Enhanced Optical Supervisory Channel (Osc) Safety Verification For Automatic Laser Shutoff Systems, Anonymous
Enhanced Optical Supervisory Channel (Osc) Safety Verification For Automatic Laser Shutoff Systems, Anonymous
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure addresses critical safety vulnerabilities associated with Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC) systems used for Automatic Laser Safety Shutoff (ALSO) in optical networks. Existing methods assume correct OSC connectivity based solely on manual provisioning, which poses significant risks of unsafe amplifier operation during fiber disruptions. This disclosure introduces two novel methods—OSC_noConfig and OSC Connection Validation (CV)—to robustly verify OSC connectivity. The OSC_noConfig method automatically detects missing OSC provisioning, simplifying safety shutoff criteria to a single-term threshold, thereby ensuring safe amplifier shutdown even when OSC messages are unreliable. The OSC CV method utilizes precise on-off keying signaling to confirm correct OSC …

A total of 32 mortar mixes were designed with water-to-binder (w/b) ratios ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 and varied replacement levels of RHA (0-20%), GGBS …
No. 44: Tracking Translocality: Food Remittance Narratives In The Africa-Gulf Migration Corridor, Bernard Owusu, Jonathan Crush
No. 44: Tracking Translocality: Food Remittance Narratives In The Africa-Gulf Migration Corridor, Bernard Owusu, Jonathan Crush
Migration and Food Security (MiFOOD) Network
This paper explores the overlooked practice of food-related remittances in the Ghana-Qatar migration corridor, emphasizing their social, emotional, and cultural significance within translocal households. While cash remittances are widely studied, food remitting remains under-researched despite its critical role in sustaining family ties and addressing food insecurity. Drawing on a mixed-methods study involving household surveys in Ghana and interviews with migrants in Qatar, the paper employs a tripartite conceptual framework incorporating gifting, caregiving, and moral economy to analyze migrant remittance narratives. The paper shows that remitting practices are shaped by cultural norms, kinship obligations, and emotional care, often at significant personal …
The Effect Of Music On Cognitive Function In Academic Performance Among College Students., Jakob A. Clegg
The Effect Of Music On Cognitive Function In Academic Performance Among College Students., Jakob A. Clegg
McNair Scholars Research
Students frequently listen to music during cognitively demanding tasks such as reading, writing, and studying. Research has shown that music can offer therapeutic benefits. For example, Wang et al. (2025) demonstrated the effectiveness of music-centered therapy in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Similarly, Arnaud et al. (2013) found that music has a measurable impact on students’ cognitive performance during study sessions. This pilot study explores how different music genres influence memory retention and cognitive function among college students. Using a survey method, participants (n=16) listened to an assigned genre of music (classical, rock, or Lo-Fi), or a control group …

The rapid proliferation of electronic cigarettes (ECs) has raised significant concerns about their potential health effects on both users and bystanders. This study systematically investigates the impact of EC aerosol exposure on human alveolar epithelial cells (A549), considering variations in device parameters, nicotine concentration, and exposure type. Using a gravity-based air–liquid interface exposure system, we assessed cytotoxicity and epithelial barrier integrity by measuring cell viability and transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER). Our results indicate that EC aerosol exposure significantly reduces cell viability and disrupts monolayer integrity in a dose- and device-dependent manner. Notably, VUSE (pod-type) exposure led to a 16% decrease …
Why Seek Profits?: A Missional Perspective On Business, Jooho Lee
Why Seek Profits?: A Missional Perspective On Business, Jooho Lee
All Faculty Open Access Publications
There are plenty of good reasons to be suspicious about profit-seeking. There are also good reasons to be suspicious about attempts to justify the pursuit of profits by focusing solely on the value of profits or of the work that produces the profits. Nevertheless, there is a good reason for the Christian to engage in profit-seeking: it can be a way to participate more fully in the missio Dei. Profit-seeking plays a central role within the market process by communicating and incentivizing a certain way of relating to the material and social world. When we realize profits in ways that …

Theoretical Study On Electronic And Optoelectronic Properties Of Some C^N^N- And C^C^C-Chelated Iridium(Iii) Complexes For Oleds, Ayhan Üngördü
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The electronic and optoelectronic properties of 8 C∧N∧N- and C∧C∧C-chelated Ir(III) complexes were investigated using density functional theory at the Becke-style 3-parameter Lee-Yang-Par and triple zeta plus polarization level. Based on reorganization energy calculations, complex 7 was identified as a promising ambipolar material, while complexes 1 and 2 had efficient hole transport properties. Complex 8 had low ionization potential and is therefore a strong candidate for hole transport applications. Complex 4 had high electron affinity and therefore has potential as an effective electron acceptor material. Photophysical analysis showed that all complexes had phosphorescent properties, with complexes 5 and 6 showing …
Optimizing Polyamide Thin-Film Composite Desalination Membranes: Simple And Performance-Effective Modification By Zwitterionic Monohydroxyl Monomer, Selda Erkoç İlter
Optimizing Polyamide Thin-Film Composite Desalination Membranes: Simple And Performance-Effective Modification By Zwitterionic Monohydroxyl Monomer, Selda Erkoç İlter
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
A synthesized zwitterionic monohydroxyl monomer (ZHM) was used as an additive to incorporate zwitterionic sulfobetaine groups into the polyamide (PA) active layers of thin-film composite membranes. Incorporation of ZHM into the PA active layers was achieved through interfacial polymerization, involving the introduction of ZHM and m-phenylenediamine (MPD) into the aqueous phase, and the addition of trimesoyl chloride (TMC) to the hexane phase. The surfaces of the resulting reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were subjected to characterization through water contact angle (WCA) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses. The successful incorporation of ZHM into the active PA layers was confirmed …
Comprehensive Study Of Imidazole-Based Hydrazones: From Design, Synthesis, And Characterization To In Vitro And In Silico Antiproliferative Activity Analysis, Ömer Di̇lek
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
The aim of this study was to synthesize novel imidazole-cored hydrazones and investigate their cytotoxic activities against human breast and lung cancer cell lines using in vitro and in silico techniques. For this purpose, 5 novel compounds (6 and 7a–7d) were synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed using spectroscopic methods. The cytotoxic effects were evaluated against human lung (A549) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines using the MTT assay. All synthesized compounds had higher cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells (IC50 < 9.262 μM) than the control drug cisplatin. However, their cytotoxic activity against A549 cells (IC50 > 2.605 μM) was lower than that of cisplatin. Except for compound 7d in the A549 cell line, …

A Decision Model For Enhancing Reaction Yield: Pd(Ii) And Pt(Ii) Metal Insertion To Free Porphyrin, Özay Özaydin, Emel Önal
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Chemical synthesis experiments are crucial for developing new materials, yet their inherent complexity and variability often lead to suboptimal results, causing significant resource and time wastage. This study proposes a novel decision support model to enhance the success rate of macromolecule synthesis experiments for sensor applications. The model leverages principles of experimental design and decision-making. We identified synthesis alternatives through a literature review and expert consultations, narrowing it down to 6 alternatives for metal salts, 3 for reactant mole ratios, 5 for organic solvents, 3 for reaction temperatures, and 4 for reaction times. Considering the time and cost constraints, this …
