description: The hallmark of a 2 dimensional topologically ordered phase is the existence of deconfined `anyon' excitations that have exotic braiding and exchange statistics, different from those of ordinary bosons or fermions. As opposed to conventional Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson phases, which are classified on the basis of the spontaneous breaking of an underlying symmetry, topologically ordered phases, such as those occurring in the fractional quantum Hall effect, are absolutely stable, not requiring any such symmetry. Recently, though, it has been realized that symmetries, which may still be present in such systems, can give rise to a host of new, distinct, many-body phases, all of which share the same underlying topological order. A useful approach to classifying SETs is to determine all possible such symmetry actions on the anyons that are algebraically consistent with the anyons' statistics. Remarkably, however, there exist symmetry actions that, despite being algebraically consistent, cannot be realized in any physical system, and hence do not lead to valid 2d SETs. One class of such `anomalous' SETs, characterized by certain disallowed symmetry fractionalization patters, finds a physical interpretation as an allowed surface state of certain 3d short-range entangled phases, but another, characterized by some seemingly valid but anomalous permutation actions of the symmetry on the anyons, has so far eluded a physical interpretation. In this work, we find a physical realization for these anomalously permuting SETs as surface theories of certain 3d long-range entangled phases, completing our understanding of general anomalous SETs in 2 dimensions.

Biofiltration of Ammonia In Air

description: Ammonia emissions from intensive livestock operations are a significant source of reactive atmospheric nitrogen. The elevated levels of ammonia cause adverse environmental and occupational health effects. Recent studies link the associated odors with symptoms common to communities neighboring these facilities. Therefore, the development of technologies to remove odor-causing emissions will be important to public acceptance of large livestock operations. A laboratory-scale biotrickling filter was designed and operated to remove ammonia from an artificially contaminated airsteam. The biofilter was constructed as two 0.5 meter columns in series, each packed with an expanded clay medium (Infilco-Degremont Biolite[tm]) and inoculated with an enriched nitrifying seed culture. The study, conducted over six weeks of continuous operation, used three sets of operational conditions. In Periods 1 and 2 an empty bed contact time (EBCT)of 28 seconds was maintained for nitrogen loading rates of 0.25 and 0.5 kg N/m3d, respectively. In Period 3 the higher loading rate was sustained but at an EBCT of 14 seconds. The ammonia removal was greater than 99% for all three operating conditions. Virtually all of the ammonia was converted to nitrate in the biofilter. Headloss across the media bed did not increase during any operating conditions and suspended solids in the liquid effluent remained constant at 1mg/, suggesting that biomass accumulation was not a problem over the six week experimental period. The results suggest that biotrickling filtration using an expanded clay medium is a viable option for the treatment of air contaminated with ammonia at high concentrations and loading rates.

Formation of Halogenated Organic Compounds during Wastewater Chlorination: A Field Study
Creators: name: Wiseman, Joseph F.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1987

description: Since the deletion of federally mandated fecal coliform limits from the definition of secondary wastewater treatment in 1976, most states have been reviewing and modifying their requirements concerning wastewater disinfection, particularly with regard to the use of chlorine. One of the issues involved in this review of disinfection policies has been the discharge of potentially carcinogenic halogenated organic compounds formed during chlorination and their effect on aquatic life and downstream water consumers. This research examined the formation of THMs and TOX during wastewater chlorination at three wastewater treatment plants in the Piedmont area of North Carolina. In-stream water samples were taken upstream and downstream from two of the plants to determine the increase and persistence of THMs and TOX below each plant. TOX and THM formation was evaluated in terms of effluent wastewater quality, chlorine contacting system, method of chlorine addition, and chlorine-to-ammonia ratio. The results showed that between approximately 50 and 150 ug/l of TOX was formed as a result of chlorination at the three plants; small to insignificant levels of THMs were detected. A significant amount of the final discharge level of TOX was present in the unchlorinated secondary effluent which indicates that halogenated organics formed during drinking water chlorination may be a major contributor . TOX was shown to be conservative in the respective receiving streams by mass balance calculations and agreement of the two downstream sampling stations.

description: Let $k,d,λ\geqslant1$ be integers with $d\geqslantλ$. Let $m(k,d,λ)$ be the maximum positive integer $n$ such that every set of $n$ points (not necessarily in general position) in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ has the property that the convex hulls of all $k$-sets have a common transversal $(d-λ)$-plane. It turns out that $m(k, d,λ)$ is strongly connected with other interesting problems, for instance, the chromatic number of Kneser hypergraphs and a discrete version of Rado's centerpoint theorem. In the same spirit, we introduce a natural discrete version $m^*$ of $m$ by considering the existence of complete Kneser transversals. We study the relation between them and give a number of lower and upper bounds of $m^*$ as well as the exact value in some cases. The main ingredient for the proofs are Radon's partition theorem as well as oriented matroids tools. By studying the alternating oriented matroid we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the function $m^*$ for the family of cyclic polytopes.

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1995
Subjects: Music

description: Weber's book is partially about Britain's persistent failure to cast off "the thrall of this social [ruling] class". But it is concerned generally about the manipulation of culture and modern communication by the elite, so it has its wider warnings. The privileged everywhere will appropriate religion, charity, music, or what you will, in order to exert "proper authority." Others will be influenced without realizing the significance of that influence. In the face of the nontraditional, the elite become allied in their struggle for survival. Eighteenth-century Britain was in the ascendant, but the same laws apply to communities in decline. What does it mean when, with this in mind, we musicians consider that "the classics" are still central to our preservation? Weber's text is profoundly nonpartisan and undogmatic, strict in its adherence to its particular field. But it will prove all the more valuable for this in time, since it is a book of rare distinction in music history.

description: We compare X-ray and caustic mass profiles for a sample of 16 massive galaxy clusters. We assume hydrostatic equilibrium in interpreting the X-ray data, and use large samples of cluster members with redshifts as a basis for applying the caustic technique. The hydrostatic and caustic masses agree to better than $\approx20\%$ on average across the radial range covered by both techniques $(\sim[0.2-1.25]R_{500})$. The mass profiles were measured independently and do not assume a common functional form. Previous studies suggest that, at $R_{500}$, the hydrostatic and caustic masses are biased low and high respectively. We find that the ratio of hydrostatic to caustic mass at $R_{500}$ is $1.20^{+0.13}_{-0.11}$; thus it is larger than 0.9 at $\approx3σ$ and the combination of under- and over-estimation of the mass by these two techniques is $\approx10\%$ at most. There is no indication of any dependence of the mass ratio on the X-ray morphology of the clusters, indicating that the hydrostatic masses are not strongly systematically affected by the dynamical state of the clusters. Overall, our results favour a small value of the so-called hydrostatic bias due to non-thermal pressure sources.

Efficacy of BACSAN as a Point-of-Supply Drinking Water Disinfectant
Creators: name: Witmer, Lindsay
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Point-of-supply disinfection is one promising means of providing safe drinking water to the nearly one billion people lacking access around the world. BacSan is an aqueous solution of natural ionic minerals that may serve as an effective option for point-of-supply disinfection; charged ions in the solution may inactivate microbes by binding DNA and/or disrupting cells walls and other structures. This project evaluated BacSan disinfection by varying concentration and time to meet the performance criteria set by the US EPA and WHO for the reduction of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella terrigena, male-specific coliphage MS-2, and Polio virus type 1. Appreciable reductions of microbial indicators were observed. For E. coli B, a reduction of ≥6.8 log[10](≥99.9999%) was achieved (24 hours, 13.3 μl BacSan/L), for K. terrigena, a reduction of 8.5 log[10](99.9999997%) was achieved (24 hours, 20 μl BacSan/L), for MS-2, a reduction of >5.5 log[10] (>99.9997%) was achieved (24 hours, 20 μl BacSan/L), and for Poliovirus-1, a reduction of 1.321 log[10](92.89%) was achieved (24 hours, 28.6 μl BacSan/L). This study also evaluated the potential health risks posed to users of BacSan. It was found that BacSan contributed concentrations of nitrates and copper above those considered safe for human health, according to the US EPA and WHO BacSan also contributed concentrations of aluminum and zinc at levels that may cause negative aesthetic effects in treated water. We conclude that BacSan significantly reduces concentrations of some representative indicator microorganisms in raw water, though it may cause health risks in some populations.

description: Whistleblowing is essential for ensuring transparency and accountability in both public and private sectors. However, (potential) whistleblowers often fear or face retaliation, even when reporting anonymously. The specific content of their disclosures and their distinct writing style may re-identify them as the source. Legal measures, such as the EU Whistleblower Directive, are limited in their scope and effectiveness. Therefore, computational methods to prevent re-identification are important complementary tools for encouraging whistleblowers to come forward. However, current text sanitization tools follow a one-size-fits-all approach and take an overly limited view of anonymity. They aim to mitigate identification risk by replacing typical high-risk words (such as person names and other labels of named entities) and combinations thereof with placeholders. Such an approach, however, is inadequate for the whistleblowing scenario since it neglects further re-identification potential in textual features, including the whistleblower’s writing style. Therefore, we propose, implement, and evaluate a novel classification and mitigation strategy for rewriting texts that involves the whistleblower in the assessment of the risk and utility. Our prototypical tool semi-automatically evaluates risk at the word/term level and applies risk-adapted anonymization techniques to produce a grammatically disjointed yet appropriately sanitized text. We then use a Large Language Model (LLM) that we fine-tuned for paraphrasing to render this text coherent and style-neutral. We evaluate our tool’s effectiveness using court cases from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and excerpts from a real-world whistleblower testimony and measure the protection against authorship attribution attacks and utility loss statistically using the popular IMDb62 movie reviews dataset, which consists of 62 individuals. Our method can significantly reduce authorship attribution accuracy from 98.81% to 31.22%, while preserving up to 73.1% of the original content’s semantics, as measured by the established cosine similarity of sentence embeddings.

description: Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are ideal candidates to explore the manifestation of spin-valley physics under external stimuli. In this study, we investigate the influence of strain on the spin and orbital angular momenta, effective g-factors, and Berry curvatures of several monolayer TMDCs (Mo and W based) using a full ab initio approach. At the K-valleys, we find a surprising decrease of the conduction band spin expectation value for compressive strain, consequently increasing the dipole strength of the dark exciton by more than one order of magnitude (for $\sim 1\%-2\%$ strain variation). We also predict the behavior of direct excitons g-factors under strain: tensile (compressive) strain increases (decreases) the absolute value of g-factors. Strain variations of ∼1% modify the bright (A and B) excitons g-factors by ∼0.3 (0.2) for W (Mo) based compounds and the dark exciton g-factors by ∼0.5 (0.3) for W (Mo) compounds. Our predictions could be directly visualized in magneto-optical experiments in strained samples at low temperature. Additionally, our calculations strongly suggest that strain effects are one of the possible causes of g-factor fluctuations observed experimentally. By comparing the different TMDC compounds, we reveal the role of spin–orbit coupling (SOC): the stronger the SOC, the more sensitive are the spin-valley features under applied strain. Consequently, monolayer WSe2 is a formidable candidate to explore the role of strain on the spin-valley physics. We complete our analysis by considering the side valleys, Γ and Q points, and by investigating the influence of strain in the Berry curvature. In the broader context of valley- and strain-tronics, our study provides fundamental microscopic insights into the role of strain in the spin-valley physics of TMDCs, which are relevant to interpret experimental data in monolayer TMDCs as well as TMDC-based van der Waals heterostructures.

description: The vacuum structure of the inert doublet model is analysed at the one-loop level using the effective potential formalism, to verify the validity of tree-level predictions for the properties of the global minimum. An inert minimum (with massive fermions) and an inert-like minimum (with massless fermions) can coexist at tree level. But the one-loop analysis reveals that the allowed parameter space for the coexistence of more than one minimum is larger than the tree-level expected one. It is also shown that for some choices of parameters, the global minimum found at the one-loop level may be inert (or inert-like), contrary to what the tree-level analysis indicates.

description: This study numerically and analytically investigates the dynamics of a rotor under viscous or dry friction as a non-equilibrium probe of a granular gas. In order to demonstrate the role of the rotor as a probe for a non-equilibrium bath, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the rotor is performed under viscous or dry friction surrounded by a steady granular gas under gravity. A one- to-one map between the velocity distribution function (VDF) of the granular gas and the angular distribution function for the rotor is theoretically derived. The MD simulation demonstrates that the one-to-one map accurately infers the local VDF of the granular gas from the angular VDF of the rotor, and vice versa.

description: Let $G$ be a $\mathbb{Q}_p$-split reductive group with connected centre and Borel subgroup $B=TN$. We construct a right exact functor $D^\vee_Δ$ from the category of smooth modulo $p^n$ representations of $B$ to the category of projective limits of finitely generated étale $(φ,Γ)$-modules over a multivariable (indexed by the set of simple roots) commutative Laurent-series ring. These correspond to representations of a direct power of $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}/\mathbb{Q}_p)$ via an equivalence of categories. Parabolic induction from a subgroup $P=L_PN_P$ corresponds to a basechange from a Laurent-series ring in those variables with corresponding simple roots contained in the Levi component $L_P$. $D^\vee_Δ$ is exact and yields finitely generated objects on the category $SP_A$ of finite length representations with subquotients of principal series as Jordan-Hölder factors. Lifting the functor $D^\vee_Δ$ to all (noncommuting) variables indexed by the positive roots allows us to construct a $G$-equivariant sheaf $\mathfrak{Y}_{π,Δ}$ on $G/B$ and a $G$-equivariant continuous map from the Pontryagin dual $π^\vee$ of a smooth representation $π$ of $G$ to the global sections $\mathfrak{Y}_{π,Δ}(G/B)$. We deduce that $D^\vee_Δ$ is fully faithful on the full subcategory of $SP_A$ with Jordan-Hölder factors isomorphic to irreducible principal series.

description: Context. Friends-of-friends algorithms are a common tool to detect galaxy groups and clusters in large survey data. In order to be as precise as possible, they have to be carefully calibrated using mock catalogues. Aims. We create an accurate and robust description of the matter distribution in the local Universe using the most up-to-date available data. This will provide the input for a specific cosmological test planned as follow-up to this work, and will be useful for general extragalactic and cosmological research. Methods. We created a set of galaxy group catalogues based on the 2MRS and SDSS DR12 galaxy samples using a friends-of-friends based group finder algorithm. The algorithm was carefully calibrated and optimised on a new set of wide-angle mock catalogues from the Millennium simulation, in order to provide accurate total mass estimates of the galaxy groups taking into account the relevant observational biases in 2MRS and SDSS. Results. We provide four different catalogues (i) a 2MRS based group catalogue; (ii) an SDSS DR12 based group catalogue reaching out to a redshift z = 0.11 with stellar mass estimates for 70% of the galaxies; (iii) a catalogue providing additional fundamental plane distances for all groups of the SDSS catalogue that host elliptical galaxies; (iv) a catalogue of the mass distribution in the local Universe based on a combination of our 2MRS and SDSS catalogues. Conclusions. While motivated by a specific cosmological test, three of the four catalogues that we produced are well suited to act as reference databases for a variety of extragalactic and cosmological science cases. Our catalogue of fundamental plane distances for SDSS groups provides further added value to this paper.

Oral Administration of Arsenic: Experimentation and Mathematical Modeling
Creators: name: Rust, Karen Lee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: This work describes an experimental investigation carried out to determine the level of uptake of arsenic in the vital organs and tissues of mice, and a compartmental model developed to simulate the data obtained from the experiment. During the experiment designed to determine the steady-state whole body level of arsenic in mice, ten B6C3F1 mice were dosed daily for nine days by oral gavage with radioactive sodium arsenate in water at a concentration level of 0.5 mg of As per kg of bodyweight. The pre-dose and post-dose radioactive arsenic levels were measured and recorded for each animal daily using a whole-body gamma counter. The urine and feces were collected daily from each animal following the post-dose measure, and analyzed for radioactive arsenic. At the end of the ten day experiment, five mice were sacrificed and selected vital organs and tissue samples were harvested and tested for radioactive arsenic. The five remaining mice were monitored for nine additional days before they were sacrificed and the same organs and tissue samples harvested and measured. The average normalized percent of arsenic (ug As) distributed in the harvested organs of animals 6 through 10 were: 0.057% for liver, 0.026% for kidneys, 0.003% for the lungs, 0.675% for the carcass, and 0.215% for the skin. Using these experimental data and the percent of cardiac output for the vital organs in mice, a multi-compartmental PBPK model was developed with the Stella Software System (HPS, 1997). The computational part of the model consists of a set of first order equations that are a function of the associated blood flow for each compartment. The resulting equations are solved numerically with respect to time. This model provides concentration predictions that are within 15 percent of those from the experiment for feces, urine, carcass, skin, and the liver, so it could be used in policy making as a predictive tool.

Computational Simulation of Worker Exposure Using a Particle Trajectory Method
Creators: name: Chen, Ming-Ming
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: A discrete vortex model of the recirculating flow downstream of a worker is used to calculate trajectories of "massless" tracer particles released from a fixed point source. Mean concentrations in the plane of the source are estimated by averaging over a number of such trajectories. Approximations include: (1) the worker is represented by a two-dimensional elliptical cylinder; and (2) the contaminant is represented by massless tracer particles which are generated without momentum and transported by vortex shedding and turbulent diffusion exclusively. Computer-predicted mean concentrations are examined by comparison to results from a windtunnel tracer gas experiment.

description: This paper studies algebraic and analytic structures associated with the Lerch zeta function. It defines a family of two-variable Hecke operators $\{ T_m: \, m \ge 1\}$ given by $T_m(f)(a, c) = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} f(\frac{a+k}{m}, mc)$ acting on certain spaces of real-analytic functions, including Lerch zeta functions for various parameter values. It determines the action of various related operators on these function spaces. It characterizes Lerch zeta functions (for fixed $s$ in the following way. It shows that there is for each $s \in {\bf C}$ a two-dimensional vector space spanned by linear combinations of Lerch zeta functions is characterized as a maximal space of simultaneous eigenfunctions for this family of Hecke operators. This result is an analogue of a result of Milnor for the Hurwitz zeta function. We also relate these functions to a linear partial differential operator in the $(a, c)$-variables having the Lerch zeta function as an eigenfunction.

A Realistic Approach to Risk Assessment: Monte Carlo Analysis of Dietary Risk from Ethylene Bisdithiocarbamate Residues and Implications of the Delaney Clause
Creators: name: Winters, Robert O.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Monte Carlo analysis was used to estimate the distribution of dietary carcinogenic risk from the consumption of ethylene bisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) pesticide residues on food crops. The results of the Monte Carlo analysis were compared to the single-point estimate of risk calculated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA risk estimate was found to lie between the 80th and 85th percentile of the risk distribution produced by Monte Carlo analysis. The utility of Monte Carlo analysis was discussed with respect to the incorporation of uncertainty into the estimation of dietary risk and the applicability of this method for the evaluation of the negligible risk and de minimis risk issues stemming from the Delaney clause. Background discussions of the Delaney clause, uncertainty in the risk assessment process, and EBDCs are also presented.

Development of a Procedure for Sampling, Fractionation and HPLC Analysis of Nitrated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Air
Creators: name: Rohlfs, Werner
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: A procedure has been developed for sampling, fractionation and HPLC analysis of carcinogenic nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAH) in air. A high volume sampling system was selected consisting of a Teflon coated glass fiber filter and two polyurethane foam (PUF) plugs in series downstream from the filter. Teflon coated filters were chosen because of their low catalytic potential for artifact formation of nitro-PAH during sampling. PUF was used over XAD-2 resin for sampling volatilized nitro-PAH because of better blank values and extraction efficiencies. Recoveries of simulated sampling experiments (nitro-PAH added on filters were volatilized by operating the sampling pumps) were in the range of 73.6 - 93.8 %. Fractionations of crude sample extracts were performed using a normal phase preparative HPLC column and an 83 minute solvent program that controlled the proportions of n-hexane, methylene chloride and acetonitrile as constituents of the mobile phase. The selected method consisted of an HPLC separation on a reversed phase column (Supelcosil LC-PAH (5 micron)) using a mixture of methanol/water (80/20) as the mobile phase. After separation the nitro-PAH were reduced on-line to the corresponding amino-PAH using a heated catalytic reducer column containing a platinum-rhodium three-way automotive catalyst. A fluorescence detector was used to quantify the amino-PAH produced. The nine nitro-PAH studied in this project could be analysed in chromatograms of 17 minutes length and with detection limits ranging from 7.6 - 90 pg/10 microliter injection. The identity between sample and standard compounds could be tested by comparing peak height changes that occured when non-optimal wavelengths for the emitted fluorescence light were used for detection instead of the optimal wavelenths. In this way, 1-nitropyrene was confirmed in a filter sample from a conveyor station of a carbon plant.
Complex bifurcations in Bénard-Marangoni convection

description: We study the dynamics of a system defined by the Navier-Stokes equations for a non-compressible fluid with Marangoni boundary conditions in the two dimensional case. We show that more complicated bifurcations can appear in this system for a certain nonlinear temperature profile as compared to bifurcations in the classical Rayleigh-Bénard and Bénard-Marangoni systems with simple linear vertical temperature profiles. In terms of the Bénard-Marangoni convection, the obtained mathematical results lead to our understanding of complex spatial patterns at a free liquid surface, which can be induced by a complicated profile of temperature or a chemical concentration at that surface. In addition, we discuss some possible applications of the results to turbulence theory and climate science.

title: Economic abuse among Ghanaian women in intimate relationships
Creators: name: Boateng, Jessica
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2022

description: Domestic violence, including economic abuse, is a global problem with far-reaching implications for women. Economic abuse occurs when an intimate partner deprives or threatens to deny their partner access to, and control of, financial and economic resources. Emerging evidence indicates that women in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ghana, experience high levels of economic abuse, and that it takes many forms. Notwithstanding, academic research on this topic remains scant, and very few studies document women's lived experiences of economic abuse. This dissertation contributes to the literature by examining the lived experiences of women facing economic abuse in the Greater Accra, Ashanti, and the Upper East regions of Ghana. This study used qualitative in-depth interviews and feminist theory to explore the causes, consequences, and coping strategies of 16 female survivors of economic abuse in Ghana. Results indicate that economic abuse is a common experience for Ghanaian women, although they were often unaware of it. Women narrated experiences of economic exploitation, deprivation, and sabotage affecting various aspects of their lives. While some women had had their employment sabotaged by their male partners, others had experienced financial extortion by their partners. Husbands’ extramarital affairs, lack of interest in the family or apathy, drunkenness, jealousy, and cultural factors were major causes of these types of abuse. Economic abuse negatively affected female survivors' jobs, businesses, and food security, and led to physical violence and adverse health implications. Women coped with these types of violence by relying on external family networks, religion, and theft from husbands, while others trivialized their experiences. Policymakers need to implement programmes that educate women about economic abuse and empower them to be economically and financially self-sufficient.
