System For Jurisdictional Mapping And Dynamic Routing Of Cloud Api Requests, Johannes Start, John Lunney

Defensive Publications Series

Cloud agents interacting with third-party services via generic application programming interface (API) endpoints should adhere to data residency requirements. A system may intercept outbound API requests to help manage data sovereignty policies. The system can use a hierarchical region-to-jurisdiction map and a service capability matrix to determine a request's source jurisdiction and identify compliant endpoints for the destination service. If a compliant endpoint is available, the system can dynamically rewrite the request to target that endpoint. If no compliant endpoint is found, the request can be blocked. This technique may facilitate the enforcement of jurisdictional data processing rules by decoupling …

Orchestrating Agent Failover Using A Relationship Tree With Defined Dependency Types, Gaurav Sangamnerkar, Himesh Mukherjee

Defensive Publications Series

In distributed computing environments with multiple interacting agents, interdependencies can contribute to localized agent failures escalating into system-wide outages, as some protocols may not adequately define dependency-based failover strategies. A control plane framework can manage such interdependencies by employing an agent relationship tree (ART). The ART can be a data structure that maps the relationships between agents and annotates each with a dependency type, for example, solid for dependencies designated as strongrelationship or fluid for those with lower importance. An agent orchestrator can monitor agent health and, upon detecting a failure, can consult the ART to initiate a context-aware recovery …

Dynamic Antenna Configuration For Ntn Links Via Predictive Look-Up Table Search, Ali Molaei, Kasra Ghaemi, Gregory Black

Defensive Publications Series

Establishing communication links between mobile terminals, such as smartphones or vehicle communication systems, and non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), for instance, low earth orbit satellite constellations, can be impacted by frequent variations in signal characteristics as satellites move. If a static antenna configuration on a mobile device does not adapt to this dynamic signal environment, link degradation may result. A system for dynamic antenna configuration can use a pre-calculated look-up table (LUT) that maps various satellite positions and signal properties to corresponding antenna tune states. During operation, a predictive algorithm on the terminal can use real-time signal strength measurements and the LUT …

Jurnal Administrasi Bisnis Terapan

ABSTRACT

Content creators face significant challenges in maintaining audience engagement and social relevance amidst dynamic platform algorithms. This study analyzes YouTuber Asian Survivor's personal branding strategy in building authenticity, engagement, and audience donation motivation using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative analysis employed t-tests and binary logistic regression on 101 videos, while qualitative analysis was conducted through in-depth interviews and observation. Results indicate that neither vulnerable nor inspiring narrative types significantly differentiate engagement levels; however, videos that successfully raised donations exhibited significantly higher engagement rates. Regression analysis proved that an increase in engagement rate raises donation probability by 2.5 times. Qualitative findings …

Examining The Effects Of Acculturative Stress And Religiosity Within Muslim Immigrants, Aasma Nuzzi

ETD Collection

ABSTRACT There remains a substantial need for awareness about mental health and effective counselling within Muslim immigrant communities. Previous research has found higher levels of stress, depression, and anxiety amongst Muslim immigrants; however, limited research has focused on the manner in which acculturative stress and religiosity influence psychological well-being, particularly when also considering generational differences. Therefore, using a sample composed of 369 first and second-generation South Asian Muslim immigrants, the following study examined the effects of acculturative stress on depression and life satisfaction, as well the moderating influence of religiosity and generational differences. As hypothesized, acculturative stress was significantly negatively …

From The Ashes Of Silence: How Transgenerational Trauma And Adaptive Communication Styles Affect The Ability Of Grandchildren Of Holocaust Survivors To Cope With Antisemitism, Diana Ariel Harman

ETD Collection

The Holocaust was a shocking atrocity that killed six million Jews (Bauman, 2003). The literal translation of The Holocaust is: “from the ashes” (Stein, 2014). This definition describes the experience of a Holocaust survivor having to build themselves up from the ashes of destruction. Throughout the past 70 years, researchers have tried to answer the question of whether traumatic events can be passed down to those who have never experienced them (Kellerman, 2024). Although there have been many ways of defining this transmission of trauma from historical, collective, intergenerational, and transgenerational trauma, one approach is to examine the longterm effects …

Faculty Publications

The development of photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices involves the attachment of molecular photosensitizers onto solid supports. Particularly significant to this work are PECs that rely on ruthenium-based photosensitizers on high band gap metal oxide (MOx) supports. In this study, we have explored a new ester binding motif (MOx-ester) to covalently attach a ruthenium polypyridyl photosensitizer to TiO₂. This new MOx-ester photoanode is compared to the traditional photoanodes that utilize acid/base binding groups to attach the molecular Ru sensitizers to TiO₂. The new MOx-ester binding motif is characterized by cyclic voltammetry UV-Vis, solid state ¹³C NMR, and …
