description: We present a 70ks Chandra observation of the radio galaxy 3C293. This galaxy belongs to the class of molecular hydrogen emission galaxies (MOHEGs) that have very luminous emission from warm molecular hydrogen. In radio galaxies, the molecular gas appears to be heated by jet-driven shocks, but exactly how this mechanism works is still poorly understood. With Chandra, we observe X-ray emission from the jets within the host galaxy and along the 100 kpc radio jets. We model the X-ray spectra of the nucleus, the inner jets, and the X-ray features along the extended radio jets. Both the nucleus and the inner jets show evidence of 10^7 K shock-heated gas. The kinetic power of the jets is more than sufficient to heat the X-ray emitting gas within the host galaxy. The thermal X-ray and warm H2 luminosities of 3C293 are similar, indicating similar masses of X-ray hot gas and warm molecular gas. This is consistent with a picture where both derive from a multiphase, shocked interstellar medium (ISM). We find that radio-loud MOHEGs that are not brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), like 3C293, typically have LH2/LX~1 and MH2/MX~1, whereas MOHEGs that are BCGs have LH2/LX~0.01 and MH2/MX~0.01. The more massive, virialized, hot atmosphere in BCGs overwhelms any direct X-ray emission from current jet-ISM interaction. On the other hand, LH2/LX~1 in the Spiderweb BCG at z=2, which resides in an unvirialized protocluster and hosts a powerful radio source. Over time, jet-ISM interaction may contribute to the establishment of a hot atmosphere in BCGs and other massive elliptical galaxies.

description: The paradigm of phenotypic plasticity indicates reversible relations of different cancer cell phenotypes, which extends the cellular hierarchy proposed by the classical cancer stem cell (CSC) theory. Since it is still question able if the phenotypic plasticity is a crucial improvement to the hierarchical model or just a minor extension to it, it is worthwhile to explore the dynamic behavior characterizing the reversible phenotypic plasticity. In this study we compare the hierarchical model and the reversible model in predicting the cell-state dynamics observed in biological experiments. Our results show that the hierarchical model shows significant disadvantages over the reversible model in describing both long-term stability (phenotypic equilibrium) and short-term transient dynamics (overshoot) of cancer cells. In a very specific case in which the total growth of population due to each cell type is identical, the hierarchical model predicts neither phenotypic equilibrium nor overshoot, whereas thereversible model succeeds in predicting both of them. Even though the performance of the hierarchical model can be improved by relaxing the specific assumption, its prediction to the phenotypic equilibrium strongly depends on a precondition that may be unrealistic in biological experiments, and it also fails to capture the overshoot of CSCs. By comparison, it is more likely for the reversible model to correctly describe the stability of the phenotypic mixture and various types of overshoot behavior.

description: Polystyrene (PS) capsules produced by General Atomics are useful to inertial confinement fusion work. Contact scratches caused by collisions between container asperities and PS capsules and beads are a prominent defect arising during the fabrication process, and reducing them would improve surface quality. This study analyzed various containers for the curing and washing stages of PS bead and capsule production. For the curing stage, plastic bottles were found to have lower scratch frequency and severity than glass flasks, indicating that they may be a better alternative. For the washing stage, plastic or Gel-Pak washing containers demonstrated no reduction in scratch frequency when compared to glass washing containers.

description: Avoiding access conflicts is a major challenge in the design of multi-threaded programs. In the context of real-time systems, the absence of conflicts can be guaranteed by ensuring that no two potentially conflicting accesses are ever scheduled concurrently.In this paper, we analyze programs that carry time annotations specifying the time for executing each statement. We propose a technique for verifying that a multi-threaded program with time annotations is free of access conflicts. In particular, we generate constraints that reflect the possible schedules for executing the program and the required properties. We then invoke an SMT solver in order to verify that no execution gives rise to concurrent conflicting accesses. Otherwise, we obtain a trace that exhibits the access conflict.

The Role of the Gut Microbiota in Mediating the Morphologic and Proliferative Changes Observed in Severely Calorie Restricted Mice
Creators: name: Vance, Nathan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Objectives: Previous studies have demonstrated that the severe calorie restriction experienced through severe acute malnutrition (SAM) decreases the capacity of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to absorb calories in the diet and influences the composition of the gut microbiota. Among those with SAM, enteric infection is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Previous studies conducted by the Carroll lab have suggested that increased susceptibility to enteric infection among those with SAM could be related to dysfunction in epithelial regeneration via intestinal stem cell (ISC) activity. Further, previous studies have demonstrated that microbiota directed foods promote growth using fewer calories than traditional methods, such as Ready to Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs). While RUTFs address many of the caloric and nutritional deficiencies in patients with SAM, refeeding strategies that prioritize epithelial regeneration are critical to reducing the mortality and morbidity associated with SAM and enteric infection. Additionally, the link between the microbiota and the promotion of epithelial regeneration in the GI tract has yet to be demonstrated. As such, we seek to demonstrate that ISC dysfunction is induced by severe calorie restriction. Further, given the link between severe calorie restriction and the composition of the gut microbiota, we also seek to demonstrate that microbes, particularly Ruminococcus gnavus, can prevent ISC dysfunction associated with severe acute malnutrition and provide protective effects against the phenotypes associated with SAM. 

Conclusion: Analysis of calorie restricted G. lamblia infected mice demonstrated that severe calorie restriction results in ISC dysfunction. ISC functionality is ameliorated following the reintroduction of ad libitum food to the diet. R. gnavus can protect against the ISC dysfunction and changes to GI morphology associated with severe calorie restriction. As such, the use of microbes such as R. gnavus in microbiota directed foods and probiotics should be considered to promote healthy recovery and protection from environmental enteropathy during recovery conditions that induce severe calorie restriction particularly to avoid ISC dysfunction.
The Relationship Between Sibling Position and Leadership Abilities

description: Sibling position is a core tenant of Bowen family system theory, proposing that the presence and/or type of sibling present in a household results in measurable differences in an individual's development and family functioning. Scholarship that explores the relationship between sibling position and leadership qualities is scant; however, the limited literature indicates that first-born siblings are better leaders than later-born siblings. The current study analyzed the data of 746 survey participants to explore the relationship between sibling positions and leadership qualities as described by two unique leadership inventories, an author-developed inventory describing Bowenian leadership traits and the Community Leadership Development Measure (CLDM). Key results indicated first-borns exhibit higher leadership characteristics on both inventories than later-borns but not only children. Furthermore, first-borns were found to have higher leadership averages with close-in-age younger siblings, while youngest siblings had higher leadership averages with no close-in-age older siblings. In models that included covariate variables, participants’ sexuality was a significant covariate in one while another model indicated a significant negative correlation between age and the Bowenian leadership inventory. Suggestions for future research, particularly among middle siblings and only children, are made.

description: We derive and study equations for dissipative transient processes in a constraint incommensurate charge density wave (CDW) with remnant pockets or a thermal population of normal carriers. The attention was paid to give the correct conservation of condensed and normal electrons, which was problematic at presence of moving dislocation cores if working within an intuitive Ginzburg-Landau like model. We performed a numeric modelling for stationary and transient states in a rectangular geometry when the voltage V or the normal current are applied across the conducting chains. We observe creation of an array of electronic vortices, the dislocations, at or close to the junction surface; their number increases stepwise with increasing V. The dislocation core strongly concentrates the normal carriers but the CDW phase distortions almost neutralize the total charge. At other regimes, the lines of the zero CDW amplitude flash across the sample working as phase slips. The studies were inspired by, and can be applied to experiments on mesa-junctions in NbSe3 and TaS3 (Yu.I. Latyshev et al in proceedings of ECRYS 2008 and 2011).

description: General Atomics-Carbon Hydrogen (GA-CH) and General Atomics-Carbon Deuterium (GA-CD) aerogels have applications as inertial confinement fusion (ICF) targets at the National Ignition Facility, Omega Laser Facility, and Z Pulsed Power Facility. However, fusion experiments at these facilities require the fabrication of precise geometries of aerogels, achievable only by machining. Unfortunately, machining low-density (<50 mg/cm3) GA-CH aerogels is difficult, given their fragile structure. Higher-density GA-CH aerogels, although easier to machine, are left with a small nub after machining. This work investigates filling the GA-CH gel pores with wax to increase their machinability. The wax was added by exchanging the solvent of the GA-CH gel with melted wax. In addition, 1- to 2-mm spherical voids were created within the aerogels using fused quartz beads that were leached with hydrofluoric acid. Samples were characterized for contaminants, structural damage, dopant loss, and surface roughness using size measurements, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, micro-computed tomography imaging, and optical profilometry. Through advances in aerogel fabrication techniques, progress is made toward testing new ICF target designs.

description: With strong gradients in the pedestal of high confinement mode (H-mode) fusion plasmas, gyrokinetic simulations are carried out for the trapped electron and ion temperature gradient modes. A broad class of unconventional mode structures is found to localize at arbitrary poloidal positions or with multiple peaks. It is found that these unconventional ballooning structures are associated with different eigen states for the most unstable mode. At weak gradient (low confinement mode or L-mode), the most unstable mode is usually in the ground eigen state, which corresponds to a conventional ballooning mode structure peaking in the outboard mid-plane of tokamaks. However, at strong gradient (H-mode), the most unstable mode is usually not the ground eigen state and the ballooning mode structure becomes unconventional. This result implies that the pedestal of H-mode could have better confinement than L-mode.

A Pathway-Level Information ExtractoR (PLIER) framework to gain mechanistic insights into obesity in Down syndrome
Creators: name: Costello, James
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Down syndrome (DS), caused by the triplication of chromosome 21 (T21), is a prevalent genetic disorder with a higher incidence of obesity. Traditional approaches have struggled to differentiate T21-specific molecular dysregulation from general obesity-related processes. This study introduces the omni-PLIER framework, combining the Pathway-Level Information ExtractoR (PLIER) with the omnigenic model, to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying obesity in DS. The PLIER framework aligns gene expression data with biological pathways, facilitating the identification of relevant molecular patterns. Using RNA sequencing data from the Human Trisome Project, omni-PLIER identified latent variables (LVs) significantly associated with both T21 and body mass index (BMI). Elastic net regression and causal mediation analysis revealed LVs mediating the effect of karyotype on BMI. Notably, LVs involving glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1) and MCL1 apoptosis regulator, BCL2 family member emerged as crucial mediators. These findings provide insights into the molecular interplay between DS and obesity. The omni-PLIER model offers a robust methodological advancement for dissecting complex genetic disorders, with implications for understanding obesity-related processes in both DS and the general population.

This repository contains the necessary scripts to reproduce the figures from A Pathway-Level Information ExtractoR (PLIER) framework to gain mechanistic insights into obesity in Down syndrome.

description: This paper examines the issue-based voting behavior of Latina women in presidential elections to learn why certain ethnic groups within the Latina community select a Republican candidate from 2008 to 2016. Following the 2020 election, this essay intends to bring attention to powerful voting blocs that had been overlooked in the past; i.e. Latina women. On a macro-scale, this essay evaluates the larger socio-demographic and policy-related reasons influencing a Latina woman's vote choice and comparing them to a black or white woman's reasons when voting for a specific candidate. This larger analysis uses survey responses from the American National Election Surveys that are conducted every two years. On a micro-scale, this paper isolates reasons why different ethnic groups within the Latina community select Republican candidates for President. I'm specifically looking at the three largest Latinx groups: individuals from Mexico, El Salvador, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. These responses are cateloged from the National Suvey of Latinos that has oversampled the Latinx community since the mid-1990s. Finally, this essay will reflect who is most most to least likely to vote for a Republican candidate based on the Racial Gradient Hypothesis, which predicts who is most to least likely to percieve injustice in the criminal justice system, with black individuals being the most likely and white indiviudals being the least likely.

description: LEGEND is an international collaboration searching for neutrinoless double beta decay in Ge76 utilizing well-understood germanium detector technology. To maximize the sensitivity of germanium-based neutrinoless double beta decay experiments, the ability to effectively differentiate single-site events from multi-site events through pulse shape discrimination is essential. This honors thesis describes an ongoing experimental process to characterize a proposed novel high purity germanium detector geometry called the Ring-Contact (RC) detector, which should have excellent pulse shape discrimination capabilities. The Prototyping and Testing Cryostat (PTC) in Room 002 of Phillips Hall has been readied. A string of two Broad Energy Germanium detectors was made and installed into the PTC; background energy spectra were then measured. An RC detector has been recently produced at Texas A&M University to be tested and characterized at UNC-Chapel Hill. The PTC is prepared to measure the energy spectra of this novel detector. The RC detector will then be characterized and assessed for possible use in the upcoming LEGEND-1000 experiment.

description: We study Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants in the context of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theories in $\left(3+1\right)$ dimensions with product $SU\left(2\right)$ gauge groups which have recently been considered by Gaiotto et al. We identify the precise context in which dessins arise in these theories: they are the so-called ribbon graphs of such theories at certain isolated points in the Coulomb branch of the moduli space. With this point in mind, we highlight connections to other work on trivalent dessins, gauge theories, and the modular group.

description: Hemiplegic patients often struggle with typing rapidly and accurately using a standard keyboard. This study developed a keyboard in continuous contact with the fingers, allowing for easier and more effective typing. With the proposed keyboard, the user types with their healthy hand and paralyzed hand. The hardware and software of the finger contact keyboard were investigated. In deciding the hardware, we measured the hand shape, finger speed, and muscle fatigue using electromyography, magnetic positioning sensors, and force sensors for eight participants. Using the Pareto solution, we optimized the keyboard’s structure to maximize finger movement speed and minimize muscle fatigue. As the software of the proposed keyboard, we developed an algorithm implementing a neural network to identify intentional typing and tested the algorithm on five participants. The highest average discrimination accuracy was 99.3% when the force threshold was approximately 1.32 N. The mean accuracy achieved using the neural network was 90.8%, which is higher than that achieved using the threshold algorithm (80.4%). In 40 trials, the proposed keyboard achieved the same accuracy and speed as the standard keyboard, and the input time for a patient with hemiplegia was reduced by 16.2%.
title: The structure/activity relationship of nitrobenzene hydrogenation over Pd/alumina catalysts

Subjects: subject: nitrobenzene, aniline, hydrogenation, gas-phase, palladium, alumina, infrared, CO chemisorption

description: The hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to form aniline is a large-scale industrial process performed using a variety of heterogeneous catalysts. One variant of the process involves the application of alumina-supported Pd catalysts. Although several 0.3 wt% Pd/alumina formulations exhibit high aniline selectivity (ca. 98%), different grades of these catalysts favour different impurities. It is observed that the impurities arise from different reaction pathways depending on the provenance of the catalyst. In order to investigate whether the origins of impurity formation are connected to catalyst structure, a series of Pd catalysts active for this reaction have been characterised by a variety of techniques: chemisorption measurements, X-Ray Diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Temperature-Programmed Desorption and Infrared spectroscopy. The low metal loading industrial grade catalysts are challenging to characterise and required a degree of analytical refinement. Temperature-programmed infrared measurements of the probe molecule carbon monoxide revealed morphological and energetic information that could be correlated with catalytic performance. This information constitutes part of a valuable feedback loop that enables specifications for the next generation of ultra-selective nitrobenzene hydrogenation catalysts to be determined.
An Initial Investigation of Disability on UNC-CH's Campus

description: Students with disabilities currently face a number of accessibility issues at postsecondary institutions. Accessibility issues can affect students’ physical, social, and emotional needs. The present investigation aims to begin the discovery into the unique barriers that students with disabilities face on UNC-CH’s campus and catalyze future research on the experiences of students with disabilities and potential solutions for found barriers. To determine if students with disabilities had similar barriers to those in existing literature, an exploratory and participatory investigation was conducted with the disability community on UNC-CH’s campus. The results were analyzed through the grouping and reporting of common themes. The results suggest that UNC-CH has similar and unique barriers experienced by the disability community. Based on these findings, UNC-CH administration and faculty should consider further investigations and interventions to address reported barriers.

description: People differ in their willingness to take risks. Recent work found that revealed preference tasks (e.g., laboratory lotteries)—a dominant class of measures—are outperformed by survey-based stated preferences, which are more stable and predict real-world risk taking across different domains. How can stated preferences, often criticised as inconsequential “cheap talk,” be more valid and predictive than controlled, incentivized lotteries? In our multimethod study, over 3,000 respondents from population samples answered a single widely used and predictive risk-preference question. Respondents then explained the reasoning behind their answer. They tended to recount diagnostic behaviours and experiences, focusing on voluntary, consequential acts and experiences from which they seemed to infer their risk preference. We found that third-party readers of respondents’ brief memories and explanations reached similar inferences about respondents’ preferences, indicating the intersubjective validity of this information. Our results help unpack the self perception behind stated risk preferences that permits people to draw upon their own understanding of what constitutes diagnostic behaviours and experiences, as revealed in high-stakes situations in the real world.
title: Points of departure: revisiting London in Dickens’s Our Mutual Friend
Creators: name: Roberts, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: Dickens’s last completed novel, Our Mutual Friend [1865], is most often studied as a conclusion to his literary career. Instead, this thesis focuses on this text as a transitional novel, not a terminal one. It analyzes how Dickens repurposes his former narrative patterns and tropes of the city in a society that was vastly different from the one he was writing in his earlier novels. I examine how Our Mutual Friend creates a multi-perspective view of London through its use of juxtaposition, fragmentation, and layering, which is representative of Dickens’s shifting focus to a broader range of perspectives and his new interpretation of the city, including his increasing belief that London in the late nineteenth century was a place lacking opportunity for its inhabitants. I analyze Our Mutual Friend’s differences, including how Dickens alters his representation of London, how he adjusts his use of the omniscient narrator, how he represents public and private spaces in the city, how he uses and represents the movement of male characters through London’s streets, how he moves away from a central protagonist, and how he treats women who actively navigate the public space of the city. Through a series of close readings, I compare these aspects of Our Mutual Friend to his earlier novels, most notably Oliver Twist [1837], David Copperfield [1849], Bleak House [1852], Little Dorrit [1855], and Great Expectations [1860]. While prior literary critics study Dickens’s representation of London through a biographical lens and cite him as the authority on literature of the Victorian city, my study takes a different approach by analyzing how his changing literary techniques make Our Mutual Friend a departure from his earlier novels.
Investigating the Role of Demographic Factors on Social-Communication and Play Scores for Autistic Children Before Intervention

description: Background:  Autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can impact everyday functioning through difficulties in social communication and interaction and restricted, repetitive behaviors. The current study investigated children involved in an ASAP intervention trial and associations between how demographic factors and social-communication and play skills. Methods: Researchers measured instances of social interaction, requesting, and joint attention during observational recordings. We compared social-communication and play scores with participants’ parent education, parent income, or race. Results: The One-Way ANOVAs indicated that there was a statistically significant relationship between race and joint attention, with white children scoring lower in this category than non-white children. There was also an unexpected negative relationship between income and social-communication skills and play skills. A linear regression between income and structured play assessment (SPA) scores shows a smaller but expected positive relationship. Limitations: Future research should account for the nesting effect from randomization of classrooms instead of individuals. Conclusions: Results from these studies in public schools can help identify areas that need increased autism resources to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. More research is needed on a representative sample to effectively improve the personalization of ASAP intervention strategies and to further the intervention’s general application.
