A Commentary on the Effectiveness of Environmental Justice Efforts at the Federal Level and in North Carolina
Creators: name: Byfield, Brian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: When environmental justice questions are asked of transportation infrastructure outcomes, the answers are usually given for individual projects. Responses rarely, if ever, highlight aggregate outcomes across wider geographies. The inclusion of environmental justice considerations into the planning of surface infrastructure projects is intended to ensure that the least powerful members of society do not bear a disproportionate burden of the endeavors. How well have communities around the nation and across North Carolina met this objective? Collectively, have project level outcomes supported this federal policy decision? Have legislative efforts benefitted the populations that they were intended to protect? These questions can neither be answered at the national level nor in North Carolina – but why? It is widely held that environmental justice (EJ) emerged as a concept in the United States in the early 1980s growing out of the term “environmental racism.” Coined by Dr. Benjamin Chavis, this phrase referenced the unjust siting of a hazardous materials waste site in a predominantly black and economically disadvantaged neighborhood in Warren County, N.C. Although this awakening occurred almost twenty years after the 1964 Civil Rights Act, it marked the birth of a new movement that focused attention on the inequitable distribution of environmental hazards across communities.

description: The constituents of soft matter systems such as colloidal suspensions, emulsions, polymers, and biological tissues undergo microscopic random motion, due to thermal energy. They may also experience drift motion correlated over mesoscopic or macroscopic length scales, \textit{e.g.} in response to an internal or applied stress or during flow. We present a new method for measuring simultaneously both the microscopic motion and the mesoscopic or macroscopic drift. The method is based on the analysis of spatio-temporal cross-correlation functions of speckle patterns taken in an imaging configuration. The method is tested on a translating Brownian suspension and a sheared colloidal glass.

Year: 2015

description: Recently, I walked past a door in downtown Durham and saw our economic future flash before my eyes. There was a sign with a red and white icon, and the words “Two Toasters” written on it. This was not an appliance retailer with a limited inventory, but rather a high-tech start-up that develops cutting-edge mobile apps for customers such as Airbnb, Zumba Fitness, and Ebates. This start-up could be located in Mumbai or Moscow, but instead its founders chose downtown Durham. The reason? Talent attraction. What I saw also highlighted the fundamental importance of planning in ensuring our economic prosperity. More and more, companies cite the importance of skilled labor in achieving success in a global economy. Millennials are now the largest segment of the population nationally, and are close to surpassing Gen X in total numbers in North Carolina, where the population is slightly older than the national average. Millennials are also a highly mobile population. Understanding what they want and how they make their locational decisions has become an undertaking of fundamental importance to our state’s economic well-being. To better understand how to attract and retain Millennials, the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA-NC) worked with APA National in 2014 to conduct a special poll. APA hired HarrisPoll, now part of Nielsen, to conduct a scientific survey focusing on the economic perceptions and community preferences of Millennials (ages 21-34), both in North Carolina and nationwide. HarrisPoll also surveyed Generation Xers (ages 35-49) and Active Boomers (ages 50-65). More details on the polling methodology are included in the corresponding sidebar. Here are the results, along with selected commentary on their implications for planning and economic development initiatives.

description: Die Masterarbeit untersucht Sexismus beim Dialogdolmetschen, bzw. im Business Settings. Das Forschungsziel ist die Beobachtung und Analyse der Reaktionen und Verhaltensweisen von DolmetscherInnen, die mit sexistischen Aussagen in einer simulierten Geschäftsituation konfrontiert werden. Der theoretische Teil behandelt Sexismus in Sprache und am Arbeitsplatz und stellt den Stand der Forschung in der Translationswissenschaft bezüglich Sexismus und Dolmetschen, Imagepflege und Herausforderungen der Rolle der DolmetscherInnen (Studierende am Zentrum für Translationswissenschaft in Wien) dar, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit Business Interpreting. Der empirische Teil umfasst eine mit Probandinnen durchgeführte Simulation und ergänzende Interviews. Im Laufe der SImulation werden sexistische Äußerungen als Herausforderung wahrgenommen. DolmetscherInnen verwenden verschiedene Strategien bei dem Umgang mit diesen Aussagen. Am meisten werden Verallgemeinerungen und Abmilderungen von sexistischen Aussagen getätigt.
description: This master's thesis investigates sexism in dialogue interpreting with regard to business setting. The research aims to observe and analyze the reactions and behaviors of interpreters (students at the centre of translation studies of Vienna) when confronted with sexist remarks during a simulated business scenario. The theoretical section covers sexism in language and the workplace, presents the current state of research in translation studies concerning: sexism and interpreting, face work strategies, and challenges in the role of interpreters, particularly in the context of business interpreting. The empirical part involves a simulation conducted with female students and additional interviews. During the simulation, interpreters perceive sexist remarks as challenging and employ various strategies to handle such comments, with generalization and mitigation being the most commonly used techniques.

description: We study sequential Bayesian inference in stochastic kinetic models with latent factors. Assuming continuous observation of all the reactions, our focus is on joint inference of the unknown reaction rates and the dynamic latent states, modeled as a hidden Markov factor. Using insights from nonlinear filtering of continuous-time jump Markov processes we develop a novel sequential Monte Carlo algorithm for this purpose. Our approach applies the ideas of particle learning to minimize particle degeneracy and exploit the analytical jump Markov structure. A motivating application of our methods is modeling of seasonal infectious disease outbreaks represented through a compartmental epidemic model. We demonstrate inference in such models with several numerical illustrations and also discuss predictive analysis of epidemic countermeasures using sequential Bayes estimates.

The effects of maturity status and resistance training on golf swing performance in youth golfers
Creators: name: Shaw, James
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Sports science and exercise not elsewhere classified

description: Golf is a sport that requires a technical, tactical, psychological and physiological mastery to achieve success. Club head speed (CHS) is a key factor in determining scoring in golf and can be enhanced through strength and conditioning. However, which physical qualities relate to CHS and how trainable they are in response to resistance training in talented youth golfers was unknown. Using a novel questionnaire, Chapter 3 showed golf coaches were generally in support of strength and conditioning for youth golfers, yet lacked awareness on current youth training guidelines, highlighting the need for more evidence-informed coach education. The TrackMan® launch monitor is customarily used in golf coaching and research. Chapter 4 reported acceptable within- and between-session reliability for CHS, ball speed, carry distance and total distance variables, enabling coaches to identify talent and monitor longitudinal changes in golf swing performance. Chapter 5 revealed that more skilled golfers were: more mature, able to hit the ball further, produce more isometric peak force and dynamic peak power, jump further, and produce better movement competency. Additionally, maturity status explained a larger amount of variance in CHS and carry distance than handicap, while of the physical fitness variables measured, CMJ absolute peak power and IMTP absolute peak force explained 6-iron and driver CHS and carry distance. These findings will enable training programmes to target key strength and power variables to enhance golf swing performance in youth golfers. Chapter 6 showed that following a 12-week resistance training programme, there were significant interaction effects in favour of the experimental group (versus a maturity-matched control group) for 6-iron and driver carry distance, isometric peak force and dynamic peak power, horizontal and lateral jump distance, and movement competency. Collectively, these findings highlight the trainability of strength and power in youth golfers, which should contribute to enhanced golf swing performance.

description: We present a theoretical study of broadening of defect luminescence bands due to vibronic coupling. Numerical proof is provided for the commonly used assumption that a multi-dimensional vibrational problem can be mapped onto an effective one-dimensional configuration coordinate diagram. Our approach is implemented based on density functional theory with a hybrid functional, resulting in luminescence lineshapes for important defects in GaN and ZnO that show unprecedented agreement with experiment. We find clear trends concerning effective parameters that characterize luminescence bands of donor- and acceptor-type defects, thus facilitating their identification.

description: Microarray-based experiments revealed that thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3) enhanced the binding of Cy5-labeled ATP on heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). By molecular docking experiments with T3 on Hsp90, we identified a T3 binding site (TBS) near the ATP binding site on Hsp90. A synthetic peptide encoding HHHHHHRIKEIVKKHSQFIGYPITLFVEKE derived from the TBS on Hsp90 showed, in MST experiments, the binding of T3 at an EC50 of 50 μM. The binding motif can influence the activity of Hsp90 by hindering ATP accessibility or the release of ADP.
title: Die Rede von "Freiheit" in der evangelischen Predigt der Gegenwart
Creators: name: Schmidt, Laura
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit fragt nach der Rede von Freiheit in gegenwärtigen protestantischen Predigten, ihren theologischen und anthropologischen Bezugspunkten sowie den daraus erwachsenden Erwartungshaltungen bzw. Handlungsaufforderungen an den Predigthörer und beleuchtet diese Aspekte im Fokus des praktisch-theologischen Diskurses mit dem Ziel, einen Beitrag zum Dialog zwischen wissenschaftlicher Forschung und religiöser Praxis zu leisten. Mit Hilfe der semantischen Predigtanalyse von 40 im Internet veröffentlichten Predigten zu Joh 8,31-36, Röm 6,19-23 und Gal 5,1-6 konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass in gegenwärtigen Predigten eine Interpretation von Freiheit auf unterschiedliche Weise möglich ist. Die unterschiedlichen Prämissen biblischer Freiheitsvorstellungen begründen die Vielfalt der homiletischen Aussagen. Darüber hinaus vermag das entsprechende Proprium des Sonn- bzw. Gedenktages die Deutung von Freiheit beeinflussen. Drei Hauptdeutungen von Freiheit konnten herausgestellt werden, die als sogenannte Freiheitsbilder die Relevanz von Freiheit im Verhältnis des Menschen zu Gott und sich selbst beschreiben: Beziehung, Befreiung und Geschenk sind ebenfalls klassische Begriffe der lutherischen Rechtfertigungslehre und weisen auf einen grundlegenden Befund der Analyse hin: Die Deutung menschlicher Freiheit ist in Predigten gänzlich im soteriologischen Kontext der Rechtfertigungslehre angesiedelt.
description: The present work asks about the talk of freedom in contemporary Protestant sermons, its theological and anthropological reference points as well as the resulting expectations or calls to action of the sermon listener and illuminates these aspects in the focus of the practical-theological discourse with the aim of contributing to the dialogue between scientific research and religious practice. With the help of the semantic sermon analysis of 40 sermons published on the Internet on John 8: 31-36, Romans 6: 19-23 and Gal 5: 1-6 it could be proven that in current sermons an interpretation of freedom is possible in different ways. The different premises of biblical concepts of freedom justify the diversity of homiletic statements. In addition, the corresponding proprium of the Sunday or memorial day can influence the interpretation of freedom. Three main interpretations of freedom could be highlighted, which describe the relevance of freedom in man's relationship to God and oneself as socalled images of freedom: relationship, liberation and gift are also classic concepts of the Lutheran doctrine of justification and point to a fundamental finding of the analysis: The interpretation of human freedom in sermons is located entirely in the soteriological context of the doctrine of justification.

description: Using numerical hydrodynamic simulations, we study the gravitational fragmentation of an unstable protostellar disc formed during the collapse of a pre-stellar core with a mass of 1.2 M_sun. The forming fragments span a mass range from about a Jupiter mass to very-low-mass protostars and are located at distances from a few tens to a thousand AU, with a dearth of objects at < 100 AU. We explore the possibility of observational detection of the fragments in discs viewed through the outflow cavity at a distance of 250 pc. We demonstrate that one hour of integration time with the Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array (ALMA) is sufficient to detect the fragments with masses as low as 1.5 M_Jup at orbital distances up to 800 AU from the protostar. The ALMA resolution sets the limit on the minimum orbital distance of detectable fragments. For the adopted resolution of our simulated ALMA images of 0.1", the fragments can be detected at distances down to 50 AU. At smaller distances, the fragments usually merge with the central density peak. The likelihood for detecting the fragments reduces significantly for a lower resolution of 0.5". Some of the most massive fragments, regardless of their orbital distance, can produce characteristic peaks at approximately 5 micron and hence their presence can be indirectly inferred from the observed spectral energy distributions of protostars.

New Developments In Employment Training: Federal Mandates for Change

description: If the last four years of CETA gave the private sector a chance to get its feet wet in the great sea of employment and training programs for the disadvantaged, the federal government's new Job Training Partnership Act of 1982 throws business in from the high board, hoping it will swim. Private sector participation in planning, monitoring, evaluating, and allocating resources for all federally-funded employment and training (E&T) activities will be mandated (as of next October 1); their representatives on Private Industry Councils in each area will be equal partners with local elected officials in deciding how funds will be administered and programs managed. But how much that mandate will be expressed in real involvement remains to be seen. The past twenty years of "involving the private sector" in E&T has taught us that good will is not enough, that a mandated role can be played with little conviction, and that serving the disadvantaged is difficult for the private sector. The crucial questions of how, and how much business and industry can be involved in serving both their own needs and those of disadvantaged youth and adults remain the province of local planners. The task of the 1980s remains the same as it was before the passage of the new law: finding ways to develop E&T policies and plans that maximize the involvement of employers. A true public/private partnership cannot be accomplished by national fiat; it must be based on specific local conditions.

description: Starting from the rigorous excitation equation, the propagation of waves through a 2D waveguide with the periodically corrugated finite-length insert is examined in detail. The corrugation profile is chosen to obey the property that its amplitude is small as compared to the waveguide width, whereas the sharpness of the asperities is arbitrarily large. With the aid of the method of mode separation, which was developed earlier for inhomogeneous-in-bulk waveguide systems [Waves Random Media \textbf{10}, 395 (2000)], the corrugated segment of the waveguide is shown to serve as the effective scattering barrier whose width is coincident with the length of the insert and the average height is controlled by the sharpness of boundary asperities. Due to this barrier, the mode spectrum of the waveguide can be substantially rarefied and adjusted so as to reduce the number of extended modes to the value arbitrarily less than that in the absence of corrugation (up to zero), without changing considerably the waveguide average width.

Managing Western North Carolina's National Forests

description: "OK, you guys, load on the truck and let's head for V-J Stump Branch. Be sure that your axes are sharp and in the box, that you have your lunch from the mess hall, and that you are ready for a long day's work in 30 degree weather. Jim, do you have the first aid kit? Let's go!" The date is January 10, 1935. The place is Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp No. 1, Mountain Rest, South Carolina on the Nantahala National Forest which extends from North Carolina into South Carolina and northern Georgia. The forestry foreman is me, and I quote from my diary, "Had 17 men, covered 52 acres of Timber Stand Improvement (TSI), took 71/2 hours to finish, worked around waterfalls-very pretty; some white pine. Released 18 crop trees per acre." The mountain hardwood forests were managed by law for high-quality mature timber free of disease and insect damage, for the protection of soil and water, for improved habitat for fish and wildlife, and for a variety of recreational uses. Rangers Nicholson and Woody, mountaineer woodsmen untrained in professional forestry, were not too excited about us young foresters just out of school, taking a crew of untrained city kids into the woods with axes to girdle and remove trees of one species to favor another species; to cut down pine trees that had a conk near the top of the tree (an indication of heart rot in pines to the forester) and burying the conk to keep its spores (seed) from spreading to other pines. They disliked Timber Stand Improvement but we just accepted them as great woodsmen with some old-fashioned ideas. Many of us felt that we were making mistakes in girdling large sound trees of hickory and other species to give sunlight to a small tree of a more desired species, but we were under orders and in the learning process. The CCC gave a great boost to forestry and the overall effect was improved management and harvesting of timber through a selection system that maintained a canopy and uneven-aged forests in the southern Appalachians and favored the multiple uses of recreation, wildlife, water and quality timber for which our mountain National Forests are famous.

We describe an efficient numerical algorithm for calculating statistical properties of the stochastic path ensemble. After demonstrating our approach on two reaction rate problems, we present a biophysical model that describes how proteins evolve new functions while maintaining thermodynamic stability. We use our methodology to characterize dynamics of evolutionary adaptation, reproducing several key features observed in directed evolution experiments. We find that proteins generally fall into two qualitatively different regimes of adaptation depending on their binding and folding energetics.

description: MLC601/MLC901 has demonstrated neuroprotective and neuroregenerative properties that enhance neurological recovery in stroke and traumatic brain injury. We aimed to evaluate its safety and potential efficacy in patients with severe spinal cord injury. Patients with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale (AIS) A and B were included in an open-label cohort study. Each received a course of MLC601/MLC901 for 6 months in addition to standard care and rehabilitation. Key endpoints were safety, AIS grade and motor scores at month 6 (M6). Among 30 patients included (mean age 42.2 ± 17.6 years, 24 men), 20 patients had AIS A while 10 patients had AIS B at baseline. Ten patients experienced 14 adverse events including one serious adverse event and six deaths, none were considered treatment-related. AIS improved in 25% of AIS A and 50% of AIS B. Improvement in ASIA motor score was seen most with cervical injury (median change from baseline 26.5, IQR: 6–55). These findings appear to be better than reported rates of spontaneous recovery for SCI AIS A and B. MLC601/MLC901 is safe and may have a role in the treatment of patients with SCI. A controlled trial is justified.

description: We use the roll-out of the national health insurance in Ghana to assess the cushioning effect of coverage on the financial consequences of health shocks and resulting changes in coping behaviors. We find a strong reduction in medical expenditures, preventing households from cutting non-food consumption and causing a decrease in the volume of received remittances as well as labor supply of healthy adult household members. Moreover, we present evidence that the insurance scheme reduced the likelihood that households experiencing a health shock pulled their children out of school in order to put them to work. Avoidance of such costly coping mechanisms is potentially an important part of the social value of formal health insurance. © 2020 The Authors

description: The South has always been supportive of the military since the founding of our country, and southern cities have benefited economically from this relationship ever since the end of World War II. This relationship has evolved so that many southern cities have become dependent on the military and defense industries for their livelihood. The cities of Jacksonville, NC, Fayetteville, NC, and the Hampton Roads area of southeastern Virginia are three places that are greatly affected by the military and defense industries. These areas have various levels of dependency on military and defense industries, ranging from an almost complete reliance as in Jacksonville, to almost total independence as in the Hampton Roads area. A hypothetical scenario in which the military and defense industries closed bases and defense production facilities, would show the real economic impact. Based on this scenario, one can see that those areas that have maintained a diverse economy (not totally dependent on the military and defense industries), such as Hampton Roads, would not be as heavily affected as those areas that chose to be dependent on the military and defense industries, such as Jacksonville. NC. This scenario will be used to define the expected success of each area in the face of demilitarization that may or may not occur. In determining the outcome of the scenario in each city mentioned, one may discover a successful formula for the continued viability of a southern city during and after demilitarization.

description: We present a new technical simulator for the eLISA mission, based on state space modeling techniques and developed in MATLAB. This simulator computes the coordinate and velocity over time of each body involved in the constellation, i.e. the spacecraft and its test masses, taking into account the different disturbances and actuations. This allows studying the contribution of instrumental noises and system imperfections on the residual acceleration applied on the TMs, the latter reflecting the performance of the achieved free-fall along the sensitive axis. A preliminary version of the results is presented.
Local Innovation in Community and Economic Development: Stories from Asheville, Edenton, Kannapolis, Wilson and Winston-Salem
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The North Carolina cities represented by the following articles range from Edenton in the northeastern corner of the state to Asheville in the western Blue Ridge Mountains. They range in size from the town of Edenton, with its 5,000 residents, to the greater Winston-Salem metropolitan area that nearly half a million people call home. Additionally, some of the municipalities represented in these articles grew on the strength of a single industry, while others have fostered diverse economies from the start. Nevertheless, each of them has had to respond to national changes in industry, corporate structure, and demographic trends by deciding which parts of their civic culture, built environment, and identity to preserve, and which to wholly readjust. Their stories of change and resilience are told here through collaborations between planners and economic developers, with help from elected offi cials and others involved in the processes of change. The entire assemblage was planned and marshaled by Denise Boswell, Ph.D., in her capacity as the Outreach Coordinator for the North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association. Includes: Introduction; Edenton: New Life for the Edenton Cotton Mill; Wilson: Connected to Past and Future; Winston-Salem: A Study in Growth, Resilience, and Adaptability; Kannapolis: From Mill Town to Research-Based Economy; Asheville: Resilience through Leadership, Partnerships and Diversity

description: Resins are important for enhancing both the processability and performance of rubber. Their efficient utilization requires knowledge about their influence on the dynamic glass transition and their miscibility behavior in the specific rubber compound. The resins investigated, poly-(α-methylstyrene) (AMS) and indene-coumarone (IC), differ in molecular rigidity but have a similar aromaticity degree and glass transition temperature. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations show an accumulation of IC around the silanized silica in styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) at high contents, while AMS does not show this effect. This higher affinity between IC and the silica surface leads to an increased compactness of the filler network, as determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The influence of the resin content on the glass transition of the rubber compounds is evaluated in the sense of the Gordon–Taylor equation and suggests a rigid amorphous fraction for the accumulated IC. Broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) and fast differential scanning calorimetry (FDSC) are applied for the characterization of the dielectric and thermal relaxations as well as for the corresponding vitrification kinetics. The cooling rate dependence of the vitrification process is combined with the thermal and dielectric relaxation time by one single Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann–Hesse equation, showing an increased fragility of the rubber containing AMS.
Cool-gas metallicity distribution around nearby galaxies mapped with integral field spectroscopy

description: Combining cool-gas metallicity and warm-gas metallicity is essential to build a complete census of metals in and around galaxies. While comparisons of cool-gas metallicity and warm-gas metallicity have been performed in integral field spectroscopy (IFS) studies of quasar absorbers at higher redshifts, we present for the first time such comparison for the z~0 galaxies that have much more detailed information.We present a study of the CGM of 14 galaxies at z<0.1 that have been mapped with IFS by measuring absorption lines produced by the gas in HST/COS spectra of background quasars/AGN at impact parameters of 0-25 effective radii from the galaxy center. We report measurements of the CGM metallicity along sightlines at various elevation angles and comparisons with the metallicity gradient in the disk measured by modelling the IFS maps. Our results for the CGM metallicity, ionization, and gas velocities are consistent with expectations for gas flows in and out of the galaxies. The azimuthal angle distribution of the CGM metallicity and the dependence of CGM metallicity on galaxy stellar mass are consistent with predictions from TNG50 simulations. Our small sample offers the first detailed comparisons of CGM properties with extrapolations of detailed galaxy maps from IFS. Similar studies for larger samples are needed to understand how stellar components of galaxies interact with the CGM and how metals are distributed around galaxies. We acknowledge support from NASA/STScI.

description: The evolution of beam phase space in ionization-induced injection into plasma wakefields is studied using theory and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The injection process causes special longitudinal and transverse phase mixing leading initially to a rapid emittance growth followed by oscillation, decay, and eventual slow growth to saturation. An analytic theory for this evolution is presented that includes the effects of injection distance (time), acceleration distance, wakefield structure, and nonlinear space charge forces. Formulas for the emittance in the low and high space charge regimes are presented. The theory is verified through PIC simulations and a good agreement is obtained. This work shows how ultra-low emittance beams can be produced using ionization-induced injection.
