We report on the recently completed 400 TW upgrade to the Scarlet laser at The Ohio State University. Scarlet is a Ti:sapphire-based ultrashort pulse system that delivers >10 J in 30 fs pulses to a 2 μm full width at half-maximum focal spot, resulting in intensities exceeding 5×10 W/cm. The laser fires at a repetition rate of once per minute and is equipped with a suite of on-demand and on-shot diagnostics detailed here, allowing for rapid collection of experimental statistics. As part of the upgrade, the entire laser system has been redesigned to facilitate consistent, characterized high intensity data collection at high repetition rates. The design and functionality of the laser and target chambers are described along with initial data from commissioning experimental shots.

High repetition-rate dual-channel X-ray spectrometer for high-intensity laser-plasma experiments.

We describe the development and demonstration of a high-repetition-rate-capable dual-channel (DC) x-ray spectrometer designed for high-intensity laser-plasma experiments (≥1×1021 W/cm2). The spectrometer, which operates at high repetition rates, is limited only by the refresh rate of targets and the camera's frame rate. It features two channels, each equipped with a flat highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) crystal and a unique detector plane, allowing it to resolve two distinct x-ray bands: approximately 7-10 and 10-13 keV.

Background: Diode laser is one of the most captivating technologies in dental practice. In periodontics, when used at appropriate settings, it possesses the best properties for selective surgical and nonsurgical procedures such as subgingival calculus removal without a thermal change of the root surface, and also provides tissue surface sterilization. However, lasers always produce a certain amount of thermal damage to the soft tissues.

Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN), a rare disease is pathologically characterized by glomerular fibril accumulation ranging from 12 to 24 nm in diameter with negative Congo red staining. Recently, the identification of DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 9 (DNAJB9) as a highly sensitive and specific marker for FGN has revolutionized diagnosis of this disease. However, few recent studies have reported DNAJB9-negative glomerulonephritis with fibrillar deposits.

An important question is what genes govern the differentiation of plant embryos into suspensor and embryo proper regions following fertilization and division of the zygote. We compared embryo proper and suspensor transcriptomes of four plants that vary in embryo morphology within the suspensor region. We determined that genes encoding enzymes in several metabolic pathways leading to the formation of hormones, such as gibberellic acid, and other metabolites are up-regulated in giant scarlet runner bean and common bean suspensors.

Article Synopsis
- Fibrillary glomerulonephritis (FGN) can be difficult to distinguish from amyloidosis due to overlapping symptoms, but recent advancements like laser microdissection followed by mass spectrometry (LMD/MS) can aid in accurate diagnosis.
- A 75-year-old man initially diagnosed with FGN based on kidney biopsy and lab findings was later confirmed to have immunoglobulin heavy-and-light-chain amyloidosis (AHL) after LMD/MS testing revealed a positive Congo red stain.
- The case highlights the importance of using LMD/MS in atypical cases where conventional tests might lead to misdiagnosis, especially when there are unusual pathological features like thicker fibrils.
