Micromobility In Nyc: 2025, Mike Owen Benediktsson Phd, Xuemeng Li Phd Jan 2026

Micromobility In Nyc: 2025, Mike Owen Benediktsson Phd, Xuemeng Li Phd

Publications and Research

This report offers a statistical snapshot of micromobility across the city over a three-week period in late 2025. Our team of trained researchers systematically observed over 1,700 micromobility vehicles at 155 separate intersections across the five boroughs of New York City. Our primary findings describe overall patterns in the demographics of micromobility and vehicle behavior at city intersections, and show how this behavior is shaped by variations in infrastructure as well as individual-level attributes.


Carrasquillo V. 303 W. 122nd St. Hous. Dev. Fund Corp. Jan 2026

Carrasquillo V. 303 W. 122nd St. Hous. Dev. Fund Corp.

All Decisions

The Appellate Division affirmed the denial of the tenant's motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent the sale of co-op shares or termination of the proprietary lease. The court found the tenant failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits, primarily by not proving the landlord breached the warranty of habitability; cited violations were largely corrected, and the tenant denied access for repairs. Furthermore, the notice to cure was deemed valid. As the tenant defaulted on the loan agreement, the landlord was permitted under UCC § 9-610[a] to sell the shares or terminate the lease.

Rock Park Realty Llc V. Mcdonald

All Decisions

In this licensee holdover, the tenant, who was evicted after a default judgment, filed a post-eviction Order to Show Cause seeking restoration. The court granted the tenant's motion, vacating the default judgment and warrant, and restoring the tenant to possession. The court found a reasonable excuse for the default based on the tenant not receiving notice, applying a totality of the circumstances analysis for CPLR § 5015(a)(1). A potentially meritorious defense of succession rights was also established. The decision emphasized the court's preference for deciding matters on their merits rather than by default.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a prevalent breast cancer subtype with the lowest 5-year survival. Several factors influence outcomes, but their inherent molecular and cellular heterogeneity are increasingly acknowledged as crucial determinants. Here, we report on the spatio-molecular heterogeneity underlying TNBC tumors in a retrospective, treatment-naive cohort with differential prognoses (17 good prognoses [GPx] >15-year survival and 15 poor prognoses [PPx] < 3-year survival]) profiled using GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler. Analyses reveal that epithelial and microenvironment (TME) states are transcriptionally distinct between groups. Invasive GPx epithelia show an increase in immune transcripts, with a more immune-rich TME (via IF). PPx epithelia, in contrast, are more metabolically and translationally active, with a mesenchymal/fibrotic TME. Pre-cancerous epithelia in PPx exhibit a presence of aggressiveness, marked by increased EMT signaling and complement activity. We identify distinct epithelial gene signatures for PPx and GPx that can accurately classify diagnostic samples and likely inform therapy.


Modulation Of The Cgas-Sting Inflammation Pathway In Mouse Models Of Accelerated And Slowed Aging, Benjamin David Heckman Jan 2026

Modulation Of The Cgas-Sting Inflammation Pathway In Mouse Models Of Accelerated And Slowed Aging, Benjamin David Heckman

ETDs from 2020-2029

Chronic sterile inflammation (inflammaging) is a core pillar of aging, and the cGAS-STING innate immune pathway has emerged as a key driver of this process. However, how this pathway intersects with systemic endocrine signaling remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated the intersection of endocrine signaling and cGAS-STING activation using two complementary mouse models with opposing lifespan phenotypes: a short-lived, liver-specific glucagon receptor knockout (LKO) mouse and a long-lived growth hormone-releasing hormone knockout (GHRH-KO) mouse. We demonstrate that despite presenting with a metabolically healthy phenotype, female LKO mice exhibited a significantly reduced lifespan. We link this premature mortality to a sex …


Examining Pain- Related Stigma And Sources Of Resilience In Children With Disorders Of Gut-Brain Interaction, Tolulope Adetayo Jan 2026

Examining Pain- Related Stigma And Sources Of Resilience In Children With Disorders Of Gut-Brain Interaction, Tolulope Adetayo

ETDs from 2020-2029

Background. Painful disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) affect approximately one in five children. In addition to functional impairments, DGBI increase risk for felt stigma (FS) from providers, school personnel, family members, and peers. Children with DGBI may also belong to other minoritized groups that intersect with pain-related FS. However, little is known about how intersectionality impacts the stigma and pain experiences of youth. Further, little is known about the protective capabilities of psychosocial resources (e.g., social support and hope) against FS. Thus, the current study aimed to investigate the impact of FS and its potential moderators in a sample of …


Ultrafast Terahertz Spectroscopy And The Suppression Of Superconductivity In Strained Iron Selenide Below 1 Kelvin, Tracy Glen Hastings Jan 2026

Ultrafast Terahertz Spectroscopy And The Suppression Of Superconductivity In Strained Iron Selenide Below 1 Kelvin, Tracy Glen Hastings

ETDs from 2020-2029

We report on terahertz time-domain spectroscopy measurements of iron selenide thin films of various thicknesses grown on a magnesium oxide substrate, focusing on the frequency-dependent complex conductivity in the range of 0.25 - 7 THz. By an- alyzing films with and without an approximately 100 nm thick Se capping layer, we examined the role of oxidation in the suppression of superconductivity. X-ray photo- electron spectroscopy data confirmed that oxidation was effectively mitigated, yet the films exhibited insulating behavior down to 200 mK, a temperature range that has not been extensively studied in this system. Our results indicate that the suppression …


Posterior Cerebellar Lobe Deviations And Social Cognition In Individuals With Psychosis And Their Unaffected Relatives, Andreea Maria Stanica Jan 2026

Posterior Cerebellar Lobe Deviations And Social Cognition In Individuals With Psychosis And Their Unaffected Relatives, Andreea Maria Stanica

ETDs from 2020-2029

Social cognition deficits observed in psychotic disorders contribute to functional impairments. The cerebellum has been identified as a critical brain region involved in social cognitive processes, but the relationship between cerebellar structural deviations and social cognition in individuals with psychosis (probands) and their unaffected relatives remains unclear. Using normative modeling, this study examined cerebellar volume deviations in probands and their unaffected first-degree relatives and investigated associations with social cognitive and motor performance. Probands exhibited significant theory of mind deficits compared to relatives. Probands showed negative deviations in anterior cerebellar lobe relative to the norm, whereas relatives did not. Deviations in …

Exploring Criminality Through A Developmental Lens: Contextual Effects From Childhood To Emerging Adulthood, Abigail Jeanette Anderson Jan 2026

Exploring Criminality Through A Developmental Lens: Contextual Effects From Childhood To Emerging Adulthood, Abigail Jeanette Anderson

ETDs from 2020-2029

Adolescent delinquency is a key predictor of later criminal behaviors and is associated with negative outcomes across education, employment, and health. Despite extensive research, gaps remain regarding the interplay of individual- and context-level factors in the development of delinquency, as well as the reliance on cross-sectional or retrospective designs. Guided by a social-ecological framework, the present dissertation examines how family, school, and neighborhood contexts interact with individual behaviors to shape pathways toward delinquency and adult criminality across childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood. The first study investigated the cascading effects of paternal engagement, parental aggravation, and early child behavior problems in …


Reproductive System Variation In Tropical Red Macroalgae, Taylor M. Williams Jan 2026

Reproductive System Variation In Tropical Red Macroalgae, Taylor M. Williams

ETDs from 2020-2029

The reproductive system encompasses the relative rates of sexual versus clonal reproduction and is responsible for partitioning genetic diversity within and among populations. However, the quantification of these rates remains limited in natural populations and has primarily focused on animals and angiosperms. This knowledge gap is particularly acute among tropical macroalgae. This dissertation addresses this by focusing on the cryptogenic invader Chondria tumulosa in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument and the invasive species Acanthophora spicifera across the Hawaiian Archipelago, Australia, and Guam. For Chondria we developed nine microsatellite loci and found a dominance of tetrasporophytes, high clonal rates, and strong …


Amino Acid Pet Tracers For Cancer Imaging And Response Assessment, Ugur Akca Jan 2026

Amino Acid Pet Tracers For Cancer Imaging And Response Assessment, Ugur Akca

ETDs from 2020-2029

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and high-grade glioma (HGG) pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their aggressive biology and the limitations of [¹⁸F]FDG PET, which suffers from nonspecific uptake in inflammatory tissues, complicating differentiation of viable tumor from treatment-related effects. Computed Tomography, while strong for structural changes, has limited soft tissue contrast for distinguishing tumor from inflammation, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, despite superior soft tissue resolution, struggles with differentiating active tumor from post-treatment changes like edema or necrosis due to nonspecific enhancement. These challenges highlight the necessity for complementary and advanced imaging strategies for improved diagnosis and monitoring. This …


Bidirectional Effects Of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation On Insomnia And Brain Health In Breast Cancer, Melissa Van Trang Do Jan 2026

Bidirectional Effects Of Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation On Insomnia And Brain Health In Breast Cancer, Melissa Van Trang Do

ETDs from 2020-2029

Breast cancer remains the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide, with over 2.3 million new cases annually. While advances in treatment have improved survival, many women continue to suffer from persistent insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction that collectively impair quality of life and recovery. These interrelated symptoms share common biological underpinnings, including autonomic dysregulation, vagal withdrawal, and chronic inflammation. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a non-invasive, bioelectronic therapy that modulates afferent vagal pathways via auricular branches of the vagus and trigeminal nerves. By engaging central autonomic and neuroimmune circuits, including the nucleus tractus solitarius and …


Sample Preparation Effects On Liquid Scintillation Counting Quench, Jason Rusch Jan 2026

Sample Preparation Effects On Liquid Scintillation Counting Quench, Jason Rusch

ETDs from 2020-2029

Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC) is a critical technique in operational health physics, particularly for contamination surveys. However, common, expedient sample preparation choices often introduce unpredictable levels of quench, compromising the accuracy of results. This thesis investigates the impact of common preparation variables including vial material, cap lining, solid sample matrix presence, cocktail volume, and radioactivity. The impact of these sample preparation variables were evaluated using the quench methods on two fundamentally distinct commercial LSC systems, the Perkin Elmer Tri-Carb 4910TR (employing tSIE correction) and the Hidex 600 SL (employing TDCR correction). A total of 320 samples were evaluated on each …
