Rice cultivation is a significant source of agricultural methane (CH₄), yet routine quantification still relies heavily on gas chromatography (GC), which limits throughput and field deployment. Here, we evaluated a portable tunable-diode-laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) detector (PMD) as an alternative to GC for measuring CH₄ released from pot-grown rice plants under field conditions. Weekly closed-chamber samples from fi...

Background: We have designed a reinforced drug-loaded vascular graft composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polydioxanone (PDO) via a combination of electrospinning/3D printing approaches. To evaluate its potential for clinical application, we compared the in vivo blood compatibility and performance of PCL/PDO + 10%DY grafts doped with an antithrombotic drug (dipyridamole) with a commercial expanded polytetrafluoroethylene ( e...
