Chirped pulse heterodyne is proposed to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when measuring the beat note between an optical frequency comb and a continuous wave (CW) laser. The noise model reveals that all the comb power within the largest possible detection bandwidth can be used to increase the SNR. The chirped comb/CW interference experiment is shown to be equivalent to CW/CW interference, using the comb's spectrally available power. The approach can also greatly alleviate dynamic range issues when detected pulsed heterodyne signals. A beat note SNR of 68.3 dB in a 100 kHz bandwidth is achieved.

Article Synopsis
  • A technique is introduced for measuring the complex reflectivity of an optical cavity using two lasers: a resonant local oscillator laser and an auxiliary probe laser, both coupled to opposite ends of the cavity.
  • The method employs a heterodyne sensing scheme to analyze the interference pattern between the lasers, allowing for the precise measurement of phase and amplitude.
  • This approach was successfully tested on a 19-meter cavity, yielding accurate measurements of the transmissivities of the mirrors and round-trip optical losses with an accuracy of several parts per million.

Objective: To explore the genetic etiology and clinical phenotype of a child with Triadin knockout syndrome (TKOS), and to review the relevant literature of TKOS patients due to variants of TRDN gene.

Methods: A child who was admitted to the Children's Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University on March 19, 2023 due to sudden cardiac arrest 3 days earlier was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples (2 to 3 mL) were collected from the child and her parents for the extraction of genomic DNA and whole exome sequencing (WES).

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the potential of rare genetic introgressions in wheat, particularly highlighting a significant QTL for powdery mildew resistance on chromosome 7D.
  • It uses high-quality genomic data to identify nearly 25,000 introgression segments across various wheat accessions, emphasizing the importance of studying large populations to capture genetic diversity.
  • The findings reveal a previously unknown level of inter-homoeologue recombination, providing valuable resources for future wheat breeding focused on enhancing disease resistance and genetic variability.

Microneurographic recordings of the human cervical vagus nerve have revealed the presence of multi-unit neural activity with measurable cardiac rhythmicity. This suggests that the physiology of vagal neurones with cardiovascular regulatory function can be studied using this method. Here, the activity of cardiac rhythmic single units was discriminated from human cervical vagus nerve recordings using template-based waveform matching.
