Article Abstract

A high performance hollow fiber (HF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor utilizing one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) is proposed. The performance of the designed sensor is analyzed theoretically with respect to the center wavelength and the bilayer period. Because the light transmitted in the sensor mostly have large incident angles, the center wavelength of the 1DPC should shift to longer wavelength to ensure the band gap covers the spectrum range of the incident light. The sensor exhibits better performance when the detection spectral range is located in the band gap of 1DPC for incident angle larger than 80°. Compared to conventional HF SPR sensor, the figure of merit (FOM) of the proposed sensor is three to four times higher while the sensitivity is comparable. Moreover, within the limited spectrum range of 400 to 800nm, the proposed sensor have much wider refractive index (RI) detection range and can detect sensed medium with low RI very close to the supporting tube.

Incorporating atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials with optical fibers expands their potential for optoelectronic applications. Recent advancements in chemical vapor deposition have enabled the batch production of these hybrid fibers, paving the way for practical implementation. However, their functionality remains constrained by the integration of a single 2D material, restricting their versatile performance.

Mercury(II) ions (Hg) are one of the most common and highly toxic heavy metal ions, which can contaminate the environment and damage the human health. Therefore, the precise detection of trace Hg concentration is particularly important. Herein, gold nanoparticles-enhanced silver-coated hollow fiber (HF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was developed for the highly sensitive detection of Hg ions.

A novel ternary synergistic photoelectrochemical (PEC) probe is presented utilizing metal-organic framework (MOF)-templated Pd/CdS@CoS nanocages for sensing chlorpyrifos (CPF) using chronoamperometry under an applied bias of - 65 mV with 465-nm LED illumination. Derived from ZIF-67 via in situ sulfidation, the hollow nanocage architecture integrated CdS nanoparticles with CoS to form a direct Z-scheme heterojunction, while decorating Pd quantum dots (QDs) created a Schottky barrier, implementing a crucial dual charge-transfer enhancement strategy. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations confirmed a 0.

Background: Outside of classic endemic areas, histoplasmosis has gained attention due to an increased incidence in immunocompetent travellers, attributable to changes in behaviours during travel.

Methods: A cluster of five patients who presented with acute pulmonary histoplasmosis after travelling to the Ecuadorian Amazon Region is described in this article.

Results: Five patients (four females and one male), all in their 20s, presented with acute pulmonary histoplasmosis between sixteen and twenty-three days after the potential airborne exposure after travelling to the Ecuadorian Amazon Region.

This study addresses critical technical challenges in fabricating functional pigmented skin models via 3D bioprinting through the synergistic integration of droplet-based deposition and precision motion control. A hybrid bioprinting strategy was developed to create multilayer biomimetic architectures: the dermal layer was fabricated through extrusion of gelatin methacryloyl-polyacrylamide (GelMA-PAM) composites, while the epidermal layer incorporated precisely patterned melanocyte-laden GelMA-PAM arrays deposited via microvalve technology, subsequently solidified and populated with keratinocytes. To enhance printing reliability, a fractional-order proportional-integral control system optimized through particle swarm optimization (PSO-FOPI) was implemented, significantly improving motor speed regulation and positioning accuracy.
