Magnetic resonance tagging usually relies on controlling the phase dispersion of the transverse magnetization component. Phase dispersion is, however, affected by the inherent phase of selective excitation pulses, thus limiting their combination with tagging sequences to the application of refocusable pulses, as in the localized spatial modulation of magnetization (L-SPAMM) technique. In this study, we examine the effect of selective excitation pulses on a L-SPAMM 1-1 sequence, showing that in the case of two identical pulses the phase component is canceled out, and thus preemphasis and refocus gradients are not needed, allowing us to take advantage of a constant gradient throughout the tagging sequence, and also that one might choose nonrefocusable maximum and minimum phase pulses.

The elemental imaging of laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) provides spatial information on elements and therefore can further investigate the growth or evolution processes of an analyte. However, the accurate determination of spatial information is limited by the decoupling between the elemental distribution and mass spectrometry signals. This phenomenon, which is more distinct when high-diffusion ablation cells are used, arises from the overlap of ablation and the transport dispersion of aerosols.

Dispersal is an important life history trait that plays a key role in the demography and evolution of species. We employed a combined approach of DNA sequencing and transmission electron microscopy to examine the changes in the microbiome during the ontogeny and dispersal of the coral-excavating sponge Thoosa mismalolli. The results show that sponge can acquired their associated bacteria via both vertical (VT) and horizontal transmission (HT).

Herein, using 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and 4,4',4″-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl) tris(1,1'-biphenyl) trianiline (Ttba) as ligands, nitrogen-rich triazine unit-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with a suitable pore size, named TpTtba-COFs, were synthesized, and they were employed as adsorbents for the extraction and detection of three bisphenols (BPs)-BP A (BPA), BP B (BPB), and BP S (BPS)-in water. Using 2,4,6-tris(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,5-triazine (Tapt) and 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene (Tapb) ligands as substitutes for Ttba, nitrogen-rich triazine unit-based COFs with a smaller pore size and nitrogen-poor triazine unit-based COFs, named TpTapt-COFs and TpTapb-COFs, respectively, were also prepared for comparison. The adsorption performances of the three COF adsorbents with regard to the three BPs were tested.

Free fentanyl is responsible for its pharmacological effects, but its total concentration is typically determined for therapeutic drug monitoring purposes. Determination of fentanyl concentration can help reduce the prescribed doses, leading to fewer side effects and increased effectiveness. Therefore, predicting free drug concentration in pharmaceutical research is crucial.

Hybrid nonlinear plasmonic waveguides, characterized by a small mode area and large nonlinear susceptibility, present an intriguing and practical platform for the minimization of nonlinear photonic devices. Nevertheless, the intrinsic Ohmic loss associated with surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and modal dispersion imposes constraints on the effective interaction length and, consequently, the ultimate efficiency of nonlinear processes. In this study, we demonstrate an efficient second harmonic generation (SHG) within a hybrid plasmonic waveguide by leveraging SPP-like modes at the fundamental wave and photonic-like modes at the SHG under phase matching conditions.
