Improved performance analysis of Gigabit passive optical networks

Gigabit passive optical networks (GPON) provide a capacity boosts in both the total bandwidth and bandwidth efficiency through the use of larger variable-length packets in Passive Optical Networks technology. In this paper, we have described a purely-passive GPON compatible reach extender using distributed Raman amplification and reported the improved investigation through implementation of a square root module by a distance of 60 km at data rate of 2.5 Gbps. An efficient improvement in Q factor is achieved with square root module, which further helps in increasing the length of GPON.     

监测小麦叶片氮积累量的新高光谱特征波段及比值植被指数

实时、快速、无损监测作物氮素状况对于精确氮肥管理具有重要意义。传统的氮素估测方法在时间或空间上难以满足要求,新兴的高光谱遥感技术为作物氮素监测提供了有效手段和技术途径。本研究的目的是基于三个田间试验的系统观测资料,探索可用于小麦叶片氮素监测的新的高光谱敏感波段及比值指数。利用减量精细采样法,系统构建了350～2 500 nm范围内所有两两波段形成的比值光谱指数RSI(ratio spectral index),综合分析了小麦叶片氮积累量LNA(leaf nitrogen accumulation)(g N·m-2)与RSI的定量关系,发现了监测叶片氮积累量的新高光谱特征波段(990, 720)和光谱指数RSI(990, 720),建立了相应的监测模型y=5.095x-6.040,模型的决定系数(R2)为0.814。利用独立试验资料检验模型,决定系数(R2)为0.847,相对根均方差(RRMSE)为24.70%,表明模型预测值与观察值之间的符合度较高。因此,利用高光谱比值指数RSI(990, 720)来估算小麦叶片氮积累量是精确可行的。该结果为便携式小麦氮素监测仪的研制开发及遥感信息的快速提取提供了适用可行的波段选择与技术依据。     

Identifying and supporting teachers’ robust understanding of proportional reasoning

This case study uses the Framework for Teachers’ Robust Understanding of Proportional Reasoning for Teaching (Weiland et al., 2020) to characterize how 51 mathematics teachers solved a comparison proportional problem. We found 50 of the 51 teachers productively drew upon four knowledge resources: (1) proportional situation, (2) ratios as part: part or part: whole, (3) unit rates, and (4) ratio as measure. This study details these and teachers’ less commonly used knowledge resources, as well as counterproductive statements related to the knowledge resources. We analyze the structure of the comparison proportion problem and suggest why teachers drew on particular knowledge resources. Lastly, we highlight how counterproductive statements highlight areas of focus for mathematics teacher educators and extends the operationalizing of the robust proportional reasoning framework for mathematics education researchers.     

The moment function for the ratio of correlated generalized gamma variables

The moment function for the ratio of correlated generalized gamma variables is expressed in terms of special functions. The expression presented generalizes the known moment expression for the integer valued moments to the real valued moments. Approximate formulas, in terms of elementary functions, are provided for low and high correlation regions and some application examples are given.     

Conformational Switches: Controlling the Carbamate C-N Rotamer Equilibrium

The syn / anti rotamer ratio for tert -butyl N -(2-thiazyl)carbamate 3 was measured by solution-state NMR in the presence and absence of a donor-acceptor-donor hydrogen bonding template. The template is able to switch the conformation of carbamate 3 from >95% anti to >70% syn making it the most effective carbamate conformational switch yet reported. B3LYP calculations provide insight into the factors that produce this result.     

Electroanalytical Studies and Simultaneous Determination of Amlodipine Besylate and Atorvastatine Calcium in Binary Mixtures Using First Derivative of the Ratio‐Voltammetric Methods

The electrochemical behavior of atorvastatin and amlodipine at a glassy carbon electrode has been studied using different voltammetric techniques. First derivative of the ratio voltammetric methods for determination of amlodipine and atorvastatin in tablets in the presence of the other compound has been described. This technique depends on the measuring of first derivative of the ratio voltammograms of each concentration as a function of the increased concentrations. DP and SW voltammetric methods depend on first derivative of the ratio‐voltammetry by measurements of the selected potentials for amlodipine and atorvastatin. The linear response was within the range of 4×10^?6–1×10^?4 M for amlodipine and 2×10^?6–1×10^?4 M for atorvastatin. The proposed methods have been extensively validated.     

Theoretical optimisation of the side-wall of micropillar array columns using computational fluid dynamics

The present study provides an overview of the ideal side-wall position in micro-pillar array columns for the case of semi-embedded side-walls. The position has been determined using computational fluid dynamics simulations of the flow field in flow domains with different side-wall shifts. Optimal side-wall shift values are presented for a wide range of shapes (cylinders, and diamonds and hexagons with different aspect ratios) and packing densities. Simple linear correlations that allow calculating the optimised side-wall geometries for the different considered variety of shapes and packing densities could be established. Interestingly, only two correlations are needed to represent all investigated cases: one correlation for all diamonds, and one correlation for the cylinders and all hexagons. Compared to the case of a flat side-wall, the minimal feature size on the mask can be increased by a factor of 2.5 in the case of cylindrical pillar bed with external porosity ? = 0.4, implying that that much smaller pillar diameters can be used in the bulk of the bed before the minimal feature size on the mask falls below the lithography resolution.     

Solution behavior of 4-arm poly(tert-butyl acrylate) star polymers

This paper reports the synthesis of 4-arm poly(tert-butyl acrylate) stars of different molar masses up to 10⁶ g/mol by the “core-first” method using ATRP. All obtained stars have a monomodal and narrow molar-mass distribution (<1.2).The dilute-solution properties of these star polymers were investigated in good solvents (tetrahydrofuran and acetone). Gel permeation chromatography and dynamic and static light scattering were used to measure the hydrodynamic properties including intrinsic viscosity [η], radius of gyration R_g, hydrodynamic radius R_h, second virial coefficient A₂ and diffusion coefficient D₀. These data were used to establish relationships between these parameters and the molar mass of 4-arm poly(tert-butyl acrylate) stars. The branching parameters g and g′ and the shape factor ρ were calculated for all obtained star polymers.     

Completely monotone functions and the Wallis ratio

The aim of the paper is to improve known estimates of the Wallis ratio. Moreover, we show that these improvements are valid, because certain functions involving the continuous version of the Wallis ratio are completely monotone.
