description: A pesky environmental group is constantly hampering your development plans. The group is fiercely opposed to your project and has attempted to thwart your efforts. On many occasions, the group has expressed its concerns to the local zoning authority. It challenges every permit you seek and went so far as to submit scathing editorials to the local paper. These efforts have delayed your project, cost you serious money, and are making your life miserable. You believe that the group's concerns are mostly unfounded, and you are convinced it has given inaccurate information about the environmental impacts. If you could make this mob disappear, you are certain that the project would proceed without further delay. You are now considering taking the group to court, and a local lawyer is eager to file a multi-million dollar lawsuit for you. The opposition group has limited resources, and you think the threat of costly and protracted litigation will make the group abandon its tactics. Will filing a lawsuit be the answer to your problems, or will it result in even greater difficulties? This article will help a developer in this situation answer the question.

description: African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) have been distinct from the Auroch lineage leading to domestic cattle for 5 million years, and are reservoirs of multiple pathogens, that affect introduced domestic cattle. To date, there has been no analysis of the class I MHC locus in African buffalo. We present the first data on African buffalo class I MHC, which demonstrates that gene and predicted protein coding sequences are approximately 86–87% similar to that of African domestic cattle in the peptide binding region. The study also shows concordance in the distribution of codons with elevated posterior probabilities of positive selection in the buffalo class I MHC and known antigen binding sites in cattle. Overall, the diversity in buffalo class I sequences appears greater than that in cattle, perhaps related to a more complex pathogen challenge environment in Africa. However, application of NetMHCpan suggested broad clustering of peptide binding specificities between buffalo and cattle. Furthermore, in the case of at least 20 alleles, critical peptide-binding residues appear to be conserved with those of cattle, including at secondary anchor residues. Alleles with six different length transmembrane regions were detected. This preliminary analysis suggests that like cattle, but unlike most other mammals, African buffalo appears to exhibit configuration (haplotype) variation in which the loci are expressed in distinct combinations.

description: The electronic structure of an isostructural series of molecular conductors, β'-X[Pd(dmit)_2]_2 is systematically studied by a first-principles method based on the density-functional theory. The calculated band structures are fitted to the tight-binding model based on Pd(dmit)_2 dimers on the triangular lattice. We find systematic variation in the anisotropy of the transfer integrals along the three directions of the triangular lattice taking different values. The transfer integral along the face-to-face stacking direction of Pd(dmit)_2 dimers is always the largest. Around the quantum spin liquid, X = EtMe_3Sb, the other two transfer integrals become comparable. We also report sensible differences in the distribution of wavefunctions near the Fermi level between the two dmit ligands of the Pd(dmit)_2 molecule.

description: Hawking showed that the radiation emitted from a classical collapsing shell is thermal. Here, we show that a semiclassical collapsing shell emits radiation that is only approximately thermal, with small but significant deviations. The most important difference is the presence of small off-diagonal elements in the radiation density matrix with a magnitude of order $1/\sqrt{S_{BH}}$, $S_{BH}$ being the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of the incipient black hole. The off-diagonal elements store the correlations between the collapsing shell and the emitted radiation and allow information to continuously leak from the collapsed body. The rate of escape of information is initially very small, increasing to order one by the Page time, when the black hole has lost half its original entropy. We show that, until the Page time, the radiation is almost exactly thermal and that, from this time on, it begins to purify at an increasing rate.

description: Several techniques have been established to quantify the mechanicals of single molecules. However, most of them show only limited capabilities of parallelizing the measurement by performing many individual measurements simultaneously. Herein, a microfluidics-based single-molecule force spectroscopy method, which achieves sub-nanometer spatial resolution and sub-piconewton sensitivity and is capable of simultaneously quantifying hundreds of single-molecule targets in parallel, is presented. It relies on a combination of total internal reflection microscopy and microfluidics, in which monodisperse fluorescent beads are immobilized on the bottom of a microfluidic channel by macromolecular linkers. Application of a flow generates a well-defined shear force acting on the beads, whereas the nanomechanical linker response is quantified based on the force-induced displacement of individual beads. To handle the high amount of data generated, a cluster analysis which is capable of a semi-automatic identification of measurement artifacts and molecular populations is implemented. The method is validated by probing the mechanical response polyethylene glycol linkers and binding strength of biotin–NeutrAvidin complexes. Two energy barriers (at 3 and 5.7 Å, respectively) in the biotin–NeutrAvidin interaction are resolved and the unfolding behavior of talin's rod domain R3 in the force range between 1 to ≈10 pN is probed.

description: Objectives: To evaluate texture analysis in nonenhanced 3-T MRI for differentiating pulmonary fungal infiltrates and lymphoma manifestations in hematological patients and to compare the diagnostic performance with that of signal intensity quotients ("nonenhanced imaging characterization quotients," NICQs). Methods: MR scans were performed using a speed-optimized imaging protocol without an intravenous contrast medium including axial T2-weighted (T2w) single-shot fast spin-echo and T1-weighted (T1w) gradient-echo sequences. ROIs were drawn within the lesions to extract first-order statistics from original images using HeterogeneityCAD and PyRadiomics. NICQs were calculated using signal intensities of the lesions, muscle, and fat. The standard of reference was histology or clinical diagnosis in follow-up. Statistical testing included ROC analysis, clustered ROC analysis, and DeLong test. Intra- and interrater reliability was tested using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Results: Thirty-three fungal infiltrates in 16 patients and 38 pulmonary lymphoma manifestations in 19 patients were included. Considering the leading lesion in each patient, diagnostic performance was excellent for T1w entropy (AUC 80.2%; p < 0.005) and slightly inferior for T2w energy (79.9%; p < 0.005), T1w uniformity (79.6%; p < 0.005), and T1w energy (77.0%; p < 0.01); the best AUC for NICQs was 72.0% for T2NICQmean (p < 0.05). Intra- and interrater reliability was good to excellent (ICC > 0.81) for these parameters except for moderate intrarater reliability of T1w energy (ICC = 0.64). Conclusions: T1w entropy, uniformity, and energy and T2w energy showed the best performances for differentiating pulmonary lymphoma and fungal pneumonia and outperformed NICQs. Results of the texture analysis should be checked for their intrinsic consistency to identify possible incongruities of single parameters. Key points: • Texture analysis in nonenhanced pulmonary MRI improves the differentiation of pulmonary lymphoma and fungal pneumonia compared with signal intensity quotients. • T1w entropy, uniformity, and energy along with T2w energy show the best performances for differentiating pulmonary lymphoma from fungal pneumonia. • The results of the texture analysis should be checked for their intrinsic consistency to identify possible incongruities of single parameters.

description: Currently, little information has been published on the application of ternary eluent compositions in supercritical fluid chromatography for separating peptides. This work investigates the benefits of adding acetonitrile to methanol as the modifier. Three cyclic antibiotic peptides (bacitracin, colistin, and daptomycin) ranging between 1000 and 2000 Da were chosen as model substances. The ternary mixture of carbon dioxide, methanol, and acetonitrile is optimized to increase the resolution of the peptide's fingerprint. In addition, varying compositions of methanol and acetonitrile were found to change the elution order of the analytes, which is a valuable tool during method development. An individual gradient method using two Torus 2-PIC columns (each 100 × 3.0 mm, 1.7 μm), carbon dioxide, and a modifier consisting of acetonitrile/methanol/water/methanesulfonic acid (60:40:2:0.1, v:v:v:v) was optimized for each of the peptides. Subsequently, a generic method development protocol applicable to polypeptides is proposed.
Western North Carolina Planning Policies: A Decade in Review

description: In December 1981, a joint project of the Center for Urban and Regional Studies (The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and the Center for Improving Mountain Living (Western Carolina University), supported by the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy, issued a report entitled Growth Management and the Future of Western North Carolina.2 According to that report, the "future" for environmental protection and land-use planning in western North Carolina was about ten years away. The report anticipated that interest in "growth management" would increase when county leaders recognized the need for balance between economic development, traditional lifestyles and the environment. Nearly eleven years have passed since publication of that report, and, true to the prediction, concern about those issues appears to be increasing throughout the region. For example, in the early eighties, leaders of all eight of the environmental interest action groups in the region would meet periodically around a single, small conference table to discuss issues of mutual interest. Today, there are over 50 such groups active throughout the region. While some of these groups focus on only a single issue, others are involved in a broad array of environmental and land-use concerns.

description: The details of the mechanism(s) responsible for the observed heating and dynamics of the solar atmosphere still remain a mystery. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are thought to play a vital role in this process. Although it has been shown that incompressible waves are ubiquitous in off-limb solar atmospheric observations their energy cannot be readily dissipated. We provide here, for the first time, on-disk observation and identification of concurrent MHD wave modes, both compressible and incompressible, in the solar chromosphere. The observed ubiquity and estimated energy flux associated with the detected MHD waves suggest the chromosphere is a vast reservoir of wave energy with the potential to meet chromospheric and coronal heating requirements. We are also able to propose an upper bound on the flux of the observed wave energy that is able to reach the corona based on observational constraints, which has important implications for the suggested mechanism(s) for quiescent coronal heating.

description: The purpose of this book is to showcase a diverse set of directions in empirical research on mediated discourse, reflecting on the state-of-the-art and the increasing intersection between Corpus-based Interpreting Studies (CBIS) and Corpus-based Translation Studies (CBTS). Undeniably, data from the European Parliament (EP) offer a great opportunity for such research. Not only does the institution provide a sizeable sample of oral debates held at the EP together with their simultaneous interpretations into all languages of the European Union. It also makes available written verbatim reports of the original speeches, which used to be translated. From a methodological perspective, EP materials thus guarantee a great degree of homogeneity, which is particularly valuable in corpus studies, where data comparability is frequently a challenge. In this volume, progress is visible in both CBIS and CBTS. In interpreting, it manifests itself notably in the availability of comprehensive transcription, annotation and alignment systems. In translation, datasets are becoming substantially richer in metadata, which allow for increasingly refined multi-factorial analysis. At the crossroads between the two fields, intermodal investigations bring to the fore what these mediation modes have in common and how they differ. The volume is thus aimed in particular at Interpreting and Translation scholars looking for new descriptive insights and methodological approaches in the investigation of mediated discourse, but it may be also of interest for (corpus) linguists analysing parliamentary discourse in general.

A REFLECTIVE PROCESS ON ABLEIST DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS | DISABILITY, FOOD ACCESS, AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO DESIGN

description: Accessibility often isn’t recognized to the abled-bodied. The objects, systems and tools of access aren’t even noticed until those without disabilities need it or become disabled themselves. Building on my initial academic and scholarly research, I conducted a case study at The Wabash Center; a facility that serves people with disabilities in the local West Lafayette and surrounding communities. I spent three months observing, journaling, and identifying key patterns that revealed the tensions in food access issues at the facility. These patterns included community, agency, dependency and assistance, and accountability. The issues I identified at The Wabash Center all fall under the overarching issue of power and control. Power and control describes the notion that is often exercised by abled-bodies in the presence of people with disabilities. In this context, food and food access is used as a form of power and control. It is commonly found that the issue of power and control is embedded in design and the way that designers conduct their processes. To better understand the systemic relationships and issues of food access, it was imperative to analyze the internal interactions of how disabled people negotiate in an institutionalized setting. This thesis discusses the reflection process of my efforts to look critically at my own assumptions about disability, food access, and its relationship to design.
On the Global Structure of Pulsar Force-free Magnetosphere

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The dipolar magnetic field structure of the neutron star is modified by the plasma originating in the pulsar magnetopshere. In the simplest case of a stationary axisymmetric force-free magnetosphere, a self-consistent description of the fields and currents is given by the well-known pulsar equation. Here we revise the commonly used boundary conditions of the problem in order to incorporate the plasma-producing gaps and to provide a framework for a truly self-consistent treatment of the pulsar magnetosphere. The generalized multipolar solution of the pulsar equation is found, which, as compared to the customary split monopole solution, is suggested to better represent the character of the dipolar force-free field at large distances. In particular, the outer gap location entirely inside the light cylinder implies that beyond the light cylinder the null and critical lines should be aligned and go parallel to the equator at a certain altitude. Our scheme of the pulsar force-free magnetosphere, which will hopefully be followed by extensive analytic and numerical studies, may have numerous implications for different fields of pulsar research.

description: We study a trajectory-planning problem whose solution path evolves by means of a Lie group action and passes near a designated set of target positions at particular times. This is a higher-order variational problem in optimal control, motivated by potential applications in computational anatomy and quantum control. Reduction by symmetry in such problems naturally summons methods from Lie group theory and Riemannian geometry. A geometrically illuminating form of the Euler-Lagrange equations is obtained from a higher-order Hamilton-Pontryagin variational formulation. In this context, the previously known node equations are recovered with a new interpretation as Legendre-Ostrogradsky momenta possessing certain conservation properties. Three example applications are discussed as well as a numerical integration scheme that follows naturally from the Hamilton-Pontryagin principle and preserves the geometric properties of the continuous-time solution.

Properties of free-free, dust, and CO emissions in the starbursts of blue compact dwarf galaxies

description: The central star-forming regions in three blue compact dwarf galaxies (He 2-10, NGC 5253, and II Zw 40) were observed in the 340 GHz (880 micron) band at 5 arcsec resolution with the Submillimetre Array (SMA). Continuum emission associated with the central star-forming complex was detected in all these galaxies. The SMA 880 micron flux is decomposed into free-free emission and dust emission by using centimetre-wavelength data in the literature. We find that free-free emission contributes half or more of the SMA 880 micron flux in the central starbursts in those three galaxies. In spite of the dominance of free-free emission at 880 micron, the radio-to-far infrared (FIR) ratios in the central star-forming regions are not significantly higher than those of the entire systems, showing the robustness of radio-FIR relation. Based on the robustness of the radio-FIR relation, we argue that the free--free fraction in the 880 micron emission is regulated by the dust temperature. We also analyze the CO (J = 3--2) emission data. We find that CO is a good tracer of the total gas mass in solar-metallicity object He 2-10. Low-metallicity objects, NGC 5253 and II Zw 40, have apparently high star formation efficiencies; however, this may be an artifact of significant dissociation of CO in the low-metallicity environments. We also point out a potential underestimate of dust mass, since the dust traced by emission is biased to the most luminous high-temperature regions, particularly when a system hosts a compact star-forming region where the dust temperature is high.

description: Objectives: To assess how modifying multiple protocol parameters affects the dose and diagnostic performance of a neck CT protocol using patient-mimicking phantoms and task-based methods. Methods: Six patient-mimicking neck phantoms containing hypodense lesions of 1 cm diameter and 30 HU contrast and one non-lesion phantom were examined with 36 CT protocols. All possible combinations of the following parameters were investigated: 100- and 120-kVp tube voltage; tube current modulation (TCM) noise levels of SD 7.5, 10, and 14; pitches of 0.637, 0.813, and 1.388; filtered back projection (FBP); and iterative reconstruction (AIDR 3D). Dose-length products (DLPs) and lesion detectability (assessed by 14 radiologists) were compared with the clinical standard protocol (120 kVp, TCM SD 7.5, 0.813 pitch, AIDR 3D). Results: The DLP of the standard protocol was 25 mGy•cm; the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.839 (95%CI: 0.790-0.888). Combined effects of tube voltage reduction to 100 kVp and TCM noise level increase to SD 10 optimized protocol performance by improving dose (7.3 mGy•cm) and detectability (AUC 0.884, 95%CI: 0.844-0.924). Diagnostic performance was significantly affected by the TCM noise level at 120 kVp (AUC 0.821 at TCM SD 7.5 vs. 0.776 at TCM SD 14, p = 0.003), but not at 100-kVp tube voltage (AUC 0.839 at TCM SD 7.5 vs. 0.819 at TCM SD 14, p = 0.354), the reconstruction method at 100 kVp (AUC 0.854 for AIDR 3D vs. 0.806 for FBP, p < 0.001), but not at 120-kVp tube voltage (AUC 0.795 for AIDR 3D vs. 0.793 for FBP, p = 0.822), and the tube voltage for AIDR 3D reconstruction (p < 0.001), but not for FBP (p = 0.226). Conclusions: Combined effects of 100-kVp tube voltage, TCM noise level of SD 10, a pitch of 0.813, and AIDR 3D resulted in an optimal neck protocol in terms of dose and diagnostic performance. Protocol parameters were subject to complex interactions, which created opportunities for protocol improvement. Key points: • A task-based approach using patient-mimicking phantoms was employed to optimize a CT system for neck imaging through systematic testing of protocol parameters. • Combined effects of 100-kVp tube voltage, TCM noise level of SD 10, a pitch of 0.813, and AIDR 3D reconstruction resulted in an optimal protocol in terms of dose and diagnostic performance. • Interactions of protocol parameters affect diagnostic performance and should be considered when optimizing CT techniques.

description: Though social equity is a critical part of sustainable development, local municipalities often focus more on environmental protection and economic prosperity than on equity when making land use decisions. The authors of this article examine land use decisions in Richland County, South Carolina that appeared to address growth pressures without taking equity issues into account. The authors also present a conceptual framework for addressing the tension between the three fundamental principles, and then conclude by discussing ways to apply this framework to help bridge the gap between smart growth and social equity.

description: Examining the general impact of the Controlled Languages rules in the context of Machine Translation has been an area of research for many years. The present study focuses on the following question: How do the Controlled Language (CL) rules impact the Machine Translation (MT) output individually? Analyzing a German corpus-based test suite of technical texts that have been translated into English by different MT systems, the study endeavors to answer this question at different levels: the general impact of CL rules (rule- and system-independent), their impact at rule level (system-independent), their impact at system level (rule-independent), and at rule and system level. The results of five MT systems (a rule-based system, a statistical system, two differently constructed hybrid systems, and a neural system) are analyzed and contrasted. For this, a mixed-methods triangulation approach that includes error annotation, human evaluation, and automatic evaluation was applied. The data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively based on the following parameters: number and type of MT errors, style and content quality, and scores from two automatic evaluation metrics. In line with many studies, the results show a general positive impact of the applied CL rules on the MT output. However, at rule level, only four rules proved to have positive effects on all parameters; three rules had negative effects on the parameters; and two rules did not show any significant impact. At rule and system level, the rules affected the MT systems differently, as expected. Some rules that had a positive impact on earlier MT approaches did not show the same impact on the neural MT approach. Furthermore, the neural MT delivered distinctly better results than earlier MT approaches, namely the highest error-free, style and content quality rates both before and after the rules application, which indicates that the neural MT offers a promising solution that no longer requires CL rules for improving the MT output, what in turn allows for a more natural style.

description: We analyze the role of ac-driven Rashba spin-orbit coupling in monolayer graphene including a spin-dependent mass term. Using the Magnus expansion as a semi-analytical approximation scheme a full account of the quasienergie spectrum of spin states is given. We discuss the subtleties arising in correctly applying the Magnus expansion technique in order to determine the quasienergy spectrum. Comparison to the exact numerical solution gives appropriate boundaries to the validity of the Magnus expansion solution.

Introduction to Case Studies

description: Before the mass production of private automobiles in the early 1900s, many cities throughout the southeastern United States maintained bustling urban centers with electric streetcars running along major corridors. North Carolina was no exception, with more than a dozen cities and towns across the state acquiring streetcars between 1886 and 1948. In the late 1890s alone, the state’s five largest cities at the time – Asheville (pop. 10,235), Winston and Salem (pop. 10,729 combined), Charlotte (pop. 11,557), Raleigh (pop. 12,678), and Wilmington (pop. 20,056) – were the first to implement streetcars. Thriving central business districts emerged as the primary locations for working, shopping, and entertainment during the early 1900s, with streetcars serving as an intricate part of the urban transportation fabric. The flight from urban centers to the urban fringe and suburbs that began during the years following World War II promoted auto-dominated neighborhood designs throughout many cities. This ultimately had a significant impact on our transportation infrastructure, urban form and development patterns as cities and towns expanded outward. Eventually, streetcars and much of the intercity passenger rail services were discontinued, and in some 30 NCAPA instances rail tracks were paved over to better accommodate various types of rubber tire motor vehicles. Since the adoption of the Federal Aid Highway Act in 1956, a majority of federal and state transportation funds have been devoted to highway planning and construction. This act facilitated the construction of the Eisenhower Interstate System, which today consists of nearly 47,000 miles of limited access freeways across the country. During the 1960s and 1970s, transportation planning was synonymous with highway planning, but today mobility enhancements are typically planned with multimodal transportation considerations in mind.
Towards more accurate clustering method by using dynamic time warping

description: An intrinsic problem of classifiers based on machine learning (ML) methods is that their learning time grows as the size and complexity of the training dataset increases. For this reason, it is important to have efficient computational methods and algorithms that can be applied on large datasets, such that it is still possible to complete the machine learning tasks in reasonable time. In this context, we present in this paper a more accurate simple process to speed up ML methods. An unsupervised clustering algorithm is combined with Expectation, Maximization (EM) algorithm to develop an efficient Hidden Markov Model (HMM) training. The idea of the proposed process consists of two steps. In the first step, training instances with similar inputs are clustered and a weight factor which represents the frequency of these instances is assigned to each representative cluster. Dynamic Time Warping technique is used as a dissimilarity function to cluster similar examples. In the second step, all formulas in the classical HMM training algorithm (EM) associated with the number of training instances are modified to include the weight factor in appropriate terms. This process significantly accelerates HMM training while maintaining the same initial, transition and emission probabilities matrixes as those obtained with the classical HMM training algorithm. Accordingly, the classification accuracy is preserved. Depending on the size of the training set, speedups of up to 2200 times is possible when the size is about 100.000 instances. The proposed approach is not limited to training HMMs, but it can be employed for a large variety of MLs methods.

Manufactured Housing Zoning: Constitutional Limitations and Recent Trends

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: Nearly twenty years ago Justice Brennan penned the line "if a policeman must know the Constitution, then why not a planner?" Most planners have at least a passing notion of takings law and the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prevents the taking of private property for public use without just compensation. Constitutional limitations on zoning, though, can go far beyond the Fifth Amendment. Over the past several years two Constitutional doctrines which might seem esoteric to most non-attorneys, have been used with varying degrees of success in challenging zoning ordinances which discriminate against manufactured housing, preemption and the dormant Commerce Clause. The purpose of this article is twofold: first, to explain the two doctrines and review recent federal court cases from the last three years in which they were raised and second, to briefly divine from those cases some practical advice for planners and other local government decision makers.

description: An effective action for Bose-Hubbard model with two- and three-body on-site interaction in a square optical lattice is derived in the frame of a strong-coupling approach developed by Sengupta and Dupuis. From this effective action, superfluid-Mott insulator (MI) phase transition, excitation spectrum and momentum distribution for two phases are calculated by taking into account Gaussian fluctuation about the saddle-point approximation. In addition the effects of three-body interaction are also discussed.
