Af...An integrated novel method of recognizing huge target is described that combines some relatively mature image processing techniques such as edge detection, thresholding, morphology, image segmentation and so forth. After thresholding the edge image obtained by using Sobel operator, erosion is firstly used to reduce noise and extrusive pixels; then dilation is used to expand some separated pixels into various regions, after that the image segmentation technique is utilized to distinguish the target region with a criterion. The location of the target is also offered. Each technique adopted herein seems not complicated at all, the experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the combination of these techniques. It is its high computational speed and remarkable robustness resulting from its simplicity that make the method promise to be applied in practical problems requiring real time processing.展开更多

Cryo-ET enables the direct observation of dynamic macromolecular architectures of bio-samples in their naturally occurring physiological state, without any harmful artifacts introduced by heavy metal staining, dehydration, and chemical fixation, which occur in traditional transmission electron microscopy. Over decades, cryo-ET has been providing insights into numerous aspects of cellular biology by revealing the pristinely preserved ultra-structures of different cellular components comprising the crowded and complex environment of the cell, thus, bridging the gap between cellular biology and structural biophysics. In this paper, we review the fundamentals of this technique, its recent advances in optics, detection devices, and computational algorithms. The enhancement of our understanding of structural cellular biology by combining these improvements, when integrated with other methods, such as cryo-focused ion beam milling,correlative light and electron microscopy, is discussed via a few examples from research groups worldwide. We also believe that cryo-ET applications in cell biology continue to provide fundamental insights into the field, revolutionizing structural biology itself.展开更多

The most relevantaspect to be studied and analyzed is the need for a reliable system to handlenonlinear impairments and reduce them. Therefore, this paper examines theinfluence of Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) impairment on the proposed highdata rate Dual polarization–Differential Quadrature phase shift keying (DPDQPSK)system using the Optisystem software. In the beginning, the impactof varied input power on the proposed system’s performance was evaluated interms of QF and BER metrics. More power is used to improve system performance.However, increasing power would raise theFWMeffects. Accordingly,a−10dBminput power and the proposed system are used to reduce the impactof FWM. Additionally, a hybrid amplification method is proposed to enhancesystem performance by utilizing the major amplification methods of erbiumdopedfiber amplifier (EDFA): semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) andRadio optical amplifier (ROA). The evaluation demonstrates that the OAEDFAoutperformed the other two key amplification techniques of (EDFASOA)and (EDFA-ROA) in improving Quality factor (QF) and Bit error rate(BER) system results for all distances up to 720 km. Consequently, the methodcontributes to minimizing the impact of FWM. In the future, other forms ofnonlinearity will be investigated and studied to quantify their impact on theproposed system.展开更多

文摘We experimentally demonstrate the transmission of discrete multi-tone(DMT)millimeter-wave(mm-wave)signals over a 1.2-km distance at the D-band(110–170 GHz)in a cost-effective intensity-modulation and direct-detection(IM/DD)communication system.In the experiment,we successfully achieve the transmission of DMT-QPSK and DMT-16QAM mm-wave signals over multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)links.After the 1.2-km free-space transmission,the bit error rate(BER)of the DMT-16QAM is below the 25%soft decision forward error correction(25%SD-FEC)threshold of 4×10^(-2),with a maximum net bit rate of 24.62 Gbit/s achieved in this system.

文摘Phonon,the collective excitation of lattice vibration in the crystal,has been put forward as a means to search for light dark matter.However,the accurate modeling of the multi-phonon production process is challenging in theory.The anharmonicity of the crystal must be taken into account,as it has a significant impact on dark matter-nucleus scattering cross section in the low dark matter mass region.Notably,such an effect is sensitive to the velocity distribution of the dark matter halo.In this work,we consider the potential dark matter substructures indicated by the recent Gaia satellite observation and investigate their impact on the anharmonicity of the silicon crystal.By employing the likelihood analysis with the Asimov dataset,we present the expected sensitivity of dark matter-nucleus interactions,which can differ from the standard halo model by a factor of 2-3.
文摘An integrated novel method of recognizing huge target is described that combines some relatively mature image processing techniques such as edge detection, thresholding, morphology, image segmentation and so forth. After thresholding the edge image obtained by using Sobel operator, erosion is firstly used to reduce noise and extrusive pixels; then dilation is used to expand some separated pixels into various regions, after that the image segmentation technique is utilized to distinguish the target region with a criterion. The location of the target is also offered. Each technique adopted herein seems not complicated at all, the experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the combination of these techniques. It is its high computational speed and remarkable robustness resulting from its simplicity that make the method promise to be applied in practical problems requiring real time processing.

文摘Accurate information on the location and magnitude of vegetation change in scenic areas can guide the configuration of tourism facilities and the formulation of vegetation protection measures.High spatial resolution remote sensing images can be used to detect subtle vegetation changes.The major objective of this study was to map and quantify forest vegetation changes in a national scenic location,the Purple Mountains of Nanjing,China,using multi-temporal cross-sensor high spatial resolution satellite images to identify the main drivers of the vegetation changes and provide a reference for sustainable management.We used Quickbird images acquired in 2004,IKONOS images acquired in 2009,and WorldView2 images acquired in 2015.Four pixel-based direct change detection methods including the normalized difference vegetation index difference method,multi-index integrated change analysis(MIICA),principal component analysis,and spectral gradient difference analysis were compared in terms of their change detection performances.Subsequently,the best pixel-based detection method in conjunction with object-oriented image analysis was used to extract subtle forest vegetation changes.An accuracy assessment using the stratified random sampling points was conducted to evaluate the performance of the change detection results.The results showed that the MIICA method was the best pixel-based change detection method.And the object-oriented MIICA with an overall accuracy of 0.907 and a kappa coefficient of 0.846 was superior to the pixel-based MIICA.From 2004 to 2009,areas of vegetation gain mainly occurred around the periphery of the study area,while areas of vegetation loss were observed in the interior and along the boundary of the study area due to construction activities,which contributed to 79%of the total area of vegetation loss.During 2009–2015,the greening initiatives around the construction areas increased the forest vegetation coverage,accounting for 84%of the total area of vegetation gain.In spite of this,vegetation loss occurred in the interior of the Purple Mountains due to infrastructure development that caused conversion from vegetation to impervious areas.We recommend that:(1)a local multi-agency team inspect and assess law enforcement regarding natural resource utilization;and(2)strengthen environmental awareness education.
文摘The differential event rate for direct detection of dark matter,both the time averaged and the modulated one due to the motion of the Earth,are discussed.The calculations focus on relatively light cold dark matter candidates (WIMP) and low energy transfers.It is shown that for sufficiently light WIMPs the extraction of relatively large nucleon cross sections is possible.Furthermore for some WIMP masses the modulation amplitude may change sign,meaning that,in such a case,the maximum rate may occur six months later than naively expected.This effect can be exploited to yield information about the mass of the dark matter candidate,if and when the observation of the modulation of the event rate is established.

文摘Cryo-electron tomography（cryo-ET） is a cutting-edge technology providing three-dimensional in situ ultra-structural information of macromolecular machineries, organelles, and eukaryotic cells in their native environment at an unprecedented level of detail. Cryo-ET enables the direct observation of dynamic macromolecular architectures of bio-samples in their naturally occurring physiological state, without any harmful artifacts introduced by heavy metal staining, dehydration, and chemical fixation, which occur in traditional transmission electron microscopy. Over decades, cryo-ET has been providing insights into numerous aspects of cellular biology by revealing the pristinely preserved ultra-structures of different cellular components comprising the crowded and complex environment of the cell, thus, bridging the gap between cellular biology and structural biophysics. In this paper, we review the fundamentals of this technique, its recent advances in optics, detection devices, and computational algorithms. The enhancement of our understanding of structural cellular biology by combining these improvements, when integrated with other methods, such as cryo-focused ion beam milling,correlative light and electron microscopy, is discussed via a few examples from research groups worldwide. We also believe that cryo-ET applications in cell biology continue to provide fundamental insights into the field, revolutionizing structural biology itself.

文摘The demonstration of a higher data rate transmission system was amajor aspect to be considered by researchers in recent years. The most relevantaspect to be studied and analyzed is the need for a reliable system to handlenonlinear impairments and reduce them. Therefore, this paper examines theinfluence of Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) impairment on the proposed highdata rate Dual polarization–Differential Quadrature phase shift keying (DPDQPSK)system using the Optisystem software. In the beginning, the impactof varied input power on the proposed system’s performance was evaluated interms of QF and BER metrics. More power is used to improve system performance.However, increasing power would raise theFWMeffects. Accordingly,a−10dBminput power and the proposed system are used to reduce the impactof FWM. Additionally, a hybrid amplification method is proposed to enhancesystem performance by utilizing the major amplification methods of erbiumdopedfiber amplifier (EDFA): semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) andRadio optical amplifier (ROA). The evaluation demonstrates that the OAEDFAoutperformed the other two key amplification techniques of (EDFASOA)and (EDFA-ROA) in improving Quality factor (QF) and Bit error rate(BER) system results for all distances up to 720 km. Consequently, the methodcontributes to minimizing the impact of FWM. In the future, other forms ofnonlinearity will be investigated and studied to quantify their impact on theproposed system.

文摘A general formula for the dispersion limit of single-mode-fiber IM/DD (Intensity Modulation /Direct Detection) systems is derived for arbitrary given normalized pulse width P, eye opening penalty X and source linewidth enchancement factor α. From the comparison with published theoretical results, computer simulation and experimental data, its validity and convenience in system design and evaluation are shown. Using this simple and general formula, one can easily obtain the dispersion limit of various fiber types under different working conditions in IM/DD systems.

文摘The carrier-free phase-retrieval(CF-PR)receiver can reconstruct the optical field information only from two de-correlated intensity measurements without the involvement of a continuous-wave optical carrier.Here,we propose a digital subcarrier multiplexing(DSM)-enabled CF-PR receiver with hardware-efficient and modulation format-transparent merits.By numerically retrieving the optical field information of 56 GBaud DSM signals with QPSK/16QAM/32QAM modulation after 80-km standard single-mode fiber(SSMF)transmission,we identify that the DSM enabled CF-PR receiver is beneficial in reducing the implementation complexity of the CF-PR process,in comparison with the traditional single-carrier counterpart,because the lower symbol rate of each subcarrier is helpful in reducing the implementation complexity of multiple chromatic dispersion compensations and emulations during the PR iteration.Moreover,the DSM-enabled CF-PR receiver is verified to be robust toward various transmission imperfections,including transmitter-side laser linewidth and its wavelength drift,receiver-side time skew,and amplitude imbalance between two intensity tributaries.Finally,the superiority of the DSM-enabled CF-PR receiver is experimentally verified by recovering the optical field information of 25 GBaud 16QAM signals,after 40-km SSMF transmission for the first time.Thus,the DSM-enabled CF-PR receiver is promising for high-capacity photonic interconnection with direct detection.
