Effects of a 6-month rowing training program in breast cancer survivors. by Mateo Real-Pérez, José Carlos Fernández-García, Juan Gavala-González

“…In addition, variables associated with physical fitness also improved including leg strength (3.04 cm), dominant handgrip strength (4.24 kgf), non-dominant handgrip strength (3.49 kgf), aerobic endurance (78.35 m) and muscle flexibility (3.96 cm). We can therefore conclude that a rowing-based exercise program is an effective strategy to improve physical fitness in this type of population, yielding improvements in both anthropometric measurements and basic physical capacity variables, essential factors for better health and quality of life.…”

Research progress of optical signal processing with orbital angular momentum by Jun LIU, Jian WANG

“…Light beams carrying OAM (orbital angular momentum) exploit the transverse spatial distribution of photons and have helical phase front.In recent years, similar to the WDM (wavelength-division multiplexing) technology, OAM multiplexing technology has attracted widespread interest and made remarkable progress in high-speed and large-capacity optical signal transmission.It is worth noting that, optical signal processing is also the key technology of optical communication systems in addition to optical signal transmission.A complete OAM-based optical communication network system includes both OAM multiplexing transmission along network links and OAM signal processing at network nodes.The research progress of optical signal processing with OAM were reviewed, and different optical signal processing functions with OAM and the various OAM-based optical signal processing technologies in different application scenarios were comprehensively summarized.Meanwhile, the future development trend of optical signal processing with OAM was analyzed and its prospect was discussed.The optical signal processing technologies with OAM improve the OAM-based space-division multiplexing optical communication systems, which is expected to provide solutions for realizing efficient and flexible information management of OAM and addressing the new capacity crunch of optical communications.…”

5G network stereo coverage scheme in subway scenario by Xi WANG, Zheng YANG, Peng ZHANG, Qin SHU, Xin PAN

“…As an urban artery and popular means of transportation, the subway is the most sustainable way of transportation.With the increase in operating mileage and passenger volume of subway and other rail transit, it faces greater challenges in operation, maintenance, security, scheduling, and other aspects.There is an urgent need for information technology to improve the level of subway operation services.While the foundation of subway informatization is effective indoor network coverage.At present, there are coverage requirements of multiple scenario such as outdoor wide area, indoor enclosed static scenes, and indoor enclosed high-speed sports scenes.For different coverage scenarios, if the same network method is chosen for coverage, there may be problems of high cost and poor coverage effect.Therefore, for the coverage of the subway network, it is necessary to flexibly combine macro station, micro station, room separation, leakage cable and other methods, combined with resource block (RB) guarantee, automatic handover, automatic login and other guarantee technologies, to meet the requirements of the network’s indicators such as insensitive switching, high data rate, low latency, high capacity, and large-scale connection under the optimal cost conditions, to ensure the normal operation of toB and toC business in subway scenarios.The 5G network stereo coverage scheme was studied in subway scenario, providing important reference for the coverage of other subway specialized networks.…”
