Early and rapid diagnosis and surveillance of dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infections are essential to the control of these diseases. In this study, we evaluate the diagnostic performance of our new in-house multiplex RT-qPCR method for detecting DENV serotypes and CHIKV in an external laboratory. Methodology: The evaluation study was conducted on 200 clinical samples of suspected patients for arbovirus disease infection, collected in Centre de Recherche Biomoléculaire Pietro Annigoni (CERBA), Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Our new multiplex RT-qPCR was compared to the commercial kit, the Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya (ZDC) Real-Time PCR Assays kit (Bio-Rad, California, USA). Results and Conclusions: Among 200 samples, 21.5% (43/200) were DENV-positive by multiplex RT-qPCR, and 21.5% (43/200) were also DENV-positive by reference real-time RT-PCR. 157 (78.5%) samples tested negative for DENV by both tests (new mRT-qPCR and reference test). The sensitivity and specificity of mRT-qPCR were 100%. The DENV serotypes detected were DENV-1 60.5% (26/43) and DENV-3 39.5% (17/43). CHIKV was not detected in this study. Our new mRT-qPCR is sensitive, cost-effective, simple, and can be used in developing country laboratories.展开更多

Two 100?MHz ADC modules worked parallelly and every ADC plays out data in ping pang fashion. The design improved the system conversion rata to 200?MHz and reduced the speed of data transporting and storing to 50?MHz. The high speed HDPLD and ECL logic parts were used to control system timing and the memory address. The multi layer print board and the shield were used to decrease interference produced by the high speed circuit. The system timing was designed carefully. The interleaving/multiplexing technique could improve the system conversion rata greatly while reducing the speed of external digital interfaces greatly. The design resolved the difficulties in high speed system effectively. The experiment proved the data acquisition system is stable and accurate.展开更多

文摘We propose a mode demultiplexing hybrid(MDH) that integrates mode demultiplexing, local oscillator power splitting, and optical 90-deg mixing using multi-plane light conversion(MPLC). We demonstrate the realization of a three-mode MDH using four phase plates, one more than what is required for an MPLC-based mode demultiplexer, via numerical simulations. The performance of the three-mode MDH is comparable to that of commercial single-mode 90-deg hybrids. This multiple-functionality device enables simplification of the coherent optical front end of mode-division multiplexing receivers.

文摘Miniaturized spectrometers have been widely researched in recent years,but few studies are conducted with on-chip multimode schemes for mode-division multiplexing(MDM)systems.Here we propose an ultracompact mode-division demultiplexing spectrometer that includes branched waveguide structures and graphene-based photodetectors,which realizes simultaneously spectral dispersing and light fields detecting.In the bandwidth of 1500-1600 nm,the designed spectrometer achieves the single-mode spectral resolution of 7 nm for each mode of TE_(1)-TE_(4) by Tikhonov regularization optimization.Empowered by deep learning algorithms,the 15-nm resolution of parallel reconstruction for TE_(1)-TE_(4) is achieved by a single-shot measurement.Moreover,by stacking the multimode response in TE_(1)-TE_(4) to the single spectra,the 3-nm spectral resolution is realized.This design reveals an effective solution for on-chip MDM spectroscopy,and may find applications in multimode sensing,interconnecting and processing.

文摘Orbital angular momentum(OAM),described by an azimuthal phase term expej lθT,has unbound orthogonal states with different topological charges l.Therefore,with the explosive growth of global communication capacity,especially for short-distance optical interconnects,light-carrying OAM has proved its great potential to improve transmission capacity and spectral efficiency in the space-division multiplexing system due to its orthogonality,security,and compatibility with other techniques.Meanwhile,100-m freespace optical interconnects become an alternative solution for the“last mile”problem and provide interbuilding communication.We experimentally demonstrate a 260-m secure optical interconnect using OAM multiplexing and 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation(16-QAM)signals.We study the beam wandering,power fluctuation,channel cross talk,bit-error-rate performance,and link security.Additionally,we also investigate the link performance for 1-to-9 multicasting at the range of 260 m.Considering that the power distribution may be affected by atmospheric turbulence,we introduce an offline feedback process to make it flexibly controllable.

文摘The in-band full-duplex(IBFD)wireless system is a promising candidate for 6G and beyond,as it can double data throughput and enormously lower transmission latency by supporting simultaneous in-band transmission and reception of signals.Enabling IBFD systems requires a substantial mitigation of a transmitter(Tx)’s strong self-interference(SI)signal into the receiver(Rx)channel.However,current state-ofthe-art approaches to tackle this challenge are inefficient in terms of performance,cost,and complexity,hindering the commercialization of IBFD techniques.In this work,we devise and demonstrate an innovative approach to realize IBFD systems that exhibit superior performance with a low-cost and lesscomplex architecture in an all-passive module.Our scheme is based on meticulously combining polarization-division multiplexing(PDM)with ferromagnetic nonreciprocity to achieve ultra-high isolation between Tx and Rx channels.Such an unprecedented conception has become feasible thanks to a concurrent dual-mode circulator—a new component introduced for the first time—as a key feature of our module,and a dual-mode waveguide that transforms two orthogonally polarized waves into two orthogonal waveguide modes.In addition,we propose a unique passive tunable secondary SI cancellation(SIC)mechanism,which is embedded within the proposed module and boosts the isolation over a relatively broad bandwidth.We report,solely in the analog domain,experimental isolation levels of 50,70,and 80 dB over 340,101,and 33 MHz bandwidth at the center frequency of interest,respectively,with excellent tuning capability.Furthermore,the module is tested in two real IBFD scenarios to assess its performance in connection with Tx-to-Rx leakage and modulation error in the presence of a Tx’s strong interference signal.

文摘The use of orbital angular momentum(OAM)as an independent dimension for information encryption has garnered considerable attention.However,the multiplexing capacity of OAM is limited,and there is a need for additional dimensions to enhance storage capabilities.We propose and implement orbital angular momentum lattice(OAML)multiplexed holography.The vortex lattice(VL)beam comprises three adjustable parameters:the rotation angle of the VL,the angle between the wave normal and the z axis,which determines the VL’s dimensions,and the topological charge.Both the rotation angle and the VL’s dimensions serve as supplementary encrypted dimensions,contributing azimuthally and radially,respectively.We investigate the mode selectivity of OAML and focus on the aforementioned parameters.Through experimental validation,we demonstrate the practical feasibility of OAML multiplexed holography across multiple dimensions.This groundbreaking development reveals new possibilities for the advancement of practical information encryption systems.
文摘Introduction: Arbovirus diseases such as dengue and chikungunya threaten public health worldwide. Early and rapid diagnosis and surveillance of dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infections are essential to the control of these diseases. In this study, we evaluate the diagnostic performance of our new in-house multiplex RT-qPCR method for detecting DENV serotypes and CHIKV in an external laboratory. Methodology: The evaluation study was conducted on 200 clinical samples of suspected patients for arbovirus disease infection, collected in Centre de Recherche Biomoléculaire Pietro Annigoni (CERBA), Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Our new multiplex RT-qPCR was compared to the commercial kit, the Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya (ZDC) Real-Time PCR Assays kit (Bio-Rad, California, USA). Results and Conclusions: Among 200 samples, 21.5% (43/200) were DENV-positive by multiplex RT-qPCR, and 21.5% (43/200) were also DENV-positive by reference real-time RT-PCR. 157 (78.5%) samples tested negative for DENV by both tests (new mRT-qPCR and reference test). The sensitivity and specificity of mRT-qPCR were 100%. The DENV serotypes detected were DENV-1 60.5% (26/43) and DENV-3 39.5% (17/43). CHIKV was not detected in this study. Our new mRT-qPCR is sensitive, cost-effective, simple, and can be used in developing country laboratories.

文摘We demonstrate a bipolar graphene/F_(16)CuPc synaptic transistor(GFST)with matched p-type and n-type bipolar properties,which emulates multiplexed neurotransmission of the release of two excitatory neurotransmitters in graphene and F_(16)CuPc channels,separately.This process facilitates fast-switching plasticity by altering charge carriers in the separated channels.The complementary neural network for image recognition of Fashion-MNIST dataset was constructed using the matched relative amplitude and plasticity properties of the GFST dominated by holes or electrons to improve the weight regulation and recognition accuracy,achieving a pattern recognition accuracy of 83.23%.These results provide new insights to the construction of future neuromorphic systems.

文摘Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have transformed three-dimensional(3D)optical imaging and metrology,enabling high-resolution and high-precision 3D surface geometry measurements from one single fringe pattern projection.However,the imaging speed of conventional fringe projection profilometry(FPP)remains limited by the native sensor refresh rates due to the inherent"one-to-one"synchronization mechanism between pattern projection and image acquisition in standard structured light techniques.Here,we present dual-frequency angular-multiplexed fringe projection profilometry(DFAMFPP),a deep learning-enabled 3D imaging technique that achieves high-speed,high-precision,and large-depth-range absolute 3D surface measurements at speeds 16 times faster than the sensor's native frame rate.By encoding multi-timeframe 3D information into a single multiplexed image using multiple pairs of dual-frequency fringes,high-accuracy absolute phase maps are reconstructed using specially trained two-stage number-theoretical-based deep neural networks.We validate the effectiveness of DFAMFPP through dynamic scene measurements,achieving 10,000 Hz 3D imaging of a running turbofan engine prototype with only a 625 Hz camera.By overcoming the sensor hardware bottleneck,DFAMFPP significantly advances high-speed and ultra-high-speed 3D imaging,opening new avenues for exploring dynamic processes across diverse scientific disciplines.

文摘Adventitious agents,comprising unintentionally introduced microorganisms in the production of biological products,pose a significant challenge in ensuring the safety of gene therapy products.The revised International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use(ICH)guildline Q5A(R2)from September 2022 highlights the inclusion of viral vector-based gene therapy products in safety discussions,emphasizing controls in material sourcing,testing,and viral clearance[1].Detecting adventitious virus contamination is complex due to the unique characteristics of gene therapy products and the limitations of routine testing methods.The US Food and Drug Administration(FDA)recommends incorporating routine and specific virus detection methods,including those outlined in various pharmacopeias.Existing control methods have limitations,prompting the need for highly sensitive and broad-spectrum detection approaches.Unlike traditional biological products,gene therapy products primarily consist of live viruses,necessitating methods that distinguish between the main virus and adventitious viruses.Current virus detection techniques,such as polymerase chain reaction(PCR),sequencing,mass spectrometry,and DNA microarrays[2e4],have their drawbacks.

文摘Lanthanide(Ln^(3+))-doped luminescent nanocrystals(NCs)with excitation and emission in the second near-infrared biological window(NIRII,1000-1700 nm)have attracted considerable attention in the fields of deep-tissue bioimaging and non-invasive biodetection,owing to their superior advantages including good photochemical stability,sharp emission peaks,large penetration depth,and high signal-to-noise ratio[1].Conventionally,Yb3t-and Nd3t-sensitized NCs have been utilized as NIR-II luminescent nanoprobes for in vivo bioimaging upon excitation with 980 and 808 nm diode laser,respectively[2].
文摘The interleaving/multiplexing technique was used to realize a 200?MHz real time data acquisition system. Two 100?MHz ADC modules worked parallelly and every ADC plays out data in ping pang fashion. The design improved the system conversion rata to 200?MHz and reduced the speed of data transporting and storing to 50?MHz. The high speed HDPLD and ECL logic parts were used to control system timing and the memory address. The multi layer print board and the shield were used to decrease interference produced by the high speed circuit. The system timing was designed carefully. The interleaving/multiplexing technique could improve the system conversion rata greatly while reducing the speed of external digital interfaces greatly. The design resolved the difficulties in high speed system effectively. The experiment proved the data acquisition system is stable and accurate.
