How Often Do Managers Withhold Information?, Jeremy Bertomeu, Paul Ma, Ivan Marinovic Sep 2026

How Often Do Managers Withhold Information?, Jeremy Bertomeu, Paul Ma, Ivan Marinovic

Olin Business School Faculty Research

We estimate a dynamic model of voluntary disclosure, using annual management forecasts of earnings, that features a manager with pri ce motives and an uncertain but persistent information endowment. Our estimates imply that: (i) managers face disclosure frictions 35% of the time; (ii) conditional on being informed, managers withhold information 17% of the time; and ( iii) conditional on being silent, managers possess information 24% of the time. Managers’ strategic withholding motives increase investors’ uncertainty about earnings by 3%. We find that managers’ price motives reduce strategic withholding by one-third, in response to investors’ increased skepticism in the event of …


715 St. Marks Tenant Assn. V. M&M Crown Realty, Llc Sep 2026

715 St. Marks Tenant Assn. V. M&M Crown Realty, Llc

All Decisions

HP case—tenants (35 rent-stabilized residents) establish ample need under CPLR 408 for narrowly tailored discovery. Seven interrogatories and ten documentary demands regarding elevator and boiler installation and maintenance are outside petitioners' custody or control. DOB and HPD violation records are insufficient alone: agency inspections measure operationality on a single visit and do not capture sporadic recurring outages or systemic failures indicating a need for replacement, as alleged. Respondents bear minimal burden; no possession-recovery urgency in HP enforcement proceedings.


Stochastic Invasion Thresholds For Transmission-Blocking Symbionts And Malaria Control Under Environmental Noise, Steeven Belvinos Affognon, Philip Ngare, Henri E.Z. Tonnang, Benard Kipchumba Kiplangat, Shirley Abelman, Jeremy K. Herren Sep 2026

Stochastic Invasion Thresholds For Transmission-Blocking Symbionts And Malaria Control Under Environmental Noise, Steeven Belvinos Affognon, Philip Ngare, Henri E.Z. Tonnang, Benard Kipchumba Kiplangat, Shirley Abelman, Jeremy K. Herren

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Introduction – Transmission-blocking symbionts may complement existing malaria vector-control tools, but their public-health value depends on two linked conditions: ecological establishment in mosquito populations and long-run prevalence high enough to suppress malaria transmission. Methods – Motivated by Microsporidia MB in Anopheles mosquitoes, we developed a scale-free stochastic differential-equation model for uninfected and symbiont-infected adult female mosquitoes with density-dependent recruitment, vertical transmission, mating-mediated horizontal conversion, and multiplicative environmental noise. We derived a rare-symbiont stochastic invasion index, analyzed extinction and invasion thresholds, used Malliavin-Hörmander analysis to characterize inter-class noise transfer, and linked stationary symbiont prevalence to an effective Ross-Macdonald malaria reproduction number. …


A Realist Review Of The Remediation Of Professionalism Lapses In Undergraduate Medical Students (Restore 3), Ross Raymond-Jones, Tom Gale, Nicola Brennan, Marie Bryce, Tristan Price Sep 2026

A Realist Review Of The Remediation Of Professionalism Lapses In Undergraduate Medical Students (Restore 3), Ross Raymond-Jones, Tom Gale, Nicola Brennan, Marie Bryce, Tristan Price

Peninsula Medical School

IntroductionProfessionalism is a core element of medical curricula worldwide and remains a cross-cutting theme across all aspects of a medical programme. When a medical student fails to demonstrate the expected attributes and behaviours, medical schools have a duty to step in, and where appropriate, offer remediation that aims to facilitate behavioural change. There is sparse explanatory theory on this complex topic, resulting in little evidence-based guidance for medical schools to utilise. This review aims to explain how, why, to what extent and in what circumstances professionalism remediation works for undergraduate medical students.MethodWe conducted a realist review that aligns with the …


Incidental Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma Discovered After Ileocecectomy For Recurrent Small Bowel Obstruction: A Case Report, Aron Bhachawat, Heenal Marfatia, Suneetha Chintalapati, Kelly Winter Sep 2026

Incidental Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma Discovered After Ileocecectomy For Recurrent Small Bowel Obstruction: A Case Report, Aron Bhachawat, Heenal Marfatia, Suneetha Chintalapati, Kelly Winter

Student Publications

We report a case of moderately differentiated appendiceal adenocarcinoma discovered on histopathologic examination following ileocecectomy for recurrent SBO in a woman in her early 50s with a history of stage III rectal adenocarcinoma in remission. Notably, serial surveillance imaging over two years had demonstrated a radiographically normal appendix prior to the obstructive presentation. Immunohistochemical and histopathologic features confirmed a metachronous primary malignancy rather than metastatic recurrence. This case exemplifies the diagnostic challenge posed by occult appendiceal neoplasms, the importance of meticulous histopathologic evaluation of all resected specimens, and the need to consider rare malignant etiologies in patients with recurrent bowel …


Development Of Fluorescent And Affinity Tagged Variants Of Rotavirus Nonstructural Protein 4 Using The Reverse Genetics System., Ethan M Huleatt, Abby L Lipinski, Jacob L Perry, Sue E Crawford, Mary K Estes, Joseph M Hyser Sep 2026

Development Of Fluorescent And Affinity Tagged Variants Of Rotavirus Nonstructural Protein 4 Using The Reverse Genetics System., Ethan M Huleatt, Abby L Lipinski, Jacob L Perry, Sue E Crawford, Mary K Estes, Joseph M Hyser

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Rotavirus (RV) nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is a multifunctional viroporin and enterotoxin that also serves an essential structural role in virion assembly, making it both a central virulence factor and a potential therapeutic target. However, studying NSP4 within infectious virus has been hindered by essential RNA packaging signals at the 5' end of gene segment 10 (gs10) and an DLP-binding domain at its C-terminus, both of which constrain conventional mutagenesis. Using a plasmid-based reverse genetics system, we generated six recombinant rotaviruses (rRVs) encoding tagged or reporter-fused NSP4 via three strategies: expression from an alternative segment (gs7) in a bicistronic arrangement, …


Characterization Of An Open-Channel Structure And Lateral Conduction Pathway In The Cation-Selective Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel, Elic, Mark J Arcario, Elizabeth J Wu-Chen, Yuna Shim, Jérôme Hénin, Grace Brannigan, Wayland W L Cheng Sep 2026

Characterization Of An Open-Channel Structure And Lateral Conduction Pathway In The Cation-Selective Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel, Elic, Mark J Arcario, Elizabeth J Wu-Chen, Yuna Shim, Jérôme Hénin, Grace Brannigan, Wayland W L Cheng

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Open-channel structures of multiple pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) have been determined, including the prokaryotic model pLGIC, Erwinia ligand-gated ion channel (ELIC). For many of these structures, it remains uncertain whether they represent a physiologic open-channel state because the conditions used for structure determination do not match those of functional measurements in cell membranes. Here, MD simulation is used to examine the ion conduction properties of the ELIC open-channel structure, which was determined using a non-desensitizing mutant called ELIC5. Results from simulations show that the pore remains stably open on the microsecond timescale, but computational electrophysiology measurements demonstrate a large …


The Evolution Of Reliability Methods For Nondestructive Evaluation (Nde): From Probability Of Detection (Pod) Conception To Contemporary Practices, Christine E. Knott, Jennifer Brown, John Aldrin, Christine M. Schubert Kabban Sep 2026

The Evolution Of Reliability Methods For Nondestructive Evaluation (Nde): From Probability Of Detection (Pod) Conception To Contemporary Practices, Christine E. Knott, Jennifer Brown, John Aldrin, Christine M. Schubert Kabban

Faculty Publications

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods are powerful tools for detecting and characterizing flaws in structural components, but their reliability must be evaluated before they can be used in critical applications. For more than 50 years, probabilistic and statistical methods have been used effectively to estimate reliability by describing an NDE system’s Probability of Detection (POD) for flaws of realistic sizes. The POD methods used by the USAF and NASA, like Hit/Miss, Signal-Response (â vs. a), and Point Estimate method (PEM, a.k.a. 29/29) have evolved, alongside newer approaches like Limited Sample POD (LS-POD) method, and Model Assisted Probability of Detection …


Repeatability And Behavioral Relationships Of Acuity, Contrast Sensitivity, Form, And Motion Perception Measurements Using A Novel Tablet-Based Vision Test Tool, Jonathan Green, Jan Skerswetat, Peter J. Bex, Gunnar Schmidtmann Sep 2026

Repeatability And Behavioral Relationships Of Acuity, Contrast Sensitivity, Form, And Motion Perception Measurements Using A Novel Tablet-Based Vision Test Tool, Jonathan Green, Jan Skerswetat, Peter J. Bex, Gunnar Schmidtmann

School of Health Professions

Visual function tests are essential in basic and clinical vision research but are typically restricted to a limited range of visual functions and provide coarse diagnostic resolution. The response-adaptive Angular Indication Measurement (AIM) and Foraging Interactive D-prime (FInD) paradigms were recently developed as generalizable approaches for assessing multiple visual functions. Both methods present 4 × 4 stimulus arrays spanning ± 2σ around an adaptively estimated threshold. This study evaluated the repeatability, test duration, and relationships between AIM and FInD measures of near visual acuity (VA), contrast sensitivity function (CSF), and form and motion coherence using tablet-based vision tests. 38 healthy …

Evaluation Of The Association Between School Prevention Programs And Adolescents’ Opioid Abuse In The United States, Lida Moazezi

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This study examined adolescent opioid misuse in the United States and the role of school-based prevention. Guided by the health belief model, the purpose was to test whether participation in school-based drug prevention lessons was associated with past-year opioid misuse among adolescents ages 14–17 and whether race and gender moderated that association. This quantitative, cross-sectional, nonexperimental secondary analysis used the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N = 8,965). Analyses included weighted descriptives, chi-square tests, and complex-samples logistic regression controlling for age and socioeconomic status. The sample included adolescents ages 14–17 with complete data on school-based prevention participation, …


The Utilization Of Augmented Reality Haptic Feedback For Simulation-Based Education: A Quality Improvement Project, Arielle Kayla Vargas, Yasmine N. Campbell, Valerie J. Diaz Sep 2026

The Utilization Of Augmented Reality Haptic Feedback For Simulation-Based Education: A Quality Improvement Project, Arielle Kayla Vargas, Yasmine N. Campbell, Valerie J. Diaz

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Background: Central line placement (CLP) is a critical skill for nurse anesthesiology residents, yet proficiency gaps can lead to serious complications, including arterial puncture, hematoma, and pneumothorax. Although ultrasound guidance is the current standard for teaching this procedure, it lacks tactile feedback, which limits learners’ spatial awareness and control—both essential for accurate needle tip tracking (NTT). This shortcoming in traditional simulation-based education (SBE) contributes to inconsistent skill acquisition and potential patient harm. . This project aimed to determine whether, among nurse anesthesiology residents, the use of AR haptic feedback versus ultrasound-guided methods in SBE would improve success in needle tip …

Machine Learning In Pediatric Surgery: Validation For Ambulatory Screening, Mary Beth Bass, Jill Kinch, Kimberly Isenberg Sep 2026

Machine Learning In Pediatric Surgery: Validation For Ambulatory Screening, Mary Beth Bass, Jill Kinch, Kimberly Isenberg

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Accurate screening for anesthesia eligibility criteria is crucial for pediatric ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) to ensure patient safety and optimization of resources [1,3]. Traditional manual chart review by advanced practice providers (APPs) is labor-intensive and subject to variability [2, 3, 7]. Continued growth of the ASC patient volume creates challenges for the APP team to meet the patient safety needs without adding additional support. To address these challenges, we partnered with Brim Analytics (Brim), an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered chart review tool built on a large language model. Brim interprets unstructured electronic medical record (EMR) data and applies our institutional …

From Himalayan Catastrophe To National Resilience: Lessons From The 2026 Bhote Koshi And Trishuli River Floods In Nepal, Keshav Bhattarai, Ambika P. Adhikari

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

On the morning of 26 August 2026, the mountains above Nepal’s northern frontier delivered a disaster of almost unimaginable speed and scale. A massive mass of ice, rock, and sediment detached in the high Himalayan terrain near the Nepal–Tibet border, descended roughly 1,200 metres, interacted with the Lhende Khola system, and generated a debris-rich flood that surged through the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river corridors, destroying settlements, markets, roads, bridges, hydropower facilities, and an international border crossing and transforming them into fields of mud, boulders, and wreckage within minutes (ICIMOD, 2026b; Reuters, 2026a). Satellite analysis indicates that a substantial section …


Fast Computation And Model Order Reduction Of The Friction Stir Welding Process With Pod-Deim, Joshua Kay, Zilong Song Sep 2026

Fast Computation And Model Order Reduction Of The Friction Stir Welding Process With Pod-Deim, Joshua Kay, Zilong Song

Mathematics and Statistics Student Research and Class Projects

Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state manufacturing process widely used in joining aluminum and other metal workpieces. The FSW process can be modeled by a coupled system of non-Newtonian Navier–Stokes and heat-transfer equations. However, solving this non-linear system with high accuracy requires significant computational power. This work refines the system by introducing corrected coefficients and new treatments for boundary conditions near the tool. Then, model order reduction, including the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM), is applied to efficiently solve the FSW system in a low-dimensional space. To enhance accuracy and effectiveness, two novel treatments …

From Principle(Al) To Practice: The Child As A Datafied Digital Citizen In India’S Digital Public Infrastructure, Aditi Pillai

Indian Journal of Law and Technology

This paper extends global scholarship on datafication and children’s digital citizenship to the context of India’s expanding Digital Public Infrastructure (‘DPI’). It examines how institutional data infrastructures profile and socially construct the child as both a data principal and a digital citizen. Drawing on an interdisciplinary Interpretive Policy Analysis (‘IPA’) framework, the study captures the perspectives of institutional actors and caregivers, who constitute key intermediaries in processes of institutional datafication. First, expert interviews with specialists across law, data governance and children’s rights are used to interrogate the legal and policy artefacts that define the “child” within India’s DPI ecosystem. Second, …

More Than A Call: Why The Martha Wright-Reed Act Falls Short In Reforming Prison Communication, Carrington Wilkes Sep 2026

More Than A Call: Why The Martha Wright-Reed Act Falls Short In Reforming Prison Communication, Carrington Wilkes

Georgia Criminal Law Review

In response to widespread criticism of exploitative prison communication costs, Congress enacted the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2022 (the “Act”). This legislation tasked the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) with establishing fair rates for phone and video calls made by inmates in jails, prisons, and immigration detention centers. While the Act marks a critical step in reducing financial burdens on incarcerated individuals and their families, it does not cover other widely used communication methods, such as electronic messaging, emails, and tablet-based platforms. These newer services remain largely unregulated, enabling private companies to impose excessive fees due to …


Officer-Created Jeopardy In Corrections: Rethinking Use-Of-Force Review After Barnes V. Felix, Dr. Hayden Smith Sep 2026

Officer-Created Jeopardy In Corrections: Rethinking Use-Of-Force Review After Barnes V. Felix, Dr. Hayden Smith

Georgia Criminal Law Review

Courts typically evaluate correctional uses of force by zooming in on the last seconds before impact, asking what an officer reasonably perceived at the “moment of threat.” That frame obscures a basic feature of jail and prison operations: officers’ pre-force tactical choices often create or sharply heighten the risks that force is later used to manage. Building on Barnes v. Felix’s rejection of a rigid moment-of-threat rule and the broader state-created-danger line, this Article argues that officer-created jeopardy should be treated as a central component of constitutional and institutional review in corrections. It shows how Barnes, read alongside DeShaney, Kingsley, …

Immigrant Women’S Experiences Of Living In An Abusive Relationship: A Narrative Inquiry, Fay M. Dastjerdi, Sassan Issari, Zipora Rahmanov, Elizabeth Sombilon

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Immigration has become a reality in most parts of the world for different reasons. Iranian immigrants ranked sixth in acquiring Canadian citizenship and eighth in being admitted as permanent residents (Bains, 2024; Risdon, 2024). Most immigrants experience some degree of loss and disassociation after being dislocated. Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) impacts people of all genders, ages and socioeconomic, racial, educational, ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds; however,women experience this form of gender-based violence at much higher rates, most often perpetrated by men (Statistics Canada, 2023 & 2025). IPV presents a significant public health challenge affecting diverse demographic groups, including immigrant women …


From Retrieval To Generation: Building And Evaluating An Ai Accompanist For Piano Duets With An Anticipatory Music Transformer, Sai Ruthvik Uppala Sep 2026

From Retrieval To Generation: Building And Evaluating An Ai Accompanist For Piano Duets With An Anticipatory Music Transformer, Sai Ruthvik Uppala

Masters Theses

Systems that accompany a live musician, such as ACCompanion, work by retrieval: they hold a written accompaniment and stretch its timing to follow the soloist, so they can only accompany music whose second part already exists as a score. This thesis asks whether that second part can instead be generated, and specifically whether a machine learning model can write an accompaniment for a piece whose score it has never seen. A player performs the primo, the melody; a model produces the secondo, the accompaniment; and a score follower places the generated notes against the live performance. If this works, a …
