Hydraulic modelling reveals untreated sewage, not pharmaceutical waste, drives antimicrobial resistance in a small river running through a big city

By combining field monitoring with hydraulic modelling in Hyderabad's Musi River, this study reveals that untreated municipal sewage, rather than pharmaceutical manufacturing waste, is the primary driver of antimicrobial resistance, underscoring the urgent need for improved wastewater management in resource-limited urban environments.

Non-common path aberration compensation and a dark hole loop with a pyramid adaptive optics system: Application to SAXO+

This paper presents end-to-end numerical simulations demonstrating that while non-common path aberration compensation significantly reduces residual starlight in the SAXO+ system, a dark hole loop achieves a superior factor of 200 reduction, with the study also establishing that calibrating pyramid optical gains is beneficial for single-loop systems but unnecessary for the dual-loop SAXO+ architecture.
