Intelligent User Interface Guidance Using Model Context Generated Annotations, Praveen Nagarajan, Leena Shrirang Chunekar, Amey Dattatray Magar, Hari Kishan Srikonda, Rohan Arora

Defensive Publications Series

Today’s network controllers produce validation errors that tell users what went wrong, but not where or how to fix it.  The real problem is that the misconfiguration often exists in a completely different page or workflow.  Techniques described herein solve this problem. In particular, when validation fails, the error and the user interface’s semantic structure are sent to a Model-Context-Protocol (MCP)-based artificial intelligence (AI) service.  The AI reasons over the form, understands the intent of each control, and returns annotated HTML code that visually highlights the exact user interface (UI) element causing the issue.  Instead of guessing or searching documentation, …

Originalisms' Indifferences?: Friendly Amendments To Professor Girgis's "Originalism's Difference?", Jed Handelsman Shugerman

Florida Law Review

In this Essay, the author begins by summarizing their many areas of agreement with Girgis’s Dunwody Lecture, Originalism’s Difference?. Then they turn to each of Girgis’s three differences to ask a question and perhaps pose a critique. Has Girgis placed too much emphasis on “constraint”? Is “intensity” a virtue without sufficient care, balance, and open-mindedness, and perhaps a vice if it is a tendentiously intense control-f search? Is avoiding “palpable” moral reasoning a virtue if the Court is using historical evidence to cover for ideological motives and cognitive biases? This Essay turns to some of Girgis’s own examples of …

Does Good Originalism Need Good History?, Gary Lawson

Florida Law Review

One might think that originalism by definition is largely about history. After all, what does it mean to be “originalist” if not to be concerned primarily, if not exclusively, about the past? And if history is relevant, surely good history is better than bad history?

That seemingly obvious conclusion is not actually obvious. The role of good history, as with the role of any discipline—be it linguistics, epistemology, economics, classical studies, or political theory—depends on what questions one asks. And at least some forms of originalism ask questions for which the role of good history, as historians might define good …

Congressional Guesswork And The Separation Of Powers, Isaac Park

Florida Law Review

Before City of Boerne v. Flores, the Supreme Court construed Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment as an expansive grant of authority, affording Congress broad power to enact legislation enforcing its own interpretations of the Constitution. Under this regime, Congress enacted landmark civil rights statutes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Violence Against Women Act. In 1997, however, City of Boerne v. Flores sharply curtailed Congress’s power under Section Five—announcing (for the first time) that legislation contravening the Court’s prior pronouncements on the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment impermissibly intruded on the Supreme Court’s role as …

After Meat: Ruin, Decomposition, And The Epistemic Collapse Of Industrial Food Systems, Alexandra Kenefick

Dublin Gastronomy Symposium

The contemporary crisis of industrial meat is typically framed in environmental, ethical, or technological terms. This paper argues instead that the crisis is fundamentally epistemic, exposing the conceptual limits of modern food systems organized around abstraction, purification, efficiency, and control. Drawing on critical theories of modernity, political ecology, and design, it reframes meat not as food but as a designed industrial artefact. Through the lens of ruin, industrial breakdown is read as material disclosure, rendering visible the violences, dependencies, and exclusions that sustained modern abundance. Against technological solutionism and post-meat futurism, the paper develops decomposition as an alternative epistemic and …

Global Climate Change: Knowledge, Behaviors, And Attitudes Among College Students, Corey H. Basch, Helen Yousef, Grace C. Hillyer

CSU Journal of Sustainability and Climate Change

Purpose: Effective educational strategies addressing global climate change can prepare students to think critically and act accordingly on this pressing topic.

Methods: We conducted surveys among a sample of undergraduate college students in northern New Jersey in Spring 2024. Data collected included demographic characteristics, climate change information seeking, actual knowledge of climate change impact, emotions, attitudes, and beliefs around climate change, environmental concerns, and planned pro-environmental behaviors. Univariable analyses by level of self-reported knowledge and motivation to be environmentally conscious were conducted.

Results: Of 137 eligible students, 64.9% stated having high climate change knowledge. The mean actual knowledge score was …

Wealth Taxes Under The Constitution: An Originalist Analysis, David M. Schizer, Steven Gow Calabresi

Florida Law Review

A federal wealth tax is high on the wish list of progressives, but is it constitutional? This Article shows that under the original public meaning of the Constitution, a wealth tax is a “direct tax” that must be apportioned. This means that the percentage of revenue collected in each state must match its percentage of the population. For instance, if two states both have three percent of the population, each must provide three percent of the revenue. This leads to an unappealing outcome: if one state is less wealthy, it needs a higher tax rate to supply its share.

This Comment was on the importance of state constitutional conventions, and the author took advantage of the topic to explain why it so important to imagine a new national constitutional convention because of the patent problems of the United States Constitution.

How Constitutions Die, Richard Albert

Florida Law Review

There are three models of constitutional time in the world—each a shorthand for how and when constitutional life begins and ends: the grenade, the hourglass, and the sundial. In much of the world, the grenade model prevails. Under this model of constitutional time, the lifespan of a constitution is unpredictable: chaos reigns amid lawlessness, disorder, and even violence as shocks, internal or external, explode without warning to spark a constitutional refounding. By contrast, the hourglass model of constitutional time prioritizes rules, order, and transparency: political elites simply flip the hourglass in compliance with law to restart the constitutional clock and …

Predicting The Outcome Of Ischemic Hepatitis With Real-Patient Data Using Machine Learning Tools, Christiana Beard, Madison Utterback, Olcay Akman, Priya Kohli, William M. Lee, Aditi Ghosh

Spora: A Journal of Biomathematics

Ischemic hepatitis (IH) results from shock-related conditions that impair oxygenated blood flow to the liver, causing hepatocyte death. Diagnosis relies largely on clinical history due to the absence of specific diagnostic tests and limited ability to predict outcomes. This study applies machine learning methods to real-world IH patient data to improve outcome prediction. Biomedical indicators analyzed include creatinine, international normalized ratio (INR), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and bilirubin. Data were collected from multiple U.S. centers through the Acute Liver Failure Study Group (ALFSG), a multicenter network focused on this rare condition. We implemented logistic regression, regression tree methods …

Designing Truthful Mechanisms: A Study Of Voting And Matching Rules, Abhigyan Bose

Doctoral Theses

Mechanisms are formal procedures used in game theory and economics to aggregate individual preferences into collective outcomes in strategic settings with private information. A truthful or strategy-proof mechanism ensures that agents are best off reporting their true preferences, thereby eliminating incentives for manipulation. Such mechanisms are important for achieving fairness, efficiency, and simplicity in practical applications. In environments without monetary transfers, voting and matching rules are two central classes of mechanisms. Voting rules are typically used for public decision-making, while matching rules allocate private goods among individuals. This thesis studies strategy-proof voting and matching rules under different environments and restrictions …

Measuring Modulation Envelope Of A Pound Drever Hall Feedback Loop, Josh S. Lee

Physics and Astronomy Undergraduate Senior Theses

From improving qubit readout to real world medical technology, fast and ultrasensitive electrometry has many real world applications. The primary goal of the overarching project is to improve ultrasensitive charge detection using methods involving cavity-embedded Cooper pair transistor (cCPT) devices. This project hopes to accomplish this by using the gate-tunability of the cCPT to reduce the 1/f-noise, a type of low-frequency noise that can interfere with the cCPT’s measurement operability. By using a Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) feedback loop-inspired scheme that can adjust the cCPT gate, this project hopes to improve the stability of the cCPT’s resonant frequency against the 1/f-noise, in …

From Theory To Practice: Investigating Process Safety Skills Acquisition And Bridging The Industry Readiness Gap, Brittany Butler-Morton

Theses and Dissertations

Process safety management is vital to companies operating highly hazardous materials or processes, and it is of interest to the engineering community as poor process safety judgments can have catastrophic results. Process safety judgments consider more than the prioritization of safety, as they are often influenced by elements like production, spending, reputation, and time. As such, it’s important to prepare engineering students nearing graduation for the complexity of these judgments and narrow the Theory-to-Practice gap for students entering industry. This work sought to identify 1) how the Theory-to-Practice gap is manifesting in process safety judgments, and 2) how the application …

Increased Neural Activity In The Bed Nucleus Of The Stria Terminalis Of Uninfected Canaries After Observation Of Infected Conspecifics, Madeleine Chang, Sophia Santangelo, Devon Comito, Bennett Hardy, Patricia C. Lopes

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Recent evidence suggests that the immune system may be upregulated in anticipation of pathogen exposure, yet the neural mechanisms that respond to and signal impending infection risk remain poorly understood. We investigated neural responses to infection risk in uninfected hosts observing infected conspecifics, using the canary (Serinus canaria domestica)—Mycoplasma gallisepticum host–parasite system. We focused on five brain regions of interest, comprising three nodes of the social decision-making network—preoptic area, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and hippocampus—a stress modulatory region (paraventricular nucleus) and a visual processing region (nucleus rotundus). After 1 h of observing infected canaries, …

An Informationally Novel Sense Of Triviality For Harman’S Clutter Principle, Joseph D. Rasmussen

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Gilbert Harman (1986) argues that we ought not believe some logical consequences of our beliefs. To do this, he uses the Clutter Principle—that we should not clutter our minds with trivialities—and claims that some logical consequences are in some sense trivial. I show that interpreting Harman’s argument using an interest-driven sense of triviality (e.g. what Friedman calls junk) conflicts with a plausible epistemic norm. In light of this, epistemologists have turned the Clutter Principle into a norm on inquiry. This, however, loses the strength of the Clutter Principle in Harman’s argument. In this paper, I provide an alternate sense of …
