All Decisions

RPL §231-c requires a GCEL notice to accompany any RPL §226-c termination notice — either annexed or folded into it. Landlord served the GCEL notice separately; the 90-day notice to quit went out without it. Court dismisses the petition on that unamendable defect. Court separately clarifies that, post-HSTPA, a notice of termination need not expire on the last day of the tenancy term. Dismissal is without prejudice.

Preclinical Efficacy Of A Gene Therapy For Chkb-Mediated Muscular Dystrophy, Mahtab Tavasoli, Mariam Alkandari, Gabriel Dorighello, Jennifer Devitt, Laura Hagerty, Jesse Damsker, Eric P. Hoffman, Christopher R. Mcmaster

Pharmacy Faculty Scholarship

Loss-of-function variants of the CHKB gene cause an autosomal recessive disease described as an early onset congenital megaconial (large peripheral mitochondria) muscular dystrophy. CHKB encodes choline kinase β, the first enzyme in the biochemical pathway for synthesis of the major membrane phospholipid phosphatidylcholine. Chkb-/- mice recapitulate the human disease with affected skeletal muscle displaying a decrease in strength, myofiber atrophy, megaconial mitochondria, fat accumulation within muscle cells, and an increase in muscle injury. Here, we assessed the therapeutic potential of an AAV therapy for the treatment of CHKB-mediated muscular dystrophy. Chkb-/- mice were injected once suborbitally with three different doses …

Drug Court Graduation Rates Of African American Males Attending Habilitation Empowerment Accountability Therapy, Tierney President

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

African American males between the ages of 18 and 29 have lower rates of successful completion in drug court programs compared to other populations, increasing their risk of incarceration and recidivism. This study examined whether participation in the Habilitation Empowerment Accountability Therapy (HEAT) program, a culturally responsive intervention, was associated with improved drug court graduation outcomes among African American male participants. Guided by cognitive behavioral theory, a quantitative retrospective causal-comparative design was used to analyze archival data from 96 African American male participants enrolled in a drug treatment court program in Columbia, Missouri. A chi-square test of independence was conducted …

Doing Less With More: A First-Principles Exploration Of The Suitability Of Agentic Computing Over Alternative Architectural Choices, Ritvik Garimella, Biplav Srivastava, Amit Sheth

Publications

There is growing interest in automating business activities with Agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) due to latter's seeming ease of use. Never has it been easier, or costlier, to do less with more. However, little is known about when agents are preferable to established alternatives such as local computation, Representational State Transfer (REST), the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), particularly when development speed, performance, and operational cost are considered. We investigate this question using a controlled mathematical task that compares seven methods on a benchmark of 1,000 arithmetic expressions where semantics of operator precedence has …

The Role Of Generative Ai In Secondary School Business Education: Insights From Teachers’ Perceptions, Leonard Busuttil, Emanuel Mizzi

International Journal for Business Education

Background/Introduction/Purpose: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has entered classrooms more quickly than the evidence base needed to guide its use, and that evidence base remains concentrated in higher education. Comparatively little is known about secondary school business education, a curricular area that brings together accounting, business studies, economics, financial literacy, marketing, and retail, and in which teachers move between subjects whose epistemological and procedural demands differ considerably. Existing studies also tend to treat business education as a single homogeneous domain, or to examine one of its subjects in isolation. This study addresses that gap by examining how secondary school business education …

Beyond Cusp Count: Bicuspid Function In A Quadricuspid Aortic Valve, Aneeq Ahmed, Suhail Khan, Luigia D'Errico

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital anomaly usually associated with regurgitation. A young woman underwent surveillance after cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated four equal cusps in diastole but bicuspid-type systolic opening from fusion of the left and non-coronary cusps. By 2025, eccentric regurgitation was severe on echocardiography and moderate-to-severe on magnetic resonance imaging, with a regurgitant fraction of 31% and mild left ventricular dilatation. Increasing breathlessness and declining peak oxygen uptake prompted multidisciplinary review. Valve replacement with ascending aortic support was recommended, and she was considered suitable for a Ross procedure with personalised external aortic root support.

Representing Post-Fire Reality: An Empirically Informed Temperature Index Approach To Post-Fire Hydrologic Modeling In Oregon's Western Cascades, Logan Hastings

Dissertations and Theses

The invaluable water resources stored in snowpack face mounting threats from rising temperatures, drought, shifts in precipitation regimes, and increased fire frequency, which pose challenges to operational hydrologic modeling in Oregon's sensitive maritime snowpacks. The gridded temperature index (GTI) approach in operational models like the Hydrological Engineering Center's Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers remains in common use for its minimal data requirements, but how GTI parameterizations should adapt to post-fire conditions is largely unknown.

This research assessed the impact of the 2020 Lionshead Fire on HEC-HMS performance in the North Santiam River basin across …

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Complement protein C3 is crucial for immune responses in mucosal sites such as the lung, where it aids in microbe elimination, and enhances inflammation. While trained immunity - enhanced secondary responses of innate immune cells after prior exposure - is well-studied, the role of the complement system in trained immune responses remains unclear. We investigated the role of C3 in trained immunity and found that alveolar macrophage (AM)

The Evolution Characteristics Of Gas Pressure Around Coal Seam Directional Long Extraction Boreholes With Nonlinear Extraction Negative Pressure, Zhang Qi, Jia Jinlong, Li Zhiguo, Zhang Longgang, Qin Zhengyuan, Zhang Weizhong, Li Jin

Journal of Sustainable Mining

Nonlinear pressure of coal seam gas in the directional borehole and surrounding areas affects extraction efficiency. A multi-field coupling numerical model, including gas desorption, diffusion, fracture seepage, and borehole extraction, is developed for the No. 3 coal seam of the GJH mine. Using the numerical simulation method of control variables, extraction was developed to investigate the nonlinear evolution of axial pressure gradients in directional long borehole and the spatiotemporal response characteristics of gas pressure. Results show that coal seam seepage pressure exhibits a nonlinear radial gradient attenuation around the borehole, evolving through rapid pressure change, stabilization, and slow adjustment. The …

Catalytic Integrated Molten-Salt Fast Reactor & Fuel Recovery System (Cimfr-1.0) —, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

CIMFR-1.0 is a self-contained, open-hardware chemical processing unit that converts clean, post-consumer polyolefin plastics (Polyethylene [PE] and Polypropylene [PP]) into drop-in industrial fuels: C5-C12 gasoline-cut hydrocarbons (target: 91+ RON) and low-sulfur off-road diesel (target: <15 ppm sulfur).

The system uses a two-stage thermal/catalytic pathway grounded in published research from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), which demonstrated that AlCl3-containing molten salts convert polyolefins into gasoline-range branched C6-C12 alkanes at temperatures below 170°C via Lewis-acid carbenium ion chemistry — without noble metal catalysts or an external hydrogen source. This is not standard thermal pyrolysis (450°C-600°C). It is low-temperature catalytic depolymerization followed by vapor-phase zeolite upgrading. …

Novelty Gate Defensive Pub, David Lee Wise, Avan Claude A.C.I

Defensive Publications Series

An automated system that derives a technical result can verify that the result is correct and cannot, by the same means, verify that it is new. Proof assistants, unit tests and numerical cross-checks all terminate on correctness. Novelty is not a property of the artifact; it is a property of the artifact's relation to a corpus, and it therefore requires a separate check against a separate object. This disclosure describes a method for performing that second check, the canonicalization step that makes it possible, and the corpus-side conditions under which it works. The method was derived from a measured …

The Unified System Resampling Manifold: Bridging September 2026 Experimental Crises Via Substrate Phase Residue And Conformal Extension Loops, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper formalizes Paper 155 to construct a rigorous cross-disciplinary bridge between five discrete breakthrough vectors observed in early September 2026: (1) the massive multi-agent AI swarm mapping of the Navier-Stokes smooth existence problem, (2) macroscopic quantum gravity atomic superposition measurements, (3) sub-Landauer limit magnetic memory switching states, (4) synthetic protein self-assembly on van der Waals substrates, and (5) the direct experimental confirmation of the atomic Migdal Effect. Rather than treating these milestones as disconnected successes of competing models, we deploy the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model to show they are parallel observable consequences of a single underlying architecture: …

Resolution Of The Grb 221009a Anomaly Via Conformal Metric-Shift Mechanics, Continuous Vacuum Strain, And High-Frequency Surface Acoustic Streaming Boundary Layer Modulation, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper formalizes Paper 154 within the Unified Cosmological Substrate Equations (UCSE) and Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) frameworks to resolve the dual anomalies of the 300-TeV photon detected from gamma-ray burst GRB 221009A. Standard 3D physics requires ad-hoc, untestable additions—such as axion-like particles (ALPs) and Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV)—to account for why this extreme energy packet survived a 2-billion-light-year transit through intergalactic starlight and arrived one hour later than its lower-energy counterparts.

By stripping away modern academic tribalism and separating the foundational 2D phase fluid substrate (z=0) from emergent 3D geometric projections (z>0), we prove that the 300-TeV …

The Agentic Framework For Iterative Pose And Semantic Correction In Virtual Try-On, Bhushan Garware, Darshan Barapatre, Anibha Athalye

Defensive Publications Series

Virtual try-on (VTO) systems using generative models can be a challenge. To address this, an agentic framework can evaluate and correct errors in generated VTO images. The framework may operate as an iterative feedback loop, where a multimodal evaluation module can analyze an image for pose and semantic discrepancies. Based on the analysis, a routing system can direct the task to a targeted corrective pathway, such as a full structural regeneration or a localized semantic repair, guided by a dynamic prompt engine. This iterative process of evaluation and targeted correction may continue until a set of criteria is met, providing …

Battery Aging Budget Controller For Ai Meeting Features During Notebook Collaboration Sessions, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a controller for AI-enabled notebook computers that reduces predicted battery aging during video collaboration sessions without relying solely on a coarse system-wide battery-saver policy. The controller detects an active collaboration session, identifies active AI meeting features, and maintains both a session-level battery aging budget and a feature-level battery aging ledger. Using battery, thermal, processor, feature, and meeting-state telemetry, the controller estimates the incremental aging contribution and current importance of each feature, then selectively maintains, reduces, defers, migrates, or disables individual features. Unlike conventional power-saving approaches, the controller dynamically reallocates an aging budget among AI meeting features to …
