The Effect and Timing of Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Resilience Factors as Mediators of the Relationship between Maltreatment and Depression Across the Life Course
Creators: name: Kilgore, Ruhiyyih
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Child abuse and neglect has been associated with a number of poor psychological and health related outcomes in adulthood, however many adults with histories of maltreatment do not experience these negative outcomes. The concept of resilience refers to healthy psychological functioning in the face of adversity in childhood and child maltreatment in particular. Some research has been conducted exploring the effects of factors promoting resilience to depression in adulthood following child maltreatment exposure, yet studies are overwhelmingly cross-sectional in nature. In addition, to my knowledge there have been no studies assessing the role of inter- and intrapersonal resilience factors over time to evaluate their continued importance in resilience to depression. Thus, the goals of this systematic review were a) to evaluate studies examining the associations between child maltreatment, adult depression/recurrent depression into adulthood, and the mitigating role of one or more factors of interest associated with resilience to depression (self-esteem, social support from parents and friends, and the absence of avoidant coping skills and peer associated delinquency), b) to assess the degree to which longitudinal studies contribute to this research, and c) to determine whether studies examined the importance of timing of resilience factors on the outcome of depression.

description: In planar slow-fast systems, fractal analysis of (bounded) sequences in $\mathbb R$ has proved important for detection of the first non-zero Lyapunov quantity in singular Hopf bifurcations, determination of the maximum number of limit cycles produced by slow-fast cycles, defined in the finite plane, etc. One uses the notion of Minkowski dimension of sequences generated by slow relation function. Following a similar approach, together with Poincaré--Lyapunov compactification, in this paper we focus on a fractal analysis near infinity of the slow-fast generalized Liénard equations $\dot x=y-\sum_{k=0}^{n+1} B_kx^k,\ \dot y=-ε\sum_{k=0}^{m}A_kx^k$. We extend the definition of the Minkowski dimension to unbounded sequences. This helps us better understand the fractal nature of slow-fast cycles that are detected inside the slow-fast Liénard equations and contain a part at infinity.

description: Context: Social exclusion is characterised by and represents a form of disadvantage and marginalisation of vulnerable groups of people in society, who cannot fully participate in the normal activities of daily living. Socially excluded groups consist of, but are not limited to the following groups: people experiencing homelessness, asylum seekers and refugees. People from socially excluded groups have complex healthcare needs including infectious and non-communicable diseases. People from socially excluded groups tend to present more to the acute hospital setting as emergency presentations. Little is known about barriers and facilitators experienced by these groups to accessing non hospital based care. Objectives: This mixed methods systematic review, will critically examine the concept of ‘barriers’ and ‘facilitators’ for refugees, asylum seekers and people experiencing homelessness, to accessing non hospital based care. Methods: This methodological review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for conducting mixed methods reviews. The following databases will be searched: Central Medline, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library. Relevant grey literature will be included. Title and abstract screening, followed by full-text screening will be undertaken independently by two reviewers. The Joanna Briggs Institute extraction tool will be adapted for data extraction. Discussion: This mixed method review will comprehensively evaluate quantitative and qualitative data, synthesise both barriers and facilitators and follow a systematic approach through establishing use of mixed methods research across a number of marginalised groups, and how they affect accessing non hospital based care. It will explore conceptual models of access to healthcare and how they influence these factors.

description: We review an explicit approach to obtaining numerical solutions of the Schrödinger equation that is conceptionally straightforward and capable of significant accuracy and efficiency. The method and its efficacy are illustrated with several examples. Because of its explicit nature, the algorithm can be readily extended to systems with a higher number of spatial dimensions. We show that the method also generalizes the staggered-time approach of Visscher and allows for the accurate calculation of the real and imaginary parts of the wave function separately.

We study the effect of mixing between the second and the third generation of squarks, taking into account the constraints on QFV from B-meson data. We discuss the renormalisation of the process as well as the resummation of the bottom Yukawa coupling at large $\tan β$. We show numerical results on the decay width $Γ(h^0 \to b \bar{b})$ as a function of the involved QFV parameters and compare them with the corresponding width in the Standard Model.

HIV/AIDS and Older Women: Understanding HIV Testing Behaviors in a High-Risk Community
Creators: name: Akers, Aletha, MD
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Americans 50 years of age and older have consistently represented 10% of all HIV/AIDS cases since early in the epidemic. However, in recent years, the proportion of cases among older persons has begun to rise 3 with people over the age of 50 represented 14% of all HIV/AIDS cases in 2003. As with younger adults, HIV/AIDS cases among older adults are not equally distributed between different socio-demographic groups. Males are primarily affected but rates among older women are rising faster than rates among older men. There are also marked racial/ethnic disparities with African Americans and Hispanics disproportionately affected. Despite these facts, HIV testing rates among older persons are low compared to younger adults, particularly among older women. Although 44% of young adults have been tested in their lifetime, only 10-15% of those aged 45-64 have undergone testing. Older adults who are tested frequently do so late in their disease course. As a consequence, they are more likely to present with opportunistic infections, progress to AIDS, or die within a year of HIV diagnosis leaving little opportunity for treatment or secondary prevention. For my Master's paper, I performed a secondary data analysis examining the sociodemographic factors associated with past HIV testing, current interest in HIV testing, and the reasons for interest in HIV testing in an older, female population.

description: Using symmetry analysis and semiclassical Boltzmann equation, we theoretically explore the planar Hall effect (PHE) in three-dimensional materials. We demonstrate that PHE is a general phenomenon that can occur in various systems regardless of band topology. Both the Lorentz force and Berry curvature effects can induce significant PHE, and the leading contributions of both effects linearly depend on the electric and magnetic fields. The Lorentz force and Berry curvature PHE coefficient possess only antisymmetric and symmetric parts, respectively. Both contributions respect the same crystalline symmetry constraints but differ under time-reversal symmetry. Remarkably, for topological Weyl semimetal, the Berry curvature PHE coefficient is a constant that does not depends on the Fermi energy, while the Lorentz force contribution linearly increases with the Fermi energy, resulting from the linear dispersion of the Weyl point. Furthermore, we find that the PHE in topological nodal line semimetals is mainly induced by the Lorentz force, as the Berry curvature in these systems vanishes near the nodal line. Our study not only highlights the significance of the Lorentz force in PHE, but also reveals its unique characteristics, which will be beneficial for determining the Lorentz force contribution experimentally.

description: We study the structure of reverse shocks formed by the collision of supersonic, magnetised plasma flows driven by an inverse (or exploding) wire array with a planar conducting obstacle. We observe that the structure of these reverse shocks varies dramatically with wire material, despite the similar upstream flow velocities and mass densities. For aluminium wire arrays, the shock is sharp and well defined, consistent with magneto-hydrodynamic theory. In contrast, we do not observe a well-defined shock using tungsten wires, instead, we see a broad region dominated by density fluctuations on a wide range of spatial scales. We diagnose these two very different interactions using interferometry, Thomson scattering, shadowgraphy, and a newly developed imaging refractometer which is sensitive to small deflections of the probing laser corresponding to small-scale density perturbations. We conclude that the differences in shock structure are most likely due to radiative cooling instabilities which create small-scale density perturbations elongated along magnetic field lines in the tungsten plasma. These instabilities grow more slowly and are smoothed by thermal conduction in the aluminium plasma.
A new method to measure galaxy bias by combining the density and weak lensing fields

description: We present a new method to measure the redshift-dependent galaxy bias by combining information from the galaxy density field and the weak lensing field. This method is based on Amara et al. (2012), where they use the galaxy density field to construct a bias-weighted convergence field kg. The main difference between Amara et al. (2012) and our new implementation is that here we present another way to measure galaxy bias using tomography instead of bias parameterizations. The correlation between kg and the true lensing field k allows us to measure galaxy bias using different zero-lag correlations, such as / or /. Our method measures the linear bias factor on linear scales under the assumption of no stochasticity between galaxies and matter. We use the MICE simulation to measure the linear galaxy bias for a flux-limited sample (i < 22.5) in tomographic redshift bins using this method. This paper is the first that studies the accuracy and systematic uncertainties associated with the implementation of the method, and the regime where it is consistent with the linear galaxy bias defined by projected 2-point correlation functions (2PCF). We find that our method is consistent with linear bias at the percent level for scales larger than 30 arcmin, while nonlinearities appear at smaller scales. This measurement is a good complement to other measurements of bias, since it does not depend strongly on sigma8 as the 2PCF measurements. We apply this method to the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data in a follow-up paper.

Shared Decision Making: Where Evidence Based Medicine Meets Patient-Centered Care
Creators: name: Feldman, Rachel, MD
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Shared Decision Making bridges patient-centered care with evidence based medicine, while at the same time highlighting the tensions between them. Shared decision making, a structured form of patient-centered communication, includes information exchange, deliberation and consensus building and is advocated in clinical situations where the evidence leaves room for more than one medically reasonable choice. Based on the ethical principal of patient autonomy, the central tenants of shared decision making are: understanding the patient from a bio-psychosocial perspective, empowering the patient to be an active participant in the decision making process, and incorporating patients’ values and preferences into the decision. In the context of chronic disease care the provider patient relationship becomes a paramount. Shared decision making has been shown to increase patient knowledge, decrease consultation time, improve patient satisfaction, and reduce decisional conflict. However translating shared decision making into clinical practice remains difficult. A complex intervention, implementation requires provider behavior change as well as skills training for the competencies of shared decision making which includes patient-centered communication and conveyance of risk. Decision support interventions, especially through the use of decision aids, assist the process of shared decision making. Assessing quality in patient-centered decision making remains a challenging task. Quality monitoring programs using current performance measures fail to account for patient-centered care and are even at odds with it. Clear definitions of high quality decision making and patient-centered measures need to be developed and operationalized for use in quality monitoring in clinical practice in order to including patient centered decision making in measurement of quality care. Financial incentives such as pay for performance need to be realigned to support patient-centered care and to encourage patient-centered decision making. Practice guidelines need to be made more patient-centered by making preference sensitive decision points explicit and including tools of shared decision making, such as decision aids, directly into their content. Broader systemic changes are needed to create a system that values and rewards patient-centered care and shared decision making.

description: Data from the experiment on the 197Au + 197Au reaction at 23 AMeV are analyzed with an aim to find signatures of exotic nuclear configurations such as toroid-shaped objects. The experimental data are compared with predictions of the ETNA code dedicated to look for such configurations and with the QMD model. A novel criterion of selecting events possibly resulting from the formation of exotic freeze-out configurations, "the efficiency factor", is tested. Comparison between experimental data and model predictions may indicate for the formation of flat/toroidal nuclear systems.
Topologically protected Grover's oracle for the partition problem

description: The Number Partitioning Problem (NPP) is one of the NP-complete computational problems. Its definite exact solution generally requires a check of all $N$ solution candidates, which is exponentially large. Here we describe a path to the fast solution of this problem in $\sqrt{N}$ quasi-adiabatic quantum annealing steps. We argue that the errors due to the finite duration of the quantum annealing can be suppressed if the annealing time scales with $N$ only logarithmically. Moreover, our adiabatic oracle is topologically protected, in the sense that it is robust against small uncertainty and slow time-dependence of the physical parameters or the choice of the annealing protocol.

description: Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a promising two-dimensional (2D) material for many applications in photonics. Although its linear and nonlinear optical properties have been extensively studied, its interaction with high-intensity laser pulses, which is important for high-harmonic generation, fabricating quantum emitters, and maskless patterning of hBN, has not been investigated. Here we report the first study of dielectric breakdown in hBN monolayers induced by single femtosecond laser pulses. We show that hBN has the highest breakdown threshold among all existing 2D materials. This enables us to observe clearly for the first time a linear dependence of breakdown threshold on the bandgap energy for 2D materials, demonstrating such a linear dependency is a universal scaling law independent of the dimensionality. We also observe counter-intuitively that hBN, which has a larger bandgap and mechanical strength than quartz, has a lower breakdown threshold. This implies carrier generation in hBN is much more efficient. Furthermore, we demonstrate the clean removal of hBN without damage to the surrounding hBN film or the substrate, indicating that hBN is optically very robust. The ablated features are shown to possess very small edge roughness, which is attributed to its ultrahigh fracture toughness. Finally, we demonstrate femtosecond laser patterning of hBN with sub-wavelength resolution, including an isolated stripe width of 200 nm. Our work advances the knowledge of light-hBN interaction in the strong field regime and firmly establishes femtosecond lasers as novel and promising tools for one-step deterministic patterning of hBN monolayers.

description: Motivated by recent advances in the inverse design of electromagnetic materials, we develop two methods for manipulating flexural waves on thin elastic plates. Firstly, we derive a technique for determining plate pinning or mass-loading of a thin plate, designing structures that focus elastic energy, or isolate a region of space from vibrations. Taking inspiration from the adjoint method in electromagnetism, we show how to design graded plates to act as lenses or perform mode shaping. Both of the methods presented are simple, versatile and straightforward to implement, making them useful for designing a wide range of devices for sensing, energy harvesting and vibration isolation.

Parallel Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Non-Gaussian Posterior Distributions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Recent developments in big data and analytics research have produced an abundance of large data sets that are too big to be analyzed in their entirety, due to limits on computer memory or storage capacity. To address these issues, communication-free parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have been developed for Bayesian analysis of big data. These methods partition data into manageable subsets, perform independent Bayesian MCMC analysis on each subset, and combine the subset posterior samples to estimate the full data posterior. Current approaches to combining subset posterior samples include sample averaging, weighted averaging, and kernel smoothing techniques. Although these methods work well for Gaussian posteriors, they are not well-suited to non-Gaussian posterior distributions. Here, we develop a new direct density product method for combining subset marginal posterior samples to estimate full data marginal posterior densities. Using a commonly-implemented distance metric, we show in simulation studies of Bayesian models with non-Gaussian posteriors that our method outperforms the existing methods in approximating the full data marginal posteriors. Since our method estimates only marginal densities, there is no limitation on the number of model parameters analyzed. Our procedure is suitable for Bayesian models with unknown parameters with fixed dimension in continuous parameter spaces.

More precisely, we prove: $$\|R^t_jf\|_{L^p}\leq\|R_jf\|_{L^p}$$ and $$\|R^t_j\|_{L^p}=\|R_j\|_{L^p},$$ for all $10.$

description: We present a method for the digital fabrication of surfaces whose appearance varies based on viewing direction. The surfaces are constructed from a mesh of bars arranged in a self-occluding colored heightfield that creates the desired view-dependent effects. At the heart of our method is a novel and simple differentiable rendering algorithm specifically designed to render colored 3D heightfields and enable efficient calculation of the gradient of appearance with respect to heights and colors. This algorithm forms the basis of a coarse-to-fine ML-based optimization process that adjusts the heights and colors of the strips to minimize the loss between the desired and real surface appearance from each viewpoint, deriving meshes that can then be fabricated using a 3D printer. Using our method, we demonstrate both synthetic and real-world fabricated results with view-dependent appearance.

A Review of the Literature on Adolescent Smoking and Cessation Programs

description: Over 4.5 million adolescents smoke cigarettes (Johnston, 2001; American Lung Association, 2003) half of all adolescents who become addicted to cigarettes will smoke for at least 20 years before they quit (Choi, Ahluwalia, Nazir, 2002), 80% of adult smokers began when they were adolescents (Abrantes et al., 2008), and an estimated 6.4 million children aged <18 years living today will die prematurely as adults because they began using tobacco during adolescence (American Lung Association, 2003; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2006c). A majority of adolescents wants to quit tobacco with up to two-thirds reporting an attempt at quitting in 2007 (Abrantes et al., 2008). Smoking cessation programs for adolescents are not well studied and have not received the same amount of research that smoking cessation programs for adults have received (Sussman, Sun, Dent, 2006; Abrantes et al., 2008). This review of the literature on adolescent smoking and cessation programs provides a summary of what has been studied to date and what needs to be done in order to provide the best evidence-based smoking cessation programs for adolescents.

description: We discuss implications of the cosmological frame principle which states that cosmological effects of modified gravity must be stable as solutions of each of the corresponding sets of dynamical equations holding in the two conformally-related frames. We show that there are such globally stable, `frame-independent' solutions describing cosmic acceleration, suggesting that they may represent a physically relevant effect. This result highlights the importance of further investigation into the implications of the frame principle for cosmological properties that rely on the use of conformal frames.

description: The empty perovskite ScF3 exhibits negative thermal expansion up to 1100 K. We demonstrate that ab-initio calculations of temperature-dependent effective phonon spectra allow to quantitatively describe the behavior of this compound and the suppression of negative thermal expansion. Based on this result, we predict an anomalous temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity and interpret it as a general feature of the perovskite class. Finally, we comment on the fact that the suppression of negative thermal expansion at such a high temperature is beyond the reach of the quasi-harmonic approximation and we discuss this suppression based on the temperature-dependence of the mode Grüneisen parameters.

The Use of a Standardized Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire to Assess the Quality of Care Provided by Ophthalmology Residents
Creators: name: Jagadeesan, Raja
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Purpose: To use a standardized patient satisfaction questionnaire to address 4 main study questions: (1) what is the overall level of satisfaction with resident care, (2) whether residents differ in the level of satisfaction patients have with their care, (3) whether the race of the patient affects level of satisfaction with residents, and (4) whether racial congruence (patients seeing resident providers of the same race) affects level of satisfaction. Method: A total of 167 patients of five Duke University Ophthalmology residents completed a 31-item standardized patient satisfaction questionnaire developed at the Duke University Medical Center. The survey was administered at the Durham Veterans Administration Hospital Eye Clinic. The questionnaire assessed four areas of care: Interpersonal Manner, Communication, Technical Quality, and Professionalism. Overall scores were used to assess overall levels of satisfaction with care. Bivariate analysis was used to assess scores by resident, by race, and by racial congruence between patients and their resident providers. Results: Mean scores on a 5-point scale were 4.46 for Interpersonal Manner, 4.46 for Communication, 4.27 for Technical Quality, and 4.63 for Professionalism. Analysis by resident yielded statistically significant differences in scores between residents on the Interpersonal Manner (p=.02) and Communication (p=.03) subscales, but not on the Technical Quality (p=.84) or Professionalism (p=.40) subscales. Analysis by race or racial congruence did not yield significant differences in any subscale. Conclusion: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has established six areas of patient care "general competencies" in which all residency programs are mandated to train and evaluate residents. With a mandate to measure specific competencies, new measurement tools must be developed. We used a modified version of a patient satisfaction survey developed at Duke University to measure 3 components of the general competencies. While more validation of this survey instrument is needed, we found a high level of quality of care, as measured by patient satisfaction, was provided by residents in this setting.
Conditions for the Absence of Infrared Sensitivity in Cosmological Probes in Any Gravity Theories

description: Large-scale surveys allow us to construct cosmological probes such as galaxy clustering, weak gravitational lensing, the luminosity distance, and cosmic microwave background anisotropies. The gauge-invariant descriptions of these cosmological probes reveal the presence of numerous relativistic effects in the cosmological probes, and they are sensitive (or even divergent) to the long wave-length fluctuations in the initial conditions. In the standard $Λ$CDM model, this infrared sensitivity is absent due to subtle cancellations among the relativistic contributions, once the Einstein equation is used. Here we derive the most general conditions for the absence of infrared sensitivity in the cosmological probes without committing to general relativity. We discuss the implications of our results for gravity theories beyond general relativity.

Growing White Dwarfs to the Chandrasekhar Limit: The Parameter Space of the Single Degenerate SNIa Channel

description: Can a white dwarf, accreting hydrogen-rich matter from a non-degenerate companion star, ever exceed the Chandrasekhar mass and explode as a type Ia supernova? We explore the range of accretion rates that allow a white dwarf (WD) to secularly grow in mass, and derive limits on the accretion rate and on the initial mass that will allow it to reach $1.4M_\odot$ --- the Chandrasekhar mass. We follow the evolution through a long series of hydrogen flashes, during which a thick helium shell accumulates. This determines the effective helium mass accretion rate for long-term, self-consistent evolutionary runs with helium flashes. We find that net mass accumulation always occurs despite helium flashes. Although the amount of mass lost during the first few helium shell flashes is a significant fraction of that accumulated prior to the flash, that fraction decreases with repeated helium shell flashes. Eventually no mass is ejected at all during subsequent flashes. This unexpected result occurs because of continual heating of the WD interior by the helium shell flashes near its surface. The effect of heating is to lower the electron degeneracy throughout the WD, and especially in the outer layers. This key result yields helium burning that is quasi-steady state, instead of explosive. We thus find a remarkably large parameter space within which long-term, self-consistent simulations show that a WD can grow in mass and reach the Chandrasekhar limit, despite its helium flashes.
