This paper is dedicated to the lifetime prediction of Type II modifications (i.e., nanogratings) written in silica glass using an infrared femtosecond laser. Herein we report accelerated aging experiments of such nanogratings through the monitoring of their characteristic linear birefringence signature. Based on the master curve formalism, we demonstrate that these laser-induced nanostructures can survive for 200 hours at 1100°C. Under the reported processing conditions and after a dedicated passivation treatment, the estimated lifetime of the birefringent optical elements is beyond 10 years at 800°C with a minor erasure of 7%.

Absorption spectra of PS in the ultraviolet and infrared region.

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc

January 2025

Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics, Jilin University, Changchun 130012 China. Electronic address:

The line list is essential for accurately modeling various astrophysical phenomena, such as stellar photospheres and atmospheres of extrasolar planets. This paper introduces a new line database for the PS molecule spanning from the ultraviolet to the infrared regions, covering wavenumbers up to 45000 cm and containing over ten million transitions between 150,458 states with total angular momentum J < 160. Accurate line intensities for rotational, vibrational and electronic transitions are generated by using the general purpose variational code DUO.

Background: The human gut microbiota develops in concordance with its host over a lifetime, resulting in age-related shifts in community structure and metabolic function. Little is known about whether these changes impact the community's response to microbiome-targeted therapeutics. Providing critical information on this subject, faecal microbiomes of subjects from six age groups, spanning from infancy to 70-year-old adults (n = six per age group) were harvested.

The Contribution of Precision Nutrition Intervention in Subfertile Couples.

Nutrients

December 2024

Applied Nutrition Research Group (GENA), Nutrition Lab, Egas Moniz Center for Interdisciplinary Research (CiiEM), Egas Moniz School of Health & Science, 2829-511 Caparica, Portugal.

Background/aim: Subfertility is characterized by a decrease in reproductive efficiency, which can result in delayed pregnancy, and affects one in six individuals during their lifetime. The present narrative review aims to evaluate the contribution of precision nutrition to changes in fertility in subfertile couples.

Methods: The literature review was carried out through bibliographic research in the PubMed, Scopus, SciELO and Google Scholar databases.

Telomere Length in Neonatal Dairy Calves in Relation to Lifetime Parameters.

Animals (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Internal Medicine, Reproduction and Population Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Ghent University, Salisburylaan 133, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium.

Telomere length (TL) has gained attention as a biomarker for longevity and productivity in dairy cattle. This study explored the association between neonatal TL in Holstein calves and lifetime parameters (lifespan, milk production, and reproduction). Blood samples were collected from 210 calves (≤10d old) across four dairy farms in Flanders, Belgium.

Background: The Prostatype score (P-score) is a prognostic biomarker that integrates a three-gene (IGFBP3, F3, and VGLL3) signature derived from prostate biopsy samples, with key clinical parameters, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, Gleason grade, and tumor stage at diagnosis. The test has demonstrated superior predictive accuracy for prostate cancer outcomes compared with traditional risk categorization systems such as D'Amico. Notably, it reclassifies a higher proportion of patients into the low-risk category, making them eligible for active surveillance.
