We present a new method for extracting the effective attenuation coefficient and the diffusion coefficient from relative spectrally resolved cw radiance measurements using the diffusion approximation. The method is validated on both simulated and experimental radiance data sets using Intralipid-1% as a test platform. The effective attenuation coefficient is determined from a simple algebraic expression constructed from a ratio of two radiance measurements at two different source-detector separations and the same 90° angle. The diffusion coefficient is determined from another ratio constructed from two radiance measurements at two angles (0° and 180°) and the same source-detector separation. The conditions of the validity of the method as well as possible practical applications are discussed.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. The clinical workflow of arthroscopy typically involves inserting an arthroscope into the joint through a small incision, during which surgeons navigate and operate largely by relying on their visual assessment through the arthroscope. However, the arthroscope's restricted field of view and lack of depth perception pose challenges in navigating complex articular structures and achieving surgical precision during procedures.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the bioluminescence of Staphylococcus aureus changes when it is engulfed by macrophages, showing a reduction in light production compared to bacteria in culture.
- The bacterial count remains stable during this process, but bioluminescence increases again when bacteria are released after macrophage cell death or when fresh macrophages are added.
- These findings highlight the need to consider intracellular residency effects on bioluminescence when using imaging techniques to study infections in live animals.

This work introduces CAECENET, a new system capable of automatically retrieving columnar and vertically-resolved aerosol properties running the GRASP (Generalized Retrieval of Atmosphere and Surface Properties) algorithm using sun-sky photometer (aerosol optical depth, AOD; and sky radiance measurements) and ceilometer (range corrected signal; RCS) data as input. This method, so called GRASPpac, is implemented in CAECENET, which assimilates sun-sky photometers data from CÆLIS database and ceilometer data from ICENET database (Iberian Ceilometer Network). CAECENET allows for continuous and near-real-time monitoring of both vertical and columnar aerosol properties.

Precise acquisition of potted plant traits has great theoretical significance and practical value for variety selection and guiding scientific cultivation practices. Although phenotypic analysis using two dimensional(2D) digital images is simple and efficient, leaf occlusion reduces the available phenotype information. To address the current challenge of acquiring sufficient non-destructive information from living potted plants, we proposed a three dimensional (3D) phenotyping pipeline that combines neural radiation field reconstruction with path analysis.
