Planning without power: exploring the rationale for lack of planners serving in public office
Creators: name: Reagan, George
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This paper explores the rationale for why few planners seek or hold public office. It introduces core principles in the professions indicating the viability of holding public office as a planner, and then explores the reasoning why these items do not translate necessarily into this career transition. The paper presents a historical perspective of the relationship between planning and public leaders, and presents theory addressing this relationship in modern planning context. It hypothesizes why planners do not run for public office, and attempts to validate it. The hypothesis focuses on three main issues: planning theory, planning education/ training philosophies, and professional practicalities, revealing how these differ from their public official counterparts. In summary, the paper draws conclusions from this analysis, validating the original hypothesis. The conclusion provides recommendations for both the planning industry and the public sector if they wish to remedy the void of planners serving in public office.
(O_8, O_8) contribution to $\bar{B} \to X_s γγ$ at O(α_s)

description: In this analysis, we present the contribution associated with the chromomagnetic dipole operator O_8 to the double differential decay width dΓ/(ds_1 ds_2) for the inclusive process $\bar{B} \to X_s γγ$. The kinematical variables s_1 and s_2 are defined as s_i=(p_b - q_i)^2/m_b^2, where p_b, q_1, q_2 are the momenta of b-quark and two photons. This contribution (taken at tree level) is of order α_s, like the recently calculated QCD corrections to the contribution of the operator O_7. In order to regulate possible collinear singularities of one of the photons with the strange quark, we introduce a non zero mass m_s for the strange quark. Our results are obtained for exact m_s, which we interpret as a constituent mass being varied between 400 and 600 MeV. Numerically it turns out that the effect of the (O_8, O_8) contribution to the branching ratio of $\bar{B} \to X_s γγ$ does not exceed +0.1 % for any kinematically allowed value of our physical cutoff parameter c, confirming the expected suppression of this contribution relative to the QCD corrections to dΓ_{77}/(ds_1 ds_2).

The Boundaries of Justice: The Challenges of Environmental Justice Assessments for Transportation Projects
Creators: name: Hartell, Ann
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006
Subjects: Environmental justice

description: Over recent decades, federal guidelines for transportation projects have required increasing attention to impacts on communities. Executive Order 12898 requires federal agencies to conduct environmental justice (EJ) assessments to determine if negative effects from projects will fall disproportionately on minority or low-income populations. Yet transportation agencies have not given specific guidance on the method for conducting such assessments. Therefore practitioners and researchers apply a variety of analytical techniques. This paper uses a case study of a planned road widening project in Daytona Beach, Florida, to compare the various methods currently used in EJ assessments. The choice of reference area and of method for determining the decision threshold for a finding of disproportionality are shown to have important implications for the outcome of an assessment. Because the spatial distribution of racial/ethnic and low-income groups will vary widely from place to place, practitioners and transportation agencies should not decide on the precise method, but carefully consider the characteristics and distribution of the data being used and select the method that most fairly represents the data distribution. Conducting genuine EJ assessments is not only required by federal regulations, but can head off conflicts, better reveal the true costs of projects, and allow for more equitable distribution of costs and benefits by better targeting mitigation efforts. Thus rather than shying away from EJ assessments, transportation agencies and practitioners should continue to explore methods and approaches.

description: A set of hadronic equations of state derived from covariant density functional theory and constrained by terrestrial experiments, and astrophysical observations, in particular by the NICER experiment inferences is used to explore the universal relations among the global properties of compact stars containing heavy baryons at high densities. We confirm the validity of universal $I$-Love-$Q$ relations connecting the moment of inertia $(I)$, the tidal deformability ($Λ$), and the spin-induced quadrupole moment ($Q$) for isolated non-rotating stars. We further confirm the validity of the $I$-$C$-$Q$ relations connecting the moment of inertia, compactness $(C)$, and quadrupole moment for uniformly and slowly rotating stars, and extend the validity of these relations to maximally rotating sequences. We then investigate the relations between integral parameters of maximally rotating and static compact stars. The universalities are shown to persist for equations of state and compositions containing hyperons and $Δ$ degrees of freedom. When heavy baryons are included, however, the radial profiles of integrands in expressions of global properties exhibit ``bumps", which are not present in the case of nucleonic stars in which case the profiles are smooth. We determine the coefficients entering the universal relations in the case of hyperonic and $Δ$-resonance containing stars.

Drude weight and optical conductivity of a two-dimensional heavy-hole gas with $k$-cubic spin-orbit interactions

description: We present detailed theoretical study on zero-frequency Drude weight and optical conductivity of a two-dimensional heavy-hole gas(2DHG) with $k$-cubic Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. The presence of $k$-cubic spin-orbit couplings strongly modifies the Drude weight in comparison to the electron gas with $k$-linear spin-orbit couplings. For large hole density and strong $k$-cubic spin-orbit couplings, the density dependence of Drude weight deviates from the linear behavior. We establish a relation between optical conductivity and the Berry connection. Unlike two-dimensional electron gas with $k$-linear spin-orbit couplings, we explicitly show that the optical conductivity does not vanish even for equal strength of the two spin-orbit couplings. We attribute this fact to the non-zero Berry phase for equal strength of $k$-cubic spin-orbit couplings. The least photon energy needed to set in the optical transition in hole gas is one order of magnitude smaller than that of electron gas. Types of two van Hove singularities appear in the optical spectrum are also discussed.

description: High-quality recommender systems ought to deliver both innovative and relevant content through effective and exploratory interactions with users. Yet, supervised learning-based neural networks, which form the backbone of many existing recommender systems, only leverage recognized user interests, falling short when it comes to efficiently uncovering unknown user preferences. While there has been some progress with neural contextual bandit algorithms towards enabling online exploration through neural networks, their onerous computational demands hinder widespread adoption in real-world recommender systems. In this work, we propose a scalable sample-efficient neural contextual bandit algorithm for recommender systems. To do this, we design an epistemic neural network architecture, Epistemic Neural Recommendation (ENR), that enables Thompson sampling at a large scale. In two distinct large-scale experiments with real-world tasks, ENR significantly boosts click-through rates and user ratings by at least 9% and 6% respectively compared to state-of-the-art neural contextual bandit algorithms. Furthermore, it achieves equivalent performance with at least 29% fewer user interactions compared to the best-performing baseline algorithm. Remarkably, while accomplishing these improvements, ENR demands orders of magnitude fewer computational resources than neural contextual bandit baseline algorithms.

description: We investigate axial quasi-normal modes of realistic neutron stars in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-dilaton gravity. We consider 8 realistic equations of state containing nuclear, hyperonic, and hybrid matter. We focus on the fundamental curvature mode and compare the results with those of pure Einstein theory. We observe that the frequency of the modes is increased by the presence of the Gauss-Bonnet-dilaton, while the impact on the damping time is typically smaller. Interestingly, we obtain that universal relations valid in pure Einstein theory still hold for Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet-dilaton gravity, and we propose a method to use these phenomenological relations to constrain the value of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling.

description: The East Durham Historic District residential rehabilitation project, as presented in this report, is a small redevelopment project consisting of 8 to 15 single-family homes. Preservation North Carolina and the Historic Preservation Society of Durham hope to partner on this project, with PNC providing financing and HPSD providing local expertise and housing a full-time project manager. The feasibility of this project has been examined since early 2002, when it was first proposed. Two groups of students from the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one in 2004 and one in 2005, have examined this proposed project and produced reports that I would recommend anyone involved with this project review. In this report I will summarize their findings and describe the experiences I have had researching the project in East Durham. Next, I present sales price and construction budget information, discuss project strategy, and present an implementation schedule.

description: Even simple inflationary scenarios have many free parameters. Beyond the variables appearing in the inflationary action, these include dynamical initial conditions, the number of fields, and couplings to other sectors. These quantities are often ignored but cosmological observables can depend on the unknown parameters. We use Bayesian networks to account for a large set of inflationary parameters, deriving generative models for the primordial spectra that are conditioned on a hierarchical set of prior probabilities describing the initial conditions, reheating physics, and other free parameters. We use $N_f$--quadratic inflation as an illustrative example, finding that the number of $e$-folds $N_*$ between horizon exit for the pivot scale and the end of inflation is typically the most important parameter, even when the number of fields, their masses and initial conditions are unknown, along with possible conditional dependencies between these parameters.

description: This paper investigates the temporal patterns of activity in the cryptocurrency market with a focus on Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and WINkLink from January 2020 to December 2022. Market activity measures - logarithmic returns, volume, and transaction number, sampled every 10 seconds, were divided into intraday and intraweek periods and then further decomposed into recurring and noise components via correlation matrix formalism. The key findings include the distinctive market behavior from traditional stock markets due to the nonexistence of trade opening and closing. This was manifest in three enhanced-activity phases aligning with Asian, European, and U.S. trading sessions. An intriguing pattern of activity surge in 15-minute intervals, particularly at full hours, was also noticed, implying the potential role of algorithmic trading. Most notably, recurring bursts of activity in bitcoin and ether were identified to coincide with the release times of significant U.S. macroeconomic reports such as Nonfarm payrolls, Consumer Price Index data, and Federal Reserve statements. The most correlated daily patterns of activity occurred in 2022, possibly reflecting the documented correlations with U.S. stock indices in the same period. Factors that are external to the inner market dynamics are found to be responsible for the repeatable components of the market dynamics, while the internal factors appear to be substantially random, which manifests itself in a good agreement between the empirical eigenvalue distributions in their bulk and the random matrix theory predictions expressed by the Marchenko-Pastur distribution. The findings reported support the growing integration of cryptocurrencies into the global financial markets.

description: A locally conformally Kähler (lcK) manifold is a complex manifold $(M,J)$ together with a Hermitian metric $g$ which is conformal to a Kähler metric in the neighbourhood of each point. In this paper we obtain three classification results in locally conformally Kähler geometry. The first one is the classification of conformal classes on compact manifolds containing two non-homothetic Kähler metrics. The second one is the classification of compact Einstein locally conformally Kähler manifolds. The third result is the classification of the possible (restricted) Riemannian holonomy groups of compact locally conformally Kähler manifolds. We show that every locally (but not globally) conformally Kähler compact manifold of dimension $2n$ has holonomy $\mathrm{SO}(2n)$, unless it is Vaisman, in which case it has restricted holonomy $\mathrm{SO}(2n-1)$. We also show that the restricted holonomy of a proper globally conformally Kähler compact manifold of dimension $2n$ is either $\mathrm{SO}(2n)$, or $\mathrm{SO}(2n-1)$, or $\mathrm{U}(n)$, and we give the complete description of the possible solutions in the last two cases.

Form-Based Codes: An alternative zoning method used to redevelop the Georgia Square Mall in Athens, GA
Creators: name: Hursey, Aaron Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Although not a new concept, form-based codes
have become increasingly popular as cities,
towns, and municipalities begin to develop and
redevelop urban and suburban areas. Cities, towns,
and municipalities that once encouraged sprawling
suburban neighborhoods, shopping centers, and
single-use buildings with conventional zoning codes
are now looking to redevelop these areas into vibrant
urban centers. Unlike conventional zoning codes,
form-based codes provides a set of guidelines
that address the design of public space through
the regulation of the physical form, which includes
building heights, form, location, types, façade
standards, parking, park space, and community
gathering space. Form based codes are seen as a
proscriptive alternative to using conventional zoning
codes and may be implemented in several different
ways.
The following paper will briefly explore the history
of conventional zoning codes in the United States,
which are rooted in protecting the health, safety,
and welfare of urban dwellers while cities expanded
rapidly during the 19th century, and there effect
on sprawling suburban development. In the early
to mid 20th century zoning codes meant to protect
urban dwellers quickly spread as residents began to
leave cities for to smaller towns, municipalities, and
suburban locations, which has had a tremendous
affect on the physical form of suburban development.
By the late 1990’s and early 2000’s a shift began to
occur in the habits of suburban dwellers.
During this time period many suburban shopping
centers that had thrived for half a century began
to decline, which can be associated with certain
environmental, economic, and social issues taking
place across the United States. Businesses located
in suburban shopping centers began to relocate to
more urbanized shopping areas, leaving behind
empty shopping centers with an overabundance of
surface level parking. Like many towns across the
United States, Athens, GA experienced a rise and fall
of suburban development during the past 50 years.
An area located along the edge of the city that was
home to the largest regional suburban mall in the
United States is now struggling to attract businesses
and consumers. Using a series of form based design
and building standards, the mall site will transform
from a dying suburban shopping area into a vibrant
urban center.

description: This experiment aims at assessing the source of an effect found in a previous experiment of ours, in which real objects were less efficiently suppressed by Real-Life Continuous Flash Suppression (Real-Life CFS) than photographic representations of the same objects. Real-Life CFS is a method we developed to suppress objects in the real world from awareness. Here, we use 3D-printed replicas of the objects from our previous experiment, deformed versions of these replicas, and 2D photographs of all the replicas, to find whether the difference in suppression efficiency between 3D objects and 2D photographs stems from low-level visual features or from high-level properties.
Art-in-transit bus wrap programs: lessons learned from Asheville, NC; Shreveport, LA; and St. Louis, MO
Creators: name: Leap, Monica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: While including public art along transit lines has increasingly been accepted as best practice over the past several decades, there has not been a comparable increase in the documentation and research of its trends or its alleged impacts. What documentation is available exists in the form of case studies and tends to focus on larger rail systems. Using a similar approach, by comparing and contrasting the process, best practices, challenges and creative funding solutions that three transit agencies used to make art within their bus systems possible, this paper sheds some light on a lesser studied form of art in transit - bus art wraps. The three agencies of focus are Asheville, North Carolina; Shreveport, Louisiana; and St. Louis, Missouri. Among many other points, these case examples show that how a city chooses to incorporate art onto their buses is malleable and the program can be custom fitted to the needs, assets, and goals of the specific agency and community. Though each program proved to be unique in process and project goals, some common elements and lessons can be found. First, it is important to partner with an arts agency that is officially recognized by and has a history of working with the city. This, in addition to using available technologies such as vinyl art wraps and the CAFE web portal will facilitate the process. Jury formation and process design should be transparent and open to community involvement. Finally, as with many other studies of art, there is need for better methods of collecting feedback about the projects and for better research about the impacts of public art projects.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this paper, the question of observability of a heavy charged Higgs in the mass range 400 GeV < mH < 1000 GeV, is addressed. The production process is set to pp -> H+ -> tb at 14 TeV LHC. The analysis benefits from top tagging technique which is based on finding a fat jet as a result of the boosted top quark decay in signal events. A detailed hadron level analysis is performed and selection efficiencies are presented with different charged Higgs mass hypotheses. Finally running toy experiments and using pseudo-data, a fit over signal plus background distributions is performed to assess possibility of reconstructing the charged Higgs peak and its invariant mass measurement. It is shown that the charged Higgs mass can well be reconstructed in the mass range 500 GeV to 1 TeV, with a signal significance which depends on tanbeta. Eventually 5sigma discovery and 95% C.L. exclusion contours are also provided.

description: We present the results of ALMA-ACA 7 m-array observations in $^{12}$CO($J=2-1$), $^{13}$CO($J=2-1$), and C$^{18}$O($J=2-1$) line emission toward the molecular-gas disk in the Local Group spiral galaxy M33 at an angular resolution of 7".31 $\times$ 6".50 (30 pc $\times$ 26 pc). We combined the ACA 7 m-array $^{12}$CO($J=2-1$) data with the IRAM 30 m data to compensate for emission from diffuse molecular-gas components. The ACA+IRAM combined $^{12}$CO($J=2-1$) map clearly depicts the cloud-scale molecular-gas structure over the M33 disk. Based on the ACA+IRAM $^{12}$CO($J=2-1$) cube data, we cataloged 848 molecular clouds with a mass range from $10^3$ $M_{\odot}$ to $10^6$ $M_{\odot}$. We found that high-mass clouds ($\geq 10^5 M_{\odot}$) tend to associate with the $8 μ$m-bright sources in the spiral arm region, while low-mass clouds ($< 10^5 M_{\odot}$) tend to be apart from such $8 μ$m-bright sources and to exist in the inter-arm region. We compared the cataloged clouds with GMCs observed by the IRAM 30 m telescope at 49 pc resolution (IRAM GMC: Corbelli et al. 2017), and found that a small IRAM GMC is likely to be identified as a single molecular cloud even in ACA+IRAM CO data, while a large IRAM GMC can be resolved into multiple ACA+IRAM clouds. The velocity dispersion of a large IRAM GMC is mainly dominated by the line-of-sight velocity difference between small clouds inside the GMC rather than the internal cloud velocity broadening.

Transportation Challenges in Accessing Health Care in North Carolina
Creators: name: Madeley, Michelle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This purpose of this paper is to describe transportation as an enabling prerequisite for accessing health care and, accordingly, how transportation-disadvantaged populations face challenges to using health care. I will describe the types of government-provided transportation options available to carless individuals, the unique transportation challenges, and their coping strategies. Finally, I will discuss opportunities for local governments to leverage existing supportive networks to improve access to health care.
This paper uses qualitative data from key informant interviews and focus groups conducted in six North Carolina counties in 2013 for an NCDOT-sponsored project. Through coding and analyzing the data for the NCDOT research project, we found that access to health care was a salient concern in all six counties. I then conducted a literature review on transportation and health care and synthesized the access to health care findings from our interviews and focus groups.
I found that government provision of transportation services is a resource for transportation-disadvantaged populations. However, even with transit or paratransit, there are many challenges for individuals, including long waits, logistics, high costs, and trip restrictions. To cope, individuals often rely upon non-governmental resources like non-profits or employer-provided transportation. They also use informal solutions like social support networks and self-reliance to get to health care.
Agencies in local government should collaborate with each other, with non-profits, and with informal social networks that also provide transportation to more efficiently and effectively improve access to health care for transportation-disadvantaged populations.

description: A torsion-bar antenna (TOBA) is a low-frequency terrestrial gravitational wave (GW) antenna which consists of two orthogonal bar-shaped test masses. We upgraded the prototype TOBA and achieved the strain sensitivity $10^{-10}$ Hz$^{-1/2}$ at around 1 Hz. We operated the upgraded TOBA (called the "Phase-II TOBA") located at Tokyo in Japan for 22.5 hours and performed an all-sky coherent search for continuous GWs using the $\mathcal{F}$-statistic. We place upper limits on continuous GWs from electromagnetically unknown sources in the frequency range from 6 Hz to 7 Hz with the first derivative of frequency less than $7.62 \times 10^{-11}$ Hz/s using data from the TOBA. As a result, no significant GW signals are found in the frequency band 6-7 Hz. The most stringent upper limit upper limit on the dimensionless GW strain with 95% confidence level in this band is $3.6 \times 10^{-12}$ at 6.84 Hz.

description: We consider a new formulation of the stochastic coupled cluster method in terms of the similarity transformed Hamiltonian. We show that improvement in the granularity with which the wavefunction is represented results in a reduction in the critical population required to correctly sample the wavefunction for a range of systems and excitation levels and hence leads to a substantial reduction in the computational cost. This development has the potential to substantially extend the range of the method, enabling it to be used to treat larger systems with excitation levels not easily accessible with conventional deterministic methods.

description: Previous studies have shown that Christians vary in their faith maturity, which is associated with different outcomes. In this study, we test whether faith maturity may have a moderating effect on negative life events, which can befall anyone. While there are robust effects of negative life events on wellbeing outcomes, Christians who are more mature in their faith may be more resilient when the storms come.
