Industrial Composition of Business Establishments within North Carolina Floodplains
Creators: name: Sacripanti, Keagan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: This paper examines industrial composition of businesses located within floodplains in the state of North Carolina. Data on business presence and industrial composition are derived from establishment-level business data from the National Establishment Time Series, using industry definitions based on the Standard Industrial Classification coding system. This data is intersected with spatial floodplain definitions from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in order to classify business establishments based on presence within floodplains. Through analysis based primarily in location quotient data – comparing establishments within North Carolina floodplains to establishments statewide – this paper demonstrates that floodplains in North Carolina specialize in retail industries, in particular eating and drinking places, while underspecializing in agricultural industries, in particular crop production. These patterns in specialization hold when controlling for whether an establishment is more or less than five years old, as well as when controlling for whether an establishment is located in North Carolina’s coastal plain or further inland. This paper also reports an incidental finding that establishments within North Carolina floodplains tend to be significantly older than establishments statewide. This paper concludes with a discussion of possible explanations for these patterns, policy implications for these findings, and suggestions for future research.

description: We study corner contributions to holographic mutual information for entangling regions composed of a set of disjoint sectors of a single infinite circle in three-dimensional conformal field theories. In spite of the UV divergence of holographic mutual information, it exhibits a first order phase transition. We show that tripartite information is also divergent for disjoint sectors, which is in contrast with the well-known feature of tripartite information being finite even when entangling regions share boundaries. We also verify the locality of corner effects by studying mutual information between regions separated by a sharp annular region. Possible extensions to higher dimensions and hyperscaling violating geometries is also considered for disjoint sectors.

Assessing Equitable Transit Oriented Development Policy: Cases of Cross-Disciplinary Partnerships and Coordinated Programs from Minneapolis-St.Paul, Atlanta and Austin
Creators: name: Grace, Kari
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: A growing number of regions are recognizing the importance of equitable
development by incorporating components such as affordable housing and
enhanced citizen participation into their transit oriented development policies.
Reviewing the eTOD experience in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Atlanta and Austin shows
varying approaches and levels of success. Because of the unique challenges
associated with affordable housing and equitable development in transit areas,
eTOD policies are necessary to ensure that TOD encompasses all aspects of
sustainability. Nevertheless, there is no one size fits all approach for each locality,
and no policy can solve all problems alone and should instead be integrated into a
collaborative program carried out by a coalition of actors.

Noise Kernel for Reissner Nordstrom Metric: Results at Cauchy Horizon
Creators: name: Satin, Seema
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We obtain point separated Noise Kernel for the Reissner Nordström metric.The Noise Kernel defines the fluctuations of the quantum stress tensor and is of central importance to Semiclassical Stochastic Gravity.The metric is modeled as gravitationally collapsing spacetime, by using suitable coordinate transformations, defined earlier. The fluctuations of the quantum stress tensor, at the final stage of collapse are then analysed for both, the naked singularity and black hole end states. The behavior of this Noise Kernel, at the Cauchy Horizon for naked singularity shows markedly different behaviour from self similar Tolman Bondi metric, which was obtained earlier. In the latter a very unique divergence was seen, which does not appear for the Reissner Nordström metric, here . It is known that the quantum stress tensor itself, diverges at the Cauchy Horizon (CH) for both of these metrics . In contrast, it can now be seen that the the fluctuations of the stress tensor behave differently for the two cases. We give a discussion and further directions for investigations of this interesting behaviour in the two cases (regarding the collapse scenario).
Defining mixed-use: which land uses promote walking?
Creators: name: Lewis McConville, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: A growing body of literature finds that mixed-use development can affect trip frequency, trip length and mode choice. Though researchers have explored the general impacts of this type of development on travel, few have examined which specific land uses should be mixed to achieve transportation-related goals. This Master's Project addresses this gap in the literature, focusing on the influence of mixed land uses on utilitarian walking. Built environment data was related to utilitarian walking and total walking for individuals (n=251) in Montgomery County, Maryland. For a variety of land uses, exposure measures included the distance from participants' homes to the closest instance of each land use (presence), the number of instances of each land use within ½ and ¼ mile buffers of homes (intensity), and the number of different land uses present within ½ and ¼ mile buffers of homes (diversity). Distances to bus stops, fast food restaurants, grocery stores, Metro stations, offices, physical activity uses, recreational facilities, restaurants, social uses and sports facilities were negatively associated with transportation walking (OR .01- .90). The intensities of bus stops, grocery stores, offices, and retail stores were positively correlated with utilitarian walking (OR 1.04-5.51). Furthermore, a dose-response relationship between land use diversity and walking for transport was detected. Results suggest that planners, policymakers and developers can encourage physical activity and promote walking as a travel mode choice through the careful design of mixed-use developments.

description: We study a wireless-powered uplink communication system with non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), consisting of one base station and multiple energy harvesting users. More specifically, we focus on the individual data rate optimization and fairness improvement and we show that the formulated problems can be optimally and efficiently solved by either linear programming or convex optimization. In the provided analysis, two types of decoding order strategies are considered, namely fixed decoding order and time- sharing. Furthermore, we propose an efficient greedy algorithm, which is suitable for the practical implementation of the time-sharing strategy. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed scheme outperforms the baseline orthogonal multiple access scheme. More specifically, it is shown that NOMA offers a considerable improvement in throughput, fairness, and energy efficiency. Also, the dependence among system throughput, minimum individual data rate, and harvested energy is revealed, as well as an interesting trade-off between rates and energy efficiency. Finally, the convergence speed of the proposed greedy algorithm is evaluated, and it is shown that the required number of iterations is linear with respect to the number of users.

description: Thermodynamics is the phenomenological theory of heat and work. Here we analyze to what extent quantum thermodynamic relations are immune to the underlying mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. As a main result, we show that the Jarzynski equality holds true for all non-hermitian quantum systems with real spectrum. This equality expresses the second law of thermodynamics for isothermal processes arbitrarily far from equilibrium. In the quasistatic limit however, the second law leads to the Carnot bound which is fulfilled even if some eigenenergies are complex provided they appear in conjugate pairs. Furthermore, we propose two setups to test our predictions. Namely with strongly interacting excitons and photons in a semiconductor microcavity and in the non-hermitian tight-binding model.

Developing a reuse plan for an underutilized community asset
Creators: name: Cunningham, Caroline A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This report provides a step-by-step methodology to complete a reuse plan for an underutilized property. It is based on an actual project to renovate and reuse the historic Clay County courthouse in Hayesville, North Carolina. I became involved in the courthouse project when Smithson Mills, the lead consultant on the project, hired me as a research assistant. I was interested in working on the project to gain experience in the real estate consulting field. Specifically, it presented an opportunity to learn the process of determining the best use for a real estate asset owned by a local government. The historic Clay County Courthouse sits in the middle of the Hayesville, North Carolina downtown square (Exhibit 1). It was constructed in 1889 and remained in use for well over half a century. In 2007, the Clay County Government Center was built on the outskirts of town, eliminating the need to hold court-related services in the downtown. To date, the courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places but remains vacant and dilapidated. Investments have been made to restore the facade, stabilize the foundation, and replace the steeple due to weather damage. The ground floor of the building is divided into several rooms while the upper level is open and lined with floor-to-ceiling windows (Exhibit 2, Exhibit 3). A floor plan of the existing building can be found in Appendix B. Clay County, a rural county, presented challenges due to its small population. In 2000, population of Clay County was 8,775.3 By 2007, the population had grown by 16.7% to 10,238, reflecting the influx of retirees to the area.4 The town of Hayesville reported a population of 344 in 2007, representing 3% of the county's population.2 Despite the small population, there are several nearby urban areas from which Clay County draws tourists for its natural resources, arts base, and small town charm. There are several cities within a two-hour drive to the courthouse including Atlanta (131 miles), Knoxville (130 miles), and Asheville (100 miles), adding to the potential consumer base for the courthouse. Further details on the demographics and area facts can found in the Clay County Courthouse Reuse Plan (Appendix A). In addition to the small population of Clay County, the County government intends to retain ownership after the renovation. This information had to be accounted for in determining the feasibility of each use option. The idea of reusing the historic county courthouse began with a community vision and, subsequently, a grant to the county from the North Carolina Rural Center. Using the grant money, Clay County government officials hired an architect and a consultant to complete the redevelopment and reuse plans for their historic courthouse. The architect, Ellen Harris, is focusing on the renovation efforts. Meanwhile, the consultants, Smithson Mills and I, determined the best use for the courthouse.

description: Full-Duplex (FD) transceivers may be expensive in terms of complexity, power consumption, and price to be implemented in all user terminals. Therefore, techniques to exploit in-band full-duplex communication with FD base stations (BSs) and half-duplex (HD) users' equipment (UEs) are required. In this context, 3-node topology (3NT) has been recently proposed for FD BSs to reuse the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) channels with HD terminals within the same cell. In this paper, we present a tractable mathematical framework, based on stochastic geometry, for 3NT in cellular networks. To this end, we propose a design paradigm via pulse-shaping and partial overlap between UL and DL channels to maximize the harvested rate gains in 3NT. The results show that 3NT achieves a close performance to networks with FD BSs and FD UEs, denoted by 2-node topology (2NT) networks. A maximum of 5$\%$ rate loss is reported when 3NT is compared to 2NT with efficient self-interference cancellation (SIC). If the SIC in 2NT is not efficient, 3NT highly outperforms 2NT. Consequently, we conclude that, irrespective to the UE duplexing scheme, it is sufficient to have FD BSs to harvest FD rate gains.

The Relationship between Empathic Concern and Perceived Personal Costs for Helping and How It is Affected by Similarity Perceptions
Creators: name: Siem, Birte
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: One explanation for the positive effect of state empathic concern on helping is that such other-focused feelings reduce helpers' perceptions of their personal costs for helping. Results from an experiment (N = 186) supported these assumptions and showed further that self-focused feelings of personal distress, another form of affective empathy, were a positive predictor of perceived costs. Moreover, I examined whether the strength of the negative relationship between empathic concern and personal costs depends on two forms of perceived similarity between the helper and the target, person similarity and experience similarity. For this purpose, I manipulated person similarity by portraying the target as either similar or dissimilar with regard to essential characteristics, and assessed experience similarity by asking whether or not participants share the target’s negative experience. As predicted, the negative relationship between empathic concern and perceived personal costs was strongest when person similarity was high and experience similarity low.

description: Quantum fluctuations of the gravitational field in the early Universe, amplified by inflation, produce a primordial gravitational-wave background across a broad frequency band. We derive constraints on the spectrum of this gravitational radiation, and hence on theories of the early Universe, by combining experiments that cover 29 orders of magnitude in frequency. These include Planck observations of cosmic microwave background temperature and polarization power spectra and lensing, together with baryon acoustic oscillations and big bang nucleosynthesis measurements, as well as new pulsar timing array and ground-based interferometer limits. While individual experiments constrain the gravitational-wave energy density in specific frequency bands, the combination of experiments allows us to constrain cosmological parameters, including the inflationary spectral index, $n_t$, and the tensor-to-scalar ratio, $r$. Results from individual experiments include the most stringent nanohertz limit of the primordial background to date from the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array, $Ω_{\rm gw}(f)<2.3\times10^{-10}$. Observations of the cosmic microwave background alone limit the gravitational-wave spectral index at 95\% confidence to $n_t\lesssim5$ for a tensor-to-scalar ratio of $r = 0.11$. However, the combination of all the above experiments limits $n_t<0.36$. Future Advanced LIGO observations are expected to further constrain $n_t<0.34$ by 2020. When cosmic microwave background experiments detect a non-zero $r$, our results will imply even more stringent constraints on $n_t$ and hence theories of the early Universe.

description: Since the initialization of economic reforms in 1978, China has undergone significant urbanization and modernization at an increasingly rapid pace, with the national urbanization rate increasing from 17.9% in 1978 to 57.4% in 2016. An increasingly significant portion of China’s population is integrating itself into thriving urbanized areas. Though amounting to only 8.5% of the nation’s total population (1.5 billion), China’s ethnic minority population remains considerable in number. In the future, by adopting the National New-Type Urbanization Plan in 2014, China’s urbanization is expected to evolve into a more human-oriented process, as the plan ambitiously aims to increase the urban population by another 200 million, most of which will consist of Chinese ethnic minorities. It is hoped that this increase will boost the urbanization rate among Chinese ethnic minorities. The gaps within existing literature and the practicality of improving the inclusivity of the urban minority population in the urbanization process legitimize the development of a comprehensive and retrospective study of the evolution of spatial-temporal dynamics of the distribution of Chinese ethnic groups with a Chinese urbanization perspective on a national scale. Based on national census data from 1990, 2000, and 2010, this study adopts the Standard Deviational Ellipse as a distributional trend measurement of minorities in urban China and determines four major new features of the distribution of the Chinese ethnic minorities over the last twenty-years in China’s urbanization context. First, a three-stage peripheral-to-core transition pattern was observed. Second, it is observed that there is an escalating decline of the urban minority population in the central region of China, particularly since 2000. Third, national-level city agglomerations located in the eastern region of China have begun to play leading roles in minority urbanization, particularly those located in the Yangtze and Pearl River Delta. Fourth, in both China’s west region and its autonomous areas, as continuous beneficiaries of supportive policies, metropolises, such as provincial capitals, have been shaped into important regional minority population concentrations. This study also allows for a better insight of Chinese urbanization processes and their inter/intra-relating mechanisms in ethnic minority areas. Finally, this study’s findings provide insightful and detailed information for scholars, policy and, ultimately, decisionmakers, to improve the process for sustainable and inclusive urbanization in China.

Streamlining, Consolidation, Expansion, Coordination, and Partnerships: A Guide for Improving Transit in the Research Triangle of North Carolina
Creators: name: Clark, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007
Subjects: Triangle Transit Authority

description: In the Research Triangle region of North Carolina, five agencies operate public transit services: one regional provider, Triangle Transit Authority (TTA), which operates regional service in Wake, Durham, and Orange counties; and four local agencies, confined to providing services in the cities in which they operate: Capital Area Transit (CAT) in Raleigh; Cary Transit (C-Tran) in Cary; Durham Area Transit Authority (DATA) in Durham; and Chapel Hill Transit in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. A recent discussion about consolidation of services has prompted CAT, DATA, and TTA to pursue increased coordination of services before making the decision to consolidate. This paper will present a plan that could be implemented for expansion and realignment of existing services in order to achieve consolidation. It finds that removing barriers to providing services between cities can provide trunk lines, with feeder services provided on the neighborhood level.

High-order-harmonic generation in benzene with linearly and circularly polarised laser pulses

description: High harmonic generation in benzene is studied using a mixed quantum-classical approach in which the electrons are described using time-dependent density functional theory while the ions move classically. The interaction with both circularly and linearly polarised infra-red ($λ= 800$ nm) laser pulses of duration 10 cycles (26.7 fs) is considered. The effect of allowing the ions to move is investigated as is the effect of including self-interaction corrections to the exchange-correlation functional. Our results for circularly polarised pulses are compared with previous calculations in which the ions were kept fixed and self-interaction corrections were not included while our results for linearly polarised pulses are compared with both previous calculations and experiment. We find that even for the short duration pulses considered here, the ionic motion greatly influences the harmonic spectra. While ionization and ionic displacements are greatest when linearly polarised pulses are used, the response to circularly polarised pulses is almost comparable, in agreement with previous experimental results.

L'infusion de la modernité et son art de vivre : Ode à la jeunesse et aux petits cafés de Taipei

description: Au cœur de la problématique de cette recherche se trouve la question du sentiment de pertinence de l’appartenance des jeunes Taïwanais qui fréquentent et ouvrent les petits cafés de Taipei, autour de l’Université National de Taïwan (NTU) et de l’Université normale nationale de Taïwan (NTNU). En quoi les petits cafés de Taipei sont-ils des foyers pertinents, de modernités, de répit et d’appartenance à Taïwan et au monde, tout comme d’expression des relations affectives et politiques, de la première génération de jeunes Taïwanais à avoir grandi et passé à l’âge adulte sous le régime démocratique instauré dans les années 1990, qui les ouvrent et les fréquentent assidûment ? Ayant vécu toute ma vie entre les frontières de diverses cultures, expliquer d’où je viens moi-même est déjà assez compliqué. D’où mon attrait pour la vocation introspective de l’anthropologie, ainsi que pour le concept subversif de la modernité et sa portée pour la question implicite de ma thèse de maîtrise en anthropologie : suis-je pertinent sans sentiment d’appartenance ? Où donc est ma place dans ce monde ? Mes amis à Taipei ont souvent insisté sur le fait que j’avais sans doute été Taïwanais dans une vie antérieure. Mais, plus important encore, c’était quoi être Taïwanais pour eux ? En atterrissant à Taïwan en 2007, je pensais en outre que la question de leur identité était taboue, après tant d’années de colonisation et de loi martiale. Pourtant, mes amis s’en donnaient à cœur joie dans les innombrables petits cafés autour de leurs universités. Pour mon enquête de terrain entre 2013 et 2014, j’emportai donc ce questionnement, autant personnel que de recherche, dans l’intimité de ces foyers à la fois pratique et confortable, jusque dans les rues du Mouvement des Tournesols. À l’aide de l’observation participante, d’entrevues et d’une analyse de l’histoire du café à Taïwan, j’illustre avec l’assistance de la poésie irrévérencieuse de Charles Baudelaire comment les petits cafés de Taipei sont des foyers de répit social qui à travers l’histoire ont été habités par la modernité de diverses régions du monde, pour éventuellement incarner la modernité de Taïwan. Les jeunes qui aiment fréquenter les petits cafés autour de la NTU et de la NTNU se retrouvent ainsi à l’intérieur de foyers dont le paysage imaginaire est cosmopolite, contribuant à l’aménagement de leur perspective moderne sur le monde, avec laquelle ils interagissent et construisent une nouvelle identité taïwanaise.
Designing a Quick Index of New Urbanism
Creators: name: Crooks, Lisa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006
Subjects: New urbanisms

description: The concept of new urbanism has become the subject of active discussion and debate among planning scholars and practitioners in the last decade. Proponents and critics are often working with different ideas of precisely what new urban developments look like, a problem which only confuses discussions on the merits of the concept. Efforts to formally define new urbanism, such as the Charter of the New Urbanism, still do not offer quantifiable characteristics nor a method for comparing across developments. To address these issues, this thesis will consider new urbanism as an index of continuous values, based on how much or how well a development meets criteria, rather than as a binary state. Simply classifying a development as new urban or conventional does not capture the full range of variation in types of development, nor does it allow for meaningful comparisons between developments. The immediate application of the index will be to a hazard mitigation research project at the University of North Carolina by Professors Philip Berke, Yan Song, and David Salvesen, funded by the National Science Foundation. In order to be useful for research projects attempting to analyze many developments, the index of new urbanism was designed to be relatively quick to implement using readily available or calculable data. This analysis presents a complete discussion of methods to allow replication for other datasets and a critical evaluation of how well the index performs in capturing differences between neighborhoods and the new urban principles. The methods presented here improve upon existing methods for evaluating neighborhoods in offering a more comprehensive approach designed to maximize the options for evaluating variability between neighborhoods. The process of measuring new urban neighborhoods is valuable, and quantifying what we can already evaluate qualitatively can be a useful tool in the research and application of neighborhood design.
Fluctuations in horizon-fluid lead to negative bulk viscosity

description: Einstein equations projected on to a black hole horizon gives rise to Navier-Stokes equations. Horizon-fluids typically possess unusual features like negative bulk viscosity and it is not clear whether a statistical mechanical description exists for such fluids. In this work, we provide an explicit derivation of the Bulk viscosity of the horizon-fluid based on the theory of fluctuations a la Kubo. The main advantage of our approach is that our analysis remains for the most part independent of the details of the underlying microscopic theory and hence the conclusions reached here are model independent. We show that the coefficient of bulk viscosity for the horizon-fluid matches exactly with the value found from the equations of motion for the horizon-fluid.
