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...

Military efficiency: A non-parametric analysis of Five Eyes land forces

Setter, Rowan Anthony

The four-fold aim of this study was to: (1) determine how the New Zealand Army (NZ Army) compares with Five Eyes armies from a technical efficiency perspective, (2) identify changes in military efficiency through time, (3) identify sources of technical inefficiency in the NZ Army, and (4) develop recommendations to enh...

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...

Channel-pillars scaffold in bone regeneration

Li, Xiao

Bone tissue engineering aims to restore or replace bone defects through the integration of biomaterial scaffolds with appropriate structural and biological cues. However, the repair of complex or large bone defects remains challenging due to the need to simultaneously achieve sufficient mechanical stability, effective...

Predictive Coding for Cognitive Mapping

Gornet, James Andrew

Paths within a given space are constrained by the space's geometry. Any data generated by a path must then reflect the path's base space. A path's data constrained by the base space's geometry—which we call the lifting property—is the fundamental relation this thesis explores. Specifically, this thesis examines how mat...
