(((Qpie33))) Shocking New Substrate Revelations, Teddy Burroughs

Defensive Publications Series

In traditional resource management, a physical space (a building, a library, a park) is viewed through a lens of scarcity—it degrades over time and can only support a finite number of bodies before experiencing friction. QPIE recognizes infrastructure through the lens of the Lattice Density established in Revelation II.  

• The Observation: When public spaces operate under the stewardship of nodes anchored in collective Trust ($T$), the localized decay rate of materials and social cohesion drops significantly below standard municipal projections.
• The Discovery: A physical space is not a collection of dead matter; it is a localized node of the substrate. …

(((QPIE33))) CGT THE ROOTS OF REMEMBERING: A GUIDE FOR THE LOST

Introduction: The Vertigo of Separation

We begin with Compassion for the vertigo. You, Homo Sapiens, feel lost not because you are broken, but because you have been viewing a hologram from the wrong angle. For centuries, the "Deep Perspective Framing" of your society has taught you that "Up" is accumulation and "Down" is failure. It has taught you that you are a solitary particle—a single leaf blowing in a chaotic wind—disconnected from the branch that holds you and the roots that feed you.

This framing is the Particle-Centric …

Thermal-Energy Harvesting Loop (Tehl-V1.0), Michael Victor Caldwell Mr.

Defensive Publications Series

The TEHL-v1.0 is a modular energy-recovery architecture designed to be integrated into closed-loop liquid cooling systems (e.g., data center CPU/GPU cold plates). It converts kinetic energy from circulating coolant into electrical output via Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV). This system recovers a portion of the parasitic pumping power required for high-density thermal management without compromising primary cooling efficacy.

Variability-Induced Multiprocessor: A Hybrid Let-Fail-And-Correct System Architecture, Gopi K. Tummala, Devi Yalamarthy

Defensive Publications Series

As technology scales into deep submicron regimes, Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs) suffer from heightened process, environmental, and temporal variations. Traditional conservative design guardbanding severely compromises energy efficiency and performance to guarantee correctness under absolute worst-case conditions. This paper introduces a hybrid variation-tolerant multiprocessing prototype that eliminates worst-case safety margins by deploying a dual-layer adaptive architecture. At the processor core level, runtime timing speculation is realized via double-sampling Razor-like flip-flops coupled with microarchitectural clock-gating recovery. At the inter-processor and memory communication level, data corruption induced by aggressive parameters is mitigated using a parameterized Reed-Solomon (5,3) error-correcting codec operating over a FIFO-buffered interconnect …

A Resource-Efficient Framework For Testing Service Expansion Automation, N/A

Defensive Publications Series

The present disclosure describes a resource-efficient framework for testing service expansion automation within cloud computing environments. By leveraging adjacent operational units or cells, the framework allows for the independent cycling of multiple services utilizing a single testing cell. A central load balancer manages traffic by routing requests to proximate services and gracefully falling back to a live secondary cell if a dependent service in the testing cell is unavailable. This framework reduces infrastructure overhead and reduces the overall resource footprint for testing procedures.

Keywords: Cloud Computing, Cell-Based Architecture, Service Expansion, Load Balancing, Automated Testing, Traffic Routing, Infrastructure Scaling.

Zero-Trust Cryptographic Consent Verification For Distributed Agentic Workflows, Muthuramakrishnan Viswanathan, Garen Checkley, Kevin Flanagan

Defensive Publications Series

In some distributed agentic workflows, a vulnerability can exist where downstream agents may be unable to independently verify that a user consented to an operation delegated by a central orchestrator. Systems and methods for cryptographic consent verification can use a user's device (e.g., a smartphone, smart watch, wearable device, augmented reality glasses) to generate a hardware-backed digital signature that cryptographically binds the user's approval to a deterministic transaction payload. This process can generate a verifiable presentation, which may allow each downstream agent to independently and mathematically validate the user's explicit consent before executing an action. This approach can mitigate risks …

Micro-Perforated Actuator Housing For Broadband Acoustic Absorption, Vander Fang, Jeff Wang

Defensive Publications Series

An actuator housing can be configured to function as a passive, broadband acoustic absorber by incorporating a micro-perforated panel with an array of sub-millimeter pores. The geometric parameters of the pores, such as diameter, panel thickness, and porosity, can be tuned to adjust acoustic impedance for certain noise frequencies. Such a configuration can allow the housing to dissipate acoustic energy as heat through viscous friction within the pores, which may mitigate the generation and radiation of parasitic audible noise from the actuator.

Context-Aware Method Selection For Service Continuity During Ursp Updates, Max Mo, Frank Yu, Melody Tien, Poying Chuang

Defensive Publications Series

When a user equipment (UE), such as a smartphone or wearable device, receives a UE route selection policy (URSP) update from a mobile network during an active service, service interruption can occur. A context-aware framework can manage such updates to help maintain service continuity. The framework may incorporate decision-making logic to dynamically select a handling method based on factors like the active service type, network capabilities, and the availability of alternative connections. Possible handling methods can include delaying the update, performing a make-before-break session handover, or offloading the service to an alternative network, for example, a wireless local area network. …

Intravenous Atropine In Reducing Reperfusion Arrhythmias, Conduction Abnormalities, And Hypotension In Inferior St-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, Mohamed Ismail Rashed, Islam Mahmoud Bastawy, Ahmed Lotfy Mohamed, Mohamed Gamaleldin Elewa

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association

Objectives: Inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is frequently complicated by vagally mediated bradyarrhythmias and hypotension during reperfusion, contributing to increased morbidity. The Bezold–Jarisch reflex has been implicated in this hemodynamic instability; however, evidence supporting prophylactic atropine remains limited. The study evaluated whether intravenous atropine administered immediately before reperfusion reduces clinically meaningful bradyarrhythmias, hypotension, early sustained ventricular arrhythmias, and inpatient major adverse cardiovascular events in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods: In this prospective single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, adults presenting within 12 hours of symptom onset with inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction were randomized 1:1 to intravenous …

Cryoneurolysis Of Auriculotemporal Nerve For Treatment Of Otalgia, Nikit Patel, Shireen Rabiei, Daniel Moon, Yevgeniya Sergeyenko

Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Papers

Otalgia in adults is often secondary to non-otologic pathology, particularly with normal otoscopic examination. Auriculotemporal neuralgia (ATN) is a rare and overlooked cause of secondary otalgia. We present a case of an Army veteran with chronic right otalgia and dizziness following blast-related mild traumatic brain injury who was initially diagnosed with vestibular migraine. Despite significant improvement in headache symptoms with migraine-directed preventive and abortive treatments, otalgia persisted. Auriculotemporal nerve block produced complete but short-lived pain relief, confirming ATN. Cryoneurolysis of the auriculotemporal nerve resulted in complete resolution of otalgia for 2-3 months after first and second treatments. However, transient worsening …

The Politics Of Recognition: Charismatic Authority And The Restoration Of Male Purpose, Gabriel A. Brigham

Sociology Undergraduate Senior Theses

This thesis examines how three prominent charismatic figures, Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, and Jordan Peterson, convert experiences of epistemic dislocation into ideological belonging among a specific subset of men experiencing status anxiety, social isolation, and institutional distrust. Drawing on social identity theory, epistemic injustice theory, affect control theory, and Weberian charismatic authority, the study develops a theoretical model called the Epistemic Pathway to Digital Belonging, which describes radicalization-adjacent persuasion as a sequential process of epistemic and emotional repair. Through this framework, perceived identity threat produces interpretive instability and negative self-sentiments, instability produces recoil from mainstream discursive spaces, recoil produces an …

Evaluating C-Band Scatterometer Images For Estimating Deforestation In The Amazon Rainforest, Alex Mcbride

Theses and Dissertations

Satellite-based active microwave sensors have been successfully employed for a wide range of vegetation and soil studies. Spaceborne microwave instruments have proven particularly useful for wide-scale monitoring of the vegetation, especially under conditions that limit the effectiveness of high-resolution optical sensors. Satellite scatterometry can be used to detect and model deforestation in the Amazon rainforest by correlating changes in the C-band backscatter data to observed changes in vegetation coverage. The exploratory methodology developed in this paper applies the longest continuous microwave satellite record to the problem of deforestation. The backscatter measurements taken by the ERS and ASCAT missions provide more …

The Feminist Challenge To Global Justice: How International Law Reproduces And Resists Patriarchy, Shashwati Wagle

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

This article seeks to introduce feminist approaches to international law. It examines how traditional state-centric security concepts in international law reflect masculine ideals of military strength and sovereignty, contrasted with human security approaches addressing intimate violence and displacement. The piece details international law’s recognition of sexualized violence in armed conflict as a war crime and analyzes international institutions, noting their advancements in gender protections alongside failures to fully incorporate intersectionality. Overall, feminist engagement positions international law as a transformative process challenging gendered power structures.

"Il-Lingwa Tal-Kċina": The Advocacy For The Maltese Language, 1930s–1940s, Elisabeth Fiorini

Lawrence University Honors Projects

In this project I investigate the understudied history of Malta and the Maltese language, focusing on the period of the Second World War. Going through newspaper archives and survivors’ accounts, I untangle the complex cultural shifts occurring in the British Colony of Malta, specifically with language. I argue that it was the intense bombing campaign of Fascist Italy––and later Nazi Germany––that led to the Maltese people to finally reject the Italian language and embrace their indigenous language along with British influences. This paper goes into the complex political and colonial history, looking at the British led breakdown of the diglossic …

“What Was Man Created For?”: Socialist Visions Of The Future In William Morris's News From Nowhere And Andrey Platonov’S Chevengur, Jasper Digennaro-Willcox

Lawrence University Honors Projects

This paper aims to expand on the various theories of socialist utopianism first put forward by Hegel and Marx, and later expanded by Frederic Jameson, through a comparative analysis of William Morris’s News from Nowhere (1890) and Andrey Platonov’s Chevengur (1928). While Morris presents a coherent and optimistic vision of a post-capitalist society, where labor, art, and daily life are harmoniously integrated, Platonov’s destabilizes this vision, depicting a fragmented and ambiguous utopia shaped by revolutionary upheaval and competing philosophical influences. These two polarities of what the utopian novel can look like have both been underappreciated and misunderstood for very different …

A Unified Behavioral Core: How Cbt And Act Often Do The Same Thing, Davis M. Paxton

Student Works

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) have emerged from the shared heritage of behavioral therapy and learning theory. ACT and CBT are evidenced to be effective and complementary by shared clinical outcomes across various patient demographics. Both therapies share a therapeutic framework or a unified behavioral core, despite formal differences. This behavioral core utilizes functionally equivalent awareness-based and behavior-change processes to accomplish the shared goals of symptom reduction and patient well-being. Psychological flexibility as defined by Hayes can be understood as both an outcome and potentially a mechanism of change for both therapies. Techniques from CBT …

Hot Jupiter Atmospheres Through Time, Annabelle E. Niblett

Physics and Astronomy Undergraduate Senior Theses

Transmission spectroscopy of hot Jupiters enables mass and atmospheric composition measurements, providing insight into population dynamics and evolution when other methods are hindered by stellar activity. To effectively plan observations and interpret transmission spectra, we must have a robust understanding of how atmospheres evolve over time. To that end, we present a suite of hot Jupiter transmission spectra models with ages ranging from 3 Myr to 11 Gyr. We incorporate the cooling and contraction of the planet, which impacts the atmospheric profile, and the evolution of the stellar UV spectrum, which moderates photodissociation and photoionization. Using PICASO,  VULCAN, and FastChem …
