Microbial Communities in and Around the Siboglinid Tubeworms from the South Yungan East Ridge Cold Seep Offshore Southwestern Taiwan at the Northern South China Sea.

To date, only a few microbial community studies of cold seeps at the South China Sea (SCS) have been reported. The cold seep dominated by tubeworms was discovered at South Yungan East Ridge (SYER) offshore southwestern Taiwan by miniROV. The tubeworms were identified and proposed as sp.

Two-frame random phase-shifting interferometry immune to the influence of tilted phase-shift.

To expand the reliability of interferometry technology, this paper proposes a random two-frame algorithm with high accuracy, high robustness, and immunity to tilt phase-shift. This method uses the equivalence of inter-frame phase-shift and intra-frame phase difference to mine light intensity pixels carrying new phase-shift from different images. Then, the linear random phase-shift plane is fitted by least squares, and the inverse tangent relationship is used to obtain a high-precision phase distribution.

Fast and precise single-frame phase demodulation interferometry.

To achieve real-time phase detection, this paper presents a fast and precise spatial carrier phase-shifting interferometry based on the dynamic mode decomposition strategy. The algorithm initially produces a series of phase-shifted sub-interferograms with the aid of a spatial carrier interferogram. Subsequently, the measured phases are derived with great accuracy from these sub-interferograms through the use of the dynamic mode decomposition strategy, an outstanding non-iterative algorithm.

Molecular and Functional Analysis of Trehalose-6-Phosphate Synthase Genes Enhancing Salt Tolerance in (Wall.) Lindl.

Trehalose is a reducing disaccharide, acting as a protectant against various environmental stresses in numerous organisms. In plants, trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) plays a crucial role in trehalose biosynthesis. (Wall.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Gray, 1846) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) and phylogenetic analysis.

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of (Gray, 1846) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) was first reported with 15,298 bp in size, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes ( and ), and one control region. The nucleotide composition of the entire mitogenome is highly A + T biased (81.5%).

Effects of propofol, benzodiazepines, and opioids on survival in cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study based on MIMIC-III.

Sedative and analgesic drugs are commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Analyzing the impact of these drugs on the prognosis of cancer patients can help improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the use of propofol, benzodiazepines, and opioids on the survival of cancer patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database.

Fast and robust two-frame random phase-shifting interferometry without pre-filtering.

To obtain higher phase accuracy with less computation time in phase-shifting interferometry, a random phase-shifting algorithm based on principal component analysis and least squares iteration (PCA&LSI) is proposed. The algorithm does not require pre-filtering, and only requires two-frame phase-shifted interferograms and less computation time to obtain a relatively accurate phase distribution. This method can still extract the phase with high precision when there are few fringes in the interferogram.

Phase recovery technology of a dual-frame phase-shifting interferogram based on first-order norm vector normalization.

The pursuit of high-precision and high-efficiency phase recovery methods has been a research focus of interferometric technology. We propose a dual-frame phase-shifting interferogram phase recovery technique based on normalization of the first-order norm. A set of sine and cosine components is constructed by the addition and subtraction of dual-frame interferograms.

Two-frame fringe pattern phase demodulation using Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization with least squares method.

Gram-Schmidt (GS) orthogonal normalization is a fast and efficient two-frame fringe phase demodulation method. However, the precision of the GS method is limited due to the residual background terms and noise, as well as several approximation operations in the GS method. To obtain a phase map with higher accuracy, we propose an algorithm combining GS orthogonal normalization and least squares iterative (LSI) phase shift algorithm (GS&LSI).

An interferometric method for local phase modulation calibration of LC-SLM using self-generated phase grating.

This paper proposes a new interferometric method to measure the phase modulation characteristics of a liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM). In our proposed method, the beam was incident perpendicular to the SLM and the combined grayscale pattern loaded into the SLM consisted of three parts. The left part was a blazed diffraction grating, and the two right parts were grayscale with different constant values.
