A dual-range mid-infrared carbon dioxide (CO) sensor is developed with temperature and humidity compensation functionalities. Using the same optical path, the sensor employs dual-channel signal processing circuits to achieve measurements across two detection ranges of 200-3000 parts-per-million (ppm) (low concentration range) and 8-25% (high concentration range), respectively. The developed sensor, with a compact size of 8.5 × 5.5 × 3.5 cm, shows a good linear response, with fitting goodness = 0.99942 for the low range and = 0.9993 for the high range. Under environmental conditions of 20 °C temperature and 30% relative humidity and with an averaging time of 1 s, the limits of detection are 0.15 ppm for the low range and 32.4 ppm for the high range, respectively. A temperature and humidity compensation scheme based on multiple linear regression is proposed to mitigate the impact of environmental temperature and humidity changes. The experimental results demonstrate that the relative error after compensation is reduced from 21% to 0.87%. Indoor and outdoor CO measurements are performed to validate the good characteristics of the sensor system.

In temperate regions, respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 are better transmitted in winter than in summer. Understanding how the weather is associated with SARS-CoV-2 transmissibility can enhance projections of COVID-19 incidence and improve estimation of the effectiveness of control measures. During the pandemic, transmissibility was tracked by the reproduction number .

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made pollutants widely used in industrial and consumer products, known to pose significant health risks. While their occurrence in water, soil, and food has been extensively studied, limited research has focused on ambient air, particularly in the U.S.

The Citrus Under Protective Screen is a novel production system implemented to grow citrus free of huanglongbing disease vectored by Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. Other significant pests such as mites, scales, thrips, mealybugs, and leafminers, as well as parasitoids and small predators, have been identified from Citrus Under Protective Screen and require management.

Global warming causes heat stress in livestock, impairing their health, welfare, and productivity. In bovines, chronic stress elevates cortisol levels; however, this response often goes undetected due to the lack of practical biomatrices for accurate assessment. Common biomatrices such as blood require repeated sampling that may affect measurement accuracy.

Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and robotic applications. Nevertheless, it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility, adhesion, self-healing, and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics. Herein, we report a multifunctional, anti-freezing, self-adhesive, and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CoN CNT) embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin (PVA/GLE) matrix.
