Craniofacial Characterization of Patients with Marfan Syndrome
Creators: name: Johnson, Christian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Marfan Syndrome (MFS) is a life-threatening connective tissue disorder with an often elusive diagnosis. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings outlined in the Ghent criteria which define hallmark features of the syndrome in the cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal systems. The morbidity and mortality associated with MFS warrant timely diagnosis and intervention that can improve long-term prognosis. Previous research has highlighted the diagnostic value of craniofacial features in diagnosis; accordingly the aim of this study was to investigate craniofacial and dentoalveolar features in child, adolescent, and young adult patients with MFS. We hypothesized that a distinct craniofacial morphology exists for patients with MFS that can be described quantitatively and qualitatively. Methods: Twenty subjects with a positive diagnosis of MFS were recruited for this study (N=20). Craniofacial anthropometric measurements were made on each subject and compared to established norms of age- and sex-matched controls. The test measurements were compared to the control measurements by calculating a z-score for each test measurement; the measurements were categorized as normal or abnormal based on z-score. Lateral and frontal photographs were obtained to make qualitative assessments and describe facial features of subjects, and a clinical exam was completed to document occlusal relationships. Biometric and demographic information were obtained using a questionnaire. Results: The subjects were primarily female (60%) ranging in age between 4 to 25 years (mean age 10.7±6.0years). Comparison of craniofacial measurements revealed that for 9 of the 12 measurements, ≥65% of the study population had a z-score of ±2 and fell within the normal range for facial dimension. For 3 of the 12 measurements, over half of the subjects fell outside of the normal range (z-score <-2 or >2) for facial dimension. Assessment of the frontal and lateral photographs revealed the most prevalent facial features were retrognathia (54%) and down-slanting palpebral fissures (62%). For occlusal relationships, 55% of subjects had a Class I molar relationship, 40% a Class II relationship, and 5% a Class III relationship. Conclusion: Our data suggests there are quantitative differences in the facial morphology of patients with MFS when compared to a control population.

Leading-twist parton distribution amplitudes of S-wave heavy-quarkonia

description: The leading-twist parton distribution amplitudes (PDAs) of ground-state $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ $c\bar c$- and $b\bar b$-quarkonia are calculated using a symmetry-preserving continuum treatment of the meson bound-state problem which unifies the properties of these heavy-quark systems with those of light-quark bound-states, including QCD's Goldstone modes. Analysing the evolution of $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ PDAs with current-quark mass, $\hat m_q$, increasing away from the chiral limit, it is found that in all cases there is a value of $\hat m_q$ for which the PDA matches the asymptotic form appropriate to QCD's conformal limit and hence is insensitive to changes in renormalisation scale, $ζ$. This mass lies just above that associated with the $s$-quark. At current-quark masses associated with heavy-quarkonia, on the other hand, the PDAs are piecewise convex-concave-convex. They are much narrower than the asymptotic distribution on a large domain of $ζ$; but nonetheless deviate noticeably from $φ_{Q\bar Q}(x) = δ(x-1/2)$, which is the result in the static-quark limit. There are also material differences between $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ PDAs, and between the PDAs for different vector-meson polarisations, which vanish slowly with increasing $ζ$. An analysis of moments of the root-mean-square relative-velocity, $\langle v^{2m}\rangle$, in $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ systems reveals that $\langle v^4\rangle$-contributions may be needed in order to obtain a reliable estimate of matrix elements using such an expansion, especially for processes involving heavy pseudoscalar quarkonia.

description: In arXiv:1306.2914 a method for approximate solution of Sturm-Liouville equations and related spectral problems was presented based on the construction of the Delsarte transmutation operators. The problem of numerical approximation of solutions was reduced to approximation of a primitive of the potential by a finite linear combination of certain specially constructed functions obtained from the generalized wave polynomials introduced in arXiv:1208.5984 and arXiv:1208.6166. The method allows one to compute both lower and higher eigendata with an extreme accuracy. Since the solution of the approximation problem is the main step in the application of the method, the properties of the system of functions involved are of primary interest. In arXiv:1306.2914 two basic properties were established: the completeness in appropriate functional spaces and the linear independence. In this paper we present a considerably more complete study of the systems of functions. We establish their relation with another linear differential second-order equation, find out certain operations (in a sense, generalized derivatives and antiderivatives) which allow us to generate the next such function from a previous one. We obtain the uniqueness of the coefficients of expansions in terms of such functions and a corresponding generalized Taylor theorem. We construct the invertible integral operators transforming powers of the independent variable into the functions under consideration and establish their commutation relations with differential operators. We present some error bounds for the solution of the approximation problem depending on the smoothness of the potential and show that these error bounds are close to optimal in order. Also, we provide a rigorous justification of the alternative formulation of the proposed method allowing one to make use of the known initial values of the solutions at an endpoint.

description: Conspiracy theories about secret agendas behind vaccination programmes, the side effects of medical treatments, and cover-ups by the government or pharmaceutical industry are prevalent in many countries, and can have highly detrimental and far-reaching effects on people’s wellbeing. For, research and policy-making in public health, it is therefore vital to understand the nature, construction and dissemination of these health conspiracy theories (HCTs). Inspired by the influential ATU index of folktale types, this project presents a typology and example index of international HCTs to be used as a tool to enable researchers to identify and categorise HCTs they come across, and to provide a pool of examples of HCTs which could be used in various fields of research and a paper presenting the index. Also presented are two studies which used the HCT Index as a source of material. The first, a survey of HCT exposure and belief in the UK found that both familiarity and belief were high: 97% of Britons are familiar (having heard the same or similar before) with at least one HCT and 49% of Britons believed that at least one HCT was likely to be true. Demographic influences are also discussed. The second study, a focus group discussion health rumours in rural Sri Lanka, found concerns over threats to fertility as well as how to verify information that falls outside of typical experience.

description: We introduce and study a model of time-dependent billiard systems with billiard boundaries undergoing infinitesimal wiggling motions. The so-called quivering billiard is simple to simulate, straightforward to analyze, and is a faithful representation of time-dependent billiards in the limit of small boundary displacements. We assert that when a billiard's wall motion approaches the quivering motion, deterministic particle dynamics become inherently stochastic. Particle ensembles in a quivering billiard are shown to evolve to a universal energy distribution through an energy diffusion process, regardless of the billiard's shape or dimensionality, and as a consequence universally display Fermi acceleration. Our model resolves a known discrepancy between the one-dimensional Fermi-Ulam model and the simplified static wall approximation. We argue that the quivering limit is the true fixed wall limit of the Fermi-Ulam model.

Remarks: When describing Janaoliva, Sterba & Lorenz (2005) compared it with Olivella, correctly pointing out the very simplified structure of the plication plate, which differs from other subgenera of Olivella. Kantor & Bouchet (2007) overlooked the description of Janaoliva and thus did not compare Olivella amoni with the very similar species Olivellopsis simplex, which they included in Belloliva. The very long branches of both Belloliva and Olivellopsis suggest that they are two separate genera. In the vicinity of Kavieng (New Ireland), the type locality of O. amoni, another similar, although molecularly different species was recently found. Their radulae are similar (Fig. 11C) and are close to the radulae of O. simplex from New Caledonia (Kantor & Bouchet, 2007: Fig. 12A–D). In the light of the new data indicating the presence of a species complex, O. simplex from New Caledonia may be specifically different from O. simplex, the type locality of which is the ‘Paumotus Islands’ (Tuamotu Archipelago), French Polynesia. We also found very similar shells off Madagascar. It is possible that a whole radiation of Olivellopsis will be uncovered by molecular phylogenetics.

description: Functional electrical stimulation leg cycle ergometry (FESLCE), which is often used as exercise for people with spinal cord injury (SCI), has recently been applied in the motor rehabilitation of stroke patients. Recently completed studies show controversial results, but with a tendency to positive training effects. Current technology is identical to that used in FES-LCE for SCI, whereas the pathology of stroke differs strongly. Most stroke patients with hemiparesis are able to drive an ergometer independently. Depending on the degree of spasticity, the paretic leg will partially support or hinder movements. Electrical stimulation increases muscle force and endurance and both are prerequisites for restoring gait. However, the effect of FES-LCE on improving impaired motor coordination is unclear. To measure motor coordination during FES-LCE, an EMG-amplifier design has been investigated which suppresses stimulation artifacts and allows detection of volitional or reflex induced muscle activity. Direct measurement of EMG from stimulation electrodes between stimulation pulses is an important asset of this amplifier. Photo-MOS switches in front of the preamplifier are utilized to achieve this. The technology presented here can be used to monitor the effects of FES-LCE to adapt the stimulation strategy or to realize EMG-biofeedback training.

description: We present new radio measurements of the expansion rate of the Crab nebula's synchrotron nebula over a ~30-yr period. We find a convergence date for the radio synchrotron nebula of CE 1255 +- 27. We also re-evaluated the expansion rate of the optical line emitting filaments, and we show that the traditional estimates of their convergence dates are slightly biased. Using an un-biased Bayesian analysis, we find a convergence date for the filaments of CE 1091 +- 34 (~40 yr earlier than previous estimates). Our results show that both the synchrotron nebula and the optical line-emitting filaments have been accelerated since the explosion in CE 1054, but that the synchrotron nebula has been relatively strongly accelerated, while the optical filaments have been only slightly accelerated. The finding that the synchrotron emission expands more rapidly than the filaments supports the picture that the latter are the result of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the interface between the pulsar-wind nebula and the surrounding freely-expanding supernova ejecta, and rules out models where the pulsar wind bubble is interacting directly with the pre-supernova wind of the Crab's progenitor.

An Analysis of the Relationship Between Athletic Expenditures and National Success of Olympic Sports Teams at NCAA Division I Institutions
Creators: name: Albert, Samuel J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: As the costs associated with sponsoring NCAA Division I athletics increase, it is important that athletic administrators understand the role of money in intercollegiate athletics. The study investigated the relationship between team expenditures and national success in Olympic sports at NCAA Division I institutions. The study examined differences in median operating expenditures for teams at various levels of national success, defined by NCAA Championship tournament finish. It provides an empirical examination of the relationship in seven selected Olympic sports. For each sport, Division I teams were divided into four groups based on national success. The study compared the median expenditures for teams at each level of success to determine whether differences existed. The most successful teams were found to have reported the greatest median operating expenditures. The findings support the existence of a relationship between athletic expenditures and national success in the seven sports examined. Although limited to one academic year (2003-2004) and seven sports, the study indicates that money may be an important factor in athletic success in NCAA Division I athletics

description: Accurate and useful analytic approximations are developed for order parameter profiles and interfacial tensions of phase-separated binary mixtures of Bose-Einstein condensates. The pure condensates 1 and 2, each of which contains a particular species of atoms, feature healing lengths $ξ_1$ and $ξ_2$. The inter-atomic interactions are repulsive. In particular, the effective inter-species repulsive interaction strength is $K$. A triple-parabola approximation (TPA) is proposed, to represent closely the energy density featured in Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) theory. This TPA allows us to define a model, which is a handy alternative to the full GP theory, while still possessing a simple analytic solution. The TPA offers a significant improvement over the recently introduced double-parabola approximation (DPA). In particular, a more accurate amplitude for the wall energy (of a single condensate) is derived and, importantly, a more correct expression for the interfacial tension (of two condensates) is obtained, which describes better its dependence on $K$ in the strong segregation regime, while also the interface profiles undergo a qualitative improvement.

description: We prove the Quantum Null Energy Condition (QNEC), a lower bound on the stress tensor in terms of the second variation in a null direction of the entropy of a region. The QNEC arose previously as a consequence of the Quantum Focussing Conjecture, a proposal about quantum gravity. The QNEC itself does not involve gravity, so a proof within quantum field theory is possible. Our proof is somewhat nontrivial, suggesting that there may be alternative formulations of quantum field theory that make the QNEC more manifest. Our proof applies to free and superrenormalizable bosonic field theories, and to any points that lie on stationary null surfaces. An example is Minkowski space, where any point $p$ and null vector $k^a$ define a null plane $N$ (a Rindler horizon). Given any codimension-2 surface $Σ$ that contains $p$ and lies on $N$, one can consider the von Neumann entropy $S_\text{out}$ of the quantum state restricted to one side of $Σ$. A second variation $S_\text{out}^{\prime\prime}$ can be defined by deforming $Σ$ along $N$, in a small neighborhood of $p$ with area $\cal A$. The QNEC states that $\langle T_{kk}(p) \rangle \ge \frac{\hbar}{2π} \lim_{{\cal A}\to 0}S_\text{out}^{ \prime\prime}/{\cal A}$.

Comparing the vibration of effects due to model, data pre-processing, and sampling uncertainty on a large data set in personality psychology

description: Researchers have great flexibility in the analysis of observational data. If combined with selective reporting and pressure to publish, this flexibility can have devastating consequences on the validity of research findings. We extend the recently proposed vibration of effects approach to provide a framework comparing three main sources of uncertainty which lead to instability in observational associations, namely data pre-processing, model and sampling uncertainty. We analyze their behavior for varying sample sizes for two associations in personality psychology. While all types of vibration show a decrease for increasing sample sizes, data pre-processing and model vibration remain non-negligible, even for a sample of over 80000 participants. The increasing availability of large data sets that are not initially recorded for research purposes can make data pre-processing and model choices very influential. We therefore recommend the framework as a tool for the transparent reporting of the stability of research findings.

description: We discuss a Coulomb gas realization of $n$-point correlation functions in the $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model that is suitable to compute scattering amplitudes of winding strings in 3-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space at tree-level and one-loop. This is a refined version of previously proposed free-field realizations that, among other features, accomplishes to make the $H_3^+$ WZW-Liouville correspondence manifest.

Comparison of Mesiodistal Root Angulation Using Post-Treatment Panoramic Radiographs and Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Creators: name: Bouwens, Daniel G.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this project is to compare mesiodistal root angulations using post-treatment panoramic radiographic images and CBCT scans. Mesiodistal root angulations using panoramic images and cone beam computed tomography scans obtained on 35 orthognathic surgery patients at the completion of orthodontic treatment were compared. Panoramic images were measured using VixWin and NewTom CBCT scans using InvivoDental 3D. The mesiodistal root angulations of each upper and lower tooth were measured using the occlusal plane as the reference line. Using an intercept-only linear regression for correlated data (with an unstructured covariance structure), the global test of whether the mean vector of all the differences for the teeth is zero was performed separately for the maxillary and mandibular arch. The global test for both the maxillary and mandibular arch was statistically significant (P<0.001) indicating an overall difference in root angulation between measures from panoramic and CBCT images.
Social Anxiety Disorder

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by negative self-beliefs and altered brain activation in the default mode network (DMN). However, the extent to which there is neurocognitive heterogeneity in SAD remains unclear. We had two independent samples of patients perform a self-referential encoding task, and complete self-reports of childhood maltreatment, subjective well-being, and emotion regulation. In the replication sample, we also measured DMN activation using functional magnetic resonance imaging. K-means clustering revealed two distinct sub-groups of SAD patients in the discovery sample. Cluster 1 demonstrated higher levels of negative and lower levels of positive self-referential trait endorsement, and significantly higher levels of childhood emotional maltreatment, lower subjective well-being, and altered emotion regulation strategy use. A similar pattern was observed in the replication sample, which further demonstrated higher DMN activation during negative trait judgments in cluster 1. SAD clusters, from the discovery and replication samples, were significantly distinct from samples of healthy controls. These findings reveal neurocognitive heterogeneity in SAD and its relationship to emotional maltreatment.

description: In this experiment we will test whether differences in notional number between 'each', 'every' and 'one' and number attraction influence the computation of subject-verb agreement if the head noun is quantified. The task is a rapid serial visual processing task, in which the participant read a complex noun phrase word-by-word at a constant rate. These noun phrases are PP-constructions in which the head noun is quantified with 'each', 'every' or 'one'. The embedded noun is either a singular or a plural description (as in '{Each/Every/One} key to the cabinet{s}'). Once the full phrase is shown, the participants make a speeded judgement whether this phrase should be continued with the singular verb 'is' or the plural verb 'are'.

description: We design and implement HPMC, a scalable hard particle Monte Carlo simulation toolkit, and release it open source as part of HOOMD-blue. HPMC runs in parallel on many CPUs and many GPUs using domain decomposition. We employ BVH trees instead of cell lists on the CPU for fast performance, especially with large particle size disparity, and optimize inner loops with SIMD vector intrinsics on the CPU. Our GPU kernel proposes many trial moves in parallel on a checkerboard and uses a block-level queue to redistribute work among threads and avoid divergence. HPMC supports a wide variety of shape classes, including spheres / disks, unions of spheres, convex polygons, convex spheropolygons, concave polygons, ellipsoids / ellipses, convex polyhedra, convex spheropolyhedra, spheres cut by planes, and concave polyhedra. NVT and NPT ensembles can be run in 2D or 3D triclinic boxes. Additional integration schemes permit Frenkel-Ladd free energy computations and implicit depletant simulations. In a benchmark system of a fluid of 4096 pentagons, HPMC performs 10 million sweeps in 10 minutes on 96 CPU cores on XSEDE Comet. The same simulation would take 7.6 hours in serial. HPMC also scales to large system sizes, and the same benchmark with 16.8 million particles runs in 1.4 hours on 2048 GPUs on OLCF Titan.

description: This study is concerned with issues of food, ethnic cuisines, and tourism with specific reference to Chinese restaurants in a Middle Eastern country, namely Iran. This study tries to explore the environment surrounding food ethics for a particular cuisine in this country. Findings are based on interviews with managers from local Chinese restaurants. Data collected was thus supplemented by analysis of published materials and personal observations. Challenges involved in setting up and operating Chinese restaurants are identified. The research results also show that some action plans are needed for better understanding of the culture and food in China.
title: Modelling of crack propagation in ductile materials
Creators: name: Tsakmakis, Aris
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2023

description: Crack propagation in ductile materials is a major objective of fracture mechanics with numerous applications in structural analysis and engineering mechanics. The thesis is concerned with two different methods of modelling such issues, which have been employed successfully for problems in elasticity and have drawn attention in the fracture mechanics community in the recent years. The first one utilises the configurational forces approach and considers possible extensions to elastic-plastic materials with isotropic and kinematic hardening. The analysis of calculated examples makes clear that this method is generally not an appropriate one. Mathematically, this becomes noticeable by the fact that resulting J-integral expressions are path-dependent and physically, through the knowledge that it is not an easy matter to define a crack driving force unambiguously. Hence, a second method is applied, which addresses crack propagation for ductile materials in the frameworks of phase field theories and non-conventional thermodynamics. Again, plasticity with isotropic and kinematic hardening is supposed. Simulated examples and physical considerations suggest to employ the methods and ideas of traditional continuum damage mechanics as basis for the constitutive modelling. Accordingly, a new phase field model for ductile crack propagation is proposed. The capabilities of the model are verified with reference to one-, two- and three-dimensional examples, calculated with the finite element method. The analysis of these examples reveals that the proposed model is well suited for predicting crack propagation in ductile materials, subject to complex and in particular to cyclic loading conditions.
