Plasma‐Engineered Polyethylene‐Reinforced Anion Exchange Membranes With Low Ionic Resistance and Low Hydrogen Crossover for Water Electrolysis

ABSTRACT Anion exchange membrane water electrolysis (AEMWE) enables low‐cost green hydrogen production but remains limited by the delicate balance among ionic resistance, gas crossover, and mechanical durability in hydrocarbon‐based membranes. Although reinforced composite membra...

A Stateful Fuzzing Methodology for Security Verification of 5G Core Equipment

As fifth-generation (5G) networks evolve toward open and software-based architectures, security verification of the NG Application Protocol (NGAP) between the radio access network and the 5G core has become increasingly important. This paper proposes a stateful security verificat...

Accelerating SMAUG‐T using the number theoretic transform on modern high‐end CPUs

Abstract We enhance the performance of SMAUG‐T, the winning algorithm of South Korea's Post‐Quantum Cryptography competition, by applying an NTT‐friendly ring homomorphism tailored to x86/64 and AVX2/AVX‐512. This paper makes two main contributions: (i) We integrate the NTT into...

Machine Learning Guided Meta-transcriptomics Reveals OsRPM1 as a Key Regulator of Rice Blast Resistance

Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae , is the most destructive fungal disease of rice, responsible for annual yield losses of 10–30% and posing a major threat to global food security. The rapid evolution of blast pathotypes and the polygenic nature of resistance complicate br...

Cross-Sectional and Prospective Associations of Carbonated Soft Drink Consumption, BDNF Val66Met Polymorphism, and Psychological Distress

Background/Objectives: Few prospective studies have investigated the association between carbonated soft drink (CSD) consumption and psychological distress (PD) among adults. The current study aimed to examine this association according to the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism and to co...

Repositioning of cis-flupentixol for the suppression of ovarian cancer cell migration and invasion through ERK5 inhibition

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, largely because of its late-stage diagnosis and limited effective screening modalities. Despite therapeutic advances, high relapse rates and therapeutic resistance—particularly in metastatic disease—underscore...

Reconfiguration of Localized Ruthenium Surface via Incorporating Single Platinum Atoms for Favorable Hydrogen Oxidation Catalysis

ABSTRACT Despite the fact that only 2% of active sites can satisfy hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) activity thanks to fast kinetics, the fuel cell anode is still dependent on catalysts with large amounts of platinum (Pt). Herein, a minimal‐cost ruthenium catalyst bearing ultral...

Metabolic responses of diet–exercise combinations in women with obesity: a comparative lifestyle intervention study with different diet types

Obesity represents a major global public health challenge, particularly among women, and is associated with adverse metabolic and endocrine outcomes. his study evaluated the effects of ketogenic, intermittent fasting (IF), and semi-vegetarian diets, alone or combined with home-ba...
