description: The adequacy of the triple-Pomeron interaction approximation (the 3P-model) for description of the high-energy single diffractive dissociation of nucleons is analyzed via application to the available experimental data on nucleon-nucleon scattering, including the recent results produced by CMS Collaboration which allow to estimate reliably the triple-Pomeron coupling value. It is argued that the total contribution of secondary Reggeon exchanges is not negligible up to the Tevatron energy.

Modeling Control Measures for Air Pollutant and Greenhouse Gas Reduction in the US Cement Industry
Creators: name: Lewis, Jessica Jaslow
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) share many similar sources, suggesting that simultaneous emission reductions may be possible. We quantify the changes in emissions of GHGs and criteria air pollutants and associated costs resulting from 40 control measures for the U.S. cement industry, and use this data base of measures to analyze the co-control of air pollutant and GHG emissions. The U.S. cement industry is selected since it releases 5% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions, 1.5% of national CO2 emissions, and 1% of national NO, and SO2 emissions. Emissions data bases for GHGs and criteria air pollutants were merged to create a combined cement industry inventory with kiln-level specificity. A data base of control measures was developed based on the literature, which included a set of measures targeting air pollutant reduction, and a distinct set targeting GHG emissions, mainly through energy-efficiency improvements. We quantify the annual capital costs and savings from reduced electricity and fuel use of these control actions and their co-impact on other pollutant emissions using consistent methods for all measures. We implement a policy analysis program, the Control Strategy Tool (CoST), to determine the annual costs and emission reductions resulting from national applications of individual technologies for all relevant cement facilities in the U.S. We determine that actions to reduce GHG emissions have limited potential to reduce criteria air pollutant emissions, and that actions to reduce air pollutants have minimal impact on CO2 emissions. Therefore, it is likely that separate sets of measures targeting GHG and air pollutant reduction goals would be necessary to accomplish reduction goals for both pollutants. Blending additives into cement, replacing the kiln with a more energy efficient unit, and the use of industrial waste as a fuel source are the measures that cause the greatest CO2 reduction. High pressure rollers, co-power generation, and adjustable speed drives reduce CO2 most cost-effectively. Maximum NOx reductions are generated with selective catalytic reduction or low NO, burners, although the most cost effective controls are combustion system improvements and reduction of kiln heat loss. This analysis can inform the development of cost-effective strategies for meeting criteria air pollutant and GHG reduction goals, and anticipate how the cement industry may respond to possible GHG regulation.
Critical Perception and the Woman Composer: The Early Reception of Piano Concertos by Clara Wieck Schumann and Amy Beach
Creators: Macdonald, Claudia
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1993
Subjects: Music

description: Though lauded by contemporaneous audiences, neither Clara Wieck Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 7 (1833-35), nor Amy Beach's Piano Concerto in C♯ Minor, Op. 45 (1900) is among the standard repertory today. Both pieces were closely associated with the women who composed and performed them; and, while women then enjoyed acceptance as performers, critics tended to view women composers with reservations and judged their work accordingly.

In 1835-38 Wieck performed her Concerto to enthusiastic audiences in Germany and Austria. Reviewers, by contrast, criticized the work's design, blaming its unusual harmonic movement on the capriciousness of the female sex. Although elements of its experimental design lend the Concerto
an improvisatory quality, closer examination shows that it is tightly structured harmonically, thematically, and formally. Its innovations, far from being dictated by Wieck's gender, are found in concertos by Mendelssohn and Moscheles. Wieck defended her Concerto saying that it
appealed to her audiences, who well may have warmed to the very improvisatory
quality the critics condemned.

Audience reception of Beach's Concerto was also favorable when she gave its premiere in 1900, but reviewers were patronizing, suggesting she had overreached the bounds of her sex and needed tutoring in her craft. On grounds that later became irrelevant, they faulted the form and the
balance between soloist and orchestra, and passed over the thematic cohesiveness
and harmonic richness that likely attracted her audiences. Critical opinion changed when Beach played the Concerto in Germany and throughout the United States in 1913-17, but this was more an acknowledgment of her growing fame than a reappraisal of the work itself.

description: The generating functional for scalar theories admits a representation which is dual with respect to the one introduced by Schwinger, interchanging the role of the free and interacting terms. It maps $\int V(δ_J)$ and $JΔJ$ to $δ_{ϕ_c}Δδ_{ϕ_c}$ and $\int V(ϕ_c)$, respectively, with $ϕ_c=\int JΔ$ and $Δ$ the Feynman propagator. Comparing the Schwinger representation with its dual version one gets a little known relation that we prove to be a particular case of a more general operatorial relation. We then derive a new representation of the generating functional $T[ϕ_c]=W[J]$ expressed in terms of covariant derivatives acting on 1 $$ T[ϕ_c] = {N\over N_0} \exp(-U_0[ϕ_c])\exp\Big(-\int V({\cal D}_{ϕ_c}^-)\Big) \cdot 1 $$ where ${\cal D}_ϕ^{\pm}(x)=\mpΔ{δ\overδϕ}(x)+ϕ(x)$. The dual representation, which is deeply related to the Hermite polynomials, is the key to express the generating functional associated to a sum of potentials in terms of factorized generating functionals. This is applied to renormalization, leading to a factorization of the counterterms of the interaction. We investigate the structure of the functional generator for normal ordered potentials and derive an infinite set of relations in the case of the potential ${λ\over n!}:ϕ^n:$. Such relations are explicitly derived by using the Faà di Bruno formula. This also yields the explicit expression of the generating functional of connected Green's functions.

description: Ο ιός του COVID-19 λόγω του σοβαρού οξέος αναπνευστικού συνδρόμου SARS‐CoV‐2 που προκαλεί, αποτελεί μια παγκόσμια πρόκληση για την ιατρική κοινότητα και τη δημόσια υγεία. Η ιογενής νόσος που είναι εξαιρετικά μεταδοτική, καταγράφηκε για πρώτη φορά στην Κίνα στα τέλη του 2019 και έκτοτε εξαπλώθηκε γρήγορα σε όλο τον κόσμο, επηρεάζοντας κάθε χώρα. Οι πνεύμονες φαίνεται να είναι ο πρωταρχικός στόχος του ιού. Οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι που αναπτύσσουν COVID-19 αναρρώνουν πλήρως. Ωστόσο ένας ανησυχητικός αριθμός ασθενών εμφανίζει ποικίλες μεσοπρόθεσμες ή μακροπρόθεσμες επιπτώσεις γνωστές ως post COVID-19 συμπτώματα. Αναφορές γίνονται επίσης για προβλήματα που αφορούν την κόπωση, δύσπνοια, ψυχολογικές και γνωστικές δυσλειτουργίες όπως σύγχυση, λήθη ή έλλειψη διαύγειας. Η μακρά διάρκεια των συμπτωμάτων, επιδρά αρνητικά στην ποιότητα ζωής των ασθενών που νόσησαν, καθώς τα συμπτώματα μπορούν να επιδεινώνονται ή να υποτροπιάζουν με την πάροδο του χρόνου. Οι θεραπευτικές παρεμβάσεις της φυσικοθεραπείας φαίνεται να συμβάλλουν στην μείωση του χρόνου αποκατάστασης και του ποσοστού θνησιμότητας των ασθενών με Covid-19. Παράλληλα βοηθούν στη διατήρηση της καλής σωματικής και ψυχικής υγείας. Η γρήγορη ανάρρωση των ασθενών και η ταχεία επιστροφή τους στην καθημερινότητά και την εργασία, μειώνει τις αρνητικές επιπτώσεις της νόσου τόσο για τον ίδιο , όσο για την κοινωνία και την οικονομία.
description: The COVID-19 virus, due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome SARS-CoV-2 it causes, is a global challenge to the medical community and public health. The highly contagious viral disease was first recorded in China in late 2019 and has since spread rapidly around the world, affecting every country. The lungs appear to be the primary target of the virus. Most people who develop COVID-19 make a full recovery. However, an alarming number of patients experience a variety of medium or long-term effects known as post COVID-19 symptoms. Reports are also made of problems involving fatigue, shortness of breath, psychological and cognitive dysfunctions such as confusion, forgetfulness or lack of clarity. The long duration of the symptoms negatively affects the quality of life of the patients who suffered, as the symptoms can worsen or recur over time. The therapeutic interventions of physical therapy contribute to reducing the recovery time and mortality rate of patients with Covid-19. At the same time they help maintain good physical and mental health. The rapid recovery of patients and their fast return to everyday life and work reduces the negative effects of the disease both for the patient, as well as for society and the economy.
The Monitoring of Underground Storage Tanks with Passive Dosimetry
Creators: name: Pate, Bruce A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: Laboratory tests were conducted to determine the capability of a dosimeter to measure vapor-phase and aqueous-phase organics. Satisfactory results led to field testing at the fire training site at Pope Air Force Base outside of Fayetteville, North Carolina. The dosimeters showed good sensitivity as the vapor-phase dosimeters could measure 1ppm after 90 minutes and the aqueous-phase dosimeters could measure 0.2ppm after 5 hours. On the other hand, the results were not consistent enough to recommend quantitative monitoring. However, this is believed to be due more to the sampling methodology employed rather than to shortcomings of passive dosimetry.

description: Different roofing systems discussed in the opening paragraphs. It must be realized that the performance of a protected membrane system is related to a single membrane that serves as both air vapour barrier and water barrier. It must be continuous and waterproof from installation throughout its service life. It is in a favourable environment in relation to temperature and weather and will usually outlast the insulation, which can largely deteriorate before the membrane will be affected. The life of insulation can be extended by designs that allow for drainage and evaporation of moisture from all sources.
Cosmic troublemakers: the Cold Spot, the Eridanus Supervoid, and the Great Walls

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The alignment of the CMB Cold Spot and the Eridanus supervoid suggests a physical connection between these two relatively rare objects. We use galaxy cata\-logues with photometric (2MPZ) and spectroscopic (6dF) redshift measurements, supplemented by low-redshift compilations of cosmic voids, in order to improve the 3D mapping of the matter density in the Eridanus constellation. We find evidence for a supervoid with a significant elongation in the line-of-sight, effectively spanning the total redshift range $z<0.3$. Our tomographic imaging reveals important substructure in the Eridanus supervoid, with a potential interpretation of a long, fully connected system of voids. We improve the analysis by extending the line-of-sight measurements into the antipodal direction that interestingly crosses the Northern Local Supervoid at the lowest redshifts. Then it intersects very rich superclusters like Hercules and Corona Borealis, in the region of the Coma and Sloan Great Walls, as a possible compensation for the large-scale matter deficit of Eridanus. We find that large-scale structure measurements are consistent with a central matter underdensity $δ_0 \approx -0.25$, projected transverse radius $r_{0}^{\perp}\approx 195$ Mpc/h with an extra deepening in the centre, and line-of-sight radius $r_{0}^{\parallel}\approx500$ Mpc/h, i.e. an ellipsoidal supervoid. The expected integrated Sachs-Wolfe imprint of such an elongated supervoid is at the $ΔT_{\rm ISW} \approx -40 μK$ level, thus inappropriate to accounting for the Cold Spot pattern in the CMB.

Land Disposal Restrictions and the Impact on Hazardous Waste Management Needs in North Carolina
Creators: name: Williams, Amanda J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1992

description: This report presents an in-depth summary of the Land Disposal Restrictions, and an analysis of non-wastewater hazardous waste generation and off-site disposal methods in North Carolina. The purpose was to analyze the impact that the Land Disposal Restrictions would have on the need for incineration capacity, if any, for the State. It is important to realize that hazardous waste generation and management, both in the State and in the nation, are in a constant state of flux, and are subject to variables in reporting and in State and Federal regulations and policies. This report was based on the most recent information available, which was 1990. The next two chapters provide background material describing the details of the Land Disposal Restrictions. The intent was to present the regulations in a condensed and more easily understood format than the codified version. It is hoped that this summary will assist groups, such as the Commission or committees of the North Carolina General Assembly, who need a version of the regulation that can be easily understood. Chapter 4 briefly discusses incineration as a technology and as a treatment option. Chapter 5 presents an analysis of the generation and off-site management of wastes in North Carolina during 1990 as provided by the Hazardous Waste Section, and an analysis examining the potential impact of the Land Disposal Restrictions on the future of waste management in the State. The focus is on the potential need for greater incineration or fuel substitution capacity. The final chapter presents conclusions and recommendations based on this research. There are also six appendices. Appendix A presents details of the methodology used to calculate the effects of the Land Disposal Restrictions on North Carolina's need for greater incineration capacity. Appendices BE present detailed accounts of the hazardous waste codes that were used in the analysis presented in Chapter 5, and appendix F lists the wastes that were regulated by the Land Disposal Restrictions for which incineration was either a required treatment technology, or the concentration-based standard was based on incineration, but were not generated in North Carolina in 1990.

description: This paper presents three hyperspectral mixture models jointly with Bayesian algorithms for supervised hyperspectral unmixing. Based on the residual component analysis model, the proposed general formulation assumes the linear model to be corrupted by an additive term whose expression can be adapted to account for nonlinearities (NL), endmember variability (EV), or mismodelling effects (ME). The NL effect is introduced by considering a polynomial expression that is related to bilinear models. The proposed new formulation of EV accounts for shape and scale endmember changes while enforcing a smooth spectral/spatial variation. The ME formulation takes into account the effect of outliers and copes with some types of EV and NL. The known constraints on the parameter of each observation model are modeled via suitable priors. The posterior distribution associated with each Bayesian model is optimized using a coordinate descent algorithm which allows the computation of the maximum a posteriori estimator of the unknown model parameters. The proposed mixture and Bayesian models and their estimation algorithms are validated on both synthetic and real images showing competitive results regarding the quality of the inferences and the computational complexity when compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms.

description: The prediction of foundation movement is based on knowledge of how foundation loads are transferred to the ground and how the earth and rock materials respond to stress increases. One of the more destructive movements is caused by differential settlements, and their occurrence can often be attributed to local variations in soil compressibility; variation in thickness of compressible soil; differences in footing sizes and pressures; variations in applied load or differences in embedment depth of footings. Three basic types of settlement are uniform, tilt and non-uniform settlement. The "allowable" settlement depends on the type of structure, its size and intended use. Not all movements are unrelated to foundation pressure. The most important are a result of soil shrinkage and swelling. Shrinking is caused by the removal of water, such as "drying out" due to long periods of draught, or removal of water by tree roots. Swelling results from fresh supplies of water not available when the structure was built. Swelling and shrinkage, however, normally occur in fine-grained soil with a large clay content. Other causes of foundation movement may be the result of soil freezing, causing soil heaving, or in the cause of pyritic shales, oxidization which results in volume increase. It is important to remember that all foundations move; the challenge is to predict the behaviour of the foundation and appreciation for the interaction of the soil and the structure.
Assessment of DNA Damage in Human Leukocytes by Tamoxifen and 4-Hydroxytamoxifen as Measured in the Single Cell Gel Electrophoretic (COMET) Assay

Year: 2001

description: Adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen (TAM) has proven invaluable in the fight against breast cancer, reducing incidences of invasive breast cancer by almost 50%. However, its use has also been associated with an increased risk for endometrial cancer. To explore possible mechanisms of actions, TAM and one of its primary metabolites, 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OH TAM), were evaluated for their ability to induce DNA damage in human leukocytes. Levels of DNA damage were measured by the alkaline (pH>13) Single Cell Gel (SCG) Electrophoretic Assay. TAM and 4-OH TAM both produced slight increases in DNA damage in the absence of metabolicactivation (S9). When both compounds were incubated with either rat liver or human liver S9, the levels of DNA damage increased only when TAM was incubated with rat liver S9. Under the conditions of these experiments, TAM or 4-OH TAM exhibited weak genotoxic activity. The relevance of these findings to adverse human health outcomes requires further investigation.

description: A basic requirement of any civil engineering structure is that it does not collapse, causing death, injury or economic loss. It is a requirement that cannot be made absolute. Structures have collapsed, and even with improved technology they will continue to do so. This Digest will consider the risks involved, the main reasons for structural collapse, and how risks are taken into account by structural engineers in design. Finally, as an aid to designers and builders, the Digest will include a list of specially vulnerable situations that have caused most structural collapses in Canada.

description: The topological Kondo (TK) model has been proposed in solid-state quantum devices as a way to realize non-Fermi liquid behaviors in a controllable setting. Another motivation behind the TK model proposal is the demand to demonstrate the quantum dynamical properties of Majorana fermions, which are at the heart of their potential use in topological quantum computation. Here we consider a junction of crossed Tonks-Girardeau gases arranged in a star-geometry (forming a Y -junction), and we perform a theoretical analysis of this system showing that it provides a physical realization of the topological Kondo model in the realm of cold atom systems. Using computer-generated holography, we experimentally implement a Y-junction suitable for atom trapping, with controllable and independent parameters. The junction and the transverse size of the atom waveguides are of the order of 5 micrometers, leading to favorable estimates for the Kondo temperature and for the coupling across the junction. Since our results show that all the required theoretical and experimental ingredients are available, this provides the demonstration of an ultracold atom device that may in principle exhibit the topological Kondo effect.

description: The Ising nematic quantum critical point (QCP) associated with the zero temperature transition from a symmetric to a nematic {\it metal} is an exemplar of metallic quantum criticality. We have carried out a minus sign-free quantum Monte Carlo study of this QCP for a two dimensional lattice model with sizes up to $24\times 24$ sites. The system remains non-superconducting down to the lowest accessible temperatures. The results exhibit critical scaling behavior over the accessible ranges of temperature, (imaginary) time, and distance. This scaling behavior has remarkable similarities with recently measured properties of the Fe-based superconductors proximate to their putative nematic QCP.

Jordan Lake Zooplankton: Potential for Controlling Phytoplankton
Creators: name: Shahady, Thomas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: Recently, some of the variance in primary productivity observed in lakes has been associated with the variability in piscivorous fish populations. This is because various levels of zooplankton consumption by planktivorous fishes result in varying grazing pressures on phytoplankton assemblages. This study proceeds from the idea that in Jordan Lake, zooplanktivory may have strong effects on the composition and chlorophyll concentration of the phytoplankton. The investigation examines the ability of the zooplankton community in a turbid, highly eutrophic southeastern reservoir to control phytoplankton inside enclosures that excluded all fish. The reservoir has a large standing crop of gizzard and threadfin shad, black crappie, bluegill and several other centrarchid and cyprinid planktivores. Six experiments conducted using one meter diameter enclosures between August and September 1986 and May to June 1987 suggested that zooplankton were capable of reducing phytoplankton biomass to very low levels independent of nutrient concentrations when Daphnia spp. was in the lake. The other dominant zooplankton, although increasing in biomass in the absence of fish, did not reduce phytoplankton biomass.

description: Στις θυσίες των αγωνιστών του 1821 για την απελευθέρωση συγκαταλέγεται η θυσία του Γιάννη Γούναρη, που συνέβαλε στη σωτηρία του Μεσολογγίου και την επιτυχή έκβαση του αγώνα των Ελλήνων για την ανεξαρτησία τους. Ο Γιάννης Γούναρης, μια περίπτωση μοναδική μέσα στο χώρο της Εκκλησίας, δεν είναι μόνον ένας άγνωστος αγωνιστής του 1821, αλλά και ο πρώτος ασκητής που εγκαταστάθηκε στην Ιερά Μονή της Ζωοδόχου Πηγής. Η Μονή της Παναγίας Ελεούσας, όπου κατέφυγε ο “Καλόγερος” της Κλεισούρας, αποτελεί σήμερα θρησκευτικό προσκύνημα, στο οποίο προστρέχουν όλοι όσοι αποδίδουν τιμή στην Κυρά των Αιτωλών χάρη στην προσφορά του “Καλόγερου” της Κλεισούρας, του οποίου το έργο βρήκε συνεχιστές, όπως τον αείμνηστο μητροπολίτη Θεόκλητο Αβραντινή, ο οποίος πρωταγωνίστησε στη μεγάλη προσπάθεια ανέγερσης του μοναστηριού. Όλοι οι μοναχοί που εγκαταβίωσαν στη Μονή, με ζήλο για την διακονία τους στη Θεοτόκο, κερδίζουν την εκτίμηση και τον σεβασμό του πληρώματος της Εκκλησίας. Ο Πανάρετος Παλαμάς έζησε και έδρασε σε μια δύσκολη εποχή για την Ελλάδα, γεύτηκε τα δεινά της σκλαβιάς και στήριξε τους πιστούς με το έργο του. Ο τελευταίος φύλακας του μοναστηριού, ο ιερομόναχος Ιερόθεος Σπανομήτσος αποδείχτηκε άξιος συνεχιστής των προκατόχων του. Διήγε παραδειγματικό βίο και ήταν από εκείνες τις εκκλησιαστικές μορφές που παρείχε οικονομική ενίσχυση στους συνανθρώπους του και ελπίδα στις δύσκολες στιγμές τους.
description: Among the sacrifices of the 1821 fighters for liberation is the sacrifice of Giannis Gounaris who contributed to the salvation of Messolonghi and the successful outcome of the struggle of the Greeks for their independence. Giannis Gounaris, a unique case within the Greek Church, is not only an unknown 1821 fighter, but also the first ascetic who established the Holy Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi. The Monastery of Panagia Eleousa, where the “Monk” of Kleisoura took refuge, is today a religious pilgrimage attended by all those who pay homage to the Lady of Aitolia thanks to the offering of the “Monk” of Kleisoura whose work found successors such as the late Bishop Theoklitos Avrantinis who played a major role in the great effort for the construction of the monastery. All the monks who resided the Monastery, attached to their ministry of Theotokos, gain the appreciation and respect of the Church people. Panaretos Palamas lived and was active during a difficult time in Greece, he faced the sufferings of slavery and supported the faithful through his work. The last guardian of the monastery, monk Ierotheos Spanomitsos, proved to be a worthy successor of his predecessors. He led an exemplary life and was one of those ecclesiastical figures who provided financial support to his fellow human beings and gave hope during their difficult times.
