description: We have made a simple and natural modification of a recent quantum refrigerator model presented by Cleuren et al. in Phys. Rev, Lett.108, 120603 (2012). The original model consist of two metal leads acting as heat baths, and a set of quantum dots that allow for electron transport between the baths. It was shown to violate the dynamic third law of thermodynamics (the unattainability principle, which states that cooling to absolute zero in finite time is impossible), but by taking into consideration the finite energy level spacing in metals we restore the third law, while keeping all of the original model's thermodynamic properties intact.

description: Shape coexistence has been a subject of great interest in nuclear physics for many decades. In the context of the nuclear shell model, intruder excitations may give rise to remarkably low-lying excited $0^+$ states associated with different intrinsic shapes. In heavy open-shell nuclei, the dimension of the shell-model configuration space that includes such intruder excitations becomes exceedingly large, thus requiring a drastic truncation scheme. Such a framework has been provided by the interacting boson model (IBM). In this article we address the phenomenon of shape coexistence and its relevant spectroscopy from the point of view of the IBM. A special focus is placed on the method developed recently which makes use of the link between the IBM and the self-consistent mean-field approach based on the nuclear energy density functional. The method is extended to deal with various intruder configurations associated with different equilibrium shapes. We assess the predictive power of the method and suggest possible improvements and extensions, by considering illustrative examples in the neutron-deficient Pb region, where shape coexistence has been experimentally studied.

Fairness and the distribution of primary goods
Creators: name: Dean, Nathan W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: I consider whether any one of the schemes of distributive justice envisioned by John Rawls, Robert Nozick, or G.A. Cohen is truly fair. By means of a close and critical reading of their work on distributive justice, I conclude that their schemes of distributive justice in some instances fail to correct for elements of unfairness and at other times introduce unfairness in the furtherance of other largely unacknowledged ends. More specifically, I (1) describe the ways in which Rawls, Nozick, and Cohen fail to show us what a fair scheme of distributive justice would look like, (2) sketch what I take to be a truly fair (though unappealing) scheme of distributive justice, and, (3) (in conclusion) suggest that the unwillingness or inability of Rawls, Nozick, and Cohen to be constrained by fairness highlights the potential disutility of fairness as a major determinant in the proper distribution of primary goods.
Search for direct top squark pair production in final states with two leptons in $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV $pp$ collisions with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2017

description: The results of a search for direct pair production of top squarks in events with two opposite-charge leptons (electrons or muons) are reported, using 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity from proton--proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. To cover a range of mass differences between the top squark $\tilde{t}$ and lighter supersymmetric particles, four possible decay modes of the top squark are targeted with dedicated selections: the decay $\tilde{t} \rightarrow b \tilde{\chi}_{1}^{\pm}$ into a $b$-quark and the lightest chargino with $\tilde{\chi}_{1}^{\pm} \rightarrow W \tilde{\chi}_{1}^{0}$, the decay $\tilde{t} \rightarrow t \tilde{\chi}_{1}^{0}$ into an on-shell top quark and the lightest neutralino, the three-body decay $\tilde{t} \rightarrow b W \tilde{\chi}_{1}^{0}$ and the four-body decay $\tilde{t} \rightarrow b \ell \nu \tilde{\chi}_{1}^{0}$. No significant excess of events is observed above the Standard Model background for any selection, and limits on top squarks are set as a function of the $\tilde{t}$ and $\tilde{\chi}_{1}^{0}$ masses. The results exclude at 95% confidence level $\tilde{\chi}_{1}^{0}$ masses up to about 720 GeV, extending the exclusion region of supersymmetric parameter space covered by previous searches.

An examination of the social and economic factors contributing to HIV prevalence among Black women in Texas
Creators: name: Deas, Kimberly
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2025

description: The social determinants of health (SDoH) are defined as the daily settings where people live their lives. They include community / social context, income, education, food security, healthcare systems, and neighborhood /physical environment. Exposure to violence, which for the purposes of this study is a proxy for neighborhood /physical environment, is known to be associated with an increased risk for HIV infection and has been demonstrated in the literature for many decades. Community and interpersonal violence (CIPV) is defined as the ratio of property and violent crime per capita, and a higher level of CIPV has been shown to be a significant indicator of the inability to maintain optimal health for people living with HIV, especially for poor minority women. Past studies, including a 2017 unpublished manuscript and a 2018 study, highlighted significant relationships between high CIPV levels and adverse health outcomes. METHOD: This current study builds upon previous research by examining the impact of CIPV and other SDoH indicators on HIV prevalence and viral suppression among BWLH in Texas. The analysis included various factors, such as food insecurity, income, and social/environmental context, focusing on the top five cities/counties in Texas with the highest HIV prevalence. Multiple logistic regression and statistical correlations were calculated to understand the strength of associations between these indicators, HIV prevalence among Black women, and health outcomes.RESULTS: Strong correlations (ranging from 0.80 to 0.91) were found between multiple SDoH indicators and HIV prevalence among BWLH. Violence-related factors showed very strong associations, with a negative correlation of 0.88 with viral suppression. Conversely, higher income levels were positively correlated (0.91) with improved viral suppression. These findings underscore the significant impact of violence and other SDoH factors on HIV prevalence and health outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This research highlights the overwhelming influence of social determinants of health, especially violence-related factors, on HIV prevalence and health outcomes among Black women living with HIV in Texas. These findings emphasize the critical relationship between social determinants of health (SDoH) and HIV prevalence, as well as the impact on health outcomes, such as viral suppression, among Black women living with HIV in Texas.

description: To date, usability problems for laparoscopic instruments have mainly been investigated using questionnaires or laboratory studies. However, this methodology prevents the duration and frequency of instrument use from being documented objectively. Therefore, a tablet was used to create a graphic user interface which enables instrument use by operating and assisting surgeons to be documented with a high level of temporal precision. In a preliminary study, instrument use was documented for five laparoscopic operations (0:44h-6:01h). 2021 actions and 221 changes of instruments were documented. The longest uninterrupted usage period without changing hands was determined for grasping forceps at 97 min.

description: In this paper we study the dynamics of the stellar interior of the early red-giant star KIC 4448777 by asteroseismic inversion of 14 splittings of the dipole mixed modes obtained from {\it Kepler} observations. In order to overcome the complexity of the oscillation pattern typical of red-giant stars, we present a procedure which involves a combination of different methods to extract the rotational splittings from the power spectrum. We find not only that the core rotates faster than the surface, confirming previous inversion results generated for other red giants (Deheuvels et al. 2012,2014), but we also estimate the variation of the angular velocity within the helium core with a spatial resolution of $Δr=0.001R$ and verify the hypothesis of a sharp discontinuity in the inner stellar rotation (Deheuvels et al. 2014). The results show that the entire core rotates rigidly with an angular velocity of about $\langleΩ_c/2π\rangle=748\pm18$~nHz and provide evidence for an angular velocity decrease through a region between the helium core and part of the hydrogen burning shell; however we do not succeed to characterize the rotational slope, due to the intrinsic limits of the applied techniques. The angular velocity, from the edge of the core and through the hydrogen burning shell, appears to decrease with increasing distance from the center, reaching an average value in the convective envelope of $\langleΩ_s/2π\rangle=68\pm22$~nHz. Hence, the core in KIC~4448777 is rotating from a minimum of 8 to a maximum of 17 times faster than the envelope. We conclude that a set of data which includes only dipolar modes is sufficient to infer quite accurately the rotation of a red giant not only in the dense core but also, with a lower level of confidence, in part of the radiative region and in the convective envelope.

description: Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) vary in their brightness across all wavelengths. Moreover, longer wavelength ultraviolet - optical continuum light curves appear to be delayed with respect to shorter wavelength light curves. A simple way to model these delays is by assuming thermal reprocessing of a variable point source (a lamp post) by a blackbody accretion disc. We introduce a new method, CREAM (\textbf{C}ontinuum \textbf{RE}processed \textbf{A}GN \textbf{M}arkov Chain Monte Carlo), that models continuum variations using this lamp post model. The disc light curves lag the lamp post emission with a time delay distribution sensitive to the disc temperature-radius profile and inclination. We test CREAM's ability to recover both inclination and product of black hole mass and accretion rate $\mmdot$, and show that the code is also able to infer the shape of the driving light curve. CREAM is applied to synthetic light curves expected from 1000 second exposures of a 17th magnitude AGN with a 2m telescope in Sloan g and i bands with signal to noise of 500 - 900 depending on the filter and lunar phase. We also tests CREAM on poorer quality g and i light curves with SNR = 100. We find in the high SNR case that CREAM can recover the accretion disc inclination to within an uncertainty of 5 degrees and an $\mmdot$ to within 0.04 dex.

description: We present methods for optimizing pupil and focal plane optical elements that improve the performance of vortex coronagraphs on telescopes with obstructed or segmented apertures. Phase-only and complex masks are designed for the entrance pupil, focal plane, and the plane of the Lyot stop. Optimal masks are obtained using both analytical and numerical methods. The latter makes use of an iterative error reduction algorithm to calculate "correcting" optics that mitigate unwanted diffraction from aperture obstructions. We analyze the achieved performance in terms of starlight suppression, contrast, off-axis image quality, and chromatic dependence. Manufacturing considerations and sensitivity to aberrations are also discussed. This work provides a path to joint optimization of multiple coronagraph planes to maximize sensitivity to exoplanets and other faint companions.

The effect of information on EU support and attitude ambivalence
Creators: name: Stoeckel, Florian
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: The ambivalence of EU citizens towards the European integration project is an attitude dimension which has largely been neglected, but promises to answer important puzzles. In this paper I measure ambivalence in individual level support for the EU based on how respondents answer two items on the EU. I show empirical support for that more self-assessed and more objective knowledge on the EU decrease ambivalence in EU support. This effect persists among highly educated people, which is taken as evidence that the dependent variable measures ambivalence instead of how nuanced people's attitudes are. I also show that a strong attachment to both one's country and the EU (a dual identity) decreases ambivalence. The relationships are confirmed when tested by using a heteroskedastic regression in which ambivalence is understood as response variation. A final analysis reveals that standard predictors (economic rationality, identity, political cues) explain attitudes towards the EU much more for unambivalent Europeans than for ambivalent ones.

Chemical Indicators of Surface Water Pollution
Creators: name: Chalew, Talia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: High quality surface water is critical for maintaining healthy ecosystems and ensuring
safe drinking water, yet is often compromised by point and non-point contamination
sources. Failed septic systems, an example of non-point source pollution, may generate
pools of untreated or minimally treated wastewater that can runoff into nearby streams.
There are currently no means of quickly determining the impact of this pollution on
surface water.
Representative emerging contaminants (caffeine and triclosan) were targeted as
indicators from failed septic systems and chlorination disinfection byproducts (haloacetic
acids) for the effluent from conventional municipal wastewater treatment plants.
Methods for the analysis of these compounds in various matrices were developed and
applied to both effluent types and surrounding surface waters. Typical caffeine and
triclosan concentrations in conventional municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents
were 0.23μg/L and 0.3μg/L, respectively, as compared to 22μg/L and 7μg/L from septic
tank effluents. Excitation-emission fluorescence spectrophotometry was also
investigated as a tool for characterizing pollution from wastewater sources.

description: How long does it take a random searcher to visit all sites of a given domain? This time, known as the cover time, is a key observable to quantify the efficiency of exhaustive searches, which require a complete exploration of an area and not only the discovery of a single target; examples range from immune system cells chasing pathogens to animals harvesting resources, robotized exploration by e.g. automated cleaners or deminers, or algorithmics. Despite its broad relevance, the cover time has remained elusive and so far explicit results have been scarce and mostly limited to regular random walks. Here we determine the full distribution of the cover time for a broad range of random search processes, which includes the prominent examples of Lévy strategies, intermittent strategies, persistent random walks and random walks on complex networks, and reveal its universal features. We show that for all these examples the mean cover time can be minimized, and that the corresponding optimal strategies also minimize the mean search time for a single target, unambiguously pointing towards their robustness.

description: A detailed study of the anharmonicity-induced resonances caused by the coupling of center-of-mass and relative motion is presented for a system of two ultracold atoms in single-well potentials. As has been confirmed experimentally, these inelastic confinement-induced resonances are of interest, since they can lead to coherent molecule formation, losses, and heating in ultracold atomic gases. A perturbative model is introduced to describe the resonance positions and the coupling strengths. The validity of the model and the behavior of the resonances for different confinement geometries are analyzed in comparison with exact numerical ab initio calculations. While such resonances have so far only been detected for large positive values of the $s$-wave scattering length, it is found that they are present also for negative $s$-wave scattering lengths, i. e. for attractive interactions. The possibility to coherently tune the resonances by a variation of the external confinement geometry might pave the way for coherent molecule association where magnetic Feshbach resonances are inaccessible.

description: We consider a one-dimensional, weakly asymmetric, boundary driven exclusion process on the interval $[0,N]\cap Z$ in the super-diffusive time scale $N^2 ε^{-1}_N$, where $1\ll ε^{-1}_N \ll N^{1/4}$. We assume that the external field and the chemical potentials, which fix the density at the boundaries, evolve smoothly in the macroscopic time scale. We derive an equation which describes the evolution of the density up to the order $ε_N$.

description: We present a simple method to tune optical micro- and nanocavities with picometer precision in the resonant wavelength, corresponding to an effective sub atomic monolayer control of the cavity dimension. This is obtained through resonant photo-electrochemical etching, with in-situ monitoring of the optical spectrum. We employ this technique to spectrally align an ensemble of resonant cavities in a permanent manner, overcoming the dimension variability resulting from current nanofabrication techniques. In a device containing several resonators, each is individually addressed and tuned, with no optical quality factor degradation. The technique is general and opens the way to multiple applications, such as the straightforward fabrication of networks of identical coupled resonators, or the tuning of chip-based cavities to external references.

description: We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group to explore the origin of age and metallicity gradients in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We find that a number of simulated dwarfs form "outside-in", with an old, metal-poor population that surrounds a younger, more concentrated metal-rich component, reminiscent of dwarf spheroidals like Sculptor or Sextans. We focus on a few examples where stars form in two populations distinct in age in order to elucidate the origin of these gradients. The spatial distributions of the two components reflect their diverse origin; the old stellar component is assembled through mergers, but the young population forms largely in situ. The older component results from a first episode of star formation that begins early but is quickly shut off by the combined effects of stellar feedback and reionization. The younger component forms when a late accretion event adds gas and reignites star formation. The effect of mergers is to disperse the old stellar population, increasing their radius and decreasing their central density relative to the young population. We argue that dwarf-dwarf mergers offer a plausible scenario for the formation of systems with multiple distinct populations and, more generally, for the origin of age and metallicity gradients in dwarf spheroidals.

description: Analytical models have been developed for fracture propagation over the last several decades and are now considered with renewed interest; the range of their applicability varies for different materials and different loading conditions. Systematic experimental measurements and numerical simulations are presented against an asymptotic prediction for the crack trajectory developing in solids with small voids (of circular and elliptical shape). The experiments also cover the dynamic regime, where new features involving crack kinking and roughness of the fracture surface occur.

description: We present systematic measurements of longitudinal relaxation rates ($1/T_1$) of spin polarization in the ground state of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV$^-$) color center in synthetic diamond as a function of NV$^-$ concentration and magnetic field $B$. NV$^-$ centers were created by irradiating a Type 1b single-crystal diamond along the [100] axis with 200 keV electrons from a transmission electron microscope with varying doses to achieve spots of different NV$^-$ center concentrations. Values of ($1/T_1$) were measured for each spot as a function of $B$.

description: About 10$\%$ of the massive main sequence stars have recently been found to host a strong, large scale magnetic field. Both, the origin and the evolutionary consequences of these fields are largely unknown. We argue that these fields may be sufficiently strong in the deep interior of the stars to suppress convection near the outer edge of their convective core. We performed parametrised stellar evolution calculations and assumed a reduced size of the convective core for stars in the mass range 16 M$_{\odot}$ to 28 M$_{\odot}$ from the zero age main sequence until core carbon depletion. We find that such models avoid the coolest part of the main sequence band, which is usually filled by evolutionary models that include convective core overshooting. Furthermore, our `magnetic' models populate the blue supergiant region during core helium burning, i.e., the post-main sequence gap left by ordinary single star models, and some of them end their life in a position near that of the progenitor of Supernova 1987A in the HR diagram. Further effects include a strongly reduced luminosity during the red supergiant stage, and downward shift of the limiting initial mass for white dwarf and neutron star formation.

Professional grow plans and teacher learning
Creators: name: Spencer-Dahl, Denise
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Self-efficacy

description: Teacher self-efficacy beliefs and shared and supportive leadership practices were quantified in this study and correlated with attitudes towards the purpose of Professional Growth Plans. A paper based survey instrument was used to collect the data from participating teachers employed in School District 69 (Qualicum). Two hundred teachers were invited to be part of the study of which 88 participants completed the survey. It was hypothesized that teacher self-efficacy and perceived shared and supportive leadership behaviours would impact a teacher’s attitude towards adopting a Professional Grow Plan as a tool for student and teacher learning. This study found no correlations existed between teacher self-efficacy and perceived shared and supportive leadership practices. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the teachers’ beliefs about the proposed purpose of Professional Grow Plans indicated that they should be personal in nature and not be required to align with school, district or Ministry goals. There was a bimodal distribution of whether Professional Grow Plans should be used as a component of teacher evaluations. Further research is needed to determine if Professional Grow Plans should be pursued as a framework to guide funding and future professional development initiatives in School District 69 (Qualicum).
