A novel method improving the temperature uniformity of hot-plate under induction heating

Wang Jin et al.

Summary: The paper presents a novel method to improve the uniformity of temperature distribution on the surface of a hot-plate. Through simulations and experiments, adjustments to magnetic flux density were identified to enhance temperature uniformity. Moreover, principal components analysis and orthogonal test methods were utilized to optimize the temperature distribution on the hot-plate's target surface.

Multi-site assessment of rapid, point-of-care antigen testing for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a low-prevalence setting: A validation and implementation study

Stephen Muhi et al.

Summary: The study evaluates the performance and implementation of rapid antigen-based SARS-CoV-2 testing in a setting with low prevalence of COVID-19 infections. Results show high specificity and relatively high sensitivity in early-stage symptomatic patients, while also identifying implementation challenges for consideration in future testing strategies.
