description: A prevailing viewpoint in palaeoclimate science is that a single palaeoclimate record contains insufficient information to discriminate between most competing explanatory models. Results we present here suggest the contrary. Using SMC^2 combined with novel Brownian bridge type proposals for the state trajectories, we show that even with relatively short time series it is possible to estimate Bayes factors to sufficient accuracy to be able to select between competing models. The results show that Monte Carlo methodology and computer power have now advanced to the point where a full Bayesian analysis for a wide class of conceptual climate models is now possible. The results also highlight a problem with estimating the chronology of the climate record prior to further statistical analysis, a practice which is common in palaeoclimate science. Using two datasets based on the same record but with different estimated chronologies results in conflicting conclusions about the importance of the orbital forcing on the glacial cycle, and about the internal dynamics generating the glacial cycle, even though the difference between the two estimated chronologies is consistent with dating uncertainty. This highlights a need for chronology estimation and other inferential questions to be addressed in a joint statistical procedure.
A Comparison of Shoulder Range of Motion Accounting for Humeral Torsion in Collegiate Baseball and Softball Athletes
Creators: name: Tatman, Justin Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Objective: To compare range of motion and humeral torsion of the shoulder in baseball and softball players. Design: A cross sectional between groups study design. Subjects: Fifty-five baseball players (age = 19.5 ± 1.1) and twenty-eight softball position players (age = 19.3 ± 1.2) Statistical Analysis: ANOVA model was used to compare range of motion and humeral torsion variables across the limbs and groups. Variables collapsed across limb utilized independent sample t-tests for comparisons. A priori alpha level set at .05. Main outcome measure(s): Internal rotation, external rotation, horizontal adduction, and humeral torsion. Results: Significant interactions effects were found for internal rotation, humeral torsion and total range of motion variables. Significant differences were found between sport for GIRD and total range of motion difference. Significance: Softball players exhibited less pronounced variation in dominant limb range of motion variables. Both groups demonstrated significant differences in humeral torsion measurements.

description: A theoretical framework that supports automated construction of dynamic prime models purely from experimental time series data has been invented and developed, which can automatically generate (construct) data-driven models of any time series data in seconds. This has resulted in the formulation and formalisation of new reverse engineering and dynamic methods for automated systems modelling of complex systems, including complex biological, financial, control, and artificial neural network systems. The systems/model theory behind the invention has been formalised as a new, effective and robust system identification strategy complementary to process-based modelling. The proposed dynamic modelling and network inference solutions often involve tackling extremely difficult parameter estimation challenges, inferring unknown underlying network structures, and unsupervised formulation and construction of smart and intelligent ODE models of complex systems. In underdetermined conditions, i.e., cases of dealing with how best to instantaneously and rapidly construct data-consistent prime models of unknown (or well-studied) complex system from small-sized time series data, inference of unknown underlying network of interaction is more challenging. This article reports a robust step-by-step mathematical and computational analysis of the entire prime model construction process that determines a model from data in less than a minute.

description: Sexual selection theory seeks to explain the evolution of female mate preferences, especially costly preferences. Most studies of the effects of life-history on sexual selection have focused on age as an indicator mechanism, where older males indicate superior fitness by their survival. Few studies have questioned conditions for the evolution of age-dependent traits. I conducted a numerical simulation of indicator traits that depend on age. Age-dependent traits tend to evolve under weaker selection than age-independent traits. Age-independent traits evolved regardless of the intensity of selection at large size, whereas size negatively affected evolution of age-independent traits. When age-dependent and age-independent mutants occurred in the same population, age-dependence predominated at weaker selection. Age-dependence allows sexual signals to evolve at smaller sizes and thus facilitates evolution trait-preference systems. Age-dependence also provides a mechanism for age to act as an indicator. Lengthening the lifespan enables sexual selection, leading to exaggeration of traits and evolution of preferences.

description: We report an experimental investigation of the electric response of superfluid helium. Our results confirm the presence of electric potential that appears at the relative oscillatory motion of normal fluid and superfluid components in helium generated by the heater. The resonance of the electric potential was observed in the first four harmonics. A suggested method for the detection of the electric response allows the required resonance peak to be distinguished from spurious signals. Our results are in qualitative agreement with the data published by previous researchers. The reasons for the discrepancy in the measured values of the potential difference are discussed.

description: Firefighters display sub-standard fitness despite strenuous occupational duties, and are at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Muscular strength may provide a protect effect, independent of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between CVD risk factor profiles and isokinetic muscular strength in overweight firefighters, prior to and after accounting for CRF. A CVD risk factor profile was created using blood pressure, blood lipids, and body fat, while peak torque (PT) was measured during a slow (60°/sec) and fast (240°/sec) isokinetic muscle action of the leg extensors in 43 overweight and obese (BMI>25) career firefighters. No relationship was found between CVD risk factor profiles and slow (r=-0.10, P=0.51) or fast (r=-0.14, P=0.37) isokinetic PT, even when accounting for CRF (P>0.05). These finding suggest there is no protective effect of muscular strength from CVD risk factors in this sample of overweight and obese firefighters.

description: We propose a quantitative criterion to determine whether the coupled quantum systems can achieve complete synchronization or phase synchronization in the process of analyzing quantum synchronization. Adopting the criterion, we discuss the quantum synchronization effects between optomechanical systems and find that the error between the systems and the fluctuation of error are sensitive to coupling intensity by calculating the largest Lyapunov exponent of the model and quantum fluctuation, respectively. Through taking the appropriate coupling intensity, we can control quantum synchronization even under different logical relationship between switches. Finally, we simulate the dynamical evolution of the system to verify the quantum synchronization criterion and to show the ability of synchronization control.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine for postoperative care following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework

Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: Main review question : "Is acupuncture and herbal medicine effective for postoperative care after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?" The anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) is an important stablilizing ligament of the knee that is frequently injured by athletes and trauma victims. There are between 100,000 and 200,000 ACL ruptures per year in the United States alone. Appropriate treatment for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury depends upon the extent of injury, patient characteristics and activities, and available resources. Mostly, younger patients with high-level activity opt for surgical reconstruction. When deciding to treat a complete ACL rupture nonoperatively, there are risks of osteoarthritis and subsequent knee injury. ACL reconstruction is generally performed with arthroscopy using a graft to replace the ruptured ACL using patellar tendon, hamstring tendon(semitendinosus and gracilis), or quadriceps tendon. After reconstruction, the main target of rehabilitation program is to regain normal range of motion, especially in knee extension. Usually closed kinetic chain exercises to strengthen the hamstring and quadriceps muscle are effective for initial rehabilitation and then continuously combined with open chain exercises. Exercise to enhance balance, proprioception, and core strength should be incorporated.

Two-dimensional Graphene Heterojunctions: the Tunable Mechanical Properties

description: We report the mechanical properties of different two-dimensional carbon heterojunctions (HJs) made from graphene and various stable graphene allotropes, including α-, β-, γ- and 6612-graphyne (GY), and graphdiyne (GDY). It is found that all HJs exhibit a brittle behaviour except the one with α-GY, which however shows a hardening process due to the formation of triple carbon rings. Such hardening process has greatly deferred the failure of the structure. The yielding of the HJs is usually initiated at the interface between graphene and graphene allotropes, and monoatomic carbon rings are normally formed after yielding. By varying the locations of graphene (either in the middle or at the two ends of the HJs), similar mechanical properties have been obtained, suggesting insignificant impacts from location of graphene allotropes. Whereas, changing the types and percentages of the graphene allotropes, the HJs exhibit vastly different mechanical properties. In general, with the increasing graphene percentage, the yield strain decreases and the effective Young's modulus increases. Meanwhile, the yield stress appears irrelevant with the graphene percentage. This study provides a fundamental understanding of the tensile properties of the heterojunctions that are crucial for the design and engineering of their mechanical properties, in order to facilitate their emerging future applications in nanoscale devices, such as flexible/stretchable electronics.

Parafoveal processing and word skipping during reading
Creators: name: Choi, Wonil
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: In this study, two questions related to eye movements during reading and word recognition were addressed: 1) Does the process of word recognition influence eye movements during reading? 2) If so, to what extent does lexical processing influence word skipping? Experiment 1 showed a greater rate of skipping for high-frequency target words than low-frequency target words when full-parafoveal preview of those target words was available but not when parafoveal preview consisted of nonwords created by transposing two word-internal letters of the target. Experiment 2 investigated further how lexical status influences eye movements during reading by manipulating word repetition and parafoveal preview. The results showed that lexicality of letter string in parafoveal preview is a crucial determinant of word skipping. These results support models of reading in which control of eye movements is strongly influenced by word recognition and where lexical processing occurs for one input word at a time.

Optical modes in slab waveguides with magnetoelectric effect

description: Optical modes in anisotropic slab waveguides with topological and chiral magnetoelectric effects are investigated analytically, by deriving the closed-form characteristic equations of the modes and hence computing the dispersion-diagrams. In order to compute the characteristic equations, a vector-potential approach is introduced by incorporating a generalized Lorentz gauge, and the corresponding Helmholtz equations are derived correspondingly. It will be shown that the formation of the complex modes and hybridization of the optical modes in such slab waveguides is inevitable. Moreover, when the tensorial form of the permittivity in the waveguide allows for a hyperbolic dispersion, complex transition from the photonic kinds of modes to the plasmonic modes is expected.

The influence of age on the muscle and tendon contribution during viscoelastic creep
Creators: name: Scharville, Michael
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of age on muscle-tendon behavior during a bout of constant-torque (CT) stretching. Eighteen young and 16 older healthy men performed a 60-s CT stretch at their pre-determined torque threshold. Changes in ankle joint position and muscle and tendon lengths from pre- to post-stretch were examined using an electrogoniometer and ultrasonography, respectively. Ankle point position increased for both groups, however the younger men (2.01°) experienced a non-significant (P=0.072) greater increase when compared to the older men (1.41°) and a simultaneous greater increase in muscle-tendon unit length (P=0.043). Furthermore, muscle and tendon lengths increased for both groups; however the muscle increased more (P<0.001) in the young (Δmuscle length - 77%; Δtendon length - 23%) and the tendon increased more (P<0.001) in the old (Δmuscle length - 36%; Δtendon length - 64%). These findings may be due to the age-related increases in tendon compliance and muscle stiffness.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The aloof baby Skyrme model is a (2+1)-dimensional theory with solitons that are lightly bound. It is a low-dimensional analogue of a similar Skyrme model in (3+1)-dimensions, where the lightly bound solitons have binding energies comparable to nuclei. A previous study of static solitons in the aloof baby Skyrme model revealed that multi-soliton bound states have a cluster structure, with constituents that preserve their individual identities due to the short-range repulsion and long-range attraction between solitons. Furthermore, there are many different local energy minima that are all well-described by a simple binary species particle model. In this paper we present the first results on soliton dynamics in the aloof baby Skyrme model. Numerical field theory simulations reveal that the lightly bound cluster structure results in a variety of exotic soliton scattering events that are novel in comparison to standard Skyrmion scattering. A dynamical version of the binary species point particle model is shown to provide a good qualitative description of the dynamics.

Accent in Proto-Indo-European Athematic Nouns: Antifaithfulness in Inflectional Paradigms
Creators: name: Frazier, Melissa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This paper examines four accent patterns displayed by athematic nouns in Proto-Indo- European. Each accent pattern is distinguished by either alternating stress or vowel quality between "weak" forms (nominative, accusative, vocative) and "strong" forms. I argue that surface stress is the result of the interplay of the lexical accent specifications of the morphemes that compose the stem. The strong endings are classified as dominant and are thus responsible for the accent/ablaut alternations. Optimality Theory is used to provide a synchronic phonological analysis of athematic noun accent. The weak forms are accounted for with a ranking of faithfulness and alignment constraints, including a positional faithfulness ranking in which faithfulness to roots is preferred over faithfulness to derivational affixes. The strong endings, which are dominant, trigger antifaithfulness constraints (Alderete 1999), and so a new type of antifaithfulness constraint is introduced that works within inflectional paradigms, based on the Optimal Paradigms model (McCarthy 2005).
Civic Virtue in a Christian Mind: Charles Rollin and the Jansenist Influence on the Revival of Classical Virtue in France
Creators: name: Uchrin, Michael Adrian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The French Revolution, like much else in the eighteenth century, was undeniably influenced by a revival of classical Greco-Roman themes, particularly in the realm of politics. Unfortunately, classical civic virtue in the French context has generally been viewed as a largely secular affair. In fact, the turn toward classical republican thought was also markedly influenced by the Augustinian theological beliefs of the Jansenists, an austere group of Catholics. One of their number, Charles Rollin, a prominent educator and author, played an important role in revising French education, placing a great deal of emphasis on the instruction of virtue. This thesis will demonstrate the connections between the religious tenets of the Jansenists and the classical republican civic virtue that Rollin prescribes as a remedy not for the individual soul, but for the political and social health of the patrie.
A Cross Sectional Study of Intercollegiate Basketball and Soccer Coaches Salaries at State Institutions in North Carolina

description: This study examined the remuneration of intercollegiate athletics coaches at state institutions in North Carolina within the context of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII). The study analyzed the salaries of men’s and women’s basketball coaches and men’s and women’s soccer coaches at the fifteen state institutions in the University of North Carolina system. The purpose of this study was to determine if gender is a noteworthy factor in the comparatively lower remuneration of female coaches when compared to male coaches. This study found some important differences in salary across gender bounds, some of which are easily justified by legally recognized factors while some other differences are defensible only through inconsistencies in interpretation and application of the law. The study also found that the subject institutions were far closer to equitable salary distribution than the national averages.

description: We study theoretically the effective spin Hall properties of a composite consisting of two materials with and without spin-orbit (SO) coupling. In particular, we assume that SO material represents a system of grains in a matrix with no SO. We calculate the effective spin Hall angle and the effective spin diffusion length of the mixture. Our main qualitative finding is that, when the bare spin diffusion length is much smaller than the radius of the grain, the effective spin diffusion length is strongly enhanced, well beyond the "geometrical" factor. The physical origin of this additional enhancement is that, with small diffusion length, the spin current mostly flows around the grain without suffering much loss. We also demonstrate that the voltage, created by a spin current, is sensitive to a very weak magnetic field directed along the spin current, and even reverses sign in a certain domain of fields. The origin of this sensitivity is that the spin precession, caused by magnetic field, takes place outside the grains where SO is absent.

Caught in the Vice: Economic Sanctions and State Repression in Developing Nations

description: Since the Second World War economic sanctions have become a favorite tool of foreign policy. However, the popularity of sanctions has been criticized both because of their mixed success and the collateral damage they inflict on civilian populations. This paper examines the impact of United States and United Nations Security Council-imposed sanctions on human rights conditions in developing nations. I show that declining economic conditions resulting from sanctions contribute to increases in state-sponsored repression of physical integrity rights. I employ Maximum Likelihood Estimation techniques to test this relationship in a sample of 126 developing countries between 1976 and 2001. The results reveal that state-sponsored violations of physical integrity rights in the increase following the application of all US sanctions and comprehensive UN sanctions. This study further finds that the severity of the increase in physical repression is dependent on the type of sanctions imposed.

Investigating Differences between Graphical and Textual Declarative Process Models

description: Declarative approaches to business process modeling are regarded as well suited for highly volatile environments, as they enable a high degree of flexibility. However, problems in understanding declarative process models often impede their adoption. Particularly, a study revealed that aspects that are present in both imperative and declarative process modeling languages at a graphical level-while having different semantics-cause considerable troubles. In this work we investigate whether a notation that does not contain graphical lookalikes, i.e., a textual notation, can help to avoid this problem. Even though a textual representation does not suffer from lookalikes, in our empirical study it performed worse in terms of error rate, duration and mental effort, as the textual representation forces the reader to mentally merge the textual information. Likewise, subjects themselves expressed that the graphical representation is easier to understand.

description: We analyze dynamic properties of vertical graphene-base hot-electron transistors (GB-HETs) and consider their operation as detectors of terahertz (THz) radiation using the developed device model. The GB-HET model accounts for the tunneling electron injection from the emitter, electron propagation across the barrier layers with the partial capture into the GB, and the self-consistent oscillations of the electric potential and the hole density in the GB (plasma oscillations), as well as the quantum capacitance and the electron transit-time effects. Using the proposed device model, we calculate the responsivity of GB-HETs operating as THz detectors as a function of the signal frequency, applied bias voltages, and the structural parameters. The inclusion of the plasmonic effect leads to the possibility of the HET-GBT operation at the frequencies significantly exceeding those limited by the characteristic RC-time. It is found that the responsivity of GB-HETs with a sufficiently perfect GB exhibits sharp resonant maxima in the THz range of frequencies associated with the excitation of plasma oscillations. The positions of these maxima are controlled by the applied bias voltages. The GB-HETs can compete with and even surpass other plasmonic THz detectors.

description: Non-thermal correlations of strongly correlated electron systems and the far-from-equilibrium properties of phases of condensed matter have become a topical research area. Here, an overview of the non-linear dynamics found near continuous zero-temperature phase transitions within the context of effective temperatures is presented. In particular, we focus on models of critical Kondo destruction. Such a quantum critical state, where Kondo screening is destroyed in a critical fashion, is realized in a number of rare earth intermetallics. This raises the possibility of experimentally testing for the existence of fluctuation-dissipation relations far from equilibrium in terms of effective temperatures near quantum criticality. Finally, we present an analysis of a non-interacting, critical reference system, the pseudogap resonant level model, in terms of effective temperatures and contrast these results with those obtained near interacting quantum critical points.

Small radii of neutron stars as an indication of novel in-medium effects

description: At present, neutron star radii from both observations and model predictions remain very uncertain. Whereas different models can predict a wide range of neutron star radii, it is not possible for most models to predict radii that are smaller than about 10 km, thus if such small radii are established in the future they will be very difficult to reconcile with model estimates. By invoking a new term in the equation of state that enhances the energy density, but leaves the pressure unchanged we simulate the current uncertainty in the neutron star radii. This new term can be possibly due to the exchange of the weakly interacting light U-boson with appropriate in-medium parameters, which does not compromise the success of the conventional nuclear models. The validity of this new scheme will be tested eventually by more precise measurements of neutron star radii.

description: Declarative approaches to process modeling are regarded as well suited for highly volatile environments as they provide a high degree of flexibility. However, problems in understanding and maintaining declarative business process models impede often their usage. In particular, how declarative models are understood has not been investigated yet. This paper takes a first step toward addressing this question and reports on an exploratory study investigating how analysts make sense of declarative process models. We have handed out real-world declarative process models to subjects and asked them to describe the illustrated process. Our qualitative analysis shows that subjects tried to describe the processes in a sequential way although the models represent circumstantial information, namely, conditions that produce an outcome, rather than a sequence of activities. Finally, we observed difficulties with single building blocks and combinations of relations between activities.

Inhomogeneity-related cutoff dependence of the Casimir energy and stress

description: The cutoff dependence of the Casimir energy and stress is studied using the Green's function method for a system that is piecewise-smoothly inhomogeneous along one dimension. The asymptotic cylinder kernel expansions of the energy and stress are obtained, with some extra cutoff terms that are induced by the inhomogeneity. Introducing interfaces to the system one by one shows how those cutoff terms emerge and illuminates their physical interpretations. Based on that, we propose a subtraction scheme to address the problem of the remaining cutoff dependence in the Casimir stress in an inhomogeneous medium, and show that the nontouching Casimir force between two separated bodies is cutoff independent. The cancellation of the electric and magnetic contributions to the surface divergence near a perfectly conducting wall is found to be incomplete in the case of inhomogeneity.

THE INFLUENCE OF CAMERA PERSPECTIVE ON DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY USING ORTHODONTIC RECORDS
Creators: name: Kirk, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Introduction: Dr. Edward Angle, the “Father of Orthodontics” was also the first orthodontist to incorporate photography into the practice of orthodontics1. With the advent of digital cameras, clinical photography is easier, faster and more cost effective than ever before. Despite technological advances, difficulties with patient-camera positioning and the resultant parallax effect still persist. This cross-sectional survey evaluated the influence of camera perspective changes on the ability of orthodontists to make diagnostic judgments using photographic records. Methods: Practicing orthodontists (n=205) assessed, via an electronic survey tool, 12 patient casts photographed at three angulations in the axial plane of one of two views: buccal view and frontal view. Participants judged midlines or canine and molar classification based on the images provided at different camera angulations. The relationships between correct responses and demographic information, degree of angulation, and clinical photography practice were assessed using Chi-square for bivariate analyses and conditional logistic regression for multivariate analyses. Results: The results indicate a statistically significant (P=<0.005) and clinically significant difference in participant’s ability to correctly determine Angle classification and midline deviation as camera perspective in the axial plane changes from ideal to non-ideal angulations. Conclusions: Statistically and clinically significant decreases in diagnostic accuracy were observed when participants were asked to determine Angle classification and midline discrepancy at non-ideal angulations.

description: In this paper we introduce an equation of state (EOS) of quark matter within the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) to study the structure of compact stars. The smooth crossover from hadronic matter to quark matter in the hybrid star is studied. We compare different strategies to obtain crossover EOSs and find a new way to construct two-solar-mass hybrid stars with even a relatively soft quark EOS, while earlier works show that the quark EOS should be stiff enough to support a massive hybrid star.
