Objective: To evaluate the experiences of families with very young children aged 1 to 7 years (inclusive) with type 1 diabetes using day-and-night hybrid closed-loop insulin delivery.
Methods: Parents/caregivers of 20 children aged 1 to 7 years with type 1 diabetes completed a closed-loop experience survey following two 3-week periods of unrestricted day-and-night hybrid closed-loop insulin therapy using Cambridge FlorenceM system at home. Benefits, limitations, and improvements of closed-loop technology were explored.
Results: Responders reported reduced burden of diabetes management, less time spent managing diabetes, and improved quality of sleep with closed-loop. Ninety percent of the responders felt less worried about their child's glucose control using closed-loop. Size of study devices, battery performance and connectivity issues were identified as areas for improvement. Parents/caregivers wished for more options to input information to the system such as temporary glucose targets.
Conclusions: Parents/caregivers of very young children reported important quality of life benefits associated with using closed-loop, supporting adoption of this technology in this population.

Solar energy interfacial evaporation represents a promising and sustainable approach with considerable potential for seawater desalination and wastewater treatment. Nonetheless, creating durable evaporators for continuous operation presents a challenge. Motivated by natural self-healing mechanisms, this study developed a novel 3D hybrid aero-hydrogel, which exhibited a self-healing efficiency of 89.

This work presents a numerical approach based on the Weather Research and Forecasting software that enables continuous forecast of the refractive index structure parameter, 2, vertical profiles. Two different 2 models are presented and compared.

The intergeniculate leaflet and ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (IGL/VLG) are subcortical structures involved in entrainment of the brain's circadian system to photic and non-photic (e.g. metabolic and arousal) cues.

The lidar obtained two periods of continuous day-and-night measurements for a week. A hybrid retrieval method for the optical properties and chllorophyll-a concentration vertical structure of seawater using lidar data was developed.

Based on the lidar data that were obtained by continuous day-and-night measurements over a two-week period, a hybrid retrieval method to determine the vertical structure of the seawater chlorophyll-a concentrations using lidar data was proposed. We compared the data obtained from the lidar retrievals with the ocean color data and studied the spatial variations and hourly diurnal variations in the subsurface chlorophyll-a maximum layer (SCML).
