A Scalable Hybrid Encryption Framework Based on Unimodular Hill Cipher, Logistic Chaotic Key Generation, and AES-CBC for Secure Binary File Protection

This paper proposes a scalable hybrid encryption framework that combines a password-derived Logistic Map for chaotic key generation, a dynamic Unimodular Hill Cipher for constructing large invertible matrices, and AES-CBC to provide robust, format-independent security for universal binary files with near-ideal entropy and strong resistance to cryptanalytic attacks.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Dental students Regarding Geropsychology and Denture Acceptance in Elderly Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

This cross-sectional study of dental students in India reveals that while they possess moderate knowledge and favorable attitudes toward geropsychology in denture care, a significant gap exists between these attitudes and clinical practice due to a lack of formal training, highlighting an urgent need to integrate psychosocial education into prosthodontic curricula.

Generative AI–Driven Design and Experimental Validation of EGFPAN_EMBS, a Novel EGFR Inhibitor in Pancreatic Cancer

This study presents the discovery and experimental validation of EGFPAN_EMBS, a novel, potent, and selective EGFR inhibitor for pancreatic cancer, identified through an integrated generative AI framework that optimized a cannabigerol-inspired scaffold and confirmed its efficacy via comprehensive computational modeling and biological assays.

Increasing carbon dioxide levels progressively modulate defensive responding across behavioural, autonomic, and neural domains

This study demonstrates that increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in mice elicit distinct, non-linear patterns of brain-wide neuronal activation and physiological responses, differentiating anxiety-like states at 10% CO₂ from panic-like states at 20% CO₂ through unique behavioral, autonomic, and network-level neural signatures.

Enzymatic tailoring of potato proteins establishes multiscale structure–functionality relationships for plant-based meat analogue texture formation

This study demonstrates that enzymatic tailoring of potato proteins, through mechanisms such as crosslinking or controlled hydrolysis, enables precise multiscale control over gel network formation to rationally engineer the texture of plant-based meat analogues.
