Tenants in a rent overcharge class action moved to amend their complaint to add a claim that legal regulated rents and resulting overcharges should be calculated using the default formula under RSC § 2522.6(b)(3). The Appellate Division reversed Supreme Court's denial of the amendment, finding the proposed claim not palpably insufficient, and citing a DHCR determination in a similar case as support. The court also clarified that appellate courts are not bound by the law of the case doctrine as applied at the trial court level.

Analysis Of The Atypical Temperature Dependence And Conformational Changes During Turnover Of A Lactobacillus Chlorogenic Acid Esterase, Nathaniel Carl, Yianni Tsigaris, Dan Ji, Nora K. Anpree, Kellie K. Omori, Cedric P. Owens

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Many bacterial chlorogenic acid esterases (ChlEs) exhibit atypical temperature behavior, featuring activities that barely change with temperature and activity maxima that fall below the thermal denaturation point. This work focuses on a ChlE from Lactobacillus helveticus (Lh–ChlE), which has a flat temperature dependence. First, it was determined that conformational changes during Lh–ChlE turnover are not rate-limiting and that the overall rate depends on the chemical step at all temperatures. Next, Lh–ChlE’s temperature dependence was investigated using a conformational equilibrium model that assumes the existence of a temperature-dependent equilibrium between an active and an inactive conformation and an activation heat capacity …

Accessible Media Literacy Education: A Universal Design For Learning Framework For Including Disabled And Deaf Learners, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Media literacy education has built a robust evidence base for interventions that strengthen resilience to misinformation, yet its pedagogies presuppose a nondisabled learner: participants with disabilities are rarely reported, materials are rarely accessible by design, and disability is absent from the field's equity turn. Disabled and deaf learners consequently face a double exclusion, from the media environment by inaccessibility and from media education by protectionist safeguarding. This conceptual article develops the Accessible Media Literacy Education (AMLE) framework through a four-step synthesis of three literatures: media literacy education, research on disabled and deaf people's media practices, and Universal Design for Learning. …

From Exposure To Action: Ai-Generated Media, Student Trust, Content Reliance, And Responsible Digital Engagement In Higher Education, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed how students encounter, evaluate, and use digital information. However, research has largely examined AI adoption and acceptance rather than how AI-generated media shapes trust, reliance, decision-making, and responsible digital engagement. This study examines AI-generated media engagement as a media and information literacy issue through an extended Uses and Gratifications Theory perspective, recognizing AI interaction as a hybrid process shaped by student motivations and algorithmically influenced exposure. Using responses from 220 undergraduate Business students in Cebu, Philippines, this quantitative study employed correlation and regression analyses to examine relationships among AI-driven media exposure, student engagement, trust …

How To Upend America In 100 Days: Unilateral Power At The Outset Of Trump’S Second Term, Aaron Childree

Political Science Faculty Publications

President Trump used the unilateral power of the presidency in extraordinary ways during the first 100 days of his second term. This article examines his use of executive action using a dataset of every action issued in the first 100 days of Trump’s second term, along with a similar dataset for his first term and other recent administrations. At the outset of his second term, Trump issued substantially more executive actions than his own first administration and his recent predecessors; however, this also came with historically low legislative productivity. His unilateral policy making is notable for the many revocations of …

Technical Disclosure Specification: Topological Helical Embedding Constraints For Volumetric Space-Time Emergence Across Twisted Manifolds, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification formalizes a non-perturbative geometric mechanism governing the topological transformation of a two-dimensional information substrate into three-dimensional volumetric space-time metrics. Standard holographic frameworks recognize that boundary data can mathematically define a bulk volume, yet they fail to establish a dynamic physical mechanism for the emergence of mass-energy tensors and gravitational curvature without introducing free parameters or unverified dimensional compactifications.

This paper demonstrates that three-dimensional physical matter and spatial depth emerge natively when a parameter-agnostic 2D viscoelastic fluid membrane experiences localized spatial overlapping (The Fold) and asymmetric rotational torque (The Twist). By driving boundary wave configurations through an asymmetric rotational …

Proactive Context Generation Via Asynchronous Knowledge Graph Synchronization, Parnika Singhal, Dhruv Singhal

Defensive Publications Series

Systems for providing context to users can experience latency and data fragmentation, which may arise when systems operate reactively by executing synchronous queries across siloed data sources after a user interaction. An asynchronous process can periodically synchronize data from various sources, such as email and calendars, to build and maintain a localized vector knowledge graph that can model entities and their relationships. A proactive compute engine may use system events, for example, the arrival of a new message, as triggers to query the graph, pre-compute a relevant context payload, and cache the result. This approach may reduce latency associated with …
