Hardware-Rooted Integrity Attestation For Ai Agents, Niranjan M M

Defensive Publications Series

The proposal introduces a hardware-rooted integrity attestation framework for AI agents that enables a platform to verify that a live agent instance is genuine, untampered, and running in an approved execution state before it is trusted with sensitive actions. By measuring agent-specific artifacts such as binaries, models, plugins, policies, and runtime composition, and binding that measured state to a trusted platform identity and freshness evidence, the system enables real-time and continuous trust decisions for AI agents across physical and virtual environments. In some embodiments, the attestation pipeline is further strengthened using a hardware quantum entropy source to improve nonce generation, …

Semantic Evolution Of Biomedical Data Ecosystems Using Dependency Graphs, Soumendra Kumar Mishra

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure presents a framework for managing semantic evolution across biomedical data ecosystems using dependency graphs. Changes to terminologies, ontologies, information models, mappings, datasets, analytical features, and AI/ML assets are represented as typed semantic changes and propagated across their dependencies. The framework identifies affected artifacts, determines the semantic conditions that must be preserved, and selects the minimum set of transformations required to accommodate the change. Current and proposed semantic states are validated against consistent evaluation criteria to assess mapping consistency, feature compatibility, model dependencies, and traceability. When validation succeeds, the proposed state is released with supporting evidence. When validation does …

Invisible Anchor Document Augmentation, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Printed pages can be linked to videos, explanations, translations, and interactive controls without adding a visible code or marker to the page. The system described here identifies a page from its own words and layout, looks up digital attachment points stored as fractions of the page width and height, and projects those points into a live camera image. Because the attachment points are independent of pixels, they remain aligned when the page is printed at a different size, rotated, or viewed at an angle. A staged recognition process first uses recognized text, then page layout, and finally the overall visual …

Robust Nozzle Calibration For Homogeneous Line Printing, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Current ground-printing technology uses a printhead equipped with nozzles to deposit ink onto a surface. Several printhead parameters, such as pressure and firing frequency, can be configured, directly influencing the printing result and image quality. Printing line weight is one outcome of this configuration and is particularly relevant for ground-printing robots, whose primary purpose is the printing of construction layouts on the floor. However, line weight may vary depending on environmental conditions, printhead lifecycle and health, floor substrate characteristics, and other operational factors. These sources of variability can make it difficult to achieve a consistent printed output across different deployment …

Improving Web Accessibility Using On-Device Models, Gudipati Tarun

Defensive Publications Series

Modern web environments typically present navigation barriers for assistive technologies when web content lacks explicit programmatic semantics. A system can utilize an intermediating browser layer configured to execute a multimodal edge machine learning model entirely on a device of a user. The system may scan Document Object Model (DOM) structures to extract layout contexts and generate synthesized structural attributes. The generated attributes can be dynamically injected into an accessibility tree of a browser. Such an approach may enable real-time local remediation of interactive elements, embedded frames, tabular data, and visual media without communicating information to a remote server, thereby preserving …

The Predictive Scoring For Dynamic Payment Routing And User Interface Adaptation, Sree Sitamahalakshmi Moguluru

Defensive Publications Series

In the field of digital payment processing, transaction routing systems can operate reactively by identifying performance degradation within a payment processor's network after user transactions have failed. A predictive payment orchestration framework can utilize a machine learning inference engine to generate a real-time authorization probability score for a transaction across multiple available payment processors. This score can be calculated using real-time telemetry signals from the processors and the specific metadata of the pending transaction. Based on the calculated scores, an execution engine can dynamically route the payment to a selected processor or signal a user-facing interface (e.g., a web application, …

Trust-Validated Recovery Of Network Interface Hardware Addresses, Vipin Nagar, Sarathy Venkatakrishnan

Defensive Publications Series

A system is proposed herein for allowing a network interface controller (NIC) to self-heal its media access control (MAC) address in the field safely and only when recovery is warranted. The system operates without an operator or manufacturing tooling and can avoid return merchandise authorization (RMA). When a root of trust (RoT)-anchored authoritative source is used, the system provides a tamper-evident basis for the true MAC address.

Generating Content With Cryptographically Verifiable Atomic Facts, Sandeep Kumar

Defensive Publications Series

Systems and methods are described that can use a decoupled architecture to separate data generation from data presentation. A data generation layer can extract atomic facts from source documents and apply a per-value cryptographic token to each fact, creating a verifiable link to its origin using, for example, hashes and digital signatures. A verifiable presentation layer can then use a gatekeeper mechanism to cryptographically validate each fact's token before rendering the fact. This approach can enable granular, per-fact verification at the point of presentation, which may reduce the likelihood of displaying unverified data.

Intelligent Universal Power Connection Fabric For Dynamic Datacenter Rack Deployment, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

An intelligent DC power connection fabric integrates into datacenter infrastructure as a network of high-density smart nodes arranged in a floor or overhead grid. A hardware rack connects to the nearest smart node, and the system automatically senses the rack’s specific power requirements, including voltage, amperage, and phase. The system then negotiates a safe power delivery profile and dynamically routes the corresponding power configuration to that node. This process occurs without manual physical re-wiring, which decouples hardware placement from fixed electrical outlet specifications. This flexible deployment for racks with diverse power needs reduces deployment delays and stranded capacity within the …

A Transactional Provenance Framework For Causal And Counterfactual Debugging In Multi-Agent Ai Systems, Niranjan M M

Defensive Publications Series

Multi-agent AI systems are increasingly used to perform complex, high-impact tasks by coordinating multiple autonomous or semi-autonomous agents with distinct roles such as planning, execution, validation, safety enforcement, and tool invocation. While such systems offer significant flexibility and scalability, their distributed and emergent behavior makes them difficult to understand, debug, and govern, particularly when failures manifest as subtle misbehavior rather than explicit errors.

The proposal presents a transactional provenance framework for causal and counterfactual debugging in multi-agent AI systems. The framework captures the evolution of a multi-agent system as a set of verifiable, causally linked transactions that record agent state …

Copper-Core Gradient Memristor With Nested 81 Magnetic Bias — Crescendo Learning Without Torture, David Lee Wise, Avan Lee Wise

Defensive Publications Series

We present a bench-reproducible copper-core memristor that uses an 81-step nested magnetic gradient as a bias ladder to achieve incremental, analog conductance states without high-voltage forming torture. The device combines a Cu/Cu2S or Cu/HfO2 filament junction (Sapphon Core 1) with a surrounding 2x1x2 -++- quadrupole base expanded to 81 magnets (48 outer weak + 24 middle + 9 inner strong) in equal spacing but gradient strength (0.5 mT → 8 mT). Combined with a Quad Cortex architecture (Cortex A Ethos, B Logos, D Pathos, C Mythos cross-tethered) and Hall sensor at null-field, the device learns as a crescendo: 0 → …

Creativity In A Digital World, Rafael Conde Melguizo, Jessica Blanco Marcos

Libros

Durante décadas, la internacionalización de la educación superior se ha construido principalmente sobre una idea: viajar para estudiar. Las universidades han desarrollado amplias redes de colaboración que permiten a sus estudiantes cursar un semestre o un año académico en otra institución, ya sea mediante programas de movilidad europeos o a través de acuerdos bilaterales con universidades de todo el mundo. Junto a estas movilidades tradicionales, las dobles titulaciones internacionales, los programas conjuntos o la creciente oferta docente en diferentes idiomas han contribuido igualmente a construir universidades más abiertas y conectadas. Todas ellas fortalecen la dimensión internacional de las instituciones y …

The Caged Canary: Compounded Discrimination And The Female Jazz Vocalist, Isabella Eaton

Master's Theses

While women have historically represented the overwhelming majority of jazz vocalists, they have also experienced a unique legitimacy gap in a culture that traditionally grants the status of authenticity to the masculine instrumentalist. This study explores the experiences of mid-twentieth century female jazz vocalists, arguing that they faced compounded discrimination within American jazz culture as a result of gender marginalization and the devaluation of their vocal instrument. The intricacies of this phenomenon necessitate a multipronged qualitative approach by employing historiographical analysis, synthesis of existing scholarship, and qualitative case study research methods. Beginning with the dichotomy between the jazz “cat” and …

Click To Sue: Defining Receipt Of Eeoc Notices In The Digital Age, Robert J. Toth Jr.

St. Mary's Law Journal

Federal employment discrimination statutes condition a claimant’s right to sue on timely receipt of a “right-to-sue” notice from the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).  Courts have historically treated certified mail slips as sufficient to trigger a claimant’s ninety-day filing window, regardless of when the claimant opened or retrieved the letter.  In the digital era, the EEOC increasingly issues notices through email and its online Public Portal, raising questions about when electronic notice constitutes “receipt.”

This Article examines recent federal appellate court decisions—Lax v. Mayorkas, McDonald v. St. Louis University, and García-Gesualdo v. Honeywell Aerospace of Puerto Rico, …

Staff Education To Improve 7-Day Post-Discharge Psychiatric Follow-Up, Michael Curtis Kwashie

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Too many psychiatric patients leave the hospital without a follow-up appointment, a gap that may cost lives. Research has consistently shown that the days immediately after discharge from psychiatric inpatient or emergency care are among the most dangerous in a patient’s trajectory, marked by elevated suicide risk, relapse, and avoidable readmission. Yet, across behavioral health settings, completion of outpatient follow-up within 7 days of discharge remains inconsistent; typically, standardized processes are often missing. This doctoral project in staff education was created to fill that gap and examined whether implementing a standardized discharge transition protocol, supported by targeted, interdisciplinary staff education, …

Staff Education To Improve Sleep Hygiene Knowledge And Competency Among Nursing Staff On An Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit, Jennings Ubadi Mekoba

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This staff education project addressed the gap in standardized knowledge and implementation of evidence-based sleep hygiene interventions among nursing staff on an inpatient behavioral health unit. Sleep disturbances affect 80%–90% of psychiatric patients and directly impact treatment outcomes and recovery. I developed the practice-focused question to consider whether an evidence-based sleep hygiene education program would enhance the awareness, knowledge, and practices of the nursing staff regarding sleep hygiene interventions. A thorough literature review of 23 high-quality sources formed the background for the development of a structured educational intervention that encompassed assessment methodologies, nonpharmacological interventions, environmental interventions, and patient education interventions. …

The Perception Of Gay Black Males Concerning Cultural Responsiveness Of Police Officer Use Of Force, Christopher M. Collier

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Police officers’ use of force on the public has been a popular topic of conversation over the last decade. Political campaigns, social media platforms, and neighborhood groups have expressed concerns about how police officers use force disproportionately within various communities. Suggestions have been made to increase police training, promote body-worn cameras, and foster greater transparency to hold police officers accountable for actions that may be unethical or illegal. This study sought to understand if cultural environments have an effect on law enforcement’s interaction with Black same gender loving males (BSGLM). Understanding the use of force was derived from BSGLMs’ perspectives …

High-Resolution Taxonomic Assessment Using Pacbio 16s Rrna Sequencing Of Farm Animal Slurry, Broiler Waste And Anaerobically Digested Wastewater Treatment Sludge And Description Of Soil Microbiota, Natalia Alija-Novo, Leonard Koolman, Karl G. Richards, Paul Whyte, Declan Bolton

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

The application of organic wastes as fertilisers is important for sustainable agriculture, provided that resulting changes in microbial communities do not disrupt nutrient cycling or soil fertility. To the authors’ knowledge, this study was the first to use PacBio 16S rRNA sequencing to characterise soil microbiota changes following waste application to land. This technology provides high taxonomic resolution, improving the characterisation of complex soil microbial communities. To assess the microbiota of five organic wastes and describe soil microbiota following field application, 18 plots received each waste in triplicate at nitrogen-equivalent rates simulating band spreading. Soil cores were collected at 0, …

Knowledge-Enhanced Feature Store For Operational Ml And Llm Workflows, Saurabh Suman

Master's Theses

Modern machine learning (ML) organizations rely on feature stores to manage training and production data, yet as catalogs grow to thousands of features, semantic management becomes the bottleneck: discovery, governance, and metric selection remain largely manual. This thesis proposes and evaluates a knowledge-enhanced feature store that augments a dual-plane store with a hybrid knowledge layer—relational provenance, a lineage graph, semantic vector retrieval, and an online cache—and an LLM-driven multi-agent layer for profiling, matching, grounded metric recommendation, and pipeline generation. A working prototype was evaluated across three task families—semantic profiling, feature-matching retrieval, and discovery—using classification, ranking, and operational metrics computed by …
