An Adaptive Geometric Vector Encoding Language And Spatial-Harmonic Compiler For Topological Computing Engines, Christopher L. Eckes
An Adaptive Geometric Vector Encoding Language And Spatial-Harmonic Compiler For Topological Computing Engines, Christopher L. Eckes
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure establishes a non-textual, multi-dimensional machine language and compiling framework optimized for two-dimensional quantum fluid and topological computing substrates. By replacing linear, binary assembly instruction sets (e.g., QASM) with spatial-harmonic vector topologies, programming commands are encoded directly as geometric phase deformations and wave-packet configurations. A bi-directional, reversible semantic compiler architecture is defined to eliminate information erasure latency and satisfy thermodynamic zero-emission constraints during algorithmic runtime execution.

Real-Time Collaborative Generative Music Jamming On A Video Sharing Platform, D. Shin
Real-Time Collaborative Generative Music Jamming On A Video Sharing Platform, D. Shin
Defensive Publications Series
This paper describes a real-time, multi-user music generation platform integrated into a video sharing platform, where many viewers jointly co-create a single evolving musical track during a live session. On such platforms viewers are typically passive consumers, and traditional digital audio workstations impose a high barrier to collaborative music-making. A generative music model synthesizes a cohesive track from simultaneous, heterogeneous inputs, including text prompts, hummed melodies, and Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) data. A harmonic consensus stage projects these inputs into a shared harmonic latent space, resolving conflicts among competing inputs into a single harmonic guide that fixes a unified …
Pipeline-Based Data Processing Method, System, And Hardware Apparatus, Jinhui Wu
Pipeline-Based Data Processing Method, System, And Hardware Apparatus, Jinhui Wu
Defensive Publications Series
Existing data processing systems universally adopt a centralized computing paradigm that relies on
complex operations, resulting in high computational resource consumption and significant bandwidth
redundancy. This paper proposes a data processing method, system, and hardware apparatus based on a
Pipeline Array, wherein input data is distributed across multiple independent Pipelines. Each Pipeline
independently maintains a state value, compares the input against its state, outputs upon change, Blocks
when unchanged, and independently updates its state value. Founded on the Zero-Computation Property
(core operations are comparison and assignment only), the system comprises Pipeline, State Storage,
Compare, Output Control, and State Update modules. …
A Fluid-Dynamic Architecture For Topological Qubit Protection Against Phononic Decoherence, Christopher L. Eckes
A Fluid-Dynamic Architecture For Topological Qubit Protection Against Phononic Decoherence, Christopher L. Eckes
Defensive Publications Series
This disclosure formalizes a non-particle engineering framework for stabilizing quantum states against environment-induced decoherence using topological surface harmonics. By reinterpreting qubits as localized vertical tension fields on a discrete two-dimensional information fluid substrate (\(z=0\)), phase stability is established via passive geometric vortex compaction and time-periodic (Floquet) symmetry protection fields rather than active physical isolation. Real-world laboratory verification testing protocols using fractional quantum Hall two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs), topological acoustic metamaterials, and cascaded superconducting waveguides are explicitly defined to provide prior art for scalable quantum computing architectures.

Feasibility And Performance Of Aerogravity Assists For Ceres Missions, Divinaa E. Burder
Feasibility And Performance Of Aerogravity Assists For Ceres Missions, Divinaa E. Burder
International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace
This work investigates the feasibility and performance of aerogravity assist (AGA) maneuvers for missions to Ceres, with emphasis on both interplanetary trajectory design and atmospheric flight dynamics. AGAs provide substantially greater turning capability than pure gravity assists by exploiting aerodynamic lift during atmospheric passes, thereby enabling greater heliocentric energy changes than pure gravity assists. To quantify these benefits, this study integrates a broad interplanetary trajectory search with high-fidelity atmospheric performance modeling. Candidate trajectories for launch years 2030–2050 are generated for multiple inner-planet encounter sequences using vehicles with lift-to-drag ratios (L/D) between 1 and 7. Atmospheric flight segments are simulated using …

The Registered Dietitian Nutritionist’S Implementation Of Dysphagia Screening In Clinical Practice: A Commentary, Nicole Wiksten, Holly Estes-Doetsch, Laura C. Boucher, Sarah Rusnak, Kristen M. Roberts
Journal of Dietetic Education
Background: The Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) amended the competencies for the future education model (FEM) in dietetic education to include competency 3.6 stating that the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) must be able to "Initiate and conduct bedside swallow screenings". There is no clear process for RDNs to implement dysphagia screening in practice or academia. The aim of this review is to inform clinicians and educators on current literature discussing current RDN and speech language pathology approaches to dysphagia screening and to provide a proposed curriculum for implementation of competency 3.6 in clinical practice and academia.

How Philip K. Dick Used The Unreliable Narrator To Transport Unwitting Acolytes, Michael Barros, Jordi Smith
How Philip K. Dick Used The Unreliable Narrator To Transport Unwitting Acolytes, Michael Barros, Jordi Smith
Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy
This essay examines the use of the unreliable narrator to transport the reader into narrative worlds, specifically in Philip K. Dick's fiction. By exploring the phenomenon of narrative transportation and the role of emotions in engagement with fiction, we argue that Dick's use of the unreliable narrator significantly engages and transports readers into his narrative worlds. Subsequently, we contend that his belief in the fundamental reality of those worlds is effectively positioning himself as a gatekeeper and mediator between the narrative world and the real world, which sets him, in his mind, as a prophet, using fiction as a tool …

Assessing And Addressing Financial Risk In Capitated Primary Care Contracts, Michael R. Wieck Dba, Laurence Smith, Steven R. Stout Dba
Assessing And Addressing Financial Risk In Capitated Primary Care Contracts, Michael R. Wieck Dba, Laurence Smith, Steven R. Stout Dba
Engaged Management ReView
We employ multivariate statistical modeling and Monte Carlo simulation to study systematic and unsystematic financial risk faced by physician groups under capitated contracts with Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs). We use mixed methods and a standard reimbursement formula for risk-sharing contracts with primary care physicians (PCPs). We find that diversifying risk simply by increasing the size of a practice is insufficient to mitigate risks of large negative cash flows from capitation contracts and can result in financial failure. However, if use of costly medical services by patients is reduced from levels typically experienced under traditional Medicare to the levels of patients …

A Case For Societal Provenance: Marguerite Harper As Told By The Men She Represented, V. Emily Cranwell Deinert
A Case For Societal Provenance: Marguerite Harper As Told By The Men She Represented, V. Emily Cranwell Deinert
Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies
This paper argues for making societal provenance the grounding framework for archival descriptive standards to ensure that important voices already present in archives are no longer buried. This study reclaims from archival obscurity the career of literary agent Marguerite E. Harper to illustrate the need for this expansion. Harper proves strikingly absent from some of the archives for the authors she represented. Likely an unwitting omission from archivists that uncritically accepted the narratives of these male authors, Harper’s erasure provides a potent example of the ways that archival descriptive standards may unintentionally further silence historically marginalized voices within archives. The …
