32 Gb/s multilevel modulation of an 850 nm VCSEL for next-generation datacommunication standards

An 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser is modulated at 32 Gb/s using pulse-amplitude modulation with four levels. Transmitter predistortion generates an optimized modulation waveform, which requires a receiver bandwidth of only 15 GHz. © 2011 OSA.

Comparison of model predictions and speed trial results for a group of 32' wooden trawlers

Speed trial results of six 32' wooden stern, trawlers built to the same design are analyzed to determine the EHP ship Froude number curves in each case and are compared with the model test results of the same design and for the corresponding, displacement, conditions.

Evolution of suitable trawl nets for medium size trawlers - 1: Comparative fishing efficiency between 32 m bulged belly, long wing and four panel trawls

Comparative studies of the efficiency of 32 m bulged belly, long wing and four panel trawls have shown that the bulged belly trawl to be superior to the other nets in catching bottom fishes and column fishes. 40% of the bottom fishes and 48% of the column fishes were caught by the bulged belly trawl. However, for prawn catch, the long wing trawl appears to be better as it landed 52% of the total prawn catch of the three nets. Bulged belly trawl was found to be next only to long wing trawl in this respect.

Fracture toughness of fibrous membranes

Random fibrous networks exist in both natural biological and engineering materials. While the nonlinear deformation of fibrous networks has been extensively studied, the understanding of their fracture behaviour is still incomplete. To study the fracture toughness of fibrous materials, the near-tip region is crucial because failure mechanisms such as fibril rupture occur in this region. The consideration of this region in fracture studies is, however, a difficult task because it involves microscopic mechanical responses at a small length scale. This paper extends our previous finite element analysis by incorporating the microscopic responses into a macroscopic domain by using a submodeling technique. The detailed study of microstructures at crack tips show a stochastic toughness of membranes due to the random nature of fibrous networks. Further, the sizes of crack tip region, which are sufficient to provide a reasonable prediction of fracture behaviour in a specific type of fibrous network, were presented. Future work includes improving the current linear assumption in the macroscopic models to become nonlinear.

不同水体营养状态对和白鱼生长性能的影响

和白鱼分别是抚仙湖的外来鱼类和土著鱼类。本实验比较研究了水体营养状态对二者生长性能的影响。实验鱼养殖在低、中、高三种营养状态的水体中。其中低营养状态水体组又是每一种鱼中、高营养水体组的对照。水体营养状态对和白鱼摄食率、生长速度、饵料转化效率、蛋白贮积率没有显著影响。不同营养状态水体组实验鱼的体蛋白、脂肪、灰分和能量含量没有显著差异。富营养化对两种鱼生长性能的影响是不同的。特定生长率、饵料转化效率、蛋白贮积率和能量贮积率的种间差异值均随着水体营养状态的提高而加大。与对照组相比,较高营养状态水体中

Narrow-channel-spacing 32-channel arrayed-waveguide-grating multiplexer with an innovative alignment method

A 32-channel 50-GHz spaced arrayed-waveguide grating with our innovative configuration has been designed and fabricated. The performance of the device has been fully tested by using a tunable laser light source, optical power meter, and polarization controller. The insertion loss (IS) of the device is 4.2 similar to 7.4 dB. The crosstalk is about -28 clB. The IS uniformity is less than 3.2 dB. With our configuration, the performance of the device has been enhanced effectively and the difficulty in alignment process has been decreased obviously.
