Article Abstract
: The focus of this research was to establish the interrater reliability and content validity of the Usability Scale for Assistive Technology-Computer Access (USAT-CA), an evaluation tool to facilitate selection of computer access AT devices for individuals with disabilities.: AT providers used the USAT-CA to evaluate two clients with physical disabilities interacting with their computer. Initially, an expert cohort of six providers used a draft version of the USAT-CA and provided feedback. Subsequently, 13 AT providers used a revised version to evaluate the clients. The providers filled out a content validation questionnaire and recommended computer access solutions for each client.: Overall intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) scores were 0.8 and 0.9 for the AT provider cohorts, respectively. In each domain, ICC scores ranged from 0.7 to 0.9. There was agreement among the providers on the tool's comprehensiveness, clarity, time needed, and utility. For Client 1, 16 out of 19 AT providers recommended speech recognition software in combination with selected direct selection interfaces. For Client 2, 14 out of 19 providers recommended ergonomic and workspace modifications.: The USAT-CA was found to have good to excellent inter-rater reliability, good content validity, and consistency in recommendations to optimize client-computer interaction.

DelGrad: exact event-based gradients for training delays and weights on spiking neuromorphic hardware.

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) inherently rely on the timing of signals for representing and processing information. Augmenting SNNs with trainable transmission delays, alongside synaptic weights, has recently shown to increase their accuracy and parameter efficiency. However, existing training methods to optimize such networks rely on discrete time, approximate gradients, and full access to internal variables such as membrane potentials.

Understanding the structural and functional diversity of toxin proteins is critical for elucidating macromolecular behavior, mechanistic variability, and structure-driven bioactivity. Traditional approaches have primarily focused on binary toxicity prediction, offering limited resolution into distinct modes of action of toxins. Here, we present MultiTox, an ensemble stacking framework for the classification of toxin proteins based on their molecular mode of action: neurotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins, and enterotoxins.

Spin qubit defects in two-dimensional materials have a number of advantages over those in three-dimensional hosts including simpler technologies for the defect creation and control, as well as qubit accessibility. In this work, we select the VBCB defect in the hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) as a possible optically controllable spin qubit and explain its triplet ground state and neutrality. In this defect a boron vacancy is combined with a carbon dopant substituting the closest boron atom to the vacancy.

Background: The ability to access and evaluate online health information is essential for young adults to manage their physical and mental well-being. With the growing integration of the internet, mobile technology, and social media, young adults (aged 18-30 years) are increasingly turning to digital platforms for health-related content. Despite this trend, there remains a lack of systematic insights into their specific behaviors, preferences, and needs when seeking health information online.
