Narrating Post-Conflict Resilience: Memory and Identity in Uganda's Jewish Community
Creators: name: Nemer, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: As unknown as the Abayudaya had seemed prior to my time with the community,
during my stay in Nabugoye I met many Jewish visitors who would stop for a short time
with the Abayudaya before continuing their Ugandan travels. Though in a rural village, it
is not uncommon to see vans of Jewish mzungus from Israel or the United States winding
their way up Nabugoye Hill on Friday evenings, coming to spend their Sabbath at Moses
Synagogue (see A.2). They come interested in the novelty of the “Jews in Africa” and
their unique story of self-motivated conversion to Judaism. These visitors and even the
presence of the synagogue represent the most recent chapter in the Abayudaya’s nearly
100-year history. Just a generation ago President Idi Amin Dada banned the practice of
Judaism in Uganda in an effort to eliminate Zionist sentiments from the region. Since the
1979 overthrow of Amin, the community has worked to strengthen its communal
religious identity while solidifying its place within Judaism’s transnational community.
This thesis evaluates the manifestation of that religious identity through an analysis of the
Abayudaya’s conflict memories. In an effort to empower the community, the Abayudaya
draw from their own history as well as from themes within Jewish traditions, weaving a
narrative of the community’s mythic survival. Through these stories of oppression and
subsequent resilience, the Abayudaya community validates its religious identity in
context of transnational experiences of conflict.

Exact Analysis of the Response of Quantum Systems to Two Photons Using a QSDE Approach
Creators: name: Pan, Yu

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce the quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE) approach to exactly analyze of the response of quantum systems to a continuous-mode two-photon input. The QSDE description of the two-photon process allows us to integrate the input-output analysis with the quantum network theory, and so the analytical computability of the output state of a general quantum system can be addressed within this framework. We show that the time-domain two-photon output states can be exactly calculated for a large class of quantum systems including passive linear networks, optomechanical oscillators and two-level emitter in waveguide systems. In particular, we propose to utilize the results for the exact simulation of the stimulated emission as well as the study of the scattering of two-mode photon wave packets.

description: The Kepler spacecraft provides new opportunities to search for long term frequency and amplitude modulations of oscillation modes in pulsating stars. We ana- lyzed nearly two years of uninterrupted data obtained with this instrument on the DBV star KIC 08626021 and found clear signatures of nonlinear resonant mode coupling af- fecting several triplets. The behavior and timescales of these amplitude and frequency modulations show strong similarities with theoretical expectations. This may pave the way to new asteroseismic diagnostics, providing in particular ways to measure for the first time linear growth rates of pulsation modes in white dwarf stars.
Super-Resolution Sparse MIMO-OFDM Channel Estimation Based on Spatial and Temporal Correlations

description: This letter proposes a parametric sparse multiple input multiple output (MIMO)-OFDM channel estimation scheme based on the finite rate of innovation (FRI) theory, whereby super-resolution estimates of path delays with arbitrary values can be achieved. Meanwhile, both the spatial and temporal correlations of wireless MIMO channels are exploited to improve the accuracy of the channel estimation. For outdoor communication scenarios, where wireless channels are sparse in nature, path delays of different transmit-receive antenna pairs share a common sparse pattern due to the spatial correlation of MIMO channels. Meanwhile, the channel sparse pattern is nearly unchanged during several adjacent OFDM symbols due to the temporal correlation of MIMO channels. By simultaneously exploiting those MIMO channel characteristics, the proposed scheme performs better than existing state-of-the-art schemes. Furthermore, by joint processing of signals associated with different antennas, the pilot overhead can be reduced under the framework of the FRI theory.

Analysis of Potential Anticoagulants by Conventional Assays
Creators: name: Keller, Catherine York
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Blood clots affect over half a million Americans each year and have a high
mortality rate. Current anticoagulants have been historically successful, but can
dangerously increase bleeding risk. Using chromogenic substrate assays, I tested almost
1,000 compounds from the Tidwell library of cationic compounds and analyzed their
ability to inhibit five specific coagulation proteases that are involved in blood clot
formation. A small number of promising compounds inhibited only one coagulation
enzyme. Another member of my lab performed Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated
Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) assays for each of these compounds. Further
analysis showed that the compounds that were deemed successful in the PT and APTT
had very little overlap with those that successfully inhibited only one coagulation
enzyme. These results suggest that current clinical assay methods may not be ideal
indicators of thrombotic state. These studies provide useful insight into how to assess
successful anticoagulants and will ideally result in a new therapeutic antithrombotic.

description: With the pressing need for alternative waste management strategies that are friendly to the environment, black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are being cultivated as exceptional insects for the bioconversion of organic waste into larval biomass rich in protein and fat content. Agricultural residues, such as wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse are recognised as important renewable biomass sources, with potential to replace insufficient amount of suitable organic wastes available for BSFL feeding. This study evaluated the steam pre-treatment from 140 to 215 ℃ and enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocelluloses as BSFL feed supplement prior to blending in an equal ratio (50:50) with the standard feed for BSFL rearing. Key findings illustrated that steam pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis are vital in liberating the sugar monomers of the lignocellulose biomass for BSFL utilisation, with an optimum steam pre-treatment temperature of 185 ℃. With a lignocellulosic feed prepared at this temperature plus supplemented standard feed, a BSFL dry-weight bioconversion of 16% was achieved in 8 to 11 days of rearing. The inhibitory by-products formed by degradation of lignocelluloses during pre-treatment had a significantly negative effect on the rearing of the BSFL, particularly a furan concentration of 0.2 g/L, which should be investigated for efficient BSFL rearing. Finally, the crude protein content in the BSFL reared on the standard feed was higher than the feed substrate supplemented with lignocellulose. This study demonstrated the need for process optimisation and component supplements in the BSFL feed substrates that contain lignocellulosic feedstocks.

Year: 2017

description: Patient specific computational models of aortic valve and root dynamics
are useful tools for the development of precise treatment schemes. Each year
thousands of people worldwide undergo procedures relating to diseased valves.
Applying such technology in resource constrained areas to improve the quality
of care is a moral imperative for researchers in the field to construct a smaller
care differential in global health care quality. However, model construction
is a difficult process due to a combination of unstructured input data and
heterogeneous computation environments. In this work, we develop a patient
specific aortic root model while considering applications for testing medical
devices. We further describe a novel method for model construction. We
discuss the process of development and implementation of these models as
well as the results of the computations.

description: We investigate the prospects for joint low-latency gravitational wave (GW) detection and prompt electromagnetic (EM) follow-up observations of coalescing binary neutron stars (BNSs). For BNS mergers associated with short duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), we for the first time evaluate the feasibility of rapid EM follow-ups to capture the prompt emission, early engine activity or reveal any potential by-products such as magnetars or fast radio bursts. To achieve our goal, we first simulate a population of coalescing BNSs using realistic distributions of source parameters and estimate the detectability and localisation efficiency at different times before merger. We then use a selection of facilities with GW follow-up agreements in place, from low-frequency radio to high energy $γ$-ray to assess the prospects of prompt follow-up. We quantify our assessment using observational SGRB flux data extrapolated to be within the horizon distances of the advanced GW interferometric detectors LIGO and Virgo and to the prompt phase immediately following the binary merger. Our results illustrate that while challenging, breakthrough multi-messenger science is possible with EM follow-up facilities with fast responses and wide fields-of-view. We demonstrate that the opportunity to catch the prompt stage ($

Expression of two isoforms of the MHC Class I gene DN14290 was significantly affected by experimental day and the interaction between experimental day and infection status (isoform 18), and experimental day (isoform 23). Expression of the MHC Class II gene DN4350 was significantly affected by vaccination strategy, infection, experimental day, the interaction between vaccination strategy and infection, and the interaction between infection and experimental day. Changes in gene expression were evaluated with ANOVA-type tests of f2.ld.f1 linear models of gene expression.

Exploiting the solution properties and the involved multinomial Mittag-Leffler functions, we improve the weak maximum principle for the multi-term time-fractional diffusion equation to a stronger one, which is parallel to that for its single-term counterpart as expected. As a direct application, we prove the uniqueness for determining the temporal component of the source term with the help of the fractional Duhamel's principle for the multi-term case.

Exploring a Design Space of Schemes for Detecting Programming Difficulty from Interaction Logs
Creators: name: Wang, Kun
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Detection of programming difficulty can be used effectively in various settings to promote learning and instruction. This project extends existing work on programmer difficulty detection from Eclipse and web logs by developing and evaluating a design space of difficulty detection schemes. Each scheme in the design space consists of mapping from input vectors to a set of classifier attributes, difficulty classifiers that make inferences based on these attributes, and sampling techniques to address class imbalance. The schemes draw attributes from the following attribute set: edit, insertion, deletion, focus, navigate, debug, and web access. They differ based on (a) mapping of input vectors to attribute set, (b) difficulty classifiers, and (c) sampling techniques. The schemes are evaluated with 10 fold cross-validation and leave-one-out participant model validation techniques. Our analysis shows that different schemes are appropriate for different applications of difficulty detection. Schemes with J48 decision tree are the most capable of accurately prediction true negatives, not stuck, and should be employed in real-time code collaboration to minimize false alarms and wasting the helper’s time. In comparison, schemes with AdaBoost.M1 using Decision Stump as weak classifier have a high true positive accuracy, and should instead be prioritized in API testing and difficulty stuck points studies as positive, stuck, points often indicate major issues with design.

Hungry and Afraid: The effects of starvation on the foraging behavior of Panopeus herbstii in the presence of a higher-order predator
Creators: name: Hughes, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: This study utilizes an experimentally simulated three-tiered trophic chain between
Menippe mercenaria (stone crabs), Panopeus herbstii (marsh mud crabs), and juvenile
Mercenaria mercenaria (quahog clams), to analyze the influence of hunger on mesopredator
foraging behavior in the presence and absence of a higher-order predator as predicted by
principles of the ecology of fear and the optimal foraging theory. A 2x2 factorial design utilizing
P. herbstii that were subjected to 7-day starvation or fed 30 minutes before the each experiment
in combination with or without a stone crab, or a “fear factor,” was used to analyze biomass
consumption and prey size selection differences influenced by hunger and fear response. The
optimal size class of juvenile clams selected was also predicted by generating a curve of net kcal
gained during experiments by subtracting kcal expended during crushing from kcal of soft tissue
ingested for each size class of clam. Results suggest that 7-day starvation does not significantly
increase consumption in the presence of fear (p=0.485), but fear does significantly affect prey
biomass consumed (p=0.0175) and prey size selectivity (p<0.0001). Foraging practices deviated
from optimal foraging predictions, indicating a wider range of factors outside of energy to crush
this prey species—such as search time, ability to manipulate prey of different sizes, etc.—should
be taken into consideration when formulating predictions of optimal prey size.

description: In the 'Ageing Well Public Talk series' we are exploring how important it is, over our lifespan, to maintain well-balanced nutrition and hydration as well as regular physical and social activity in older age, also known as the 'Five Pillars of Ageing Well'. Ageing demonstrates most significantly when we reach a certain age, the usual benchmark being 65+, but ageing starts much sooner and the way ageing demonstrates when we are over 65 depends on decisions we have been making over our life span. The series and related materials such as ‘The Five Pillars of Ageing Well’ became the cornerstones of further engagement with the public, specifically around COVID-19 and the relating self-isolation, which are now available on the OU website and the Internet. The overall aim of these series of interventions is to facilitate a step change in user behaviour and support service provision. Self-management and becoming partner in our own health care is an important aspect of these talks. This may have a wider impact in healthcare economies, as ageing and related co-morbidities have a substantial health and economic burden footprint. I have been presenting the ‘Ageing Well’ Lecture Series in collaboration with Third Age University and Free Time University overseas and more recently with primary care practices in the UK. Currently also collaborating with Age UK MK, Public Health Northamptonshire, Carers MK, UKeMED & Cambridge Medical Academy, East of England Academic Health Science Network and the and Voluntary Health Scotland on delivering ‘Ageing Well Public Talks’. All talks last between 60-90 min & you can click on the links within the attached synopsis to find more about the talks and our presenters.

description: A pedagogical account of some aspects of Extreme Value Statistics (EVS) is presented from the somewhat non-standard viewpoint of Large Deviation Theory. We address the following problem: given a set of $N$ i.i.d. random variables $\{X_1,\ldots,X_N\}$ drawn from a parent probability density function (pdf) $p(x)$, what is the probability that the maximum value of the set $X_{\mathrm{max}}=\max_i X_i$ is "atypically larger" than expected? The cases of exponential and Gaussian distributed variables are worked out in detail, and the right rate function for a general pdf in the Gumbel basin of attraction is derived. The Gaussian case convincingly demonstrates that the full rate function cannot be determined from the knowledge of the limiting distribution (Gumbel) alone, thus implying that it indeed carries additional information. Given the simplicity and richness of the result and its derivation, its absence from textbooks, tutorials and lecture notes on EVS for physicists appears inexplicable.

Developing interactive, tailored and targeted online asthma education modules for children and their caregivers
Creators: name: Carrington, Anne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Children with asthma and their caregivers need educational resources about
asthma management that can be tailored to their specific needs. This study was
conducted to obtain input from children and caregivers about what they would
like to see included in interactive, tailored and targeted asthma
self-­management education modules that would be accessed via a website. Eight
caregiver (n=8)/child (n=8) dyads were eligible and completed 30-­minute
in­‐person interviews. Caregivers and children felt that online modules would
be beneficial in helping them manage asthma and find information about asthma.
Participants were most interested in information about how to deal with
triggers, managing asthma at school and during exercise, the difference between
rescue and control medications, and how to discuss asthma with providers. All
participants agreed that including people of the same race, ethnicity and gender
did not matter as long as they were easy to understand. In conclusion, having
online modules that are easy to navigate and cover asthma self-­management
topics was more important than tailoring the site based on participants’
demographic characteristics.

description: We derive a trace formula that expresses the level density of chaotic many-body systems as a smooth term plus a sum over contributions associated to solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger (or Gross-Pitaevski) equation. Our formula applies to bosonic systems with discretised positions, such as the Bose-Hubbard model, in the semiclassical limit as well as in the limit where the number of particles is taken to infinity. We use the trace formula to investigate the spectral statistics of these systems, by studying interference between solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We show that in the limits taken the statistics of fully chaotic many-particle systems becomes universal and agrees with predictions from the Wigner-Dyson ensembles of random matrix theory. The conditions for Wigner-Dyson statistics involve a gap in the spectrum of the Frobenius-Perron operator, leaving the possibility of different statistics for systems with weaker chaotic properties.

description: The purpose of this document is to provide a first comprehensive set of key strategic reflections and recommendations for 6G smart networks and services, capturing the views and priorities from the members of the 6G-IA. The goal is that this document will be used to further elaborate future versions of the SNS JU Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) as well as the R&I Work Programmes. It also aims to offer directions for collaboration opportunities for European Stakeholders that will go beyond the scope of the SNS JU. It is the plan of 6G-IA to use this as a “living document” where topics will be updated or highlighted (by producing specific strategic documents) in the coming years, following the technological advances, market uptake and ecosystem evolution.
The Impact of Access to Recorded Lectures on Cognitive Load and Retention
Creators: name: Patel, Bianka
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: An increasing number of courses within health science education allow students to access recorded lectures after class. The ability to save information, such as recorded lectures, could have benefits on students’ cognitive load. If cognitive load can be preserved during class, it may have learning benefits. However, knowledge of access to saved information may also reduce note taking, which can be important in the learning and encoding process. This study aims to elucidate the impact of access to recorded lectures on cognitive load and performance during restudy. Seventy-eight participants were recruited and divided into two groups: access to recorded lecture and no access to recorded lecture. Participants viewed four lectures. For the first two lectures (i.e. the early lecture material), they were told whether they would or would not have access to the recorded lectures prior to their test one week later. They then watched an additional two videos (i.e. the late lecture material), for which they were told they would not have access to in the future. They were tested on all four lectures immediately after watching the videos and then tested again one week later. The primary outcome was test performance on the material contained in the second set of lectures following immediate testing. It was hypothesized that if participants were granted access to recordings of the early lecture material, they would have more cognitive resources (i.e. memory, attention) to devote to the late lecture material, resulting in better test performance on the content from the second set of videos. Performance did not differ when participants were told they have access to the lecture material. One week later, rewatching videos did improve performance (d~0.7). Participants in the no access condition forgot less information (d=0.42) over time compared to the access group (d=0.53) even though the access group wrote more notes. These finding suggest that there is no preservation of cognitive load when learners have knowledge of recorded lectures. Although test performance did not differ between the groups, the Access group had larger effect sizes for loss of material, suggesting that when participants knew they would not have access, they engaged in a stronger encoding during the learning phase. Participants who had diagrams in their notes performed better overall.

Combination of Variable Active Site Residues Interact to Modulate Response Regulator Reaction Kinetics
Creators: name: Worden, Cameron P.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Signal transduction pathways are responsible for sensing and responding to stimuli. Two- component systems are a common type of signaling pathway found in microorganisms and
plants, and are composed of a sensor kinase (SK) and response regulator (RR) protein. Changes in the phosphorylation states of the SK and RR due to environmental stimuli provide a molecular switch to control signal output. RRs possess the catalytic activity for phosphotransfer, but it is not known how closely related RRs self-catalyze phosphorylation and dephosphorylation reactions with rate constants that span
up to six orders of magnitude. Variable residues in the RR active site, named according to their position relative to a conserved aspartic acid (D+2) and threonine residue (T+1 and T+2), individually influence autophosphorylation and autodephosphorylation reaction kinetics by one to two orders of magnitude. Our hypothesis is that certain combinations of variable active site residues interact to produce much larger effects on RR reaction kinetics than the sum of their individual effects. To investigate these interactive properties, we examined existing data on the effects of specific D+2 and T+2 combinations, in the presence of the most common T+1 residue (Ala), that resulted in
synergistic interactivity. To complete characterization of position T+1, the impact of Gly (the second most abundant residue) on reaction kinetics was tested. Finally, the effects of combinations at all three positions on rate constants were tested.
Results show similarity in rate constants between proteins bearing Ala or Gly at T+1, while D+2/T+1/T+2 combinations Asn/Thr/Ser and Arg/Gly/Tyr displayed no interactivity and Asn/Val/Ser was antagonistic. The T+1 results are consistent with the structural similarity of Ala and Gly. To further elucidate interactive properties, combination Arg/Gly/His is currently being investigated; however, a D+2/T+1/T+2 combination displaying synergism has yet to be observed.

description: Pharmaceuticals delivered via nasal spray typically have only generic use instructions. Because topical drug delivery varies with sprayer position and nasal anatomy, ethnic-based study of nasal spray delivery could provide important information on how drugs can best be administered in the future. Additionally, it is not known if specific features of nasal morphology contribute significantly to humidification of inspired air which also has health implications, and could also be informed by an ethnic-based study.
