Beyond the Urban Fabric: Weaving Fiber into America's Rural Communities
Creators: name: Schoewe, Dana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Unfortunately, there is still a lack of research on the impacts of targeted municipal broadband investments. Because municipal fiber investments are expensive and take time to implement, it is important to understand how these investments translate to economic outcomes in the local labor force. Having a strong local labor force is crucial to economic development in small, rural towns to ensure these areas are not left behind in the digital divide. With a better understanding of how fiber investments translate to benefits for local workers, communities can make informed decisions about whether this type of infrastructure investment is worthwhile as a means to prevent the digital divide. In order to analyze whether municipal fiber investments are related to positive economic and labor force outcomes, this paper will focus on 73 municipalities in the US that have implemented municipal fiber optic networks. The analysis will focus on municipalities that invested in fiber networks between 2000-2011, in areas where networks are available to at least 80% of homes, businesses and institutions within their municipal boundaries. Specifically, I will examine select economic indicators that pertain to the labor force, such as median income, unemployment, percentage of people who work in business/professional services and the percentage of people who work from home, to assess whether positive economic outcomes accrue to local workers in towns that have made these municipal investments, relative to the larger geography of their respective counties. Additionally, given that some municipalities with these networks perform better than others in terms of the select indicators, I will attempt to unpack the performance of a few of the best-performing rural towns. This will bring more insight into whether external factors, such as incentivizing policies and institutional supports, are important to leveraging municipal fiber optic investments to build a robust economy and local workforce.

description: We propose to demonstrate nonreciprocal conversion between microwave and optical photons in an electro-optomechanical system where a microwave mode and an optical mode are coupled indirectly via two non-degenerate mechanical modes. The nonreciprocal conversion is obtained in the broken time-reversal symmetry regime, where the conversion of photons from one frequency to the other is enhanced for constructive quantum interference while the conversion in the reversal direction is suppressed due to destructive quantum interference. It is interesting that the nonreciprocal response between the microwave and optical modes in the electro-optomechanical system appears at two different frequencies with opposite directions. The proposal can be used to realize nonreciprocal conversion between photons of any two distinctive modes with different frequencies. Moreover, the electro-optomechanical system can also be used to construct a three-port circulator for three optical modes with distinctively different frequencies by adding an auxiliary optical mode coupled to one of the mechanical modes.

Loop near-rings and unique decompositions of H-spaces

name: Pavešić, Petar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Algebraic Topology (math.AT)

description: For every H-space $X$ the set of homotopy classes $[X,X]$ possesses a natural algebraic structure of a loop near-ring. Albeit one cannot say much about general loop near-rings, it turns out that those that arise from H-spaces are sufficiently close to rings to have a viable Krull--Schmidt type decomposition theory, which is then reflected into decomposition results of H-spaces. In the paper we develop the algebraic theory of local loop near-rings and derive an algebraic characterization of indecomposable and strongly indecomposable H-spaces. As a consequence, we obtain unique decomposition theorems for products of H-spaces. In particular, we are able to treat certain infinite products of H-spaces, thanks to a recent breakthrough in the Krull--Schmidt theory for infinite products. Finally, we show that indecomposable finite $p$-local H-spaces are automatically strongly indecomposable, which leads to an easy alternative proof of classical unique decomposition theorems of Wilkerson and Gray.

Do Neighborhood Dynamics Influence Heat Vulnerability in Chicago? Lessons from the 1995 Chicago Heat Wave
Creators: name: Noria, Estefany
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This paper examines the relationship between neighborhood typology and heat vulnerability in the context of the 1995 Chicago Heat Wave. An analysis of deaths attributed to the 1995 heat wave event in Chicago examines the degree to which the Dynamic Neighborhood Taxonomy (DNT) Neighborhood Typology serves as an appropriate indicator of heat-related mortality. A series of regression analyses provide evidence of a broad relationship between neighborhood typology and heat vulnerability, wherein high-tier neighborhood types are associated with a significant decrease in the number of heat-related deaths when compared to low-tier neighborhood types. Findings from the analysis inform recommendations policymakers can adopt to improve the performance of emergency management and hazard mitigation strategies for future heat events in the City of Chicago.

description: We validate a $R_p=2.32\pm 0.24R_\oplus$ planet on a close-in orbit ($P=2.260455\pm 0.000041$ days) around K2-28 (EPIC 206318379), a metal-rich M4-type dwarf in the Campaign 3 field of the K2 mission. Our follow-up observations included multi-band transit observations from the optical to the near infrared, low-resolution spectroscopy, and high-resolution adaptive-optics (AO) imaging. We perform a global fit to all the observed transits using a Gaussian process-based method and show that the transit depths in all passbands adopted for the ground-based transit follow-ups ($r'_2, z_\mathrm{s,2}, J, H, K_\mathrm{s}$) are within $\sim 2σ$ of the K2 value. Based on a model of the background stellar population and the absence of nearby sources in our AO imaging, we estimate the probability that a background eclipsing binary could cause a false positive to be $< 2\times 10^{-5}$. We also show that K2-28 cannot have a physically associated companion of stellar type later than M4, based on the measurement of almost identical transit depths in multiple passbands. There is a low probability for a M4 dwarf companion ($\approx 0.072_{-0.04}^{+0.02}$), but even if this were the case, the size of K2-28b falls within the planetary regime. K2-28b has the same radius (within $1σ$) and experiences a similar irradiation from its host star as the well-studied GJ~1214b. Given the relative brightness of K2-28 in the near infrared ($m_\mathrm{Kep}=14.85$ mag and $m_H=11.03$ mag) and relatively deep transit ($0.6-0.7\%$), a comparison between the atmospheric properties of these two planets with future observations would be especially interesting.

Is Cooperative Hosing Still the Answer?: A Case Study of the Cedar Riverside Neighborhood in Minneapolis
Creators: name: Treat, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: Cooperative Housing has a long history of providing affordable housing in the United States and abroad. The cooperative housing tenet of democratically based resident control helps to keep rents low and encourages member empowerment. Over time, many cooperatives face challenges in remaining both financially and socially viable. Many factors such as neighborhood demographics or adherence to basic cooperative principles are thought to contribute to the success of cooperatives. This paper adds to the collective cooperative knowledge by examining whether cooperative's can serve immigrant populations effectively. The research is based on a literature review and a survey analysis of the Riverside Cooperatives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The survey results indicate that while the Cedar-Riverside cooperatives are indeed struggling, the problems are due to a departure from the core operating principles rather than the presence of immigrant residents.

Rural economic development in the creative economy: a case study of the STARworks Center for Creative Enterprise in Montgomery County, NC
Creators: name: Wagner, Christa Caren
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: As many rural areas have lost the competitive advantage they once depended on in the form of lower labor and business costs, natural resources and land, economic developers have sought strategies that can sustainably support growth and revitalization. Place-based economic development has been a promising pathway for many communities. While existing scholarship emphasizes the inward-looking, grassroots aspects of such strategies, they need not be seen as exclusively local and indigenous. This case study explores how the STARworks Center for Creative Enterprise in Montgomery County, North Carolina has embraced a place-based strategy that successfully interweaves investing local resources to grow both existing small businesses and carefully recruited outside entrepreneurs in its quest to diversify the local economic base and achieve long-term stability and prosperity. Due to its specific focus on creative businesses, STARworks also presents an opportunity to consider how the generation of economic activity through culture, knowledge and ideas, part of the emerging theory of the creative economy, evolves at the local scale.

Random field disorder at an absorbing state transition in one and two dimensions

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We investigate the behavior of nonequilibrium phase transitions under the influence of disorder that locally breaks the symmetry between two symmetrical macroscopic absorbing states. In equilibrium systems such "random-field" disorder destroys the phase transition in low dimensions by preventing spontaneous symmetry breaking. In contrast, we show here that random-field disorder fails to destroy the nonequilibrium phase transition of the one- and two-dimensional generalized contact process. Instead, it modifies the dynamics in the symmetry-broken phase. Specifically, the dynamics in the one-dimensional case is described by a Sinai walk of the domain walls between two different absorbing states. In the two-dimensional case, we map the dynamics onto that of the well studied low-temperature random-field Ising model. We also study the critical behavior of the nonequilibrium phase transition and characterize its universality class in one dimension. We support our results by large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, and we discuss the applicability of our theory to other systems.

description: We report herschel observations of 100 very luminous, optically selected AGNs at z=2-3.5 with log(LUV)(erg/sec)> 46.5, where LUV=L1350A. The distribution in LUV is similar to the general distribution of SDSS AGNs in this redshift and luminosity interval. We measured SF luminosity, LSF, and SFR in 34 detected sources by fitting combined SF and WISE-based torus templates. We also obtained statistically significant stacks for the undetected sources in two luminosity groups. The sample properties are compared with those of very luminous AGNs at z>4.5. The main findings are: 1) The mean and the median SFRs of the detected sources are 1176 and 1010 Msun/yr, respectively. The mean SFR of the undetected sources is 148 Msun/yr. The ratio of SFR to BH accretion rate is approximately 80 for the detected sources and less than 10 for the undetected sources. There is no difference in LAGN and only a very small difference in L(torus) between detected and undetected sources. 2) The redshift distribution of LSF and LAGN for the most luminous, redshift 2-7 AGNs are different. The highest LAGN are found at z=~3. However, LSF of such sources peaks at z=~5. Assuming the objects in our sample are hosted by the most massive galaxies at those redshifts, we find many of them are below the main-sequence of SF galaxies at z=2-3.5. 3) The SEDs of dusty tori at high redshift are similar to those found in low redshift, low luminosity AGNs. Herschel upper limits put strong constraints on the long wavelength SED ruling out several earlier suggested torus templates. 4) We find no evidence for a luminosity dependence of the torus covering factor in sources with log(LAGN)=44-47.5. This conclusion is based on the highly uncertain and non-uniformally treated LAGN in many earlier studies. The median covering factors over this range are 0.68 for isotropic dust emission and 0.4 for anisotropic emission.

Development impacts of a proposed interstate on isolated wetlands in Horry County, South Carolina
Creators: name: Buckley, Lisa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: South Carolina has more acres of wetlands, and several hundred thousand acres of isolated wetlands, than any other state in the southeastern United States. The rare and specialized ecological functions of these ecosystems give them importance, but state policies do not broadly protect these values. A growing number of tourists each year flock to the mild coastal shores for sun, golf and relaxation, and the development that fuels this tourist economy are not required to evaluate the full extent of their building impacts. This study uses an existing roadway to model the probable induced development impacts from a proposed interstate project whose terminus is planned for the shores of Myrtle Beach. Myrtle Beach is the second largest beach destination on the east coast. Its popularity has contributed to the rampant population and building growth between 1994 and 1999. In collecting data through a series of GIS layers, I found that 90 new subdivisions and golf courses were constructed in Horry County during this five-year period. I characterized the developments by their location and the land use that they altered. Importantly, a quarter of the impacted land uses were wetlands. Statistical analyses showed that their location and highest densities concentrated near the modeled roadway and coastline, offering support for the use of these variables as indicators of development. The most unanticipated locations of development were found to be at the borders of existing wildlife preserves. My master's project aims to expand the scale of existing development impact assessment and environmental impact statement methodologies used in South Carolina. Through a summer internship at Southern Environmental Law Center in Chapel Hill, NC, I learned that other states, namely our own, have made strides in secondary and cumulative impact assessments. South Carolina then could conceivably utilize these models, provided that state transportation and environmental planners collaborate and adopt this broader scale modeling. A second lofty ambition then is to provide an impetus to integrate these two disciplines through practical applications. This study facilitates the application of this methodology by choosing a county-wide scale consistent with current transportation planning initiatives. Results of this study may also contribute to existing wildlife studies at the Lewis Ocean Bay Preserve and Waccamaw River National Wildlife Refuge in Horry County.

description: We show that the axiom of Felder and Kazhdan on the vanishing of the cohomology groups in negative degree associated to solutions of the classical master equation in the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is violated by the spinning particle in a flat background coupled to D=1 supergravity. In this model, there are nontrivial cohomology groups in all negative degrees, regardless of the dimension of the spacetime in which the spinning particle is propagating.
description: 17 pages In v2, we correct an error in the calculation of cohomology in degree -1, extend our calculation to positive degrees, and construct the transgression classes by a uniform method. In v3, we calculate the Lie bracket on the BV cohomology, and make a number of further corrections, especially to the definition of the filtration used in the spectral sequence used to prove the main theorem

description: Cold atoms bring new opportunities to study quantum magnetism, and in particular, to simulate quantum magnets with symmetry greater than $SU(2)$. Here we explore the topological excitations which arise in a model of cold atoms on the triangular lattice with $SU(3)$ symmetry. Using a combination of homotopy analysis and analytic field-theory we identify a new family of solitonic wave functions characterised by integer charge ${\bf Q} = (Q_A, Q_B, Q_C)$, with $Q_A + Q_B + Q_C = 0$. We use a numerical approach, based on a variational wave function, to explore the stability of these solitons on a finite lattice. We find that, while solitons with charge ${\bf Q} = (Q, -Q, 0)$ are stable, wave functions with more general charge spontaneously decay into pairs of solitons with emergent interactions. This result suggests that it could be possible to realise a new class of interacting soliton, with no classical analogue, using cold atoms. It also suggests the possibility of a new form of quantum spin liquid, with gauge--group U(1)$\times$U(1).

Interviewer effects in studies of private demand for cholera vaccines: evidence from India, Mozambique, and Bangladesh
Creators: name: McMahon, Melissa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006
Subjects: Cholera Vaccine

description: This paper investigated the impact of interviewers on respondent self-reported willingness to pay for cholera vaccines in three study sites: Kolkata, India; Matlab, Bangladesh; and Beira, Mozambique. Specifically examined were the relationships between interviewer gender and respondent gender, age, and education level. The analysis also measured the overall variance in responses caused by individual interviewers. It was found that only individual interviewer effects are present in the Kolkata and Beira studies, while interviewer gender effects and gender-gender, -age, and -education interactions are present in the Matlab study. When controlling for individual interviewer effects in the Matlab analysis, only the gender-education interaction is still significant. Despite the high levels of significance of individual interviewer effects in each study, the magnitude of these effects on response variance as indicated by their coefficients is still fairly small. These results suggest that these CVM studies may be more resistant to interviewer characteristic effects than other studies that a) focus on gender-sensitive issues, b) use smaller numbers of interviewers or c) use smaller sample sizes. The results also suggest that while whole interviewer effects are present in all three studies, the size of the interviewer teams prevents the few aberrant interviewers from causing large amounts of variance across the whole sample, keeping the CVM results reliable and likely to be generalizable to their respective populations.

description: This paper presents small-scale fading measurements for 28 GHz outdoor millimeter-wave ultrawideband channels using directional horn antennas at the transmitter and receiver. Power delay profiles were measured at half-wavelength spatial increments over a local area (33 wavelengths) on a linear track in two orthogonal receiver directions in a typical base-to-mobile scenario with fixed transmitter and receiver antenna beam pointing directions. The voltage path amplitudes are shown to follow a Rician distribution, with K-factor ranging from 9 - 15 dB and 5 - 8 dB in line of sight (LOS) and non-line of sight (NLOS) for a vertical-to-vertical co-polarized antenna scenario, respectively, and from 3 - 7 dB in both LOS and NLOS vertical-to-horizontal cross-polarized antenna scenario. The average spatial autocorrelation functions of individual multipath components reveal that signal amplitudes reach a correlation of 0 after 2 and 5 wavelengths in LOS and NLOS co-polarized V-V antenna scenarios. The models provided are useful for recreating path gain statistics of millimeter-wave wideband channel impulse responses over local areas, for the study of multi-element antenna simulations and channel estimation algorithms.

The risks of an inclusionary zoning policy on its managing organization: a case study of Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Creators: name: Monaco, Vincent Thomas

description: Over the past several decades, policymakers have increasingly looked to Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) as a mechanism to address the shortage of affordable housing in their communities. Many local governments have put in place ordinances which mandate the development of affordable housing within larger projects, and as a result of these regulations, these communities have experienced short term successes. However, because these ordinances have neglected to include specific language regarding the long term financing and sustainability of these programs, many communities have experienced setbacks in their attempts to provide and maintain a supply of permanently affordable homeownership units. This paper will provide guidance on how municipalities should amend or craft their IZ policies to achieve their long term goals.

description: Ionic liquids (ILs) have received considerable interest in various fields of research and promise a vast range of applications; among others, they are promising stabilizers for nanoparticles. ILs consist of a large organic cation and a small inorganic anion. The different charges of the molecules cause a strong attractive interaction, while the large difference of size of the molecules prevents condensation at room temperature. Due to their low vapour pressure ILs can be used under vacuum conditions and - in addition - do not emit volatile organic compounds. Thus their unique physicochemical properties suggest ILs can be used as a "green" replacement for traditional organic solvents. For now, only a few studies of the stability of nanoparticles in RTILs are available, nevertheless the nanoparticle stability is of critical importance in controlling aggregation processes. Further, all sample production processes have in common that cluster growth takes place inside the ionic liquid, which complicates the discussion of sample stability. In the experiments presented here 2 nm silver nanoparticles with a well-characterized size distribution are preformed in a supersonic nozzle expansion and deposited afterwards into the ionic liquid. The cluster plasmon is investigated by-situ by UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy during cluster deposition as well as in temperature dependent measurements after deposition. We observed that the storage temperature as well as the choice of anion and cation influences the cluster stability on timescales of several days. The sample aggregation can be described using the model of diffusion-limited aggregation. All experimental results are compared to calculated spectra using Generalized Mie Theory for several geometric shapes of cluster aggregates. The local interatomic arrangement within the samples is determined in X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements performed at beamline P64, DESY, Hamburg. Besides conventional EXAFS analysis in order to determine nearest neighbour distances and coordination numbers the experimental results are completed by XANES analysis using artificial neural networks. It could be shown that no coalescence to larger particles takes place during deposition; instead the clusters form chain-like aggregates.

description: Cucurbitacins are triterpene bioactive constituents of natural products, particularly in the Cucurbitaceae plant family. The presence of cucurbitacins in seeds of the Cucurbita genus (pumpkin) has been only little studied. In this work, the content of cucurbitacins B, D, and E in seed oils from three cucurbits (Cucurbita moschata Duch, Cucurbita pepo Linn, and Cucurbita maxima Linn) was studied. An analytical method based on HPLC-DAD for the detection and quantification of these three cucurbitacins in seed oils was developed and validated according to ICH guidelines. The method showed good linearity, accuracy, and precision for the simultaneous quantification of cucurbitacins B, D, and E using C.moschata seed oil as a reference. When applied to C.pepo and C.maxima seed oils, cucurbitacin B and D were quantified but to a lesser extent. This is the first report of a simple, repeatable, and reproducible analytical tool to identify cucurbitacins in oilseeds from Cucurbita spp.
