The latter can be attributed to three dimensional long-range charge ordering. Resonant x-ray diffraction at the Fe K-edge with full linear polarization analysis was used for the investigation of the possibility of orbital order.

The Legacy of a Lynching: Community and Familial Adaptation in the Wake of Racial Trauma
Creators: name: Vickers, Morgan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: The history of lynching in America has been shaped by statistics, trends, and characterizations of the mobs involved in the murder of an accused individual. But, few have studied the lives and the communities of the victims of the lynchings, and even fewer have sought to recreate the circumstances in which the lynchings took place by means of digital resources and tools. As a result, the memory of a lynching is often defined by purported criminality, angry mobs, and an eventual death, rather than by the community conditions that precipitated the lynching, the life lost during the murder, and the community condition thereafter. In this thesis, I introduce the notion of personhood in lynching victims through the case study of a single victim: Eugene Daniel from New Hope Township, North Carolina, who was murdered just six days after his sixteenth birthday in 1921. This thesis argues that one cannot separate people from the context in which they live; acts of racial violence, like lynchings, neither exist in a vacuum nor solely affect the murdered individual. I further argue that modern digital tools allow historians to gain a better understanding of the circumstances that perpetuated lynchings, the communities in which lynchings occurred, and the contemporary implications of historic acts of violence.

Extending Dynamic Treatment Regimes to Incorporate Longitudinal Data Observed Between Decision Times
Creators: name: Li, Mengbing
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Personalized medicine refers to the medical scheme that tailors treatment to individuals
based on individual characteristics, predicted risks, and expected outcomes. Two important
components of personalized medicine involve the estimation of individualized treatment
rules (ITRs) and the design of adaptive clinical trials. Dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs)
are sequential treatment rules for individual patients that are adaptive over their disease
progresses. Much research on estimation of the optimal DTRs has been carried out in the
recent decade, and machine learning methods have been employed in the estimation. It
should be noted that when estimating the optimal DTRs, we usually face the issue of sparsity
in asynchronously collected data, which standard statistical methods for longitudinal
data may not be applicable. In this thesis, we first review existing two major machine learning
methods, Q-learning and outcome weighted learning, that are applicable to estimating
ITRs with longitudinal data. Then we propose a new learning method that deal with asynchronous
sparse longitudinal data when the treatment option is binary. This method uses a
counting process to generate new features, and then utilizes a Q-learning-like approach to
estimate parameters in the decision function. We also discuss advantages and limitations
of the proposed method, as well as possible directions of future research.

description: >Das Leben denken< - damit sind zwei wichtige Fundamentalbegriffe zusammengestellt und miteinander verbunden, der Begriff des Lebens und der des Denkens, zwei Begriffe allerdings, die neben ihrer philosophischen Bedeutung auch eine hinreichende Unschärfe gemeinsam haben. Der eine erreicht eine Spannbreite von sinnen- und leibloser intellektueller Tätigkeit bis zu meßbaren kognitiven Prozessen; der andere deckt ein Feld ab, das sich von religiös-metaphysischen Vorstellungen bis zu biologischen Vorgängen erstreckt. >Das Leben denken< - wem bei diesen Worten wohlig philosophisch zumute wird, dürfte jedoch einem Mißverständnis unterliegen. Bei Hegel jedenfalls ist weder das Denken noch das Leben eine bloß beschauliche Angelegenheit. Das Denken - einerseits - formt keine passive Abbildung einer immerfort quellenden Vitalität; das Leben - andererseits - ist keine harmlose unscharfe Ganzheit grundsätzlich freundlicher Prozesse, zu denen noch ein erleuchtendes Denken nachträglich hinzutreten müßte. Hegels Auffassung von der Wirklichkeit - darin folgt er Kant, Fichte und Schelling - verunmöglicht die Trennung von Denken und Leben, so daß Interpretation und Praxis nicht auseinanderfallen können. Daher mißt sich das Verständnis für die Philosophie Hegels nach gerade an der Bedeutung der Umkehrung: >Das Denken leben

Assessing the Financial Strain and Financial Literacy of  Caregivers of Veterans
Creators: name: Cavagnini, Katherine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: BACKGROUND: With a growing number of Veterans suffering from war-traumas from conflicts that began after 9/11, there is an increasing population of informal caregivers caring for them. These caregivers of Veterans are more at-risk to caregiver burden due to the high level of care the Veterans require. Many caregivers have had to leave the workforce as a consequence of the care the Veterans may require, which can increase caregivers’ level of financial strain. Financial strain is a component of caregiver burden that can be further studied to find strategies, like improving financial literacy, to reduce it. It would be especially helpful to examine if caregivers of this population had differing levels of financial strain or financial literacy based on their age; this could provide guidance on interventions that could effectively address financial strain levels in caregivers of all ages.
Ferromagnetic clouds caused by hole motion in a one-dimensional $t$-$J$ mode

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The one-dimensional $t_1$-$t_2$-$J_1$-$J_2$ model is examined in the one-hole case, in which the total number of electrons is one less than the number of the lattice sites. The ground-state phase diagram includes a series of partial ferromagnetic phases, which are stacked in a regime of positive and small $J_1$. We find that the ground state in each of these partial ferromagnetic phases includes a ferromagnetic cloud, which is a multiple-spin bound state together with the hole. The ferromagnetic cloud is a large magnetic polaron with a heavy mass in a single-band electronic system and is supposedly formed as a result of Nagaoka ferromagnetism which locally works around the hole.
Betwixt and Between: Subjective Experiences of "Taiwanese Identity"
Creators: name: Chou, Annie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The main objective of this thesis is to disentangle the complexities of Taiwanese identity with hopes of advancing broader treatises on identity, recognition, and the frictions between internal and external (re)labelling. Overall, it aspires to promote some much-needed dialogue about Taiwanese identity and convey the nuances of its experience through direct engagement with Taiwanese subjects. My research seeks neither to confirm nor deny the materiality of their experiences, but alternatively, it acknowledges the inherent truths embedded within each and every one of them. Thus, I hope to honour the fluidity, changeability, and variability of Taiwanese identity. In summary, this thesis is devoted to celebrating the potential conflicts within and between individual biographies; it bears witness to the plural and contingent nature of Taiwanese identity and experience.

Stacked codes: universal fault-tolerant quantum computation in a two-dimensional layout

name: Bartlett, Stephen D.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce a class of 3D color codes, which we call stacked codes, together with a fault-tolerant transformation that will map logical qubits encoded in two-dimensional (2D) color codes into stacked codes and back. The stacked code allows for the transversal implementation of a non-Clifford $π/8$ logical gate, which when combined with the logical Clifford gates that are transversal in the 2D color code give a gate set which is both fault-tolerant and universal without requiring nonstabilizer magic states. We then show that the layers forming the stacked code can be unfolded and arranged in a 2D layout. As only Clifford gates can be implemented transversally for 2D topological stabilizer codes, a non-local operation must be incorporated in order to allow for this transversal application of a non-Clifford gate. Our code achieves this operation through the transformation from a 2D color code to the unfolded stacked code induced by measuring only geometrically local stabilizers and gauge operators within the bulk of 2D color codes together with a nonlocal operator that has support on a one-dimensional boundary between such 2D codes. We believe that this proposed method to implement the non-local operation is a realistic one for 2D stabilizer layouts and would be beneficial in avoiding the large overheads caused by magic state distillation.

The Incarcerated Worshipper: Carceral and Religious Geographies in the Space of Prison Ministry
Creators: name: Lunceford, Casey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: The United States holds the title of world champion in incarceration, outpacing itself by imprisoning six times more people per crime in 2005 than in 1975. After the punitive turn in the 1970s in which the prison system shifted from a progressive justice model to one of punishment, reformative programming has been privatized and pushed into the sector of not-profit and religious organizations. This study investigates the prison ministry of the Summit Church in RDU, North Carolina using qualitative research methods of semi-structured interviews and group interviews. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to examine the complexities, contrarieties, and delicacies at the intersection of incarceration and religion. To understand the complex space created at the intersection of these two institutions, this research investigates the volunteers experience, the inmate experience, and the relationships formed between the two parties. For the volunteers, they possess a complex lived experience that informs their ministry practice, the most prominent being personal tragedy. Each volunteer navigates the coming together of policy and practice to inform how each person engages with the inmates and the meaning that is made through these engagements. Within the inmate experience, the constrained nature of their bodies informing all aspects of their lives including their navigation of the contested nature of the prison boundary, the bound nature of carceral TimeSpace, and the inmate’s constrained lived religion. The prison ministry provides a platform in which meaningful interpersonal relationships form between the volunteers and inmates. These relationships are a site of meaning-making in which both parties conceptualize their own religiosity and hope was formed that transformed their perception of their reality. These findings open up the possibility of understanding carceral spaces as liminal spaces that are bound by surveillance and discipline but where emotional geographies form at the site of interpersonal relationships and can transcend constraints of imprisonment.
The Role Of Language On knowledge Transfer In Multinational Enterprises (MNEs)
Creators: name: Choi, Yoona
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis investigates the role of language and linguistic diversity in international business, manifested in managerial capability, organizational language practice, and cross-border transaction. Three research questions are proposed to direct this investigation. The first question regarding managerial capability is: How important is it for expatriates to know local language(s) when they are posted to a linguistically diverse subsidiary? In terms of organization language practice, expatriates' language proficiency and practice may not be static and can change throughout different stages of investment. This leads to the second research question: At the corporate level, how does language practice change in response to a shift in the importance placed on a knowledge source? Finally, firms pursue foreign expansion for asset seeking or new markets, and merger and acquisition (M&A) is one of the major mechanisms for foreign expansion. Based on this, the third research question is: In terms of cross-border transaction, what configurations influence M&A deal duration? Study 1 illustrates that the local linguistic capabilities of expatriates influences organizational performance in a multilingual environment. Study 2 follows an inductive approach to reveal multilingual practices throughout the investment stage for managerial communication in multinational enterprises (MNEs). Following the notion of a multilingual community, Study 3 is geared toward the recognition of MNEs as a way of acquiring knowledge and tests the configuration of lingua franca proficiency, linguistic distance, culture distance, industry similarity, full acquisition to influence cross-border M&A deals. By combining qualitative and quantitative methodologies, this dissertation demonstrates the importance of language IB across multiple aspects in the operation of MNEs.
A Framework for the Statistical Shape Analysis using SPHARM-PDM combined with ITK Conformal Flattening Filter
Creators: name: Fang, Zhengyang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Shape analysis is an important and powerful method used in neuroimaging research community due to its potential to precisely locate morphological changes between healthy and pathological structures. A popular shape analysis in the neuroimaging community is based on the encoding surface locations as spherical harmonics for a representation called SPHARM–PDM. The SPHARM-PDM pipeline takes a set of brain segmentation of a single brain structure (for example, hippocampus or caudate nucleus) as input and converts them into a corresponding spherical harmonic description (SPHARM), which is then sampled into triangulated surface (SPHARM-PDM). At present, the SPHARM-PDM pipeline utilizes an area-preserving optimization of the spherical mapping based on an initial heat-equation based mapping of the surface mesh to the unit sphere. In the case of objects with complex shape, this initial mapping will suffer from a high degree of mapping distortion that cannot always be corrected by the following optimization procedure. Here we proposed the use of an alternative initialization based on the ITK Conformal Flattening filter. This method adopts a bijective angle preserving conformal flattening scheme to replace the heat equation mapping scheme as initialization for use in the SPHARM-PDM pipeline. After quantitative measures of shape calculated from various complex structures, we concluded that in most cases, the new pipeline produced dramatically better results than the old pipeline.

Kangaroo Care: Creating a Video Teaching Tool for Parents and Neonatal Nurses
Creators: name: Robinson, Melissa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Kangaroo Care (KC) is the process of holding an infant skin-to-skin, a timeless technique
with scientific benefits revealed in the 1970’s (Johnson, 2013). With a thorough literature review,
many benefits of KC were discovered for infants, parents, and nurses. Many professional health
care organizations support the implementation of KC early in the infant’s life, as neonates are
better regulated by their mothers as compared to hospital incubators (Mori, Khanna, Pledge &
Nakayama, 2010). A survey of nurses (n=70) was conducted at the Newborn Critical Care Center
(NCCC) at UNC Hospitals to identify a possible need for increased KC education, evaluate the
nurses’ perceptions of KC, and establish a preference for a teaching tool. The majority of those
surveyed (64%) agreed a video would be the most effective medium to educate both parents and
nurses on KC. In addition, research has shown that videos serve as an effective tool to educate
patients in a cost-effective manner (Shah, Swanson, Nobay, Peterson, Caprio & Karuza, 2012).
A DVD explaining the benefits of KC was created, and the proper transfer technique for KC was
demonstrated. This teaching tool is intended to be used in the NCCC to educate parents and
nurses on the benefits of KC for infants, and to increase implementation of KC.

Specifically defined goals are (a) the discovery of single nucleotide variants at frequencies of 1% or higher in diverse populations, (b) even more comprehensive discovery (variants down to frequencies of 0.1 - 0.5%) in functional gene regions, and (c) discovery of structural variants, such as copy number variants, other insertions and deletions, and inversions, including sequence-level understanding of breakpoints.The volume of data generated by 1000genomes project is unprecedented. The data is accessible from two mirrored ftp sites at EBI and NCBI.

description: Aims. We use the Kepler data accumulated on the pulsating DB white dwarf KIC 08626021 to explore in detail the stability of its oscillation modes, searching in particular for evidences of nonlinear behaviors. Methods. We analyse nearly two years of uninterrupted short cadence data, concentrating in particular on identified triplets due to stellar rotation that show intriguing behaviors during the course of the observations. Results. We find clear signatures of nonlinear effects attributed to resonant mode coupling mechanisms. We find that a triplet at 4310 μHz and this doublet at 3681 μHz (most likely the two visible components of an incomplete triplet) have clear periodic frequency and amplitude modulations typical of the so-called intermediate regime of the resonance, with time scales consistent with theoretical expectations. Another triplet at 5073 μHz is likely in a narrow transitory regime in which the amplitudes are modulated while the frequencies are locked. Using nonadiabatic pulsation calculations based on a model representative of KIC 08626021 to evaluate the linear growth rates of the modes in the triplets, we also provide quantitative information that could be useful for future comparisons with numerical solutions of the amplitude equations. Conclusions. The identified modulations are the first clear-cut signatures of nonlinear resonant couplings occurring in white dwarf stars. These should resonate as a warning to projects aiming at measuring the evolutionary cooling rate of KIC 08626021, and of white dwarf stars in general. Nonlinear modulations of the frequencies can potentially jeopardize any attempt to measure reliably such rates, unless they could be corrected beforehand. These results should motivate further theoretical work to develop nonlinear stellar pulsation theory.

description: Classical applications of control engineering and information and communication technology (ICT) in production and logistics are often done in a rigid, centralized and hierarchical way. These inflexible approaches are typically not able to cope with the complexities of the manufacturing environment, such as the instabilities, uncertainties and abrupt changes caused by internal and external disturbances, or a large number and variety of interacting, interdependent elements. A paradigm shift, e.g., novel organizing principles and methods, is needed for supporting the interoperability of dynamic alliances of agile and networked systems. Several solution proposals argue that the future of manufacturing and logistics lies in network-like, dynamic, open and reconfigurable systems of cooperative autonomous entities. The paper overviews various distributed approaches and technologies of control engineering and ICT that can support the realization of cooperative structures from the resource level to the level of networked enterprises. Standard results as well as recent advances from control theory, through cooperative game theory, distributed machine learning to holonic systems, cooperative enterprise modelling, system integration, and autonomous logistics processes are surveyed. A special emphasis is put on the theoretical developments and industrial applications of Robustly Feasible Model Predictive Control (RFMPC). Two case studies are also discussed: i) a holonic, PROSA-based approach to generate short-term forecasts for an additive manufacturing system by means of a delegate multi-agent system (D-MAS); and ii) an application of distributed RFMPC to a drinking water distribution system.

description: A comprehensive model atom was constructed for C I using the most up-to-date atomic data. We evaluated non-local thermodynamical equilibrium (NLTE) line formation for neutral carbon in classical 1D models representing atmospheres of late-type stars, where carbon abundance varies from solar value down to [C/H] = $-$3. NLTE leads to stronger C I lines compared with their LTE strength and negative NLTE abundance corrections, $Δ_{\rm NLTE}$. The deviations from LTE are large for the strong lines in the infrared (IR), with $Δ_{\rm NLTE}$ = $-$0.10 dex to $-$0.45 dex depending on stellar parameters, and they are minor for the weak lines in the visible spectral range, with |$Δ_{\rm NLTE}| \le$ 0.03 dex. The NLTE abundance corrections were found to be dependent of the carbon abundance in the model. As the first application of the treated model atom, carbon NLTE abundances were determined for the Sun and eight late-type stars with well-determined stellar parameters that cover the $-2.56 \le$ [Fe/H] $\le -1.02$ metallicity range. Consistent abundances from the visible and IR lines were found for the Sun and the most metal-rich star of our sample, when applying a scaling factor of S_H = 0.3 to the Drawinian rates of C+H collisions. Carbon abundances were also derived from the molecular CH lines and, for each star, they agree with that from the atomic C I lines. We present the NLTE abundance corrections for lines of C I in the grid of model atmospheres applicable to the carbon-enhanced (CEMP) stars.

The role of Sox4 in normal intestine and colorectal cancer
Creators: name: Trotier, Danny Clancy

description: The intestinal epithelium is one of the most rapidly dividing tissues in the
mammalian organism, with near complete replacement of the epithelial monolayer every 7-10
days (Wright et al., 1984). The start site of this impressive cellular renewal and division begins
with a pool of intestinal epithelial stem cells (IESCs) that reside at the base of the crypts. The
crypts are small depressions in the intestine that extend to the lamina propria and house both the
IESCs and supporting niche cells at its base (Cheng et al., 1974). As the IESCs divide, their
progeny migrate upward to the top of the crypt towards the lumen, into what is termed the
transit-amplifying zone. Once in this zone, the transit
amplifying cells mature into one of four well defined postmitotic
cell lineages: absorptive enterocytes, goblet cells,
enteroendocrine cells, and Paneth cells (Figure 1). With the
exception of the Paneth cells, all of these cell types continue
to migrate upward into the large finger-like villi, where they
live for several days before dying and being sloughed off at
the tip of the villus (Cheng et al., 1974). Each cell type in the
villus has a distinct role; absorptive enterocytes are
responsible for absorbing nutrients and transferring them to
the bloodstream, goblet cells secrete a protective mucus layer
over the epithelium, and enteroendocrine cells produce
important signaling hormones (Cheng et al., 1974). Paneth cells are unique in that they migrate
downward from the transit-amplifying zone back to the crypt base where they secrete
antimicrobial peptides and serve as niche cells to the stem cells (Sato et al., 2011). This rapid
cycle of tissue renewal, coupled with well-defined post-mitotic lineages, make the intestinal
epithelium an ideal model for the study of factors that regulate the potency and self renewing
capability of the IESCs, which to date remain poorly understood. Mutations or deficiencies in
these properties of stem cells, collectively considered “stemness,” lie at the heart of many
gastrointestinal disorders. Establishing a better understanding of the processes and transcription
factors that regulate stemness is critical to developing novel cellular and gene-based therapies for
those afflicted with GI disorders and cancers.
Search for pair production of first and second generation leptoquarks in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: A search for pair production of first and second generation leptoquarks is performed in final states containing either two charged leptons and two jets, or one charged lepton, one neutrino and two jets, using proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns were recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. First-generation scalar leptoquarks with masses less than 1010 (850) GeV are excluded for beta = 1.0 (0.5), where beta is the branching fraction of a leptoquark decaying to a charged lepton and a quark. Similarly, second-generation scalar leptoquarks with masses less than 1080 (760) GeV are excluded for beta = 1.0 (0.5). Mass limits are also set for vector leptoquark production scenarios with anomalous vector couplings, and for R-parity violating supersymmetric scenarios of top squark pair production resulting in similar final-state signatures. These are the most stringent limits placed on the masses of leptoquarks and RPV top squarks to date.

description: We provide a characterization of the radii minimal projections of polytopes onto j-dimensional subspaces in Euclidean space . Applied to simplices this characterization allows to reduce the computation of an outer radius to a computation in the circumscribing case or to the computation of an outer radius of a lower-dimensional simplex. In the second part of the paper, we use this characterization to determine the sequence of outer (n – 1)-radii of regular simplices (which are the radii of smallest enclosing cylinders). This settles a question which arose from an error in a paper by Weißbach (1983). In the proof, we first reduce the problem to a constrained optimization problem of symmetric polynomials and then to an optimization problem in a fixed number of variables with additional integer constraints.
RAINFALL EFFECTS ON WATER QUALITY IN A TROPICAL SEMI ARID ISLAND ENVIRONMENT
Creators: name: Browning, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Local doctors have reported that when it rains on the island of San Cristóbal in the Galápagos more people are in the hospital due to gastrointestinal issues. This is the first study to evaluate whether rainfall has a predictive effect on microbial water quality on the island. Over the course of 2 years, microbial data was taken from 11 sites on the island. Statistical analysis including linear regression models and linear mixed effect models were done to evaluate whether microbial data can be predicted with varying amounts of rainfall. Analysis was also done to evaluate whether water quality changes with varying amounts of rainfall depending on a site’s relative position on the island. Overall, there were relatively few instances where the findings suggested an association between the data and rainfall. However, consistent with previous research in similar semi-arid, island environments, the data used in this study did find statistically significant associations between some of the site’s microbial data and cumulative rainfall 24 and 48 hours before water collection.
The first historical description of chronic subdural hematoma: A tale of inaccurate interpretation, inaccurate quoting and inaccurate requoting

description: Most historical articles have named Johann Jacob Wepfer as the first author to describe a case of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). However, the question arises whether these cases truly describe CSDH. Two other names that appear in literature as the first authors to describe a case of CSDH are Thomas Willis and Giovanni Battista Morgagni. In our attempt to find the first description of a CSDH, we studied the original cases described by Willis, Wepfer, and Morgagni. The cases described by Willis and Wepfer cannot be interpreted as cases of CSDH. Willis’s university scholar is more likely to have experienced venous infarction with an underlying septic thrombosis than a CSDH. Wepfer’s cases seem to represent an intraparenchymal hemorrhage from the rupture of a branch or branches of the internal carotid artery, a subarachnoid hemorrhage complicated with hydrocephalus, and a hydrocephalus in tuberculous meningitis. Morgagni’s case described in Letter III, Article 20 in the Sedibus in 1761 seems to be the first accurate historical description of a CSDH, and we believe it should be cited as such. With these early cases of alleged CSDH, we emphasize the importance of misquotation and blind copying of references, which are important citation errors.
