A Feasibility Study for the Detection of Airborne Legionella pneumophila Using The Polymerase Chain Reaction
Creators: name: Mukoda, Timothy J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: Current methods to sample and analyze bioaerosols require that organism viability and culturability be maintained. This can lead to an underestimation of airborne bacterial concentrations when the sampling method has inherent qualities which damage or kill fragile microbes. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and associated analytical techniques require only intact cellular DNA to identify organisms contained in a sample; thus eliminating the requirement to maintain viability and culturability. This investigation has shown it is feasible to capture airborne Legionella pneumophila using either an AGI-30 impinger or a polycarbonate membrane filter, and identify and quantify the organism using PCR coupled with reverse dot-blot hybridization analysis and/or gel electrophoresis. In addition, the comparison of plate counts with acridine orange direct counts (AODCs), underscored the fact that traditional methods of analysis underestimate airborne bacterial concentration.

description: The formation mechanism of ice banding in the system of freezing colloidal suspensions, which is of significance in frost heaving, ice-templating porous materials and biological materials, still remains a mystery. Recently, the theory of secondary nucleation and growth of ice has been proposed to explain the emergence of a new ice lens. However, this theory has not been quantitatively examined. Here, we quantitatively measured the initial interfacial undercooling of a new ice lens and the nucleation undercoolings of suspensions. We found that the interfacial undercooling can not satisfy the nucleation undercooling of ice and hence disprove the secondary nucleation mechanism for ice banding.

Bench-Scale Testing of a Magnetic Ion Exchange Resin for Removal of Natural Organic Material
Creators: name: Boyer, Treavor H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: The objective of this research was to compare enhanced coagulation with anion exchange for removal of disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors (i.e. natural organic matter (NOM) and bromide). Several anion exchange resins were evaluated for their capacity and rate of NOM and bromide removal. Treatment with a magnetic ion exchange resin (MIEX) was the primary focus of this study. Raw waters from four utilities in California were evaluated. The waters had low turbidity, low to moderate organic carbon concentrations, a wide range of alkalinities, and moderate to high bromide ion concentrations. Large volumes of treated water were generated using the appropriate doses of alum and MIEX as determined by preliminary jar-tests. The treated waters were compared based on removal of ultraviolet (UV) absorbance, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP), and haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP). All four bromine- and chlorine-containing THMs (THM4) and all nine bromine- and chlorine-containing HAAs (HAA9) were analyzed. The waters were also fractionated before and after treatment to determine the molecular weight distribution and hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the DOC. The results indicated that treatment with MIEX is more effective than coagulation at removing UV absorbance and DOC. Treatment with MIEX and treatment with MIEX followed by coagulation yielded similar results, suggesting that treatment with MIEX removes a wide fraction of organic matter including the fraction preferentially removed by coagulation. MIEX treatment reduced the THM4FP and HAA9FP in all waters, and did so to a greater extent than coagulation. Treatment with MIEX was most effective in raw waters having a high specific UV absorbance(SUVA) and a low anionic composition. Following MIEX treatment and subsequent chlorination, there was a shift to the more brominated THM and HAA species as compared to chlorination of the raw water. MIEX also removed bromide to varying degrees, depending on the raw water alkalinity and initial bromide ion concentration. Treatment with MIEX removed a greater amount and a wider range of organic acid fractions and molecular weight fractions than coagulation. Based on kinetic studies, MIEX resin showed the fastest rate of removal of UV absorbance and DOC compared to three other traditional ion exchange resins that also exhibited a high capacity for removal of UV-absorbing materials and DOC.

Deontological and utilitarian inclinations
Creators: name: Macko, Anna
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: According to the principle of deontology, the morality of an action depends on actions properties – whether it is consistent with norms, while according to the principle of utilitarianism, morality of an action depends on its consequences – morally superior are those actions that bring about the best overall consequences. Consequently, judgments in sacrificial dilemmas that align with the principle of deontology are called deontological, while judgments that align with the principle of utilitarianism as utilitarian. Many studies have tried to identify psychological processes inclining people to endorse deontological or utilitarian judgments when facing moral dilemmas. The present research examined the impact of motivational factors: contingencies of people’s self-worth on the strength of deontological and utilitarian inclinations. Study 1 (N = 147) found positive correlations between two contingencies of self-worth: basing one’s self-worth on being a virtuous, moral person (Virtue) and outperforming others (Competition), and the strength of deontological inclinations and utilitarian inclinations respectively. Studies 2 (N = 98) and 3 (N = 196) found that increasing the saliency of Virtue as a source of one’s self-worth selectively increased the strength of deontological inclinations, leaving utilitarian inclinations unchanged, while the opposite was true for increasing saliency of Competition as a source of self-worth and the strength of utilitarian inclinations: such priming increased utilitarian inclinations while deontological inclinations remained unchanged.

description: Physical geometry and optical properties of objects are correlated: cylinders focus light to a line, spheres to a point, and arbitrarily shaped objects introduce optical aberrations. Multi-functional components with decoupled geometrical form and optical function are needed when specific optical functionalities must be provided while the shapes are dictated by other considerations like ergonomics, aerodynamics, or esthetics. Here we demonstrate an approach for decoupling optical properties of objects from their physical shape using thin and flexible dielectric metasurfaces which conform to objects' surface and change their optical properties. The conformal metasurfaces are composed of silicon nano-posts embedded in a polymer substrate that locally modify near-infrared ($\itλ$ = 915 nm) optical wavefronts. As proof of concept, we show that cylindrical lenses covered with metasurfaces can be transformed to function as aspherical lenses focusing light to a point. The conformal metasurface concept is highly versatile for developing arbitrarily shaped multi-functional optical devices.

It can be viewed as an analogue of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation in the ultra-short pulse regime. Furthermore, we construct the multi-dark soliton solution for the defocusing complex short pulse equation through the Darboux transformation and reciprocal (hodograph) transformation. One- and two-dark soliton solutions are given explicitly, whose properties and dynamics are analyzed and illustrated.

Weak additivity principle for current statistics in d-dimensions

description: The additivity principle (AP) allows to compute the current distribution in many one-dimensional (1d) nonequilibrium systems. Here we extend this conjecture to general d-dimensional driven diffusive systems, and validate its predictions against both numerical simulations of rare events and microscopic exact calculations of three paradigmatic models of diffusive transport in d=2. Crucially, the existence of a structured current vector field at the fluctuating level, coupled to the local mobility, turns out to be essential to understand current statistics in d>1. We prove that, when compared to the straightforward extension of the AP to high-d, the so-called weak AP always yields a better minimizer of the macroscopic fluctuation theory action for current statistics.

The Availability of Water and Sanitation Facilities in Schools Contributing to Health and Educational Outcomes: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Jasper, Christian Ashley
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: A systematic literature review on the effects of water and sanitation provision in the school environment was performed. The goal of the review was to more fully characterize the benefits of water and sanitation in schools. This study has particular relevance in light of reports from communities on water and sanitation inadequacies in schools. Ultimately, forty-four papers met the inclusion criteria of exploring any effects of the provision or lack of provision of water and sanitation facilities in schools. The studies presented strong evidence for the provision of water for drinking in schools leading to adequate hydration, related to effects on cognitive abilities, continence issues, and potentially obesity. Evidence for the effect of handwashing services on outcomes of illness and absenteeism was supported and likewise for the effects of sanitation and sanitation services for menstruation. Strong evidence for the availability of the combination of water and sanitation services relating to outcomes of illness and absenteeism was found. The area of water and sanitation provision in schools has been widely addressed in peer-reviewed literature.

An assessment of the "too big to fail" problem for field dwarf galaxies in view of baryonic feedback effects
Creators: name: Papastergis, Emmanouil
name: Shankar, Francesco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent studies have established that extreme dwarf galaxies --whether satellites or field objects-- suffer from the so called "too big to fail" (TBTF) problem. Put simply, the TBTF problem consists of the fact that it is difficult to explain both the measured kinematics of dwarfs and their observed number density within the LCDM framework. The most popular proposed solutions to the problem involve baryonic feedback processes. For example, reionization and baryon depletion can decrease the abundance of halos that are expected to host dwarf galaxies. Moreover, feedback related to star formation can alter the dark matter density profile in the central regions of low-mass halos. In this article we assess the TBTF problem for field dwarfs, taking explicitly into account the baryonic effects mentioned above. We find that 1) reionization feedback cannot resolve the TBTF problem on its own, because the halos in question are too massive to be affected by it, and that 2) the degree to which profile modification can be invoked as a solution to the TBTF problem depends on the radius at which galactic kinematics are measured. Based on a literature sample of about 90 dwarfs with interferometric observations in the 21cm line of atomic hydrogen (HI), we conclude that the TBTF problem persists despite baryonic effects. However, the preceding statement assumes that the sample under consideration is representative of the general population of field dwarfs. In addition, the unexplained excess of dwarf galaxies in LCDM could be as small as a factor of ~ 1.8, given the current uncertainties in the measurement of the galactic velocity function. Both of these caveats highlight the importance of upcoming uniform surveys with HI interferometers for advancing our understanding of the issue.

Drinking Water Quality and Health: Stakeholder Risk Perception
Creators: name: Spring, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: In a world where decisions are made based on incomplete information, perceptions make a key contribution in decision-making; yet there is no empirical evidence on current perceptions, or drivers of perception, in the global drinking water sector. Anecdotal evidence, research from other sectors and risk perception theory all suggest that perceptions of experts are subjective and influenced by characteristics of percipients, characteristics of risk objects and actual risk information. The aim of this study was to add to the body of knowledge on current perceptions, by supplying relevant background information on risk perception theory and research, collecting current perceptions of experts in the global drinking water sector, and beginning to examine the drivers of perception in this sector. Perceptions of 202 experts from the water sectors of over 52 countries were collected through surveys. Results show current perceptions and compare perceptions to actual, region- and country-specific risk information, showing similarities in perceptions and actual risk. Results from an ordered logistic regression, applying a model formulated from risk perception theory to the data, demonstrate that perceptions on 13 of 31 risks in the global drinking water sector are driven by percipient characteristics. These findings have implications on a global level, for policy-making and programming. To start, these findings suggest that a low risk perception related to hygiene practices in Latin America and South Asia is hindering national target setting and research-based program development. Further research should study the effects of outrage factors on risk perception in the sector.

description: We present analysis of time-variable, shifted absorption features in far-UV spectra of the unusual 49 Ceti debris disk. This nearly edge-on disk is one of the brightest known, and is one of the very few containing detectable amounts of circumstellar gas as well as dust. In our two visits of Hubble Space Telescope STIS spectra, variable absorption features are seen on the wings of lines arising from C II and C IV, but not for any of the other circumstellar absorption lines. Similar variable features have long been seen in spectra of the well-studied $β$ Pictoris debris disk and attributed to the transits of star-grazing comets. We calculate the velocity ranges and apparent column densities of the 49 Cet variable gas, which appears to be moving at velocities of tens to hundreds of km s$^{-1}$ relative to the central star. The velocities of the gas in the redshifted variable event in Visit 2 show that the maximum distances of the infalling gas at the time of transit are about 0.05 to 0.2 AU from the central star. A preliminary attempt at a composition analysis of the redshifted event suggests that the C/O ratio in the infalling gas may be super-solar, as it is in the bulk of the stable disk gas.

description: We study the Z_N symmetry in SU(N)+Higgs theories with the Higgs field in the fundamental representation. The distributions of the Polyakov loop show that the Z_N symmetry is explicitly broken in the Higgs phase. On the other hand, inside the Higgs symmetric phase the Polyakov loop distributions and other physical observables exhibit the Z_N symmetry. This effective restoration of the Z_N symmetry changes the nature of the confinement-deconfinenement transition. We argue that the Z_N symmetry will lead to time independent topological defect solutions in the Higgs symmetric deconfined phase which will play important role at high temperatures.

21-cm signature of the first sources in the Universe: Prospects of detection with SKA

description: Currently several low-frequency experiments are being planned to study the nature of the first stars using the redshifted 21-cm signal from the cosmic dawn and epoch of reionization. Using a one-dimensional radiative transfer code, we model the 21-cm signal pattern around the early sources for different source models, i.e., the metal-free Population III (PopIII) stars, primordial galaxies consisting of Population II (PopII) stars, mini-QSOs and high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). We investigate the detectability of these sources by comparing the 21-cm visibility signal with the system noise appropriate for a telescope like the SKA1-low. Upon integrating the visibility around a typical source over all baselines and over a frequency interval of 16 MHz, we find that it will be possible to make a $\sim 9-σ$ detection of the isolated sources like PopII galaxies, mini-QSOs and HMXBs at $z \sim 15$ with the SKA1-low in 1000 hours. The exact value of the signal to noise ratio (SNR) will depend on the source properties, in particular on the mass and age of the source and the escape fraction of ionizing photons. The predicted SNR decreases with increasing redshift. We provide simple scaling laws to estimate the SNR for different values of the parameters which characterize the source and the surrounding medium. We also argue that it will be possible to achieve a SNR $\sim 9$ even in the presence of the astrophysical foregrounds by subtracting out the frequency-independent component of the observed signal. These calculations will be useful in planning 21-cm observations to detect the first sources.

Evaluation of GAC for Removal of Precursors to Chlorine Disinfection By-Products
Creators: name: Hughes, Catherine A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: A series of Rapid, Small-Scale Column Tests, or RSSCTs, was conducted to investigate the removal of NOM (Natural Organic Matter) from a drinking water supply for Fayetteville, North Carolina, and the subsequent formation of disinfection by-products. Disinfection by-products, in particular, trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), are of concern due to the Stage 1 of the USEPA D/DBP (Disinfection/Disinfection By-Product Rule) rule which reduced the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for THMs from 100 μg/L to 80 μg/L and set the MCL for HAAs at 60 μg/L. For the sample water tested, it was found that THMs were produced in higher concentrations than HAAs. For the feed water used, the HAA5 concentration never reached the current MCL of 60 μg/L. For the RSSCTs conducted, 70% breakthrough times for TOC (Total Organic Carbon) ranged from approximately 70 days to 150 days for a 10 minute EBCT and 125 days to 200 days for a 20 minute EBCT. In addition to the RSSCT, adsorption isotherms were conducted for each seasonal sample of water. The adsorption isotherm was used to assess the variability of NOM adsorption between seasons. Also, the isotherm results were used in the logistic function model to describe the breakthrough curves of NOM from the RSSCT. These isotherm data were used estimate service times for a GAC (Granular Activated Carbon) bed to reach the regulatory limit for TTHM. Using this method, service times until TTHM breakthrough ranged from 73 days to 117 days for a 10 minute EBCT and 151 days to 159 days for a 20 minute column.

Can we use the Market Basket Analysis model to identify the key associations of customer purchases?
customer purchases Analysis
Market Basket Analysis model to analyze customers' purchases and identify the key associations, providing recommendations.

description: The Market Basket Analysis is a modeling technique used by retailers to increase sales by better understanding customer purchasing patterns. The Market Basket Analysis analyzes the data set such as purchase transactions history to reveal product groupings and products likely to be purchased together. (TechTarget 2021) In Market Basket Analysis, association rules are used to predict the likelihood of products being purchased together. Associations rules count the frequency of items that occur together, finding an association that occurs far more often than expected. (TechTarget 2021)
description: Market Basket Analysis is that the joint occurrence of two or more products in most baskets implies that these products are complements in the purchase. Therefore, the purchase of one goes leads to the purchase of others; in this study. (WordPress 2021)

description: The EUREMAP project aims to optimise the marine bioprospecting workflow within the European research community, enabling state-of-the-art research and enhanced capacity for academia and industry. This will be achieved by building upon the existing expertise available within the consortium members (EU-OPENSCREEN, EMBL, EMBRC, ELIXIR) to synergise capacities and resources to enhance marine bioprospecting for natural products. The EUREMAP platform to be developed will consist of a new multidisciplinary marine bioprospecting workflow that integrates the existing technical capacities, thereby increasing the competitiveness of marine natural products in drug discovery and strengthening the blue bioeconomy in line with the European blue growth strategy. The functioning EUREMAP marine bioprospecting workflow will support the discovery of novel bioactive natural products from marine organisms by utilising novel technology to improve the capacity of European Research infrastructures (RIs).

The multidisciplinary nature of the marine bioprospecting research space necessarily requires integrating data flows between disparate research fields. As such, while data management components within disciplines may be in place, they may not be adequately formulated to provide the basis for a cohesive and integrated data workflow. Consequently, the current Data Management Plan (DMP) is a living document that is continuously revised as the project proceeds, and the envisaged marine bioprospecting workflow is clarified and finalised. The DMP distinguishes internally produced project data (e.g. deliverables, meeting notes, agendas, etc.) and the data directly applicable to the functioning of the final workflow in production (e.g. sample metadata, DNA sequence data, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), etc.). Because the marine bioprospecting workflow is seen as having multiple entry and exit points, data management practices must be aligned between adjoining workflow technical components and service providers. The first draft of the DMP circumscribes the proposed data management practices based on an initial interpretation of results gathered from the beneficiaries in a “Survey of current data management practices” (M11.1). The survey results will ultimately provide the basis for the Deliverables 11.2 Status of the EUREMAP Open Science policy and 12.1 Data Interoperability Roadmap. At all stages of the project and throughout the implementation of the marine bioprospecting workflow, Open Science practices will be adhered to, and FAIR data practices will be followed whenever possible, subject to the requirements implied by ethically and commercially sensitive data.

description: The density field reconstruction technique, which was developed to partially reverse the nonlinear degradation of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in the galaxy redshift surveys, has been successful in substantially improving the cosmology constraints from recent galaxy surveys such as Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We estimate the efficiency of the reconstruction method as a function of various reconstruction details. To directly quantify the BAO information in nonlinear density fields before and after reconstruction, we calculate the cross-correlations (i.e., propagators) of the pre(post)-reconstructed density field with the initial linear field using a mock galaxy sample that is designed to mimic the clustering of the BOSS CMASS galaxies. The results directly provide the BAO damping as a function of wavenumber that can be implemented into the Fisher matrix analysis. We focus on investigating the dependence of the propagator on a choice of smoothing filters and on two major different conventions of the redshift-space density field reconstruction that have been used in literature. By estimating the BAO signal-to-noise for each case, we predict constraints on the angular diameter distance and Hubble parameter using the Fisher matrix analysis. We thus determine an optimal Gaussian smoothing filter scale for the signal-to-noise level of the BOSS CMASS. We also present appropriate BAO fitting models for different reconstruction methods based on the first and second order Lagrangian perturbation theory in Fourier space. Using the mock data, we show that the modified BAO fitting model can substantially improve the accuracy of the BAO position in the best fits as well as the goodness of the fits.
