An Evidence-Based Framework for Hardware Security Evaluation Using Side-Channel Analysis: Leakage Detection, Key-Recovery Validation, and Robustness Assessment

Side-channel analysis (SCA) remains a significant threat to embedded cryptographic implementations, yet hardware security evaluation often lacks a systematic workflow that links leakage detection, exploitability validation, trace-efficiency estimation, and robustness assessment....

Transitivity of mutation of τ‐exceptional sequences in the τ‐tilting finite case

Abstract We prove that mutation of complete ‐exceptional sequences is transitive for ‐tilting finite algebras.

Green Taxes, Greener Firms? Institutional Influences on Corporate Environmental Responses

ABSTRACT Existing literature has paid limited attention to whether higher environmental taxation, measured as environmental tax revenue intensity, is associated with greater corporate environmental sustainability and whether the quality of national governance complements or subst...

Hydropower regulation reshapes littoral invertebrate communities: functional traits reveal impacts beyond richness and abundance

Abstract Freshwater lake ecosystems are increasingly affected by altered water level fluctuations (WLF) from hydropower regulation, yet impacts on lake biodiversity remain understudied. We investigated how regulation influences Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) comm...

University Students’ Preferred Models of Chemical Bonding

Abstract This paper shows how students’ preferred model of covalent bonding, exemplified by the hydrogen molecule, changes during their first two years of university studies. It analyzes some differences between first-year, second-year, and third-year students and between student...

In-line monitoring of the material extrusion additive manufacturing process by non-destructive methodologies

Abstract This work involves the monitoring of the Material Extrusion (MEX) additive manufacturing process (also known as Fused Filament Fabrication, FFF) for polymeric materials through the combined application of Infrared Thermography (IrT) and Acoustic Emission (AE) methodologi...

Application of deep learning to estimate blue and fin whale call density in the southern California Current Ecosystem

Abstract Blue ( Balaenoptera musculus ) and fin whales ( Balaenoptera physalus ) are dominant contributors to low-frequency ocean soundscapes, yet reliably extracting their calls from long-term passive acoustic recordings is methodologically challenging. Here, we train a multi-cl...

Keyphrase identification using minimal labeled data with hierarchical contexts and transfer learning

Interoperable clinical decision support system (CDSS) rules provide a pathway to interoperability, a well-recognized challenge in health information technology. Building an ontology facilitates creating interoperable CDSS rules, and identifying the keyphrases (KP) from the existi...

Development and Pilot Evaluation of a Chemistry Capital Questionnaire: Factor Structure and Internal Consistency

Abstract This study describes the development and evaluation of the Chemistry Capital (ChemCap) Questionnaire, an instrument designed to measure domain-specific social and cultural resources in chemistry education. Drawing on the broader science capital framework, chemistry capit...

Artefact‐aware Brillouin microscopy framework for root mechanical phenotyping

Plant roots continuously sense and respond to the mechanical signals of their growth environment: root cap function, mucilage secretion, and hormonal regulation jointly adapt root tip mechanics, shaping whether roots penetrate compacted layers or reorient around obstacles. Most c...

Puzzle-like virtual reconstruction of fragmented historical textiles using graph-based learning

Abstract Reconstructing fragmented historical textiles is challenging because of irregular shapes, erosion, and missing boundary cues. We present a graph-based deep learning framework that predicts likely adjacencies between fragments, functioning as a recommendation system for v...

Defining catch-up growth in lung function between adolescence and adulthood: A 25-year population-based study

Background Lung function (LF) development from adolescence to adulthood varies widely. Two related but distinct phenomena are relevant: pronounced growth (large positive change in FEV 1 z-score) and classical catch-up (crossing the lower limit of normal). We aimed to quantify bot...

Direct and indirect estimation of reference limits for hematologic parameters in adults included in the HUNT study

Reliable reference limits for hematological parameters are essential for clinical interpretation. In this study, we estimated reference limits for hemoglobin, erythrocytes and MCH using direct and indirect methods on data from the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT). Results from 53,59...

Photo-guided azopolymer hydrogel actuators

Amorphous azopolymers are fascinating materials that can be deformed in arbitrary directions by light. However, they are so far used mostly for microfabrication, to anisotropically reshape dry polymer structures - essentially as a post-processing fabrication step. This is because...

CRISP: grade-separated chaos modeling for random RIS architectures via Clifford Wiener-Itô expansion

Abstract This paper presents CRISP, a grade-separated chaos modeling framework for random reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) architectures. Conventional RIS models typically represent the surface response by scalar phase shifts and treat the resulting channel as determinist...

Brain defence by the extracellular matrix protein Cochlin

Abstract The vertebrate brain is protected from infection by tight barriers. However, several barrier structures, including circumventricular organs, can be breached by pathogens. Here, we show that Cochlin, an extracellular matrix-binding protein with anti-bacterial properties,...

Reduced BVOC emissions from birch forest understory during coupled insect outbreak and microclimatic forcing

Abstract Insect outbreaks are intensifying across high-latitude forests, yet their effects on biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions from understory vegetation remain poorly resolved under natural outbreak conditions. Here, we examine how a severe geometrid moth outb...

Radiocarbon dating with cosmic radiation events: problems and unexplored possibilities

This article investigates the potential of Miyake events-short-term spikes in radiocarbon production caused by cosmic radiation-for achieving single-year precision in archaeological dating. Building on recent sub-annual measurements of tree rings, we examine the implications of s...

Implementing school-based nutrition interventions in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review of implementation strategies, frameworks, and outcomes

School-based nutrition interventions are widely used to improve nutrition among children and adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. This scoping review examined implementation strategies, theories, models, frameworks, and implementation outcomes reported for school-base...

Device measured physical activity among women with and without adverse pregnancy outcomes: Data from the HUNT study

Background Women with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), small for gestational age (SGA) offspring, preterm birth and placental abruption, are at increased risk of cardiovascula...
