The validation of the multiresolution model of sea radiance in the infrared, developed at Onera, is investigated by comparison with measurements obtained during the MIRAMER campaign that took place in May 2008 in the Mediterranean Sea. The sea radiance model and optical properties are expressed and the experimental setup of the campaign is briefly presented. We focus on solar glint measurements collected on the 22nd of May at 5 h 59 m 50 s in the mid-wave IR (3.93-4.14 μm) band and the long-wave IR (8.19-8.96 μm) band onboard the research vessel (R/V) Atalante at a grazing observational angle. A sensitivity analysis of glitter radiance on atmospheric and aerosol profiles, as well as sea temperature and wind speed in the vicinity of the measured contextual parameters, is presented. Modeled and measured images are compared and results are delved into further by comparisons of histograms, averaged vertical and horizontal profiles. Errors in the 3.93-4.14 μm band are under those potentially due to calibration, whereas discrepancies are noticed in the 8.19-8.96 μm band, where the deepest analysis has to be performed.

Failure of Digital Device Performance in Monitoring Physical Exercise in a Pilot Study in Sedentary Persons with HIV.
Sensors (Basel)

Department of Infectious Diseases, IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute, 20127 Milan, Italy.
Digital devices have gained popularity in the last 10 years as a tool for exercise prescription, the monitoring of daily physical activity, and nutrition for the management of a health-related parameter. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the use of digital devices to monitor exercise data in sedentary persons with HIV who exercise following an individualized activity pacing (AP) protocol on cardiorespiratory fitness body composition, blood lipid profile, and psychological parameters. Twenty-four PLWH were enrolled in an 18-week randomized, open-label, pilot AP exercise protocol.

Article Synopsis
- - Researchers have developed a new type of gold nanorod drug delivery system (UGRV-DOX) that enhances cancer treatment through multimodal synergistic therapy and utilizes the unique properties of gold nanorods for photothermal therapy.
- - The UGRV-DOX vesicles are designed with a hollow structure to increase drug loading capacity and are made with specialized polymers that minimize drug leakage, allowing for effective and controlled drug release when exposed to light.
- - In animal studies, these nanovesicles demonstrated a powerful anti-tumor effect, significantly reducing tumor size by 99.3% when treated with an 808 nm laser, showcasing their potential for precise cancer treatment.

Invisible photonic patterns (IPPs) are photonic materials that can display hidden patterns under external stimulation and are attractive in anti-counterfeiting devices and information storage. In this work, we report a solvent-responsive invisible photonic pattern (SRIPP) with high contrast by polymerizing two monomers of acrylamide (AAm) and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) with different solubility parameters in different regions of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) photonic gels. The two regions with different solvent responsiveness can shrink and swell in the same environment, thus causing the colors of different regions of photonic gel to shift in opposite directions from the initial state.

In the present work, the removal of fast sulphon black (FSB) dye from water was executed by using chitin-cl-poly(itaconic acid-co-acrylamide)/zirconium tungstate nanocomposite hydrogel (Ch-cl-poly(IA-co-AAm)-ZrW NCH). The Ch-cl-poly(IA-co-AAm)-ZrW NCH was fabricated proficiently by microwave-induced sol-gel/copolymrization method. The zirconium tungstate (ZrW) photocatalyst was prepared by co-precipitation method using sodium tungstate and zirconium oxychloride in ratio (2:1).
