Autonomic Dysregulation Attributed To Vertebral Artery Insufficiency Secondary To Subclavian Steal Syndrome: A Case Report, Lara Zargarian, Hoang Nguyen, Manbir Sanghera, Arman Megerdechyan, William S. Hughes Jul 2026

Autonomic Dysregulation Attributed To Vertebral Artery Insufficiency Secondary To Subclavian Steal Syndrome: A Case Report, Lara Zargarian, Hoang Nguyen, Manbir Sanghera, Arman Megerdechyan, William S. Hughes

Student Publications

Anatomic malformation as seen in subclavian steal syndrome leads to an alteration in the body's autonomic regulatory pattern, influencing varying physical manifestations. The autonomic nervous system provides situational regulatory feedback to the body, maintaining the body’s desired point of homeostasis. We report the case of a 68-year-old male who initially came in with X-rays indicating retrolisthesis and calcifications in his carotids. A left-sided carotid bruit was also noted, as well as right-sided upper extremity weakness. Continued imaging studies indicated structural changes to his cervical regions and continued calcifications in the remainder of his arterial supply branching off of his carotid …

Role-Preset Pluggable Dreaming Pipeline With Reflection-Over-Prior-Dreams Operators, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Role-Preset Pluggable Dreaming Pipeline With Reflection-Over-Prior-Dreams Operators, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

Autonomous LLM personas accumulate a continuous stream of heterogeneous day events. A naive "summarize-the-day" digester compresses that stream once, weights every event identically across personas, applies one forgetting curve, and never reasons across the sequence of its own prior digests. This publication describes a role-preset pluggable dreaming pipeline: a per-persona memory-consolidation process decomposed into four named, swappable stages — scoring, clustering, synthesis, and reflection — where (a) the concrete algorithm for each stage is selected by a role preset, (b) each scoring algorithm carries its own role-specific recency half-life, and (c) a distinct reflection stage runs operators over the persona's …


Dual-Channel Domain Data-Isolation, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Dual-Channel Domain Data-Isolation, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

In a multi-domain application monolith, data is partitioned one database schema per business domain. Strong isolation is normally pushed into the database (GRANT/REVOKE, per-schema connection roles, row-level security). When all domains share one connection pool, an application-layer contract is needed that (a) denies accidental or malicious cross-schema access on the general read/write path, while (b) still permitting deliberate, controlled cross-domain reads. This publication discloses a dual-channel contract: a deny-direct channel that statically analyzes every facade-emitted SQL string and hard-denies foreign-schema references, and an allow-through-a-constrained-compiler channel that re-admits cross-domain reads only via a read-only, mutation-free pipe-query language whose compiler resolves relation …

Technical Disclosure: Integrated Space Readiness Training Center (Isrtc), Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

Current ground-based deep-space environmental analogs suffer from an institutional vulnerability designated as "Escape Room Bias." When human subjects operate under an implicit institutional guarantee of safety, their cognitive, behavioral, and adaptive responses default to gamified problem-solving rather than genuine expeditionary survival. This psychological insulation limits the validity of collected behavioral datasets to less than 20% of actual deep-space operational reality, leaving aerospace organizations blind to the most critical human failure mode in high-consequence environments: the psychological freeze response under unyielding peril.

The Integrated Space Readiness Training Complex (ISRTC) eliminates this predictive gap by establishing an enduring Dynamic Test Assembly operating …


Automated Multi-Stage Semantic Analysis And Synthesis Of Heterogeneous Unstructured Operational Repositories, Michael Vianana, Tanmay Kayande, Nigel Nageer, Nupur Murlidharan Jul 2026

Automated Multi-Stage Semantic Analysis And Synthesis Of Heterogeneous Unstructured Operational Repositories, Michael Vianana, Tanmay Kayande, Nigel Nageer, Nupur Murlidharan

Defensive Publications Series

Modern organizations often struggle to identify systemic structural issues because post-mortem reviews, lessons-learned records, and risk logs are isolated in unstructured narrative text files across disparate storage repositories. A system is described that utilizes a multi-stage language model processing pipeline to autonomously aggregate, structure, and cross-reference completely unstructured, multi-source operational narrative text documents to expose global systemic risks and organizational blind spots. The system continuously connects to raw text silos, extracts semantic entities, and standardizes unstructured content into a globally normalized taxonomy to map risk correlations. Keywords: unstructured data, semantic analysis, natural language processing, language models, risk management, data clustering, …


Eight-Lock Autonomous Dispatch Envelope (Self-Tripping Autonomy Breaker), Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Eight-Lock Autonomous Dispatch Envelope (Self-Tripping Autonomy Breaker), Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

Dispatching an autonomous coding subagent against a ticket — letting a large-language-model agent edit a repository, commit, and open a pull request with no human reviewing each action — requires governance that degrades safely rather than failing in either of the two unsafe directions: refusing outright (which stalls delivery) or running unbounded (which burns spend and ships defects). This publication discloses a chained, fail-closed precondition envelope of eight ordered locks evaluated before any run is permitted to touch the repository, together with a post-run settlement step. Three of the locks carry the inventive weight of the composition: (i) a per-principal …

Efficient And Accurate Evaluation Of The Gauss Hypergeometric Function, Caleb Jacobs, Cecile M. Piret, Bengt Fornberg Jul 2026

Efficient And Accurate Evaluation Of The Gauss Hypergeometric Function, Caleb Jacobs, Cecile M. Piret, Bengt Fornberg

Michigan Tech Publications

The Gauss hypergeometric function unifies many special functions encountered in physics, engineering, as well as many other applied sciences. With its prominence across disciplines, numerous methods have been developed to compute it for any value of its argument and its three additional parameters. However, these methods of computation are either slower than desired or don’t offer the accuracy needed in many applications. Taking advantage of a conformal mapping in conjunction with the numerous connection or transformation formulas, we have developed a fast and accurate method for evaluation in double precision arithmetic.

Data For Post-Retail Application Of Chitosan Coating And Uv-C Irradiation: Effects On Strawberry Shelf Life, Microbial Quality, And Consumer Acceptance, Jonathan Kershaw Jul 2026

Data For Post-Retail Application Of Chitosan Coating And Uv-C Irradiation: Effects On Strawberry Shelf Life, Microbial Quality, And Consumer Acceptance, Jonathan Kershaw

ScholarsArchive Data

Food waste is a global issue with significant environmental, economic, and human health impacts. The largest share of household and retail food waste comes from fresh produce, much of which is still edible at the time of disposal. While previous work has investigated shelf-life extension technologies applied on freshly harvested produce, almost no studies have investigated the efficacy of these treatments when applied to post-retail produce. This study investigated the effect of UV-C exposure and chitosan coating on the quality, microbial load, and visual acceptance of post-retail strawberries. Strawberries were assigned to low dose UV-C, chitosan dip, or one of …

Progesterone And Cerclage Together For Short Cervix: Evaluating Potential Complementary Effects For Improved Preterm Birth Prevention, Vincenzo Berghella, Ilaria Paladino, Moti Gulersen, Lauren Sayres, Amanda Roman, Rupsa C. Boelig

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty Papers

Management of patients with a short cervical length (CL) on transvaginal ultrasound (TVU) often involves therapy with vaginal progesterone and/or cervical cerclage. Although these interventions are frequently viewed as alternative strategies, they may also represent complementary approaches targeting different mechanisms involved in spontaneous preterm birth. As in other areas of medicine, therapies with different mechanisms are often used together rather than as mutually exclusive options. In line with current level 1 evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses of RCTs on either vaginal progesterone or cerclage, in singleton gestations with no prior spontaneous preterm birth (SPTB), vaginal progesterone is …

Psychological Science Faculty Publications

Sociopolitical stress associated with the policies and rhetoric coming from recent U.S. presidential administrations is of particular concern vis-à-vis Hispanic individuals, who have been disproportionately targeted for detention and deportation. Such stress may be associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety, and ultimately with tobacco use. However, there is a paucity of research examining how sociopolitical stress is associated with mental health problems and substance use among Hispanic emerging adults. Accordingly, the present study was designed to examine the extent to which, within a sample of Mexican American college students, sociopolitical stress would be linked with tobacco use indirectly through …

Department of Physics and Astronomy Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

We detail the population properties of binary neutron star, neutron star-black hole binary, and binary black hole mergers using 158 events from the cumulative Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog 4.0. The black hole primary mass distribution consists of a power-law-like continuum that steepens above 35 M-circle dot with overdensities at 10 M-circle dot and 35 M-circle dot. Binary black holes with primary masses near 10 M-circle dot are more likely to have less massive secondaries, with a mass ratio distribution peaking at q = 0.71(-0.11)(+0.12), potentially a signature of stable mass transfer during binary evolution. Black hole spins are inferred to be …

Specific Carbohydrate Diet Versus Mediterranean Diet In Adult Patients With Mild To Moderate Ulcerative Colitis: A Randomized Controlled-Feeding Trial, Albert Sheng-Yin Chen, Long Nguyen, Brianna Gray, Katherine Williams, Jenny Gurung, Lauren Canha, Jessica Mcgoldrick, Jane Hubbard, Hamed Khalili

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

Background and aims: This pilot randomized controlled-feeding trial compared the effect of Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and Mediterranean diet (MeD) in mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC).

Methods: Seventeen adults were randomized to a 6-week SCD (n = 8) or MeD (n = 9) intervention. Primary outcome was change in partial Mayo Clinic score (pMCS).

Results: The study was discontinued early due to significant dropout (n = 9, 52.9%). There was no significant between-group differences observed for pMCS change (SCD, -0.8; MeD, -1.3; p = 0.499) or secondary outcomes. Exploratory metagenomic analysis revealed enrichment of Parasutterella excrementihominis …

Sensing Freedom: Service User Perspectives Of Sensory Processing And Occupational Participation In A Forensic Mental Health Inpatient Setting – A Qualitative Study, Elana Moore, Rosi Raine, Alison Warren, Karen Beaulieu

School of Health Professions

Sensory processing shapes how people respond to environmental stimuli, influencing their ability to regulate themselves, make choices and participate in activities. Evidence indicates that people with mental health problems often experience sensory-processing difficulties that reduce rehabilitation participation. Secure forensic mental health settings are designed to manage behaviours that challenge; however, research indicates the physical environment not only limits opportunities for meaningful participation in rehabilitation activities but may also influence sensory experiences. Despite the interplay between the secure environment, sensory processing and participation, these concepts are seldom discussed in the literature. This qualitative study aimed to explore service users’ experience of …

Rotating nonaxisymmetric neutron stars (NSs) are promising sources for continuous gravitational waves (CWs). CWs may, if detected, inform us about the internal structure and equation of state of NSs. Here, we present a narrowband search for CWs from known pulsars, for which a matched-filter search can be applied. Narrowband searches are robust to mismatches between electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational emissions, in contrast to fully targeted searches where they are assumed to be phase-locked. In this work, we search for the CW counterparts emitted by 34 pulsars using data from the first and second parts of the fourth LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA observing run. …
