Shear mode ultrasonic waves are in high demand for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications owing to their nondispersive characteristics, singular mode, and minimal energy loss, especially in harsh environments. However, the generation and detection of a pure shear wave using conventional piezoelectric materials present substantial challenges because of their complex piezoelectric response, involving multiple modes. Herein, we introduce a high-quality piezoelectric crystal BiSiO (BSO), exhibiting a robust piezoelectric response ( = 45.

Precision medicine in less-defined subtype diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains a challenge due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease. Programmed cell death (PCD) pathways are crucial in the advancement of lymphoma and serve as significant prognostic markers for individuals afflicted with lymphoid cancers. To identify robust prognostic biomarkers that can guide personalized management for less-defined subtype DLBCL patients, we integrated multi-omics data derived from 339 standard R-CHOP-treated patients diagnosed with less-defined subtype DLBCL from three independent cohorts.

Nowadays, photoplethysmograph (PPG) technology is being used more often in smart devices and mobile phones due to advancements in information and communication technology in the health field, particularly in monitoring cardiac activities. Developing generative models to generate synthetic PPG signals requires overcoming challenges like data diversity and limited data available for training deep learning models. This paper proposes a generative model by adopting a genetic programming (GP) approach to generate increasingly diversified and accurate data using an initial PPG signal sample.
