Hybrid Neural Network Model Defenses, Eric Yocam Mar 2026

Hybrid Neural Network Model Defenses, Eric Yocam

Dissertations

Hybrid neural networks (HNNs), which integrate classical convolutional neural networks with quantum circuit components, are highly vulnerable to white-box targeted compound (WTC) adversarial attacks. Previous research has primarily evaluated defenses against single-method attacks, leaving a critical gap in understanding defense effectiveness against compound attacks that combine multiple perturbation strategies. This research study systematically evaluates defense mechanisms against WTC adversarial attacks on HNN models across 120 experimental conditions. Three defense categories are investigated: test-time defenses (input transformation and randomization, applied during inference without retraining) and training-time defense (adversarial training, requiring model retraining). Evaluation uses four datasets (MNIST, EMNIST "Digits", TinyImageNet, TrafficSigns) …

Conics Through Inequivalent 5-Arcs In Pg(2, 32), Zainab Abbas Khalaf, Emad Bakr Al-Zangana Mar 2026

Conics Through Inequivalent 5-Arcs In Pg(2, 32), Zainab Abbas Khalaf, Emad Bakr Al-Zangana

Baghdad Science Journal

A k-arcs is usually defined to be a set of k points in the projective plane such that some lines meets K in two points. A conic is an irreducible plane quadric curve with six terms. The first aim of the paper is to find the projectively inequivalent 5-arcs and 6-arcs in the finite projective plane over the Galois field of order two, and find the subgroups of PGL( 3,32 ) that are fixing these arcs. The second aim is to determine the conics form that passes through these 5-arcs and 6-arcs, and then parameterized. As an application to our …

Implementing A Secure Rpl Routing Protocol For Iot Networks Using Lightweight Authentication Technique, Hussein A. Nassrullah, Zainab T. Alisa

Baghdad Science Journal

The use of Internet of Things (IoT) networks is increasing daily both in terms of the number of active IoT devices and the number of sectors and applications using IoT technologies. This widespread deployment increases the importance of protecting these networks and secure their data from theft or manipulation. The IoT routing protocol (RPL) is the primary protocol used in resource constrained IoT networks. However, this protocol contains a number of security vulnerabilities that practically restrict its use in many sensitive applications. This research proposes a lightweight secure operating mode for the RPL protocol called Lightweight Security Mode RPL (LSM-RPL) …

Implementing A Problem-Solving Framework In Physics Tutorials For Upper-Division Electricity And Magnetism Students, James C. Hecht Mar 2026

Implementing A Problem-Solving Framework In Physics Tutorials For Upper-Division Electricity And Magnetism Students, James C. Hecht

Undergraduate Honors Theses

We study the effects of implementing a problem-solving framework in tutorials intended for use in upper-division electricity and magnetism courses. These tutorials were integrated into an electricity and magnetism course in Fall 2024, and were compared alongside a set of tutorials on the same topics which did not include the problem-solving framework. We performed a mixed-methods analysis on exam scores, interviews, and survey responses from students who were in the class. Students seem to prefer the tutorials that implement the problem-solving framework, and these tutorials seem to assist students with conceptual understanding somewhat; however, the qualitative data on conceptual understanding …

First-Order Axial Perturbation Of The Reissner–Nordström Metric Against A Possible Parity-Violating Gravity Background, Abhishek Rout, Brett David Altschul Mar 2026

First-Order Axial Perturbation Of The Reissner–Nordström Metric Against A Possible Parity-Violating Gravity Background, Abhishek Rout, Brett David Altschul

Faculty Publications

We study axial perturbations of Reissner–Nordström black holes within the general frame-work of parity-violating modified gravity theories. We derive the governing equations for a class of frame-dragging perturbations, focusing on the symmetry structure and radial dependence of the perturbed metric component, describing its behavior across three distinct regions: near the singularity (r → 0), between the inner and outer Reissner–Nordström horizons (r− < r < r+), and in the asymptotic exterior regime (r → ∞). Using a combination of analytical and numerical methods, we analyze the solutions for varying black hole charge-to-mass ratios (Q/M) and angular momentum parameters (l). Key findings include the suppression of perturbations by the electromagnetic field for higher Q/M; the emergence of radial resonance-like behavior for specific l values; and a high degree of symmetry for solutions in the extremal limit (Q/M ∼ 1), attributed to the AdS2 × S 2 near-horizon geometry. The WKB approximation is employed to study the high-l regime, revealing quantized radial resonance modes and singular behavior in the extremal limit. Additionally, we explore the role of boundary conditions and the possibility of a Chern–Simons field Θ as the source of the parity violation, showing that consistency and the behavior of the perturbations under time reversal demand a constant field (and thus no actually observable Chern–Simons effects) at leading order. These results provide a basis for further analysis of the stability and dynamical properties of charged black holes in parity-violating theories, with potential experimental signatures in gravitational wave observations.

The Politics Of Exposure: How Local Israeli Violence Affects Palestinian Public Opinion, Noah Passey Mar 2026

The Politics Of Exposure: How Local Israeli Violence Affects Palestinian Public Opinion, Noah Passey

Undergraduate Honors Theses

International violence has been connected to domestic public opinion in a variety of ways. Most of the research on this topic focuses on large-scale events like war and ignores smaller events like airstrikes, border conflicts, and police action. This thesis examines small-scale, individual-level violence in Palestine and what impact this violence has on Palestinian public opinions. It uses data on Palestinian casualties to specifically examine the effects of violence perpetrated by Israel in the period 2000-2016—a period marked by frequent conflict short of all-out war. Through multilevel regression analysis, I find that this low-level violence does influence Palestinian public opinion, …

Scarcity Rewritten: Revenue Tracking As A Catalyst For Growth Mindset And Financial Control, Christian M. Pearson Mar 2026

Scarcity Rewritten: Revenue Tracking As A Catalyst For Growth Mindset And Financial Control, Christian M. Pearson

Undergraduate Honors Theses

While revenue tracking is a widely recognized “best practice” for businesses in developed economies, it is far from a universal practice. In Cambodia and other emerging markets, many small business owners do not track revenue or expenses, which may limit their ability to make sound financial decisions and reinforce psychological responses consistent with chronic resource scarcity. This article examines the effects of a business support intervention in which Cambodian business owners participated in an 8-week program designed to help them calculate profits by tracking revenue, variable costs, and fixed costs. Findings from a randomized field experiment show that business owners …

Generative Models And Synthetic Data In Clinical Prediction Models, Anthony A. Mangino, Taha Ahmed, Vincent L. Sorrell Mar 2026

Generative Models And Synthetic Data In Clinical Prediction Models, Anthony A. Mangino, Taha Ahmed, Vincent L. Sorrell

Radiology Faculty Publications

Introduction: Reproducibility, consistency, and transparency are essential to responsible and ethical scientific inquiry, though practices supporting these qualities are often neglected. However, in many cases data are confidential or otherwise unable to be shared publicly. This tutorial describes a method utilizing generative adversarial networks (GANs) to create synthetic data that are sufficiently similar to the original dataset in such cases where the source data cannot be shared or where the source data are too sparse as to internally validate results. Methods: Utilizing an exemplar study that aimed to create a clinical prediction model employing a novel echocardiographic measurement to differentiate …
