Abstract
Cisplatin resistance coupled with adverse effects presents substantial hurdles in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Both cold atmospheric plasma and plasma-activated liquid (PAL) hold the ability to induce DNA damage, which is a primary target of cisplatin. In this study, we investigate the potential of PAL in augmenting cisplatin sensitivity or diminishing the necessary drug dosage by impairing the DNA of cisplatin-resistant cancer cells. We found that plasma irradiated medium exceeding 40 s could decrease the viability, induce DNA damage, trigger cell cycle arrest, and augment apoptosis and autophagy in two types of cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells (A2780/DDP and SKOV3/DDP) after a 24 h incubation period. Notably, pre-treatment with 40 s plasma-activated medium (PAM) for 2 h significantly enhanced the anti-cancer effect of cisplatin administered at lower doses on these cell types. RNA-seq, quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis revealed that PAM treatment could downregulate the expression of several pivotal proteins involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) and homologous recombination repair (HRR). The mouse xenograft tumor model demonstrated that plasma-activated saline and cisplatin synergistically inhibited tumor growth and significantly suppressed the expression of proteins related to HRR and NER pathways. We identified plasma-derived peroxide generation in PAM as crucial in these processes. These results pave the way for considering PAM as an adjuvant treatment for cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer and other abdominal cancers. Additionally, the findings indicate the feasibility of reducing cisplatin dosage to alleviate side effects through sensitization.
Causality enhanced deep learning framework for quality characteristic prediction via long sequence multivariate time-series data

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Prediction of product quality characteristics plays an important role in the timely identification of quality conditions and in triggering an alarm for abnormal products. In modern manufacturing, the large number of parameters collected by sensors and complex interactions between operational parameters have led to complexity and difficulty in quality monitoring during the production process. To minimize noise interference, reduce modeling complexity, and improve prediction accuracy and interpretability, this study proposes a time-series causal discovery and quality prediction framework for multistage manufacturing processes. Initially, a hierarchical Peter–Clark momentary conditional independence algorithm with multiple time-lag detection accuracy algorithm was proposed. It is designed to identify optimal time lags, establish causal relationships between process parameters and quality characteristics, and efficiently extract the root process parameters. Furthermore, a temporal pattern attention–long short-term memory model is employed to predict the quality characteristics for multivariate time series data, and is aided by the obtained causal structure. Finally, data obtained through a simulation and a case study involving a multistage continuous production chemical process are utilized to verify the performance and superiority of the proposed method.

Abstract
Weak signal amplification is extremely important in biological systems (such as brain, nerve cells, gene regulatory networks), which relates to signal coding and processing. This study incorporates intra-layer coupling within a simple Y-shaped unidirectional chain as a means of exploring the effect of small changes in the network structure on the propagation of weak signals, where the nodes in the chain are treated as bistable oscillators. It is found that when the intra-layer coupling is below a critical threshold and the inter-layer coupling is at a medium range, the transmission of signals in the initial layer is significantly enhanced. This study also reveals the amplification mechanism of weak signals in the Y-shaped unidirectional chain. The successful amplification of weak signals in the Y-shaped unidirectional chain is related to the synchronization state of the feed-forward oscillators and the amplitude of oscillators. The signal amplification is also determined by the frequency of the input signals. Furthermore, this paper has contrasted numerical simulations with analytical calculations in this simplified topology. This research contributes to understanding the relationship between network structure and weak signal transmission.
Performance-based reliability modelling of displacement control system considering the internal degradation and external impacts

Published: January 2025

Abstract
It is still a challenge to evaluate the reliability of displacement control systems (DCS), which are widely used in extreme scenarios with multi-component degradation, external shock impacts, measurement noise and disturbances, and have closed-loop self-compensating capability. This paper proposes a performance-based reliability model for DCS, which considers the challenges above to ensure the safe application of DCS within a certain fault-tolerant range. Specifically, the coupled relationship between degradation and shock is characterized by the energy-related additional degradation amount, and the effects of sensor measurement error and external environmental disturbance on the system performance are taken into consideration. A nonlinear hybrid model of DCS is established by integrating the cumulative degradation amount as an extended state variable; then, based on the control performance, a reliability index is defined and a general performance-based reliability evaluation method is proposed. The method is validated through a case study on a hydraulic servo control system, demonstrating its ability to accurately describe the performance changes of DCS under various degradation interactions, to provide compensation capability analysis and to more accurate reliability evaluation.

Abstract
Large volumes of light sources and their characteristics control devices are challenges to out-of-laboratory applications of quantum precision measurement devices, such as spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) inertial and extremely weak magnetic field measurement devices. High-Q whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators have excellent optical field confinement capability, extremely narrow linewidth, and small mode volume, which can easily realize compact low noise and high-frequency stability light sources, having a great potential to realize more compact quantum precision measurement devices. This will broaden the use of quantum precision measurement devices in areas such as transportable SERF gyroscopes, wearable magnetometers, etc. In this review, the fundamentals and characteristics of WGM optical cavities are firstly introduced, as well as its fabrication techniques and built-up materials. Then, the laser stabilizing applications of WGM optical cavities including wavelength tuning, self-injection locking, and thermal stabilization are discussed. Finally, the application prospects of quantum precision measurement are discussed.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Over the past few decades, significant efforts have been dedicated to advancing technologies for the removal of micropollutants from water. Achieving complete pure water with a single treatment process is challenging and nearly impossible. One promising approach among various alternatives is adopting hybrid technology, which is considered as a win–win technology. It utilizes the advantages of each technique, resulting in the enhancement of wastewater treatment. This pioneering idea is designed to significantly enhance water quality, addressing real-world implementation hurdles, and offer a promising solution to the worldwide issue of water scarcity. This review assesses the merits and drawbacks of the hybrid photocatalytic membrane technology employed in wastewater treatment. Notably, this hybrid process not only improves the membrane filtration capacity and permeates water quality but also enhances the antifouling performance of the membrane. However, it is crucial to acknowledge potential drawbacks, such as membrane structure degradation and photocatalytic activity loss in nanoparticles during the operation period. While improvements in wastewater treatment efficiency are evident, there remains ample room for further enhancements. The review summarizes the future directions and challenges of implementing such an integrated system.
Ion confinement and temperature in minimum-B electron cyclotron resonance ion source plasmas

Published: January 2025

Abstract
We review the current understanding of high charge state ion confinement and ion temperature in Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Sources (ECRIS). Experiments probing the ion confinement time of various charge states strongly favour a confinement scheme where the high charge state ions are trapped in a local dip of the ambipolar plasma potential. The electrostatic confinement permits ion confinement times of 10 ms order-of-magnitude. The dwelling time of the ions, undergoing stepwise ionisation from neutrals to high charge states, is long enough for the energy transfer from the plasma electrons to heat the ions to 10–15 eV while the energy exchange in ion–ion collisions results in all charge states having essentially the same temperature. We then describe a technique, using the ion temperatures obtained through optical emission spectroscopy and afterglow transient beam currents, to estimate the magnitude of the potential dip. In our example, measured with a 14 GHz ECRIS the value of the potential dip is 1.3–1.9 V. We demonstrate that the temporal characteristics of the afterglow transient occurring in 1 ms scale can be estimated by assuming that the afterglow peak of high charge state ion currents is caused by a change of the ion confinement scheme from electrostatic trapping to random walk diffusion resulting in order-of-magnitude reduction of the ion confinement time.
Perturbative framework for engineering arbitrary Floquet Hamiltonian
Authors: Xu Yingdan , Guo Lingzhen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We develop a systematic perturbative framework to engineer an arbitrary target Hamiltonian in the Floquet phase space of a periodically driven oscillator based on Floquet–Magnus expansion. The high-order errors in the engineered Floquet Hamiltonian are mitigated by adding high-order driving potentials perturbatively. We introduce a transformation method that allows us to obtain an analytical expression of the leading-order correction drive for engineering a target Hamiltonian with discrete rotational and chiral symmetries in phase space. We also provide a numerically efficient procedure to calculate high-order correction drives and apply it to engineer the target Hamiltonian with degenerate eigenstates of multi-component cat states that are important for fault-tolerant hardware-efficiency bosonic quantum computation.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
It is critical to minimize vibration interference in sensitive engineering systems. A vibration isolator improves system performance and durability by reducing the transmission of vibrations between objects. However, achieving effective isolation at low frequencies with traditional linear isolators requires large static deflection, limiting their performance. Nonlinear isolators offer a solution by providing low dynamic stiffness while maintaining a high load-bearing capacity, achieving quasi-zero stiffness (QZS) characteristics. This study presents a compliant QZS (CQZS) metamaterial structure for low-frequency vibration isolation. The CQZS metastructure was designed, 3D printed, and subjected to static and dynamic analysis. Harmonic balance methods were applied to model the system, and experiments on displacement and force transmissibility validated the design’s effectiveness. The results showed that the CQZS structure achieves a QZS region of 10 mm and effective isolation at 4.5 Hz. The design is simpler, lighter and more manufacturable than conventional QZS structures.
Thermal characterization, modeling and parametric model order reduction (PMOR) of piezoelectric transducers
Authors: Ratke Xenia Y , Sattel Thomas 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The consideration of the thermals of piezoelectric transducers has gained relevance due to the increasing demands on the performance of actuators as well as the special applications such as high-power, high-precision or high-temperature applications. In the state of the art, many works deal with the representation of the temperature-dependence of piezoelectric performance and the development of suitable systems that are optimized in terms of self-heating. The prerequisite for this, is to characterize the actuators thermally and to have thermal models of piezoelectric actuators, that represent the temperature of the actuator. In this paper a workflow is presented for the thermal characterization and modeling of piezoelectric transducers in a fast and non-destructive manner. Aim of this work is to generate Finite-Element (FE) Models and Reduced Order Models (ROM) of the thermal behavior of piezoelectric transducers for many different sizes of actuators. For this purpose an experimental setup and characterization workflow are developed. The advantage of the workflow lies in the speed of characterization through direct comparison of measurement results with a Metamodel and automated model order reduction. Parametric model order reduction is also investigated in this context for faster model building and compared to the results of FE and ROM. Model order reduction offers the advantage that the resulting models are low in computing effort, can be used without FE software and can directly be included in for example control or system models. Finally by direct comparison with a simple circuit model as in the state of the art the advantages of FE modeling can be shown. The workflow can be used for many different test specimen that vary in size and shape. The method is exemplarily presented using a Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) multilayer actuator.
Annealing temperatures effects on structural and optical properties of CdO thin films
Authors: Aydin Handan , Odak Mehmet 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this study, the structural and optical properties of CdO thin films subjected to heat treatment at different temperatures were investigated. CdO films were deposited on glass substrates by thermal evaporation. X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements were taken to investigate the crystal structure and surface morphology of the prepared films UV–vis spectrometer was utilized to measure the optical properties. As a result of XRD measurements, it was observed that the CdO thin film without and with heat treatment has a cubic crystal structure. The increase in the sharpness of x-ray peaks in CdO thin films with heat treatment means an increase in crystallization, and the calculated crystal sizes showed that the crystal size generally tends to increase with a rise in the applied annealing temperature. As can be seen from the SEM images, it was observed that the small grains on the surface were replaced by large grains as a result of the merger of small grains with each other with rising annealing temperature. The optical band gap Eg, which changes with heat treatment, was calculated to be between 2.45 and 2.27 eV. It was concluded that heat treatment improves the conductivity of CdO thin films by reducing the Eg value.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized Y2Zr2O7 (YZO): Bi3+/Eu3+ microcrystals through high-temperature solid-phase method. When the microcrystals were excited upon 263 nm and 329 nm, a tunable emission color variation from red to white is observed. The Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) of YZO: 6% mol Bi3+, 5% mol Eu3+ excited upon 329 nm is 4194 K, exhibited warm white light. Furthermore, the emission intensity of Eu3+ ion is remarkably improved by the incorporation of Bi3+ ion, due to the energy transfer from Bi3+ ion to Eu3+ ion. Their efficiency (η
T) in YZO: 6% mol Bi3+, 5% mol Eu3+ reaches 49.17%. The corresponding absolute quantum efficiency (λ
ex = 329 nm) of YZO: 6% mol Bi3+, 5% mol Eu3+ is 56.21%. These results indicate that YZO: Bi3+/Eu3+ microcrystals are highly potential to enhance the industrial growth of photonics field, particularly the application of anti-counterfeiting and white light-emitting diodes.
DESI2024: Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, presentation of Year 1 results
Authors: Dawson Kyle , Palanque-Delabrouille Nathalie 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The series of papers included in this special issue represent the first cosmological measurements from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). These papers present the validation of the DESI clustering catalogs, the methodology for the cosmology measurements, and the full cosmology implications. These measurements were derived from a catalog of approximately 6.4 million extragalactic sources in a redshift range of 0.1 < z < 4.2. Owing to advances in fiber positioner technology and to a larger telescope, this sample was acquired in only one year of observation, yet is more than double the size of the galaxy and quasar samples from the first four phases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) that spanned 20 years. With these new galaxy and quasar catalogs, the DESI collaboration completed percent-level constraints on the cosmic expansion history and the growth of structure. In turn, these new measurements provided a new platform from which to test the equation of state of dark energy, the summed mass of the three neutrino mass eigenstates, global curvature, and General Relativity. By surpassing the precision of the previous generation spectroscopic survey, the results in this special issue mark the transition in the field of cosmology to Stage-IV dark energy science.

Abstract
A critical requirement of spectroscopic large scale structure analyses is correcting for selection of which galaxies to observe from an isotropic target list. This selection is often limited by the hardware used to perform the survey which will impose angular constraints of simultaneously observable targets, requiring multiple passes to observe all of them. In SDSS this manifested solely as the collision of physical fibers and plugs placed in plates. In DESI, there is the additional constraint of the robotic positioner which controls each fiber being limited to a finite patrol radius. A number of approximate methods have previously been proposed to correct the galaxy clustering statistics for these effects, but these generally fail on small scales. To accurately correct the clustering we need to upweight pairs of galaxies based on the inverse probability that those pairs would be observed (Bianchi & Percival 2017). This paper details an implementation of that method to correct the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey for incompleteness. To calculate the required probabilities, we need a set of alternate realizations of DESI where we vary the relative priority of otherwise identical targets. These realizations take the form of alternate Merged Target Ledgers (AMTL), the files that link DESI observations and targets. We present the method used to generate these alternate realizations and how they are tracked forward in time using the real observational record and hardware status, propagating the survey as though the alternate orderings had been adopted. We detail the first applications of this method to the DESI One-Percent Survey (SV3) and the DESI year 1 data. We include evaluations of the pipeline outputs, estimation of survey completeness from this and other methods, and validation of the method using mock galaxy catalogs.
