title: Legal Pluralism and Religion in Early Modern History: The Case of Ireland

description: In this paper, I trace the coexistence of legal traditions in early modern Ireland in order to examine the impact of legal plurality on religion and vice versa. I argue that new legislation designed to bring about legal unity instead created legal pluralism, providing important incentives for creativity and pragmatism. I find that contract law created large-scale exceptions to the principles of Anglo-Irish Canon Law, which promoted religious uniformity through legal boundary-work, and placed much greater emphasis on religious coexistence. Contracts created predictability, enabled mutually beneficial transactions, and potentially avoided religious strife by committing both faith groups to a shared future. Legal transactions and interpersonal commitments put canon law in brackets but did not question its validity or sustainability. Conflicts tended to arise only when they were brought to the fore by key actors with vested interests or when they sought to highlight specific religio-political issues.
description: Dieser Beitrag untersucht am Beispiel Irlands das Verhältnis von Rechtsvielfalt und Religion in der Frühen Neuzeit. Er geht von der These aus, dass Rechtsnormen, die auf dem Feld des anglikanischen Kirchenrechts für rechtliche Homogenität sorgen sollten, ihr Ziel weit verfehlten und stattdessen mehr statt weniger Rechtsvielfalt produzierten. Denn vor dem Hintergrund massiver religiös-konfessioneller Gegensätze stifteten die untersuchten Prozesse der Rechtsangleichung die Akteure zu kreativen 'Workarounds' an – nicht zuletzt mit den Mitteln des Rechts. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass vor allem privatrechtliche Verträge von den Akteuren häufig dazu genutzt werden, die intendierte Vereinheitlichung des Rechts einzuhegen. Diese bewirkten eine situative Neutralisierung des anglikanischen Kirchenrechts, ohne dessen Gültigkeit prinzipiell infrage zu stellen. Zudem verhinderten sie für lange Zeit Glaubenskonflikte, indem sie beide Konfessionen auf eine gemeinsame Zukunft verpflichteten. Religiös-konfessionelle Konflikte traten in aller Regel ausschließlich dann auf, wenn sie von den Akteuren ganz bewusst auf die Agenda gesetzt wurden.

description: We investigate how dark energy properties impact the cosmological limits on the total mass of active neutrinos. We consider two typical, simple dark energy models (that have only one more additional parameter than $Λ$CDM), i.e., the $w$CDM model and the holographic dark energy (HDE) model, as examples, to make an analysis. In the cosmological fits, we use the Planck 2015 temperature and polarization data, in combination with other low-redshift observations, including the baryon acoustic oscillations, type Ia supernovae, and Hubble constant measurement, as well as the Planck lensing measurements. We find that, once dynamical dark energy is considered, the degeneracy between $\sum m_ν$ and $H_0$ will be changed, i.e., in the $Λ$CDM model, $\sum m_ν$ is anti-correlated with $H_0$, but in the $w$CDM and HDE models, $\sum m_ν$ becomes positively correlated with $H_0$. Compared to $Λ$CDM, in the $w$CDM model the limit on $\sum m_ν$ becomes much looser, but in the HDE model the limit becomes much tighter. In the HDE model, we obtain $\sum m_ν<0.113$ eV ($95\%$ CL) with the combined data sets, which is perhaps the most stringent upper limit by far on neutrino mass. Thus, our result in the HDE model is nearly ready to diagnose the neutrino mass hierarchy with the current cosmological observations.

description: We calculate near-threshold bound states and Feshbach resonance positions for atom + rigid-rotor models of the highly anisotropic systems Li+CaH and Li+CaF. We perform statistical analysis on the resonance positions to compare with the predictions of random matrix theory. For Li+CaH with total angular momentum $J=0$ we find fully chaotic behavior in both the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution and the level number variance. However, for $J>0$ we find different behavior due to the presence of a nearly conserved quantum number. Li+CaF ($J=0$) also shows apparently reduced levels of chaotic behavior despite its stronger effective coupling. We suggest this may indicate the development of another good quantum number relating to a bending motion of the complex. However, continuously varying the rotational constant over a wide range shows unexpected structure in the degree of chaotic behavior, including a dramatic reduction around the rotational constant of CaF. This demonstrates the complexity of the relationship between coupling and chaotic behavior.

The Restricted Ketogenic Diet for the Management of Gliomas: A Literature Review and Case Study
Creators: name: Locklear, Courtney
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Glioma is the general term for a brain tumor, and within that is the classification of glioblastoma, also called a grade IV glioma, which is the most aggressive. It is characterized by necrotic cells and can be composed of several different types of brain cells. Thus, glioblastomas are especially difficult when it comes to implementing the most effective treatments. The prognosis of patients diagnosed with a glioblastomas is poor, with treatment options often being uncertain and ineffective. Glioblastomas are the most commonly diagnosed type of glioma, making up over half of brain tumor cases in the U.S. Most glioblastoma patients do not survive beyond 15 months after diagnosis, with a 5 year survival of less than 3%. Therefore, it is critical to consider alternatives for managing this specific type of tumor due to its aggressive nature and dismal outcomes. Since the majority of glioma patients are directed to palliative care, implementing a restricted ketogenic diet can be a final, non-toxic option. However, studies are also showing that the diet in combination with standard therapies, particularly radiation, improves the effects of the treatment as the tumor cells are in a more ‘vulnerable’ state.

Intrinsic upper bound on two-qubit polarization entanglement predetermined by pump polarization correlations in parametric down-conversion

description: We study how one-particle correlations transfer to manifest as two-particle correlations in the context of parametric down-conversion (PDC), a process in which a pump photon is annihilated to produce two entangled photons. We work in the polarization degree of freedom and show that for any two-qubit generation process that is both trace-preserving and entropy-nondecreasing, the concurrence $C(ρ)$ of the generated two-qubit state $ρ$ follows an intrinsic upper bound with $C(ρ)\leq (1+P)/2$, where $P$ is the degree of polarization of the pump photon. We also find that for the class of two qubit states that is restricted to have only two non-zero diagonal elements such that the effective dimensionality of the two-qubit state is same as the dimensionality of the pump polarization state, the upper bound on concurrence is the degree of polarization itself, that is, $C(ρ)\leq P$. Our work shows that the maximum manifestation of two-particle correlations as entanglement is dictated by one-particle correlations. The formalism developed in this work can be extended to include multi-particle systems and can thus have important implications towards deducing the upper bounds on multi-particle entanglement, for which no universally accepted measure exists.

For these models, we analyse the correlation length of order $p$, and prove the existence of a logarithmic correction to mean-field scaling, with power $\frac 12\frac{n+2}{n+8}$, for all $n \ge 0$ and $p>0$. The proof is based on an improvement of a rigorous renormalisation group method developed previously.

The role of micronutrient supplementation in the treatment of pressure injuries:  A literature review
Creators: name: Vos, Natasha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Pressure injuries affect more than 2.5 million individuals each year and cost between 9 and 11 billion dollars to treat. The importance of adequate energy and protein supplementation to promote the healing of wounds, such as pressure injuries, has been well established, however the role of micronutrients, specifically the amino acids arginine and glutamine, the metabolite HMB, vitamins A and C, and the mineral zinc, is less clear. 10 studies, 2 literature reviews and 2 systematic reviews/meta-analysis were included in this review with outcomes focused on indicators of pressure injury healing. While many studies contain significant limitations related to sample size and length of study, the overall results of supplementation show promise in the treatment of pressure injuries, especially in the setting of existing malnutrition and likely deficiency. Pressure injuries are associated with many negative health outcomes that can prolong immobility, compromise nutrition and contribute to morbidity and mortality. The drawbacks to supplementation are minimal and far outweighed by the positive effects.

description: The orthographic neighbourhood of a word refers to the set of words that can be formed by substituting a single letter in a target word (e.g. the neighbourhood of ‘sleet’ is fleet, sheet, skeet, sweet, slept, sleek, and sleep). The size of this neighbourhood (N; Coltheart, Davelaar, Jonasson, & Besner, 1977), referred to as ‘Nsize’ hereafter, has been reported to influence word identification. Several studies using the lexical decision paradigm have indicated that, for words presented in foveal vision, a larger Nsize is typically associated with more accurate and faster response (Andrews, 1997). Under lateralised presentation, the effect of Nsize is largely faciliatory for words presented in the left visual field (LVF). However, the effect of Nsize in the right visual field (RVF) has been reported to be weaker or even inhibitory (Ellis, 2004; Lavidor & Ellis, 2001, 2002a, 2002b; Perea, Acha, & Fraga, 2008; Whitney, 2004). While it is generally accepted that the role of Nsize differs across each hemisphere, there has been no attempt to make a statistical synthesis to examine whether the effect of Nsize is positive in the RVF and negative in the LVF. Thus, a meta-analysis of the Nsize effect will be able to provide clarification on the somewhat controversial role of Nsize in the LVF. Attached to this registration is a completed version of the NIRO guidelines which detail the review and analysis plan for said meta-analysis.

description: We study universal features in the shape dependence of entanglement entropy in the vacuum state of a conformal field theory (CFT) on $\mathbb{R}^{1,d-1}$. We consider the entanglement entropy across a deformed planar or spherical entangling surface in terms of a perturbative expansion in the infinitesimal shape deformation. In particular, we focus on the second order term in this expansion, known as the entanglement density. This quantity is known to be non-positive by the strong-subadditivity property. We show from a purely field theory calculation that the non-local part of the entanglement density in any CFT is universal, and proportional to the coefficient $C_T$ appearing in the two-point function of stress tensors in that CFT. As applications of our result, we prove the conjectured universality of the corner term coefficient $\fracσ{C_T}=\frac{π^2}{24}$ in $d=3$ CFTs, and the holographic Mezei formula for entanglement entropy across deformed spheres.

The role of the 2015 USDA school nutrition standards in addressing childhood obesity
Creators: name: Bellfi, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Childhood obesity is a serious threat to the health of America's Youth. In 2012 more than one third of children and adolescents aged 2-19 were overweight or obese. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents over the past 30 years. While many factors such as physical inactivity, built environment and genetics play contributing roles in the development of obesity, this paper focuses on the role of nutrition in schools with a focus on recent changes to the standards for the USDA School Meals Program. Approximately 30-40% of the daily energy consumed by children and adolescents in the U.S. is consumed as energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods and drinks. Consumption of energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods is associated with increased risk of weight gain. Given the high rates of childhood obesity and poor overall diet quality of America's youth, nutrition intake at school has become a focus of policy makers, parents, school administrators and the general public. The school environment provides numerous opportunities for food consumption, such as al a'carte items, school fundraisers and school meals. Over 31 million students participate in the School Lunch Program and 12 million students participate in the School Breakfast program, with the average child consuming 25- 50% of their daily caloric intake at school during the school year. Given these facts, school meals present an opportunity to positively impact the average American child's diet. In January of 2012, the USDA established new nutrition guidelines for the School Breakfast and Lunch Programs in an effort to improve the nutritional quality of the meals students receive. The guidelines require that students be offered both fruits and vegetables every day of the week; be served a wider variety of vegetables; be served only "whole-grain rich" grain products; be served reduced trans fat and sodium containing foods; be provided meals that fall within age-appropriate calorie ranges, and be offered only reduced fat (non-flavored) and fat-free (flavored and non-flavored) milk. Standards surrounding sodium and trans fat are not explored in this paper. Although some studies have found salt intake to be associated with adiposity, the main health outcome targeted with these standards is prevention of hypertension. With regards to trans fats, all of the studies in my preliminary literature search found trans fats to be positively associated with adiposity and/or other poor health outcomes, citing no benefits associated with the inclusion of trans fats in an individual's diet. The purpose of this paper is to explore the strengths and limitations of the new nutrition standards related to fruits/vegetables, whole grains, beverages and calorie requirements in addressing the current American childhood obesity epidemic.

description: Memristor-aided logic (MAGIC) design style holds a high promise for realizing digital logic-in-memory functionality. The ability to implement a specific gate in a MAGIC design style hinges on the SET-to-RESET threshold ratio. The TaOx memristive devices exhibit distinct SET-to-RESET ratios, enabling the implementation of OR and NOT operations. As the adoption of the MAGIC design style gains momentum, it becomes crucial to understand the breakdown of energy consumption in the various phases of its operation. This paper presents experimental demonstrations of the OR and NOT gates on a 1T1R crossbar array. Additionally, it provides insights into the energy distribution for performing these operations at different stages. Through our experiments across different gates, we found that the energy consumption is dominated by initialization in the MAGIC design style. The energy split-up is 14.8%, 85%, and 0.2% for execution, initialization, and read operations respectively.

description: We study glassy dynamics using a simulation of three soft Brownian particles confined to a two-dimensional circular region. If the circular region is large, the disks freely rearrange, but rearrangements are rarer for smaller system sizes. We directly measure a one-dimensional free energy landscape characterizing the dynamics. This landscape has two local minima corresponding to the two distinct disk configurations, separated by a free energy barrier which governs the rearrangement rate. We study several different interaction potentials and demonstrate that the free energy barrier is composed of a potential energy barrier and an entropic barrier. The heights of both of these barriers depend on temperature and system size, demonstrating how non-Arrhenius behavior can arise close to the glass transition.

Body Satisfaction and Health Behaviors in High School Girls: A Grant Proposal to Implement the New Moves Program in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
Creators: name: Frutchey, Jenny
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Adolescent overweight and obesity is an issue of great public health importance and is prevalent in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) high school-age girls. Overweight and obesity has many implications for adolescent girls, from developing chronic diseases to being the target of weight-related teasing. These and other effects often extend into later life, as children who are overweight are more likely to be overweight or obese as adults. Overweight and obese women are at risk for diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and other diseases, and likely to face significant weight-related discrimination and even to earn less than normal weight women. 60% of CMS students identify as African American or Hispanic, and they are more likely to be overweight or obese than white students. Body dissatisfaction, associated with negative emotional well-being, unhealthy weight control practices, weight gain, and poor health outcomes, is also widely prevalent in CMS teen girls. With New Moves Charlotte-Mecklenburg, CMS aims to prevent a variety of problems associated with weight in at-risk and disadvantaged adolescent girls attending high schools in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Such problems include overweight and obesity as well as disordered eating and eating disorders. The New Moves program targets an increase in healthy eating and an increase in physical activity among participating students. By promoting body satisfaction and healthy lifestyles, New Moves' long-term objectives are to prevent overweight and obesity as well as eating disorders. New Moves is a theory-based, experimentally-tested intervention that has been proven to effectively promote healthy eating and physical activity through an alternative, all-girls physical education (PE) program. In the first two quarters of the school year, participating girls at each high school will attend the New Moves class. Each week, they will have four physical activity classes taught by trained PE teachers and community guest fitness instructors and one class on either nutrition topics or self-empowerment topics, as designated by the New Moves curriculum. In the second two quarters, participating girls will attend a weekly session during the lunch period with their cohort and PE teacher for a healthy lunch, informal discussion on health and wellness-related topics, and social support. Individual counseling sessions, a parent/guardian outreach component, and community collaborations further enhance the program. CMS is requesting a total budget of $190,886 for the 24-month grant period in order to launch the New Moves program at our high schools and integrate it into existing services to better promote and protect the health and well-being of adolescent girls.

description: Many governments have introduced sugary drink excise taxes to reduce purchasing and consumption of such drinks; however, they do not typically stipulate how such taxes should be communicated at point-of-purchase. Historical, field, and experimental data entailing over 225,000 purchase decisions indicated that introducing a $0.01/ounce SSB tax—without making it salient on price tags—had no effect on purchasing (-1.26%; p=.28). However, when “Includes Sugary Drink Tax” was added to tax-inclusive price tags, SSB purchasing was lower than: pre-tax (-9.78%; p<. 001); a post-tax period when drinks did not bear price tags (-5.04%; p<.001); and a post-tax period when drinks bore tax-inclusive price tags that did not mention the tax (-3.83%, p=.002). Making the tax’s beneficiary (student programs) salient on price tags had no added effect. Two follow-up experiments suggest that tax-salience was effective partly because consumers overestimate the tax amount, leading to reduced purchase intention.
Solving constrained combinatorial optimization problems on quantum devices with linear penalty terms

description: Quantum computing approaches to solving constrained combinatorial optimization problems, such as Quantum Annealing (QA) and the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), are often impeded by the fact that constraints are typically implemented as costly quadratic penalty terms in the cost function. It was recently found that linear penalty terms might suffice to solve a specific class of constrained optimizationproblems [1]. Here, conditions are outlined under which linear penalty terms can correctly encode two other constrained optimization problems, namely the Quadratic Knapsack Problem (QKP) and the Portfolio Optimization (PO) problem. For these two problems, our QAOA simulations suggest that problem Hamiltonians with a linear penaltyterm can yield a higher success probability than those with the usual quadratic penaltyterm. However, algorithm performance depends on the precise specification of the problems, e.g., the distribution of the covariances between assets in the PO problem. Additionally, for the fully connected PO problem it seems possible to neglect some of the connections between qubits by setting the corresponding problem coefficients to zero,while maintaining similar performance. Since the linear penalty terms can be implemented as single-qubit gates or biases, such problems require lower connectivity of thequantum hardware or can be run with shallower circuits, which should lead to improvedperformance on today’s noisy quantum processors.[1] Puya Mirkarimi, Ishaan Shukla, David C.

description: We present detailed calculations for quantum-gravitational corrections to the power spectra of gauge-invariant scalar and tensor perturbations during inflation. This is done by performing a semiclassical Born-Oppenheimer type of approximation to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, from which we obtain a Schroedinger equation with quantum-gravitational correction terms. As a first step, we perform our calculation for a de Sitter universe and find that the correction terms lead to an enhancement of power on the largest scales.

An evaluation of the relationships between Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating, and dieting behaviors in college women
Creators: name: Pimentel, Daniela
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: In this paper, Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating (IE) approaches are evaluated in relation to their effect on patterns of dieting in college aged women. The mechanism by which health at every size and intuitive eating interventions affect dieting and health behaviors is explored, and interventions utilizing this approach are evaluated. 3 papers were identified in the literature which either studied associations between intuitive eating and health behaviors in college students, and 4 interventions that utilized this approach were identified. Though more information is needed to further understand this approach, all evidence shows that HAES/IE interventions are valuable in this population in that they reduce pathologic eating and dieting behaviors and improve other health outcomes. It is important to study this approach in other populations to further understand its functionality among different individuals.
High teleportation rates using cold-atom ensemble based quantum repeaters with Rydberg blockade

description: We present a simplified version of a repeater protocol in a cold neutral-atom ensemble with Rydberg excitations optimized for two-node entanglement generation and describe a protocol for quantum teleportation. Our proposal draws from previous proposals [Zhao, {\sl et al.}, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 81}, 052329 (2010)] and [Han, {\sl et al.} Phys. Rev. A {\bf 81}, 052311 (2010)] who described efficient and robust protocols for long-distance entanglement with many nodes. Using realistic experimental values we predict an entanglement generation rate of $\sim$25 Hz and teleportation rate of $\sim$ 5 Hz. Our predicted rates match the current state of the art experiments for entanglement generation and teleportation between quantum memories. With improved efficiencies we predict entanglement generation and teleportation rates of $\sim$7.8 kHz and $\sim$3.6 kHz respectively, representing a two order of magnitude improvement over the currently realized values. Cold-atom ensembles with Rydberg excitations are promising candidates for repeater nodes because collective effects in the ensemble can be used to deterministically generate a long-lived ground state memory which may be efficiently mapped onto a directionally emitted single photon.

Theoretical formalism for collective spin-wave edge excitations in arrays of dipolarly interacting magnetic nanodots

description: A general theory of edge spin wave excitations in semi-infinite and finite periodic arrays of magnetic nanodots existing in a spatially uniform magnetization ground state is developed. The theory is formulated using a formalism of multi-vectors of magnetization dynamics, which allows one to study edge excitations in arrays having arbitrary complex primitive cells and lattice geometry. The developed formalism can describe edge excitations localized both at the physical edges of the array and at the internal "domain walls" separating array regions existing in different static magnetization states. Using a perturbation theory in the framework of the developed formalism it is possible to calculate damping of edge modes and their excitation by external variable magnetic fields. The theory is illustrated on the following practically important examples: (i) calculation of the FMR absorption in a finite nanodot array having the shape of a right triangle, (ii) calculation of nonreciprocal spin wave spectra of edge modes, including modes at the physical edges of an array and modes at the domain walls inside an array, (iii) study of the influence of the domain wall modes on the FMR spectrum of an array existing in a non-ideal chessboard antiferromagnetic ground state.

description: Experimental results of the rapidity distributions of negatively charged pions produced in proton-proton ($p$-$p$) and beryllium-beryllium (Be-Be) collisions at different beam momentums, measured by the NA61/SHINE Collaboration at the super proton synchrotron (SPS), are described by a revised (three-source) Landau hydrodynamic model. The squared speed-of-sound parameter $c^2_s$ is then extracted from the width of rapidity distribution. There is a local minimum (knee point) which indicates a softest point in the equation of state (EoS) appearing at about 40$A$ GeV/$c$ (or 8.8 GeV) in $c^2_s$ excitation function [the dependence of $c^2_s$ on incident beam momentum (or center-of-mass energy)]. This knee point should be related to the searching for the onset of quark deconfinement and the critical point of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) phase transition.

Tracklet Association by Online Target-Specific Metric Learning and Coherent Dynamics Estimation

description: In this paper, we present a novel method based on online target-specific metric learning and coherent dynamics estimation for tracklet (track fragment) association by network flow optimization in long-term multi-person tracking. Our proposed framework aims to exploit appearance and motion cues to prevent identity switches during tracking and to recover missed detections. Furthermore, target-specific metrics (appearance cue) and motion dynamics (motion cue) are proposed to be learned and estimated online, i.e. during the tracking process. Our approach is effective even when such cues fail to identify or follow the target due to occlusions or object-to-object interactions. We also propose to learn the weights of these two tracking cues to handle the difficult situations, such as severe occlusions and object-to-object interactions effectively. Our method has been validated on several public datasets and the experimental results show that it outperforms several state-of-the-art tracking methods.
