Category-Adaptive Recall Depth (Card) For Heat-Tiered Memory Systems, With Experimental Validation On Longmemeval-500, Arko Sanyal

Defensive Publications Series

We present Category-Adaptive Recall Depth (CARD), a retrieval mechanism for heat-tiered memory systems that conditions top-K depth and ranking strategy on a query category signal. Prior memory retrieval systems apply a fixed top-K regardless of query semantics; CARD instead assigns each query to one of four categories—information extraction (IE), knowledge update (KU), multi-session reasoning (MSR), temporal reasoning (TR)—and selects a per-category (K, ranking_strategy) pair optimized for that category's retrieval demands. KU queries additionally filter to the highest-version record per entity, enabling 100.0% accuracy on knowledge update tasks. We evaluate CARD integrated with LOCI (Layered Output and Context Intelligence), a heat-tiered …

Central Asia's Kaleidoscope Of Identities: Sport As The Perfect Instrument For Nation-Building, Khais Rahmanie

Journal of Global South Sport Studies

The five Central Asian countries emerged from Soviet collapse with arbitrarily drawn borders, weak national identities, and deeply complex ethnic and religious landscapes. Predominantly Muslim but heir to seventy years of Soviet secularization, each state contains substantial minority populations. Confronted with these internal fractures, the governments of these countries have since their independence in the 1990s turned to sport as a primary instrument for forging social cohesion, managing interethnic tensions, and legitimizing their authority. This article examines the ethnic lines, explains why certain sports and events are specifically organized in particular regions, and traces sport's evolution from a Soviet tool …

The Control Of Public Administration In Morocco, Abdellah El Moutaouakil

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This article offers a critical survey of the mechanisms controlling public administration in Morocco at the central level. Distinguishing internal from external controls, the author first examines internal administrative controls - the 'apparent' controls exercised by inspection bodies with limited or extended competence (notably the General Inspectorate of Administrative Services and the General Inspectorate of Finance) and the 'presumed' controls inherent in administrative hierarchy, whether exercised ex officio or upon appeal by citizens. He then analyses external controls: judicial review before the Supreme Court, financial control by the recently established Court of Accounts, parliamentary control through written and oral questions, …

Asymmetric Video Streaming With Generative Metadata For Client-Side Reconstruction, Rohan Garg

Defensive Publications Series

This document describes systems and methods for asymmetric video streaming that can address challenges associated with delivering high-resolution content over limited-bandwidth networks. A server-side system can analyze a high-resolution source video to generate a low-resolution base video stream and a separate metadata stream containing content-specific generative instructions. A client device, for example, a smartphone, smart television, or other computing device, can receive both streams and use the metadata to guide an on-device generative process, for instance, on a neural processing unit, to reconstruct a high-resolution video. This technique may reduce the amount of data transmitted, which can lower server costs …

Framework for Holistic Content and Context-Aware Display Arbitration

ABSTRACT

The disclosed technology describes a centralized, context-aware display architecture that dynamically regulates visual output by concurrently analyzing environmental conditions, hardware states, and on-screen content. By replacing isolated, stacked display adjustments with a unified intelligent orchestrator, the system generates a comprehensive predictive parameter vector that dictates granular display settings. This approach leverages machine learning and localized telemetry to resolve visual feature collisions, ultimately preserving visual fidelity, enhancing text legibility, and minimizing hardware power consumption.

Perceptual Hdr Enhancement Within Sdr Color Space Via Dual-Model Content Analysis, Sianyi Huang, Yu Wang, Jongseo Lee

Defensive Publications Series

Converting standard dynamic range (SDR) to high dynamic range (HDR) content relies on computationally intensive ML models and heavy graphics processing unit (GPU) image processing. These requirements present barriers to implementation on mobile devices. This disclosure describes techniques, referred to as enhanced SDR (eSDR), that achieve the perceptual benefits of HDR, such as highlight sparkle and deep shadow detail, without leaving the SDR container. Global statistical features of an SDR video frame are extracted. A base luminance gain curve for the video frame is determined based on the luminance histogram. An artifact risk metric for the video frame is determined …

Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension With Negative Brain Mri Findings: A Systematic Review Of Diagnostic Strategies And Clinical Outcomes, Marina Romozzi, Giuseppe Garignano, Valid Rastegar, Francesco Onorati, Catello Vollono, Federico Tosto, Masahito Katsuki, Yasuhiko Matsumori, Francesco Signorelli

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a debilitating syndrome typically characterized by orthostatic headache and classic brain MRI findings. However, brain MRI abnormalities are indirect manifestations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume depletion rather than direct evidence of the leak, and some patients may present with unrevealing or absent typical brain MRI findings, posing a considerable diagnostic challenge.

METHODS: A comprehensive search of PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus was conducted to perform a systematic review, according to PRISMA guidelines, analyzing the available evidence on MRI-negative SIH (patients without typical SIH findings on their initial brain MRI), including its clinical features, …

Advance Care Planning Education In The Community, Haley R. Monhollon, Margaret E. Kinney

Group: Nebraska Methodist College

Primary care providers are the best individuals to have advance care planning (ACP) conversations with patients due to their familiarity and knowledge of the patient’s health history, but the shortage of these providers and the limited time per visit to educate and help the patient make decisions limits their ability to hold these conversations. Community education sessions have been found to not only increase knowledge but also influence and change behavior. The purpose of this study was to hold community education sessions regarding ACP and advance directives (AD) to increase patient knowledge and increase the number of individuals who plan …
