Novel way to 'rev up' brown fat burns calories, limits obesity in mice
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a novel way brown fat—an energy-burning form of fat—can rev the body's metabolic engine, consuming cellular fuel and producing heat in a way that improves metabolic health. The study, in mice, reveals new avenues to exploit brown fat to treat metabolic diseases, such as insulin resistance and obesity.

OBsmith: Testing JavaScript Obfuscator using LLM-powered sketching
JavaScript obfuscators are widely deployed to protect intellectual property and resist reverse engineering, yet their correctness has been largely overlooked compared to performance and resilience. Existing evaluations typically measure resistance to deobfuscation, leaving the critical question of whether obfuscators preserve program semantics unanswered. Incorrect transformations can silently alter functionality, compromise reliability, and erode security-undermining the very purpose of obfusc…

Repeated-and-Offset QPSK for DFT-s-OFDM in Satellite Access
Motivated by the convergence of terrestrial cellular networks with satellite networks, we consider an adaptation of offset quadrature phase shift keying (OQPSK), used with single-carrier waveform in traditional satellite systems, to discrete Fourier transform spread (DFT-s-) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) waveform employed in the uplink of terrestrial systems. We introduce a new order-one constellation modulation, termed repeated-and-offset QPSK (RO-QPSK), derive its basic pro…
