Article Abstract

A high-sensitivity hydraulic pressure sensor is proposed, which consists of a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) filled with a polymer film of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The FPI structure is fabricated by splicing a section of hollow core fiber (HCF) to the end-face of a lead-in single mode fiber (SMF). Then, the PDMS is filled into the HCF which acts as a light reflector and a diaphragm to detect external pressure variation. As a result, the length of the FPI cavity and the thickness of the PDMS are 137.8 µm and 33.8 µm, respectively. Experimental results indicate that the sensor's wavelength exhibits a linear response to the hydraulic pressure, which function is described as y = -7.35 × 10x + 1536.395. Here, x and y represent the hydraulic pressure and the wavelength, respectively. The pressure sensitivity is up to -7.35 nm/kPa. Besides, a temperature compensation method based on a fiber Bragg grating is proposed to eliminate the influence of temperature. Experiments show that the scheme can effectively eliminate the influence of temperature and achieve accurate measurement of hydraulic pressure.

Background: The shape of the continuous wave Doppler (CWD) envelope in functional tricuspid valve regurgitation (fTR) results from the dynamic interplay between flow, pressure gradient and impedance. Although the v-wave cut-off shape in fTR is a well-recognized feature of severe TR, the complete spectrum of TR CWD shapes across the different fTR severity ranges has not been thoroughly explored, which is the scope of the present study.

Methods: In 245 patients with fTR, TR was graded with transthoracic echocardiography using the corrected proximal isovelocity surface area method and CWD shapes were scored, both qualitatively (using visual scoring into parabolic, triangular or v-wave cut-off categories) and quantitatively using a novel Vmax/Vmean parameter and time-to-peak velocity corrected for TR duration (TTP/TRD).

To cope with heat and water stress, evergreen and deciduous species from hot and arid deserts should adjust their stomatal conductance ( ) and leaf water potential (Ψ) regulation in response to changes in soil water availability, high temperatures, and vapour pressure deficits (VPDs). To test whether phenology induces changes in -Ψ coordination, we tested for associations between 14 leaf traits involved in leaf economics, hydraulics, and stomatal regulation, including minimum seasonal water potential (Ψ) and maximum ( ), turgor loss point (Ψ), osmotic potential (Ψ), leaf area (LA), and specific leaf area (SLA), across 12 tree species from the Sonoran Desert with contrasting phenology. We found that foliar phenology, leaf hydraulics, and leaf economic traits are coordinated across species and organized along the axis of physiological efficiency and safety in response to temperature and VPD.

Given the pressures on water resources caused by global climate change and human activities, the assessment and management of groundwater resources in mountainous region have become increasingly important. The central mountainous region of Taiwan, as one of the significant sources of groundwater recharge, plays a critical role in overall water resource management due to its groundwater storage capacity and recharge capability. Addressing the challenges of limited survey and observational data in mountainous groundwater assessments, this study uses the lumped parameter groundwater model AquiMod to analyze long-term groundwater level changes at 23 monitoring stations in mountainous areas of central Taiwan.

L. is considered a very resilient species to water deficits. Climate change, characterized by warmer summers and drier winters, may challenge even this adaptable species, potentially making once-suitable areas less viable for cultivation.
