At-Home Computational And Data Literacy For Pre-K–5 Students: A Review Of The Literature, Marc Sager, Sarah Miller, Zarek Drozda

Journal of Educational Research and Practice

This systematic review investigates best practices for promoting data literacy development in pre-K–5 learners, with a specific focus on caregiver involvement in at-home learning environments. A comprehensive search and screening process identified 42 studies for inclusion. The studies were analyzed to determine effective strategies for fostering early data literacy. Key findings emphasize (1) early, developmentally appropriate engagement with attention to equity; (2) core learning outcomes in computational and data literacy; (3) learning approaches integrating real-world contexts and hands-on experiences; (4) balanced use of digital tools and unplugged activities; and (5) essential parental and caregiver involvement. The review highlights integrating data …

Jumping Into The Deep End: Lessons Learned From Editing A Book About Open Movements, Abbey K. Elder, Bryan T. Ricupero, Shannon M. Smith

All Things Open

In 2023, we had a great idea: let’s make an open access book about open movements! Little did we know, this experience would change us all as we learned and grew alongside the authors who contributed to our volume, Open Movements: Recognizing Challenges and Building Connections.

Open Movements is about a lot of things: it’s about the institutional initiatives that support open scholarship, the vendors and programs that connect practitioners to the ideals of openness, and the barriers we run into when we try to communicate all that “Open” can be. Despite coming from separate institutions with backgrounds spanning …

Predictive Computational Arbitrage And Dynamic Resource Allocation In Heterogeneous Networks, Aura Yavary

Defensive Publications Series

A system and method for dynamic allocation of computing resources across local and remote environments based on task complexity and resource availability are described. The approach involves evaluating an input using a probe model to determine a difficulty score and complexity tags. Based on this evaluation, the system isolates the input into individual semantic shards for processing across a heterogeneous network of computational targets. A compute bill of materials is generated to optimize cost and quality, matching specific shards with appropriate models, quantization precision levels, energy limits, and hardware targets. The architecture includes a semantic atomizer for parsing inputs, a …

Ai-Powered Socratic Dialogue System For Collaborative Problem Solving, Tamar Yakar

Defensive Publications Series

Complex problem-solving often faces limitations when automated tools provide immediate answers, which can bypass the critical thinking and reflection necessary for addressing intricate challenges. A method is disclosed for an interactive dialogue system that employs Socratic questioning to guide users through the cognitive process of problem resolution. The disclosed technology comprises a problem decomposition engine, an assumption identification module, and a persona-based perspective generator. These components are integrated with a first-principles thinking mode and a dynamic cognitive map visualization that tracks the structure of the dialogue. By systematically challenging underlying assumptions and breaking down complex issues into fundamental elements, the …

Harmonic Vector Equilibrium: A Unified Integer-Based Framework For Control, Navigation, And Communication On The Cuboctahedral Matrix, Olexandr Lozovyi

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure presents an integer-based spatial and phase control framework (HVE) designed for embedded systems and actuators. The method replaces conventional floating-point arithmetic and 360-degree metrics with a base resolution of L = 27720. This metric, being the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of integers 1 through 12, guarantees exact integer division for complex mechanical gear ratios and spatial subdivisions.

The framework eliminates progressive floating-point phase drift and provides a computationally lightweight, pure-integer control law suitable for resource-constrained microcontrollers. The mathematical principle is inherently scalable to higher-precision systems (32/64-bit) for cross-disciplinary applications, including Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) spatial encoding, non-invasive neuromodulation …

Thermally Stable Multilayer Coating With A Diffusion Barrier For Interference Colors, Marco Zhou, Damon Guo

Defensive Publications Series

Multilayer coatings used to create decorative interference colors may experience color degradation when thermally reactive metallic layers, such as copper and aluminum, are subjected to high-temperature manufacturing processes. This can cause atomic diffusion and the formation of intermetallic compounds that may alter the optical properties of the stack. To mitigate this, a separating layer, for example a thin film of niobium, can be incorporated between the reactive metallic layers during fabrication. This separating layer can function as a diffusion barrier to obstruct atomic migration at elevated temperatures. By inhibiting the formation of intermetallic compounds, the barrier layer may help preserve …

Automated Transactional Workflow Orchestration From Visual Documents, Dinoop Dayanand, Ravi Tejasvi, Nithya Kota, Hemen Chhatbar, Adam Chiu

Defensive Publications Series

Manual transcription of information from unstructured visual documents, such as utility bills or event flyers, for digital transactions may be inefficient and prone to error. A system is described for automating transactional workflows initiated from a visual input. A user may provide an image of a document to a multimodal large language model, which can analyze the image to perform semantic analysis, extract relevant transactional data like a payee and an amount, and infer a user's intent. This structured information can then be provided to an agentic controller that can programmatically orchestrate a sequence of actions. These actions can include …
