description: We obtain predictions for a number of radiative decays $B_{(s)}\to Vγ$, $V$ the vector meson, which proceed through the weak-annihilation mechanism. Within the factorization approximation, we take into account the photon emission from the $B$-meson loop and from the vector-meson loop; the latter subprocesses were not considered in the previous analyses but are found to have sizeable impact on the $B_{(s)}\to Vγ$ decay rate. The highest branching ratios for the weak-annihilation reactions reported here are ${\cal B}(\bar B^0_s\to J/ψγ)=1.5\cdot 10^{-7}$ and ${\cal B}(B^-\to \bar D_s^{*-}γ)=1.7\cdot 10^{-7}$, the estimated accuracy of these predictions being at the level of 20\%.

description: The interfacial free energy is a central quantity in crystallization from the meta-stable melt. In suspensions of charged colloidal spheres, nucleation and growth kinetics can be accurately measured from optical experiments. In previous work, from this data effective non-equilibrium values for the interfacial free energy between the emerging bcc-nuclei and the adjacent melt in dependence on the chemical potential difference between melt phase and crystal phase were derived using classical nucleation theory. A strictly linear increase of the interfacial free energy was observed as a function of increased meta-stability. Here, we further analyze this data for five aqueous suspensions of charged spheres and one binary mixture. We utilize a simple extrapolation scheme and interpret our findings in view of Turnbull's empirical rule. Our first estimates for the reduced interfacial free energy, $σ_{0,bcc}$, between coexisting equilibrium uid and bcc-crystal phases are on the order of a few $k_BT$. Their values are not correlated to any of the electrostatic interaction parameters but rather show a systematic decrease with increasing size polydispersity and a lower value for the mixture as compared to the pure components. At the same time, $σ_0$ also shows an approximately linear correlation to the entropy of freezing. The equilibrium interfacial free energy of strictly monodisperse charged spheres may therefore be still greater.

Statewide Inclusionary Land Use Laws and Suburban Exclusion
Creators: name: Cowan, Spencer M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: There is little, if any, dispute over the need for more low- or moderately-priced housing, nor is there much disagreement that the shortage of such housing is more severe in newer suburbs than in central cities and older, inner-ring suburbs. One way of addressing those situations is through inclusionary land use rules that make the production of lower-priced housing an integral part of residential and/or commercial development. These rules are intended to increase the supply of low-priced housing and reduce its increasing concentration in existing areas of poverty.

description: We analyze the scenario within the Next to Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), where the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is singlino-like neutralino. By systematically considering various possible admixtures in the electroweakino sector, we classify regions of parameter space where the next to lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP) is a long-lived electroweakino while remaining consistent with constraints from flavor physics, dark matter direct detection, and collider data. We identify viable cascade decay modes featuring the long-lived NLSP for directly produced chargino-neutralino pairs, thus, leading to displaced vertex signatures at the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). We construct track based analysis in order to uncover such scenarios at the HL-LHC and analyze their discovery potential. We show that through such focused searches for the long-lived particles at the HL-LHC, one can probe regions of the electroweakino parameter space that are otherwise challenging.

Below is only an extended abstract of the project. To obtain the original, full-length document, please visit the “Electronic Theses and Dissertation Collection” at http://dc.lib.unc.edu. This report presents results of a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) to quantify the health benefits of a small area plan proposed as a result of the Blue Ridge Road District Study, which focuses on increasing density, diversifying land use, and enhancing connectivity within the Blue Ridge Road Corridor (BRRC) in Raleigh, N.C. Blue Ridge Road, located at the western edge of the city, is a major north-south thoroughfare. In spite of the substantial number of residents, employees, and visitors who travel within the BRRC, the area lacks pedestrian infrastructure and has few attractions, residential areas, and retailers that are easy to visit on foot. Focus group discussions indicate that BRRC residents wanted the ability to walk more comfortably and safely within the corridor to a greater number of destinations than currently exist.

It is in 1960s that the observations began to confront the eupherial theory and thus began exploration of GR as a legitimate physical theory in right earnest. The remarkable discoveries of cosmic microwave background radiation, quasars, rotating Kerr black hole and the powerful singularity theorems heralded a new canvas of relativistic astrophysics and cosmology. I would attempt to give a brief account of Indian participation in these exciting times.

Data-Driven Modeling of Noise Time Series with Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks

description: Random noise arising from physical processes is an inherent characteristic of measurements and a limiting factor for most signal processing and data analysis tasks. Given the recent interest in generative adversarial networks (GANs) for data-driven modeling, it is important to determine to what extent GANs can faithfully reproduce noise in target data sets. In this paper, we present an empirical investigation that aims to shed light on this issue for time series. Namely, we assess two general-purpose GANs for time series that are based on the popular deep convolutional GAN (DCGAN) architecture, a direct time-series model and an image-based model that uses a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) data representation. The GAN models are trained and quantitatively evaluated using distributions of simulated noise time series with known ground-truth parameters. Target time series distributions include a broad range of noise types commonly encountered in physical measurements, electronics, and communication systems: band-limited thermal noise, power law noise, shot noise, and impulsive noise. We find that GANs are capable of learning many noise types, although they predictably struggle when the GAN architecture is not well suited to some aspects of the noise, e.g., impulsive time-series with extreme outliers. Our findings provide insights into the capabilities and potential limitations of current approaches to time-series GANs and highlight areas for further research. In addition, our battery of tests provides a useful benchmark to aid the development of deep generative models for time series.

Flying into Turbulence: The Raleigh-Durham Airport Expansion Controversy
Creators: name: Pattison, Charles
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1976

description: The Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority (RDUAA) is in the process of expanding its facilities to accommodate current and projected air carrier operations. Five alternative plans have been drawn up by consultants, only one of which is seen as sufficient by the Airport Authority. This alternative, known as Plan B, would send aircraft directly over Umstead Park and a considerable number of homes and businesses. For this reason, Plan B is opposed by many area residents. Strenuous arguments for and against the various alternatives have come from all sides, yet the debate seems bogged down because of a failure to reach a consensus on area needs and desires and a general lack of information on the costs and benefits of the various plans. Is expansion necessary in the first place or is this merely an attempt on the part of RDUAA to keep pace with competing facilities in Greensboro and Charlotte? Is Plan B clearly superior to the other alternatives? The most significant conclusion is that no one has presented the detailed information necessary to make an intelligent choice between these plans. However, in-depth research suggests that an alternative other than Plan B offers a more modest but totally adequate solution. This article will briefly review the struggle over expansion of Raleigh-Durham Airport and follow with a detailed account of the benefits and drawbacks of each plan as seen by the author.
The Role of Temporal Distance on Forecasting the Difficulty of Goal Pursuits

description: The current research examined individuals’ perceptions of difficulty regarding goal striving in the near and distant future. Study 1 tested the hypothesis that predictions decrease over increasing temporal distance. Participants forecasted how difficult several goal-related tasks would be at varying points in the future. Our hypothesis was mostly supported. Results from hierarchical linear modeling showed many statistically significant linear and quadratic effects of temporal distance on predictions within and across goal tasks. Moreover, all future time points were rated as easier compared to now, with medium to large differences in difficulty. In Study 2, participants forecasted the difficulty of pursuing a goal-related task two days away, and we followed up to assess actual difficulty. Participants’ predictions were generally accurate. Goal commitment moderated accuracy, as individuals low (vs. high) in goal commitment underestimated (overestimated) difficulty. Overall, our results suggest that cognitions about future goal striving may affect momentary motivation and self-regulation.
Street Bargaining: The Politics of Chicago Planning

Year: 1984

description: As part of a semester-long colloquium on industrial development policy, the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill invited agency directors and academicians from around the country to describe their experiences and perceptions of economic development planning. Robert Mier, director of the Chicago Economic Development Commission, visited Chapel Hill in April 1984. He spoke with Carolina planning after his presentation to the department. His comments offer a frank and insightful appraisal of the constraints and demands of economic development planning in Chicago. The strategies and conclusions he describes are relevant for small town planners as well as metropolitan planners. Admittedly, Chicago is an extreme example of the politics of economic development, but it is an example which encourages less developed communities to approach economic development openly and aggressively.

description: (Abridged) Combining the deepest Herschel extragalactic surveys (PEP, GOODS-H, HerMES), and Monte Carlo mock catalogs, we explore the robustness of dust mass estimates based on modeling of broad band spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with two popular approaches: Draine & Li (2007, DL07) and a modified black body (MBB). As long as the observed SED extends to at least 160-200 micron in the rest frame, M(dust) can be recovered with a >3 sigma significance and without the occurrence of systematics. An average offset of a factor ~1.5 exists between DL07- and MBB-based dust masses, based on consistent dust properties. At the depth of the deepest Herschel surveys (in the GOODS-S field) it is possible to retrieve dust masses with a S/N>=3 for galaxies on the main sequence of star formation (MS) down to M(stars)~1e10 [M(sun)] up to z~1. At higher redshift (z<=2) the same result is achieved only for objects at the tip of the MS or lying above it. Molecular gas masses, obtained converting M(dust) through the metallicity-dependent gas-to-dust ratio delta(GDR), are consistent with those based on the scaling of depletion time, and on CO spectroscopy. Focusing on CO-detected galaxies at z>1, the delta(GDR) dependence on metallicity is consistent with the local relation. We combine far-IR Herschel data and sub-mm ALMA expected fluxes to study the advantages of a full SED coverage.

description: Vishaan Chakrabarti has an axe—or two—to grind. Federal subsidies for oceanfront homes, green technology trends such as fluorescent light bulbs, most people working in the planning profession today—all these and more are skewered in A Country of Cities: A Manifesto for an Urban America. Chakrabarti’s purpose in taking these subjects to task is to show the peril that America threatens to unleash upon the world should its influence in planning, real estate and spatial trends continue to resonate globally. The unifying theme of Chakrabarti’s book is a fight against what he considers to be America’s most profligate and enduring export: suburbia.
Extended Barton-Bandis model for rock joints under cyclic loading: Formulation and implicit algorithm
Creators: name: Fei, Fan
name: Choo, Jinhyun
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, the Barton-Bandis model for rock joints is extended to cyclic loading conditions, without any new material parameter. Also developed herein is an algorithm for implicit numerical solution of the extended Barton-Bandis model, which can also be used for the original Barton-Bandis model for which an implicit algorithm has been unavailable. To this end, we first cast the Barton-Bandis model into an incremental elasto-plastic framework, deriving an expression for the elastic shear stiffness being consistent with the original model formulation. We then extend the model formulation to cyclic loading conditions, incorporating the dependence of shear stress and dilation on the joint position and the shearing direction. The extension is achieved by introducing a few state-dependent variables which can be calculated with the existing material parameters. For robust and accurate utilization of the model, we also develop an implicit algorithm based on return mapping, which is unconditionally stable and guarantees satisfaction of the strength criterion. We verify that the proposed model formulation and algorithm produces the same results as the original Barton-Bandis model under monotonic shearing conditions. We then validate the extended Barton-Bandis model against experimental data on natural rock joints under cycling loading conditions. The present work thus enables the Barton-Bandis model, which has been exceptionally popular in research and practice, to be applicable to a wider range of problems in rock mechanics and rock engineering.

description: The transport properties of neutron star matter play an important role in many astrophysical processes. We report the results of a calculation of the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients of the hard-sphere fermion system of degeneracy $ν$=2, that can be regarded as a model of pure neutron matter. Our approach is based on the effective interaction obtained from the formalism of correlated basis functions and the cluster expansion technique. The resulting transport coefficients show a strong sensitivity to the quasiparticle effective mass, reflecting the effect of second order contributions to the self-energy that are not taken into account in nuclear matter studies available in the literature.

description: A large obstacle for realizing quantum photonic logic is the weak optical nonlinearity of available materials, which results in large power consumption. In this paper, we present the theoretical design of all-optical logic with second order ($χ^{(2)}$) nonlinear bimodal cavities and their networks. Using semiclassical models derived from the Wigner quasi-probability distribution function, we analyze the power consumption and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of networks implementing an optical AND gate and an optical latch. Comparison between the second and third order $(χ^{(3)})$ optical logic reveals that while the $χ^{(3)}$ design outperforms the $χ^{(2)}$ design in terms of the SNR for the same input power, employing the $χ^{(3)}$ nonlinearity necessitates the use of cavities with ultra high quality factors ($Q\sim 10^6$) to achieve gate power consumption comparable to that of the $χ^{(2)}$ design at significantly smaller quality factors ($Q \sim 10^4$). Using realistic estimates of the $χ^{(2)}$ and $χ^{(3)}$ nonlinear susceptibilities of available materials, we show that at achievable quality factors ($Q \sim 10^4$), the $χ^{(2)}$ design is an order of magnitude more energy efficient than the corresponding $χ^{(3)}$ design.
The Feasibility of a Multiple Residence Solar Energy System
Creators: name: Coyman, Ernest
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1977

description: The search for new sources of energy to replace dwindling supplies of petroleum and natural gas has become a major national priority. Solar heat is widely discussed as a new source of energy in a variety of settings. Solar space heating appears to be on the horizon, but the economic potential of generating electricity from solar sources is very much an open question. Large scale, central generation of electricity from solar sources is and will remain unacceptable for some time because extremely large fields of collectors are essential to harness the quantities of solar heat required. On-site solar generation of electricity, however, might prove a more feasible alternative. An on-site system eliminates land acquisition costs because collectors can be built into the rooftops of buildings. In addition, solar heat collected on site can be more efficiently utilized because residual heat unusable for electrical generation is employed for space heating. Single family homes must be ruled out since the high temperatures and complicated equipment involved in on-site generation make it infeasible for operation. Thus, our attention for on-site solar generation of electricity must focus on multiple-unit dwellings, and commercial and industrial applications. This article attempts to estimate the economic feasibility of an on-site solar energy system which uses presently available technology for this type of development. The Total Solar Energy System (TSES) discussed, would generate electricity and provide space heating and cooling for twenty housing units, totalling 40,000 square feet, on a single site in piedmont North Carolina. The design requirements of the TSES are explained, then an approximation of the economic feasibility is presented.

description: We calculate the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) perturbative corrections to $P$-wave quarkonia annihilation decay to two photons, in the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization. The order-$α_s^2$ short-distance coefficients associated with each helicity amplitude are presented in a semi-analytic form, including the "light-by-light" contributions. With substantial NNLO corrections, we find disquieting discrepancy when confronting our state-of-the-art predictions with the latest \textsf{BESIII} measurements, especially fail to account for the measured $χ_{c2}\toγγ$ width. Incorporating the effects of spin-dependent forces would even exacerbate the situation, since it lifts the degeneracy between the nonperturbative NRQCD matrix elements of $χ_{c0}$ and $χ_{c2}$ toward the wrong direction. We also present the order-$α_s^2$ predictions to $χ_{b0,2}\toγγ$, which await the future experimental test.

description: We present a detailed study of portfolio optimization using different versions of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA). For a given list of assets, the portfolio optimization problem is formulated as quadratic binary optimization constrained on the number of assets contained in the portfolio. QAOA has been suggested as a possible candidate for solving this problem (and similar combinatorial optimization problems) more efficiently than classical computers in the case of a sufficiently large number of assets. However, the practical implementation of this algorithm requires a careful consideration of several technical issues, not all of which are discussed in the present literature. The present article intends to fill this gap and thereby provide the reader with a useful guide for applying QAOA to the portfolio optimization problem (and similar problems). In particular, we will discuss several possible choices of the variational form and of different classical algorithms for finding the corresponding optimized parameters. Viewing at the application of QAOA on error-prone NISQ hardware, we also analyze the influence of statistical sampling errors (due to a finite number of shots) and gate and readout errors (due to imperfect quantum hardware). Finally, we define a criterion for distinguishing between "easy" and "hard" instances of the portfolio optimization problem

description: Arts and culture have become widely accepted tools of economic development and revitalization. Coming into public consciousness perhaps most recognizably in the work of Richard Florida and his theories of building— or rebuilding—a city around the creative class, arts and culture are the protean intangibles in many urban planning projects. They are the nebulous factors sought after to attract well-educated, mobile citizens.
Transverse spin azimuthal asymmetries in SIDIS at COMPASS: Multidimensional analysis

description: One of the important objectives of the COMPASS experiment (CERN, SPS north area) is the exploration of transverse spin structure of nucleon via study of spin (in)dependent azimuthal asymmetries with semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) processes and recently also with Drell-Yan (DY) reactions. In the past twelve years series of measurements were made in COMPASS, using 160 GeV/c longitudinally polarized muon beam and polarized $^6LiD$ and $NH_3$ targets. Drell-Yan measurements with high energy (190 GeV/c) pion beam and transversely polarized $NH_3$ target started in 2014 with a pilot-run have been followed by 140 days of data taking in 2015. The experimental results obtained by COMPASS for azimuthal effects in SIDIS play an important role in the general understanding of the three-dimensional nature of the nucleon and are widely used in theoretical analyses and global data fits. In addition, future first ever polarized DY-data from COMPASS compared with SIDIS results will open a new chapter probing general principles of QCD TMD-formalism. In this review main focus is given to the very recent results obtained by the COMPASS collaboration from first ever multi-dimensional extraction of SIDIS transverse spin asymmetries.

description: A rapidly expanding fireball which undergoes first-order phase transition will supercool and proceed via spinodal decomposition. Hadrons are produced from the individual fragments as well as the left-over matter filling the space between them. Emission from fragments should be visible in rapidity correlations, particularly of protons. In addition to that, even within narrow centrality classes, rapidity distributions will be fluctuating from one event to another in case of fragmentation. This can be identified with the help of Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Finally, we present a method which allows to sort events with varying rapidity distributions in such a way, that events with similar rapidity histograms are grouped together.

description: Short reports on planning issues. Includes: BULLETIN: 1985 JOINT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE: The 1985 Joint North Carolina/Virginia Chapter American Planning Association Professional Development Conference was held October 3-5 at the Hotel Roanoke in Roanoke, Virginia. The conference was workshop-oriented and focused on site plan review, performance zoning, streamlining development review and development dispute negotiations. STRATEGIES FOR LOW LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT: Low-level radioactive waste is produced by several different categories of generators and consists of a broad range of materials. Nuclear power plants, industry, medical facilities, academic and government research institutions all contribute to the waste stream. In North Carolina there are some thirty low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) generators, including the nuclear reactor facilities of Carolina Power & Light at Southport, Duke Power at Cornelius, and General Electric at Wilmington, N.C. Research facilities at Duke, East Carolina, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest also produce LLRW, or radwaste. Compared to other nuclear waste material, LLRW contains relatively small amounts of radioactivity, yet it constitutes the largest physical mass of nuclear waste generated. PLANNING CURRICULUM: MEETING THE CHALLENGE: The Department of City and Regional Planning of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has recently introduced two new teaching initiatives in Real Estate Development and Planning for Developing Countries. The following are brief descriptions of the purpose and design of the new curricula.
