description: We numerically study the head-on scattering of a 't Hooft-Polyakov magnetic monopole and antimonopole for a wide range of parameters. In contrast to the scattering of a $λϕ^4$ kink and antikink in 1+1 dimensions, we find that the monopole and antimonopole annihilate even when scattered at relativistic velocities. If the monopole and antimonopole have a relative twist, there is a repulsive force between them and they can initially be reflected. However, in every case we have examined, the reflected monopoles remain bound and eventually annihilate. We also calculate the magnetic helicity in the aftermath of monopole-antimonopole annihilation and confirm the conversion of relative twist to magnetic helicity as discussed earlier in the electroweak case.

title: Measuring the Quality of the International Judiciary: The ECOWAS Community Court of Justice
Creators: name: Adeosun, Adedamola
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: The ever-growing and increasingly important role played by international courts in the administration of justice has necessitated the assessment of the quality of their decision-making process and other concepts relating to the performance of these courts, even more so in the case of the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice (the ECOWAS Court or the Court), the regional court for West Africa, which has become a go-to alternative for litigants who do not have faith in the judiciaries in their member states. Yet, the quality of these international courts has not attracted substantial scholarly attention. With a primary focus on the ECOWAS Court, this thesis assesses the independence, accountability and transparency of the judiciary as variables for measuring the quality of international courts. This thesis critically analyses the quality of the ECOWAS Court in terms of the composition of the Court, its decision-making process, and its judgement in comparison to the European Court of Human Rights and the domestic courts in the ECOWAS member states. It aims to provide a thorough examination of the quality of the ECOWAS Court while considering its legal regime, the practices within the Court, and its interaction with the parent organisation, ECOWAS, and other stakeholders. This thesis adopts the doctrinal approach of legal research to analyse the various treaties, protocols, supplementary protocols, directives and decisions of the ECOWAS Court and those of the other courts assessed. To achieve a synthesised comparison between the ECOWAS Court and other international and domestic courts, comparative methodology, which investigates the legal implications of a legal issue in different jurisdictions or institutions, is adopted. Ultimately, this thesis identifies the gaps in the Court’s legal regime and offers recommendations for enhancing its quality and initiating reforms in the legal regime of the ECOWAS Court.

description: Bearing fault diagnosis has been a challenge in the monitoring activities of rotating machinery, and it's receiving more and more attention. The conventional fault diagnosis methods usually extract features from the waveforms or spectrums of vibration signals in order to realize fault classification. In this paper, a novel feature in the form of images is presented, namely the spectrum images of vibration signals. The spectrum images are simply obtained by doing fast Fourier transformation. Such images are processed with two-dimensional principal component analysis (2DPCA) to reduce the dimensions, and then a minimum distance method is applied to classify the faults of bearings. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with experimental data.
An efficacy analysis of foreclosure counseling: can counseling-based mortgage default intervention foster sustainable homeownership?
Creators: name: Hollander, Bryan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: The ongoing economic downturn in the United States has negatively impacted individual homeowners' ability to repay their mortgage debt. This is particularly true of low and moderate income borrowers, a segment of the purchasing population that expanded considerably during the homeownership boom of 2000 - 2007. Between 2007 and 2011 more than 13 million mortgages entered some type of default mitigation or workout process. Despite this intense effort to mitigate home loss among at-risk borrowers, as of February 2011 roughly 2.7 million residential borrowers were 60+ days delinquent, and that number continues to rise. Urban planning professionals involved in housing, along with economic development advocates and policymakers, want to understand how well foreclosure mitigation strategies work, and which strategies are most effective. Foreclosure counseling is a particularly popular method for slowing the rise in mortgage default. However, further research is necessary to identify which counseling methods provide the most benefit to homeowners. This paper studied a representative foreclosure counseling agency, analyzing their experimental approach to the counseling process. The agency, in addition to standard counseling and financial education services, attempted to alter their clients' spending behaviors. The innovation was reducing mortgage default and default recidivism among foreclosure counseling clients by making those clients more aware of how spending behaviors impact their ability to pay debt liabilities. In the following study, I explored the efficacy of this strategy. Overall, I found that the experimental behavior modification program was statistically correlated to higher home retention than standard counseling treatment. Moreover, when counselors couple the behavior modification with a sustainable mortgage modification, the client is highly likely to remain in their home despite previous default history. The spending behavior modification program is a replicable strategy that planners, policy makers, and economic development professionals should consider when creating foreclosure mitigation plans in their home municipalities.

description: Spaceborne solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) products have emerged over the past decade. However, limited by the spatial-temporal mismatch between satellite-based and ground measurements or the absence of sufficient in situ SIF observations, no direct validation results of satellite-derived SIF products have been provided to date. The Orbiting Carbon Observatoty-2/3 (OCO-2/3) platforms allow us to validate SIF products using in situ SIF observations benefiting from comparable spatial resolution (1.3 km × 2.25 km and 1.6 km × 2.2 km, respectively) to ground measurements. In addition, the automated in situ SIF measurement technique facilitates accuracy validation of spaceborne SIF dataset. In this communication, we describe a direct validation of OCO-2/3 SIF products using tower-based SIF measurements acquired at six sites across China. There were 1–7 and 1–18 successful observations overpassing six in situ sites for OCO-2 and OCO-3, respectively. An overall consistent temporal variation pattern was observed between the OCO-2/3 SIF products and tower-based SIF measurements. The validation accuracies of OCO-2 and OCO-3 SIF products were 0.26 and 0.33 mW m−2 sr−1 nm−1, respectively. To best use satellite-based SIF products in a wide range of applications, we suggest that further accuracy validation using more in situ SIF observations is required, which in turn requires increased availability of public in situ SIF observations.

description: In the contemporary digital epoch, the confluence of cybersecurity protocols and religious convictions engenders a multifaceted and profound dynamic that influences individuals' behaviors and perceptions in both cyberspace and their spiritual lives. This scholarly inquiry probes the intricate interplay between cybersecurity measures designed to protect digital assets and reli-gious doctrines, encompassing spiritual, moral, and ethical dimensions. As technological advancements accelerate, discerning this interaction becomes increasingly pivotal. By examining the influence of religious beliefs on se-curity practices, trust, and ethical comportment in the digital domain, this study illuminates the intricate correlations between digital fortifications and spiritual principles. Employing a multidisciplinary approach that synthesiz-es insights from psychology, cybersecurity, and theology, this research elu-cidates the challenges and prospects emerging at the intersection of technol-ogy and faith in the digital milieu. Consequently, it contributes to a pro-found comprehension of how individuals navigate their digital and spiritual identities within an interconnected global framework.

Neighborhoods by Foot: A Study of Neighborhood Walkability Over Time, Charlotte, North Carolina

description: A Planning Failure
The 1950s “American dream” of a secluded home in the suburbs, a wife
and two children, and a family automobile to drive everywhere seems
to have created some unintended consequences over sixty years later.
Today, residents of the nation’s sprawling suburbs spend many of their
waking hours in the car, whether in traffic on a work commute, or just
driving to a store or restaurant. According to the most recent National
Household Travel Survey from the United States Department of Transportation,
the average American spends one hour traveling a total of 40
miles per day, usually alone. Furthermore, only eight percent of routine
trips are made by walking, with merely two percent of work trips being
on foot (Campoli, 2012). Simply put, the separation of land uses in the
suburbs has made traveling without a car impossible.
What’s the result of all this driving? Americans have developed a reputation
worldwide for being overweight and inactive. Health concerns have
spurred various studies. One study co-authored by the Transportation
Research Board and the Institute of Medicine found that 55 percent of
the U.S. adult population is less active than recommended guidelines,
and that approximately 25 percent report being inactive when not
working. The same study reports that walking briskly for 30 minutes for
at least five days a week reduces the risk of premature death and various
diseases; improves psychological well-being; and helps to maintain a
constant weight (Humphery, 2005). The built environment has a complex,
but important relationship with physical activity, being an important
factor in one’s decision to walk for both pleasure and transportation.
As time has passed, preferences have also changed against the secluded
auto-centric suburbs. Researchers including Chris Leinberger believe
that today’s large population of baby boomers will soon exchange their
suburban homes where they once raised children for smaller homes
in walkable locations with good access to public services. Further, the
Millennial generation is shunning auto-centric suburbs in favor of
urban cores, where 77 percent of them live now or plan to reside. They
seek vibrant, walkable communities that boast economic, social, and
recreational opportunities. Only half of first-time homebuyers say they
are seeking drivable suburban homes (Leinberger, 2010). Such research
findings offer hope for the future success of walkable environments.

description: Clinicians are typically trained to build rapport with clients using empathetic understanding. While empathy makes it possible to resonate with clients’ emotions, routine exposure to the suffering of others can also result in empathic distress and decreased helping behaviours. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies suggest that this is because empathising with the suffering of others activates neural networks associated with pain responses and distress. Researchers have started exploring the neural correlates of compassion and whether clinicians should be trained to develop compassion, rather than empathy, for their clients. Distinct from empathy, compassion does not involve sharing emotions or suffering with others, rather, it involves an other-orientated attitude of care for another person’s suffering. Compassion has been associated with positive affect and the ability to tolerate emotional distress and respond to the needs of others. However, research exploring the neural correlates of compassion have produced mixed results. It is expected that these varied and/or non-conclusive results are the result of heterogeneity in the samples and methods of studies. For example, the discrepancies between previous studies might be explained by the variety of tasks and stimuli used (e.g., compassion-inducing narratives, images, or human vocalisations) and the variety of compassion practices and training programs. A systematic review will be conducted to explore the neural correlates of compassion and identify reasons for variability in findings. The findings of the present systematic review will be compared to the findings of meta-analyses examining the neural correlates of empathy. If compassion is found to involve different, non-overlapping brain networks to empathy, increase positive affect, and reduce the risk of empathic distress, compassion may represent a critical strategy for preventing clinician burnout.

description: We study the cross section for vector boson ($W^{\pm}/Z^0/γ^*$) production in polarized nucleon-nucleon collisions for low transverse momentum of the observed vector boson. For the case where one measures the transverse momentum and azimuthal angle of the vector bosons, we present the cross sections and the associated spin asymmetries in terms of transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) at tree level within the TMD factorization formalism. To assess the feasibility of experimental measurements, we estimate the spin asymmetries for $W^{\pm}/Z^0$ boson production in polarized proton-proton collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) by using current knowledge of the relevant TMDs. We find that some of these asymmetries can be sizable if the suppression effect from TMD evolution is not too strong. The $W$ program at RHIC can, thus, test and constrain spin theory by providing unique information on the universality properties of TMDs, TMD evolution, and the nucleon structure. For example, the single transverse spin asymmetries could be used to probe the well-known Sivers function $f_{1T}^{\perp q}$, as well as the transversal helicity distribution $g_{1T}^{q}$ via the parity-violating nature of $W$ production.

Building a Winner: Arts and Culture-Based Economic Development and Downtown Revitalization in Small Towns
Creators: name: Levin, Adam
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Revitalization and economic development projects based upon arts and culture or incorporating elements of them have gained favor with economic and community development practitioners in urban neighborhoods and downtowns throughout North America. From Chicago’s South Side to Toronto, these projects have helped usher in renewed stability and vitality, drawing tourism dollars, private investment, new businesses and an increased sense of community pride to their areas.1 Arts and culture revitalization projects can catalyze economic development by leveraging underutilized physical and cultural assets often already existing in a neighborhood. Arts and culture revitalization efforts have, in certain cases, shown themselves to be effective and efficient tools for economic stabilization and growth by, among other things, repurposing vacant and underused real estate and infrastructure.
This paper will show that arts and culture-based projects can be sources of endogenous growth and succeed as agents of revitalization and economic development in small towns as well as large cities. These projects, when done well, can trigger increased private investment, new business growth, tourist spending and even industrial recruitment for these places. But when done wrong, arts and culture-based economic development projects can divert valuable resources and use up precious social capital, making the goals of revitalization and economic development ever more distant. The question, then, is how does a small town—with more limited resources, smaller populations and fewer drivers of tourism than a Toronto or a Chicago—do arts and culture-based economic development projects right? How can a small town build a winning strategy?
An optomechanical elevator: Transport of a Bloch oscillating Bose-Einstein condensate up and down an optical lattice by cavity sideband amplification and cooling

description: We analyze the optomechanics of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with the optical lattice inside a laser-pumped optical cavity and subject to a uniform bias force such as gravity. An atomic wave packet in a tilted lattice undergoes Bloch oscillations; in a cavity the backaction of the atoms on the light leads to a time-dependent modulation of the intracavity lattice at the Bloch frequency. When the Bloch frequency is on the order of the cavity damping rate we find transport of the atoms either up or down the lattice. The transport dynamics can be interpreted as a manifestation of dynamical backaction-induced sideband damping/amplification of the optomechanical Bloch oscillator. Depending on the sign of the pump-cavity detuning, atoms are transported either with or against the bias force accompanied by an up- or down-conversion of the frequency of the pump laser light. We also evaluate the prospects for using the optomechanical Bloch oscillator to make continuous measurements of forces by reading out the Bloch frequency. In this context we establish the significant result that the optical spring effect is absent and the Bloch frequency is not modified by the backaction.

description: Binary neutron star mergers are strong gravitational wave (GW) sources and the leading candidates to interpret short duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs). Under the assumptions that SGRBs are produced by double neutron star mergers and that the X-ray plateau followed by a steep decay as observed in SGRB X-ray light curves marks the collapse of a supra-massive neutron star to a black hole (BH), we use the statistical observational properties of {\em Swift} SGRBs and the mass distribution of Galactic double neutron star systems to place constraints on the neutron star equation of state (EoS) and the properties of the post-merger product. We show that current observations already put following interesting constraints: 1) A neutron star EoS with a maximum mass close to a parameterization of $M_{\rm max} = 2.37\,M_\odot (1+1.58\times10^{-10} P^{-2.84})$ is favored; 2) The fractions for the several outcomes of NS-NS mergers are as follows: $\sim40\%$ prompt BHs, $\sim30\%$ supra-massive NSs that collapse to BHs in a range of delay time scales, and $\sim30\%$ stable NSs that never collapse; 3) The initial spin of the newly born supra-massive NSs should be near the breakup limit ($P_i\sim1 {\rm ms}$), which is consistent with the merger scenario; 4) The surface magnetic field of the merger products is typically $\sim 10^{15}$ G; 5) The ellipticity of the supra-massive NSs is $ε\sim (0.004 - 0.007)$, so that strong GW radiation is released post the merger; 6) Even though the initial spin energy of the merger product is similar, the final energy output of the merger product that goes into the electromagnetic channel varies in a wide range from several $10^{49}$ erg to several $10^{52}$ erg, since a good fraction of spin energy is either released in the form of GW or falls into the black hole as the supra-massive NS collapses.

Mindfulness, time affluence, and affective appraisals of the journey to work: an exploration of relationships
Creators: name: LaJeunesse, Seth Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: To date, behavioral travel research has neglected to examine the role of mindfulness in the context of the work commute. Mindfulness is a psychological construct that involves a present-oriented, open, and nonjudgmental expression of conscious awareness. It has been associated with improvements to mental health, social engagement, and behavioral regulation. In this research, I examined ways in which users of different commuting modes (walkers, bicyclists, drivers, and bus users) perceive their journey to work from an affective stance. I then assessed commuter group differences with respect to dispositional mindfulness and time affluence (the perception that one has sufficient time to engage in pleasurable, meaningful activity). Finally, I explored direct and indirect relationships between mindfulness and commute-related attunement (the degree to which commuters find their work trip satisfying and peaceful), and how time affluence, commute-related stress, and competence partially mediate this relationship. I hypothesized that (a) non-motorized commuters would find their commute more affirming and less stressful than drivers or bus users; (b) that non-motorized commuters would report greater time affluence and mindfulness than drivers and bus users; and (c) that time affluence, competence, and stress would partially mediate a mindfulness-attunement relationship. I surveyed 786 university employees about their (a) relative degrees competence, stress, and attunement in the context of the work commute; (b) perceptions of time affluence over the previous month; and (c) levels of dispositional mindfulness. Our results revealed that bus users, walkers and bicyclists reported significantly less stress than drivers. Walkers and bicyclists reported greater positive journey-based affect than drivers and bus users. Additionally, walkers and bus users maintained relatively greater perceptions of time affluence than drivers. Structural equation models illustrated that mindfulness, operating through time affluence, competence, and stress both directly and indirectly enhances attunement to the commuting experience. Considered together, these findings suggest that in order to encourage individuals to engage in active transportation, it may prove profitable to enhance individual-level time affluence and sense of competence using non-motorized modes. This study also promotes the broadening of behavioral travel research to include investigations of ways in which mindfulness and elements of natural and built environments produce synergistic effects toward enhancing mental health.

description: There is an ongoing debate on the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) in the attentional blink (AB). Theoretical accounts propose that NCC during the attentional blink occur late in the processing hierarchy and that this quality is specific to the AB. We investigated this question by recording event-related potentials during an AB experiment with faces as T2. We analyzed ERPs to T2 stimuli inside (short lag) and outside (long lag) the AB window after carefully calibrating T2 stimuli to ensure equal visibility ratings across lags. We found that the N170, the visual awareness negativity (VAN), and the P3b showed an increased amplitude for seen compared to unseen face stimuli regardless of stimulus lag and that all these components scale linearly with subjective visibility. These findings suggest similar early and late mechanisms of graded perceptual awareness within and outside the AB across perceptual (N170, VAN) and post-perceptual (P3b) processing stages.

A Hydrodynamical Study on the Conversion of Hadronic Matter to Quark Matter: II. Diffusion-Induced Conversion

description: We study transitions of hadronic matter (HM) to 3-flavor quark matter (3QM), regarding the conversion processes as combustion and describing them hydrodynamically. Under the assumption that HM is metastable with their free energies being larger than those of 3QM but smaller than those of 2-flavor quark matter (2QM), we consider in this paper the conversion induced by diffusions of seed 3QM. This is a sequel to our previous paper, in which the shock-induced conversion was studied in the same frame work. We not only pay attention to the jump condition on both sides of the conversion front but the structures inside the front are also considered by taking into account what happens during the conversion processes on the time scale of weak interactions. We employ for HM the Shen's EOS, which is based on the relativistic mean field theory, and the bag model-based EOS for QM just as in the previous paper. We demonstrated in that paper that in this combination of EOS's the combustion will occur for a wide range of the bag constant and strong coupling constant in the so-called endothermic regime, in which the Hugoniot curve for combustion runs below the initial state. We find that weak deflagration nearly always occurs and that weak detonation is possible only when the diffusion constant is (unrealistically) large and the critical strange fraction is small. The velocities of the conversion front are ~ $10^3-10^7$ cm/s depending on the initial temperature and density as well as the parameters in the QM EOS and become particularly small when the final state is in the mixed phase. Finally we study linear stability of the laminar weak-deflagration front and find that it is unstable in the exothermic regime (Darrius-Landau instability) but stable in the endothermic regime, which is quite contrary to the ordinary combustions.

Zoomed high-resolution simulations of Multi-coupled Dark Energy: cored galaxy density profiles at high redshift

description: We perform for the first time high-resolution zoom-in re-simulations of individual halos in the context of the Multi-coupled Dark Energy (McDE) scenario, which is characterised by the existence of two distinct dark matter particle species with opposite couplings to a Dark Energy scalar field. We compare the structural properties of the simulated halos to the standard Lambda-CDM results. The zoomed-in initial conditions are set up using a specifically designed code called ZInCo that we publicly release along with the present paper. Our numerical results allow to investigate in detail and with unprecedented resolution the halo segregation process that characterises McDE cosmologies from its very early stages. In particular, we find that in contrast to what could be inferred from previous numerical analysis at lower resolution, the segregation process is already in place at redshifts as high as z ~ 7. Most remarkably, we find that the subsequent evolution of the segregation leads to the formation of cored total matter density profiles with a core size that progressively increases in time. The shape of the cored profiles can be accurately predicted as the superposition of two NFW profiles with an increasing offset, thereby confirming the interpretation of the simulations results in terms of the segregation of the two dark matter components of the halo as a consequence of their different coupling to the Dark Energy field.

description: The overall purpose of this project is to summarize existing research, both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed, on ECE deserts. It’s intended to be a summary both of the findings of such literature (i.e., the prevalence of deserts, the extent of the shortage of ECE within “deserts”), as well as the variation in methods used to identify a geography as an ECE desert or “child care desert”. We hope that a systematic review of the literature will inform researchers who are interested in building on past methods to improve the quality of this type of research.

Slow Kerr-NUT black hole solution in dynamical Chern-Simons modified gravity

description: The slow rotation of Kerr-NUT spacetime is explored by taking into account the linear form of rotation and NUT parameters in the dynamical Chern-Simon gravity theory, which can be formulated from a scalar field describing the background. We show that in the absence of the potential scalar field, the metric potential does not respect the effect of the NUT parameter, although the scalar field is affected by the rotation and NUT parameters. Consequently, unlike the gradually spinning black hole solution outlined in \cite{Alexander:2009tp}, the mixed component of the metric potential, encompassing both rotational and NUT parameters, doesn't make a contribution at the primary level of the initial perturbation.
