Article Synopsis
  • * The proposed strategy focuses on antineoplastics with low biodegradability and significant ecological risks, utilizing data from São Paulo, Brazil, to predict the mass of these drugs entering waterways and creating a prioritization index based on multiple risk factors.
  • * Key prioritized antineoplastics identified include Paclitaxel and Cisplatin, highlighting the strategy's versatility for adapting to different contexts and improving drug environmental impact assessments.

The utility of quantum computers for simulating lattice gauge theories is currently limited by the noisiness of the physical hardware. Various quantum error mitigation strategies exist to reduce the statistical and systematic uncertainties in quantum simulations via improved algorithms and analysis strategies. We perform quantum simulations of Z_{2} gauge theory with matter to study the efficacy and interplay of different error mitigation methods: readout error mitigation, randomized compiling, rescaling, and dynamical decoupling.

Article Synopsis
  • The study presents a CMOS-based THz sensing platform that integrates advanced sensing techniques with cost-effective, compact electronics.
  • A label-free protein sensing system using highly doped germanium plasmonic antennas on silicon substrates was developed, demonstrating a linear response to varying concentrations of BSA, particularly outperforming traditional materials.
  • The antennas on SOI substrates achieved a sensitivity of 6 GHz/(mg/mL), significantly higher than metal-based alternatives, suggesting potential for affordable lab-on-a-chip biosensing applications.

Ge-on-Si plasmonics holds the promise for compact and low-cost solutions in the manipulation of THz radiation. We discuss here the plasmonic properties of doped Ge bow-tie antennas made with a low-point cost CMOS mainstream technology. These antennas display resonances between 500 and 700 GHz, probed by THz time domain spectroscopy.

Cultural competency in medicine is not possible unless language differences are addressed effectively. Many disparities that appear to be based on cultural, socioeconomic, demographic and other differences can be reduced or eliminated with the use of qualified medical interpretation and translation in multilingual situations. The development of this precious resource varies from country to country around the world as most developed countries face increasingly diverse groups of immigrants and refugees as well as inclusion of more indigenous groups of patients.
