A Workflow for Selecting, Profiling, and Optimizing Plant Extracts for Cosmetic Applications
ABSTRACT In response to the growing demand for innovative natural ingredients in cosmetics, this study proposes a structured approach to identifying bioactive plant species available in France. From 1614 species screened for regulatory acceptability and innovation potential, 18 were shortlisted for phytochemical profiling (high‐performance liquid ...

A Framework for Exploring and Evaluating Mechanics in Human Computation Games
Human computation games (HCGs) are a crowdsourcing approach to solving computationally-intractable tasks using games. In this paper, we describe the need for generalizable HCG design knowledge that accommodates the needs of both players and tasks.

TOWARD A CONJECTURAL HISTORY OF CONJECTURAL HISTORIES
ABSTRACT Most intellectual historians use the term “conjectural history” to designate a new form of speculative history created in eighteenth‐century Scotland by Adam Smith and a few others. These writers traced the development of human society and culture through conjectural reasoning based on philosophers’ views about human nature and travelers ...

ABSTRACT Background The Graded Chronic Pain Scale‐Revised (GCPS‐R) framework enables a standardised measure of disease severity and was incorporated into the national disease surveillance in Denmark in 2023. Novel dose–response associations between GCPS‐R‐systemised disease severity, general health, well‐being, and modifiable lifestyle behaviour were ...

Crypto-Verifying Protocol Implementations in ML [PDF]
We intend to narrow the gap between concrete implementations and verified models of cryptographic protocols. We consider protocols implemented in F#, a variant of ML, and verified using CryptoVerif, Blanchet's protocol verifier for computational ...
