A tunable dual-frequency fiber laser is a crucial in a precision measurement system, significantly influencing measurement accuracy and cost. Consequently, a low beating frequency is preferred in many applications, such as coherence measurement. This paper demonstrates a novel, to our knowledge, dual-frequency, erbium-doped fiber laser, utilizing the Vernier effect and dual phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings (PS-FBGs), with a beating frequency of 300 MHz. By adjusting the axial strain applied to the PS-FBG, the beating frequency can be tuned up to 1200 MHz. Additionally, altering the cavity length can reduce the beating frequency to 144 MHz.

Background: Microwave Doppler sensors, capable of detecting minute physiological movements, enable the measurement of biometric information, such as walking patterns, heart rate, and respiration. Unlike fingerprint and facial recognition systems, they offer authentication without physical contact or privacy concerns. This study focuses on non-contact seismocardiography using microwave Doppler sensors and aims to apply this technology for biometric authentication.

While many European countries have made significant progress in reducing incidence and mortality, Romania continues to report the highest rates within the European Union. This narrative review synthesized data from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar to evaluate cervical cancer screening policies across Europe, with a particular focus on Romania.

Radial spokes, RS1, RS2, and RS3, are T-shaped, multiprotein complexes that transmit regulatory signals from the central apparatus to outer doublet complexes, including dynein arms. Radial spokes, especially RS3, differ in their morphology, protein composition, and RS base-docked IDAs. Spokes' defects alter cilia beating frequency, waveform, and amplitude, leading, in humans, to primary ciliary dyskinesia and male infertility.

The enjoyment of music can be severely disrupted when instruments or voices are out of tune with each other. Both hearing loss and aging may degrade pitch perception, potentially affecting the ability to detect mistuning. For younger listeners with normal hearing, mistuning perception in music relies on both beats (amplitude fluctuations between closely spaced frequency components) and inharmonicity (non-integer frequency relationships between components from different sources).

Importance: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation aims to eliminate all AF triggers. Non-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers are observed in up to 10% of patients referred for a first AF ablation procedure. However, there are limited data on sex-specific differences in non-PV triggers.
