Performance of a novel LED lamp arrangement to reduce SNR fluctuation for multi-user visible light communication systems by Wang, Zixiong, Yu, Changyuan, Zhong, Wende, Chen, Jian, Chen, Wei

“…After time domain zero-forcing (ZF) equalization, the BER performances and channel capacities of 100-Mbit/s and 200-Mbit/s bipolar on-off-keying (OOK) signal with most significant inter-symbol interference (ISI) are very close to that of the channel without any ISI caused by this LED lamp arrangement.…”

Laser-Guide-Star Satellite for Ground-Based Adaptive Optics Imaging of Geosynchronous Satellites by Marlow, Weston, Carlton, Ashley, Hyosang, Yoon, Clark, James, Haughwout, Christian, Cahoy, Kerri, Males, Jared, Close, Laird, Morzinski, Katie

“…Although the preliminary analysis indicates that a single satellite guide star cannot be used for observing multiple astronomical targets, it will only require a little propellant to relocate within the geosynchronous belt. Results of a design study on the feasibility of a small-satellite guide star have been presented, and the potential benefits to astronomical imaging and to the larger space situational awareness community have been highlighted.…”

Implementation Challenges of State-Led Redevelopment in Shrinking Cities: Case Study of Shantytown Redevelopment in Yichun, Northeast China by Gao, Shuqi, Ryan, Brent D.

“…The study analyzed the implementation of this policy in Yichun, a shrinking forestry city in China's rust belt (Northeast China). The implementation of this policy differs from China's typical privately funded market-led redevelopment in other areas, in terms of combining the rigorous implementation of central government's policy and funding in tandem with the discretionary actions of the local state-owned forestry bureau. …”
