Information theory of optimization in chromatography: Analytical structure of optimization

Summary The analytical roles of chromatographic variables (column length, etc.) can be soundly comprehended and compared in terms of the precision (Φ) of measurements and efficiency (ϑ) of analysis which are described as Shannon information and information flow, respectively. The φϑ plots of the optimization process and the information Φ transmitted by a single peak are useful to understand the analytical structure of optimization. Variables treated here are mobile phase composition (X), column length (L), mobile phase velocity rate (u), detection wavelength (λ) and plate number (N).

General theory of information transfer: Updated

We report on ideas, problems and results, which occupied us during the past decade and which seem to extend the frontiers of information theory in several directions. The main contributions concern information transfer by channels. There are also new questions and some answers in new models of source coding. While many of our investigations are in an explorative state, there are also hard cores of mathematical theories. In particular we present a unified theory of information transfer, which naturally incorporates Shannon's theory of information transmission and the theory of identification in the presence of noise as extremal cases. It provides several novel coding theorems. On the source coding side we introduce data compression for identification. Finally we are led beyond information theory to new concepts of solutions for probabilistic algorithms.

The original paper [R. Ahlswede, General theory of information transfer, Preprint 97-118, SFB 343 Diskrete Strukturen in der Mathematik, Universität Bielefeld, 1997] gave to and received from the ZIF-project essential stimulations which resulted in contributions added as GTIT-Supplements “Search and channels with feedback” and “Noiseless coding for multiple purposes: a combinatorial model”.

Other contributions—also to areas initiated—are published in the recent book [R. Ahlswede et al. (Eds.), General Theory of Information Transfer and Combinatorics, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 4123, Springer, Berlin, 2006].

The readers are advised to study always the pioneering papers in a field—in this case the papers [R. Ahlswede, G. Dueck, Identification via channels, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 35 (1989) 15–29; R. Ahlswede, G. Dueck, Identification in the presence of feedback—a discovery of new capacity formulas, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory 35 (1989) 30–39] on identification. It is not only the most rewarding way to come to new ideas, but it also helps to more quickly grasp the more advanced formalisms without going through too many technicalities. Perhaps also the recent Shannon Lecture [R. Ahlswede, Towards a General Theory of Information Transfer, Shannon Lecture at ISIT in Seattle 13th July 2006, IEEE Information Theory Society Newsletter, 2007], aiming at an even wider scope, gives further impetus.

Spectrum Slicing for Multiple Access Channels with Heterogeneous Services

Wireless mobile networks from the fifth generation (5G) and beyond serve as platforms for flexible support of heterogeneous traffic types with diverse performance requirements. In particular, the broadband services aim for the traditional rate optimization, while the time-sensitive services aim for the optimization of latency and reliability, and some novel metrics such as Age of Information (AoI). In such settings, the key question is the one of spectrum slicing: how these services share the same chunk of available spectrum while meeting the heterogeneous requirements. In this work we investigated the two canonical frameworks for spectrum sharing, Orthogonal Multiple Access (OMA) and Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA), in a simple, but insightful setup with a single time-slotted shared frequency channel, involving one broadband user, aiming to maximize throughput and using packet-level coding to protect its transmissions from noise and interference, and several intermittent users, aiming to either to improve their latency-reliability performance or to minimize their AoI. We analytically assessed the performances of Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and ALOHA-based schemes in both OMA and NOMA frameworks by deriving their Pareto regions and the corresponding optimal values of their parameters. Our results show that NOMA can outperform traditional OMA in latency-reliability oriented systems in most conditions, but OMA performs slightly better in age-oriented systems.     

Investigation of modulation parameters in multiplexing gas chromatography

Combination of information technology and separation sciences opens a new avenue to achieve high sample throughputs and therefore is of great interest to bypass bottlenecks in catalyst screening of parallelized reactors or using multitier well plates in reaction optimization. Multiplexing gas chromatography utilizes pseudo-random injection sequences derived from Hadamard matrices to perform rapid sample injections which gives a convoluted chromatogram containing the information of a single sample or of several samples with similar analyte composition. The conventional chromatogram is obtained by application of the Hadamard transform using the known injection sequence or in case of several samples an averaged transformed chromatogram is obtained which can be used in a Gauss–Jordan deconvolution procedure to obtain all single chromatograms of the individual samples. The performance of such a system depends on the modulation precision and on the parameters, e.g. the sequence length and modulation interval. Here we demonstrate the effects of the sequence length and modulation interval on the deconvoluted chromatogram, peak shapes and peak integration for sequences between 9-bit (511 elements) and 13-bit (8191 elements) and modulation intervals Δt between 5 s and 500 ms using a mixture of five components. It could be demonstrated that even for high-speed modulation at time intervals of 500 ms the chromatographic information is very well preserved and that the separation efficiency can be improved by very narrow sample injections. Furthermore this study shows that the relative peak areas in multiplexed chromatograms do not deviate from conventionally recorded chromatograms.

Information hiding based on the optical interference principle

An information hiding method based on the optical interference principle is proposed. In this method, a secret image can be obtained by two light beams' interference. One of the beams is modulated by our assigned host image; and the other is modulated by a noise-like complex distribution, which is regard as the encrypted image. The transmission of the encrypted image can be implemented by hiding it in the host image to prevent the communication from being perceived by unauthorized person. In addition, this method can also realize simultaneous encryption and hiding for two images. A series of numerical simulation results are presented to verify the feasibility of our proposed method.
