description: Based on the ab initio calculations, we show that MoTe2, in its low-temperature orthorhombic structure characterized by an X-ray diffraction study at 100 K, realizes 4 type-II Weyl points between the N-th and N+1-th bands, where N is the total number of valence electrons per unit cell. Other WPs and nodal lines between different other bands also appear close to the Fermi level due to a complex topological band structure. We predict a series of strain-driven topological phase transitions in this compound, opening a wide range of possible experimental realizations of different topological semimetal phases. Crucially, with no strain, the number of observable surface Fermi arcs in this material is 2 - the smallest number of arcs consistent with time-reversal symmetry.

Technical Assistance for Small Quantity Generators of Hazardous Wastes: Building the Local Government's Role
Creators: name: Verderese, James A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: Small quantity generators of hazardous waste are primarily small businesses with little previous exposure to hazardous waste regulations. In order for these businesses to comply with the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 they will require technical assistance. It is in the best interest of local governments to be involved with supplying this assistance. Eight model technical assistance programs were identified. Based upon these model programs, four essential elements of a technical assistance program (TAP) were derived. These mechanisms include: information transfer, on-site evaluation, referral, and continuing education. In designing a TAP, a local government needs to evaluate its needs and its abilities and then balance the four mechanisms so the local government provides a useful and efficient program that is well received by its constituents. Resources available to local governments for a TAP will vary. Five potential resources were discussed. In designing and maintaining a local TAP it is Important to bear in mind the limits and constraints upon local governments and to foster an attitude of cooperation and interdependence with other relevant federal, state, local, and private programs.

Geometry-induced modification of fluctuation spectrum in quasi-two-dimensional condensates

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report the structural transformation of the low-lying spectral modes, especially the Kohn mode, from radial to circular topology as harmonic confining potential is modified to a toroidal one, and this corresponds to a transition from simply to multiply connected geometry. For this we employ the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory to examine the evolution of low energy quasiparticles. We, then, use the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with the Popov approximation to demonstrate the two striking features of quantum and thermal fluctuations. At $T=0$, the non-condensate density due to interaction induced quantum fluctuations increases with the transformation from pancake to toroidal geometry. The other feature is, there is a marked change in the density profile of the non-condensate density at finite temperatures with the modification of trapping potential. In particular, the condensate and non-condensate density distributions have overlapping maxima in the toroidal condensate, which is in stark contrast to the case of pancake geometry. The genesis of this difference lies in the nature of the thermal fluctuations.

The Relationship Between Breathing Zone Concentration and Capture Efficiency
Creators: name: Shelton, William Keith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: Industrial hygienists attempt to protect workers from occupational health stresses using three well-known methods: recognition, evaluation, and control. If an occupational health hazard has already been identified (eg. air sampling for a given chemical) and quantified, the industrial hygienist's attention necessarily shifts to controlling the worker's exposure to that hazard. Methods of controlling worker exposure to physical or chemical health hazards include engineering and administrative controls, and personal protective equipment. Engineering controls remove the responsibility for protection against health hazards from the worker by physically changing the process which generates the hazard. Examples of such types of control include isolation of the process, substitution of hazardous process chemicals, automation (eg. robotics), ventilation, or elimination of the process entirely. Engineering controls are mandated by law and must be used when feasible.Administrative controls, on the other hand, attempt to limit the worker's exposure to a given health hazard by decreasing the time of exposure (eg. rotating shifts) or changing work practices. Education, training and supervision can also be thought of as types of administrative controls. Finally, personal protective equipment (ppe) is the least desirable method of controlling worker exposures. If ppe is chosen as a method of control, the worker assumes most of the responsibility for his/her own protection (eg. proper wear of a respirator or hearing protection).

A Landscape-Level Analysis of Physical, Chemical, and Biological Characteristics of 41 Arctic Lakes Near Toolik Lake, Alaska, U.S.A.
Creators: name: Chalfant, Brian A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: Complex relationships among landscape features, lake geomorphology, lake water chemistry, and trophic structure determine productivity in many aquatic ecosystems. A more complete understanding of interactions between watershed and lake characteristics will be necessary to accurately predict the response of these ecosystems, particularly sensitive high latitude lake ecosystems, to future climatic conditions and to develop informed management strategies to minimize the impact of increasing recreational use. Regionalized landscape-level studies, such as this study of 41 arctic Alaskan lakes, reveal present, baseline relationships of in landwater bodies. These studies provide a framework for regionalization and a mechanism to compare lakes across the landscape, allowing better predictions and data management decisions. The relationships of landscape-level variables to present-day lake physical, chemical, and biological characteristics yield a powerful historical view of the limnological legacy of glacial land formation processes.

Evaluation of the Hazardous Waste Facility Inspection Program in North Carolina
Creators: name: Hackney, John H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), an amendment to the Solid Waste Disposal Act, was enacted in 1976 to address waste disposal practices and existing disposal sites. Subtitle C of RCRA provides a regulatory framework for the safe management of hazardous waste from initial production to ultimate disposal. Hazardous waste facility inspections are the primary means by which EPA, or states authorized by EPA to administer the RCRA program, assure themselves that RCRA regulatory requirements are being met. The purpose of the current investigation was to assess the effectiveness of RCRA inspections; the types of statutory and regulatory violations identified in these inspections; the types of waste being managed; and the general quality of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal in North Carolina. There were fourteen (14) facilities permitted to treat and store hazardous waste in N.C. as of September 1991. However, only nine (9) of these facilities actually treated waste on-site for the years 1987-1990. Ninety percent or more of all hazardous waste generated in the U.S. and in North Carolina is treated by the generator on-site. Together, the nine N.C. permitted hazardous waste facilities generated an average of 1,069 million pounds of hazardous waste each year during the period 1987-1990. During this same time period they treated an average of 946 million pounds each year. From 1981-1992 there were 252 inspections conducted at the nine permitted hazardous waste facilities. There were 140 violations identified as a result of the inspections, forty-eight (48) of which were waste handling violations. However, only twenty-three (23) of the waste handling violations involved the actual treatment or storage of hazardous waste. Twenty-three waste handling violations identified at the nine facilities over an eleven year period indicates a high quality of hazardous waste treatment in N.C. when the amounts of hazardous waste being treated and stored on-site are considered.

On such a flow the scattering of incident long wavelength modes is analogous to that responsible for black hole radiation (the Hawking effect). Our measurements of the noise show a clear correlation between pairs of modes of opposite energies. We also measure the scattering coefficients by applying the same analysis of correlations to waves produced by a wave maker.

Indentification of the Metabolites of 3-Nitrofluoranthene and 2-Nitrofluoranthene Formed by Samonella Typhimurium Strains TA98, TA98 ND, and TA98/1, 8-DNP6
Creators: name: Stocking, Lisa M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: 3-Nitrofluoranthene (3-NFA) and 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NFA) are environmental pollutants produced during combustion processes, proven to be mutagenic in bacterial assays and potentially carcinogenic in mammalian species. 3-NFA was incubated with Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 and its variants TA98 ND and TA98/1,8-DNP6, deficient in nitroreductase and transacetylase enzymes respectively. All three strains produced equal amounts of the reductive metabolite 3-aminofluoranthene (3-AFA) over six hours of incubation. The nitroreductase deficient strain TA98 ND produced the metabolite at a slower initial rate of conversion than the nitroreductase proficient TA98 and TA98/1,8-DNP6. 2-NFA incubated with TA98 and TA98 ND produced two identifiable metabolites 2-aminofluoranthene (2-AFA), and N-acetyl-2-aminofluoranthene (2-NAAFA) within 24 hours of incubation. The production of metabolites by TA98 ND was significantly slower than that of TA98. TA98/1,8-DNP5 produced only 2-AFA at slower rates than TA98. The metabolism of 2-NFA by the Salmonella strains progressed at slower rates than that of 3-NFA. This reflects the difference observed in the mutagenicity of these compounds as measured by the Ames assay (3-NFA highly mutagenic, 2-NFA slightly to moderately mutagenic).

An Evaluation of Worker Exposure to Formaldehyde in a Histology/Necropsy lab: An IH investigation
Creators: name: Wiggins, Jacopo J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: It has been widely debated whether or not formaldehyde (CH2O) causes cancer in humans, and what concentrations are considered to be safe. Because formaldehyde is present in the outdoor environment and used frequently in industry, it's relevance as a potential human carcinogen should not be overlooked. Proper ventilation is essential in reducing formaldehyde exposure in the workplace and in homes that are suspected to contain formaldehyde releasing products. This study was conducted within a histology necropsy laboratory at a research facility in Research Triangle Park, NC. The main focus was to evaluate the local exhaust ventilation (LEV) (workstations1-6) systems to determine how effective it was at eliminating worker exposure to formaldehyde during necropsy. Personal air monitoring was also conducted during animal necropsies to determine whether histopathology technicians were being exposed to significant levels of formaldehyde, through the use of formalin. We concluded that formaldehyde concentrations during necropsy did not exceed The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, but did exceed recommended guidelines set forth by The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). We also found that formaldehyde exposures were higher at the hood of workstation 4, which had the lowest measured velocities.

The metric formalism is used and static spherically symmetric spacetimes are assumed. The resulting $f(R)$ and nonlinear electrodynamics functions are characterized by a one-parameter family of solutions which are generalizations of known regular black holes in general relativity coupled to nonlinear electrodynamics. The related regular black holes of general relativity are recovered when the free parameter vanishes, in which case one has $f(R)\propto R$. We analyze the regularity of the solutions and also show that there are particular solutions that violate only the strong energy condition

Nicholas Cook. Music, lmagination, and Culture. Oxford: Oxford University Press / Clarendon Press, 1990.265 pp.
Creators: Kramer, Lawrence
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1992
Subjects: Music

description: Cook's topic is the relationship between musical experience-specifically the experience of Western art music since the mid-eighteenth century- and musicological discourse. His starting point is the fact that many people who know little or nothing about this music nonetheless take intense pleasure in it. He cites empirical studies suggesting that what might be called the listener's working ignorance of the music is no hindrance to such pleasure, and that working knowledge is no help. For many listeners, formal elements as simple as literal repetition and tonal closure go unrecognized, leaving dim hope for the recognition of large-scale tonal relations and complex structures like sonata form. Even musically knowledgeable listeners, one study suggests, tend to listen knowledgeably only when they have some explicit reason to do so. Music, Imagination, and Culture is an intelligent and meticulously argued book. Ironically, given its argument, it is at its best in discussing esoteric matters like fingering and- notation; Kant's joke casts a long shadow. But taken as a whole, the book is,or should be, a source of consternation. It sets itself squarely against the malaise that increasingly bedevils the culture of Western art music, but is itself a symptom of that malaise. To paraphrase Karl Kraus's famous wisecrack about psychoanalysis, this book is the sickness of which it believes itself to be the cure.

Subjects: Music

description: In 1904 Erich M. von Hornbostel and Otto Abraham published an article entitled "On the Significance of the Phonograph for Comparative Musicology" in the Zeitschrift fur Ethnologie, thereby formally establishing the connection between technologies of sound recording and reproduction, and their field of academic inquiry, then known as comparative musicology. Since then, both domains have developed significantly. In the United States comparative musicology became ethnomusicology in the 1950s, while in the realm of musical technologies, the primary function of the phonograph shifted from recording to playback and, more recently, to performance. A second important technological shift for musicians and musicologists alike was the spread of audiomagnetic tape recorders in the 1950s and 1960s, a development that has more recently led to the mass marketing of technologies such as digital audio tape (DAT) and record- able compact disc (CD-R). This article explains why Any Sound You Can Imagine should be part of the library of anyone who is concerned with the state of music and music making at the end of this century.

The agents involved in these outbreaks can be bacterial, viral or protozoan. Since these agents vary in many characteristic, including size, each type of organism has traditionally required a different concentration technique for recovery from environmental samples. The use of a single primary concentration technique would simplify recovery and greatly reduce time and costs of water monitoring. In addition, there is a particular need for alternative technologies for concentrating Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts from water because the current method is labor intensive and unreliable. Therefore, we evaluated a small, inexpensive disposable dialysis ultrafilter for the simultaneous recovery of viruses, bacteria and protozoans from spiked water samples. A 10-50L sample of raw source water or treated drinking water was seeded with Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, E. coli and MS-2 coliphage at both high and low inputs. The seeded sample was passed through the filter using a peristaltic pump. When the retentate volume containing the organisms was <250ml, the system was washed with 250 ml of eluant. The sample was then centrifuged to pellet the oocysts and bacteria and the pellet was resuspended in a small volume of phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4. In the low input experiments, oocysts were further purified using cesium chloride floatation. The number of oocysts recovered was determined by microscopic counting using a hemocytometer after immunofluorescent staining or by using a modified slide well technique. Bacteria were enumerated using the membrane filtration technique. The coliphage were assayed from the primary supernatant using a double agar layer technique. The total time to complete the procedure was less than 8 hours. At high inputs, the recoveries of oocysts, bacteria and viruses were approximately 50%, 35% and 55% respectively. At low inputs, the recovery efficiencies for the organisms were similar: 48%, 19% and 49%, respectively. However, recovery of the oocysts required a correction for losses during secondary processing. The results of this study show that hollow fiber ultrafiltration is a unified primary concentration step for all microorganisms and that this procedure is superior to the currently used method for recovery of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts.

description: This paper addresses the problem of extracting periodic oscillatory features in vibration sig- nals for detecting faults in rotating machinery. To extract the feature, we propose an approach in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain where the periodic oscillatory feature man- ifests itself as a relatively sparse grid. To estimate the sparse grid, we formulate an optimization problem using customized binary weights in the regularizer, where the weights are formulated to promote periodicity. In order to solve the proposed optimization problem, we develop an algorithm called augmented Lagrangian majorization-minimization algorithm, which combines the split augmented Lagrangian shrinkage algorithm (SALSA) with majorization-minimization (MM), and is guaranteed to converge for both convex and non-convex formulation. As examples, the proposed approach is applied to simulated data, and used as a tool for diagnosing faults in bearings and gearboxes for real data, and compared to some state-of-the-art methods. The results show the proposed approach can effectively detect and extract the periodical oscillatory features.

description: Our understanding of the Milky Way’s formation history can be refined by analyzing the information encoded in its oldest stellar populations, typically their chemical composition and orbital motion. Having access to such properties is valuable to depict a larger picture of the earliest stages of galactic formation. With the rise of Gaia, an orbital characterization of the different components of our Galaxy has been built over the years, leading to the discovery of various substructures questioning the formation processes at stake.
 In that context, following previous work (Fernández-Alvar et al. 2021), we studied the presence of a metal-poor extension of the thin disc, using photometric metallicities from the Pristine survey (Starkenburg et al. 2017). Combining Gaia astrometry with Pristine photometry, we recovered two stellar populations at -2 < [Fe/H] < -1.5 : one slow-rotating (halo-like) and one fast-rotating (thin disc-like) in the MW anticentre using Gaussian mixture models coupled with a Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo approach. We pursued our investigation with the upcoming Pristine-Gaia-synthetic catalog (Martin et al. 2023, in prep.), which gathers 1.7 million metal-poor stars with metallicities inferred from BP/RP spectrophotometry.
 Our aim is to make use of this statistically significant catalog to characterize the kinematic behavior of the metal-poor MW population in a larger field of view. In this talk, I will present some preliminary results investigating the rotating metal-poor Milky Way using 3D kinematics of this all-sky sample.
The Role of Maternal Variation in the Assessment of Developmental Toxicity

description: Intraspecies variability is an important component in evaluating public health risks. In developmental toxicity studies, such variation may occur among litters within a treatment group. This study examined the degree of similarity across three breedings of female mice (CD-1) with respect to their responses to two known developmental toxicants. Each female was mated to the same male (CD-1) and exposed to the same dosing regimen during each pregnancy. Litters were evaluated for postnatal viability and growth. The known murine teratogens dinocap and all-trans retinoic acid were chosen because of the existence of adequate historical data on these compounds. Two doses of each chemical were chosen to produce marginal or severe developmental toxicity. Five treatment groups (22-29 animals per group) were dosed by gastric intubation as follows: control (corn oil, gestation days 10 through 13); dinocap (20 or 40 mg/kg/day in corn oil, gestation days 10 through 13); and all-trans retinoic acid (10 or 20 mg/kg/day in corn oil, gestation days 11 through 13). Litters were examined on postnatal days 1 and 3 for viability, evidence of developmental toxicity, and growth (body weight). Gross abnormalities observed included abdominal ballooning in the high dose litters and limb defects in the all-trans retinoic acid treated animals. Intergroup differences were assessed using the multiple t-test of least square means. A rank test of independence was performed to assess whether or not a given dam's response was consistent across litters and intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to assess between versus within dam variability. These analyses indicated that maternal variability contributed to interlitter difference in untreated CD-1 mice, in many cases up to 40 percent. Treatment with either of two known development toxicants, however, decreased the role that maternal variability played with respect to interlitter differences, frequently dropping by greater than 50 percent.

description: Higher brain function relies upon the ability to flexibly integrate information across specialized communities of brain regions, however it is unclear how this mechanism manifests over time. In this study, we use time-resolved network analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data to demonstrate that the human brain traverses between two functional states that maximize either segregation into tight-knit communities or integration across otherwise disparate neural regions. The integrated state enables faster and more accurate performance on a cognitive task, and is associated with dilations in pupil diameter, suggesting that ascending neuromodulatory systems may govern the transition between these alternative modes of brain function. Our data confirm a direct link between cognitive performance and the dynamic reorganization of the network structure of the brain.
