Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE)
Creators: name: Gardiner, Karen

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022

description: Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) is a 10-year evaluation of nine promising career pathways strategies that aim to increase employment and self-sufficiency among low-income, low-skilled adults and youth. The study, funded by the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the first rigorous evaluation of career pathways strategies nationwide. PACE utilizes an experimental study design to assess the impact of the nine programs on educational attainment, employment and earnings, and other outcomes. Eligible applicants at each of the nine programs are assigned at random to either a treatment group that can access program services or a control group that cannot, but that can access other services in the community. Random assignment ensures that the characteristics of the two groups have no systematic differences at baseline and thus makes it possible to estimate impacts without bias by comparing average outcomes for treatment and control group members over time. PACE includes an implementation study that will describe and document the design and operations of each of the nine PACE programs. The implementation study also provides contextual information for understanding and interpreting the impact estimates and findings on implementation experiences can guide future program designs and implementations. The impact study will measure differences between the treatment and control group members on educational outcomes (e.g., persistence in education, receipt of certificates and degrees) and employment- and earnings-related outcomes. The PACE team will analyze and report findings for each program separately. The rationale for separate studies is that, although all nine programs utilize basic building blocks in career pathways, they vary on a substantial number of fundamental design features, including eligibility criteria and target populations; services provided; goals for participants; and timeframes for expecting goals to be achieved. The PACE impact reports will cover 15 months of follow-up after the point of random assignment.
The mutually normalizing regular subgroups of the holomorph of a cyclic group of prime power order
Creators: name: Spaggiari, Filippo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Group Theory (math.GR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $G=C_{p^n}$ be a finite cyclic p-group, and let $Hol(G)$ denote its holomorph. In this work, we find and characterize the regular subgroups of $Hol(G)$ that are mutually normalizing each other in the permutation group $Sym(G)$. We represent such regular subgroups as vertices of a graph, and we connect a pair of them by an edge when they mutually normalize each other. The approach to construct this local normalizing graph relies on the theory of gamma functions, and the final result will contain all the information about the regular subgroups of $Hol(G)$ in a compact form.
Growth Management for Barrier Island Communities: A Comparative Evaluation
Creators: name: Harbeck, Glenn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1978

description: This article examines two barrier island communities of the southeastern United States experiencing similar development pressures but employing contrasting local management strategies for controlling growth. The formulation of the ecologically supported carrying capacity plan of the city of Sanibel, Florida, is compared to the more traditional land use plan development approach taken by the town of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Each municipality's plan implementation and regulatory mechanisms are then evaluated on their ability to translate the objectives set forth in their land use plans into reality on the ground, in doing so, consideration is given to the manpower and funding levels of each community's technical consultants, the local political climate within which each plan was developed, and the arena of state enabling legislation within which each plan performs.

description: Time is a fundamental factor during stroke treatments. A fast, automatic approach that segments the ischemic regions helps treatment decisions. In clinical use today, a set of color-coded parametric maps generated from computed tomography perfusion (CTP) images are investigated manually to decide a treatment plan. We propose an automatic method based on a neural network using a set of parametric maps to segment the two ischemic regions (core and penumbra) in patients affected by acute ischemic stroke. Our model is based on a convolution-deconvolution bottleneck structure with multi-input and slow fusion. A loss function based on the focal Tversky index addresses the data imbalance issue. The proposed architecture demonstrates effective performance and results comparable to the ground truth annotated by neuroradiologists. A Dice coefficient of 0.81 for penumbra and 0.52 for core over the large vessel occlusion test set is achieved. The full implementation is available at: https://git.io/JtFGb.

description: Book reviews of the following: CIVIL RIGHTS: RHETORIC OR REALITY; THE STATE AGAINST BLACKS: Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality? by Thomas Sowell and The State Against Blacks by Walter Williams have very little, if anything, to do with planning. Yet, the implications they have for planners and the planning profession are staggering. Drs. Sowell and Williams, both conservative black economists, have directly challenged the major themes that have long guided urban and civil rights policy, as well as the responses of planners and others to those policies. In the process, the two authors have succinctly turned the conventional wisdoms of the liberal welfare state on its head. HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IN THE USSR: Many American planners are unfamiliar with the profession's practice outside the continent. What problems do planners in the United States share with planners elsewhere? How important is governmental structure in dictating the planners role? Are the same trends in planning shared by other industrialized nations? How are other governments dealing with these trends? Gregory D. Andrusz' thorough account of housing and urban development in the Soviet Union is a proper starting place for those interested in such international planning questions.

description: Book reviews of the following: THE REGIONAL CITY: PLANNING FOR THE END OF SPRAWL: With over 60 years combined planning experience in both the public and private sectors, urban designer Peter Calthorpe and researcher/author William Fulton bring together a stunning array of knowledge regarding urban planning and practice. At the heart of their argument lies the city, but their central focus pertains to the region as a whole—a complex but coherent economic system including labor pools, networks, transportation and land-use patterns that drive today’s global economy. The goal: connect these broad relationships with a regional vision undergirded by human-scaled design and policies. Only at this scale, the authors claim, will effective policies and planning produce the greatest change.; ECOVILLAGE AT ITHACA: PIONEERING A SUSTAINABLE CULTURE: This accessible book by Liz Walker tells the story of the decades-long journey to imagine, create, fund, sustain, and manage a low-impact, highly connected community. EVI, as it’s called, is one of the earliest and best known communities in the worldwide eco-village movement. Begun in the early 1990s by visionary Joan Bokaer and by Walker herself, the story of EVI is told by Walker with a mix of factual explanation, descriptive stories, and personal reflections.

description: This volume constitutes the proceedings of WoF'15, the First International Workshop on Focusing, held on November 23rd, 2015 in Suva, Fiji. The workshop was a half-day satellite event of LPAR-20, the 20th International Conferences on Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence and Reasoning. The program committee selected four papers for presentation at WoF'15, and inclusion in this volume. In addition, the program included an invited talk by Elaine Pimentel. Focusing is a proof search strategy that alternates two phases: an inversion phase where invertible sequent rules are applied exhaustively and a chaining phase where it selects a formula and decomposes it maximally using non-invertible rules. Focusing is one of the most exciting recent developments in computational logic: it is complete for many logics of interest and provides a foundation for their use as programming languages and rewriting calculi.
Book Review: Thirteen Perspectives on Regulatory Simplification, ULI Research Report #29
Creators: name: Kaiser, Edward J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1980

description: If expanding state and local initiatives in growth management constituted the so-called silent revolution of the early 1970s, the second half of the decade has sprouted a quickening, contrasting revolution of regulatory "simplification." More positive and broader than mere regulatory backlash to the earlier environmental and growth management inventiveness, however, this new movement can even be seen as an extension of that preceding movement, endeavoring now to improve efficiency of development guidance systems while at the same time maintaining or even increasing effectiveness. In its most responsible definition, the new phase of reform also continues to aim at improving fairness in our regulatory system. Thus, while not at odds with the philosophy of "less is more," the current regulatory reform movement, as discussed in this book, clearly is something more than "less regulation." Thirteen Perspectives on Regulatory Simplification is a small softcover book that grew out of a 1978 Urban Land Institute seminar on regulatory reform.

description: Crystals of superconducting Mo$_{8}$Ga$_{41}$ ($T_{\text{c}}=9.8$ K) and Mo$_{\text{8-x}}$V$_{\text{x}}$Ga$_{41}$ limited solid solution $(x_{\text{max}}=1.9(2))$ have been grown from the high-temperature Ga flux and confirmed to have the V$_{8}$Ga$_{41}$ type of crystal structure at room temperature. Thermodynamic and transport measurements as well as electronic structure calculations were performed to investigate both normal- and superconducting-state properties of Mo$_{8}$Ga$_{41}$. The discontinuity in the heat capacity at $T_{\text{c}}$, $Δc_{\text{p}}/γ_{\text{N}}T_{\text{c}}=2.83$ in zero magnetic field, indicates a much stronger electron-phonon coupling than in the standard BCS limit. From the heat capacity data, we estimated the electron-phonon coupling constant $λ_{\text{ep}}=0.9$. The upper critical field is $μ_{0}H_{\text{c2}}(0)=8.3$ T, while the lower one is only $μ_{0}H_{\text{c1}}(0)=131$ Oe. The upper critical field of Mo$_{8}$Ga$_{41}$ exhibits a clear enhancement with respect to the Werthamer-Helfand-Honenberg prediction, consistent with the strong electron-phonon coupling. The Mo$_{\text{8-x}}$V$_{\text{x}}$Ga$_{41}$ limited solid solution also exhibits superconducting properties, and the critical temperature $T_{\text{c}}$ is reduced only slightly with increasing $x$.

description: In Philadelphia, like many other industrial cities, the question of how to successfully redevelop contaminated land is one of the most crucial issues facing urban areas. Most strategies tend to favor the economic side of the redevelopment equation over ecological and social concerns. This excerpt from a research project investigates both these strategies by exploring possible scenarios for the redevelopment of brownfields corridors using an Alternative Futures methodology. Ford’s research, which was awarded joint honors for the Best Master’s Project of the year, was funded by the Dangermond Fellowship, a program administered by the Landscape Architecture Foundation with support from the American Society for Landscape Architects and ESRI to fund landscape architecture students incorporating GIS into yearlong reserch projects.

Two-gluon and trigluon glueballs from dynamical holography QCD
Creators: name: Chen, Yidian

Year: 2015

description: We study the scalar, vector and tensor two-gluon and trigluon glueball spectra in the framework of 5-dimension dynamical holographic QCD model, where the metric structure is deformed self-consistently by the dilaton field. For comparison, the glueball spectra are also calculated in the hard-wall and soft-wall holographic QCD models. In order to distinguish glueballs with even and odd parities, we introduce the positive and negative coupling between the dilaton field and glueballs, and for higher spin glueballs, we introduce a deformed 5-dimension mass. With this set-up, there is only one free parameter from the quadratic dilaton profile in the dynamical holographic QCD model, which is fixed by the scalar glueball spectra. It is found that the two-gluon glueball spectra produced in the dynamical holographic QCD model are in good agreement with lattice data. Among six trigluon glueballs, the produced masses for $1^{\pm -}$ and $2^{--}$ are in good agreement with lattice data, and the produced masses for $0^{--}$, $0^{+-}$ and $2^{+-}$ are around 1.5 {\rm GeV} lighter than lattice results. This result might indicate that the three trigluon glueballs of $0^{--}$, $0^{+-}$ and $2^{+-}$ are dominated by three-gluon condensate contribution.
Protecting Water Supply Watersheds in North Carolina: The Rules and Their Impacts

description: North Carolina's Water Supply Watershed Classification and Protection Act of 1989 grew directly out of legislation contemplated in 1987 to provide protection for Raleigh's water supply, Falls of the Neuse Reservoir. The Falls' watershed lies in the jurisdictions of six counties and two major municipalities, Durham and Raleigh. Long-standing concern about the potential for pollution of Falls; failure of long-running negotiations among and within the jurisdictions to produce satisfactory local ordinances to protect the Falls watershed; and, finally, development of Treyburn in the headwaters of the reservoir in Durham County motivated Avery Upchurch, Mayor of Raleigh, to request the legislative delegation from Wake County to introduce legislation in the General Assembly to protect the Falls watershed. In April 1987, Aaron E. Fussell, a member of the Wake county legislative delegation, submitted a draft "Watershed Protection Act." It would have required all local governments in the watersheds of nutrient- sensitive reservoirs used for public water supply to enact watershed protection plans. Because Jordan Reservoir was not then used for public water supply, the only nutrient-sensitive public water supply reservoir in the state was Falls of the Neuse.

description: Buchdahl sphere, the limiting stable isotropic stellar structure without exotic matter, plays a very important role in our understanding of how compact an astrophysical object can be. Here, we show certain universal properties associated with the Buchdahl sphere, in the sense that these properties will not change with the inclusion of electric charge in the stellar structure, or, will hold good in the pure Lovelock theories of gravity as well. Using these universalities, we have proposed a Buchdahl limit for a slowly-rotating stellar configuration, for the first time. Finally, the universality of the Buchdahl sphere in terms of the gravitational and non-gravitational field energies, as well as for the photon sphere have also been discussed.

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: We present an algorithm for graph based saliency computation that utilizes the underlying dense subgraphs in finding visually salient regions in an image. To compute the salient regions, the model first obtains a saliency map using random walks on a Markov chain. Next, k-dense subgraphs are detected to further enhance the salient regions in the image. Dense subgraphs convey more information about local graph structure than simple centrality measures. To generate the Markov chain, intensity and color features of an image in addition to region compactness is used. For evaluating the proposed model, we do extensive experiments on benchmark image data sets. The proposed method performs comparable to well-known algorithms in salient region detection.

description: We construct a physics-agnostic approach to the neutron star (NS) equation of state (EoS) based on a sound speed model, which connects both low-density information from nuclear theory and high-density constraints from perturbative QCD (pQCD). Using this approach, we study the impact of pQCD calculations on NS EoS that have been constrained by astrophysical observations. We find that pQCD affects the EoS mainly beyond the densities realized in NS. Furthermore, we observe an interesting interplay between pQCD and astrophysical constraints, with pQCD preferring softer EoS for the heaviest NS while recent NICER observations suggest the EoS to be stiffer. We explore the sensitivity of our findings to pQCD uncertainties and study the constraining power of pQCD if future observations of heavy NS were to suggest radii larger than 13 km.

A Bioeconomic Framework for Economic Development

description: The basic objectives of Chambers of Commerce and community development organizations can be traced to a single basic theme: every locality wants to get its fair share of economic growth. In the United States it is largely taken for granted that growth is the normal state of affairs. Politicians are elected with a mandate to stimulate and sustain growth. Economists try to explain and predict it. Businesses invest in growth through purchases of capital and more productive technology. Planners work to attract the types of growth needed and desired by their jurisdictions. And citizens do their part through procreation and increasing per capita consumption of goods and services.

Reprint of article: A Thought for a Growing South by Lewis Mumford, with Commentary by David R. Godschalk
Creators: name: Godschalk, David R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: With so much attention focused on planning for the "new South," the sense of a historical perspective is often lost. Carolina Planning is grateful to two of our readers for bringing the following article by Lewis Mumford to our attention, suggesting that after forty years it "may still be worth reading." Mumford, best known for his pioneering works such as The Culture of Cities (1938), wrote "A Thought for the Growing South" in 1949 after spending a year teaching in North Carolina universities. The article was commissioned by George Myers Stephens, publisher of The Southern Packet (who was also the father of two graduates of the Department of City and Regional Planning at UNC-Chapel Hill). We reprint the article here with great pleasure, along with commentary by DCRP professor David R. Godschalk, who explores the relevance of Mumford 's thoughts to the state of the "growing South" of today. We hope that renewed examination of this piece will be thought-provoking to current planning students and practitioners, now in a position to guide the course of development in our region.

In this paper we show that these tasks can be performed in polynomial time, solving a long-standing open problem in this area. Our algorithms are effective and easily implementable. As we show in experiments, these breakthroughs make thought-to-be-infeasible strategies in active learning of causal structures and causal effect identification with regard to a Markov equivalence class practically applicable.

description: Recently found positive representation for an arbitrary complex, gaussian weight is used to construct a statistical formulation of gaussian path integrals directly in the Minkowski time. The positivity of Minkowski weights is achieved by doubling the number of real variables. The continuum limit of the new representation exists only if some of the additional couplings tend to infinity and are tuned in a specific way. The construction is then successfully applied to three quantum mechanical examples including a particle in a constant magnetic field -- a simplest prototype of a Wilson line. Further generalizations are shortly discussed and an intriguing interpretation of new variables is alluded to.

Homeostatic Fluctuations of a Tissue Surface

description: We study the surface fluctuations of a tissue with a dynamics dictated by cell-rearrangement, cell-division, and cell-death processes. Surface fluctuations are calculated in the homeostatic state, where cell division and cell death equilibrate on average. The obtained fluctuation spectrum can be mapped onto several other spectra such as those characterizing incompressible fluids, compressible Maxwell elastomers, or permeable membranes in appropriate asymptotic regimes. Since cell division and cell death are out-of-equilibrium processes, detailed balance is broken, but a generalized fluctuation-response relation is satisfied in terms of appropriate observables. Our work is a first step toward the description of the out-of-equilibrium fluctuations of the surface of a thick epithelium and its dynamical response to external perturbations.

Book Review: The Option of Urbanism
Creators: name: Skena, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Christopher Leinberger’s The Option of Urbanism: Investing in a New American Dream is an eminently readable account of the re-emergence of “walkable urbanism” as an alternative to the dominant “drivable sub-urbanism” of late-20th-century America. Combining pop culture references, urban form history, and recent research, Leinberger entertains as he leads a general audience of readers through the possibilities and difficulties presented by this new version of the American dream. Although architects and historians such as Andrés Duany, Peter Calthorpe, and Kenneth Jackson have covered the subject in popular and broadly read books, Leinberger’s background as both a real estate scholar and a developer of mixed-use projects allows him to address this issue from a unique and relevant perspective. Planners, developers, and all those interested in sustainable real estate development will find this book an engaging and valuable addition to their library.
Urban Land Use Policy in an Era of Constraints
Creators: name: Chapin, F. Stuart, Jr.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1978

description: These are times of widespread interest in "land use." But as land use has gained currency, it has come to mean different things to different interest groups. To some, it has to do with national resource use—the use of land for agriculture, grazing, forestry, extraction, or wildlife sanctuaries. To others, it has to do with use of state resources—the seacoast, lake country, mountains, or other areas of critical environmental concern. And to still others, it refers to land development in the urban scene for industrial, business, residential, or other uses. There are both positive and negative associations with land use. To many, land use is a tangible reflection of economic vitality and strength; to others, it means problems or destructive tendencies in man's activities. One common denominator to these different perspectives is the interface between growth and finite resources—the need to come to terms with environmental overloads, energy resource shortages, and other resource problems that may adversely affect the economy and the well-being of millions of households. The seventies will undoubtedly be marked as a watershed, a time when Americans came to realize that many finite resources long taken for granted were after all limited, many of them nonrenewable or irreversibly damageable. In this essay, I shall be less concerned with this precarious balance as a problem than with governmental responses to this problem and how these impact on land use policies of local governments. Let me begin with the initiatives of the federal government and work downward to the local level.
Understanding "effective resource management" to support evidence informed policymaking
Creators: name: Shaxson, Louise
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: This critical review is part of a doctoral thesis by publication which studies how evidence-informed policymaking is practiced inside government departments. Previous research indicates that these practices involve negotiating three normative positions around evidence: fidelity to science, policy legitimacy, and effective resource management. The first two positions are well documented in the academic literature but not the third. The aim of this review is therefore to address the question: how can we understand the effectiveness of the different ways policymakers manage the resources available to them in support of evidence informed policymaking? It will do this through a critical review of the literature, focusing on empirical studies of resource management by civil servants in central government departments in the UK and several other countries with comparable government bureaucracies (Australia, the USA, Canada, New Zealand and northern European countries). The review will be carried out between February and April 2022 and will be submitted for publication as a journal article by the end of June 2022.

description: Tangle machines are a topologically inspired diagrammatic formalism to describe information flow in networks. This paper begins with an expository account of tangle machines motivated by the problem of describing `covariance intersection' fusion of Gaussian estimators in networks. It then gives two examples in which tangle machines tell stories of adiabatic quantum computations, and discusses learning tangle machines from data.

description: Existem muitas fontes diferentes de dados, incluindo: relatório de incidentes sistemas, reclamações, alegações de negligência, paciente relatado, mortes evitáveis, ferramentas de ativação e auditorias internas e externas. Em geral a consolidação dos registros no sistema apresenta fragilidades qualitativas que prejudicam o provimento de ações de melhorias institucionais. Embora os sistemas de notificações de incidentes representam uma coleção de relatórios cujo a intenção é a revelação da casuística do evento em geral, não conseguem desdobrar-se em ações que previnam a sua reincidência. Os sistemas são fragmentados, carecem de integração e de uma estrutura que permita aprendizagem e visão coesa sobre as práticas de prevenção. Realizamos um estudo de revisão de escopo de pesquisa literatura relevante no campo de interesse. Métodos: Cinco bases de dados bibliográficas (medline/ pubmed embase,scopus,web of science ,lilacs e cinahal)Para manter a revisão gerenciável e relevante para os atributos do sistema de notificação informatizado.
