In this paper, a dual-parameter liquid level and refractive index (R.I.) sensor is fabricated using three pieces of bare polymer optical fibers (POFs), which can independently and simultaneously sense the liquid level and R.

The left almost hypermodule is characterized by a set endowed with two operations, evincing properties that extends across traditional module theory and hypermodules. This abstract intents to provide a succinct overview of salient attributes and prospective implications of the left almost hypermodule, stimulating further exploration of its properties and applications.

Aim: To summarize the body of evidence on the effects of pre-hospital anticoagulation on outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of 8 weeks spirulina supplementation and circuit resistance training (CRT) on asprosin, appetite, and energy balance in men with obesity and overweight.
Methods: The study comprised a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Sixty men with obesity and overweight (BMI > 25) were selected and randomly divided into four equal groups (n = 15 each) of training plus spirulina, training plus placebo, spirulina, and placebo.
