High-Performance Concrete. Innovation and Supply Chain for Public Art and Urban Furniture by Rossella Maspoli

“…The current availability of UHPC (Ultra-High-Performance Concrete) concrete mixes with an adaptive and multi-performance behaviour has transformed the concept of ‘matter’ itself, allowing the construction of complex shapes and designs, and boosting the use of the compound in different sectors, thus opening new design paths following the concept of ‘non-standard’ in advanced neo-handicraft production processes. …”

Blind frequency tracking based on time-domain spreading for MB-OFDM-UWB systems by Li-jun GE, Hong WU

“…A blind carrier frequency offset (CFO) tracking algorithm based on time-domain spreading (TDS) was proposed for multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra wide band systems.The scheme uses data symbols and the mapped TDS ones to develop time and frequency-domain estimators and tracking loops respectively.Simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme has a better performance in tracking accuracy than pilots-aided ones.Under the SNR of 10dB,the mean square root errors of the residual CFO reach 2 10^-4,and the bit error rate of the system is 10^-6× of magnitude.…”

METHODICAL APPROACHES TO COLLECTING AND ANALYZING THE EXHALED BREATH CONDENSATE by Ya.M. Avramenko, O.A. Borzykh

“…A significant limitation of the study of EBC in clinical practice is the absence of generally accepted standards for its collection and study of the content of biological substances containing ultra low concentrations in it. The growing scientific and practical interest in this issue led to the organization of the target group American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society and the development of recommendations for the collection of condensate. …”

Information timeliness metrics and research progress for 6G network by Jingzhou SUN, Lehan WANG, Yuxuan SUN, Sheng ZHOU, Zhisheng NIU

“…In the future 6G network, machine-type communication will dominate the network traffic.Many vertical applications, such as networked autonomous driving and industrial internet of things, will become new growth points.Such applications usually consist of the collection of status information and distribution of control signals, requiring ultra-low latency.However, this requirement is hard to meet with a large number of end nodes and limited communication resources.In view of this confliction, it was pointed out that the freshness of information should be considered in the status update system instead of just latency.Furthermore, according to the degree of utilization of status information, various measures of information freshness were introduced, and related representative work was summarized.Finally, the future research directions of information freshness and key questions that need to be answered were discussed.…”

« Inverser la plaisanterie afin de secouer le joug » ou comment vicier un stéréotype by Jacqueline Berben

“…The tale is a not-so-subtle deconstruction/reconstruction of symbols deeply embedded in the culture of the American South and its ultra-conservative values. Everett endows his protagonist with his favorite tools – irony, humor, artifice – by turning the Confederate flag into a Black Power symbol and laying African American claim to the Southern anthem, “Dixie”. …”

Research and experiment of open quantum cryptography communication system architecture and co-fiber transmission technology by Jianjun TANG, Junjie LI, Chengliang ZHANG, Yuhua CONG, Haomin GONG

“…Based on the study of the mechanism of quantum encryption system,the system architecture of open quantum cryptographic communication was proposed.In order to better integrate with the existing communication system,a quantum key distribution (QKD) system and a large capacity optical communication co-fiber transmission scheme were proposed,and the QKD system and 80×100 Gbit/s DWDM were verified through experiments.The feasibility of the system common fiber transmission was realized under the condition of ultra 100 km common fiber transmission,the QKD bit rate ＆gt;1.0 kbit/s and 8 Tbit/s DWDM system without error bit and the practical threshold of the commercial encryption device key rate＆gt;1.0 kbit/s was achieved.…”

Data-driven data transmission of the Internet of things based on sensing spectrum by Xuanheng LI, Yi SUN, Jie WANG, Haixia ZHANG

“…Facing the problem of spectrum shortage caused by the mass data,in order to share as a solution,how operators use the sensing spectrum reasonably to transmit data was studied.Considering the limitation of Internet of things(IoT) devices,the ultra-dense cognitive heterogeneous network architecture was designed,based on traffic demand and perception cost,an optimal access control and perception decision method was designed to maximize network utility.Considering the uncertainty of the perceived spectrum,the optimal programming scheme was modeled as a mixed integer stochastic optimization problem,and a data-driven probabilistic solution method based on statistical characteristics was proposed.In the case of unknown probability distribution of available bandwidth,data transmission requirements meeting various service requests were counted.…”

A novel low cost bidirectional transmission coherent passive optical network system by Shunli QIU, Yi YANG, Rong HU

“…Based on the coherent optical reception technology,a cost-effective structure for the optical network unit (ONU) transceivers in ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network using a single directly modulated laser (DML)was proposed.To reduce the number of required light sources,only one DML was used in both upstream and downstream links.By experimental investigations,the impacts of driving amplitude and bias current on DML's performance were analyzed.Meanwhile,the impact of frequency spacing between upstream and downstream signal and the Rayleigh backscattering interference on system performance were investigated.The method has better performance of system receiving and can effectively reduce the cost and complexity of coherent passive optical network system.…”

Polar codes and polar processing for 6G wireless systems by Kai NIU, Jinchen DAI, Jinnan PIAO

“…As the first type of channel code achieving the channel capacity,polar codes are an important candidate for the 6G data transmission.A polarized processing framework for the 6G systems was proposed.In this framework,in order to fulfill the requirement of ultra-reliable transmission,a high-performance coding scheme of concatenated polar code was designed to approach the channel capacity with finite-length.Then,the polar coded MIMO scheme was devised to match the requirement of the high spectrum efficiency.Finally,the scheme of polar coded non-orthogonal multiple access was investigated to improve the transmission capacity.All these schemes indicate that polar processing can dramatically boost the performance of 6G wireless transmission and become a promising direction.…”

Research on secret key generation based on wireless channel characteristics in body area network by Jingjing HUANG

“…Wireless body area network (WBAN) is a human-centered wireless network.With limitations of power and computation capabilities of WBAN, the significant challenge of ensuring security is how to generate a shared key between two entities based on a lightweight symmetric cryptography.To investigate this issue, a secret key generation scheme in ultra-wideband (UWB) WBAN was designed.In this scheme, the difference of multipath relative delay and its average value were chosen as common random source to reduce key mismatch probability.Furthermore, with the aid of relay, secret key generation rate could be increased.Simulation and test results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve a good tradeoff between key match probability and key generation rate.Furthermore, security analysis of the scheme was also provided to validate its feasibility.…”
