This is the unique ‘selling point’ for these kinds of trails, since there are many more trails and tracks that are resourced by signage alone, or which may be led by non-Indigenous guides.
Modulation of murine bone marrow-derived CFU-F and CFU-OB by in vivo bisphosphonate and fluoride treatment
Creators: name: Chou, Ming-Yi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Bisphosphonates (BPN) are potent inhibitors of bone resorption with suggested dose dependent effects on osteoblasts. Fluoride (F) is an anabolic agent capable of increasing bone mass and, depending upon genetic background, stimulates osteoclastogenesis. This study aimed to investigate BPN and F's in vivo effects on bone marrow derived osteoprogenitor cells. Mice from the C3H/HeJ (C3H), C57BL/6J (B6), FVB/NJ (FVB) and BALB/cByJ (BALB-c) strains were treated for 3-weeks with 0, 3, 30, or 150 mcg/kg/week alendronate (ALN) administered s.c. alone or in combination with 50ppm fluoride (F). Bone marrow cells were harvested and subjected to in vitro CFU-F and CFU-OB assays. Results showed strain dependent baseline differences in CFU-F, CFU-OB/ALP+, and CFU-OB/total. ALN and F treatments resulted in strain specific responses for CFU-F, CFU-OB/ALP+, and CFU-OB/total. No dose responses to ALN were observed. Genetic factors appear to play a role in ALN's effects on CFU-F and CFU-OB/total, but not on CFU-OB/ALP+.

description: Time reversal symmetric topological superconductors in three spatial dimensions carry gapless surface Majorana fermions. They are robust against any time reversal symmetric single-body perturbation weaker than the bulk energy gap. We mimic the massless surface Majorana's by coupled wire models in two spatial dimensions. We introduce explicit many-body interwire interactions that preserve time reversal symmetry and give energy gaps to all low energy degrees of freedom. We show the gapped models generically carry non-trivial topological order and support anyonic excitations.

Uninsured Migrants: Access to Healthcare among Mexican Return Migrants
Creators: name: Wassink, Joshua
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Numerous academic studies and policy reports indicate that Mexican return migrants are underinsured relative to their non-migrant counterparts. However, insufficient consideration has been given to Mexican return migrants’ access to healthcare since the creation of Seguro Popular, a universal insurance program implemented in 2003. This study analyzes data from the 2010 Mexican Census, to assess the association between a recent migration experience and the odds of having health insurance coverage. Subsequently, longitudinal data from the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) is used to test whether migrant selection on uninsurance accounts for observed disparities in coverage among men following return. Results reveal that working-age returnees are 23% and 16% less likely to be insured (for women and men respectively). This study highlights a need for greater attention to factors that affect the reintegration and access to key resources, such as healthcare, among Mexican return migrants.

description: A new approach to simulating rotational cooling using a direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is described and applied to the rotational cooling of ammonia seeded into a helium supersonic jet. The method makes use of ab initio rotational state changing cross sections calculated as a function of collision energy. Each particle in the DSMC simulations is labelled with a vector of rotational populations that evolves with time. Transfer of energy into translation is calculated from the mean energy transfer for this population at the specified collision energy. The simulations are compared with a continuum model for the on-axis density, temperature and velocity; rotational temperature as a function of distance from the nozzle is in accord with expectations from experimental measurements. The method could be applied to other types of gas mixture dynamics under non-uniform conditions, such as buffer gas cooling of NH$_3$ by He.

Containing the Spirit, Controlling the Flesh: Performance, Positioning, and Antebellum Slaveowners as Representatives of Chowan County’s Religion, 1760-1830
Creators: name: Leslie, James Mark
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Though the increasing influence of evangelical religion is often associated with participatory democracy, this thesis asserts that the rise of evangelicalism coincided with the establishment of planter hegemony. During the colonial period, many slaveowners in Chowan County North Carolina mixed civil and religious affairs in the Anglican Church. Slaveowners, however, felt threatened by parsons who attempted to preach to slaves. Former vestrymen and other slaveowners reluctantly accepted a popular movement for religious disestablishment they were unable to resist. The disestablishment of the Anglican Church had the effect of encouraging freer participation in religious fellowship, and slaveowners were even more fearful of the leveling impact of expanding participation in religious fellowship. By the 1830s, however, the slaveowning white men held a disproportionate amount of authority within evangelical and orthodox churches. As a result, evangelical and Episcopal churches increasingly embodied the refined tastes of a minority of residents in Chowan County.

description: We present a general method for Bayesian inference of the underlying covariance structure of random fields on a sphere. We employ the Bipolar Spherical Harmonic (BipoSH) representation of general covariance structure on the sphere. We illustrate the efficacy of the method as a principled approach to assess violation of statistical isotropy (SI) in the sky maps of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) fluctuations. SI violation in observed CMB maps arise due to known physical effects such as Doppler boost and weak lensing; yet unknown theoretical possibilities like cosmic topology and subtle violations of the cosmological principle, as well as, expected observational artefacts of scanning the sky with a non-circular beam, masking, foreground residuals, anisotropic noise, etc. We explicitly demonstrate the recovery of the input SI violation signals with their full statistics in simulated CMB maps. Our formalism easily adapts to exploring parametric physical models with non-SI covariance, as we illustrate for the inference of the parameters of a Doppler boosted sky map. Our approach promises to provide a robust quantitative evaluation of the evidence for SI violation related anomalies in the CMB sky by estimating the BipoSH spectra along with their complete posterior.

Re-Interpreting Racial Attitudes: A Psychological Constructionist Model of Racial Attitudes
Creators: name: Lee, Kent
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: Previous theories of racial attitudes have viewed attitudes as fixed associations between the subject of the attitude and an evaluation. According to these theories negative racial attitudes inevitably lead to negative evaluations of racial minorities. However, I propose a model in which attitudes are constructed dynamically and negative evaluations of racial minorities are not inevitable. I test the hypothesis that interpretation of negative affect toward African-Americans can alter the consequences of negative affect. In two online studies, participants' negative affective reactions toward Blacks were measured. Participants then were informed that their negative affective reactions to Black individuals were due to sympathy, in one condition. In another condition participants were told that their affective reactions were due to sympathy. Results indicate that interpretation of negative affect toward African-Americans as sympathy, rather than fear, reduces self-reported fear of African-Americans. These studies provide empirical support for a novel psychological constructionist model of racial attitudes.

description: The nature of superconducting fluctuation effects in the isovalently-substituted iron pnictide BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$ (x=0.35) is probed through measurements of the magnetization and magnetoconductivity around the superconducting transition. The results, obtained with magnetic fields up to 9 T applied in the two main crystal directions, are consistent with anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approaches for finite applied magnetic fields. The analysis allowed to determine with accuracy the out-of-plane, $ξ_c(0)$, and in-plane, $ξ_{ab}(0)$, GL coherence lengths. Significant differences are found between the $ξ_c(0)$ values resulting from electrical transport and magnetization data. According to recent theoretical approaches, these differences could be interpreted in terms of the multiband nature of this material. The analysis of data in the low field region around the transition temperature also suggests that phase fluctuations, although possibly relevant in other Fe-based superconductors, may play a negligible role in this compound.

description: We present and apply a new method to measure directly weak magnetization in thin films. The polarization of a neutron beam channeling through a thin film structure is measured after exiting the structure edge as a microbeam. We have applied the method to a tri-layer thin film structure acting as a planar waveguide for polarized neutrons. The middle guiding layer is a rare earth based ferrimagnetic material TbCo5 with a low magnetization of about 20 mT. We demonstrate that the channeling method is more sensitive than the specular neutron reflection method.

description: Deep connections are known to exist between scale-free networks and non-Gibbsian statistics. For example, typical degree distributions at the thermodynamical limit are of the form $P(k) \propto e_q^{-k/κ}$, where the $q$-exponential form $e_q^z \equiv [1+(1-q)z]^{\frac{1}{1-q}}$ optimizes the nonadditive entropy $S_q$ (which, for $q\to 1$, recovers the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy). We introduce and study here $d$-dimensional geographically-located networks which grow with preferential attachment involving Euclidean distances through $r_{ij}^{-α_A} \; (α_A \ge 0)$. Revealing the connection with $q$-statistics, we numerically verify (for $d$ =1, 2, 3 and 4) that the $q$-exponential degree distributions exhibit, for both $q$ and $κ$, universal dependences on the ratio $α_A/d$. Moreover, the $q=1$ limit is rapidly achieved by increasing $α_A/d$ to infinity.

Origin of the X-ray Broad Iron Spectral Feature in GRS 1915+105

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The X-ray spectrum of GRS 1915+105 is known to have a ``broad iron spectral feature'' in the spectral hard state. Similar spectral features are often observed in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and other black-hole binaries (BHBs), and several models have been proposed for explaining it. In order to distinguish spectral models, time variation provides an important key. In AGNs, variation amplitude has been found to drop significantly at the iron K-energy band at timescales of ~10 ks. If spectral variations of black-holes are normalized by their masses, the spectral variations of BHBs at timescales of sub-seconds should exhibit similar characteristics to those of AGNs. In this paper, we investigated spectral variations of GRS 1915+105 at timescales down to ~10 ms. This was made possible for the first time with the Suzaku XIS Parallel-sum clocking (P-sum) mode, which has the CCD energy-resolution as well as a time-resolution of 7.8 ms. Consequently, we found that the variation amplitude of GRS 1915+105 does not drop at the iron K-energy band at any timescales from 0.06 s to 63000 s, and that the entire X-ray flux and the iron feature are independently variable at timescales of hours. These are naturally understood in the framework of the ``partial covering'' model, in which variation timescales of the continuum flux and partial absorbers are independent. The difference of energy dependence of the variation amplitude between AGN and BHB is presumably due to different mechanisms of the outflow winds, i.e., the partial absorbers are due to UV-line driven winds (AGN) or thermally-driven winds (BHB).

description: Structural distortions in nano-materials can induce dramatic changes in their electronic properties. This situation is well manifested in graphene, a two-dimensional honeycomb structure of carbon atoms with only one atomic layer thickness. In particular, strained graphene can result in both charging effects and pseudo-magnetic fields, so that controlled strain on a perfect graphene lattice can be tailored to yield desirable electronic properties. Here we describe the theoretical foundation for strain-engineering of the electronic properties of graphene, and then provide experimental evidences for strain-induced pseudo-magnetic fields and charging effects in monolayer graphene. We further demonstrate the feasibility of nanoscale strain engineering for graphene-based devices by means of theoretical simulations and nano-fabrication technology.

Devising Descent: Mime, Katabasis and Ritual in Theocritus' Idyll 15
Creators: name: Hansen, Hans Jorgen
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis I investigate the genres and structure of Theocritus' fifteenth Idyll, as well as its katabatic and ritual themes. Though often considered an urban mime, only the first 43 lines exhibit the formal qualities of mime found in Herodas' Mimiambi, the only other surviving corpus of Hellenistic mime. The counterpoint to the mimic first section is the Adonia that makes up the last section of the poem and amounts to an urban recasting of pastoral poetry. A polyphonic, katabatic journey bridges the mimic and pastoral sections and is composed of four encounters that correspond to ordeals found in ritual katabases. The structure of the poem is then tripartite, beginning in the profane world of the household mime, progressing through the liminal space of the streets and ending in the sacred world of the Adonia. This progression mirrors Theocritus' evolution from Syracusan mimic poet to Alexandrian pastoral poet.

description: Radio emission at cm wavelengths from highly star-forming galaxies, such as SMGs, is dominated by synchrotron radiation arising from supernova activity. Using deep, high-resolution ($1σ=2.3$ $μ$Jy beam$^{-1}$; $0.75^{"}$) cm radio-continuum observations taken by the VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project, we studied the radio-emitting sizes of a flux-limited sample of SMGs in the COSMOS field. Of the 39 SMGs studied here, 3 GHz emission was detected towards 18 of them ($\sim46\pm11\%$) with S/N ratios in the range of ${\rm S/N=4.2-37.4}$. Using 2D elliptical Gaussian fits, we derived a median deconvolved major axis FWHM size of $0.54^{"}\pm 0.11^{"}$ for our 18 SMGs detected at 3 GHz. For the 15 SMGs with known redshift we derived a median linear major axis FWHM of $4.2\pm0.9$ kpc. No clear correlation was found between the radio-emitting size and the 3 GHz or submm flux density, or the redshift of the SMG. However, there is a hint of larger radio sizes at $z\sim2.5-5$ compared to lower redshifts. The sizes we derived are consistent with previous SMG sizes measured at 1.4 GHz and in mid-$J$ CO emission, but significantly larger than those seen in the (sub)mm continuum emission. One possible scenario is that SMGs have i) an extended gas component with a low dust temperature, and which can be traced by low- to mid-$J$ CO line emission and radio continuum emission, and ii) a warmer, compact starburst region giving rise to the high-$J$ line emission of CO, which could dominate the dust continuum size measurements. Because of the rapid cooling of CR electrons in dense starburst galaxies ($\sim10^4-10^5$ yr), the more extended synchrotron radio-emitting size being a result of CR diffusion seems unlikely. Instead, if SMGs are driven by galaxy mergers the radio synchrotron emission might arise from more extended magnetised ISM around the starburst region.

description: RR Lyrae stars being distance indicators and tracers of old population serve as excellent probes of the structure, formation, and evolution of our Galaxy. Thousands of them are being discovered in ongoing wide-field surveys. The OGLE project conducts the Galaxy Variability Survey with the aim to detect and analyze variable stars, in particular of RRab type, toward the Galactic bulge and disk, covering a total area of 3000 deg^2. Observations in these directions also allow detecting background halo variables and unique studies of their properties and distribution at distances from the Galactic Center to even 40 kpc. In this contribution, we present the first results on the spatial distribution of the observed RRab stars, their metallicity distribution, the presence of multiple populations, and relations with the old bulge. We also show the most recent results from the analysis of RR Lyrae stars of the Sgr dwarf spheroidal galaxy, including its center, the globular cluster M54.

Evaluation of Potential Inhibitors of Escherichia coli RecA to Attenuate the Rate of Antibiotic Resistance Development and to Sensitize Escherichia coli to Current Antibiotics
Creators: name: Flanagan, Keri
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Antibacterials are invaluable to treating infectious diseases. However, bacteria have a profound ability to alter their susceptibility to antibiotics, rendering themselves resistant to one or more current available antibiotics [4,7,26,27]. Treatment of bacterial infections may be accomplished by attenuating bacterial resistance mechanisms and sensitizing bacteria to current antibiotics. RecA, a recombinase enzyme involved in DNA repair, horizontal gene transfer and the induction of SOS mutagenesis[19-25], seems to be a promising target whose inhibition would reduce bacteria's susceptibility to antibiotics. In this study, we evaluated whether cell-permeable RecA inhibitors could prevent the transfer of genetic material [27,27,37] from heat-killed antibiotic-resistant E. coli to live, susceptible E. coli. One inhibitor identified from a previous screen (A1) attenuated the rate at which E. coli developed resistance to chloramphenicol in both the presence and absence of heat-killed chloramphenicol-resistant cells. Collaborative studies were also undertaken to identify prospective next-generation RecA inhibitors among virtual compound libraries.
Information transport in multiplex networks

description: In this paper, we study information transport in multiplex networks comprised of two coupled subnetworks. The upper subnetwork, called the logical layer, employs the shortest paths protocol to determine the logical paths for packets transmission, while the lower subnetwork acts as the physical layer, in which packets are delivered by the biased random walk mechanism characterized with a parameter $α$. Through simulation, we obtain the optimal $α$ corresponding to the maximum network lifetime and the maximum number of the arrival packets. Assortative coupling is better than the random coupling and the disassortative coupling, since it achieves much better transmission performances. Generally, the more homogeneous the lower subnetwork, the better the transmission performances are, which is opposite for the upper subnetwork. Finally, we propose an attack centrality for nodes based on the topological information of both subnetworks, and further investigate the transmission performances under targeted attacks. Our work helps to understand the spreading and robustness issues of multiplex networks and provides some clues about the designing of more efficient and robust routing architectures in communication systems.

Agenda Building in the Blogosphere: A Communication Audit of Blogging at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Creators: name: Kuzma, Kimberley
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: A communication audit of blogging at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center was conducted to determine how this social medium may further the hospital's agenda-building capabilities with its audiences. The audit examines the blogs' use of message framing, specifically addressing how relational trust frames highlighting the dimensions competence, dependability, integrity, and transparency contribute to agenda-building success. Audit findings reveal that the blogs exhibit consistent use of key messages containing dimensions of relational trust and that the hospital might augment its agenda-building capabilities by enhancing blog interactivity. The audit concludes by offering suggestions and recommendations on how the hospital might achieve this goal.

description: We present predictions for b-quark production in photoprodcution and compare with experimental data from HERA. Our theoretical predictions are obtained at next-to-leading-order in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme, an approach which takes into account the finite mass of the b quarks. We use realistic evolved nonperturbative fragmentation functions obtained from fits to e+e- data. We find in general good agreement of data with both the GM-VFNS and the FFNS calculations, while the more precise ZEUS data seem to prefer the GM-VFNS predictions.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented public health crisis that has affected individuals’ mental health through social uncertainty, public health interventions s including businesses restrictions, related economic crises, and more (Pfefferbaum and North 2020). The chronic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, persisting for months as compared to the episodic or acute timeframe typical of many collective traumas like hurricanes or terrorist attacks, presents an additional challenge for mental health coping. During crises, the public relies on media for essential information (Ball-Rokeach 1985). It is common for citizens to engage in information-seeking behavior in an attempt to reduce the anxiety and uncertainty surrounding a crisis (Lachlan, Spence, and Seeger 2009; Heath and Gay 1997). Paradoxically, turning to the media has the potential to increase acute stress and general distress among individuals at high levels of repeated media exposure (Holman et al. 2020; Holman, Garfin, and Silver 2014; Thompson et al. 2017). The mental health benefits of exposure to nature are well recognized (Berto 2014; Bratman, Hamilton, and Daily 2012; Bratman et al. 2019). Exposure to nature - time spent outside in natural areas like parks or other green spaces - has robust associations with numerous mental health benefits (Bratman et al. 2019). Nature exposure is linked to reductions in stress, depression and anxiety, improvements in life satisfaction and social connectedness, as well as a broad range of improvements in physiological functioning (see review by Frumkin Howard et al. (2017) for extensive discussion of these topics). At a time of heightened stress and anxiety, we connect and build on these two literatures to explore the effects of media and nature exposure on mental health during COVID-19. Using survey results from a representative sample of 1846 Florida and Texas residents, we will test whether mental health outcomes are associated with hours of daily media exposure and nature exposure, measured by frequency and change in time spent in nature. We will then examine whether time spent in nature moderates the effect of COVID-19 media exposure on mental health. Results have implications for the design of public health interventions and recommendations for individual coping behavior during large scale public health crises.
