As a sudden inflammation of the pancreas, acute pancreatitis presents severe complications and a high mortality rate, despite treatment. Lipase in serum serves as an essential biomarker of acute pancreatitis and even pancreatic cancer. Therefore, developing robust, convenient and sensitive probing of lipase levels is greatly needed. In this work, we present glutamate functionalized tetraphenyle...

A new type of reasoning-reuse technique for dynamic constraint satisfaction problems (DCSPs) is based on a form of the weighted degree strategy known as random probing, in which failures are sampled prior to search. This approach is effective with DCSPs because it can locate major bottlenecks in a problem, and because bottlenecks tend to remain stable after small or moderate changes. Here, we s...
