Radon-222 Concentrations in North Carolina Household Groundwater Supplies
Creators: name: Mabry, Allen M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: A survey of randomly selected households served by groundwater was conducted to characterize radon-222 concentrations in groundwater-derived drinking water supplies in North Carolina. Groundwater sources in North Carolina had previously been analyzed for radon-222 by other researchers, but a random survey had never been attempted. The investigation included regional comparisons of radon-222 concentrations, characterization of the distribution of concentrations, and a comparison of the indoor airborne concentration to the waterborne concentration for each household. One hundred and seventy-four homes were successfully surveyed. The statewide average concentration was 2,229 pCi/l. The eastern region of the state had a markedly lower average concentration of 337 pCi/l. Sixty-eight percent of the measured concentrations were above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's proposed maximum contaminant level of 300 pCi/l. The comparison of indoor airborne concentrations to waterborne concentrations revealed a weak linear relationship between them.

description: The Borrmann effect is the anomalous transmission of x rays in perfect crystals under diffraction conditions. It arises from the interference of the incident and diffracted waves, which creates a standing wave with nodes at strongly absorbing atoms. Dipolar absorption of x rays is thus diminished, which makes the crystal nearly transparent for certain x-ray wave vectors. Indeed, a relative enhancement of electric quadrupole absorption via the Borrmann effect has been demonstrated recently. Here we show that the Borrmann effect has a significantly larger impact on resonant x-ray emission than is observable in x-ray absorption. Emission from a dipole forbidden intermediate state may even dominate the corresponding x-ray spectra. Our work extends the domain of x-ray standing wave methods to resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy and provides means for novel spectroscopic experiments in d- and f-electron systems.

The Detection of Temporal Changes in the Physiological Characteristics of the Activated Sludge in an Industrial Wastewater Treatment System using a Modified Biolog Identification System
Creators: name: Barbee, Stephen V.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: The purpose of the study was to determine if the Biolog identification system could be adapted to detect physiological changes in the composite microbial community of activated sludge in an industrial wastewater treatment system. The detected temporal changes were correlated with other microbial characterization methods. Composite community samples were tested over time using Biolog titre plates. The results of the communities were compared with each other to 1) obtain an index of similarity with regard to their ability and inability to utilize the 95 substrates that are a part of the Biolog profile, and 2) ascertain shifts in the overall physiological capabilities of the community for the strict utilization of the 95 substrates. The results suggest that the Biolog identification system can be used to detect changes in the activated sludge microbial community. Other indices of community structure support the Biolog indications of community change.

description: We investigate the effect of order parameter fluctuations in the holographic superconductor. In particular, using a fully backreacted bulk geometry, the intrinsic spectral functions of the order parameter in both the normal and the superconducting phase are computed. We also present a vector-like large-$N$ version of the Ginzburg-Landau model that accurately describes our long-wavelength results in both phases. The large-$N$ limit of the latter model explains why the Higgs mode and the second-sound mode are not present in the spectral functions. Our results indicate that the holographic superconductor describes a relativistic multi-component superfluid in the universal regime of the BEC-BCS crossover.

description: In low-rank matrix recovery, one aims to reconstruct a low-rank matrix from a minimal number of linear measurements. Within the paradigm of compressed sensing, this is made computationally efficient by minimizing the nuclear norm as a convex surrogate for rank. In this work, we identify an improved regularizer based on the so-called diamond norm, a concept imported from quantum information theory. We show that -for a class of matrices saturating a certain norm inequality- the descent cone of the diamond norm is contained in that of the nuclear norm. This suggests superior reconstruction properties for these matrices. We explicitly characterize this set of matrices. Moreover, we demonstrate numerically that the diamond norm indeed outperforms the nuclear norm in a number of relevant applications: These include signal analysis tasks such as blind matrix deconvolution or the retrieval of certain unitary basis changes, as well as the quantum information problem of process tomography with random measurements. The diamond norm is defined for matrices that can be interpreted as order-4 tensors and it turns out that the above condition depends crucially on that tensorial structure. In this sense, this work touches on an aspect of the notoriously difficult tensor completion problem.

description: We present a detailed discussion of entanglement entropy in (1+1)-dimensional Warped Conformal Field Theories (WCFTs). We implement the Rindler method to evaluate entanglement and Renyi entropies for a single interval and along the way we interpret our results in terms of twist field correlation functions. Holographically a WCFT can be described in terms of Lower Spin Gravity, a SL(2,R)xU(1) Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions. We show how to obtain the universal field theory results for entanglement in a WCFT via holography. For the geometrical description of the theory we introduce the concept of geodesic and massive point particles in the warped geometry associated to Lower Spin Gravity. In the Chern-Simons description we evaluate the appropriate Wilson line that captures the dynamics of a massive particle.

description: Sie dient der Beobachtung der regionalen und überregionalen Kriminalität sowie einzelner Deliktsarten, des Umfangs und der Zusammensetzung des Tatverdächtigenkreises als auch der Veränderung von Kriminalitätsquotienten (Verhältniszahlen, die der vergleichenden Beurteilung der Kriminalität dienen). Weiterhin bietet sie eine Basis für die Erlangung von Erkenntnissen zur vorbeugenden und verfolgenden Kriminalitätsbekämpfung, für organisatorische Planungen und Entscheidungen sowie für kriminologisch-soziologische Forschungen und kriminalpolitische Maßnahmen. Sie ist somit ein wichtiges Instrument bei der Wahrnehmung verschiedener polizeilicher und kriminalpolizeilicher Aufgaben. Die PKS ist eine sogenannte Ausgangsstatistik. Das bedeutet, dass in der PKS nur die der Polizei bekannt gewordenen und durch sie endbearbeiteten Straftaten, einschließlich der mit Strafe bedrohten Versuche, abgebildet werden und eine statistische Erfassung erst bei Abgabe an die Staatsanwaltschaft (StA) oder das Gericht erfolgt. Zudem gibt sie Aufschluss über die Anzahl der ermittelten Tatverdächtigen und eine Reihe weiterer Angaben zu Fällen oder Opfern. Nicht enthalten sind Fälle der Politisch motivierten Kriminalität, Verkehrsdelikte sowie Ordnungswidrigkeiten. Die Aussagekraft der Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik wird jedoch durch verschiedene Einflussgrößen begrenzt. So wird in der PKS nur das sogenannte Hellfeld (der Polizei bekannt gewordene Kriminalität) erfasst. Aufgrund fehlender statistischer Daten kann das sogenannte Dunkelfeld - hierbei handelt es sich um die der Polizei nicht bekannt gewordene Kriminalität - in der PKS nicht abgebildet werden. Der Umfang dieses Dunkelfeldes hängt von der Art des Delikts ab und ändert sich unter dem Einfluss variabler Faktoren (zum Beispiel Anzeigebereitschaft der Bevölkerung oder Intensität der Verbrechensbekämpfung) im Zeitablauf. Es kann daher nicht von einer feststehenden Relation zwischen begangenen und statistisch erfassten Straftaten ausgegangen werden. Zudem kann die Vergleichbarkeit der Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik in bestimmten Deliktsbereichen durch Rechtsänderungen erheblich beeinträchtigt werden. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser Einflussgrößen ist die PKS ein wichtiges Instrument bei der Wahrnehmung polizeilicher Arbeit.

Comparative Survival of Hepatitis A Virus, Poliovirus, and Indicator Organisms in Geographically Diverse Seawaters
Creators: name: Callahan, Kathleen M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: In an effort to find suitable indicators of enteric viruses in seawater, we compared the survival of two groups of enteric bacteriophages, F-specific coliphages (FRNA coliphages) and somatic Salmonella (SS) bacteriophages, to the survival of two human enteric viruses, hepatitis A virus (HAV) and polio virus type 1 (PV-1), in coastal seawater from three geographic areas (So. California, Hawaii, and North Carolina) at 20°C. Concentrations of all four viruses decreased over 30 days from their initial titers and there was little difference in the survival of a particular virus among the three seawaters. However, the extent of reduction varied among the four viruses. Survival was greatest for the SS bacteriophages and HAV, while PV-1 and FRNA coliphages were inactivated more rapidly. The observed differences in virus survival suggest that SS bacteriophages are more persistent in seawater than other viruses and hence may be good indicators for enteric viruses in seawater. Additional investigations were conducted in an attempt to determine the component(s) of seawater that may cause the inactivation of viruses. Results indicate that proteolytic activity of indigenous marine microorganisms is a chief cause of PV-1 and FRNA coliphage inactivation. In contrast, proteolytic activity does not seem to be a dominant factor in the inactivation of HAV and SS phages in seawater.

Hybrid-Adaptive Switched Control for Robotic Manipulator Interacting with Arbitrary Surface Shapes Under Multi-Sensory Guidance

Surface following

description: Industrial robots rapidly gained popularity as they can perform tasks quickly, repeatedly and accurately in static environments. However, in modern manufacturing, robots should also be able to safely interact with arbitrary objects and dynamically adapt their behavior to various situations. The large masses and rigid constructions of industrial robots prevent them from easily being re-tasked. In this context, this work proposes an immediate solution to make rigid manipulators compliant and able to efficiently handle object interactions, with only an add-on module (a custom designed instrumented compliant wrist) and an original control framework which can easily be ported to different manipulators. The proposed system utilizes both offline and online trajectory planning to achieve fully automated object interaction and surface following with or without contact where no prior knowledge of the objects is available. To minimize the complexity of the task, the problem is formulated into four interaction motion modes: free, proximity, contact and a blend of those. The free motion mode guides the robot towards the object of interest using information provided by a RGB-D sensor. The RGB-D sensor is used to collect raw 3D information on the environment and construct an approximate 3D model of an object of interest in the scene. In order to completely explore the object, a novel coverage path planning technique is proposed to generate a primary (offline) trajectory. However, RGB-D sensors provide only limited accuracy on the depth measurements and create blind spot when it reaches close to surfaces. Therefore, the offline trajectory is then further refined by applying the proximity motion mode and contact motion mode or a blend of them (blend motion mode) that allow the robot to dynamically interact with arbitrary objects and adapt to the surfaces it approaches or touches using live proximity and contact feedback from the compliant wrist. To achieve seamless and efficient integration of the sensory information and smoothly switch between different interaction modes, an original hybrid switching scheme is proposed that applies a supervisory (decision making) module and a mixture of hard and blend switches to support data fusion from multiple sensing sources by combining pairs of the main motion modes. Experimental results using a CRS-F3 manipulator demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed method.

description: In this article, we present a model of heat transfer occurring through a li\-quid film flowing down a vertical wall. This new model is formally derived using the method of asymptotic expansions by introducing appropriately chosen dimensionless variables. In our study the small parameter, known as the film parameter, is chosen as the ratio of the flow depth to the characteristic wavelength. A new Nusselt solution should be explained, taking into account the hydrodynamic free surface variations and the contributions of the higher order terms coming from temperature variation effects. Comparisons are made with numerical solutions of the full Fourier equations in a steady state frame. The flow and heat transfer are coupled through Marangoni and temperature dependent viscosity effects. Even if these effects have been considered separately before, here a fully coupled model is proposed. Another novelty consists in the asymptotic approach in contrast to the weighted residual approach which have been formerly applied to these problems.

Musicology, Discourse, and the Performer’s Body: Understanding Music from the Inside

Embodiment

description: Current research in music scholarship appears to be trending towards the “embodied” yet from the vantage point of the performer this progression seems to be lacking a key component of such an embodied discourse: their voice. In this thesis I argue that the oversight of the performing body and its importance to the field of musicology is a result of conceptual dualities that attempt to conceal the body in its role within thought, culture, and meaning. Illustrating this oversight with the gaps in the current academic discourse, I show how many in the field either consider the body only in a metaphorical sense, or see the performer as an object of study. An examination of the contributions of three performer-scholars to this field demonstrates ways in which the gap can be filled, and lack addressed. Their approaches are then combined in an embodied analysis of Messiaen’s “Abîme des Oiseaux” from Quatour pour la Fin du Temps which reveals the potentialities of depth and breadth that can be considered when the performer’s body is permitted to be a site from which a musical analysis might originate. This thesis concludes that the performing body must be reintroduced into musicological discourse with a new understanding of its value, and that this can best be accomplished by addressing the “embodied” within the academic music curriculum, alongside traditional tonal and formal analyses.

description: Pannexin 1 (Panx1) and Pannexin 3 (Panx3) are single membrane channels recently implicated in myogenic commitment, as well as myoblast proliferation and differentiation in vitro. However, their expression patterns during skeletal muscle development and regeneration have yet to be investigated. Here, I show that Panx1 levels increase during development, becoming highly expressed in adult skeletal muscle. A switch in Panx3 expression pattern was observed as its ~70 kDa immunoreactive species was mainly expressed in embryonal and neonatal muscles while its ~40 kDa species was the main form expressed in adult skeletal muscle. In adult mice, Panx1 and Panx3 were differentially expressed in fast- and slow-twitch muscles. Interestingly, Panx1 and Panx3 levels were modulated in muscle degeneration/regeneration, similar to the pattern seen during skeletal muscle development. Since Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterized by skeletal muscle degeneration and impaired regeneration, I next used mild and severe mouse models of this disease and found a significant down-regulation of both Panx1 and the lower MM form of Panx3 in dystrophic skeletal muscles, with an increase in the ~70 kDa immunoreactive species of Panx3. I also found that Panx1/PANX1 and Panx3/PANX3 are co-expressed in mouse and human satellite cells, which play crucial roles in skeletal muscle regeneration. Indeed, in vitro PANX1 levels may be increasing during human primary satellite cell differentiation and blocking PANX1 channel activity with the pharmacological compounds probenecid or carbenoxolone inhibited the differentiation and fusion of these satellite cells into myotubes. In addition, satellite cell proliferation was inhibited by probenecid and carbenoxolone. These findings are the first to demonstrate that Panx1 and Panx3 are differentially expressed amongst skeletal muscle types with their levels being highly modulated during skeletal muscle development, regeneration and dystrophy. In addition to our laboratory’s previous reports, I now demonstrate that PANX1 levels may be modulated during satellite cell differentiation and that PANX1 channels regulate satellite cell differentiation and proliferation. Altogether, my studies suggest that Panx1/PANX1 and Panx3/PANX3 channels may play important and distinct roles in myoblasts and satellite cells in healthy and diseased skeletal muscles.
Complete Dissolution of Trichloroethylene in Saturated Porous Media
Creators: name: Arthur, Morris Howard

description: Porous media containing trichloroethylene(TCE) trapped at residual saturation in otherwise water-saturated porous media were flushed with water to assess the dissolution rate of TCE as TCE saturations approached zero. Careful attention to column design and experimental methods reduced the effect of column materials on effluent concentrations. Effluent concentration measurements during TCE dissolution are presented for a glass bead porous medium, a mixed sand , and a treated, natural soil. Effluent concentrations were measured as they decreased below 5 μg/l in the glass bead medium and the mixed sand medium. Effluent concentrations from columns packed with treated soil were measured down to 20 μg/l. Solvent extraction of the treated soil after the dissolution experiments revealed that extremely small quantities of TCE were retained in this medium. Results from parallel experiments on columns exposed only to aqueous TCE suggest that TCE remaining in the treated soil columns was in the sorbed phase. Existing power-law models were capable of describing TCE dissolution in these media, if the exponent on the TCE volume fraction was modified appropriately.
Analysis of Massive MIMO-Enabled Downlink Wireless Backhauling for Full-Duplex Small Cells

description: Using tools from stochastic geometry, we develop a framework to model the downlink rate coverage probability of a user in a given small cell network (SCN) with massive MIMO-enabled wireless backhauls. The considered SCN is composed of a mixture of small cells that are configured in either in-band or out-of-band backhaul modes with a certain probability. The performance of the user in the considered hierarchical network is limited by several sources of interference such as the backhaul interference, small cell base station (SBS)-to-SBS interference and the SI. Moreover, due to the channel hardening effect in massive MIMO, the backhaul links experience long term channel effects only, whereas the access links experience both the long term and short term channel effects. Consequently, the developed framework is flexible to characterize different sources of interference while capturing the heterogeneity of the access and backhaul channels. In specific scenarios, the framework enables deriving closed-form coverage probability expressions. Under perfect backhaul coverage, the simplified expressions are utilized to optimize the proportion of in-band and out-of-band small cells in the SCN in closed-form. Finally, few remedial solutions are proposed that can potentially mitigate the backhaul interference and in turn improve the performance of in-band FD wireless backhauling. Numerical results investigate the scenarios in which in-band wireless backhauling is useful and demonstrate that maintaining a correct proportion of in-band and out-of-band FD small cells is crucial in wireless backhauled SCNs.

description: The design of a road lighting system should be based on the knowledge of the actual luminance coefficient (in the direction of emission of road lighting luminaires and the direction of observation) for the actual road. Because the actual quantity of q is not known, nor is listed as reference values in the EN standard (it provides only the directions in which q should be known), designers use in the calculations as q reference values the ones given in CIE 144 scientific publication. These values have been established from measurements on several road surfaces made in the mid-1970s and are obviously not representative of current road surfaces nor have uncertainty values. The low reliability of the available q data is well known: to be sure to reach the luminance standard requirements and avoid controversy with the customers, designers introduce an heuristic over-dimensioning of the installed luminous flux which compensates for the supposed depreciation due to ageing. This guideline first presents quantities and practices of road lighting with a focus on road photometry. available data and measuring devices among SURFACE project are done in accordance with the bibliography. In the second part, review and suggestions on measurement procedures for on- site and laboratory measurements are presented. The last part of the guideline is on additional aspect including impact of spectral behaviour.

Weak Convergence Properties of Constrained Emphatic Temporal-difference Learning with Constant and Slowly Diminishing Stepsize

description: We consider the emphatic temporal-difference (TD) algorithm, ETD($λ$), for learning the value functions of stationary policies in a discounted, finite state and action Markov decision process. The ETD($λ$) algorithm was recently proposed by Sutton, Mahmood, and White to solve a long-standing divergence problem of the standard TD algorithm when it is applied to off-policy training, where data from an exploratory policy are used to evaluate other policies of interest. The almost sure convergence of ETD($λ$) has been proved in our recent work under general off-policy training conditions, but for a narrow range of diminishing stepsize. In this paper we present convergence results for constrained versions of ETD($λ$) with constant stepsize and with diminishing stepsize from a broad range. Our results characterize the asymptotic behavior of the trajectory of iterates produced by those algorithms, and are derived by combining key properties of ETD($λ$) with powerful convergence theorems from the weak convergence methods in stochastic approximation theory. For the case of constant stepsize, in addition to analyzing the behavior of the algorithms in the limit as the stepsize parameter approaches zero, we also analyze their behavior for a fixed stepsize and bound the deviations of their averaged iterates from the desired solution. These results are obtained by exploiting the weak Feller property of the Markov chains associated with the algorithms, and by using ergodic theorems for weak Feller Markov chains, in conjunction with the convergence results we get from the weak convergence methods. Besides ETD($λ$), our analysis also applies to the off-policy TD($λ$) algorithm, when the divergence issue is avoided by setting $λ$ sufficiently large.
