The Advanced Photon Source (APS) has been upgraded with a multi-bend achromat lattice, achieving significantly reduced electron beam emittance and enhanced X-ray coherence. Precise characterization of these properties is essential for optimizing beamline performance and enabling new experiments that take full advantage of the upgraded source. We report on measurements of source size and transverse coherence properties using grating interferometry at two beamlines: the APS 3-ID-B undulator beamline and the 1-BM-B bending magnet beamline. The results confirm the world-record horizontal emittance of the upgraded APS below 30 pm rad and validate the theoretical design parameters. We further investigate the impact of optical aberrations and mechanical vibrations at the 12-ID-C beamline on coherence preservation. These measurements establish a benchmark for future beamline enhancements and demonstrate the effectiveness of grating interferometry for high-precision beam characterization. Our findings provide critical insights into synchrotron beam dynamics, coherence degradation mechanisms, and strategies for optimizing beamline X-ray optics at next-generation light sources.

Wheat, a significant source of protein, can also induce various wheat-related allergic reactions (WRARs). Statistical data show significant spatiotemporal and geographical variations in the prevalence of WRARs. Studies reveal that hexaploid wheat exhibits notably higher allergenicity.

Ti(CH) complexes produced by laser vaporization in a supersonic expansion are investigated with mass spectrometry, infrared laser photodissociation spectroscopy, and UV laser photodissociation. The mass distributions of the cluster ions produced are found to vary significantly with the sample rod mounting configuration in the source. For infrared spectroscopy experiments, the so-called "offset" rod mounting produces colder conditions than the "cutaway" configuration, which allows tagging the ions with one or more argon atoms for the = 1 and 2 complexes.

The ability of PAM to spatially quantify and resolve cavitation activity offers a unique opportunity to correlate the energy of cavitation phenomena with locally observed bioeffects.
Objective: We aim to develop methods of measuring and reporting spatio-temporally varying cavitation energies that are energy-preserving, device-independent, and adequately normalized to the volume of tissue being affected by the reported cavitation activity.

This study examined the effects of vibratory stimulation on swallowing-related muscle strength in patients with dysphagia due to stroke, using three types of stimulators and a systematic exercise program. This study was conducted in two stages. In Experiment 1, we examined the effects of three types of vibratory stimulation on the pressure of the tongue and lips (N = 23).

Objective: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) leads to high rates of knee post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA). Physical activity may mitigate PTOA risk but levels after ACLR have not been extensively studied. We aimed to review self-reported and device-measured physical activity levels in individuals with ACLR and compare them with international guidelines, and with uninjured controls.
