description: Microbubble contrast agents are currently implemented in a variety of both clinical and preclinical ultrasound imaging studies. The therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities of these contrast agents are limited by their short in-vivo lifetimes, and research to lengthen their circulation times is ongoing. In this manuscript, observations are presented from a controlled experiment performed to evaluate differences in circulation times for lipid shelled perfluorocarbon-filled contrast agents circulating within rodents as a function of inhaled anesthesia carrier gas.

description: Ferromagnets are believed to exhibit strongly anisotropic spin relaxation, with relaxation lengths for spin longitudinal to magnetization significantly longer than those for spin transverse to magnetization. Here we characterize the anisotropy of spin relaxation in Co using the spin pumping contribution to Gilbert damping in noncollinearly magnetized Py$_{1-x}$Cu$_{x}$/Cu/Co trilayer structures. The static magnetization angle between Py$_{1-x}$Cu$_{x}$ and Co, adjusted under field bias perpendicular to film planes, controls the projections of longitudinal and transverse spin current pumped from Py$_{1-x}$Cu$_{x}$ into Co. We find nearly isotropic absorption of pure spin current in Co using this technique; fits to a diffusive transport model yield the longitudinal spin relaxation length $< 2$ nm in Co. The longitudinal spin relaxation lengths found are an order of magnitude smaller than those determined by current-perpendicular-to-planes giant magnetoresistance measurements, but comparable with transverse spin relaxation lengths in Co determined by spin pumping.

King James VI: Defender of the True Faith Against the Antichrist
Creators: name: Wallace, Samuel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores the concept of divine right as King James VI took it: as principally a religious obligation, and then as a way of legitimizing political power. Using diverse works authored by James, this thesis first sets up James’ idea of divine right, that being one of sincere obligation towards God to protect and promote the religion of the realm, which notably elevates the monarch to the chief ecclesiastical authority. From the divine right idea of a king as the chief ecclesiastical authority, this thesis examines the duties a Christian king owes to his people, and the allegiances they owe to him. Finally, this thesis explores the contested balance of ecclesiastical power between King James and the Roman Catholic Church, which sought to elevate Pope Paul V as the head ecclesiastical power. Using his ideas of divine right, James attacks the Catholic Church as the forces of the Devil, elevating the pope to the position of Antichrist, while also elevating his own church, the Church of England, to the true Catholic Church which James must defend.

description: In this paper, the optimization-based alignment (OBA) methods are investigated with main focus on the vector observations construction procedures for the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS). The contributions of this study are twofold. First the OBA method is extended to be able to estimate the gyroscopes biases coupled with the attitude based on the construction process of the existing OBA methods. This extension transforms the initial alignment into an attitude estimation problem which can be solved using the nonlinear filtering algorithms. The second contribution is the comprehensive evaluation of the OBA methods and their extensions with different vector observations construction procedures in terms of convergent speed and steady-state estimate using field test data collected from different grades of SINS. This study is expected to facilitate the selection of appropriate OBA methods for different grade SINS.

description: Dry eye disease (DED) is an ocular disease that affects 5% to 17% of the US population. Because of the negative effects of DED on patients’ quality of life (QOL), disease-specific questionnaires that assess QOL in patients with dry eyes are essential in the monitoring and management of this chronic ocular condition. This review provides clinicians and researchers with a summary of the current questionnaires available for assessing QOL in patients with dry eyes.

description: We calculate the local density of states of two prototypical topological insulators (Bi$_2$Se$_3$ and Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se) as a function of distance from the surface within density functional theory. We find that, in the absence of disorder or doping, there is a 2 nm thick surface dipole the origin of which is the occupation of the topological surface states above the Dirac point. As a consequence, the bottom of the conduction band is bent upward by about 75 meV near the surface, and there is a hump-like feature associated with the top of the valence band. We expect that band bending will occur in all pristine topological insulators as long as the Fermi level does not cross the Dirac point. Our results show that topological insulators are intrinsic Schottky barrier solar cells.

Parental Stress and Special Needs during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Year: 2022

description: Parents of children with special needs experience heightened parental stress levels compared to parents of typically developing children and the pandemic has been an unprecedented added stressor to their already difficult lives. Both general stress and pandemic-related stress of parents of special needs children are well documented, however, this study wished to look at their respective influences on parental stress. The present study surveyed 21 parents of children with special needs about their general daily stress, pandemic-related stress, and their parental stress during the pandemic. Results of a multiple linear regression analysis indicated that general daily stress explained parental stress over and above pandemic-related stress. Taken together with prior research, this finding suggests there may be a moderating factor like stress proliferation that is influencing the relationship between various stressors and parental stress. Our results highlight the importance of mental health and parental stress management programs and interventions to enhance the wellbeing of parents of special needs children during stressful events such as a pandemic.

Loop Quantum Cosmology Matter Bounce Reconstruction from $F(R)$ Gravity Using an Auxiliary Field

description: Using the reconstruction technique with an auxiliary field, we investigate which $F(R)$ gravities can produce the matter bounce cosmological solutions. Owing to the specific functional form of the matter bounce Hubble parameter, the reconstruction technique leads, after some simplifications, to the same Hubble parameter as in the matter bounce scenario. Focusing the study to the large and small cosmic time $t$ limits, we were able to find which $F(R)$ gravities can generate the matter bounce Hubble parameter. In the case of small cosmic time limit, which corresponds to large curvature values, the $F(R)$ gravity is $F(R)\sim R+αR^2$, which is an inflation generating gravity, and at small curvature, or equivalently, large cosmic time, the $F(R)$ gravity generating the corresponding limit of the matter bounce Hubble parameter, is $F(R)\sim \frac{1}{R}$, a gravity known to produce late-time acceleration. Thus we have the physically appealing picture in which a Jordan frame $F(R)$ gravity that imitates the matter bounce solution at large and small curvatures, can generate Starobinsky inflation and late-time acceleration. Moreover, the scale factor corresponding to the reconstruction technique coincides almost completely to the matter bounce scenario scale factor, when considered in the aforementioned limiting curvature cases. This is scrutinized in detail, in order to examine the validity of the reconstruction method in these limiting cases, and according to our analysis, exact agreement is achieved.

description: Creativity, the ability to produce innovative ideas, is a key higher-order cognitive function that is poorly understood. At the level of macroscopic cortical network dynamics, recent EEG data suggests that cortical oscillations in the alpha frequency band (8 – 12 Hz) are correlated with creative thinking. However, whether alpha oscillations play a fundamental role in creativity has remained unknown. Here we show that creativity is increased by enhancing alpha power using 10 Hz transcranial alternating current stimulation (10Hz-tACS) of the frontal cortex. In a study of 20 healthy participants with a randomized, balanced cross-over design, we found a significant improvement of 7.4% in the Creativity Index measured by the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking, a comprehensive and most frequently used assay of creative potential and strengths. In a second similar study with 20 subjects, 40Hz-tACS was used in instead of 10Hz-tACS to rule out a general “electrical stimulation” effect. No significant change in the Creativity Index was found for such frontal gamma stimulation. Our results suggest that alpha activity in frontal brain areas is selectively involved in creativity; this enhancement represents the first demonstration of specific neuronal dynamics that drive creativity and can be modulated by non-invasive brain stimulation. Our findings agree with the model that alpha recruitment increases with internal processing demands and is involved in inhibitory top-down control, which is an important requirement for creative ideation.

description: Natural killer (NK) cells are important in protection against virus infections, and many viruses have evolved mechanisms to thwart NK cell activity. NK cells respond to inflammatory signals at an early stage of virus infection, resulting in proliferation, cytokine production, and cytolytic activity that can reduce virus loads. Moreover, the rapid kinetics of the NK cell response enables NK cells to influence other populations of innate immune cells, affect the inflammatory milieu, and guide adaptive immune responses to infection. Early NK cell interactions with other leukocytes can have long-lasting effects on the number and quality of memory T cells, as well as impact the exhaustion of T cells during chronic infections. The ability of NK cells to modulate T cell responses can be mediated through direct T-NK interactions, cytokine production, or indirectly through dendritic cells and other cell types. Herein, we summarize our current understanding of how NK cells interact with T cells, dendritic cells, B cells, and other cell types involved in adaptive immune responses to virus infection. We outline several mechanisms by which NK cells enhance or suppress adaptive immune response and long-lived immunological memory.
Geometric construction of Quantum Hall clustering Hamiltonians

description: Many fractional quantum Hall wave functions are known to be unique and highest-density zero modes of certain "pseudopotential" Hamiltonians. Examples include the Read-Rezayi series (in particular, the Laughlin, Moore-Read and Read-Rezayi Z_3 states), and more exotic non-unitary (Haldane-Rezayi, Gaffnian states) or irrational states (Haffnian state). While a systematic method to construct such Hamiltonians is available for the infinite plane or sphere geometry, its generalization to manifolds such as the cylinder or torus, where relative angular momentum is not an exact quantum number, has remained an open problem. Here we develop a geometric approach for constructing pseudopotential Hamiltonians in a universal manner that naturally applies to all geometries. Our method generalizes to the multicomponent SU(n) cases with a combination of spin or pseudospin (layer, subband, valley) degrees of freedom. We demonstrate the utility of the approach through several examples, including certain non-Abelian multicomponent states whose parent Hamiltonians were previously unknown, and verify the method by numerically computing their entanglement properties.

description: Most criminological theories predict an inverse relationship between employment and crime, but teenagers' involvement in paid work during the school year is positively correlated with delinquency and substance use. Whether the work-delinquency association is causal or spurious has long been debated. This study estimates the effect of paid work on juvenile delinquency using longitudinal data from the national Monitoring the Future project. We address issues of spuriousness by using a two-level hierarchical model to estimate the relationships of within-individual changes in juvenile delinquency and substance use to those in paid work and other explanatory variables. We also disentangle effects of actual employment from preferences for employment to provide insight about the likely role of time-varying selection factors tied to employment, delinquency, school engagement, and leisure activities. Whereas causal effects of employment would produce differences based on whether and how many hours respondents worked, we found significantly higher rates of crime and substance use among non-employed youth who preferred intensive versus moderate work. Our findings suggest the relationship between high-intensity work and delinquency results from preexisting factors that lead youth to desire varying levels of employment.
Navigating Uncertainty: The Role of Short-Term Trajectory Prediction in Autonomous Vehicle Safety
Creators: name: Sharma, Sushil
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Trajectory Prediction, CNN-LSTM and CARLA simulator

description: Autonomous vehicles require accurate and reliable short-term trajectory predictions for safe and efficient driving. While most commercial automated vehicles currently use state machine-based algorithms for trajectory forecasting, recent efforts have focused on end-to-end data-driven systems. Often, the design of these models is limited by the availability of datasets, which are typically restricted to generic scenarios. To address this limitation, we have developed a synthetic dataset for short-term trajectory prediction tasks using the CARLA simulator. This dataset is extensive and incorporates what is considered complex scenarios - pedestrians crossing the road, vehicles overtaking - and comprises 6000 perspective view images with corresponding IMU and odometry information for each frame. Furthermore, an end-to-end short-term trajectory prediction model using convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks has also been developed. This model can handle corner cases, such as slowing down near zebra crossings and stopping when pedestrians cross the road, without the need for explicit encoding of the surrounding environment. In an effort to accelerate this research and assist others, we are releasing our dataset and model to the research community. Our datasets are publicly available on https://github.com/sharmasushil/Navigating-Uncertainty-Trajectory-Prediction

description: With the development of new technologies and drugs, health care is becoming increasisngly complex and expensive. Governments and health care providers around the world devote a large proportion of their budgets to maintaining quality of care. During 2007, Critical Care published several papers that highlight important aspects of critical care management, which can be subdivided into structure, processes and outcomes, including costs. Great emphasis was given to quality of life after intensive care unit stay, especially the impact of post-traumatic stress disorder. Significant attention was also given to staffing level, optimization of intensive care unit capacity, and drug cost-effectiveness, particularly that of recombinant human activated protein C. Managing costs and providing high-quality care simultaneously are emerging challenges that we must understand and meet.

description: We systematically compute the annihilation rate for neutral winos into the final state gamma + X, including all leading radiative corrections. This includes both the Sommerfeld enhancement (in the decoupling limit for the Higgsino) and the resummation of the leading electroweak double logarithms. Adopting an analysis of the HESS experiment, we place constraints on the mass as a function of the wino fraction of the dark matter and the shape of the dark matter profile. We also determine how much coring is needed in the dark matter halo to make the wino a viable candidate as a function of its mass. Additionally, as part of our effective field theory formalism, we show that in the pure-Standard Model sector of our theory, emissions of soft Higgses are power-suppressed and that collinear Higgs emission does not contribute to leading double logs.

We derive under mild convergence conditions a general series representation for the distance covariance for these distributions. To illustrate the general theory, we apply the series representation to derive explicit expressions for the distance covariance and distance correlation coefficients for the bivariate normal distribution and its generalizations of Lancaster type, the multivariate normal distributions, and the bivariate gamma, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions which are of Lancaster type.

description: Unruh effect is a landmark prediction of standard quantum field theory in which Fock vacuum state appears as a thermal state with respect to an uniformly accelerating observer. Given its dependence on trans-Planckian modes, Unruh effect is often considered as an arena for exploring a candidate theory of quantum gravity. Here we show that Unruh effect disappears if, instead of using Fock quantization, one uses polymer quantization or loop quantization, the quantization method used in loop quantum gravity. Secondly, the polymer vacuum state remains a vacuum state even for the accelerating observer in the sense that expectation value of number density operator in it remains zero. Finally, if experimental measurement of Unruh effect is ever possible then it may be used either to verify or rule out a theory of quantum gravity.

The Hawking Radiation as Gravitational Fowler-Nordheim Emission in Uniformly Accelerated Frame, in The Non-Relativistic Scenario

description: In the conventional scenario, the Hawking radiation is believed to be a tunneling process at the event horizon of the black hole. In the quantum field theoretic approach the Schwinger's mechanism is generally used to give an explanation of this tunneling process. It is the decay of quantum vacuum into particle anti-particle pairs near the black hole surface. However, in a reference frame undergoing an uniform accelerated motion in an otherwise flat Minkowski space-time geometry, in the non-relativistic approximation, the particle production near the event horizon of a black hole may be treated as a kind of Fowler-Nordheim field emission, which is the typical electron emission process from a metal surface under the action of an external electrostatic field. This type of emission from metal surface is allowed even at extremely low temperature. It has been noticed that in one-dimensional scenario, the Schr$\ddot{\rm{o}}$dinger equation satisfied by the created particle (anti-particle) near the event horizon, can be reduced to a differential form which is exactly identical with that obeyed by an electron immediately after the emission from the metal surface under the action of a strong electrostatic field. The mechanism of particle production near the event horizon of a black hole is therefore identified with Schwinger process in relativistic quantum field theory, whereas in the non-relativistic scenario it may be interpreted as Fowler-Nordheim emission process, when observed from an uniformly accelerated frame.

description: Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) provision is increasing markedly despite poor patient outcomes. Misunderstanding prognosis in the PMV decision making process could provide an explanation to this phenomenon. Therefore, we aimed to compare PMV decision makers' expectations for long-term patient outcomes with prospectively observed outcomes.

description: Let $f : (\mathbb{C}^2, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}^2, 0)$ be a germ of holomorphic skew product with a superattracting fixed point at the origin. If it has a suitable weight, then we can construct a Böttcher coordinate which conjugates $f$ to the associated monomial map. This Böttcher coordinate is defined on an open set whose interior or boundary contains the origin.

description: Aya Van Renterghem, Teaching and Learning Coordinator (Special Collections)Although there have always been volunteering opportunities at Special Collections, it was never considered an integral part of our teaching and learning offer. In the academic year 2022-2023, however, we ran a pilot scheme with a small number of volunteers to see if it would be possible to have a volunteering programme at Special Collections.This talk will discuss our pilot, what we have learned from it, and how we are going to approach setting up a volunteering programme with a systematic approach which considers the impact of volunteering in terms of employability and social responsibility in the academic year 2023-2024.

Investigating the Mediating Role of Perspective Taking and Empathy on Racial Discrimination and Brain Activation
Creators: name: Rodriguez, Glorimel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Racial discrimination greatly impacts the mental and physical well-being of an individual. Adolescents who identify as racial minorities may be especially vulnerable to the effects of racial discrimination because of the significant neurodevelopmental and social changes that occur during adolescence. Previous studies have shown that TPJ activation may be influenced by race-related constructs, however no study has assessed the relationship between racial discrimination and TPJ activation, a brain region involved in other-oriented processes. The current study assessed the mediating role of empathy and perspective taking in the relationship between racial discrimination and TPJ activation. Participants included 45 racially diverse adolescents (46% female) from ages 13-16. Self-report questionnaires were used to measure experiences of racial discrimination, empathy, perspective-taking, and prosocial risk behaviors. In the functional magnetic resonance imaging scanner adolescents completed a risk-taking task where they took risks for close others. Using a mediation regression model, results suggested racial discrimination does not predict TPJ activation, nor did empathy and perspective-taking mediate this relationship. The linear regression analysis suggested that racial discrimination does not predict prosocial risk taking.

A Longitudinal Exploration of the Effects of Military Service  on Mental Health Outcomes of U.S. Veterans
Creators: name: Miranda Buzetta, Abel Andre
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: In the United States, military veterans experience suicide rates 1.5 times higher than their nonveteran counterparts, indicative of higher levels of psychological distress. However, conflicting findings in contemporary research continue to dispute the directionality of the relationship between military service and mental health. Proponents of the life-course approach have pointed to the application of longitudinal data to better isolate the relationship, offering models through which negative experiences unique to military service can be identified and correlated to changes in mental health. Using data from Waves I and V of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), this study demonstrates that veterans are more likely to experience an increase in depressive symptoms over the lifetime compared to their nonveteran counterparts. While findings further support the use of longitudinal health studies in veteran mental health research, I suggest various mechanisms through which the quality of veteran-specific data can be improved.
title: The Constituents of Successful Group Musical Improvisation: Insights from within the developing practice of the Cold Bath Street band.
Creators: name: Partridge, Simon Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: What do musicians need to know and do, beyond applying a base vocabulary of technical music knowledge through their instrument, in order to undertake successful group improvisation? This research lives within music improvisation and music improvisation pedagogy. Specifically, it contributes original insights of use to developing improvisers and educators working with musicians from rock and pop backgrounds. Existing texts offer advice on the theories and practice of free improvisation but beyond genre guides giving stock phrases there is little provided to articulate functionality in these fields.
Building on approaches proposed by Stephen Nachmanovitch and David Borgo, operating under a self- determined definition of successful group improvisation, the researcher worked within the same group of developing improvisers for three years utilising a method combining practical workshops, recordings, discussions, interviews, contextual research and researcher reflection. Linked audio recordings serve to inform and illustrate the discussion. The study illuminates from within the practice, leading to an answer proposed in the form of constituent factors. Though specific and subjective, its findings provide an expectedly complex constituent makeup: A supportive working environment and broad agreement on remit were foundational. Active-listening, rapid and continuous creative and compositional decision-making operated in tandem with the ability to control the instrument to a high expressive level and to a point where it is second nature. After identifying points of clear commonality and differentiation with the act of pre-composing, the research further states that working with pitch was particularly difficult for the players and introduces a six-step ‘Offers System’ designed to aid their development.
The research concluded that to be successful the players must thrive within the nature of the activity, valuing communal creative interaction in the moment over the importance of any resulting product, navigating the unknown with confidence built through experience, embracing the flux, risk and ‘mistakes’ inherent to the form whilst guiding their imaginative explorations with the musical-thinking of Edwin Gordon’s audiation.
Quantized Consensus by the ADMM: Probabilistic versus Deterministic Quantizers

description: This paper develops efficient algorithms for distributed average consensus with quantized communication using the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). We first study the effects of probabilistic and deterministic quantizations on a distributed ADMM algorithm. With probabilistic quantization, this algorithm yields linear convergence to the desired average in the mean sense with a bounded variance. When deterministic quantization is employed, the distributed ADMM either converges to a consensus or cycles with a finite period after a finite-time iteration. In the cyclic case, local quantized variables have the same mean over one period and hence each node can also reach a consensus. We then obtain an upper bound on the consensus error which depends only on the quantization resolution and the average degree of the network. Finally, we propose a two-stage algorithm which combines both probabilistic and deterministic quantizations. Simulations show that the two-stage algorithm, without picking small algorithm parameter, has consensus errors that are typically less than one quantization resolution for all connected networks where agents' data can be of arbitrary magnitudes.
