Magnetic skyrmion: from fundamental physics to pioneering applications

Skyrmionic devices exhibit energy-efficient and high-integration data storage and computing capabilities due to their small size, topological protection, and low drive current requirements. So, to realize these devices, an extensive study, from fundamental physics to practical applications, becomes essential. In this article, we present an exhaustive review of the advancements in understanding the fundamental physics behind magnetic skyrmions and the novel data storage and computing technologies based on them. We begin with an in-depth discussion of fundamental concepts such as topological protection, stability, statics, and dynamics essential for understanding skyrmions, henceforth the foundation of skyrmion technologies. For the realization of CMOS-compatible skyrmion functional devices, the writing and reading of the skyrmions are crucial. We discuss the developments in different writing schemes such as STT, SOT, and VCMA. The reading of skyrmions is predominantly achieved via two mechanisms: the magnetoresistive tunnel junction TMR effect and topological resistivity. So, a thorough investigation into the skyrmion Hall effect, topological properties, and emergent fields is also provided, concluding the discussion on skyrmion reading developments. Based on the writing and reading schemes, we discuss the applications of the skyrmions in conventional logic, unconventional logic, memory applications, and neuromorphic computing, including a model of a skyrmion-based SNN architecture achieving over 90% accuracy on MNIST and fashion-MNIST datasets. Furthermore, we outline the potential of skyrmion-hosting Majorana zero modes in emerging topological quantum computation and helicity-dependent skyrmion qubits.

Room-Temperature Organic Spintronic Devices with Wide Range Magnetocurrent Tuning and Multifunctionality via Electro-Optical Compensation Strategy.

In spintronics, devices exhibiting large, widely tunable magnetocurrent (MC) values at room temperature are particularly appealing due to their potential in advanced sensing, data storage, and multifunctional technologies. Organic semiconductors (OSCs), with their rich and unique spin-dependent and (opto-)electronic properties, hold significant promise for realizing such devices. However, current organic devices are constrained by limited design strategies, yielding MC values typically confined to tens of percent, thereby restricting their potential for multifunctional applications. Here, this study introduces an electro-optical compensation strategy to modulate MC values, which synergistically integrates and manages the interplays among carrier transport, spin-dependent reactions, and photogenerated carrier dynamics in OSCs-based devices. This approach achieves ultrahigh room-temperature MC values of +13200% and -10600% in the designed devices, with continuous and precise tunability over this range-marking a breakthrough in organic spintronic devices. Building on this achievement, by integrating multiple controllable parameters-light, bias, magnetic field, and mechanical flexibility-into a single device, a flexible, room-temperature, multifunctional device is activated, functioning as the high-sensitivity magnetic field sensor, composite field sensor, magnetic current inverter, and magnetically-controlled artificial synaptic, etc. These findings open an avenue for designing high-performance, multifunctional devices with broad implications for future spintronic-related technologies.

Multi-modal dataset creation for federated learning with DICOM-structured reports.

Purpose Federated training is often challenging on heterogeneous datasets due to divergent data storage options, inconsistent naming schemes, varied annotation procedures, and disparities in label quality. This is particularly evident in the emerging multi-modal learning paradigms, where dataset harmonization including a uniform data representation and filtering options are of paramount importance.Methods DICOM-structured reports enable the standardized linkage of arbitrary information beyond the imaging domain and can be used within Python deep learning pipelines with highdicom. Building on this, we developed an open platform for data integration with interactive filtering capabilities, thereby simplifying the process of creation of patient cohorts over several sites with consistent multi-modal data.Results In this study, we extend our prior work by showing its applicability to more and divergent data types, as well as streamlining datasets for federated training within an established consortium of eight university hospitals in Germany. We prove its concurrent filtering ability by creating harmonized multi-modal datasets across all locations for predicting the outcome after minimally invasive heart valve replacement. The data include imaging and waveform data (i.e., computed tomography images, electrocardiography scans) as well as annotations (i.e., calcification segmentations, and pointsets), and metadata (i.e., prostheses and pacemaker dependency).Conclusion Structured reports bridge the traditional gap between imaging systems and information systems. Utilizing the inherent DICOM reference system arbitrary data types can be queried concurrently to create meaningful cohorts for multi-centric data analysis. The graphical interface as well as example structured report templates are available at https://github.com/Cardio-AI/fl-multi-modal-dataset-creation .

Database models for storing big data

The issues related to the formation of large data collections are not fully resolved. The amount of information in the world is constantly increasing, which has resulted in the problem of its storage. The term "big data" created to define this data includes the following characteristics such as quantity, processing speed, variety, reliability, variability and value. This type of information includes environmental characteristics; the data determine the distribution of relevant indicators on the Earth and make it possible to make a forecast for the future regarding their changes in time and space, which is important for economic management and sustainable development of humanity. However, there is not enough information on the effective organisation of the storage and processing of such data, and further research is needed. Thus, the object of the study is the data obtained at environmental monitoring stations. The subject of the study is the storage of data obtained as a result of environmental monitoring. The purpose of the study is to develop criteria for evaluating and comparing different types of data repositories, taking into account specific requirements for their storage; to determine the types of information to be stored in the database; to create an ER-diagram of a particular database. The received data are classified according to the state of the environment, its location and pollution. As the data is obtained from an extended system of observations, it passes in stages from the place of its registration through the city, regional, state and global network to the place of its storage. Accordingly, the following criteria for the information received must be provided such as the ability to store data of various types, quick access and processing, and scalability. There are two main models of data bases such as relational and non-relational, each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, relational (SQL) data storage systems have rigid schemes that ensure the reliability of information storage, but are inefficient for processing a large number of queries and have no significant scalability. Non-relational (NoSQL) systems store data in an unstructured type, are easily scalable, and provide high speed of query processing. Conclusions. The research has shown that non-relational databases are more appropriate for storing data obtained from environmental monitoring stations. A scheme for processing the data was created. The groups of parameters that will be stored in the database are outlined. The main criteria for data storage were developed, allowing for more efficient data organisation. An ER diagram for the database was implemented.

In today's world, music plays an important role in the lives of millions of people, and music streaming platforms such as Spotify have become an integral part of modern culture. The popularity of music tracks is of great importance to the music industry, affecting artists' incomes and trends in the music world. Predicting the popularity of music tracks is an impor-tant task that can help artists, producers, and platforms better understand listener preferences and optimize their strategies. As part of this work, a data storage of music tracks on the Spotify platform has been de-veloped, based on a physical model of the database, the functionality of which is implemented using SQL scripts. Working with the database is presented through the implementation of software for the implementation of ETL processes and intelligent analysis of selected data. The software allows you to classify tracks by the level of popularity (0 - not at all popular, 1 - medium popularity, 2 - hit) using numerical track metrics such as acousticness, tempo, va-lence, liveness, etc. The role of the data storage management system is SQLite, the program-ming language for implementing the application is Python. Different machine learning models are used to predict track popularity, including KNeighbors, Decision Tree, Random Forest, and Extreme Gradient Boosting. Data mining software provides efficient track classification and graphical display, allowing users to easily interpret forecasting results. Libraries used in the work: pandas, numpy, seaborn, matplotlib, tabulate, xgboost, scipy, sqlite3. The overall analysis showed that the XGBoost and Random Forest models are the most effective for predicting the popularity of music tracks. They demonstrate high accuracy and resistance to changes in the set of attributes, which makes them suitable for use in real condi-tions.

Blockchain Non-Fungible Token for Effective Drug Traceability System with Optimal Deep Learning on Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management

In recent times, the number of fake drugs has increased dramatically, which has resulted in millions of victims severely affected by poisoning and treatment failures, resulting in a need for Drug Supply Chain (DSC) traceability. The DSC is generally reluctant to share traceability data and includes several parties having heterogeneous interests. Moreover, existing provenance and traceability systems for DSCs need more trust, data sharing transparency, and separated data storage. By realizing decentralized, trustless systems, a decentralized Blockchain (BC)-based solution is proposed to tackle these constraints. BC is an immutable, decentralized, shared network that allows management directly through a peer-to-peer (P2P) network without the necessity of a central authority to check transactions. This study proposes a new Blockchain Non-Fungible Token-based Drug Traceability with Enhanced Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management (BNFTDT-EPSCM) model. The proposed BNFTDT-EPSCM model presents transparent and more secure reporting of changes in the operating condition of transported pharmaceutical products to prevent drug recalls. The Ethereum BC enables transactions and computational services using the cryptocurrency Ether (ETH). Simultaneously, an enhanced Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus (RB-BFT) leverages a reputation system to address reliability issues of primary nodes and reduce communication complexity inherent in the Practical Byzantine algorithm (PBFT). The BNFTDT-EPSCM model presents a decentralized solution using Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to improve the traceability and tracking capabilities of the standard serialization process. In addition, the BNFTDT-EPSCM model employs a Deep Belief Network (DBN) approach to perform the inbound logistics task prediction process. Finally, the Tasmanian Devil Optimization (TDO) method is utilized to enhance the hyperparameter tuning of the DBN approach. A detailed set of simulations was executed to examine the effectiveness of the BNFTDT-EPSCM approach, demonstrating a higher throughput at the highest user count of 6000 and achieving 551.22 TPS, significantly outperforming existing models.

AbstractMiniaturized color pixels are crucial for the infrastructure of modern printing and display. In this study, plasmonic colors are generated by via polarization excitations within nanostructures composed of naturally abundant aluminum. We utilized the excitation and detection polarizations of light to achieve vibrant plasmonic colors and dramatically expand the range of the available colors by hybridize plasmonic resonances. Plasmonic full‐color pixels and real‐life artwork are produced using genetic algorithms based on a polarization‐dependent color space. Furthermore, dynamically tuned plasmonic color pixels are demonstrated by triggering electroresponsive liquid crystals. The plasmonic color technologies are expected to facilitate color applications ranging from surface decoration, digital displays, and optical security devices to durable optical data storage.

Implementation of Secure and Verifiable Access Control Procedures using the NTRU Cryptosystem to Store Big Data in the Cloud Environment

Background: Due to their complexity and size, deploying ciphertexts for clouds is considered the most useful approach to accessing large data stores. Method: However, access to a user's access legitimacy and improving a decrypted text on the cloud depending on an improved access policy (AP) specified by the data owner are the key challenges for making large data storage realistic and effective in clouds. The traditional ways either totally remove the problem of AP development or offer renewal to arbiter power, but in real-time, enhancing the AP is essential to maximising security and handling agility. Results: In this paper, a safe and verifiable access control program characterised by the NTRU cryptographic system for large storage of data in the clouds is proposed. Primarily, an improved NTRU decryption protocol to deal with the decryption failures of the prime NTRU is established, and in addition, the program is analysed for its security strength and computational performance. When a new AP is specified by the data owner, the cloud server allows the program to improve ciphertext and allows the owner to verify the upgrade to oppose the cloud's fraudulent behaviour. Conclusion: It enables (i) checking the user's legitimacy to access the data owner and qualified users, and (ii) allowing the user to verify the data provided by other users for the recovery of the right user. Strong analysis can prevent and block delinquency from various attacks, namely the collusion attack that could potentially target fraud users.

Challenges and Prospects of Deploying AI and Machine Learning for Clinical Diagnosis in African Healthcare

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and robotics into clinical diagnosis has become prevalent. For example, ML-driven image recognition has demonstrated remarkable efficacy, prompting clinicians to rely increasingly on these technologies for “accurate” medical diagnoses and prognoses of diseases. Although these advancements have exhibited their relevance and effectiveness in medically advanced regions of the Global North and selected areas in the Global South, the question arises as to their viability within the healthcare landscape of Africa, given contextual variations. In this paper, I delve into the potential efficiency of deploying these technologies within African healthcare, aiming to address these contextual concerns. Employing a phenomenological methodology, I demonstrate that the deployment of these technologies might inadvertently introduce biases anddiscrimination against Africans. This stems from the inherent nature of the data used to develop these technologies, primarily sourced from healthcare experiences in designing nations, coupled with the pervasive algorithmic biases prevalent in contemporary ML systems. I call for a paradigm shift in AI and ML development. I propose that African nations should proactively engage in the design of healthcare AI and ML technologies that are attuned to distinct African conditions, prevalent medical conditions, and prognostic methodologies. Key prerequisites include the establishment of robust infrastructure for efficient data collection and storage of electronic healthcare records and capturing the intricacies of day-to-day healthcare encounters across the African continent.

Data storage and encryption are achieved through the hybridization of fluorescent DNA strands for data presentation and interference with the DNA SAM at the interface between the solid phase and droplets. Interference DNA strands can be removed by DNA strand displacement for decryption. The encryption depth of this system is determined by the design of the DNA sequences and the combination of multiple DNA strands, showcasing its outstanding encryption ability. Meanwhile, high-throughput inkjet printing accelerates the data writing process, further enhancing the system efficiency.

A series of D-π-A compounds, with fluorene and its heteroanalogs (carbazole, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene) as the donor units and phenanthroimidazole as the acceptor, were designed and synthesized for non-volatile memory device applications. The effect of single-atom substitution on memory behavior was examined through optical, electrochemical, and computational studies. The photophysical studies confirm a significant intramolecular charge transfer from the donor to the acceptor unit, and the electrochemical analysis shows an irreversible anodic peak (0.99-1.21 V) with an optimal band gap ranging from 2.80 to 2.88 eV. All the compounds exhibited non-volatile binary WORM memory behaviour with an ON/OFF current ratio of 105 and 103. The devices also showed excellent stability over 100 cycles and maintained a retention time of 4000 s. Notably, the compound with carbazole substitution displayed a lower threshold voltage and a higher ON/OFF current ratio of 105. Density functional theory calculations confirmed that the combined effects of charge transfer and charge trapping mechanisms are crucial to the resistive switching mechanisms observed. This work highlights the potential of single atom substitution in D-π-A systems, providing valuable insights for designing high-performance data storage devices.
