Radial profile measurement of Z(eff) using visible bremsstrahlung (5300 Å) in the Large Helical Device (LHD) has often encountered difficulties because the intensity profile was largely deformed by the nonuniform visible bremsstrahlung emissions from the edge ergodic layer surrounding the core plasma. A space-resolved flat-field extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrometer has been newly adopted to measure the Z(eff) profile using the EUV bremsstrahlung continuum in the wavelength range of 70-75 Å. The EUV bremsstrahlung intensity profiles have been measured and checked for all the magnetic configurations with totally different magnetic field structures in the ergodic layer of LHD. It is found that the nonuniform bremsstrahlung emission from the thick ergodic layer can be entirely eliminated by use of the EUV emission with relatively high photon energy of 170 eV. As a result, the Z(eff) profile can be successfully measured for most of discharges regardless of magnetic field structures of the ergodic layer. The Z(eff) profiles measured in the EUV range are compared with those measured in the visible range at a magnetic configuration with the thinnest ergodic layer thickness. The result verifies that the use of the EUV bremsstrahlung continuum is an alternative way for the Z(eff) measurement in toroidal plasmas with nonuniform bremsstrahlung emissions at the edge. Typical results from the EUV bremsstrahlung measurement are presented showing a fairly flat Z(eff) profile with error bars of ±14%.

Due to the inherent broadcasting nature and openness of wireless transmission channels, wireless communication systems are vulnerable to the eavesdropping of malicious attackers and usually encounter undesirable situations of information leakage. The problem may be more serious when a passive eavesdropping device is directly connected to the transmitter of a single-input single-output (SISO) system. To deal with this urgent situation, a novel IRS-assisted physical-layer secure transmission scheme based on joint transmitter perturbation and IRS reflection (JPR) is proposed, such that the secrecy of wireless SISO systems can be comprehensively guaranteed regardless of whether the reflection-based jamming from the IRS to the eavesdropper is blocked or not.

The terahertz (THz) band is expected to become a key technology to meet the ever-increasing traffic demand for future 6G wireless communications, and a lot of efforts have been paid to develop its capacity. However, few studies have been concerned with the transmission security of such ultra-high-speed THz wireless links. In this paper, we comprehensively investigate the physical layer security (PLS) of a THz communication system in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers and beam scattering.

Understanding and optimizing passive scalar mixing in a diffusive fluid flow at finite Péclet number [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are characteristic velocity and length scales, and [Formula: see text] is the molecular diffusivisity of the scalar) is a fundamental problem of interest in many environmental and industrial flows. Particularly when [Formula: see text], identifying initial perturbations of given energy that optimally and thoroughly mix fluids of initially different properties can be computationally challenging. To address this challenge, we consider the identification of initial perturbations in an idealized two-dimensional flow on a torus that extremize various measures over finite time horizons.

Physical layer security (PLS) has been proposed to afford an extra layer of security on top of the conventional cryptographic techniques. Unlike the conventional complexity-based cryptographic techniques at the upper layers, physical layer security exploits the characteristics of wireless channels, e.g.
