Connecting the other half: Exploring options for the 50% of the population unconnected to the internet by Del Portillo Barrios, Inigo, Eiskowitz, Skylar, Crawley, Edward F, Cameron, Bruce Gregory

“…To address these barriers, several novel concepts that involve spaceborne and airborne platforms have been proposed to provide connectivity at a lower cost (improve affordability) to a wider reach of people (extend infrastructure). We develop a techno-economic methodology to assess the potential impact of space and aerial concepts in expanding connectivity to uncovered and under-served regions. …”

Virtual Worldmaking: A Phantasmal Media Approach to VRChat by Kim, Andrea Shinyoung

“…In particular, the technical form of the anime girl avatar reinscribes fantasy tropes about Asian women rooted in techno-orientalist cultural histories. Complicating notions of the “anime girl” avatar as a neutral, post-racial virtual citizen, I instead argue that practices of proliferating whiteness and appropriating bodies coded as female are well situated within the harrowing realities of globalization. …”

Endemic Water and Storm Trash to energy via in-situ processing by Peng, Valerie, Slocum, Alexander

“…Using hurricane debris and invasive water hyacinth as case studies, the results of the presented analysis show that carefully designed, relocatable biofuel facilities that produce energy from biowaste can be cost-competitive and carbon-negative compared to status quo baselines. Techno-economic and carbon accounting analyses show that bioenergy can be economical and sustainable over a range of debris scenarios and facility parameters. …”
