A tangled pathology: how AIDS became a "family disease" in Newark, New Jersey, 1970-1997
No full textAs AIDS proliferated in Newark, New Jersey through the 1980s, local AIDS-care advocates conceptualized AIDS in ways that reflected the disease’s impact on Newarkers. In reframing a problem that was predominately cast as a “gay disease” in North America, AIDS activists in Newark sought to highlight the growing prevalence of HIV and AIDS among urban communities of color. These efforts sought to direct national attention and resources towards affected “at risk” Newarkers by self-consciously portraying HIV and AIDS as a disease of the family. The lynchpin in this discourse was the pediatric AIDS patient. Discussions of HIV-positive children, and the “family disease” frame, became normalizing shorthand for addressing the complex biological transmission of the disease. By the late 1980s, advocates for Newark recognized the political utility in characterizing AIDS as a family disease at a time when the federal government was preparing to allocate funds for the areas hardest hit by the epidemic. This unique discourse was particularly useful in not only drawing attention to the problem of AIDS, but also to the societal “ills” associated with the disease’s prevalence among impoverished communities of color in Newark. As the family disease discourse evolved, Newark came to represent the ubiquitous, albeit insidious, urban problems that contributed to and exacerbated the epidemic in similar U.S. cities. Reserved almost exclusively to descriptions of families of color, the family disease discourse must be understood as—an implicit, if not explicit—response to mainstream perceptions of the inner city. Efforts to cope with AIDS in Newark benefited from the family disease script. Yet the legacy of the family disease discourse perhaps further encumbered cultural perceptions of inner city families as well. The family disease discourse thus inextricably linked the AIDS epidemic in impoverished communities color, and inner city families, to the pernicious social pathologies narrative that had over-determined perceptions of Newark since the late1960s.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Jason M.

Autonomous mission manager for human cooperative systems
No full textThesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2008.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 88).Facilitating low level human supervisory control of mission management is highly challenging because of concerns regarding system stability and performance. Previous implementations of mission managers based on C. S. Draper Laboratory?s All-Domain Execution and Planning Technology (ADEPT) are based on an architecture that can be verified to act deterministically with scripted human interaction opportunities. This thesis describes the Human Interactive Mission Manager (HIMM), a general software architecture to facilitate human supervisory control level of interaction based on ADEPT. The HIMM provides operator insight and mission designer interaction mechanisms. These features provide interaction in a controlled but asynchronous way as a baseline service of the HIMM system. The design separates the information used by the operator from the data used by the mission manager so that the addition of asynchronous human interaction will not adversely affect normal execution. To explore the interaction mechanisms and exercise the system, the software was applied to a space domain application. This prototype system facilitates asynchronous input from a human operator to the mission manager.by Jason M. Furtado.M.Eng
Estuarine habitat ecology of adult weakfish (Cynoscion regalis): a multi-scale approach
No full textThe habitat ecology of adult weakfish (Cynoscion regalis) remains poorly understood, although they comprise an important ecological and economic portion of estuarine environments. Weakfish are particularly susceptible to confusion over how to best delineate important habitat resources, such as those used for reproduction, because they may change over multiple spatial (coastal and estuary) and temporal (seasonal and diel) scales. In this study, weakfish habitat dynamics were evaluated at multiple scales using acoustic telemetry within the Mullica River-Great Bay estuary in southern New Jersey. At the broader estuary scale, residency, habitat use, and movements were quantified across the reproductive/post-reproductive season. Tagged adult weakfish were resident in bay, lower river, and subtidal creek habitats during reproduction (May through July) and following the reproductive season (August through November) but showed limited use of inlet and upriver habitats in both seasons. Movement rates increased at the end of the post-reproductive season and weakfish apparently moved into fringing, unmonitored habitats within the study area following the reproductive period. Estuarine egress occurred throughout the study period but was lowest during July and highest during the final month of emigration in November. At smaller spatial scales, weakfish displayed patterns of site fidelity both seasonally and daily. At the seasonal scale, a majority of weakfish tagged in 2008 maintained fidelity to their original tagging location or established new “core areas” in other parts of the estuary. In both cases, fish were detected at these areas for the duration of their residency or made short- or long-term excursions before returning to their original core area. At the diel scale, weakfish displayed movements of varying distances from their original tagging location beginning around sundown and returning around the sunrise period, which also corresponds to the timing of nightly weakfish reproduction. These findings represent new evidence of the role that estuary habitats may play in adult weakfish life history and, because weakfish habitat dynamics may be influenced by reproduction, it will be important to incorporate these changes into future management of the fishery.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jason T.
