Identical Vanishing Of Coefficients In The Series Expansion Of Eta Quotients, Modulo 4, 9 And 25, Tim Huber, James Mclaughlin, Dongxi Ye

School of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences Faculty Publications

Let A(q)=:∑∞n=0anqn and B(q)=:∑∞n=0bnqn be two eta quotients. In some previous papers, the present authors considered the problem of when

an=0⟺bn=0.

In the present paper we consider the “mod m” version of this problem, i.e. for which eta quotients A(q) and B(q) and for which integers m>1 do we have (non-trivially) that

an≡0(modm)⟺bn≡0(modm)?

(We say “non-trivially” as there are trivial situations where an≡bn(modm) for all n≥0). The m for which we found non-trivial (in the sense just mentioned) results were m=p2, p=2,3 and 5. For m=4 and m=9, we found results which …

Coherent Content Sequencing Via Semantic Embeddings And Beam Search, Sharbani Pandit, Vijai Kasthuri Rangan, David Solis, Maximilian Weiss Feb 2026

Coherent Content Sequencing Via Semantic Embeddings And Beam Search, Sharbani Pandit, Vijai Kasthuri Rangan, David Solis, Maximilian Weiss

Defensive Publications Series

A challenge in digital content personalization can be sequencing multiple content components in a manner that is relevant to user intent and internally coherent. Existing methods may result in disjointed user experiences or introduce undesirable latency. A described system may address this by representing user intent and discrete content units as semantic embeddings in a vector space. A search algorithm, such as a beam search, can then iteratively construct and score candidate sequences of these units based on their collective semantic relevance to the user's intent, while also incorporating diversity constraints to help reduce redundancy. This process can facilitate the …

AUIQ Technical Engineering Science

Early detection of dementia remains a pressing challenge in clinical neuroscience, as delayed diagnosis limits therapeutic impact and healthcare planning. Leveraging the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) cross-sectional dataset of 436 participants, this study developed a robust machine learning pipeline integrating sociodemographic, clinical, and neuroimaging-derived features. Preprocessing included removal of highly sparse variables (Delay), median imputation of partially missing but clinically essential measures (SES, MMSE, CDR, Educ), Winsorization of extreme values, and skewness correction. The target Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) was binarized (0 = no dementia, ≥ 0.5 = dementia) to align with clinically actionable screening. Categorical features …

Organizations often face challenges in integrating location data from multiple, siloed platforms—each with its own structure and format.  For example, different space management tools build device hierarchies with varying formats and levels of granularity, creating fundamental incompatibility between solutions.  Organizations often label their sites differently based on their products, making it difficult to identify duplicates and overlaps as there is no common identifier for a given site or location.  Moreover, organizations may need to perform extensive manual validations to ensure optimal integration with space management tools.  The additional layer of verification adds complexity and increases the risk of configuration errors …

"ALLFROMAIR®: Atmospheric Water Harvesting through Electrodynamic Physisorption and Vibration-Induced Desorption"

Technical Abstract:

Building on research and development initiated in 2016-2017, this publication details a novel methodology for the extraction of liquid-phase water from atmospheric vapor using molecular dielectrophoresis (DEP).

This publication details a novel methodology for the extraction of liquid-phase water from atmospheric vapor using molecular dielectrophoresis (DEP). Unlike state-of-the-art systems that require pre-existing liquid aerosols (fog) or sensible cooling of air masses, this technology utilizes a non-uniform electric field gradient (\nabla |E|^2) to directly attract neutral but dipolar water molecules in the gas phase. By integrating the Modified Kelvin-Thomson …

PS is highly susceptible to UV-induced photodegradation, which results in deterioration of its mechanical and aesthetic properties. In the present study, four novel and highly aromatic levofloxacin metal complexes, synthesized from Zn, Sn, Cu, and Ni, were investigated as low-concentration (0.5% w/w) photostabilizer additives for PS. Composite films were prepared by solution casting and subjected to accelerated UV irradiation up to 300 hours. Photostabilizing performance was systematically followed by monitoring changes in the carbonyl index via FT-IR spectroscopy, mass loss measurements, and surface morphology analyses using SEM and AFM. Results showed that all levofloxacin metal complexes had a pronounced inhibition …

A Conceptualization Of The Teaching Practice Of Building, Shari L. Stockero, Blake E. Peterson, Keith R. Leatham, Laura R. Van Zoest Feb 2026

A Conceptualization Of The Teaching Practice Of Building, Shari L. Stockero, Blake E. Peterson, Keith R. Leatham, Laura R. Van Zoest

Michigan Tech Publications

In this theoretical paper, we present a conceptualization of the teaching practice of building—a teaching practice that takes advantage of high-leverage student contributions we call Mathematical Opportunities in Student Thinking (MOSTs). Specifying this complex teaching practice is important because it provides the detail needed for mathematics education researchers to study the nuances of teachers’ in-the-moment use of student thinking and for mathematics teacher educators to support teachers in developing such use. We describe key aspects and teacher actions associated with the four elements of building: Establish, Grapple Toss, Conduct, and Make Explicit. Throughout the paper we compare and contrast this …


Deception And Deception Mitigation In Multi-Agent Systems, Nancirose Piazza Feb 2026

Deception And Deception Mitigation In Multi-Agent Systems, Nancirose Piazza

Doctoral Works at the University of New Haven

In multi-agent learning systems where agents interact in dynamic and complex environments, cooperation, coordination and communication are fundamental to achieving collective or individual goals. However, the rise of both emergent and induced deceptive behaviors pose significant challenges to system integrity and performance. Emergent deception and deceptive behaviors may manifest as a result of objective misalignment or incomplete situational awareness, leading to systematic failure in coordination. Agents that engage in intentional deceptive behaviors manipulate outcomes for their self-interest, undermining the fairness, security and reliability of these systems. Modeling and mitigating these forms of deception is critical to not only ensure effective …

Estimating ecological flows (EFs) in rivers is crucial for meeting the Water Framework  Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC goals. To develop an EF model, it is  essential to use biological indicators to reliably record the impacts of human-induced  alterations on aquatic ecosystems. The adaptability of fish to annual flow variability  makes them a significant biological quality element (BQE). Consequently, using fish  as bioindicators is a powerful tool for assessing the impact of changes in the  hydrological regime on the natural communities within a river system. The new index  of the ecological status of fish communities (NISECI) is a methodology developed in  Italy …

Vibrations from experimental setups and the environment are a persistent source of noise for low-temperature calorimeters searching for rare events, including neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay or dark matter interactions. Such noise can significantly limit experimental sensitivity to the physics case under investigation. Here, we report the detection of marine microseismic vibrations using mK-scale calorimeters. This study employs a multi-device analysis correlating data from CUORE, the leading experiment in the search for 0νββ decay with mK-scale calorimeters, and the Copernicus Earth Observation program, revealing the seasonal impact of Mediterranean Sea activity on CUORE’s …


Teachers' Experiences Implementing Play-Based Learning Practices In Prekindergarten–Kindergarten Classrooms, Atiana T. Carroll Feb 2026

Teachers' Experiences Implementing Play-Based Learning Practices In Prekindergarten–Kindergarten Classrooms, Atiana T. Carroll

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The problem addressed through this study was that prekindergarten and kindergarten (PK-K) teachers in one large southern U.S. school district were not implementing play-based learning (PBL) practices despite the well-documented benefits of PBL in early childhood education. Guided by Knowles’s adult learning theory and Kolb’s experiential learning theory, the purpose of this basic qualitative study was to explore PK-K teachers’ experiences with implementing PBL and to identify what teachers need to embed PBL practices in PK-K classrooms. Semistructured interviews were conducted with nine PK-K teachers, and thematic analysis was applied to identify key patterns. Four themes emerged from the analysis: …
