Theranostics - a sure cure for cancer after 100 years?
(2024)TheranosticsCancer has remained a formidable challenge in medicine and has claimed an enormous number of lives worldwide. Theranostics, combining diagnostic methods with personalized therapeutic approaches, shows huge potential to advance the battle against cancer. This review aims to provide an overview of theranostics in oncology: exploring its history, current advances, challenges, and prospects. We present the fundamental evolution of theranostics ...Journal Article -
The Impulse Particle-In-Cell Method
(2024)Computer Graphics ForumAn ongoing challenge in fluid animation is the faithful preservation of vortical details, which impacts the visual depiction of flows. We propose the Impulse Particle-In-Cell (IPIC) method, a novel extension of the popular Affine Particle-In-Cell (APIC) method that makes use of the impulse gauge formulation of the fluid equations. Our approach performs a coupled advection-stretching during particle-based advection to better preserve ...Journal Article -
Ethylene control in fruit quality assurance: A material science perspective
(2024)AGGREGATEThe waste of resources associated with fruit decay is rapidly spreading globally, threatening the interests of relevant practitioners and the health of consumer groups, and demanding precise solutions. Controlling fruit ripening through ethylene regulation is one of the most important strategies for providing high-quality fruits. However, current materials for ethylene regulation still have difficulty realizing their application potential ...Review Article -
Photonics of Hydrothermally Treated β-Lactoglobulin Amyloids
(2024)Small ScienceIncreased temperature and high pressure are applied to beta-lactoglobulin fibrils in the autoclave, resulting in the acquisition of a composite material comprised of partially disassembled amyloid fibrils and carbon dots. Confirmation of the preservation of the beta-sheet motif attributed to amyloids in the hydrothermally treated fibrils is obtained through wide-angle X-ray scattering and ThT assay. Z-scan analysis reveals a two-photon ...Journal Article -
Multimodal In-Vehicle Hypoglycemia Warning for Drivers With Type 1 Diabetes: Design and Evaluation in Simulated and Real-World Driving
(2024)JMIR Human FactorsBackground: Hypoglycemia threatens cognitive function and driving safety. Previous research investigated in-vehicle voice assistants as hypoglycemia warnings. However, they could startle drivers. To address this, we combine voice warnings with ambient LEDs. Objective: The study assesses the effect of in-vehicle multimodal warning on emotional reaction and technology acceptance among drivers with type 1 diabetes. Methods: Two studies were ...Journal Article -
Forest restoration in practice across Latin America
(2024)Biological ConservationForest restoration is a promising solution to counteract climate change, biodiversity loss, and meet a host of socioeconomic objectives. While international initiatives highlight potential contributions of forest restoration as a win-win for people and nature, we lack detailed information on how frontline restoration practitioners are addressing this challenge on the ground. Here, we present a systematic assessment of motivations, scale, ...Journal Article -
Experimental and Numerical Studies on Thick Rubber Bearings under Uniaxial and Offset Tensile Loading
(2024)Journal of Structural Engineering (United States)Thick rubber bearings (TRBs) have been proven to be effective in mitigating horizontal shaking induced by earthquakes as well as railway-induced vertical vibration. During earthquake excitations, TRBs might be subjected to tension, which should be carefully assessed during design. This paper presents experimental and numerical studies on the behavior of TRBs under tensile loading. Four full-scale thick natural rubber bearing (TNRB) and ...Journal Article -
Classical Shadow Tomography for Continuous Variables Quantum Systems
(2024)IEEE Transactions on Information TheoryIn this article we develop a continuous variable (CV) shadow tomography scheme with wide ranging applications in quantum optics. Our work is motivated by the increasing experimental and technological relevance of CV systems in quantum information, quantum communication, quantum sensing, quantum simulations, quantum computing and error correction. We introduce two experimentally realisable schemes for obtaining classical shadows of CV ...Journal Article -
State-Dependent DMC With a Causal Helper
(2024)IEEE Transactions on Information TheoryA memoryless state sequence governing the behavior of a memoryless state-dependent channel is to be described causally to an encoder wishing to communicate over said channel. Given the maximal-allowed description rate, we seek the description that maximizes the Shannon capacity. It is shown that the maximum need not be achieved by a memoryless (symbol-by-symbol) description. Such descriptions are, however, optimal when the receiver is ...Journal Article -
Projected poleward migration of the Southern Ocean CO<inf>2</inf> sink region under high emissions
(2024)Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe Southern Ocean is a major region of ocean carbon uptake, but its future changes remain uncertain under climate change. Here we show the projected shift in the Southern Ocean CO2 sink using a suite of Earth System Models, revealing changes in the mechanism, position and seasonality of the carbon uptake. The region of dominant CO2 uptake shifts from the Subtropical to the Antarctic region under the high-emission scenario. The warming-driven ...Journal Article
