description: Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) has become an accessible way to obtain genome-wide data in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for phylogenetic inference. Nonetheless, how differences in RADseq methods influence phylogenetic estimation is poorly understood because most comparisons have largely relied on conceptual predictions rather than empirical tests. We examine how differences in ddRAD and 2bRAD data influence phylogenetic estimation in two non-model frog groups. We compare the impact of method choice on phylogenetic information, missing data, and allelic dropout, considering different sequencing depths. Given that researchers must balance input (funding, time) with output (amount and quality of data), we also provide comparisons of laboratory effort, computational time, monetary costs, and the repeatability of library preparation and sequencing. Both 2bRAD and ddRAD methods estimated well-supported trees, even at low sequencing depths, and had comparable amounts of missing data, patterns of allelic dropout, and phylogenetic signal. Compared to ddRAD, 2bRAD produced more repeatable datasets, had simpler laboratory protocols, and an overall faster bioinformatics assembly. However, many fewer parsimony-informative sites per SNP were obtained from 2bRAD data when using native pipelines, highlighting a need for further investigation into the effects of each pipeline on resulting datasets. Our study underscores the importance of comparing RADseq methods, such as expected results and theoretical performance using empirical datasets, before undertaking costly experiments.

“Fui Líder Estudiantil:” Political Violence And  Activist Memory In Guatemala
Creators: name: Taylor, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Political violence has fundamentally shaped memory making in post-conflict Guatemala. This paper examines the Molina Theissen family’s experience of state violence between 1955 and 1981 as well as the 2018 trial of high-ranking military officers for crimes against the family. Building upon Steve Stern’s memory camp framework, this paper argues that courtrooms are vital spaces of memory making and contestation.

Creators: name: Parviainen, Hannu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a fast and user friendly exoplanet transit light curve modelling package PyTransit, implementing optimised versions of the Gimenéz and the Mandel & Agol transit models. The package offers an object-oriented Python interface to access the two models implemented natively in Fortran with OpenMP parallelisation. A partial OpenCL version of the quadratic Mandel-Agol model is also included for GPU-accelerated computations. The aim of PyTransit is to facilitate the analysis of photometric time series of exoplanet transits consisting of hundreds of thousands of datapoints, and of multi-passband transit light curves from spectrophotometric observations, as a part of a researcher's programming toolkit for building complex, problem-specific, analyses.

description: The complex organic molecules (COMs) detected in star-forming regions are the precursors of the prebiotic molecules that can lead to the emergence of life. By studying COMs in more evolved protoplanetary disks we can gain a better understanding of how they are incorporated into planets. This paper presents ALMA band 7 observations of the dust and ice trap in the protoplanetary disk around Oph IRS 48. We report the first detection of dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) in a planet-forming disk and a tentative detection of methyl formate (CH3OCHO). We determined column densities for the detected molecules and upper limits on non-detected species using the CASSIS spectral analysis tool. The inferred column densities of CH3OCH3 and CH3OCHO with respect to methanol (CH3OH) are of order unity, indicating unusually high abundances of these species compared to other environments. Alternatively, the 12CH3OH emission is optically thick and beam diluted, implying a higher CH3OH column density and a smaller emitting area than originally thought. The presence of these complex molecules can be explained by thermal ice sublimation, where the dust cavity edge is heated by irradiation and the full volatile ice content is observable in the gas phase. This work confirms the presence of oxygen-bearing molecules more complex than CH3OH in protoplanetary disks for the first time. It also shows that it is indeed possible to trace the full interstellar journey of COMs across the different evolutionary stages of star, disk, and planet formation.

INCIDENTAL FINDINGS ON CBCT BY FIELD OF VIEW AND PRESENCE OR ABSENSCE ON 2D IMAGING.
Creators: name: Crockett, Benjamin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this study was to quantify the frequency of incidental findings on cone beam computed tomography per field of view and determine which of these incidental findings was not visible on two-dimensional imaging. Significant incidental findings on 510 CBCT reports taken at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry were recorded. A subset of these findings were reviewed on periapical and panoramic imaging by board certified oral and maxillofacial radiologists to determine which findings were or were not visible. A significant portion of incidental findings detected on CBCT imaging were not visible on 2D imaging. CBCT volumes should be reviewed in their entirety in order to avoid missing any clinically relevant findings.

New directional signatures from the non-relativistic effective field theory of dark matter

description: The framework of non-relativistic effective field theory (NREFT) aims to generalise the standard analysis of direct detection experiments in terms of spin-dependent (SD) and spin-independent (SI) interactions. We show that a number of NREFT operators lead to distinctive new directional signatures, such as prominent ring-like features in the directional recoil rate, even for relatively low mass WIMPs. We discuss these signatures and how they could affect the interpretation of future results from directional detectors. We demonstrate that considering a range of possible operators introduces a factor of 2 uncertainty in the number of events required to confirm the median recoil direction of the signal. Furthermore, using directional detection, it is possible to distinguish the more general NREFT interactions from the standard SI/SD interactions at the $2σ$ level with $\mathcal{O}(100-500)$ events. In particular, we demonstrate that for certain NREFT operators, directional sensitivity provides the only method of distinguishing them from these standard operators, highlighting the importance of directional detectors in probing the particle physics of dark matter.

Campaign Finance Disclosure for the Digital Age: Examining Disclosure Obligations for Online Political Advertising and Online Platforms
Creators: name: Fox, Ashley Nicole
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The Supreme Court has upheld campaign finance disclosure requirements placed on campaigns and other political actors. However, recently, governments have considered an alternative: requirements that online platforms maintain, and in some cases publicly publish, records about political ads that they run. This thesis examines campaign finance disclosure for online political advertising with a primary focus on these newer record-keeping obligations for online platforms. In addition to clarifying existing sponsorship disclaimer and reporting requirements, policymakers should establish record-keeping and publication requirements placed on online platforms, rebut key points in the Fourth Circuit’s decision in Washington Post v. McManus to defend them, and build an empirical record that focuses on how these requirements might serve traditional disclosure interests articulated by the Supreme Court in Buckley v. Valeo. However, policymakers should also work with platforms and each other to explore alternatives, such as an automated distribution-based approach currently being considered in Washington State.

description: Extending the model of the interval, we explicitly define for each $n\ge 0$ a free complete differential graded Lie algebra $\mathfrak{L}_n$ generated by the simplices of $Δ^n$, with desuspended degrees, in which the vertices are Maurer-Cartan elements and the differential extends the simplicial chain complex of the standard $n$-simplex. The family $\{\mathfrak{L}_\bullet\}_{n\ge 0}$ is endowed with a cosimplicial differential graded Lie algebra structure which we use to construct a pair of adjoint functors between the categories of simplicial sets and complete differential graded Lie algebras given by $\langle L\rangle_\bullet=\text{ DGL} (\mathfrak{L}_\bullet,L)$ and $ \mathfrak{L}(K)=\varinjlim_K\mathfrak{L}_{\bullet} $. This new tools let us extend Quillen rational homotopy theory approach to any simplicial set $K$ whose path components are non necessarily simply connected. We prove that $\mathfrak{L} (K)$ contains a model of each component of $K$. When $K$ is a $1$-connected finite simplicial complex, the Quillen model of $K$ can be extracted from $\mathfrak{L} (K)$. When $K$ is connected then, for a perturbed differential $\partial_a$, $H_0(\mathfrak{L} (K),\partial_a)$ is the Malcev Lie completion of $π_1(K)$. Analogous results are obtained for the realization $\langle L\rangle$ of any complete $\text{DGL}$.

Creators: name: Goldsmith, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This study was an update to a 2004 study that investigated the participation and perception of licensed, active orthodontists in the North Carolina Medicaid program. Im’s survey from 2004 was slightly modified and used for a direct comparison to their data to provide a 15-year update. Respondents were asked if they currently accepted new Medicaid patients. Additionally, ten commonly cited problems with the Medicaid program and patients that have been identified as barriers to participation were given. In 2019, twenty-four practitioners (37.5%) reported that they currently accept new Medicaid patients for treatment, a 56% increase by percentage from 2004 reporting of forty practitioners (24.1%). For all ten commonly cited problems, providers who never accepted Medicaid reported the problem to be a major problem more often than current Medicaid providers. From 2004 to 2019, changes in participation and perception of licensed, active orthodontists regarding the North Carolina Medicaid program were observed.

description: Given a monad and a comonad, one obtains a distributive law between them from lifts of one through an adjunction for the other. In particular, this yields for any bialgebroid the Yetter-Drinfel'd distributive law between the comonad given by a module coalgebra and the monad given by a comodule algebra. It is this self-dual setting that reproduces the cyclic homology of associative and of Hopf algebras in the monadic framework of Boehm and Stefan. In fact, their approach generates two duplicial objects and morphisms between them which are mutual inverses if and only if the duplicial objects are cyclic. A 2-categorical perspective on the process of twisting coefficients is provided and the role of the two notions of bimonad studied in the literature is clarified.

description: We have undertaken a Spitzer campaign to measure the IR structures and spectra of low-redshift 3CRR radio galaxies. The results show that the 3.6 - 160 micron infrared properties vary systematically with integrated source power, and so demonstrate that contemporary core activity is characteristic of the behaviour of sources over their lifetimes. IR synchrotron emission is seen from jets and hotspots in some cases. Thermal emission is found from a jet/gas interaction in NGC 7385. Most of the near-IR integrated colours of the low-redshift 3CRR radio galaxies are similar to those of passive galaxies, so that IR colours are poor indicators of radio activity.

Vagueness and Moral Theory
Creators: name: Thieme, Aaron
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Our moral theory faces a conceptual dilemma. On the one hand, our concept of a moral agent is vague. As a result, our moral theory is explanatorily limited in the borderline cases for this concept. On the other hand, if we precisify this concept, we are forced to accept moral arbitrariness. After introducing this dilemma, I defend a solution. We should replace our categorical concept of moral agency with more precise and scalar concepts of moral agency. By deploying these scalar concepts, we can enhance our moral theory’s explanatoriness while avoiding moral arbitrariness.

description: A new representation of solutions to the equation $-y"+q(x)y=ω^2 y$ is obtained. For every $x$ the solution is represented as a Neumann series of Bessel functions depending on the spectral parameter $ω$. Due to the fact that the representation is obtained using the corresponding transmutation operator, a partial sum of the series approximates the solution uniformly with respect to $ω$ which makes it especially convenient for the approximate solution of spectral problems. The numerical method based on the proposed approach allows one to compute large sets of eigendata with a nondeteriorating accuracy.

description: This paper explores novel approaches for improving the spatial codification for the pooling of local descriptors to solve the semantic segmentation problem. We propose to partition the image into three regions for each object to be described: Figure, Border and Ground. This partition aims at minimizing the influence of the image context on the object description and vice versa by introducing an intermediate zone around the object contour. Furthermore, we also propose a richer visual descriptor of the object by applying a Spatial Pyramid over the Figure region. Two novel Spatial Pyramid configurations are explored: Cartesian-based and crown-based Spatial Pyramids. We test these approaches with state-of-the-art techniques and show that they improve the Figure-Ground based pooling in the Pascal VOC 2011 and 2012 semantic segmentation challenges.

description: Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of the Denti.AI CAD system in assisting dentists with detecting apical radiolucencies on intraoral periapical radiographs. Methods: Using CBCT as the ground truth reference, (n=68) IO radiographs were randomly selected to serve as the testing subset. Twelve readers were asked to view the subset and to record their confidence about the presence of apical radiolucencies. Readers analyzed the same images under two conditions: with and without AI predictions shown. The readers' performance for both conditions was compared. AFROC was chosen as the main metric of performance measurement.Results: The AFROC-AUC metric showed a statistically significant improvement by 4.9 or 5.8% compared to the unaided reading session. Subgroup performance analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in the detection of mandibular molar lesions, small lesions, and in endodontically-treated teeth. Conclusion: Using a limited testing dataset, Denti.AI improved localization of apical radiolucencies. Further AI training is necessary to increase the sensitivity and specificity of apical radiolucency detection.

description: We obtain refined generating series formulae for equivariant characteristic classes of external and symmetric products of singular complex quasi-projective varieties. More concretely, we study equivariant versions of Todd, Chern and Hirzebruch classes for singular spaces, with values in delocalized Borel-Moore homology of external and symmetric products. As a byproduct, we recover our previous characteristic class formulae for symmetric products, and obtain new equivariant generalizations of these results, in particular also in the context of twisting by representations of the symmetric group.

The Reliability of Palatal Rugae as a Landmark for Superimposition in Patients Treated with Rapid Palatal Expansion
Creators: name: Anderson, Joseph Tanner
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The objective of this study is to evaluate the reliability of palatal rugae as a landmark for superimposition in orthodontic patients treated with palatal expansion. Pre- and post-treatment 3D digital scans and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained in 15 patients treated with Rapid Palatal Expansion (RPE). The scans from each timepoint were fit to corresponding structures in their associated CBCTs, and the new volumes were oriented to a common coordinate system. Voxel-based superimpositions of pre- and post-treatment volumes were made for each patient using stable structures identified by “gold-standard” Bjork studies. A second set of surface-based superimpositions were made using palatal rugae. Concordance between the two methods was compared, and the two methods of superimposition did not agree. Palatal rugae is not a reliable landmark for superimposition in orthodontic cases treated with rapid palatal expansion.

description: Living systems need to be highly responsive, and also to keep fluctuations low. These goals are incompatible in equilibrium systems due to the Fluctuation Dissipation Theorem (FDT). Here, we show that biological sensory systems, driven far from equilibrium by free energy consumption, can reduce their intrinsic fluctuations while maintaining high responsiveness. By developing a continuum theory of the E. coli chemotaxis pathway, we demonstrate that adaptation can be understood as a non-equilibrium phase transition controlled by free energy dissipation, and it is characterized by a breaking of the FDT. We show that the maximum response at short time is enhanced by free energy dissipation. At the same time, the low frequency fluctuations and the adaptation error decrease with the free energy dissipation algebraically and exponentially, respectively.

description: The Taurus-Auriga molecular complex (TMC) is the main laboratory for the study of low mass star formation. The density and properties of interstellar dust are expected to vary across the TMC. These variations trace important processes such as dust nucleation or the magnetic field coupling with the cloud. In this article, we show how the combination of near ultraviolet (NUV) and infrared (IR) photometry can be used to derive the strength of the 2175 Å bump and thus any enhancement in the abundance of small dust grains and PAHs in the dust grains size distribution. This technique is applied to the envelope of the TMC, mapped by the GALEX All Sky Survey (AIS). UV and IR photometric data have been retrieved from the GALEX-AIS and the 2MASS catalogues. NUV and K-band star counts have been used to identify the areas in the cloud envelope where the 2175 Å bump is weaker than in the diffuse ISM namely, the low column density extensions of L1495, L1498 and L1524 in Taurus, L1545, L1548, L1519, L1513 in Auriga and L1482-83 in the California region. This finding agrees with previous results on dust evolution derived from Spitzer data and suggests that dust grains begin to decouple from the environmental galactic magnetic field already in the envelope.

description: The data collected with a radioactively pure ZnWO$_4$ crystal scintillator (699 g) in low background measurements during 2130 h at the underground (3600 m w.e.) Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (INFN, Italy) were used to set a limit on possible concentration of superheavy eka-W (seaborgium Sg, Z = 106) in the crystal. Assuming that one of the daughters in a chain of decays of the initial Sg nucleus decays with emission of high energy $α$ particle ($Q_α> 8$ MeV) and analyzing the high energy part of the measured $α$ spectrum, the limit N(Sg)/N(W) < 5.5 $\times$ 10$^{-14}$ atoms/atom at 90% C.L. was obtained (for Sg half-life of 10$^9$ yr). In addition, a limit on the concentration of eka-Bi was set by analysing the data collected with a large BGO scintillation bolometer in an experiment performed by another group [L. Cardani et al., JINST 7 (2012) P10022]: N(eka-Bi)/N(Bi) < 1.1 $\times$ 10$^{-13}$ atoms/atom with 90% C.L. Both the limits are comparable with those obtained in recent experiments which instead look for spontaneous fission of superheavy elements or use the accelerator mass spectrometry.

Dark Energy and Inflation in a Gravitational Wave Dominated Universe

description: The empty space (with no matter fields) is not really empty because of natural metric fluctuations, quantum and classical. We show that gravitons as well as classical gravitational waves of super-horizon wavelengths are able to form the de Sitter state of the empty homogeneous isotropic Universe. This state is the exact solution to the self-consistent equations of one-loop quantum gravity for gravitons in the empty FLRW space. It also is the exact solution to the self-consistent equations of back reaction for classical gravitational waves. Technically, to get this de Sitter solution in both quantum and classical cases, it is necessary to make the transition to imaginary time and then come back to real time which is possible because this de Sitter state is invariant with respect to Wick rotation. Such a procedure means that the time was used as a complex variable, and this fact has a deep but still not understood meaning. De Sitter accelerated expansion of the empty Universe naturally explains the origin of dark energy and inflation because the Universe is empty at the start and by the end of its evolution. This theory is consistent with the existing observational data. The CMB anisotropy of the order of 10^-5 is produced by fluctuations in the number of gravitons. The existence of a threshold and unique coincidence of topologically impenetrable barriers for tunneling takes place for the matter-dominated epoch and De Sitter State only. These facts provide a solution to the coincidence problem. The theoretical prediction that the equation-of-state parameter should be w>-1 for inflation and w

description: Hierarchical organization is a cornerstone of complexity and multifractality constitutes its central quantifying concept. For model uniform cascades the corresponding singularity spectra are symmetric while those extracted from empirical data are often asymmetric. Using the selected time series representing such diverse phenomena like price changes and inter-transaction times in the financial markets, sentence length variability in the narrative texts, Missouri River discharge and Sunspot Number variability as examples, we show that the resulting singularity spectra appear strongly asymmetric, more often left-sided but in some cases also right-sided. We present a unified view on the origin of such effects and indicate that they may be crucially informative for identifying composition of the time series. One particularly intriguing case of this later kind of asymmetry is detected in the daily reported Sunspot Number variability. This signals that either the commonly used famous Wolf formula distorts the real dynamics in expressing the largest Sunspot Numbers or, if not, that their dynamics is governed by a somewhat different mechanism.

Evaluation of Drinking Water Contaminants in a Peri-Urban Neighborhood After Connection to Municipal Water Service
Creators: name: Desclos, April
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: In a practice called “municipal underbounding”, many African American communities in the southern United States have been excluded from town boundaries and must rely on private wells that have worse water quality than community water systems.  In this study, I collected water samples from 12 households in a majority African American, underbounded community in North Carolina to assess the change in water quality after households connected to municipal water.  I compared levels of metals and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in private well and municipal water samples and used samples collected sequentially to determine whether running the faucet (flushing) reduces exposure to lead.  After connection, levels of lead and copper decreased significantly, and lead levels remained low.  Flushing for 15 seconds significantly reduced lead levels for both water sources.  The average, total PFAS concentration was higher in Apex water than in private wells, but this difference was not significant.
