Can Chinatown Speak? Mapping Hauntings, Dispossessions, And Diasporic Lifeworlds In Boston’S Chinatown, Lin Lin Jun 2026

Can Chinatown Speak? Mapping Hauntings, Dispossessions, And Diasporic Lifeworlds In Boston’S Chinatown, Lin Lin

Geography Undergraduate Senior Theses

Boston's Chinatown has persisted despite highway construction, urban renewal, and institutional expansion that destroyed much of the neighborhood. This thesis asks how residents have shaped and inhabited that space and whose contributions have been forgotten in the process. Through entangling frameworks from Geography and Asian American Studies, the thesis approaches Boston's Chinatown through walking, archiving, and counter-mapping. The first chapter reads the streets as a layered record of historical ruptures, which leads to a dichotomy of presence and absence. The second chapter then examines the archives of the 1993 Parcel C struggle. It creates an original counter-archive, titled the "Collection …

Preparing An Annotated Bibliography For A Criminal Justice Class, Fabiola Ceballos-Durham Jun 2026

Preparing An Annotated Bibliography For A Criminal Justice Class, Fabiola Ceballos-Durham

Open Educational Resources

This assignment introduces students to the research process in criminal justice by requiring them to locate, evaluate, and annotate scholarly and credible sources related to their assigned topic. Through the use of library databases, web evaluation techniques, and APA citation style, students develop information literacy skills while identifying key findings, gaps, and areas of interest within the existing literature. The completed annotated bibliography serves as a foundation for the Final Term Research Project by helping students refine a research focus and begin building a reference base for future assignments.


Analysis Of Housing / Dormitory Capacity At Binghamton University, Binghamton University Office Of Institutional Research Jun 2026

Analysis Of Housing / Dormitory Capacity At Binghamton University, Binghamton University Office Of Institutional Research

Datasets

An analysis of the ratio of undergraduate housing to undergraduate enrollment was conducted to evaluate whether housing capacity at Binghamton University has kept pace with growth in undergraduate enrollment. Data from IPEDS for Binghamton University and other similar institutions shows that the University has increased housing capacity for undergraduate students in line with increases in enrollment, and that Binghamton University has the highest ratio (53%) of housing capacity to enrollment compared with other similar institutions.


Adhesion Index Integrates Cell And Bacterial Responses To Titanium Across Protein Conditioning And Surface Roughness, Sahar Afshari, James D. Boyd, Victoria L. Stanton, Arnold Stromberg, Katherine L. Thompson, David M. Devito, Craig S. Miller, Martha E. Grady Jun 2026

Biofilm formation is a primary cause of implant-associated infections in dental and orthopedic devices. Early interactions between bacteria and host cells at the implant surface critically influence subsequent infection or successful integration. Therefore, biocompatibility screening should evaluate both biofilm formation and cell adhesion. Adhesion Index, defined as the ratio of cell adhesion to biofilm adhesion, provides a non-dimensional number to optimize towards that end. In this work, the laser spallation technique is implemented to compare the effects of implant surface characteristics (rough and smooth titanium) and protein coatings (blood plasma and fibronectin) on bacterial biofilm (Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus) and …

ISTHMUS is a software package designed to couple voxel-based domains with surface mesh-based solvers. Voxelized geometries provide high-fidelity representations of materials but are difficult to integrate into multiphysics workflows because of jagged boundaries and the absence of robust interface mapping. ISTHMUS addresses this challenge through two key modules: motion mapping and flux mapping. The software is written in Python with performance-critical routines accelerated on GPUs via CUDA. ISTHMUS is solver-agnostic, enabling coupling of a wide range of fluid, thermal, and structural codes without requiring modifications to their discretizations.

Patent Analyses And Technology Forecasting: Advances Into Artificial Intelligence Technologies, Sarah Over, Emma Jiren Wang, M. Shehryar Khan Jun 2026

Patent Analyses And Technology Forecasting: Advances Into Artificial Intelligence Technologies, Sarah Over, Emma Jiren Wang, M. Shehryar Khan

Journal of the Patent and Trademark Resource Center Association

For several decades, patents have been utilized in analyzing technology and forecasting future trends. Historically, this has been done via keywords, citations, and some bibliometric approaches. The efficiency that is promised by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, natural language processing, and related technologies has also heavily entered the domain of intellectual property. There is a growing body of research that is using AI technologies to analyze, learn, and make predictions for patents. Some of the most common applications in practice are those that assist searchers and examiners in review of patents. Journals such as World Patent Information have even developed …


Hallucinations And Hits: Generative Ai Patent Searching Performance, Pitfalls, And Library Best Practices, Aidan J. Whitlock, Denise A. Wetzel Jun 2026

Hallucinations And Hits: Generative Ai Patent Searching Performance, Pitfalls, And Library Best Practices, Aidan J. Whitlock, Denise A. Wetzel

Journal of the Patent and Trademark Resource Center Association

One of the most challenging aspects for inventors seeking to obtain a patent is conducting an effective preliminary prior art search. The process requires specialized skills and experience to assess the relevant information that many novice inventors do not possess. However, artificial intelligence (AI) tools and Large Language Models (LLMs) offer potential new ways of accessing legal and technical expertise. This study surveys five popular publicly available LLMs ability to aid in conducting a preliminary prior art search. A list of best practices and strategies for using AI tools to conduct preliminary patent searches are outlined at the conclusion of …


Mass Produced: Using Local Historical Patents And Trademarks As Outreach Tools, Brendan Kelly, Rebecca Reznik-Zellen, Lisa Di Valentino Jun 2026

Mass Produced: Using Local Historical Patents And Trademarks As Outreach Tools, Brendan Kelly, Rebecca Reznik-Zellen, Lisa Di Valentino

Journal of the Patent and Trademark Resource Center Association

Historical patents and trademarks are an effective way to showcase the industries critical to the development of a region. The UMass Patent and Trademark Resource Center, based out of the Science and Engineering Library of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, created an exhibit focusing on four different industries integral to the development of Western Mass, and the patents and trademarks associated with them. We hosted an opening reception attended by campus members interested in innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as community patrons interested in the industrial history of the region. As many regions around the United States have their own …


Students’ Perceived Differences, Othering, And Engagement In Online Learning Spaces: A Cross-Sectional Survey Study, Hajeen Choi, Jaesung Hur, Dan He Jun 2026

Students’ Perceived Differences, Othering, And Engagement In Online Learning Spaces: A Cross-Sectional Survey Study, Hajeen Choi, Jaesung Hur, Dan He

School of Engineering Faculty Publications

In online learning spaces, students may feel disconnected not only because of limited interaction but also when they notice differences in their backgrounds or beliefs. This survey study examined students’ perceived differences and their implicit and explicit experiences of othering based on their backgrounds and beliefs. Descriptive results showed that political orientation, culture, and socioeconomic status were common areas where students felt different, while race/ethnicity, culture, and religion stood out as stronger points of distinction. Thematic analysis of open-ended responses showed that many students described subtle forms of othering, such as discomfort and self-doubt, while others encountered more direct negative …
