A simple method has been developed for control and prevention of polarization fade on a single output lead from a remotely located fiber-optic interferometer. The method has been demonstrated using a fiber-optic Michelson interferometer. In contrast to a previously suggested method, only a single detector is required. The technique has application for passive, remotely located sensors. Extension to balanced homodyne detection schemes and coherent communications is discussed.

Background: Most research on tracking practice locations of health students has focused on medical students, particularly the factors influencing their choice to work in rural and remote areas. However, there is limited research on how rural origin and training in regional or rural settings affect the employment destinations of dental and oral health graduates. This paper explores the practice locations of dentistry and oral health therapy (OHT) graduates from rural backgrounds compared to those from metropolitan areas in Australia.

In November 2020, a volunteer group reported an outbreak of an infectious disease with a high fatality rate and flu-like symptoms among stray cats in Aoshima, a remote island in Ehime, Japan. Nine adult cats with severe symptoms were hospitalized. Feline calicivirus (FCV) was isolated from pharyngeal swabs of six hospitalized cats.

The proliferation of cyanobacteria has become a significant water management challenge due to the increasing eutrophication of water supply reservoirs. Cyanobacterial blooms thrive on elevated nutrient concentrations and form extensive green mats, disrupting the local ecosystem. Furthermore, many cyanobacterial species can produce toxins that are lethal to vertebrates called cyanotoxins.

Ultrashort pulse sources are complex and resource-intensive. To reduce overhead and simplify operations, we had previously developed a method to deliver ultra-short pulses through fiber-optic links to multiple locations and to characterize them remotely using a compact detector module. We created a pulse pair with varying delays at the central location using a pulse shaper before launching them into the fiber links and measured the first and second-order autocorrelations at the satellite location.

Colorectal cancer (CRC), one of the most common tumors in the world, is generally proposed to be generated from intestinal stem cells (ISCs). Leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5)-positive ISCs are located at the bottom of the crypt and harbor self-renewal and differentiation capacities, serving as the resource of all intestinal epithelial cells and CRC cells as well. Here we review recent progress in ISCs both in non-tumoral and tumoral contexts.
