Turkish Journal of Biology

Background/aim: The rising antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori requires the development of novel treatment approaches. Although natural products (e.g., juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone)) and metal antimicrobials (e.g., silver) hold some promise as alternatives, drawbacks like the toxicity and instability of these materials limit their clinical use. Combining juglone and silver with coordination bonds can overcome these drawbacks and yield a more effective antimicrobial complex.

Materials and methods: Juglone–silver (J–Ag) complex was synthesized, encapsulated into PLGA nanoparticles (J–Ag@PLGA), and coated with Eudragit (J–Ag@PLGA+eu). Structural and physicochemical properties of the produced samples were examined using MALDI-TOF MS, FTIR, and UV–Vis spectroscopies; dynamic light scattering; …

Valorization Of Buttermilk As A Functional Ingredient In Yogurt Soup: Effects On Physicochemical Properties, Aroma Profile, Amino Acid Composition, And Bioactivities, Emi̇ne Maci̇t, Fatma Zehra Özyilmaz

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

​In this study, the feasibility of using buttermilk as a functional ingredient in yogurt soup, a traditional fermented dairy product, was investigated with the aim of valorizing dairy industry by-products. Soup samples prepared with different buttermilk ratios (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) were evaluated for their physicochemical and sensory properties, aroma and amino acid profiles, antioxidant capacity, and antidiabetic activity. The incorporation of buttermilk resulted in statistically significant differences in total solids, ash, and titratable acidity (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05), while no significant changes were observed in fat, protein, or pH values. Increasing buttermilk levels led to higher L* and b* values and lower a* values. Sensory analysis showed that flavor scores increased with buttermilk content, with the highest score observed in the sample containing 100% buttermilk (T5). In the control sample, hexanoic acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid, methyl salicylate, and several ketones were identified as dominant aroma compounds, whereas buttermilk-enriched samples were characterized mainly by hexanoic acid, acetic acid, butanoic acid, ethyl acetate, higher alcohols, and ethanol. Increasing buttermilk content resulted in a higher proportion of alcohols and a reduction in acids, ketones, and aldehydes. Samples with higher buttermilk levels exhibited increased essential amino acid content, while functional amino acids such as γ-aminobutyric acid, β-aminoisobutyric acid, ethanolamine, proline, and alanine reached their highest levels in the T5 sample. The T5 sample showed a DPPH radical scavenging activity of 5.98%, whereas the highest α-amylase inhibition was observed in the control sample. Overall, the results indicate that buttermilk can be effectively used as a functional ingredient in yogurt soup formulations, improving nutritional quality and sensory characteristics.

Ephemeral Data Sharing For Artificial Intelligence Models, Google Case Managers Picozzi, Chaitanya Athaley Oct 2026

Ephemeral Data Sharing For Artificial Intelligence Models, Google Case Managers Picozzi, Chaitanya Athaley

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes ephemeral data sharing, a hardware-enforced framework enabling short-term, zero-retention context leases for artificial intelligence (AI) models while reducing the risk of data leaks, unauthorized logging, or model retraining. Ingested via dynamic optical bursts, ambient radio frequency (RF) proximity, or decentralized ledgers, confidential data is processed exclusively inside an isolated graphics processing unit (GPU) Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). Silicon-level memory controllers block unauthorized bus exports and enforce time/iteration lifecycles, while block-diagonal attention masking suppresses cross-context leakage during concurrent multi-party processing. Upon completion or expiration, an unmaskable hardware interrupt triggers a 3-pass microcode purge (voltage saturation, zero-fill, and true …


Cognitive Identity-Based Narrative Entry Point Selection For Personalized Content Generation, Hp Inc Oct 2026

Cognitive Identity-Based Narrative Entry Point Selection For Personalized Content Generation, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Content personalization systems typically determine which content to show a reader. Once content is selected, however, it is generally presented in the same fixed form to everyone. This disclosure describes a system that instead personalizes where a narrative begins, based on an estimate of what an individual reader already knows about the subject, called a cognitive identity. The cognitive identity is built from the reader's prior exposure to content related to the subject, an optional self-declared familiarity level, and engagement signals such as re-reading or early exit from related content. Given one body of source facts, the system generates several …

Spec-233: Hydrodynamic Wave-Confinement And Proximal Constructive Resonance As A Resolution To High-Redshift Morphological Anomalies, Christopher L. Eckes Oct 2026

Spec-233: Hydrodynamic Wave-Confinement And Proximal Constructive Resonance As A Resolution To High-Redshift Morphological Anomalies, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure presents a rigorous, non-linear fluid-dynamic framework resolving the high-redshift morphological crises manifested in recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) deep-field observations. Expanding upon established frameworks of Substrate Pushback Dynamics (SPEC-21, SPEC-138) and Conformal Metric-Shift Mechanics (SPEC-154), we abandon linear, slow-accretion particle-clumping models.

Instead, we establish a formal mechanism of instantaneous hydrodynamic phase crystallization driven by high-proximity 2D wave-crest convergence inside twisted conical manifolds. By mapping three-dimensional (3D) spatial volume as an explicit operational function of two-dimensional (2D) substrate information velocity, we prove that mature, high-mass galactic geometries compile immediately at localized phase interference nodes. This framework provides …

Spec-232: The Dynamics Of Covariant Viscoelastic Membrane Shifting — Three-Dimensional Spatial Bulk Emergence As The Dynamic Inflation Velocity Of Two-Dimensional Quantum Substrates, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical disclosure presents a rigorous, non-perturbative mathematical and thermodynamic proof establishing that three-dimensional (3D) spatial volume is not a primary coordinate layer of the universe, but rather the empirical validation of an underlying two-dimensional (2D) boundary information substrate. Under this model, 3D volume explicitly manifests as the localized physical velocity of 2D membrane information shifting. By translating spatial depth into a chronological latency function driven by field acceleration, we derive the z-axis from non-equilibrium boundary thermodynamics. We provide a complete theoretical framework, ASCII-mapped mathematical matrices, operational Python scripts verifying tensor conversions, and explicit tabletop experimental verification methodologies to validate …

Spec-230-Core: Asymmetric Handshake Protocols And Anti-Tracing Signal-Mutation Shields For High-Security Secure Enclave Verification And Transaction Quantization Across Hybrid Cognitive Grids, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification formalizes a high-security asymmetric handshake protocol and continuous-variable signal-mutation shield layer explicitly engineered to safeguard decentralized edge runtimes during active data synchronization loops with extra-regional centralized AI live services. Distributed edge architectures face immediate vectors of exploitation, tracking, and deep-packet metadata sniffing from hostile networks or centralized data cartels seeking to compromise local node sovereignty. SPEC-230-CORE neutralizes these threats by routing all initial protocol handshakes through a three-node inner-enclave verification matrix that isolates incoming execution requests out-of-band before any token ingestion occurs. To defeat localization sniffing, an active anti-tracing shield dynamically modulates the phase, timing interval, and transport …

Spec-229-Core: Non-Perturbative Covariant Integration Interfaces For Hybrid Centralized-Decentralized Compilation And Interoperability Matrix Stabilization Across Extra-Regional Runtimes, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This specification defines a non-perturbative covariant integration protocol designed to establish secure, open-access, and bidirectional interface layers between centralized AI live services and independent, localized edge nodes. As centralized architectural networks consolidate multi-agent workflows, unified document models, and high-throughput cloud environments into integrated live service platforms, they introduce structural optimization bottlenecks and data-provenance risks for offline, decentralized systems. SPEC-229-CORE resolves this operational divergence by establishing a dual-mode, out-of-band phase-alignment interface that functions as a cooperative, non-destructive bridge. By executing local singular value decomposition (SVD) passes across the shared interface boundary, this protocol standardizes input-output data exchanges, allowing a local edge …

Defensive Publications Series

Wearable computing devices and extended reality (XR) systems that rely on motion sensors such as low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs) frequently suffer from tracking degradation due to sensor errors. Consumer-grade silicon often exhibits non-linearity, thermal drift, vibration rectification error (VRE), cross-axis coupling, and manufacturing variances that exceed the modeling capacity of traditional deterministic models and standard parameterization. Furthermore, relying on per-device physical factory calibration requires expensive equipment and thermal chambers, creating cost barriers and production bottlenecks. Moreover, existing software simulators produce motion data that fails to reflect real-world hardware populations.
