description: We present two Secure Two Party Computation (STPC) protocols for piecewise function approximation on private data. The protocols rely on a piecewise approximation of the to-be-computed function easing the implementation in a STPC setting. The first protocol relies entirely on Garbled Circuit (GC) theory, while the second one exploits a hybrid construction where GC and Homomorphic Encryption (HE) are used together. In addition to piecewise constant and linear approximation, polynomial interpolation is also considered. From a communication complexity perspective, the full-GC implementation is preferable when the input and output variables can be represented with a small number of bits, while the hybrid solution is preferable otherwise. With regard to computational complexity, the full-GC solution is generally more convenient.

description: Malaysia and Indonesia, located in the Southeast Asia region, have experienced severe pollution due to haze especially during drought seasons ever since 1980. Among the causes of this series of hazes affecting the region is mostly the industrial scale illegal of slash and burn practices, principally practised in Sumatera and Kalimantan. The main objective of this study is to investigate the carbon monoxide (CO) distribution over Malaysia and Indonesia, within the period from January 1980 to December 2018. This study utilizes MERRA-2 dataset provided by GIOVANNI interface. The monthly CO concentrations fluctuates highly, with the highest measurement observed during the drought season (June to October), meanwhile, the lowest observed are within the rainy season (November to March). The result of this study also shows that Kuala Lumpur, Riau, Palembang and West Kalimantan are the worst affected by CO pollution, especially during forest fires. During normal conditions, the CO value is below 200 parts per billion volume (ppbv). However, the CO concentration peaked as high as 15,208 ppbv during forest fire over Palembang in October 1997. The increment of CO concentration over this area is mostly due to the fire forests that commonly occurs during the drought season. Keywords –Forest fire, carbon monoxide, MERRA-2, GIOVANNI 4.
To Move or Not to Move: Trends in Rental Affordability in the San Francisco Bay Area from 2012 to 2019
Creators: name: Meiyi Long
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description:  Unaffordable housing may cause long commute times and displacement. However, little literature about Bay Area addresses how rental affordability changes through time. Our paper uses a unique methodology to test affordability and find a mismatch between what is happening and what should have happened. We also find that the affordability issue influences the low-income group more than the middle- and high-income group. Another interesting finding is that while rent is increasing rapidly, median household income in bay area is also increasing and even surpass the increase speed of rent, which makes the rental housing seems more affordable. However, this trend can be due to gentrification, where people flow into the bay area with high-paying job offers while people who have low income flow out. In addition, commute time in Bay Area is constantly increasing. If we check the percentage of people moving out of the Bay Area to other parts of California, from 2012 to 2019, the percentage of people leaving the Bay Area has increased. For those who did leave the bay area, the logistic regression model shows that lower-income groups tend to leave, and people in areas with higher rents tend to leave.

description: The Coronavirus pandemic brought about a recession unlike any of its predecessors. With shuttered schools, travel bans, and stay-at-home orders across the globe, the economic effects of this virus have been broad and far-reaching. This thesis investigates the disparate economic effects of COVID-19 on men and women in Colombia by examining differences in labor market outcomes. We focus primarily on parents of younger children, utilizing a difference in difference model and Heckman correction to evaluate the effects of the pandemic on women's self-reported hours worked in the last week, labor force participation, and hourly wages relative to their male counterparts. Across genders, we observe reductions in wages, working hours, and labor force participation during the 2020 survey period. Further, we find that of parents who remained in the labor force, women experienced smaller reductions in working hours and wages; however, mothers were up to twice as likely to exit the labor force altogether. These findings have concerning implications for the effects of the pandemic on economic equality for women.
Phonon interference in the array of carbon nanotubes

description: The dynamics of the one-dimensional array of the single-walled carbon nanotubes, which interact by van der Waals forces, is considered. The molecular dynamics simulation shows that both the mutual displacements of the nanotubes and the deformations of their walls occur in the low-frequency oscillations domain. The composite model taking into account both types of the nanotubes' motions was developed in the framework of the thin elastic shell theory. Such an approach allows us to reduce the problem to the dynamics of the two-parametric linear lattice with contact interaction. The dispersion relations are represented analytically and the multi-channel propagation that results to phonon interference (the acoustical analogue of the Fano resonance) is observed in the presence of the array's irregularities. The latter can be formed with redundant nanotubes, which are placed over the array in the groove between neighbour sites. The calculations of the transmittance have been performed by the transfer matrix method for several typical configurations.

description: An accurate knowledge of the per-unit length impedance of power cables is necessary to correctly predict electromagnetic transients in power systems. In particular, skin, proximity, and ground return effects must be properly estimated. In many applications, the medium that surrounds the cable is not uniform and can consist of multiple layers of different conductivity, such as dry and wet soil, water, or air. We introduce a multilayer ground model for the recently-proposed MoM-SO method, suitable to accurately predict ground return effects in such scenarios. The proposed technique precisely accounts for skin, proximity, ground and tunnel effects, and is applicable to a variety of cable configurations, including underground and submarine cables. Numerical results show that the proposed method is more accurate than analytic formulas typically employed for transient analyses, and delivers an accuracy comparable to the finite element method (FEM). With respect to FEM, however, MoM-SO is over 1000 times faster, and can calculate the impedance of a submarine cable inside a three-layer medium in 0.10~s per frequency point.

description: We demonstrate for the first time a four-node trusted-node-free metro network configuration with dynamic discrete-variable quantum key distribution DV-QKD networking capabilities across four optical network nodes. The network allows the dynamic deployment of any QKD link between two nodes of the network, while a QKD-aware centralised software-defined networking (SDN) controller is utilised to provide dynamicity in switching and rerouting. The feasibility of coexisting a quantum channel with carrier-grade classical optical channels where both the quantum and classical channels are in the C-band over field-deployed metropolitan networks and laboratory-based fibres (<10km) is experimentally explored in terms of achievable quantum bit error rate, secret key rate as well as classical signal bit error rate. Moreover, coexistence analysis over multi-hops configuration using different switching scenarios is also presented. The secret key rate dropped 43% when coexisting one classical channel with 150 GHz spacing from the quantum channel for multiple links. This is due to the noise leakage from the Raman scattering into the 100 GHz bandwidth of the internal filter of the Bob DV-QKD unit. When coexisting four classical channels with 150 GHz spacing between the quantum and the nearest classical channel, the quantum channel deteriorates faster due to the combination of Raman noise, other nonlinearities and high aggregated launch power causing the QBER value to exceed the threshold of 6% leading the SKR to reach a value of zero bps at a launch power of 7 dB per channel. Furthermore, the coexistence of a quantum channel and six classical channels through a field-deployed fibre test network is examined.

description: The parallel momentum distribution (PMD) of the residual nuclei of the 14O(p,pn)13O and 14O(p,2p)13N reactions at 100 and 200 MeV/nucleon in inverse kinematics is investigated with the framework of the distorted wave impulse approximation. The PMD shows an asymmetric shape characterized by a steep fall-off on the high momentum side and a long-ranged tail on the low momentum side. The former is found to be due to the phase volume effect reflecting the energy and momentum conservation, and the latter is to the momentum shift of the outgoing two nucleons inside an attractive potential caused by the residual nucleus. Dependence of these effects on the nucleon separation energy of the projectile and the incident energy is also discussed.

Calculation of $K \to ππ$ decay amplitudes with improved Wilson fermion action in lattice QCD

description: We present our result for the $K\toππ$ decay amplitudes for both the $ΔI=1/2$ and $3/2$ processes with the improved Wilson fermion action. Expanding on the earlier works by Bernard {\it et al.} and by Donini {\it et al.}, we show that mixings with four-fermion operators with wrong chirality are absent even for the Wilson fermion action for the parity odd process in both channels due to CPS symmetry. Therefore, after subtraction of an effect from the lower dimensional operator, a calculation of the decay amplitudes is possible without complications from operators with wrong chirality, as for the case with chirally symmetric lattice actions. As a first step to verify the possibility of calculations with the Wilson fermion action, we consider the decay amplitudes at an unphysical quark mass $m_K \sim 2 m_π$. Our calculations are carried out with $N_f=2+1$ gauge configurations generated with the Iwasaki gauge action and nonperturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson fermion action at $a=0.091\,{\rm fm}$, $m_π=280\,{\rm MeV}$, and $m_K=580\,{\rm MeV}$ on a $32^3\times 64$ ($La=2.9\,{\rm fm}$) lattice. For the quark loops in the penguin and disconnected contributions in the $I=0$ channel, the combined hopping parameter expansion and truncated solver method work very well for variance reduction. We obtain, for the first time with a Wilson-type fermion action, that ${\rm Re}A_0 = 60(36) \times10^{ -8}\,{\rm GeV}$ and ${\rm Im}A_0 =-67(56) \times10^{-12}\,{\rm GeV}$ for a matching scale $q^* =1/a$. The dependence on the matching scale $q^*$ for these values is weak.

description: We check how the Fermi/LAT data constrain physics of hot accretion flows, most likely present in low-luminosity AGNs. Using a precise model of emission from hot flows, we examine the dependence of their gamma-ray emission, resulting from proton-proton interactions, on accretion rate, black hole spin, magnetic field strength, electron heating efficiency and particle distribution. Then, we compare the hadronic gamma-ray luminosities predicted by the model for several nearby Seyfert 1 galaxies with the results of our analysis of 6.4 years of the Fermi/LAT observations of these AGNs. In agreement with previous studies, we find a significant gamma-ray detection in NGC 6814 and we could only derive upper limits for the remaining objects, although we note marginally significant (~3 sigma) signals at the positions of NGC 4151 and NGC 4258. The derived upper limits for the flux above 1 GeV allow us to constrain the proton acceleration efficiency in flows with heating of electrons dominated by Coulomb interactions, which case is favored by X-ray spectral properties. In such flows, at most ~10% of the accretion power can be used for a relativistic acceleration of protons. Upper limits for the flux below 1 GeV can constrain the magnetic field strength and black hole spin value, we find such constraints for NGC 7213 and NGC 4151. We also note that the spectral component above ~4 GeV found in the Fermi/LAT data of Centaurus A by Sahakyan et al. may be due to hadronic emission from a flow within the above constraint. We rule out such an origin of the gamma-ray emission from NGC 6814. Finally, we note that the three Seyfert 2/starburst galaxies, NGC 4595, NGC 1068 and Circinus, show an interesting correlation of their gamma-ray luminosities with properties of their active nuclei, and we discuss it in the context of the hot flow model.

The Basolateral Polarity Module Promotes Slit Diaphragm Formation in Drosophila Nephrocytes: A Model of Vertebrate Podocytes
Creators: name: Mysh, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Kidney filtration of the blood requires specialized cells known as podocytes. Podocyte slit diaphragms (SDs) are intercellular junctions that contribute to size-selective filtration, which excludes larger proteins from the urine. Abnormalities in SDs cause proteinuria and nephrotic syndrome, which refer to the excessive excretion of proteins through urine due to renal defects. Podocytes have been shown to exhibit apicobasal polarity, which can affect fundamental aspects of cell biology, including intercellular junction formation. Indeed, in humans and rodent models, mutations in genes encoding apical polarity proteins cause defects in SD formation and nephrotic syndrome. While previous research suggests key roles for apicobasal polarity in podocytes, there is no evidence that basolateral polarity proteins contribute to SDs. In fact, studies of basolateral polarity proteins in mouse podocytes revealed no obvious functional role, however we speculate this may be due to genetic redundancy in vertebrates. Thus, the role of apicobasal polarity in podocytes remains unclear.

To explore the potential role of basolateral polarity proteins in SD formation, we examined the consequences of disrupting basolateral polarity proteins in Drosophila nephrocytes, which possess SDs remarkably similar in molecular composition and function as those in mammalian podocytes. Using confocal and electron microscopy we characterized SD integrity following loss of basolateral polarity proteins. Our study identified the basolateral polarity proteins Dlg, Scrib, Lgl, and Par-1 as novel regulators of nephrocyte SDs. Loss of basolateral polarity proteins also compromised the central function of nephrocytes—filtration of the fly hemolymph. We also performed genetic interaction studies, which suggest the basolateral polarity proteins work together, in concert with apical polarity proteins, to regulate SDs by promoting normal endocytosis and trafficking of SD proteins.

Given the recognized importance of apical polarity proteins and SD protein trafficking in podocytopathies, our findings connecting basolateral polarity proteins to these processes significantly advance our understanding of podocyte biology.

description: Three-level atomic systems coupled to light have the capacity to host dark states. We study a system of V-shaped three-level atoms coherently coupled to the two quadratures of a dissipative cavity. The interplay between the atomic level structure and dissipation makes the phase diagram of the open system drastically different from the closed one. In particular, it leads to the stabilization of a continuous family of dark and nearly dark excited many-body states with inverted atomic populations as the steady states. The multistability of these states can be probed via their distinct fluctuations and excitation spectra, as well as the system's Liouvillian dynamics which are highly sensitive to ramp protocols. Our model can be implemented experimentally by encoding the two higher-energy modes in orthogonal density-modulated states in a bosonic quantum gas. This implementation offers prospects for potential applications like the realization of quantum optical random walks and microscopy with subwavelength spatial resolution.

Instability of insulating states in optical lattices due to collective phonon excitations

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: The role of collective phonon excitations on the properties of cold atoms in optical lattices is investigated. These phonon excitations are collective excitations, whose appearance is caused by intersite atomic interactions correlating the atoms, and they do not arise without such interactions. These collective excitations should not be confused with lattice vibrations produced by an external force. No such a force is assumed. But the considered phonons are purely self-organized collective excitations, characterizing atomic oscillations around lattice sites, due to intersite atomic interactions. It is shown that these excitations can essentially influence the possibility of atoms to be localized. The states that would be insulating in the absence of phonon excitations can become delocalized when these excitations are taken into account. This concerns long-range as well as local atomic interactions. To characterize the region of stability, the Lindemann criterion is used.

Entropic Lattice Boltzmann Method
Creators: name: Yu, Keming
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Lattice Boltzmann methods are kinetic descriptions of fluid flow that are efficiently implemented through a stream and collide approach. The collision operation is typically an approximation of the microscopic physics, with the BGK linear approximation a widely used choice. It has a wide range of application in computational fluid dynamics. 

The honor thesis starts with an introduction to the kinetic theory of gas. First, we introduce the Liouville Equation that describes the evolution of particle distribution function of a system in phase space. With an analysis of the Liouville Equation, BBGKY hierarchy is introduced for the reduced distribution evolution. Using the Bogoliubov Hypothesis, we are able to close the hierarchy equation and derive the Boltzmann's Equation for kinetic theory of gas. An analysis of Boltzmann's Equation is presented, with the center of analysis being the Chapman-Enskog analysis that reproduces the Navier-Stokes Equation in its expansion. 

Then, the Lattice Boltzmann Method is introduced by describing collision and streaming steps. The formulation of Lattice Boltzmann Method is centered around discretizing the velocity space by using Gauss-Hermite Quadrature that gives a truncated version of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. Under this truncation, Lattice Boltzmann Method becomes essentially a forward Euler scheme with BGK operator under a simplification of collision physics that is described by a limited direction of possible microscopic velocities. 


The BGK relaxation approximation however suffers from known deficiencies leading to instability at high Reynolds numbers that are the result of not satisfying a microscopic H-theorem. Entropic lattice methods seek an alternative relaxation procedure that is guaranteed to be unconditionally stable. They however typically are computationally expensive requiring solution of a nonlinear equation at each lattice site and each time step. This honor thesis further introduces the possibility of an alternative relaxation approach based upon geodesic transport on a statistical manifold within the overall framework of information geometry.

description: This paper is a summary of literature reviews concerning the diversity of medicinal plants and the results of our many years studies. It includes scientific and practical justifications of the importance of monitoring species diversity of the studied object. Results of monitoring the species composition of wild medicinal plants in some areas of the southern slope of the Gissar Range are specified. As a result of studying 11 gorges (Gazhne, Safedchashma, Gusgarf, Shamal, Obi-Zugora, Gulobod, Yos, Yavroz, Semiganch, Odzhuk, Magov), 174 species of medicinal plants were found that belong to different botanical taxa. This number of plants includes representatives of 106 genera belonging to 46 families, among which representatives of the aster family predominate: Asteraceae (36 species), Rosaceae (19 species), Lamiaceae (16 species), etc. Compared with the number of known plants growing within the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan, the number of species found was 11.6%. In relation to the number of plants that are recognized as medicinal in the world, species diversity of the southern slopes of Gissar Range is less than one percent. However, the number of species is comparable to locations with similar climatic conditions.

description: Topological insulators and topological superconductors display various topological phases that are characterized by different Chern numbers or by gapless edge states. In this work we show that various quantum information methods such as the von Neumann entropy, entanglement spectrum, fidelity, and fidelity spectrum may be used to detect and distinguish topological phases and their transitions. As an example we consider a two-dimensional $p$-wave superconductor, with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and a Zeeman term. The nature of the phases and their changes are clarified by the eigenvectors of the $k$-space reduced density matrix. We show that in the topologically nontrivial phases the highest weight eigenvector is fully aligned with the triplet pairing state. A signature of the various phase transitions between two points on the parameter space is encoded in the $k$-space fidelity operator.

description: In this short note, we present some evidence towards the existence of an algebra of BPS $G_2$ instantons. These are instantonic configurations that govern the partition functions of 7d SYM theories on local $G_2$ holonomy manifolds $\mathcal X$. To shed light on such structure, we begin investigating the relation with parent 4d $\mathcal N=1$ theories obtained by geometric engineering M-theory on $\mathcal X$. The main point of this paper is to substantiate the following dream: the holomorphic sector of such theories on multi-centered Taub-NUT spaces gives rise to an algebra whose characters organise the $G_2$ instanton partition function. As a first step towards this program, we argue by string duality that a multitude of geometries $\mathcal X$ exist that are dual to well-known 4d SCFTs arising from D3 branes probes of CY cones: all these models are amenable to analysis along the lines suggested by Dijkgraaf, Gukov, Neitzke and Vafa in the context of topological M-theory. Moreover, we discuss an interesting relation to Costello's twisted M-theory, which arises at local patches, and is a key ingredient in identifying the relevant algebras.

description: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) disease affects about 15,000 people each year.4  However, the cellular mechanism of TAA disease is not known,5 resulting in there being a high demand for research on the condition. The Akerman and Ikonomidis laboratory has demonstrated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to be large players in the disease mechanism.12 As furin has been found to modulate MMP levels, this protein subsequently plays a role in TAA progression.14 However, an effective means for localized transfection of vectors for these proteins into tissues has not been established.8,9 I hypothesize that we can overexpress furin in the murine thoracic aorta through electroporation. An overexpression vector for furin was generated and confirmed by transforming the vector into E. coli, purifying the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and running it on an ethidium bromide gel, followed by final confirmation via sequencing. Direct electroporation of the murine thoracic aorta was performed. Electrical conditions comprised of 8 square-wave pulses for 10 ms each, at 200 V. These data provide significant steps towards TAA research, as there is currently very little understanding of the molecular mechanism behind TAA development;5 by contributing to this research, we are one step closer to defining a noninvasive treatment for the disease.

title: Displacement in Iraq after 2003: coerced decisions in a time of crisis
Creators: name: Ali, Ali
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2012

description: This is a refugee-centred study of the decision making process of Iraqis displaced after the
Anglo-American invasion of Iraq in 2003. It investigates the pressures and influences that
affected their decisions as well as who was involved and consulted. In doing so it sheds light
on the under-theorised issue of what it means to be forced into a migration decision. The
meaning of coercion is examined and applied to a forced migration context, considering the
dynamics of cumulative causation in the process. The study also attempts to advance
understandings of the relationship between state-formation and displacement. Narratives of
Iraqis forced to migrate to Syria after 2003 were collected between June 2010 and April 2011
and form the primary data in this study. Narrative methods were used to elicit extended
testimonies from Iraqis in Syria in order to explore conceptual issues.
The research demonstrates the complex nature of forced migration and how displacement can
be experienced as a process. Transformations of state which occurred in Iraq after the 2003
invasion led to purges which affected numerous groups perceived to belong to the old order.
Iraqis who were perceived to be associated - rightly or wrongly - with the former regime
experienced pressures and threats which resulted in some of them becoming migrants. The
same transformations also manifested themselves as coercive alterations of spaces in Iraqis'
daily lives. In a climate of generalised violence and insecurity, an array of threats and
pressures, including those resulting from the dynamics of cumulative causation, combined to
form what the author calls a coercive landscape: a social world in which choices are
diminished and life is heavily constrained by a multiplicity of threats – and which is likely to
induce mass displacement. Although grounded in a specifically Iraqi context, it may be useful
for scholars to test this concept in other contexts of mass displacement.

description: The very high energy Galactic $γ$-ray sky is partially opaque in the ($0.1-10$) PeV energy range. In the light of the recently detected high energy neutrino flux by IceCube, a comparable very high energy $γ$-ray flux is expected in any scenario with a sizable Galactic contribution to the neutrino flux. Here we elaborate on the peculiar energy and anisotropy features imposed upon these very high energy $γ$-rays by the absorption on the cosmic microwave background photons and Galactic interstellar light. As a notable application of our considerations, we study the prospects of probing the PeV-scale decaying DM scenario, proposed as a possible source of IceCube neutrinos, by extensive air shower (EAS) cosmic ray experiments. In particular, we show that anisotropy measurements at EAS experiments are already sensitive to $τ_{\rm DM}\sim {\cal O}(10^{27})$~s and future measurements, using better gamma/hadron separation, can improve the limit significantly.

description: We study the entanglement wedge cross-section (EWCS) in holographic Aether gravity theory, a gravity theory with Lorentz symmetry violation while keeping the general covariance intact. We find that only a limited parameter space is allowed to obtain a black brane with positive Hawking temperature. Subject to these allowed parameter regions, we find that the EWCS could exhibit non-monotonic behaviors with system parameters. Meanwhile, the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE), and the corresponding mutual information (MI), can only exhibit monotonic behaviors. These phenomena suggest that the EWCS could capture much more rich content of the entanglement than that of the HEE and the MI. The role of the Lorentz violation in determining the behaviors of quantum information-related quantities is also analyzed.

Nutrition Assistance Amid Disaster: WIC Administration & Crisis Events
Creators: name: Motley, Hannah Rose
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: This thesis explores the effect of crisis events on the administration of the Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) in North Carolina, with a particular emphasis on ethical challenges associated with disaster administration. Using a critical interpretive review, this paper identifies and analyzes trends in North Carolina WIC’s disaster response, and evaluates them against a normative ethical framework. This research finds that WIC administration during crises is generally more flexible and more likely to be agency-preserving for program participants, as compared to non-emergency policies. Ultimately, this work argues that emergency administration protocols offer a favorable model for implementing agency-promoting policies and procedures across WIC agencies and at all times, not just during disasters.
