if the conditions are right.” Bochum are currently last in the Bundesliga and need to get at least 4 points out of the remaining two games (against Mainz and St Pauli) in order to have a chance at getting hold of rank 16th - the highest possible position for Bochum this season If they can achieve this unlikely scenario they will face the 3rd ranked team of the 2 praised Hecking's work at Bochum: “We are all convinced that the constellation of Dieter Hecking and VfL Bochum is a very good fit for both sides and that he is the right coach for us - regardless of the league.” Heidenheim and Bochum wasted their chance to climb up the table with a stalemate draw at Voith-Arena there was a bigger concern in the game as Kevin Müller suffered a serious injury after a collision With the relegation/promotion playoff their only chance of surviving the drop Bochum knew there was no good result other than a win in this fixture Dieter Hecking made four changes from the home draw to Union Berlin while the hosts only replaced suspended Niklas Dorsch with Leo Scienza Heidenheim’s hopes of survival were boosted with a late win in Stuttgart last Friday but they wasted no time looking for a first goal on this one the visitors had to settle for an early substitution with Philipp Hofmann feeling discomfort following an aerial collision with Marvin Pieringer the game has seen its second forced substitution Scienza had a lively game until he struggled with back problems The two substitutes – Myron Boadu and Sirlord Conteh – didn’t need much time to settle as they were both involved in their respective team’s best opportunities before the half-time break we had the game’s third substitution due to yet another injury After a hard collision with Ibrahima Sissoko Heidenheim’s Kevin Müller received a lengthy treatment on the pitch Both sets of fans rallied to show solidarity while Müller was stretchered off the pitch after ten minutes.  Bochum nearly took the lead when Boadu was denied by the post The hosts regained the momentum after that but they couldn’t create clear goal-scoring chances Timo Horn denied another late winner for Heidenheim with a superb save in the 100th minute The draw is a good result for the other three teams in the relegation fight while Bochum remain at the foot of the table Speaking at his press conference this afternoon VfL Bochum head coach Dieter Hecking said he is relishing tomorrow's relegation six-pointer against FC Heidenheim The only thing on my mind is that we'll win in Heidenheim The guys on the field have to support each other we have a good chance and can hurt Heidenheim,” he added Hecking went on to praise the fans who turned out to show the team some support at training today and lauded his players' desire to take on any opponent big or small They were down and out and have bounced back It doesn't matter who plays for us tomorrow The question will be who makes fewer mistakes and how well they can exploit their opponent's mistakes,” he concluded.  "It is not clear how long Kevin Muller will be out for," Heidenheim said in a statement Heidenheim, who earned a promotion to the Bundesliga in 2023, are 16th with two matches left and risk going into the relegation playoffs as they sit four points below 15th-placed Hoffenheim who have played a game less.

(Carmen Jaspersen/dpa via AP) BERLIN (AP) — Bochum remained bottom of the Bundesliga on Sunday after a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin that brought relegation a step closer as its rivals all won. Matus Bero canceled Benedict Hollerbach’s first-half strike for Union when he equalized on the rebound after Frederik Rönnow saved his penalty. But it wasn’t enough to lift Bochum off the bottom, after relegation rivals Holstein Kiel and Heidenheim both won their 31st-round games. With three rounds remaining, Bochum had 21 points, below Kiel on 22 and Heidenheim on 25. Hoffenheim was the closest team in safety on 30 points. Bochum next plays Heidenheim in a decisive game for both on Friday. The bottom two face automatic relegation to the second division, while the team that finishes third from bottom plays the third-place finisher in the second division in a two-leg playoff to determine which club plays in the Bundesliga next season. Union had already secured its Bundesliga survival for another season. The only concern from the Köpenick-based team’s point of view was Diego Leite. The Portuguese defender had to be stretchered off the field after lengthy on-field treatment for apparent breathing problems after he was struck in the larynx by a shot from Bero. Werder Bremen’s four-game winning run was ended with a 0-0 draw at home to St. Pauli in the late match. Bremen stayed eighth, while St. Pauli moved a point above Hoffenheim.

The project's HyperNIR device employs a "phasor acquisition" approach, a known numerical method for simplifying complex fluorescence lifetime data. This involves parameters like spectral width and emission lifetime being Fourier transformed and represented as 2D plots, so that a physical position on the plot indicates some of the spectral data. A direct optical version of the same approach is possible, but "the potential of direct phasor-acquisition has not been leveraged yet for hyperspectral imaging, and the NIR range of the spectrum is especially challenging," noted the project in its paper, not least since commercially available spectral filters are not best suited to the operation. The RUB project built an alternative architecture incorporating two parallel linear polarizers, sandwiched around a tunable liquid crystal retarder able to further modify the polarization state of light traveling through it. The combination transforms optical signals into a 2D spectral (phasor) space, and changing the degree of retardance allows different NIR fluorophores to be identified in the spectral data. In trials, as few as three images taken at different retardances were sufficient to isolate the presence of polyethylene and polyamide microplastics. The same approach also showed the influence of water uptake in pepper plants through changing NIR reflectivity of the plant leaves, without contact and without using dyes. "The ability to analyze different materials and their properties in real time can considerably increase the efficiency of processes in environmental monitoring," commented Sebastian Kruss from RUB. "While conventional methods require time-consuming scanning of a sample, the HyperNIR camera is significantly faster." The HyperNIR approach could also potentially be applied to detection of other molecules vital to plant health, allowing similar hyperspectral monitoring to be used in monitoring the nutrient content in a plant, or to detect pest infestation and plant stress at an early stage. It may also be possible to combine HyperNIR method with conventional fluorescence microscopy, using it to differentiate between various fluorescent molecules being used as markers. This means that the system is potentially of interest for biomedical research as well as plant studies. "Integrating the process into drones could help to solve pressing environmental issues in the field of agriculture by opening up a new dimension in data collection and analysis," said Sebastian Kruss.
