Wired Wisdom
A surprising window into the online lives of people sixty and over--offering essential insights, no matter your age. Many popular accounts say the older you are, the greater your tech struggles. And it's worrying to think of loved ones emailing cringe-worthy misinformation, falling for phishing attacks, or becoming lonelier with increasing time spent online. But in their eye-opening book on the internet's fastest-growing demographic, researchers Eszter Hargittai and John Palfrey offer a more nuanced picture--debunking common myths about older adults' internet use to offer hope and a necessary call to action. Incorporating original interviews and survey results from thousands of people sixty and over, Wired Wisdom shows that many, in fact, use technology in ways that put younger peers to shame. Over-sixties are often nimble online and quicker to abandon social media platforms that don't meet their needs. Despite being targeted more often, they also may be less likely to fall for scams than younger peers. And fake news actually fools fewer people over sixty, who have far more experience evaluating sources and detecting propaganda. Still, there are unseen risks and missed opportunities for this group. Hargittai and Palfrey offer practical advice and show that our stereotypes can be hurdles that keep us from building intergenerational support communities, helping loved ones adopt new technology that may improve their lives, and thriving together online.

AltGDmin
Federated learning and analytics are a distributed approach for collaboratively learning models from decentralized data, motivated by and designed for privacy protection. The distributed learning process can be formulated as solving federated optimization problems, which emphasize communication efficiency, data heterogeneity, compatibility with privacy and system requirements, and other constraints that are not primary considerations in other problem settings.This monograph describes a novel optimization solution framework, called alternating gradient descent (GD) and minimization (AltGDmin), that is useful for many problems for which alternating minimization (AltMin) is a popular solution. AltMin is a special case of the block coordinate descent algorithm that is used for certain classes of problems for which minimization with regards to one subset of variables, keeping the other fixed in closed form or otherwise reliably solved, for example for bilinear problems.This set of problems includes those for which one of the two minimization steps of an AltMin iteration is partly decoupled. An optimization problem is decoupled if it can be solved by solving smaller dimensional, and hence quicker, problems over disjoint subsets of the optimization variable.

Cryogenics and Measurement of Properties of Solids at Low Temperatures
Low temperature research has gained significant momentum in India, especially with the increased availability of closed-cycle refrigerators, which have made cryogenic studies more accessible and cost-effective. In light of this, it is timely and appropriate to compile a comprehensive resource aimed at students and researchers across the country. This book has been written with that purpose in mind-it focuses on the production of low temperatures and the experimental techniques used to measure the physical properties of materials under such conditions.The first part of the book explores various methods for achieving temperatures as low as 1.8 K, with particular emphasis on different types of closed-cycle refrigeration systems. It also covers in detail the behavior of material properties that are relevant to cryogenics. Practical guidance is provided on the construction of cryostats, and thermometry-the science of temperature measurement-is discussed at length.The second part of the book is dedicated to digital measurement techniques. It describes experimental procedures for determining thermal and electrical properties, as well as advanced techniques like point-contact tunneling, scanning probe microscopy, and low-temperature noise measurements. This section reflects the extensive personal experience of one of the authors (AKR) in conducting such experiments.An appendix on vacuum techniques is also included. The book is ideal for an M.Sc. elective in Low Temperature Physics and serves as a valuable reference for researchers in the field.
