Lysine-Based Amphiphiles with Pyrrole, Furan and Thiophene Linkers

The development of efficient cationic amphiphiles remains an important area in the design of nonviral systems for nucleic acid delivery. In this study, we report the synthesis of three lysine-containing lipid-like amphiphiles incorporating pyrrole, furan, and thiophene as five-me...

Thermo-exergetic optimization and local temperature field behavior in multi-tray solar drying systems with double-pass absorbers

Solar drying technology represents a sustainable solution for post-harvest food preservation in tropical regions; however, uneven internal airflow and poor thermal distribution across multi-tray chambers often cause inconsistent product quality and substantial thermodynamic losse...

Entropy-Guided BIST Instruction Set Compression for Auto-CP Embedded Flash Testing

Embedded Flash chip probing (CP) testing in an automotive Microcontroller Unit (MCU) involves long test flows and numerous test items. Conventional BIST-based testing relies on step-by-step Automated Test Equipment (ATE) instruction configuration, status polling, and result reado...

Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses do not indicate timing of prophylactic hysterectomy: a retrospective analysis of endometrial biopsies in Lynch syndrome carriers

Abstract Women with Lynch syndrome are at increased risk of endometrial cancer. Gynecological surveillance is advised, but also prophylactic hysterectomy is an option. This study aimed to gain more insight in tumorigenesis in Lynch carriers to be able to personalize prophylactic...

Encoding Choice Is Associated with Large Differences in Variational Quantum Classifier Performance on Cancer Data Under a Fixed Training Budget

Variational quantum classifiers (VQCs) are often reported to perform poorly on biomedical tabular data, but such conclusions depend on the encoding circuit, the training budget, and the comparison protocol. Methods. We compared 4-qubit VQCs, a quantum-kernel SVM (QSVM), a majorit...
