Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for culturing systemic bioengineered tumor models, including osteosarcoma cells or breast adenocarcinoma cells derived from patients. The model includes the tumor cells on host tissues such as bone, liver, lung, and heart tissue, wherein the bone, liver, lung, and heart tissue are separated by endothelial barriers. Beneath the endothelial barriers the tissues are connected via circulation containing secreted factors and cells (e.g., tumor/immune cells).

Abstract: Conventionally, the arterial input function is determined by administering a contrast agent and measuring the responsive magnetic signal in a reference voxel located in a large artery such as the middle cerebral artery. By instead measuring the signal in a voxel of the choroid plexus, a more accurate profile for the arterial input function may be obtained. The metabolic activity in the choroid plexus is negligible, which provides greater certainty for signal sampling.

Abstract: A measuring system is disclosed which includes an electrolysis container, at least one mandrel contained in the electrolysis container and on which a coating is made by surface metallization, a liquid contained in the electrolysis container and containing a solution enabling the conductivity of the mandrel to be increased, more than one probe on the mandrel, enabling the conductivity of the mandrel to be measured, at least one first probe set enabling current to be transmitted onto the mandrel and allowing the current passing on it to be measured by means of an amperemeter located thereon, at least one second probe set enabling the voltage difference to be measured by a voltmeter.

Abstract: Generally discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for generating a phrase that is confusing to a language classifier. A method can include determining, by the LC, a first classification score (CS) of a prompt indicating whether the prompt is a first class or a second class, predicting, based on the prompt and by a pre-trained language model (PLM), likely next words and a corresponding probability for each of the likely next words, determining, by the LC, a second CS for each of the likely next words, determining, by an adversarial classifier, respective scores for each of the likely next words, the respective scores determined based on the first CS of the prompt, the second CS of the likely next words, and the probabilities of the likely next words, and selecting, by an adversarial classifier, a next word of the likely next words based on the respective scores.
