Assessment of Dune and Shore Protection Ordinances in New Jersey: Presented to Governor Thomas H. Kean and the Members of the New Jersey Legislature
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Coastal Resources
Year: 1984

description: This report describes the Department of Environmental Protection's response to a provision of the first appropriations bill enacted under the Shore Protection Bond Act of 1983. It describes state, federal, and municipal laws and the natural shorefront processes that affect the ocean shorefront. Its conclusions call for more cost effective State expenditures that concur with active programs to sensitively protect, and where necessary, create dunes. It also concludes that current dune ordinances are inadequate in this area and that future expenditures be conditioned upon municipal adoption and enforcement of an effective dune management program. A recommendation is included that the Legislature create a long term stable source of funding for shore protection.

Year: 2004

description: As reflected in Year 2000 Census data, New Jersey continues to increase in population. Accompanying that population growth has been significant changes to New Jersey's landscape. The rapid pace of development and land use change has resulted in a high demand for updated land use/land cover data to inform ongoing land use planning and growth management programs within New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and other state and local agencies. The objective of this research was to use medium scale satellite imagery to provide a consistent mapping of land use and land cover change as of Year 2000/2001 across the state, while exploring the applicability of using less-costly satellite imagery as a means to update NJDEP's air-photo based land use data. As a supplement to the research, this report is an assessment of the major trends in the land use changes occurring between 1995/1997 and Year 2000. This project provides an update to earlier work examining urban growth and land use change occurring between 1986 and 1995/1997 which was based on air-photo interpreted data for both time periods.

The art of building a smooth cosmic distance ladder in a perturbed universe

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: How does a smooth cosmic distance ladder emerge from observations made from a single location in a lumpy Universe? Distances to Type Ia supernovae in the Hubble flow are anchored on local distance measurements to sources that are very nearby. We described how this configuration could be built in a perturbed universe where lumpiness is described as small perturbations on top of a flat Friedmann-Lemaıtre Robertson-Walker spacetime. We show that there is a non-negligible modification (about 11\%) to the background Friedmann-Lemaıtre Robertson-Walker area distance due to the presence of inhomogeneities in the immediate neighbourhood of an observer. We find that the modification is sourced by the electric part of the Weyl tensor indicating a tidal deformation of the local spacetime of the observer. We show in detail how it could impact the calibration of the Type Ia supernova absolute magnitude in the Hubble flow. We show that it could potentially resolve the Type Ia supernova absolute magnitude and Hubble tensions simultaneously without the need for early or late dark energy.

description: The classical spin system consisting of three spins with Heisenberg interaction is an example of a completely integrable mechanical system. In this paper we explicitly calculate thermodynamic quantities as density of states, specific heat, susceptibility and spin autocorrelation functions. These calculations are performed (semi-)analytically and shown to agree with corresponding Monte Carlo simulations. For the long-time autocorrelation function, we find, for certain values of the coupling constants, a decay to constant values in the form of an $1/t$ damped harmonic oscillation and propose a theoretical explanation.

description: Energy harvesting battery-free embedded devices rely only on ambient energy harvesting that enables stand-alone and sustainable IoT applications. These devices execute programs when the harvested ambient energy in their energy reservoir is sufficient to operate and stop execution abruptly (and start charging) otherwise. These intermittent programs have varying timing behavior under different energy conditions, hardware configurations, and program structures. This paper presents Energy-aware Timing Analysis of intermittent Programs (ETAP), a probabilistic symbolic execution approach that analyzes the timing and energy behavior of intermittent programs at compile time. ETAP symbolically executes the given program while taking time and energy cost models for ambient energy and dynamic energy consumption into account. We evaluated ETAP on several intermittent programs and compared the compile-time analysis results with executions on real hardware. The results show that ETAP's normalized prediction accuracy is 99.5%, and it speeds up the timing analysis by at least two orders of magnitude compared to manual testing.

description: Our goal in this article is to elucidate the rapport of work and information in the context of a minimal quantum mechanical setup: A converter of heat input to work output, the input consisting of a single oscillator mode prepared in a hot thermal state along with few much colder oscillator modes. We wish to achieve heat to work conversion in the setup while avoiding the use of a working substance (medium) or macroscopic heat baths. The core issues we consider, taking account of the quantum nature of the setup, are: (i) How and to what extent can information act as work resource or, conversely, be redundant for work extraction? (ii) What is the optimal way of extracting work via information acquired by measurements? (iii) What is the bearing of information on the efficiency-power tradeoff achievable in such setups? We compare the efficiency of work extraction and the limitations of power in our minimal setup by unitary (reversible) manipulations and by different, generic, measurement strategies of the hot and cold modes. For each strategy the rapport of work and information extraction is found and the cost of information erasure is allowed for. The possibilities of work extraction without information acquisition, via non-selective measurements, are also analyzed. Overall, we present, by generalizing a method based on optimized homodyning that we have recently proposed, the following insight: extraction of work by observation and feedforward (WOF) that only measures a small fraction of the input, is clearly advantageous to the conceivable alternatives. Our results may become a basis of a practical strategy of converting thermal noise to useful work in optical setups, such as coherent amplifiers of thermal light, as well as in their optomechanical and photovoltaic counterparts.

description: A central part of population genomics consists of finding genomic regions implicated in local adaptation. Population genomic analyses are based on genotyping numerous molecular markers and looking for outlier loci in terms of patterns of genetic differentiation. One of the most common approach for selection scan is based on statistics that measure population differentiation such as $F_{ST}$. However they are important caveats with approaches related to $F_{ST}$ because they require grouping individuals into populations and they additionally assume a particular model of population structure. Here we implement a more flexible individual-based approach based on Bayesian factor models. Factor models capture population structure with latent variables called factors, which can describe clustering of individuals into populations or isolation-by-distance patterns. Using hierarchical Bayesian modeling, we both infer population structure and identify outlier loci that are candidates for local adaptation. As outlier loci, the hierarchical factor model searches for loci that are atypically related to population structure as measured by the latent factors. In a model of population divergence, we show that the factor model can achieve a 2-fold or more reduction of false discovery rate compared to the software BayeScan or compared to a $F_{ST}$ approach. We analyze the data of the Human Genome Diversity Panel to provide an example of how factor models can be used to detect local adaptation with a large number of SNPs. The Bayesian factor model is implemented in the open-source PCAdapt software.

description: Investigation of dynamical excitations is difficult but crucial to the understanding of many exotic quantum phenomena discovered in quantum materials. This is particularly true for highly frustrated quantum antiferromagnets whose dynamical properties deviate strongly from theoretical predictions made based on the spin-wave or other approximations. Here we present a large-scale numerical calculation on the dynamical correlation functions of spin-$1/2$ triangular Heisenberg model using a state-of-the-art tensor network renormalization group method. The calculated results allow us to gain for the first time a comprehensive picture on the nature of spin excitation spectra in this highly frustrated quantum system. It provides a quantitative account for all the key features of the dynamical spectra disclosed by inelastic neutron scattering measurements for $\rm Ba_3CoSb_2O_9$, revealing the importance of the interplay between low- and high-energy excitations and its renormalization effect to the low-energy magnon bands and high-energy continuums. We identify the longitudinal Higgs modes in the intermediate-energy scale and predict the energy and momentum dependence of spectral functions along the three principal axes that can be verified by polarized neutron scattering experiments. Furthermore, we find that the spin excitation spectra weakly depend on the anisotropic ratio of the antiferromagnetic interaction.

description: New Jersey's Navesink Watershed Management Project began in 1981 with a question posed by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Can waters degraded through nonpoint pollution be improved? Federal, state, county, and municipal agencies; environmental groups; and civic organizations participated in a three-pronged strategy of reducing coliform bacteria from agricultural runoff, urban/suburban runoff, and boats. This report analyzes the impacts of watershed management in the Navesink on water quality, and provides suggestions for improving data collection to further such efforts. We then follow with a description of activities in the Navesink, with supporting information from other watershed management efforts in New Jersey. The report then discusses the findings from the case, and their potential implications for watershed management before concluding with a listing of recommendations that pertain to NJDEP and EPA.

Transport Properties of Dirac Ferromagnet

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a model ferromagnet based on the Dirac Hamiltonian in three spatial dimensions, and study its transport properties which include anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and anomalous Hall (AH) effect. This relativistic extension allows two kinds of ferromagnetic order parameters, denoted by $\bm{M}$ and $\bm{S}$, which are distinguished by the relative sign between the positive- and negative-energy states (at zero momentum) and become degenerate in the non-relativistic limit. Because of the relativistic coupling between the spin and the orbital motion, both $\bm{M}$ and $\bm{S}$ induce anisotropic deformations of the energy dispersion (and the Fermi surfaces) but in mutually opposite ways. The AMR is determined primarily by the anisotropy of the Fermi surface (group velocity), and secondarily by the anisotropy of the damping; the latter becomes important for ${\bm M}=\pm{\bm S}$, where the Fermi surfaces are isotropic. Even when the chemical potential lies in the gap, the AH conductivity is found to take a finite non-quantized value, $σ_{ij} = -(α/3π^2 \hbar) ε_{ijk} S_k $, where $α$ is the (effective) fine structure constant. This offers an example of Hall insulator in three spatial dimensions.

description: Topological quantum state described by the global invariant has been extensively studied in theory and experiment. In this letter, we investigate the relationship between \emph{Zitterbewegung} and the topology of systems that reflect the properties of the local and whole energy bands, respectively. We generalize the usual two-band effective Hamiltonian to characterize the topological phase transition of the spin-$J$ topological insulator. By studying \emph{Zitterbewegung} dynamics before and after topological phase transition, we find that the direction of quasiparticles' oscillation can well reflect topological properties. Furthermore, we develop a quantitative calculation formula for the topological invariant in the spin-$J$ Chern insulator and give the selection rule of the corresponding dynamics. Finally, we demonstrate that our theory is valid in different topological systems. The topological invariant can be represented by local dynamical properties of the high-symmetry points in the first Brillouin zone, which provides a new measurement method from the dynamical perspective.

description: We measure the tunneling rates and coupling coefficients for local Andreev, non-local Andreev and elastic cotunneling processes. The non-local Andreev process, giving rise to Cooper pair splitting, exhibits the same coupling coefficient as the elastic co-tunneling whereas the local Andreev process is more than two orders of magnitude stronger than the corresponding non-local one. Theory estimates describe the findings and explain the large difference in the non-local and local coupling arising from competition between electron diffusion in the superconductor and tunnel junction transparency.

Qualitative arguments, parameter studies as well as numerical simulations, show that the elongation of the charged jet filament is significantly reduced in the presence of a non-zero yield stress. This may have beneficial implications for the optimal design of future electrospinning experiments.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: The report considers decentralized or satellite plant processing of tomatoes as an alternative to conventional processing methods. An acreage distribution pattern typifying conditions for a California plant determined that cost savings exceeding $200,000 could be achieved by initially processing a portion of total raw product requirements at one optimally-located satellite. Addition of subsequent satellites yielded successively smaller cost reductions. Estimated plant establishment costs were approximately $1.2 million as of early 1974, while variable operating charges (labor and supplies) were about $150 per hour at capacity operation. Comparing cost savings with establishment costs for a model plant indicates an investment recovery period of about 5-1/2 years, and an internal annual rate of return of 12.7 percent for one satellite if satellite capacity replaces existing plant capacity. Return on investment is more attractive if satellites are used to expand productive capacity.

description: The subject of this paper is to investigate the weak regime covariant scalar-tensor-vector gravity (STVG) theory, known as the MOdified gravity (MOG) theory of gravity. First, we show that the MOG in the absence of scalar fields is converted into $Λ(t),G(t)$ models. Time evolution of the cosmological parameters for a family of viable models have been investigated. Numerical results with the cosmological data have been adjusted. We've introduced a model for dark energy (DE) density and cosmological constant which involves first order derivatives of Hubble parameter. To extend this model, correction terms including the gravitational constant are added. In our scenario, the cosmological constant is a function of time. To complete the model,interaction terms between dark energy and dark matter (DM) manually entered in phenomenological form. Instead of using the dust model for DM, we have proposed DM equivalent to a barotropic fluid. Time evolution of DM is a function of other cosmological parameters. Using sophisticated algorithms, the behavior of various quantities including the densities, Hubble parameter, etc. have been investigated graphically. The statefinder parameters have been used for the classification of DE models. Consistency of the numerical results with experimental data of $SneIa+BAO+CMB$ are studied by numerical analysis with high accuracy.

description: Large scale databases with high-quality manual annotations are scarce in audio domain. We thus explore a self-supervised graph approach to learning audio representations from highly limited labelled data. Considering each audio sample as a graph node, we propose a subgraph-based framework with novel self-supervision tasks that can learn effective audio representations. During training, subgraphs are constructed by sampling the entire pool of available training data to exploit the relationship between the labelled and unlabeled audio samples. During inference, we use random edges to alleviate the overhead of graph construction. We evaluate our model on three benchmark audio databases, and two tasks: acoustic event detection and speech emotion recognition. Our semi-supervised model performs better or on par with fully supervised models and outperforms several competitive existing models. Our model is compact (240k parameters), and can produce generalized audio representations that are robust to different types of signal noise.

description: The cold dark matter (CDM) model faces persistent challenges on small scales. In particular, taken at face value, the model significantly overestimates the number of satellite galaxies around the Milky Way. Attempts to solve this problem remain open to debate and have even led some to abandon CDM altogether. However, current simulations are limited by the assumption that dark matter feels only gravity. Here, we show that including interactions between CDM and radiation (photons or neutrinos) leads to a dramatic reduction in the number of satellite galaxies, alleviating the Milky Way satellite problem and indicating that physics beyond gravity may be essential to make accurate predictions of structure formation on small scales. The methodology introduced here gives constraints on dark matter interactions that are significantly improved over those from the cosmic microwave background.

description: Second-order topological insulator, which has (d-2)-dimensional topological hinge or corner states, has been observed in three-dimensional materials, but has yet not been observed in two-dimensional system. In this Letter, we theoretically propose the realization of second-order topological insulator in the van der Waals heterostructure of CoBr$_2$/Pt$_2$HgSe$_3$/CoBr$_2$. Pt$_2$HgSe$_3$ is a large gap $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulator. With in-plane exchange field from neighboring CoBr$_2$, a large band gap above 70 meV opens up at the edge. The corner states, which are robust against edge disorders and irregular shapes, are confirmed in the nanoflake. We further show that the second-order topological states can also be realized in the heterostructure of jacutingaite family $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological insulators. We believe that our work will be beneficial for the experimental realization of second-order topological insulators in van der Waals layered materials.

Our data and model emphasize on the partial depolarization of the spin current at each interface due to spin-memory loss. Our model reconciles the previously published spin Hall angle values and explains the different scaling lengths for the ferromagnetic damping and the spin Hall effect induced voltage.

description: It is a conventional wisdom that a left-hand microwave cannot efficiently excite the spin wave (SW) in ferromagnets, due to the constraint of angular momentum conservation. In this work, we show that the left-hand microwave can drive nonreciprocal SWs in the presence of a strong ellipticity-mismatch between the microwave and precessing magnetization. A critical frequency is predicted, at which the left-hand microwave cannot excite SWs. Away from it the SW amplitude sensitively depends on the ellipticity of left-hand microwaves, in sharp contrast to the case driven by right-hand ones. By tuning the microwave frequency, we observe a switchable SW non-reciprocity in a ferromagnetic single layer. A mode-dependent mutual demagnetizing factor is proposed to explain this finding. Our work advances the understanding of the photon-magnon conversion, and paves the way to designing diode-like functionalities in nano-scaled magnonics.

description: The aim of this paper is twofold. On one hand, generalizing some recent results obtained in the quaternionic setting, but using simpler techniques, we prove the generation theorems for semigroups in Banach spaces whose set of scalars belongs to the class of real alternative *-algebras, which includes, besides real and complex numbers, quaternions, octonions and Clifford algebras. On the other hand, in this new general framework, we introduce the notion of spherical sectorial operator and we prove that a spherical sectorial operator generates a semigroup that can be represented by a Cauchy integral formula. It follows that such a semigroup is analytic in time.

Failing Together: How Improv Theater Strengthens Communities and Helps Us Meet Our Need to Belong

subject: Need to belong

description: This thesis uses the writing template of longform journalism to focus on the political implications of improvisational theater as a means to learn how to navigate emotionally heightened or difficult conversations, build community, and create a sense of belonging. These experiences manifest due to the inherent expectation of vulnerability and trust in other improvisers. Thus, I will analyze the tenets of improvisational theater and relate them to different psychological theories that intersect with the need to belong. Through interviews, I will explore the communicative practices within an improv classroom/during performances. Then, I will argue that the interactions being had in an improv space teach social skills that help with uncertainty tolerance, mental flexibility, and subsequently create a positive impact on one's self-esteem and ability to interact with others.
Connecting the dots: A versatile model for the atmospheres of tidally locked Super-Earths

description: Radiative equilibrium temperatures are calculated for the troposphere of a tidally locked Super-Earth based on a simple greenhouse model, using Solar System data as a guideline. These temperatures provide in combination with a Newtonian relaxation scheme thermal forcing for a 3D atmosphere model using the dynamical core of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology global circulation model (MITgcm). Our model is of the same conceptional simplicity than the model of Held & Suarez (1994) and is thus computationally fast. Furthermore, because of the coherent, general derivation of radiative equilibrium temperatures, our model is easily adaptable for different planets and atmospheric scenarios. As a case study relevant for Super-Earths, we investigate a Gl581g-like planet with Earth-like atmosphere and irradiation and present results for two representative rotation periods of $P_{rot}$ = 10 days and $P_{rot}$ = 36.5 days. Our results provide proof of concept and highlight interesting dynamical features for the rotating regime 3 < $P_{rot}$ < 100 days, which was shown by Edson et al. (2011) to be an intermediate regime between equatorial superrotation and divergence. We confirm that the $P_{rot}$ = 10 days case is more dominated by equatorial superrotation dynamics than the $P_{rot}$ = 36.5 days case, which shows diminishing influence of standing Rossby- Kelvin waves and increasing influence of divergence at the top of the atmosphere. We argue that this dynamical regime change relates to the increase in Rossby deformation radius, in agreement with previous studies. However, we also pay attention to other features that are not or only in partial agreement with other studies, like, e.g., the number of circulation cells and their strength, the role and extent of thermal inversion layers, and the details of heat transport

description: Every countable group that does not contain a finitely generated subgroup of exponential growth imbeds in a finitely generated group of subexponential growth. This produces in particular the first examples of groups of subexponential growth containing the additive group of the rationals.

Two-Point Functions on Deformed Spacetime

description: We present a review of the one-loop photon ($Π$) and neutrino ($Σ$) two-point functions in a covariant and deformed $\rm U(1)$ gauge-theory on the 4-dimensional noncommutative spaces, determined by a constant antisymmetric tensor $θ^{μν}$, and by a parameter-space $(κ_f,κ_g)$, respectively. For the general fermion-photon $S_f(κ_f)$ and photon self-interaction $S_g(κ_g)$ the closed form results reveal two-point functions with all kind of pathological terms: the UV divergence, the quadratic UV/IR mixing terms as well as a logarithmic IR divergent term of the type $\ln(μ^2(θp)^2)$. In addition, the photon-loop produces new tensor structures satisfying transversality condition by themselves. We show that the photon two-point function in the 4-dimensional Euclidean spacetime can be reduced to two finite terms by imposing a specific full rank of $θ^{μν}$ and setting deformation parameters $(κ_f,κ_g)=(0,3)$. In this case the neutrino two-point function vanishes. Thus for a specific point $(0,3)$ in the parameter-space $(κ_f,κ_g)$, a covariant $θ$-exact approach is able to produce a divergence-free result for the one-loop quantum corrections, having also both well-defined commutative limit and point-like limit of an extended object.

Year: 2004

description: The State of New Jersey has identified several waterbodies in the Atlantic Water Region as being impaired by pathogens, as evidenced by the presence of fecal coliform concentrations in excess of the standards. This report establishes three TMDLs, which address fecal coliform in the identified waterbodies. These TMDLs include management approaches to reduce loadings of fecal coliform from various sources in order to attain applicable surface water quality standards. Implementation strategies to achieve SWQS are addressed in this report. This TMDL Report is consistent with the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA's) May 20, 2002 guidance document entitled: 'Guidelines for Reviewing TMDLs under Existing regulations issued in 1992,' (Sutfin, 2002) which describes the statutory and regulatory requirements for approvable TMDLs.
