Accurate measurements of slice electron beam parameters at the undulator in seeded free-electron lasers by Enrico Allaria, Paolo Cinquegrana, Miltcho B. Danailov, Eugenio Ferrari, Fabian Pannek, Giuseppe Penco, Eleonore Roussel, Carlo Spezzani

“…The operation of modern free-electron lasers (FELs) necessitates precise knowledge of electron beam properties at the undulator to ensure the level of control required by increasingly demanding experiments. In seeded FELs, where only electrons interacting with the seed laser contribute to the process, it is crucial to determine the local values of these properties. …”

Improvement Measures for Waterlogging Prevention and Control Standards of Highly Built-up Areas by ZHANG Xiaoju, REN Dawei

“…For highly built-up urban areas,further improving the waterlogging prevention and control standards and refining the waterlogging prevention and control system with a limited land use space are problems demanding prompt investigation.Taking Shenzhen's improvement strategies for waterlogging prevention and control standards as an example,this paper analyzed the main points and applicability of several measures,including source optimization,vertical adjustment,improvement of pipe network standards,multi-aspect drainage system,diversified detention measures,and joint control of flood and waterlogging.By investigating representative basins,this paper also built a Mike Flood model to evaluate the effects of different waterlogging prevention and control schemes.The results show that an 85% reduction of waterlogging risk areas can be achieved by comprehensively applying the waterlogging prevention and control measures according to local conditions under a once-in-a-hundred-year rainstorm,indicating the efficacy of those measures.The results provide a reference for cities to develop improvement strategies for waterlogging prevention and control standards under similar conditions.…”

Design of amplifying information metasurface for enhancing signal coverage by Lijie WU, Hanqing YANG, Qiang CHENG, Tiejun CUI

“…Traditional information metasurfaces can be used in wireless relay systems to control the propagation direction of electromagnetic waves due to their capability to control the amplitude and phase.However, owing to the lack of signal amplification function, these metasurfaces have a limited operating distance.Thus, a large size of metasurfaces is usually demanded to realize the signal coverage of dead zones.To solve this problem, an amplifying information metasurface was designed to realize the 2 bit phase manipulation and signal amplification function within the broad band from 2.7 to 3.1 GHz.Furthermore, a power dividing and combining network was introduced to combine the 1×8 metasurface elements into an array with only one amplifier, which greatly reduced the number of amplifiers, the hardware cost, and the power consumption.The simulation results indicate that the array can realize beamforming and signal amplification over a broad band.Therefore, the proposed amplifying information metasurface array may find important applications in wireless relay systems and provide a new solution to enhancing the signal coverage and reducing the size of the metasurface array.…”
