Graphene is the first 2D atomic crystal, and its isolation heralded a new era in materials science with the emergence of several other atomically thin materials displaying multifunctional properties. The safety assessment of new materials is often something of an afterthought, but in the case of graphene, the initial isolation and characterization of the material was soon followed by the assessment of its potential impact on living systems. The Graphene Flagship project addressed the health and environmental aspects of graphene and other 2D materials, providing an instructive lesson in interdisciplinarity - from materials science to biology.

Introduction: Chest computed tomography (CT) interpretation is a key competency for pulmonary fellows, with many resources intended for radiologists but very few for this specific group. We endeavored to create a curriculum to teach chest CT interpretation to first-year pulmonary fellows.
Methods: We assembled a team of two pulmonologists, one radiologist, and a fellow with computer drafting software experience.

This dataset is generated from real-time simulations conducted in MATLAB/Simscape, focusing on the impact of smart noise signals on battery energy storage systems (BESS). Using Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) agent known as Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), noise signals in the form of subtle millivolt and milliampere variations are strategically created to represent realistic cases of False Data Injection Attacks (FDIA). These signals are designed to disrupt the State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) estimation blocks within Unscented Kalman Filters (UKF).

Managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with a recent history of gastrointestinal bleeding presents a unique and challenging clinical dilemma, necessitating a careful balance between minimizing ischemic risk and avoiding potentially life-threatening rebleeding. Standard treatment for ACS typically involves dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to prevent recurrent thrombotic events. However, in patients with recent gastrointestinal hemorrhage or significant anemia, these therapies may substantially increase the risk of life-threatening bleeding, complicating the decision-making process and often leading to conservative management strategies.
