Environmental determinants of bicycling to rail stations in Chicago
Creators: name: Schwartz, Michael A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Transit agencies are increasingly incorporating cycling into their programs through bicycle to transit initiatives such as indoor bicycle parking at rail stations as well as bicycles on buses and trains. In spite of the popularity and success of these programs, little research exists on the influences on the behavior, and transit planners and decisions makers do not have a reliable way of gauging demand for bicycle facilities. This paper provides a brief overview of the literature on bicycling to transit, as well as cycling and transit behavior separately. We used annual counts of bicycles parked at Chicago Transit Authority rail stations and neighborhood GIS data to estimate longitudinal models of the environmental determinants of bicycling to rail stations. Results indicate that increased use of bicycle parking at rail stations is associated with higher station boardings, more bicycle parking facilities, lower residential density and crime, and fewer bus options, even while controlling for neighborhood demographics. Based on the findings, we recommend that practitioners use an assortment of policies and infrastructure improvements to expand the reach of the transit and cycling networks. In addition, planning professionals should take initiative to collect useful data to prove the success of cycling to transit programs.

description: We measure the galaxy-ellipticity (GI) correlations for the Slogan Digital Sky Survey DR12 LOWZ and CMASS samples with the shape measurements from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys. We model the GI correlations in an N-body simulation with our recent accurate stellar-halo mass relation from the Photometric object Around Cosmic webs (PAC) method. The large data set and our accurate modeling turns out an accurate measurement of the alignment angle between central galaxies and their host halos. We find that the alignment of central {\textit {elliptical}} galaxies with their host halos increases monotonically with galaxy stellar mass or host halo mass, which can be well described by a power law for the massive galaxies. We also find that central elliptical galaxies are more aligned with their host halos in LOWZ than in CMASS, which might indicate an evolution of galaxy-halo alignment, though future studies are needed to verify this is not induced by the sample selections. In contrast, central {\textit {disk}} galaxies are aligned with their host halos about 10 times more weakly in the GI correlation. These results have important implications for intrinsic alignment (IA) correction in weak lensing studies, IA cosmology, and theory of massive galaxy formation.

description: Strongly magnetized accretion discs around black holes have attractive features that may explain enigmatic aspects of X-ray binary behaviour. The structure and evolution of these discs are governed by a dynamo-like mechanism, which channels part of the accretion power liberated by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) into an ordered toroidal magnetic field. To study dynamo activity, we performed three-dimensional, stratified, isothermal, ideal magnetohydrodynamic shearing box simulations. The strength of the self-sustained toroidal magnetic field depends on the net vertical magnetic flux, which we vary across almost the entire range over which the MRI is linearly unstable. We quantify disc structure and dynamo properties as a function of the initial ratio of mid-plane gas pressure to vertical magnetic field pressure, $β_0^{\rm mid} = p_{\rm gas} / p_B$. For $10^5 \geq β_0^{\rm mid} \geq 10$ the effective $α$-viscosity parameter scales as a power-law. Dynamo activity persists up to and including $β_0^{\rm mid} = 10^2$, at which point the entire vertical column of the disc is magnetic pressure-dominated. Still stronger fields result in a highly inhomogeneous disc structure, with large density fluctuations. We show that the turbulent steady state $β^{\rm mid}$ in our simulations is well-matched by the analytic model of Begelman et al. (2015) describing the creation and buoyant escape of toroidal field, while the vertical structure of the disc can be broadly reproduced using this model. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results for observed properties of X-ray binaries.

description: Planning under process and measurement uncertainties is a challenging problem. In its most general form it can be modeled as a Partially Observed Markov Decision Process (POMDP) problem. However POMDPs are generally difficult to solve when the underlying spaces are continuous, particularly when beliefs are non-Gaussian, and the difficulty is further exacerbated when there are also non-convex constraints on states. Existing algorithms to address such challenging POMDPs are expensive in terms of computation and memory. In this paper, we provide a feedback policy in non-Gaussian belief space via solving a convex program for common non-linear observation models. The solution involves a Receding Horizon Control strategy using particle filters for the non-Gaussian belief representation. We develop a way of capturing non-convex constraints in the state space and adapt the optimization to incorporate such constraints, as well. A key advantage of this method is that it does not introduce additional variables in the optimization problem and is therefore more scalable than existing constrained problems in belief space. We demonstrate the performance of the method on different scenarios.

description: In recent years, opportunity mapping has increasingly been used to assess how access to social, economic, and educational opportunity differs across various racial and economic groups. In the context of the Section 8 HCV program, opportunity mapping offers a highly useful planning and decision-making tool for voucher-holders, local public housing officials, and housing advocacy groups. Using Charlotte, North Carolina and surrounding Mecklenburg County as a case study, this paper is intended to demonstrate the utility of opportunity mapping for assessing the locational outcomes and corresponding neighborhood quality of HCV households at the local level.

description: We perform general-relativistic hydrodynamical simulations of dynamical capture binary neutron star mergers, emphasizing the role played by the neutron star spin. Dynamical capture mergers may take place in globular clusters, as well as other dense stellar systems, where most neutron stars have large spins. We find significant variability in the merger outcome as a function of initial neutron star spin. For cases where the spin is aligned with the orbital angular momentum, the additional centrifugal support in the remnant hypermassive neutron star can prevent the prompt collapse to a black hole, while for antialigned cases the decreased total angular momentum can facilitate the collapse to a black hole. We show that even moderate spins can significantly increase the amount of ejected material, including the amount unbound with velocities greater than half the speed of light, leading to brighter electromagnetic signatures associated with kilonovae and interaction of the ejecta with the interstellar medium. Furthermore, we find that the initial neutron star spin can strongly affect the already rich phenomenology in the postmerger gravitational wave signatures that arise from the oscillation modes of the hypermassive neutron star. In several of our simulations, the resulting hypermassive neutron star develops the one-arm ($m=1$) spiral instability, the most pronounced cases being those with small but non-negligible neutron star spins. For long-lived hypermassive neutron stars, the presence of this instability leads to improved prospects for detecting these events through gravitational waves, and thus may give information about the neutron star equation of state.

description: With mock strong gravitational lensing images, we investigate the performance of the broken power-law (BPL) model proposed by \citet{2020ApJ...892...62D} on the mass reconstruction of galaxy-scale lenses. An end-to-end test is carried out, including the creation of mock strong lensing images, the subtraction of lens light, and the reconstruction of lensed images, where the lenses are selected from the galaxies in the Illustris-1 simulation. We notice that, regardless of the adopted mass models (the BPL model or its special cases), the Einstein radius can be robustly determined from imaging data alone, and the median bias is typically less than $1\%$. Away from the Einstein radius, the lens mass distribution tends to be harder to measure, especially at radii where there are no lensed images detected. We find that, with rigid priors, the BPL model can clearly outperform the single power-law models by achieving $<5\%$ median bias on the radial convergence profile within the Einstein radius. As for the source light reconstructions, they are found to be sensitive to both lens light contamination and lens mass models, where the BPL model with rigid priors still performs best when there is no lens light contamination. We show that, by correcting for the projection effect, the BPL model can estimate the aperture and luminosity weighted line-of-sight velocity dispersions to an accuracy of $\sim6\%$ scatter. These results highlight the great potential of the BPL model in strong lensing related studies.

Roaster Decision-Making for Coffee Certification: Specialty Coffee Roasters in the North Carolina Triangle Region
Creators: name: Genzler, Jennifer

Year: 2004

description: In recent years the use of standards and certifications has gained attention among a wide array of groups indirectly and directly related to trade. Standards and certifications for commodities, such as coffee, have emerged at a time that coincides with policy supporting free trade. The debate over free trade and its impacts on stakeholders involved in commodity trading has led to the rise of advocacy groups supporting ethical trade. These groups often use standards and certifications as a means to support and encourage ethical trade. While certifications in coffee such as Fair Trade, Organic and Shade Grown/Bird Friendly have grown in recent years, little is known about why coffee roasters opt for certifications. This paper focuses on roasters, the key intermediary in coffee production that makes the decision about whether or not to purchase certified coffee. Using a value chain framework, the paper analyses why and in what conditions roasters decide to become certified. Specialty Coffee Roasters in the triangle region located in North Carolina were interviewed to provide primary data in regards to their decision-making. While there were many reasons that influenced roaster decision making, the most surprising finding was that the supporters of the ethical trade movement, of which a significant amount are students and activists, were not the consumers purchasing certified coffee.

description: Current models of gamma-ray lightcurves in pulsars suffer from large uncertainties on the precise location of particle acceleration and radiation. Here, we present an attempt to alleviate these difficulties by solving for the electromagnetic structure of the oblique magnetosphere, particle acceleration, and the emission of radiation self-consistently, using 3D spherical particle-in-cell simulations. We find that the low-energy radiation is synchro-curvature radiation from the polar-cap regions within the light cylinder. In contrast, the high-energy emission is synchrotron radiation that originates exclusively from the Y-point and the equatorial current sheet where relativistic magnetic reconnection accelerates particles. In most cases, synthetic high-energy lightcurves contain two peaks that form when the current sheet sweeps across the observer's line of sight. We find clear evidence of caustics in the emission pattern from the current sheet. High-obliquity solutions can present up to two additional secondary peaks from energetic particles in the wind region accelerated by the reconnection-induced flow near the current sheet. The high-energy radiative efficiency depends sensitively on the viewing angle, and decreases with increasing pulsar inclination. The high-energy emission is concentrated in the equatorial regions where most of the pulsar spindown is released and dissipated. These results have important implications for the interpretation of gamma-ray pulsar data.

description: A framework for topology optimization of cooling channels is proposed, which paves the way towards automated design of additively-manufactured cooling channels, required in applications such as the efficient heat management of die casting molds. Combining a selection of pertinent techniques and methods, the proposed density-based approach is strengthened by systematic verification and validation steps, including the body-fitted meshing of an optimized design. Furthermore, this work features applications to simplified, yet industrially-relevant cases, as well as a detailed discussion of the effects of the hyper-parameters of the optimization problem. These enable the reader to acquire a better understanding of the control and regularization mechanisms, which are necessary for a robust development towards complex scenarios.
Dimensional crossover in a Fermi gas from one to effective six dimensions and a cross-dimensional Tomonaga-Luttinger model

description: We describe the dimensional crossover in a noninteracting Fermi gas in an anisotropic trap, obtained by populating various transverse modes of the trap. We study the dynamical structure factor and drag force. Starting from a dimension $d$, the $(\!d\!+\!1\!)$-dimensional case is obtained to a good approximation with relatively few modes. We show that the dynamical structure factor of a gas in a $d$-dimensional harmonic trap simulates an effective $2d$-dimensional box trap. We focus then on the experimentally relevant situation when only a portion of the gas in harmonic confinement is probed and give a condition to obtain the behavior of a $d$-dimensional gas in a box. Finally, we propose a generalized Tomonaga-Luttinger model for the multimode configuration and compare the dynamical structure factor in the 2D limit with the exact result, finding that it is accurate in the backscattering region and at low energy.

description: Researchers in the social sciences use various software for statistical analysis of rectangular, structured data. The various data formats which are only partially compatible impede data exchange and reuse. In particular, proprietary data formats endanger those in the FAIR principles enshrined demand for interoperability. The open, metadata-enriched, non-proprietary data dissemination format (OpenDF) is a project of KonsortSWD, the NFDI consortium for the social, behavioural, educational and economic sciences. The project provides a non-proprietary Open Data Format enriched with multi-level metadata that is smoothly usable with popular statistical software. The project includes two main work aspects: first, the specification of the Open Data Format, including its metadata components, and second, its technical implementation for various statistical software packages. This presentation will highlight the current phase of our work. First, we will present the specification of metadata profile for the Open Data Format, which is fully compatible with the DDI Codebook. In addition, based on this profile, we will demonstrate the technical import and export filters for specific statistical program.

description: Long-range thermal fluctuations appear in fluids in nonequilibrium states leading to fluctuation-induced Casimir-like forces. Two distinct mechanisms have been identified for the origin of the long-range nonequilibrium fluctuations in fluids subjected to a temperature or concentration gradient. One is a coupling between the heat or mass-diffusion mode with a viscous mode in fluids subjected to a temperature or concentration gradient. Another one is the spatial inhomogeneity of thermal noise in the presence of a gradient. We show that in fluids fluctuation-induced forces arising from mode coupling are several orders of magnitude larger than those from inhomogeneous noise.

Regional and Airport Planning Components of the Aerotropolis
Creators: name: Thirsk, Nathan Jake
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The deregulation of the Airline industry in 1978 created a permanent change in the air route structure
and organization of airport nodes. Airlines re-organized according to a hub and spoke schematic, and
the entry of low cost carriers opened up airports to increased competition for airline tenants. The
growth of the global economy since 1978 has increased demand for speed, agility and connectivity in
the movement of goods and people, and air travel is the dominant mode of choice. Large hub airports
like Memphis International (MEM) and Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW) have become the
central U.S. nexus for translating global economic forces to the regional level. Large passenger and
cargo hub airports have expanded immensely in land area as well as economic and political
influence; and an increased need for non-aeronautical revenue has caused them to impose greater
footprints on land use and transportation infrastructure outside their fences. As the new primary
drivers for their regions, they exert both huge positive and negative growth impacts on their
surrounding communities. U.S. airports were not initially constructed with their surrounding cities in
mind, but the need for integrated urban planning and coordination between airport and regional
transportation planners has never been more urgent. Examination of the aerotropolis model has
revealed that it has the necessary economic, spatial, intergovernmental and infrastructural
components to help guide urban planners in cities with large hub airports towards a future Airport
City Master planning interface model. The key trademark of such a strategy is the ability of regional
transportation and airport master plans to synergize in their visions, goals, objectives, policies, and
desired outcomes. A case study of DFW and MEM has revealed that this process is taking place, but
full integration of plans and methodologies has not yet occurred. The City of Memphis is currently
drafting a first-of-its kind Airport City Master Plan that holds great promise for harnessing the
airport’s positive growth potential; and for inducing an airport planning shift towards more
sustainable land uses, smart growth, and multi-modal transportation networks. This paper has
revealed the essential elements for regional and airport plan integration and provided an
agglomeration of aerotropolis planning components from the available research. A critical
comparative analysis has created policy recommendations for regional and airport planners, and
exposed areas for future research at different community scales.

What Should We Do With Our Cars While We Take The Train?
Creators: name: Faulkner, Susan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: Twenty-nine U.S. cities are considering building commuter rail systems to help alleviate road congestion. At the preliminary design stage of these systems, planners make decisions concerning parking at many of the stations. Planners must balance the need to encourage ridership with the problem that land acquisition is very costly and land used for parking may not be the best use of land. In this Master Project, I examined how commuter rail agencies in the U.S. and Canada are currently meeting and managing the parking demand at their stations. Using a survey instrument, I sampled twenty agencies to discover what parking problems they have encountered, their solutions and recommendations, and drew comparisons to best practices. Strategies recommended and used by current rail providers include kiss 'n rides, multi-modal station designs, shared parking, car sharing programs, designated spaces for vanpools and carpools, and parking benefit districts. To improve the effectiveness of these strategies, I recommend combining several different parking demand management strategies.

Both the differential configurational entropy and the differential configurational complexity are computed and used to achieve the mass spectrum of strange vector kaons resonances with higher radial quantum numbers. This approach amalgamates AdS/QCD and the experimental mass spectrum of already detected strange vector kaons in the Particle Data Group, providing a hybrid technique to study the next generation of strange vector kaons resonances.

description: General properties of neutron stars are briefly reviewed with an emphasis on the indispensability of general relativity in our understanding of these fascinating objects. In Newtonian gravity the pressure within a star merely plays the role of opposing self-gravity. In general relativity all sources of energy and momentum contribute to the gravity. As a result the pressure not only opposes gravity but also enhances it. The later role of pressure becomes more pronounced with increasing compactness, $M/R$ where $M$ and $R$ are the mass and radius of the star, and sets a critical mass beyond which collapse is inevitable. This critical mass has no Newtonian analogue; it is conceptually different than the Stoner-Landau-Chandrasekhar limit in Newtonian gravity which is attained asymptotically for ultra-relativistic fermions. For white dwarfs the general relativistic critical mass is very close to the Stoner-Landau-Chandrasekhar limit. For neutron stars the maximum mass---so called Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit---is significantly smaller than the Stoner-Landau-Chandrasekhar limit. This follows from the fact that the general relativistic correction to hydrostatic equilibrium within a neutron star is significant throughout the star, including the central part where the mass contained within radial coordinate, $m(r)$, and the Newtonian gravitational acceleration, $Gm(r)/r^2$, are small.

Preserving Open Space In The Triangle: Where Conservation Subdivision Can Make The Greatest Difference
Creators: name: Beechwood, Barbara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This project is predicated on the need for more effective open space conservation tools in rapidly urbanizing regions. It recognizes the fact that it is essential for any viable solution to incorporate a win-win between development and conservation. Although a misunderstood and under utilized option, conservation subdivision development holds great potential to address multiple concerns for all of the stakeholders in the land development and conservation process. Employing a systematic method that begins with the national perspective and percolates down to the individual parcel, this study examines where to site conservation subdivision development so that it addresses the majority of factors influencing the open space site selection process (green infrastructure, ranking and priority, economic concerns, relevant policies, smart growth issues). This report will demonstrate how intentionally targeting a location where conservation subdivision can balance multiple interests can result in ecologically sound, cost-effective and civically responsible open space preservation.

THE ROLE OF MUSIC CULTURE LESSONS IN EDUCATING THE YOUNG GENERATION
Creators: name: Karimova, Dildora
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: In educating the young generation as a well-rounded person, music culture lessons taught in schools have a great spiritual, educational, and educational significance. In such a situation, music is a fine art based on national values, a science, a folk art, a language, a language, a tool that helps to deeply understand the educational significance of the content of spiritual, cultural, and educational events. A music culture teacher has his own place and position as a specialist who promotes national enlightenment, spirituality, culture, and moral education in general secondary schools and out-of-school institutions, in music culture lessons and through musical festive events. At the stage of development of our society, the spiritual, educational, cultural formation of our youth as individuals is an urgent problem.

description: The Canadian ODESI repository (https://www.odesi.ca) aggregates 6,000+ social science datasets including microdata and census data from Statistics Canada, Canadian polling agencies, and other sources. Developed and maintained by Scholars Portal, it is the outcome of ongoing collaboration between members of the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL, https://www.ocul.on.ca). After 15 years providing data access and tools to the Canadian research community, the repository infrastructure is due for an upgrade. In early 2022, the platform's back-end began migrating from Nesstar to Dataverse, a state-of-the art, DDI-compliant repository platform. The current project phase involves migrating five data collections into a testing instance of Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository, and a concurrent redevelopment of the ODESI front-end. This presentation will share and discuss our initial findings, with a primary focus on Dataverse and DDI metadata interoperability issues—alongside other common migration challenges like data/metadata quality, migration workflow management, stakeholder and institutional change management, and sustainability. Our aim is to formulate a migration approach that is community-based, in collaboration and dialogue with the Canadian and international RDM, Dataverse and DDI communities.
Nuclear spin squeezing via electric quadrupole interaction

description: Control over nuclear spin fluctuations is essential for processes that rely on preserving the quantum state of an embedded system. For this purpose, squeezing is a viable alternative, so far that has not been properly exploited for the nuclear spins. Of particular relevance in solids is the electric quadrupole interaction (QI), which operates on nuclei having spin higher than 1/2. In its general form, QI involves an electric field gradient (EFG) biaxiality term. Here, we show that as this EFG biaxiality increases, it enables continuous tuning of single-particle squeezing from the one-axis twisting to the two-axis countertwisting limits. A detailed analysis of QI squeezing is provided, exhibiting the intricate consequences of EFG biaxiality. The initial states over the Bloch sphere are mapped out to identify those favorable for fast initial squeezing, or for prolonged squeezings. Furthermore, the evolution of squeezing in the presence of a phase-damping channel and an external magnetic field are investigated. We observe that dephasing drives toward an anti-squeezed terminal state, the degree of which increases with the spin angular momentum. Finally, QI squeezing in the limiting case of a two-dimensional EFG with a perpendicular magnetic field is discussed, which is of importance for two-dimensional materials, and the associated beat patterns in squeezing are revealed.

How three U.S. cities are addressing the effects of urban shrinkage to create livable cities
Creators: name: Hill, Jessica O'Neal

Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to identify the processes leading to the decline of a number of U.S. cities, use the identified process to examine three shrinking cities, evaluate each city's strategy for addressing the effects of urban decline, and assess if identified strategies create a livable shrinking city. Lastly, each city's distinct approach were identified and compared to the other cities regarding efficacy at creating a livable city. Since 1990 the number of shrinking cities in the world has nearly doubled, and the shrinking trend is expected to continue around the world and across the nation (Rieniets, 2005). Justin Hollander, an urban planning professor at Tufts University, believes that the kind of devastation of post-industrial cities in the Rust Belt is beginning to creep into the Sun Belt and may start to become a universal problem (Altman, 2009). More cities are likely to experience the effects of urban decline and population losses and planners must acknowledge that for some cities, shrinking is inevitable. The challenge for planners is how to plan a shrinking city to be a livable city. Livability of Three U.S. Shrinking Cities. This study examined three American shrinking cities strategies, Philadelphia, Flint, and Youngstown, for their success in creating a more livable shrinking city. Each city has taken a unique approach to address the effects of decline and population loss. Philadelphia initiated a program to clean, green and maintain vacant land in six of the city's neighborhoods. Flint has one of the nation's most comprehensive land banking operations managing the city's foreclosed property. Youngstown developed a comprehensive plan aimed at planning for a smaller, better city. Although none of these cities realized all eight criteria, each city's strategy worked towards a more livable city. Planning for a Shrinking City. Planning for a shrinking city does not mean reduced opportunities. Instead it means cities and planners must adjust their perceptions in order to capture the benefits of a shrinking city. A shrinking city struggles with its physical size and dispersed population. The city and planners must consider its remaining residents and plan to be a smaller, denser, greener city. Consolidate the population into a denser core. Remove the physical remnants of decay. Create an urban suburbia. Adaptive re-use of existing historic and sound structures. Shrinking cities should be livable places providing a high quality of services and life to residents and businesses, as well as preserving and protecting the environment.

description: We derive the most general sets of viable mass spectra of the exotic Higgs bosons in the Georgi-Machacek model that are consistent with the theoretical constraints of vacuum stability and perturbative unitarity and the experimental constraints of electroweak precision observables, $Zb \bar b$ coupling and Higgs boson signal strengths. Branching ratios of various cascade decay channels of the doubly-charged Higgs boson in the ${\bf 5}$ representation, the singly-charged Higgs boson in ${\bf 3}$, and the singlet Higgs boson are further computed. As one of the most promising channels for discovering the model, we study the prospects for detecting the doubly-charged Higgs boson that is produced via the vector boson fusion process and decays into final states containing a pair of same-sign leptons at the 14-TeV LHC and a 100-TeV future $pp$ collider. For this purpose, we evaluate acceptance times efficiency for signals of the doubly-charged Higgs boson with general viable mass spectra and compare it with the standard model background estimates.

description: Let $Δ$ be a simplicial complex. We study the expansions of $Δ$ mainly to see how the algebraic and combinatorial properties of $Δ$ and its expansions are related to each other. It is shown that $Δ$ is Cohen-Macaulay, sequentially Cohen-Macaulay, Buchsbaum or $k$-decomposable, if and only if an arbitrary expansion of $Δ$ has the same property. Moreover, some homological invariants like the regularity and the projective dimension of the Stanley-Reisner ideals of $Δ$ and those of their expansions are compared.
