Environmental Indicator Utility in Environmental Decision Making: A Multiple Case Study Analysis
Creators: name: Baker, Angela A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: An environmental indicator is a scientific measurement that tracks environmental conditions overtime. Indicators can be a powerful tool in performance-based management/measurement systems. Performance indicators focus attention on outcomes of programs and can be used for strategic planning, priority setting, resource allocation, and other decision-making processes. Many agencies (governmental and non-governmental) are using program results to improve performance and ensure accountability. There are numerous frameworks around which indicators are structured for utilization and a range of performance measures spanning the spectrum of indicator measures. The various frameworks and performance measures clarify the type of environmental information generated by measurement systems and its value to inform decision-making. Outcome measures positioned at the higher end of the indicator hierarchy, those that address reduction of environmental risk or impacts to the ecology and human health, are the most desirable for informing decision-making. The goal of this investigation is to evaluate how environmental indicators are used inside performance based management/measurement systems and assess the logic linking environmental information to planning, resources allocation and performance review to describe environmental progress and inform environmental decision-making.

Predicting pregnancy diseases including preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, controlling and treating ectopic pregnancies, and more have all benefited from the usage of AI approaches. We also discovered that AI technologies were utilised to evaluate risk variables and monitor the safety of pregnant ladies. Thus, artificial intelligence - driven devices could enhance the care given to expectant mothers
Efficient many-body calculations of 2D materials using exact limits for the screened potential: Band gaps of MoS$_2$, hBN, and phosphorene

description: Calculating the quasiparticle (QP) band structure of two-dimensional (2D) materials within the GW self-energy approximation has proven to be a rather demanding computational task. The main reason is the strong $\mathbf{q}$-dependence of the 2D dielectric function around $\mathbf{q} = \mathbf{0}$ that calls for a much denser sampling of the Brillouin zone than is necessary for similar 3D solids. Here we use an analytical expression for the small $\mathbf{q}$-limit of the 2D response function to perform the BZ integral over the critical region around $\mathbf{q} = \mathbf{0}$. This drastically reduces the requirements on the $\mathbf{q}$-point mesh and implies a significant computational speed-up. For example, in the case of monolayer MoS$_2$, convergence of the $G_0W_0$ band gap to within $\sim 0.1\,\mathrm{eV}$ is achieved with $12\times 12$ $\mathbf{q}$-points rather than the $36\times 36$ mesh required with discrete BZ sampling techniques. We perform a critical assessment of the band gap of the three prototypical 2D semiconductors MoS$_2$, hBN, and phosphorene including the effect of self-consistency at the GW$_0$ and GW level. The method is implemented in the open source GPAW code.

description: In this paper, we study freeze-in production of fermionic dark matter with a pseudo scalar as the mediator between dark sector and Standard Model (SM). While the fermionic DM is non-thermal, we will explain two scenarios in which production of pseudo-scalar particles are either thermal or non thermal. We'll present elaborate discussion to derive yield quantity and relic density and illustrate these values for the different range of model parameters. We'll investigate constraints on parameters space coming from invisible Higgs decay at LHC. For the case of extremely small couplings and zero mixing between SM Higgs field with pseudo scalar field which pseudo scalar boson can play role of DM, we will justify recent observation of merging galaxies with a case of self-interacting DM. We'll show that influence of DM annihilation in this case, would provide a better fit to the AMS-02 data of positron flux.

A Field Study Evaluation of Short-Term Refined Gaussian Dispersion Models
Creators: name: Piper, Allison
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: A tracer study was conducted at the Duke Forest Site in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in January, 1995 to evaluate the ability of three short-term refined Gaussian dispersion models to predict the fate of volume source emissions under field study conditions. Study participants included the American Petroleum Institute (API), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the United States Department of Energy (DOE), the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), and private consulting firms. The models evaluated were Industrial Source Complex-Short Term versions 2 and 3 (ISC2, ISC3) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS)/Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulatory Model Improvement Committee (AERMIC) model, AERMOD. All three models are based on the steady-state Gaussian plume dispersion equation, which predicts concentrations at downwind receptor locations when integrated over the distance between the source and receptor. Chemicals were released at known rates and measurements were taken at various points in the study field using Tedlar® bag point sampling and open-path Fourier Transform Infrared (OP-FTIR) monitoring. The OP-FTIR comparisons were conducted by configuring the models to predict point concentrations along the FTIR spectrometer open-paths, then path-integrating the predictions over the sampled time intervals. The Tedlar® bagpoint sample comparisons were conducted by configuring the models to predict point concentrations at the Tedlar® point sample locations for each five-minute interval during the point sampling one-hour time period. The model predictions were then time-averaged for comparison with the Tedlar® one-hour point samples. The chemical used in this study analysis was sulfur hexafluoride (SFg). The study found that ISC and AERMOD underpredicted the measured concentrations for each dataset collected in the fieldstudy. ISC and AERMOD each underpredicted the OP-FTIR dataset by a factor of approximately 1.6. ISC underpredicted the Tedlar® dataset by approximately 2.1, while AERMOD underpredicted by a factor of approximately 2.6. Regardless of source configuration or measurement technique used, under-prediction with respect to the measured concentration was consistently observed. This indicates that safety factors or other corrections may be necessary in predicting contaminant concentrations over the distances examined in this study; i.e., in the near field of less than 200 meters.

Protection of Streamflow in the Eno River
Creators: name: Yamagata, Hisashi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: Lack of sufficient flow in the Eno River has caused several serious problems within its river basin, including water shortage during dry periods, deteriorated water quality, impaired scenic and aesthetic beauty of the stream, loss of recreational opportunities, and adverse effects on aquatic life forms. Because of rapid urban development within the river basin, increased water demand and adverse effects associated with urbanization are expected to make these problems more serious. In order to acquire and protect streamflows in the Eno River, five approaches are proposed: to increase the river's streamflow during dry seasons; to enhance water availability; to minimize adverse effects associated with urban development on the water resources; to legally acquire and protect streamflows in the river; and to obtain public support for streamflow protection. Integrating protection of the riverine environment into general community development is recommended in order to change public negative perceptions about protecting streamflow. Both planning and regulatory measures are necessary for effective protection of streamflows in the Eno River.

Year: 2022

description: Pathways for Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) is a 10-year evaluation of nine promising career pathways strategies that aim to increase employment and self-sufficiency among low-income, low-skilled adults and youth. The study, funded by the Administration for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the first rigorous evaluation of career pathways strategies nationwide. PACE utilizes an experimental study design to assess the impact of the nine programs on educational attainment, employment and earnings, and other outcomes. Eligible applicants at each of the nine programs are assigned at random to either a treatment group that can access program services or a control group that cannot, but that can access other services in the community. Random assignment ensures that the characteristics of the two groups have no systematic differences at baseline and thus makes it possible to estimate impacts without bias by comparing average outcomes for treatment and control group members over time. PACE includes an implementation study that will describe and document the design and operations of each of the nine PACE programs. The implementation study also provides contextual information for understanding and interpreting the impact estimates and findings on implementation experiences can guide future program designs and implementations. The impact study will measure differences between the treatment and control group members on educational outcomes (e.g., persistence in education, receipt of certificates and degrees) and employment- and earnings-related outcomes. The PACE team will analyze and report findings for each program separately. The rationale for separate studies is that, although all nine programs utilize basic building blocks in career pathways, they vary on a substantial number of fundamental design features, including eligibility criteria and target populations; services provided; goals for participants; and timeframes for expecting goals to be achieved. The PACE impact reports will cover 15 months of follow-up after the point of random assignment.

description: In this paper we address the use of rare event computation techniques to estimate small over-threshold probabilities of observables in determin-istic dynamical systems. We demonstrate that the genealogical particle analysis algorithms can be successfully applied to a toy model of atmospheric dynamics, the Lorenz '96 model. We furthermore use the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck system to illustrate a number of implementation issues. We also show how a time-dependent objective function based on the fluctuation path to a high threshold can greatly improve the performance of the estimator compared to a fixed-in-time objective function.

LUMI
HPC

description: The pre-exascale system LUMI is hosted by CSC IT Center for Science and is located at Kajaani, Finland. While LUMI is an acronym (Large Unified Modern Infrastructure) it is also the Finish word for snow.
 At the time of writing the LUMI system ranks as number 3 on the Top500 list.
 LUMI is well described in detail by the LUMI consortium. A short summary is presented below.
 The system was delivered by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and is an HPE Cray EX supercomputer. The committed Linpack (HPL) performance of the GPU partition of LUMI is 375 Petaflops/s coming from AMD InstinctTM MI250X GPUs.
 The system has various partitions of which LUMI-C (x86 partition) and LUMI-G (accelerator partition) are the most important. Other partitions, include storage and other services see.
 As LUMI is powered by GPUs many codes may need to be adapted to take advantage of the accelerators. As the GPUs are from AMD the software tools are somewhat different from NVIDIA based systems. These and related issues are discussed in the LUMI documentation.

description: In this paper we carry out cointegration analyses, in order to study whether the relationship between analysts’ recommendations and their projected capital gains (or losses), is consistent with the hypothesis that sell recommendations are costlier than buy recommendations. We find that recommenda-tions that plainly urge the investor to take action (buy, sell) are consistent with their estimated losses. We also find that recommendations react mildly to higher projected losses, and strongly to higher projected capital gains, which is consistent with systematic optimism. Additionally, we could establish that higher projected losses are positively related to dispersion in recommendations. In summary, we got evidence consistent with Womack’s (1996) hypothesis that the cost of issuing a sell recommendation is higher than the cost of a buy recommendation

description: In this work we address the problem of realizing a reliable quantum memory based on zero-energy Majorana modes in the presence of experimental constraints on the operations aimed at recovering the information. In particular, we characterize the best recovery operation acting only on the zero-energy Majorana modes and the memory fidelity that can be therewith achieved. In order to understand the effect of such restriction, we discuss two examples of noise models acting on the topological system and compare the amount of information that can be recovered by accessing either the whole system, or the zero-modes only, with particular attention to the scaling with the size of the system and the energy gap. We explicitly discuss the case of a thermal bosonic environment inducing a parity-preserving Markovian dynamics in which the introduced memory fidelity decays exponentially in time, independent from system size, thus showing the impossibility to retrieve the information by acting on the zero-modes only. We argue, however, that even in the presence of experimental limitations, the Hamiltonian gap is still beneficial to the storage of information.

Surfactant Enhanced Mobilization of Nonaqueous Phase Liquids in Porous Media
Creators: name: Hall, Joy L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: Aquifers with dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) are difficult to remediate, due to the limited solubility of many DNAPLs in water and the immobility of residual DNAPLs at typical flow conditions of aquifers. Surfactant can be used to dramatically reduce remediation times via increased solubilization through micellar partitioning, increased mobilization through reductions in interfacial tension, or a combination of both. Different mobilization regimes result during surfactant flushing, but have not been examined for DNAPLs. Particular regimes are more easily controlled and are therefore preferred during surfactant flushing. Systems were studied in which capillary, viscous, and buoyancy forces were important to determine the critical conditions that lead to the different mobilization regimes during surfactant flushing. In these experiments, a 1:1 mixture of two food-grade, anionic surfactants, sodium diamyl sulfosuccinate and sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, were selected for the surfactant flushing solution, and tetrachloroethylene, a representative groundwater pollutant, was selected as the DNAPL. Experiments were conducted in two well-characterized cells packed with glass beads. Explanations of the mobilization regimes are given using a dimensionless grouping of system parameters (defined as the bank number). Because the bank number relies on general physical and chemical properties, it should be applicable to flushing of any homogeneous porous media. The pore-scale observations of this work have important implications concerning numeric simulations. The flow mechanism(s) that occur during flushing are important for determining the appropriate relative permeability function(s) used in numeric simulations.

Deciding First-Order Satisfiability when Universal and Existential Variables are Separated

description: We introduce a new decidable fragment of first-order logic with equality, which strictly generalizes two already well-known ones -- the Bernays-Schönfinkel-Ramsey (BSR) Fragment and the Monadic Fragment. The defining principle is the syntactic separation of universally quantified variables from existentially quantified ones at the level of atoms. Thus, our classification neither rests on restrictions on quantifier prefixes (as in the BSR case) nor on restrictions on the arity of predicate symbols (as in the monadic case). We demonstrate that the new fragment exhibits the finite model property and derive a non-elementary upper bound on the computing time required for deciding satisfiability in the new fragment. For the subfragment of prenex sentences with the quantifier prefix $\exists^* \forall^* \exists^*$ the satisfiability problem is shown to be complete for NEXPTIME. Finally, we discuss how automated reasoning procedures can take advantage of our results.

Year: 1991

description: A series of permanent vegetation plots was established under the direction of Drs. Edward J. Kuenzler and Curtis Richardson. From 1985 to 1990, diameter at breast height measurements were made on all tagged trees. In 1990, cores were taken from randomly selected trees and the growth rings were examined to detect differences between the sewage-impacted and non-impacted years. The results of ANOVA models showed statistically significant growth differences among plots. Regression analysis revealed a pattern of increased tree growth immediately downstream of the sewage sprayfield. Black gum (Nyssa sylvatica var. biflora) showed the greatest increase in growth due to municipal sewage loading. Tupelo gum (Nyssa aguatica) and baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) showed considerably less growth changes due to municipal sewage loading. Brown Marsh Swamp downstream of the sewage sprayfield seems to function normally after the sewage has ceased flowing through this area.
Causal attribution and Wisdom
Creators: name: Hu, Chao
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: The development of things is affected by many factors. However, human cognitive resources are limited, and only a tiny part of the factors can be understood; sometimes, cognitive habits also make people ignore other possible influencing factors. The essence of wisdom is to understand the world as it is and to understand the causes and results of events as comprehensively and deeply as possible. Although "full wisdom"—that is, a complete and accurate understanding of the world is impossible to achieve, driven by the motive of pursuing truth, human beings can recognize the limitations of their information relative to the truth (i.e., meta-level humility), and then, they have the motivation to collect more information, so they can consider more factors and make different inferences based on different combinations of factors (i.e., meta-level flexibility). Perspective-taking is also due to meta-level humility and meta-level flexibility: understanding the limitations of one's information and thus the need to collect more information; understand the difference of each person's perspective and thus the need to consider the difference between the information of self and others, and understand the problem from the perspective of others. Therefore, we hypothesize that reminding people that "the development of things is affected by many factors" can improve people's wisdom for general problems (e.g., cause attribution and future prediction) and then transfer to the wisdom for interpersonal conflicts. In this single-factor, completely randomized design experiment, participants first thought carefully and answered the following two questions in detail, and each question took 10 minutes to answer. "Some studies have found that the prevalence of lung cancer is higher in places with good air. Why?" "Will the emergence of robots that look like humans affect the standard of mate selection for men and women, and then affect human evolution? Why?" Before reading both questions, the experimental group saw the instruction: "The development of things is dominated by many factors," while the control group saw the instruction: "The development of things is dominated by major factors." We underlined the difference between the keywords. Other than that, the procedures for both groups were identical. Afterward, they all answer questions about dealing with interpersonal conflict: "Imagine this: You tell one of your best friends, A, an important secret. However, a few days later, another of your best friends, B, tells you, A told B the secret. How do you think this will develop? How will you deal with it? Why?" We expect the experimental group to reflect higher meta-level humility and meta-level flexibility in the answers to all questions; in addition, the experimental group will have a higher level of perspective-taking on the last question. We collected data on 320 adult participants, and the data have not yet been fully analyzed.

description: We present a catalog of 11 multi-planet systems from Campaigns 1 and 2 of the K2 mission. We report the sizes and orbits of 26 planets split between seven 2-planet systems and four 3-planet systems. These planets stem from a systematic search of the K2 photometry for all dwarf stars observed by K2 in these fields. We precisely characterized the host stars with adaptive optics imaging and analysis of high-resolution optical spectra from Keck/HIRES and medium-resolution spectra from IRTF/SpeX. We confirm two planet candidates by mass detection and validate the remaining 24 candidates to $>99\%$ confidence. Thirteen planets were previously validated or confirmed by other studies and 24 were previously identified as planet candidates. The planets are mostly smaller than Neptune (21/26 planets) as in the Kepler mission and all have short periods ($P < 50$ d) due to the duration of the K2 photometry. The host stars are relatively bright (most have $Kp < 12.5$ mag) and are amenable to follow-up characterization. For K2-38, we measured precise radial velocities using Keck/HIRES and provide initial estimates of the planet masses. K2-38b is a short-period super-Earth with a radius of $1.55 \pm 0.16~R_\oplus$, a mass of $12.0 \pm 2.9~M_\oplus$, and a high density consistent with an iron-rich composition. The outer planet K2-38c is a lower density sub-Neptune-size planet with a radius of $2.42 \pm 0.29~R_\oplus$ and a mass of $9.9 \pm 4.6~M_\oplus$ that likely has a substantial envelope. This new planet sample demonstrates the capability of K2 to discover numerous planetary systems around bright stars.

Community Assessments at North Carolina Superfund Sites: A Qualitative Analysis of Knowledge and Concerns of Communities Located Near Hazardous Waste Sites and Recommendations for Implementing ATSDR's Community Engagement Guidance
Creators: name: Slaughter, Tracey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: This project utilized descriptive interviews with 36 key informants located near two National Priorities List (NPL) sites in North Carolina to assess the concerns and needs for information of communities near hazardous waste sites. A majority of residents living near the sites were not aware of the NPL designation but identified existing concerns about health from multiple environmental sources, including local industry. Respondents requested information about the severity and extent of contamination, possible impacts to human health, and the timeline for site cleanup. Respondents frequently described distrust of local government and the difficulties of balancing the need for employment in the community with concerns about impacts to health from industry. These findings contribute to fixture engagement at each site by providing specific recommendations for addressing concerns about health, routes of exposure, and long-term impacts of sites as well as the best methods of sharing information with communities to improve trust.

description: The spatial distribution of income shapes the structure and organisation of cities and its understanding has broad societal implications. Despite an abundant literature, many issues remain unclear. In particular, all definitions of segregation are implicitely tied to a single indicator, usually rely on an ambiguous definition of income classes, without any consensus on how to define neighbourhoods and to deal with the polycentric organization of large cities. In this paper, we address all these questions within a unique conceptual framework. We avoid the challenge of providing a direct definition of segregation and instead start from a definition of what segregation is not. This naturally leads to the measure of representation that is able to identify locations where categories are over- or underrepresented. From there, we provide a new measure of exposure that discriminates between situations where categories co-locate or repel one another. We then use this feature to provide an unambiguous, parameter-free method to find meaningful breaks in the income distribution, thus defining classes. Applied to the 2014 American Community Survey, we find 3 emerging classes -- low, middle and higher income -- out of the original 16 income categories. The higher-income households are proportionally more present in larger cities, while lower-income households are not, invalidating the idea of an increased social polarisation. Finally, using the density -- and not the distance to a center which is meaningless in polycentric cities -- we find that the richer class is overrepresented in high density zones, especially for larger cities. This suggests that density is a relevant factor for understanding the income structure of cities and might explain some of the differences observed between US and European cities.

Dose Reconstruction for an Occupational Cohort at the Savannah River Nuclear Facility: Evaluation of a hybrid method
Creators: name: Hamra, Ghassan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The Savannah River Site (SRS) is the sole nuclear facility in the US that has the expressed goal of producing tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that may be related to certain adverse health outcomes. Although a great deal is known about personal exposure to radiation at SRS via dosimetry records, a number of employees do not have recorded tritium dose measures, except as recorded in aggregate with external dose estimates. The purpose of this paper is to derive tritium dose estimates for SRS employees through development of a job-exposure matrix. Our method is unique in that along with qualitative information on job, area, and time of employment, our model utilizes quantitative estimates of annual whole body dose in order to estimate doses from tritium intakes. From our original cohort of 18,883 workers employed from 1951-1999, we calculated estimates for those individuals with missing tritium dose records who were employed from 1953-1978 with a positive whole body dose. Using information from 75,253 known tritium dose measures fitting our criteria above, we estimated tritium doses for 43,590 employment-years. The collective estimated tritium dose is 4,319 mSv compared to the collective known tritium dose of 17,382 mSv.
