The Black Hole Of Capital Gains: Etf Swap Funds, Jeffrey M. Colon

DePaul Law Review

ETFs have begun to challenge mutual funds as the dominant

U.S. public pooled asset vehicle. Their constant liquidity, exposure

to an ever-widening range of investment strategies, and highly

touted tax efficiency have driven the explosive growth in the assets

under management of ETFs over the last fifteen years. The tax

efficiency is due to Section 852(b)(6), which permits ETFs to

distribute appreciated property tax free and eliminate all fund-level

taxable gains even while making portfolio adjustments, which

mutual funds cannot do.

Fund sponsors have developed various strategies to exploit the

benefits of Section 852(b)(6), with the newest being the launch …

Students’ Perceptions At The University Of Puerto Rico Secondary School Regarding Cellphone Use In The School Environmen, Nicolás Ramos, Nydiaam Vilanova

IALS Journal

This mixed-methods study investigates students’ perceptions of cellphone use at the University of Puerto Rico Secondary School. Data were collected from 133 students through a structured electronic survey examining phone ownership, usage patterns, emotional responses, parental regulation, and opinions regarding cellphone restrictions in schools. Results indicate that most students perceive their cellphone use as appropriate, recognize both educational and social benefits, and oppose complete bans while supporting responsible use and guided autonomy. The findings suggest that schools should emphasize digital citizenship, self-regulation, and balanced technology use rather than punitive restrictions.

Does Reporting Of Israeli Organ Harvesting Constitute Blood Libelous Folklore, And Why Does It Matter?, Simon J. Bronner

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

Global news reporting of “organ harvesting” by Israeli soldiers for medical institutions in the twenty-first century is analyzed as “newslore,” defined by folklorist- journalist Russell Frank as “folklore that comments on, and is therefore indecipherable without knowledge of, current events.” Built on hearsay, the reports, especially in the Arab press during the Israel-Hamas War, begun in 2023, have connections to a complex of antisemitic “blood libel” narratives in Europe about Jews violating the bodies of Christian children. The accusations of organ harvesting invoked a number of antisemitic tropes that were visually conveyed globally through memes and posts on the internet, …

Words Of War: The Rhetorical Weapons Of Folklore After October 7, Steve Siporin

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

The chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” became well known after the beginning of the Israel-Hamas War (October 7, 2023) due to its widespread use at anti-Israel demonstrations and on news broadcasts, social media, and YouTube videos. A retort that mocked the inability of demonstrators who espoused the slogan to answer the questions “Which river? Which sea?” also circulated widely. Noncombatants on the domestic front relied on these two items of folklore (among others), a chant and a retort, to support their aims and satisfy their emotions. This essay traces the origins of each of …

Jewish Women’S Folk Memory Of Argentine Schooldays, 1900–1955, Jacqueline Laznow

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

This essay explores the folkloric formation of Jewish-Argentine female identity through schoolyard experiences and domestic resistance in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on interviews with women who later made aliyah, the study analyzes these accounts as personal experience narratives, arguing that painful memories of antisemitism and “otherness” are cognitively restructured through folk processes into a symbolic frame for communal interpretation. These narratives function as “legend discourse,” sparking commentary and intergenerational transmission, and serve as mechanisms for reconstructing daily life within a dominant Christian culture. They reveal a “hyphenated” Jewish-Argentine identity reimagined from the perspective of the narrators’ …

Folk Narratives Of “The Wandering Jew” (Atu 777) In Latvian Folklore, Svetlana Pogodina

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

This essay reports field-collected texts of “The Wandering Jew” (ATU 777) recorded in the twentieth century in Latvia to determine if they are distinctive within the global tradition of the folk narrative. The Archives of Latvian Folklore (Latviešu folkloras krātuve) collection contains versions of the narrative recorded in the 1920s and 1930s. These texts have not previously been published in English translation. An interpretation is made that the narratives borrow elements from Jewish stereotypes that exist in a local folklore tradition. Comparing the Latvian material to the European and Slavic versions of the story of the Eternal Jew, a major …

Introduction: The Folklore And Ethnology Of Antisemitism, Simon J. Bronner

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

A global rise in incidents and beliefs in the twenty-first century that monitoring and polling organizations label “antisemitic” raises several questions addressed by contributors to this special issue. A basic one is definitional regarding discourse about the shifting meaning of antisemitism in light of post-Holocaust events and digital age communication. A historical question is whether contemporary forms of antisemitism are connected to or a break from the term’s nineteenth-century roots. Related to that issue in modern discourse is whether antisemitism is an umbrella concept or separate from anti-Judaism, anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, and anti-Zionism movements. The materials of folklore—both as esoteric forms …

Impulse Batching For Machine Learning Workloads, Jaideep Singh, Gaurang Upasani, Sushma Honnavara Prasad, Tapan Chugh, Arvind Krishnamurthy

Defensive Publications Series

Power consumption is a significant constraint in the effective deployment of machine learning computing hardware. The use of eager batching for ML serving can cause ML Accelerator (MLA) system process sub-optimal batches for a majority of ML workloads. This can result in very high duty cycles and provides limited opportunities for power saving. This disclosure describes impulse batching techniques for ML serving. Impulse batching exploits peaks and troughs in the diurnal cycle. Under impulse batching, queries that arrive within a configurable duration X are grouped into larger batch sizes, especially at lower query per second (QPS) values prior to being …

Extending Label Distribution Protocol To Support Interior Gateway Protocol Flexible Algorithm, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Systems and methods extend the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) to support an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algo). A Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is redefined as a composite key based on an Internet Protocol (IP) prefix together with an algorithm identifier, and the composite key is carried in a Flex-Algo Prefix FEC Element within an LDP Label Mapping message. A router allocates and advertises multiple distinct local labels for the same destination prefix, with each label mapped to a different IGP algorithm. LDP peers negotiate Flex-Algo support during session establishment using a capability indication carried in an LDP Initialization …

Design And Structural Architecture Of A Non-Equilibrium Hydrothermal Liquefaction Reactor Utilizing Multi-Stage Wave-Field Catalysis And Fluidized Acoustic Boundary Transport, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical design paper presents the formalized architecture for a continuous-flow, process-intensified Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) system designed to convert heterogeneous, highly viscous organic waste streams—such as municipal sewage sludge, microplastics, and halogenated industrial wastes—into drop-in synthetic biocrude and valuable chemical fractions.

Legacy HTL systems suffer from severe, interlocking mechanical liabilities: thermal boundary-layer coking, flow stagnation, extreme chloride/fluoride corrosion, and rapid catalytic deactivation via structural sintering. This architecture systematically bypasses these limits by abandoning static reactor geometry and internal dynamic mechanical components.

The physical configuration relies on a vertical, gravity-assisted cascade of high-pressure, un-equilibrated spherical reaction vessels constructed from high-performance alloys …

Additionally, when NTN communications resources are used, the system may identify one or more suitable departure times such that travel coincides with favorable NTN coverage across the route. Thus, the system accesses map and travel data, terrestrial network coverage maps, NTN coverage maps and schedules, …

Building A Self-Reinforcing Open-Hardware Engineering Ecosystem A Modular Systems Method Where Every New Invention Strengthens The Entire Portfolio, Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

 Most inventions are developed as isolated systems. A different approach is possible: designing an interconnected engineering ecosystem where each invention is built from reusable modules, and every improvement to a shared module strengthens multiple systems across the portfolio.

This document describes a methodology for creating self-reinforcing open-hardware architectures through modular design, shared subsystems, cross-domain integration, and continuous refinement.

The goal is not to replace traditional engineering validation. Instead, this approach creates a structured pathway where concepts become easier to prototype, evaluate, improve, and adapt through shared engineering foundations.

Crc-Based Dynamic Te Metric Adjustment And Recovery Mechanism For Rsvp-Te Tunnels, Abhishek Garg, Jaiesh Thapar, Rajeev Anand

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a proactive traffic engineering recovery mechanism for Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) tunnels based on physical-layer link degradation indicators, such as cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors. Existing RSVP-TE and transport control-plane mechanisms generally react only after hard failures, such as link-down events, loss of signal, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) timeout, or RSVP signaling timeout. However, high-speed optical and packet networks may experience soft failures in which a link remains operationally up while packet corruption or error rates increase due to fiber degradation, dirty connectors, optic issues, or other physical-layer impairments. In such cases, traffic continues …
