Patchiness of plankton ecosystem structure due to nutrient mixing along the shelf edge in the North Sea by Axelle Cordier, Jørgen Bendtsen, Niels Daugbjerg, Nikolaj From, Sigrún Huld Jónasdóttir, Erik Askov Mousing, Jens Tang Christensen, Teresa Silva, Katherine Richardson

“…Here, we demonstrate that phytoplankton communities in this region tend to be dominated by larger cells (estimated from percentage of chlorophyll captured on a 10 μm filter) than beyond the shelf edge. Fv/Fm (PSII electron transport capacity) corrected for photoinhibition in the surface layer correlated in this study with the percentage of chlorophyll captured on a 10 µm filter (assumed to be large cells), suggesting that the phytoplankton community was responding to increased nutrients in the euphotic zone by increasing photosynthetic efficiency and altering community composition. …”

Key technologies of satellite communications aided by reconfigurable holographic surfaces by Xinyuan HU, Ruoqi DENG, Boya DI, Hongliang ZHANG, Lingyang SONG

“…Ultra-dense low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication networks can overcome the scarcity of spectrum resources and the limited coverage of traditional terrestrial networks, and thus have the potential to provide high data rate services and global massive connectivity for terrestrial users.However, due to the high mobility of the satellites, LEO satellite networks put more stringent requirements on antenna technologies in terms of accurate beam steering and high antenna gain.Reconfigurable holographic surface (RHS), as a new type of metamaterial antenna, is investigated to assist LEO satellite communications.The RHS can electronically control the metamaterial units by leveraging the holographic principle to generate desired directional beams.Based on the hardware structure and holographic working principle of RHS, an RHS-assisted multi-satellite communication scheme was proposed, which considered both the LEO satellite tracking scheme and the data transmission scheme.A holographic beamforming optimization algorithm was also designed to maximize the sum rate.Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and demonstrat that the RHS provids a more cost-effective way to support satellite communications than the conventional phased array antennas.…”

Enhancing Performance of SnO2-Based Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Using ZnO Passivation Layer by W. M. N. M. B. Wanninayake, K. Premaratne, R. M. G. R. Rajapakse

“…Even though SnO2 shows high election mobility when compared to the semiconductor material commonly used in DSCs, the cell performance of SnO2-based DSCs is considerably low due to high electron recombination. This recombination effect can be reduced through the use of ultrathin coating layer of ZnO on SnO2 nanoparticles surface. …”
