Data Localization And Government Access To Data Stored Abroad: Discussion Paper 2, Shanzay Pervaiz, Alex Joel

Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series

The Centre for Information Policy Leadership (CIPL) and Tech, Law & Security Program (TLS) have been collaborating on a project regarding data localization policies. As data localization is increasingly gaining traction, we seek to understand the different dimensions of the impacts and effectiveness of these policies. As part of this collaboration—CIPL published a paper on the “real life” business, societal, and consumer impacts of data localization policies and TLS published the present paper on whether data localization measures are legally effective in achieving one of their main ostensible purposes, i.e., to prevent foreign government access to data.

With data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we showcase improvements to the MIT Quick Look Pipeline (QLP) through the discovery and validation of a multiplanet system around M dwarf TOI 4342 (T_mag = 11.032, M⋆ = 0.63 M_{⊙, R⋆ = 0.60 R⊙, Teff = 3900 K, d = 61.54 pc). With updates to QLP, including a new multiplanet search, as well as faster cadence data from TESS's First Extended Mission, we discovered two sub-Neptunes (Rb = 2.266 (+0.038)/(-0.038) R⊕ and Rc = 2.415 (+0.043)/(-0.040) R …}

Impact Of In Utero Drug Exposure On Neonates Requiring Ecmo: A Retrospective Cohort Study, Hallie Walther, Aric Schadler, Karen Garlitz, John Anthony Bauer, Lindsay Kohler, Erika Waldsmith, Hubert O. Ballard

UK CARES Faculty Publications

The incidence of in utero drug exposure (IUDE) and neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) utilization have both increased over the past decade. However, there are no studies to date that examine the impact that IUDE has on neonates requiring ECMO. In this retrospective cohort study, we compared the clinic course and outcomes of neonates who were placed on ECMO with IUDE vs. neonates without IUDE. Analysis included data extracted from medical records from all neonatal ECMO runs between January 2014 and January 2021 at the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital. A total of 56 neonatal patients were placed on ECMO …

When Hay Was King: Energy History And Economic Nationalism In The Nineteenth-Century United States, Ariel Ron

History Faculty Publications

Hay was a linchpin of the early industrial energy regime. It was the primary fodder for working horses, who became more rather than less important over the 1800s. Though largely ignored by historians, hay was of comparable value to cotton and wheat in the nineteenth-century United States. The crop’s historiographical invisibility is partly due to its relatively informal and decidedly subglobal production and exchange patterns. Whereas cotton and wheat exports passed through customhouses and institutionalized exchanges that carefully recorded trade volumes, hay was almost never exported and often underwent no market transaction at all, instead being used as an intermediate …

Editorial: Structure And Function Of Chloroplasts, Volume Iii, Hongbo Gao, Alistair J. Mccormick, Rebecca Roston, Yan Lu

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Chloroplasts are endosymbiotic organelles derived from cyanobacteria. They have a double envelope membrane, including the outer envelope and the inner envelope. A complex membrane system, thylakoids, exists inside the chloroplast. It is the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The stroma is the main site of the carbon fixation reactions. Although photosynthesis is a very complicated process with many proteins involved, there are many other important processes that occur in chloroplasts, including the regulation of photosynthesis, the biogenesis and maintenance of the structures, carbohydrate, lipid, tetrapyrrole, amino acid, and isoprenoid metabolism, production of some phytohormones, production of specialized metabolites, …

Why Some People Are Hesitant To Receive Covid-19 Boosters: A Systematic Review, Yam B. Limbu, Bruce A. Huhmann

Department of Marketing Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and transitions to an endemic stage, booster vaccines will play an important role in personal and public health. However, convincing people to take boosters continues to be a key obstacle. This study systematically analyzed research that examined the predictors of COVID-19 booster vaccine hesitancy. A search of PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus uncovered 42 eligible studies. Globally, the average COVID-19 booster vaccination hesitancy rate was 30.72%. Thirteen key factors influencing booster hesitancy emerged from the literature: demographics (gender, age, education, income, occupation, employment status, ethnicity, and marital status), geographical influences (country, region, …

Nelson

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

While the eddy covariance (EC) technique is a well-established method for measuring water fluxes (i.e., evaporation or 'evapotranspiration’, ET), the measurement is susceptible to many uncertainties. One such issue is the potential underestimation of ET when relative humidity (RH) is high (>70%), due to low-pass filtering with some EC systems. Yet, this underestimation for different types of EC systems (e.g. open-path or closed-path sensors) has not been characterized for synthesis datasets such as the widely used FLUXNET2015 dataset. Here, we assess the RH-associated underestimation of latent heat fluxes (LE, or ET) from different EC systems for 163 sites in …

Prism Vol. 10, No. 2, Center For Complex Operations

PRISM (Full PDF Issues)

This issue of PRISM—titled “Forward Defense”—examines the security transformations taking place in these diverse but aligned countries. As distinct as these nine countries are they are each reinforcing, or in some cases rebuilding, their armed forces and reviving the Total Defense or Comprehensive Defense concepts they embraced during the Cold War. Total or Comprehensive Defense is a strategic approach that recognizes the multidimensional threat posed by autocratic countries and the existential threat to the liberal, rules-based world order. It understands that effective deterrence depends on both resistance and resilience and codes those into the respective security and defense strategies.

Stellar bars are key drivers of secular evolution in galaxies and can be effectively studied using rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) images, which trace the underlying stellar mass and are less impacted by dust and star formation than rest-frame UV or optical images. We leverage the power of JWST CEERS NIRCam images to present the first quantitative identification and characterization of stellar bars at z > 1 based on rest-frame NIR F444W images of high resolution (∼1.3 kpc at z ∼ 1-3). We identify stellar bars in these images using quantitative criteria based on ellipse fits. For this pilot study, we present six …

Baku Mathematical Journal

The present paper studies the boundary-value problem in a finite segment generating with the discontinuous Sturm-Liouville equation and periodic(antiperiodic) boundary conditions. We prove completeness of the system of eigenfunctions and generalized eigenfunctions in the space L2(0, π; ρ), obtain the asymptotic formulas for the solution and prove the asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of the periodic and antiperiodic boundary value problems

Elastic-Plastic Problem For A Perforated Plate Under Transversal Shear, Azerbaijan State Oil And Industry University, A. K. Mekhdiev, R. K. Mekhtiev

Baku Mathematical Journal

The problem of solving the problem of the transverse shear of a plate along the edges of the holes and weakened by a two-periodic system of rectilinear through cracks with plastic end zones, collinear to the abscissa and ordinate axes of unequal length, is considered. General representations of solutions are constructed that describe a class of problems with a doubly periodic distribution of moments outside circular holes and straight-line cracks with end zones of plastic deformations. Satisfying the boundary conditions, the solution of the problem of the plate shear theory is reduced to two infinite systems of algebraic equations and …

Boundedness Of The Discrete Hilbert Transform In Discrete Hölder Spaces, Baku State University, R. A. Aliev, L. G. Samadova

Baku Mathematical Journal

The Hilbert transform plays an important role in the theory and practice of signal processing operations in continuous system theory. The Hilbert transform was the motivation for the development of modern harmonic analysis. Its discrete version is also widely used in many areas of science and technology and plays an important role in digital signal processing. The essential motivation behind thinking about discrete transforms is that experimental data are most frequently not taken in a continuous manner but sampled at discrete time values. Since much of the data collected in both the physical sciences and engineering are discrete, the discrete …

Phase Transformations In Pipeline Gas Transportation And Methods To Prevent Emerging Complications, E. M. Abbasov, G. M. Salmanova, G. M. Panahov

Baku Mathematical Journal

The current methods for prevention of problems in gas gathering, field preparation and transportation systems, as a rule, do not consider the joint effect of such processes as gas flow in the pipeline in case of phase transitions, accumulation of liquid in the pipeline cavity, heat exchange of the pipeline with the surrounding environment. The studies assessed the barodynamic factors and the component composition of gas, affecting hydrate formation, taking into account the complex effect of the processes involved in the operation of gas pipelines. The technological solution for gas pipeline cleaning by specially developed polymeric gel composition is proposed.

Law School As Straight Space, Swethaa S. Ballakrishnen

Fordham Law Review

In honoring Professor Deborah L. Rhode’s commitment to making space for the marginal in legal education and clarifying the “no-problem” problems in our midst, Professor Ballakrishnen’s Essay focuses on one strain of nonnormative experience—that of genderqueer persons—to clarify the ways in which law schools reinforce linear hierarchies of identity and performance. Professor Ballakrishnen catalogues ethnographic student interview data to highlight perspectives of genderqueer law students, the result of which suggests that “normal” professional practices in law school reinforce the rigidity of the gender binary. They conclude by suggesting that paying attention to these student subpopulations is crucial to reform legal …

The Drivers Of Successful Regional Expansion: Evidence From Multinational Corporations In Latin America During 1990–2005, Raju Parakkal, Joseph Johnson, Sherry Bartz-Marvez

College of Humanities and Sciences Faculty Papers

Multinational firms that enter regional country blocks, such as Latin America, often choose a beachhead country, i.e. an entry point, as a launchpad into other countries in the region. While some recent scholarship examines beachhead decisions, research that explicitly examines beach- head choice in a regional context and the subsequent speed of expansion and firm performance in the region is surprisingly absent in international business literature. To address this gap, we examine whether the beachhead choice affects the speed and performance of regional expan- sion of multinational firms. We also analyse whether a firm’s regional speed and performance are dependent …

Word Analysis: Contemplating The Word La Madre To Develop An Approach For The Instruction Of Cultural Perspectives, Gregory De La Piedra

Dimensions

Word Analysis is an approach to teach second language (L2) students about cultural perspectives which are understood collectively as the ideas, values, beliefs, and experiences many native speakers have regarding cultural domains within their own cultures. Word Analysis is anchored on the relationships between language and communication, and language and culture. The present study researches the history behind the dual value of the term “la madre” [mother] in Mexican Spanish to deliver a practical method that language instructors easily could easily incorporate within their materials to teach L2 culture, or that publishers could integrate within their textbooks. The primary purpose …

Magnetic Nanocomposites For The Remote Activation Of Sulfate Radicals For The Removal Of Rhodamine B, Pranto Paul, Marissa Nicholson, J. Zach Hilt

UK CARES Faculty Publications

The widespread presence of numerous organic contaminants in water poses a threat to the ecological environment and human health. Magnetic nanocomposites exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) have a unique ability for magnetically mediated energy delivery (MagMED) resulting from the embedded magnetic nanoparticles; this localized energy delivery and associated chemical and thermal effects are a potential method for removing contaminants from water. This work developed a novel magnetic nanocomposite—a polyacrylamide-based hydrogel loaded with iron oxide nanoparticles. For this magnetic nanocomposite, persulfate activation and the contamination removal in water were investigated. Magnetic nanocomposites were exposed to AMF with a model …

Faculty Research 2023

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: As the obesity epidemic continues, the understanding of macronutrient influence on central nervous system function is critical for understanding diet-induced obesity and potential therapeutics, particularly in light of the increased sugar content in processed foods. Previous research showed mixed effects of sucrose feeding on body weight gain but has yet to reveal insight into the impact of sucrose on hypothalamic functioning. Here, we explore the impact of liquid sucrose feeding for 12 weeks on body weight, body composition, caloric intake, and hypothalamic AgRP neuronal function and synaptic plasticity.

METHODS: Patch-clamp electrophysiology of hypothalamic AgRP neurons, metabolic phenotyping and food …
