Use of a Chloraminated Drinking Water System to Develop Accurate Predictive Patterns of Exposure to Disinfection-By-Products by Consumers
Creators: name: Pereira, Vanessa Ranhada Pinto Jorge
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: In an attempt to provide more accurate exposure levels to disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water by consumers, the levels of trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), and total organic halogen (TOX) were measured and correlated between the point of entry (POE) from an ozone-chloramination plant and those measured throughout the distribution system (DS). Samples collected every four hours during five consecutive days showed that temporal variability in the DBP levels at the POE can be expected. However, this variability appeared to be dampened in the distribution system with the average levels of DBPs measured over an extended period very similar at all sample points. A single grab sample collected from a representative DS point would therefore be a good indication of DBP exposure to consumers of that drinking water. This study will demonstrate how a monitoring program was evolved that provides for a reasonable exposure level of DBPs to consumers of drinking water using a minimum number of sampling points and events in a chloraminated distribution system.

Analysis of assumptions of recent tests of local realism
Creators: name: Bednorz, Adam
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Local realism in recent experiments is excluded on condition of freedom or randomness of choice combined with no signaling between observers by implementations of simple quantum models. Both no-signaling and the underlying quantum model can be directly checked by analysis of experimental data. For particular tests performed on the data, it is shown that two of these experiments give the probability of the data under no-signaling (or choice independence in one of them) hypothesis at the level of 5%, accounting for the look-elsewhere-effect, moderately suggesting that no-signaling is violated with 95% confidence. On the other hand the data from the two other experiments violate the assumption of the simple quantum model. Further experiments are necessary to clarify these issues and freedom and randomness of choice.

description: The cumulative emission resulting from hadronic cosmic-ray interactions in star-forming galaxies (SFGs) has been proposed as the dominant contribution to the astrophysical neutrino flux at TeV to PeV energies reported by IceCube. The same particle interactions also inevitably create $γ$-ray emission that could be detectable as a component of the extragalactic $γ$-ray background (EGB), which is now measured with the Fermi-LAT in the energy range from 0.1 to 820 GeV. New studies of the blazar flux distribution at $γ$-ray energies above 50 GeV place an upper bound on the residual non-blazar component of the EGB. We show that these results are in strong tension with models that consider SFGs as the dominant source of the diffuse neutrino backgrounds. A characteristic spectral index for parent cosmic rays in starburst galaxies of $Γ_{\rm SB} \simeq 2.3$ for $dN/dE \propto E^{-Γ_{\rm SB}}$ is consistent with the observed scaling relation between $γ$-ray and IR luminosity for SFGs, the bounds from the non-blazar EGB, and the observed $γ$-ray spectra of individual starbursts, but underpredicts the IceCube data by approximately an order of magnitude.

description: Preliminary evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has created new opportunities for assessment as teachers reconsidered instructional goals in technology-intensive and hybridized learning conditions. However, our understanding of how formative assessment (FA) was affected by the pandemic is very limited. This study aims to explore middle-high school mathematics teachers’ use of FA practices before and during the COVID-19 period and, going forward, to identify what we can learn from teachers who successfully applied FA practices in their classrooms. Using a mixed-methods approach we will study FA shifts in Israel. First, we will survey teachers regarding shifts in FA instruments and processes most frequently used in classroom practice. Second, we will interview teachers to understand these shifts and investigate FA strategies teachers considered most effective. Third, we will summarize the FA strategies that show the most promise for wider use. Findings will indicate promising, productive, and equitable FA strategies and will be of significant practical value for mathematics education by identifying potentially effective strategies together with factors that aid implementation.

description: The entangled states that include every physical properties of particles would be important for both theoretical and applied physics. However, the existence and properties of such entangled states are unclear at present. Here we theoretically show that a particle-antiparticle pair can form the so-called packaged entangled states which encapsulate all the necessary physical quantities for completely identifying the particles. The particles in the packaged entangled states are indeterminate and exhibit unusual properties. Thereafter, we discussed the possible applications of these new entangled states, i.e., the protocol for teleporting the entire quantum state of a particle (or an antiparticle) to an arbitrarily large distance without a classical channel, transfer of the new entangled states from a particle pair to another particle pair, and new interpretation to the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the observable universe.

Comparison of Three Dimensional Velocity Models for Flanged Rectangular Hoods
Creators: name: Fitzgerald, Marie Louise
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: The purpose of a local exhaust hood is to capture an airborne contaminant as close to the point of generation as possible and prevent it from entering the worker's breathing zone. Presently, local exhaust hood designs are based on capture velocity and practical experience. This process involves several defiencies, the most significant being the inability to determine the contaminant concentration in the worker's breathing zone as well as the inability to incorporate crossdrafts and source momentum characteristics. Three-dimensional velocity field models which predict the magnitude and direction of the velocity vector at any point in the field of flanged, rectangular exhaust hoods have been developed recently. This is a first step in determining the contaminant concentration in the worker's breathing zone and can, by vector addition, predict how crossdrafts and source momentum will effect contaminant capture. The purpose is to determine which of the available velocity field equations is the most accurate predictor of the velocity vector. This should help to determine optimal hood size, position and flow, resulting in more efficient and economical exhaust designs for industry. The theoretical basis for models in potential theory is presented and the limitations for industrial settings are discussed. The accuracy of the models was evaluated by measuring two-dimensional velocity vectors in the x-z and y-z planes of local exhaust hoods having aspect ratios of 1, 2, and 5. Measurements were made from 5% to 80% of the maximum hoodface velocity with an anemometer modified to permit rotation about its axis. The X, Y, and Z velocity components of each point were statistically compared to calcualted data. The ability to implement the models in computer programs is also discussed. Much work remains. The analysis can be expanded over a larger range of hood aspect ratios, and known crossdraft and source momentum vectors can be included.

description: A generalised analytical notion of summation-by-parts (SBP) methods is proposed, extending the concept of SBP operators in the correction procedure via reconstruction (CPR), a framework of high-order methods for conservation laws. For the first time, SBP operators with dense norms and not including boundary points are used to get an entropy stable split-form of Burgers' equation. Moreover, overcoming limitations of the finite difference framework, stability for curvilinear grids and dense norms is obtained for SBP CPR methods by using a suitable way to compute the Jacobian.

Evaluation of a Sample Concentration Procedure in the Analysis of Dermal Exposure to 1,6-Hexamethylene Diisocyanate and its Oligomers
Creators: name: Hodgens, Charles
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Dermal exposure to 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and its oligomers HDI biuret and HDI isocyanurate has been implicated in occupation asthma in automotive spray-painters. Dermal exposure assessment for these compounds has been hampered due to low sample concentrations for these compounds. A sample concentration process, where samples are dried under a stream of nitrogen gas and resuspended in a smaller volume of liquid, was developed and tested in order to improve sensitivity and specificity for sample quantification and exposure assessment. The method was evaluated by comparing tape-strips samples spiked with derivatized standard or clearcoat solutions before and after concentration. In addition, the method was evaluated using 412 dermal tape-strip samples collected from automotive refinishing workers occupationally exposed to diisocyanates. Concentrations of the urea derivatives of HDI, biuret, and isocyanurate were determined using LC-MS analysis via selective ion monitoring. The results showed that both the dry-down process and skin exposure produced significant variation in the spiked sample concentrations. In the worker samples, the dry-down process increased the number of samples with detectable levels of isocyanurate from 125 to 302 while the number of samples for biuret increased from 8 to 70. Interference from unknown compounds impaired analysis of HDI after drying. In summary, the dry-down procedure has a potential to increase the sensitivity and specificity of isocyanurate in the tape-strip samples collected from the exposed workers. However, the potential biases introduced in the sample processing and the increased analytical cost indicate that this method is not suitable in its current state for adaptation to the processing of samples collected from exposed workers.

description: Does exposure to accurate information about local police shootings of civilians affect public support for proposed police reforms? Prior studies examine whether narrative and visual information about police behavior affects individuals' perceptions of the police and policing. Our study uses municipal data on police shootings of civilians to investigate whether, if at all, receiving accurate information about police shooting in their city influences public support for police reform. Through YouGov, we conduct a survey experiment in 2021 in ten large U.S. cities. We randomly assign respondents to treatments of descriptive statistics on police shootings in their cities: (a) total number of civilians police shot in 2020, (b) total number of shootings with a disaggregation by armed and unarmed civilians shot, or (c) total number of shootings with a breakdown of fatal and non-fatal shootings. A control group receives no information about police shootings for their cities. All respondents' make guesses about the number of police shootings in their cities before random assignment. We identify treatment effects on support for five proposed policing reforms: (1) limiting armed police officer involvement in low-level traffic stops, (2) using unarmed “first responders” instead of police to address mental health emergencies, (3) reducing the use of no-knock warrants, (4) reducing qualified immunity protections, and (5) empowering civilian oversight boards to review police misconduct. The findings may inform policymakers about how public knowledge of police shootings may influence public support for police reforms.

description: We study basic properties of flow equivalence on one-dimensional compact metric spaces with a particular emphasis on isotopy in the group of (self-) flow equivalences on such a space. In particular, we show that an orbit-preserving such map is not always an isotopy, but that this always is the case for suspension flows of irreducible shifts of finite type. We also provide a version of the fundamental discretization result of Parry and Sullivan which does not require that the flow maps are either injective or surjective. Our work is motivated by applications in the classification theory of sofic shift spaces, but has been formulated to supply a solid and accessible foundation for other purposes.

description: Model-driven software development can help tackle complexity when developing large software systems. Model-driven development tools facilitate this. Such tools support multiple features and languages; some are multi-platform and support multi-language code generation from models. Umple is a full-featured open source language and modelling tool that we used as a basis for this thesis. Distribution concerns have become a critical part of modern software systems. In this thesis, we present how we extended Umple to support the development of model-driven synchronous or asynchronous distributed systems. Our contributions provide simple syntax, model analysis capabilities, and programming APIs, which allow users to change the configuration of systems both at development and deployment stages. We also demonstrate how a system can be modeled without distribution concerns and easily be transformed to a distributed system through our approach. The contributions of this thesis are: a) Creating a mechanism to distribute objects in Umple; b) Developing new semantics for modelling of distributed objects and providing supporting syntax for this in Umple; c) Investigating different patterns and technologies to implement code generation for distributed systems; d) Implementation, testing, and comparison of the distributed feature in Umple for executable Java code; and e) implementing a mechanism to dynamically modify the distribution plan at runtime.

description: We show how to verify the metrological usefulness of quantum states based on the expectation values of an arbitrarily chosen set of observables. In particular, we estimate the quantum Fisher information as a figure of merit of metrological usefulness. Our approach gives a tight lower bound on the quantum Fisher information for the given incomplete information. We apply our method to the results of various multiparticle quantum states prepared in experiments with photons and trapped ions, as well as to spin-squeezed states and Dicke states realized in cold gases. Our approach can be used for detecting and quantifying metrologically useful entanglement in very large systems, based on a few operator expectation values. We also gain new insights into the difference between metrological useful multipartite entanglement and entanglement in general.

The neighborhood was located near a large beryllium reserve and a few miles away from a quarry in which one of the sarcoidosis patients was employed. Background information included the facts that gravel from the local mine(s) had been used on some of the neighborhood roads prior to the time roads were paved, and that there was also agricultural activity in the area. Considering that these sarcoidosis cases were in a residential neighborhood, the proximity of quarries to the neighborhood, the large beryllium reserve in the area, and the fact that one of the sarcoidosis patients was employed at the quarry led to the question of whether chronic beryllium disease (berylliosis) due to an environmental exposure should be considered as a diagnosis for these individuals instead of sarcoidosis.

description: We present a calculation of the strange and charm quark contributions to the nucleon spin from the anomalous Ward identity (AWI). It is performed with overlap valence quarks on 2+1-flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations on a $24^3 \times 64$ lattice with the light sea mass at $m_π = 330$ MeV. To satisfy the AWI, the overlap fermion for the pseudoscalar density and the overlap Dirac operator for the topological density, which do not have multiplicative renormalization, are used to normalize the form factor of the local axial-vector current at finite $q^2$. For the charm quark, we find that the negative pseudoscalar term almost cancels the positive topological term. For the strange quark, the pseudoscalar term is less negative than that of the charm. By imposing the AWI, the strange $g_A(q^2)$ at $q^2 =0$ is obtained by a global fit of the pseudoscalar and the topological form factors, together with $g_A(q^2)$ and the induced pseudoscalar form factor $h_A(q^2)$ at finite $q^2$. The chiral extrapolation to the physical pion mass gives $Δs + Δ{\bar{s}} = -0.0403(44)(78)$.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) in Communicating Environmental Information
Creators: name: Jackson, Renee
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: This study evaluated two television environmental public service announcements and aimed to answer three research questions: 1) whether or not PSAs could enhance knowledge on the topics addressed; 2) whether or not the PSAs were perceived as effective; and 3) whether or not the PSAs could affect behavior change. The total study population included 175 University of North Carolina students. Participants completed a pre-test and post-test in conjunction with viewing the PSAs and completed a one-day follow-up survey measuring free recall of the PSAs. Results suggest that each of the PSAs effectively communicated environmental information to viewers. In addition, PSAs were rated by participants as moderately effective. However, results of behavioral intention measures were mixed but showed some intention to change behavior. Finally, results of the follow-up survey indicate a high level of free recall.

The origin and evolution of r- and s-process elements in the Milky Way stellar disk

description: Knowledge of abundance ratios as functions of metallicity can lead to insights on the origin and evolution of our Galaxy and its stellar populations. We aim to trace the chemical evolution of the neutron-capture elements Sr, Zr, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, and Eu in the Milky Way stellar disk to constrain the formation sites of these elements as well as to probe the evolution of the Galactic thin and thick disks. Using spectra of high resolution and high signal-to-noise we determine Sr, Zr, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, and Eu abundances for a sample of 593 F and G dwarf stars in the Solar neighbourhood. We present abundance results for Sr, Zr, La, Ce, Nd, Sm and Eu. We find that Nd, Sm, and Eu show trends similar to what is observed for the alpha-elements when compared to [Fe/H]. [Sr/Fe] and [Zr/Fe] show decreasing abundance ratios for increasing metallicity, reaching sub-solar values at super-solar metallicities. [La/Fe] and [Ce/Fe] do not show any clear trend with metallicity. The rapid neutron-capture process is active early in the Galaxy, mainly in type II supernovae from stars in the mass range 8-10 M_sun. Eu is almost completely produced by r-process but Nd and Sm show similar trends to Eu even if their s-process component is higher. Sr and Zr show significant enrichment at low metallicity that requires extra r-process production, that probably is different from the classical r-process. Finally, La and Ce are mainly produced via s-process from AGB stars in mass range 2-4 M_sun. The trend of [X/Fe] with age found could be explained by considering that the decrease in [X/Fe] for the thick disk stars can be due to the decrease of type II supernovae with time meaning a reduced enrichment of r-process elements in the interstellar medium. In the thin disk the trends are flatter that probably is due to that the main production from s-process is balanced by Fe production from type Ia supernovae.

description: The ArgoNeuT collaboration reports the first measurement of neutral current $π^{0}$ production in $ν_μ$-argon and $\barν_μ$-argon scattering. This measurement was performed using the ArgoNeuT liquid argon time projection chamber deployed at Fermilab's NuMI neutrino beam with an exposure corresponding to 1.2$\times 10^{20}$ protons-on-target from the Fermilab Main Injector and a mean energy for $ν_μ$ of 9.6~GeV and for $\barν_μ$ of 3.6~GeV. We compare the measured cross section and kinematic distributions to predictions from the GENIE and NuWro neutrino interaction event generators.
