description: The study aims to contribute to better understanding sources of individual differences in susceptibility to cognitive biases in diagnostic reasoning by examining the role of specific disease knowledge in counteracting bias. Specifically, the study will investigate whether knowledge of features that discriminate between plausible diagnoses for a clinical presentation predicts physicians' susceptibility to bias in diagnostic reasoning.

description: The mass of a star is arguably its most fundamental parameter. For red giant stars, tracers luminous enough to be observed across the Galaxy, mass implies a stellar evolution age. It has proven to be extremely difficult to infer ages and masses directly from red giant spectra using existing methods. From the KEPLER and APOGEE surveys, samples of several thousand stars exist with high-quality spectra and asteroseismic masses. Here we show that from these data we can build a data-driven spectral model using The Cannon, which can determine stellar masses to $\sim$ 0.07 dex from APOGEE DR12 spectra of red giants; these imply age estimates accurate to $\sim$ 0.2 dex (40 percent). We show that The Cannon constrains these ages foremost from spectral regions with CN absorption lines, elements whose surface abundances reflect mass-dependent dredge-up. We deliver an unprecedented catalog of 80,000 giants (including 20,000 red-clump stars) with mass and age estimates, spanning the entire disk (from the Galactic center to R $\sim$ 20 kpc). We show that the age information in the spectra is not simply a corollary of the birth-material abundances [Fe/H] and [$α$/Fe], and that even within a mono-abundance population of stars, there are age variations that vary sensibly with Galactic position. Such stellar age constraints across the Milky Way open up new avenues in Galactic archeology.

description: We study aspects of heterotic/F-theory duality for compactifications with Abelian gauge symmetries. We consider F-theory on general Calabi-Yau manifolds with a rank one Mordell-Weil group of rational sections. By rigorously performing the stable degeneration limit in a class of toric models, we derive both the Calabi-Yau geometry as well as the spectral cover describing the vector bundle in the heterotic dual theory. We carefully investigate the spectral cover employing the group law on the elliptic curve in the heterotic theory. We find in explicit examples that there are three different classes of heterotic duals that have U(1) factors in their low energy effective theories: split spectral covers describing bundles with S(U(m) x U(1)) structure group, spectral covers containing torsional sections that seem to give rise to bundles with SU(m) x Z_k structure group and bundles with purely non-Abelian structure groups having a centralizer in E_8 containing a U(1) factor. In the former two cases, it is required that the elliptic fibration on the heterotic side has a non-trivial Mordell-Weil group. While the number of geometrically massless U(1)'s is determined entirely by geometry on the F-theory side, on the heterotic side the correct number of U(1)'s is found by taking into account a Stuckelberg mechanism in the lower-dimensional effective theory. In geometry, this corresponds to the condition that sections in the two half K3 surfaces that arise in the stable degeneration limit of F-theory can be glued together globally.

Scenarios for survival: representations of nuclear war in American and Soviet civil defense manuals, 1954-1972
Creators: name: Geist, Edward Moore
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This thesis examines the way in which American and Soviet civil defense manuals conceptualized the nuclear threat for ordinary citizens during the height of the nuclear arms race. The two programs were dramatically different in the way they perceived the nuclear threat, and as a result created radically different programs to combat it. Whereas American civil defense was obsessed with the prospect of a Soviet sneak attack and perturbed by the prospect of home front militarization for civil defense, its Soviet counterpart regarded nuclear war as a foreseeable catastrophe and reveled in its role as a militarized effort at mass mobilization. As a result of these differences, the Soviet Union was able to create a far more formidable system of civil defense propaganda than the United States.
title: An alternative physiological role for the EmhABC efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens cLP6a

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Bacteria
subject: Pseudomonas fluorescens

description: Background: Efflux pumps belonging to the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) superfamily in bacteria are involved in antibiotic resistance and solvent tolerance but have an unknown physiological role. EmhABC, a RND-type efflux pump in Pseudomonas fluorescens strain cLP6a, extrudes hydrophobic antibiotics, dyes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons including phenanthrene. The effects of physico-chemical factors such as temperature or antibiotics on the activity and expression of EmhABC were determined in order to deduce its physiological role(s) in strain cLP6a in comparison to the emhB disruptant strain, cLP6a-1. Results: Efflux assays conducted with 14C-phenanthrene showed that EmhABC activity is affected by incubation temperature. Increased phenanthrene efflux was measured in cLP6a cells grown at 10°C and decreased efflux was observed at 35°C compared with cells grown at the optimum temperature of 28°C. Membrane fatty acids in cLP6a cells were substantially altered by changes in growth temperature and in the presence of tetracycline. Changed membrane fatty acids and increased membrane permeability were associated with ~30-fold increased expression of emhABC in cLP6a cells grown at 35°C, and with increased extracellular free fatty acids. Growth of P. fluorescens cLP6a at supra-optimal temperature was enhanced by the presence of EmhABC compared to strain cLP6a-1. Conclusions: Combined, these observations suggest that the EmhABC efflux pump may be involved in the management of membrane stress effects such as those due to unfavourable incubation temperatures. Efflux of fatty acids replaced as a result of membrane damage or phospholipid turnover may be the primary physiological role of the EmhABC efflux pump in P. fluorescens cLP6a.

description: We continue our series of studies of high-energy collisions of black holes investigating unequal-mass, boosted head-on collisions in four dimensions. We show that the fraction of the center-of-mass energy radiated as gravitational waves becomes independent of mass ratio and approximately equal to $13\%$ at large energies. We support this conclusion with calculations using black hole perturbation theory and Smarr's zero-frequency limit approximation. These results lend strong support to the conjecture that the detailed structure of the colliding objects is irrelevant at high energies.

3D $τ_{RR}$-minimization in AdS$_4$ gauged supergravity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: In this paper we propose the identification in AdS4 N = 2 gauged supergravity of the coefficient $τ_{RR}$ of 3D N = 2 SCFTs. We constraint the structure of this function in supergravity by combining the results from unitarity, holography and localization. We show that our conjectured function is minimized by the exact R-charge, corresponding to a gravitational attractor for the scalars in the special geometry. We identify this mechanism with the supergravity dual of the $τ_{RR}$-minimization. We check this proposal in the ABJM model, comparing with the expectations from localization and the AdS/CFT duality. We comment also on some possible relations with the black hole microstate counting, recently obtained from the application of localization techniques.

Relationships of Pliocene magmatism in the northern Sierra Nevada Range to lithospheric delamination and the ancestral Cascade Range
Creators: name: Moore, Jessica Erin
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Delamination has been invoked to explain Pliocene (3.5 Ma) magmatic activity in the central and southern Sierra Nevada Range (SNR). However, the extent and timing of proposed delamination is unknown. By examining volcanic rocks of a similar age in the northern SNR the extent of delamination can be further characterized. Alternatively, Pliocene magmatism in the northern SNR could be a result of subduction, making the area part of an ancestral Cascade Range. The Mendocino Triple Junction was located just south of Lake Tahoe at the time of eruption of Pliocene magmatism in the northern part of the range. Although the geochemical and isotopic compositions of the samples from the northern SNR are closely related to Cascade magmatism the differences include: higher K2O and lower MgO and CaO at a given value of SiO2, a restricted range of SiO2, and two distinct magmatic events at 4 and 11 Ma.

description: The triggering mechanisms for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are still debated. Some of the most popular ones include galaxy interactions (IT) and disk instabilities (DI). Using an advanced semi analytic model (SAM) of galaxy formation, coupled to accurate halo occupation distribution modeling, we investigate the imprint left by each separate triggering process on the clustering strength of AGN at small and large scales. Our main results are as follows: i) DIs, irrespective of their exact implementation in the SAM, tend to fall short in triggering AGN activity in galaxies at the center of halos with $M_h>10^{13.5} h^{-1}M_{\odot}$. On the contrary, the IT scenario predicts abundance of active, central galaxies that generally agrees well with observations at every halo mass. ii) The relative number of satellite AGN in DIs at intermediate-to-low luminosities is always significantly higher than in IT models, especially in groups and clusters. The low AGN satellite fraction predicted for the IT scenario might suggest that different feeding modes could simultaneously contribute to the triggering of satellite AGN. iii) Both scenarios are quite degenerate in matching large-scale clustering measurements, suggesting that the sole average bias might not be an effective observational constraint. iv) Our analysis suggests the presence of both a mild luminosity and a more consistent redshift dependence in the AGN clustering, with AGN inhabiting progressively less massive dark matter halos as the redshift increases. We also discuss the impact of different observational selection cuts in measuring AGN clustering, including possible discrepancies between optical and X-ray surveys.

The Storied Nature of Crime: A Study of Jordanian Offenders' Narrative Roles and Emotional Experiences Across Different Crime Types
Creators: name: Hussein, Tania I.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In exploring the subjective experience of crime using self-report methods, research indicated that Western offenders' narrative roles and emotional experiences of crime could instigate and shape their criminal behaviours. The central aim of this thesis was to provide an enriched understanding of male and female offenders' criminal narratives within a non-Western cultural context by exploring their narrative roles and emotional experiences across different crime types. This thesis is the first of its kind to examine offenders' narratives within an Arab context; compare the findings between genders and cross-culturally; and consider variations in offenders' narrative experiences across different crimes. A total of 108 convicted Jordanian offenders (92 males and 16 females) were recruited from four different prisons in Jordan. Their age range was 19-61 years. Participants completed demographic and crime related questions, the Narrative Roles Questionnaire (NRQ) and the Emotions Felt During Crime Questionnaire (EFDCQ). Smallest Space Analysis (SSA) supported the existence of four emotion themes of Calm, Elation, Depression and Distress for both genders in line with Russell's (1997) Circumplex Structure of Affect. SSA also supported the existence of four narrative role themes (Hero, Professional, Revenger and Victim); however, Frye's (1957) notion of a cyclical order was only partially achieved. The Professional and Hero roles were relevant for male property and drug offenders in contrast to females where the Hero role was relevant for violent offenders. The Calm theme for males was more evident in sexual offences and the Distress theme in murder. For females, the Calm theme was evident in violent and drug offences; however, not to a significant level. Conceptual similarities and differences with previous research were noted. Adjustments to the NRQ and EFDCQ were suggested to ensure cultural relevance. The theoretical, methodological, and practical implications of the findings are discussed, and suggestions for future research highlighted.

description: Title: Confirmatory Factor Analysis of Survey Items Measuring Perceptions of Protest Threat Survey: We have collected (but not yet analyzed) data from a recent survey. The survey included 14 items designed to measure Whites’ perceptions of a set of seven specific threats arising from protests by Black athletes (kneeling during the U.S. national anthem. A total of 10 of the items were adapted from items used by Cottrell, Richards, and Nichols (2010) to measure five specific intergroup threat perceptions (two items per threat subscale). An additional 4 items were generated by the present researchers to measure forms of threat specific to the athletes’ protests. The goal of this project is to use confirmatory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of the items.

description: In the context of observations of the rest-frame ultraviolet and optical emission from distant galaxies, we explore the emission-line properties of photoionization models of active and inactive galaxies. Our aim is to identify new line-ratio diagnostics to discriminate between gas photoionization by active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation. We use a standard photoionization code to compute the emission from AGN narrow-line regions and compare this with calculations of the nebular emission from star-forming galaxies achieved using the same code. We confirm the appropriateness of widely used optical spectral diagnostics of nuclear activity versus star formation and explore new diagnostics at ultraviolet wavelengths. We find that combinations of a collisionally excited metal line or line multiplet, such as CIV 1548,1551, OIII]1661,1666, NIII]1750, [SiIII]1883+[SiIII]1892 and [CIII]1907+CIII]1909, with the HeII 1640 recombination line are individually good discriminants of the nature of the ionizing source. Diagrams involving at least 3 of these lines allow an even more stringent distinction between active and inactive galaxies, as well as valuable constraints on interstellar gas parameters and the shape of the ionizing radiation. Several line ratios involving Ne-based emission lines, such as [NeIV]2424, [NeIII]3343 and [NeV]3426, are also good diagnostics of nuclear activity. Our results provide a comprehensive framework to identify the sources of photoionization and physical conditions of the ionized gas from the ultraviolet and optical nebular emission from galaxies. This will be particularly useful to interpret observations of high-redshift galaxies with future facilities, such as the James Webb Space Telescope and extremely large ground-based telescopes.

description: We study oxygen abundance profiles of the gaseous disc components in simulated galaxies in a hierarchical universe. We analyse the disc metallicity gradients in relation to the stellar masses and star formation rates of the simulated galaxies. We find a trend for galaxies with low stellar masses to have steeper metallicity gradients than galaxies with high stellar masses at z ~0. We also detect that the gas-phase metallicity slopes and the specific star formation rate (sSFR) of our simulated disc galaxies are consistent with recently reported observations at z ~0. Simulated galaxies with high stellar masses reproduce the observed relationship at all analysed redshifts and have an increasing contribution of discs with positive metallicity slopes with increasing redshift. Simulated galaxies with low stellar masses a have larger fraction of negative metallicity gradients with increasing redshift. Simulated galaxies with positive or very negative metallicity slopes exhibit disturbed morphologies and/or have a close neighbour. We analyse the evolution of the slope of the oxygen profile and sSFR for a gas-rich galaxy-galaxy encounter, finding that this kind of events could generate either positive and negative gas-phase oxygen profiles depending on their state of evolution. Our results support claims that the determination of reliable metallicity gradients as a function of redshift is a key piece of information to understand galaxy formation and set constrains on the subgrid physics.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, perceived ability, and practice behaviors of pediatric oncology and hematology nurses in assisting with the various oral health care needs of pediatric oncology patients and to identify pediatric oncology nurses' previous training/education, practice types, and other demographic characteristics that are related to their oral health competencies. A survey of a convenience sample of nurses was conducted during the Association of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology Nurses' (APHON) 36th Annual Conference and Exhibit. Among the 300 surveys that were distributed, 235 surveys were returned, giving a response rate of 78%. Approximately 75% of survey participants reported receiving less than 3 hours of oral health related education/training and 60% did not have a clinical requirement regarding the assessment of the teeth and gums during their nursing school education. Pediatric oncology nurses' knowledge, perceived ability, and practice behaviors vary by topic and might reflect their educational preparedness.

description: Bacterial chemotaxis systems are as diverse as the environments that bacteria inhabit, but how much environmental variation can cells tolerate with a single system? Diversification of a single chemotaxis system could serve as an alternative, or even evolutionary stepping-stone, to switching between multiple systems. We hypothesized that mutations in gene regulation could lead to heritable control of chemotactic diversity. By simulating foraging and colonization of E. coli using a single-cell chemotaxis model, we found that different environments selected for different behaviors. The resulting trade-offs show that populations facing diverse environments would ideally diversify behaviors when time for navigation is limited. We show that advantageous diversity can arise from changes in the distribution of protein levels among individuals, which could occur through mutations in gene regulation. We propose experiments to test our prediction that chemotactic diversity in a clonal population could be a selectable trait that enables adaptation to environmental variability.

Examining the Re-Segregation of Public Schools in the U.S.: School Choice and Whites’ Preferences
Creators: name: Bielamowicz, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Although the expansion of school choice options in the U.S. has been widely discussed, few studies have examined their impact on racial segregation in traditional public schools. I study this relationship by examining changes in levels of White-Black, White-Hispanic, and White-Asian segregation of school-age children in schools and their catchment areas between 2000 and 2010 in the 22 largest school districts in the U.S. Findings show that schools have higher levels of segregation than their corresponding catchment areas and that school segregation increased in a majority of these districts during this time period, independent of changes in residential segregation. In a second study of over 20,000 schools in the 2009-2010 school year, I examine the factors that predict the enrollment of Whites in their neighborhood schools. I find that, net of a school’s quality, the racial composition of the catchment area continues to have a significant effect on White enrollment.

Oxidative Stress Modulates Response To Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy
Creators: name: Alsaidi, Abdel-ghany
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Oxidative stress is an important physiologic modifier of immune and inflammatory mechanisms. We hypothesized that the elevated total-body oxidative stress, measured by serum levels of 8-isoprostane, impairs: 1- biofilm IgG response to periodontal therapy 2- clinical parameter responses to periodontal therapy. 108 subjects diagnosed with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were recruited in this single-blinded, delayed treatment, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Subjects were randomly assigned to 2 groups (delayed treatment and combination treatment groups). Both groups were clinically evaluated and biological samples collected at minus 6 weeks (run-in period), 0 weeks (baseline- treatment provided to one group only), 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. In addition to probing depth (PD) and bleeding on probing (BOP) measured at 6 sites per tooth, serum was used for analysis of total 8-isoprostane and IgG antibodies against a panel of 17 common periodontal bacteria. At the completion of the study, 87 patients had a complete data set at the 6 month follow -up. Treatment resulted in a transient increase in total IgG levels at 2-weeks which returned to baseline levels by 6 weeks. This increase in IgG titers in response to treatment was seen predominantly among subjects with low oxidative stress at baseline (2.2 fold greater than high oxidative stress group). Furthermore, low oxidative stress was associated with much better clinical response (PD and BOP) as compared to subjects with high oxidative stress. These findings suggest that systemic oxidative stress impairs IgG response and the clinical response to non-surgical periodontal therapy.

How can fictional models be explanatory?
Creators: name: Brainard, Lindsay Marissa
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Fictional scientific models include falsehoods that are not captured under the categories of simplification, approximation, or idealization. Recent commentators have found it puzzling that these literally false models are still capable, in some cases of furnishing scientific explanations. In this paper, I spell out a paradox that arises from accepting the explanatory capacity of fictional scientific models and provide a way of understanding these models that resolves the paradox. My proposed solution is that we should understand fictional scientific models as a type of paraphrasable metaphor. I apply my solution to three case studies and conclude on the basis of its successful application that my proposal provides a better way of understanding these models than the competing accounts I consider.
