25 Gbit/s transmission performance using duo-binary detection with 10 Gbit/s-PON receiver by Yongjia YIN, Yong GUO, Zhuang MA

“…IEEE has formed the 100 Gbit/s-EPON Task Force to develop next 100 Gbit/s-PON standards，and the duo-binary(DB) detection is one of the baseband technology options.25 Gbit/s DB detection transmission performance with 10 Gbit/s-PON receiver was been experimentally demonstrated.Because the bandwidth of 10 Gbit/s- PON receiver is obviously limited,the 25 Gbit/s DB output signal from 10 Gbit/s-PON receiver will be affected by the inter-symbol interference(ISI).The experiment results show that the system receiving sensitivity based on direct decision method is only -22 dBm.However,the system receiving sensitivity can be up to -24.5 dBm by using the most simplified maximum likelihood sequence estimation(MLSE) soft decision method.…”

Wood versus Plant Fibers: Similarities and Differences in Composite Applications by Bo Madsen, E. Kristofer Gamstedt

“…The work on cellulose fiber composites is typically strictly divided into two separated research fields depending on the fiber origin, that is, from wood and from annual plants, representing the two different industries of forest and agriculture, respectively. The present paper evaluates in parallel wood fibers and plant fibers to highlight their similarities and differences regarding their use as reinforcement in composites and to enable mutual transfer of knowledge and technology between the two research fields. …”
