Interferometric techniques are widely used for interrogation of various optical sensors. Techniques utilizing harmonic auxiliary phase modulation are of special interest from a practical point of view, as they do not require a large bandwidth and dynamic range of a phase modulator, yet are capable of accurately demodulating target phase signals when jointed with proper demodulation algorithms. The current paper presents a universal theoretical apparatus aimed at estimating the influence of the noise of an interference signal on noise of the demodulated phase. Two demodulation algorithms developed in our previously published paper [Appl. Opt.56, 7960 (2017)APOPAI0003-693510.1364/AO.56.007960] are analyzed in terms of their susceptibility to additive noise. By comparing the obtained results with the Cramer-Rao bound, optimal conditions for these algorithms are found.

Difficult-to-heal wounds management accounts for about 4% of healthcare costs, highlighting the need for innovative solutions. Extracellular signals drive cell proliferation during tissue regeneration, while epigenetic mechanisms regulate stem cell homeostasis, differentiation, and skin repair. Exploring epigenetic regulation in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) holds promise for improving skin injury treatments.

Evolutionary pressures adapted insect chemosensation to the respective insect's physiological needs and tasks in their ecological niches. Solitary nocturnal moths rely on their acute olfactory sense to find mates at night. Pheromones are detected with maximized sensitivity and high temporal resolution through mechanisms that are mostly unknown.

Nitrate pollution poses severe risks to aquatic ecosystems and human health. The electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NITRR) offers a promising environmental and economic solution for nitrate pollution treatment and nitrogen source recovery; however, it continues to experience limited efficiency in neutral electrolytes. This study explores the heterointerface activation effects of TiO/CuO heterogeneous catalysts with rutile (R-TiO) and anatase (A-TiO) phases and reveals that R-TiO is an active crystal phase with high nitrate reduction performance.

Topology is being widely adopted to understand and to categorize quantum matter in modern physics. The nexus of topology orders, which engenders distinct quantum phases with benefits to both fundamental research and practical applications for future quantum devices, can be driven by topological phase transition through modulating intrinsic or extrinsic ordering parameters. The conjoined topology, however, is still elusive in experiments due to the lack of suitable material platforms.
