Therapeutic Plasma Exchange Is Feasible And Tolerable In Severely Injured Patients With Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy, Sarah A. Moore, Marian A. Rollins-Raval, Jennifer M. Gillette, Joseph E. Kiss, Darrell J. Triulzi, Mark H. Yazer, Jasmeet S. Paul, Christine M. Leeper, Matthew D. Neal, Jay S. Raval

Pathology Research and Scholarship

OBJECTIVES: Trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) occurs in a subset of severely injured trauma patients. Despite having achieved surgical hemostasis, these individuals can have persistent bleeding, clotting, or both in conjunction with deranged coagulation parameters and typically require transfusion support with plasma, platelets, and/or cryoprecipitate. Due to the multifactorial nature of TIC, targeted interventions usually do not have significant clinical benefits. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a non-specific modality of removing and replacing a patient's plasma in a euvolemic manner that can temporarily normalize coagulation parameters and remove deleterious substances, and may be beneficial in such patients with TIC.

Pathology Research and Scholarship

This paper explores the exposome concept and its role in elucidating the interplay between environmental exposures and human health. We introduce two key concepts critical for exposomics research. Firstly, we discuss the joint impact of genetics and environment on phenotypes, emphasizing the variance attributable to shared and nonshared environmental factors, underscoring the complexity of quantifying the exposome's influence on health outcomes. Secondly, we introduce the importance of advanced data-driven methods in large cohort studies for exposomic measurements. Here, we introduce the exposome-wide association study (ExWAS), an approach designed for systematic discovery of relationships between phenotypes and various exposures, identifying significant …

Automated Stategraft: Electronic Enforcement Technology And The Economic Predation Of Black Communities, Sonia Gipson Rankin, Melanie E. Moses, Kathy Powers

Faculty Scholarship

Automated traffic enforcement systems disproportionately impact Black communities in the United States. This Essay uncovers a troubling reality: while technologies such as speed cameras and red light cameras are often touted as tools for public safety by the National Highway Safety Transportation Administration, they disproportionately burden Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. The authors coin the term “automated stategraft” to describe this phenomenon—an insidious process that siphons financial resources from already vulnerable groups under the guise of law enforcement. In doing so, it exacerbates economic disparities and erodes trust in legal and governmental institutions.

This Essay delves into the biases inherent in …

MultiAlism, a concept developed by Florentin Smarandache, is utilized to bridge the gaps and contradictions between these systems by focusing on areas of neutrality such as cultural diversity and power structure critiques. The research emphasizes the importance of incorporating both ancestral wisdom and modern critiques to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Latin America’s rich philosophical heritage. This integrative approach offers practical insights for developing inclusive policies …

A Review At Two Nuclear Reactor Problems In Asia, Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

The development of nuclear power plants (NPP) is often a heated debate, especially in developing countries [1]. In relation to this, it is worth the public's attention that lately, it seems that there have been increasingly frequent press releases from various parties representing the government regarding plans to build the first nuclear fission reactor in Indonesia in the not too distant future. Reportedly there will be a large amount of additional energy supply planned (around 100 GW to be built in Indonesia within the coming decade). For this reason, the authors would like to invite readers to take a moment …

Enhancing Set-Theoretic Research Methods With Neutrosophic Sets, Maikel Yelandi Leyva Vázquez, Jesús Estupiñán Ricardo, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

This study employed the integration of neutrosophic set theory with set-theoretic methods and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to examine intricate social phenomena. Participants' opinions and attitudes were captured using neutrosophic Likert scales, which reflected elements of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. This proposal is illustrated in a case study facilitated a more comprehensive and subtle examination, emphasizing the significance of variables such as motivation, instructional excellence, and educational resources in achieving academic accomplishment. The results of the necessary condition analysis and set coincidence analysis indicated that motivation and teaching quality have the highest individual impact. Nevertheless, the convergence of scholarly resources, …

‘People With Disabilities,’ ‘Disabled People,’ Or ‘The Disabled’: A Corpus Analysis Of Disability Labeling Constructions, Eliza Forrest

Linguistics ETDs

The way language shapes perceptions about disability is a complex and long-debated topic within popular disability discourse. With the rise of “person-first” language in recent decades, this debate has shifted toward a grammatical, rather than lexical one, contrasting forms such as people with disabilities, disabled people, and the disabled. While these different construction types—prepositional, attributive, and nominalized, respectively—refer to the same entity, the purported connotations of each have been highly contested. Despite this, research on the topic has been limited and mixed, particularly for studies focusing on actual usage. By analyzing these constructions in the Corpus of …

Ncmpy: A Modelling Software For Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps Based On Python Package, Ilanthenral Kandasamy, Divakar Arumugam, Aryan Rathore, Ateeth Arun, Manan Jain, Vasantha Kandasamy, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Cognitive Maps are a vital tool that can be used for knowledge representation and reasoning. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) are popular soft computing techniques used to model large and complex systems, and they can aid in explainable AI. FCMs, however, cannot model the indeterminacy that arises in a system due to various uncertainties. Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps (NCMs), upgraded FCMs that could model indeterminacy, was introduced to address this issue. NCMs are a generalization of FCMs, a field of cognitive science firmly based on neural networks. NCMs have been used to solve a wide range of problems. NCMs were introduced in …

A Decision-Making Approach Incorporating Todim Method And Sine Entropy In Q-Rung Picture Fuzzy Set Setting, Büşra Aydoğan, Murat Olgun, Florentin Smarandache, Mehmet Unver

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this study, we propose a new approach based on fuzzy TODIM (Portuguese acronym for interactive and multicriteria decision-making) for decision-making problems in uncertain environments. Our method incorporates group utility and individual regret, which are often ignored in traditional multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. To enhance the analysis and application of fuzzy sets in decision-making processes, we introduce novel entropy and distance measures for q-rung picture fuzzy sets. These measures include an entropy measure based on the sine function and a distance measure derived from the Jensen-Shannon divergence. In our methodology, incorporating the sine function into the entropy measure stands out …

Progress In Physics: Twentieth Year Of Publication, Florentin Smarandache, Andreas Ries, Pierre Millette, Ebenezer Chifu

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

The journal Progress in Physics was created in January 2005 on behalf of many influential scientists with whom we were in correspondence. The main reason was that publications in other journals were allowed only if the submitter was affiliated with a scientific institution or research organization. Given this situation, many working scientists finding themselves partially employed or unemployed, such as in between research grants, find themselves unable to publish their research results. Even e-print archives such as Cornell’s arXiv required scientific affiliation and still follow this policy.

Jonckheere Trend Test Under Indeterminacy With Applications, Abdulrahman Alaita, Muhammad Aslam, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

The classical Jonckheere trend test is a non-parametric statistical tool usually employed to compare the medians of multiple independent groups, especially when there is a natural ordering or trend among the groups. This paper aims to develop a more comprehensive and adaptable version of the Jonckheere trend test, called the neutrosophic Jonckheere trend test (NJT), which can be used to analyze di_erent types of uncertainty data. This paper discusses neutrosophic hypotheses and decision rules pertaining to the NJT test. Furthermore, the practical uses of the NJT test have been discussed in the context of real-world applications with COVID-19 data. Lastly, …

Computation Of Separate Ratio And Regression Estimator Under Neutrosophic Stratified Sampling: An Application To Climate Data, Abhishek Singh, Hemant Kulkarni, Florentin Smarandache, Gajendra K. Vishwakarma

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

In this article, we introduce a novel approach by presenting separate ratio and regression estimators in the context of neutrosophic stratified sampling for the very first time, incorporating auxiliary variables. We have conducted a thorough analysis to estimate these newly proposed estimators' bias and mean square error (MSE) up to the first-order approximation. Theoretically using efficiency comparison criteria, our findings demonstrate the superior performance of these estimators compared to traditional unbiased estimators. Also, numerically based on real-life and artificial data, we have shown the supremacy of the neutrosophic stratified sampling over neutrosophic simple random sampling along with the supremacy of …

A Neutrosophic Approach To Study Agnotology: A Case Study On Climate Change Beliefs, Florentin Smarandache, Maikel Leyva Vázquez

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

Misinformation and biased information significantly impact public perception and political decisions, especially on critical issues such as climate change and environmental conservation. This study aims to understand how indeterminacy and contradiction influence public perception and policy formulation by applying neutrosophic theory to model the complexity and multi-dimensionality of ignorance. Using neutrosophic Likert scales, we capture a nuanced spectrum of opinions on the scientific certainty of human impact on climate change. The results are analyzed through a k-means clustering algorithm to identify patterns and segment participants into groups based on their levels of truth, indeterminacy, and falsehood. This approach reveals deeper …
