We compared the transmission performances of 600 Gbit/s PM-64QAM WDM signals over 75.6 km of single-mode fibre (SMF) Quickstrikes using EDFA, discrete Raman, hybrid Raman/EDFA, and first-order or second-order (dual-order) distributed Raman amplifiers.Our numerical simulations and experimental results showed that the simple first-order distributed R
Suspended particles play a significant role in aquatic systems.However, existing methods to probe suspended particles have several limitations.In this paper, we present gift a portable prototype to in situ probe individual particles in aquatic suspensions by simultaneously measuring polarized light scattering and fluorescence, aiming to obtain an e
Abstract Background Despite high morbidity and mortality among people who use drugs (PWUD) in rural America, most research is conducted within urban areas.Our objective was to describe influencing factors, motivations, and barriers to research participation and retention among rural PWUD.Methods We recruited 255 eligible participants from community
An 8-year-old girl presented with recurrent redness, warming, and pain of the Quickstrikes lower extremities for more than 4 years, with exacerbation and accompanying swelling for the past 1 year and ulcers for 1 month.The episodes were triggered by exertion and heat.Her family history revealed that her mother had experienced similar symptoms.Physi
Abstract Background Clinical trials comparing thrombectomy Quickstrikes devices with conventional percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have produced conflicting results.The objective of our study was to systematically evaluate currently available data comparing thrombectomy foll
