Emergent Volumetric Expansion: Resolving The Hubble Tension Via 2d Viscoelastic Substrate Mechanics And Fused Bao Facets, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents a rigorous, particle-free alternative to the standard Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric expansion paradigm by unifying the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model and Informational Exomemory Cosmology (IEC). Rather than treating the vacuum as a geometric void expanding via dark energy, we formalize space as a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic phase fluid substrate operating at a resonant baseline (z=0). Three-dimensional (3D) baryonic matter emerges exclusively as localized, high-tension wave crests ("knots") projected vertically along a spatial z-axis, topologically anchored to zero-volume underbelly negative wave troughs ("anchors").

By applying continuum fluid mechanics to this membrane architecture, we reinterpret the 150-megaparsec …

Hardware-Driven Race-To-Halt (Rth) In Conjunction With Dynamic Voltage And Frequency Scaling (Dvfs) For Memory Path Power Management, Anthony Douglas Masterson

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes systems and techniques to manage power for dynamic memory interfaces within system-on-chip architectures.  In some implementations, memory paths utilize discrete operating frequencies.  The described systems introduce a hardware-driven synchronization and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) mechanism that adjusts the active time of a memory interface based on real-time utilization.  By operating the memory interface and associated requestor blocks at an elevated speed for a compressed burst period, and subsequently power-gating these components, a variable offline period is created.  This synchronization effectively yields a continuous spectrum of bandwidth scaling levels.  The hardware-driven approach coordinates active and inactive …

Female Resistance To Patriarchal Norms: A Study Of Identity And Self-Determination In The Film Enola Holmes (2020), Mikkial Muna, Eli Nofriati, Zuraini Zuraini

Jurnal Pendidikan: Teori, Penelitian, dan Pengembangan

This study examines the representation of women's resistance to patriarchy through identity formation and self-determination in the film Enola Holmes (2020). Set in the Victorian era, the film portrays a patriarchal society that limits women's rights, educational opportunities, and freedom to determine their own lives. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design with a grounded theory approach. The primary data were collected through repeated observation of the film, focusing on relevant scenes, dialogues, character actions, and visual elements, and were analyzed using thematic analysis interpreted through the perspectives of patriarchy and liberal feminism. The findings reveal that patriarchy is represented …

Frequency Zero, Jd Hobkirk

Night Flight: Online Literary Journal

Frequency Zero is a grounded science fiction thriller that explores the terrifying intersection of rigid aviation protocol and the unexplainable. Set during the desolate 02:00 shift at a high-desert regional airport, the narrative follows Elana, a pragmatic air traffic controller whose unwavering faith in logic and physics is shattered by the arrival of an impossible aircraft. Operating without a transponder, radar signature, or engine noise, the sleek, phantom craft, identifying only as Niner-Four-Golf, defies every aerodynamic law before seamlessly dissolving through the solid steel doors of a classified government hangar. As the facility initiates a synchronized, covert deployment of unmarked …

The first part examines the problems posed by inventory management and enterprise modeling, distinguishing administrative organization, valuation, and decision-making. The second part introduces the DYN-STOCKS model, which represents the firm and its …

Efficient Row Hammering Mitigation For Multi-Channel Memory Architectures, Hitender Singh Rathore, Shekar Babu Merla, Pandithurai Sangaiyah, Wei-Jen Chen

Defensive Publications Series

A memory controller implementation for efficiently mitigating row hammering attacks in multi-channel memory systems is disclosed. The implementation addresses memory module architectures in which an alert signal pin of the memory module is shared by multiple module sub-channels. In this implementation, when the shared alert signal indicates a potential row hammering event, the memory controller stalls traffic to the memory module and transitions it to an idle state. The implementation reads status registers on the memory module to identify the affected sub-channels. Rather than broadcasting refresh management commands across all sub-channels, the memory controller unblocks the unaffected sub-channels and issues …

Defensive Publications Series

Framework for Holistic Content and Context-Aware Display Arbitration

ABSTRACT

The disclosed technology describes a centralized, context-aware display architecture that dynamically regulates visual output by concurrently analyzing environmental conditions, hardware states, and on-screen content. By replacing isolated, stacked display adjustments with a unified intelligent orchestrator, the system generates a comprehensive predictive parameter vector that dictates granular display settings. This approach leverages machine learning and localized telemetry to resolve visual feature collisions, ultimately preserving visual fidelity, enhancing text legibility, and minimizing hardware power consumption.

Time Synchronization Between Devices Coupled Via Universal Serial Bus (Usb) Interface, David Yu

Defensive Publications Series

Time synchronization between a host and a target device coupled via an interface such as USB is vital for correlating host-side power measurements with device-side workload for software events (workload profiling). This disclosure describes high-precision host-target device time synchronization techniques. Per the techniques, a network connection is established between a host device and a target device that has low transmission delays. The host device determines baseline time offsets both at the beginning and at the end of a work profiling period using statistical noise filtering. The host device applies linear interpolation to map device-side timestamps to the host-side timeline based …

The Viscoelastic Redshift Protocol: Resolving The Hubble Tension Via 2d Substrate Fluid Mechanics, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents a rigorous, particle-free alternative to standard Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology by formalizing the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model. Instead of treating spacetime as a geometric vacuum expanding via dark energy, we model the universe as a continuous, two-dimensional (2D) viscoelastic phase fluid substrate operating at a resonant baseline ($z=0$). Three-dimensional (3D) baryonic matter emerges as localized, high-tension wave crests ("knots") projected vertically along a spatial z-axis, tethered directly to zero-volume antimatter anchors on the substrate's underbelly. By applying continuum mechanics to this membrane architecture, we derive a novel, purely material resolution to the Hubble Tension crisis. We …

Signal And Substance: Why Methodological Sophistication Fails To Guarantee Inference, Aamir Rashid, Rizwana Rasheed

Publications and Research

Despite increasing analytical sophistication, empirical research in organization studies continues to suffer from fragile inference, uneven theoretical accumulation, and contested credibility. This paper seeks to explain why these problems persist by shifting attention from authors’ methodological choices to the evaluative dynamics of peer review. Adopting a conceptual and theory-analytic approach, the paper theorizes peer review as an inferential gatekeeping system. Drawing on research design, theory evaluation, and philosophy-of-science literatures, this study develops an analytical framework to examine how evaluative routines shape what constitutes empirical rigor during the review process. The analysis identifies five recurring reviewer blind spots: inferential scope inflation, …

The prevalence of trauma across clinical settings and limited trauma training for clinicians can negatively affect trauma survivors. The impact of novice clinicians’ lack of preparedness and its implications for clients should be important considerations for educators, supervisors, and policymakers. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the lived experiences of novice counselors and their preparedness to work with trauma survivors. Grounded in descriptive phenomenology, this study explored participants’ perceived preparedness to work with trauma survivors and the ways these experiences may inform counselor education and supervision. Participants were provisionally licensed counselors within three years of graduating from …

Construction Workers’ Perceptions Of Immersive Virtual Reality Training Effectiveness, Tyiesha "Ty" Gainey

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Construction remains one of the most hazardous industries in the United States, while employer-sponsored training opportunities have declined, raising concerns about safety, workforce readiness, and knowledge transfer. Construction leaders need to understand how workers perceive immersive virtual reality (IVR) amid these challenges as an indicator of persistent safety risks, limited workforce preparedness, and ineffective knowledge transfer. The purpose of this single exploratory case study was to examine construction workers’ perceptions of the effectiveness of IVR in transferring knowledge to enhance job performance. Guided by Kirkpatrick’s four-level model of training evaluation, participants’ perceptions of reaction, learning, behavior, and results were examined. …

Paul Wileyto, Robert H. Vonderheide, Dana Dornsife, Robert G. Johnson, Carmen E. Guerra

Student Papers, Posters & Projects

BACKGROUND: Out-of-pocket (OOP) costs pose a significant barrier to participating in cancer clinical trials (CCTs). Financial reimbursement programs (FRPs) that reduce the burden of OOP costs can support participation in CCTs if the information is readily available to participants at the time of enrollment. Prior studies have shown the importance and impact of FRPs, but despite improvements, significant barriers still remain.

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to explore the feasibility and acceptability of automated texts designed to offer, screen, and enroll CCT participants in an FRP for OOP travel and lodging-related clinical trial costs.

METHODS: This study used a mixed …
