Floquet-Driven Crossover from Density-Assisted Tunneling to Enhanced Pair Tunneling.

We investigate the experimental control of pair tunneling in a double-well potential using Floquet engineering. We demonstrate a crossover from a regime with density-assisted tunneling to dominant pair tunneling by tuning the effective interactions. Furthermore, we show that the pair tunneling rate can be enhanced not only compared to the Floquet-reduced single-particle tunneling but even beyond the static superexchange rate, while keeping the effective interaction in a relevant range.

Artifact Augmentation for Enhanced Tissue Detection in Microscope Scanner Systems.

As the field of routine pathology transitions into the digital realm, there is a surging demand for the full automation of microscope scanners, aiming to expedite the process of digitizing tissue samples, and consequently, enhancing the efficiency of case diagnoses. The key to achieving seamless automatic imaging lies in the precise detection and segmentation of tissue sample regions on the glass slides. State-of-the-art approaches for this task lean heavily on deep learning techniques, particularly U-Net convolutional neural networks.

Nanospray-assisted deposition of silver nanoparticles for mapping of a peptide in nanofibrous layers via surface-enhanced Raman spectrometry.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectrometry (SERS) is a universal detection tool identifying molecules via vibrations of their chemical bonds. Its function requires the close localization of metal nanostructures and the analyte. In this work, we present a lab-made instrumentation for the deposition of silver nanoparticles on a strongly hydrophilic nanofibrous composite via a nanospray for SERS mapping of an incorporated peptide.

Diabetes-Related Quality of Life: Learning From Individuals Making Lifestyle Changes to Improve Type 2 Diabetes Control.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how treatment adherence and lifestyle changes required for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D) are related to quality of life (QoL) among predominantly ethnic minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged adults engaged in making changes to improve T2D self-management.

Methods: Adults with T2D in New York City were recruited for the parent study based on recent A1C (≥7.5%) and randomly assigned to 1 of 2 arms, receiving educational materials and additional self-management support calls, respectively.

Calibration-Aimed Comparison of Image-Cytometry- and Flow-Cytometry-Based Approaches of Ploidy Analysis.

Ploidy analysis is the fundamental method of measuring DNA content. For decades, the principal way of conducting ploidy analysis was through flow cytometry. A flow cytometer is a specialized tool for analyzing cells in a solution.
