Contact, Emotion, Meaning, Compassion, and Beauty as Pathways to Nature Connectedness
Creators: name: Lumber, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of Derby
Year: 2016
Subjects: Nature Connection

proenvironmentalism.

description: The cultural disconnect between humanity and nature that predominantly occurs in westernised, industrial societies been linked to the current environmental issues of the 21st century. It has been suggested that reconnecting humanity with nature would help address anthropogenic environmental problems through behaviour change, while providing physical and mental wellbeing benefits to the individual. While the term connection to nature still implies a separation, it functions as a sous rature for dispelling the erroneous belief that humanity and nature are not one and the same. Nature connectedness is a subjective, multidimensional sensation/perception that an individual belongs to a wider natural community and while the outcomes of a connected relationship with nature have been frequently explored, the pathways that establish this connection have not yet been systematically investigated. While activities including walking in nature, noticing nature, gardening, environmental education, and outdoor pursuits have all been suggested to increase nature connectedness, the multi-dimensionality and subjectivity of the construct make a systematic investigation into the routes to nature connection difficult. The Biophilia Hypothesis offers a potential framework for investigating the pathways to nature connectedness through its nine values that describe the range of possible interactions humanity has with wider nature. Biophilia was therefore utilised as a framework for this very purpose in a systematic investigation into the pathways to nature connectedness. Five research studies were conducted that together form a systematic investigation, comprising of a focus group study (chapter four), two online surveys (chapter five), a face to face intervention (chapter six) and an online writing intervention (chapters seven and eight). The programme of research identified five pathways to nature connectedness; contact, emotion, meaning, compassion, and beauty which were then tested, with increases found in nature connectedness, vitality and proenvironmental attitudes across the two interventions. The thesis presents the first systematic investigation into the routes to nature connection, with the pathways utilised in two interventions that increased nature connectedness. The pathways have the potential to address the perceived separation between humanity and nature within westernised societies. The thesis finishes with a discussion of the possible application of the pathways by charities, public bodies, private enterprises, and in education settings when engaging individuals with nature in order to promote nature connection, wellbeing, and proenvironmentalism.
The Addition of a Hydro Pump to the Mathematical Model of OWASA's Reservoir System
Creators: name: Baldridge, Janeen M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: The Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) currently operates a systenn of three reservoirs to supply water to the residents of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Demand is currently met by electric pumping from University Lake and Cane Creek to the water treatment plant. Stone Quarry is used for backup storage and can be filled by transferring water from Cane Creek via electric pumps. Presently, Cane Creek Reservoir has excess storage capacity. Due to the higher marginal and fixed energy costs associated with pumping from Cane Creek, demand is presently being met by supplying water from University Lake first and then from Cane Creek as needed. If more water could be pumped from Cane Creek at a reduced total electric pumping cost, then more of the excess storage capacity at Cane Creek could be utilized. This can be accomplished by installing a hydropump at Cane Creek to pump water directly from Cane Creek to the water treatment plant free of charge. A hydropump would not incur any electrical charges since it would operate by the force of the water in the reservoir on the turbine of the hydropump. Several million gallons of water would be wasted to drive the turbine; however, the excess water in storage in Cane Creek will be sufficient to meet this requirement. A linear programming model previously developed by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was revised to include hydropumping capability from Cane Creek to the water treatment plant. A monthly wastage rate for the hydropump was estimated based on typical drawdown patterns of Cane Creek reflected in the calculation of friction losses in the transmission main, static head to pump against, and static head available to drive the turbine. Median inflows were used to predict the savings in total electric pumping costs by the installation of a hydropump for a typical inflow year and twenty years of geometrically increasing demands. Sensitivity analyses were performed on the hydro wastage rate and inflows to determine their effect on savings in electrical pumping costs. The present value (PV) of the savings over the 20-year planning period from 1997 through 2016 was calculated for various discount rates to determine the potential range of savings. The PV of the savings ranged from $256,000 for 20 years of dry inflows to $639,000 for 20 years of wet inflows with a 10 mgd hydropump with median wastage rates. Assuming that the purchase and installation of a hydropump would be less than the lower bound of potential savings, the addition of a hydropump to the OWASA reservoir system would be considered a worthwhile investment.

Highway Construction Workers' Exposure to Respirable Crystalline Silica
Creators: name: Service, William S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: Personal samples for respirable crystalline silica were collected from rock driller operators, explosives personnel and earth moving equipment operators on seven dates at a highway construction project in Wake County, North Carolina. Fifty-three percent of drill operators' samples exceeded the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's recommended exposure limit (REL) of 0.05 mg/m^3; 26% exceeded the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 0.10mg/m^3 published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. Fifty percent of bulldozer operators samples exceeded the REL; none were higher than the TLV. Recommendations are offered to reduce exposure to silica at this and other highway construction sites.

description: Two of the key properties of quantum physics are the no-signaling principle and the Grover search lower bound. That is, despite admitting stronger-than-classical correlations, quantum mechanics does not imply superluminal signaling, and despite a form of exponential parallelism, quantum mechanics does not imply polynomial-time brute force solution of NP-complete problems. Here, we investigate the degree to which these two properties are connected. We examine four classes of deviations from quantum mechanics, for which we draw inspiration from the literature on the black hole information paradox. We show that in these models, the physical resources required to send a superluminal signal scale polynomially with the resources needed to speed up Grover's algorithm. Hence the no-signaling principle is equivalent to the inability to solve NP-hard problems efficiently by brute force within the classes of theories analyzed.

description: Objective: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects the life of the family caregiver as well as the patient. This study aimed to determine the care burden and related factors among family caregivers of Turkish ALS patients. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 108 ALS patients and their informal caregivers through face-to-face interviews at home. The data were collected using the ALS Functional Rating Scale, Zarit Burden Interview, European Quality of Life-Five Dimensions Questionnaire, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results: The mean age of the caregivers was 48.1 ± 13.4 years; the vast majority were female, and they were either spouses or children of the patients. While 49.1% reported moderate or severe burden, the quality of life was moderate (mean 70.4 ± 22.8). The caregiver burden was related to sex and the functional state of the patient, as well as caregiver factors such as the relation to the patient, sex, health status, time spent for care, and living in the same house with a limited environment. Walking ability, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, tracheostomy, and communication problems were not associated with the burden. Furthermore, burden was associated with the caregiver’s quality of life, social support, anxiety, and depression. Conclusions: The present study draws attention to the fact that the care burden in family caregivers of ALS patients is high and their quality of life is impaired. Our findings reveal that not only ALS patients but also caregivers need to be supported with an organized and planned system.

description: The moduli space of Higgs bundles has two stratifications. The Bialynicki-Birula stratification comes from the action of the non-zero complex numbers by multiplication on the Higgs field, and the Shatz stratification arises from the Harder-Narasimhan type of the vector bundle underlying a Higgs bundle. While these two stratification coincide in the case of rank two Higgs bundles, this is not the case in higher rank. In this paper we analyze the relation between the two stratifications for the moduli space of rank three Higgs bundles.

Ground-State Cooling of a Mechanical Oscillator by Interference in Andreev Reflection

description: We study the ground-state cooling of a mechanical oscillator linearly coupled to the charge of a quantum dot inserted between a normal metal and a superconducting contact. Such a system can be realized, e.g., by a suspended carbon nanotube quantum dot with a capacitive coupling to a gate contact. Focusing on the subgap transport regime, we analyze the inelastic Andreev reflections which drive the resonator to a nonequilibrium state. For small coupling, we obtain that vibration-assisted reflections can occur through two distinct interference paths. The interference determines the ratio between the rates of absorption and emission of vibrational energy quanta. We show that ground-state cooling of the mechanical oscillator can be achieved for many of the oscillator's modes simultaneously or for single modes selectively, depending on the experimentally tunable coupling to the superconductor.

Optimization of Microbial Diesel Fuel Degradation and N2 Fixation in a Chronically Polluted Embayment
Creators: name: Piehler, Michael Forbes
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: In this study a petroleum hydrocarbon bioremedial technique was designed for enclosed marine environments. An attempt was made to determine conditions optimal for both microbial N2 fixation and petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. Particulate organic carbon (Spartina alterniflora), inert particles (nylon screen and glass filter particles), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), trace metals, and inorganic nutrients were added individually and in combination to maximize the two microbial processes. The greatest increase in petroleum hydrocarbon degradation was obtained by the addition of Spartina particles and inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus (SNP). Particulate organic carbon was integral in any treatment successful in stimulating petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. N2 fixation rates with diesel fuel present could not be measured using the acetylene reduction assay because of volatile emission of ethylene (or a gas that co-elutes with ethylene on an flame ionization detector{FID}) from the petroleum product.
Quantum-phase synchronization

description: We study mechanisms that allow one to synchronize the quantum phase of two qubits relative to a fixed basis. Starting from one qubit in a fixed reference state and the other in an unknown state, we find that contrary to the impossibility of perfect quantum cloning, the quantum-phase can be synchronized perfectly through a joined unitary operation. When both qubits are initially in a pure unknown state, perfect quantum-phase synchronization through unitary operations becomes impossible. In this situation we determine the maximum average quantum-phase synchronization fidelity, the distribution of relative phases and fidelities, and identify optimal quantum circuits that achieve this maximum fidelity. A subset of these optimal quantum circuits enable perfect quantum-phase synchronization for a class of unknown initial states restricted to the equatorial plane of the Bloch sphere.

description: We present numerical studies of the dynamics of vortices in the Ginzburg Landau model using equations derived from the gradient flow of the free energy. These equations have previously been proposed to describe the dynamics of n-vortices away from equilibrium. We are able to model the dynamics of multiple n-vortex configurations starting far from equilibrium. We find generically that there are two time scales for equilibration: a short time scale related to the formation time for a single n-vortex, and a longer time scale that characterizes vortex-vortex interactions.

description: Operators in the pharmaceutical industry are exposed to contaminants that could pose a significant health risk in the absence of appropriate controls. Limitations of current test methods for evaluating performance of engineering controls make it difficult to determine operator exposure and the effectiveness of the device in controlling airborne contaminants. Independent evaluation, with lactose as a surrogate compound, was conducted to evaluate the performance of an engineered and a non-engineered downflow booth for the containment and control of solid particulate while performing different tasks. In the engineered booth, the operator charged 6 kg of lactose into a mock reactor. Operator exposure to lactose never exceeded 30 μg/m^3 as a length of operation time-weighted average. The booth provided sufficient control of the tested particulate and has the potential to provide an acceptable exposure control device for operators inside the booth. In the non-engineered booth an operator dispensed 20 kg, 10 kg, 5 kg, and 100 g of lactose into different size containers. Average operator exposure was 2570, 865, 112, and 85 μg/m^3 as a length of operation time-weighted average respectively. Average airborne concentrations of lactose inside and outside the booth were 4. 7 and 4.3 μg/m^3 respectively. The nonuniformity of the supply and exhaust openings affected the airflow distribution within the enclosure. This booth cannot adequately control operator exposure to single- digit microgram.

description: Aim: To investigate whether the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS) can provide interval level measurement of disability in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), allowing parametric analyses. Methods: Data on the WHODAS 12, 32, and 36-item versions, from 1120 patients studied at one or more time points, were fit to the Rasch model and comparisons made against ALSFRS-R, King’s staging, and mortality. Trajectory modeling was undertaken for a newly diagnosed (≤6 months) cohort of 454 individuals. Results: Total scores for WHODAS 32 and 36-item versions can be converted to interval level measurement suitable for individual clinical use, and the 12-item WHODAS total for group use. The 36-item version is shown to be equivalent to the 32-item version. Expected correlations were seen with King’s staging, ALSFRS-R, and EQ-5D-5L. Trajectory analysis of disability (WHODAS 2.0) showed three clearly demarcated groups with differences in King’s staging, depressive symptomatology and mortality, but not age. Conclusions: The WHODAS 2.0 is a brief patient reported outcome measure which can be used to measure disability in ALS. Provided the patient answers all 36 (32 if not working) items, the conversion table produces an interval level estimate for parametric analyses. The different trajectories demonstrated from diagnosis support the concept of a prodromal period, and suggest the WHODAS 2.0 could be used for surveillance of at risk populations, such as those with genetic predisposition.

description: Objective: The goal of this meta-analysis is to improve insight into the development of cognition over the course of ALS and to assess predictors of cognitive performance. Method: A literature search was conducted in Pubmed and Web of Science on 29 July 2019 and 16 March 2021. Data were screened in Endnote® Version X9 (London, UK). Meta-analyses and meta-regressions were calculated for cross-sectional data using Rstudio®. Studies were assigned to temporal and physical categories and Hedges’ g was calculated for the respective categories to provide an estimate of a cognitive course based on cross-sectional data. Due to low numbers and heterogeneity in reporting, longitudinal studies were analyzed descriptively. Results: A total of N = 45 cross-sectional and N = 13 longitudinal studies were included. Impairments in all cognitive domains, except verbal IQ, were found in ALS patients (PALS). PALS showed stable cognitive performances in cross-sectional and in most longitudinal studies. PALS with symptoms for 18–24 months and PALS who had an ALSFRS-R score of 40–36 were the most frequently reported subgroup regarding neuropsychology. Age was related to visuospatial functioning, and depressiveness to attention. In longitudinal studies, impact of site of onset and cognitive status at baseline on cognitive course was found. Conclusion: Despite vast evidence for cognitive impairment at disease onset in different domains, evidence for evolution of these deficits is rather limited, suggesting that PALS present with cognitive impairment early in the course possibly in a sense of disease trait.

Survival of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), Poliovirus 1, and F-Specific Coliphages in Disposable Diapers and Landfill Leachates
Creators: name: Gray, Mark S.R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: Fecally soiled disposable diapers are often placed in solid waste landfills for disposal purposes. However, the public health impact that these disposals methods have on humans that come in contact with fecally soiled disposable diapers or on the environment is not fully known. Fecally soiled disposable diapers and leachates were seeded with hepatitis A virus (HAV), poliovirus 1 and F-specific (F+) coliphages and incubated aerobically and/or anaerobically at 5, 25 and 40 degrees Celsius. Samples were taken at specific intervals over a 90-day period and were assayed for surviving viruses. In some cases, viruses survived >90 days (the duration of the experiment) in fecal suspensions and solid waste landfill leachates, especially at low temperatures. In both fecally soiled diapers and leachates all viruses survived longer at lower temperatures, with 1 log[10] inactivation in 30 days at 5° Celsius under all conditions. At 40° celsius, viruses were reduced to nondetectable levels (>4 log[10] reduction) in 10-30 days in diapers and in as little as 3 days in leachates. In some cases, viruses were inactivated more rapidly under anaerobic conditions rather than aerobic conditions. Also, the relative survival of individual viruses within leachate samples was not consistent. HAV had the greatest survival rate in leachate 1 at 5 and 25°C and in leachate 2 at 25°C. Poliovirus survived the best in the other leachate conditions: 40°C in both leachate 1 and 2 and at 5°C in leachate 2. Although virus survival in leachates did not display any general trend according to virus type, comparisons of virus survival in fecal suspensions versus sanitary landfill leachates indicates that viruses survive longer in fecal suspensions by as much as 7-fold. Under most conditions, persistence of F-specific coliphages, HAV and poliovirus was similar, thus suggesting that these phages may be useful enteric virus indicators.

Mutation Spectra of the Drinking Water Mutagen 3-Chloro-4-Methyl-5-Hydroxy-2(5H)-Furanone (MCF) in Salmonella TA100 and TA104: Comparison to MX
Creators: name: Shaughnessy, Daniel T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: Disinfection of drinking water by chlorination produces a number of mutagenic by-products. The chlorinated drinking water mutagen3-chloro-4-methyl-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone(MCF) occurs at concentrations similar to or greater than that of the related furanone 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone(MX). MCF and MX differ structurally only by replacement of a 4-methyl in MCF with a 4-dichloromethyl in MX; yet, MCF is significantly less mutagenic than MX and produces different adducts when reacted with nucleosides or DNA. To explore further the effects that these structural differences might have on the biological activity of MCF and MX, we determined the mutation spectra of MCF in Salmonella strains TA100 and TA104 and of MX in strain TA104. Our results show that the replacement of the 4-methyl in MCF with a 4-dichloromethyl group in MX not only dramatically shifts the mutagenic potency but also shifts the mutagenic specificity from an almost equal targeting of GC and AT sites by MCF to an almost exclusive targeting of GC sites by MX.

Predictor-based networked control under uncertain transmission delays
Creators: name: Selivanov, A.
name: Fridman, E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider state-feedback predictor-based control of networked control systems with large time-varying communication delays. We show that even a small controller-to-actuators delay uncertainty may lead to a non-small residual error in a networked control system and reveal how to analyze such systems. Then we design an event-triggered predictor-based controller with sampled measurements and demonstrate that, depending on the delay uncertainty, one should choose various predictor models to reduce the error due to triggering. For the systems with a network only from a controller to actuators, we take advantage of the continuously available measurements by using a continuous-time predictor and employing a recently proposed switching approach to event-triggered control. By an example of an inverted pendulum on a cart we demonstrate that the proposed approach is extremely efficient when the uncertain time-varying network-induced delays are too large for the system to be stabilizable without a predictor.

Flow Visualization Studies of Natural Length in a Cyclone
Creators: name: Menon, Manju N.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: This study is part of a larger investigation attempting to understand gas flow patterns within a cyclone. For the first time, a flow visualization method, using a bubble generator, was utilized to illuminate the gas flow patterns in a cyclone for a certain range of gas flowrates and design configurations. The main objective of this study is to investigate the presence of natural length and the effect of selected cyclone parameters on it. In addition, the effect of these parameters on the number of turns formed in a cyclone was also studied. The flow visualization experiments were recorded on a VHS video cassette. Thus, this study hopes to contribute towards a better understanding of gas flow within a cyclone.

Unruh effect as foundation of universal gravitation within the cosmological scenario
Creators: name: Nassif, Claudio

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We aim to build a simple model of a gas with temperature ($T$) in thermal equilibrium with a black-body that plays the role of the adiabatically expanding universe, so that each particle of such a gas mimics a kind of "particle" (quantum) of dark energy, which is inside a very small area of space so-called Planck area ($l_p^{2}$), that is the minimum area of the whole space-time represented by a huge spherical surface with area $4πr_u^2$, $r_u$ being the Hubble radius. So we should realize that such spherical surface is the surface of the black-body for representing the universe, whose temperature ($T$) is related to an acceleration ($a$) of a proof particle that experiences the own black-body radiation according to the Unruh effect. Thus, by using this model, we derive the law of universal gravitation, which leads us to understand the anti-gravity in the cosmological scenario and also estimate the tiny order of magnitude of the cosmological constant in agreement with the observational data.
