Minimal-Disclosure Presence Notification Of At-Risk Road Users On Local Streets, Kota Imayama

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a method for warning vehicles that an at-risk road user (such as a child, an older adult, or a person who is deaf or blind) is likely present on a low-speed local street, without revealing the individual's identity or even their vulnerability category. An opt-in device or function emits no identifier and no vulnerability fact; presence is spatially and temporally rounded, aggregated under a k-anonymity threshold, and delivered to vehicles as a coarse area-level caution flag over existing navigation or roadside infrastructure. The document enumerates device form factors, anonymization techniques, delivery paths, false-positive suppression, and a bidirectional …

Winter Gold Dairy Forage, Natalie M. Durdle Miss

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure establishes the public domain agricultural parameters for synthesizing a specialized ruminant milk fat base during winter dormant cycles when active grazing is physically impossible. This invention defines the precise thermodynamic freezing-season conservation requirements, soil chemistry thresholds, and botanical poly-culture ratios required to yield a milk lipid profile characterized by a naturally deep yellow, beta-carotene-rich coloration and a savory, mineral-dense flavor profile, independent of a restricted geographic location or specific animal species.

Laurentian Dairy Matrix, Natalie M. Durdle Miss

Defensive Publications Series

This invention defines the precise thermodynamic climate requirements, soil chemistry thresholds, and botanical poly-culture ratios required to yield a milk lipid profile characterized by an elevated concentration of short-chain and unsaturated fatty acids (specifically oleic acid), independent of a restricted geographic location or a specific animal species.

Pastry Butter, Natalie M. Durdle Miss

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure establishes the public domain agricultural parameters for synthesizing a specialized ruminant milk fat base optimized structurally for high-end baking, laminating, and pastry production. This invention defines the precise thermodynamic climate requirements, soil chemistry thresholds, and botanical poly-culture ratios required to yield a milk lipid profile characterized by an elevated melting point and high structural elasticity, independent of a restricted geographic location or a specific animal species.

Climate Conditioned Pasture Fat, Natalie M. Durdle Miss

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure establishes the public domain agricultural parameters for synthesizing a specialized ruminant milk fat base optimized structurally and sensorially for compounding with crustacean and seafood extracts. This invention defines the precise thermodynamic climate requirements, soil chemistry thresholds, and botanical poly-culture ratios required to yield a milk lipid profile characterized by high fiber-derived butterfat and elevated water-soluble carbohydrates, regardless of geographic location.

Authentic Nova Scotia (Maritime) Lobster Butter, Natalie M. Durdle Miss

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure establishes the public domain agricultural methodology for creating a specialized, raw, or cultured dairy fat base optimized structurally and sensorially for compounding with crustacean and seafood extracts. This process defines the pasture ecology, soil mineralization, and animal management required across multiple mammalian species—including bovine, bison, caprine, and ovine—to yield a fat profile that resists breaking when exposed to seafood proteins and heat.

Alumni Spotlight: Ezekiel Prophet Of Hope Address, Mark J. Seitz

Obsculta

This lecture was delivered by Bishop Mark J. Seitz upon receipt of the Ezekiel Prophet of Hope Award from Saint John’s University in August of 2025. The Ezekiel Prophet of Hope Award seeks to lift up alumni or alumnae of Saint John’s School of Theology and Seminary who have dynamically lived out the principles of collaboration and ecumenism that are at the heart of the mission and the Benedictine heritage of Saint John’s. Just as Ezekiel saw a splendid vision of the new and everlasting temple, modern prophets off er us new and sustainable visions for the church.

"They Will Put You Out Of The Synagogues”: An Exegesis Of John 16:1-4a And Its Application To The Persecuted Christians In Northern Nigeria, Chiemeka Iwuagwu

Obsculta

This paper offers an exegesis of John 16:1-4a, a pivotal passage in Jesus' Farewell Discourse that warns the disciples of impending persecution, including expulsion from synagogues. Situating the text within the historical and literary context of the Johannine community, it explores how this forewarning reframes suffering as an integral aspect of faithful witness rather than divine abandonment. Drawing on key scholarly works, the analysis engages literary structure, historical reconstruction of community experiences, and theological motifs such as dualism and Christology. The paper then applies these insights to the plight of Christians in northern Nigeria, a region marked by violent persecution, …

Developing Robust Human Formation For Ministerial Training, Mary L. Parks

Obsculta

The Apostolic Exhortation Pastores Dabo Vobis recognizes that effective ministerial formation is holistic, attending to all aspects of a minister’s being. The document therefore outlines four pillars of formation: human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral. In Co-Workers In the Vineyard of the Lord, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) extends the same four pillars of formation to the development of lay ecclesial ministers. The USCCB also applies these pillars to diaconal formation in The National Directory for the Formation, Ministry, and Life of Permanent Deacons in the United States of America.

Loose The Bonds Of Injustice: The True Fast Of Lent, Bella Brinkman

Obsculta

This reflection was written for and delivered to the community of the Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary on February 19, 2026. It reflects on Isaiah 58:6–8 and the theme of Lenten fasting, as part of the Midday Prayer Service during the first week of Lent. The reflection was composed and offered in the context of the ongoing immigration enforcement raids carried out by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis. It invites the community into a deeper consideration of the Christian response to injustice during the Lenten season.

The Incomprehensible God Who Wants To Reveal: Exodus 40 And Sirach 24, Gilbert Perez

Obsculta

God's transcendence above everything is present in many theological traditions, who recognize and answer in a diverse number of ways the question of how to approach the incomprehensible. Using the Historical Critical Method of exegesis with examples from the works of the recently deceased Walter Brueggemann, two completely different contexts in the Old Testament: Exodus 40 and Sirach 24, are presented to show how scripture itself often responded to the question of how God is made comprehensible.

I Cry At Night Before You: Theologies Of Depression In The Psalms, Travis Spillum Osb

Obsculta

This work looks to the Psalms to discover theologies that resonate with experiences of depression. If one struggling with depression feels as if God is angry with them, that their condition is oppressing them, that loved ones have abandoned them, or that God's love for them is wavering, they can utilize the psalmist's words to voice their feelings and express their anguish in prayer to a God who is seemingly deaf to their groaning.

A Holistic Framework For Enhancing Machine Learning Reliability: From Model Architecture And Algorithm Design To Human Interpretability, Kyle Naddeo

Theses and Dissertations

Modern machine learning systems can perform well on benchmarks yet fail in ways that are difficult for users to anticipate, interpret, or manage. This dissertation treats reliability as more than accuracy: a reliable system performs when it can, signals when it should not be trusted, and supports abstention, fallback, escalation, or human review. Unlike robustness, which emphasizes performance under shift, corruption, adversarial perturbation, or drift, reliability also requires recognizing limited competence, preserving useful semantic structure when fine-grained certainty is unjustified, and exposing mechanisms that make failures understandable. The dissertation develops this view through four contributions. Uncertainty-aware decision heads provide portable …
