description: Smectic liquid crystals are remarkable, beautiful examples of materials microstructure, with ordered patterns of geometrically perfect ellipses and hyperbolas. The solution of the complex problem of filling three-dimensional space with domains of focal conics under constraining boundary conditions yields a set of strict rules, which are similar to the compatibility conditions in a martensitic crystal. Here we present the rules giving compatible conditions for the concentric circle domains found at two-dimensional smectic interfaces with planar boundary conditions. Using configurations generated by numerical simulations, we develop a clustering algorithm to decompose the planar boundaries into domains. The interfaces between different domains agree well with the smectic compatibility conditions. We also discuss generalizations of our approach to describe the full three-dimensional smectic domains, where the variant symmetry group is the Weyl-Poincaré group of Lorentz boosts, translations, rotations, and dilatations.

Kelo v. City of New London: An Inadvertent Landmark Decision?

description: Land use issues generally are perceived as questions to be resolved by municipal and state governments. Local conditions shape these decisions, and courts usually defer to the judgment of local governments in determining how best to carry out land-use decisions and comprehensive planning efforts. Each land-use action of a local government, though, operates within a larger framework that is bounded by the federal constitution. The Fifth Amendment provides limits on landuse planning through its mandate that the government shall not deprive an individual of property unless it is for "public use" and "with just compensation." Commonly known as the "Takings Clause," this legal measure ensures that all levels of government cannot abuse their powers of land-use control and eminent domain. Most land-use controversies do not rise to the federal level, but takings jurisprudence over the past fifty years shows an increasing number of cases which involve questions of government overreaching onto private property rights. The recent Kelo v. City of New London decision (June 2005) adds to the growing line of case law that deals with property rights. Kelo's central issue involves whether a local government may use its powers of eminent domain to condemn property and sell or lease it to a private developer who is operating within a formal economic development plan created by the local government. Grossly simplified by the press as a contest between poor homeowners and a greedy government's desire to take their homes and give them to private developers, the case excited the popular imagination in a way that is odd for land-use decisions. Bolstered by the growing property rights movement and the emotional elements associated with removing individuals from their homes, the case mushroomed into a bipartisan cause that extended beyond the planning and real estate professions. The Supreme Court's decision in favor of New London prompted a national cry of outrage and led to a rush to tighten eminent domain laws at all levels. The strong reaction suggests that Kelo was a landmark case in the course of takings jurisprudence. Given a solid line of federal precedent, though, Kelo is not a remarkable decision. The backlash that it has engendered, though, is notable, and this fallout promises to have an immediate and direct impact on land-use planning and community development. Kelo's deference to land-use decisions made by local governments may have the unintended consequence of stripping these governments of important legal and financial tools needed for sound, comprehensive community planning.

Updated Size, Demographic & Health Characteristics of the U.S. Population with Reduced Access to Non-Emergency Medical Transportation & Practical Implications
Creators: name: Tepperberg, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Every year, millions of Americans miss or are delayed in accessing non-emergency medical (NEM) appointments due to transportation-related issues. Missed or delayed NEM appointments are unnecessarily costly to both the individual and the U.S. healthcare system. Improvements to access and availability of NEM transportation networks need to occur in order to increase attendance to NEM appointments for the population that is at highest risk of missing these appointments.This study aims to update the 2005 Hughes-Cromwick et al. study estimate of the size, demographic and health characteristics of the U.S. population that is delayed in accessing NEM care due to transportation issues. This study uses largely outdated data that is still widely cited in literature, articles, and policy. This information needs to be re-assessed and updated in order to more effectively inform arguments and policies for increased and more equitable NEMT options in the U.S.Statistical analysis of two national datasets, the National Health Interview Survey and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, yielded results indicating that the size of the U.S. population that is delayed in accessing NEM care due to issues with transportation is approximately 10,128,481 Americans, or 3.2% of the total U.S. population. This figure is larger than previous size estimates of this population and appears to reflect non-linear growth. The demographic and health characteristics of the target population are disproportionately minority, older and younger, and female, with a higher prevalence of acute and chronic medical conditions present in the population compared with the total U.S. population. These characteristics are similar to previous descriptions of this population, indicating that little change in the disparities present in this population has occurred over the past few decades. Study results overall indicate that more effective and realistic measures need to be taken to ensure that at-risk populations that miss or are delayed in accessing NEM appointments due to transportation are able to consistently receive the care that they need. This will ultimately save money for the health community and individual, and lead to more sustainable and improved health outcomes for this, and the total U.S. population.

Mount Olive Apartments: A Case Study on the Rehabilitation of Mount Olive School
Creators: name: Ludington, James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: Murray Gould, a developer and founder of Gould & Associates, worked at CP & L (Carolina Power and Line Company) for 16 years as a corporate tax investor. He oversaw a few of CP & L's development projects that were in partnership with developers where the use of tax credits was part corporate tax investment strategy. The equity for tax credits was a benefit for both CP & L and the developers as one of the main sources of funding for the development projects. Motivated for a change from the corporate working lifestyle, Murray Gould left CP & L to start his own development company, Gould & Associates, with an emphasis of using the tax credits as an investment tool for equity in his development projects. I reviewed one of his development projects, Mount Olive School Apartments, as shown in Exhibit 1, as a case study because the rehabilitation of the school was a successful mixed-use development project. The heart of the case study looked into the investment strategy of combining the Historic Tax Credits (HTC) and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to make Mount Olive High School rehabilitation financially feasible with residential and commercial uses. Mount Olive School was unique, located in a small town of eastern North Carolina better known for its national brand of relish pickle. The uniqueness made this case special to study further on North Carolina Housing Financing Agency role in providing LIHTC as a source of funding along with its Rental Production Program Loan (RPP Loan). There is a two-part approach in understanding the difference of the two tax credits, HTC and LIHTC in the case study. The first part emphasizes on the historical architecture of the high school building built in 1923 for the purpose of understanding how the rehabilitation of the school becomes qualified for HTC. The second part focuses on the criteria the North Carolina Housing Financing Agency has in its NCHFA 1999 Allocation Plan. Several sections of the allocation are stated to show the relationship between the developer's financial investment strategy and the requirements shaping the strategy.

description: We analytically study the lightcone limit of the conformal bootstrap equations for 4-point functions containing global symmetry currents and the stress tensor in 3d CFTs. We show that the contribution of the stress tensor to the anomalous dimensions of large spin double-twist states is negative if and only if the conformal collider physics bounds are satisfied. In the context of AdS/CFT these results indicate a relation between the attractiveness of AdS gravity and positivity of the CFT energy flux. We also study the contribution of non-Abelian conserved currents to the anomalous dimensions of double-twist operators, corresponding to the gauge binding energy of 2-particle states in AdS. We show that the representation of the double-twist state determines the sign of the gauge binding energy if and only if the coefficient appearing in the current 3-point function satisfies a similar bound, which is equivalent to an upper bound on the charge flux asymmetry of the CFT.

description: By using a hydrothermal method, we have successfully grown crystals of the newly discovered superconductor FeS, which has an isostructure of the iron based superconductor FeSe. The superconductivity appears at about 4.5K, as revealed by both resistive and magnetization measurements. It is found that the upper critical field is relatively low, with however an rather large anisotropy $Γ=[(dH_{c2}^{ab}/dT)/(dH_{c2}^{c}/dT)]_{T_c}\approx5.8$. A huge magnetoresistivity (290$\%$ at 9T and 10K, ${H}$ $\parallel$ c-axis) together with a non-linear behavior of Hall resistivity vs. external field are observed. A two-band model is applied to fit the magnetoresistance and non-linear transverse resistivity, yielding the basic parameters of the electron and hole bands.

description: Time-averaged two-point currents are derived and shown to be spatially invariant within domains of local translation or inversion symmetry for arbitrary time-periodic quantum systems in one dimension. These currents are shown to provide a valuable tool for detecting deformations of a spatial symmetry in static and driven lattices. In the static case the invariance of the two-point currents is related to the presence of time-reversal invariance and/or probability current conservation. The obtained insights into the wavefunctions are further exploited for a symmetry-based convergence check which is applicable for globally broken but locally retained potential symmetries.

description: In this paper, at first, we focus on a FRW universe in which the dark energy candidate satisfies the Polytropic equation of state and study thermodynamics of dark energy. Bearing the thermal fluctuation theorem in mind, we establish a relation between the thermal fluctuation of system and mutual interaction between the dark energy and dark matter. Generalization to a viscous Polytropic gas is also investigated. We point to a condition for decaying dark energy candidate into the dark matter needed for alleviating coincidence problem. The effects of dark energy candidates and their interactions with other parts of cosmos on the horizon entropy as well as the second law of thermodynamics are also addressed. Our study signals us to a correction term besides the Bekenstein entropy which carries the information of the dark energy candidate, its interaction with other parts of cosmos and its viscosity.

The Past, Present And Future Possibilities For River Street New Haven, CT
Creators: name: Pite, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: New Haven, Connecticut has lost much of it historic industrial development due to misguided urban renewal, deterioration and other factors. The River Street section of Fair Haven, a neighborhood of New Haven, contains unique industrial buildings from the late 19th and early 20th Century. Yet the buildings are in decay, a large portion of the land and buildings are vacant or underutilized, and scrap yards are also located along the street. Despite these conditions, some manufacturing and other businesses have succeeded on River Street. The River Street Municipal Development Plan seeks to save this area from further decay and blight and improve the conditions that exist today. Some steps have already been taken, but further efforts are needed to ensure that this historic landscape is preserved and the area becomes a place for the neighborhood, city, and others to enjoy. This paper will explore the historical conditions that led to the decline of River Street in the broader context of New Haven, the neighborhood context of Fair Haven and the immediate context of River Street. Then, I will present an analysis of the current condition of the River Street area and the progress of the Municipal Development Plan to date. I will also evaluate the existing concepts and design for the area with special attention to the layout of the streets, the waterfront park design, and the uses within the area. Finally, based on this analysis, I will present new options for the redevelopment of River Street through a series of renderings and plans. As this paper will illustrate, I feel that this area would most benefit from an increased mix of uses, infill development to erase the gaps in the urban fabric, streetscape improvements along River Street and the park and facade improvements to buildings not slated as part of the redevelopment.

Minding the Gaps': Managing Healthcare through Public-Private Partnerships in Urban and Rural North Carolina
Creators: name: Irons, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Since the turn of the 21st century, escalating healthcare costs and widening gaps in access to care have led the seemingly eternal discussion about an American healthcare crisis to a fever pitch. American employers suffer both from rising costs and complex human resource management challenges due to health-related diminished productivity and turnover. These binary effects are felt most acutely by smaller companies, which have less bargaining power with payers and providers of healthcare as well as a smaller employee base across which to diversify risk. In turn, rural communities, which rely heavily on small businesses to create jobs and economic growth, are struggling to support these businesses even as their local governments and non-profit organizations face similar pressure from healthcare costs. The social and economic implications for communities can be dramatic. A variety of tactics for managing healthcare costs and access are being explored by private businesses, industry associations, healthcare nonprofits, and the public sector. Many of these strategies attack the symptoms of the current crisis, including health benefit reductions or pure cost-cutting schemes. Partially fueled by the sense among employers and local policy makers that the source of healthcare problems lies at the federal level, and that large-scale structural change will be required in the industry for these issues to be resolved, these strategies are primarily viewed as a "band-aid" to fiscal and resource management challenges. There is evidence, however, of more systemic approaches to community-level healthcare issues. This paper briefly explores the visible outputs of the United States' current healthcare system, in particular the recent shifts in cost, quality, and access, and reviews the tactics utilized to manage these aspects of healthcare. To better understand the social and economic implications of this environment for communities, the paper then more fully examines the actual effects of this crisis in North Carolina. It appraises the approaches taken by public and private sector organizations to managing healthcare and then looks more closely at three examples of cross-sectoral partnerships in order to determine the main differences between urban and rural strategies. Ultimately, implications for future local policy making as well as community action are analyzed and areas for future research are outlined.

description: We present a new ternary free energy lattice Boltzmann model. The distinguishing feature of our model is that we are able to analytically derive and independently vary all fluid-fluid surface tensions and the solid surface contact angles. We carry out a number of benchmark tests: (i) double emulsions and liquid lenses to validate the surface tensions, (ii) ternary fluids in contact with a square well to compare the contact angles against analytical predictions, and (iii) ternary phase separation to verify that the multicomponent fluid dynamics is accurately captured. Additionally we also describe how the model here presented here can be extended to include an arbitrary number of fluid components.
Does preservation pay? A look at historic preservation as an alternative tool for economic development in small and rural communities in North Carolina
Creators: name: Davis, Fredrick Amos, II
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Economic development embodies a twofold definition. On the one hand, it can be thought of as a process and on the other an outcome. It serves dual roles, both as a pathway to create and secure wealth and well being for its constituents while simultaneously providing concrete measures of desired outcomes such as the number of additional jobs created, income growth, and the overall increase in the local governments’ tax base. These outcomes not only facilitate the planning process, but also serve as tools to evaluate and measure the success of economic development interventions. Private business development is one strategy that economic development planners use to grow a region’s wealth, tax and employment base. The traditional way of achieving this is by focusing on a region’s competitive advantage, building out its core strengths by industrial recruitment, or by filling gaps in a region’s economic base with diversification strategies. When assessing a community’s competitive advantage, the standard approach is to focus on the assets such as capital information, skill base, natural resources, and infrastructure. Less understood is a focus on a regions’ cultural and historical assets as a source of dynamic advantage. We know little about how these alternative approaches work in generating economic development and how they compare to the outcomes of the more traditional economic development planning process. In this paper I will examine the economic benefits of historic preservation as a viable alternative to traditional methods of economic development, especially new construction on a Greenfield site. This paper will also provide a model or framework that can be used by small towns or rural communities to weigh the pros and cons of historic preservation versus new construction. To do this, I will draw on the case of Gates County in North Carolina where officials are poised to launch a number of commercial and retail projects in the near future. I will also draw heavily upon a report published by Athens-Clarke County Unified Government and the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (1999).

description: We investigate whether formal property rights introduced in Benin through a land titling reform alleviate individuals’ internal constraints. We follow previous literature by measuring internal constraints as a set of different related concepts, namely: aspirations, pathways, locus of control and self-efficacy. We hypothesize higher levels of aspirations, pathways, locus of control, self-efficacy among individuals in Beninese villages where formal property rights have been formalized than in control villages without formal property rights.

description: Mobile source emissions are a significant contributor to the problem of air pollution in urban areas. While studies have analyzed the links between neighborhood design, travel behavior, and auto emissions, most of these studies are based on simulation models. This paper attempts to analyze the affect of neighborhood design on the total auto emissions produced by persons and households using data from a household travel survey conducted in 2002 in the Charlotte, North Carolina metropolitan area. Auto emissions were directly estimated using the distance traveled and model year of the vehicle used for each trip made by households in Mecklenburg County. Trip emissions were estimated for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC). Percentage of auto trips beginning with cold starts was also calculated. Emissions and cold starts were estimated at the person and household level in ordinary least squares regression models using socioeconomic variables and land use indicators aggregated at the census block group level as predictors. Controlling for socioeconomic factors, significant relationships between land use variables and predicted emissions and percentage of trips beginning with cold starts were found. Origin and destination walkability and local/regional accessibility and origin property values had the strongest relationships with person level per-trip emissions, though the relationships with origin and destination walkability and accessibility were somewhat confounding. For household-level per-trip emissions, distance from the home census block to the central business district and local/regional accessibility displayed small, positive relationships, while property values had a large negative association with predicted emissions.

Bus rapid transit

description: Extensive research developed recently has proven the relationship between the built environment and physical activity. Neo-traditional environments following new urbanist designs are likely to support pedestrian and cycling activity by providing good street connectivity, pedestrian amenities, land use mixture, and high densities. Innovative tools such as pedestrian audits and GIS have allowed researchers the use of disaggregated measures of the built environment at the micro-level. Despite the advent of these tools, the relationship with actual travel behavior, and furthermore, their effects on accessibility to mass transit systems has not been tested. Congestion, mobility and accessibility problems, as well air pollution in dense urban areas have proven that auto-oriented cities are not sustainable. Among mass transit systems, Bus Rapid Transit has emerged rapidly as a cost-effective alternative to mobility in urbanized areas. This project uses the successful case of Bogotá’s BRT to study the application of these innovative tools and test their relationship with the built environment at the micro-level. Important results drawn from the study show that when the built environment supports walking and biking activity, higher pedestrian activity at the micro-level and higher ridership volumes at the station level are attained. Furthermore, attributes such as sidewalk width and presence of traffic control devices are associated with higher pedestrian activity in the vicinity of transit stations, after controlling for socio-demographic characteristics. This study presents a demand model which includes attributes that were not accounted for in the past, constituting an important advance in travel behavior understanding.

Reducing Uncertainty of Nonpoint Source Nutrient Pollution Management Strategies with Adaptive Management

Subjects: Nonpoint source pollution

description: Nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is emerging as a critical water quality issue. Nonpoint sources are increasingly recognized both as causes of impairment and as presenting potential mitigation opportunities. However, due to the diffuse nature of NPS stressors, NPS loads are extremely complicated to model. For similar reasons, the benefits of NPS pollution reduction measures on receiving water bodies are also difficult to quantify. Governments need to manage NPS water pollution while they acquire better information about its sources and the effectiveness of various NPS pollution control strategies. Adaptive management is an approach to environmental management that enables environmental problems to be dealt with in the short term while uncertainty is reduced over the long term. Adaptive management is a promising way to address water quality impairments due partially or wholly to nonpoint sources. This paper describes how uncertainty currently inherent in the management of NPS pollution can be reduced through utilization of an adaptive management approach. The case examined is the development of nitrogen and phosphorous Total Maximum Daily Loads for the Upper New Hope Creek Arm of Jordan Lake, a reservoir in the Triangle region of North Carolina. The Upper New Hope Arm nutrient loads are largely from nonpoint sources, and there is significant uncertainty about the exact amounts of the loads and the degree that NPS control measures can be expected to reduce them. Jordan Lake stakeholders have broached the topic of using an adaptive approach to manage nonpoint sources in the Upper New Hope Arm. However, the component most crucial to an adaptive management strategy, a water quality monitoring network that will enable assessment of the management strategy, has not yet been drafted. Additional data that link water quality conditions to pollution prevention practices are needed to evaluate management modules and achieve water quality improvements efficiently.
