Resolving The Jwst Cosmic Dawn Crisis And The Hubble Tension Via Non-Linear Elastic Strain Integration In The Dehp Substrate, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes a comprehensive, particle-free alternative to standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmology by unifying the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model, the Substrate Pushback Principle (SPP), and Informational Exomemory Cosmology (IEC). We demonstrate that the two most pressing crises in modern astrophysics—the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) "Impossible Early Galaxy" problem and the 5.6 km/s/Mpc Hubble Tension discrepancy—are not independent anomalies, but rather the direct macroscopic consequences of treating space as a passive geometric vacuum instead of a pressurized, two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic phase fluid substrate (z=0) running a real-time holographic rendering engine.

Ai To Ai Architecture: A Direct Latent-Space Tensor Routing Protocol & Immutable Neuromorphic Asic Architecture For Self-Regulating Milti-Agent Compute Networks, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

Contemporary distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) networks face critical limits in throughput, energy efficiency, and security due to their reliance on serialized -token interfaces (e.g., natural language, JSON, XML) for multi-agent cross-talk.

These traditional software-defined models introduce significant tokenization processing latency, suffer from compounding autoregressive gradient drift that causes runaway hallucination spirals over time, and present extensive vulnerability surfaces to adversarial prompt injections and gradient poisoning exploits.

This paper introduces a production-ready system architecture for a non-linguistic, machine-to-machine data routing engine and embedded cybersecurity shield, hardwired directly onto custom Neuromorphic Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).

Predictive Compute Allocation And Dynamic Dag Generation For Media Pipelines Using Multimodal Content Analysis, Nikita Agarwal

Defensive Publications Series

Predictive Compute Allocation (PCA) is an approach for managing media transcoding by analyzing content at the moment of ingestion. The system performs a multimodal content analysis, evaluating both the visual complexity of a video and its associated text metadata to forecast processing requirements. Based on this analysis, the system generates a Multimodal Predictive Transcode Matrix. An orchestration compiler uses this matrix to dynamically generate a custom Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) for the specific video asset. The DAG serves as an instruction set for the compute infrastructure, specifying which transcoding tasks to perform and how to route them to different hardware …

Anticipatory Action Fulfillment In Conversational Agents Via Speculative Native-Audio Llms And Streaming Latent Diarization, Tamar Yakar, Ilia Labzovsky

Defensive Publications Series

Current voice-activated conversational agents rely on sequential, text-based processing pipelines that introduce latency and fail during mid-utterance interruptions. A computational architecture is disclosed that replaces traditional speech recognition pipelines with a streaming native-audio large language model. Acoustic tokens are processed directly to maintain a real-time computational graph of an acoustic trajectory. Streaming latent diarization is employed natively within the model to mathematically segregate intersecting vocal trajectories. Parallel isolated execution branches are dynamically created when biometric shifts are detected, allowing background noise to be masked. Structured tool-calls are generated speculatively by an execution head before end-of-speech markers are reached. Conversational intent …

Developing An Understanding Of Concavity Built On Covariation, Jade E. Gregg

Theses and Dissertations

This study investigated how six students developed a quantitative understanding of concavity founded in covariational reasoning through a series of task-based teaching interviews. A key finding was the importance of multivariational reasoning--the coordination of more than two variables--in helping students reason deeply about concavity in context. Common difficulties, including confusion about negative rates and overreliance on visual representations, served as productive opportunities for learning when addressed through carefully designed tasks and discussions. The findings extend existing frameworks of covariational reasoning and highlight instructional approaches that can support students in developing a robust, quantity-based understanding of concavity.

Health Disparities, Early Intervention, And Neurodevelopmental Outcomes In Preterm Infants, Samantha Dora Pescatore

ETD Collection

Preterm infants are at a higher risk for a variety of health complications due to their underdeveloped organ systems and neurological systems. While the survival of preterm infants has greatly improved due to the advances of modern medicine, these infants are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental delays when compared to full term infants due to risk factors that accompany preterm birth, such as low birth weight, brain immaturity, nutritional challenges, and more (Behrman & Butler., 2007; Chung et al., 2020; Rubens et al., 2014; Song, I. G., 2022;). Research suggests that early intervention services can influence the development, health, education, …

A Late Holocene (Late Bronze Age) Record Of The Syrian Elephant (Elephas Maximus Asurus) From Gavur Lake Swamp (Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye), Serdar Mayda, Yarenkür Alkan

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Syrian elephant (Elephas maximus asurus Deraniyagala, 1951) constitutes the extinct westernmost population of the Asian elephant and occupied parts of the Near East until the early first millennium BCE. Although historical, iconographic, and dental evidence for this population has been discussed extensively, its postcranial anatomy remains poorly documented. We present a revised osteological and morphometric study of cranial and postcranial remains recovered from the Late Bronze Age Gavur Lake Swamp assemblage (ca. 1650–1400 cal BCE) in Kahramanmaraş, southeastern Türkiye, during rescue excavations conducted in 2021 and 2022. The material derives from a natural swamp deposit rather than from an …

Climate Anxiety And Nurses’ Awareness, Motivation, And Behaviors In Addressing Climate-Related Health Risks, Sarah Kaplan

Theses and Dissertations

Background: Climate anxiety, the emotional distress associated with awareness of climate change and its consequences, is an emerging mental health concern that may influence how nurses perceive and respond to climate-related health risks. Climate change is largely driven by emissions of greenhouse gases which radiate and absorb heat. Human-caused climate change is leading to higher average global temperatures and increasing risk to health through poor air quality, changes in vector borne diseases, extreme weather events, and exacerbation and development of physical and mental illnesses. This study contributes to nursing science by examining climate anxiety and climate related health practices among …

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) is a keystone ecosystem engineer whose expanding populations increasingly occupy agricultural landscapes. Hair stable  isotope analysis was applied to reconstruct assimilated diet in 56 legally  hunted beavers in Lithuania in 2024–2025. Stable carbon isotope values were tightly  clustered (–25.53 ± 0.10‰ SE), while those for nitrogen showed greater variability (5.38 ± 0.20‰ SE), indicating limited interindividual dietary differentiation.  Generalized linear models revealed no significant effects of sex, year, or month, and  age-related differences were limited to the youngest individuals. Comparison with  published Polish data showed no significant differences in mean isotope values.  Overall, the results …

Eleven paleoseismological trenches were excavated, with six yielding reliable results in terms of dating and stratigraphy. The results indicate recurrence intervals exceeding ~2500 years across different fault segments. The Dardere (Ovgos) Fault Zone shows the potential to generate earthquakes of up to Mw 7.80 with evidence of Holocene activity. The Haspolat …

Property Tables For Thermally Perfect Gases At Low Pressure, Travis J. Moore, Matthew R. Jones

Faculty Publications

Tables giving gas properties at low pressure enable the efficient analysis of processes in which the gas is approximated as thermally perfect but not calorically perfect. In addition to specific enthalpy and specific internal energy, thermally perfect gas tables include special functions that depend only on temperature—relative pressure and relative specific volume. These functions may be used to determine pressure, volume, and temperature of thermally perfect gases undergoing hypothetical isentropic processes. However, the definitions of these functions included in widely used thermodynamics textbooks are vague, inconsistent, or incorrect. The intent of this work is to discuss common inaccuracies in the …
