Developing a critical caste analysis within information science and technology: A research review: An annual review of information science and technology paper

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Caste—an ascriptive social hierarchy in South Asia and its diaspora—is a globalized phenomenon. Recent caste‐based discrimination, particularly in technology companies and anti‐caste efforts to address it, has compelled academia, policy, and the technology industry to better understand contemporary mechanics of caste.

On finitely subadditive outer measures and modularity properties

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2003
Let ν be a finite, finitely subadditive outer measure on P(X). Define ρ (E)=ν (X)−ν (E′) for E⊂X. The measurable sets Sν and Sρ and the set S={E⊂X/ν (E)=ρ (E)} are investigated in general, and in the presence of regularity or modularity assumptions on

RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines From DPP4‐Using Merbecoviruses Elicit a Cross‐Reactive Antibody Response but Limited Cross‐Protective Immunity

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles displaying RBD‐SD1 from MERS‐CoV, NL140422, and HKU4 elicited robust and cross‐reactive IgG responses in mice. Only MERS‐CoV RBD‐SD1 induced neutralizing antibodies against MERS‐CoV and protected human DPP4 mice from a MERS‐CoV challenge, indicating conserved serologic but limited cross‐neutralizing epitopes.
