Abstract:  This paper provides the first temporally resolved visualization of the formation and decay profiles of Thermally induced reflection of sound (THORS) barriers in ambient air, revealing the spatiotemporal characteristics of these novel acoustic barriers. In this work, a 532  nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser coupled with an intensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) is used to Raman image N2 in ambient air, thereby allowing for the visualization of the spatial dynamics of the air density variations at these THORS barriers. Studies were conducted at various ambient temperatures and with air turbulence across the beam path revealing no change in barrier size or shape under typical environmental disturbance conditions. Raman images of a barrier formed by a repetitively pulsed CO laser reveal an abrupt barrier density change between the optically depleted region and the surrounding air, with the slope of the imaged barrier density increasing rapidly during the first 20  ms of barrier formation, indicative of the predicted increase in barrier abruptness associated with enhanced THORS efficiency. As seen in previous temporal studies of THORS barrier efficiencies, these images reveal that multiple laser pulses at an optimized optical frequency are capable of achieving maximum continuous suppression efficiencies through molecular depletion in the optically excited region. These imaging studies revealed that the maximum barrier efficiency required a minimum of eight laser pulses to achieve the desired barrier density change and depletion, agreeing with previous temporal studies that showed in maximum suppression efficiency after 16  ms with one ms excitation laser pulses. Furthermore, visualization of the barrier size revealed that thermal redistribution of the photothermally excited molecules resulted in a THORS barrier approximately 50% larger than the excitation beam width and that this barrier remains constant for as long as 15  ms after the final laser pulse and at laser powers between 50 and 250 W.

Abstract:  The increasing concern about the presence of pesticides in vegetable leaves has underscored an urgent need for real-time, nondestructive, and accurate detection methods. Traditional methods are reliable but laboratory-based, costly, and unsuitable for field monitoring. In this study, we propose an efficient learning model pipeline that uses hyperspectral reflectance signatures to detect pesticide residue in plant leaves. We extract a comprehensive set of 39 domain-specific features based on vegetation indices, red-edge metrics, spectral statistics, and derivative profiles. To enhance the performance, use a multilayer perceptron to extract more features. A feature fusion module is used to combine both domain-specific features and features extracted by a multilayer perceptron. Further refinement is achieved through a feed-forward attention scoring module that dynamically weights important features. The efficiency of the system is evaluated using an enhanced extra trees classifier, which shows superior classification performance and stability across different feature formats. With cross-validation, our model achieves an accuracy of 94.69%, significantly outperforming conventional classifiers such as convolutional neural networks, support vector machines, and ensemble models such as random forest and extra trees. This framework not only improves interpretability and performance but also provides a foundation for a real-time, on-site pesticide monitoring solution.

Abstract:  There is a need for in-field actinide measurements in support of nuclear forensic, safeguards, and environmental monitoring missions. Traditional methods of inorganic/elemental analysis, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), have high operational overheads, making these platforms ill-suited for this task. The liquid sampling–atmospheric pressure glow discharge (LS-APGD) ionization source is a proven microplasma ionization source with significantly reduced operational overhead as compared to ICP-MS; however, most studies to date have focused on coupling the LS-APGD to an ultrahigh resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometer. While the Orbitrap mass spectrometer is a benchtop instrument, it is quite complex with a large footprint and requires extremely low mass analyzer pressures. The Advion ExpressionL compact mass spectrometer (CMS) is a compact, easily transported single quadrupole mass spectrometer platform that was previously coupled with the LS-APGD to measure multielement/metal solutions, albeit not actinides. To this end, this manuscript reports the optimization of the LS-APGD with the Advion ExpressionL CMS mass spectrometer platform specifically for in-field actinide (uranium and thorium) measurements. This is the first report on the optimization of the dual-electrode LS-APGD on the CMS, including a modified ion sampling geometry. This also includes the first analysis of thorium using the LS-APGD, regardless of mass spectrometer coupling. After establishing that the LS-APGD and the mass spectrometer operations could be optimized independently, the LS-APGD discharge conditions were optimized with a design of experiments approach, with the mass spectrometer parameters optimized by a full factorial study. Once fully optimized, limits of detection of 0.2 ng total analyte mass were found for both uranium and thorium, below the EPA requirements for drinking water.

Abstract:  Chromium-doped zinc selenide (Cr:ZnSe) crystals are the gain media of choice for mid-infrared lasers operating over a 1.9–3.4 µm spectral range. In this study, we used laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) of Cr:ZnSe polycrystalline materials to improve the sensitivity of detecting chromium concentration in the laser-active materials. The fundamental harmonic of a Q-switched neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser was used as an excitation source. After calibration of the LIBS signal, we calculated that chromium's limit of detection (LOD) was 30 parts per million (ppm). Normalization of the Cr(I) intensity peak at 357.9 nm by the square root of the Zn(I) peak at 636.2 nm reduced the LOD to 20 ppm and increased the coefficient of determination to R² ≈ 0.98. These results demonstrate the potential of LIBS for microscale mapping of dopant distributions in laser crystals and for on-site monitoring of material quality during fabrication.

SAS flight attendant was detained in Denmark after alcohol test A SAS flight attendant was detained by police in Denmark last week after testing positive in an alcohol check linked to a flight, according to Swedish media reports. The Scandinavian airline said it is treating the case “very seriously” and reiterated its zero-tolerance policy on alcohol and drugs while on duty. What happened on the SAS flight in Denmark Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet reported that a female SAS flight attendant was taken into police custody on board an SAS aircraft in Denmark after blowing positive in an alcohol test. Danish broadcaster TV 2 later relayed the report and said the crew member had been described as intoxicated.

SAS detained a flight attendant in Denmark after a positive alcohol test, the second such case involving staff in just over a month.
