Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…It can thus be shown that a commitment to democracy entails a commitment to certain privacy rights—a finding that circumvents the difficulty in establishing a common basis for privacy protections by appealing to all citizens who live under democratic regimes. In abandoning familiar understandings of privacy, the political approach to privacy does away with the problematic emphasis on consent, adapts privacy to an ever-changing surveillance environment, addresses prominent critiques of privacy rights, and provides a common basis of justification for future privacy legislation. …”

Temporal evolution of mechanical properties in PDMS: A comparative study of elastic modulus and relaxation time for storage in air and aqueous environment by Zhang, Y, Adam, C, Rehnstrom, H, Contera, S

“…The identification of two distinct relaxation times suggests the involvement of two disparate material property regimes in the relaxation process, implying changes in the surface material composition at the interface with air/water. …”

The use of paleomagnetic analysis to assess nonbrittle deformation within the San Andreas fault zone by Sieh, Kerry, Nagy, Elizabeth A.

“…A recently developed paleomagnetic extraction technique successfully permits sample collection from unconsolidated sediments. Traditional measurement and demagnetization procedures can subsequently be performed, and several studies have already shown that soft-sediment samples yield reliable magnetic polarity information. …”

Orbital stability in a classical pilot-wave system by Liu, Nicholas Z.

“…We conduct an analytical investigation into the stability of circular orbits using a generalised theoretical framework that allows for an exploration of classical pilotwave dynamics both inside and outside the experimentally accessible parameter regime. The exploration of parameter regimes beyond those accessible with the hydrodynamic system reveals much richer orbital dynamics. …”

Dynamics of time-modulated, nonlinear phononic lattices by Kim, Brian L., Chong, Christopher, Hajarolasvadi, Setare, Wang, Yifan, Daraio, Chiara

“…In the present work, the response of a one-dimensional phononic lattice with time-periodic elastic properties is studied with experimental, numerical and theoretical approaches in both linear and nonlinear regimes. The system consists of repelling magnetic masses with grounding stiffness controlled by electrical coils driven with electrical signals that vary periodically in time. …”

Dynamic properties of high-Tc superconducting nano-junctions made with a focused helium ion beam by Couëdo, François, Amari, Paul, Feuillet-Palma, Cheryl, Ulysse, Christian, Srivastava, Yogesh Kumar, Singh, Ranjan, Bergeal, Nicolas, Lesueur, Jérôme

“…At lower temperature and for the highest He irradiation dose, the shot noise contribution must also be taken into account when approaching the tunneling regime. We conclude that these Josephson nano-junctions present the lowest noise level possible, which makes them very promising for future applications in the microwave and terahertz regimes.…”

Plan Implementation Challenges in a Shrinking City: A Conformance Evaluation of Youngstown’s (OH) Comprehensive Plan With a Subsequent Zoning Code by Ryan, Brent D., Gao, Shuqi

“…Informants attribute the weak conformance between the comprehensive plan and the Youngstown Redevelopment Code to many of the former’s ideas not being legally defensible. Changing political regimes, shifts in public opinion, and the driving need for economic investment were also cited as contributors to this weak conformance. …”

Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…Using these prototypes, we study the mechanical behavior of the fabricated composites under uniaxial compression, with particular emphasis on the non-linear and failure regimes. We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”
