The guard interval (GI) filling with cyclic prefix (CP) is inserted in the conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system in order to be free of the inter-symbol interference (ISI). The frequency spectrum leakage out of band is mitigated by using the time-domain windowing method. Meanwhile, the GI-free OFDM have been studied in order to achieve high efficiency of bandwidth usage. This paper addresses the windowing method of partial response function for this case. It is shown that the information data can be detected precisely and the frequency spectrum leakage is mitigated without loss of bandwidth efficiency.

Epitaxially laterally overgrown GaN on sapphire was used to reduce the number of threading dislocations originating from the interface of the GaN epilayer with the sapphire substrate. The GaN layer above the SiO2 mask area surrounding the window and corresponding to the lateral overgrowth was nearly free of threading dislocations. A high density of threading dislocations was observed in the vicinity of GaN grown in the window regions. InGaN multiquantum well-structure laser diodes (LDs) grown on pure GaN substrates, which were fabricated by removing the sapphire substrate, were demonstrated. The LDs with an output power of 5 mW exhibited a lifetime of more than 290 h and an estimated lifetime of 10,000 h despite a relatively large threshold current density. The far-field pattern of the LDs with a cleaved mirror facet revealed single-mode emission without any interference effects.

Mitotane therapy is associated with many side effects, including thyroid function perturbations mimicking central hypothyroidism, possibly due to laboratory test interference or pituitary direct effects of mitotane. We investigated whether increasing concentrations of mitotane in the therapeutic range might interfere with thyroid hormone assays and evaluated the effects of mitotane on a mouse TSH-producing pituitary cell line. TSH, free T4, and free T3 levels do not significantly change in sera from hypo-, hyper-, or euthyroid patients after addition of mitotane at concentrations in the therapeutic window. In the mouse TαT1 cell line, mitotane inhibits both TSH expression and secretion, blocks TSH response to TRH, and reduces cell viability, inducing apoptosis at concentrations in the therapeutic window. TRH is not capable of rescuing TαT1 cells from the inhibitory effects of mitotane on TSH expression and secretion, which appear after short time treatment and persist over time. Our results demonstrate that mitotane does not interfere with thyroid hormone laboratory tests but directly reduces both secretory activity and cell viability on pituitary TSH-secreting mouse cells. These data represent a possible explanation of the biochemical picture consistent with central hypothyroidism in patients undergoing mitotane therapy and open new perspectives on the direct pituitary effects of this drug.

Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is a promising code domain non-orthogonal multiple-access scheme which is able to support massive connectivity and grant-free transmission in future satellite-based Internet of Things (IoT) communication networks. Traditional grant-free SCMA is based on time synchronization, which is no longer favorable in such satellite communication networks since the amount of signaling generated to keep all transmitters’ time synchronized is impractical for large networks. Moreover, without centralized codebook assignment, grant-free SCMA suffers from codebook collisions which mean more than one terminal selecting the same codebook being interfered. Motivated by these issues, a novel uplink grant-free asynchronous flipped SCMA scheme named AF-SCMA is proposed in this paper. With the concept of flipped diversity, a specific SCMA-encoded packet is transmitted with its flipped replica together. Successive interference cancellation technique combined with a sliding window is adopted to resolve the packet collisions including codebook collisions at the gateway station. The performance of AF-SCMA is investigated via both mathematical analysis and simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed AF-SCMA provides remarkable performance in terms of throughput and packet loss ratio (PLR), and can benefit from the received signal power unbalance.

The accurate determination of seismic attenuation, or [Formula: see text], is useful for signal enhancement and reservoir characterization. To arrive at the necessary accuracy however, a number of issues must be addressed in the measurement technique. Specifically, spectral interference from closely spaced reflections is a major concern, in addition to the assumptions and errors associated with the raypath geometries of the reference and measured reflections. We have developed a robust method for measuring attenuation from prestack surface seismic gathers that helps minimize these issues. In our prestack [Formula: see text]-inversion technique; the presence of spectral interference was first reduced by making use of a variable-window time-frequency transform. To minimize the effects of the remaining interference, we then made use of an inversion scheme operating simultaneously in the frequency and traveltime-difference coordinates. A by-product of this inversion was a collection of the frequency-independent amplitude changes, which in the absence of geometric spreading, contains valuable amplitude variation with angle information, free from attenuation amplitude losses. Furthermore, under the assumption of locally 1D velocity and attenuation distributions, we made use of the [Formula: see text] transform to operate on traces of constant horizontal slowness. This allowed angle-dependent effects in the overburden such as attenuation anisotropy and source or receiver directivity to be eliminated. In the second part of our study, published separately, this technique was also demonstrated upon a shallow 3D seismic survey, and the measurements compared to another Q-estimation technique, as well as measurements from a vertical seismic profile.

Light element data are required for robust and accurate lithogeochemical interpretations and are important components in the study of hydrothermal alteration and mineralization processes. In this contribution we review the latest available portable energy dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) technologies exclusively in the context of light element analysis, with focus on the acquisition of data for Na, Mg, Al and Si. We discuss pXRF hardware design limitations, quantify variables that attenuate X-ray energies through numerical modelling, including common pXRF configurations, and empirically investigate modern pXRF technologies used to mitigate X-ray attenuation and improve light element analysis.The void between the sample and detector is a key issue regarding the success of pXRF light element analysis. Dry-air (normal conditions), vacuum purge and helium flush systems are evaluated. Modelled data that use a nominal sample-detector void of 10 mm show that using helium in lieu of air improves X-ray transmission effectiveness from ≈2% to ≈99% for Na and ≈10% to ≈100% for Mg. Modelled detector window data show that using a graphene detector window in lieu of a traditional beryllium detector window improves X-ray transmission effectiveness for Na from ≈38% to ≈64% and ≈57% to ≈77% for Mg. Progressive X-ray transmission effectiveness equates to ≈63% Na and ≈76% Mg when using a helium-graphene pXRF configuration v. ≈1% for Na and ≈6% Mg when using a traditional in-air beryllium pXRF arrangement (i.e. without sample or X-ray entrance window media).Empirically determined improvements of the resolved signal are more modest than those of modelled X-ray transmission effectiveness data. Instrument noise, spectral overlaps and random counting errors are unavoidable and inherent with the limitations of modern detector technologies. However, the employment of helium with graphene detector window technology allows very precise data to be obtained at significantly shorter scan times (i.e. 20 s, instead of the traditional 60–180 s, i.e. 3–9 times faster): a scan time of 20 s can achieve a precision of ≈18% @ ≈0.4% Na and ≈8% @ ≈0.3% Mg for elemental interference-free samples. Precision will improve with increasing analyte concentration.

Abstract. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) profile retrievals were performed by ship-borne Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) using a compact/low-power spectrometer on the Japanese research vessel Kaiyo during two ocean cruises around Japan and Japan-Bali (Indonesia)-Indian Ocean. DOAS analysis using a 425–450 nm fitting window revealed a clear land–ocean contrast in NO2 differential slant column densities (DSCDs) but poor fitting results and negative values, especially at low elevation angles at low latitudes (< ~20° N). The poor fitting resulted in sparse NO2 volume mixing ratio (VMR) data for the 0–1 km layer after applying our vertical profile retrieval method. In contrast, NO2 VMRs retrieved using fitting results from 460–490 nm are positive even at low latitudes, while they are reasonably similar to those obtained from 425–450 nm at mid-latitudes. Because NO2 DSCD for 425–450 nm shows a negative correlation with water vapor (H2O) DSCD, the poor fitting appears to be due primarily to interference by H2O. We analyzed a 338–370 nm fitting window, which is free from H2O, and found good agreement between NO2 VMRs retrieved from 460–490 nm and 338–370 nm, even at low latitudes, at NO2 VMRs higher than ~0.2 ppbv. The results indicate that the background value of NO2 VMR over the western Pacific and Indian Ocean during the cruises was less than ~0.2 ppbv, with occasional enhancement to levels of ~0.2–0.4 ppbv.

Arginase-1, an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of L-arginine to L-ornithine, is implicated in the tumor immune response and represents an interesting therapeutic target in immuno-oncology. Initiating arginase drug discovery efforts remains a challenge due to a lack of suitable high-throughput assay methodologies. This report describes the combination of self-assembled monolayers and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry to enable the first label-free and high-throughput assay for arginase activity. The assay was optimized for kinetically balanced conditions and miniaturized, while achieving a robust assay (Z-factor > 0.8) and a significant assay window [signal-to-background ratio > 20] relative to fluorescent approaches. To validate the assay, the inhibition of the reference compound nor-NOHA (Nω-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine) was evaluated, and the IC50 measured to be in line with reported results (IC50 = 180 nM). The assay was then used to complete a screen of 175,000 compounds, demonstrating the high-throughput capacity of the approach. The label-free format also eliminates opportunities for false-positive results due to interference from library compounds and optical readouts. The assay methodology described here enables new opportunities for drug discovery for arginase and, due to the assay flexibility, can be more broadly applicable for measuring other amino acid–metabolizing enzymes.

Signals transmitted over long distances through underwater acoustic channels are prone to corruption due to wind interference, ambient noises and various other sources of disturbance. Adaptive filters can be used to extenuate the effect of ambient noise in acoustic signals. A competent technique to denoise acoustic signals using adaptive filters has been proposed. Adaptive filtering techniques such as least mean square (LMS), normalized least mean square (NLMS) and Kalman least mean square (KLMS) have been analyzed based on their performance, with the help of characteristics like signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and mean square error (MSE) for various wind speeds. An exhaustive set of data, collected using a custom made fixture containing two hydrophones, from shallow water regions in Bay of Bengal, have been used to verify the efficacy of this method. Based on the results obtained by simulation and Lab window simulator, hardware has been designed to denoise the useful signal. The defective source signal is passed through a Kalman filter based denoising hardware system. This system performs necessary operations to denoise the defective source signal and the final turnout is made free from ambient noise. The denoised signal is then stored in an external device for future use.

Spread spectrum techniques have a number of different applications, including range finding, synchronisation, anti-jamming systems and multiple access communication systems. In each of these applications the properties of the resulting systems depend heavily on the family of spreading sequences employed. As such, the design of spreading sequences is an important area of research. Two areas of spreading sequence design are of particular interest in this work, combination techniques and Interference Free Window (IFW) sequences. Combination techniques allow a new sequence family to be constructed by combining two or more existing families. Such an approach allows some of the desirable properties of the components to be maintained, whilst mitigating the components' disadvantages. In addition, it can facilitate the construction of large families at a greatly reduced computational cost. Combination families are considered through the construction of two new classes of sequences, modified Unified Complex Hadamard Transform (UCHT) sequences, and combination Oppermann sequences, respectively based on UCHT sequences and periodic Oppermann sequences. Numerical optimisation techniques are employed to demonstrate the favourable performance of sequences from these classes compared to conventional families. Second, IFW sequences are considered. In systems where approximate, but not perfect, synchronisation between different users can be maintained, IFW sequences can be employed to greatly reduce both interference between users and interference resulting from multipath spread of each user's signal. Large Area Synchronous (LAS) sequences are a class of sequences which both result from combination techniques and exhibit an IFW. LAS sequences are produced by combining Large Area (LA) sequences and LS sequences. They have been demonstrated to be applicable to multiple access communication systems, particularly through their use in LAS2000, which was proposed for third generation mobile telephony. Work to date has been restricted to only a very small range of examples of these families. In order to examine a wider range of LAS sequences, the construction and resulting properties of LA and LS families are considered. The conditions an LA family must satisfy are codified here, and algorithms which can be used to construct LA families with given parameters are presented. The construction of LS sequences is considered, and relationship between each of the parameters used in this construction and the properties of the final family is examined. Using this expanded understanding of both these sequence families, a far wider range of LAS families, potentially applicable to a wider range of applications, can be considered. Initially, the merits of proposed sequences are considered primarily through their correlation properties. Both maximum and mean squared correlation values are considered, depending on the context. In order to demonstrate their practical applicability, combination Oppermann, modified UCHT and LAS sequences are employed in a simulated communications system, and the resulting bit error rates are examined.

Abstract The manufacture of a marine propeller typically requires long lead-time to generate 5-axis tool paths. It usually takes several days to manufacture a satisfactory propeller with a general purpose CAD/CAM system. This paper proposes a novel methodology for tool path generation of 5-axis machining of marine propellers. Using the geometric characteristics of propellers, the system first computes check vectors and then generates interference-free tool paths. An iterative NURBS modeling technique is used to improve the accuracy of the models and to increase the productivity. The system has been implemented with C++ and OpenGL graphic library on the Windows system. The system validation and sample results are also given and discussed.

Abstract Several models have been proposed to predict the shaft output characteristics of the vertical axis wind turbine from the aerodynamic characteristics of the blade. However, it has not predicted the output characteristics of the small wind turbine, turbine diameter less than 1 m, even the multiple stream tube model included effect of the momentum reduction. A solidity of the small wind turbine become higher than large, i.e. blades interval of small wind turbine becomes short. Therefore, it expects that the wake of preceding blade influence strongly aerodynamic character of following blade. Thus, we have investigated the relation between wake of rotating turbine and its shaft output characteristics. From result obtain, we had cleared the shaft output character agree with variation of momentum loss of the wake of turbine. Moreover, the relevance between the shaft output characteristics and velocity fluctuation in the wake had been found. In the low tip speed ratio region increasing the shaft output, the periodical component synchronized with motion of the blade remarkably appear in velocity fluctuation, and it disappear near the peak of shaft output. Meanwhile, in the high tip speed ratio region decreasing the shaft output, the turbulent component is dominant in velocity fluctuation. It indicates that the blade-wake interference was affected on shaft output of the small wind turbine. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out a similarity parameter of the shaft output characteristics based on blade-wake interference. The larger the scale of blade wake or slower the advection velocity of it, the higher the possibility that blade wake generated from previous blade interfere to following blade become. For blade-wake interaction, these two parameters which the scale and the advection velocity of blade wake, are important. Thus, I estimated these parameter in this study using the wind turbine model with single blade. From measurement of the blade wake, I found that the scale of the blade wake depends on the ratio of the rotational speed of the turbine to the free stream velocity, and the advection velocity of blade wake depends on the free stream velocity. From these characteristics of blade wake, I suggest a new parameter based on the blade-wake interaction using tip speed ratio, solidity, number of blade, and turbine diameter. The shaft output characteristics of the small wind turbine indicates good similarity for the new parameter.

This study experimentally shows that an oscillatory behavior observed in a trim flight of an ornithopter has a stable limit-cycle oscillation (LCO) characteristics and that the magnitude of the LCO in body pitch dynamics can be suppressed by active tail motion. A free flight of the tested ornithopter is emulated in the wind tunnel using a specially devised tether that provides the minimal mechanical interference to the flight of ornithopter. Due to the symmetric wing motion in forward trim flight, the longitudinal flight dynamics is more focused than the lateral one. The non-contact type sensors are used to measure the time histories of the flight state variables such as wing and tail motions, body pitch angle, and altitude. The tail motion for the pitch LCO reduction is achieved by two actuators: 1) Servo motor for the rigid-body motion of the tail elevation angle, and 2) Macro-Fiber Composite strain actuator for the elastic deformation of the tail camber. The performances of the LCO suppressions are compared in the root-mean-square-error sense and the harmonically activated in-phase tail motion linked to wing motion is observed to effectively reduce the pitch LCO.

This paper describes the application of a filtered-Rayleigh-scattering (FRS) instrument for nonintrusive temperature imaging in a vortex-driven diffusion flame. The FRS technique provides quantitative, spatially correlated temperature data without the flow intrusion or time lag associated with physical probes. Use of a molecular iodine filter relaxes the requirement for clean, particulate-free flowfields and offers the potential for imaging near walls, test section windows and in sooty flames, all of which are preculded in conventional Rayleigh imaging, where background interference from these sources typically overwhelms the weak molecular scattering signal. For combustion applications, FRS allows for full-field temperature imaging without chemical seeding of the flowfield, which makes FRS an attractive alternative to other laser-based imaging methods such as planar laser-induced fluorescencs (PLIF). In this work, the details of our FRS imaging system are presented and temperature measurements from an acoustically forced diffusion flame are provided. The local Rayleigh crosssection is corrected using Raman imaging measurements of the methane fuel molecule, which are then correlated to other major species using a laminar flamelet approach. To our knowledge, this is the first report of joint Raman/FRS imaging for nonpremixed combustion. Measurements are presented from flames driven at 7.5 Hz, where a single vortex stretches the flame, and at 90 Hz, where two consecutive vortices interact to cause a repeatable strain-induced flame-quenching event.

The National Research Council of Canada's Institute for Marine Dynamics in December 1992 undertook to design and commission a new generation model yacht dynamometer capable of testing one third scale models of International America's Cup Class yachts in waves, and half scale models in calm water. A performance specification was set, and it was decided to base the design on flexible link technology similar to that used in wind tunnels. Finite Element models of the design were constructed and theoretically loaded to determine natural frequencies in drag, lift, and roll, as well as system compliance under static loads. The dynamometer is a four-component balance (lift, drag, roll moment, and yaw moment) with a theoretical minimum crosstalk determined by the ratio of flexural to axial compliance of the flexible links, approximately 23,000: 1. In individual cells this reduces the moment delivered to the load cells. In the system, it reduces crosstalk, the theoretical minimum is approximately 1 :4600. In practice, however, the measured cross-talk did not approach the theoretical limit of the dynamometer and a calibration rig was designed to determine the actual crosstalk to be used in software correction of the data. This paper covers the basic design of the dynamometer, error analysis, calibration and crosstalk determination, and repeatability of results. The conclusion is that it is now possible to obtain a quality of data from the tow tank previously obtainable only in wind tunnels. Not only has this made possible a better job of the types of experiments previously done in tow tanks, but has also made possible new experiments. In particular the evaluation of lifting surfaces in the presence of the free surface, and experiments on devices such as strakes to reduce interference drag due to viscous effects, are now possible.
