In this paper, a novel Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag for "pick to light" applications is presented. The proposed tag architecture shows the implementation of a novel voltage limiter and a supply voltage (VDD) monitoring circuit to guarantee a correct operation between the tag and the reader for the "pick to light" application. The feasibility to power the tag with different photovoltaic cells is also analyzed, showing the influence of the illuminance level (lx), type of source light (fluorescent, LED or halogen) and type of photovoltaic cell (photodiode or solar cell) on the amount of harvested energy. Measurements show that the photodiodes present a power per unit package area for low illuminance levels (500 lx) of around 0.08 μW/mm, which is slightly higher than the measured one for a solar cell of 0.06 μW/mm. However, solar cells present a more compact design for the same absolute harvested power due to the large number of required photodiodes in parallel. Finally, an RFID tag prototype for "pick to light" applications is implemented, showing an operation range of 3.7 m in fully passive mode. This operation range can be significantly increased to 21 m when the tag is powered by a solar cell with an illuminance level as low as 100 lx and a halogen bulb as source light.

South Shaoshan Road 498#Changsha, China, 410004;
Article Synopsis
- Lithocarpus polystachyus, known as 'sweat tea,' is an important tree in China whose leaves are beneficial for diabetes treatment due to their high dihydrochalcone content.
- In January 2024, a significant disease outbreak was reported on these trees in Hunan Province, affecting about 74% of surveyed plants, with symptoms evolving from small yellow lesions to large brown patches and ultimately leaf necrosis.
- Pathogen isolation methods revealed that the fungus responsible for the disease was identified as Diaporthe sp., confirmed by examining colony characteristics and genomic DNA analysis.
Orbital Cellulitis Secondary to Dacryocystitis: A Case Series and Literature Review.

Orbital, Plastics and Lacrimal Unit, Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- This study focused on identifying risk factors and management outcomes for patients with orbital cellulitis stemming from dacryocystitis, analyzing a group of 18 patients.
- The majority of patients (56% female, mean age 62) experienced reduced visual acuity, but most showed improvement after treatment, with acute intervention helping in resolving acute cellulitis.
- Key findings suggested that recurrent dacryocystitis and the presence of dacryoliths are significant risk factors, while immunosuppression worsens prognosis; successful long-term resolution typically requires dacryocystorhinostomy.
First Report of Twig Dieback Caused by on Highbush Blueberry in the Continental United States.
Plant Dis
December 2024
Iowa State University, Horticulture, 2206 Osborne Drive, Ames, Iowa, United States, 50011;
Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is an important fruit crop for pick-your-own agritourism farms in the Midwest. Declining or diseased plants are a major concern for pick-your-own farms, as consumers prioritize healthy plants and organic practices (Norby and Retallick 2012). In August 2023, leaf spot and dieback symptoms were observed sporadically on the current year's growth throughout an organic berry agritourism farm in Eastern Iowa.

Article Synopsis
- * In studies using a mouse model lacking the NPC1 protein in immune cells, researchers found significant changes in microglial lipid profiles, increased microglial activity, and symptoms resembling NPC disease, such as lifespan reduction and motor issues.
- * Monitoring translocator protein (TSPO) levels in the blood may be useful for assessing NPC disease progression and treatment response, as shown by changes in TSPO levels following a specific therapy that appeared beneficial for patients.
High-Fidelity Pick-and-Place Transfer Printing of Colloidal Quantum Dot Pixel Arrays via a Composite Stamp.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Transfer printing can pattern emissive colloidal quantum dot (CQD) arrays with ultrahigh pixel density. However, the most used pick-and-place method has difficulty in achieving high pattern fidelity. Here, we report that the regularly used single-composite stamps cannot combine a low deformation rate and conformal contact, leading to the challenge.
