We study the steady-state rate of entropy generation for multiple interacting particles. The description used is based on the partially asymmetric exclusion process in a lattice with periodic boundary conditions. Our methodology shows that in the steady-state, the rate of entropy generation is directly proportional to the bulk drift and the applied driving force. Since in many cases the driving force is unknown or hard to determine. We circumvent this by deriving a lower bound for the entropy, resulting in an extended thermodynamic uncertainty relation for the asymmetric simple exclusion process. We systematically compared this bound with the actual entropy generation. Thus, we identify the force regimes, and particles' density conditions where the entropy bound derived from this extended thermodynamic uncertainty relation is meaningful.

Physiological wound healing process can restore the functional and structural integrity of skin, but is often delayed due to external disturbance. The development of methods for promoting the repair process of skin wounds represents a highly desired and challenging goal. Here, a flexible, self-powered, and multifunctional triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) wound patch (e-patch) is presented for accelerating wound healing through the synergy of electrostimulation and photothermal effect.

Recently, ionic thermoelectric supercapacitors have gained attention because of their high open circuit voltages, even for ions that are redox inactive. As a source of open circuit voltage (electromotive force), an asymmetry in electric double layers developed by the adsorption of ions at the electrode surfaces kept at different temperatures has previously been proposed. As another source, the Eastman entropy of transfer, which is related to the Soret coefficient, has been considered.

AI techniques are increasingly being used to identify individuals both offline and online. However, quantifying their effectiveness at scale and, by extension, the risks they pose remains a significant challenge. Here, we propose a two-parameter Bayesian model for exact matching techniques and derive an analytical expression for correctness (κ), the fraction of people accurately identified in a population.

Purpose: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive Burkitt lymphoma (BL) affects children in sub-Saharan Africa, but diagnosis via tissue biopsy is challenging. We explored a liquid biopsy approach using targeted next-generation sequencing to detect the -immunoglobulin (-Ig) translocation and EBV DNA, assessing its potential for minimally invasive BL diagnosis.

Materials And Methods: The panel included targets for the characteristic -Ig translocation, mutations in intron 1 of , mutations in exon 2 of , and three EBV genes: EBV-encoded RNA (EBER)1, EBER2, and EBV nuclear antigen 2.

Memristors are commonly used to introduce various chaotic systems and can be used to enhance their chaotic characteristics. However, due to the strict construction conditions of Hamiltonian systems, there has been limited research on the development of memristive Hamiltonian conservative chaotic systems (MHCCSs). In this work, a method for constructing three-terminal memristors is proposed, and the three-terminal memristors are incorporated into the Hamiltonian system, resulting in the development of a class of n-D MHCCS.
