A Comprehensive Guide To V2x Security: Protocol Analysis, Risk Assessment, And Emerging Innovations, Stefano Alessandro Blasoni

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

ABSTRACT As Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication becomes an integral component of intelligent transportation systems, ensuring its security is critical for maintaining safety, privacy, and reliability on the road. However, research on V2X security is often overly specialized and complex, limiting more broad collaboration and public scrutiny from the wider cybersecurity community and the public. This lack of understanding affects the further collaborative efforts that could enhance V2X security and the V2X ecosystem. This thesis bridges that gap by applying fundamental computer security principles to V2X protocols, specifically Dedicated Short-Range Communications (DSRC) and Cellular V2X (C-V2X). It analyzes their security mechanisms, assesses …

Can Professional Judgment Be Taught To Auditors? An Experimental Investigation Of Abilities And Implicit Beliefs, Darsheika Williams

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Abstract In this study, I investigate the impact of training interventions on professional judgment in auditors, while considering the moderating effects of ability and implicit beliefs about skill malleability. Prior research highlights the potential of metacognitive training to enhance analytical procedures in lower-level auditors (Plumlee, Rixom, & Rosman, 2015) and the role of experiential learning methods in fostering professional development (Powell et al., 2020). The effectiveness of such training interventions in improving professional judgment, particularly when accounting for individual differences in ability and mindset, remains an open question. Using a one-factor design with nesting, this study explores whether training in …

Appraisal Of Uncertainty-Driven Financial Performance: Bringing Multi-Criteria Decision Making Techniques With Neutrosophic Theory, Mona Mohamed, Nurhan Alaa, Eman Sayed

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Evaluating financial performance is essential yet challenging due to various factors, including ambiguity, insufficient information, and conflicting evaluation criteria. Conventional Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques often struggle to manage these complexities effectively. To address these limitations and enhance financial performance assessments, this research proposes an innovative approach integrating Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets (SVNS) with established MCDM methodologies. SVNS uniquely manages uncertainty by concurrently quantifying degrees of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity within financial data. This research specifically employs entropy-based weighting methods integrated with Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) and Multi-Objective Optimization by Ratio Analysis (MOORA) methodologies in the SVNS environment to systematically rank enterprises …

Leveraging Hypersoft Set To Optimize Livestock In The Era Of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Alaa Salem, Mona Mohamed, Nebojsa Bacanin, Mohamed Abouhawwash

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Due to urbanization and industrialization, rapid global change and the potential loss of arable land, agricultural output must rise in production levels and harvest, distribute, and use resources more efficiently. It is believed that using technology on livestock would help meet the expanding population's demand for food. Internet of Things (IoT) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) integration in conventional farming has transformed operations, providing farmers with greater productivity, improved decision-making, and sustainability. We assume that there are enough UAVs to cover the entire pasture, and our goal is to identify the best UAVs. Accordingly, determining the best type of UAVs …

Nash Equilibrium Solutions For Continuous Static Games Under Neutrosophic Environment, M. G. Brikaa

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Neutrosophic set theory plays an important role in dealing with the impreciseness and inconsistency in data encountered in solving real life problems. This paper presents a novel approach to solving a new class of continuous static games within a neutrosophic framework. In the proposed methodology, the neutrosophic continuous static games are redefined into two separate crisp problems: the lower problem and the upper problem. The study further establishes the necessary conditions for determining equilibrium strategies in neutrosophic continuous static games. To demonstrate its effectiveness and practical applicability, the proposed method is validated through a numerical example.

The Translucent Fortress: Improving The Design Of Rural Domestic Violence Shelters, Owen Baker Phillips

Bachelor of Architecture Theses - 5th Year

Domestic violence is a nationwide social plague that effects millions of women each year and has increased in severity since Covid-19 (2020-2022). In the state of Georgia, 37.4% of women report experiencing some sort of physical violence by an intimate partner (NCADV, 2020). Severity and frequency of domestic violence increases drastically if the victim is living in a rural location. Qualitative studies conducted in Iowa, North Carolina, and Virginia all report that on average, women living in rural areas report 150% more domestic violence experiences at a higher severity than their urban counterparts and must travel on average 300% further …

Accessibility Care Beyond The University Disability Office, Mae L. Zurita

Masters Projects

When higher education institutions rely on a single office to provide primarily in-class accommodations for students with diagnosed disabilities, practitioners beyond this office receive little guidance on supporting the broader disabled community in daily practices. By critiquing the dominant models, theories, interventions, and solutions that create an ambiguous responsibility for how practitioners are to include and accommodate disabled people the project can outline alternative methods. A culture of ableism and rampant inaccessibility is innate to how North American higher education operates as an institutional practice. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is treated like a successful initiative that guarantees …

A Performance Comparison Between Two Speech-To-Asl-Gesture-Projection Translation Implementations, Alexandra Kashani Motlagh, Shikha Mehta, Ishfaq Ahmad, Addison Clark, Hansheng Lei

Informatics and Engineering Systems Faculty Publications

Millions of people with hearing disabilities use sign language for communication, creating a communication gap with those who are not fluent in ASL (American Sign Language). This paper aims to introduce an ASL interpreter system using a smart-glasses-based augmented reality system. We begin by introducing and comparing two models that translate spoken language into ASL poses. The first system translates spoken text to ASL Gloss, an intermediate representation, before generating ASL poses. The second system directly translates the text to ASL poses. Our analysis shows that using ASL Gloss as an intermediate step significantly improves the translation speed. We then …

Zine-Making As Site Of Research Brave Space: From Ethical Challenges To Transformative Opportunities In The Study Of Digital Sexual Intimacies, Rachele Reschiglian, Cosimo Marco Scarcelli

The Qualitative Report

This paper presents zine-making workshops as sites of Research Brave Spaces (RBS), a methodological posture for scholars within transformative worldviews. Positioned within queer research methodologies, the paper argues that zine-making offers a creative and multimodal method that enhances participant engagement and reflexivity, challenging some limitations of traditional research methods. By framing research as a “brave space,” the paper shifts from the notion of “safe spaces,” emphasising the importance of embracing discomfort, vulnerability, and critical reflection throughout the research process in all the subjects involved. The methodology incorporates elements of care, collaboration, and adaptability, addressing the specific needs of marginalised participants, …

Consumer Willingness To Pay For Allergy Safe Foods, Julia Posillico

College Honors Program

For many individuals with food allergies purchasing allergy safe food is essential yet costly. Allergy safe food often costs more than its standard counterparts and is becoming increasingly important due to poor labeling regulations and increased recalls resulting from undeclared allergens. Understanding how much more consumers are willing to pay for allergy safe foods as well as what elements impact their willingness to pay such as the number of allergies, allergy severity, age, gender, and income is important. A contingent valuation approach was used to collect data which was analyzed using a multiple-variable linear regression model. The results reveal consumers …

Expanding The Horizons Of Nonagonal Neutrosophic Numbers As A Versatile Framework For Decision-Making And Scientific Applications In Covid-19, Muhammad Naveed Jafar, Kainat Muniba, Hamiden Abd El-Wahed Khalifa, Fahd Jarad

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

In this article, the concept of nonagonal neutrosophic numbers has been introducing in the disjunctive frame of reference. We also proposed the dependency and independency of membership function in regards to nonagonal neutrosophic number. We also introduce a new score function and its computation also formulated in a distinct rational viewpoint. We developed the concept of weighted arithmetic averaging operator and weighted geometric averaging operator for nonagonal neutrosophic numbers. It will open new doors for MCDM and develop the concept with new approaches. Additionally, we analyze the effect of COVID-19 for different ages.

An Approach To Model Uncertainty In Fluid Behaviour With Navier-Stokes Equations In Neutrosophic Environment, Muhammad Saeed, Attia Hameed, Neha Andaleeb Khalid, Muhammad Salman Habib

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

The complex discipline of fluid dynamics examines the behavior of fluids and their interactions with adjacent objects. The Navier-Stokes equations are very important for explaining how fluids move, but they are not linear and often give answers that depend on the starting point and the boundaries. Modeling fluid behavior is challenging due to the inherently chaotic and unpredictable character of fluid dynamics. To deal with unknown or uncertain values in this research, we used neutrosophic logic to look at the Navier-Stokes equations in a new way. Neosophic logic permits the existence of values that are partially true and partially false; …

Contact Graphs In Fuzzy And Neutrosophic Graphs, Takaaki Fujita

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Graph Theory is a branch of mathematics dedicated to studying graphs, which depict relationships between objects through vertices and edges. A significant focus in this field is the study of contact graphs, where vertices correspond to sets, and edges represent intersections between those sets. To better model uncertainties in real-world situations, several graph types---such as fuzzy, neutrosophic, and Plithogenic graphs---have been developed. This paper investigates the concept of contact graphs within these frameworks, offering insights into their behavior under various uncertain conditions.

Changing Styles: Creating A Secure Attachment For Parents And Children With Insecure Attachments Group Manual, Crystal Finnell

Dissertations, Theses, and Projects

Parent-child attachments start forming immediately when the child is born. There are four different attachment styles that parent and child relationships fall into: secure, insecure avoidant, insecure resistant, and disorganized. Each of these styles have a unique set of characteristics the child displays as well as how the parent-child relationship appears. Forming a secure attachment between parent and child is necessary for a child to develop normal relationship patterns into adulthood. Without a nurturing sensitive relationship with a caregiver, a child may lack security and sensitivity into adulthood. Parent Child Interaction Therapy is a form of attachment counseling that uses …

Actigraphy-Based Sleep Disruption And Diurnal Biomarkers Of Autonomic Function In Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation, Harneet Walia

All Publications

Introduction Sleep architectural disruption is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF); however, associated autonomic influences remain unclear and it is unknown if this detriment persists during wakefulness. We hypothesize sleep disruption and autonomic dysfunction have diurnal patterning in patients with paroxysmal AF. Methods We analyzed data from the Sleep Apnea and Atrial Fibrillation Biomarkers and Electrophysiologic Atrial Triggers (SAFEBEAT) study designed to examine paroxysmal AF and sleep apnea, including simultaneous collection of continuous electrocardiogram monitoring (Heartrak Telemetry®) and actigraphy (Actiwatch GTX) for 7–21 days.
