The authors experimentally demonstrate the operation of a lasing phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (Φ-OTDR) based on random feedback from a sensing fiber. Here, the full output of the laser provides the sensing signal, in contrast to the small backscattered signal measured in a conventional OTDR. In this proof-of-principle demonstration, the laser operates as a distributed vibration sensor with signal-to-noise ratio of 23-dB and 1.37-m spatial resolution.

The world is now facing a water scarcity crisis due to waste, pollution, and uneven distribution of freshwater resources, which are limited. Thus, the creation of innovative, economical, and effective methods for purifying water is crucial. Here, the photo-assisted degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye under visible light and UV was achieved by using RGO photocatalyst loaded with ZnCuFeO in three different loaded 10%, 20%, and 30% called MRGO 10, MRGO 20, and MRGO 30.

Research on the evolutionary behavior of the particle breakage processes in coarse-grained soil under the action of train load is of practical significance for subgrade construction and maintenance. However, existing studies have not addressed the prediction of particle size distribution evolution. In this paper, the MTS loading system is used to simulate the dynamic train load effect on coarse-grained soil fillers.

Land resources are vital for urban development and construction. Abandoned industrial areas often contain large amounts of heavy metals from past industrial activities. Accurate knowledge of soil pollutant content and spatial distribution is crucial to avoid health risks and achieve sustainable soil use.

In order to reduce turnout rail wear, the paper establishes a coupled dynamics model and a turnout rail wear model that consider the true profile of the turnout rail, the vehicle's continuous traction force while passing, and the operational resistance. Comparative analysis of various models for predicting turnout rail wear indicates that the wear energy model is better suited for this purpose. The ideal profile update step for the turnout rail is 0.

Interventional embolization has been widely used as a clinical cancer therapy, which deactivates the tumors by occluding their blood supply vessels. However, conventional methods lack active control over the embolic particles, thus having a limited selectivity of millimeter-scale vessels and the issue of missing embolization. Here, we propose an ultrasound-based method for embolic particle control in submillimeter vessels.
