Sowing the seeds of a vibrant community
Creators: name: Wooley, Megan Katherine

description: Throughout many cities and states across the United States, an increasing number of community gardens are being developed, planted, and enjoyed. Community gardens are defined as "any piece of land that is gardened by a group of people" (Baldwin, et al, 2009, p. 2). While community gardens vary by type, size, and organization, the common link between all community gardens is that they are developed and maintained by community members (Kirby, et al, 2008, p. 5). Community gardens are distinguished from private gardens in that community gardens are "in some sense a public garden in terms of ownership, access, and degree of democratic control" (Ferris, et al, 2001, p. 560). Community gardens can be created in any neighborhood, be it urban or rural, and can serve a variety of participants, be they schoolchildren or the elderly. Many varieties and types of gardens exist. Each garden is structured in a different way or offers different services depending upon the needs of the local community (Ferris, et al, 2001, p. 560). For example, they can be located in urban, suburban, or rural settings on municipal land, land trusts, or private land (Kirby, et al, 2008, p. 5). They can be established at schools, parks, places of worship, public housing, or vacant lots (Baldwin, et al, 2009, p. 2). Some gardens are large, encompassing many acres, while other are located in pocket parks or on small half-acre lots. Some community gardens are official and sanctioned by the municipalities where they are located while others are "guerilla acts of cultivation" (Kirby, et al, 2008, p. 5). At some community gardens, hundreds of volunteers participate while at others just a few gardeners work collectively or individually. The flexibility of community gardens make them ideal for wide use. Community gardens have no set criteria or structure; they can be suited to the needs of their participants and neighborhoods. This adaptability has encouraged and allowed the implementation of community garden programs throughout the United States. In order to answer these questions, four community gardens which are each located in low-income neighborhoods in the United States were interviewed about their programs and outreach activities. Also, an in-depth look into the current literature discussing community gardens and their benefits was undertaken. Some difficulties exist with creating community gardens, and these problems are addressed to provide a planners and neighborhoods with a better understanding of the process of implementing community garden programs. The lessons learned from this literature review and the case studies were synthesized into policy suggestions for cities and communities. Encouraging the development of individuals and communities is an important goal for many urban planners, and community gardens may provide a unique tool for community development.

description: Distillation (Hinton et al., 2015) and privileged information (Vapnik & Izmailov, 2015) are two techniques that enable machines to learn from other machines. This paper unifies these two techniques into generalized distillation, a framework to learn from multiple machines and data representations. We provide theoretical and causal insight about the inner workings of generalized distillation, extend it to unsupervised, semisupervised and multitask learning scenarios, and illustrate its efficacy on a variety of numerical simulations on both synthetic and real-world data.

subject: speech acoustics

description: The prosody of a second language (L2) is notoriously difficult to acquire. It requires the mastery of a range of nested multimodal systems, including articulatory but also gestural signals, as hand gestures are produced in close synchrony with spoken prosody. It remains unclear how easily the articulatory and gestural systems acquire new prosodic patterns in the L2 and how the two systems interact, especially when L1 patterns interfere. This interdisciplinary pre-registered study investigates how Dutch learners of Spanish produce multimodal lexical stress in Spanish-Dutch cognates (e.g., Spanish profeSOR vs. Dutch proFESsor). Acoustic analyses assess whether gesturing helps L2 speakers to place stress on the correct syllable; and whether gesturing boosts the acoustic correlates of stress through biomechanic coupling. Moreover, motion-tracking and time-series analyses test whether gesture-prosody synchrony is enhanced for stress-matching vs. stress-mismatching cognate pairs, perhaps revealing that gestural timing is biased in the L1 (or L2) direction (e.g., Spanish profeSOR with the gesture biased towards Dutch stressed syllable -fes). Thus, we will uncover how speakers deal with manual, articulatory, and cognitive constraints that need to be brought in harmony for efficient speech production, bearing implications for theories on gesture-speech interaction and multimodal L2 acquisition.
Do local comprehensive plans support the Kichwa of the Ecuadorian Amazon in reaching their collective rights?
Creators: name: Grefa Andi, Fredy Rafael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: For this work, I will refer only to the limitations of existing development plans and try to identify some indicators of how those plans support or threaten the constitutional collective rights of indigenous nationalities and peoples. In order to find these indicators, I will analyze the content and quality of comprehensive (development) plans of 9 municipalities in the provinces of Napo and Orellana (which have a high population of indigenous groups, such as the Kichwa of the Ecuadorian Amazon) towards the advancement of a plurinational and intercultural Ecuadorian state. In this thesis, I will argue that planning only to meet the requirements of the
dominant society, or planning for a homogeneous society, is not adequate for the construction of a plurinational and intercultural state that complies with the Ecuadorian Constitutional mandate.
It is critical to evaluate the proposals and rights claimed by indigenous peoples from the Ecuadorian Amazon region and worldwide. Planners working in indigenous territories must also begin to consider these fundamental differences, because planning could interfere with the advancement of political sovereignty and social development (Sandercok, 2003). Following this, I will argue that the goal is not to create a planning process specifically for indigenous groups, because these plans could exclude others. Instead, we should create a new, coordinated planning process that includes cross-cultural planning, in order to work towards a harmonic plurinational and pluricultural state.
This thesis is organized as follows. Section II provides background information about the Ecuadorian Amazon context and the Kichwa of the Amazon nationality. Section III describes the study’s methodology and Section IV presents the results of the study. Section V provides a general discussion based on the findings and provides general recommendations. Section VI concludes.

description: Self-testing refers to the possibility of characterizing uniquely (up to local isometries) the state and measurements contained in quantum devices, based only on the observed input-output statistics. Already in the basic case of the two-qubit singlet, self-testing is not unique: the two known criteria (the maximal violation of the CHSH inequality and the Mayers-Yao correlations) are not equivalent. It is unknown how many criteria there are. In this paper, we find the whole set of criteria for the ideal self-testing of singlet with two measurements and two outcomes on each side: it coincides with all the extremal points of the quantum set that can be obtained by measuring the singlet.

description: In order to interpret the auditory environment and guide behavior, the auditory system must manage stimulus uncertainty. Human listeners are generally aware of this uncertainty, but in some cases, for example with the "Laurel/Yanny" sound (Gwilliams & Wallisch, 2020; Pressnitzer et al., 2018), an ambiguous stimulus can elicit confident responses, even if different listeners come to different conclusions. The origins of the inter-individual differences in the perception of ambiguous sounds remain mysterious, but they may be related to long-term auditory experience, including the experience of hearing one's own voice. Each listener’s own vocal characteristics may produce biases in speech perception such that interpretations more similar to the listener's voice are preferred. If this is true, variations in human vocal characteristics may partially explain inter-individual differences in ambiguous speech perception. We thus hypothesize that some of the individual variability in perception on a Laurel/Yanny task will be explained by their own vocal parameters estimated in recorded speech.

Lawrence Youth Council: A Model for Youth Participation in Creating Healthy Cities
Creators: name: Lier, Maryka Denise
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Young people are essential to the social, physical and economic well-being of their
communities. Not simply because—as the saying goes—they are the future, but also
because they are current assets to the communities in which they live. In Lawrence, MA,
youth are already finding ways to get involved in community projects: tending urban
gardens; organizing fashion shows to raise money for local nonprofits; creating alternative
media sources to promote community pride; running poetry, dance and music events and
organizing skateboard competitions. The City of Lawrence developed the Lawrence Youth
Council (LYC) to engage that enthusiasm and to create a space in the local government
where youth can help shape the projects, policies and initiatives that impact them. The
LYC recognizes the power youth have as active citizens in a city fighting the effects of
poverty and striving towards equitable revitalization.
Lawrence faces significant challenges to the health of the city. These health challenges are
not simply caused by individual behaviors or genetic predispositions. Health is a result of
the social and economic conditions in which people live. Governmental agencies, social
support organizations, education institutions, and healthcare organizations are all working
to improve daily life and opportunity for Lawrence’s young residents. The community and
economic revitalization of Lawrence are critical to the health of its residents, especially the
youth, who need safe places to work, live and play. If we are to succeed in developing
healthy, sustainable economic and social infrastructures, it is necessary that youth
leadership and participation be included in the efforts to identify and address those issues.
Participation of youth in community development benefits the young people involved, by
strengthening skills and increasing knowledge that can improve their future outcomes. It
also develops in youth a sense of civic responsibility and connection that feeds back into
the community. When adult leaders create processes to share power and decision-making,
it gives youth opportunities for individual and group leadership that allows them to see
themselves and to be seen by others as active citizens. Youth can identify local issues,
develop plans, and organize activities and meetings to address those issues. They can
develop self-confidence and a commitment to civic engagement.!1 Youth can also inspire
and teach the adults involved, through sharing their unique skills and point of view on local
issues, improving adults’ ability to partner with youth. Lastly, the general community also
benefits by effectively addressing youth issues and increasing the capacity to address
planning and public health issues that impact everyone. This is the aim of the Lawrence
Youth Council.

description: It is well known that very large magnetic fields are generated when the Quark-Gluon Plasma is formed during peripheral heavy-ion collisions. Lattice, holographic, and other studies strongly suggest that these fields may, for observationally relevant field values, induce "inverse magnetic catalysis", signalled by a lowering of the critical temperature for the chiral/deconfinement transition. The theoretical basis of this effect has recently attracted much attention; yet so far these investigations have not included another, equally dramatic consequence of the peripheral collision geometry: the QGP acquires a large angular momentum vector, parallel to the magnetic field. Here we use holographic techniques to argue that the angular momentum can also, independently, have an effect on transition temperatures, and we obtain a rough estimate of the relative effects of the presence of both a magnetic field and an angular momentum density. We find that the shearing angular momentum reinforces the effect of the magnetic field at low values of the baryonic chemical potential, but that it can actually decrease that effect at high chemical potentials.

description: The purpose of this research is to explore and understand how the arts can be used to build and strengthen community and serve as a strategy for resilience during large-scale crises. From March to August of 2020, an international, grass-roots collaboration of artists, writers, and creators came together to document their reflections on the global coronavirus pandemic. Together, they developed four compilations of “Collective Confinement,” navigating their individual isolation and experiences and sharing their creations with the respective community. The current research will explore through qualitative interviews how this process of collaboration and artistic expression influenced both 1) individual forms of resilience and coping and 2) broader collective empathy and perspective-taking.

description: We present an on-the-fly geometrical approach for shock detection and Mach number calculation in simulations employing smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). We utilize pressure gradients to select shock candidates and define up- and downstream positions. We obtain hydrodynamical states in the up- and downstream regimes with a series of normal and inverted kernel weightings parallel and perpendicular to the shock normals. Our on-the-fly geometrical Mach detector incorporates well within the SPH formalism and has low computational cost. We implement our Mach detector into the simulation code GADGET and alongside many SPH improvements. We test our shock finder in a sequence of shock-tube tests with successively increasing Mach numbers exceeding by far the typical values inside galaxy clusters. For all shocks, we resolve the shocks well and the correct Mach numbers are assigned. An application to a strong magnetized shock-tube gives stable results in full magnetohydrodynamic set-ups. We simulate a merger of two idealized galaxy clusters and study the shock front. Shock structures within the merging clusters as well as the cluster shock are well-captured by our algorithm and assigned correct Mach numbers.

description: A new exact vacuum solution in five dimensions, which describes a magnetized cylindrical wormhole in $3+1$ dimensions is presented. The magnetic field lines are stretched along the wormhole throat and are concentrated near to it. We study the motion of neutral and charged test particles under the influence of the magnetized wormhole. The effective potential for a neutral test particle around and across the magnetized wormhole has a repulsive character. The gravitational lensing for the magnetized wormhole for various lens parameters are calculated and compared. The total magnetic flux on either side of the wormhole is obtained. We present analytic expressions which show regions in which the null energy condition is violated.

description: The leading cause of death in Norway is cancer, and among cancer patients, around 70 % prefer to die at home. However, there is a significant gap between cancer patients’ preferences and actual place of death in Norway, with major regional differences. More knowledge is needed to identify circumstances that would lead to the home as the actual place of death and not merely the preferred location . To develop deeper insights into the issue of home death, we believe closer focus should be on what actually takes place between spouses and within families when it comes to discussions and decisions on home death. We understand that the interplay between the resources that family carers—particularly spouses—have available to them, the relationship between seriously ill cancer patients and their partners, and the practical tasks and caregiving challenges that lie ahead when discussing and deciding on home death are complex. This study will unpack important parts of this complexity, paying particular attention to how family biography and the relationship between the person dying of cancer and his/her spouse impacts on how dying at home becomes an issue and is discussed, reflected upon, decided and handled.

description: Insights into complex phenomena in quantum matter can be gained from simulation experiments with ultracold atoms, especially in cases where theoretical characterization is challenging. However these experiments are mostly limited to short-range collisional interactions. Recently observed perturbative effects of long-range interactions were too weak to reach novel quantum phases. Here we experimentally realize a bosonic lattice model with competing short- and infinite-range interactions, and observe the appearance of four distinct phases - a superfluid, a supersolid, a Mott insulator and a charge density wave. Our system is based on an atomic quantum gas trapped in an optical lattice inside a high finesse optical cavity. The strength of the short-ranged on-site interactions is controlled by means of the optical lattice depth. The infinite-range interaction potential is mediated by a vacuum mode of the cavity and is independently controlled by tuning the cavity resonance. When probing the phase transition between the Mott insulator and the charge density wave in real-time, we discovered a behaviour characteristic of a first order phase transition. Our measurements have accessed a regime for quantum simulation of many-body systems, where the physics is determined by the intricate competition between two different types of interactions and the zero point motion of the particles.

Traffic speed reduction and pedestrian safety on N. Duke and N. Gregson streets
Creators: name: Chapman, Charlotte
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: When transportation corridors are designated to allow high-speed motor vehicle travel through dense urban areas they contribute negatively to the surrounding neighborhood. In recent years many approaches have been formulated to try and reduce speeding in urban residential neighborhoods, including traffic calming4, road diets5, and complete streets6. The negative consequences of high travel speeds include increased automobile crashes, increased bike and pedestrian crashes, increased traffic noise, and decreased physical activity by neighborhood residents (Bochner, 2006; Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, 2007; Rodriguez, 2009; TranSafety, 1997). Many of these problems could be alleviated through more context appropriate design, and reducing the priority given to automobile travel while increasing the priority of alternative modes (especially non-motorized modes). However, transportation efficiency must be considered along with neighborhood quality of life. For example, if the perceived efficiency of a street changes dramatically drivers may re-route their high-speed travel to other neighborhood roads. Yet, despite the potential to only menially increase automobile travel time, while greatly increasing walkability, safety, property values and quality of life7, there is often great resistance to take measures to decrease speeds on urban streets (Dees, 2007a). This master's project seeks to explore the opportunities for the transformation of high-speed neighborhood streets into enjoyable community assets that facilitate multi-modal travel. The topic will be explored specifically in regard to North Duke and North Gregson Streets in Durham, North Carolina, that run through one of the cities oldest urban neighborhoods.

description: We investigate the production of heavy, neutral Higgs boson resonances and their decays to top-quark top-antiquark ($t\bar{t}$) pairs at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at next-to-leading order (NLO) in the strong coupling of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The NLO corrections to heavy Higgs boson production and the Higgs-QCD interference are calculated in the large $m_t$ limit with an effective K-factor rescaling. The nonresonant $t\bar{t}$ background is taken into account at NLO QCD including weak-interaction corrections. In order to consistently determine the total decay widths of the heavy Higgs bosons, we consider for definiteness the type-II two-Higgs-doublet extension of the standard model and choose three parameter scenarios that entail two heavy neutral Higgs bosons with masses above the $t\bar{t}$ threshold and unsuppressed Yukawa couplings to top quarks. For these three scenarios we compute, for the LHC operating at 13 TeV, the $t\bar{t}$ cross section and the distributions of the $t\bar{t}$ invariant mass, of the transverse top-quark momentum and rapidity, and of the cosine of the Collins-Soper angle with and without the two heavy Higgs resonances. For selected $M_{t\bar{t}}$ bins we estimate the significances for detecting a heavy Higgs signal in the $t\bar{t}$ dileptonic and lepton plus jets decay channels.

description: Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) are a fast emerging tool in the United States that identify health impacts of large projects or policies. They provide a mechanism to demonstrate how environmental determinants affect the health of a population and are unique because they provide an opportunity to assess and evaluate the health impacts of projects and programs that are not specifically related to health care. As the popularity of HIAs has risen, funding and training opportunities have also developed in the United States. In December of 2010 a HIA training was conducted in Statesville and Raleigh, North Carolina for grantees of the program Communities Putting Prevention to Work. This paper will examine willingness and capacity of public officials who attended the training to implement HIAs, identify barriers to implementation, and provide recommendations for the use of HIAs in North Carolina. A two day workshop was held for the following eleven municipalities in North Carolina: Ahoskie, Banner Elk, Carrboro, Eden, Gastonia, Lumberton, Midland, Mount Gilead, Sparta, Waxhaw, and Wilmington.3 The purpose of the training was to introduce the concept of HIAs to North Carolina and to demonstrate how HIAs can be used to enhance and further other methods of analysis and assessment that are currently employed. An online survey was distributed to public officials who attended the HIA workshop and had a final response rate of 57.1% (28 of 49). Four public officials were chosen for follow-up interviews which included two planners, a local planner and a regional planner, and two public health officials, one working at the state level and one from a local health department. The results of the survey and subsequent interviews indicated that public health practitioners and planners would be able to implement HIAs with more training, buy in from those with decision making abilities, policy mandates, and more collaborative efforts.

description: Accretion disks around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in active galactic nuclei contain stars, stellar mass black holes, and other stellar remnants, which perturb the disk gas gravitationally. The resulting density perturbations in turn exert torques on the embedded masses causing them to migrate through the disk in a manner analogous to the behavior of planets in protoplanetary disks. We determine the strength and direction of these torques using an empirical analytic description dependent on local disk gradients, applied to two different analytic, steady-state disk models of SMBH accretion disks. We find that there are radii in such disks where the gas torque changes sign, trapping migrating objects. Our analysis shows that major migration traps generally occur where the disk surface density gradient changes sign from positive to negative, around 20--300$R_{\rm g}$, where $R_{\rm g}=2GM/c^{2}$ is the Schwarzschild radius. At these traps, massive objects in the AGN disk can accumulate, collide, scatter, and accrete. Intermediate mass black hole formation is likely in these disk locations, which may lead to preferential gap and cavity creation at these radii. Our model thus has significant implications for SMBH growth as well as gravitational wave source populations.

Growing With Green Space: Creating Neighborhood Parks Through The Development Process

description: Rapidly growing communities often find that their ability to provide open space is constrained by two factors: one is a lack of funding for land acquisition, and two is a lack of land available for purchase in the wake of development. There is a perceived conflict between encouraging the forms of development that are critical to the economic health of a community and providing the types of neighborhood green space that contribute to a community's quality of life. Growing with Green space suggests that communities do not have to choose between growth and green space; instead, they can proactively resolve this perceived conflict through the use of development-driven park creation techniques. Viewing new development as a source of parkland rather than a consumer of parkland turns a challenge into an opportunity. This report examines some of the strengths and weaknesses of development-driven park creation by analyzing three types of land use regulations that can be used to build neighborhood park systems: park impact fees, mandatory parkland dedications, and conservation subdivision ordinances (CDOs). Case studies reveal how each tool can be used to the fit the needs and resources of individual communities. Some shared best practices emerge from this analysis, as well as implementation strategies that are particular to each tool. The findings suggest that development management techniques can play a valuable role in building parks at the neighborhood level if they are used as part of a comprehensive, strategic park and recreation plan that is tailored to the needs and resources of the local community. At the same time it is important to recognize the limitations of these tools and to use them not as the sole tool for park creation, but as part of a broader tool kit that includes voluntary and regulatory measures.
The Historic Albemarle Hotel: A Case Study in Facilitating Downtown Revitalization

description: Public-private real estate development partnerships (PPPs) have been implemented in the United States for many years, taking many forms with connotations both good and bad (Forrer, 2010). Over the past few decades public-private partnerships have become an increasingly popular method for cities and towns to achieve their development or revitalization goals, by leaning on private sector expertise and capital as public sector coffers have continued to shrink (Sagalyn, 2012). Simultaneously, in the wake of the 2008 U.S. Credit Crisis, as lending standards have tightened, private sector firms have become increasingly interested in partnering with public sector agencies to fill the financing gap that often exists in development projects (Sagalyn, 2012). This mutual need for innovative financing solutions has led to increased implementation of PPPs across cities and towns here in North Carolina to facilitate community revitalization.
A public-private partnership can be defined and implemented in many different ways, depending on the needs of a community and the availability, expertise and capacity of both public and private sector participants. A more traditional form of public-private partnership typically involves public ownership of a parcel or building and outsourcing of design, construction, operation, financing or maintenance to the private sector (NCPPP, 2015). In many of these cases the private sector partner incurs project development costs with a portion reimbursed by a city, county or other public agency, representing the component that is required or desired by the public sector. One such example is a project currently underway in Wilmington, North Carolina involving the city’s partnership with a private sector developer to build on a key piece of city-owned property in downtown. From mid-2013 through the spring of 2015 the city worked with the Development Finance Initiative (DFI), a non-profit group based in North Carolina, to complete a pre-development analysis culminating in a request for proposal (RFP) process sourcing and vetting private sector developers (Development Finance Initiative , 2015 ). Developers submitted proposals for a high-rise mixed-use development including residential, retail and public open space wrapping structured parking on the site. Ultimately the selected developer will enter a partnership to purchase air rights from the city, develop on the site and receive a reimbursement for costs to build the structured parking deck. Once complete, the city will operate and maintain a portion of the parking deck for public use (Development Finance Initiative , 2015 ). While this project in Wilmington, NC represents a more traditional public-private partnership, this master’s project will provide a detailed overview of a somewhat non-traditional public-private partnership currently underway in Albemarle, NC.

description: Quantum light-matter interfaces are at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Quantum memories for photons, where non-classical states of photons are mapped onto stationary matter states and preserved for subsequent retrieval, are technical realizations enabled by exquisite control over interactions between light and matter. The ability of quantum memories to synchronize probabilistic events makes them a key component in quantum repeaters and quantum computation based on linear optics. This critical feature has motivated many groups to dedicate theoretical and experimental research to develop quantum memory devices. In recent years, exciting new applications, and more advanced developments of quantum memories, have proliferated. In this review, we outline some of the emerging applications of quantum memories in optical signal processing, quantum computation, and nonlinear optics. We review recent experimental and theoretical developments, and their impacts on more advanced photonic quantum technologies based on quantum memories.
