We propose a multi-wavelength digital holography based on Kramers-Kronig (KK) relations, introducing a unified angle-multiplexing multi-wavelength KK model to overcome the accuracy and resolution limitations of angle-multiplexing techniques. By linking the real and imaginary parts of the multi-wavelength complex function via the KK relation, the method captures object light waves with the full effective bandwidth from a single interferogram and reference wave intensity. This method greatly improves spectral utilization and measurement accuracy in multi-wavelength interference.

Article Synopsis
  • Programmed cell death (PCD) pathways are crucial for understanding the development and progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), serving as effective prognostic markers and influencing drug sensitivity.
  • Through single-cell analysis and a machine learning approach, a PCD-related signature (PCDS) was created that outperformed existing models in predicting patient outcomes, allowing for stratification into high-risk and low-risk groups based on overall survival rates.
  • The study also highlighted significant differences in the tumor microenvironment and drug sensitivity between the risk groups, with findings confirming the role of specific PCD-associated genes in LUAD cell behavior, ultimately aiding in prognosis and treatment strategies for patients.

Top grafting is an efficient and practical technique for the renewal and rejuvenation of citrus trees in old orchards. However, root death after top grafting restricts plant growth and canopy reconstruction. Thus, applications of rooting promotion substances before citrus top grafting may increase the amount and activity of roots, thereby enhancing top-grafted plant performance.

The rapid global increase in fossil fuel and energy consumption has resulted in the accumulation of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO), thus contributing to climate change. Therefore, transforming CO into valuable products could yield beneficial outcomes. In this review, the capabilities of Cupriavidus necator H16, a light-independent chemoautotrophic bacterium, as a host platform for the transformation of CO into diverse products are explored.

The water oxidation reaction (WOR), which is pivotal to storing energy in chemical bonds, requires a catalyst to overcome its inherent kinetic barrier. In bulk solutions, sacrificial oxidants (SOs) can regenerate the catalysts to ensure that the homogeneous WOR can be operated with long-term consistent performance. To implement this strategy for organic WOR systems, we modified four common SOs with tetra--butylammonium ([NBu])─[NBu][Ce(NO)], [NBu][IO], [NBu][HSO], and [NBu][SO]─and examined their chemical stability and electrochemical behaviors in various organic solvents.

A robust interface for coupling capillary electrophoresis (CE) to mass spectrometry (MS) was critical to maintain high separation efficiency of CE while achieving high sensitivity of MS. Current interfaces often suffer from problems such as reproducibility and ruggedness. For this purpose, a new polymetallic-coated sheathless interface was developed for the coupling of CE with MS.

The regulation of propellant combustion using ultrasonic waves is proposed. Under ultrasonic frequencies of 25-40 kHz, we systematically examined the combustion characteristics of Al particles, ammonium perchlorate (AP)/hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants, and Al-containing Al/AP/HTPB propellants. Ultrasonic treatment increased the ignition delay time of the Al particles by 48.

  • Leaf-scale photosynthetic optimization models aim to enhance predictions of plant photosynthesis based on environmental conditions, traditionally focusing on area-based optimality.
  • The study compares area-based and mass-based optimality models, finding that the mass-based approach provides more accurate predictions of photosynthetic responses to factors like light intensity and temperature.
  • Results indicate that using the mass-based optimality model could improve the accuracy of vegetation and land surface models in predicting plant carbon dynamics.

  • The study aimed to explore how insulin use is related to diabetic retinopathy (DR) and retinal blood vessel parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
  • It involved analyzing data from over 6,000 T2DM patients, comparing those on insulin with those not using any hypoglycemic medications, while also conducting follow-up on a subset of patients for three years.
  • Results indicated that insulin users had a significantly higher risk of developing DR and exhibited unfavorable changes in retinal blood vessel characteristics, suggesting a link between insulin use and increased risk of DR and potential cardiovascular issues in T2DM patients.

The efficient and accurate separation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) plays a vital role for disease diagnosis and therapy, but it is always hampered by the huge geometric size and complex structure of IgG. In this work, an amorphous Fe/Co bimetallic organic framework (denoted as PMOF-Fe/Co) is fabricated for IgG separation, with octa-carboxyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OCPOSS) as modulator for the first time. Benefiting from the rigid nanostructure and competitive coordination of OCPOSS, the aperture of PMOF-Fe/Co is enlarged to ∼20 nm along with the generation of enormous structural defects, which enables the accommodation of protein species with high molecular weights and large sizes.

Facial expression recognition using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is a prevalent research area, and the network's complexity poses obstacles for deployment on devices with limited computational resources, such as mobile devices. To address these challenges, researchers have developed lightweight networks with the aim of reducing model size and minimizing parameters without compromising accuracy. The LiteFer method introduced in this study incorporates depth-separable convolution and a lightweight attention mechanism, effectively reducing network parameters.

Depleted uranium (DU) from corroded armor penetrators can migrate through the soil vadose zone and cause environmental problems, yet studies on such migration at former theatres of war are scarce. Here, we investigated vertical DU migration in a soil profile due to a penetrator (3-8 cm beneath the soil surface) corroded over 7 years in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The highest concentration of DU was ∼45,300 mg/kg at 6-10 cm, with the concentration decreasing markedly with increasing depth.
