3D printed multicore fiber-tip discriminative sensor for magnetic field and temperature measurements
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Miniaturized fiber-optic magnetic field sensors have attracted intensive interests due to the superiorities of anti-electromagnetic interference and compactness. Scientist in China developed an ultracompact multicore fiber (MCF) tip probes for magnetic field and temperature discriminative sensing. The size of the whole sensing probes does not exceed the inherent outer diameter of the MCF, which means a significant reduction in the size of multi-parameter sensor. The technique will open new avenues towards the realization of an all-fiber miniaturized multi-parameter sensor.

Differential mode gain equalization via femtosecond laser micromachining induced refractive index tailoring
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Mode division multiplexing technology is regarded as a promising solution to solve the capacity crunch of the standard single-mode fiber transmission system. However, the differential mode gain arising in the few-mode fiber transmission system would increase the complexity of the received signal processing.

Beyond point-to-point triangulation: dynamic 3D imaging under global illumination
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Depth measurement and three-dimensional (3D) imaging under complex reflection and transmission conditions are challenging and even impossible for traditional structured light techniques, owing to the precondition of point-to-point triangulation. Qican Zhang and Zhoujie Wu from China’s Sichuan University and their colleagues now report a multi-scale parallel single-pixel imaging method that efficiently separates and utilizes different illumination and reflection components for dynamic depth measurement on multi-type surfaces and 3D imaging through complex transmission media, such as volumetric scattering media and semitransparent surface. The team demonstrated its effectiveness and results are promising for 3D imaging and sensing applications in advanced manufacturing, autonomous driving, and biomedical imaging.

Chloroplast manipulation: a new strategy in pathogen warfare uncovered
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A cutting-edge study has unveiled the sophisticated methods pathogens use to weaken plant defenses. It shows how a pathogen's effector protein targets the chloroplast protein StFC-II, increasing its levels in chloroplasts and reducing the plant's ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). This manipulation significantly compromises the plant's immune response, offering new insights into potential strategies for enhancing plant resistance to infections.

Substituting lower-wage staff for hospital RNs is a poor business model
Wolters Kluwer Health: Lippincott

When hospitals replace registered nurses (RNs) with licensed practical nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel, patients are more likely to die, experience readmissions, and have longer hospital stays, and Medicare must bear millions of dollars annually in avoidable costs. Moreover, there is no business case for this practice—hospitals actually experience a negative return on investment.

Rounds with Leadership: Focusing on the Outcomes of NP Practice
American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)

In September 2008, more than two dozen national nursing organizations, including AACN, joined with the Tri-Council for Nursing to commission a study on the impact that advanced practice registered nurses have on healthcare quality and patient outcomes. The need for this research was driven in part by challenges from outside the profession questioning the efficacy of nurse practitioner (NP) education and practice. Led by Dr. Robin Newhouse, who recently concluded her service on the AACN Board of Directors, the resulting systematic review of the literature published from 1990-2008 found that NP-led care was equivalent to physician-centric care and typically resulted in shorter hospital stays, increased access to care, and lower costs.
