description: Video game research has dominated the cognitive psychology literature over the past 20 years, more specifically, the relationship video games have with cognitive skills (Bavelier & Green, 2019; Bediou, 2018). A wide range of cognitive skills have been examined from perceptual processing to motor skills (Powers & Brooks, 2014). Much of the research in the field of the cognitive benefits of video gaming focuses on the genre of action video games (Bediou, 2018; Green & Bavelier, 2003; Green, Li & Bavelier, 2010). The genre of action video games encompasses a wide range of games that may have differing effects on an individual’s cognitive skills. Because of this it is unknown as to which type of game, or elements of games, are related to positive cognitive outcomes. Focussing on a more specific genre such as first-person shooters (FPS), as opposed to action video games more generally, will narrow down the style of game that is being analysed resulting in a more fine-grained classification of genre likely providing more precise estimates of cognitive effects. This study shall therefore update Bediou’s (2018) meta-analysis of action video games with studies published since completion of their literature search in 2015, focussing exclusively on FPS games.

Always on my Mind: The Role of Automatic Thoughts in the Experience and Development of Passions
Creators: name: Rice, Elise
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Social psychology
subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: The present research explored how automatic thoughts about passions influence the ways in which people pursue them. Drawing from the dualistic model of passions and incentive-salience theory, I predicted that positive emotions experienced during an activity should facilitate positive automatic thoughts about that activity. Those thoughts should in turn facilitate wanting and build resources that increase the positive-emotion yield of subsequent behavior. Studies 1 and 2 revealed that people perceive more positive automatic thoughts about harmonious than obsessive passions. In Study 3, positive automatic thoughts mediated the effect of positive emotions on behavior. Studies 4 and 5 documented that positive automatic thoughts predict increases in harmonious passion over time and vice versa. Taken together, these findings characterize the role of automatic thoughts as they relate to the pursuit of passions in particular and desired outcomes in general.

description: Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive type of adult brain tumour with a need for new treatments. CD47 has been shown to be overexpressed on some human cancers and to interact with macrophages but its role in glioblastoma has not yet been fully explored. Here, we identify a novel role for the CD47/SIRPα interaction between glioblastoma and macrophages in that it can stimulate glioblastoma proliferation in co-cultures. Blocking either CD47 or SIRPα resulted in decreased glioblastoma proliferation. Furthermore, we show that macrophage stimulated glioblastoma proliferation is not occurring through downstream signalling of SIRPα but likely through CD47 to the PI3Kβ pathway. Initial results of co-cultures using glioblastoma cells which express CD47 that is GPI linked to the membrane, and therefore cannot signal downstream, support these findings. The implication of this research is the possibility to develop new therapies targeted at CD47 to decrease glioblastoma proliferation.
Multidimensional Washboard Ratchet Potentials for Frustrated Two-Dimensional Josephson-Junctions Arrays on square lattices

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this work, we derive an analytical procedure for obtaining a multidimensional washboard ratchet potential Uf for two-dimensional Josephson junctions array (TDJJA) with an applied magnetic field. The magnetic field is given in units of the quantum ux per plaquette or frustration of the form f = M N . The derivation is done under the assumption that the checkerboard pattern ground state or unit cell of a two-dimensional Josephson junctions array (TDJJA) is preserved under current bias. The RCSJ with a white noise term models the dynamics for each junction phase in the array. The multidimensional potential is the unique expression of the collective effects that emerge from the array in contrast to the single junction. First step in the procedure is to write the equation for the phases for the unit cell by considering the constraints imposed for the gauge invariant phases due to frustration. Secondly and key idea of the procedure, is to perform a variable transformation from the original systems of stochastic equations to a system of variables where the condition for the equality of mixed second partial is forced via the Poincaré's theorem for differentials forms. This leads to a nonlinear matrix equation (equation (9) in the text), where the new coordinates variables xf are evaluated and where the potential exist. The transform matrix also permits the correct transformation of the original white noise terms of each junction to the intensities in the xf variables. The commensurate symmetries of the ground state pinned vortex lattice, leads to discrete symmetries to the part of the washboard potential that does not contain a tilt due to the external bias current(equation(10) in the text). In this work we apply the procedure for the important cases f = 1 2 ; 1 3 .

Effect of Nickel Titanium Metallurgy and File Design on Torsional Failure, Cyclic Fatigue, and Flexibility
Creators: name: Brown, Thomas
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of NiTi metallurgy and file design on: torsional failure resistance, cyclic fatigue resistance, and flexibility. Vortex, Profile, and Mtwo files were each fabricated from superelastic NiTi, M-wire, and Blue Wire. 15 files from each group were used in the torsional failure test, 15 for cyclic fatigue testing, and 10 for flexibility. Results were analyzed to determine the effect of NiTi type on a given file design and file design on a specific type of NiTi. Factorial ANOVA analysis was used followed by a post-hoc test. File design alone had an effect on degrees of rotation to failure during torque testing (p<0.05) while both variables had an effect on all other outcomes (p<0.05). Blue Wire showed increased number of cycles until failure and greater flexibility for all designs. Mtwo had lower peak torque values at failure (p<0.0001) across all NiTi types.

description: We consider two variational models for transport networks, an urban planning and a branched transport model, in which the degree of network complexity and ramification is governed by a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$. Smaller $\varepsilon$ leads to finer ramification patterns, and we analyse how optimal network patterns in a particular geometry behave as $\varepsilon\to0$ by proving an energy scaling law. This entails providing constructions of near-optimal networks as well as proving that no other construction can do better. The motivation of this analysis is twofold. On the one hand, it provides a better understanding of the transport network models; for instance, it reveals qualitative differences in the ramification patterns of urban planning and branched transport. On the other hand, several examples of variational pattern analysis in the literature use an elegant technique based on relaxation and convex duality. Transport networks provide a relatively simple setting to explore variations and refinements of this technique, thereby increasing the scope of its applicability.

description: Religious fundamentalism (RF) has consistently predicted prejudice. RF was defined classically as an attitude towards belief in one inerrant source of religious truth. However, its conceptualization as an attitude confounds with another related attitude, right-wing authoritarianism. More so, classical RF assumes that restrictiveness in religion is based only on belief, which may not be true considering that religion has multiple psychological dimensions. In this dissertation, I propose to use the Dual Process Motivation model to theoretically explain how RF predicts prejudice. This dissertation reconceptualizes RF as a schema, which represents an endorsement of a relatively stable interpretation of reality. I also propose that there can be at least three forms of RF schemas that predict prejudice against different targets. I plan to conduct two simultaneous studies to demonstrate my hypotheses among Filipino Christian samples. In Study 1, I plan to measure all relevant variables and test through structural equation modeling whether RF schemas (i.e., One Religious Truth, One Moral Standard, One True Religion) predict social attitudes (i.e., RWA, SDO) that predict prejudice against three target groups (i.e., atheists, LGBT, other religionists). In the same model, I will test if social worldviews (i.e., Dangerous World, Competitive Jungle) predict RF schemas. In Study 2, I plan to test through an experiment whether induced threats will result in prejudice against target groups and if this reaction can be predicted by RF schemas. Overall, this dissertation will provide a culturally-nuanced and integrative theoretical explanation of how religion motivates prejudice.

description: The packing of hard spheres (HS) of diameter $σ$ in a cylinder has been used to model experimental systems, such as fullerenes in nanotubes and colloidal wire assembly. Finding the densest packings of HS under this type of confinement, however, grows increasingly complex with the cylinder diameter, $D$. Little is thus known about the densest achievable packings for $D>2.873σ$. In this work, we extend the identification of the packings up to $D=4.00σ$ by adapting Torquato-Jiao's adaptive-shrinking-cell formulation and sequential-linear-programming (SLP) technique. We identify 17 new structures, almost all of them chiral. Beyond $D\approx2.85σ$, most of the structures consist of an outer shell and an inner core that compete for being close packed. In some cases, the shell adopts its own maximum density configuration, and the stacking of core spheres within it is quasiperiodic. In other cases, an interplay between the two components is observed, which may result in simple periodic structures. In yet other cases, the very distinction between core and shell vanishes, resulting in more exotic packing geometries, including some that are three-dimensional extensions of structures obtained from packing hard disks in a circle.

description: The rise of new migratory routes in the world has represented a response to the unsuccessful strategies adopted by States in the field of people mobility. The Balkan route, in Eastern Europe, came out from the migration crisis in 2015 and continues until today. The main goal of this note is to provide a detailed literature about the policies adopted by the States to manage migration along Balkan countries. It is also the aim of this paper to demonstrate how policies have produced changes in the route, violating the fundamental human rights and not reducing the number of people trying to cross the borders to reach Europe but rather creating categories of marginalized people in marginalized places.

description: This thesis examines the role of an agrarian imaginary in the history of Tillery, North Carolina. Located just south of the Roanoke River in the northeastern reaches of the state, this place is home to long, complex, and interwoven histories of agricultural labor, landownership, and the struggle for racial equality. Using archival and ethnographic research, this thesis examines the role of the agrarian imaginary in the many histories of this one place. It argues that an agrarian ideal, established early in America's history, has been the basis for a social imaginary employed to various ends by people in the community of Tillery.

On Characterization of Feasible Interference Regions in Cognitive Radio Networks

description: In the state-of-the-art interference management schemes for underlay CRNs, it is considered that all PUs are protected if the cognitive interference for each primary receiving-point is lower than a maximum threshold, the so called interference temperature limit (ITL) for the corresponding receiving-point. This is assumed to be fixed and independent of ITL values for other primary receiving-points, which corresponds to a box-like FCIR. In this paper, we characterize the FCIR for {\em uplink} transmissions in cellular CRNs and for direct transmissions in ad-hoc CRNs. We show that the FCIR is in fact a polyhedron (i.e., the maximum feasible cognitive interference threshold for each primary receiving-point is not a constant, and it depends on that for the other primary receiving-points). Therefore, in practical interference management algorithms, it is not proper to consider a constant and independent ITL value for each of the primary receiving-points. This finding would significantly affect the design of practical interference management schemes for CRNs. To demonstrate this, based on the characterized FCIR, we propose two power control algorithms to find the maximum number of admitted SUs and the maximum aggregate throughput of the SUs in infeasible and feasible CRNs, respectively. For two distinct objectives, our proposed interference management schemes outperform the existing ones.

description: Public health authorities perform contact tracing for highly contagious agents to identify close contacts with the infected cases. However, during the pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), this operation was not employed in countries with high patient volumes. Meanwhile, the Japanese government conducted this operation, thereby contributing to the control of infections, at the cost of arduous manual labor by public health officials. To ease the burden of the officials, this study attempted to automate the assessment of each person's infection risk through an ontology, called COVID-19 Infection Risk Ontology (CIRO). This ontology expresses infection risks of COVID-19 formulated by the Japanese government, toward automated assessment of infection risks of individuals, using Resource Description Framework (RDF) and SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language) queries. For evaluation, we demonstrated that the knowledge graph built could infer the risks, formulated by the government. Moreover, we conducted reasoning experiments to analyze the computational efficiency. The experiments demonstrated usefulness of the knowledge processing, and identified issues left for deployment.

Search for long-lived charginos based on a disappearing-track signature in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2017

description: This paper presents a search for direct electroweak gaugino or gluino pair production with a chargino nearly mass-degenerate with a stable neutralino. It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.
Clinical Decision-Making and Pediatric Bipolar Disorder
Creators: name: Jenkins, Melissa M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Clinical decision-making in mental health could greatly benefit from evidence-based decision tools, particularly in diagnosing challenging, high-stakes conditions such as pediatric bipolar disorder. The current literature indicates that clinicians are prone to a host of cognitive biases that impede optimal diagnostic and treatment decisions. These biases are especially salient in the assessment of bipolar illness. Bipolar disorder is frequently misdiagnosed, and recent evidence suggests that mental health professionals often overdiagnose bipolar in youths. Although actuarial approaches have taken root in the medical community to assess the likelihood of various conditions, the mental health field has not widely disseminated or implemented such strategies. In fact, little research has attempted to validate the clinical utility of actuarial assessment methods. This study examines the effectiveness of an actuarial approach in diagnosing pediatric bipolar disorder by comparing Bayesian estimates (i.e., actuarial approach) to the current gold standard in clinical assessment.

Characterizing and Utilizing a Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer (CIMS) as a Method to Estimate Secondary Organic Aerosol Yields from Isoprene-Derived Epoxides
Creators: name: Marth, Wendy Jane
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Isoprene is the most abundant non-methane hydrocarbon emitted into Earth's atmosphere and although recognized as the single largest source of global secondary organic aerosol (SOA), the exact manner in which isoprene-derived SOA is formed remains unclear. Recently, epoxides produced from isoprene oxidation have been shown to be critical in SOA formation. In this work an acetate chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS) was characterized and utilized to measure SOA yields from two proposed isoprene-derived epoxides, isoprene epoxydiol (IEPOX) and methacrylic acid epoxide (MAE), under varying particle acidities. The resulting SOA yield and CIMS characterization showed the kinetics associated with MAE uptake is likely slower then IEPOX, but results for IEPOX were promising. This work also resulted in a much better understanding of the acetate CIMS operation and showcased its ability to measure these epoxides in real time.

description: Spatially resolved kinematics have been used to determine the dynamical status of star-forming galaxies with ambiguous morphologies, and constrain the importance of galaxy interactions during the assembly of galaxies. However, measuring the importance of interactions or galaxy merger rates requires knowledge of the systematics in kinematic diagnostics and the visible time with merger indicators. We analyze the dynamics of star-forming gas in a set of binary merger hydrodynamic simulations with stellar mass ratios of 1:1 and 1:4. We find that the evolution of kinematic asymmetries traced by star-forming gas mirrors morphological asymmetries derived from mock optical images, in which both merger indicators show the largest deviation from isolated disks during strong interaction phases. Based on a series of simulations with various initial disk orientations, orbital parameters, gas fractions, and mass ratios, we find that the merger signatures are visible for ~0.2-0.4 Gyr with kinematic merger indicators but can be approximately twice as long for equal-mass mergers of massive gas-rich disk galaxies designed to be analogs of z~2-3 submillimeter galaxies. Merger signatures are most apparent after the second passage and before the black holes coalescence, but in some cases they persist up to several hundred Myr after coalescence. About 20-60% of the simulated galaxies are not identified as mergers during the strong interaction phase, implying that galaxies undergoing violent merging process do not necessarily exhibit highly asymmetric kinematics in their star-forming gas. The lack of identifiable merger signatures in this population can lead to an underestimation of merger abundances in star-forming galaxies, and including them in samples of star-forming disks may bias the measurements of disk properties such as intrinsic velocity dispersion.

description: Optomechanical systems explore and exploit the coupling between light and the mechanical motion of matter. A nonlinear coupling offers access to rich new physics, in both the quantum and classical regimes. We investigate a dynamic, as opposed to the usually studied static, nonlinear optomechanical system, comprising of a nanosphere levitated and cooled in a hybrid electro-optical trap. An optical cavity offers readout of both linear-in-position and quadratic-in-position (nonlinear) light-matter coupling, whilst simultaneously cooling the nanosphere to millikelvin temperatures for indefinite periods of time in high vacuum. We observe cooling of the linear and non-linear motion, leading to a $10^5$ fold reduction in phonon number $n_p$, attaining final occupancies of $n_p = 100-1000$. This work puts cavity cooling of a levitated object to the quantum ground-state firmly within reach.

description: Global Positioning System (GPS) dissemination of frequency standards is ubiquitous at present, providing the most widespread time and frequency reference for the majority of industrial and research applications worldwide. On the other hand, the ultimate limits of the GPS presently curb further advances in high-precision, scientific and industrial applications relying on this dissemination scheme. Here, we demonstrate that these limits can be reliably overcome even in laboratories without a local atomic clock by replacing the GPS with a 642-km-long optical fiber link to a remote primary caesium frequency standard. Through this configuration we stably address the $^1$S$_0$---$^3$P$_0$ clock transition in an ultracold gas of $^{173}$Yb, with a precision that exceeds the possibilities of a GPS-based measurement, dismissing the need for a local clock infrastructure to perform high-precision tasks beyond GPS limit. We also report an improvement of two orders of magnitude in the accuracy on the transition frequency reported in literature.
The struggle for survival of independent newspapers and the role of new media during the 2006 Belarus presidential elections
Creators: name: Khrapavitski, Andrei

description: The 2006 Presidential race was a watershed for the Belarusian independent press because the government embarked on cleansing the independent print journalism that had emerged in 1991, when the country became independent from the Soviet Union. The election was also marked by the transition of some independent newspapers from print to online and the vibrant development of citizen journalism in the Belarusian cyberspace. Based on a case study approach, this Master’s thesis explores the demise of the traditional press and the emergence of new alternative sources of information that tried to substitute for the silenced traditional media in Belarus during the period of the 2006 Presidential Election campaign, from October 2005 to March 25, 2006.

description: Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is an interesting and promising approach to testing human abilities. In our research we use Bayesian networks to create a model of tested humans. We collected data from paper tests performed with grammar school students. In this article we first provide the summary of data used for our experiments. We propose several different Bayesian networks, which we tested and compared by cross-validation. Interesting results were obtained and are discussed in the paper. The analysis has brought a clearer view on the model selection problem. Future research is outlined in the concluding part of the paper.

I'm Every Woman? How Identities Influence Conceptions of Women's Issues

description: In this paper, I argue that political elites intend the popular women’s issue label to serve as an issue frame. I evaluate how individuals, especially women, respond to this frame. I offer an original theoretical framework about how identities, specifically partisan and gender identities, influence conceptions of women’s issues, as the potentially distinct definitions of women’s issues between Democratic and Republican individuals may serve as the cause for their disparate responses to the women’s issue frame. To test my theory, I use a nationally representative public opinion survey that contains questions about individuals’ identities and their understanding of women’s issues. In this analysis, I find that Republicans and Democrats identify distinct sets of issues as women’s issues. I also find that women and Democrats possess a more developed understanding of women’s issues than men and Republicans, respectively. These findings suggest that identities limit the success of the women’s issue frame.
