Institutionalizing food systems planning: the role of food policy councils
Creators: name: Cornog, Megan Eleanor
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: States are increasingly considering and creating food policy councils (FPCs) as a way to examine, create, and evaluate food policy. State level food policy councils remain a relatively new and untested approach to addressing issues within the food system. Given the proposition that food policy councils offer a forum for diverse organizations and individuals to examine the conditions of a state's food system and recommend policy improvements, this research aims to explore how food policy councils work, what benefits they might create, and what states could expect from food policy councils. Based on the experiences of eight state level FPCs, this research shows that councils can increase awareness about food system issues; guide food policy to address the root of food-related problems and concerns; and increase communication and coordination between government agencies and a variety of organizations and individuals. Taken together, these initial effects indicate that FPCs play a role in addressing problems within the food system while laying the groundwork for integrated food systems planning at the state level. In addition, this paper argues for the inclusion of planner s as stakeholders in food policy councils as well as the inclusion of food systems in the planner's agenda.

description: We calculate persistent current of one-dimensional rings of fermions neglecting the spin degrees of freedom considering only nearest-neighbor Coulomb interactions with different electron fillings in both ordered and disordered cases. We treat the interaction exactly and find eigenenergies by exact diagonalization of many-body Hamiltonian and compute persistent current by numerical derivative method. We also determine Drude weight to estimate the conducting nature of the system. From our numerical results, we obtain a metal-insulator transition in half-filled case with increasing correlation strength U but away from half-filling no such transition is observed even for large U.

description: This paper addresses a long standing problem, the counting of the microstates of supersymmetric asymptotically AdS black holes in terms of a holographically dual field theory. We focus on a class of asymptotically AdS$_4$ static black holes preserving two real supercharges which are dual to a topologically twisted deformation of the ABJM theory. We evaluate in the large $N$ limit the topologically twisted index of the ABJM theory and we show that it correctly reproduces the entropy of the AdS$_4$ black holes. An extremization of the index with respect to a set of chemical potentials is required. We interpret it as the selection of the exact R-symmetry of the superconformal quantum mechanics describing the horizon of the black hole.

description: The purpose of this study is to analyze both the energy development and energy planning efforts of American Indian communities. The study analyzes what energy resources are currently being developed on tribal lands, who is developing these resources, what regions particular resources are being developed, and why tribes are developing these energy resources. The study also analyzes aspects of tribal energy plans in addition to energy related policies and incentives offered by tribes. The main source of information for this study comes from a survey sent to tribal leaders and to tribal employees working on energy issues and asked them to describe and classify their tribe's energy planning and development efforts. Overall this study is intended to provide a status report on tribal energy planning and development and examine the future implications of these efforts. The main research questions include; what are the impetuses and conditions under which tribes develop some type of energy plan or energy resources, what issues are connected to the energy plans and energy development, how are the plans being used, and what are the cross tabulations and correlations between energy resource development and planning strategies.

description: In this paper, we introduce a new higher-order directional derivative and higher-order subdifferential of Hadamard type of a given proper extended real function. This derivative is harmonized with the classical higher-order Fréchet directional derivative in the sense that both derivatives of the same order coincide if the last one exists. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of order $n$ ($n$ is a positive integer) for a local minimum and isolated local minimum of order $n$ of the given function in terms of these derivatives and subdifferentials. We do not require any restrictions on the function in our results. A notion of a higher-order critical direction is introduced. It is applied in the characterizations of the isolated local minimum of order $n$. Higher-order invex functions are defined. They are the largest class such that our necessary conditions for local minima are sufficient for global one. We compare our results with some previous ones. As an application, we improve a result due to V. F. Demyanov, showing that the condition introduced by this author is a complete characterization of isolated local minimizers of order $n$.

High road community economic development strategy for rural communities: a case study of sustainable agriculture in Chatham County, North Carolina
Creators: name: Howe, Mari Lee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This paper examines the reasons why economic development professionals consider supporting sustainable agriculture and local food systems as strategies for locally based, community driven economic development in rural areas. The first two chapters will explore the economic, social, and environmental rationales for sustainable agriculture and local food systems as an economic development strategy, in theoretical terms. The next two chapters will then apply this rationale to a case study of Chatham County, North Carolina, to evaluate how well sustainable food systems work as a development strategy in practice, given the theoretical rationale established in the first half of this paper. The final chapter concludes by offering strategic recommendations for improving Chatham County's sustainable food system.

Federal Policy Tools to Improve Food Access: Examining the Impact of the Healthy Food Financing Initiative
Creators: name: Packer, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This paper provides an overview of the Healthy Food Financing Initiative, a policy tool created by the Obama Administration in 2010 designed to open more grocery stores in food desert neighborhoods. An analysis of HFFI award capture and USDA estimates of food access at the Census tract level reveal that the policy is not targeting the areas most in need. A qualitative case study of a food cooperative store opening in a low-income neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina reveals barriers faced by actors trying to access HFFI funds. The case also highlights factors that enabled the coop's success, namely well-organized community groups, a non-profit champion, and supportive financing from community development financial institutions. The paper concludes with recommendations· to improve HFFI's effectiveness, as well as a discussion of the policy's political future.

Measuring the Accuracy of Bus Rapid Transit Forecasts: An analysis of cost and ridership estimates for bus rapid transit projects
Creators: name: Perry, John
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The research of Dr. Bent Flyvbjerg in the 1990s and early 2000s showed that urban rail projects often cost more than estimated and carried fewer riders, a troubling trend suggesting that the planning forecasts for urban rail projects were too optimistic. Inspired by that research, this analysis seeks to extend that work to analyze bus rapid transit projects.
A study of forecasted versus actual costs and ridership was conducted for eighteen bus rapid transit projects in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Of the seventeen projects for which cost data could be found, the cost projections for seven were within 5% of the actual cost, illustrating that the cost projections for these projects tended to be more accurate than the urban rail forecasts Flyvbjerg studied. However, these projects still leaned towards under estimating the final cost, with eight exceeding the projected cost by at least 5%, compared to only two that underestimated it by at least 5%. Ridership projections were evenly distributed between those that over or under estimated the actual ridership, but tended to be far more inaccurate than the cost projections; of the fourteen projects for which ridership data could be found, the actual ridership for only four of those projects came within 10% of what was forecast. Further research would be necessary to see if these trends hold true for other bus rapid transit projects as it becomes a more popular technological choice for rapid transit investment around the world, but this analysis suggests that current forecasting methods may leave much to be desired.

description: We examine the internal consistency of the Planck 2015 cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropy power spectrum. We show that tension exists between cosmological constant cold dark matter (LCDM) model parameters inferred from multipoles l<1000 (roughly those accessible to Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe), and from l>=1000, particularly the CDM density, Omega_ch^2, which is discrepant at 2.5 sigma for a Planck-motivated prior on the optical depth, tau=0.07+/-0.02. We find some parameter tensions to be larger than previously reported because of inaccuracy in the code used by the Planck Collaboration to generate model spectra. The Planck l>=1000 constraints are also in tension with low-redshift data sets, including Planck's own measurement of the CMB lensing power spectrum (2.4 sigma), and the most precise baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale determination (2.5 sigma). The Hubble constant predicted by Planck from l>=1000, H_0=64.1+/-1.7 km/s/Mpc, disagrees with the most precise local distance ladder measurement of 73.0+/-2.4 km/s/Mpc at the 3.0 sigma level, while the Planck value from l<1000, 69.7+/-1.7 km/s/Mpc, is consistent within 1 sigma. A discrepancy between the Planck and South Pole Telescope (SPT) high-multipole CMB spectra disfavors interpreting these tensions as evidence for new physics. We conclude that the parameters from the Planck high-multipole spectrum probably differ from the underlying values due to either an unlikely statistical fluctuation or unaccounted-for systematics persisting in the Planck data.

Towards a self-consistent halo model for the nonlinear large-scale structure
Creators: name: Schmidt, Fabian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The halo model is a theoretically and empirically well-motivated framework for predicting the statistics of the nonlinear matter distribution in the Universe. However, current incarnations of the halo model suffer from two major deficiencies: $(i)$ they do not enforce the stress-energy conservation of matter; $(ii)$ they are not guaranteed to recover exact perturbation theory results on large scales. Here, we provide a formulation of the halo model ("EHM") that remedies both drawbacks in a consistent way, while attempting to maintain the predictivity of the approach. In the formulation presented here, mass and momentum conservation are guaranteed on large scales, and results of perturbation theory and the effective field theory can in principle be matched to any desired order on large scales. We find that a key ingredient in the halo model power spectrum is the halo stochasticity covariance, which has been studied to a much lesser extent than other ingredients such as mass function, bias, and profiles of halos. As written here, this approach still does not describe the transition regime between perturbation theory and halo scales realistically, which is left as an open problem. We also show explicitly that, when implemented consistently, halo model predictions do not depend on any properties of low-mass halos that are smaller than the scales of interest.

Which type of citation analysis generates the most accurate taxonomy of scientific and technical knowledge?

description: In 1965, Derek de Solla Price foresaw the day when a citation-based taxonomy of science and technology would be delineated and correspondingly used for science policy. A taxonomy needs to be comprehensive and accurate if it is to be useful for policy making, especially now that policy makers are utilizing citation-based indicators to evaluate people, institutions and laboratories. Determining the accuracy of a taxonomy, however, remains a challenge. Previous work on the accuracy of partition solutions is sparse, and the results of those studies, while useful, have not been definitive. In this study we compare the accuracies of topic-level taxonomies based on the clustering of documents using direct citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-citation. Using a set of new gold standards - articles with at least 100 references - we find that direct citation is better at concentrating references than either bibliographic coupling or co-citation. Using the assumption that higher concentrations of references denote more accurate clusters, direct citation thus provides a more accurate representation of the taxonomy of scientific and technical knowledge than either bibliographic coupling or co-citation. We also find that discipline-level taxonomies based on journal schema are highly inaccurate compared to topic-level taxonomies, and recommend against their use.

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Properties and Access to Transit in the Triangle Region
Creators: name: Messinger, Adena
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: An important strategy of federal, state and local housing agencies for improving the quality of life of low-income housing residents is helping these residents locate in mixed-income, low-minority neighborhoods. Such a strategy often implies moving from urban to suburban areas, and by extension from transit-rich to transit-poor areas. Reduced transit access for low-income families is not an insignificant trade-off, as transportation is the second largest line item in a household's budget--primarily because of the associated costs of fuel, insurance, loan payments, and maintenance. This paper examines the relationship between low-income housing and public transportation, in particular for the federally sponsored Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program. The geographic focus of the study is the Research Triangle region in North Carolina, which includes the metropolitan areas of Orange, Durham, and Wake counties. The data analysis indicates that the current spatial pattern of LIHTC properties have basic accessibility to transit (i.e., are within a quarter-mile of a transit line). However, locational trends are shifting such that more LIHTC properties are being developed farther from transit lines, jeopardizing transit access for LIHTC residents. The major implication for the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency--the agency that sets the tax credit award criteria--is an opportunity to emphasize the importance of transit access as a means to both better serve low-income housing residents and fund more desirable developments (in particular LIHTC properties slated for urban areas. At the same time, the results suggest that transit agencies should recognize and act on the importance of low-income housing locations when considering expansion of existing services.

THE USE OF REEDS (PHRAGMITES AUSTRALIS) IN ARTIFICIAL SWAMP SYSTEMS IN THE CONDITIONS OF KARAKALPAKSTAN
Creators: name: Rustamova, Sevara
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Karakalpakstan, a region located in Uzbekistan, faces significant environmental challenges primarily stemming from water scarcity and pollution. The Aral Sea's shrinking has exacerbated these issues, leading to a pressing need for sustainable water management solutions. As the local ecosystems struggle to cope with these changes, innovative approaches to restoring and maintaining water quality have become essential. One promising solution is the creation of artificial swamp systems, which can significantly improve water treatment processes while providing ecological benefits. Among various plant species suitable for these systems, Phragmites australis, commonly known as common reed, stands out due to its remarkable adaptability and resilience in challenging environments.

description: PSR J1357$-$6429 is a young radio pulsar that was detected in X-rays and $γ$-rays. We present the high spatial resolution near-infrared imaging of the pulsar field in $J$, $H$ and $K_s$ bands obtained with the VLT/NaCo using the Adaptive Optic system. We found a faint source at the most precise pulsar radio position which we propose as the pulsar near-infrared counterpart candidate. It is confidently detected in the $J$ and $K_s$ bands, with $J$ = 23.51$\pm$0.24 and $K_s$ = 21.82$\pm$0.25. There is a hint of the source in the $H$ band with an upper limit $H$ $>$ 22.8. The dereddened source fluxes are compatible with the extrapolation of the pulsar X-ray spectrum towards the near-infrared. If the candidate is the true counterpart, by this property PSR J1357$-$6429 would be similar to the nearby middle-age pulsar PSR B0656+14. In this case, both pulsars demonstrate an unusually high near-infrared efficiency relative to the X-ray efficiency as compared to other pulsars detected in both ranges.

Building Better Cities Through Design Regulations: Form-Based Zoning and Accommodating Design Concerns With Land Use
Creators: name: Mann, Joel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Planners, developers, and laypeople alike recognize that, for all its good intentions, conventional Euclidean zoning in the United States has not been without its shortcomings. Even as it has regulated land use to protect public health and welfare, zoning has had a cumulatively negative impact on the American built environment. The strict segregation of land uses prescribed by zoning, combined with rigid controls on development in the zones themselves has created “balkanized” patterns of development that prohibits the adjacency and mixtures of uses even when such diversity would be more desirable (Reps 1964). Rather than yield a cohesive urban environment, zoning has too often produced a fragmented city fabric (American Society of Planning Officials 1968; Reps 1964). It has become clear that an alternative to this type of zoning is needed. But how can planning for growth address the consequences of development management systems while also regulating the appearance and impact of development on the physical environment? How can these concerns be accommodated within the technical, rational, and legal mandate of Euclidean zoning? The following discussion examines the concept of form-based zoning, or regulating how land is to be developed based on the form of the built environment and the individual structures that constitute ‘development.’ Formbased zoning emphasizes urban design and physical planning over a simplistic segregation of use alone. It is based on the idea that the development of standards for urban design is vital to achieve such planning ideals as establishing identity, creating a sense of place, and developing efficient infrastructure and facilities with multiple uses. It is important to recognize that design-oriented zoning is a nascent and still conceptual alternative to traditional zoning that segregates solely by land use. While the concerns for public health, welfare and safety have adequately justified traditional zoning, the ability of this system to address aesthetics, appearance, and the visual aspects of the built environment is severely limited. Any concerted efforts to address these visual aspects— whether on the part of government or private development—must obey the same zoning regulations that pay no attention to design. In other words, well-designed development is proposed and regulated through the same zoning systems as development that is proposed without respect to aesthetic and design issues, and it is the latter form of development that traditional zoning has been designed to accommodate with its technical specifications.

We demonstrate that both the emerging polariton chirality and the loop Feynman diagrams up to infinite order should be strictly accounted for in the evaluation of the self-energy of the system. Further, we explicitly show that in such a design the time of polariton scattering towards the Dirac points can be drastically decreased which can be used, for instance, in engineering novel classes of polariton lasers with substantially reduced thresholds.

description: We study Yang-Baxter deformations of the Nappi-Witten model with a prescription invented by Delduc, Magro and Vicedo. The deformations are specified by skew-symmetric classical $r$-matrices satisfying (modified) classical Yang-Baxter equations. We show that the sigma-model metric is invariant under arbitrary deformations (while the coefficient of $B$-field is changed) by utilizing the most general classical $r$-matrix. Furthermore, the coefficient of $B$-field is determined to be the original value from the requirement that the one-loop $β$-function should vanish. After all, the Nappi-Witten model is the unique conformal theory within the class of the Yang-Baxter deformations preserving the conformal invariance.

Short Range Transit Plan for Chapel Hill Transit: Fiscal Years 2006-07--2010-11
Creators: name: Ohlms, Peter
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Chapel Hill Transit provides fixed-route, demand-responsive and special events services for the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This short-range transit plan is intended to guide decisions over a five-year time period. The planning period for this plan is from Fiscal Year (FY) 2006-07 through 2010-11. In sum, this plan outlines an estimated $9.12 million in weekday daytime service improvements for Chapel Hill Transit, including coverage expansions, headway reductions, service-hour increases and productivity enhancements. Completing all service improvements outlined in this plan would require the operation of an additional 69 peak-hour buses, more than doubling the current peak bus usage. Midday operations would rise from 27 buses in FY 2004-05 to 52. Table I.1 (from Chapter 3 but reproduced here) lays out one possible application of the plan in terms of peak buses needed. Restructuring evening services would take an additional 4 to 10 buses, depending on the time of evening, while Saturday and Sunday operations add another 4 and 9 buses, respectively. The plan provides general recommendations and detailed analyses of current conditions. It should be used as a basis for decision-making, including further analysis when necessary.

The rotation and Galactic kinematics of mid M dwarfs in the Solar Neighborhood

description: Rotation is a directly-observable stellar property, and drives magnetic field generation and activity through a magnetic dynamo. Main sequence stars with masses below approximately 0.35Msun (mid-to-late M dwarfs) are fully-convective, and are expected to have a different type of dynamo mechanism than solar-type stars. Measurements of their rotation rates provide insights into these mechanisms, but few rotation periods are available for these stars at field ages. Using photometry from the MEarth transit survey, we measure rotation periods for 387 nearby, mid-to-late M dwarfs in the Northern hemisphere, finding periods from 0.1 to 140 days. The typical detected rotator has stable, sinusoidal photometric modulations at a semi-amplitude of 0.5 to 1%. We find no period-amplitude relation for stars below 0.25Msun and an anti-correlation between period and amplitude for higher-mass M dwarfs. We highlight the existence of older, slowly-rotating stars without Hα emission that nevertheless have strong photometric variability. The Galactic kinematics of our sample is consistent with the local population of G and K dwarfs, and rotators have metallicities characteristic of the Solar Neighborhood. We use the W space velocities and established age-velocity relations to estimate that stars with P<10 days are on average <2 Gyrs, and that those with P>70 days are about 5 Gyrs. The period distribution is mass dependent: as the mass decreases, the slowest rotators at a given mass have longer periods, and the fastest rotators have shorter periods. We find a lack of stars with intermediate rotation periods. [Abridged]

description: The tunability of an optical cavity is an essential requirement for many areas of research. Here, we use the Pound-Drever-Hall technique to lock a laser to a whispering gallery mode (WGM) of a microbubble resonator, to show that linear tuning of the WGM, and the corresponding locked laser, display almost zero hysteresis. By applying aerostatic pressure to the interior surface of the microbubble resonator, optical mode shift rates of around $58$ GHz/MPa are achieved. The microbubble can measure pressure with a detection limit of $2\times 10^{-4}$ MPa, which is an improvement made on pressure sensing using this device. The long-term frequency stability of this tuning method for different input pressures is measured. The frequency noise of the WGM measured over $10$ minutes for an input pressure of $0.5$ MPa, has a maximum standard deviation of $36$ MHz.
