The UConn Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (i.e., UConn Pepper Center), plans to submit an application for competitive renewal to the National Institute on Aging at NIH. At this time, the UConn Pepper Center Pilot/Exploratory Studies Core (PESC) seeks letters of intent (LOIs) for studies to be included in the application. Studies selected for inclusion in the application will be funded contingent upon continued funding of the UConn Pepper Center. We are seeking Letters of Intent (LOIs) for 1-year pilot and exploratory studies that focus on enhancing function and independence in older adults while also advancing knowledge in the UConn Pepper Center theme of Precision Gerontology, and that will support future grant applications. We welcome a variety of research approaches, ranging from biological to clinical/behavioral to health services/community-based research. Projects focusing on cognition and behavior, host defense and immunity, voiding and continence, and mobility and falls are of particular interest. For proposed studies involving human subjects research, secondary data analysis-based projects are encouraged. Projects involving primary data collection are allowed but must be sufficiently feasible to complete within 1 year. LOIs are due by September 10, 2025 Full-time UConn and JAX faculty are eligible to apply for PESC funding. Priority will be given to junior faculty/early-stage investigators as well as established investigators pursuing aging-related research (relevant to Precision Gerontology) as a new area of research. Investigators may request up to $50,000 (direct costs) for a 1-year pilot project. Those interested in submitting an LOI are strongly encouraged to contact the PESC Co-Leaders Dr. Lisa Barry (libarry@uchc.edu) Dr. Blanka Rogina (rogina@uchc.edu) and to visit the UConn Pepper Center website to learn more about the theme of Precision Gerontology and the UConn Pepper Center Research Resource Cores. https://health.uconn.edu/pepper-center/ Those seeking to apply for UConn PESC funding must submit the following by September 10, 2025: 1. A 1-page Letter of Intent (LOI) that includes:Brief description of the Specific Aims, Significance, and Approach; Statement as to how the proposed study aligns with the UConn Pepper Center theme of Precision Gerontology; Statement of how the proposed study will utilize applicable UConn Pepper Center Research Resource Cores. 2. On a separate page, a brief budget and timeline 3. NIH Biosketch for Principal Investigator. Please send LOIs to Ms. Laura Masi (masi@uchc.edu) Individuals selected to submit full proposals will be notified by the PESC Co-Leaders.

Abstract:While routing in wireless networks has been studied extensively, existing protocols are typically designed for specific network conditions and fail to accommodate dynamic changes. In this dissertation, our goal is developing routing strategies that generalize to diverse traffic patterns, congestion levels, link dynamics, and node mobility. We develop a framework that use deep reinforcement learning (DRL) to achieve this goal.The first part of the dissertation focuses on stationary wireless networks. We achieve generalizability using relational features as inputs to the deep neural network, and scalability using packet-centric decision-making, extended-time actions, and sampling-based training. Using a packet-level simulator, we evaluate our routing algorithm extensively and show that the policy our algorithm learns during training is able to generalize to larger and more congested networks, different topologies, and diverse link dynamics. Our algorithm outperforms shortest path and backpressure routing with respect to packets delivered and delay per packet.Building on the above results, the second part of the dissertation focuses on mobile wireless networks, which is significantly more challenging than stationary networks. To support a wider range of mobile network conditions, we are currently developing a more robust, generalizable base model. This effort will require the design of new features and the exploration of novel learning approaches to ensure that the learned policy is effective in environments that differ significantly from its training data.

Many instructors administer online assessments through HuskyCT, and this overview session is an introduction to the Test and Assignment tools in the Ultra Course View version of HuskyCT. We will cover the basics of these tools to ensure a smooth experience for both you and your students. We will focus on creating different types of assessments and a review of the options that determine the test-taking experience for your students. We will also touch on some of the other third-party assessment tools available to instructors, such as Gradescope.

This event is hosted by the UConn Law Arts, Entertainment, & Sports Law Society. We will be providing lunch to students and staff while we discuss the mission of our society, our upcoming events, and how students can get involved now.

CLAS Academic Services Center is offering a series of Campus Connection Workshops to all College of Library Arts and Science Students. Come meet Officer Justin and pet K9 Jazmine (new to the PD crew) - learn resources to keep yourself safe on campus, police services, and learn how to get involved. Officers are available to talk with students and there will be free swag. The event will be help outside of the CLAS ASC office (Rowe 130). Hope to see you there!

Get comfortable using: HuskyCT, StudentAdmin, Nexus, and other online tools you'll need for your classes at UConn. This workshop will show you how to find what you need, keep track of your work, and feel more confident using the technology that supports your academic success.

Brandon Manley, Ohio State UniversityDijet production as a probe for the orbital angular momenta of partons in the proton Despite almost four decades of progress, the proton spin puzzle remains one of the longest standing open problems in hadronic physics. In particular, the orbital angular momentum (OAM) distributions of the partons inside the proton have remained particularly elusive and to date have not yet been extracted from experimental data. In this talk, we propose elastic production of dijets from electron-proton collisions as a probe for the OAM distributions at small values of Bjorken x. Building on the pioneering proposals of Hatta et al and Bhattacharya et al, our focus is on both the longitudinal double spin asymmetry (DSA) and longitudinal single spin asymmetry (SSA) at small x. We compute the numerators of these asymmetries in the small-x formalism of the light cone operator treatment. We demonstrate that the DSA provides a robust probe for both the quark and gluon OAM distributions within the proton. In contrast, we find that while the SSA is also sensitive to the OAM distributions, extraction of the latter from the SSA would require new developments in small-x theory and phenomenology and is probably not feasible at this point in time. These findings highlight the potential of DSA measurements in elastic dijet production at the future Electron-Ion Collider to provide the first-ever direct access to the quark and gluon OAM distributions at small x, paving the way for new insights into the proton spin puzzle.

LockDown Browser is a custom browser that locks down a student's computer when used for administering a test through HuskyCT. Monitor is an additional feature that uses a student's webcam to record them taking their test, which provides a means to review the student's testing environment. When taking a test using LockDown Browser, students are unable to print, copy, go to other websites, access other applications, or close a test until it is submitted for grading, and Monitor creates a video record of the time they spent taking the test. This session will cover the use of LockDown Browser and Monitor for tests, quizzes, and exams in your course, including recommended settings and best practices.
