Summary: This study explores the enhancement of chiral sensing using nanophotonics, achieving superchiral fields beyond the limits of single particles through hybrid metal-dielectric nanostructures. By adjusting the intensity and phase of electric and magnetic fields, and ensuring spatial overlap, optimal optical chirality can be achieved.

Summary: In this work, we present a novel prototype of a reservoir computer (RC) in 65nm CMOS, capable of detecting Malware and micro-architectural attacks in realtime using hardware performance counter (HPC) traces. The test chip achieves high accuracy in classifying Malware and micro-architectural attacks, outperforming digital machine learning models while consuming lower energy.

Summary: This study identified protein biomarkers with altered expression levels in tear samples from women diagnosed with breast cancer. Through LC-MS/MS analysis, 14 potential biomarkers were identified and validated by ELISA. The results showed significantly higher expression of S100A8 and S100A9 in breast cancer patients, while Galectin-3 binding protein had increased expression in the control group. These findings support the use of tear proteins in detecting systemic diseases such as breast cancer.

Summary: The viscosity of mucus fluid affects its transportation, and respiratory system issues may be related to insufficient mucus. Concentration levels during transportation, storage, and distribution are crucial for COVID-19 vaccine delivery. Magnetic force resulting from heat variation has been found to constrain mucus fluid movement. The impact of body forces, thermal conduction, disease chemical reaction, and concentration profile on mucus flow has been analyzed.

Summary: The aim of this research is to investigate the existence of dual solutions for the two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) flow of a micro-polar fluid in a porous media with thermal radiation and suction/injection effects. By considering the porosity and permeability effects, a micro-polar fluid model is created using the Darcy model. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved in closed form using the incomplete gamma function, and the effects of different parameters on the fluid flow are demonstrated graphically.

Summary: Micro magnetic stimulation of the brain via implantable micro-coils is a promising technology for neuromodulation, but careful consideration of the thermodynamic profile is necessary. This study used thermocouples and finite element modeling to examine the thermal gradients generated by bent wire micro-coils during stimulation. By switching coil wire material, the thermal impact of stimulation was significantly reduced below the safety limit.

Summary: The anti-malware solution presented in the study reliably detects Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) malware on production machines by integrating a decoy network interface controller with a layer of kernel code that emulates a target OPC machine. The architecture intercepts OPC malware during their search for target machines on the network and validates the infection by leveraging OPC protocol mechanics. Safe co-existence with production functions and real I/O devices is ensured through a monitor filter driver that removes decoy data bound for the monitor.

Summary: We report a simple and easy to perform experimental protocol for highly selective and real time dual mode detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in aqueous medium through galactose activated silver nanoresonators. The optimized silver nanosensor exhibited an excellent linear response in the concentration range of 50-130 nM with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 2.83 nM.

Summary: This study validated the functionality of flow-excited scour sensors that can operate during extreme events. The piezo-rods were driven into soil to collect scour data and monitor their own structural response. By establishing a velocity-frequency relationship, the accuracy of length prediction of the piezo-rod was improved.

Summary: A sensitive and selective LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of meloxicam and its main metabolite in oral fluid samples. The method demonstrated good linearity, accuracy, precision, stability and dilution. The possibility of a PK/PD study was demonstrated by detecting and quantifying meloxicam, its main metabolite and PGE(2) in oral fluid samples using LC-MS/MS.

Summary: In this study, dewetted SiGe nanoparticles were used for light management in the visible and near-infrared. The Mie resonances sustained by a SiGe-based nanoantenna were found to generate radiation patterns in different directions under tilted illumination. A novel dark-field microscopy setup was introduced to spectrally isolate the Mie resonances contribution to the total scattering cross-section during the same measurement. Benchmarking of the islands' aspect ratio was done using 3D, anisotropic phase-field simulations.
