description: Radial velocity perturbations induced by stellar surface inhomogeneities including spots, plages and granules currently limit the detection of Earth-twins using Doppler spectroscopy. Such stellar noise is poorly understood for stars other than the Sun because their surface is unresolved. In particular, the effects of stellar surface inhomogeneities on observed stellar radial velocities are extremely difficult to characterize, and thus developing optimal correction techniques to extract true stellar radial velocities is extremely challenging. In this paper, we present preliminary results of a solar telescope built to feed full-disk sunlight into the HARPS-N spectrograph, which is in turn calibrated with an astro-comb. This setup enables long-term observation of the Sun as a star with state-of-the-art sensitivity to radial velocity changes. Over seven days of observing in 2014, we show an average 50\cms radial velocity rms over a few hours of observation. After correcting observed radial velocities for spot and plage perturbations using full-disk photometry of the Sun, we lower by a factor of two the weekly radial velocity rms to 60\cms. The solar telescope is now entering routine operation, and will observe the Sun every clear day for several hours. We will use these radial velocities combined with data from solar satellites to improve our understanding of stellar noise and develop optimal correction methods. If successful, these new methods should enable the detection of Venus over the next two to three years, thus demonstrating the possibility of detecting Earth-twins around other solar-like stars using the radial velocity technique.

Equivalent models in the context of latent curve analysis
Creators: name: Losardo, Diane
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: An equivalent model found in an application of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) can provide an alternative substantive interpretation of the given model yet be indistinguishable in terms of overall model fit. It is possible for Latent Curve Models (LCMs) to possess a series of such equivalent models, as these models are a type of SEM. However, this issue of equivalent models has not been addressed within this modeling context. In this thesis, the issue of equivalent models as manifested in a common set of LCMs is analytically and empirically investigated. Overall results indicate that previous rules for equivalent models extend to the LCM framework. Analytical results reveal exact transformations of parameters between equivalent models, extending the analytical rules defined by Raykov and Penev. A method for obtaining transformations for standard errors is introduced and such transformations are calculated for a common set of LCMs. Empirical results illustrate the consequences of specifying an equivalent model using real data. Circumstances which result in different substantive interpretations among equivalent models are discussed. Specifically, circumstances under which differences in parameter estimates, standard errors, and ultimate significance levels between equivalent models are large are considered. Recommendations for how best to manage equivalent models in LCMs are discussed.

The Recurring Grotesque in the Amores: A Bakhtinian Analysis
Creators: name: Warhover, Emma
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This paper analyzes Amores 2.2-15 and 3.7-8 using Bakhtin’s concept of the bodily grotesque. The grotesque conflicts with elegy because the beloved’s body must be flawless, but elegy discusses bodily processes that are characteristic of the grotesque (e.g. sex). I argue that poems 2.12-15 illustrate the ways in which the elegiac mistress’ body may become grotesque, and the lengths to which the amator will go to conceal her grotesquerie. Poems 3.7 and 3.8 demonstrate that the grotesque can also afflict the male characters in elegy, and that grotesquerie represents elegiac failure for them as well as for the women. The grotesque in each set of poems reveals the conflict between the real body and the elegiac ideal of the body. Because of its subject matter, elegy is forced to interact with the grotesque, which in turn renders elegiac bodies ugly and inappropriate for the genre.

description: In these lecture notes, partly based on a course taught at the Karpacz Winter School in March 2014, we explore the close connections between non-adiabatic response of a system with respect to macroscopic parameters and the geometry of quantum and classical states. We center our discussion around adiabatic gauge potentials, which are the generators of unitary basis transformations in quantum systems and generators of special canonical transformations in classical systems. In quantum systems, eigenstate expectation values of these potentials are the Berry connections and the covariance matrix of these gauge potentials is the geometric tensor, whose antisymmetric part defines the Berry curvature and whose symmetric part is the Fubini-Study metric tensor. In classical systems one simply replaces the eigenstate expectation value by an average over the micro-canonical shell. For complicated interacting systems, we show that a variational principle may be used to derive approximate gauge potentials. We then express the non-adiabatic response of the physical observables of the system through these gauge potentials, specifically demonstrating the close connection of the geometric tensor to the notions of Lorentz force and renormalized mass. We highlight applications of this formalism to deriving counter-diabatic (dissipationless) driving protocols in various systems, as well as to finding equations of motion for slow macroscopic parameters coupled to fast microscopic degrees of freedom that go beyond macroscopic Hamiltonian dynamics. Finally, we illustrate these ideas with a number of simple examples and highlight a few more complicated ones drawn from recent literature.

description: Collimated streams of particles produced in high energy physics experiments are organized using clustering algorithms to form jets. To construct jets, the experimental collaborations based at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) primarily use agglomerative hierarchical clustering schemes known as sequential recombination. We propose a new class of algorithms for clustering jets that use infrared and collinear safe mixture models. These new algorithms, known as fuzzy jets, are clustered using maximum likelihood techniques and can dynamically determine various properties of jets like their size. We show that the fuzzy jet size adds additional information to conventional jet tagging variables. Furthermore, we study the impact of pileup and show that with some slight modifications to the algorithm, fuzzy jets can be stable up to high pileup interaction multiplicities.

description: Titanium tetrafluoride is a source of fluoride that, when applied to enamel, dentin, or cement, could protect the tooth from demineralization. This fluoride is expected to cause remineralization and promote resistance to acids. However, does the titanium group present in the compound really have a synergistic effect on fluoride? The literature related to the effectiveness of this component is controversial, making it impossible to draw definitive conclusions. Therefore, we consider it necessary to systematically review the whole existing literature and evidence state on this issue
Immunoproteomics reveals pathogen´s antigens involved in Homo sapiens-Histoplasma capsulatum interaction and specific linear B-cell epitopes in histoplasmosis

description: Histoplasmosis is a systemic mycosis with worldwide distribution and one of the most frequent opportunistic diseases in HIV patients. In this group of patients, histoplasmosis has high rates of morbidity/mortality if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Despite its relevance, there is a paucity of information concerning the interaction between Histoplasma capsulatum and the human host, especially regarding the B-cell response, which has a direct impact on the diagnosis. Culture-based “gold-standard” methods have limitations, making immunodiagnostic tests an attractive option for clinical decisions. Despite the continuous development of those tests, improving serological parameters is necessary to make these methods efficient tools for definitive diagnosis of histoplasmosis. This includes the determination of more specific and immunogenic antigens to improve specificity and sensitivity of assays. In this study, we performed a co-immunoprecipitation assay between a protein extract from the yeast form of H. capsulatum and pooled sera from patients with proven histoplasmosis, followed by shotgun mass spectrometry identification of antigenic targets. Sera from patients with other pulmonary infections or from healthy individuals living in endemic areas of histoplasmosis were also assayed to determine potentially cross-reactive proteins. The primary structures of H. capsulatum immunoprecipitated proteins were evaluated using the DNAStar Protean 7.0 software. In parallel, the online epitope prediction server, BCPREDS, was used to complement the B-epitope prediction analysis. Our approach detected 132 reactive proteins to antibodies present in histoplasmosis patients’ sera. Among these antigens, 127 were recognized also by antibodies in heterologous patients’ and/or normal healthy donors’ sera. Therefore, the only three antigens specifically recognized by antibodies of histoplasmosis patients were mapped as potential antigenic targets: the M antigen, previously demonstrated in the diagnosis of histoplasmosis, and the catalase P and YPS-3 proteins, characterized as virulence factors of H. capsulatum, with antigenic properties still unclear. Overlapping results obtained from the two aforementioned bioinformatic tools, 16 regions from these three proteins are proposed as putative B-cell epitopes exclusive to H. capsulatum. These data reveal a new role for these proteins on H. capsulatum interactions with the immune system and indicate their possible use in new methods for the diagnosis of histoplasmosis.

description: An analogy between the fractal nature of networks of arteries and that of systems of rivers has been drawn in the previous works. However, the deep structure of the hierarchy of blood vessels has not yet been revealed. This paper is devoted to researching the fractals, allometric scaling, and hierarchy of blood vessels. By analogy with Horton-Strahler's laws of river composition, three exponential laws have been put forward. These exponential laws can be reconstructed and transformed into three linear scaling laws, which can be named composition laws of blood vessels network. From these linear scaling laws it follows a set of power laws, including the three-parameter Zipf's law on the rank-size distribution of blood vessel length and the allometric scaling law on the length-diameter relationship of blood vessels in different orders. The models are applied to the observed data on human beings and animals early given by other researchers, and an interesting finding is that human bodies more conform to natural rules than dog's bodies. An analogy between the hierarchy of blood vessels, river networks, and urban systems are further drawn, and interdisciplinary studies of hierarchies will probably provide new revealing examples for the science of complexity.

Large Deviations in Fast-Slow Systems

description: The incidence of rare events in fast-slow systems is investigated via analysis of the large deviation principle (LDP) that characterizes the likelihood and pathway of large fluctuations of the slow variables away from their mean behavior -- such fluctuations are rare on short timescales but become ubiquitous eventually. This LDP involves an Hamilton-Jacobi equation whose Hamiltonian is related to the leading eigenvalue of the generator of the fast process, and is typically non-quadratic in the momenta -- in other words, the LDP for the slow variables in fast-slow systems is different in general from that of any stochastic differential equation (SDE) one would write for the slow variables alone. It is shown here that the eigenvalue problem for the Hamiltonian can be reduced to a simpler algebraic equation for this Hamiltonian for a specific class of systems in which the fast variables satisfy a linear equation whose coefficients depend nonlinearly on the slow variables, and the fast variables enter quadratically the equation for the slow variables. These results are illustrated via examples, inspired by kinetic theories of turbulent flows and plasma, in which the quasipotential characterizing the long time behavior of the system is calculated and shown again to be different from that of an SDE.

description: Titanium dioxide materials have been studied intensively and extensively due to photocatalytic applications. A long-standing open question is the energy band alignment of rutile and anatase TiO2 phases, which can affect the photocatalytic process in the composite system. There are basically two contradictory viewpoints about the alignment of these two TiO2 phases supported by respective experiments: 1) straddling type and 2) staggered type. In this work, our DFT plus U calculations find that the perfect rutile (110) and anatase (101) surfaces have the straddling type band alignment, whereas the surfaces with defects can turn the band alignment into the staggered type. The electric dipoles induced by defects are responsible for the reversal of band alignment. Thus the defects introduced during preparations and post-treatment processes of materials are probably the answer to above open question regarding the band alignment, which can be considered in real practice to tune the photocatalytic activity of materials.

description: Studies on patients with the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have implicated that the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a major site of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We established a human GI tract cell line model highly permissive to SARS-CoV-2. These cells, C2BBe1 intestinal cells with a brush border having high levels of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), showed robust viral propagation, and could be persistently infected with SARS-CoV-2, supporting the clinical observations of persistent GI infection in COVID-19 patients. Ectopic expression of viral receptors revealed that the levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression confer permissiveness to SARS-CoV-2 infection, and TMPRSS2 greatly facilitates ACE2-mediated SARS-CoV-2 dissemination. Interestingly, ACE2 but not TMPRSS2 expression was significantly promoted by enterocytic differentiation, suggesting that the state of enterocytic differentiation may serve as a determining factor for viral propagation. Thus, our study sheds light on the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 in the GI tract.
Martha Nussbaum and the rise of raunch culture: implications of the capabilities approach in the United States
Creators: name: Peterman, Melissa R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This paper explores the effects of and also the limits to Martha C. Nussbaum's capabilities approach within the United States. Quite often in Nussbaum's work, her universal theory of justice is analyzed only within the context of developing nations, leaving readers to assume that persons living in the Third World are far more oppressed than those living in the West. By examining the capabilities approach, specifically the bodily integrity capability, within a Western context I aim to reveal (1) the corresponding inequalities existing in the U.S.; (2) which highlight Nussbaum's colonialist viewpoint; (3) in order to demonstrate that if issues of injustice are at the heart of Nussbaum's theory, creating hierarchies of oppression present a number of problematics when devising strategies to eradicate inequality.

Modeling conformational dynamics of cisplatin and oxaliplatin adducts with DNA
Creators: name: Gong, Peng
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin, CP) is a widely used anti-cancer agent. Its platinum analog (trans-R,R)1,2-diaminocyclohexaneoxalatoplatinum(II) (oxaliplatin, OX) is often effective in cisplatin resistant tumors and generally causes less mutation than CP. Although their carrier ligands are structurally distinct, CP and OX form the same types of adducts at the same sites on the DNA. Certain DNA regulatory proteins could distinguish CP-DNA adducts from OX-DNA adducts but the underlying mechanism is not clear currently. In this thesis, we utilized molecular dynamics computer simulation to study these two adducts and we found that DNA was more distorted on the 5' side of the adduct than the 3' side, CP adduct was oriented more towards the 5' side of the adduct and OX adduct more towards the 3' side and some significant differences were observed in the frequency distributions of DNA duplex helical parameters, which may provide an explanation to their distinct biological properties.
Palatal tactile sensitivity in adults with repaired cleft lip and palate
Creators: name: Steere, Katherine Alexa
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Individuals with repaired cleft lip and palate (CLP) may be at risk for decreased tactile sensitivity in the oral cavity due to surgical intervention and scarring. Three research questions were proposed: 1) Do adults with repaired CLP demonstrate reduced palatal sensitivity compared to a control group? 2) Do adults with repaired CLP exhibit longer speech segment durations of alveolar-palatal targets? 3) Is there a relationship between palatal sensitivity and duration of speech segment durations? Tongue and alveolar-palatal tactile thresholds were determined for five adults with repaired CLP and five adults without CLP, using Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments. Normalized speech segment durations were determined for the alveolar-palatal sounds (/s/, /sh/, /t/, and /l/). The difference between groups for tactile thresholds approached significance (p=.0741). Within subjects, significant differences occurred between the tongue and alveolar-palatal sites. Correlations among tactile thresholds and speech segment durations were not significant. Clinical implications are discussed.
Crafting a Career: Ethel Waters and Cabin in the Sky

Subjects: Music

description: Ethel Waters (1896-1977) was a path-breaking African American entertainer whose career spanned nearly sixty years, moving from vaudeville to Hollywood. This thesis addresses the 1943 film Cabin in the Sky as a pivotal moment in Waters's dramatic output, with her playing a role that served as culmination of the themes of her earlier career and as the transition to a new type of character. Beginning before Cabin, and moving through the end of her career, this analysis draws from biographical accounts in combination with close readings of the film to trace four main characteristics that govern her career and public persona: her assertion of creative control, her personal conflicts with female co-stars, her public expressions of religious piety, and her complex experiences with the racial politics of her era. Her oft-overlooked portrayal in Cabin offers insight into the tensions and contradictions that shaped her career and legacy.

description: The frequency of a web search keyword generally reflects the degree of public interest in a particular subject matter. Search logs are therefore useful resources for trend analysis. However, access to search logs is typically restricted to search engine providers. In this paper, we investigate whether search frequency can be estimated from a different resource such as Wikipedia page views of open data. We found frequently searched keywords to have remarkably high correlations with Wikipedia page views. This suggests that Wikipedia page views can be an effective tool for determining popular global web search trends.

The relationship between subconcussive impacts and concussion history on clinical measures of concussion in collegiate football players
Creators: name: Gysland, Sonia Mae
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: There is an estimated 1.6 to 3.8 million cases of mild traumatic brain injury that occur annually, demonstrating the need to better understand potential contributors to head injury, specifically exploring the nature of repetitive impacts sustained over time. The purpose was to determine whether there is a relationship between subconcussive impacts and previous history of concussion on clinical measures of concussion in collegiate football players over one football season. Forty-nine subjects were tested prior to and following the 2008 football season on clinical measures of concussion. Head impact data were also collected throughout the season to determine whether there is a relationship between cumulative impacts and neuropsychological performance, postural stability and presence of concussion-like symptoms. Negligible changes occurred from pre to postseason, and for the most part, were independent of previous history of concussion, and the total number, magnitude and location of impacts sustained over one football season.

description: Cognitive deficits in chronic pain are often attributed to difficulties in attentional control. According to the deficit view, these difficulties stem from a reduction in attentional capacity driven by attentional focus on pain experience; alternatively, according to the motivated-attention view, attentional biases toward pain-relevant threats in the environment reduce attention available for everyday tasks and goals. We tested both accounts using a task in which 72 people with chronic pain and 72 without chronic pain performed a simple perceptual task while attempting to ignore pain-relevant images of body mutilations or neutral scenes. They also completed a common test of attentional control. Although people with chronic pain reported subjective difficulty with attentional control and were slower on both tasks, groups did not differ on behavioral measures of attentional control. Findings suggest that attentional control may not be an optimal target for interventions intended to improve cognitive function in chronic pain.
Nature and nurture: factors contributing to the development and continuation of eating disorders
Creators: name: Joy, Subhashni Devi Singh
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This thesis discusses the impact of genetics, personality traits and media on the development and continuation of eating disorders, including bulimia and anorexia. The project includes a literature review of current research on factors related to eating disorders. The series of three articles highlights three factors that affect the development of eating disorders. The first article considers some of the personality traits often associated with people with eating disorders, as told through one person's experience. The second uses a narrative approach to tell the story of a young girl who struggled with anorexia and binge eating and who also has a mother and half-sister who have dealt with eating disorders. The third article describes how media can affect how girls and women view their bodies and also reports on a recent movement toward using "real" women in advertising and in magazines directed to teenage girls.

description: Today's software systems are highly distributed and interconnected, and they increasingly rely on communication to achieve their goals; due to their societal importance, security and trustworthiness are crucial aspects for the correctness of these systems. Behavioural types, which extend data types by describing also the structured behaviour of programs, are a widely studied approach to the enforcement of correctness properties in communicating systems. This paper offers a unified overview of proposals based on behavioural types which are aimed at the analysis of security properties.

description: We consider a sonic black-hole scenario where an atom condensate flows through a subsonic-supersonic interface. We discuss several criteria that reveal the existence of nonclassical correlations resulting from the quantum character of the spontaneous Hawking radiation. We unify previous general work as applied to Hawking radiation analogs. We investigate the measurability of the various indicators and conclude that, within a class of detection schemes, only the violation of quadratic Cauchy-Schwarz inequalities can be discerned. We show numerical results that further support the viability of measuring deep quantum correlations in concrete scenarios.

description: Notrufe und Funkstreifenwageneinsätze bestimmen wesentlich schutzpolizeiliches Alltagshandeln. Bis zu 90% oder mehr der verfügbaren Zeit bzw. de Handlungen, die Polizeibeamte im schutzpolizeilichen Strefendienst verrichten, werden duch Notrufe und damit durch die Bürger, die die Polizei zu einer Intervention rufen, vorherbestimmt. Diese reaktive Determinierung polizeilichen Handelns muß aufgebrochen werden, um mehr Spielraum für proaktives Handeln (z.B. präventive Tätigkeiten) zu bekommen. Die vorliegende Studie beschäftigt sich mit Notrufen, die bei der Polizei in drei baden-württembergischen Polizeidirektionen (Calw, Freiburg und Ravensburg / Weingarten) innerhalb eines Untersuchungszeitraumes von sechs Wochen eingegangen sind und mit Funkstreifenwageneinsätzen, die aufgrund dieser Notrufe oder aufgrund eigener Entscheidung der Polizei erfolgten. Im Gegensatz zum Ausland, wo solche Studien ein wichtiger Bestandteil polizeilicher Steuerung und kriminologischer Analyse sind, wird der Wert solcher Arbeiten in Deutschland bislang unterschätzt. Dabei ist längst anerkannt, daß die Analysen dieser Rufe nach Polizei und der polizeilichen Reaktionen darauf wichtige Erkenntnisse über Art und Umfang bestimmter Probleme im Gemeinwesen und über die Quantität und die Qualität des Bedarfes an polizeilicher Intervention liefern. Die Polizei kann - aufbauend auf solchen Analysen - ihre Abeiten effektiver und effizienter gestalten. Gleichzeitig liefern solche Studien Kriminologen, Soziologen und Stadtplanern wichtige Erkenntnisse für gemeindesoziologische oder kommunalpräventive Ansätze.
The Natchez fire: a profile of African American remembrance in a small Mississippi town
Creators: name: Joos, Vincent
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: In April 1940, two hundred and nine people died in a dance hall fire in Natchez, Mississippi. All the victims were African Americans. This event is central in the collective memory of Natchez black residents. This ethnographic work explores the shapes memory takes on when the Natchez Fire is invoked and follows the geographical and historical paths associated with the tragedy. African American counter-memory is a constant reconstruction of space and place, which are used as means of contestation. Through the narratives pertaining to the tragedy, questions of race, gender and power are woven to reconstructions of the past. These reconstructions are apprehended through a folkloric lens: songs, material artifacts and individual narratives enable me to ponder on the impact of the Natchez Fire.

description: The subject of this thesis is the variety of ways that temples were reused by Romans, both Christian and non-Christian, at the end of Antiquity in the present-day country of Greece. It discusses these means of reuse using principally archaeological evidence as a means of countering interpretations of the material culture that temples were either destroyed or reused as churches. These interpretations are based on the assumption that contemporary written sources such as Saints’ ‘Lives’ (the literary genre known as hagiography) are an accurate portrayal of temple reuse in Late Antiquity, without taking into consideration the legendary nature of hagiography. On the other hand, they do not account for potentially contradictory evidence of temple reuse derived from archaeological excavation. It is argued in this thesis that archaeological evidence provides an alternative outcome to that described in contemporary written sources such as hagiography, one that emphasizes practical forms of temple reuse rather than religious. The evidence for this argument is presented at both a geographic level and as discreet categories of forms of reuse of both a religious and practical nature, as a first glimpse of the nuanced image of temple reuse in Greece. Specific examples of the evidence are then cited in a number of case studies to be further developed as a valid attribute in the characterisation of the Late Antique sacred landscape at the level of the Roman Empire. It is concluded that, although practical forms of temple reuse do not greatly alter the sacred landscape of Late Antique Greece, they are crucial in developing a more diverse view of Late Antique religion.
Décolonisation de l'alimentation des peuples autochtones : étude du cas de la communauté Anishnabe de Lac Simon

description: L’alimentation des peuples autochtones a été énormément affectée par la colonisation. Les politiques et stratégies assimilatrices du gouvernement occupant visaient souvent les ressources et pratiques alimentaires des peuples autochtones pour les éliminer. La dépossession des Autochtones de leurs territoires, la création des réserves et les pensionnats ne sont que quelques-uns des événements marquants qui ont eu des impacts directs et indirects sur l’alimentation de ces peuples et, en conséquence, sur leur santé. Loin d’être un chapitre clos du passé, les impacts de la colonisation sont encore visibles et donnent lieu à des problématiques sociales auxquelles les communautés autochtones tentent de remédier. Cette recherche s’intéresse donc aux différentes initiatives alimentaires qui existent dans la communauté Anishnabe de Lac Simon. À travers un sondage, des groupes de discussion et l’observation participative, je tente d’élucider les impacts que ces initiatives ont eu sur les habitudes alimentaires des participants et comment elles contribuent à la décolonisation de l’alimentation de la communauté.

description: The previous outbreaks of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV have led researchers to study the role of diagnostics in impediment of further spread and transmission. With the recent emergence of the novel SARS-CoV-2, the availability of rapid, sensitive, and reliable diagnostic methods is essential for disease control. Hence, we have developed a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for the specific detection of SARS-CoV-2. The primer sets for RT-LAMP assay were designed to target the nucleocapsid gene of the viral RNA, and displayed a detection limit of 102 RNA copies close to that of qRT-PCR. Notably, the assay has exhibited a rapid detection span of 30 min combined with the colorimetric visualization. This test can detect specifically viral RNAs of the SARS-CoV-2 with no cross-reactivity to related coronaviruses, such as HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43, and MERS-CoV as well as human infectious influenza viruses (type B, H1N1pdm, H3N2, H5N1, H5N6, H5N8, and H7N9), and other respiratory disease-causing viruses (RSVA, RSVB, ADV, PIV, MPV, and HRV). Furthermore, the developed RT-LAMP assay has been evaluated using specimens collected from COVID-19 patients that exhibited high agreement to the qRT-PCR. Our RT-LAMP assay is simple to perform, less expensive, time-efficient, and can be used in clinical laboratories for preliminary detection of SARS-CoV-2 in suspected patients. In addition to the high sensitivity and specificity, this isothermal amplification conjugated with a single-tube colorimetric detection method may contribute to the public health responses and disease control, especially in the areas with limited laboratory capacities.
"A Great Blessing to Defective Humanity": Women and the Eugenics Movement in North Carolina, 1910-1940

description: This thesis examines the various ways that white middle-class women in early twentieth-century North Carolina drew on eugenics ideology as part of broad social reform efforts. Several groups of women--clubwomen, female state welfare officials, and female social workers--had divergent goals in their appropriation of eugenics principles, but nevertheless cooperated to create state-run custodial institutions and a sterilization program. I analyze how female reformers' individual circumstances and identities tinged their political stances and forays into eugenics and progressivism, emphasizing the diversity of viewpoints among women reformers in North Carolina. I argue that examining the way individuals interpreted and employed eugenics principles is critical to understanding the eugenics movement generally, as it provides a nuanced view of the impact of eugenics on the lives of both reformers and targets--their fellow citizens.
