TL;DR: Various data decomposition techniques that can denoise the signal are investigated and applied to partition the input time series into several high and low-frequency signals and establish that the proposed EWT- based hybrid model outperforms other decomposition-based models in accuracy and stability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the immune cell landscape, with emphasis on Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, in cohorts totaling 208 patients with various stages of disease and found that altered MAIT cell functions due to IFN-α-IL-18 imbalance contribute to disease severity, and their therapeutic manipulation may prevent deleterious inflammation in COVID-19 aggravation.
Abstract: Immune system dysfunction is paramount in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severity and fatality rate. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are innate-like T cells involved in mucosal immunity and protection against viral infections. Here, we studied the immune cell landscape, with emphasis on MAIT cells, in cohorts totaling 208 patients with various stages of disease. MAIT cell frequency is strongly reduced in blood. They display a strong activated and cytotoxic phenotype that is more pronounced in lungs. Blood MAIT cell alterations positively correlate with the activation of other innate cells, proinflammatory cytokines, notably interleukin (IL)-18, and with the severity and mortality of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. We also identified a monocyte/macrophage interferon (IFN)-α-IL-18 cytokine shift and the ability of infected macrophages to induce the cytotoxicity of MAIT cells in an MR1-dependent manner. Together, our results suggest that altered MAIT cell functions due to IFN-α-IL-18 imbalance contribute to disease severity, and their therapeutic manipulation may prevent deleterious inflammation in COVID-19 aggravation.

TL;DR: In this article, the optical power limiting properties of fluorinated graphene oxide (F-GO) using the optical z-scan technique were reported. And the photoacoustic technique enabled them to confirm that optical limiting observed in F-GO at low fluence arises from nonlinear absorption, while that at higher fluence is due to nonlinear scattering.
Abstract: Fluorination of carbon nanomaterials has many advantages due to the unique nature of the carbon–fluorine (C–F) bond. In this work, we report the optical power limiting properties of fluorinated graphene oxide (F–GO) using the optical z-scan technique. In addition, we used the photoacoustic technique to gain insight into the nonlinear processes involved in the optical limiting of samples. The photoacoustic technique enabled us to confirm that optical limiting observed in F–GO at low fluence arises from nonlinear absorption, while that at higher fluence is due to nonlinear scattering. Moreover, we found that F–GO has high nonlinear absorption and nonlinear scattering and its optical limiting threshold is about an order of magnitude better than that of graphene oxide (GO).
