Reliability Assessment of Optical Physical Unclonable Functions Based on the Spatial Distribution of Catastrophic Failure Sites in MIM Structures by Marc Porti, Alvaro Solis, Alex Calatayud, Montserrat Nafria, Enrique Miranda

“…When the energy released by the sudden occurrence of this kind of shorts is high enough, the events are clearly detected in the top area of the structure as a random spatial point pattern. As it was demonstrated in previous works, the distribution of failure sites obtained this way can be used to generate optically detectable cryptographic keys in the context of Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs). …”

Structural Investigation and Energy Transfer of Eu³⁺/Mn⁴⁺ Co-Doped Mg₃Ga₂SnO₈ Phosphors for Multifunctional Applications by Zaifa Yang

“…The energy transfer process between Eu³⁺ and Mn⁴⁺ was systematically investigated by emission spectra and decay curves of Mg₃Ga₂SnO₈:0.12Eu³⁺,yMn⁴⁺ (0.002 ≤ y ≤ 0.012) phosphors and the maximum value of transfer efficiency can reach 71.2%. Due to the weak thermal quenching effect of Eu³⁺, its emission provides a stable reference for the rapid thermal quenching of the Mn⁴⁺ emission peak, thereby achieving good temperature measurement performance. …”

Using PLUS-InVEST-OPGD model to explore spatiotemporal variation of ecosystem carbon storage and its drivers in Jinsha river basin, China by Lichang Huang, Xue Ding, Jinliang Wang, Shuangyun Peng

“…Still, the area of forest and grassland decreased by a total of 2,757.84 km2 in the past 30 years, and the expansion of construction land amounted to 2,321.91 km2; (2) the spatial and temporal evolution of carbon storage shows the heterogeneous characteristics of “overall decreasing and local optimization”, in which the carbon loss from forest to grassland conversion is as high as 30% of the total carbon loss, and the expansion of construction land leads to irreversible decay of carbon sinks of about 50%; (3) a multi-scenario simulation shows that the EP scenario minimizes the loss of carbon storage (−2.46 × 106 t) by maintaining a 96.82% ecological land share in 2030, reducing the carbon deficit by 7.79 × 106 t compared with the ND scenario; (4) the average annual temperature is the largest single factor affecting carbon storage, and its interaction with the population factor has a high q value of 0.84. This study innovatively reveals the nonlinear threshold effect of LUCC-carbon storage response in the Jinsha River Basin of Yunnan Province, and the proposed optimization model of “ecological protection” can provide decision support and corresponding reference for the construction of ecological security barriers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.…”
