Transaction-Outcome Driven Adaptive Logging, Chao Feng, Kelu Zhang, Wenliang Li, Peng Xu, Xiangjun Meng
Defensive Publications Series
Presented herein is a system, referred to as Transaction-Outcome Driven Adaptive Logging (TODAL), that is an innovative system that resolves the critical trade-off between comprehensive diagnostic logging and operational efficiency on complex network devices. It achieves this by capturing all log data at the highest verbosity into an internal buffer, then intelligently processing and outputting only key summary information for successful operations, while providing full detailed logs exclusively for failed transactions. This approach not only ensures comprehensive troubleshooting data is always available when needed, but also significantly reduces system resource consumption and extends the effective retention period of relevant logs.
An Ai Enabled Enterprise Question-Answering (Qa) System Optimized For Scalability, Privacy Awareness And Efficiency, Hp Inc
Defensive Publications Series
A cross-team enterprise chat system comes with a set of challenges, not typically addressed in an out of the box solution. A large enterprise tends to have hundreds of thousands of unstructured documents that continues to grow exponentially in number over time. A standard RAG system or a traditional Question-Answer Mapping (QA) AI agent built on top of such a corpus would be impractical and inefficient as it would need to comb through the entire knowledge base to fetch relevant data to the user’s query. The existence of data in multiple silos with different teams further complicates the issue, as …

The Criminalization Of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (Dmst) Survivors, Mackenzie Zimmerman
The Criminalization Of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking (Dmst) Survivors, Mackenzie Zimmerman
SACAD: Scholarly Activities
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) defines sex trafficking as the “recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of a commercial sex act.” When the trafficking involves resident minors within the United States, the act is referred to as domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST). However, because DMST enmeshment often involves elements of criminal activity, a minor may be implicated as a recruiter in friend-type trafficking, and a third-party trafficker is not required to constitute sex trafficking involving minors, the designation of “survivor” or “criminal” remains complicated in many cases. Due to these blurred lines between …
Carboxypeptidase O Expression In Ku812 Basophil Cells Decreases Upon Degranulation, Etien Balorda
Carboxypeptidase O Expression In Ku812 Basophil Cells Decreases Upon Degranulation, Etien Balorda
Honors Theses
Basophils are leukocytes that mediate inflammatory responses through the exocytosis of granules containing enzymes and inflammatory mediators. Carboxypeptidase O (CPO) is a protease with Cterminal acidic amino acid specificity and is expressed in basophils. CPO expression and localization were assessed in KU812 basophil cells via Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. CPO expression decreased upon degranulation and is localized to cytosolic puncta. These data suggest that CPO may be localized in basophil granules and released upon degranulation.

Asymmetric Airfoil Selection For A Small-Scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine: A Numerical Study, Babak Ranjbaran, Yonatan Afework Tesfahunegn, Raul Bayoan Cal, Ármann Gylfason
Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations
Vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) efficiency depends mainly on the aerodynamic properties of the airfoils used in their blades. During each rotation of the turbine, the blade experiences a range of angles of attack (AOAs) with respect to the relative wind, resulting in a variation of its contribution to the overall performance of the turbine. This paper leverages the capabilities of XFoil for preliminary performance analysis and ANSYS Fluent for detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The initial selection of airfoils is based on geometric characteristics and their potential for high tangential force coefficients. The asymmetric airfoils were selected by maximizing …

Makara Journal of Science
Diatoms are the most common and abundant microalgae group in seawater, with an estimated 200 genera and 200,000 species categorized into three distinct taxonomic classes: Mediophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, and Coscinodiscophyceae. This study describes the morphological characteristics of Lampriscus GM052022, a diatom belonging to the Mediophyceae family, which was collected from Gili Matra, Lombok, Indonesia. Analysis using light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM) showed that the morphological characteristics of the Lampriscus GM052022 specimen are similar to those of Lampriscus shadboltianus var. crenulatus due to the distinct crenulation lines on the frustule, which differentiate this variation from Lampriscus shadboltianus. However, the …

Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases nowadays, and tyrosine kinase receptors play crucial roles in cancer cell survival, differentiation, proliferation, and migration. This study designed and developed a new inhibitor from heterocyclic-based xanthone derivatives to target two tyrosine kinase receptors, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), through in silico screening. Eighteen heterocyclic-based xanthones were evaluated through molecular docking for both receptors. All heterocyclic-based xanthones gave the root mean square deviation (RMSD) value lower than 2.00 Å. Xanthone with isobenzothiazole substituent (iBzThio) was found as the most potent inhibitor with binding energies of -10.60 and …

Makara Journal of Science
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a rapid, molecular biology technique widely used in disease diagnosis and genetic engineering. Conventional PCR products require agarose gel electrophoresis, which employs a DNA ladder as a size reference. Most commercial ladders are plasmid-based and reliable but require additional culture time. We suggest a more efficient method for producing a DNA ladder using DNA derived from human blood. DNA was isolated using a commercial kit. Primer sets generating 100–1000 base pair (bp)-long fragments bearing target regions p12, p13, and p14 were designed using Primer-BLAST. DNA was amplified by routine PCR, visualized on a 1% (w/v) …
