Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Conventional cancer treatments have considerable side effects and may not always succeed in their intended response, taking a toll on patients and their families. CAR-T cell therapy is a...
Cyclic motion path reproduction with mechanical linkages using evolutionary algorithm
The aim of this project was to create a program that could after a given arbitrary enclosed curve produce necessary parameters for mechanical assembly that could reproduce this curve cyclically. For this reason a mechanical assembly was used consisting...
A Graph Isomorphism Kernel Based on k-Vertex Connectivity and its Application in Graph Neural Networks
- September 1, 2023
- Bulgaria, Mathematics
The most popular Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) rely on the message-passing paradigm, where the idea is to iteratively propagate the representation information of every node to its direct neighborhood. However, in their most natural version, their expressive power is...
Empirical prediction of chalcopyrite lattice parameters from chemical properties of their constituent elements
Chalcopyrites are a material class widely used in thin film solar cell manufacturing, with the most prominent industrially applied example being CIGS (CuInGaSe2). In order to maximize the effectiveness of these solar cells and minimize the cost, the search...
Operating Systems: The Key To A New World
IT is probably the fastest growing sector in the world. With new technologies being continuously developed, it seems we’ll just keep going forward. There is an issue, however. Since the birth of the internet we have been building up...
Dynamic Proactive Secret Sharing for Confidential Byzantine Fault-Tolerant Services using Multi-party Computation
New methods for blockchain technology and decentralized infrastructures emerged using Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) State Machine Replication (SMR), a reliable approach for creating trustworthy services. However, BFT SMR lacks secrecy protection, though it ensures integrity and availability even in the...
NutriBean+
Grain legumes have been of great interest to the European community as they show favourable nutritional and environmental traits. These crops, thus, are key to the Farm to Fork Strategy. The Sobrero and Marconi High Schools, with the assistance...
