Asphalt Pavement Rejuvenation Investigated By Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry, Catherine Skaggs

Miners Solving for Tomorrow Research Conference

Asphalt is a relatively inexpensive material commonly used for road pavements; however, asphalt ages from exposure to oxygen and UV radiation, leading to loss of elasticity, which leads to cracks and potholes. To slow or reverse asphalt aging, pavement preservation treatments are in use. It’s unclear whether these treatments truly rejuvenate the pavement structure or merely offer a short-term benefit. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxometry is an analytical technique that uses the recovery of excited nuclear magnetization as a parameter to gain insights into molecular environments. Recovery-time distributions gathered from asphalt materials show differences between regular and rejuvenated asphalt samples, …

Automated Security Policy Validation From Natural Language Documentation Using Large Language Models, Leonid Kuligin, Aleksandr Ostapenko

Defensive Publications Series

Determining security permissions from natural language documentation, for example, runbooks, can be a time-consuming and error-prone process that may lead to runtime failures or security vulnerabilities. A system can use large language models (LLMs) to analyze documentation, infer a candidate permission policy, and generate a corresponding test script. The script can then be executed in a sandboxed environment using the candidate policy. An iterative refinement loop may diagnose permission-related failures and use an LLM to propose policy modifications to address those failures. This automated process can assist in generating a functional permission policy derived from operational instructions, which may reduce …

Quantifying The Impact Of Mobile Distractions On College Students' Attention Performance, Sonipriya Paul, Jessica L. Bolton, Ashwin Ashok

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference

This research identifies that it is important to understand how humans sustain and recover attention to their primary activity amid mobile device interruptions. In this paper, we present our key findings and insights from an user-study based measurement of attention performance of graduate students. Ten participants (graduate students) independently completed attention tasks in an office environment (with no background noise) while receiving periodic messages (distraction), with continuous data recording on a wearable electroencephalography (EEG) headset. The attention tasks were designed in line with the standard GO/NO-GO test from psychology domain. Our experimentation included three variations of the GO/NO-GO test and …

Meduncertainvlm: Multi-Modal Uncertainty Quantification In Vision-Language Models For Clinical Documentation, Shikhar Patel, Rushabh Darji

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference

Vision-language models are increasingly deployed for clinical documentation tasks in radiology. A common application involves extracting diagnostic labels from chest radiographs with reports. These models must communicate calibrated uncertainty to avoid influencing patient care incorrectly. Overconfident predictions from poorly calibrated models pose a documented patient safety risk. Existing medical vision-language models produce only point estimates without any confidence bounds. Standard post-hoc calibration methods such as temperature scaling omit cross-modal signals entirely. They cannot detect cases where image and text branches make genuinely inconsistent predictions. This paper presents MedUncertainVLM, a framework that addresses this gap directly and systematically. The system uses …

Cross Correlation-Based Physiological Synchronization For Multi-Modal Wearable Cognitive Stress Monitoring System, Fariha Alam, Nora Tin, Razvan Voicu

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference

Cognitive stress arises from sustained mental demand, information overload, or task complexity, and requires continuous monitoring for timely detection and intervention in real-world settings. It produces subtle physiological changes, including shifts in heart rate and autonomic activity that require continuous monitoring to detect reliably. Wearable sensors such as photoplethysmography (PPG) and electrodermal activity (EDA) enable non-invasive tracking of these responses. However, multi-modal sensor integration remains challenging, as hardware or software-level synchronization does not consider the physiological response delays. To address this, the study collected PPG and EDA sensor data from ten participants under two cognitive stress-inducing conditions. After preprocessing, heart …

Agripestdatabase-V1.0: A Structured Insect Dataset For Training Agricultural Large Language Model, Yagizhan Bilal Durak, Ashley Morgan-Olvera, Ahsan Ul Islam, Iftekhar Ibne Basith, Shahidul Islam, Syed Hasib Akhter Faruqui

Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) Conference

Agricultural pest management increasingly relies on timely and accurate access to expert knowledge, yet high quality labeled data and continuous expert support remain limited, particularly for farmers operating in rural regions with unstable or no internet connectivity. At the same time, the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) has created new opportunities to deliver practical decision support tools directly to end users in agriculture through compact and deployable systems. This work addresses (i) generating a structured insect information dataset to be used for LLM training, and (ii) adapting a lightweight LLM model (<= 7B) by fine tuning it for possible future edge device uses in agricultural pest management. The textual data collection was done by reviewing and collecting information from available pest databases and published manuscripts on nine selected pest species. These structured reports were then reviewed and validated by a domain expert. From these reports, we constructed question-answer (Q/A) pairs to support model training and evaluation. A LoRA-based fine-tuning approach was applied to multiple lightweight LLMs and evaluated. Initial evaluation shows that Mistral 7B achieves an 88.9% pass rate on the domain-specific Q/A task, substantially outperforming Qwen 2.5 7B (63.9%), and LLaMA 3.1 8B (58.7%). Notably, Mistral demonstrates higher semantic alignment (embedding similarity: 0.865) despite lower lexical overlap (BLEU: 0.097), indicating that semantic understanding and robust reasoning are more predictive of task success than surface-level conformity to reference text in specialized domains. By combining expert organized data, well structured Q/A pairs, semantic quality control, and efficient model adaptation, this work contributes towards providing support for farmer facing agricultural decision support tools and demonstrates the feasibility of deploying compact, high-performing language models for practical field-level pest management guidance.

Hypothermia Prevention In Major Trauma Patients, Alaina Hostetler

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Traumatic injuries present a significant health challenge for providers, often resulting in hypothermia, coagulopathy, and acidosis, referred to as the trauma triad of death. Hypothermia significantly impacts trauma patients' outcomes and exacerbates morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in trauma cases with high injury severity scores who require immediate surgical intervention. Despite the detrimental effects of hypothermia, evidence-based approaches to treating hypothermia in this population are lacking. Traditional warming methods heavily rely on provider preference and can lead to inconsistent care. Rapid, reliable, and effective resuscitation interventions are essential in the immediate care of major trauma patients. The proposed project will …

Subaltern Women, State Neglect, And Climate Precarity: Rethinking Forest Landscape Governance In Indonesia, Titiek Kartika Hendrastiti, Siti Kusujiarti

The Indonesian Journal of Socio-Legal Studies

This article examines the social positioning and struggles of subaltern women in East Java, Indonesia, within the intersecting conditions of state neglect and climate precarity in Forest Landscape Governance (FLG). Drawing on field research conducted between 2022 and 2023, it employs Postcolonial Feminist Political Ecology (PFPE) and Postcolonial Feminist Participatory Action Research (PFPAR) to analyze how governance regimes simultaneously depend upon yet marginalize women’s ecological labor. Based on field conversations, storytelling, focus group discussions, participatory drawing, and community dialogues in Banyuwangi and Trenggalek, the study shows that subaltern women remain largely invisible within formal governance frameworks, despite their central role …

Chemistry

The reaction of copper(II) perchlorate hexahydrate with 4-pyridone and pyrazine in 1-propanol serendipitously yielded crystals of the solvated title double salt, [Cu(C5H5NO)2(H2O)4][Cu2(ClO4)2(C5H5NO)4(H2O)2](ClO4)4·2C5H5NO, as a biproduct. The copper cations in both the monometallic complex and the dimeric species exhibit classic Jahn-Teller-like elongations. All coordinating 4-pyridone molecules are in the κ-O coordination mode. The dimeric component exhibits both bridging 4-pyridone and perchlorate ligands. Both complexes and the 4-pyridone molecules are bound together by a network of classical hydrogen bonds. The non-coordinating perchlorate ions were modeled as three-site disordered and one of the coordinating 4-pyridone molecules was modeled as two-site disordered. © 2026 …

Beyond The Badge: How Internal Culture Contradicts External Service In Urban Police Departments, Rowan Bari Eiselman

Educational Studies Student Papers and Posters

This ethnographic study examines how gendered workplace culture and mental health culture shape officer retention in two urban police departments: the Orange Police Department and the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th District. Through ride-alongs, observations, and informal interviews with nine current and retired officers (four female, five male) across various ranks conducted between March and April 2026, this research reveals a troubling contradiction: departments tasked with serving diverse communities struggle to support diversity within their own ranks. Female officers navigate professional isolation, prolonged competence-proving expectations, and implicit career-versus-motherhood choices, with experiences varying significantly between the more supportive Orange PD and …

Digressions Of Vision: Elihu Vedder’S Artistic Evolution, Stella Morris

Art and Art History

This thesis examines the artwork of prolific American artist Elihu Vedder (1836-1924), utilizing his eccentric yet comprehensive autobiography The Digressions of V (1910) as its grounding source. Despite enjoying a successful, sixty-year career, Vedder has posthumously sunk into relative obscurity in American art history. I postulate that Vedder’s artwork has been largely overlooked because of his breadth in style, creating an inability to classify his art within a single movement. Vedder drew upon the creative traditions of Romanticism, Aestheticism, Symbolism, and greatly admired the art and philosophy of the British Pre-Raphaelites. In addition to artistic variety, Vedder also lived most …
