Technical Disclosure Specification: Spec-187-Master The Co-Harmonic Fabric: Integrated Ternary Namespaces And Solid-State Topological Mesh Panel Chassis For Harsh Environment Exascale Engines, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This master engineering specification establishes the structural, mathematical, and electrical blueprint for a non-von Neumann computing topology that completely dissolves the traditional boundary between software execution namespaces and physical hardware substrates. By structuring the computational fabric into an array of sub-microscopic Co-Harmonic Nodes (CHNs) operating within a native Ternary Hilbert Sub-Space (d=3), this architecture eliminates text-token translation bottlenecks and the classical data bus. Software states are represented as continuous multi-dimensional tensor fields that instantly manipulate and are modulated by the physical lattice strain profiles of the silicon via localized piezoelectric thin-films.

To safeguard this continuous wave fabric against extreme environmental, …

Technical Disclosure Specification: Usue-Compiler-Rev3 - Asymmetric Local Encryption Wrappers And Material Field Parsing Integration Tier For Runtime System Engines (Spec 186), Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical specification establishes the architectural design, syntax compilation toolchain, and low-level runtime mechanics for the USUE-COMPILER-REV3 engine (SPEC 186). Upgrading the intermediate representation frameworks outlined in SPEC 182, this specification introduces a standalone client-side compiler layer capable of parsing non-uniform multi-axis physical material stress fields directly into localized, cryptographically isolated data packets. Traditional software compilers treat physical sensor telemetry as static, separate numerical inputs, creating critical processing latency and memory leaks inside extreme-environment systems. This architecture resolves these constraints by mapping the material phase distributions (FCC vs. HCP) of an Eckesonium™ lattice (SPEC 173/185) directly onto an orthogonal wave …

Circulation Sports: A Category That Already Had Members And No Name — Classifying Keep-Up Circle Games, Cooperative Ball Games And Sports Warm-Up Drills By Scoring Unit, Guaranteed Equal Participation And No Individual Statistics, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This study classifies cooperative and non-competitive ball games, keep-up circle games and sports warm-up drills by their scoring unit. Some sports score when an exchange ends; others score when it continues. A circulation sport is defined by three properties held as rules: it scores the completed pass rather than the termination; it guarantees that every participant receives the ball (by mandatory rotation, a called receiver or an all-must-touch rule); and it keeps no individual statistics. Below three participants a forward pass cannot be told from a return, a floor cited from work on generalized exchange and indirect reciprocity. A three-step …

Constituting An Artificial Person: Restraint As Constitution, And The Elemental Completeness Of An Aligned Mind — A Five-Register Ai Agent Architecture With Alignment Constraints As Constituents Of Agent Identity, A Counterfactual Removal Test For Corrigibility, And A Human Override That Never Reaches Zero, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We disclose an architecture for AI alignment and corrigibility in which the constraints that make an AI agent safe are specified as constituents of the agent's identity rather than as external constraints on an optimizer. The agent is modelled as four functional registers (a value substrate; binding to the people it serves; active practice; communicative reach) bound into one agent by an integrating register that is neither a further module nor a central observer, on the pattern of global-workspace integration. A completeness check tests a proposed agent for coverage across the registers rather than for capabilities, so a system passing …

Exploring The Effects Of A Five-Week Structured Exercise Program On Adolescents With Physician-Diagnosed Asthma, Christopher Byles

Doctorate in Kinesiology

Asthma, a prevalent chronic disease among adolescents, poses challenges for healthcare providers and exercise professionals seeking evidence-based methods to improve health outcomes. Despite the established importance of structured exercise for managing asthma, limited research has examined its effects on adolescents with asthma in community-based settings. This exploratory study evaluated changes in lung function, asthma control, exercise capacity, and quality of life among adolescents with physician-diagnosed asthma following participation in a 5-week, supervised, community-based structured exercise program delivered in two formats: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT). Five participants, adolescents aged 12-17 with physician-diagnosed asthma, were included in …

Toward Mechanical Mismatch Mitigation Enabled By Self-Healing Materials: A Review, Alex Burkhardt

Research from the Berry Summer Thesis Institute, 2026

The rapid evolution of soft robotics, wearable diagnostics, and bio-compatible electronic devices has intensified the demand for resilient, highly deformable materials with the capability to mimic soft biological tissues (skin, organs). A persistent bottleneck in the development of next-generation soft machines is the compliance mismatch at interfaces between conventional, rigid electronic components and soft elastomeric substrates. This disparity in mechanical moduli generates localized strain concentrations during device deformation that can result in delamination, material fatigue, and overall device failure. Although multimaterial or layer-by-layer architectures have been explored to bridge this gap, traditional fabrication methods typically rely on complex manufacturing protocols, …

Complementary Global–Local Feature Fusion And Ensemble Refinement For Facial-Expression Recognition On Fer2013, H. M. Shahzad, Hassan A. Ahmed

Business Faculty Publications

Facial-expression recognition (FER) on FER2013 remains challenging because of low-resolution images, class imbalance, and label ambiguity. This study presents a global–local feature-fusion framework that integrates complementary representations with validation-based ensemble refinement. A frozen DINOv2 ViT-Base captures global facial semantics, while EfficientNetB3 extracts complementary local texture features. Their fused representation is used for seven-class facial-expression classification. The classification head is first trained with targeted feature-space SMOTE, and the EfficientNetB3 branch is then partially fine-tuned. Five-view test-time augmentation (TTA) is further incorporated at inference, together with an independently trained ConvNeXt-Tiny branch to provide additional architectural diversity. Ensemble weights are selected using a …

Progress Towards An Analog Of The Darboux-Griffiths Converse Of Abel's Theorem In Characteristic P, John B. Little

Mathematics and Computer Science Department Faculty Scholarship

In this working paper, we report our recent efforts concerning a possible characteristic p analog of the so-called converse of Abel's theorem discussed by Darboux and Griffiths.  The characteristic zero version is used in one proof of the Lie-Wirtinger theorem on double translation manifolds and also in related aspects of the geometry of webs.  In informal terms, our results indicate that, apart from some isolated counterexamples, formal power series Abel relations over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p essentially only arise in the (generalized) Jacobians of algebraic curves.  The ultimate goal is to complete thevwork started in the author's …

The Colorado River Upper Initial Units Take Center Stage, Eric Kuhn, Anne Castle, Jack Schmidt, Kathryn Sorensen, Katherine Tara

The Traveling Wilburys of the Colorado River

In 1956, Congress authorized the Upper Initial Units—Flaming Gorge Reservoir,

Navajo Reservoir, and the Aspinall Unit (UIUs)—for a variety of water use

purposes in the Upper Colorado River Basin, including compliance with the

1922 Colorado River Compact (1922 Compact). The historical record is clear

that the primary reason these reservoirs exist is to satisfy the math of the 1922

Compact and the obligations it imposed on the Upper Division States

regarding flows at Lee Ferry.

The Ethics Of Relying On Research Participants’ Altruism, Alex Voorhoeve, Aaron Eli Segal, David Wendler

Faculty and Staff Publications

We examine the ethics of enrolling individuals in research that poses net health risks by appealing to their altruism. We argue that it is permissible to enroll individuals who are motivated by altruism when (i) they autonomously consent; and (ii) the net health risks are outweighed by the combination of (ii-a) the extent to which participation furthers their considered aims and thereby contributes to their wellbeing and agency and (ii-b) the study’s social value. Further, it is permissible to enroll altruistic individuals who cannot consent when: (I) their surrogate consents and they assent, ideally because it furthers their aims; and …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The social work practice problem identified in this generic qualitative study was the gap in clinical self-efficacy and means-efficacy among licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) concerning assessment and diagnosis. The perceived influence of a specialized certification on the self-efficacy and means-efficacy of LCSWs certified as Amen brain health professionals in clinical practice was explored. Bandura’s self-efficacy theory and Eden’s means-efficacy construct framed the study. Despite multiple recruitment efforts, semistructured Zoom interviews were completed with only three eligible LCSWs certified as Amen brain health professionals. Interview data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis, with NVivo support. Although saturation was …

Probation Officers’ Perspectives On The Impact Of Mental Disorders On Juvenile Delinquency, Cathy Bacon

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Exposure to abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness during developmental stages of childhood impacts the cognitive and emotional regulation of adolescents in juvenile detention centers. The research question was: What are probation officers’ perspectives of their lived experiences with juvenile offenders with mental health disorders who were detained in juvenile detention centers? A trauma-informed perspective provides knowledge of the phenomenon between trauma and the response of explosive behavior, anxiety, and oppositional defiant behaviors leading to delinquent acts and detainment. Youths involved in the juvenile justice system often have a history of trauma, abuse, and neglect, which may contribute to the development …

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

The rapid growth of Industrial IoT (IIoT) has led to large volumes of sensor data, increasing the need for scalable and data-driven maintenance solutions. This paper presents a replay-based streaming framework for predictive maintenance that integrates Apache Kafka for data ingestion, Apache Spark Streaming for distributed processing, and an LSTM-based model for fault prediction. The NASA CMAPSS FD001 dataset is used in a controlled streaming simulation to evaluate the feasibility of processing multivariate degradation data under different workload levels. To reduce data leakage, engine units are split before sliding-window sequence construction. Experimental results show that the LSTM model achieves 90.4% …

Fake Papers Analysis For The Improvement Of Academic Writing: A Five-Cohort Longitudinal Study, Sebastián Rinaldi

Irish Journal of Academic Practice

This paper examines the implementation of fake papers analysis as a pedagogical strategy for academic literacy development across five consecutive cohorts of undergraduate students of political sciences and international relations at the Universidad del CEMA, Argentina (2022–2026, n=60), using qualitative analysis of student written productions and self-assessment records in a longitudinal design. Findings indicate that students across all cohorts consistently identified formal and structural errors, but only those equipped with explicit methodological scaffolding demonstrated precision in detecting deeper methodological inconsistencies. These results extend the literature on evaluative judgement and active learning by identifying methodological scaffolding, rather than exposure to flawed …
