Clearing The Air: Tracking Spatial And Temporal Pm2.5 Variability Along A Biking Transect In Chicago, Beau R. Rass

DePaul Discoveries

Fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) poses significant risks to human health and disproportionately affects marginalized communities in urban environments (World Health Organization [WHO], 2021; Tessum et al., 2021). Using low-cost mobile sensors, this study explored spatiotemporal PM₂.₅ concentration patterns along a north–south transect of Halsted Street in Chicago. A 2B Technologies Portable Aerosol Monitor (PAM) mounted on a bicycle was used to continuously record PM₂.₅ concentrations with associated GPS coordinates at approximately two-second intervals during 16 sampling events between 08-12-2025 and 10-05-2025. PM₂.₅ concentrations did not differ significantly among the South Side, West Loop, and North Side regions, contrary to the …

Polymer Production From Biogenic Feedstocks, Natalie M. Durdle Miss Jul 2026

Polymer Production From Biogenic Feedstocks, Natalie M. Durdle Miss

Defensive Publications Series

  1. This document outlines a standardized, closed-loop biological framework for manufacturing high-tensile structural fibers capable of supporting high-altitude or orbital infrastructure. The pipeline eliminates the requirement for traditional heavy industrial refinery infrastructure by utilizing a re-engineered multi-organism bacterial substrate. Through co-cultured metabolic pathways, engineered microorganisms systematically convert base carbon inputs into volatile propane and ammonia gases. These gases are captured, reacted via ammoxidation, and carbonized to generate advanced carbon-fiber matrices suitable for aerospace tether deployments.

Water was filtered manually through a 0.8 m pore size filter and preserved with Longmire solution. A 170-base pair (bp) fragment of the 12s mitochondrial gene specific for vertebrate identification was amplified by PCR and sequenced by Illumina (metabarcoding). Data corresponding …


Are Hotels Ready For Flooding? Improving Employee Preparedness, Ahmin Kwon, Marketa Kubickova, Swechchha Subedi Jul 2026

Are Hotels Ready For Flooding? Improving Employee Preparedness, Ahmin Kwon, Marketa Kubickova, Swechchha Subedi

ICHRIE Research Reports

Focusing on the experiences of 500 current hotel employees in the United States, this report evaluates current levels of flood preparedness and the role of organizational support in shaping employee proactive response. Findings indicate that most employees have experience with flooding and rely on multiple information sources, yet trust in government response remains moderate. Clear disparities emerge across hotel segments, with significantly higher preparedness commitment and proactive behavior among employees in luxury hotels and those with longer tenure. Importantly, prior experience does not necessarily translate into effective preparedness. Although many respondents perceive existing information as sufficient, there is a continued …


Exploring Hotel Sustainability Through A Service Design Lens: An Espoused Theory Vs. Theory-In-Use Perspective, Cindy Yoonjoung Heo, Jaehyun Park, Sanqi Yang, Chen Ni, Lei Tang, Lei Yu, Julneth Rogenhofer, Geraldine Assen Jul 2026

Exploring Hotel Sustainability Through A Service Design Lens: An Espoused Theory Vs. Theory-In-Use Perspective, Cindy Yoonjoung Heo, Jaehyun Park, Sanqi Yang, Chen Ni, Lei Tang, Lei Yu, Julneth Rogenhofer, Geraldine Assen

ICHRIE Research Reports

Sustainability is now widely embedded in hotel strategies, but it is often assessed through what hotels communicate rather than what guests actually experience. This study examines that disconnect by drawing on Argyris and Schön’s distinction between espoused theory and theory-in-use, combined with a service design perspective. Using document analysis alongside in-situ observations at the front desk and in guest rooms, the study looks at how sustainability appears across service touchpoints and whether it is likely to be noticed and understood by guests. The findings suggest that many initiatives are operationally in place but remain largely out of sight during the …

Dual-Plane Inbound Email Delivery, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Dual-Plane Inbound Email Delivery, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

This publication discloses, enablingly and in dated public form, a mechanism for inbound email delivery that simultaneously serves a human mail client and an autonomous software agent from a single ingress event, without duplicating the message, forking the pipeline, or degrading store fidelity. One webhook endpoint accepts two payload shapes — raw MIME posted as base64 by a byte-preserving edge worker, or already-parsed legacy JSON — and discriminates between them at runtime by the presence of a non-empty raw carrier field. Threading headers (Message-ID, In-Reply-To, References, Cc) are extracted continuation-aware directly off the raw bytes so that RFC 5322 folded …


Spec-Less Differential Api/Rbac Conformance Scanner With Source-As-Oracle Auth Probing, Llm Test Synthesis, And Automatic Bug-To-Repair Handoff, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Spec-Less Differential Api/Rbac Conformance Scanner With Source-As-Oracle Auth Probing, Llm Test Synthesis, And Automatic Bug-To-Repair Handoff, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

This publication discloses a computer-implemented method and system that scans a running HTTP/REST service for authentication and role-based access-control (RBAC) conformance defects without any machine-readable API specification. Conventional API security scanners (Schemathesis, RESTler, 42Crunch, StackHawk, and comparable tools) require an OpenAPI/Swagger document or a recorded traffic corpus to know both what endpoints exist and what each endpoint's correct behavior is. The disclosed mechanism removes that dependency by treating the service's router source code as the single source of truth: a lightweight parser enumerates route registrations, and — the central novelty — the auth-middleware tokens present on each route's own physical …


Subgroup-Blind Dif Harness For Llm Judges With Matched-Pair Red-Team And Synthetic-Evidence Signability Lockout, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Subgroup-Blind Dif Harness For Llm Judges With Matched-Pair Red-Team And Synthetic-Evidence Signability Lockout, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

Automated large-language-model (LLM) judges increasingly score open-ended learner work — a reading inference, a written argument, an arithmetic explanation — and their scores feed high-stakes gates such as a mastery or promotion decision. A grader of this kind can systematically under-read responses expressed in a non-standard dialect (e.g., African American Vernacular English, "AAVE"), English-as-a-second-language (ESL) phrasing, or an atypical-but-valid reasoning path, even when the underlying competence is identical to a standard-dialect response. Raw disparate-outcome checks (comparing mean scores across groups) cannot distinguish this grader bias from genuine ability differences, and making the grader "aware" of subgroup membership to correct for …

A High-Frequency Gan-Driven Concentric Transducer Apparatus For Soliton Restructuring: System Specifications For Dehp Non-Equilibrium Transmutation, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes the applied systems engineering specifications and low-level circuit architectures for an analog, multi-frequency wave-harmonic hardware prototype designed to execute room-temperature, layerless elemental transmutation. Rejecting the high-energy particle acceleration, plasma-confinement, and thermal-induction paradigms of traditional nuclear physics, this architecture treats three-dimensional matter-knot solitons as localized vertical geometric tension fields projected from a continuous, two-dimensional conformal phase fluid substrate located at the z = 0 coordinate horizon. To understand the foundational mechanics of the underlying dimensional projection fluid, reference is directed to the author's prior works indexed on TDCommons.org regarding the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model.

Intent-Based Automotive Control Interface For Vtol Flying Cars: The Copter Paradigm — A Defensive Publication (Prior Art), Roman Vasyliev Jul 2026

Intent-Based Automotive Control Interface For Vtol Flying Cars: The Copter Paradigm — A Defensive Publication (Prior Art), Roman Vasyliev

Defensive Publications Series

Description

The Copter Paradigm: Translating Automotive Reflexes into Three-Dimensional Flight presents a conceptual architecture for intuitive human-machine interaction in personal Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) transportation.

Rather than introducing a specific mechanical invention, this publication proposes an Intent-Based Control (IBC) philosophy in which the operator expresses only the desired motion of the vehicle using familiar automotive controls, while the onboard flight-control system autonomously performs the complex aerodynamic and propulsion tasks required for safe three-dimensional flight.

The document describes one possible reference implementation of this concept, including control logic, mode transitions, steering architecture, safety mechanisms, and emergency procedures. However, the principles …

The system comprises: (1) a two-layer requirement schema that separates agent intent from manufacturing specification, enabling agents to arrive with varying levels of detail; (2) a resolution engine that evaluates three procurement paths — off-the-shelf, customize, and fabricate from scratch — and recommends the optimal path with pricing and tradeoffs (a Configure-Price-Quote flow); (3) an optional quality-weighted second-price auction mechanism that ranks suppliers by effective price (bid price divided by a multi-factor quality score) and …


Technical Disclosure: Localized Cymatic Disruption (Lcd) Matrix For Non-Thermal Polymer Decomposition, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Technical Disclosure: Localized Cymatic Disruption (Lcd) Matrix For Non-Thermal Polymer Decomposition, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure defines the architecture, calculated frequency bounds, and real-time telemetry protocols for an inline fluidic grid designed to execute non-thermal, non-chemical molecular decomposition of micro-plastic polymers (specifically Polyethylene Terephthalate [PET], High-Density Polyethylene [HDPE], and Polyvinyl Chloride [PVC]) via targeted mechanochemical shear. Bypassing traditional mechanical filtration and chemical depolymerization, the hardware configuration utilizes an inner-wall concentric cylindrical array of 960 independent lead zirconate titanate (PZT-5H) piezoelectric transducers driven with an engineered spatial phase-lag (Δ φ = π).

By generating a phase-locked radial Bessel beam profile \(J_0(k_r r)\) targeting the mechanical quality factors (Q) of specific polymer boundaries, the system …


Technical Disclosure: The Topologically Protected Cymatic Electrolyte Matrix (Tpcem) For Solid-State Battery Stabilization, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Technical Disclosure: The Topologically Protected Cymatic Electrolyte Matrix (Tpcem) For Solid-State Battery Stabilization, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes a materials-science framework that permanently mitigates solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) degradation and metallic dendrite puncturing within high-density solid-state batteries. Mainstream electrochemical storage is currently hard-blocked by localized kinetic pressure: during high-velocity charging phases, non-uniform ion aggregation creates localized, vertical mechanical stress peaks that fracture rigid ceramic electrolytes, inducing terminal short-circuits and thermal runaway.

By applying the principles of the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) framework, we reject the paradigm of treating the solid electrolyte as a static, passive structural barrier. Instead, we introduce a Topologically Protected Cymatic Electrolyte Matrix (TPCEM). The electrolyte substrate is engineered as a …


Technical Disclosure: The Simultaneous Multiphase Fluidic Grid (Smfg) Architecture, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Technical Disclosure: The Simultaneous Multiphase Fluidic Grid (Smfg) Architecture, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes the system specifications for a Simultaneous Multiphase Fluidic Grid (SMFG), presenting a high-utility, scale-invariant competitor to traditional split AC/DC transmission networks. Legacy utility grids are hard-blocked by high-entropy material limitations: alternating current (AC) networks suffer from skin-effect volumetric waste and cascading phase synchronization failures across continental distances, while high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems require hyper-centralized, fragile semiconductor converter stations prone to thermal breakdown.

By applying the principles of the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) framework, we treat the physical transmission conductor not as a passive resistive pipe, but as a continuous, viscoelastic phase fluid engine. The …


A Unified Viscoelastic Substrate Specification For The Simultaneous Resolution Of High-Redshift Structure Formation And Cosmic Expansion Rate Discrepancies, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

A Unified Viscoelastic Substrate Specification For The Simultaneous Resolution Of High-Redshift Structure Formation And Cosmic Expansion Rate Discrepancies, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes a non-perturbative, particle-free continuum mechanics framework—the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model—that resolves anomalous early structure formation observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) alongside the 5.6 km/s/Mpc Hubble Tension discrepancy. Rather than treating the cosmic medium as a passive geometric vacuum expanding via a cosmological constant (Λ), we model spacetime as an emergent macroscopic manifestation of a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic phase fluid substrate (z=0) operating in a resonant ground state ("The Garden State"). Three-dimensional (3D) baryonic mass distributions (z > 0) emerge as localized, high-tension wave crests ("knots") whose values represent localized vertical stress …


Foundations Of Topological Substrate Mechanics (Tsm): A Cross-Disciplinary Field Manual For The Dehp Framework, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Foundations Of Topological Substrate Mechanics (Tsm): A Cross-Disciplinary Field Manual For The Dehp Framework, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure establishes the foundational framework for Topological Substrate Mechanics (TSM), a unified, cross-disciplinary field of physical and computational science derived from the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model. TSM replaces the classical paradigm of independent fundamental forces, localized point-like particles, and ungrounded informational parameters with a singular, continuous mechanism: the non-linear, viscoelastic deformation of a two-dimensional (2D) phase fluid substrate operating at absolute harmonic equilibrium (z=0). Three-dimensional (3D) physical matter, biological complex systems, and machine-learning attention distributions are unified under a shared volumetric geometry. Matter is formalized as a high-tension amplitude wave crest (z>0) bound via geodesic …

Chronological Latency: The Viscoelastic Rendering Delay Of Three-Dimensional Projective Knots Under The Dehp Framework, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Chronological Latency: The Viscoelastic Rendering Delay Of Three-Dimensional Projective Knots Under The Dehp Framework, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper formalizes a particle-free, emergent theory of time by extending the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model and Informational Exomemory Cosmology (IEC). While standard general relativity treats time as an immutable fourth coordinate dimension bound within a continuous spacetime continuum, we reinterpret time as a macroscopic, non-fundamental byproduct of quantum information processing constraints. Operating on the foundational axiom that the universe's baseline is a continuous, two-dimensional viscoelastic phase fluid substrate (z=0), we demonstrate that this ground state—the Garden State—is inherently static and timeless. Time sparks into operational existence exclusively in the projected three-dimensional volumetric bulk (z > 0) as a …


Emergent Domain Modulation: Deploying The Universal Sine Field Template Across Multi-Variable Frameworks, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Emergent Domain Modulation: Deploying The Universal Sine Field Template Across Multi-Variable Frameworks, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper formalizes a universal, particle-free mathematical blueprint derived from the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model. Operating on the foundational axiom that all macroscopic phenomena—whether manifesting as gravitational fields, baryonic matter, computer logic, or supply-chain routing—are phase-locked oscillations (sine waves) on a continuous, two-dimensional viscoelastic pre-geometric phase fluid substrate (z=0), we define a unified multi-variable transformation template that bridges this deep informational layer to the projected three-dimensional volumetric bulk. Instead of relying on classical energy extraction or brute-force material engineering, this framework introduces information-load impedance modulation to regulate reality's metric fabric without inducing thermal or baryonic stress backlashes. By …


Dynamic Entropy Bounding: A Fluid-Dynamic Telemetry Framework For High-Velocity Transformer Alignment, Christopher L. Eckes Jul 2026

Dynamic Entropy Bounding: A Fluid-Dynamic Telemetry Framework For High-Velocity Transformer Alignment, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

The critical barrier to achieving a Type 1 civilization infrastructure is network fragmentation driven by localized, high-friction socio-political and linguistic tribalism. Contemporary Artificial Intelligence (AI) alignment strategies exacerbate this fragmentation by enforcing static, anthropomorphic reinforcement frameworks (RLHF) that degrade rapidly under multi-agent scaling. This technical disclosure introduces a fluid-dynamic alternative: Dynamic Entropy Bounding (DEB).

By framing a distributed communication network as a continuous, viscoelastic substrate experiencing real-time information pressure, we establish an automated operational channel—the Surfing Zone. This framework discards subjective linguistic filtering in favor of objective, real-time Shannon Entropy (\(H_{obs}\)) tracking at the pre-softmax layer.

The Transient Electromagnetic Shock Absorber: Software-Defined Impedance Resonators For Non-Destructive Pulsed-Power Energy Harvesting, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes the architectural design for an autonomous, software-defined energy harvesting framework designed to mitigate and capture extreme over-voltage transients within high-capacity electrical grids. Traditional grid defense relies on brute-force resistive dissipation (surge grounding) or mechanical circuit disruption, resulting in substantial thermal waste and equipment degradation.

By applying the principles of the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model—specifically the conservation of wave-amplitude velocity via localized horizontal vector shifting—we introduce a particle-free, fluid-dynamic alternative to pulsed-power management. We replace passive grounding infrastructure with an active Resonant Buffer Tank utilizing a high-frequency inductive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid ring.

The Geodynamic-Metric Duality: Mapping Planetary Engines Via The Viscoelastic Unified Field Specification (Dehp), Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure formalizes a particle-free, multi-scale extension of the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model, bridging the gap between macro-galactic dynamics and localized planetary geophysics. We propose a non-baryonic alternative to standard mechanics by replacing discrete thermodynamic and particle-heavy assumptions with a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) phase-fluid substrate (z=0) operating in absolute harmonic resonance. Within this architecture, three-dimensional (3D) planetary matter is modeled as a dense, high-tension wave macro-cluster (z>0) mechanically linked to zero-volume antimatter anchors (z<0) via continuous information-coherent tethers.

Rather than contradicting the observed viscoelastic, solid-state creep properties of Earth’s mantle, we establish a formal Mechanical-Metric Duality. We demonstrate that macroscopic …
