Caldwell Neuro-Clearance Super-Engine (Cncs-1.0) A Unified Multi-Physics Research Reactor For Non-Thermal Clearance Of Neuro-Toxic Aggregates In Synthetic Tissue Phantoms, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr. Sep 2026

Caldwell Neuro-Clearance Super-Engine (Cncs-1.0) A Unified Multi-Physics Research Reactor For Non-Thermal Clearance Of Neuro-Toxic Aggregates In Synthetic Tissue Phantoms, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

Current neurodegenerative research lacks an integrated benchtop engine capable of simulating the mechanical, electrokinetic, and acoustic parameters required to clear proteinaceous aggregates (Tau tangles, Amyloid-$\beta$ oligomers, and $\alpha$-Synuclein fibrils) from dense extracellular matrices.

CNCS-1.0 fills this gap by coupling acoustic streaming, resonant microbubble shear, amplitude-modulated radiofrequency destabilization, and electrokinetic transport into a single, temperature-locked PEEK-1000 micro-vortex chamber. The system reduces simulated Interstitial Fluid Pressure (IFP) from $25\text{ mmHg}$ down to $\le 6\text{ mmHg}$ in tissue phantoms while driving unidirectional magnetophoretic and acoustic aggregate clearance—all without exceeding a $\Delta T$ of $+0.4^\circ\text{C}$ in the biological matrix.

Incipient Buckling Detection Using Nonlinear System Identification Algorithms: A Comparative Study, Raymond Andrew Swartz, Padmanabh Shridhar Desai Sep 2026

Incipient Buckling Detection Using Nonlinear System Identification Algorithms: A Comparative Study, Raymond Andrew Swartz, Padmanabh Shridhar Desai

Michigan Tech Publications

Structural health monitoring detects and characterizes damage to predict failure, but failures like buckling, which lack signs of damage, are harder to detect. Direct load measurement is costly and complex, especially for dead loads requiring copious sensors and data acquisition hardware. Vibration-based detection is a good alternative because it infers global structural characteristics with fewer sensors. This paper presents a structural health monitoring approach for the detection of incipient buckling in structures due to excessive load conditions. Existing nonlinear modeling algorithms available in commercial software platforms, such as MATLAB and other open-source toolboxes, are leveraged to make this method potentially …


Toxicity Ahead: Forecasting Conversational Derailment On Github, Mia Mohammad Imran, Robert Zita, Rahat Rizvi Rahman, Preetha Chatterjee, Kostadin Damevski Sep 2026

Toxicity Ahead: Forecasting Conversational Derailment On Github, Mia Mohammad Imran, Robert Zita, Rahat Rizvi Rahman, Preetha Chatterjee, Kostadin Damevski

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Toxic interactions in Open Source Software (OSS) communities reduce contributor engagement and threaten project sustainability. Preventing such toxicity before it emerges requires a clear understanding of how harmful conversations unfold. However, most proactive moderation strategies are manual, requiring significant time and effort from community maintainers. To support more scalable approaches, we curate a dataset of 159 derailed toxic threads and 207 non-toxic threads from GitHub discussions. Our analysis reveals that toxicity can be forecast by tension triggers, sentiment shifts, and specific conversational patterns.We present a novel Large Language Model (LLM)-based framework for predicting conversational derailment on GitHub using a two-step …

Debt And Quality Of Life Among Older Adults After Retirement, Josephine Morrow Seegars Sep 2026

Debt And Quality Of Life Among Older Adults After Retirement, Josephine Morrow Seegars

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Understanding debt and the quality of life in older adults after retirement is an important area of concern. Many older adults are forced by escalating debt to reduce spending on essential needs, such as health care, nutrition, and housing, and their physical and mental health is thereby directly compromised. These essential needs represent core social determinants of health, and their erosion under financial strain can have effects on older adults' overall well-being. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of human services practitioners who were actively assisting older adults struggling with debt in …

Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science and Technology (JMEST)

Water-powered funicular railways are an environmentally friendly mode of transport whose efficiency heavily depends on the principle of gravity. However, their operation is vulnerable to natural wind disturbances that can hinder speed or cause a risk of overturning on steep, curved tracks. This study aims to analyse the influence of funicular car model design on the rolling moment exerted on the rails as the car turns to enter a track branch. The research methodology involves aerodynamic simulations using SolidWorks flow simulation, comparing three body models: WAHYUDI, FUNAERO, and AEROFUN. Simulations were conducted with variations in turn angles (10° to 30°) …
