Poverty alleviation resettlement in China reduces deforestation.

Deforestation frequently accompanies poverty, yet various antipoverty programs in many countries have exhibited mixed results in addressing deforestation. Poverty Alleviation Resettlement (PAR) stands out as one of the few government-led resettlement programs designed to alleviate poverty, offering comprehensive follow-up support for quality of life and employment after relocation. Our study uncovered empirical evidence of the PAR program's impact on forest quality.

Single-pixel complex-field imaging through scattering media.

Much research in optics was conducted to retrieve phase of the light field, e.g., via a reference wave (such as holography) or single-path optical diffraction.

35-fs diode-pumped mode-locked ytterbium-doped multi-component alkaline-earth fluoride laser.

We demonstrate direct generation of sub-40 fs pulses from a diode-pumped mode-locked laser using an ytterbium-yttrium codoped multi-component alkaline-earth fluoride crystal and a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The Yb,Y:(Ca,Sr)F laser delivers soliton pulses as short as 35 fs at 1056.7 nm, with an average output power of 182 mW at a repetition rate of ∼65.

Simultaneous Mental Fatigue and Mental Workload Assessment with Wearable High-Density Diffuse Optical Tomography.

Accurately assessing mental states-such as mental workload and fatigue- is crucial for ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of brain-computer interface (BCI)-based applications. Relying on signals from a limited brain region with low spatial resolution may fail to capture the full scope of relevant information. To address this, high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT), an emerging form of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was employed in this study, which provides higher spatial resolution for hemodynamic measurements and enables the reconstruction of 3D brain images.
