Frequency- and time-domain measurements have been made on surfaces composed from parallel periodically-spaced rectangular strips (width: 0.0126 m, height: 0.0253 m) on an acoustically hard surface. The edge-to-edge spacing between the strips has been varied between 0.003 and 0.06 m. Frequency domain predictions show that when the spacing is small, these surfaces may be regarded as locally reacting rigid-framed hard-backed slit-pore layers with an effective depth slightly larger than the strip height, but when the spacing is comparable to the strip height or greater, the surfaces behave as periodically rough surfaces. Both frequency- and time-domain results show that surface waves of comparable magnitudes are created over the range of strip spacings studied but the frequency content of the acoustically induced surface waves decreases as the mean spacing is increased. It is found that surface wave dispersion is better predicted by the deduced effective impedance spectrum than by the slit-pore layer impedance model.

Background: In patients with structurally normal hearts, algorithms using surface electrocardiographic P-wave morphology are helpful to predict focal atrial tachycardia (FAT) location. However, these algorithms have not been formally assessed in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD).
Objectives: This study sought to assess the efficacy of FAT-location prediction algorithms in an adult population of patients with ACHD.

Background: Permethrin is a pesticide used to kill insects, and once used in excess, it poses a great threat to the environment and human health, therefore, it is necessary to realize the rapid and accurate detection of permethrin. Fiber optic surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes have the advantages of small volume and can be used for remote monitoring, which have great potential for application in achieving in-situ detection of pesticide residues.
Results: Fiber taper waist (FTW) SERS probes modified by silver nanocubes-graphene oxide (Ag NCs-GO) composite structures were prepared for in situ detection of permethrin in lake water.

We report on the dynamics of a soliton propagating on the surface of a fluid in a 4-m-long canal with a random or periodic bottom topography. Using a full space-and-time resolved wave field measurement, we evidence, for the first time experimentally, how the soliton is affected by the disorder, in the context of Anderson localization, and how localization depends on nonlinearity. For weak soliton amplitudes, the localization length is found in quantitative agreement with a linear shallow-water theory.

Metamaterials hold great promise for application in the field of perfect absorbers due to their remarkable ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves. In this work, a full-spectrum ultra-wideband solar absorber with a multilayer metal-dielectric stacked structure is designed. Our absorber is simple and easy to manufacture, with Ti serving as the substrate, overlaid with SiN spacer layers and four pairs of Ti-SiN ring columns.

For terrestrial observations at optical wavelengths recorded over flat terrain, the vertical temperature gradient controls the bending of the rays thus affecting mostly the vertical angle measurement. The rules of thumb for mitigating these effects (variation ranges and short-term fluctuations) are based on intuition and practitioner experience.
