We report on an interval-locked dual-frequency phase-sensitive optical frequency-domain reflectometry relying on a common-reference optical phase-locked loop. With a shared unbalanced interferometry, this design allows for synchronizing the frequency drift of two lasers, leading to a steadily stabilized dual frequency with an arbitrary interval. Equivalently to a longer synthetic wavelength, their phase difference is utilized to demodulate the ambient changes of interest with an enhanced dynamic range and long-term stability. With a stabilized interval of 1 THz, it allows for an enhancement in a strain measurement range of up to 193-fold in theory. Demonstration in terms of distributed strain sensing covering a distance of 500 m with a 10 cm spatial resolution has been verified, showing a significant extension in the achievable strain dynamic range with a preserved sensitivity over 1 h.

The rising resistance to fluoroquinolones in Typhimurium poses a significant global health challenge. This computational research addresses the pressing need for new therapeutic drugs by utilizing various computational tools to identify potential natural compounds that can inhibit the triple mutant DNA gyrase subunit A enzyme, which is crucial in fluoroquinolone resistance. Initially, the three-dimensional structure of the wild-type DNA gyrase A protein was modeled using homology modeling, and followed by mutagenesis to create the clinically relevant triple mutant (SER83PHE, ASP87GLY, ALA119SER) DNA gyrase A protein structure.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid (MRF) dampers, serving as fail-safe semi-active devices, exhibit nonlinear hysteresis characteristics, emphasizing the necessity for accurate modeling to formulate effective control strategies in smart systems. This paper introduces a novel stop operator-based Prandtl-Ishlinskii (PI) model, featuring a reduced parameter set (seven), designed to estimate the nonlinear hysteresis properties of a large-scale bypass MRF damper with variable stiffness capabilities under varying applied current. With only seven parameters, the model realizes current, displacement, and rate dependencies.

Background: Neuromodulation has been shown to increase the efficacy of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. However, despite its ability to influence the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the exact mechanism of action remains unclear. The activity of the ANS via the intracardiac nervous system (ICNS) can be inferred from heart rate variability (HRV).
