Automated Generation Of Product Compliance Briefs Using A Generative Model And Enterprise Data Sources, Venkat Sharma Gaddala, Gary Borella, Krish Mohan, Nanda Balasubramanian, Raghu Ravisankar, Shaswat Kumar, Joe Heinrich, Debbie Masada

Defensive Publications Series

The manual creation of specialized compliance documentation for international trade may be a resource-intensive process, potentially leading to operational delays. Systems and methods are described for the automated generation of product briefing documents. The technology may utilize a central orchestration service that integrates a generative artificial intelligence model with multiple enterprise data sources, for example, product lifecycle management systems and repositories of existing documents. To generate a new document, the system can identify similar products based on shared attributes, such as a commodity code, and could use data from these products to construct a few-shot prompt for the model. This …

Cascaded Model Architecture For Resource-Efficient Contextual Action Suggestion, Lixia Liu, Jian Wu, Georgi Angelov, Jiang Wang

Defensive Publications Series

Providing real-time contextual action suggestions in communication environments can involve computational cost and latency associated with running large-scale artificial intelligence models. A system can address these considerations using a cascaded, multi-layered modeling architecture. The system may first process contextual data, such as live meeting transcripts, through a lightweight, computationally inexpensive classification model. If this model returns a prediction with a confidence score below a predetermined threshold, the request can be escalated to a more resource-intensive model, such as a large language model, for a more nuanced analysis. This gating mechanism can balance predictive accuracy with computational efficiency, which may reduce …

Dynamic Distillation Cache For Augmenting A Local Generative Model With Teacher Model Reasoning, Ben Mccormack, Pablo Rodriguez, Karin Breitman, Sol Chea, Orna Berry Keren

Defensive Publications Series

Organizations in regulated or disconnected environments may face challenges in deploying high-performance generative models due to data residency or connectivity constraints, while local models can exhibit a performance gap for certain complex tasks. A hybrid architecture can augment a local student generative model using a dynamic distillation cache. This system can capture outputs, such as final answers, and underlying reasoning patterns from a remote teacher model. When a new query is received, the system can use semantic similarity to retrieve relevant cached reasoning and provide it as context to the local student model. This method of in-context distillation may allow …

Lived Experiences Of Law Enforcement Officers Assigned To Co-Response Teams Responding To Mental Health Crises, Roxanne Miller

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Law enforcement officers are increasingly called upon to respond to mental health crises, yet their experiences as members of co-response teams (CRTs) remain underexplored. This study was conducted to address that gap by examining the lived experiences of officers assigned to CRTs that pair specially trained officers with mental health clinicians to respond jointly to calls involving individuals in crisis. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to describe how officers experience CRT work and how it shapes their perceptions, practices, and professional identity. The study was guided by Lazarus and Folkman’s transactional theory of stress, appraisal, and coping, …

Geometric Modeling Through Multiple Implicit Functions, Yiwen Ju

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

Implicit representations have become a dominant paradigm in computational settings ranging from learning-based geometry generation to advanced manufacturing. While treating geometry as the level set of a black-box function provides significant modeling flexibility, converting these representations into explicit surface meshes remains a major challenge. Standard volumetric extraction methods are fundamentally designed for smooth manifolds and therefore struggle to capture sharp geometric features such as creases, corners, and non-manifold junctions that are critical for high-fidelity industrial design and engineering tasks. Many of these intricate features arise from modeling multiple implicit functions. Examples include Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG), material interfaces, and more …

Taming Psoriatic Inflammation: Targeting The Inos–Oxidative Stress–Necroptosis Axis For Precision Therapy, Tolulope Omotope Omolekan, Tithi Roy, Jean Christopher Chamcheu

Faculty Publications

Necroptosis is increasingly recognized as a central driver of psoriatic inflammation, promoting keratinocyte death and sustaining immune activation. Recent evidence shows that inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) deficiency and exogenous nitric oxide (NO) supplementation ameliorate psoriasis-like dermatitis in mice by reducing oxidative stress and constraining necroptotic signaling. These findings identify iNOS-derived NO as both a mediator of reduction–oxidation (redox) imbalance and a key regulator of necroptosis, thereby advancing mechanistic insight into psoriatic pathogenesis. Importantly, they highlight the iNOS–oxidative stress–necroptosis axis as a translationally actionable therapeutic target. Modulating necroptotic cell death through NO-based interventions may restore epidermal homeostasis and improve clinical …

Oncofetal Reprogramming: A New Frontier In Cancer Therapy Resistance, Anh Nguyen, Molly Lausten, Bruce M. Boman

Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Cancer Biology Faculty Papers

Oncofetal reprogramming has recently emerged as a critical concept in translational cancer research, particularly for its role in driving therapeutic resistance across a variety of malignancies. This biological process refers to a pattern of gene expression that is restricted to embryogenesis, but becomes expressed again in a subpopulation of cancer cells. These genes are typically suppressed after embryogenesis, and their aberrant re-expression in tumors endows cancer cells with stem-like properties and enhanced adaptability. The goal of this review is the following: (i) comprehensively examine the multifaceted nature of oncofetal reprogramming; (ii) elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms, including its regulators and …

Stress And Emotion Regulation In U.S. Undergraduate Students: A Theoretical And Narrative Review, Joshua Ross Pilchik

ETD Collection

Everyone experiences stress, but young adulthood brings some of the most intense and impactful stressors people face in their entire lives. For U.S. undergraduate students, persistent academic, financial, and social demands are ever-present, concurrent with a niche developmental period marked by identity exploration, assumption of new life roles, and growing autonomy (Arnett, 2000, 2015). Emotion regulation guides the ways people influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience or express them (Gross, 1998, 2015). Emotion regulation acts as a cornerstone for how students interpret and respond to these stressors (Compas et al., 2014; Aldao, 2013), …

The Rise Of The Black Female Producer: The Representation Of Black Joy, Mar'vellis T. Martin

McNair Scholars Collection

Issa Rae and Quinta Brunson are redefining what it means to tell Black stories on screen. Through shows like Insecure and Abbott Elementary, they elevate Black joy, community, and offer narratives that reflect the culture. With a rise in diverse female voices in media, Black female producers have emerged as cultural powerhouses telling stories beyond trauma and stereotype. This project examines how their shows contribute to a broader movement of authentic Black storytelling. Through comedic elements and community-based narratives, both shows capture the richness of everyday Black life.

Global Spatiotemporal Multi-Criteria Analysis Of Coastal Risk: Current And Future Hot Spots And Clusters, Marco Bidoia, Carlo Giupponi

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Coastal zones are among the environments most threatened by climate change. Although various efforts for global mapping and classification of coastal social and ecological systems have been undertaken, the ability to analyse and describe the spatial heterogeneity and multidimensionality of these phenomena remains limited. In the current study, we developed a methodological framework for assessing risk from extreme sea levels and examined its application at the global level. A multi-criteria analysis method was applied to the current scenario and to two future combinations of shared socioeconomic (SSP2 and 5) and representative concentration pathways (RCP4.5 and 8.5), accounting for risk attitudes. …

Modeling Global Ecological Niche Shifts Of Osyris Spp. Under Climate Change Scenarios: Conservation Priorities For A Threatened Genus, Meng Ting-Yao, Han Shun-Long, He Xiang-Tian, Wu Ya-Ni, Fengjuan Mou

Turkish Journal of Botany

The genus Osyris L. comprises ecologically and economically important evergreen shrubs or small trees, with particular African species currently threatened by unsustainable exploitation. This study projected potential ecological niche shifts for Osyris under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) using digitized herbarium specimen localities and 20 environmental variables. The genus currently occupies a broad range between 41.32°N–34.85°S latitude and 9.27°W–109.03°E longitude, at elevations from 0 to 3900 m. High-suitability areas cluster primarily in the European-Mediterranean region, eastern/southern Africa, western South America, and Southeast Asia. Projections indicate a significant decline in high-suitability area under all SSP scenarios (SSP126, SSP245, SSP370, SSP585) compared …

Combined Glycoprotein Mutations In Rabies Virus Promote Astrocyte Tropism And Protective Cns Immunity In Mice, Mirjam Anna Rita Bertoune, Corinna Kolbe, Ann-Cathrin Werner, Maren Steinmetz, Bernhard Dietzschold, Eberhard Weihe

Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers

Rabies virus (RABV) causes fatal encephalitis once it invades the central nervous system (CNS), and treatment options are extremely limited at this stage. We investigated the recombinant RABV variants SPBN, SPBNGA (glycoprotein substitution R333E), SPBNGAK (R333E plus N194K), SPBNGAS (R333E plus N194S), and TriGAS (three copies of the R333E/N194S glycoprotein). We evaluated their cellular tropism and immune activation in an intracerebral mouse infection model using immunohistochemistry and confocal immunofluorescence. SPBNGAK (R333E/N194K) resulted in mixed neuronal and astrocytic infection and lethal disease. In contrast, the R333E/N194S mutations in the GAS variants were associated with reduced neuronal infection and apparent astrocyte-restricted infection …
