photosensitivity

description: Organic phototransistors can enable many important applications such as nonvolatile memory, artificial synapses, and photodetectors in next-generation optical communication and wearable electronics. However, it is still a challenge to achieve a big memory window (threshold voltage response ∆V ) for phototransistors. Here, a nanographene-based heterojunction phototransistor memory with large ∆V responses is reported. Exposure to low intensity light (25.7 µW cm ) for 1 s yields a memory window of 35 V, and the threshold voltage shift is found to be larger than 140 V under continuous light illumination. The device exhibits both good photosensitivity (3.6 × 10 ) and memory properties including long retention time (>1.5 × 10 s), large hysteresis (45.35 V), and high endurance for voltage-erasing and light-programming. These findings demonstrate the high application potential of nanographenes in the field of optoelectronics. In addition, the working principle of these hybrid nanographene-organic structured heterojunction phototransistor memory devices is described which provides new insight into the design of high-performance organic phototransistor devices.
If You Give a Quartet a Coaching

description: With this thesis, I suggest that chamber music coaching be considered a crucial learning objective
for music students of all ages and through my research, provide a document that will help guide
their learning processes. There is no lack of interest in the task of quartet coaching. Instead,
there is no organized material to facilitate formal study. Emerging chamber music coaches need a
resource that compiles the many issues that they will face in real coaching scenarios and
functional, tested solutions to these problems—a pedagogy that is comprised of methods, techniques,
and analyses.

description: I describe a method for synthesizing photometric passbands for use with current and future X-ray instruments. The method permits the standardisation of X-ray passbands and thus X-ray photometry between different instruments and missions. The method is illustrated by synthesizing a passband in the XMM-Newton EPIC pn which is similar to the ROSAT PSPC 0.5-2 keV band.

Putting a Face on Sans-Papiers Youth: Issues of Representation in Children's Literature
Creators: name: Jackson, Alice
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: In France and around the world, immigrants have always been seen as the “other”, a faceless, nameless, and powerless people. With the implementation of strict immigration policies, illegal immigrants in particular are constantly in hiding and have consequently fallen even deeper into the “other”. The children of sans-papiers are perhaps the most vulnerable section of this population because of their inability to tell their own story or speak out. Sans-papiers children live a practically invisible existence in order to protect themselves and their families from being deported and sent back to countries with which the children, more often than not, have no ties. Because sans-papiers youth are unable to represent themselves, the rest of society interacts with this population through media, the works of activist organizations, and literature.

description: In this paper, we present the Polylingual Labeled Topic Model, a model which combines the characteristics of the existing Polylingual Topic Model and Labeled LDA. The model accounts for multiple languages with separate topic distributions for each language while restricting the permitted topics of a document to a set of predefined labels. We explore the properties of the model in a two-language setting on a dataset from the social science domain. Our experiments show that our model outperforms LDA and Labeled LDA in terms of their held-out perplexity and that it produces semantically coherent topics which are well interpretable by human subjects.

COVID-19 Data Portal

description: BY-COVID Work Package 3 is focused on services for the discovery and integration of COVID-19 data by delivering a flexible, tiered metadata discovery system across different domains, metadata standards, and maturity/robustness levels of data sources. This will enable the linking of FAIR data and metadata on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, on other related viruses and diseases, and on socio-economic consequences, across research fields, from omics, clinical, and epidemiological research, to social sciences and humanities. Building on the metadata format developed in D3.1, in a series of work package meetings and a workshop, with participation from all other work packages, we have developed tools (example Validator), workflows (Semi-automated transfer of resource metadata from FAIRsharing to Covid-19 portal), and documentation and training (Training: Discoverability hackathon) to support the efficient integration of additional resources from a broad range of domains into the COVID-19 Data Portal as well as improved the end user facing COVID-19 Data Portal itself (Global search). This work establishes the basis for the further development of the COVID-19 Data Portal metadata discovery, and provides a path for integration of metadata from multi-domain partners in BY-COVID, as well as our ISIDORe sibling project, and other relevant external resources. To ensure smooth integration of partner provided metadata, we anticipate re-running our “Discoverability hackathon” in the future and will continue to evolve our metadata format and presentation of the COVID-19 Data Portal. We anticipate significant development and metadata modelling work for the use-case driven support of complex data sources in close collaboration with WPs 2, 4 and 5.

description: The quotient class of a non-archimedean field is the set of cosets with respect to all of its additive convex subgroups. The algebraic operations on the quotient class are the Minkowski sum and product. We study the algebraic laws of these operations. Addition and multiplication have a common structure in terms of regular ordered semigroups. The two algebraic operations are related by an adapted distributivity law.

description: We have used the Arecibo L-band Feed Array to map three regions, each of 5 square degrees, around the isolated galaxies NGC 1156, UGC 2082, and NGC 5523. In the vicinity of these galaxies we have detected two dwarf companions: one near UGC 2082, previously discovered by ALFALFA, and one near NGC 1156, discovered by this project and reported in an earlier paper. This is significantly fewer than the 15.4 $^{+1.7}_{-1.5}$ that would be expected from the field HI mass function from ALFALFA or the 8.9 $\pm$ 1.2 expected if the HI mass function from the Local Group applied in these regions. The number of dwarf companions detected is, however, consistent with a flat or declining HI mass function as seen by a previous, shallower, HI search for companions to isolated galaxies.We attribute this difference in Hi mass functions to the different environments in which they are measured. This agrees with the general observation that lower ratios of dwarf to giant galaxies are found in lower density environments.

description: This study aims to understand current broad-level initiatives led by government officials, United Nations agencies, product manufacturers, non-governmental organizations, and researchers that are serving the menstrual needs of adolescent girls in India. Specifically, this study looks at what partnerships have already been formed, utilized, or could be established, to enhance their menstrual knowledge and hygiene practices. The following objectives were investigated: (1) the current efforts of stakeholders groups; (2) the interests and positions of stakeholder groups in cross-collaborating with one another; and (3) the ways in which collaboration between stakeholder groups could best function sustainably.
Stable matter-wave soliton in the vortex core of a uniform condensate

description: We demonstrate a stable, mobile, dipolar or nondipolar three-dimensional matter-wave soliton in the vortex core of a uniform nondipolar condensate. All intra- and inter-species contact interactions can be repulsive for a strongly dipolar soliton. For a weakly dipolar or nondipolar soliton, the intra-species contact interaction in the soliton should be attractive for the formation of a compact soliton. The soliton can propagate with a constant velocity along the vortex core without any deformation. Two such solitons undergo a quasi-elastic collision at medium velocities. We illustrate the findings using realistic interactions in a mean-field model of binary $^{87}$Rb-$^{85}$Rb and $^{87}$Rb-$^{164}$Dy systems.
Characterizing Microbial Contaminants Flowing into Taylor’s Creek, North Carolina
Creators: name: Fisher, Kinsey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Increasing concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) have been linked to gastrointestinal diseases and other illnesses. Concentrations of FIB are increased in recreational waters following heavy rainfall events due to sources of fecal contamination stemming from the land such as septic systems, failing wastewater infrastructure, and pet and wildlife feces. This fecal contamination is conveyed to the receiving water system through stormwater pipes that can discharge the material into recreational waters. This study aims to characterize FIB concentrations in Taylor’s Creek, North Carolina as well as their association to heavy rainfall and the stormwater systems along The Town of Beaufort (ToB). The main focus of this study has been to investigate microbial contamination away from the larger, more prominent outfall pipes which are already being studied. FIB concentrations were characterized through three main sampling methods: grab sampling from Taylor’s creek, water and sediment sampling from manholes across ToB, and plume transect grab samples from various outfall pipes along Taylor’s Creek. FIB concentrations exceeded recreational water quality standards on multiple occasions during both wet and dry weather from water samples taken along Taylor’s Creek. During wet weather, Enterococcus spp. concentrations in Taylor’s Creek ranged from 5 to 624.4 MPN/100 mL, and E. coli concentrations ranged from non-detect to >6,600 MPN/100mL. In addition, samples from inside of the manholes along The ToB stormwater system contained high concentrations of FIB as well as indications of tidal intrusion, possibly resulting in corrosion of the stormwater systems over time. FIB concentrations decreased with increasing distance from outfall pipes during plume transect sampling and were positively correlated with nutrient concentrations. Taylor’s Creek seems to be impacted by discharge even away from noted stormwater outfall pipes, and high concentrations of FIB exist in the stormwater drainage system during dry weather, likely contributing to water quality impairment along Taylor’s Creek.
Phenomenological lifeworld research: A proposed phenomenological research methodology: With an application to the lifeworld of new migrants

description: The following assignment develops, justifies and applies a distinctive phenomenological research methodology: The phenomenological lifeworld research methodology. It is tailored to address a number of criticisms of existing phenomenological research methodologies put forward, most cogently, by phenomenological philosopher Dan Zahavi. Phenomenological lifeworld research: A proposed phenomenological research methodology has two primary aims. Firstly, it aims to develop a phenomenological research methodology that is demonstrably phenomenological. It sets out to justify all of its major components in relation to the philosophical-phenomenological tradition. Secondly, it aims to present itself in a manner that is clear enough to be understood and then applied by prospective phenomenological researchers, from a range of academic fields, with no philosophical background. The phenomenological lifeworld research methodology is centred around four pillars. Each of these pillars is distinctive and essential to the research process. Three are derived from elements within Max van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenological method (van Manen, 2016a, 2016b): the framing concept of the lifeworld, the adoption of insight cultivators within the interview process, and the use of five existentials to organise research and data analysis. The fourth pillar, inspired by Amedeo Giorgi’s call for phenomenological research to be a science (Giorgi, 2009), demands the inclusion of a series of propositions relating to the five existentials, which are to be tested through the interview phase of the research. The efficacy of the phenomenological lifeworld research methodology will be tested and assessed within the context of investigating the lifeworld of recent Russian migrants to Australia. The phenomenological lifeworld research methodology, after its application, will be demonstrated to be a robust, versatile methodology. Nonetheless, those areas of development will be highlighted in the final section of the assignment.

description: There is accumulating evidence that the reporting quality of biomedical research is poor and that this leads to substantial research waste. Since deficits in reporting quality create challenges when interpreting or replicating research findings, they are a significant problem that needs to be addressed. Poor quality reporting can impact upon subsequent research or even have downstream impacts upon clinical decision making and care of patients. One type of reporting issue is Spin, which refers to any practices related to the reporting of research which results in the findings appearing more favourable than justified by the results. Spin can involve misrepresentation and/or misinterpretation and occur both consciously or unconsciously. The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate the prevalence and severity of spin in RCTs on interventions for gynecologic diseases such as, but not limited to endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine leiomyomas, and ovarian cancer.

description: Aspects of the theory of characteristic modes, based on their variational formulation, are presented and an explicit form of a related functional, involving only currents in a spatial domain, is derived. The new formulation leads to deeper insight into the modal behavior of radiating structures as demonstrated by a detailed analysis of three canonical structures: a dipole, an array of two dipoles and a loop, cylinder and a sphere. It is demonstrated that knowledge of the analytical functional can be utilized to solve important problems related to the theory of characteristic modes decomposition such as the resonance of inductive modes or the benchmarking of method of moments code.

description: Task 3.3 from work package 3 “Service 2: Coupling, IO and workflows” offered to the weather and climate modelling community dedicated support to optimally use the following community tools: the OASIS3-MCT coupler, the XIOS IO server, and the Cylc workflow engine. Regarding OASIS3-MCT, support was granted to the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC, Norway) to implement a coupling between an ocean global configuration and two hemispheric sea ice models, setting the basis of a future NEMO-neXtSIM ocean/sea-ice coupled model. Support was also offered to the UK Meteorological Office (Met Office) to start the development of a 3D coupling between NEMO and the MEDUSA biogeochemistry module. Regarding XIOS, the support provided to the UK Met Office resulted in improved support for unstructured grid in XIOS, directly benefiting the next-generation atmospheric model LFRIC. Also, improvement of XIOS input functionality was realised in support of Mercator Océan (France), motivated by the need to efficiently ead in higher-frequency higher-resolution ERA5 reanalysis fields. Finally, Cylc developers helped two groups one at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling (ICM) in Poland and one at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) in UK, to use more efficiently the Cylc workflow engine in their respective Earth System Model and, for NCAS, to port it on a new architecture (ARCHER2).

title: The effect of a multi-component intervention with and without height-adjustable workstations on vascular and behavioural outcomes in contact centre call agents
Creators: name: Gavin, D
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2023

description: Background: In modern society, despite the health-enhancing benefits of physical activity (PA), the number of adults meeting the PA guidelines is low, with physical inactivity presented as the fourth leading cause of death globally. High sedentary behaviour (SB) levels are a risk factor for numerous chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. Furthermore, there is evidence that SB is associated with health independent of PA levels. In the UK, up to 4% of the UK population are employed within contact centres, and call agents sit for 90% of their working day. In comparison to traditional office workers, contact centre call agents have less autonomy over their working practices due to high call volumes and the need to be connected to their computer via a headset. This study evaluated the effect of a 12-week multicomponent PA and SB intervention with and without the provision of a sit-stand workstation on behavioural, vascular, and anthropometric outcomes in call centre workers. Methods: A two-arm, parallel-group, pilot randomised control trial was implemented in one contact centre in the North West of England. Participants were divided into two groups: i) a multi-level intervention group with the use of a sit-stand workstation (sit less and move more plus; (SLAMM+), and ii) a multi-level intervention group without a sit-stand workstation (SLAMM). Both groups received organisational, intrapersonal, and interpersonal support to sit less and move more, while the SLAMM+ group received the additional environmental component of a height-adjustable workstation. Data was collected at baseline (0 weeks) and 12 weeks. Assessments included flow-mediated dilation, blood pressure and anthropometrics and behavioural outcomes. Results: While no significant between-group differences were observed for vascular, behavioural or anthropometric outcomes after 12 weeks of intervention, the direction and magnitude of the adjusted change scores were favourable for the SLAMM+ group compared to the SLAMM group for total and prolonged occupational and daily sitting time, and occupational and daily standing time. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest the provision of a sit-stand workstation may be important for eliciting more favourable changes in behavioural outcomes in call centre workers with no changes in vascular outcomes. Future studies should aim to assess if replacing sitting with standing in call agents provides an adequate physiological stimulus to improve endothelial function in call agents.

description: Emissions from traditional cookstoves are a major health concern in developing world households. Improved cookstoves can reduce fuel use and pollutant emissions and here we compare three types of improved cookstoves widely used in Sub-Saharan Africa. These are a raised-bed charcoal stove, a rocket-type stove using wood and straw, and a gasifier stove. Laboratory measurements were made of the main gaseous pollutants, particle size distribution and composition. The genotoxicity of the particles was assessed using a comet assay. The rocket-type stove using dry wood had the highest emission factors for particulate matter and NOX. Emissions of CO and CH4 were a factor of 6–7 higher from the charcoal stove compared with the other stoves tested in this work, and also higher for burning high moisture wood. Fuel properties were critical for emitted particle size, and for the emissions of NOX, black carbon and organic matter.

description: Il «lago del cor» che si incontra ancor prima di superare la soglia delle «segrete cose» del regno degli inferi può essere letto e interpretato come un pulcer tropus posto ad impreziosire i versi esordiali della Commedia. Il che è sicuramente vero, ma l’universo semantico che accompagna l’immagine dantesca emerge in tutta la sua polisemica valenza non appena si rivolge lo sguardo oltre l’ambito della critica letteraria tout court e lo si lascia spaziare su piani che, a dispetto dalla tendenza tutta moderna verso un certo settorialismo, si riscoprono invece adiacenti e complementari nella figura creata da Dante.

description: We present the first experimental study of the double-quantum-well (DQW) system made of 2D layers with inverted energy band spectrum: HgTe. The magnetotransport reveals a considerably larger overlap of the conduction and valence subbands than in known HgTe single quantum wells (QW), which may be regulated by an applied gate voltage $V_g$. This large overlap manifests itself in a much higher critical field $B_c$ separating the range above it where the quantum peculiarities shift linearly with $V_g$ and the range below with a complicated behavior. In the latter case the $N$-shaped and double-$N$-shaped structures in the Hall magnetoresistance $ρ_{xy}(B)$ are observed with their scale in field pronouncedly enlarged as compared to the pictures observed in an analogous single QW. The coexisting electrons and holes were found in the whole investigated range of positive and negative $V_g$ as revealed from fits to the low-field $N$-shaped $ρ_{xy}(B)$ and from the Fourier analysis of oscillations in $ρ_{xx}(B)$. A peculiar feature here is that the found electron density $n$ remains almost constant in the whole range of investigated $V_g$ while the hole density $p$ drops down from the value a factor of 6 larger than $n$ at extreme negative $V_g$ to almost zero at extreme positive $V_g$ passing through the charge neutrality point. We show that this difference between $n$ and $p$ stems from an order of magnitude larger density of states for holes in the lateral valence band maxima than for electrons in the conduction band minimum. We interpret the observed reentrant sign-alternating $ρ_{xy}(B)$ between electronic and hole conductivities and its zero resistivity state in the quantum Hall range of fields on the basis of a calculated picture of magnetic levels in a DQW.

description: Background: Preschool children’s physical activity (PA) opportunities at child care centers present an opportunity to reduce the obesity epidemic’s spread into the youngest generation. Through interactions with outdoor learning environments and their teachers, children’s PA levels may be affected. This study investigated how the outdoor environment and teacher behaviors may influence children’s PA.
Methods: Participants included 3-5 year olds and teachers from 49 child care centers in North Carolina. Classrooms were observed for four days, and children wore accelerometers to measure PA. Teachers completed questionnaires examining PA-supportive behaviors. Seven outdoor environment features and five PA-supportive teacher behaviors were studied.
Results: Across all centers, children averaged 10.5 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per hour spent at child care. None of the outdoor environment features or teacher behaviors exhibited clear associations with children’s PA when examined individually or within comprehensive multivariable models.
Conclusion: Reliable models to predict children’s PA based on the outdoor environment and teacher behaviors examined could not be created. Children’s interactions with their teachers and outdoor environments are likely complex and require more individualized attention and better measures before being used as reliable predictors of children’s PA.

description: We report pulsed electron-spin resonance (ESR) measurements on an ensemble of Bismuth donors in Silicon cooled at 10mK in a dilution refrigerator. Using a Josephson parametric microwave amplifier combined with high-quality factor superconducting micro-resonators cooled at millikelvin temperatures, we improve the state-of-the-art sensitivity of inductive ESR detection by nearly 4 orders of magnitude. We demonstrate the detection of 1700 bismuth donor spins in silicon within a single Hahn echo with unit signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio, reduced to just 150 spins by averaging a single Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill sequence. This unprecedented sensitivity reaches the limit set by quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field instead of thermal or technical noise, which constitutes a novel regime for magnetic resonance.

description: This study examines the effects of technology-enacted abusive supervision, defined as subordinate perceptions of supervisor’s use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to engage in hostile communications. This research was designed to examine if technology-enacted abusive supervision has an impact on both the work and family domains. Integrating social exchange theory and conservation of resources theory, we theorize that technology-enacted abusive supervision enhances subordinate engagement in emotional labor which contributes to burnout, which then branches into two paths impacting both the work and family domains. Work outcomes studied include subordinate engagement in technology-enacted incivility. Family outcomes studied include the transmission of stress to the family domain and family undermining. Results demonstrate significant paths in both domains. Subordinate perceptions of technology-enacted abusive supervision are positively related to the engagement in technology-enacted incivility through the serial mediation of emotional labor and burnout. Additionally, subordinate perceptions of technology-enacted abusive supervision are positively related to family undermining at home for the subordinate through the serial mediation of emotional labor, burnout, and stress transmission. Future research and implications for practice are discussed.

Giurisprudenza comica

description: L’intervento allinea brevemente due campioni d’analisi, per la definizione di un campo d’indagine inquadrato dalla categoria di “giurisprudenza comica”, in rapporto a una legge considerata nel segno del “tragico”, in Carlo Goldoni e in William Shakespeare. Per il primo – col riflesso della sua esperienza di uomo di legge che diventa “autore di commedie” – si parte da una delle “tavole” autobiografiche che aprono l’edizione Pasquali, base della futura autobiografia, come chiave d’ingresso; per il secondo si considerano alcune opere che investono la questione della legge appunto in una prospettiva “comica”, attraverso un lieto fine che passa attraverso un impiego teatrale della giurisprudenza.

Predicting Adverse Drug Effects from Literature Assertions that Link Drugs to Targets and Targets to Effects
Creators: name: La, Mary K.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Adverse drug effects (ADEs) are a major reason for drug candidate failure in clinical trials; thus, it is critical to predict possible ADEs in the early stages of drug discovery. In this study, cheminformatics, bioinformatics, and data mining approaches were employed to integrate and analyze publicly-available pharmacological and clinical data with the goal of inferring novel associations between drugs, targets, and ADEs. A new database was created that integrated experimental drug-target binding data and known associations between drugs (7448 unique instances), targets (1280), and ADEs (4492) expressed as assertions found in the literature. Unreported associations between drugs, targets, and ADEs were inferred, and inferences were prioritized as testable hypotheses. As a proof of concept, an association was identified between paroxetine and thrombocytopenic purpura using a focused subset of ~47K top-ranked inferences published prior to the first reports confirming this association in 2013.
Given the increasing costs of bringing new drug entities to market, there is a strong need for cost-effective methods of identifying potential adverse effects of a drug candidate early on in the development process. The workflow presented here, based on free-access databases and an association-based inference scheme, has provided chemical-ADE inferences that have been validated post-hoc in literature case reports. With
refinement of prioritization schemes for the generated chemical-ADE inferences, this workflow may provide an effective computational method for the early detection of drug candidate ADEs.

description: The Multigap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) are gas ionization detectors with multiple gas sub-gaps made of resistive electrodes. The high voltage (HV) is applied on the outer surfaces of outermost resistive plates only, while the interior plates are left electrically floating. The presence of multiple narrow sub--gaps with high electric field results in faster signals on the outer electrodes, thus improving the detector's time resolution. Due to their excellent performance and relatively low cost, the MRPC detector has found potential application in Time-of-Flight (TOF) systems. Here we present the design, fabrication, optimization of the operating parameters such as the HV, the gas mixture composition, and, performance of six--gap glass MRPC detectors of area 27cm $\times$ 27 cm, which are developed in order to find application as trigger detectors, in TOF measurement etc. The design has been optimized with unique spacers and blockers to ensure a proper gas flow through the narrow sub-gaps, which are 250 $μ$m wide. The gas mixture consisting of R134A, Isobutane and SF$_{6}$, and the fraction of each constituting gases has been optimized after studying the MRPC performance for a set of different concentrations. The counting efficiency of the MRPC is about 95% at $17.9$ kV. At the same operating voltage, the time resolution, after correcting for the walk effect, is found to be about $219$ ps.

The Representation of Franco-American Identity in Folk Tales
Creators: name: Larson, Jacob
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: With the conclusion of the Seven Years’ War in 1763, the French living in America’s interior were culturally and linguistically isolated. Yet their subsequent interactions, as well as intermingling, with Black, American Indian, and Anglo-American populations made them a people who cannot be defined solely by French colonial heritage. This thesis seeks to examine how attributes of a prototypical “Franco-American” identity are reflected in the folk stories they told— stories that were collected by researchers in the early twentieth century, when these populations had been almost entirely assimilated into English-speaking American culture. Through an analysis of the protagonists and morals in the Franco-American oral tradition, as well as of the discourse inherent to folk storytelling itself, it will be shown that reading these stories provides a means of defining a people for whom there may exist no other single source that well reflects their diverse, multifaceted character.
