Evaluating Wetland Function Using Geographic Information Systems: A Method for Land-Use Planning
Creators: name: Bearden, Benjamin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Wetlands provide numerous benefits for natural and man-made environments. They help filter out pollutants from stormwater runoff, provide buffering capabilities against flooding, and provide a diverse ecosystem in which certain plants and animals thrive. Because of their ecological importance, the ability to evaluate the quality of a wetland is critical in order to protect, restore, and manage wetlands. Traditionally, wetland assessments have primarily involved field-based evaluation methods. However, certain elements of a wetland evaluation can be determined off-site, prior to an in-field evaluation. For this project, I use Geographic Information System (GIS) software to perform certain wetland evaluation elements for the purpose of improving the evaluation process. Specifically, I use readily available GIS data as a basis for determining certain indicators of the value of a wetland. The analysis is not intended to fully replace field evaluation techniques; a "hands-on" field evaluation of a particular wetland can reveal crucial details that would likely be overlooked in a strictly GIS-based evaluation. Instead, I outline a method that a land-use planner could use in a preliminary wetland evaluation for the purpose of making insightful decisions concerning where future development should occur and where it should be avoided.

description: Reflected light curves observed for exoplanets indicate bright clouds at some of them. We estimate how the light curve and total stellar heating of a planet depend on forward and backward scattering in the clouds based on Pioneer and Cassini spacecraft images of Jupiter and Saturn. We fit analytical functions to the local reflected brightnesses of Jupiter and Saturn depending on the planet's phase. These observations cover broad bands at 0.59-0.72 and 0.39-0.5 μm, and narrow bands at 0.938 (atmospheric window), 0.889 (CH4 absorption band), and 0.24-0.28 μm. We simulate the images of the planets with a ray-tracing model, and disk-integrate them to produce the full-orbit light curves. For Jupiter, we also fit the modeled light curves to the observed full-disk brightness. We derive spherical albedos for Jupiter, Saturn, and for planets with Lambertian and Rayleigh-scattering atmospheres. Jupiter-like atmospheres can produce light curves that are a factor of two fainter at half-phase than the Lambertian planet, given the same geometric albedo at transit. The spherical albedo is typically lower than for a Lambertian planet by up to a factor of 1.5. The Lambertian assumption will underestimate the absorption of the stellar light and the equilibrium temperature of the planetary atmosphere. We also compare our light curves with the light curves of solid bodies: the moons Enceladus and Callisto. Their strong backscattering peak within a few degrees of opposition (secondary eclipse) can lead to an even stronger underestimate of the stellar heating.

Plan evaluation and monitoring in ten U.S. cities, and an assay of land use and transportation integration indicators
Creators: name: Campbell, Amanda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Plan evaluation and monitoring is often determined to be an under-developed step in the planning process. There is an extensive literature on the theory behind effective plan evaluation and monitoring, including the use of indicators. However, there is a need to research more closely how city planners are currently conducting plan evaluation and monitoring âon the ground'. This paper's background consists of a literature review of plan evaluation and monitoring, and the general use of indicators. Methods of examination of current practices include three parts: 1) a review of indicators that examine the integration of land use and transportation, and an examination of the current practices in ten United States cities consisting of 2) a review of procedures and documents related to plan evaluation and monitoring that are evident from city government websites, and 3) a telephone interview with a senior level planner. Results for part 1 include a list of practical indicators for land use and transportation. Part 2 and 3 show a wide variety of practices in plan evaluation and monitoring, and interviews revealed many recommendations to planners as they improve or develop plan monitoring and evaluation programs. Practices range from annual reports, to plan consistency reviews during ordinance updates, to indicator monitoring from a department outside the planning department, and many more. Recommendations include designing plans with the aim of monitoring in mind, and the importance of choosing a few critical things to measure rather than an intensive and comprehensive data analysis approach, and many more. This paper points to the need for further research on the relative effectiveness of various approaches under different circumstances, and further surveys of plan evaluation and monitoring at different scales and different types of cities.

Uncharted Territory: A Case Study of Rental Assistance Demonstration Program Implementation in Durham, North Carolina
Creators: name: Hoffmann, Carly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: In 2012, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) launched the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), which was designed to address the estimated $25.6 billion in capital improvement needs of the nation’s public housing stock. Through the RAD program, public housing authorities (PHAs) can apply to convert public housing units to project-based Section 8 housing, which allows them to leverage private and public funding to be used for repairs or redevelopment. HUD reports that more than $4 billion in funding from outside sources has been invested in public housing through RAD, as of May 2017. Given its high-profile political support, as well as its role in addressing the critical issue of public housing deterioration, RAD will be an important federal housing program in the years to come. However, some housing authorities, including the Durham Housing Authority (DHA), have struggled to secure financing and complete the RAD conversion process, causing costly delays. This report provides an overview of the RAD financing and implementation process, as well as an analysis of the experiences of the Durham Housing Authority in converting its entire portfolio to RAD. My research reveals critical challenges faced by DHA related to securing financing, developing an implementation strategy, and internally managing the complex process of RAD conversion, which I explore in detail. Since RAD is relatively young, the body of academic scholarship on the program is limited. This study aims to extend our understanding of the challenges of implementing RAD, particularly focusing on the consequences of the novel aspect of the program: the freedom it allows PHAs to implement mixed-finance strategies.

description: Competition between ordered phases, and their associated phase transitions, are significant in the study of strongly correlated systems. Here we examine one aspect, the nonequilibrium dynamics of a photoexcited Mott-Peierls system, using an effective Peierls-Hubbard model and exact diagonalization. Near a transition where spin and charge become strongly intertwined, we observe anti-phase dynamics and a coupling-strength-dependent suppression or enhancement in the static structure factors. The renormalized bosonic excitations coupled to a particular photoexcited electron can be extracted, which provides an approach for characterizing the underlying bosonic modes. The results from this analysis for different electronic momenta show an uneven softening due to a stronger coupling near $k_F$. This behavior reflects the strong link between the fermionic momenta, the coupling vertices, and ultimately the bosonic susceptibilities when multiple phases compete for the ground state of the system.

description: We report the temperature $T$ and magnetic field $H$ dependence of the thermopower $S$ of an itinerant triangular antiferromagnet PdCrO$_2$ in high magnetic fields up to 32 T. In the paramagnetic phase, the zero-field thermopower is positive with a value typical of good metals with a high carrier density. In marked contrast to typical metals, however, $S$ decreases rapidly with increasing magnetic field, approaching zero at the maximum field scale for $T >$ 70 K. We argue here that this profound change in the thermoelectric response derives from the strong interaction of the 4$d$ correlated electrons of the Pd ions with the short-range spin correlations of the Cr$^{3+}$ spins that persist beyond the Néel ordering temperature due to the combined effects of geometrical frustration and low dimensionality.

description: A sizable contribution to heavy quark production in high-energy hadronic and nuclear collisions comes from heavy quark-antiquark pair production from gluon splitting during the parton shower evolution. We investigate the effect of gluon-medium interaction on open heavy flavor spectra in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The interaction of hard gluons and heavy quarks with the hot QCD medium is simulated by utilizing a Langevin transport model that simultaneously incorporates contributions from collisional and radiative processes. It is found that while the gluon splitting channel has quite an important contribution to the single $D$ meson production cross section, its influence on the final heavy meson nuclear modification turns out to be quite modest because the average lifetime of hard gluons is short before splitting into heavy quark-antiquark pairs during the evolution and propagation of the parton shower.

description: In two studies (total N = 829), we assessed civilian implicit associations with police using four modified Implicit Association Tests (IAT; Greenwald et al., 1998). Across studies and IATs, individuals harbored stronger negative implicit associations (associating police with fear/bad) than positive implicit associations (associating police with safety/good). The predictive validity of the implicit associations and magnitude of D scores varied across IAT. In Study 1, the IATs involving categorization of police-related (vs. everyday) symbols were most sensitive, but the versions involving categorization of police (vs. civilian) models provided more evidence for predictive validity. In Study 2, the IAT involving categorization of emotional words (safety/fear) was most sensitive, but the version involving categorization of evaluative words (good/bad) provided more evidence for predictive validity. In both studies, we also assessed individual differences (race, political affiliation) in implicit associations. The findings prompt the need to further examine the underlying cognitive components of civilian attitudes toward police and emphasize the importance of developing several IATs when assessing implicit attitudes.
The influence of federal housing policy on crime in Durham, North Carolina
Creators: name: Neuman, Katharine E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: One of the primary purposes of federally sponsored housing developments is to reduce community crime and blight. For decades, federally initiated housing programs failed to provide residents with safe, affordable, and quality housing. Recent initiatives focus on demolishing and reconstructing the failed government housing projects around the nation, in an attempt to use improved urban design principles, stricter resident screening, and community/policing initiatives to create safer and more sustainable housing complexes. Using geographic analysis, spatial statistics, and interviews, this study examines the impact of new federal housing policies on crime trends in one of the most historically distressed cities in the country, Durham, North Carolina. Results indicate that although the HOPE VI development area experienced a significant reduction of crime after demolition/reconstruction, few of the original residents benefited from the HOPE VI development. In addition, new hotspots of violent crime simultaneously developed further from the revitalization area. Qualitative data, in the form of surveys, and quantitative analysis demonstrate the potential benefits of current federal housing programs. With a more comprehensive approach to federal housing initiatives, more sustainable programs can be designed in order to develop strategies to facilitate a community-wide impact.

These are the classical Markov processes corresponding to the noncommutative $q$-Gaussian processes. These processes have discontinuous sample paths, and the local small jumps are characterized by tangent processes. It is shown that for all $q\in(-1,1)$, the tangent processes at inner domain are scaled Cauchy processes possibly with drifts, and the tangent processes at the boundary of the domain are related to the free $1/2$-stable law via Biane's construction.

description: We study the distribution and evolution of highly ionised intergalactic metals in the Evolution and Assembly of Galaxies and their Environment (EAGLE) cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations. EAGLE has been shown to reproduce a wide range of galaxy properties while its subgrid feedback was calibrated without considering gas properties. We compare the predictions for the column density distribution functions (CDDFs) and cosmic densities of SiIV, CIV, NV, OVI and NeVIII absorbers with observations at redshift z = 0 to ~ 6 and find reasonable agreement, although there are some differences. We show that the typical physical densities of the absorbing gas increase with column density and redshift, but decrease with the ionization energy of the absorbing ion. The typical metallicity increases with both column density and time. The fraction of collisionally ionized metal absorbers increases with time and ionization energy. While our results show little sensitivity to the presence or absence of AGN feedback, increasing/decreasing the efficiency of stellar feedback by a factor of two substantially decreases/increases the CDDFs and the cosmic densities of the metal ions. We show that the impact of the efficiency of stellar feedback on the CDDFs and cosmic densities is largely due to its effect on the metal production rate. However, the temperatures of the metal absorbers, particularly those of strong OVI, are directly sensitive to the strength of the feedback.

Proposed Amendments to Section 8.3 Off-Street Parking and Loading of the Apex, NC Unified Development Ordinance
Creators: name: Shouse, Jenna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: The purposes of these amendments are to: (1) update the off-street parking and loading requirements to present-day standards; (2) provide clarity and completeness for situations where the UDO is silent or unclear; and (3) consider updates to prepare for trends in design, technologies, and multi-modal travel. The proposed amendments have been designed to reduce excessive parking, promote the use of alternative modes of transportation, and contribute to vibrant streetscapes. A parking supply that exceeds demand can have significant implications on the natural and built environment, resulting in increased stormwater runoff, heat island effect, loss of habitat, and an unpleasant environment for members of the community. Too little parking can impact economic development, traffic movement, and aesthetics. In addition, parking requirements can affect housing affordability and site design. The proposed amendments address: reduced parking minimums, tiered parking maximums, modern design standards, bicycle parking requirements, parking structure requirements with electric vehicle spaces, on-street parking, shared parking, and park-and-ride spaces.

description: We examine the adiabatic preparation of crystalline phases of Rydberg excitations in a one-dimensional lattice gas by frequency sweep of the excitation laser, as proposed by Pohl et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 043002 (2010)] and recently realized experimentally by Schauß et al. [Science 347, 1455 (2015)]. We find that the preparation of crystals of a few Rydberg excitations in a unitary system of several tens of atoms requires exceedingly long times for the adiabatic following of the ground state of the system Hamiltonian. Using quantum stochastic (Monte-Carlo) wavefunction simulations, we show that realistic decay and dephasing processes affecting the atoms during the preparation lead to a final state of the system that has only a small overlap with the target crystalline state. Yet, the final number and highly sub-Poissonian statistics of Rydberg excitations and their spatial order are little affected by the relaxations.

description: Within the framework of augmented version of superfield formalism, we derive the superspace unitary operator and show its usefulness in the derivation of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations for a set of interesting models for the Abelian 1-form gauge theories. These models are (i) a one (0+1)-dimensional (1D) toy model of a rigid rotor, (ii) the two (1+1)-dimensional (2D) modified versions of the Proca and anomalous Abelian 1-form gauge theories, and (iii) the 2D self-dual bosonic gauge field theory. We provide, in some sense, the alternatives to the horizontality condition (HC) and the gauge invariant restrictions (GIRs) in the language of the above superspace (SUSP) unitary operator. One of the key observations of our present endeavor is the result that the SUSP unitary operator and its hermitian conjugate are found to be the same for all the Abelian models under consideration (including the 4D interacting Abelian 1-form gauge theories with Dirac and complex scalar fields which have been discussed earlier). Thus, we establish the universality of the SUSP operator for the above Abelian theories.

description: As breaking news unfolds people increasingly rely on social media to stay abreast of the latest updates. The use of social media in such situations comes with the caveat that new information being released piecemeal may encourage rumours, many of which remain unverified long after their point of release. Little is known, however, about the dynamics of the life cycle of a social media rumour. In this paper we present a methodology that has enabled us to collect, identify and annotate a dataset of 330 rumour threads (4,842 tweets) associated with 9 newsworthy events. We analyse this dataset to understand how users spread, support, or deny rumours that are later proven true or false, by distinguishing two levels of status in a rumour life cycle i.e., before and after its veracity status is resolved. The identification of rumours associated with each event, as well as the tweet that resolved each rumour as true or false, was performed by a team of journalists who tracked the events in real time. Our study shows that rumours that are ultimately proven true tend to be resolved faster than those that turn out to be false. Whilst one can readily see users denying rumours once they have been debunked, users appear to be less capable of distinguishing true from false rumours when their veracity remains in question. In fact, we show that the prevalent tendency for users is to support every unverified rumour. We also analyse the role of different types of users, finding that highly reputable users such as news organisations endeavour to post well-grounded statements, which appear to be certain and accompanied by evidence. Nevertheless, these often prove to be unverified pieces of information that give rise to false rumours. Our study reinforces the need for developing robust machine learning techniques that can provide assistance for assessing the veracity of rumours.

description: We investigate theoretically the effects of vacuum-induced coherence (VIC) on magneto-optical rotation (MOR). We carry out a model study to show that VIC in the presence of a control laser and a magnetic field can lead to large enhancement in the rotation of the plane of polarization of a linearly polarized weak laser with vanishing circular dichroism. This effect can be realized in cold molecular gases and may be used as a sensitive probe for VIC. Such a large MOR angle can also be used to detect weak magnetic field with large measurement sensitivity.

description: We introduce a novel Entropy-driven Monte Carlo (EdMC) strategy to efficiently sample solutions of random Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). First, we extend a recent result that, using a large-deviation analysis, shows that the geometry of the space of solutions of the Binary Perceptron Learning Problem (a prototypical CSP), contains regions of very high-density of solutions. Despite being sub-dominant, these regions can be found by optimizing a local entropy measure. Building on these results, we construct a fast solver that relies exclusively on a local entropy estimate, and can be applied to general CSPs. We describe its performance not only for the Perceptron Learning Problem but also for the random $K$-Satisfiabilty Problem (another prototypical CSP with a radically different structure), and show numerically that a simple zero-temperature Metropolis search in the smooth local entropy landscape can reach sub-dominant clusters of optimal solutions in a small number of steps, while standard Simulated Annealing either requires extremely long cooling procedures or just fails. We also discuss how the EdMC can heuristically be made even more efficient for the cases we studied.

Water quality sensors

description: Drinking Water Distribution Systems (DWDSs) are lifeline infrastructure with significant impacts on public health. While water quality is highly controlled and monitored at sources and treatment plants, monitoring in DWDSs is very sparse. In tandem, urban water systems are seeing an uptake in the use of advanced sensing technology enabling a shift towards automatic sense-and-respond capabilities. As the adoption of distributed online sensing tools continues to grow, a primary motivation of this work is to develop insights and tangible outcomes for utilizing and extracting actionable information from online sensors deployed. Already, there is an abundance of algorithms for the identification of recurring patterns and anomalies from continuously generated time series data. However, these were not originally developed for the purpose of water quality monitoring, which requires a balance of reliability and sensitivity at scale in real-time. Therefore, further evaluation is needed to ascertain the suitability of existing methods applied to monitoring in DWDSs. The proposed methodology in this study consists of the following main steps: (1) Experimental setup, in which the sensors and data collection procedures are first described. (2) Offline data analysis, in which a time series clustering approach is applied to automate the representation of sensor data and identify characteristic patterns. (3) Online data analysis, where previously unseen data is matched to the characteristic patterns identified during the offline step to classify if the new data reflects characteristic patterns or is anomalous. (4) Online drift detection, where a cumulative sum approach is then applied to the reduced representation of the data for automated drift detection. A workflow is then proposed to incorporate new data, flag, and review anomalous conditions within DWDSs. Results indicate that time series clustering, in combination with cumulative sum, shows promise as an ensemble of methods for automatic drift detection in real-time with minimal complexity.
Le chamanisme chez Jovette Marchessault

description: Artiste autodidacte, Jovette Marchessault a touché aux arts visuels avant de devenir auteure. En grande féministe, ses œuvres témoignent de ses idéologies et leur expression s’est approfondie et complexifiée au fil des années. Par cette recherche, nous avons souhaité démontrer l’hypothèse que Jovette Marchessault a eu recours à des techniques chamaniques et à un processus chamanologique afin de réhabiliter le féminin dans la société, cette réhabilitation du féminin devenant la quête chamanique de Marchessault. La dramaturge remonte à l’origine de son art à la recherche des traces de ces femmes auteures et créatrices et assure la transmission de leur mémoire. L’analyse dramaturgique de ses œuvres nous montre comment elles répondent à la logique chamanique et comment le chamanisme accepte la modernité et peut s’exprimer artistiquement. Une seconde hypothèse a été formulée selon laquelle la quête chamanique de Marchessault s’est poursuivie à travers le mysticisme. L’un des résultats de notre démarche est le développement d’une pratique artistique personnelle et d’une méthodologie chamanologique. Par l’expérience personnelle au sein d’un cercle de femmes initiées au chamanisme, cette recherche est devenue une initiation chamanique.

On tadpole relations via Verdier specialization

description: Using the construct of "Verdier specialization", we provide a purely mathematical derivation of Chern class identities which upon integration yield the D3-brane tadpole relations coming from the equivalence between F-theory and associated weakly coupled type IIB orientifold limits. In particular, we find that all Chern class identities associated with weak coupling limits appearing in the physics literature are manifestations of a relative version of Verdier's specialization formula.

The Role of Social Policy in Reducing Poverty in Three Canadian Provinces from 1999 to 2014

description: This correlational study uses quantitative data as well as qualitative document and policy analysis to consider the role that social policy has played in achieving poverty reduction in Canada’s provinces since 1999. Because social policy is only one among many factors influencing poverty and a social protection system consists of many programs, this research seeks to identify those factors, including social policies and/or social policy changes, which are most likely to have influenced poverty. This research finds that social policy and economic factors influenced poverty rates and trends over this period, albeit inconsistently across demographic groups and jurisdictions. The analysis suggests that it is very likely that social policy reduced poverty among families with children in Quebec and Ontario over this period. In contrast, social policy has become increasingly ineffective at reducing poverty among unattached adults in terms of both incidence (poverty rate) and depth (poverty gap). Finally, the evidence suggests that economic factors likely played an important role in reducing poverty in British Columbia and, to a lesser extent, in Quebec, but likely did not contribute to poverty reduction in Ontario. This research demonstrates the need for additional comparative research on how social policy and its evolution influence poverty rates at the provincial and demographic levels. To support such research (and evidence-based policymaking), this research also shows that there is a need for provincial and federal governments to collect and publish data on social programs and beneficiaries. Finally, the findings demonstrate the need for additional social programming aimed at preventing and relieving poverty among unattached adults who have seen very little improvement in their poverty risk over the past 15 years.
