In this paper, we generalize the integer-order cable model of the neuron system into the fractional-order domain, where the long memory dependence of the fractional derivative can be a better fit for the neuron response. Furthermore, the chaotic synchronization with a gap junction of two or multi-coupled-neurons of fractional-order are discussed. The circuit model, fractional-order state equations and the numerical technique are introduced in this paper for individual and multiple coupled neuron systems with different fractional-orders. Various examples are introduced with different fractional orders using the nonstandard finite difference scheme together with the Grunwald-Letnikov discretization process which is easily implemented and reliably accurate.

Xuecui Zou, Usman Yaqoob, Hussein Hussein, Khaled N. Salama, Hossein Fariborzi

Summary: This paper presents a compact and reconfigurable current readout system based on MEMS resonators. The system generates analog and digital outputs by adjusting the resonant frequency of the microbeam through electrothermal means. Experimental results show a linear relationship between frequency shift and current squared, making the single resonator suitable for high-resolution measurements.

Saptami Suresh Shetty, Jehad K. El-Demellawi, Yusuf Khan, Mohamed N. Hedhili, P. Arul, Veerappan Mani, Husam N. Alshareef, Khaled Nabil Salama

Summary: The research team synthesized Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets stabilized with iron single-atom catalysts (Fe-SACs) as efficient electrocatalysts for the determination of catecholamine in neuroblastoma and pheochromocytoma. The Fe-SACs/Ti3C2Tx sensor showed low oxidation overpotentials, high signal amplifications, and sensitive detection limits for dopamine and its end-products. It was found to be practically useful in tracking the in situ production of dopamine and analyzing human urine samples, making it a sensitive diagnostic platform for evaluating tumor progression and cellular dopamine communications.

Fabrication and Characterization of Porous Microneedles for Enhanced Fluid Injection and Suction: A Two-Photon Polymerization Approach

Esraa Fakeih, Andres A. Aguirre-Pablo, Sigurdur T. Thoroddsen, Khaled N. Salama

Summary: This study investigates the design and fabrication of porous microneedles (MNs) and finds that injection through porous MNs results in a broader diffusion spread compared to hollow MNs. Three different designs of porous MNs with a constant pore size and controlled pore locations are fabricated using two-photon polymerization (2PP), and factors such as diffusion spread, mixing capabilities, and mechanical resilience are examined. The results show that porous MNs can cover 16 times the injection area of hollow MNs and demonstrate good mixing capabilities and mechanical strength.

Towards Efficient In-Memory Computing Hardware for Quantized Neural Networks: State-of-the-Art, Open Challenges and Perspectives

Olga Krestinskaya, Li Zhang, Khaled Nabil Salama

Summary: The increasing amount of data processed in the cloud, the development of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, and the growing concerns about data privacy are driving the transition from cloud-based to edge-based processing. Limited energy and computational resources on the edge are pushing the move from traditional von Neumann architectures to In-memory Computing (IMC), especially for machine learning and neural network applications. Network compression techniques, such as quantization, are being applied to implement neural networks on limited hardware resources, reducing memory footprint, latency, and energy consumption. This article provides a comprehensive review of IMC-based Quantized Neural Networks (QNN) and connects software-based quantization approaches to IMC hardware implementation, while addressing open challenges, QNN design requirements, recommendations, and perspectives, along with an IMC-based QNN hardware roadmap.
