The paper presents the design and implementation of an electromagnetic field monitoring sensor for the measurement of the Terrestrial Truncked Radio (TETRA) signals using low-cost software defined radio (SDR) platforms. The sensor includes: an SDR platform, a Global Positioning System (GPS) module and a hardware control module. Several SDR platforms having different resolutions of the analog-digital converters were tested in the first phase. The control module was implemented in two variants: a fixed one, using a laptop, and a mobile one, using a Raspberry Pi. The tests demonstrate the following achieved performances: instantaneous acquisition band of 5.12 MHz; dynamic range of the input signal level of (-100 to -30) dBm; frequency resolution of 2.5 kHz; portability and flexibility for use in outdoor environments. The sensor allows complete reporting through amplitude-time-frequency-location descriptors, and in the case of the mobile version, the system performs correctly even at a maximum speed of displacement of 120 km/h. The price of the mobile sensor system variant is approximately EUR 320.

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered the adoption of new technologies to reduce the need for in-person physical therapy (PT). This study evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PT utilization and outcomes of patients prescribed a smartphone-based care management platform (sbCMP) for self-directed rehabilitation (SDR). A secondary analysis of data collected in a multicenter, prospective cohort trial investigating a mobile platform to deliver SDR after arthroplasty was performed.

This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of real-time radar classification using software-defined radio (SDR) platforms. The transition from analog to digital technologies, facilitated by SDR, has revolutionized radio systems, offering unprecedented flexibility and reconfigurability through software-based operations. This advancement complements the role of radar signal parameters, encapsulated in the pulse description words (PDWs), which play a pivotal role in electronic support measure (ESM) systems, enabling the detection and classification of threat radars.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have created a new method to improve the efficiency of DNA strand displacement reactions (SDRs) by using a combination of toehold initiators, strand towing, and click chemistry.
- This innovative approach significantly speeds up the reaction and results in a six-fold increase in displacement rate compared to traditional methods.
- The technique has been successfully integrated into a sensitive biosensing platform for detecting cancer-related miRNA-21, achieving a remarkably low detection limit, which could advance applications in medical diagnostics and DNA technology.

Therapeutic development for skeletal muscle diseases is challenged by a lack of ex vivo models that recapitulate human muscle physiology. Here, we engineered 3D human skeletal muscle tissue in the Biowire II platform that could be maintained and electrically stimulated long-term. Increasing differentiation time enhanced myotube formation, modulated myogenic gene expression, and increased twitch and tetanic forces.
