Characterization of the Vibrio anguillarum VaRyhB regulon and role in pathogenesis by Yingjie Li, Xinran Yu, Peng Li, Xin Li, Lushan Wang

“…The virulence factor motility is also upregulated by VaRyhB, and reduced motility capability was observed in the ΔVaryhB mutant, which may be another reason resulting in weak pathogenesis. The sensitivity toward H2O2 in the ΔVafur mutant could be restored by the loss of VaRyhB, suggesting that the role of Fur in oxidative stress is mediated by VaRyhB. …”

A dual-band microwave sensor for glucose measurements utilizing an enclosed split ring metamaterial-based array by Abhishek Kandwal, Ziheng Ju, Louis W.Y. Liu, Rohit Jasrotia, Choon Kit Chan, Zedong Nie, Ali M. Almuhlafi, Hamsakutty Vettikalladi

“…To overcome the accuracy problem, a dual-band glucose sensor with dimensions 50 mm × 20 mm is proposed in this work to enable a glucose concentration to be measured at one resonance frequency band and cross-checked at another. An array of split-ring resonators (SRRs) was fabricated at a rectangular sensing area on the top surface of a 0.3 mm thick PET substrate, forming a metasurface with dual resonance bands at 4.5 GHz and 9.2 GHz. …”
