description: The recent growth and restructuring of the swine industry in the state of Mississippi has raised various environmental and socioeconomic concerns. We spatially examined the location and attributes of 67 industrial hog operations to determine if African American and low-income communities have a high prevalence of industrial hog operations located near their neighborhoods at the census block group level. We used spatial data and cross-classification analysis to compare the prevalence of industrial hog operations in neighborhoods that are primarily African American and low income with the prevalence in neighborhoods that are African American and affluent. We also used logistic regression to evaluate the relationship between the environmental justice variables and the location of the industrial hog operations. The block group characterization showed a high prevalence of hog operations in the four highest quintiles compared with the lowest quintile for percentage African American and percentage poverty. At increasing levels of percentage African Americans and percentage of persons in poverty, there are 2.4-3.6 times more operations compared with the referent group; additionally, scale adjustment to only the hog counties reduces this to 1.8-3.1 more operations compared with the referent group. The inequitable distribution of hog-confined agricultural feeding operations in these communities may have adverse environmental impacts associated with industrial hog production, such as increased health risks and quality of life degradation, as have occurred in other areas having similar facilities.

description: This study is particularly important for understanding the impact of various sociocultural elements on a person’s health behaviour; such as the society that one was born and raised in, culture, religion and ethnic background. By looking into second-generation Muslim women’s health behaviour and engagement with the screening, this study illuminates a different area and fills the gap in the literature. It also explores second-generation female Muslims’ perspectives about the smear test and whether they experience any difficulties related to participation in cervical screening.
The Potential Impact of Flooding on Confined Animal Feeding Operations in Eastern North Carolina

description: Thousands of confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) have been constructed in eastern North Carolina. The fecal waste pit and spray field waste management systems used by these operations are susceptible to flooding in this low-lying region. To investigate the potential that flood events can lead to environmental dispersion of animal wastes containing numerous biologic and chemical hazards, we compared the geographic coordinates of 2,287 CAFOs permitted by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) with estimates of flooding derived from digital satellite images of eastern North Carolina taken approximately 1 week after Hurricane Floyd dropped as much as 15-20 inches of rain in September 1999. Three cattle, one poultry, and 237 swine operations had geographic coordinates within the satellite-based flooded area. DWQ confirmed 46 operations with breached or flooded fecal waste pits in the same area. Only 20 of these 46 CAFOs were within the satellite-based estimate of the inundated area. CAFOs within the satellite-based flood area were located in 132 census block groups with a population of 171,498 persons in the 2000 census. African Americans were more likely than whites to live in areas with flooded CAFOs according to satellite estimates, but not according to DWQ reports. These areas have high poverty rates and dependence on wells for drinking water. Our analysis suggests that flood events have a significant potential to degrade environmental health because of dispersion of wastes from industrial animal operations in areas with vulnerable populations.

description: Recent research of the metabolism and biological effects of arsenic has profoundly changed our understanding of the role of metabolism in modulation of toxicity and carcinogenicity of this metalloid. Historically, the enzymatic conversion of inorganic arsenic to mono- and dimethylated species has been considered a major mechanism for detoxification of inorganic arsenic. However, compelling experimental evidence obtained from several laboratories suggests that biomethylation, particularly the production of methylated metabolites that contain trivalent arsenic, is a process that activates arsenic as a toxin and a carcinogen. This article summarizes this evidence and provides new data on a) the toxicity of methylated trivalent arsenicals in mammalian cells, b) the effects of methylated trivalent arsenicals on gene transcription, and c) the mechanisms involved in arsenic methylation in animal and human tissues.

description: A model of a bulk water system describing the vibrational motion of intramolecular and intermolecular modes is constructed, enabling analysis of its linear and nonlinear vibrational spectra, as well as the energy transfer processes between the vibrational modes. The model is described as a system of four interacting anharmonic oscillators nonlinearly coupled to their respective heat baths. To perform a rigorous numerical investigation of the non-Markovian and nonperturbative quantum dissipative dynamics of the model, we derive discretized hierarchical equations of motion in mixed Liouville-Wigner space (DHEOM-MLWS), with Lagrange-Hermite mesh discretization being employed in the Liouville space of the intramolecular modes and Lagrange-Hermite mesh discretization and Hermite discretization in the Wigner space of the intermolecular modes. One-dimensional infrared and Raman spectra and two-dimensional terahertz-infrared-visible and infrared-infrared-Raman spectra are computed as demonstrations of the quantum dissipative description provided by our model.

description: Silicon pixel detectors located in the inner tracker of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) general-purpose experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) require replacement for the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade, planned to begin in 2026. Existing silicon pixel detectors will be unusable due to sustained radiation damage, and will be replaced with sensors designed for increased precision and radiation hardness, in order to enable HL-LHC study of known mechanisms in greater detail and detection of increasingly rare particles. In testing one prototype 3D silicon pixel detector created by Centro National de Microelectronica (CNM) before and after irradiation at Fermi National Laboratory (FNAL) at fluences similar to those which will be observed at the HL-LHC, sensor efficiency was found to decrease by 0.1-1% after irradiation, depending on beam incident angle, though efficiency values remained high, with plateaus above 99.5% efficiency. Sensor resolution (RMS average residual width, telescope resolution subtracted) was not significantly impacted post-irradiation. After irradiation, charge deposited on the sensor was found to increase with applied bias voltage suggesting increased depletion zone width; peak deposited charge was around 7000 electrons post-irradiation and 14000 electrons pre-irradiation suggesting post-irradiation results were taken without full sensor depletion. Post-irradiation results showed smaller pixel cluster sizes, with average cluster size decreasing by up to 20%, with the largest differences seen at acute beam incidence angles.

description: Metallic constituents contained in ambient particulate matter have been associated with adverse effects in a number of epidemiologic, in vitro, and in vivo studies. Residual oil fly ash (ROFA) is a metallic by-product of the combustion of fossil fuel oil, which has been shown to induce a variety of proinflammatory responses in lung cells. We have examined signaling pathways activated in response to ROFA exposure and recently reported that ROFA treatment activates multiple mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases in the rat lung. In the present study we extended our investigations on the mechanism of toxicity of ROFA to include transcription factors whose activities are regulated by MAP kinases as well as possible effectors of transcriptional changes that mediate the effects of ROFA. We applied immunohistochemical methods to detect ROFA-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF kappa B), activating transcription factor-2 (ATF-2), c-Jun, and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in intact lung tissue and confirmed and characterized their functional activation using DNA binding assays. We performed these studies using a perfused rabbit lung model that is devoid of blood elements in order to distinguish between intrinsic lung cell effects and effects that are secondary to inflammatory cell influx. We report here that exposure to ROFA results in a rapid activation of all of the transcription factors studied by exerting direct effects on lung cells. These findings validate the use of immunohistochemistry to detect transcription factor activation in vivo and demonstrate the utility of studying signaling changes in response to environmental exposures.

description: We discuss a renormalization procedure for random tensor networks, and show that the corresponding renormalization-group flow is given by the Hamiltonian vector flow of the canonical tensor model, which is a discretized model of quantum gravity. The result is the generalization of the previous one concerning the relation between the Ising model on random networks and the canonical tensor model with N=2. We also prove a general theorem which relates discontinuity of the renormalization-group flow and the phase transitions of random tensor networks.

description: The origin of calcium production in the first stars (Pop III stars), which formed out of the primordial matter of the Big Bang, and their fates, remain most fascinating mysteries in astrophysics. Advanced nuclear burning and supernovae were thought to be the dominant source of the Ca production seen in all stars. Here we report on a qualitatively different path to Ca production through break-out from the "warm" carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle. We extend direct measurement of the $^{19}$F($p$, $γ$)$^{20}$Ne break-out reaction down to an unprecedentedly low energy point of 186 keV and discover a key resonance at 225 keV. In the domain of astrophysical interest, at around 0.1 giga kelvin, this thermonuclear $^{19}$F($p$,$γ$)$^{20}$Ne rate is up to a factor of 7.4 larger than the previous recommended rate. Our stellar models show a stronger break-out during stellar hydrogen burning than thought before, and may reveal the nature of Ca production in Pop III stars imprinted on the oldest known ultra-iron poor star, SMSS0313-6708. This result from the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, the deepest laboratory in the world, offering an environment with extremely low cosmic-ray induced background, has far-reaching implications on our understanding of how the first stars evolve and die. Our rate showcases the impact that faint Pop III star supernovae can have on the nucleosynthesis observed in the oldest known stars and first galaxies, key mission targets of the James Webb Space Telescope.

description: Over the past 30 years, the amount of scientific research on the effects of antidepressants on cognitive function has increased dramatically. There is growing evidence about the effects of duloxetine on cognitive function, although there are fewer studies in older adults. Duloxetine has been found to improve several cognitive domains. However, it is unclear to what extent and how many domains of cognitive function in older patients are affected by duloxetine. A scope review is needed to elucidate the extent of duloxetine's effect and ability to improve cognitive function in older adults. This review will identify all English language research articles on the effects of duloxetine on cognitive function in the Science Citation Index (SCI) databases of EBSCO, Pubmed, Scopus, WOS from 1981 to 2021. This review will elucidate the effects of duloxetine on different types of cognitive function in older adults.
A Continuum of Sexual Experiences Among Substance-Involved Sexual Assault Survivors
Creators: name: O'Callaghan, Erin B
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Substance-involved sexual assault represents about half of all sexual assaults and results in negative mental health outcomes, lower levels of help-seeking, and higher levels of self-blame. Much of this is due to societal beliefs about drinking women as well as rape myths about victim substance use during an assault. Rather than seeking to understand the complexity of sexual experiences involving substances, both researchers and the law deem substance-involved sex as risky and/or sexual assault. This is problematic given that 1) many people report engaging in substance-involved sex and enjoying it and 2) it implies that substance use is the root of the issue rather than the systems that create sexual violence. This study sought to critique the binary understanding of sexual violence through a qualitative interview study of a diverse, community sample of substance-involved sexual assault survivors (N = 34). Specifically, this study explored the experiences of substance-involved sexual assault survivors through a survivor-centered approach, inquiring about both their sexual assault experiences as well as their pleasurable and/or wanted sexual experiences. Utilizing thematic analysis and a flexible coding approach, there were three overall themes for this study with associated subthemes: descriptions of impairment, survivor’s sexual experiences, and a continuum of substance-involved sexual experiences. Survivors described feelings of impairment due to substance use that were distinct from quantitative impairment categories identified in past research and that dealt with mental, physical, and emotional symptoms. Survivors felt that their sex lives were impacted negatively due to the assault and described changes in sexual pleasure and communication after the assault. Finally, survivors who used substances during sex described pleasurable experiences that were clearly distinct from their sexual assault experiences and helped survivors to be able to compare these experiences. Implications for research, practice, and policy will be discussed that focus on moving beyond legal definitions of sexual violence and risk recognition programs to prevent such violence.

description: Numerous epidemiologic studies have reported associations between measures of power-line electric or magnetic fields (EMFs) and childhood leukemia. The basis for such associations remains unexplained. In children, acute lymphoblastic leukemia represents approximately three-quarters of all U.S. leukemia types. Some risk factors for childhood leukemia have been established, and others are suspected. Pathogenesis, as investigated in animal models, is consistent with the multistep model of acute leukemia development. Studies of carcinogenicity in animals, however, are overwhelmingly negative and do not support the hypothesis that EMF exposure is a significant risk factor for hematopoietic neoplasia. We may fail to observe effects from EMFs because, from a mechanistic perspective, the effects of EMFs on biology are very weak. Cells and organs function despite many sources of chemical "noise" (e.g., stochastic, temperature, concentration, mechanical, and electrical noise), which exceed the induced EMF "signal" by a large factor. However, the inability to detect EMF effects in bioassay systems may be caused by the choice made for "EMF exposure." "Contact currents" or "contact voltages" have been proposed as a novel exposure metric, because their magnitude is related to measured power-line magnetic fields. A contact current occurs when a person touches two conductive surfaces at different voltages. Modeled analyses support contact currents as a plausible metric because of correlations with residential magnetic fields and opportunity for exposure. The possible role of contact currents as an explanatory variable in the reported associations between EMFs and childhood leukemia will need to be clarified by further measurements, biophysical analyses, bioassay studies, and epidemiology.

description: We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamical properties of a weakly-interacting Bose gas at zero temperature under the multi-pulsed quantum quench in interaction by calculating one-body, two-body correlation functions and Tan's contact of the model system. The multi-pulsed quench is represented as follows: first suddenly quenching the interatomic interaction from $g_{i}$ to $g_{f}$ at time $t=0$, holding time $t$, and then suddenly quenching interaction from $g_{f}$ back to $g_{i}$, holding the time $t$ sequence $n$ times. In particular, two typical kinds of quenching parameters are chosen, corresponding to $(g_{i}/g_{f}>1)$ and $(g_{i}/g_{f}<1)$ respectively. We find that the more the quenching times of $n$ are, the more the excitations are excited, which suggests that the multi-pulsed QQ is more powerful way of studying the non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body quantum system than the `one-off' quantum quench. Finally, we discuss the ultra-short-range properties of the two-body correlation function after the $n$th quenching, which can be used to probe the `Tan'scontact' in experiments. All our calculations can be tested in current cold atom experiments.

Objectivity and Ethics in Environmental Health Science
Creators: name: Wing, Steve
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: During the past several decades, philosophers of science and scientists themselves have become increasingly aware of the complex ways in which scientific knowledge is shaped by its social context. This awareness has called into question traditional notions of objectivity. Working scientists need an understanding of their own practice that avoids the naïve myth that science can become objective by avoiding social influences as well as the reductionist view that its content is determined simply by economic interests. A nuanced perspective on this process can improve research ethics and increase the capacity of science to contribute to equitable public policy, especially in areas such as environmental and occupational health, which have direct implications for profits, regulation, legal responsibility, and social justice. I discuss research into health effects of the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA, as an example of how scientific explanations are shaped by social concepts, norms, and preconceptions. I describe how a scientific practice that developed under the influence of medical and nuclear physics interacted with observations made by exposed community members to affect research questions, the interpretation of evidence, inferences about biological mechanisms in disease causation, and the use of evidence in litigation. By considering the history and philosophy of their disciplines, practicing researchers can increase the rigor, objectivity, and social responsibility of environmental health science.

description: Viral respiratory infections and exposure to environmental constituents such as tobacco smoke are known or suspected to trigger wheezing/asthma exacerbations in children. However, few population-based data exist that examine the relationship between wheezing triggered by viral respiratory infections and environmental exposures. In this investigation we used population-based data to evaluate differences in exposures between symptomatic middle school-age children who did and did not report wheezing triggered by viral respiratory infections. As part of the North Carolina School Asthma Survey (NCSAS), a 66-question data instrument was used to collect information from children enrolled in North Carolina public middle schools during the 1999-2000 school year. Associations between exposures and upper respiratory infection-triggered wheezing (URI-TW) among symptomatic children were examined using adjusted prevalence odds ratios (PORs). Video methods developed for the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood were used to assess wheezing. Among the 33,534 NCSAS symptomatic participants, positive associations were observed between most exposures and URI-TW. Reported presence of all allergy variables (PORs ranging from 2.11 to 2.45) was more strongly associated with URI-TW than either smoking or other exposures. Presence of URI-TW was higher at increasing levels of tobacco smoke exposure, but no apparent dose-response effect was observed for other indoor air pollutants. URI-TW in middle school children is most associated with reported allergen sensitivity, relative to other asthma risk factors and environmental exposures. Data from this investigation may be useful in developing assessment, screening, and targeting strategies to improve asthma and wheezing management in children.

description: Fission resulting from collision of atomic nuclei is systematically investigated based on time-dependent density functional calculations. Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is a framework, which enables us to treat quantum many-body dynamics with nucleon degrees of freedom. In this article a theoretical framework called Composite-Nucleus Constrained TDDFT is introduced, and charge equilibrium hypothesis for collision fission dynamics is examined.

description: DERIVED DATA FROM PAPER "Mitigating analytical variability in fMRI with style transfer"

Here are stored the data necessary to reproduce the full analysis of the paper "Mitigating analytical variability in fMRI with style transfer".

We propose a novel approach to improve the reproducibility of neuroimaging results by converting statistic maps across different functional MRI pipelines. We make the assumption that pipelines used to compute fMRI statistic maps can be considered as a style component and we propose to use different generative models, among which, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and Diffusion Models (DM) to convert statistic maps across different pipelines. We explore the performance of multiple GAN frameworks, and design a new DM framework for unsupervised multi-domain style transfer. We constrain the generation of 3D fMRI statistic maps using the latent space of an auxiliary classifier that distinguishes statistic maps from different pipelines and extend traditional sampling techniques used in DM to improve the transition performance. Our experiments demonstrate that our proposed methods are successful: pipelines can indeed be transferred as a style component, providing an important source of data augmentation for future medical studies.

Histogram of the number of shared participants between two groups for each pair of groups across the whole dataset. While shared participants between groups can impact our results by slightly over-estimating our performance, the impact is likely to be low due to the small number of shared participants (2.3 on average). In addition, this has no impact the conclusions of our study on the comparison of performance between different models as all models are trained and evaluated on the same sets of groups.

description: For a certain kind of tensor functor $F: \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$, we define the relative modular object $χ_F \in \mathcal{D}$ as the "difference" between a left adjoint and a right adjoint of $F$. Our main result claims that, if $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ are finite tensor categories, then $χ_F$ can be written in terms of a categorical analogue of the modular function on a Hopf algebra. Applying this result to the restriction functor associated to an extension $A/B$ of finite-dimensional Hopf algebras, we recover the result of Fischman, Montgomery and Schneider on the Frobenius type property of $A/B$. We also apply our results to obtain a "braided" version and a "bosonization" version of the result of Fischman et al.

description: Two samples of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) predominate in health effects research: an automobile-derived DEP (A-DEP) sample and the National Institute of Standards Technology standard reference material (SRM 2975) generated from a forklift engine. A-DEPs have been tested extensively for their effects on pulmonary inflammation and exacerbation of allergic asthmalike responses. In contrast, SRM 2975 has been tested thoroughly for its genotoxicity. In the present study, we combined physical and chemical analyses of both DEP samples with pulmonary toxicity testing in CD-1 mice to compare the two materials and to make associations between their physicochemical properties and their biologic effects. A-DEPs had more than 10 times the amount of extractable organic material and less than one-sixth the amount of elemental carbon compared with SRM 2975. Aspiration of 100 micro g of either DEP sample in saline produced mild acute lung injury; however, A-DEPs induced macrophage influx and activation, whereas SRM 2975 enhanced polymorphonuclear cell inflammation. A-DEPs stimulated an increase in interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha, macrophage inhibitory protein-2, and the TH2 cytokine IL-5, whereas SRM 2975 only induced significant levels of IL-6. Fractionated organic extracts of the same quantity of DEPs (100 micro g) did not have a discernable effect on lung responses and will require further study. The disparate results obtained highlight the need for chemical, physical, and source characterization of particle samples under investigation. Multidisciplinary toxicity testing of diesel emissions derived from a variety of generation and collection conditions is required to meaningfully assess the health hazards associated with exposures to DEPs. Key words: automobile, diesel exhaust particles, forklift, mice, pulmonary toxicity, SRM 2975.

description: The scattering of linear waves by periodic structures is a crucial phenomena in many branches of applied physics and engineering. In this thesis we establish rigorous analytic results necessary for the proper numerical analysis of a class of High–Order Perturbation of Surfaces/Asymptotic Waveform Evaluation (HOPS/AWE) methods for numerically simulating scattering returns from periodic diffraction gratings. More specifically, we prove a theorem on existence and uniqueness of solutions to a system of partial differential equations which model the interaction of linear waves with a periodic two–layer structure. Furthermore, we establish joint analyticity of these solutions with respect to both geometry and frequency perturbations. Additional analysis is performed in order to analyze any finite number of perturbation parameters. This result provides hypotheses under which a rigorous numerical analysis is performed. We extend our recently developed HOPS/AWE algorithm to utilize a stabilized numerical scheme. An implementation of this algorithm is described, validated, and utilized in a sequence of challenging and physically relevant numerical experiments.
Two point eigenvalue correlation for a class of non-selfadjoint operators under random perturbations

description: We consider a non-selfadjoint $h$-differential model operator $P_h$ in the semiclassical limit ($h\rightarrow 0$) subject to random perturbations with a small coupling constant $δ$. Assume that $\exp(-\frac{1}{Ch}) < δ\ll h^κ$ for constants $C,κ>0$ suitably large. Let $Σ$ be the closure of the range of the principal symbol. We study the $2$-point intensity measure of the random point process of eigenvalues of the randomly perturbed operator $P_h^δ$ and prove an $h$-asymptotic formula for the average $2$-point density of eigenvalues. With this we show that two eigenvalues of $P_h^δ$ in the interior of $Σ$ exhibit close range repulsion and long range decoupling.

description: Embryonic development in the sea urchin requires trophic actions of the same neurotransmitters that participate in mammalian brain assembly. We evaluated the development of the high-affinity choline transporter, which controls acetylcholine synthesis. A variety of developmental neurotoxicants affect this transporter in mammalian brain. [3H]Hemicholinium-3 binding to the transporter was found in the cell membrane fraction at stages from the unfertilized egg to pluteus, with a binding affinity comparable with that seen in mammalian brain. Over the course of development, the concentration of transporter sites rose more than 3-fold, achieving concentrations comparable with those of cholinergically enriched mammalian brain regions. Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), a competitive inhibitor of choline transport, elicited dysmorphology beginning at the mid-blastula stage, with anomalies beginning progressively later as the concentration of DMAE was lowered. Pretreatment, cotreatment, or delayed treatment with acetylcholine or choline prevented the adverse effects of DMAE. Because acetylcholine was protective at a lower threshold, the DMAE-induced defects were most likely mediated by its effects on acetylcholine synthesis. Transient removal of the hyaline layer enabled a charged transport inhibitor, hemicholinium-3, to penetrate sufficiently to elicit similar anomalies, which were again prevented by acetylcholine or choline. These results indicate that the developing sea urchin possesses a high-affinity choline transporter analogous to that found in the mammalian brain, and, as in mammals, the functioning of this transporter plays a key role in the developmental, trophic activity of acetylcholine. The sea urchin model may thus be useful in high-throughput screening of suspected developmental neurotoxicants.
