Depression may make learning to avoid unpleasant events harder
Depression alters how people pursue rewards, but, conversely, whether depressive symptoms influence how people learn to avoid nonrewarding, unpleasant events is less clear.

Wit-HW: Bug Localization in Hardware Design Code via Witness Test Case Generation
Debugging hardware designs requires significant manual effort during hardware development. After engineers identify a bug-triggering test case in simulation-based hardware verification, they usually spend considerable time analyzing the execution trace to localize the bug. Although numerous automated hardware debugging techniques exist, they are not applicable to large designs and deep bugs. A primary reason for their limitations is that these techniques only utilize the information of a single…

Magneto-Ionic Hardware Security Primitives: Embedding Data Protection at the Material Level
The Big Data revolution has heightened the demand for robust, energy-efficient security hardware capable of withstanding increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Conventional encryption schemes, reliant on complex algorithms, are resource-intensive and remain vulnerable. To fortify sensitive information, society needs innovative anti-hacking and anti-counterfeiting technologies that exploit new materials and designs. Here, we present a magneto-ionic strategy for hardware-level security based o…

HERITRACE in action: the ParaText project as a case study for semantic data management in Classical Philology
HERITRACE is a semantic data editor designed for cultural heritage institutions, addressing the gap between complex Semantic Web technologies and domain expert needs. ParaText Bibliographical Database, a specialized bibliographical database for ancient Greek exegesis, demonstrates HERITRACE's capabilities in Classical Philology. This paper examines how HERITRACE enables non-technical scholars to manage complex semantic data through SHACL-based form generation and validation, while ensuring comp…

Of course, I don't know 'hardware', as you can tell from my technical description, but I have a sample from another tuning peg gear, and the peg and gear for testing, I get to Home Hardware and they have loose bolts of small dimension. I quickly learn that #6 is too large, #4 is too small and they have no #5's where the thread matches.
But you know what works? Do you remember those little chrome bolts with the hex-wrench heads that used to hold expansion cards in the ibm-pc? Perfect match, only 5mm too long, easily compensated by buying a matching nut and my 53-years owned pawnshop 5-string, my first banjo, is back in action!

Hahaha never mind, I found a thing!

Cross-Layer Design of Vector-Symbolic Computing: Bridging Cognition and Brain-Inspired Hardware Acceleration
Vector Symbolic Architectures (VSAs) have been widely deployed in various cognitive applications due to their simple and efficient operations. The widespread adoption of VSAs has, in turn, spurred the development of numerous hardware solutions aimed at optimizing their performance. Despite these advancements, a comprehensive and unified discourse on the convergence of hardware and algorithms in the context of VSAs remains somewhat limited. The paper aims to bridge the gap between theoretical so…
