A new supercontinuum (SC) source from high-pressure gas, liquid, and supercritical fluid CO aggregate states that covers more than two octaves (from 400 nm up to 2 μm) is successively reported by using a 200 fs pulsed pump at 1.24 μm under femtosecond filamentation. The key features of the proposed source are the highly adjustable nonlinear properties (comparable with condensed matter) of the medium. This allows an easy-to-achieve filamentation process, even at microjoule laser pulse energies, giving the ultrabright and broadband SC. The molecular vibrations significantly modify the SC spectrum; as a result, a bright peak in a 1.4-1.9 μm is generated. Its position could be finely tuned by the pressure and temperature. We report that the generation of the SC in the monofilamentation regime (unlike multifilamentation) is more stable and promising for seeded optical parametric amplifiers, and the most efficient SC generation is achieved in the liquid phase of CO.

Diabetes significantly increases the risk of serious health issues, including prolonged skin inflammation and delayed wound healing, owing to inferior glucose control and suppression of the immune system. Although traditional hydrogen (H2) therapy is slightly effective, its ability to tailor the release of H2 on the skin is limited. Accordingly, this study proposed a novel strategy for electrocatalytic H2 release under neutral conditions to promote wound healing in diabetic mice and rabbit.

Object pose estimation is essential for computer vision applications such as quality inspection, robotic bin picking, and warehouse logistics. However, this task often requires expensive equipment such as 3D cameras or Lidar sensors, as well as significant computational resources. Many state-of-the-art methods for 6D pose estimation depend on deep neural networks, which are computationally demanding and require GPUs for real-time performance.

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of BiPAP Pressure Settings on Airway Biomechanics Using a CT-Based Respiratory Tract Model.

Respir Physiol Neurobiol

January 2025

School of Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Technology Sydney, Sydney, NSW 2007, Australia. Electronic address:

Central and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (CSA and OSA), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome (OHS) disrupt breathing patterns, posing significant health risks and reducing the quality of life. Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) therapy offers adjustable inhalation and exhalation pressures, potentially enhancing treatment adaptability for the above diseases. This is the first-ever study that employs Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to examine the biomechanical impacts of BiPAP under four settings: Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP)/Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) of 12/8, 16/6, and 18/8 cmHO, compared to a without-BiPAP scenario of zero-gauge pressure.
