Mechanisms to improve measurement accuracy through differential signaling in homodyne interferometers.

Homodyne interferometers (HIs) utilize differential signaling to reduce common-mode noise and enhance measurement stability. However, their potential to improve measurement accuracy has not been thoroughly investigated. To address this gap, we reveal two unrecognized mechanisms enabled by differential-output signal (DS): self-compensation for odd-order periodic nonlinear error (PNE) and mitigation of PNE caused by ghost reflections.

Serum KL-6 levels reflect the severity of interstitial lung disease caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Tumor immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has emerged as a powerful strategy in treating malignant tumors, exhibiting efficacy in both first-line and second-line treatments for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Despite their success, ICIs can lead to adverse reactions, including interstitial lung disease (ILD), with an incidence ranging from 2.7 % to 20.

How the Ectopic Expression of the Barley Gene Enhances Drought Resistance in .

In this study, the drought-responsive gene from barley was transferred to , and overexpression lines were obtained. The phenotypic characteristics of the transgenic plants, along with physiological indicators and transcription level changes of stress-related genes, were determined under drought treatment. Under drought stress, transgenic plants overexpressing exhibited enhanced drought tolerance and longer root lengths compared to wild-type plants.

Three-Dimensional Stacked Stretchable Thermoelectric Device for Virtual Sensation.

Stretchable electronics have significant applications in wearable applications. However, the extremely low thermal conductivity of elastic encapsulation hinders heat dissipation, leading to performance degradation. For instance, stretchable thermoelectric devices (TEDs) can be used for skin temperature regulation, but poor thermal management limits their cooling performance.
