Deep Defence on Wheels: A Dual Intrusion Detection System Architecture for Comprehensive In-Vehicle Network Security

The combination of increasing connectivity to the outside world and the lack of inbuilt security mechanisms has made legacy intra-vehicular networks extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks. Consequently, significant research has been devoted to analysing the impact of potential atta...

The Local Virial Theorem in Electron Localization Function Partitions

Abstract The local form of the virial theorem provides a stringent condition for assessing whether a spatial region behaves as a mechanically closed subsystem in molecular space. While basins derived from the topology of the electron density satisfy this condition by construction...

Computational Design of Three-Dimensional Nitrogenated Holey Graphene Structures with Phase-Dependent Optoelectronic Properties

Abstract In this work, we propose and comprehensively characterize two novel three-dimensional nitrogenated holey graphene (3D-NHG) structures, designated as the α and β phases. These architectures are predicted through a computational protocol based on the controlled compression...

Second-Sphere Protonation Imparts a Biologically Relevant Potential Shift in a Chlorophyll Model Compound

Abstract Electrostatic protein-pigment interactions have been implicated in tuning the electron transfer chemistry of chlorophylls in vivo; however, these effects are difficult to probe directly, leading to a dearth of experimental data that limits our understanding. Herein, we r...

Uncovering the role of ionic doping in hydroxyapatite: the building blocks of tooth enamel and bones

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the primary mineral component of various mineralized tissues in the human body, including bone and teeth, where it performs critical roles of structural support and load transmission. In the context of dental health, the two most crucial properties of HAp...

Chiral Morphology in MoS2 Nanostructures for Spin-Polarized Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysis

Abstract Controlling chirality in inorganic nanostructures offers a powerful route to tailoring their electronic and catalytic functions. Here, we demonstrate that the chiral morphology of metallic 1T-MoS2 nanosheets can be precisely tuned to modulate spin-dependent properties vi...

Bias-Driven Hot-Correlated Electrons in the Two-Dimensional Ferromagnet Fe4GeTe2

Abstract Electronic correlations can strongly influence the properties of magnetic materials, yet their role in charge transport in devices under operating conditions remains largely unexplored. Here, we show that an applied bias voltage can drive a breakdown of quasiparticle coh...

Glucose-Derived Carbon Materials via Hydrothermal Carbonization and Pyrolysis for Electrochemical Applications

Abstract Carbon materials are widely used in electrochemical technologies due to their tunable structure and chemical versatility. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of biomass offers a sustainable synthesis route, yet quantitative links between processing conditions and material p...

Predicting SILENT after lithium poisoning: a multicenter cohort study and pragmatic risk stratification model

INTRODUCTION: The Syndrome of Irreversible Lithium-Effectuated Neurotoxicity (SILENT) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of lithium poisoning. Current evidence rests on case reports and small series, leaving its true incidence, risk factors, and follow-up tools po...

Modelling the photocatalytic oxidation of methane and other air pollutants for applications in ventilation systems

Photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) is a promising strategy for indoor air purification and outdoor pollutant abatement, potentially offering treatment for climate- and health-relevant pollutants such as methane (CH$_4$), nitrogen oxides (NO$_\text{x}$) and volatile organic compounds...

Benchmark Brown Dwarfs as Chemical Laboratories: Linking System Bulk Properties to Atmospheric Retrievals

Abstract We present the first atmospheric retrieval analysis of two compositional benchmark mid-L dwarfs – SDSSJ141659.78+500626.4 and GJ 499 C – using the Brewster retrieval framework, where the wide benchmark nature of these systems provides independent constraints on age and b...

You’re free when you choose what i like: Flexible attributions of free choice under manipulation

The existence of mechanisms that operate below conscious awareness (e.g. unconscious bias, microtargeting, dark patterns) and the degree to which they may threaten our autonomy fascinate and challenge us in equal measure. Although concepts like free will and consciousness are bei...

Are individual differences in “unconstrained thought” meaningfully distinct from spontaneous and deliberate mind wandering?

Here, we developed the Unconstrained Thought Questionnaire (UTQ) to assess the dynamics of unconstrained thought (or ‘mind wandering’), as described by the Dynamic Framework. We aimed to determine whether the UTQ’s measure of unconstrained thought provides unique explanatory powe...

P1.005. Preliminary Pilot Study Cohort Results - Cost-Effective Surveillance Strategies and Prediction of Cancer Recurrence After Endoscopic Therapy for Barrett’s Esophagus (Endeavor)

Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Barrett‘s Esophagus: High-Grade Dysplasia and Early Invasive Cancer Background In many European countries, esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) incidence is increasing [1]. Barrett’s esophagus(BE), strongly associated with EAC, can progress via dyspla...

Constructing Jacobians of rank 1
