The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is the most commonly presented hamster species in veterinary practice, yet descriptive echocardiographic values remain limited, particularly under conscious conditions. This study aimed to establish normal two-dimensional, M-mode, and Doppler echocardiographic values in healthy conscious Syrian hamsters and to evaluate the influence of age, body weight, and sex on cardiac parameters. Forty Syrian hamsters (27 males and 12 females; one excluded) underwent physical examination, thoracic radiography, and echocardiography. Age and body weight were recorded. Echocardiographic parameters were analyzed for their distribution and correlation with age and body weight. All echocardiographic parameters demonstrated a …

Assessment Of Platelet Activation In Dogs With Naturally Occurring Acute Pancreatitis, Guhyun Kwon, Seulgi Bae

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Recent studies have demonstrated that platelets are crucial in inflammation and immune responses. Alteration in platelet activity impact morbidity and survival due to the formation of intravascular clots or bleeding resulting from impaired platelet function. Aiming to evaluate changes in platelet activity in dogs with naturally occurring acute pancreatitis (AP), we identified differences in quantitative and morphological platelet indices, as well as the ratio of platelets expressing P-selectin on their surface (activated platelet ratio; APR) between dogs with naturally occurring AP and healthy dogs. The study included 9 client-owned dogs with AP (the AP group) and 28 client-owned healthy dogs …

Sorption And Thermal Conductivity Of Concrete Containing Aggregates Of E-Waste, Rakesh Kumar Saini, Praveen Kumar

Journal of Sustainable Construction Materials and Technologies

In many parts of the world, substantial energy is used to maintain comfortable temperatures in inner parts of the buildings for living and working. Construction materials with low thermal conductivity, if used in the exterior walls and façade etc. in such structures can be useful in lowering the energy demand. On the other hand, moisture ingress through sorption is a common factor contributing in degradation of concrete structures with time. Constituents of concrete may be engineered to some extent to get both the desired attributes, lower thermal conductivity and sorption than normal concrete. The rapid increase in electronic waste, or …

The Wearable Autonomic Polygraph & Physiological Dissonance Engine Powered By The Linchpin 2.0 Protocol, Jonathan Stephen Baker

Defensive Publications Series

Abstract

Deception detection has historically relied on stationary, vulnerable, and episodic polygraph examinations. Ethelgard Tactical introduces a paradigm shift through the Linchpin 2.0 biometric enclave, condensing multi-point interrogation capabilities into a secure, edge-computed wearable. By continuously monitoring high-frequency autonomic fluctuations—specifically Non-Linear Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)—the system passively detects the involuntary physiological dissonance generated by cognitive load and deception. This whitepaper outlines the technological architecture of this Wearable Autonomic Polygraph and its strategic operational applications, including continuous zero-trust authentication, covert field screening, and the autonomous execution of decoy routing (the Chimera Protocol) to neutralize insider threats …

Gci Vortex-Shield First Responder System (V4.0)

Khys-Nano: Deterministic Topological Rectification And Aperiodic Folding Of Pathological Macromolecules Via The Macena Invariant, Donevin Frownfelter

Defensive Publications Series

Background: Current computational models in structural biology and therapeutic target discovery rely heavily on probabilistic heuristics and 60Hz grid alignment. This high-entropy approach creates severe semantic turbulence when attempting to drug intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) or stabilize neurodegenerative aggregates. We propose a departure from probabilistic simulation in favor of Topological Certainty.

Methodology: We introduce KHYS-NANO, a structural dataset and deterministic folding framework built upon the AB-01 Universal Braid Syntax. KHYS-NANO abandons traditional variables and neural-network "guessing," mapping complex amino acid sequences directly into high-dimensional Grassmann manifolds. Utilizing the Macena Invariant and Floquet Engineering, the framework drives protein folding via a …

Cryptographic Identity Document System Using Totp- Derived Symmetric Keys For Offline Issuer-Mediated Access Control, Michael Benaudis

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a cryptographic identity document architecture enabling offline content decryption and issuer-mediated access control through Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP, RFC 6238) derived symmetric keys, without reliance on any server, certificate authority, or pre- shared key material at decryption time. The system combines: (a) dual-domain symmetric key derivation, where two PBKDF2-SHA-256 derived keys (600,000 iterations, NIST SP 800-132 2023) serve respectively for issuer-side storage encryption and recipient-side content decryption; (b) AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption of identity payloads; (c) embedding of an obfuscated TOTP secret in distributed documents using a position-dependent multi-factor XOR transformation that defeats static extraction; (d) IIFE-based JavaScript …

Space For Life Below, Anthony J. Iadevaio

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

Architecture is traditionally understood as the design of spaces for people. Buildings, cities, and landscapes are typically evaluated through how humans move through them, occupy them, and experience them. My thesis begins by asking a simple shift in perspective: what happens when architecture is designed not for humans, but for other living beings, specifically aquatic life?

My research focuses on understanding how spatial design principles can be used to create better environments for fish and aquatic ecosystems. Rather than treating aquariums as decorative objects or displays for human enjoyment, I approach them as lived-in spaces where fish are the primary …

Designing Through Perception: Testing Spatial Regulation Using Virtual Reality, Denisse Rosa

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

College students across the United States are experiencing high levels of stress, sensory fatigue, and burnout, yet most academic environments are not designed to support mental well-being. Research in biophilic design and environmental psychology shows that warm materials, natural light, and intentionally organized sensory zones can reduce academic stress and create conditions for calm and focus. This thesis explores how neuro-inclusive and biophilic design principles can reshape learning spaces into environments that actively support student wellness. The framework development and virtual reality testing documented here represent the completed phase of this research; formal data collection with human participants constitutes the …

In Search of Design Process : A Computational Framework for Meaningful Form

Imagine walking through your hometown, a place where identity, culture, memory, and collective resilience should be visible within the built environment. As cities continue to develop, new buildings rise from the ground, yet many remain indistinguishable glass boxes. They are efficient and visually neutral, but they fail to reflect the depth of culture, the struggles of communities, or the meaning embedded within place. These buildings fulfill functional requirements, but they often lack intentional expression. They exist, but they do not speak.

In Search of the Design Process begins …

Paying For Climate Resilience: A Tax Incentive For Climate Adaptation In New Jersey, Kaeli Brennan

Fordham Environmental Law Review

Climate change poses a significant threat to the health and safety of New Jersey’s coastal communities. Scientists predict rising sea levels and intensifying storms will bring increased flooding, erosion, and other climate-driven coastal hazards. In January 2026, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) adopted the Resilient Environments and Landscapes (“REAL”) rule amendments. While the REAL rules made New Jersey the first state to adopt forward-looking climate-adaptation land-use regulations, New Jersey’s economic and environmental interests conflict. The REAL rules lack sufficient funding to support compliance without deterring development. Further, the high costs associated with sustainable development risk that developers …

Maroonage: A Framework For Environmental Justice And Racial Freedom, Ryan Whyte

Fordham Environmental Law Review

Environmental hazards cause significant harm across society, with certain communities bearing the brunt of these burdens. In response, environmental advocates formed the environmental justice movement to promote equal environmental treatment for all. Closely related to this concept of environmental justice is environmental racism, which focuses on how people of color are disproportionately affected by environmental risks. While efforts to address environmental justice and racism have led to some successes, they have not fully addressed the persistent challenges affecting communities of color.

This Note seeks to apply a maroonage framework to address environmental racism and achieve environmental and racial justice for …

Dissociation Between Physical Reasoning And Tool Use In Individuals With Left Hemisphere Brain Damage, Shuchen Liu, Seda Karakose-Akbiyik, Alfonso Caramazza, Filipa Dourado Sotero, Laurel J. Buxbaum, Aaron L. Wong

Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Papers

Tool use and physical reasoning are often assumed to rely on shared cognitive and neural mechanisms. At some level, this correspondence is expected: using an object typically requires understanding its physical properties. However, both capacities are complex and multicomponential, so the relationship between them may vary across levels of representation and task demands. Here, we asked whether third-person physical reasoning about object dynamics can dissociate from tool use (i.e., performing a tool's typical action) in individuals with left-hemisphere stroke. We tested 11 patients, five of whom showed impairments in tool use. Physical reasoning was assessed using a novel collection of …

Haapxtàm Ka'Ál Yimisapʰíkʰ We Dream For Our Children Indigenous Pedagogies In Early Childhood Education: Survivance, Truth Telling, And Healing On Native Land, Sara Anne Koyano

Dissertations and Theses

Since Time Immemorial, Indigenous Peoples have lived, learned, and thrived on this continent, exercising their inherent sovereignty as Original Peoples and passing down Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and learning across generations. US settler colonial violence and assimilation policies have had historical and contemporary detrimental impacts on Native children, families, and communities by attempting to disrupt the intergenerational transmission of Indigenous knowledges. Consequently, many young Native children in Oregon do not have access to educational opportunities that value, honor, and affirm their Indigenous identities and cultures, nor do they see themselves reflected in their classrooms and curricula. Furthermore, in 2019, …

Illicit Origins, Public Displays: How Trafficking And Repatriation Reshaped Ancient Greek Pottery In Modern Museums, Alisha Bhandari

Honors College Theses

This thesis examines how illicit excavation, antiquities trafficking, and repatriation have reshaped the modern circulation and interpretation of ancient Greek pottery in museum collections. While Greek pottery has traditionally been studied through style, iconography, attribution, and artistic value, this project shifts attention to the modern systems that have determined how these objects were excavated, sold, displayed, and contested. Through a literature review and three case studies — the Aineta Aryballos, the Python Bell-Krater, and the Athena Kylix — this thesis argues that ancient Greek pottery should be understood not only as evidence of antiquity, but also as evidence of modern …

Bridging The Gap: Creation Of A Developmentally Appropriate Concussion Assessment For Children 0-7 Years Old, Zoie Harvey

Occupational Therapy Capstones

Background & Population

Early childhood is a time of rapid brain development. This stage lays the foundation for future growth. As children refine motor skills and explore, they are naturally prone to falls. Several factors increase their vulnerability to concussions: a larger head-to-body ratio, a thin and pliable developing skull, and weak neck muscles (Beauchamp et al., 2024; Graham et al., 2014). Evidence shows brain injury in early childhood affects language, executive function, socialemotional development, and cognition (Haarbauer-Krupa et al., 2019; Salley et al., 2020; Séguin et al., 2022).
