A Prevention Model For Delaware: Reducing Opioid Relapse After Release From Incarceration, Jaime Basara

Selected Social Change Portfolios in Prevention, Intervention, and Consultation

Goal Statement

The goal of this Social Change Portfolio is to reduce relapse risk among individuals with opioid use disorder who are reentering society after their release from a Delaware correctional facility, by enhancing clinical continuity of care, including counseling, relapse-prevention planning, and linkage to community-based treatment programs.

Significant Findings

This portfolio aims to raise the awareness that justice-involved individuals with opioid use disorder in Delaware face extremely high rates of relapse, overdose, and death during the post-release period, particularly within the first few weeks and months after reentering society. This is often due to abrupt discontinuation of treatment, reduced …

Modes Of Liability For Ai-Enabled Crimes In International Criminal Law, Antonio Coco

International Law Studies

As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies become increasingly embedded in human activity, the question of individual accountability for AI-enabled international crimes grows more pressing. This article examines how established doctrines of individual criminal responsibility under international criminal law—particularly the modes of liability recognized in the Statute of the International Criminal Court and in the jurisprudence of international criminal tribunals—may be applied to human actors who interact with AI systems in the commission of core international crimes. Through four hypothetical scenarios, the article explores varying forms of human involvement—from programming to deployment—and assesses whether existing modes of liability, such as perpetration, instigation, …

Use Of Electrocardiograms To Identify Coronary Artery Disease: Cross-Validation Of An Artificial Intelligence Model, Michael Leasure, Indu Poornima, Adam Butchy, Utkars Jain, Devin Vasoya, Michael Warnick, Brent Williams, John Rehder, Prahlad Menon, Veronica A. Covalesky, Gary S. Mintz

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: The current gold standard for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) is invasive angiography; however, it is an invasive procedure. Therefore, we developed an artificial intelligence model designed to predict significant CAD from a resting digital 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).

OBJECTIVES: This retrospective study assessed the model's ability to predict clinically significant CAD in a patient population presenting for coronary angiography.

METHODS: From 2019 to 2021, 16,476 patients had a resting 12-lead digital ECG recorded within 90 days prior to coronary angiography. The artificial intelligence model was developed using 10-fold cross-validation methodology. Clinically significant disease was defined as angiographic …

Elite Bankruptcy, Laura N. Coordes

BYU Law Review

“The influence of bankruptcy lawyers over bankruptcy law seems almost inevitable.” —David Skeel

In Debt’s Dominion, David Skeel wrote that bankruptcy professionals have played a key role in shaping U.S. bankruptcy law. He predicted that these professionals would continue to shape the bankruptcy process long into the future. Today, we can see that Skeel’s prediction has come true. Although Congress has yet to overhaul the Bankruptcy Code, bankruptcy professionals have succeeded in their own form of overhaul by creating what this Essay calls “elite bankruptcy:” a type of bankruptcy accessible only to the rich and powerful. Elite bankruptcy is practiced …

Galway: Making A Capital Of Culture (Patrick Collins, Orpen Press, 2023), Connell Vaughan

Research Outputs: 2025-Present

Patrick Collins’ recent book details the development of the cultural industries and placemaking in the Galway region over the past century or so. Focusing on the “peripheral” position of the region, its long relationship to film making, and informed by Galway’s successful application for the European Capital of Culture in 2020, Collins argues for the unique nature of the region as a site of cultural production and consumption. While the book offers moments of insight, particularly in its discussion of ‘festivalisation’, it ultimately lacks the analytical depth and coherence needed to fully capture Galway’s complex cultural identity. No sustained critical …

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 …

Background

Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is a mitochondrial enzyme that connects de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis with the electron transport chain (ETC) function. However, its broader role in prostate cancer (PCa) signaling and response to therapy remains unclear.

Methods

We combined transcriptomic, metabolomic, epigenomic, and functional analyses with clinical outcome data to explore the effects of DHODH depletion in ancestry-annotated European American (EA) and African American (AA) prostate cancer cell line models.

Results

DHODH was markedly overexpressed in malignant prostate epithelial cells and was abundant in tumors. Its knockdown hindered cell proliferation by causing pyrimidine depletion, while unexpectedly increasing oxidative phosphorylation, ETC …
