Within an underwater acoustic waveguide, the interference among multipath arrivals causes a phase difference in orthogonal components of the particle velocity. When two components of the particle velocity are not in phase, the fluid particles follow an elliptical trajectory. This property of the acoustic field can be readily detected by a vector sensor. A non-dimensional vector quantity, the degree of circularity, is used to quantify how much the trajectory resembles a circle. In this paper, vector sensor measurements collected during the 2013 Target and Reverberation Experiment are used to demonstrate the effect of multipath interference on the degree of circularity. Finally, geoacoustic properties representing the sandy sediment at the experimental site are inverted by minimization of a cost function, which quantifies the deviation between the measured and modeled degree of circularity.

Article Synopsis
- Purpose of the Study
- : The research aimed to investigate the changes in retinal microvasculature and sensitivity in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) before the onset of diabetic retinopathy (DR).
- Methods and Findings
- : In total, 62 eyes from 31 T1D patients (without DR and with mild DR) and 40 eyes from 20 healthy controls were examined using OCTA for vascular parameters and microperimetry for retinal sensitivity. No significant differences in retinal measurements were found between the T1D groups but notable differences were observed when compared to healthy controls.
- Conclusions
- : The study concluded that patients with T1D, even without DR
Sofosbuvir Polymorphs Distinguished by Linearly and Circularly Polarized Raman Microscopy.

Most currently marketed pharmaceuticals are manufactured in the solid state, where the bioavailability of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can be optimized through different polymorphs, cocrystals, solvates, or salts. Efficient techniques are needed to monitor the structure of pharmaceuticals during production. Here, we explore the potential of linearly and circularly polarized Raman microscopy for distinguishing three polymorphs of sofosbuvir, an antiviral drug used to treat hepatitis C.

The production of plutonium-238 through irradiation of neptunium-237 (237Np) target materials for the use in radioisotope thermoelectric generators is paramount for continued deep space exploration. This work employs scanning electron microscopy to analyze 237Np materials coupled with a well-developed image analysis framework (Morphological Analysis for Material Attribution, or MAMA) to determine the degree of micron-scale homogeneity in the materials. This work demonstrated how the quantification of particle characteristics can validate production materials and affirm the qualitative similarities observed in micrographs.

Article Synopsis
- Liquid biopsies, especially focusing on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood, provide crucial insights into cancer spread, but current analysis is mainly limited to counting and basic marker profiling.
- A study analyzed CTCs' size, shape, and features from different cancers using advanced imaging methods, finding notable size and shape differences among at least four different cell types.
- Findings revealed that lung cancer produced the largest CTCs, while prostate and breast cancers had smaller ones, and distinct characteristics in cell shape corresponded to their epithelial or mesenchymal origins.

Aims: To investigate the fundus characteristics and macular optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) metrics in patients with myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF) and to identify the associations among myopic parameters, fundus metrics, and OCTA metrics.
Methods: The single-center case-control study included 15 patients with monocular MRNF and 15 patients without MRNF, matched for age, affected eyes' spherical equivalent error (SER), and axial length (AL) between May 2021 and December 2021. Fundus features, including the entire MRNF area (Area1), the denser MRNF area (Area2), and the shortest distance from the fovea to the MRNF border (D), along with ocular parameters, including SER, AL, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and OCTA metrics at the fovea, including choroidal (ChT) and retinal (ReT) thicknesses at the fovea, the foveal avascular zone area (FAZ), foveal avascular zone perimeter (FAZP), FAZ-circularity index (FAZ-CI), and foveal vessel density in a 300-µm wide region (FD-300), were assessed.
