We report measurements of microwave (RF) generation in the centimeter band accomplished by irradiating a nonlinear KTiOPO4 crystal with a home-made, infrared laser at 1064 nm as a result of optical rectification. The laser delivers pulse trains of duration up to 1 μs. Each train consists of several high-intensity pulses at an adjustable repetition rate of approximately 4.6 GHz. The duration of the generated RF pulses is determined by that of the pulse trains. We have investigated both microwave- and second harmonic generation as a function of the laser intensity and of the orientation of the laser polarization with respect to the crystallographic axes of KTP.

Controlling polarization states of ferroelectrics can enrich optoelectronic properties and functions, offering a new avenue for designing advanced electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here, ferroelectric semiconductor-based field-effect transistors (FeSFETs) are fabricated, where the channel is a ferroelectric semiconductor (e.g.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases represent the leading cause of mortality worldwide. This category includes cerebrovascular disease, ischemic heart disease, and peripheral vascular disease. Secondary prevention is effective for patients with a history of cardiovascular events, with antihypertensives, statins, and acetylsalicylic acid being the most prescribed drugs.

Objectives: To our knowledge, there is no clear consensus on a definitive cardiac rehabilitation method for patients undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG). We conducted this systematic review to compare and evaluate the effects of two of the most frequent cardiac rehabilitation modalities, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), on cardiopulmonary variables.
Methods: We carried out a systematic search of the databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to review existing evidence to evaluate the effects of physical cardiac rehabilitation on cardio-pulmonary outcomes in the patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the databases PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The initial search led to 1222 citations after removing duplicate results.

Background & Problems: Fetal heartbeat (FHB) monitoring is used to monitor the condition of a fetus in the uterus and estimate the expected time of delivery. It is crucial to accurately and comprehensively monitor fetal heart beats in high-risk pregnancies. However, invalid alarms frequently occur in clinical environments, easily promoting alarm fatigue among nurses and causing anxiety and distrust in the laboring women and their families.
