Polymer Production From Biogenic Feedstocks, Natalie M. Durdle Miss

Defensive Publications Series

  1. This document outlines a standardized, closed-loop biological framework for manufacturing high-tensile structural fibers capable of supporting high-altitude or orbital infrastructure. The pipeline eliminates the requirement for traditional heavy industrial refinery infrastructure by utilizing a re-engineered multi-organism bacterial substrate. Through co-cultured metabolic pathways, engineered microorganisms systematically convert base carbon inputs into volatile propane and ammonia gases. These gases are captured, reacted via ammoxidation, and carbonized to generate advanced carbon-fiber matrices suitable for aerospace tether deployments.

Reactive Mid-Session Expansion Of A Multi-Agent Large-Language-Model Team Under Bounded Admission And Guaranteed-Termination Phase Constraints, With Cross-Session Agent Reincarnation, Antonio Gallego Sáez, Juan Cazila

Defensive Publications Series

In the context of multi-agent artificial intelligence (AI) environments in which a supervisor large language model (LLM) agent participates in a bounded collaborative reasoning session alongside a pre-declared team of specialist LLM agents, a system is proposed herein that dynamically spawns agents on demand by allowing the supervisor LLM agent to emit structured spawn directives during selected phases of a session. The team of specialist LLM agents can thereby expand in response to domain gaps discovered during the session while remaining subject to bounded-admission and guaranteed-termination constraints.

Policy-Graph Audit Method For Algorithmic Collusion Detection In Multi-Agent Pricing Systems, Anonymous Jul 2026

Policy-Graph Audit Method For Algorithmic Collusion Detection In Multi-Agent Pricing Systems, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

A computer-implemented audit evaluates collusion risk in multi-agent reinforcement-learning pricing systems by analyzing the full counterfactual structure of trained policies rather than only observed price traces. Trained policies are frozen into deterministic greedy action mappings over a discrete joint market state space. A deterministic successor mapping is computed for each joint state to form a directed functional graph with one outgoing edge per state. The graph is decomposed into attractor cycles and basins of attraction that partition the state space. Each attractor is assigned an elevation score based on mean cycle price relative to reference Nash and joint-profit-maximizing price levels, …


Integrated System For Parallel Codebook Generation Via Discrete Flow Matching With Latent-Compressed Encoder States And Fused Gpu Kernel Execution, Anonymous Jul 2026

Integrated System For Parallel Codebook Generation Via Discrete Flow Matching With Latent-Compressed Encoder States And Fused Gpu Kernel Execution, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

Systems and methods generate multi-codebook semantic identifiers for generative retrieval using parallel discrete flow matching, latent-compressed encoder conditioning, and fused GPU execution. A user context is encoded to an encoder representation E, which is compressed to a latent-compressed encoder state cKV = E * Wdown with dc << D. N candidate discrete states over K codebooks are initialized from noise and iteratively denoised for T steps, updating all K codebook positions in parallel according to per-codebook schedules sigma_k(t) = t^{alpha_k} with learnable alpha_k. Cross-attention conditioning is computed over cKV using absorbed projection operations. Flow updates and candidate scoring execute within a single fused GPU kernel launch that may be persistent, retaining cKV in on-chip cache across steps and selecting top-n outputs.


Power-Efficient Packet Aggregation For Wireless Radio During Low-Power Processor Data Offload Via Throughput-Mismatched Interface, Anonymous Jul 2026

Power-Efficient Packet Aggregation For Wireless Radio During Low-Power Processor Data Offload Via Throughput-Mismatched Interface, Anonymous

Defensive Publications Series

A wireless radio buffers packets received from a low-power processor over a lower-throughput host interface while keeping radio-frequency (RF) hardware in a low-power state. Firmware on the wireless radio detects a first packet arrival and starts a single-shot aggregation timer. Subsequent packets received during the timer interval are accumulated in a local buffer without powering the RF hardware. When the timer expires, the firmware activates RF circuitry and transmits the accumulated packets as a high-throughput over-the-air burst. After the burst, the aggregation timer is not re-armed, allowing later packets to be transmitted without added aggregation delay. The timer duration may …

Exploring Hotel Sustainability Through A Service Design Lens: An Espoused Theory Vs. Theory-In-Use Perspective, Cindy Yoonjoung Heo, Jaehyun Park, Sanqi Yang, Chen Ni, Lei Tang, Lei Yu, Julneth Rogenhofer, Geraldine Assen

ICHRIE Research Reports

Sustainability is now widely embedded in hotel strategies, but it is often assessed through what hotels communicate rather than what guests actually experience. This study examines that disconnect by drawing on Argyris and Schön’s distinction between espoused theory and theory-in-use, combined with a service design perspective. Using document analysis alongside in-situ observations at the front desk and in guest rooms, the study looks at how sustainability appears across service touchpoints and whether it is likely to be noticed and understood by guests. The findings suggest that many initiatives are operationally in place but remain largely out of sight during the …

Pricing Hawaii: When Discounts, Fees, And Transparency Collide In Hotel Pricing, Kody Dominguez, Ingrid Lin

ICHRIE Research Reports

This report examines how hotel pricing structures in Hawaiʻi; specifically, Kamaʻāina discounts, visitor rates, and destination fees interact to shape perceptions of fairness, transparency, and booking behavior.

Using survey data from 192 respondents and a pricing audit of 57 properties in Oahu, Hawaii, the findings reveal a structural disconnect between pricing intent and guest experience. While Kamaʻāina discounts range from 20–30%, mandatory destination fees averaging $37.69 significantly erode realized savings, particularly at mid-tier price points. As a result, 62% of residents perceive hotel pricing as unfair, compared to 27% of visitors, and nearly 70% of respondents report abandoning bookings due …


Beyond The Aisle: The Essential Guide For Event Planners To Navigate Cultural Diversity In Weddings, Ellee N. Marsh, Mary Olle Dr. Jul 2026

Beyond The Aisle: The Essential Guide For Event Planners To Navigate Cultural Diversity In Weddings, Ellee N. Marsh, Mary Olle Dr.

Guests Attitude And Purchase Intention Towards Hotel Brand Extension, Daegeun Kim, Eun-Kyong (Cindy) Choi, Tanya Ruetzler, James Taylor

ICHRIE Research Reports

Brand extension is widely used among firms and hotels to launch new products using their parent brand name, making it important for practitioners to understand which factors influence consumers' attitude toward brand extension (ATT). This study investigated the role of consumer brand identity (CBI) in guests' attitude leading to purchase intention (PUR) for hotel vacation rentals. Findings suggest that CBI was a positive antecedent of perceived fit (PF) and tie (PT), which positively influenced ATT. Additionally, parent brand conviction and quality were identified as factors that positively influenced ATT and led to PUR. As the first study on hotel vacation …

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Objectives: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) share common atherosclerotic pathways. However, the clinical significance of headache absence during stress testing remains unexplored. We investigated whether the absence of headache during pharmacological stress testing reflects the presence of subtle cerebrovascular atherosclerosis detectable by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD).

Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 225 patients with CAD undergoing pharmacological stress testing with TCD and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) at centers in Egypt (Cardiology Department, Fayoum University). Patients were stratified by headache status during stress testing. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis identified independent predictors of abnormal TCD …

Health-Gated Deploy-Authority Reconciler, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Health-Gated Deploy-Authority Reconciler, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

This document discloses a post-deploy reconciler that keeps a single, high-blast-radius production workload converged to an authorized image without reverting legitimate, healthy, out-of-band deployments. A short-interval reconciliation job reads a mutable, agent-writable in-cluster authority record — carrying an authorized image, a deploy-in-progress flag, a holder identity and a reason — and compares it against the live workload's running image and the readiness of its serving pod. The reconciler's corrective action is gated on a conjunction predicate: it reverts the workload to the authorized image only when the running image differs from the authorized image AND the serving pod is not …


Dual-Plane Inbound Email Delivery, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Dual-Plane Inbound Email Delivery, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

This publication discloses, enablingly and in dated public form, a mechanism for inbound email delivery that simultaneously serves a human mail client and an autonomous software agent from a single ingress event, without duplicating the message, forking the pipeline, or degrading store fidelity. One webhook endpoint accepts two payload shapes — raw MIME posted as base64 by a byte-preserving edge worker, or already-parsed legacy JSON — and discriminates between them at runtime by the presence of a non-empty raw carrier field. Threading headers (Message-ID, In-Reply-To, References, Cc) are extracted continuation-aware directly off the raw bytes so that RFC 5322 folded …


Provenance-Tiered Database Serve-Override Cms Over Immutable Container Assets, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Provenance-Tiered Database Serve-Override Cms Over Immutable Container Assets, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

This document discloses, as enabling public prior art, a content-management mechanism that layers a database-backed content overlay on top of an immutable set of static assets baked into a container image. A single GET-only "serve-override" resolver, keyed on the tuple (slug, locale, audience), returns a published database row when one exists and otherwise falls through to the baked file. The image is the read-only floor; the running pod is never written at request time. Two structural properties are central. First, a reserved-slug set — authentication, session, and OAuth callback paths — is never overridable, so security-critical routes always execute baked, …


Deterministic Stateless Digital-Twin Rendering Of A Live Ai-Agent Workforce With Ledger-Windowed Replay, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Deterministic Stateless Digital-Twin Rendering Of A Live Ai-Agent Workforce With Ledger-Windowed Replay, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

This document discloses, with enabling detail sufficient for a person of ordinary skill to build it, a method and system for rendering a live, game-like visualization of a workforce of autonomous software agents in which every visual property is a pure deterministic function of operational records and the renderer holds no game state. Avatar state resolves by an active-work-wins-over-the-clock precedence; deterministic hashing places desks and picks palette swatches with a bounded collision-walk over the true floor grid; an ambient night tint is computed from the share of off-shift ("dreaming") agents plus the server hour, never a viewer's clock; ledger events …


Spec-Less Differential Api/Rbac Conformance Scanner With Source-As-Oracle Auth Probing, Llm Test Synthesis, And Automatic Bug-To-Repair Handoff, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Spec-Less Differential Api/Rbac Conformance Scanner With Source-As-Oracle Auth Probing, Llm Test Synthesis, And Automatic Bug-To-Repair Handoff, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

This publication discloses a computer-implemented method and system that scans a running HTTP/REST service for authentication and role-based access-control (RBAC) conformance defects without any machine-readable API specification. Conventional API security scanners (Schemathesis, RESTler, 42Crunch, StackHawk, and comparable tools) require an OpenAPI/Swagger document or a recorded traffic corpus to know both what endpoints exist and what each endpoint's correct behavior is. The disclosed mechanism removes that dependency by treating the service's router source code as the single source of truth: a lightweight parser enumerates route registrations, and — the central novelty — the auth-middleware tokens present on each route's own physical …


Modality-Blind, Local-First Handwriting Evidence Ingestion With Server-Side Image Rejection And Absence-Never-Denies Gate Equity, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao Jul 2026

Modality-Blind, Local-First Handwriting Evidence Ingestion With Server-Side Image Rejection And Absence-Never-Denies Gate Equity, Gustavo Matthew Assuncao

Defensive Publications Series

Adaptive-learning platforms increasingly want to admit analog work — a photographed page of handwritten work — as assessment evidence alongside typed and spoken answers. The obvious implementation is corrosive: it uploads a child's handwriting image to a server, applies a single blanket consent posture across every capture surface, and — most insidiously — lets the presence of a shiny new evidence channel become an implicit penalty for the learner who has no camera, no printer, or no wish to photograph their work. This disclosure describes a mechanism that structurally refuses all three failure modes. First, the client performs deterministic on-device …
