A noncontact air-floating system with pneumatically modulated excitation for controllable vibration of flexible substrates

Vibration can promote droplet spreading, accelerate liquid leveling, and improve liquid-film morphology, but most existing excitation methods rely on contact. In precision manufacturing of flexible substrates, however, contact is often prohibited. To address this limitation, this...

Assessment of pleural effusion using intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound: a pilot study

Objectives To address the limitations of current imaging modalities, the present study aimed to develop and validate a novel intracavitary contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) approach for the quantitative assessment of pleural effusion (PE) volume and differentiation of exudative...

An efficient partitioning method for curved-surface laser texturing based on bipolar projection and multi-level pruning

Laser surface texturing (LST), as a highly promising technology, is applied to surface functional enhancement by forming special micron/nanometer-level texture structures. Curved-surface LST requires surface partitioning to satisfy laser process constraints. Dedicated partitionin...

PatchPorter: LLM-Driven Security Patch Porting via Version Tracing and Context Selection for NPM

Third-Party Libraries are widely used in modern software development, yet their vulnerabilities pose serious security risks. This issue is particularly severe in the NPM ecosystem, where high-risk 1-day vulnerabilities can remain unpatched for extended periods. Although upgrading...

The development of Japanese medical ethics education from 1950s and its lessons for China

Abstract: Background: Modern medical technology has significantly advanced human health and well-being, yet it has also introduced complex ethical challenges that require careful navigation. In this context, medical ethics education plays a crucial role in guiding clinical practi...

LogicHunter: Testing LLM Agent Frameworks with an Agentic Oracle

Large Language Model (LLM) agent frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, and CrewAI have become critical infrastructure powering production AI systems, yet they remain severely under-tested due to fundamental challenges in automated testing. Unlike traditional software, where c...

A Temporal Reasoning Benchmarking Framework for LRMs via Difficulty-Controlled and Dynamic Test Generation

Defining the reasoning boundaries and ensuring the reliability of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) remains a critical challenge. Current benchmarks primarily rely on static datasets susceptible to data contamination or synthetic tasks lacking fine-grained difficulty control. Further...

CLIR: Liveness-Driven and Structure-Aware Fuzzing for the Cranelift Compiler

Modern compilers are complex software systems that must correctly translate high-level programming languages into machine code across multiple architectures. Cranelift, a fast and modern compiler backend originally developed for WebAssembly and recently adopted as an experimental...

MalTotal: Cost-Effective and Language-Agnostic Malicious Code Poisoning Detection for Millions of Repositories

The widespread adoption of open source software (OSS) has introduced significant security risks, with malicious code poisoning attacks increasingly targeting public package registries and open-source platforms. Existing detection approaches, including heuristic-, learning-, and L...

Diagnostic Performance of Donor‐derived Cell‐free DNA Combined With Immune Activation Markers for Detecting Acute Rejection After Liver Transplantation

BACKGROUND: Accurate differentiation of acute rejection (AR) from other causes of graft dysfunction after liver transplantation remains challenging in real-world clinical practice. Although donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) has emerged as a promising non-invasive biomarker o...

Analysis and prediction of research vessel attitude based on full-scale operational data

This study uses full-scale operational data from a large research vessel to perform statistical characterization and guide the selection of data-driven prediction models. A simplified Long Short-Term Memory-based (LSTM-based) framework, referred to as LSTM-FC, is developed for co...

Topological Dirac cluster synchronization on directed hypergraphs

Abstract Topological higher-order synchronization reveals collective phenomena demonstrating how topology shapes dynamics, yet providing a general theoretical framework for designing and controlling dynamical states on higher-order networks remains a challenge of the field. Here...

Launching the Optoelectronics Journal

The past decade has witnessed transformative progress across optoelectronics, where photon-electron transduction underpins core infrastructure for high-capacity optical communications, advanced imaging, distributed sensing, quantum technologies and emerging AI photonic hardware [...

Structural basis of the transport mechanism of hBGT1

In the kidney and liver, the betaine/γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter 1 (BGT1) transports betaine to maintain the osmotic balance of renal medullary cells and reduce the toxicity of homocysteine accumulation. In the brain, BGT1 reuptakes GABA from the synaptic cleft into gl...

Differentiable Discrete Symplectic Cosmology: Forward Simulation and Inverse Reconstruction of CMB-like Fluctuations

An inverse-logarithmic-square evolution law, motivated by numerical studies of non-autonomous maps and Riemann zeros, has been proposed as a generator of CMB-like fluctuations. We isolate its linear lattice sector and ask which features of a temperature sky can identify the evolu...

PDSVF: Prompt-driven SAM-Med2D with parallel ViT and state-space fusion for skin lesion segmentation

Accurate segmentation of skin lesions in dermoscopic images underpins computer-aided diagnosis of skin cancer. The task is difficult: lesions show blurred, low-contrast boundaries, vary widely in scale, shape, and color, and are often obscured by hair and other imaging artifacts....

An Inverse-Squared-Logarithm Hubble Normalization: Conditional Distance Fits and Scalar-Field Reconstructions

Motivated by our numerical study of a non-autonomous spectral construction, we test inverse-squared-logarithm time dependence of an effective Hubble normalization, with exponential and power-law forms as comparisons. The extension from an iteration-dependent parameter to cosmic t...

Response-Adapted Postoperative Therapy Following Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: a phase II trial

Neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy (NACI) demonstrates promising efficacy in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC), yet its effect on postoperative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy (PORT/POCRT) remains undefined. This open-label phase 2 study (NCT05476965)...

mHolmes improves cross anatomical cadaveric microbiome forecasting for postmortem interval estimation

Forensic microbiology leverages postmortem microbiome succession as a promising biomarker for estimating the postmortem interval (PMI). However, current methods are constrained by sparse sampling (typically 3–5 time points) and limited cross-anatomical generalizability, leading t...
