Surface engineering to manipulate solar energy for thermal management by Fei, Jipeng

“…The use of sustainable energy sources has risen significantly in recent years due to the tremendous pollution and waste associated with traditional fossil fuels, and the urgent needs of decarbonization. Specifically, solar energy is one of the most important infinite energy resources since it is constantly available to earth in abundance. …”

Two-Dimensional MXene as a Promising Adsorbent for Trihalomethanes Removal: A Density-Functional Theory Study by Gomaa, Islam, Hosny, Nasser Mohammed, Elhaes, Hanan, Ezzat, Hend A., Elmahgary, Maryam G., Ibrahim, Medhat A.

“…Our investigation involves a detailed analysis of the adsorption energies of THs on different MXene types, with the MXene-Cl layer emerging as the most compatible variant. This specific MXene-Cl layer exhibits remarkable properties, including a total dipole moment (TDM) of 12.443 Debye and a bandgap of 0.570 eV, achieved through meticulous geometry optimization and computational techniques. …”

Generation, Detection, and Evaluation of Role-play based Jailbreak attacks in Large Language Models by Johnson, Zachary D.

“…In this work, we aim to better understand the landscape of role-play based jailbreak attacks so that we can precisely detect these attack attempts in the wild before they yield a harmful output from a LLM. Specifically, we focus on three main categories: generating synthetic examples of role-play based jailbreak attack prompts, testing these role-play prompts on a target LLM in order to evaluate whether they successfully jailbreak the LLM and labeling our prompts accordingly, and training a robust detection model that can precisely predict whether a role-play prompt will successfully yield a jailbreak attack in a LLM before being fed any malicious requests. …”

Regulation of the hif-1-dependent hypoxic stress response by C. elegans by Diehl, Calista Sorine

“…Other aspects of the egl-9(lf) phenotype, such as resistance to oxidative stress and changes in locomotion, were not affected by NMD-pathway mutations, indicating that NMD modulates specific aspects of the hypoxia response. Secondly, we found that loss of the neprilysin metallopeptidase, nep-2, suppressed the egl-9 Egl phenotype through the degradation of multiple neuropeptides including the known NEP-2 target SNET-1. …”

Beyond Color: Lattice Gauge Theory for Strongly-Coupled Physics by Oare, Patrick R.

Exposure to Pb-halide perovskite nanoparticles can deliver bioavailable Pb but does not alter endogenous gut microbiota in zebrafish by Patsiou, Danae, del Rio-Cubilledo, Cristina, Catarino, Ana Isabel, Summers, Stephen, Afiq Mohd Fahmi, Boyle, David, Fernandes, Teresa F., Henry, Theodore B.

“…The lack of differences in mortality and gene expression between perovskite NPs and soluble Pb after aqueous exposure suggest that toxicity from perovskite NPs can be attributed to bioavailable Pb rather than nano-specific effects. Induction of mt2 and reduction of ala-d expression levels in liver tissues showed Pb bioavailability after 2-d and 4-d dietary exposure to perovskite-spiked feeds. …”
