Agile Free‐Form Signal Filtering and Routing with a Chaotic‐Cavity‐Backed Non‐Local Programmable Metasurface

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multi‐parameter‐tunable, all‐metallic, low‐loss, wave‐chaotic cavity enables a frequency‐insensitive (over a 7 GHz bandwidth) technique to synthesize desired transfer functions within smaller windows to high accuracy and with complete reconfigurability of shapes and center frequencies.

Functional Materials Targeted Regulation of Gasdermins: From Fundamentals to Functionalities and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Targeted regulation of pyroptosis to modulate the immune landscape is a novel design strategy for cancer immunotherapy and anti‐inflammatory treatment. Pyroptosis, as a double‐edged sword, underscores the importance of optimizing the design strategy of functional materials and appropriately activating pyroptosis for the effective treatment of diseases.

Stakeholder Involvement: A Success Factor for Achieving Better UX Integration [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Stakeholder involvement is one of the major success factors in integrating user experience (UX) practices into software development processes and organizations. It is also a necessity for agile software development. However, practitioners still have limited access to guidelines on successful involvement of UX stakeholders in agile settings.

Rapid and Ultra‐Sensitive SARS‐CoV‐2 Subgenomic RNA Detection Using Single‐Molecule With a Large Transistor‐SiMoT Bioelectronic Platform

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The single‐molecule with a large transistor‐SiMoT is proposed for the detection of the subgenomic RNA of SARS‐CoV‐2, achieving a diagnostic sensitivity of 98.0% and a specificity of 87.8%. The SiMoT technology, currently at TRL‐5, is suitable for point‐of‐care settings and delivers the result to the end user in 30 min.

Software Development with Scrum: A Bibliometric Analysis and Profile [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Introduction of the Scrum approach into software engineering has changed the way software is being developed. The Scrum approach emphasizes the active end-user involvement, embracing of change, and /iterative delivery of products. Our study showed that Scrum has different variants or is used in combination with different methods.
