description: Although the correlation between general cognitive ability (g) and performance on speeded cognitive tasks is well-established, there is need for a better understanding of how successive stages of processing contribute to this relationship. Previous research suggests that g is primarily associated with the rapidity of decision-making rather than perceptual processing of stimuli; the implication is that g should statistically interact with a manipulation affecting the difficulty of the decision process, while simultaneously failing to interact with a perceptual manipulation. We applied Sternberg's method of additive factors to test this hypothesis in two reaction time tasks, each of which systematically manipulated the demands on perceptual acuity and decision-making. With a total of 773 participants, we found evidence of an interaction between a short-form measure of g and the decisional—but not perceptual—manipulations. This pattern was found in both number-comparison (Experiment 1) and tone-comparison (Experiment 2) tasks. Additionally, diffusion modeling of the Experiment 1 results revealed that the diffusion rate (v) is associated with g and affected by an informational attribute of the stimulus (numerical magnitude) but not a perceptual attribute (contrast), the nondecision time (Ter) is not associated with g and shows the opposite pattern of selective influence. Taken together, these findings add to the evidence for a theoretical framework partitioning reaction time into several processing stages, of which only the decision-making stage is associated with g.
Cultural Revolution Narratives: Rethinking History through the Prism of Post-Mao Literature

Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Chinese educated youth, or zhiqing, who were sent to the countryside for re-education during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), began to re-frame their historical narratives of this tumultuous decade in the post-Mao period. This essay examines how two distinct genres of post-Mao literature, the Literature of the Wounded (shanghen wenxue) and Nostalgic Literature (huaijiu wenxue), reproduced an imaginary binary between individual memories of the Cultural Revolution and the officially-sanctioned history of this period, while a third genre of literature, the Narration of the Absurd (huangdan xushi), rejected a memory/history dichotomy. Instead of relying on a single narratorial voice, which silences the plurality of voices located in and out of the historical record, the Narration of the Absurd opened up radically new possibilities for narrating, in a non-linear fashion, a multiplicity of perspectives, memories, and uncertainties about the past.

Continuum electrodynamics and the Abraham--Minkowski momentum controversy
Creators: name: Crenshaw, Michael E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Continuum electrodynamics is an axiomatic formal theory based on the macroscopic Maxwell equations and the constitutive relations. We apply the formal theory to a thermodynamically closed system consisting of an antireflection coated block of dielectric situated in free-space and illuminated by a quasimonochromatic field. We show that valid theorems of the formal theory are proven false by relativity and by conservation laws. Then the axioms of the formal theory are proven false at a fundamental level of mathematical logic. We derive a new formal theory of continuum electrodynamics for macroscopic electric and magnetic fields in a four-dimensional flat non-Minkowski material spacetime in which the speed of light is c/n.

description: Language Models today provide a high accuracy across a large number of downstream tasks. However, they remain susceptible to adversarial attacks, particularly against those where the adversarial examples maintain considerable similarity to the original text. Given the multilingual nature of text, the effectiveness of adversarial examples across translations and how machine translations can improve the robustness of adversarial examples remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study on the robustness of current text adversarial attacks to round-trip translation. We demonstrate that 6 state-of-the-art text-based adversarial attacks do not maintain their efficacy after round-trip translation. Furthermore, we introduce an intervention-based solution to this problem, by integrating Machine Translation into the process of adversarial example generation and demonstrating increased robustness to round-trip translation. Our results indicate that finding adversarial examples robust to translation can help identify the insufficiency of language models that is common across languages, and motivate further research into multilingual adversarial attacks.

description: We present results from a subset of simulations from the "Evolution and Assembly of GaLaxies and their Environments" (EAGLE) suite in which the formulation of the hydrodynamics scheme is varied. We compare simulations that use the same subgrid models without re-calibration of the parameters but employing the standard GADGET flavour of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) instead of the more recent state-of-the-art ANARCHY formulation of SPH that was used in the fiducial EAGLE runs. We find that the properties of most galaxies, including their masses and sizes, are not significantly affected by the details of the hydrodynamics solver. However, the star formation rates of the most massive objects are affected by the lack of phase mixing due to spurious surface tension in the simulation using standard SPH. This affects the efficiency with which AGN activity can quench star formation in these galaxies and it also leads to differences in the intragroup medium that affect the X-ray emission from these objects. The differences that can be attributed to the hydrodynamics solver are, however, likely to be less important at lower resolution. We also find that the use of a time step limiter is important for achieving the feedback efficiency required to match observations of the low-mass end of the galaxy stellar mass function.

Crossing probability for directed polymers in random media: exact tail of the distribution

description: We study the probability $p \equiv p_η(t)$ that two directed polymers in a given random potential $η$ and with fixed and nearby endpoints, do not cross until time $t$. This probability is itself a random variable (over samples $η$) which, as we show, acquires a very broad probability distribution at large time. In particular the moments of $p$ are found to be dominated by atypical samples where $p$ is of order unity. Building on a formula established by us in a previous work using nested Bethe Ansatz and Macdonald process methods, we obtain analytically the leading large time behavior of {\it all moments} $\overline{p^m}\simeq γ_m/t$. From this, we extract the exact tail $\sim ρ(p)/t$ of the probability distribution of the non-crossing probability at large time. The exact formula is compared to numerical simulations, with excellent agreement.

Empedocles, Epicurus, and the failure of sacrifice in Lucretius
Creators: name: Rider, Zackary P.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis, I examine sacrificial ritual as it is portrayed in Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, focusing on its role in Lucretius' polemic against religion. In the first chapter, I engage in a detailed analysis of sacrificial scenes in the DRN, showing that sacrifice is regularly shown to have deleterious effects on social relationships. I argue that such a representation renders sacrifice incompatible with Epicurean philosophy as practiced prior to Lucretius because of Epicurus' known approval of the practice, and that such a discrepancy suggests a rift in thought between Lucretius and his school. In the second chapter, I argue that Lucretius instead uses an Empedoclean model for his portrayal of sacrifice, presenting it and religion as the social analogues to the Empedoclean force Strife, while presenting his Epicurean philosophy as analogous to the Empedoclean force Love, co-opting the earlier poet's cosmology to his own Epicurean ends.

Impact of Meaningful Recognition on Nurses’ Work Environment in ICU: A Comparative of Nurse Leaders’ and Staff Nurses’ Perception
Creators: name: Cherian, Usha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Purpose: Meaningful Recognition (MR) for job performance, one of the six essential standards of a Healthy Work Environment (HWE), is central to nurses’ satisfaction and retention, patient satisfaction and outcomes, and organizational outcomes (AACN, 2005). However, little evidence exists to guide clinical practices related to MR strategies that are most valued by clinical nurses. As a result, nurse managers and other leaders often provide recognition based on assumptions, traditions, and previous experiences, which may or may not be meaningful to their nursing staff members. The purpose of this project was to explore the perception of MR among staff nurses and nurse leaders, compare these perceptions, and identify innovative methods for recognizing nurse’s contributions in ways that are valued by the individual, and make recommendations for implementing these methods to the Organizations’ Nursing Practice Council. Design: This DNP project used mixed method approach to explore the perception of MR among a convenience sample of nurse leaders and staff nurses working in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) of a large academic medical center, utilizing a mixed method approach. Twenty six nurses participated in seven focus group interview (FGI) sessions that were grouped by position, to obtain a cross sectional perspective. Ninety-five nurses participated in the Healthy Work Environment (HWE) survey and Recognition surveys administered via Qualtrics software. Results: Thematic analysis of the focus group discussion yielded eight themes: what is MR; when to give MR, ways to give MR, who should give MR, who should receive MR, benefits of MR and barriers in providing MR. A lack of awareness about the concept of MR and unavailability of best practices to provide MR were the major reasons cited by staff nurses and nurse leaders for not providing MR. In addition, limited resources, institutional policies and the size and diversity of the nursing workforce were also barriers to providing MR to nurses. Survey results indicated that critical care staff nurses’ perception of the current work environment and MR was ‘good’ based on the AACN’s scoring guidelines for HWE survey. The results of the Recognition survey was similar to the focus group discussion theme ‘ways to give MR’, which confirmed that salary commensurate to performance scheduling flexibility, opportunities for growth, private verbal feedback and written and public recognition were the most meaningful methods of recognition. Conclusion: The standard of MR should be given equal priority along with other five HWE standards. Nursing leadership needs to focus on developing strategies to provide MR in a consistent and systematic manner, so that every nurse will reap the benefits of MR. The art and science of providing MR should be added to leadership development programs and included as an essential competency for nurse leaders.

description: Where do our political attitudes come from? Early research into the etiology of socially relevant beliefs attributed their origin primarily to the social world in which we develop. The observation that similar beliefs are reflected in our family and immediate social environments suggested that children learn these beliefs through the process of socialization. Genetically sensitive study designs later observed that the sociopolitical beliefs of identical twins are more similar than those of non-identical twins, despite being reared in the same environment, leading to an understanding of the role of genetics in the development of social attitudes. However, it has remained unclear whether and to what extent parents influence the development of these attitudes apart from or in addition to their genetic contribution. In a unique sample of 394 adoptive and biological families with adult offspring M age = 31.8, SD = 2.7), we demonstrate strong correlations between attitudes of parents with both adoptive and non-adoptive offspring. Biometric modeling reveals a significant contribution of both maternal and paternal phenotypes apart from and in addition to genetic contribution, including evidence for gene-environment correlation. These findings have significant implications for the origin and development of political and social attitudes in a modern political sphere where the etiology of such beliefs may be more important than ever to many.

description: One of the most powerful techniques to study the dark sector of the Universe is weak gravitational lensing. In practice, to infer the reduced shear, weak lensing measures galaxy shapes, which are the consequence of both the intrinsic ellipticity of the sources and of the integrated gravitational lensing effect along the line of sight. Hence, a very large number of galaxies is required in order to average over their individual properties and to isolate the weak lensing cosmic shear signal. If this `shape noise' can be reduced, significant advances in the power of a weak lensing surveys can be expected. This paper describes a general method for extracting the probability distributions of parameters from catalogues of data using Voronoi cells, which has several applications, and has synergies with Bayesian hierarchical modelling approaches. This allows us to construct a probability distribution for the variance of the intrinsic ellipticity as a function of galaxy property using only photometric data, allowing a reduction of shape noise. As a proof of concept the method is applied to the CFHTLenS survey data. We use this approach to investigate trends of galaxy properties in the data and apply this to the case of weak lensing power spectra.

Saints, Saracens, and the reconquest: re-imagining martyrdom in the Antependium of Durro
Creators: name: Black, Krysta L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Previous scholarship of the early twelfth-century Antependium of Saints Quiricus and Julitta has been limited to its inclusion in surveys documenting and categorizing the range of Catalan antependia from the late eleventh to thirteenth centuries. This thesis suggests that by taking into account the history and ideologies of the Reconquest and imbuing them with discourses on martyrdom, the antependium initiates a dialogue with the past that intertwines the remote memory of persecution with the salient notion of crusade. The presence of anti-Islamic sentiment, in part expressed by recasting contemporary Muslims as persecutors and idolaters akin to the Roman persecutors of the early Christian past, allows the antependium to be interpreted as visual manifestation of the changing ideology of the Reconquest. This thesis proposes a multivalent reading of the antependium that weaves the timeless notion of Christian sacrifice with contemporary perceptions of martyrdom and crusade.

description: We conduct a spectroscopic search of quasars observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with broad absorption line (BAL) troughs due to Mg II and troughs due to Fe II that simultaneously exhibit strong Balmer narrow emission lines (NELs). We find that in a redshift range of 0.4 less than or equal to z less than or equal to 0.9 approximately 23 of the 70 Mg II BALs and 4 of a subset of 15 Fe II BALs exhibit strong Balmer emission. We also find significant fractions of Mg II BALs (approximately 23%) and those Mg II BALs with Fe II troughs (approximately 27%) have strong continuum reddening, E(B - V) greater than or equal to 0.1. From measurements of the Balmer decrement in three objects, we find similarly significant reddening of the NEL region in three of the four objects; the NELs in the fourth object are not measurable. We also include one object in this study not taken from the SDSS sample that shows Fe II absorption and strong narrow emission, but due to measurement uncertainty and low continuum reddening the comparison is consistent but inconclusive. We find a trend in both the Mg II and Fe II BAL samples between the NEL reddening and continuum reddening. Because the narrow line reddening is consistent with the continuum reddening in every object in the two SDSS samples, it suggests that the reddening sources in these objects likely exist at larger radial distances than the narrow line regions from the central nucleus.

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: Voyager 2 observations revealed that the internal luminosity of Neptune is an order of magnitude higher than that of Uranus. If the two planets have similar interior structures and cooling histories, the luminosity of Neptune can only be explained by invoking some energy source beyond gravitational contraction. This paper investigates whether Centaur impacts could provide the energy necessary to produce the luminosity of Neptune. The major findings are (1) that impacts on both Uranus and Neptune are too infrequent to provide luminosities of order the observed value for Neptune, even for optimistic impact-rate estimates, and (2) that Uranus and Neptune rarely have significantly different impact-generated luminosities at any given time. Uranus and Neptune most likely have structural differences that force them to cool and contract at different rates.

description: The debate of athletics versus academics has been at the forefront of intercollegiate athletics for many years (Sack, 2009). Many wonder if the two are innately mutually exclusive, or whether a balance can exist (Ridpath, 2008). Guided by resiliency theory, former baseball, men's basketball, and football student-athletes who graduated or left the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between 2004 and 2012 were surveyed to gain insight into how athletics and academic interact in the education, personal growth, and professional futures of student-athletes. Overall, participants indicated having an overwhelmingly positive experience that enhanced their quality of life. The results of this study add valuable research that is needed to gain a greater understanding of how participation in intercollegiate athletics affects the overall well-being of former student-athletes.

description: Developing behavioral policies designed to efficiently solve target-search problems is a crucial issue both in nature and in the nanotechnology of the 21st century. Here, we characterize the target-search strategies of simple microswimmers in a homogeneous environment containing sparse targets of unknown positions. The microswimmers are capable of controlling their dynamics by switching between Brownian motion and an active Brownian particle and by selecting the time duration of each of the two phases. The specific conduct of a single microswimmer depends on an internal decision-making process determined by a simple neural network associated with the agent itself. Starting from a population of individuals with random behavior, we exploit the genetic algorithm NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies to show how an evolutionary pressure based on the target-search performances of single individuals helps to find the optimal duration of the two different phases. Our findings reveal that the optimal policy strongly depends on the magnitude of the particle's self-propulsion during the active phase and that a broad spectrum of network topology solutions exists, differing in the number of connections and hidden nodes.

description: This text proposes a fast, rapidly convergent Nyström method for the solution of the Lippmann-Schwinger integral equation that mathematically models the scattering of time-harmonic acoustic waves by inhomogeneous obstacles, while allowing the material properties to jump across the interface. The method works with overlapping coordinate charts as a description of the given scatterer. In particular, it employs "partitions of unity" to simplify the implementation of high-order quadratures along with suitable changes of parametric variables to analytically resolve the singularities present in the integral operator to achieve desired accuracies in approximations. To deal with the discontinuous material interface in a high-order manner, a specialized quadrature is used in the boundary region. The approach further utilizes an FFT based strategy that uses equivalent source approximations to accelerate the evaluation of large number of interactions that arise in the approximation of the volumetric integral operator and thus achieves a reduced computational complexity of $O(N \log N)$ for an $N$-point discretization. A detailed discussion on the solution methodology along with a variety of numerical experiments to exemplify its performance in terms of both speed and accuracy are presented in this paper.

description: Die Untersuchungsergebnisse von drei Sedimentproben aus Befunden in einer vom 6. bis zum 1. Jh. v. Chr. bestehenden Siedlung in Kobern-Sürzerhof „Morsweiden“, Kr. Mayen-Koblenz, erlauben einen Einblick in die landwirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse, insbesondere in das Spektrum der Kulturpflanzen ihrer Bewohner. An Fundstelle 85, die ca. 250–150 v. Chr. datiert wird, traten 6 541 Pflanzenbelege zutage. In den Proben von Fundstelle 83 aus der Zeit 150–100 v. Chr. konnten 8 180 archäobotanische Funde geborgen werden. Die Hauptgetreide bilden Dinkel, Emmer und Einkorn, wobei keine sichere Aussage darüber möglich ist, ob sie eigenständig oder in einem Mischanbau kultiviert wurden. Druschreste der genannten Getreide liegen vor, allerdings in geringen Mengen. Der deutlich höhere Anteil von Kolbenhirse im Vergleich zu Echter Hirse ist zeitlich und örtlich nicht singulär, jedoch bemerkenswert. Die geringe Anzahl der Gerstenbelege überrascht in den vorliegenden Zeitstellungen. Vertreter der Öl- und Faserpflanzen kommen mit Leindotter und Lein nur in der älteren Ablagerung vor. Dies kann erhaltungsbedingte Gründe haben und sollte nicht zu dem Schluss verleiten, dass sie in der Spätlatènezeit nicht mehr kultiviert wurden. In der älter datierten Probe dominiert Linse bei den bestimmbaren Hülsenfrüchten leicht über Erbse; hingegen fehlt sie in der jünger datierten, die Ackerbohne aufweist. Die in dieser Zeit übliche Linsenwicke ist in allen drei Proben präsent. Nachweise von Sammelpflanzen sind selten, was aber als Folge ihrer Ablagerungschancen ihre Bedeutung nicht widerspiegelt. Die zahlenmäßig nicht sehr häufigen Unkrautbelege ermöglichen Rückschlüsse auf Agrartechniken und Bodenqualitäten.

Dithmarschen/Schleswig-Holstein – Die Bronzezeit und ihre Fernkontakte

description: Gesichtsurnen sind ein Phänomen der späten Bronze- und frühen Eisenzeit in Nord- und Mitteleuropa. Trotz unterschiedlicher Ausgestaltung der einzelnen Gesichtsmerkmale können die Gesichtsurnen dieser Zeitperiode als ein einheitliches Phänomen verstanden werden. Dabei ist die Verbreitung dieses Phänomens keineswegs flächig: Es finden sich Konzentrationen von anthropomorphisierten Urnen in einzelnen Regionen, die in weiträumige Austauschnetzwerke eingebunden sind. Auch Dithmarschen weist eine solche Konzentration wahrend der späten Bronzezeit auf. Dies ändert sich mit der beginnenden Eisenzeit.

description: For humans, the inability to identify safety is a hallmark of anxiety, which is linked to poor health (Felger, 2018) and psychological outcomes (Mennin et al., 2005). Existing computational accounts fail to explain why individuals suffering from anxiety have difficulty identifying safety. This lack of understanding may be due, in part, to existing focus on threat processes with an assumption that safety is an inverse of threat. This perspective presumes that deficits in safety recognition are a result of threat overestimation, but fails to consider circumstances in which threat is accurately estimated, but safety is unrecognized. Safety may instead reflect independent computations related to the self that mediate threat estimates (Tashjian et al., 2021). The proposed research partitions the complexity of safety recognition into two main evaluative components: an external focus on threat and an internal focus on self-competence. Empirical investigations of safety processing are lacking, and for the few that exist, metacognition (the internal assessment of one’s ability to achieve a desired outcome) is not evaluated. However, metacognition is likely crucial given poor metacognition can impair perceptual judgment and error integration, which may ultimately influence safety estimations (Rigoni et al., 2013). Identifying internal contributors to safety underestimation has significant potential to improve treatment efficacy for anxiety disorders. Nearly 50% of clinically anxious individuals do not fully respond to treatment focused on external threat responsivity (Ginsburg et al., 2018). Thus, safety learning may provide an alternative pathway for reducing anxiety in those resistant to threat-based treatment. The current project aims to develop a computational account of safety learning to increase precision in the treatment of anxiety. Findings will shed light on the component and interactive processes by which threat perception and metacognition contribute to anxiety.

Towards 2+4 formulation of M5-brane

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We present an attempt to formulate an action for the worldvolume theory of a single M5-brane, based on the splitting of the six worldvolume directions into 2+4, which breaks manifest Lorentz invariance from $SO(1,5)$ to $SO(1,1)\times SO(4)$. To this end, an action for the free six--dimensional (2,0) chiral tensor multiplet, and separately, a nonlinearly interacting chiral 2-form action are constructed. By studying the Lagrangian formulation for the chiral 2-form with 2+4 splitting, it is suggested that, if exists, the modified diffeomorphism of the theory on curved six--dimensional space--time is less trivial than its 1+5 and 3+3 counterpart, thus hindering the coupling of the chiral 2-form to the induced metric on the worldvolume of the M5-brane. We discuss difficulties of further generalisation of the theory. Finally, in terms of Hamiltonian analysis, we show that the naively gauge-fixed failed-PST-covariantised Lagrangian has the correct number of degrees of freedom, and satisfies the hyper--surface deformation algebra.

subject: 340

description: Die strafrechtliche Bewertung einer Tat kann auf den ersten Blick oft völlig anders ausfallen, als sie durch die Gerichte in ständiger Rechtsprechung tatsächlich erfolgt. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist die Interessentheorie zur Abgrenzung des Bankrotttatbestandes (§ 283 StGB) und der Untreue (§ 266 StGB) bei Taten von Organen juristischer Personen, die über § 14 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 StGB der Strafverfolgung unterliegen. Angewandt wird diese Theorie von der Rechtsprechung fast ohne Abweichung seit dem Jahre 1908. Beruhend auf der zuvor erwähnten Abgrenzungsfrage und auf einer einleitenden Schilderung der historischen Entwicklung des Insolvenzstrafrechts im Allgemeinen, stellt die Arbeit den heutigen Sachstand in dieser Streitfrage und dessen praktische Auswirkungen dar. Abschließend nutzt der Autor vor allem die geschichtlichen Erkenntnisse, um die Interessentheorie zu entkräften und einen eigenen objektiv-funktionalen Ansatz zu begründen.
