The most common construction material used in Taiwan is concrete, potentially contaminated by geologic heavy metals (HMs). Younger children spend much time indoors, increasing HM exposure risks from household dust owing to their behaviors. We evaluated arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) concentrations in fingernails among 280 preschoolers between 2017 and 2023. We also analyzed HM concentrations, including As, Cd, Pb, chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn), in 90 household dust and 50 road dust samples from a residential area where children lived between 2019 and 2021 to deepen the understanding of sources and health risks of exposure to HMs from household dust. The average As, Cd, and Pb concentrations in fingernails were 0.12 ± 0.06, 0.05 ± 0.05, and 0.95 ± 0.77 μg/g, respectively. Soil parent materials, indoor construction activities, vehicle emissions, and mixed indoor combustion were the pollution sources of HMs in household dust. Higher Cr and Pb levels in household dust may pose non-carcinogenic risks to preschoolers. Addressing indoor construction and soil parent materials sources is vital for children's health. The finding of the present survey can be used for indoor environmental management to reduce the risks of HM exposure and avoid potential adverse health effects for younger children. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

By the semipolar blue single GaN μ-LED and blended Ir(piq)2(acac) + CC-MP5 polymer thin film color converter, a high-speed white-light μ-LED-based system is built up for the applications of short-distance VLC. The characteristics and properties of both devices are analyzed to understand the requirements for transmission and illumination. By selecting the growing orient, the influence of QCSE is reduced in this GaN μ-LED. Meanwhile, possessing the low reflection characteristic, it is beneficial for signal modulation. For the polymer thin film color converter with a lifetime of 7.8 ns, low surface reflection and high conversion efficiency are thought of good properties. Color-converted cool white light has a CCT of around 7000 K and high color accuracy with a CRI of about 90. The APD-combined frequency responses of the GaN μ-LED and GaN μ-LED + polymer are measured as 750 MHz and 600 MHz, respectively. After the optimization by utilizing the adaptive SNR-flattening pre-emphasis algorithm, the transmission performance of the white-light μ-LED is significantly promoted. For NRZ-OOK encoding, a 1.4 Gbps 0.15-m free-space transmission is achieved with a rising time of 656.33 ps, a falling time of 493.32 ps, and a Q-factor of 4.75. Besides, in more advanced data formats, the performance of this white-light μ-LED can be better highlighted. For the same 0.15-m free-space VLC, a high-speed 3 Gbps broadband 8-QAM-OFDM transmission is fulfilled with an EVM of 23.9%, an average SNR of 12.5, and a BER below 3.8 × 10^-3;while to the best of our knowledge, a record 3.5 Gbps BL-DMT transmission is implemented as well. This white-light μ-LED can also be integrated into large-scale arrays for multi-functional VLC applications. © 2024 The Authors

Acoustic metalenses have been pursued over the past decades due to their pivotal role in a wide variety of applications. Recent research efforts have demonstrated that, at ultrasonic regimes, acoustic levitation can be realized with standing waves, which are created by the interference between incoming and reflected focused waves. However, the conventional gradient-metasurface approach to focus ultrasonic waves is complex, leading to poor scalability. In this work, we propose a design principle for ultrasonic metalenses, based on metagratings—arrays of discrete scatters with coarser features than gradient metasurfaces. We achieve beam focusing by locally controlling the excitation of a single diffraction order with the use of metagratings, with geometry adiabatically varying over the lens aperture. We show that our metalens can effectively focus impinging ultrasonic waves to a focal point with a full width at half maximum of 0.364 of the wavelength. The focusing performance of the metalens is demonstrated experimentally, validating our proposed approach. This metagrating approach to focusing can be adopted for different operating frequencies by scaling the size of the structure, which has coarse features suitable for high-frequency designs, with potential applications ranging from biomedical science to nondestructive testing.

In this work, the Ni/γ-Al2O3 (Ni/Al) and Ni/LA2O3-γ-Al2O3 (Ni/La-Al) catalysts were synthesized by the all-in-one method and used in the Dry Reforming of Methane (DRM). The catalysts were characterized and a smaller Ni crystallite size for the La-promoted catalyst was observed. The effects of the feed ratio (CH4:CO2), the use of La as a promoter of the catalyst support, and the use of the structured system in DRM reaction were investigated. Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were applied to investigate the catalytic deactivation effects. The deactivation of the structured catalysts was also evaluated by applying different weight hourly space velocities (WHSV): 20, 30, and 40 L gcat-1 h-1. Besides that, the regeneration of the catalysts was developed through the comparison of the treatment with CO2 and H2 atmospheres. The catalytic study of the powder samples showed that the lower the CH4:CO2 ratio the higher reactants conversion for both catalysts. It was also noted that the CH4:CO2 feed ratio of 4 provided a conversion 10 % higher for the Ni/La-Al catalyst in comparison with the Ni/Al catalyst. The analogy between the powder and structured systems implied greater conversion for the structured system. Furthermore, the greater and the lower deactivation of the structured systems were identified for the WHSV values of 40 and 20 L gcat-1 h-1, respectively. Finally, the regeneration treatment with CO2 showed to be more efficient than the treatment with H2 © 2022, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Leaves can be used to assess the health of a plant. The chlorophyll content and nitrogen status of plants might be used to assess plant health. Chlorophyll content of plant leaves is measurable in the laboratory using dimethyl sulfoxide or the Kjeldahl technique. These destructive investigations of plant tissues accurately evaluates chlorophyll concentration and nitrogen status. However, this procedure is costly and time-consuming. Using a SPAD instrument, non-destructive chlorophyll measurements were performed. However, the price of the instrument is high. This research intends to develop a technique for detecting chlorophyll content using a smartphone’s built-in camera. The approach used is an advancement of ground-based remote sensing technology. The object of this research is maize. An RGB camera on a mobile phone was used to gather data on the greenness level of the leaf. Concurrently, the SPAD value was measured to determine the chlorophyll content. In this study, there were three primary phases, capturing leaf images with geotags, leaf image processing, and vegetation index (VIs) analysis. This research demonstrated that a mobile camera has potential as a tool for measuring chlorophyll content depending on the level of leaf greenness. Additionally, the GPS function on each data provides the chlorophyll distribution in a field.

Polarization entanglement holds significant importance for photonic quantum technologies. Recently emerging subwavelength nonlinear quantum light sources, e.g., GaP and LiNbO3 thin films, benefiting from the relaxed phase-matching constraints and volume confinement, has shown intriguing properties, such as high-dimensional hyperentanglement and robust entanglement anti-degradation. Van der Waals (vdW) NbOCl2 crystal, renowned for its superior optical nonlinearities, has emerged as one of ideal candidates for ultrathin quantum light sources [Nature 613, 53 (2023)]. However, polarization-entanglement is inaccessible in NbOCl2 crystal due to its unfavorable nonlinear susceptibility tensor. Here, by leveraging the twist-stacking degree of freedom inherently in vdW systems, we showcase the preparation of tunable polarization entanglement and quantum Bell states. Our work not only provides a new and tunable polarization-entangled vdW photon-pair source, but also introduces a new knob in engineering the entanglement state of quantum light at the nanoscale. © 2024, CC BY-NC-ND.

The study assessed the physicochemical and biological properties of selected groundwater sources in the Southeastern part of the Western Region, to assess the impact on water quality and health risk. The Piper Trilinear plot was used to categorize the water samples into water types based on the dominant anion and cation concentrations. Statistical analysis (One way ANOVA and two sample t-test) was used to determine the sources of variation in the data at 95% confidence interval. The Water Quality Index (WQI) and Hazard Quotient (HQ) were used to estimate the water quality and health risk respectively. TDS and turbidity were above the acceptable WHO guidelines in 16.7% of the samples with a mildly acidic pH in 83.3% of the water samples. Also, 91.7% of the water samples were contaminated with total coliform (TC) and 25% with e-coli. Generally, the groundwater samples were dominated by Ca 2+ and HCO 3- ion water types. The variations between parameters were found not significant for all the parameters (p>0.05). Water samples in the North are of good quality with a mean WQI of 96, but of poor quality in the South with a mean WQI of 144.6. HQ values for all the samples were less than 0.1, suggesting less harmful impacts of the heavy metal concentrations on human health. Overall, the results showed the presence of heavy metals in the groundwater sources sampled, however in quantities with low health risks either through oral or dermal channels. Groundwater within the communities is good for domestic purposes but needs treatment for drinking. To improve upon the study, it is recommended that further studies consider a higher number of samples and include other accessible groundwater stations where possible.

Transverse acoustic spin and torque from pure spinning of objects

Acoustic spin has been recently explored for many applications. In particular, transverse acoustic spin was demonstrated for inhomogeneous acoustic fields. In this Letter, we show the emergence of acoustic spin and torque in rotating acoustic objects of the same physical properties as the surrounding, to single out the effects purely due to rotation. The spinning of a cylindrical column of air or water in the same medium possesses intrinsic spin angular momentum, and we study the torque and force it experiences in evanescent acoustic fields. The resulting discontinuity can thus scatter sound in unusual ways, including a negative radiation force, although it has no imaginary part in its parameters.
