The image of an optical point source is blurred due to light diffraction so that estimating small displacements of the point source with direct imaging demands elaborate processing on the observation data of a camera. Using quantum parameter estimation, we show that for the imaging systems with a real point spread function, any measurement basis constituted by a complete set of real-valued spatial-mode functions is optimal for estimating the displacement. For small displacements, we can concentrate the information about the value of displacement to the measurement of a few spatial modes, which can be selected in terms of the Fisher information distribution. We use digital holography with a phase-only spatial light modulator to implement two simple estimation strategies that are mainly based on the projection measurement of two spatial modes and the readout of a single pixel of a camera.

The integration of spin crossover (SCO) magnetic switching and electric polarization properties can engender intriguing correlated magnetic and electric phenomena. However, achieving substantial SCO-induced polarization change through rational molecular design remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we present a polar Fe(II) compound that exhibits substantial polarization change in response to a thermally regulated low-spin ↔ high-spin transition.

In the last decade the important role of small non-coding RNAs such as micro RNAs (miRs) in gene regulation in healthy and disease states became more and more evident. The miR-200-family of miRs has been shown to play a critical role in many diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders and could be potentially important for diagnosis and treatment. However, the size of miRs of about ~21-23nt provide challenges for their investigation.

Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the reorientation dynamics of water molecules under supercritical conditions. Our findings indicate that supercritical water consists of a fluctuating assembly of water clusters of varying sizes. The reorientational motions are characterized by large angular displacements and occur on fast time scales.

Anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDwoR) is one of the most common types temporomandibular disorders (TMD), which is often characterized by joint pain, abnormal joint sounds, and limited mouth opening. Disc repositioning has been described as an effective method to reduce joint pain and improve range of motion. Yang's arthroscopic disc repositioning and suturing surgery has been reported to be the most stable technique with 95%-98% of success rate.

Set-up errors are a problem for pre-clinical irradiators that lack imaging capabilities. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the potential set-up errors on the dose distribution for a mouse with a xenographic tumour irradiated with a standard Cs-137 cell irradiator equipped with an in-house lead collimator with 10 mm diameter apertures. The EGSnrc Monte-Carlo (MC) code was used to simulate the potential errors caused by displacements of the mouse in the irradiation setup.
