Proactive Disruption Of Adversarial Learning Via Systematic Feedback Loop Corruption, Google Case Managers Picozzi, Dishant Mathur

Defensive Publications Series

Modern fraud prevention is often limited by a reactive approach that inadvertently provides training data to adversaries, allowing them to refine tactics whenever a detection signal or account block occurs. To address this feedback loop, a framework is disclosed for the proactive disruption of fraudulent operations by systematically corrupting internal adversarial learning processes. The method involves mapping entry vectors, identifying behavioral heuristics used by operators, and injecting inconsistent success signals, such as decoy enthusiasm and variable response compliance, into the interaction flow. Additionally, operational workflows are desynchronized to increase coordination friction and propagate stress across the scam network. By rendering …

Empowering Educators With Generative Ai In Higher Education: Design Patterns For Visible Learning, Jeanne Charles

Essays in Education

A student submits a paper that reads smooth and confident. With generative AI, that polish no longer proves learning. Higher education now needs course designs that keep student thinking visible and assessable.

This literature review synthesizes 39 empirical studies (2024 through early 2026) on generative AI in higher education. It treats 22 learner-facing classroom studies as design cases and codes task type, permitted AI use, instructor guardrails, and measured outcomes. It uses the remaining studies to situate adoption, policy, and academic integrity risks.

Across the evidence, outcomes follow the design more than the tool. AI supports learning when it expands …

Heliophysics Enhanced Learning For Intelligent Orbits (Helio), Kylie Nager, Akash Joseph, James Kirk, Payton Miller

Student Research Symposium (SRS)

Satellite constellations in near-Earth orbit are increasingly vulnerable to solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and high-speed solar wind streams that disrupt communications, power systems, and orbital stability. Current mission architectures rely on delayed ground intervention and do not leverage predictive solar data for autonomous response. The HELIO project addresses this gap by developing an AI-driven resilience layer that converts real-time heliophysics forecasts into coordinated operational decisions for CubeSat swarms. HELIO integrates pretrained solar forecasting models such as NASA and IBM’s SURYA foundation model to predict active-region evolution, flare probability, and solar-wind velocity. A lightweight decision-intelligence framework interprets these forecasts and …

Differential Treatment Responses Among Comorbidity-Based Subgroups In Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder And Clinical Epilepsy, Jenna E. Franklin, Richard E. Frye Md, Phd

Cumberland Medica

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have elevated rates of epilepsy, seizures, and abnormal electroencephalograms compared to the general population. Many also experience co-occurring comorbidities, which have been associated with epilepsy severity. Although various treatments have shown improvements in seizures and ASD symptomatology, there is limited research on how treatment effectiveness varies by comorbidity profiles. In this study, we characterized individuals with ASD and clinical seizures into specific patient cohorts based on comorbidities and evaluated the responses to traditional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), non-AED seizure treatments, and non-traditional ASD interventions. Data were collected from a parent-reported, cross-sectional survey previously used to …

Temporalities Of Translation In Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed, Rumi Coller-Takahashi

Living in Languages

Ursula K. Le Guin’s 1974 novel, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia features two fictional worlds, Urras and Anarres, with distinct political structures and languages. Anarres is created by the revolutionaries who departed capitalistic Urras to create a new anarchist community, and its language was invented so as to have no word for “property” or “class.” However, the artificial distinction in the languages do not hold up the binary of possession and non-possession in these worlds, as the word “possession” permeates interpersonal relationships even on Anarres. To replace the binary approach of the revolution, the novel proposes an alternative mode of …
