Draft Hybrid Assembly And Annotation Of The Drosophila Palustris And Drosophila Subpalustris Genomes, William A. Dion, Emily Washeleski, Tessa Steenwinkel, Emily Taylor, Prajakta P. Kokate, Aidan Vandrie, Thomas Werner, Paul Goetsch

Michigan Tech Publications

Species within the quinaria group of the genus Drosophila are models for ecological genetic studies on topics that include morphological diversity, color pattern development, and feeding behavior. Drosophila palustris and Drosophila subpalustris are closely related members within the quinaria species group that differ primarily in subtle morphological and behavioral traits. To support future evolutionary genomic studies in drosophilids, we completed new draft hybrid assemblies and annotations of the D. palustris and D. subpalustris genomes. We obtained a fragmented assembly for D. palustris (N50 = 874 Kb) and a near chromosome-scale D. subpalustris assembly (N50 = 27.5 Mbp). Assembly contiguity, repeat …

Can The Safety Net Support Families Through Childbirth?, Hyojeong Kim, Colleen Heflin, Taryn Morrissey

Center for Policy Research

Childbirth is a life event that often disrupts maternal employment and household earnings just as family expenses increase. In the United States, families do not have access to a national paid parental leave program and must rely on a patchwork of safety net programs that were not designed specifically to support households during pregnancy and the immediate postpartum period. This brief uses linked administrative data from the Virginia Longitudinal Data System (2016–2021) to describe changes in household earnings and social welfare benefits before and after childbirth among low-income mothers receiving the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for …

Wille Zum Wald: Nietzsche’S Discovery Of Forest Bathing, Gary Shapiro

Philosophy Faculty Publications

In the fourth part of our “The Forest as a Living Foundation” series, the distinguished American Nietzsche scholar Gary Shapiro investigates new angles on Nietzsche’s bonds to the woods: the philosopher’s personal enthusiasm for what is increasingly called “forest bathing,” the science behind how this practice benefits body, mind, and spirit, and the sheer pleasure of breathing fresh air, in woodland and wherever else we can find it. Shapiro’s essay showcases why this particular Lebensraum matters, not just for our individual well-being, but for the health of the entire planet.

Implementation Readiness For National Cancer Survivorship Care Standards, Christiane J. El Khoury, Meera Gupta, Maryem Shirzadi, Heidi Dowst, Martha Mims, Maysa Abu-Khalaf, Hoda Badr

Kimmel Cancer Center Faculty Papers

IMPORTANCE: Cancer survivorship care is a growing public health priority, yet delivery remains variable across health systems. The National Standards for Cancer Survivorship Care provide a framework for high-quality care, but little empirical evidence exists regarding health system readiness to implement these standards in routine practice.

OBJECTIVE: To assess implementation readiness for the National Standards for Cancer Survivorship Care and identify perceived barriers to implementation.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This real-time Delphi survey study was conducted from January to March 2025 at a National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. Participants were multidisciplinary experts involved in cancer survivorship care delivery, care …

Nascent Adam17 Synthesis Potentiates Gpibα Cleavage In Resting And Stimulated Stored Platelets, Shayan Askari, Harriet Ghansah, Christopher D. Mansi, Timothy J. Stalker, Lawrence E. Goldfinger

Cardeza Foundation for Hematologic Research

Platelet concentrates stored at room temperature have a shelf life of 5 to 7 days. During storage, platelets undergo glycoprotein cleavage by metalloproteases, notably cleavage of glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα) by a disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), which leads to decreased posttransfusion reactivity and recovery. To investigate the putative roles of nascent synthesis of ADAM17 in GPIbα shedding and platelet function during room temperature platelet storage. Human platelets maintained in autologous plasma were treated with naked endonuclease-resistant ADAM17 or control short inhibitory RNA (siRNA) and monitored for molecular and cellular effects during storage. Platelet-specific Adam17-deleted mice were generated, and the dynamics …

Troutman Street Llc V. Aponte

All Decisions

Court sua sponte dismissed illegal use holdover under CPLR 409(b) because predicate notice of termination failed to specify the statute or regulation on which the termination of the rent stabilized tenancy is based, as required by RSC § 2524.2(b). Every notice to vacate must state the ground under RSC § 2524.3 or 2524.4 upon which the owner relies.

All Decisions

Tenant moved to dismiss a holdover proceeding predicated on a 90-day notice of termination, arguing improper service and that landlord's Good Cause Eviction Law notice failed to adequately plead the small landlord exemption from GCEL. The court granted dismissal, holding that the GCEL notice did not provide sufficient specificity to satisfy the statutory notice requirements for the small landlord exemption.

Evaluating A Dual-Beacon Hartmann Turbulence Profiling Technique Using Wave Optics Simulations, Benjamin C. Wilson, Matthew Kalensky, Santasri Bose-Pillai, Jack E. Mccrae

Faculty Publications

Resolving how optical turbulence varies along a propagation path remains a key challenge for designers of free-space optical propagation systems. Instruments such as scintillometers and differential image motion monitors are commonly used, but only provide path-integrated turbulence estimates. Point sensors provide localized estimates of turbulence strength and can be used to generate path-resolved profiles when an array of point sensors are distributed along the optical path. However, this approach can be costly and complex to deploy in certain environments. Alternatively, a single point sensor can be mounted on a mobile platform that collects data while traversing the optical path, although …

Trust, Delegation, And Alignment In Human-Ai Decision Making, Erik O. Kimbrough, Brennan Mcdavid, Diba Vazirian

ESI Working Papers

This paper studies delegation to artificial intelligence in a setting where human principals retain the consequences of delegated choices. Participants wrote prompts instructing ChatGPT-4o mini how to choose on their behalf in three canonical economic domains: risky choice, intertemporal choice, and social allocation. We then elicited the compensation participants required to let the AI’s choices count for payment and compared participants’ own choices to choices generated from their prompts. The design produces two central empirical objects: a revealed measure of reluctance to delegate, captured by willingness to accept compensation for AI delegation, and a behavioral measure of alignment, captured by …

Uni-Body Steam Recovery Engine For Simultaneous Condensate Recovery, Water Heating And Pump-Less Hydraulic Pumping, Jun Ying Yew

Defensive Publications Series

Steam recovery in industrial processing typically requires separate units for condensate recovery, water heating and fluid pumping, each adding capital cost and mechanical complexity. This disclosure describes a uni-body steam recovery engine (“apparatus”) that integrates these three functions — condensate recovery, water heating and hydraulic pumping — within a single structural housing. Hydraulic pumping is achieved without a dedicated mechanical pump by using the pressure differential of the recovered steam to displace condensate and working liquid through the system. The structural arrangement, custom hardware components and control methods governing the cyclic operation of the apparatus are disclosed herein. A proof-of-concept …

Entity Whitelisting Translated To Query-Column-Level Suppression By Introspecting A Detection Rule's Own Entity Mappings, Alpenshield Gmbh

Defensive Publications Series

When a user whitelists an entity (an IP address, account, host, URL, or file hash) against a specific security detection rule, the platform automatically derives which query columns of that rule carry the entity, by reading the rule's own entity-mapping metadata, and materializes column-level suppression entries that the rule can evaluate at query time. In one embodiment the entries are written to a lookup watchlist in the tenant's own workspace, which detection rules join against. In a further embodiment, a shared suppression function is injected into every detection rule's query at deployment time, with per-rule column bindings derived automatically from …

Detecting Silently Blind Security Detections By Joining Rule-To-Source Dependencies Against Per-Tenant Ingestion, And Change-Impact Regression Watch For Detection Rules, Alpenshield Gmbh

Defensive Publications Series

Two related mechanisms for detection-content health in a multi-tenant security operations platform. First, a detection-blindness detector: a maintained dependency graph mapping each detection rule to the log tables its query reads is joined against per-tenant per-table ingestion volume and baselines, yielding a finding when a rule's required input table has stopped ingesting for a tenant, so the rule is silently blind even though it reports no failure. Second, a change-impact regression watch: a time-boxed watch, opened at a detection-rule change by the change pipeline or by an operator, compares post-change alert volume against the pre-change baseline and issues a verdict …

Cross-Channel Authorization Of Security Mitigations: Voice Escalation Bound To An Authenticated Out-Of-Band Approval Surface, Alpenshield Gmbh

Defensive Publications Series

A security operations platform escalates a high-severity incident by placing an automated voice call to a customer contact, during which the contact may authorize a containment action that is approved not on the phone but on an authenticated out-of-band client (a messaging client the contact is already signed into on their own device). The authorization is bound to the call by a correlation token: a per-call code is generated, spoken by the automated agent and displayed on the approval surface, and the approving identity on the out-of-band client must match the contact resolved from the dialed number. The paused containment …

Schema-Validated Field-Level Data Retention Policy Coupled To A Live Database Schema, Driving Automated Per-Field Erasure, Alpenshield Gmbh

Defensive Publications Series

A data platform carries machine-readable retention policy at the granularity of individual tables and columns: for each column, what is stored, why, for how long, and the terminal action (delete the row, null the field, or overwrite the field with a placeholder where the platform marks the column required and a null write would be rejected), while preserving the audit trail. The policy is embedded in version-controlled schema documentation and validated on every build against a periodically captured snapshot of the live database schema, so a policy referencing a column that does not exist, or nulling a column the platform …

Customer-Tenant-Custody Of Third-Party Credentials For Cross-Tenant Security Automation, With Fail-Closed Capability Signaling, Alpenshield Gmbh

Defensive Publications Series

In a multi-tenant managed security service that executes response actions through third-party tools on behalf of customer tenants, the credential for each third-party tool is never held by the service provider. It resides only in the customer tenant's own secret store. At action time, the provider, using a service identity the customer has explicitly consented to, resolves the customer from a management record, authenticates cross-tenant into the customer's secret store, retrieves the credential, exchanges it with the third-party tool, and never persists it provider-side. Capability is signaled fail-closed: a missing or unresolvable configuration returns a distinct "not configured" status that …

Telemetry-Coverage Probes That Structurally Gate Autonomous Disposition Of Security Incidents, Alpenshield Gmbh

Defensive Publications Series

An autonomous security incident analysis pipeline runs deterministic probes that establish, per customer tenant, which telemetry sources are actually available before and during each analysis, and constrains the pipeline's permissible conclusions using the probe results. Probes include a configuration-presence gate for third-party endpoint tooling, a single-row endpoint-inventory query whose three outcomes disambiguate telemetry-available, licensed-without-devices, and not-licensed, a rolling census of log tables that actually ingested data, and explicit consent-gap detection for API scopes. For incident classes whose disposition depends on endpoint evidence, an unavailable-telemetry result caps the analysis confidence and converts an autonomous benign closure into an escalation. A minimum-coverage …
