TITLE<\/strong>: MULTI-LEVEL, MULTI-PROTOCOL AUTONOMOUS INTRUSION DETECTION FRAMEWORK FOR INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONAL-TECHNOLOGY NETWORKS<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT: <\/strong>Modern industrial facilities such as power grids, water treatment plants, and manufacturing lines increasingly connect their operational-technology (OT) systems to enterprise IT networks. This convergence improves efficiency but widens the attack surface, because industrial protocols such as MQTT, Modbus TCP, and DNP3 were designed for reliability and interoperability long before cybersecurity became a central design concern. These protocols now carry traffic across multiple levels of the Purdue reference model, yet most existing intrusion detection research addresses only a single protocol, stops at producing an alert, gives little attention to where a detector should sit in the network, and offers operators limited insight into why an alert was raised. This dissertation proposes and evaluates a multi-level, multi-protocol autonomous intrusion detection framework for these converged environments. The framework places a dedicated passive detection agent at the correct Purdue level for each protocol: MQTT at the integration level (Level 3.5), Modbus TCP at the supervisory-control level (Levels 1\u20132), and DNP3 at the field-device level (Level 1). Each agent follows the same four-step process. It passively observes traffic, extracts protocol-specific features, classifies the traffic with a machine-learning model, and produces an English explanation for the operator through a rule-based content-awareness layer. This explanation approach is deterministic and fully auditable, which suits safety-critical OT settings; large-language-model-based explanation is reserved as future work.The methodology combined benchmark evaluation, feature extraction directly from raw packet captures, supervised learning, imbalance-treatment comparison, deliberate leakage prevention, and behavior-only ablation testing, validated end-to-end in the ICS-SimLab containerized testbed. Across all three protocols, Random Forest proved the most defensible classifier. SMOTE consistently outperformed naive upsampling on MQTT but produced classifier-dependent results on Modbus TCP. Per-packet timing features dominated detection across every protocol, though ablations showed that full-feature performance relied partly on network-identity features, an honest limit on cross-site transfer. The study finds that a passive, explainable, availability-preserving autonomous framework is feasible across multiple industrial protocols, while future work must validate cross-agent coordination, cross-site transfer, robustness against evasive attacks, and production deployment.<\/p>\n

TITLE<\/strong>: DETERMINANTS OF TRUCK DRIVER RETENTION IN SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED TRUCKING COMPANIES<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT:<\/strong> Turnover among drivers continues to pose significant labor challenges for small and medium-sized trucking firms, resulting in increased costs related to recruiting and training new employees, underutilized vehicles, delayed deliveries, and instability in organizations. The main goal of this proposed quantitative research is to explore the financial, working, and organizational variables affecting the retention of truck drivers in companies that own and operate from 2 to 100 power units. Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory will be used as the basis of the study and will help to investigate such hygiene variables as pay, perks, home time, scheduling, vehicle conditions, safety procedures, and relationships with supervisors, as well as motivators, such as recognition, accountability, training, and career growth. The data will be gathered using two separate surveys, one conducted with drivers and another \u2013 with managers or business owners responsible for employing and retaining drivers. Such an approach will help to contrast the experience of truck drivers with the perspective of management in relation to their employment and retention practices. The ordinal logistic regression will help to establish whether some of these factors are significantly linked to the order of likelihood that drivers leave the company.<\/p>\n

TITLE<\/strong>: STRATEGIES FOR SCALING DISTANCE LEARNING AT HBCUS<\/p>\n

ABSTRACT:<\/strong> Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) continue to face systemic challenges in scaling distance learning, including limited funding, uneven faculty preparation, and technological inequities. These barriers constrain institutional capacity for growth, enrollment, and retention while complicating efforts to replicate the culturally affirming, community-centered environment of HBCU campuses in virtual settings. Addressing these issues requires equitable, sustainable approaches that integrate cultural responsiveness with digital innovation. This phenomenologically informed multiple-case study investigates both the institutional barriers and the lived experiences of faculty, students, IT leaders, and administration engaged in expanding distance learning at HBCUs. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theoretical extensions TAM2, supplemented by selected TAM3 antecedents and paired with Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory, guide the study\u2019s examination of stakeholder perceptions of digital transformation, readiness, and culturally relevant pedagogy in resource-constrained HBCU contexts (Davis, 1989; Venkatesh & Davis, 2000; Venkatesh & Bala, 2008; Rogers, 2003). The research will be conducted at two HBCUs in Texas, a large public institution and a small private institution.\u00a0 They were selected to provide contrasting institutional contexts. Data will be collected through eight semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders, including one representative from each of four groups.\u00a0 By capturing insights from these diverse roles at two distinct institutions, the study seeks to generate a nuanced understanding of how technological initiatives are perceived, implemented, and experienced within HBCU environments. The findings are expected to inform best practices for integrating technology inclusively and effectively in higher education. (No results are reported in this proposal, as the study is yet to be conducted; however, the anticipated contribution is a set of recommendations and insights tailored to large public and small private HBCU contexts.) The scholarly approach, purposeful sampling strategy, and focus on multiple stakeholders will ensure the research is robust and aligned with qualitative research standards (Creswell & Poth, 2018; Yin, 2018). Findings aim to scale digital infrastructure, foster faculty development, and promote culturally grounded online learning ecosystems that advance access, equity, and institutional sustainability across HBCUs.<\/p>\n
