description: We construct an explicit family of linear rank-metric codes over any field Fh that enables efficient list decoding up to a fraction ρ of errors in the rank metric with a rate of 1−ρ−ϵ, for any desired ρ∈(0,1) and ϵ>0. Previously, a Monte Carlo construction of such codes was known, but this is in fact the first explicit construction of positive rate rank-metric codes for list decoding beyond the unique decoding radius.
Our codes are subcodes of the well-known Gabidulin codes, which encode linearized polynomials of low degree via their values at a collection of linearly independent points. The subcode is picked by restricting the message polynomials to an Fh-subspace that evades the structured subspaces over an extension field Fht that arise in the linear-algebraic list decoder for Gabidulin codes due to Guruswami and Xing (STOC'13). This subspace is obtained by combining subspace designs contructed by Guruswami and Kopparty (FOCS'13) with subspace evasive varieties due to Dvir and Lovett (STOC'12).
We establish a similar result for subspace codes, which are a collection of subspaces, every pair of which have low-dimensional intersection, and which have received much attention recently in the context of network coding. We also give explicit subcodes of folded Reed-Solomon (RS) codes with small folding order that are list-decodable (in the Hamming metric) with optimal redundancy, motivated by the fact that list decoding RS codes reduces to list decoding such folded RS codes. However, as we only list decode a subcode of these codes, the Johnson radius continues to be the best known error fraction for list decoding RS codes.

description: Recently, pharmaceutical pollutants in water emerge as global concern as they give threat to human health and environment. In this study, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were used to efficiently remove antibiotics sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and analgesic acetaminophen (ACM) as pharmaceutical pollutants from water by adsorption process. GNPs; C750, C300, M15, and M5 were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller. The effects of several parameters; viz., solution pH, adsorbent amount, initial concentration and contact time were studied. The parameters were optimized by batch adsorption process and the maximum removal efficiency for both pharmaceuticals were 99%. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms model were employed, and the experimental data were best analysed with pseudo-second kinetic and Langmuir isotherm with maximum adsorption capacity (Qm) of 210.08 mg g-1 for sulfamethoxazole and 56.21 mg g-1 for acetaminophen. Regeneration study were applied using different eluents; 5% ethanol-deionized water 0.005 M NaOH and HCl. GNP C300 were able to remove most of both pollutants from environmental water samples. Molecular docking was used to simulate the adsorption mechanism of GNP C300 towards sulfamethoxazole and acetaminophen with free binding energy of -7.54 kcal mol-1 and -5.29 kcal mol-1 respectively which revealed adsorption occurred spontaneously.

description: In this article, stability estimates are given for the determination of the zeroth-order bounded perturbations of the biharmonic operator when the boundary Neumann measurements are made on the whole boundary and on slightly more than half the boundary, respectively. For the case of measurements on the whole boundary, the stability estimates are of ln-type and for the case of measurements on slightly more than half of the boundary, we derive estimates that are of ln ln-type.
Making Room for Love: A Modest Defense of Impartial Morality
Creators: name: Singh, Keshav
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: There is a prima facie tension between impartial morality, on one hand, and the kind of partiality necessary for love, on the other. In this paper, I explore this tension in light of critiques of impartial morality by Michael Stocker and Bernard Williams, and argue that their remarks show it to be a deep and difficult tension. I go on to examine two kinds of attempts to resolve this tension, and argue that they fail to reconcile impartial morality with the kind of partiality necessary for love. I then offer my own solution to the problem, according to which impartial morality can be reconciled with the right kind of partiality as long as we grant that morality is not always overriding. When we grant this, I argue, we make room for love, because we are not forced to have standing unconditional commitments to acting in accordance with impartial moral principles.

description: The purported environmental, social, psychological, and economic benefits of urban agricultural initiatives (UAIs) are context-dependent. However, little research has been done on UAIs in Asia, and to our knowledge, no research conducted in Singapore. This study investigated the benefits perceived by employees and volunteers at an UAI in Singapore, an Asian city–state, and how these benefits were achieved or impeded. A secondary aim was to examine differences in participants’ perceptions. To address these aims, in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 employees and volunteers, followed by a Q-sort of 36 interview statements delivered to the same participants. The results suggested that the UAI had environmental, social, and psychological benefits which include fostering a genuine connection with nature and facilitating pro-environmental behavioural spillover; enabling friendships and learning to communicate with diverse peoples; and increasing self-awareness and gratitude, respectively. These are facilitated through tactile involvement with nature, exposure to pro-environmental behaviours, a culture of open-mindedness that encourages social interaction and encouragement of reflection. On the other hand, the UAI’s economic impact in terms of employment and food production was impeded by its financial difficulties. While both volunteers and employees perceived the psychosocial benefits, it was employees who emphasised the UAI’s financial difficulties. These benefits and impediments and how they manifest reflect Singapore’s communitarian worldview and accompanying social norms, and demonstrate the local and global relevance of situating UAIs in context. Relevant areas of future research are suggested. (234 words)

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt das Lernen am Gemeinsamen Gegenstand und damit die integrative Didaktik im Feld der Volksschule in ihren Mittelpunkt. Mit einem Experteninterview wird Lernen am Gemeinsamen Gegenstand beleuchtet. Abgeleitet aus den Überlegungen von Müller Bösch und Schaffner Menn zu didaktischen Möglichkeiten im Unterricht für alle und dem Ansatz von Achermann und Gehrig auf dem Weg zur individualisierenden Gemeinschaftsschule entstand ein Interviewleitfaden, der vier Primarschulen im Kanton Aargau vorlegt wurde. Es sind Schulen, die sich als integrative Schulen und mit der Schulform altersdurchmischtes Lernen, die Heterogenität als Chance für ihre Schulentwicklung gewählt haben. Mit strukturierender qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse wurde das Datenmaterial ausgewertet und die Forscherfrage beantwortet: Wie wird das Lernen in Kooperation am Gemeinsamen Gegenstand in der Schulpraxis umgesetzt? Alle vier Schulen zeigen mit viel Engagement für guten Unterricht, wie sie mit dem Gemeinsamen Gegenstand umgehen. Es wird bestätigt, dass der Gemeinsame Gegenstand ein Kernstück des integrativen Unterrichts ist, dem verstärkte Sorgfalt beigemessen werden muss, damit eine Schule für alle gelingt.
PREDICTORS OF FAMILY ACCOMMODATION ACROSS FEAR-BASED DISORDERS
Creators: name: Reuman, Lillian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Fear-based disorders (FBDs) are associated with significant caregiver burden and family distress. Specifically, symptom accommodation is ubiquitous in families with relatives affected by FBDs, yet no study to date has examined potential psychological predictors of symptom accommodation across diagnoses and relatives. The current study examined psychological predictors (e.g., empathic concern) of symptom accommodation among co-residing relatives of individuals diagnosed with FBDs. Participants (n = 49) completed a series of clinical interviews via phone and an online self-report battery between November 2014 and October 2015. Study hypotheses were partially supported, as results showed that accommodation occurred to similar degrees across relatives with various relationships and FBDs. Further, empathic concern and expressed emotion emerged as marginally significant predictors of symptom accommodation. Study findings, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

description: With the goal of generating the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess, we revisit models in which the dark matter interacts with the Standard Model through the exchange of a new neutral gauge boson, Z'. We find several scenarios that can account for this signal, while respecting all existing constraints from colliders and direct detection experiments. In such models, the Z' either 1) couples axially to light quarks and is leptophobic, 2) couples dominantly to the third generation, or 3) is near resonance, m_Z' ~ 2 m_DM. We identify an example of an anomaly-free U(1)' that leads to an axial and leptophobic Z'. Many of the models presented here are within the reach of near future direct detection experiments, such as LUX and XENON1T.

description: In this work the linearity in the response of an ionization-chamber as a function of $^{99m}$Tc activity was checked as part of a calibration procedure for $^{192}$Ir activity measurements. The non-linearity was found to be caused mainly by the electrometer range switching. A model based on the hypothesis that the non-linear effect did not influence the decay constant was tested. This method allowed to correct the non-linear effect and obtain the 99mTc activity with good acuracy.

description: Quasi-monolithic interferometers play a crucial role in high-precision measurement experiments, including gravitational wave detection, inertial sensing, vibrometry, and seismology. Achieving high stability and accuracy in such interferometers requires a method for bonding optical components to a baseplate. While optical contact bonding and silicate bonding are common methods, UV adhesives offer advantages such as controlled curing and low geometrical requirements for optical components and baseplates. This paper presents a detailed construction method for a quasi-monolithic compact interferometer based on UV-adhesive bonding. We built two types of interferometers using this method: a $100\,{\rm mm} \times 100\,{\rm mm}\times 20\,{\rm mm}$ Mach-Zender homodyne interferometer with unequal arm lengths of about $100\,{\rm mm}$ for laser frequency noise monitoring, and a heterodyne interferometer as a displacement sensing head sizing $20\,{\rm mm} \times 30\,{\rm mm}\times 20\,{\rm mm}$. Our Mach-Zender interferometer achieved a phase noise level of $2\,μ{\rm rad}\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ at $1\,{\rm Hz}$ and a equivalent laser frequency noise monitoring sensitivity of about $1\,{\rm kHz}/\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ at $1\,{\rm Hz}$. The compact heterodyne interferometer sensing head showed a sensitivity level of $1\,{\rm pm}/\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ in translation and $0.2\,{\rm nrad}/\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ in two tilts above $0.4\,{\rm Hz}$. Our tests demonstrate that quasi-monolithic compact interferometers based on UV-adhesive bonding can achieve high sensitivity levels at the pico-meter and nano-radian scales.

A Biomimetic Approach toward Red Blood Cell Substitutes Based on PRINT Hydrogels
Creators: name: Chen, Kai
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: This work utilized PRINT (particle replication in non-wetting templates) technology to fabricate extremely soft, biologically inspired hydrogel particles that mimicked the size, shape and modulus of red blood cells (RBCs). Hemoglobin, the oxygen carrying protein in RBCs, was conjugated into these microparticles without adverse effect on the structure and function of the protein. A prior modification on surface of PRINT particles followed by hemoglobin conjugation enabled the protein-laden microparticles to circulate in blood. The results of this study can potentially lead to a RBC substitute for blood transfusion without causing vasoconstriction, a major hurdle often seen in other hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs). Vasoconstriction is believed to be inversely proportional to the size of the HBOC. Microparticles with size around or larger than 1 μm may be appropriate as hemoglobin carriers to minimize vasoconstriction, yet they generally do not circulate well in blood vessels due to filtration by small capillaries. Our previous study demonstrated that microparticles with a diameter of 6 μm could still circulate a long time in blood when they were made to be deformable enough. Retaining the same low modulus, hydrogel particles with diameters ranging from 0.8 to 8.9 μm were studied on their pharmacokinetics and biodistribution in mice. The particles mimicking size of RBCs demonstrated longer circulation times, hence were used as carriers for hemoglobin in this study. Bovine hemoglobin could be conjugated to the RBC mimicking particles (RBCMs) through reaction between carboxyl groups in the particles and amine groups on hemoglobin. However, hemoglobin distributed on the surface of the RBCMs made them tend to aggregate in blood and more recognizable by macrophages, resulting in rapid removal from circulation. A strategy was used to synthesize blank RBCMs with such an asymmetric distribution of carboxyl groups that most of them were in the interior with limited exposure on the exterior. After conjugation, hemoglobin could be predominantly confined in the interior of the particles with a neutral surface charge. These particles could circulate in blood with much lower accumulation in the lung than the counterparts with hemoglobin on their surface.

Semi-implicit Krylov deferred correction algorithms, applications, and parallelization
Creators: name: Bu, Sunyoung
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: In this dissertation, we introduce several strategies to improve the efficiency of the Krylov deferred correction (KDC) methods for special structured ordinary and partial differential equations with algebraic constraints. We first study the semi-implicit KDC (SI-KDC) technique which splits stiff differential equation systems into different components and applies different low-order time marching schemes to these components. Compared with the fully implicit KDC (FI-KDC) method, our analysis and preliminary numerical results for differential algebraic equations show that the SI-KDC schemes are more efficient due to the reduced number of operations in each spectral deferred correction (SDC) iteration. Next, we apply the SI-KDC scheme to simulate a two-scale model describing the mass transfer processes in drinking water treatment applications, in which some set of chemical species move from one distinct phase to a second distinct phase. We also present an improved effective model to further advance the efficiency of the multiscale modeling. Finally, we investigate the parareal method to parallelize the KDC techniques, and present some preliminary numerical results to show its potential in large scale simulations.

description: The notion of creativity, as opposed to related concepts such as beauty or interestingness, has not been studied from the perspective of automatic analysis of multimedia content. Meanwhile, short online videos shared on social media platforms, or micro-videos, have arisen as a new medium for creative expression. In this paper we study creative micro-videos in an effort to understand the features that make a video creative, and to address the problem of automatic detection of creative content. Defining creative videos as those that are novel and have aesthetic value, we conduct a crowdsourcing experiment to create a dataset of over 3,800 micro-videos labelled as creative and non-creative. We propose a set of computational features that we map to the components of our definition of creativity, and conduct an analysis to determine which of these features correlate most with creative video. Finally, we evaluate a supervised approach to automatically detect creative video, with promising results, showing that it is necessary to model both aesthetic value and novelty to achieve optimal classification accuracy.

description: This article examines agriculture and sustainability in Mexico with specific focus on pineapple producing communities. Because this is an internationally healthy market and because Mexico has increased its pineapple production in recent years, it can be considered a representative case in which to study the impact of agricultural policies on local sustainable development. Moreover, during the last four decades, Veracruz has led Mexican states in pineapple production and extension, with three municipalities as the foremost producers, which has consequently, impacted their ecosystems. This article documents land cover, economic, and social transformations in these municipalities. First, it shows how extension of this crop has made pineapple the dominant land cover in the region. Second, the article illustrates how parallel markets exist between export-oriented large producers and smaller ones who sell locally. Third, the article documents the increase in social marginalisation in these communities even though increased pineapple production has generated more overall wealth. These trends are then explained through a normative coherence for development analysis of Mexico's agricultural programmes and their focus on increasing productivity.

description: Im Rahmen dieser empirischen Untersuchung halten Jugendliche, welche ein Brückenangebot besuchen, ihren persönlichen „Lifestyle“ anhand vorgegebener Kategorien mit der Handykamera fest und erstellen in einem weiteren Schritt subjektive Ranglisten aus einer Auswahl dieser Fotos.
 Die ästhetischen Präferenzen auf verschiedenen Dimensionen jugendlichen Lebensstils werden anschliessend in einen statistischen Zusammenhang mit einem Milieu-Indikator gebracht, um spezifische „Lifestyles“ vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher Ressourceanlagen zu interpretieren. Die Lehren der theoretischen und empirischen Forschungsliteratur von Pierre Bourdieu, mit Gewichtung auf das Habitus-Konzept, dienen dabei als Grundlage für die Analysen.
 Das übergeordnete Ziel dieser Forschung stellt eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema der Identität von bildungsbenachteiligten Jugendlichen dar, um ein pädagogisches Angebot von persönlichen Zugängen und Förderungen zu ermöglichen. Vor dem Hintergrund bildungssoziologischer Konzepte Bourdieus können individuelle Inszenierungen leichter interpretiert und verstanden werden - ganz im Sinne der notwendigen Empathie für eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit in der Schule.

description: We have developed lipid-polycation-DNA (LPD) nanoparticles containing DOTAP and targeted with polyethylene glycol (PEG) tethered with a targeting ligand such as anisamide (AA) to specifically deliver siRNA to cancer cells. Two novel non-glycerol based cationic lipids which contain both a guanidinium and a lysine or an arginine residue as the cationic headgroup are synthesized to replace DOTAP and form nanoparticles. DSGLA, which contains a lysine residue, down-regulated pERK more efficiently in H460 cells than DOTAP. DSAA, which contains an arginine residue, induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), triggered apoptosis and down-regulated anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in B16F10 melanoma cells. A significant improvement in tumor growth inhibition was observed after dosing with targeted nanoparticles containing DSGLA or DSAA. We further designed a LPD nanoparticle modification with NGR (aspargine-glycine-arginine) peptide, targeting aminopeptidase N (CD13) expressed in the tumor cells or tumor vascular endothelium. The targeted nanoparticles efficiently delivered c-myc siRNA into the cytoplasm of HT-1080 xenograft tumor and effectively suppressed c-myc expression and triggered cellular apoptosis in the tumor, resulting in a partial tumor growth inhibition. When doxorubicin (Dox) and siRNA were co-formulated in the multi-functional nanoparticles, an enhanced therapeutic effect was observed. Furthermore, we explored the application of the multi-functional nanoparticles in multi-drug resistant cells which are new targets for cancer therapy. In this study, we have used a multi-functional anionic LPD (LPD-II) nanoparticle for efficient systemic co-delivery of siRNA against c-myc and Dox, into P-gp-positive NCI/ADR-RES tumors in a xenograft model. c-Myc siRNA delivered by the targeted nanoparticles significantly down-regulated both c-myc and P-gp expressions in the tumor, caused enhanced Dox uptake and sensitized tumor cells to the co-delivered Dox. Three daily intravenous injections of c-myc siRNA and Dox co-formulated in the targeted nanoparticles showed a significant improvement in tumor growth inhibition. We have further developed a LPH (liposome-polycation-hyaluronic acid) nanoparticle formulation modified with tumor specific scFv (single chain variable fragment) for systemic delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA) into lung metastasis of murine B16F10 melanoma. When miR-34a and therapeutic siRNAs were co-formulated in C4-targeted nanoparticles, an enhanced anti-cancer effect was observed.

description: The prediction of the cross section $σ(γγ^*(Q^2)\to ηπ^0)$ based on the simultaneous description of the Belle data on the $γγ\to ηπ^0$ reaction and the KLOE data on the $ϕ\toηπ^0γ$ decay is presented. The production of the scalar $a_0(980)$ and tensor $a_2(1320)$ is studied in detail. It is shown that the QCD based asymptotics of the $γ^*(Q^2)γ\to a_2(1320)\toηπ^0$ cross section can be reached by the compensation of the contributions of $ρ(770)$ and $ω(782)$ with the contributions of their radial excitations in $Q^2$ channel. At large $Q^2$ the $a_2(1320)$ contribution is expected to be dominant, while at $Q^2=0$ it is similar to the scalars contribution.

description: Πεδίο έρευνας της ερευνητικής εργασίας αποτελούν, εναπομείνασες ή αποκομμένες εδαφικές και βραχώδεις μορφές. Ο τρόπος στήριξης, τα μορφολογικά γνωρίσματα, η ισορροπία και η αρτιότητα της σύνθεσης των σχισμών του εδάφους, ακολουθούν πανομοιότυπα ιδανικά με αυτά της αρχιτεκτονικής διαχείρισης. Οι προκείμενες αμυχές δύνανται να φανερώσουν τις απαρχές της αρχιτεκτονικής, αποσαφηνίζοντας τις αξίες της, τόσο σε θεωρητικό πλαίσιο, όσο και σε πρακτικό, εντοπίζοντας την κοινή αντιμετώπιση και συνύπαρξη της καλλιτεχνικής αταξίας με την κατασκευαστική τάξη, που υπηρετούν και οι δύο περιπτώσεις. Σαν ένα αόρατο νήμα να συνδέει τους δύο κόσμους, τίποτα δεν μπορεί να αναιρέσει την συσχέτιση αυτών. Όμως, γιατί και πώς προκύπτει αυτή η ταύτιση;
Με αφορμή το ποικιλόμορφο κρητικό τοπίο, επιχειρούμε να αποτυπώσουμε τα ίχνη που εγκολπώνονται στο αποτύπωμα εδαφικών φθορών, επανερμηνεύοντας δείκτες και σημεία αναφοράς του χώρου, της ύλης και του χρόνου. Η προσέγγιση αυτή αποτυπώνεται μέσω προσωπικής εικαστικής απόδοσης και μεταγραφής, αποσκοπώντας στην οικειοποίηση σκωριοτοπίων. Έτσι, καλλιεργείται η δημιουργική σκέψη και έκφραση καθώς οι έντονες αναφορές σε φαινομενολογικές και φιλοσοφικές θεωρήσεις επιβεβαιώνουν την μέθοδο που ακλουθείται.

description: Closely coupling a reconfigurable fabric with a conventional processor
has been shown to successfully improve the system performance. However,
today’s superscalar processors are both complex and adept at extracting Instruction
Level Parallelism (ILP), which introduces many complex issues to the design
of a hybrid CPU-RFU system. This paper examines the design of a superscalar
processor augmented with a closely-coupled reconfigurable fabric. It identifies
architectural and compiler issues that affect the performance of the overall system.
Previous efforts at combining a processor core with a reconfigurable fabric
are examined in the light of these issues. We also present simulation results that
emphasize the impact of these factors.

description: The assessment of the well-being of the peripheral auditory nerve system in individuals experiencing hearing impairment is conducted through auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing. Audiologists assess and document the results of the ABR test. They interpret the findings and assign labels to them using reference-based markers like peak latency, waveform morphology, amplitude, and other relevant factors. Inaccurate assessment of ABR tests may lead to incorrect judgments regarding the integrity of the auditory nerve system; therefore, proper Hearing Loss (HL) diagnosis and analysis are essential. To identify and assess ABR automation while decreasing the possibility of human error, machine learning methods, notably deep learning, may be an appropriate option. To address these issues, this study proposed deep-learning models using the transfer-learning (TL) approach to extract features from ABR testing and diagnose HL using support vector machines (SVM). Pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures like AlexNet, DenseNet, GoogleNet, InceptionResNetV2, InceptionV3, MobileNetV2, NASNetMobile, ResNet18, ResNet50, ResNet101, ShuffleNet, and SqueezeNet are used to extract features from the collected ABR reported images dataset in the proposed model. It has been decided to use six measures accuracy, precision, recall, geometric mean (GM), standard deviation (SD), and area under the ROC curve to measure the effectiveness of the proposed model. According to experimental findings, the ShuffleNet and ResNet50 models' TL is effective for ABR to diagnose HL using an SVM classifier, with a high accuracy rate of 95% when using the 5-fold cross-validation method.

description: This replication package contains the code, datasets, and instructions necessary to replicate the analysis reported in the submitted paper: Mining a Decade of Event Impacts on Contributor Dynamics in Ethereum: A Longitudinal Study.Abstract: We analyze developer activity across 10 major Ethereum repositories (totaling 129884 commits, 40550 issues) spanning 10 years to examine how events such as technical upgrades, market events, and community decisions impact development. Through statistical, survival, and network analyses, we find that technical events prompt increased activity before the event, followed by reduced commit rates afterwards, whereas market events lead to more reactive development. Core infrastructure repositories like Go-Ethereum exhibit faster issue resolution compared to developer tools, and technical events enhance core team collaboration. Our findings show how different types of events shape development dynamics, offering insights for project managers and developers in maintaining development momentum through major transitions. This work contributes to understanding the resilience of development communities and their adaptation to ecosystem changes.
