Entangled light sources for illuminating objects offer advantages over conventional illumination methods by enhancing the detection sensitivity of reflecting objects. The core of the quantum advantage lies in effectively exploiting quantum correlations to isolate noise and detect objects with low reflectivity. This work experimentally demonstrates the benefits of using polarization-entangled photon pairs for quantum illumination and shows that the quantum correlation measure, using CHSH value and normalized CHSH value, is robust against losses, noise, and depolarization.

- Resource-poor areas facing moisture deficits suffer from iron deficiency in rice cultivation, leading to a study that evaluated the Bengal and Assam Aus rice varieties for growth traits in an iron-deprived environment.
- A new scoring scale classified rice tolerance to iron deficiency from 0 (most tolerant) to 9 (most susceptible), revealing four key candidate genes responsible for various growth traits such as shoot length and root characteristics.
- The study identified BR16 as a superior donor with enhanced growth metrics compared to RA23, while also exploring how genetic variations in the candidate genes contribute to abiotic stress tolerance in rice.
Introduction: Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is a non-model spice crop of significant agricultural and biological importance. The 'quick wilt' disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora capsici is a major threat, leading to substantial crop loss.

Purpose: To determine if left-digit bias in patient age influences the decision to perform arthrodesis with instrumentation vs decompression in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).
Design: Retrospective cohort.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the impact of anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) versus posterior cervical decompression and fusion (PCDF) for the treatment of acute traumatic central cord syndrome (CCS) on hospital episodes of care in terms of (1) cost, (2) length of hospital stay, and (3) discharge destination.
Summary Of Background Data: Acute traumatic CCS is the most common form of spinal cord injury in the United States.
