description: Intense short laser pulses are an intriguing tool for tailoring surface properties via ultra-fast melting of the surface layer of an irradiated target. Despite extensive studies on the interaction of femto-second laser interaction with matter, the initial steps of the morphological changes are not yet fully understood. Here, we reveal that substantial surface structure changes occur at energy densities far below the melting threshold. By using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy we resolve atomic-scale changes, i.e. the creation of nanosized adatom and vacancy clusters. The two cluster types have distinct non-linear fluence-dependencies. A theoretical analysis reveals their creation and motion to be non-thermal in nature. The formation of these atomistic changes, individually resolved here for the first time, recast our understanding of how surfaces respond to low-intensity ultra-short laser illumination. A visualization and control of the initial morphological changes upon laser illumination are not only of fundamental interest, but pave the way for the designing material properties through surface structuring.

CP violation in neutrino mixing with $δ= -π/2$ in $A_4$ Type-II seesaw model

description: We study a class of models for neutrino mass matrix in Type-II seesaw with $A_4$ family symmetry. The resulting neutrino mass matrix can be naturally made to respect a $μ-τ$ exchange plus CP conjugate symmetry (GLS) with the CP violating phase $δ$ and the mixing angle $θ_{23}$ predicted to be $\pmπ/2$ and $π/4$, respectively. When GLS is explicitly broken by complex Yukawa couplings, the model predictions for $δ$ and $θ_{23}$ can be significantly modified. Should future experiments will indeed determine $θ_{23}$ and $δ_{CP}$ away from the GLS limit values, one then had to consider models with broken GLS. We study several simple scenarios to show how the modifications arise when GLS is broken and how future experiments can test this class of models.

description: Spontaneous pattern formation in Turing systems relies on feedback. Patterns in cells and tissues however often do not form spontaneously, but are under control of upstream pathways that provide molecular guiding cues. The relationship between guiding cues and feedback in controlled biological pattern formation remains unclear. We explored this relationship during cell polarity establishment in the one-cell-stage C. elegans embryo. We quantified the strength of two feedback systems that operate during polarity establishment, feedback between polarity proteins and the actomyosin cortex, and mutual antagonism amongst polarity proteins. We characterized how these feedback systems are modulated by guiding cues from the centrosome. By coupling a mass-conserved Turing-like reaction-diffusion system for polarity proteins to an active gel description of the actomyosin cortex, we reveal a transition point beyond which feedback ensures self-organized polarization even when cues are removed. Notably, the baton is passed from a guide-dominated to a feedback-dominated regime significantly beyond this transition point, which ensures robustness. Together, this reveals a general criterion for controlling biological pattern forming systems: feedback remains subcritical to avoid unstable behaviour, and molecular guiding cues drive the system beyond a transition point for pattern formation.

description: A satellite galaxy or dark matter subhalo that passes through a stellar disk may excite coherent oscillations in the disk perpendicular to its plane. We determine the properties of these modes for various self-gravitating plane symmetric systems (Spitzer sheets) using the matrix method of Kalnajs. In particular, we find an infinite series of modes for the case of a barotropic fluid. In general, for a collisionless system, there is a double series of modes, which include normal modes and/or Landau-damped oscillations depending on the phase space distribution function of the stars. Even Landau-damped oscillations may decay slowly enough to persist for several hundred Myr. We discuss the implications of these results for the recently discovered vertical perturbations in the kinematics of solar neighborhood stars and for broader questions surrounding secular phenomena such as spiral structure in disk galaxies.

description: Surface albedo is an important forcing parameter that drives the radiative energy budget as it determines the fraction of the downwelling solar irradiance that the surface reflects. Here we report on ground-based measurements of the spectral albedo (350–2200 nm) carried out at 20 sites across a North–South transect of approximately 1300 km in the Atacama Desert, from latitude 18° S to latitude 30° S. These spectral measurements were used to evaluate remote sensing estimates of the albedo derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). We found that the relative mean bias error (RMBE) of MODIS-derived estimates was within ± 5% of ground-based measurements in most of the Atacama Desert (18–27° S). Although the correlation between MODIS-derived estimates and ground-based measurements remained relatively high (R= 0.94), RMBE values were slightly larger in the southernmost part of the desert (27–30° S). Both MODIS-derived data and ground-based measurements show that the albedo at some bright spots in the Atacama Desert may be high enough (up to 0.25 in visible range) for considerably boosting the performance of bifacial photovoltaic technologies (6–12%).
Ostomy Education: A Guide for Pediatric Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Creators: name: Stovall, Rebecca
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an umbrella term used to describe the chronic diseases that cause ongoing inflammation in the digestive tract. Pediatric patients with IBD may require ostomy surgery to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms and improve quality of life. While patient teaching is necessary for surgical decision-making and preparation for living with an ostomy, the literature reveals a significant knowledge gap for ostomy education specific to the pediatric IBD population. To counter this existing challenge, the purpose of this project was to utilize innovation, patient experience, and interdisciplinary perspectives to create an educational ostomy guide as a resource for pediatric patients with IBD. Limited ostomy resources targeted towards this underrepresented group prompted the development of an all-encompassing, accessible guide to combat the inadequacies of pre- and post-operative ostomy education. In partnership with the UNC Pediatric Gastroenterology Department, provider and patient focus groups were conducted to evaluate and improve the guide prior to design efforts and publication. As a result, a comprehensive ostomy education guide was created with the intention of addressing questions and concerns of patients that pertain to the surgical experience and daily life with an ostomy and IBD. Up-to-date information through this ostomy education guide, approved by a wide range of professional experts, should provide better support to pediatric patients with IBD and their caregivers throughout the ostomy experience.

description: We simulate a phase-separating a bilayer in which the leaflets experience a direct coupling favouring local compositional symmetry ("registered" bilayer phases), and an indirect coupling due to hydrophobic mismatch that favours strong local asymmetry ("antiregistered" bilayer phases). For wide ranges of overall leaflet compositions, multiple competing states are possible. For estimated physical parameters, a quenched bilayer may first evolve toward a metastable state more asymmetric than if the leaflets were uncorrelated;\ subsequently, it must nucleate to reach its equilibrium, more symmetric, state. These phase-transition kinetics exhibit characteristic signatures through which fundamental and opposing inter-leaflet interactions may be probed. We emphasise how bilayer phase diagrams with a separate axis for each leaflet can account for overall and local symmetry/asymmetry, and capture a range of observations in the experiment and simulation literature.

description: Dealing with supply risks is one of the challenges of decision makers in supply chains as producing and sourcing become more and more complex. Theoretical research on different types of supply uncertainty as well as their management is well covered. Behavioral aspects in this context, however, have not received much attention so far. In this paper, we present an experimental study which aims at investigating how subjects make decisions of ordering and producing in the presence of random production yields at a supplier, i.e. production output is a random fraction of production input. Subjects were confronted with the situation of either the buyer or the supplier in a simple two-tier supply chain with deterministic demand and had to make the respective quantity decisions. Results show that buyers have a good understanding of the situation and are likely to follow a probabilistic choice rule. In addition to that, hedging against supply risks drives their behavior of over-ordering. Suppliers on the other hand start off with moderate production decisions but improve over time which indicates learning effects. Furthermore, the study shows that additional sharing of information on yield rates is no cure for inefficient behavior of the buyer.

Providers’ Perceptions of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Dental Practice for Preventing Prosthetic Joint Infections
Creators: name: Huang, Shuyan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Introduction: Dental antimicrobial prescribing accounts for about 25% of the total oral antibiotics dispensed in the United States; therefore, responsible use of antibiotics in dentistry is important to reduce risk of antimicrobial resistance. However, there is a lack of consistency in the use of antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent prosthetic joint infections (PJI). One contributing factor is the multiple clinical practice guidelines with contradictory recommendations. Additionally, several research projects studied the prescribers’ perceptions of the antibiotic prophylaxis, but few attempts have been made to assess the patients’ perceptions.

Methods: In October 2020, a survey was disseminated to 65 dental providers in three regions of North Carolina. The survey collected the demographic information and assessed the providers’ perceptions of antibiotic prophylaxis as well as their prescribing practice of antibiotic prophylaxis. Survey results were analyzed by descriptive statistics and correlation analysis.

Results: In total, 11 responses were received. The overall response rate was 17%. More than half of the surveyed dentists believed that there was a connection between dental care and PJI (50%), and that PJI may be induced by daily dental cleaning activities (70%). Similarly, 50% dental providers reported that they had prescribed antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with total joint replacement (TJR). The most common reasons they prescribed antibiotic prophylaxis were guideline instructions and risk of legal liability. None of the demographic factors (gender, age, years of training, practice specialty) showed association with dentists’ perception of antibiotic prophylaxis prior to dental procedures for patients with prosthetic joints or the practice of it.

Conclusion: While most dental providers recognize the consequences of overuse of antibiotics, the antibiotic prophylactic regimen is still prevalent regardless of the dental provider’ gender, age, training, or specialty. Discrepancy remains regarding antibiotic prophylaxis protocols used in dentistry and more research regarding the protocols is needed. Our study is exploratory and future studies with larger samples are encouraged.

description: The normalized differential cross section for top quark pair (tt-bar) production is measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV at the CERN LHC using the CMS detector in data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 inverse femtobarns. The measurements are performed in the lepton + jets (e/mu + jets) and in the dilepton (e+e-, mu+mu-, and e+-mu-+) decay channels. The tt-bar cross section is measured as a function of the kinematic properties of the charged leptons, the jets associated to b quarks, the top quarks, and the tt-bar system. The data are compared with several predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics up to approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order precision. No significant deviations are observed relative to the standard model predictions.

A diachronic corpus-based study of taboo language in literary translation from English into Arabic
Creators: name: Asiri, Khalid Mater M.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The present study is a quantitative as well as a qualitative corpus-based investigation of the Arabic translation of taboo language in three English novels, published in Arabic by well-known publishers in the Middle East in 1987, 1999 and 2010. The novels are Lady Chatterley’s lover by D. H. Lawrence (1960) translated as عشيق الليدي تشاترلي 'ashyq al-laydy tshātrly by Hana Aboud (1999), The garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway (1986) translated as جنة عدن jnat ‘adn by Al Sharif Khatier (1987) and Sex and the city (2000 version) by Candace Bushnell translated as بنات المدينة bnāt al-mdīnāh by Abid Ismael (2010). The main research questions investigated in the study are: (1) What strategies are used for the translation of taboo language across the three novels investigated in this study, and are there any notable similarities and differences over time? (2) Is there any correspondence between particular translation strategies and different categories of taboo language, and do these correspondences show similarities or differences across the three novels and the timespan investigated? (3) Based on the above, how may social changes in the receiving system be seen to condition translation choices? Corpus data are extracted from the source text of the English novels as well as the corresponding Arabic translated versions. A quantitative analysis is performed to set up a comparison of frequencies and distribution of taboo words, their categories, and the translation strategies employed by translators of the three novels, aiming at quantifying similarities or differences. The framework adopted for the analysis is based in the paradigm of Descriptive Translation Studies and uses Toury’s (1995) coupled-pairs method. The findings show that translation by a more general word is a predominant strategy, especially when translating sex-related items. However, there is a gradual growth in adopting literal translation strategies across the period included in this study which is explained by language change, and a change in social norms. Furthermore, a notable tendency to transliterate in the older translation is found which reflects translators’ individual differences in terms of their awareness of the target language vocabulary.

Year: 2018

description: Relationships among theory, gaming, learning and socio-technical design are explored in the two contributions which compose the section. The theory in question is ANT, re-interpreted through critical making – an umbrella term for various distinctive practices that link traditional scholarship in the humanities and social sciences to forms of material engagement. Sergio Minniti describes an ongoing project called Game of ANT, which draws upon the critical making approach to design an interactive technology and a workshop experience through which scholars and students can conceptuallymaterially engage with ANT, hence exploring and approaching it from novel points of view. Game of ANT adopts the Latourian vision of technoscience as war and physically embodies this idea by proposing a sort of war game during which participants play the roles of human or non-human actors engaging with the competitive dynamics of socio-technical life. The commentary by Stefano De Paoli proposes new directions to develop the project, by deepening the concept of game and its value for design and learning processes.

PREDICTORS OF BLEEDING IN CANCER PATIENTS RECEIVING DIRECT ORAL ANTICOAGULANT THERAPY FOR VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM TREATMENT
Creators: name: Steinbacher, Donna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Background
The role of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in the treatment of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) has recently been established in several pivotal trials. In these trials, while DOACs were consistently noninferior to low molecular weight heparin in preventing recurrent VTE, bleeding risk was either no different or increased with DOAC use. The aim of this study was to determine predictors of bleeding in patients receiving DOACs for cancer-associated VTE. 
Methods 
A retrospective cohort study was conducted in adult patients prescribed a DOAC for cancer-associated VTE at an academic medical center between April 2014 and December 2018. Predictors for bleeding were assessed at the time of DOAC initiation, and incidence of bleeding was assessed for 6 months following initiation. Bleeding events were defined as major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to determine bleeding predictors. 
Results 
A total of 582 patients were prescribed a DOAC during the study period. Patients had the following characteristics: mean age 61±13 years, 61% female, 69% Caucasian and 25% African American. The majority of patients received either received rivaroxaban or apixaban, 59% and 41% respectively. Across multiple cancer types, 62% had Stage 4 cancer with 25% bone and 10% brain metastases. One hundred and nineteen patients (20%) experienced a bleeding event. Predictors of bleeding included antiplatelet use, hypertension, and adenocarcinoma of the lung.
Conclusion 
In patients receiving DOACs for cancer-associated VTE, several factors were associated with bleeding risk including antiplatelet use, hypertension, and adenocarcinoma of the lung. Caution should be used when prescribing DOACs in these patients. Further investigation in this area is warranted.

description: We investigate the long term behavior in terms of finite dimensional global and exponential attractors, as time goes to infinity, of solutions to a semilinear reaction-diffusion equation on non-smooth domains subject to nonlocal Robin boundary conditions, characterized by the presence of fractional diffusion on the boundary. Our results are of general character and apply to a large class of irregular domains, including domains whose boundary is Holder continuous and domains which have fractal-like geometry. In addition to recovering most of the existing results on existence, regularity, uniqueness, stability, attractor existence, and dimension, for the well-known reaction-diffusion equation in smooth domains, the framework we develop also makes possible a number of new results for all diffusion models in other non-smooth settings.

Civic Hacking. Redefining Hackers and Civic Participation
Creators: name: Ermoshina, Ksenia
Publisher: name: Tecnoscienza – Italian Journal of Science & Technology Studies
Year: 2018

description: Civic hacking movement, born at the times of Obama campaign, promotes trust in programming code as a new tool able to solve a large variety of public problems usually delegated to public services or dedicated private institutions. Based on a four-year STS-inspired ethnography of “civic hackathons” in France and Russia, the paper aims to draw a profile of a “civic hacker” and grasp the transformations of civic participation brought by this phenomenon. Beyond technoscepticism and solutionism, the author suggests to follow the actors in their work of “putting problems into code” and proposes a pragmatist approach to civic hacking. While recent studies have been critical of civic hacking as part of the broader neoliberal transformations of labor, the author argues that, in the context of distrust towards traditional political institutions and repertoires of contention, civic hacking can assist construction of public problems, and can also mean “hacking the civics”.

description: Many studies show the sensitivity of our environment to manmade changes, especially the anthropogenic impact on atmospheric and hydrological processes. The effect on Solid Earth processes such as subsidence is less straightforward. Subsidence is usually slow and relates to the interplay of complex hydro-mechanical processes, thus making relations to atmospheric changes difficult to observe. In the Dead Sea (DS) region, however, climatic forcing is strong and over-use of fresh water is massive. An observation period of 3 years was thus sufficient to link the high evaporation (97 cm/year) and the subsequent drop of the Dead Sea lake level (− 110 cm/year), with high subsidence rates of the Earth’s surface (− 15 cm/year). Applying innovative Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) techniques, we are able to resolve this subsidence of the “Solid Earth” even on a monthly basis and show that it behaves synchronous to atmospheric and hydrological changes with a time lag of two months. We show that the amplitude and fluctuation period of ground deformation is related to poro-elastic hydro-mechanical soil response to lake level changes. This provides, to our knowledge, a first direct link between shore subsidence, lake-level drop and evaporation.

description: Radium-223, abiraterone, and enzalutamide have each been shown to significantly improve survival as monotherapy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, effects of combination radium-223 plus abiraterone or enzalutamide on survival and safety remain unclear. This single-center retrospective cohort study used electronic health record data of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases who were treated with radium-223 between April 1, 2014 and February 19, 2019. Patients who received radium-223 monotherapy were compared to patients who received a combination of radium-223 plus either abiraterone or enzalutamide. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival, time to symptomatic skeletal event (SSE), SSE-free survival, and incidence of drug-related adverse events. Time-to-event analyses were estimated by log rank tests using Kaplan-Meier curves. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were derived from Cox proportional hazards models. Chi-square tests evaluated differences in serious adverse events between the two arms. A total of 60 patients met inclusion criteria (n=41 in the monotherapy arm, n=19 in the combination arm). Differences in median overall survival were not observed (12.7 vs. 12.8 months; HR 1.15, 95% CI 0.59-2.23; P=0.68), but median progression-free survival was significantly longer in the combination arm (7.6 vs. 4.9 months; HR 1.94, 95% CI 1.11-3.40; P=0.02). Significant differences were not observed in time to first SSE (P=0.97), SSE-free survival (P=0.16), or in the overall incidence of serious adverse events (P=0.45). Combination radium-223 plus abiraterone or enzalutamide did not improve overall survival but prolonged progression-free survival without increasing the incidence of serious adverse events in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. However, these results are limited by small numbers and patient selection inherent in retrospective analysis.

description: The motto of Internetting everything, everywhere, all the time is becoming reality thanks to the increasing number and diversity of devices with Internet connectivity such as smartphones, tablets, wearable devices, and connected vehicles. However, existing resource allocation and optimization mechanisms do not address the full range of challenges, specifically heterogeneity due to the diverse and dynamic nature of these devices. The goal of this thesis is to develop new networking mechanisms that make better use of available resources by taking into account the heterogeneity. We first focus on transportation systems of heterogeneously connected vehicles, where not all vehicles are able to communicate due to equipment limitation, privacy and security concerns, and lossy communication channels. We develop (i) a connectivity-aware traffic phase scheduling algorithm that increases the average number of vehicles that are allowed to pass the intersection, and (ii) a shortest routing algorithm with minimum traveling delay between two points in a transportation network. Then we consider a wireless network where an arbitrary number of heterogeneous queues (per-flow and FIFO queues) with arbitrary number of flows share the same wireless medium. We develop a resource allocation scheme; dFC, and a stochastic flow control and scheduling algorithm; qFC, that significantly improve the throughput of the wireless network, as compared to the well-known queue-based flow control and max-weight scheduling. Furthermore, we consider a cellular network with heterogeneous priority traffic (foreground vs background) for Internet of Things. We develop in-network traffic controller for low priority background traffic that quickly yields to foreground traffic when the network is congested, and quickly recaptures spare capacity when it becomes lightly loaded. Lastly, we focus on distributed computing systems with hard deadlines where a computation intensive task is divided into sub-tasks and allocated to heterogeneous helper devices. We explore the benefit of (n,k) MDS coded computation over uncoded computation and develop optimal k that maximizes the probability of meeting the deadline.
Natural NMSSM with a Light Singlet Higgs and Singlino LSP

description: Supersymmetry (SUSY) is an attractive extension of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics which solves the SM hierarchy problem. Motivated by the theoretical $μ$-term problem of the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM), the Next-to MSSM (NMSSM) can also account for experimental deviations from the SM like the anomalous muon magnetic moment and the dark matter relic density. Natural SUSY, motivated by naturalness considerations, exhibits small fine tuning and a characteristic phenomenology with light higgsinos, stops and gluinos. We describe a scan in NMSSM parameter space motivated by Natural SUSY and guided by the phenomenology of an NMSSM with a slightly broken Peccei-Quinn symmetry and a lightly coupled singlet. We identify a scenario which survives experimental constraints with a light singlet Higgs and a singlino lightest SUSY particle. We then discuss how the scenario is not presently excluded by searches at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and which channels are promising for discovery at the LHC and International Linear Collider.

Risky Mixings: Unravelling Gametes’ Bad Potential in Argenti

description: In both the expert and mass media cultures to which they simultaneously belong, ova and sperm have come to figure prominently as entities of potentiality, of expansion of the vital capabilities of bodies and of regeneration of their exhausted capacities. This article looks into the practices of gamete exchange in Argentina to argue, however, a different story. It contends that for all the good potentiality that gametes have come to represent, they are also entangled in webs of risk. They can be extracted too much or too often, decrease their provider’s expectation of good health, or create wrongful (i.e. incestuous and/or endogamous) bodily links between individuals. Drawing on analyses of the actual use of statistical measures in the clinic; and of ways of understanding kinship that are particular to Argentina, the article suggests that the handling of gametes as risky substances may ultimately work to produce the risks that it only aims to prevent. The study brought together the literature on kinship and science studies in order to frame the problematic of kinship and risk management in technoscience.

description: We predict that an anisotropic charge Kondo effect appears in a triple quantum dot, when the system has two-fold degenerate ground states of (1,1,0) and (0,0,1) charge configurations. Using bosonization and refermionization methods, we find that at low temperature, the system has the two different phases of massive charge fluctuations between the two charge configurations and vanishing fluctuations, which are equivalent with the Kondo-screened and ferromagnetic phases of the anisotropic Kondo model, respectively. The phase transition is identifiable by electron conductance measurement, offering the possibility of experimentally exploring the anisotropic Kondo model. Our charge Kondo effect has similar origin to that in a negative-U Anderson impurity.

description: Predicting radiative forcing due to Antarctic stratospheric ozone recovery requires detecting changes in the ozone vertical distribution. In this endeavor, the Limb Profiler of the Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS-LP), aboard the Suomi NPP satellite, has played a key role providing ozone profiles over Antarctica since 2011. Here, we compare ozone profiles derived from OMPS-LP data (version 2.5 algorithm) with balloon-borne ozonesondes launched from 8 Antarctic stations over the period 2012–2020. Comparisons focus on the layer from 12.5 to 27.5 km and include ozone profiles retrieved during the Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) event registered in Spring 2019. We found that, over the period December-January–February-March, the root mean square error (RMSE) tends to be larger (about 20%) in the lower stratosphere (12.5–17.5 km) and smaller (about 10%) within higher layers (17.5–27.5 km). During the ozone hole season (September–October–November), RMSE values rise up to 40% within the layer from 12.5 to 22 km. Nevertheless, relative to balloon-borne measurements, the mean bias error of OMPS-derived Antarctic ozone profiles is generally lower than 0.3 ppmv, regardless of the season.
