This study proposes a novel framework using graph convolutional networks to analyze and interpret X-ray diffraction patterns, addressing challenges in phase identification for multi-phase materials. By representing X-ray diffraction patterns as graphs, the framework captures both local and global relationships between diffraction peaks, enabling accurate phase identification even in the presence of overlapping peaks and noisy data. The framework outperforms traditional machine learning models, achieving a precision of 0.

In this work, we report three G4-targeted theranostic probes by conjugating a pyridostatin-derived G4 ligand to G4-specific iridium(III) complexes with desirable photophysical properties. These probes showed specifically enhanced luminescence to mitochondrial G4 in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells.

This paper focuses on the increase in dengue fever cases in Maryland during increasing temperature and humidity and the expanding geographical range of Aedes mosquitoes, the primary vectors for dengue virus transmission.
Methods: Electronic health data was used to identify patterns in dengue incidence from 2014 to 2024.
