Quantum optical networks are instrumental in addressing the fundamental questions and enable applications ranging from communication to computation and, more recently, machine learning (ML). In particular, photonic artificial neural networks (ANNs) offer the opportunity to exploit the advantages of both classical and quantum optics. Photonic neuro-inspired computation and ML have been successfully demonstrated in classical settings, while quantum optical networks have triggered breakthrough applications such as teleportation, quantum key distribution and quantum computing.

In contrast, intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs) do not fold into a stable 3D structure, thus it remains unknown when and how function is conserved for IDRs that experience rapid amino acid sequence divergence. As a model system for studying the evolution of IDRs, we examined transcriptional activation domains, the regions of transcription factors that bind to coactivator complexes.

- Dysregulation of the HPA axis due to chronic stress during pregnancy and parenthood can negatively affect the health of parents and children.
- Hair cortisol concentration (HCC) is a useful long-term indicator of cortisol levels, reflecting chronic stress over several months as opposed to shorter assessments.
- Two longitudinal studies found that higher chronic stress is linked to increased HCC in pregnant women and mothers, revealing that different stressors (like work, family demands, and discrimination) can uniquely affect cortisol levels during the perinatal period and postpartum.
Purpose: Patient hesitancy to use MC due to the fear of negative social implications leads to intentional non-adherence and compromises therapeutic outcomes. Hence, we aimed to determine the rate of patient adherence to MC and explore factors influencing patient MC use.
Methods: Demographic and quantitative data related to MC usage were extracted from medical records for patients prescribed MC at a single cancer centre in metropolitan Sydney.
