Optical phase conjugation (OPC) can be applied to boost the performance of long-haul transmission by mitigating the impairments from fiber nonlinearity. Unfortunately, noticeable nonlinear noise in the conjugator for optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems often degrades the signal quality. In this paper, we demonstrate nonlinear distortion mitigation in OPC by introducing backward Raman amplification to the conjugator. Raman amplification allows a lower input signal power, thus suppressing the OPC distortion while maintaining the conjugated output power. We investigate the performances of Raman-enhanced OPC in both back-to-back (BTB) and transmission systems with 3 × 25 Gbaud optical OFDM signals. In the BTB OPC system, Raman amplification boosts the tolerance to system nonlinearity, achieving a 3-dB improvement in the output power, a 2.4-dB improvement in the Q factor, and a 6-dB improvement in the input dynamic range. In the transmission system with Raman-enhanced OPC, the optimum launched power is increased by 2 dB and the maximum Q factor is increased by 0.4 dB compared to direct transmission. Similar performances are observed in all the wavelengths, indicating that our scheme works well with WDM transmission systems.

Introduction: Dengue is one of the most widespread arboviruses in Latin America and is now affecting areas previously free of transmission. The COVID-19 pandemic and climatic variations appear to have affected the incidence of the disease, abundance of vectors and health programs related to dengue in some countries.
Objective: To analyze the epidemiology of dengue in Paltas, Ecuador (2016-2022), compare the periods before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, examine entomological reports and discuss the possible implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and climatic variations.

The adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly prevalent, driven by the global initiative to conserve energy and reduce emissions. Nevertheless, CCUS has the potential to induce corrosion in equipment, particularly in high-pressure environments containing carbon dioxide (CO). Therefore, anti-corrosion protection is necessary for the metal utilized for CO production and storage equipment.

Hybrid transmissions have attracted great attention in the automotive industry due to their energy-saving, low-emission properties, and have become a focus of research and development. This paper presents a new method to design the configuration of two mode power split hybrid transmission using the combination of the simple planetary gear trains (PGT). For this purpose, the hybrid transmission structure is divided into two substructures, which achieve different operation modes respectively.
