Narrow linewidth and high intensity of the fluorescence spectra are two important elements to improve the accuracy and efficiency of related practical measurements, but so far they have not been achievable simultaneously. We propose a new approach to sharpen the linewidth and to heighten the intensity simultaneously. Rather than double coherent mechanisms, it uses the spontaneous emission of inverted atoms in a cavity below the threshold as a resource for feedback control. The spontaneous feedback is simpler in principle and easier to realize technologically, and represents a kind of new way of controlling spontaneous emission.

Self-regulating hydrogels represent the next generation in the development of soft materials with active, adaptive, autonomous, and intelligent behavior inspired by sophisticated biological systems. Nature provides exemplary demonstrations of such self-regulating behaviors, including muscle tissue's precise biochemical and mechanical feedback mechanisms, and coordinated cellular chemotaxis driven by dynamic biochemical signaling. Building upon these natural examples, self-regulating hydrogels are capable of spontaneously modulating their structural and functional states through integrated negative feedback loops.

Objective: This study examines how individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) make decisions regarding their self-management (SM) in the first six months after initial rehabilitation. Specifically, it explores the decision-making styles and the factors that influence their choices.
Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 32 individuals with SCI at three- and six-months post-discharge, resulting in 64 interviews.

Supportive robots that can be deployed in our homes will need to be understandable, operable, and teachable by non-expert users. This calls for an intuitive Human-Robot Interaction approach that is also safe and sustainable in the long term. Still, few studies have looked at interactive task learning in repeated, unscripted interactions within loosely supervised settings.

Background: The global increase in caesarean section (CS) rates raises concerns about maternal and neonatal outcomes. Italy, with one of the highest CS rates in Europe, especially in the Calabria Region, faces challenges in reducing this trend. The Calabria Region has joined the "Easy-Net" Network Program (NET-2016-02364191) for the evaluation of audit & feedback (A&F) interventions to reduce CS rate.

This study employed a simulation approach to model oxygen delivery in spontaneously breathing patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Morozoff Model, originally designed for mechanically ventilated patients with a fixed fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2), was adapted to incorporate the relationship between oxygen flow delivered through nasal cannula and FIO2, along with COPD-specific pathophysiological parameters. The effectiveness of constant and variable oxygen flow delivery was evaluated using a closed-loop control system with a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller.
