A method for highly efficient fourth harmonic generation (FHG) retaining spatiotemporal intensity distribution of broadband chirped laser pulses is proposed. It is based on the use of pulses with linear frequency chirps of equal absolute magnitudes and opposite signs at the oo-e type noncollinear second harmonic generation. Fourth harmonic generation can by obtained by the classical method, since the second harmonic pulse is narrowband and spectrally limited. A possibility to retain the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the field at FHG with a conversion efficiency ∼60 is demonstrated by the numerical simulation of 3D pulses with a quasi-ellipsoidal intensity distribution.

Acentric crystalline materials are the cornerstone of numerous cutting-edge technologies and have been highly sought-after, but they are difficult to construct controllably. Herein, by introducing a new p-block element to break the symmetrical environment of the d transition metal in the centric matrix TiTeO, a novel acentric tellurite sulfate, namely Ti(TeO)(SO), was successfully constructed. In its structure, two types of p-block element-centered oxo-anionic groups, [TeO] and [SO], endow [TiO] with an out-of-center distortion along the local C[111] direction, which is rare in titanium oxides containing a lone-pair cation.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape in pancreatic cancer (PC) screening, diagnosis, and early detection. This emphasizes the need for targeted screening in high-risk groups, particularly those with familial predispositions and genetic mutations, such as BRCA1, BRCA2, and PALB2. This review highlights the sporadic nature of most PC cases and significant risk factors, including smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, and diabetes.

Traditional tetrahedral-based mid-to-far infrared (MFIR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals often face limitations due to the optical anisotropy constraints imposed by their highly symmetric structures. In contrast, the relatively rare trigonal pyramidal [TeS] functional unit characterized by its asymmetric structure and stereochemically active lone pair (SCALP), offers improved optical anisotropy, hyperpolarizability and a broader IR transparency range. Despite its potential, synthetic challenges have hindered the development of MFIR NLO crystals that incorporate this unit, with only one example reported to date.

Visual-language models (VLMs) excel in cross-modal reasoning by synthesizing visual and linguistic features. Recent VLMs use prompt learning for fine-tuning, allowing adaptation to various downstream tasks. TCP applies class-aware prompt tuning to improve VLMs generalization, yet its reliance on fixed text templates as prior knowledge can limit adaptability to fine-grained category distinctions.
