Site Planning And Local Government Strategies For Conserving Energy And Promoting Renewable Energy
Creators: name: Sabrsula, Justin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Energy consumption from the built environment creates increasing impacts on the natural environment in forms of air pollution and global climate change. Through site planning for energy conservation, planners can dramatically reduce the energy consumption of buildings in the urban environment. Techniques such as passive solar orientation, landscaping for energy conservation, green building guidelines, and increasing building density all individually reduce energy consumption and when combined interact to compound energy savings. Additionally, by providing access to renewable energy supplies such as wind and solar energy, planners can enable community solutions to energy problems. Government actions often lead the way in proving energy conservation principles, and renovating existing buildings will play an important role in reducing urban energy consumption. Through a combination of more energy-efficient site planning processes and government actions, cities can consume dramatically less energy, creating a more efficient urban area which minimizes its impact on the atmosphere and global climate change.

description: Modern scanning probe techniques, like scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), provide access to a large amount of data encoding the underlying physics of quantum matter. In this work, we analyze how convolutional neural networks (CNN) can be employed to learn effective theoretical models from STM data on correlated moiré superlattices. These engineered systems are particularly well suited for this task as their enhanced lattice constant provides unprecedented access to intra-unit-cell physics and their tunability allows for high-dimensional data sets within a single sample. Using electronic nematic order in twisted double-bilayer graphene (TDBG) as an example, we show that including correlations between the local density of states (LDOS) at different energies allows CNNs not only to learn the microscopic nematic order parameter, but also to distinguish it from heterostrain. These results demonstrate that neural networks constitute a powerful methodology for investigating the microscopic details of correlated phenomena in moiré systems and beyond.

description: Recent interest in human dynamics has stimulated the investigation of the stochastic processes that explain human behaviour in various contexts, such as mobile phone networks and social media. In this paper, we extend the stochastic urn-based model proposed in \cite{FENN15} so that it can generate mixture models,in particular, a mixture of exponential distributions. The model is designed to capture the dynamics of survival analysis, traditionally employed in clinical trials, reliability analysis in engineering, and more recently in the analysis of large data sets recording human dynamics. The mixture modelling approach, which is relatively simple and well understood, is very effective in capturing heterogeneity in data. We provide empirical evidence for the validity of the model, using a data set of popular search engine queries collected over a period of 114 months. We show that the survival function of these queries is closely matched by the exponential mixture solution for our model.

Cassini states for black hole binaries

description: Cassini states correspond to the equilibria of the spin axis of a body when its orbit is perturbed. They were initially described for planetary satellites, but the spin axes of black hole binaries also present this kind of equilibria. In previous works, Cassini states were reported as spin-orbit resonances, but actually the spin of black hole binaries is in circulation and there is no resonant motion. Here we provide a general description of the spin dynamics of black hole binary systems based on a Hamiltonian formalism. In absence of dissipation the problem is integrable and it is easy to identify all possible trajectories for the spin for a given value of the total angular momentum. As the system collapses due to radiation reaction, the Cassini states are shifted to different positions, which modifies the dynamics around them. This is why the final spin distribution may differ from the initial one. Our method provides a simple way of predicting the distribution of the spin of black hole binaries at the end of the inspiral phase.

Meta-Learning with Adaptive Weighted Loss for Imbalanced Cold-Start Recommendation

description: Sequential recommenders have made great strides in capturing a user's preferences. Nevertheless, the cold-start recommendation remains a fundamental challenge as they typically involve limited user-item interactions for personalization. Recently, gradient-based meta-learning approaches have emerged in the sequential recommendation field due to their fast adaptation and easy-to-integrate abilities. The meta-learning algorithms formulate the cold-start recommendation as a few-shot learning problem, where each user is represented as a task to be adapted. While meta-learning algorithms generally assume that task-wise samples are evenly distributed over classes or values, user-item interactions in real-world applications do not conform to such a distribution (e.g., watching favorite videos multiple times, leaving only positive ratings without any negative ones). Consequently, imbalanced user feedback, which accounts for the majority of task training data, may dominate the user adaptation process and prevent meta-learning algorithms from learning meaningful meta-knowledge for personalized recommendations. To alleviate this limitation, we propose a novel sequential recommendation framework based on gradient-based meta-learning that captures the imbalanced rating distribution of each user and computes adaptive loss for user-specific learning. Our work is the first to tackle the impact of imbalanced ratings in cold-start sequential recommendation scenarios. Through extensive experiments conducted on real-world datasets, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.

description: The duration distribution of 947 GRBs observed by $Swift$/BAT, as well as its subsample of 347 events with measured redshift, allowing to examine the durations in both the observer and rest frames, are examined. Using a maximum log-likelihood method, mixtures of two and three standard Gaussians are fitted to each sample, and the adequate model is chosen based on the value of the difference in the log-likelihoods, Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion. It is found that a two-Gaussian is a better description than a three-Gaussian, and that the presumed intermediate-duration class is unlikely to be present in the $Swift$ duration data.

Environmentally Accountable Economic Development: Two case studies of combining job creation with environmental protection
Creators: name: Klein, Adam
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The traditional approach to economic development views environmental regulation as a constraint to business development and job growth. This in many ways has led to the ongoing tension between job creation and environmental protection. Little is understood, however, as to how this tension might be reconciled so that environmental and economic progress can occur simultaneously. This project examines two places, Chattanooga, Tennessee and Northampton County, Virginia to understand the pressures and conditions under which cities and regions elect to pursue a more environmentally accountable form of economic development. Three key findings emerge from both cases: the importance of creating broad, cross-cultural, cross-racial alliances, institutionalizing those alliances, and creating porosity between civic society and the state to involve citizen groups in formal governmental processes in novel ways. Through a grounded understanding of the particular processes and pressures in both Chattanooga and Northampton that led to these outcomes, the reader gains insight into the kind of institutional infrastructure and conditions necessary to support a more environmentally responsive and accountable form of economic development.

Evaluating Inter-Agency Vehicle Headway Adherence Using AVL Data
Creators: name: Boone, Scott
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: A frequent source of frustration for riders of public transit is irregularity in arrival times of the
transport vehicles. The use of GPS-based automatic vehicle locator (AVL) services in conjunction
with web devices and smart signage can mitigate some of the uncertainty involved in waiting for the
transit vehicles and can be used to minimize wait times at the stop; however, regularly unreliable
vehicle arrivals can over time impede the use of public transit as a viable alternative to other forms
of transportation.
A number of factors, including land use, traffic patterns, policy, rolling stock and loading rates
influence the tendency of buses to experience headway irregularity. We seek to identify factors
associated with the gapping and bunching of buses—identified through gathered AVL data—at a
number of cities in the US. By comparing these factors between different transit agencies, I hope
to determine if the rates of gapping and bunching are more closely associated with local factors
(e.g., land use or ridership) or by latent, agency-wide factors.
Robustness of Energy Landscape Controllers for Spin Rings under Coherent Excitation Transport

description: The design and analysis of controllers to regulate excitation transport in quantum spin rings presents challenges in the application of classical feedback control techniques to synthesize effective control, and generates results in contradiction to the expectations of classical control theory. In this paper, we examine the robustness of controllers designed to optimize the fidelity of an excitation transfer to uncertainty in system and control parameters. We use the logarithmic sensitivity of the fidelity error as the measure of robustness, drawing on the classical control analog of the sensitivity of the tracking error. In our analysis we demonstrate that quantum systems optimized for coherent transport demonstrate significantly different correlation between error and the log-sensitivity depending on whether the controller is optimized for readout at an exact time T or over a time-window about T.

Staying home: An evaluation of North Carolina’s Urgent Repair Program

Year: 2017

description: Among other programs of the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA), the Urgent Repair Program (URP) finances home repairs and modification for low-income households with special needs. URP aims to improve quality of life and choice for individuals who might otherwise have to endure substandard, unsafe housing conditions or enter institutional care settings. This evaluation assesses the program’s outcomes and impact in three areas: (1) effectiveness, or how well URP prevents displacement and improves quality of life for participants; (2) spatial equity, or how the geographic distribution of URP investment compares to the distribution of need; and (3) cost efficiency, or how the program’s public costs compare to its public benefits. Participant surveys, GIS mapping, and cost/benefit analysis were used to evaluate URP’s performance in these three areas, respectively. Findings revealed that URP has largely succeeded at improving participants’ quality of life, addressing spatially concentrated need, and creating savings to public health insurance systems: Overall satisfaction with URP among surveyed participants was 90.7%; URP is highly active in 76% of the counties with high proportions of eligible households; and Every $1 of URP funding could save up to $19 of Medicaid/Medicare spending. Recommendations for improving the program include: Improving program administration guidelines regarding project monitoring, quality control, and communication among local administrators, applicants/participants, and contractors; Increasing outreach to potential local program administrators in six underserved, high-need counties (Alleghany, Ashe, Beaufort, Bladen, Chatham, and Jones); and Coordinating with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to enhance the provision of publicly-funded home and community-based long-term care services. Overall, this study provides evidence of URP’s positive statewide impact and fiscal cost effectiveness, supporting the program’s popularity and its important role in advancing opportunities for community living and aging in place for North Carolinians.

description: We present observations of four rapidly rising (t_{rise}~10d) transients with peak luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M_{peak}~-20) - one discovered and followed by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and three by the Supernova Legacy Survey (SNLS). The light curves resemble those of SN 2011kl, recently shown to be associated with an ultra-long-duration gamma ray burst (GRB), though no GRB was seen to accompany our SNe. The rapid rise to a luminous peak places these events in a unique part of SN phase space, challenging standard SN emission mechanisms. Spectra of the PTF event formally classify it as a Type II SN due to broad Halpha emission, but an unusual absorption feature, which can be interpreted as either high velocity Halpha (though deeper than in previously known cases) or Si II (as seen in Type Ia SNe), is also observed. We find that existing models of white dwarf detonations, CSM interaction, shock breakout in a wind (or steeper CSM) and magnetar spindown can not readily explain the observations. We consider the possibility that a "Type 1.5 SN" scenario could be the origin of our events. More detailed models for these kinds of transients and more constraining observations of future such events should help better determine their nature.

description: Maxwell lattices, where the number of degrees of freedom equals the number of constraints, are known to host topologically-protected zero-frequency modes and states of self stress, characterized by a topological index called topological polarization. In this letter, we show that in addition to these known topological modes, with the help of a mirror symmetry, the inherent chiral symmetry of Maxwell lattices creates another topological index, the mirror-graded winding number (MGWN). This MGWN is a higher order topological index, which gives rise to topological zero modes and states of self stress at mirror-invariant domain walls and corners between two systems with different MGWNs. We further show that two systems with same topological polarization can have different MGWNs, indicating that these two topological indices are fundamentally distinct.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: This study aims to provide information and recommendations to leaders in Memphis-Shelby County, Tennessee on how to design and implement an incentive-based green building program. The study methodology has three parts: 1) a review of existing literature and research on green building and sustainable development in the U.S.; 2) interviews with developers and other professionals who work in related fields (planning and architecture) in the Memphis area, and; 3) case studies of incentive-based green building programs in select U.S. cities. Although all three research methods were valuable, the interviews provided the most in-depth information on these major themes: the market for green building in the Memphis area, the barriers to completing green building projects, and the best kinds of incentives to help encourage developers to build more sustainably. Based on the results of this methodology, the following recommendations were developed for the Memphis-Shelby County Office of Sustainability as they begin the process of designing an incentive-based green building program.

description: We construct an entanglement witness for many-qubit systems, based on symmetric two-body correlations with two measurement settings. This witness is able to detect the entanglement of some Dicke states for any number of particles, and such detection exhibits some robustness against white noise and thermal noise under the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonian. In addition, it detects the entanglement of spin-squeezed states, with a detection strength that approaches the maximal value for sufficiently large numbers of particles. As spin-squeezed states can be experimentally generated, the properties of the witness with respect to these states may be amenable to experimental investigation. Finally, we show that while the witness is unable to detect GHZ states, it is instead able to detect superpositions of Dicke states with GHZ states.

We present two exactly soluble electron trajectories that permit analysis of the radiation emitted, exploring its time evolution and spectrum by analogy with the moving mirror model of the dynamic Casimir effect. These classical solutions are finite energy, rectilinear (nonperiodic), asymptotically zero velocity worldlines with corresponding quantum analog beta Bogolyubov coefficients. One of them has an interesting connection to uniform acceleration and Leonardo da Vinci's water pitcher experiment.

Shock breakout driven by the remnant of a neutron star binary merger: An X-ray precursor of mergernova emission

description: A supra-massive neutron star (NS) spinning extremely rapidly could survive from a merger of NS-NS binary. The spin-down of this remnant NS that is highly magnetized would power the isotropic merger ejecta to produce a bright mergernova emission in ultraviolet/optical bands. Before the mergernova, the early interaction between the NS wind and the ejecta can drive a forward shock propagating outwards into the ejecta. As a result, a remarkable amount of heat can be accumulated behind the shock front and the final escaping of this heat can produce a shock breakout emission. We describe the dynamics and thermal emission of this shock with a semi-analytical model. It is found that sharp and luminous breakout emission appears mainly in soft X-rays with a luminosity of $\sim10^{45}~\rm erg~s^{-1}$ at a few hours after the merger, by leading the mergernova emission as a precursor. Therefore, detection of such an X-ray precursor would provide a smoking-gun evidence for identifying NS-powered mergernovae and distinguishing them from the radioactive-powered ones (i.e., kilonovae or macronovae). The discovery of NS-powered mergernovae would finally help to confirm the gravitational wave signals due to the mergers and the existence of supra-massive NSs.

description: The pulse profile of PSR B1133+16 is usually regarded as a conal-double structure. However, its multifrequency profiles cannot simply be fitted with two Gaussian functions, and a third component is always needed to fit the bridge region (between two peaks). This would introduce additional, redundant parameters. In this paper, through a comparison of five fitting functions (Gaussian, von Mises, hyperbolic secant, square hyperbolic secant, and Lorentz), it is found that the square hyperbolic secant function can best reproduce the profile, yielding an improved fit. Moreover, a symmetric 2D radiation beam function, instead of a simple 1D Gaussian function, is used to fit the profile. Each profile with either well-resolved or not-so-well-resolved peaks could be fitted adequately using this beam function, and the bridge emission between the two peaks does not need to be a new component. Adopting inclination and impact angles based on polarization measurements, the opening angle (θ_μ0) of the radiation beam in a certain frequency band is derived from beam-function fitting. The corresponding radiation altitudes are then calculated. Based on multi-frequency profiles, we also computed the Lorentz factors of the particles and their dispersion at those locations in both the curvature-radiation (CR) and inverse-Compton-scattering (ICS) models. We found that the Lorentz factors of the particles decrease rapidly as the radiation altitude increases. Besides, the radiation prefers to be generated in annular region rather than core region, and this needs further validation.

What are greenways worth? The impact of the Buckeye Trail Greenway on home sale price in Raleigh, North Carolina
Creators: name: Bell, Corey Isadore
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The monetary impact of greenways on proximate residential property values remains somewhat of a mystery. Many of the existing claims about the positive and negative impacts of greenways on property values are not substantiated by quantitative analysis. This study uses the hedonic pricing method in an attempt to examine and quantify the impacts of a greenway in Raleigh, North Carolina, on surrounding single family homes. The results demonstrate that the greenway examined may not have significant positive impacts on proximate home sale prices. Also, adjacency to the greenway produced slightly negative and insignificant impacts on property values. I speculate that the unexpected findings may be explainable by data and model limitations that preclude analysis of all influential variables.

Clustering properties and halo masses for central galaxies in the local Universe

description: We investigate the clustering and dark matter halo mass for a sample of $\sim$16,000 central galaxies selected from the SDSS/DR7 group catalog. We select subsamples of central galaxies on three two-dimensional planes, each formed by stellar mass ($M_{\star}$) and one of the other properties including optical color (g-r) , surface stellar mass density ($μ_{\star}$) and central stellar velocity dispersion ($σ_{\star}$). For each subsample we measure both the projected cross-correlation function ($w_{p}(r_{p})$) relative to a reference galaxy sample, and an average mass of the host dark matter halos ($M_{halo}$) . For comparison we have also estimated the $w_{p}(r_{p})$ for the full galaxy population and the subset of satellite galaxies. We find that, for central galaxies, both $w_{p}(r_{p})$ and $M_{halo}$ show strongest dependence on $M_{\star}$, and there is no clear dependence on other properties when stellar mass is fixed. This result provides strong support to the previously-adopted assumption that, for central galaxies, stellar mass is the galaxy property that is best indicative of the host dark halo mass. The full galaxy population and the subset of satellites show similar clustering properties in all cases. However, they are similar to the centrals only at high masses ($M_{\star} \geq 10^{11} M_{\odot}$). At low-mass ($M_{\star} \leq 10^{11} M_{\odot}$), the results are different: the $w_{p}(r_{p})$ increases with both $σ$ and g-r when $M_{\star}$ is fixed, and depends very weakly on $M_{\star}$ when $σ_{\star}$ or g-r is fixed. At fixed $M_{star}$, the $μ_{\star}$ shows weak correlations with clustering amplitude (and halo mass for central galaxies). Our results suggest that it is necessary to consider central and satellite galaxies separately when studying the link between galaxies and dark matter halos. (Abridged)

Planckian corrections to the Friedmann flat equations from thermodynamics at the apparent horizon

description: In this paper we use our recently generalized black hole entropy formula to propose a quantum version of the Friedmann equations. In particular, starting from the differential version of the first law of thermodynamics, we are able to find planckian (non commutative) corrections to the Friedmann flat equations. The so modified equations are formally similar to the ones present in Gauss-Bonnet gravity, but in the ordinary 3+1 dimensions. As a consequence of these corrections, by considering negative fluctuations in the internal energy that are allowed by quantum field theory, our equations imply a maximum value both for the energy density $ρ$ and for the Hubble flow $H$, i.e. the big bang is ruled out. Conversely, by considering positive quantum fluctuations, we found no maximum for $ρ$ and $H$. Nevertheless, by starting with an early time energy density $ρ\sim 1/t^2$, we obtain a value for the scale factor $a(t)\sim e^{\sqrt{t}}$, implying a finite planckian universe at $t=0$, i.e. the point-like big bang singularity is substituted by a universe of planckian size at $t=0$. Finally, we found possible higher order planckian terms to our equations together with the related corrections of our generalized Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

Beyond the operating ratio: using financial statement analysis to assess fixed capital investment
Creators: name: Hughes, Sean
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Current practice among investors, policy makers, and industry groups for identifying the condition of physical capital in water and wastewater utilities includes the use of several key financial ratios such as Operating Ratio, Age of Plant, Fixed Asset Turnover and Infrastructure Condition. However, these ratios are frequently misinterpreted by users of the data who are unaware of the impact of inflation upon the ratios. Because inflation exaggerates the value of newer investments in fixed capital relative to existing historical investments, the newer assets dominate the calculation of fixed asset related financial information (depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, gross fixed assets and net fixed assets). As a result, the calculation of capital condition ratios leads to frequent overestimates of the condition of the fixed capital and the time until replacement, particularly for utilities with a large portion of older assets. Financial modeling indicates that this inflation driven distortion is also impacted by the timing and expected life of investments in physical assets. Sensitivity testing of inflation, investment schedule, and expected life is used to determine guidelines for correctly interpreting financially based capital condition ratios within a given utility or better identification of peer group utilities for the purposes of benchmarking.
