We present the first technique for directly measuring (without assumptions) the spatio-temporal intensity and phase of a train of ultrashort pulses at and near a focus. Our method uses an experimentally simple and high-spectral resolution variant of spectral interferometry (SEA TADPOLE). To illustrate our technique, we measured the spatio-temporal electric field in and around the foci of several different types of lenses. To confirm our results, we also simulated these measurements by numerically propagating a pulse through each of the lenses used. From one set of measurements, we made a movie showing a focusing pulse with severe chromatic aberration.

Expansion of perceived passable width in older adults.

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (Psychology), Kumamoto University, 2-40-1 Kurokami, Kumamoto 860-8555, Japan.

Humans can perceive whether an aperture is passable; this ability is known as passable width perception. Previous studies have shown that passable width in older adults is larger when walking and suggested the effect of larger body sway in older adults while walking on passable width expansion. However, no studies have directly investigated this.

Background: Radix Bupleuri (RB) and acetaminophen (APAP) are two popular medications having potential hepatotoxicity and substantial risks of irrational co-administration and excessive use, posing an overlooked danger of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Autophagy is a protective mechanism against APAP-induced DILI, yet, saikosaponin d (SSd) in RB has been characterized to regulate autophagy, although the current findings are controversial.

Purpose: We aim to elucidate whether SSd promoted APAP-induced liver injury by regulating autophagy.

A particle counting immunosensor for the sensitive detection of ochratoxin A via click chemistry-mediated signal amplification.

J Hazard Mater

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Marine Food Processing and Safety Control, Dalian Polytechnic University, Dalian, Liaoning 116034, PR China. Electronic address:

The existence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in agricultural products poses significant threats to human health and environment, underscoring the critical need for its prompt and precise quantification. A particle counting immunosensor for the highly sensitive detection of OTA was presented, employing SiO@CuO nanoparticles to facilitate click chemistry. The quantity of SiO@CuO nanoparticles, and consequently the Cu²⁺ concentration, can be directly altered through the immune response involving OTA.
