description: We derive a generalized deviation equation -- analogous to the well-known geodesic deviation equation -- for test bodies in General Relativity. Our result encompasses and generalizes previous extensions of the standard geodesic deviation equation. We show how the standard as well as a generalized deviation equation can be used to measure the curvature of spacetime by means of a set of test bodies. In particular, we provide exact solutions for the curvature by using the standard deviation equation as well as its next order generalization.

Worker displacement in the Brazilian sugar industry
Creators: name: Wolfe, Lacey Jane
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Workers around the globe are struggling with displacement. In order to effectively mitigate the effects of displacement for these individuals, policymakers need to know how they should allocate resources. This project focuses specifically on workers who have been laid off from the Brazilian sugarcane industry due to increased mechanization. The analysis was performed in two steps. First, Brazilian census data was analyzed to determine which groups of workers are most vulnerable to displacement. Second, case studies were utilized to formulate plans of action to reach out to these most vulnerable groups. The results, while most useful for retraining displaced sugar workers, also contribute to the body of knowledge concerning worker displacement.

Form factors in $B\to ππ\ell\barν_\ell$ from QCD light-cone sum rules
Creators: name: Hambrock, Christian

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The form factors of the semileptonic $B\to ππ\ell\barν$ decay are calculated from QCD light-cone sum rules with the distribution amplitudes of dipion states. This method is valid in the kinematical region, where the hadronic dipion state has a small invariant mass and simultaneously a large recoil. The derivation of the sum rules is complicated by the presence of an additional variable related to the angle between the two pions. In particular, we realize that not all invariant amplitudes in the underlying correlation function can be used, some of them generating kinematical singularities in the dispersion relation. The two sum rules that are free from these ambiguities are obtained in the leading twist-2 approximation, predicting the $\bar{B}^0\to π^+π^0$ form factors $F_{\perp}$ and $F_{\parallel}$ of the vector and axial $b\to u$ current, respectively. We calculate these form factors at the momentum transfers $0

description: In this paper we present a large database of weak lensing light cones constructed using different snapshots from the Big MultiDark simulation (BigMDPL). The ray-tracing through different multiple planes has been performed with the GLAMER code accounting both for single source redshifts and for sources distributed along the cosmic time. This first paper presents weak lensing forecasts and results according to the geometry of the VIPERS-W1 and VIPERS-W4 field of view. Additional fields will be available on our database and new ones can be run upon request. Our database also contains some tools for lensing analysis. In this paper we present results for convergence power spectra, one point and high order weak lensing statistics useful for forecasts and for cosmological studies. Covariance matrices have also been computed for the different realisations of the W1 and W4 fields. In addition we compute also galaxy-shear and projected density contrasts for different halo masses at two lens redshifts according to the CFHTLS source redshift distribution both using stacking and cross-correlation techniques, finding very good agreement.

description: This study investigated the metalinguistic reflections of 12 students, aged 14–15 years, undertaking a unit of work focused on reading and writing non-fiction. The unit embedded contextualised grammar teaching into preparation for English Language examinations. Students were interviewed twice, with prompts to discuss a sample of argument text in interview one, and a sample of their own writing in interview two. The interviews and subsequent analysis drew on Gombert's taxonomy of metalinguistic understanding, focusing on metasemantic, metasyntactic and metatextual reflections, and probing students’ ability to link these to metapragmatic concerns. Similarly to previous studies, the findings suggest that students struggle to articulate the impact of metasyntactic choices; however, here it is suggested that this may be a particular artefact of the need for a specialised metalanguage for discussing syntax. Results also indicate a tendency to reify form-function relationships, and signal the potential benefit of using students’ own writing as a platform for exploring authorial choices. Finally, the study contributes to the theorisation of metalinguistic understanding by suggesting how declarative knowledge may emerge from procedural activity, with interviews scaffolding students’ ability to articulate what had initially been tacit language choices.

Improving Bus Transit along a Corridor in Navi Mumbai, India
Creators: name: Kim, Melissa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This report was commissioned by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport Undertaking (NMMT),
the transit provider for Navi Mumbai, India. NMMT is currently facing several challenges. As in
many cities in developing countries, the city has experienced a rapid increase in motorization,
which has led to increase congestion and longer cycle times for NMMT buses. Consequently,
NMMT’s bus service quality has declined, resulting in lower customer satisfaction with the
service. NMMT is also faced with the issue that more than 20% of its scheduled kilometers are
cancelled due to bus breakdowns, cancellation of services, and traffic congestion.
This report focuses on NMMT’s bus operations along the Dombivali-Vashi corridor in Navi
Mumbai as well as on the transit system’s depot maintenance practices. Redesigning the bus
routes and improving depot maintenance practices are critical in order for NMMT to reduce
operation costs, improve system efficiency, and ensure high levels of customer satisfaction by
providing quality service.

description: An exact analytical model of the process of collision and nonlinear interaction of gravitational and/or electromagnetic soliton wave and strong non-soliton electromagnetic traveling wave of arbitrary profile propagating in the expanding universe (the symmetric Kasner spacetime) is presented. In contrast to intuitive expectations that rather strong traveling waves can destroy the soliton, it occurs that the soliton survives during its interaction with electromagnetic wave of arbitrary amplitude and profile, but its parameters begin to evolve under the influence of this interaction. If a traveling electromagnetic wave possesses a finite duration, the soliton parameters after interaction take constant values again, but these values in general are different from those before the interaction. Based on exact solutions of Einstein - Maxwell equations, our model demonstrates a series of nonlinear phenomena, such as (a) creation of gravitational waves in the collision of two electromagnetic waves, (b) creation of electromagnetic soliton wave in the collision of gravitational soliton with traveling electromagnetic wave, (c) scattering of a part of soliton wave in the direction of propagation of traveling electromagnetic wave, (d) quasiperiodic oscillating character of fields in the wave interaction region and multiple mutual transformations of gravitational and electromagnetic waves in this region. The figures illustrate these features of nonlinear wave interactions in General Relativity.

Moving Forward with Environmental Justice Analysis
Creators: name: Tartala, Margaret
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Regional transportation planning organizations known as metropolitan planning organizations are required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and other legislation to address environmental justice burdens and benefits to low income and minority populations. It is important to analyze and address inequities that manifest at the scale of the metropolitan region to fully understand and work toward improving equity outcomes for vulnerable populations. Current Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) plans tend to do a poor job contextualizing equity analysis, clearly identifying equity as a goal for policy and project prioritization, choosing appropriate equity measures to evaluate and monitor over time, and matching revealed disparities to appropriate policies that will counter existing or predicted future inequity. This project first examines common pitfalls that MPOs encounter in their equity analyses and then looks at the most recent research to suggest several strategies to improve these analyses, with a closer look at two case studies. Recent research has shown that appropriate analysis is best done with context sensitive measures, in an indexed form, using population-weighting, rather than threshold, methods for a more granular level of analysis. Finally, the report details how the two MPOs reviewed in the case studies can incorporate these recommendations in future analyses.

Company transitions: do small and family-held North Carolina businesses need succession assistance?
Creators: name: Venne, Bridget
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Although North Carolina is home to many multi-national companies such as Bank of America, Wachovia, and Lowe's Home Improvement, the state economy maintains a strong dependence on small business. Small businesses provide North Carolina three specific economic benefits: providing jobs for a large percentage of the labor force, providing potential career ladders to those employees, and fostering innovation. Despite this there is often significant controversy and misinformation about whether to allocate funding and assistance to attracting new, usually large, businesses or sustaining existing firms of all sizes. While larger businesses undoubtedly provide economic growth and benefits, focusing only on one segment of the business spectrum inhibits important economic diversification. Further investigation into the magnitude and impact of small business in North Carolina can help determine if greater policy assistance in these areas would be of benefit to the state's economy. It is clear that small business is important to the North Carolina economy, and that the employment potential and innovation intensity of small business jobs are worth developing. The question is: where can governmental assistance to support small businesses be the most efficient and effective? If increasing the lifespan of small businesses is the goal, one potential and often overlooked area for state or regionally based technical assistance is the area of business succession. Business succession occurs when an existing business undergoes a change in ownership. State and local governments can be of significant assistance in management transitions. Some of the types of assistance well-suited to government intervention are already in place in other forms of technical and managerial assistance, but some will require new initiatives. In order to determine if North Carolina small and family-owned businesses would benefit from succession planning assistance, it is vital to know how many companies are currently facing this issue. In order to determine whether it is in the best interest of North Carolina policymakers to attempt to provide this assistance, it is important to evaluate the potential impact of unsuccessful management transitions on the North Carolina economy. Yet existing information regarding the status of business succession plans, or even about the ownership status of small firms, is not readily available. Therefore, this Masters Project has developed and tested an online survey instrument to measure the economic risk posed by small business succession in North Carolina.

description: The quantization of two-dimensional Hořava theory of gravity without the projectability condition is considered. Our study of the Hamiltonian structure of the theory shows that there are two first-class and two second-class constraints. Then, following Dirac we quantize the theory by first requiring that the two second-class constraints be strongly equal to zero. This is carried out by replacing the Poisson bracket by the Dirac bracket. The two first-class constraints give rise to the Wheeler-DeWitt equations, which yield uniquely a plane-wave solution for the wavefunction. We also study the classical solutions of the theory and find that the characteristics of classical spacetimes are encoded solely in the phase of the plane-wave solution in terms of the extrinsic curvature of the foliations $t =$Constant, where $t$ denotes the globally-defined time of the theory.

description: We consider the problem of generating randomized control sequences for complex networked systems typically actuated by human agents. Our approach leverages a concept known as control improvisation, which is based on a combination of data-driven learning and controller synthesis from formal specifications. We learn from existing data a generative model (for instance, an explicit-duration hidden Markov model, or EDHMM) and then supervise this model in order to guarantee that the generated sequences satisfy some desirable specifications given in Probabilistic Computation Tree Logic (PCTL). We present an implementation of our approach and apply it to the problem of mimicking the use of lighting appliances in a residential unit, with potential applications to home security and resource management. We present experimental results showing that our approach produces realistic control sequences, similar to recorded data based on human actuation, while satisfying suitable formal requirements.

description: We introduce a parametric nonlinear transformation that is well-suited for Gaussianizing data from natural images. The data are linearly transformed, and each component is then normalized by a pooled activity measure, computed by exponentiating a weighted sum of rectified and exponentiated components and a constant. We optimize the parameters of the full transformation (linear transform, exponents, weights, constant) over a database of natural images, directly minimizing the negentropy of the responses. The optimized transformation substantially Gaussianizes the data, achieving a significantly smaller mutual information between transformed components than alternative methods including ICA and radial Gaussianization. The transformation is differentiable and can be efficiently inverted, and thus induces a density model on images. We show that samples of this model are visually similar to samples of natural image patches. We demonstrate the use of the model as a prior probability density that can be used to remove additive noise. Finally, we show that the transformation can be cascaded, with each layer optimized using the same Gaussianization objective, thus offering an unsupervised method of optimizing a deep network architecture.

Responding to Changes in Rated Risk: Incorporating Resilience in Dare County, North Carolina's Coastal Floodplain Management Policy and Planning
Creators: name: Moore, Abigail
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Floodplain management is fundamentally linked to floodplain mapping, both of which are necessary components to building resilience to flood risk. How do changes to Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) affect flood risk and resilience, and how do planners and floodplain managers respond to FIRM changes? Using Dare County, North Carolina as a test case, I assess changes proposed in the 2016 preliminary FIRMs, evaluate existing floodplain management policies, and analyze planners' and floodplain managers' strategies and priorities as they plan their transition to the final FIRMs. The goal of this research was to understand the potential for flood risk increases and the extent to which existing floodplain management regulations and strategies are targeted toward building resilience. I found that there is a high level of future flood risk to properties experiencing either no change or decreases in rated risk. Communities currently have minimal resilience built into their floodplain development regulations relative to the higher standards that could be applied. However, planners and floodplain managers are aware of key barriers to resilience and are strategizing ways to increase resilience and planning with future flood risk in mind. Recommendations for improving these strategies follow.

Publisher: name: Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.  (GI)
Year: 2019

description: Many developers today face the challenge of managing and maintaining existing legacy software systems. Improving the understanding of these systems is an important issue in addressing these challenges. To improve understanding, reverse engineering can be used to generate a higher-level representation. However, generic and extensible reverse engineering solutions that address multiple types of different technologies are missing or incomplete. This paper proposes to take a step in this direction. We describe the underlying idea of how used technologies such as frameworks and libraries induce parts of the architecture. Building on this, we describe our proposed approach of how the similarities of different technologies can be used to redevelop component-based architectures. By incorporating knowledge about technologies, we aim to improve the result of reverse engineering processes
Multi-rate time stepping schemes for hydro-geomechanical model for subsurface methane hydrate reservoirs

description: We present an extrapolation-based semi-implicit multirate time stepping (MRT) scheme and a compound-fast MRT scheme for a naturally partitioned, multi-time-scale hydro-geomechanical hydrate reservoir model. We evaluate the performance of the two MRT methods compared to an iteratively coupled solution scheme and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. The performance of the two MRT methods is evaluated in terms of speed-up and accuracy by comparison to an iteratively coupled solution scheme. We observe that the extrapolation-based semi-implicit method gives a higher speed-up but is strongly dependent on the relative time scales of the latent (slow) and active (fast) components. On the other hand, the compound-fast method is more robust and less sensitive to the relative time scales, but gives lower speed up as compared to the semi-implicit method, especially when the relative time scales of the active and latent components are comparable.

Scattering and pair creation by a constant electric field between two capacitor plates

description: Using the quantum field theory approach developed in Phys. Rev. D. 93, 045002 (2016), we consider particle scattering and vacuum instability in the so-called L-constant electric field, which is a constant electric field confined between two capacitor plates separated by a finite distance L. We obtain and analyze special sets of stationary solutions of the Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations with the L-constant electric field. Then, we represent probabilities of particle scattering and characteristics of the vacuum instability (related to pair creation) in terms of the introduced solutions. From exact formulas, we derive asymptotic expressions for the differential mean numbers, for the total mean number of created particles, and for the vacuum-to-vacuum transition probability. Using the equivalence principle, we demonstrate that the distributions of particles created by the L-constant electric field and the gravitational field of a black hole have a similar thermal structure.

Spin-fermion model with overlapping hot spots and charge modulation in cuprates
Creators: name: Volkov, Pavel A.

description: We study particle-hole instabilities in the framework of the spin-fermion (SF) model. In contrast to previous studies, we assume that adjacent hot spots can overlap due to a shallow dispersion of the electron spectrum in the antinodal region. In addition, we take into account effects of a remnant low energy and momentum Coulomb interaction. We demonstrate that at sufficiently small values $|\varepsilon (π,0)-E_{F}|\lesssim Γ$, where $E_{F}$ is the Fermi energy, $\varepsilon \left( π,0\right) $ is the energy in the middle of the Brillouin zone edge, and $Γ$ is a characteristic energy of the fermion-fermion interaction due to the antiferromagnetic fluctuations, the leading particle-hole instability is a d-form factor Fermi surface deformation (Pomeranchuk instability) rather than the charge modulation along the Brillouin zone diagonals predicted within the standard SF model previously. At lower temperatures, we find that the deformed Fermi surface is further unstable to formation of a d-form factor charge density wave (CDW) with a wave vector along the Cu-O-Cu bonds (axes of the Brillouin zone). We show that the remnant Coulomb interaction enhances the d-form factor symmetry of the CDW. These findings can explain the robustness of this order in the cuprates. The approximations made in the paper are justified by a small parameter that allows one an Eliashberg-like treatment. Comparison with experiments suggests that in many cuprate compounds the prerequisites for the proposed scenario are indeed fulfilled and the results obtained may explain important features of the charge modulations observed recently.

description: We introduce a general theoretical framework to study the shape dynamics of actively growing and remodeling surfaces. Using this framework we develop a physical model for growing bacterial cell walls and study the interplay of cell shape with the dynamics of growth and constriction. The model allows us to derive constraints on cell wall mechanical energy based on the observed dynamics of cell shape. We predict that exponential growth in cell size requires a constant amount of cell wall energy to be dissipated per unit volume. We use the model to understand and contrast growth in bacteria with different shapes such as spherical, ellipsoidal, cylindrical and toroidal morphologies. Coupling growth to cell wall constriction, we predict a discontinuous shape transformation, from partial constriction to cell division, as a function of the chemical potential driving cell-wall synthesis. Our model for cell wall energy and shape dynamics relates growth kinetics with cell geometry, and provides a unified framework to describe the interplay between shape, growth and division in bacterial cells.
