We recently have proposed that a reduced interfacial model for streamer propagation is able to explain spontaneous branching. Such models require regularization. In the present paper we investigate how transversal Fourier modes of a planar ionization front are regularized by the electric screening length. For a fixed value of the electric field ahead of the front we calculate the dispersion relation numerically. These results guide the derivation of analytical asymptotes for arbitrary fields: for small wave-vector k, the growth rate s(k) grows linearly with k, for large k, it saturates at some positive plateau value. We give a physical interpretation of these results.

Cryogenic front-end circuit for capacitive sensing in superconducting gravimeters.
Rev Sci Instrum
January 2025
Capacitive sensors are commonly used in superconducting gravimeters due to their high resolution and low drift. This study developed a cryogenic front-end circuit for superconducting gravimeters to reduce the negative effects of parasitic capacitance on capacitive sensors. The front-end circuit comprises a noiseless superconducting transformer and a low-noise cryogenic preamplifier, both of which are positioned adjacent to the capacitive sensor probe.

Unlabelled: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in infant health, with its development during the first 1,000 days influencing health outcomes. Understanding the relationships within the microbiota is essential to linking its maturation process to these outcomes. Several network-based methods have been developed to analyze the developing patterns of infant microbiota, but evaluating the reliability and effectiveness of these approaches remains a challenge.

Objectives: As a population at high risk for psychological distress, healthcare workers typically experience varying degrees of anxiety, depression, and burnout. Studies have found that depression and anxiety have a negative impact on the mental health domain of burnout in healthcare workers. However, little is known about the symptom-to-symptom interactions between these psychological outcomes.
