F-Harmonic Vectors Fields With Potential, Ferdinand Hountondji Koudjo

Baku Mathematical Journal

The problem studied in this paper is related to the f-harmonicity with potential of a vector field from a Riemannian to its tangent bundle TM equipped with the Sasaki metric. We show that an f-harmonic vector field with potential is parallel if and only if f is constant function. We also characterize the f-harmonic vector fields with potential on some three Riemannian Lie groups.

Boundedness Of The Discrete Ahlfors-Beurling Transform On Discrete Weighted Lebesgue Spaces, Amil F. Jabiyev

Baku Mathematical Journal

The Ahlfors-Beurling transform is one of the important operators in complex analysis. This transform plays a crucial role in applications to the theory of quasiconformal mappings and to the Beltrami equation with discontinuous coefficients. The AhlforsBeurling transform has been studied on classical Lebesgue, Morrey, Sobolev, Besov, etc. spaces. However, its discrete version has not been well studied. In this paper, we prove that the discrete Ahlfors-Beurling transform is the bounded operator in discrete weighted Lebesgue spaces.

The Fall Of Chevron: What It Means For Irs Authority And Tax Law, Reagan Honn

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

This Note examines the collapse of Chevron deference and its profound implications for federal tax law, where complexity and ambiguity are the rule rather than the exception. For decades, Chevron allowed courts to defer to the Internal Revenue Service’s reasonable interpretations of ambiguous statutes, promoting uniformity, predictability, and administrability across the tax system. In Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, the U.S. Supreme Court dismantled that framework, shifting interpretive authority decisively to the judiciary. This Note argues that the loss of Chevron destabilizes tax administration by inviting inconsistent judicial interpretations, increasing taxpayer challenges, and undermining reliance on agency guidance. It further …

Held Hostage By High Prices: How The Pharmacy System Makes You Pay More, Riley Harris

Southern Illinois University Law Journal

This Note examines how current regulatory policies and practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) have led to increased prescription drug costs and diminished patient access to medications. Notably, Schmidtknecht v. OptumRx Inc. illustrates the real-world consequences of current PBM regulation, which allows them to increase medication prices without warning by controlling which pharmacies and insurance plans will cover certain prescription drugs. The Note analyzes existing federal regulations under the Civil Monetary Penalties Law (CMPL), the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act (2018), and the Know the Lowest Price Act of 2018, which seek to increase drug pricing transparency and …

Unassuming Antiquity: The 1939-1940 New York World’S Fair, Mary Rose Comerford

History & Classics Student Scholarship

This paper examines the self-representation of Japan at the 1939 New York World’s Fair through the country’s displays and gifts to the United States. American world’s fairs were events that many countries wanted to participate in, to showcase their innovation, industry, and culture. It was a place for them to enter the international stage and control their image of themselves to the rest of the world. Japan’s choice of displays varied at different points in history depending on what would best serve the country’s diplomatic interests. In 1939, following its military aggression in China, Japan looked for a chance to …

Beyond The Pipeline: First-Generation College Students’ Community Cultural Wealth And Stem Degree Pathways, Douglas Havard, Zahra Gholami, Jue Wu, Danette Y. Martinez, A. J. Balatico, Lara Perez-Felkner

Education Faculty Articles and Research

This study examines how first-generation college students (FGCS) and continuing-generation college students navigate STEM pathways by modeling four sequential milestones in the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09): high school graduation, college enrollment, STEM major selection, and STEM degree completion. Guided by Yosso’s Community Cultural Wealth framework, we use survey-weighted sequential logistic regression to estimate stage-specific associations between academic preparation, psychosocial resources, and institutional context, conditional on prior attainment. Results reveal distinct generational patterns of STEM progression. For FGCS, rigorous high school mathematics preparation exerts a powerful influence on high school completion, while later-developing math self-efficacy and science identity …

¿Qué Significa Hacer Geografía En La Actualidad? Pensar El Método Y La Investigación Geográfica, Cristian Abad Restrepo, Marco René Rodríguez Ortiz

Desde sus orígenes, la Geografía ha estado al servicio del poder, pero hoy se reivindica como herramienta para la justicia espacial y el bienestar colectivo. Los autores exploran cómo el conocimiento del espacio permite intervenir en él y cómo el método geográfico —con su uso riguroso de la cartografía, la observación morfológica y el análisis multiescalar— se convierte en una vía para comprender y transformar la realidad. El mapa no es solo representación: es poder, imaginación y acción. La obra destaca la …

Development And Service Performance Of Active Anti-Icing Pavement Materials For Energy Efficiency Optimization Of Low-Enthalpy Geothermal Deicing Systems, Junming Mo, Jiading Jiang, Ke Wu, Lei Qu, Wenbin Wei, Jinfu Zhu

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

To address high thermal loads and energy costs in Geothermal Road Snow-Melting Systems (GRSSs) within cold regions, this study optimizes energy efficiency through material-level intervention. We developed a composite anti-icing modifier synergistic with low enthalpy geothermal systems, comprising slow-release agents, anti-corrosive components, reinforcing materials, and active chloride salts. By regulating the thermodynamic boundary of the pavement, the freezing point is suppressed to −21 °C. This eliminates the requirement for positive pavement temperatures, significantly reducing the design thermal power. Chloride ion release patterns were analyzed via dissolution and 20-day soaking tests to evaluate structural durability. Results show optimal performance at a …

Decorrelation, Diversity, And Emergent Intelligence: The Isomorphism Between Social Insect Colonies And Ensemble Machine Learning, Ernest Fokoue, Gregory Babbitt, Yuval Levental

Articles

Social insect colonies and ensemble machine learning methods represent two of the most successful examples of decentralized information processing in nature and computation respectively. Here we develop a rigorous mathematical framework demonstrating that ant colony decision-making and random forest learning are isomorphic under a common formalism of stochastic ensemble intelligence. We show that the mechanisms by which genetically identical ants achieve functional differentiation— through stochastic response to local cues and positive feedback—map precisely onto the bootstrap aggregation and random feature subsampling that decorrelate decision trees. Using tools from Bayesian inference, multi-armed bandit theory, and statistical learning theory, we prove that …

A General Weighting Theory For Ensemble Learning: Beyond Variance Reduction Via Spectral And Geometric Structure, Ernest Fokoue

Articles

Ensemble learning is traditionally justified as a variance-reduction strategy, explaining its strong performance for unstable predictors such as decision trees. This explanation, however, does not account for ensembles constructed from intrinsically stable estimators-including smoothing splines, kernel ridge regression, Gaussian process regression, and other regularized reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) methods whose variance is already tightly controlled by regularization and spectral shrinkage. This paper develops a general weighting theory for ensemble learning that moves beyond classical variance-reduction arguments. We formalize ensembles as linear operators acting on a hypothesis space and endow the space of weighting sequences with geometric and spectral constraints. …

Modulation Of Behavior In The Medicinal Leech Due To Injury And Stress, Ella Dockendorf

Honors Thesis

Many studies have focused on trying to discover the fundamental processes of pain and stress. This is rather difficult for pain especially, since pain-relate behaviors include multiple components of which some are emotional while others are sensory. In this study, we use an operant conditioning assay and phototaxis assay to determine the behavioral effects of injury and stress within Hirudo verbana. Operant conditioning involved placing the animals in a two-chamber arena, with one chamber being illuminated and the other being completely dark with a pea gravel barrier in the connecting section of the arena. Normal animals improve their latency …

Kinetic Study On The Inactivation Of Rhodotorula Mucilaginosa And Aspergillus Niger In Drinking Water Using Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract, Siti Nur Syazana Zakaria, Noor Yahida Yahya, Che Ku Mohammad Faizal Che Ku Yahya, Noor Amirah Abdul Halim

Platform: A Journal of Engineering

Fungal contamination in drinking water distribution systems poses emerging health and operational risks due to biofilm formation and resistance to conventional disinfectants. This study evaluates the antifungal disinfection performance of Moringa oleifera seed extract against Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and Aspergillus niger in aqueous systems. Jar test experiments were conducted under controlled conditions (pH 7, 26-27o C), and fungal inactivation kinetics were analysed using the Chick-Watson model. At Ct values ranging from 2 to 10 mg.min L–1, the maximum inactivation achieved was 2.9-log₁₀ for Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and 0.9-log₁₀ for Aspergillus niger, indicating species-dependent susceptibility. The delayed inactivation behaviour suggests an initial lag …

Cfd Modelling Investigation Of Hydrocyclone Solid Separation Efficiency In Petroleum Upstream Oil Production, Yuvanesh Jeva, Mohammad Shakir Nasif
