description: The 1-loop partition function of the handle-body solutions in the AdS$_3$ gravity have been derived some years ago using the heat-kernel and the method of images. In the semiclassical limit, such partition function should correspond to the order $O (c^0)$ part in the partition function of dual conformal field theory on the boundary Riemann surface. The higher genus partition function could be computed by the multi-point functions in the Riemann sphere via sewing prescription. In the large central charge limit, to the leading order of $c$, the multi-point function is further simplified to be a summation over the product of two-point functions, which may form links. Each link is in one-to-one correspondence with the conjugacy class of the Schottky group of the Riemann surface. Moreover, the value of a link is determined by the eigenvalue of the element in the conjugate class. This allows us to reproduce exactly the gravitational 1-loop partition function. The proof can be generalized to the higher spin gravity and its dual CFT.

Procedures for the identification of coherent structures in oscillatory and pulsating flows over a wavy bottom
Creators: name: Gasser i Rubinat, Marc
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Oscillatory flows over a wavy bottom play an important role in sediment dynamics, coastal circulation and bottom - water column biogeochemical interactions. The most important process that controls the energy and mass flux in such flows is the generation, advection and dissipation of coherent structures. This thesis gives a working definition of a coherent structure in an instantaneous and averaged flow and compares several identification methods using velocity and pressure fields obtained from computer simulations using a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) numerical scheme. The effectiveness of each identification method is assessed for several flows with different Reynolds number and relevant physical properties of each flow, obtained from the study of such coherent structures, are described.

description: Donatella Di Cesare’s Democrazia e anarchia critically examines the historical and ideological construction of democracy by challenging its minimalist conception as merely a form of government. Through Di Cesares’s words, Peppe Nanni argues that democracy has been reduced to a superficial procedure devoid of genuine participatory substance, perpetuated by an entrenched power structure (arché) that stifles true democratic engagement. By tracing the genealogy of democracy, he highlights its intrinsic relationship with anarchism, proposing an “anarcheological” approach to understanding its roots. This perspective reveals the foundational moments where the demos disrupts hierarchical dominance, countering the prevailing narrative that marginalizes democratic vitality. Thanks to Di Cesare’s interpretation of ancient Greek political history, Nanni emphasizes the necessity of intertwining ontological and political dimensions to foster a deeper, transformative political discourse. By invoking such contemporary thinkers as Jacques Rancière and Miguel Abensour, he underscores the enduring subversive potential of democracy when unbound from its current constrictions, advocating for a dynamic interplay between democratic power (kratos) and anarchistic resistance.

Towards a Critical Race Discourse Framework for Addressing Discipline Disparities for African American Students
Creators: name: Keeling, Dena
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Across the nation, African American students are suspended at rates well above those of Caucasian students and disproportionate to their representation in the total school population (Skiba, Eckes, & Brown, 2009).  The pattern of disproportionate suspension rates for African American students has persisted despite over 40 years of research.  Although researchers have examined other factors, race is consistently correlated with disproportionate discipline sanctions, particularly for African American students.  Solórzano and Yasso (2002) stated that racism and other forms of subordination permeate school structures and processes and that discourse maintains the structures and processes of inequity.  The purpose of this study was to explore subtle racial bias as an explanation for racial discipline disparities, through an examination of the discourse of educational leadership and policy in the context of school discipline, and to utilize the analysis towards the end of developing a framework to address the disproportionate suspension of African American students.
      The participants in this study are from two middle schools, with disproportionate suspension rates for African American students, in one urban school district in North Carolina.  Semi-structured interviews with seven teachers and two administrators, one from each school, along with district discipline policy serve as the data sources for this critical race discourse analysis.  A conceptual framework guides this qualitative study.  The framework demonstrates the relationship between subtle racial bias, the discourse of educational leadership and discipline policy, and the enactment of racial discipline disparities for African American students.   The study investigates subtle racial bias in school discipline within four domains, based on the themes and tenets of critical race theory.
      The researcher found that the discourse of the district discipline policy and the school administrators in this study, aligned with each of the domains of the conceptual framework, suggesting a relationship among subtle racial bias, racialized discourse and ideologies and the enactment of discipline disparities for African American students.  The study adds to the educational research and the practice of educational leadership by presenting a framework for analyzing subtle racial bias in school discipline and addressing discipline disproportionality for African American students.

description: The impact of liquid drops on solid surfaces is ubiquitous in nature, and of practical importance in many industrial processes. A drop hitting a flat surface retains a circular symmetry throughout the impact process. Here we show that a drop impinging on Echevaria leaves exhibits asymmetric bouncing dynamics with distinct spreading and retraction along two perpendicular directions. This is a direct consequence of the cylindrical leaves which have a convex/concave architecture of size comparable to the drop. Systematic experimental investigations on mimetic surfaces and lattice Boltzmann simulations reveal that this novel phenomenon results from an asymmetric momentum and mass distribution that allows for preferential fluid pumping around the drop rim. The asymmetry of the bouncing leads to ~40% reduction in contact time.

Edvard Munch's To the Forest: nature as medium and metaphor
Creators: name: West, Mara C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Edvard Munch, in his many paintings and prints, frequently utilizes biological concepts and botanical imagery as explanatory metaphors for human problems. Munch's biological and natural motifs seem heavily indebted to nineteenth-century scientific and philosophical thinking, particularly Vitalism, and the ideas of Nietzsche. Munch's woodcuts include some of his most interesting visualizations of the themes of biology; the woodcut To the Forest (Mot Skogen) is one such work in which biological concepts are central to its meaning. References to the natural world occur in both the representation of a forest, while its very medium is wood. The woodcut is thus a nexus where, in its medium and its message, nineteenth-century ideas about nature, science, love and the human soul, coexist in a struggle for coherence.

Subcritical transition to turbulence of a precessing flow in a cylindrical vessel

description: The transition to turbulence in a precessing cylindrical vessel is experimentally investigated. Our measurements are performed for a { nearly-resonant} configuration with an initially laminar flow dominated by an inertial mode with azimuthal wave number $m=1$ superimposed on a solid body rotation. By increasing the precession ratio, we observe a transition from the laminar to a non-linear regime, which then breakdowns to turbulence for larger precession ratio. Our measurements show that the transition to turbulence is subcritical, with a discontinuity of the wall-pressure and the power consumption at the threshold $ε_{LT}$. The turbulence is self-sustained below this threshold, describing a bifurcation diagram with a hysteresis. In this range of the control parameters, the turbulent flows can suddenly collapse after a finite duration, leading to a definitive relaminarization of the flow. The average lifetime $\langle τ\rangle$ of the turbulence increases rapidly when $ε$ tends to $ε_{LT}$.

description: In general, recommender systems attempt to estimate user preference based on historical data. A context-aware recommender system attempts to generate better recommendations using contextual information. However, generating recommendations for specific contexts has been challenging because of the difficulties in using contextual information to enhance the capabilities of recommender systems. Several methods have been used to incorporate contextual information into traditional recommendation algorithms. These methods focus on incorporating contextual information to improve general recommendations for users rather than identifying the different context applicable to the user and providing recommendations geared towards those specific contexts. In this thesis, we explore different context-aware recommendation techniques and present our context-aware coupled matrix factorization methods that use matrix factorization for estimating user preference and features in a specific contextual condition. We develop two methods: the first method attaches user preference across multiple contextual conditions, making the assumption that user preference remains the same, but the suitability of items differs across different contextual conditions; i.e., an item might not be suitable for certain conditions. The second method assumes that item suitability remains the same across different contextual conditions but user preference changes. We perform a number of experiments on the last.fm dataset to evaluate our methods. We also compared our work to other context-aware recommendation approaches. Our results show that grouping ratings by context and jointly factorizing with common factors improves prediction accuracy.

description: Linear-time invariant (LTI) oscillation systems such as forced mechanical vibration, series RLC and parallel RLC circuits can be solved by using simplest initial conditions or employing of Green's function of which knowledge of initial condition of the force term is needed. Here we show a mathematical connection of the LTI system and the Helmholtz equation form of the time-independent Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanical scattering problem. We apply Born approximation in quantum mechanics to obtain LTI general solution in form of infinite Born series which can be expressed as a series of one-dimensional Feynman graphs. Conditions corresponding to the approximation are given for the case of harmonic driving force. The Born series of the harmonic forced oscillation case are derived by directly applying the approximation to the LTI system or by transforming the LTI system to Helmholtz equation prior to doing the approximation.

description: An exact solution is presented for the time-dependent wavefunction of a Kramers doublet which propagates around a quantum ring with tuneable Rashba spin-orbit interaction. By propagating in segments it is shown that Kramers-doublet qubits may be defined for which transformations on the Bloch sphere may be performed for an integral number of revolutions around the ring. The conditions for full coverage of the Bloch sphere are determined and explained in terms of sequential qubit rotations due to electron motion along the segments, with change of rotation axes between segments due to adiabatic changes in the Rashba spin-orbit interaction. Prospects and challenges for possible realizations are discussed for which rings based on InAs quantum wires are promising candidates.
Effectiveness and efficiency of a customized versus conventional orthodontic bracket system
Creators: name: Weber, Dennis J., II
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

description: The goal of this investigation was to compare the clinical effectiveness and efficiency of a customized versus a conventional orthodontic bracket system. Pre-treatment and post-treatment diagnostic records of 11 patients treated with conventional brackets and 35 patients treated with Ormco [registered trademark]'s Insignia TM appliance were analyzed. Initial PAR and age at start of treatment were used to ensure comparable groups. Data regarding total treatment time, number of scheduled appointments, emergency appointments, de-bonded brackets, repositioned brackets and/or detailing bends, final PAR, and ABO score was collected and compared. Insignia TM proved to be an effective tooth-moving appliance based on final PAR score. Further, cases treated with Insignia TM had superior ABO scores compared to the similarly treated cases with conventional brackets. Insignia TM was also more efficient in regards to total treatment time and number of scheduled appointments.

description: The spatial distribution of crime has been a long-standing interest in the field of criminology. Research in this area has shown that activity nodes and travel paths are key components that help to define patterns of offending. Little research, however, has considered the influence of activity nodes on the spatial distribution of crimes in crime neutral areas - those where crimes are more haphazardly dispersed. Further, a review of the literature has revealed a lack of research in determining the relative strength of attraction that different types of activity nodes possess based on characteristics of criminal events in their immediate surrounds. In this paper we use offenders' home locations and the locations of their crimes to define directional and distance parameters. Using these parameters we apply mathematical structures to define rules by which different models may behave to investigate the influence of activity nodes on the spatial distribution of crimes in crime neutral areas. The findings suggest an increasing likelihood of crime as a function of geometric angle and distance from an offender's home location to the site of the criminal event. Implications of the results are discussed.

description: Roberto Herlitzka’s La natura di Lucrezio, published in 2019, is one of the most elegant and original poetic translations of Lucretius’ De rerum natura into Italian. Herlitzka, who began this monumental work in the early 1950s, devoted nearly six decades to honing his translation of the first four books of Lucretius’ epic. The text appears to be influenced by Dante, with its archaic language and terza rima structure. Herlitzka’s translation, however, goes beyond mere stylistic homage, subtly reshaping the legacies of both authors. While evoking Dante’s aura, the translation remains uniquely Herlitzka’s, demonstrating a deep sensitivity to the Latin text and intricate poetic craftsmanship. This intersection of Lucretius and Dante ultimately results in a work distinct from both, reflecting Herlitzka’s transformative approach to classical translation.

description: With the relatively high levels of immigration of the recent past, newcomers have narrowed their selection of destinations to a small number of major cities. This paper reviews some of the recent socio-cultural transformations in Canada's four largest cities during the 1990s. We discuss the variation between cities in terms of immigrant class and countries of origin. Three policy issues are briefly addressed: residential segregation, multiethnic neighbourhoods, and relations between immigrants and the housing market. Results are taken from policy-relevant research conducted by the federally-funded Metropolis Project that is examining the impacts and experiences of immigrants in Canada's largest cities.

On examine brièvement trois facteurs d'élaboration des politiques : la ségrégation résidentielle, les quartiers multiethniques et les rapports entre les immigrants et le marché de l'habitation. Les données proviennent du projet Metropolis, financé par le gouvernement fédéral, qui analyse, dans une optique d'élaboration de politiques d'aménagement, l'expérience des immigrants dans les plus grandes villes canadiennes.

description: Research in social cognition has predominantly investigated perceptual and inferential processes separately, however real-world social interactions usually involve integration between person inferences (e.g., generous, selfish) and the perception of physical appearance (e.g., thin, tall). Therefore, in the current work, we investigated the integration of different person-relevant signals, by estimating the extent to which bias in one social information processing system influences another. Following an initial stimulus-validation experiment (Experiment 1, N=55), two further pre-registered experiments (Experiments 2, N=55 & 3; N=123) employed a priming paradigm to measure the effects of extraversion-diagnostic information on subsequent health and body-size judgements of a target body. The results were consistent across both priming experiments and supported our predictions: compared to trait-neutral control statements, extraversion-diagnostic statements increased judgements of health and decreased those of body size. As such, we show that trait-based knowledge does not only influence mappings towards similar types of person judgments, such as health judgments. Rather, even a brief re-configuration of trait-space alters mappings towards non-trait judgments, which are based on body size and shape. The results complement prior neuroimaging findings that showed functional interactions between the body-selective brain regions in the ventral visual stream and the theory of mind network when forming impressions of others. Therefore, we provide a functional signature of how distinct information processing units exchange signals and integrate information in order to form impressions. Overall, the current study underscores the value of behavioural work in complementing neuroscience when investigating the role and properties of functional integration during impression formation. Additionally, it stresses the potential limitations of an over-reliance on studying separate systems in isolation.
Exporting values: conditionality, democracy and the European neighbourhood

description: In recent years the European Union has begun to emerge as an important regional and global 'soft' power. The corner stone of its new role is the promotion of democracy and European values. In the past decade the borders of the EU have become increasingly unstable. In an attempt promote a stable and prosperous region the EU has developed the European Neighourhood Policy (ENP). However, an examination of the strategies and concepts present in this policy bring up questions surrounding its validity as a democracy promotion tool. In this thesis I will argue that the ENP will be insufficient as a democracy promotion tool because it fails to provide the necessary conditionality or reciprocity. I will argue that this lack of conditionality is a result of differing preferences among member states as well as EU economic and strategic protectionism. Finally, I will argue that without proper conditionality the ENP cannot succeed given the current political conditions in the ENP states.

subject: Life Sciences
subject: evidence map

description: We will synthesize secondary literature on health, biological, and environmental consequences of artificial light at night (ALAN), also known as light pollution, one main objective and three secondary objectives. For the main objective (Objective 1), we will create a systematic (evidence) map to provide an overview of the content distribution of the secondary research on ALAN. For the secondary objectives (Objectives 2 – 4), we aim to identify how ALAN studies are structured on the map created in Objective 1 and how they evolve over time (Objective 2). We also appraise their validity (Objective 3) and translational impacts (e.g., media attention and policy and patent translation; Objective 4). Below, we list specific research questions to be answered by each objective.

Children’s Behavior During Group Storytime in Head Start Pre-Kindergarten
Creators: name: Livengood, Megan C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The study examined children's participation, attention, and body movement during group storytime in Head Start pre-kindergarten classrooms. Observers recorded frequencies of participation, looking away, and body movement. Teachers completed questionnaires that included measures of temperament, teacher-child relationship, and literacy skills. A total of sixteen children from four classrooms were observed in storytime at least two different times throughout the semester. Results described children who participate most often in storytime as being extroverted and able to control their attention during activities. Previous studies have shown that children's participation in storytime could positively influence their acquisition of vocabulary and other literacy skills (Sénéchal, Thomas, & Monker, 1995). Teachers in this sample rated nearly all children very highly on the literacy skills measure; no significant correlations were found between the observed variables and scores on the literacy skills measure.

Coil--globule transition of a polymer involved in excluded-volume interactions with macromolecules

description: Polymers adopt extended coil and compact globule states according to the balance between entropy and interaction energies. The transition of a polymer between an extended coil state and compact globule state can be induced by changing thermodynamic force such as temperature to alter the energy/entropy balance. Previously, this transition was theoretically studied by taking into account the excluded-volume interaction between monomers of a polymer chain using the partition function. For binary mixtures of a long polymer and short polymers, the coil-globule transition can be induced by changing the concentration of the shorter polymers. Here we investigate the transition caused by short polymers by generalizing the partition function of the long polymer to include the excluded-volume effect of short polymers. The coil-globule transition is studied as a function of the concentration of mixed polymers by systematically varying Flory's chi-parameters. We show that the transition is caused by the interplay between the excluded-volume interaction and the dispersion state of short polymers in the solvent. We also reveal that the same results can be obtained by combining the mixing entropy and elastic energy if the volume of a long polymer is properly defined.

Bounds on the number of connected components for tropical prevarieties

description: For a tropical prevariety in ${R}^n$ given by a system of $k$ tropical polynomials in $n$ variables with degrees at most $d$, we prove that its number of connected components is less than ${k+7n-1 \choose 3n} \cdot \frac{d^{3n}}{k+n+1}$. On a number of $0$-dimensional connected components a better bound ${k+4n \choose 3n} \cdot \frac{d^n}{k+n+1}$ is obtained, which extends the Bezout bound due to B.~Sturmfels from the the case $k=n$ to an arbitrary $k\ge n$. Also we show that the latter bound is close to sharp, in particular, the number of connected components can depend on $k$.
