Epitaxial GeSn (epi-GeSn) shows the capability to form ferroelectric capacitors (FeCAPs) with a higher remanent polarization () than epi-Ge. With the interface engineering by a high- AlON, the reliability of the epi-GeSn-based FeCAPs is enhanced. Using the highly reliable FeCAP in series with a resistor as the synapse and axon, a simplified neuromorphic network based on a differentiator circuit is proposed. The network not only holds the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) function but is also capable of recognizing the spatiotemporal features, which sets it apart from other LIF neurons arising from the FeCAP-modulated leaky behavior of the potential on the axon by spiking-time-dependent plasticity. Furthermore, it is more energy efficient to operate, nondestructive to read, and simpler to fabricate by employing FeCAPs, making it eligible for emergent spiking neural network hardware accelerators.

The fate and degradation of organic matter in aquatic systems is a vital link in nutrient cycling and sedimentation processes influenced by exogenous and endogenous factors, such as inputs from upstream sources, sediment suspension, and the decomposition of aquatic organisms. The interplay of organic carbon, microbes, and environmental factors shapes the distribution and degradation of organic matter. Characterizing the source distribution of sedimentary organic matter in aquatic systems using novel proxies can unravel new insights into the mechanisms that control its dispersal, preservation and fate, which is essential to understanding the global carbon and nitrogen cycles.

Background: Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) is a significant form of end-organ damage caused by hypertension, with profound impacts on global health and quality of life. Temperature anomalies driven by climate change, particularly extremes of heat and cold, are increasingly recognized as major contributors to the cardiovascular disease burden, notably impacting HHD. However, the specific spatiotemporal trends and gender-based differences in the burden of non-optimal temperatures on older adults HHD patients remain insufficiently explored.

Background: Environmental exposures such as airborne pollutant exposures and socio-economic indicators are increasingly recognized as important to consider when conducting clinical research using electronic health record (EHR) data or other sources of clinical data such as survey data. While numerous public sources of geospatial and spatiotemporal data are available to support such research, the data are challenging to work with due to inconsistencies in file formats and spatiotemporal resolutions, computational challenges with large file sizes, and a lack of tools for patient- or subject-level data integration.

Results: We developed FHIR PIT (HL7® Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources Patient data Integration Tool) as an open-source, modular, data-integration software pipeline that consumes EHR data in FHIR® format and integrates the data at the level of the patient or subject with environmental exposures data of varying spatiotemporal resolutions and file formats.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that accounts for two-thirds of all dementia cases, and age is the strongest risk factor. In addition to the amyloid hypothesis, lipid dysregulation is now recognized as a core component of AD pathology. Gangliosides are a class of membrane lipids of the glycosphingolipid family and are enriched in the central nervous system (CNS).

Combining physics with computational models is increasingly recognized for enhancing the performance and energy efficiency in neural networks. Physical reservoir computing uses material dynamics of physical substrates for temporal data processing. Despite the ease of training, building an efficient reservoir remains challenging.
