We demonstrate a hybrid distributed acoustic and temperature sensor (DATS) using a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) distributed feedback (DFB) laser, a single-mode optical fiber, and a common receiver block. We show that the spectral and frequency noise characteristics of the laser, combined with a suitable modulation scheme, ensure the inter-pulse incoherence and intra-pulse coherence conditions required for exploiting the fast denoising benefits of cyclic Simplex pulse coding in the hybrid measurement. The proposed technique enables simultaneous, distributed measurement of vibrations and temperature, with key industrial applications in structural health monitoring and industrial process control systems. The sensor is able to clearly identify a 500 Hz vibration at 5 km distance along a standard single-mode fiber and simultaneously measure the temperature profile along the same fiber with a temperature resolution of less than 0.5°C with 5 m spatial resolution.

Chronic insomnia is one of the most common health problems among veterans and can significantly impact health, function, and quality of life. Brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI), an adaptation of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), was developed to help increase access to care outside of specialty settings. However, training providers alone is rarely sufficient, and implementation strategies are needed for successful uptake, adoption, and sustainable delivery of care.

Background: Understanding the HPV genotype distribution in invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is essential for vaccine optimization. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of HPV genotypes in ICC tissues from patients in western China, with the aim of informing regional vaccine policy and prevention strategies.
Methods: DNA was extracted from 1,908 paraffin-embedded ICC samples, and 23 HPV genotypes were detected via PCR and reverse dot hybridization gene chip assays.

Ferritin-based hybrids are large 24-subunit macromolecules of megadalton scale have prospective applications ranging from drug delivery to recombinant vaccines, however, their rational design is challenging. Here, we architectured hybrids based on ferritin subunits from Helicobacter pylori and ones fused with a homolog of the Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier protein. We firstly revealed the stochastic nature of bacterial ferritin-based hybrids self-assembly by observing a sequential range of stoichiometries at totally different sample preparation procedures: coexpression in Escherichia coli cells and pH-dependent dis/reassembly.

Low-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) containing chiral organic ligands have recently emerged as promising candidates for circularly polarized light (CPL) detection, which can distinguish left- and right-handed CPL directly. However, the increase in responsivity and realization of self-powered CPL photodetector remain a challenge. Meanwhile, there is a trade-off between the photocurrent responsivity and the ability to differentially absorb CPL in detectors based on these low-dimensional perovskites.
