description: GJ1214b is a warm sub-Neptune transiting in front of a nearby M dwarf star. Recent observations indicate the presence of high and thick clouds or haze whose presence requires strong atmospheric mixing. In order to understand the transport and distribution of such clouds/haze, we study the atmospheric circulation and the vertical mixing of GJ1214b with a 3D General Circulation Model for cloud-free hydrogen-dominated atmospheres (metallicity of 1, 10 and 100 times the solar value) and for a water-dominated atmosphere. We analyze the effect of the atmospheric metallicity on the thermal structure and zonal winds. We also analyze the zonal mean meridional circulation and show that it corresponds to an anti-Hadley circulation in most of the atmosphere with upwelling at mid-latitude and downwelling at the equator in average. This circulation must be present on a large range of synchronously rotating exoplanets with strong impact on cloud formation and distribution. Using simple tracers, we show that vertical winds on GJ1214b can be strong enough to loft micrometric particles and that the anti-Hadley circulation leads to a minimum of tracers at the equator. We find that the strength of the vertical mixing increases with metallicity. We derive 1D equivalent eddy diffusion coefficients and find simple parametrizations from Kzz=7x10^2xP_{bar}^{-0.4} m^2/s for solar metallicity to Kzz=3x10^3xP_{bar}^{-0.4} m^2/s for the 100xsolar metallicity. These values should favor an efficient formation of photochemical haze in the upper atmosphere of GJ1214b.

Head Faithfulness in Lexical Blends: A Positional Approach to Blend Formation
Creators: name: Shaw, Katherine Elaine
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: This thesis applies Positional Faithfulness theory (Beckman 1998) to the problem of lexical blending in English. Lexical blends, like brunch or motel, contract multiple source words into a single lexical item shaped by competing sets of phonological and psycholinguistic constraints. Existing studies of blend structure (e.g., Bat-El & Cohen 2012, Gries 2004a,b) focus on the contributions of each source word relative to their linear order, positions that have little relevance outside of blend formation. I present both corpus and experimental data to argue that previously observed right-word faithfulness effects are actually due to head faithfulness (Revithiadou 1999). This has two major implications: it provides evidence for the existence of positional faithfulness and of head faithfulness in particular; second, it demonstrates that blend formation is subject to independently motivated, broadly applicable constraints. In addition, the discovery of left-headed blends in the corpus argues that blending is a distinct process from compounding.

description: The dynamics of symplectic gauge fields provides a consistent framework for fundamental interactions based on spin three gauge fields. One remarkable property is that symplectic gauge fields only have minimal couplings with gravitational fields and not with any other field of the Standard Model. Interactions with ordinary matter and radiation can only arise from radiative corrections. In spite of the gauge nature of symplectic fields they acquire a mass by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism which generates Higgs-like mass terms where the gravitational field is playing the role of a Higgs field. Massive symplectic gauge fields weakly interacting with ordinary matter are natural candidates for the dark matter component of the Universe.

Quantifying river form variations in the Mississippi Basin using remotely sensed imagery
Creators: name: Miller, Zachary Fritz
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Geographic variations in river shape are often estimated using the framework of downstream hydraulic geometry (DHG), which links spatial changes in discharge and channel width, depth, and velocity through power-law models. Because these empirical relationships are derived from in situ data and may not describe all variability in channel form, we create a dataset of 1.2x10^6 river widths in the Mississippi Basin measured from remotely sensed imagery. We construct DHG for the Mississippi drainage by linking DEM-estimated discharge values to each width measurement. Well-developed DHG exists over the entire Mississippi basin, while individual sub-basins vary substantially from existing width-discharge scaling. Comparison of depth predictions from traditional depth-discharge relationships with one incorporating width into the DHG framework shows that including width improves depth estimates in basins with high width variability. Results suggest that channel geometry derived from remotely sensed imagery better characterizes variability in river form than the assumptions of DHG.
A Forensically Sound Adversary Model for Mobile Devices

Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: In this paper, we propose an adversary model to facilitate forensic investigations of mobile devices (e.g. Android, iOS and Windows smartphones) that can be readily adapted to the latest mobile device technologies. This is essential given the ongoing and rapidly changing nature of mobile device technologies. An integral principle and significant constraint upon forensic practitioners is that of forensic soundness. Our adversary model specifically considers and integrates the constraints of forensic soundness on the adversary, in our case, a forensic practitioner. One construction of the adversary model is an evidence collection and analysis methodology for Android devices. Using the methodology with six popular cloud apps, we were successful in extracting various information of forensic interest in both the external and internal storage of the mobile device.
Revolution or Evolution? AI-Driven Image Classification of Historical Prints

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Deep Learning and Transfer Learning are rapidly advancing text and image classification in many disciplines (e.g., Lucas et al. 2022, Huang et al. 2022, Kumar et al. 2020). With the progressing digitisation of cultural heritage, AI increasingly finds applications in arts and humanities disciplines as well (Cetinic et al. 2019, Saleh / Elgammal 2016). It is evident that AI technologies open new possibilities for processing and analysing large, heterogeneous historical data corpora in a semi-automated way (Im et al. 2022). But do they have the potential to “overturn intellectual legacies” and to revolutionise the field? In the project Ottoman Nature in Travelogues (ONiT 2023) we strive to leverage the application of AI technologies to historical research by developing an interdisciplinary methodological framework for the semi-automated, AI-driven analysis of text–image relations. Our object of study is a large multilingual corpus of travelogues printed 1501–1850 (Rörden et al. 2020) that contains representations of Ottoman “nature” (i.e., flora, fauna, landscapes) both in text and image. This short presentation focuses on our first results achieved for improving image classification of historical prints (i.e., mostly woodcuts, engravings, and etchings). We present our approach to robustly identify and classify key image types in our corpus and discuss challenges and lessons learned during this process.

Competitive advantage
Knowledge processes
Resource-based view

description: KIBS providers are organizations that perform knowledge intensive business activities mainly for other organizations and in the present age have become key components of industrialized economies. The primary purpose of KIBS providers is to deliver customized solutions to clients through the implementation of three core knowledge processes: knowledge acquisition, knowledge recombination, and knowledge diffusion. Existing research has predominantly focused on understanding the importance of these providers in creating a competitive edge for their clients. However, little is known in terms of how such providers can create an improved competitive position for themselves. This research helps to understand whether the use of knowledge processes influences the competitive advantage¬ of KIBS providers. A guiding framework developed from literature posits that such generic knowledge processes may provide competitive advantage for a given provider if they are transformed into valuable, rare, inimitable, and well-exploited resources (VRIO). The study follows a holistic multiple case research design of three IT service providers to refine the existing theory on the influence of knowledge processes on the competitive advantage of KIBS providers. Data was collected through interviews of employees occupying different roles in a company to provide their perspectives on the various parts of the framework. The findings of this study reveal that participants perceive knowledge processes to provide competitive advantage to their companies. However, data analysis using the VRIO framework indicates that knowledge processes do not confer competitive advantage by themselves, but rather through an emerging theme called delivery. Findings also indicate that delivery influences other factors of competitive advantage. The study contributes to the existing literature as it leads to a refined understanding of the relationship between knowledge processes and competitive advantage by highlighting the importance of delivery as a dynamic capability. The study has practical implications for managers as it informs them that delivery improves brand name, reduces costs, and helps to achieve client satisfaction.
Organometallic chemistry of selected third row metal complexes

Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: A series of neutral platinum(IV) carboxamido complexes of the type Tp prime PtMe2(C=O)NHR have been prepared via nucleophilic attack by a series of amide ions at the carbonyl carbon of Tp prime Me(CO) and subsequent addition of methyl iodide. Deprotonation of the carboxamido nitrogen atom, and subsequent acidification results in the formation of Tp prime Me2H by eliminating free isocyanate along the reaction pathway. Likewise, addition of methyl iodide upon deprotonation generates the corresponding Tp prime PtMe3 complex. This reaction sequence has shown promise as a recyclable route to synthesizing isocyanates from amines, as the Tp prime Me2H product is a precursor for the Tp prime Me(CO) starting material. Although a preliminary mechanism has been proposed, further studies on the mechanism of isocyanate elimination may provide additional insight into the analogous elimination of carbon dioxide in the water gas shift reaction...

description: Grapevines, alternative host plants, and vectors from different viticultural areas of Germany were surveyed for the presence of stolbur-group phytoplasmas that are associated with grapevine yellows. Isolates from these field samples and periwinkle isolates of stolbur were characterised by RFLP-analysis of non-ribosomal DNA fragments using a combination of 6 polymorphic primer-enzyme combinations. Three of the 5 different restriction profiles that could be distinguished were found in grapevine and other field samples of plants and insects. A previously unknown isolate was detected in grapevine, vectors and the newly identified herbaceous host Calystegia sepium. The further analysis of the phylogenetic relationship between the 5 RFLP groups revealed a close relationship between two of the isolates associated with grapevine yellows which were also found in the two Convolvulaceae Convolvulus arvensis and Calystegia sepium. The third isolate which was detected in grapevine and stinging nettle Urtica dioica is more closely related to a periwinkle isolate obtained from Lavandula officinalis than to the other two grapevine yellows isolates. Based on the data of the field survey a specific association of the three isolates to different alternative host plants is discussed.

Dispatches from a Wasteful Nation: How America Squanders its Food and Leaves Citizens Hungry
Creators: name: Bloom, Jonathan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: America is becoming increasingly wasteful with its food, as almost half of the products grown or produced in America are not eaten. This waste of resources costs farmers, food companies, individuals and the U.S. government more than $100 billion each year. The majority of these losses could be avoided, possibly helping feed hungry citizens and reduce the American trade deficit. The purpose of this study is to illuminate the phenomenon of food waste, examining how and why America squanders so much edible food. To do so, this series of three journalistic articles will investigate food waste in farm, retail and household settings.
Schatten class and Berezin transform of quaternionic linear operators

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)

description: In this paper we introduce the Schatten class of operators and the Berezin transform of operators in the quaternionic setting. The first topic is of great importance in operator theory but it is also necessary to study the second one because we need the notion of trace class operators, which is a particular case of the Schatten class. Regarding the Berezin transform, we give the general definition and properties. Then we concentrate on the setting of weighted Bergman spaces of slice hyperholomorphic functions. Our results are based on the S-spectrum for quaternionic operators, which is the notion of spectrum that appears in the quaternionic version of the spectral theorem and in the quaternionic S-functional calculus.

description: Based on gas-phase laboratory spectra at 6 K, Campbell et al. (2015) confirmed that the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) at 9632.7 and 9577.5A are due to absorption by the fullerene ion C60+. They also reported the detection of two other, weaker bands at 9428.5 and 9365.9A. These lie in spectral regions heavily contaminated by telluric water vapour lines. We acquired CFHT ESPaDOnS spectra of HD183143 close to the zenith and chopped with a nearby standard to correct for the telluric line absorption which enabled us to detect a DIB at 9365.9A of relative width and strength comparable to the laboratory absorption. There is a DIB of similar strength and FWHM at 9362.5A. A stellar emission feature at 9429A prevented detection of the 9428.5A band. However, a CFHT archival spectrum of HD169454, where emission is absent at 9429A, clearly shows the 9428.5A DIB with the expected strength and width. These results further confirm C60+ as a DIB carrier.

description: We report the observed photon bunching statistics of biexciton cascade emission at zero time delay in single quantum dots by second-order correlation function measurements under continuous wave excitation. It is found that the bunching phenomenon is independent of the biexciton binding energy when it varies from 0.59 meV to nearly zero. The photon bunching takes place when the exciton photon is not spectrally distinguishable from biexciton photon, and either of them can trigger the start in a Hanbury-Brown and Twiss setup. However, if the exciton energy is spectrally distinguishable from the biexciton the photon statistics becomes asymmetric and a cross-bunching lineshape is obtained. The theoretical calculations based on a model of three-level rate-equation analysis are consistent with the result of second-order correlation function measurements.
Daily Recipient Mood and Social Support Provision for Women with Breast Cancer

Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer can experience an array of psychosocial difficulties; however, social support, particularly from a spouse, has been shown to serve a protective function. This study examined the ways in which a woman's mood and her spouse's marital satisfaction influence a male partner's decision to provide such support. Pre-test data (including a baseline measure and a 30 day daily diary) from a larger intervention study and Multilevel Modeling (MLM) were used. Results show that on days in which women reported higher levels of negative or positive mood, they received more support. Also, women who were overall more positive tended to receive more support than those who were less positive, but overall levels of negativity had no effect. Finally, men who were more satisfied in their marriages provided more support to their wives, but remained responsive to women's mood. Implications of these findings are discussed.

description: When decoding graphs, both children and adults use the elementary tasks found in graphical perception. These principles and rankings have been widely studied to curate design recommendations for making effective graphs. This has proven fruitful for adults, the generally-studied population, but we do not know if these same findings apply to children as few studies have investigated their visual perception in regards to graphs. This leaves a gap where we need to understand if the graphical perception studies we conducted on adults apply to children as well to best inform the research that deals with educating and designing graphs for children. We hope to find guidelines for data visualization design that are generalizable across ages.

description: We inquire how structure emerges during the process of protein folding. For this we scrutinise col- lective many-atom motions during all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. We introduce, develop and employ various topological techniques, in combination with analytic tools that we deduce from the concept of integrable models and structure of discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation. The example we consider is an alpha-helical subunit of the HIV envelope glycoprotein gp41. The helical structure is stable when the subunit is part of the biological oligomer. But in isolation the helix becomes unstable, and the monomer starts deforming. We follow the process computationally. We interpret the evolving structure both in terms of a backbone based Heisenberg spin chain and in terms of a side chain based XY spin chain. We find that in both cases the formation of protein super-secondary structure is akin the formation of a topological Bloch domain wall along a spin chain. During the process we identify three individual Bloch walls and we show that each of them can be modelled with a very high precision in terms of a soliton solution to a discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation.

description: Flavescence dorée (FD) and Bois noir (BN) are the two main yellows of grapevine in Europe and are caused by phytoplasmas of the 16SrV and 16SrXII-A groups respectively. A new triplex real-time PCR assay was developed in order to detect simultaneously the FD and BN phytoplasmas as well as grapevine chloroplastic DNA with TaqMan minor groove binder probes. Each set of designed primers and probes specifically detected the map gene of the FD and BN phytoplasmas, respectively and did not detect phytoplasmas from other phylogenetic groups. PCR efficiencies varied from 90 to 110 %. The PCR assay showed good intra-test and inter-test reproducibility. Triplex real-time PCR was compared to the conventional biplex nested-PCR method. The sensitivity of the real-time PCR, tested on several infected periwinkle and grapevine samples, was up to 5 and 100 times higher for the BN-P and the FD-P targets, respectively. Out of 109 grapevine samples analysed 10, which were negative with the nested PCR, turned to be FD-P positive with the real-time PCR. A decision scheme was set up according to the Ct values of the FD-P, BN-P and grapevine targets in order to assess the routine detection results.

A synoptic observation program at the McMath-Pierce has measured umbral magnetic field strengths since 1998, and this data set has recently been compared with umbral magnetic field observations from SOHO MDI and SDO HMI. To further improve on the data from McMath-Pierce, we compared the data with measurements taken at the Dunn Solar Telescope with far greater spectral resolution than has been possible with space instrumentation. To minimise potential disruption to the study, concurrent umbral measurements were made so that the relationship between the two datasets can be most accurately characterised. We find that there is a strong agreement between the umbral magnetic field strengths recorded by each instrument, and we reduced the FIRS data in two different ways to successfully test this correlation further.

description: Traditional quantum error-correcting codes are designed for the depolarizing channel modeled by generalized Pauli errors occurring with equal probability. Amplitude damping channels model, in general, the decay process of a multilevel atom or energy dissipation of a bosonic system at zero temperature. We discuss quantum error-correcting codes adapted to amplitude damping channels for higher dimensional systems (qudits). For multi-level atoms, we consider a natural kind of decay process, and for bosonic systems,we consider the qudit amplitude damping channel obtained by truncating the Fock basis of the bosonic modes to a certain maximum occupation number. We construct families of single-error-correcting quantum codes that can be used for both cases. Our codes have larger code dimensions than the previously known single-error-correcting codes of the same lengths. Additionally, we present families of multi-error correcting codes for these two channels, as well as generalizations of our construction technique to error-correcting codes for the qutrit $V$ and $Λ$ channels.

Investigation of microfluidic hepatocyte and hepatic progenitor cell cultures in vitro
Creators: name: Goli, Vidya M.

Year: 2007

description: The in vitro culture of liver cells has applications in extracorporeal bioreactors, generation of grafts for transplantation, and drug screening. It was postulated that hepatic cells could be cultured within a microfluidic environment. A series of microchannels of varied width was tested with hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) and showed maintained viability and a measurable level of albumin. Then HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells were tested in a "Spheroid Chamber" design to attempt to encase the cells and maintain cell viability. Another device consisting of a channel layer and a well layer was then tested, resulting in successful seeding of the device but without maintained cell viability. Then viability and albumin production were tested in a series of channels, showing albumin fluorescence and maintained viability. In conclusion, we were able to show that HPC and HepG2 viability and hepatocellular behavior can be maintained in a microfluidic environment.
A Low-Complexity Detection Algorithm for the Primary Synchronization Signal in LTE

description: One of the challenging tasks in LTE baseband receiver design is synchronization, which determines the symbol boundary and transmitted frame start-time, and performs cell identification. Conventional algorithms are based on correlation methods that involve a large number of multiplications and thus lead to high receiver hardware complexity and power consumption. In this paper, a hardware-efficient synchronization algorithm for frame timing based on K-means clustering schemes is proposed. The algorithm reduces the complexity of the primary synchronization signal for LTE from 24 complex-multiplications, currently best known in the literature, to just 8. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has negligible performance degradation with reduced complexity relative to conventional techniques.

The presence and function of Russia in the fiction of José Manuel Prieto
Creators: name: Newman, Britton W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This thesis explores the recreation of Russia in the works of José Manuel Prieto and the concerns which lead this Cuban author to write about Russia. It takes into account Prieto's experience as a Cuban immigrant to Russia, and seeks to add the study of the literature of this migrant experience to the larger body of work on the Cuban diaspora. In Chapter 2, I analyze the intricacies of Prieto's portrayal of Russia, how he serves as a cultural guide who opens Russia for the uninitiated Hispanic reader. This chapter also explores the manner in which the portrayal of Russia often serves to develop the character of the Cuban narrator who otherwise hides his own identity in the shadows. In Chapter 3, I turn my attention to the themes of politics and nationality which Prieto is able to approach through his use of Russia.

Spatial variability of denitrification in tidal freshwater rivers
Creators: name: Von Korff, Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Denitrification (DNF) rates in river channel sediments are thought to be lower than the riparian zone, but few studies have examined spatial variability of DNF in the tidal freshwater zone (TFZ). DNF was measured in the channel, bank, and floodplain at upstream and downstream sites of two TFZs of rivers in Eastern NC with different nitrate regimes, the New River and Newport River, using membrane inlet mass spectrometry. DNF was usually similar between sites regardless of inundation regime. The contribution of channel sediments to the net N2 flux was greater than the riparian zone in the New River, and less in the Newport River. Sediment oxygen demand was usually correlated to DNF in the New River, and periodically in the Newport River. These data provide new information on the relative importance of the channel, bank, and floodplain to TFZ DNF and will improve estimates of N removal by the TFZ.

description: Services delivery redesign (SDR) processes have resulted in promising models for improving performance of maternal and neonatal health (MNH) services delivery. However, there are knowledge gaps around what these processes (and resulting models) entail, how they are implemented, and around their effectiveness within various health systems. This scoping review will examine both peer-reviewed and grey literature to collate examples of SDR processes and models, summarize their effectiveness and impact on MNH outcomes, and describe their implementation characteristics and the health system factors that influence their implementation and outcomes.
