It is still challenging to realize an on-chip optical sensor that can detect humidity and temperature at the same time. In this paper, we demonstrate a silicon-based dual-polarization micro-ring resonator (MRR) with a polyvinyl-alcohol (PVA) upper-cladding, which enables the simultaneous measurement of humidity and temperature. Due to the significant polarization-dependence of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nanophotonic waveguide, the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarization modes have quite different sensitivities towards the changes of ambient relative humidity (RH) and temperature. Sensitivity, resolution, stability and cross-sensitivity are analyzed for the present dual-parameter sensor. The RH and temperature response sensitivity are measured to be 97.9 pm/%RH, 325.1 pm/%RH, 69.0 pm/°C and 30.6 pm/°C for TE and TM polarizations, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first on-chip optical sensor enabling the simultaneous measurement of RH and temperature.

Phylogenetic niche conservatism posits that species tend to retain ancestral ecological traits and distributions, which has been broadly tested for lineages originating in tropical climates but has been rarely tested for lineages that originated and diversified in temperate climates. Liverworts are thought to originate in temperate climates. Mean lineage age reflects evolutionary history of biological communities.

Sheep in Italy are exposed to heat stress (HS) for several months, increasing the risk of HS-related problems such as the decrease in growth, reproductive performance, milk quantity and quality and natural immunity. This study aimed to assess changes in hematological and biochemical parameters in dairy sheep from three different farms with varying pasture management: A (no water or shade), B (water but no shade), and C (both water and shade). From March to June, when HS risk is high, monthly blood samples (T1-T4) were collected from 20 sheep per farm (total n = 60).

Commercial SnO nanocrystals used for producing electron transporting layers (ETLs) of perovskite solar cells (PSC) are prone to aggregation at room temperature and contain many structural defects. Herein, we report that the LiOH additive can simultaneously delay the aggregation and donate the beneficial aging effect to SnO nanocrystals. The resulting SnO ETLs show the desired characteristics, including a broadened absorption range, reduced defects, improved transporting properties, and decreased work function.

Influenza forecasts could aid public health response as shown for temperate regions, but such efforts are more challenging in the tropics and subtropics due to more irregular influenza activities. Here, we built six forecast approaches for influenza in the (sub)tropics, with six model forms designed to model seasonal infection risk (i.e.

A growing body of evidence suggests that non-optimal ambient temperatures are associated with increased incidence rate and mortality of thromboembolic diseases. We aim to investigate the association between apparent temperature (AT) and coagulation, which is a central pathological link in the formation of thrombi. In this study, we conducted a time series analysis using data from 18,894 participants collected from a health check-up center in Beijing between 2014 and 2023, and validated our findings using 20,549 participants from an andrology outpatient clinic.
