A Survey on Cybersecurity Threats in Industrial and Information Technology Environments: Advancements and Resilience Through Network Steganographic Techniques

The complex interplay of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) daily supports critical infrastructures managing energy, transportation, manufacturing, and utilities. Due to their importance, the number of attacks targeting IT/OT scenarios has increased. The...

Acute toxicity and tissue deposition of graphene oxide decorated with platinum nanoparticles following intraperitoneal administration in rats

Recently developed novel graphene oxide decorated with platinum nanoparticles (GO/PtNPs) has been recognized for its anticancer properties. Therefore, in vivo studies assessing the toxicity and tissue deposition of these particles are needed. Using a fixed-dose acute toxicity des...

Normalized complex logistic wavelets: Fourier transforms and generating functions

We introduce a family of complex logistic mother wavelets generated by higher-order derivatives of an analytically shifted logistic function. Explicit closed-form expressions are obtained for the Fourier transforms of all derivatives, while the higher-order derivatives themselves...

Inverse scattering in biological samples via beam propagation

Multiple scattering limits optical imaging in thick biological samples by scrambling sample-specific information. Physics-based inverse-scattering methods aim to computationally recover this information, often using non-convex optimization to reconstruct the scatter-corrected sam...

Cholesterol-Enriched Membranes Reshape the Conformational Ensemble and Interfacial Mechanics of ACE2

Abstract Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a type I transmembrane protein that functions as the primary entry receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). ACE2 comprises a zinc-dependent extracellular domain (ECD) and forms homodimers, as res...

Habit, choice, priming, and activity as flow: rethinking metaphorical models of action and cognition in cognitive linguistics

Abstract This article proposes a reconceptualization of action and cognition within Cognitive Linguistics (CL) by re-examining its foundational metaphorical models. While meaning in the field is often defined as embodied and usage-based, its dominant metaphors remain static, priv...

ActivAsk: Free-Energy-Guided Clarification for Robotic Grasping Under Ambiguous Instructions

Service robots often receive natural language instructions in changing workspaces where multiple visible objects may match one description. Relying on detector confidence, random selection, or direct vision–language model (VLM) prediction can lead to a wrong action. This paper pr...

Between city and countryside: The (un)sustainable development of peri-urban areas (PUA) of large cities in Poland – The case of Warsaw

The paper investigates the dynamics of spatial development in the peri-urban area of Warsaw, Poland. It focuses on the processes of suburbanization and urban sprawl occurring within the city's administrative boundaries and its neighbouring rural municipalities. Drawing on spatial...

Learning to Self‐Interfere: Zero‐Shot Deconvolution Enables Replica‐Free, Low‐Coherence Common‐Path Quantitative Phase Microscopy

ABSTRACT Digital holographic microscopy (DHM) enables full‐field, label‐free, and high‐precision quantitative phase imaging (QPI), yet its performance is often limited by speckle noise, parasitic artifacts, and vibration sensitivity resulting from the highly coherent illumination...

Existence, Uniqueness, and Long-Time Asymptotic Behavior of Regular Solutions in Multidimensional Thermoelasticity

Abstract. We study a simplified nonlinear thermoelasticity model on two- and three-dimensional tori. A novel functional involving the Fisher information associated with temperature is introduced, extending the previous one-dimensional approach from the first two authors [ SIAM J....

Stereodivergent Sequential One‐Pot/Two‐Step Photo‐Biocatalytic Cascade for the Synthesis of Enantioenriched 1‐Arylalkan‐1‐ols From α‐Methylstyrenes

Artificial photo‐biocatalytic cascades offer an attractive platform for the sustainable and selective synthesis of high‐value chiral molecules. Here, we report a sequential one‐pot/two‐step cascade that integrates metal‐free photoredox catalysis with alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)‐m...

Integrated Multi-Omics and Interactome Analysis of CDK8 Inhibition Reveals Erythroid Differentiation Programs and Therapeutic Synergy with BET Blockade in AML

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a therapeutically challenging malignancy driven by the self-renewal, quiescence, and therapy resistance of leukaemic stem cells (LSCs). CDK8, a kinase component of the Mediator complex, regulates oncogenic transcription, and the selective CDK8/CDK...

Linear and nonlinear modelling for capacity assessment of Saxon Street overbridge BFO/1B

This paper presents a summary of the assessment of Saxon Street overbridge (BFO/1B), located in Milton Keynes, as conducted by AtkinsRéalis to determine the bridge’s remaining live load capacity. Previous assessments indicated that the bridge was unable to support rail live loadi...
