A pivotal study has pinpointed a gene module crucial for enhancing walnut trees' resistance to anthracnose, a widespread fungal disease threatening the walnut industry.
Cardiac physicians and investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai will share new research and clinical insights at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in London Aug. 30 through Sept. 2.
Michigan State University researchers contributed to a recent amphibian-focused study that shed light on the ecological importance of red-backed salamanders.
Every year, Pediatric Allergy and Immunology specialists at UT Southwestern and Children's Health Dallas field questions from parents who are worried about whether their older kids will be exposed to allergens or whether younger students will make good choices about swapping foods and snacks at school. It takes a community to protect kids with food allergies.
The introduction of micropatterns is an effective strategy in enhancing the sensitivity of capacitive pressure sensors. Towards this goal, scientist in China developed a novel approach for fabricating random conical array (RCA) microstructures based on laser speckle grayscale lithography.
In a machine learning paper recently published in the journal npj Computational Materials, a team of researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Brown University have introduced a universal way to accelerate virtually any kind of simulation.
The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) proudly announces Dr. Shawn J. Bird as the 2024 Jun Kimura Outstanding Educator Award recipient for his numerous NM and EDX-related contributions.
Comprehensive Care Services (CCS), in partnership with ECLS Virtual Advisors (EVA) and Orrum Clinical Analytics, is proud to introduce ECLS 360: a cutting-edge initiative poised to redefine extracorporeal care.
A new study finds that the extent to which U.S. adults support newly appointed justices to the Supreme Court strongly influences the extent to which they support the high court as an institution.
Researchers in China have developed a dual-path snapshot compressive microscopy (DP-SCM) system that enables high-speed, high-resolution, and large field-of-view imaging for real-time monitoring of ultrafast laser material processing.
Miniaturized fiber-optic magnetic field sensors have attracted intensive interests due to the superiorities of anti-electromagnetic interference and compactness. Scientist in China developed an ultracompact multicore fiber (MCF) tip probes for magnetic field and temperature discriminative sensing. The size of the whole sensing probes does not exceed the inherent outer diameter of the MCF, which means a significant reduction in the size of multi-parameter sensor. The technique will open new avenues towards the realization of an all-fiber miniaturized multi-parameter sensor.
Mode division multiplexing technology is regarded as a promising solution to solve the capacity crunch of the standard single-mode fiber transmission system. However, the differential mode gain arising in the few-mode fiber transmission system would increase the complexity of the received signal processing.
Depth measurement and three-dimensional (3D) imaging under complex reflection and transmission conditions are challenging and even impossible for traditional structured light techniques, owing to the precondition of point-to-point triangulation. Qican Zhang and Zhoujie Wu from China’s Sichuan University and their colleagues now report a multi-scale parallel single-pixel imaging method that efficiently separates and utilizes different illumination and reflection components for dynamic depth measurement on multi-type surfaces and 3D imaging through complex transmission media, such as volumetric scattering media and semitransparent surface. The team demonstrated its effectiveness and results are promising for 3D imaging and sensing applications in advanced manufacturing, autonomous driving, and biomedical imaging.
A cutting-edge study has unveiled the sophisticated methods pathogens use to weaken plant defenses. It shows how a pathogen's effector protein targets the chloroplast protein StFC-II, increasing its levels in chloroplasts and reducing the plant's ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). This manipulation significantly compromises the plant's immune response, offering new insights into potential strategies for enhancing plant resistance to infections.
When hospitals replace registered nurses (RNs) with licensed practical nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel, patients are more likely to die, experience readmissions, and have longer hospital stays, and Medicare must bear millions of dollars annually in avoidable costs. Moreover, there is no business case for this practice—hospitals actually experience a negative return on investment.
JMIR Publications, a leading publisher in digital health research, announces the launch of JMIR XR and Spatial Computing, a cutting-edge journal dedicated to exploring the transformative potential of extended reality (XR) and spatial computing technologies in clinical practice.
