Imaginaries and contradictions of agriculture as rehab in the carceral state: a critical evaluation
Creators: name: Alexander, Elizabeth Zoe
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines discursive and material practices of coupling nature with redemption and rehabilitation in the carceral state through sustainability initiatives, particularly agriculture education programs. I explore scholarly and popular debates surrounding the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) and U.S. mass incarceration; sustainability and its ties to agrarianism; and the growing field of “green criminology” and carceral reform, or “carceral humanism” to suggest the significance of their intersections for how we imagine the work of carceral agriculture education programs. I then attempt to historicize literature demonstrating contradictions in the sustainability movement and mass incarceration by evaluating them through debates surrounding the Physiocrats, Thomas Jefferson, as well as commodity fetishism (specifically Henri Lefebvre’s specific reference to fetishizing nature) to explore the debates’ influences and significances, as well as how we might rely on these debates to think about the role of carceral agriculture education programs differently. I then examine four distinct carceral agriculture education programs, how their goals and methods differ or relate, as well as their use of and reliance on agriculture to achieve said goals. From there, I trace a longer history of agriculture at Rikers Island to show the contradictory history of agrarian imaginaries versus humanitarian crises at the New York City jail. Finally, I argue that the example of Rikers should encourage us to consider such programs in the context of reform projects more broadly, as well as look to some of the programs’ aspirations to consider how they can be taken up differently.
Development of an adaptive serious game for assessing cognitive engagement

description: Cognitive Engagement is defined as "The act of beginning and carrying on of activity with a sense of emotional involvement or commitment and the deliberate application of effort. Therefore, the concept of 'cognitive engagement in rehabilitation' is operationally defined here as a deliberate effort and commitment to working toward the goals of rehabilitation interventions, typically demonstrated through active, effort-full participation in therapy and cooperation with treatment providers" [1]. Neurorehabilitation robots have been used with tremendous success to restore and improve motor recovery. However, cognitive engagement, which is an important aspect of the therapy has been partially incorporated into the current therapeutic strategies. The most common methods of assessing cognitive engagement such as self-reports or physiological signals are either subjective or compromised by the disease itself. Hence, these measurements have limited usability in the therapy. There is thus an unmet need to objectively quantify cognitive engagement and integrate it into adaptive rehabilitation strategies.  In this work, we developed a serious game based on Go No-Go paradigm with built-in adaptability. The serious game is designed on the concept of Multiple Object Tracking (MOT), where the participant has to focus on multiple dots on the screen and distinguish between tracking and distractor dots by a Go or No-Go stimulus. The game is adaptive, and adapts the game's speed and the number of dots, by accuracy and reaction time respectively. We aim to test robust adaptive strategies and test their outcome on therapy sessions. We observe parameters such as speed, accuracy, reaction time, count and distance moved to try and gauge how adaptability affects the game.We aim to draw reliable inferences and better understand the factors that affect adaptability. We know that serious games play a vital role in rehabilitation, as they help add liveliness and entertainment in repetitive exercises in therapy sessions and help the patient achieve their goals. Cognitive Engagement plays a crucial role in serious games, as they are the factor that helps keep patients engrossed in the game and adaptation allows us to make sure that the levels of Cognitive Engagement stay up.

“They’re stealing my opportunity to be a father”: the child support system and state intervention in the family
Creators: name: Battle, Brittany Pearl
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Currently there are just under 7 million custodial parents with formal child support orders in the child support system which serves approximately 22 million children or more than one in four in the United States. While these orders regulate the ways that non-custodial parents financially support their children, child support payments and related involvement with the system do much more than impact household finances. Scholars have long explored the effects of child support system involvement both on relationships between custodial and non-custodial parents and between non-custodial parents and their children. Others have examined the impact of financial and criminal justice related collateral consequences. The ways that parents experience and navigate the system has also been a main area of study, with recent literature primarily focusing on low-income non-custodial fathers. To date, however, no work has explored the experience of child support system involvement from inside the system, specifically in the courtroom and enforcement agencies. As a result, the literature is missing a direct analysis of interactions between parents and staff, as well as the bureaucratic mechanisms of enforcement. In this project, I use ethnographic data from a system in Virginia to examine the implications of child support system involvement for parenthood and family. I conducted observations of approximately 300 support hearings and 75+ hours in child support related sites. I also conducted 50 formal and informal interviews with parents and individuals working in the system (i.e. judges, mediators, attorneys, and enforcement staff), as well as an analysis of a diverse collection of cultural artifacts (i.e. federal, state, and municipal statutes; news articles and video clips; and political rhetoric). I use a cognitive sociological framework to analyze the data, focusing on symbolic systems of meaning, cultural norms, (in)attention, and filters of perception and relevance. My findings illuminate the collateral consequences of enforcement, the ways that stigma and shame are pervasive in social interactions, and how parents both resist and reinforce the system’s bureaucratic apparatus. Ultimately, I demonstrate that the child support system functions as a massive neoliberal state intervention into the family situated at the intersection of the welfare and criminal justice systems which reinforces cultural messages about deservingness, morality, responsibility, and the desirability of traditional family structures.

Synthesis, characterization and applications of polymeric emulsions for dual-drug delivery

Year: 2019

description: Developing a novel smart material with tunable properties and multiple functionalities is of great interest in scientific community. Janus particles exhibit many unique chemical and physical properties due to their two distinct surfaces. They are in great demand for diverse applications across many fields including pharmaceutical, electronics, biomedical engineering (affinity with human endothelial cells was reported), magnetolythic therapy, etc. As a drug delivery carrier, Janus particles offer a platform for co-encapsulating drugs with different solubility and release kinetics. This study investigated the effects of solvents and surfactants on nanosuspensions formulation by emulsion-diffusion method. Model Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II drug, ibuprofen was used in the preparation of nanosuspensions using three different water miscible solvents and blends of different nonionic surfactants. Surfactants with similar chemical structures but opposing hydrophilicities act synergistically. This study shows that for any set of low HLB and high HLB surfactants systems, combination of surfactants with HLB value near the mid-point produces most efficient and stable nanosuspensions. It is observed that for any combination of nonionic surfactants, the smallest particle size is achieved when surfactants with equal amounts are incorporated.We have also performed a different study focused on a novel method of double emulsion for coencapsulation and staggered release of hydrophobic and hydrophilic drug from PLGA/PCL Janus particles were investigated. Acetaminophen (APAP) and Naproxen (NPX) were chosen as the model hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug pair for encapsulation method and drug release. Due to its poor oil solubility and tendency to escape to the outer aqueous phase, it needs a special modification during the emulsification process. Three different strategies were employed for incorporating hydrophilic drugs: a) O/W emulsion with partially-water miscible solvent, b) O/W emulsion with methanol as a co-solvent, and c) W/O/W double emulsion. Encapsulation efficiencies, percent drug loading and differential drug release kinetics were measured and compared for different methods of synthesis. It was observed that the double emulsion method resulted in the highest encapsulation efficiency, drug loading of the hydrophilic drug and highest concentration of drug release over the period of time.

Dispersion in hydrologic and coastal environments
Creators: name: Brooks, Norman H.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1972

description: This report summarizes the results of a five-year laboratory research project on various flow phenomena of importance to transport and dispersion of pollutants in hydrologic and coastal environments. The results are useful in two general ways: first, to facilitate the prediction of ambient water quality from effluent characteristics in various water environments; and secondly, to provide the basis for design of systems (like outfalls) required to meet given ambient water quality requirements.

The results for buoyant jets may be used for the design of waste-water outfalls in oceans, reservoirs, lakes, and large estuaries. Particular emphasis is given to line sources (or slot jets) which represent long multiple-outlet diffusers, which are necessary for all large discharges to get high dilutions.

For reservoirs which are density stratified, the results include formulations for prediction of selective withdrawal, and a simulation procedure for predicting reservoir mixing by systems which pump water from one level to the other.

For application to rivers and estuaries, laboratory flume experiments were made to measure transverse mixing of buoyant or heavy tracer flows, as well as for neutral-density flows.

Abstracts for all publications and reports resulting from the project are given as an appendix to the report.

Body with several long brown setae with fringed but not expanded apices, up to about 32 microns long on thorax and abdominal tergites I–IV, arising from normal setae insertions; sternal setae acute.
Material studied. Holotype female, MEXICO. Laguna District, 25.x.1917 (USNM). Several females from INDIA, THAILAND, NEW CALEDONIA and NORTHERN AUSTRALIA (ANIC).
Comments. Described originally from Mexico in association with extensive damage to a crop of cotton, and subsequently recorded from various places around the Caribbean (Mound & Marullo, 1996), this species is probably widespread on its major host plants, various weedy species of Sida. It has been recorded on these plants both from central India (Bhatti et al., 1999), from across northern Australia (Mound 2002), and Galapagos Is. (Ecuador) (Hoddle & Mound 2011). It is closely related to N. burungae and N. signifer, but has the mouth cone unusually long and is further distinguished by the characters indicated in the key above. It is not yet recorded from Brazil, but is likely to be present.

Remarks. Only one male is in good condition (Fig. 16A–C), and a female (Fig. 17D) retains the left cheliped and two left ambulatory legs, but otherwise, nine carapaces (3 ƏƏ, 3 $$, 3 ovig. $$), the detached three chelipeds and some ambulatory legs remained in a vial. The setosity of the carapace dorsal surface is quite similar to the good male specimen, but in most of the specimens the anterolateral teeth are not so distinctly triangular in dorsal view, but tipped with a more or less recurved sharp tubercle. The remaining chelipeds are close to the female cheliped of Latopilumnus tuberculosus shown by Takeda and Komatsu (2020: fig. 4), having many obtuse or subtruncated granules on the carpus. The palm of the larger chela of the good male specimen is bare except for the basal marginal part, being different from the female cheliped palm.
Distribution. Originally described on a male from the vicinity of Jolo Island in the Philippines, 45 m in depth, and later from the Okinawa-jima and Ishigaki-jima in the Ryukyu Islands, and now from northern Australia, 45–150 m depth.

The imagination roundtable: performance and indigenous representations in Peru’s Mesa de concertación para la lucha contra pobreza
Creators: name: Bauer, Christopher
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation explores why volunteers at Peru’s Mesa de Concertación Para la Lucha Contra Pobreza dedicate considerable energy to service when neoliberal policies have diluted its mechanism of direct representation.  Hailing from indigenous backgrounds, these volunteers view the Mesa, and associated decentralization reforms, as structural advances supporting their democratic representation.  The Mesa’s decline would seem to be the logical consequence of theories positing that direct representation under neoliberal policies constrains activism or depoliticizes the population (Hale 2002).  Conversely, my findings show that volunteers use the Mesa’s charter and programming to shape their inclusion in state institutions.  To illustrate this, I apply a performative framework to the volunteers’ interactions with public officials orchestrated by the Mesa.  This framing highlights the imaginative potential of their interactions for inclusion in a future state, demonstrating that they use neoliberal techniques for starkly different political projects than typically ascribed to neoliberalism.

description: Slideshow for a forthcoming invited presentation. ABSTRACT: Podcasting originated as a new form of audio broadcasting, but by 2006, issues of ease of use, proprietary technology, and finances slowed its momentum. Now podcasting is more popular than ever. This presentation therefore traces the author's initial and current CALL podcasting projects, reconsidering the foundations and pedagogy of podcasting. BACKGROUND: The author's pioneer work in podcasting was thwarted when his Japancasting blog suddenly disappeared from both paid and free hosting sites about 15 years ago. Japancasting had received many international honors including an "Effective Practice" award from the Online Learning Consortium, particularly for English as a Foreign Language Student-Generated Content. Now the author is collaborating with educators in India to revive the podcasting channel as open educational resources for a broader audience including developing country learners.

Before transsexuality: transgender lives and practices in nineteenth-century America
Creators: name: Bayker, Jesse
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: “Before Transsexuality” examines transgender lives in the U.S. in the period before the advent of medical technologies for hormonal and surgical sex reassignment. Spanning the antebellum era to the turn of the twentieth century, this dissertation explores how individuals changed their gender socially without changing their bodies and contends that the experience of reinventing one’s gender was not altogether uncommon in the nineteenth century. In order to analyze the strategies that ordinary people employed to cross gender borders, this project brings together a fragmented archive of clandestine transgender practices, tracing transgender lives through local and national press, police and court records, penitentiary records, city directories, personal correspondence, and autobiographies. Geographic mobility was key to success for many, and individuals often migrated in order to adopt a new name and reinvent their gender. This dissertation lays out the practical tools and material culture necessary for changing one’s gender presentation, the assistance rendered by friends and associates, the economic constraints and opportunities of gender crossing, and the role of passion and intimacy in gender crossing narratives. Moreover, “Before Transsexuality” attends to the role of law enforcement and state surveillance in policing the border between male and female through vagrancy codes and laws prohibiting public disguise. It demonstrates how individuals resisted criminalization and began articulating a legal defense of their transgender lives as early as the 1850s. This project contributes a new understanding of the lived experience of crossing gender borders and brings transgender voices into focus. By emphasizing the historical specificity of nineteenth-century transgender narratives, “Before Transsexuality” expands our understanding of the range and diversity of transgender experience.
Empirische Analyse praktizierter Lohnmodelle bei NPOs im Kanton Zürich

description: Auf Grundlage einer Literaturrecherche wurde der aktuelle Wissensstand zur Lohngestaltung von NPOs erfasst und Konstrukte zu deren Messung und Klassifikation gesammelt. Es wurden vier Charakteristika ermittelt, welche die Lohnsysteme von NPOs beschreiben: Die Vergütungslogik nach Brandl et al. (2006), die aussagt, ob die Löhne aufgrund individueller, persönlicher Umstände und Fähigkeiten, in Bezug zur wahrgenommenen Funktion innerhalb der Organisation oder aufgrund der Arbeitsleistung geregelt sind. Die weiteren Konstrukte umfassen die Transparenz, die Gerechtigkeit sowie die Beständigkeit bzw. Veränderbarkeit des Lohnsystems. Des Weiteren wurden das Bewusstsein eines Gemeinwohlbeitrages, die Arbeitsqualität und die wahrgenommene Unterstützung am Arbeitsplatz in ihrer Wirkung auf die Hingabe der Mitarbeitenden und deren Zufriedenheit untersucht.
Über die Datenbank des Handelsregisteramtes des Kantons Zürich wurden 739 Organisationen ermittelt, in deren Zweck die Begriffe «gemeinnützig» oder «nicht gewinnorientiert» enthalten sind und die über eine Website verfügen, auf denen eine Kontakt-Mail-Adresse angegeben ist. Diese wurden zur Teilnahme an einer Online-Umfrage eingeladen, im Rahmen derer die oben vorgestellten Konstrukte anhand von 84 Items abgefragt wurden.
Es haben 94 Personen an der Umfrage teilgenommen, von denen 69 Befragte aus 55 NPOs verwertbare Angaben gemacht haben. Rund die Hälfte der Befragten sind im Bereich der sozialen Unterstützung, der Kultur, der Bildung oder im Umweltschutz tätig. Die Teilnehmenden weisen eine hohe Zufriedenheit in Bezug zu ihrer Arbeit auf und verfolgen ihre Tätigkeit mit grosser Hingabe. Die meisten untersuchten NPOs verfügen über eine funktionsbezogene Vergütungslogik und es gibt Hinweise darauf, dass diese von den Mitarbeitenden als gerecht eingestuft wird. Im Bezug zur Transparenz hat sich gezeigt, dass NPOs für die Freiwilligenarbeit eine zentrale Rolle einnimmt, zu einem transparenteren Lohnsystem neigen als solche, die nicht mit Freiwilligen arbeiten. Rund 40% der NPOs gaben an in den letzten 15 Jahren das Vergütungssystem grundlegend geändert zu haben.
Zur weiterführenden Analyse der Wirkungen des Lohnsystems auf die Arbeitsbedingungen zeigten sich die erhobenen Daten als unzureichend. Es konnten lediglich bereits bekannte Wirkungszusammenhänge im Kontext von Zürcher NPOs bestätigt werden. Beispielsweise, dass die wahrgenommene Unterstützung am Arbeitsplatz sowie das Bewusstsein eines Gemeinwohlbeitrages einen positiven Einfluss auf die Hingabe der Mitarbeitenden haben.

Mathematical model for multiple cooling tower plumes
Creators: name: Wu, Frank H. Y.
name: Koh, Robert C. Y.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1977

description: A mathematical model is developed resulting in a computer program for the prediction of the behavior of plumes from multiple cooling towers with multiple cells. A general integral method based on the conservation of mass, momentum, energy (heat), and moisture fluxes (before and after plume merging), were employed in the prediction scheme. The effects of ambient stratifications of temperature, moisture, and wind are incorporated in the model.

An axisymmetric round plume is assumed to be emitted from each individual cell before interference with neighboring plumes. A finite length slot plume in the central part and two half round plumes at both ends of the merged plume were used to approximate the plume after merging. The entrainment and drag functions are calculated based on the modified merged plume shape.

The computer output provides the predicted plume properties such as excess plume temperature, humidity and liquid phase moisture (water droplet), plume trajectory, width, and dilution at the merging locations and the beginning and ending points of the visible part of the plumes. Detailed printout and contour plots of excess temperature and moisture distribution can also be obtained if desired.

Based on comparison with laboratory data this model gives good predictions for the case of dry plumes (no moisture involved). It should be noted that several empirical coefficients are as yet not accurately known. Verification of this model for the wet plume (such as for prototype cooling tower plumes) and the determination of the values for these empirical coefficients to be used in prototype applications must await detailed comparison with field data.
