# arestyrurj: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called arestyrurj.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

> Rutgers; Model; Data; System; Cells; Mice; National; Consumption; Acid; Compounds; Media; School; Arm; Expression; College; Environment; Coral; Modern; Sequence; Test; Healthcare; Community; Aresty; Fat-1; Parity; Cost; Century; Cystine; German; Airport; Arab

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

## Data

- Learning Predictors from Multidimensional Data with Tensor Factorizations by Kwon, Soo Min; Sarwate, Anand D. (2021) - However, as previously mentioned, most machine learning frameworks are formulated for vector spaces, mak- ing statistical inference challenging for tensor data. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is that PCA does not capture tensor data efficiently in lower dimensional space. Keywords: data; learning; tensor; ∈ ℝ

- Changing Verbal Label Assignments Selects the Memory System for Responses in an Immediate Visual Recognition Task by Becker, Alexa; Kang, Mengxue; Glass, Arnold (2021) - Even though Kang et al. (2021) confirmed that the assignment of verbal labels to re- sponse keys in different spatial locations determines which memory system gets selected for the task—not the assignment of verbal labels to different hands— there is still no clear answer as to why the two re- sponse assignment conditions result in the selection of different memory systems. They found the same result, confirming that the assignment of a verbal label to a key in a relative right or left spatial position determines which memory system is se- lected for the task. Keywords: key; response; right; sequence; study; system; test
- Ethical Implications of Biohacking as Activism: Democratized Health Care, Danger, or What? by Zheng, Julia (2021) - Biohacked insulin is part of the #WEARENOTWAITING movement to sup- port improved treatment of Type 1 diabetes, where- as biohacked EpiPens allow people to make lifesav- ing autoinjectors at low costs. Thus, regulatory costs create a major barrier to entry for potential biosimilar producers and necessitate high drug prices to recoup investments spent on clinical trials”.[5] Biohacked insulin can avoid extensive test- ing, but this lack of assurance results in risks of unin- tentional poisoning for consumers. Keywords: activism; autonomy; biohacking; costs; diabetes; diy; healthcare; insulin; patients; people; system

Keywords: cells; ed peptide; marcks; mimetics; neurite; peptide; psa
- The Role of Autophagy in Phosphatidylglycerol Facilitated Cholesterol Clearance from the Endolysosomal System of NPC-1 Deficient Cells by Allada, Tamara; Ilnytska, Olga; Storch, Judith (2021) - This is because the limiting membrane of a lysosome is covered in a sugar coat called glycocalyx and it is believed that the luminal domains of the NPC-1 protein are required for cho- lesterol to be able to penetrate through the gly- cocalyx and exit the lysosome.[11,12] Increasing the LBPA levels in NPC-1 deficient cells have been found to result in a significant amount of cholesterol clear- ance because the LBPA can still interact with the NPC-2 protein.[6] Exogenous treatment of LBPA’s precursor phosphatidylglycerol, or PG, also results in cholesterol clearance because the PG can go through its biosynthetic pathway to make LBPA.[13] Our preliminary data shows that PG treat- ment of NPC-1 deficient cells facilitates autophago- some fusion with the lysosome and subsequent au- tophagic flux. Since NPC-1 deficient cells block au- tophagy and PG helps it resume, we are interested in seeing if autolysosome formation and autophagic flux are involved in cholesterol clearance from late endosomes when these cells are treated with PG. Keywords: atg12; autophagy; cells; cholesterol; clearance; figure; journal; npc-1

- The Impact of DNA Analysis Technology on the Rate of NAGPRA Repatriations by Kane, Emily (2024) - However, a NAGPRA case, referred to in this paper as “Kennewick Man'', gained international attention when craniometric and dental analyses (methods of analysis that measure the skull and assess the teeth of an individual, respectively) made beginning in the 1990’s were disproven by DNA analysis in 2015 (Rasmussen 455). The following paper seeks to investigate the overall trend in the use of DNA analysis in NAGPRA cases to determine the linear descent or cultural af- filiation of human remains. Keywords: analysis; dna; nagpra; national; notices; register; states

## Consumption

- Minimization of Fuel Consumption of A Swarm Of Spacecraft Through A Genetic Algorithm Approach by Lecompte, Shane; Scacchioli, Annalisa (2021) - A possible alternative to large craft is using a swarm of smaller craft made to accomplish the same goals while mitigating some of the drawbacks large craft face. In the context of exploring dense and/or extreme en- vironments in space, many logistic and economic problems faced by large craft due to their size and centralized nature will not affect a swarm. Keywords: algorithm; consumption; craft; figure; fuel; parameters; potential; spacecraft; swarm; trajectory
- Making A Dent in the Obesity Equation via Coupling Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Taxes with Fruit and Vegetable Subsidies by Pfreundschuh, Sarah (2022) - This paper ex- plores existing SSB excise taxes that have been im- plemented in recent years, focusing especially on Philadelphia’s tax as a case study for examining the behavioral changes associated with SSB taxes and the management of SSB tax revenue. It then sug- gests that SSB tax revenue be directly funneled into the subsidization of fruits and vegetables to maxim- ize the obesity-fighting potential of these relatively novel excise taxes.

We are confident that the Aresty RURJ will continue to grow and work to represent the research done by undergraduate students across Rutgers. Keywords: aresty

## Fat-1

- The Role of Eicosanoids in Regulating the Ubiquitin Proteasome System and Proteostasis by Kaur, Amanpreet (2020) - This is supported by previous studies that found the effects of ω-3 PUFAs varied depending on the tissue in question, with reduced UPS activity in cachexia cancer cells and increased UPS activity in HPV-infected cancer cells.11 In the intestine, ω-3 PUFAs or their derived eicosanoids may promote UPS activity, or ω-6 PUFAs or their derived eicosanoids may inhibit it. Interestingly, wild-type worms also appear to differ in UPS activity in the hypodermis and the intestine, with the intestine experiencing earlier UPS activity than the hypodermis.7 In total, these results suggest that PUFAs or their eicosanoid derivatives regulate UPS activity in a tissue-specific fashion.

## Parity

- Workforce Compensation Policies for Lead Teachers in State-Funded Preschool by Khan, Zaynab; Friedman-Krauss, Allison (2021) - I explored state preschool parity policies to determine which states have full and partial parity policies in place for lead preschool teachers. Given that prior literature finds an association between teacher compensation and preschool quality, I also explored the association between state preschool programs’ parity policies and NIEER’s 10 benchmarks for pre- school quality.[6] Examples of NIEER’s quality stand- ard benchmarks include supports for curriculum im- plementation, qualifications of lead (at least a B.A.) and assistant teachers (at least a Child Development Associate (CDA)), class size (maximum 20 children) and staff to teacher ratios (1:10 or better), as well as other non-workforce related specifications (such as required health screenings for children).

## Cost

- Cost-Effective Remote Operated Vehicle by Smolder, Zachary; Yi, Jingang (2021) - Due to the fact that this speed was rec- orded all in favorable environmental conditions, it should be noted that ROV performance in rough waves would result in lower speed measurements. The vehicle design may be modified to remove or add additional capabilities depending upon the specific purpose of the ROV.

## Century

- Topic Modeling and Analysis: Comparing the Most Common Topics in 19th-Century Novels Written by Female Writers by Rha, Lauren; Silver, Sean (2021) - “Distant reading” demonstrates the value of reading large numbers of text together and relies on computer-assisted mod- eling to analyze a larger amount of texts than can be read by any one individual.[15] “Distant reading” and the specific practice of topic modeling was per- formed within the R Studio programming environ- ment. This re- search explains how the novels were prepared for topic modeling and produces a specific topic model visualization, an “interactive heatmap,” to compare the frequency of topics found in each novel.

## Cystine

- Cystinuria: Genetic Aspects and Novel Pharmacotherapeutics by Stachula, Diana; Sahota, Amrik (2022) - MUTATIONS Over 400 total mutations have been identi- fied in SLC3A1 and SLC7A9 (Stenson et al., 2003), including missense, nonsense, splicing, regulatory, deletion, insertion, indel, duplication, and rear- rangement mutations (Stenson et al., 2003). Of the synthesized cystine diamides, L-cystine bismor- pholide and L-cystine bis (N′-methylpiperazide) were the greatest crystallization inhibitors; they were 7 and 24 times more potent, respectively, as well as more stable than a previously studied cystine diester, L-cystine dimethylester (CDME) (Yang et al., 2018).

## German

- Rilke in Translation: Uncovering the Panther in the English Language by Luckhoff, Serena (2022) - Drawing on this concept, in my translation, I attempt to reproduce Rilke’s portrayal of the panther not by finding Eng- lish words that replicate German words, but by let- ting the semantics of German words be distributed throughout my entire translation. It is not coincidental that the con- cepts of silence and stillness are represented by the same word in German; other German words also convey an underlying relationship between silence, stillness, and serenity. Keywords: german; language; panther; poem; rilke; stillness; translation; word

## Airport

- Imaginary Gardens: Solarpunk Illusions and Realities in the "Garden City" of Singapore by Keeton, Evan (2025) - Source: www.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/ Emerging out of this online discourse is a pro- ductive question: is Singapore Solarpunk? It compares the aes- thetic, design, purpose, and meaning of these structures to existing conceptions of Solarpunk.

## Arab

- MENA Descendants & Genetic Abnormalities by Guennouni, Maya P. (2025) - As recommended by medical professionals, the easiest way to prevent this genetic abnormality and reduce the risk of passing such mutations is through genetic testing. Through genetic testing and medical advancements, these congenital abnormali- ties become more transparent and manageable for medical professionals and researchers to prevent such mutations from arising.
