Ainr: Automated Intrinsic Non-Rigid Registration For Accuracy Qualification Of Complex Freeform Products In 3d Printing, Weizhi Lin, Qiang Huang Oct 2025

Ainr: Automated Intrinsic Non-Rigid Registration For Accuracy Qualification Of Complex Freeform Products In 3d Printing, Weizhi Lin, Qiang Huang

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Non-rigid shape registration identifies the optimal non-rigid transformation between an actual product and its intended design to characterize their geometric dissimilarities. This transformation is usually determined by iteratively minimizing point-wise distances to match points with point-wise rigid motion. However, freeform products may exhibit complex spatial patterns of shape deviation, leading to premature iteration termination due to tradeoffs among local regions. One solution is to segment the complex design into semantic features and perform segment-wise rigid registration. Segment boundaries are typically placed along high-curvature regions, where deviations are more likely occur in 3D printing. However, since boundaries are generally more prone …


Discriminative Regions And Adversarial Sensitivity In Cnn-Based Malware Image Classification, Anish Roy, Fabio Di Troia Oct 2025

Discriminative Regions And Adversarial Sensitivity In Cnn-Based Malware Image Classification, Anish Roy, Fabio Di Troia

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

The escalating prevalence of malware poses a significant threat to digital infrastructure, demanding robust yet efficient detection methods. In this study, we evaluate multiple Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures, including basic CNN, LeNet, AlexNet, GoogLeNet, and DenseNet, on a dataset of 11,000 malware images spanning 452 families. Our experiments demonstrate that CNN models can achieve reliable classification performance across both multiclass and binary tasks. However, we also uncover a critical weakness in that even minimal image perturbations, such as pixel modification lower than 1% of the total image pixels, drastically degrade accuracy and reveal CNNs’ fragility in adversarial settings. A …

Robust Hashing For Improved Cnn Performance In Image-Based Malware Detection, Sanket Shekhar Kulkarni, Fabio Di Troia Oct 2025

Robust Hashing For Improved Cnn Performance In Image-Based Malware Detection, Sanket Shekhar Kulkarni, Fabio Di Troia

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

This paper presents a comparative study on the impact of robust hashing in enhancing image-based malware classification. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have shown promise when working with image-based malware samples, their performance degrades significantly when obfuscation techniques are taken into consideration to hamper the malware classification or detection. To address this, we apply a robust hashing technique that generates invariant visual representations of malware samples, enabling improved generalization under obfuscation implemented as image salting. Using a custom obfuscation method to simulate polymorphic variants, we evaluate MobileNet, ResNet, and DenseNet architectures across five salting conditions (0% to 40%). The results …

Converse Of Ptolemy’S Theorem, Hidefumi Katsuura Sep 2025

Converse Of Ptolemy’S Theorem, Hidefumi Katsuura

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

In The Almagest, we found the original Ptolemy’s theorem and its proof, and we compared it to “Ptolemy’s theorem” written in two modern geometry textbooks. They are different in that the new ones include the “converse” of the original one. We noticed the hypothesis of the “converse” can be interpreted in two ways. Using this as our motivation, we establish a new theorem related to Ptolemy’s theorem in this note as follows: If four distinct points A, B, C, D are given in the three-dimensional space so that ABC is a triangle, and if |AB||CD|+|AD||BC|=|AC||BD|, then the points A, B, …

Between Two Worlds: Nationality And Identity In Korean Immigrants – A Qualitative Exploration Of A Sense Of Belonging In California, The United States, Chulwoo Park, Patricia Angelica

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Background: Korean immigrants are among the top five Asian immigrant groups in California. Many came to the United States with a visa or green card, and later some became U.S. citizens. One’s nationality refers to the country of their legal citizenship, but it is often also the country where they were born. As some people renounce their citizenship from their country of origin, the impact of nationality on identity and the influence of identity on nationality have yet to be studied. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured, in-depth interviews between March 2023 and July 2023. A total of …

Synthetic Social Engineering Scenario Generation Using Llms For Awareness-Based Attack Resilience, Jade Webb, Faranak Abri, Sayma Akther

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Social engineering is found in a strong majority of cyberattacks today, as it is a powerful manipulation tactic that does not require the technical skills of hacking. Calculated social engineers utilize simple communication to deceive and exploit their victims, all by capitalizing on the vulnerabilities of human nature: trust and fear. When successful, this inconspicuous technique can lead to millions of dollars in losses. Social engineering is not a one-dimensional technique; criminals often leverage a combination of strategies to craft a robust yet subtle attack. In addition, offenders are continually evolving their methods in efforts to surpass preventive measures. A …

Hypoxia Exposure Fine-Tunes Mitochondrial Function In Sea Turtle Cells, B. Gabriela Arango, David C. Ensminger, Dianna Xing, Céline A. Godard-Codding, José Pablo Vázquez-Medina

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

Abstract: Sea turtles experience extreme fluctuations in oxygen levels derived from extended breath-hold diving, yet the cellular adjustments underlying hypoxia tolerance in these animals remain poorly understood. Here, we employed metabolite profiling, extracellular flux assays and microscopy analyses of the mitochondrial reticulum to investigate how primary cells derived from sea turtles and lizards cope with extended hypoxia exposure. Cells from both species proliferate in primary culture, stain positive for fibroblast markers, are metabolically active and stabilize HIF1-α when exposed to chemical or environmental hypoxia. In contrast to lizard cells, sea turtle cells exhibit a faster and more robust response to …
