Requirements on the double-cladding Yb-doped fiber (DCYF) for power scaling of diffraction-limited fiber amplifiers are studied in this paper. By considering the limitations of thermal lens and transverse mode instability separately, it is found that the power scaling limit can be enlarged to more-than 100 kW and 80 kW, respectively, with the proper selection of pump and signal wavelengths. It is also found that the requirements on DCYF strongly depend on the wavelength and brightness of pump light. It is predicted that smaller-than 20-µm core diameter is required to achieve the 20-kW output power, as long as the 976-nm pump brightness can be high enough. The requirements on the inner-cladding diameter and cladding-to-core ratio of DCYF are also investigated.

Accurate, practical, and robust evaluation of the battery state of health is crucial to the efficient and reliable operation of electric vehicles. However, the limited availability of large-scale, high-quality field data hinders the development of the battery management system for state of health estimation, lifetime prediction, and fault detection in various applications. In this work, to gain insights into underlying factors limiting battery management system performance in real-world vehicles, we analyze the operational data of 300 diverse electric vehicles over three years to understand the disparities between field data and laboratory battery test data and their effect on state of health estimation.

Spherical harmonics texture extraction for versatile analysis of biological objects.

PLoS Comput Biol

The characterization of phenotypes in cells or organisms from microscopy data largely depends on differences in the spatial distribution of image intensity. Multiple methods exist for quantifying the intensity distribution - or image texture - across objects in natural images. However, many of these texture extraction methods do not directly adapt to 3D microscopy data.

The role of oscillations in grid cells' toroidal topology.

PLoS Comput Biol

January 2025

Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and Centre for Algorithms in the Cortex, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.

Persistent homology applied to the activity of grid cells in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex suggests that this activity lies on a toroidal manifold. By analyzing real data and a simple model, we show that neural oscillations play a key role in the appearance of this toroidal topology. To quantitatively monitor how changes in spike trains influence the topology of the data, we first define a robust measure for the degree of toroidality of a dataset.

Dental ultrasonic scalers are commonly employed in periodontal treatment; however, their ability to roughen tooth surfaces is a worry since roughness may increase plaque production, a key cause of periodontal disease. This research studied the influence of a piezoelectric ultrasonic scaler on the roughness of two distinct flowable composite filling materials. To do this, 10 disc-shaped samples were generated from each of the two flowable composite materials.
