description: A generalized happy function, $S_{e,b}$ maps a positive integer to the sum of its base $b$ digits raised to the $e^\text{th}$ power. We say that $x$ is a base $b$, $e$ power, height $h$, $u$ attracted number if $h$ is the smallest positive integer so that $S^{h}_{e,b}(x)=u$. Happy numbers are then base 10, 2 power, 1 attracted numbers of any height. Let $σ_{h,e,b}(u)$ denote the smallest height $h$, $u$ attracted number for a fixed base $b$ and exponent $e$ and let $g(e)$ denote the smallest number so that every integer can be written as $x_{1}^{e}+x_{2}^{e}+...+x_{g(e)}^{e}$ for some nonnegative integers $x_{1},x_{2},...,x_{g(e)}$. In this paper we prove that if $p_{e,b}$ is the smallest nonnegative integer such that $b^{p_{e,b}}>g(e)$, $\displaystyle d=\left\lceil \frac{g(e)+1}{1-(\frac{b-2}{b-1})^{e}}+e+p_{e,b}\right\rceil$, and $σ_{h,e,b}(u)\geq b^{d}$, then $S_{e,b}(σ_{h+1,e,b}(u))=σ_{h,e,b}(u)$.

Detection of DNA Damage: The Synthesis of Aldehyde Reactive Probes for the Quantitation of Abasic Sites
Creators: name: Stafford, Whitney A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP sites) are the result of damage to DNA. These sites can inhibit replication of the DNA and cause mutations. They are considered to be important intermediates in carcinogenesis and in mutagenesis. It is advantageous to have a simple assay capable of detecting and quantifying these sites in a timely manner. Kubo et al. reported such an assay wherein the aldehyde group in the abasic site reacts with an aldehyde reactive probe (ARP). The number of tagged AP sites is then quantified colorimetrically by an assay similar to an ELISA. The purpose of this research project was to synthesize additional reactive probes that could be used in the detection of abasic sites in DNA. ARP was synthesized using the procedure of Ide etal. Procedures for the synthesis of labeled ARP components, 0-(carboxymethyl)hydroxylamine and biotin hydrazide were developed. Synthetic routes to new ARPs were also investigated. A novel 2-iminobiotin hydrazide hydrochloride probe and a novel hydrazinoacetic acid derivative probe were synthesized and characterized. In addition, a synthetic route to a probe containing a long alkyl tether group was nearly completed.

description: Let $S$ be a finite semigroup and let $A$ be a finite dimensional $S$-graded algebra. We investigate the exponential rate of growth of the sequence of graded codimensions $c_n^S(A)$ of $A$, i.e $\lim\limits_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sqrt[n]{c_n^S(A)}$. For group gradings this is always an integer. Recently in [20] the first example of an algebra with a non-integer growth rate was found. We present a large class of algebras for which we prove that their growth rate can be equal to arbitrarily large non-integers. An explicit formula is given. Surprisingly, this class consists of an infinite family of algebras simple as an $S$-graded algebra. This is in strong contrast to the group graded case for which the growth rate of such algebras always equals $\dim (A)$. In light of the previous, we also handle the problem of classification of all $S$-graded simple algebras, which is of independent interest. We achieve this goal for an important class of semigroups that is crucial for a solution of the general problem.

Illnesses and Injuries While Underway on Ohio Class Trident Deterrent Patrols: Investigation, Trends, and Assessments
Creators: name: Cohen, Bruce A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: A retrospective study of 790 primary sickcall log entries was done among five Trident Ohio Class SSBNs to determine the types and frequencies of visits and to generate hypotheses regarding risk factors and methods of prevention of illnesses/injuries reported while underway on deterrent patrols. Disease, disease group, submarine by crew , patrol, and crew month were studied. A total of 107 different diagnoses were categorized into ten summary groups for review and statistical analysis. Three disease groups comprised 57.7% of the illnesses/injuries observed (Respiratory illness: 26.3%; Trauma: 17.2%; Musculoskeletal problems: 14.2%). There was a statistically significant difference (with p<0.05) in association between crew month and categorization of illness. By establishing that certain types of injuries (trauma and musculoskeletal) occur at the same time (crew month)in a deterrent patrol, independent of submarine, changes may be made to the operating schedule to prevent these occurrences and maintain the optimal performance level of the crew.

description: The phenomenon of many-body localization in disordered quantum many-body systems occurs when all transport is suppressed despite the fact that the excitations of the system interact. In this work we report on the numerical simulation of autonomous quantum dynamics for disordered Heisenberg chains when the system is prepared with an initial inhomogeneity in the energy density profile. Using exact diagonalisation and a dynamical code based on Krylov subspaces we are able to simulate dynamics for up to L = 26 spins. We find, surprisingly, the breakdown of energy diffusion even before the many-body localization transition whilst the system is still in the ergodic phase. Moreover, in the ergodic phase we also find a large region in parameter space where the energy dynamics remains diffusive but where spin transport has been previously evidenced to occur only subdiffusively: this is found to be true for initial states composed of infinitely many hydrodynamic modes (square-wave energy profile) or just the single longest mode (sinusoidal profile). This suggestive finding points towards a peculiar ergodic phase where particles are transported slower than energy, reminiscent of the situation in amorphous solids and of the gapped phase of the anisotropic Heisenberg model.

description: An important consequence which comes from noncommutativity (NC) is undoubtedly the energy density characterized by a microscopic free parameter; indeed a Trans-Planckian parameter. However, its functional form is an interesting and useful equation which can be analyzed in astrophysical scenarios giving now astrophysical constraints. In this sense, this paper is devoted to explore the astrophysical consequences of an energy density with the same functional form of NC; mainly in stellar dynamics and rotation curves of galaxies. We start exploring toy models of stars with incompressible and polytropic fluids respectively, with the addition and coexistence with this new fluid. In both cases, we propose an appropriate constriction based on the difference between a correct and an anomalous behavior. As a complement, we explore the rotation curves of galaxies assuming that the halo is a fluid with the same characteristic of a NC equation, obtaining the range of values for the free parameter through the analysis of eighteen LSB galaxies. Our results are compared with traditional models studied in literature like Pseudoisothermal (PISO), Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW), Burkert and WaveDM dark matter models. Finally, we have computed the surface density, $ρ_i r_i$ for each dark matter model, where $i$ is for PISO, NFW, Burkert, WaveDM and NC macroscopic version. In the later case, following the results found using SPARC galaxy catalog, we have found a theoretical value of $116.97 M_\odot$ pc$^{-2}$ while the data analysis gives us a value of $144.21 M_\odot$ pc$^{-2}$.

title: Development workers and gender work in Lao PDR
Creators: name: Morton, Sam E.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores how national and international development workers do gender equality work in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) and in turn how their work and living conditions are shaped by what Dorothy Smith calls “ruling relations.” Bringing together the growing literature on development workers and organizations, and the sociology of work, I propose the novel concept of the “intersectional maze” to help explain the embodied experience of (dis)orientation for workers navigating gendered and racialized organizational logics. I present data based on four months of research in Laos, 21 in-depth interviews, and participant observation. I find that development organizations should be understood as gendered and racialized organizations that hinder women’s and global South workers’ opportunities to reach senior level and decision-making positions, and that despite the use of transformative discourse, gender projects in Laos tend to ‘play it safe’ and focus on service delivery, rather than targeting structural change. As an exploration of the work of gender equality work, this thesis contributes to the recent and growing development literature on development workers and organizations and will be of interest to those working in development, researchers in humanitarian and development studies, sociology, anthropology, political science, and international relations.

description: The use of online survey convenience samples is commonplace in social science research (Mullinix et al., 2015). 50% of studies in top psychology journals made use of online convenience samples between 2015 and 2018 (Anderson et al., 2019; Zhou & Fishbach, 2016; Buhrmester, Talaifar, & Gosling, 2018). This number was 43% for prominent journals in consumer research between 2015 and 2016 (Goodman & Paolacci, 2017), and 31% for top journals in the cognitive sciences journals in 2017 (Stewart, Chandler, Paolacci, 2017). However, recent research has found some pressing data quality issues among the most commonly used platforms, including Lucid (Aronow et al. 2021; Peyton, Huber, & Coppock 2021) and Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (Arechar and Rand, 2021; Dennis, Goodson, and Pearson, 2020). Furthermore, there is increasing evidence that different online survey vendors provide researchers with systematically different types of people at different points in time (e.g., Charalambides 2019). To assess differences in data quality and the composition of survey-takers on two of the most commonly used source for online survey-takers, Prolific and MTurk, we launched two identical panel studies run at the same time on Mturk and Prolific.

We study its dimensional properties for similarities with and without overlaps. In particular we show that for the two classes of $1$-variable and $\infty$-variable random graph directed attractors we introduce, the Hausdorff and upper box counting dimension coincide almost surely, irrespective of overlap. Under the additional assumption of the uniform strong separation condition we give an expression for the almost sure Hausdorff and Assouad dimension.

Enhanced Coagulation Using a New Magnetic Ion Exchange Resin
Creators: name: Bilyk, Katya A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: The objective of this investigation was to examine the effectiveness of a magnetic ion exchange resin (MIEX®) to enhance the coagulation of disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors in nine surface waters each representing a different element of the EPA's 3x3 enhanced coagulation matrix. The effect of MIEX-treatment on subsequent coagulation with alum was also compared with the coagulation of raw water with alum to determine if there was a reduction in the requisite alum dose for turbidity removal. Ultraviolet absorbance and total organic carbon (TOC) concentration were used as surrogates for the removal of DBP precursors. Enhanced coagulation with MIEX was found to be very effective for removing trihalomethane (THM) precursors from the nine waters examined. THM formation potential was reduced by more than 60% in all waters studied and reductions in excess of 90% were seen in the waters with the three highest specific ultraviolet absorbance values. The residual TOC concentration, ultraviolet absorbance, and THM formation potential were all substantially lower as a result of MIEX and alum treatment as compared to alum coagulation alone. In addition, haloacetic acid formation potential was substantially lower as a result of MIEX treatment as compared to alum coagulation. This investigation found that MIEX also substantially lowered the coagulant demand of the treated water. This study demonstrated that MIEX was capable of removing bromide from the surface waters examined and that bromide removal decreased as alkalinity increased. The cost-effectiveness of adding a MIEX treatment train onto an existing surface water treatment plant was considered as well. Cost-effectiveness was found to be a function of the size of the water treatment plant and the magnitude of the reduction in alum dose. The interest rate and number of years in the life cycle used to compute the present value of the operating costs were also shown to be important factors in determining if MIEX would be a cost-effective technology to add to a conventional alum coagulation plant.

description: In force sensing, optomechanics, and quantum motion experiments, it is typically advantageous to create lightweight, compliant mechanical elements with the lowest possible force noise. Here we report wafer-scale batch fabrication and characterization of high-aspect-ratio, nanogram-scale Si$_3$N$_4$ "trampolines" having quality factors above $4 \times 10^7$ and ringdown times exceeding five minutes (1 mHz linewidth). We measure a thermally limited force noise sensitivity of 16.2$\pm$0.8 aN/Hz$^{1/2}$ at room temperature, with a spring constant ($\sim$1 N/m) 2-5 orders of magnitude larger than those of competing technologies. We also characterize the suitability of these devices for high-finesse cavity readout and optomechanics applications, finding no evidence of surface or bulk optical losses from the processed nitride in a cavity achieving finesse 40,000. These parameters provide access to a single-photon cooperativity $C_0 \sim 8$ in the resolved-sideband limit, wherein a variety of outstanding optomechanics goals become feasible.

To distinguish between these two types of variation and estimate the sequential-progression effects, our approach leverages an assumption that these effects follow a persistent trend. This work is motivated by the recent rise of single-cell RNA-sequencing experiments over a brief time course, which aim to identify genes relevant to the progression of a particular biological process across diverse cell populations. While classical statistical tools focus on scalar-response regression or order-agnostic differences between distributions, it is desirable in this setting to consider both the full distributions as well as the structure imposed by their ordering. We introduce a new regression model for ordinal covariates where responses are univariate distributions and the underlying relationship reflects consistent changes in the distributions over increasing levels of the covariate. This concept is formalized as a "trend" in distributions, which we define as an evolution that is linear under the Wasserstein metric. Implemented via a fast alternating projections algorithm, our method exhibits numerous strengths in simulations and analyses of single-cell gene expression data.

description: We show that if $M$ and $N$ have the same homotopy type of simply connected closed smooth $m$-manifolds such that the integral and mod-$2$ cohomologies of $M$ vanish in odd degrees, then their homotopy inertia groups are equal. Let $M^{2n}$ be a closed $(n-1)$-connected $2n$-dimensional smooth manifold. We show that, for $n=4$, the homotopy inertia group of $M^{2n}$ is trivial and if $n=8$ and $H^n(M^{2n};\mathbb{Z})\cong \mathbb{Z}$, the homotopy inertia group of $M^{2n}$ is also trivial. We further compute the group $\mathcal{C}(M^{2n})$ of concordance classes of smoothings of $M^{2n}$ for $n=8$. Finally, we show that if a smooth manifold $N$ is tangentially homotopy equivalent to $M^8$, then $N$ is diffeomorphic to the connected sum of $M^8$ and a homotopy $8$-sphere.

description: We will conduct the core outcome set development process in three phases. • In phase 1, we will identify outcomes that has been used in medical research previously through a global systematic review of outcomes. The long list of the identified outcomes from the systematic review will serve as the basis of the initial list of outcomes which will be ranked in the Delphi survey in Phase 2. • In Phase 2, a two-stage Delphi and an online consensus meeting will be used to develop a consensus COS of ‘what’ outcomes should be minimally measured for research on snakebite management in South Asia. • In Phase 3, we will organise an online workshop to develop consensus recommendations on “how” outcomes part of the COS (developed in Phase 2) should be measured.
A deconvolution path for mixtures

name: Polson, Nicholas G.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We propose a class of estimators for deconvolution in mixture models based on a simple two-step "bin-and-smooth" procedure applied to histogram counts. The method is both statistically and computationally efficient: by exploiting recent advances in convex optimization, we are able to provide a full deconvolution path that shows the estimate for the mixing distribution across a range of plausible degrees of smoothness, at far less cost than a full Bayesian analysis. This enables practitioners to conduct a sensitivity analysis with minimal effort. This is especially important for applied data analysis, given the ill-posed nature of the deconvolution problem. Our results establish the favorable theoretical properties of our estimator and show that it offers state-of-the-art performance when compared to benchmark methods across a range of scenarios.
Assessment of THM Formation with MIOX
Creators: name: Dowd, Michael T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Current regulations on trihalomethane (THM) concentrations have led many utilities to explore the use of other oxidants and disinfectants to partially or completely replace chlorine in their treatment schemes. A mixed oxidant solution, generated electrolytically from brine, by the "MIOX" system, appears to be an attractive alternative to chlorine with respect to disinfection and THM formation. However, little is known about the chemical composition of this mixed oxidant solution except that which is based on electrochemical theory. The primary objective of this investigation was to evaluate the formation of THMs by MIOX and to compare the results with those obtained in control experiments using equivalent amounts of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). The secondary objective of this investigation was to characterize the mixed oxidant solution as to its chemical composition. Model waters of well-known chemical composition as well as several real waters of varying quality were treated with MIOX and with NaOCl under identical experimental conditions, and the extent and rate of THM formation was examined. The results showed that THM formation in MIOX-treated waters was essentially the same as that in NaOCl-treated waters. Little insight as to the chemical composition of the mixed oxidant solution was gained in this investigation.

United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Hazard Identification and Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus Replacement
Creators: name: Carter, William
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: This research was conducted to ascertain the specific chemical hazards presented to United States Coast Guard Marine Safety personnel, so as to select an appropriate replacement for the current Emergency Escape Breathing Apparatus (EEBA) used within the Coast Guard Marine Safety community. Draeger Safety, Inc. is no longer manufacturing the EEBA that is currently in use by many Marine Safety units, the Draeger Max, and therefore a replacement EEBA must be identified based on real, objective data. Based on the survey results and NIOSH Respirator Selection criteria, only a NIOSH approved escape self-contained breathing apparatus (ESCBA) may be selected as a replacement EEBA for the Draeger Max. Survey results from over fifty-nine Marine Safety units were analyzed in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) respirator selection criteria. The Draeger Quick Air 5 is a lightweight ESCBA that would best serve the Coast Guard Marine Safety community by providing the highest level of respiratory protection.

description: The purpose of this systematic review is to assess the role of cognitive biases and heuristics in shaping Western consumers’ perception of food innovations legally categorized as Novel Foods in the European Union (EU). There are several reviews assessing consumer perception of specific food products categorized as Novels Foods (e.g. cultured meat, insects ). To the best of our knowledge, however, there is no systematic review available in the literature analysing the overall landscape of Novel Foods adopting a legal perspective to define the scope of the research and focusing specifically on the influence played by cognitive bias and heuristics. The purpose of this study is to (1) synthesise the available literature on consumer perception of Novel Foods, (2) identify cognitive biases and heuristics listed or tested as potential influences on the perception of Novel Foods in primary research.
