Housing Policy for Eviction Prevention During COVID-19
Creators: name: Turner, Lauren
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has increased housing instability and put millions of renters at risk of displacement since stay-at-home orders began in the US in March 2020. Federal, state, and local actors rushed to expand and adapt existing housing policies, and create new ones, to prevent the additional public health disaster of millions of Americans being evicted. This paper examines two housing policy measures – eviction moratoria and emergency rental assistance (ERA) – taken to prevent evictions during COVID-19, exploring these policies at the federal, state, and local level. The paper uses the state of North Carolina, specifically Orange County, as a case study, examining Orange County’s Emergency Housing Assistance (EHA) fund. Finally, this paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the weaknesses of US affordable housing policy, and explores potential policy proposals for the future of housing in the US.

description: Quantum effects of plasmonic phenomena have been explored through ab-initio studies, but only for exceedingly small metallic nanostructures, leaving most experimentally relevant structures too large to handle. We propose instead an effective description with the computationally appealing features of classical electrodynamics, while quantum properties are described accurately through an infinitely thin layer of dipoles oriented normally to the metal surface. The nonlocal polarizability of the dipole layer is mapped from the free-electron distribution near the metal surface as obtained with 1D quantum calculations, such as time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), and is determined once and for all. The model can be applied to any system size that is tractable within classical electrodynamics, while capturing quantum plasmonic aspects of nonlocal response and a finite work function with TDDFT-level accuracy. Applying the theory to dimers we find quantum-corrections to the hybridization even in mesoscopic dimers as long as the gap is sub-nanometric itself.

description: For any Calderón-Zygmund operator $ T$, any weight $ w$, and $ α>1$, the operator $ T$ is bounded as a map from $ L ^{1} (M _{ L \log\log L (\log\log\log L) ^{α} } w )$ into weak-$L^1(w)$. The interest in questions of this type goes back to the beginnings of the weighted theory, with prior results, due to Coifman-Fefferman, Pérez, and Hytönen-Pérez, on the $ L (\log L) ^{ε}$ scale. Also, for square functions $ S f$, and weights $ w \in A_p$, the norm of $ S$ from $ L ^p (w)$ to weak-$L^p (w)$, $ 2\leq p < \infty $, is bounded by $ [w] _{A_p}^{1/2} (1+\log [w] _{A_ \infty }) ^{1/2} $, which is a sharp estimate.

description: Flux-averaged cross sections for cosmogenic-neutron activation of natural tellurium were measured using a neutron beam containing neutrons of kinetic energies up to $\sim$800 MeV, and having an energy spectrum similar to that of cosmic-ray neutrons at sea-level. Analysis of the radioisotopes produced reveals that 110mAg will be a dominant contributor to the cosmogenic-activation background in experiments searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 130Te, such as CUORE and SNO+. An estimate of the cosmogenic-activation background in the CUORE experiment has been obtained using the results of this measurement and cross-section measurements of proton activation of tellurium. Additionally, the measured cross sections in this work are also compared with results from semi-empirical cross-section calculations.

description: U.S. cotton producers have frequently experienced excess production capacity, high stocks, and low product prices. These problems continue into the 1980's. Government programs since the 1930's have supported prices and attempted to adjust acreage and production to meet market needs, with varying degrees of success. Issues for 1985 farm legislation include the appropriate kinds and levels of price and income supports and effective ways to manage production over the long run with improvement of production efficiency. At the same time, the interrelationships between the cotton industry and other sectors of the U.S. economy and the need to compete in world markets are important considerations.

ADDRESSING COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH UPSTREAM DETERMINANTS: INCREASING CHILD RESILIENCE BY TRANSFORMING THE SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY CONTEXT IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
Creators: name: SHANE CHELLANI
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Interactions with our community and social environment play a significant role in our overall health and wellbeing and are considered Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). One SDOH that impacts Cumberland County, North Carolina is the number of children aged 0-3 years old who have been abused or maltreated. This leads to multiple health issues including cardiovascular disease, strokes, and mental health issues and can perpetuate the cycle of violent crime. Due to this issue, we have formed the Cumberland County Child Resiliency Organization (CCCRO), an Accountable Care Community (ACC) whose goal is to addressing health outcomes by improving parenting strategies for caregivers to reduce the incidence of child abuse by 10% by 2024. The CCCRO will be working with a group of community stakeholders and partners to advocate for a federal ban on corporal punishment and to implement the Building Resilient Families program for parents and caregivers in Cumberland County.

Whose 15-Minute Windy City?: Evaluating Access to Walkable Places in Chicago
Creators: name: Bright, Douglas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This paper extends an existing accessibility analysis of Chicago based on the policy platform known as the 15-Minute City, which focuses on proximity of destinations at threshold level (whether categories of destination exist at all within the travel sheds). The author used indexing to compare the metric to an alternative, more complex metric. He then used GIS software and zoning districts to conduct a dasymetric areal interpolation to assign demographic data to walksheds from the original analysis and evaluated potential relationships between level of access and these data. Case studies follow, investigating demographic differences between five contiguous high-access clusters. While the trends that arose suggested that this threshold-focused accessibility metric used has some utility, stark differences between the clusters reinforce that a baseline level of proximity to resources is insufficient for generating equitable outcomes.

description: The integrated cross section $\widetildeσ$ for a special type of double polarized proton-deuteron scattering constitutes a null test forvtime-invariance violating but P-parity conserving effects. Using the Glauber theory for the $pd$ elastic scattering and different types of phenomenological T-odd P-even NN-interactions we show that the contribution of the lowest mass meson exchange, i.e. the $ρ$-meson, to the null-test signal $\widetildeσ$ vanishes. Variation of the cross section $\widetildeσ$ due to strong hadronic and Coulomb interaction is studied and its energy dependence is calculated in the GeV region.

Historic Preservation and the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard: Case Study in New Bern, NC
Creators: name: Wolff, Rachael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Climate change will lead to more frequent and powerful natural hazards that can threaten historic resources and the benefits they provide to communities. Integration of different planning efforts offers one strategy towards better understanding gaps between land use policies that support or hinder resilience of historic resources. While prior research has explored both disaster planning for historic preservation and the resilience of a community’s network of plans, these two topics have not yet been combined. This study builds upon previous applications of the Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard and applies it to historic properties at risk from flooding in New Bern, North Carolina. Using the 100-year floodplain and Hurricane Florence flood extent as the hazard zones and a sample of historic resources designated on the National Register as the planning districts, this research analyzes whether land use policies in New Bern’s network of plans increase or decrease resilience of historic properties. Findings suggest that New Bern’s historic resources are vulnerable to flood hazards since contradictory plans do not support their resilience. However, the deep, local ties of historic preservation planning provide an opportunity to enhance resilience and protect future resources.

description: The VITALISE ICT tools should provide convenient access to researchers. Therefore, the development of such tools should be based on well established user requirements. Within VITALISE, we have adopted an iterative and agile spiral model approach to ensure rapid feedback and gradual improvements. This document presents the User requirements that have been collected until M24 and that have provided insights and guidance to the developers of the ICT tools, under WP3. Requirements were explored on the topic curation and access of the datasets, user interface (UI) expectations, and more generally the expected functionality of the tools. In order to achieve eventual user acceptance, a multimethod approach was followed, tailoring the requirement elicitation methods to part of the ICT tool suite. These methods included a number of workshops, a literature review, ICT tools demonstrations, and live experimentation.  This document is the final version of the ICT tools user requirements and provides an overview of the requirements that are already implemented in the systems or are planned to be delivered until the end of the project. This deliverable provides an overview of the final system for all VITALISE ICT tools from the user perspective. It presents information about the Panel Management tool (the PaneLab), the AccelUp system for the uptake of Living Lab services by the Research and Innovation community, the RAI system for data analysis and sharing that will support also VITALISE Virtual Access and the newly added Sensors’ Integration system that is built to support the day-to-day research activities and data acquisition in Living Labs. It also includes information about the methodology used for requirement elicitation.

Improving patient outcomes through nutrition and practical approaches: A literature review
Creators: name: Fell, Christian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Malnutrition is a state of nutritional imbalance that diminishes body functions and health. Despite being largely preventable, malnutrition is still a pervasive problem affecting up to 27-60% of hospitalized patients globally and 33% in the United States. Malnutrition carries several noteworthy risks: increased length-of-stay, increased medical costs, increased readmission rates, a weakened immune system, delayed recovery, and higher mortality. 

This paper will answer the following: (1) what systemic issues persist and cultivate environments ideal for developing malnutrition in healthcare settings; (2) what realistic methods can be implemented to improve patient outcomes; (3) what real-world initiatives have been implemented to combat malnutrition; (4) how should efforts proceed in the future.

description: In order to achieve efficient parametric frequency comb generation in microresonators, external control of coupling between the cavity and the bus waveguide is necessary. However, for passive monolithically integrated structures, the coupling gap is fixed and cannot be externally controlled, making tuning the coupling inherently challenging. We design a dual-cavity coupled microresonator structure in which tuning one ring resonance frequency induces a change in the overall cavity coupling condition. We demonstrate wide extinction tunability with high efficiency by engineering the ring coupling conditions. Additionally, we note a distinct dispersion tunability resulting from coupling two cavities of slightly different path lengths, and present a new method of modal dispersion engineering. Our fabricated devices consist of two coupled high quality factor silicon nitride microresonators, where the extinction ratio of the resonances can be controlled using integrated microheaters. Using this extinction tunability, we optimize comb generation efficiency as well as provide tunability for avoiding higher-order mode-crossings, known for degrading comb generation. The device is able to provide a 110-fold improvement in the comb generation efficiency. Finally, we demonstrate open eye diagrams using low-noise phase-locked comb lines as a wavelength-division multiplexing channel.

description: We study the correspondence that connects the space of solutions of General Relativity (GR) with that of Ricci-based Gravity theories (RBGs) of the $f(R,Q)$ type in the metric-affine formulation, where $Q=R_{(μν)}R^{(μν)}$. We focus on the case of scalar matter and show that when one considers a free massless scalar in the GR frame, important simplifications arise that allow to establish the correspondence for arbitrary $f(R,Q)$ Lagrangian. We particularize the analysis to a quadratic $f(R,Q)$ theory and use the spherically symmetric, static solution of Jannis-Newman-Winicour as seed to generate new compact objects in our target theory. We find that two different types of solutions emerge, one representing naked singularities and another corresponding to asymmetric wormholes with bounded curvature scalars everywhere. The latter solutions, nonetheless, are geodesically incomplete.

description: Considerable demographic differences characterise the Berlin, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania region (the north east region), for example, regarding settlement patterns and age structures. These differences are also observed among women in the age group 50 years and older.The most conspicuous difference is population density. While Berlin is one of the most densely populated cities in Germany, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are the two most sparsely populated federal states.In these two states, the female population is on average older than in Berlin, a fact particularly true of rural areas. Continuing migration is a contributing factor not only to a rise in average age but also to further decreasing population density.An essential consideration for rural area health care provision are the distances people need to travel to reach services. Having (access to) a car is a key factor. Yet, as older women are less likely than men of the same age to have (access to) a car, public transport and other modern forms of mobility (dial-a-bus services, shared taxis) are gaining in importance.

description: Barley is the third leading feed grain grown in the United States. Production is concentrated in the Northern Plains and Pacific regions. The main uses of barley are for livestock feed and the manufacture of alcoholic beverages. Feed use often accounts for a half or more of total use. Barley is the most important grain product used by brewers. Exports are much smaller than domestic use and are highly variable. Barley yields have steadily risen, but production costs have also increased. Government loan rates and target prices for barley are based on those for corn. Governments payments to barley growers, while relatively small, have been a significant portion of net returns in some years.
High temperature dimensional reduction in Snyder space

description: In this paper, we formulate the statistical mechanics in Snyder space that supports the existence of a minimal length scale. We obtain the corresponding invariant Liouville volume which properly determines the number of microstates in the semiclassical regime. The results show that the number of accessible microstates drastically reduces at the high energy regime such that there is only one degree of freedom for a particle. Using the Liouville volume, we obtain the deformed partition function and we then study the thermodynamical properties of the ideal gas in this setup. Invoking the equipartition theorem, we show that $2/3$ of the degrees of freedom freeze at the high temperature regime when the thermal de Broglie wavelength becomes of the order of the Planck length. This reduction of the number of degrees of freedom suggests an effective dimensional reduction of the space from $3$ to $1$ at the Planck scale.

Community Ambassador Real Equality – Developing Spanish Bilingual, Bicultural COVID-19 Health Ambassadors in Rural Western North Carolina: A Case Study
Creators: name: Robinson, Hannah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: In response to the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 in the Hispanic/Latino community in Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey counties, Spanish-English bilingual, bicultural residents were recruited to serve as Community Ambassador Real Equality (CARE Team) ambassadors to develop and disseminate COVID-19 public health guidance in partnership with Partners Aligned Toward Health (PATH), Mountain Community Health Partnership (MCHP), and faculty and students from UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health’s MPH Program in Asheville. Professionals from the Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC), Yancey County Emergency Management, Pisgah Legal Services, and WNC Health Network provide additional training and relevant resources to the ambassadors. 
The CARE initiative is using the Boot Camp Translation process, an evidence-based community engagement model that brings community members and professionals together to create and share culturally responsive and relevant health messaging to the local community (Westfall et al., 2016). The Boot Camp Translation model has been adapted to keep pace with a rapidly evolving pandemic. In our adaptation, the program builds relationships and channels of communication between health professionals and the Hispanic/Latino community. PATH and partners strive to engage community members as valued partners with important perspectives throughout the process. The goal of the initiative is to address the disproportionate spread of COVID-19 in the Hispanic/Latino communities, while simultaneously decreasing the overall spread of the virus. The long-term program aim is to increase service providers’ cultural humility and responsiveness, establish channels of communication between the Hispanic/Latino community and local agencies, and strengthen Hispanic/Latino leadership in the Avery, Mitchell, and Yancey community.

description: We introduce the differential and the total decay widths of a resonant (Gamow) state decaying into a continuum of stable states. When the resonance has several decay modes, we introduce the corresponding partial decay widths and branching fractions. In the approximation that the resonance is sharp, the expressions for the differential, partial and total decay widths of a resonant state bear a close resemblance with the Golden Rule. In such approximation, the branching fractions of a resonant state are the same as the standard branching fractions obtained by way of the Golden Rule. We also introduce dimensionless decay constants along with their associated differential decay constants, and we express experimentally measurable quantities such as the branching fractions and the energy distributions of decay events in terms of those dimensionless decay constants.

description:      Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, in the United States.  Colorectal cancer screening decreases mortality.  Uninsured patients are less likely to be screened.  Screening interventions must be implemented to be effective and less is known about the implementation process, in community clinics that serve the poor.
     Implementation science is the study of methods that promote the uptake of research findings into routine practice in an effort to improve health services.  A feasibility study has been proposed to evaluate implementation of a multi-level intervention and also to determine the effect that a provider reminder and patient education has on screening colonoscopy rates.  A hybrid study has been designed to correlate implementation outcomes with clinical outcomes and a randomized component will look specifically at the impact of patient education.
     This feasibility study was constructed for adaptability to other clinic sites that may have budgetary constraints limiting effectiveness research.  Its potential impact may be to further define the importance of implementation and the impact on colorectal cancer screening in the underserved population.  Results of this preliminary trial are expected to lead to additional translational studies related to cancer prevention and in collaboration with formal research institutes and community partners.

description: Social determinants of health are the conditions where people live, work and play, including poverty status, that can impact overall population health. In Cumberland County, North Carolina, 17.6% of individuals are living below the poverty line as compared to 16.8% overall in North Carolina and 15.1% in the United States. This proposal describes an Accountable Care Community that will decrease the proportion of individuals living in poverty and improve the health of Cumberland County residents through policy and programmatic interventions. This proposal also describes how the Accountable Care Community may implement an after school high-school enrichment program and reintroduce state earned income tax credits as potential interventions. Together, these interventions have the potential to positively impact economic stability and the health of county residents. This Accountable Care Community will be led by the county Department of Public Health and will rely on the support of numerous local partners.

description: Graphene covered metal nanoparticles constitute a novel type of hybrid materials, which provide a unique platform to study plasmonic effects, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and metal-graphene interactions at the nanoscale. Such a hybrid material is fabricated by transferring graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition onto closely spaced gold nanoparticles produced on a silica wafer. The morphology and physical properties of nanoparticle-supported graphene is investigated by atomic force microscopy, optical reflectance spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), and confocal Raman spectroscopy. This study shows that the graphene Raman peaks are enhanced by a factor which depends on the excitation wavelength, in accordance with the surface plasmon resonance of the gold nanoparticles, and also on the graphene-nanoparticle distance which is tuned by annealing at moderate temperatures. The observed SERS activity is correlated to the nanoscale corrugation of graphene. STM and STS measurements show that the local density of electronic states in graphene is modulated by the underlying gold nanoparticles.

description: The United States has a long history of Government involvement in the sugar industry, first in 1789 to finance Government operations, and then since 1894 to maintain a viable domestic sugar industry by protecting it during periods of low sugar prices. Most recently, the Agriculture and Food Act of 1981 mandated a price support program for the 1982 through 1985 sugarcane and sugarbeet crops. Sugar use has continued its decade-long downtrend as a result of replacement by less costly corn sweeteners and noncaloric sweeteners in many food and beverage products. Domestic consumption of sugar has declined 20 percent between 1977 and 1983, domestic production has increased, and world production remains at surplus levels as sugar remains one of the major sources of revenue for developing countries. World sugar prices are currently depressed, averaging 4 cents a pound in August 1984.

description: Utilizing a silicon nanobeam optomechanical crystal, we investigate the attractor diagram arising from the radiation pressure interaction between a localized optical cavity at $λ= 1552$nm and a mechanical resonance at $ω/2π= 3.72$GHz. At a temperature of $T \approx 10$K, highly nonlinear driving of mechanical motion is observed via continuous wave optical pumping. Introduction of a time-dependent (modulated) optical pump is used to steer the system towards an otherwise inaccessible dynamically stable attractor in which mechanical self-oscillation occurs for an optical pump red-detuned from the cavity resonance. An analytical model incorporating thermo-optic effects due to optical absorption heating is developed, and found to accurately predict the measured device behavior.

Search for W' decaying to tau lepton and neutrino in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

description: The first search for a heavy charged vector boson in the final state with a tau lepton and a neutrino is reported, using 19.7 inverse femtobarns of LHC data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. A signal would appear as an excess of events in kinematic regions where the standard model background is low. No excess is observed. Limits are set on a model in which the W' decays preferentially to fermions of the third generation. These results substantially extend previous constraints on this model. Masses below 2.0 to 2.7 TeV are excluded, depending on the model parameters. In addition, the existence of a W' boson with universal fermion couplings is excluded at 95% confidence level, for W' masses below 2.7 TeV. For further reinterpretation a model-independent limit on potential signals for various transverse mass thresholds is also presented.

description: Seller's reticence on hidden defects can be approached in different ways. In this thesis, I will deal with this issue by investigating the relation between hidden defects and the principle of good faith in the field of sales. The first part is devoted to Roman Law: it highlights the role that good faith has assumed in the elaboration of the emptio vendito and also in the specific evolution of protection against hidden defects through the actio empti. After dealing with these issues in Roman legal experience, I will proceed to examine current Chinese law in a perspective of diachronic comparison, aiming at verifying to what extent Roman jurisprudential solutions on this topic can inspire Chinese legislators. The second part of the thesis will be devoted to the legal protection against hidden defect in relation to the role of good faith in Chinese law, specifically addressing the issue of seller?s reticence on hidden defects.
