description: We systematically performed numerical-relativity simulations for black hole (BH) - neutron star (NS) binary mergers with a variety of the BH spin orientation and equations of state (EOS) of the NS. The initial misalignment angles of the BH spin are chosen in the range of i_tilt,0 = 30--90[deg.]. We employed four models of NS EOS with which the compactness of the NS is in the range of C = M_NS/R_NS = 0.138--0.180, where M_NS and R_NS are the mass and the radius of the NS, respectively. The mass ratio of the BH to the NS, Q = M_BH/M_NS, and the dimensionless spin parameter of the BH, chi, are chosen to be Q = 5 and chi = 0.75, together with M_NS = 1.35 M_sun. We obtain the following results: (i) The inclination angle of i_tilt,0 < 70[deg.] and i_tilt,0 < 50[deg.] are required for the formation of a remnant disk with its mass larger than 0.1 M_sun for the case C = 0.140 and C = 0.160, respectively, while the disk mass is always smaller than 0.1M_sun for C = 0.175. The ejecta with its mass larger than 0.01 M_sun is obtained for i_tilt,0 < 85[deg.] with C = 0.140, for i_tilt,0 < 65[deg.] with C = 0.160, and for i_tilt,0 < 30[deg.] with C = 0.175. (ii) The rotational axis of the dense part of the remnant disk is approximately aligned with the remnant BH spin for i_tilt,0 = 30[deg.]. On the other hand, the disk axis is misaligned initially with ~ 30[deg.] for i_tilt,0 = 60[deg.], and the alignment with the remnant BH spin is achieved at ~ 50--60 ms after the onset of merger. The accretion time scale of the remnant disk is typically ~ 100 ms and depends only weakly on the misalignment angle and the EOS. (iii) The ejecta velocity is typically ~ 0.2--0.3c and depends only weakly on i_tilt,0 and the EOS of the NS, while the morphology of the ejecta depends on its mass. (iv) The gravitational-wave spectra contains the information of the NS compactness in the cutoff frequency for i_tilt,0 < 60[deg.].

description: Ficus rojasi H. Lév. in Rojas Acosta, Bull. Géogr. Bot. 28: 160. 1918, non Hassler (1919), nom. illeg.
 Neotype (designated here): — ARGENTINA. Salta, 27 June 1944, Rojas 11272 (LIL-108031!).
 Nomenclatural notes:— The protologue does not include the collector’s name, collector’s number, or herbarium where the type of F.rojasi was deposited. Only the locality is stated: banks of Bermejo River border (Argentina). Based on the scanty information available from the protologue, the type was never found (Berg & Villavicencio 2004). To solve this problem, we selected the specimen Rojas 11272 (LIL) as a neotype because it was collected in Salta, one of the regions where the Rio Bermejo, which is mentioned in the protologue, runs through. The specimen also has the characteristics described in protologue.
 Taxonomical notes:— Berg & Villavicencio (2004) cited Ficus rojasi as a possible synonymous for Ficus maroma Castellanos. If this hypothesis is confirmed the species must be named as Ficus rojasi because of the priority rules (Turland et al. 2018).

Minority Representation and Redistricting
Creators: name: Mengert, Matthew

description: The redrawing of legislative district boundaries is one of most effective ways of elevating the level of minority representation in Congress, but it can similarly be the principal way in which representation and influence are diluted. In this paper, minority representation is evaluated through descriptive representation and substantive representation. Examining the ways in which different bodies redistrict and provide for representation, this study assesses a potential tradeoff that is produced through the creation of districts that provide for descriptive representation. The findings herein suggest that the concentrations of minority populations in districts significantly influence the support of pertinent civil rights legislation. Similarly, the method used to draw the districts produces differing levels of descriptive and substantive representation. This study demonstrates the importance of the close monitoring of redistricting practices, the positive and negative effects of districts with high levels of minority concentration and further provides a framework upon which the decision in Shelby County v. Holder can be understood as potentially threatening to the half century of successes provided for by the Voting Rights Act.

description: Most studies in moral psychology contrast ‘deontological’ and ‘consequentialist’ (or ‘utilitarian’) moral judgments. However, these studies usually investigate this opposition in cases of sacrificial dilemmas (i.e. cases in which one person’s life must be forfeited to save many lives). Our goal in this project is to study this opposition in a broader range of cases. To this end, we designed 60 scenarios supposed to pit deontological vs. utilitarian responses( categories of scenarios with 10 scenarios in each category). Because the psychological literature on deontological vs. utilitarian moral judgment has mainly used "high-conflict" dilemmas (i.e. dilemmas in which participants do not reach a consensus on the "good" answer to give), the current study aims to determinate which of our 60 scenarios can be considered "high-conflict". As participants give their judgment on a 7-point scales (from 1 to 7), we chose the following criterion: a low-conflict scenario is a scenario for which the average answer is below one point from an extremity of the scale (that is: interior to 2 or superior to 6). Additionally, we will investigate (i) the consistency of participants' answers within each category, (ii) to which extent participants' rate of utilitarian judgment in one category can predict their rates of utilitarian judgment in other categories, and (iii), within each category, to which extent different individual traits can predict participants' rate of utilitarian judgment.

description: Dust-Obscured galaxies (DOGs) are bright 24 um-selected sources with extreme obscuration at optical wavelengths. They are typically characterized by a rising power-law continuum of hot dust (T_D ~ 200-1000K) in the near-IR indicating that their mid-IR luminosity is dominated by an an active galactic nucleus (AGN). DOGs with a fainter 24 um flux display a stellar bump in the near-IR and their mid-IR luminosity appears to be mainly powered by dusty star formation. Alternatively, it may be that the mid-IR emission arising from AGN activity is dominant but the torus is sufficiently opaque to make the near-IR emission from the AGN negligible with respect to the emission from the host component. In an effort to characterize the astrophysical nature of the processes responsible for the IR emission in DOGs, this paper exploits Herschel data (PACS + SPIRE) on a sample of 95 DOGs within the COSMOS field. We derive a wealth of far-IR properties (e.g., total IR luminosities; mid-to-far IR colors; dust temperatures and masses) based on SED fitting. Of particular interest are the 24 um-bright DOGs (F_24um > 1mJy). They present bluer far-IR/mid-IR colors than the rest of the sample, unveiling the potential presence of an AGN. The AGN contribution to the total 8-1000 um flux increases as a function of the rest-frame 8 um-luminosity irrespective of the redshift. This confirms that faint DOGs (L_8 um< 10^12 L_sun) are dominated by star-formation while brighter DOGs show a larger contribution from an AGN.

description: Graphene reinforced polymer matrix composites (G-PMCs) are being explored as inexpensive, strong, and lightweight alternatives to conventional materials in construction, transportation, and engineering applications. This work aims to investigate the extent and effect of oriented graphite delamination products (GDP) within a 35-weight percent GDP / polyamide 6,6 composite. The composite was extruded via a high-shear sheet die. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the GDP were oriented in the machine direction even far from the surface. The SEM images also revealed evidence of possible primary bonding between the graphite and polymer matrix, which may have contributed to this alignment by “dragging” sheets with the flow of polymer. Flexural and tensile tests found that the composite showed mechanical anisotropy, possibly due to aligned polymer chains.

Examining the Impact of School Suspension on High School Students: Highlighting Student Perspectives and the Significance of Student Voice in the Literature on High School Suspension and Dropout Rates
Creators: name: Goley, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The existing literature on the topic of high school suspension reveals that heightened suspension rates lead to heightened dropout rates. An extensive body of literature exists with statistical information to back up this finding; however, very little literature provides student voice on the topic. Students currently enrolled in an alternative school in a small city in central North Carolina were surveyed and interviewed about their experience with suspension. The results show that these students do not find suspension to be an effective means of punishment as it caused them academic setbacks and heightened their negativity towards school. Through the responses of these students some possible alternatives to suspension were revealed. This information should be shared with high school educators and administrators to encourage development of policies that have more potential to result in high school graduation for students at risk of failure.

description: O Plano de Desenvolvimento da Unidade (P.D.U.) é o principal instrumento de descentralização do planejamento universitário. Planejar uma instituição complexa não deve ser tarefa para um pequeno grupo de pessoas fechadas numa sala. A existência de PDUs permite que as decisões que interferem no futuro da Universidade sejam tomadas com ampla participação de seus professores, estudantes e técnicos-administrativos. Isso significa que as pessoas podem e devem expressar no PDU o que desejam para o futuro próximo, estabelecendo metas de curto prazo, e indicando o que cada um e cada uma precisa fazer para que essas metas sejam alcançadas. Por meio do PDU, os problemas são identificados por quem mais é afetado por eles, estabelecendo prioridades, escolhendo indicadores e meios de avaliação. Isso deve fazer surgir na UFPel uma nova cultura de planejamento, descentralizada e socialmente referenciada. A elaboração do PDU é uma importante oportunidade de reflexão sobre a relação da Unidade com o restante da Universidade e com toda a Sociedade. Ele permite apresentar, avaliar e debater a situação atual, revendo e propondo inserções e compromissos sociais para os próximos dois anos, ou quatro semestres letivos.
Gentrification and Education at a Crossroads: The Correlation between Neighborhood Change and Student Achievement
Creators: name: Harris, Tasia S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: This thesis explores the relationship between gentrification and student achievement in
New York State. Gentrification, established by Ruth Glass (1964) as a class issue contextualized
by urban geographies, has historically been investigated from the perspective of the gentrifier.
Much of the early gentrification research has been focused on defining the gentrifier and the factors
that cause gentrification to come about. More recently, researchers have begun to turn their
attention to the impact on the existing populations where gentrification takes place. However, these
efforts are primarily concerned with the impact gentrification has on the accessibility of affordable
housing or how it affects the business landscape. The literature on its relationship with education
is very scarce.
This thesis involves a quantitative analysis of the relationship between gentrification (as
measured by median income, educational attainment, and racial composition) and student
achievement (as measured by mean test scores on third grade statewide standardized tests and third
grade proficiency rates on statewide standardized tests) in New York from 2006-2012. After a
series of bivariate regressions and two multivariate regressions, I find that there is no statistically
significant impact of measures of gentrification on math scores and proficiency; the impact of
gentrification on English Language Arts scores and proficiency, while statistically significant has
no practical influence’ and; lastly, over time student achievement is decreasing in New York.
Although the findings regarding gentrification are insightful they are limited by both time and
space. I suggest that future quantitative research be conducted for longer periods of time with more
aspects of the design aimed at isolating the “stayers,” those who lived in areas prior to the onset
gentrification. Lastly, I urge policymakers in New York to act to reverse the trend of decreasing
student achievement.

description: Aiming at solving large-scale learning problems, this paper studies distributed optimization methods based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). By formulating the learning problem as a consensus problem, the ADMM can be used to solve the consensus problem in a fully parallel fashion over a computer network with a star topology. However, traditional synchronized computation does not scale well with the problem size, as the speed of the algorithm is limited by the slowest workers. This is particularly true in a heterogeneous network where the computing nodes experience different computation and communication delays. In this paper, we propose an asynchronous distributed ADMM (AD-AMM) which can effectively improve the time efficiency of distributed optimization. Our main interest lies in analyzing the convergence conditions of the AD-ADMM, under the popular partially asynchronous model, which is defined based on a maximum tolerable delay of the network. Specifically, by considering general and possibly non-convex cost functions, we show that the AD-ADMM is guaranteed to converge to the set of Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) points as long as the algorithm parameters are chosen appropriately according to the network delay. We further illustrate that the asynchrony of the ADMM has to be handled with care, as slightly modifying the implementation of the AD-ADMM can jeopardize the algorithm convergence, even under a standard convex setting.

Barbecue and The American South in the 21st Century:  Love, Anger & Reconciliation
Creators: name: Sweitzer-Lamme, Madeline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Barbecue has historically been of the most important foods in the American South.  Its history includes the racial trauma and erasure that is intrinsic to the history of the region.  This thesis uses personal narrative, interviews with pitmasters in North Carolina, New York City and Berlin, Germany to explore the connection between the evolution of barbecue and the South. It pushes back against the limited definitions and vocabularies southern for barbecue. This work argues for a new vision of barbecue that demands increased knowledge and nuance moving forward, with the hope that a more inclusive definition of barbecue will lead to a more inclusive definition of who a southerner is in twenty-first century America.

description: Searches for unknown physics and decisions between competing astrophysical models to explain data both rely on statistical hypothesis testing. The usual approach in searches for new physical phenomena is based on the statistical Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) and its asymptotic properties. In the common situation, when neither of the two models under comparison is a special case of the other i.e., when the hypotheses are non-nested, this test is not applicable. In astrophysics, this problem occurs when two models that reside in different parameter spaces are to be compared. An important example is the recently reported excess emission in astrophysical $γ$-rays and the question whether its origin is known astrophysics or dark matter. We develop and study a new, simple, generally applicable, frequentist method and validate its statistical properties using a suite of simulations studies. We exemplify it on realistic simulated data of the Fermi-LAT $γ$-ray satellite, where non-nested hypotheses testing appears in the search for particle dark matter.

The Problem of Erasure: Indigenous Organizing Beyond the Zapatistas
Creators: name: Jackson-Jordan, Olivia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: I explore the concept of erasure in social movements by using the various groups and histories of Mexican indigenous organizing to critique the gaps in social movement theory that do not recognize the links between social movements that target similar issues. I look at how indigenous movements in Mexico, as well as other prominent movements in North America, have been simplified and in turn historically mislabeled. Ultimately, I argue that our academic understanding of indigenous liberation in Mexico is limited by the omission of hundreds of years of resistance by indigenous people previous to the rise of the Zapatistas. I argue for an academic understanding that portrays one ongoing indigenous movement that encompasses the Zapatistas as well as the many other groups that have worked previous to and alongside of them.

description: We report an electronic magnetization measurement of a quantum point contact (QPC) based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. We find that NMR signals can be detected by measuring the QPC conductance under in-plane magnetic fields. This makes it possible to measure, from Knight shifts of the NMR spectra, the electronic magnetization of a QPC containing only a few electron spins. The magnetization changes smoothly with the QPC potential barrier height and peaks at the conductance plateau of 0.5 $\times$ $2e^2/h$. The observed features are well captured by a model calculation assuming a smooth potential barrier, supporting a no bound state origin of the 0.7 structure.

season and using hypothesis tests for population proportions, this thesis confirms a
simple intuitive notion: higher quality shots, as defined by Coach Anson Dorrance,
are more likely to find their way to the back of the net than lower quality shots. In
addition, high quality shots were more likely to be taken inside of the penalty box,
and they were more likely to occur after receiving a pass from the center of the field
and after sequences of five or more consecutive passes.

description: This paper deals with a single-server queue with modulated arrivals, service requirements and service capacity. In our first result, we derive the mean of the total workload assuming generally distributed service requirements and any service discipline which does not depend on the modulating environment. We then show that the workload is exponentially distributed under heavy-traffic scaling. In our second result, we focus on the discriminatory processor sharing (DPS) discipline. Assuming exponential, class-dependent service requirements, we show that the joint distribution of the queue lengths of different customer classes under DPS undergoes a state-space collapse when subject to heavy-traffic scaling. That is, the limiting distribution of the queue length vector is shown to be exponential, times a deterministic vector. The distribution of the scaled workload, as derived for general service disciplines, is a key quantity in the proof of the state-space collapse.

Strain couples to the low-energy electrons as a time-reversal invariant gauge field, leading to the formation of pseudo-Landau levels (PLL). Here we study periodic pseudo-magnetic fields originating from strain superlattices. We study the low-energy Dirac PLL spectrum induced by the strain superlattice and analyze the effect of various polarized states. Through self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculations we establish that, due to the strain superlattice and PLL electronic structure, a valley-ordered state spontaneously breaking time-reversal and realizing a quantum Hall phase is favored, while others are suppressed.

description: We describe frequency stabilization of a laser at 707.202 nm wavelength using FM spectroscopy in a hollow cathode lamp. The laser is stabilized to the $^{88}$Sr metastable $^3\mathrm{P}_2$ to $^3\mathrm{S}_1$ optical transition. The stabilized laser is utilized for laser-cooling and trapping of strontium atoms. We also briefly describe the performance of a polarization spectroscopy lock of our blue MOT laser at 461 nm derived simultaneously from the same hollow cathode lamp.

description: Background: Several studies have investigated the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and falling; however, the results have been inconclusive. We are not aware of another study that has investigated the relationship between recent BMI change and the risk of falling in the elderly.Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association of BMI and BMI change with the risk of falling in independent living persons over the age of 65.Methods: Data are from a cohort of 396 independent living residents of Carol Woods Retirement Community over the age of 65. Baseline measurements were taken in 2014 and 2015. The cohort was followed from January 1st, 2016 through December 31st, 2016 and examined for occurrence of falls. The incidence rate of new falls in the population was determined and the associations between falls and BMI, BMI change, and other covariates were examined utilizing Cox proportional hazards models.Results: There were 54 reported falls in 2016 (13.6%). The incidence rate of falls was 1.24 falls per hundred people per month. There was no statistically significant association between baseline BMI and the risk of falling. A one unit increase in BMI in the previous year was shown to decrease the hazard of experiencing a fall by 51.4% (=0.4860.349,0.675). Conclusions: A recent decrease in BMI is significantly associated with a higher risk of falling in independent living residents of Carol Woods Retirement Community.

description: We explore the phenomenological consequences of general late-time modifications of gravity in the quasi-static approximation, in the case where cold dark matter is non-minimally coupled to the gravitational sector. Assuming spectroscopic and photometric surveys with configuration parameters similar to those of the Euclid mission, we derive constraints on our effective description from three observables: the galaxy power spectrum in redshift space, tomographic weak-lensing shear power spectrum and the correlation spectrum between the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect and the galaxy distribution. In particular, with $Λ$CDM as fiducial model and a specific choice for the time dependence of our effective functions, we perform a Fisher matrix analysis and find that the unmarginalized $68\%$ CL errors on the parameters describing the modifications of gravity are of order $σ\sim10^{-2}$--$10^{-3}$. We also consider two other fiducial models. A nonminimal coupling of CDM enhances the effects of modified gravity and reduces the above statistical errors accordingly. In all cases, we find that the parameters are highly degenerate, which prevents the inversion of the Fisher matrices. Some of these degeneracies can be broken by combining all three observational probes.

Click Chemistry Labeling of RNA: A New Tool for Microbial Biology
Creators: name: Barreto, Mauricio A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The ocean floor is home to one of the largest, most complex, and least explored ecosystems on the planet. As of yet, however, there is no clear method that is effective in describing how these microbial communities in areas of the ocean floor are arranged, or how they interact with their environment. In addition there is no clear method to capture newly synthesized RNA in order identify active populations. We wish to discover whether the click-chemistry technique, largely unused by environmental microbiologists, can be modified to study these types of microorganisms. This method involves the uptake of the RNA analog 5-ethynyl uridine (EU) into incubated cells, after which RNA is tagged with a fluorescent dye for subsequent microscopic identification, or with a capture tag to be isolated for further analysis. Our results suggest that EU is successfully incorporated in pure culture in E. coli and B. subtilis, and we are working to expand our efforts to environmental samples.

description: We demonstrate universal quantum control over chains of ions in a surface-electrode ion trap, including all the fundamental operations necessary to perform algorithms in a one-dimensional, nearest-neighbor quantum computing architecture. We realize both single-qubit operations and nearest-neighbor entangling gates with Raman laser beams, and we interleave the two gate types. We report average single-qubit gate fidelities as high as 0.970(1) for two-, three-, and four-ion chains, characterized with randomized benchmarking. We generate Bell states between the nearest-neighbor pairs of a three-ion chain, with fidelity up to 0.84(2). We combine one- and two-qubit gates to perform quantum process tomography of a CNOT gate in a two-ion chain, and we report an overall fidelity of 0.76(3).

description: Die bisherigen Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich nicht-visueller Wirkungen des Lichts auf den Menschen lassen kein klares Kausalitätsmuster erkennen. Einer der Gründe dafür könnte in der oft unzureichenden Beschreibung der Lichtsituation liegen. Meist wird zur Beschreibung der Intensität des Stimulus die vertikale Beleuchtungsstärke am Auge genutzt. Intrinsisch-photosensitive retinale Ganglienzellen spielen bei nicht-visuellen Effekten eine zentrale Rolle. Forschungsergebnisse ergaben Hinweise, dass deren Sensitivität von der Lage auf der Netzhaut abhängen kann, weshalb die Lichteinfallsrichtung zur Beschreibung des Stimulus betrachtet werden sollte. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt das Vorgehen zur Durchführung eines Probandenversuchs der diese Annahmen zur Richtungsabhängigkeit auf Tagsituationen übertragen und überprüfen soll.
description: Research findings in the field of non-image-forming (NIF) effects are not always conclusive. A reason might be the often-insufficient characterization of the applied lighting scenes. Mostly the spatially integrally measured vertical illuminance at the eye is used to describe the intensity of the stimulus. Intrinsically-photosensitive retinal ganglion cells are crucial for NIF effects. Research found hints that their sensitivity is dependent on the location in the retina. Summarizing these results, regions of higher effectiveness could be identified. Consequently, the light incidence should be considered to quantify the stimulus. This paper outlines the methodology to conduct a study on the impact of the light incidence on NIF effects (here acute alertness) in a daytime lab condition.

description: Recently a variational integrator for ideal magnetohydrodynamics in Lagrangian labeling has been developed. Its built-in frozen-in equation makes it optimal for studying current sheet formation. We use this scheme to study the Hahm-Kulsrud-Taylor problem, which considers the response of a 2D plasma magnetized by a sheared field under sinusoidal boundary forcing. We obtain an equilibrium solution that preserves the magnetic topology of the initial field exactly, with a fluid mapping that is non-differentiable. Unlike previous studies that examine the current density output, we identify a singular current sheet from the fluid mapping. These results are benchmarked with a constrained Grad-Shafranov solver. The same signature of current singularity can be found in other cases with more complex magnetic topologies.

Mind at war: The social and cultural dimensions of mental illness in (post) conflict Lebanon
Creators: name: Sharara, Sima Lynn

description: Entrapped within the tight geographic boundaries of Lebanon, the rippling effects of conflict
are felt nationally and indiscriminately, on a social, economic, infrastructural, and political level.
However, a greatly overlooked collateral damage of prolonged conflict is its impact on health,
particularly mental health. In this thesis, I will examine the social and cultural dimension of
mental illness in Lebanon, with a particular focus on the impact of war and conflict. My research
will assess understandings of mental illness, perceptions of societal stigma, and beliefs about
vulnerability to illness, adaptive coping mechanisms, and obstacles to seeking care.

description: The upper critical field ($H_{c2}$) in superconducting BaFe$_{2-x}$Ni$_{x}$As$_2$ single crystals has been determined by magnetotransport measurements down to 0.6 K over the whole superconducting dome with $0.065 \leqslant x \leqslant 0.22$, both for the inter-plane ($H \parallel c$, $H_{c2}^{c}$) and in-plane ($H \parallel ab$, $H_{c2}^{ab}$) field directions in static magnetic fields up to 16 T and pulsed magnetic fields up to 60 T. The temperature dependence of $H_{c2}^{ab}$ follows the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg (WHH) model incorporating orbital and spin paramagnetic effects, while $H_{c2}^{c}(T)$ can only be described by the effective two-band model with unbalanced diffusivity. The anisotropy of the upper critical fields, $γ(T)=H_{c2}^{ab}/H_{c2}^{c}$ monotonically increases with increasing temperature for all dopings, and its zero-temperature limit, $γ(0)$, has an asymmetric doping dependence with a significant enhancement in the overdoped regime, where the optimally doped compound has the most isotropic superconductivity. Our results suggest that the anisotropy in the superconductivity of iron pnictides is determined by the topology of the Fermi surfaces together with the doping-induced impurity scattering.

description: Ficus umbonigera Warb., Symb. Antill. (Urban). 3(3): 480. 1903.
 Lectotype (designated here): — TRINIDAD. Between Latrea and Irais, 6 June 1868, Hart 2808 (US!).
 Nomenclatural notes:— The protologue does not state the herbarium where the type of F. umbonigera was deposited. Berg & Villavicencio (2004) indicated Hart 2808 (B) as the holotype; however, this cannot be considered a lectotypification because it occurred after 2001 and the sentence “designated here” or similar phrase was not used (Turland et al. 2018, Art. 7.11). We were unable to locate the collection at Berlin (B). Here, we designate the collection of Hart 2808 (US) as the lectotype because it contains a branch, leaves, stipules, and preserved syconia.
 Taxonomical notes:— The currently accepted name for this taxon is Ficus americana subsp. guianensis.

The Transmission of Weight Loss Efforts to Non-Treatment Seeking Romantic Partners
Creators: name: Hartley, Elise
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the interpersonal and individual factors that
aid in the sharing of healthy behaviors between romantic partners, where one partner is
participating in an intensive weight loss program. More specifically, the investigation sought to
determine whether (a) inclusion of the other into the self and provided social support mediated
the association between relationship satisfaction and perceived change in health behavior in the
non-treatment seeking partner (NTSP), and (b) if higher body mass index (BMI) and fear of
gaining weight predicted behavior change in the NTSP. Method: NTSPs (n = 18) who had a
partner participating in the Duke Diet and Fitness Center (DFC) intervention, a residential weight
loss program where patients stay an average of two weeks, were surveyed. Results: Analyses
revealed that inclusion of the other into the self and provided social support were not significant
mediators in the association between relationship satisfaction and perceived health change
behavior, nor were BMI and fear of gaining weight significant predictors of perceived change in
eating behavior or calorie expenditure. However, NTSPs did significantly improve their eating
behavior during their partner’s stay at the DFC. Conclusions: Given the observed high levels of
relationship satisfaction, social support, and drive to share partner perspectives (i.e., inclusion of
the other into the self), further research should explore the benefit these positive interpersonal
factors have on partners in treatment. The communication of weight loss strategies and the
reminder that a significant other is in treatment might encourage partners at home to eat more
healthily, although it appears their physical activity is not as readily changed. These findings
demonstrate that lifestyle interventions can have a greater reach than initially expected,
maximizing the impact of treatment through spreading healthier habits without the additional
costs.
