Abstract:
The shortage of organs and the growing need for them over recent years have led to the adoption of less stringent donor acceptance criteria, resulting in the approval of marginal organs for transplant, especially from elderly donors. This implies a higher risk of graft dysfunction, a higher frequency of immunological and vascular complications, and shorter graft survival. Several strategies have been implemented in clinical practice to assess graft quality and suitability for transplantation. We have started to test the prospective intraoperative use of thermo-vision cameras during graft reperfusion. Images were acquired using the FLIR One Pro thermo-vision camera for android devices. We hypothesized that thermal images would give a better perspective about the quality of arterial perfusion and graft revascularization of the renal cortex. Thermo-vision cameras provide an easy-to-use, noninvasive, cost-effective tool for the global assessment of kidney graft cortical microcirculation in the immediate post-reperfusion period, providing additional data on the immediate viability and function of a graft.

Abstract:
The present study was investigated on the melting phenomena and the accelerative factors of phase change material (PCM) by acoustic streaming induced ultrasonic vibrations. To investigate the melting phenomena and accelerative factors, the experimental study was measured the liquid temperature and melting time of PCM and was observed the velocity vectors and thermal fluid flow induced acoustic streaming to investigate the heat transfer using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and infrared thermo vision camera, respectively. Also, the numerical study based on a coupled finite element-boundary element method (Coupled FE-BEM) was performed to investigate the analysis of pressure field in the PCM. The results of experimental works revealed that acoustic streaming observed by PIV and infrared thermo vision camera is one of the prime effects accelerating phase change heat transfer. And, the final temperature of PCM is lower and melting speed is 2.6 times faster than that without ultrasonic vibrations when ultrasonic vibrations are applied. The results of numerical work presented that acoustic pressure is higher near the ultrasonic transducer than other points where no ultrasonic transducer was installed and develops more intensive flow such as acoustic streaming, destroying the flow instability. Moreover, the profile of acoustic pressure variation is consistent with that of enhancement of heat transfer.

Abstract:
Contact lenses are widely prescribed for vision correction, and as such they are an attractive platform for drug delivery to the anterior segment of the eye. This manuscript explores a novel strategy to drive the reversible adsorption of peptide-based therapeutics using commercially available contact lenses. To accomplish this, thermo-sensitive elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) alone or tagged with a candidate ocular therapeutic were characterized. For the first time, this manuscript demonstrates that Proclear CompatiblesTM contact lenses are a suitable platform for ELP adsorption. Two rhodamine-labelled ELPs, V96 (thermo-sensitive) and S96 (thermo-insensitive), were employed to test temperature-dependent association to the contact lenses. During long-term release into solution, ELP coacervation significantly modulated the release profile whereby more than 80% of loaded V96 retained with a terminal half-life of ~4 months, which was only 1–4 days under solubilizing conditions. A selected ocular therapeutic candidate lacritin-V96 fusion (LV96), either free or lens-bound LV96, was successfully transferred to HCE-T cells. These data suggest that ELPs may be useful to control loading or release from certain formulations of contact lenses and present a potential for this platform to deliver a biologically active peptide to the ocular surface via contact lenses.

Abstract:
Atualmente, há diversos modelos de instrumentos termohigrômetros, utilizados em grande variedade de aplicações nas organizações, cujas medições de temperatura e umidade relativa se fazem necessárias. Nas atividades referentes ao desenvolvimento, fabricação e utilização desses instrumentos, há a necessidade de inspeções funcionais neles, para avaliações sobre as medições proporcionadas. De forma pertinente ao exposto, neste trabalho, é apresentada abordagem sobre os elementos do projeto conceitual de um sistema que utiliza visão computacional para apoio à realização da inspeção de tipo específico de termohigrômetro digital, em operações que envolvem a leitura e o registro das medidas indicadas no instrumento, como parte do procedimento adotado para a inspeção em questão. O tipo de termohigrômetro digital abordado é caracterizado: por ser de indicação digital em única face do invólucro; possuir mostrador de cristal líquido com dígitos de sete segmentos e notação em ponto decimal; apresentar em regiões distintas os dados das medições simultâneas de temperatura e umidade relativa; por não dispor de recursos de comunicação para aquisição dos dados das medições. O projeto conceitual do sistema abordado é caracterizado por explorar conceitos da aplicação de recursos de aquisição de imagens e reconhecimento óptico de caracteres, com a finalidade de dispor imagens e dados em meios computacionais, de forma automatizada, para auxiliar as operações de leitura e registro das medidas indicadas no termohigrômetro sob inspeção, sendo as informações resultantes acessíveis por outros sistemas computacionais. Os componentes para experimentos apresentaram resultados satisfatórios nos testes práticos, validando os princípios de funcionamento dos elementos implementados, do sistema de inspeção e da aplicação. Os objetivos propostos foram atingidos, haja vista que os estudos expostos permitem oferecer contribuição para as atividades referentes ao desenvolvimento, fabricação e utilização de termohigrômetros do tipo em questão, com ênfase para o âmbito daquelas relacionadas aos segmentos das aplicações de sistemas computacionais, voltadas para automatizações de processos de inspeção desse tipo de instrumento, para as quais possam ser estendidos os conceitos abordados.
Currently, there are many thermo hygrometer instruments that are used in several applications in organizations in which measurements of temperature and relative humidity are required. In order to verify the measurements provided by these instruments, it is necessary to perform functional inspection tests in them, in development, manufacture and usage activities, in order to verify the measurements provided by these instruments. In this paper, an approach of the elements used in a conceptual system using computer vision to support digital thermo hygrometer inspection is presented. The computer vision is used in operations that involve reading and recording of measurements in the instrument as part of the procedure adopted for their inspection. The kind of digital thermo hygrometer addressed in this paper is a digital instrument, with a liquid crystal display using seven-segment digits and a decimal point notation, which shows simultaneous measurements of temperature and relative humidity in different locations of its display, and which doesnt have communication resources for reading the measurement data. The system conceptual design explores concepts that use resources for acquiring images and for optical character recognition, in order to automatically provide images and data in a computer media, and assist the operations of reading and recording measures indicated by the thermo hygrometer. The resulting information can be accessible by other computer systems. The components used for experiments presented satisfactory results in practical tests, validating the principles of operation of the implemented elements of the inspection system and application. The proposed objectives were achieved, given the fact that the studies exposed here make it possible to offer assistance to activities related to the development, manufacture and use of thermo hygrometers of the type in question, with emphasis on those related to the scope of segments of applications for computing systems oriented to the automation of inspection processes of this type of instrument, for which the concepts covered may be extended.

Abstract:
En avril 2010, l’éruption de l’Eyjafjallajökull (Islande) a projeté des cendres sur toute l’Europe pendant six jours, causant d’importantes perturbations aériennes. Cette crise a soulevé la nécessité de mieux comprendre la dynamique des panaches lors de l’émission, de la dispersion, et de la retombée afin d’améliorer les modèles de suivis et de prédiction de ces phénomènes. Cette éruption a été classée comme Strombolienne. Ce type d’éruption offre un large panel de manifestations (coulée de lave, paroxysmes) et peut être utilisé comme indicateur d’éruptions plus dangereuses. Les éruptions stromboliennes permettent généralement une observation à quelques centaines de mètres tout en assurant la sécurité des opérateurs et du matériel. Depuis 2001, les caméras thermiques ont été de plus en plus utilisées pour comprendre la dynamique des évènements volcaniques. Toutefois, l’analyse, la modélisation et le post-traitement de ces données thermiques n’est toujours pas totalement informatisé. Durant ma thèse, j’ai étudié les différentes composantes d’une éruption strombolienne depuis les fines particules éjectées au niveau du cratère jusqu’à la vision d’ensemble offerte par les images satellites. Dans l’ensemble, j’ai caractérisé les émissions volcaniques à travers l’imagerie thermique
In April 2010, the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull (Iceland) threw volcanic ash across northwest Europe for six days which led to air travel disruption. This recent crisis spotlighted the necessity to parameterise plume dynamics through emission, dispersion and fall out as to better model, track and forecast cloud motions. This eruption was labeled as a Strombolian-to-Sub-Plinian eruption type. Strombolian eruptions are coupled with a large range of volcanic event types (Lava flows, paroxysms) and eruption styles (Hawaiian, Sub-plinian) and offer a partial precursory-indicator of more dangerous eruptions. In addition, strombolian eruptions are small enough to allow observations from within few hundred meters with relative safety, for both operators and material. Since 2001, thermal cameras have been increasingly used to track, parameterise and understand dynamic volcanic events. However, analyses, modelling and post-processing of thermal data are still not fully automated. In this thesis, I focus on the different components of strombolian eruptions at the full range of remote sensing spatial scales. These range from millimeters for particles to kilometers for the entire features via satellite images. Overall, I aim to characterise volcanic emissions through thermal vision

This thesis presents a multi-feature histogram approach to track a person in thermal vision. Illumination variation is a primary constraint in the performance of object tracking in visible spectrum. Thermal infrared (IR) sensor, which measures the heat energy emitted from an object, is less sensitive to illumination variations. Therefore, thermal vision has immense advantage in object tracking in varying illumination conditions. Kernel based approaches such as mean shift tracking algorithm which uses a single feature histogram for object representation, has gained popularity in the field of computer vision due its efficiency and robustness to track non-rigid object in significant complex background. However, due to low resolution of IR images the gray level intensity information is not sufficient enough to give a strong cue for object representation using histogram. Multi-feature histogram, which is the combination of the gray level intensity information and edge information, generates an object representation which is more robust in thermal vision. The objective of this research is to develop a robust human tracking system which can autonomously detect, identify and track a person in a complex thermal IR scene. In this thesis the tracking procedure has been adapted from the well-known and efficient mean shift tracking algorithm and has been modified to enable fusion of multiple features to increase the robustness of the tracking procedure in thermal vision. In order to identify the object of interest before tracking, rapid human detection in thermal IR scene is achieved using Adaboost classification algorithm. Furthermore, a computationally efficient body pose recognition method is developed which uses Hu-invariant moments for matching object shapes. An experimental setup consisting of a Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) camera, mounted on a Pioneer P3-DX mobile robot platform was used to test the proposed human tracking system in both indoor and uncontrolled outdoor environments. The performance evaluation of the proposed tracking system on the OTCBVS benchmark dataset shows improvement in tracking performance in comparison to the traditional mean-shift tracking algorithm. Moreover, experimental results in different indoor and outdoor tracking scenarios involving different appearances of people show tracking is robust under cluttered background, varying illumination and partial occlusion of target object.

Abstract:
The waste of building energy consumption is a major challenge in the world. And the real-time detection of human thermal comfort is an effective way to meet this issue. As mentioned in name, it means to detect the human’s comfort level in real-time and non-invasively. However, due to the various factors such as individual difference of thermal comfort, elements related to climatic (temperature, humidity, illumination, etc.) and so on, there is still a long way to implement this strategy in real life. From another perspective, the current HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) systems cannot provide flexible interaction channels to adjust atmosphere, and naturally fails to satisfy requirements of users. All of them indicate the necessity to develop a detection method for human thermal comfort. In this paper, a non-invasion detection method toward human thermal comfort is proposed from two perspectives: macro human postures and skin textures. In posture part, OpenPose is used for analyzing the position coordinates of human body key points’ in images, for example, elbow, knee, and hipbone, etc. And the results of analyzing would be interpreted from the term of thermal comfort. In skin textures, deep neural network is used to predict the temperature of human skins via images. Based on Fanger’s theory of thermal comfort, the results of both parts are satisfying: subjects’ postures can be captured and interpreted into different thermal comfort level: hot, cold and comfort. And the absolute error of prediction from neurons network is less than 0.125 degrees centigrade which is the equipment error of thermometer used in data acquisition. With the solution proposed by this paper, it is promising to non-invasively detect the thermal comfort level of users from postures and skin textures. Finally, theconclusion and future work are discussed in final chapter.
Slöseriet med att bygga energiförbrukningen är en stor utmaning i världen. Ochdetektering av mänsklig termisk komfort i realtid är ett effektivt sätt att lösaproblemet. Som nämns i namn betyder det att detektera människans komfortnivå i realtid och icke-invasivt. På grund av de olika faktorerna som individuell skillnad i termisk komfort, är emellertid faktorer som är relaterade till klimat (temperatur, luftfuktighet, belysning etc.) det fortfarande en lång väg att implementera denna strategi i verkligheten. Från ett annat perspektiv kan nuvarande system för uppvärmning, ventilation och luftkonditionering inte tillhandahålla flexibla interaktionskanaler för att anpassa atmosfären och naturligtvis misslyckas till nöjda krav från användarna. Alla indikerar nödvändigheten av att utveckla en detekteringsmetod för mänsklig termisk komfort. I detta dokument föreslås en ickeinvasion detekteringsmetod mot mänsklig termisk komfort från två perspektiv: makro mänskliga hållningar och hudtexturer. I hållningspartiet används OpenPose för att analysera positionskoordinaterna för kroppens huvudpunkter i bilder, till exempel armbåge, knä och höftben osv. Och resultaten av analysen skulle tolkas från termen av termisk komfort. I hudtexturer används djupt neuralt nätverk för att förutse temperaturen på mänskliga skinn via bilder. Baserat på Fangers teorin om värmekomfort är resultaten av båda delarna tillfredsställande: subjektens hållningar kan fångas och tolkas till olika värmekomfortnivåer: varm, kall och komfort. Och det absoluta felet av prediktering från neuronnätverket är mindre än 0,125 grader Celsius, vilket är utrustningsfelet hos termometern som används vid datainsamling. Med lösningar i detta papper är det lovande att detektera användarens värmekomfortnivå fritt från invändningar och hudtexturer. Slutligen diskuteras slutsatserna och detframtida arbetet i sista kapitlet.

Abstract:
Pedestrian detection is a canonical instance of object detection that remains a popular topic of research and a key problem in computer vision due to its diverse applications. These applications have the potential to positively improve the quality of life. In recent years, the number of approaches to detecting pedestrians in monocular and binocular images has grown steadily. However, the use of multispectral imaging is still uncommon. This thesis work presents a novel approach to data and feature fusion of a multispectral imaging system for pedestrian detection. It also includes the design and building of a test rig which allows for quick data collection of real-world driving. An application of the mathematical theory of trifocal tensor is used to post process this data. This allows for pixel level data fusion across a multispectral set of data. Performance results based on commonly used SVM classification architectures are evaluated against the collected data set. Lastly, a novel cascaded SVM architecture used in both classification and detection is discussed. Performance improvements through the use of feature fusion is demonstrated.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses the issue of ground collision in poor weather conditions. As bad weather is an adverse factor when airplanes are taxiing, an obstacle detection system based on thermal vision is proposed to enhance the awareness of pilots during taxiing in poor weather conditions. Two infrared cameras are employed to detect the objects and estimate the distance of the obstacle. The distance is computed by stereo vision technology. A warning will be given if the distance is less than the safe distance predefined. To make the system independent, the proposed system is an on-board system which does not rely on airports or other airplanes. The type of obstacle is classified by the temperature of the object. Fuzzy logic is employed in the classification. Obstacles are classified into three main categories: aircraft, vehicle and people. Membership functions are built based on the temperature distribution of obstacles measured at the airport. In order to improve the accuracy of classification, a concept of using position information is proposed. Different types of obstacle are predefined according to different area at the airport. In the classification, obstacles are classified according to the types limited in that area. Due to the limitation of the thermal infrared camera borrowed, images were captured first and then processed offline. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the detecting distance error and the performance of system in poor weather conditions. The classification of obstacle is simulated with real thermal images and pseudo position information at the airport. The results suggest that the stereo vision system developed in this research was able to detect the obstacle and estimate the distance. The classification method classified the obstacles to a certain extent. Therefore, the proposed system can improve safety of aircraft and enhance situational awareness of pilots. The programming language of the system is Python 2.7. Computer graphic library OpenCV 2.3 is used in processing images. MATLAB is used in the simulation of obstacle classification.

Abstract:
This article appears in theOxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aestheticsedited by John Richardson, Claudia Gorbman, and Carol Vernallis. Referring to the relationship between visual and audible dimensions of music performance as an “economy” suggests that they may not work hand-in-hand. There can be competition for the audience’s attention and to influence its understanding of the performance. Relationships between sight and sound can be normative or traditional, or challenge norms. The “traditionalist” view emphasizes visible causality: what the audience sees should provide information about how the sound is being produced and perhaps about the musician’s affective state. Visual information that does not contribute to this is interference. The relative value of sound and visual information varies by genre. But even performers operating within traditionalist values sometimes challenge them by manipulating the relationship between the auditory and visual aspects in ways that go against the grain. An example is the use of light shows in both psychedelic rock and classical music concerts in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Abstract:
Joseph Smith, the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, remembered that his first audible prayer, uttered in spring 1820, resulted in a vision of heavenly beings who forgave him and told him Christianity had gone astray. “The Mormon narrative,” according to a 2012 blog post, “seems to always start with a young boy who asked God a question one spring morning in 1820.” That is true if one qualifies the always, for it has not always been so. When and why and how did Joseph Smith’s “first vision,” as Latter-day Saints or “Mormons” know the event, become their seminal story? What challenges did it face along the way? What changes did it undergo as a result? Can it possibly hold its privileged position against the tides of doubt and disbelief, memory studies, and source criticism—all in the information age? First Vision tells how Joseph Smith—by remembering his past in various present contexts—opened the way for alternatives, how saints chose the collective memory they did, and what difference it has made for them and their critics. This book is the biography of a contested memory and how it was born, grew, changed the world, and was changed by it.

Abstract:
Although Bull is often identified as a theorist of international society, this volume has shown that there is more to The Anarchical Society than international society, narrowly construed. The contemporary relevance of Bull’s work is clearest when we recognize the flexibility of his conceptual framework and, in particular, the often overlooked potential of his concept of the ‘world political system’, of which modern international society is only a part. It is also helpful to recognize the provisional nature of Bull’s intellectual priorities and of his empirical and evaluative judgements. Bull’s argument that international society provides the surest route to world order reflected his judgement at ‘present’ and we can revise it today without doing violence to his intellectual project. This concluding essay highlights the flexibility of Bull’s approach and the provisional nature of his judgements while also reviewing the limits of this flexibility and identifying possible future directions of inquiry.

Abstract:
Elaine de Kooning (1918–1989) was a noted art critic and artist, and a prime mover in the New York art world. She was a vivacious social catalyst. Her sparkling wit enlivened meetings of the Club, nights at the Cedar Tavern, and chance conversations on the street. Her droll sense of humor, generosity of spirit, and freewheeling spending were as legendary as her ever-present cigarette. An incisive writer, she pinpointed the essence of artists as diverse as Franz Kline and August Renoir, and deftly refuted pompous critical rhetoric. As a painter, she melded Abstract Expressionism with her lifelong interest in bodily movement to capture the characteristic postures of portrait sitters ranging from artist and writer friends to President John F. Kennedy. Driven to focus on a single theme for years at a stretch, she produced multiple paintings reflecting her fascination with people and animals in motion; her subjects include bullfighting, basketball, Paleolithic cave paintings, and a multi-figure sculpture in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. Married to Willem de Kooning from 1943 until her death, she credited him as her greatest influence. Although the couple separated in 1957, after episodes of unfaithfulness on both sides, nearly two decades later she bought a house near his to rescue him from severe alcoholism. Rather than being overshadowed by his fame, she said, she worked “in his light.”

Abstract:
Advocating for people with epilepsy is a call to action that is answered by many people with epilepsy and their families and friends. Over the past 25 years, there has been a surge in grassroots efforts to support epilepsy research and increase community awareness. Visions: The Inspirational Journeys of Epilepsy Advocates contains stories from people, who after being directly affected by epilepsy, made efforts to improve the lives of people with epilepsy. Whether a person with epilepsy, a parent, a spouse, a sibling, or a friend, the journeys of the advocates and the advocacy efforts exemplified in this book are creative, brave, and inspirational. Each story takes the reader through the advocate’s journey from epilepsy to advocacy, describing their motivation, the advocacy work, and the importance of advocacy for people with epilepsy.

Abstract:
This article examines republican conception of political theory in Europe during the early modern period. It explains that there were two distinct kinds of republican political theory. One was Roman in origin and the other was Greek which valued the natural ordering of the state made possible by the regulation of wealth. The article discusses republicanism in Italy and suggests that the battle between Rome and Greece defined the development of republican political theory throughout the early-modern period.

Abstract:
The Strategic Data and Information Management (GEDI, as per Portuguese initials) in PETROBRAS (Brazilian oil company - Gas & Power Business Unit), has as its main process to turn available the most correct and updated information to the related user, using the adequate means to access and capture of data, coming from a variety of sources, in order to add strategic value to business. The SCADA system (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) integrates the facilities of thermo electrical plant and pipeline with the field, including operational stations, measurements and energy deliveries. The Geographical Information Systems (GIS) allows the use of maps to visualize the geopolitics aspects, gas pipeline infrastructure and satellite images. The historical data systems has as its requirements, the interface among many SCADA systems, through the tracking of historical data, common process variables real time data (flow, pressure, temperature, etc.) and KPI’s visualization (typical performance indicators of energy systems such as unavailability, generation efficiency, distribution, etc.). Based on the business systemic vision, the Real-Time Enterprise Architecture (real time data integration and performance indicators based on the GIS software platform ) was developed for PETROBRAS, Gas & Power Business Unit (GPBU) enterprise scenario. The present work has its focus in the real time visualization of integrated data, coming from gas pipelines and thermo electrical plants GIS infra-structure, guaranteeing the integrity, the audit trail of information and a proactive vision for the GPBU management.

Abstract:
Due to the Portland cement chemical reaction, which always takes place in a hardening concrete, a certain amount of heat is released. This heat should be quantified, as it can harm or aid the concrete itself, depending on the concrete components, structure element, ambient and building site conditions. There are number of possible setups for the monitoring of heat of hydration, two of which have been applied in the case presented in this paper. Four concretes were monitored with the use of the two stated techniques for 24 hours. First technique used is thermo-vision camera which monitored the surface, and the second is thermosensor - used for monitoring of interior of fresh concrete hardening mass. The potential of the applied setup lays in the ease of installation, low price, and possibilities of mass application, which could substantially aid the monitoring and prevent concrete failure.

Abstract:
The research is based on the statement that retina produces the proper level of electrical activity, sourcing visual system. I started the research with partial darkening of different parts of the visual fields of humans to register possible psychological and physiological changes. The tested showed dramatically increasing variability and number of changes within just four exact types of darkening. More, emotional and physiological aspects of those changes were polarized into general acceptance and general rejection of a certain type of darkening in most of the individual tests. Thus the tested formed two opposite groups within every one of those types of darkening: a group with general negative reactions and a group with general positive ones. Further, those types of darkening turned out combined in pairs. General tune of reactions of most of the tested changed to strictly reverse within a pair of upper-lower types of darkening of peripheral vision and outer-inner ones as well. Between the pairs of types of darkening, there was no correspondence. The tested showed stability of their reactions during at least several months. Thus I may state a possibility of existence in the visual system of humans of two independent neuropsychological structures both having two alternative modes of functioning with a stable preference of just one of them in every individual case. If it is true, there may be a vision-based typology.

Full text
Abstract:
The last decade has brought a row of substantial changes that have profound implications for the traditional hydrocarbon resource-rich economies. Economic conditions may change radically either throughout a decade or within months. The question is whether there is no other option for a hydrocarbon resource-rich economy than to be held hostage to the fluctuations in global oil prices. The general answer to a changing environment is: Adapt! From the macroeconomic perspective, this means diversifying the economy to broaden the income base and significantly reduce the dependence on oil revenues. The Saudi Vision 2030 represents a complex plan for substantial socioeconomic adjustments that are about to move the economy toward a more diversified and sustainable one. This discussion paper examines the preferred diversification paths for the Saudi economy in more detail, with a focus on the foreseen adjustments in the sectoral composition of the economy along with broader macroeconomic shifts. The evaluation of the foreseen diversification impacts is based on the updated Vision 2030 Input-Output Table that maps the changing structure of the Saudi economy over the coming decade. We discuss the assumed expansion of the diversification frontrunners, their changing contribution to the overall economic activity and identify the preferred diversification paths for the Saudi economy. The advances in economic diversification are measured by applying the Shannon-Weaver index to sectoral GDP and household income. The expected sectoral changes are wide-reaching, so the basic macroeconomic relations are also subject to adjustments. We also conduct a sensitivity analysis to examine the effects of the foreseen diversification on the resilience of the Saudi economy to external shocks.

Full text
Abstract:
This brief distils best data practice recommendations through consideration of key issues involved in the use of technology for surveillance, fact-checking and coordinated control during crisis or emergency response in resource constrained urban contexts. We draw lessons from how data enabled technologies were used in urban COVID-19 response, as well as how standard implementation procedures were affected by the pandemic. Disease control is a long-standing consideration in building smart city architecture, while humanitarian actions are increasingly digitised. However, there are competing city visions being employed in COVID-19 response. This is symptomatic of a broader range of tech-based responses in other humanitarian contexts. These visions range from aspirations for technology driven, centralised and surveillance oriented urban regimes, to ‘frugal innovations’ by firms, consumers and city governments. Data ecosystems are not immune from gendered- and socio-political discrimination, and technology-based interventions can worsen existing inequalities, particularly in emergencies. Technology driven public health (PH) interventions thus raise concerns about 1) what types of technologies are appropriate, 2) whether they produce inclusive outcomes for economically and socially disadvantaged urban residents and 3) the balance between surveillance and control on one hand, and privacy and citizen autonomy on the other.

Abstract:
The ERDC 2020–2030 Strategy outlines the origination of the organization, future direction, and the methods used to accomplish its research and development mission. The Strategy details the Ends (where we are going and why), the Ways (how we will get there), and the Means (the resources needed to get there) by which we will achieve the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) strategy. To realize its vision and maintain its world-class status, ERDC strives to be the go-to organization for the Warfighter and the nation to solve large complex problems in its mission space. To strengthen the outcomes from the Ends, Ways, and Means, ERDC has adopted the philosophy of the Understand-Predict-Shape (UPS) paradigm. The UPS paradigm maximizes the potential of ERDC’s current research programs and helps contemplate, develop, and define the organization’s future portfolio. UPS represents a holistic view of the operational environment: How to better Understand the Present, Predict the Future, and Shape the Outcome. The ERDC leadership team has looked toward the future and defined major strategic Science and Technology campaigns that offer challenges that ERDC can, and should, effectively address.
