Bottom of the Data Pyramid: Big Data and the Global South

International Journal of Communication, 2016
To date, little attention has been given to the impact of big data in the Global South, about 60% of whose residents are below the poverty line. Big data manifests in novel and unprecedented ways in these neglected contexts.

The influence of the tamped out foundation on the calculable strength of the footing base/Plūktinio pamato formos įtaka pado pagrindo skaičiuojamajam stiprumui

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2001
Foundations, erected in the tamped out trenches, are distinguished for a greater bearing capacity of the base in comparison with the foundations which are erected in the dug out trenches. They are also economic in respect of energy and material.

Strategy of Triple‐Gradient in Binary Pixels for Flexible Pressure Sensing with High Sensitivity and Wide‐Range Linearity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A flexible pressure sensor with triple‐gradient design of conductivity, modulus, and dimension in binary micro‐dome pixels is proposed. Based on precisely‐designed CNT/PDMS matrix, the device exhibits a linear sensitivity of 974.1 kPa−1 across range up to 1.8 MPa (R2 > 0.99), offering an effective strategy for potential applications in healthcare ...

Neuropeptide Y—Graphene Oxide Complexes Inhibit Amygdala NPY‐Receptor Expressing Glutamatergic Pathways and Selectively Remove Aversive Memory In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A graphene oxide nanocarrier presents neuropeptide Y specifically to NPY receptor‐expressing pathways in the amygdala, whose activation selectively suppresses aversive memory formation, without modulating anxiety responses. This circuit‐restricted drug release strategy may impact future design of neuropsychiatric therapies with limited off‐target ...

Polydopamine Nanoparticle‐Mediated Precise Near‐Infrared Optical Stimulation for Cognitive Enhancement

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polydopamine nanoparticles enable a precise, non‐genetic, and transcranial neuromodulation strategy via near‐infrared photothermal stimulation. By activating TRPV1 channels, this approach specifically enhances hippocampal gamma oscillations, thereby rescuing spatial memory deficits in models of perioperative neurocognitive disorder.

Underlying determinants of health provider choice in urban slums: results from a discrete choice experiment in Ahmedabad, India

BMC Health Services Research, 2018
Background Severe underutilization of healthcare facilities and lack of timely, affordable and effective access to healthcare services in resource-constrained, bottom of pyramid (BoP) settings are well-known issues, which foster a negative cycle of poor ...

Kirigami‐Cut Pattern Designs for the Enhancement of Sensing Performance Induced by Programmable Out‐of‐Plane Deformation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Different kirigami patterns are proposed and the parameters are optimized by comparing the out‐of‐plane deformation behavior. Then, the proposed patterns are fabricated on PVDF film using laser technology. The deformed kirigami‐cut PVDF is embedded into PDMS to construct pressure senor.
