Computational simulations have revolutionized materials design, accelerating innovation by allowing researchers to explore material properties and their behaviors virtually before experimental validation[1-4]. This shift has led to significant breakthroughs that range from energy storage[5, 6] to pharmaceutical development[7, 8]. However, a persistent challenge undermines this potential: the technical barriers to effective simulation setup disproportionately burden researchers, particularly those whose expertise lies in experimental rather than computational domains. When scientists identify a promising new compound, understanding its fundamental properties often requires computational validation. Y et, even seemingly straightforward simulations frequently lead to lengthy technical challenges. Even experienced computational scientists (physicists, chemists, engineers) find themselves diverted from scientific inquiry toward navigating complex programming challenges, engaging in trial-and-error attempts, and struggling with computational setup details rather than focusing on the scientific questions[9]. Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) has emerged as a robust framework to accelerate materials development by synergizing experimental data, simulations, and theoretical models across multiple scales.

Given the constant growth and increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, cybersecurity can no longer rely solely on traditional defense techniques and tools. Proactive detection of cyber threats has become essential to help security teams identify potential risks and implement effective mitigation measures. Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) plays a key role by providing security analysts with evidence-based knowledge about cyber threats. CTI information can be extracted using various techniques and data sources; however, machine learning has proven promising. As for data sources, social networks and online discussion forums are commonly explored. In this study, we apply text mining techniques and machine learning to data collected from Dark Web forums in Brazilian Portuguese to identify malicious posts. Our contributions include the creation of three original datasets, a novel multi-stage labeling process combining indicators of compromise (IoCs), contextual keywords, and manual analysis, and a comprehensive evaluation of text representations and classifiers. To our knowledge, this is the first study to focus specifically on Brazilian Portuguese content in this domain. The best-performing model, using LightGBM and TF-IDF, was able to detect relevant posts with high accuracy. We also applied topic modeling to validate the model's outputs on unlabeled data, confirming its robustness in real-world scenarios.

Most real-world networks are too large to be measured or studied directly and there is substantial interest in estimating global network properties from smaller sub-samples. One of the most important global properties is the number of vertices/nodes in the network.

To tackle this issue, we conducted the theoretical analysis to promote the effectiveness of contrast decoding.

Consequently, it is uncertain whether the generated modalities sufficiently represent the diversity of future behaviors.

Industrial robotic systems (IRS) are increasingly deployed in diverse environments, where failures can result in severe accidents and costly downtime. Ensuring the reliability of the software controlling these systems is therefore critical. Mutation testing, a technique widely used in software engineering, evaluates the effectiveness of test suites by introducing small faults, or mutants, into the code. However, traditional mutation operators are poorly suited to robotic programs, which involve message-based commands and interactions with the physical world. This paper explores the adaptation of mutation testing to IRS by defining domain-specific mutation operators that capture the semantics of robot actions and sensor readings. We propose a methodology for generating meaningful mutants at the level of high-level read and write operations, including movement, gripper actions, and sensor noise injection. An empirical study on a pick-and-place scenario demonstrates that our approach produces more informative mutants and reduces the number of invalid or equivalent cases compared to conventional operators. Results highlight the potential of mutation testing to enhance test suite quality and contribute to safer, more reliable industrial robotic systems.
