Ways Of Living And Knowing, Reem El Hassan Mohamed
Theses and Dissertations
After decades of sedentarization, the Muzeina tribe in South Sinai now has new generations born into sedentary lifestyles, never experiencing nomadism like their ancestors once did. This shift has impacted their knowledge system, traditionally shaped by interactions and kinship with nature. Exposure to social media is influencing younger generations' ways of living, raising the older generations’ concerns about their Bedouin identity. Despite being one of the largest tribes in South Sinai, the Muzeina are rarely represented in literature.
This ethnography explores the impact of sedentarization and contextual developments on the Muzeina's knowledge system, inherited from their ancestors. Muzeina’s relationship, and …

Finding Meaning In Loss: The Role Of Attachment Styles, Coping Strategies, And Resilience, Salma Seyam
Theses and Dissertations
Grief is a deeply personal yet universal experience impacted by personal, social, and cultural factors. The present study examines how attachment styles, coping mechanisms, and resilience impact both grief intensity and the ability to find meaning after a loss, within an Egyptian sample. While previous studies have explored the experience of grief, few have looked at these factors within a Middle Eastern cultural context. A total of 140 bereaved Egyptians who experienced the loss of a loved one within the past three years completed standardized measures assessing grief intensity (Prolonged Grief Disorder-Revised; PG-13-R), coping strategies (Brief COPE), meaning-making (Grief and …

Opportunistic Networks On The Move: A Context-Aware Framework For Opportunistic Networking Under Heterogeneous Mobility Settings, Sara Elsingergy
Theses and Dissertations
Most computer networks require continuous end-to-end connectivity between sending and destination nodes for data transfer. However, in certain scenarios—such as disaster zones, geographically remote areas with intermittent or no connectivity, or regions facing peak network loads—such continuous communication paths may be unavailable. A notable example of this challenge occurred during Hurricane Milton in 2024 and the Los Angeles wildfires in 2025, where Starlink provided free satellite internet to support disaster relief efforts and enable communication in affected areas. However, while offering satellite services at no cost can be effective in emergencies, it may not always be feasible on a global …

“Redefining The Fortress” Migrant Experiences, Adaptation And Connection Within Serbian Borderlands, Nicholas J. Leone
“Redefining The Fortress” Migrant Experiences, Adaptation And Connection Within Serbian Borderlands, Nicholas J. Leone
Theses and Dissertations
Abstract This thesis seeks to examine migrant experiences due to Serbia's geopolitical significance along the so-called Balkan route, and how this is specifically exemplified in the northern autonomous region of Vojvodina. Serbia’s position outside the external border of the European Union has caused it to be a strategic transit point for migrants en route to desired destinations, typically within Western and Northern Europe. However, the European Union’s externalization policies in partnership with Serbian authorities have played an extensive role in migration mobility patterns and humanitarian conditions for migrants traversing within the Serbian borderlands, specifically along the border with Hungary. The …

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of deaths related to cancer. It is a highly aggressive malignancy and often metastasizes quickly to other parts of the body and organs. The most effective cure is surgical resection, which also is limited by tumor identification and clear tumor margin visualization. Previously, we used MUC4 antibodies labeled with IRDye800CW (anti-MUC4-IR800) to target primary human pancreatic cancer in orthotopic cell line mouse models.
METHODS: In the present study, we established a pancreatic cancer liver metastasis mouse model by implanting a tumor fragment in the liver and a peritoneal carcinomatosis mouse model by …

Background
The effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) stroke patients with occlusion of the second segment of the middle cerebral artery (M2) is unclear.
Methods
This was a multicenter retrospective study. Patients with M1 or M2 occlusions and low ASPECTS (< 6) who underwent successful EVT (modified treatment in cerebral ischemia score of 2b or higher) were included. Primary outcome was futile EVT reperfusion (defined as 90-day modified Rankin scale of 5 or 6). Other outcomes of interest include acceptable outcomes (modified Rankin scale of 3 or less) and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and all-cause 90-day mortality. Outcomes for M1 patients were compared to M2 patients with multivariable logistic regression models accounting for potential confounders.
Results
173 patients with M1 or M2 occlusions and low ASPECTS (< 6) who underwent successful EVT were identified. After multivariable adjustments, M2 patients had significantly higher odds of futile reperfusion (OR 5.48 [95%CI 1.91 to 15.7], p = 0.002), lower odds of acceptable outcomes (OR 0.33 [95%CI 0.12 to 0.89], p = 0.028), and higher odds of all-cause mortality (OR 4.90 [95%CI 1.65 to 14.5], p = 0.004). These findings suggest that EVT's efficacy for low-ASPECTS stroke patients may be diminished for patients with M2 occlusions. M2 occlusion was not significantly associated with ICH.
Conclusions
Among low-ASEPCTS stroke patients who underwent successful EVT, those with M2 occlusions had significantly higher odds of poor outcome compared to those with M1 occlusions.

The brain's endocannabinoid signaling system modulates a diverse range of physiological phenomena and is also involved in various psychiatric and neurological disorders. The basic components of the molecular machinery underlying endocannabinoid-mediated synaptic signaling have been known for decades. However, limitations associated with the short-lived nature of endocannabinoid lipid signals had made it challenging to determine the spatiotemporal specificity and dynamics of endocannabinoid signaling in vivo. Here, we discuss how novel technologies have recently enabled unprecedented insights into endocannabinoid signaling taking place at specific synapses in behaving animals. In this review, we primarily focus on cannabinoid-sensitive inhibition in the hippocampus in …

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) responds poorly to conventional treatments and immunotherapy. We previously developed a binary oncolytic/helper-dependent adenovirus system (CAdTrio) that facilitated oncolysis and expressed the immunomodulatory molecule interleukin-12 and a programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) blocking mini-antibody. Given that CAdTrio enhanced endogenous natural killer (NK) cell anti-tumor activity in humanized mice bearing PDAC tumors and that NK cells can be adoptively transferred to patients safely in the allogeneic setting, we hypothesized that a combination of CAdTrio and allogeneic NK cells expressing a HER2-specific chimeric antigen receptor (HER2.CAR-NK) would be an effective, entirely “off-the-shelf” treatment against …

School of Medicine Faculty Publications
BACKGROUND: The posterior incisura is a deep and surgically challenging area with complex neurovasculature. Endoscopic paramedian supracerebellar infratentorial approaches (EPSCITAs) have improved access and visualization of this region. However, endoscope and instrument conflict within this deep and narrow corridor remains a key limitation. This study evaluates the feasibility of a combined EPSCITA and endoscopic occipital interhemispheric transtentorial approach (EOIHTTA) with the aim of improving surgical freedom and visualization in this region. METHODS: Five embalmed and latex-injected cadaveric donors were dissected bilaterally (10 sides total). Measurements were taken at the EPSCITA port and then were repeated after addition of the EOIHTTA …

Graph-Based Ai Compiler, Rhodes Floyd Davis Jr.
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure describes compiler-based techniques of automatic code generation using large language models (LLMs). In contrast to traditional LLM-based code generation, which uses context windows of limited lengths and which stores context globally and not on a per-file basis, the described techniques leverage the graph structure of the codebase to store context. A node of the graph is collapsed to code when all its dependencies are collapsed as well. A prompt is converted to code by collapsing each node to code.
