20 µm resolution multipixel ghost imaging with high-energy x-rays.

Hard x-ray imaging is indispensable across diverse fields owing to its high penetrability. However, the resolution of traditional x-ray imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) systems, is constrained by factors including beam properties, the limitations of optical components, and detection resolution. As a result, the typical resolution in commercial imaging systems that provide full-field imaging is limited to a few hundred microns, and scanning CT systems are too slow for many applications.

Measurement of salivary thyroid hormones using the LC-MS/MS technique in a clinical setting.

Background: Saliva could be an attractive alternative to blood for assessing thyroid hormonal function.

Objectives: Our goal was to determine if the levels of thyroid hormones in saliva can accurately reflect a person's thyroid status and if they consistently correlate with the levels of the same hormones in the blood.

Design: We conducted a cross-sectional study.

Prototype of a New Head Grabber for Robotic Strawberry Harvesting with a Vision System.

This paper presents the design of a strawberry fruit head gripper unit, together with the concept of a control system for the operation of its mechanisms and vision system. The developed design consists of three specialised mechanisms: positioning, grasping, and cutting off of the fruit. A Finite Element Method (FEM) model was developed for the described design.

Comprehensive genotoxicity and carcinogenicity assessment of molnupiravir.

Molnupiravir is registered or authorized in several countries as a 5-d oral coronavirus disease 2019 treatment for adults. Molnupiravir is a prodrug of the antiviral ribonucleoside β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC) that distributes into cells, where it is phosphorylated to its pharmacologically active ribonucleoside triphosphate (NHC-TP) form. NHC-TP incorporates into severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 RNA by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, resulting in an accumulation of errors in the viral genome, leading to inhibition of viral replication and loss of infectivity.
