Ur-099 Empowering Mental Wellness: A Comprehensive Study And Design Of A Predictive System For Early Mental Health Intervention​, Anh Duong

C-Day Computing Showcase

Mental health is an essential part of living a balanced and fulfilling life, but it is often overlooked compared to physical health. While physical health is important for performing daily activities, mental health plays a crucial role in how we manage stress, build connections, and make decisions. Previous research studies have shown that nearly 60 million Americans experienced a mental illness in 2024, yet there were only 340 people for every one mental health provider in the U.S. Furthermore, young adults aged 18–25—who are the most digitally connected generation—suffer from the highest rates of severe mental illness yet are the …

Ur-114 K86: 16-Bit Computer Design, Optimization, And Implementation​, Calvin Crose, Juan Ferreira, Brendan Moore, Caleb Oglesby, Jack Vega

C-Day Computing Showcase

This research focused on the implementation of modern computing systems by designing and simulating a 16-bit RISC-based ISA computer. The computer is built on a Von Neumann memory architecture with 1024×16-bit word-addressable space and a 6-bit ISA with 36 implemented instructions. The central processing unit (CPU) includes a control unit (CU) that automatically drives the fetch-decode-execute (FDE) cycle, four addressable general-purpose registers (GPRs), and an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) comprising 21 operations and producing four flags. We validated the system by executing Euclid's GCD algorithm, generating the binaries with a custom assembler written in Python.

Ur-017 Sherlock: Self-Supervised Histopathological Evaluation For Recognition Of Lymphocytes And Other Cancerous Kinds, Charles Pagano Apr 2025

Ur-017 Sherlock: Self-Supervised Histopathological Evaluation For Recognition Of Lymphocytes And Other Cancerous Kinds, Charles Pagano

C-Day Computing Showcase

Whole Slide Images (WSI) are gigantic images (e.g. 100k x 100k pixels) of tissue samples. The goal of SHERLOCK is to detect cancer cells in those tissue samples. We do this by using a pretrained Masked Autoencoder (MAE), from Facebook’s research lab, that we finetune on the PanNuke dataset. The benefit of using an MAE is that unlike supervised learning the WSI’s don’t need to be labeled. This is important because it will save a lot of time and money that would be spent on labeling WSI’s.

Ur-018 Towards Bounding The Behavior Of Deep Neural Networks, Aidan Boyce Apr 2025

Ur-018 Towards Bounding The Behavior Of Deep Neural Networks, Aidan Boyce

C-Day Computing Showcase

Recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have unlocked many new possibilities but have also brought with it many new challenges. While modern AI systems have been continuously exceeding expectations, our ability to interpret and understand their behavior lags behind. For example, an AI model trained to detect pneumonia from X-rays may fail in new hospitals because it learned to recognize hospital logos instead of medical patterns. Why do some succeed while others fail? Do they truly understand their tasks, or are they relying on patterns that may not always hold? To enumerate the most informative explanations of a neuron’s behavior, …

Ur-063 K86: 16b Computer And Assembler Design And Implementation​, Vera Warren-Aliff, Ethan Dingle

C-Day Computing Showcase

With this project, we designed a general-purpose 16-bit RISC+CISC computer architecture, alongside an assembler, instruction embedder, and preliminary compiler. Our computer architecture, K86 (Kennesaw 86), is inspired by the Intel x86 and ARM architectures that have enabled computing systems to perform many of the modern functionalities we rely on today. To allow for fluid programming and processing, KASM (Kennesaw Assembler) translates assembly code into machine instructions which will be stored in the computer memory by the embedder. With the addition of a preliminary compiler to produce assembly from high-level source code, our project defines much of the foundation of a …

Simulation-Based Design Optimization Of Active-Control Rocket Canards In Subsonic Flight, Simon Babcock, Christopher Jaus, Evan Carmello, Judah Finley, Kaelyn Haynie, Robert Rivera, Samuel Worthington, Zizai Liu Apr 2025

Simulation-Based Design Optimization Of Active-Control Rocket Canards In Subsonic Flight, Simon Babcock, Christopher Jaus, Evan Carmello, Judah Finley, Kaelyn Haynie, Robert Rivera, Samuel Worthington, Zizai Liu

Liberty University Research Week

Rocket canards are small, vertical control surfaces located above a rocket's main rear fins, typically just below the nosecone, providing active-control maneuverability during flight. When an internal mechanism rotates the canards about their center relative to the rocket air frame, they achieve an angle of attack and produce a lifting force perpendicular to the airflow and tangential to the curvature of the air frame. This lifting force causes a moment relative to the rocket's center of gravity along both the roll and pitch axes, which can be used to stabilize the rocket mid-flight by providing corrective adjustments to the rocket's …

White Pupil Fibre-Fed Echelle Spectrograph Of The Russian-Turkish 1.5 M Telescope: Optical Design And Analysis, Cevdet Bayar, Nuri̇ Unal Apr 2025

White Pupil Fibre-Fed Echelle Spectrograph Of The Russian-Turkish 1.5 M Telescope: Optical Design And Analysis, Cevdet Bayar, Nuri̇ Unal

Turkish Journal of Physics

This study presents optical designs of two fibre-fed èchelle spectrographs (FES), which differ from each other in terms of cross-dispersers, and optical analyses of the spectra (orders) obtained from the designs. Optical analyses of both designs were performed by interpreting the results obtained from the spot diagram, footprint diagram, and encircled energy diagram in the ZEMAX (OpticStudio) optical design program. In the first spectrograph design, prisms were used as the cross-disperser. Specifically, two symmetric N-F2 glass prisms with 42-degree apex angles were used as the cross-disperser. In the second design, a grism was used as the cross-disperser. This grism was …

Snapshots Issue 20: Effort In Pisa: Insights From Recent Data, Lisa De Bortoli Apr 2025

Snapshots Issue 20: Effort In Pisa: Insights From Recent Data, Lisa De Bortoli

Snapshots

This issue of Snapshots explores how student effort may vary depending on the perceived stakes of the assessment. We revisit the self-reported levels of effort that students invested in the PISA test and compare them with the effort they indicated they would have made if the results counted towards their school marks. Australia’s results are compared with 21 of the 81 comparison countries and economies that participated in PISA 2022,1 providing a context for understanding Australia’s position in the global education landscape. We then examine effort in PISA among different demographic groups within Australia, which can influence how students approach …

Rotating Anisotropic Bose Gas With Large Number Of Vortices, Ahmet Keleş Apr 2025

Rotating Anisotropic Bose Gas With Large Number Of Vortices, Ahmet Keleş

Turkish Journal of Physics

Rapidly rotating atomic gases provide a platform for studying phenomena akin to type-II superconductors and quantum Hall systems. Recently, these systems have attracted renewed interest due to technological advances in the trap anisotropy control, in-situ observation capabilities, and cooling and rotating complex atomic species such as dipolar gases. Understanding the vortex lattice formation and quantum melting is crucial for exploring quantum Hall physics in these systems. In this paper, we theoretically investigate the vortex lattices in anisotropic quantum gases. We formulate the rotating gas Hamiltonian in the Landau gauge, and consider the effects of additional perturbations such as the trap …
