description: Given a digraph $G$, a lot of attention has been deserved on the maximum number $ϕ(G)$ of fixed points in a Boolean network $f:\{0,1\}^n\to\{0,1\}^n$ with $G$ as interaction graph. In particular, a central problem in network coding consists in studying the optimality of the classical upper bound $ϕ(G)\leq 2^τ$, where $τ$ is the minimum size of a feedback vertex set of $G$. In this paper, we study the maximum number $ϕ_m(G)$ of fixed points in a {\em monotone} Boolean network with interaction graph $G$. We establish new upper and lower bounds on $ϕ_m(G)$ that depends on the cycle structure of $G$. In addition to $τ$, the involved parameters are the maximum number $ν$ of vertex-disjoint cycles, and the maximum number $ν^{*}$ of vertex-disjoint cycles verifying some additional technical conditions. We improve the classical upper bound $2^τ$ by proving that $ϕ_m(G)$ is at most the largest sub-lattice of $\{0,1\}^τ$ without chain of size $ν+1$, and without another forbidden-pattern of size $2ν^{*}$. Then, we prove two optimal lower bounds: $ϕ_m(G)\geq ν+1$ and $ϕ_m(G)\geq 2^{ν^{*}}$. As a consequence, we get the following characterization: $ϕ_m(G)=2^τ$ if and only if $ν^{*}=τ$. As another consequence, we get that if $c$ is the maximum length of a chordless cycle of $G$ then $2^{ν/3^c}\leqϕ_m(G)\leq 2^{cν}$. Finally, with the technics introduced, we establish an upper bound on the number of fixed points of any Boolean network according to its signed interaction graph.

Inclusive Capitalism and Bottom of the Pyramid Approaches to Development: The Case of Information and Communication Technologies Fostering 'Inclusion' in Developing Countries

description: With the increasingly salient role of business in development, the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) approach is sparking great interest in multinational corporations, donor agencies, and academic circles. The BOP proposition holds that profit-generating enterprise-based ventures – typically led by multinational corporations – can reduce poverty and improve the standard of living by offering goods and services to the poor or integrating them in the value chain. BOP as a development strategy is predicated on the “inclusion” of the poor into market to enable them to reap the benefits of greater wealth and prosperity. This thesis critically investigates to what extent BOP interventions contribute to the social inclusion of marginalized groups in developing countries like Bangladesh. The thesis analyzes the case of public access information and communication technologies (ICTs) venues such as telecentres. Such venues provide access to ICTs such as Internet that enable people to access, use and share information and knowledge at an unprecedented level, offering great potential for socio-economic development. Overall, the thesis reveals the limitations in the BOP approach in contributing to inclusion, by showing the contradictions between the economic logic of business and the social imperative of inclusion. Through focusing on a broader view of inclusion, the findings highlight the complex relationship between digital inclusion and social inclusion in developing countries. In particular, the thesis problematizes the notion of “inclusive business”, which, by aiming to integrate the poor as consumers and women as entrepreneurs, serves the purpose of extending the reach of business. Thus inclusive business is rather different from a view of inclusion towards meaningfully contributing to one’s social and economic advancement. The thesis also argues that the various dimensions of inclusion are highly contingent on the business strategies and motivations of corporations as well as meso-level organizational formations. The analysis of corporate strategies uncovers how revenue making considerations are driving BOP interventions at the cost of accountability towards their stakeholders. By interrogating some of the issues silent in the discussions on business and development, such as inequality and exclusion, the work provides a counter narrative to the BOP discourse, raising questions about the uncritical repositioning of business as a development agent.
What's real and what's news: an exploratory analysis of media coverage and resident perceptions of environmental risk using objective risk data
Creators: name: Smithson-Stanley, Lynsy Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: This thesis draws on five disparate data sources to examine availability and efficacy of media covering environmental risk in North Carolina. Framed as a study of environmental in/justice, the analysis uses objective measures of risk to examine the state's health disparities in light of demographic data. The results indicate that counties with more poor and more minority residents are both less healthy overall and have fewer media outlets to learn about health and environmental risks. Recommendations for more robust and thorough media coverage of environmental risks accompany suggestions for public health practitioners and future research.

description: Mixed-moment models, introduced before for one space dimension, are a modification of the method of moments applied to a (linear) kinetic equation, by choosing mixtures of different partial moments. They are well-suited to handle such equations where collisions of particles are modelled with a Laplace-Beltrami operator. We generalize the concept of mixed moments to two dimension. The resulting hyperbolic system of equations has desirable properties, removing some drawbacks of the well-known $\MN[1]$ model. We furthermore provide a realizability theory for a first-order system of mixed moments by linking it to the corresponding quarter-moment theory. Additionally, we derive a type of Kershaw closures for mixed- and quarter-moment models, giving an efficient closure (compared to minimum-entropy models). The derived closures are investigated for different benchmark problems.

Revolutionary Teachers: Women and Gender in the Cuban Literacy Campaign of 1961
Creators: name: Halbert-Brooks, Ann Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: The Literacy Campaign of 1961 brought the literacy rate in Cuba from 77 to 96 percent, an increase of nearly one million people, in just twelve months. While this achievement is notable, the Literacy Campaign also proposed a new ideal of womanhood in the wake of the 1959 revolution. Before the revolution, 80 percent of all teachers in Cuba were women and the profession was regarded as a low-status one. The publicity for the 1961 Literacy Campaign, however, presented teaching as heroic, patriotic, and difficult work, frequently drawing on metaphors of warfare and struggle for intellectual empowerment to energize the public. This message was presented in virtually every media outlet--newspapers, magazines, television, movies, and radio--on a daily basis. The women who taught in the Literacy Campaign used this rhetoric to claim greater freedom and responsibility for themselves, even when the reaction of the general public was more ambivalent.

description: We report on fabrication of a two-dimensional topological insulator-Bi(111) bilayer on Sb nanofilms via a sequential molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth technique. Our angle-resolved photoemission measurements demonstrate the evolution of the electronic band structure of the heterostructure as a function of the film thickness and reveal the existence of a two-dimensional spinful massless electron gas within the top Bi bilayer. Interestingly, Our first-principles calculation extrapolating the observed band structure shows that, by tuning down the thickness of the supporting Sb films into the quantum dimension regime, a pair of isolated topological edge states emerges in a partial energy gap at 0.32 eV above the Fermi level as a consequence of quantum confinement effect. Our results and methodology of fabricating nanoscale heterostructures establish the Bi bilayer/Sb heterostructure as a platform of great potential for both ultralow-energy-cost electronics and surface-based spintronics.
Comparative study of two dynamics-model-based estimation algorithms for distributed drive electric vehicles

description: The effect of vehicle active safety systems is subject to the accurate knowledge of vehicle states. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop a precise and robust estimation approach so as to deal with nonlinear vehicle dynamics systems. In this paper, a planar vehicle model with a simplified tire model is established first. Two advanced model-based estimation algorithms, an unscented Kalman filter and a moving horizon estimation, are developed for distributed drive electric vehicles. Using the proposed algorithms, vehicle longitudinal velocity, lateral velocity, yaw rate as well as lateral tire forces are estimated based on information fusion of standard sensors in today’s typical vehicle and feedback signals from electric motors. Computer simulations are implemented in the environment of CarSim combined with Matlab/Simulink. The performance of both estimators regarding convergence, accuracy, and robustness against an incorrect initial estimate of longitudinal velocity is compared in detail. The comparison results demonstrate that both estimation approaches have favourable coincidence with the corresponding reference values, while the moving horizon estimation is more accurate and robust, and owns faster convergence.

description: Pyroshocks are structural responses to transient excitation caused by the essential use of pyrotechnic devices in aerospace applications. In order to avoid damage in aerospace structures due to pyroshocks, tests are performed on earth prior to launching space modules. In these tests, explosive loads are often replaced by alternative excitation methods such as hammer pendulums or shakers simulating on earth the impact taking place in space. However, there does not yet exist an adequate excitation method satisfying all requirements of a fast, reliable, predictable and repeatable test setup. Whereas hammers are poorely controllable in terms of generating desired shock spectra, shakers show limitations in terms of the bandwidths of up to 10 kHz which are prescribed in the test specifications. The authors present a novel contactless and non-destructive excitation method for pyroshock test devices based on a mechatronic coupling by applying Lorentz forces to the carrying structure. For generating the corresponding magnetic field, the capacitor of a Resistor-Inductor-Capacitor RLC resonator circuit is initially charged and then discharged leading to high currents in the coil which is placed close to the carrying structure. Latter is then inducing a counter current in the aluminum structure which reacts with high multidirectional Lorentz forces. Any adjustments are done by tuning the properties of the circuit such as initial charge, capacitance and inductance. By connecting several different coils, frequency modulation and by splitting the currents more complex signals can be generated matching the natural frequencies of the structure. Almost all disadvantages of common excitation methods are eliminated by the proposed mechanism.

description: This study aims to investigate the role of intellectual curiosity and interest in predicting information seeking and knowledge attainment in a hypertext learning task. We will rely on data from a laboratory study where participants were instructed to read a hypertext on the political history of the Panama Canal, including a number of hyperlinks providing further information. Personal interest in this topic and dispositional intellectual curiosity were assessed prior to reading the text using self-report questionnaires. After reading the text, the participants completed a knowledge test to assess how much they learned about the subject while working with the hypertext. To comprehensively capture information seeking, we will employ a person-centered approach allowing us to identify distinct individual configurations of information-seeking indicators (number of unique clicks on links, number of links revisited at least once, overall time spent on links, average time spent on different links, time spent reading the main text). In addition, we seek to examine whether the interaction between high dispositional curiosity and personal interest in the study subject energizes broader information seeking and benefits learning. In explorative analyses, we will furthermore test whether intellectual curiosity and interest manifest in specific visual attentional processes during reading as reflected in eye-movement patterns and physiological eye parameters.
Modelling time evolving interactions in networks through a non stationary extension of stochastic block models

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (stat.ML)

description: In this paper, we focus on the stochastic block model (SBM),a probabilistic tool describing interactions between nodes of a network using latent clusters. The SBM assumes that the networkhas a stationary structure, in which connections of time varying intensity are not taken into account. In other words, interactions between two groups are forced to have the same features during the whole observation time. To overcome this limitation,we propose a partition of the whole time horizon, in which interactions are observed, and develop a non stationary extension of the SBM,allowing to simultaneously cluster the nodes in a network along with fixed time intervals in which the interactions take place. The number of clusters (K for nodes, D for time intervals) as well as the class memberships are finallyobtained through maximizing the complete-data integrated likelihood by means of a greedy search approach. After showing that the model works properly with simulated data, we focus on a real data set. We thus consider the three days ACM Hypertext conference held in Turin,June 29th - July 1st 2009. Proximity interactions between attendees during the first day are modelled and an interestingclustering of the daily hours is finally obtained, with times of social gathering (e.g. coffee breaks) recovered by the approach. Applications to large networks are limited due to the computational complexity of the greedy search which is dominated bythe number $K\_{max}$ and $D\_{max}$ of clusters used in the initialization. Therefore,advanced clustering tools are considered to reduce the number of clusters expected in the data, making the greedy search applicable to large networks.

description: This paper presents a strategy to guide a mobile ground robot equipped with a camera or depth sensor, in order to autonomously map the visible part of a bounded three-dimensional structure. We describe motion planning algorithms that determine appropriate successive viewpoints and attempt to fill holes automatically in a point cloud produced by the sensing and perception layer. The emphasis is on accurately reconstructing a 3D model of a structure of moderate size rather than mapping large open environments, with applications for example in architecture, construction and inspection. The proposed algorithms do not require any initialization in the form of a mesh model or a bounding box, and the paths generated are well adapted to situations where the vision sensor is used simultaneously for mapping and for localizing the robot, in the absence of additional absolute positioning system. We analyze the coverage properties of our policy, and compare its performance to the classic frontier based exploration algorithm. We illustrate its efficacy for different structure sizes, levels of localization accuracy and range of the depth sensor, and validate our design on a real-world experiment.

description: Atomically uniform Sb(111) films are fabricated by the method of molecular beam epitaxy on an optimized Si(111) surface. Two dimensional quantum well states and topological surface states in these films are well resolved as measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We observe an evolution of direct transition resonances by varying the excitation photon energy (and thus the perpendicular crystal momentum). The experimental results are reproduced in a comprehensive model calculation taking into account first-principles calculated initial states and time-reversed low-energy-electron-diffraction final states in the photoexcitation process. The resonant behavior illustrates that the topological surface states and the quantum well states are analytically connected in momentum space in all three dimensions.

A Microscale Investigation of Naphthalene Dissolution and Biodegradation
Creators: name: Sullivan, Michelle A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Biodegradation of PAHs by soil microbes is often hindered because the compounds are not always available to the microorganisms responsible for metabolism. Light microscopy, with digital photography and image analysis, was used to observed naphthalene dissolution. A small scale flow cell containing a naphthalene crystal was viewed at 100x magnification. Abiotic, biotic, and azide-inhibited systems were examined in this experimental system. Changes in the crystal's mass were determined from image analysis, and changes in the aqueous naphthalene's mass were determined with a fluorescence detector. Naphthalene's mass decreased approximately 6 x 10-3 mg/hr, 1.5 x 10-3 mg/hr, and 1.0 x 10-3 mg/hr for abiotic, biotic, and azide-inhibited experiments, respectively. Cellular material around the crystal caused slower dissolution rates for the biotic and azide-inhibited experiments. There was no evidence that bacterial metabolism was occurring in the system. A model was developed which underestimated the dissolution rate by approximately one order of magnitude.

description: Let $ϕ$ be a post-critically finite branched covering of a two-sphere. By work of Koch, the Thurston pullback map induced by $ϕ$ on Teichmüller space descends to a multi-valued self-map --- a Hurwitz correspondence $\mathcal{H}_ϕ$ --- of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{0,P}$. We study the dynamics of Hurwitz correspondences via numerical invariants called dynamical degrees. We show that the sequence of dynamical degrees of $\mathcal{H}_ϕ$ is always non-increasing, and the behavior of this sequence is constrained by the behavior of $ϕ$ at and near points of its post-critical set.

description: Even though ion/atom-collision is a mature field of atomic physics great discrepancies between experiment and theoretical calculations are still common. Here we present experimental results with highest momentum resolution on single ionization of helium induced by 1\,MeV protons and compare these to different theoretical calculations. The overall agreement is strikingly good and already the first Born approximation yields good agreement between theory and experiment. This has been expected since several decades, but so far has not been accomplished. The influence of projectile coherence effects on the measured data is shortly discussed in line with an ongoing dispute on the existence of nodal structures in the electron angular emission distributions.

Early Social Communication Behaviors and Their Relationship with Later Social Orienting and Joint Attention Behaviors in Young Children with Autism
Creators: name: Plummer, Amanda L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Infants and toddlers with autism exhibit early social communication deficits, specifically in the exhibition of social orienting and joint attention. The current study examined the social communication behaviors in children at age three who had been identified previously as either at-risk for autism or who were typically developing. The parents of all the children completed the First Year Inventory (FYI), which is designed to screen infants from the general population for risk of autism. A sample of these infants were given follow-up measures at age three and were evaluated using a coding system quantifying the social communication behaviors children exhibited during the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) evaluation. The relationship between early social communication behaviors reported by parents at 12-months, and later manifestations of these behaviors at age three were examined. Although results did not suggest a relationship between the two time points, limitations of the current study, as well as future steps, are discussed.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: TEI/XML, Research Software, Digital Humanities

description: QTEI is based on two core components: web browser and JavaScript. The web browser, as one of the most comprehensive software packages for handling XML, is widely used and easy to maintain by end users. And JS is often part of the solution for rendering TEI/XML anyway, so with QTEI we created a framework that can fully implement a TEI web presence with these technologies.

description: A core premise of attachment theory is that the quality of early care shapes the development and consolidation of later constructed mental representations, which in turn influence mental health (Bowlby, 1973, 1980; Sroufe et al., 2005). Following this premise, this set of pre-registered analyses aims to build on a programmatic line of research (Dagan et al., 2018; Dagan et al., 2021) to investigate the predictive significance of attachment representations in general, and scripted attachment representations (i.e., secure base script knowledge) more specifically, on depressive symptoms in adulthood.
Distraction and the Provision of Risk and Benefit Information in Prescription Drug Television Advertising
Creators: name: Harlow, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of prescription drugs is one of the fastest growing and most controversial forms of consumer marketing. One criticism of DTC advertising is that it misleads consumers by providing them with benefit information while distracting them from information about drug risks. Despite this, there has been very little scholarly research about the prevalence of distracting elements during the presentation of risk and benefit information in DTC television advertising. This thesis was designed to fill this gap in literature and its purpose is two-fold. First, the thesis proposes a definition of distraction in television advertising, drawing from the capacity model of attention and the related conceptual frameworks of information load and information relevance. Second, it reports the results of a content analysis of 58 DTC television advertisements. Findings suggest that some forms of distraction are more prevalent during risk information than during claims about drug benefits. Given the pervasiveness of DTC advertising on television, this study has clear implications for consumers, public policy makers, health care providers, and pharmaceutical marketers.

description: Background: To access selected excited states of nuclei, within the framework of nuclear density functional theory, the quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) is commonly used. Purpose: We present a computationally efficient, fully self-consistent framework to compute the QRPA transition strength function of an arbitrary multipole operator in axially-deformed superfluid nuclei. Methods: The method is based on the finite amplitude method (FAM) QRPA, allowing fast iterative solution of QRPA equations. A numerical implementation of the FAM-QRPA solver module has been carried out for deformed nuclei. Results: The practical feasibility of the deformed FAM module has been demonstrated. In particular, we calculate the quadrupole and octupole strength in a heavy deformed nucleus $^{240}$Pu, without any truncations in the quasiparticle space. To demonstrate the capability to calculate individual QRPA modes, we also compute low-lying negative-parity collective states in $^{154}$Sm. Conclusions: The new FAM implementation enables calculations of the QRPA strength function throughout the nuclear landscape. This will facilitate global surveys of multipole modes and beta decays, and will open new avenues for constraining the nuclear energy density functional.

description: Feedback control of quantum mechanical systems is rapidly attracting attention not only due to fundamental questions about quantum measurements but also because of its novel applications in many fields in physics. Quantum control has been studied intensively in quantum optics but recently progress has been made in the control of solid-state qubits as well. In quantum transport only a few active and passive feedback experiments have been realized on the level of single-electrons, though theoretical proposals exist. Here we demonstrate the suppression of shot noise in a single-electron transistor, using an exclusively electronic closed-loop feedback to monitor and adjust the counting statistics. With increasing feedback response we observe a stronger suppression and faster freezing of charge current fluctuations. Our technique is analog to the generation of squeezed light with in-loop photodetection as used in quantum optics. Sub-Poisson single-electron sources will pave the way for high precision measurements in quantum transport similar to its optical or opto-mechanical equivalent.
