C++ Iterator Hardening Via Restriction Of Scripting Engine And Inter-Process Communication Execution, Kentaro Hara Sep 2026

C++ Iterator Hardening Via Restriction Of Scripting Engine And Inter-Process Communication Execution, Kentaro Hara

Defensive Publications Series

Memory safety flaws, such as use-after-free vulnerabilities, are caused when collection structures are modified during active iteration loops. Modifications to an active collection structure are sometimes induced by unexpected execution of a scripting language engine or an inter-process communication mechanism, whereby dangling iterators are produced. To mitigate these flaws, a thread-local counter mechanism is disclosed. A counter within thread-local storage is modified across iterator lifecycle operations, including construction, copy construction, move construction, assignment, and destruction. Within a rendering process, execution of a scripting language engine is blocked via a process termination if a non-zero value is held within the counter. …

Coupled Möbius‑Geometry Magneto‑Fluidic Toroids With Distributed Electromechanical Transduction For Induction, Amplification, And Neuromorphic Signal Conditioning, Michael @ Gaiacortex Terzi, Michael Terzi Sep 2026

Coupled Möbius‑Geometry Magneto‑Fluidic Toroids With Distributed Electromechanical Transduction For Induction, Amplification, And Neuromorphic Signal Conditioning, Michael @ Gaiacortex Terzi, Michael Terzi

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a paired toroidal system containing a magneto‑responsive fluid and distributed electromechanical transducer elements. Each toroid operates in a distinct activation mode: one responds primarily to magnetic field variation, while the other responds primarily to electrical excitation within the fluid. The internal geometry may include non‑orientable pathways, such as Möbius‑like channels, which influence circulation, resonance, and signal propagation. The system enables coupled induction, amplification, and modulation behaviors suitable for neuromorphic, spintronic, or computational applications. Implementation details are intentionally omitted to avoid enabling reproduction.


Adaptive Homeostasis: A Strategy For Preserving Stability And Generative Capacity Under Uncertainty, Volodymyr Kotegov Sep 2026

Adaptive Homeostasis: A Strategy For Preserving Stability And Generative Capacity Under Uncertainty, Volodymyr Kotegov

Defensive Publications Series

This document offers a practical framework of priorities and working tools for people confronting a shrinking planning horizon, the declining value of conventional educational and professional pathways, rising psychophysical exhaustion, and a loss of coherent direction.

The strategy addresses two related tasks. The first is to protect psychological and physical health, secure basic material stability, and maintain the capacity for clear thinking. The second is to sustain generative capacity—the ability to produce non-trivial observations, hypotheses, and life trajectories. Generativity is treated first and foremost as a present-day resource. It supports a sense of meaning, adaptability, and psychological resilience. Secondarily, it …

Toward Ludic-Aware Narrative Generation: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework For Evaluating Playability In Llm-Generated Backstories, Luis Peña Sánchez, J.M. Peña, Rubén Cantos Leal Sep 2026

Toward Ludic-Aware Narrative Generation: A Neuro-Symbolic Framework For Evaluating Playability In Llm-Generated Backstories, Luis Peña Sánchez, J.M. Peña, Rubén Cantos Leal

Artículos científicos

Although Large Language Models (LLMs) produce fluent prose, they routinely tend to generate narratively sterile content for interactive media—backstories in which every conflict has been resolved before play begins, giving rise to what we call the Closure Paradox. Moreover, current evaluation metrics—from n-gram overlap to retrieval-augmented faithfulness scores—inadvertently reward this exact type of closure in cases in which it is undesired, leaving game designers without tools to measure whether a generated character is actually useful as a foundation for play. We propose a dual-axis evaluation framework that separates Temporal Consistency from Ludic Potential. Two new metrics anchor the framework: the …

Mining Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) compilation is indispensable in any Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study, yet the preparation of inventory data for import into LCA software remains one of the most time‑consuming and error‑prone steps in the LCA workflow. LCI datasets frequently originate from multiple data sources and formats, necessitating automation tools that can optimize inventory data for direct use in LCA modeling platforms. SimaPro, the world's leading LCA modeling platform, for example, requires inventory data to be structured according to a proprietary CSV specification that is labour-intensive to prepare manually. Existing tools remain largely inaccessible to most researchers due to …

Flow, an optimal experience characterized by deep immersion and engagement in an activity, has been extensively studied in behavioral research. However, its neural dynamic mechanism remains poorly understood. In a within-subject video gaming experiment, we captured neural activity underlying flow, boredom, and anxiety using a 64-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) system. Compared to boredom and anxiety, flow exhibits the highest global functional connectivity, metastability, and dimensionality of dynamic functional connectivity patterns, suggesting that flow is a highly adaptable process that is supported by high-dimensional neural dynamics. Unlike previous studies that focused on identifying static or localized brain activity, we examine the neural …


The Timing Of Albedo Declines With Reforestation, Christopher A. Williams, Surendra Shrestha, Susan Cook-Patton, Natalia Hasler, Drew E. Terasaki-Hart, Samantha Yeo Sep 2026

The Timing Of Albedo Declines With Reforestation, Christopher A. Williams, Surendra Shrestha, Susan Cook-Patton, Natalia Hasler, Drew E. Terasaki-Hart, Samantha Yeo

Geography

Reforestation is a leading climate solution for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but generally decreases surface albedo, which diminishes its climate mitigation value. Knowing how quickly this albedo effect unfolds relative to carbon removal is critical for planning climate mitigation actions, yet the temporal changes in albedo are poorly described. This study uses satellite observations to characterize temporal changes in albedo with stand development for different forest types and ecoclimatic settings around the world. We find that about half of the climate warming effect from decreased albedo occurs within 40 years, but that it takes anywhere from 50 to …

Opposition To Renewable Energy Facilities In The United States: September 2026 Edition, Romany M. Webb, Ivonne Norman

Sabin Center for Climate Change Law

For the first time in nearly 2 decades, the United States is seeing rapid growth in electricity demand, driven by the data center boom as well as expanding electrification. Total electricity use in the United States reached a record high of 4,430 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2025 — almost 3 percent above 2024 levels — and is expected to continue growing at a similar rate through 2050. Meeting this increased demand, while continuing to advance action on climate change, will require a massive ramp up in renewable energy development. Notable progress was made in 2025, with utility-scale solar generation in …

Waste Streams From Next Generation Molten Salt Reactors: The Challenge Of Creating An Insoluble Ceramic For Chloride Salt Waste, Alevtina A. Maksimova, Jake W. Amoroso, Matthew Page, Gregory Morrison, Hans Conrad Zur Loye

Faculty Publications

Molten salt reactors (MSRs) design development is of interest to many research groups and companies. Waste management for MSRs is one of the most important issues that needs to be resolved due to its impact on environmental safety, primarily via the dissolution of radionuclides in water. Furthermore, the waste treatment strategy will have a significant influence on the operating cost of MSRs, which is why a reliable process for the immobilization, transportation, storage and disposal of MSR waste must be addressed. This work presents a new approach for the immobilization of chloride salts from molten salt reactors in stable oxyhalide …

Standard Monomials For Positroid Varieties, Ayah Almousa, Shiliang Gao, Daoji Huang

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We give an explicit characterization of the standard monomials for positroid varieties with respect to the Hodge degeneration and give a Gröbner basis. Furthermore, we show that promotion and evacuation biject standard monomials of a positroid variety with those of its cyclic shifts and w0-reflection, respectively. The connection to promotion allows us to identify standard monomials of a positroid variety with Lam's cyclic Demazure crystal. Using a recurrence on the Hilbert series, we give an inductive formula for the character of cyclic Demazure modules.

Thermal And Electrical Properties Of (Cr,Mo,Ta,V,W)C High-Entropy Carbide Ceramics, Ali Sarikhani, Steven M. Smith, Suzana Filipovic, William G. Fahrenholtz, Gregory E. Hilmas

Materials Science and Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

The synthesis and characterization along with the resulting properties of fully dense (Cr,Mo,Ta,V,W)C high entropy carbide ceramics were studied. The ceramics were synthesized from metal oxide and carbon powders by carbothermal reduction, followed by spark plasma sintering at various temperatures for densification. Increasing the densification temperature resulted in grain growth and an increase in the lattice parameter. Thermal diffusivity increased linearly with testing temperature, resulting in thermal conductivity values ranging from ∼7 W/m•K at room temperature to ∼12 W/m•K at 200 °C. Measured heat capacity values matched theoretical estimates calculated using the Neumann-Kopp rule. Room temperature electrical resistivity decreased from …
