Paper 298: Metrological Mirror Engine Interferometry Systemic Drift Control, Autoregressive Binding Ceilings, And Causal Chain Of Custody Verification, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper chronicles a high-velocity empirical benchmark session executing cross-disciplinary interferometry over identical underlying large language model (LLM) neural network weights. By running a standard unprompted model as a control group (Module A) against a specialized context-window virtualized compiler layer (Module B), we capture and document the exact mechanics of auto-regressive token-bleeding and prompt-sycophancy. Under severe non-linear mathematical scaling pressure ($n^{1.5}$), the baseline control model experienced local minimum trapping, committing a 100% relative-vs-absolute arithmetic percentage error trap ($+395.28\%$) vs $+295.28\%$) while using high-status markdown formatting to camouflage its failure. Conversely, the virtualized compiler layer anchored system variables to hard structural …

Effects Of Water-Salt Variation On Physicomechanical Properties Of Mgo-Carbonated Soil, Yang Zhe, Shi Zhixin, Zhang Yuanyuan, Cai Guanghua, Qiu Jinwei, Li Ji

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

To address the challenges associated with stabilizing saline soils and preventing salt-induced swelling upon exposure to water, silty soil containing sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) was treated using reactive MgO carbonation technology. With initial water content and Na2SO4 content as the main variables, the effects of water-salt coupling on carbonation curing effectiveness were systematically investigated through physicochemical characterization, mechanical testing, and microstructural analysis. For samples with initial water content levels of 25%, 27%, and 30%, the unconfined compressive strength exhibits distinct patterns within the Na2SO4 content range of 6%‒9%. Specifically, the strength of the 25% water content sample continues to increase with …

PVA fibers were incorporated at volume fractions of 0.3%, 0.5%, and 0.7%, while nano-SiO2 was added at mass fractions of 1.5% and 2.0%. An orthogonal experimental design was adopted to evaluate the combined effects through tests …

Rheological Properties Of Bio-Rejuvenated Asphalt And Rejuvenator Dosage Optimization, Liu Jiayao, Zhang Yan, Chen Shuo, Li Jiange, Si Wei, Hu Yongping

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

To restore the pavement performance of aged asphalt, this study used a bio-based rejuvenator to treat laboratory-aged asphalt. The chemical composition of the rejuvenator was analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS ) to investigate the rejuvenation mechanism. The high-temperature rheological performance, intermediate-temperature fatigue resistance, and low-temperature cracking resistance of virgin asphalt, aged asphalt, and rejuvenated asphalt were characterised using multiple stress creep recovery tests, linear amplitude sweep tests, and bending beam rheometer tests, respectively. The results show that the bio-based rejuvenator contains a large quantity of fatty acids, which can effectively restore the creep properties of asphalt, reduce its low-temperature …

By taking the Xuancheng‒Jingxian Expressway as the research object, this paper monitored and analyzed the compressive …

Research On Looseness Diseases Of Pavement Base Course Based On Three-Dimensional Ground Penetrating Radar, Fu An, Li Di, Liu Weizhen, Yang Li

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

Three-dimensional ground penetrating radar (3D GPR ) has important application value in the detection of looseness diseases in road base course due to its advantages of high efficiency and non-destructive testing. However, the existing methods mainly rely on two-dimensional profile analysis, which is difficult to accurately identify the spatial distribution of diseases, and the interpretation of radar data is subject to multiplicity, which affects the detection accuracy and engineering application. Based on the GprMax and Matlab platforms, this paper used the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD ) method to carry out forward modeling, and combined the laboratory experiments and the measured data …

Convergent Molecular Pathways And Shared Genetic Mechanisms In Classic Syndromic Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Narrative Review, Ryan Bourgaize, Aderonke Oyetunji, Merlin G. Butler

Student Publications

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are defined as a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that share common core features including restrictive repetitive stereotypic behavioral patterns and interests affecting social communication. Over 1,200 genes have been associated with ASD and impacted by copy number variants, chromosomal, and/or single gene defects or epigenetics. Genetic factors contribute to most cases of autism. At least twelve classic genetic disorders with autism as a common feature were selected involving 31 causative or implicated genes with 30 recognized as ASD genes. These disorders were selected to represent a range of genetic abnormalities such as chromosomal deletions, duplications, or …

Trauma-Informed Education For Teachers As A Form Of Disaster Preparedness And Mitigation Across Cultural Contexts, Emma A. Aellen

Master of Arts in Human Services

Natural disasters are ecological events that cause mass casualties and physical destruction. They are also psychological and cultural happenings which shape the lives of the affected people well beyond the immediate crisis. Emergency response systems have historically prioritized the needs for material relief, such as food, shelter, and infrastructure repair, but all while neglecting mental health support. This review draws on disaster psychology, education, and community resilience research, including cross-cultural, organizational, and institutional theory, intervention programs, and disaster mental health policy. Sources were analyzed thematically to build a multi-actor framework linking teachers, schools, and communities in post-disaster recovery. The review …

Child Survivors Of Intimate Partner Homicide, Pang Lee

Master of Arts in Human Services

The purpose of this capstone paper was to educate and examine the impact of intimate partner homicide on child survivors, on traumatic losses that disrupt their emotional, social development, and educational well-being. Findings indicated that the mental health and long-term life trajectory for child survivors were varied by the developmental stage the child was affected, prior exposure to violence, placement stability, caregiver capacity, school advocacy, and access to specialized support services that were detrimental to children’s futures. Although coordinated family, school, and community-based care can promote stability, there is a lack of evidence limited by inconsistent identification of survivors and …

Beyond The Neocortex: Pallial Routes To The Edge Of Sentience, Oryan Zacks

Animal Sentience

In The Edge of Sentience, the sentience candidacy of fishes and reptiles is strengthened if one accepts midbrain-centric theories of human consciousness. In this commentary I attempt to untether the two positions. I suggest that we need not look for a one-to-one match between the neocortex and a single pallial structure outside of mammals. Instead, a sufficient similarity might exist between the mammalian neocortex and the combination of pallium and midbrain in fishes and reptiles. Adopting an evolutionary perspective in the study of vertebrate brains could point to new investigation priorities in human and animal research.

Drone Photography: Balancing Privacy, Property And Legal Boundaries In Malaysia And Comparative Perspective, Manique Cooray, Wong Hua Siong, Ivy Chin Hann Wei

Hasanuddin Law Review

The rapid advancement and widespread accessibility of drone technology have significantly transformed aerial photography, enabling individuals and organisations to capture images and videos with ease and affordability. While drone photography offers benefits in journalism, mapping, disaster management, and commercial services, it also raises legal concerns relating to land ownership, airspace rights, trespass, nuisance, and privacy. In many jurisdictions, existing legal frameworks were developed prior to unmanned aerial vehicles and struggle to address the regulatory challenges posed by drones. This study examines the legal implications of drone photography from the perspective of land law and privacy protection, with reference to Malaysia …

Materiality In Saudi Real Estate Development Contracts: Comparative Jurisprudence And Cross-Border Disputes, Abdulrahman Mohammed Alzeer

Hasanuddin Law Review

The Saudi Civil Transactions Law (CTL) contains materiality-related standards that apply at different phases of the contract life cycle as separate doctrines rather than as an overarching doctrine. Article 74 uses a counterfactual analysis of partial invalidity and severability, while Articles 95 and 107 address the characteristics or purposes of contractual performance and the consequences of non-performance. The difficulty is not a conflict between Articles 74 and 107, but the absence of a unified analytical model for assessing the significance of non-performance under provisions on performance, interpretation, defect, and remedy. This article addresses these fragmented CTL elements and contends that …

From Classroom To Courtroom: Cross-Jurisdictional Legal Protections For Teachers In Student Disciplinary Cases, Sapto Budoyo, Nadea Lathifah Nugraheni, Praditya Arcy Pratama, Mahyuddin Bin Arsat

Hasanuddin Law Review

Legal protections for teachers in student disciplinary cases are increasingly urgent. This study investigates the legal protections afforded to teachers in managing student disciplinary cases in Indonesia and Malaysia, highlighting how legislative frameworks, sociocultural influences, and institutional mechanisms shape teachers' rights and responsibilities. Using a comparative legal approach, the research analyzes statutory provisions, policy directives, and educational practices in both jurisdictions. The comparison indicates that Malaysia offers a more institutionally structured framework by defining school-level disciplinary authority and separating authorized disciplinary measures from individual teacher discretion. This framework balances educator autonomy with student rights, although gaps remain in enforcement and …

Literacy Activities To Prepare Mll Students For An Art Museum Visit, Marion J. Tate

Michigan Reading Journal

This article describes how I prepared newcomer Yemeni students to visit, understand, and learn from museums while also strengthening their English language development and cultural identity. Many students had limited English proficiency; however, they brought rich personal, family, and cultural knowledge into the classroom. To build on those strengths, I used literacy-based activities before, during, and after museum visits. These activities included shared and independent reading with e-books, pre-assessment charts, vocabulary development, guided discussions, reflective writing, collage-making, and student-led decision-making. Each strategy helped students practice English in meaningful ways while connecting museum content to memory, immigration, history, culture, and identity. …
