Sine Wave Challenge: Conventional Hybrid Integration Via The Cosmology Dehp Framework - 42 Cutting-Edge Open Engineering Challenges, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

The operational scaling of advanced theoretical frameworks routinely suffers from a persistent translation bottleneck: the transition from high-level, macro-scale cosmological field models to immediate, material-world engineering implementation is typically gated by abstract variables or speculative material constraints. This document resolves this friction layer by converting the 51 foundational records of Christopher L. Eckes’s Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model and Topological Substrate Mechanics (TSM) into a discrete, 100-point decentralized engineering workbook.

We systematically map the multi-disciplinary mechanics of the DEHP framework—spanning fluidic field dynamics, non-linear wave steepening, and localized tension gradients—directly into conventional, real-world industrial domains. To prevent theoretical drift …

Resolving The Chirality Paradox Planck-Scale Substrate Unification: Deriving Biomolecular Homochirality Via Viscoelastic Substrate Vorticity And Action Transport, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

The Origin of Life contains a profound cosmological paradox: terrestrial biology relies exclusively on left-handed (L-enantiomer) amino acids, whereas pristine carbonaceous chondrites—such as the Hillsborough meteorite—exhibit a symmetric, 50:50 racemic mixture. Standard biochemical models treat this homochirality as an accidental, stochastically amplified event, or rely on abstract multi-dimensional string typologies lacking verifiable, hardware-level physical mechanisms.

This paper resolves the "Chirality Paradox" from first principles using the Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP) model and Topological Substrate Mechanics (TSM). We define spacetime as a physical, continuous, two-dimensional viscoelastic phase fluid substrate (z=0) possessing intrinsic density, viscosity, and non-linear shear thresholds. Three-dimensional molecular …

Krakencreds: A Cybersecurity Framework To Prevent Credential Phishing, Ignacio Vallejo

Defensive Publications Series

Krakencreds are a new cybersecurity framework that aims to make the phishing of credentials implausible for most attackers. A set of "fake credentials" (Krakencreds) can be generated by a conscious victim of such an attack which, when tried by the attacker or their bot, trigger a permanent ban of their device from the site. This disclosure outlines ways to increase their effectiveness, prevent their exploitation, reduce user friction and handle exceptions.

Global Optimization Of Prediction Candidates For Scalable Map Consolidation, Amir Livne, Aviad Barzilai, Danny Veikherman, Dotan Emanuel, Yuval Desheh, Omer Yair, Shiang Yong Looi, Larissa Triess, Rotem Green

Defensive Publications Series

Assembling large-scale, high-definition maps from machine learning predictions generated on small, isolated geographic tiles can result in fragmented data, and some consolidation techniques may introduce geometric inaccuracies. A disclosed technique frames map consolidation as a global optimization problem. The process can involve partitioning a geographic area into patches and generating multiple prediction candidates for each patch. A global solver may then select a candidate for each patch to reduce a total cost. This cost function, for example, can evaluate the intrinsic quality of individual candidates and the geometric and semantic connectivity between candidates in adjacent patches. This approach can be …

Policy Hardening And Bgp Enhancements For Vortex Attack Mitigation, Nupur Kanoi Dutta, Venkata Lakshmana Murthy Varahabhotla

Defensive Publications Series

The present publication describes an approach for mitigating processing overhead and malicious route oscillations within BGP routing protocol. The described system enhances dampening mechanisms within a routing information base and a forwarding information base by marking unstable routes as unusable while retaining their entries. Furthermore, the approach utilizes policy hardening to enforce a default local preference value for externally advertised routes, which neutralizes exploitation vectors where attackers manipulate route preferences using routing communities.

Keywords: Border Gateway Protocol, Route Flapping, Network Security, Routing Information Base, Forwarding Information Base, Local Preference.

Unified Metric Confinement: Resolving Mass Hierarchy And Baryon Asymmetry Through Dehp Fluid-Substrate Dynamics, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This paper presents a novel geometric framework, termed Dimensionally Extended Holographic Projection (DEHP), to reconcile the foundational mechanics of high-energy particle physics with the empirical datasets generated by modern hadronic colliders. Rather than treating the spacetime vacuum as an abstract mathematical void populated by independent, fundamental point-particles, DEHP models the universe as a continuous, two-dimensional viscoelastic phase fluid substrate (\(z=0\)) capable of localized, non-linear geometric displacement along a vertical projection axis (\(z>0\)).

Under this Topological Substrate Mechanics (TSM) approach, baryonic matter is reinterpreted not as an isolated material substance, but as a localized standing wave packet—a topological "knot"—formed by …

A Read-Only, Manifest-Validated, Single-Trigger Orchestration Framework For Artificial Intelligence Agents Operating Against Multi-Vendor Production Network Infrastructure, Amit Singh

Defensive Publications Series

Enterprise network operations involve manual checks across numerous management domains, fragmented reporting, and difficulty maintaining unresolved findings across review periods. Existing tools generally address individual domains or workflows rather than coordinating heterogeneous operations under a single operator-driven trigger. The techniques presented herein implement a system that enables an artificial intelligence (AI) agent to execute manifest-defined, read-only application programming interface (API) operations across multi-vendor infrastructure in response to a single human trigger. An externally enforced contract validates permitted tools and prevents state-changing operations. The system further protects credentials, sanitizes publishable outputs, generates an atomic bundle of audience-specific reports, and uses hybrid …

Judicial Differentiation Between Codification And Statutory Law: An Applied Study, Asst.Prof. Rajab Abdul Hassan Rajab

Imam Ja'afar Al-Sadiq University Journal of Legal Studies

Given the significance of judicial separation in regulating social life and preventing the abuse of rights under the pretext of guardianship (qiwāma), as well as the resulting infringement upon women’s rights, this study was undertaken. It further aims to demonstrate the justice, precision, and structural depth of Islamic law in legal regulation.

This research examines the position of the Ja‘fari Code of Shar‘i Rulings and its evidentiary basis concerning judicial separation between spouses. It also compares this position with that of the Iraqi Personal Status Law No. (188) of 1959, in order to determine which framework is more aligned with …

The Criminal Prosecution Of Public Employees: Between The Binding Effect Of Criminal Judgments And The Administration’S Disciplinary Authority A Comparative Analytical Study Under Iraqi And Lebanese Law, Mohammed Aboud Faisal Al-Janabi

Imam Ja'afar Al-Sadiq University Journal of Legal Studies

Administrative discipline of public employees is regarded as an autonomous punitive system that is distinct from other sanctioning regimes in terms of its objectives, characteristics, and the authority responsible for its enforcement. Nevertheless, this autonomy does not preclude the existence of a close relationship between administrative disciplinary law and criminal law, nor does it prevent the former from being influenced by the latter in several respects. The same factual conduct that the administration characterizes as a disciplinary offence may simultaneously constitute a criminal offence punishable under the law. Consequently, a public employee may be subject to both disciplinary and criminal …

Procedural And Distributive Unfairness In Ai Interactions: Are People Less Satisfied With Unfairness From Ai Compared To Humans?, Devon S. Johnson, Sungyong Chun, Sneha Pandey, Gouher Ahmed

Department of Marketing Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

This study investigates consumer perceptions of procedural and distributive fairness/unfairness in service interactions involving AI versus human providers. It also examines how these perceptions are influenced by technology-related discomfort and the perceived responsibility of the service organization. A scenario-based online experiment was conducted using participants recruited through the Prolific research platform. Participants were asked to review a small business loan application process at a fictional digital bank where the application is processed either by an AI algorithm or a human loan officer. The study found that consumers experienced a higher level of satisfaction when they encountered procedural unfairness from humans …

Impact Of Structure And Connectivity Of Thiophene-Based Bicycles Stacking With Fluoroarenes In Conjugated Materials, Elisa Guzman, Gabrielle Buell, Sashen Ruhunage, Peter Müller, Chad Risko, Samuel W. Thomas

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Noncovalent interactions between aromatic rings can dictate the crystal structures of organic optoelectronic materials. While cofacial interactions of fluorinated and non-fluorinated arenes are useful supramolecular synthons, the impacts of the structural details on these interactions remain unpredictable, particularly with the types of heterocycles common in materials derived from π-conjugated molecules. In this work, a combination of optical spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography demonstrates that both the degree of fluorination of a benzyl ester side chain and the regiochemical connectivity of a benzothiophene (BT) to an arylene-ethynylene backbone impact whether intramolecular cofacial stacking occurs or not. Surprisingly, the thienothiophene (TT) analog, which …

Examining The Relationship Between Past Involvement In Sexual Violence, Gender, And Rape Myth Acceptance In College Student-Athletes, Sarah Baker

Theses and Dissertations

Sexual violence (SV) is a persistent concern on U.S. college campuses, with student-athletes at higher risk for both perpetration and victimization. Rape myth acceptance (RMA) reflects beliefs that excuse or downplay SV, but it is unclear how these beliefs relate to student-athletes’ personal experiences with SV. This study examined RMA based on past SV involvement and gender, with attention to individuals reporting both perpetration and victimization. Participants were 350 NCAA Division III student-athletes who completed measures of SV perpetration and victimization, RMA, and sexism. Analyses evaluated differences in RMA by past involvement in sexual violence and gender while controlling for …

Optical Integrated Sensing And Communication: Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Beam Tracking For Dynamic Vehicle-To-Everything Networks, Akshat Sharan

Theses and Dissertations

Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) promises ultra-high bandwidth for vehicular networks but suffers from critical beam misalignment in dynamic environments. The emerging paradigm of Optical Integrated Sensing and Communication (O-ISAC) addresses this challenge by unifying the sensing and communication functions over a single shared optical aperture, enabling real-time environmental awareness to guide beam steering. However, the multi-objective, stochastic nature of this joint optimization problem renders classical closed-form controllers inadequate. This thesis proposes and evaluates a deep reinforcement learning framework for continuous beam tracking in a 2D vehicular O-ISAC scenario. We conduct a comprehensive comparative study of four state-of-the-art deep RL algorithms: …

Investigations Into Biophysical Mechanisms Of Amphiphilic Molecules At Protein And Membrane Interfaces, Samuel Richard Pennock

Theses and Dissertations

Amphiphilic compounds play a key role in chemical biology due to their ability to associate with biochemical complexes through a diverse set of noncovalent interactions. Interactions between amphiphiles and biological targets elicit a wide array of modulatory effects, structural stability, and activity. However, due to the inherent complexity of these interactions, there has yet to be a broadly predictive framework for determining whether a given amphiphile-target interaction will be beneficial or deleterious. This thesis seeks to advance the mechanistic understanding of amphiphile-target interactions by investigating two distinct but unified systems. In the first study, the effects of fatty acid ionic …

Using C/Μ Test To Investigate The Coding And Noncoding Regions To Identify Selective Pressures In Hiv-1 Virus., Annie Tran

Theses and Dissertations

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a single-stranded RNA retrovirus whose error-prone reverse transcriptase drives a high mutation rate, enabling adaptive mutations on drug target proteins that confer antiviral resistance and complicate long-term treatment. This study therefore aims to detect such adaptive mutations on HIV-1 drug target proteins using our novel analysis framework (c/µ) on 5,711 genomic sequences, with findings expected to inform timely therapeutic adjustments and guide the development of more robust antiretroviral strategies. In Chapter 1, our novel mathematical framework (c/µ) and the Near Neutral Unbalanced Selection Theory (NNUST), which posits that most mutations experience weak but …

From Compliance To Inclusion Through Collaborative Action Research (Car): Service-Animal Access In Experiential Settings In Higher Education, Allison Christina Gainer

Theses and Dissertations

Experiential learning is essential for degree completion, licensure, and professional preparation, although access to service animals in practical contexts is often ambiguous and inconsistently implemented. This study examined the disconnect between legal access protections and institutional practices in real-time access decisions driven by safety, program integrity, accrediting standards, and decentralized decision-making. The purpose of this qualitative Collaborative Action Research (CAR) study was to examine Rowan University’s understanding, interpretation, and implementation of service animal regulations and procedures and to suggest alternatives for legal and equitable access. The study was based on the social model of disability and used four CAR cycles. …

Predicting Telemedicine Patient Visit No-Shows: Discovering An Actionable Patient Risk Model, Barbara R. Medvec, John D. Knight

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

The objectives of this project were to evaluate a large healthcare system’s telemedicine no-show risk model, assessing accuracy in identifying (1) high-risk for no-show patients and (2) refinements to the model that would improve the prediction accuracy and ease of use. The original model factors—Portal Activation, Last Portal Log-In < 90 days, E-Check-In < 90 days, E-Check-In for Visit Completed, and Last Video Visit—showed limited predictive power, making the model challenging to apply in practice. Leadership seeks a more accurate and streamlined model to support targeted interventions aimed at reducing no-shows.

A literature review revealed limited evidence on predictive scoring models for telemedicine visit no-shows. We analyzed 525,333 telemedicine appointments from 30 clinics between 2021 and 2024. Using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression, we: (1) assessed no-show rates by risk score; (2) calculated standardized Z scores for model factors; and (3) …
