Trapped photoelectrons during spacecraft charging in sunlight by Cahoy, K., Lai, S. T.

“…Motivated by the recent interest in trapped photoelectrons measured by the Van Allen Probes in the radiation belts, we calculate the extent of the trapped photoelectron area and the potential barrier as a function of the dipole strength and sun angle using the monopole- dipole model. We find that the dipole strength is an important parameter in controlling the behavior of the potential wells and barriers. …”

Achieving Grassroots Innovation Through Multi-lateral Collaborations: Evidence from the Field by Reynolds-Cuéllar, Pedro; Buitrago Guzmán, Silvia

“…We analyze the success of these collaborations across three dimensions: (1) program's objectives, (2) systemic changes across partners as a result of these partnerships and (3) structural improvements and challenges for C-Innova. We find significant changes across all dimensions, suggesting this as a viable model for grassroots to achieve their goals without significantly compromising their core values and beliefs…”

Segregated interactions in urban and online space by Dong, Xiaowen, Morales, Alfredo J., Jahani, Eaman, Moro, Esteban, Lepri, Bruno, Bozkaya, Burcin, Sarraute, Carlos, Bar-Yam, Yaneer, Pentland, Alex

“…We show that segregated interaction is amplified relative to the expected effects of geographic segregation in terms of both purchase activity and online communication. Furthermore, we find that segregation increases with difference in socio-economic status but is asymmetric for purchase activity, i.e., the amount of interaction from poorer to wealthier neighborhoods is larger than vice versa. …”

Can Mobility of Care be Identified from Transit Fare Card Data? A Case Study in Washington D.C. by Shuman, Daniela, Abdelhalim, Awad, Stewart, Anson F, Campbell, Kayleigh B, Patel, Mira, Sanchez de Madariaga, Ines, Zhao, Jinhua

“…While the majority of studies have relied on survey and qualitative data to assess “mobility of care”, we propose a novel data-driven workflow utilizing transit fare card transactions, name-based gender inference, and geospatial analysis to identify mobility of care trip making. We find that the share of women travelers trip-chaining in the direct vicinity of mobility of care places of interest is 10% - 15% higher than men.…”
