Seeking Good Sam: understanding community among full-time RVers
Creators: name: Parentin, K. M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This study sought to offer a better understanding of the culture of RVing by exploring how full-time RVers describe the community to which they belong. This study was conducted in the interpretive paradigm using symbolic interactionism as the guiding framework. In-depth interviews were conducted with sixteen individuals who spent at least six months of every year residing in their recreational vehicle. Data were collected at campgrounds located in the American Midwest. An understanding of the values and customs of full-timers was gained through these conversational interviews that may be described as a balance of commitment. This balance of commitment was illustrated along a continuum called the concept of parsimonious commitment. This concept suggested that interviewees acted economically with their commitment to the community of RVers.whereas full-time RVers committed as much as necessary to gain the benefits of their community while taking care not to commit so much as to forfeit the freedom and autonomy that made the lifestyle of RVing so pleasurable.

description: Theorem proving and model checking are powerful tools that can verify the logical correctness of today's ICs or find their hidden bugs. Today, the first computer-aided verification tools are becoming commercially available. They are based on methods that in many cases can reduce the complexity of verification (without sacrificing guaranteed correctness) to such a degree that it becomes computationally feasible. Among the most powerful of these methods are symbolic model-checking and homomorphic reduction, both of which represent a complex system in terms of a compact and computationally more tractable structure. Moreover, the two can be used together with a multiplicative reduction effect, since they work independently of one another. Of special importance is the fact that they each can be implemented automatically, so the task of reduction is programmed into the computer rather than presenting a burden to the design engineer

description: A recent paper computes near-optimal strategies for twoplayer no-limit Texas hold’em tournaments; however, the techniques used are unable to compute equilibrium strategies for tournaments with more than two players. Motivated by the widespread popularity of multiplayer tournaments and the observation that jam/fold strategies are nearoptimal in the two player case, we develop an algorithm that computes approximate jam/fold equilibrium strategies
in tournaments with three — and potentially even more players. Our algorithm combines an extension of ﬁctitious play to imperfect information games, an algorithm similar to value iteration for solving stochastic games, and
a heuristic from the poker community known as the Independent Chip Model which we use as an initialization. Several ways of exploiting suit symmetries and the use of custom indexing schemes made the approach computationally
feasible. Aside from the initialization and the restriction to jam/fold strategies, our high level algorithm makes no poker-speciﬁc assumptions and thus also applies to other multiplayer stochastic games of imperfect information.

description: We compute the 1-loop partition function for strings in $AdS_4\times\mathbb{CP}^3$, whose worldsheets end along a line with small cusp angles in the boundary of AdS. We obtain these 1-loop results in terms of the vacuum energy for on-shell modes. Our results verify the proposal by Lewkowycz and Maldacena in arXiv:1312.5682 for the exact Bremsstrahlung function up to the next to leading order in the strong coupling expansion. The agreement is observed for cusps distorting either the 1/2 BPS or the 1/6 BPS Wilson line.

description: This article focuses on the humanitarian non-governmental organization (NGO) CARE, Inc., and its transformation from a temporary non-profit agency working in post-war relief to Europe, to a permanent humanitarian enterprise delivering food aid and technical assistance to the so-called ‘developing world’. It analyses CARE’s shift from its early days as an American voluntary agency delivering food and consumer products (donated by private individuals in America) to individuals in Europe to a large NGO that co-operated closely with the US government in food-aid distribution to the Global South. Its expansion and professionalization was embedded in the development of new forms of public-private co-operation in humanitarian affairs, as well as in the overall setting of an emerging competitive ‘humanitarian charity market’ in the non-profit sector. In order to expand its organization and mission CARE implemented new and innovative business strategies and fostered the increasing ‘managerialization’ of its humanitarian activities. The article stresses the economic dimension of NGO activity as one perspective (among others) that helps us to better understand the complex dynamics of the ‘rise’ of humanitarian non-state players during the twentieth century.

description: High-velocity clouds consist of cold gas that appears to be raining down from the halo to the disc of the Milky Way. Over the past fifty years, two competing scenarios have attributed their origin either to gas accretion from outside the Galaxy or to circulation of gas from the Galactic disc powered by supernova feedback (galactic fountain). Here we show that both mechanisms are simultaneously at work. We use a new galactic fountain model combined with high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations. We focus on the prototypical cloud complex C and show that it was produced by an explosion that occurred in the Cygnus-Outer spiral arm about 150 million years ago. The ejected material has triggered the condensation of a large portion of the circumgalactic medium and caused its subsequent accretion onto the disc. This fountain-driven cooling of the lower Galactic corona provides the low-metallicity gas required by chemical evolution models of the Milky Way's disc.

description: The weak collisionality typical of turbulence in many diffuse astrophysical plasmas invalidates an MHD description of the turbulent dynamics, motivating the development of a more comprehensive theory of kinetic turbulence. In particular, a kinetic approach is essential for the investigation of the physical mechanisms responsible for the dissipation of astrophysical turbulence and the resulting heating of the plasma. This chapter reviews the limitations of MHD turbulence theory and explains how kinetic considerations may be incorporated to obtain a kinetic theory for astrophysical plasma turbulence. Key questions about the nature of kinetic turbulence that drive current research efforts are identified. A comprehensive model of the kinetic turbulent cascade is presented, with a detailed discussion of each component of the model and a review of supporting and conflicting theoretical, numerical, and observational evidence.

description: Hybrid systems with both discrete and continuous dynamics are an important model for real-world cyber-physical systems. The key challenge is to ensure their correct functioning w.r.t. safety requirements. Promising techniques to ensure safety seem to be model-driven engineering to develop hybrid systems in a well-defined and traceable manner, and formal verification to prove their correctness. Their combination forms the vision of verification-driven engineering. Often, hybrid systems are rather complex in that they require expertise from many domains (e. g., robotics, control systems, computer science, software engineering, and mechanical engineering). Moreover, despite the remarkable progress in automating formal verification of hybrid systems, the construction of proofs of complex systems often requires nontrivial human guidance, since hybrid systems verification tools solve undecidable problems. It is, thus, not uncommon for development and verification teams to consist of many players with diverse expertise. This paper introduces a verification-driven engineering toolset that extends our previous work on hybrid and arithmetic verification with tools for (1) graphical (UML) and textual modeling of hybrid systems, (2) exchanging and comparing models and proofs, and (3) managing verification tasks. This toolset makes it easier to tackle large-scale verification tasks.

description: We investigate dynamic properties of a plasma whose constituents are confining gluons resulting from the Gribov quantization. In a static formulation, this system reproduces qualitatively the pure-glue equation of state and thereby encodes crucial features of the phase transition. The dynamic description proposed in this work allows us to study non-equilibrium transport phenomena with the inclusion of confinement effects. In particular, we determine the non-equilibrium behaviour of the interaction measure (trace anomaly) and find the form of the bulk viscosity coefficient. The latter may be used in phenomenological applications to heavy-ion collisions.

Biological Responses to Ultraviolet Radiation and the Effect of Intra-S Checkpoint Inhibition on Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced Mutagenesis
Creators: name: Sproul, Christopher D.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Sunlight emits a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that includes ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths. It is widely accepted that the ultraviolet radiation (UVR) component is responsible for the mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of sunlight. UVR is further sub-divided into three wavelength ranges: UVC (100-280 nm), UVB (280-315 nm) and UVA (315-400 nm) and each of these induce differing types and proportions of DNA damage. Despite much research, there is debate about the relative contributions from different wavelengths in initiating and promoting mutagenesis and carcinogenesis. DNA damage responses have been widely characterized using UVC, which is effectively filtered out by the Earth's atmosphere, while comparatively fewer studies have been conducted utilizing UVA and UVB. The research reported here assessed the biological outcomes of irradiating human dermal fibroblasts with UVR of different wavelengths, using DNA damage dosimetry to allow comparison between different irradiation sources. Cylobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) and 6-4 pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproduct (6-4PP) densities were quantified and used as biomarkers following irradiation with lamps emitting UVA, UVB, or UVC. Comparing fluences that produced equal CPD densities, cytotoxicity, intra-S phase checkpoint response, and mutagenesis were assessed. Regardless of the source of UVR, results showed a striking similarity in the biological outcomes measured when exposures were compared on the basis of CPD dosimetry, suggesting that this UV-induced photolesion significantly contributed to the measured effect. The S-phase checkpoint response to UVR is a signaling cascade that recognizes damaged DNA or abnormal DNA structures and halts or slows new/ongoing DNA replication, potentially reducing the chance that damaged DNA will be replicated prior to its repair. Experiments reported here tested the hypothesis that this checkpoint is a protective system that reduces UVR-induced mutagenesis. Essential S-phase checkpoint components ATR or CHK1 were depleted using siRNA, or the CHK1 kinase pharmacologically inhibited using TCS2312, thereby inhibiting the S-phase checkpoint response to UVR. Subsequently, the UVR-induced mutation frequency at the HPRT locus was measured. Results showed that despite reversing the S-phase checkpoint response to UVR, the mutation frequency in the irradiated population was not increased, challenging the broadly accepted role of this signaling cascade in minimizing mutation burden.

Repair of base-base mismatches and four-base loops formed during meiotic recombination in S. cerevisiae
Creators: name: Stone, Jana E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: DNA mismatches are generated when heteroduplexes formed during recombination involve DNA strands that are not completely complementary. I used tetrad analysis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to examine the meiotic repair of a base-base mismatch and a four-base loop in a wild-type strain and in strains with mutations in genes implicated in DNA mismatch repair. Efficient repair of the base-base mismatch required Msh2p, Msh6p, Mlh1p, and Pms1p, but not Msh3p, Msh4p, Msh5p, Mlh2p, Mlh3p, Exo1p, Rad1p, Rad27p, or the proofreading exonuclease of DNA polymerase delta. Efficient repair of the four-base loop required Msh2p, Msh3p, Mlh1p, and Pms1p, but not Msh4p, Msh5p, Msh6p, Mlh2p, Mlh3p, Exo1p, Rad1p, Rad27p, or the proofreading exonuclease of DNA polymerase delta. I find evidence that a novel Mlh1p-independent complex competes with an Mlh1p-dependent complex for the repair of a four-base loop. I also found that the frequency and position of local double-strand DNA breaks affect the ratio of mismatch repair events that lead to gene conversion versus restoration of Mendelian segregation. Mutations in POL30, which encodes PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) in S. cerevisiae, increase the rate of mutations in vegetative cells. Collaborators found that mitotic recombination between homeologous sequences is slightly elevated in pol30-52 and pol30-201 strains. I showed that repair of base-base mismatches generated during meiotic recombination is decreased in both pol30 mutants; however, the repair defect associated with the hypomorphic pol30 mutants is not as severe as that observed when MSH2 is deleted. Aberrant segregation and crossovers are also decreased in the pol30 mutants. To address the role of ATP binding/hydrolysis in MMR-related processes, I examined mutations known to compromise the ATPase activity of Pms1p and Mlh1p. The results of these analyses confirm a differential requirement for the Pms1p ATPase activity in replication vs. recombination processes, while demonstrating that the Mlh1p ATPase activity is important for all examined MMR-related functions.

description: We examine the five-dimensional super-de Rham complex with $N = 1$ supersymmetry. The elements of this complex are presented explicitly and related to those of the six-dimensional complex in $N = (1, 0)$ superspace through a specific notion of dimensional reduction. This reduction also gives rise to a second source of five-dimensional super-cocycles that is based on the relative cohomology of the two superspaces. In the process of investigating these complices, we discover various new features including branching and fusion (loops) in the super-de Rham complex, a natural interpretation of "Weil triviality", $p$-cocycles that are not supersymmetric versions of closed bosonic $p$-forms, and the opening of a "gap" in the complex for $D > 4$ in which we find a multiplet of superconformal gauge parameters.

description: The input numerical aperture (NA) of multimode fiber (MMF) can be effectively increased by placing turbid media at the input end of the MMF. This provides the potential for high-resolution imaging through the MMF. While the input NA is increased, the number of propagation modes in the MMF and hence the output NA remains the same. This makes the image reconstruction process underdetermined and may limit the quality of the image reconstruction. In this paper, we aim to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the image reconstruction in imaging through MMF. We notice that turbid media placed in the input of the MMF transforms the incoming waves into a better format for information transmission and information extraction. We call this transformation as holistic random (HR) encoding of turbid media. By exploiting the HR encoding, we make a considerable improvement on the SNR of the image reconstruction. For efficient utilization of the HR encoding, we employ sparse representation (SR), a relatively new signal reconstruction framework when it is provided with a HR encoded signal. This study shows for the first time to our knowledge the benefit of utilizing the HR encoding of turbid media for recovery in the optically underdetermined systems where the output NA of it is smaller than the input NA for imaging through MMF.

description: How to improve the prediction skill of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) is a challenging but essential issue. This study examines the impact of the winter Tibetan Plateau (TP) snow cover (TPSC) on the subsequent EASM during the past two decades. Based on the high-resolution MODIS/Terra snow cover data, a new snow cover critical area (76°−83°E, 28°−35°N) is identified in the southwestern TP for the EASM seasonal prediction. Results show that the increase of the TPSC within this critical area during prior winter significantly increases summer precipitation over the Yangtze River Basin (YRB). The TPSC anomaly induces anomalous cooling in the overlying atmospheric column, leading to an anomalous cyclonic circulation in the upper troposphere. Such anomalous cyclonic circulation may further contribute to the local snow cover increase, and through such a snow-albedo feedback process, the excessive TPSC anomaly is strengthened and persists through the following summer. Coexisting with the positive anomalous TPSC, the South Asian High, the western Pacific Subtropical High, and the Subtropical Westerly Jet shift southward. A deep cyclonic circulation is induced in northeastern China by the excessive TPSC anomaly, which is reproduced in the linear baroclinic model simulation. Northerly flow is crucial for accumulating water vapour and favours more rainfall over the YRB. A physical empirical prediction model is established to quantify the TPSC contribution to the seasonal prediction of the EASM. Empirical hindcast output shows the prediction skill of the EASM is significantly improved with the additional predictor of the winter TPSC. In particular, the TPSC has greatly improved the prediction of the extreme EASM in 2020. The above results indicate that the prior winter TPSC anomaly in this critical area can provide another predictability source for the EASM, besides El Niño-Southern Oscillation and the North Atlantic Oscillation.

description: Winter storms in eastern Canada can bring heavy precipitation, including large amounts of freezing rain. The resulting ice accumulation on structures such as trees and power lines can lead to widespread power outages and damage to infrastructure. The objective of this study is to provide a better understanding of the processes that led to extreme freezing rain events over New Brunswick (NB), Canada, during past events and how they may change in the future. To accomplish this, freezing rain events that affected the power network over NB were identified and analysed using high-resolution convection-permitting simulations. These simulations were produced from 2000 to 2013 climate data and using the pseudo global warming (WRF-PGW) approach, assuming warmer climate conditions. Our results show that through the process of cold air damming, the Appalachians enhance the development of strong temperature inversions, leading to an increase in the amount of freezing rain in central and southern NB. The occurrence of freezing rain events generally decreases by 40% in southern and eastern NB, while the occurrence of long-duration events (>6 h) increases slightly in northwestern NB in the WRF-PGW simulation. Overall, key local orographic effects that influence atmospheric conditions favorable for freezing precipitation were identified. This knowledge will enable us to better anticipate the impact of climate change on similar storms.

Dynamics and Structure in Metallic Supercooled Liquids and Glasses Studied by NMR
Creators: name: Li, Lilong
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: In this dissertation, we used high temperature NMR to study the dynamic behavior of metallic liquids and glasses from completely molten state to temperatures well below the glass transition. We found that there are different processes in the system that have distinct effects to NMR probing methods, so we employed several NMR techniques to study these processes separately. A dramatic temperature dependence of Knight shift was recorded and it was attributed to the fast vibration and rattling processes. A transition was directly observed at Tc which is about 100K above the glass transition temperature. The result was shown to be consistent with MCT, mode coupling theory. Nuclear quadrupolar relaxation, 1-d lineshape analysis and stimulated echo techniques were utilized to study the slow processes. At high temperatures, the dynamics follow the MCT predictions. Starting from Tc and below, a decoupling in diffusion behavior between the light/small atoms and heavy/big ones was discovered. We discussed possible dynamic and thermodynamic explanations. In the second part of the dissertation, we used NMR to study the primary crystallization in some Aluminum-based metallic glasses. A precursor for crystallization was found even in as-quenched samples. A common metastable state was discovered at low temperatures. We also presented some studies on the electronic structure and short-range order of some metallic glasses and possible correlations of such properties with the glass forming ability.

description: To Devour the Land of Mkwawa: Colonial Violence and the German-Hehe War in East Africa focuses on the German-Hehe War, which raged across the Southern Highlands of what is now Tanzania in the 1890s, and is based on archival and field research done in Berlin, Freiburg, Dar es Salaam, and Iringa. The central question of the dissertation is nature of imperial violence in the African context, in this case perpetrated by German-led colonial forces in their attempt to subdue the large, martially proficient Hehe conquest state, which was similar other states based on the Zulu model. The extreme brutality and destruction that characterized this nearly decade-long campaign resulted not simply from some sort of “special path” of the German Empire or some sort of culturally encoded national pathology, but rather arose from the interplay of conditions and exigencies “on the spot” in East Africa and broader, overlapping circuits of violence that connected processes and events across the globe. I also seek to destabilize the traditional binary of omnipotent European invaders and passive African victims—indeed, the Hehe under Chief Mkwawa were highly effective killers and administrators whose tenacious resistance to the Germans itself brought forth extreme responses from German colonial forces. My work is transnational and comparative: it is the former insofar as the violence that characterized the Hehe-German War was the result of and drew on several concurrent developments that transcended national or other established political boundaries. It is the latter in that I explicitly compare the Hehe-German War with other cases of intense colonial violence across Africa and Asia in order to illuminate what is specific about both the German imperial experience and about the powerful Hehe Mfecane State. These events are a part of world history, not just East African or German history, and they offer one an opportunity to explore the larger issue of how violence and warfare—particularly irregular, asymmetrical warfare—shaped and continue to shape our world.

description: Nearby resolved dwarf galaxies provide excellent opportunities for studying the dust-producing late stages of stellar evolution over a wide range of metallicity (-2.7 < [Fe/H] < -1.0). Here, we describe DUSTiNGS (DUST in Nearby Galaxies with Spitzer): a 3.6 and 4.5 micron post-cryogen Spitzer Space Telescope imaging survey of 50 dwarf galaxies within 1.5 Mpc that is designed to identify dust-producing Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and massive stars. The survey includes 37 dwarf spheroidal, 8 dwarf irregular, and 5 transition-type galaxies. This near-complete sample allows for the building of statistics on these rare phases of stellar evolution over the full metallicity range. The photometry is >75% complete at the tip of the Red Giant Branch for all targeted galaxies, with the exception of the crowded inner regions of IC 10, NGC 185, and NGC 147. This photometric depth ensures that the majority of the dust-producing stars, including the thermally-pulsing AGB stars, are detected in each galaxy. The images map each galaxy to at least twice the half-light radius to ensure that the entire evolved star population is included and to facilitate the statistical subtraction of background and foreground contamination, which is severe at these wavelengths. In this overview, we describe the survey, the data products, and preliminary results. We show evidence for the presence of dust-producing AGB stars in 8 of the targeted galaxies, with metallicities as low as [Fe/H] = -1.9, suggesting that dust production occurs even at low metallicity.

A Multilinguistic Analysis of Spelling among Children with Hearing Loss

description: The purpose of these studies was to utilize a novel multilinguistic analysis of spelling in the writing samples of children. The first study evaluated the clinical utility of a multilinguistic spelling assessment, the POMplexity for Roots and Affixes, for identifying different profiles among four spellers. The clinical implications of the resulting distributions of phonological, orthographic, and morphological spelling errors were then described. The second study assessed the spelling of words produced in writing samples of 188 children who are hard of hearing (CHH) and 93 children with normal hearing (CNH). Unexpectedly, compared to CNH, the CHH produced fewer misspelled words. The CHH demonstrated some areas of linguistic weakness (e.g., fewer phonologically plausible errors, more consonant errors, more omitted affixes), as well as areas of linguistic strength (e.g., fewer vowel errors). When comparing different levels of aided audibility among CHH, poorer aided audibility was associated with more single sound errors (e.g. omissions, additions), and fewer multiple sound errors. The third study evaluated the spelling of 23 children with cochlear implants (CIs). The spelling performance of the subset of nine children who received a CI by 24 months was compared with age-matched CNH and CHH. Compared to CNH, children with CIs demonstrated a similar proportion of misspelled words but a different distribution of errors. The errors produced by children with CIs suggested areas of linguistic weakness (e.g. fewer phonologically plausible errors) and areas of linguistic strength (e.g., fewer misspelled roots in multimorphemic words, fewer vowel errors) relative to peers with typical hearing. Compared to CHH, children with CIs demonstrated a similar proportion of misspelled words as well as a similar distribution of errors. The results of these studies suggest that the novel multilinguistic spelling assessment has the sensitivity to detect important differences in spelling performance of individual and groups of children. Furthermore, the findings suggest that children with hearing loss who have benefitted from early intervention and use a spoken language approach demonstrate similar, if not better, spelling accuracy than CNH, while demonstrating differences in the degree to which they utilize phonological, orthographic, and morphological awareness to inform their spelling.

description: Presents a general method for computing quantitative information about finite-state real-time systems. We have developed algorithms that compute exact bounds on the delay between two specified events and on the number of occurrences of an event in a given interval. This technique allows us to determine performance measures such as schedulability, response time, and system load. Our algorithms produce more detailed information than traditional methods. This information leads to a better understanding of system behavior, in addition to determining its correctness. The algorithms presented in this paper are efficiently implemented using binary decision diagrams and have been incorporated into the SMV symbolic model verifier. Using this method, we have verified a model of an aircraft control system with 1015  states. The results obtained demonstrate that our method can be successfully applied in the verification of real-time system designs
HIV Partner Notification in Malawi: Comparing Methods and Predicting Partner Testing

description: HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa is predominately heterosexual. Sexual partners of persons with newly diagnosed HIV infection require HIV counseling, testing and, if necessary, evaluation for therapy. However, many African countries do not have a standardized protocol for partner notification and the effectiveness of partner notification has not been evaluated in developing countries. We conducted a randomized trial of HIV partner notification to determine the rates of counseling, testing and new HIV diagnoses among partners. Individuals with newly diagnosed HIV infection presenting to STI clinics in Lilongwe, Malawi were randomized to one of three methods of partner notification: passive referral, contract referral, or provider referral. The passive referral group was responsible for notifying their partners themselves. The contract referral group was given seven days to notify their partners, after which a health care provider contacted partners who had not reported for counseling and testing. In the provider group, a health care provider notified partners immediately. Partners to index patients enrolled in the passive and contract referral arms were used to identify characteristics of partners unlikely to report for counseling and testing. Overall, 240 index patients named 302 sexual partners and provided locator information for 252. Among locatable partners, 107 returned for HIV counseling and testing. The proportion of partners returning was 24% (95% CI 15 - 34%) in the passive referral arm, 51% (95% CI 41 - 62%) in the contract referral arm, and 51% (95% CI 40 - 62%) in the provider referral arm (p<0.001). Among returning partners (n=107), 67 (64%) were HIV-infected with 54 (81%) newly diagnosed. Partner's failing to report for testing was associated with male partner sex, relationship duration less than 6 months or between 6 and 24 months, and index education greater than primary. This research is the first to provide evidence on the most effective method of partner notification in sub-Saharan Africa. Active partner notification was feasible, acceptable, and effective among STI clinic patients. Using a risk score to identify partners unlikely to report on their own can reduce the resources required to attempt to locate all partners in the community while increasing the testing yield compared to patient-referral.

description: We present the complete calculation of $W$-boson production in association with a jet in hadronic collisions through next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. To cancel infrared divergences we introduce a new subtraction method that exploits the fact that the $N$-jettiness event-shape variable fully captures the singularity structure of QCD amplitudes with final-state partons. This method holds for processes with an arbitrary number of jets, and is easily implemented into existing frameworks for higher-order calculations. We present initial phenomenological results for $W$+jet production at the LHC. The NNLO corrections are small and lead to a significantly reduced theoretical error, opening the door to precision measurements in the $W$+jet channel at the LHC.
