In this work, GeSn lateral p-i-n photodetectors (PDs) on insulator were fabricated with an active GeSn layer grown by the rapid melting growth (RMG) method. Taking advantages of the defect-free GeSn strips, GeSn PDs with 5.3 Sn content have low dark current and high responsivities, which are about 0.48, 0.47, and 0.24 A/W for wavelengths of 1550, 1630, and 2000 nm, respectively. The radio frequency of the lateral GeSn PDs was also studied and a 3 dB bandwidth of about 3.8 GHz was achieved. These results indicate that the GeSn grown by the rapid melting growth method is capable of fabricating high-performance Si-based optoelectronic devices.

Accurate and rapid segmentation of key parts of frozen tuna, along with precise pose estimation, is crucial for automated processing. However, challenges such as size differences and indistinct features of tuna parts, as well as the complexity of determining fish poses in multi-fish scenarios, hinder this process. To address these issues, this paper introduces TunaVision, a vision model based on YOLOv8 designed for automated tuna processing.

The application of spermatogonial stem cells (SSC) will be more effective and feasible following the successful cryopreservation and transfer of SSCs in livestock. Like other cells, SSCs are also sensitive to cryoinjury; hence composition of the cryomedia and freezing protocols need to be optimized. The present study aims to optimising the best freezing rates by minimising the ice crystallization and dehydration effect in order to maximize the post-thaw SSCs survivability and stemness characteristics.

Isothermal amplification-based nucleic acid detection technologies have become rapid and efficient tools for molecular diagnostics. Sequence-specific monitoring methods are crucial for isothermal amplification, as they help identify the occurrence of extended primer dimers, which can lead to false positive results. Fluorescent aptamers are promising tools for real-time monitoring of isothermal amplification but are inherently limited by thermostability.

Background: Accurate and timely diagnosis of mycobacterial infections, including complex (MTBC) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), is crucial for effective disease management.
Methods: This study evaluated the performance of the NeoPlex TB/NTM-5 Detection Kit (NeoPlex assay, Seongnam, Republic of Korea), a multiplex real-time PCR assay that incorporates melting curve analysis, compared with the line-probe assay (LPA). The NeoPlex assay could simultaneously detect and differentiate MTBC from five other NTM species: , , , , and .

(1) Background: The RoXsta system has been developed as a rapid, effective means of profiling different types of antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to examine its performance utilizing a diverse array of biological fluids including semen, blood plasma, serum, urine, saliva, follicular fluid and plant extracts. (2) Methods: The RoXsta system was used to assess the ability of different fluids to suppress free radical formation as well as scavenge a variety of toxic oxygen metabolites including free radicals and both hydrogen and organic peroxides.
