Chemical characterization of Siraitia grosvenorii granules and their efficacy and mechanism of action on PM2.5-induced acute lung injury by Qi Shao, Yan Zhao, YuYu Shi, Fafeng Cheng, ZeHan Zhang, Ying Liu, ChangXiang Li, ZiLin Ren, Hua Bai, Haojie Cheng, Rolando Maddela, Junqiang Tian, Xueqian Wang

“…Results showed that PM2.5-induced lung damage was associated with oxidative stress, suppression of PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway, and increased levels of certain alarmins & cytokines in blood and bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF). However, SGG reversed these changes, particularly tissue damage and oxidative stress, suggesting that lung protection is mediated by the antioxidant effect, which mitigates the release of alarmin and inflammation.…”

Cryptographic Censorship by Netta Engelhardt, Åsmund Folkestad, Adam Levine, Evita Verheijden, Lisa Yang

“…We first prove “Cryptographic Censorship”: a theorem showing that when the time evolution operator of a holographic CFT is approximately pseudorandom (or Haar random) on some code subspace, then there must be an event horizon in the corresponding bulk dual. …”

Classical eikonal from Magnus expansion by Joon-Hwi Kim, Jung-Wook Kim, Sungsoo Kim, Sangmin Lee

“…We exploit a Hopf algebra structure behind the Magnus expansion to develop a fast algorithm which can compute the tree coefficients up to the 12th order (over half a million trees) in less than an hour. In a relativistic setting, our methods can be applied to the post-Minkowskian (PM) expansion for gravitational binaries in the worldline formalism. …”

Analysis of a D-Shaped Photonic Crystal Fiber Sensor with Multiple Conducting Layers by Amanda F. Romeiro, Markos P. Cardoso, Caua C. Miranda, Anderson O. Silva, João C. W. A. Costa, M. Thereza R. Giraldi, Jose L. Santos, Jose M. Baptista, Ariel Guerreiro

“…Abstract In our study, we conducted a thorough analysis of the spectral characteristics of a D-shaped surface plasmon resonance (SPR) photonic crystal fiber (PCF) refractive index sensor, incorporating a full width at half maximum (FWHM) analysis. We explored four distinct plasmonic materials-silver (Ag), gold (Au), Ga-doped zinc oxide (GZO), and an Ag-nanowire metamaterial-to understand their impact on sensor performance. …”
