Summary: This passage discusses the design of large-scale structures with deployability, presenting two main strategies historically used and their limitations. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of paper folding, a novel design approach is proposed to construct large-scale inflatable systems that can lock in place after deployment.

Summary: In this study, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-fluorescence (FL) dual-spectral sensor was developed based on the nanoscale photophysical properties of AuNPs. This sensor enables rapid imaging and accurate quantification of intracellular miRNAs, showing high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducible stability. It has the potential to be a reliable tool for monitoring biomolecular dynamics in living cells.

Summary: Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing causes significant economic losses, damage to aquatic life, and human rights violations. Vessel tracking data can help combat this issue, but the disabling of transponders reduces its effectiveness. A global dataset reveals that up to 6% of vessel activity is obscured, with hot spots of disabling located near Argentina, West African nations, and the Northwest Pacific. Disabling is most prevalent near transshipment hot spots and contested EEZ boundaries. The study also suggests a connection between disabling and hiding locations from competitors and pirates.

Summary: Rapid growth in the information technology industry has led to exponential increase in data, requiring frequent upgrades of servers to high performance machines. Unfortunately, high-end servers and cooling systems consume significant energy. Hot spots at server inlets lower reliability and durability, as well as cooling efficiency, raising energy costs. This study introduces ventilation efficiency indices and analyzes airflow characteristics contributing to hot spots, finding that adjusting the vertical angle of server exhaust air can effectively suppress hot spots.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of plasmonic coupling on optomechanics using Brillouin light spectroscopy in a nanocomposite system of gold nanorods and polyvinyl alcohol. The intensity of inelastically scattered light on thermal phonons is found to be strongly influenced by the wavelength of the probing light, revealing different vibrational modes for resonant and off-resonant light.

Summary: Degradation of aquatic ecosystems from nutrient pollution is a global issue. This study analyzed the relationship between natural nitrogen removal processes and environmental variables to identify important habitat patches. The results showed weak correlations between denitrification measures and environmental variables, suggesting context dependent factors affecting denitrification rates. A two-method approach integrating long-term and short-term conditions is more likely to identify biogeochemically important habitat patches.

Summary: Origami design concepts are widely used in engineering applications because they can transform complex shapes into folding actions. The interplay between stretching, folding, and facet bending modes in origami structures generates a complex energy landscape for engineering. However, finding rigid and deformable folding paths in this high-dimensional and non-convex energy landscape remains challenging.

Summary: The pervasiveness of tracking devices and availability of spatially located data has increased the interest in using them for policy interventions such as spatial hot spot detection. This paper introduces the concept of fairness in detecting spatial hot spots and presents a method, called FiSH, for efficiently identifying high-quality, fair, and diverse sets of spatial hot spots.
