Protein–membrane interactions are increasingly recognized as key factors in amyloid-related pathologies, where amyloid proteins associate with lipid bilayers in ways that influence aggregation pathways and cytotoxic effects. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have become essential tools for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying these interactions. [...]

Graph representation is a powerful abstraction of real-world objects and relations. Computing the Graph Edit Distance (GED) between graphs is critical in domains such as bioinformatics, machine learning, and pattern recognition [...]

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising technology for securing critical power-system communications, but its use for real-time synchrophasor traffic has seen limited experimental validation. This paper presents a laboratory experimental implementation of QKD-based protection for realtime IEEE C37.118 synchrophasor data. [...]

Fluorine-18 plays a pivotal role in radiopharmaceuticals for positron emission tomography (PET) due to its favorable nuclear decay properties. Depending on the production method, fluorine-18 can be obtained in two distinct chemical forms: electrophilic [18F]fluorine gas and nucleophilic [18F]fluoride. [...]

We propose an improved Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) for modeling two-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection by predicting time increments instead of full solutions, achieving higher accuracy than a standard FNO baseline. The resulting model is compact (314k parameters, 1.26 MB) and fast (7 ms inference), while maintaining similar accuracy as demonstrated in previous benchmarks. [...]

This chapter provides an overview of the fundamental framework of scattering theory, which is widely used in particle physics to describe and interpret interactions among elementary particles. We explore how transition amplitudes enable the analysis of data from scattering experiments and the extraction of resonance parameters. [...]

In this section different theoretical approaches toward multi-quark states are introduced, namely hadrocharmonia, compact tetraquarks and hadronic molecules. The predictions derived from either of them are contrasted with current and possible future observations. [...]

This chapter outlines the development of an initial sustainable business and funding framework for EMPHASIS, a distributed ESFRI Research Infrastructure dedicated to multi-scale plant phenotyping, at the end of its Preparatory Phase. The developed framework is intended to provide decision-making support for ministries representing potential members of EMPHASIS in its Operational Phase. [...]
