In the current work, a RLS technique based on β-cyclodextrin modified gold nanoparticles was validated for phenytoin determination in the exhaled breath condensate. It relies on the complexation of β-cyclodextrins using -OH groups with amine groups of phenytoin which results in an aggregation-induced Rayleigh light scattering intensity enhancement proportional to phenytoin addition. The method shows a linear relationship with phenytoin concentration in the range of 0.005-0.6 µg.mL with a limit of detection of 0.003 µg.mL. The validated Rayleigh light scattering system is successfully used for phenytoin determination in the EBC of patients receiving phenytoin.

Recent progress in the domain of wireless communication systems has brought to light emerging trends that underscore the evolution of modern communication paradigms. Nonetheless, the performance of such systems remains constrained by persistent technical limitations, including packet loss, bandwidth scarcity, and suboptimal spectral efficiency, all of which necessitate rigorous analytical investigations. To address these constraints, the present study leverages an adaptive modulation technique tailored to enhance communication efficiency.

Two layers of dry granular particles of different density are initially superimposed in an unstable configuration, the layer of dense particles above. This layering is set in motion, numerically by tilting the gravity in discrete element method simulations with periodic boundary conditions and experimentally by opening a confinement gate at the bottom of an inclined channel. In both cases, a Rayleigh-Taylor-like instability (RTI) is rapidly observed and plumes from the lower layer of light particles emerge at the free surface.

Phasor fields transforms NLOS imaging into virtual LOS imaging by treating the relay wall as a secondary camera, which allows reconstruction of the hidden scene using a forward diffraction operator based on the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction (RSD) integral. In this work, we leverage the unitary property of the forward diffraction operator and the dual space it introduces, concepts already studied in inverse diffraction, to explain how phasor fields can be understood as an inverse diffraction method for solving the hidden object reconstruction, even though initially it might appear it is using a forward diffraction operator.

By the interference signals of the four channels for the Mach Zehnder interferometer, the interference contrast of Rayleigh Brillouin (RB) backscattering from atmospheric molecules to the laser beam is obtained. This interference contrast is related to the width of the RB backscattering spectrum, which is proportional to the average speed of irregular thermal motion of molecules.

However, previous research to design planner diffractive lenses only considers the maximum intensity in the focus area or its derivatives as the optimization function, leaving the intensity outside the focus area unconsidered. We proposed and investigated a two-dimensional (2D) physics-driven ANN method assisted by the negative Pearson correlation coefficient (NPCC) to design microlenses with varied focusing distances, which takes the entire 2D intensity distribution at the focus plane as an optimization function.
