A polarization fading suppression technique is proposed for distributed interferometric sensing systems, based on matched interference between polarization switched pulses. For each individual sensor, two sets of interferometric outputs are obtained, one corresponding to the interference between two pulses with initially parallel polarization, the other corresponding to that between two pulses with initially orthogonal polarizations. As such, at least one output presents visibility no less than 2/2. By selecting the one with higher visibility for demodulation, the influence of polarization fading can be suppressed significantly, leading to distributed acoustic sensing with notably improved robustness and reliability.

Decoding of polar-coded OFDM systems over multipath fading channels with interleaving and channel state information.

In this paper, we investigate the decoding performance and corresponding decoding strategies for polar-coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system operating under multipath fading channels. Multipath fading channels lead to frequency selective fading of the OFDM signal, resulting in varying levels of noise interference across different subcarriers after equalization. Furthermore, frequency selective fading induces burst errors in the equalized information, thereby significantly degrading the decoding performance.

Carrier-assisted differential detection (CADD) is a promising solution for high-capacity and cost-sensitive short-reach application scenarios, in which the optical field of a complex-valued double-sideband (CV-DSB) signal is reconstructed without using a local oscillator laser. In this work, we propose a polarization division multiplexed asymmetric twin single-sideband CADD (PDM-ATSSB CADD) scheme to realize the optical field recovery of the PDM CV-DSB signals. The polarization fading is solved by using a pair of optical bandpass filters (OBPFs) to suppress the unwanted other polarized offset carrier and signal, and the dual-polarization optical field is recovered by the CADD receiver.

In this work, we aim to unveil the general correlations between the performance of a physical reservoir computing (RC) system and the inherent nonlinear dynamics of the adopted device. Taking the metal-ferroelectric-metal (MFM) capacitor, one of the most popular candidate devices for compute-in-memory (CIM) technology, as the computational platform, we construct a nonlinear dynamical model of polarization in the ferroelectric layer. We then design the physical RC utilizing a single and/or an array of MFM capacitors by analyzing the model's stability and feasible dynamical cases.

Deciphering the Monomeric and Dimeric Conformational Landscapes of the Full-Length TDP-43 and the Impact of the C-Terminal Domain.

The aberrant aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 kDa (TDP-43) in cells leads to the pathogenesis of multiple fatal neurodegenerative diseases. Decoding the proposed initial transition between its functional dimeric and aggregation-prone monomeric states can potentially design a viable therapeutic strategy, which is presently limited by the lack of structural detail of the full-length TDP-43. To achieve a complete understanding of such a delicate phase space, we employed a multiscale simulation approach that unearths numerous crucial features, broadly summarized in two categories: (1) state-independent features that involve inherent chain collapsibility, rugged polymorphic landscape dictated by the terminal domains, high β-sheet propensity, structural integrity preserved by backbone-based intrachain hydrogen bonds and electrostatic forces, the prominence of the C-terminal domain in the intrachain cross-domain interfaces, and equal participation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic (charged and polar) residues in cross-domain interfaces; and (2) dimerization-modulated characteristics that encompass slower collapsing dynamics, restricted polymorphic landscape, the dominance of side chains in interchain hydrogen bonds, the appearance of the N-terminal domain in the dimer interface, and the prominence of hydrophilic (specifically polar) residues in interchain homo- and cross-domain interfaces.

Reliability studies of vanadium redox flow batteries: upper limit voltage effect.

RSC Adv

Battery Materials & Systems Group, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland WA 99352 USA

Article Synopsis
  • All-vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs) are being explored for their long-lasting energy storage potential but struggle with performance decline over time.
  • This study examines how higher upper voltage limits (1.6 V, 1.7 V, and 1.8 V) affect the performance and degradation of a VRFB cell during extended testing (500 cycles).
  • Results show that increased voltage leads to decreased capacity and efficiency, with significant degradation observed particularly at 1.8 V, emphasizing the need for optimized voltage limits to enhance VRFB longevity and inform future predictive models.
