Tier B Municipal Stormwater Guidance Document
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Division of Water Quality, Municipal Stormwater Regulation Program
Year: 2004

description: The Municipal Stormwater Regulation Program addresses pollutants entering our waters from certain storm drainage systems owned or operated by local, county, state, interstate, or federal government agencies. The purpose of this Guidance Document is to assist the Tier B municipalities in understanding what is required under the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Regulation Program, and how to assist in complying with the Tier B Permit. The permits address stormwater quality issues related to new development, redevelopment and existing developed areas by requiring the development of a stormwater program and implementation of specific permit requirements referred to as Statewide Basic Requirements (SBRs). The Guidance Document includes various chapters, many of which are solely dedicated to discussing specific permit requirements. These permit requirements are either SBRs or related Best Management Practices (BMPs). Each specific permit requirement, whether it be a SBR or BMP, is broken down into three section headings: "What is required?," "What does this mean?" and "Want to know more?" These section headings are intended to make understanding and implementing the permit language easier. This document also contains model ordinances for controlling stormwater and nonpoint source pollution.

description: We enter the details of two recent articles concerning as many chemotaxis models, one nonlinear and the other linear, and both with produced chemoattractant and saturated chemorepellent. These works, when properly analyzed, leave open room for some improvement of their results. We generalize the outcomes of the mentioned articles, establish other statements and put all the claims together; in particular, we select the sharpest ones and schematize them. Moreover, we complement our research also when logistic sources are considered in the overall study.

description: We investigate the relation between the standard Newtonian equations for a pressureless fluid (dust) and the Einstein equations in a double expansion in small scales and small metric perturbations. We find that parts of the Einstein equations can be rewritten as a closed system of two coupled differential equations for the scalar and transverse vector metric perturbations in Poisson gauge. It is then shown that this system is equivalent to the Newtonian system of continuity and Euler equations. Brustein and Riotto (2011) conjectured the equivalence of these systems in the special case where vector perturbations were neglected. We show that this approach does not lead to the Euler equation but to a physically different one with large deviations already in the 1-loop power spectrum. We show that it is also possible to consistently set to zero the vector perturbations which strongly constrains the allowed initial conditions, in particular excluding Gaussian ones such that inclusion of vector perturbations is inevitable in the cosmological context. In addition we derive nonlinear equations for the gravitational slip and tensor perturbations, thereby extending Newtonian gravity of a dust fluid to account for nonlinear light propagation effects and dust-induced gravitational waves.

description: Free-space optic (FSO) is a promising solution to provide broadband Internet access for high-speed trains (HSTs). Besides, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) are considered as hardware technology to improve performance of optical wireless communication systems. In this paper, we propose a RIS-assisted FSO system to provide access connectivity for HTSs, as an upgrade for the existing direct and relay-assisted FSO access setups. Our motivation is mainly based on well-proven results indicating that a RIS-assisted optical wireless system, with a large enough number of RIS elements, outperforms a relay-assisted one thanks to its programmable structure. We firstly compute the statistical expressions of the considered RIS-assisted FSO channels under weak and moderate-to-strong fading conditions. Then, the network's average signal-to-noise ratio and outage probability are formulated based on the assumed fading conditions, and for two fixed- and dynamic-oriented RIS coverage scenarios. Our results reveal that the proposed access network offers up to around 44% higher data rates and 240% wider coverage area for each FSO base station (FSO-BS) compared to those of the relay-assisted one. The increase of coverage area, on average, reduces 67% the number of required FSO-BSs for a given distance, which results in fewer handover processes compared to the alternative setups. Finally, the results are verified through Monte-Carlo simulations.

description: Spin evolution of X-ray pulsars in High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) is discussed under various assumptions about the geometry and physical parameters of the accretion flow. The torque applied to the neutron star from the accretion flow and equilibrium period of the pulsars are evaluated. We show that the observed spin evolution of the pulsars can be explained in terms of a scenario in which the neutron star accretes material from a magnetized stellar wind.

description: We present exact solutions for the quantum time evolution of two spatially separated, local inductor-capacitor (LC) oscillators that are coupled optomechanically to a long elastic strip that functions as a quantum thermal acoustic field environment. We show that the optomechanical coupling to the acoustic environment gives rise to causal entanglement dynamics between the two LC oscillators in the absence of resonant photon exchange between them, and that significant entanglement develops regardless of the environment temperature. Such a process establishes that distributed entanglement may be generated between superconducting qubits via a connected phonon bus bar, without the need for resonant phonon release and capture.

description: Maximally supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory in four dimensions can be formulated on a space-time lattice while exactly preserving a single supersymmetry. Here we explore in detail this lattice theory, paying particular attention to its strongly coupled regime. Targeting a theory with gauge group SU(N), the lattice formulation is naturally described in terms of gauge group U(N). Although the U(1) degrees of freedom decouple in the continuum limit we show that these degrees of freedom lead to unwanted lattice artifacts at strong coupling. We demonstrate that these lattice artifacts can be removed, leaving behind a lattice formulation based on the SU(N) gauge group with the expected apparently conformal behavior at both weak and strong coupling.

description: New Jersey's freshwater and tidal wetland regulations today prohibit most infilling and development of mapped wetlands. This document reports on a preliminary analysis of existing and draft spatial data to approximate how much wetland area was directly impacted by recent development and how much of neighboring wetland buffer area may have been impacted. The report describes the methods and reports the results of preliminary analyses of these data. Results show patterns of temporal and spatial distribution of the impacts of development. The data also allow for a preliminary examination of the impacts and potential impacts on different types of wetlands. These preliminary results suggest a broad finding for New Jersey: For every acre of wetlands that are destroyed directly by conversion to an urban landuse, approximately 5 acres are exposed to potential degradation or loss due to their proximity to new development.

description: We investigate the nonconservative open-system dynamics of an atom in a generic complex structured electromagnetic environment at temperature $T$. In such systems, when the atom moves along a translation-invariant axis of the environment, a frictional force acts on the particle. The effective viscosity due to friction results from the nonequilibrium interaction with the fluctuating (quantum) electromagnetic field, which effectively sets a privileged reference frame. We study the impact of both quantum or thermal fluctuations on the interaction and highlight how they induce qualitatively different types of viscosity, i.e. quantum and black-body friction. To this end, we develop a self-consistent non-Markovian description that contains the latter as special cases. In particular, we show how the interplay between the nonequilibrium dynamics, the quantum and the thermal properties of the radiation, as well as the confinement of light at the vacuum-material interface is responsible for several interesting and intriguing features. Our analyses is relevant for a future experimental test of noncontact friction and the resulting electromagnetic viscosity.

description: We investigate a mass deformation effect on the renormalized entanglement entropy (REE) near the UV fixed point in (2+1)-dimensional field theory. In the context of the gauge/gravity duality, we use the Lin-Lunin-Maldacena (LLM) geometries corresponding to the vacua of the mass-deformed ABJM theory. We analytically compute the small mass effect for various droplet configurations and show in holographic point of view that the REE is monotonically decreasing, positive, and stationary at the UV fixed point. These properties of the REE in (2+1)-dimensions are consistent with the Zamolodchikov $c$-function proposed in (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theory.

description: Expectations can substantially influence perception. Predictive coding is a theory of sensory processing that aims to explain the neural mechanisms underlying the effect of expectations in sensory processing. Its main assumption is that sensory neurons encode prediction error with respect to expected sensory input. Neural populations encoding prediction error have been previously reported in the human auditory cortex (AC); however, most studies focused on the encoding of pure tones and induced expectations by stimulus repetition, potentially confounding prediction error with effects of neural habituation. Here, we systematically studied prediction error to pure tones and fast frequency modulated (FM) sweeps across different auditory cortical fields in humans. We conducted two fMRI experiments, each using one type of stimulus. We measured BOLD responses across the bilateral auditory cortical fields Te1.0, Te1.1, Te1.2, and Te3 while participants listened to sequences of sounds. We induced subjective expectations on the incoming sounds independently of stimulus repetition using abstract rules. Our results indicate that pure tones and FM-sweeps are encoded as prediction error with respect to the participants' expectations across auditory cortical fields. The topographical distribution of neural populations encoding prediction error to pure tones and FM-sweeps was highly correlated in left Te1.1 and Te1.2, and in bilateral Te3, suggesting that predictive coding is the general encoding mechanism in AC.

description: Self-supervised learning (SSL) achieves great success in speech recognition, while limited exploration has been attempted for other speech processing tasks. As speech signal contains multi-faceted information including speaker identity, paralinguistics, spoken content, etc., learning universal representations for all speech tasks is challenging. To tackle the problem, we propose a new pre-trained model, WavLM, to solve full-stack downstream speech tasks. WavLM jointly learns masked speech prediction and denoising in pre-training. By this means, WavLM does not only keep the speech content modeling capability by the masked speech prediction, but also improves the potential to non-ASR tasks by the speech denoising. In addition, WavLM employs gated relative position bias for the Transformer structure to better capture the sequence ordering of input speech. We also scale up the training dataset from 60k hours to 94k hours. WavLM Large achieves state-of-the-art performance on the SUPERB benchmark, and brings significant improvements for various speech processing tasks on their representative benchmarks. The code and pre-trained models are available at https://aka.ms/wavlm.

description: We compare various models and approximations for non-linear mean-field dynamos in disc galaxies to assess their applicability and accuracy, and thus to suggest a set of simple solutions suitable to model the large-scale galactic magnetic fields in various contexts. The dynamo saturation mechanisms considered are the magnetic helicity balance involving helicity fluxes (the dynamical $α$-quenching) and an algebraic $α$-quenching. The non-linear solutions are then compared with the marginal kinematic and asymptotic solutions. We also discuss the accuracy of the no-$z$ approximation. Although these tools are very different in the degree of approximation and hence complexity, they all lead to remarkably similar solutions for the mean magnetic field. In particular, we show that the algebraic $α$-quenching non-linearity can be obtained from a more physical dynamical $α$-quenching model in the limit of nearly azimuthal magnetic field. This suggests, for instance, that earlier results on galactic disc dynamos based on the simple algebraic non-linearity are likely to be reliable, and that estimates based on simple, even linear models are often a good starting point. We suggest improved no-$z$ and algebraic $α$-quenching models, and also incorporate galactic outflows into a simple analytical dynamo model to show that the outflow can produce leading magnetic spirals near the disc surface. The simple dynamo models developed are applied to estimate the magnetic pitch angle and the arm-interarm contrast in the saturated magnetic field strength for realistic parameter values.

We exhibit the existence of a sound mode which is described by hydrodynamics, even at energies much larger than the temperature, and explain how this, and other properties of the field theory, are consistent with those of a (3+1)-dimensional Landau Fermi liquid, finely tuned to the Pomeranchuk critical point. We also discuss how one could engineer a higher-derivative gravitational Lagrangian which reproduces the correct low temperature behavior of shear viscosity in a generic Landau Fermi liquid.

description: Integrated superconducting spectrometer (ISS) technology will enable ultra-wideband, integral-field spectroscopy for (sub)millimeter-wave astronomy, in particular, for uncovering the dust-obscured cosmic star formation and galaxy evolution over cosmic time. Here we present the development of DESHIMA 2.0, an ISS for ultra-wideband spectroscopy toward high-redshift galaxies. DESHIMA 2.0 is designed to observe the 220-440 GHz band in a single shot, corresponding to a redshift range of $z$=3.3-7.6 for the ionized carbon emission ([C II] 158 $μ$m). The first-light experiment of DESHIMA 1.0, using the 332-377 GHz band, has shown an excellent agreement among the on-sky measurements, the lab measurements, and the design. As a successor to DESHIMA 1.0, we plan the commissioning and the scientific observation campaign of DESHIMA 2.0 on the ASTE 10-m telescope in 2023. Ongoing upgrades for the full octave-bandwidth system include the wideband 347-channel chip design and the wideband quasi-optical system. For efficient measurements, we also develop the observation strategy using the mechanical fast sky-position chopper and the sky-noise removal technique based on a novel data-scientific approach. In the paper, we show the recent status of the upgrades and the plans for the scientific observation campaign.

description: Recent studies of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) have revealed exciting optical properties like stable excitons and chiral light-matter interactions. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques provide a platform for the fabrication of nanostructures with diverse geometries, ranging from horizontal flakes to flower-like structures. Raman spectroscopy is commonly used to characterize TMDs and their properties. Here, we use polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy to probe the nanogeometry and orientation of WS2 nanoflower petals. Exciting the nanoflowers with linearly polarized light, we observe an enhanced Raman response from flower petals oriented along the excitation polarization direction. Furthermore, the helicity-resolved Raman response of vertically oriented wall-like flower petals exhibits clear differences with horizontally oriented flakes. Although the photoluminescence from the nanoflowers is strongly reduced, the Raman response upon excitation in resonance with the WS2 excitonic transition does reveal the presence of the exciton, which results in a distinct temperature dependence of the Raman response.

Μέθοδοι: Η ανασκόπηση εξέτασε όλους τους τύπους μελετών σχετικών με το θέμα που γράφτηκαν στην Αγγλική γλώσσα και δημοσιεύτηκαν από το 1997 έως το 2021. Συνολικά, 87 μελέτες επιλέχθηκαν μέσω των διαφόρων βασικών ηλεκτρονικών βάσεων δεδομένων. Αποτελέσματα: Αυτή είναι η πρώτη συστηματική ανασκόπηση που εξετάζει τις εκπαιδευτικές ανάγκες των πατέρων ως προς τη συμμετοχή τους στην περιγεννητική φροντίδα. Δεκαεπτά από τις 87 μελέτες πληρούσαν τα κριτήρια ένταξης και θεωρήθηκαν έγκυρες.

Here we study the interplay of ferromagnetic order and spin orbit interactions at the zigzag edges of these graphene-like systems. We find an in-plane magnetic anisotropy that opens a gap in the otherwise conducting edge channels, that should result in large changes of electronic properties upon rotation of the magnetization.

description: Developing sustainable and scalable educational initiatives is a key challenge in low-income countries where donor-funded short-term projects are limited by both contextual factors and programme design. In this concept paper we examine some of the issues related to in-service teacher development in the context of sub-Saharan Africa, grounded predominantly in our experiences of over 5 years of iteratively developing, refining and evaluating an intensive school-based professional learning programme for primary school teachers. “OER4Schools” integrates interactive pedagogy, Open Educational Resources (OER) and use of mobile devices (where available). The focus of this paper is on identifying what the main factors are perceived to be in sustaining and scaling up such a programme, from the perspectives of participating teachers, workshop facilitators and the research team. Synthesising our previous research and drawing on recent work in the field, we identify the key characteristics of effective and sustainable professional learning in low-resourced contexts. Such characteristics include effective peer facilitation, school-based active learning, explicit programme structure, appropriate scheduling and resourcing, and mitigating resource constraints through use of OER. Our conclusions thereby offer insights concerning the importance and impact of wider influences on participation and engagement of stakeholders and lead to recommendations for programme design and implementation, that should be taken on board by future initiatives.

description: Motivated by recent experiments, we study the relaxation dynamics and thermalization in the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model induced by a global interaction quench. Specifically, we start from an initial state that has exactly one boson per site and is the ground state of a system with infinitely strong repulsive interactions at unit filling. Using exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group method, we compute the time dependence of such observables as the multiple occupancy and the momentum distribution function. Typically, the relaxation to stationary values occurs over just a few tunneling times. The stationary values are identical to the so-called diagonal ensemble on the system sizes accessible to our numerical methods and we further observe that the micro-canonical ensemble describes the steady state of many observables reasonably well for small and intermediate interaction strength. The expectation values of observables in the canonical ensemble agree quantitatively with the time averages obtained from the quench at small interaction strengths, and qualitatively provide a good description of steady-state values even in parameter regimes where the micro-canonical ensemble is not applicable due to finite-size effects. We discuss our numerical results in the framework of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Moreover, we also observe that the diagonal and the canonical ensemble are practically identical for our initial conditions already on the level of their respective energy distributions for small interaction strengths. Finally, we discuss implications of our results for the interpretation of a recent sudden expansion experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 205301 (2013)], in which the same interaction quench was realized.

SimAb: A simple, fast and flexible model to assess the effects of planet formation on the atmospheric composition of gas giants

description: We present a basic, fast, and flexible planet formation model, called SimAb (Simulating Abundances), to form giant planets and study their primary atmospheric composition soon after their formation. In SimAb we introduce parameters to simplify the assumptions about the complex physics involved in the formation of a planet. This approach allows us to trace and understand the influence of complex physical processes on the formed planets. We focus on the C/O ratio and the metallicity of the planetary atmosphere as an indicator of their compositions. We show that the initial protoplanet core mass does not influence the final composition of the planetary atmosphere in the context of our model. The initial orbital distance affects the C/O ratio due to the different C/O ratios in the gas phase and the solid phase at different orbital distances. Additionally, the initial orbital distance together with the amount of accreted planetesimals cause the planet to have sub-solar or super-solar metallicity. Furthermore, the C/O ratio is affected by the dust grain fraction and the planetesimal fraction. Planets that accrete most of their heavy elements through dust grains will have a C/O ratio close to the solar C/O ratio, while planets that accrete most of their heavy elements from the planetesimals in the disk will end up with a C/O ratio closer to the C/O ratio in the solid phase of the disk. By using the C/O ratio and metallicity together we can put a lower and upper boundary on the initial orbital distance where super-solar metallicity planets are formed. We show that planetesimals are the main source for reaching super-solar metallicity planets. On the other hand, planets that mainly accrete dust grains will show a more solar composition. Super-solar metallicity planets that initiate their formation farther than the CO ice line have a C/O ratio closer to the solar value.

description: The facility-wide permit (FWP) pilot project in New Jersey was the first permit innovation program in the United States to issue binding multimedia permits. As the FWP pilot nears completion, it is useful to reflect on what has been accomplished and learned. This report evaluates the effectiveness of the FWP and derives lessons for future permitting initiatives from the FWP pilot and other innovative permitting projects that have evolved during the 1990s.

description: We study the quasinormal mode eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the Teukolsky equation in a horizon penetrating, hyperboloidally compactified (HPHC) coordinate system. Following earlier work by Zengino\u{g}lu (arXiv:1102.2451), we show that the quasinormal eigenfunctions for the Teukolsky equation are regular from the black hole horizon to future null infinity in these coordinates. We then present several example quasinormal eigenfunction solutions, and study some of their properties in the near-extremal Kerr limit.

description: In this paper some results about the controllability of spectral centrality in a complex network are presented. In particular, the inverse problem of designing an unweigthed graph with a prescribed centrality is considered, by showing that for every possible ranking eventually with ties, an unweighted directed/undirected complex network can be found whose PageRank or eigenvector centrality gives the ranking considered. Different families of networks are presented in order to analytically solve this problem either for directed and undirected graphs with and without loops.

description: This paper presents a Bayesian image segmentation model based on Potts prior and loopy belief propagation. The proposed Bayesian model involves several terms, including the pairwise interactions of Potts models, and the average vectors and covariant matrices of Gauss distributions in color image modeling. These terms are often referred to as hyperparameters in statistical machine learning theory. In order to determine these hyperparameters, we propose a new scheme for hyperparameter estimation based on conditional maximization of entropy in the Potts prior. The algorithm is given based on loopy belief propagation. In addition, we compare our conditional maximum entropy framework with the conventional maximum likelihood framework, and also clarify how the first order phase transitions in LBP's for Potts models influence our hyperparameter estimation procedures.
