Atlanta and the Olympics: The Case for Comprehensive Planning
Creators: name: Eplan, Leon S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: In a matter of a few weeks, the City of Atlanta will host the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. This will be only the fourth time since the modern Olympiad movement was launched that the event has been held in an American cit.y St. Louis held the competition in 1904, and Los Angeles was host in 1932 and 1984. Large-scale events such as the Olympics, world's fairs, and international exhibitions and festivals often have a lasting impact on a city. As such, they are of special interest to urban planners. For example, the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 significantly shaped the future of that city, as did gatherings in Seattle and St. Louis. On the other hand, Los Angeles has not been greatly affected by its two Olympic events. Atlanta determined at the outset that it would use the event to prepare itself for the roles it seeks to play in the 21st century. In a July 1992 publication entitled Atlanta 's Olympic Development Program, the city presented its program for preparing itself for the event to the meeting of the International Olympic Committee in Barcelona, spelling out the projects it would undertake set within a framework of its vision of a 21st century metropolis. 0ver the past four years, the city has endeavored to implement this program. Now, after years of feverish efforts, it is assured that when the Olympics end on August 4, Atlanta will be a significantly changed community. More importantly, the changes undertaken will direct the city towards its chosen future. The way Atlanta set out to use the Olympics to shape its future provides a rare opportunity for examining how the techniques and practices of urban planning can be applied to a mature city to successfully achieve a long-term vision.

description: Recent experimental advances [Liu et al., npj 2D Mater. Appl., 2019, 3, 23] propose the design of graphene nanoribbon springs (GNRSs) to substantially enhance the stretchability of pristine graphene. A GNRS is a periodic undulating graphene nanoribbon, where undulations are of sinus or half-circle or horseshoe shapes. Besides this, the GNRS geometry depends on design parameters, like the pitch's length and amplitude, thickness and joining angle. Because of the fact that parametric influence on the resulting physical properties is expensive and complicated to examine experimentally, we explore the mechanical, thermal and electromechanical properties of GNRSs using molecular dynamics simulations. Our results demonstrate that the horseshoe shape design GNRS (GNRH) can distinctly outperform the graphene kirigami design concerning the stretchability. The thermal conductivity of GNRSs was also examined by developing a multiscale modeling, which suggests that the thermal transport along these nanostructures can be effectively tuned. We found that however, the tensile stretching of the GNRS and GNRH does not yield any piezoelectric polarization. The bending induced hybridization change results in a flexoelectric polarization, where the corresponding flexoelectric coefficient is 25% higher than that of graphene. Our results provide a comprehensive vision of the critical physical properties of GNRSs and may help to employ the outstanding physics of graphene to design novel stretchable nanodevices. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
A Disaster Relief and Quality Improvement Loan and Grant Program for Childcare Providers

description: In September of 1999. Eastern North Carolina experienced a natural disaster of epic proportions. Flooding as a result of Hurricanes Dennis, Floyd and Irene left entire towns under water. And now, even after the floodwaters have receded, the effects of the disaster are expected to linger for years to come. Unfortunately, it appears that federal funds for disaster relief will not be as much as originally hoped — the total package will only reach $800 million, far from the $1.76 billion which North Carolina elected officials determined was necessary to meet the needs of communities in the East. An example of this shortfall is that an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 flood-affected small businesses and non-profits will not be served by Federal Emergency Management Agency or Small Business Association disaster assistance, which will leave at least a $25 million gap in funding. In addition, the federal relief package failed to include $2 1 million to address child care needs that the governor of North Carolina originally requested.

description: The most typical way to optically control population of atomic and molecular systems is to illuminate them with radiation, resonant to the relevant transitions. Here we consider a possibility to control populations with the subcycle and even unipolar pulses, containing less than one oscillation of electric field. Despite the spectrum of such pulses covers several levels at once, we show that it is possible to selectively excite the levels of our choice by varying the driving pulse shape, duration or time delay between consecutive pulses. The pulses which are not unipolar, but have a peak of electric field of one polarity much higher (and shorter) than of the opposite one, are also capable for such control. © 2020 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement

description: Initial core "pioneers" in greenfield industrial districts tend to develop crucial supplier networks around them, leading an unusual set of private and public incentives. Highlighting findings from previous research, empirical evidence from the Kentucky Toyota plant suggests that a core plant will spark the formation of a sharable supply network, differentiated by criticalness of parts, distance from plant, and timing of establishment. However, these links may result in skewed private and public incentives, which are modeled in a game-theoretic framework. If left to market solutions, potentially significant intra- and inter-regional market failures may emerge, leading to potential justification for planning intervention.
The Effects of Organizational Culture on Strategic Marketing Planning at Universities
Creators: name: Sporn, Barbara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1993

description: Universities face an increasing complexity in their social and economic environment. Student demand is growing while state resources are shrinking. Marketing a university in order to attract students and running fund-raising campaigns is becoming more and more important. An external focus of the university members is necessary to adapt to these changes. The concept of university culture used in this work emphasizes the values and beliefs of university members, which are developed in a historical process and transmitted by language or symbols (Deal and Kennedy, 1992). They strongly influence the decision making in universities (Sporn, 1992). Strategic marketing planning is the process of defining the direction of an institution by focusing on goals, resources, markets and changing opportunities (Kotler and Fox, 1985). From a management perspective, strategic marketing can be seen as leadership concentrated on external exchange of services (Raffee, 1989; Bruhn and Tilmes, 1989). Organizational culture is essential in the process of setting goals and defining a mission. Achieving a fit between strategy and culture is a key to the successful implementation of a marketing perspective inside universities.

description: Abstract Research has consistently demonstrated that testing prior to the presentation of misleading post-event information, within the context of a standard eyewitness misinformation paradigm, results in an increase in the misinformation effect. The present study investigated whether changes in misinformation susceptibility in the context of interim testing are affected by retention interval differences between misinformation presentation and final testing. Further, this study tested possible divergences in original and post-event learning between conditions where elaboration in processing of critical details was encouraged either indirectly, via interim testing, or directly, by visually emphasizing critical details. In two experiments, we compared three groups of participants. All participants were exposed to an event, presented with misleading post-event misinformation, and then given a final test on the original event. One group was given an interim test between the original event and the post-event synopsis. A second was presented with a post-event synopsis in which critical details were visually emphasized. A third group served as a baseline comparison group for which synopsis processing was not manipulated. All experimental phases occurred in a single session in Experiment 1. A 48-hour retention interval was inserted between the post-event synopsis and final test in Experiment 2. In Experiment 1, we found that interim testing and emphasizing critical details increased misinformation susceptibility as compared to that found in the standard misinformation group. In Experiment 2, misinformation susceptibility was reduced in the interim testing group. These results suggest that interim testing and emphasizing critical details influence the rate of original detail forgetting. At a longer retention interval, the benefits of testing in learning emerged.

description: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a crucial business practice worldwide. This paper analyzes CSR themes collected from the official websites of the Asian and European corporations on the Fortune 500 list. While there is existing research comparing the CSR themes from different companies, no comparative analysis of the top companies from Europe and Asia, which has adopted content analysis focusing on company website, is publicly available as of Spring 2022. The aim of this research is to discover the popular themes among the top companies, interpret how they define CSR, and pinpoint meaningful connections between location, profits, size, and CSR themes. Analyses of 179 Asian and 159 European companies from the CNN Fortune Global list show that most companies call their CSR efforts sustainability. In addition, European companies have more CSR themes than Asian companies and are more likely to prioritize themes related to diversity and the environment. As the company's size increases, the number of CSR themes decreases. As a company's profit range increases, the number of CSR themes on its website decreases, though it is not a strong relationship.

description: Secure orchestration is an important concern in the internet of service. Next to providing the required functionality the composite services must also provide a reasonable level of security in order to protect sensitive data. Thus, the orchestrator has a need to check whether the complex service is able to satisfy certain properties. Some properties are expressed with metrics for precise definition of requirements. Thus, the problem is to analyse the values of metrics for a complex business process. In this paper we extend our previous work on analysis of secure orchestration with quantifiable properties. We show how to define, verify and enforce quantitative security requirements in one framework with other security properties. The proposed approach should help to select the most suitable service architecture and guarantee fulfilment of the declared security requirements.

description: A Fusarium species associated with sunflower based on multilocus genealogy, morphological, physiological, ecological, mating type, and mycotoxin production data is formally described as the newly discovered species Fusarium bilaiae. The F. bilaiae strains formed a genealogically exclusive lineage within the African clade of the F. fujikuroi species complex. Comparison of morphological characteristics of F. bilaiae strains with those of the closely related F. phyllophilum strain NRRL 13617 revealed similarities in the main micromorphology of both species: production of numerous one-celled microconidia in false heads and short chains on monophialides and polyphialides and the absence of macroconidia and sporodochia. There was a slight but significant distinction between the two species when the strains were grown on different agar media, as well as in the shape and width of microconidia. Fusarium bilaiae strains isolated from symptomatic sunflower were not pathogenic to members of the Asteraceae tested; apparently, they live as saprophytes or endophytes in sunflower tissues. A difference between the strains of the two species in the production of mycotoxins was demonstrated with high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis. On autoclaved rice, F. bilaiae did not produce fumonisins and beauvericin but produced moniliformin, whereas F. phyllophilum produced all these mycotoxins. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay specific for mating type alleles identified F. bilaiae as a putative heterothallic species with MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 idiomorphs, but laboratory crosses were unsuccessful. Determining the area and host range of the new endophytic species F. bilaiae is a priority for future research.

description: The arm length and the isolation in space enable the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) to probe for signals unattainable on the ground, opening a window to the subhertz gravitational-wave universe. The coupling of unavoidable angular spacecraft jitter into the longitudinal displacement measurement, an effect known as tilt-to-length (TTL) coupling, is critical for realizing the required sensitivity of picometer/Hz. An ultrastable interferometer test bed has been developed in order to investigate this issue and validate mitigation strategies in a setup representative of LISA and in this paper it is operated in the long-arm interferometer configuration. The test bed is fitted with a flat-top beam generator to simulate the beam received by a LISA spacecraft. We demonstrate a reduction of TTL coupling between this flat-top beam and a Gaussian reference beam via the introduction of two- and four-lens imaging systems. TTL coupling factors below ±25μm/rad for beam tilts within ±300μrad are obtained by careful optimization of the system. Moreover, we show that the additional TTL coupling due to lateral-alignment errors of elements of the imaging system can be compensated by introducing lateral shifts of the detector and vice versa. These findings help validate the suitability of this noise-reduction technique for the LISA long-arm interferometer. © 2020 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.

Polyhedral quotients are also briefly considered. Twisted fields, corresponding to flat connections, are looked at and examples of determinants computed. Twisted cyclic quantities are sufficient to determine those for any twisting on any factor. An application to the thermodynamics on sphere quotients is given. Some computations are made for inhomogeneous lens spaces and higher dimensions are commented on. Minimal coupling is also dealt with.

Local Regulation of Billboards: Settled and Unsettled Legal Issues
Creators: name: Bluestein, Frayda S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: Local ordinances regulating billboards, like other local land use regulations, must strike a balance between achieving a regulatory purpose and minimizing interference with private property rights. Since billboards contain constitutionally protected speech, both commercial and noncommercial, an additional layer of legal principles must be taken into account in developing billboard regulations. In addition, evaluating the impact of regulations on property rights has become complicated and unsettled due to several recent federal court decisions dealing with claims that local regulations containing amortization or removal provisions for nonconforming signs effect an unconstitutional taking of property without compensation. As in any other area of regulation, settled law gives clear guidance to the ordinance drafter; unsettled law makes for difficult drafting and policy decisions. The purpose of this article is to summarize some of the legal issues that have been raised in federal and North Carolina state court cases involving challenges to billboard regulations, to identify some of the issues that appear to be settled, and to discuss some that are not.

Lumpy Investment, Fluctuations in Volatility and Monetary Policy

firm heterogeneity

description: I argue that monetary policy is less effective at stimulating investment during periods of elevated volatility in firm-level productivity. Empirically, I document that high volatility weakens investment responses to monetary stimulus. I then develop a heterogeneous firm New Keynesian model with lumpy investment to interpret these findings. In the model, non-convex capital adjustment costs create a sizable extensive margin of investment which is more sensitive to changes in both the interest rate and volatility than the intensive margin. When volatility is high, firms tend to stay inactive at the extensive margin, so monetary stimulus motivates less investment at the extensive margin. I find that the quantitative implications of the model are primarily shaped by the specifications of the capital adjustment costs. Unlike much of the prior literature, I use the dynamic moments of investment to identify this key model element. Based on this parameterization, high volatility reduces the effectiveness of monetary stimulus for investment by 30%. This reduction is about half of what I find in the data. Therefore, the effect of monetary policy depends on both the lumpy nature of firm-level investment and fluctuations in volatility.

description: We present a multiplexing scheme for the measurement of large numbers of mesoscopic devices in cryogenic systems. The multiplexer is used to contact an array of 256 split gates on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, in which each split gate can be measured individually. The low-temperature conductance of split-gate devices is governed by quantum mechanics, leading to the appearance of conductance plateaux at intervals of 2e^2/h. A fabrication-limited yield of 94% is achieved for the array, and a "quantum yield" is also defined, to account for disorder affecting the quantum behaviour of the devices. The quantum yield rose from 55% to 86% after illuminating the sample, explained by the corresponding increase in carrier density and mobility of the two-dimensional electron gas. The multiplexer is a scalable architecture, and can be extended to other forms of mesoscopic devices. It overcomes previous limits on the number of devices that can be fabricated on a single chip due to the number of electrical contacts available, without the need to alter existing experimental set ups.

Finally, the definition of memoryless glue operators, takes us one step closer to a formal understanding of the separation of concerns principle stipulating that computational aspects of a system should be localised within its atomic components, whereas coordination layer responsible for managing concurrency should be realised by memoryless glue operators.

description: The hot-Jupiter WASP-10b was reported by Maciejewski et al. (2011a,b) to show transit timing variations (TTV) with an amplitude of ~ 3.5 minutes. These authors proposed that the observed TTVs were caused by a 0.1 MJup perturbing companion with an orbital period of ~ 5.23 d, and hence, close to the outer 5:3 mean motion resonance with WASP-10b. To test this scenario, we present eight new transit light curves of WASP-10b obtained with the Faulkes Telescope North and the Liverpool Telescope. The new light curves, together with 22 previously published ones, were modelled with a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo transit fitting code. (...) Our homogeneously derived transit times do not support the previous claimed TTV signal, which was strongly dependent on 2 previously published transits that have been incorrectly normalised. Nevertheless, a linear ephemeris is not a statistically good fit to the transit times of WASP-10b. We show that the observed transit time variations are due to spot occultation features or systematics. We discuss and exemplify the effects of occultation spot features in the measured transit times and show that despite spot occultation during egress and ingress being difficult to distinguish in the transit light curves, they have a significant effect in the measured transit times. We conclude that if we account for spot features, the transit times of WASP-10 are consistent with a linear ephemeris with the exception of one transit (epoch 143) which is a partial transit. Therefore, there is currently no evidence for the existence of a companion to WASP-10b. Our results support the lack of TTVs of hot-Jupiters reported for the Kepler sample.

"Quiche Versus Cargo": The Changing Development Role of U.S. Ports
Creators: name: Wallace, Ralph
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: Port authorities in the United States have traditionally focused their resources on the development of marine terminals and related infrastructure for waterborne commerce. In recent years, however, forces within the port industry and the communities they serve have directed many port authorities to allocate land and capital resources toward the development of a broad range of land uses unrelated to waterborne commerce. The resulting increase in competition between maritime and non-maritime uses for limited waterfront land resources (sometimes characterized as the struggle of "quiche versus cargo") is a source of ongoing debate within the port industry.

description: S. pedemontana All. Cat. 157. Vgl. Becherer Lit. 1940a, S. 239-241. Die von VULPIUS für die Distr. 3 und 4 angegebene Art ist wohl für das Wallis und damit für die Schweiz überhaupt zu streichen. Von den beiden Angaben dieses Gewährsmannes scheint nur diejenige aus dem Saastaal belegt zu sein;die betreffenden Exemplare gehören jedoch zu S. exarata. Die VULPIUSSche S. pedemontana aus dem Binntal ist nicht beizubringen. (Nach Becherer l. c.)

Ten Lessons on Catalyzing Entrepreneurship and Innovation: How Planners Can Support Business Development in the New Economy
Creators: name: Hitchings, Ben
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: As communities re-tool their economic development strategies in the wake of the Great Recession, catalyzing innovation is all the rage, but promoting entrepreneurship may be more impactful.1 From business incubators to maker spaces to innovation districts, local governments are discovering new opportunities to support business development in the New Economy. Professional planners have an important role to play in helping communities understand the benefits of these activities and which ones hold the greatest economic development potential for their jurisdictions.

description: By analogy to the three dimensional optical bottle beam, we introduce the plasmonic bottle beam: a two dimensional surface wave which features a lattice of plasmonic bottles, i.e. alternating regions of bright focii surrounded by low intensities. The two-dimensional bottle beam is created by the interference of a non-diffracting beam, a cosine-Gaussian beam, and a plane wave, thus giving rise to a non-diffracting complex intensity distribution. By controlling the propagation constant of the cosine-Gauss beam, the size and number of plasmonic bottles can be engineered. The two dimensional lattice of hot spots formed by this new plasmonic wave could have applications in plasmonic trapping.
From Forbidden Coronal Lines to Meaningful Coronal Magnetic Fields

description: We review methods to measure magnetic fields within the corona using the polarized light in magnetic-dipole (M1) lines. We are particularly interested in both the global magnetic-field evolution over a solar cycle, and the local storage of magnetic free energy within coronal plasmas. We address commonly held skepticisms concerning angular ambiguities and line-of-sight confusion. We argue that ambiguities are in principle no worse than more familiar remotely sensed photospheric vector-fields, and that the diagnosis of M1 line data would benefit from simultaneous observations of EUV lines. Based on calculations and data from eclipses, we discuss the most promising lines and different approaches that might be used. We point to the S-like [Fe {\sc XI}] line (J=2 to J=1) at 789.2nm as a prime target line (for ATST for example) to augment the hotter 1074.7 and 1079.8 nm Si-like lines of [Fe {\sc XIII}] currently observed by the Coronal Multi-channel Polarimeter (CoMP). Significant breakthroughs will be made possible with the new generation of coronagraphs, in three distinct ways: (i) through single point inversions (which encompasses also the analysis of MHD wave modes), (ii) using direct comparisons of synthetic MHD or force-free models with polarization data, and (iii) using tomographic techniques.

A Call for the Integration of Transportation and Land Use Planning
Creators: name: Bonk, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: The coordination of land use and transportation is an issue that has received increased attention as concerns about the impacts of suburban sprawl, the cost and supply of energy, air pollution and traffic congestion continue to be debated. Transportation planners are now beginning to recognize the depth of the relationship between how land is developed and how people travel. Similarly, increased attention to public transit services has just begun to focus on the relationship between land use decisions and transit ridership. While the relationship between land use patterns and transportation would seem apparent enough, it has been only recently that land use/transportation linkage has been given more attention. The rigid separation of land use planning within planning departments, transit planning within transit agencies and roadway planning within traffic engineering departments has tended to result in little coordination. During the energy crisis of the early 1970s there had been some analysis of the transportation impacts of alternative land use patterns, concentrating primarily on transportation use and energy consumption. Various studies concluded that more compact development patterns would result in reduced auto mileage and energy consumption. More recently, Robert Cervero's detailed study of suburban transportation problems in Suburban Gridlock and his later America 's Suburban Centers, re-emphasized the transportation/land use linkage and illustrated the degree to which transportation problems have resulted from a lack of coordination with land use planning.
An observation of pressure waves around a shallow cavity

description: A study was performed on supersonic flow over a shallow cavity at Mach 1·5, by using model tests and computational fluid dynamics. Flow visualization techniques including spark schlieren and computational schlieren were employed to identify wave patterns around the cavity and provide insight into major flow physics. The study identified five types of shock/pressure waves around the cavity. In particular, downstream convecting pressure waves associated with large vortices in the driving shear layer were observed. This class of waves has not been reported previously in the open literature. Results suggest that the shear layer is dominated by a coupled motion of flapping in the transverse direction due to the shear layer instability and vortex convection in the streamwise direction due to the non-linear propagation effects leading to significant wave steepening with convection
The Fiscal Impact of Alternative Land Uses in Macon County
Creators: name: Jones, Jeremy L.
name: Kask, Susan B.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: This paper uses the hedonic method to analyze the effect of land use change on local government property tax revenues and costs of property tax-supported services. A statistical model estimates the property value for alternative land uses which is used with the current property tax rate to estimate tax revenue for a typical parcel in each of three land use categories: residential, commercial, and agriculture/open-space. The per parcel average cost of tax supported services is calculated from county expenditures. Using these values a revenue to cost ratio is calculated for each land use and a scenario assuming the development of thirty acres of open space is discussed.
On the Broadcast Latency in Finite Cooperative Wireless Networks

description: The aim of this paper is to study the effect of cooperation on system delay, quantified as the number of retransmissions required to deliver a broadcast message to all intended receivers. Unlike existing works on broadcast scenarios, where distance between nodes is not explicitly considered, we examine the joint effect of small scale fading and propagation path loss. Also, we study cooperation in application to finite networks, i.e. when the number of cooperating nodes is small. Stochastic geometry and order statistics are used to develop analytical models that tightly match the simulation results for non-cooperative scenario and provide a lower bound for delay in a cooperative setting. We demonstrate that even for a simple flooding scenario, cooperative broadcast achieves significantly lower system delay.

description: We carried out a genome-wide association study (318,237 SNPs) for insulin resistance and related phenotypes in 2,684 Indian Asians, with further testing in 11,955 individuals of Indian Asian or European ancestry. We found associations of rs12970134 near MC4R with waist circumference (P = 1.7 × 10−9) and, independently, with insulin resistance. Homozygotes for the risk allele of rs12970134 have ∼2 cm increased waist circumference. Common genetic variation near MC4R is associated with risk of adiposity and insulin resistance.
Derived categories and the genus of space curves

description: We generalize a classical result about the genus of curves in projective space by Gruson and Peskine to principally polarized abelian threefolds of Picard rank one. The proof is based on wall-crossing techniques for ideal sheaves of curves in the derived category. In the process, we obtain bounds for Chern characters of other stable objects such as rank two sheaves. The argument gives a proof for projective space as well. In this case these techniques also indicate an approach for a conjecture by Hartshorne and Hirschowitz and we prove first steps toward it. © Foundation Compositio Mathematica 2020.
