Non-uniform sampling in multidimensional NMR shows great promise to significantly decrease experimental acquisition times, especially for relaxation experiments for which peak locations are already known. In this paper we present a method for optimizing the non-uniform sampling points such that the noise amplification and numerical instabilities are minimized. In particular, the minimum singular value of the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse is maximized using sequential semi-definite programming, thereby minimizing the worst-case errors. We test this method numerically on a set of assignment data from the proteins ubiquitin (in both folded and unfolded states) and RIalpha (119-244), a cAMP-binding regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). This test indicates that optimizing more than doubles the efficiency over random selection of points, and the efficiency increases as we go to higher dimensions.

Copy number variants (CNVs) are prevalent in both diploid and haploid genomes, with the latter containing a single copy of each gene. Studying CNVs in genomes from single or few cells is significantly advancing our knowledge in human disorders and disease susceptibility. Low-input including low-cell and single-cell sequencing data for haploid and diploid organisms generally displays shallow and highly non-uniform read counts resulting from the whole genome amplification steps that introduce amplification biases.

Traditional surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates seeking uniformity and reproducibility of the Raman signal often assume and require that hot spots remain consistently stable during Raman testing. Recently, the non-uniform accumulation in SERS sample pre-concentration strategies have inspired the direct use of self-healing noble metal aerogels (NMAs), as the sample pretreatment presented in this work, and uncovered more diverse Raman information of substances during the dynamic process of laser irradiation. Rare characteristic peaks such as 820 cm⁻ for R6G within a specific concentration range were observed, and potential processes including R6G dimerization and desorption were analyzed.

PCA-based denoising usually implies either discarding a number of high-index principal components (PCs) of a data matrix or their attenuation according to a regularization model. This work introduces an alternative, model-free, approach to high-index PC attenuation that seeks to average values of PC vectors as if they were expected from noise perturbation of data. According to the perturbation theory, the average PCs are attenuated versions of the clean PCs of noiseless data - the higher the noise-related content in a PC vector, the lower is its average's norm.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids can be utilized in one of the fundamental operating modes of which the gradient pinch mode has been the least explored. In this unique mode non-uniform magnetic field distributions are taken advantage of to develop a so-called Venturi-like contraction in MR fluids. By adequately directing magnetic flux the material can be made solidified in the regions near the flow channel wall, thus creating a passage in the middle of the channel for the fluid to pass through.

This study presents a cutting-edge imaging technique for special unmanned vehicles (UAVs) designed to enhance tunnel inspection capabilities. This technique integrates ghost imaging inspired by the human visual system with lateral inhibition and variable resolution to improve environmental perception in challenging conditions, such as poor lighting and dust. By emulating the high-resolution foveal vision of the human eye, this method significantly enhances the efficiency and quality of image reconstruction for fine targets within the region of interest (ROI).
