In the mid-1980s, scientists discovered a spring atmospheric ozone hole over Antarctica, revealing the threat of human-made ozone-depleting substances to the atmosphere. The Antarctic ozone hole located 10 to 20 km above sea level, also aff...
Generalized sparse codes for non-Gaussian channels: Code design, algorithms, and applications [0.03%]
非高斯信道下的广义稀疏码：编译码设计、算法及其应用
Zhao Chen,Zhen Sun,Yukui Pei et al.
Zhao Chen et al.
In this paper, generalized sparse (GS) codes are proposed to support reliable and efficient transmission over non-Gaussian channels. Specifically, by expanding the single-parity check (SPC) code constraints with powerful algebraic codes, GS...

Peng Zhang et al.
Flavins and siderophores secreted by various plants, fungi and bacteria under iron (Fe) deficient conditions play important roles in the biogeochemical cycling of Fe in the environment. Although the mechanisms of flavin and siderophore medi...
Highly sensitive salinity sensor based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer with double-C fiber [0.03%]
一种基于双C型光纤Mach-Zehnder干涉仪的高灵敏度盐度传感器
Ya-Nan Zhang,Like Li,Jincheng Zhao et al.
Ya-Nan Zhang et al.
This paper proposes a highly sensitive, compact, and low-cost optical fiber salinity sensor based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The sensor is constructed using a single mode fiber (SMF) - no-core fiber - double-C fiber (DCF) - NCF-SMF...
