We investigate the performance of visible light communication (VLC) system with a pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming control scheme. Under this scheme, the communication quality in terms of number of transmitted bits and bit error rate (BER) of less than 10(-3) should be guaranteed. However, for on-off-keying (OOK) signal, the required data rate becomes 10 times as high as the original data rate when the duty cycle of dimming control signal is 0.1. To make the dimming control scheme easy to be implemented in VLC system, we propose the variable M-QAM OFDM VLC system, where M is adjusted according to the brightness of LED light in terms of duty cycle. The results show that with different duty cycles the required data rates are not higher than the original value and less LED lamp power is required to guarantee the communication quality, which makes the dimming control system that satisfies both communication and illumination requirements easy to be implemented and power-saving.

Since visible light communication (VLC) uses light-emitting diode (LED) as transmitters, it has dual functions of illumination and communication. To meet flexible lighting and energy-saving needs, we propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, dimming control scheme for spectrally efficient clipping-free multilayer optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CFMO-OFDM)-based VLC systems. In order to achieve high dynamic-range dimming control for LEDs, the time-domain CFMO-OFDM signals are first grouped based on frequency-domain subcarrier distribution.

The components and structure of starch macromolecules critically determine its food-use properties. However, elemental sulfur supplementation affects the relationship between starch structure and the cookie-making quality of wheat under shaded environments remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effect of sulfur on the starch multi-scale structures and its contribution to the cookie-baking quality of wheat after pre- or post-anthesis shading.

The coronavirus-induced disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, has had a devastating impact on millions of lives globally, with severe mortality rates and catastrophic social implications. Developing tools for effective vaccine strategies and platforms is essential for controlling and preventing the recurrence of such pandemics. Moreover, molecular virology tools that facilitate the study of viral pathogens, impact of viral mutations, and interactions with various host proteins are essential.

This paper addresses the growing importance of efficient street lighting management, driven by rising electricity costs and the need for municipalities to implement cost-effective solutions. Central to this study is the UNI 11248 Italian regulation, which extends the European EN 13201-1 standard introduced in 2016. These standards provide guidelines for designing, installing, operating, and maintaining lighting systems in pedestrian and vehicular traffic areas.

Stepwise photopolymerization is a miraculous strategy modulating the polymer skeleton and electro-optical properties of light modulators based on liquid crystal/polymer composites. However, owing to the indistinct polymerization mechanism and curing condition discrepancy, the required polymer structures and electro-optical properties are hard to be controlled precisely. Herein, a novel polymer-stabilized liquid crystal film based on acrylate/epoxy resin is proposed, fabricated and the relationships between preparation process, polymer content, polymer morphology and electro-optical properties are studied.
