We have developed an algorithm for recording multiple gradated two-dimensional projection patterns in a single three-dimensional object. When a single pattern is observed, information from the other patterns can be treated as background noise. The proposed algorithm has two important features: the number of patterns that can be recorded is theoretically infinite and no meaningful information can be seen outside of the projection directions. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by performing numerical simulations of two laser crystals: an octagonal prism that contained four patterns in four projection directions and a dodecahedron that contained six patterns in six directions. We also fabricated and demonstrated an actual prototype laser crystal from a glass cube engraved by a laser beam. This algorithm has applications in various fields, including media art, digital signage, and encryption technology.

Background: Despite increasing knowledge of the etiology of neurodegenerative diseases, translation of these benefits into therapeutic advances for Alzheimer's Disease and related diseases (ADRD) has been slow. Drug repurposing is a promising strategy for identifying new uses for approved drugs beyond their initial indications. We developed a high-throughput drug screening platform aimed at identifying drugs capable of reducing proteotoxicity in vivo (Aß toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans) AND inhibiting microglial inflammation (TNF-alpha IL-6), both implicated in driving AD(figure attached with sample of results in C.

Background: Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and its evaluation have been important nowadays as its prevalence in older ages after 60 years. Early identification of dementia can help the world to take preventive measures as most of them are treatable. The cellular Automata (CA) framework is a powerful tool in analyzing brain dynamics and modeling the prognosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: When designing cutting-edge technology, particularly humanoid social robots, an essential consideration is understanding how individuals naturally engage in social interactions, shaping their relationships with technology and media.
Method: In pursuit of insights into the application of natural human behavior, specifically reciprocation, in human-robot interaction, an experiment involving 72 participants, involving facial electromyography, focusing on zygomatic and corrugator muscles, served as a tool to gauge users' emotional valence during interactions. The study assessed users' willingness to reciprocate a favor and measured compliance by tracking the number of raffle tickets purchased by users at the robot's request.

Platinum resistance is a common cause of chemotherapy failure in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), which function by competitively binding to miRNAs, can influence drug response. However, the regulatory mechanisms of ceRNAs underlying chemoresistance in LUAD remain largely unknown.

Filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) are manufactured in discrete sizes, with some models being limited in relation to accommodating the fit of some sex and race combinations. This study presents the development of a custom-fit respiratory protective device (RPD) which conforms to a user's facial features and flexes and moves with facial movements during use. Our design also integrates a pressure-sensing network, which continuously monitors fit and will alert the user when the fit is compromised.
