A pruning method of artificial neural network based nonlinear equalizer (ANN-NLE) is proposed and validated for single-sideband 4-ary pulse amplitude modulation (SSB-PAM4) in IM/DD system. As a classifier, ANN is capable to form a complex nonlinear boundary among different classifications, which is considered as an appropriate way to mitigate the nonlinear impairments in optical communication system. In this paper, first, we introduce the operation principle of the traditional linear equalizer (LE) and NLE such as volterra equalizer (VE). Then we make an analogy among the LE, VE and ANN-NLE. After that, a novel pruning method is applied to reduce the complexity of ANN. The BER performance of ANN-NLE outperforms VE after fiber transmission. After 60 km fiber transmission, ANN-NLE decreases the BER by about one order of magnitude compared to VE. By implementing the proposed pruning method, the connections of ANN reduced by a factor of 10x while keeping the BER under the threshold of 3.8x10.

Foam materials hold great promise in construction and packaging applications. However, the non-biodegradability and poor thermal stability of petroleum-based foams present serious environmental and safety concerns. It is crucial to develop sustainable, eco-friendly foam fabrication methods that balance environmental responsibility with high performance.

Leveraging real-time eye tracking, foveated rendering optimizes hardware efficiency and enhances visual quality virtual reality (VR). This approach leverages eye-tracking techniques to determine where the user is looking, allowing the system to render high-resolution graphics only in the foveal region-the small area of the retina where visual acuity is highest, while the peripheral view is rendered at lower resolution. However, modern deep learning-based gaze-tracking solutions often exhibit a long-tail distribution of tracking errors, which can degrade user experience and reduce the benefits of foveated rendering by causing misalignment and decreased visual quality.

In industrial environments, slurry density detection models often suffer from performance degradation due to concept drift. To address this, this article proposes an intelligent detection method tailored for slurry density in concept drift data streams. The method begins by building a model using Gaussian process regression (GPR) combined with regularized stochastic configuration.

Prunes are highly regarded as a functional fruit owing to their abundance of vitamin and dietary fiber. Cold plasma (CP) treatment has been demonstrated to enhance the activity of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant substances. We explored the effects of CP treatment (0, 6, 9, 12 min) on the preservation of Prunes and analyzed the preservation mechanism from the perspective of antioxidant metabolism.
