An Unpublished Cadenza By Gounod For Mozart's Piano Concerto KV 491
Creators: Mueter, John A.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1982
Subjects: Music

description: The Washington State University Libraries have, over the years, acquired a small but significant collection of music manuscripts. One of the most interesting items in the collection is the manuscript of a cadenza written by Charles Gounod for the first movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor, KV 491. The manuscript was purchased in London just after the Second World War. It had been labelled as an "untitled piece for piano by Charles Gounod" and remained thus for almost 35 years until its recent discovery and identification by this author. The cadenza is especially valuable in light of the fact that Mozart himself did not provide any original cadenza for this concerto, undoubtedly one of the greatest in the repertoire. In comparison with the many cadenzas which have been written by other composers for this concerto movement, Gounod's can be regarded as one of the better attempts. It is important to bear in mind that a cadenza serves a specific purpose. Occurring before the coda, the cadenza takes its cue from the forceful emphasis of the tonic six-four by the orchestra. It is meant to be a personal commentary, reworking the themes presented in the movement and possibly even containing some additional new material. The cadenza should always be in keeping with the general character of the concerto movement itself. Gounod, for all his reverence and deep appreciation of Mozart, is a romantic composer after all. However, his romanticism is largely tempered by restraint, refinement, and a genuine regard for the character of the movement. Gounod's cadenza should be regarded as a welcome addition to the list of cadenzas available for the C minor Concerto.
Characterization of Nucleoside Adducts Resulting from the in vitro Reaction of Cyclopenta[cd]pyrene-3,4-oxide with DNA
Creators: name: Hayward, Jeffrey Joseph
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: The environmental contaminant cyclopenta[cd]pyrene (CPP) is a potent genotoxic carcinogen. Once inhaled or ingested, the compound can be readily activated to metabolites capable of disrupting cellular DNA. In the present study we undertook to characterize the nature of the chemical interaction between the putative reactive metabolite of CPP, CPP-3,4-oxide, and nucleotide bases on the DNA strand. Methods for adduct formation and subsequent retrieval of nucleoside adducts were developed, allowing for structural characterization of a number of CPP-DNA adducts by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Emergency Department Diagnoses in Eastern North Carolina Associated with Smoke Exposure from the 2011 Pains Bay Wildfire
Creators: name: Tinling, Melissa

Year: 2012

description: A 2011 peat wildfire near Pains Bay,North Carolina (NC) caused widespread and recurrent population exposure to smoke. In 2008 smoke from a wildfire in the same region was associated with increased cardiopulmonary outcomes in eastern NC. We conducted a population-based epidemiologic investigation of associations between county-level fine particulate matter (PM[25])concentrations modeled by HYSPLIT and emergency department diagnoses collected through syndromic surveillance in 28 counties between May 5 and June 18, 2011. We estimated changes in the cumulative relative risk of ED diagnoses over 0-2 lagged days of smoke exposure using a quasi-Poisson regression model adjusted for weather, weekends and county-level poverty. Cumulative relative risk associated with a 1Oμg/m^3 increase in 24-hr. PM[25] was significantly elevated in adults for upper respiratory infections [1.13(1.05-1.22)], cardiopulmonary symptoms [1.06(1.00-1.13)], hypertension [1.05(1.00-1.09)]and cardiac diagnoses [1.06(1.00-1.13)].

description: Explaining the necessity for his own book, the anonymous author of
the late fourteenth-century Tractatus figurarum quoted above was prescient
in articulating the main rhythmic notational problem for the next two
centuries: how to combine different mensurations in a single composition,
thereby expanding the range of available rhythmic durations and proportional
relationships between notes. Yet his solution, which was to codify a
new set of strangely-shaped note forms to represent proportional shifts
within different mensurations, was obsolete by the second decade of the
fifteenth century; the contemporaneous practice of using signs to indicate
proportions, while leaving the note shapes unaffected, became the method
of choice for ensuing generations of composers. The author of the Tractatus
furthermore could not anticipate the myriad ways different mensurations
would be combined and the degree of variation in interpretation that was
possible

Physical and Chemical Evaluation of Continuous Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion of Wastewater Sludge
Creators: name: Crunk, Phillip L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance of a completely-mixed flow reactor (CMFR) used to treat municipal wastewater sludge under varied thermophilic operating temperatures (55, 53, and 51°C) and at low a hydraulic retention time (HRT). Parameters investigated included pH, alkalinity, total and volatile solids destruction, residual volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations, gas production, gas composition, and ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) concentrations. This study was part of a larger investigation as an attempt to obtain approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a unique thermophilic anaerobic reactor configuration developed by the South Columbus (Georgia) Water Resources Facility (SCWRF) and Brown and Caldwell, Inc.. The bench-scale study coupled a CMFR with a completely-mixed batch reactor (CMBR) to meet pathogen criteria in activation established by the EPA for Class A municipal biosolids.

description: Quantum steering---a strong correlation to be verified even when one party or its measuring device is fully untrusted---not only provides a profound insight into quantum physics but also offers a crucial basis for practical applications. For continuous-variable (CV) systems, Gaussian states among others have been extensively studied, however, mostly confined to Gaussian measurements. While the fulfillment of Gaussian criterion is sufficient to detect CV steering, whether it is also necessary for Gaussian states is a question of fundamental importance in many contexts. This critically questions the validity of characterizations established only under Gaussian measurements like the quantification of steering and the monogamy relations. Here, we introduce a formalism based on local uncertainty relations of non-Gaussian measurements, which is shown to manifest quantum steering of some Gaussian states that Gaussian criterion fails to detect. To this aim, we look into Gaussian states of practical relevance, i.e. two-mode squeezed states under a lossy and an amplifying Gaussian channel. Our finding significantly modifies the characteristics of Gaussian-state steering so far established such as monogamy relations and one-way steering under Gaussian measurements, thus opening a new direction for critical studies beyond Gaussian regime.

Modeling Aquifer Storage and Recovery of Treated Drinking Water
Creators: name: Avs, Mallikarjun
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is a practice in which treated drinking water is stored in an aquifer during periods of excess supply and withdrawn and used, with only disinfection, during periods of peak demand. The primary advantages of the method is a reduced size of treatment and constructed storage facilities. However, the propriety of the method depends upon the efficiency of the recovery process and the extent of water quality changes that occur during subsurface storage. Due to existing and evolving water quality regulations, trihalomethane and haloacetic acid concentrations are parameters of concern. These parameters, and other species concentrations, are affected by hydrodynamic, physical, chemical, and biological processes that are operative in the subsurface environment. Relevant processes were identified, represented in mathematical form, and approximated in a numerical model using the finite element method. The resultant model was validated by comparison to analytical solutions, and literature results for a case of density-dependent flow. The model was then used to simulate ASR operations at two sites: Kerrville, Texas, and Marathon, Florida. Model calibration for a conservative species was used to estimate hydrodynamic dispersion, while model predictions were made for other species and for subsequent cycles of ASR. Good agreement was achieved between the model and field data for a conservative species, while reactive processes were evident for trihalomethane species. The rate of apparent trihalomethane species degradation was directly related to the degree of bromination, which is consistent with expectations based upon previous research.

Communicating to Encourage Private Well Testing: A Systematic Literature Review
Creators: name: Kane, Peter
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Prior research shows that private drinking wells have a higher risk of pollution than regulated public water supplies, but few private well owners test their well at recommended frequencies.  Public health departments frequently use risk communication to encourage well testing; however, little is known about whether these efforts are effective. To examine the empirical evidence about the effectiveness of such risk communications and factors influencing well testing, a systematic literature review was performed. The review identified two prior empirical studies of the effects of risk communication on private well testing.  Both studies found a positive association between exposure to risk communications and rates of private well testing, though only one included a control group.  Twelve studies analyzed factors influencing well testing, the results of which suggest that risk communication can effectively encourage private well testing. However, further research is needed to optimize the content, design, and delivery for such communications.

description: How does an economic downturn relate to preferences for environmental protection of citizens? This question is important, because if these preferences depend on the state of the economy (the “citizens' demand part'' of the Environmental Kuznets' curve), this might explain fluctuations in public demand for environmental public goods and ultimately policy. We inquire whether and how citizens preferences for environmental goods change with an economic downturn. We assess self-reported environmental attitudes and policy preferences. We also use newly developed measures of issue importance, as even if citizens retain a general pro-environmental worldview, they might still show more nuanced changes with respect to current policy priorities. Overall, we contribute to the question of how economic development, post-material values and societal preferences for public good provision are related. We draw on the economic downturn following the Covid-19-Pandemic in Switzerland and survey data from the Swiss Environmental Panel (Rudolph et al. 2020) to test our argument.

We compute outcome probabilities, which do not depend on the graph structure, and consider the expected time until a consensus is reached. In some cases we are able to show that this is minimised by $K_n$. We prove an upper bound for the case $p=0$ and give a family of graphs which asymptotically achieve this bound. In order to obtain the mean of the waiting time we also study a gambler's ruin process with delays. We give the mean absorption time and prove that it monotonically increases with $p\in[0,1/2]$ for symmetric delays.

Uncertainty and Reasonable Assurance: Why We Need to Teach Regulators to Focus on Uncertainty in Risk Assessment and Risk Management
Creators: name: Crook, Anne E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: The rationality of regulatory decisions is inextricably linked to an explicit representation of the uncertainty underlying scientific predictions. The level of coverage of uncertainty in training programs on risk assessment and risk management developed by the EPA is examined in light of the above thesis. Using the EPA's Office Of Drinking Water's Workshops on Assessment and Management of Drinking Water Contamination (EPA, 1988) as an example, concepts for formalizing consideration of uncertainty are presented. A case study on the risks from radon in drinking water is developed to illustrate the recommended level of coverage of uncertainty in EPA training programs.

description: Composers and other artists are sometimes hesitant to comment on their own work. Sometimes this reticence has been due to a belief that the art should "stand by itself'; sometimes the artist feels that it is the job of others to critique his work; at still other times the artist may feel that he is simply unable to verbally articulate anything of importance-even if he feels strongly that there are things he would like to say about the artwork. Nonetheless, innumerable composers and other artists have written about their work, so it seemed especially appropriate, in an issue of Current Musicology in which the articles have been written solely by composers, to review a couple of books that composers have authored. In this issue I am therefore pleased to review two books that I enjoyed reading, and which consist of writings by composers whose music I like very much. In fact, Jonathan Harvey's In Quest of Spirit: Thoughts on Music describes, better than any other book that I have ever read, how I hear music. It is an equally great pleasure to review Give My Regards to Eighth Street: Collected Writings of Morton Feldman, a compilation of writings by a man who was for many years my favorite composer of contemporary Western cultivated music.
Intra-and Inter-Subject Variability of Fit for Full-Face Respirators Using a Quantitative Fit Testing Method
Creators: name: Austin, Meredith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: The way a particular respirator fits is dependent on many factors, including facial structure, tightness of straps on the mask, and amount of facial hair. The fit testing method also adds some variation to the computed overall fit factor. The purpose of this study was to determine if there is an effect on intra- and inter-wearer variability due to having past experience with using a respirator in actual working conditions. Two groups of subjects, one experienced, and one inexperienced in wearing respirators in actual use, were each fit tested three separate times using a condensation nuclei counter quantitative fit testing system (QNFT). The distribution of the overall fit factors for each group was log-normally distributed. The difference in the variances for each group were not statistically significant. For the experienced group, there was an effect due to fit test number. For the inexperienced group, there was not an effect due to fit test number. Out of a test protocol of six exercises, only moving the head side to side and the talking exercise were significantly different from the normal breathing exercise. There are many factors that will affect the variability of a fit; to account for some of this variability, recommended test protocol and worker training issues are discussed.

description: This scoping review aims to identify and collate information on how children’s hospitals and hospitals with paediatric services assess the health needs and health-related social determinants of patients with a health inequalities lens. It will also consider the use of participatory health needs assessments or other similar techniques in a variety of healthcare contexts, as a method for assessing health need. On a broader level, the review may reveal certain themes about healthcare and other health needs of children accessing hospitals that are prevalent on a national and international level.

description: Does ethnic diversity erode the social integration of contemporary mass-scale societies? Continued immigration and corresponding growing ethnic, racial, and religious diversity have prompted this important and highly contentious question. This article gives a brief in-troduction to the scientific literature on this question and derives from it a gap that it seeks to address: According to a small number of studies on related but different topics, ethnic diversity may be particularly detrimental to social integration if it takes shape as one of two specific types of ethnic residential segregation. The contested boundaries hypothesis has it that border regions sandwiched between homogeneous ethnic enclaves are particularly conflict prone and characterized by increased rates of crime. The halo-effect hypothesis claims that people who live in homogenous neighborhoods that border on ethnically di-verse ones (or are even encircled by them) are more likely to vote for right-wing populist parties. In this article, we expand both approaches to the study of social integration in theo-retical and empirical terms. With respect to theory building, we discuss why social integra-tion as indicated by generalized trust should suffer from these two types of ethnic segrega-tion. To test these claims empirically, we use data from the geo-coded German General So-cial Survey (ALLBUS/GGSS) 2016 and 2018 that we merge with 100mX100m spatial grid data from the German Census 2011. These data allow us to apply edge detection tech-niques to identify ethnic residential boundaries, and our recently-developed donut-method to measure ethnic residential halos. Our pre-registered study is the first investigation into the arguably important question whether ethnic residential boundaries and halos erode social integration.

description: Object queries are essential in information seeking and decision making in vast areas of applications. However, a query may involve complex conditions on objects and sets, which can be arbitrarily nested and aliased. The objects and sets involved as well as the demand---the given parameter values of interest---can change arbitrarily. How to implement object queries efficiently under all possible updates, and furthermore to provide complexity guarantees? This paper describes an automatic method. The method allows powerful queries to be written completely declaratively. It transforms demand as well as all objects and sets into relations. Most importantly, it defines invariants for not only the query results, but also all auxiliary values about the objects and sets involved, including those for propagating demand, and incrementally maintains all of them. Implementation and experiments with problems from a variety of application areas, including distributed algorithms and probabilistic queries, confirm the analyzed complexities, trade-offs, and significant improvements over prior work.

description: The emerging Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm separates the data plane from the control plane and centralizes network control in an SDN controller. Applications interact with controllers to implement network services, such as network transport with Quality of Service (QoS). SDN facilitates the virtualization of network functions so that multiple virtual networks can operate over a given installed physical network infrastructure. Due to the specific characteristics of optical (photonic) communication components and the high optical transmission capacities, SDN based optical networking poses particular challenges, but holds also great potential. In this article, we comprehensively survey studies that examine the SDN paradigm in optical networks; in brief, we survey the area of Software Defined Optical Networks (SDONs). We mainly organize the SDON studies into studies focused on the infrastructure layer, the control layer, and the application layer. Moreover, we cover SDON studies focused on network virtualization, as well as SDON studies focused on the orchestration of multilayer and multidomain networking. Based on the survey, we identify open challenges for SDONs and outline future directions.
