Epistemic Resilience In Ai-Driven Innovation, James C. Ryan, Massimiliano Cappuccio, Effrosyni Georgiadou, Alessandro Lanteri

All Works

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral component of innovation infrastructure, facilitating information retrieval, knowledge recombination, and decision support. While these applications accelerate innovation cycles, they simultaneously obscure evidential provenance, compromise output reliability, and diffuse accountability when algorithmic insights fail. To address these vulnerabilities, this paper introduces the concept of epistemic resilience, defined as an organizational and ecosystem capability to preserve, adapt, and restore trustworthy knowledge processes amid technological disruption, uncertainty, and epistemic risk. Synthesizing literature across innovation management, organizational learning, knowledge management, social epistemology, research integrity, and human–AI collaboration, this study conceptualizes AI-driven innovation as a sociotechnical knowledge process …

Publications

Great Salt Lake (GSL) faces rapid decline that presents more than just a hydrological risk; it poses an existential social hazard. As water levels decline, ecosystems, economies, cultures, and societies face irreversible harm. Since the lake reached its lowest levels in 2022, this issue has specifically gained increased attention in Utah and beyond. Given both the degree to which human consumption contributes to the problem, and the potential risks that the drying of the lake poses for community health, social science research is a crucial for informing successful water management policies and mitigating impacts. The purpose of this report is …

A Principled Approach To Equitable Compensation Undea Principled Approach To Equitable Compensation Under Erisa § 502(A)(3)R Erisa § 502(A)(3), Gabriel Juedemann

University of Chicago Law Review

In many cases, a beneficiary of an employee benefit plan suffers an injury due to a fiduciary’s misfeasance, but the beneficiary does not have a claim under ERISA’s benefit-recovery provision. In these circumstances, the beneficiary’s only path to relief is § 502(a)(3)’s authorization of “appropriate equitable relief.” But whether that provision permits monetary compensation when a beneficiary sues a fiduciary is a question the Supreme Court has not cleanly resolved, and circuit courts have fractured as a result.

This Comment argues that equitable compensation—or surcharge—should be available under § 502(a)(3) when a beneficiary sues a fiduciary, but only under certain …

Administrative Acquiescence: An Analysis Of Nonadverse Litigation Involving Administrative Agencies, Sami Winawer

University of Chicago Law Review

When an administrative agency declines to defend the constitutionality of its structure, courts must grapple with the unusual scenario in which the parties before it agree—or at least do not disagree—on the merits of the constitutional question at issue. This Comment seeks to provide some clarity to this area of the law by proposing a multifactor framework for courts to use at the standing stage when determining the justiciability of a question when the Executive declines to defend a federal statute, and explaining how these factors can be weighed in cases in which an administrative agency declines to defend some …

We Cut To The Chase! Building Consensus For School Librarian Collaboration: A Delphi Study, Pam Harland, Susan D. Ballard, Rachel V. Small

Learning Hub

This study examines collaboration between school librarians and educators using a three-round Delphi study with 38 experts in school librarianship. The researchers developed a consensus definition and a seven-level model of collaboration, ranging from autonomy to schoolwide assurance. The study also identifies environmental, cultural, and dispositional conditions that support successful collaboration, including administrative support, shared planning time, trust, communication, and librarian leadership. The resulting model and rubrics are intended to help educators and school librarians assess and strengthen collaborative practice to support student learning.

The Non-Binding Bind: Reframing Precatory Stockholder Proposals Under Delaware Law, Kyle A. Pinder

Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review

Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 allows stockholders to submit proposals for inclusion in a company’s proxy materials. The rule assumes that Delaware law provides stockholders with the right to submit non-binding proposals for stockholder approval. But as many have observed, this assumption lacks a firm basis in state law, particularly in Delaware. If such a right exists, a stockholder conducting its own proxy solicitation could submit numerous precatory proposals, including those advancing narrow or special interests. This article concludes that, under Delaware law, stockholders do not have an inherent right to submit precatory proposals. Accordingly, a …

Navigating The Eu’S Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive: Strategic Implications For Us Companies, Silvia Ciacchi, Michael Faure, Sharon Oded

Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review

The European Union’s (“EU”) Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (“CSDDD” or the “Directive”) introduces new human rights and environmental obligations that reshape global corporate governance. This paper explores its impact on US companies, with a particular focus on compliance strategies under both direct and indirect applicability. It contrasts tactical compliance, which emphasizes risk mitigation while meeting minimum legal requirements, against strategic compliance, where companies use sustainability to gain a competitive edge in the market.

This paper highlights how varying enforcement levels across EU Member States may incentivize companies to “forum shop” or choose jurisdictions with more relaxed enforcement. It also …

Revisiting The Secretary Problem, Steven J. Brams, D. Marc Kilgour

The Mathematics Enthusiast

The venerable Secretary Problem asks how a decision maker (DM) should select one of n candidates, who come up randomly, when the only information available is each candidate’s strict rank within the set of previous applicants. Moreover, DM may select only the current candidate. Our illustrative case has n = 9 candidates, for which the Standard Method is to reject outright the first 3 candidates and then choose the first of the 4th through 8th candidates who is better than all of the first three, or the 9th candidate if none of them is. We compare the Standard Method with …

Movement Patterns, Habitat Usage, And Apparent Survival Of Alewife And Blueback Herring In The Bellamy River And Great Bay Estuary, Nh, Usa, Ryan Christopher Adams

Master's Theses and Capstones

Anadromous river herring, including alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis) provide critical ecosystem services across freshwater, estuarine, and marine habitats on the Atlantic coast. Population declines in recent decades have led to research and management efforts to improve adult survival and increase access to spawning habitats, primarily focusing on the freshwater phase of migration via barrier removal or remediation projects. Comparatively less research and management effort have investigated post-spawning movement behaviors and habitat usage, which may provide insight into developing successful management strategies. We used telemetry methods to assess barrier passage and track movements of adult river herring …

Soil Microbial Recovery From A Pulse Disturbance Following A Press Disturbance, Gretchen Bahmueller

Master's Theses and Capstones

Though a natural phenomenon, disturbance events like drought and freeze-thaw cycles are increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change. At the forefront of these disturbances are soil microorganisms, which provide essential ecosystem services like carbon and nitrogen cycling. Previous work has reported responses of microbial communities to either a long-term press disturbance or a short-term pulse disturbance, with few studies examining how these disturbance types interact to influence microbial activity. This work sought to understand how soil microorganisms recover from a one month-long simulated moisture or freezing disturbance after experiencing 30+ years of soil warming. Heated and control …

Transcriptomic Profiling Of The Actinorhizal Symbiosis: A Dual-Species Approach, Javier Arambula Rascon

Master's Theses and Capstones

The actinorhizal symbiosis, formed between the nitrogen-fixing actinobacterium Frankia and its host plant, depends on a highly coordinated molecular dialogue that governs the transition from initial bacterial perception to the development of functional nitrogen-fixing nodules. Despite decades of progress in characterizing the legume- rhizobia association, the molecular underpinnings of actinorhizal symbiosis establishment remain poorly resolved, particularly the nature of the Frankia signaling molecule and the transcriptional programs that guide both partners toward nodule formation. This thesis narrows this gap through three complementary transcriptomic studies in the model actinorhizal plant Casuarina glauca and its symbiont Frankia casuarinae strain Ccl3. The first …

Using The Plasma Dose-Response Technique To Determine The Bioavailability Of Commercial Rumen-Protected Amino Acids, Tessa Mae Baillargeon

Master's Theses and Capstones

There continues to be gaps in comparing the bioavailability of different rumen-protected methionine and lysine products. Many techniques have been developed to analyze these products with in vivo techniques considered the gold standard. The following three studies were proposed to determine the relative bioavailability value of products containing lysine and various forms of methionine using the plasma dose-response method as described by Whitehouse et al., 2017. Trial one compared two levels (18 g/d and 36 g/d) of L-Met infusion and fed LipoActiv L-Met 60. Trial two compared infusions of, and products containing, DL-Met and HMTBa (2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid). Trial three used …

Childbearing In The Anthropocene: Gendered Fertility Intention In The Context Of Climate Change, Ila Bartenstein

Master's Theses and Capstones

As anthropogenic climate change intensifies, recent studies have observed the extent to which individuals choose to remain “environmentally childfree,” or voluntarily childfree due to the impact the child may have on the environment, and their worry about the child’s wellbeing under climate change. Additional lines of research have noted that pro-environmental behaviors (PEB) – actions taken to reduce environmental harm – follow gendered patterns, with women being more likely than men to engage in PEB. Further, when presented with personal dilemmas that involve refraining from harmful actions, women have been found to express stronger moral reasoning than men. By connecting …

Integrating Unpiloted Aircraft System (Uas)-Based Thermal, Lidar, And True-Color (Rgb) Imagery With Random Forest For Land Cover Classification At A Northern Peatland, Darlyn Chavez

Master's Theses and Capstones

Background: Understanding the impacts of climate change on the Arctic is critical given the sensitivity of its ecosystems. As global temperatures rise and permafrost collapse, significant changes in land cover, hydrology, and carbon dynamics will occur across these vulnerable regions. Because methane emissions are directly influenced by vegetation communities in permafrost peatlands, accurate land cover classification is important for understanding greenhouse-gas (GHG) dynamics. However, these landscapes are highly heterogeneous at fine spatial scales, requiring high-resolution imagery capable of distinguishing simple and complex vegetation and land cover classes relevant to GHG dynamics. Technological advancements in remote sensing offer modern tools for …

Understanding The Functionality Of Tuberculate Ectomycorrhiza Of Quercus Species Within The Context Of Soil Warming, Andre David Chiang

Master's Theses and Capstones

Tuberculate ectomycorrhizae (TECM) of oak are understudied, morphologically unique ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal structures whose initial observation at the Harvard Forest long-term ecological research site (Petersham, MA) were confined strictly to warmed plots. This study provided the first quantification of oak-associated TECM under experimental warming, characterizing their lifecycle and ecological role. We quantified and characterized TECM over three sampling periods during the growing season (May, June, August) of 2025 at two soil warming experiments at Harvard Forest: Barre Woods and Prospect Hill. We also identified the fungi associated with TECM structures, along with sclerotia found in the same samples. We quantified …

Using Open-Top Chambers To Study The Effects Of Winter Warming On Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Cover-Cropped Agricultural Soils, Kayleigh A. Hummel

Master's Theses and Capstones

Climate change is threatening the stability of Earth’s food systems. Global temperatures are expected to rise by up to 4.8 °C by the end of the century, leading to a reduction in crop yields. This climate crisis is driven in part by emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from agricultural systems. In order to face this challenge, we will need to employ agricultural management practices that allow for climate adaptation while also mitigating agriculture’s impact on the climate. Cover cropping is an emerging practice that has the potential to both improve soil health and offset greenhouse gas …

Survival And Behavior Of Intertidal Eastern Oysters In Great Bay, New Hampshire, Selina Luo Cheng

Master's Theses and Capstones

Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are ecologically and economically important reef-building bivalves that support estuarine habitats as well as United States fisheries and aquaculture farms. While eastern oysters occur subtidally throughout their range, intertidal oysters are uncommon north of the Chesapeake Bay. Recent research has shown that rockweed Ascophyllum nodosum may facilitate eastern oyster expansion into the intertidal zone at northern latitudes, but mechanisms underlying this interaction are poorly understood. Characterizing intertidal oyster survival and behavior is key to better understanding their distributions in the northeastern United States. In Chapter 1, we conducted a full-factorial field experiment across seasons in Great …
