Trade-Offs Between Hydraulic Efficiency and Safety in Cotton (<i>Gossypium hirsutum</i> L.) Stems Under Elevated CO₂ and Salt Stress by Qing Zhao, Jinliang Chen, Jian Kang, Shaozhong Kang

“…Specifically, eS significantly reduced stem hydraulic conductivity under aC conditions and decreased vessel diameter but increased the proportion of small-diameter vessels and enhanced implosion resistance ((t/b)²), which strengthened the xylem’s resistance to salt-induced embolism. eC altered the response pattern of xylem hydraulic conductivity and embolism resistance to salt stress, with increased vessel diameter enhancing hydraulic conductivity but reducing xylem resistance to embolism. …”

Flexible sensors for food monitoring. Part I: Principle by D. Luo, M. A. Nikitina, X. Xiao

“…In addition, this review elaborates on the transduction mechanisms of several typical transducers, with a focus on the physics behind, including the modulation of doping level, Schottky barrier, and interfacial layer that typically lead to changes in conductivity, work function, and permittivity. We also highlight the benefits, technical challenges with corresponding solutions of current flexible sensors, and discuss potential strategies to overcome limitations in energy consumption, quantify the trade-offs in maintaining quality and marketability, optimize wireless communication, and explore new sensing patterns.…”

A 2:1 atrioventricular block in an adult patient with a Fontan circulation: from transesophageal pacing to echocardiographic guidance of epicardial pacemaker lead placement by Jeff M. Smit, Madelien V. Regeer, Adrianus P. Wijnmaalen, Monique R.M. Jongbloed, Mark G. Hazekamp, Anastasia D. Egorova

“…Transthoracic echocardiography was performed postoperatively to assess the effects of sRV pacing on ventricular (dys)synchrony, systolic function and estimated cardiac output. These parameters remained unchanged during sRV pacing, compared to intrinsic conduction, an important finding in light of preserving sRV function. …”
