Tooth Whitening Procedures and Orthodontic Treatment: A Survey of Orthodontists
Creators: name: Slack, Maura E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Introduction: Esthetics is increasingly important in modern dentistry, but there are no published reports about how tooth whitening is utilized within contemporary orthodontic practices in the United States. Methods: A weighted sample of American Association of Orthodontists members were surveyed to quantitatively and qualitatively assess orthodontists' current practices regarding tooth whitening procedure. Results: 1,182 surveys were eligible for analysis. Nationwide, 88.8% orthodontists had patients who requested tooth whitening, while 76.2% of orthodontists had recommended whitening for some of their orthodontic patients, typically less than 25% of their total patient population. Approximately one-third (32.8%) of orthodontists provided whitening and nearly two-thirds (65.8%) referred whitening procedures to other dental professionals. Conclusion: Almost all orthodontists encounter patients who request whitening procedures and the majority recommend their use for a small percentage of their patients. The proportion of orthodontists who refer out such procedures is nearly double the proportion that provides these procedures.
Unparticles as the Holographic Dual of Gapped AdS Gravity

description: Naively applying holographic duality to gapped gravity on Anti de Sitter (AdS) space seems to suggest that the stress tensor of the field theory dual cannot be conserved. On the other hand, by symmetry arguments, it seems that the dual should not violate Poincare symmetry. To clarify this apparent contradiction, we study a holographic dual of massive gravity where both the physical background metric and the fiducial metric are AdS. Using the anomalous scaling of the energy momentum tensor as our guide, we conclude that the dual theory is nonlocal. We find that the dual is similar to conformal invariant "unparticle" theories. We show that such theories can be viewed as dimensional reductions of flat-space field theories with inhomogeneous scaling properties.

description: We present a 2D lattice model of water to study the effects of ion hydration on the properties of water. We map the water molecules as lattice particles consisting of a single Oxygen at the center of a site and two Hydrogen atoms on each side. The internal state of the system, such as the dipole moment at a site, is defined with respect to the location of the Hydrogen atoms at the site depending on their role in Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) being a donor or an acceptor. We study the influence of the charge and the radius of the ion on the insertion energy and on the H-bonds in the first and second hydration layers around the ion and in the bulk. In particular we analyze how the competing interactions of the short-ranged H-bonds and the long-ranged electrostatics influence the hydration properties. The role of the ion both as a source of the electrostatic interactions as well as a defect is also discussed. Our model also shows the well known fact that the polarizability of the water molecules destroys the hydrogen bond network and increases the dipole moment of the molecules near the ion.

Feminist Tendencies, Tensions, and Co-Design Practice
Creators: name: KORSMEYER, HANNAH KATHERINE
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Design

description: As use of co-design methods increase in the public sector, practitioners operate at a nexus of complex social issues, such as gender equity. Contributing to recent discourses that interrogate how designers enact methods, this study investigates how a personal feminist perspective both shapes and is shaped by engaging in co-design. Drawing inspiration from Sara Ahmed, the study focuses on ‘the background’ of co-design and explores practitioner experiences through design research praxis narratives (DRPNs). These narratives illustrate how practitioners negotiate everyday norms that perpetuate inequity. Rather than outlining what practitioners should be doing, this phenomenological study explores how feminist co-design practice unfolds.
Reaching a million: land conservation patterns and process in North Carolina, 1999-2009
Creators: name: Bidgood, Emily Page
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: My research examines how land conservation efforts are carried out by institutions and informed by public policy using as a case study North Carolina's legislative commitment to conserve one million acres of open space from 1999 to 2009. I use a geographic information system (GIS) to analyze the spatial patterns of land conservation in relation to environmental and socioeconomic metrics, and compare land conservation efforts before and after 1999. Based on qualitative interview work with 39 professionals active in the conservation field, I discuss the role of the state's legislative commitment and describe how the institutions and resources of the conservation field have changed over time. I argue that further effective efforts to conserve beyond one million acres will require new messages and commitments from the state.

description: Recently, a phase transition has been discovered in the network community detection problem below which no algorithm can tell which nodes belong to which communities with success any better than a random guess. This result has, however, so far been limited to the case where the communities have the same size or the same average degree. Here we consider the case where the sizes or average degrees are different. This asymmetry allows us to assign nodes to communities with better-than- random success by examining their local neighborhoods. Using the cavity method, we show that this removes the detectability transition completely for networks with four groups or fewer, while for more than four groups the transition persists up to a critical amount of asymmetry but not beyond. The critical point in the latter case coincides with the point at which local information percolates, causing a global transition from a less-accurate solution to a more-accurate one.

Strong coupling electrostatic theory of polymer counterions close to planar charges

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Strong coupling phenomena, such as the like charged macroions attraction, opposite charged macroions repulsion, charge renormalization or charge inversion, are known to be mediated by multivalent counterions. Most theories treat the counterions as point charges, and describe the system by a single coupling parameter that measures the strength of the Coulomb interactions. In many biological systems, the counterions are highly charged and have finite sizes and can be well-described by polyelectrolytes. The shapes and orientations of these polymer counterions play a major role in the thermodynamics of these systems. In this work we apply a field theoretic description in the strong coupling regime to polyelectrolytes. We work out the special cases of rod-like polymer counterions confined by one and two charged walls respectively. The effects of the geometry of the rod-like counterions and the excluded volume of the walls on the density, pressure and the free energy of the rodlike counterions are discussed.

Defining Abstraction: How Postwar New York Became American
Creators: name: Minor, Hardin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis reexamines the art historical narrative of abstraction in 1950s New York City. I argue that this story as written since the 1960s chooses to regard abstraction as bifurcated into styles supposedly native to either Europe or America. Examining the works of two European artists, Nicholas de Staël and Pierre Soulages, I demonstrate rather how American curators, gallerists, and critics in the fifties promoted a pan-national abstraction. The affinities they stressed between Paris and New York were recognized but modified by the critical and popular press, whose responses foreshadowed a break between American and European abstractionists discursively created by art history. Drawing on readings of exhibition materials, critical responses, and histories of abstract expressionism, this thesis aims to reintroduce Europeans to this history of abstraction. By doing so, I hope to explain how the history heretofore written on the international community of abstractionists in the fifties became exclusively American.

Further, the gauge dependence of one-particle irreducible amplitudes in such superconformal Chern-Simons theory is shown to be generated by a canonical flow with respect to the extended Slavnov-Taylor identity, induced by the extended BRST transformations (including the BRST transformations of the gauge parameters).

media portrayal of gender

description: Gender-based violence is a pervasive societal problem that demands immediate attention and action. The media and its responsible use of language play a pivotal role in shaping public perceptions and discussions about this issue. The current state of media portrayal fails to recognise gender-based violence as a structural and political problem, perpetuating harmful stereotypes and norms that enable violence against women. By implementing a pan-European policy that regulates media outcomes and promotes ethical reporting practices, the EU can take a crucial step towards combating gender-based violence and fostering a society that upholds the rights and dignity of all individuals. Emphasising the urgency and significance of this issue, this policy brief urges media organisations, journalists, and EU policymakers to work collaboratively in breaking the silence and initiating concrete measures towards a safer and more equitable future for all within the European Union.

description: This paper reports on an investigation into the correlations between students' understandings of introductory astronomy concepts and the correctness and coherency of their written responses to targeted Lecture-Tutorial questions. We assessed the correctness and coherency of responses from 454 college-level, general education, introductory astronomy students enrolled in courses taught in the spring of 2010, 2011, and 2012. We hypothesized that students who consistently provided responses with high levels of correctness and coherency would outperform students who did not on multiple measures of astronomy content knowledge. We compared students' correctness and coherency scores to their normalized gains on the Light and Spectroscopy Concept Inventory (LSCI) and to their scores on closely-related exam items. Our analysis revealed that no significant correlations exist between students' correctness and coherency scores and their LSCI gain scores or exam item scores. However, the participant group in our study did achieve high scores on the LSCI and on closely-related exam items. We hypothesized that these differences are due to the discussions that take place between students which suggests that instructors who teach with active engagement instructional strategies should focus their implementation on ensuring that their students fully engage in the richest possible discourse.

The effect of carbohydrate consumption during intensive exercise training on the free testosterone to cortisol ratio
Creators: name: Lane, Amy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This study examined the effect of dietary carbohydrate (CHO) consumption on the free testosterone to cortisol (fTC) ratio during an intense microcycle of exercise training. The ratio is a proposed biomarker for overreaching-overtraining in athletes. Two groups, control-CHO (~60% of daily intake, n=12) and low-CHO (~30% of daily intake, n=8), of male subjects performed three consecutive days of intensive training (~70-75% maximal capacity) with a dietary intervention (day before and days of training). The fTC ratio decreased (p<0.01) from pre-study resting measurement to the final post-study resting measurement in the low-CHO group. No significant change occurred in the control group. Findings suggest if the fTC ratio is utilized as a marker of training stress a diet of ~60% CHO needs to be consumed to maintain validity of the ratio value.

description: The modified number of constituent quark (NCQ) scaling $v_{n}/n_{q}^{n/2} \sim KE_{T}/n_{q}$ for mesons and baryons and the scaling relation $v_{n} \sim v_{2}^{n/2}$ for higher-order anisotropic flows, which were observed experimentally, have been investigated at top RHIC energy. It has been found that the modified NCQ scaling can not be obtained from the naive coalescence even by taking into account event-by-event fluctuations but may be due to hadronic afterburner or thermal freeze-out. In addition, we observed that the behavior of the $v_{n}/v_{2}^{n/2}$ ratio is sensitive to the partonic interaction, and it is different for mesons and baryons from the naive coalescence but is expected to be almost the same experimentally.

On the meaning of locality: the overlapping assumptions

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We examine the locality assumption of Bell's theorem in three steps of EPRB experiment. Depending on the context, locality is embodied in the conditions of separability, local causality, factorizability, relativistic causality, and non-contextuality. We show that separability, characterized by the constraint of zero covariance, is equivalent to local causality which leads to factorizability through the measurement process. Factorizability is the conjunction of parameter independence and outcome independence. It is commonly believed that relativistic causality is equivalent to parameter independence, which is satisfied by quantum mechanics. According to our approach, however, this is unjustified due to the second step analysis of EPRB experiment, including the measurement on the first particle. We define non-contextuality based on preparation procedure and measurement process. Preparation-based non-contextuality is an independent assumption, but non-locality within the framework of a separable model can be interpreted as measurement-based contextuality. Finally, we show that any fundamental theory consistent with quantum mechanics, should refute outcome independence in its framework of description.
Volcanism and sedimentation: new insight into arc-related volcanism and sediment deposition in a synkinematic Paleoproterozoic basin, Rosebel Gold Mine, northeastern Suriname
Creators: name: Watson, Thomas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The recognition of a Paleoproterozoic island arc system, and associated depositional environments, preserved in the rocks of northeastern Suriname, relies on field, geochemical, and petrographic evidence obtained during this study, through the Rosebel Gold Mine (RGM). Geochemical and petrographic analyses of igneous rocks from RGM indicate that they are island arc related. Analyses of sedimentary rocks reveal the presence of four depositional environments, and different sediment provenances, reflecting different styles of deposition, and erosion of different source rocks. Structural analyses of the rocks at RGM have lead to the recognition of three phases of deformation: (D1-D3), resulting in thrusting and nappe style folding, steepening of these folds and development of pervasive axial planar foliation, and later, sinistral strike-slip faulting. These studies combined are used to generate a model of the evolution of the rocks at RGM during the Transamazonian orogeny.

Space-time Philosophy Reconstructed via Massive Nordström Scalar Gravities? Laws vs. Geometry, Conventionality, and Underdetermination

description: Klein-Gordon gravity, 1920s-30s particle physics, and 1890s Neumann-Seeliger modified gravity suggest a "graviton mass term" *algebraic* in the potential. Unlike Nordström's "massless" theory, massive scalar gravity is invariant under the Poincaré group but not the 15-parameter conformal group. It thus exhibits the whole Minkowski space-time structure, indirectly for volumes. Massive scalar gravity is plausible as a field theory, but violates Einstein's principles of general covariance, general relativity, equivalence, and Mach. Geometry is a poor guide: matter sees a conformally flat metric due to universal coupling, but gravity sees the rest of the flat metric (on long distances) in the mass term. What is the `true' geometry, in line with Poincaré's modal conventionality argument? Infinitely many theories exhibit this bimetric `geometry,' all with the total stress-energy's trace as source; geometry does not explain the field equations. The irrelevance of the Ehlers-Pirani-Schild construction to conventionalism is evident given multi-geometry theories. As Seeliger envisaged, the smooth massless limit yields underdetermination between massless and massive scalar gravities---an unconceived alternative. One version easily could have been developed before GR; it would have motivated thinking of Einstein's equations along the lines of his newly reappreciated "physical strategy" and suggested a rivalry from massive spin 2 for GR (massless spin 2, Pauli-Fierz 1939). The Putnam-Grünbaum debate on conventionality is revisited given a broad modal scope. Massive scalar gravity licenses a historically plausible rational reconstruction of much of space-time philosophy in light of particle physics. An appendix reconsiders the Malament-Weatherall-Manchak conformal restriction of conventionality and constructs the `universal force' in the null cones.

THE EDUCATION OF MIGRANTS IN GERMANY: DETERMINANTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL TRACK RECOMMENDATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT
Creators: name: Snodgrass, Tess
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The aim and purpose of this paper is to determine why students with a migration background are overrepresented in the lowest secondary school and underrepresented in the highest secondary school in Germany. Through an analysis of previous literature, three different determinants will be evaluated: culture and language, discrimination and socioeconomic status. While previous studies emphasize socioeconomic status as the most important determinant, other parental background factors linked to culture and language should not be ignored. Furthermore, while there is discrimination apparent in the German education system, the factors creating such discrimination also have important links to a student’s family. So, this paper will demonstrate why parental background factors beyond socioeconomic status are still critical in the educational attainment of students with a migration background.

description: We present a theoretical description of the dynamics of a semi-flexible polymer being pulled through a nanopore by an external force acting at the pore. Our theory is based on the tensile blob picture of Pincus in which the front of the tensile force propagates through the backbone of the polymer, as suggested by Sakaue and recently applied to study a completely flexible polymer with self-avoidance, by Dubbledam et al. For a semi-flexible polymer with a persistence length P , its statistics is self-avoiding for a very long chain. As the local force increases, the blob size starts to decrease. At the blob size P/a^2 , where a is the size of a monomer, the statistics becomes that of an ideal chain. As the blob size further decreases to below the persistence length P, the statistics is that of a rigid rod. We argue that semi-flexible polymer in translocation should include the three regions: a self-avoiding region, an ideal chain region and a rigid rod region, under uneven tension propagation, instead of a uniform scaling picture as in the case of a completely flexible polymer. In various regimes under the effect of weak, intermediate and strong driving forces we derive equations from which we can calculate the translocation time of the polymer. The translocation exponent is given by α=1+μ, where μis an effective exponent for the end-to-end distance of the semi-flexible polymer, having a value between 1/2 and 3/5, depending on the total contour length of the polymer. Our results are of relevance for forced translocation of biological polymers such as DNA through a nanopore.

The effect of different warm-up protocols on speed and agility
Creators: name: Biener, Eric

description: Research suggests that, in addition to training, the utilization of a proper warm-up protocol may improve results of maximal performance testing. However, the impact of different protocols has been inconclusive. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of a dynamic warm-up (DWU) protocol compared to a static stretching warm-up (SSWU) protocol on speed and agility performance. Fifteen male collegiate club sports athletes participated in this study. Results suggested a significantly faster 40-Yard Dash following the DWU protocol compared to the SSWU (p<0.005). Meanwhile, results suggested no significant difference in time to completion for the Pro Agility Shuttle between the two protocols (p>0.005). Elevated muscle and core temperatures, increased neuromuscular activation, and rehearsal of movement are among the factors that may have led to the improved 40-Yard Dash performance. Additionally, confounding factors (footwear, running surface, and knowledge of testing techniques) could have played a role in the non-significant Pro Agility Shuttles times.

Nationalist Rhetoric and Public Legitimacy in Ilham Aliyev's Azerbaijan
Creators: name: Midas, Benjamin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis explores the question of why nondemocratic leaders use nationalist rhetoric in ways very similar to democratic leaders through a case study of Azerbaijan. I argue that Azerbaijan’s president Ilham Aliyev uses nationalist rhetoric in order to build public legitimacy for his regime. Despite not needing to build a base of support for legitimate elections, Aliyev needs to legitimate his regime in the eyes of his citizens. To do so he uses nationalist themes in his speeches that resonate with Azerbaijani population to develop popular support. These themes come from applying theories of nationalism to the context of Azerbaijan. I will show the nationalist themes Aliyev utilizes in his speeches and how the use of those themes changes in response to events in Azerbaijan. Aliyev modulates his nationalist rhetoric in response to events in predictable ways, which shows how he manipulates nationalist themes to generate support.

description: Introduction: The Canadian Aboriginal population, encompassing at large First Nation, Metis, and Inuit (FNMI) communities, is at greater risk of substance use and substance use disorder than their non-Aboriginal counterparts. The legacy of oppression under colonialism has yielded poorer health outcomes in tandem with impoverished social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, housing conditions, employment, education, health literacy and access to healthcare, that persist to present day. Significantly, this disparity is preserved in female versus male Canadians, with Canadian Aboriginal females at greatest risk for disadvantage. Specifically, for these individuals, there remains a dearth of cohesive appraisal of programs addressing social risk factors for substance use disorder. This scoping review has been designed to explore this gap by evaluating what evidence-based practices and community programs can address specific social determinants of substance use disorder. In addition to collating which social determinants have been addressed to reduce substance use disorder development in FNMI females, we aim to evaluate what social determinants have been addressed at a deficit and where there remains a gap in the continuum of care for substance use disorder in this population. Methodology and analysis: This scoping review has been designed according to the JBI scoping review methodology delineated in the Joanna Briggs Institute Methods Manual for scoping reviews. Determinants were extrapolated through the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Conceptual Framework for Action on the Social Determinants of Health, and Health Canada’s “Honouring Our Strengths” framework. The search strategy will employ the following databases: PsychINFO, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Ovid Global Health. Two independent reviewers will screen for eligible studies and conduct data abstraction and analysis. Grey literature will be included for comprehensiveness. Ethics and dissemination: Data analysis will be secondary to published content and ethics approval is not necessary. Results will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed journal and conferences. The goal is to assist researchers, academics, and policy makers for future informed action aiming to reduce substance use disorder in FNMI females.

description: An experiment is described that enables students to understand the properties of atmospheric extinction due to Rayleigh scattering. The experiment requires the use of red, green and blue lasers attached to a travelling microscope or similar device. The laser beams are passed through an artificial atmosphere, made from milky water, at varying depths, before impinging on either a light meter or a photodiode integral to a Picotech Dr. DAQ ADC. A plot of measured spectral intensity verses depth reveals the contribution Rayleigh scattering has to the extinction coefficient. For the experiment with the light meter, the extinction coefficients for red, green and blue light in the milky sample of water were 0.27, 0.36 and 0.47 cm^-1 respectively and 0.032, 0.037 and 0.092 cm^-1 for the Picotech Dr. DAQ ADC.

description: We present molecular line imaging observations of three massive molecular outflow sources, G333.6-0.2, G333.1-0.4, and G332.8-0.5, all of which also show evidence for infall, within the G333 giant molecular cloud (GMC). All three are within a beam size (36 arcseconds) of IRAS sources, 1.2-mm dust clumps, various masing species and radio continuum-detected HII regions and hence are associated with high-mass star formation. We present the molecular line data and derive the physical properties of the outflows including the mass, kinematics, and energetics and discuss the inferred characteristics of their driving sources. Outflow masses are of 10 to 40 solar masses in each lobe, with core masses of order 10^3 solar masses. outflow size scales are a few tenth of a parsec, timescales are of several x10^4 years, mass loss rates a few x10^-4 solar masses/year. We also find the cores are turbulent and highly supersonic.

description: We build an effective medium theory for two-dimensional photonic crystals comprising a rectangular lattice of dielectric cylinders with the incident electric field polarized along the axis of the cylinders. In particular, we discuss the feasibility of constructing an effective medium theory for the case where the Bloch wave vector is far away from the center of Brillouin zone, where the optical response of the photonic crystal is necessarily anisotropic and hence the effective medium description becomes inevitability angle dependent. We employ the scattering theory and treat the two-dimensional system as a stack of one-dimensional arrays. We consider only the zero-order interlayer diffraction and all the higher order diffraction terms of interlayer scattering are ignored. This approximation works well when the higher order diffraction terms are all evanescent waves and the interlayer distance is far enough for them to decay out. Scattering theory enables the calculation of transmission and reflection coefficients of a finite sized slab, and we extract the effective parameters such as the impedance ($Z_e$) and the refractive index ($n_e$) using a parameter retrieval method. We note that $n_e$ is uniquely defined only in a very limited region of the reciprocal space. ($n_e k_0 a<<1$, where $k_0$ is the wave vector inside the vacuum and a is thickness of the slab for retrieval), but $Z_e$ is uniquely defined and has a well-defined meaning inside a much larger domain in the reciprocal space. For a lossless system, the effective impedance $Z_e$ is purely real for the pass band and purely imaginary in the band gaps. Using the sign of the imaginary part of $Z_e$, we can classify the band gaps into two groups and this classification explains why there is usually no surface state on the boundary of typical fully gapped photonic crystals comprising of a lattice of dielectric cylinders.

description: Objective: This scoping review aims to systematically identify the types, characteristics, and possible pathophysiologic etiologies of the oral ulcers that emerge in COVID-19 patients. Introduction: The oral cavity is a vulnerable niche for the most diverse microbial ecosystem in the human body; therefore, it presents a wide array of mucocutaneous complications that could indicate various acute and chronic conditions. The COVID-19-related oral conditions, including oral ulcers, had been widely debated as direct manifestations or indirect complications of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. According to a preliminary search of PROSPERO, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and the JBI Evidence Synthesis, there is no published nor registered scoping review concerned with the oral ulcers of COVID-19 patients. Inclusion criteria: The review will include studies included COVID-19 patients whose infection had been confirmed by RT-PCR testing regardless of infection severity and clinical course. Only the studies that reported COVID-19 patients with oral ulcers. Methods: A three-phase search strategy will be carried out: an initial limited search, a full electronic search, and hand search using the reference lists of all included records. The main bibliographic databases of published literature will include MEDLINE (PubMed), Cochrane COVID-19 Study Register, EMBASE via Ovid, and Scopus. All identified records will be managed using EndNote 9.2, and the titles and abstracts will be screened against the inclusion criteria before the full text of all potentially relevant studies will be examined. The data will be presented in tabular form, rating maps, and narrative summary.
