Scattering Phase Shift In Quantum Mechanics On Quantum Computers: Non-Hermitian Systems And Imaginary-Time Simulations, Peng Guo, Paul Levan, Frank Lee, Yong Zhao

Research & Publications

To overcome the fast oscillatory behavior of correlation functions for extracting scattering phase shift in real-time quantum simulations encountered in the work of Guo et al. [Phys. Rev. D 113, 054512 (2026)], we propose and test two solutions in the present work. One is to simulate Hermitian systems in imaginary time, and the other is to simulate non-Hermitian systems in real time. We demonstrate that both approaches lead to the problem of nonunitary quantum evolution that can be solved by combining two quantum algorithms: block encoding and Hadamard test. The combined quantum algorithm does not require midcircuit …

The Everyday Monument: Architectural And Spatial Transformations Of Rome's Nasoni, 1874–Present, Sandra L. Santos

McNair Summer Research Program

Rome's nasoni are small public drinking fountains that have provided free water throughout the city since 1874. There are approximately 2,500–2,800 nasoni in Rome, actively supplying people with free drinking water. Although they are usually understood as ordinary and mundane hydraulic infrastructure, their persistence across different political periods makes them useful objects for examining the relationship between architecture, public service, and political meaning. This research asks how the forms, materials, and spatial contexts of late-nineteenth-century nasoni differed from fountains constructed or modified during the Fascist era.

Over my three weeks of fieldwork in Rome, I documented seventy-five public drinking fountains …

Conservation As A Guise: Green Grabbing And The Acculturation Erasure In Rempang, Indonesia, Umi Ma'rufah, Bobi Bobi, Yogi Eka Sahputra, Muhammad Ishlahudin

Forest and Society

This study examines how the state enacts green grabbing through forestry legal instruments and how this process intersects with the existence and cultural acculturation of the Sungai Raya community. Previous studies on state-led green grabbing have predominantly emphasized economic, political, and ecological dimensions, often overlooking the socio-cultural dynamics of affected communities. Employing a qualitative narrative research approach, this study draws on in-depth interviews and literature review to reconstruct the life histories of community members. Using the Rempang Eco-City National Strategic Project as a case study, this research identifies the unilateral designation of Kawasan Hutan Taman Buru (the Hunting Park Forest …

Ancestors And Tiger From Elsewhere: Emerging Forms Of Human-Tiger Socio-Natural Relations In Cosmopolitical Frontiers Of Sumatra, Imam Ardhianto, Febri Sastiviani Putri Cantika, Matahari Jingga, Dimas Iqbal Romadhon

Forest and Society

How are the moral relations between communities and the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) being reconfigured as forests fragment and land-use change accelerates across Sumatra's conservation landscape? This article addresses that question ethnographically, drawing on forty semi-structured interviews conducted in Agam and Pasaman Regencies (West Sumatra) between April and June 2026 and interviews with Yayasan SINTAS Indonesia. The article documents the three animistic category of the tiger, comprising Datuk/ancestor, harimau jadi-jadian, and harimau tandang, and traces how it is being reshaped by habitat fragmentation, commodity-driven land expansion, generational interruption of customary authority, and state translocation …

A Functional Ultrasound Imaging (Fusi) Pipeline For Investigating Brain-Wide Hemodynamics During Torpor-Like Hypothermia, Owen J. Culver

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

Torpor is a regulated state of reduced metabolic demand that enables animals to conserve energy under unfavorable environmental conditions. The controlled induction of a similar state, termed synthetic torpor, has potential applications in ischemic protection, organ preservation, cancer treatment, radiation protection, and long-term spaceflight. Although neuronal populations within the preoptic hypothalamus have been shown to initiate hypothermic and hypometabolic states, the distributed cerebral hemodynamic dynamics accompanying their induction and maintenance remain poorly understood. In this thesis, we developed an accessible functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) acquisition and analysis pipeline and applied it to investigate cerebral hemodynamics during chemogenetic activation of the …

Treaty Hierarchy And Legal Pluralism In Cross-Border Governance: Comparative Study Of Jordan And France, Rola Nael Salameh, Numan Ahmad Elkhatib, Rami Ali Daradkeh, Mohammad Sulieman Issa Alhelalat

Hasanuddin Law Review

This study addresses the constitutional ambiguity surrounding the hierarchical status and domestic application of international human rights treaties, particularly in legal systems where treaty incorporation lacks explicit constitutional regulation. Though earlier researches have discussed issues such as treaty incorporation and constitutionality, there has been little analysis of the comparative role played by courts in bridging the international and domestic legal systems. The study adopts a qualitative doctrinal and comparative legal methodology, analyzing constitutional provisions, legislative frameworks, and judicial decisions across Jordan, France, and selected Arab jurisdictions, including Egypt and Morocco. The findings reveal that France adopts a hierarchical model granting …

Bc-Xaia: A Blockchain-Based Recruitment Framework With Explainable Ai And Smart Contract Integration, Heba Allah Adel, Sayed Abdelgaber, Wessam H. El-Behaidy

Computer Science

Ensuring transparency and security in digital recruitment systems remains a critical challenge. This study proposes BC-XAIA, a unified framework that integrates blockchain, smart contracts, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI), and agile methodology to enable consistent, secure, and traceable recruitment decision-making.

The Freedom Myth: How Ski Culture's Hidden Conformity Reveals The Unconscious Power Of Brand Belonging, Isabel R. Phillips

University Honors Theses

Purpose: Ski culture sells freedom and enforces conformity. This review asks what unconscious behavioral patterns hold that contradiction in place, and how brands capitalize on it to manufacture belonging.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A narrative literature review across consumer psychology, behavioral neuroscience, sociology, and ski industry research. No primary data were collected. Four accounts of consistency-seeking are synthesized into one framework, then applied to three ski industry cases at ascending scales and tested against a comparative case from Spanish football.

Findings: Belonging is a conditioned response, and conditioning requires a stable stimulus. Consistency is therefore the precondition of belonging rather than a constraint …

Difficult Conversations In Hematology/Oncology Nursing: A Com-B Study Of Barriers And Facilitators, Joy Octaviano, Anna Oh, Penelope Blum, Regine Lopez

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Difficult conversations in hematology/oncology often involve prognosis, goals of care, and treatment decisions, contributing to moral distress and burnout. Prior studies show nurses view their role as integral yet secondary to physicians, citing limited confidence, inadequate training, and time constraints. Understanding behavioral drivers can inform strategies to support nurses in these challenging interactions.

This qualitative study explored hematology/oncology/blood and marrow transplant (BMT) nurses’ experiences with difficult conversations, identifying barriers and facilitators through the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation–Behavior (COM-B) model and Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).

Purposive sampling recruited hematology/oncology/BMT nurses at a large academic medical center. Semi-structured interviews were transcribed; thematic analysis …

Addressing Food Insecurities Through Staff Education In The Rural Health Setting, Angela Dawn Suttle

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Rural America, including Arkansans, face a number of social determinants of health (SDOH) including food insecurities (FIs) and the inability to access nutritious food. FIs contribute to poor outcomes and increases healthcare utilization. Inconsistent screenings for FIs in adults living in the rural health clinic (RHC) setting, lack of standardized workflows, and failure to provide community resources when FI is identified represents a significant gap in practice. Purpose: The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) staff education project was to increase utilization of screening tools for FI, implement a standardized workflow, and provide patients with resources to improve …

Implementation Of A Nurse-Led Self-Measured Blood Pressure Program In Rural Primary Care, Stephanie Marie Montgomery

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Hypertension remains a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, yet blood pressure control remains suboptimal among many adults, particularly those receiving care in rural primary care settings. Reliance on office-based blood pressure measurements may limit opportunities to identify uncontrolled hypertension and actively engage patients in disease self-management. This Doctor of Nursing Practice quality improvement project evaluated the implementation of a standardized self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) program for adult patients with hypertension in a rural primary care practice. The intervention included validated home blood pressure monitors, standardized patient education, teach-back to verify measurement competency, structured home blood pressure …
