description: In the scientific literature little attention has been given to the use of dynamic light scattering (DLS) as a tool for extracting the thermodynamic information contained in the absolute intensity of light scattered by gels. In this article we show that DLS yields reliable measurements of the intensity of light scattered by the thermodynamic fluctuations, not only in aqueous polymer solutions, but also in hydrogels. In hydrogels, light scattered by osmotic fluctuations is heterodyned by that from static or slowly varying inhomogeneities. The two components are separable owing to their different time scales, giving good experimental agreement with macroscopic measurements of the osmotic pressure. DLS measurements in gels are, however, tributary to depolarised light scattering from the network as well as to multiple light scattering. The paper examines these effects, as well as the instrumental corrections required to determine the osmotic modulus. For guest polymers trapped in a hydrogel the measured intensity, extrapolated to zero concentration, is identical to that found by static light scattering from the same polymers in solution. The gel environment modifies the second and third virial coefficients, providing a means of evaluating the interaction between the polymers and the gel.

description: Spacecraft attitude and control chemical thrusters are mostly based on catalytic decomposition of anhydrous hydrazine. Because of its high toxicity and suspected carcinogenic effect, CNES proposed for replacement a new family of green monopropellants based on energetic ionic liquids. For a proper design of thruster combustion chamber, experiments on thermal ignition and regression rate were necessary. An experimental study of the combustion of two HPGM (High Performance Green Monopropellant) is presented in this paper. Two experimental setups were developed to study monopropellant combustion. The first experiment is focused on an isolated droplet in a controlled atmosphere. Tuning initial pressure around fresh propellant highlighted that there is a threshold pressure below which there is no combustion, but only thermal decomposition of monopropellant. No regression of the hanged droplet was noticeable because of intense distortion effects. However, capture and track of some of the fragmented droplets allowed measuring their radial regression. Unfortunately, the spatial and temporal resolutions were not sufficient to provide an accurate measurement. This motivated the transition to a second setup called \"U-gutter combustion setup\", which was designed to drastically increase the combustion duration and then the resolution of the regression rate measurement. Fast camera imaging and a \"Time-wires\" technique using thermocouples were implemented to measure the flame front displacement. The gutter is placed into a pressurized vessel allowing controlling the ignition initial pressure. During combustion, pressure is monitored to estimate pressure influence on regression rate. First results highlighted a strong dependency of pressure on regression rate. The three methods have given similar order of magnitude, repeatability experiments are necessary to conclude on methods accuracy.

description: Pairing-friendly elliptic curves in the Barreto-Lynn-Scott family are seeing a resurgence in popularity because of the recent result of Kim and Barbulescu that improves attacks against other pairing-friendly curve families. One particular Barreto-Lynn-Scott curve, called BLS12-381, is the locus of significant development and deployment effort, especially in blockchain applications. This effort has sparked interest in using the BLS12-381 curve for BLS signatures, which requires hashing to one of the groups of the bilinear pairing defined by BLS12-381. While there is a substantial body of literature on the problem of hashing to elliptic curves, much of this work does not apply to Barreto-Lynn-Scott curves. Moreover, the work that does apply has the unfortunate property that fast implementations are complex, while simple implementations are slow. In this work, we address these issues. First, we show a straightforward way of adapting the “simplified SWU” map of Brier et al. to BLS12-381. Second, we describe optimizations to this map that both simplify its implementation and improve its performance; these optimizations may be of interest in other contexts. Third, we implement and evaluate. We find that our work yields constant-time hash functions that are simple to implement, yet perform within 9% of the fastest, non–constant-time alternatives, which require much more complex implementations.

description: We in Yippelia attempt to automatically identify deep bugs in hardware designs by symbolically exploring hardware designs for one clock cycle and then stitching the generated simple paths to form a multi-cycle path from the reset state to the buggy state. Compared to a state-of-the-art symbolic execution engine, Yippelia has an average speedup of at least four orders of magnitude on finding deep bugs on the up-down counter hardware design.

description: We study the hydrodynamic regime of chiral plasmas at high temperature. We find a new type of gapless collective excitation induced by chiral effects in an external magnetic field. This is a transverse wave, and it is present even in incompressible fluids, unlike the chiral magnetic and chiral vortical waves. The velocity is proportional to the coefficient of the gravitational anomaly. We briefly discuss the possible relevance of this "chiral Alfvén wave" in physical systems.

title: Colour Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorders
Creators: name: Ludlow, Amanda Katherine
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2005

description: The research described in this thesis investigated colour processing in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders. Although idiosyncratic responses to colour have been widely reported in autism (William, 1999; White & White, 1991), and therapeutic interventions involving colour are frequently used with individuals with this disorder (Howlin, 1996; Irlen, 1991), few controlled colour processing investigations have been carried out. The experiments reported in the thesis have two main points of focus. Firstly, the therapeutic effects of colour overlays on different aspects of cognition were tested, and secondly, studies into colour discrimination, memory, naming and categorisation were carried out in order to evaluate the role of language and perceptual processing in colour processing. In experiments one and two it was established that significantly more children with autism than age and intelligence matched controls improved their reading speed when using a colour overlay. In experiments three and four, these effects were further investigated using visual change detection and reading comprehension tasks with and without colour overlays. Again, a significant improvement in performance was noted in the autism group when using colour overlays. The results from experiments four to eleven, testing colour discrimination, memory and naming failed to confirm atypical colour processing in autism, although the findings did suggest that cognitively unimpaired children with autism showed sharper category boundaries than those with autism and cognitive impairment and typically developing controls. Finally data from a case study of a boy with Asperger Syndrome who showed highly idiosyncratic colour responses were presented. The findings from the studies are discussed within the context of current theories of visual cognition in autism and theories of colour perception.

The Effect of Educational Attainment of Refugees Before Arrival on Earnings in the United States
Creators: name: Dowden, Savannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: While the link between education and income has been widely established, there exists very little research concerning this relationship for refugees. This paper aims to address this gap by exploring the relationship between refugees’ country-of-origin education, before arrival to the U.S., and their U.S. income. This relationship was analyzed through the use of multiple regression on the 2017 Annual Survey of Refugees dataset - a large, rich dataset for which survey weights were constructed to both account for a refugee’s probability of selection and to ensure the final dataset was representative of the larger refugee population in the U.S. The key findings from this study were that (1) additional years of country-of-origin education lead to higher U.S. earnings and (2) completing secondary school and obtaining a university degree in the country of origin are the only degrees or certificates that impact U.S. earnings, and they both lead to an increase in earnings as compared to a refugee with no degrees from their country of origin. These findings, alongside others, highlight the importance of country-of-origin education and its impact on refugee integration. Policymakers are urged to reevaluate the strict standards by which someone is granted recognition of their foreign-obtained degree, as well as to adopt policies that increase the educational resources available to refugees after arrival to the U.S.

The Reception of Thai Boys Love Series in China: Consumption, Imagination, and Friction
Creators: name: Zhang, Junqi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Starting from the mid 2010s, the world has witnessed the spectacularly rapid rise of Thai Boys Love series, TV series produced in Thailand that center around the homoromantic and/or homoerotic stories of one or more young, physically attractive, and masculine-identified male-male couple(s). The prevalence of these series is not only present within China’s intricate and distinctive social landscape. In fact, China, with millions of energized and devoted enthusiasts, is perhaps the most significant international market for Thai Boys Love series, and these series are indisputably the most popular non-animated male-male-love media in China nowadays. Guided by three subtopics, consumption, imagination, and friction, this thesis explores the reception of Thai Boys Love series in China, casting light on the Chinese consumers of these series, including viewers/fans, subtitle groups, and event organizers, in relation to the complex societal, historical, and ideological dynamics in contemporary China. The detailed introduction in the beginning on the development of Thai Boys Love series in Thailand and their trajectory in China sets the stage for this thesis to delve into four noteworthy aspects regarding the reception of these series in China. First, it unveils the carnivalesque consumption of Thai Boys Love series safeguarded largely by the various self-censoring strategies most consumers are practicing to get around the dominant but porous governmental censorship. Second, it examines the alternative unbounded world portrayed in these series that appeals to most viewers given the pressures and difficulties they have to confront in their day-to-day lives. Third, it indicates the problematic consequences these series may render in terms of how they promote and reinforce the fantasized “gay paradise” stereotype toward Thailand and the hegemonic “gay archetype” image to regulate gay men and marginalize some members in the gay community. Fourth, it explicates the actual vulnerability of the alleged “Chinese-Thai romance” under the rise of nationalistic sentiments as well as the comeback of Sinocentrism among most Chinese people. It ends with a reflective discussion about this thesis, the limitations, and possible directions for future research. This thesis is based on my close reading of the most well-received Thai Boys Love series from 2014 to April 2021, my extensive online observations since 2016, and a wide variety of secondary sources in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Thai.

Development of Frequency Domain Multidimensional Spectroscopy with Applications in Semiconductor Photophysics
Creators: name: Thompson, Blaise Jonathan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018
Subjects: spectroscopy

description: Coherent multidimensional spectroscopy (CMDS) encompasses a family of experimental strategies in-
 volving the nonlinear interaction between electric fields and a material under investigation. This approach
 has several unique capabilities:
 1. resolving congested states,
 2. extracting spectra that would otherwise be selection-rule disallowed,
 3. resolving fully coherent dynamics,
 4. measuring coupling, and
 5. resolving ultrafast dynamics.
 CMDS can be collected in the frequency or the time domain, and each approach has advantages and
 disadvantages. Frequency domain “Multi-resonant” CMDS (MR-CMDS) requires pulsed ultrafast
 light sources with tunable output frequencies. These pulses are directed into a material under investi-
 gation. The pulses interact with the material, and due to the specific interference between the multiple
 fields the material is driven to emit a new pulse: the MR-CMDS signal. This signal may have a different
 frequency and/or direction than the input pulses, depending on the exact experiment being performed.
 The MR-CMDS experiment involves tracking the intensity of this output signal as a function of different
 properties of the excitation pulses. These properties include 1. frequency 2. relative arrival time and
 separation (delay) 3. fluence, and 4. polarization, among others. Thus MR-CMDS can be
 thought of as a multidimensional experimental space, where experiments typically involve explorations
 in one to four of the properties above.
 Because MR-CMDS is a family of related-but-separate experiments, each of them a multidimensional
 space, there are special challenges that must be addressed when designing a general-purpose MR-CMDS
 instrument. These issues require development of software, hardware, and theory. Part I: Background
 introduces relevant literature which informs on this development work. Part II: Development presents
 five strategies used to improve MR-CMDS: 1. processing software (Chapter 4), 2. acquisition software
 (Chapter 5) 3, active artifact correction (Chapter 6), 4. automated OPA calibration (Chapter 7), and 5.
 finite pulse accountancy (Chapter 8). Finally, Part III: Applications presents four examples where these
 instruments, with these improvements, have been used to address chemical questions in semiconductor
 systems.

description: Among the different methods to derive particle creation, finding the quantum stress tensor expectation value gives a covariant quantity which can be used for examining the back-reaction issue. However this tensor also includes vacuum polarization in a way that depends on the vacuum chosen. Here we review different aspects of particle creation by looking at energy conservation and at the quantum stress tensor. It will be shown that in the case of general spherically symmetric black holes that have a \emph{dynamical horizon}, as occurs in a cosmological context, one cannot have pair creation on the horizon because this violates energy conservation. This confirms the results obtained in other ways in a previous paper [25]. Looking at the expectation value of the quantum stress tensor with three different definitions of the vacuum state, we study the nature of particle creation and vacuum polarization in black hole and cosmological models, and the associated stress energy tensors. We show that the thermal temperature that is calculated from the particle flux given by the quantum stress tensor is compatible with the temperature determined by the affine null parameter approach. Finally, it will be shown that in the spherically symmetric dynamic case, we can neglect the backscattering term and only consider the s-waves term near the future apparent horizon.

Mitigating Coherent Noise by Balancing Weight-2 $Z$-Stabilizers

description: Physical platforms such as trapped ions suffer from coherent noise where errors manifest as rotations about a particular axis and can accumulate over time. We investigate passive mitigation through decoherence free subspaces, requiring the noise to preserve the code space of a stabilizer code, and to act as the logical identity operator on the protected information. Thus, we develop necessary and sufficient conditions for all transversal $Z$-rotations to preserve the code space of a stabilizer code, which require the weight-$2$ $Z$-stabilizers to cover all the qubits that are in the support of some $X$-component. Further, the weight-$2$ $Z$-stabilizers generate a direct product of single-parity-check codes with even block length. By adjusting the size of these components, we are able to construct a large family of QECC codes, oblivious to coherent noise, that includes the $[[4L^2, 1, 2L]]$ Shor codes. Moreover, given $M$ even and any $[[n,k,d]]$ stabilizer code, we can construct an $[[Mn, k, \ge d]]$ stabilizer code that is oblivious to coherent noise. If we require that transversal $Z$-rotations preserve the code space only up to some finite level $l$ in the Clifford hierarchy, then we can construct higher level gates necessary for universal quantum computation. The $Z$-stabilizers supported on each non-zero $X$-component form a classical binary code C, which is required to contain a self-dual code, and the classical Gleason's theorem constrains its weight enumerator. The conditions for a stabilizer code being preserved by transversal $2π/2^l$ $Z$-rotations at $4 \le l \le l_{\max} <\infty$ level in the Clifford hierarchy lead to generalizations of Gleason's theorem that may be of independent interest to classical coding theorists.

description: We report first results from an ongoing monitoring campaign to measure time delays between the six images of the quasar SDSS\,J2222$+$2745, gravitationally lensed by a galaxy cluster. The time delay between A and B, the two most highly magnified images, is measured to be $τ_{\rm AB} = 47.7 \pm 6.0$ days (95\% confidence interval), consistent with previous model predictions for this lens system. The strong intrinsic variability of the quasar also allows us to derive a time delay value of $τ_{\rm CA} = 722 \pm 24$ days between image C and A, in spite of modest overlap between their light curves in the current data set. Image C, which is predicted to lead all the other lensed quasar images, has undergone a sharp, monotonic flux increase of 60-75\% during 2014. A corresponding brightening is firmly predicted to occur in images A and B during 2016. The amplitude of this rise indicates that time delays involving all six known images in this system, including those of the demagnified central images D-F, will be obtainable from further ground-based monitoring of this system during the next few years.

Exploratory Behavior Associates with Facultative Hybridization in Spea bombifrons
Creators: name: Sabo, William
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: How species’ ranges evolve remains an open question in ecology and evolution. The plains spadefoot toad (Spea bombifrons), although native to the central United States, has recently expanded its range south into desert regions of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and even Mexico sympatric with the Mexican spadefoot toad (Spea multiplicata).  S. bombifrons females facultatively hybridize with S. multiplicata males in low water ponds, which dry up faster in the desert, reducing the time available for development. This increases the developmental rate and fitness of S. bombifrons’ offspring in these desert regions and plays an important role in S. bombifrons’ range expansion. Behavior has been implicated in the successful adaptation of many marginal populations, yet it remained unclear how behavior, or more broadly, personality, may associate with adaptive hybridization to promote S. bombifrons’ adaptation at its range edge. We therefore aimed to discover the following: whether exploratory behavior, activity, or boldness are correlated with facultative hybridization in S. bombifrons; how the behavior of hybrid offspring compares to sympatric populations; and how exploratory behavior varies across environmental conditions.  Lab assays for exploratory behavior, activity, and boldness as well as mate choice tests were conducted to quantify behavior and to record female mate preference, respectively. In sum, S. bombifrons females preferring the heterospecific call were significantly more exploratory than those preferring the conspecific. The exploratory behavior of hybrids most closely resembled the behavior of S. bombifrons individuals from sympatric populations in a mother dependent manner. Lasty, exploratory behavior did not vary significantly across environmental gradients of elevation.  This work suggests exploratory behavior may play an important role in shaping S. bombifrons’ range by influencing facultative hybridization and impacting future dispersal potential in hybrid offspring.

description: Methods and insights from statistical physics are finding an increasing variety of applications where one seeks to understand the emergent properties of a complex interacting system. One such area concerns the dynamics of language at a variety of levels of description, from the behaviour of individual agents learning simple artificial languages from each other, up to changes in the structure of languages shared by large groups of speakers over historical timescales. In this Colloquium, we survey a hierarchy of scales at which language and linguistic behaviour can be described, along with the main progress in understanding that has been made at each of them---much of which has come from the statistical physics community. We argue that future developments may arise by linking the different levels of the hierarchy together in a more coherent fashion, in particular where this allows more effective use of rich empirical data sets.

Grieving Time: The Formation of Virtual Shrines on Social Media
Creators: name: Cohen, Anna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This thesis engages with Jack Santino’s research on physical shrines and Kay Turner’s “September 11: The Burden of the Ephemeral” as well as other theories surrounding systemic racism and marginalization. Grieving Time: The Formation of Virtual Shrines on Social Media seeks to analyze the different pieces of virtual shrines on social media and their uses in the broader folkloric studies of ritual, decentralized healing, and collective trauma. More specifically, this thesis aims to explain postings on Twitter to create an assemblage that address grief after instances of racialized violence. This thesis will also address Kay Turner’s argument about the role of physical shrines and how they guide those left behind after a sudden unexpected death to a stage of acceptance. I am arguing that due to the nature of systemic racism having no clear end on its stronghold in American society, virtual shrines on social media’s role is to help maintain a constant state of grief rather than deliver those left behind after a racial killing to a stage of acceptance.

description: In this work we introduce a new plateau-like inflationary model including a quadratic scalar potential coupled non-minimally to gravity. This potential has a dominant constant energy density at early times which can realize successful inflation. It also includes an infinitesimal non-zero term $V_0$ responsible for explaining dark energy which causing the universe to expand accelerating at the late time. We show that this model predicts small tensor-to-scalar ratio of the order of $r\approx 0.01$ which is fully consistent with Planck constraints. Using the lower and upper bounds on reheating temperature, we provide additional constraints on the non-minimal coupling parameter $ξ$ of the model. We also study the preheating stage predicted by this kind of potentials using numerical calculations.

description: Sinking or sedimentation of biological aggregates plays a critical role in carbon sequestration in the ocean and in vertical material fluxes in waste–water treatment plants. In both these contexts, the sinking aggregates are ‘active’, since they are biological hot-spots and are densely colonized by microorganisms including bacteria and sessile protists, some of which generate feeding currents. However, the effect of these feeding currents on the sinking rates, trajectories and mass transfer to these ‘active sinking particles’ has not previously been studied. Here, we use a novel scale-free vertical tracking microscope (a.k.a. gravity machine; Krishnamurthy et al. 2020 Nat. Methods 17, 1040–1051 (doi:10.1038/s41592-020-0924-7)) to follow model sinking aggregates (agar spheres) with attached protists (Vorticella convallaria), sinking over long distances while simultaneously measuring local flows. We find that activity due to attached V. convallaria causes significant changes to the flow around aggregates in a dynamic manner and reshapes mass transport boundary layers. Further, we find that activity-mediated local flows along with sinking modify the encounter and plume cross-sections of the aggregate and induce sustained aggregate rotations. Overall, our work shows the important role of biological activity in shaping the near-field flows around aggregates with potentially important effects on aggregate fate and material fluxes.

description: The measured values of the Higgs and top quark masses imply that the Standard Model potential is very likely to be unstable at large Higgs values. This is particularly problematic during inflation, which sources large perturbations of the Higgs. The instability could be cured by a threshold effect induced by a scalar with a large vacuum expectation value and directly connected to the Standard Model through a Higgs portal coupling. However, we find that in a minimal model in which the scalar generates inflation, this mechanism does not stabilize the potential because the mass required for inflation is beyond the instability scale. This conclusion does not change if the Higgs has a direct weak coupling to the scalar curvature. On the other hand, if the potential is absolutely stable, successful inflation in agreement with current CMB data can occur along a valley of the potential with a Mexican hat profile. We revisit the stability conditions, independently of inflation, and clarify that the threshold effect cannot work if the Higgs portal coupling is too small. We also show that inflation in a false Higgs vacuum appearing radiatively for a tuned ratio of the Higgs and top masses leads to an amplitude of primordial gravitational waves that is far too high, ruling out this possibility.
