This study investigated whether self‐reported impact of financial debt on health is different for women as compared with men. We found that female respondents are more likely to report that debt has affected their health. The results persisted when the analysis was performed on subsamples of employed individuals, married households and those with underwater mortgage (i.e., outstanding balance on mortgage...
A National Science Foundation-funded Research Coordination Network called the “Research Coordination Network: OceanObs” (RCN) is addressing approaches for improving interdisciplinary research capabilities in the ocean sciences. In addition, the RCN continues tasks that focus on improved observation capabilities and on community outreach and education. A working group has addressed issues and challenges...
Location based services (LBSs) have raised serious privacy concerns in the society, due to the possibility of leaking a mobile user's location information in enabling location-dependent services. While existing location-privacy studies are mainly focused on preventing the leakage of user's location in accessing the LBS server, the possible privacy leakage during the localization process has been largely...
The need for improved coordination in ocean observations is more urgent now given the issues of climate change, sustainable food sources, natural hazards. Through an NSF-sponsored Ocean Research Coordination Network, a multidisciplinary team is addressing approaches for collaboration and issues that should be addressed to create an effective environment for collaboration within the ocean research...
Non-stationary reflections from moving sea surface, along with unpredictable oceanographic phenomena such as surface wave focussing render multipath interference in shallow water acoustics difficult to model or track in real time. Traditional equalization techniques have met limited success in underwater acoustic communications due to these rapid channel fluctuations as well as time-varying sparsity...
