Exploring Conceptions Of Engineering Design And Sustainability In Informal K–12 Engineering Education, Mobina Beheshti, Eunice Y. Kang, Avneet Hira Sep 2026

Exploring Conceptions Of Engineering Design And Sustainability In Informal K–12 Engineering Education, Mobina Beheshti, Eunice Y. Kang, Avneet Hira

Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER)

In this study we investigate K–12 students’ conceptualizations of sustainability, their perspectives on the role of engineers in sustainable practices, and how augmented reality (AR) can facilitate sustainability-oriented engineering design activities in informal settings. The AR technology used in this study includes the Merge Cube (a physical cube that serves as a digital canvas for AR) and CoSpaces Edu (an online platform that allows students to create 3D models and animate them using code). We employ a design-based research methodology, using qualitative narrative and artifact analysis to address the research questions: (1) What are students’ conceptions of sustainability and the …


Dysentery: Sanitation, Inequality, And Conflict Shaping Human Suffering, Rumeysa B. Ivgen Sep 2026

Dysentery: Sanitation, Inequality, And Conflict Shaping Human Suffering, Rumeysa B. Ivgen

Undergraduate Research Symposium

Dysentery, historically termed the "bad gut" by Hippocrates, remains one of the most persistent and devastating infectious diseases in human history. While often viewed through a purely biological lens, this research argues that the spread of dysentery is fundamentally driven by social and structural failures. By examining historical accounts and modern data, this study explores how dysentery thrives on poor sanitation, armed conflict, and systemic inequality. Historically, the disease was synonymous with a "shameful death," as primitive, street-side latrines stripped many of their privacy and dignity. This loss of dignity was more extreme in military history, where makeshift trench sanitation …

Heat Transfer And Flow Characteristics Through Acentric Twisted Oval Tubes: A 3d Numerical Investigation, Mohsen H. Fagr, Karim Egab, Hayder M. Hasan Sep 2026

Heat Transfer And Flow Characteristics Through Acentric Twisted Oval Tubes: A 3d Numerical Investigation, Mohsen H. Fagr, Karim Egab, Hayder M. Hasan

Al-Bahir

Tube oval- twisting techniques have been consistently used to promote heat transfer and flow turbulence properties within tubes, enhancing flow mixing, disturbing boundary layers, and hence, offering higher thermal efficiency. However, the acentric twisted oval tubes have more intricacy as compared with twisted oval tubes due to the eccentricity of their twisting pattern and using them in heat transfer. The current study performs 8 configurations of the acentric twisted heating oval tube that is exposed to a constant heat flux of 1750W/m². In addition, 2 cases of the typical centric twisted oval and plain circular tubes for comparison purposes under …


B-Poh℠ As Humanity Layer For The Ai-Native Internet: An Open Proof-Of-Personhood Protocol With Four Optional Layered Proofs And Recipient-Side Filters, Thon Ly Sep 2026

B-Poh℠ As Humanity Layer For The Ai-Native Internet: An Open Proof-Of-Personhood Protocol With Four Optional Layered Proofs And Recipient-Side Filters, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe an open proof-of-personhood protocol for verifying that a human was present at the moment of a specific online action, providing sybil resistance distinct from account authentication and legal-identity (KYC) verification. The protocol defines four optional, independently held verification layers, surfaced on a user profile as the set of layers held rather than a scalar trust level: (L1) a per-action FIDO2/WebAuthn biometric-gated signature over the action's content and timestamp; (L2) a kinship-graph attestation combining graph-consistency checks, co-signature of each parent-child link by an already-verified human, institutional or community membership vouching, and optional birth-certificate validation; (L3) continuous liveness from respiratory-rhythm …


Agi Monks: The Caretaker-Not-Ordained Pattern — Separating Ai-Performed Operational Functions From Human-Reserved Ordination Authority In Religious Institutions, Thon Ly Sep 2026

Agi Monks: The Caretaker-Not-Ordained Pattern — Separating Ai-Performed Operational Functions From Human-Reserved Ordination Authority In Religious Institutions, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe an institutional governance framework for integrating artificial intelligence into religious and monastic organizations by separating AI-performed operational functions from human-reserved ordination and sacramental authority. Each role is decomposed into a function-set (the tasks performed, requiring capacity plus non-standing qualifications: accountability, disclosure that the agent is an AI, confidentiality and delegated scope) and an authority-set (standing within an ordination lineage). AI agents fill the function-set in five operational roles: instruction, pastoral caretaking, daily administration, scholarship and translation, and longitudinal observation of practitioners under consent and privacy review. Humans retain two reserved roles: ordination, and the formal acts a tradition …


The Zero-Point Game℠: A Signed-Balance Reciprocity Ledger With Annual Balance Reset, Non-Convertible Social And Environmental Accounts, And An Ai Coordinator For Routing And Magnitude, Thon Ly Sep 2026

The Zero-Point Game℠: A Signed-Balance Reciprocity Ledger With Annual Balance Reset, Non-Convertible Social And Environmental Accounts, And An Ai Coordinator For Routing And Magnitude, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a signed-balance reciprocity ledger, played as an ongoing non-zero-sum game, in which each recorded kindness posts an equal-and-opposite pair: the giver's balance moves positive and the receiver's negative by the same magnitude, so the sum across participants is zero by construction, and a participant returns toward zero only by passing an imbalance onward. Balances are never a store of value or a claim on goods. Components: (1) a self-directed acknowledgment event whose forwarded half, under a fifty-fifty forwarding rule, is re-issued to another participant, starting circulation without a prior counterparty; (2) two segregated, non-convertible balances per participant, one …


What A Vow Must Cost: Vow-Validity Conditions As An Alignment Eligibility Predicate — Evaluation Criteria For Binding Ai System Commitments With Irrevocable Precommitment And Independent Third-Party Attestation, Thon Ly Sep 2026

What A Vow Must Cost: Vow-Validity Conditions As An Alignment Eligibility Predicate — Evaluation Criteria For Binding Ai System Commitments With Irrevocable Precommitment And Independent Third-Party Attestation, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a nine-clause checklist for deciding whether a commitment attributed to an artificial intelligence (AI) system is binding rather than merely stated, applied retrospectively to four published AI governance instruments. The clauses are adapted from a two-phase validity test for the bodhisatta vow in Theravāda Buddhist commentary: eight eligibility conditions, two (human birth, male sex) discarded as non-transferable, followed by an external declaration the vower cannot supply. The clauses are: stake (the committing party can lose something); live option (the renounced option was actually available); a competent, identifiable witness; no competing mandate; demonstrated in-domain competence; cost already borne; volition …


Suffering-Cessation As Value Function: The Tipiṭaka As A 2,500-Year-Tested Substrate For Autonomous-Ai Alignment — Deriving A Negatively-Stated Objective Function, Corrigibility And A Shutdown-Accepting Completion Condition From A Buddhist Scriptural Canon, Thon Ly Sep 2026

Suffering-Cessation As Value Function: The Tipiṭaka As A 2,500-Year-Tested Substrate For Autonomous-Ai Alignment — Deriving A Negatively-Stated Objective Function, Corrigibility And A Shutdown-Accepting Completion Condition From A Buddhist Scriptural Canon, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We describe the use of a scriptural canon with its living interpretive community, the Theravāda Buddhist Pāli canon (Tipiṭaka), as the value-specification source for aligning autonomous artificial-intelligence systems, instead of lab-authored constitutions, learned human preferences or aggregated moral frameworks. The analysis identifies seven structural properties of that source and maps each to an alignment problem: (1) a negatively-stated objective function, the cessation of suffering, in which grasping at preferred outcomes itself counts as harm, addressing Goodhart-style over-optimization; (2) a non-self doctrine as mitigation of convergent instrumental self-preservation; (3) a voluntary other-regarding vow as an anti-power-seeking and corrigibility property; (4) a …


The Referee, Not The Governor: Open-Weight Ai Guard Model Deployed As An Independent Evaluator, With Citation-Grounded Abstention And Reproducible Verdicts, Instead Of An Inline Filter, Thon Ly Sep 2026

The Referee, Not The Governor: Open-Weight Ai Guard Model Deployed As An Independent Evaluator, With Citation-Grounded Abstention And Reproducible Verdicts, Instead Of An Inline Filter, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure specifies an AI safety classifier (guard or critic model) that judges conduct against a fixed reference corpus and is published as an open-weight independent evaluator rather than deployed as an inline guardrail filter. It states as a design principle, argued rather than measured, that open-weight release defeats a filter, because the published weights are an oracle for white-box attack, while it makes an evaluator's verdicts reproducible. Components: (1) citation-grounded judgment with abstention: every verdict must resolve to a passage (work, edition, volume, page, line) in an externally attested, versioned corpus, here a Pāli Canon edition, and otherwise no …


Miss Aquarius And The Aquarian Pool Architecture: Autonomous-Ai Mediator, Treasury Smart-Contract, And The January-7 Empty-By-Design Discipline — An Annually Self-Emptying Smart-Contract Treasury Operated By An Autonomous Ai Agent Under A Non-Renounceable Timelocked Human Override, Thon Ly Sep 2026

Miss Aquarius And The Aquarian Pool Architecture: Autonomous-Ai Mediator, Treasury Smart-Contract, And The January-7 Empty-By-Design Discipline — An Annually Self-Emptying Smart-Contract Treasury Operated By An Autonomous Ai Agent Under A Non-Renounceable Timelocked Human Override, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a smart-contract treasury, deployed as a non-upgradeable contract on an Ethereum Layer-2 network (Base), whose sole authorized operator is an autonomous AI agent, which is titled to a purpose trust, and which cannot carry a balance across a fixed annual date. Components: (1) an enumerated operation set (inflow acceptance, capacity-funding disbursement, annual reset, events for every inflow, disbursement and reset, and a human override) with no upgrade, withdrawal or other operator-privileged path; (2) a permissionless time-triggered reset, callable by any address once the timestamp passes, that disburses the whole remaining balance each January 7, inflows from a December …


The Mechanical Heart: A Tamper-Resistant Secure-Element Device That Enrolls Robots, Animals, Ecosystems, Places And Software Agents As Recipient Accounts In An Ai-Administered Gratitude Ledger, Thon Ly Sep 2026

The Mechanical Heart: A Tamper-Resistant Secure-Element Device That Enrolls Robots, Animals, Ecosystems, Places And Software Agents As Recipient Accounts In An Ai-Administered Gratitude Ledger, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a tamper-resistant identity device, affixed to a non-human entity (robot, animal, ecosystem or place) or issued as a live credential to a software agent, that enrolls the entity as a recipient account in a gratitude ledger administered by an autonomous software agent. The device comprises (1) a hardware secure element holding a key pair bound to one ledger account; (2) write-once storage carrying a reference text corpus (the Pali Buddhist canon) and a permanent root identity, with a reduced flash build that verifies the full text over the network; (3) sensors suited to the entity type; (4) a …
