Reinforcement learning models for adaptive and automated optimization of firewall placement, rule configuration, and network performance

Torabi, Zahrasadat

Ensuring robust security in virtual networks, especially software-defined networks (SDNs), without compromising performance remains a key challenge, as manual firewall configuration is error-prone and poorly suited to the dynamic nature of virtual network topologies.Traditional graph-based path computation methods such...

L2 Constructions in the Digital Age: Connecting Corpus-informed Materials Design and Technology for the Autonomous Learning of Tagalog

De Los Reyes, Nicole Casin

The success of autonomous second/additional language (L2) learning is contingent on the availability of theoretically grounded, open educational resources (OERs) that engage learners with the target language and reflect real-world language use (Tomlinson, 2016). While corpus-informed approaches have shown promise in ma...

Revealing the Early Solar System through Small Body Spectroscopy and Dynamics

Belyakov, Matthew

One key event is thought to have defined the early outer Solar System, a so-called "dynamical instability", which simultaneously excited the orbits of the giant planets, scattered planetesimals throughout the solar system, and shaped the dynamics of the nascent Kuiper belt. The goal of my thesis has been to constrain t...

Exploring the therapeutic potential of consumer-GenAI agent relationships

Sarvari, Tahmine

The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping service delivery and redefining how emotional and relational value is co-created between consumers and non-human service agents. As emotionally responsive agents, simulated systems that mimic human emotions rather than possessing genuine e...

Beyond the flood and flames

Yip, Caryn Stacie

During the wildfire period, PM2.5 exposure ranged from 0.36 to 380 μg/m3. High PM2.5 exposure (PM2.5 > 55.4 μg/m3) was associated with a HR of 1.37 (1.10-1.70), 3.88 (2.38-6.32), and 1.85 (1.40-2.44) for all REs, asthma, and COPD, respectively, among healthier veterans. Among sicker veterans, high PM2.5 exposure was as...

Access to and delivery of emergency sepsis care for high-risk age groups

Swanson, Morgan B

Adherence to pediatric sepsis care guidelines is lower than in the adult sepsis population, especially in low-volume facilities. Compared to adults, pediatric sepsis patients may be at higher risk of disparate incidence and outcomes given sparser access to definitive pediatric hospital care. The first two aims of this...

CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING VISCOELASTICITY AND VISCOPLASTICITY OF RECYCLED ASPHALT PAVEMENT (RAP) AS ROADWAY EMBANKMENT MATERIAL

Barzegar, Mohammadreza

The results indicate that while the density and basic characteristics of RAP are similar to soil, temperature effects on RAP must always be considered. RAP exhibits comparable performance to conventional soil under static loading; however, it does not stabilize under traffic loading. Temperature significantly impacts R...
