In this paper, it is investigated that the limitation due to the asymmetry of optical power and chromatic dispersion with respect to optical phase conjugator (OPC) for compensating optical signal distortion in WDM system is overcomed by using OPC position offset and optimal dispersion coefficients of fiber sections, which depend on OPC position offset. It is confirmed that overall WDM channels are efficiently compensated by applying the optimal parameter values obtained from the proposed method into 24 channels ${\times}40$ Gbps WDM system with non zero - dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) of 1, 000 km, such as power penalties of inter-channel are reduce to almost 3.5 dB from the infinite value. It is also confirmed that the flexible design of WDM system with OPC is possible by using the optimal parameters, in which OPC is placed at ${\pm}15km$ from 500 km for efficiently compensating overall channels. Thus, the methods proposed in this research will be expected to alternate with the method of making a symmetrical distribution of power and local dispersion in real optical link which generates a serious problem if it was not made but it is the condition in the case of applying the OPC into multi-channels WDM system.

According to the results for the thermodynamic stability of feed-stuff dust, there are little change of initiation temperature of heat generation and heating value for used particle size. But initiation temperature of heat generation decreased with high heating rate whereas decomposition heat increased with particle size. Using the supporting gas, O2, initiation temperature of heat generation decreased remarkably than using the inert gas, N2, and heating value increased as twenty times under the same condition. When the ignition energy is given from the outside, used fine particle which can float in the air easily reacted tremendously with oxygen. Average maximum explosion pressure was 6.88 Kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 80/100 mesh.

Current growth in the deer industry is 20% per annum as the demand increases for venison in Europe, including the increased use in Asia of antlers as a natural medicine by humans. The deer industry in Australia has developed rapidly, but farm profitability has fluctuated markedly. The knowledge on deer farming has largely been adopted from New Zealand (NZ) and the United Kingdom (UK) although the environmental conditions in these deer growing countries differ markedly from Australia. The practice used for weaning is one of the key factors influencing the profitability of the industry. However, a wide range in weaning dates are practised by farmers leading to the question of whether deer should be weaned after mating to reduce the stress during weaning or should they be weaned in the pre-rut period to allow does to recover their body condition for the next reproduction cycle. This review examines the effect of weaning time on the performance of does and hinds and the subsequent growth rate of the fawns and calves. Gaps in knowledge of weaning procedures and nutritional management for early weaned deer are identified.

This paper considers physical-layer security protocols in multicast cognitive radio (CR) networks. In particular, we propose dual-hop cooperative decode-and-forward (DF) and randomize-and-forward (RF) schemes using partial relay selection method to enhance secrecy performance for secondary networks. In the DF protocol, the secondary relay would use same codebook with the secondary source to forward the source's signals to the secondary destination. Hence, the secondary eavesdropper can employ either maximal-ratio combining (MRC) or selection combining (SC) to combine signals received from the source and the selected relay. In RF protocol, different codebooks are used by the source and the relay to forward the source message secretly. For each scheme, we derive exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions of secrecy outage probability (SOP), non-zero secrecy capacity probability (NzSCP) in both independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) and independent but non-identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) networks. Moreover, we also give a unified formula in an integral form for average secrecy capacity (ASC). Finally, our derivations are then validated by Monte-Carlo simulations.

Tic and TiN layers were deposited on the stainless steel substrate by the reactive RF sputtering. Ar was used for sputtering gas and CzHz and Nz were used for reaction gas. Deposition rate increased linearly to the applied RF power, and decreased as the partial pressure ratio of sputter gas to reactive gas increased. The thin layers were stoichiometric at the partial pressure ratio of 0.03 for Tic and at partial pressure ratio of 0.05 for TiN. The morphologies and structures of the thin layers were investigated by AES, SEM and TEM. In addition, N+ ion was implanted to Tic and the resulting influence on the film and annealing effects were also examined.

In this study, the performance of underground water pipeline system affected by earthquakes is examined by using data acquired after MW 6.2 February 22, 2011 earthquake in Christchurch, NZ. Water pipeline repair rates, expressed as repairs/km, for different types of pipe are evaluated inside the areas of which liquefaction induced by permanent ground deformation was observed and assessed relative to differential settlement and lateral ground strain, calculated from high resolution LiDAR data acquired before and after each seismic event. The earthquake performance of underground water pipeline systems associated with permanent ground deformation is summarized in this paper. The results show that highly ductile polyethylene water pipelines has a high earthquake performance.

In this paper, we propose new simple schemes for all-optical serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial data format converters based on a semiconductor laser amplifier in a loop mirror (SLALOM) for all-optical data processing. They have the advantages of simple and easily expandable structure, efficient operation and easy implementation. We implement the proposed all-optical data converters. and experimentally demonstrate their operation.

The construction industry, one of the biggest producers of greenhouse emissions, is under a lot of pressure as a result of growing worries about how climate change may affect local communities. Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has emerged as a feasible choice for construction materials as a result of the environmental issues connected to the manufacture of cement. The findings of this study contribute to the development of machine learning methods for estimating the properties of eco-friendly concrete, which might be used in lieu of traditional concrete to reduce CO₂ emissions in the building industry. In the present work, the compressive strength (f_c) of GPC is calculated using random forests regression (RFR) methodology where natural zeolite (NZ) and silica fume (SF) replace ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS). From the literature, a thorough set of experimental experiments on GPC samples were compiled, totaling 254 data rows. The considered RFR integrated with artificial hummingbird optimization (AHA), black widow optimization algorithm (BWOA), and chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA), abbreviated as ARFR, BRFR, and CRFR. The outcomes obtained for RFR models demonstrated satisfactory performance across all evaluation metrics in the prediction procedure. For R² metric, the CRFR model gained 0.9988 and 0.9981 in the train and test data set higher than those for BRFR (0.9982 and 0.9969), followed by ARFR (0.9971 and 0.9956). Some other error and distribution metrics depicted a roughly 50% improvement for CRFR respect to ARFR.

We study the class $C{\mathcal{V}} ({\Omega})$ of analytic functions f in the unit disk ${\mathbb{D}}=\{z{\in}{\mathbb{C}}$ : ${\mid}z{\mid}$ < 1} of the form $f(z)=z+{\sum}_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n$ satisfying $$1+\frac{zf^{{\prime}{\prime}}(z)}{f^{\prime}(z)}{\in}{\Omega},\;z{\in}{\mathbb{D}}$$, where ${\Omega}$ is a convex and proper subdomain of $\mathbb{C}$ with $1{\in}{\Omega}$. Let ${\phi}_{\Omega}$ be the unique conformal mapping of $\mathbb{D}$ onto ${\Omega}$ with ${\phi}_{\Omega}(0)=1$ and ${\phi}^{\prime}_{\Omega}(0)$ > 0 and $$k_{\Omega}(z)={\displaystyle\smashmargin{2}{\int\nolimits_{0}}^z}{\exp}\({\displaystyle\smashmargin{2}{\int\nolimits_{0}}^t}{\zeta}^{-1}({\phi}_{\Omega}({\zeta})-1)d{\zeta}\)dt$$. Let $z_0,z_1{\in}{\mathbb{D}}$ with $z_0{\neq}z_1$. As the first result in this paper we show that the region of variability $\{{\log}\;f^{\prime}(z_1)-{\log}\;f^{\prime}(z_0)\;:\;f{\in}C{\mathcal{V}}({\Omega})\}$ coincides wth the set $\{{\log}\;k^{\prime}_{\Omega}(z_1z)-{\log}\;k^{\prime}_{\Omega}(z_0z)\;:\;{\mid}z{\mid}{\leq}1\}$. The second result deals with the case when ${\Omega}$ is the right half plane ${\mathbb{H}}=\{{\omega}{\in}{\mathbb{C}}$ : Re ${\omega}$ > 0}. In this case $CV({\Omega})$ is identical with the usual normalized class of convex univalent functions on $\mathbb{D}$. And we derive the sharp upper bound for ${\mid}{\log}\;f^{\prime}(z_1)-{\log}\;f^{\prime}(z_0){\mid}$, $f{\in}C{\mathcal{V}}(\mathbb{H})$. The third result concerns how far two functions in $C{\mathcal{V}}({\Omega})$ are from each other. Furthermore we determine all extremal functions explicitly.
