Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

Few studies have identified how facets of impulsivity relate to recovery in opioid use disorder (OUD). Treatment-enrolled individuals with OUD (n = 167) and healthy controls (CTL; n = 46) completed the Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation Seeking, Positive Urgency (UPPS-P) Impulsive Behavior Scale along with demographic and clinical measures at visit 1. Over the next three months, abstinence and return to use were documented for participants with OUD (via self-report, alcohol breathalyzer, urine drug screen, and secondary contact communication). Participants with OUD who returned to use (n = 59) did not complete further study visits, whereas those who remained abstinent …

Semiconductor Supply Chain Risk Monitoring And Forecasting: A Hybrid Big Data Architecture And Empirical Validation, Ming Gong, Sangwhan Cha

Harrisburg University Other Works

Global semiconductor manufacturing networks are characterized by deep geographical concentration, high capital intensity, and acute vulnerability to regional supply disruptions. While public merchandise trade statistics provide transparent, reproducible empirical records, transforming these raw macroeconomic streams into actionable supply chain risk intelligence requires both rigorous analytical framing and scalable computational architecture. In this paper, we propose an enterprise-grade cloud data architecture designed for semiconductor risk monitoring, combining scheduled distributed batch processing on Google Cloud (Dataproc/PySpark, BigQuery) with an event-driven streaming ingestion lane (Pub/Sub, Dataflow/Apache Beam). To rigorously evaluate the underlying scoring and forecasting logic without premature distributed deployment costs, we implement …

Climate Transition Stress Testing For Corporate Credit Risk: A Replicable Data-Mining Pipeline Using Esg Risk Scores, Huynh Long Hung Nguyen, Alan @ Ali Madjelisi Megargel, Rajesh Krishna Balan, Paul Robert Griffin

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We present a replicable data-mining pipeline for illustrative, scenario-conditioned corporate distress analysis under feature decoupling. The pipeline links Compustat financial statements with Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating records for 2,144 U.S. non-financial public firms, constructs a standardized Transition Risk Index (TRI), estimates a contemporaneous accounting-distress classifier, and applies transparent transition-cost sensitivities. Distress is defined as annual operating income insufficient to cover annual interest expense; interest coverage itself is excluded from the predictors. The resulting model is not a forward default forecast or a regulatory probability-of-default model. On a held-out cross-sectional test set, the logistic specification obtains AUC 0.909, PR-AUC 0.822, and …

Tiny Large Language Models For Iot Networks: Potentials And Challenges, Muhammed Golec, Suhib Bani Melhem, Yaser Khamayseh, Abdulmalik Alwarafy, Naofal Al-Dhahir

This survey paper systematically examines Tiny LLMs for IoT networks and classifies existing approaches in five basic dimensions: model architectures, optimization strategies, transfer learning methods, deployment paradigms, and explainability-security integration. By applying the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method, 139 related studies published between 2020 and 2025 …

Pattern Formation In Quantum Hierarchical Cellular Neural Networks, Wilson A. Zuniga-Galindo, B. A. Zambrano-Luna, Chayapuntika Indoung

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

We present a new class of quantum neural networks (QNNs) whose states are solutions of p -adic Schrödinger equations with a non-local potential that controls the interaction between the neurons. These equations are obtained as Wick rotations of the state equations of p -adic cellular neural networks (CNNs). The p -adic CNNs arise as continuous limits of large discrete hierarchical neural networks (NNs). The CNNs are bio-inspired by the Wilson–Cowan model, which describes the macroscopic dynamics of large populations of neurons. We provide a detailed study of the discretization of the new p -adic Schrödinger equations, which allows the construction …

Machine Learning Local Potentials For Accelerated Electron-Phonon Interactions Calculations Within The Projector Augmented-Wave Framework, Yi Xia

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Electron–phonon interactions govern carrier dynamics, transport, and many optical and quantum phenomena in solids, but finite-displacement calculations within the projector augmented-wave (PAW) framework require up to 6N self-consistent supercell calculations for an N-atom system, making them costly for large, low-symmetry, and disordered materials. We introduce MLLocP, a machine learning (ML) strategy that learns the self-consistent local potential (LocP) on real-space grids and supplies its displacement derivatives to the evaluation of all-electron PAW electron–phonon matrix elements. Analysis of the PAW decomposition identifies the local-potential contribution as a natural target for machine learning, while the remaining PAW quantities are retained within the …

Behind The Peacock Throne: Rethinking Imperial Ethnicity In The Mughal Empire, Torre Nordgren

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

The Mughal Empire was one of the most ethnically diverse early modern states to have ever ruled, containing an array of states that are currently at the center of a geopolitical tug of war today. This brings forth the two main questions of how the Mughal Empire effectively administered their domains, and to what extent are signs of an early ethnic conflict present in the Empire? Utilizing an imperial framework with Anatoly Iseanko’s model to observe translated primary sources, a swath of rich secondary sources, and Mughal art; the early stages of an ethnic conflict reveals a rift between Hindu …

Beyond The Mountain: Rethinking Decolonization In Quisqueya Through Complementarity Of Haiti And The Dominican Republic, Mihailo Vučetić

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

By moving beyond familiar binaries, French/Spanish, Black/white, colony/nation, the paper challenges comparative frameworks that isolate Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Drawing on Achille Mbembe’s genealogical approach to decolonization, Frantz Fanon’s account of liberation as violent and world-making, and Mary Louise Pratt’s “contact zones,” it traces how colonial divergence and revolution produced not two isolated national stories but a shared terrain of forced unifications, mutual influence, and contested memory.

German Jewish Integration And The Illusion Of Permanence, 1781–1933, Matthew M. Larian

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

This paper argues that German Jewish integration from the late eighteenth century through the Weimar Republic was a genuinely successful project, and it was that success itself, not failure of foresight, that left the community unprepared for the Nazi rupture. The paper reframes the standard question: instead of asking why German Jews failed to predict Nazism, it asks how the success of integration itself narrowed the imagination of what was possible.

Developing The North: The Matachewan Region Mines And Northern Development In Ontario, 1916-1954, Simon Baer

Armstrong Undergraduate Journal of History

This article examines northern Ontario’s Matachewan mining district as a case study in the environmental consequences of twentieth‑century northern development. Centering on the Young‑Davidson and Matachewan Consolidated gold mines, it traces how provincial policies, low taxation, and permissive claim laws encouraged a rapid extension of Ontario’s extractive economy into the Canadian Shield. By juxtaposing the interwar political economy of “opening the North” with the long‑term impacts on land, water, and fish populations, the article argues that Ontario’s eagerness to promote northern mining produced a regime of de facto deregulation whose environmental costs only became fully visible decades after the initial …

Interpreting The Mystery Of The Edmund Fitzgerald: A Reexamination Of Maritime Documentation, Phillip C. Brady

The most probable of the three reasons, hatch failure, compromising seas, or shoaling, can be concluded through a thorough analysis of prominent sources paired with new research gathered from the receptivity of each conclusion to the average person.

Reparative Soil Science: Soil, Colonialism, And Environmental Justice Between Scientific Knowledge And Local Cultures, Gian Franco Capra, Thiago Assis Rodrigues Nogueira, Cassio Hamilton Abreu-Junior, Arun Dilipkumar Jani, Eleonora Grilli, Antonio Ganga

Biology, Agriculture and Chemistry Faculty Publications and Presentations

Soil is a repository for historical accounts of power, dispossession, and cultural continuity. This paper proposes the development of “reparative soil science,” a new paradigm that combines soil remediation with theories of environmental justice, decolonization, and multi-knowledge systems. We define it as an orientation within soil science that treats the discipline’s own concepts, classifications, and survey conventions as historical products, and that couples the biophysical repair of degraded soils with repair of the rights, relations, and forms of knowledge that colonial land regimes displaced. By analyzing examples from around the world, the paper shows how colonialism and postcolonial land governance …

A Finite Element Model For Thermomechanical Stress-Strain Fields In Transversely Isotropic Strain-Limiting Materials, Saugata Ghosh, Dambaru Bhatta, S. M. Mallikarjunaiah

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

This paper presents a comprehensive computational framework for investigating thermo-elastic fracture in transversely isotropic materials, where classical linear elasticity fails to predict physically realistic behavior near stress concentrations. We address the challenge of unphysical strain singularities at crack tips by employing a strain-limiting theory of elasticity. This theory is characterized by an algebraically nonlinear constitutive relationship between stress and strain, which intrinsically enforces a limit on the norm of the strain tensor. This approach allows the development of very large stresses, as expected near a crack tip, while ensuring that the corresponding strains remain physically bounded. A loosely coupled system …

Making The Implicit Explicit For Multilingual Learners: A Language-Based Framework For Literacy Development, Luciana C. De Oliveira

Journal of English Learner Education

Literacy is fundamentally an act of meaning-making that requires bridging micro-level linguistic choices with macro-level text structures across genres. Current literacy policies dominated by Science of Reading (SoR) mandates often overemphasize isolated, word-level foundational skills. This narrow focus creates a one-size-fits-all model that reduces reading to the level of individual words, not appropriate for multilingual learners (MLs) who require access to dense, specialized disciplinary discourse. This article proposes an intentional, language-based literacy framework designed to build high-challenge, high-support classrooms for MLs without lowering academic expectations. Integrating genre-based pedagogy through the Teaching and Learning Cycle (TLC) with the mode continuum, the …

Race, Embodiment, And Professionalism: A Critical Intersectional Analysis Of Brazilian Sign Language Interpreting, Roberto César Reis Da Costa, Sheila Santos

Journal of Interpretation

This paper investigates the intersections of race, corporate professionalism, and somatic regulation within Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) translation and interpretation. While traditional translation scholarship prioritizes linguistic neutrality, this study employs an interdisciplinary critical methodology combining Critical Race Theory (CRT), Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS) to deconstruct how standard professional aesthetics inadvertently sustain systemic racism and Eurocentric cultural erasure. Utilizing a textual deconstruction of Article 5 of the National Libras Code of Ethics alongside an autoethnographic mapping of workplace visual ergonomics, we examine how racialized aesthetic expectations regulate and pathologize cultural markers such as braided hairstyles, …
