Participant Experience with Continuous Glucose Monitoring: Acceptability and Implications for Physical Activity Behavior Modification
Creators: name: Molina, Lindsey
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: BACKGROUND: Continuous glucose monitoring for the management of type I diabetes (T1D) has become increasingly widespread; however, few studies have investigated this device’s potential as a tool for those with prediabetes or type II diabetes (T2D). OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the acceptability of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), the relationship between CGM acceptance and frequency of scanning, and the association of scanning frequency with physical activity (PA) behaviors among those with prediabetes and T2D enrolled in a weight loss program. METHODS: The parent T2Connect trial was a single-arm, non-blinded 12-week study designed to include twenty participants with prediabetes or non-insulin dependent T2D. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM-CGM) was administered at baseline to assess perceptions of CGM acceptability. All participants were instructed to weigh themselves daily, record dietary intake with the Traffic Light Diet approach, track their physical activity (PA) with a wearable PA tracker, and engage in weekly coaching sessions throughout the study. Participants were also randomized to wear a CGM for 14-days or the full 12-weeks. The study outlined in this paper analyzes data from the first two weeks of the described T2Connect parent trial, such that all participants (n = 11) received the same baseline measures and utilized their digital tools for the same amount of time. Linear regression and ANOVA analyses were used to evaluate the associations between CGM acceptability, scanning frequency, and physical activity variables. RESULTS: On average, participants reported more benefits to CGM use than barriers at baseline. The overall benefits to barriers ratio (BBR) was 1.22, and persons with a BBR greater than 1 performed an average of 3.09 additional scans per day compared to persons with a BBR less than or equal to 1 (p = 0.1872). Over the first two weeks, we found that the association between average scanning frequency and average glucose was negative, with a beta coefficient of 1.15 (p = 0.2424). The association between average scans per day and total steps per day was positive (estimate = 545.20, p = 0.0006) while the association between total steps per day and average glucose was negative (estimate = -0.000195, p = 0.7990). Between weeks 1 and 2 of the program, participants scanned 0.65 times more, increased their steps by 1038, and decreased their average glucose by 6.63 mg/dL (p = 0.16, 0.02, and 0.03 respectively). CONCLUSION: Preliminary results suggest that baseline perceptions of CGM technology influence frequency of scanning, which is in turn associated with behaviors like physical activity that can lead to improved diabetes management. Future research is warranted to explore the potential mediational role of physical activity in the relationship between scanning frequency and glucose control.

description: The coexistence of infinitely many attractors is called extreme multistability in dynamical systems. In coupled systems, this phenomenon is closely related to partial synchrony and characterized by the emergence of a conserved quantity. We propose a general design of coupling that leads to partial synchronization, which may be a partial complete synchronization or partial antisynchronization and even a mixed state of complete synchronization and antisynchronization in two coupled systems and, thereby reveal the emergence of extreme multistability. The proposed design of coupling has wider options and allows amplification or attenuation of the amplitude of the attractors whenever it is necessary. We demonstrate that this phenomenon is robust to parameter mismatch of the coupled oscillators.

Year: 2020

description: Although there are many known health benefits to breastfeeding for both the infant and mother, several factors influence the decision or ability to breastfeed. Healthy People 2020 set goals to reduce barriers to breastfeeding and increase the proportion of infants who are breastfed (Healthy People, 2020). While there are improvements in breastfeeding rates nationwide, the Appalachian Region continues to have lower breastfeeding rates compared to the rest of the United States (Machado et al., 2014). In order to improve breastfeeding rates in Appalachia, it is important to understand the experiences of lactation consultants, counselors, and supporters (LCCS) who provide lactation and breastfeeding information and support to mothers and families. The purpose of this study is to explore the sociocultural, community and family barriers that a diverse range of people including lactation consultants, counselors, and supporters (LCCS) face when providing support in the Appalachian Region. The hope of this research project is to inform future Appalachian-specific funding about the identified challenges LCCS face when providing care and suggested changes to improved breastfeeding practices in Appalachia.

Year: 2020

description: Background: To sustainably resolve health disparities in low-income communities by addressing food insecurity and promoting economic opportunities, Good Bowls, LLC has developed frozen meals produced through partnerships with small businesses. Good Bowls are sold using a cost-offset model in which products are sold at a higher price at higher-end stores and at a lower price at corner stores. We assessed the early acceptability of Good Bowls among corner store customers in a rural North Carolina county to tailor Good Bowls’ entry into this market and ensure that Good Bowls can achieve its intervention goals.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. Two surveys were administered at four corner stores a rural North Carolina county: 1) a corner store intercept survey designed to learn more about the perceived availability of healthy food, the barriers that customers experience when maintaining healthy diets, the food shopping and consumption patterns of customers, and the acceptability of Good Bowls; and 2) a taste test survey designed to test the reception of Good Bowls flavors. 
Findings: We found that a substantial proportion of survey respondents faced significant barriers to accessing healthy food, with 42% of participants identified as food insecure. Barriers to healthy eating included cost, availability of food, and convenience, and corner stores are a significant source of food for their customers. 
Conclusions: The findings confirmed the existence of barriers to obtaining healthy foods that Good Bowls seeks to address, the validity of corner stores as a point of intervention, and the positive reception of Good Bowls among corner store customers.

description: Cosmological transverse momentum fields, whose directions are perpendicular to Fourier wave vectors, induce temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background via the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect. The transverse momentum power spectrum contains the four-point function of density and velocity fields, $\langleδδv v\rangle$. In the post-reionization epoch, nonlinear effects dominate in the power spectrum. We use perturbation theory and cosmological $N$-body simulations to calculate this nonlinearity. We derive the next-to-leading order expression for the power spectrum with a particular emphasis on the connected term that has been ignored in the literature. While the contribution from the connected term on small scales ($k>0.1\,h\,\rm{Mpc}^{-1}$) is subdominant relative to the unconnected term, we find that its contribution to the kSZ power spectrum at $\ell = 3000$ at $z<6$ can be as large as ten percent of the unconnected term, which would reduce the allowed contribution from the reionization epoch ($z>6$) by twenty percent. The power spectrum of transverse momentum on large scales is expected to scale as $k^2$ as a consequence of momentum conservation. We show that both the leading and the next-to-leading order terms satisfy this scaling. In particular, we find that both of the unconnected and connected terms are necessary to reproduce $k^2$.

description: For a massless gas with constant cross section in a homogeneous, isotropically expanding spacetime we reformulate the relativistic Boltzmann equation as a set of non-linear coupled moment equations. For a particular initial condition this set can be solved exactly, yielding the first analytical solution of the Boltzmann equation for an expanding system. The non-equilibrium behavior of this relativistic gas can be mapped onto that of a homogeneous, static non-relativistic gas of Maxwell molecules.

An Inverse Reinforcement Learning Approach to Generative Music
Creators: name: Lowe, Sam
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: In this work, we explore the applicability of reinforcement learning (RL) techniques to generative music, with a particular focus on interactive musical agents. Despite the popularity of both generative music and reinforcement learning as topics of study, only a limited amount of research has explored their intersection, which we posit is partially due to the difficulty of specifying a reward function to describe musical behavior. However, recent advances in inverse reinforcement learning have resulted in algorithms that can train agents based on expert data in absence of a reward function. Building off these successes, we present Melodic Imitator, a system that learns to generate melodies using inverse reinforcement learning. We utilize an inverse RL algorithm, generative adversarial imitation learning (GAIL), which trains a pair of neural networks to generate trajectories that match the occupancy measures of the expert data set with only a few training examples. The sample efficiency of this approach means that it can potentially be used to create improvisational music companions, agents that learn to imitate the particular style of a musician, something that has been a research ideal since the early 2000s. We present several experiments in which we vary our data representations in order to compare the musical richness of the content generated in response. Finally, we describe a live demonstration system that adapts our system to a live musical context.

Year: 2020

description: This project sought to understand how staff at libraries and archives find and select funding opportunities to apply for following a natural disaster. This topic was investigated by deploying a survey to staff members at libraries and archives affected by natural disasters in the past five years. The survey consisted of questions about what sources of funding those libraries and archives pursued and why they pursued them. The survey was administered through Qualtrics and potential participants were asked to participate via notices posted to professional listservs. The results were analyzed with Microsoft Excel. The findings of this study will likely have implications for how library and archival institutions apply for disaster recovery funding as well as how grant giving institutions advertise their funding opportunities.

description: We briefly outline the basic ideas behind LIFE, the Large Interferometer For Exoplanets, a proposed space mission which topic coincides with one of those recently selected for ESA's Voyage 2050. LIFE is a project initiated in Europe with the goal to consolidate various efforts and define a roadmap that eventually leads to the launch of a large, space based mid-IR nulling interferometer to investigate the atmospheric properties of a large sample of (primarily) terrestrial exoplanets. We summarise the current scientific and engineering efforts related to LIFE.

description: Successful realization of polarized Drell-Yan physics program is one of the main goals of the second stage of the COMPASS experiment. Drell-Yan measurements with high energy (190 GeV/c) pion beam and transversely polarized NH3 target have been initiated by a pilot-run in the October 2014 and will be followed by 140 days of data taking in 2015. In the past twelve years COMPASS experiment performed series of SIDIS measurements with high energy muon beam and transversely polarized deuteron and proton targets. Results obtained for Sivers effect and other target transverse spin dependent and unpolarized azimuthal asymmetries in SIDIS serve as an important input for general understanding of spin-structure of the nucleon and are being used in numerous theoretical and phenomenological studies being carried out in the field of transvers-spin physics. Measurement of the Sivers and all other azimuthal effects in polarized Drell-Yan at COMPASS will reveal another side of the spin-puzzle providing a link between SIDIS and Drell-Yan branches. This will be a unique possibility to test universality and key-features of transverse momentum dependent distribution functions (TMD PDFs) using essentially same experimental setup and exploring same kinematic domain. In this review man physics aspects of future COMPASS polarized Drell-Yan measurement of azimuthal transverse spin asymmetries will be presented, giving a particular emphasis on the link with very recent COMPASS results obtained for SIDIS transverse spin asymmetries from four "Drell-Yan" $Q^2$-ranges.

description: We address the problem of uplink co-operative reception with constraints on both backhaul bandwidth and the receiver aperture, or number of antenna signals that can be processed. The problem is cast as a network utility (weighted sum rate) maximization subject to computational complexity and architectural bandwidth sharing constraints. We show that a relaxed version of the problem is convex, and can be solved via a dual-decomposition. The proposed solution is distributed in that each cell broadcasts a set of {\em demand prices} based on the data sharing requests they receive. Given the demand prices, the algorithm determines an antenna/cell ordering and antenna-selection for each scheduled user in a cell. This algorithm, referred to as {\em LiquidMAAS}, iterates between the preceding two steps. Simulations of realistic network scenarios show that the algorithm exhibits fast convergence even for systems with large number of cells.

description: It is important that libraries serve all their patrons, but sadly this isn’t always the case. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/queer, intersex, asexual, and other diverse identities (LGBTQIA+) young adults are a largely under-served population in libraries, particularly in school libraries. This paper will quantitatively examine the amount of LGBTQIA+ materials (fiction, nonfiction, and biographies) young adults have access to in a public-school district, as well as examine and compare that level of access to that of nearby public libraries serving the same young adult population. The online public access catalogues of three high school and two public libraries were analyzed for LGBTQIA+ materials based on LGBTQIA+ Sears subject headings and a title sampling generated from an ALA published guide on creating LGBTQIA+ inclusive collections. This study aims to provide data analysis that will encourage libraries, both school and public, to include LGBTQIA+ materials in their collections.

description: We investigate the horizon structure and ergosphere in a rotating Bardeen regular black hole, which has an additional parameter ($g$) due to magnetic charge, apart from mass ($M$) and rotation parameter ($a$). Interestingly, for each value of parameter $g$, there exist a critical rotation parameter ($a=a_{E}$), which corresponds to an extremal black hole with degenerate horizons, while for $aa_{E}$. We find that the extremal value $a_E$ is also influenced by the parameter $g$ and so is the ergosphere. While the value of $a_E$ remarkably decreases when compared with the Kerr black hole, the ergosphere becomes more thick with increase in $g$. We also study collision of two equal mass particle near the horizon of this black hole, and explicitly bring out the effect of parameter $g$. The center-of-mass energy ($E_{CM}$) not only depends on rotation parameter $a$, but also on parameter $g$. It is demonstrated that the $E_{CM}$ could be arbitrary high in the extremal cases when one of the colliding particle has critical angular momentum, thereby suggesting that the rotating Bardeen regular black hole can act as a particle accelerator.

description: We denote by $\mathbb{F}_q$ the field with $q$ elements. A radius-$r$ extended ball with center in a $1$-dimensional vector subspace $V$ of $\mathbb{F}_q^3$ is the set of elements of $\mathbb{F}_q^3$ with Hamming distance to $V$ at most $r$. We define $c(q)$ as the size of a minimum covering of $\fqt$ by radius-$1$ extended balls. We define a semiqueen as a piece of a toroidal chessboard that extends the covering range of a rook by the southwest-northeast diagonal containing it. Let $ξ_D(n)$ be the minimum number of semiqueens of the $n\times n$ toroidal board necessary to cover the entire board except possibly for the southwest-northeast diagonal. We prove that, for $q\ge 7$, $c(q)=ξ_D(q-1)+2$. Moreover, our proof exhibits a method to build such covers of $\mathbb{F}_q^3$ from the semiqueen coverings of the board. With this new method, we determine $c(q)$ for the odd values of $q$ and improve both existing bounds for the even case.

description: We construct an $O(d,d)$ invariant universal formulation of the first-order $α'$-corrections of the string effective actions involving the dilaton, metric and two-form fields. Two free parameters interpolate between four-derivative terms that are even and odd with respect to a $Z_2$-parity transformation that changes the sign of the two-form field. The $Z_2$-symmetric model reproduces the closed bosonic string, and the heterotic string effective action is obtained through a $Z_2$-parity-breaking choice of parameters. The theory is an extension of the generalized frame formulation of Double Field Theory, in which the gauge transformations are deformed by a first-order generalized Green-Schwarz transformation. This deformation defines a duality covariant gauge principle that requires and fixes the four-derivative terms. We discuss the $O(d,d)$ structure of the theory and the (non-)covariance of the required field redefinitions.

Lobe Overflow as the Likely Cause of Pericenter Outburst in an SMBH Orbiter

description: A very large lobe overflow event is suggested to explain the $0.^m4$ brightening observed in K band at pericenter passage of the star known as S2 that orbits the Galaxy's supermassive black hole (SMBH). Known observed properties of S2 that contribute to lobe filling are 1) the enormous mass ratio, $M_{SMBH}/M_{S2}$, 2) S2's fast rotation, and 3) S2's large orbital eccentricity. Published estimates have given limiting lobe sizes of order 100 to 300 $R_\odot$ but, with S2's fast rotation taken into account, the computed lobe size is much smaller, being compatible with either a main sequence OB star or a stripped evolved star. An important evolutionary consideration that predicts very large pericenter overflows is envelope expansion following mass loss that is characteristic of highly evolved stars. Material removed by lobe overflow at pericenter is replenished by envelope expansion as an evolved star awaits its next pericenter passage. An observational signature of lobe overflow for upcoming pericenter passages would be appearance of emission lines as the ejected gas expands and becomes optically thin.

description: The Office for National Statistics COVID-19 Infection Survey (ONS-CIS) is the largest surveillance study of SARS-CoV-2 positivity in the community, and collected data on the United Kingdom (UK) epidemic from April 2020 until March 2023 before being paused. Here, we report on the epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 determined by analysing the sequenced samples collected by the ONS-CIS during this period. We observed a series of sweeps or partial sweeps, with each sweeping lineage having a distinct growth advantage compared to their predecessors, although this was also accompanied by a gradual fall in average viral burdens from June 2021 to March 2023. The sweeps also generated an alternating pattern in which most samples had either S-gene target failure (SGTF) or non-SGTF over time. Evolution was characterised by steadily increasing divergence and diversity within lineages, but with step increases in divergence associated with each sweeping major lineage. This led to a faster overall rate of evolution when measured at the between-lineage level compared to within lineages, and fluctuating levels of diversity. These observations highlight the value of viral sequencing integrated into community surveillance studies to monitor the viral epidemiology and evolution of SARS-CoV-2, and potentially other pathogens.

title: An assessment of the Matrix 96 Direct Beta Counter for cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursor frequency analysis in human cardiac transplant recipients
Creators: name: McKenzie, David Charles Lennox
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1999

description: This study was undertaken to assess the Matrix 96 Direct Beta Counter for the measurement of 51Chromium (51Cr)-release from cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursor (CTLp) frequency assays of human cardiac transplant recipients. The Matrix 96 was compared with a gamma counter for the measurement of maximal 51Cr-release from graded numbers of labelled target cells. Repeated counts by both counters were consistent. Variation between the Matrix 96 and the gamma counter was similar to the variation between repeated counts using the gamma counter, indicating that the counters were comparable for the measurement of 51Cr. The contribution of natural killer-like activity to target cell killing in the CTLp assay was investigated by the use of the K562 cell line in cold target competition assays. Ten responder-stimulator combinations were tested in the CTLp assay for cross-reactivity between K562 and allogeneic targets. Cytotoxicity was reduced in only one assay, suggesting that the cells which mediated lysis of allogeneic lymphocytes and K562 cells recognised distinct targets. Donor- and 3rd party-reactive CTLp frequencies in 15 human cardiac allograft recipients were then measured in samples taken before transplantation, and at two intervals after transplantation. In the group of patients, donor-reactive CTLp frequencies decreased by 3 to 7 months after transplantation, but increased to pre-transplant levels by 9 to 15 months after transplantation. Donor-specific decreases in CTLp frequencies relative to the pre-transplant frequencies were found in three patients by 9 to 15 months after transplantation. Pre-transplant donor-reactive CTLp frequencies were not predictive of acute rejection in the first 3 months or in the first year after transplantation. Donor- reactive CTLp frequencies were lower at 9 to 15 months after transplantation in patients with concurrent endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) grade 2 or 3 rejection than in patients without rejection (EMB grade 0 or 1). Similarly, a negative correlation was found between donor-reactive CTLp frequencies at 9 to 15 months after transplantation and the number of EMB graded ?2 in this period. Donor-reactive CTLp frequencies were not significantly different in patients who received induction immunosuppression with anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and in patients who received standard triple immiunosuppression. The conclusion of all these experiments was that the Matrix 96 was comparable to the gamma counter for the measurement of 51Cr-release and was a rapid and convenient method for counting large numbers of limiting dilution assays.

description: The Office for National Statistics COVID-19 Infection Survey (ONS-CIS) is the largest surveillance study of SARS-CoV-2 positivity in the community, and collected data on the United Kingdom (UK) epidemic from April 2020 until March 2023 before being paused. Here, we report on the epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 determined by analysing the sequenced samples collected by the ONS-CIS during this period. We observed a series of sweeps or partial sweeps, with each sweeping lineage having a distinct growth advantage compared to their predecessors, although this was also accompanied by a gradual fall in average viral burdens from June 2021 to March 2023. The sweeps also generated an alternating pattern in which most samples had either S-gene target failure (SGTF) or non-SGTF over time. Evolution was characterised by steadily increasing divergence and diversity within lineages, but with step increases in divergence associated with each sweeping major lineage. This led to a faster overall rate of evolution when measured at the between-lineage level compared to within lineages, and fluctuating levels of diversity. These observations highlight the value of viral sequencing integrated into community surveillance studies to monitor the viral epidemiology and evolution of SARS-CoV-2, and potentially other pathogens.

Predicting the Popularity of TED Talks
Creators: name: Yang, Ruiting

Year: 2020

description: In this paper, we explore how to predict a TED talk’s popularity by its inherent features via machine learning techniques. we quantify a TED talk’s popularity as logarithmic transformation of its daily views and daily comments and include 43 features as predictors. We find that the ordinary least squares regression, ridge regression, and LASSO regression models perform well, and predictors such as a talk’s number of language
translations, average Internet development environment when published,
duration, main speaker’s occupation, as well as the timing it being uploaded have essential effects on its popularity. In the end, we also provide our suggestion on how to improve TED talks’ popularity within and beyond the scope of machine learning.

description: Let $\mathfrak P$ be the Lie algebra of Hamiltonian vector fields on the torus, which is also known as the Virasoro-like algebra, a special kind of the so-called Block type Lie algebra. And let $\mathfrak A$ be the Laurent polynomial algebra in two variables. In this paper, by following S.E. Rao's strategy of "backward induction", we prove that any quasi-finite simple $(\mathfrak A,\mathfrak P)$-module has to come from Larsson-Shen's construction.

FAILURE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN MODIFICATION OF VEHICLE DRIVE SHAFT
Creators: name: DANIEL MENGISTU MULETA
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: The driveshaft is one of the most commonly failed components in vehicles. Recent studies show that fatigue cracks that initiate in the region of the output splines are the main cause of the failure. This study was mainly aimed at identifying the effects of the spline root fillet radius and the number of teeth on the design modification of the driveshaft. In this regard, the Finite element method was incorporated to analyze the total deformation, the local stress concentration around the critical areas under the static operating conditions, and fatigue behaviors during the operation. Moreover, theoretical calculations were used to evaluate the equivalent (Von-mises) stress and the factor of safety of the driveshaft around the output splines according to ANSI standard. The theoretical calculations of the equivalent stress under the static conditions and the factor of safety were used as a benchmark for the simulations, and the results are in good agreement with each other. Moreover, from the plot of the effect of the shoulder fillet on the stress concentration, the optimum fillet radius was found and used in the design modification of the driveshaft.

Does Artificial Intelligence Really Benefit Reviewers with Reduced Workload? A Mixed-Methods Usability Study on Systematic Review Software
Creators: name: Wang, Manhua
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Systematic review (SR) is widely used in evidence-based healthcare. Conducting a systematic review requires great mental efforts, especially during the article screening process. This challenge has motivated researchers to develop intelligent software to streamline the process. This study used both quantitative and qualitative research methods to investigate whether Colandr, an SR application which is equipped with artificial intelligence (AI) and claims to facilitate decision-making by relevance prediction, can reduce reviewers’ mental workload compared to Covidence, a popular SR software without any AI feature. Both perceived and objective cognitive workload were measured by NASA-TLX and pupil size change. The results indicate that Colandr neither helped reviewers achieve higher screening accuracy nor reduce their mental workload compared with Covidence. The qualitative interview results also provide valuable suggestions to the design of SR software. This study is the first usability investigation on the mental workload demand associated with the SR screening process.

description: The goal of this paper is to classify symplectic toric stratified spaces with isolated singularities. This extends a result of Burns, Guillemin, and Lerman which carries out this classification in the compact connected case. In making this classification, it is necessary to classify symplectic toric cones. Via a well-known equivalence between symplectic toric cones and contact toric manifolds, this allows for the classification of contact toric manifolds as well, extending Lerman's classification of compact connected contact toric manifolds.

SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND WEB DEVELOPMENT OF MOVIE REVIEWS USING NAIVE BAYES AND LSTM
Creators: name: Wei Zhang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Online movie reviews have become an essential reference indicator when people choose to watch movies. How to use movie reviews data to mine the audience's viewing experience and provide quantifiable reference and recommendation for other users is the problem that this paper tries to solve. This paper learns the representation of different features through the LSTM neural network model, including word-based representation, part-of-speech representation, and representation based on dependency. Then it determines and captures valid text features by fusing different feature representations to complete sentiment analysis for movie reviews. We apply this method to carry out training experiments on the IMDB dataset and compare the results with the traditional Naïve Bayes machine learning method. At the end of the research, we will use a more accurate model to develop a web to help users to estimate and choose movies that they may love. At the same time, It also could help companies and movie websites to understand the needs of the audience better and make more reasonable decisions for future movie production or distribution.
A Note on Physical Mass and the Thermodynamics of AdS-Kerr Black Holes

description: As with any black hole, asymptotically anti-de Sitter Kerr black holes are described by a small number of parameters, including a "mass parameter" $M$ that reduces to the AdS-Schwarzschild mass in the limit of vanishing angular momentum. In sharp contrast to the asymptotically flat case, the horizon area of such a black hole increases with the angular momentum parameter $a$ if one fixes $M$, this appears to mean that the Penrose process in this case would violate the Second Law of black hole thermodynamics. We show that the correct procedure is to fix not $M$ but rather the "physical" mass $E=M/(1-a^2/L^2)^2$, this is motivated by the First Law. For then the horizon area decreases with $a$. We recommend that $E$ always be used as the mass in physical processes: for example, in attempts to "over-spin" AdS-Kerr black holes.
