Unified ultraviolet communication and sensing:modeling and system optimization by Chen GONG, Yuchen PAN, Zhengyuan XU

“…Currently, there exist few communication works which combine with sensing.It is necessary to build up a unified communication and sensing signal model and system joint design optimization framework.Based on this, a unified ultraviolet communication and sensing framework was proposed, consisting of a transmitter, a sensing detector and a communication receiver.The transmitter sent modulated signals to the communication receiver for information transmission.Due to the non-line of sight scattering effect, certain components of the transmitted signals reached the unknown target which further reflected to the sensing detector for target detection.Two performance metrics for communication and sensing were considered, including the mutual information between the transmitted symbol and the signal at the communication receiver, and the miss detection probability for the target detector.The relationship between the two metrics and the transmission parameters was further analyzed, including the transmission power for the high-level signal, the transmission power for the low-level signal, and the prior probabilities.The results demonstrate a tradeoff between the communication performance metric and sensing performance metric.It is also shown that the power for the high-level signal should be set to be the peak power, and the power for the low-level signal and the prior probabilities should be optimized, to minimize the miss detection probability given a lower bound on the mutual information.…”

Aude Thuries, L’apparition de la danse : construction et émergence du sens dans le mouvement. À partir de la philosophie de Susanne Langer by Aude Thuries

“…Sense is a complex notion, which has been variously conceptualized in the course of dance history but merely investigated.In order to do so, we use the the works of Susanne Langer, a 20th century American philosopher whose writings explore the concept of “symbol”. She elaborated an original thought about dance and came up with concepts that allowed her to circumscribe the symbolic processes happening happening in the non-discursive practices, in art especially.Rather than looking at dance from an ontological point of view or as a category that gathers certain types of moves, we choose to study it as something that may appear on an intermittent basis. …”

Héros malgré lui : le bureau de la signature du traité de Versailles by Claire Bonnotte Khelil

“…Exhibited for many years in the Salon du Conseil, part of the Grands Appartements circuit, it is now on display in the chateau’s new history gallery, which opened in September 2023. A symbol of the First World War, and viewed through this single prism since 1919, the desk has followed a trajectory comparable to that of a film actor: a total unknown, propelled for a few hours into the diplomatic limelight, who achieved international fame, still present 100 years after the First World War.…”

‘An unbidden guest at your table’: Purity, danger and the house-fly in the middle-class home, c. 1870-1910 by Neil Davie

“…The house-fly was an inescapable part of everyday life in Victorian England, and its presence in the home was an unwelcome reminder to middle-class Victorians that for all their efforts to construct the domestic space as a pristine refuge from the external forces of disorder, pollution and dirt, there was no escaping this atavistic symbol of filth and disease. Despite improvements in public health in the second half of the nineteenth century, the preoccupation with flies in late-Victorian England intensified rather than eased. …”

Capacity analysis for MISO-UWOC systems over GGD weak turbulence with zero boresight pointing error by Yueheng LI, Yining XU, Meiyan JU, Ping HUANG

“…Generalized Gamma distribution (GGD) was chosen to describe the weak oceanic turbulence, and a new hybrid fading channel model that integrated the GGD weak turbulence, the zero boresight pointing error, and the implicit path loss plus multipath propagation characterized by the fading free impulse response (FFIR) was proposed.Subsequently, mathematical expressions for the ergodic capacity and outage capacity of the multiple-input single-output underwater wireless optical communication (MISO-UWOC) systems were derived through the Meijer-G function under a selective transmission (ST) diversity scheme especially while inter-symbol interference (ISI) effects were considered or not.Finally, the correctness of the theoretical formulas derived above was verified by some numerical results.The simulation results show that with the introduction of the ST diversity, the ergodic capacity of the MISO-UWOC systems, taking the transmission ports N=2 as an example, is at least 1.3 times better than that of the conventional point-to-point (P2P) transmission under the same channel condition and system parameters, while the maximum outage capacity decreases is also more than 60% compared with the conventional P2P one.However, the introduction of the ISI will severely reduce this performance improvement.…”
