title: Influence of climate change on pavement design and materials in Canada
Creators: name: Swarna, Surya Teja
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Anthropogenic climate change is having and will continue to have adverse effects on Canadian weather. Trends over the last 50 years elevate the rapid increase in number of the extreme event, the variations in temperature and precipitation, etc. The severe climatic variations in Canada are in line with global climate changes occurring due to increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. Under the current CO₂ emission scenarios, scientists predict that climate trends will further intensify in the near future. It is well known that asphalt pavements are highly sensitive to climate factors. Hence, reviewing both pavement design and materials while accounting climate change is a vital step that can help decelerate pavement deterioration. This study aims to quantify the impact of climate change on pavement performance, including revising pavement design and materials. To achieve this, the temperature and precipitation data were extracted from ten statistically downscaled climate change models, which were gathered from the pacific Canada Climate database. Also, the pavement materials, traffic, and structural data were collected from the Long-term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database. All these data were used in the Pavement Mechanistic-Empirical (ME) software to determine the pavement performance for both baseline and future climate. Various adaptation strategies such as upgrading asphalt binder grade, increasing the thickness of asphalt concrete layer, increasing the base layer thickness, and using stabilized base layers were analyzed to mitigate the climate change impact and to extend the service life of the pavement. All of these adaptation strategies are based on climate change data and its effect on pavement performance. It is also evident that selecting a climate-appropriate asphalt binder is essential in ensuring the longevity of pavement surfaces. As the selection methodology depends on the pavement's temperature, several models can predict pavement temperatures based on recorded ambient air temperatures and other related factors. A commonality between the most predominant pavement temperature models is the geographical limitations to their application. As a result, widely used models such as the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) and Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) do not return accurate values for more Northern temperatures such as those observed in Canada. Thus, a new pavement temperature model was developed for Canadian climatic conditions to determine the appropriate asphalt binder grade for future climate. In addition, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) were also carried out for all the alternatives to determine the CO₂ contributions to Canadian environment and changes in life cycle cost of Canadian pavement surfaces.
Chemical Characterization of Organosulfates in Fine Aerosols in Bakersfield, California During the 2010 CalNex Field Campaign
Creators: name: Rubitschun, Caitlin P.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Organosulfates derived from isoprene, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes have been previously estimated to account for upwards of 30% of total organic aerosol mass in certain locations. Due to the role that acidic sulfate plays in their formation, these compounds can serve as tracers for the enhancement of BSOA formation due to the presence of anthropogenic pollution. Thirty organosulfates from isoprene and various monoterpenes were found in filters collected during the 2010 CalNex campaign in Bakersfield, CA and analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization high-resolution quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/ESI-HR-Q-TOFMS). While these compounds made up only 0.17% of total organic mass on average, source and mechanistic information could be examined. The isoprene-derived organosulfates at m/z 199, 211, 213, and 215 were confirmed to be secondary in origin, and it is suggested that they form via epoxide intermediates, α-Pinene and β-pinene are found to be potential sources for organosulfates at m/z 237, 251, and 267. Additional confirmation that monoterpene-derived nitrooxy organosulfates at m/z 294 and 296 form via nitrate radical reactions was observed. Correlations between m/z 296 and 342 indicate that a limonene-like monoterpene may be a potential source for the latter organosulfate. Overall, the nitrooxy organosulfate derived from a limonene-like monoterpene (m/z 296) was the most abundant organosulfate observed during the campaign, averaging 24 ng m[-3].

Though our analysis covers at once both classical and quantum channels, we also provide a separate treatment of classical noisy channels, and show how, in this case, an alternative self-contained proof can be constructed, with its own particular merits with respect to the general result.

description: The Blue-Cloud project aims to pilot a cyber platform bringing together and providing access to: 1) multidisciplinary data from observations and models, 2) analytical tools, & 3) computing facilities essential to support research to better understand and manage the many aspects of ocean sustainability. Data management will be an integrated activity throughout the project lifetime and should be deployed and supported by the Blue-Cloud services as planned. An initial Blue-Cloud Data Management Plan (DMP) has been compiled to serve as a guidance giving directions. This DMP follows the Horizon 2020 guidelines for Data Management Plans as published by the European Commission. It is organised around solutions and approaches aiming at making data findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable (FAIR). For that purpose, an overview is given of data (to be) managed by the Blue-Cloud project and solutions, both 'existing/already planned' and 'possibly to be developed' are given for applying FAIR principles. In addition, the DMP considers other aspects of data management, such as resources, data security and ethical aspects. This initial DMP will be updated over the course of the project whenever significant changes arise and/or more insights become available as part of the ongoing developments.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: This report briefly discusses sustainable development principles created in the United States and Canada and by the international community, examining their commonalities and differences. The report then uses a set of ten principles developed in North Carolina and illustrates how eighteen non-profit, private and government organizations, considered to be some of the most innovative in the state, have applied these principles. The report discusses the challenges the organizations have overcome and those that they continue to face in implementing sustainable practices. The eighteen case studies not only provide models for other organizations but also facilitate greater understanding of the concept of sustainable development. The sustainability initiatives described in this paper indicate that there is general consensus on the elements of sustainable development. Environmental, social and economic welfare for all citizens must be pursued in such a way that human activities stay within the ability of the Earth to handle their impacts now and in the future while ensuring that people can participate in making decisions that affect their lives. In implementing sustainable practices, the organizations in this study realized multiple benefits ranging from reduced costs and increased profits to more fulfilled employees and a better public image. The examples discussed in this report applied sustainable practices to those operations that were the most important to the success of the organization or that had the greatest social, environmental or economic impact.

description: We study various measures of irrationality for hypersurfaces of large degree in projective space and other varieties. These include the least degree of a rational covering of projective space, and the minimal gonality of a covering family of curves. The theme is that positivity properties of canonical bundles lead to lower bounds on these invariants. In particular, we prove that if X is a very general smooth hypersurface of dimension n and degree d \ge 2n+1, then any dominant rational mapping from X to projective n-space must have degree at least d-1. We also propose a number of open problems, and we show how our methods lead to simple new proofs of results of Ran and Beheshti-Eisenbud.

Integrated Reaction Rate Analysis of Ozone Production in a Photochemical Oxidant Model
Creators: name: Crouse, Raymond R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: Photochemical oxidant models are used to determine the level of control of anthropogenic hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions needed to meet the national ambient air quality standard for ozone. Current models have sophisticated representations of the physical processes controlling the sources, sinks, transport and transformations of tropospheric trace gasses. The output from these models is often simply the time dependent concentration of the trace gasses. This makes it difficult to understand exactly why the model predicts what it does. It is desirable to perform a mass balance analysis of the model output to determine the relative importance of the physical processes and chemistry which control the gas concentrations simulated by the model. A mass balance analysis would provide: • a tool for understanding how a model or how a specific chemical mechanism works; • insights into the source of urban oxidant problems and the appropriateness of various control strategies; • the ability to treat urban areas as large chemical reactors which process anthropogenic trace gas emissions before they are released to the free troposphere. In Chapter 2, I describe modifications to a photochemical oxidant model OZIPR, a research version of EPA's Ozone Isopleth Plotting Program (OZIPP). OZIPR produces output that includes time integrated reaction rates for each reaction, and time integrated dilution, deposition and emissions for each trace gas. I then describe a FORTRAN program, IRREVAL, which can be used to analyze the integrated reaction rates and provide a series of tables showing mass balance information for ozone, nitrogen oxides, OH radicals, and other species of importance. In Chapter 7, I use OZIPR and the Empirical Kinetic Modeling Approach to evaluate the sensitivity of VOC control requirement predictions to CO concentrations. Doubling the initial and aloft CO concentrations increased the VOC control requirement from 23 to 43%. I used these model simulations as an example to illustrate the use of the IRREVAL analysis program.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We numerically construct the BPS and non-BPS wavefunctions of an $\mathcal{N}=4$ quiver quantum mechanics with two Abelian nodes and a single arrow. This model captures the dynamics of a pair of wrapped D-branes interacting via a single light string mode. A dimensionless parameter $ν$, which is inversely proportional to the Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter, controls whether the bulk of the wavefunctions are supported on the Higgs branch or the Coulomb branch. We demonstrate how the BPS and excited states morph as $ν$ is tuned. We also numerically compute the energy gap between the ground state and the first excited states as a function of $ν$. An expression for the gap, computed on the Coulomb branch, matches nicely with our numerics at large $ν$ but deviates at small $ν$ where the Higgs branch becomes the relevant description of the physics. In the appendix, we provide the Schrödinger equations fully reduced via symmetries which, in principle, allow for the numerical determination of the entire spectrum at any point in moduli space. For the ground states, this numerical determination of the spectrum can be thought of as the first \emph{in silico} check of various Witten index calculations.

description: The recent experimental realization of synthetic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) opens a new avenue for exploring novel quantum states with ultracold atoms. However, in experiments for generating two-dimensional SOC (e.g., Rashba type), a perpendicular Zeeman field, which opens a band gap at the Dirac point and induces many topological phenomena, is still lacking. Here we theoretically propose and experimentally realize a simple scheme for generating two-dimension SOC and a perpendicular Zeeman field simultaneously in ultracold Fermi gases by tuning the polarization of three Raman lasers that couple three hyperfine ground states of atoms. The resulting band gap opening at the Dirac point is probed using spin injection radio-frequency spectroscopy. Our observation may pave the way for exploring topological transport and topological superfluids with exotic Majorana and Weyl fermion excitations in ultracold atoms.

Incorporation of Willingness-to-Pay in the Design of a Piped Water System for El Milagro, Guatemala
Creators: name: Robinson, Paul G.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: This study begins with a discussion of the theory of willingness-to-pay and the use of the contingent valuation method in determining an individual's willingness-to-pay for an improved system for water supply. Next, four approaches are taken, using the data gathered in the willingness-to-pay questionnaires, to predict the number of households that would connect to a piped water system and the annual revenues that would be generated at various prices in El Milagro, Guatemala. The approach determined to be most reliable is then employed in the design of a tariff in terms of a price. In general, present average costs paid for water form a reasonable basis for the design of a tariff in terms of a price.

Laparoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation in Patients with Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma Awaiting Orthotopic Liver Transplantation
Creators: name: Raizada, Akshay
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the cancer of primary hepatocyte or primary liver cell and is one of the most common cancers worldwide. HCC is an aggressive cancer often leading to death within 6 months of diagnosis in symptomatic individuals. It is potentially curable by surgical resection, but surgery is the treatment of choice only for a small fraction of patients with localized disease. Treatments other than surgery include infusional chemotherapy, hepatic artery ligation or embolization, percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), cryotherapy, and radiolabeled antibodies. These have shown to be effective in patients with dysplastic nodules awaiting a liver transplantation, and increase the survival in these patients. In our study we instituted minimally invasive therapy radiofrequency ablation of small HCC to look for survival and recurrence in these patients. We looked for sensitivity and specificity of imaging modalities to detect HCC and evaluated the efficacy of RFA in treating patients with HCC awaiting liver transplantation. This is a retrospective case series analysis of 76 patients with small HCC defined as one tumor less than 5 cm or three or more tumors less than 3 cm in size, treated with RFA and awaiting orthotopic liver transplantation from February 2001 to May 2005. The overall patient survival at 6 months and 1-year post-RFA was found to be 85% and 59%. The overall recurrence-free survival at year1 was evaluated to be 42%. The sensitivity and specificity of imaging procedures (eg. CT, MRI) were found to be 43% and 83% respectively.

description: We prove a quenched limiting law for random measures on subshifts at periodic points. We consider a family of measures $\{μ_ω\}_{ω\inΩ}$, where the `driving space' $Ω$ is equipped with a probability measure which is invariant under a transformation $θ$. We assume that the fibred measures $μ_ω$ satisfy a generalised invariance property and are $ψ$-mixing. We then show that for almost every $ω$ the return times to cylinders $A_n$ at periodic points are in the limit compound Poisson distributed for a parameter $\vartheta$ which is given by the escape rate at the periodic point.

description: L’article analyse l’impact de l’ouverture commerciale entre le Maroc et la Chine sur la croissance économique du Royaume. Depuis 1979, l’économie chinoise n’a pas cessé d’évoluer s’inspirant du modèle de ses voisins et dépassant les attentes du reste du monde, hissant une place au plus haut du classement. Ce pays a ainsi suscité l’intérêt de plusieurs économistes, tout comme l’effet que peut avoir l’ouverture sur la croissance. Cette étude s’intéresse alors à ces deux faits. En utilisant la corrélation à régression simple prenant en considération le taux de croissance et les variables de l’ouverture, le résultat a été plutôt positif. Afin de développer l’étude et vérifier le résultat obtenu par l’approche quantitative et surtout discuter des défis que le Maroc devra relever pour mieux profiter de sa relation commerciale avec la Chine, des entretiens semi-directifs ont été réalisés.

Knot Floer Homology and Khovanov-Rozansky Homology for Singular Links

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The (untwisted) oriented cube of resolutions for knot Floer homology assigns a complex $C_{F}(S)$ to a singular resolution $S$ of a knot $K$. Manolescu conjectured that when $S$ is in braid position, the homology $H_{*}(C_{F}(S))$ is isomorphic to the HOMFLY-PT homology of $S$. Together with a naturality condition on the induced edge maps, this conjecture would prove the spectral sequence from HOMFLY-PT homology to knot Floer homology. Using a basepoint filtration on $C_{F}(S)$, a recursion formula for HOMFLY-PT homology, and additional $sl_{n}$-like differentials on $C_{F}(S)$, we prove this conjecture.

description: Massive graph data sets are pervasive in contemporary application domains. Hence, graph database systems are becoming increasingly important. In the experimental study of these systems, it is vital that the research community has shared solutions for the generation of database instances and query workloads having predictable and controllable properties. In this paper, we present the design and engineering principles of gMark, a domain- and query language-independent graph instance and query workload generator. A core contribution of gMark is its ability to target and control the diversity of properties of both the generated instances and the generated workloads coupled to these instances. Further novelties include support for regular path queries, a fundamental graph query paradigm, and schema-driven selectivity estimation of queries, a key feature in controlling workload chokepoints. We illustrate the flexibility and practical usability of gMark by showcasing the framework's capabilities in generating high quality graphs and workloads, and its ability to encode user-defined schemas across a variety of application domains.

description: A 1-plane graph is a graph embedded in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. A 1-plane graph is optimal if it has maximum edge density. A red-blue edge coloring of an optimal 1-plane graph $G$ partitions the edge set of $G$ into blue edges and red edges such that no two blue edges cross each other and no two red edges cross each other. We prove the following: $(i)$ Every optimal 1-plane graph has a red-blue edge coloring such that the blue subgraph is maximal planar while the red subgraph has vertex degree at most four; this bound on the vertex degree is worst-case optimal. $(ii)$ A red-blue edge coloring may not always induce a red forest of bounded vertex degree. Applications of these results to graph augmentation and graph drawing are also discussed.

description: Compounds (III-V) are the main factor in nano-devices such as nano-light emitting diodes to determine this spectrum, the energy gap in the used semiconductor.There is no other way to change the energy gap except to use semiconductor compounds instead of semiconductor elements. A few decades ago, LEDs with 2 light spectrums, red and green, were made, but the possibility of making a blue nano LED with high brightness remained an unsolvable mystery. Making LED with blue light spectrum by GaN made it possible to produce white light with LED. Some of the nano LED lamps are the most efficient lamps, which are widely used day byday. Optical detectors are key components of these circuits.The main substrate for making these circuits is the photonic crystal. Compounds (III-V) of optical nano-optical and nano-electronic devices are one of the most widely used nano- microelectronics. Now it is possible to connect between silicon processor cores and peripheral memory By integrated optical communication channels made of compound semiconductors, with a very high data transfer rate in other communication technologies and connection between processors, it
