A method to quantify the error probability at the Kirchhoff-law-Johnson-noise (KLJN) secure key exchange is introduced. The types of errors due to statistical inaccuracies in noise voltage measurements are classified and the error probability is calculated. The most interesting finding is that the error probability decays exponentially with the duration of the time window of single bit exchange. The results indicate that it is feasible to have so small error probabilities of the exchanged bits that error correction algorithms are not required. The results are demonstrated with practical considerations.

In this opinion piece, we examine the pivotal role that uncertainty quantification (UQ) plays in informing clinical decision-making processes. We explore challenges associated with healthcare data and the potential barriers to the widespread adoption of UQ methodologies. In doing so, we highlight how these techniques can improve the precision and reliability of medical evaluations.

Mathematical models of ion channel gating describe the changes in ion channel configurations due to the electrical activity of the cell membrane. Experimental findings suggest that ion channels behave randomly, and therefore stochastic models of ion channel gating should be more realistic than deterministic counterparts. Whole-cell voltage-clamp data allow us to calibrate the parameters of ion channel models.

Background: Despite the high prevalence of mental stress among physicians, reliable screening tools are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the capability of the Physician Well-Being Index (PWBI) in identifying distress and adverse consequences among Chinese physicians.
Methods: This cross-sectional online survey recruited 2803 physicians from Southern Mainland China snowball sampling between October and December 2020.
Modified Conditional Borrowing-By-Part Power Prior for Dynamic and Parameter-Specific Information Borrowing of the Gaussian Endpoint.

Borrowing external controls to augment the concurrent control arm is a popular topic in clinical trials. Bayesian dynamic borrowing methods adaptively discount external controls according to prior-data conflict. For the Gaussian endpoint, parameter-specific information borrowing enables differential discounting between the population mean and variance.

Neuromodulation with low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) holds significant promise for noninvasive treatment of neurological disorders, but its success relies heavily on accurately targeting specific brain regions. Computational model predictions can be used to optimize LIFUS, but uncertain acoustic tissue properties can affect prediction accuracy. The Monte Carlo method is often used to quantify the impact of uncertainties, but many iterations are generally needed for accurate estimates.
