Who Masks? Correlates of Individual Location-Masking Behavior in an Online Survey (Short Paper)
Geomasking traditionally refers to a set of techniques employed by a data steward to protect the privacy of data subjects by altering geographic coordinates. Data subjects themselves may make efforts to obfuscate their location data and protect their geoprivacy. Among these individual-level strategies are providing incorrect address data, limiting the precision of address data, or map-based location masking. This study examines the prevalence of these three location-masking behaviors in an online survey of California residents, finding that such behavior takes place across social groups. There are no significant differences across income level, education, ethnicity, sex, and urban locations. Instead, the primary differences are linked to intervening variables of knowledge and attitudes about location privacy
An Analytic Approach to Understanding Process Dynamics in Geodesign Studies
Recent advances in planning support technologies has enabled interactive collaboration in design processes by multiple stakeholder groups. The available technologies collect and store information on both the evolution of design alternatives and the interactions of participants involved in the design process. However, making sense of available process log-data is still a challenge. This study focuses on process analytics in geodesign studies, where iterative collaboration between stakeholders generates design alternatives and consensus by negotiation. Early findings demonstrate how geodesign process analytics makes it possible to gain insights both in recurrent patterns in participant behavior and in the evolution of the design. The approach, based on the enhanced adaptive structuration theory framework, has been tested using data collected by the Geodesignhub web-based collaborative planning support systems in the Cagliari (Italy) geodesign study

All-dimensional H2–CO potential: Validation with fully quantum second virial coefficients
We use a new high-accuracy all-dimensional potential to compute the cross second virial coefficient B12(T) between molecular hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The path-integral method is used to fully account for quantum effects. Values are calculated from 10 K to 2000 K and the uncertainty of the potential is propagated into uncertainties of B12. Our calculated B12(T) are in excellent agreement with most of the limited experimental data available, but cover a much wider range of temperatures and have lower uncertainties. Similar to recently reported findings from scattering calculations, we find that the reduced-dimensionality potential obtained by averaging over the rovibrational motion of the monomers gives results that are a good approximation to those obtained when flexibility is fully taken into account. Also, the four-dimensional approximation with monomers taken at their vibrationally averaged bond lengths works well. This finding is important, since full-dimensional potentials are difficult to develop even for triatomic monomers and are not currently possible to obtain for larger molecules. Likewise, most types of accurate quantum mechanical calculations, e.g., spectral or scattering, are severely limited in the number of dimensions that can be handled
Fully quantum calculation of the second and third virial coefficients of water and its isotopologues from ab initio potentials
Path-Integral Monte Carlo methods were applied to calculate the second, B(T), and the third, C(T), virial coefficients for water. A fully quantum approach and state-of-the-art flexible-monomer pair and three-body potentials were used. Flexible-monomer potentials allow calculations for any isotopologue; we performed calculations for both H2O and D2O. For B(T) of H2O, the quantum effect contributes 25% of the value at 300 K and is not entirely negligible even at 1000 K, in accordance with recent literature findings. The effect of monomer flexibility, while not as large as some claims in the literature, is significant compared to the experimental uncertainty. It is of opposite sign to the quantum effect, smaller in magnitude than the latter below 500 K, and varies from 2% at 300 K to 10% at 700 K. When monomer flexibility is accounted for, results from the CCpol-8sf pair potential are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data and provide reliable B(T) values at temperatures outside the range of experimental data. The flexible-monomer MB-pol pair potential yields B(T) values that are slightly too high compared to experiment. For C(T), our calculations confirm earlier findings that the use of three-body potential is necessary for meaningful predictions. However, due to various uncertainties of the potentials used, especially the three-body ones, we were not able to establish benchmark values of C(T), although our results are in qualitative agreement with available experimental data. The quantum effect, never before included for water, reduces the magnitude of the classical value for H2O by a factor of 2.5 at 300 K and is not entirely negligible even at 1000 K
