Haunted Care: Engaging Health Hauntology to Understand Health Citizenship in Evolving Welfare States

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper applies a hauntological framework to explore how health citizenship in the UK is shaped by the spectral presence of neoliberal policies, particularly through increased use of Public‐Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS).

Imaging sonar-aided navigation for autonomous underwater harbor surveillance [PDF]

2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010
In this paper we address the problem of drift-free navigation for underwater vehicles performing harbor surveillance and ship hull inspection. Maintaining accurate localization for the duration of a mission is important for a variety of tasks, such as planning the vehicle trajectory and ensuring coverage of the area to be inspected.

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

Coverage and Connectivity in Three-Dimensional Networks

, 2006
Most wireless terrestrial networks are designed based on the assumption that the nodes are deployed on a two-dimensional (2D) plane. However, this 2D assumption is not valid in underwater, atmospheric, or space communications. In fact, recent interest in

Interferon Regulatory Factor 2 (IRF2) Suppression Enhances Murine Cardiac Allograft Survival Through Immune Evasion

Immunology, EarlyView.
Our data show that suppressing IRF2, genetically or by siRNA, modulates PD‐L1 and MHC‐I levels. This induced immune‐evasive state critically underlies the significantly prolonged survival of cardiac allografts, revealing a novel therapeutic avenue.

Blue Laser Underwater Optical Visible Light Communication Using Recursive OFDM

Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences
Water covers more than 75% of the earth's surface in the form of the ocean. The ocean investigation is far-fetched because the underwater environment has distinct phenomenal activities.

Resilient Biophysical Phenotype of Memory CD4+ T Cells in Long‐Lived Mice

Immunology, EarlyView.
Aging is associated with increased stiffness and reduced migratory capacity of memory CD4+ T cells; however, these biophysical declines do not persist in exceptionally long‐lived mice. Instead, long‐lived individuals preserve T cell mechanics, migration and intracellular architecture, supporting mechanical resilience as a hallmark of successful immune ...
