description: We model the impact of non-uniform cloud cover on transit transmission spectra. Patchy clouds exist in nearly every solar system atmosphere, brown dwarfs, and transiting exoplanets. Our major findings suggest that fractional cloud coverage can exactly mimic high mean molecular weight atmospheres and vice-versa over certain wavelength regions, in particular, over the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) bandpass (1.1-1.7 $μ$m). We also find that patchy cloud coverage exhibits a signature that is different from uniform global clouds. Furthermore, we explain analytically why the "patchy cloud-high mean molecular weight" degeneracy exists. We also explore the degeneracy of non-uniform cloud coverage in atmospheric retrievals on both synthetic and real planets. We find from retrievals on a synthetic solar composition hot Jupiter with patchy clouds and a cloud free high mean molecular weight warm Neptune, that both cloud free high mean molecular weight atmospheres and partially cloudy atmospheres can explain the data equally well. Another key find is that the HST WFC3 transit transmission spectra of two well observed objects, the hot Jupiter HD189733b and the warm Neptune HAT-P-11b, can be explained well by solar composition atmospheres with patchy clouds without the need to invoke high mean molecular weight or global clouds. The degeneracy between high molecular weight and solar composition partially cloudy atmospheres can be broken by observing the molecular Rayleigh scattering differences between the two. Furthermore, the signature of partially cloudy limbs also appears as a $\sim$100 ppm residual in the ingress and egress of the transit light curves, provided the transit timing is known to seconds.

description: The importance of charge reservoir layers for supplying holes to the CuO$_2$ planes of cuprate superconductors has long been recognized. Less attention has been paid to the screening of the charge transfer by the intervening ionic layers. We address this issue in the case of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$, where CuO chains supply the holes for the planes. We present a simple dielectric-screening model that gives a linear correlation between the relative displacements of ions along the $c$ axis, determined by neutron powder diffraction, and the hole density of the planes. Applying this model to the temperature dependent shifts of ions along the $c$ axis, we infer a charge transfer of 5-10% of the hole density from the planes to the chains on warming from the superconducting transition to room temperature. Given the significant coupling of $c$-axis displacements to the average charge density, we point out the relevance of local displacements for screening charge modulations and note recent evidence for dynamic screening of in-plane quasiparticles. This line of argument leads us to a simple model for atomic displacements and charge modulation that is consistent with images from scanning-tunneling microscopy for underdoped Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$.

What can the CMB tell about the microphysics of cosmic reheating?

description: In inflationary cosmology, cosmic reheating after inflation sets the initial conditions for the hot big bang. We investigate how CMB data can be used to study the effective potential and couplings of the inflaton during reheating and constrain the underlying microphysics. If there is a phase of preheating that is driven by a parametric resonance or other instability, then the thermal history and expansion history during the reheating era depend on a large number of microphysical parameters in a complicated way. In this case the connection between CMB observables and microphysical parameters can only established with intense numerical studies. Such studies can help to improve CMB constraints on the effective inflaton potential in specific models, but parameter degeneracies usually make it impossible to extract meaningful best-fit values for individual microphysical parameters. If, on the other hand, reheating is driven by perturbative processes, then it can be possible to constrain the inflaton couplings and the reheating temperature from CMB data. This provides an indirect probe of fundamental microphysical parameters that most likely can never be measured directly in the laboratory, but have an immense impact on the evolution of the cosmos by setting the stage for the hot big bang.

On the migration of three planets in a protoplanetary disc and the formation of chains of mean motion resonances
Creators: name: Migaszewski, Cezary
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the migration of three-planet systems in an irradiated 1+1D $α$-disc with photoevaporation. We performed $2700$ simulations with various planets' masses and initial orbits. We found that most of the systems which ended up as compact configurations form chains of mean motion resonances (MMRs) of the first and higher orders. Most of the systems involved in chains of MMRs are periodic configurations. The period ratios of such system, though, are not necessarily close to exact commensurability. If a given system resides in a divergent migration zone in the disc, the period ratios increase and evolve along resonant divergent migration paths at ($P_2/P_1, P_3/P_2)$-diagram, where $P_1, P_2, P_3$ are the orbital periods of the first, second and third planet, respectively. The observed systems, though, do not lie on those paths. We show that an agreement between the synthetic and the observed systems distributions could be achieved if the orbital circularization was slower than it results from models of the planet-disc interactions. Therefore, we conclude that most of those systems unlikely formed as a result of divergent migration out of nominal chains of MMRs.

description: My research addresses the question: What constitutes a high quality local government emergency management response plan? To answer this question, I developed an evaluation tool to measure the quality of local government emergency management response plans. This study applies a similar methodology to plan quality studies that have been completed for hazard mitigation and disaster recovery plans. The evaluation tool that I developed is framed using plan quality principles derived from standards used in planning practice. Furthermore, the indicators in each principle were developed through an iterative process which I will explain in the Methodology section.

description: We consider the two flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model within the RPA framework to evaluate the masses of the $σ$ and $π^0$ mesons and the $π^0$ decay constant in the presence of a magnetic field at vanishing temperatures and baryonic densities. The present work extends other RPA applications by fully considering the external momenta, which enter the integrals representing the magnetized polarization tensor, so that more accurate results can be obtained in the evaluation of physical quantities containing pionic contributions. As we show, this technical improvement generates results which agree well with those produced by lattice simulations and chiral perturbation theory. Our method may also prove to be useful in future evaluations of quantities such as the shear viscosity and the equation of state of magnetized quark matter with mesonic contributions.

description: It has been shown that semantic information, even when task-irrelevant, may bias attention during visual search. To further test the hypothesis that task-irrelevant semantic information influences attentional allocation, we modify a paradigm that is based on a previous study (Malcolm et al., 2016), where a salient distractor will be added into each trial to capture attention. We will examine the effect of semantic information on distractor capture, and whether/how they combine to influence visual search.

description: Bien que la pratique du vélo utilitaire procure de multiples bénéfices individuels et collectifs, elle est aussi associée à des risques de conflits, de blessures et de décès. En effet, l’exposition des cyclistes au trafic routier les rend particulièrement vulnérables. Cette étude s’intéresse aux conflits – évènements sans collision – vécus par les cyclistes dans la région de Québec. L’objectif est double : évaluer l’occurrence de dix types de conflits cyclistes et identifier les types d’axes routiers et cyclables ayant un effet significatif sur les conflits. Pour ce faire, une collecte de données a été réalisée avec des vélos instrumentés (caméras et GPS) durant cinq jours en septembre 2019, avec un total de 1 741 km et de 102 heures. L’analyse des vidéos a permis d’identifier 470 conflits. La construction de trois modèles généralisés additifs logistiques a révélé les effets des types de routes et d’aménagements cyclables sur la probabilité d’un conflit avec un véhicule motorisé, une personne à pied et un autre vélo. Il en ressort que la présence d’une bande cyclable sur rue augmente significativement la probabilité d’un conflit avec un véhicule (stationné temporairement) ou avec des personnes marchant dans la bande cyclable. De nombreux conflits se produisent sur les pistes cyclables, soit avec un véhicule à l’intersection d’une voie routière (en l’absence d’un passage cyclable peint au sol), soit le long des pistes cyclables empruntées par des personnes qui marchent ou qui courent.

description: Darwinian evolution can be modeled in general terms as a flow in the space of fitness (i.e. reproductive rate) distributions. In the diffusion approximation, Tsimring et al. have showed that this flow admits "fitness wave" solutions: Gaussian-shape fitness distributions moving towards higher fitness values at constant speed. Here we show more generally that evolving fitness distributions are attracted to a one-parameter family of distributions with a fixed parabolic relationship between skewness and kurtosis. Unlike fitness waves, this statistical pattern encompasses both positive and negative (a.k.a. purifying) selection and is not restricted to rapidly adapting populations. Moreover we find that the mean fitness of a population under the selection of pre-existing variation is a power-law function of time, as observed in microbiological evolution experiments but at variance with fitness wave theory. At the conceptual level, our results can be viewed as the resolution of the "dynamic insufficiency" of Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection. Our predictions are in good agreement with numerical simulations.

The downward spiral: cash flow issues in low income housing tax credit properties
Creators: name: Korman-Houston, Shaina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: For the past twenty-five years the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) has been the primary source of federally subsidized affordable rental housing production in the United States. The program is market-oriented in financing and operations. Tax incentives are used to attract private investment to projects, and competed projects are expected to be self-sufficient. Although there are rent limits and tenant income restrictions, LIHTC projects often compete against the open market for tenants. This market based structure, combined with several other financing provisions places extraordinary strain on projects to maintain sufficient cash flow levels. A 2004 report indicated an increasing number of projects were unable to do so. This report finds that a large number of LIHTC projects do experience cash flow problems of some magnitude. A common method of addressing cash shortfalls is to draw upon funds budgeted for routine repairs and maintenance to support other operating needs. This report finds that the strategy simply leads to declining property conditions and lower occupancy and rents. The low occupancy and rent levels drag down revenue, which exacerbates cash flow problems, beginning a downward spiral of physical and financial conditions at the property.

description: Linear response theory, the backbone of non-equilibrium statistical physics, has recently been extended to explain how and why non-ergodic renewal processes are insensitive to simple perturbations, such as in habituation. It was established that a permanent correlation resulted between an external stimulus and the response of a complex system generating non-ergodic renewal processes, when the stimulus is a similar non-ergodic process. This is the principle of complexity management, whose proof relies on ensemble distribution functions. Herein we extend the proof to the non-ergodic case using time averages and a single time series, hence making it usable in real life situations where ensemble averages cannot be performed because of the very nature of the complex systems being studied.

Ramble back home: the role of historic urban parks in the new era of urbanism case studies from three North Carolina cities
Creators: name: Dillard, Charles
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The American city has always been about open space. Colonial Americans demonstrated an agrarian ideal in spaces like Boston's Common and Savannah's and Philadelphia's squares. No one better represents the philosophy of open space in American society than Thomas Jefferson, who, as one writer suggests, helped "lead to the integration of natural elements into town and city development." 1 Following right in line, New York City, which was the first to experience the onset of industrialization on a massive scale, turned to a park to holistically cleanse Manhattan of its inorganic growth. The result, Central Park, remains today one of this country's proudest icons, as well as one of the best functioning and most loved open spaces in the world. And it is still solving the problems it was created to solve. Despite the overwhelming evidence stating that parks provide cities with valuable and unique resources and that they have proven vital tools in revitalization efforts the world over, many American cities have yet to return to the open space tradition that guided urban development in the United States for hundreds of years. The cities Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Raleigh in North Carolina represent three typical examples of American cities experiencing increased investment and activity in their urban cores. However, an analysis of each of these cities' urban core park strategies reveals varying degrees of success, in both the maintenance of quality public parks, and in terms of the benefits reaped from these parks. Methodology In this report, I will analyze the efforts of three North Carolina cities in implementing historic park redevelopment strategies as part of more comprehensive urban revitalization schemes. Hanes Park in Winston-Salem, Fisher Park in Greensboro and Moore Square in Raleigh are three historic public spaces in their respective city's core. Each park exists within a unique spatial, social and political environment that greatly affects the potential success of preservation and redevelopment techniques. After providing a brief introduction of each park's history, I will present a detailed study of the documented benefits of urban parks to cities. From there, I will present best practices in urban park space preservation from the United States and abroad. Cities throughout the world recognize those benefits accrued from urban parks and have implemented a number of innovative preservation strategies. Subsequently, I will return to the three North Carolina parks, analyzing past, current and future preservation initiatives. Finally, I will recommend context-sensitive solutions for each park, applying the studied benefits and best practices as a guiding framework. I hope to highlight the need for increased focus on urban park preservation as strategies within larger urban revitalization efforts, especially in North Carolina.

Farm preservation: conservation options for Sugar Cove Farm
Creators: name: Reynolds, Sara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Urban development is threatening rural living in Haywood County, North Carolina. Farm preservation is one means to ensure the protection of agricultural practices, natural resources, and aesthetic beauty in the region. The following report summarizes conservation options that can protect Sugar Cove Farm located in Cruso, Haywood County. Rapid development in Haywood County, North Carolina is threatening to destroy the natural ecology, agricultural productivity, and scenic beauty found in the Appalachian Mountains. Between 2002 and 2007, North Carolina lost 600,000 acres of farmland according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service. In addition, thousands of acres of forestland have also been converted to development. Farmland protection is becoming increasingly important as urban areas continue to expand because agriculture is North Carolina's biggest industry, contributing approximately $70 billion to the state economy each year. Conservation options: There are several options available to private landowners who wish to conserve land and regulate development on their property. It is especially important that privately-held land is conserved because the development of private forests for residential and other uses such as timber production threatens to significantly reduce forest cover in North Carolina.

description: Neutrino oscillations are now a well-stablished and deeply studied phenomena. Their mixing parameters, except for the CP phase, are measured with good accuracy. The three-neutrino oscillation picture in matter is currently of great interest due to the different long-baseline neutrino experiments that are already running or under construction. In this work, we reanalyze the exact expression for the neutrino probabilities (in a constant density medium) and introduce an approximate formula. Our results are shown in a formulation that is independent of the parametrization and could be useful for unitary tests of the leptonic mixing matrix. We illustrate how the approximation, besides being simple, can reproduce the neutrino probabilities with good accuracy.

description: Chronic perineal pain is a common reason of consultation. Although the rheumatologist is not the first specialist consulted, his opinion is often sought. The etiological diagnosis is difficult and often delayed, resulting in inadequate therapeutic management. This commonly results in patient frustration, often associated with negative behavioural, sexual and psychosocial consequences. Pudendal neuralgia is a painful perineal neuropathic condition, involving the territory of the pudendal nerve. The clinical presentation is often complex and atypical. The anaesthetic block can be performed in case of doubtful situations. Pudendal nerve entrapment, a subcategory of pudendal neuralgia has been defined by the Nantes criteria. Differential diagnosis in rheumatology is done with coccygodynia and myofascial syndromes. The treatment is initially conservative based on psychotherapy, physiotherapy and medical treatment. In case of failure, invasive therapies such as infiltrations, radiofrequency and decompression surgery will be used.
description: Les algies périnéales chroniques représentent un motif fréquent de consultation. Bien que le rhumatologue ne soit pas le premier spécialiste consulté, son avis est souvent sollicité. Le diagnostic étiologique est difficile et souvent tardif d’où une prise en charge thérapeutique inadéquate. Il en résulte souvent une frustration du patient, associée à des conséquences comportementales, sexuelles et psychosociales négatives. La névralgie pudendale correspond à une douleur neuropathique périnéale intéressant le territoire du nerf pudendal. Le tableau clinique est souvent complexe et atypique. Le piégeage du nerf pudendal, une sous-catégorie de la névralgie pudendale, a été défini par les critères de Nantes. Le bloc anesthésique est utile en cas de doute diagnostique. Les diagnostics différentiels à participation rhumatologique se font essentiellement avec la coccygodynie et les syndromes myo-fasciaux. Le traitement est d’abord conservateur basé sur la psychothérapie, la kinésithérapie et le traitement médical. Face à l’échec de ces mesures, les thérapies invasives telles que les infiltrations, la radiofréquence et la chirurgie de décompression seront utilisées.

description: In this paper, we use the exact renormalisation in the context of tensor models and tensorial group field theories. As a byproduct, we rederive Gaussian universality for random tensors and provide a general power counting for Abelian tensorial field theories with a closure constraint, leading us to a only five renormalizable theories.

Design Community: The Potential for Community Design in the Triangle

description: “. . . As a profession, you are not a profession that has distinguished itself by your
social and civic contributions to the cause of civil rights, and I am sure this has not
come to you as any shock. You are most distinguished by your thunderous silence
and your complete irrelevance. Now, you have a nice, normal escape hatch in
your historical ethical code or something that says after all, you are the designers
and not the builders; your role is to give people what they want.”
Civil rights leader Whitney M. Young Jr.’s address to the 1968 National Convention of the American
Institute of Architects is widely cited as the impetus for the community design movement. Mr. Young was
blunt in his criticism of the architecture profession – he cited it as irrelevant due to its indifference to the
most important social issues of the time.
In response to this call to action, the community design movement began to take root.
Building on early initiatives such as the Architects Renewal Committee of Harlem as well as ideas of
advocacy planning, community design drew in not only architects but also planners and others interested
in more participatory, democratic design processes.
One of the founders of the community design movement, Henry Sanoff, states: “Community design is an
umbrella term that also embraces community planning, community architecture, social architecture,
community development, and community participation. Community design, as a movement, emerged
from the growing realization that the mismanagement of the physical environment is a major factor
contributing to the social and economic ills of the world and that there are better ways of going about
designing and planning.”
An invasive seagrass drives its own success in two invaded seas by both negatively affecting native seagrasses and benefiting from those costs

description: The nature and strength of interactions between native and invasive species can determine invasion success. Species interactions can drive, prevent or facilitate invasion, making understanding the nature and outcome of these interactions critical. We conducted mesocosm experiments to test the outcome of interactions between Halophila stipulacea, a seagrass that invaded the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas, and native seagrasses (Cymodocea nodosa and Syringodium filiforme, respectively) to elucidate mechanisms explaining the successful invasions. Mesocosms contained intact cores with species grown either mixed or alone. Overall, in both locations, there was a pattern of the invasive growing faster with the native than when alone, while also negatively affecting the native, with similar patterns for shoot density, aboveground and belowground biomass. In the Caribbean, H. stipulacea increased by 5.6 ± 1.0 SE shoots in 6 weeks when grown with the native while, when alone, there was a net loss of −0.8 ± 1.6 SE shoots. The opposite pattern occurred for S. filiforme, although these differences were not significant. While the pattern in the Mediterranean was the same as the Caribbean, with the invasive grown with the native increasing shoots more than when it grew alone, these differences for shoots were not significant. However, when measured as aboveground biomass, H. stipulacea had negative effects on the native C. nodosa. Our results suggest that a seagrass that invaded two seas may drive its own success by both negatively affecting native seagrasses and benefiting from that negative interaction. This is a novel example of a native seagrass species facilitating the success of an invasive at its own cost, providing one possible mechanism for the widespread success of this invasive species.

description: A new method of cooling positronium down is proposed to realize Bose-Einstein condensation of positronium. We perform detail studies about three processes (1) thermalization processes between positronium and silica walls of a cavity, (2) Ps-Ps scatterings and (3) Laser cooling. The thermalization process is shown to be not sufficient for BEC. Ps-Ps collision is also shown to make a big effect on the cooling performance. We combine both methods and establish an efficient cooling for BEC. We also propose a new optical laser system for the cooling.
