Spectrum auctions are an important area of public policy that has attracted widespread attention not only among scholars but also the general public. Some milestones are the first spectrum auctions in the United States, in 1994, the high revenue auctions of “3G spectrum” in the United Kingdom and Germany at the turn of the millennium, and the award of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences to Robert Wilson and Paul Milgrom in 2020, in part, for developing new formats used in spectrum auctions.

Pandemics Are A regrettable constant not just of modern life, but of all human life.
大流行病不仅是现代生活的常态，也是全人类生活的常态，令人遗憾。

What is Someone with a doctorate in Cultural Studies doing at an artificial intelligence (AI) Institute? A lot actually. As a Knowledge Mobilization Advisor at Concordia’s Applied AI Institute, I translate feminist principles into AI research and development strategies. If this surprises you, consider how my colleagues (in both worlds) felt. You work where? You studied what? The path from studying feminist stand-up comedy—highlighting the social and political implications of shared laughter—to being a core part of Concordia’s Applied AI Institute (AI2) [1] is not straightforward, but it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary AI research. My arrival, discussed here, demonstrates why my perspective as a feminist scholar is important and necessary for the future of AI research.

Have You Ever wondered what governments that collect deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), do with the data? In 2009, I completed a Masters in the Faculty of Law at the University of Wollongong Australia, exploring the impact of DNA storage in all its forms ( Figure 1 ). Encouraged by my thesis supervisor, Associate Professor Clive Harfield, formerly of the Center for Transnational Crime Prevention (CTCP) at UOW, I investigated the S and Marper case [1] , [4]

The Oxford English Dictionary lists eight distinct meanings for the noun “wave” and 10 for the verb form. Physical phenomena of waves, as known by scientists and engineers, are ubiquitous and include those on water surfaces, in sound, seismology, clouds, electromagnetism, cosmic gravitational radiation, in sand, and so on. In the conventional technical sense, waves almost always have some mathematically stated connection between the wavelength (distance between crests), the phase speed (or frequency), and, sometimes, the amplitude. Various exceptions are known, including solitary waves (solitons) and shock waves. Often the waves are mere propagators of motion, but in other cases, they can transport material as well. With the evolution of the English language, the term “wave” has been invoked to describe a huge variety of phenomena ranging from waves of disease, disorder, and emotion, to hair (“permanent waves”), to crowd behavior in stadiums, to “waving” goodbye, to the World War II women's military WAVES, to the titles of novels—for example, from Virginia Woolf.

When I Was growing up, my best friend’s father lost his job in the great collapse of Eastern Airlines. I was just a kid, so I did not really understand the ins and outs at the time, but what I now know is that his was a very good job, a union job on the ground crew that paid a genuine middle-class wage. It was the sort of job that was getting harder and harder to come by in late 20th-century America, and in the end, he was not able to find another like it. So, instead, he enrolled in a driving school, earned his commercial driver’s license, and went to work for a long-haul trucking company. At first, he was away from home for long stretches but whenever he returned, he would regale us with tales of his many adventures on the road. After several years, he started to drive more local routes, and after a few more, he financed his own rig and became an owner-operator specializing in shorter hauls. For him, trucking was a smart choice, a way to earn a middle-class wage comparable to what he once made at Eastern. Indeed, the success he found in long- and short-haul trucking seemed to validate all of the rosy promises the industry made (and continues to make) in its recruitment materials. Surely, you have seen them, plastered on the back of 18-wheelers everywhere: “50 cents a mile! No experience needed! Guaranteed home time! Excellent lease-to-own terms available! Call now!”
