Framing Mexicans in Great Depression Editorials: Alien Riff Raff to Heroes
Year: 2017

Great Depression editorials published in English and Spanish language newspapers in San Antonio, Texas, waged a war of ideas about the role of Mexicans and immigrants in the United States that went beyond socially constructing news events to another kind of storytelling the mythmaking power of idea driven opinion writing about "the other." Against a backdrop of mass deportations and repatriations to Mexico, the city's three major daily newspapers staked dichotomous positions. William Randolph Hearst's Light railed against "the criminal menace," competing against the independent San Antonio Express and its concept of the Mexican as "indispensable" worker hero. Meanwhile, the Spanish language La Prensa offered a complex representation of the immigrant, creating a mythology that was largely absent from the mainstream media.
Constructing Verifiable Random Number in Finite Field
Venue: J. Internet Serv. Inf. Secur.
Year: 2013

In information security field underlying cryptography, random sequences, which are the base of system security, play a very important role. Random sequences with high security are often needed in cryptography field. From the view of security, real random sequences should be completely unpredictable and reliable. In many circumstances, a random number not only need to be random, but also need to be verifiable. So verifiable random number is much needed in cryptography. Using linear equations in finite field, a method for constructing verifiable random number is proposed. It enjoys advantages of high efficiency and no error. Then the security properties such as unpredictability and unmanipulability are analyzed, and an example is given to show the feasibility of the method. Finally, a way for fast generation and verification of VRN with large amounts of data is given.

Visualization Onboarding: Learning How to Read and Use Visualizations
Year: 2019

The aim of visualization is to support humans in dealing with large and complex information structures, to make these structures more comprehensible, facilitate exploration, and enable knowledge dis covery. However, users often have problems reading and interpreting data from visualizations, in particular when they experience them for the first time. A lack of visualization literacy, i.e. knowledge in terms of domain, data, visual encoding, interaction, and also analyti cal methods can be observed. To support users in learning how to use new digital technologies, the concept of onboarding has been successfully applied in other domains. However, it has not received much attention from the visualization community so far. With our position paper, we aim to work towards filling this gap by proposing a design space of onboarding in the context of visualization.

Marketing to Youth in the Digital Age: The Promotion of Unhealthy Products and Health Promoting Behaviours on Social Media
Year: 2016

The near ubiquitous use of social media among adolescents and young adults creates opportunities for both corporate brands and health promotion agencies to target and engage with young audiences in unprecedented ways. Traditional media is known to have both a positive and negative influence on youth health behaviours, but the impact of social media is less well understood. This paper first summarises current evidence around adolescents' exposure to the promotion and marketing of unhealthy products such as energy dense and nutrient poor food and beverages, alcohol, and tobacco on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. We explore emerging evidence about the extent of exposure to marketing of these harmful products through social media platforms and potential impacts of exposure on adolescent health. Secondly, we present examples of health promoting social media campaigns aimed at youth, with the purpose of describing innovative campaigns and highlighting lessons learned for creating effective social media interventions. Finally, we suggest implications for policy and practice, and identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for future research.
National Health Care Spending In 2017: Growth Slows To Post Great Recession Rates; Share Of GDP Stabilizes.
Venue: Health affairs
Year: 2019

Total nominal US health care spending increased 3.9 percent to $3.5 trillion in 2017, slowing from growth of 4.8 percent in 2016. The rate of growth in 2017 was similar to the increases between 2008 and 2013, which preceded the faster growth experienced during 2014 15 a period that was marked by insurance coverage expansion and large increases in prescription drug spending. Slower growth in health care spending in 2017 was mainly attributable to the use and intensity of goods and services, particularly for hospital care, physician and clinical services, and retail prescription drugs. Nearly all major sources of insurance and sponsors of health care experienced slower growth in 2017. On a per capita basis, spending on health care increased 3.2 percent and reached $10,739 in 2017. The share of gross domestic product devoted to health care spending was 17.9 percent in 2017, similar to the share in 2016.

Venue: Nanoscale Research Letters
Year: 2016

Since Zwilling and co workers first introduced the electrochemical anodization method to prepare TiO2 nanotubes in 1999, it has attracted a lot of researches due to its outstanding gas response and selectivity, making it widely used in gas detection field. This review presents an introduction to the sensor applications of TiO2 nanotube arrays (TNTAs) in sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) insulated equipment, which is used to evaluate and diagnose the insulation status of SF6 insulated equipment by detecting their typical decomposition products of SF6: sulfur dioxide (SO2) thionyl fluoride (SOF2) and sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2) The synthesis and sensing properties of TiO2 nanotubes are discussed first. Then, it is followed by discussing the theoretical sensing to the typical SF6 decomposition products, SO2, SOF2, and SO2F2, which analyzes the sensing mechanism at the molecular level. Finally, the gas response of pure and modified TiO2 nanotubes sensor to SO2, SOF2, and SO2F2 is provided according to the change of resistance in experimental observation.
Implementing Adaptive e Learning Conceptual Model: A Survey and Comparison with Open Source LMS
Venue: iJET
Year: 2019

This paper deals with the necessary steps to be followed in upgrading the traditional e Learning system to the new Adaptive e Learning system. The framework, which is an important part of the implementation, is also covered in the paper. Before implementing the adaptive learning system, the existing system needs to be reviewed. A survey was conducted to find practical feedback from both the users: students and instructors to recognize their belief about the current e Learning system. Results are discussed to frame the strategy to implement an adaptive learning system in which the issues of the current system can be addressed. To confirm the feedback, a report from the university LMS has also been taken into account and talked about. There are many open sources available in the market for the implementation of the adaptive e learning. Along with the conceptual model, various popular LMS has also been discussed. A detailed comparison has also been exercised to identify their features. This paper can help the readers to derive all the components of a conceptual model for an adaptive e Learning system and choose a suitable LMS for the actual implementation of the model.

Environment fusion multipath routing protocol for wireless sensor networks
Venue: Inf. Fusion
Year: 2020

In most cases, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are deployed in unattended scenarios and are featured by energy sensitivity and low cost, thus making the performance of WSNs prone to the impact of external environment and internal energy. Existing routing protocols attempted to optimize the energy efficiency and routing reliability from the perspective of the network itself and failed to take into consideration the environmental impact from outside, causing them cannot make prompt reactions to the dynamic changes of the environments (e.g. wildfire) Thus, in these routing protocols the routing survivability under harsh environments is questionable. To tackle this issue, the paper proposes an environment fusion multipath routing protocol (EFMRP) to provide sustainable message forwarding service under harsh environments. In EFMRP, routing decisions are made according to a mixed potential field in terms of depth, residual energy and environment. The basic idea of this approach is to instruct data packets to select routes with the best trade off among latency, energy conservation and routing survivability. As the environmental field is constructed and updated using the sensing capability of WSN itself, constructed routes can avoid crossing through the danger zones to keep the paths safe. To enhance the performance of EFMRP, specific maintenance, traffic allocation and retreat mechanisms are proposed. We investigate the impact of configuration parameters and paths number on the routing performance respectively and compare EFMRP with respect to commonly used routing protocols. The experimental results show that EFMRP can obtain significant improvements in packet delivery ratio and network lifetime under harsh environments.

Penerimaan penonton remaja terhadap adegan kekerasan dalam film comic 8.
Year: 2016

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana penerimaan penonton remaja terhadap adegan kekerasan yang ditayangkan oleh media dalam hal ini adalah film. Film memiliki pengaruh yang besar bagi tindakan yang dapat ditiru oleh remaja karena remaja merupakan individu yang masih belum dapat menetukan kebenaran dibalik sesuatu hal yang menyenangkan. Berdasarkan film yang diteliti yaitu Comic 8 terdapat beberapa adegan yang menunjukkan kekerasan namun diselubungi oleh adegan komedi sehingga sulit membedakan apakah itu sebuah kekerasan atau hanya lelucon sesuai yang ditayangkan oleh film. Peneliti menemukan dalam kekerasan verbal dan non verbal/fisik yang terdapat di film, informan remaja cenderung lebih banyak menempatkan dirinya pada posisi oposisi pada setiap scene yaitu menganggap tidak adanya kekerasan verbal maupun non verbal/fisik yang terdapat dalam adegan film Comic 8 dan menganggap tiap adegan hanya sebagai lelucon yang mengarah pada adegan komedi.
Social Identity, Behavior, and Personality: Evidence from India
Year: 2020

Hierarchies in social identities have been found to be integrally related to divergences in economic status. In India, caste is one such significant social identity where continued discriminatory practices towards the lower castes have resulted in poor outcomes for them. While there is considerable work on such divergence on many economic outcomes along caste lines, there is no work on behavioral preferences and personality traits that can also be adversely affected by such identity hierarchies, and that are important determinants of educational attainments and labor market performances. We combine rich data from incentivized tasks and surveys conducted among a large sample of university students in a Seemingly Unrelated Regression framework and find that the historically marginalized Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCSTs) and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) fare worse than the upper castes along several dimensions of economic behavior such as competitiveness and confidence and personality traits such as grit, locus of control, and conscientiousness. Further, we find that parental investments only have limited compensatory effects on these gaps. This suggests a need for redesigning the structure of affirmative action policies in India as well as targeting interventions with an aim to improving soft skills among the disadvantaged.
Automatic license plate detection and recognition framework to enhance security applications
Venue: J. Electronic Imaging
Year: 2019

We develop an automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) system for enhancing the investigation capabilities of law enforcing agencies to monitor suspicious vehicles. The recognition performance of real time ALPR systems is affected to great extent in challenging conditions such as varying illumination, angle of view, different sizes of plates, changing contrast, and shadows. Moreover, character segmentation step sensitivity to plate resolution, size of characters, occluded characters, and width between characters makes it difficult to properly isolate the character, which further degrades recognition accuracy. In the first step of the proposed framework, a plate is localized using the faster region based convolutional neural network method. In the second step, our study proposes a segmentation free plate recognition approach that applies an adaptive boosting method with linear discriminant analysis for feature selection followed by matching the plates with a database for suspected vehicles and information retrieval. Simulation results show that the proposed framework is more robust to illumination variations, low resolution images, different orientations, and variable license plate sizes than the conventional ones.
Witness to Marvels: Sufism and Literary Imagination
Year: 2019

There is a vast body of imaginal literature in Bengali that introduces fictional Sufi saints into the complex mythological world of Hindu gods and goddesses. Dating to the sixteenth century, the stories pir katha are still widely read and performed today. The events that play out rival the fabulations of the Arabian Nights, which has led them to be dismissed as simplistic folktales, yet the work of these stories is profound: they provide fascinating insight into how Islam habituated itself into the cultural life of the Bangla speaking world. In Witness to Marvels, Tony K. Stewart unearths the dazzling tales of Sufi saints to signal a bold new perspective on the subtle ways Islam assumed its distinctive form in Bengal. "The tales that are the subject of Tony K. Stewart's book depict a Bengal that is miraculously hybrid, innocent of the estrangements of the modern era. This is essential reading for everyone interested in precolonial South Asia." AMITAV GHOSH, author of The Great Derangement "This is a work of great erudition; the sophisticated analysis is testament to Stewart's deep engagement with Bengal's religious, cultural, and literary histories." FARINA MIR, University of Michigan "While inspiring readers to acquire fresh methodological and analytical tools for studying religion and region, history, and aesthetics, this triumph of a book also causes us to pause and marvel at the art of translation. This is nothing less than a standard setter in the studies of South Asia, Islam, and literature." SYED AKBAR HYDER, University of Texas at Austin TONY K. STEWART is Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Chair in Humanities at Vanderbilt University and a specialist in the religions and literatures of early modern Bengal.

Gas liquid separation processes based on physical solvents: opportunities for membranes
Year: 2014

Membrane contactors have received increased attention since the 1980s and are already used for different industrial applications. A very large number of studies have been reported, more specifically to achieve intensified gas liquid mass transfer, almost exclusively in water or aqueous solutions. In contrast, the potentialities of membrane contactors for gas liquid processes based on non aqueous physical solvents are essentially unexplored. This study intends to discuss the difficulties associated with the specific physical solvent context and explore the potentialities of membrane contactors for both absorption and regeneration steps. Theoretical arguments show that dense membranes based on superpermeable and mechanically resistant polymers could offer promising performances, owing to their capacity to simultaneously prevent wetting effects, sustain a high transmembrane pressure and offer process intensification possibilities. Moreover, a significant improvement in terms of energy efficiency is theoretically achievable for the regeneration step. A preliminary proof of concept study, which supports these potentialities, is presented and the research needs for this new approach in order to possibly achieve applications at industrial scale are discussed.
The Enlightened Self Identity and Aspiration in Two Communities of Practice
Year: 2016

Existing research on religious identity, especially from a narrative perspective, has tended to focus either on accounts of the past (especially occasions of religious change) or on conceptions of religious identity in the present. Religious communities, however, not only provide a sense of identity and belonging in the present as a "Catholic" or "Buddhist," for example they also promote a particular vision of the religious ideal: The way of being in the world that all adherents are (or ought to be) striving to achieve. Drawing on fieldwork and interviews, this paper describes and analyzes the identity and lifestyle goals of participants in two communities of practice: An Integral Yoga studio and a Catholic prayer house. I find that the ideal spiritual self in both communities is defined by three key characteristics: A sacred gaze, a simultaneous sense of presence and detachment, and a holistic style of identity management. I suggest that in constructing and transmitting a shared vision of the "enlightened self," these organizations offer practitioners a highly desirable but ever elusive aspirational identity. This study calls attention to religious organizations as important suppliers of possible identities the identities, either desired and feared, we think we could or might become in the future and reveals the situated and contextual nature of adherents' religious aspirations.
