Host-parasite interactions between the spadefoot toad, Scaphiopus couchii and monogenean, Pseudodiplorchis americanus

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

description: Coevolutionary arms races in host-parasite systems drive the evolution of the host and/or the parasite in different directions depending on what level we investigate the interactions of hosts and parasites. Here, I focused on how parasite-mediated sexual selection may play a role in the maintenance of sexual dichromatism in an anuran-monogenean system. I also investigated whether variation in the host phenotype affects parasite virulence. My findings suggest that color may play an important role in mate choice. Color may function as a redundant indicator of potential mate quality. However, I found evidence that the host environment does not affect parasite growth because low virulence may be favored in this system to increase the chances of transmission regardless of host phenotype.

description: Since 1914, the National Institute of Ancient Drama (Istituto Nazionale del Dramma Antico, INDA, so named since 1927) has presented ancient classical dramas performed at the Greek Theatre of Syracuse. Thanks to the activity of INDA, for more than a century the Greek Theatre of the Sicilian city has been a stage and an agora, a space for representation but also a space that has hosted multiple ideas and contributions related to the issue of the modern readings and reinventions of Greek tragedy. Since 2000, INDA has preserved and valorized the inestimable heritage of classical drama, with all its inheritance and modernity, through annual productions and by offering different plays, interpretations, performers, and staging styles over the years, The contribution presents the register of the plays staged from 1914 to 2024.

description: Using TESS data, we revisited the full properties of 94 Ceti, a system of three stars. The system comprises a main component, a naked-eye F-type star, orbited by two M dwarfs that, in turn, orbit each other. The main component also hosts an exoplanet. The study of this system has the potential of being a testing ground for a better understanding of the chemical evolution in planet-host F-type stars. The importance of chemical transport mechanisms in modelling the F-type star is the key to derive accurate fundamental parameters for all system components. We show the influence and efficiency of considering turbulent mixing and radiative accelerations in the stellar models, which we have recently implemented in MESA. The new updated fundamental properties of the main component will also provide a new age for the M dwarfs, allowing them to be used as benchmarks. Finally, the binary relations inside the system, derived by means of Gaia observations, will make possible an independent measurement of the masses of all the stellar components. In this study, we have extracted new seismic constraints from the TESS light curve of the F-type star. This allows us to update its fundamental properties which differ from previous determinations by about 4% in mass and 15% in age. The properties of the exoplanet are thus improved, showing a 7% difference in the mass compared to previous estimates.
Shocks to the natural order: Euroamerican understandings of the New Madrid earthquakes
Creators: name: Hancock, Jonathan Todd
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: My thesis uses firsthand accounts and early scholarly studies of the New Madrid Earthquakes to investigate the worldviews of a range of Euroamerican observers in the early nineteenth-century United States. Emanating from their epicenter on the Mississippi River in present-day southeastern Missouri, the earthquakes were great and sustained disruptions in nature that frightened and fascinated all sectors of the North American populace. Regardless of one's geographical or social location, observation and empiricism became the vehicles for negotiating the chaos in nature. The widespread Christian conversions in the western territories constituted one means of making sense of the disaster, but backcountry thinkers' observations and interpretations show that trans-Appalachian communities were not merely revivalistic release valves opposing the rationalism and faithful empiricism that early national elites embraced. Euroamericans instead drew from porous systems of scientific and religious knowledge and personal observations to construct their own empirical earthquake analyses.

description: Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) have unique properties which benefit athlete populations. The literature investigating NCAA collegiate, rugby sevens and German endurance athletes indicates suboptimal n-3 PUFA dietary intake and biological status. The aims of this study were: (i) to explore the dietary intakes and FA profiles of elite level, team-based, female athletes and (ii) to understand perceived barriers towards achieving n-3 dietary guidelines. A total of 35 athletes (24.8 ± 4.5 years) completed both a questionnaire and a finger prick test. All the participants reported consuming fish and seafood over the previous six months however only nine athletes consumed ≥ 2 servings of fish per week. Four participants reported using an n-3 supplement. The mean omega-3 index (O3I; including supplementers) was below target levels of >8% (5.19 ± 0.86%). O3I was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in those consuming ≥ 2 servings of fish per week and/or supplements (5.91 ± 0.81%) compared with those who did not (4.82 ± 0.63%). The main barriers reported by those not consuming two servings of fish per week were sensory (n = 11; 42%), cooking skills (n = 10; 38%) and knowledge of n-3 benefits (n = 7; 27%). The current study shows that elite level female athletes present with suboptimal n-3 dietary intake and O3I due to their food preferences, cooking skills and n-3 knowledge.

description: Inside-out tracking is growing popular in consumer VR, enhancing accessibility. It uses HMD camera data and neural networks for effective hand tracking. However, limited user experience studies have compared this method to traditional controllers, with no consensus on the optimal control technique. This paper investigates the impact of control methods and gaming duration on VR user experience, hypothesizing hand tracking might be preferred for short sessions and by users new to VR due to its simplicity. Through a lab study with twenty participants, evaluating presence, emotional response, UX quality, and flow, findings revealed control type and session length affect user experience without significant interaction. Controllers were generally superior, attributed to their reliability, and longer sessions increased presence and realism. The study found that individuals with more VR experience were more inclined to recommend hand tracking to others, which contradicted predictions.

description: Experimental and numerical studies of a temporal evolution of a light bullet formed in isotropic LiF by Mid IR femtosecond pulse (2500 to 3250 nm) of power, slightly exceeding the critical power for self-focusing, are presented. For the first time regular oscillations of the light bullet intensity during its propagation in a filament were registered by investigation of induced color centers in LiF. It was revealed that color centers in a single laser pulse filament have a strictly periodic structure with a length of separate sections about 30 mcm, which increases with a laser pulse wavelength decreasing. It was shown that the origin of light bullet modulation is a periodical change of the light field amplitude of an extremely compressed single cycle wave packet in a filament, due to the difference of the wave packet group velocity and the carrier wave phase velocity.

Programmatic and non-programmatic party-voter linkages in two institutionalized party systems: Chile and Uruguay in comparative perspective
Creators: name: Luna Fariña, Juan Pablo
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Failures in political representation are a key hindrance to the quality of democracy in Latin America, and the degree to which parties link to voters on a programmatic basis is crucial for the quality of representation. This dissertation analyzes the nature of party-voter linkages in two highly institutionalized party-systems of the region: Chile and Uruguay. Both cases should produce high-quality representation given certain important preconditions: partisan capacities, democratic contestation opportunities, and potential for grievance mobilization. However, this work shows that even in these best case scenarios the possibilities for structuring programmatic representation in contemporary Latin America are low. I explain differences in political representation through a framework of conjunctural causation that incorporates the long-term evolution of social and state structures into the analysis of party-systems and party-voter linkage configurations. Performing a multi-level comparison combining survey research and extensive fieldwork in paired-sample districts representing divergent causal configurations, I explain predominant linkage configurations in each country and district. My evidence shows that: a) while in the 1990s programmatic linkages have weakened in Chile, they have strengthened in Uruguay; b) significant levels of socioeconomic segmentation of programmatic linkages exist in Chile with upper classes linking to parties according to their programmatic preferences, while low-educated voters present extreme programmatic confusion and a combination of alienation from politics and instances of strongly localized, non-partisan (personalized), and non-programmatic linkages with candidates (financed by private-sector contributions, illegal municipal contracting, or focalized social policy); c) in Uruguay, economic crises have weakened traditional parties' clientelistic machines, reinforcing discontent with both parties and generating the opportunity for the leftwing Frente Amplio to grow by programmatically opposing neoliberal reforms; d) nonetheless, in a relatively favorable systemic context, a weaker pattern of segmented linkage strategies also emerged in Uruguay. Institutional and elite-centered analyses have predominated in the literature on political representation. The main theoretical contribution of this work is to bring society and informal institutions 'back in' to the analysis. This provides a more comprehensive understanding of the complex combination of variables that interact --usually over a long period of time--to cause different patterns of "representation" in a given society.

subject: Critical incident stress management (CISM)

description: The genesis of this study was an interest in the psychological support services provided to firefighters post-incident and disaster. Firefighters are considered to be at high risk of physical and psychological sequelae to their jobs because they routinely face risks and work in conditions that are beyond the norm of most occupations and trades. How do they recover from these traumatic events and carry on with their jobs and lives? What processes, skills, or knowledge do firefighters rely on to protect them when they face overwhelming events? How do they decompress when their fire tasks are completed? The purpose of this research study is to ascertain if, in the selected fire departments, does CISM work? If so, what works and how do we know? My hypothesis is: CISM works. As well, it is anticipated that participants will report stress symptoms are decreased or mitigated by talking to others about their reactions and coping strategies. The null hypothesis is that CISM does not work; hence, there would be no decrease in symptoms of stress.

description: Cosmography represents an important branch of cosmology which aims to describe the universe without the need of postulating \emph{a priori} any particular cosmological model. All quantities of interest are expanded as a Taylor series around here and now, providing in principle, a way of directly matching with cosmological data. In this way, cosmography can be regarded a model-independent technique, able to fix cosmic bounds, although several issues limit its use in various model reconstructions. The main purpose of this review is to focus on the key features of cosmography, emphasising both the strategy for obtaining the observable cosmographic series and pointing out any drawbacks which might plague the standard cosmographic treatment. In doing so, we relate cosmography to the most relevant cosmological quantities and to several dark energy models. We also investigate whether cosmography is able to provide information about the form of the cosmological expansion history, discussing how to reproduce the dark fluid from the cosmographic sound speed. Following this, we discuss limits on cosmographic priors and focus on how to experimentally treat cosmographic expansions. Finally, we present some of the latest developments of the cosmographic method, reviewing the use of rational approximations, based on cosmographic Padé polynomials. Future prospects leading to more accurate cosmographic results, able to better reproduce the expansion history of the universe are also discussed in detail.

description: Recent ALMA images of HL Tau show gaps in the dusty disk that may be caused by planetary bodies. Given the young age of this system, if confirmed, this finding would imply very short timescales for planet formation, probably in a gravitationally unstable disk. To test this scenario, we searched for young planets by means of direct imaging in the L'-band using the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer mid-infrared camera. At the location of two prominent dips in the dust distribution at ~70AU (~0.5") from the central star we reach a contrast level of ~7.5mag. We did not detect any point source at the location of the rings. Using evolutionary models we derive upper limits of ~10-15MJup at <=0.5-1Ma for the possible planets. With these sensitivity limits we should have been able to detect companions sufficiently massive to open full gaps in the disk. The structures detected at mm-wavelengths could be gaps in the distributions of large grains on the disk midplane, caused by planets not massive enough to fully open gaps. Future ALMA observations of the molecular gas density profile and kinematics as well as higher contrast infrared observations may be able to provide a definitive answer.

description: We report on the magnetic properties of Fe and Co adatoms on a Cu$_{2}$N/Cu(100)-$c(2 \times 2)$ surface investigated by x-ray magnetic dichroism measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations including the local coulomb interaction. We compare these results with properties formerly deduced from STM spin excitation spectroscopy (SES) performed on the individual adatoms. In particular we focus on the values of the local magnetic moments determined by XMCD compared to the expectation values derived from the description of the SES data.The angular dependence of the projected magnetic moments along the magnetic field, as measured by XMCD, can be understood on the basis of the SES Hamiltonian. In agreement with DFT, the XMCD measurements show large orbital contributions to the total magnetic moment for both magnetic adatoms.

description: We establish sharp Sobolev inequalities of order four on Euclidean d-balls for d greater than or equal to four. When d=4, our inequality generalizes the classical second order Lebedev-Milin inequality on Euclidean 2-balls. Our method relies on the use of scattering theory on hyperbolic d-balls. As an application, we charcaterize the extremals of the main term in the log-determinant formula corresponding to the conformal Laplacian coupled with the boundary Robin operator on Euclidean 4-balls.

description: Momentum-space azimuthal harmonic event planes (EP) are constructed from final-state midrapidity particles binned in transverse momentum (pT ) in sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV Au+Au collisions in a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model. The EP correlations between pT bins, corrected by EP resolutions, are smaller than unity. This indicates that the EP's decorrelate over pT in AMPT, qualitatively consistent with data and hydrodynamic calculations. It is further found that the EP correlations approximately factorize into single pT-bin EP correlations to a common plane. This common plane appears to be the momentum-space EP integrated over all pT, not the configuration space participant plane (PP).

description: Blended Learning (BL) is the integration of classroom learning with an online environment. The purpose of this study was to determine whether dental students who experience BL in a preclinical Endodontic course could demonstrate better manual skills, conceptual knowledge, and learning experience compared to those utilizing traditional learning. Students (n=81) were assigned to either traditional or BL groups. A root canal procedure was used to determine the level of manual skills gained by each group. Pre and post-assessment quizzes were given to all students to evaluate conceptual knowledge gain. The student perspectives were evaluated using a Qualtrics survey. The BL group scored better than the traditional group on the manual skills exercise at a statistically significant level. There were no differences in the post-quiz scores between the two groups. Students’ opinions were positive regarding BL. With BL, students were able to learn and demonstrate dental skills at a high level.

Gauge-invariant approach to quark dynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main aspects of a gauge-invariant approach to the description of quark dynamics in the nonperturbative regime of QCD are first reviewed. In particular, the role of the parallel transport operation in constructing gauge-invariant Green's functions is presented, and the relevance of Wilson loops for the representation of the interaction is emphasized. Recent developments, based on the use of polygonal lines for the parallel transport operation, are then presented. An integro-differential equation is obtained for the quark Green's function defined with a phase factor along a single, straight line segment. It is solved exactly and analytically in the case of two-dimensional QCD in the large $N_c$ limit. The solution displays the dynamical mass generation phenomenon for quarks, with an infinite number of branch-cut singularities that are stronger than simple poles.

Learning New Skills in Practice: Surgeons Adopting and Integrating New Procedures

description: Surgeons regularly make changes in their practice to ensure they are providing high quality patient care. This includes the process of learning and safely integrating new skills, techniques and technologies into practice. When faced with the challenge of integrating a new surgical procedure into practice, surgeons must determine when they are ready to overcome the associated risks. This study sought to understand how surgeons experience risk when learning and integrating a new procedure into practice. A modified constructivist, grounded theory approach was utilized. Eighteen surgeons were purposively sampled from two Canadian academic medical institutions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and interpreted through constant comparative analysis. Emergent themes were identified and a conceptual framework was developed for understanding the surgeon experience associated with adopting and integrating a new procedure into practice. Regardless of personal risk tolerance, surgeons described a similar approach to learning and implementing new skills. The experience of risk was one of several factors that affected their adoption of new techniques. They also described being influenced by individual, personality-driven factors, logistical considerations and the culture inherent to their departmental, institutional, professional and societal contexts. A framework for understanding the surgeon experience when adopting and integrating new skills was constructed. The complex, nuanced multifactorial interplay between a surgeon’s individual willingness to engage risk, his/her motivations and the systemic and cultural factors that serve to facilitate or hinder the implementation of a new surgical skill is at the core of this experience. An increased awareness of these factors highlights the challenges that surgeon face in adopting new procedures and may lead to the development of policies which support surgeons learning and implementing new skills, techniques and technologies while maximizing patient safety.
ERP Indices of Attentional Disengagement and Filtering Following Reflexive Attentional Capture

description: The goal of this study was dissociate the mechanism of target selection when distractor suppression is required from spatial disengagement and reorienting. Specifically, we aimed to elicit and compare online event-related potential (ERP) indices of these attention mechanisms, the N2pc, IIN and P4pc. Combining the classic spatial cuing paradigm with a modified visual search design allowed the comparison of these components when attention was either reflexively oriented to the location of an upcoming target, or was reflexively captured to the opposite visual field, requiring disengagement and reorienting to the target. Reaction times and early sensory processing ERP components indicated that attention was reflexively captured by the cue, extending established reflexive attention effects from simple cuing paradigms to visual search. The ERP results suggest that the N2pc reliably indexes the direction of spatial attention, but is not an appropriate marker of the shifting of spatial attention. Significant IIN and P4pc components were found only for conditions requiring disengagement, suggesting that both may reflect the disengagement and reorienting of attention, indexing these mechanisms better than the N2pc.
Double self-Kerr scheme for optical Schrödinger-cat state preparation

description: We propose a scheme to prepare optical Schrödinger-cat states in a traveling wave setting. Two states are similarly prepared via the self-Kerr effect and after mixing them, one mode is measured by homodyne detection. In the other mode a superposition of coherent states is conditionally prepared. The advantage of the scheme is that assuming a small Kerr effect one can prepare with high probability one from a set of Schrödinger-cat states. The measured value of the quadrature provides the information, which state from the set is actually prepared.
