well as the factors that may affect breastfeeding due to Covid-19, it is an uncertain issue how these rates will affect women's and child health in the future (Rollins, Minckas, Jehan et al., 2021; Hoang, Cashin, Gribble. et al, 2020). Therefore, breastfeeding rates should be examined. The purpose of this review is to examine how Covid-19 affects breastfeeding rates in line with the current literature.

Riding the middle ground: adolescent girl bullying and the pressure to be "just enough"

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with 20 college undergraduate women who talked about a past experience of being bullied by another girl(s) demonstrate how adolescent girl bullying may serve to reinforce norms of femininity and race. Participants reported one overarching theme of the importance of being "just enough. " This primary theme was elaborated by sub-themes of appearance, sexual development, and intelligence. Though many of the black and white women who were interviewed reported bullying as enforcing similar norms, a second theme specific to the black respondents emerged. This theme had to do with the importance of responding directly and usually verbally to their attackers. This study highlights the importance of beginning to understand the ways in which adolescent girl bullying may enact disciplinary power regarding gender and race norms.

Colonial Weaving Schools and the New 'Middleman': United Provinces, India, 1905-1925
Creators: name: Hempson, Leslie
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: At the beginning of the twentieth century, colonial officials stationed in the United Provinces, India established a series of weaving schools. Founded as a means of instructing weavers in `modern' production techniques, weaving schools performed a variety of other functions as well, chief among them the supply of essential inputs like loom accessories and yarn to weavers and the consumption of weavers' finished goods. Although colonial officials held the Indian middleman responsible for weavers' economic struggles, they did not abandon the middleman's project altogether. On the contrary, even while vilifying the Indian merchant-moneylender, they established elaborate mechanisms for duplicating many of his functions, usually through the medium of the weaving school. The logic the British attributed to their interventions in the Indian textile industry marked them as special kinds of middlemen, however, ones who might be more appropriately labeled patrons.

description: A major challenge for cancer pathologists is to determine whether a new tumor in a patient with cancer is a metastasis or an independent occurrence of the disease. In recent years numerous studies have evaluated pairs of tumor specimens to examine the similarity of the somatic characteristics of the tumors and to test for clonal relatedness. As the landscape of mutation testing has evolved, a number of statistical methods for determining clonality have developed, notably for comparing losses of heterozygosity at candidate markers, and for comparing copy number profiles. Increasingly tumors are being evaluated for point mutations in panels of candidate genes using gene sequencing technologies. Comparison of the mutational profiles of pairs of tumors presents unusual methodological challenges: mutations at some loci are much more common than others; knowledge of the marginal mutation probabilities is scanty for most loci at which mutations might occur; the sample space of potential mutational profiles is vast. We examine this problem and propose a test for clonal relatedness of a pair of tumors from a single patient. Using simulations, its properties are shown to be promising. The method is illustrated using several examples from the literature.

We combine our IFU data with a subsample of galaxies from the ALFALFA HI survey crossmatched to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to study the FMR$_{\text{SFR}}$ and FMR$_{\text{HI}}$ across the stellar mass range 10$^{6.6}$ to 10$^{8.8}$ M$_\odot$, with metallicities as low as 12+log(O/H) = 7.67. We find the 1$σ$ mean scatter in the MZR to be 0.05 dex. The 1$σ$ mean scatter in the FMR$_{\text{SFR}}$ (0.02 dex) is significantly lower than that of the MZR. The FMR$_{\text{SFR}}$ is not consistent between the IFU observed galaxies and the ALFALFA/SDSS galaxies for SFRs lower than 10$^{-2.4}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$, however this could be the result of limitations of our measurements in that regime. The lowest mean scatter (0.01 dex) is found in the FMR$_{\text{HI}}$. We also find that the FMR$_{\text{HI}}$ is consistent between the IFU observed dwarf galaxies and the ALFALFA/SDSS crossmatched sample. We introduce the fundamental metallicity luminosity counterpart to the FMR, again characterized in terms of SFR (FML$_{\text{SFR}}$) and HI-gas mass (FML$_{\text{HI}}$). We find that the FML$_{\text{HI}}$ relation is consistent between the IFU observed dwarf galaxy sample and the larger ALFALFA/SDSS sample. However the 1$σ$ scatter for the FML$_{\text{HI}}$ relation is not improved over the FMR$_{\text{HI}}$ scenario. This leads us to conclude that the FMR$_{\text{HI}}$ is the best candidate for a physically motivated fundamental metallicity relation.

description: The influence of both major and minor mergers is expected to significantly affect gradients of stellar ages and metallicities in the outskirts of galaxies. Measurements of observed gradients are beginning to reach large radii in galaxies, but a theoretical framework for connecting the findings to a picture of galactic build-up is still in its infancy. We analyze stellar populations of a statistically representative sample of quiescent galaxies over a wide mass range from the Illustris simulation. We measure metallicity and age profiles in the stellar halos of quiescent Illustris galaxies ranging in stellar mass from $10^{10}$ to $10^{12} M_\odot$, accounting for observational projection and luminosity-weighting effects. We find wide variance in stellar population gradients between galaxies of similar mass, with typical gradients agreeing with observed galaxies. We show that, at fixed mass, the fraction of stars born in-situ within galaxies is correlated with the metallicity gradient in the halo, confirming that stellar halos contain unique information about the build-up and merger histories of galaxies.

description: [Context and motivation] When developing software, coordination between different organizational units is essential in order to develop a good quality product, on time and within budget. Particularly, the synchronization between requirements and verification processes is crucial in order to assure that the developed software product satisfies customer requirements. [Question/problem] Our research question is: what are the current challenges in aligning the requirements and verification processes? [Principal ideas/results] We conducted an interview study at a large software development company. This paper presents preliminary findings of these interviews that identify key challenges in aligning requirements and verification processes. [Contribution] The result of this study includes a range of challenges faced by the studied organization grouped into the categories: organization and processes, people, tools, requirements process, testing process, change management, traceability, and measurement. The findings of this study can be used by practitioners as a basis for investigating alignment in their organizations, and by scientists in developing approaches for more efficient and effective management of the alignment between requirements and verification.

description: We report on the experimental observation of bunching dynamics with temporal cavity solitons in a continuously-driven passive fibre resonator. Specifically, we excite a large number of ultrafast cavity solitons with random temporal separations, and observe in real time how the initially random sequence self-organizes into regularly-spaced aggregates. To explain our experimental observations, we develop a simple theoretical model that allows long-range acoustically-induced interactions between a large number of temporal cavity solitons to be simulated. Significantly, results from our simulations are in excellent agreement with our experimental observations, strongly suggesting that the soliton bunching dynamics arise from forward Brillouin scattering. In addition to confirming prior theoretical analyses and unveiling a new cavity soliton self-organization phenomenon, our findings elucidate the manner in which sound interacts with large ensembles of ultrafast pulses of light.

description: In the United States during the 1930s, restrictive anti-obscenity laws ensured that contraceptive information was extremely difficult to find. Arthur Taylor and Sallie Blackwell Sharp were married in 1935, and in the year before their wedding they pursued a variety of tactics in hopes of learning how to control the size of their family. Taylor and Sharp provide a valuable case study for evaluating how middle-class white Americans worked to learn about birth control and how they dealt with the formidable obstacles that stood between them and the knowledge they sought.
Shaping political orientations: testing the effect of unemployment on ideological beliefs and voting behaviour

Subjects: Industrial and employee relations

description: Using data from the European Social Survey we test whether a period of unemployment in Ireland shapes individuals’ core political ideological beliefs towards the left of the political spectrum and whether the experience of unemployment prompts people to vote for left-leaning parties. Results indicate that unemployment is linked with more leftward core political ideological beliefs and is associated with a tendency to vote for left-leaning parties. A central implication of our findings is that the sizeable increase in the extent of unemployment, as a consequence of the restrictions due to the COVID pandemic, may well have fundamental political ramifications influencing the political ideology and values of an unprecedented number of people. Right and centre-right parties in order to remain popular in recent times have tended to shift their policies leftward. The potential implications of the high unemployment during the recent pandemic may reinforce this trend.

description: One of the most important features of blockchain protocols is decentralization, as their main contribution is that they formulate a distributed ledger that will be maintained and extended without the need of a trusted party. Bitcoin has been criticized for its tendency to centralization, as very few pools control the majority of the hashing power. Pass et al. proposed FruitChain [PODC 17] and claimed that this blockchain protocol mitigates the formation of pools by reducing the variance of the rewards in the same way as mining pools, but in a fully decentralized fashion. Many follow up papers consider that the problem of centralization in Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain systems can be solved via lower rewards' variance, and that in FruitChain the formation of pools is unnecessary. Contrary to the common perception, in this work, we prove that lower variance of the rewards does not eliminate the tendency of the PoW blockchain protocols to centralization; miners have also other incentives to create large pools, and specifically to share the cost of creating the instance they need to solve the PoW puzzle. We abstract the procedures of FruitChain as oracles and assign to each of them a cost. Then, we provide a formal definition of a pool in a blockchain system, and by utilizing the notion of equilibrium with virtual payoffs (EVP) [AFT 21], we prove that there is a completely centralized EVP, where all the parties form a single pool controlled by one party called the pool leader. The pool leader is responsible for creating the instance used for the PoW procedure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that examines the construction of mining pools in the FruitChain system.

description: Double diffusive convection (DDC), which is the buoyancy driven flow with fluid density depending on two scalar components, is ubiquitous in many natural and engineering enviroments. Of great interests are scalers transfer rate and flow structures. Here we systematically investigate DDC flow between two horizontal plates, driven by an unstable salinity gradient and stabilized by a temperature gradient. Counterintuitively, when increasing the stabilizing temperature gradient, the salinity flux first increases, even though the velocity monotonically decreases, before it finally breaks down to the purely diffusive value. The enhanced salinity transport is traced back to a transition in the overall flow pattern, namely from large scale convection rolls to well-organised vertically-oriented salt fingers. We also show and explain that the unifying theory of thermal convection originally developed by Grossmann and Lohse for Rayleigh-Bénard convection can be directly applied to DDC flow for a wide range of control parameters (Lewis number and density ratio), including those which cover the common values relevant for ocean flows.
