anonymization

description: A variety of conditions and limiting properties complicate the anonymization of trajectory data, since they are sequential, high-dimensional, bound to geophysical restrictions and eas-ily mapped to semantic points of interest and regions with known properties like suburban neighborhoods, industrial areas or city-centers. Learning the places where one has been is extremely privacy-invasive. However, analyzing real trajectories holds numerous promises, ranging from better informed traffic management, to location recommendations or computational social science, infrastructure and even urban development planning. The aim of this paper is to establish various challenges, stemming from ideas and also limitations of existing proposals for the anonymization of trajectories, and subsequently identify research opportunities. Keeping both utility and privacy challenges prominent, we sketch the way towards establishing a useful research framework and propose possible research venues towards privacy-preserving trajectory publication.

description: We present an initial report on 160 simulations of a highly simplified model of the post-bounce core-collapse supernova environment in three spatial dimensions (3D). We set different values of a parameter characterizing the impact of nuclear dissociation at the stalled shock in order to regulate the post-shock fluid velocity, thereby determining the relative importance of convection and the stationary accretion shock instability (SASI). While our convection-dominated runs comport with the paradigmatic notion of a `critical neutrino luminosity' for explosion at a given mass accretion rate (albeit with a nontrivial spread in explosion times just above threshold), the outcomes of our SASI-dominated runs are much more stochastic: a sharp threshold critical luminosity is `smeared out' into a rising probability of explosion over a $\sim 20\%$ range of luminosity. We also find that the SASI-dominated models are able to explode with 3 to 4 times less efficient neutrino heating, indicating that progenitor properties, and fluid and neutrino microphysics, conducive to the SASI would make the neutrino-driven explosion mechanism more robust.

description: Although interest in yoga programs in school settings for children on the autism spectrum is gaining momentum, the literature on this topic focusing on school-based interventions has not yet been synthesized. Therefore, the main objective of this scoping study is to identify and chart the research that has been conducted related to yoga interventions for children and youth on the autism spectrum in school-based settings. Our primary objectives were: (1) to explore the role of yoga therapy in school-based settings for children and youth on the autism spectrum; and (2) to map out the extent and range of existing studies in this area. Mapping the extant literature on this research will provide insight into the extent and range of such programs. The scoping review will be carried out in accordance with the registered protocol and followed the Joanna Briggs Institute framework for conducting scoping reviews (Peters et al., 2020). Characteristics from relevant studies will be extracted using PRISMA-ScR Group guidelines for the Preferred Reporting Items for Scoping Reviews (Tricco et al., 2018). A strength of this review is that it will represent an important first step in summarizing what is currently known about yoga as an alternative intervention delivered within the school environment for children with ASD.

description: We study the realization of slow-roll inflation in $\mathcal N = 1$ supergravities where inflation is the result of the evolution of a single chiral field. When there is only one flat direction in field space, it is possible to derive a single-field effective field theory parametrized by the sound speed $c_s$ at which curvature perturbations propagate during inflation. The value of $c_s$ is determined by the rate of bend of the inflationary path resulting from the shape of the $F$-term potential. We show that $c_s$ must respect an inequality that involves the curvature tensor of the Kahler manifold underlying supergravity, and the ratio $M/H$ between the mass $M$ of fluctuations ortogonal to the inflationary path, and the Hubble expansion rate $H$. This inequality provides a powerful link between observational constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity and information about the $\mathcal N = 1$ supergravity responsible for inflation. In particular, the inequality does not allow for suppressed values of $c_s$ (values smaller than $c_s \sim 0.4$) unless (a) the ratio $M/H$ is of order 1 or smaller, and (b) the fluctuations of mass $M$ affect the propagation of curvature perturbations by inducing on them a nonlinear dispersion relation during horizon crossing. Therefore, if large non-Gaussianity is observed, supergravity models of inflation would be severely constrained.

Free Farm Produce in the Outpatient Psychiatry Waiting Room: A Feasibility Study
Creators: name: Shen, Jenny
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Background: People with mental illness suffer worse physical health and die significantly earlier than do those in the general population. Preventable cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among this patient population. There is inadequate access to minimally disruptive health services tailored for the psychiatric patient population. Methods: The intervention brings free vegetables and eggs from the Farm at Penny Lane (Pittsboro, NC) to a local outpatient mental health clinic (Carrboro, NC). The intervention also incorporates education on healthy eating for patients in the clinic waiting room. Using observational data and survey data, I collected feedback on the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention from patients, clinic staff, farm staff, and medical students. Results: All stakeholders rated the service favorably. Suggestions for improvement included organizing recipe demonstrations, recruiting more volunteers to help at the farm, and providing more bags for patients to carry the produce. Medical students noted lack of time to be the main obstacle to helping implement the intervention. Conclusion: While the intervention received favorable feedback, more rigorous effectiveness research will help better characterize the specific strengths of the intervention and their effects on long-term health outcomes. Future iterations may consider adding more research personnel and employing a different research design. Researchers interested in pursuing such interventions will need to consider the culture of the study community, existing infrastructure and resources, and research designs that will best fit the main objective of their study.

description: With 3D sensing becoming cheaper, environment-aware and visually-guided robot arms capable of safely working in collaboration with humans will become common. However, a reliable calibration is needed, both for camera internal calibration, as well as Eye-to-Hand calibration, to make sure the whole system functions correctly. We present a framework, using a novel combination of well proven methods, allowing a quick automatic calibration for the integration of systems consisting of the robot and a varying number of 3D cameras by using a standard checkerboard calibration grid. Our approach allows a quick camera-to-robot recalibration after any changes to the setup, for example when cameras or robot have been repositioned. Modular design of the system ensures flexibility regarding a number of sensors used as well as different hardware choices. The framework has been proven to work by practical experiments to analyze the quality of the calibration versus the number of positions of the checkerboard used for each of the calibration procedures.

description: Clinical research is an increasingly important aspect of medical practice resulting in benefits believed to be most pronounced at the level of the patient. The Lay Health Advisor model has been identified as a useful modality for medical health education in historically difficult to access communities. At present there is a paucity of information concerning how the Lay Health Advisor model may be used to impact clinical research in hard to reach communities and even less information concerning the training of Lay Health Advisors used in this capacity. This paper attempts to assess the training of Lay Health Advisors called Community Research Advocates with pre and post questionnaires concerning their general knowledge about the clinical research process.

Magnetization induced by odd-frequency spin-triplet Cooper pairs in a Josephson junction with metallic trilayers

description: We theoretically study the magnetization inside a normal metal induced in an s-wave superconductor/ferromagnetic metal/normal metal/ferromagnetic metal/s-wave superconductor (S/F1/N/F2/S) Josephson junction. Using quasiclassical Green's function method, we show that the magnetization becomes finite inside N. The origin of this magnetization is due to odd-frequency spin-triplet Cooper pairs formed by electrons of equal and opposite spins, which are induced by proximity effect in the S/F1/N/F2/S junction. We find that the magnetization M(d,q) in N can be decomposed into two parts, M(d,q)=MI(d)+MII(d,q), where q is the superconducting phase difference between two Ss and d is the thickness of N. MI(d) exists generally in S/F junctions, while MII(d,q) carries all q dependence and represents the fingerprint of phase coherence between two Ss in Josephson junctions. The q dependence thus allows us to control the magnetization in N by tuning q for a fixed d. We show that MI(d) weakly decreases with increasing d, while the q dependent magnetization MII(d,q) rapidly decays with d. Moreover, we find that the time-averaged magnetization exhibits discontinuous peak at each resonance DC voltage Vn=nhw_S/2e(n: integer) when DC voltage V as well as AC voltage v_ac(t) with frequency w_S are both applied to the S/F1/N/F2/S junction. This is because MII(d,q) oscillates generally in time t (AC magnetization) with dq/dt=2e[V+v_ac(t)]/h and thus =0, but can be converted into the time-independent DC magnetization for DC voltage at Vn. We also discuss that the magnetization induced in N can be measurably large in realistic systems. Therefore, the measurement of the induced magnetization serves as an alternative way to detect the phase coherence between two Ss in Josephson junctions. Our results also provide a basic concept for tunable magnetization in superconducting spintronics devices.

description: Improving the quality of care of nursing home residents is a constant concern. Due to the recent rollout of the national Nursing Home Quality Improvement Initiative by the Centers for Medicaid Medicare Services (CMS), consumers can find out specific quality information for nursing homes at the national and state level. The CMS website, http://www.medicare.gov, provides information about individual nursing homes, specific quality measure information (which includes bar graphs comparing facilities across the nation and at the state level), inspection results from the facility's state survey and/or complaint investigations, and finally, the website provides information about nursing staff. This quality measure information on the website, Nursing Home Compare, is updated every three months. State survey results and staffing information is updated annually. The public reporting of this data is not only useful for consumers in selecting a nursing home for their loved ones, but providers can use this quality measurement information as a way of improving the quality of care they are providing.

description: With the upgrade of the LHC, the couplings of the observed Higgs particle to fermions and gauge bosons will be measured with a much higher experimental accuracy than current measurements, but will still be limited by an order 10% theoretical uncertainty. In this paper, we re-emphasize the fact that the ratio of Higgs signal rates into two photons and four leptons, $D_{γγ}= σ(pp\to H \to γγ)/σ(pp\to H \to ZZ^* \to 4\ell^\pm)$ can be made free of these ambiguities. Its measurement would be limited only by the statistical and systematic errors, which can in principle be reduced to the percent level at a high-luminosity LHC. This decay ratio would then provide a powerful probe of new physics effects in addition to high precision electroweak observables or the muon g-2. As an example, we show that the Higgs couplings to top quarks and vector bosons can be constrained at the percent level and that new Higgs or supersymmetric particles that contribute to the H$γγ$ loop can be probed up to masses in the multi-TeV range and possibly larger than those accessible directly.

Integrating Palliative Care in Medicaid Primary Care in North Carolina: An Educational and Quality Improvement Initiative
Creators: name: Beyea, Annette
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Background: Hospice and palliative care (PC) remain underutilized by Medicaid patients. Objective: To evaluate an intervention to improve communication about advance care planning (ACP) and symptom distress, and facilitate referral to PC and hospice. Setting: Statewide Medicaid primary care network. Subjects: 510 Medicaid care managers (CM) Measurements: PC experts collaborated with leaders in a statewide primary care network on a quality improvement intervention. Training components included education and engagement with local hospice and PC providers. Quality improvement components included feedback of quality measures and a practice toolkit. Evaluation used participant surveys and tracking of key quality measures: 1) percent of at-risk subset of aged, blind, and disabled (ABD) Medicaid patients asked about ACP or symptom distress, 2) cumulative number of ABD Medicaid PC or hospice referrals, and 3) the percent of all non-dual ABD Medicaid decedents enrolled in hospice. Results: After training, CM identified the following areas for expected practice change: ACP (29%); identifying/referring patients for hospice or PC (25%); supporting patients and families (21%); toolkit utilization (10%); and engaging medical providers (10%). Over one year follow-up the percent of moderate and high risk ABD Medicaid patients asked about ACP or symptoms increased from 7% to 31% and 8% to 41%, respectively (p<0.001). The cumulative number of PC or hospice referrals increased from 8 to 155. Hospice enrollment at death was unchanged (29% to 30%, p=NS). Conclusions: A statewide intervention targeting CM in a Medicaid primary care practice network is effective to increase communication and hospice and PC referrals; longer follow-up may be required to determine effect on hospice use.

Characterizing flowability of granular materials by onset of jamming in orifice flows
Creators: name: Mort, Paul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper describes methods to measure flow rate and jamming onset of granules discharged through a flat-bottom cylindrical hopper with a circular orifice. The intrinsic jamming onset for ideal particles (spherical, monodisperse, smooth) is experimentally measured by two independent methods, with good agreement. For non-ideal particles, the normalized jamming onset increases with elongated granule shape, broadened size distribution and increased friction as measured by the drained angle of repose. An empirical model of the jamming onset is introduced to quantify these effects over the range of materials investigated. The jamming onset can be used as a measure of differentiation between relatively free-flowing granules.

Half of the flares were associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The goal of our survey is to assess the frequency of hot flux ropes in large flares irrespective of their formation time relative to the onset of eruptions. The flux ropes were identified in 131 A images using morphological criteria and their high temperatures were confirmed by their absence in the cooler 171 and 304 A passbands. We found hot flux ropes in 45 of our events (32% of the flares); 11 of them were associated with confined flares while the remaining 34 were associated with eruptive flares. Therefore almost half (49%) of the eruptive events involved a hot flux rope configuration. The use of supplementary Hinode X-Ray Telescope (XRT) data indicates that these percentages should be considered as lower limits of the actual rates of occurrence of hot flux ropes in large flares.

description: The prediction of the fiber orientation state (FOS) is of utmost interest for compression molded long fiber reinforced thermoplastics as the part's properties strongly depend on it. Besides the position of the initial plastificate in the mold cavity and the process settings, detailed knowledge of the initial FOS is essential. During compounding, the fibers align depending on the extruder screw configuration yielding a non-uniform local FOS. For process simulation, a common approach is to neglect this effect and assume an isotropic or planar-isotropic FOS of the initial plastificate. A more sophisticated approach consists of micro-computed tomography (µCT-) scans of slices of the initial plastificate and the derivation of the initial FOS from the three-dimensional image data. This approach can yield accurate predictions but is quite cumbersome and expensive. In this paper, we present a novel approach to account for the FOS of the initial plastificate. The approach is motivated by experimental observations and based on geometric assumptions. Depending on the extruder type and the dimensions of the initial plastificate, the developed tool generates a three-dimensional data set containing the mesh information alongside the initial FOS in a tensorial representation. To investigate the influence of the initial FOS for different flow regimes, we conducted compression molding simulations on a planar part.

description: Doubly special relativity (DSR) is an effective model for encoding quantum gravity in flat spacetime. As a result of the nonlinearity of the Lorentz transformation, the energy-momentum dispersion relation is modified. One simple way to import DSR to curved spacetime is \textquotedblleft Gravity's rainbow", where the spacetime background felt by a test particle would depend on its energy. Focusing on the \textquotedblleft Amelino-Camelia dispersion relation" which is $E^{2}=m^{2}+p^{2}\left[ 1-η\left( E/m_{p}\right) ^{n}\right] $ with $n>0$, we investigate the thermodynamical properties of a Schwarzschild black hole and a static uncharged black string for all possible values of $η$ and $n$ in the framework of rainbow gravity. It shows that there are non-vanishing minimum masses for these two black holes in the cases with $η<0$ and $n\geq2$. Considering effects of rainbow gravity on both the Hawking temperature and radius of the event horizon, we use the geometric optics approximation to compute luminosities of a 2D black hole, a Schwarzschild one and a static uncharged black string. It is found that the luminosities can be significantly suppressed or boosted depending on the values of $η$ and $n$.

Regulation and Licensure of Certified Professional Midwives: Beneficial for North Carolina?
Creators: name: Knight, Suzanne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: The primary caregiver to women who choose the home setting for birth in the United States is the certified professional midwife. Credentialing is awarded by the North American Registry of Midwives, which is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. Certified professional midwives are legally authorized to practice, licensed, and regulated in twenty-six states, including North Carolina’s neighbor states of Virginia, Tennessee and South Carolina. North Carolina stands out in the Southeastern region of the United States as having limited access to licensed and credentialed midwives to serve women who choose midwifery care during the antepartum period, and the home setting for birth. This restricted access has negative implications for both safety and quality care for women who choose this option. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently reported accelerating rates of planned home birth in the U.S., with North Carolina experiencing one of the largest relative increases. In a hallmark prospective cohort study done in 2000, it was concluded that planned home birth for low risk women in North America, using certified professional midwives, was associated with lower rates of medical intervention, and very similar intrapartum and neonatal mortality rates (1.7 per 1000) to that of low risk women who delivered in hospitals in the United States (Johnson, K.C. Daviss, B., 2005). This issue can be viewed as two-fold: problem-solving and benefit providing. From the problem solving perspective, by licensing and regulating certified professional midwives, North Carolina can address the access to care issue for women who choose home birth. This will minimize the rates of planned unattended home birth, help manage intrapartum transports in emergency cases, and assure that midwives maintain standards of care. From the benefit providing perspective, licensing certified professional midwives in North Carolina can cultivate a lower cost/high quality option for women that is proven to dramatically reduce rates of cesarean section, minimize planned unattended home births and improve access to maternity care in rural areas (North Carolina Friends of Midwives, 2010). Additionally, home-birth families will have the benefit of knowing that their birth attendant is practicing within guidelines and standards that are regulated, while still allowing for a successful, empowering experience. In this paper the action steps necessary for North Carolina to adopt the licensure of certified professional midwives will be outlined. These recommendations are based on a review of the literature, an analysis of the licensing barriers that were overcome by neighboring states, an assessment of the current licensing and practice guidelines, and finally, an examination of the history of midwifery-including the foundation and development of the current NC midwifery classifications.
