\nAbstract:
\nZero-day cyberattacks pose a major challenge to traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) because previou sly unseen attacks are not represented in training data and are often misc lassified. While recent open-set recognition methods can identify unknown traffic\, they typically provide limited insight into the nature of detect ed anomalies. This thesis presents a unified framework for open-set intrus ion detection and semantic analysis of unknown network traffic by integrat ing deep learning\, reinforcement learning\, and large language models (LL Ms). The proposed approach uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to le arn traffic representations and a Deep Q-Network (DQN) to distinguish know n from unknown traffic using uncertainty-based metrics without manually de fined thresholds. An LLM reasoning module is selectively applied to traffi c identified as unknown to generate interpretable behavioral explanations. Experiments on the CICIDS-2017 and UNSW-NB15 datasets demonstrate that th e CNN-DQN framework achieves a binary F1-score of 97.83% for known-versus- unknown traffic classification while effectively identifying previously un seen attacks. The LLM-assisted analysis further provides meaningful behavi oral interpretations of suspicious network activity\, improving the explai nability of intrusion detection outcomes. The proposed framework contribut es to the development of adaptive and explainable intrusion detection syst ems capable of identifying and interpreting emerging cyber threats\, suppo rting faster incident response and enhanced cybersecurity decision-making.

\nAbstract:
\nSeasonal changes in temperature and ph otoperiod shape immunity across vertebrates\, yet their interactive effect s on adaptive immune responses in ectotherms remain poorly understood. In teleost fish\, temperature is a well-established regulator of adaptive imm unity\, but the contribution of photoperiod—and its interaction with tem perature—remains unclear. This knowledge gap has important implications for predicting immune responses under climate change and optimizing enviro nmental conditions in aquaculture.
\nUsing a fully factorial experim ental design\, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were acclimated to two temperatures (10°C and 15°C) and three photoperiods (8L:16D\, 12L:12D\, and 16L:8D) before immunization with a defined antigen. Temperature emerge d as the primary driver of adaptive immunity\, with fish held at 15°C exh ibiting faster and stronger B-cell responses\, higher serum IgM concentrat ions\, and greater antigen-specific antibody titers than fish maintained a t 10°C. In contrast\, photoperiod exerted more modest and context-depende nt effects\, with short-day conditions enhancing specific antibody product ion primarily in immunized fish.

\nDevelopment of a Balanced 100 Percent Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement Mixture Using Cracking and Rutting Performance Tests by Natalie Youstos
\nThe use of reclai
med asphalt pavement (RAP) at high contents can reduce the demand for virg
in aggregate and binder\, lower construction waste\, and support more sust
ainable asphalt pavement production. However\, 100% RAP mixtures are chall
enging because the aged RAP binder can improve stiffness and rutting resis
tance while reducing workability\, compactability\, and cracking resistanc
e. Therefore\, 100% RAP mixture design requires a balanced performance app
roach that evaluates both cracking and rutting resistance. This study eval
uated 100% RAP asphalt mixtures produced with fractionated RAP materials f
rom a RAP source in New York. The main objective was to identify an additi
ve system capable of meeting the New York State Department of Transportati
on (NYSDOT) balanced
mix design criteria. In this thesis\, an additiv
e system refers to a combined modification approach that may include added
binder\, polymer-modified binder\, crumb rubber\, asphalt-rubber binder\,
recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) pellets\, and/or recycling agents. The ev
aluated recycling agents were coded as R1 and R2. R1 represents a petroleu
m-based rejuvenator\, while R2 represents a bio-based oil rejuvenator. Cra
cking resistance was evaluated using the Indirect Tensile Asphalt Cracking
Test (IDEAL-CT)\, with the Cracking Tolerance Index (CTIndex) used as the
cracking performance parameter. High-temperature rutting resistance was e
valuated using the High-Temperature Indirect Tensile Strength test (HT-IDT
). The selected NYSDOT-based performance criteria were CTIndex ≥ 135 and
HT-IDT ≥ 30 psi. The results showed a clear cracking–rutting tradeoff
among the evaluated mixtures. Several mixtures satisfied either the crack
ing criterion or the rutting criterion\, but only one mixture satisfied bo
th requirements. The most promising mixture contained 1% polymer-iii modif
ied binder (B3)\, 0.85% R1\, 65% RAP sand\, and 35% 9/16 in. RAP stone. Th
is mixture achieved an average CTIndex of 189.14 and an average HT-IDT str
ength of 31.07 psi. The B3 mixtures showed that increasing R1 dosage impro
ved cracking resistance but reduced high-temperature strength\, indicating
the need for careful dosage control. Overall\, the balanced mix design fr
amework was effective in identifying a candidate 100% RAP mixture that sat
isfied the NYSDOT cracking and rutting criteria. Additional validation thr
ough aging\, moisture susceptibility testing\, plant production\, and fiel
d monitoring is recommended before implementation.
