We previously demonstrated, with both theoretical and experimental studies, the dynamic range limitation with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) relative to time domain OCT. A significant portion of this limitation was due to the difference of analog/digital conversion. In this paper, a new method of true logarithmic amplification is discussed theoretically and tested experimentally to increase the dynamic range of a swept source OCT. With the current experimental setup, an increase of the dynamic range by about 6 dB was obtained.

Humidity sensors have been widely used to monitor humidity in daily life, agriculture fields, and so on. However, conventional sensors are not suitable for wearable devices because of their large dimensions and rigid substrates. Hence, we report a fast response, highly sensitive, and fully flexible humidity sensor on a PI substrate based on the composite material of reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/MoS, with a response time of 0.

Patient-derived organoids represent a novel platform to recapitulate the cancer cells in the patient tissue. While cancer heterogeneity has been extensively studied by a number of omics approaches, little is known about the spatiotemporal kinase activity dynamics. Here we applied a live imaging approach to organoids derived from 10 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients to comprehensively understand their heterogeneous growth potential and drug responses.

CFD-Based Determination of Optimal Design and Operating Conditions of a Fermentation Reactor Using Bayesian Optimization.

Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA.

The efficiency of fermentation reactors is significantly impacted by gas dispersion and concentration distribution, which are influenced by the reactor's design and operating conditions. As the process scales up, optimizing these parameters becomes crucial due to the pronounced concentration gradients that can arise. This study integrates the kinetics of the fermentation process with hydrodynamic analysis using Bayesian optimization to efficiently determine the optimal reactor design and operating conditions.
