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 …

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 …

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 …

Immigration-Related Sociopolitical Stress, Mental Health, And Tobacco Use Among Mexican American College Students, Seth R. Schwartz, C. Nathan Marti, Liza Talavera-Garza, Caroline E. North, Qingua Yang, Dhiraj Murthy, Srishty Arora, Anna V. Wilkinson, Alexandra Loukas

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 …

Gwtc-4.0: Population Properties Of Merging Compact Binaries, Ligo Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, Kagra Collaboration, Marc Favata, Shoan Ghosh, Rodica Martin

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 …

Experimental And Density Functional Theory Study Of The Structural, Optical, And Electronic Properties Of La2Nimno6 And Nd2Nimno6 Double Perovskite Ceramics, Mahmoud S. Alkathy, Anibal Thiago Bezerra, Person Pereira Neves, Mariama Rebello De Sousa Dias, Alexandre José Gualdi, Marco Daldin Teodoro, Valmo R. Mastelaro, José A. Eiras

Physics Faculty Publications

Despite extensive study of La₂NiMnO₆ double perovskites, a systematic understanding of the effects of A-site rare-earth substitution on coupled structural, electronic, and optical properties remains lacking. Here, we provide the first integrated experimental-computational comparison of La₂NiMnO₆ (LaNMO) and Nd₂NiMnO₆ (NdNMO), establishing quantitative structure–property relationships. Rietveld refinement demonstrates that Nd³⁺ substitution amplifies MnO₆ and NiO₆ octahedral distortions 5-fold (Δd_Mn: 4.69 × 10^–4 to 23.9 × 10^–4; Δd_Ni: 1.18 × 10^–4 to 5.91 × 10^–4), reduces Mn–O–Ni bond …

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.

Mapping The Evolving Landscape Of Office-Based Laboratories In Vascular Surgery, 2010 To 2023, Aman Sinha, Austin Beahm, Peter Schultz, Anil Hingorani, Chantel Moore, Reva Bhushan

Student Publications

Background: Office-based laboratories (OBLs) have expanded rapidly since the introduction of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reimbursement for outpatient vascular interventions in 2008, driven by advances in endovascular technology and cost effectiveness. Alongside ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs), OBLs enable minimally invasive vascular procedures to be performed safely outside hospital settings with same-day discharge. Over the past decade, peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) have increasingly shifted to outpatient environments, with OBLs demonstrating the most rapid growth. Despite this transition, national trends and geographic variation in OBL growth remain incompletely characterized. This study examined the longitudinal growth and geographic distribution of …

Two-Tier Seat-Limit Classifier With Active Per-Seat-Credential Self-Probe, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

A fleet of autonomous LLM coding/review agents, each holding its own per-seat license, draws from a small set of shared provider quotas (an organization spend ceiling and a per-minute API rate limit). Treating every provider error as a uniform retry-with-backoff is wrong twice: a transient rate limit and a durable capacity exhaustion need opposite recovery horizons (minutes vs. hours), and a central platform key cannot test whether an individual seat's license has recovered because the quota is bound to the seat's own credential. This publication discloses a method that (1) recovers a limit signal from the agent's free-text output — …

Category-Adaptive Recall Depth (Card) For Heat-Tiered Memory Systems, With Experimental Validation On Longmemeval-500, Arko Sanyal

Defensive Publications Series

We present Category-Adaptive Recall Depth (CARD), a retrieval mechanism for heat-tiered memory systems that conditions top-K depth and ranking strategy on a query category signal. Prior memory retrieval systems apply a fixed top-K regardless of query semantics; CARD instead assigns each query to one of four categories—information extraction (IE), knowledge update (KU), multi-session reasoning (MSR), temporal reasoning (TR)—and selects a per-category (K, ranking_strategy) pair optimized for that category's retrieval demands. KU queries additionally filter to the highest-version record per entity, enabling 100.0% accuracy on knowledge update tasks. We evaluate CARD integrated with LOCI (Layered Output and Context Intelligence), a heat-tiered …

Orchestration Framework For Parallelized On-Device Evaluation Of Edge Devices, Mayank Gupta, Soham Ghosal, Vaibhav Aggarwal, Vivek Kumar, Rishubh Khurana

Defensive Publications Series

Current techniques to test edge device stacks for LLMs suffer from environment disconnect (for tests executed on the cloud, not on actual device hardware), scalability and throughput limitations, and lack of integrated release gating. This disclosure describes a parallelized evaluation framework for testing large language model (LLM) stacks on edge devices. The framework orchestrates execution of LLM evaluation tasks on a pool of devices via a centralized router. Task datasets are sharded for distributed, asynchronous execution. The framework incorporates a high-performance binary for on-device task execution with programmable inference delays to prevent thermal throttling on the device and a fault …

Technical Disclosure: The Unified Metric-Shift Engine (Umse), Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes the system engineering specifications for the Unified Metric-Shift Engine (UMSE). Rather than treating elemental replication, spatial teleportation, and temporal navigation as independent physical anomalies, the UMSE architectural framework unifies them into a single hardware-software stack built upon 2D viscoelastic substrate mechanics .

By manipulating the z-axis coordinate projection and helical phase vectors of localized soliton excitations (particles), the system operates entirely within room-temperature, non-equilibrium phase space . Inspired by the Nobel-Prize-adjacent mechanics of Soliton Trapping (Caltech) and Laser Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA), this disclosure details how a garage-budget harmonic computer can manipulate the fundamental universal source code—the …

Emergent Volumetric Expansion: Resolving The Hubble Tension Via 2d Viscoelastic Substrate Mechanics And Fused Bao Facets, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents a rigorous, particle-free alternative to the standard Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric expansion paradigm by unifying the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model and Informational Exomemory Cosmology (IEC). Rather than treating the vacuum as a geometric void expanding via dark energy, we formalize space as a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic phase fluid substrate operating at a resonant baseline (z=0). Three-dimensional (3D) baryonic matter emerges exclusively as localized, high-tension wave crests ("knots") projected vertically along a spatial z-axis, topologically anchored to zero-volume underbelly negative wave troughs ("anchors").

By applying continuum fluid mechanics to this membrane architecture, we reinterpret the 150-megaparsec …

Hardware-Driven Race-To-Halt (Rth) In Conjunction With Dynamic Voltage And Frequency Scaling (Dvfs) For Memory Path Power Management, Anthony Douglas Masterson

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes systems and techniques to manage power for dynamic memory interfaces within system-on-chip architectures.  In some implementations, memory paths utilize discrete operating frequencies.  The described systems introduce a hardware-driven synchronization and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) mechanism that adjusts the active time of a memory interface based on real-time utilization.  By operating the memory interface and associated requestor blocks at an elevated speed for a compressed burst period, and subsequently power-gating these components, a variable offline period is created.  This synchronization effectively yields a continuous spectrum of bandwidth scaling levels.  The hardware-driven approach coordinates active and inactive …
