Attention as Practice: Buddhist Ethics Responses to Persuasive Technologies

Bombaerts, Gunter (author), Anderson, Joel (author), Dennis, Matthew James (author), Gerola, Alessio (author), Frank, Lily (author), Hannes, Tom (author), Hopster, Jeroen (author), Marin, L. (author), Spahn, Andreas (author)

The “attention economy” refers to the tech industry’s business model that treats human attention as a commodifiable resource. The libertarian critique of this model, dominant within tech and philosophical communities, claims that the persuasive technologies of the attention economy infringe on the individual user’s autonomy and therefore the...

Analyzing the Impact of Evolving Combustion Conditions on the Composition of Wildfire Emissions Using Satellite Data

Anderson, Lindsey D. (author), Dix, Barbara (author), Schnell, Jordan (author), Yokelson, Robert (author), Veefkind, j. Pepijn (author), Ahmadov, Ravan (author), de Gouw, Joost (author)

Wildfires have become larger and more frequent because of climate change, increasing their impact on air pollution. Air quality forecasts and climate models do not currently account for changes in the composition of wildfire emissions during the commonly observed progression from more flaming to smoldering combustion. Laboratory measurements...

Lysolipids are prominent in subretinal drusenoid deposits, a high-risk phenotype in age-related macular degeneration

Anderson, David M G (author), Kotnala, Ankita (author), Migas, L.G. (author), Patterson, N. Heath (author), Tideman, L.E.M. (author), Ach, Thomas (author), Tortorella, Sara (author), Van de Plas, Raf (author), Curcio, Christine A. (author), Schey, Kevin L. (author)

Introduction: Age related macular degeneration (AMD) causes legal blindness worldwide, with few therapeutic targets in early disease and no treatments for 80% of cases. Extracellular deposits, including drusen and subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD; also called reticular pseudodrusen), disrupt cone and rod photoreceptor functions and strongly...

Estimation of drone intention using trajectory frequency defined in radar's measurement phase planes

Yun, Joongsup (author), Anderson, David (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)

This paper presents a radar-based algorithm for autonomous estimation of drone intention. The algorithm is based on radar's kinematic measurements, providing fast and robust intention estimation for multiple targets. The core idea of the proposed algorithm is to build intention-specific features for each intention in advance and use them in...

Lazy Lagrangians for Optimistic Learning With Budget Constraints

Anderson, Daron (author), Iosifidis, G. (author), Leith, Douglas J. (author)

We consider the general problem of online convex optimization with time-varying budget constraints in the presence of predictions for the next cost and constraint functions, that arises in a plethora of network resource management problems. A novel saddle-point algorithm is designed by combining a Follow-The-Regularized-Leader iteration with...

Expanding the genome editing toolbox of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the endonuclease ErCas12a

Bennis, N.X. (author), Anderson, Jonah P. (author), Kok, Siebe M.C. (author), Daran, J.G. (author)

ErCas12a is a class 2 type V CRISPR-Cas nuclease isolated from Eubacterium rectale with attractive fundamental characteristics, such as RNA self-processing capability, and lacks reach-through royalties typical for Cas nucleases. This study aims to develop a ErCas12a-mediated genome editing tool applicable in the model yeast Saccharomyces...

Automated Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) Detection and Analysis

Vermeer, Lukas (author), Anderson, K.S. (author), Acebal, Mauricio (author)

Background: Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) checks can help detect data quality issues in online experimentation [3]. Not all experimentation platforms provide these checks as part of their solution. Users of these platforms must therefore manually check for SRM, or rely on additional processes—such as checklists [2]—or automation. Objective: To...

Challenges in Applying Continuous Experimentation: A Practitioners' Perspective

Anderson, K.S. (author), Visser, Denise (author), Mannen, Jan-Willem (author), Jiang, Yuxiang (author), van Deursen, A. (author)

Background: Applying Continuous Experimentation on a large scale is not easily achieved. Although the evolution within large tech organisations is well understood, we still lack a good understanding of how to transition a company towards applying more experiments. Objective: This study investigates how practitioners define, value and apply...

Protocol for multimodal analysis of human kidney tissue by imaging mass spectrometry and CODEX multiplexed immunofluorescence

Neumann, Elizabeth K. (author), Patterson, Nathan Heath (author), Allen, Jamie L. (author), Migas, L.G. (author), Yang, Haichun (author), Brewer, Maya (author), Anderson, David M. (author), Harvey, Jennifer (author), Harris, Raymond C. (author), Van de Plas, Raf (author)

Here, we describe the preservation and preparation of human kidney tissue for interrogation by histopathology, imaging mass spectrometry, and multiplexed immunofluorescence. Custom image registration and integration techniques are used to create cellular and molecular atlases of this organ system. Through careful optimization, we ensure high...

The Caucasus region is a meeting point for culture and nature, lying at the nexus of Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa, and identified as one of 36 global biodiversity hotspots. The Republic of Georgia, the center of the Caucasus biodiversity hotspot, encompasses a geographically diverse landscape inhabited by a remarkable,...

Server-Side Experimentation: Common challenges from 12 organisations in The Netherlands

Anderson, K.S. (author), van den Berg, Tom (author), van Deursen, A. (author)

Background: experimentation is widely adopted within industry. Many large organisations have invested in their own infrastructure to be able to run experiments server-side. Objective: we wanted to investigate why organisations switch to server-side experimen- tation and which challenges they encounter in doing so. Method: a qualitative virtual...

Partitioning the Uncertainty of Ensemble Projections of Global Glacier Mass Change

Marzeion, Ben (author), Hock, Regine (author), Anderson, Brian (author), Bliss, Andrew (author), Champollion, Nicolas (author), Fujita, Koji (author), Huss, Matthias (author), Immerzeel, Walter W. (author), Zekollari, H. (author)

Glacier mass loss is recognized as a major contributor to current sea level rise. However, large uncertainties remain in projections of glacier mass loss on global and regional scales. We present an ensemble of 288 glacier mass and area change projections for the 21st century based on 11 glacier models using up to 10 general circulation...

Long-term impacts of rising sea temperature and sea level on shallow water coral communities over a similar to 40 year period

Brown, B. E. (author), Dunne, R. P. (author), Somerfield, P. J. (author), Edwards, A. J. (author), Simons, W.J.F. (author), Phongsuwan, N. (author), Putchim, L. (author), Anderson, L. (author), Naeije, M.C. (author)

Effects of combined rising sea temperature and increasing sea level on coral reefs, both factors associated with global warming, have rarely been addressed. In this ~40 y study of shallow reefs in the eastern Indian Ocean, we show that a rising relative sea level, currently estimated at ~11 mm y−1, has not only promoted coral cover but also has...

Towards A Flood Risk Assessment On A Reef-lined Coastline

Rueda, Ana (author), Cagigal, Laura (author), Anderson, Dylan (author), Storlazzi, Curt (author), van Dongeren, Ap (author), Pearson, S.G. (author), Marra, John (author), Ruggiero, Peter (author), Mendez, Fernando J. (author)

The assessment of coastal flood risk on a reef-lined coastline presents several challenges. From the probabilistic side, we need to consider all possible events that could occur in the system, taking into account the different contributions of waves, storm surges, and tides that contribute to the total water level. To estimate reliable flood...
