PDL-Compensated Mechanically Induced Long-Period Grating for EDFA Gain Flattening

We present and demonstrate a polarization-insensitive mechanically induced long-period fiber grating (MLPG) for EDFA gain flattening. By forming a 90° fiber rotator in the middle of the MLPG the PDL of the MLPG was substantially reduced. The PDL-compensated MLPG was able to flatten the ASE spectrum of an EDFA successfully without deterioration of the polarization characteristics.     

Information Loss for QCD Matter in AdS Black Holes at LHC

In this paper,we find the information loss for QCD matter in AdS black holes at LHC by extending the Gottesman and Preskill methode to AdS black holes.We calculate the information transformation from the collapsing matter to the state of outgoing Hawking radiation for both quarks and gluons.It is noticed that for finite values of quark and gluon energies,information from all emission processes experiences some degrees of loss.Possible explanation for this feature will be presented in this paper.     

Properties of Defect Modes in Periodic Lossy Multilayer with Negative-Index-Materials

Employing the characteristic matrix method, this study investigates transmission properties of onedimensional defective lossy photonic crystals composed of negative and positive refractive index layers with one lossless defect layer at the center of the crystal. The results of the study show that as the refractive index and thickness of the defect layer increase, the frequency of the defect mode decreases. In addition, the study shows that the frequency of the defect mode is sensitive to the incidence angle, polarization, and physical properties of the defect layer, but it is insensitive to the small lattice loss factor. The peak of the defect mode is very sensitive to the loss factor, incidence angle, polarization, refractive index, and thickness of the defect layer. This study also shows that the peak and the width of the defect mode are affected by the numbers of the lattice period and the loss factor. The results can lead to designing new types of narrow filter structures and other optical devices.     

A simple but accurate method for prediction of splice loss in single-mode dispersion shifted trapezoidal as well as dispersion flattened graded and step W fibers

We present simple and accurate analytical expressions for transmission coefficient at the splice for both angular offset and transverse offset in case of single-mode dispersion shifted trapezoidal as well as dispersion flattened graded and step W fibers. Here, we employ the recently developed simple series expression for fundamental modal field for such fibers. The evaluation of the concerned parameters based on our formalism requires very little computations. We show that our estimations match excellently with the exact numerical results in case of the said fibers. Further, splices being highly tolerant with respect to longitudinal separation, we restrict our investigations to the cases of transverse and angular mismatches only. The present study should find application in all optical technology involving said kinds of fiber.     

High-pressure effects on cooking loss and histological structure of beef muscle

In this study, we investigate the effects of high pressures (up to 600 MPa) applied at room temperature for 10 min on beef cooking loss and structure. The data on cooking loss, pH and protein solubility, as well as the electron microscopy, illustrate the changes in cooking loss and structure with high pressure processing (HPP). There is a significant reduction in cooking loss of beef with HPP. When the beef sample is imposed upon by 300 or 400 MPa, the cooking loss reduction is about 12%. Further, the pH of beef is dramatically increased as the pressure increases, and the pH increases by about 5% when imposed upon by 500 MPa. When a high pressure was applied at room temperature, the structure of the beef tissue apparently changed. Muscle fiber fragments gradually became slender and sarcomeres became lengthened. Our data indicated that high-pressure treatment on beef leads to stretching of the muscle fiber and an increase in the water-holding capacity.     

Static and dynamic properties of unidirectional CFRP laminates with flexible interphase

In this study, a flexible interphase than matrix resin is studied. The fabrication method of unidirectional CFRP laminates with flexible fiber/matrix interphase has been established. The influence of the flexible interphase thickness on the flexural modulus and strength are experimentally investigated. The influence on the vibration properties are also investigated. It has been concluded that the flexible interphase with the optimized thickness could improve both the static and dynamic properties.

Estimation of the Failure Rate in a Partially Accelerated Life Test: A Sequential Approach

Abstract

Consider the situation in which a group of units are put on a partially accelerated life test. It is assumed that the lifelengths of the units are independent and exponentially distributed random variables with common failure rate θ, and that θ is the value of a random variable having a gamma distribution. A two‐stage sequential procedure for estimating θ under the squared error loss is proposed. In the first stage, the units are put on the test under normal stress up to time t, where t is determined as a stopping time that minimizes the expected loss plus cost of running the test. In the second stage, the stress is raised to a higher level for those units that did not fail by time t and held constant until they all fail. The accumulated data are then used to estimate θ with the Bayes estimator.
