New Treatment Paradigm for Lead Poisoning by Modeling Lead Toxicokinetics with the Pharmacokinetics of an Orally Administered Chelator
Creators: name: Wu, Yang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: IntroductionLead poisoning is a serious public health issue that has gained intense attention due to the discovery of excessive amounts of lead in the drinking water in Flint, Michigan. Although treatment recommendations are updated continuously, the medications for lead chelation therapy have not changed substantially for decades. In addition, the current agents have limitations. Therefore, an orally bioavailable novel compound, named C2E2 (diethyl ester of diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid), may offer a new treatment option for the management of large populations affected by lead contamination. In order to establish a dosing regimen for C2E2 for treatment of lead toxicity, the binding property of C2E2 for lead must be first measured in a series of laboratory experiments. Objective: To assess the binding affinity of C2E2 for lead at 5 μg/dL, 45 μg/dL, and 80 μg/dL blood lead levels and in comparison to DTPA.MethodsA series of centrifugation and filtration steps separated the samples into three fractions: C2E2-bound lead, protein-bound lead, and free lead. Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) then measured the lead content of each fraction, which allowed the creation of binding affinity curves via Gauss-Newton non-linear least squares regression analysis.ResultsPercentage recoveries for 5 μg/dL, 45 μg/dL, and 80 μg/dL blood lead concentrations with C2E2 were 804%, 295%, and 203%, respectively. The percentage recovery for DTPA was 14.3% with one hour incubation. The percentage recovery for C2E2 was 20.5% and 15.7% with one hour and four hours of incubations.ConclusionsThe binding profiles for C2E2 and DTPA did not show competitive binding relationships, as indicated by arbitrarily high or very low percentage recoveries of lead. These results suggest that further in vitro experiential analysis is required at a much higher concentration of lead. This study represents the initial step of a larger investigation to optimize dosing regimen for C2E2 by constructing a pharmacokinetic model and to update the pharmacological treatment protocols for lead poisoning.

description: We study in Ising spin glasses the finite-size effects near the spin-glass transition in zero field and at the de Almeida-Thouless transition in a field by Monte Carlo methods and by analytical approximations. In zero field, the finite-size scaling function associated with the spin-glass susceptibility of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean-field spin-glass model is of the same form as that of one-dimensional spin-glass models with power-law long-range interactions in the regime where they can be a proxy for the Edwards-Anderson short-range spin-glass model above the upper critical dimension. We also calculate a simple analytical approximation for the spin-glass susceptibility crossover function. The behavior of the spin-glass susceptibility near the de Almeida-Thouless transition line has also been studied, but here we have only been able to obtain analytically its behavior in the asymptotic limit above and below the transition. We have also simulated the one-dimensional system in a field in the non-mean-field regime to illustrate that when the Imry-Ma droplet length scale exceeds the system size one can then be erroneously lead to conclude that there is a de Almeida-Thouless transition even though it is absent.

description: We investigate the frequency of high carbon-to-oxygen (C/O $= 0.9$) M dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood. Using synthetic spectra, we find that such M dwarfs would have weaker TiO bands relative to hydride features. Similar weakening has already been detected in M-subdwarf (sdM) stars. By comparing to existing spectroscopic surveys of nearby stars, we show that less than one percent of nearby stars have high carbon-to-oxygen ratios. This limit does not include stars with C/O$=0.9$, [m/H]$>0.3$, and [C/Fe]$>0.1$, which we predict to have low-resolution optical spectra similar to solar metallicity M dwarfs.

description: We demonstrate the tunable enhancement of the zero phonon line of a single nitrogen-vacancy color center in diamond at cryogenic temperature. An open cavity fabricated using focused ion beam milling provides mode volumes as small as 1.24 $μ$m$^3$. In-situ tuning of the cavity resonance is achieved with piezoelectric actuators. At optimal coupling of the full open cavity the signal from individual zero phonon line transitions is enhanced by about a factor of 10 and the overall emission rate of the NV$^-$ center is increased by 40% compared with that measured from the same center in the absence of cavity field confinement. This result is important for the realization of efficient spin-photon interfaces and scalable quantum computing using optically addressable solid state spin qubits.

description: Unbiased stochastic sampling of the one- and two-body reduced density matrices is achieved in full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo with the introduction of a second, "replica" ensemble of walkers, whose population evolves in imaginary time independently from the first, and which entails only modest additional computational overheads. The matrices obtained from this approach are shown to be representative of full configuration-interaction quality, and hence provide a realistic opportunity to achieve high-quality results for a range of properties whose operators do not necessarily commute with the hamiltonian. A density-matrix formulated quasi-variational energy estimator having been already proposed and investigated, the present work extends the scope of the theory to take in studies of analytic nuclear forces, molecular dipole moments and polarisabilities, with extensive comparison to exact results where possible. These new results confirm the suitability of the sampling technique and, where sufficiently large basis sets are available, achieve close agreement with experimental values, expanding the scope of the method to new areas of investigation.

description: We demonstrate that a phonon stopband can be synthesized from an aperiodic structure comprising a discrete set of phononic filter stages. Each element of the set has a dispersion relation that defines a complete bandgap when calculated under a Bloch boundary condition. Hence, the effective stopband width in an aperiodic phononic filter (PnF) may readily exceed that of a phononic crystal with a single lattice constant or a coherence scale. With simulations of multi-moded phononic waveguides, we discuss the effects of finite geometry and mode-converting junctions on the phonon transmission in PnFs. The principles described may be utilized to form a wide stopband in acoustic and surface wave media. Relative to the quantum of thermal conductance for a uniform mesoscopic beam, a PnF with a stopband covering 1.6-10.4 GHz is estimated to reduce the thermal conductance by an order of magnitude at 75mK.

Gene position affects protein expression in a 2A polycistronic vector system
Creators: name: Wall, Joseph Blake
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Cellular reprogramming of fibroblasts to cardiomyocyte-like cells is achieved by the introduction of a combination of cardiac transcription factors. Successful reprogramming requires a stoichiometric balance of these transcriptions factors at the protein level. Traditional methods to introduce exogenous gene expression required multiple plasmids to be transfected into a cell for reprogramming. A problem is that cells hardly take up these reprogramming factor plasmids at optimal stoichiometric ratios, which decreases reprogramming efficiency. Polycistronic vectors are attractive thanks to the ability to introduce one plasmid with desired genes for expression into a cell, as opposed to multiple plasmids. The challenge of polycistronic vectors is that eukaryotic cells do not have the cellular machinery to process polycistronic proteins during translation. However, viral oligopeptides (called 2A peptides) have been identified that enable ribosomes to skip the formation of a certain peptide bond, allowing for “cleavage” of polycistronic peptides. Despite this advantage, widespread adoption of 2A polycistronic vectors has been limited due to the lack of systematic comparison of the different 2A sequences in a polycistronic system.
This project sought to characterize the effect of gene position on protein expression in tricistronic 2A constructs containing fluorescent protein (FP) genes in varying positions. To investigate a 2A polycistronic system, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF-T) were infected with retroviruses carrying the polycistronic vector. These transduced cells were then analyzed via fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry in order to quantify the expression of each fluorescent protein. It was determined that the gene in the first position achieved the highest level of expression, followed by the third position, with the second position yielding the lowest protein expression. Such a finding is important because it not only shows that gene order matters, but it
will potentially help further the utilization of 2A polycistronic systems for cellular reprogramming.

description: The kinetic origin of resonance phenomena in capacitively coupled radio frequency plasmas is discovered based on particle-based numerical simulations. The analysis of the spatio-temporal distributions of plasma parameters such as the densities of hot and cold electrons, as well as the conduction and displacement currents reveals the mechanism of the formation of multiple electron beams during sheath expansion. The interplay between highly energetic beam electrons and low energetic bulk electrons is identified as the physical origin of the excitation of harmonics in the current.

description: Cell motion inside dense tissues governs many biological processes, including embryonic development and cancer metastasis, and recent experiments suggest that these tissues exhibit collective glassy behavior. To make quantitative predictions about glass transitions in tissues, we study a self-propelled Voronoi (SPV) model that simultaneously captures polarized cell motility and multi-body cell-cell interactions in a confluent tissue, where there are no gaps between cells. We demonstrate that the model exhibits a jamming transition from a solid-like state to a fluid-like state that is controlled by three parameters: the single-cell motile speed, the persistence time of single-cell tracks, and a target shape index that characterizes the competition between cell-cell adhesion and cortical tension. In contrast to traditional particulate glasses, we are able to identify an experimentally accessible structural order parameter that specifies the entire jamming surface as a function of model parameters. We demonstrate that a continuum Soft Glassy Rheology model precisely captures this transition in the limit of small persistence times, and explain how it fails in the limit of large persistence times. These results provide a framework for understanding the collective solid-to-liquid transitions that have been observed in embryonic development and cancer progression, which may be associated with Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal transition in these tissues.

Bedrock determines the elevational patterns of soil phosphorus pools in a subtropical karst forest(data).xlsx
Creators: name: Zeng, Lian
Publisher: name: figshare

Subjects: Terrestrial ecology

description: Soil phosphorus (P) is an important nutrient limiting the plant productivity. The elevational pattern of soil P concentration is widely used to indicate how it responds to the climatic gradient. However, the bedrock variation in an elevational transect is usually neglected, which could have caused the inconsistent elevational patterns of soil P concentration in previous studies. In present study, we examined elevational patterns of various soil P pools (i.e., labile inorganic P (Pi) and organic P (Po), moderately labile Pi and Po, primary mineral P, and occluded P) in top-soils in an elevational transect with alternating bedrock types (i.e., clasolite and limestone) in a subtropical karst forest.

description: Semilocal and dispersion-corrected density-functional calculations have been performed to study the crystal structure, equation of state, and electronic structure of metal tellurohalides with chemical formula MeTeI where Me=Bi, Au, or Pd. A comparative investigation of the results of these calculations is conducted which reveals the role of van der Waals attraction. It is shown that the prediction of crystal structure of metal tellurohalides is systematically improved thanks to the inclusion of van der Waals dispersion. It is found for BiTeI and AuTeI that the energy versus volume curve is anomalously flat in the vicinity of equilibrium volume and the calculated equation of state has an excessively steep slope in the low-pressure region; these are also fixed in the dispersion-corrected calculations. Analysis based on the computation of the volume and axial compressibilities shows that predicting the anisotropy of BiTeI via the semilocal calculations yields an unrealistic result, whereas the results of dispersion-corrected calculations agree with the experimental compressibility data. Our calculations render that BiTeI (AuTeI) is a narrow band gap semiconductor with Rashba-type spin splitting at the band edges (with an indirect band gap) while PdTeI is a metal with relatively low density of states at the Fermi level. The band gaps of BiTeI and AuTeI obtained via semilocal (dispersion-corrected) calculations are found to be greater (smaller) than the respective experimental values, which is against (in line with) the expected trend. Similarly, the Rashba parameters of BiTeI are bracketed by the respective values obtained via semilocal and dispersion-corrected calculations. Excellent agreement with the experimental Rashba parameters is obtained via interpolation of the calculated (semilocal and dispersion-corrected) values.
Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks: Delay Analysis Considering Energy Costs of Sensing and Transmission

description: Energy harvesting (EH) provides a means of greatly enhancing the lifetime of wireless sensor nodes. However, the randomness inherent in the EH process may cause significant delay for performing sensing operation and transmitting the sensed information to the sink. Unlike most existing studies on the delay performance of EH sensor networks, where only the energy consumption of transmission is considered, we consider the energy costs of both sensing and transmission. Specifically, we consider an EH sensor that monitors some status environmental property and adopts a harvest-then-use protocol to perform sensing and transmission. To comprehensively study the delay performance, we consider two complementary metrics and analytically derive their statistics: (i) update age - measuring the time taken from when information is obtained by the sensor to when the sensed information is successfully transmitted to the sink, i.e., how timely the updated information at the sink is, and (ii) update cycle - measuring the time duration between two consecutive successful transmissions, i.e., how frequently the information at the sink is updated. Our results show that the consideration of sensing energy cost leads to an important tradeoff between the two metrics: more frequent updates result in less timely information available at the sink.

The Flatbed, Modernism and the Silkscreen: Painting from the Canvas to the Screen
Creators: name: Spencer, Tyler
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: This project considers the history or the genealogy of Western painting from Édouard Manet to Andy Warhol. We position these painters within the problematics of Modernism and an after Modernism inaugurated by Warhol and the silkscreen. To do this we deploy the concept of the "flatbed picture plane," taken from art historian Leo Steinberg. We use the flatbed in two ways. First, it acts as a strategic way into the problems raised by Clement Greenberg and his formalist evaluation of Modernism. With the flatbed we propose a clinical survey or diagnosis of the forces of Modernist painting that underlie Greenberg's analysis, but which are ultimately suppressed in order to bolster the claim to the overarching--that is, formal--model of "pictorial flatness." Second, the flatbed introduces the problem of the silkscreen and of a painting that is no longer defined by Modernist categories. Critically, the flatbed is useful insofar as it allows us to think the shortcomings of the formalist conception of Modernist painting and the emergence of another type of painting that follows after it. Clinically, the flatbed becomes a productive generator of other concepts that reconceive the Modernist picture with "other criteria" and demarcate a new situation initiated by the screen.The first section details the concept of the "flatbed picture plane" as Steinberg elaborates it in his essay "Other Criteria." The second section on Modernism expands Steinberg's engagement with Clement Greenberg and supplement's the latter's notion of "pictorial flatness" (an optical category) with an understanding of the tactility of the Modernist canvas and the importance of the hand. The final section shifts from the tactile Modernist picture to the smooth surface of the silkscreen and looks beyond the flatbed to address a universe of screens in the emerging paradigm of the digital.

description: We present a novel hybrid algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning, called H2PC. It first reconstructs the skeleton of a Bayesian network and then performs a Bayesian-scoring greedy hill-climbing search to orient the edges. The algorithm is based on divide-and-conquer constraint-based subroutines to learn the local structure around a target variable. We conduct two series of experimental comparisons of H2PC against Max-Min Hill-Climbing (MMHC), which is currently the most powerful state-of-the-art algorithm for Bayesian network structure learning. First, we use eight well-known Bayesian network benchmarks with various data sizes to assess the quality of the learned structure returned by the algorithms. Our extensive experiments show that H2PC outperforms MMHC in terms of goodness of fit to new data and quality of the network structure with respect to the true dependence structure of the data. Second, we investigate H2PC's ability to solve the multi-label learning problem. We provide theoretical results to characterize and identify graphically the so-called minimal label powersets that appear as irreducible factors in the joint distribution under the faithfulness condition. The multi-label learning problem is then decomposed into a series of multi-class classification problems, where each multi-class variable encodes a label powerset. H2PC is shown to compare favorably to MMHC in terms of global classification accuracy over ten multi-label data sets covering different application domains. Overall, our experiments support the conclusions that local structural learning with H2PC in the form of local neighborhood induction is a theoretically well-motivated and empirically effective learning framework that is well suited to multi-label learning. The source code (in R) of H2PC as well as all data sets used for the empirical tests are publicly available.

description: Compounding has been an essential component in the practice of pharmacy. The
knowledge and skill of compounding provide individualized medication as well as
meet the unique needs of a patient. For this reason, many Schools of Pharmacy
often include compounding education as a part of their pharmacy curriculum to
develop and train compounding skill sets among pharmacy students. However, a
report in 2012 by the American Association of College of Pharmacy (AACP) Council
of Sections Task Force on Compounding Education in Schools of Pharmacy noted
there were major limitations and problems existed in current compounding
education in the United States Schools of Pharmacy1. The most significant
findings from AACP task force are as follows: • There is no standardized
compounding curriculum existed in the United States Schools of Pharmacy. •
Inadequate laboratory facilities, equipments, and reference materials for
compounding education activities are problematic in pharmacy education. At the
University of North Carolina Eshelman School of Pharmacy, new learning
methodology for pharmaceutical compounding education was introduced in 2010 by
completing over 90 pharmaceutical compounding videos and making them accessible
on the course website. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate
pharmaceutical compounding video usage and its effective on pharmacy students’
compounding skills.

description: The cooling phase of thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts can be used to constrain the neutron star (NS) compactness by comparing the observed cooling tracks of bursts to accurate theoretical atmosphere model calculations. By applying the so-called cooling tail method, where the information from the whole cooling track is used, we constrain the mass, radius, and distance for three different NSs in low-mass X-ray binaries 4U 1702-429, 4U 1724-307, and SAX J1810.8-260. Care is taken to only use the hard state bursts where it is thought that only the NS surface alone is emitting. We then utilize a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm within a Bayesian framework to obtain a parameterized equation of state (EoS) of cold dense matter from our initial mass and radius constraints. This allows us to set limits on various nuclear parameters and to constrain an empirical pressure-density relation for the dense matter. Our predicted EoS results in NS radius between 10.5-12.8 km (95% confidence limits) for a mass of 1.4 $M_{\odot}$. Due to systematic errors and uncertainty in the composition these results should be interpreted as lower limits for the radius.

The Autism Social Anhedonia Scale: A social reward processing scale for ASD
Creators: name: McWeeny, Sean
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Traditionally, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been examined through behavioral
manifestations of core social cognitive deficits, such as theory of mind. The Social
Responsiveness Scale (SRS), which is the standard scale for measuring ASD symptomatology, is
rooted in literature based on these cognitive deficits. Studies have come to suggest that social
motivational issues maybe be underlying these deficits rather than purely cognitive systems. The
goal of the present study is to develop a novel scale to assess ASD symptomatology from a
social reward processing perspective using modern factor analytic techniques. There is currently
no scale to assess social reward processing in ASD, and the goal of the ASAS is to create a
useful tool for clinicians in assessing social reward processing difficulties. Based in
neurobiological research on the reward processing system, the Autism Social Anhedonia Scale
(ASAS) was designed with three factors: social liking, social wanting, and social learning. We
generated our own items and received feedback from experts in ASD research and refined those
items. The majority of participants’ responses were collected via an online survey without a
clinical visit. Participants completed the ASAS, the Autism Quotient (AQ), and SRS. By
systematically trimming down items using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory
factor analysis (EFA), we reached a final model that can be used as a stepping-stone toward
future development of this measure. We then related this measure to the SRS, finding a moderate
relationship between the ASAS and SRS, which demonstrated that while they are related, the
ASAS is divergent from the SRS.

A multipath energy-conserving routing protocol for wireless ad hoc networks lifetime improvement

description: Ad hoc networks are wireless mobile networks that can operate without infrastructure and without centralized network management. Traditional techniques of routing are not well adapted. Indeed, their lack of reactivity with respect to the variability of network changes makes them difficult to use. Moreover, conserving energy is a critical concern in the design of routing protocols for ad hoc networks, because most mobile nodes operate with limited battery capacity, and the energy depletion of a node affects not only the node itself but also the overall network lifetime. In all proposed single-path routing schemes a new path-discovery process is required once a path failure is detected, and this process causes delay and wastage of node resources. A multipath routing scheme is an alternative to maximize the network lifetime. In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient multipath routing protocol, called AOMR-LM (Ad hoc On-demand Multipath Routing with Lifetime Maximization), which preserves the residual energy of nodes and balances the consumed energy to increase the network lifetime. To achieve this goal, we used the residual energy of nodes for calculating the node energy level. The multipath selection mechanism uses this energy level to classify the paths. Two parameters are analyzed: the energy threshold beta and the coefficient alpha. These parameters are required to classify the nodes and to ensure the preservation of node energy. Our protocol improves the performance of mobile ad hoc networks by prolonging the lifetime of the network. This novel protocol has been compared with other protocols: AOMDV and ZD-AOMDV. The protocol performance has been evaluated in terms of network lifetime, energy consumption, and end-to-end delay.

Naughty or Narc? The Frequency of Narcissistic Traits in Child Psychiatric Disorders
Creators: name: Moore, Kendall D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Objective: The primary goal of the present study was to assess differing levels of narcissistic traits in children diagnosed with bipolar disorder, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder. Other variables taken into account were gender and socioeconomic background in order to evaluate any changes in participants’ narcissism scores due to these factors.
Method: Secondary analysis of de-identified data was performed from a preexisting research study (NIH R01MH066647). An original narcissism measure was derived from both the parent and self-report versions of the Antisocial Process Screening Device, focusing on items that pertained to narcissistic tendencies in psychopathic adolescents.
Results: Differences in narcissism due to gender and socioeconomic background were generally small and not statistically significant. Children diagnosed with conduct disorder scored significantly higher on the narcissism scales than children diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder (p < .0001), but children diagnosed with bipolar disorder were not statistically different from children with conduct disorder. A regression analysis did indicate bipolar disorder as a possible predictor of narcissism when controlling for manic and depressive episodes (p < .05).
Conclusion: The construct of narcissism is seen at varying levels amongst children diagnosed with bipolar, conduct, and oppositional defiant disorder. Children with conduct disorder generally had the most prevalent narcissistic behaviors, possibly due to factors of age, bipolar disorder having more conceptually-based manic symptoms, and oppositional defiant disorder having higher rates of comorbid unipolar depression. These findings could alter practitioner therapeutic strategies where it should be of interest to screen for additional narcissistic behaviors in children diagnosed with bipolar and conduct disorder and to understand how these behaviors, if present, might affect therapy. Further research should focus on whether bipolar disorder is
indeed a significant predictor of increased narcissistic tendencies as well as whether socioeconomic background affects the development of narcissistic traits.
