Failed Reactions Against Industrialism: Luddites And Owenites, Shane Tanner

Scholars Week

“Failed Reactions Against Industrialism: Luddites and Owenites” describes the failure of two English reactions to the Industrial Revolution. The Luddites, a reactionary conservative movement comprised of middle-class artisans, violently rejected the use of modern technologies because it threatened their economic opportunities. The Luddites’ middle-class constituency ultimately led to its failure, alienating themselves from the economic concerns of the working class and the nobility. Additionally, their violent protests made them unpopular to the British government. The Owenites, a radical ideology founded by industrialist Robert Owen, taught that the best way to eliminate the negative effects of industrialism was to educate people …

Belle Époque French Fashion: Understanding French Clothing Labels In Historical American Media, Meg E. Smith

Scholars Week

A period of French prosperity know as the Belle Epoque followed the Franco-Prussain War from 1871-1914. Within this time, Parisian Fashion would blossom and flourish with couturiers, fashion designers, rising in fame and influence within textile and clothing markets. Credit to this prosperity can be given to the second industrial revolution, the end of a long depression, and a dominating industry of luxury market goods production in tandem with a sharp increase in foreign trade. Foreign media, such as American newspapers, would display the array of reactions to the success of Parisian styles. Retail progression and the commercialization of leisure …

The Impact Of Inattentive Respondents And The Efficacy Of Quality Control Checks In Online Surveys, Tammy Mccullough, Sam Fullerton

Global Advances in Business Communication

An online survey provided insight regarding problems associated with inattentive respondents when collecting primary data using an Internet interface. Rather than open-access, respondents were part of a commercially maintained consumer panel. Inattentive respondents were identified using three quality control checks: an instructional manipulation, a common knowledge question, and a time check. Of the 1,452 respondents who completed the 83-question survey, 511 respondents (35.19%) failed at least one quality control check; 59 (4.06%) failed all three. Deviations between inattentive and attentive respondents were identified. For the instructional manipulation and the common knowledge checks, the impact of the inattentive respondents depended upon …

Revisiting Quantum Foundations: Deriving The Klein-Gordon-Fock Equation Without Axiomatic Postulates*, Joshua Lohr, Vola Andrianarijaona, Anton A. Lipovka

Campus Research Month

This paper presents a derivation of the Klein-Gordon-Fock equation from first principles. The proposed method eliminates the need to axiomatically postulate wave functions or equation coefficients. Instead, the derivation is performed on an adiabatically variable manifold, locally described by the Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric, incorporating complete electrodynamics. In this framework, the transverse electromagnetic field quantizes due to adiabatic changes in the metric tensor, with Planck's constant serving as its adiabatic invariant. Consequently, wave functions naturally emerge as eigenfunctions of a Sturm-Liouville problem used to expand the electromagnetic field.

Zenbrain: A Neuroscience-Inspired 7-Layer Memory Architecture For Autonomous Ai Systems, Alexander Bering

Defensive Publications Series

Memory management remains a fundamental challenge for autonomous AI systems. Existing approaches employ operating system metaphors, flat storage with LLM-driven management, or note-taking paradigms, but none incorporate principles from cognitive neuroscience—despite memory science offering over a century of empirically validated models.

We present ZenBrain, a multi-layer memory architecture for AI agents that integrates twelve established neuroscience models into a unified system. ZenBrain implements seven distinct memory layers—working, short-term, episodic, semantic, procedural, core, and cross-context—orchestrated by twelve algorithms including Hebbian learning dynamics for knowledge graph co-activation, Ebbinghaus forgetting curves with FSRS spaced repetition scheduling, sleep-time memory consolidation, Bayesian confidence propagation …

Calculating Potential Energy Curves Of Molecular Hydrogen And Its Ion Using Psi4 For Blinc Fusion Applications*, Angelina Castillo, Oscar Coral, Canaan Hercules, Blake Laing, Vola Andrianarijaona

Campus Research Month

Southern Adventist University’s Beamline for Ionic and Neutral Collisions (BLINC) is investigating the interactions between hydrogen molecules and fusion particles. To perform in-house theoretical calculations, the BLINC Theory and Analysis Group is testing Psi4 as a viable computational method for BLINC fusion research. Successful calculations of the potential energy curves and dissociation energies of H₂ and H₂⁺ have been completed and compared to known values. Preliminary results align with known values, demonstrating Psi4’s potential for BLINC research. Future work will focus on the vibrational energies, wavefunctions, and transition probabilities of H₂ and H₂⁺.

Construction Of Alkali Oven For Charge Transfer Collisions In Beamline Applications*, Benjamin D. Chun, Oscar T. Coral, Gabriella Kim, Naomi Munyaka, Vola Andrianarijaona

Campus Research Month

This work presents the desig and development of an alkali metal oven used for charge-transfer collision experiments within the Beamline for Ionic and Neutral Collisions (BLINC) at Southern Adventist University. This oven is engineered to produce a stable and controllable alkali vapor source (K/Cs), enabling interactions between the H2+ ions and neutral alkali atoms for the study of rovibrational energy transfer.

The alkali metal oven was designed to be modular to switch out different capillary designs for diverse vapor release into the beamline. This system was designed using SolidWorks and fabricated through CNC machining, with particular emphasis on thermal wiring …

Energy Scaling And Frequency Ratios Of Particles And Constants, Alison Christina Menzmer, Donald Chakeres, Vola Andrianarijaona

Campus Research Month

We are exploring quantum aspects of various physical quantities (including Bohr radius, Rydberg constant, Planck time, and Hubble constant) and mass energies of elementary particles (including electron, neutron, and quarks). We express all physical units in an energy equivalence in Hertz, normalized to 1 Hz. Furthermore, the logarithms of these normalized energies are scaled by the logarithm of a chosen particle, which allows the generation of an Arrhenius plot exhibiting numerical structures. Our results presented in this poster show that the proton is a good candidate for an Arrhenius plot with partial fractions (1 + 1/n) and (1 - 1/n).

Tensegrity Across Biological Scales, V. M. Andrianarijaona

Campus Research Month

Over the past two decades, biology has undergone a profound conceptual shift. Living systems are no longer viewed strictly as biochemical networks; they are now understood as mechanically integrated, energy-dissipating, nonequilibrium systems governed by physical laws. Tensegrity—structural stability derived from a balance of pre-stressed tension and compression—provides the essential linking framework between molecular architecture and organismal function. This approach moves beyond "chemistry-only" models to explain how biological integrity and "mechanotransduction" (the conversion of physical force into biochemical signals) emerge from hierarchical, force-regulated networks.

Experimental Assessment Of Waste Cooking Oil Biodiesel (Ucme) Blends In A Diesel Engine, Mohanad J. Hameed Al-Karawi

Engineering and Technology Journal

This study experimentally investigates the performance, combustion behavior, and emission characteristics of a single-cylinder, direct-injection compression ignition engine fueled with biodiesel derived from waste cooking oil (WCO). Used cooking oil methyl ester (UCME) was produced via alkaline transesterification using methanol and potassium hydroxide (KOH) and blended with commercial diesel at volumetric ratios of B2, B5, B7, and B10. Engine tests were conducted at a constant speed of 3000 rpm under varying load conditions. The physicochemical properties of UCME blends were found to be comparable to those of conventional diesel, enabling stable engine operation without modification. Performance analysis revealed that B7 …

Experimental Investigation Of Compressive And Wear Behavior Of Polymer/Cnt Nanocomposites, Mohanad J. Hameed Al-Karawi

Terra Joule Journal

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has wide usage in structural and tribological applications, but low compressive strength and poor wear resistance limit its performance in load-bearing sliding conditions. This study investigates the impacts of ultra-low concentrations of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on flexural properties at 0.1, 0.5, and 1 wt. % on the mechanical and frictional behavior of PMMA nanocomposites. The mechanical performance was analyzed by load–displacement and stress–strain analysis, and the wear behavior was studied using a pin-on-disk tribometer under dry sliding conditions. Raman spectroscopy confirmed the successful incorporation of MWCNTs while maintaining their graphitic structure within the polymer matrix. The …

Incorporation Effect Of Sustainable Fuels And Soot Particles Characteristics On Engine Oils (Sae 5w/30) Behavior In Diesel Engine, Mohammed A. Fayad, Raghad R. Mahdi, Amani Ahmed, M.A.I. Al-Hamid, Suha A. Mohammed, Shaimaa B. Al-Baghdadi, Wissam H. Alawee, Francisco J. Martos

Terra Joule Journal

Incomplete combustion within the combustion chamber generates numerous gaseous and solid emissions, including soot particles. Some of these soot particles are expelled through the exhaust nozzle, while others accumulate on the cylinder walls and accumulated in the engine oil. The accumulation of soot particles in engine oil is considered one of the most important factors affecting engine performance. It causes degrades the oil through their interaction, thus affecting the oil's viscosity, oxidation, and corrosion properties. Therefore, the combined effects of sustainable fuel and soot particles characteristics on engine oil behaviour were studied in this study. Soot samples extracted from lubricant …
