221 Irving Ave., Llc V. Chulco

All Decisions

The Appellate Term affirmed the dismissal of five holdover proceedings. The court held that the landlord's building, originally containing five residential units, became subject to rent stabilization after a commercial tenant created a sixth residential unit in the basement. Based on witness testimony regarding the basement's residential use, the court found sufficient indicia of permanency to qualify the space as a housing accommodation. As the landlord failed to serve the required rent stabilization notices, the court affirmed the judgments in favor of the tenants.

Greene Ave. Rehabilitation 2012 Bsrc, Lp V. Bennett

All Decisions

The court dismissed the landlord's licensee holdover petition after the tenant filed a motion arguing a defective notice of petition. The court agreed, finding the petition failed to comply with court-mandated forms required by court rule 22 NYCRR § 208.42(b) and Administrative Order 163/19. While the court acknowledged the increasing technicalities for landlords, it sided with the tenant and dismissed the case without prejudice.

Establishment Of A Reverse Genetics System For Studying Human Immune Functions In Mice, Priya Pal, Shuai Gao, Hongbo Gao, Xiwen Qin, Marina Cella, Qiankun Wang, Liang Shan

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Reverse genetics approaches in mice are widely used to understand gene functions and their aberrations in diseases. However, limitations exist in translating findings from animal models to human physiology. Humanized mice provide a powerful bridge to understanding human physiology and mechanisms of disease pathogenesis while maintaining the feasibility of working with small animals. Methods for generating humanized mouse models that allow scientists to probe contributions of particular genes have been rudimentary. Here, we established an efficient method for generating genetically modified human cord blood-derived CD34

Investigation Of Subcellular Damage And Long-Term Non-Cancerous Cardiovascular Effects Following Whole-Body Photon Irradiation, Nousha Afshari

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Current radiobiological models focus primarily on nuclear DNA damage and fail to fully explain radiation-induced noncancerous health effects. This dissertation investigates whether non-nuclear subcellular structures contribute to radiation-induced biological damage through experimental biomarker analysis and computational microdosimetry. The central hypothesis posits that whole-body photon irradiation results in subcellular non-nuclear damage, specifically increased circulating mitochondrial DNA concentrations, that correlates with radiation dose and long-term noncancerous effects such as cardiovascular disease.

Specific Aim 1 measured mitochondrial and nuclear DNA concentrations in banked blood samples from 72 Chinese rhesus macaques that previously received whole-body photon irradiation ($0-10$ Gy) from Cobalt-60 or LINAC sources. …

Zero Knowledge Proofs In Hybrid Environments, Rittwik Hajra

Master’s Dissertations

The impending advent of quantum computing poses a significant threat to classical cryptographic primitives, necessitating a robust migration toward post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) systems. However, a complete transition remains impractical in the short term, giving rise to hybrid environments where classical and PQC schemes coexist. This thesis addresses a fundamental challenge in such settings: the need for efficient and secure zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) that establish plaintext consistency across cryptographic primitives defined over distinct algebraic domains. We present novel zero-knowledge protocols that bridge lattice-based schemes, specifically NTRU, with classical constructions like Pedersen vector commitments and ElGamal encryption. Our primary contributions include (1) …

The U.S. Executive Order On Seabed Mining Is Consistent With International Law, James Kraska

International Law Studies

This article analyzes the legality of U.S. unilateral seabed mining authorized by Executive Order 14285, signed by President Donald Trump on April 24, 2025, permitting mineral extraction on the U.S. continental shelf and international deep seabed. Critics, including China, the European Union, and the International Seabed Authority, contend that this policy violates international law by circumventing Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which designates seabed minerals as the “common heritage of mankind” and mandates regulation through the ISA. The article asserts that, as a non-party to UNCLOS, the United States is not …

Parents’ Experience Of The Effects Of Racism On The Psychological And Physical Health Of Teenagers With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities, Akane Nakamura

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Many children and adults in the United States experience developmental disabilities and mental health challenges, leading to bias, marginalization, and economic hardship. Racism exacerbates these issues for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), increasing depression, isolation, and health disparities. The purpose of this study was to explore parents' perspectives on the impact of racism on the psychological and physical health of teenagers aged 13–18 years with moderate IDD in the Northwestern United States. Disability critical race theory provided a lens for examining how race and disability intersect to create barriers for these teenagers. The research method was qualitative. Phenomenology …

The Rise Of Foss In India: Empirical Evidence And Insights From Cross-Sectoral Case Studies, Arul George Scaria, Suryaprakash Mishra, Shubham Shinde, Rashi Singhal

Research Reports

The report analyses the adoption of FOSS in India, primarily through case studies across four sectors (healthcare, education, finance, and software and IT services) and different types of organisations (start-ups, non-profits, medium, large, and public sector organisations). The study highlights both the benefits and challenges experienced by organisations using FOSS. The study illustrates that while organisations benefit from increased innovations, cost/ time savings, flexibility, and enhanced security, they also face challenges such as lack of enough skilled personnel and limited community support. Organisations are also seen taking a cautious approach to licensing, favouring permissive licenses over restrictive ones. Based on …

New Approaches To Media Education

Communication Research Trends

There is increasing consensus among educators around the world that some form of education for the use of the public media - especially television - should be an integral part of the primary and secondary school education.

Teachers are daily experiencing the fact that one of the major cultural influences forming the imagination of their students is the often long hours watching television. Sometimes television is a more important 'educational experience' than the school. Too often, however, the school, family life and the· television set are three mutually antagonistic or indifferent poles that leave young people drifting in a no …

The Challenge Of Cable Television

Communication Research Trends

Cable television is at least thirty years old, yet it is still talked of as a new communications medium. Why? Optimists say because it has yet to realise its multi-channel potential to enrich and diversify television programming. Even better, cable will provide the citizen with a host of interactive information, educational, and transaction services.

Sceptics see cable offering old programming in new packages. They ask: Will only the well-off benefit? Who will control cable systems? Can privacy be protected? Does cable TV damage public service broadcasting? What do we really want cable for?

In many countries cable is on the …
