description: The missing mass spectroscopy of $Ξ^{-}$ hypernuclei with the $(K^{-},K^{+})$ reaction is planned to be performed at the J-PARC K1.8 beam line by using a new magnetic spectrometer, Strangeness $-2$ Spectrometer (S-2S). A $Č$cerenkov detector with a radiation medium of pure water (refractive index of 1.33) is designed to be used for on-line proton rejection for a momentum range of 1.2 to 1.6 GeV/$c$ in S-2S. Prototype water $Č$erenkov detectors were developed and tested with positron beams and cosmic rays to estimate their proton-rejection capability. We achieved an average number of photoelectrons of greater than 200 with the latest prototype for cosmic rays, which was stable during an expected beam time of one month. The performance of the prototype in the cosmic-ray test was well reproduced with a Monte Carlo simulation in which some input parameters were adjusted. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation, we expect to achieve $>90\%$ proton-rejection efficiency while maintaining $>95\%$ $K^{+}$ survival ratio in the whole S-2S acceptance. The performance satisfies the requirements to conduct the spectroscopic study of $Ξ^{-}$ hypernuclei at J-PARC.

Il est probable qu'ASTM E84 n'a pas encore atteint sa forme définitive et inaltérable.

description: We study the symmetry group properties of the variable coefficient Davey-Stewartson (vcDS) system. The Lie point symmetry algebra with a Kac-Moody-Virasoro (KMV) structure is shown to be isomorphic to that of the usual (constant coefficient) DS system if and only if the coefficients satisfy some conditions. These conditions turn out to coincide with those for the vcDS system to be transformable to the DS system by a point transformation. The equivalence group of the vcDS system is applied to pick out the integrable subsystems from a class of non-integrable ones. Additionally, the full symmetry group of the DS system is derived explicitly without exponentiating its symmetry algebra. Lump solutions (rationally localized in all directions in $\mathbb{R}^2$) introduced by Ozawa for the DS system is shown to hold even for the vcDS system precisely when the system belongs to the integrable class, i.e. equivalent to the DS system. These solutions can be used for establishing exact blow-up solutions in finite time in the space $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ in the focusing case.

A Decision Framework to Assist Local Communities in Managing Troublesome Solid Waste
Creators: name: Hausle, Kenneth J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: Certain solid wastes; tires, batteries, etc. present potential health risks if they are improperly managed. A methodology has been implemented for evaluating available options for managing these materials. Landfilling and incineration are the management options focussed upon but the framework can be expanded to more fully include other options such as recycling and banning. Potential human exposures from each option are compared to risk related health guidelines or standards to determine health risks. A case study evaluates management of polybrominated flame retardant materials in municipal solid waste in Wilmington, N.C. Aerometric and ground water models are utilized for estimating probability related exposures. The aerometric model is driven by a Gaussian plume model, and the migration of toxic material in ground water is estimated from a two dimensional analytical model sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute. Exposure ranges in air, water, and food are developed by assigning probabilities to uncertain input parameters such as stack emission rates and landfill leachate concentrations. The data produced is for illustrative purposes in order to demonstrate the methodology. Frequency versus concentration plots are generated from which levels of exposure derived from different management options can be compared and the option which presents the lowest health risk to the community determined. Consideration is given to the cost of risk reduction to the community in order to implement the management option which poses the least health risk.
Determination of the Mutagenicity of Nitrocabazole and 2-Hydroxynitrocarbazole Compounds Postulated to Occur in Ambient Air
Creators: name: Holloway, Thomas Clemmer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: Nitro derivatives of the heterocyclic compounds carbazole and 2-hydroxycarbazole were synthesized and tested in the Ames plate-incorporation assay in order to evaluate the contribution of these compounds to the mutagenicity of hazardous pollutants in ambient air and cigarette smoke. The results obtained in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 98 found 3,6-dinitrocarbazole to be the most mutagenic derivative, followed by 2-hydroxy-l,3,6-trinitrocarbazole and 2-hydroxy-3-nitrocarbazole. 2-hydroxy-l,3-dinitrocarbazole was moderately active, and 1-nitrocarbazole weakly active, with 1,6-dinitrocarbazole and 3-nitrocarbazole ranging from weakly to moderately active. Carbazole, 2-hydroxycarbazole and 2-hydroxy-l-nitrocarbazole were completely non-mutagenic. These varying activities appear to derive from the different structures of the compounds, mainly the orientation of the nitro group, the presence of the hydroxy group, and the extent of nitro-substitution, as well as from the degree of nitroreduction by the "classical" nitroreductase in Salmonella and by the nitroreductases in the S9 mix, with the oxidases in S9 also possibly playing a role.

description: Plastics are man-made materials based on organic polymers. Plastic articles and structures are made from raw materials called plastic compounds, mixtures containing one or more polymers and various ingredients such as lubricants, stabilizers, fillers, colorants, etc. These are incorporated to improve processing or to change the physical, chemical or electrical properties of the end products. According to the way they react to heat, plastic materials may be classified as thermo-plastics and thermosetting plastics. Articles and structures made from thermoplastic compounds can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened by cooling, and are based on linear or branched polymers. Thermosetting plastic compounds are based on polymers that undergo a chemical reaction during fabrication to form a cross-linked or tridimensional structure that results in a relatively infusible, intractable and insoluble material. Thermosetting materials cannot be reshaped.

Formation of Halogenated Organics During Wastewater Chlorination
Creators: name: Brown, Richard A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1985

description: Wastewater chlorination may reduce the number of pathogens in wastewater effluents and may beneficially impact the microbiological quality of waters receiving these chlorinated discharges. However, there is concern that current wastewater chlorination practices may not be effective in achieving the above goals and may, in fact, produce toxic chlorination by-products that are detrimental to the water quality of the receiving water. Halogenated organic (halo-organic) compounds are one class of wastewater chlorination by-products that are of environmental and public health concern. The formation of halo-organics during drinking water chlorination has been heavily researched, but less research has been devoted to the formation of these compounds during wastewater chlorination. The research described in this report involves an investigation of halo-organic formation during wastewater chlorination in field and laboratory studies. The field studies focused on the formation of halo-organics at several locations after chlorination at three wastewater treatment plants. Total organic halogen (TOX), THMs, and the residual chlorine were monitored at each sample location with samples of unchlorinated wastewater analyzed for organic content and ammonia concentration. Even though the chlorine dose, organic content, and ammonia concentration were different at these facilities, the results were similar. The results showed that TOX was present in the unchlorinated wastewater and that additional TOX was formed immediately after chlorine addition. TOX formation did not increase with increasing contact time. THM formation was not significant at any of the treatment plants. The amount of TOX formed as a result of wastewater chlorination was not significantly greater than the amount of TOX present in the unchlorinated wastewater. The laboratory experiments were conducted in order to investigate the influence of chlorine dose, contact time, initial mixing intensity, and ammonia concentration. At chlorine doses similar to those commonly encountered during wastewater chlorination, TOX formed immediately after chlorine addition, but no additional TOX formation was detected with increasing contact time. TOX and THM formation were sensitive to the ammonia concentration when chlorine-ammonia ratios were greater than 1 mol/mol (above the "hump" of the breakpoint curve), but not when ammonia was in excess (below the "hump").

Male Specific Coliphages as an Indicator of Fecal Contamination of Drinking Waters and as Model Organisms for the Reduction of Viruses by Water Treatment Processes
Creators: name: Handzel, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: This study field-tested a new membrane filter method (MF) for the enumeration of F-specific RNA coliphages in source waters and treated drinking waters to assess the potential use of these organisms as a viral indicator. Simultaneous testing for F-specific coliphage by the Single Agar Layer Method (SAL) as well as for E. coli and enterococci permitted comparisons between the two phage detection methods as well as the evaluation of F-specific coliphages as an indicator of fecal pollution. Mean concentrations of coliphages enumerated by the SAL and MF methods were comparable and correlation analysis resulted in a Pearson's correlation coefficient of 0.85. F-specific phages were reasonably well correlated with both bacterial indicators as well as with the presence or absence of upstream, permitted, wastewater discharges suggesting the usefulness of these coliphages in assessing fecal contamination of natural waters. The reduction of F-specific coliphages by water treatment processes was observed at four drinking water treatment facilities. No phages were detected in any of the treated, or partially treated samples. Coliphage reductions of up to 5 logs were observed with an average reduction of >3.3 log[10]. Source waters were found to contain a mixed population of Somatic Salmonella phages as well as the F-specific coliphages. The presence of these phages interferes with the relationship between the F-specific phages and the human enteric viruses. This study demonstrates the applicability of the membrane filter method to natural waters and the usefulness of F-specific coliphages as an indicator of fecal contamination. Further modifications in the host bacterium may be required to compensate for the interference by somatic Salmonella phages.

Structural Features of Sequential Weak Measurements

description: We discuss the abstract structure of sequential weak measurement (WM) of general observables. In all orders, the sequential WM correlations without post-selection yield the corresponding correlations of the Wigner function, offering direct quantum tomography through the moments of the canonical variables. Spin-half sequential measurements are, on the contrary, constrained kinematically, they are equivalent with single WMs. In sequential WMs with post-selection, a new anomaly occurs, different from the weak value anomaly of single WMs. In particular, the spread of polarization $\hatσ$, as measured in double WMs of $\hatσ$, will diverge for certain orthogonal pre- and post-selected states.

Waterborne Radon-222 Determination Employing Alpha Spectrum Analysis on a Liquid Scintillation Counter
Creators: name: Baker, Todd W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: Currently, several methods or variations upon a single method exist for [222]Rn detection in aqueous solutions, the most common being an adaptation of the Prichard and Gesell method employing liquid scintillation techniques. In this method, a calibration factor (CPM/pCi) is developed for each analysis run using the total net counts from a large number of channels of a liquid scintillation counter's multi-channel analyzer without truly discriminating between alpha and beta particle spectra. A process to either discriminate between energies or types of radiation may provide a way to lower the background and thereby decrease the lower limit of detection. Such a process may also serve to eliminate the possibility of error if the sample contains other radionuclides. Technically, a method for alpha and beta particle discrimination in liquid scintillation counting has existed for years, but until 1990, such a method was not incorporated into any commercially available liquid scintillation machines. The method for alpha and beta particle discrimination relies upon the fact that electronic pulses which originate from alpha particle interactions have a different characteristic shape than electronic pulses which originate from beta particle interactions. Therefore, pulse-shape discrimination allows differentiation between alpha and beta particles. Subsequent multi-channel analyzer display of the collected alpha pulses alone allows energy spectral resolution of the alpha particles. With respect to the application to waterbome [222]Rn determination, the following determinations were made. [1] Using alpha spectral analysis techniques, experimentally determined concentrations of [222]Rn in water agreed with the expected control concentrations with uncertainties of less than 20 per cent even for low level samples at or near the proposed maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 300 pCi/L when these samples were analyzed within 36 hours of collection. [2] If a four day delay between sampling and analysis is assumed, the lower limit of detection using the alpha spectral analysis technique was 29 pCi/L. [3] The full-width, half-maximum of the 7.68 MeV[2l4]Po alpha peak was 75 KeV on an energy scale calibrated from 0 KeV to 2000 KeV with unquenched [3]H and [14]C standards.

description: As part of the EOSC project family the FAIRsFAIR - Fostering Fair Data Practices in Europe - project aims to supply practical solutions for the use of the FAIR data principles throughout the research data life cycle. The FAIRsFAIR project runs from March 2019-February 2022. Policies are a crucial component in the FAIR ecosystem. To this end, FAIRsFAIR Work Package 3 (WP3): FAIR Data Policy and Practice carried out an analysis of the current data policy landscape at various levels (national, funder, publisher, institutional) to provide a snapshot of the situation in 2019 and to identify policy elements that support or hinder FAIR data practice. To provide a comparative baseline for reviewing the data policies of various stakeholders, the priority and supporting actions presented in the Turning FAIR into Reality (TFiR) action plan were employed. To assess how well the policies of different stakeholders currently reflect TFiR’s action plan, we carried out desk research to characterise policies, undertook an analysis of
 responses to an open consultation, and conducted a small number of interviews. This report presents the findings of these landscape assessment activities and provides an evidence base for FAIRsFAIR to build upon as work begins to define a set of practical recommendations to support policy enhancement (D3.3). Landscaping activities have been a core activity during the initial stages of the FAIRsFAIR project and there has been close cooperation with colleagues in Work Package 3 carrying out the FAIR data policy and practice analyses; Work Package 2 on assessing FAIR requirements for interoperability and persistence; Work Package 6 on providing an overview of research communities’ needs for competence centres; and Work Package 7 on mapping RDM policies and support as well as FAIR education offerings in European HEIs. In particular, efforts were made to avoid duplication of effort across the three open consultation and survey instruments developed to assess the current landscape and to define a consistent approach to presenting our findings.

Environmental Air Monitoring of Tritiated Water Vapor from Incinerator Emissions-Conducted for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
Creators: name: Carr, Steven J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1998

description: Sampling and analysis was performed on ambient air potentially contaminated with tritiated water vapor from incinerator stack emissions. A sampler designedfor monitoring tritium was modified for monitoring brief sampling periods during 1-2 day long incinerator operations. Modeling indicated that the sampler potentially can detect tritium emissions from the incinerator stack when the wind is blowing directly towards the sampler (± 8°) and the maximum allowable concentration is being released. Under these conditions, a worker near the point of sampling for a whole year could potentially receive .1% of the occupational dose limit or 2.5% of the general public dose limit. Since the wind conditions vary significantly and the maximum concentration is not continuously released, actual dosage would be much less. The results from actual sampling events indicated that the sampling/analysis system was not sensitive enough to detect ambient air concentrations. Although the sampling results were below detection limits, an extraction procedure was developed which may be utilized in other applications where airborne tritium concentrations are higher.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We give a comprehensive study from flavor observables of pion, kaon, D_(s), and B_(s) mesons for limiting the Two Higgs Doublet Models (2HDMs) with natural flavor conservation, namely, Z_2 symmetric and aligned type of models. With use of the updated studies and analyses of B -> tau nu, D -> mu nu, D_s -> tau nu, D_s -> mu nu, K -> mu nu, Pi -> mu nu, B^0_s -> mu^+ mu^-, B^0_d -> mu^+ mu^-, tau -> K nu, tau -> Pi nu, B -> X_s gamma, K-K bar mixing, B^0_d-B^0_d bar mixing, and B^0_s-B^0_s bar mixing, we obtain constraints on the parameters in the 2HDMs. To calculate the constraints, we pay attention to a determination of CKM matrix elements and re-fit them to experimental data so that new contributions from additional Higgs bosons do not affect the determination. In addition, we discuss excesses of observables in the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the semi-tauonic B meson decays in the context of the 2HDM.

A Survey and Assessment of Drought Contingency Plans in the Southeastern United States
Creators: name: Lawler, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: Water utilities in the southeastern United States were surveyed to identify those utilities that were affected by the drought of 1986 to such an extent that their normal operations were modified and to identify utilities that have drought contingency plans. Case studies of four of these utilities were performed to examine the criteria local governments use for invoking demand and supply management techniques during droughts. Literature was reviewed to determine the available criteria and techniques used in drought management. Several utilities had to modify normal operations without the aid of drought contingency plans. Utilities often use generic ordinances with little or no technical bases to implement demand and supply management techniques. Criteria used for decision making include: engineering judgment, risk analysis, reservoir drawdown and the Palmer Drought Severity Index.

description: Tight triangulations are exotic, but highly regular objects in combinatorial topology. A triangulation is tight if all its piecewise linear embeddings into a Euclidean space are as convex as allowed by the topology of the underlying manifold. Tight triangulations are conjectured to be strongly minimal, and proven to be so for dimensions $\leq 3$. However, in spite of substantial theoretical results about such triangulations, there are precious few examples. In fact, apart from dimension two, we do not know if there are infinitely many of them in any given dimension. In this paper, we present a computer-friendly combinatorial scheme to obtain tight triangulations, and present new examples in dimensions three, four and five. Furthermore, we describe a family of tight triangulated $d$-manifolds, with $2^{d-1} \lfloor d / 2 \rfloor ! \lfloor (d-1) / 2 \rfloor !$ isomorphically distinct members for each dimension $d \geq 2$. While we still do not know if there are infinitely many tight triangulations in a fixed dimension $d > 2$, this result shows that there are abundantly many.

description: Les deux feuilles de verre vitrages doubles scellés en usine sont exposés aux bris thermique. La vitre extérieure subit d'importantes tensions d'origine thermique lorsque la radiation solaire atteint, par temps froid, le double vitrage scellé. La possibilité de bris est même plus élevée pour les ensembles dont les vitres extérieures consistent en vitres absorbant ou réfléchissant la chaleur que dans le cas des vitrages doubles possédant des glaces extérieurs transparents. La vitre intérieure est soumis à une tension thermique élevée lorsque la température de l'air extérieur est très basse, et que le double vitrage subit un chauffage localisé. La possibilité de bris de la vitre intérieure est plus grande, dans le cas des vitrages doubles réfléchissant la chaleur et présentant une faible valeur U, que dans le cas des éléments transparents absorbant ou réfléchissant la chaleur avec pouvoir émissif élevé. Les valeurs mesurées et calculées des tensions thermiques relatives aux vitres intérieures et extérieures des vitrages doubles scellés indiquent que la tension thermique ne saurait, à elle seule, produire des bris de vitre. On n'observe de nombreux cas de bris que si la tension thermique s'accroît du fait d'autres contraintes de traction ou si l'on utilise du verre fragile ou endommagé. En l'absence d'une méthode sûre permettant de calculer la probabilité de bris thermique des vitrages doubles scellés, il convient d'utiliser au mieux, au stade des plans, tous les facteurs susceptibles de réduire les risques de bris. Il en est particulièrement ainsi dans le cas des doubles vitrages munis de vitres qui absorbent ou réfléchissent la chaleur.
