The 4% LIHTC in North Carolina - Competitive Areas, Project Characteristics, and Opportunities for Future Implementation
Creators: name: Sleeman, Ethan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) administers the LIHTC program, awarding both 9% and 4% tax credits through an application process governed by the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). Although research on the more competitive (and more desirable) 9% LIHTC abounds in the Planning literature, there is a significant absence of information on the 4% projects. The 4% LIHTC with tax-exempt private activity bonds (PAB), sitting outside the competitive framework, may allow developers to site affordable housing in areas otherwise precluded by the QAP’s guidelines. This research indicates distinct differences in income targeting, total production, and the geographic distribution of 4% and 9% projects in terms of both neighborhood opportunity and poverty rates. NCHFA may wish to adjust tiebreakers and create a ‘community development’ set-aside in order to ensure high-poverty communities have access to deeply-subsidized, stable affordable housing; alternatively, the 4% and tax-exempt bond mechanism may be repositioned to prioritize rehabilitation and stabilization of existing affordable rental stock in high-poverty communities.

description: Severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly identified virus that has resulted in over 2.5 million deaths globally and over 116 million cases globally in March, 2021. Small-molecule inhibitors that reverse disease severity have proven difficult to discover. One of the key approaches that has been widely applied in an effort to speed up the translation of drugs is drug repurposing. A few drugs have shown in vitro activity against Ebola viruses and demonstrated activity against SARS-CoV-2 in vivo. Most notably, the RNA polymerase targeting remdesivir demonstrated activity in vitro and efficacy in the early stage of the disease in humans. Testing other small-molecule drugs that are active against Ebola viruses (EBOVs) would appear a reasonable strategy to evaluate their potential for SARS-CoV-2. We have previously repurposed pyronaridine, tilorone, and quinacrine (from malaria, influenza, and antiprotozoal uses, respectively) as inhibitors of Ebola and Marburg viruses in vitro in HeLa cells and mouse-adapted EBOV in mice in vivo. We have now tested these three drugs in various cell lines (VeroE6, Vero76, Caco-2, Calu-3, A549-ACE2, HUH-7, and monocytes) infected with SARS-CoV-2 as well as other viruses (including MHV and HCoV 229E). The compilation of these results indicated considerable variability in antiviral activity observed across cell lines. We found that tilorone and pyronaridine inhibited the virus replication in A549-ACE2 cells with IC50 values of 180 nM and IC50 198 nM, respectively. We used microscale thermophoresis to test the binding of these molecules to the spike protein, and tilorone and pyronaridine bind to the spike receptor binding domain protein with Kd values of 339 and 647 nM, respectively. Human Cmax for pyronaridine and quinacrine is greater than the IC50 observed in A549-ACE2 cells. We also provide novel insights into the mechanism of these compounds which is likely lysosomotropic.

description: The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor is a major severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) host range determinant, and understanding SARS-CoV-2-ACE2 interactions will provide important insights into COVID-19 pathogenesis and animal model development. SARS-CoV-2 cannot infect mice due to incompatibility between its receptor binding domain and the murine ACE2 receptor. Through molecular modeling and empirical in vitro validation, we identified 5 key amino acid differences between murine and human ACE2 that mediate SARS-CoV-2 infection, generating a chimeric humanized murine ACE2. Additionally, we examined the ability of the humanized murine ACE2 receptor to permit infection by an additional preemergent group 2B coronavirus, WIV-1, providing evidence for the potential pan-virus capabilities of this chimeric receptor. Finally, we predicted the ability of these determinants to inform host range identification of preemergent coronaviruses by evaluating hot spot contacts between SARS-CoV-2 and additional potential host receptors. Our results identify residue determinants that mediate coronavirus receptor usage and host range for application in SARS-CoV-2 and emerging coronavirus animal model development. IMPORTANCE SARS-CoV-2 (the causative agent of COVID-19) is a major public health threat and one of two related coronaviruses that have caused epidemics in modern history. A method of screening potential infectible hosts for preemergent and future emergent coronaviruses would aid in mounting rapid response and intervention strategies during future emergence events. Here, we evaluated determinants of SARS-CoV-2 receptor interactions, identifying key changes that enable or prevent infection. The analysis detailed in this study will aid in the development of model systems to screen emergent coronaviruses as well as treatments to counteract infections.

description: Tobacco is grown in 21 States on about 200,000 farms. Several types and kinds are grown, but flue-cured and burley account for more than 90 percent of total production. U.S. tobacco faces stiff competition. Because of high U.S. support prices, the strong dollar and other factors, exports have declined and imports have risen during the last decade. Despite marketing quota cutbacks, loan stocks have risen sharply. Consumption of tobacco products has stabilized because of higher prices and health concerns. Three laws were enacted in 1982 and 1983 affecting the tobacco program. Growers, rather than taxpayers, now bear most of the costs of operating the program. Other changes included price support and quota ownership modifications. Despite the changes, major issues, such as U.S. ability to compete in the world tobacco market, remain.

description: For a vertex operator algebra $V$ with conformal vector $ω$, we consider a class of vertex operator subalgebras and their conformal vectors. They are called semi-conformal vertex operator subalgebras and semi-conformal vectors of $(V,ω)$, respectively, and were used to study duality theory of vertex operator algebras via coset constructions. Using these objects attached to $(V,ω)$, we shall understand the structure of the vertex operator algebra $(V,ω)$. At first, we define the set $\on{Sc}(V,ω)$ of semi-conformal vectors of $V$, then we prove that $\on{Sc}(V,ω)$ is an affine algebraic variety with a partial ordering and an involution map. Corresponding to each semi-conformal vector, there is a unique maximal semi-conformal vertex operator subalgebra containing it. The properties of these subalgebras are invariants of vertex operator algebras. As an example, we describe the corresponding varieties of semi-conformal vectors for Heisenberg vertex operator algebras. As an application, we give two characterizations of Heisenberg vertex operator algebras using the properties of these varieties.

description: The nucleon's peripheral transverse charge and magnetization densities are computed in chiral effective field theory. The densities are represented in first-quantized form, as overlap integrals of chiral light-front wave functions describing the transition of the nucleon to soft pion-nucleon intermediate states. The orbital motion of the pion causes a large left-right asymmetry in a transversely polarized nucleon. The effect attests to the relativistic nature of chiral dynamics [pion momenta k = O(M_pi)] and could be observed in form factor measurements at low momentum transfer.

description: Exposure to wildfire smoke causes adverse health outcomes, suggesting the importance of accurately estimating smoke concentrations. Geostatistical methods can combine observed, modeled, and satellite-derived concentrations to produce accurate estimates. Here we estimate ground-level PM2.5 during the October 2017 California wildfires, using the Constant Air Quality Model Performance (CAMP) and Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) methods to bias-correct and fuse three concentration datasets: permanent and temporary monitoring stations, a chemical transport model (CTM), and satellite observations. Four BME space/time kriging and data fusion methods were evaluated. All BME methods produce more accurate estimates than the standalone CTM and satellite products. Adding temporary station data increases the R2 by 35%. The data fusion of observations with the CAMP-corrected CTM provides the best overall estimate (R2=0.73), especially in station-scarce regions. Including satellite data does not improve performance. We estimate that approximately 60,000 people were exposed to very unhealthy air (daily average PM2.5 ≥150.5 µg/m3).

description: Because it is sensitive to fluctuations occurring over femtoseconds to picoseconds, gigahertz-to-terahertz dielectric relaxation spectroscopy can provide a valuable window into water's most rapid intermolecular motions. In response, we have built a vector network analyzer dielectric spectrometer capable of measuring absorbance and index of refraction in this frequency regime with unprecedented precision. Using this to determine the complex dielectric response of water and aqueous salt solutions from 5.9 GHz to 1.12 THz (which we provide in the SI), we have obtained strong new constraints on theories of water's collective dynamics. For example, while the salt-dependencies we observe for water's two slower relaxations (8 and 1 ps) are easily reconciled with suggestions that they arise due to rotations of fully and partially hydrogen bonded molecules, respectively, the salt-dependence of the fastest relaxation (180 fs) appears difficult to reconcile with its prior assignment to liberations of single hydrogen bonds.

description: The peanut program has historically led to surplus production and increasing Government costs. Farm legislation in 1977 initiated a two-price poundage quota peanut program, which was continued under the 1981 farm act. The 1981 Act suspended the peanut acreage allotments. The poundage quota was decreased each year to eliminate the excess of peanuts supported at the higher of the two support prices. The peanut program will revert to permanent legislation of acreage allotments and parity supports unless a new program is enacted. Issues for 1985 farm legislation include whether to continue the current program or to include peanuts under a more general agricultural program.

Evolution of Parisian Women Through Art

description: Surrounded by the Tuileries gardens, the Champs Élysées, and the Seine River, the Place de la Concorde has maintained its status as one of Paris’s major public squares since its construction in the late eighteenth century. It is marked by a tumultuous history, first serving as a monument to the then ruling Louis XV and subsequently transforming into a site of mass guillotine executions during the French Revolution. As a public space, the Place de la Concorde has witnessed dynamic shifts in Parisian society throughout the past two centuries and has been the subject of numerous artists. French painter Jean Béraud, renowned for depicting the life of Paris during the Belle Époque, portrays a woman in the square at the end of the nineteenth century in his 1885 work titled Parisian on the Place de la Concorde (Figure 1). Seven decades later, Russian-French artist and early modernist Marc Chagall portrayed a man, woman, and child overlooking the square in his vibrant color lithograph Place de la Concorde (Figure 2). Béraud’s painting, oscillating between impressionist and Salon-style techniques, offers a glimpse of the emerging dominance Parisian women began to enjoy in public spaces during the Belle Époque. Chagall’s lithograph, distinct in its vivid coloring and expressive sketching, presents individuals living in a post-war Paris, categorized by reconstruction and an influx of migrants. Thus, Béraud’s and Chagall’s diverse depictions of the Place de la Concorde and its frequenters implicate the viewer in Paris’s evolution as a city that underwent “an unparalleled period of contentment and pleasures” during the 1880s, followed by a post-war period of modernization seventy years later.
How Conceptions of Exceptionalism and Tokenism Present Themselves in the Refugee Crisis and Welcome to Germany (2016)
Creators: name: Lofton, Cameron
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Since around 2015, Germany and other European countries have experienced a large increase in the number of refugees entering their countries. As a result, there has been much pushback from native Germans against this new foreign presence; recent terrorist attacks carried out by radical Islamists throughout Europe have only made Europeans more skeptical of allowing refugees in their countries. Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel has been especially criticized for her open-door policy. Last year, she and Interior Minister Horst Seehofer have clashed heavily on the issue of migration and refugees, threatening the already fragile government coalition. However, more recently, Germany has decreased the number of refugees accepted while increasing deportations to other EU countries. While the number of refugees is showing no signs of decreasing to pre-2015 numbers in the near future, Germany and other European countries are coming to terms with the fact that they must not only offer refuge but also successfully accommodate these refugees. Current discussions of the refugee crisis frame it as a new phenomenon, but these discussions ignore other influxes of refugees in Germany’s past. It would be beneficial for German politicians to also reference what they have done in the past when they are looking at how they should approach this “crisis”. The issue of integration and assimilation has been a salient topic in recent discussions surrounding refugees. On one hand, many Germans expect the newly arrived refugees to fully assimilate to their customs, but many refugees are not willing to completely forfeit their own culture for Germany’s. In contrast to earlier times of refugee migration, these refugees are coming from places whose cultures are viewed as antithetical to German and European culture. In this essay, I will investigate how German society approaches the question of assimilation/integration through an analysis of the mainstream media representation of refugees in Welcome to Germany. I will show how the unidimensional and shallow character of the refugee in this film is indicative of a German society that is unwilling to accept refugees as fully human with complexities and faults. Welcome to Germany is a popular German film centering around a family’s decision to adopt a Nigerian refugee named Diallo that promotes a narrative that is counteractive to progressive work surrounding the political and social treatment of refugees in the country. I will analyze how Diallo’s role in the movie and his relation to the Hartmanns, the family that takes him in, contribute to a more close-minded view of refugees. I will also put this into the context of the film’s relative success in Germany and how the movie was received by the public.

description: Regional authority is not always uniformly applied to all territories. How federal governments treat special regions differentiates from how they treat other sub-entities within their jurisdiction. One of the most interesting examples of a special region is Crimea because its story is not connected to just one country, but rather two: Russia and Ukraine. This paper will feature a two-pronged analysis of Crimea and its relationships with the aforementioned countries: first, it will examine late-USSR and post-Soviet history as an explanation for Crimean dependence on its surrounding nations, and secondly, it will analyze governmental institutions in Russia and Ukraine to determine how Crimea fits into each system. This paper will use these findings to elucidate plausible reasons for Crimea’s bid for autonomy, and, subsequently, Russia’s successful annexation of the region.
Avenue De L’Observatoire: Organization in a Foggy Paris
Creators: name: Wilder, Laura

description: Late one Winter night, a Parisian drives along the Avenue de L’Observatoire. They are forced to continue down the avenue slowly because even their headlights are not powerful enough to reveal a clear path through the fog. Neither the street lamps or the trees can pierce this fog as it adds a film to every rough edge it touches, dulling each and every end point of objects within its reach. In Brassaï’s 1934 gelatin silver print entitled Avenue De L’Observatoire, Brassaï captures this moment in time. By utilizing the infamous Parisian fog, Brassaï created a work of art that both plays with the viewer’s eye and emphasizes the idealization of lines, segmentation, and organization put in place by Georges-Eugène Haussmann during an era of destruction and modernization. Brassaï reveals the relationship between the green space’s sturdy Haussmannian elements and the fog, all the while encouraging the viewer to question traditional assumptions about Paris.
Post-Pandemic Utilization of Office to Residential Adaptive Reuse Strategies in Cities

description: American cities are facing an epidemic. Affordable housing is nearly impossible to find in desirable cities. This shortage has cost-burdened almost half of American families who spend 30% or more of their gross income on housing. The COVID-19 pandemic has also exacerbated previously grim outlooks for the office market. Cities nationwide are experiencing historic highs in office vacancy rates and catastrophic deficits in net absorption. Adaptive reuse is an innovative, sustainable, and viable solution to this two-pronged problem. It is the process of taking an older or underutilized structure and repurposing that structure for a new or different use. In this present situation, city officials have the ability to work with owners of underutilized office buildings to assist in repurposing these structures into residential units through a number of tools such as tax credits, grants, expedited permitting, trusts, affordable housing incentives, and much more. Adaptive reuse is a multi-dimensional solution to an emerging problem which encapsulates the real-estate market, city dynamics, zoning, housing stock and prices, homelessness, and long-term sustainability of cities. This paper serves as a guide to planners, students, and citizens to elaborately define the problems at hand, explore a successful case study, provide a repeatable and thorough analysis, present feasible tools and policies to enact change, and discuss the challenges of doing so. With this research, planners in large urban areas can assess the need and usefulness of adaptive reuse to help curb the constantly changing problems cities face and the effects of COVID-19 in their communities.
Adaptive Reuse Models: Dorothea Dix Park Phase II Buildings
Creators: name: Anna Gustines
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This project explores mechanisms for the adaptive reuse of Dorothea Dix Park buildings that balance revenue generation with other park goals, such as the provision of public benefits, the long-term maintenance of historic structures, and park activation, and compares the financial impact of private, quasi-public, and public use options in an example building. Part I of the report is a literature review of existing Dix Park planning documents, adaptive reuse projects, public use of private space (POPS), and ground leases. Part II examines how real estate assets are utilized in five peer parks – Balboa Park and Mission Bay Park in San Diego, Exposition Park in Los Angeles, The Presidio in San Francisco, and Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York – and identifies applicable leasing mechanisms for Dix Park. Finally, Part III delivers a high-level market study of private and quasi-public uses in the local area, and financial models for three program alternatives. This project ultimately finds that multiple leasing structures and use types are viable at the park, and Dix Park should consider combining strategies in order to recruit a diverse mix of park tenants and balance revenue generation with other park goals.

description: The effects of elasticity on the break-up of liquid threads in microfluidic cross-junctions is investigated using numerical simulations based on the "lattice Boltzmann models" (LBM). Working at small Capillary numbers, we investigate the effects of non-Newtonian phases in the transition from droplet formation at the cross-junction (DCJ) and droplet formation downstream of the cross-junction (DC) (Liu & Zhang, ${\it Phys. Fluids.}$ ${\bf 23}$, 082101 (2011)). Viscoelasticity is found to influence the break-up point of the threads, which moves closer to the cross-junction and stabilizes. This is attributed to an increase of the polymer feedback stress forming in the corner flows, where the side channels of the device meet the main channel.

Willingness-To-Try Various Tobacco Cessation Methods Among US Adult Cigarette Smokers
Creators: name: ENYIOHA, CHINEME
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Introduction: Long-term smoking cessation success rates without substantive intervention remain abysmal. Some studies suggest an association between sociodemographic factors andtobacco cessation success. We sought to explore US adult tobacco users’ willingness-to-try diverse tobacco cessation methods by sociodemographics and tobacco use habits.Methods: We electronically surveyed a convenience sample of 562 US adults to explore willingness-to-try various cessation methods among those who reported current tobacco cigarette use. Participants rated their willingness-to-try different cessation methods. Logistic regression models examined associations between willingness-to-try tobacco cessation methods based onsociodemographic and tobacco use characteristics.Results: Non-whites were more likely to report willingness-to-try counseling (RR 1.32, 95% CI 1.14, 1.52) and those with high school education or less were less likely to report willingness-to-try counseling (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.64, 0.95). Those with lower income were less likely to report willingness-to-try any medication (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.73, 0.98). High nicotine dependence wasassociated with a high likelihood of reporting willingness-to-try any evidence-based method (RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.04, 1.10) and a history of quit attempts was associated with likelihood to reportwillingness-to-try any evidence-based method (RR 1.31, 95% CI 1.10, 1.56).Conclusion: Sociodemographics and nicotine dependence may affect preferences for tobacco cessation methods and should be considered when counseling patients on tobacco cessation
Faceted music: towards a model of music classification

description: The organization of music is a subject that has fascinated classification researchers and librarians alike for over a hundred years. This paper identifies five key methodological approaches undertaken by commentators on music knowledge organization, which
 demonstrate different interdependent relationships between musicology and classification.
 Five significant themes form the main body of this paper, and these themes underpin the corpus of music classification literature. The first theme concerns the question of whether classification should divide music materials into their constituent formats. This division
 sets conceptual against practical. The second theme looks at facets in music classification.
 ‘Medium’ and ‘form’ are considered to be the most important facets for music scores; ‘composers’ are an important facet for music literature. The third theme considers the poor treatment of ‘other’ musics in knowledge organization, and notes some possible
 explanations. The fourth theme investigates the relationship between the classification and retrieval of music materials. This section highlights the differing needs of users and suggests how the classification of music materials is adapted accordingly. The fifth theme
 discusses pre-existing music classification schemes, with the large number of home-grown
 and special schemes highlighted.
 The paper concludes that the five identified themes point towards a model of music classification. However, the model is not just concerned with facets, musics and formats; it is also based upon the relationships between various sets of protagonists, such as the
 librarian and the musicologist, the musicologist and the performer. Through studying these protagonists, the traditional boundaries of musicology, music librarianship and knowledge organization will be crossed.

description: Interactions with our community and social environment play a significant role in our overall health and wellbeing and are considered Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). One SDOH that impacts Cumberland County, North Carolina is the number of children aged 0-3 years old who have been abused or maltreated. This leads to multiple health issues including cardiovascular disease, strokes, and mental health issues and can perpetuate the cycle of violent crime. Due to this issue, we have formed the Cumberland County Child Resiliency Organization (CCCRO), an Accountable Care Community (ACC) whose goal is to addressing health outcomes by improving parenting strategies for caregivers to reduce the incidence of child abuse by 10% by 2024. The CCCRO will be working with a group of community stakeholders and partners to advocate for a federal ban on corporal punishment and to implement the Building Resilient Families program for parents and caregivers in Cumberland County.
