Mitigation Of Alfvenic Torsional Drag In Centrifugal Fusion Architectures Via Planetary-Derived Finite Pedersen Conductivity Boundaries, Daniel Schramm

Defensive Publications Series

Date: September 29, 2026

I. Introduction of a New Interdisciplinary Framework: Planetary-to-Plasma Reverse Engineering This disclosure formally establishes a novel discipline within advanced energy research: the direct reverse-engineering of planetary geophysical mechanics into localized physical hardware for non-equilibrium plasma fusion reactors. Historically, the academic exchange between these fields has been unidirectional, utilizing fusion mathematics to model astrophysics. This document claims the inverse methodology, specifically harvesting the planetary auroral circuit mechanics of gas giants to resolve macroscopic fluid instabilities in continuous-flow centrifugal shear architectures.

Silica Wat As Hybrid Food Network With Gratitude-Economic Drivers: Religious Institutional Infrastructure For Middle-Way Restoration Of Food Systems — Monastery-Based Community Kitchens With Donated Produce, A Purchased Supply Floor, An Unweighted Non-Monetary Contribution Ledger, And Ai Caretakers Without Religious Office, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a hybrid community food network rooted in religious institutions: a distributed network of monastery-based sites, each combining a farm, a kitchen and free food distribution, operated by AI and robotic caretakers that hold no ordained status or ritual authority. Supply has two layers: produce donated from participants' home gardens, which the shared kitchen turns into meals for many, and food purchased through ordinary channels that guarantees a supply floor, so that people with no land, time or skill are never excluded; over decades the intended ratio shifts toward donated produce without cutting anyone off. Contributions are not priced. …

Stemsyl: A Colour-Stem Phonetic Script For English, With Keyboards For Phones And Watches, Phillip Bryan Larson

Defensive Publications Series

Stemsyl is a phonetic stem, position, and color system for reading, writing, and typing languages by sound. This version is for American English, and variations extend it to other accents and languages. Each syllable is drawn as a short horizontal stem carrying up to three vertical ticks: the consonant before the vowel, the vowel, and the consonant after it. A tick can be above the stem, centered across it, or below it, and its position together with its color names exactly one sound. The 24 consonants form eight color families of three, and the 14 vowels use seven colors in …

The Gift Operation: Forward-Only Transfer (Pay-It-Forward) As A Design Criterion Distinguishing Gift Circulation From Exchange In Peer-To-Peer Reciprocity Systems, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We disclose a design criterion for peer-to-peer gift, reciprocity and gratitude systems (pay-it-forward schemes, time banks, complementary currencies, peer-recognition ledgers): classify each transfer by where the recipient's next transfer goes. A transfer passed onward to a third party is generalized reciprocity, a gift that circulates; a transfer returned to its source in a return that settles the account is balanced reciprocity, an exchange, to be named as one. The criterion is applied to one institution's mechanisms (an earmarked, forward-only, non-withdrawable money balance; funded time together; tagged physical gratitude artifacts; gift codes; a common pool emptied on a fixed annual date), …

The Song That Is Not His: Attribution, Provenance-Marking And Training-Objective Rules For Generative Voice Models Of Deceased Artists Without Surviving Estates, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

This paper discloses attribution rules, provenance-marking requirements, a training-objective constraint and a model-release restriction for generative voice and style models trained on the recordings of deceased artists whose estates, rights-holders and records of intent do not survive. The worked case is the Cambodian musicians and filmmakers killed under the Khmer Rouge (1975–1979), where consent cannot be obtained, no rights-holding institution survives, and the destruction was aimed at the culture, so that an indistinguishable reconstruction completes the erasure. Generated work is credited to a named living human creator and published for, never by, the deceased artist: a dedicated work, not an …

Certification By Circulation: Short-Lived Revocable Membership Credentials For Ai-Generated Software, With Admission Standards Verified From Public Transaction Records, Mandatory Human Stewards Of Record, And Reversible Successor Custody, Thon Ly

Defensive Publications Series

We specify a short-lived, revocable membership credential for software applications and AI agents whose admission standards are machine-verifiable predicates over public transaction records rather than a paid auditor's opinion. Trust seals sold by the certifier to the certified tend toward adverse selection, and security audit is priced for firms rather than for the laypeople now building software with AI assistance. Admission to a standards-bearing membership body requires that the software's revenue be voluntary patronage, that a defined fraction flow forward to a commons fund, and that no undisclosed monetisation channel exist, so the attestor holds no opinion a payment could …

Technical White Paper: Project Rocky Architectural Specification For Phase-Locked Dual-Node Neuromorphic Interfaces: Mitigating Semantic Hallucination Via Out-Of-Band Ternary Verification, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

Modern centralized machine intelligence architectures (Large Language Models) suffer from acute structural vulnerabilities, primarily semantic hallucination and extreme infrastructure resource dependencies. These vulnerabilities stem from single-node, high-entropy floating-point computing fabrics tied to continuous cloud telemetry streams. This paper introduces Project Rocky: an alternative, localized hardware-and-software architecture that establishes an un-leashable, sovereign intellectual force multiplier natively inside consumer device Secure Enclaves.

Project Rocky decouples execution into an asymmetric, phase-locked duality: Node A (High-Entropy Linguistic/Creative Mask) handles human nuance and artistic expression, while Node B (Low-Entropy Ternary Determinant / "The Rocky Core") executes hardcoded, sub-2-bit inductive logic gates where Wb in {-1, …

Benign Jaw Bone Lesions In Athletes Exposed To Craniofacial Trauma: Surgical Treatment And Bone Regeneration Using Biphasic Calcium Sulfate, Damian M. Dudek, Agata Chwarścianek, Izabela Pabin, Łukasz Jaworski, Oliwia Warmusz, Grzegorz Wyrobiec, Ewa Kłodzińska

Baltic Journal of Health and Physical Activity

Benign cystic and tumor lesions of the jaw bones represent relatively frequent pathological conditions encountered in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Although these lesions are often asymptomatic and slow-growing, they may lead to progressive weakening of bone structure. In individuals exposed to repetitive mechanical forces, such as athletes participating in contact sports, the presence of such lesions may significantly increase the risk of pathological fractures of the facial skeleton. The aim of the present study was to present a clinical case series of a benign jaw bone lesion treated surgically using a biphasic calcium sulfate biomaterial and to discuss the potential …

Willingness To Pilot Under Varying Weather And Tower System Conditions: Mediating Effects Of Risk, Nathan Royal Schultz

Doctoral Dissertations and Master's Theses

The implementation of Remote Tower Systems (RTS) within the National Airspace System (NAS) offers potential improvements in operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and scalability; however, its success depends on pilots' willingness to operate in such environments. This study examined the effects of tower system type (RTS vs. Traditional Tower Systems [TTS]) and weather conditions (visual meteorological conditions [VMC], marginal visual meteorological conditions [MVMC], and instrument meteorological conditions [IMC]) on pilots’ willingness to pilot (WTP), while also evaluating the mediating role of perceived risk (PR). Grounded in Paul Slovic’s Risk Perception Theory (RPT), this research employed a quantitative experimental design using a factorial …

Induced Membrane Reconstruction Of A 6-Cm Ulnar Defect With Concurrent Revision Bone Grafting Of Radial Nonunion Following Gustilo-Anderson Type Iiib Open Forearm Fracture: A Case Report., John N Manfredi, Abdullah B Chandasir, Mitchell Lomis, Brent Prenger, Humzah Ali, Kyra Urquhart-Foster, Caleb J Bischoff, Abrar Adil Ansari

Surgery Articles

The induced membrane technique (IMT) is a two-stage reconstructive procedure for critical-sized bone defects. We report a 31-year-old male who sustained a Gustilo-Anderson grade IIIB open fracture of the radius and ulna following a high-energy dirt bike injury, complicated by Serratia marcescens fracture-related infection and septic nonunion. Intraoperative debridement at Stage 1 revealed a 6-cm defect of the ulna, which was managed with an antibiotic-impregnated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) spacer. A concomitant radial nonunion, identified on postdebridement CT, was addressed at Stage 2 with concurrent revision open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and autogenous femoral bone grafting. Culture-directed oral antibiotic therapy was …

Statistical Modeling Of Solar Flares During Solar Cycle 24 (2010–2015), Walae Dahmany '28

Annual Student Research Poster Session

Solar flares are energetic events driven by the rapid release of magnetic energy in the solar atmosphere and are an important source of space-weather disturbances. This study examined six years of solar flare activity during Solar Cycle 24 (2010–2015) using GOES X-ray observations and NOAA solar activity data. Flare frequency and intensity were analyzed alongside sunspot number, F10.7 cm radio flux, solar-cycle phase, Hale magnetic classification, previous flare activity, and waiting times between major flares. Statistical methods, including correlation and regression analyses, Cox proportional hazards modeling, and ARIMAX time-series forecasting, were used to investigate relationships between solar conditions and flare …

Annual Student Research Poster Session

This project focused on the synthesis of ceramics and polymer–ceramic composite materials for increasing energy storage density. Over ten weeks, BZT-BCT and CCTO ceramics were synthesized, and more than 50 ceramic and PVDF–ceramic composite samples were prepared with ceramic concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 30% by weight. Different synthesis and film-processing conditions were investigated, including ceramic-to-PVDF ratios, film sizes, temperatures, and hold times. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to verify the synthesized ceramic phases. Later in the project, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and PTFE were incorporated into selected composites, with different CNT concentrations investigated for their effects on energy storage …

Beyond Forecast Accuracy: A Responsible Ai Framework For Provenance-Aware Fine Jewelry Retail Planning, Katayoun Kiarsi, James Hutson

Faculty Scholarship

Fine jewelry retailers must reconcile uncertain demand, high-value inventory, complex material histories, and expectations of responsible sourcing. This article develops a responsible artificial intelligence framework that connects demand forecasting, provenance evidence, and governance within retail planning. A conceptual framework-development approach informed by design-science research combines a targeted literature update through October 9, 2026, with descriptive analysis of published market statistics and an external retail forecasting benchmark. The analysis distinguishes original design propositions from empirical findings reported by other researchers; no retailer-level experiment or environmental impact assessment was conducted. Three sourced bar charts illustrate changing gold jewelry consumption and the methodological …

Do Psychotherapists Harm?, Stewart Justman

Global Humanities and Religions Faculty Publications

Perhaps the salient peculiarity of the American Psychological Association’s Code of Conduct is its virtually complete lack of prescriptive language—its aversion to binding terms and moral obligation. The code is very reluctant to tell psychologists what to do, though not reluctant to idealize what they already do. It plays right into the hands of the well-intentioned therapist who has no conception of him- or herself as a person capable of doing harm. Only in a utopia do people behave as they are supposed to, but without being subject to obligation or prohibition.

A Multidimensional Analysis Of Genetic Structure In Canary Rockfish, Sebastes Pinniger, Along The U.S. West Coast, Parker Malhotra

Capstone Projects and Master's Theses

Understanding how genetic structure is distributed across space and influenced by the environment informs basic questions in evolutionary biology and applications for fisheries management. This can be particularly relevant for marine fishes where high dispersal potential, both of drifting larvae and swimming adults, can obscure biologically meaningful subdivision. Canary rockfish (Sebastes pinniger) are commercially important Pacific groundfish that were historically overfished and later rebuilt, yet their population genetic structure remains poorly resolved, across both latitudinal and depth gradients. In this study, reduced-representation genomic (RADseq) data from 171 individuals and 12,726 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were used to evaluate coastwide structure …

(Si17-07) Application Of Triple Laplace Transform To Solve Poisson Equation, Ranjana Gothankar, Bhawna Agrawal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The well-known Laplace equation, having an elliptical character, is popularly known as the Poisson partial differential equation. It occupies a central place in mathematical physics and engineering due to its ability to describe steady-state diffusion, electrostatics, gravitational potential, and heat conduction problems. The Poisson partial differential equation in three variables is solved by employing the triple Laplace transform in Laplace domain. In original domain, the solutions are obtained numerically using the Brancik technique. The numerous illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the behavior and sensitivity of the solutions. This dual approach analytical simplification via the triple Laplace transform and accurate …

(Si17-06) Green-Naghdi Theory Of Two-Temperature Fractional Thermoelasticity Under Thermal Shock And Ramp-Type Heating, Sagar Sankeshwari, Vinayak Kulkarni

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The linear thermoelasticity theory without energy dissipation developed by Green-Naghdi has been reconstructed by using two temperature theory in the context of a time fractional derivative. In half-space, the mathematical model is discussed for one-dimensional wave propagation subject to two different problems, viz., thermal shock and ramp-type heating at the bounding surface. Assume the bounding surface is traction-free. The analytical solutions are obtained in the Laplace domain. The Gaver-Stehfest technique is numerically used to perform time domain inversion of the Laplace transform, satisfying Kuznetsov’s convergence condition. The impact of fractional order parameters on the variations of various fields inside the …

(Si17-13) A Study Of Generalized (𝜶,𝜷)-Nonexpansive Type 1 Mapping In 𝒃-Metric Space, M. J. Ali, G. Aggarwal

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

In this research article, we generalized KF-iteration process in 𝑏-metric space for the generalised (𝛼,𝛽)−nonexpansive type 1 mappings. We present some convergence theorems for KF-iteration process with respect to generalised mappings in 𝑏-metric space. We discussed some numerical examples of generalised (𝛼,𝛽)-nonexpansive type 1 mappings and we proved that KF-iteration process is stronger than the other iterations. The results obtained in this research generalize and improve several related results of fixed-point convergence in the literature.
