description: The last solar minimum is characterized by several peculiar aspects and by the presence of a complex magnetic topology with two different kinds of coronal streamers: pseudo-streamers and bipolar streamers. Pseudo-streamers or unipolar streamer are coronal structures which separate coronal holes of the same polarity, without a current sheet in the outer corona; unlike bipolar streamer that separate coronal holes of opposite magnetic polarity. In this study, two examples of these structures have been identified in the period of Carrington rotation 2067, by applying a potential-field source-surface extrapolation of the photospheric field measurements. We present a spectroscopic analysis of a pseudo-streamer and a bipolar streamer observed in the period 12-17 March 2008 at high spectral and spatial resolution by the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS; Kohl et al., 1995) onboard Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). The solar wind plasma parameters, such as kinetic temperature, electron density and outflow velocity, are inferred in the extended corona (from 1.7 to 2.1 Rsun) analysing the O VI doublet and Ly alpha line spectra. The coronal magnetic topology is taken into account and has been extrapolated by a 3D magneto-hydrodynamic model of the global corona. The results of the analysis show some peculiarities of the pseudo-streamer physical parameters in comparison with those obtained for bipolar streamers: in particular, we have found higher kinetic temperature and higher outflow velocities of O VI ions and lower electron density values. In conclusion, we point out that pseudo-streamers produce a "hybrid" type of outflow that is intermediate between slow and fast solar wind and they are a possible source of slow/fast wind in not dipolar solar magnetic field configuration.

10. Using Instrumental Variable Tests to Evaluate Model Specification in Latent Variable Structural Equation Models
Creators: name: Kirby, James B.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Structural Equation Modeling with latent variables (SEM) is a powerful tool for social and behavioral scientists, combining many of the strengths of psychometrics and econometrics into a single framework. The most common estimator for SEM is the full-information maximum likelihood estimator (ML), but there is continuing interest in limited information estimators because of their distributional robustness and their greater resistance to structural specification errors. However, the literature discussing model fit for limited information estimators for latent variable models is sparse compared to that for full information estimators. We address this shortcoming by providing several specification tests based on the 2SLS estimator for latent variable structural equation models developed by Bollen (1996). We explain how these tests can be used to not only identify a misspecified model, but to help diagnose the source of misspecification within a model. We present and discuss results from a Monte Carlo experiment designed to evaluate the finite sample properties of these tests. Our findings suggest that the 2SLS tests successfully identify most misspecified models, even those with modest misspecification, and that they provide researchers with information that can help diagnose the source of misspecification.

description: Enzymatic molecules that actively support many cellular processes, including transport, cell division and cell motility, are known as motor proteins or molecular motors. Experimental studies indicate that they interact with each other and they frequently work together in large groups. To understand the mechanisms of collective behavior of motor proteins we study the effect of interactions in the transport of molecular motors along linear filaments. It is done by analyzing a recently introduced class of totally asymmetric exclusion processes that takes into account the intermolecular interactions via thermodynamically consistent approach. We develop a new theoretical method that allows us to compute analytically all dynamic properties of the system. Our analysis shows that correlations play important role in dynamics of interacting molecular motors. Surprisingly, we find that the correlations for repulsive interactions are weaker and more short-range than the correlations for the attractive interactions. In addition, it is shown that symmetry of interactions affect dynamic properties of molecular motors. The implications of these findings for motor proteins transport are discussed. Our theoretical predictions are tested by extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations.
Network Sampling with Memory: A Proposal for More Efficient Sampling from Social Networks

description: Techniques for sampling from networks have grown into an important area of research across several fields. For sociologists, the possibility of sampling from a network is appealing for two reasons: (1) A network sample can yield substantively interesting data about network structures and social interactions, and (2) it is useful in situations where study populations are difficult or impossible to survey with traditional sampling approaches because of the lack of a sampling frame. Despite its appeal, methodological concerns about the precision and accuracy of network-based sampling methods remain. In particular, recent research has shown that sampling from a network using a random walk based approach such as Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) can result in high design effects (DE)—the ratio of the sampling variance to the sampling variance of simple random sampling (SRS). A high design effect means that more cases must be collected to achieve the same level of precision as SRS. In this paper we propose an alternative strategy, Network Sampling with Memory (NSM), which collects network data from respondents in order to reduce design effects and, correspondingly, the number of interviews needed to achieve a given level of statistical power. NSM combines a “List” mode, where all individuals on the revealed network list are sampled with the same cumulative probability, with a “Search” mode, which gives priority to bridge nodes connecting the current sample to unexplored parts of the network. We test the relative efficiency of NSM compared to RDS and SRS on 162 school and university networks from Add Health and Facebook that range in size from 110 to 16,278 nodes. The results show that the average design effect for NSM on these 162 networks is 1.16, which is very close to the efficiency of a simple random sample (DE=1), and 98.5% lower than the average DE we observed for RDS.

description: Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials have been considered a desired solution for lightweight and high-temperature applications. Simultaneously, among all different CMC reinforcements, polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) fibres have gained attention for the intrinsic thermal stability and mechanical strength with simple and cost-effective synthesis techniques. Here, carbon-rich silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) fibres were synthesized via hand-drawing and polymer pyrolysis of a hybrid precursor of 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetravinyl-cyclotetrasilazane (TTCSZ) and poly-acrylic acid (PAA). The type of silazane reported in this work is considered as a major precursor for SiCN; however, it is unspinnable, due to its unfavourable physical properties (low viscosity) and chemical structure (cyclic rather than linear structure). The introduction of PAA to TTCSZ to create a hybrid precursor remarkably improved the spinnability of the silazane and should be widely applicable to other unspinnable PDC pre-ceramic polymers. Investigations on the structural and compositional development of the fibres were mainly conducted via Raman spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance and thermo-gravimetric analysis to determine spinnability, free carbon content, cross-linking and pyrolysis behaviour of the fibres, respectively.

description: Gene expression is controlled primarily by interactions between transcription factor proteins (TFs) and the regulatory DNA sequence, a process that can be captured well by thermodynamic models of regulation. These models, however, neglect regulatory crosstalk: the possibility that non-cognate TFs could initiate transcription, with potentially disastrous effects for the cell. Here we estimate the importance of crosstalk, suggest that its avoidance strongly constrains equilibrium models of TF binding, and propose an alternative non-equilibrium scheme that implements kinetic proofreading to suppress erroneous initiation. This proposal is consistent with the observed covalent modifications of the transcriptional apparatus and would predict increased noise in gene expression as a tradeoff for improved specificity. Using information theory, we quantify this tradeoff to find when optimal proofreading architectures are favored over their equilibrium counterparts.

description: Schizophrenia is a disorder in which the individual who experiences it can be affected both in thought, feeling and behavior, where one of the symptoms experienced is a positive symptom, that is, a symptom in schizophrenia that represents the presence of an excess or deviation from the normal functioning of the human being, which is quite different from the lack of normal functioning. One of the psychotherapies given to people with schizophrenia (ODS) is CBT which aims to build natural coping strategies that are already used by ODS when facing positive symptoms, so as to link the intervention of the professional with the efforts of self-help. In this regard, researchers tried to conduct a scoping review study to be able to answer the question "How can CBT be used in treating positive symptoms in ODS?"
An Empirical Evaluation of the Use of Fixed Cutoff Points in RMSEA Test Statistic in Structural Equation Models

description: This article is an empirical evaluation of the choice of fixed cutoff points in assessing the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) test statistic as a measure of goodness-of-fit in Structural Equation Models. Using simulation data, the authors first examine whether there is any empirical evidence for the use of a universal cutoff, and then compare the practice of using the point estimate of the RMSEA alone versus that of using it jointly with its related confidence interval. The results of the study demonstrate that there is little empirical support for the use of .05 or any other value as universal cutoff values to determine adequate model fit, regardless of whether the point estimate is used alone or jointly with the confidence interval. The authors' analyses suggest that to achieve a certain level of power or Type I error rate, the choice of cutoff values depends on model specifications, degrees of freedom, and sample size.

Model Identification and Computer Algebra

description: Multiequation models that contain observed or latent variables are common in the social sciences. To determine whether unique parameter values exist for such models, one needs to assess model identification. In practice analysts rely on empirical checks that evaluate the singularity of the information matrix evaluated at sample estimates of parameters. The discrepancy between estimates and population values, the limitations of numerical assessments of ranks, and the difference between local and global identification make this practice less than perfect. In this paper we outline how to use computer algebra systems (CAS) to determine the local and global identification of multiequation models with or without latent variables. We demonstrate a symbolic CAS approach to local identification and develop a CAS approach to obtain explicit algebraic solutions for each of the model parameters. We illustrate the procedures with several examples, including a new proof of the identification of a model for handling missing data using auxiliary variables. We present an identification procedure for Structural Equation Models that makes use of CAS and that is a useful complement to current methods.

In the bulk, any transition where a heavier particle type swaps places with an adjacent lighter particle type is possible. We generalize combinatorial results of Corteel and Williams for the ordinary PASEP by defining a combinatorial object which we call a rhombic alternative tableau that gives a combinatorial formula for the stationary probabilities for the states of this two-species PASEP.

description: We apply a cross-correlation technique to infer the $S>3$mJy radio luminosity function (RLF) from the NRAO VLA sky survey (NVSS) to $z\sim3.5$. We measure $Σ$ the over density of radio sources around spectroscopically confirmed quasars. $Σ$ is related to the space density of radio sources at the distance of the quasars and the clustering strength between the two samples, hence knowledge of one constrains the other. Under simple assumptions we find $Φ\propto (1+z)^{3.7\pm0.7}$ out to $z\sim2$. Above this redshift the evolution slows and we constrain the evolution exponent to $<1.01$ ($2σ$). This behaviour is almost identical to that found by previous authors for the bright end of the RLF potentially indicating that we are looking at the same population. This suggests that the NVSS is dominated by a single population; most likely radio sources associated with high-excitation cold-mode accretion. Inversely, by adopting a previously modelled RLF we can constrain the clustering of high-redshift radio sources and find a clustering strength consistent with $r_0=15.0\pm 2.5$ Mpc up to $z\sim3.5$. This is inconsistent with quasars at low redshift and some measurements of the clustering of bright FRII sources. This behaviour is more consistent with the clustering of lower luminosity radio galaxies in the local universe. Our results indicate that the high-excitation systems dominating our sample are hosted in the most massive galaxies at all redshifts sampled.

description: On the north coast of Brittany, Perinereis cultrifera has a 3-years life cycle. Some individuals, however may reproduce in their fourth year. Reproduction (with epitoke stages) takes place in late March or early April, Growth, initially segmentary, becomes ponderal in the second year of life. Sexual differenciation, wich is also noticed in that time, starts in December for females or February-March for males. The third year is highlighted by processes related to reproduction ; in March, individuals are completely epitoke : females and males are respectively emerald green and white and may contain up to 130 000 oocytes and 16,3 billions of spermatozoa. While growing, many individuals migrate from the upper to the lower level of the Fucus serratus zone occupying a thickining sedimentary stratum ; in reproduction period, individuals execute a swarming migration in the opposite direction. Comparison between our data and those obtained from other studies in different sites of Perinereis culttifera's distribution illustrate a high plasticity in regard to reproduction and a high growth variability within the natural habitat.

The Academic Success of East Asian American Youth: The Role of Shadow Education
Creators: name: Park, Hyunjoon
name: Byun, Soo-yong
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Using data from the Education Longitudinal Study, this study assessed the relevance of shadow education to the high academic performance of East Asian American students by examining how East Asian American students differed from other racial/ethnic students in the prevalence, purpose, and effects of using the two forms – commercial test preparation service and private one-to-one tutoring – of SAT coaching, defined as the American style of shadow education. East Asian American students were most likely to take a commercial SAT test preparation course for the enrichment purpose, and benefited most from taking this particular form of SAT coaching. However, this was not the case for private SAT one-to-one tutoring. While black students were most likely to utilize private tutoring for the remedial purpose, the impact of private tutoring was trivial for all racial/ethnic groups including East Asian American students. The authors discussed broader implications of the findings on racial/ethnic inequalities in educational achievement beyond the relevance of shadow education for the academic success of East Asian American students.

description: We report the measurement of longitudinal electron diffusion coefficients in liquid argon for electric fields between 100 and 2000 V/cm with a gold photocathode as a bright electron source. The measurement principle, apparatus, and data analysis are described. Our results, which are consistent with previous measurements in the region between 100 to 350 V/cm [1] , are systematically higher than the prediction of Atrazhev-Timoshkin[2], and represent the world's best measurement in the region between 350 to 2000 V/cm. The quantum efficiency of the gold photocathode, the drift velocity and longitudinal diffusion coefficients in gas argon are also presented.

Other People’s Racism: Race, Rednecks, and Riots in a Southern High School
Creators: name: Hardie, Jessica Halliday
name: Tyson, Karolyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: This article uses data drawn from nine months of fieldwork and student, teacher, and administrator interviews at a southern high school to analyze school racial conflict and the construction of racism. We find that institutional inequalities that stratify students by race and class are routinely ignored by school actors who, we argue, use the presence of so-called redneck students to plausibly deny racism while furthering the standard definition of racism as blatant prejudice and an individual trait. The historical prominence of rednecks as a southern cultural identity augments these claims, leading to an implicit division of school actors into friendly/nonracist and unfriendly/racist and allowing school actors to set boundaries on the meaning of racism. Yet these rhetorical practices and the institutional structures they mask contributed to racial tensions, culminating in a race riot during our time at the school.

description: In order to investigate the characteristics and influence of the magnetic field in evolved stars, we performed a follow-up investigation of our previous submillimeter analysis of the proto-planetary nebula (PPN) OH 231.8+4.2 (Sabin et al. 2014), this time at 1.3mm with the CARMA facility in polarisation mode for the purpose of a multi-scale analysis. OH 231.8+4.2 was observed at ~2.5" resolution and we detected polarised emission above the 3-sigma threshold (with a mean polarisation fraction of 3.5 %). The polarisation map indicates an overall organised magnetic field within the nebula. The main finding in this paper is the presence of a structure mostly compatible with an ordered toroidal component that is aligned with the PPN's dark lane. We also present some alternative magnetic field configuration to explain the structure observed. These data complete our previous SMA submillimeter data for a better investigation and understanding of the magnetic field structure in OH 231.8+4.2.

Stopped hearts, amputated toes and NASA: contemporary legends among healthy volunteers in US phase I clinical trials
Creators: name: Fisher, Jill A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The first stage of testing new pharmaceuticals in humans is referred to as a phase I clinical trial. The purpose of these studies is to test the safety of the drugs and to establish appropriate doses that can later be given to patients. Most of these studies are conducted under controlled, in-patient conditions using healthy volunteers who are paid for their participation. To explore healthy volunteers’ experiences in clinical trials, an ethnographic study was conducted at six in-patient phase I clinics in the USA. In addition to the observation of clinic activities (from informed consent procedures to dosing to blood draws), 268 semi-structured interviews were conducted, 33 with clinic staff and 235 with healthy volunteers. Drawing on this dataset, this article explores healthy volunteers’ exchange of contemporary legends about phase I clinical trials. In addition to potentially scaring the listener and communicating distrust in the medical community, these incredible stories help participants cope with perceived stigma and establish a gradient of risk of trial participation, creating potential boundaries to their participation in medical research. The article argues that contemporary legends play a productive role in society, shaping how people view themselves and others and influencing their decisions about risky activities.
GPGPU Based Parallelized Client-Server Framework for Providing High Performance Computation Support

description: Parallel data processing has become indispensable for processing applications involving huge data sets. This brings into focus the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) which emphasize on many-core computing. With the advent of General Purpose GPUs (GPGPU), applications not directly associated with graphics operations can also harness the computation capabilities of GPUs. Hence, it would be beneficial if the computing capabilities of a given GPGPU could be task optimized and made available. This paper describes a client-server framework in which users can choose a processing task and submit large data-sets for processing to a remote GPGPU and receive the results back, using well defined interfaces. The framework provides extensibility in terms of the number and type of tasks that the client can choose or submit for processing at the remote GPGPU server machine, with complete transparency to the underlying hardware and operating systems. Parallelization of user-submitted tasks on the GPGPU has been achieved using NVIDIA Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA).

description: The razor clams Ensis arcuatus and E. siliqua show a diploid DNA content of 3.85 ± 0.049 pg and 4.00 ± 0.050
 pg, respectively. Both have a diploid chromosome number of 38 although their karyotypes show remarkable differences.
 The karyotype of E. arcuatus consists of 4 metacentric, 1 metacentric-submetacentric, 7 submetacentric and 7 telocentric
 chromosome pairs, whereas that of E. siliqua possesses 3 metacentric, 7 submetacentric and 9 telocentric pairs. In situ
 hybridization using an 18S-5.8S-28S rDNA probe located this ribosomal locus on one chromosome pair for both species.
 Results demonstrate that large differences exist between them, probably caused by chromosome rearrangements along
 evolution of these two species, and increase the number of studies on bivalve cytogenetics.

description: RE/ME is a body awareness tool initially based on the Haplós technology invented by Diego S. Maranan, and subsequently developed with Agi Haines, Sean Clarke, and Jack Fletcher. The team was formed out of the CogNovo PhD training programme in Cognitive Innovation at Plymouth University, and was selected for the award out of approximately 25 other teams that were formed during a series of EU-funded events called Hack the Brain held in 2016 and 2017. RE/ME uses carefully designed patterns of touch and sound to positively influence the perception of your own body by making you feel more whole. However, it can be further used to transform your experience of your body’s size and shape in imaginative and novel ways. RE/ME was one of five projects pitched at Art, Science & Technology Collaborations in Europe, a symposium on how the arts can be a catalyst for innovations that seek to address today’s challenges. These slides were presented during the pitch. RE/ME won the pitch and was chosen to be further developed at DART 17, a test laboratory in San Francisco, USA.

description: The increasing number of molecular and biotechnological studies involving brown algae has led to a growing
 demand for bacteria-free cultures. We describe here simple methods to establish axenic clonal cultures of filamentous
 marine brown algae. Thallus fragments are exposed on agar plates to commercially available paper disks loaded with
 defined concentrations of antibiotics. Regenerating fragments are isolated and used to initiate axenic algal cultures in liquid
 medium or on agar. We found the following agents to be tolerated by algae and active against marine bacteria:
 ciprofloxacin, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, polymyxin B, and kanamycin. Axenic agar cultures are maintained by serial
 transfer on agar, or re-introduced into liquid medium. Although we recommend transfer of agar cultures in 2-3 month
 intervals, we have observed survival times on agar of up to 2 years without attention.
