In this paper, the effects of ultrasound with different frequency modes on the sprouting rate, sprouting vigor, metabolism-related enzyme activity and late nutrient accumulation in soybean were investigated, and the mechanism of dual-frequency ultrasound promoting bean sprout development was explored. The results showed that, compared with control, the sprouting time was shortened by 24 h after dual-frequency ultrasound treatment (20/60 kHz), and the longest shoot was 7.82 cm at 96 h. Meanwhile, ultrasonic treatment significantly enhanced the activities of protease, amylase, lipase and peroxidase (p < 0.05), particularly the phenylalanine ammonia-lyase increased by 20.50%, which not only accelerated the seed metabolism, but also led to the accumulation of phenolics (p < 0.05), as well as more potent antioxidant activity at later stages of sprouting. In addition, the seed coat exhibited remarkable cracks and holes after ultrasonication, resulting in accelerated water absorption. Moreover, the immobilized water in seeds increased significantly, which was beneficial to seed metabolism and later sprouting. These findings confirmed that dual-frequency ultrasound pretreatment has a great potential to be used for seed sprouting and promoting the accumulation of nutrients in bean sprouts by accelerating water absorption and increasing enzyme activity.

Ultrasonic reactors, widely applied in process intensification, face limitations in their industrial application due to a lack of theoretical support for their structural design and optimization, particularly concerning the uniformity of the cavitation zone. Addressing this gap, our study introduces a novel approach to design a multi-frequency octagonal ultrasonic reactor of capacity 9.5 L through numerical simulation and spectrum analysis.

Objectives: Earlier, quickly alternating dual-frequency ultrasound waves (LDM technology) were successfully applied for the treatment of different inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea and acne. In this retrospective pragmatic two-center clinical study, we applied the triple-frequency LDM (TF-LDM) technology with frequencies of 1/3/10 and 3/10/19 MHz for the treatment of mild-to-severe acne skin to assess the effectivity and sustainability of the treatment outcomes.
Methods: Twenty-two patients with mild-to-severe acne were included in this study: 11 patients were treated with TF-LDM (1/3/10 MHz), and other 11 patients-with TF-LDM (3/10/19 MHz).
Lamb wave imaging via dual-frequency fusion for grating lobe effect compensation.

School of Information Science and Technology, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China.
In Lamb wave imaging based on a phased array, higher frequencies narrowband excitation pulses enable more precise damage detection and localization. However, due to the size constraints of individual transducer elements, the spacing between array elements may exceed half the wavelength of the excitation signal. This can lead to a grating lobe effect.

Article Synopsis
- Crayfish has become a popular food trend in China, with increasing processed product output, prompting a study on the effects of multi-frequency power ultrasound (MFPU) pretreatment on its protein quality.
- The study found that MFPU pretreatment significantly increased the enzymatic hydrolysis of crayfish protein, enhancing the degree of hydrolysis from 23.89% to 40.78% with a specific dual-frequency setting.
- Additionally, the pretreatment altered the protein structure, promoting flavor enhancement during the Maillard reaction, indicating that MFPU is a beneficial technique for improving crayfish protein quality and taste.
