Levine V. Xu-Kehrli

All Decisions

The Appellate Term affirmed a Small Claims judgment granting the tenant a full return of her security deposit and limiting the landlord's counterclaim for property damage. The court found the landlord failed to provide an itemized statement detailing the basis for retaining the deposit within 14 days of the tenant's vacatur, as mandated by General Obligations Law § 7-108 [1-a][e] for unregulated tenancies. The decision emphasized that substantial justice was accomplished, relying heavily on the trial court's assessment of witness credibility regarding the property damage claims.

875 River View Realty Llc V. Marzullo

All Decisions

The Appellate Term affirmed the Civil Court's order granting the landlord's motion to strike the tenant's jury demand in a holdover proceeding. The court found that the original lease, under which the tenant sought succession rights, contained an enforceable jury waiver provision that bound the tenant. The court also held that the landlord's motion to strike the jury demand was not untimely, nor did the tenant demonstrate prejudice due to any delay.

Pejudo Realty Corp. V. Bryk

All Decisions

The Appellate Term reversed the Civil Court's sua sponte dismissal of the landlord's nonpayment petition, reinstating it and remanding for further proceedings. The lower court had dismissed the petition due to alleged defects, even though tenants failed to appear and landlord was not given notice or an opportunity to be heard. The Appellate Term held that sua sponte dismissal, while not appealable as of right, is an extraordinary remedy only justified in rare circumstances. No such circumstances existed here, as tenants had not sought dismissal, and the landlord was denied due process. The Court did not rule on the merits.

Julmis V. Oliya

All Decisions

In this holdover proceeding, the tenant moved to amend their answer and for discovery. The court dismissed the landlord's petition, finding the landlord failed to serve a proper predicate notice. The landlord had appended a truncated version of the Real Property Law § 231-c Good Cause Eviction Law (GCEL) form to the predicate notice, which the court deemed insufficient as it did not contain enough relevant portions to be considered a non-prejudicial defect. Consequently, the tenant's motion was granted, and the proceeding was dismissed.

Single-cell analysis of human triple-negative breast cancer revealed heterogeneous macrophage populations with opposing phenotypes - proinflammatory and proresolution of inflammation. Paradoxically, both subsets accumulated in therapy-refractory residual tumors but showed inverse correlations across patients, suggesting mutually exclusive resistance mechanisms. Inflammatory macrophages localized preferentially to epithelial-like tumors, whereas proresolution macrophages were enriched in mesenchymal-like tumors. Mouse models faithfully recapitulated these patterns. After chemoimmunotherapy, mesenchymal-like tumors expanded proresolution macrophages through phagocytosis/efferocytosis, ω-3 fatty acid uptake, and resolvin production. Macrophage-secreted C1q emerged as a principal antagonist of T cell function by targeting mitochondria and inducing metabolic dysfunction. By contrast, epithelial-like tumors accumulated inflammatory …

Uniqueness And Nonlinear Stability Of Positive Entire Solutions In Parabolic-Parabolic Chemotaxis Models With Logistic Source On Bounded Heterogeneous Environments, Tahir Bachar Issa

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the parabolic-parabolic chemotaxis model with logistic-type sources in heterogeneous bounded domains: (formula present) We find parameter regions in which the system has a unique positive entire solution, which is globally asymptotically stable. More precisely, under suitable assumptions on the model’s parameters, the system has a unique positive entire solution (u∗(t, x), v∗(t, x)) such that for any u0 ∈ C⁰(Ω̅), v0 ∈ W^1,∞(Ω̅) with u0, v0 ≥ 0 and u0 ≢ 0, the global classical solution (u(t, x; t0, u0, v0), v(t, x; t0, u0, v0)) of …

Comparing English-Speaking Third Through Sixth Grade Students' Performances On Spoken And Written Cloze Morphological Awareness Tasks, Victoria Henbest, Kenn Apel

Victoria S. Henbest Publications

Purpose: Morphological awareness, the ability to consciously think about morphemes, plays an important role in literacy achievement. Historically, when measuring morphological awareness, researchers primarily have administered tasks in the spoken rather than written modality and few have investigated the influence of modality on task performance. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine whether performance on cloze morphological awareness tasks would be different for English-speaking third through sixth grade students depending on whether the task was administered in the spoken or written modality. We also analyzed whether performance on a written version explained unique variance on measures of …

Department of Anesthesiology Faculty Papers

Background: The Impella family of percutaneous a left ventricular assist devices are increasingly used for hemodynamic support in patients with cardiogenic shock or advanced heart failure. However, guidance on anesthetic management for patients with Impella support undergoing noncardiac procedures remains sparse. This study reviews perioperative practices and outcomes to inform clinical management.

Methods: Following institutional review board approval, a retrospective analysis was performed of adult patients receiving an Impella device (2.5, CP, 5.0, or 5.5) at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, USA, between December 2017 and October 2024. Patients, who subsequently underwent procedures involving anesthesia care were included. Demographics, procedure …

Structure-Property Relationships In Chalcones With Extended Π-Conjugation: Ict Perturbation And Far-Red Fluorescence, Yi Pang, Christopher J. Ziegler, Wei-Yuan Chen, Paityn Houglan

University Research

4-Dimethylamino-2′-hydroxychalcone (DHC) derivatives are known to exhibit distinctive photophysical properties for various applications, including highly fluorescent crystals and molecular imaging. In a continuous effort to establish the structure–property correlation of this class of materials, a series of methoxy-substituted chalcone derivatives with extended π-conjugation have been synthesized to understand the effect of methoxy substituents on the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) along the backbone. These derivatives displayed low fluorescence in protic solvents (e.g. ϕfl ≈ 0.003–0.009 in H2O), but high fluorescence in a polar aprotic solvent (ϕfl ≈ 0.2–0.35 in DMSO), with emission maxima up to 658 nm. Fluorescence lifetime measurements revealed …

An Investigation Into The Student And Faculty Knowledge, Perception, And Usage Of Chatgpt, Isabella Burns

Honors Theses

Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT) has become a significant topic in academia. Professors and university officials have been contemplating an all-out ban on utilizing such tools for undergraduate academic work. Sullivan et al (2023) noted “…student behaviors led some universities to ban the use of ChatGPT…” (p. 32). Instead of teaching students how to leverage ChatGPT as a powerful resource to enhance the learning process, universities have deemed use of ChatGPT unacceptable, equating its use with serious academic dishonesty offenses consistent with plagiarism (Hawdon et al., 2025). Directly copying from ChatGPT can constitute plagiarism and poses a significant issue for college-level studies, …

Exploring Undergraduate Student’S Perceptions Of Agriculture, Cayden J. Barton

Honors Theses

Americans today, both young and old, face issues with agricultural knowledge regarding the food and fiber industry and production agriculture as a whole (Frick et al., 1995). In a society where consumers are separated from production agriculture, public interaction with agriculture is less prevalent and the importance of agriculture is undervalued. A person’s knowledge of agriculture, or agricultural literacy affects the way that they perceive agricultural commodities and the agricultural industry (Specht, McKim, & Rutherford, 2014). Without adequate knowledge of the agricultural industry consumers cannot make well informed decisions about food safety or processing methods. In addition to consumers, government …

Empowering Futures: Inspiring Young Girls In Stem Through Comics, Angel M. Griggs

Strategic Digital Adaptation Among Small And Medium-Size Enterprise Leaders In Grenada For Implementing Digital Technologies To Achieve Long-Term Sustainability, Competitive Advantage, And Scalability, Devon Junior Charles

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Many small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) leaders in Grenada struggle to implement digital technologies effectively, which limits business sustainability, competitive advantage, and scalability. This issue is particularly concerning for SME leaders, as ineffective digital implementation threatens business survival, workforce stability, and economic resilience in small island developing states (SIDS). Grounded in a composite conceptual framework integrating the technology–organization–environment framework and dynamic capabilities theory, the purpose of this qualitative pragmatic inquiry was to explore strategies SME leaders in Grenada used to implement digital technologies to achieve sustainability, competitive advantage, and scalability. The participants were six SME leaders in Grenada with at …

A Multilevel Analysis Of Prescriber-Reported Buprenorphine Induction Challenges In Fentanyl-Endemic Settings, Alyssa Vawn Long

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The emergence of illicitly manufactured fentanyl has increased clinical uncertainty during buprenorphine induction in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. The purpose of this quantitative, retrospective cohort study, guided by the Transtheoretical Model (TTM), was to examine whether prescriber-level buprenorphine induction practices and experiences with precipitated withdrawal were associated with reported buprenorphine induction challenges, and whether county-level fentanyl prevalence contributed to these challenges after accounting for geographic clustering. Secondary, de-identified archival data were obtained from the National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Trials Network study CTN-0134 and included 64 prescribers practicing in fentanyl-endemic settings. Buprenorphine induction challenges were operationalized as …
